Power Rangers Super Samurai vs. Ronin Warriors
Act 19: The New Enemy, Libra!
"Enter, just how many Sentai teams and Kamen Riders are in this city right now?" Libra asked.
"Let's see; there are the Go-Ongers, the Shinkengers, and the Go-Busters. The Riders causing us trouble are Fourze, Meteor, Wizard, Beast, Gaim, Ryugen, and Knuckle."
"And how did you allow all of them to cause you trouble?"
"Well, they know each other, Monsieur Libra. But your enemies are on vacation by sheer coincidence."
"And what about the four you brought with you?"
"One of them is only interested in taking out Monsieur Orange. But the other three are pretty useful."
"Monsieur Orange? Oh right, Gaim. Perhaps I should target him next."
"I would suggest capturing his friends. But please include Monsieur Banane in your plans." Enter suggested.
"Scorpio!" Libra called.
"Yes?" She asked.
Libra handed her some pictures.
"These are what Gaim's non-Rider friends look like. I want you to find them and lure them somewhere remote. Then contact Gaim and Ryugen and tell them where to go. Once they transform, Baron and Marika will intercept them, and with a bit of luck, we will defeat them and capture them for his Malevolence!"
Scorpio depressed the button on her Switch, turning her into her human form.
"I think I have an idea."
She headed over to the Panorama City Hotel and Suites, where she spotted Mai and the others out to do some shopping. She explained to them that she was a scout for a professional dance company, and led them to an abandoned building, which Libra had used his illusions on to make it look legitimate. Unfortunately, it was far from it, as the moment Mai and the others were inside; she locked the door, summoned Dustards to restrain them, and asked Mai to call Kouta.
Back at the suite, Kouta, Micchi and Zack were sitting around talking when Kouta's cell rang.
"Mai?" He asked.
"Kouta! Help! We've been…" Mai tried to say before Scorpio took the phone away.
"That's to let you know we're serious. I'll have your girlfriend text you the location where we're holding her and your friends after I hang up. You, Ryugen, and Knuckle are to come here, alone. Call in any of your friends, or anything like that, and they won't be around much longer." Scorpio explained.
After hanging up, Kouta banged the table in frustration.
"This is probably a trap, Kouta-san," Micchi said.
"I know Micchi. But we've got to try."
"I've got your back on this, Kouta."
"Thanks, Zack," Kouta replied.
Back in Ginjiro, Renn, Ryuji, Jin, Hiroto, and J had their hands full trying to put the Buddyroids back together again. The Spannerroid's power had done quite a number on them.
"Jin-san, how long do you think it'll take?" Hiromu had asked earlier.
"Dunno. Luckily, Kuro-rin sent over their blueprints, but it's still going to take a while to put the three of them back together. We'll probably start with Usada where he's the smallest, but that doesn't guarantee he'll be the easiest. But unfortunately, it puts us out of action for a while."
Over at Mr. Brown's…
"Hime-sama, I really like your new look," Kotoha commented.
After Kaoru had gotten her hair cut to shoulder length, she then went and got her ears pierced as well.
"Thank you Kotoha," Kaoru replied.
"So Kaoru, why the sudden change?" Mako asked.
"I dunno; I just wanted a change, that's all."
"Well, change is good, sometimes," Haruto said.
"Haruto's right; after being stuck with Tanba so long, you were overdue for a change." Mako added.
"So what did Ryu-san and Tono-sama think of your new look?" Kotoha asked.
"Well there's not much Takeru could say due to me being his adopted mother, but I think he liked it. Ryunosuke-san is worried that Tanba will have a heart attack when he sees me next." Kaoru replied.
"I'm sure it won't be that bad, Kaoru," Mako said.
"Mother, Mako, Kotoha. There are Inves attacking the city. Haruto, will you and Kousuke join us?" Takeru asked.
"Kouta's the Inves specialist, but Nitoh and I will do our best," Haruto said.
Motorcycles were summoned with Mojikara once again, with Kousuke forced to ride with Mako, Kaoru for some reason insisted on riding with Haruto.
"I just don't want to waste Mojikara; that's all." She lied.
