Stage 13: Summer Trip
I do not own Kamen Rider or Infinite Stratos
The sun was shining on the sands of the beach, blue sky clear with no clouds, wide-open seas, and beautiful for vacationers. Especially visitors who are staying here for a couple of days, all of the girls of the I.S Academy came for a summer trip.
"Ah man, look at the view!" Ichika smiled as he saw the beach view. All of the girls saw it after getting off of the bus.
However, there was one person who wasn't happy. "Tell me….. Why am I here?" Katsuo grumbled with his arms crossed.
"What's wrong with coming to the Resort?" Charlotte wondered who was once disguised as a boy when she entered the I.S Academy. Now she is wearing the uniforms that are female with a short bit skirt, and red and white sneakers.
"It's not the Resort I don't like but exactly am I here I don't go to your school" he grumbled wondering why he came.
"Oh don't be like that, it's just a ton of thank you for saving our Academy and sorry for the trouble of your doppelganger" Maya explained the reason why he is here.
"I guess but" He muttered as Katsuo's cheeks were red as some of the girls were talking to him on the bus on their way here, it was kinda embarrassing for him to be in an Academy just only for girls but one boy.
"Oh come on you're not that embarrassed to be in a school full of girls" Houki called out as she, Cecilia and Rin approached him while holding their luggage. "You handle an army of Inves and take down a Kamen Rider."
"You may be all and mighty in that suit, but you're just a kid" Cecilia points out with her arms crossed.
"You know we're the same age right?" Katsuo said to them dully. "
"It's true, I can't seem to face an army of girls who love to be with you," Rin nodded.
"Oh, says the girls are trying to impress a boy you all have in common, well at least some who's perfect for him," Katsuo said with his eyes narrowed.
"Grh!" The three girls all gawked as they knew who he was walking about.
"Shut up Kazuraba!"
"What do you mean by some of us?"
"I dare to say that to my face again!"
As they all argued with each other some of the Riders such as Suzuki and Hakaru who were also here with the Academy.
"Such noise," Hakaru muttered.
"You could say that again," Suzuki agreed with him.
"But this is exactly what you need, a day off after all that hard day, fighting the Inves not to mention battle with the other Kamen Riders," Charlotte said, ensuring to him it will be a calm and quiet day.
But not all of them happened as Laura was still unhappy when Chifuyu noticed her expression. Hopefully, this will be a relaxing day. I hope so.

"It's eleven o'clock right now everyone, you're free to do what you want til sunset okay! Just make sure you get back to the guesthouse in time for dinner, you got that!" Maya called out to everyone as she was wearing a gray hoodie sweater.
Soon all of the girls run downKatsuo's to the beach and have fun times, Ichika and Katsuo were there and see the view.
"Aaahhh, this is just great, right Katsuo" Ichika smiled as he was shirtless from his top as he was only wearing his dark blue trunks.
"I don't know if I should be here," Katsuo muttered while wearing an orange button shirt, and blue trunks with yellow lining.
"Come on, it's not bad at all, once you get to know them better" Ichika assured him.
"Probably because you've been hanging around with them in an Academy full of girls, no wonder the others were jealous," Katsuo said as he thought his reason for Houki, Cecilia, and Rin were fighting over him.
"What was that?" Ichika asked him.
"Forget it" Katsuo replied, shrugging his shoulders as Ichika was clueless about what he said. "What exactly do they see in that dense mind?"
Just then some of the girls approach the two of them.
"Hey! I know you!"
"You….do?" Katsuo blinks as he sees a girl wearing a fox outfit.
"Of course, you're the one who saved me from that scary monster! My name is Honne Nohotoke, nice to meet you!" Honne introduced himself to him as the other girls appeared around Katsuo.
"No way it is you!" then another girl Aries out of excitement.
This girl has dark magenta short hair and eyes as she is wearing a two-piece light blue stripe horizontal swimsuit as she introduced herself to him.
"So hi! My name is Kiyoka Aikawa, back in the Academy I'm on a handball team, and I'm into sports and jogging! Thank you for saving our lives!" She introduced herself before bowing at him with her right arm raised at him offering him a handshake.
Katsuo's sweat drops before seeing that some of the girls are surrounding him as they bowed at him with their right arms raised at him offing him a handshake.
"Thank you for saving our lives!" Katsuo was speechless as he didn't know what to do while Ichika chuckled himself with his right hand scratching his right cheek remembering the day when all of the girls introduced themselves to him during the time where he was teaching them how to use an I.S machine.
"So super orange man, do you wanna play sand castle with me!" Honne offers him.
"No play volleyball with us!"
"Come with me into the water!"
Katsuo blinked in confusion as he saw some of the girls that wanted to hang out, he felt a bit embarrassed but confused about which one. "Is this what is popular, okay now I know how Ichika felt when he arrived there" he thought to himself.
"Great, while you girls go hang out with him!" Rin hollered wearing an orange two-piece swimsuit, black ribbon on the right of the boyshorts, and black string on the top, as she went on top of Ichika. "Ichika and I will hang out together!"
"Rin what are you doing!" Ichika shrieks, wondering what she is doing.
Rin looks around the view of the beach while sitting on Ichika's shoulders as he feels uncomfortable and confused about what Rin is doing. "Wow, I'm so high! I can see far!" She laughs in enjoyment.
Katsuo blinks when he sees Rin sitting on Ichika's shoulder while he carries her, Suzuki walks into the group as he was shirtless, only wearing a green with purple lining.
"Mrs. Huang, you need to pull yourself together," Suzuki said to her with his arms crossed.
But Rin just stares at him while the other looks at both in confusion. "I don't need help from you, I can take care of myself, after all, I'm an I.S pilot," she said before turning away from him. "I don't need any more help," Rin said to him as Suzuki turned around as well.
"Uh… I'm gonna ask but do you two know each other?" Katsuo wondered as the others were wondering as well.
Rin looks away from Katsuo who isn't replying to his question but Suzuki replies. "The two of us used to be in the same class back in sixth grade" this causes all of them to be shocked as Rin falls before doing an acrobatic handstand flip and lands on the ground safe.
"Rin didn't tell me you and Suzuki were in the same class!" Ichika gasps at her.
As Rin gritted her teeth she turns towards Katsuo and glares at him. "This is your fault!" she shouted at him.
"How is that my fault! I just asked!" Katsuo shouted at her.
As the two glared at each other when Cecilia walked in wearing a blue bikini with a blue sarong, she was carrying a rolled-up yellow towel and an umbrella.
"Ichika I'm here for that promise you made for me," Cecilia said smiling.
"What promise!?" Rin asked angrily, demanding to know.
Cecilia notices some of the girls were with him as this causes her to frown. "Just what devil do you think you're doing, you haven't forgotten about the promise you made back at the bus!" she yelled at him.
Ichika was about to speak but Rin interrupted as she wrapped her arms behind his back. "Well Ichika and I were just handing out, so you just go away" she snickered before climbing back up the top of Ichika's shoulders.
"Rin, what are you doing! I'm not an observation deck or something!" Ichika shouted at her.
"Mrs. Huang I'm afraid Ichika is going to be with me," Cecilia said as she stabbed the umbrella on the sand and unrolled the towel and laid it on the ground. "Ah now Ichika I'm ready," she said with a soothing voice as she lays down on the towel on her chest. She removed her sarong, untied her bikini top, and placed a bottle.
This causes Rin to get down from Ichika with a suspicious expression to see what Cecilia is up to. "And just what does he is supposed to be getting on?!" she demands.
