8. Red Hot Cherry and Flamboyant Lime!

Pega-Rider: HELLO~ Fanfiction! Pega-Rider here back with brand-new chapter, totally original! As I said in previous chapter, Baron's Mango Arms will be pushed back a chapter, so I can debut these OC Riders of Seeker213's. Cherry and Lime. C'mon, guess. Anyways, sorry for the late update since I had mid-terms. But now that I'm done with the mid terms, I finally can sort this out. Before we start, I have bad news for you guys.

SOPA IS BACK!

Right, you maybe remember that from 2012, a policy in purpose to kill fan-arts, fanfics, cosplay, reviews, custom building, and other fan-based works. To look it more convenient, they made it look like a mere anti-piracy program. Though the intention is noble, the execution is somewhat twisted, and you can't imagine if our works is censored like crazy. To leave the internet in the hands of few corporates? Like hell we will! So, please help us to expunge SOPA and make it gone forever from the world.

Alright, let's start!

"Hello~ Mitakihara City and all you Beat Riders out there!" DJ Sagara began the Beat Riders Hotline with his trademark hammy yet friendly greeting. "Did you see the new Rider Bravo's epic battles? He's knocked out Kurokage, Gridon, and now even Baron; although he evenly matched with Bima. The only one who's managed to win is Gaim. So Team Gaim's sticking to the top of rankings, but Team Baron's tailing them from second place!" He announced as the team rankings were shown. "The battle goes tip and toe, and now every team prepares to dethrone Gaim from Champion's seat! Whatever surprise will be put into this fiesta, you will have your eyes attached!"

As the show broadcasted on the TV at Drupers, Sonomura and Team Red Hot were having their parfaits and juices, with the former looked gloomy, while his teammates just enjoyed their foods and drinks, while trying to shrug off the thought like their leader had. After getting his Sengoku Driver confiscated, Sonomura had to think how to get out of this problem, as Gaim now having three Kamen Riders with one extra help from non-Beat Riders, Kamijou Kyousuke AKA Kamen Rider Bima. Also, Aside from Baron, Raid Wild and Invitto had their own Riders, plus an interloper Kamen Rider Bravo who had the belt and Lockseeds got from him. The Red Hot Leader sighed as he drank some of the strawberry juices, disappointed.

"Hey, what's up? You look troubled." Bandou asked as he walked over to the gang and noticed Sonomura's gloomed look.

"Hell yeah I am!" Sonomura answered. "I mean, I got my Driver and that darn cake blondie just took them."

Bandou Just sighed in response. He knew that Sanji was relentless when it comes to fighting and baking. But he just learned that Sanji got the Driver and Lockseed by confiscating Sonomura's. By connecting the fact and Sanji's action as Bravo, it made senses to him, but he couldn't do much thing with it. "I see... Maybe you did something to piss him off. Say, you made him annoyed or unplease him or his customers?"

Sonomura recalled the moment he and his team celebrated his freedom from Baron's alliance at Le Charlotte, and getting thrown out by Sanji for being too loud. That's where he lost his Sengoku Driver and Durian Lockseed. He couldn't forget that day since then, as it already burned into his memories.

"Like hell I care." Sonomura scoffed. "Next time I meet him, I'll make him pay!" He growled as he slammed his fist against his other hand.

"Y'know, Sanji's devoted himself to satisfy his customers with his bakery art and service." Bandou pointed out. "Anything that would cause inconvenience for them like being too loud or causing ruckus are something he can't tolerate. Plus, I heard he's ex-air force, so you better watch yourselves."

As Bandou returned to the kitchen, Sonomura saw someone coming, with his familiar large briefcase. He was Sid. Seeing Sid coming, an idea came into Sonomura's head, as well as hopes. With Sid around, he could ask him for more belts so he could set his revenge against Sanji and prepare to de-throne Team Gaim from first place.

"Good ol' Sid." Sonomura smirked as the Lock Dealer sat on his usual seat. "Now I don't have to worry about that weird cake blondie again."

Lock 8: Red-Hot Cherry and Flamboyant Lime!

At Mitakihara High, in Class 2-A to be specific, the teacher Mizuho was giving a math lesson to the students, who paid attention to her lecture to her pleasure. All the students were working on their math problems. These students had spirit of studying, which the youth should need these days.

"When you're finished with your problems, feel free to collect your work on the table." Mizuho said.

After doing her work, Sayaka turned to Homura, and whispered. "Hey, Homu-chan, Madoka-chan,"

"'Sup?" Homura and Madoka who also had done their work answered slowly, as they didn't want Mizuho-sensei to hear them talking.

"Listen, Souten's Team Leader will come here!" Sayaka whispered.

"Why would he come here?" Madoka asked.

"I don't know, but I think he have some... ulterior motive." Sayaka answered.

"Ulterior motive?" Homura asked.

As Sayaka was about to tell the girls what kind of "ulterior motive" he had, the school bell rang, ended the lesson session. The students then collected all their works to the teacher's table, so Mizuho could take them to check.

"Alright, that's it for today. See you next Friday." Mizuho said as she took the students' works, taking her leave, and the students followed suit.

---

Later outside school building, Homura, Madoka, Sayaka, Hitomi, and Kamijou found the students, especially female students to swarm in front of school gate as if they were waiting for someone. Homura suspected it had something to do with Sayaka had just said earlier, but in order to clarify if that was true, she had to approach one of those students and ask her.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Homura asked one of female students swarming on the ground.

"You don't know?" She replied. "We're waiting for Battler-sama~!"

"Battler... what?" Homura asked again, having no idea who was this "Battler" was. Was he probably the one Sayaka talked about, Souten's team leader?

Just as Sayaka walked over to Homura and was about to tell her who this Battler-sama was, a white limousine came by the school gate, making the girl students squealed in joy as they anticipated this so-called "Battler-sama" who was probably inside the limo. Madoka was very interested to see this "Battler-sama", while the Gaim Beat Riders and Kamijou just sweatdropped as they saw this. And true to their anticipation, this someone came out of limo, making the girls went crazy like rabid fangirls.

