Pega-Rider: Hello~ Fanfiction City and you readers out there! It's Pega-Rider coming up with the second chapter of Sengoku Movie Battle! Now, this time we goes to Gaim's segment, but first let's look at the school life of the Gaim Riders, who are the former Puella Magi. Oh, by the way, Gaim's segment will be LONGER, as it's divided into three parts. Yeah, three parts. And chaos begins here. Before I forgot, this chapter is COMPLETELY written by me. Alright, without further ado, let's start!
DISCLAIMER: We, Pega-Rider and Kamen Rider Chrome doesn't own Kamen Rider and Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and the only one I have in this story is the story itself, Kamen Rider Mariachi and Kamen Rider Bima. Kamen Rider belongs to Toei Co. Ltd., and Puella Magi Madoka Magica belongs to Magica Quarters, SHAFT, & Aniplex.

Sengoku Period... Or translated as Warring States Period, is an era of Japanese history where several clans of Japan declared war against each other in sought of dominance. In order to take over whole Japan, the clans battled each other, formed alliance, and even betray each other just to attain it. However, that was long, long ago and written in history as important event since.
But what if the similar things happened?
In Mitakihara City, there used to be field of super-powered young girls, known as "Puella Magi", the magical girls. They gained power after contracting with animal-like creatures, Incubator. Said contract stated that the Puella Magi prospect who made the contract had their wishes granted, in exchange of battling otherworldly creatures causing despair, called as "Witches" for the rest of their lives.
Since the disappearance of Incubators, Puella Magi lost their powers, as well as the Witches. Not long after, a Multi-Sector corporation, Yggdrasil Corporation setting up business at Mitakihara City and grew vastly over few years. However, the community started to become more like a castle town. To escape the feeling of being under castle authority, the youngsters formed dance crews called "Beat Riders" to bring joy back to the public. Some of these youngsters were former Puella Magi who relieved from their powers. However, the rivalry between Beat Riders teams arise to the point they fought each other, similar to gangster thugs. This dispute mostly caused of a Beat Riders team wanted to take over a stage that belongs to another.
Things started to change as Lock Dealers distributed the mysterious padlock-like devices, Lockseed to summon a creature from another world, Inves. Lock Dealers then introduced the new method of settling disputes between Beat Riders: the Inves Game. Using Lockseeds to summon Inves and bringing them into an arena where both Inves fought each other in behalf of their summoners. The winner gets points the loser loses. Since then, every team of Beat Riders aimed to be the top of rankings, becoming their priorities over anything else.
The conflict further galvanized as the Lock Dealers distributed a belt buckle-like devices that could use Lockseeds to their full potential, Sengoku Driver. Using Sengoku Driver, a Beat Rider could become a figure like mentioned in legendary urban lores with superpowers and amazing weapons: Kamen Rider.
Since the arrival of Kamen Riders, Mitakihara City became a replica of Sengoku Period...
KAMEN RIDER GAIM MAGICA
IN
SENGOKU BATTLE ROYALE
At Mitakihara, there was some sort of event going on at the school, specifically Mitakihara High School. The booths lined up nicely on both sides of school field. Some of the booths were facilitated as mini-cafe, shops, game stands, and even fortune-telling stands and galleries. On these booths, students, teachers, and staffs were lining up to get a good or two from them. The students who sold the goods and services gained lots of profits from their products.
Today, Mitakihara High School held an annual school festival, just like schools in Japan did.
For now, we'll turn our attention to a class 2-A, where our heroes and heroine were doing their own ways to celebrate this festival.
The class had decorations of samurai armors and paper folding boards with traditional Japanese paintings. The chairs and tables usually classrooms had were replaced with short table and sitting cushions like in traditional Japanese restaurants. Some of the female students running the class turned mini-restaurant were wearing kimono of some sort.
One of the female student, the girl with long black hair and grey eyes wore a blue kimono with images of orange, pineapple, kumquat, plum, strawberry, and watermelon slices. On the back of kimono was an image of samurai with blue suit and orange armor with asymmetric-crested kabuto helmet. She wore orange obi to keep the kimono wrapping around her body. She looked calm and collected among the students.
Another female student was a girl with twin-tailed pink hair tied with red ribbon and pink eyes wearing white-and-pink kimono with image patterns of cherry blossom petals, and red obi. She looked cheerful and smile always depicted on her face.
Other female student was an olive-haired girl tied with pink ribbon. She had olive eyes with matching color, and wore a green-and-white kimono wrapped together by a red obi.
This female student had jaw-length sky blue hair and eyes with matching color. She wore pink kimono like the pinkette from earlier wore, except it had images of white strawberry (pineberry), blueberry, blackberry, elderberry, and mulberry. Wrapping it together was a pinkish white kimono. She looked more cheerful that the pinkette, and she was full with energy.
They were running the Japanese cafe called "Gaim no Inshoku-Ten", which used Class 2-A as the business place. Unfortunately, this place was devoid of customers, let alone visitors.
"Fu~n... No customer coming here..." The bluenette sighed in disappointment. She looked gloom, as if her energy had been drained away. She was usually full of energy, but this situation made her a bit depressed.
"Yeah, nothing." The greenette nodded. "We should do something, Sayaka."
"Now look at it! "Baron's Courtyard" are selling like crazy!" The pinkette said, pointing at the neighboring class, which was used as business place for some kind of cafe called "Baron's Courtyard", which looked like owned by one of the most popular Beat Riders team, Team Baron. There were several students and teachers lining up for it, no wonder why they were selling like crazy!
Then, the idea came up into the bluenette, Miki Sayaka's head. She then approached the ebony-haired girl. She looked like having some plan...
"Homu-chan!" Sayaka beamed. "Why don't you Henshin? So it'll attract more customers here!"
"Hell no." The ebony-haired girl, Akemi Homura answered coldly. "I learned the hard way not to use my power other than fighting, again."
"Just this once! Pwea~se..." Sayaka begged with her glassy eyes. Seeing Sayaka begged like this, Homura didn't had any choice but to comply. Homura pulled out the belt buckle with a picture of blue samurai helmet facing left and a knife-like lever. After slapping it onto her waist, the buckle produced a yellow belt wrapping around her waist. She then pulled out a lock with design of orange and "LS-07" code label.
"Henshin!" Homura exclaimed as she unlocked the lock, Orange Lockseed.
ORANGE!
SOIYA!
Outside the class, everyone who lined up for Baron's Courtyard were shocked to see Class 2-A suddenly bathed in light.
ORANGE ARMS!
In place of Homura, there was a feminine figure in blue bodysuit with golden checkers along with golden knee pads and shinguards. She had blue samurai kabuto-like helmet with asymmetric katana-like golden horn, long and jutting out at left side and short at right side. The visor had orange slices design, and there were earpieces similar to that of samurai kabuto. The back of helmet had orange skins, plus an orange stem atop the helmet. She wore sets of armor that looked like orange skins and samurai armors. Holstered beside her waist was a katana and gun hybrid.
Homura transformed into Kamen Rider Gaim Orange Arms, much to her chagrin. She had to do it nevertheless, as a way to get customers.
"Everybody, come here! Come here! Come and enjoy the traditional Japanese cuisine with reasonable price!" Gaim shouted in attempt to attract customers.
A group of male students were walking through corridor, and one of them spotted Gaim there, much to their surprise.
"Whoa! Look at that! It's Kamen Rider Gaim!" one of the students gawked in excitement as he pointed at Gaim. "Let's go to Gaim no Inshoku-Ten!"
The gang of students then went to Gaim no Inshoku-Ten. Upon arriving, Sayaka welcomed them with friendly yet energetic smile. "Hai, Irashaimase!"
Soon, the people who lined up for Baron's Courtyard began leaving the queue and went to Gaim no Inshoku-Ten instead. They were hungry and they needed something to eat as soon as possible, so it's better to get into a vacant restaurant rather than dying in hunger due to long wait. Hence, Gaim no Inshoku-ten now was flooded with customers!