"As you can see, he is to rub the suntanned oil on my skin, it simply wouldn't do for a gentleman to be nagging to a promising lady now wouldn't it" Cecilia explained.
Ichika looks at Cecilia nervously and closes his eyes as he has no other choice. "Alright if I must," he muttered.
"I'm gonna leave this to you," Suzuki said before walking away.
"Yeah, you got your hands full, I'll see you around," Katsuo said as he was leaving as well.
"Wait Katsuo?" Ichika calls out to him.
"I'll be fine, just do whatever you want with her or should I say one of her" Katsuo said to him as he left. However, this causes two girls Cecilia and Rin to glare at him leaving.
Not far away Hakaru was at the view of the beach as he was shirtless, and wore a white trunk with green lining on it. He was just staring at the view letting out a sigh with his eyes closed while visualizing the man standing behind the fire.
"Uh excuse me?" Then he heard someone near calling out to him Hakaru looks and notices Charlotte who was wearing a bright orange bikini bra with a black strap, and an orange and black large striped skirt. She even tied her. "Is everything alright?" she asked him.
"There's nothing to worry about, Mrs. Dunois," Hakaru replied to her.
"You don't have to be formal, you can just call me Charlotte," she said, preferring to just call her first name.
"That's fine," he said before walking away to the beach with his hands in his pockets. Charlotte watches him walking as she lets out a sigh, but was curious as she decided to follow him.
As she walks near him Charlotte looks at him wondering to see him with a dull expression. "I…. don't wanna be rude but….do you ever smile?" she wondered to him, Hakaru stopped and looked at her, she froze nervously.
"It's not my thing," Hakaru replied as this calmed her down.
"But you should smile sometimes, it's good to feel happy," Charlotte said as she showed a smile expression to him. "Come on, show me a smile," she asked happily, but Hakaru still did not smile.
"I'm fine" Hakaru replied as Charlotte was slowing down she let out a sigh while watching him walking away.
Back with Ichika as he was about to rub Cecilia backside, he looks like his hand is covered in liquid oil sunscreen and feels slimy, some of the girls watch him as well as Rin he move his hand an inch at Cecilia back before he squeals nervously and place his hands on her back.
"Ah!" This causes Cecilia to gasp as she gets up a bit while Ichika flinches, backing his hand back. "My goodness Ichika, warm your hands a bit before applying the oil," she said to him
"I'm sorry, but it's my first time doing this you know" he apologized while wiping his other hand with oil.
"Ah, you mean that I'm going to be your first time. Well then it's to be expected I suppose" Cecilia said happily.
But for Rin, she glared at her. "Hope a hungry spider to fly," she muttered as Suzuki was standing next to her.
Ichika then rubs her back with the oil on his hands, Cecilia opens her mouth letting out a moan and blushing some of the girls watch this as they were blushing as well as they wanted him rubbing oil on their backs.
"Ah, that looks like it feels so good."
"E-Even my heart is starting to pound."
"Cecilia, lend me that suntan oil when you're done using it okay."
"You just…..want me to do your back, right?" Ichika asked.
Cecilia was letting out her breath with blushes on her cheeks after feeling the hands of Ichika running suntan oil. "No, there are many areas I can reach, so while I have you here I would like for you to cover all of them."
"All of them!" Ihcika shouted with sweat on his head.
"Yes, please. My legs…..my thighs…..and my buttocks" this causes Ichika to be completely shocked at what he heard he froze with embarrassment. Then Rin appeared with oil in both hands.
"Hey, there I'll do that for you" Rin offers herself to Cecilia as she snickering sinister expression, she starts to rub on Cecilia's back, then her thighs and feet the others watch this deadpanned. "Oops! Is this the place right?" She then rubs the inside of Cecilia's bikini brief causing her to scream.
"Damn it Rin, that is quite enough!" Cecilia shouted at her as she rolled from her towel not knowing that her chest was exposed, Ichika blushed when he saw that. "Ahhhhhhh!" She shrieked out loud before punching Ichika with her I.S Blue Tears robotic arm preventing him from seeing her top.
Laura was sitting by the ocean glooming, wearing a black two-piece bikini with a frill design, a small ribbon on her bra top and two on both sides of her waist, she even had her hair tied up into twin tails.
"Come on, don't be like that" she heard a familiar voice and saw Katsuo standing in front of her. "You should have fun. You do know fun, right?"
"I…..don't have any fun," Laura said gloomily.
Katsuo blinked before realizing that she never had any fun back in her country, all she did was train for combat and I.S piloting. "Oh, sorry," He thought he never said that before sitting next to her. "Are you sure everything is alright?" he said to her.
"I say I'm fine!" Laura shouted as Katsuo jumped in surprise, she looked away with a frown expression. "Sorry, but I don't feel like talking," she replied.
"Come on, at least get off your back, and tell me if you want you don't have to," Katsuo said in concern to her.
But Laura lets out a sigh as she decides to get off of her back. "The reason why is because I'm being pulled out of piloting an I.S," she said her reason. Since Bujin Gaim is still on the loose and has the I.S data, he could use my I.S any time, so to prevent that my mentor put me to the ground until that man was found."
Katsuo understands since Bujin Gaim is still on the loose, he still has the I.S data from the others but uses Laura's I.S machine and there is no telling when he will strike next. "But there's also something else" which causes Katsuo to blink in surprise as he listens to what she was gonna say. "Remember back at the academy when I attack you" Katsuo crossed as he did think back when Laura charged towards him. "Well, the reason why I won't accept you as their sibling…is that I was jealous."
Katsuo was surprised when he heard that she nearly killed him by the neck. "I was jealous because you were living with my mentor and her brother, they treated you like you were part of them and….I was mad, you being a sibling to them, a little brother!"
Katsuo was surprised after listening to Laura explaining her reasons why she hated him so much then having Ichika approve of a brother to Chifuyu.
Letting out a sigh before looking at the blue clear sky. "Yeah, that may be true…..but sometimes I wanna leave them," Katsuo said.
This shocked Laura when Katsuo said that she could not believe it. "Leaving them! But you're a sibling to them, why would you ever leave them!" Laura exclaimed angrily at him.
Katsuo did not reply as he just looked at the sky and let out a sigh. "Maybe some other time" Laura was speechless of what he said. From the look she sees at his expression, Katsuo does not seem to be happy to talk from that moment.
"Anyways, we should focus on you now, about you being pulled out of piloting an I.S," Katsuo points out that he needs to focus on her now. "Even so, you can still fight without using your I.S, you still have skill, just close combat" he points out to her but still sulking, Katsuo notices an empty volley net as he gives an idea. "Come on, let's play a little game," Katsuo suggested to her.
"I don't feel li-."
"I said come on," Katsuo interrupted as he picked her up and dragged her to the volleyball court while rethinking back with Chifuyu.
(Flashback)
It was the day before the trip to the resort as Chifuyuwas with Katsuo and she spoke to him about something important."Katsuo, I want you to look out for Bodewig," Chifuyu said as this got him confused.
"Me why?" Katsuo asked her.
"I'm only asking you this once, please look after Laura for this" Chifuyu asked him once more.
(Flashback end)
"I hope what I'm doing is getting to her, not for long" Katsuo thought while worrying, this will get in the mood with Laura.
"Ow! That hurt so bad" Ichika complained while rubbing his face from Cecilia's punches.
"It was your fault for looking at them, pervert" Rin crossed at him with her eyes closed.
"Technique it was kinda your fault that started it" Suzuki points to Rin blaming her as she glares at him.
"What's that supposed to mean," she growled at him.
"You made Cecilia expose as if Ichika was there, so that part is on you" Suzuki pointed out to her.
