It's been too long since I posted this story so I hope you guys will like it.
I do not own Infinite Stratos and Kamen Rider
At the school entrance as everyone set up tables, decorated, prepare the treats and dressed it, today is the school festival everyone was getting ready for the guest to visit.
"Come on out Katsuo!" Yae shouted as she, Ahmyra, and Jane were wearing maid costumes.
"Forget it, I'm not wearing this stupid outfit!" Katsuo shouts out loud angrily.
"Please, we wanna see it!" Ahmyra begged.
"Please" Jane begged as well.
Katsuo growled as he walked out and revealed that he is wearing a butler costume with cat ears and tail. "I hate this. And why am I the only one wearing those stupid things?" he growled of this costume.
"Well, maybe you should've stayed here longer" Ran pointed out as she was wearing a chief costume. "By the way, where've you been all this time?"
"Oh uh?" Katsuo speechless as he tries to think of an answer since he has been at the I.S Academy for that long. "I'd rather keep that to myself."
"If you want, then talk to me because I'll totally understand," Sora said as he wears the butler costume as well but with no cat ears and tail.
Katsuo let out a sigh as it has been a long day since he came back from the academy. However he never told anyone, not even Ran and other days over there, as he hoped this would be a normal day for him after a crazy event. Or so he thought.

With the school festival started everyone was having a great time over, they tasted some food and treats, haunted houses, and games.
"Welcome to the cafe!" Yae, Ahmyia, and Jane all smiling greeted unison to the customers as their class were doing a cafe.
As for Katsuo and Sora, they were waiters and brought tea to drink as well as ordering food Hakaru and Ran cooked. Unfortunately for Katsuo some of the girls laughed and took photos with him as lots of girls came to this cafe to see him with the cat ears and tail which made him exhausted.
"Too…..much…..can't….take it..anyone" Katsuo grumbled as he is tired of taking pictures with the customers.
"Stop complaining," Hakaru said as he wore a chief costume and worked on cooking. "You have been away from the school for a while."
"How would I know that the school festival is this week after I came back!" Katsuo complained when he had no idea about the school festival after coming back from the I.S Academy.
Katsuo moaned as he headed out to do his job. "Hello what would you like?" he asked the customer, but the customer happened to be Chifuyu. "C-Chifuyu! I mean Mrs. Orimura!"
"Katsuo, I'm not at work anymore, so just call me by my name and Ichika usually calls me," Chiguyu said.
"R-Right" Katsuo nodded understanding before noticing that there are two more with her as he recognized those two. "Ichika?"
"Hey Katsuo" Ichika greeted him.
"Mrs. Yamada?"
"Hello Kazuraba" Mrs. Yamada greeted him. "Oh my goodness, look how adorable you are" she squealed seeing Katsuo's costume.
Katsuo let out sighs and his eyes closed before notice more people he recognized as he saw Houki, Cecilia, Rin, Charle, and Laura here as well. "No way, you're all here too?!"
"Yes, of course. For everything that you did for us and the academy" Charle said.
Katsuo blinked as he did protect everyone from the academy he looked at Houki, Cecilia, and Rin all three looked away from Katsuo as they didn't wanna see him after they accused the wrong person. Then he looked at Laura. She was looking around as she looks curious before she looked through a window view and see outside.
"Well, can I get you all anything?" Katsuo asked.
Then Chifuyu raises her hand with the menu. "I'll have the chef special. I'm sure your chief still has it" she said.
"Right" Katsuo nodded as he headed to the kitchen but when he looked and saw Houki, Cecilia ann Rin who was unhappy after they accused him of being a fake Katsuo.
"Hakaru, the chief special directly from Chifuyu herself," Katsuo said to Hakaru.
"Chifuyu is here," Hakaru said as he was surprised.
"Along with Ichika, Mrs. Yamada, and five students from the Academy," Katsuo said to him Hakaru was now getting to cooking.
As Chifuyu, Ichika, and Maya were waiting for their Hakaru special to come, the girls were still unhappy before Katsuo walked up to them. "Is there something wrong, you three?" He asked all three of them.
All three girls look at each other as they all know what to do.
"Yes, there is" Houki spoke up.
"We would like to discuss with you," then Cecilia said.
"But in private, is there anywhere that can talk?" Rin asked.
"Well," Katsuo thinks with his eyes closed as he wonders of a place they can have their private conversation. "The rooftop would be fine" he suggested.
All of the girls agreed as they got up and walked out of the room, Yae, Ahmyia, Jane blinked wondering where those girls were going.
"Katsuo what did you do!" Yae shouted at him.
"Sorry, but I'm taking a five-minute break," Katsuo said to her before leaving the room as the three girls were confused.
"Uh, should we follow them?" Ichika suggested it to Chifuyu.
"I'm on break, and this is something they should be doing alone," Chifuyu said to him. But Ichika was concerned for Katsuo, Houki, Cecilia, and Rin after everything that happened last week.
Up at the school rooftop, Katsuo was standing in front of the girls as they all looked down at the ground with their eyes shaded.
"Is there something you three want to talk to me about?" Katsuo asked them.
None of them spoke up as they didn't say anything back to him.
But then Houki stepped up and spoke. "Listen, do you remember we attacked and accused you of attacking our Academy?" she said as Katsuo remembered being attacked by them and accused who turned out to be Bujin Gaim who was impersonating him.
"Yeah, and the part of me being Gaim" Katsuo points that out to them.
"Yeah, that" Houki sat down on the ground and bowed her head down at him. "we're so sorry for attacking you!" she shouted out and apologized.
"Please accept our apologies for everything we have done to you!" Cecilia shouted as she sat down and bowed down as well
"None of us had any idea that was you! We're sorry" Rin as well and join the girls on the ground.
For Katsuo he was dumbstruck, blinked by what he saw when the girls apologized. "H-Hey now, you don't have to be that sorry," he said.
"But we deserve it!" Houki exclaimed.
"Punish us, we don't care what happens to us!" Cecilia shouted.
"We just don't want you to be mad back at the academy!" Rin shouted hoping for them for him to forgive.
Katsuo looks at them as they wait for what he is gonna say before he smirks and speaks out. "Okay, there is one for me to forgive all of you," the three of them listen to what he was about to say, "and that is to never date Ichika until the age of twenty-seven!"
This causes Houki, Cecilia and Rin to be shocked by what Katsuo says that they will never date Ichika until they are twenty-seven years old. Katsuo looked at them shocked before his mouth was moving and letting out a laughing burst.
"Pff haha hahaha! I'm just kidding" Katsuo laughs out loud.
Houki, Cecilia, and Rin growled angrily when he was just joking.
"Don't worry you are still with Ichika, at least one you. But look, I'm gonna punish all of you for accusing the wrong guy that attacked your academy" Katsuo said to them.
"Bu-!"
"Hey, don't it was all an accident, even you all went a bit too far" Katsuo murmured as he still remembered all of them going all out. "Just forget all of it and enjoy the school festival."
Houki, Cecilia, and Rin look at each other nodded in agreement.
"Okay," Houki agreed.
"That would be delighted" Cecilia too with her hand together.
"I guess that's fine" Rin as well.
"Good," Katsuo said as they all were about to head back. "By the way, about the dating Ichika part I was just kidding around, all of you do like that guy, right?" This causes Houki, Cecilia, and Rin to freeze with their faces turning red. "Thought so," he snickered.
"So, when did you get back in town Huh Ichika? And how are the ladies over there" Sora asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about Sora?" Ichika replied.
"Oh come on, how's the school full of girls doing!" Sora whined as he wanted to know more of his in the I.S Academy.
