TB: HEIGH HO~! *swings on the ship before landing*
KKD: *pops out through a portal above the Crow's Nest, landing up there* WHOO-HOO! *notices outfit looking like a Fire Emblem character* Whoops. *spins and reverts to a pirate outfit* Better.
TB: Here we are, the second part of this mini-arc in Kamen Rider Buccaneer, guaranteed to shake things up like Melodyger.
KKD: Yea, as if the first part didn't do that already.
TB: The first part was more of a warm-up. This is the main course. I'd do a recap, but Yoshi's already got that covered.
KKD: Right, let's get to it, shall we?
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.
...Ore wa Imamura Yoshi, Kamen Rider Buccaneer. And I'm a little pissed off. No, I take that back, I'm REALLY pissed off! Why you may ask? Well for one thing, we are trying to defeat the still alive ShiroSaki, and he's a tough son of a bitch. As if things couldn't get sucky enough, Gekka and Haruka are in a spat with their boss, the admiral Kizuki, the beans have been spilled, he storms into my cabin, shoots me, and takes my girlfriend, Ai-chan! If that doesn't piss off anyone, I don't know what will.
After Yoshi's bullet wound was treated, he sat down looking really angry as he slammed his fist on the couch he was sitting on.
"Jack, Hariko, Mizu-chan, I want you three to prepare the cannons in the hull for full blast and make sure they are working properly!" Yoshi ordered.
"On it!" Jack saluted, rushing off with the two Gyojin siblings.
"Robin-chan, status on our equipment."
"Our power is still substantial and operational. Everything is still up to date," she informed, Yoshi giving a thumbs up.
"Yoshi-san, Kizuki-taijou and the others are not at the usual Marine HQ," Satoshi informed.
"Then where the hell are they!?" Yoshi demanded to know.
"I currently can't find them anywhere on the scanners. It's as if they somehow dropped off the grid and turned invisible or something."
"Don't you give me that horse crap, Satoshi. You have a gifted talent for finding any location and anyone within 25 meters! You find them, goddamn it!"
"Hai!"
"Robin-chan, Mitsuru, coordinate with Satoshi and help him! I want this son of a bitch found!" Yoshi shouted, standing in front of the steering wheel as the two girls helped Satoshi out.
Meanwhile, in what looked like a brig, Kizuki threw Ai in the same cell as Haruka, Chibi, and a beaten Gekka. The admiral sighed as he locked the four in the cell.
"I know Imamura will come for you," Kizuki noted, "And when he does, I will bring him to justice."
"...Taking me hostage and… *turns to see Gekka* Beating your own captain. That's justice to you?" Ai demanded to know.
"Whatever it takes to insure your lover is behind bars!"
"...Justice is blind… not heartless," Gekka grunted in pain, wincing a bit as he gripped his stomach.
"I have to put Imamura behind bars… because my time is short enough as it is. This Driver doesn't have much juice left in it; a couple days more and I probably won't survive," Kizuki sighed, Ai gasping in shock from this.
"...You're dying…?" she gawked at this news.
"It is none of your concern, Fujimoto. Now make yourself comfortable."
With that, the admiral walked away, leaving the four to look worried and concerned as we see where they really are. Turns out that they are inside the brig of a large battleship that was sailing across the seas.
(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, a clip of him in his Geo Form using his Geo Hammer to pound the ground, and one more of Buccaneer using the Mirai Form and bowgun to fire*
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
*We then see Buccaneer spinning before (con with showing off his Mirai Form)*
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 29: Pirate vs. Marine: Climatic Confrontation
Back with Yoshi, he was walking outside and… why aren't you on the ship?
"I just needed to get some fresh air. Don't wanna snap at my crew for anything that isn't their fault," Yoshi sighed as he looked around.
Ai's kidnapping must be really putting you on edge.
"You think? Ai-chan is the world to me! I can't possibly imagine what Ossan could be doing to her with Gekka and Harushi-chan."
Chibi's with them too.
"Yeah, him too, sorry."
"Talking to yourself doesn't help your predicament," Yoshi suddenly heard a voice inform, making Yoshi turn to see a familiar officer sitting at a table and drinking some coffee.
"Takeo!"
"Don't worry, I have no other officers on standby. It's just me," Takeo assured as he put his mug down.
"What do you want?"
"...To fill you in on some things."
"Why are you helping me now?"