"Well I wasn't doing it on purpose besides, she asked him to touch everything!" she shouted at him with her arms crossed.
"Am I hearing jealousy I hear or that you can't grow up" Suzuki smirked at her as Rin gritted her teeth angrily, both of them glares at each other with deadly eyes?
"I still don't know why you came here in the first place!" Rin shouted demanding to know why he came.
"What's wrong, don't like seeing other old classmates back in high school?" Suzuki reply to her.
Ichika just looks at both of them with concern as he decides to stop this. "Come on this is the beach we're supposed to have fun" he pointed out to them but the two kept glaring at each other Rin just had an idea.
"Y'know what Ichika's right. We're at the beach, so I challenged myself to swim to that buoy, but you had to buy shaved ice!" Rin declared.
"Fine, but if I win, someone's gonna make dinner when we get back" Suzuki declared as Rin growled knowing what he was talking about.
"Fine then, first ones swim to that pole win! Go!" Rin declared before running to the ocean with a head start as she swam in the ocean.
"Hey wait a minute! That was a head start!" Ichika calls out to her but she did not hear him as Rin was too far.
"Doesn't matter, I'll still beat her," Suzuki smirked before running to the ocean water and swimming to catch up to her.
Meanwhile, Katsuo passed the ball to Laura but did not pass back as the ball just bounced on the sand and looked sad.
"Come on, you need to cheer up," he suggested to her, but Laura was still not in the mood as she just looks down, Katsuo humbled while trying to think of a way to make her happy. However, making Laura happy was harder than he thought. "She still looks sad, even if I don't wanna do this, Chifuyu has to tell me to do this," then this pops an idea for Katsuo. "Alright then let's make it a competition."
"A competition," Laura blinked in confusion.
"That's right, will make it a competition and only one of us will win, whoever loses they have to pay for the winners shaved ice, and as for the winner, will be hanging in a room with Chifuyu Orimura," he grinned.
Laura's ear just twitches after hearing Katsuo shiver with sweat dropping out and blushes on her face. "In a room…with Mrs. Orimura! My mentor," she thought to herself while imagining herself with Chifuyu alone in the room cuddling, Laura's face was red with drools coming out of her mouth. Katsuo watches with sweat drops on his head but it did motivate her.
"You call that a winning prize," then they heard a familiar voice nearby and saw Ryoga as he was shirtless only wearing his red with yellow flames design trunks. "Because I called that one child's imagination" he smirked after hearing that prize.
"You," Katsuo glares at him, even though he was invited with the others, Ryoga happens to be one of them.
At the sea, Rin was swimming to the buoy. "Alright, This is my chance to show that know-it-all who's boss!" She swam as fast as she could to win this race, but she then thought of what she did to Cecilia and it was wrong to do that since she has feelings for Ichika. Then she noticed that Suzuki was swimming too fast. This made her angry as she stroked herself faster. "That jerk won't stop showing off, we'll see about that!" Rin thought but then all of a sudden she stops swimming as she feels a cramp on her left leg.
Rin swims back up to the surface and tries to get back to the beach but was sinking the ocean letting out a yell for help, she could not breathe as Rin only sees the light shining while sinking deeper and deeper into the ocean. But then she saw a shadowing figure heading towards her revealing to be Suzuki as he grabbed her hand and swam back up to the surface. Rin could barely see but she looked only to see Suzuki who was swimming back to the surface while pulling her, she could see what he did before closing her eyes.
"Rin! Rin! Are you okay!" Rin heard a voice as she opened her eyes and saw a shadowing figure before her vision was cleared. It was Ichika with a worried face as she realized that it was back on the surface.
Rin sat up letting out a cough after getting in from the ocean. "Yeah, I'm okay," she replied.
"That's great," Ichika said in relief to hear that. "It's a good thing that Suzuki saves you in the nick of time."
Rin blinks for a moment as she turns her head and sees Suzuki standing in front of her, though she did not like him he spoke up. "Oh, it was you," she groaned before letting out a cough.
"I should apologize to you, I should have started that race in the first" Suzuki apologized as he bowed to her, Rin was surprised when she heard that. "I'll get you First-Aid. Then I'll buy shaved ice, it's on me," he said before walking away.
"Wow, that guy is nice," Ichika said, amazed as some Suzuki to do that for Rin nearby blushed.
"Even I have to admit it, he does act like a gentleman such as Orimura," Cecilia said, impressed, admitting herself that Suzuki is a polite man similar to Ichika.
But Rin narrowed her eyes as there was something off of him and she knew that guy would never treat her like Ichika. "What exactly are you doing here? It's not like you ever did something for me" she thought in suspicion.
Katsuo and Ryoga were glaring at each other in silence with their eyes narrowed. Laura was also glaring at Ryoga even though also possessed the same power of control as the I.S machine.
"Still don't know why you came here, I thought you're not much of a fun person," Katsuo said.
"What can I say, I need a break from dancing after all, not to mention that fight with Bravo, he put up a good fight. But I'm unsatisfied that Orimura becomes a Kamen Rider, pathetic" Ryoga scowled.
This made Katsuo frown. "Look I didn't want him to get involved but Ichika chose his path not mine" he snapped at him.
"Oh and who is to blame, but at least he isn't pathetic then I thought unlike you," Ryoga smirked, closing his eyes.
Katsuo gritted his teeth after hearing his insults. "What the hell is that supposed to mean! Let's not forget that I beat Bujin Gaim and where were you at!" he shouted at him.
"By using an I.S power that belongs to Orimura, I say that is cowardly of using someone else's power," Ryoga said as the I.S Lockseed are linked to the I.S machines and combining it like him and Katsuo this made him angry.
"What about you! You use that blond British girl's I.S as well!" Katsuo points out that Ryoga did use Cecilia I.S Blue Tears during the battle royal.
"At least I'm a man who controls an I.S machine until someone tries to imitate Orimura" Laura gritted his teeth and glared at him, kept hearing he controls an I.S Machine not to mention when someone tells her she can not be like Chifuyu.
"If you are that powerful as Orimura, then why didn't you join the I.S Academy like Ichika, the two of you would have made a great team!" Laura shouted demanding to know why he did not join the Academy.
Ryoga did not reply to him, he just turned his back to him. "That has nothing to do with me, and you're the one to talk since you can't be like her" this made Laura angry as she was about to walk up to him. But Katsuo raises his arm at her stop and looks at him wondering why he is stopping this.
"You're going to tell us here and now because I'm not gonna let this slip by, so I suggest that we should have a game of volleyball" Katsuo suggested, causing both of them to be deadpanned.
"Is this a joke?" Ryoga growled.
"Come on, there's more than just battling, and I say we should have a game of volleyball," he said.
"I agreed!" Laura raises her hand in agreement.
As this surprised Katsuo seeing her he asked. "Really? Are you sure about this?"
"Yes," she replied, clutching her fist and glares at Ryoga with a flaming aura surrounding her. "I must defeat my enemies! No ones gonna take that win!" Laura shouted.
Ryoga growled with his teeth gritting as he thought this is ridiculous and a waste of his time. "Then why don't we raise the stakes" both Katsuo and Laura listen to what he was about to say. "Whoever's a triumph, the loser loses their Lockseed to the victor" he wagered.
Katsuo glares at him as if he was not gonna let that happen. "There's no way I'm gonna hand my Lockseed over, even to a person like you," he said seriously.
The two of them glare at each other with aura surging through them.
Then Maya walks in with her gray sweater off. She was wearing a pale yellow two-piece swimsuit. "Oh my what's going on here?" she asked in concern.