Sayaka, Shizuki Hitomi (The greenette), and Kaname Madoka were in charge of serving customers, while Gaim was in charge of cooking along with her male classmate. The waitresses and the customers were happy with this. A Cafe where everyone got served by cute waitresses and ate foods cooked by the Kamen Rider herself. There was nothing like that in this school festival!
"Hello~ Mitakihara City and all you Beat Riders out there!" In a studio was a middle-aged man with brownish black hair and black eyes, wearing goggles over bandanna on his head, polkadot T-Shirt, blue short jeans, and black sneakers. There was also an earphone hanging around his neck. He was broadcasting for his show, Beat Riders Hotline. "It's DJ Sagara coming to you LIVE!"
"Alright, now LISTEN AND BE AMAZED! Especially you, Mitakihara High Students and everyone nearby the school!" The broadcaster, DJ Sagara continued. He was really passionate and energetic when it came to broadcasting his show. He never let everyone down with his hamminess. His trademark attitude was a plus point of his show, no wonder why most of Mitakihara citizens watched this show regularly. "Today, we're having a Mitakihara School Festival, and we're having a BIG thing coming! What else if not... BEAT RIDERS COMPETITION!"
Not only from digital devices such as tablets and smartphones. DJ Sagara's voice even boomed in school radio! This could only mean one thing: DJ Sagara was airing at the school, as part of school festival! And he was in school radio broadcasting room!
"In Mitakihara High School, all Beat Riders throughout the city are participating in this grand competition, aimin' for the best! As you know, Mitakihara High School is a home for the big shots of Beat Riders, such as: Team Gaim's Akemi Homura aka. Kamen Rider Gaim, Miki Sayaka aka. Kamen Rider Fraise, and Kamijou Kyousuke aka. Kamen Rider Bima; Baron's Sakura Kyouko aka. Kamen Rider Baron, and Invitto's Nobi Nobita aka. Kamen Rider Gridon! From now on, you won't be able to peel your eyes away!"
Later that day, in school field, there was stages for Beat Riders to dance on. First off was Team Gaim. With their staple upbeat hip-hop themed music, they danced with free spirit. Everybody at school swarmed the school field to watch Gaim's performance live. Despite Kamijou Kyousuke being mentioned with Team Gaim, he wasn't in the dance formation somehow. He wasn't officially with Team Gaim, that's why. He was just helping out the team in case something bad to the to the team happens. He was watching the performance, and he really pleased to see certain people in the team danced well, namely his friend Sayaka and his girlfriend Hitomi. Speaking of whom, they and the rest of team wore blue hoodies with black-and-white checkers, resembling that of Happi, with exception of Madoka, who wore a short white kimono with red trims and obi.
Besides Homura, Sayaka, Hitomi, and Madoka, there were three boys with identical facial features and team uniforms, but different hairstyles. One boy had short black hair, the second one had brown harajuku-styled hair, and the third had longer black hair. These boys were Osomatsu triplets, namely Osomatsu, Choromatsu, and Karamatsu respectively. Also, there was another girl with blonde hair tied with red ribbon wearing hoodie in similar theme over pink capris, and she wore pink sneakers. She was Himemiya Himeko, a student of Heaven's Tree Private High School, a school owned by Yggdrasil Corporation.
The spectators, students or not, were cheering on Gaim rabidly, while some of them were swinging their Gaim's Happi-themed hoodies. Team Gaim then came up with their most complicated but decisive move. Osomatsu triplets, Hitomi, and Sayaka formed the human pyramid formation, with Osomatsu triplets at bottom, Hitomi and Sayaka at middle. Homura, Himeko, and Madoka were behind them. Madoka jumped over Himeko, and then Homura, climbing to the top of human pyramid. Madoka then leaned her body backwards and let the gravity took a control of it, to the point she landed on Homura and Himeko's arms.
Next up was Team Baron. Their uniform incorporates red shirt under black vest and pants, and black coat with red trims over all of them. Compared to Gaim's, Baron's dances were rather composed and organized, with the leader, a girl with her red hair tied by black ribbons, forming a ponytail; Sakura Kyouko moved as if she moved the entire team, as they danced to a solemn yet upbeat music. Most of Baron members were male, but there was another female member besides the leader. Most notable of these members were these two boys. One had brown messy hair, and another one had blonde one. These boys were students of Mitakihara High, as well as pioneers of Team Baron, namely Ky and Miwa. The Barons' supporters cheered at them each time they made impressive dance moves.
Next up was Team Souten. This was the first team to feature entirely non-Mitakihara High students dancing at the school. All of them wore Japanese-styled clothes, although they were more traditional compared to Gaim's. Most prominent member was a messy red-haired boy wearing white-and-gold knee-length jacket with the shoulder pieces elongated, making it looked like Jinbaori, coats worn by feudal lords. Under the extravagant jinbaori-like jacket was a black T-Shirt with images of green Japanese dragon appeared from the blue clouds, as well as red hakama-like pants. He was the leader of Team Souten, Battler Ushiromiya. He was also a student of Heaven's Tree High. The team with old-fashioned attires danced to an enka music with hip-hop tune, complete with some swordplay.
"KYAAAAA~! BATTLER-SAMA~!"
Some female spectators squealed upon seeing Battler's performance, enchanted by his handsomeness. He then throw an an air-kiss, making one of the female spectator fainted by his spell of love.
Next up was team Pop-Up. This team was unique compared to other teams as it consisted of entirely female members. Not to mention they also worked as idol group. All of them wore white for some sort. White leather jackets over white shirt and hot pants, and they all wore white boots. They also carried sticks as support property of their dances. They danced to a cheerful yet sweet-tuned pop music, just like their team name.
Next up was Red Hot. The entire members of the team wore red of some sort, much more prominent than Baron, much to their team name's namesake. They were dancing rather explosively and full of energy, as if they were on fire. It didn't help that the playing music had some sort of fast-tempo disco tune, as if it was trying to detonate them. The leader wore cap, red jacket over white shirt, black pants, and red sneakers. He was Sonomura.
The last wasn't just one team, but two teams at once! They were Raid Wild and Invitto. Raid Wild members wore black and gold on their attire, while Team Invitto usually didn't have staple uniform, but they had an attribute on common: eyeglasses. Team Raid Wild danced rather beastly, as if they attempted to raid the stage, while Invitto's calm and composed dance managed to keep up with them somehow. These collaborated dance performances surprisingly made a great synergy and harmonious balance. The leader of Raid Wild, however, was nothing but subtle to his team's name and dance moves, as he had feminine yet cute facial features, plus pink hairpins on his hair, making him often mistaken as a girl. He was Kinoshita Hideyoshi. The leader of Invitto had brown, wavy hair and black eyes under his glasses. He wore brown-and-white checkered cardigan over white shirt and black tie, as well as black pants and brown sneakers. His eyeglass frame was black in color. He was Nobi Nobita, one of Mitakihara High students.
"These Beat Riders dance, cutting up concrete! All teams are dancing, riding the beat, and moved with no restriction! You can see them putting everything into the series of skip and beat! Gaim with free spirit, Baron with solemn and harmony, Raid Wild and Invitto with combination between the wild and the civilized, Pop-up with their saccharine joyful prance, Red Hot ready to explode anytime, and Souten conservatively glamorous!" DJ Sagara announced.
After all teams finished dancing, The team's representatives walked onto the stage. Team Gaim had Homura, Himeko, Sayaka, and (unofficially) Kamijou. Other teams only had one representative each: Baron's Kyouko, Raid Wild's Hideyoshi, Invitto's Nobita, Red Hot's Sonomura, and Souten's Battler. They were standing in circles, facing each other. The spectators looked so excited to see this coming.
"And here we go! The Beat Riders Competition entered summit stage, where all Kamen Riders from respective teams fights to be the best! If you don't fight, you won't survive! Alright, without further ado let's begin: Kamen Rider Battle~ Royale!"