"Because I listened to a conversation that Gekka-senjou and Haruka-chui had. They place their full trust in you while I still question your actions," Takeo informed as Yoshi gave him a confused look before growling, grabbing the superior officer by the collar and pushing him against a wall.
"You ratted them out?! You sold them out to the admiral, didn't you!?" Yoshi snapped.
"I didn't say a word because I knew better than to intervene with superior marine officers," Takeo answered before a cocking sound could be heard, making Yoshi look to see Takeo had a gun aimed right at his gut, held by Takeo himself, "And I may not have officers with me, but that doesn't mean I come unarmed."
"My girlfriend, Fujimoto Ai, is behind bars with them because somebody spilled the beans about us working together."
"I know better than anyone how much faith you two put in each other and how close you've become."
Yoshi glared at him before letting Takeo go, the officer putting the safety on his gun before putting it away.
"So now what?" Yoshi asked, not sure what Takeo was gonna tell him.
"I recently got a call from Kizuki-taijou that he moved his prisoners from the HQ to a battleship out at sea," Takeo informed.
"Why would he do that?"
"He knows that you'll come for her. If you go in blindly, you could be right where he wants you."
"I still don't know why the hell you're helping me when you've been flip flopping between arresting my crew and letting us go."
"...Maybe… maybe you're not as bad as the military made you out to be," Takeo figured.
"...Finally seeing the light? Took you nearly over a half the story to get it through your thick skull," Yoshi retorted.
"You're already too late in finding out," they heard a voice call out, making the two gasp, turning to see ShiroSaki with his blade out and a sinister smile on his face.
"Oh please, I don't have time for you."
"Too bad. You wanna find the one who told on the two marines, that would be me."
"WHAT?! You're the one who ratted them out!?"
"A marine disguise was easy for someone like me. All I needed to do was spout out the info to the admiral and it all spiraled out from there."
"...You bastard…" Yoshi growled as he put his belt on and showed his Mirai Key, "HENSHIN!"
The pirate twisted his Key and roared before transforming into his Mirai Form, Buccaneer firing the Bowgun in rapid succession and causing ShiroSaki to block almost all of the shots. They then clashed rapidly with their weapons, sparks flying outward every time the weapons collided until they were at a stand still.
"My girlfriend is a hostage because of you!" Buccaneer shouted, trying to push back.
ShiroSaki just grinned sickly as he pushed Buccaneer away and kept slashing at the Rider, knocking him back some more. Buccaneer soon got back and fired from his Bowgun in the air so that the shots could act like heat seekers, with ShiroSaki struggling to dodge and block them.
"You fight better when you're angry. I like it," ShiroSaki smirked, Buccaneer groaning in some frustration as he tried to fire some more at the Gyojin general.
He clashed with him again, the weapons creating massive sparks before Buccaneer managed to hit ShiroSaki a couple times before shooting him in the chest, making the kaijin stumble back.
"How's that for powerful, asshole?" Buccaneer snapped, grinning under his helmet.
"Don't you have an admiral to fight now?" ShiroSaki pointed out as Buccaneer aimed his Mirai Bowgun.
"I'll get to him shortly. You are the first one to go down fi-."
Just before he could finish though, ShiroSaki unleashed an energy slash before jumping back into the water, leaving Buccaneer by himself to block the slash.
"Damn it!" he growled, reverting to normal before seeing that Takeo is already gone.
Back on the battleship, Kizuki walked into a lab as some scientists were working on something, the admiral standing in front of the table.
"What can you do about this Driver?" Kizuki asked.
"We can try and figure out how to extend its use so that your life will sustain, but it won't be a permanent fix," one scientist informed.
"Can't you make another one that's better and will last infinitely?"
"We haven't the resources to construct a back up; when we revived you, we only had the resources to make one Driver. We can keep making it last longer, but chances are that we'll run out of energy and we won't be able to find more."
"...So there really is nothing you can do?"
"I'm very sorry, Taijou. There's nothing more we can do."
Kizuki sighed, hand on his Driver before touching the scar on his stomach. He walked out of the lab, slamming his fist into the wall, making a dent in it before continuing his way, frustrated about the news.
Over in the brig, Ai was sitting with her arms around her legs and knees close to her face as she was close to tearing up.
"Ai okay?" Chibi asked, concerned for her.
"I… I'm alright, Chibi-kun," Ai assured as she patted his head.