"I-It's nothing, Mrs. Yamada," Katsuo states that nothing is going on.
"No need to apologize, and just call me Maya since I'll be part of your Mrs. Orimura, that makes you my little brother," Maya said happily as Katsuo's sweat dropped on his head after hearing that.
"Well, you see we're kinda about to play volleyball until we add in bets of whoever wins," Katsuo explained the reason to her.
"I think that's a good idea" then they heard Chifuyu walking in, she was wearing a black two-piece swimsuit, she let her hair untied.
This causes Katsuo, Laura, and Ryoga to see her like this, they almost turned red.
"Mrs. Orimura! Are you sure about this!?" Maya asked her.
Chifuyu smirked at how serious she was. "Yes, but let's put this into a real game," she said before turning towards the other girls and shouting out for their attention. "ALIGHT WHOEVER WANTS TO JOIN IN A GAME OF VOLLEYBALL! THE WINNER WILL GET TO BE HANDING OUT WITH ORIMURA!" she exclaimed at loud.
This got all of the girls' attention as they immediately rushed into the volleyball net joined in the games letting out a cheer.
"This….maybe a bit much?" Katsuo thought to himself with blank white eyes wondering if she was doing this too far?
Hakaru on the other hand he is just laying down on top of his towel with sunglasses on as he was just napping under the sun, he soon notices some noises nearby him and sees all of the I.S Academy girls cheering so loud he can hear it far away from here.
"They are so noisy," Hakaru said in annoyance before noticing Charlotte approaching. "Oh it's you again, don't you feel like playing?" he asked her.
"No, although it's fun, I just wanna be with you" Charlotte replied as this got Hakaru's attention as he flipped his sunglasses up and stared at her with narrow eyes. She was startled with blushes on her cheeks. "I didn't mean that! I just want to talk hang out with you as friends!" she shrieked.
Hakaru blinked in confusion, seeing her like this before flipping his sunglasses back down and face up to the sky. "That's fine," he said as Charlotte was confused and decided to sit next to him with her arms wrapped around her legs.
Charlotte blushes when she sees that she is alone with Hakaru it was embarrassing to her.
"So tell me, how's everything happening at the academy?" he asked as Charlotte blushed when he asked that question.
"E-Everything is fine!" Charlotte replies loudly as Hakaru looks at her, she sighs at how she responded to him. "I told everyone the truth of who I am and they were all shocked. Although some of the girls talk when I was a boy in the same room with Ichika they think we're living together like a couple" as Hakaru just did not say anything but for Charlotte, she was startled with her arms waving in the air panicking. "B-But Ichika and I are just friends! I told them all that, don't worry!"
"But are we friends?" Hakaru asked her.
Charlotte looks down in disappointment as Hakaru was right, for the past few weeks after the incident during the tournament with Bujin Gaim. Unfortunately, the two of them barely know each other as they have nothing in common.
But she let out a sigh, Charlotte was about to speak to him once more. "Okay, you're right, we aren't friends, but maybe we should get to know each other better then?" She said, suggesting catching Hakaru's attention while letting out a sigh.
"Go on" he sighs and decides to keep it going.
"You see, back in my home country, you know that my papa runs the largest I.S related corporation in all of France, I guess you heard of that, yes?" Charlotte explained her story, Hakaru heard of the Dunois are the largest company as he looked at the CEO's daughter, but wondered why Charlotte came to the I.S Academy disguised as a boy.
"Yeah I guess, but what was it of you for transferring from your country to japan as an I.S Representative in the first place?" he wondered.
Well, here's the truth why I came to the Academy, it was all to get Ichika's I.S data" Charlotte replied as this shocked him before realizing that Ichika was the only male to pilot an I.S in the world. "Well, here's the real truth, you know that the Dunois hadn't made any progress in manufacturing I.S Machine?"
"I heard, the Dunois industry's use to be the rank third in the world, it'll the industry starting to have a heavy burden and failing on the third-generation I.S," Hakaru said since he heard of what is happening to the industry right now in France.
"That's right since France refuses to join the EU pact the company development was forced to develop third-generation I.S on our own" Charlotte looks down with a sad smile.
"That's when Ichika was in" Hakaru guessed Charlotte looked at him and nodded to his question.
Charlotte frowned as he was correct. "Yes, if my father has Orimura's I.S data, he will use it to create better and advanced third-generation I.S units back up," she said.
"Then why are you doing all of this, if it has to do something with your father?" Hakaru asked with his eyes narrowed.
"Well, it was all my papa's direct order, but also I'm not the child of his wife" this got Hakaru surprised but also confused. "You see, when I was young, my papa and I were separated. I lived with my mama for a long time until my mama passed away and my papa took me two years ago. After Dunois picked me up and did various tests, I was compatible with an I.S."
"Is that why you were never mentioned or debuted in public?" Hakaru asked.
"Well… yes, after that I was secretly trained to be an I.S pilot, but so barely got to see my father only twice and we only spoke for more than an hour. Right now the Dunois have already begun developing the third generation I.S module" Charlotte frowns as she looks down with her hands together while Hakaru thinks back and remembers that the other countries are developing new modules for the third generation type. "But as this process has been slow, the development permit will be in danger of being withdrawn."
"So you never spoke to your father for a while huh?" Hakaru scoffed after hearing of her father, he then wonders something else about her. "If that's your truth, then all you did when you came to the Academy was to steal Ichika I.S data while pretending to be a boy named Charle."
She looks up and looks at Hakaru nodding to his response. "Y'know, after that talk it was getting into me, but now I'm finally got that out of my chest" Charlotte smiled with relief that after telling him her story she finally got all of that out.
But then Charlotte notices that Hakaru was looking down with his eyes shaded and covered darkly, she was worried if she did something to upset him. Hakaru soon visualizes and remembers back with the man in front of him stares down at him, he clutches his fist hard angrily. "Mr…..Moro? Is something bothering you?"
"I-I'm fine" Hakaru replied to her.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Charlotte still asked worriedly.
Hakaru turns his head away from her as he does not want to talk about it, causing Charlotte to frown before letting out a sigh. "Don't tell this to anyone" this got Charlotte blinked in confusion about what he was talking about. "If I tell you my secret, don't tell anyone, especially Ichika or Katsuo," he said directly to her.
Charlotte nodded to his response as she will keep it a secret, Hakaru was about to speak up. "When I was… I hate my brother" he said darkly.
This causes Charlotte to gasp after hearing what Hakaru said, but she wonders why he hates his brother. "You, hate your brother?" she asked hesitantly.
Hakaru lets out a sigh before he stares at her as this causes Charlotte who looks concerned about what happened between him and his brother, she wants to know. "I'll tell you this, long ago my parents passed away as my brother was the only one left when I was young. We were both raised in a dojo where we were raised as my brother was a skillful and powerful swordsman, he even taught me everything techniques he knows, I got better, my brother was the greatest" Charlotte listened to Hakaru tell as she smiled hearing his story was happy with his brother. But that will not last long. "But then one day."
(Flashback)
The dojo was engulfed by fire as the building was burning down to the ground. Some of the survivors made it out of there alive including young Hakaru.
"A fire burned down my house and most of them were alive including me," Hakaru explained.
Some of the survivors looked at the house and we're all shocked to see it was burning down, all of them lost the only home they had left. Hakaru confers with his injured people as he tries to get her up before seeing someone familiar approaching all of them.
"When my brother came, all of them were happy to see him. But that day was the day he betrayed everything and everyone."