He was a boy with messy red head and red eyes, wearing Heaven's Tree Private High school uniform, implying he was the student of the school funded by Yggdrasil. From how he looked, he was very handsome, to the point the girls' hearts melt. He was Battler Ushiromiya.

"Hello, ladies~" Battler greeted with a flirty wink, making the girls squealed even louder, until one of them collapsed in joy.

"BATTLER-SAMA~!" The girls squealed, blinded by the lovestruck. Madoka was interested to see Battler, but she didn't go gaga like other girls did, except Homura, Hitomi, and Sayaka. Hitomi didn't freak out upon him because she already had Kamijou as boyfriend, while Sayaka already went gaga over Sanji whom she considered as idol and role model. As for Homura and Madoka... They didn't put too much attention to him.

"So, he's... Battler?" Homura deadpanned. "What's so special about him?"

"He's Souten team leader, you know?" Sayaka informed. "Plus, I heard his family is billionaire, and one of his family's corporation is affiliated with Yggdrasil!"

"Oh, really?" Madoka asked. "Then why did he join up as Beat Riders?"

Battler then turned to the unfaltering companion and walked over them. While he smiled with amusement as he had rarely seen this kind of girls, he wondered why. After all, between them were Beat Riders of Team Gaim, one of his team's rivals, and most of them were Kamen Riders for that team.

"Oh, you must be dancers from Team Gaim, eh?" Battler asked. He seemed to be interested with these companion.

"So what if I am?" Homura scoffed.

"Well..." Battler sighed, as he tried to find proper word to explain his purpose. "I just wanna give you guys a challenge."

"Challenge?!" Hitomi gawked in shock. The other female students gasped as well, in awe rather than shock.

"Yep. After what I've learned from your battle from Baron and Kamen Rider Bravo, I think I should set up a big arena for my challenge to you guys." Battler explained. For him, vast amounts of audience was required to make the dramatic debut, especially with the girls going gaga on him. Applauses, cheers, and thousand eyes watching. All of them would be perfect, especially he wanted to show something there. "So I can throw some elements of surprise at you."

"If you wanna send us a big or many Inves, be our guest!" Sayaka beamed cockily as she pointed at Battler triumphantly. Battler just chuckled in response.

"Let's see if you can handle that." Battler said amused. "Besides, I'm here to challenge not only you, but Baron as well."

"Eh?" Madoka gawked, and as she did...

"I've been expecting you." They heard a voice spoke as Team Gaim members turned around to see someone walked out of school building. She was Kyouko, accompanied by Ky and Miwa. "So you must be Battler Ushiromiya, the leader of Team Souten."

"Yeah, and you must be Team Baron." He answered as he turned to prominent Team Baron members, who happened to be students of Mitakihara High. "I've heard a lot about you, especially you, Sakura Kyouko, AKA Kamen Rider Baron. Baron's ruthless leader."

"Glad you heard lot about me." Kyouko scoffed. "And what kind of challenge you'll put into us and Gaim?"

"Simple." Battler answered as he turned around and walked around Gaim and Baron members. "Tomorrow, I'll challenge you and Baron in tag-team battle at Mitakihara Stadium, 4 PM. Each team will be partnered with other team, and each team can only send out one Kamen Rider."

"Eeeeeeeeh?!" Sayaka gawked as Battler explained the challenge's rule. While she was surprised by the rule of one Rider per team, she knew it meant Gaimers could only rely on Homura, and she, Himeko, and Kamijou were out of action. But it could make everything fair for everyone, considering Gaim now had four Riders.

"But what about Raid Wild and Invitto?" Hitomi reminded about Nobita and Hideyoshi's partnership. "Shouldn't you challenge them as well?"

"I'm just here to challenge top-tier teams like Gaim and Baron, so we can get some boost to our ranks." Battler answered. "Besides, you should decide who will you be partnered with. And as for Gaim, you should discuss who'll you send out."

"I'm in." Homura answered, agreed to volunter herself to fight for Team Gaim's behalf, seemingly out of blue. This made Battler smiled in pleasure, while Madoka hoped Homura would be alright since she was going to fight on their behalf, like she did earlier when she started as Kamen Rider Gaim.

"Homura-chan..." Madoka muttered, slightly worried.

"Ok, so Kamen Rider Gaim herself is gonna fight for Team Gaim, eh?" Battler inquired. "Now it's time for you to decide who'll you team up with."

Kyouko turned to Homura, who looked her back, and looked at her with a sigh, considering the only option for her is to team up with Gaim, who dethroned Baron from the first place. This was now or never chance. Maybe this is the chance to prevent Baron's position from going down further, or even to dethrone Gaim if the time came.

"So, Akemi." Kyouko began. "Will you take down this flamboyant dude with me?"

"Kyouko?" Homura asked. She never heard Kyouko asking for her help for this one, even she knew that this was tag team. Kyouko on the other hand, knew that Raid Wild would partner with Invitto for this challenge, and she predicted that Souten had another team to tag before he announced the challenge. So, it left to Gaim as the only option.

"Don't get me wrong." Kyouko said. "I'm just tagging with you because I've no choice. You know Nobi always partnered with Kinoshita since they become Kamen Riders, and as for Souten, they didn't challenge us if they hadn't partnered with other team beforehand, right?"

"I see the point, but... it's unusual for you to offer help to us." Homura said.

"I said, I don't do it to help you." Kyouko scoffed. "If he hadn't spoke about the rules, then you should be able to take them down by yourselves."

"Well, I got a question for you." Kamijou said out of curiosity. "Who will you team up with?"

"As I said, you'll see." Battler answered as he walked back to the limo. "Remember, tomorrow, 4 PM at Mitakihara Stadium. Don't be late." He reminded as he flashed a finger gun sign to Homura and Kyouko, before giving the fangirls a flirty wink, which they reacted with lovestruck gasp.

