AN: Alright, guys, I'm back! If you're wondering why I switched Ryugen from Asuna to Shino, it's because other than Shino being a gunslinger, it's that recent information regarding Gaim has been leaked and it made me think twice about this. Anyways, it's Showtime!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kamen Rider Gaim or Sword Art Online.
Chapter 2: Back with a Deadly Pineapple Kick!
In the mysterious forest, men in hazmat suits appeared on scene and were studying the forest and fruits. What's even stranger is that they were wearing Sengoku Driver but without the knife levers or the faceplate. One of them grabbed a fruit and it soon transformed into the Pinecone Lockseed.
They were soon attacked by a couple of Elementary Inves. They started running away from the Inves but before the Inves could chase them, a new Rider appeared and slashed them.
He had a white bodysuit, green samurai styled armor with a melon theme, and the armor had gold trims. His visor was lime colored and he carried a Musou Saber along with a big green shield. Lastly, on his waits was the Sengoku Driver with a faceplate of white armored helmet in front of a slightly darker white background. And in the center was the opened lockseed with its hanging part being the picture of his shield. This was Kamen Rider Zangetsu.
He easily slashed the two Inves, making them explode. The men approached him and thanked him but Zangetsu just looked back at where the deceased Inves were before letting out a…
"Hmph."
(Play Just Live More by Gaim no Kaze)
The scene is zipped open revealing Gaim, Baron, Ryugen, Aura. and Zangetsu back-to-back behind fence with locks attached. They were posing as the camera was focused on Gaim.
The plants of Helheim begin to diminish to reveal an object. That object was soon smashed by the Riders' weapons and when they stopped it was revealed to be the title.
[Got it, move…wow…]
[Don't say no, just live more! Don't say no, just live more!] We see the four Riders in a room of Samurai armors as they posed. Gaim pointed his Musou Saber while the reflection under him was Kirito.
[Survival, you gotta move. Gendai wa sanagara Sengoku.] Kirito runs towards the screen but a fence with locks blocks him from doing so. He then sees himself with Orange Lockeed and tries to call out to him. He and the fence crumbles away as the other Kirito walks away.
[Dare ga kachi nukeru? Kagi was hirake rarete shimatta. (Don't say no, just live more!)] Team Baron starts dancing with Kaito leading them. We then see Kirito and Kaito glare at each other; each one holding a Lockseed. Kirito had the Orange Lockseed while Kaito had the Banana Lockseed. In their reflection were Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Baron, who started to charge at each other. Asuna, with the Raspberry Lockseed, looks at the battle while her reflection was replaced with Kamen Rider Aura.
[Doko ni aru? (Don't say no, just live more!)] In the reflection Kirito and Kaito have some kind of hand wrestle while someone picks up the Budou Lockseed. That someone is revealed to be Shino and sees her cousin Minato holding the Melon Lockseed. In their reflections were Kamen Rider Ryugen and Zangetsu. Shino tries running to him but a fence get in between them while Zangetsu points his Musou Saber at Ryugen's neck.
[Dou tsukau? Kindan no Kajitsu!] We then see the Riders appearing one by one in the room. We then see Gaim in Suika Arms Yoroi Mode but transforms into Gyro Mode as Baron passes him on his bike. The scene then shifts to the characters activating their Sengoku Driver, from Zangetsu, Baron, and Gaim in order.
[Ima to iu kaze wa.] Kamen Rider Gaim is ready for action and slashed an Inves by its gut as he drew his Musou Saber.
[Dare mo tsutaeru tame. Omae no moto ni fuku?] Team Gaim dances while the camera was more focused on Kirito, Asuna, and Suguha. The scene shifts to Kirito saying hi to her while in their reflections were Kaito and the girl in white, who looks like Suguha.
[Tsuyukou tsuyoku Blowin' up!] Zangetsu points his Musou Saber at the screen while behind him were pinecone themed Riders. We then see Gaim hack and slash through them and in his reflection Baron was doing the same thing.
[Ashita ga, Yume ga, mada mienakute mo!] Ryugen shoots down a fence and advance as Team Gaim finishes their dance. They soon disappear to be replaced by Mysterious Girl who points at the viewer.
[Soko Genkai? Seiipai! Ikite iru to ieru nara!] Gaim slashes the screen as Team Baron continues their dance. We then see Baron, in Helheim, slashing the Elementary Inves.
[Utsumukuna yo (Kao agero) Doko made demo (Mageru koto naku)] We then see the weapons and broken armors of all the Riders with each respective Lockseed next to them.
[Shinjita michi o yuke! (JUST LIVE MORE!)] All five riders were back to back, practicing their weapons. We then see Kirito being trapped by a fence with locks and yells as the plants around it grow.
