Previously on Kamen Rider Gaim Magica...
As the Riders' allegiances shift like a Modern Sengoku Period, Homura is left shocked as a charismatic patissier, Sanji Alfonso transformed into the durian Kamen Rider, Bravo. After mercilessly defeating Kurokage and Gridon, Kamijou Kyousuke transformed into mangosteen Kamen Rider before him!
"Qu'est-ce?" Bravo gawked "What?" in French, surprised upon Kamijou's transformation into Kamen Rider Bima.
"Ikuzo!" Bima yelled in response.
Everyone in the crowd cheered with excitement in response of Kamijou's transformation, and his declaration to challenge Bravo. Right there, right now! Mitakihara High students on the other hand, watched with various impressions. Madoka watched with excitement eager to see Kamijou in action, Sayaka watched in confusion as she couldn't decide which side she should cheer on between her friend and her role model, and Homura watched with anxiety and worry, now that their classmate fought against possibly most dangerous Kamen Rider ever known.
"Do you think you can defeat moi?" Bravo inquired as he pointed his Durinoko at Bima. He was pretty sure he qould win, wasn't he?
"Bring it on!" Bima yelled in response as he charged towards Bravo.
"OUVERTURE~!" Bravo began the fight with French of "Let us begin!".
Bima sent several rakes blocked by Bravo's swords. Both Riders then started colliding their weapons for each blows, blocking each other's attacks. Sanji was a combat professional due to his experience as soldier, but Kamijou was no slouch in the fight himself. They both fought evenly matched somehow.
"Sugoi..." Madoka gasped as she saw Kamijou's personality turned 180 degrees during battle. She never seen him this serious before.
"Go get him, Kamijou! Kick his ass!" Homura cheered for Kamijou to her hate of Sanji after her bad experience with that guy's weird interview. She got unfairly rejected just because she was a Sagittarius. He must get what he deserved: a kick on his butt.
Seeing Kamijou was all out in battle, Sayaka became more confused. She didn't want one of them defeated, as they were all important to her. Sanji with his inspiring prestige as patissier, and her friendship with Kamijou.
Bravo kicked Bima off his feet, but the Ghatotkacha-motif Rider quickly retaliated with a roll, and then he rushed to the durian Rider and sent some rakes on Bravo which he blocked with his spiked swords. Bravo then swung his swords rapidly with Bima avoided most his strikes, and then Bravo landed a clear slash on Bima's chest. Bima regained his stance and sent some more rakes to Bravo, only to be blocked again, but he kicked Bravo by his feet with a sweeping kick, sending him falling off his feet. Bravo rolled back, and then Bima leaped in to rake the gladiator-themed Rider a couple of times before sending a somersault to send him tumbling.
"Ara! Looks like I know you somewhere..." Bravo realized who Kamijou was as he got up on his feet. Considering his fame as violinist... "You must be a newcomer violinist, Monsieur Kamijou Kyousuke?"
"So what if I am?" Bima retorted.
"I've seen you in a recital! Your music is so~ beautiful! Magnifique!" Bravo beamed, praising Bima with French of "Magnificent". "But why? Why you're protecting those amateurs?"
"Because I'm amateur myself!" Bima answered as he sliced his lock once. While he was famed for his career as new violinist, he still considered himself as amateur, both in his career and the battle. He just started his battle as a Kamen Rider now, and he just started his career as violinist a year ago. He need to learn much more.
MANGOSTEEN SQUASH!
"Done already?" Bravo provoked as he sliced his lock once more.
DURIAN SQUASH!
The mohawk on Bravo's head emitted energy beams, while the Sanskrit runes on Bima's claws glowed, charging up. As Bima jumped and spinned to skewer Bravo with his claws, the latter moved his head so the energy beams from the mohawk could swat him away. As both attacks clashed against each other, the explosion occurred, surprising the crowds to the point they gasped. Sayaka was the most surprised, anxious to see who won this battle.
After the smoke from the explosion subsided, Sanji and Kamijou laid on the ground, reverted from their transformation. Both of them had some bruises and dirt stained their faces. Kamijou groaned in pain, while Sanji coughed. The battle seemed to be ended in tie.
"Kamijou!/Kamijou-kun!" Homura and Madoka shouted as they saw Kamijou's condition, quickly running to him and carrying him by his arms.
Hideyoshi got up, and then he quickly retrieved his Sengoku Driver and ran off to follow Nobita. Sanji stood up, ignoring the pain he had sustained and faced the cheering crowds with a proud smile.
"Merci." He said repeatedly as he walked to them. He then gave them a salute, and then...
"Hey, you!" Homura called out. "What are you trying to pull?!"
Sanji lifted his head from the salute, responding at Homura, annoyed. "Pardon?"
"What's so fun about messing with and made a fool out of two Riders for no reason, when you know you've already won?!" She responded.
"Such is the cruel world of professional entertainment, my darling." Sanji answered. "Battling is simply an art, and those two are a disgrace to it. Especially an Armored Rider who donned an acorn."
"Armored Rider? You mean Kamen Rider?" Madoka asked.
"True, but mask and suits are not all we have. We also have armors. So moi think the Armored Rider term is more accurate. Right, darlings?" Sanji replied, which the crowd replied with a nod and a yes shout. "Besides, the viewers want blood, and this is the players' duty to provide! It's a whole other world from your little amateur playfights!" He finished with a laugh, mocking the rejected applicant for side job in his place.
"You're nuts!" Homura snapped before storming off while carrying Kamijou as well, followed by Sayaka, leaving a shrugging Sanji to simply laugh with the rest of the crowd who enjoyed the fight.

Lock 7: Wrecking Ball Watermelon, Big Bang!
"Hello~ Mitakihara City!" DJ Sagara began the show, Beat Riders Hotline. Excited as usual. "We've got another steaming hot piece of news fresh off the streets! There's new two Riders in the town, and we're gonna call the first Bravo, and the second Bima! These two are strangers to the world of street dancing as we all know, but as combatants, they are real deal!" He continued as the footage of Bima VS Bravo played.
"In fact, they developed some kind of rivalry as they fought each other to stand still!" DJ Sagara continued as the footage of Bravo VS Kurokage and Gridon played later. "Bravo made his explosive entrance by cracking Raid Wild and Invitto. He's crushed all the way through four other teams since then! And he collected a whole bowl of Lockseeds in the process! As for Bima, we knew him as an aspiring violinist, and he seemed to stay out of battles unless needed. He seemed to have a special relation ship with one of Team Gaim members!"
"Okay! We're bringing you an exclusive video message from the man himself, Bravo! Everyone, Check it out!" DJ Sagara finished as the video changed to show Bravo in Sanji's elegant apartment, holding a glass of wine and having literal bowl of Lockseeds before him, like DJ Sagara announced. He was ready to greet everyone in Mitakihara City, announcing his official statement for joining Inves Game.
-How did you like my show?- Bravo began as the people who watched him asked if he was the real Kamen Rider (Or Armored Rider as he claimed) Bravo. –I trust a display of true fighting passion was to your taste? I hope you've seen just how much a professional outclasses amateurs. If you stop giving these Beat Riders the oxygen of attention, they'll soon fade away like they deserve. So I ask you, my darling people, to keep your eyes on me. I'll show you what a pro can do."
At Drupers where the footage played on TV, Homura and Madoka watched with irritated growl, while Sayaka cooed at him like a stalker crazy in love.
"Duh! Honestly, what's that creep up to?!" Homura asked, growled in annoyance.
"Here you go." Bandou said as he walked to the table where Madoka and the gang were, bringing the juices and fruity shakes, while hearing what Homura growled about.
"Awesome!" Sayaka beamed as she took the fruity shake with strawberry-creamed wafer, cherry, and apple slices, while Madoka took the strawberry juice.
