TB: Okay, here we are, the final chapter for Christmas.
KKD: And boy am I looking forward to this. Needless to say… we'll see someone we saw in the past in a new light… that's all I'll say on that, because if I say anything else, I'd be spoiling.
TB: This may look like a non-Christmas episode, but it does take place on Christmas so it counts. Kamen Rider does episodes that take place on Christmas a lot.
KKD: It'll be really enjoyable, and it can help give some development for two other characters.
TB: It'll focus on Gekka and Haruka, which hasn't been done in a while.
KKD: That's for sure. It'll be a good breather, I'm sure.
TB: Let's not waste anymore time. Fire disclaimers on the new ship!
*The lights shone on the new ship before the cannons fired*
DISCLAIMERS: Neither TokuBrony nor KKD Silver own Kamen Rider or anything else in this story except for original concepts and characters within. Kamen Rider is owned by Toei, Namco Bandai, and it's respective owners.
At the Marine HQ, Gekka was sitting at his desk, looking at some reports while Haruka was in the middle of sharpening her sword, Sentou.
"Sir, ma'am, the admiral would like to see you," one soldier reported, saluting the two as they saluted back and walked out.
They were soon greeted by Kizuki who had them sit nearby and salute each other.
"You wanted to see us for something, sir?" Haruka asked.
"Yes… do you two know what day it is?" Kizuki inquired.
"It's… December 24th, sir," Gekka confirmed.
"Exactly, Senjou. Christmas Eve. I figured that both of your hard work is deserving of the holiday off."
"Eh?!" Gekka and Haruka both gawked.
"You heard me, I'm a generous man, I'm willing to allow my troops time off. I may be strict in my policies, but everyone deserves some leeway from their duties. Now go and celebrate Christmas together," Kizuki told them, almost as if it was an order.
"O-Of course," Haruka nodded.
"Yes, sir," Gekka replied as he and Haruka saluted.
"I'll be celebrating with my family for the holidays as well," Kizuki added, "So, with all that said… Dismissed."
Gekka and Haruka nodded before leaving the office.
The two marines then walked out of their base near the beach, Gekka sighing a bit as he was enjoying the sunrise on Christmas Eve while Haruka held his hand.
"Hm?" he muttered, noticing this and looking at Haruka.
"Oh, sono… I thought it would be nice if we… held hands on a walk like this…" Haruka stuttered.
"...Why not."
Haruka hid her blush in response, smiling as the two walked down the beach together before she suddenly tripped and fell on the sand.
"...Daijoubu ka?" Gekka asked.
"Daijoubu desu. I… tripped on something," Haruka nodded with a wince, Gekka looking behind her to see it was something the size of a large oval shaped sphere wrapped in seaweed, which Gekka removed to see what it was.
"It's… an egg?"
"Eh? An egg?"
"Fushigi da na (How strange)..." Gekka noted as both he and Haruka picked it up and took it somewhere safe.
(Insert Theme: This Life by CFO$)
*As the instrumental begins a galleon, is seen sailing across the ocean with Kamen Rider Buccaneer standing atop near his Jolly Roger flag as the title appeared.*
Kamen Rider Buccaneer
Gotta keep my head up, never get that low
*Yoshida then jumped through the title, shattering it like glass as the camera panned over to him as Buccaneer fighting Gyojin*
Cause I'm living this life, now it's all I know
*He managed to slice through all of the Puffers*
Like oh~
It's the life I chose (This life, this life)
*He then looked to see police arriving on the scene, aiming at him*
So I keep a step up everywhere I go
*Buccaneer then ran away, avoiding every shot the police threw at him*
Now they screaming my name after every show
*A rope was lowered to him, which he grabbed and used to swing up and onto the deck of his vessel*
Like oh~
It's the life I chose (This life, this life)
One life, one choice, gotta do it right
*We see Yoshi walking into his cabin before waving to the camera with his alter ego, Buccaneer, in the background*
One chance of proving to the world that you was right
*Satoshi was currently examining a map with a compass before looking up to wave at the camera*
Like a match waiting for a spark to ignite
*We then see Robin tinker with some little trinket she had before realizing that the camera was on her, causing her to be like 'Oh' before smiling*
Sitting and mimicking, thinking if you'll make it through the night
*At the same time, Jack was examining the weapons aboard the ship, making sure they were in top condition before looking at the camera and giving a little salute*
And rise up like a phoenix, flying through the night
*Now we see Ai in the kitchen of the ship, cooking up some noodles for everyone onboard the ship before jumping a bit when noticing the camera. Mitsuru went over to calm her down before they both waved*
I shine once like a shooting star losing sight
*Now we see Hariko and Mizuki nodding at the camera before their Gyojin forms reflected in the mirror*
You see, man, the difference between you and I
