We do not own Koihime Musou or Kamen Rider Gaim. They belong to their respective creators. We just thought this idea would be fun and decided to give it a try. If you like it, then that's great. If you don't, then we tried. Anyway, come along and let's see what you think.


BG-Nagata suddenly froze as he was about to continue assaulting Ryuubi.

'LET HER GO!'

"ARGH!" BG-Nagata screamed as he released Ryuubi and held his head. The loud shout in his head was giving him a splitting headache. "What!? Gaim!?"

"Nagata-sama?" Ryuubi whispered.

'I SAID LET HER GO! NOW!'

BG-Nagata suddenly froze as he loomed over Ryuubi. He stared blankly at her and wasn't moving.

"Nagata-sama?" Ryuubi asked. When he didn't respond to her question, she decided to push him off her. She met no resistance as he rolled off her and he landed on his back. He continued to stare blankly, now at the ceiling.

Ryuubi looked down at the Blood Orange Lockseed. She quickly went for it and grabbed hold of the dreadful object. She fiddled with it until she finally managed to unlock it.

[LOCK OFF!]

The Blood Orange Lockseed came right off the SengokuDriver. Standing up, Ryuubi took a moment to glare coldly at the object.

It was the source of Bujin Gaim's power. If she destroyed it, then he would no longer exist.

She dropped the Lockseed on the floor and drew her holy Dragon Claw Sword. She raised the sword above her head, with its tip pointed down.

"Embrace the darkness and rest in peace," Ryuubi quoted Nagata.

Fueled by determination, the sword glowed with holy light. She let out a battle cry and brought her blade down on the unholy Lockseed.

Chapter 14-3: The Exorcism of Bujin Gaim (Part 3)


Bujin Gaim, in his Blood Orange Arms Armor, found himself back in the restaurant in Nagata's mindscape. He always found coming into Nagata's mindscape to be a disorienting experience. Since the boy came from a different era, everything just seemed so alien to the demon.

The last thing he remembered before his consciousness was forcibly pulled in here was nearly having his way with Ryuubi Gentoku.

He growled in irritation once he spotted Nagata standing across from him. It had taken all his willpower to escape from whatever corner in his mind Bujin Gaim had trapped him in. After seeing the things Bujin Gaim had done, he had finally reached his breaking point.

Enough was enough.

"You know, Gaim. I can't just keep coming back here to keep you in line," said Bujin Gaim. "It's very rude and inconvenient for me."

"I'm not letting you hurt anyone, anymore," Nagata responded.

"Like those people I killed? You know, you could've stopped me, but you didn't. And now they're dead because you were too weak to stop me!"

"...You're right, and that is why I'm going to stop you, here and now."

Bujin Gaim spread his arms, challenging Nagata, "Well, by all means. Hit me with your best shot!"

There was no hesitation as Nagata broke into a run as he dashed towards Bujin Gaim. He began throwing punches at the demonic Rider. Standing his ground, Bujin Gaim blocked the blows effortlessly. When Nagata switched to a roundhouse kick, Bujin Gaim caught Nagata's leg before sending him sliding back with a palm strike.

"How can you still keep fighting, Gaim? Even though you know how pointless it is?" Bujin Gaim asked as he suddenly closed the gap between them, startling Nagata. Bujin Gaim punched Nagata in the face and sent him flying across the room and into a table, breaking it in half.

Nagata picked himself up from the broken furniture and frowned, eyes narrowed with burning determination.

"I will never stop fighting," Nagata resolved as he seemingly teleported in front of Bujin Gaim. He started throwing kicks and punches which Bujin Gaim blocked. However, one punch managed to slip past Bujin Gaim's guard and nail him right in the face. While Bujin Gaim was stunned, Nagata performed a heel kick that hit him right in the jaw before he followed up with a roundhouse kick right to the midsection.

Bujin Gaim grunted as he staggered from the blow. Howling like a wild beast, Nagata began throwing punches with incredible speed and force, hitting Bujin Gaim in the face, chest, and stomach repeatedly. He wailed on his opponent mercilessly. Then, when he was about to slam a haymaker right in Bujin Gaim's face, the evil demonic Rider waved his hand and deflected the punch.

"Enough of this!"

A pool of black ooze spread from under Nagata and slimy black limbs shot out to bind him. Nagata struggled but the limbs held firmly, preventing him from breaking free.

"Argh!" Nagata shouted as he thrashed.

"Just look at you! You're just an ant trying to confront a god, and you don't even realize you're out of your league!"

"You're not a god!"

"Neither are you. You're not a hero and you're certainly no king, either. You're just a sad, pathetic boy trying to escape mediocrity and become something he isn't."

"That's natural, isn't it? We all want to be more than we already are. We all want to change and become better. There's no shame with having ambition."

"And yet you criticize my former self's ambition."

"It wasn't his ambition I had a problem with. It's just what he was willing to do to achieve it was wrong. But at least, he had ambition. You're just doing whatever you want because you think your power gives you the right!"

"Of course. It is the right of those in power to do what they want with those beneath them. The weak only function to serve the strong and they can only perish once their usefulness has ended."

"That's where you're wrong. Might doesn't make you right. That just makes you a tyrant."

Bujin Gaim scowled, annoyed.

"I don't need to listen to this."

Bujin Gaim snapped his fingers. It was the time he took care of Nagata permanently.

Nagata's eyes widened in shock as he started to sink. The arms holding him were dragging him down with them. The arms' grip tightened around him, dragging him deeper into the pool of dark ooze.

Nagata had to break free. With a shout, he reached out and grabbed hold onto the edges of the tar pit. He struggled as he tried to pull himself back up.

"Struggle all you like, Gaim. It's futile," said Bujin Gaim as he sat down on a table to watch.

"This really gets you off, doesn't it?" Nagata spat.

"What can I say? It's a lot of fun," Bujin Gaim confirmed as he popped open a bottle of beer. "And once you're gone, your body will be all mine alone, and everything you possess will belong to me." He then tipped the bottle over as his mouthplate opened up like a pair of sharp metallic jaws. He chugged the beer down until the bottle was empty. Once he was done, he tossed the empty bottle away and wiped his mouth clean. He then popped open another bottle.

"But don't you worry, though. I'll take good care of your girls. Very good care of them," Bujin Gaim sneered smugly with a perverse tone. The demonic Rider was so delighted in seeing Nagata suffer in despair, and was anticipating the moment he completely gained control over everything Nagata possessed.

As Nagata continued to struggle, part of him felt that this would be it.

This was it.

He wasn't going to make it.

His life was over.

"Nagata-sama, I know you're still in there! You saved Aisha! If you can hear me, fight back! Fight back!"

However, another, much stronger part of him refused to give up and urged him to keep fighting.

"Nagata-sama, I know you're stronger than this! You're stronger than him! You can beat him! Fight!"

He wasn't going to give up.

"I find it ironic. You always hated my former self for being selfish, but you're not so different either."

"I'm nothing like Nise!"

"Really? How many soldiers have died under your command? How many people sacrificed themselves for you? How many lives were lost under your watch?"

At the mention of the word sacrifice, Nagata recalled the last person who had given up her life for him...Nanamomo.