"He's the patissier from Le Charlotte, right?" Bandou inquired.
"Having the skills to make such wonderful cakes must make him dangerous in a fight!" Sayaka beamed as she took a cherry from the shake, wondering if Sanji was this wonderful to her, much to Homura, Madoka, and Bandou's chagrin. After his debut as Kamen Rider Bravo, Sayaka adored him more to the lovestruck point, but she should know that he was dangerous to Beat Riders, even to Sayaka herself. Love made one blind, right?
"Oi, Sayaka. You do realize he's a threat to every single Beat Rider, right?" Homura responded.
"Huh?" Sayaka gawked dumbfounded. "Oh, right. But why he's doing this?" She then drank her fruity shakes.
"Yeah, what we did ever do to piss off some famous cake guy?" Madoka pondered aloud. "It doesn't make any sense."
"Hmm... maybe it bugs him to see you guys just having fun." Bandou figured.
"What?" Madoka and Homura asked.
"Well, he trained for ages and won a ton of contests, all so he could make cakes for people to enjoy, right?" He continued as he walked around the girls. "But nowadays, anyone can be an artist just by uploading a video. Used to be, an artist couldn't get anywhere without a teacher's blessing."
"But you know that's ancient history, right?" Madoka pointed out. "What an old-minded guy."
Someone in Baron uniform just sipped a tea and placed the cup on the plate aloud. She turned out to be... Kyouko?
"Pathetic." She scoffed as she got up from the seat where she was, loud enough for the other girls to hear. The Baron leader then walked out of the room. The same room as Sid's regular table was. While Kyouko looked eager to see this Bravo guy personally, she was a bit anxious after he declared a war against Beat Riders. "I bet this Bravo dude would love to see you three get kicked all around at your asses."
"Kyouko! You're not saying he's right, are you?" Homura retorted. She got a bit offended that Kyouko nodded upon Bravo's proclamation, although the latter thought otherwise.
"It doesn't matter if he's right or not." Kyouko replied. "He's backing it up with his power. You can only argue with the strong by being even stronger."
"I'm going on break!" The waitress exited the cashier table as she saw Kyouko walked in to pay the purchases for some reason.
"You always pick the perfect time to leave, don't you?!" Bandou growled irked as he rushed into behind the cashier table, receiving Kyouko's payment before putting the money into cashier machine.
"If you feel butthurted to what he says, kick his ass and shut him up." Kyouko said as she took the changes, getting stares from Homura and Madoka, and a glare from Sayaka, slightly butthurted from her insults to her idol. "But... Do you have mettle to do that, Akemi, Sayaka?"
"That's not going to solve anything, really." Homura scoffed.
"Alfonso-sama~" Sayaka cooed, ignoring the conversation. With the fangirl vibe getting into her, ignorance is bliss.
"We received a challenge from this Bravo dude this morning." Kyouko informed as she turned away, about to leave Drupers.
"What?" Madoka asked. Homura saw Sayaka cooing over Sanji, poking her to snap her out of the lovestruck.
"Ain't that a relief, Akemi?" Kyouko said as she walked to the exit before turning to Homura. "You can just sit on the sidelines and watch. I'll shut the fuck him up for you." She then left Drupers, leaving Homura who glared irritated, while Sayaka was still cooing, going gaga on Sanji.
"Kyouko... she's still acting tough after the shit she've had..." Homura pondered aloud.
Meanwhile, at Sanji's apartment, the owner of house reverted to normal after turning off the cameras for recording his live video for Beat Riders Hotline. As the film crew prepared to leave, he held a glass of wine in his hands.
"Hopefully this can put the amateurs on their place. C'est bon." Sanji said as he was about to sip the wine, when suddenly...
"Be warned." A voice said.
Sanji turned around to see the source of voice, the girl in white the Riders had met during their first fight standing on the balcony.
"Hey! This is private property! You know trespassing is not good?!" Sanji snapped, pointing at the girl.
"You're grasping the reins of fate." "Madoka" continued. This made Sanji looked at her, confused. He realized something was off to her...
"Pardon?" Sanji asked confused.
"Continue down this path... And there shall be no turning back. You will have to fight until the bitter end, till the world is dyed in your image." "Madoka" said cryptically.
"Seriously, what are you talking about?" Sanji asked shrugging. "Do you come just to give me that preach about fate of yours, or what?"
"You maybe a warrior, but the course of fate will be tested if you continue to fight..." She started. "Your thirst of battle will never be quenched until you either die in combat or there are no other people for you to fight."
Hearing "Madoka"'s cryptic warning, Sanji just laughed. He would like if he fight. But he wouldn't be so heartless to kill all Riders, he only wanted to fight to show the entertainment value of it. The artistic battle.
"Going like that, I'll love it! But don't get me wrong. It's not like I wanna kill them, but rather to show them how cruel a fight can be. Those green kids these days tend to danger themselves to jump right away into the fight without experience of combat. Besides, fight has been a form of entertainment, you know?" He answered as he turned away, pulling out his Durian Lockseed.
"Madoka" just sighed with sad look upon hearing Sanji's answer. Why would everyone who became Riders didn't heed her warning?
As Sanji turned back, he noticed that the girl wasn't on the place anymore. She disappeared. Whatever the girl said made him bewildered, but it didn't stop him from giving people best entertainment in form of fight.
At Yggdrasil Tower, Chikane, Sid, and a bespectacled green-haired female with white apron over blue maid uniform were in a meeting room, and Sid had the file of Sengoku Driver wearers' biodata, about to review them. While Sid and Chikane sat on the meeting table, the maid just stood by her side.
"Takamura Sanji." Sid began reviewing Sanji's profile. In his file was a photo of him in Le Charlotte and a portrait of him wearing military uniform complete with green beret. "Emigrated to France fifteen years ago to study baking art at Le Cordon Bleu International, Paris. Graduated after three years of study, Sanji fought in Africa and the Middle East as part of the Parachute Regiment in pursuit of citizenship. He also went undercover during investigation of terrorist operation in Syria. After his services, changed his name to Sanji Alfonso, gained his title of master patissier and married to Namine Le Blanc, having two children. However, after his divorce due to a sexual scandal with a French celebrity, Sanji returned to Japan last year and started a bakery shop Le Charlotte."
"And that's it." Sid finished as he placed the file on the table.
"So, he's an élite soldier with real combat experience." Chikane noted as she took the file. "How did a such dangerous individual get his hands on one of Sengoku Drivers?"
She then saw the maid standing, and she though how bad she was if she didn't let her rest her legs for a while. "Otoha, sit down."
"Hai, Miya-sama." The maid, Otoha Kisaragi nodded, sitting to her mistress' side.
"Honestly, I couldn't tell." Sid answered, getting an annoyed stare from Chikane. "I can guarantee who I gave the Driver to, but that doesn't mean they'll be owners. They could always give it to someone else and let them initialize it, just like Test Subject 01 and 02's case." He referred to Gaim, AKA Akemi Homura and Mariachi.
"How do you intend to fix this, Sid?" Chikane asked.
"Now, now. Hold on." A voice spoke from the speaker as the monitor shifted to show... DJ Sagara?! This took the three's attention, as he talked mostly to Chikane who began losing her cool. "You can never predict everything that could go wrong... Overseer Himemiya. I mean, you did lose that valuable Suika Lockseed somewhere, didn't you?"
Hearing DJ Sagara, Chikane could only sigh after she realized that she lost the Suika Lockseed which she had sworn she already put it into her briefcase. She could only wonder where it was, and who dared to do it. This "who", unknown to Chikane, was Himeko, her sister of all people.