*We then see the police arguing over something as one sets up his wanted poster before we cut to a marine headquarters, with Haruka standing at attention and Gekka walking past her, his reflection showing Kamen Rider Corsair. It is then followed by Kizuki saluting with his reflection showing Kamen Rider Privateer*
Is Imma keep doing what I do, cause it's do or die
*We then cut to a shot of the Gyojin no Kaizoku, starting with Kuroken before it shows his generals as well*
Ain't got no time for that not getting big game
*The generals began to pose to look intimidating before we cut back to the galleon*
Got one life, living mine in the quick lane
*The crew stood on the galleon as they saw the Gyojin initiate a battle onshore*
I'm too hungry not to get that win, but I just gotta remember one thing
*Yoshi took a step forward before taking out a Kaizoku Key and putting it on his driver*
Gotta keep my head my head up, never get that low
*With that, he transformed into Buccaneer as he jumped into battle swinging his sword around attacking all of the Puffers*
Cause I'm living this life, now it's all I know
*The clip then shows him in his Kaen Form shooting his flames around and at the screen, then cuts to another of him in his Mizu Form twirling the Mizu Whip, and then a clip of him in his Dengeki Form using his Dengeki Escrima shocking everyone, and one more clip of him in his Geo Form using his Geo Hammer to pound the ground*
Like oh~
It's the life I chose (This life, this life)
*It then showed Corsair fighting with his jutte against Puffers and Privateer causing an earthquake around him, making the Puffers fall upwards*
So I keep a step up everywhere I go
*When the cops arrived, they found Yoshi was gone, leaving behind only his sygnia, which was a skull and crossbones with a pirate hat atop its skull*
Now they screaming my name after every show
*They then look up on a rooftop to see Yoshi with a smirk and holding his wanted poster*
Like oh~
It's the life I chose (This life, this life)
*As the theme ended, he let the wanted poster get picked up by the wind before it hit the camera, the titles for the show coming back on as everything else faded around it.*
Sail 25: The Birth of Happiness
Over in the cabin of the S.S. Anne Bonnie, Ai was with her sister Mitsuru making some food for Christmas.
"Hey, Ai-chan, check out this tattoo I got with the Mirai Key," Yoshi chuckled before he lifted his jacket up to show the image of green 0s and 1s etched into his lower back.
"It looks kinda cute," Ai admitted, placing her hand on his lower back and feeling it, "Yeah, that feels permanent."
"Your hand is close to his butt," Mitsuru pointed out, Ai's face turning completely red before she tripped back, almost falling before Yoshi caught her.
"Otto… be careful there," Yoshi smiled, Ai blushing as he helped her back up, "Wanna go Christmas shopping with me?"
"S-Sure…" Ai nodded.
"Have fun, you two," Mitsuru waved as Yoshi grabbed the wheel.
Back with Gekka and Haruka, they were in the former's home looking over the egg, Haruka making sure to keep it warm with a towel and heat lamp.
"Why would an egg wash up on a beach?" Gekka pondered with his fingers to his chin.
"I'm not sure, Senjou. It feels like whatever's in this egg is close to hatching," Haruka noted as the egg started twitching a bit, Gekka soon noticing this and seeing it start to crack.
"Speaking of…"
The egg soon opened up to reveal what appeared to be a baby anthro dolphin with small arms and legs, big blue eyes like an anime character, and a dolphin tail that was protruding above its legs.
"Umaremashita (It's born)," Haruka gawked, "It… It's actually kind of cute."
Gekka looked at the baby dolphin and examined its features.
"It's… a Gyojin," he realized, a bit concerned, "And a baby Gyojin, no less."
The dolphin then felt something before it began to cry out, the screeches ringing out making sonic waves spread out throughout the area, making the two marines cover their ears in pain from the piercing screeching.
"Yamero! Naku na (Stop crying)!" Gekka snapped, grabbing the baby and trying to close its mouth.
That somehow worked as the baby panted when Gekka looked at it again.
"What's with this Gyojin?"
"Gekka-senjou, daijoubu desu ka?" Haruka asked in concern.
"Yeah… I don't think it meant to attack. It just cried after it was born."
"All babies do, sir," Haruka pointed out before getting closer to the baby, "Hi there, little one. I'm Shiobana Haruka. And this is Shimaoka Gekka."
"G… Gek… ka! Gekka!" the baby muttered as it crawled out of the egg shell.
"It can talk?" Gekka gawked, "Haruka, find something to record this."
"Yes, sir," Haruka nodded as she was about to look for a recorder, but the baby started crying again, sending out sonic waves so ear piercingly loud that it could shatter glass.
"Yamero! Stop crying! Come on… stop crying!"
As Gekka covered his mouth again, this did get him to stop and calm down as he looked up to Gekka and Haruka, mumbling something unintelligible only because Gekka had his mouth covered.
"What are we going to do?" Haruka asked Gekka.
"I don't know," Gekka responded as he let go of the baby's mouth, letting it breathe.
Back with Yoshi and Ai, they were out looking for Christmas items to shop for.