"If you say so, Princess," Mako said, knowing full well why she really wanted to ride with the Ringed Magician.
Haruto called Kengo, who was able to track it using the Foodroids and point them in the right direction.
"Soma, do you need Kisaragi and Sakuta to come help you?" Kengo asked.
"I think the Shinkengers and I will be all right, but let them know just in case," Haruto replied.
Arriving on the scene, Inves were wreaking havoc, summoned from Lockseeds by Sid. Accompanying him was Leo.
"Nitoh, you go after Sid. I'll take the lion." Haruto said, bringing out his Land Dragon Ring.
Shabadoobi Touch Henshin! Shabadoobi Touch Henshin!
Driver On! Set!
"Ippitsu Shoujou!" The Shinkengers called.
"Shinken Red, Shiba Takeru."
"Princess Shinken Red, Shiba Kaoru."
"The same! Blue! Ikenami Ryunosuke!"
"The same! Pink! Shiraishi Mako!"
"The same! Green! Tani Chiaki!"
"The same! Yellow! Hanaori Kotoha!"
"Henshin," Haruto said, flipping the visor on his ring down.
"Hen…shin!" Kousuke followed.
Land, Dragon! Dan Den Don Zu Dogon, Dan Den Dogon!
Open! L-I-O-N! Lion! (Lion Roar)
"The Samurai Sentai authorized by Providence!" Takeru called.
"Shinkenger!" The others called as they struck their poses.
"Going forth!"
"Now…it's Showtime," Haruto said.
"And, it's lunchtime!" Kousuke said, drawing his Dice Saber.
"Aw, crap! It's you guys again!" Sid complained. "Oh, that's right; I've got a new trick up my sleeve!" He said, pulling out a Lockseed.
Cherry!
Soda! Cherry Arms! LOCK DEALER SID!
"Eh? You got a new form?" Kousuke commented.
"I'm gonna get some payback for you and your friend breaking my Lock Vehicles!" Sid declared.
Armed with a pair of small spiked clubs, similar to the ones Oni often used, he went at Kousuke.
Haruto meanwhile, was not managing to connect on Leo's thick skin.
"Need a slight diversion," Haruto said, scanning one of his rings.
Smell, Please!
An absolutely putrid cloud of smoke appeared from Haruto, sending Leo reeling and buying Haruto some time to fight fire with fire.
Chōīne! Special! Saikō!
"Let's see how you like my claws," Haruto commented, taking a few slashes himself.
Leo knocked him aside, canceling out his claws.
Connect, Please! Drago Time! Set Up! Start!
Land Dragon Shooting Strike! Dan Den Don Zu Dogon, Dan Den Dogon!
Haruto sent a flurry of rocks flying from his WizarSwordGun, Gun Mode at Leo, but he smashed them into pebbles.
Flame Dragon!
Flame Dragon came out and did his own Shooting Strike, sending fireballs at Leo, but he simply took them.
Water Dragon!
Water Dragon used his Blizzard Ring to freeze Leo solid, but he managed to break free.
Hurricane Dragon!
Hurricane Dragon used his Thunder Ring, which only seemed to aggravate the Horoscope.
Final Time! Dragon-Four-Mation!
All the Dragons called their Drago parts and opened fire together on Leo, but he shrugged them off.
"He seems to be taking everything we throw at him." Hurricane Dragon said.
"Perhaps we should try something different?" Water Dragon suggested.
Haruto scanned the dragon figurine on his Driver.
All Dragon, Please!
Now in All Dragon, a blast of searing flame from the Drago Skull, fanned by a gust of wind from the Drago Wings, this attack forced him to dig in as Haruto launched into Strike Dragon, sending him flying before Haruto returned to Land Dragon.
"Whew." Haruto sighed.
He was completely shocked when Leo got back up again, despite being singed and hit with Strike Dragon.
"It'll take more than that to stop me!"
"Fortunately, I have something else."
Error
"Oh shit…I used too much mana…I can't go Infinity." Haruto thought.
"That's it? I hoped you would be more of a challenge."
Leo went on the attack, knocking Haruto around like a rag doll, mana-less and defenseless against his rampage.