As Battler went inside the limo, the fangirls went crazy and ran over to it, only for the limo to leave soon after. The Beat Riders could only wonder what Battler and his partner would show in the challenge. Why would they challenge them at the first place?

"Battler Ushiromiya. I'm expecting something interesting from you." Kyouko remarked.

"Boss, are you serious to team up with Gaim?" Ky asked.

"I wouldn't be if they state one Rider per team thingy. Besides, it's best course of action if we wanted to keep our position from plummeting down the ranks." She answered as she walked away, leaving the school. Ky and Miwa then followed suit.

Homura wondered what would happen with Nobita and Hideyoshi upon receiving the challenge. She also wonder what Battler meant of "elements of surprise".

"That guy... What he's up to...?" Homura wondered.

---

Later at Gaim's garage, Himeko was sitting on the stairs, staring at the Suika Lockseed with the watermelon grayed out, drained out of is color. She tried to open it, but it didn't respond and stayed still. Speaking of the garage, it now had some better decorations as now they had sofa, snack bars, and guest table. The team had chipped in to buy all those furnitures after their victory for reaching the first place.

"It won't open. What's wrong with it?" Himeko wondered. She could only figure that since it was used to summon a gigantic Suika Arms, one use would cause it run out of energy, thus couldn't be used in the meantime. "Maybe we can't use it again until the color comes back."

---

Later at Drupers, Battler arrived, and he walked past Nobita and Hideyoshi who were having parfaits. Those two bottom-feeder team leaders noticed him passing by, but the bespectacled Invitto leader just snickered at him.

"Battler-kun, what is he doing here?" Nobita wondered aloud with a curious smile.

"Beats me." Hideyoshi said. "Maybe he wanna meet Sid to buy Lockseeds."

As Hideyoshi said, Battler came to Sid's table. There, the lock dealer was snacking on parfaits, until the Ushiromiya heir came and sat across him. Lockseed was something he wanted to buy, but not just that.

"Oh, if it's not Ushiromiya-kun." Sid remarked happily to see one of the customers, especially when he aware Battler was from wealthy Ushiromiya family, known to be one of most wealthiest family in Japan. "You come at the right time, kid." He said as he checked into his briefcase.

"Now, Siddy. Give me "that", will ya?" Battler asked eagerly, to the main point why he came. Sid had made appointment for bringing the "Goods" with Battler earlier.

"Of course. My customers are my friends after all. No way I could disappoint them." Sid answered as he took out a Lockseed with lime design, in style similar to Gaim's Orange Lockseed, but colored green instead; as well as "LS-27" code. Battler smiled at his new Lockseed, as he got something he needed for his challenge with other teams with Riders. But there's more.

"And for 'elements of surprise'..." Sid continued as he digged into his inventories, trying to look for something he wanted to give to Battler beside the Lime Lockseed. While Sid and Battler conducting transaction, Nobita and Hideyoshi looked at them. They then went back into their parfaits.

"Looks like we're having more rivals join the fray." Nobita sighed. "This will be Sengoku Period all over again."

"Yeah." Hideyoshi nodded as he took another scoop of his strawberry parfait. "But that doesn't mean we have to chicken out."

"True, we need to revise our strategies." Nobita added. "Besides us, there's Gaim and Baron, and there's Bravo dude too. Who knows if there'll be more Riders appearing at Mitakihara?"

"I hate this, frankly." Hideyoshi sighed, disappointed. "I mean, this Bravo guy was troublesome enough, and Gaim now have four Riders. We need to restock our locks as many as possible." Despite they wanted to add more Lockseeds into their collection, they still have minimal cash, insufficient to buy any locks right now.

Soon after, Battler walked over to the duo, and he greeted them cheerfully as he slammed the table, "Hey there!" This made them starled in response.

"Geez, Battler-kun. You're so excited aren'tcha?" Nobita asked with surprised grin, wondering what made the Souten leader this happy.

"Heck yeah I am. Here for ya guys!" Battler answered as he tossed the Donguri and Matsubokkuri to Nobita and Hideyoshi. They looked at the new Lockseeds out of curiosity, wondering why would he throw away these locks. Did he just buy these locks out of his kindness to celebrate something "big" he just got, or did he just have schemes to pull off?

"It's unusual to hand out locks out of random." Hideyoshi pointed out.

"Well, Yossy. I'm just happy that I get something great! Yea-bo!" Battler beamed, flashing finger gun signs at them.

"Let me guess, you just gave Gaim and Baron a challenge to show something to them?" Nobita guessed. It would be very likely since Battler just bought something from Sid, and it could only mean he had means to challenge the top-tier teams.

"That's why I asked Siddy to get those locks, four-eyes." Battler remarked.

"Say that again, I dare you." Nobita said, glaring at Battler with daring smile, not liking the nickname Battler gave to him. That would be pretty much offending, considering the eyeglasses were property of Team Invitto, and Battler made fun of it.

"I'm just kidding, Nobby." Battler chuckled joked. "If you guys interested, come to see me at Mitakihara Stadium tomorrow, 4 PM. Seeya!"

After Battler left Drupers, the partnered team leaders stared at where he had been, now that the things will get interesting. Nobita predicted the new arrival of Riders joining the fray, the reason why Battler would set up a challenge.

"Now what, Nobita?" Hideyoshi asked.

"It's obvious. We're gonna rain the parade." Nobita answered, looking at the new Donguri Lockseed he had just got.

---

Outside Drupers, Battler just walked out, and he saw Sonomura waiting there. Why would Sonomura waited for Battler? Is there anything he wanted to talk with him? Whatever the reason, they seemed about to discuss something.

"Yo there, Battler!" Sonomura greeted Battler cheerfully with finger gun gesture, high-fiving him. He seemed really happy, eager to know about the result of Sid's transaction.