All representatives pulled out their respective Sengoku Drivers. Himeko's had the picture of green dragon-themed Chinese-styled helmet, Sayaka's had pink-and-violet archer-styled helmet, Kamijou's had black helmet with eagle's opened beak-like visor, Kyouko's had the red knight-like helmet with iron grills on the eyepiece, Hideyoshi's had a black helmet reminiscent to that of Ashigaru (Japanese spearman), Nobita's had brown helmet reminiscent to that of hornless viking and bug-eyes that looked like glasses, Sonomura's had yellow pirate-like helmet, and Battler's had gray helmet with compound eyes similar to that of Ryugen's, except that the crest-like "eyebrows" were absent.
All of them then slapped their respective buckles on their waists, producing the belt. All of the representatives then backed up a bit and pulled out their respective staple Lockseeds. Homura's had LS-07 Orange, Sayaka's had LS-17 Pineberry, Himeko's had LS-09 Budou / Grape, Kamijou's had LS-26 Mangosteen, Hideyoshi's had LS-01 Matsubokkuri / Pinecone, Nobita's had LS-03 Donguri / Acorn, Kyouko's had LS-08 Banana, Sonomura's had LS-24 Cherry, and Battler's had LS-27 Lime.
"Henshin!" All of them exclaimed as they opened their respective Lockseeds.
ORANGE! / BUDOU! / PINE~BERRY! / MANGOSTEEN! / BANANA! / MATSUBOKKURI! / DO~NGURI! / CHERRY! / LIME!
After that, the zipper portals appeared above them. Coming down from them were giant metal objects shaped like the fruits or nuts their Lockseeds based on. Suddenly…
"ATTENDEZ-VOUS!" a voice yelled, saying "Wait up!" in French.
Everyone turned their attention to the school gate. There was a man in his late twenties, with his blonde hair covering left eye. His eyebrows were styled to curl at its outer end. He also had thin goatee. He wore business suits, with black coat over blue shirt and black tie, as well as black pants and black leather shoes. Attached on his coat was an ID Card, with the ID read, "Sanji Alfonzo, Head Patissier of Le Charlotte".
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am The Professional Fighting Chef… Sanji Alfonzo." The man introduced.
"Urgh, It's him!" Homura mentally groaned in shock upon seeing this guy. He was a person she considered enemy, as she had asked him for a job and she got rejected because of her horoscope. She hates this guy very much since then, especially after Sanji decided to defeat every single Beat Riders.
"Alfonzo-sama~!" Sayaka, however, blushed in happiness as she saw Sanji, as she was a fan of Le Charlotte's cakes. She liked them very much, and she adored him in aspiring level. She hoped if she could work with him, but sadly she couldn't since he hated Beat Riders and Sayaka was one of them.
"Why don't you invite moi into this little event of brilliance?" Sanji asked. He just didn't wanted to be left out of the loop, did he? "So, I can bring extra seasoning for this said Battle Royale…"
Sanji then pulled out his Sengoku Driver with a picture of yellowish green spiked gladiator helmet with a scar seemingly missed the eyes. He wore the belt and pulled out a Lockseed with durian design and "LS-12" code.
"Henshin." Sanji announced as he unlocked the lock.
DU~RIAN!
Like the Beat Riders, a zipper portal appeared above him, and a giant dark green durian coming down from it. The fruit followed him as he walked onto the stage, standing in circles along with Beat Riders. All of them then locked their respective Lockseeds.
LOCK ON!
Then, Homura, Sayaka, and Hideyoshi's Sengoku Driver played standby music of Horagai, a Japanese trumpet music, while Kyouko, Nobita, and Sonomura's played European marching trumpet music, Himeko, Kamijou and Battler's played Chinese Erhu music, and Sanji's played American heavy metal guitar music. They then "cut" their Lockseeds open by pulling knife-like levers.
SOIYA! / COME ON! / HAI~H! / *Guitar riff*
The fruits and nuts dropped to their respective summoners' heads. The orange fell onto Homura, coating her with blue body suit and golden accents on his wrists, ankles, knees, legs, and backhands.
The white strawberry, pineberry fell onto Sayaka, coating her with pink bodysuit with violet accents on her wrists, ankles, knees, legs, arms, and even some outlining something on her chest resembling a bra.
The grape bunch fell onto Himeko, and she now was clad in green garb-like outer suit, gauntlets, shoulder pads, and boots with golden lines; over a black undersuit. Also, there was green additional cloth on the waist, under her belt with dragon-like markings.
The mangosteen fell onto Kamijou, coating him with black bodysuit lined with golden trims and Batik-like markings on the gauntlets.
The banana dropped onto Kyouko's head, wearing her a red-and silver body suit similar to Gaim's, except there was silver gauntlets and thigh armors with medieval-styled markings.
The pinecone fell over Hideyoshi, coating him in black bodysuit styled like Gaim's, but the golden part was replaced by silver.
The acorn fell over Nobita, coating him in brown-and-silver bodysuit like Baron's.
The cherries fell over Sonomura, coating him in yellow-and-silver bodysuit like Baron's.
The lime fell over Battler, coating him in grey-and-black bodysuit with bluish teal lines like Ryugen's. There was a mandala-like sign in the place where Ryugen's dragon markings were.
Lastly, the durian fell over Sanji, coating him in lime green-and-violet bodysuit like Baron's, but the violet gauntlets and thigh armors were covered with spikes.
ORANGE ARMS! / BUDOU ARMS~! / PINEBERRY ARMS! / MANGOSTEEN ARMS! / BANANA ARMS! / DONGURI ARMS! / MATSUBOKKURI ARMS! / CHERRY ARMS! / LIME ARMS! / DURIAN ARMS!
Underneath the fruits and nuts, the helmets were formed, covering the respective transforming combatants.
Underneath the orange, Homura's head was covered with blue samurai kabuto-like helmet with asymmetric katana-like golden horn, long and jutting out at left side and short at right side. Soon, a slice of orange fell into her head, giving the orange slice-like visor and more kabuto pieces, plus an orange stem atop the helmet.
Underneath the grape, a helmet like depicted on her Sengoku Driver covering Himeko's head, and then a piece of grape and dragon crest-like earpieces came down, coloring her eyepieces purple.
Underneath the pineberry, Sayaka's head was covered with hood-like helmet, with typical Rider's compound eyes and a silver mouthpiece. A pineberry slice slid into place, forming a pink and white visor, along with green strawberry stem on top of a pineberry over her helmet.
Underneath the mangosteen, Kamijou's head was covered with the helmet with eagle beaks-like visor and silver mouthpiece. A mangosteen slice slid into place, coloring the visor white and giving a pair of wing-like earpieces, as well as a headpiece forming a hat of some sorts, with the mangosteen stem curled from atop of head to head again.
Underneath the giant banana, the red-and-silver knight helmet with iron grills in its eyepiece and blue gem on the forehead formed over Kyouko's head. Then, a piece of banana along with banana-like horns descended smoothly into her head, coloring the uncovered section of the compound eyes yellow.
Under the acorn, a brown hornless viking-like helmet with glasses-like compound eyes formed over Nobita's head, and acorn slice slid into place, coloring his eyes yellow.
Under the pinecone, Hideyoshi gained a black helmet resembling Ashigaru, with silver bandanna-like linings on the forehead, and a silver mouthpiece with rope-like attachments. Then, a pinecone slice slid into place, coloring his visor yellow and gaining hood-like attachments.
Under the cherry, Sonomura gained a yellow helmet resembling a pirate of some sort, with eyepatch-like visors. Then, a cherry slice slid in, coloring the visor red, and gaining a headpiece similar to that of pirate's hat.
Under the lime, Battler gained a gray helmet resembling a Chinese warrior, with tealish blue mouthpiece, and a pair of compound eyes similar to that of Ryugen's. It had fanged black jaw piece, as well as black stripes on the cheek and forehead, making the helmet also resembled a white tiger. Then, a lime slice slid in, giving the bug eyes green color and lime slices in both compound eyes, as well as headpieces similar to that of worn by Hindu deities.
Under the durian, Sanji gained a lime green helmet with spiked silver mouthpiece and cap, and on the cap and below his left eye was scar-like tears, connecting to each other. Then, durian slice slid int, coloring the eyes yellow and giving pointed earpieces, as well as a red mohawk.
The fruits began to splash juices while the nuts burst nut chunks and powders, as they opened one by one.