Back at the SKRC Suite…
"How's it looking, Tomoko-chan?" Ryuusei asked.
"Not good. Haruto's out of mana and Leo's taking advantage of it."
"And Nitoh?"
"He's holding his own against Sigurd, but he could probably use some backup."
"Let's go, Gentaro," Ryuusei said.
"Uissu!" Gentaro replied. "Nobody beats up on my buds and gets away with it!"
"Ryu, you and the others please handle the remaining Inves."
"Got it, my lord!"
"Mother, please use the Hyper Disc and assist me in supporting Haruto," Takeru replied.
Super Disc
"Super Shinken Red, going forth!"
"Hyper Princess Shinken Red, also going forth!"
Her sword transformed, she whipped it out towards Leo, as the blade started to bite Leo, temporarily distracting him from hurting Haruto, but leaving him open for a blast from the Mogyuu Bazooka.
"I wonder if this would work…" Kaoru thought to herself, bringing out her Shoudouphone and writing the word "mana" in kanji, and then sending it towards Haruto. Leo responded by knocking her aside.
"Mother!" Takeru shouted.
"Dragon…lend me all the power you have!" Haruto called.
"As you wish, Haruto!"
Once again, Haruto scanned his Infinity Ring.
Infinity, Please! Hi-Sui-Fu-Do-Bou-Zabun-Byu-Dogon!
Chōīne! Finish Strike! Saikō!
Haruto assumed his Gold Infinity Dragon form, and went on the attack against Leo, pushing him back.
"I did not realize Haruto was holding back so much power…" Takeru said.
"The Finale!" Haruto called.
He struck with a more powerful version of his All Dragon finisher, which caused Leo to stagger back before teleporting away.
Meanwhile, Kousuke had his hands full with Sid and his clubs.
Cherry Squash!
A bundle of energy cherries appeared in front of Sid, and he then struck them with his clubs, sending them flying at Kousuke, who tried to cut them down with his sword, but some got through, exploding on contact.
Kousuke switched to his Chameleo Mantle, using its tongue to strike Sid from a distance, but he used one of his clubs to catch it and then reel Kousuke in, striking him repeatedly when the tactic was complete.
"Hey! Haruto! Give me a hand here!"
Flame, Please! Hi-Hi, Hi-Hi-Hi!
Back to basic Flame, Haruto grabbed his WizarSwordGun and charged into the fray to help Kousuke.
"Tono-sama, Hime-sama! There are too many of these things!" Kotoha wailed.
"If we focus, we can beat them!" Ryunosuke said confidently.
The revving of a motorcycle was heard, as the Machine Massigler and Machine Meteorstar arrived on the scene.
"Or we could just wait for some more Kamen Riders to come and help." Chiaki quipped as Mako whacked him upside the head.
"Shinkengers! We're here!" Gentaro shouted.
"Let's get these guys," Ryuusei added.
Meteor, Ready? (funky disco music)
Gentaro depressed the four Transswitches on his Driver.
3!
Kousuke and Haruto continued to fight Sid in Cherry Arms.
2!
Takeru and Kaoru switched back to fighting the Inves.
1!
"HENSHIN!" The two called, as Gentaro raised his arm skyward.
The two rings appeared and a cloud of smoke, as M-BUS zapped Ryuusei.
"UCHUU…KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Gentaro bellowed, curling up and then exploding upwards. "Kamen Rider Fourze! Let's settle this man to man!"
"Kamen Rider Meteor. I will decide…your fate."
"Let's fry these guys extra crispy!" Gentaro declared.
"Sounds good to me!" Ryuusei replied.
Fire!
FIRE ON! (Dramatic music)
Mars, Ready? Okay! Mars!
Gentaro opened fire with the Hee-Hackgun, while a projection of the planet Mars appeared on the end of Ryuusei's fist, adding firepower to his punches as he tore into the Inves with Gentaro.
"Super Mogyuu Bazooka." Takeru declared, as he combined the two weapons, inserted the disk, as the mouth of the weapon roared.
"Heretic Ruination!" The Shinkengers called, firing the weapon and taking out a bunch of Inves themselves.
