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".

Here he finds himself in a middle of something that he never expected, and that's where the "Unlimited Route" comes in.

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!

Ch. 3: Totsuzen no sakkā taikai: Chīmu Baron tai chīmu Gaimu

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...?"

Taiki is puzzled as he is sure that with Yggdrasil have been overtaken by Invess Digimons, as well as the streets of Kyoto, yet the scene in front of him shows that the prefecture is seemingly back to normal as its daily life is full of lively citizens doing their daily lives and there were no traces of damage or Digimons...only people and vehicles. He rubbed his eyes as he thinks he is hallucinating, but then he is still unsure until...

BEEP! BEEP!

"WHOA!"

Taiki is startled as a loud bullhorn rang and he finds himself in the middle of the intersection with a car honking its horn and the driver shouted at Taiki to get out of the way and the teen did so, apologizing and then resumed looking around, and for some reason he felt that there seems to be something amiss going on and he is considering doing some research and decided to head to the "hangout" and asks his friends if they are okay and to find out what just happened.

-x-

At the "hangout", Taiki finds the place empty as there is no one around and yet the place is tidied and the things are still there, as if there is someone living here, and yet the teen wondered what just happened as he needed to figure out what is going on here, and to know if the Invess Digimon invasion has ended without him knowing. He then decided to go out and as he is in the streets, an unexpected scene surprised him.

"What the...?"

Taiki saw the Yggdrasil Tower, and it appeared to be as it was before: back to normal; no leaves, or any signs of Invess Digimons invading, and though he sees this as a good sign, he couldn't shake the feeling that this doesn't sound right as he is sure that Yggdrasil Tower was ruined and abandoned, and that Yamato Takaishi disappeared after being defeated by Takeru, so how is this possible that the tower appeared to be unscathed after an Overlord Digimon came to Kyoto. Taiki had to find his friends to get some answers.

By then a newspaper boy came across him carrying a newspaper and is announcing the sports headlines, and upon hearing it, Taiki is surprised to the max! Even other citizens are attracted and began buying the newspaper.

"EXTRA! EXTRA! TEAM GAIM VS. TEAM BARON FOR THE SOCCER CUP!"

"Hey! I want one!"

"Me too!"

"My favorite sports news!"

"Give me two!"

"Here's my Yen!"

"Give me!"

"Yeah!"

Taiki blinked his eyes upon hearing the news about Team Gaim and Team Baron are engaged in a soccer match, and after buying and reading the newspaper, he heads out for Kyoto Stadium to see for himself about this so-called match, seeing this as some sort of sports-version of the Inves Games.

He even wondered if this involves using Invess Digimons as part of the game yet he is unsure what to think of this considering the predicament he is in.

-x-

At Kyoto Stadium, several minutes later, Taiki arrived and managed to get to the front row of the audience stage and there he saw the scene that the newspapers described, in which Team Gaim is battling Team Baron in a soccer match which was as exciting as the Invess Games, as some of the players consists of the Beat Masters and the Invess Digimons, and the teen stared wide-eyed at the scene he just saw. Definitely something is not right here, as the crowd beside him were cheering for both teams.

"TEAM GAIM!"

"TEAM BARON!"

"WIN THE SOCCER CUP!"

"GO GAIM, GO!"

"BEAT THOSE BARON BULLSHIT!"

"GRIND THOSE GAIM GEEKS!"

"GIVE US A GOOD SOCCER MATCH!"

"YEAH!"

As the minutes went on, the competition was tight, yet Team Baron scored two goals and Team Gaim with 0, and the latter team is starting to panic as they can't afford to lose this match, until one of them saw Taiki among the crowd and approached the confused teen and pulled him towards the team and even gave him a soccer uniform to wear, stating that his help is needed in order for Team Gaim to gain a comeback.

"Taiki! Thank goodness!"

"Eh?"

"Your teammates need your help!"

"What...wait! Why is..."

"Later! Put this on!"

"But I'm not good at soccer!"

"Just kick the ball and you'll be good!"

"But..."

Although bewildered, Taiki decided to go with the flow for now and puts on the soccer uniform and joins Team Gaim as the battle against Team Baron is about to reach the critical stage, and as the game is underway, Taiki managed to get past the defenses and was able to find an opening and kicked the ball towards the goal, and was able to get a score, which the fans roared with approval as the score now is 2 against 1, and as Team Gaim's spirit was raised, Team Baron were glancing at Taiki, and Ryouma Mogami is seen talking to Ren Tobari, as they are discussing last-minute strategy.

"...that's the plan!"

"Okay!"

"Look...another Gaim player..."

"Forget him..."

"But..."

"Focus on winning..."

"Okay..."

"Good..."