"And yet, you're always so eager to discipline your subordinates for their mistakes..." DJ Sagara continued as Chikane turned to Sid, mentally questioning about the loss of her Suika Lockseed, which he replied with a shrug and shady grin.
"Even so, letting a trained soldier to use Sengoku Driver is too dangerous! We must recover it at once!" Chikane snapped as she got up from her seat, enraged.
"Really? I think we should extend our hand to him. It'll be great boost for my program, too." DJ Sagara replied rather calmly, as if he ignored Chikane's assertive order.
"SHUT UP!" Chikane roared as she pointed at the monitor, at DJ Sagara's face. "The purpose of your little show is mere propaganda, nothing more! Know your place!" Chikane's tirade made him surprised, almost gawking in defense.
"Miya-sama, please calm down!" Otoha said as she stood up, holding her mistress' shoulder. Both she and Chikane then sat down back, and the R&D Management Project Overseer tried to calm herself down, after all the stuffs regarding Sanji being Kamen Rider Bravo and her disobedient subordinates pissing her off.
"But Professor Ryouma likes him having it." Sid pointed out as he messed with his "S" Lock. "He says he's getting unprecedentedly useful data..."
"Indeed." Another new voice spoke from PA system, which getting everyone's attention, including DJ Sagara as well.
Somewhere in Yggdrasil Tower, there was a lab with tubes of cultured premature Lockseeds all around, as well as some laboratory equipment. On a work desk was a blueprint for Sengoku Driver and some Lockseed samples. Behind the work desk was a man in his mid-twenties, in green shirt and black long pants under white lab coat. He had ponytailed long black hair, with the long bangs had white streak, almost covering his left eye. He was the person Sid referred to, Prof. Dr. Sengoku Ryouma.
"It is an unusual case, but within the bounds of the project as a whole." Ryouma said as he took an Ichigo Lockseed from the samples. He seemed excited with this little "project" of his. With the blueprints and Lockseeds, it seemed that he was the creator of Sengoku Drivers, and the fact that they were named from his surname. "Why don't we let him go a bit longer? Chikane-chan."
Chikane sighed, slightly annoyed when the professor referred her with such petty nickname, as if both of them had known each other for a while. She then got up along with her maid, followed by Sid. "Alright. Just keep an eye on the streets. Contact me immediately if anything happens." Chikane said as she and Otoha took their leave.
"Hai, hai." DJ Sagara replied as he turned off the comm-link.
"Yessir." Sid replied. "Anyways, Professor Ryouma, when will you finish that "new model" of yours?"
"Soon." Ryouma replied from the PA. "In the meantime, we need to collect more data. Besides, we can't just use "that" soon."
"That?"
"Well, if you don't mind getting eaten alive." He chuckled.
Meanwhile, Sanji and Kyouko were at an old factory and looked around. The redhead knew Sanji as a patissier, and a newcomer Kamen Rider after his debut as Bravo. Sanji also knew Kyouko as the ruthless, relentless leader of Team Baron after her leave from Team Gaim.
"So, y'must be this Bravo dude." Kyouko started.
"And you must be Baron, AKA Sakura Kyouko. You're known as cruel leader of Team Baron. No wonder why you're at first place." Sanji smirked. He was pleased to meet this cruel boss of Baron as he knew her reputation as the unrelenting Kamen Rider and team leader who strived for strength over anything else. However, he must test her first if she could give him some pleasure unlike other Beat Riders who are utter amateurs.
"Cruel is an overstatement." Kyouko scoffed as she pulled out her Banana Lockseed. "Speaking about cruel, why don't we settle this fair and square?"
"Sure thing. Hopefully you can provide me more challenge than I've faced." Sanji responded as he pulled his Durian Lockseed. Both of them then unlocked their respective Lockseeds before setting them onto their Drivers as the respectively representated fruits appeared above them.
BANANA! / DU~RIAN!
LOCK ON!
"Behold! Armored Rider..." Sanji began as he sliced his lock first, trigerring the guitar riff.
DURIAN ARMS! MISTER~ DANGEROUS!
"Bravo~!" Bravo finished with a graceful spin when he transformed, and then Kyouko sliced hers next.
COME ON!
BANANA ARMS! KNIGHT OF SPEAR~!
"Didja mean Kamen Rider Bravo?" Baron responded.
"Mask is not all about us, darling! Don't you see we've the armors?" Bravo inquired.
"Just shaddup and fight!" Baron retorted as she charged to Bravo, sending some slashes with her lance which he blocked with another slash and countered with a kick. He then senta slash and kick, before a couple more of slashes at her gut. As Bravo taunted, Baron charged at the durian Rider to send some hit, but alas, since Bravo wielded two broadswords, that spiky Rider could block most of her blows easily, not allowing Baron to land any sigle hit. Not to mention the spikes all over Bravo's armor made his defense a bit higher. He then kicked Baron off, sending her flying hitting the crates and tins behind her. Baron quickly regained her stance and ran to Bravo, sending yet another parried slash and dodged Bravo's. Bravo quickly slashed her aside, knocking her down hitting the fence behind her and knocking the barrels behind the fences.
"Such power... what the hell are you?!" Baron grunted as she stood up. This Bravo was very strong, even more than herself. She might find worthy opponent, a level higher than Gaim/Homura. He was a ton times better than Nobita and Hideyoshi together, who humiliated her with such underhanded tricks of treason.
"Sorry, but you just can't match my training." Bravo smirked.
"But you won't win with brute force alone, faggot!" Baron roared as she held up three Lockseeds, two Himawari, a Kurumi, and an Ume Lockseed like Homura had. She then unlocked them to summon Elementary Inves with different colors, and a Kamikiri Inves. All of them were fully materialized, so they could battle to their full power.
BATTLE, START!
Upon arriving, Bravo avoided the lesser Inves falling, and the Inves surrounded him to his surprise. He was amazed to see a Kamen Rider from Beat Riders to use this technique very well, implying that Baron wasn't just his candy eye.
"Oh, my, my, my!" Bravo replied as he defended himself from all Inves attacks. He slashed through Elementary inves before heading to Kamikiri Inves. The blue long-horned beetle Inves greeted him with antenna whips, which he parried with sword slashed. Baron entered the fray and jousted with her lance while he was busy handling the Inves, knocking him down.
"That's quite the artistic move. Not bad at all, for an amateur." Bravo praised as got back on his feet, slashing incoming Elementary Inves. "But one thing you must learn..." As all three Elementary Inves caught him from all sides, he ducked before breaking free from their clutches and knocked them down. "Is that the best art is always the most fragile!" He pulled out a Lockseed with red tomato design on its front and "LS-41" code, unlocking it.
TO~MATO!
The big tomato appeared above Bravo as usual, and then he replaced the lock.
LOCK OFF!
LOCK ON!
Bravo then sliced it to produce riffing sound.
TOMATO ARMS!
The durian armor and Durinoko vanished, and the tomato fell over him. The tomato folded out in similar way as Durian Arms, except that the stemmed part folded together to the back to form back plate. After transforming, Bravo gained a trident with tomato at its hilt and a pitchfork-like three-pronged bladed end shaped like a tomato, with the stemmed part below the blade.
MISTER~ CATCHER!
Bravo had changed into Tomato Arms!
Bravo, spun the trident upwards and swung his trident Tomatent, slashing surrounding Elementary Inves and aimed the hilt at Kamikiri Inves. The net was shot out of the hilt, encapturing the Berserker Inves to the point it couldn't break free from the net, much to Baron's surprise!
"What the fuck?!" Baron groaned shocked. It was first time to see Bravo doing Arms Change, and what shocked her more was, the first time she saw him changed, he used the weapon really well, even her strongest minion pinned down!
"Surprised?" Bravo inquired as he stabbed entire Elementary Inves, one by another, destroying them. "This is a gift from the team of cute ladies!"