Klaxons sounded as Gentaro inserted the Fire Switch into the Hee-Hackgun.
Limit Break!
"RIDER EXPLODING SHOOT!"
Saturn! Okay, Saturn!
The Riders' attacks finished off the group of Inves.
"It's over, main dish!" Kousuke declared.
He and Haruto launched into Rider Kicks, knocking him out of henshin as he ran for his life.
"Whew…" Haruto sighed.
Just then, Libra teleported in!
"Another one?" Kousuke called.
"This is not good," Takeru said.
"Should we call the Samurai, my lord?" Ryunosuke asked.
"No, first call Genta. We may need his help."
"I'll go get him." Ryuusei volunteered as he dehenshined. "Gentaro, use Fusion States while I'm gone."
"Uissu!" Gentaro declared as Ryuusei sped off to get Genta.
COSMIC ON! (Bombastic space music)
FUSION ON! (Opera music)
"Feel the full power of my friendship, Libra!" Gentaro declared, turning purple in color and equipped with Ryuusei's Meteor Galaxy.
Haruto pooled his mana with Dragon's once again, returning to Infinity Style, while Kousuke went Hyper. Libra brought in a bunch of Dustards as he charged the heroes.
Meanwhile, Kouta, Micchi, and Zack were on their way to where Libra and Co. were holding Mai and the rest of Team Gaim, only to have Marika and Kaito waiting for them.
"Kaito! Why are you going along with this plan? You care about Mai, don't you?" Kouta shouted.
"Kouta's right, Kaito-san! Help us!" Zack added.
"Very well; I will assist you. But only if you can beat me!" Kaito declared, bringing out his Banana Lockseed.
Kouta, Micchi, and Zack brought out their Lockseeds as well, as did Minato-san.
Banana!
Peach!
Orange!
Budou!
Kurumi!
"HENSHIN!" Everyone shouted, going through their poses.
Come On! Banana Arms! Knight of Spe-ar!
Soda! Peach Arms! Mysterious Marika!
Soiya! Orange Arms! Hanamichi, On Stage!
Hai! Budou Arms! Ryu, Hou, Ha Ha Ha!
Come On! Kurumi Arms! Mister Knuckleman!
"Micchi, Zack, this is our stage now!" Kouta declared as they charged forward at Kaito.
Orange Squash!
Budou Squash!
Kurumi Squash!
Kouta and Zack launched into Rider Kicks, while Micchi charged up his gun, but Kaito had a surprise for them.
Switching into Watermelon Arms, he opened fire with his twin Gatlings, knocking the two out of their kicks, as Marika swiftly closed the distance to Micchi and struck with her Squash function.
"Kouta-san, I think it's time for that 'Ei Ei Oh'! Thing!" Micchi said.
"Aw, cmon Micchi, don't you start too! I honestly thought that dance number would win it for us!"
"That's not what I meant, Kouta-san. We need something shooty to counter Kaito."
"Oh! Kachidoki! Time to rise up my flag!"
"It's, 'raise,' Kouta-san." Micchi corrected.
Soiya! Kachidoki Arms: Iza Shutsujin! Ei, Ei, Oh!
Kouta flipped the pitch switch to high, and scratched the DJ Table, before letting loose with a barrage of suppressing fire.
"Hey, Kouta! Could you loan me Ichigo?" Zack called.
"Here you go!" Kouta said, tossing him a green Lockseed.
"No, Ichigo! Not Ichigou! Shushutto Spark!"
"Oh! Why didn't you say so!?"
Come On! Ichigo Arms! Shushutto Spark!
Now using Kouta's strawberry ninja Lockseed rather than the form of a 70-year-old Kamen Rider, Zack started tossing kunai at Kaito.
Marika brought out a Tulip Hopper to give them an advantage in the shooting match.
"Kouta! Let me use Suika!" Zack asked.
"Okay!" Kouta said, tossing it to Zack and taking back Ichigo.
Come On! Suika Arms! Odama Big Bang! (Bowling pins falling)
"You know how to handle that thing, Zack-san?" Micchi asked.
"No problem! Shouldn't be too hard!"
That was before Zack went through all three modes in rapid succession, rolling around before making it back into Yoroi mode.
