The son of the Golden fruit Chapter Four
Author's note: okay so last time Yu and Kouta were challenged to a duel by Kaito who transformed into Kamen rider Baron but ended up having a bike race which opened portals into Helheim which the three rider crossed into Helheim forest and Yu met the Future version of Mai and told her who he was and what he was doing here. Okay so I have something to admit this isn't the first version of this chapter I have written more like the second after accidently deleting it on One Drive. The original Author's note was better too; it even had a PS and everything
Disclaimer: I do not own Kamen rider Gaim that privilege belongs to Toei although I do own any OC's that I have created. Now then on to the fourth chapter of this weird thing.
Helheim Forrest- Yu's point of view
After flying away the woman who would one day become my mother I saw Kouta wondering the forest without wearing his armour, probably looking for my namesake. So set the Lock vehicle down and walked over to Kouta as I closed my lockseed after which my armour dissipated. "Hey Kouta, wait where is Kaito?" Yu asked Kouta.
"Oh Kaito is walking around looking for lockseeds after I told him that the fruits from this place turn into lockseeds." Kouta replied with an answer that made Yu face palm and groan in exasperation.
"Why Kouta? Why did you tell Kaito that of all things? Kouta the man is power hungry!" Yu questioned Kouta. Yu then started to walk off "Come on Kouta I need to show you something." Yu said as Kouta started to follow him the two riders walked amongst the tree and the plants for a while until a sword came from out of almost nowhere and removed their heads. But luckily the two riders ducked and rolled away from the attack. Yu and Kouta looked up to see assailant. Their attacker was a Kamen rider in white with melon themed armour and a musou sabre. "Ah Takatora, good to see you again. Kouta Kazuraba, allow me to introduce you to Takatora Kureshima, Kamen rider Zangetsu AKA Micchy's older brother." Yu said as he introduced Kouta to his best friends' older brother "And Takatora this is the best friend of Mitsuzane."
"How do you know Mitsuzane? And how did you get your Sengoku driver" Takatora all but demanded as he closed his Lockseed which caused his armour to dissipate into energy to which Yu turned away from the two with a smirk on his face.
"To answer your first question we know Mitsuzane because he is a member of the street dancing group, Team Gaim which Kouta is a part of. And to answer your second question about where did I get my Sengoku driver from, the simple answer is I made it along with my green Ringo Lockseed." Yu finished as he turned to face the other riders
"So that is what you meant by Mitsuzane having other dreams then the one I have forced him on." Takatora realised
"yes, to Mitsuzane him being a part of Team gaim is a way for him to be free of the expectations that you have placed upon him." Yu confirmed to Takatora. "I was going to show Kouta the ruins of the people who once lived here. Actually believe it or not some of them still do." Yu admitted.
"You mean that there actually is another way to save humanity?" Takatora asked and Yu was about to answer but Kouta then interrupted.
"What are you talking about and what do you mean about there being another way to save humanity?" Kouta asked the other two riders.
"The world we are on now is what in ten years will happen to our own. If anyone eats a Helheim fruit then they become Inves, they forget everything they once were and become mindless monsters." Takatora told Kouta. "that's why Yggdrasil created the Sengoku drivers so that humanity will survive the Infestation of Helheim."
"However a handful of those that become Inves, if they have a strong enough will can keep their minds. They also have the ability to control not only the lesser Inves but the flora of Helheim itself. These are few are known as by a few in Yggdrasil Takatora excluded as Overlords."
"You said to me and Kaito that you live here, are you one of these Overlords?" Kouta asked Yu who simply chuckled.
"I am an overlord you are correct on that part but I am not one of the overlords from this planet but another far across the universe where nobody knows about it." Yu said telling the other two a half truth because they would probably never believe him otherwise. "But I have kept watch of where that snake has struck. I promise you I will not let that fate happen on earth." Yu finished.
"Thank you! But in light of this revelation I do not think I can trust you fully yet. By the way what do you mean by snake?" Takatora asked
"The snake is the will of the forest itself. He sees himself as a catalyst for evolution but he is not. He is a manipulator in the highest form." Yu replied with a dark look in his eyes thinking about the event that are yet to be unfolded.
"There are several more prototypes of the Sengoku driver to be distributed if I am correct. Oh by the way Takatora your ex girlfriend will acquire one along with the prototype lockseed mine is based off of." Yu told Takatora.
"I've never had a girlfriend." Takatora admitted.
