Episode 2: Deathblow! Pineapple Kick!
(RWBY Dorm Room)
Alright, just in case you people have forgotten what happened last time, the famous Team RWBY were all bored when all of a sudden, a package from a different dimension appeared at their front door steps containing a series called Kamen Rider. After reading a note, the team leader, Ruby Rose, picked a random disk and thus began the marathon of watching Earth's 2013 Rider and the 15th Heisei Rider: Kamen Rider Gaim. Now that you're caught up, let's begin.
The scene starts back to everything that happened last episode with the first scene being Team Gaim dancing.
Narrator: Team Gaim dance gang's leader, Yuuya, vanishes without a trace.
"A recap, normal." Yang said.
The next scene is Yuuya meeting up with Sid.
Narrator: Looking for him, Kouta and Mai stumble upon a forest filled with otherworldly creatures.
"This narrator sure is straight to the point." Blake said.
"I'm not complaining." Weiss said.
The next scene is Kouta and Mai exploring the Helheim Forest before it shows off the Lockseeds Kouta had obtained.
Narrator: Using the power of a mysterious belt and locks, Kouta transforms into Armed Rider Gaim!
"Wait, Armored Rider? Not Kamen Rider?" Ruby said. "What's with that?"
"Maybe there's a reason for that." Blake said. "They wouldn't just change the title without a reason."
The last scene is Kouta transforming before it shows him finishing off the Byakko Inves.
"That was still awesome." Yang said and everyone agreed with her even though they watched the scene not too long ago.
The scene changes back to the Helheim forest as a small group of people in biosuits were going around the forest with belts of their own and picking Lockseeds off of the trees. On the back of the suit was the Yggdrasill symbol, meaning that they were from Yggdrasill.
"So Yggdrasill is getting their Lockseeds from here." Weiss said.
"They have belts like Kouta, but none of them have indicators like his." Blake pointed out.
"Maybe that means that they can't transform like Kouta." Yang guessed.
Suddenly, the sound of screaming caught everyone's attention and they turned to see two men running away from two Inves. Panicking, every man fled the area as quick as possible. The Inves gave chase when suddenly; Zangetsu appears and slashes one of them.
"Whoa! The girls jumped when Zangetsu appeared all of a sudden.
"Action this early into the episode?" Yang said. "I like."
The camera gets different angles of Zangetsu as he now wields a shield called the Melon Defender. Zangetsu then begins to decimate both Inves, slashing both of them before he sends a charged slash, destroying them both.
"Holy that was fast!" Yang said.
"He's strong." Weiss said that as a statement, not as a comment.
"His offense is strong and that shield must provide him great defense as well." Ruby said, analyzing Zangetsu. "If it's anything like Pyrhha's shield then it might have the ability to be thrown like a Frisbee. And since he has the same sword as Kouta, then he also has a gun if he needs to use it." She then smiles. "He's awesome!"
"The way he holds himself shows that he has fighting experience." Blake said.
After Zangetsu takes care of the Inves, the men all walk up to him and bow in thanks.
-Insert Opening here-
"That opening is still awesome." Ruby said.
"Agreed." Yang said.
The scene shows Kouta retuning home as happy music begins to play.
Kouta: I'm home!
Kouta's Sister: Welcome back. You're home late.
"Think he's gonna tell his sister what happened?" Yang asked.
"I know I would." Ruby said.
"Question is, will she believe him?" Weiss asked.
"Probably not." Blake said.
Kouta: Sis, I transformed. Seriously, I did.
"Just flats out says it. Doesn't even try and slowly mention it during a conversation." Weiss said.
"Better to not tell her at all." Yang said.
"I guess he must still be in shock." Blake said.
Kouta shows her the Sengoku Driver before he heads to his room. His sister just looks at him weirdly before focusing back on preparing dinner. That is, until…
ORANGE!
"He's transforming? In his room?" Weiss said.
"Is anyone else getting the feeling that this is a Jaune moment right here?" Yang asked and everyone raised their hands.
ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!
Kouta's Sister: What the—Kouta?
Of course, the sister hears all this and goes check to see what it is. She knocks on his door before opening it to see Gaim checking himself out. He sees her and poses.
Gaim: Well? How do I look?
Gaim points to himself as he asks. Kouta's sister just looks at him before smiling awkwardly.
Kouta's Sister: Uh, okay…just so you know, we're having meat and potatoes…
She says this while slowly closing the door. Gaim in return just give her a thumbs up.
Gaim: Okay!
"Okay, now I'm really getting some strong Jaune vibes here." Yang said.
"Guess they have more in common than we thought." Weiss said.
Funny music then begins playing as we see Kouta…trying out different transforming poses.
Kouta: Henshin. Henshin. Henshin. Henshin! Hen…shin! This isn't working…Henshin!...with graceful bend!
The entire team had blank looks at this.