Ichika blinked as he had no idea what Sora was talking about when Katsuo, Houki, Cecilia, and Rin all came back to the room as the girl sat back down.
"So what happened?" Charle asked.
"Don't worry we all worked out," Katsuo said to him as Houki, Cecilia, and Rin nodded. Maya saw them, she let out a deep breath and was happy to see all of them made out.
"Please! Please!" Sora begged for Ichika to tell more until someone pinches him by the neck causing him to gawk and fall down on the floor revealing to be Ran.
"That pervert, I can't believe him" Ran growled wiping her hand.
"Oh hey, Ran, good to see you," Ichika said hello as Ran gasp and saw Ichika with her face red.
"I-Ichika! What are you doing here!" Ran was surprised to see him here since the last time they saw each other.
"I'm just here for the school festival with my sister, and a few friends from the Academy," Ichika explained to her.
Ran looks to the next table and sees that the girls are wearing the I.S uniforms, she grumbles wondering if those girls have feelings for him. But then she got curious when a girl with a twin tail looked familiar before Ran soon recognized her.
"Rin!?" Ran gasped.
Rin turns around and sees someone familiar too.
"Ran!?" Rin gasp as well.
"You two know each other?" Katsuo asked Ran, wondering about their relationship between her and Rin.
"Well back in second grade, Rin and Ran used to be in the same class together before Rin moved away" Ichika explained.
"Rin, what're you doing here, I thought you moved to China now?" Ran wondered as it hasn't been that long.
"Well, I've actually moved back to Japan and joined the I.S Academy as China representative," Rin explained to her.
But when Ran narrowed her eyes of suspicions as she knew Rin likes Ichika as well, she remembered that Rin's family used to own a restaurant that Ichika went to Rin family restaurant until she moved away.
"Well, nice to see you back here Rin" Ran greeted before walking away but her expression, grumbled with her left eyes twitching.
Then Hakaru walked in as he placed a tray in front of Chifuyu. "Thank you, Mr. Moro," she complained to the chief Hakaru.
"Anything for you Mrs. Orimura," Hakaru said as he bowed down to her.
"Hakaru" Houki muttered angrily glaring at Hakaru.
Then he notices Houki and glares at her. "Houki," he said as he recognized her.
Katsuo, Cecilia, Rin, Charle, and Maya look back and forwards as they wonder what is going on with those two, but for Ichika there is a different story as he looks worried.
"Hakaru, haven't seen you since elementary school" Houki scowled at him.
"And I see you're still at the top of kendo, I saw your win from the newspaper," Hakaru said, who was unimpressed.
"What's that supposed to mean" Houki demanded with her eyes narrowed.
Hakaru turned around and started walking away from her as he didn't reply to her question. "You have the fire inside of you, but that fire will bring you to your demise and feelings," he said he left back to the kitchen.
"Tch, who that jerk thinks he is" Houki growled angrily with her arms crossed.
Katsuo walks up to Chifuyu and leans towards her left ear. "Uhh, is there a problem between her and Houki?" He asked her.
"Mrs. Shinonono and Mr. Hakaru were rivals back in first grade, from what I heard from Ichika, the two of them were excellent swords wielded, but they have their different style" Chifuyu explained to his stepbrother as Katsuo was surprised as he had no idea that Hakaru had a rival back in first grade and Hakaru never mentioned her during training.
"By the way, there's something I want to talk to you about…..what happened back at the abandoned facility" Katsuo muttered as he remembered when he saw Idun was Chifuyu all along as both he and Ichika were surprised.
"Oh that, when there's another reason why I'm here…..Gaim" Katsuo gawked at what
"Yes, and there's a reason why I'm here, you and Ichika, I wanna discuss your belt after the school festival," Chifuyu said to him as he took a bit of Hakaru special, Katsuo look worried wondering if his older stepsister is gonna force him to give up as a Kamen Rider anymore.
"Welcome to our cafe" Yae greeted other customers.
But those customers were familiar as Katsuo looks and sees a group of men walking into the room wearing the same jackets as Ryoga did, and with them is Ryoga. Katsuo recognized him and his dance team as well as the girls, Ichika, Chifuyu, and Maya.
Then Ryoga notices Katsuo staring quietly as he huffs. "Kazuraba, nice to meet you again," he said.
"Ryoga, what're you doing here," he asked, even if he doesn't want him here, he wondered if Ryoga decided to come here.
"Just simple, break" Ryoga replied before noticing Ichika is here as well.
But Ichika glares at him after the insult he said. "That's why you're here, I thought you would go somewhere fancy not this place. Everyone here is enjoying themselves" he said with an angry expression.
"Everybody can enter and have fun, like me, I wanna take it slow" Ryoga replied to his reason.
Then one of Ryoga members walked up to Ichika, he had dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, wearing a short jacket with the logo of Team Baron on it, a red button shirt, black pants and shoes. "Yeah, he's here for fun! Don't disrespect him!"
Ichika growled as he was about to walk up to him before Katsuo stopped him and held him down.
"Mark! Get back to your seat" Ryoga ordered as the young man known as Mark nodded and sat down including himself.
"I know he is in pain, but remember. Everybody here is having a good time, even if he's here" Katsuo muttered to him, Ichika still had the urge to walk up to him but let go and sat back down to his seat.
"Ichika, if there is a lesson I can teach, and that is don't let your anger get to you," Chifuyu said as Ichika tilted down his head as he growled.
"I know," Ichika replied before looking at Ryoga.
Houki, Cecilia, and Rin were staring at Team Baron and Ryoga as they all looked mad at him.
"What a jerk he is" Rin muttered angrily.
"If I ever have a rematch to him, I'd teach him a lesson with that attitude" Cecilia scowled with arms crossed.
"That guy" Houki muttered as she glared at him, but then she remembered back in the round when he mentioned a girl with bunny ears wondering this has something to do with a certain someone she knows.
Katsuo got back to work and gave drinks to the girls when he noticed that Laura was quiet all day. "Is everything wrong?" he asked, Laura didn't reply and turned away from him, Katsuo was about to say when he noticed that she looked sad.
"I….do not wanna see you…..after everything" she muttered after she accused him and tried to kill him with a knife, Laura has no right to speak to him.
"Look" Katuo sighs, "I know I may not be part of their family, but took care of me since I was young, I had no family, nor did I remember them" Laura was still unhappy after everything she has done to him. "But all I'm trying to say is that everyone has a reason, so I'll forgive you for attacking me" this surprised her with what he said. Laura was about to speak when someone opened the door so loudly and entered the room.
Yae walks up to him before she gets pushed and falls down to the floor. "Hey, what's your big idea!" she yelled.
Katsuo sighs as he gets up to deal with this, he suddenly stops and sees a familiar person.
"That's the guy who got loose from Ryoga" he muttered as he recognized him, the guy who got beat up by Ryoga the last time he saw him.
Jotaro walks up as he stands right behind Ryoga who took a sip of coffee and placed it down. "Oh, it's you" Ryoga recognized him.
Jotaro grits his teeth and clutches his fist he grabs Ryoga by the collar and carries him up. "I'll make you pay for what you did to me" he growled remembering the humiliation Ryoga did and he wants revenge.
"And how exactly will you do that? '' Ryoga scuffed, making Jotaro a lot angry than ever.
"Come down Jo" then a new voice spoke out revealing to be a young man with mid-brown hair, and green eyes. Wearing a gray button shirt, tan pants, white and gray shoes, a pink ascot around his neck, and glasses.
"Can it Bano, I need to do this," Jotaro growled at him as he still had a grudge on Ryoga.
