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.


Sangokuden Armored War Gods Saga: End of the Armored War Gods

Written By: Kamen Rider Chrome

Beta Reader/Editor: Busterleader92 & Kamen Rider Goji

Interlude: Shaoren, Nenene & Riri


Shaoren was jealous of her friend Rinrin. Now, why would a princess be jealous of a stupid musclehead whose stomach was bigger than their brain?

"I can't believe he's back!" Rinrin cheered excitedly. "He's back! Onii-chan's back!"

"That's great," Shaoren deadpanned, faking a smile and not sharing Rinrin's excitement. "I'm really happy for you."

It was because Rinrin got her big brother back. Now, Shaoren couldn't fault her for being happy that her big brother had come back home. After all, for a long time now, everyone thought he was dead only for him to show up completely out of the blue.

Her Zan-niichan, on the other hand, had not come back yet. He had left them and never returned. Her Zan-niichan just left them without a word, not even a goodbye. That broke the princess' heart.

The only explanation they got was from Shuutai who told them that he needed to go away so he could learn how to control his new powers. He was afraid he might lose control and hurt them. That was all.

Shaoren wondered where he was, what he was doing, or if he was thinking of them. If he was training for their sake, that meant he was, right? There was no way he could just abandon them and forget about them, right?

Nobody could answer these questions for Shaoren. She couldn't even bring them up to her sister since that would just depress her. They had been engaged, after all, and now he was just gone.

Shaoren thought about what she would do or say when she saw him again. She'd be mad and yell at him. She would beat him up for leaving them like that. She was just so angry at him that she wanted him to know how much he hurt them all by abandoning them like that.

And once she let out all the anger, she'd be so relieved and cry, happy to see him again. However, that would not mean she would let him off the hook that easily. He would need to be punished for leaving them and for breaking both her and her big sister's hearts.


Nenene was happy for her big sister figure, Ren. Since Nagata's death, she had been pretty down in the dumps. Thankfully, Sekito and her other pets were around to cheer her up as they could sense when she was in a sad mood. Now that Nagata was back, Ren seemed happier now.

To be honest, Nenene used to be wary of Nagata for being an Armored War God and she was afraid that he would try to steal Ren away from her. Being an orphan, she had never experienced any real kindness. If she wanted something, like money, shelter, or even food, she'd have to work for it. Ren, however, offered all that without expecting anything in return. It was the first time Nenene ever experienced unconditional love. Though, everyone believed that Ren just picked her up like she did with any strays she came across to add to her collection of pets.

So, to repay her, Nenene studied to become a strategist. Growing up on the streets, Nenene became pretty sharp and street smart. Though, being smarter than Ren was not much of an accomplishment. No offense to her, but Ren wasn't an expert at common sense or coming up with strategies. The only reason she got to become a general was because of her superhuman strength. Those that never saw her true self were intimidated but her closest friends knew that behind that strength was a gentle soul and had a soft side for any creatures big or small.

Ren often kept her emotions hidden, except on the battlefield. She could be brutal and ferocious when she wanted to be. After all, she fought to protect everything and everyone that was precious to her. So, when she learned that Nagata had been killed, Nenene could not blame her for being angry at the one who had murdered him.

After the battle with Majin Gaim, Nenene had to console her as Ren cried herself to sleep. Ren stopped grieving after some time, focused on protecting those that were still alive, her family, which included her friends and pets.

But then Nagata came back, with Karasu of all people, and Nenene remembered why she used to hate and fear Armored War Gods. Karasu was like the Armored War Devils. In fact, she used to be one of them. Nenene remembered how they had destroyed her village. It gave her nightmares and now Karasu was back. Why couldn't she have just stayed gone? Why did she have to come back to ruin their lives again?

Nagata's return was met with some suspicion. He was supposed to be dead, right? Well, there was that time he became a ghost but only because his body got stolen. No, this was something different.

According to him, he had been dead and was sent to Purgatory where all the dead Rinshi and Rinrinshi went when they got destroyed. In fact, that meant he was no different from them. He did have the same pale skin tone and his eyes were completely black. If he had not managed to convince them that he was who he claimed to be, then he might've been sent back to Purgatory.

Nagata was accepted but Nenene could sense some tension coming from Iori. The other Armored War God did not like that Nagata and Karasu were back. In fact, he looked ready to murder Karasu. Luckily, Ren and Touka were there to stop him. However, the issue was not over. Nenene knew a grudge when she saw one and Iori would not be satisfied until Karasu was gone. For good.


Riri didn't like it when her daddy was mad. When he got mad, well, he could get violent. Not with her or mommy, though. He'd never do anything to hurt them. However, everyone else was not as lucky as they were.

When Riri heard that Karasu-neechan was back, she had mixed feelings. She used to look up to her like all her big sisters but then she turned out to be a traitor. That made her a bad person. She even made Nagata-niichan do bad things.

Riri still kept the doll Karasu-neechan had made for her. Her daddy wanted her to get rid of it, but her mommy managed to talk him down and let her keep it. She understood why he hated the doll. It was a reminder of Karasu-neechan who had betrayed them. Riri still loved the doll. It wasn't its fault that the person who made it was bad.

But then, Riri spoke with some of the kids that Karasu-neechan had saved. They told her that she had rescued them and their families when the bad guys attacked their homes. She could not save everybody but she managed to rescue them and take them someplace safe. That meant she wasn't bad anymore, right? If she wasn't bad anymore, that meant she was good, right? Her daddy didn't seem to think so but that was because he was still mad at her.

Then Riri learned from her mommy and daddy that Karasu-neechan was dead. She would not be able to hurt them anymore.

Nagata-niichan seemed the saddest about her death.


KRC: Since we haven't seen Shaoren and Nenene much yet here, I thought it would be good to share their perspective. Same for Riri, since she's always been in the background. Also, this provides a closing to this arc since we will soon be moving to the endgame. We'll be heading into the final battle now, people.