His friend.

"Too many to count! And I mourn for every life that is lost because they fought for me! But unlike you, unlike Nise, I don't command from the rear where it's safe! I don't order them to throw their lives away! I lead in front and fight alongside them!

"It's true that people will do anything to obtain their dreams! Nise and I both dream of becoming heroes, but that's where our similarities end! He wanted to become a hero for his own selfish desires, for fame and glory! I wished to become a hero, simply for the sake of being a hero! That is why I continue to fight!

"I fight so the sacrifices of those who fought for me will not be in vain!

"I fight in their memory, to carry on their dreams!

"I fight so that the people I love can reach their own dreams!

"I fight so that they can have a better tomorrow!

"And most importantly, I fight for their hope!"

The Oda Clan medallion Nagata wore around his neck began to shine. All of a sudden, it released a bright flash.

[NOBUNAGA!]

Suddenly, a small swirling purple portal opened up in front of Nagata's chest before something emerged. The thing that came out looked like a disembodied garment. The garment consisted of a black chestplate with triangular shoulder pads. Purple sleeves flared out from the shoulder pads and a waist-length purple cape with the Oda Clan's crest on it hung from the back. The kabuto-like headpiece, which sat in the center of the upturn gold collar, had a topknot that bloomed at the top. From within the shadows of the headpiece, a pair of menacing violet eyes glowed.

Bujin Gaim spewed beer out of his mouth out of surprise.

"WHAT!?"

The spirit garment turned towards Nagata and grabbed hold of his hand using its sleeves to pull him out of the tar pit. The slimy limbs turned slack and released him as he broke free.

Nagata locked eyes with the spirit garment. It felt familiar to him.

"I am thou...thou art I..."

The spirit garment placed something inside Nagata's hand.

It was a sparkling golden Lockseed emblazoned with the Oda Clan crest.

"Thank you," Nagata said to the spirit garment. It nodded in response to Nagata's gratitude.

[SEIFUKU ARMS! DAI AKUMA, SEKAI SEIFUKU!]

"Looks like I'll have to kill you myself," Bujin Gaim decided as he summoned his Blood Drake Tail Sword and stepped menacingly towards Nagata.

The purple spirit garment suddenly attacked Bujin Gaim to hold him at bay.

"Get off me!" Bujin Gaim shouted as he swung his sword in an attempt to drive the annoying thing away.

Nagata unlocked the golden Lockseed, activating it.

[DAI SHOGUN!]

The SengokuDriver appeared around his waist and he locked the Lockseed in.

[LOCK ON!]

"Henshin!" Nagata yelled as he hit the Cutting Blade.

[SOIYA!]

The Sparkling Orange Arms dropped on Nagata's head, causing the Ryujin Ride Wear suit materialized over his body. The Sparkling Orange Armor Part disassembled to form the armor, revealing his Ryujin Kabuto. Finally, the shoulder armor vanished to make room for the spirit garment as it flew over to him.

The spirit garment's chestpiece vanished as it draped itself over the Sparkling Orange Armor and the headpiece merged with the Ryujin Kabuto. In a flash, his visor filled with color as it flashed orange.

[RYUJIN! SPARKLING ORANGE! NOBUNAGA! DAI SHOGUN ARMS! SEKAI NO OU! SHINING DAIROKUTEN MAOU!]

Great Shogun. King of the World. The Shining Demon King of the 6th Heaven.

This was Shogun Gaim.

Bujin Gaim took a step back and gawked.

"No...This isn't possible..."

"In here, anything is possible," Shogun Gaim retorted. "Bujin Gaim, this is my stage! Now get the hell off!"

"No, the stage is mine!" Bujin Gaim protested as he snapped his fingers and called upon two familiar figures.

Shogun Gaim scowled. Bujin Gaim had summoned his former selves: Bloody Gaim and Nise-Zangetsu. They were both armed and ready for combat as they attacked.

Nise-Zangetsu kept his distance as he fired his Sonic Arrow as Bloody Gaim charged straight for Shogun Gaim. Shogun Gaim deflected the energy arrows with his Musou Saber while Bloody Gaim quickly closed the gap and struck with his Blood Daidaimaru. The Blood Daidaimaru met resistance as Shogun Gaim deflected it with the Musou Saber. Shogun Gaim slashed Bloody Gaim with the Musou Saber before performing a roundhouse kick that sent Bloody Gaim staggering.

Nise-Zangetsu dashed towards Shogun Gaim, joining his brother in battle. Shogun Gaim used his sole Musou Saber to parry their blows before retaliating, sending them backpedaling as sparks burst out from their chests.

[SOIYA! DAI SHOGUN AU LAIT!]

Energy encased the blade of the Musou Saber and Gaim rapidly slashed Bloody Gaim and Nise-Zangetsu. The two fake Riders froze as Shogun Gaim continuously piled on damage with each slash.

Finally, he performed the finishing blow, shouting, "DAI RYUJIN SHOGUN SLASH!"

The two fake Riders exploded.

"You're next!" Shogun Gaim pointed his Musou Saber at Bujin Gaim threateningly.

Bujin Gaim roared as he struck the floor. A huge crack spread out between Shogun Gaim and Bujin Gaim, separating them. The restaurant then shattered like glass to reveal an empty void. The void soon turned into outer space with stars, planets, moons and galaxies scattered all around them.

Bujin Gaim stood on a stone platform as Shogun Gaim stood on another, with a hundred feet of distance between them. It was a distance only Superman could cross with a single jump.

Bujin Gaim summoned his new weapon, the Toxic Arrow, and fired at Shogun Gaim. Shogun Gaim, knowing what the weapon could do to him, dodged the rounds. He then took a risk and jumped as the Toxic Arrow's shots flew past him. Miraculously, he crossed the empty space between himself and Bujin Gaim and landed upon the latter's stone platform.

Immediately, they clashed and sparks exploded as their weapons met.

"It's a shame I'll have to kill you! I've enjoyed our time together!"

"I doubt that!"

"No, I'm serious! I mean, watching your entire life story, and how you developed such childish dreams and ideals, has been quite entertaining! I'm going to genuinely miss you, Gaim!"

"This isn't about weak dreams, childish ideals, resolutions or even motive anymore! This is about me kicking your butt!"

Shogun Gaim kicked Bujin Gaim in the stomach, sending him reeling. In retaliation, Bujin Gaim swung his sword, but Shogun Gaim parried the blade before striking Bujin Gaim in the chest. He swung again, but Bujin Gaim blocked it with the Toxic Arrow. However, Shogun Gaim managed to break his guard and land another critical blow on him. Sparks flew on impact along with black blood splattering the ground.

Bujin Gaim felt the gash across his chest and snarled.

"First blood goes to me," Shogun Gaim proclaimed.

"Lucky shot!" Bujin Gaim shot back with the Toxic Arrow. Shogun Gaim swiftly sidestepped the shot and summoned his own firearm.

[NOBUNAGUN!]

A familiar, hi-tech, purple shotgun rifle appeared in Shogun Gaim's free hand. It now included a bayonet blade attachment folded back against the length of the barrel.