"The decorations look beautiful, don't they?" Ai smiled as they browsed the area.
"Sure do, Ai-chan," Yoshi smiled back before they heard some noise.
They turned to see Puffers coming up onto shore of a beach and looking for something.
"What are they doing?" Ai wondered as she spied on the Puffers with Yoshi, seeing the grunts rummage through the seaweed and sand.
"I don't know, but they aren't hurting people yet," Yoshi noted, "What are they looking for?"
Ai shrugged in response as the Puffers moved deeper into the water to keep looking. This allowed the two pirates to go onto the beach to investigate.
"Well, they're gone for now. But why would they even be here?" Yoshi pondered.
"Yoshi-san, look," Ai responded, pointing to a patch of seaweed with a hole in the sand, "There's an oval shape here."
The two walked over as Yoshi examined the seaweed, moving it aside to see the oval shape in the sand.
"Looks like an egg, almost…" Ai noted as Yoshi looked at it.
"Probably washed up on this beach and those doofuses didn't look hard enough," Yoshi figured before spotting footprints near the hole and walking away from it, "Somebody picked it up, and it wasn't the Gyojin."
"You think a couple other humans picked it up?"
"It's most likely, yea. Plus, look where they lead… away from the beach."
"Maybe a couple scientists got a hold of it and are now studying it," Ai guessed with a shrug as they both stood up, "I think we should continue shopping now."
"Right," Yoshi nodded as he and Ai walked out of the beach.
Back with Gekka and Haruka, they were carrying the baby dolphin in a big box with a blanket while walking around town.
"Gekka, Gekka…" the Gyojin baby giggled as he poked his head out the box.
"Shh. I don't want anyone hearing you," Gekka shushed.
"I think he likes you, Senjou," Haruka smiled as the captain sighed.
"I'm a marine, this is a Gyojin. We can't be seen with it. I'm sorry, but I'm not your parent."
"Gekka. Gekka," the baby dolphin repeated with his smile.
"Don't tell me you're going to abandon this poor child. It's Christmas," Haruka responded, Gekka walking off towards a bench.
"Sure this Gyojin is a baby and hasn't done anything wrong, but that doesn't mean it won't do anything evil when it grows up," Gekka pointed out, placing the box on the bench for a moment.
"If I may be so bold… how can you even think like that? I mean… look at his face. Does that look like an evil face to you?"
"...I'm not even dignifying that with an answer," Gekka sighed while rubbing the bridge of his nose, "Regardless, what am I supposed to do with this thing? Killing it is out of the question because I'm not a sick man. Getting rid of it is just too easy, as someone else is bound to find him."
Gekka was pondering his options before the baby suddenly started crying again, the sonic sounds piercing their ear drums again and even shattering street lights and shopping windows.
"Ya-Yamero! Stop crying!" Gekka shouted.
"Yelling won't work, Senjou!" Haruka responded to Gekka while covering her ears, "You have to find some way to comfort him or make him laugh!"
"Ore datto?"
The baby kept crying, the sonic waves even reaching to buildings and making the windows crack.
"*sigh* Ko-Kochi mirou, Chibi-kun (Lo-Look over here, little one)," Gekka responded, trying a more comforting tone, the baby's sonic crying stopping, but the regular crying itself still going, "Um… *puts hands over eyes* where am I? Oh, here I am. Eto… um, how about this face? *puts hands over face again* Umm."
The dolphin looks at the face he's making, finally having stopped crying before smiling at Gekka's attempts to make him smile, and soon started to giggle and laugh.
"Oh, that was funny? So-So ka… it's funny, right?" Gekka smiled, patting the baby over his head.
"Shishishishi, I've never seen you make that face before, Senjou. Shishishi," Haruka giggled a bit, trying to hold back her laughter.
Gekka couldn't help but chuckle along with Haruka, but the baby dolphin started to whimper a bit, getting Gekka's attention.
"Ch-Chotto matte, matte! Could it be… that you're hungry?" Gekka asked.
Later, they were both sitting on a bench with the newly named Chibi sitting right next to them and a bag of different foods. Gekka pulled out a container of milk as his first instinct was that babies drank milk, but the baby shook his head at that.
"How about this?" Gekka asked, showing a cookie to Chibi, who shook his head at that too.
"This?" Haruka offered, showing him a rice ball, but the young dolphin violently shook his head in response and started whimpering, "Hold on, hold on. Don't cry, I'll find something… how about this?"
Chibi soon opened his eyes to see Haruka offering him a bottle of apple juice. The young dolphin took a sniff and smiled before grabbing the bottle and, after struggling to open it, began to drink from it with a smile.
"Yosh yosh," Gekka smiled, happy that the dolphin found something he liked.
"So, we are going to take care of him until we find a perfect home for him?" Haruka asked Gekka, who looked up and sighed for a moment.
"Why not…"
The two smiled before hearing footsteps, turning to see Yoshi and Ai walking with bags of groceries and decorations.