"I am sorry about… everything. Taijou almost broke me mentally and physically. I seemed inferior to him in strength, experience, everything," Gekka sighed, laying back first and staring at the ceiling.
"...I wish I would've done something to help you, sir," Haruka replied apologetically.
"...Don't be hard on yourself, Chui. Your involvement possibly wouldn't change the solution."
"Ano, Gekka-san, Haruka-san… is it true? Is Kizuki-san going to die?" Ai inquired, the two marines and their surrogate Gyojin looking at her.
"You have my permission to tell her, Haruka," Gekka answered as he sat up.
Haruka sighed before sitting next to her captain.
"Remember the stingray Gyojin with the chainsaw tail?" Haruka checked, reminding Ai of their time fighting the Seven Swordsmen of the Abyss.
"Oh yeah, that was nasty," Ai nodded, shuddering in response.
"Well… the only reason he's alive was because some of our top scientists and doctors nursed him back to health and created a Driver that basically put him on an advanced life support. However, given from what he said before he left us in here, he doesn't have much time left."
"Oh… I… I'm very sorry," Ai apologized.
"Taijou's been like a father to me ever since he took me under his wing when my family was killed. He's trained me, pushed me past my limits, made me go beyond my potential," Gekka muttered, wiping the blood from his face, "I have never been more grateful than to serve under him; he is the best mentor I and Haruka could ever ask for."
"He was still blind to the truth that Yoshi-san is not the real threat."
"That's true… but it's only because of his own past with pirates. He's helped America with its fair share of troubles, including some Somali Pirates, often capturing them to make sure they answer for their crimes. During one pirate scourge, one took his son, who was also a trained soldier, hostage. It was a traumatic experience for both of them, but he still managed to rescue his son."
"I can understand why he feels that way, but how can we get him to understand?" Ai wondered.
"Pardon my bold tongue, but… Taijou can be a really stubborn old man," Haruka pointed out.
"...Aren't all elderly people, honestly?"
Gekka actually chuckled in response, Chibi and Haruka following after.
"Shishishishi," she chuckled a bit as Gekka looked to her.
"...I never heard you laugh before…" Gekka admitted, Haruka blushing and looking flabbergasted, "I'm not going to make fun of you. It's a nice laugh, actually."
"R-Really? A-Arigatou gozaimasu, Senjou."
"Gekka and Haruka so cute together," Chibi smiled with a little laugh, Gekka and Haruka blushing a little with Ai giggling this time around.
Over with Yoshi on the docks, he was going back to his ship and grabbed a hold of the wheel.
"Satoshi, Robin-chan, have you found Kizuki's location yet?" he checked.
"It took a little bit of hacking and overwriting, but we finally managed to track him down," Robin answered, "He's in a vessel that tampers with our tracking scanners and makes him invisible to pretty much anyone."
"His battleship…"
"How do you know he's on a battleship?" Jack asked in confusion.
"...Let's just say I had a little help from the force," Yoshi replied.
"Has that human officer finally come to see things our way?" Mizuki asked.
"Maybe. I'm not totally sure yet, but right now I know one thing for sure. We're getting Ai-chan back, saving Gekka and Harushi-chan, as well as getting some payback on that old man. Everyone get yourselves ready!"
"Hai!" everyone saluted as Yoshi turned the wheel, the S.S. Anne Bonnie rising out of the water and going at top speed, racing towards their destination.
The ship kept on cruising out into the ocean as Okamizu and Harisento were on the deck of the ship to look out, carefully looking for any signs of the battleship while Jack and Mitsuru operated the cannons down at the hull.
"I spot the vessel! Straight away!" Harisento called out.
"Satoshi, put it on screen," Yoshi ordered as Satoshi did just that, the view of the battleship coming onto the monitor, "Robin-chan, I trust you worked out all the bugs on this ship? Things went kinda crazy the last time we fought against a marine ship."
"Everything's up to date and the ship is sturdier; capable of withstanding modern cannon fire and explosives despite it looking like an ancient galleon. You shall, as you say 'light 'em up'," Robin assured and grinned.
"Good. Hail that hunk of junk."
"Wait, are you sure you wanna give our position away? I know that we could go underwater, perform a stealth attack if we have to," Satoshi pointed out.
"We could… but I sure as hell don't want to. I want the son of a bitch to know I'm comin. Hail him!" Yoshi growled before shouting the last order, finger pointed at the vessel.
"Opening hailing frequencies," Robin sighed as she began to open communications.