As one of the survivors approaches him he suddenly stops before collapsing down to the ground as blood comes out, all of them were shocked by what Hakaru's brother did and soon he did it to all of the last remaining survivors and killed them all.
Young Hakaru was shocked in horror after witnessing what his brother did as he saw him killing all of the survivors who are called friends and family. As Hakaru's older brother turns his head to young Hakaru and stares at him with a serious expression and bloodstains.
"Why…Why…..Why would you do this!" Young Hakaru exclaims angrily at his older brother as he says nothing back before turning around and walks away. "Come back….Come back…Come back and tell me! Haruo!"
(Flashback ended)
Hearing everything that Hakaru explained in his entire story Charlotte was shocked in horror at what happened in his past. She had no idea he had a dark past. She then notices that Hakaru clutches his fist hardly as well as gritting his teeth angrily remembering that day when his brother did betray and kill everyone he once knew.
"So, what happened to you after that?" Charlotte said worriedly of Hakaru.
"After the dojo was burned down by my deadbeat brother, I was placed in a foster family and raised for years. But once I leave, I'm gonna find him, and beat the hell out of that bastard!" Hakaru growled darkly.
Charlotte was frightened to see this side of him she never knew, the French I.S pilot turns her head away from him. Hakaru notices as she looks scared from his story he lets all of his anger out and calms himself down. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you," Hakaru apologized to her.
"I-Its fine, I won't tell anyone!" Charlotte shouted, waving her hands panicking. But she still looks concerned after hearing Hakaru's story, she wondered why his brother would betray him and this got her concerned, especially Hakaru.
Back at the volleyball game as everyone is cheering out loud, the only two teams still standing are Katsuo and Laura versus Ryoga and Chifuyu, they are the last team standing.
Unfortunately for Rin and Cecilia, they had an early loss as the two were sulking on the sand from their defeat.
"This is utterly impossible" Cecilia moaned, sulking at her defeat.
With her is a girl with black hair and blue eyes wearing a two-piece turquoise swimsuit trying to calm her. "It's okay, we tried our best!" She said, reasoning with her of their loss.
"Well, that goes to show that there are more girls who want to win Ichika for shaved ice, it sucks for you guys to lose," Katsuo states with his arms crossed.
The girls turn towards Katsuo and glare at him with tears streaming from their eyes.
"Oh shut up Kazuraba! You're lucky that you and Bodewig made it to the final round! Better luck in the final game because you will lose to Mrs. Orimura anyways!" Cecilia complained loudly.
Katsuo lets out a sigh and just ignores her as the girl notices him and decides to talk to him. "Hey, are you the one that saved the academy from those invaders?" She asked.
"Oh yeah," Katsuo replied as he looked worried that her reaction would be like the other girls since he saved her academy.
"Wow, it's nice to meet you, my name is Shizune Takatsuki, I wanna say thank you for saving me" she introduced herself to him as Shizune thanking Katsuo for what he did back at the I.S Academy.
"Oh, it's no big deal, I'm just glad that you and the others are alright," Katsuo said happily, relieved that she wasn't acting like the rest of the girls.
"Still though it was intense for you to face those things," Shizune said in concern if he can handle it.
"Don't worry, I'm getting the handle of this" Katsuo assures her when he is Kamen Rider Gaim Shizune smiles as she was glad to hear that from him.
He then walks away and meets up with Ichika who looks confused about all of this. "I still don't get it?" Ichika blinked deadpanned.
"And that is what all of the girls compete for?" Katsuo asked as Ichika gave him an answer.
"Yeah, all of the girls…have no chance of beating Chifuyu as she is a badass volleyball player" Ichika replied happily as Katsuo sighs as his stepbrother of what this competition was all about.
"That's your reason?" Katsuo asked with a sigh.
"But I'm confused why she teamed up with a jerk like him." Ichika then turns his head to see Chifuyu as she was with Ryoga for some reason.
"Yeah, I was confused about that as well," Katsuo admitted to the same thought as Ichika.
"Alright everyone, then the final match is up as Kazuraba and Orimura versus Mrs. Orimura and Kumon" Maya calls out as both Katsuo and Laura as well as Chifuyu and Ryoga walk the court steps in.
"Alright, you two, better not the whole back cause I beat you" Chifuyu smirking as she was at the front while Ryoga was at the back.
"Yeah, like that's gonna happen because you'll be losing!" Katsuo taunted her and all of the girls were shocked when he said that.
"Oh, is that a challenge I hear?" Chifuyu said early with his shaded covers her eyes, her eyes were glowing flames as her body was surrounded by a red aura.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to say those words, I'll just make it short…..YOU'RE GOING DOWN!" Katsuo laughs maniacally with orange flames surrounding his body, as he dares Chifuyu that he will be victorious.
All of the girls stare deadpanned at both Katsuo and Chifuyu as they glare at each other with a massive aura surrounding their bodies. Though some of them think this Katsuo person is crazy to challenge Chifuyu like that, most of the girls think of him as really cool, not to mention hot.
Ichika lets out a sigh when he sees his older sister and younger step-brother acting daring and competitive when it comes to volleyball. "Oh man, here they go again!?" He thought about complaining about the inside facepalming on his forehead. "However the two of them always had a volleyball competition at the beach, except Katsuo always tried to beat up and ended up losing to Chifuyu."
Then he thought of the two of them as Kamen Riders during the match against Laura and Houki Bujin Gaim invaded, he and Chifuyu fought him along with Hakaru and Mizuki. He felt like he was useless until he thinks back to the day during a battle royal against Bravo and his team, he became a Kamen Rider just like them. "Now that I'm a Kamen Rider, I need to work twice as hard to not just be a Rider but also an I.S Pilot so that I can protect everyone just like Katsuo and Chifuyu," he then clutches his fist hard in determination. "It will be a long way, but I need to get stronger than ever!" He narrowed his eyes and raised his fist in a serious expression.
"Hey Orimura, is something wrong?"
"You look kinda mad?"
Ichika snapped out of it and saw two girls approaching him with a concerned expression. "Oh it's nothing Really, I was just…..see if this will be Katsuo chance to beat Mrs. Orimura, he's been doing that for a long time."
"Really! If you were with him, both of you could beat her in this game!"
"Oh I'm not so sure about that, as well as Katsuo thinking he can beat her" Ichika chuckled with his hand scratching to the back as the girls laughed in agreement.
Not far away Houki was watching everyone having a great time watching the volleyball competition. She was wearing a two-piece white swimsuit with a black line design, a ribbon on the bra, and four straps. She looks around to see all of the girls wearing swimsuits. Houki narrows her eyes as she is jealous, especially when Ichika is with them.
"That Ichika, getting all of the attention and distracted by the girls, but let's hope this swimsuit I bought, will get his attention" Houki muttered to herself hoping to get Ichika's attention. She walks down and into the crowd, she budged through to get closer to Ichika.
But then she froze when she saw Chifuyu wearing a black swimsuit that matches her skin, making it more gorgeous. Houki felt like Chifuyu outclassed her, gritted her teeth and walked away from Ichika and ran through the crowd. Then Ichika blinked as he looked around the crowd and felt like someone was approaching him.
"Alright, everyone ready!" Maya calls as everyone cheers happily. "Then the final match begins!"
Ryoga was holding the volleyball in his hand. "You're about to lose this match. As I will be victorious!" he hollered, tossing the ball up in the air as Ryoga jumps up and slams it towards Laura.
"Heads up, the ball's coming right at you!" Katsuo calls out to her.
But Laura paid no attention to the ball coming this way as she was fantasizing about herself with Chifuyu in a room, the two looked at each other before Chifuyu gave her a hug causing Laura to blush red on her face. "I will accept you, sister," the fantasized Chifuyu said as this made Laura happy.
