Stage 5: A Second Male IS!?
Sorry for making you wait, I needed a one week break from story writing, but now I'm back to writing. And here's the chapter you've been waiting for.
Note: I do not own Infinite Stratos or Kamen Rider.
"So, you're the rider from the attack of the I.S academy, Kazuraba," Baron said breaking the silence and knows Gaim identity.
Gaim startled as he knows his name from yesterday and realizing what he meant from yesterday. "Is this what you mean about yesterday. The question you asked me?" he asked.
"Yes, and the reason why your weak" Baron said
"What" Gaim growled after hearing what Baron said.
"You should've saved that family while you have the chance of finishing them off," he stated.
"But that family can't defend themselves, I can't just sit stand there and do nothing," Gaim said.
Baron looks stiff of what Gaim said. "Defended the weak can only get in your way, that's why you're being too soft, and a coward" he taunted.
As Gaim clutches his hands and didn't like to be called like a coward. "What did you say" he growled.
"If you wanna fight," Baron said as he points his Banaspear at him. "Then show me your strength!" he shouted.
Gaim stood there before he pulled out his Daidaimaru and combine it with the Musou Saber into a Naginata as he twirls it around. "I accepted!" he shouted.
Before he and Baron charge at each other and clash their weapons and fight.
Not far away, Hakaru made his way here before he sees Gaim and another rider fighting. "Another rider!?" Hakaru gasp to see another one and thought that it was he and Katsuo are the only riders.
"So, it has come to this," a voice said as Hakaru turns around and see the Cloaked figure from before.
"You" Hakaru growled as he was about to get his belt out, the c
A Cloaked figure walks up to him but only seeing Gaim and Baron fighting.
"Gaim and Baron are bound to fight in the future," he said.
While Hakaru wonders why the Cloaked figure said. "What do you mean by that," he asked himself quietly.
The cloaked figure chuckled to himself as he looked at him. "The time will come when those two will fight, I'm just a looker of this event," he said before pulling his arm and opened up as he summons a crack out of nowhere, near Gaim and Baron fight before ran down and headed straight towards it and cross through it.
Before Hakaru was about to after them, he stops for a moment and looks around as he sees the cloaked figure disappeared.
"They will fight for one thing soon," an echoing voice said.
Leaving Hakaru wondering what he meant by Gaim and Baron fighting.

(meanwhile at the I.S Academy)
Everyone is at the arena for the Ichika and Rin fight since yesterday, right now rin is out at the field in her magenta and black with bright orange addition, and a Chinese scimitar on her back. While Ichika is in his I.S Byakushiki with Houki and Cecilia with him.
"Man Rin is my first opponent in the first match" Ichika sigh before a screen pops up of Rin I.S on it.
"Her I.S is called ShenLong," Maya said as she explains the details of Rin I.S. "this model's a close combat type just like you Byakushi."
As Ichika understood her he turns as Cecilia spoke up. "This match is not going to be the same as the one between you and me, so please don't let your guard down" she point out to him.
"Don't get too stressed out, you can with as long you fight like you would during practice?" Houki said the same.
He then turns his heads to the screen where Rin in her I.S the ShenLong. "Uhh geez, I bet it would pretty hurt to get hit by that thing" Ichika sighs.
Before the arena dorm opened up with the announcement speaking.
"OF ALL CONTESTANT PLEASE TO YOU DECORATION POSITION AT THIS TIME."
After that Ichika was preparing to launch at the pad while the girls watch him, as he launched to the battlefield flies up in the air as Rin approaches him.
"If you apologize now, I'll lower the intensity of the pain you're about to endure!" Rin hollered.
"I don't need any favor from you, hit me with your best shot!" Ichika grunted.
"Fine but in your information, the absolute defense isn't so perfect," Rin said. "If you attack is powerful enough to rip through the shield, its possible for you to damage the opponent badly, but not kill."
"I know that alright" he scowled.
"ALL CONTESTANT, YOU MAY COMMENCE THE MATCH AT THIS TIME!"
Rin pulls out her Chinese scimitar as Ichika unsheath his Yukihira, before the two flies towards each other and begin the match.
(Back with Gaim and Baron fight)
Meanwhile, at the forest, Gaim and Baron took their battle theirs after crossing through a crack that cloak figure summons. The two riders kept battling in the forest until they both lock weapons and glare at each other in a standstill.
"So, tell me, what will you use that power for?" Baron demanded.
"I use this power so that I can protect others that can protect themselves" Gaim grunted.
But Baron scuffed after what question Gaim did. "Protecting the weak will only slow you down, the strong will survive" he declared.
"So you don't care about what happened to anyone else!" Gaim hollered before both of them backed up and continue battling.
Not far away, someone was watching their fight with a mask and a gray hazard suit. He watches the two fight with a walkie talkie in his hands. "Sir, I found the two subject nearby, shall I call for backup," he asked through the walkie talkie.
"No, do not process them yet, take their time before our time of meeting face to face," the voice through the walkie talkie said. "Keep watching them and report back to headquarters."
As the man nodded he continued watching Gaim and Baron fight before he pulled out two Lockseed in his hand and press them, summoning two more Elementary Inves. They crash in the two-rider fight and clash them.
"Where'd they came from!" Gaim as he deflected their attack.
As Baron stabbed the Elementary Inves in the chest before kicks it away from the banana rider.
Gaim swings his Daidaimaru downwards at the Elementary Inves center before he turns and sees Baron as he pressed down the lever three times.
"COME ON! BANANA SPARKING!"
He stabs the Banaspear on the ground as holographic banana appear out of nowhere and strike the Elementary Inves and exploded. Gain, on the other hand, manage to dodge it and rolls on the ground.
"Hey, I could've to warn me about that!" He yelled.
As Baron didn't respond and approaches Gaim, pointing his Banaspear at him, while Gaim let his guard up with his Daidaimaru and Musou Saber.
But then all of a sudden, another crack opened up as Gaim sees what over there before he recognizes what's on the other side of the crack. "What portal open too?" As Gaim wonders why that crack opened up out of nowhere.
(Meanwhile at the I.S Academy)
Ichika cries out loud as he flies towards Rin as she sneered before she flies around battling her childhood friend.
Rin makes the first move as she swung her Chinese scimitar at Ichika as he deflected with his Yukihira, before both fly up and backed up each other in the air.
"Not bad, you actually able to stop my first attack but that won't last!" Rin grinned as she summons another Chinese scimitar, wielding dueling swords now, before flying towards Ichika and hitting him.
They lock blades at each other as Rin chuckled while the crowd cheers out loud in the arena.
As Houki Cecilia watches it on the screen with Maya and Chifuyu, worrying if Ichika gonna is alright.
"Ichika" Houki muttered.
Cecilia started complaining out loud. "Come on!" She yelled. "What on earth is he doing out there!? You should be using the cross grid turn I taught you, have you forgotten how to it!?" As she approaches the screen yelling.
