Knight of Spear

"Helloo all you Beat Riders out there,it's time to recap some major highlights of the past month. First is the newest top ranking Beat Rider team that's holding their place for the past few weeks! Not Baron who is sitting in fifth,IT'S TEAM DIGI-GAIM! With their amazing dance skills shown by their leader Kari Kamiya and second in command Takeru Takaishi and the fan favorite butt kicker: Gaim! Gaim has been fighting challengers as they come in droves and leave in even bigger packs. Are you tough and strong enough to take on Digi-Gaim?"


"K-Kouta?"Izzy stuttered waking up with 3 finished Sengoku Drivers in front of him and a sleeping Kouta rolling and bumping across the room on his chair.

"GOOD MORNING!"Kari opened the door and hit the rolling Kouta sending the Rider off the chair and on to the top of the trash can.

"Damn that hurt. And what's so good about it?"

"Aw. Mr. Grumpy Gaim is grouchy this morning."

"We've been up all weekend working on these goddamn drivers. Speaking of which shouldn't you be heading to school?"

"Kouta you're a few months older than me,shouldn't you be going too?"

"Gee I would but I have a condition."

"What condition?"

"A condition where school makes me drowsy, distracted, and it makes me have constant heart problems. What does that tell you?"

"That you're a slacker and you get a crush so easily?"

"Exactly...just not in those words."

"Well I have to go I just came to say Hi."Kari left the room and when she did Kouta was embarrassed.

"Well the Crush part is right."

"No...my butt is stuck in the trash."


"Kari you seem distracted,are you alright?"T.K noticed Kari in a sort of trance and snapped her out of it.

"Sorry I was thinking about-"

"Kouta? The Digimon?"

"Yes."

"To what?"

"Yes."


"ACHOO!"Kouta sneezed while he was working on a new Sengoku Driver surprising Izzy making the genius shock himself by accident."Who's talking about me?"


"Here you go Davis."Kouta handed Davis a Sengoku Driver who gladly accepted it.

"No problems?"

"Nope. That's the perfect Sengoku Driver right there."

"Yes! Whoo!"

"Just be careful!"


"Nothing like laying down in this peace."Kouta laid down in the park with T.K, Kari, and Tai looking up at the sky.

"Yep. And these Team jackets are pretty cool and comfy."Tai took off his jacket and used it like a pillow.

"D.J Sagara is really advertising us isn't he."Kari looked at people walking by watching D.J Sagara's webcast.

"Baron's been doing nothing but challenge us. Raid Wild and Invitto tried to and lost."T.K remembered all their recent challenges making Kouta smile.

"Yeah,we're pretty tough."

"Especially you."

"Hey Kouta do you have a sibling?"

"Yeah an Older Sister."

"She hot?"Kouta and Kari hit T.K and Tai.

"Hey."

"What?"

"Do you love your sister?"

"Of course I do,she takes care of me like Tai takes care of you."

"Is she nice?"

"Yeah."Tai's phone went off interrupting their conversation.

"Oh hey it's from Mimi."

"Who?"

"Oh yeah, Kouta hasn't met Mimi."

"She says she's flying in to visit next week. She wants to meet that adorable guy Gai-she wants to meet you Kouta."

"Is she cute?"

"Is someone boiling water?"T.K wondered hearing what sounded like a tea pot whistling. But it turned out to be a jealous Kari.


"You made a Lock Vehicle?"Kouta and Kari were looking at a pink and white motorcycle Izzy was working on.

"Yep. Meet the Sakura Hurricane."Izzy's name for the new Lock Vehicle made Kari and Kouta stifle a laugh."And the Rose Attacker."He revealed a black and red motorcycle with a rose above the wheel.

"What's next? The Sunflower Storm? The Tulip Hopper? The Orchid Defender?"

"Hey Mimi gave me some ideas for these. And Tulip Hopper sounds cool."

"We have different definitions of cool."

"Just try it. Davis is coming to get the Rose Attacker and we're going to test his transformation when his soccer game ends."


"Go Davis!"Kouta sat with the Digidestined as they watched Davis' final game of the season.

"Ooh!"Cody and T.K looked away as Davis was tripped to steal the ball from him.

"There you go!"Tai and Matt cheered as Davis got back up and took the ball back with help from Ken.


"What's this?"Kaito entered the locker room and saw Davis' Sengoku Driver and Lock Vehicle showing in his gym bag."He won't notice these are gone."


"YEAH!"The group cheered as Davis made the winning goal.


"Gaim! Gaim!"The crowd was cheering as Davis,T.K,Kouta,and Kari were dancing on a stage they won from Team Baron.

"Are you done showing those crappy dance moves?"Kaito walked up to the dance team smiling evilly.

"What do you want Kaito?"

"Nothing much,another rematch."

"Kaito don't you get tired of losing."

"No trash talk Davis."

"I won't lose this time."Kaito pulled out the Sengoku Driver he stole from Davis.

SENGOKU DRIVER!