The front and sides of orange folded onto themselves, before folded onto Homura's chest and shoulders respectively. The back just simply folded onto Homura's back. The armor pieces then fit into place. Upon armor forming, Homura gained a katana with blade shaped like orange slice.
The sides of grape just folded onto the shoulders, while the top and back of grape folded in before folded onto her back. The front of grape folded in and onto her chest. Himeko then gained a gun with ornaments shaped like a bunch of grapes on its both sides.
Then, the pineberry slid into position over Sayaka's chest, shoulders, and back. The shoulder parts looked like vines that a strawberry would grow on, her chest area was shaped like a heart, another part then formed a back, with pink clothes formed under the belt. Upon transforming, Sayaka got a bow with pineberry-like edges, and a pack of pineberry-tipped arrows on back.
The mangosteen opened, with the left side and the top folded in to form left shielded shoulder armor. The left side and back just folded onto left shoulder and back respectively. Then, a chest piece from inside the mangosteen connected with the front of mangosteen folded in before folding onto chest to form chest plate. The chest plate had a symbol of mangosteen endocarps forming eight-pointed star. Upon transforming, Kamijou gained a pair of mangosteen-themed clawed gauntlets, with the epicarps formed the gauntlet and the endocarps formed the curved, sharp-edged claws.
The banana splashed pale yellow juices as it opened up, with the either sides of banana folded down to attach with the shoulders while the sides folded onto chest and back. The chest armor looked like golden chest and abs, lined with black. Upon transforming, Kyouko gained a banana-like spear with the "peels" open to form handguard.
The upper sides of acorn became shoulder armors, the backs became backplate, and the fronts along with a chest piece with shield-like insignia became chestplate. The brown Rider gained an acorn-like mallet.
The pinecone folded onto place in similar way as Donguri Arms. Upon transforming, this new figure gained a spear with a pinecone under its blade.
The Cherry opened, and the cherry fruitlets moved onto shoulders, and the stem folded, attached to back. The back and front folded out onto place, and the chest piece from inside the cherry attached into the back of cherry's front, forming a chestpiece. Upon transforming, Sonomura gained a cutlass and a flintlock like pistol with cherry designs.
The lime opened, and it folded similarly to Gaim's Orange Arms, except that the shoulder armors had arm-like appendages complete with hands poking out of the upper side of shoulder armor, appearing as if they held them. Each shoulder plates had two of these hands. The chest armor had design similar to Ryugen's except the orb was singular, and mandala-like markings was inside it. Upon transforming, Battler gained a pair of handheld katars with lime slices as the blades.
Lastly, the durian folded, with the top sides moved onto shoulders, and the lower parts became torso armors. Upon folding, the silver T-like borderlines on the chestplate grew spikes, as well as the green section of the chest plate. Upon transforming, Sanji gained a pair of spiked swords at their blades with handguards.
HANAMICHI ON STAGE! / RYU, HOU! HA-HA-HA! / BERRY~ HEROINE! / MAHABHARATA IN THE HOUSE~! / KNIGHT OF SPEAR~! / NEVER GIVE UP~! / ICHIGEKI IN~ THE SHADOW! / MIGHTY PLUNDERER! ARGH, MATEY! / RAI, MU! HAI-YAH! / MISTER~ DANGEROUS!
Homura had transformed into Kamen Rider Gaim Orange Arms, while Himeko transformed into Kamen Rider Ryugen Budou Arms, Sayaka into Kamen Rider Fraise Pineberry Arms, Kamijou into Kamen Rider Bima Mangosteen Arms, Kyouko into Kamen Rider Baron Banana Arms, Nobita into Kamen Rider Gridon Donguri Arms, Hideyoshi into Kamen Rider Kurokage Matsubokkuri Arms, Sonomura into Kamen Rider Viscount Cherry Arms, Battler had transformed into Kamen Rider Asura Lime Arms, and Sanji into Kamen Rider Bravo Durian Arms.
All of Kamen Riders looked at each other as they readied themselves, waiting for the start bell.
"Ara, who else if it isn't you, Sagittarius girl." Bravo said, turning to Gaim, pointed his sword Durinoko at her. He remembered Homura as one of rejected applicants for side job in Le Charlotte due to his weird interview about birthday.
"Tch, that annoying patissier-wannabe." Gaim snickered, unpleased with his sudden arrival. She didn't see the point why would Bravo butt in each time Beat Riders-related battles occurred. "You just can't leave us alone, can you?"
"Hmph." Baron scoffed when seeing Bravo, an opponent she had fought before since his declaration of war against all Beat Riders. "What a coincidence. I've some scores to settle with you."
"Oh, it's been a while, Mademoiselle Banana." Bravo replied to Baron, addressing her with a petty nickname.
"Just shut the fuck up!" Baron retorted, detesting that petty nickname Bravo gave to her. "Besides, you're not my only foe!" She continued as she pointed her lance Banaspear at Bravo's neck.
"My, my." Bravo shrugged as he put away the tip of lance from his neck.
"Hey, hey," Gridon poked Kurokage. "Are you sure this is Battle Royale? Then what if we've to fight by AND between ourselves?" He asked in uncertainty.
"I dunno, but… just figure it yourself, okay?" Kurokage sighed upon seeing his "partner in crime" acted as if he chickened out.
"Hey, look! You're afraid being alone, four-eyed coward?" Viscount asked provokingly with a laugh.
"No, actually." Asura said. "While both of their combination could be deadly, This four-eyes has unbreakable armor, so he can tank a lot of damages by himself." He added.
"Oh, yeah?! Then who the hell do you think you are, playboy?!" Gridon retorted at Asura, provoked by him with the way the latter referred the former.
"And who're you calling playboy, dandy-wannabe playboy?!" Asura retorted back.
"Hot-head!"
"Chicken!"
"Exhibitionist!"
"Noob!"
"Urgh…! You retarded feminist!"
"Four-eyed acorn man!"
While Gridon and Asura were insulting each other, the words they shouted comically appeared over them for Beat Riders Hotline's comical effect. Seeing Gridon and Asura butting their heads with their pun-battle, Kurokage could only sigh with a facepalm.
"Akemi." Baron began. "I hope we could settle our scores."
"As you wish, Kyouko." Gaim replied cynically.
Ryugen and Fraise could only look at the rivaling Riders with worry…
"Alright! We've set the location for this battle!" DJ Sagara announced. "It'll be in Mitakihara Park, where a pair of opposing Riders are placed at separate area! If you defeat your foe, you can go to other area to defeat other Riders or to help them! OK, let's roll the match lineup! First is..."
All Riders braced themselves to see what the lineup would come up with. This indicated that DJ Sagara randomly picked the lineup.
"Gaim vs…" DJ Sagara announced as the image of Gaim appeared on the screen on stage. Baron hoped that she could fight Gaim in this match, while other Gaim Riders hoped they didn't get picked into this first lineup.
"Baron!"
Baron smirked pleased under her helmet, while Bravo gasped in shock and disbelief. "DIS DONC!" A French for "Hey!".
This made Fraise worried a bit.
"The next is… Gridon VS Ryugen!"
"Great. Now I've to face that gunslinger." Gridon muttered annoyed sarcastically.
"Don't worry, I'll make it fair." Ryugen responded, recalling how Gridon complained about using guns on him when he and his partner-in-crime Kurokage had backstabbed Baron first time to break free from Baron's alliance.
"Next up… Kurokage VS Viscount!"
"Ha! You can't beat me with that obsolete Lock!" Viscount taunted.
"Let's see, Sonomura." Kurokage scoffed in response.
"And then… Fraise VS Asura!"
"Your rapture magic won't work for me!" Fraise boasted.
"Oh yeah?" Asura sneered. "I hope you don't wanna hook up with that gay ass patissier, Sayaka-chan."
"Beats me!"
"And finally, Bima VS Bravo!"
"So I've to face this violin boy, eh?" Bravo inquired. "While I admire your music art, siding with Beat Riders are nothing but sad news to me."
"How lucky of you." Bima said sarcastically as he pointed his claw at Bravo. "Let's settle our scores this time!"
