Okay...so far I got a few reviews, but's more than enough to inspire me to bring in the next chapter, and this time the die has been cast as Taiki is in the middle of a conflict on his world but then gets in to an unexpected situation which will make him feel a sense of deja vu, as someone whisks him away and brought him to "another route".
But before that, Taiki gets to do some "Invess Cleaning" and does a bit of SPORTS activity before he meets someone who would play a part in putting Taiki in a bizarre situation that would begin the actual plot and re-start the "event" that made him recognize the a certain "tournament" that will soon put him in a rather precarious position that would add more to the confusion that he is about to experience.
Well, that's the summary I can tell you right now, but you'll soon see where this would lead to, so here is the first chapter, so read and enjoy!
Kyoto Prefecture...
The scene shows that Taiki,Kudo, Takeru Takaishi, Ryouma Mogami, Ren Tobari, Pierre Alfonso Oren, Jyou Kido and Masaru Daimon arrived at the center of the city, surprised to see that an army of Invess Digimons showed up, and some are already attacking the citizens amid mass chaos and panic enveloping the prefecture and they realized that none of the police are present, seeing that they have either abandoned the city or are being "held" by Yggdrasil Corporation.
Yoko Minato arrived and told them that Ryoma Sengoku has fled the building that that the Kurokage Troopers have also fled in panic, and thus she asks for their aid in protecting the city and the crew nodded in her request.
"Hmph...so the professor abandoned his "duty"..."
"Figures..."
"I knew it...Sengoku only cares about the data and nothing else..."
"Looks like Yggdrasil's jig is up..."
"Looks like moi will have to step in...Kido and Daimon...care to join in and test out the results of your training?"
"You bet!"
"I'm in, Oren-san!"
"Thank you...all of you..."
"What about you? Aren't you going after your precious professor?"
"I realize that you have better hope than him..."
"Then it's settled!"
"Lets go, everyone!"
"And show them that we're better than Yggdrasil!"
"C'est bon!"
With that, Minato, Oren and the Beat Masters stood in front of the approaching Invess Digimons and puts on their devices as they activated their Lock Seeds in preparation to transform themselves into Armored Fighters, and are now ready to take the fight to the streets to protect their city from the invaders.
Triumphant Lock Seed:"KACHIDOKI ARMS! IZA SHUTSUJIN! EI-EI-OH!"
Lemon Energy Lock Seed: "SODA...LEMON ENERGY ARMS! FIGHT POWER! FIGHT POWER! FIGHT-FIGHT-FIGHT-FIGHT FA-FA-FA-FA-FIGHT!"
Walnut Arms: "KURUMI ARMS! MISTER KNUCKLE MAN!"
Durian Lock Seed: "DURIAN ARMS! MISTER DANGEROUS!"
Acorn Lock Seed: "DONGURI ARMS! NEVER GIVE UP!"
Pinecone Lock Seed: "MATSUBUKORRI ARMS! ICHIGEKI IN THE SHADOWS!"
Grape Lock Seed: "BUDOU ARMS! RYU...HOU...HA-HA-HA!"
Peach Energy Lock Seed: "SODA...PEACH ENERGY ARMS!"
With that, the Armored Fighters began fighting off the Invess Digimons and they spread themselves to keep the enemies separated so that they can execute a "dive and conquer" tactic so as to weaken and destroy them quickly, and it slowly worked as the invading forces are slowly being decreased, yet they encountered some problems as there are Invess Digimons that can fly, and Baron threw a Watermelon Lock Seed at his allies and Knuckles caught it, in which Baron gave him some instructions.
"Ren...catch!"
"Huh? This is..."
"You know how to use it?"
"Yeah...I think I do!"
"Use it to decrease the enemies' numbers...then provide aerial assist..."
"I get it!"
"Do it now!"
"You got it!"
Getting the idea, Knuckles removed the Walnut Lock Seed and inserts the Watermelon Lock Seed before pressing the Lock Driver's "cutting edge" and initiated a transformation, changing from Walnut Arms to Watermelon Arms.
Watermelon Lock Seed: "SUIKA ARMS! ODOMA BIG BANG!"