"Yo, Sonny." Battler replied. "You know, I got "That" too."

"Wow, great! Now we can topple both Gaim and Baron bitches!" Sonomura beamed. Wonder what these guys have in the store. Could they be "Elements of surprise" Battler mentioned?

"Oh, don't forget we also have that gay-ass baker on the way." Battler reminded about Sanji. "He'd love to rain our parade while we challenge them."

Sonomura remembered the day Sanji stole his Driver and Lockseed, and his "career" as Kamen Rider beating the crap out of Beat Rider teams. That guy need to be taught a lesson or two for messing with Red Hot, and he now had means for that. Not to mention the crazy patissier tends to butt into Beat Riders' events and fights. Now with Battler, they could possibly beat him up, or even Gaim and Baron.

"Like hell I'd forget it!" Sonomura responded. His memory about that incident was getting into him so much. "I'll make that fucking gay baker pay, big time!" He growled as he slammed his fist into his hand.

"No need to rush, Sonny." Battler said as he pat Sonomura's shoulder. "We can do this. Together."

"FUCK YEAAAAAH!" Sonny cheered, seemingly very excited and passionate about it. While the two leaving Drupers site, Sid walked out of Drupers, watching at them with a shady grin...

"Now then, I got my work cut out nicely." Sid smirked, impressed after his successful transaction with Battler...

---

At Baron's base, Kyouko was sitting in the dining table, while Ky and the rest of Team Baron watched Beat Riders Hotline, wondering how to reclaim the first place now Gaim had overshadowed them. Plus, Kyouko's decision to team up with Gaim was something questionable to the rest of team. To team up with Kyouko's former team was a good choice to prevent Baron from sliding down in the ranks, but the team champ now was their sworn rival, so the other Riders. That's why Souten declared a challenge against Baron. Not only to dethrone Gaim, but to prevent Baron from reclaiming the first place.

"Hey, Kyouko-san." Miwa began. "Are you sure you wanna team up with Gaim?"

"It's decided." Kyouko answered. "We're gonna team up with Gaim in Ushiromiya's challenge."

"I heard he's teaming up with Red Hot. Is that true?" one of the Barons asked.

"Maybe." Kyouko remarked.

"That's what Nobi said. I happened to have the message from him." Ky said as he showed Kyouko the message via his MSN.

DonGriDonTactics14 writes: Guess what, I just saw Battler-kun with Sono-chan out of Drupers today. They're talking about kicking some butts, so best chances are they're teaming up in the challenge. I wonder what kind of surprise he might to put there.

Seeing the message, Kyouko just scoffed at it, wondering what kind of "elements of surprise" Battler mentioned earlier. What would they do, especially with Red Hot of all teams? She can only guess that they just went to Sid to buy some powerful Lockseeds, or even worse...

"Don't tell me..." Kyouko growled, ripping the bread with her teeth in anxiety before munching it. She already predicted this coming, although she was surprised Souten would team up with Red Hot.

"Boss?" Ky asked.

"They set this challenge up from the beginning..." Kyouko said as she shuffled her cards. "Ushiromiya and Sonomura might have something in the store beforehand. We can't let our guard down."

"Exactly, Kyouko-san." Miwa nodded.

"Miwa," She said as she stopped shuffling.

"Yes, Kyouko-san?"

"I hate to say this, but if shit happens, I need your help." Kyouko said as she placed the cards on the table before crossing her arms.

"Okie-dokie!" Miwa beamed as he gave the leader a salute, with a slingshot in his left hand.

"But I thought you're against it!" Ky reminded.

"They wouldn't just summon Inves in Rider suit right away." Kyouko replied. "It's only used if shit hits the fan. Nobi and Kinoshita would likely to rain our parade. If that happens, the fuck with that."

Ky just shrugged, unable to comprehend what Kyouko wanted to accomplish, really.

---

Back at Team Gaim's garage, Himeko was still staring at the grayed out Suika Lockseed while Choromatsu was nibbling on the popcorn, Karamatsu slept, and Osomatsu cleaned up the place. While Osomatsu irked and dragged Choromatsu to help him, Himeko pondered on how to restore its power. Probably it could restore itself in certain time period, so either she or Homura must wait for it to return its color. Are other Lockseeds work this way? If so, it would have much longer usage period.

Not much later, Homura, Sayaka, Madoka, Hitomi, and Kamijou all arrived at Gaim's garage. Of course, they had to tell other Gaim members about Battler's challenge. "Guys! This is terrible!" Madoka gawked as just arrived Gaim members walked down the stairs to the garage's lobby.

"Eh?!" The rest of Team Gaim gawked in response, and Karamatsu woke up from his sleep.

"Souten put a challenge on us!" Hitomi added.

"Oh, really?!" Osomatsu gawked surprised upon hearing the answer.

"Yeah, they challenged us and Baron into a tag-team battle! Tomorrow 4 PM at Mitakihara Stadium!" Sayaka added.

"Tag-team battle?" Karamatsu asked dumbfounded. They had only heard that kind of battle during Inves Game before introduction of Kamen Riders. Now with the Kamen Riders around, they could only wonder which team Gaim should be partnered up to. However, Kyouko had come up with a solution.

"Yeah, he said we can only send out one Kamen Rider, and it will be me." Homura informed. "Besides, Kyouko offered her help for it."

"Really?!" Himeko gasped surprised. She never expected to be helped by Team Baron of all people, since Team Baron was archrival of Gaim, and the team founded by Kyouko after leaving Gaim. While older members like Osomatsu triplets and ex-Puella Magi were pleased that Kyouko tagged with Homura in the battle later, Himeko was surprised considering Baron now aimed to dethrone Gaim to regain their former glory as unbeatable champion. How this would affect Beat Riders rank was the point of interest for all teams, including Gaim.

"Yeah. According to Nobita's intel, Souten's partnered up with Red Hot." Hitomi said as she showed the same message Ky had got to Himeko and Osomatsu triplets.