"Alright, with the lineups set, let's move to Mitakihara Park! Okay, Ride to the Beat, Riders! Pow!" DJ Sagara finished.
(Cue BGM: Just Live More by Gaim no Kaze)
Later at Mitakihara Park, Gaim and Baron battled each other on the north of Mitakihara park. First, they clashed their weapons against each other, and Baron kicked Gaim off. Then, the blue Samurai Rider tried to slash Baron at chest, only to be locked down.
"Just like old times, eh?" Baron remarked, recalling her old times as Puella Magi when she and Homura fought each other for first time.
"Yeah." Gaim agreed. "And you're starting to return to your old self too."
Both Riders then released their lockdown and stepped backwards. Baron walked to Gaim with threatening look, while Gaim moved her orange slice-shaped katana, Daidaimaru to her left hand while drawing her katana-gun hybrid weapon holstered beside her waist, Musou Saber. They then clashed her weapons again until Baron thrusted Gaim at chest, pushing her few steps back. Gaim then blocked Baron's blow and kicked her off, so she could have some room to set her Musou Saber to gun mode. After the side weapon charged up, Baron rushed to swat her, only to be blocked and got shot from close range. With sword-gun hybrid weapon like that, Gaim could easily pull off surprise move with the enemies off guard. Gaim then jumped backwards while firing few shots at Baron. The Knight of Spear then rushed in and swung her weapon again swiftly, slashing Gaim at chest.
Meanwhile with Ryugen and Gridon, the latter ran off the parks, with the former tried to land a shot while chasing after him. Looks like Ryugen had just forgotten what Gridon said about ranged weapons earlier, right?
"I told you! Ranged weapons are cheating!" Gridon complained while running off. "Ow!" He groaned as he got another shot from Ryugen on his butt.
"Oh, yeah? Then I'll make it fair!" Ryugen said annoyed as she pulled out a lock with kiwi design and "LS-13" code.
KI~WI!
After unlocking the lock, a zipper portal appeared above her, and a big kiwi came down. Ryugen then changed the lock on Sengoku Driver with the new one.
LOCK ON!
HAI~H!
Soon, the grape armor vanished in thin air, before a kiwi fell over the Chinese-themed Rider and began opening. The topmost of kiwi folded into the left side to form left shoulder armor, while the lower top folded into the right side to form right shoulder armor, which had kiwi slice on it. Then, the chest piece with halved kiwi slice folded into the front side to form chestplate, and the back of kiwi folded onto her back. Ryugen's helmet now had some kind of earpieces resembling dragon's crests and a kiwi slice in her eyes. In Ryugen's both hands were a pair of large, curve-bladed chakrams with kiwi slices on their center.
KIWI ARMS! GEKI, RIN! SEI-YA, HA~!
Ryugen had transformed into Kiwi Arms!
"Haaaaa!" Ryugen yelled as she charged towards Gridon, while the acorn Rider rushed as well, trying to bonk her with his mallet, but she ducked to evade, and then she swung her chakram, Kiwi Gekirin as soon as she stood up to slash Gridon, and then she kicked him off. However, Gridon held his stomach like he had a nausea or gastritis. "Ow, ow, ouch…" He groaned as he… kneeled?
"I give up! I give up!" Gridon apologized, kneeling at her while pulling out a small white flag made of handkerchief. This made her stared for a while, until… "A-Ha!" Gridon suddenly got up like nothing had happened (Actually he was making it up) and swung his hammer in attempt to bonk Ryugen off guard!
It was revealed to be one of Gridon's trick, as Nobi Nobita was known for his underhanded tactics. But the Gaim's strategist couldn't be fooled, as she knew his reputation for such. She swiftly moved her chakrams to block the hammer bonk. She then spun gracefully with slashes, sending him tumbled.
"I give up! I'm serious!" Gridon gawked, as he got up on his knees and pointing at the white flag he held.
"I don't believe you!" Ryugen growled as she sliced her lock once.
HAI~H! KIWI SQUASH~!
Ryugen then took a stance, readied her chakrams as they charged up with energy kiwi slices. "Yaaah!" She then yelled as she threw both chakrams at Gridon, which resulted an explosion.
"KAMEN RIDER GRIDON BLASTED OFF AGAIN~!" Gridon yelled as he got blown away by the explosion to the air, before disappearing in a twinkle. Ryugen just sighed, finally that coward four-eyed cheater learned his place.
Meanwhile with Bima and Bravo, they clashed their weapons against each other, with Bravo seemed to be the offensive side. The durian Rider then kicked Bima off before the latter raked the former with his claws Kuku Bimanggis, pushing Bravo few steps back.
"Time to claw my way to victory!" Bima exclaimed as he took his battle stance.
"For an amateur, you seem to have talents." Bravo praised, with the use of "amateur" in French accent. "However, you need to train more!"
Bravo rushed to Bima again, and they blocked each others attacks blow by blow. While Sanji was a professional combatant due to his past life as terrorist and retired soldier, Kamijou wasn't a slouch in combat himself. In fact, they could be equal in terms of power, but the former's experience added more lethality on his moves, truly Mister Dangerous.
Bima, on the other hand, must be praised for his dedication of giving every best in this fight. He could use enemy's opening as mean to counterattack. After Bima blocked Bravo's attack, the latter swung his sword again, only for the Indian Warrior-themed Rider to evade and counter him with swift rakes. Bima then kicked Bravo before he gave some slashing shockwaves as he raked the air, sending the gladiator-themed Rider tumbling aback.
"Impressionnant!" Bravo praised, saying "Impressive" in French. "But not good enough!"
He then pulled out a Lockseed with Tomato design and LS-41 code.
TO~MATO!
As tomato appeared above Bravo, he replaced the lock on the belt.
LOCK ON!
As Bravo cut the lock open, his belt played a guitar riff. The durian armor vanished, so the tomato could land over him.
TOMATO ARMS! MISTER~ CATCHER!
The tomato folded in similar way as Durian Arms, except that the stem folded onto back. He then gained a tomato-themed trident. Bravo had transformed into Tomato Arms.
"Let's see if you can chew this one!" Bravo taunted as he twirled his trident, Tomatent before charging at Bima. "En garde!" He shouted "Get ready" in French.
Bima defended the trident swing with his claws, only for Bravo to pull off and thrust him with the trident's hilt, pushing Bima a couple of steps. The mangosteen Rider tried to rake Bravo, but the long trident prevented him from getting any clean hit. Bravo just pounded him with the trident's hilt and slashed him at chest.
"I'm not done yet!" Bima snapped. After standing up, Bima sliced his lock twice. He had to do this to take down a powerful foe like Bravo.
HAI~H! MANGOSTEEN AU LAIT!
Bima took a set up stance while charging his claws, and then he summoned a gigantic energy mangosteen with its endocarp open forming spikes as he reached out his hand to the sky. He then swung his hand down to move the giant mangosteen, so its "spikes" could hit Bravo. The now Mister Catcher didn't let that outwit him either. He sliced his lock thrice to activate another finisher to counterattack.
TOMATO SPARKING!
Bravo twirled his Tomatent to create an energy tomato, he then brought the tomato up to the air to intercept the mangosteen, destroying it which caused the tomato and mangosteen juices splashed all over the place.
Meanwhile with Fraise and Asura, both of them were running and rolling, evading each other's shots like a gunfight in action movies. Fraise with her bow Berrybow and Asura with his katars Limettar. After few meters of running, both Riders stopped and they readied their own weapons, aiming at each other. Both of them fired their weapons and the projectiles clashed. They then rushed to each other and clashed their weapons for a while before stepping back.
"Wow, for a ranged combat specialist, you look good on melee combat." Asura noted. "Maybe we can spar together, and then going on a date sometimes?"
"What if I say no?" Fraise retorted as she aimed her arrows to the flirty Chinese-themed Kamen Rider. "But anyways, Thank you for your compliment and I've been used to that." She recalled her time as Puella Magi where she used sword as her main weapons.
Asura rolled aside as Fraise released her arrows again, and he sliced his lock thrice.
HAI~H! LIME SPARKING!