The two exchanged shots, running parallel with each other. The Toxic Arrow's bolts missed but Shogun Gaim's aim was true as he managed to shoot the Blood Drake Tail Sword out of Bujin Gaim's hand, sending it falling into the void.

"My sword! You bastard!" exclaimed Bujin Gaim.

Bujin Gaim aimed his Toxic Arrow, but he was soon relieved of it as well as Shogun Gaim shot it out of his grip and sent it plummeting into the abyss below.

"Stop that!"

"This is my world, and you no longer have any power in it!"

"We'll see about that!"

Bujin Gaim snapped his fingers and dark tendrils shot out of the platform's floor. They wrapped around Shogun Gaim and lifted him into the air, causing him to drop his weapons. Bujin Gaim waved his hand back and forth to slam Shogun Gaim repeatedly to the ground. He then made the tendrils release Shogun Gaim. As Shogun Gaim was about to crash, four tendrils caught him by his wrists and ankles, keeping him suspended in the air.

"Now that I've softened you up, it's time to tear you apart."

Bujin Gaim spread his arms apart and the tendrils began to pull on Shogun Gaim's limbs, threatening to tear him to pieces. Shogun Gaim gritted his teeth to keep from screaming as he felt himself being pulled apart in four directions.

"I won't give up!" Shogun Gaim shouted. "You hear me!?"

"It doesn't matter how strong a will to live you have. You'll die and I'll take your body, forever."

Shogun Gaim gritted his teeth as he was pulled to his limits. He felt like his arms and legs were being pulled out of their sockets.

"I...need...help...!" Shogun Gaim grunted as he was slowly being pulled apart by his limbs. He silently prayed for a miracle.

And he got one.

[RYUJIN!]

All of a sudden, a blue dragon of light came out of nowhere. It snapped the tendrils in its jaws before it snatched Shogun Gaim out of the air.

"WHAT!?"

The blue dragon of light gently put Shogun Gaim on his feet. Shogun Gaim was awed by the sight of the blue dragon. The blue dragon then began to morph as it changed into a more humanoid shape. When the light surrounding it faded, Shogun Gaim was looking into a mirror.

He was looking at Ryujin Gaim, complete with the Ryujin Raiment and armed with the Ryujinmaru.

"You called for a miracle?" Ryujin Gaim asked rhetorically.

No one was more shocked than Bujin Gaim as he reeled at the sight of two Gaims.

"WHAT!? NOW THERE ARE TWO OF YOU!? HOW!?"

Ryujin Gaim and Shogun Gaim shared a look of understanding and turned to face their common foe.

"Nothing is impossible in the realm of the mind!" Shogun Gaim started.

"A strong imagination can beat the impossible!" added Ryujin Gaim.

They stood back to back, crossing their arms.

"Double Trouble!"

"We're Two-in-One!"

"Double Riders!"

They then struck a heroic pose together. It was Kamen Rider Ichigo's signature pose as they stood side-by-side, mirroring each other for symmetry.

"WE ARE KAMEN RIDER GAIM!"

The Double Gaim Riders shared a hi-five before facing Bujin Gaim.

"Let's win this fight with our super spectacular co-op play!" both Gaims announced as they flicked their wrists, and charged towards Bujin Gaim.

Bujin Gaim threw his cape up as Ryujin Gaim attacked from the right, shielding himself. He then morphed his cape into a spike and struck Ryujin Gaim with it, knocking him down.

Shogun Gaim hung back and fired from a distance before he closed in when he saw an opening. The bullets hit a barrier and Bujin Gaim waved his hand, sending Shogun Gaim flying.

Ryujin Gaim and Shogun Gaim regrouped. Even without any weapons and outnumbered, Bujin Gaim was still a formidable opponent.

"We gotta shut his powers down."

"Any ideas?"

"No, not really."

"Well, we better think of something quick or it's game over-WATCH OUT!"

Ryujin Gaim shielded himself and his twin from Bujin Gaim's red lightning with a barrier of blue lightning. The red lightning harmlessly splashed off the blue barrier.

As Ryujin Gaim protected himself and his twin, Shogun Gaim got an idea.

"Hey, I got an idea!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! Let's show him the power of the Shoku Faction."

Ryujin Gaim's smile matched Shogun Gaim's.

"Let's do it!"

Ryujin Gaim dispersed the barrier.

[GREEN DRAGON CRESCENT BLADE!]

[VIPER SPEAR!]

Ryujin Gaim summoned the weapons, arming himself with Kanu's signature polearm while Chouhi's trademark spear appeared in Shogun Gaim's hands.

The two Riders deflected Bujin Gaim's lightning with their weapons before they rushed towards him. Caught by surprise, Bujin Gaim was struck by the Green Dragon Crescent Blade as Ryujin Gaim slashed him across the chest with it.

"ARGH!"

Then Shogun Gaim drove the Viper Spear into Bujin Gaim's stomach, sending him reeling back.

"GAH! DAMN YOU!"

Using his power, Bujin Gaim re-summoned his Blood Drake Tail Sword and swung, driving his two opponents back.

"Next!" Ryujin Gaim called.

[SILVER FLASH!]

[DRAGON FANG!]

Replacing their weapons, Ryujin Gaim gripped Bacho's cross yari while Shogun Gaim wielded Chou'un's bident. They attacked him with thrusts and jabs as Bujin Gaim used his sword to deflect their blows. Together, they managed to break through his guard and pierce him in the chest. Bujin Gaim was lifted into the air before he was thrown back to the ground.

"You're going to pay for that!" Bujin Gaim snapped as he picked himself and charged at them.

[BLUNT SHATTERED BONE!]

Ryujin Gaim smashed Gien's massive kanabo against Bujin Gaim's sword, disarming him before smashing him in the face. He then sent him skyward with an upward swing.

"He's all yours!" Ryujin Gaim called to his twin.

[HURRICANE PENG!]

Shogun Gaim aimed with Kochu's signature bow and fired a multitude of arrows which pierced Bujin Gaim's armor. He screamed as the arrows skewered him as he plummeted to the ground.

Bujin Gaim groaned as he picked himself up, just in time to see both Gaims coming at him with a pair of identical swords.

[DRAGON CLAW SWORD!]

"YOU BASTARDS!" Bujin Gaim roared as he brought back his Toxic Arrow and fired the corrosive rounds at them. The holy swords glowed as Shogun Gaim and Ryujin Gaim used them to deflect the Toxic Arrow's acidic bolts.

Once they closed the distance, both Gaims swung their copies of Ryuubi's Dragon Claw Sword and slashed Bujin Gaim across the chest, leaving an X-shaped gash. He screamed as black blood burst from the wound.

The Gaims attacked relentlessly, inflicting agonizing wounds on the demonic Rider. Bujin Gaim tried to use the Toxic Arrow to defend himself, but it shattered to pieces when it connected with the Dragon Claw Swords.

[RYUJIN/DAI SHOGUN SQUASH!]

"Hyah!" both Gaims shouted as they stabbed Bujin Gaim at the same time. The energy burst from the swords caused an explosion that flung Bujin Gaim backward.

Bujin Gaim lay on the ground but slowly began to recover as he forced himself to stand back up. His body had sustained critical damage as he felt agonizing pain shooting throughout his whole form.