The young man known as Bano walks up to lean towards his ear. "But this is the festival, everyone is having a great time" he pointed right out and looked around before he spotted Katsuo, before eyeing on Ichika and Chifuyu. "Let's take this action somewhere else, with no audience" he smirked.
Jotaro chuckled sinisterly as he and Bano dragged Ryoga out of the room when his team stood up as they were about to save their leader. But Ryoga looks back at them with a glare, they all stop as the two young men left with Ryoga in hands.
Katsuo looked suspicious before turning towards Team Baron. "Why didn't they stop them? He's your leader right?" he wondered why they didn't stop those two.
"When he glares at us, that means he'll take care of himself," Mark explained with his hands on his hips as the members nodded of agreement.
"And you're just gonna let him be!" Ichika shouted.
"That's how he is," Mark shrugged.
"Yeah, but not to me" Katsuo sighs before removing the cat's ears and tail off and head through the door.
"Katsuo! Where are you going!" Yae shouted, wondering where Katsuo was heading off.
"I'll just be right back! Don't worry!" Katsuo exclaimed in his response and followed them.
Then Suzuki walks into the room wondering what was happening in the room. "Uh, did I miss something?" he asked Yae as she shrugged in her response, she, Ahmyia, Jane, and Sora has no idea what is happening.
Ichika stood up and headed out through the door, so Houki, Cecilia, and Charle followed him. "Uh, should we follow them, what if they get hurt?" Maya wonders worriedly.
"We will after we get the check" Chifuyu said before noticing Laura who was frowning.
Rin just stood there as she looked and saw Suzuki standing in front of him as he saw her.
"You" Rin speechless when she sees him.
"Long time no see, Lingyin" Suzuki greeted him.
Outside of the school Katsuo rushed through the entrance door and looked around to find Ryoga with Jotaro and Bano, but with crowds of people in the school, he could barely spot them anywhere. "Where the hell are they?" He muttered himself wondering where they are. However, it was not long until he spotted them in the crowd, Katsuo ran down through the crowd, reached out his hand and grabbed Ryoga by the shoulders. "I got you!" He shouted.
But the shoulder he got wasn't them, it was a group of girls Katsuo was speechless and stepped back from them as they walked from him.
Just then he notices Ichika, Houki, Cecilia, and Charle approaching.
"What are you guys doing?" he asked them.
"We just wanna help? Even if that guy is a jerk" Ichika replied even when Ryoga is a jerk, he still looks concerned for those two.
"I don't need any help, but I kinda lost them," Katsuo said to them.
"You mean lost that jerk!" Houki shouted at him.
"Calm down Mrs. Shinonono, I'm sure there are still around here," Charl said, calming everyone down.
"Or not" then they all heard someone's voice as they saw Suzuki approaching. "Two aren't at school guards anymore, I saw them leaving their the gate" he explained
"And who are you?" Cecilia asked suspiciously.
"Sorry, my name is Suzuki Liyiua, I'm a friend of Kazuraba" Suzuki introduced himself to Ichika and the others. They were surprised to hear that and all turn their head towards him.
"It's true," he replied to them. "But do you know where they're going?'
"I do. Follow me" Suzuki said before he ran off as the group wondered where he was going.
"Well don't just stand there!" then Rin shouted as they heard her, Rin was running up to them. "C'mon he knows where they're going!" Rin hollered as she ran through them and followed Suzuki. They all agreed and followed Suzuki.
Meanwhile, for Ryoga who was being dragged by Jotaro and Bano, the two lead him into a dark alleyway, Jotaro pushes Ryoga as he stood still, he turns and sees the two of them. Jotaro cracked his knuckles, gritting his teeth, and chuckled sinisterly.
"So now, beat me up. Pathetic" Ryoga scowled and saw he was gonna this time.
"Oh, you'll see, because I got a surprise for you" Jotaro sneered knowing he is gonna win this time.
Bano watches them as he looks back and spots both Katsuo, Suzuki, Ichika, Houki, Cecilia, Rin, and Charle running up, he then pulls out his phone and calls someone.
"Two targets are approaching, but they brought a few more others, should I stall them: Bano called.
"No, let them pass" this causes Bano to be shocked. "Based on the boy wearing white clothing, he must be Orimura's little sibling, those other girls must be from the I.S Academy. Let them pass," the mysterious voice said through the phone. Bano nodded and put down the phone.
"And how are gonna beat me, I obtain another power to the I.S machine, what chance do you have?" Ryoga said.
"Ha, yeah, as do I" Jotaro huffed pulling out of his pocket is another Lockseed with the pinecone symbol on it and the code name 'L.S 01' on it.
"What?" Ryoga growled as he was surprised to see he has one of his own.
Just then Katsuo, Suzuki, Ichika, Houki, Cecilia, Charle, and Rin all came as Ryoga, and Jotaro noticed them coming.
"Tff, you" Jotaro scuffed, clicking his tongue. "What are you all doing here!"
"We just followed you, that's all," Suzuki said.
"Just forget beating that jerk," Katsuo said.
"Then why would you come here to help him?" Bano pointed out to him.
"Yeah he's a jerk, but why would you drag him to this place when no one is gonna see it?" Katsuo said pointing that they're in a dark alley where no one will see.
"Oh, there is a reason…... Kamen Rider Gaim" this causes Katsuo to gasp from what that guy said. "As well as Zangetsu, Baron, and Ryugen," Bano said the names of each rider that he knows, the group was shocked in awe.
"Wait how the hell did you know?" Charle wondered.
"Well, it's that simple" Bano sneered as he pulled out something and showed them another Lockseed with an acorn symbol and the codename 'L.S 0.3' on it.
"What!" Katsuo shouted in shock as he and the others were shocked when Bano had one of his own, Jotaro also showed his.
"And that's not the only thing we have" Jotaro smirked as he and Bano pulled out their own Sengoku Belt of their own.
"I thought you and the other were the only ones having those belts?!" Rin yelled.
"Where exactly did you get those?" Suzuki demanded to know.
"I know a guy that sells those belts," Bano replied.
"It doesn't matter because you are not the only Kamen Riders around anymore!" Jotaro hollered.
Both Jotaro and Bano place their Sengoku Belts around their waist each of their blank plate change. Jotaro plate changes to a picture of a black Japanese soldier helmet with the rainbow visor, and Bano plate changes to a brown medieval helmet with the rainbow visor, both of them bring out their Lockseed.
"Henshin!" both of them shouted as they pressed the button.
"DONGURI!"
"MATSUBOKKURI!"
Above their heads were zipper crack portals as they emerged two metallic nuts. Bano has an acorn above while Jotaro has a pinecone, the two inserted their Lockseed in and closed it.
"LOCK ON!"
The belt then made a standby tone, Jotaro's tone was similar to Gaim and Zangetsu, and Bano was similar to Baron the two of them pressed down the lever knife cutting the front. The Jotaro picture is inside a pinecone while at the button is a spear, Bano has a picture of an acorn inside while at the bottom is a hammer.
"COME ON!"
"SEIYA!"
The two nuts land down to their heads, Jotaro was donned into a black suit with silver bracers similar to Gaim's, while Bano was donned into a brown suit similar to Baron.
"DOGURI ARMS! NEVER GIVE UP!"
"MATSUBOKKURI ARMS! ICHIGEKI IN THE SHADOW!"
Inside of the metal acorn, Bano's head was covered in a face mask with visor yellow before a brown greek soldier helmet resembling an acorn drops down to his back head. Then the acorn unfolded into armour as the top becomes the shoulder pads, the chest has a round section, and in his hand is a hammer with an acorn style.