With that, the game resumes and as the minutes went on, the audience roared in excitement, and Taiki became alarmed as Ren puts on his Lock Driver around his waist and activated the Walnut Lock Seed to initiate his transformation amid the ecstatic reaction from the crowd and from the Team Gaim players as Ren is now transformed into Armored Fighter Knuckle, and the Team Baron players are seen cheering at their armored teammate ready for action.

Walnut Lock Seed: "KURUMI ARMS...MISTER KNUCKLE MAN!"

As Knuckles, Ren is now guarding the goal post of Team Gaim and as the Team Gaim players managed to get an opening and kicks the ball, Knuckles caught the ball and threw it back, and the Team Baron players took possession of the ball, and there Taiki asks Kenta what is going on and there he is told that it is legal, and seeing that his team needs to score, as he is seemingly got too focused on the game instead of asking what is REALLY going on, Taiki brought out his Lock Driver and brought out the Pineapple Lock Seed much to Team Gaim's surprise as he initiated his transformation.

Pineapple Lock Seed: "PINE ARMS...FUNSAI DESTROY!"

Now transformed as Armored Fighter Gaim in Pine Arms, Taiki takes the lead and when his team takes possession of the ball, and when he has the ball, Gaim threw it upwards before pressing the the Lock Driver's "cutting blade", where he activated the "Pine Squash", and as the ball descended, Gaim jumped and did a roundhouse kick which "energizes" the soccer ball and sent towards the goal, and to everyone's surprise, Knuckles tried, and failed, to stop the ball and it went towards the goal, scoring a point for Team Gaim and the score is tied to 2-2. That scene caused more excitement coming from the crowd.

"WOW!"

"BEST GAME EVER!"

"GO GAIM!"

"COME ON, BARON!"

"BEAT THOSE BARON BULLSHIT!"

"GRIND THOSE GAIM GEEKS!"

"GIVE US A GOOD SHOW!"

"GO-GO-GO!"

Ryouma was surprised as he did not expects something like this to happen and he immediately brought out his Lock Driver, placed it around his waist and brought out his Lock Seed, activating it and then inserting it on his Lock Driver to initiate his transformation, much to the surprise, and the pleasure, from the crowd, while Team Baron players are cheering in approval as they expect that they are going to win in the final few minutes.

Banana Lock Seed: "BANANA ARMS...KNIGHT OF SPEAR!"

Transforming into Armored Fighter Baron, Ryouma took the lead and kicks the ball towards their goal post, with Gaim rallying his teammates as they defend their stand, and the defense became tight as the soccer ball went back and forth with neither team making any scores, and as the minutes went on, both sides realized that they need to make a goal or else risking elimination, and Gaim thought quickly as he switched Lock Seeds, changing from Pine Arms to Orange Arms, and as he has possession of the ball, he kicked the ball upwards before activating the "Sparking" function, and there he used a headbutt to send the ball careening towards the goal and succeeded, scoring a 3 against 2, and as the time expired, the winning team has been announced.

"SCORE OF 3 AGAINST TWO! TEAM GAIM WINS!"

As the two team players began to assemble in the middle of the court to offer handshake gestures, Ryouma shook Taiki' hand in a sportsmanship-like manner, surprising Taiki as he know that Ryouma is not the kind of person when defeated, and yet he looked around and noticed that everything else is normal with no Invess Digimons at sight or any physical and mental effects. He then decided to bid his time and wait for the moment to ask what is happening here and why the city is back to normal while 30 minutes ago it was supposed to be overrun by Digimons.

-x-

The scene shifts in Tokyo where several individuals happened to watch the soccer match, and some of them were amused to see Armored Fighters playing soccer, though one of the viewers wished that this is something a Holy Grail War would be modeled after and not risk his/her life over something so overly trivial. That someone is Ayaka Sajyou, who is watching TV at hr home and happened to watch the soccer match between Gaim and Baron, and she wished that this is something the Holy Grail War should take place instead of sacrificing people over something she deemed horrible.

"I wish I had a life like that..."

At another place, a girl about Ayaka's age, is also watching TV, and is rather amused at what she saw, yet she wondered if the Holy Grail War would include such as Armored Fighters, and that very thought intrigued her. She is Misaya Reiroukan, and she is checking her calendar, and learned that in a matter of several hours, the "moment" is about to commence and glances at a dart board where Ayaka's picture is taped.

"You're next, bitch..."

With a flick of her hand, a dart was thrown, and it struck the picture where the dart's needle hits at the picture where Ayaka's face is shown, indicating that she is Misaya's target.

Hope you liked this chapter, which mirrors the events of the Kamen Rider 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, the main plot of this fic will slowly be shown, as Fate/Protoype's Ayaka Sajyou and Misaya Reiroukan are shown, in the end of this chapter, thus signaling that the ALTERNATE Holy Grail War is about to start.

Preview:

The next chapter will show that Taiki is trying to figure out what happened to his surroundings and why there were no Digimons around, while at the same time finds himself thrust back to the Holy Grail War, only this time in a different scenario.