As for Chifuyu, she didn't say anything but just stand there and watch with her arms crossed.
Back at the battle, Rin combines both swords into a double-bladed as she twirls it around before flying toward Ichika and attacks him with her double blade. As Ichika avoid her attack, Rin follows him. "At this rate, the match is gonna be pretty grueling, I need to create some distance" Ichika thought.
Ichika tries to make distance away from rin, but she kept following him around no matter what.
"So naive!" Rin yelled before her booster opened up and locking on Ichika as it fires at him.
He managed to dodge it before one of the energy balls got him as Ichika was shot down but kept flooding in the air as Rin approaches.
"And that what you would call it to dab" Rin chuckled as she starting to boost her energy and blast Ichika off the air and crash on the ground.
He was lying on the ground as he tries to get up while his shield energy starting to depleting down.
"What the hell kind of attack did she use!?" Houki hollered after what she witnessed on the screen.
Before Maya spoke up and replied to Houki. "What she used was a shock cannon" she explained. "It's a weapon that manipulates the barometric pressure of the surrounding atmosphere."
"That's right, the ShenLong is a third generation I.S, just like my own blue tears," Cecilia said worrying.
Back at the match, Ichika gets himself up on his feet again before Rin shows up and locking on him before firing, while Ichika dodges it and sprint to the right side.
Ichika stops after that before getting himself back to focus and glares at Rin with his teeth gritted.
"Your dodging pretty well" Rin commented. "I thought the invisible barrel and ammunition were supposedly Rios feature, however."
Back at the control room while Maya explains to them about the shock cannon. "There's something else about the shock cannon. It fires at any angle and limited by its barrels angle of skews" she said.
"So what your saying is it doesn't have a blind spot" Cecilia wonders.
Before Maya turns her hand back to the screen. "Yes, I'm afraid that's exactly right," she replied.
While Houki listens after what they said as she worries about Ichika even more. As Ichika dodges her shock cannon but getting near him in his I.S.
He grits his teeth as he trying to figure out how to win this, or else Rin wins this whole thing.
(Back with Gaim)
Gaim was standing in front of a crack out of nowhere as he looks through the zipper and sees a hallway.
"Wonder what this crack leads too?" he asked himself.
Before he turns around when Baron appears in front of him and swing his Banaspear, as Gaim dodge back before falling through the crack and into the location.
He gets back up on his feet when Baron crosses through the crack before it disappeared as the two riders continue their fight here and now.
But as they battle, they didn't know that there at the I.S Academy arena when Ichika tries his best dodging Rin shock cannon. But he avoids them he thinks back of what Chifuyu said while training.
(Flashback)
It was during, as Ichika unsheath the Yukihira on his hand with Chifuyu mentoring him. He looks at it wondering about something as Ichika asked his big sister.
"So does the Yukihira Nigata the only weapon the Byakushiki has?" Ichika asked.
"And I won the championship using that" Chifuyu reminded him while holding a bamboo sword in hand. "Just one swing just good enough to win," she said as Chifuyu points her bamboo sword at Ichika.
"Y'know, I really wish you wouldn't put me in the same category as a world champion-" but as Ichika kept talking, Chifuyu slams her bamboo sword on the ground when Ichika flinches and be quiet.
"If you want to be realistic, an amateur like you doesn't have a chance of winning" She hollered harshly. "So you know anything about recoil, how to distance yourself from the bullet line, when zero stop, absolute turns" she explains to him the details about the battle with an I.S. "What about ammo characteristic, atmospheric conditions, or the intellectual aspect of battle such as the influence equipment, and that's only the beginning, so can you handle that, WELL CAN YOU!" She exclaimed.
Ichika bends down as he sighs after what heard from his sister. "Sorry" he sighs before Chifuyu showed him a smile.
"Look, I know you pretty well and mastering one technique is really more your style, after all, you are my brother right?" She said smile.
(Flashback ended)
After that moment of what Chifuyu said to him, he kept that thought about "the barrier disabling the attack" he thought to himself. "But can I use it?"
As soon he yells at Rin and said. "Rin!"
"Yeah, what is it!?" she grunted.
"I'm warning you! I'm not gonna hold back!" he shouted of determining.
Rin, on the other hand, doesn't seem to care for what he said. "What's that supposed to mean! That's what you were supposed to do!" she growled. "Besides, I'll show you that we are not in the same page!" as she swung her double lance at Ichika before he dodges it and flies away.
Rin flies after Ichika as he was about us a technique that Chifuyu taught him during training.
But then all of sudden, Gaim burst out of the entrance doorway and crash to the edge bar before Baron appears and swing his Banaspear at him before the samurai rider dodges to the left side.
Some of the crowd sees the two rider fighting before they all backed up from them before the rest of the crowd watch this as well, including Ichika who recognize Gaim.
He flies to Gaim as Rin yelled at him. "Hey! Where're you going!" she yelled at him but ignore him.
As Ichika made his way to the two riders fight before looks at Gaim and another rider. "Wait, I remember you!" he yelled, remembering the samurai rider again.
For Baron, he glares at Ichika before he notices, with red aura surrounded the banana rider.
Then Rin appears. "Ichika, what the hell are you doing! And who are they, are they I.S or something!" She demanded.
"Well, it's complicated" Ichika sheepishly before he turns around and sees Baron jumping out of nowhere and attack him.
The banana rider held on Ichika in his I.S Byakushiki as he flies around like crazy and out of control. "Hey, what are you doing crazy!" Ichika yelled before he crashes on the ground.
"Ichika!" Houki yelled at the control room.
"Why would he do that!?" Cecilia asked.
As Maya shook her head and doesn't know the answer, while Chifuyu overhears their conversation before looking back on the screen.
Ichika gets himself back up before he turns around and looks at Baron who stood there in front of him.
"Hey, what the hell was that all about!" He yelled.
While Baron stood quietly before he reaches out his belt presses down the knife lever two times.
"COME ON! BANANA AU LAIT!"
He stabbed his Banaspear on the ground and all of a sudden, holographic banana appear, traveling towards Ichika.
But the male I.S manage to dodge it as he flies up in the air, while the holographic banana paw above him. "Man that powerful, and why do they look like a banana?" He said.
Gaim looks at the two, wondering what is happening down there. "Why would he do that?" He thought.
Just as Baron was walking up on him before Rin shows up in front of the banana rider who seems to be upset of him interrupting. "Identify yourself! Who are you and how do you get here!" She demanded.
"Buzz off shorty" Baron scoffed.
This makes Rin angry gritting her teeth after what Baron said to her, as she gathers enough energy of her shock cannon.
"If that's whatcha want, then I'll destroy you!" Rin hollered and release her shock cannon and aims it at Baron.
But Baron suddenly slowly drop his Banaspear as he stood there doing nothing before the shock cannon hits him as it exploded.