"Really?!" Choromatsu gawked. "Why would they partner up with Red Hot of all teams?"

"I suppose... They must have got something from Sid, the reason why they started up this challenge at first place." Kamijou speculated. The challenge itself was a bit fishy as Battler had planned it from the very beginning, and there's no way he didn't if he started it .

"Most likely." Himeko nodded agreed. "They may have powerful Lockseeds to carry... Or even worse, they probably got Sengoku Drivers."

"No way!" Madoka gasped, thinking about the worst case if that were really happen. The increasing numbers of Riders was inevitable, given the constantly growing conflict between Beat Rider teams, as well as the Inves Game which became more viral than the dance competition itself. The question is, why?

"That's what wonders me though." Homura added. "Just how many Drivers out there?"

"And more importantly, why they distribute Sengoku Drivers at the first place? What is the purpose of Lockseeds' distribution?" Himeko wondered aloud. Why those things are sold freely throughout Mitakihara City? And why there's Inves Game?

"Well, something only Sid know." Homura figured out. "But I doubt he answered us why, aside 'to control conflict between Beat Riders'."

"Yeah, I found him a bit shady, though." Madoka nodded.

"Ditto." Sayaka added.

"By the way, guys, will ya help us clean up here? We need to re-decorate our base, you know." Osomatsu said.

"Sure!" Madoka answered as she and the newly arrived Gaimers moved to help Osomatsu triplets cleaning up the garage, with Himeko helping out as well.

Later the night at Ryouma's lab, he watched a footage of Gaim Suika Arms in action from his computer, excited to see what was going on. The data he got from the Sengoku Drivers was so satisfactory so far. Not to mention he gained some fascinating data of each Kamen Riders during the fights up to date. He had heard Sid had two Sengoku Drivers left to hand out. The time all Sengoku Drivers handed out, his research on them would be completed in no time. It brought the pleasure to him, and he couldn't wait for that.

"This colossal Arms... It shouldn't be used for Inves Game, so it couldn't be sold regularly." Ryouma noted. "But still, Akemi Homura really know how to use this big guy well. And thanks to her, I've gained some more valuable data."

"Looks like you have acquired some interesting data for you, Professor Ryouma." A voice spoke. The woman with short, wavy hair in her early twenties walked into the lab. She wore business suit like Chikane wore, but under black coat was white frilled blouse, and her skirt was slightly shorter than Chikane's. She was Professor Ryouma's assistant and secretary, Minato Youko.

Youko brought a cup of coffee onto Ryouma's desk. Hearing Ryouma got valuable data, Youko was pleased as well, and the secretary stood beside the professor, joining him to watch at Suika Arms' footage. The smile always attached on her face, as if she was happy when she was with Ryouma. She found the data of Suika Arms quite a satisfactory. It could lead for a next step for Ryouma's next project regarding "the new model".

"Oh, Minato-kun." Ryouma responded as he turned to her. "You see, this could be very intresting. Not to mention we'll having lot like this..."

"Of course, Professor." Youko nodded as she looked at encased Coconut Lockseed, a Lockseed with Mulberry design and "LS-29" Code: Kuwa Lockseed, a Lockseed with pumpkin design and "LS-35" code Kabocha Lockseed, And a Jackfruit Lockseed with spiky fruit like Durian's but colored a bit greener, as well as "LS-42" the tray on table next to his work desk. Youko picked up Coconut and Kuwa Lockseeds to take a closer examination on them. "These locks probably have similar capabilities like Suika Lockseed Subject 01 have, don't you agree?"

"Yeah." Ryouma nodded. "Those locks are for experimental use. There's no way it could be distributed commercially, especially in Inves Game."

"I wonder why, though." Youko sighed.

"I remember hearing Chikane-chan losing her Suika Lockseed." Ryouma elaborated. "She had sworn to put it right inside her briefcase. Someone might steal it without her noticing."

"You don't say that someone was Overseer Himemiya's sister, do you?" Youko asked with a smile.

"May or may not be." Ryouma answered. "Beside her, she has her personal maid, right?"

Soon, the monitor on Ryouma's computer changed into white screen with "QB, SOUND ONLY" text colored in red. Looks like someone or something wanted to talk with Ryouma, not bothering to show his face or where he was. He liked to remain secret and mysterious for unknown reason or purpose. Heseemed wanting to know about Ryouma's progress.

"Good evening, Professor Doctor Sengoku Ryouma, and Minato Youko." The mystrery guy greeted. "So how's the data collecting so far?"

"Greetings, QB. The data are quite fascinating to the most." Ryouma reported, referring this mystery guy as QB. Even though Ryouma knew who this guy was, he knew nothing but his name (or rather pseudonym) and voice. "I must say, this could be immediately used for mass-production purpose."

"Great. As expected." QB praised Ryouma for his brilliant work.

"Now to test Coconut, Kabocha, Jackfruit, and Kuwa. If all of them succeed, we can synthesize some more of them." Ryouma noted. "Also, synthesis of Energy Lockseed was success so far."

"Do continue." QB said. "Please keep an eye on the "Contracts". And make sure not to let Chikane and her lapdogs know about me."

"Though I appreciate it, I'm one of her lapdogs, after all." Ryouma shrugged, with sheepish grin on his face, seemingly unpleased to work under her, but he knew it was his job to research and develop Lockseeds, which came from Helheim.

"Then if you don't wanna be her lapdogs forever, do as I say. Tell Sid about this too." QB said.

"Sure. I'd let Sid know of that." Ryouma said as the monitor turned off. He sighed, wondering if Chikane would press him further with more jobs. It was stressing. He needed a bit of vacation, and sadly he barely get one during his job in Yggdrasil. But with Youko beside him, he didn't have to exert himself too much.

He then got up from the chair and walked to the table where the samples of Lockseeds were, and he took out the clear blue Lockseed with a lemon design and "ELS-01" code. He smirked as he now was few steps closer to advance into his new project, and now to finish the "new model".