And it was all because of them.

"HOW ARE YOU STILL SO STRONG, GAIM!? WHAT IS YOUR SECRET!? TELL ME!" Bujin Gaim demanded loudly.

How could Nagata's willpower overcome Bujin Gaim's god-like strength?

"It's no secret, Nise," answered Ryujin Gaim.

"It's really quite obvious, but we'll tell you anyway," added Shogun Gaim.

"We're stronger because we're not alone."

"We're stronger because we have them."

Bujin Gaim's eyes widened as the Shoku Warriors appeared, assembled with both Gaims.

"We're stronger because we have something to fight for. We're strong because our family is here with us," finished both Gaims in unison as images of their parents, both biological and adoptive, and their godmothers assembled with the Shoku Warriors.

Bujin Gaim could take no more.

"Damn you...damn you..." Bujin Gaim growled furiously, as he was mentally driven to the edge.

[SEIFUKU SPARKING!]

"JUST DISAPPEAR WITH YOUR SENTIMENTAL RUBBISH!"

A dark aura surrounded Bujin Gaim whilst he spun in place, forming a tornado of dark menacing power that lifted him higher and higher. He then performed a dropkick as he rapidly rotated, his cape wrapping around him to form a living drill.

"No, you don't!" Ryujin Gaim shouted as he initiated his own finisher.

[SOIYA! RYUJIN SPARKING!]

An electrified aura exploded off Ryujin Gaim before he leaped into the air. Electrical energy burst out of his extended right leg as he performed a flying kick, heading to intercept Bujin Gaim and counter his finisher.

"DAI RYUJIN RIDER KICK!"

The collision created an explosion that sent both Ryujin Gaim and Bujin Gaim falling out of the air.

"You're up, me!" Ryujin Gaim prompted his twin into action.

[SOIYA! DAI SHOGUN SPARKING!]

Shogun Gaim fired the Nobunagun, sending a purple energy orb flying towards Bujin Gaim. The sphere hit and expanded, trapping Bujin Gaim in a floating purple energy bubble. Bujin Gaim bashed his fists against the energy bubble, but it wouldn't break no matter how hard he tried.

Ryujin Gaim landed on his feet and summoned his weapon.

[HINAWA DAIDAI DJ JU!]

"NOW, GET THE HELL OUT OF ME!" Ryujin Gaim and Shogun Gaim yelled in unison.

[SOIYA! RYUJIN SPARKING!]

[LOCK OFF!]

Shogun Gaim also removed his Dai Shogun Lockseed and loaded it into the Drive Bay of his Nobunagun.

[LOCK ON!]

Ryujin Gaim aimed the DJ Gun at Bujin Gaim while Shogun Gaim leveled his charging Nobunagun at the demon as well.

[DAI SHOGUN CHARGE!]

"DAI RYUJIN NO SEIFUKU HOU (Great Dragon God's Conquest Cannon)!"

Ryujin Gaim and Shogun Gaim roared as they pulled the triggers, rapidly unloading the Nobunagun and DJ Gun's united firepower upon Bujin Gaim, blasting him mercilessly.

At the same time, the Infinite Armory fired upon Bujin Gaim. Weapons of all kinds of shapes and sizes continuously smashed into the vengeful specter, dealing critical damage as they removed vital chunks from his body.

They were truly devastating strikes with a power worthy of conquerors.

Bujin Gaim was obliterated in a rain of steel and firepower.

It was over...

Suddenly, Shogun Gaim pivoted around and drove the Nobunagun's bayonet straight into Bujin Gaim.

Feigning his destruction, the Dark Rider had tried to ambush them from behind.

The demonic Dark Rider froze as the bayonet pierced his heart.

Shogun Gaim withdrew the bayonet. The blade then folded at a right angle over the muzzle, like a scythe. He then swung, lobbing Bujin Gaim's head right off.

Bujin Gaim's head rolled on the ground before it came to a stop. Shogun Gaim walked over to it and looked down, pumping his Nobunagun.

"Fool me once, shame on you." Shogun Gaim leveled his Nobunagun at Bujin Gaim's head at point blank range.

"Fool me twice, shame on me," Ryujin Gaim added.

"Now, embrace the darkness and rest in peace," they finished in unison.

Shogun Gaim squeezed the trigger, blasting Bujin Gaim's head to pieces.

Now, it was over.

Ryujin Gaim patted Shogun Gaim's shoulder and said, "Good job."

"Thanks," Shogun Gaim accepted, still feeling weird since he was technically speaking with himself. He didn't want this to be a trick like the last time when he thought he finally defeated Bujin Gaim.

"Hope this means it's finally over."

Unfortunately, for them, it wasn't over quite yet. The ground under their feet soon morphed into a pool of black tar and they were starting to sink into it.

"Oh, come on!" Shogun Gaim shouted as limbs shot out of the tar pit and grabbed hold of him and his double.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Ryujin Gaim shouted as he struggled only to sink deeper in the tar pit with Shogun Gaim.

If that wasn't bad enough, a gigantic version of Bujin Gaim appeared. He stood in the middle of the void, looming over them, as he looked down upon them as if they were a couple of ants. In fact, compared to him, they were the size of ants.

"THIS IS MY WORLD NOW, GAIM. IN HERE, I AM A GOD! YOU CAN'T DEFEAT ME HERE! YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT ME! SO WHY DON'T YOU BE A GOOD BOY AND JUST DIE ALREADY?"

Bujin Gaim continued to relish the sight of both Gaims as they sunk deeper into the tar pit. Only their heads remained above the surface. Once they both went under, they would be gone forever, and Bujin Gaim would gain a permanent residence.


Meanwhile, back in the real world, Ryuubi was ready to destroy Bujin Gaim's Blood Orange Lockseed.

"Embrace the darkness and rest in peace," Ryuubi quoted Nagata.

Fueled by her determination, the sword glowed with holy light. She let out a battle cry and brought her blade down on the unholy Lockseed.

It didn't break immediately, but it did crack from the initial strike.

Ryuubi struck the Lockseed repeatedly until it finally shattered to pieces.


Suddenly, Bujin Gaim was struck by a burst of agonizing pain as he screamed.

"WHAT!? WHAT IS HAPPENING!?" Bujin Gaim demanded. He felt like he was being repeatedly stabbed with a sword. "WHAT'S GOING ON!? THIS IS YOUR DOING, ISN'T IT GAIM!?"

Both Ryujin Gaim and Shogun Gaim managed to climb out of the tar pit once they stopped sinking. As they rose out of it, their bodies flashed as they fused back together and changed back into Nagata.

"It looks like you're being exorcised right now," said Nagata as he witnessed Bujin Gaim's agony. The gigantic demon's armor was cracking, spilling his black blood on the ground.

"THIS ISN'T OVER!" yelled Bujin Gaim in defiance.

"Actually it is over, for you that is," Nagata countered.

"IT CAN'T END LIKE THIS! I WON'T ALLOW IT!"

"You're a menace, Nise. Always have been and always will be. You're like a cockroach that refuses to die. All you do is just crawl away and hide in your hole, waiting for an opportunity to emerge and cause more harm. But when that happens, there will be people who will rise up to stop you."