While for Jotaro with his head inside of a metal pinecone face was covered in a black mask of a traditional Japanese helmet with a headband across his forehead, silver straps and a yellow visor. The metal pinecone unfolds, the shoulder pads have black and brown parts on them, his back helmet was pointed at the top with the same parts as his armour. In his hand is a spear with pinecone-like underneath the blade.
"N-No way!" Katsuo gasped in shock.
"More Kamen Riders!" Ichika shouted as the others were shocked to see what happened.
"That's right," he yelped while twirling his spear before strapping it on the ground, "and call me Kamen Rider Kurokage" Jotaro named himself.
"Wait, we were supposed to name ourselves," Bano said in surprise as he thought of a name.
"This here is Gridon" this causes Bano to exclaimed in shock as he was displeased with that name.
Katsuo, Ichika, and Suzuki were surprised with that nickname, but the others were laughing at that name.
"Gridon, like the acorn? He could've called himself the Ornac" Houki lets a laugh.
"That's name is even worse," Rin laughed.
"A silly name if you ask me," Cecilia added.
"I agree with that," Charle agrees.
"Way a go jackass! Now I'm gonna be laughing" Bano who is now Gridon exclaimed angrily.
"Just stick with it! Kurokage shouted, advising him to go along with that name.
"I need a cooler name than this!" Gridon shouted.
The two of them arguing about the name-calling Ryoga looked at both of them before he started to chuckle and then laughed out loud this caught the attention of both Riders.
"Hey! What's so funny!" Kurokage demanded.
"Oh you think you can handle those powers unlike Kazuraba" this made Katsuo groaned when he mentions it. "But you won't last with them when you're against me, you clown."
"What was that!" Kurokage growled gripping his hand on his spear angrily.
"You shouldn't let people down from their appearance," Gridon pointed out while gently waving his hammer and placing it on his left hand.
"Then I'll see it for myself and the strong will survive against weaklings" Ryoga took out his Sengoku Belt and placed it on his waist before getting his Banana Lockseed. "Henshin," he said before activating it.
"BANANA!"
He twirling his Lockseed and inserted it into his belt before pressing the lever knife.
"LOCK ON! COME ON! BANANA ARMS! KNIGHT OF SPE~AR!"
The metallic banana lands down onto Ryoga's head transforming into Kamen Rider Baron as he enlarges his Banaspear and prepares to fight.
"Come at me, if you dare" Baron taunted both Riders Kurokage and Gridon charges towards.
But the others have concerns of one against two which is an unfair advantage for one person to face off.
"Uh, shouldn't you go in there?" Ichika asked, wondering if Katsuo is gonna aid him.
"He'll be fine, Ryoga will beat those two comparing to those two fight against Laura" Katsuo points out causing both girls to moan reminded of what happened back at the arena.
"He is taking care of this," Suzuki noted.
Kurokage swings down his spear before Baron deflected and pierce him in the chest. Gridon jumps up in the air and swings his hammer down, but Baron simply steps to the left causing Gridon to crash into Kurokage, both of them fall down to the ground.
"Are you done yet?" he asked.
"No where not!" Kurokage growled before charging with a battle cry he swung his spear downwards at him.
But Baron blocked his attack before pushing him before slashing him causing Kurokage to kneel down. Baron stares at them dully as he was not impressed by that two teamwork. "If you're gonna beat me, next time make yourselves fools" he advised.
Suddenly a can appeared out of nowhere and exploded to smoke causing Baron to be shocked by that, then Kurokage and Gridon stood up and charged towards the smoke and attacked Baron.
Everyone was shocked as they wondered what just happened.
Baron backed up after all of that damage he stabbed his Banaspear on the ground and held up. "What's the meaning of this?" he demanded.
"Well, it's like you said strong ones will survive" Gridon sneered.
"Now we're ending this!" Kurokage hollered excitedly.
The two of them press down their lever knife once.
"DONGURI SQUASH!"
"MATSUBOKKURI SQUASH!"
Kurokage jumps up in the air while Gridon spinning with a holographic illusion of an acorn Kurokage flies down and pierces Baron with his spear as black holographic pinecone exploded, then Gridon impacted Baron causing him to fly and fall down to the ground reverting back to his civilian state.
Ryoga groans in pain as he tries to get back up while Kurokage and Gridon walk up to him. "Now how's the clown now!" Kurokage laughs after seeing Ryoga finally fall down. "And I'm gonna make sure you'll never be as powerful!" He reverses the grip of his spear and raises it.
Katsuo gasps as he knows what he is going to do, he quickly places his belt and pulls out his Orange Lockseed.
"Henshin!" He shouted before pressing the button.
"ORANGE!"
He inserted his Orange Lockseed on his belt and pressed down the lever knife.
"LOCK ON! SEIYA! ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!"
Kurokage swings down his spear at him, Ryoga closes his eye only when Gaim blocks it with his Musou Saber and Daidaimaru, Ryoga was surprised to see him.
"What's the meaning of this!" Kurokage growled demanding to know.
"That's quite far enough!" Gaim shouted, pushing Kurokage back with both of his swords.
Kurokage nearly fell down when Gridon was caught, but Kurokage shoved him away angrily as he did not want any help. "What the hell are you doing!" Kurokage demanded.
"Winning is something you want, but killing someone is something I won't let that happen!" Gaim shouted at them.
"Then why protect him, he jerk just like you said!" Gridon points out as he remembers what Gaim said.
"Yes, that's what I said" Gaim nodded. "But he's better than fools like you jackass" this causes Kurokage angry he walks up to him before Gridon raises his arm at him stopping him and doesn't let Gaim get to him.
Gaim turned towards Ryoga and raised his hand out to him. "You alright?" he asked, as he offered to pull him up.
But Ryoga slaps his hand away and gets back up to his feet on his own, walking up to Kurokage and Bridon, he trembles a bit as Ryoga keeps standing. "Who the hell was that" he growled darkly.
"We don't know what you're talking about," Gridon replied.
"Don't play with me, you two hired someone! Who was it" Ryoga exclaimed, demanding to know who threw that can full of smoke at him.
"That can be arranged" then Gaim and Ryoga heard a different voice this time as they looked down to the dark part of the alleyway someone walks out of the shadow and reveals to be a tall muscle African man with, smooth bald head, and a scar on his chin. He was wearing a white tank top, dark green button shirt and pants, and black boots.
"Who the hell are you?" Ryoga growled and demanded to know who this guy is.
Group looks at him wondering who he is, but Charle looks worried for that reason as he walks back a bit to getaway. Ichika notices something off of him.
"The name Walter Felburt Ru, but you can call me Wars" he introduced himself to the two.
"Then what are you doing here?" Ryoga demands why that guy is here.
"Well, all of you were having a great time with those belts. Perhaps it's time for me to join in the fun" Wars said before pulling out another Sengoku Belt.
This surprised both of them.
"Why did you have that?" Gaim asked, first Jotaro and Bano got their belt and now this guy has one too.
Wars smirked as he placed the Sengoku Belt on his waist, the blank plate changed to a dark green helmet with spikes and a scar on one eye in front. He then pulled out a Lockseed with the symbol Durian and the code number 'L.S 12' on it.
"Henshin" Wars said before pressing the button opening the lock.
"DURIAN!"
A crack opened up as revealed to be a metallic green sphere with spikes hovering down to Wars' head, he placed his Lockseed in his belt and closed it.
"LOCK ON!"