"So…that happened." Yang said.
"I can see Jaune doing that." Weiss said. "Hell, I can see Ruby doing that."
"Hey! That's not true, right guys?" Ruby asked Yang and Blake, but they whistled innocence as they too can picture it. "You guys are means."
"I wonder what Nora would have done if she got her hands on these?" Blake wondered.
"Gods forbid it." Weiss said as she and everyone shivered at the thought.
ORANGE ARMS! HANMICHI ON STAGE!
Kouta's sister, who had been reading a magazine, slammed it down in annoyance.
Kouta's Sister: Kouta! Be quiet!
Having enough, Gaim plops down on his bed and goes to sleep.
Gaim: So…What am I supposed to do with this?
"Uh, duh. Fight bad guys, what else would you do with it?" Ruby said as if it were common knowledge.
It's a new day which means another day at work for Kouta who enters the building.
Kouta: Morning.
Chief: Ah, Kouta! Sorry, but you've got a delivery first thing.
Kouta: Got it. Chief, today, I'm a new man.
Chief: …what?
The Chief looks at Kouta weirdly before the scene changes to show Kouta preparing to leave. He smiles as he puts on the Sengoku and driver and pulls out the Orange Lockseed.
"Don't tell me he's actually going to do it." Weiss said.
"Oh, I think he's actually doing it. Yang said.
Kouta: Hen…shin!
ORANGE!
LOCK ON!
The metal 'orange' then descend as nearby people see this and start to freak out. Meanwhile, Kouta bobs his head to the music before 'slicing' the Lockseed.
SOIYA! ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!
Kouta: Yosh!
Gaim then tries to get into his scooter, but his helmet gets in the way. He then manages to fit in, but it's a tight fit.
Gaim: Man, that's tight-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
He then starts to lose his balance and falls along with the scooter. The Chief hears this and checks to see what happened.
Chief: What the heck are you doing!? …Kouta?
Gaim: Owww…Could you give me a hand, Chief? I'm so sorry about this!
The girls could do nothing, but facepalm.
"Idiot. Don't be Jaune." Weiss said.
"Major failure." Yang commented. "Strangely, this reminds of Ruby."
"What? How?" Ruby asked.
"On the first day you finally finished Crescent Rose, you tried to do everything with it, and I mean everything with it." Yang said. "Me and dad had to replace a lot of things because you ruined them."
Ruby nervously chuckles as she remembers the day she finished her baby. That day was a joyous moment while also being a doozy.
The scene then changes to Kouta's other work.
Worker: Hey, Kouta. Bring those cans up here, will ya?
Kouta: Sure thing, Boss! You know…today, I'm a new man!
"Oh no." Weiss said.
"Here we go again." Blake said.
Like before, Kouta smiles as he puts on the Sengoku Driver and pulls out the Orange Lockseed.
ORANGE!
LOCK ON!
The other workder back away in surprise when the metal 'orange' appears.
Kouta: Henshin!
SOIYA!
Gaim grabs the cans as requested and jumps up to the other workers, but when he lands, he causes a small quake, causing everything to rattle and for a can of yellow paint to fall on a worker.
"I actually expected this to go better than last time." Yang said. "What was I thinking?"
"What were you thinking?" Weiss said.
The scene changes to show Kouta sighing at his last failure, walking around a park before the sound of a crying boy was heard.
Boy: Mooooom!
Kouta hears this and looks around before he sees the boy stuck up in a tree.
"Okay, there is no possible way Kouta can fuck this up." Yang said.
"Yang, don't jinx it." Ruby said.
Kouta: What's the matter, kid?
"Seriously? Do you really have to ask?" Blake said. "He's stuck in a tree. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out."
Boy: I climbed this tree and now I can't get down!
Kouta: Awesome! Just hold on and I'll get you down!
Funny music begins to play again as Kouta straps on the Sengoku Driver again. However, a problem occurs as he can't fine his Lockseed which was strapped to the back of his backpack.
Kouta: Huh? That's weird. I could have sworn the lock was right…
As Kouta looks for his Lockseed, the music stops as none other than Kaito appears.
"What is he doing here?" Blake said, glaring at the Team Baron leader.
Kaito: You're not going to get anywhere by crying, boy. You have a choice to make. Jump down now…Or remain trapped in that tree all day.
Kouat: H-Hey.
"That's too harsh!" Ruby said.
"The kid's absolutely scared and he's telling him to jump?" Yang said. "That's crazy! He'll never do it."
However, much to Yang's and everyone's surprise, badass music starts to play as the kid indeed jumps off the tree. Quickly, Kaito goes and catches the kid.
Kaito: Good choice. You're definitely strong.
"I can't believe it…" Yang said.
Blake starts to get nervous as Kaito all of a sudden starts to remind her of a certain bull Faunus…and that wasn't a good thing!