Now inside the huge Watermelon Arms, Knuckles began to roll around and crush some land Invess Digimon and greatly decreases its numbers, but when the flying Digimons began to descend and attack, Knuckles toggled with the Watermelon Arms and assume Flight Mode and began hovering in the sky and deals with the flying invaders, keeping them busy as the others deal with the remaining numbers, using their finishers to finish them off, and succeeded in saving the city for now.
As this is happening, a young man is seen watching the battle and his eyes focused on Taiki, finding him fascinated by how Taiki leads the defenders and saw his cheering outlook as he and the others de-activated their Lock Drivers before leaving the streets, as Taiki decided to see some younger teens as he promised to help them out on something, which Ryouma shook his head at Taiki's rather naive attitude, while Takeru gives the departing Taiki a glare, as if he is at odds with him for a reason.

Several minutes later...
Taiki is seen playing with some kids who are playing baseball, with Taiki being the batter, then the pitcher. He teaches the kids on how to play baseball, and the children slowly get the gist of it amid the reports that several Invess Digimons are seen roaming the streets, and Taiki's physical lectures with the kids lasts for only two hours before sending the kids home so as not to put them in danger, while at the same time spending time with the kids lifted the children's morale as it helped them cope with what is happening.
"Okay...that's all for today...better go home...will met again when things calm down..."
"Sure..."
"Thanks!"
"We look forward in to playing with you again..."
"See you!"
"I want to play baseball again..."
"I want a bat!"
"Se you again, kids!"
After that, with the children going home, Taiki leaves and heads for another place, not noticing that the mysterious youth is watching him, then secretly following him to wherever Taiki is going, finding himself fascinated by Taiki's charisma and aura, seeing that he is not concerned at all about what is happening in the streets.

Later, the scene shows that Taiki is teaching high school girls on how to play volleyball, in which he is teaching them the basics, starting with the very beginning, and there he girls listened attentively on what Taiki is showing them:
Proper Body Positioning
It's important to talk about proper body positioning before we get into talking about defensive skills.
The following is the proper body positioning to be in when the ball is on the other side of the net.
1) Feet shoulder width apart
2) One foot slightly forward
3) Weight on insides of feet
4)Bend forward at the waist, flexing the hip
5) Back remains in a 60 degree position
- Every ball that you dig, you will try to have your back at a 60 degree position.
6) Arms roughly parallel to the quads
- This puts you in a good body position to cover balls that are in front of you. And also ready to move your hands up to cover the area in front of your head
Hands slightly below elbows
Left foot to the right instep, back at a 60 degree angle, hands below elbows, arms parallel to quads, with weight on the insides of the feet. This is a great body position to dig any ball that needs to be dug.
Principles of Contact
The following are principles for getting the ball to where we want it to go.
Torso at 60 degrees
This allows us to be at the optimal angle to perform our defensive skills (which evervolleyball skill we decide to use). No matter how low the ball goes, we want to be able to maintain our torso at a 60 degree angle. Unless of course if the ball is slightly off the floor and we have to revert to using an emergency skill to make the play. Core behind the ball
Core is where the midline of your body and below your belly button intersect. This is the center of gravity and we always want the center of gravity directly behind the ball as we play it.
(When you make contact, you always want the center of gravity behind the ball. This is key for executing defensive volleyball skills and techniques.)
Hips around and under the ball
Getting the hips around the ball helps stabilize your core and gets your core behind the ball. Also gets your core facing the target. Getting your hips under the ball allows you to get in a position where your center of gravity is below the contact point of the ball thus shooting the ball up into the air and hanging it for the setter to come in and set it.
Core facing target
Many bad misses come because the core is facing in another direction than the target. Hips and core needs to get around and face the target each time you pass.
Contact Phase of Playing Defense
Get behind the ball and step forward to the target. (You must get your hips around and below the ball. This is key for executing volleyball skills and techniques for defense.) Hips need to get below the ball to pop the ball up to the setter.