"Rin, why you do that!" Ichika yelled.
"He deserves it he should've been here in the first place!" She yelled angrily.
"But you don't have to blast him like that!" he pointed out.
"He started!" Rin yells.
But as they kept arguing, Gaim watches this before he turns his to the smoke where Baron was shot. As he kept looking, he noticed something about big in the smoke.
As Ichika and Rin were having a conversation, someone blasted a yellow electro ball at the Chinese Representative, before he notice and split the pulse in two with his double blade.
"Who's there!?" she demands.
Just then four floating objects hovering in thin air fires a yellow laser at Rin multiple, while Rin flies up in the air for distance.
"Okay what was that?" she questions herself.
Before the four flying object flies back to the smokes before a shadowy silhouette in the smoke as Rin kept her distance while Ichika watches what is happening as well the crowd.
Then, a shadow figure dashes up in the air as Rin looks up and sees someone in with the sun behind. The figure looks like it's in an I.S for some reason, as Rin looks at it with her eyes narrowed before it fired at her.
She got shot down and crash on the ground after that. As she gets up Rin looks back at the figure only to see something shocking in her eyes widen.
It was Ryoga in…IN AN I.S MACHINE!? With his robotic forearms and legs resemble of a knight gauntlet and greave, silver robot hand, with red and yellow lining on it. His chest plate and shoulder pads have Baron armor on it, four yellow artilleries around his waist, yellow expanded wings with a silver edge, a piece of a visor on his forehead with horizontal lining on it.
"It…It can't be" Rin speechless of what she just witness.
The crowd couldn't believe themselves as well as they all see a second male pilot I.S after Ichika. Including Gaim who's confused. "What the!?" he gasped.
"What?!" Maya gasp.
"What the hell!" Houki shocked,
"How is it possible! I thought Ichika the only male I.S!?" Cecilia asked her teacher Maya.
"It...can be…..a second male I.S pilot.." Maya cried murmured.
As for Chifuyu, she couldn't believe it her for another man to control an I.S just like her little brother. But she kept her cool and continue watching.
Rin gets up and flies towards as she swung her double blade at Ryoga, but he simply dodges it as if it's no big deal. "How is it possible" she growled with her teeth gritted. "I thought Ichika was the only male I.S pilot! How the hell are you controlling it!" Rin demanded.
But Ryoga only smirks at her making angry before she twirls her double blade. "Fine, if that's how it's gonna be then I'll take you down!" Rin hollered before she fires her shock cannon at him.
The newly male I.S pilot pulls back before the shock cannon got him as smoke appeared. Rin looks at it before she was about to approach it when Ichika shows up.
"Rin!" he hollered.
"Don't get any closer, I'll deal with it" Rin calls up before she flies toward the smokes.
As Ichika watches Rin flying towards the smokes before he spotted something in the smoke before call out loud. "Rin wait!" he shouted.
"I said I got this" she yelled back.
"But Rin-!"
"I said 'I got this!' can't you get that too you thick!" She repeated at Ichika before she was struck by someone. Rin looks before and sees Ryoga in close range, holding a spear in his hands.
She couldn't move a muscle before Ryoga pulls out his spear and swing it downwards sending Rin flying down to the ground. But before she was about to crash down on the ground as Ichika flies down and catch Rin in his arms, as he flies to the sky where Ryoga hovers.
"Alright pal, you better identified yourself, who are you!" Ichika demand, while Rin looks at blushing seeing him carrying her arms.
"We've met before, but we never introduced ourselves. My name is Ryoga Kumon. The second male I.S pilot" Ryoga introduced himself.
"Okay, Ryoga," Ichika said in a serious tune. "Now answer me, how is it a person like you operating an I.S rather than me" he demanded.
Ryoga smirks before answering Ichika question. "Do you recommend that multi-purpose facility during the high school exams."
Ichika narrowed his eyes after hearing Ryoga. "Yeah, what about that place," he asked suspicion. As Ryoga explain to Ichika back then.
(Flashback)
It was after Ichika operated an I.S, the media we all gather as they ask him some questions about him. But as the crowd surrounded Ichika, one person who was at the doorway entrance and that person is none other than Ryoga back then.
"(This can't be for a person like him to control one of the machines known as I.S. so I decided to investigate this in secret if its a set and when to the room where you found that I.S.)"
Ryoga walks down the hallway with his hands in his pocket before he opened the door and see the room with the I.S.
As he proceeded the machine and place his hand on the I.S machine, it did nothing, the I.S didn't do a thing. Ryoga lets out a sigh before closing his eyes and concluded his theory.
("I tested my theory, and I was right, there's no way a man could ever control an I.S. that is until)"
Then all of a sudden the I.S suddenly was activated.
While Ryoga couldn't believe his eyes. "This can't be, I controlling an I.S" he speechless with words.
It was then on, on the same day where a second male I.S pilot came to this world.
(End of Flashback)
"After that day, I receive my belt on the next day as I became Kamen Rider Baron. And name this I.S of my own…..Baron Knight!" he shouted out and introducing his I.S unit name.
"Baron Knight?" Gaim murmured to himself.
Ichika didn't say a word with his head shaded shadow before he let go of Rin and hover towards Ryoga. "If that's true, then why didn't you confront it to the authority. You'll be wanted for piloting an unauthorized i.S, you know that" he pointed out to him.
"That may be true, but I have full authority to use the I.S," Ryoga said.
This made Ichika mad. "What! How the hell did you get authorization!?" he demanded.
"Some girl with the bunny ears gave me authorization to use the I.S anytime I want," he replied.
As Houki hear this, this concerns her some with the rabbit ears. It as if she knows this person who started making all of the I.S.
"Besides, you, on the other hand, can seem to understand," Ryoga said.
"What does that mean!" Ichika yelled.
Ryoga smirks. "You have no experience of using the I.S, besides, what a person like you doing here when your sister has to do all of the work while you coward behind her back."
"What was that! Look, I'm gonna be a coward behind my own sister and protect me anymore!" Ichika snapped.
"Then why don't you proven yourself" he taunted him as Ichika gritted his teeth after hearing what Ryoga said.
"Alright fine! I accept your challenge!" Ichika yelled accepting Ryoga challenge.
Gaim watches this as he sees his stepbrother battling the second male I.S in his own I.S. "This is not going well" he thought
The two circles around in the air while Ichika held his Yukimura and Ryoga spear, before rush towards each other and clash their weapons.
Swing them and deflecting every attack they've got before Ichika backed away and tries to fly away from him. But then all of a sudden, he flies in front of Ichika causing him to shock as Ryoga release four artilleries around his waist and fires yellow pulse at him.
He got shocked and landed on the ground, as the crowd gasped out loud in the arena.
"What the!?"
"That was fast, how did that person do that! What kind of I.S generation is it?" Cecilia asked.