[Don't Say No! Just Live More!] Gaim rides on his horse as he rushed to battle.
(At Kirigaya residence)
"I still can't believe you transform!" Suguha said.
"Neither did I." Kirito said before looking at his Sengoku Driver.
"Should we tell our parents?" Suguha asked.
"I think it is best that they don't know now, especially since we have no idea what we have right here." Kirito answered.
"Okay, also, one more thing about Kamen Riders is that they have their own unique transformation poses. Maybe you should…" Suguha trailed off.
"You want me to try my own pose?" Kirito asked before Suguha nodded. He then thought about it. It would make him look cool but is it really necessary. "I don't know…"
"Please?" She asked with puppy eyes.
"I…fine."
Thus begun the many attempts at poses for Kirito, he tried multiple poses but Suguha didn't seemed to be impressed by any one of them.
"I don't think this is working." He said before doing one last pose on the bed. Suguha looked at him.
"It looks more stupid than cool." Suguha said as Kirito rested himself on the bed while the Orange Lockseed was in his hand.
"So, I'm supposed to use this power to help the innocent?"
Suguha nodded.
"Seems simple enough." Kirito said, a part of him thought it would help him with other things but…he already knows that with power comes with responsibility. A lesson he learned the hard way.
(The next day in Alfheim)
Kirito, who now had elf ears, arrived in his virtual home and when he opened the door, he was tackled by a little girl.
"Papa!"
"Good to see you too, Yui." Kirito greeted.
Yui was a Mental Health Counseling Program for SAO but she gained awareness and escaped into SAO and was founded by Kirito and Asuna shortly after they were married in-game. But circumstances led to Kirito converting her data into an in-game item. But they were reconnected in Alfheim in Kirito's mission to save Asuna. Now he and Asuna were living happily with Yui in the online world.
"Are you okay!?" Yui asked with worry. "Mama told me what happened yesterday."
"Hey, don't worry. You should know, it takes a lot more than that to kill me." Kirito answered as he lifted Yui up and carried her to the house. He gently laid her in the couch.
"Hey Papa?"
"Huh?"
"How come you quitted the Team?" She asked. Kirito knelt down to her level.
"Believe me, I wanted to come back every second ever since I left." Kirito answered.
"Then why did you leave? I saw the Beat Rider rankings and Team Gaim went way down ever since you left." Yui pointed out.
"I just have a lot to do. One of them is finding a way for you to see in the real world. I'm really close now."
"You mean it!?" Yui asked with a sparkle in her eyes.
"I'm one hundred percent sure. Anyways, where is Asuna and the others?"
"Oh, they've been challenged to an online territory battle a few minutes ago. You just missed them."
"Challenged by who?"
"Team Raid Wild. Are you planning to join?" Yui asked and Kirito relaxed himself on the couch as a response.
"They shouldn't be trouble for them." He answered before noticing something in his inventory. "Huh?"
(In the Ancient Forest)
In the forest was a large stone which stood taller than the trees and it had Team Gaim's symbol on it. In territory battles, the goal was simple; one team tries to destroy the Marker while the other defends it until the time limit runs out.
"Alright everyone, we're doing great just keep up the pressure!" Asuna said. Her in-game avatar had blue eyes, elf ears, long blue hair, and wore a white and blue outfit. And on her side was a sword.
She sprouted her wings when she saw a Raid Wild Member coming in her direction.
Shino, or Sinon now, was a Caith Sith with a green coat, white armor, a black choker, and had a belted quiver across her shoulders. She also had cat ears, a tail, blue eyes, and blue hair in a style that is similar to hers in the real world. She was sniping Raid Wild members with her bow and arrows whenever they got to close.
Sinon saw another Raid Wild member about to attack Ryotaro, or Klein in this case, from behind. She fired her arrow and landed straight in the guy's head and exploded into pixilated shards upon impact.
Klein, who pretty much looked like the way he did in the real world except had slightly darker hair and wore a outfit similar to a Japanese samurai with a katana, looked back and saw what happened. He then looked at Sinon's sniping spot.
"Thanks!" He said which Sinon waved off before the two got back to business.
Ayano, or Silica now, was a Caith Sith like Sinon but other than the cat ears, tail, and slightly different hair, she pretty much look the same. She wore blue robes, had a dagger, and next to her was her tamed Feathery Dragon, Pina.
Pina was an AI that came from SAO like Yui. And when New Aincrad was created, Silica became reunited with Pina.
Pina sprayed a Raid Wild member with the bubble breath, paralyzing him. Silica used the opportunity to slash another member in the back. The member let out a large grunt before flying away.