"AS LONG AS YOU WALK THIS PATH, GAIM, YOU WILL ONLY KNOW SUFFERING!"

"And I am prepared to take that suffering if it means fighting for a better tomorrow! Now, just do everyone in the world a favor already-GO! TO! HELL!"


Meanwhile, Idunn was in Helheim Forest with a torch and a bottle of oil. She gazed down at Nise's remains. They were stripped of all his flesh, leaving behind a skeleton with his clothing. The skull was in pieces since Iori had blasted it open with his Budou Ryuhou.

She turned the bottle over, pouring the oil all over Nise's remains. Once she soaked the bones in oil, she proceeded to set them on fire.

If there was one thing she knew about spirits, it was that torching their remains should finally put them to rest.

She just hoped it worked on Bujin Gaim.

As the remains continue to burn, Idunn turned around and exited out of a portal she just opened. If all went according to plan, Bujin Gaim would be gone for good.


Bujin Gaim suddenly went silent. It was eerie and unnerving.

What was he going to do next?

All of a sudden, he let loose an inhuman, maniacal laugh.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! IT LOOKS LIKE THE GODS OF FORTUNE SMILES UPON YOU AGAIN, GAIM! BUT I'LL BE BACK! UNTIL THEN, ENJOY SEEING ME IN YOUR NIGHTMARES! HAHAHAHAHAHA-AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Bujin Gaim released an inhuman shriek as he started to melt while flames rapidly burst all over his body. His mouth opened and he screamed while spewing flaming tar like an erupting volcano.

His visor shattered and his eyes dissolved. Dark smoke spewed from his empty eye sockets.

His screams continued as he gradually dissolved into a pile of inert black sludge that soon vanished into the void of Nagata's subconscious.


"AAAAAAaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh...!"

A shrill scream of agony escaped from the Lockseed pieces until it went dead silent.

Finally, Bujin Gaim was no more.


In a flash of light, Nagata's surroundings changed back into the interior of his family's restaurant. The Nobunaga spirit garment returned and hovered in front of him.

"Thank you," Nagata said gratefully.

The spirit garment nodded as it accepted Nagata's thanks before it faded away.

While he was relieved that Bujin Gaim was finally vanquished, his last declaration still filled Nagata with dread.

Hopefully, they were just empty words and not a prophecy that would come true.

He took a moment to gaze at his surroundings. This restaurant was his home for so many years and he left it all behind, but it still remained in his memories. There were some fond memories here, and he would never forget any of them.

He pictured his family sitting at one of the tables, with him joining them as they enjoyed a wonderful meal.

But that was all in the past. He had a new life now.

It wasn't always peaceful, and it wasn't always pleasant.

It was a time of great conflict as innocent people suffered and died.

But this was the life he chose, where he could pick up a sword and use it for its intended purpose.

He would live with the choices he made, consequences and all.


Ryuubi huffed and suddenly gasped as Nagata suddenly stood up. He lurched forward and he vomited black sludge which came spewing out of his mouth like water from a geyser. Ryuubi covered her mouth as Gien and Ryofu just watched.

Nagata continued to spew the black substance which formed a huge puddle on the floor. When he was done, Nagata collapsed to his hands and knees as he coughed, wiping the excess from his lips.

"Nagata-sama!" Ryuubi cried out, hoping it was him. Nagata looked up at her and their eyes met.

Staring back at her were pure silver eyes, the eyes of the man she had fallen in love with.

"Touka..." Nagata whispered as he took her hand and she helped him up. He coughed out some more of the black goo when he saw the shattered remains of the Blood Orange Lockseed lying on the floor.

"Nagata-sama, is it really you?" Ryuubi asked hopefully.

"It's me."

Nagata gave her a smile, his genuine smile. He leaned in to give her a kiss but she stopped him with a finger against his lips.

"Touka?"

"You may want to wash out your mouth first."

"Oh, right. The black stuff."

Ryuubi put her arms around him in a loving embrace.

"Let's just settle with this for now."

He returned the hug.

"Thank you, Touka. You saved me."

"Nagata-sama, thank the gods, you're back." Ryuubi softly whispered as they embraced.

"Touka, this is real, right? It's not a dream, right?" he asked.

"It's real. This is all real." Ryuubi cried tears of joy. "You're back. You're finally back."

Nagata looked at Ryuubi and saw that the front of her blouse was torn open, causing him to frown deeply. His frown deepened when he saw the nasty bruise on her cheek. He gently caressed her face. She hissed as his fingers brushed against the bruise.

"Touka, I'm so sorry."

"It's alright. It was not your fault."

"No, it's not alright. I was almost too late and he could've really hurt you."

"Nagata-sama, it's alright. You saved me in the nick of time."

"But..."

"No buts, Nagata-sama. Just be glad that it's all over."

"Yeah, it's finally over..."

Gien immediately approached the couple with Ryofu.

"Touka-sama! Are you alright?"

"Enya, I'm fine," Ryuubi insisted, smiling reassuringly.

Gien got down on her hands and knees and bowed deeply. She felt ashamed.

"Forgive me, Touka-sama! I couldn't protect you!" Gien was ashamed. She couldn't look Ryuubi in the eye because she failed in her duty.

"Gien, please get up," Nagata said and Gien looked up at Nagata. "It's not your fault."

Gien looked up at Ryuubi who gave her a reassuring smile, and she smiled back after much hesitation.

The Round Table room was suddenly crowded when everyone barged in.

"We heard a noise! What's going on!?" Kanu yelled.

"And why isn't he tied up?" Karasu demanded as she pointed at Nagata.

"It's alright, Kara-chan," Nagata said calmly.

"Naga-kun?" Karasu blinked. She saw his silver eyes. Was this a trick or was he truly no longer possessed?

"Nagata, is that really you?" Iori asked.

"It's me," Nagata reassured them. "It's really me. I'm no longer possessed. He's gone." He just felt so relieved.

"Then step out of the circle," Iori commanded. "If you're not possessed, it will let you out."

Nagata stepped forward and at the very edge of the circle where an invisible wall would stop him, he passed right through.

It let him through, confirming that Bujin Gaim was gone and Nagata Oda was no longer possessed.

Nagata saw Ryofu carrying Sekito and asked, "Is Sekito going to be okay?"

Ryofu gently rubbed Sekito's head as she answered, "He'll be fine. He was very brave."

Nagata smiled at the brave little dog and gently scratched under his chin. Sekito responded by licking his fingers.

"Good boy. You're such a brave boy. A good and brave boy."

It was a tender moment and nothing could ruin it.

Suddenly, Kada barged into the room and yelled, "I did it! I finally did it! Now we can exorcise the mogwai!" He saw Nagata standing outside the circle. "Argh! The demon's out!"

"Kada-sensei, relax," said Nagata. "It's me."

"Begone, Demon!" Kada slapped the talisman onto Nagata's face. "Now, everyone! Quickly chant with me! Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao! Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao! Come on, everyone! While the demon is stunned!"

Nagata peeled the talisman off his face.

"Kada-sensei, it's me. I'm not possessed anymore."