"You even got your hands to Popup?!" Baron gawked in shock, after hearing what he had done to Team Popup.
"Now then..." Bravo smirked as he jumped and stabbed through pinned Kamikiri Inves, destroying it after pulled out his trident. "You're the next!" Bravo then twirled his trident and swung to slash Baron, jabbed her gut with its hilt and kicked with his knee. He then slashed some more at Baron before preparing for finishing blow.
"Voila!" Bravo exclaimed "Here we go!" in French as he sliced his lock once.
TOMATO SQUASH!
Bravo shot the energy tomato ball from Tomatent's hilt to Baron, trapping her inside. He then threw the trident, striking her straight, resulting an explosion! Kyouko, forced out of transformation, sent flying until she hit the pipes, wrecking them and tumbling down. Her Baron coat and pants bear some slashes again, while her Baron shirt and vest shred open, revealing her toned abs, and her face had some bruises and blood drip on her mouth. Her Sengoku Driver fell from her waist and her Banana Lockseed flew into Bravo's hand. She suffered an utter defeat to a fighter with very much different level. She needed to become stronger even more.
"Don't push yourself." Sanji said as he reverted back to normal, walking to hurt Kyouko. "That's rather deep wound you just took."
"I'm..." Kyouko grunted as she struggled to get up on her feet, despite all the wound she sustained. She still wanted to fight, despite her main Lockseed now in Sanji's hands. "Not done yet!"
"Oh my." Sanji replied as he tossed the Banana lock back to Kyouko. He was impressed by Kyouko's unyielding fighting spirit. She deserved some compensation prize.
"Are you taking pity on me?!" Kyouko growled, gripping the Lockseed he returned tighter. While he genuinely did this for appreciating her best effort to fight him, Kyouko was still unpleased that she considered him mocking her up.
"You show genuine promise. Train yourself up. I'd be delighted to take you on again." Sanji smiled before... blowing her a kiss? "Salut!"
With the wave of "See you" in French, Sanji took his leave as the Baron leader limped her way to the base, having trouble with standing with all the wounds and pains.
Meanwhile, at Gaim's western stage, Team Gaim were preparing for their routine dance, and to add the excitement and surprise, Kamijou was also there! The problem is, why would he was there while he wasn't with Team Gaim?
"Good afternoon, Minna!" Madoka greeted the audience, which replied with cheers from the crowd. "Today, we're having special guest! He is... Kamijou Kyousuke-san!" The violinist, complete with his suit used for violin recital yesterday bowed to the spectators.
The crowds cheered even more as they heard the famous newcomer violinist came to rained the party. What would he do in this dance was very bewildering.
"Alright, let's start!" Madoka started as Homura put Gaim's player pass into the card slot on the jukebox, playing the music.
As the music started, Kamijou walked back behind Team Gaim while they started dancing. After some time of dancing, the team twirled their bodies. The music started to enter chorus, and this was where the fun began.
Kamijou started to play his violin, mixing Gaim's upbeat hip-hop music with the solemn yet fast tempo violin music. Team Gaim also had different moves in their dances, not just skipping and shuffling all around, but also mixed some of low-impact move to add the solemnity to blend with Kamijou's violin play, like Team Baron had, but a bit different. This gained more attention and cheers from the crowd as they twirled the Gaim-themed handkerchiefs upwards like crazy.
Some of these crowds, three people in Gaim-themed outfit to be exact, were talking in midst of this exciting show, discussing about Bravo.
"Did you hear Bravo beat up Baron too?" One of them began as Homura walked among the crowd, overhearing their conversation.
"Is there any Beat Rider can stand up to him?" Another person asked.
"I bet Gaim's next on the list." The third added. "What if he came here?"
"No way!" the second guy replied, making Homura sighed in worry. "It'd be great!"
She then spotted someone sabotaging the music, stopping Team Gaim from dancing, as well as Kamijou from playing violin. Everyone gasped in shock as they turned to the person holding the Player Pass. He turned out to be Sanji himself!
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Hitomi snapped as she walked to Sanji, annoyed. Thanks to him the collaborated show with her boyfriend was ruined.
"You're..." Himeko muttered, as...
"KYAAAAA~! ALFONSO-SAMA~!" Sayaka finished with a fangirling squeal on Sanji, much to her teammates' chagrin.
"Sayaka-san?!" Osomatsu gawked, shocked. Kamijou just glared at the patissier with annoyed look after his promised show with his friend disrupted. Not to mention he still have some scores to settle with the Kamen Rider Bravo.
Seeing Team Gaim surprised by his entrance, Sanji smiled, as if he liked to troll all Beat Riders all over the place. But at least he realized there was someone conscious enough to recognize his "Art".
"HE REALLY CAAAME~!" All three boys who talked about the man in question gawked in unison, surprised by his sudden appearance. This prompted Homura to quickly run to the stage.
Kamijou and All Gaimers on the stage backed up a bit, with Madoka dragged Sayaka who still suffered "Fangirl Syndrome" as Sanji walked to them for few steps.
"If this city's really going to provide public stages for this nonsenses, the least they could do is make sure the acts are actually talented." Sanji said. Now here where his lecture of true art according to his vision began. He just didn't like everyone prancing all around, did he? "I can see the one who did so well here, but if you guys don't distort his beautiful violin music with trashy beat and lame prance, the show would be wonderful!"
"Where do you get off judging our dancing?!" Hitomi retorted at Sanji, annoyed. Especially to people who are completely green to street dancing who wanted to judge their dancing.
"Well, I don't see anyone else bothering, sweetie!" Sanji responded, making Kamijou and Team Gaim backed up a bit further.
"It's important that the chaff is removed from art, that the only the best remains to be seen!" Sanji continued as he turned to the crowd, before turning back to Team Gaim, pointing at them. "It's because know-nothing amateurs like yourselves get to prance around like this, that culture as we know it is in a decline!" He finished as he walked to the dance team, puffed his cheeks, annoyed that Beat Riders couldn't comprehend the true art and culture estabilished since long time ago.
"Well, actually we don't care about art or culture, as you know!" Himeko responded.
"In case you don't notice, art is not something you can force to someone!" Kamijou added.
"Y-yeah, I-I know you want to teach us the high standard of art, but..." Sayaka said nervously, as she wanted to defend her team, but she had to keep her respect to her idol and role model. "We only wanna share our fun with the streets. Isn't that all right?"
"It's wrong, darling, all WRONG!" Sanji snapped as he took off his sunglasses, further annoyed as he was pushed past the borderlines of patience. "Art is not a playground for the likes of you!"
Sanji walked back, so he could have some room to prepare for his transformation, started by putting Sengoku Driver on his waist, and then pulling out and activating his main Lockseed. He was very angry. Those Beat Riders had pushed him too far from the limits of perseverance, which the artists should need. However, if that was the case, the artist must take assertive action in order to achieve the perfection of art.
DU~RIAN!
Upon the arrival of the big durian above Sanji, the spectators gasped in surprise. They could see something interesting coming, realizing what he was going to do.
"DURIAN KITAAAAA~!" The three guys gossiping about Sanji earlier gawked in unison at the lowering down durian as the man in question set up the lock.
LOCK ON!
As the guitar riff played from his Sengoku Driver, Sanji posed and sliced the lock. The durian fell over him, transforming him into Bravo.
DURIAN ARMS! MISTER~ DANGEROUS!
Upon Bravo's transformation, the crowds gawked in excitement and awestruck. And things would get more interesting as...
"Whoa there!" Homura responded, suddenly jumping to the stage. She realized that if Sanji was there, it could be a bad thing. Fortunately, Gaim had three Riders plus Kamijou who was willing to help if they needed extra hand. But looks like they need that hand right now, as Bravo was the literal Mister Dangerous, as Bima had barely matched him.