After that Taiki begins giving the girls some physical lessons and things went well enough until some Invess Digimons show up and threatens to disrupt the lessons, so Taiki told the girls to continue their volleyball lessons as he transforms into Armored Fighter Gaim using the Pine Lock Seed to assume Pine Arms and began taking out the Digimons until they are defeated, and then resumed the lessons until he thought them all about the basics.
The girls thanked Taiki and they all left for home and the teen decided to head to one last destination before retiring for the day, and leaves, not noticing the mysterious youth watching and following him around.
-x-
An hour later...
Taiki is with another group of children, and this time he is teaching them about soccer, and several children are given lessons on how to apply the lectures in a physical test, as well as the important factors in players assuming positions and who are assigned to when in a soccer game, and among those that Taiki thought the kids on the importance of soccer are:
The Goalkeeper
The goalkeeper is the only player allowed to use his hands and that can only occur within the confines of the penalty area. There are never more that two goalkeepers on the field at any time — one on each team.
The goalkeeper's uniform is different from the rest of his team's to make it obvious which player may use his hands. The jersey, often with long sleeves, is colored to clash with the others. And since the 1970s, goalkeepers have worn gloves to both protect their hands and enhance their grip on the ball.
Some of the best goalkeepers in the world are Gianluigi Buffon of Italy and Iker Casillas of Spain.
The Defenders
A defender's primary duty is to win back the ball from the opposition and prevent them from scoring. Teams play with anywhere from three to five at the back and each member of the defense tends to have a different, yet equally important duty.
The defenders stationed in the center of the back line (known as central defenders or center backs) tend to be some of the taller and stronger members of the team since they so frequently have to win the ball in the air. They go forward very little, except on set pieces, and hold a position of great responsibility.
The defenders on the flanks (known as wingbacks in five-player defenses, or fullbacks) are usually smaller, quicker, and better on the ball. Their job is to shut down attacks coming down the sides, but they are also frequently a key component of their side's offense.
Pushing up the sidelines, they are able to support the midfielders and push deep into opposition territory to deliver crosses.
Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand, Chelsea's John Terry and Real Madrid's Fabio Cannavaro are some of the world's finest defenders.
The Midfielders
The midfield is one of the most demanding places to play on the soccer pitch. Midfielders are usually the fittest members of a team, since they do the most running. They share the responsibilities of the defenders and the forwards since they must both win the ball back and create opportunities up front.
The various midfielders' roles depend heavily on a team's particular system. Those on the flank may be asked to primarily deliver crosses or cut into the middle with different degrees of defensive accountability. Those in the center, meanwhile, may be asked to mainly hold the ball and win it back (such as a "holding midfielder" or an "anchor") or venture forward and feed balls to the attackers. The best midfielders are versatile enough to offer a team both.
In a full game, teams play with anywhere from three to five midfielders, arranging them in different shapes. Some will have the five line up straight across the field, while others will have the middle two or three set up one behind the other in what is known as a "diamond" formation.
The Forwards
The forwards may have the most straightforward job description on the field: score goals. Forwards (also known as attackers or strikers) come in all shapes and sizes and, accordingly, present different threats. A taller striker could be more dangerous in the air, while a smaller, quicker player may be more effective with the ball at his feet.
Teams play with anywhere from one to three strikers (sometimes four if times get desperate) and try to blend different styles. The objective is for the forwards to have a good understanding of each other's game to better set up opportunities for each other.
Frequently, one forward will play a little deeper than the other to collect the ball sooner and open up a defense. Those players, who tend to be the most creative on the team, are traditionally called a "Number 10," in reference to the jersey number they usually wear.
Hybrid Positions
There are two positions that sometimes crop up in soccer which are never played by more than one person at a time. They are sweeper and "libero," which is sometimes called a "midfield sweeper."
A regular sweeper plays just behind the central defenders and acts as a last line with a lot of freedom to cover where danger presents itself. A midfield sweeper usually plays just in front of the defense and helps to slow down opposing attacks by acting as one extra barrier.
After telling them the basics, Taiki had the kids put in place in two groups, and each of the two groups - five players and one goalkeeper - are ready as Taiki began teaching them how to kick and how to apply a bit of power in kicking the ball towards its goal while teaching the defender on how to defend the enemy's goal, and soon the kids began to have fun, and Taiki is glad to help the kids in alleviating the fear of the Invess that are roaming the streets, not noticing that Takeru is watching, and is glaring at Taiki for he is getting fed up with his estranged friend.
