"This is KSTW news at five. We begin with our breaking news. A group of witnesses in the city say that three individuals in brightly colored suits were spotted fighting against a group of monsters. According to the witnesses, giant fruits appeared in the sky and then exploded. Police say that they are not ruling out anything and for now do not consider the individuals as suspects. There is still no answers as to who the monsters are and where they came from but police say they will try to investigate the matter. In other news, police are also investigating the practices of Pantheon after a breakout of unexplained skin infections. CEO Jack Yeager assured the public that his company was not involved and that they will do all they can to stop the illness-"
"I've had enough of this. Hey Ozzie, did we get any calls?"
"No Rowan, but I can tell you that whoever those guys are, we need to find them."
"I know. Are the Gaia Memories ready?"
"They are. I just hope those guys know who they're dealing with."
"In time they will. Right now we still have to get paid and Dorian is still out of town."
"I'm sure Dorian will come back."
"I hope he does."
The day after meeting Matthew, Cade leaves class and heads out to find Baron. He looks around the city to see where he could be and even checks the garbage disposals to see if he is hiding in any of them. He checks everywhere high and low, even going as far as the city limits to check if he had left. Hours pass and the sun is about to set. He checks his watch and decides to go back to the shop until he is met by a stranger in green and with spikes.
"So, you must be Samurai?" asks the stranger.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Cade responds.
"You can call me Spike. I'm here to get back what is rightfully ours. I want that belt back!"
"I don't know who you are, but you're not getting this belt!"
"Fine, then I'll kill you for it!"
"We'll see. Transform!"
"Orange!"
"Lock On!"
"Orange Arms!"
Samurai and Spike fight each other and use different fruit attacks to try to defeat each other.
"Orange Au Lait!"
Spike counters his attack and suddenly a giant durian appears in the air.
"Durian Final Strike!"
The durian cripples Samurai and he is forced to retreat.
"You're not going anywhere Samurai. I'm going to get that belt back! Now prepare to die!"
"I'm not going to let you win!"
Samurai and Spike use their weapons against each other, but Spike has the upper hand. He counters every attack and delivers his own. Then, Spike jumps up and slashes him several times causing Samurai to fall down.
"It's time to give up child. You're about to lose!"
"Never!"
"Might I cut in?"
Baron appears and attacks Spike. Baron helps Samurai off and says, "You can't start a fight without me, it's rude."
"Thanks for coming Baron."
"No problem. Now let's do this thing!"
"Right!"
"Strawberry!"
"Lock On!"
"Strawberry Arms!"
"Hey Baron, let's do a strawberry-banana attack."
"That's a great idea."
"It might be two against one, but I'll still win."
"We'll see about that!"
"Durian Squash!"
"Straberry Blast!"
"Banana Squash!"
The strawberry-banana attacks prove to be effective and Spike is forced to retreat saying, "I promise I will kill you Samurai! And you Baron! I will kill you too!"
Samurai and Baron power down and decide that they must now meet each other for the first time.
"I know I said that you would know more about me."
"You said that many times."
"Well, I mean it now. Let's go somewhere safe so we can talk to each other and learn more about each other. I want to know more about what kind of fighter you are and reliable you will be against these guys."
"Yeah, but I'm still confused as to who that guy was."
"Me too, but sometimes enemies come in different shapes and sizes."
"So, where do you want to talk?"
"Follow me."
Cade follows the stranger named Luke as the sun sets behind them. At the distance, twins are watching them and they start talking to each other.
"Did you see that rider attacking them?"
"I did. Looks like they will need help after all."
"What now Rowan?"
"Well Ozzie, don't worry. Alright, let's go."