"Liz, he's heading your way!" Silica warned.
Rika, pretty much looked normal other than the pink hair, wore a red outfit with iron armor on her. She wielded a one-handed spiky mace and a shield. She looked to see the member. She quickly bashed him in the face with her shield before pashing him in the head with her mace. He then vaporized into shattered pixels.
Liz then saw a certain Raid Wild member about to close in on the Marker.
"Leafa, heads up!" Liz warned.
Suguha, now Leafa, has green eyes, long blonde hair tied in a ponytail, and wore a green outfit. She soon saw the leader of Raid Wild, Ryoji Hase, going for the Marker.
He had long black hair, black armor, a yellow outfit, elf ears, and carried a greatsword. He was really close to the Marker.
"Oh no you don't!" Leafa said before charging.
Hase blocked the attack with his sword.
"Why are you even attacking us!? Your team in one is in the top rankings!" Leafa pointed out.
"We know but you guys are only in the Beat Rider rankings ebcuase of your winning streak in the online territory battles. This shouldn't be surprising to you."
"Huh?" Leafa went before Hase managed to slash at her. Leafa sees that she lost a good bit of health before Hase charges. He soon stopped when he sees a sword through his abdomen. Leafa sees Asuna piercing her sword through Hase. Hase soon exploded into pixels and Asuna sheathed her sword.
"TIME'S UP!"
The Marker soon started glowing blue before the members of Raid Wild retreated. Asuna and Leafa soon caught up to the rest of Team Gaim.
"That was something, huh?" Klein first asked.
"Yeah, we're definitely compensating for what happened in the real world." Sinon pointed out.
"I just hope we can get our stage back though." Silica let out.
"What are you talking about? Of course, we'll get our stage back, right Asuna?"
"Yeah, although, I wish either of us knew where Yuuya is." Asuna said.
"Well, we won't get that mystery solved here. Let's head back now." Leafa suggested before all of them agreed and teleported out of the zone.
(At Kirito and Asuna's home in Yggdrasil City)
"It's as if this thing doesn't want to leave me alone." Kirito mused as he and Yui were looking at what's on the table; his Sengoku Driver and Orange Lockseed. "Yui, can you find out where it came from?"
Yui spend a few minutes studying it and the Lockseed. For the Lockseeds, they also appeared online as well but can't be used in territory battles.
"Well?" Kirito asked.
"I'm sorry, Papa. But I have no ID on this device and whoever sent this to you…I can't track who it came from. Whoever sent this hid the code very well." Yui explained. Kirito took it and the Orange Lockseed before placing them back in his inventory.
"It's okay, Yui. But for now, I think it's best if we keep this between ourselves."
"Even Mama can't know?"
Kirito shook his head. Just then Asuna came in.
"Yui! I'm home!"
"Mama!" Yui said before jumping into her arms. Asuna smiled a bit before looking at Kirito.
"Hey." Kirito greeted.
"What are you doing here, Kirito?"
"What? I can't come here?" Kirito asked, pretending to be hurt. "Anyways, how did the territory battle went?"
"Easy as always."
"Good but…was Yuuya there?"
"He wasn't."
"Any luck in the real world?"
"No, in fact, he didn't even come home or to the garage. I'm starting to get worried." Asuna admitted.
"Do you think he's alright?" Yui asked. She had met Yuuya a few times and has grown to like him. He even taught her a few dancing moves.
"Anyways, I've been talking to Leafa and we agreed to check out the portal in a couple of hours."
"Alright, I'll meet you guys there soon." Kirito said before he and Asuna decided the next few minutes playing with their daughter.
(Later in the real world)
Kirito was walking to where he was supposed to meet Asuna and Suguha. While walking he noticed, a boy stuck in a tree.
"Mooom!" The boy called out. Kirito looked up at him.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"I climbed this tree and now I can't get down!" He explained. Kirito was debating whether he should it himself or use the Driver but someone else approached the boy.
"You're not going to get anywhere by crying, boy." A voice said. Kirito looked and recognized the guy as Kaito Kumon, leader of Team Baron. "You have a choice to make. Jump down now…or remained trapped in that tree all day."
"H-Hey!" Kirito let out.
The boy stared at him while coming up with a decision. He then jumped off only for Kaito to catch him.
"Good choice. You're definitely strong." Kaito remarked.
"That was a close one…" Kirito said. Kaito then looked at him as he places the boy down. Kaito couldn't help but notice that he might've seen him before but shook it off. He then looked back at the boy.
"Don't forget, boy-in the end, all you can count on is your own strength." He said.
"Okay! Thanks, mister!" The boy said before Kaito left.