"Yoshida's coming. Hide the baby," Gekka whispered as Haruka took Chibi into a blanket and wrapped him up.
"Hey, Gekka. Merry Christmas," Yoshi greeted as he and Ai stepped up to them, "So what's up? The old man got you on break so you're going on a date?"
"What? N-No, we're just accomplices," Gekka insisted, trying to help Haruka hide the baby.
"Yes… we were just taking the day off like Taijou said," Haruka nodded, placing an apple in the blanket.
"What's that you got under the blanket?" Ai asked, noticing the bundle, Haruka sweating in nervousness while gripping the blanket.
"Are you two practicing the Nativity Story?" Yoshi guessed, the two marines looking at each other in nervousness.
"Uh… y-yea… for charity…" Gekka nodded, Chibi starting to move out of the blanket and poking his head out.
The little dolphin smiled before leaping out of the blanket, landing in the bag of fruit and eating a bunch of apples and strawberries in it.
"What the hell is that thing!?" Yoshi gawked as he and Ai saw Chibi gorging himself on the fruit.
"We can explain…" Haruka started.
Over on the shore, Takarakuji and Toradeki walked up and took note of the imprints in the sand that remained.
"What happened? Where is it?" Takarakuji pondered as he looked at the oval shaped imprint while Toradeki took a sip of his sake.
"I knew I shouldn't have let go of that egg," Toradeki mumbled in his usual slurred tone, "I was gonna raise it, but the egg slipped from my grasp in the current."
"You always have such a loose grip, you drunken fool. Well, we'll have to find the spawn before anyone else learns of its existence."
With that, the two generals walked out into the street.
"And that's the story?" Yoshi asked as Haruka and Gekka finished explaining.
"Pretty much, yes," Gekka nodded as Chibi ate more berries.
"It's very cute," Ai smiled as she looked at the dolphin's cute face.
"Deshou (Isn't it)? We're going to take care of him until we find a nice place for him where the Gyojin can't get him," Haruka replied, patting Chibi on the head as he giggled a bit.
"I'm still a little iffy about this whole thing…" Gekka admitted, "We don't know if taking care of this Gyojin baby is a good thing or not?"
"He does not know the difference between right and wrong, but you two can teach him," Yoshi pointed out, giving Gekka and Haruka some advice, "You know, this baby seems… kinda familiar."
"Uh… wh-what makes you say that?"
"Like we've… seen him before."
"Hmm… I think we may have seen him when we went to the future previously," Ai noted as Yoshi nudged her.
"Remember, that timeline doesn't exist anymore," Yoshi whispered to her, "If this is him, then this is him in the here and now."
"Oh right."
"So, Gekka, Harushi-chan…what's his name?" Yoshi asked.
"I just called him Chibi-kun because he's a baby and he has a very bright and expressive face," Gekka admitted as he fed him some more berries.
"Aw… come here, Chibi-kun," Ai smiled, Chibi giggling as he jumped right into her arms, making both laugh and giggle, Chibi cooing in her arms, "Aw~! Kawaii~!"
"Who's a cute little dolphin? You are," Yoshi babbled to Chibi, who giggled in response.
"We'll be taking him back now," Haruka replied, picking up Chibi as he got calm and laid on Haruka's chest like a pillow.
"Hey, you guys wanna come down to the ship? We're having a Christmas party," Yoshi offered as Gekka and Haruka pondered for a moment.
"...I still refuse to step into your ship," Gekka insisted.
"Come on, you guys are helping us. The party wouldn't be the same without you."
"I'll come," Haruka smiled as Gekka looked at her with surprise.
"Haruka? I know you were on their ship once, but that was when you were blinded," Gekka pointed out.
"It'd be rude to turn them down. They're offering us to a party, we should take them up on that offer."
"But… once I make a vow, I stick to it. And I refuse to step foot in their ship," Gekka insisted.
"Every party needs a pooper, that's why we invited you. Party pooper~. Party pooper~," Yoshi teased and sang.
"I'm still coming to their party. You can take care of little Chibi-kun if you want," Haruka replied as he handed over Chibi to Gekka, leaving Gekka shocked.
"But… we're marines…" Gekka reminded as Haruka adjusted her jacket.
"It doesn't matter our positions, Senjou. It's Christmas time. And I truly believe in celebrating it with other colleagues."
"Awesome, come on. You're gonna love it," Yoshi smiled as they all walked away, leaving Gekka by himself with Chibi.
"...I guess it's just you and me, huh?" Gekka sighed with a shrug, looking at Chibi.
"Gekka~," Chibi smiled as he hugged Gekka.
"So this is what the cabin of your ship looks like? Impressive," Haruka smiled as she stepped inside the vessel, Yoshi smiling all the way.
"Look who's joining us for the party," he chuckled as they turned to see Haruka inside the ship.