"Hey! Jackass!"
Over in the battleship, Kizuki heard the communication from inside the control room with several soldiers at the helm.
-I know you're in there, Ossan! You have something that belongs to me. My girlfriend, my two marine friends, and a fellow rogue Gyojin. Surrender them to me or I will fire everything! This is your only warning!- Yoshi informed over the speakers.
"Shall we respond, sir?" one officer asked.
"Yes," Kizuki confirmed, motioning to connect with the ship before smirking, "Imamura! ...I knew you'd come!"
-You think you could get a one up on me, shooting me in the shoulder and taking the one person that means the world to me away? You got another thing coming,- Yoshi snapped at the admiral.
-On contraire, Imamura. I haven't gone far enough. I had to take your lover hostage. It's the only way to lead you here so that I can imprison you and the rest of your crew!- Kizuki responded inside Yoshi's ship, surprising the pirate as the guns on the ship began to aim at the S.S. Anne Bonnie.
"I don't care if this is a trap, you won't be taking me or my crew alive!"
"I'm afraid you won't have much of a choice. Either you surrender, or we fight until someone dies!"
"Piss me off enough and we'll see what happens."
"Prepare all the weapons!" Kizuki ordered, all the soldiers saluting and preparing the weapons.
"Everything ready down there?" Yoshi checked.
"All good!" Jack confirmed.
"All cannons on standby," Mitsuru added, giving the 'OK' hand gesture.
"Ready… aim… FIRE!" Yoshi and Kizuki both yelled as both ships fired on each other, the loud booms echoing across the horizon.
Yoshi spun the wheel and maneuvered pass the large battleship cannon fire as his ship fired back, hitting the larger marine vessel.
"Damage report!" Kizuki demanded of his crew.
"Main hull absorbed most of the damage. Nothing significant, sir!" one soldier assured.
"Hmhm, good. Everyone down in the loading bay better give it everything you got!"
"RYOKAI!" the soldiers from down below shouted as they were loading more and more large missiles as fast as they could.
"Don't give up, guys! We can still fight back! Fire everything we've got!" Yoshi shouted.
"Got it, man!" Jack called out, he and Mitsuru aiming all the cannons right at the battleship and managing to fire and hit more of the battleship.
"Time to board!" Harisento shouted as he and Okamizu leapt into the water and swam at top speed towards the ship.
"I'll join you guys in a minute!" Yoshi called out as the ship rumbled a bit, "What's the damage?"
"The starboard stern absorbed the damage and we've received some denting!" Robin informed, showing an image of the galleon with the section of the ship she mentioned highlighted in a yellow green.
"Jack, Mitsuru, see if you can take our their weapons!"
"Aye aye!" Mitsuru saluted.
"...I think it's time for those pirates to know what they're up against. Fire main cannons!" Kizuki ordered.
"Yes, sir!" the officers shouted, activating the cannons, but the battleship suddenly lurched before they could.
"What was that?! Damage report!"
"Our starboard hull has been dented and some of our missile launchers and our artillery have been destroyed!" one soldier gasped.
"What destroyed them!?"
-I think it's time you see what the S.S. Anne Bonnie is really capable of Ossan,- Yoshi smirked over his communications as the galleon's top deck opened up to reveal a massive cannon, "Say hello to her little friend!"
"Brace for impact!" Kizuki shouted as the large cannon fired laser blasts that hit the top deck of the battleship, causing serious dents, and even made a whole line of jets explode, "Fire the cannons! Keep firing!"
The soldiers rushed to fire the cannons as fast as they could, the vessel doing so and hitting the galleon as its dents really started to show.
"We're taking some bad damage over here!" Jack called out.
"Okay, I'm going out there. Satoshi, take the wheel!" Yoshi shouted as he ran up to the top deck and put his Driver on before pulling out the Hoshi Key, "Kaa-chan… give me strength. HENSHIN!"
=KAITEN! HOSHI FORM!=
He quickly took a leap of faith before exploding outward with energy and flying above the water as he managed to closer and higher to the ship.
"Uh, Taijou, you should see this," an officer pointed out, putting Buccaneer in his Hoshi Form on screen.
"What? The? Hell!?" Kizuki gawked in response, the pirate quickly firing energy beams at the battleship, destroying the cannons, and scaring the soldiers on deck as the inside rumbled, "What is he doing?!"