(At the warehouses)
Kirito sees where Asuna and Suguha are and approached them.
"Hey, guys, what going…" He then noticed the plants and portal were gone. "…on?"
"It was like this when we got here." Asuna explained.
"It makes it look like as if we were never here." Suguha mused.
"That's not true." Kirito said as he brought out the Driver and Lockseed.
"Do you think that…Yuuya didn't even get out of that weird forest?" Asuna thought out loud. "Maybe one of the Inves got him and…"
"Hey, don't think like that. After all, this is Yuuya that we're talking about. He should be fine." Kirito reassured. "This isn't the first time that he got lost in his own little world, and wandered off somewhere without telling anyone, right?"
"But the team is in big trouble right now!" Suguha pointed out. "It's just not like him to leace at a time like this"
"Wait, didn't he said that belt buckle would help us turn things around for us?
"That's right, he did." Kirito said, remembering the text he got from Yuuya yesterday.
"We need that belt buckle! No offense, but I don't think it would help us one bit if you keep it.:
Kirito shrugged before offering it to her.
"Hey Asuna, I don't think that it would work…." Suguha started.
Asuna then tried it on but nothing happened.
"…for you." She finished.
Kirito then looked at it for himself.
"Strange, when I do it…" Kirito then placed the Driver on before the belt materialized around his waist.
"Huh?"
"Maybe Sid would know something about this. We can ask him." Suguha proposed. "He's probably at the Dicey Café."
Everyone agreed as they left the area but unknown to them, a man from Yggsdrasill was watching their movement and recording it.
(At Dicey Café)
"Well, well, it's called a Sengoku Driver." Sid started as he was eating his food. "It locks itself to the first person who puts it on."
"Huh?" Suguha said surprised.
"Yeah, looks like that Yuuya's a few cards short. I give him an unbeatable deal, and he goes and lets someone else wear it." He then looked at Asuna and Suguha before asking them a question. "So, girls, you're Gaim dancers?"
Both the girls nodded.
"You're in Baron's sights, aren't you? That's no good." Sid started. "If you want, I can lend you another Lockseed for that Driver."
"Really?" Suguha asked. Sid then got on his iPad.
"Zack, the Baron kid…doesn't open any locks under the C class. You'll need a C+ or B seed if you want to stand a chance against him." Sid said as he was looking to see which Lockseed would be best to offer. He then found the perfect one. "I'd go with something like this…or this." He said before showing them the picture.
It had the picture of a pineapple on it and the code 'LS-05.'
"And…it comes out to this." Sid said as he brought up the price in front of them. The price was too big for either Kirito or Suguha, so they turned to Asuna.
"Why are you guys looking at me?" She asked.
"Well…you are the richest person in this place." Kirito pointed out, considering that Asuna was the daughter of a retired business man who was once CEO of RECTO Progress Inc.
"Oh…well…you see…"
"C'mon, we'll pay you back." Suguha said.
"It's not that…" Asuna said. Kirito then gets what she's trying to say.
"Asuna…don't tell me that…" Kirito started.
"Well, my family is kind of…strict nowadays." She explained
"So in other words…" Kirito started.
"We can't afford it!" Suguha said.
A few moments they all start leaving while Kirito and Asuna were dragging an angry Suguha.
(At Team Gaim's old stage)
Kaito was leading his team as they were dancing. People were cheering for them as they continued. Just then members of Raid Wild appear with Hase who wore black and yellow and pretty much looked like a human version of his avatar.
"How 'bout you quit your lame dancing, and let us have this stage, huh, Baron?" Hase asked.
"Raid Wild!" Zack recognized as he stepped up but Kaito stopped him.
"If you talk big, you'd best have the strength to back it up. Do you believe yourselves capable of matching us?" Kaito asked.
"Wanna find out?" Hase asked when he brought out a Himawari Lockseed.
Everybody knew what this meant as they got off the stage and into a wider area. Hase opened his Lockseed first and a zipper portal opened. It dropped an Elementary Inves with green highlights.
Kaito brought out two Himawari Lockseeds and one Lockseed that had a walnut on it with the code 'LS-02'.
"Three at once!?" Hase remarked.
Kaito didn't answer but instead opened them. Three zipper portals opened and it dropped two red Elementary Inveses and a blue one.
"BATTLE START!"
The Inves started fighting each other as people started cheering for the winner.
"That's right! Get them!"
"Alright, tear them apart!"
Soon it was only a matter of time before Baron's Inveses brought Raid Wild's Inves to its knees.
"YOU WIN!"
The four Inves were dismissed and the stage vanished. Kaito walked up to Hase.
"See, that's how you earn the right to talk big. Now get out of my sights, weaklings!" Kaito said.