"Ori…..mura…." Laura grumbled while drooling with her mouth open. As the crowd looks at their heads with sweat drops on their heads.
"What's Bodewig doing?"
"It looks like she was imagining someone?"
"Probably Orimura."
Katsuo looks at her just standing there confused. "Laura! The bell!" He shouted at her, alerting her that the ball was heading towards her.
But it fails as the ball slams her in the forehead causing Laura to fall on the sand. She groaned from that ball leaving a red mark brush on her forehead, Katsuo looked down at her to see if she was alright.
"Laura, are you alright?" He asked her.
"I…I… I" she tried to speak but was unable.
"I think I'll take her to the doctor," she said as she dragged Laura out to the court and headed into the doctor.
"So now what, you don't have anyone else, you're gonna have to find a new team member" Ryoga pointed out to him.
Katsuo's eyes widen as he needs to find a new member right now, until Ichika sends in the court, shocking everyone. "Okay, I'll join in," he sighs as volunteered to be on the Katsuo team. "Besides, the two of us should handle Chifuyu no problem"
"I guess you're right" Katsuo chuckled as now Ichika joined in and all of the crowd cheered out loud of excitement. Ichika stands in the front while Katsuo is at the back. "Okay, we're ready!" He calls out to Maya as she nodded to his response.
"Oh, so you decided to join in, Orimura," Ryoga smirked when he was holding the volleyball while staring at Ichika who was in the game.
Ichika gritted his teeth as if Ryoga taunted. "Well yeah, what's it to you!" he shouted.
"Oh, nothing, but only to see you lose!" Ryoga sneered before tossing the volleyball up in the air before jumping up and slamming it.
It passes through Ichika but Katsuo slides down and manages to save the ball from touching the ground, it was Ichika's turn as he jumps up and slams the ball with his service as it flies straight towards the ground. But Chifuyu appeared out of nowhere, shocking both boys she slammed the ball hard and straight towards the ground.
"Points for Mrs. Orimura and Kumon!" Maya announced.
"Man, she's still a badass" Katsuo gulped when he saw Chifuyu in action at volleyball, he had not seen this for a long time.
"Yeah, but we're not done just yet, come Katsuo we'll beat her!" Ichika smiled at him with encouragement.
Katsuo looks at him, seeing Ichika in surprise and he grinned in understanding. "Alright, let's win this!" He exclaimed happily.
As time passed at the beach both Katsuo and Ichika were doing incredible in the volleyball competition as the girls cheered for their favourite team. But so did Chifuyu and Ryoga who is also in the same league as them and manage to take the lead as this makes it more intense than ever.
Soon both sides were now neck and neck in this match at the finals everyone screams out loud excitedly.
"Alright, the final match," Ichika said as Katsuo nodded to his response.
"And we're tied between Chifuyu and Ryoga," he noticed looking at the board and see both sides are a tie, the two boys nodded with a serious expression
As two sides were placed in positions, preparing for the final match Maya announced to everyone. "This round will determine who will win! Will it be Orimura and Kazuraba, or Mrs. Orimura and Kumon! Begin!" she calls out.
Kumon makes the first shot as he hits the volleyball with his underhand as the ball goes over the net heading straight towards Ichika, he raises his hand and manages to block it, the ball goes over as Chifuyu jumps up and blocks it. The ball goes over Ichika as he gasps, Katsuo digs with his aura together as he manages to save the ball it bounces up from his forearms.
"Now Ichika!" Katsuo calls out as Ichika nodded to his response.
"Got it!" he jumps up in the air, extends his right arm Ichika then slams the ball with a spike.
But Ryoga bends his knees and manages to save the ball with his wrist. "Is that all you got, Orimura!" he taunted him.
"Yes, I still got it!" Ichika hollered before slamming the ball with a serve as it was falling straight towards the ground.
But Chifuyu manages to save it as she blocks it as the ball flies over to Ichika he tries to reach it for a block but he misses, luckily Katsuo raises his arms in a set stand and manages to get the ball with his hands.
The ball flies over the net when Chifuyu jumps up and blocks it with her hands the ball bounces back to the Katsuo and Ichika side, then surprisingly Ichika appeared as he jumped up as he extended his arm and was about to make a serve. "This is it! Our last chance!" Ichika thought to himself as he was to finish it off Chifuyu appeared with her hands wide to block with a smirk surprising him, he was not gonna back away and he was about to slam the ball.
But all of a sudden something falls from the sky and crashes on the ground in smoke causing everyone to feel that impact and fall on the sand.
"Grh! What was that!?" Katsuo groaned wondering who interpreted the final round.
As the rest of the students get up after that impact soon the smoke clears out as it reveals to be…..giant watermelon?
"What the! You brought a giant armoured watermelon here!" Ichika shouted in surprise as it looked big.
"I didn't bring that here" Katsuo stated to him as Ichika blinked when he stared at him.
He then looks at Ryoga in suspicion as he notices. "Don't look at me it's not mine doing" he scowled but looking that he did not bring the Suika Arms but who?
"YOROI MODE!"
Then the Suika Arms started moving as it transformed into Yoroi Mode as it raised the double-bladed sword and swung down at the ground where Katsuo, Ryoga, Ichika, and Chifuyu all vanished in the smoke appearing covering the three of them out of sight.
All of the girls were completely shocked in horror after seeing those three boys take that attack, not far away Houki was standing there frozen in shock. "Ich….ka….ICHIKA!" She cried out loud.
Soon both Hakaru and Charlotte run to the scene and see what is happening.
"What's going on!" Hakaru wondered while Charlotte covered her mouth with her hands.
This also got Mizuki and Rin who are seeing this as well.
But just as they thought they were done for.
"SEIYA!"
"COME ON!"
"ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!"
"BANANA ARMS! KNIGHTS OF SPE~AR!"
"BLUEBERRY ARMS! ANGEL FROM HEAV-EN!"
Soon jumping out of the smokes the three boys made it back in one piece as they transformed into Kamen Riders. But for Chifuyu she was held back by Excalus as they all landed down.
All of the girls screen excitedly when they see them transform. There was also a new Kamen Rider they had never seen like him before but all of them wondered where Ichika went when they had no idea that Excalus was Ichika.
"Chifuyu are you alright?" Excalus asked in concern of his older sister.
"I'm fine you should be worried about that" Chifuyu replied before getting off of him and standing up pointing him out about the Suika Arms Yoroi mode which appeared out of nowhere as it started attacking.
"Yeah, that?" Excalus nodded as he looked at the Suika Arms Yoroi Mode, but who is controlling it? "So who exactly is in there?" he wondered.
"It's obvious that the former military who sent it here" Baron grunted as this might be Wars is behind this.
"That could be," Gaim agreed with him as he did remember beating him and his team in the battle royal, it might be payback from Wars swore he will get his revenge, not just him but the Orimuras. He took out his Suika Lockseed and activated it.
"SUIKA!"
"I'll deal with that one" Gaim declared as he will defeat the Suika Arms Yoroi mode, he took out his Orange Lockseed and replaced it with the Suika Lockseed before closing it then pressing down the lever knife.
"LOCK ON! SEIYA! SUIKA ARM! ODAMA BIG BANG"
A crack opens up and the Suika Arms emerges, Gaim's armour disappears as the giant watermelon lands down he jumps in. Then the Suika Arms transform into a samurai robot mech.
"YOROI MODE!"