"All our weapons have been destroyed, sir!" another soldier shouted in panic, making Kizuki slam his fist against the wall, his hand actually in a bit of pain as his Driver started flickering on and off before remaining on, "I have to take it easy… I must deal with him myself."
The admiral growled before storming off as Buccaneer landed on the deck and turned the communication on in his helmet.
"Did you two find the prisoners yet?" he checked with the Gyojin over the com-link.
-We just reached the brig. We'll send you the location,- Harisento informed, the Rider getting a visual map in his HUD display.
"I'll be right over."
After kicking several soldiers out of his path, he punched down the door to the brig.
"Yoshi-san!" Ai gasped, running over and embracing her boyfriend in armor.
"You okay?" Buccaneer checked, making sure that she wasn't injured.
"Yes, I'm alright."
"Come here, Chibisuke. Come here," Okamizu called out, the little dolphin leaping into her arms, crying while Harisento helped Gekka up with Haruka.
"I can stand fine," Gekka assured.
"Now come on, let's get the hell out of he-," Buccaneer started before he felt a gun poking the back of his head, revealing Kizuki glaring at him while aiming his pistol.
"...Get off my ship," he ordered.
"Guys, little help?"
At that moment, Chibi dropkicked Kizuki right in the chest, knocking the gun out of his hand before Okamizu and Harisento threw punches at him. He grabbed them before pushing the three Gyojin away before posing.
"Hen… SHIN!" Kizuki shouted as he transformed into Privateer.
"Let's use something that won't tear your ship inside out," Buccaneer responded as he showed his Mirai Key and quickly inserted it.
=KAITEN! MIRAI FORM!=
The pirate transformed into his strongest form before running and tangling with the admiral. The two traded punches and kicks at such a rapid pace that it was almost like a blur. This lasted for a while as they bumped each other against the walls.
"We gotta help him! C-Can you still fight?" Ai asked.
"I… think so," Gekka winced as he held his Driver up and while still trying to recover, only to fall on his knees.
"Take it easy, Senjou," Haruka responded, helping him up with Chibi.
"I said get off my ship!" Privateer ordered.
"That's what I'll be doing, my crew with me!" Buccaneer assured as they kept trading blows, the pirate's blows growing more powerful.
Privateer wasn't slowing down as he threw some hard hits of his own, actually making Buccaneer's helmet crack. The pirate growled in irritation as Privateer punched the pirate back, but suddenly he fell to the ground, losing his transformation.
"What?! M-My suit! My Driver!" Kizuki gawked, looking at his waist.
"Looking for this?" Buccaneer asked holding the Driver in plain view.
"Wait!"
Before Kizuki could charge forward, a big hole was blown through the hull by the cannons of the S.S. Anne Bonnie.
"The cavalry's here in time! Let's jump on, people!" Buccaneer shouted, holding Ai's hand and helping her before they made a leap of faith over to the deck of the galleon.
"Us too! Come with me, Senjou!" Haruka called out as she held Gekka and Chibi's hand before they all leaped through the hole and onto the ship.
"Get us outta here!" Buccaneer shouted, Satoshi hearing this before turning the wheel.
Kizuki managed to get from the battleship and leap over to the ship, clinging onto the edge of the galleon as it sped away from the battleship.
"Rescue success!" Buccaneer cheered, raising his arms up in victory with Kizuki's Driver still in his hand, "I even brought this hunk of junk with me."
"Although psychological warfare is a key to victory, I suggest being careful with that thing and giving it back to him," Haruka replied.
"Why's that?"
"You see, um…" Ai started before they heard noise as Kizuki climbed aboard the deck of the ship, aiming his gun at Buccaneer, the Rider holding said Driver to the ground.
"My Driver… give it back… and turn this ship around… now," Kizuki panted while demanding the Driver, but is clearly clutching his chest like he's clinging to life.
"Try anything and it's totaled, asshole," Buccaneer threatened, aiming his Mirai Bowgun at the Driver.
"No! Y-You can't!"
"...I'm sorry, what? I can't? You invade my ship, you attack me and my friends, you almost mauled your own captain, you perform KIDNAPPING, and YOU WANNA TELL ME WHAT I CAN'T DO?!" Buccaneer snapped, his aim still holding against the Driver.
"No! Y… You don't understand!"
"Well… this is what happens when you cross that line in the sand and piss me off."
"Wait, Yoshida…" Gekka grunted, trying to stop but Buccaneer fired anyway, making the Driver explode into bits after multiple shots.