Hase and the rest of Team Wild then left.
"Man, is there anyone that can stand up to Baron?" A bystander asked.
"I thought this was Gaim's stage, anyway? At least, it was yesterday…" Another bystander said. "I came to see Gaim dance, not them."
"Shhh!"
Just then Kaito started to overhear the whole thing.
"But it's not fair! Team Gaim would have won at a dance-off!"
"Keep it down, idiot!" They then turned to see Kaito and the Barons. They then left.
"Man, those guys are lame." Zack said.
"Goin' on about Gaim like they matter anymore! What a joke!" Peco said.
"They do if they're strong." Kaito answered. "All that really matters is strength. The weak are utterly beneath notice…Other than the grating noise of their pathetic whimpering." Kaito said before he left along with the rest of Team Baron.
(In the city)
It was Kirito's day off and he decided to spend it looking for Yuuya. But no matter, where he went Yuuya wasn't there nor were there any hints at his location. He even asked Yui to see if she can search for him.
After a few minutes of that, Yui came back with zero results on him. Right now, Kirito was resting on the side of the street while looking at his Orange Lockseed.
"Where'd you go, Yuuya…" He said before resting himself on the floor. Just then the phone rang and Kirito looked at the Caller ID to see that it was Shino.
"Shino? What's up?" Kirito started.
"Kirito, you gotta help us! Baron's just shown up at the garage!" Shino explained.
Kirito got up.
"What!?"
He then picked up his stuff, got on his bike, and drove.
"They want us to hand over our Player Pass!" Shino further explained as Kirito drove down the street.
(At Team Gaim's headquarters)
"Like hell we will! Do you realize what you're asking!?" Asuna started.
"I'm not demanding it, former Sub-Commander. I'm proposing a wager for it." Kaito answered. He was an SAO player like most of the people on Team Gaim. He even once served under the Knights of the Blood and even fought with Asuna in a few dungeons.
"One, you don't have to call me that anymore. And two, we're listening." Asuna answered back.
"If you win, you can have your western stage back. And…" Kaito got out the Pineapple Lockseed. "…I'll even throw in this A Class Lockseed too. It's hardly a bad deal."
He was right, it was hardly a bad deal but, of course, there is always a price.
"Team Gaim is plummeting down the ratings, if it weren't for your online status your team would've been kicked off the ratings a long time ago. I'm offering you one last chance to claw your way up in the real world."
"But if we lose our Player Pass, we won't be able to dance anymore!" Liz noted.
"As it should be!" Kaito answered back. "The weak don't even deserve to walk these streets." He said. "It's a joke for you weaklings flailing in the mud to even call yourself a dance team. It's a miracle that you're even holding on right now. Better then to end your little game now."
Asuna stared at him with a fierce look.
"Now…what'll it be? Do you even have the strength to protect your place on these streets?"
Asuna and the others didn't answer as Peco noticed something.
"Now, wait a minute…Do you guys even have a Lockseed?" Peco asked.
"I mean, I guess you could try fighting the Inves yourself, short stuff!" Zack mocked before he and the rest of the Barons started laughing. Just then the door bursts open with Kirito and Shino entering.
"Oh, we have a Lockseed!" Kirito exclaimed as he and Shino entered.
"Kirito!" Asuna and the others recognized.
"You…" Kaito started. "Now I remember you, Black Swordsman."
Kirito walked up to Kaito before pulling out the Ichigo Lockseed. Team Baron became surprised.
"An A Class Lock!?" Kaito remarked before looking at Kirito. "Of course I should've expected this out of a Beater."
"I'll fight you on their behalf." Kirito said. "That won't be a problem, will it?"
(Later in the city)
Everyone was approaching the field as each team prepared their Lockseeds.
"Let's make the terms clear. If we win, you'll give us back the western stage, and hand over that Lockseed to Team Gaim. Is that right?"
"And if you lose, Team Gaim forfeits their Player Pass and disbands…the same goes online. Are you ready?"
Suguha was about to say something until Asuna stopped her.
"Suguha! I'm sure Kirito can do this." Asuna assured.
Zack nodded at Peco, who then walked away. Kaito and Kirito then opened thei Lockseeds, summoning their Inves.
While Kaito summoned his three Elementary Inves, Kirito summoned one that is the size of the human and looked more of a deer.
"What!?" Zack let out as Kaito became surprised.
"Impressive." Kaito said before commanding his Inves to attack.
The members of Team Gaim smiled at Kirito before he did the same thing.
"Let's do this!" Kirito said.
"BATTLE START!"
The Inves started going at each other but the Shika Inves was winning. It was only a matter of time before it gained the advantage.