Kouta: That could have been bad…
Kaito sets down the kid and glances at Kouta before turning to the kid.
Kaito: Don't forget, kid-in the end, all you can count on is your own strength.
Boy: Okay! Thanks, mister!
"A little kid should not be learning that!" Blake said.
"What is wrong with this guy?" Yang said as her eyes flashed red for an instant. "He wouldn't have helped if the kid didn't decide to jump! What is wrong with him!?"
Kaito smiles before he walks away, not even sparing Kouta a glance. The scene then changes to Kouta at home, laying his Sengoku Driver down on the table as he lays down on his bed.
Kouta: This isn't working…
"Geez, what was your first clue?" Yang said.
Kouta: I thought this was gonna be totally awesome.
"So did I." Ruby said.
Suddenly, Kouta's phone rings and he picks it up.
Kouta: Hello?
The caller was none other than Mai.
Mai: Kouta? Did you hear anything from Yuuya?
Kouta: No.
While Mai was talking with Kouta, the rest of Team Gaim was practicing their dancing skills.
Mai: He never came home last night either. And he hasn't come to the garage.
Kouta: What?
"I think it's time for a little investigating." Weiss said.
"What could have happened to Yuuya?" Ruby wondered.
"Worst case scenario, he was killed by an Inves." Blake said.
Kouta and Mai are then seen walking around the place they were at yesterday, the place Yuuya wanted to meet them. But when they got there, to their surprise, all the greenery from before was no more as the portal wasn't anywhere to be seen.
"What the hell?" Yang said. "What happened to the portal and all the greenery?"
"Something isn't right here." Blake said. "All that greenery could have just vanished along with that portal."
"I think someone must have gotten rid of it." Weiss said.
"What makes you say that?" Ruby asked.
"Look at the ground." Weiss pointed. "There are burn marks on the ground, meaning someone destroyed all the greenery using fire. But how they got rid of the portal is beyond me."
Kouta: What the? It's like a different place from yesterday.
Mai: Was it all a dream?
Kouta: I don't think so.
To prove his theory, he took out one of the Lockseeds he got from the forest.
"After what just happened, I doubt it was all a dream." Weiss said.
Mai: What if Yuuya never got out of that weird forest? Then one of those monsters would have gotten him…
"Like we said, that's a high possibility." Blake said.
"Poor Yuuya…" Ruby muttered.
Kouta: Hey, don't think like that. This is Yuuya we're talking about. He's fine. It wouldn't be the first time he got lost in his own little world, and wandered off somewhere without telling anyone, right?
"Kouta's right. We got to stay positive!" Ruby said.
Mai: But the team's in trouble right now! He wouldn't leave us at a time like this!
"Right, there is that." Yang said.
"Guess that theory is out the window." Weiss said.
Mai: Wait. He said that belt we found in the forest would turn things around for us.
Kouta: He did?
Mai: Give that back! It's not going to help us one bit if you keep it.
"Yeesh, talk about 'Weiss cold' eh, eh?" RWB could only face palm at the lame pun.
"Please leave me out of your puns." Weiss said.
Seeing her reason, Kouta takes out the belt and hands it to Mai. Grabbing it, she looks at it before he places it on her waist, but for some reason, the belt does not form.
Mai: Huh?
"What the? Why didn't the belt form?" Yang wondered.
"Did she break it?" Ruby guessed.
"Unlikely." Weiss said. "Kouta was using it not too long ago and it was working fine."
Kouta: That's weird. When I do it…
To prove it, Kouta grabs the Driver and places it on his waist, causing the belt to form.
Mai: What?
"Why did it work for Kouta and not Mai?" Yang wondered.
"Maybe the belt buckles' DNA locked." Ruby guessed.
"That would explain it." Weiss said. "Kouta was the first to put it on thus its locked to him. It's quite handy in case someone steals it and tried to use it against him."
Kouta: Let's ask the Lock Dealer. He's probably at Bandou's place.
"Finally, some info on the thing." Weiss said.
The two leave the area, not realizing that someone from Yggdrasill had been videotaping them from a distance.
"Yggdrasill again?" Yang said.
"Looks like there's more to this company than meets the eye." Weiss said.
'Takes one to know one.' Blake thought, but chose not to voice it.
Sid: Well, well, it's a Sengoku Driver.
The scene changes to Kouta and Mai talking to the Lock Dealer, Sid.
Sid: it locks itself to the first person who puts it on.
Mai: What?
Well, I guess that theory's been proven." Weiss said.
Sid: Looks like that Yuuya was a few cards short. I gave him an unbeatable deal, and he goes and lets someone else wear it first.
"Okay, now this guy is really starting to remind me of Roman." Ruby said.
"You're not the only one." Yang said as her eyes flashed red for an instant.
Sid: So, girl, you're a Gaim dancer too?
Mai: Yeah…
Sid: You're in baron's sights, aren't you? That's no good.