"You sure look so happy, Professor. I'm glad." Youko said. For her, Professor Ryouma's joy was hers as well.

"Of course." Ryouma said as he tossed the lemon Lockseed and caught it back. "This is sure cutting my work out a bit."

Youko smiled at him, and as Ryouma walked out of his lab, she followed suit. On the work desk was a concept of Sengoku Driver with second Lockseed port...

The following day, it was the time, 4 PM At Mitakihara Stadium. Thousands of people set on the audience seats to see the awaited challenge of Gaim & Baron vs Souten & Red Hot, perpetrated by Ushiromiya Battler, leader of Team Souten. Battling on the arena were Akemi Homura of Team Gaim and Sakura Kyouko of Team Baron against Sonomura of Team Red Hot and Battler. Thousand pairs of excited eyes were eager to see the epic battle and what Souten would pull out against the Kamen Riders of renowned teams, especially with Red Hot on their side. Many expected this battle would be awesome, and some speculated that Souten and Red Hot got something surprising in this battle. From audience seats, Team Gaim watched Homura and Kyouko at the arena.

"I wonder what kind of surprise they pull off..." Sayaka sighed as she stretched her arms out of boredom, eager to see this event.

"Just prepare for the worst." Himeko noted.

"Hopefully that cake guy won't show up to ruin this moment." Kamijou said deadpanned.

"And don't forget those nut idiots, darling." Hitomi reminded with a chuckle, making fun of Nobita and Hideyoshi. "They may raid the battle somehow."

Madoka looked at her black-haired battling friend, hoping that she would be okay. This challenge was something they could take care of, but Madoka was worried what would Battler and Sonomura do. "God, please protect Homura-chan..." She prayed.

Meanwhile at nearby seats, Team Baron members also watched enthusiastly. Miwa was excited that he gained permission to "Cheat" again, while Ky, on the other hand was nervous about their leader, especially after her defeat from Gaim, Raid Wild-Invitto duet, and Bravo. He could only hope that wasn't yet another ashaming defeat, as if it happened so, Baron would lose their chance to regain first place.

"Man... This is bad, this is bad..." Ky muttered worried.

"Don't worry, Ky! She said if shit happens I can use these thing again!" Miwa beamed as he prepared his slingshot. "I miss old days..."

"True, but if either Souten or Red Hot spot you, it'll be worse for us!" Ky reminded about the drawbacks of cheating. It helps Kyouko to fight, but if it's exposed, Baron could bleed points as penalty. Not to mention that Ky used to play a part on the cheat, and he learned how bad it was hard way.

"Don't worry. I'm Team Baron's ninja after all!" Miwa proclaimed.

"BATTLER-SAMA~!" The fangirls squealed to their hearts' content, fully expressing their compassion towards their beloved Ushiromiya prodigy.

"But I wonder why would he partnered up with Sonomura?" One of the fangirls asked, obviously deadpanned at the Red Hot leader as he was blatant contrast of Battler. Although both of them share same personalities: hot-headed.

Homura stood up to face the challenge Battler had issued upon Gaim and Baron. She was determined to defend her team, where her friends were, and the place they belonged to. On the other hand, Kyouko stood up by Homura's side to ensure Team Baron's superiority and to get rid other competitors by widening gap between Baron and the third place, so they could claim the throne of champion once again smoothly. Against them were Battler and Sonomura. Fueled by his hatred towards Sanji Alfonso, Sonomura rose up from the experience in Le Charlotte, after the patissier stripped him of his supposed power, representing Red Hot. Battler, representing Souten, started up this challenge to see if Gaim was worthy to be in first place, as well as Baron whether they unyielded after Gaim stole the ranking peak from them. Whatever Sonomura and Battler did were something that the audiences couldn't turn away from, as they expected some "elements of surprise" he mentioned earlier.

"Alright, Ushiromiya, Sonomura." Kyouko remarked. "Show us what you all got."

Sonomura looked at Battler and shrugged in response, while Battler just simply looked back. They then turned their attention back to Homura and Kyouko, preparing for the surprise, much to everyone's anticipation.

"Alright, if ya want it badly." Sonomura scoffed.

"You better prepare some oxygen tank after this!" Battler quipped, as both he and Sonomura pulled out... blank Sengoku Drivers?! Everyone at the stadium gasped in shock, surprised; and that included Team Gaim and Baron, and their Riders as well. Now that Battler advised to get some oxygen tank so that whoever ran out of breath from the shock could inhale some oxygen. It could make sense why, because the challenge was their set up debut as Kamen Riders!

"What the-?!" Osomatsu triplets gawked in unison.

"Oh no!" Himeko gasped, shocked that her prediction was true.

"The heck?!" Ky gawked.

"So that's the "shit" she meant!" Miwa realized. Looks like he understood reason why to allow him to cheat again, and she already predicted that. "That's why she asked me to use these again!"

"Surprised?" Battler inquired. "Now you can save your time to fight rather than staring at us."

"Now you guys will be as good as dead!" Sonomura boasted as both he and Battler put on their Sengoku Drivers. After the belt materialized, the profile pictures appeared on their respective belts.

For Battler, it had a picture of a green helmet similar to Ryugen's, except it had tealish blue mouthpiece, fanged black jaw piece, as well as black stripes on the cheek and forehead, making the helmet resembled a tiger, as opposed as Ryugen's dragon theme. For Sonomura, it had yellow helmet resembling a pirate of some sort, with the eyes looked like either scarred eyes or eyepatches, with the red jagged jaw piece, making it looked like beard. The mouthpiece was silver in color, and the skull relief on the forehead with a small dot on its forehead.

"How did they-?!" Homura gawked as she saw the challengers put on their belt. As far as she knew, Sid never gave belts to anyone, except for certain people who he deemed worthy. Now that number of Kamen Riders swelling up to eleven (pardon the pun), of course this was quite of challenge for her and Team Gaim to maintain their position at the first place.