"Don't worry! I've got this! Concentrate on Kaito!"
Meanwhile, at Gold Sushi…
Ryuusei pulled up to find the remains of Inves and an extremely happy Genta.
"Hey, you're the 'Hwacha!' guy, right?"
"My name is Ryuusei Sakuta. Hop on, your team needs you. What happened here?"
"You missed it! This guy showed up to try my sushi and…"
"Explain on the way!"
Earlier…
Genta was busy minding his sushi stand when a stylishly dressed man walked up to it.
"Yo." He said simply.
"Welcome to Gold Sushi!" Genta said.
"Yes. I heard you had come to Panorama. I tried to catch you while I was in France, but you had already left."
Genta put his best sushi in front of the man, who dug in, savoring every bite. Unfortunately, a bunch of Inves appeared out of nowhere and closed in on the stand.
"Um, sir…there's a bunch of kaijin coming…"
The man simply pointed his finger to the sky and spoke.
"Grandmother said this: During meals, an angel descends. That is why mealtime is sacred. Kaijin should not disturb a man when he is eating; there will be severe retribution to follow."
He started to fight effortlessly with the Inves, all the while eating the last of his sushi, before turning to face them.
"He's either really good or really crazy to be taking on a bunch of Inves…" Genta thought to himself.
The man stood there, as a metal rhinoceros beetle flew into his hand.
"Henshin." He said, attaching it to his belt.
HENSHIN
"Or he could be a Rider…" Genta said as he took cover behind the stand, peeking over to see what would happen.
"Your sushi was excellent. I shall now repay you for your service by defeating these creatures." He said, lifting the horn of the beetle like it was a lever, as his bulky armor began to unlock from his body.
"Cast Off!"
CAST OFF! CHANGE BEETLE!
The outer shell flew off in pieces, striking the Inves, revealing a sleeker form underneath it. The Rider then tapped a pad on his belt.
"Clock Up!"
CLOCK UP
Genta then lost track, only seeing a red blur zooming around the battlefield, hitting the Inves as all but one exploded.
CLOCK OVER
One Inves was all that stood between the two. Unfortunately, it was a Class A, but this did not faze the Rider, as he pressed three buttons on his beetle buckle in succession.
ONE TWO THREE
"Rider…Kick!"
RIDER KICK
He struck with a swift roundhouse, causing the last of the Inves to explode as he de-henshined and started to walk away.
"Wait! Just who are you!?" Genta called after him.
"Walking the path of heaven… the one who will rule all. Tendou…Souji." He replied, pointing his finger to the sky.
"Hmm, I'm going to have to ask Tomoko-chan about him when we get back," Ryuusei answered.
"You've heard of the guy?" Genta asked.
"No, but my friend Tomoko might; she's an expert on Kamen Riders," Ryuusei explained.
"Ikkan Kanjou!" Genta shouted, transforming into Shinken Gold.
"Thanks for waiting! The same, Gold! Umemori Genta!"
"Genta, be careful. This one is tough." Takeru warned.
"Good, Ryuusei you're back!" Gentaro said, powering down from Fusion States and allowing Ryuusei to turn into Meteor Storm. Libra countered by calling in another batch of Dustards.
"Takeru, you have a plan?" Gentaro asked.
"We've got four Kamen Riders, plus the seven of us and we need a plan?" Chiaki said.
"Mako, please whack Chiaki upside the head," Takeru replied.
"I would have even if you didn't ask me," Mako replied, then proceeding to whack Chiaki upside the head.
"Nee-san! Quit whacking me upside the head!" Chiaki complained.
"Well if you'd keep your mouth shut, I wouldn't have to," Mako replied.
"Ladies, gentlemen, can we focus on the enemy commander?" Haruto asked as he fended off Dustards.
Libra was quite formidable by himself, but against these odds, he would need some help. With Scorpio allocated to the efforts to capture Gaim, Ryugen, and Knuckle, and Sigurd and Leo recovering, that left only two allies, and it would take time for one of them to get there since Duke was incapable of teleportation.
"Bonjour, Monsieur Libra. How can I be of assistance?" Enter replied as he teleported in.