"Yes!"
"Alright!"
"Tear them apart!" Were some of the shouts that Team Gaim let out while Team Baron was shocked.
"How could this be?" Kaito let out. AS Team Gaim was celebrating, Peco got his slingshot ready and aimed for the Ichigo Lockseed in Kirito's hand.
"Loser." He muttered before firing it. The shot hit Kirito's hand making him drop the Ichigo Lockseed. The Shika Inves then materialized and broke through the ring and started attacking people.
"Hey!" Kirito said while trying to get back the Ichigo Lockseed. Suguha then looked at the scene that was very familiar.
"That's what happened to me…" She said.
He tried getting the Lockseed but the panicking people were kicking it out of his way. Kaito then looked to see a laughing Peco with a slingshot in his hand. He approached him.
"You gutless worm! What were you thinking!?" Kaito asked.
"I, uh…I was just-." Peco started while trying to find an excuse. Before he could find one, Kaito grabbed the slingshot from him and broke it.
Kaito looked at Zack to see if he knew anything about this. Zack just looked away but the expression on his face was enough for Kaito to understand. Suguha looked at them but the Shika Inves was still terrorizing everyone there.
Kirito still kept trying to get the Lockseed back but it was still being kicked around. He then looked to see the Inves started attacking both dancing teams now.
Kirito got up and looked at his Sengoku Driver. He then looked at everyone. Their faces were filled with terror and it reminded him of what happened three years ago in SAO. After what he went through the past three years, he wasn't going to let anyone else be hurt. Not Asuna, his friends, or anyone else. He then thought about what Suguha said about being a Kamen Rider.
'I'm starting to understand why I was given this power. I won't let anyone die here, not again! I have to use this power! The power of a Kamen Rider to protect those I care about!'
He then placed the Driver on and the belt was placed. He then got the Orange Lockseed out.
"Henshin!"
"ORANGE!"
The zipper portal appeared over his head and the orange sphere as well. Kirito then shifted his upper body to the left, then right, and the back to the center which he raised the Lockseed high in the air. He then placed the Lockseed in his Driver before jamming its lock in place.
"LOCK ON!"
The Shika Inves lets go of a Baron member as it stared at him. Asuna and Suguha looked at him with worried faces while everyone else was confused.
He then cut through the Lockseed.
"SEIYA!"
The orange sphere dropped down on Kirito like last time before forming his Gaim armor.
"ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!"
The orange then unfolded into armor and revealed Gaim's helmet. Once it was complete, Gaim places his Daidaimaru in his other hand as he withdrew his Musou Saber.
"Okay! Let's go!" Gaim said before charging. He jumped in and slashed the Shika Inves. The Inves tried to attack back but Gaim was easily dodging him. And when it did tried to land a few punches, Gaim just blocked them with his swords. The Shika Inves just tried ramming into Gaim but he blocked them with his swords but was being pushed back.
Gaim pushed him off and punched him.
"There! How do you like that!?"
He then ducked the Inves's attempt at a punch and slashed it in the back. Gaim then pulled the back of his Musou Saber before firing it at the Inves. The Inves, who tried charging again, had sparks flying off before it was close enough but Gaim blocked it with his Daidaimaru and continued firing. Gaim then dodged another charge before slashing the Inves in the back.
The Inves flew backwards to the crowds of people and noticed the Ichigo Lockseed on the floor. It got up and threw a person out of the way. Gaim caught him.
"Hey, are you alright?" Gaim asked before letting that person go. He then sees the Inves pick up the Lockseed before eating it. "Huh?"
The Inves then burst into flames before reemerging into a bigger, more devastating, and more dangerous version of it. Everyone around became shocked at the transformation.
"No way!"
"Is that even an Inves anymore..?" Kaito wondered.
It roared but Gaim wasn't afraid.
"I've faced worse than you!" Gaim said before charging. He tried slashing the Evolved Shika Inves but it was more reactive and quicker in response. It dodged every single attack before it kicked Gaim away. Gaim flew until he hits the side of a building and he fell down hard with a little bit of rubble following.
Gaim got up and quickly moved away as the Inves charged at him. Gaim got away just in time but Inves charged its fists up to the point that they were on fire and punched Gaim with them.
"Kirito!" Asuna called out.
Kaito looks to find the Musou saber and picked it up. He looks at the Evolved Shika Inves and yelled before charging. He slashed the Inves in the back before it dodged the next hit and kicked him right next to Gaim.
"Hey!" Gaim called.
The Inves roared before approaching them.
"Oh no, you don't!" Gaim said before grabbing the sword lever on his Driver before pushing it three times.
"SEIYA!"
"ORANGE SPARKING!"