"Homura-chan!" Madoka gasped in response.
"This is gonna get ugly. Get back, but the rest of us Kamen Riders stay with me." The ebony-haired girl ordered the non-combatant team to leave the combatants: Homura, Himeko, Sayaka, and Kamijou preparing to transform in order to fight the mad artist-wannabe. "He's a tough one. I'll back you all up.
"Okay!" Himeko, Sayaka, and Kamijou nodded agreed.
"Oh, so you're a Beat Rider too, are you." Bravo sighed as he pointed one of Durinoko at Homura. "That explains your terrible fashion sense."
Homura simply scoffed at him in response. She didn't care what she wear, as long as they were comfortable to her, and appropriate. Furthermore, Homura's fashion sense didn't have anything to do with her status as Beat Rider, actually.
"You said you don't get along with Sagittarians, right?" Homura asked. "I don't make a habit of paying any attention to horoscopes, but just this once, they're spot on! Himeko, Sayaka, Kamijou, let's go!"
"Hai!" All other three Riders replied as all Riders put on their respective Sengoku Drivers and unlocking their starting Lockseeds.
ORANGE!/BUDOU!/PINE~BERRY!/MANGOSTEEN!
As the respective represented fruits appeared above all four Riders, Homura took the lead of Gaim Riders.
"HENSHIN!" The Riders exclaimed as they executed their respective Henshin poses, setting up their locks.
LOCK ON!
As the Horagai music from Homura and Sayaka's drivers and Erhu music played from Himeko and Kamijou's, Bravo, looked at them wondering what kind of show they would give to him, while Team Gaim watched with anticipation. All Gaim Riders then sliced the locks open.
SOIYA!/HAI~H!
And so, the fruits dropped over their respective Riders, transforming them into their Rider forms as the fruits set up the armors.
ORANGE ARMS/BUDOU ARMS~!/PINEBERRY ARMS!/MANGOSTEEN ARMS!
HANAMICHI ON STAGE!/RYU, HOU! HA-HA-HA!/BERRY~ HEROINE!/MAHABHARATA IN THE HOUSE~!
Upon transforming, all Riders took their own battle stances as they were ready for combat. With this, Bravo turned to the crowds again, ready to begin the fight with an opening greet.
"OUVERTURE~!" He proclaimed with a graceful spin, gaining attention and applauses from crowds, while all Gaim Riders sweatdropped at this.
"Oh, give it a damn rest, will ya!" Gaim retorted as she charged to Bravo first, quickly slashing with Daidaimaru, which he blocked, before other Gaim Riders jumped in, trying to overwhelm Bravo. However, despite their teamwork, Bravo managed to fend off them with the broadswords, making it tricky for them to attack him. He then avoided Gaim to slash Ryugen as he passed through. Fraise, ready with her bow as melee weapon, tried to land a slash on him, but he parried her away and kicked Bima trying to approach him. The Gaim supporter crowd cheered rabidly for their Riders as Gaim and Bravo sparred with their blades while Ryugen tried to hit him with her gun used like tonfa, which he ducked from to evade.
The durian Rider somehow managed to handle all four Riders at once despite being outnumbered. True to his experience as soldier, he had known how to fight several people at once, and the key is to focus to his surroundings, not some of his foes. As Gaim jumped in to send some slashes, Bravo parried with his spiky sword, while continued asaulting Ryugen. Fraise was ready with her archery to aid the grape Rider, but he shrugged the arrow off with his swords. Just then, Bima leaped in to land some clear rakes on him. Despite being able to handle them at once, he still had to deal with this hectic situation. It took a lot of focus to handle them at once.
This gave Gaim chance to attack him, or so she thought, as Bravo quickly retaliated and brought her locked with their blades.
"Why you...!" Gaim growled as Bravo locked her down. What's worse, was, he locked her in front of Ryugen, so she couldn't aim her gun at Bravo clearly!
"Tch... He's using Homura-san as a shield!" Ryugen muttered. But screw that anyway, as she could just charge at him, but Bravo freed the deadlock in response, so he could send a missed swat at her, spreading his focus again.
"Go get him, minna!" Hitomi cheered for the Riders who fought against Bravo, as Gaim and Bravo clashed their weapons again and followed by Bima. Bima and Ryugen approached him, but Bravo quickly repelled them, and deflected some fo Fraise's arrows. The pineberry Rider charged forward to send some slashes with her bow, but the gladiator-themed Rider parried her blows, and Bima leaped in to send yet another missed rakes. Gaim and Ryugen rushed to whack some of him, only to be evaded by the durian Rider as he passed through them. Gaim strafed in to slash him some more with no avail, and as Ryugen was about to hit him, Bravo kicked her off the stage. The crowds backed up to avoid the dragon-themed Rider tumbling upon them.
"Ow..." Ryugen groaned in pain.
"Himeko-chan!" Choromatsu yelled worried.
"Sugoi... He's really good at fighting!" Fraise muttered in awe. That is until Bravo slashed Fraise and Bima some more before kicked the archer-themed Rider off too, before Bima tried to counter his slashes with clawed gauntlets, only to be caught by his arms, and thrown out of the stage, tumbled down upon the other two kicked off Gaim Riders. Now it left Gaim all her own to fight this crazy patissier. Gaim managed to bring Bravo locked by their blades, again.
"You worked longer and harder than anyone to become a master patissier, you're proud of that, right?!" Gaim retorted.
Bravo turned the blades locked onto her, as he replied, "Of course, I am. I'm a true professional myself, after all."
He then freed the lockdown and beat her, throwing the samurai Rider to the wall. She growled, irked to Bravo. Why would he bother to beat the crap of every Beat Riders when he was proud of his cakes? He could entertain people enough with the cakes, right? What troubled him so he decided to return to the battlefield? Did he wanted to relive his memories as soldier or what? And more importantly, why he was so eager to punish so-called amateurs?
"Then, why the hell can't you be satisfied just being proud of your cakes?! They're making many people way happier than the crap you're doing to us!" Gaim responded. She disliked how Sanji treat the Beat Riders like crap just for fun after being a Kamen Rider, and he was hypocrite himself. He said that art is not a playground, but he himself treated the fight as an art, and he took pleasure of it. A disgrace for the name of Kamen Rider. Seriously, this guy need to be beaten some senses into him.
"SILENCE!" Bravo roared as he rushed to slash Gaim, which he missed, and then both Riders began parrying each other's attacks before he jabbed her. She then retaliated followed by a slash, but the swift blow from Bravo knocked her Daidaimaru off and getting her disarmed, as the durian Rider kicked her off stage.
"Homura-san!" Ryugen exclaimed as she caught Gaim, with Fraise and Bima tried to support her to prevent the grape Rider from falling.
"Himeko, guys!" Gaim exclaimed as she and other Gaim Riders prepared for open fire with the former setting up Musou Saber to Gun Mode, while Bravo combined both Durinokos into a halberd-like weapon. Just when they fired their projectiles at Bravo, he spun his halberd to deflect the projectiles before throwing it to them, knocking them back to the ground.
"Homura-san!/Himeko-chan!/Sayaka-san!/Kyousuke-kun!" Osomatsu triplets and Hitomi yelled for them as they saw their Riders getting mauled by Bravo. When all Gaim Riders struggled to get up on their feet, Bravo laughed like a noblewoman, amused to see them moping around.
"He's so damn strong...!" Gaim grunted as she and other Riders struggled to stand up, after the damage they got.
"Ah, I know! Let's try out that adorable tactic of Mademoiselle Banana's!" Bravo smiled under his helmet, referring to Kyouko/Baron as he took out three Lockseeds he had claimed from other Beat Rider teams, started from Donguri, Ichigo, and Budou. He then began unlocking all the locks in his collections and... dropping them to the ground?!