"Really because the name Touka akatsuki comes to mind. She along with several others were experimented on by yours and Mitsuzane's father in order to control helheim forest. Anyway we are getting off topic we have to see who will get those other drivers. And in order to do that we need to make it seem like team gain is on the ropes and in order to that, Kouta would you mind if I broke your ankle?"
"What? Why do you have to break my ankle?" Kouta shouted at Yu who seemed rather relaxed at the situation.
"Because team gaim needs to look like it's on the back rope so you have to be out of action for a few days." Yu told Kouta who was looking at Yu as if he were mad. "But before that I need to give you two something." Yu said as he walked over to a vine which had a few Helheim fruits growing on it. Yu then took two of the fruits which then transformed into devices resembling iPhones. "This is how I was able to contact you yesterday Takatora. They are called Lock-phones any call made by them is completely untraceable by any conventional means." Yu finished.
"These are impressive I admit. I don't think Ryoma will be too happy that you created a new form of lockseed without any of his input." Takatora admitted.
"These are but a small example of the powers of an overlord but anyway back to business Kouta do you mind lying down as I break your ankle." Yu said once again rather nonchalantly.
"Eh! You are not breaking my ankle under no circumstance." Kouta said with finality in his tone which made Yu and Takatora look towards each other and walk towards Kouta.
(Scene Break)
It was night in Zawame City a rainy night at that and walking along the streets was Kouta being held by Yu. Kouta was still when not moaning in pain grumbling at his broken ankle. "Oh stop moaning. Are you sure we are going the right way because I've never been this way before." Yu asked Kouta. Who replied with
"Not far now it's the first building on the right." Kouta told Yu and the two carried on through the dark rainy night and a few minutes of walking and then a trip in the building's elevator the two arrived at the apartment where Kouta and his older sister lived. And when Yu knocked on the door the person who opened it was not who they were expecting "Mai what are you doing here?" Kouta asked Mai who ignored the question because she saw how Kouta was being supported.
"Kouta what happened to your leg?" Mai asked the two fruit riders but it was Yu who answered
"We were in that strange Forrest running from inves and Kouta here tripped over a root and now has a most-likely broken ankle. Do you mind if we come in because it's bloody freezing and we are soaked to the bone?" Yu asked Mai who let them pass and into the apartment.
Yu and Mai had just set Kouta down on to the living room sofa when Kouta's older sister Akira came over carrying a first aid kit "what happened Kouta? What did you do?" Akira asked
"He tripped!" Yu responded even though the question wasn't directed towards him.
"You need to be more careful, Kouta" Akira told Kouta as she wrapped his ankle in a bandage.
"In my defence it was dark, raining and I was running." Kouta defended as Akira finished tying his leg up.
"Why were you running?"Akira asked Kouta.
"It was late and I wanted to get out of the rain. Can you blame us for wanting to remain dry?" Kouta replied as Yu looked at Mai with a look in his eyes as if to say don't tell anyone about the forest
"You are right that it is getting late, I have work tomorrow so I should go." Yu said standing up to leave.
"Are you sure you want to go out in this weather and at this time of night?" Mai asked Yu who simply just shrugged.
What's life without a little risk? besides I can handle myself remember." Yu replied holding up his lockseed.
(SCENE BREAK)
In his office in the Kureshima Mansion Takatora was thinking over what Yu had said to him. "Should I believe what Guardian said to me and Kazuraba about these overlords and Mitsuzane's other hobbies. Whatever path he takes, I only want the best for him and I will support him in any choice he makes." Takatora thought to himself. Takatora then stood up from his desk chair and walked out of the office, he walked up the mansion's stairs towards Mitsuzane's room.
When he arrived at Mitsuzane's door he knocked on it twice before entering the room. "Big brother, what do you want?" Mitsuzane asked as he saw Takatora walk into his room.
"I just wanted to talk Mitsuzane or do you prefer Mitchy?" Takatora asked his younger brother.
"How do you know?" Mitchy asked Takatora with a look of desperate fear in his eyes.
"I met two of your friends today from team gaim, Kazuraba Kouta and Kamen rider Guardian. I'm not disappointed that you joined a street dancing team behind my back. I'm disappointed you didn't tell me, so I will make you a deal you keep getting good grades and you get to keep dancing. Do we have an agreement?" Takatora asked Mitchy as he silently nodded. Seeing his younger brother nod he turned to leave "I only want the best for you Mitsuzane, even if it does not seem like it. Any choice you make I will support it. Oh by the way you're the one who will be telling father." Takatora finished as walked out of the room with a small smirk on his face.