As Maya struggled for an answered while finding any data about Ryoga I.S Baron Knight, but no luck. "I can't find any data on this other male person! This I.S, I never have seen it before, and I don't know what kind of I.S generation is?!" she cries out.
"So...does that mean this is another unknown I.S," Houki said speechless.
"Yes, from what we don't know about this. I'm afraid that this I.S, is currently unknown to us" Maya explained.
The girls didn't say anything as they when back watching Ichika versus Ryoga on the screen.
As Ichika, he was getting up from the ground after being shot down by Ryoga while he hovers in the air staring at the first male I.S. "You're too weak when your in an I.S, it's embarrassing for someone like you to control while your disinter doing all the work. You pathetic" Ryoga said darkly.
"You wait and see what I can do!" Ichika yelled before flies up again charge at him again.
Rin, on the other hand, was worried about Ichika, who is being beaten by another male I.S pilot. "Ichika, you idiot" she muttered quietly with her teeth gritting but still worried.
As Ichika charge towards Ryoga and swing his Yukimura downwards. "That's it, that all you have? Your powers are useless" he taunted while Ichika gritting his teeth. "At this rate, you'll never be strong as your sister and will always be the weak one to your family. You should be ashamed."
Ichika grit his teeth before he pushes himself hard before Ryoga push him away and fires his artillery at him. Ichika has shot down again but kept flying in the air, as he glared at him Ichika isn't gonna give up just yet. He lifts up his head and glare at Ryoga before saying. "Hey, you" he yelled. While he listens. "Just so you know, I'm not gonna give up. I'll show you how strong I really am" he declared.
But for Ryoga, he just sneered and looks at Ichika who's determined to win this. "If that's the case, then show me your true strength!" he hollered before firing his artilleries at Ichika who just dodge it and flies down. As Ryoga chase after him.
Gaim watches this the whole thing as he looked at his stepbrother taking on the second male I.S pilot. "Come on Ichika your strong than this. Beat this guy" he thought.
Back at the control room as the group watches Ichika flying away from Ryoga, Maya notices something off. "It looks like Orimura thinking about trying something?" she wonders what's Ichika strategy.
"My guess is that he's using the Ignition boost, exactly like I taught him" Chifuyu replied to her.
As Cecilia asked. "Hold on, what is this 'ignition boost?'" she wonders about that.
"Its a form of a surprise attack in which you close in on your opponent at a maximum rate of speed" Chifuyu explain to the girls about the Ignition boost. "As long as he can ignite at just the right moment, he can even go toe-to-toe with the representative contender, unfortunately. This is only chance because if it just works once."
"If that is the case, then this is the only way to beat that other male I.S pilot, right?" Maya asked.
"Yeah" Chifuyu nodded.
Ichika kept dodging the pulse as he flies up with explosion up above the sky, as Ryoga still chase after him and tries to pierce Ichika with his spear and blast his arteries at him too.
But Ichika dodges the whole thing before he flies right behind him before he charges right at him as Ryoga turn around with his left-hand aim at Ichika with two artilleries in his around him, spear stretch back, ready to strike the first male I.S pilot as well Ichika.
When all of a sudden, a blast of purple beam came through the arena dome and struck it on the ground before a large explosion. Interrupting Ichika and Ryoga battle.
"What the!?" Rin said speechless.
"What was that?" Gaim gasp as he's not the only one who was surprised to see that.
Not far away, the cloaked figure watches this as he was standing on the arena pole with his arms cross. "Looks seem she send it after all," he said.
In the control room, it starting to alert for danger as Cecilia and Houki wonder what happened.
"What!? The devil just happened!?" Cecilia wonders.
"AH ICHIKA!" Houki shouted for her childhood friend's name.
As Maya looks through and replied. "The system's been damaged, an unidentified object appears to penetrated the arena's deflection shield."
"Suspend the match! Orimura! Huan! get out of there imminently!" Chifuyu calls out through the P.A.
As the crowd panic and backed up from the flames, Gaim looks at the flames, causes something happened back in his when he was young.
(Flashback)
The flames surrounded Katsuo back when he was young, as tears flow from his eyes. Then all of a sudden, someone was behind him when he turns around before it raises a sword and swings it at Katsuo.
(Flashback ended)
After those memories disappeared, Gaim shook his head and tries to focus on the situation here at the arena before it covers up and close off the view of the arena.
"Okay, what going" Gaim wonders.
"Hey, what's happening!" Ichika asked as he looked around for a moment before asking again. "What in the hell is going on! Was it you! You did this!" before he shouted at Ryoga if he did this.
"Your naive" he scowled.
"What was that!?" Ichika growled.
"Why would I do this, I clearly got you in defeat before this shows up" Ryoga explain to Ichika as he clearly stated that he didn't do it.
Just then Rin shows up on Ichika screen. "Ichika, the match is canceled get back to the pit now!"
"But what!" suddenly another screen pops up on Ichika and identified the object. "Another I.S! And there's no Identification on it" as he pulled up another screen when all of a sudden, it was just fire on it for some reason. "Is it looking me out somehow? Who could it be locked?" Ichika gasp wondering what going as this got Ryoga attention.
"What are you doing, get back to the pit!" Rin hollered.
Get back, and what are you going to do!?" he hollered at her before Rin explain the plan to him.
"I'm going to buy us some time, but you need to get out of here, right now!" She hollered at Ichika.
"Now what a second, there's no way I'm gonna leave a girl behind!" Ichika yelled.
Before Rin turns around. "You idiot!" she hollered at him. "You're the weaker fighter, you don't get any choice so move!"
"But!"
"And as for you", she calls on Ryoga. "You need to go to the pits too, this is not a game!" as Rin hollered, Ryoga didn't listen and flies off to another location. "Hey! Get back here!"
Ryoga made his way to the other side before his visor slides down and scan spot where the blast landed at. He ran a scan as he spotted a large figure coming from the middle. Ryoga runs some readings data on it but has no data. "What kind of I.S is this" he muttered.
Rin looks at Ryoga as her teeth gritted and eyes narrowed. "That jerk" she growled quietly before facing another situation and looks at Ichika. "It's not like I'm going to handle this all the way to the end okay" As she looks at the I.S. "just standing" she muttered before she took her eyes back to Ichika. "Until one of the teachers can get out here and handle it."
All of a sudden, a large purple beam fires at Rin as she just stands. "Look out!" Ichika exclaims before he jumps in and grabs her before the beam passes them.
After Ichika moves Rin away, a screen pops up as he reads it. "A beam weapon, and it has a higher power up with into Cecilia weapon!" he said out loud as Rin listen.
"Hey you idiot, you need to let go of me right now!" Rin hollered shove Ichika face away as he tried to calm her down.
Meanwhile, with the cloaked figure, it watches the whole thing as fire burn on the arena. "How pity, to think an unknown I.S would show up at this moment," he said before pulling out four lockseed. "Then let's add some more" he sneered as he opened up the lockseeds and summon the Inves.