As the result, the Inves, both elementary and berserker appeared before the crowd fully materialized, making them scream and run off for their lives.
"Hey!" Gaim gawked, surprised as the Inves appeared, knowing that Bravo forgot something important about Inves Game. "You're meant to be controlling them!"
"What do you mean?" Bravo asked. He didn't knew that dropping locks during summoning Inves means making them out of control. What a fool.
"He doesn't know the first thing about summoning Inves!" Madoka gawked, sweatdropped. She had some kind of scared look, though. That Inves suddenly appeared and were about to go rampant.
The Inves began charging to every people nearby as they broke the ring bounds, going loose and berserk, terrorizing everyone! Just what the hell had Bravo done?! Thanks to him now Gaim Riders had to evacuate them immediately. However, they got their hands full as the number of Inves were too many for them to handle, so they got stuck on fighting them. Great, shit happens to be real.
"And there's so many of them!" Gaim gasped, as Koumori Inves charged at her, while Elementary Inves charged at them. Some of those lesser Inves attacked bystanders attempting to escape from the chaos, even Osomatsu triplets. Now it's all up to Gaim Riders to stop it.
"Tch, this is bad!" Gaim groaned as she threw an Elementary Inves aside before rushing to the one attacking a bystander, throwing it away. "Hold it right there, you creep!" She said to the Inves before turning to the victim, telling her to run. While Gaim was busy with keeping the Inves at bay, Bima leaped in and sent them some rakes, giving her more room.
"Kamijou, you help them escape! Let me handle this!" Gaim ordered.
"Okay!" Bima nodded as he kicked off coming Inves and raked another one.
Some Inves mooks were assaulting Osomatsu triplets much to their teammates' fear as they couldn't do anything to get rid of them. That is, until Ryugen came.
"Osomatsu-kun!" Ryugen called out as she rushed in, shooting the monsters and beat them up while Fraise helping the triplets to stand up, covering the non-combatant Team Gaim to the route to safety.
"How dare you! I'm your commander!" Bravo responded to the Inves. But they ignored him as they attacked, proving that reasoning was futile to the mindless creatures like them Inves. All in their minds are to brutalize everyone and anything. If he hadn't dropped his Lockseeds when summoning them, they would have listened. "Such insubordination! You'd think I could beat some senses into you!" He continued as Shika Inves tackled him with its horns.
Things turned ugly for the Riders as they had to handle this chaos, which Bravo had begun. Gaim Riders got themselves in hectic situation as they fought Inves, while Bravo had to take his responsibility for causing this massive breakout. Most people managed to escape, though the Inves were still chasing them, and some of them didn't make it, getting mauled by Inves.
Gaim slashed an elementary Inves before its kins caught her, clutching her from both sides.
"Tch, There's too many of them!" Gaim complained as she struggled to break free from Inves clutches.
Ryugen swatted an Inves aside, assisted by Fraise as she shot some arrows to Inves. Bima helped escorting the refugees while keeping away the Inves. Ryugen then came up with an idea, as she took out a Suika Lockseed.
"Homura-san, use this!" She called as she threw the lock at Gaim, who just broke free from the Inves' clutches.
"Another new lock? What's this gonna be?" As she caught the lock, Gaim wondered aloud what it could do to clean this mess up. She had to try it to make sure of it.
SUIKA!
After unlocking the new Lockseed, a zipper portal appeared far above her, and suddenly, a HUGE, oversized watermelon coming down from it, much to Team Gaim's surprise!
"Whoa! It's huge! Himeko, I can't handle this!" Gaim gawked shocked. She had never seen an Arms this gigantic before! It was almost twice her size, and no way she could hold it!
"Eh? A wrecking ball?" Ryugen gasped. She hadn't expected this coming.
"WOW!" Fraise gasped in shock.
"That's too big!" Bima added.
"It's gigantic!" Choromatsu waved his arms as if he tried to make an aerial shape of the fruit.
Bravo managed to swat away Shika Inves, to see the massive watermelon, much to his awe. "Oh, how beautiful..." He gasped.
"Himeko, it's too big!" Gaim gawked, still shocked as the watermelon coming down to her.
"Look at the size of it..." Bravo gasped as if he was a farmer impressed by how large his crops grew, while Gaim had to kick off some Inves, trying to regain her focus at battle.
"Here goes nothing!" Gaim yelled as she replaced the lock.
LOCK ON!
As Gaim's standby music played, Everyone at team Gaim prayed that Gaim would be okay, while Ryugen hoped that she wouldn't cause any detriment to Homura, as catching this big fruit would likely cause her to be hospitalized, or even worse, dead. As Gaim lost her Orange Arms, she sliced the lock, preparing for the worst case.
SOIYA!
"COME ON!" Gaim yelled as she caught the watermelon with her both arms, only for it to press her down for seconds and...
BOOM!
The watermelon fell to the ground, with Gaim was nowhere to be seen! This made the rest of Team Gaim assumed she had been squashed flat.
"HOMURA-CHAN!" Madoka cried out loud, worried.
"Whoa, whoops!" Ryugen winced, covering her eyes, afraid that she killed Homura.
"Homura-saaaaan!" Osomatsu triplets screamed in unison as they covered their eyes, while Hitomi gasped, glaring at Ryugen.
"Homu-chan!" Fraise gasped in shock.
"Akemi!" Bima shouted panicked as Bravo laughed, thinking it as a comedic yet a convenient defeat for Gaim.
"Literal suicide tactics! How beautiful!" Bravo said mockingly.
As two elementary Inves approached the watermelon to examine, suddenly... it spun to destroy them, and rolled all the way to nearby Inves, destroying them as it squashed them flat!
SUIKA ARMS! OODAMA BIG BANG!
The Riders and Team Gaim dancers backed up a bit, with Ryugen crawled back, afraid of it rolling over her in revenge. Bima and Fraise were astounded by this sudden major change.
"NOOOOON! My lovely tactical unit!" Bravo gasped as he jumped off the stage in disbelief. Now he had to face Gaim himself, as he struggled to hold the watermelon on, but it beat him to it, throwing him away to the construction equipment near the stage.
"Phew!" Gaim sighed in relief as she poked her head out of the melon, finding herself alive. It was so close to killing her that the watermelon almost squashed her flat. Gaim's visor now colored red with black spots, as if it had watermelon slice.
"Nice, Himeko! This is gonna be big help!" Gaim complimented Ryugen, as she found it very useful to do a short work against such vast number of Inves. The rest of the team cheered on her.
"Yatta~!" Madoka squealed in joy as Gaim managed to survive from the flatten, and crushing bunch of Inves in little time.
"Homura-san! You're okay..." Ryugen sighed in relief that she didn't kill Homura.
"Thank goodness..." Bima sighed relieved.
"Homu-chan!" Fraise called out happy that Gaim was still alive.
However, their celebration of victory was short as Bravo got up back, groaning annoyed as he pulled off the sheet to reveal what he had hit behind. An iron girder, of doom.
"Very well!" He roared as he picked up the girder before he ran up to Gaim bringing it. This made Team Gaim gasped in surprise, nervous once more.
"Akemi! HEADS UP!" Bima shouted, telling her to shift her attention to the Mister Dangerous once more.
"TIME TO SPLIT YOU!" Bravo roared as he swung the girder in attempt to split the watermelon like in Suika Wari, watermelon splitting game, except that Bravo wasn't blindfolded. Gaim ducked her head back into the melon in response as she prompted to rolled the watermelon aside to evade the girder attack.