"Stop kissing my ass and help me out here." Libra fired back.
Enter changed into Dark Buster once again and joined the fray.
"Ryunosuke, you and the other Shinkengers concentrate on the foot soldiers. Haruto, Kousuke and Mother will concentrate on Enter while Gentaro, Ryuusei, and I concentrate on Libra."
"Okay, my lord!" Ryunosuke replied as he and the others spun the Discs on their Shinkenmaru to bring out their special weapons. "Water Arrow!" he called, taking aim at some Dustards and taking them out.
"Heaven Fan!" called Mako, as she cut some down as well.
"Wood Spear!" Chiaki called, going on the offensive as well.
"Land Slicer!" Kotoha called, sending it flying into a group of Dustards and dispatching them as well.
"Sakanamaru! Hyakumai Oroshi!" Genta called out, attaching the Sushi Disc to his weapon and using a backhand style to carve up Dustards.
Still in Super, Takeru, Gentaro, and Ryuusei went on the attack against Libra, who kept blocking with his staff.
"Libra's tougher than I remember!" Gentaro exclaimed.
"You'd rather fight Sagittarius?" Ryuusei shot back.
"No, but at least he turned out to be a decent guy in the end!" Gentaro explained.
"My Super Shinkenmaru does not seem to be able to penetrate his armor," Takeru observed.
Gentaro tapped the button on his chest for the Fire Switch, and it appeared in his hand. He then inserted into the slot on the Barizun Sword, as it proclaimed its activation in a choir voice. His sword now powered up with fire, he took a few more swings at Libra, sending him reeling back. He then activated Net, and augmented it with Freeze, tossing a freezing cold net over Libra as he struggled to get it off.
"Now's our chance! METEOR STORM PUNISHER!" Ryuusei shouted, releasing the top at the tip of his staff at Libra.
Shishi Disc
"Shin Kaen no Mai!"
Takeru struck with his finisher, scorching Libra as he staggered back.
(Low-toned klaxon alarms) Limit Break!
Gentaro fired his thrusters and raced towards Libra.
"RIDER GREAT GALAXY FINISH!"
Libra managed to teleport a short distance away as Gentaro swung down with the sword.
"It seems that capturing you for His Malevolence is going to be a heavier burden than I originally thought. Enter! We're withdrawing!"
"Merde! And I was just starting to enjoy myself too. Ah well, au revoir, monsieurs and mademoiselles."
With that, the two teleported away.
Back with Team Gaim and the others…
Arrows, grapeshot, and various bullets flew back and forth as Zack struggled to get the hang of Suika Arms.
"Kouta-san, this is getting us nowhere." Micchi commented as they continued to return fire.
"You're right, Micchi. Any ideas?" Kouta asked.
"We could just charge them." Micchi suggested.
"You know, that might be just crazy enough to work!" Kouta exclaimed. "Break out Kiwi, and let's see what we can do. We can use Zack as cover!"
"What?" Zack asked.
Micchi changed into Kiwi Arms, and the two got behind Zack in Suika and he slowly advanced on both Kaito and Minato-san, absorbing most of their fire. Once they felt they were close enough, the two climbed over Suika and came crashing down on both Kaito and Minato-san.
"Give up, Kaito!" Kouta demanded.
"Very well."
"Where's Mai-san and the others?" Micchi asked.
Kaito indicated a building behind him.
"In there. One of those Horoscopes is guarding them."
As Kouta, Micchi, and Zack headed for the building, Kaito and Minato-san de-henshined and headed off.
"Aren't you going to help us?" Kouta asked.
"I did. Do me a favor and try to survive; I still have a score to settle with you." He said as the two left.
"Well, looks like we're on our own. " Zack said.
"MAI! WE'RE COMING!" Kouta shouted as they began to bash the door in.
"Kouta!" Mai called.
"Stand aside, Kouta-san, I've got this." Zack said, switching back to Kurumi Arms.
Kurumi Sparkling!
Zack trashed the doors, getting the trio inside. A crowd of Dustards awaited them, but Kouta's DJ Gun made quick work of them.