Suddenly, Asura's shoulder armors opened, and "hands" on Asura's shoulder armors began to fold out, until he got four additional mechanic arms on his armor! Four arms on Lime Arms? (Pardon for the pun) Also, each additional hand gained a copy of his Limettar! He then swiftly deflected the arrow with these katars in mechanic hands with ease.
"W-what the-?!" Fraise gawked in shock upon seeing this "abomination". Then, her mind shifted to some kind of… unpleasant scenes with tentacles. "T-T-Tentacle rape?! Eew!" She then shrugged off that imagination clouding her mind, and started to focus back to battle.
"Surprised, Sayaka-chan?" Asura cheerfully inquired. "Anyways, this is just the beginning, darling!"
Asura then rushed towards Fraise and tried to hack and slash her. Of course, with the weapons as many as those, the pineberry Rider had trouble to parry those, let alone evade them. Though she managed to block and evade few blows, she mostly got the slashes and thrusts cleanly. The flamboyant lime Rider then brought the Limettars in his both real hands to Fraise, pushing her tumbling.
"Mou!" Fraise growled annoyed as she stood up. "I just need this guy to bring you up!" Fraise then pulled out and unlocked her another Lockseed, which had blueberry design and "LS-15" code.
BLUE~BERRY!
The blueberry appeared above Fraise before she replaced the currently used lock.
LOCK ON!
SOIYA!
The pineberry armors disappeared, so the blueberry could land over her.
BLUEBERRY ARMS! SIGNORA OF~ THE NUNCHAKU!
The blueberry opened and folded into place. The tops of blueberries became shoulders, and the vines jutted out from her backplate from the blueberry's back bottom. On her chestplate was a blueberry in shape of upside-down heart. Upon transforming, a pair of nunchucks appeared in her hands. Fraise had changed into Blueberry Arms.
Fraise twirled her nunchucks by the hanging ends, before doing a pose like a legendary martial arts actor, Bruce Lee did, complete with a… "HWACCHA~!"
The now blueberry Rider then jumped and swung her nunchuck, Berry Bluechuck in attempt to assault Asura upwards, and the six-armed Rider blocked it with his additional hands. She then kicked his chin in a somersault, sending him blown away, but he quickly retaliated with a cartwheel roll. The blueberry Rider then rushed forwards to attack, which brought both fighting Riders to clashed their weapons for moments until Fraise kicked him at his chest and kicked him at head with a jumping roundhouse kick, knocking him aside. Asura then got up on his feet before repeatedly slashing the air to send several slashing beam projectiles to Fraise, only to be knocked off with some nunchuck swings. She then sliced her lock once.
SOIYA! BLUEBERRY SQUASH!
Fraise swung her nunchucks with graceful moves as they were charged up with energy blueberries flying around her wrists. She then proceeded to smash Asura's mechanical arms, and then she sent powerful and quick blows to Asura, decimating him and rendering Battler normal again. Battler's jinbaori got shredded and his face got some bruises from the attack.
Next up was Viscount and Kurokage. The former seemed to have advantage over the latter due to Sonomura's Lockseeds graded higher than Hideyoshi's. Kurokage wasn't a slouch himself, either. He managed to fend off some of Viscount's shots and lunged for an attack with his spear Kagematsu. Granted with such long weapon the pinecone Rider could reach the adversities otherwise other Riders could hardly reach. Also, a long spear could enhance his area of defense. Viscount, on the other hand had not just a kind of weapon, but two kinds. A cutlass and a flintlock. These made his fighting style more versatile, considering he could switch between melee and ranged combat without any difficulty.
Kurokage landed some whacks, pounds, thrusts, and slashes on Viscount with ease, but the Red Hot leader didn't yield just yet, as he tried to strike back with cutlass slashes. Of course, most of the attacks were just halted by the spear, but the pirate-themed Rider just shot Kurokage at chest when he didn't expect it. Then, when Kurokage's defenses were left open, Viscount proceeded with swift slash attacks and sometimes with quick shots. After getting quick attacks, Kurokage quickly retaliated and proceeded to counterattack. He jumped and lunged with his spear Kagematsu to mark a decisive hit on Viscount at head, sending him tumbling.
"How's that?" Kurokage taunted. "Don't judge book by its cover!"
"Tch, all big talk!" Viscount groaned angered as he stood up. "Don't think you're the top gun!"
Viscount shot rapidly while rushed toward Kurokage, only to be fend off by the latter spinning, but he was left open for slashing attacks, and the former kicked off Kurokage's Kagematsu and kicked him again at chest to push him few steps back. The cherry Rider then fired a charged shot from his flintlock to have him tumbled off.
"See? You're just all big talk!" Viscount mocked as he sliced his lock once.
COME ON! CHERRY SQUASH!
"And goodbye!" Viscount bid as he slashed the air to make a slashing beam projectile and then he finished it with an energy shot, charging the slashing beam faster!
"Don't get carried away!" Kurokage retorted as he picked up his spear and sliced his lock thrice.
SOIYA! MATSUBOKKURI SPARKING!
Kurokage spun in high speed before flying towards Viscount like a black tornado, with energy pinecone enveloping him. The tornado then clashed with Viscount's energy projectiles, and the latter won over the former in power, sending the pinecone Rider flying and hitting the tree, reverting his transformation as he stumbled. Hideyoshi had his face bruised and some minor wounds peeking from the shredded jacket and shirt.
Back with Bima and Bravo, they went back on fighting, and clashing their weapons, blocking each other's attacks. Bravo then used his trident to fend off his attacks and attack the mangosteen Rider by hitting him at his chest by its hilt, and then proceeded with some slashes and thrusts. He then thrusted Bima once more so he could send him tumbled away.
"Hahahaha!" Bravo laughed mockingly. "Is that all you got?"
When Bravo was about to finish Bima off, suddenly something came at him. Energy bullets. Bravo turned to deflect them, and he saw Ryugen back in Budou Arms shooting at him, which he repelled with a trident spin. The dragon Rider then flipped her gun reversed so she wielded it as if she had been using a tonfa. Bravo and Ryugen then quickly charged to each other with the latter mostly avoiding his attacks. Granted that the gun could be barely used as melee weapon, as it intended for ranged fight. Not to mention the barrel was too short for blocking attacks.
Ryugen then flipped back to give herself some room to shoot Bravo, which he shrugged off with the Tomatent. He then shot the net from the end of its hilt, capturing Ryugen while catching her off guard!
"Kuh…!" Ryugen groaned, trying to get off from the net.
"Ara, you must be surprised." Bravo said. "Because there's no way for you amateurs to match a pro like me!"
"Don't get cocky!" Bima shouted as he ran to Bravo and swiped the tomato-armored Rider with his claws, trying to return the favor. He then kicked Bravo back while the latter tried to charge at him, and the Ghatotkacha-motif Rider continued with shooting multiple slashing projectiles from his Kuku Bimanggis, sending the patissier turned Kamen Rider further stumbling away. After that, Bima tore the net all around Ryugen, setting her free.
"Thank you, Kamijou-san." Ryugen thanked.
"No problem." Bima answered.
"CONCENTREZ-VOUS!" Bravo shouted "Focus!" in French as he rushed back to Bima and Ryugen, starting to whack them with his tridents, Ryugen evaded while Bima parried the strike and swiped in return, which Bravo missed. Ryugen then shoot him at his back, which he unnoticed, and then Bima used this as chance to strike him down, with his Kuku Bimanggis charged with energy mangosteen slices and swiped him to deal the fatal blow.
"C'EST INCROYABLEEEEEE!" Bravo screamed "It can't be!" in French as he fell tumbling from the attack. Just when he was about to stand up, Ryugen readied her own finishing blow as she sliced her lock once.
HAI~H! BUDOU~ SQUASH!
Ryugen cocked the hammer on her gun Budou Ryuhou, so as she aimed the gun at Bravo, the energy grape orbs flew around the gun from the grape-like compartment on both sides of the gun, while an aura of golden chinese dragon wrapped around the gun barrel.