All of the Inves are at the hallway and heading straight towards the exit door which was blocked for some reason.
Back at the arena the object steps forwards revealing to be an I.S that Ichika detected as it has large forearm with cannons on it and a black body. It steps on the blazing field of smokes as Ichika and Rin stare at it, including Ryoga.
"Just what is that thing, it's not any I.S I've ever heard of?" Ichika wonders before yelling at that I.S pilot. "Alright, you! Identified yourself!" But the I.S pilot didn't reply. "Answer me! Who are you!" He demands back before Maya pops up.
"Orimura, Huang, you need to vacate the arena at once. The teachers will be there soon in their I.S unit to neutralize the situation" Maya ordered them.
"No, we've gotta keep it occupied until everyone evacuates" Ichika replies back and explains why.
"I understand how you feel, but you just can't do that! Get out of there now!" Maya cried out as Houki and Cecilia agree.
"Ichika fun!"
"Ichika!"
As they all tell him, Chifuyu just stood there and do nothing but silent.
"Are you okay with this?" Ichika asks Rin.
"Are you talking to me you jerk" She growled. "Can't you see that I want is for you to let me go!"
Ichika blink of confusion from what Rin's talking about. "I can't even move with you holding me like that!"
"Oh sorry" he apologized to her as Ichika let go of Rin, before the I.S fires a purple beam at them. Luckily both of them dodge it as the I.S prepare to launch itself before flies up in the air and charging at them.
But Ichika and Rin dodge in time, before the I.S turnaround and fires at the two I.S pilots, while they dodge it in mid-air.
"Looks like she's ready to fight," Rin said while dodging.
"Yeah, let's say your right" Ichika agrees before both of them hives away from the I.S
"Ichika, how about you charge at her while I cover you" Rin suggests a plan. "That's your only offensive weapon right?"
As Ichika didn't turn his head but replied to her. "More or less" Ichika murmured before he finally turns his head. "Right, let's do it," he said.
Meanwhile, for Ryoga, he was staring at the I.S and checking it's states and movement with his visor scanning. But for some reason, he noticed something off about this I.S as if it's more than an I.S.
"This is off, the I.S seem to be...slow?" He wonders about the I.S.
(Meanwhile in the inside of the arena)
"Wonder going on outside?" Gaim wonders
Before someone screams as he turned and saw a girl being attacked by an Elementary Inves as more of them appeared inside and surrounded the student of the I.S academy around.
"Geez, and here I thought this could get worse" he grunted before jumping and taking on the Inves.
Back at the control room. "We've got more problems!" Maya alerted to Chifuyu and show it to her as well as Houki and Cecilia.
"It's those monster again" Chifuyu muttered.
Before another screen opened up, showing a group of Inves at the exit arena. "We've got another problem, it's those creatures from before, there back and blocking at the exit. If we open the door up then they'll attack the student" she stated.
Chifuyu grit her teeth as if an unidentified I.S is bad enough, but now a group of monster is here attacking the student.
Meanwhile inside as everyone tries to get out of here while the Inves attacking them. As one of the Inves was about to attack a girl who fell on the floor before Gaim swing his Musou saber at the Elementary Inves.
"You okay?" Gaim asks her while crocheting down as she nodded of an okay.
Gaim then stands before seeing another Elementary Inves attacking another student before rushing in and strikes at them away from the student. "Get somewhere safe!" he hollered.
As the student understood and run to the exit door, while Gaim holds them off so that the student of the I.S academy can escape safely. But for some student, they stood there a the exit and seeing Gaim holding the Inves off, seeing him in action blush some of the students as they all wonder what's in that helmet.
As for the battlefield the unknown I.S unit curve back and fires at Ichika and Rin, but Rin block it before firing back at it. But then the unknown I.S flies towards her before Rin dodge it as the two I.S pilots follow it and headed straight towards the black smokes and blasting it inside.
"Orimura please come in!" Maya cries out at the control center. "If you can hear me, please respond! Ain't either of you listening to me! Huang! Orimura!"
As Maya shouted for any response, just when Chifuyu steps up while straightening up. "That says they can handle the situation. So I say we let them go for it" she suggested.
"What!? Please say that you're not serious! How can you say something like that at a time like this!?" Maya gasp.
"Oh calm down, just chill and have a cup of coffee or something" Chifuyu suggested, before grabbing a cup of coffee of her own. "You only stressing before your body's running low on sugar" but as she added the sugar in it, Maya realized something about the sugar before telling.
"Um before you drink that. What you actually just added was salt " Maya points out before Chifuyu froze for a moment as she put the coffee down and continue watching.
As for Gaim after he slashes another Elementary while protecting the students here. "Hey, can't you get out of here," he asked one of the girls.
"We're trying, but the can be opened!"
Gaim looks at the far back and sees the door locked while all of the students try to get out of here meaning they can leave here.
Just as the orange samurai tries to calm all of them down when all of a sudden. A large opened crack open behind him as Gaim looks and see the Cloaked figure in front of him.
"You!" he growled pointing his Daidaimaru at him. "Your the who's doing this!?"
"No, but someone else is. I'm just here for more I.S data" he explained.
But after hearing about I.S data, Gaim is not gonna let him do that, unlike the last time they were here. But the clock figure pulls two more Lockseeds and summon two more Elementary Inves.
The student all scream out loud as the Elementary Inves were about to approach them just before Gaim swings his Daidaimaru at one of them.
Gaim stood his ground before looking around and see all of the Inves surrounding them inside the arena.
Like the girls, all walk backing up from them sobbing in fear while Gaim knows that surrounded. "This is gonna be tough" he muttered to himself.
Before one of the Elementary Inves approaches one of them and attack, before someone slash it before exploded. The figure jumped in the air revealing to be Zangetsu in the nick of time and joins with Gaim and circle back to back.
"What took you so long!" Gaim grunted.
"I have to find the Crack somewhere, so you've been busy," Zangetsu said before deflecting an Elementary Inves with his shield.
But just as they kept having a conversation another Elementary Inves appeared in front of Gaim before he swings his Daidaimaru downwards at it.
"We have to take them all down" Gaim suggested before more Elementary Inves surrounded them.
Then Zangetsu just pops up an idea as he explains to Gaim through. "Gaim, change armor use that other lockseed with the strawberry," he said.
"Right" Gaim nodded before they split up as the orange rider pulls out another lockseed with the strawberry on it. "Wonder what this will turn out?" he wonders before pressing it as the lock opened up.
"ICHIGO!"
A Crack opened above him and appears to be a big metallic strawberry as everyone sees the large strawberry. Gaim then placed the lockseed on the belt compartment before he closed it.
"LOCK ON!"