"Tell us something we don't know." Blake said.
Sid: I can lend you another Lockseed for that Driver.
Mai: Really?
Sid then picks up his tablet.
Sid: Zack, that Baron kid doesn't open any locks under C class. You'll need a C+ or B Class Seed to stand a chance again him.
"So we finally know that bastard's name." Yang said. "About time. I've been wanting to know his name before I pound him."
"Yang, he's not real." Weiss said.
Yang realized this and facepalmed herself. Ruby was rubbing off on her.
"So these Locks are divided into Classes." Blake pointed out.
"I wonder what Classes the Lockseeds Kouta has?" Ruby wondered.
Sid: I'd go with something like this…or this.
Sid then shows them a Lockseed that depicted a Pineapple with the words L.S.-05.
Sid: And…it'll cost you this much.
Sid shows them the price and the smiles they had dropped.
Kouta: Um…
Mai: No way! We can't pay that!
"Well, so much for that." Yang said.
The two then get up and leave…but Mai looks back, having second thoughts. Kouta sees this and drags her away.
Kouta: Mai! Let's just go!
The music then changes to a smooth kind as the scene changes to show Team Baron dancing for a crowd with they were enjoying.
"Damn those Barons! That's Team Gaim's stage!" Ruby said.
"But you have to admit, these low lives are good dancers." Weiss said.
"I hate to admit it, but I agree with Weiss. They are good dancers." Yang said.
The Team continued to dance as the crowd enjoys everything…until a second team suddenly run s up onto the stage as the music stops.
"What the? Who are they?" Yang asked.
"Another team it seems." Weiss said.
Guy: How 'bout you quit your lame dancing, and let us have this stage, huh, Baron?
The unknown team's name was then displayed as they were called: Team Raid Wild.
"Raid Wild? Kind of lame." Yang said.
"A lame attempt at sounding threatening." Blake said.
Zack: Raid Wild!
Zack goes to do something, but Kaito stops him.
Kaito: If you talk big, then you'd best have the strength to back it up.
"Okay, seriously, what's with this guy's deal with power and strength?" Yang said.
Kaito: Do you believe yourselves capable of matching us?
It was then showed who the leader's name was: Ryouji Hase.
Ryouji: Wanna find out?
People scatter as both teams prepare for an Inves Battle. While Ryuji unlocks his Lockseed to summon forth his Inves, Kaito surprises him by bringing out three Lockseeds!
Ryouji: Three at once!?
"That's not fair!" Ruby said.
"But then again, is it against the rules?" Blake said.
Kaito unlocks all of his Locks and summons forth three Inves.
BATTLE, START!
Raid Wild's Inves tried to put up a good fight, but the fight was over in minutes as the Inves was quickly taken out by the three Baron Inves.
YOU WIN!
"It wasn't even a fight at all." Weiss said.
Kaito: See, that's how you earn the right to talk big. Get out of my sight, weaklings.
In rage, Ryouji pushes some of his members away as he marches off. Meanwhile, some people comment at what just happened.
Man: Man, is there anyone one can stand up to Baron?
Girl: I thought this was Gaim's stage, anyway? It was yesterday, at least…I came to see Gaim dance, not them.
The girls couldn't help but smile at this.
"Despite the stage being stolen, their fans are still loyal." Blake said.
"That's makes me glad." Ruby said.
Kaito overhears this and walks up to them.
Man: Oi!
Girl: But it's not fair! Team Gaim would have won at a dance-off!
"While I appreciate the love, you might want to shut up now." Yang said.
Man: Keep it down, dammit!
Seeing that Kaito was watching them, the two quickly leave. Zack and another member sees this and go to talk with Kaito.
Zack: Man, those guys are lame.
Baron Member: Goin' on about Gaim like they matter anymore! What a joke!
"You're a joke!" Ruby said. "At least they don't cheat like you do!"
Kaito: They do if they're strong.
"Uh oh." Ruby said.
Kaito: All that really matters is strength. The weak are utterly beneath notice…Other than the grating noise of their pathetic whimpering.
Kaito walks off with the rest of his team following close behind.
"Okay, seriously, what's his deal with power?" Yang asked.
"It's like he's obsessed." Weiss said.
Blake didn't say a word as she tried to get the image of a certain bull Faunus out of her head. She blamed Kaito.
The scene changes to Kouta sighing.
Kouta: Where'd you go, Yuuya?
Kouta lies down on the pavement when his phone sudden rings. He sees the caller ID and answers.
Kouta: Micchy? What's up?
Micchy's Voice: Kouta, you gotta help us! Baron's just shown up at the garage!
Kouta: What!?
"Shit!" Yang said.
Micchy's Voice: They want us to hand over our Player Pass!
"That can't be good." Ruby said.
Kouta quickly runs as the scene changes to the garage. Kaito was in a seat in front of the Gaim members while the rest of his team were scattered about.