The belt played guitar rock standby tune War stretches his arms out and then crossed them above his head, let his arms down his right arm was near his face before he pushes the lever knife down cutting the Durian Lockseed front, the front picture has a durian inside while at the bottom is a broadsword with spikes.
"DURIAN ARMS! MISTER DANGEROUS!"
The dark green sphere with spikes landed down on top of Wars' head and his body was donned into a lime suit with the torso has silver chains similar to Baron and Gridon with purple spiky on the vambrace, legging and brace. Inside his head was covered in a dark green mask with spikes, yellow visor eyes, a scar on his left eye, the back landed a back helmet with spikes and a red mohawk of a gladiator-style, the dark green spiky sphere unfolded into an armour the front has gray spikes of a t-shape part on his chest plate, and the side folded into shoulder pads. This is Kamen Rider Bravo.
Everyone was surprised to see that person transform into a Kamen Rider like him, Ryoga, Suzuki, and the rest.
"As he battles through the war zone in the military, I will survive an arena coliseum pit of Caesar Rome, I Bravo will entertain the citizens and surpass those who stand against me!" He introduced himself out loud. "Now, Gaim let's see what you can really do."
Bravo walked up to him as Gaim was in a defensive stance and prepared for what was going to come to that guy. But once Bravo swings both of his swords down as Gaim black downs with his Musou Saber and Daidaimaru, unfortunately, Bravo manages to break through as he slashes down sending Gaim critical damage.
Gaim nearly fell down but managed to get back up and kept going before swinging his Musou Saber before Bravo jumped up to dodge and kicked Gaim in the face. Then he jumps over him and slashes Gaim from behind causing Gaim to fall down on the ground in critical injury.
"Holy crap that guy is tough!" Ichika was speechless as he and the girls were surprised.
"That's no ordinary man," Charle said as everyone looked at her.
"You heard of him?" Rin asked him.
"Fourteen he was a military elite soldier back in France until Walter retired and started a bakery. But this is much more than just a soldier, I also he used to be a mercenary for hire, not to mention some of his techniques were a bit brutal" Charle explained as this causes the group to be worried.
Gaim swings his swords to the horizontal to the left Bravo deflected with his left broadsword before and slaps Gaim in the thigh causing Gaim to feel pain as the broadswords of Brave have spikes on the centre of both blades and fall down.
Then Bravo grabs Gaim by his armour chest and tosses him up in the air before falling back down. "Un deux trois!" Bravo counts down in french as Gaim falls down and lands on top of Bravo's mohawk, Gaim cries out in pain and falls down reverting back to his civilian state.
The others were shocked when Katsuo was defeated by Bravo's brutal way. Ichika can't watch this anymore, he ran down to him but the girls tried to stop him but they were too late.
"Katsuo! Katsuo are you alright!" Ichika called out to him asking if he was alright.
"I'll survive, don't worry" Katsuo groaned in response.
"Qu'avons-nous ici? Attende, you're the only male pilot in the world. Ichika Orimura" Bravo said as he recognized him as the only Male I.S Pilot. "Hm, not much of a man up close."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ichika asked suspiciously with his eyes narrowed wondering what he meant by that.
"Ichika Orimura, the first male to ever pilot but you never exactly prove yourself of being a man," Bravo said this Ichika as this causing him to lose his emotion. "Not even fit to be with your sister since you let her lose her streak during the Mondo Grosso."
That crosses the line. "That's it! I'll show you what I can do!" Ichika growled in anger as he got up and charged towards him.
But Bravo easily grabbed Ichika by the neck and raised him up causing Ichika to choke. "If that's what the Orimura has to offer for me, a pathetic like you is weak letting her sister save you like that you are a disgrace for having a brother to her," he said, but Ichika didn't listen as he glared at him and tried to free himself. But struggled as he could not get out.
"Hey, you let him go or I swear I'll show you no mercy" Houki shouted as Rin and Cecilia were with her, but Charle was walking away from them as he tried to hide.
"Pardon? Oh the three representatives of the I.S are here. China, England, as well as France" Bravo recognized all of them I.S Pilot representatives he eye on Charle.
Charle looked worried as he gulped and stood there as Bravo was staring thoroughly before turning to the three girls again.
"And why would I do that, I can handle I.S Pilot but you're worth my time," Bravo said.
"I beg your pardon!" Cecilia shouted as she and Rin growled at what he said.
"I'm talking to the girl with the ponytail, the younger sibling to the maker of the I.S machines" Houki knows how he was talking about as he grumbled with her eyes narrowed. "She's a skillful swordsmanship put not on the bright side."
"Excuse me!" Houki snapped.
"You can't hide your feelings forever but those feelings will let someone get hurt as you will sit on the sidelines," Bravo said.
This made him as Houki grip her face as he was about to step in and charge towards Bravo. "That's enough!" Then someone voices out as they look and see Chifuyu marching down as Maya Suzuki and Laura come in. "Put him down!" he ordered with a stern depression.
Bravo stared at her and responded by letting go of Ichika as he fell down on the ground, Bravo opened his Lockseed and removed it reverting back to his civilian state.
"Chifuyu Orimura, former contestant of the Mondo Grosso who is now a teacher to the I.S Academy," Wars said as he recognized her.
"And you must be Walter Felburt Ru, a former military elite who is now a baker. Long time no see Wars from France" Chifuyu remembered him as well and the group were surprised that she knows him as well.
"So this is the weak little sibling you save when you forfeit your match only to save this….faible boy" Wars said but Ichika was still angry and tried to get up.
"This faible boy may be weak but he is honest and kind to people, unlike you" Chifuyu sterned of him.
"And he is, the faible maybe standing up to others, he's not one brightest but naive, clouded to the people he helps but getting let down to those who never speak the truth behind the scene," Wars said spreading his arm and walking up to her.
"I think you should leave, and never get near him again" Chifuyu declared darkly with a glare at Wars.
"Okay, but this is not over just yet because I have a proposal for you," Wars said.
This got Chifuyu to listen. "Go on then?" She asks and hears what he wants to say.
"I want you to choose one of the best of the best fighters you can bring to battle in a private battle royale! Team battle of two of who will be triumphant!" Wars expressed out loud.
"So you want me to form a team to beat your team?" Chifuyu wondered with her arms crossed.
"Yea but those teams must be required to have this belt, and I'm not talking about the I.S Pilot, they're permitted to enter" this causes the girls to glare at him for what he said.
"Why are doing this, for amazement?" Chifuyu asked suspiciously.
"There are three reasons, I want to relive the battle once more when I was back in the military. I want to see if there's anyone out there to challenge me. And the third reason" Wars leans down to the Chifuyu ear and whispers in conversation with fire leaning back.
"And what if my team wins?" Chifuyu asked, wondering if she got something.
"Then I will drop everything that happened, I'll keep the secret of all of their identity a secret, all of it" Wars swore to her. "But if you lose, you're gonna have to give up one of your class Representatives" this causes everyone to be shocked by what he said if his team wins. "All except for young Orimura, he too weak to join my ranks" Ichika growled of what he said, "especially that girl related to the maker of the I.S Machine who doesn't have one like the others" Wars stares directly at Houki as she glares at him with her teeth-gritting, but what he said was true since she is the only person who doesn't have her own personal I.S Machine. "I should probably get going," he said, turning his back and walking away from Chifuyu.
But then he stops and tosses something hurling towards Chifuyu before she catches it with his right hand and sees a card on it saying.
"Be there at nine o'clock sharp!" Wars shouted before he, Kurokage and Gridon left the area.
Chifuyu looks at the card and she wonders what Wars' battle royal is all about. For Ichika he gritted his teeth and clenched his fist while thinking those words Wars said and all of them were true.