"A Sengoku Driver?"

"Henshin."Kaito pulled out a Banana Lockseed and put it on the Sengoku Driver making a red and silver knight appear on the side of the Driver.

BANANA!

LOCK ON!

"What the? Davis you were the only other person than me to have a Sengoku Driver, how did Kait-where's yours?"

"It disappeared."

"Where was the last place you left it?"

"My Gym Bag at the Soccer Game."

"The Soccer Ga-Davis he could have stolen it there,that's your driver."

COME ON!

"Kouta?"Kari looked at her teammate who looked at the transforming Kaito.

BANANA ARMS!

"A banana?"Most of the crowd asked as a bulky silver and yellow banana went down from a crack above Kaito and gave him knight like armor with bulky shoulder pads and a spear resembling a peeled banana as he became a red and silver knight with golden horns on the side of his helmet.

"Time to introduce Armored Rider Baron."

KNIGHT OF SPEAR!

"Are you going to fight or not?"Baron asked jumping up and began walking towards Kari.

PINE ARMS! FUNSAI DESTROY!

"Huh?"Baron was then whacked on the side of his head by the Pine Arms and a furious Gaim in his Pine Arms standing protectively in front of Kari.

"Stay...away...from...Kari."Gaim pulled out his Musou Sabre and charged at Baron who grabbed his Banaspear and countered Gaim's attack.

"Well a protective teammate and close friend means...your weakness is your crush on your boss."Baron then began to strike Gaim repeatedly making the Rider begin to fall.

"What? I have no idea what you're-AH!"Gaim was hit one more time by Baron making the rider go back to in front of the stage.

BANANA SQUASH!

"Kouta!"Kari yelled as Baron kicked Gaim and reverted the rider back to a bleeding Kouta and the Pine Lockseed flew into his hand.

"Weak fool."


"It seems Digi-Gaim may be in danger of losing their first place spot as Armored Rider Gaim was beaten to a pulp by Baron's leader becoming an Armored Rider."The Beat Rider and Digidestined watched D.J Sagara's webcast showing Gaim attacked by Baron and Kouta on the floor hurt.

"Kari is really worried about Kouta,should we check up on them?"Sora asked as in the other room Kari was sitting worried next to a sleeping and bandaged Kouta.


"It's my fault this happened."Davis and T.K entered the room to see Kouta still sleeping and a worried Kari sleeping in a seat next to him holding his hand.

"Davis it's not,you didn't know Kaito would steal that driver."

"Hey guys."Kari woke up and looked at Kouta's body.

"Hey Kari. Is he alright."

"Yeah..."Her voice cracked as she held the boy's hand.

"What happened?"

"Kouta...he...he says he's giving up being an Armored Rider."

"What?"

"He says what happened with Kaito showed that there are stronger people than him out there...and if he fights Kaito again,he might die."T.K hugged Kari as she explained what happened with Kouta.

'Davis blames himself...Kouta's giving up...you're going down Kaito before you get to Kari and Tai.'T.K thought as he saw a Sengoku Driver and Grape Lockseed on a table.


"Wasn't I clear when I pummeled your friend?"Kaito walked up to the Beat Rider team with Matt and Sora with them interrupting their dance again."Guess I have to make an even clearer lesson with you Takaishi."

"Fine by me."T.K took out the Sengoku Driver and Grape Lockseed.

"T.K?"

"What are you doing?"Matt was as shocked as Kari as T.K put on his Sengoku driver at the same time as Kaito did.

SENGOKU DRIVER!

BANANA!

BUDOU!

'Kouta...you've fought for the cause you promised for and to protect Kari. It's time I protect her and the others like you have.'T.K thought as he put the Grape Lockseed on the Driver looking at Matt and Kari.

LOCK ON!

"Henshin."

'Time to prove I'm not just some backup dancer. Time to think big!'T.K grabbed the blade of the Sengoku Driver."HENSHIN!"

COME ON!

HAI!

BANANA ARMS! KNIGHT OF SPEAR!

BUDOU ARMS! RYU-HOU,HA,HA,HA!

"T.K be careful."Matt gulped as square shaped Grapes appeared above T.K and went on his head giving turning him into a green Chinese soldier with gold accents and the grapes turning into armor giving him purple fire around his helmet and a gun with the stem as a hammer and grapes on the side and on the barrel.

"Impressive Takaishi. But a gun is such a weak weapon."Baron laughed before a purple energy bullet barely missed his head.

"Its not Takaishi...I'm Armored Rider Ryugen!"


"T.K.."Kouta gulped seeing T.K's transformation live on the computer.

Next time:

"Going down this path won't fix anything T.K."Kouta said to T.K in front of water fountain.

"It doesn't need to. Its just to save my friends in the Digital World."T.K and Kouta stood in Digi-Helheim looking at everything.

"Its time to reveal your destiny."A blonde version of Kari with blue and orange eyes wearing a white cloak said showing Kouta the final battle against Baron.