Mai: Like hell we will! Do you realize what you're asking!?
Kait: I'm not demanding it. I'm proposing a wager for it. If you win, you can have your western stage back. And…
Kaito then takes out a Pineapple Lockseed and shows it to them.
Kaito: I'll even throw in this A Class Lockseed too.
"Huh, what a coincidence." Yang said. "Sid tried to sell them that and here it ia, up for wager."
"An A Class. I wonder how powerful is it?" Ruby wondered.
Kaito: It's hardly a bad deal. Team Gaim's plummeting down the ratings. I'm offering you one last chance to claw back up.
"I want to say don't do it, but that offer is too good." Yang said.
Gaim Member: But if we lose our Player Pass, we won't be able to dance here anymore!
"There's also that problem." Blake said.
Kaito: As it should be!
"What!? All the girls said.
Kaito: The weak don't even deserve to walk these streets. It's a joke for you weaklings flailing in the mud to even call yourself a dance team! Better your little game ends now.
"Bastard!" Yang said as her eyes flashed red as her hair was on fire at this point.
"You talk big when you resort to using dirty tricks!" Weiss said. "It's you who's weak!"
"Yeah!" Ruby agreed with her partner/BFF.
Kaito: So, what'll it be? Do you have the strength to protect your place on these streets?
Baron Member: Though, wait. Do you guys even have a Lockseed?
"They will once Kouta gets here!" Ruby said.
Zack: I mean, I guess you could try fighting the Inves yourself, short stuff!
The team laughs as Mai seethes in ager. Finally, at long last, Kouta appears.
Kouta: Oh, we have a Lockseed!
Mai: Kouta!
"Cue the music!" Ruby and Yang said.
Kaito: You…
Kouta makes his way to Kaito and shows off his Strawberry Lockseed, surprising Kairo and his team members.
Kaito: An A Class Lockseed!?
"That's right you son of a bitch!" Yang said.
"Yang! Language!" Ruby said.
Kaito: Who are you?
"He's mother fucking Kouta Kazuraba!" Yang said.
"Language!" Ruby said before she quickly added, "And he's the star of this show, Kamen Rider Gaim!"
"And this is his stage now!" Weiss said before she realized what she said and blushed in embarrassment.
Kouta: I'll fight you on their behalf. That won't be a problem, right?
The scene then changes to show people running in order to see the upcoming Inves fight between Team Gaim and Team Baron.
Kouta: Let's get the terms clear. If we win, you give us back the western stage, and hand over that Lockseed to Team Gaim. Is that right?
Kaito: And if you lose, Team Gaim forfeits their Player Pass and disbands. Are you ready?
"He's been ready." Blake muttered as her teammates couldn't hear her.
Mai goes to do something, but Micchy stops her.
Micchy: Mai! Just leave it to Kouta.
Zack goes to his friend and smiles. The Baron Member knows what he means and runs off.
The girl's eyes widen once when they realize what they're planning.
"Those dirty little…" Weiss said.
"They're gonna use the same trick as last time!" Ruby said.
"Don't lose to them, Kouta!" Weiss said as Blake nodded in agreement.
Like his lasrt battle, Kaito brings out three Lockseed and unlocks them, summoning three Inves. Meanwhile, Kouta unlocks his and to everyone's surprise, it was an Deer Inves the size of a person.
Zack: What!?
"Oh Team Baron is so dead." Yang smiles sadistically.
"I concur." Weiss said.
Kaito showed surprise, but quickly washed it off.
Kaito: Impressive.
Kaito closes his Locksees as Kouta smiles at his friends and does the same, starting the match.
Kouta: Let's do this!
BATTLE, START!
The three smaller Inves circle around Kouta's Deer Inves and try to pile on it, but the Inves push them off and bash them away easily.
Kouta: All right! We did it!
Kaito: How could this be?
"That's what you get!" Yang said.
The happiness was shot lived when the Baron Member shows up as Kouta thrusts his Lockseed up in the air.
Baron Member: Loser.
Taking aim, the Baron Member fires and hits the Lockseed out of Kouta's hand, making him drop it. Dropping to the ground, the Deer Inves freezes up before it breaks out of the arena and goes on a rampage, causing people to panic.
"That bastard!" Yang said as she was on fire again.
"Doesn't he know that people will get hurt because of his actions!?" Blake said.
"You call them a loser, but the real loser is you!" Ruby said.
Kouta looks around for his Lockseed to calm down the panic. He quickly sees it, but it's then kicked away. Quickly, he chases after it as Mai realizes what happened.
Mai: That's what happened to me.
As the Deer Inves rampages, Kaito walks up to the Baron Member.
"Great, now he's about to be congratulated." Weiss said.
However, it was different. Kaito was pissed as he took the slingshot away from the member.
Kaito: You gutless worm! What were you thinking!?