"...You brought a marine into the ship…" Jack gawked as a sweat drop appeared in the back of his head, "Sometimes, I'm afraid of the way you think…"
"Oh, relax, Jack. She's cool, remember? I invited her to our Christmas party."
Jack sighed as Mitsuru, Satoshi and Robin looked at Haruka.
"It's… good to see you on our side, Haruka-san. Merry Christmas," Mitsuru smiled.
"Merry Christmas," Haruka beamed, shaking Mitsuru's hand.
"...Gekka-san couldn't come?" Robin asked.
"He was insistent on not coming in the ship. Right now he's taking care of a baby Gyojin we found."
"A baby Gyojin?" Hariko blinked, a bit surprised.
"It's rare when you hear of a baby Gyojin… but seeing he's in human hands, I have a feeling it can't be good," Mizuki figured.
"Please don't doubt my captain. He does have a tough exterior, but he's very kind at his core, he'll raise the young dolphin well, I can assure you," Haruka insisted, arms crossed over her chest.
"The baby is a dolphin? Their sonic cries are very powerful that even Gyojin parents can find it hard to silence the noise."
"Wait… me and Ai-chan saw Puffers looking for the egg that the dolphin hatched out of before," Yoshi realized, "Could they possibly be looking for Chibi?"
"Possibly," Hariko figured, "If they are looking, then the Dolphin Gyojin must be something special for their plan."
Over by the park, Gekka sat on a bench, feeding Chibi a banana and chuckling at its face.
"You know what… you're not really that bad, Chibi-kun," Gekka smiled, Chibi bouncing up to his shoulder before the marine caught him, Chibi giggling happily as he did this, "...Omae…"
"Gekka," Chibi smiled as he patted his head.
"Huh… THERE'S THE BABY!" they suddenly heard someone shout before he got up from the bench and saw Toradeki coming down with several Puffers.
"Gyojin… so you've come after the kid?" Gekka growled, Chibi looking confused before whimpering in fear, clinging tightly to him as the Puffers ran towards him, "Hold tight, Chibi-kun."
With that, Gekka started to kick the Puffers that came after him, Chibi holding tightly to his jacket while he also threw some punches before he put his Driver on and took out his Corsair Key.
"Henshin."
Despite Chibi clinging to him, Gekka managed to transform, the baby dolphin looking into the Rider's eyes and only seeing the helmet on the Rider, making him panic, crying as he tried to pull away with Corsair still holding onto him.
"Chibi-kun, it's me! Come on!" he shouted in an attempt to keep him calm, Chibi still crying while the Rider was forced to hold off the Puffers and avoid any attacks, "Wait a minute… yosh."
He soon took his helmet off, showing his face to Chibi, the young Gyojin looking up to see Gekka's face.
"Look at me. It's me, Gekka."
"Gekka… Gekka," Chibi smiled, tears in his eyes as the Puffers tried slashing at him again.
He put the helmet back on before Corsair used a jutte to keep the grunts at bay. Chibi began crying again, pushing away from Corsair as he jumped over to the bench to hide from him. He sighed before he took his helmet off again.
"Chibi-kun! Look at me. It's Gekka!" he responded, trying to keep Chibi calm.
"You're wide open!" Toradeki shouted as he ran towards the marine Rider, catching Gekka off-guard as the Gyojin tackled him, "Oh boy… I'm gonna barf…"
"Don't you dare…"
"ORA!" they suddenly heard a voice roar loudly only for Toradeki to punched in the gut and knocked off of Gekka, revealing Kamen Rider Privateer, "I guess even the Gyojin can't take the holiday break."
"Taijou!" Gekka gawked, putting his helmet back on and standing back up.
"Care to explain the situation?"
"They're after this Gyojin baby that me and Haruka found on the beach and were raising."
"A Gyojin offspring?! Where is i-oh, it's on that bench," Privateer noted, seeing Chibi by the bench, "It's… actually pretty adorable, but why were you raising a Gyojin baby?"
"He's just a baby, Taijou… I didn't know what to do with him! I couldn't kill him, nor could I just leave him," Corsair responded, trying to defend himself.
"Senjou… as much as I hate Gyojin, it is still an infant, it's innocent, not having done any crime against humanity. A soldier must always care for children… even children of the enemy is victim to crimes. Protect the baby at all costs!"
"...Yes, sir!" Corsair saluted as he kept the Puffers away from the bench, Chibi whimpering in fear.
"Uh oh, the Gyojin are out! And Gekka-san and the admiral are out there as well!" Satoshi reported to the rest of the crew, Haruka looking very surprised.
"We have to help them, but I can't be seen with you guys," Haruka realized.
"Not to worry. We're on it," Yoshi assured, preparing his Driver.
Back with Corsair and Privateer, they were holding off the Puffers and Toradeki, Chibi clinging to the bench as he watched most of the fighting. However, the young dolphin was grabbed by Takarakuji.