"Are you really?" Kada questioned skeptically as he fanned out two sets of talismans, ready to combat dark forces.

"Yes, it's really me. He's gone."

"But how?" Kada questioned.

"It was Touka. She saved me," Nagata explained.

"So, you're saying that I did all that work for nothing!?" Kada cried in dismay. "Do you realize how many hours it took me to come up with these talismans and the spell to banish that evil spirit!? Now it's all for nothing!"

"Look, the next time we have another mogwai problem, we'll come to you," Iori promised. "OK?"

"Fine, at least my efforts won't go to waste. Anyway, congratulations of not being possessed anymore, Nagata-sama."

"Thank you," Nagata replied. He asked Iori, "Mogwai? Like those cute little fuzzy things from 'Gremlins'?"

"Demonic vengeful spirit," Iori clarified.

"Ah, I see," Nagata replied as he nodded in comprehension. "Hey, Kada. Do you mind looking at my nose? It kinda hurts."

Karasu averted her gaze in shame.

Kaku saw the mess that Nagata left behind and glared balefully at everyone present.

"Seriously, can't you people ever keep this place clean for more than a day?"


Nagata received a checkup from Kada. The doctor insisted on checking his Ki to make sure that Bujin Gaim's possessing had left no ill effects on Nagata's body.

Kada was just being thorough. He also made sure to help fix Nagata's nose. Karasu had broken it in a fit of rage caused by Bujin Gaim. She apologized for it, though, and Nagata forgave her. He understood that it had been a stressful situation for her.

"Your Ki is clean," Kada confirmed before handing Nagata a cup. "Drink this."

"Thank you," Nagata said as he accepted the cup and downed the herbal remedy. He gagged once he finished. "What was that?"

"Herbal tea mixed with ashes from one of my talismans."

"Yeah, I thought I could taste the ash."

"And your nose will be alright," Kada added.

"It hurts when I sneeze, though," Nagata responded.

"So, what are you going to do with the pieces of Bujin Gaim's Lockseed?" Kada asked.

"I'm going to put them in a hole, light them on fire, and watch them burn."


Nagata took the pieces of Bujin Gaim's Lockseed to the cemetery and dug a hole in the ground. He then dropped the pieces into the hole. He sprinkled oil all over the pieces. Finally, he took his flint and steel and used them to start a fire. The pieces lit right up.

He wasn't alone, though. Kanu was with him. She didn't feel it was safe for him to be out on his own at night.

"Aisha, when I was possessed, I know I said horrible things and I'm sorry."

"It was not you saying those things, Nagata-sama."

"But, still-"

"You have nothing to feel sorry for."

Yes, he did. Nagata remembered every terrible deed Bujin Gaim committed while he was in his body. He would have to live with those memories along with the guilt and shame for the rest of his life.

Once the fire died down, Nagata covered the hole in the dirt, burying the Lockseed and the memory of Bujin Gaim forever.


Nagata later returned to his room. He needed to reevaluate a few things. The things Bujin Gaim said still stuck to his mind, creating doubt. The things Bujin Gaim had done while possessing him would always haunt him. Bujin Gaim may be gone, but he would always leave a lasting impression on Nagata.

"Did I make the right choice?" Nagata wondered.

Had he made the right choice of coming back to this world?

It was dangerous. Since coming back, he had almost died and he also got himself possessed.

Back when Ukitsu sent him and the others to their own world, he was reunited with his family. However, it just didn't feel right, and he knew why.

It just didn't seem fair that he should be safe when everyone in this world was in danger.

It also didn't feel right without Kanu and the others by his side. His life just felt empty without them.

He never once thought he would ever fall in love in this world. He just wanted to find a way home, at least at first. Instead, he found a new home here in the era of the Three Kingdoms.

'Home is where the heart is', and his heart belonged here in Shoku.

It was in this place where he could be something more than just a mere cook or student. He was someone important here. He was a king and a hero. It just wouldn't be right for him to leave his kingdom to fend for itself.

Still, he had to wonder, if he had made the right choice.

The door opened and Ryuubi let herself in.

"Nagata-sama, how are you feeling?"

He turned and smile warmly at her.

"I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm OK. Don't worry."

"Then, would it be alright, if I joined you in bed tonight?"

"Sure."

"Oh, I'll go ask if Aisha and Rinrin would like to join us too."

"Sure, the more the merrier. Let's make it a slumber party. But first..." Nagata kissed her deeply and passionately. After breaking the kiss, he asked, smiling slyly, "How about we use it first, privately? I haven't exactly thanked you properly for saving me."

Ryuubi blushed, catching his meaning, and nodded. They both climbed onto the bed and into each other's arms. Their lips connected again as they slowly abandoned their clothing.

He didn't need to wonder if he had made the right choice anymore. He had grown up and changed so much in this world. He was a completely different person than he was since his accidental arrival.

He would take responsibility for his own choices, right or wrong, and live with them. He would accept the consequences of his own decisions.

Right or wrong, he had made his decision, and he was going to see things through until the end.


Fruits of the Tree, Yggdrasil

[DAI AKUMA, SEKAI SEIFUKU! (Great Devil, World Conquest!)]

Seifuku Arms (Conquest Arms): Bujin Gaim's new Arms after he takes possession of Nagata's body. The appearance is based on an armored warlord. This form is comparable to Nagata's own Ryujin Arms as it is Bujin Gaim's own ultimate form. In this form, Bujin Gaim's stats have all skyrocketed, allowing him to overpower four Sovereigns at once. He can easily dispatch a group of Riders by himself with his enhanced superhuman speed and strength. In addition, he is armed with several god-like powers and abilities that make him a deadly opponent.

Blood Drake Tail Sword: Bujin Gaim's primary and signature weapon. It is a sword with a red jagged blade that resembles a spiked dragon's tail. Bujin Gaim is capable of altering the sword's size and even length. It can even assume a whip sword form for long-ranged attacks.

Toxic Arrow: A Sonic Arrow that Bujin Gaim altered with his power. It fires corrosive energy bolts, hence the name. Instead of a drawing mechanism to fire the acidic energy bolts, it uses a trigger mechanism like a gun or crossbow.

Cape: Bujin Gaim's cape is not technically a weapon, but he has used it as such. He altered it to become a spike or used it as a shield.

Bujin Gaim himself has demonstrated the following abilities:

Invulnerability: He is capable of shrugging off hits without a problem. However, this does not make him invincible. A strong enough attack can still cause damage.

Enhanced Strength: Bujin Gaim, in his Conquest Arms, has demonstrated incredibly physical might as he was able to overpower the Four Sovereigns single-handedly.

Enhanced Senses: He could detect the presence of Gaim, Idunn, and Ryugen while they were hiding. Either he could detect their presence or had very good hearing.

Regeneration: He can recover from crippling damage with ease by reattaching his limbs. He is also able to regenerate his damaged chest. His regenerative powers are so advanced that he is also able to regenerate from his Lockseed as long as it remains intact.

Tentacles: Now that he's no longer human, Bujin Gaim's body contains a nest of extendable tentacles that he can use as additional appendages for combat or murder.