"I see. So that's the surprise ya wanna show to us." Kyouko pointed out as she took out her Sengoku Driver. "And that makes sense why you started this shit at the first place."

"BATTLER-SAMA~!" The fangirls squealed as they realized what their worshipped idol was about to do.

"Thank you! Thank you very much!" Battler yelled at the fangirls as he blowed them kisses, making them stunned and fainted in joy as they cooed like maidens in love. They just couldn't stand when their beloved idol gave them some "fanservice". What a lucky bastard.

"Tsk, just get this over with, will ya?" Homura muttered, sweatdropped by Battler's action.

"After I'm done with you bitches, I'll get on the cake dude!" Sonomura said.

"Say what?!" Kyouko responded as she was about to get closer to the Red Hot leader after his insult towards her and Homura, but Homura held her to stop her, so the redhead Baron leader could calm down.

"Hopefully you won't underestimate us. We're in different level from Nobby and Yossy." Battler remarked as he pulled out Lime Lockseed, while Sonomura pulled out a Lockseed with design of cherry and "LS-24" code, Cherry Lockseed.

"Henshin!" Both Battler and Sonomura exclaimed as they unlocked their Lockseeds.

LIME! / CHERRY!

The zipper portals appeared above both challengers, revealing cherry to Sonomura, and Lime to Battler. They then posed in their own ways. Sonomura juggled his Lockseed as if it was a basketball, while Battler twirled his Lockseed in his index finger before tossing it up to the air, catching it as it fell. Both challenging team leaders then set up their locks.

LOCK ON!

Sonomura's belt played the same standby music as Kyouko and Nobita's, while Battler's played like Himeko and Kamijou's. Everyone on the stage gasped at this, as they realized they were about to transform.

"It can't be...!" Sayaka gasped in shock.

"More... Kamen Riders?!" Madoka muttered, equally shocked.

"You can't be kidding me...!" Ky muttered.

"BATTLER-SAMA, GANBARE~!" The fangirls cheered as they went even crazier as they saw their worshipped figure was about to transform, struck by awe and shock at same time. Now their idol was about to kick a couple of butts with Sonomura, they must anticipate the best from him.

Battler and Sonomura cut their locks open, and...

HAI~H! / COME ON!

The cherry fell over Sonomura and coating him with yellow and silver bodysuit similar to Baron and Gridon's, while the lime fell over Battler to coat him with gray-and-black bodysuit with teal linings, similar to Ryugen's except the fire-like insignia on the loincloth was replaced by Mandala-like markings.

LIME ARMS! / CHERRY ARMS!

Under the lime, Battler gained a gray helmet resembling a Chinese warrior, with tealish blue mouthpiece, and a pair of compound eyes similar to that of Ryugen's. It had fanged black jaw piece, as well as black stripes on the cheek and forehead, making the helmet resembling a tiger. Then, a lime slice slid in, giving the bug eyes green color and lime slices in both compound eyes, as well as headpieces similar to that of worn by Hindu deities.

Under the cherry, Sonomura gained a yellow helmet resembling a pirate of some sort, with eyepatch-like visors. Then, a cherry slice slid in, coloring the visor red, and gaining a headpiece similar to that of pirate's hat.

The Cherry opened, and the cherry fruitlets moved onto shoulders, and the stem folded, attached to back. The back and front folded out onto place, and the chest piece from inside the cherry attached into the back of cherry's front, forming a chestpiece. Upon transforming, Sonomura gained a cutlass and a flintlock like pistol with cherry designs.

Meanwhile, The lime opened, and it folded similarly to Gaim's Orange Arms, except that the shoulder armors had arm-like appendages complete with hands poking out of the upper side of shoulder armor, appearing as if they held them. Each shoulder plates had two of these hands. The chest armor had design similar to Ryugen's except the orb was singular, and mandala-like markings was inside it. Upon transforming, Battler gained a pair of handheld katars with lime slices as the blades.

RAI, MU! HAI-YAH! / MIGHTY PLUNDERER! ARGH, MATEY!

After Battler and Sonomura's transformation, the audiences gasped in awe, while Battler's fangirls squealed even louder and crazier, as they further went gaga over Asura, whom they look as cool figure. Homura and Kyouko was astounded to see this tranformation. Spectating Gaimers and Barons gasped as they became further shocked, with Miwa and Osomatsu triplets gaped their mouth speechless.

"What?!" Sayaka gasped.

"No way!" Madoka gawked.

"EH?! CHERRY AND LIME?! CHERRY AND- CHERRY LIME?!" Ky gawked as he pointed at Asura, with the same effect as his shock expression during Baron's first transformation played for Beat Riders Hotline.

"I'm... Kamen Rider Asura!" Battler proclaimed as he thriumpanthly posed with his katars, Limettars.

"And I'm... Kamen Rider Viscount!" Sonomura proclaimed as he posed by twirling his flintlock Cereztol and placing the cutlass Cherrsher over his shoulder.

The self-naming of the Riders was pretty much cool and appropriate, unlike in the debut of Kurokage and Gridon. The audience welcomed their self-proclamation with cheers and applauses, proudly welcoming them into the board. But that wasn't time for Homura and Kyouko to celebrate, as they had to prepare themselves as well. They put on their respective Sengoku Drivers and activated their starting Lockseeds.

"Henshin!" Both Homura and Kyouko exclaimed as they unlocked their Lockseeds.

ORANGE! / BANANA!

As the fruits appeared above them, Homura and Kyouko posed in their ways before setting up their locks and activating their Arms.

LOCK ON!

SOIYA! / COME ON!

The fruits fell over their respective summoners, transforming them into Gaim and Baron.

ORANGE ARMS! / BANANA ARMS!

HANAMICHI ON STAGE! / KNIGHT OF SPEAR~!