"Gotcha…" he smirked, Chibi trying to get away from him as he began to cry, letting off his sonic screams, "Uh uh, your sonic screams aren't working on me."
"Chibi-kun!" Corsair shouted, trying to get to him.
"Chibi?" Privateer questioned before one Puffer tried to punch him and failed, the admiral kicking the grunt aside in response.
"Let go of him right now."
"I don't think so. Toradeki and me got plans for this little one right here, and we're not letting him escape this time," Takarakuji smirked..
"That's what you think!" he heard someone declare before Buccaneer leaped in and kicked Takarakuji away, causing him to throw Chibi up in the air, but the pirate Rider caught him in the nick of time.
Chibi started crying much louder, trying to get away from the Riders, leaping around the street away from them.
"He's scared when we're like this," Corsair pointed out.
"Then how can we fight?" Buccaneer asked, Toradeki diving towards the Riders only for them to move out of the way.
This caused Toradeki to slide across the street and grab Chibi.
"I, I got him. I got him!" Toradeki shouted, holding up the crying infant.
"Good. Then we can begin the plan," Takarakuji smirked as they dove into the water.
"CHIBI-KUN!" Corsair panicked, about to go after them, but it was too late.
"Sorry, man," Buccaneer apologized, putting his hand on his shoulder.
Later, the crew was all sitting with Gekka and Haruka in the center of town after the admiral had left back to his base, Gekka feeling really down about what happened.
"I'm very sorry that I didn't arrive in time, Senjou," Haruka apologized, Gekka placing his face in his hands.
"I got to get him back," Gekka told himself, but it was loud enough for the crew to hear, "I have to get him back before the Gyojin do something to him."
"Hold on there. We don't even know what they're going to do to him," Satoshi pointed out.
"We still gotta try, don't we?"
"He's still a child, and they could do something horrible to him. Or worse, make us fight him," Haruka pointed out with a worried tone.
"She does make a good point," Robin noted, "Luckily, I've made a Gyojin tracking device. It can allow us to track the whereabouts of the baby and the other Gyojin generals as well."
"Great work, Robin-chan," Yoshi grinned with a thumbs up, "C'mon, Gekka. We're going to get Chibi back in no time with this nifty little do-dad."
"How certain can you be?" Gekka asked, hesitant at first.
"Trust me, Robin-chan's never let me down with her inventions so far. Let's follow the trail!"
"O!" everyone shouted as they all followed Robin like so.
The troop soon arrived near a lake as Puffers were surrounding Chibi, who was crying in an attempt to ward them off, but Takarakuji and Toradeki were the only ones not affected by the sonic screams.
"This guppy sure is loud, isn't he?" Toradeki noted, drinking his sake.
"I know exactly how to fix that," Takarakuji assured, pulling out a bottle of purple liquid and mixed in a green liquid to form something dangerous.
He then poured it over Chibi, who continued to cry until he tasted the mixture. This caused him to jump up in the air and actually grow about the same size as a normal human with longer arms and legs, but he also grew spiked fins from his arms, his eyes gotten a little sharper and so did his teeth.
"No…" Gekka whispered, gasping at he saw this with shocked eyes, "Chibi-kun… I…"
"We're going to restore him… right now!" Yoshi assured, leaping into the battle and kicking Toradeki away.
"You again?! Do we need to get a restraining order?!" Toradeki asked in annoyance, trying to get back up.
The group ran out to see Chibi growling and flailing his arms around in an attempt to stab them, the heroes dodging to avoid hurting him too much as Gekka looked at the baby dolphin that he tried raising and was distraught with how to handle this. Chibi then let out a sonic roar that sent the heroes flying, but Gekka somehow managed to stay firm.
'Chibi-kun… Haruka and I found him… I need to save him,' Gekka thought to himself as he walked towards an army of Puffers, "You're in my way… move."
Gekka then punched several Puffers aside, kicked a couple, and even grabbed one by the throat, roaring with rage as he tossed it at some others like a ragdoll.
"Yoshida! You, Jack, Ai, and Okamizu fight the generals! Robin, Satoshi, Mitsuru, Haruka and Hariko, I need you to do something for me," Gekka called out, quickly going over to the latter group and whispering something to them.
"Got it!" they all nodded before running away from the fight to go fulfill Gekka's request.
Gekka then continued beating on the Puffers while Yoshi transformed into Buccaneer to fight Toradeki and Takarakuji with his friends.
"No matter who tries to wreck up humanity and take over the world… I won't allow it! I'll never allow it!" Gekka shouted in his rage, kicking aside all the Puffers, refusing to transform so that he could eventually go over to Chibi.
"Same here!" Buccaneer nodded as he slashed away at Takarakuji, who blocked with his six swords as they clashed back and forth.
Gekka soon was face-to-face with the mutated Chibi who was grunting a bit in response as the marine looked exhausted from defeating all the Puffers.