After that, the group went back to the school as the school festival was almost over they were all in the cafe room and were having a conversation about the Battle Royale. But for Ichika he was yelling at his older sister.
"Come on! You gotta let me enter!" Ichika shouted at his older sister as he wanted to enter the Battle Royale.
"Unacceptable" Chifuyu replied back to her little brother. "I can't let you and the others enter in, it's not what you were trained for."
Ichika looks down, letting out a groan and gritting his teeth.
"Listen to your older sibling" Ryoga walks in with his arms crossed. "The Battle Royale is for those who have this, they are not expecting I.S Pilot to enter in. Besides, that man was right, you're not the strongest man even piloting an I.S."
Ichika growled as he walked up to him. "That's enough!" Chifuyu snapped out as both Ichika and Ryoga looked at her. "I heard enough bickering and argument, we're all in the same teams."
"I don't need to team up for this battle," Ryoga said.
"You are because I'm putting in along with Katsuo, Suzuki, Hakaru" Chifuyu said.
"You can't be serious!" Katsuo shouted as he looked at Ryoga as he was not teaming up with him.
"Just go with it, besides, Wars aren't gonna get beat down by some teenagers like you, he'll stop at nothing until he is the last one standing!" Chifuyu shouted.
Suzuki raised his eyes, suspicious of how she knows this guy well. "You seem to know all about this guy very well. Did you two have a history?" He asked her.
"Unfortunately we only met before Mondo Grosso, but he and I don't exactly get along and that's all you need to hear" Chifuyu explained to them.
"Okay, but what said all those things you said to him, he wants to defeat you so badly, but he hired those other two," Katsuo said.
"Wars is a type of man that will train anyone and turn them into tactical and invincible soldiers, but none of them were able to get through his harsh course" Chifuyu continued talking.
"So that means those two are with that man as students" Maya noted that Bano and Jotaro are Wars students.
"Ha, good luck with those guys" Ryoga chuckled.
"As for the rest of you, I will be there and watch the Riders down the matches" Chifuyu strategies the plan to them.
"Wait! We're just gonna sit there and watch!" Rin shouted.
"I'm sorry Mr. Huang, but this is what I.S Pilot is for, remember what he said to compete with those Sengoku Belts," Maya said to them.
"Then give us these Belts to enter! I will show that ruffian against Cecilia Alcott Englan-!"
"Absolutely not!" This causes Cecilia to be silent. "I am not dragging all of you into this, as your teacher I forbid all of you from entering this battle! This is something that the Kamen Riders would do!"
Cecilia nodded to her response but not for Houki as she was still made of what Wars said to her especially when he mentioned the I.S machine, the more she thinks about it when Ichika, Cecilia, Rin and Charle were the only I.S Pilots that have they own personal I.S Machine, the more she feels powerless. She is the only one as Ichika wants to enter that battle so badly, he wants to take down Wars of what he said, he grips his fist hard and gritted his teeth angrily.
Unknown to him, Katsuo looks at him and he knows that look.
An hour later Ichika went up to the school rooftop to be alone, he looked down at the ground frowning when Chifuyu forbade him from entering since it was for the Kamen Riders.
"Apathetic like you is weak letting her sister save you like that"
Ichika kept hearing the voice of what Wars said, he gripped his fist tightly and gritted his teeth.
"Ichika" then he heard someone calling as he turned around and saw Katsuo.
"Not now, not in a mood" Ichika sighs before turning away from him.
"Look I know you want to enter so badly, but this isn't your fight," Katsuo said.
"Great, you sounded just like Chifuyu" Ichika sighs in a deep voice.
"All I'm saying is something you should stay out of this one, Chifuyu and I are already getting ourselves into this mess and we don't want you to drag into this" Katsuo said, he doesn't want Ichika to get into this as well.
"Well, then why can't I be like you and Chifuyu?" He asked.
Katsuo looks down and thinks, should he tell him that the Inves that keep attacking the I.S Academy because they were once humans, he frowned wondering if he should tell Ichika. "It's…..something for another time" He lied to him as this is not the time yet. "But don't let that guy get to you, he's getting to you."
"Then what am I supposed to do, let him get away?" Ichika asked.
"No, don't worry, others and I will take him and his crew down for what he did," Katsuo replied.
"That's not the point!" Ichika shouted.
"Then what is so important to join!" Katsuo hollered back at his stepbrother as he wondered why this is so important to him.
Ichika grip his fist before turning away from Katsuo letting him lean toward the fences while gripping his hand and tilt his head down. "I just want to be stronger then, just like you and Chifuyu, I feel like I'm being saved" he replied feeling so powerless he has to be the one to be rescued by them.
Katsuo blinked from what he said. "C'mon, you've already proven yourself, you're the first man to go to an All-Girl-Boarding-School, piloting an I.S, and you were the only one that still believed in me when that fake Katsuo was impersonating me," he said.
"I know, sometimes I am not getting stronger at all, and I want to do more than just being a pilot, something more," Ichika said.
"What are you saying? That you want to become like me and Chifuyu?" Katsuo asked suspiciously.
Then Ichika turns around and walks up to Katsuo. "I just want to be stronger like you and Chifuyu, I want to become a Kamen Rider so that I can protect everyone I know" he declared.
But Katsuo was not sure of getting Ichika involved in this, but the way he has been acting and what with the three Riders. Unknown to them Houki was eavesdropping through the gap door, she frowned while sitting on the stairs Houki understood everything that Ichika said, the more she thought the more power she felt useless as well.
In an unknown location of an abandoned warehouse outside of the city, Katsuo, Ryoga, Suzuki, Hakaru, Ichika, Houki, Cecilia, Rin, Charle, Maya and Chifuyu finally arrived, standing in front of a large door.
"This is the location for the Battle Royale?" Cecilia said in disgust she looked at that place.
"That guy did,'' said Private Battle Royale, so he had to pick a place like this," Katsuo pointed out to her.
"I don't know about private, but you might wanna see this" Suzuki spoke as he showed the other his phone and saw what was happening.
"Hellooooo! And welcome to this special video today, as this will be a Private Battle Royal!" Sagura shouted in excitement. "Against the team-up of Kamen Riders, Gaim, Baron, Ryugen, and Zangetsu! Taking on a new Kamen Rider, Bravo with his team Kurokage and Gridon!"
"How the heck did that guy find out?" Rin said suspiciously as she and the other wondered how that guy knew about that.
Then the door opened up in front of them, the one person they saw was Wars standing up to them and with him was Kurokage and Gridon.
"Ah good, you all finally came," Wars said, spreading his arms. But the group wasn't exactly happy with him and the two Riders, especially with Ichika and Houki who were glaring at him, but Wars didn't seem to care as he just smirked. "Then come on in as we will start this battle!"
The group all entering the abandoned warehouse they see people shouting out cheering lots of noise, and a large pit with the arena. Wars then went up to the top with them as a spotlight shines on him.
"Attention audience! Welcome to the Battle Royal where the strongest Rider has come to prove themselves who is the strongest warrior there is!" Wars shouted out and the entire audience roared out cheering. "Introducing our opponent is the Riders who defended the boarding school for girls known as the I.S Academy, including the so-called man to pilot an I.S!" as the spotlight shines on the group all they got was the crowd booed.
"Well, there's a tough crowd here?" Ryoga said he observed the warehouse and saw some of the crowd were booing at him, but he did not care and only focused on Wars with those two cloaked figures.
"Now let's get this started!" Wars shouted for the first round. "The first warrior will be Kamen Rider Gaim versus Kamen Rider Kurokage!"