"Shit! He's gonna split me like a melon!" Gaim groaned as she poked her head out again for a second before ducking back and rolled the melon. That is until he finally found a good spot to land a clean hit on the watermelon, splitting it into six pieces! Bravo laughed with a graceful spin as he tossed the girder aside with Team Gaim gasped in shock.
"C'est bon!" Bravo said "very good!" in French.
"It split..." Madoka said, almost whimpering as she saw Gaim got split. However, Ryugen and Bima noticed something was off from the watermelon slices. They were rather holographic somehow. And then...
"Hey, look!" Madoka gawked as she saw the watermelon slices began moving, reforming back into a whole fruit, much to Bravo's surprise!
"This is my stage now!" Gaim exclaimed as she poked her head out, before the watermelon started to change!
YOROI MODE!
The watermelon began unfolding, with the sides flapped open to reveal a pair of arms, and the lower front folded onto Gaim's feet and the back opened to reveal a pair of legs, folded out to front make mechanical legs. The sides then folded up to form double-plated shoulder armors, and the upper front folded in and out to fore chest armor. A large samurai kabuto helmet covered Gaim's head minus the pointed part of her katana-like head crest, with it having gold-and-red head crest similar to watermelon slice and a top resembling samurai ponytail, as well as green mouthpiece and a window for Gaim's eyes, showing her visor. It finished with a triumphant stand and a stick part of watermelon stem unfolding to form a naginata.
Gaim now piloting a Suika Arms, in Yoroi Mode!
"Oh my!" Bravo panicked to see this change. He was in awestruck, making him almost frozen in place when Gaim punched him hard with the mechanic arms, with the cartoonish eyes popping out of Bravo's lens-eyes!
"DIS DOOOOOOONC!" Bravo screamed as he was sent flying away until he hit the same thing he had thrown at earlier, tumbling down. This made Team Gaim gasped in awe, amazed by its sheer power.
"Yosha!" Osomatsu triplets cheered in unison.
"Awesome!" Fraise and Ryugen beamed.
"Nice one, Akemi!" Bima complimented Gaim.
"It was nothing, actually." Gaim said modestly. Just then, she spotted a lone elementary Inves walking to the stage, finding the Lockseeds Bravo had dropped earlier. It then gathered the locks together and swallowed all the locks at once. Its body glowed red before getting on all fours and transformed into a giant boar monster of some kind with three times its previous size.
This boar Inves had mainly red body with white armors over black segments of its body. The tusks were black in color, and huge horn-like crest above its head, attacher to its body. The crest had some kind of part resembling a pompadour of some sort at the middle. This Inves had evolved into Inoshishi Inves.
"Uh oh!" Ryugen gasped as she ran to the Inoshishi Inves to shoot it, but all shots didn't affect it at all as it simply shrugged off the energy bullets. That is until Gaim rushed in and held the giant boar. "Homura-san?"
"Back off, Himeko! I'll handle him!" Gaim responded until it struggled to thrust her off, and both of them jumped back, preparing for a fight.
"Oh, look at you, you beautiful beast! Go, get her!" Bravo cheered the Inves on, but fortunately for him it didn't recognize him that he didn't have to worry about getting smacked by the rampant Inves.
The horned crest of Inoshishi Inves glowed bright cyan before throwing energy discs at Gaim, but she spun the naginata Suika Soujintou to block them while the rest of Team Gaim backed off. She then cut off the boar's crests, before dashing back to fully strip the boar of its head crest and kicked it off. This made the boar retreated in pain.
"Oh damn! Himeko, Sayaka, Kamijou, let's go after him!" Gaim said as she took out Sakura Lockvehicle and unlocking it, tossing it to the ground as it turned into motorcycle for Ryugen and Bima to ride on. "Use this!" She shouted as she suddenly took Fraise in her Suika arms.
"E-Eh?! Homu-chan?!" Fraise gawked as Gaim put her into Suika Arms' interior, clutching to the blue Rider as if she hugged her.
OODAMA MODE!
"Thanks!" Ryugen thanked as she and Bima rode the bike, while Gaim's Suika Arms changed back into the fruit mode, rolling over and Ryugen drove the bike off. With the watermelon rolling over, Fraise was made dizzy, now in verge of sick.
"Whoaaaaaa~!" Fraise yelled panicked inside the watermelon. Not to mention that she blushed under her helmet that she had to hug Gaim to prevent her from falling out, and the fact that her chestplate were pressing against Gaim's breasts.
"Just hold on!" Gaim responded.
"C'mon, Himeko-chan!" Karamatsu cheered.
"Go get him!" Madoka and Hitomi cheered.
As Gaim Riders left off the field, Bravo could only gawked confused, feeling left alone. "Porquoi?" He asked "Why?" in French.
As Inoshishi Inves ran off, Gaim Riders chased after it along the roads, with the boar crushed some obstacles.
"Take this!" Ryugen yelled as she and Bima shot it with her Budou Ryuhou and his Kuku Bimanggis, tumbling the boar down while Ryugen and Bima dashed through, stopped before it. Just then, the watermelon rolled over to it, and went back to...
YOROI MODE!
As it changed back, Fraise jumped out of Suika Arms while Gaim landed with a triumphant pose.
"Ugh, I think I'm getting sick." Fraise moaned, almost getting nauseous.
Gaim, on the other hand, couldn't care less as she sliced her lock once.
SOIYA! SUIKA SQUASH!
Gaim twirled the Suika Soujintou to form an energy watermelon ball before firing it to Inoshishi Inves, trapping it inside.
"Gonna slice you up!" Gaim shouted as she jumped and twirled the giant naginata to slash it rapidly, finishing with a single slash to break the energy melon into pieces and burst a watermelon juice as it exploded. Gaim jumped out of the robot, somehow returned into Orange Arms as she landed while still holding Suika Lockseed.
"Yosh!" Ryugen cheered.
"Great job, Akemi!" Bima praised as he and Ryugen dismounted from Sakura Hurricane.
"Homura-san, we did it!" Ryugen said as she and other Gaim Riders ran over to Gaim. She then high-fived Gaim, while Fraise bumped her fist to the orange Rider. "Yeah!"
"Next time, Homu-chan, will you get me a Lockvehicle later? Rolling inside that watermelon almost made me sick!" Fraise said, slightly annoyed.
Just then, all four Gaim Riders heard a voice. They turned to see Bravo coming, seemingly worn out of the battles as he limped over to them.
"How dare you, you amateurs!" Bravo yelled as he pointed at Gaim Riders. He was ready to fight them again, despite his conditions. He didn't just give up, did he? "Ouverture-"
Suddenly, Bravo gawked as he heard something beeped within his armor. He then closed the lock to eject his transformation. Sanji took out his phone, and it was the timer! He need something to be taken care off at his bakery.
"Oh dear me! I need to get back and bake those pie crusts!" He gasped as the other Riders hardly letting down their guard, much less their poses.
"Oi!" All four Riders sighed, waved their left hands in sync as Sanji stared them down. He just wanted to go some more, only to be stopped by a damn timer? What the?
"I will get you for this!" Sanji sighed as he ran away rather clumsily from the injuries, falling. "Do not think you've beaten me!" He continued as he got up back and finally ran off. This made the Riders sweatdropped.
"Man, he's not gonna learn, is he?" Bima asked.
"I guess not." Gaim nodded.
"Ditto." Ryugen added.
"Aw, I wanna see how he bakes the pie crusts~..." Fraise cooed, much to Gaim's annoyance that she bonked her head. Fraise just chuckled speechless.
After that battle, DJ Sagara was back at Beat Riders Hotline with the recent information about the last battle. It seemed interesting for the ones who watch it.