Telekinesis: He can move objects and people with his mind. He easily threw back Gaim's weapons with a wave of his hand. This ability also allows him to strangle a person without touching them.

Flight: By turning his cape into a pair of bat-like wings, Bujin Gaim becomes capable of flight.

Electrokinesis: Bujin Gaim is able to fire lightning from his hands.

Aerokinesis: Bujin Gaim gains the power to manipulate air after equipping himself with the Ryujin Raiment.

Energy Blasts: Bujin Gaim is capable of firing energy blasts from his limbs and body.

Portal Creation: Bujin Gaim can easily open portals between the human world and Helheim Forest. He can also open a portal to any place he wants to go.

Chlorokinesis: He summoned up vines from the ground to bind the Shoku Warriors.

Assimilation: He can acquire the powers, weapons, and abilities of anything or anyone he devours. This is the ability he used to change into Kachidoki Arms after swallowing the Kachidoki Lockseed.

Generating Weapons: He can generate the weapons of the Armored War Gods he absorbs. He demonstrated this by summoning Ryugen's Budou Ryuhou, Kiwi Gekirin, Idunn's Sword Bringer and Gaim's DJ Gun.

Spawning Minions: He can spawn an army of Black Sproutmen to do his bidding. The Black Sproutmen can also change their appearance based on Bujin Gaim's imagination.

Possession: Also as a last resort, and as long as his Lockseed remains intact, Bujin Gaim can possess a vessel. Consent is unnecessary. While possessing someone, he has access to their memories and complete control over their mindscape. He is also indestructible and cannot be killed when possessing someone. He also cannot be expelled unless the Lockseed is removed.

Immortality: As long as his Blood Orange Lockseed remains intact, Bujin Gaim can revive again.

Transformation: Bujin Gaim is able to access a large and demonic tree-like form as a last resort. This form gives him the ability to spawn Black Sproutmen and fire energy blasts from the tentacles on top.

He did suffer from some weaknesses, though:

Arrogance: Because of his new superior power, Bujin Gaim is prideful and arrogant. Instead of finishing off his enemies, he took his time and played with them despite having the power to destroy them with a single thought.

Demon-binding circle: A powerful demon-binding circle is enough to keep him trapped in one place. It can also drain him of his strength and power, leaving him as weak as an average human.

Blessed and holy weapons: Blessed and holy weapons, like Ryuubi's sword, can harm him.

Blood Orange Lockseed: Bujin Gaim's source of power and his most fatal weakness. His entire existence depends on the Lockseed as it contains his consciousness. Ryuubi shattered the Lockseed, causing Bujin Gaim to cease to exist (or so it would seem).

Burning the remains: A spirit can be put to rest by burning its earthly remains. This applies to demons who were once humans as well. As Bujin Gaim was born from Nise's hatred, then the immolation of his remains would finally put the demonic spirit to rest. However, this method may not always work if the spirit finds something else to bind its existence to, which can be either an inanimate object with sentimental value or even a person.

*I based Seifuku Arms on an image of Bujin Gaim Kiwami Arms drawn by RamenDriver. I made some alterations like taking away the fruit basket chest painting.


[RYUJIN! SPARKLING ORANGE! NOBUNAGA! DAI SHOGUN ARMS! SEKAI NO OU! SHINING DAIROKUTEN MAOU! (Great Shogun Arms! King of the World! The Shining Demon King of the 6th Heaven!)]

Dai Shogun Arms: This is Gaim's hybrid form with the Ryujin Ride Wear serving as the base. It is accessed with the Dai Shogun Lockseed. The Sparkling Orange Arms acts as the primary armor with the Nobunaga Spirit Armor acting as an additional armor. As this form was created by Nagata in his mindscape, it is highly unlikely it will appear in reality.

The primary weapon of this form is the Nobunagun which has made one appearance prior to this form's debut. The Nobunagun now includes a bayonet blade for stabbing and slashing.


KRC: And so concludes the Revived BG Arc, and I have to say it was pretty emotional for me to write, not to mention intense. Well, Bujin Gaim and Nise's essence is gone, but is he really gone for good? I mean, he may get a sequel appearance like in every horror films. We can only hope since I had fun with this depiction of him. Hope it fixes any damage when I attempted to make an ironic twist and gave Nise the armor. May not be my best decision, but on the bright side if it led to this then I guess there were some hidden benefits, even if they only came true now.

It was pretty frightening for me since I tried to make Bujin Gaim as inhuman as possible and well I think I succeeded the best I could. If you say I didn't, you are welcome to argue. I can handle negative reviews and constructive criticism. Just no flames.

I think I had fun with Bujin Gaim being all twisted and just generally evil in a hardcore kind of way. The things he said and did to mess with everyone's heads were like those Exorcist movies. Even when he tried to hurt Ryuubi...OK, I don't think rape is OK. Maybe it's fine in entertainment since it doesn't really hurt anyone, but you gotta use things like death, rape, and murder in a way that can add more drama and suspense to the story. Not for a cheap thrill. No. no cheap thrill. Besides, did you guys think I was going to let that A-hole actually do it? If anything it was a Death Flag that got triggered.

We also get to see the internal struggle that took place within Nagata as he fought with Bujin Gaim. We all know that it was Ryuubi who killed Bujin Gaim here, but I think a lot of people wanted to know what was happening on the inside. I also added where Idunn torched his bones. It was an idea I got from the drama Supernatural. I know I wrote that Bujin Gaim took Nise's body. But the truth was he only took the flesh and left the bones behind. He really should've tried to hide them better.

And yes, I gave Gaim ANOTHER power up. Let the angry comments come. Yes, I have been told by some reviewers I keep making Nagata into a 'special snowflake' and perhaps I have been treating him as so. Yes, being a protagonist doesn't immediately make you special. You still have to earn it. But, hey, I was going to kill off Bujin Gaim anyway. I might as well end it with a bang in Nagata's head. Having him DOUBLE UP and fight as two was a last-minute addition. I mean, I saw Kamen Rider Ex-Aid's recent episode and him using the Mighty Brothers XX Gashat. I saw what it could do and decided to somehow incorporate that into the chapter. It worked out great in the end. I even put in a funny omake that mirrors when it happened in Ex-Aid.

Anyway, I originally never planned for Bujin Gaim's arc to extend this far. It was supposed to end right after Nanamomo sacrificed herself, but as I read the draft it just didn't feel satisfactory. Plus, I've been getting some reviews saying all my villains were just bland.

So, I took that as a challenge and upgraded Bujin Gaim into the threat he should've been and I think I was pretty successful.

I made him twisted, wicked, witty, and all around overpowered to the point that the heroes couldn't defeat him. But I still managed to give him a weakness. The whole 'mogwai' (vengeful spirit) thing was something I found via research, and it truly did fit Bujin Gaim's new identity. And no, it's not that kind of mogwai from the 'Gremlins' movies if that's what you're thinking.

So, what do you guys think? Was he evil enough for you? Was he twisted and sadistic enough for you? Did he get under your skin? Did he leave a lasting positive/negative impression on you? Do you want him to make a return someday? Please, give your answers in the review.

Hey, Buster, Paladin, what do you guys think? Think I did the trick with Bujin Gaim to make him more memorable?