"Get ready Gaim, because you're going down first" Kurokage scowled at him before he entered the dome.
Katsuo lets out a sigh. "Well, guess I'm going next" he grumbled before walking in.
"Wait! Katsuo!" He stops and turns around only to see Ichika as he pulls something out of his pocket and shows Katsuo the I.S Lockseed. "Here, I want you to use this," Ichika advised him.
Katsuo blinked in confusion. "You sure about this?" he wondered.
"Yeah, you can use all the power you need," Ichika said before looking down at the ground.
"Ichika, I'm not sure about" Katsuo is concerned.
"Of course, use my I.S Machines powers to win this" Ichika advised before walking away from him.
Katsuo looks at the I.S Lockseed as he was still unsure of using this but he let out a sigh knowing that Ichika can not enter in. He steps into the pit walking up as Kurokage was waiting for him to come.
"Well. What are you waiting for?" Kurokage grunted waiting for Katsuo to transform.
Katsuo doesn't like all of this, but he has no choice after what happened with that guy he said negative things to Ichika he wasn't gonna let him get away. So he placed his Sengoku Driver on and pulled out his Orange Lockseed as he activated.
"Henshin."
"ORANGE!"
A crack opened up as the orange sphere hovered down, Katsuo did his pose and placed his Orange Lockseed into his belt. He closed it and pressed down the lever knife.
"LOCK ON! SEIYA! ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!"
The orange sphere landed down on his head and it unfolded, transforming Katsuo into Kamen Rider Gaim, as he held both Daidaimaru and Musou Saber in both hands.
"Now for the rules. THERE ARE NO RULES!" Wars exclaimed out loud the crowd screamed out loud. "Now the first battle begins!" he calls out as the first match starts.
"Let's pick up where we're left off" Kurokage snickered as he took the first attack and charged towards Gaim, straight stabbing his spear.
Gaim dodges his attack as he swings his Musou Saber, Kurokage manages to deflect that attack, he pushes Gaim as Kurokage jumps up and straight pierces at him. But Gaim blocked Kurokage's attack with both swords and held his ground.
"This is what you get for getting the chance of winning!" Kurokage growled.
"By killing to win! That's not how you finally win from him!" Gaim shouted at him.
"Then how about reinforcements!" Then a few of the crowd jumps into the large pit, Gaim looks around and finds himself surrounded.
"Hey! That is totally unacceptable! More against one!" Cecilia scowled seeing this fight.
"Can't we go down there and help" Charle advised to go down there and help Gaim.
"That's still unacceptable," Chifuyu replied in denial.
"What!? You can't be serious!?" Rin shouted at her.
"I am serious and I'm not letting you all get into this fight," Chifuyu said sternly to all of them.
The others look mad at Chifuyu but they are also worried for Gaim down there.
"Come on this can not be legal!" Gaim scowled, Kurokage chuckled while twirling his spear.
"Well, there are no rules but one. Winning is what this is all about with these belts" Kurokage bragged, patting his Sengoku Driver.
Gaim hears what Kurokage said he grips his hand on his Daidaimaru handle angrily. "That's not what these belts are for," he growled. "These belts are for protecting everyone from Inves and those who use them in the wrong way!"
"So what is it to you?" Kurokage grunted as some crowd who were in the arena dome agreed with him.
"Using those belts is our responsibility to ensure that the world is safer from harm. But if you think that belt is gonna make you popular, then you have no right to be a Kamen Rider!"
"Pff, as I care about what rules you made up, the only thing I care about is winning, and you can't beat that!" Kurokage hollered before charging towards him, he swung his spear downwards at Gaim, but then Gaim quickly combined both of his swords into a Nigata mode, deflecting Kurokage's spear.
"Even so, there's no way I'm gonna lose to someone like you!" Gaim exclaimed as he pulled out his Byakushiki Lockseed and activated it.
"BYAKUSHIKI!"
It was not long until Ichika's I.S appeared, Byakushiki hovered over him causing Kurokage to be shocked as the crowd went silent as they saw the I.S in front of them. Gaim inserted the I.S Lockseed into his belt, he closed it and pressed down the lever knife.
"LOCK ON! SOYIA! BYAKUSHIKI ARMS! AKARUI HIKARI! FROM THE SKY!"
The Byakushiki I.S covers Gaim's entire body as it glows brightly before dying down, Gaim changes into Byakushiki Arms. The crowd was shocked to see what just happened including Kurokage. Wars was surprised and narrowed his eyes making an analysis of Gaim's armour.
"What the hell kind of armour is that!" Kurokage growled in demand.
"Like I'm gonna tell you this, as for you back up" Gaim flies in the air as he catches one of the crowd and circles around knocking everyone with one man. "It's just you and me!" Gaim hollered as he charged up with his Yukihira.
Kurokage deflected as Gaim flies up above him before he flies down and swings downwards with his Yukihira, Kurokage swings his spear as they block each other several times both Riders backed up away from each other.
"I'm not done. I'm never done until I get what I want!" Kurokage exclaimed angrily as he pressed down the lever knife three times.
"SOIYA! MATSUBOKKURI SPARKING!"
Kurokage jumps in the air and spins rapidly, he dives like a drill towards Gaim.
But then Gaim quickly presses down the lever knife three times.
"SOYIA! BYAKUSHIKI SPARKING!"
Gaim also jumps in the air and spins rapidly the two collide with each other creating a powerful force the crowd braced themselves as well as Ichika and the others.
Then the two exploded into smokes Kurokage was flying towards a wall and crashed into him causing him to revert back to his civilian form. Jotaro tries to get up but trembles before he notices a shadow and sees Gaim standing in front.
"I think you shouldn't go any further, at least this once" Gaim advised him to end this round.
Jotaro glares at him growling but lets out his grip and gives up this round, with that Gaim won this round.
"Congrat to the Chifuyu team for winning but it also cost you to lose a point," Wars said.
"What!" Gaim shouted.
"But Gaim won did he!" Ichika shouted at Wars.
"Clear yes, however but using an unknown Lockseed is strictly against the rules" Wars decreed.
"You didn't say that you said that there are no rules!" Houki shouted.
"Yes but let's not forget this is my territory and when I said it goes, goes" Wars sneered at them causing both Ichika and Houki enraged by what he said.
"Then I will accept," Chifuyu replied.
"Oh come on you can't be serious!" Gaim shouted after hearing her reply.
"What he said is true, whatever he says goes, goes," Chifuyu said as Gaim could not believe her. But he wasn't the only one as the group was shocked by what she said.
"This is unfair!" Cecilia shouted.
"He can't just change the rules like that!" Rin was angered when Wars changed the rule. "Laura says something unfair!" She then turns to Laura asking her all of this. But for some reason, Laura was quiet and frowning and she didn't reply back to Rin.
"All right then let's go on to the next round!" Wars fall out to the next round.
Charle was quiet to himself but he understands but was also has a worrying concern about Wars the most. Just then he then notices Hakaru approaching up. "Oh, Mr. Moro, is something wrong, " he asked him.
"Just call me Hakaru and I wanna ask you something," he replied as Charle blinked, wondering what he wanted to talk about. "You're from a company that manufactures I.S Machines and your father owns that company."
"Yes?" Charle relies back on him.
"I just want to know, just tell me…..who are you?" Hakaru asked.
"What are you talking about?" Charle asked.
"When you told me you were the third male to pilot an I.S Machine, but why didn't everyone know about this, there is no way someone like you can control an I.S Machine like Ichika. Now, who you really" Hakaru demanded.