(SCENE BREAK- the next day)
"Thanks for coming with me to check on Kouta, Mitchy." Yu said to Mitsuzane as they walked to the apartment where Kouta and his older sister lived.
"It's no trouble at all. Though I have to ask why you told my big brother about me being a part of Team Gaim." Mitchy asked Yu who simply shrugged
"I can't stand secrets and I reckon that soon that pressure you were feeling about being in your brother shadow is gonna be the downfall of both of you. I feel the same but about my dad, I wonder about if I will ever be as good as a man and as great as a man as he was." Yu replied to Mitchy to look at him in shock.
"I hope you don't mind me asking this but how good of a man was your father?" Mitchy delicately asked.
"My father was probably one of the best men in the entire cosmos, which is saying something considering I know of a lot of great men he was kind compassionate and would defend any who could not do so themselves." Yu finished as he quickened his pace and shook his head clearing away the nostalgia. He had a job to do and he was going to do it.
Twenty minutes later the two came up to the Kazuraba residence. So they walked up the floor where the Kazuraba's apartment was and knocked on the door with Kouta's older sister answering the door. "Oh hi you two are you here to check on Kouta?" Akira asked the two friends of her younger brother.
"Yes. How is he?" Yu asked Akira
"They are both still asleep." Akira replied who then let the two through the door of the apartment.
"What at two o'clock in the afternoon? Wait, did you say they?" Mitchy asked Akira with wide eyes and then he looked to Yu who seemed as shocked as Mitchy was. When the two opened the door to Kouta's room slightly and peeked inside they promptly covered their eyes.
What made them do so was Kouta holding Mai in his arms, both fast asleep and thankfully fully clothed. "Well when I left last night I was not expecting this. Does your phone have a camera on it?" Yu asked Mitchy quietly who nodded. "Good because I'm thinking blackmail." Yu said with a smirk.
(SCENE BREAK)
After waking Kouta and Mai up The four started to discuss what would happen now that Kouta was out of action temporarily that is. "Mitchy will have to get his own Sengoku driver." Yu said and upon seeing the others looks he clarified "I'm not a member of team Gaim, I am meant to be a referee besides if anything I am an unofficial advertisement for Charmant. And yes I am aware that I still need to get those cakes and autographs for the team but it has never come up. Anyway I've got some house work that I need to take care of. I will be seeing you later." And with that Yu stood up and left
(SCENE BREAK)
In the depths of Yggdrasil tower in it's laboratories Ryoma sengoku was pondering the mystery of who Guardian was and what his intentions were. "So then who are you and where did you get your sengoku driver?" Ryoma asked himself out loud but he was answered.
"The only name you need to know is guardian and my intentions is that this world is not lost to Helheim. As for my sengoku driver I created it." Yu answered standing in his Armoured rider form behind Ryoma leaning against a pillar.
"Why are you here?" Ryoma asked guardian getting ready to defend himself if necessary.
"I heard you wanted to talk with me. Is that so wrong?" Guardian asked still leaning on the pillar.
"Well considering when you first announced yourself to us you did threaten me. But I have to ask, are you after the golden fruit and if so do you know where it is?" Ryoma asked guardian who merely scoffed
"Oh I know where it is but why should I tell you and why would I be after it? I am the son of the golden fruit!"(Author's note: we have our title ladies and gentlemen.) Yu said confidently. Seeing Ryouma's confusion Yu clarified "I am from another world and on that world my parents are the ones who wield that golden fruit. Now goodbye!" Before Ryouma could stop him Yu opened a crack and dived through it and as soon as Yu was through the crack closed behind him preventing him from being followed.
(SCENE BREAK)
After dealing with that Yu headed over to team Gaim's stage where he saw Mitchy transform for the first time into Kamen rider Ryugen and take down a high class Inves that was being controlled by the leader of team Invitto, Hideyasu Jonoichi but because Mitchy was using grape arms which comes with gun he was able to shoot down the flying Inves. And Mitchy won the lockseed as a prize.
Author's note: sorry this took so long but a variety of things have been going on like a weeks trip to Greece and me giving into temptation to watch the gaim series in full again because the subbed version of the crossover movie with drive and the first gaim gaiden movies subs have come out so yeah.
I would like to mention that although I had to rewrite this chapter I had only gotten up to when Yu and Kouta had met up with Takatora so. I do honestly have big plans for this though because I want to get through all the episodes and movies related to gaim. I really do so I hope that you have enjoyed this chapter and will share and review. So see you on the next chapter of this weird thing.
PS: how cow is this chapter really this long this is the longest chapter I've ever done on anything.