"Wait, what!?" Weiss said. She wasn't the only one who was surprised.
"So, wait, Kaito didn't know about the whole cheating thing?" Ruby said.
"But then that would mean…" Blake and the rest of Team RWBY's eyes widen in realization.
Kaito was never cheating. He was fighting fair from the beginning.
"Okay, I feel like a total dick now." Yang said.
Baron Member: I, uh…I was just…
Kaito: Are you trying to shame me?
Kaito breaks the slingshot and throws it to the ground before looking at Zack who looks way in shame. Meanwhile, the Deer Inves was still rampaging. Kouta goes for the Lockseed, but it was kicked away again before he could reach it. Getting up, Kouta sees the Inves going after Baron and takes out the Sengoku Driver, looking at it as the music changed.
"Here we go, epic transformation!" Ruby said shaking in her boots.
Kouta: I couldn't handle the armor because I was just trying to use it for myself. But if I use it to protect people…
"You know what you have to do." Blake said.
"Kick its ass!" Yang said.
Kouta then puts on the Driver and takes out the Orange Lockseed.
Kouta: Henshin!
ORANGE!
Like before, the metal 'orange' descends from the portal as Kouta swings his arms to his left and right before he raises it and slaps it down on his Driver before he grabs the liver and 'slices' it.
"Okay, now that pre-transformation sequence was cool." Ruby said.
"I agree." Weiss said.
LOCK ON!
The horns and techno music starts to play, drawing everyone, even the Inves' attention.
SOIYA! ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!
Kouta: Let's do this!
Everyone started in surprise at what just happened. Meanwhile, Gaim shifts the Daidaimaru into this left and draws the Musou Saber before engaging the Inves. Gaim jumps at the Deer Inves who quickly ducks. Gaim swings his weapons which make a clang sound each rime they hit the Inves. It then starts to fight back as Gaim draws back to keep his distance before he kicks it away. Mad, the Deer Inves goes for a charging headbutt, aiming its horns at the armored Rider, but Gaim blocks the attack but is then pushed back. He stops after a while and pushes the Deer Inves off him before he punches it.
Gaim: Come on!
Gaim ducks under a swing from the Inves and strikes its back, making it stumble forward as Gaim pulls on the Pallet Slide and loads the Musou Saber. The Deer Inves goes for an attack, but Gaim blocks and fires a shot at point blank range. This process was repeated for a second time before Gaim unloads the rest of his bullets. Angry, the Inves goes for another attack, but Gaim dodges and slices the Inves, making it tumble back as the people back away in fear. It then notices the Strawberry Lockseed and goes for it, throwing aside some people who were in the way.
"Why do I have a bad feeling that something bad is going to happen once it gets that Lockseed?" Ruby asked.
Gaim catches one of the people that were thrown before he looks back at the Inves who actually ate the Lockseed.
Gaim: What?
"It ate it?" Weiss said.
"I have a bad feeling." Blake said.
Blake's worries were proven correct when the Deer Inves bursted into flames and came out SUPER buffed.
"Holy shit he's ripped!" Yang said.
"What the hell is that!?" Weiss said.
Mai: No way!
Kaito: Is that even an Inves anymore?
"We would like to know too." Blake said
The Berserk Deer Inves roars like a berserk tiger as Gaim breathes out in fear. However, he throws those fears away as he charges at it.
Gaim: I'm not scared of you!
"Idiot! Don't go charging without a plan!" Weiss said.
"Then again, what kind of plan can he come up against that thing?" Yang asked.
Gaim tries to hit the Berserk Inves, but it proved that not only did it look stronger; it was faster, flipping and jumping around like a break dancer.
"Monty, just how string is this thing now!?" Weiss said, surprised at the Inves' agility.
"We'd be dead if we faced anything like that unprepared." Blake said.
Finally, the Inves struck Gaim, sending the armored man flying into the upper pavement as he dropped his weapons. He held his head as he groaned in pain before he saw the Inves coming. He moved and dodged the best he could until the Inves literally lit his fist on fire and struck Gaim. Suddenly, Kaito appears and picks up Gaim's discarded Musou Saber before he looks up at the Inves.
"Why do I feel like he's about to do something stupid?" Blake asked.
As the Inves huge fist down on the ground before igniting his fists once again, Kaito yells as he charges at the Inves and slashes it, getting its attention. It turns to him as Kaito delivers another slashes before he was kicked away to Gaim.
Gaim: Hey!
"That idiot! What was he thinking!?" Weiss said.
"Why the hell did he do that!?" Yang said.
Gaim turns back to the Inves who roars before it charges at them. Thinking fast, Gaim 'slices' the Lockseed three times.
SOIYA! ORANGE SPARKLING!
Quickly getting in front of Kaito, his orange armor reassembles and blocks the first attack from the Inves. He then spins it around and blocks the next attack before he pushes it back. His armor then disassembles before Gaim turns to Kaito.