"You may have dispatched my Dustards easily, but you will not have the same luck against me!" the woman answered, pushing the button on her Switch and turning into Scorpio.
"We should fight her outside, Kouta-san. It's too cramped in here." Micchi suggested.
"Okay, Micchi! Zack, you lead the others out. Micchi and I will keep her pinned!"
Micchi went back to Budou Arms and the two opened fire, keeping Scorpio occupied long enough for Zack to lead Mai and the others out and in the direction of safety.
The Scorpion Zodiarts attempted to use her stinger on the two firing Kamen Riders, but the thick armor of Kachidoki Arms protected Kouta. He and Micchi then began to step backwards, keeping their firing up until they were out the door, and then turned and ran to a safe distance as she came storming out.
"Let's see how you like this!" she called, gathering energy and going Supernova, turning into a giant scorpion woman.
"Uh oh. Gentaro forgot to mention them doing this!" Kouta exclaimed. "Any ideas, Micchi?"
"Well, Zack should probably get back into Suika if he can."
"No can do, it's gone rotten!" Zack reported.
"Well, that takes the easy way out of the picture. We'll have to do this the hard way then. I'll try and distract her while you two try going in close and aiming for her legs."
"Let me be the decoy, you two go in for the kill." Zack volunteered.
"Okay." Micchi said, handing him Budou.
Come On! Budou Arms! Ryu, Hou, Ha-Ha-Ha!
Hai! Kiwi Arms: Geki, Rin, Sei-ya Ha!
"Hey! Ugly! Over here!" Zack called, as it turned towards him.
"Let's go Micchi!"
Kiwi Au Lait!
Micchi slashed at its legs with his Kiwi Gekirin, causing it to writhe in pain and bow its head.
1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000,000, 1,000,000,000,000, Muryōdaisū: Kachidoki Charge!
"As Eiji would say, SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kouta bellowed as he came crashing down with Taiken Mode.
Budou Sparkling!
Zack fired as well, causing a large explosion as the unconscious Switcher fell and was caught by Libra, who then teleported away with her.
"Let's get back to the hotel, Micchi. Mai and the others are probably waiting for us." Kouta said as the three de-henshined.
Back at their hideout, Libra was beside himself.
"We captured Gaim's friends, and as expected, he came to rescue them. And worse, my pup was forced to use her Supernova, and is now unconscious. This weighs on me more than the fact that you two, Baron and Marika, barely put up a fight!
"Respectfully, Kaito used to have a counter to Kachidoki."
"Yeah, that Ringo Lockseed DJ Sagara gave me in a dream. BUT THAT DAMN ED WEAPON-SWITCHING WHITE SHOGUN RIDER BROKE IT!"
"You know, I happen to know a thing or two about Lockseeds. I could probably repair it given enough time, but does anyone say, 'Professor Ryoma, please fix my broken Lockseed?' No!" Ryouma Sengoku chimed in from his workshop.
"When I find that guy…he's toast!" Kaito vowed, clenching his fist.
"And you, Lock Dealer Sid! You run every time you lose like a child! Someday you're going to face a foe that won't let you."
"No one's ever going to do that!" Sid protested.
"And lastly we come to you, Enter. Go after Gaim, you said. Capture his friends, you said. I hope your next plan has a bit more weight behind it, because I'll just have Leo turn into Virgo and throw you in the Dark Nebula!"
"Not to worry, Monsieur Libra! Two of our accociates back home have generously provided me with a special virus. They tell me the only countermeasures for it are back in Japan, so if we infect someone here, particularly one of Monsieur Espace's friends, then we should have no trouble convincing him and the Hwatcha! Guy to become part of Operation LHAPN."
"All right, Enter. I'll give you another chance. See to it that this plan works better than your last one."
"Oui, Monsieur Libra."
Outside the Panorama City Convention Center, the banner for the Dance Competion had been taken down, with a poster on the doors announcing the date of the tiebreaker match. It read:
Panorama City Video Game Convention and Tournament
Standing across the street, a young man in gaming attire watched the banner go up and smiled.
"Yossha! This is going to be so much fun!"
As he went to step down to cross the street, he tripped and fell flat on his face.
"Ow…"
See You Next Game…