Kizuki grunted as he gripped his chest, staring at his destroyed Driver in shock, reacting as if he was about to have a heart attack as Buccaneer smirked.
"You son of a bitch, I'll kill you!" Kizuki snapped back before Buccaneer fired, his weapon blasting Kizuki where the sun don't shine… three times! Little harsh, don't ya think?
"I think he deserved a few good shots in the noots," Yoshi responded before walking towards the pained Kizuki and aimed his bowgun at him once more, "Now to repeat what you said… get off my ship!"
Kizuki was coughing a bit as Buccaneer kicked him off the ship and into the water near the battleship, the body floating away from the ship.
"I don't think he'll be bothering us for a while," he smirked.
"...You have no idea what you've done," Haruka muttered in shock.
"What?"
"He was clinging to life!"
"WHAT?!"
"So wait… that Driver was basically his life support?" Yoshi gawked, stunned that Ai and the marines explained this to him.
"Yes," Haruka nodded.
"Couldn't they just make another one?"
"They didn't have the resources to make another one. If he's not dead yet, then chances are that he's slowly dying as we speak."
"And by destroying the Driver, I guaranteed that he's really going to die," Yoshi gapsed in realization before rubbing his hands on his face, feeling very stupid, "Oh geez. I gotta… I gotta apologize to him!"
"...I don't think he'll be in the mood to apologize," Gekka pointed out as Mitsuru healed his wounds.
"Well I gotta do something! I-!"
"Uh, Yoshi-san… you should look at this," Satoshi pointed out, showing on a nearby monitor the city of Tokyo in shambles, some places on fire and many buildings in ruins.
"What the hell happened?!" Yoshi gawked.
"We're getting several Gyojin alerts coming from all over the city!" Robin pointed out.
"So many?!"
"Wait… what if this was their plan the whole time? While we were fighting the marines, they started their assault on the city!" Mitsuru gasped in realization of this news.
"Man! How could I be so stupid to both Ossan's dilemma and this one!?" Yoshi groaned, facepalming himself in response.
"I am very sorry, Taijou," one doctor apologized as Kizuki was sitting on his hospital bed, "I've been able to put you on our own life support, but it's already too late. With the destruction of the Driver, you only have eight hours left to live. What will you do?"
Kizuki sat on the bed, staring off into the distance, shocked, upset, and unable to say anything as he had his hands wrapped together. He then stood up and walked out without saying anything, leaving the staff to look concerned for him.
Kamen Rider Buccaneer!
Yoshi: It was all a setup by the Gyojin!
Kizuki: I can no longer live thanks to you!
Gekka: What am I supposed to do now?
ShiroSaki: You two aren't fighting anymore?!
Kizuki: Go get 'em for me, Shimaoka!

TB: And that's all of this set done. Boy were these chapters crazy.
KKD: I'll say.
TB: Thoughts on this chapter?
KKD: It's hard to say… it's really great, I think it's one of our most well-written, and while I know Kizuki was a bit of a douche for various reasons… I'm kinda sad for him since now he doesn't have long to live.
TB: I apologize if I haven't shown much of that in previous chapters, but I thought this was a good way to shake up Buccaneer, but in a different way from how Melodyger is getting shook up.
KKD: Yea… real crazy stuff.
TB: So you're okay with my reason for bringing all this up now?
KKD: Yea, I think so.
TB: That's good to know. Favorite part or parts?
KKD: That ship battle at the end before Buccaneer took on Privateer, and that bout itself was cool, too… but even though Buccaneer was somewhat rightfully enraged, I'll admit he sounded like he was kind of a dick.
TB: Then again, so was Hiro in Big Hero 6. He was rightfully enraged even though it made him act like a dick.
KKD: Touche.
TB: Plus, at least he felt really bad about it when he realized that Kizuki had a short time to live.
KKD: Yea...
TB: My favorite parts were that ship battle where he used the Hoshi Form for the first time in a while and the fight between Buccaneer and Privateer.
KKD: Yea, that was pretty cool.
TB: And don't worry. He'll get better and admit his mistake in the next chapter.
KKD: Ok, that's good.
TB: Until the next crazy set, I'm the Lone Rider, TokuBrony…
KKD: And I'm the Crossover King, KKD Silver, and we'll see ya next time… *salutes* Jaa ne.
TB: SEIYAA!