"Chibi-kun! It's Gekka!" he panted, getting the dolphin's attention, "Those guys bullying you are gone! So please… stop doing this!"
The mutated Chibi then shot out water bullets at Gekka's feet, making him stumble and crouch. A couple tears fell down his face before he wiped them away and put his Driver on.
"Henshin…"
He transformed into his base form, Chibi looking nervous before looking left and right. No Puffers were beside him, it was just him and Corsair.
"I really don't want to do this, Chibi-kun… but if it's these hands…" Corsair sighed as he kept grappling with Chibi, making sure to avoid the fins and the tail.
Then as soon as he reeled his jutte back for a thrust, his hand shivered, almost as if he hesitated to jab the dolphin Gyojin that he tried raising. This left him wide open to be hit by Chibi's tail, making him roll on the floor. Corsair simply stared at Chibi despite what happened and gripped his fist tightly.
"Don't weaken yourself, Gekka!" Buccaneer shouted, trying to hold back Toradeki and Takarakuji with his crewmates.
"Endure it more, please! Whatever idea you have, it will work!" Ai assured, tripping up the drunken Gyojin general.
"That's right… if you truly care for Chibisuke, then you mustn't give up on him!" Okamizu added.
"You're right… I raised him… like he was my own son. I can't give up now!" Corsair insisted, powering himself to his feet and making Chibi very surprised.
"Senjou!" he heard Haruka call out before he turned to see her, Robin, Satoshi, Mitsuru, and Hariko back with a large gun of sorts.
"It is done. Does it meet your requirements?" Robin answered, handing him the gun which had two handles on it, a spray barrel instead of the traditional gun barrel, and had red liquid inside a vial.
"It does… now Chibi-kun. I will subdue you," Corsair nodded before running and jumping up, aiming the new gun inside Chibi's mouth.
"No way… is he gonna…" Jack gawked as Corsair pushed the back lever forward, emptying the red vial in the gun as Chibi started to suck out the red liquid.
"It's… a baby bottle?!" Buccaneer gawked, a bit surprised by this move as they all looked confused except for Haruka, Robin and their group.
"Go on, Chibi-kun. Drink up. It's your favorite, fruit juice. You were hungry, weren't you?" Corsair smiled under his helmet as Chibi drank the juice.
"How did he know he was hungry?" Satoshi asked, a bit confused.
"He seemed to figure out from one of Chibi-kun's sonic cries that he was hungry, and seeing he screeched out the sonic cries more, it must've meant he really was starving," Haruka explained as she watched Corsair's gesture, "I did say that Gekka-senjou is a kind and gentle soul underneath."
"This doesn't make any sense!" Toradeki gawked, super confused as Chibi kept drinking.
"Puffers, finish them all off!" Takarakuji ordered as the grunts appeared again while the two generals jumped into the sewer.
"So persistent," Corsair growled as Chibi dropped the baby bottle gun and was now afraid of the grunts, "Yoshida, let's finish them."
"Yosha!" Buccaneer nodded as they turned their Keys, Corsair pressing the button on his Driver twice.
=ICHI! NI!=
=HISSATSU! KAIZOKU/CORSAIR STYLE!=
With that, both of their blades glowed before they unleashed energy slashes on the grunts, making them all explode on impact. Then, Corsair and Haruka rushed over to Chibi who looked like he was about to cry.
"Daijoubu da, Chibi-kun. It's all over," Corsair assured before removing his helmet, "Look at me. Look at Gekka. *Chibi looks nervously at him* Remember this face? *covers face* Umm!"
Gekka made a goofy expression with his tongue sticking out and his cheeks puffed out, which made the other crew members all look in utter silence.
"What the…?" Jack gawked.
"Shishishi," Haruka snickered.
"...Are you serious?" Yoshi asked with a confused expression.
After a few seconds of silence, Chibi's face returned to its adorable, normal self, making him giggle loudly.
"...Gekka! Gekka! Oh! Gekka!" Chibi laughed out loud.
"Yeah, that's right, Chibi-kun! You remembered me, right? Chibi-kun!" Gekka smiled like a proud parent, hugging him lovingly and patting his head.
"Gekka, Gekka, Gekka~!"
"Shishishishi, so glad you're back, Chibi-kun!" Haruka giggled, tickling the baby dolphin who laughed out loud.
"I'm coming, you two! I'm coming!" they suddenly heard Kizuki called out, the group seeing him run towards the commotion.
"That's our cue to leave," Yoshi smiled, waving farewell to Gekka and Haruka before he and his crew bolted off.
"What did I miss? ...Wow, Chibi's gotten bigger since last time."
"Yea… something happened and the pirates got away from us, but we rescued Chibi-kun from the Gyojin's grasp," Haruka summed up.
"Not perfect, but very well done!" Kizuki complimented as he saw how attached to Gekka and Haruka Chibi was, "Hmm… I'm thinking something. You know how Imamura has two former Gyojin generals on his crew?"