With the standby tunes making horns, Gaim reaches out his hand and press down the knife lever down as the Lockseed opened up, revealing to be an inside of sliced strawberries, and the bottom part has a Kurai.
Just as the strawberry armor was about to drop on Gaim head as the Orange armor disappeared, an Elementary Inves tries to attack him from behind before Gaim notice and moves back a bit. This drop the Strawberry down and hits the Elementary Inves it's head before landing on Gaim's head with the tip of the bottom opened to the right.
As the strawberry armor drops onto Gaim head it unfolded as the top folded to a shoulder pad to the left, a chest plate folded with a strawberry symbol on it. His back helmet is a red studded shape with a green leaf on it and his visor is a sliced strawberry on it. This is Kamen Rider Gaim Ichigo Arms.
Gaim pulls two Kunai in his hands as he wonders those two throwing knives.
He then throws it at one of the Elementary Inves and hit it one blink of an eye. "Wow, that could be handy" Gaim complimented them.
As Zangetsu growled at Gaim while deflecting the Inves with his shield. "Less complementing more focus!" he yelled at him.
Before Gaim nodded and focus back at the main task here before pulling out two Kunai on his hands. He rushes toward the Elementary Inves and slashes them with his two Kunei.
All of the girls were watching this and was amazed to see two mysterious riders came out of nowhere while for some of the blushes to wonder who they are and what's under their helmets.
(Meanwhile outside of the arena)
Rin fires her shock cannon at the Unknown I.S as it dodges her before she finally shot it.
"Ichika, do it now! She yelled.
As Ichika is flying above and flies down towards the Unknown I.S. letting out a battle cry and swung his Yukihira Nigata. But the Unknown I.S dodges his attacks as it got away from him.
"Oh, you idiot! Aim that thing like you was supposed to do, that was your fifth try already!" Rin yelled at him.
"Hey, I am aiming at it damn it!" Ichika yelled as he looked at his shield energy and see he only has a fuel left. "Oh crap, I've only been able to use the barrier disabling attack one more time," he thought with his teeth grit.
"Ichika, break away!" Rin yelled.
"Uh right!" he replied as both of them as the Unknown I.S fires rapidly.
"What will we going do, will never get her without some kind of strategy!" she yelled.
Then Ichika said. "Hey, you can still run if you want to" he suggested to her.
"Who said anything about running you jerk! I'm still a representative contender you know!" she scoffed when Ichika approaches her and go back to back each other.
But as for Ryoga, he was watching there doing nothing as Ichika notice him doing nothing. "Hey aren't you help!" he hollered.
Ryga didn't respond as he just stood and only looked at the Unknown I.S.
"Forget that jerk, he's not worth of helping," Rin said.
As Ichika understood her before getting to the main situation right now. "Alright, then how're this sounds. You take the point and I'll take your rear end" Ichika explain the plan to her.
She gasped before looking at Ichika seeing him bravely thinking maybe he's not that bad after all. "That appreciated" then her screen pop at her alerting Rin just as the beam shows and fires at her when she dodges it.
Then Rin and Ichika split up and dodge the beam.
"Stay focus!" Ichika yelled.
"Yeah tell me something that I don't know!"
Back inside the arena audience, Gaim and Zangetsu were finishing up the last few groups of the Elementary Inves as they were all exploded.
Once they were all destroyed, all of the doors suddenly opened up and emerge more Inves as the girls backed up, before the two riders jump out of nowhere and kick them away.
The girls all stare at the two riders blushing just before the group of Elementary Inves regroup and surrounded them. As Gaim and Zangetsu gripped their weapons before charging at them.
"Let's keep them away from getting near the students!" Zangetsu shouted.
"Right!" Gaim nodded, slashing one of the Elementary Inves with his two Kunai.
Back outside the unknown I.S lock on to Ichika before firing at him. As the only male pilot flies away and dodges it before the smoke appears to cover the unknown I.S and hides before it.
As Ichika stood there staring at the smokes he realizes something off about that I.S who doesn't seem to be right. "Y'know what, don't you think that thing movements look too mechanical?" he wonders as Rin pops up in his screen.
"What do you mean, it is a machine you know" she mentions to him.
"No, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm wondering if there really anybody piloting it?" he wonders.
Rin gasp. "What!? But an I.S won't without a pilot" she pointed it out to him before stopping next to him and think this through. "Now that you mention it, I've noticed it has attack much while we're talking to each other, it almost seems like...she's curious about our conversation?"
"Yeah" Ichika agrees.
But Rin shook her head and doesn't believe it. "There's no way it can be unmanned. Someone has to be inside an I.S or it won't move. That's just how it is" she explained.
"But think about it, what if… what if there really is no one in there," he said.
"Wait, are you saying we could beat it if it's unmanned?" she asked.
"Yeah," Ichika smirks, "if there's no one in there, we can literally pound with everything we got it and it would be okay.
Rin smirks as she likes that idea before a black blur passes through them. Startling Rin while Ichika looks around before spotting the cloaked figure on his hoverboard.
"Him again" Ichika though gritting his teeth.
"Who're you!" Rin demand.
But the Cloaked figure didn't respond as he holding a lockseed behind his back before opened it, summoning the large Shika Inves.
This causes Rin to stare at it in fear as Ichika kept his cool and glare at it, remembering the same one the last this place was attacked. Just as the large Shika was about to attack someone shot it out of nowhere as it turns and sees Ryoga pointing his spear at him before flies straight towards the large Inves and ram it to the ground.
As he fought with the large Shika Inves, Ichika and Rin just stood there and watches Ryoga battling it.
"Uh...should we help him" Ichika suggested.
"No, besides. That jerk seems to be handling it on his own" Rin pointed out to him as Ichika understood, but still, he wonders if Ryoga can beat it. "So how do we beat it?" she wonders.
As Ichika smirk on his face, "Reiraku Byakuya" he said and explain to Rin the details. "That's Yukihira Nigata is all out attack. The full force of the Yukihira Nigata is normally too powerful so you can't go all out with it during training more in a class match for that matter, however. You could if you opponent was unmanned."
After Rin listens to Ichika strategy, she doesn't think it could work. "Look, I don't know anything about you Ray Roku thing whatever. But you can't seem to hit a darn thing right now" she said.
But Ichika still smirks as if he knows he can do it. "Oh I'll hit it" he said.
Back at the arena inside, Gaim and Zangetsu were leading the student away from the fight and the group of Inves.
"I think that's the last of it" Gaim wonders as Zangetsu responded with a nod.
Then both of them hear someone running down from the hallway as turn and see one girl running the opposite direction.
"Why's she going the other direction?" Gaim wonders.
Zangetsu, on the other hand, stares at the girl as if he knows her before Gaim runs down and follow that girl as the white rider runs behind the orange samurai.
Rin sighs after hearing all of that. "well you pretty seem determined," she said, "so even though, I don't think it's a possibility. Let's just say it's unmanned and attack the thing anyway."