"Eat this!" Ryugen roared as she pulled the gun's trigger. As the violet dragon head appeared upon the gunbarrel and roared, the gun fired volley of purple energy shots like a gatling gun, hitting Bravo rapidly and relentlessly. To add the firepower, the dragon charged to Bravo, resulting an explosion.
"DIS DOOOOONC!" Bravo screamed as he got blown away from the shot, forced out of his transformation as he tumbled. Sanji groaned in pain after he forcefully reverted to normal.
"Whoa! Look at these battles! Suddenly, the fight turned into the heat as we got three Riders down! Gridon blasted off by Ryugen! It reminds us to some kind of a video game with monsters, and it's tickling our stomachs! After that, she moved to help Bima taking down Bravo! Oh, we also got Kurokage's butt getting handed by Viscount with his fiery blasts and swashbucklers! Then, Asura's charm couldn't even hold Fraise from getting him kung-fu'd! As for Gaim and Baron, they're still fighting for it!"
Back with Gaim, she now was in Pine Arms, with pineapple-like shielded shoulder armors and spiky yellow breastplate and back of helmet. She swung the pineapple-like meteor hammer at its spiked end to Baron, who now in Mango Arms, clad in red-and-orange armor with mango dices on shoulders, abs, and curled down horns. The latter blocked it with her long mace with large spiked mango dice-like morning star. Baron then yelled as she charged to Gaim with her red-and-orange cape flailed, and then she beat Gaim with her mace Mango Punisher. She then thrusted Gaim at her chest with hilt of the mace, and she swung the mace with full power to send her swatted away, tumbling her.
"Let's finish this." Baron scoffed as she sliced her lock once.
COME ON! MANGO SQUASH!
"Not over yet!" Gaim responded as she got up, slicing her lock thrice.
SOIYA! PINE SPARKING!
The pineapple armor reformed into its fruit form, flew off from Gaim. The samurai Rider then threw her meteor hammer Pine Iron to the insides of the big pineapple, connecting them. She then threw the big pineapple with full force, as it was pretty heavy for her to pull, so expect heavy hit from it.
Baron on the other hand charged up her Mango Punisher with energy mango dices, making it grew twice its size. She then swung the mace with all her might to respond the giant pineapple throw until they collided, brewing out sparks and fierce shockwave strong enough to shake grasses and trees around them.
"HAAAAAAAH!" Both opposing Riders were pushing their weapons as strong as possible to decide whose blow would break off another to land a decisive hit. After few moments of pushing all their strength into their weapons, the big pineapple managed to drop off the mace, hitting Baron hard to the point she got blown away!
The pineapple then returned to Gaim, disconnecting from Pine Iron and forming back her Pine Arms armor.
Back at school, the spectators and the non-combatant Beat Riders watched the battles from the large monitor on the stage while cheering on their respective Riders. They sure had some excitement to see who would wIn this Battle Royale. However, Madoka thought otherwise. She looked with a bit of worry now that Team Gaim had to fight their former teammate who turned out to be the leader of Team Baron.
"I wonder if Homura-chan would be okay…" Madoka sighed, hoping something bad wouldn't happen to Homura, especially after she decided to duel with Kyouko against her wishes.
"I'm sure she's okay." Hitomi said as she patted Madoka's shoulder. This made the pinkette lightened up a bit. "If Kyousuke-kun did it, then I'm pretty sure Homura can."
"That's right!" Osomatsu triplets added.
"Besides, she's our ace after all!" Choromatsu added cheerfully.
(End song)
Suddenly, a zipper portal appeared in the air, and a monster bursted out. This monster had humanoid shape, but he also had plant-like features around his body. His body had venus fly trap pitchers on torso, thighs, and arms. There were also leaves as his shoulder armors. He wielded a pair of three-pronged clawed gauntlets with their main bodies made of venus fly trap pitcher cups. His head also resembled that of venus fly trap with the tendril as an ahoge of some sort, and his face resembled fly trap's mouth, with no mouth visible and dark eyes.
This monster, Nepenthes Kaijin let out a bestial roar as he began terrorizing everyone at Mitakihara High! The crowds who watched the footage turned to him as they heard this savage roar, and began running for their lives! Madoka and the rest of non-combatant Team Gaim ran away, with the plant monster to go after the pinkette.
Meanwhile at Mitakihara Park, more monsters appeared from several zipper portals in the air, and they began assaulting Riders who was still fighting. While Viscount was about to go to where Fraise was, a kaijin with all-metallic body, constellation mapping, and dragon-like gauntlets, Dragon Zodiarts appeared and smacked him at his face. He tried to fight back with swift slashes and shoots, but the Zodiart's gauntlet protected it from the attacks. He then went all the way to swashbuckle the dragon kaijin, first with swift slashes at its gut, but its armor was too thick to cut, sustaining no damage. The steel-clad Zodiarts then grabbed Viscount at his neck before throwing him aside.
Meanwhile with Gaim and Baron, they had to postpone their supposed duel as they had to face vast number of monsters. And no, they weren't Inves at all. These monsters were entirely different, even to each other, given their different natures. Both rival Riders now had to work together even just this once to wipe them out.
"Tch. We've got a company." Baron muttered annoyed.
"I know!" Gaim responded as she stretched Pine Iron rope. "Let's sort these out!"
First, Gaim twirled her Pine Iron before throwing it to the bulky-bodied kaijin with iron ball on its left arm, and then she pulled it to swing the meteor hammer to other kaijins around it. Baron just swung her mace to the Kaijins, beating them down all the way. Gaim then combined Pine Iron with her katana-gun hybrid weapon, Musou Saber to form some kind of kusarigama, Pine Iron Kusarigama Mode. She threw the spiked end of Pine Iron to kaijins before she swung it to the ones behind her, and then she slashed some of them approaching with the Musou Saber end of kusarigama. When she hacked and slashed the kaijins, she suddenly got… a phone call? When she tried to answer the call, kaijins leaped in to interrupt her, but she swatted them away with ease. She then answered the call.
"Hello! Just what the heck are you wanna tell me?" Gaim began with annoyed tone, as she kicked off a kaijin and slashed another approaching her. Whoever called her didn't know what kind of predicament she was in, it seems. "I'm busy with these monsters here!"
"So you they must be appeared there too." This voice, which was Hitomi's spoke from the other side of phone. "A monster appeared here at school!"
"Say what?!" Gaim gawked shocked as she slashed another kaijin trying to interrupt her conversation.
"Sorry to interrupt you, but-"
"I know! I'm going then!" Gaim closed her phone call as she pulled out a white-and-pink lock like Lockseed, but with some motorcycle parts on it and an image of sakura / cherry blossom on its front. After she unlocked it, the lock grew in size and unfolded to form a motorcycle with sakura theme. Gaim then rode this Lockvehicle bike, Sakura Hurricane after holstering the Musou Saber back, and then she revved up its engine.
"Oi! Do you wanna leave me alone?!" Baron retorted as she smacked the Kaijins trying to harm her. She pulled out similar Lockvehicle, but with black in color and rose image. As she unlocked the bike lock, it turned into a similar motorcycle as Sakura Hurricane, but it had rose on the front, and rose leaf as its front fender.
"Let's go." Baron said as she rode her bike Rose Attacker.
"Okay." Gaim replied. She wanted to go back to school because of her worry about her friends terrorized by that kaijin, especially Madoka. Both Riders drove off their bikes through the kaijins to their school.
Ryugen, Fraise, and Bima were also dealing with kaijins, with Ryugen shooting surrounding kaijins, Fraise with her archery, and Bima using his claws to hack and slash them. Those kaijins' numbers were very much to handle, although there was three Gaim Riders to boot. As Bima slashed some more of the kaijins, something rang somewhere around his suit. He picked up the phone to see the text message from Homura as Gaim.
Kamijou, sorry to leave you guys behind, but Madoka and Hitomi are in danger! I'm going back to school while you guys handle them!
- Akemi Homura, Dec 14 4:32 PM
Bima then continued his hacking and slashing to the kaijin army, and keeping them from approaching Ryugen and Fraise.
"Himeko, Sayaka!" Bima shouted at the girls while keeping the kaijins at bay.