"Yes…" Gekka nodded.
"Well, that got me thinking, so how about we let Chibi join our corps!"
"EH?!" both Gekka and Haruka gawked.
"Now hear me out. He may be young now, but you two can train him and raise him to be more like us and teach him the difference between right and wrong. Sound good?" Kizuki offered, Gekka and Haruka looking to each other and Chibi before smiling in response.
"Yes, sir!"
"Great! Now the first order of duty… is for you two and Chibi to go have a Christmas party! Celebrate it with friends you have and all that! I have some grandkids to visit for the holidays!" Kizuki declared proudly before marching off, the two Marines looking to each other and Chibi before sighing.
"Thank you, Gekka…" Chibi smiled, hugging Gekka, Haruka hurriedly jotting down notes of when he spoke for the first time.
"You're welcome, Chibi-kun," Gekka smiled back.
Back to the S.S. Anne Bonnie, Yoshi and the crew had just come back in time for their Christmas party, but they soon noticed the marines and Chibi walking towards them.
"Oh… hey, guys," Yoshi waved casually.
"Go on, Senjou, tell them," Haruka whispered, nudging her captain a little as said captain cleared his throat.
"I've… come for the party… if you'll have me," Gekka sighed.
"...OF COURSE! Come on, the party's just getting started," Yoshi grinned excitedly, urging the three in the ship as it sank to the bottom of the sea, "I didn't really think you would come!"
"...It's Christmas, isn't it? It's a time for us to put all differences aside and celebrate," Gekka responded.
"...Yeah."
They both smiled as they all celebrated, the marines happy they could make this Chibi's first true Christmas with them as well as celebrate it with the pirates.
Kamen Rider Buccaneer!

Gekka: Some god you claim to be…
Haruka: You can't even
However, the threat they face isn't like any ordinary Gyojin they faced…
?: This kingdom's treasure will not be taken and I will not allow it!
?: He's been trying to kill me in order to get to Otou-sama!
The search for the Treasure of the Tides begins soon!
Gekijouban! Kamen Rider Buccaneer The Movie: Treasure of the Tides
*The Melodygers appear, as if preparing for a concert before music notes appear and they surround the five, and then scenes from the Melodyger chapter is shown*
Buccaneer: And so everyone enjoyed a beautiful Christmas party just like we did. Glad to know everyone is safe.
*The Sailor Spirits however around a bit before they all posed around the footage of the Sailor Spirits chapter.*
Red Melody: Emi-chan and Hyouno saved Santa and assured that Christmas isn't really cancelled.
*Buccaneer is seen standing in the Crow's Nest of the S.S. Anne Bonnie before several keys surround him and clips from the Buccaneer chapter is shown*
Mako: Gekka-san and Haruka-san raise a Gyojin baby and it becomes part of the marines!? Let's hope he turns out to be a good asset.
*The Melodygers, Sailor Spirits, and Buccaneer's crew then stand in front of Subarashii Records with the S.S. Anne Bonnie sailing right next to it*
Red Melody, Mako, and Buccaneer: Super Hero Time! See ya next time!
TB: It's a Christmas miracle! We finished these all! *red, white, and green confetti falls down while TB blows a party noisemaker*
KKD: And I'm glad we finished. This one is without a doubt my favorite of the trio of chapters thus far.
TB: Why's that?
KKD: Not only do we give Gekka and Haruka a bit of screentime and Gekka himself gets some character development, but we get our newest heroic Gyojin, Chibi, in our proper timeline. And yes, for those of you who remember last chapter, Chibi is the same Dolphin Gyojin as the one from last time, but this is the main timeline Chibi, and we're making sure he turns out to be good.
TB: At first, I was gonna have Gekka let him go to be raised by another family in the ocean, but KKD liked him so much that I kept him in. Consider it a Christmas gift for helping me out.
KKD: No problem, man. Merry Christmas.
TB: Same. Now, favorite parts?
KKD: Every part with little Chibi, and especially when Gekka helped snap the poor baby out of whatever Takarakuji put on him.
TB: This episode was mainly inspired by the Go-Onger episode where Hiroto takes care of a fish alien thing from a world of storms.
KKD: That was very sweet.
TB: My favorite was Gekka's character development as well as the final battle at the end where Chibi joins the cast now.
KKD: And thanks again to everyone watching… unless I'm mistaken, that's all in terms of our chapters for 2016, with the rest coming in the new year, including our movie chapters, right?
TB: This is where my next Christmas gift comes in. This is to all of you, the readers. Starting in 2017, you will see the three Gekijouban stories that I've been building up to!
KKD: This is so exciting, I can't wait! But admittedly, we also need our time to rest and be with our own families, so we'll get to the chapters when we can, but what's the word for us on Christmas Day?
TB: This has been the Lone Rider…
KKD: And the Crossover King…
TB: From all of us…
KKD: To all of you…
TB/KKD: Merry Christmas!