"Alright, so the plan is that you shoot it with the cannon at full blast but only when I give you the signal are we both agree" Ichika explain the strategy.
"Sure but it'll miss it" she reminded him.
"It'll be fine, even if it does," he said calmly. "Alright, let's do this!"
Just as the two of them were about to go when someone shouted out.
"ICHIKA!"
Ichika turn and only to see Houki as she breathing in and out from running. Then she shouts out to Ichika. "IF you're A MAN! IF you're A MAN, YOU BETTER DEFEAT THE ENEMY AND COMPLETELY!"
This attracts the Unknown I.S, the Large Shika, and the cloaked figure attention, they turn and have their eyes on Houki.
She gasped, gritting her teeth and stood there doing nothing before the Cloaked figure appears in front of her. "You stay out of this...girl," he said.
This causes Houki angry as she glares at him if he better then her. Then the cloaked figure pulls out two more lockseeds and summons two Elementary Inves as Houki backed up from them.
"Aw crap, HOUKI RUN!" Ichika yelled.
But just as Houki was about her meet her end, the two riders, Gaim and Zangetsu appeared in front of her and blocked the Elementary Inves way before pushing them away.
Gaim and Zangetsu stood in front of the Elementary Inves and the cloaked figure as Houki stands right behind them.
"You okay?" Gaim asked her.
As Houki just stares at Gaim before having her eye on Zangetsu who seem is familiar with him.
"Don't worry, will take care of him, you deal with the other one!" Gaim shouted at Ichika as he wonders if he can trust him and the white rider.
"You stay out of this!" the cloaked figure hollered before he ordered the two Elementary Inves to attack them.
Gaim and Zangetsu rush in and block their attack before pushes back away from Houki, as she got somewhere safe and it's just the two riders, a cloaked figure and two Inves around this area.
As Gaim dodges its attacks he then slashes the Elementary Inves with his two Kunei. For Zangetsu he deflected with his shield as he pushes it away and swings his Musou saber downwards.
But the Elementary Inves stood its ground before roaring out loud as it charges towards the white rider.
Zangetsu moves to the left just as the Elementary Inves passes through him before it turns around and tries to charge towards him once more. But the white rider tosses his shield at him before rushes down with his Musou saber and pulls out a new lock seed with a Papaya and the code number L.S 1.7, as he presses the button
"PAPAYA!"
He then places it on his belt compartment and locks it as horn standby playing, a crack opened up and revealed to be a large metallic Papaya. But what Zangetsu didn't know is that Houki was watching him right behind her hiding place, as the white rider presses down the lever knife, slicing the Papaya Lockseed front and reveal to be the inside of the Papaya as for the bottom half, it has a club on it.
"SOIYA! PAPAYA ARMS! HEBI KYODO! FUMETSU NO CHIKARA!"
The metal Papaya landed on his head as he unfolded as the front form into a cape of some sort. The top split and folded into a shoulder armor, the inside of the front opened and folded into a chest plate with orange lining with orange decorations on it. His back helmet is dark greet with thorns around his head, and his visor is orange of a slice Papaya. This is Kamen Rider Zangetsu Papaya arms.
He gripped his new weapon, his club with orange horns around it that and his dark green.
The Elementary Inves just growled as it attacks the white rider before Zangetsu swings his club and it hard at its face. But the Elementary Inves gets up again and tries to attack him once more before he swings his club downward then pierce it before it flies away.
But what Zangetsu knew is that Houki was watching him, but not only that, she's also staring directly at his lock on his belt thinking if that the main power source he's getting from.
As the unknown I.S is still locking on them before Ichika shouted and yelled at Rin. "Rin do it now!" as Rin responded she locked her cannons at the unknown I.S.
"You've got it!" Rin yelled but as she was about to shoot it, when Ichika was hovering in front of her, blocking her lock on to the Unknown I.S. "hey you stupid idiot! What are you doing, get out of my line of fire!"
"Just shoot damn it!" Ichika snapped.
Rin was shocked. "Are you crazy jerk!?" she yelled back at him. "Whatever happens, this is not my fault!" before firing her shock cannon right at Ichika standing at and stood his ground at the blast. This causes Gaim to notice him as was shocked.
"What the hell he doing" Gaim exclaim before focusing back at the Elementary Inves.
As he withstands that blast by Rin's shock cannon, all of his shield energy is boosting back up to maximum power. Once he's fully charged, Ichika whole body started to glow as the Yukihira Niigata blade grew a little. Then he charged towards the Unknown I.S roaring out loud and preparing with full force.
But for the Unknown I.S, it responds as it clutches its right fist and throws a punch at him. "This is for Rin, Houki, Chifuyu, and everyone else I care about. I will protect all of you!" Ichika thought before waving the Yukihira Nigata back and swing it at the Unknown I.S.
He only cut the right arm but it uses its left arm and smacks Ichika crash down on the ground.
"Ichika!" Rin hollered.
The Unknown I.S walks up to him, living the left arm and aim it at Ichika. It was about to be fired at him when all of a sudden Ryoga appeared before it piece it with his spear.
"This bickering lasted long enough" he scowled as his artillery flies around him before attaching his spear before it started sparking red as his entire body starting to glow red as he flies up and twirling his spear above.
Ichika watches him doing something before Rin pops up on his scene. "Ichika are you okay!? What is that other guy doing?" She asks him.
"I don't know, but I think he's gonna use an all-out attack" he responds.
This confuses Rin before red light appeared as it's coming from Ryoga as he charging with red lightning sparking around the area. Then he gripped both hands on his spear and pointed at the Unknown I.S as he calls out loud.
"RAIMEI! RED DESTRUCTION JUDGEMENT!"
He gripped tight, aiming at the Unknown I.S before blasting a large beam straight towards it and blast it. This causes it to fry and malfunction every circuit and froze there doing nothing with the beam passing through it.
As it stood there, the red light dies down the Unknown I.S was dried with smokes comes out of his body. It tried left it left arm and aims it at Ryoga, but he flies down and slams it with his foot causing the Unknown I.S to shut down and collapse on the ground.
Ichika just witnessed a move like that, including Rin as well before Ryoga flies down on the ground, turns his head at the first male I.S pilot and glare at him. "This is how it's done, a weakling like you won't survive as this" Ryoga scowled.
This causes Ichika gritting his teeth and glare at him as he was about to say something to him when all of a sudden, an electrical surge appeared out of nowhere as they surrounded the area. Causing Ichika and Ryoga to be caught and kneel on the ground.
Then they heard someone coming this way as they look and see the Cloaked figure as he approaches Ichika with his right hand clutching with spark added.
"The representative of China will have to wait, you have shown me your full attack of your I.S, so I'll be taking you data of you as well," he said maliciously as Ichika struggled to free himself.
But wasn't about to make it as the cloaked figures approach Ichika closer and closer, leaving Ichika helpless on the ground.