"You're mine!" Gaim shouted as he swung the double-bladed sword at it, but the Suika Arms deflected his attack, they both kept deflecting with their weapons before both of them locked blades at each other and held them down.
As everyone watches this fight in amazement it looks like it became more dangerous if the fight was near.
"Everyone, please getaway! It's too dangerous!" Maya alerts everyone, they all listen to her and evacuate the beach.
"Wait, have any of you seen Orimura!" One of the girls called worried as all of them looked around as there was no sign of Ichika anywhere when none of them don't know is that Excalus was Ichika. Excalus sweat drops as he should tell them, but that is not the time for that.
Back at the fight Gaim was pushed backsliding on the sand the Suika Arms raises a double-bladed sword and charges towards him, Gaim raises his double-bladed sword and twirls around deflecting every of its attack.
"Alright, tell me who you are! Are you working with that Bravo jerk or Bujin Gaim!" Gaim shouted angrily demanding to know who sent whoever is controlling inside of it.
But there was no response to whoever is controlling the Suika Arms Yoroi Mode, it simply just attacked as it swung its double-blade sword at him. Gaim deflected it as he counters back with a push, then he swings down his double-bladed sword causing lots of damage. The Suika Arms Yoroi Mode was not giving up as he charged towards Gaim he swung his fist double-bladed sword he accidentally cut off the head as it fell on the sand.
Everyone was completely shocked in horror at what Gaim did, he was also shocked as he realized that he went too far.
"Kazuraba!" Charlotte gasps.
"What did you do, kill that guy!" Rin shouted at him.
"I-I didn't mean to kill him! I swear!" Gaim shouted, panicking that he did not mean it on purpose to them.
Excalus just stares at the Suika Arms Yoroi mode it was down on the ground. But then all of sudden watermelon samurai mech just started moving slowly everyone noticed in surprise, however, Excalus notices its head and takes a look at the headless mech this front he wonder something
"It….still moving…?!" Gaim gasps with relief that the person inside is still okay.
Then Excalus spokes up to the orange samurai as this got him wondering about that watermelon samurai mech. "Hey, do you think there's someone in there?" he asked as this got Gaim surprised by what he said.
"What?" Gaim blinked in confusion as he looked down at Excalus. "What do you mean?"
"Think about it, remember the time when that I.S attack was unmanned" Excalus reminded him when the I.S Golem had no pilot when it interfered with the match with Rin one time. "Do you think someone is in there?"
"I...don't know" Gaim replied as he doesn't know if someone is there.
"Then if there's no one's inside, it means will just destroy it easily" Excalus smirked just like what happened with the I.S Golem, Gaim nodded in understanding.
"Alright, let's go!" Gaim shouted before charging towards the giant robot samurai.
"Hakaru, do you believe someone is in there?" Charlotte asked him if there was someone there.
Hakaru closes his eyes as he was thinking of his thought of her question, however, he barely knows off the Lockseed and their capabilities. "To be honest, I don't know" this got Charlotte by surprise when he answered that. "When using a Lockseed it will summon an Inves from the Helheim it will obey who controls it."
"What about that green mech?" Charlotte wondered about that.
"There's no way it can appear not without the belt, meaning whoever is inside is controlling the Suika Arms" Hakaru explained. "Or so I thought?"
Then all of a sudden five more Suika Arms appeared out of nowhere surprising everyone. They all land down on the same path before they all change into Yoroi mode.
"Okay, where did those other four come from!" Gaim exclaimed he sees more of them appear.
All of the Suika Arms were marching up to the crowd, something blasted some of the other Suika Arms with a laser blast, the others look revealing to be Cecilia with her drones.
"Okay, now you just cross the line with me, Cecilia Alcott, England Representative of the I.S Academy ruining a perfect day!" Cecilia exclaimed angrily.
The other one was about to attack her when something hits her Rin was the one who did as she caught her double lance. "For once I'm with her! No one is ruining this day!"
"Wait, it's not going in there! It's way too dangerous!" Excalus shouted at them but both representatives turned to the blue angel with glaring red eyes at him causing him to flinch.
"What was that, are you saying we are not fit for this! We're not gonna be just standbys" Cecilia scowled.
"You guys took all of the action, it's our time to show just how powerful we are without a belt! We are I.S Pilot!" Rin shouted, summoning her double lance with her robotic arms, the two of them charged in and fought the giant robots.
Gaim and Excalus both sweat drop when they see those girls' charges, They don't know if they can handle those giant robots.
"Should we…..help them?" Excalus asked him as Gaim scratched his back head while watching those two fighting all the giant robot samurais, Rin swung her double lance while Cecilia shot her drones.
"Tch, like I'm gonna let them have all the fun" Baron clicks his tongs as if he was gonna let them have all the fun, he grips his Banaspear and charges in.
Then Suzuki steps up to them pulling out his belt placed on his waist and get his Budou Lockseed.
"Don't worry about them, I'll make sure all of them are safe! take care of those!" Suzuki assures them before activating it.
"BUDOU!"
As a crack opened up and the metallic grape appeared he posed before inserting it in his belt, closing it before pressing down the lever knife.
"LOCK ON! HYA! BUDOU ARMS! RYU HO! HA HA HA!"
The metallic grape falls onto his head and he transforms into Ryugen as he looks at them both with a nod, Gaim and Excalus understand and entrusted him to protect everyone.
"Okay let's go!" Excalus shouted before charging.
"Right" Gaim understands. "Cause this is our stage!" he shouted before charging into the battle.
Cecilia was firing her drones at the giant robot samurai's head but nothing happened as one of them was about swinging their double-bladed sword. She was stunned with her eyes closed, Baron appeared as he pierced his Banaspear to its chest.
"Just what do you think you're doing? I was handling it by myself, how dare you!" Cecilia shrieked at him as she got this.
"And let you have all the fun. Like I'm gonna let that happen" Baron sneered before he ran off causing Cecilia to pout.
"Look I know you guys can handle yours, but at least take care of some of them!" Gaim points out while swinging his double-bladed sword at one of the giant robot samurai.
Rin jumps up in the air and swings her double lance downwards at one of the Suika Arms Yoroi Mode to its chest. "Fine! But that doesn't mean we're the backup here! We are I.S Pilots! And will show those things just how powerful we are and I.S Machines are" she growled swinging her double lance to the right slashing another one on the giant robot samurai.
"Okay, let's take them down, together!" Gaim declared as the I.S Pilots and Kamen Riders all charged towards the giant robot samurai together.
But one of the giant robot samurai manages to get past them as it charges straight towards the rest of the students all panicking, but then a white blur appears in front of them revealing to be Hakaru who transforms into Zangetsu as he raises his shield and deflects its blade.
"Is everyone okay!" Zangetsu o shouted as all of the girls squealed with blushes the white samurai here.
As he is held on the ground against the Suika Arms Yoroi mode, someone shoots it at the head. It was Ryugen holding Ryuhou as he pulled the potion and fires once more Zangetsu pushes the giant robot back.
"Might as well pull out the heavy artillery" Zangetsu muttered as he pulled his Papaya Lockseed out and activated it.
"PAPAYA!"
He replaced his Melon Lockseed and inserted his Papaya Lockseed closed before pressing the lever knife down.
"LOCK ON! SEIYA! PAPAYA ARMS! HEBI KYODO! FUMETSU NO CHIKARA!"
His armour disappeared as a crack opened up the metallic papaya cells down to his head as he changed into Papaya arms.
He grips his Papaya Destroyer and bashes the giant robot to the face causing it to back up.
But the giant robot samurai wasn't done with him just yet as it charged towards Zangetsu and stabbed the Papaya Destroyer on the sand before pressing down three times.