"Baron used to be tied for first, but they lost to Bravo." DJ Sagara began. "And since Gaim beat Bravo, they took all those points! And that puts Team Gaim in first place with a huge lead!" He continued as the Beat Rider team ranks was shown: Mouryou in 10th place, Boost in 9th, Spingere in 8th, Red Hot in 7th, Raid Wild in 6th, Invitto in 5th, Popup in 4th, Souten in 3rd. Then, Gaim, which used to be tied with Baron at first place and below the latter, moved up to the top of the rankings, beating all other teams with Baron now at second place! "Congratulations!"
Back at Team Gaim's garage, to celebrate their victory, they had set the decorations for the party, such as ribbons and balloons all over the place. Now they were in first place, there was no reason not to be happy about it, and of course, they must have something special for this moment.
"Toast! Let's do a toast!" Hitomi cheered as everyone had some glasses of juices.
"Well, thanks to you, Himeko. If it weren't for ya, we're done for." Homura said.
"I didn't do anything actually." Himeko said modestly. "It was you who saved the day for us!"
"Of course!" Hitomi said as she pat Homura's shoulder. "Now you're the heroine of the day, and we're finally at first place!"
"But that means more challenge will come upon us." Madoka said. "While preparing for strike back, we should perfect our dance some more!"
"Yea-bo!" Osomatsu triplets cheered in unison, along with the rest of Team Gaim.
"In case you need something, I'll be available for extra hand." Kamijou smiled, offering his help while he didn't officialy join Team Gaim just yet.
"Anyways, where's Sayaka?" Homura asked, realizing that Sayaka was yet to go back. She had said to her that she wanted to take something special for the party. Cue a couple of seconds of silence moment.
"Let's wait a bit." Himeko said.
"No, I can't wait!" Choromatsu chuckled. Soon after, the girl in question arrived after worth of waiting.
"Sorry for waiting~!" Sayaka beamed, bringing a big plastic bag containing a cake box of some sort. Whatever it was, it seemed to be something special everyone waited for.
"You are late!" Choromatsu said, now eager to see it.
"I'm sorry! Here you go! A cake to celebrate!" Sayaka said as she brought the cake box to the table before the gang, making them cheer in joy.
"...Wait! Isn't this from Le Charlotte?!" Homura gawked in surprise, as she responded differently from the gang as she realized that the cake was from Le Charlotte, where her sworn nemesis worked.
"What's wrong with Le Charlotte? They make the best cakes!" Sayaka asked teasingly as she pushed the box card to Homura and untied the box to open, revealing the gorgeously dressed cake with fruits all over it. As expected from Le Charlotte, they always made tantalizing cakes, no wonder why everyone wanted to enjoy even a simply single bite of it, and why Sayaka went gaga over the patissier Sanji Alfonso. This made Team Gaim (save for Homura) gasped in awe.
"To being number one! Cheers!" Himeko cheered as everyone who were about to enjoy the cake replied with cheers and clinked their glasses, having a sip.
"That's good point, but..." The black-haired girl muttered as she stormed off to the snack corner of the garage while trying to re-evaluate her disdain towards Sanji. But she seemed to have more problem of it as she flipped the card... to show Bravo's portrait?!
As the confetti were shot, Homura could only sigh and sweatdropped over the stuffs burdening her mind of that nutcase patissier as the ribbons from the confetti fell over her...
(Suddenly the Orange, Pine, Kinkan, Ume, Ichigo, and Suika Lockseeds and Sakura Lockvehicle flew over the current scene and it zipped closed to form blue background with Gaim's logo on it.)

SID'S LOCKSEED CATALOGUE
Sid, as usual sitting on the sofa in his studio. He was ready to review Lockseeds in this chapter, as well as the one he forgot to review last chapter. As he finished with his crackers, Sid shifted his attention to the readers.
"Yo there, readers. Back wtih me Sid." He greeted the readers. "Not much I wanna say today, aside the fact I wanna show ya the locks featured here..."
He then pulled the briefcase open, and took out three Lockseeds: Blackberry, Tomato, and Suika.
"These." He showed these three locks. "Before ya ask why there's Blackberry here as it was featured in last chapter, I've limitation rule of reviewing up to three locks per chapter, y'know? Besides, I'll only review them if they're used in Sengoku Driver."
"Alright, let's begin from this guy." Sid began as the LCD screen above him showed an image of Blackberry Lockseed.
"LS-16 Blackberry Lockseed is unlike other fruit-based Lockseed we've seen so far, it's a B+ Class Lockseed, almost equal to the A-ranked ones." Sid began reviewing the Blackberry Lockseed. "This, along with Pineberry, Mangosteen, and Tomato, is a fan-made Lockseed. That Homura chick bought it from me and gave it to Sayaka, one of her buddies. This can be used in Sengoku Driver to..."
BLACKBERRY ARMS! MISTRESS~ FOUET!
"Change into Blackberry Arms!" Sid finished as the image of Fraise Blackberry Arms and her weapon Blacka Cracka replaced the previous image. "Blackberry Arms is quite... attractive. Despite her weighted armors, she could give some swift and relentless whips with Blacka Cracka! I dunno why, but it sounds funny. Not to mention she become like... A bondage girl in leotard of some sort... Her punching and kick powers are much less like Baron's Banana Arms."
"Next is this guy." Sid replaced the lock with Tomato Lockseed, as the image switched to Tomato Lockseed. "This A-classed LS-41 Tomato lock is one of premium Lockseeds, which originally belonged to Team Popup until Bravo beat the crap out of their Inves, or maybe themselves. Poor sexy chicks. FYI, all of them are portrayed by Kamen Rider Girls. How convenient."
TOMATO ARMS! MISTER~ CATCHER!
"Back to the topic," Sid shifted the attention as the screen now displayed images of Bravo Tomato Arms and his weapon Tomatent. "Tomato Lockseed grants the Sengoku Driver wielder Tomato Arms and a trident with net launcher Tomatent. This form in basically designed for defense purpose, with the speed is no less than Ryugen's Budou Arms, but the punching and kicking power is kinda similar to Gaim's Pine Arms. What's more, he can shoot a net to capture someone or something from the trident's hilt, and that's suited if he's cornered! The trident part... Well, just slashing and stabbin'. The long poles can help you guard with wide area, though."
"Last one is... TA-DA~!" Sid shouted as he showed... a Suika Lockseed. Then, the screen displayed an image of Suika Lockseed. "The main star of this chapter, LS-10 Suika Lockseed! It's a premium A-Class Lockseed, too. It initially was in posession of Overseer Himemiya, but her sister Himeko might took it. Who else did that if it wasn't her? Overseer's cute maid? No. Speaking of premium, don't you know what it'll come with?"
SUIKA ARMS! OODAMA BIG BANG!
"Yeah, a BIG! GIGANTIC! Suika Arms!" He added as he circled his arms upwards, as if drawing the aerial shape of the watermelon. The image of Suika Arms in three modes showed in the screen, along with its weapon Suika Soujintou. "This Arms is really special! Despite being sluggy slow, it packs with great punches! Not only that, it comes with a naginata Suika Soujintou, which is very, very powerful."
Sid then sipped the lemon tea before he continued reviewing the Suika Arms. "That's not all, folks! It can also transform into three modes. The humanoid Yoroi Mode, A Gyro Mode that enables you to fly and shoot everyone like crazy with those hand-launchers, and its initial fruit mode, Oodama Mode where it rolls over every Inves and flatten them to the ground! Boo-ya!"
As the screen turned off, Sid put all locks back into his briefcase, before shifting his attention back to the readers. "That's all, folks! Remember to read, review, follow, and favorite. Also, make sure to answer the quiz. Anyone who got the 3 quizzes of any chapters correct for first 5 people will get FREE Beta-read! Sid here and seeya!"
Sid continued sipping the lemon tea as the review ended...