"What's wrong?" Ryugen replied as she fended off a kaijin attack from her and shot it.
"Leave these monsters to me! You go get Akemi and Sakura!"
"But Kyousuke-kun! You can't handle them with number like this!" Fraise responded as she locked down a kaijin's weapons, shoved it off from her and slashed it.
"Don't worry about me!" Bima responded. "Besides, you've got something in your hands, right, Himeko?"
"I know! Use this!" Ryugen answered as she tossed a Lockseed with watermelon design and "LS-10" code at Kamijou. After getting the lock, he proceeded to unlock.
SUIKA!
The gigantic watermelon appeared behind Bima, and then he set the lock onto his belt, cutting it open.
LOCK ON!
HAI~H!
After the Mangosteen Arms vanished, Bima jumped into the watermelon as it opened its stemmed hatch.
SUIKA ARMS! OODAMA BIG BANG!
Upon entering, the watermelon transformed into a humanoid robot with size three times of normal Riders, with watermelon peels for its armor and red booted legs, as well as kabuto helmet with watermelon slice-like head crest and some kind of ornament resembling samurai ponytail. Its fingertips were hollowed, as if they were intended to shoot projectiles. On its both arms, a pair of clawed gauntlets like Mangosteen Arms' Kuku Bimanggis appeared, except that it had watermelon theme and watermelon slices as the claws.
Now Bima had Suika Arms!
With this gigantic armor, Bima could topple the kaijins easily like bugs to be swatted. He first swatted the kaijins with his gigantic claws, and then he delivered a spinning rake before charging his claws with energy watermelon slices, slashing the air to make watermelon slash beams to kaijins all around him, destroying all of them in process.
Back with Madoka, Hitomi, and Osomatsu triplets trying to escape from Nepenthes Kaijin, the latter had some kaijins backing him up, cornering Gaim members. The fly trap kaijin then lifted his arms, threatening Madoka to slash her, which made her screamed in fear. Just when Nepenthes was about to attack Madoka, suddenly something approached him, and he got hit on his back! Madoka snapped out of her panic as she realized who did that to him. Then, Gaim on Sakura Hurricane, Baron and Ryugen on Rose Attackers, and Fraise on HibisCyclone, a hibiscus-themed purple-and-white motorcycle, arrived at school. Gaim now had the strawberry armor, with the strawberry top and stem on her left shoulder, the tip on right shoulder, and strawberry-shaped chest armor; she had become Ichigo Arms. Baron and everyone else returned into their basic Arms. Gaim threw some kunais with strawberry on their middles to the Kaijins, which exploded upon hitting them. Baron then jousted kaijins with her lance as she zoomed with a clash. Ryugen and Fraise assisted both Riders with their ranged weapons to clear the way for Gaim to reach Madoka and the other Gaimers. Gaim then stopped nearby Madoka and the rest of Team Gaim.
"Madoka, you okay?" Gaim asked.
"Yeah, kinda." Madoka answered.
But they had to postpone their conversation as Nepenthes Kaijin leaped in, knocking Gaim off her bike. After Gaim got up on her feet, Nepenthes rushed in, only for the former to pull out Musou Saber with Iaijutsu move, slashing him at his gut. Gaim then continued with swift slashed all around him, but the venus fly trap kaijin blocked them with his claws. The Rider and the monster kept colliding their weapons until Gaim ducked his rake, and countered with rising slash and a kick. Nepenthes swiped his claws to Gaim, which she blocked, and then he sent some clear rakes on her.
Baron drove her bike while slashing some monsters with her lance, while Ryugen and Fraise shot them as they zoomed in forward. Baron sliced her lock once more.
COME ON! BANANA SQUASH!
Baron charged her spear with energy banana, and then she accelerated the bike to have it dashed towards the kaijins, lunging the spear as she did. She then spun in aileron roll, enveloped with energy rose aura and the banana bursted out of the rose's center, drilling through the kaijins, destroying them as she passed through and stopped after. Ryugen and Fraise shot some kaijin while driving their bikes around, until they stopped back-to-back and sliced their respective locks once.
HAI~H! BUDOU~ SQUASH!
SOIYA! PINEBERRY SQUASH!
Both Riders fired their weapons upwards, conjuring rain of arrows from Fraise's arrow, and rain of energy beams and an energy dragon from Ryugen's Budou Ryuhou. All the rain shots hit the kaijins, destroying them in process.
Back with Gaim and Nepenthes Kaijin, she moved the Ichigo Lockseed from her Sengoku Driver into Musou Saber, preparing for finisher.
LOCK ON!
ICHI (1), JYU (10), HYAKU! (100)
Gaim took the battle stance as the katana-gun sidearm charged up, all the yellow bars on the weapon glowed.
ICHIGO CHARGE!
Gaim swung her Musou Saber to conjure a giant kunai like she had thrown earlier, only to divide into hundreds of normal-sized kunais, which would rain Nepenthes. However, the plant-themed kaijin opened his mouth, stretching ridiculously larger to form a large fly trap mouth of some sort, and the kunais went into it, getting swallowed! What's more, this kaijin didn't explode after he ate all those explosive kunais!
"What the-?!" Gaim gawked in disbelief, shocked to see the kaijin actually ate all the kunai bombs.
"Now… to take "Maiden of Fate"..." Nepenthes spoke with creepy, scary monotone. He then opened his mouth, spitting all the kunais he had just eaten to Gaim, sending her flying upon explosion! While Gaim knocked out, he used this chance to take someone whom he referred as "Maiden of Fate". Nepenthes leaped past Gaim, and then he beated Hitomi and Osomatsu triplets aside, and it left only Madoka. He approached the pink-haired female dancer of Gaim, and the latter stepped back in fear. So, his target was revealed to be Madoka all along?
"Madoka!" Gaim shouted angry, struggling to get up on her feet, before the monster get into Madoka. "Don't ever you dare to touch Madoka!"
Gaim then cocked the hammer on Musou Saber, setting it into Gun Mode as the yellow bars glowed, indicating loaded ammunition. As she aimed the gun barrel at Nepenthes, he quickly took Madoka and brought her before him, using her as shield!
"You son of bitch!" Gaim cussed angry when the plant monster used Madoka as human shield.
Nepenthes then used his ahoge to whip Gaim, and he leaped past Gaim to the zipper portal he had come from, bringing Madoka along with him, and thus kidnapping her!
"MADOKA!" Gaim cried aloud as she got back onto her Sakura Hurricane, and drove it zooming into the portal.
"After her!" Baron instructed as she drove her Rose Attacker, entering the portal as well, followed by Ryugen and Fraise. The portal then closed soon after. Seeing Gaim and her fellow Riders (plus Baron) entered the portal to rescue Madoka, Hitomi could only stare at the closing portal with worry, hoping Homura and the others would make it safe.
"Homura, Himeko, Sayaka, Kyouko…" Hitomi sighed worried. "Please be careful…"
Just then, a giant watermelon rolled to the school field, and transformed into Suika Arms humanoid mode. While she knew that Suika Arms originally belonged to Homura, Hitomi could recognize the bodysuit under the armor. He was Bima AKA Kyousuke, her boyfriend.
"Kyousuke-kun?" Hitomi responded upon his arrival.
"Where's Akemi and the others?" Bima asked.
"They… entered that portal." Hitomi answered, nearly whimpering. "That monster… he kidnapped Madoka."
Hearing his girlfriend's explanation, Bima could only sigh, hoping the other Riders could get her back safe…
Pega-Rider: Alright so here's the first part of Gaim's segment. Homura and the gang jump into a dimension. But not just a dimension, and it's totally different from Helheim. C'mon, guess. In the next chapter, the war reaches its extreme! But what happens next? See it for yourself next chapter!
Oh, before I forgot, here's the quizzes!
Quiz 1: Gridon screaming after getting Ryugen's Spinning Hoop via Squash function. Can you guess whom he quoted from? (Hint: Rocket, and Sagara said "video games with monsters")
Quiz 2: "LISTEN AND BE AMAZED!" and "If you don't fight, you won't survive". DJ Sagara said those when airing Beat Riders Hotline. Where those lines come from?