"SEIYA! PAPAYA SPARKING!"
Zangetsu charges enough energy from his Papaya Destroyer a holographic papaya enlarges lifting him as he dodges the Suika Arms Yoroi Mode double-bladed sword, he grips both of his hands on the handle and is spinning up and down. He landed a powerful impact on top of the giant robot with holographic papaya appearing on the top that causes the giant robot to explode with holographic watermelon slices before it vanishes.
All of the girls cheered for Zangetsu after seeing what he did. They thanked him, Charlotte was amazed seeing him saving the students but has some concerns in his story.
"Come on, can't those things! When did they get that much power anyways!" Gaim complained as he was slashed by one of them Rin falls before swinging her double lance and pierce the giant robot before landing back on the ground.
"Well then do something about it, isn't there another trick on your sleeves!" Rin shouted at him.
Gaim then sees another one coming as he raises his left arm and lands an impact on its "I know! I know! That's why I'm gonna end this now" Then all of a sudden the Suika Lockseed started to blow red again, his giant robot changing as it was now a hovercraft with the arms as turrets.
He flies off and shoots the giant robot samurai down but It did not destroy them but it did get their attack as they twirl their double-bladed sword as they deflected their attack which gives the others their chance.
"Now is our chance! Take them down" Rin shouted out as she ran towards one of the giant robot samurais and swung her double lance at one of their legs causing it to fall on the ground. She jumps up catching her double lance and throws it one more time towards the giant robot samurai causing it to explode with watermelon bits.
Baron charges towards the Suika Arms Yoroi Mode in his Mango Arms he swings his Mango Punisher and bashes it in the face, he then turns around and raises it before slamming it in the chest. He jumps out as the giant robot samurai explodes with watermelon bits.
Cecilia's drones are firing at the giant robot before she shoots its head off, before it notices her the Suika Arms Yoroi Mode swings its double-blade sword at her, but she manages to dodge it. She jumps up above it, summoning her rifle and her robotic arms, Cecilia aims her rifle at the hole and pulls the trigger as she fires a laser hitting a bullseye causing the giant robot samurai to explode with watermelon bits.
"I'm taking you down" Excalus exclaimed and charges the giant robot samurai with his long sword deflecting its attack he pushes it away pressing down the lever knife one time.
"COME ON! BLUEBERRY SQUASH!"
Blue energy was gathered from his long sword, Excalus jumps up in the air and with one swing he slashes the giant robot samurai into two exploding into watermelon bits.
"OBAMA MODE!"
Gaim flies down in giant watermelon mode as he spins rapidly at the headless giant robot samurai it notices and raises its double-bladed sword as it blocks him.
"YOROI MODE!"
He then changes into robot mode as Gaim slashes the headless giant robot with his double-bladed sword.
"Okay, you ruined my chance of beating Chifuyu! You're gonna do it now!" Gaim shouted as he will take down the last one as he rushes towards with his double-bladed sword, he presses down the lever knife.
"SEIYA! SUIKA SQUASH!"
As he charges up with green energy twirling his double-bladed sword he charges towards the giant robot samurai and slashes upwards then to the right it explodes into watermelon bits.
All of the girls celebrated in relief that the Riders and the I.S Pilots save them from these giant robot samurai. But as for the Riders and the I.S Pilots, they were all concerned as they looked at the spot where the giant robots were destroyed.
"Well I'm glad everyone's all safe, but who is in there?" Rin wondered as they all gathered.
"If there's no one in there how did they control that thing without a belt?" Excalus asked as none of them have any who sent all of those Suika Arms with someone controlling it from the inside.
Not far away from the beach, a mysterious man was standing at the edge of the cliff, observing everything that they saw during the battle that they needed.
A man was tall with a short beard on his face, and short dark hair, and wearing a gray button shirt, black pants, black shoes, a tie around his neck, and a black vest. "Well, those kids did everything that we needed" he smirked while playing with a Lockseed that has an S-like on it.
Beside him was another man, but this one resembles Hakaru but older as he has the small eyes to him, but his hair is pure white. He seared a black trench coat, black pants, shoes, and a white button shirt.
"Speaking of kids, isn't that your brother down there?" he asked if his brother was with them.
"Enough, we're done" the older Hakaru scoffed before turning around and walking away. "Let's return o headquarters Smith."
"Right back at you, Haruo" the man known as Smith smirked before following him.
Back at the beach as Katsuo was staring at the sunset alone he let out a sigh after everything that happened today. He closes his eyes in silence, visualizing the day when the flame surrounding him and a man approaching with a sword and shield, he raises his blade and swings it down towards him.
"Katsuo, are you okay?" This causes him to start as he turns and sees it was just Ichika.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Katsuo replied, but then he froze with his eyes widened as he saw Ichika, Chifuyu and the others as she was holding a cake with candles on it. "W-What's this?"
"Oh come on Katsuo, don't tell me you forgot, it's your birthday!" Maya smiled brightly. Katsuo was speechless, shocked by what he heard from her.
"That's right, how do you think we brought you here in the first place?" Ichika said as this shocked him.
"That's why you brought me!?" Katsuo shouted in surprise.
"Since we're heading to the resort, I ask her if we can bring you and the others here for your birthday" Ichika explained to him, Katsuo soon realized why Hakaru and Suzuki decided to come, he then eyeing on Ryoga as he was here for him.
"Don't think I was invited because of her, but I did admit of you taking down Bujin Gaim, for once" Ryoga grunted as he has no complaints about coming here.
"Well we don't have any presents for you," Charlotte said as the girls should have got him gifts.
"But the other reason why we're here is that we thought you're Bujin Gaim," Rin reminds him when they accuse him of stealing their I.S data.
"That's I hope you have the hearts to forgive us of our action in you," Cecilia said to him hoping he can forget everything that happened with Bujin Gaim.
"Didn't I tell you guys I already forgive you back at the festivals, it's okay you don't need to worry" Katsuo said to them and reminded them they were relieved.
Laura was the only one who was looking down at the ground, frowning as Katsuo noticed. "Look at everything that you did to me, I forgive you" he smiled placing his hand on her head causing Laura to be surprised before turning around away from him causing him confusion.
"Go ahead, Katsuo blows the candles," Chifuyu reminded him as he walked up to her.
"You know what, it's been ages since we all spend a birthday together" Katsuo realized as Chifuyu glares at him.
"Just blow the candles" she growled, causing Katsuo to sweatdrop on his head as he decided to blow his candles. Everyone clapped all together and congratulated him on his birthday.
"Congratulations Katsuo, so did you tell me what you wished for?" Maya asked him.
"It's a secret," Katsuo smirked.
Everyone complained to him as they tried to ask him what he wished for, Katsuo said in denial and wouldn't reveal it to anyone.
However, Houki was the only one who did not join them as she was somewhere near the ocean and watching the view of the sunset. She thinks back of the battle and matches everyone, Houki clutches her fist hard and grits her teeth. "Useless! I feel useless!" She shouted, feeling the shame and guilt of doing nothing for her friends and the one she loves.
But that was about to change when she remembered calling her sister days ago before coming to the resort.
"It's over spectacularly high and capable, it'll stand toe-to-toe to the Byakushiki! This I.S Unit is called AKATSUBAKI!"
"I'm not gonna stand by and watch when everyone strives to protect. And this time," Houki pulls out something revealing to be another Sengoku Belt like the others and in the left hand is a Lockseed with the faceplate of a plum and the code number 'L.S 17'. "I'm not just gonna let Ichika protect me. I'm going to protect him!"