"ICHIKA!" Rin exclaimed out loud.
As Houki heard her scream and see Ichika kneel on the ground with the Cloaked figure approaching him. This draws Gaim attention after kicked the Elementary Inves away, he sees his stepbrother in danger.
"Gaim!" He heard someone calling him as he turned around and see Zangetsu calling him. "I'll take care of the rest, you go and save Ichika!" He said.
Gaim understood him as he opened up the Dandeliner and hop on it before he flies away and headed straight towards the Cloaked figure.
As Ichika was about to be handed by the Cloaked figure, Gaim jumps off and landed on the ground right in front of him.
The Cloaked figure growled clutching his fist and glares at the orange rider. "You want him, you'll have to get past me!" He hollered.
Before the Cloaked figure clutches his fist before pulling out a red laser and charges towards Gaim as he did the same.
Both clash their weapons as the Cloaked figure swing his laser sword downwards when Gaim dodges his attack and strikes him with his two Kunei. It nearly got guns as Gaim only cut a rip of the cloaked figure cap before he swung his laser sword.
But Gaim manages to dodge it and he leaped up into the air before throwing two Kunei at him. The Cloaked figure quickly deflected with his laser sword then charge in.
As for Zangetsu he spins around sending both Elementary Inves flying and landed on the ground. He walked up to them stabbing his top club on the ground, staring at them.
"Let's put an end to this" Zangetsu scowls before placing his hand on the knife lever and press it down.
"SOIYA! PAPAYA SQUASH!"
As Zangetsu charge up his attack he lifted up his club up with both hands then giant holographic papaya appeared, and swing it down at the two Elementary Inves destroying both of them with an explosion.
Houki saw this and was amazed to see that even though its fruit like.
Back to the fight as Gaim throws another two Kunei at the Cloaked figure before he deflected back bouncing the throwing knives off. But Gaim unsheathes his Musou saber as both of them lock blades and glaring at each other.
"You're not gonna hurt anyone ever again, you hear me!" Gaim hollered as the Cloaked figure didn't respond before pushing back him.
But the Cloaked figure shoots red electric bolt from his right hand causing Gaim to electrocute and screams out loud.
"No!" Ichika hollered as he tries to get out but still has no luck.
Ryoga, on the other hand, saw one of the Kunei nearby as he tries to reach it before looking back at Gaim being electrocuted by the Cloaked figure as he finally got it.
Gaim kept his ground before he started to kneel on turn ground as the Cloaked figure chuckled sinisterly until Ryoga throws a Kunai at him straight towards his right hand causing it to break releasing Gaim in his grasp.
It also releases Ichika and Ryoga as well before Rin flies down and check on the first male I.S pilot. "Ichika, are you alright?" She asked.
As Ichika gets up front the ground before looking at her with a smile on his face. "Don't worry Rin, I'm fine" he replied causing Rin to smile as well.
"You jerk" she whispers.
Before seeing the Cloaked figure opened up a Crack as he was about to make his escape.
"Hey your not going anywhere!" Rin hollered as she was about to fires her shock cannon at him, just when the Cloaked figure throws his laser sword at one of Rin cannons damaging her shot making her angry.
But Gaim, on the other hand, rushes and stand in front of the Cloaked figure with the Crack behind him. "I'm not letting you go until I find out who you really are!?" He yelled pointing his Musou saber at him.
The Cloaked figure huffed after what Gaim said. "If you wanna know who I am, then you gotta get past through them!" He hollered before pulling out two more Lockseed summoning two Elementary Inves as they charge towards Gaim.
Before he swings his Musou saber slash both of them causing them pain.
"Then I'll end it quick" Gaim murmured before unlocking his Strawberry lockseed out from his belt.
"LOCK OFF!"
Then he placed it on his Musou saber empty compartment and lock it.
"LOCK ON! 1! 10! 100! 1000!"
Once Gaim charges up and prepares for the final blow with red energy flows through his sword, he aims it and slash upwards with strawberry energy appeared before it exploded and rain down multiple Kunei at the Elementary Inves causing damage until they exploded.
The only one is still here is the Cloaked figure as he and Gaim stare at each other before he started to chuckled sinisterly and clapping his hands applauding to him.
"You amuse me of you have shown me. For that, I will reward you of who I am just like I promise" the Cloaked figure said as he grabbed his mask before removing it in front of Gaim.
This causing him to be shocking him as the Cloaked figure reveal his face to him turns out to be...Katsuo face!?
As Ichika screen was showing his face and he too was shocked including Chifuyu was watching this.
The Cloaked figure who reveals to be Katsuo for some reason smirk as his hoverboard shows up as he jumped on it and hover straight towards the Crack. But before he left the area, he passes by Gaim as both of them stare at each other just when he crosses through the Crack and disappears out of nowhere.
Gaim was still shocked after he just saw in the blink of an eye. "W-Who was that? That can't be me" he thought.
Ichika was staring at Gaim before visualizing someone back who looks a lot like Gaim but with his head crust resemblance of an apple seed. This makes him wondering something about him. "That guy looks a lot like the one when Katsuo was Kidnapped? I think we met before, did we?" Ichika thought to wonder if that's the same guy from before.
Meanwhile, for Ryoga, he suddenly left the premises as he watches Gaim spacing out. "Will continue our battle the next time we meet Kazuraba," he said to himself and before flying away from the scenery.
As for Zangetsu he walks away and leaves the arena while he didn't is that Houki watching him before having her eye on his belt.
But the question still remains, who's really under the mask of the Cloaked figure, was it Katsuo, or someone else. Will we ever know?
(Elsewhere)
It was dawn as an airplane landed on the ground safely at the airport, as all of the passengers were getting off and headed straight towards the exit.
However, there's one person who was exiting out the door. This person was purple hair, green eyes, and light skin. He wore a grey denim jacket with his sleeves rolled up and a dragon symbol on his back, black pants, chains on both sides, dark purple shirt, and black shoes.
This person was walking outside on the sidewalk with a lock from behind his pants with a symbol of a grape, and code 'L.S 0.9'.
Next time on Infinite Gaim
Katsuo: I need to find out something more that person?
Ichika: you weren't out all night while I and Chifuyu are at the I.S Academy right.
Charlie: I'm Charle Dunois, and I have come from France
Person: Suzuki Liyua, nice to meet you
Hakaru: Chifuyu want you to at the I.S Academy?
Rin: Your the person who keeps attacking us aren't you!
Cecilia: Prepare to be punished!
Katsuo: Wait! I'm not the person you're looking for!
And that's that, sorry for the long wait, I've been playing and watching Pokemon since then. I haven't been getting breaks since the last story I posted. But don't worry, I'm still posting them and I'll be posting new as well as other stories too. See ya later.
for all of you know, yes, Zangetsu gets a Papaya for his armour.