"Taiki...you idiot...you make me sick! I'll get rid of you when I get the chance!"
-x-
A few days later...
Taiki and his allies eventually discovered Takeru's treachery and that he is Yamato Takaishi's younger brother, and through Yamato they learned of Takeru's familial heritage and that Ryoma Sengoku being the true enemy in using Yggdrasil Corporation's resources just to get the Overlord Digimons in its custody to find the so-called "forbidden fruit", and now Yamato is intending to work with Taiki and the others in order to re-claim Yggdrasil and chase the invaders out of the building and save Kyoto.
However, Yamato felt guilty over the fact that his actions drove Takeru to the brink of apathy and near insanity, thus he sends him a message where they will settle their differences one and for all. At a wharf, Yamato and Takeru are facing off, both wearing the Lock Driver and Genesis Driver, and exchanged words in an attempt to dissuade the other, with no success, and both transformed into Zangetsu and Zangetsu-Shin respectively and began battling against one another with pure intensity.
"Takeru..."
"Nii-san...you still persist?"
"Yes...I will stop you..."
"You won't...I'm fed up being your shadow..."
"Takeru...you could have done better if you..."
"Let's finish this, nii-san...I'm really fed up seeing your face..."
"Then you leave me no choice..."
"Bastard..."
Several minutes later, Taiki arrived and sees that the area is deserted, and he only sees the remains of the Lock Driver and a broken Melon Lock Seed, in which Taiki clenched his fist seeing that he was too late in stopping the brothers from fighting, and he decided to go look around to see if Yamato is still alive, but then the mysterious youth shows up, having following Taiki and began approaching him to asks a few questions, even though Taiki appeared to be in a hurry to find Yamato.
"Excuse me..."
"Yes?"
"I happened to be following you...you were teaching those kids with some ball-related games..."
"Oh that...well...sports activities...just to boost their morale...surely you're aware of what's going on right now..."
"Can you tel me what are those sports you were demonstrating...?"
"...it's this...and that..."
"I see..."
"Well...got to go...a friend needs my help and..."
"You...really dislike conflict and violence...?"
"Yeah...it would only cause more suffering..."
"And you wish this wouldn't happen?"
"Uh-huh...but...what's done is done...and I'll move forward and see what I can do...got to go...you should go too...it's not safe right now...see you!"
After telling him about the sports that the thought to the children, the youngster asks why he is still worried about something, and there he is told that lives are at stake and wished that there has to be another way to end this without bloodshed, and told the youngster to go and seek shelter as the streets are still dangerous, and leaves, and the youngster watched on as if he is unperturbed by what Taiki told him.
As Taiki is running the streets while looking at the shoreline, he felt a "strong wave" and then looked around, seeing that nothing happened, and as he takes a turn, he is taken by surprise as the scene before him shows that Kyoto is once again a busy street with lots of people doing their everyday life, and not a single Invess Digimon is present and there were no damages to properties that Taiki saw in the recent days, and this caused him to wonder if he is hallucinating or not.
"What the...? Am I seeing things...?"

Hope you liked this chapter, which mirrors the events of the Kamen Rider Gaim episodes 36 and 37, as well as Gaim's summer movie, though this fic acts as an alternate continuation of my current Fate Stay Night x Kamen Rider Gaim fic, though I guess it would act as a spoiler since my current fic is till ongoing.
While this scene shows some of the movie's elements, such as soccer themes, I also included other ball-related sports as they will play an important role in the next chapters, while the mysterious youngster, who would eventually become Armored Fighter Kamuro, shows up and asks a lot of questions pertaining the sports he saw, and he may have played a hand in what is going on near the end of this chapter.
Preview:
The next chapter will show that Taiki is going to have one heck of a ride as he finds out that the current situation he is in has mysteriously changed...and that the people he know, and met, are acting...out of character, while at the same time finds himself thrust back to the Holy Grail War, only this time in a different scenario.