Please read, review, favorite and follow! And no fire trolls too! Hope you're happy with the new and improved Bujin Gaim I made to your liking as a hardcore villain for this arc.

BL92: Yes! Finally, that guy is gone for good. That guy is giving me the goosebumps and scared the crud out of me. And I know I said this before, but I really hate that rotten fruit guy.

TFP: He's gone! He's finally gone! This confrontation was drawn out quite longer than I expected. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. Reader's opinion I guess. Anyway, Nise is gone for good and so is Bujin Gaim. Now things can go back to normal, or whatever passes for normal for the Armored War Gods. I just hope he stays dead for good, assuming that he won't be back from the dead again.


That night, while everyone slept, Nagata, Chouhi, Ryuubi, and Kanu were sleeping cozily in his bed. They all agreed to it since none of them wanted to sleep alone after what they had been through.

As they slumbered soundly, none of them were aware of the danger they were in.

Jam stood menacingly by their bedside. They were completely unaware of her presence as she loomed over them with cold fury and murderous intent.

Jam raised her sword as she glared coldly at them.

It would be over quickly.

However, she lowered her weapon as she changed her mind.

"Not yet..."

She had plenty of chances in the future and decided to spare them, for now.

Gazing softly at Nagata, Jam caressed his hair and face.

"Soon...you will be all mine..."

She silently dissolved into a swarm of insects and snuck out the room.

Meanwhile, a stray dog was sniffing around the graveyard. It stopped directly on the spot where the charred pieces of Bujin Gaim's Lockseed were buried. The dog started to dig up the spot.

Something black and viscous emerged from the spot. The black substance shot straight at the dog and forced its way down the poor canine's throat.

The dog panicked and flailed around, spasming before it gradually relaxed.

As it opened its eyes, they glowed red.


AWG CHIBI OMAKE #14A: NUTCRACKER

BG-Nagata had Ryuubi pinned down.

"Now, Ryuubi. Allow me to show you what a real man can do."

Ryuubi looked down and saw that her knee was lined up. She locked eyes with BG-Nagata's.

"I'm sorry."

"What are you apologizing for-FUCK?!"

Ryuubi had driven her knee straight into his groin.

BG-Nagata rolled off Ryuubi and put his hands on his injured groin, whimpering in pain. Ryuubi got up and left the circle.

"Sorry, Nagata-sama."


AWG CHIBI OMAKE #14B: SEKITO THE WONDER DOG

"Please, don't do this," Ryuubi begged.

"Keep begging. I like it when they beg," BG-Nagata smiled and licked her cheek. "You taste good."

Sekito barked loudly and leaped into the circle.

He bit BG-Nagata right in the crotch.

"AAAARRRGGGGGHHHHH!" BG-Nagata screamed as he released Ryuubi. "GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" Sekito had a really good grip on his balls. "AAAARRRRGGGGGHHH! THIS IS THE WORST PAIN EVER! NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO THIS KIND OF PAIN!"

Ryofu stepped into the circle and punched BG-Nagata in the face, knocking him to the floor.

"Ow! My face!"

Sekito released BG-Nagata's crotch and padded over to Ryofu. Ryofu picked up her dog and smiled.

"Good boy."

"The pain...all I know is pain..." BG-Nagata whimpered pathetically on the floor.


AWG CHIBI OMAKE #14C: VOMIT WAR

BG-Nagata finished spewing all over Hideyoshi and smiled.

Hideyoshi wiped the stuff off his glasses, glared at BG-Nagata...and vomited right back in his face.

Iori looked ill and turned his head, accidentally barfing in Karasu's face.

Disgusted, Karasu threw up all over Iori.

And then they blew chunks all over each other.

Kaku walked into the room, saw the mess and deadpanned, "I'm not cleaning this up."


AWG CHIBI OMAKE #14D: GETTING CLEAN

Hideyoshi returned the GenesisDriver and Matsubokkuri Energy Lockseed to Kenshin.

"So, what happened?" Kenshin asked.

Hideyoshi avoided eye contact and muttered, "I don't want to talk about it."

Later, Hideyoshi was in the bath and desperately trying to scrub himself clean.

"Gotta get clean, gotta get clean..."

That vomit had gotten to everywhere on him.

"Hideyoshi-kun, would you like me to scrub your back?" Totaku asked as she entered the bathroom in only a towel.

Well then again, maybe it wasn't that bad after all.


AWG CHIBI OMAKE #14E: BG-NAGATA GETS A GOLDEN SHOWER

BG-Nagata laughed as he drove another person away with his words. He might be tied up, but that didn't mean he had to stop having fun. As he threw his head back and laughed louder, his chair tilted backward. He fell flat on the floor with the chair.

"Damn!" BG-Nagata cursed as he tried to get back up. "Damn it! I can't get up! Hey! Hey! Can someone come in here and help me back up!? Hey!"

Ryofu walked into the binding circle and looked down at BG-Nagata's helpless state.

"OK, you. Help me back up," BG-Nagata ordered.

Ryofu stared emotionlessly at BG-Nagata and whistled.

A pack of dogs soon ran right into the room and gathered around BG-Nagata. He did not like the look of this.

"What...what is this...? What are you doing?"

The dogs sniffed BG-Nagata then turned so their butts were facing him. BG-Nagata watched as each of the dogs raised a hind leg. His eyes widened as he realized what they were about to do.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


AWG CHIBI OMAKE #14F: PLAYING RICOCHET

Ryuubi struck the unholy Lockseed with all her might. Instead of breaking the Lockseed, the impact sent it flying towards Gien.

"Enya, watch out!" Ryuubi cried.

Gien ducked and the Blood Orange Lockseed flew over her to bounce off the wall. The Lockseed ricocheted all over the room as the three girls and one dog followed it with their eyes.

Nagata stood up and said, "Finally, he's gone."

"Nagata-sama, watch out!" Ryuubi yelled.

"Ow! Right in the back of my head!"

"Nagata-sama!"

His spirit rose from his body.

"I'm a ghost again!? Seriously!?"


AWG CHIBI OMAKE #14G: DOUBLE OR NOTHING

Gaim was facing a tough opponent. Even Kachidoki Arms wasn't enough. He needed to power up for this fight.

"Double or nothing," Gaim decided as he activated the Ryujin Key and put it in the Kachidoki Lockseed.

[LOCK OPEN! RYUJIN ARMS! DAI RYUOH! SORA NO SEIRYU RISE TO THE THRONE!]

His Kachidoki Arms Armor burst, pieces flying in all direction. This would be the prelude to his change to Ryujin Arms.

[RYUJIN! SPARKLING ORANGE! NOBUNAGA! DAI SHOGUN ARMS! SEKAI NO OU! SHINING DAIROKUTEN MAOU!]

Wait, what?

The light faded and there stood Ryujin Gaim and standing next to him...was another Gaim!?

Kanu and Ryuubi were speechless as they gaped at the sight.

Only Chouhi couldn't keep silent. "THERE'S TWO ONII-CHAN!?"

Ryujin Gaim noticed Shogun Gaim and blinked.

Shogun Gaim looked at Ryujin Gaim and blinked back.

"Eh?"