"Nice!" Ruby said at Kouta's quick thinking. "How did he know how to do that?"
"He must have learned it earlier when he was messing around with it." Weiss guessed.
Gaim: Hey! I need that Lock you betted on right now!
Kaito: What?
Gaim: Just hand it over! I won that battle, remember?
"I see what he's trying to do." Weiss said.
"What is it?" Ruby asked.
"If you remember from the preview, it showed Gaim in pineapple themed armor. " Weiss explained. "I bet he's gonna switch the Lockseed in his belt in order to use the Pineapple one."
"Oh, I see." Ruby said. "I wonder what kind of weapon he'll get."
Gaim extends his hand out either to help Kaito up or for the Lockseed. Either way, Kaito slaps the hand away and throws Gaim back his Musou Saber before getting up himself. He then takes out the desired Lockseed, looks at it before he hands it to Gaim.
Gaim: All right.
Gaim takes it out of Kaito's hand before he unlocks his current lock.
LOCK OFF!
He then places the new Lock onto the belt and locks it into place.
PINE!
LOCK ON!
Gaim's orange armor disappears into rainbow-like particles, leaving his in his helmet and bodysuit before he and Kaito looks up to a metal 'pineapple.' With one 'slice' the armor descends down onto Gaim and disassembles.
SOIYA! PINE ARMS! FUNSAI DESTROY!
The metal 'pine' disassembles into armor. The front folds like his orange armor except yellow as the sides fold down to form shoulder armor that reached down to his upper arms. The back rests on his back as his helmet is decorated in yellow studs surrounded with green 'leaves.' Not only that, but appearing in his hands was the Pine Arms' personal weapon, the Pine Iron, a pineapple themed Morning Star.
"So~! Co~ol!" Ruby squealed as stars filled her eyes. If one looked closely, those stars were actually the Pine Iron dancing around.
"While the armor looks rather silly on him, I feel like he has much more power than before." Weiss said.
"A Morning Star weapon. Interesting." Blake commented.
"Time to see what he can do with this new form." Yang said, exited.
Kaito looks at Gaim's new armor as Gaim looks at his new weapon.
Gaim: This is gonna take some getting used to…
"Understandable." Weiss said. "He's no trained warrior so a weapon like that is gonna take some time to master."
"Let's hope he doesn't fuck up." Yang said.
The roar of the Inves caused Gaim to turn as the Inves lands right in front of him and roars. Reacting, Gaim struck it with the Pine Iron and it seemed to do some damage, but the Inves then struck him back, but Gaim seemed to withstand the attack better than he did last time.
"His attacks are stronger and so is his defense." Blake pointed out.
"But he kind of seems slower though." Ruby pointed out.
"So the Pine arms increases his offense and defense, but lowers his speed." Weiss said. "A fair trade. Everything must have its weakness."
Gaim: You little lug!
Angry, Gaim swings around his new weapon and sends it at the Inves. Now with increased strength, the attack did more damage as the Inves actually stumbled back a bit. Gaim swings it again and takes out one of his wing-like appendages before he sends it a third time, but it got stuck.
Gaim: Whoa!
With a tug, the Inves draws in Gaim, sending him flying. Thinking fast, he combines the Musou Saber with the Pine Iron to form the Kusarigama Mode. In slow motion, Gaim hangs upside down as he slashes the Inves' shoulder before he lands.
"That was awesome!" Ruby said.
"A Kusarigama, just like me." Blake said, talking about her weapon, Gambol Shroud.
Seeing that Gaim was more powerful, the Inves ran.
Gaim: Hey! Get back here!
Both Team Gaim and Team Baron backed away as the Inves was coming for them. It swung its fist, but the Musou Saber still in Kusarigama Mode suddenly appears and wraps itself around the Inves arm.
Gaim: Don't you dare!
Gaim struggles to hold back the Inves before he goes for his Driver and 'slices' the Lockseed once.
SOIYA! PINE SQUASH!
As if knowing what to do, Gaim throws the Pine Iron up in the air and jumps. Everyone watches what Gaim was about to do, including Kaito who shows up. In the air, Gaim kicks the Pine Iron towards the Inves which grows and grows until it was almost as big as the Inves where it stuck itself to the Inves' head. Once that was done, Gaim kcis forwards as some force pushes him towards the Inves as his kicking feet was surrounded by yellow 'juice' or energy before he kicks through the Inves. Gaim then lands and looks behind him where he sees pineapple slices on the Inves as well as a hole the size of him. The Inves then falls backwards and exploded as Pineapple slices flew.
The girls all screamed and cheered at that awesome finisher.
"That! Was! AWESOME!" Ruby screamed.
"Now that's what I call a finishing kick!" Yang said.
"Despite his inexperience with the weapon, he used it effectively and showed that beast what for!" Weiss said.