The orange armor folded up to its original position as Gaim used it to block the Inves's next hit and spun it to not only block the next hit but to get it off guard as it threw him off. He then looked at Kaito as the sphere folded back into armor.
"Hey, I need that lock you bet right now!" Gaim said.
"What?"
"Just hand it over! I won the battle, remember? Besides, other people are going to get hurt if we don't do something! C'mon!" Gaim said while offering his hand. Kaito slapped it and passed him the Musou Saber as he got up on his own.
Kaito then pulled out the Pineapple Lockseed and looked at it before offering it to Gaim. Gaim then took it.
"Thank you." He said before he removed the Orange Lockseed from his Driver.
"LOCK OFF!"
He then opened his new Lockseed.
"PINE!"
He then placed it in the Driver before closing.
"LOCK ON!"
Gaim's Orange Arms disappeared in orange sparkles as another zipper portal opened above Gaim's head but this time with a giant metal pineapple coming out this time.
He then used the sword shaped lever and sliced the lock. The inside top half looked like the inside of a pineapple while the bottom half held a morning star shaped looked like a pineapple.
"SEIYA!"
The Pine Arms then dropped on his head and configured itself to form his new armor.
"PINE ARMS! FUNSAI DESTROY!"
The pineapple lowered down and covered Gaim's head before snapping apart. The front folded together to form a chest plate with black sides and square metal studs which were pointed and thick. The sides folded over his shoulders, becoming long and thick armor which covered his arms down to his wrists. The back section likewise folded down into thick protective studded steel. Gaim's helmet even changed, the helmet section being samurai-style with thick yellow square studs with green decoration near the crown. The visor had also changed color, turning yellow and looking like a pineapple slice. Gripped in his hand was a black handle which was connected to a morning star-like head which was shaped like a pineapple, made from heavy and spiked steel. This was Kamen Rider Gaim Pine Arms.
Kaito looked in surprise at Gaim's new armor as Gaim studied his new weapon.
"So a different for a different Lockseed, huh? This is going to take some getting used to." Gaim mused before the Inves roared again. Gaim turned around and smacked it with his new Pine Iron. The Inves then pushed him to the side but Gaim immediately regained his composure.
"You big lug!" Gaim said before twirling his Pine Iron around and smacking it against the Inves's face, even destroying some of its armor. It soon got stuck to the Inves and dragged Gaim in the air.
"Fine then!" Gaim said before connecting the end of his Musou Saber with the end of the array of the Pine Iron, making it a Kusarigama. As Gaim was in the air, he slashed the Inves in the shoulder. Gaim got his Pine Iron and noticed that the Inves was moving away from him.
"Get back here!" Gaim said as he chased the monster. Team Gaim and Baron were going to the fight scene only to be met with the Evolved Shika Inves. But before it can attack, Gaim launched his Musou Saber at the monster and it became wrapped in its fist. "Don't even think about it!"
He then went for the lever again and pushed it one more time.
"SEIYA!"
"PINE SQUASH!"
Gaim leaped into the air and once he was high enough, he dropped the Pine Iron and kicked it hard, causing a flash of yellow energy as it shot down, actually growing in size. The weapon struck perfectly, actually getting stuck on the Inves' head and forcing it to begin clutching at the weapon to try and free itself. Gaim's body was then pushed by an invisible force, extending his foot into a flying kick which sparked with more yellow power. The Evolved Shika Inves was wide open before Gaim smashed straight into its torso, leaving a perfectly round hole through its body. Gaim skidded across the ground before coming to a stop. The Inves behind him bellow as yellow power collected to make one big pineapple slice before the Inves collapsed and exploded. The Pine Iron likewise went up, throwing energy pineapple slices in all directions.
"Got him!" Gaim said in triumph.
Everyone in Team Gaim looked at him in amazement and Ryotaro was the first to speak up.
"We won…?" He started before gaining a smile on his face. "We did! We won!"
"That was amazing, Kirito!" Ayano said next.
"You were great!" Liz said.
"Oniichan…" Suguha started before she and the rest of Team Gaim met up with him.
"Yosha!" Gaim said before they caught up to him.
"Kirito, man that was awesome!" Ryotaro said before giving him a high five.
"Where'd you learn to do that?" Shino asked next while Team Baron was speechless.
"Kaito!" Zack called.
"What is he…?" Kaito wondered out loud.
Gaim soon looked at a worried Asuna.
"Asuna." He called.
Asuna looked at him with a worried face before changing it into a smile. Gaim then felt eyes on him and looked to see that Kaito was staring at him.