Charle was speechless trying to answer Hakaru's question. "Well…..I…...I" but he just stammered with his mouth opened and looked at the eyes of Hakaru, he couldn't reply back.
"Can't believe that guy" Gaim grunted before reverting back to his civilian state, the others approached him.
"This isn't fair, you should've won" Ichika scowled.
"That jackass is just cheating to win!" Houki yells angrily after seeing Wars switch the rules.
"Well there's nothing I can do," Katsuo sighs, causing the group to be shocked.
"You're letting him win!" Rin shouted.
"This is disgraceful and unacceptable! The real winner should be our team not his team" Cecilia said as it should have been this team.
"I'm sorry! I don't know why Chifuyu just let him do that" Katsuo said to them. Then he noticed something at the gateway as he saw the group's teacher Maya with two people with her. "Hey! What are you doing!" he calls out.
The two people heard him and opened the door and dragged Maya out.
"Let me go! Help! Help me!" Maya shouted.
The group was shocked when those two guys kidnapped their teacher.
"Hey, that's our teacher!" Ichika hollered angrily as he ran after them. And followed them leading outside.
But then all of a sudden two men pull out something from their pockets revealing to be Lockseeds as they activate two crack summoning Inves: Shika Inves and Komori Inves.
The group and Katsuo were surprised when they saw that he decided to run and head down towards them. But then the large door suddenly closes in front of them, Katsuo and the other to stop wondering who closed it.
"Oh, I'm sorry were you about to leave we were just about to start" Wars chuckled. The group glared angrily that this was a trick by him.
"Rrrhhh we fall into a trap!" Rin yelled.
"How could you not know!" Cecilia shouted at him.
"He should've looked before leaping in" Houki grumbled.
Outside of the warehouse.
"Why do I get the feeling that I fell for it?" Ichika murmured as he had a bad feeling about this.
The two men pull out something from their pockets revealing to be Lockseeds as they activate two crack summoning Inves: Shika Inves and Komori Inves.
Ichika backed up a bit as he had nowhere to run, but just then Hakaru appeared as this surprised all of them.
"Next time look before leaping into a trap. I'll take care of this" Hakaru said to his friend. He pulled out his Sengoku Driver and placed it around his waist before getting his Melon Lockseed.
"Henshin" Hakaru said before as he activated his Melon Lockseed.
"MELON!"
He inserted his Melon Lockseed onto his belt before closing and pressing down the lever knife.
"LOCK ON! SOIYA! MELON ARMS! TENKA GOMEN!"
Hakaru transforms into Kamen Rider Zangetsu as he rushes in towards the Shika Inves and Komori Inves.
Ichika watches this as he frowns tilting his head down feeling nothing but useless. He should fight those Inves but all Ichika could be doing nothing. Then all of a sudden a cyan circled appeared just like back in the arena from the I.S Academy he wondered what was happening. Ichika was confused before his body glowed brightly and he disappeared causing the girls to be shocked.
"Ichika!" Houki hollered.
(Meanwhile back at the fight)
In the pit down there was Gordon who disliked that hand as Suzuki was down there as he placed his Sengoku Driver and pulled out his Budou Lockseed.
"Henshin" Suzuki said before activating it.
"BUDOU!"
A crack opened up a metallic grape emerged, Suzuki did his pose before inserting it into his belt and locked it before pressing down the lever knife.
"HA! BUDOU ARMS! RYU HO! HA! HA! HA!"
The metallic grape drops down onto his head and unfolds into an armour, Suzuki transforms into Kamen Rider Ryugen and is ready for the second round.
"In this second round, Kamen Rider Ryugen versus Kamen Rider Gridon!" Wars announced.
Just as they were about to fight, the entire crowd burst out laughing when they heard the name 'Gridon' as it is one of the ridiculous names they have ever heard. Gridon groaned by everyone laughing at his name.
"I should've named myself, that's a lot Jo" Gridon growled blaming Jotaro for that name.
"Now the second round. Fight!" Wars shouted as the second match started.
Gridon took the first attack as he charged up towards and swung his war hammer down several times. Ryugen quickly dodges before he deflected with his left arm before kicking him in the stomach Gridon, Ryugen pulls out his Budou Ryuhou and aims it at Gridon.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! You can't use guns, that's cheating anyway!" Gridon declaring out with his arms waving.
"That is just pathetic," Katsuo murmured as the girls agreed to this.
"You know what, you're right" this shocked the group of what he said, Ryugen looked at his Budou Ryuhou he was getting something out and revealed to have a new Lockseed with a symbol of a kiwi and the code number is 'L.S 13' on it. "I think I should choose a new weapon," Ryugen said before activating his new Lockseed.
"KIWI!"
When a crack opened up a brown metallic object resembles a kiwi, Ryugen replaces his Budou Lockseed and inserted his new Kiwi Lockseed into his belt as he closes, he presses down the lever knife as the front of the Kiwi Lockseed was cut the top has the inside of a kiwi, and at the bottom is chakram on it.
"HAI! KIWKI ARMS! GEKI! RIN! SEI-YA HA!"
Then the metallic kiwi drops down onto Ryugen head and it opens up and unfolds into an armour, with the ends folded into shoulder pads, and the other section form of a chest plate with a kiwi half slice. His eyes change to a style of the sliced kiwi, and his helmet is brown with fins-like on each side. In his hands are two large chakrams with the style of kiwi. This is Kamen Rider Ryugen Kiwi Arms.
"Kiwi?" Rin was speechless when she saw him changing forms.
"Uh, can I just call it a time out" Gridon muttered begging this should be put on hold?
Ryugen didn't reply as the only response he charges towards him as he swings one of the large chakrams at Gridon.
Ichika opens his eyes while making growling noises, he gets up when he realizes that he found himself in Helheim's forest. "Oh great, not this place," he said worried looking around at the forest, Ichika also finds himself the only one who is here and alone with no Katsuo and the other with him.
Or so he thought when he heard someone heading this way revealing it to be Kamuro. "Do not be afraid, it's just me," she said.
Ichika was shocked as he remembered that mysterious Rider when she saved him and Katsuo from Bujin Gaim back at the Arena. However, that is not the only thing he remembers.
"You, I remember you. You saved me and Katsuo from Bujin Gaim, but I wanna ask you something, are you the same one when Katsuo was being kidnapped?" Ichika asked if she was the one back three years ago.
"You can say that" Kamuro replied tilting her head down gripping tightly on her spear. "Tell me, what kind of power would you use," Ichika blinked, confused by Kamuro's question. "When people you know in love did everything in their path to protect you, do you feel safe...or guilt?"
"Well…" Ichika was speechless when he tilted his head down in a sad expression. "I know they're trying to protect everyone and me, but the only thing I'm doing is getting them in their way," Ichika raises his right hand to his chest and clutches his hand. "I can't just sit there doing nothing and let them burden me, I want power what Katsuo has, to protect not just my I.S Machine but fight with him to the end!" he shouted out loud in decreed.
Kamuro listens to what Ichika said, she turns around and walks up to a tree. "If you have the power it would be a burden to a path you will regret," she said but Ichika stood there with a serious expression as he was not gonna back down. "But if that's the bath you will take, that path will be your strength" she turns around to Ichika Kamuro raises her arm at him when she reveals to him a Sengoku Belt with a blank plate.
Ichika was shocked, speechless of what he saw her holding a belt similar to the others.
"But remember, taking this path will be a burden of your own, that path will be one and leave everything of what you know," Kamuro said to him while Ichika looked at her before looking back at the belt, wondering this path will take for him.