"No comment." Blake said as she felt she didn't need to comment on the epicness that was that kick.
Gaim: Alright!
Everyone who covered themselves from the explosion looked at what had happened.
Micchy: We won…?
Gaim Member: We did it! We won!
Gaim Member #2: Heck yeah, Kouta!
Gaim Member #3: You were great!
Mai: Kouta!
All of Team Gaim runs up to him and congratulates him as Team Baron watches.
Zack: Kaito!
Kaito: What is he…?
"Like I said, he's mother fucking Kouta Kazuraba!" Yang said.
"Language!" Ruby said before quickly adding, "And the star of this show, Kamen Rider Gaim!"
Gaim looks at Mai before he notices Kaito looking at him. The scene then suddenly changes to DJ Sagara.
Sagara: We got some unbelievable footage coming in! Right in the middle of a throw down between Team Gaim and Team Baron, a Beat Rider in an armored get-up crashed in and stomped the INves himself! Just who is this mysterious Rider? He sorta looks like he's a member of Team Gaim so let's call him Armored Rider Gaim!
"Oh, I see now." Blake said.
"What is it?" Yang asked.
"The reason why he's called Armored Rider and not Kamen Rider is because people know his identity." Blake explained. "Back in the east, the word 'kamen' meant mask or masked so the show is translated to 'Masked Rider Gaim,' but since people know his identity, 'Kamen' wouldn't work."
"And since the Lockseeds provide him different armor, 'Armored' was used instead." Weiss said, getting what Blake was saying.
"Exactly." Blake said.
The scene changes to a well-dressed man in a black car fiddling with a Melon Lockseed as his name was displayed as: Yggdrasill Corporation Administrator: Takatora Kureshima.
"It's that guy from the opening!" Ruby said until she realized something. "Wait a minute, 'Kurashima? Isn't that Micchy's last name?"
"Which means they're brothers?" Yang said.
"I guess that explains that little scene of them in the opening." Weiss said.
"But wait, it says that he's the Yggdrasill Corporation Administrator." Blake pointed out. "Wouldn't that mean…"
"But why is Micchy with a dance team when this guy is the Administrator?" Yang said.
"This brings up some new questions." Weiss said.
Takatora: 'Armored Rider?' Quaint. Still that's a first. Things are progressing well.
Dark music starts playing as Takatora puts on some shades as the ride drives towards Yggdrasill Tower before the scene changes with the zipper, showing off Gaim's logo along with the current Lockseeds he has.
Narrator: Next time on Kamen Rider Gaim!
Kaito: He doesn't know how to use his belt.
The scene shows Kaito before it changes to Kouta wearing a new outfit before it changes to Gaim in stage as a cheering crowd was in front of him.
"Oh, like you know how to use it." Yang said, guessing Kaito might steal the thing and use it for himself.
"Why does Gaim standing in front of a cheering crowd doesn't sit well for me?" Blake asked.
"You're not the only one feeling that." Weiss said.
Mai: Kouta, you idiot!
The scene changes to Mai and Kouta talking while the rest of the team was watching from above.
"Aw~!" Ruby cooed. "I sense a moment between these two."
Kouta: Is that…!
Kaito: Henshin.
The scene shows a surprised Kouta as Kaito was holing a Banana Lockseed.
"What!?" All the girls screamed in surprise.
Enter a new Rider!
KNIGHT OF SPEAR!
The scene changes to Gaim and Baron racing on their newly obtained Sakura Hurricane and Rose Attacker.
"Wait, wait, wait! He got his own Sengoku Driver!?" Yang said. "How!?"
"Sid. It must be him." Ruby said.
"I agree with Ruby." Weiss said. "Sid was the one who gave Yuuya the Sengoku Driver. What's to say he doesn't have another one?"
"Not only that, but that's the Rider that faced Gaim in the beginning of the first episode." Blake pointed out that Baron was one of the armies back in the first episode."
Sagara: Keep your eyes peeled!
"Nice pun." Yang said.
Episode 3: Shock! The Rival's Banana Transformation!?
"Well, every hero has got to have a rival of some sorts." Ruby said. "And I guess Kouta just found his. So, any thoughts on the episodes?"
"Well, we learned that Kouta has a lot more in common with Jaune than we first thought." Weiss said, thinking about the beginning events of the episode which were absolutely ridiculous.
"We learned that Kaito had no knowledge of his team members cheating, yet he's strangely obsessed with strength and power." Blake said. 'Not to mention that he reminds me of a little of Adam, just less creepy and more power obsessed.'
"The fight scenes were awesome!" Yang said. "That Inves transformation was surprising, but Kouta was still able to beat it! It was awesome!"
"I have a feeling Kouta will only get stronger from here on out." Ruby said before he grabbed the remote. "One more episode before bed?"
The girls simply nodded as they turned their focus back on the TV.