(Throughout the city)
"We've got some unbelievable footage coming in! Right in the middle of throwdown between Teams Gaim and Baron, a Beat Rider in an armored get-up crashed in and stomped the Inves himself!" DJ Sagara said as he broadcasted footage of Gaim destroying the Inves throughout the city.
"Just who is this mysterious Rider? Well he already got himself a name and he sorta looks he's a member of Team Gaim, so he calls himself…Kamen Rider Gaim!
Meanwhile, in a moving limo, a man was holding a Lockseed that had a melon on it with the code 'LS-04' on it. He was wearing a business suit but with no tie, he had light skin, had shaggy hair, and appeared to be somewhere in his late twenties. He was watching the DJ Sagara's broadcast. His name was Minato Asada.
"Kamen Rider? How quaint. But he did help my sister when I wasn't there for her. I'll give him that." Minato mused. "Plus, thanks to him, things are progressing well." Minato said as he was relaxing in the car.
(Omake: Kamen Rider Olympic Battles II)
"Hello! And welcome to the second edition of Kamen Rider Olympic Battles! I'm Kazuto Kirigaya or you can refer to me as…Kamen Rider Gaim!" Kirito introduced as he pulled out his Lockseed before putting it away.
"And I'm known as Kyon or better yet…Kamen Rider Wizard." Kyon said he brought up his Flame Style ring.
"So Kyon, what course are our Riders going through next?" Kirito asked.
"The shootout. It's really simple, any sniper Riders that are ready will have target in front of them. The closer the shot is to the target, the more points you get. They only have three shots so they have to make them count."
"Sounds like an interesting one. So who's first?" Kirito asked as a blue rider approached the shooting zone. "It's Kamen Rider Drake!"
Drake waved to the crowds, especially the ladies. There was soon silence in the crowds as Drake aimed his gun. He fired once and it hits near the bull's-eye. He then aimed again and fired, but this time his shot was farther than the last one.
"Oh looks like he has to make this last shot count!" Kirito commented. Drake then pulled the tp of his gun.
"Rider Shooting!"
"RIDER SHOOTING!"
Energy flowed from his helmet and into his gun. He fired and shot hits a good point in the target.
"Wow! That was a good shot!" Kirito commented.
"Hai, and his shots equal…30 points!" Kyon commented.
Drake soon left the stand and in his place was Kamen Rider Zolda.
"Kamen Rider Zolda! Let's hope he can beat those 30 points!" Kirito commented.
Zolda fired a good shot with his Visor. Then he opened and placed a card in it.
"SHOOT VENT!"
Zolda then got his Giga Launcher, aimed, and fired. It was directly at the bull's-eye.
"He has no doubt beaten Drake's score but what will he do next?" Kirito wondered. Zolda then placed another card in his Visor.
"FINAL VENT!"
Zolda's Mirror Monster appeared and he plugged his Visor in the back of him and opened a wide range of armaments.
"Oh boy…" Kirito started.
"You just had to ask!" Kyon said.
"Everyone on the side that Zolda is facing; run!" Kirito warned and everyone did. Zolda fired, causing massive explosions.
When the smoke cleared, to everyone's surprise, the target was the only thing left standing other than half the stadium missing. Zolda grunted in anger.
"He missed!?"
"That didn't even seem physically possible but his points round up to…50 points."
Zolda then walked away and Ryugen approached the stand last.
"Shino!" Kirito recognized.
"Friend of yours?"
Kirito nodded.
Ryugen took a deep breath before firing. Her shots landed a bullseye. She took another deep breath and landed another bullseye.
"Wow, she's good!" Kyon stated.
"Well, her eyesight is a thing to behold." Kirito said. Ryugen then pushed the sword shaped lever on her Driver.
"HAI!"
"BUDOU SQUASH!"
She then pulled the back of her gun. The grape-like patterns on the Budou Ryuhou glowed as mini-spheres flew off to gather in front of her weapon's barrel. She then took hold of the handle in the back and tugged on it. It was like the gun's hammer.
Taking aim, she pulled the trigger and fired. The sound of a dragon's roar was heard as she unleashed a concentrated barrage of energy shots at the…floor?
It rebounded off the floor, off the ceiling, off the floor, off to the wall. Kirito's and Kyon's head were constantly moving to see where the shots were aiming for. Den-O SF was just walking around, minding his own business until…the shots rebounded off his helmet and back at the target. All of them were a bullseye hit.
"Wow! I guess we have a winner, huh?" Kirito asked.
"Hai, her points rounded off to over a 100."
"Somehow, I'm not surprised. Anyways, stay tuned for more Olympic Battles!" Kirito said.
Ryugen was waving to the crowds until Den-O approached her.
"Hey, were you the asshole that shot me!?"