"So, what we gonna do, partner?" Viscount asked as he poked Asura with his elbow.

"Simple. We're gonna flip the chessboard!" Asura answered, and the fangirls squealed again, as they heard Battler's familiar catchphrase: "Flip the chessboard". The squeals of fangirls were getting into Baron and Gaim's nerves, annoyed.

"JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP, WILL YA?!" Baron roared at the fangirls. "And what's so special about this flirty squirt?!"

"Being rude to Battler-sama means blasphemy!" One of the fangirls roared.

"Yeah!" Another fangirl added.

"Now, now. Leave this trash mouth to me." Asura said, calming them down. "I'll give her lesson, in hard way."

"Aww, Battler-sama~..." The fangirls cooed loud. And this further annoyed Gaim and Baron. They almost lost their composure, and if they pushed too far, they would explode in anger. They almost reached their limits of patience.

"You got some nerve calling me trash mouth, Ushiromiya." Baron scoffed. "I'll make you regret to the hell for this."

"Alright, let's flip the chessboard!" Viscount cheered.

"And this is our stage now!" Asura proclaimed as he pointed one of Limettars at Gaim.

"Hey! Don't you dare!" Gaim snarked as she pointed at the lime Rider, annoyed that Asura stole her catchphrase.

"What's wrong? Sonny's fine to use my catchphrase, Gaimy." Asura replied. "Or maybe I should call you Hommy? Oh, whatever. En garde!"

As Asura started, Both he and Viscount charged at Gaim and Baron respectively, and both opponents began wielding their weapons, mostly evading or parrying each other's strikes. Gaim first slashed with Daidaimaru, only to be evaded by Asura and countered with a jab with his katar. The lime Rider then kicked Gaim at her gut, pushing her back. He then charged to her again, only for Gaim to counter him with Iaijutsu-styled Musou Saber slash. She then charged at Asura and they began clashing their weapons, before Gaim brought Asura to a lockdown, dragging him away.

Meanwhile with Baron and Viscount, they were clashing each other's weapons as well. Baron ducked Viscount's slash and jabbed him with Banaspear's pommel. She then continued with quick thrust, only to be caught by Viscount and getting shot from point blank range with his flintlock gun, stumbling her.

"Tsk... You asshole..." Baron groaned as she stood up, unpleased by Viscount's trick.

"You never seen this technique before, eh? Baron Skank?!" Viscount asked with an insult, which obviously annoyed her even more.

"Not to break your muse, but I have!" Gaim replied as she set her Musou Saber into Gun mode and shot Viscount from distance, flinching him. She then turned her attention back to Asura as he tried to swat with his katar, blocked by Gaim's Musou Saber and shot, flinching him.

"Hey! That's cheating!" Asura complained.

"Like Sonomura don't." Baron scoffed.

"C'mon! I can do better than that!" Viscount taunted as he charged at Baron again. He ducked a spear swat and threw a jab intended to her gut, although missed, so the Knight of Spear could knee his gut. She then thrusted Viscount with her lance few times, stumbling him away.

"Fine, hard way then!" Viscount barked as he aimed his gun at Baron, attempting to shoot her, but was dodged. Viscount then sent barrages of shots all around Baron, and the red knight Rider had to do her best to dodge it. She already got her hands full from evading those wild shots, plus the fact she hadn't any Lockseeds that grant her with weapon with long range attack capability. Baron extended the lance and sliced her lock once.

COME ON! BANANA SQUASH!

As the Banaspear charged up with energy banana imbued it, Baron threw the lance at Viscount, knocking him off as the explosion occurred upon impact. However, that wasn't enough to defeat him, and he was still able to fight as the armors were barely damaged. He barely get injured from the attack, and stood up as if it was nothing.

"Woah, woah, woah, skanky. You just wasted a good weapon." Viscount chuckled mockingly.

"Really? This is just the beginning!" Baron responded as she pulled out a set of Lockseeds: two Matsubokkuri, a Donguri, and a Kinkan. After Baron unlocked the locks, three Elementary Inves with different colors and a Shika Inves appeared from the zipper portal. Although Baron now had no weapon, the Inves could compensate it. By controlling those Inves Baron might gained an advantage in numbers, and this could corner Viscount for a while.

BATTLE, START!

"Get him!" As the ring barrier generated, Baron ordered the Inves to assault him at once. First, Viscount dodged red elementary Inves' swipe, and he blocked blue Inves' rakes. Then, he freed from the lock and kicked it off. He then slashed the green Inves behind him. Soon, Shika Inves rammed Viscount off guard, stumbling him off.

"Just because you can summon Inves doesn't mean you can outmatch me!" Viscount roared as he slashed incoming blue Inves, and he shot green Inves beside him. The red Inves came and caught him, twisted his arms behind his back. Shika Inves ran in high speed to Viscount and the Inves released him just before the deer Inves rammed him, sending him flying to the ring's barrier, tumbling down. While the Inves was busy with the cherry Rider, Baron picked up the Banaspear and charged at him. Baron lunged to swat Viscount, which he evaded. She then blocked Viscount's slash and when he was about to shoot her in the same way as earlier, a blue Inves came, prompting the pirate-themed Rider to shoot it instead. Then, he kicked Baron off and slashed incoming red Inves. Viscount then shot all Inves rapidly, destroying most of them, save for Shika Inves which was Evolved Inves, more durable compared to Elementary Inves.

"What the hell?!" Baron muttered, shocked that most of her Inves got decimated.

"A big mistake to think you can defeat me with your petty Inves!" Viscount boasted as he fired his Cereztol, which she blocked. He then charged at Baron, bringing both of their melee weapons locked. "They're even barely making me sweat!"

Back with Gaim and Asura, they still exchanging blows and parries. Gaim started with a slash, but Asura parried it with both Katars, knocking it off Gaim's hand before slashed her repeatedly and jabbed her some more. He then continued by throwing both katars at Gaim, further stumbling her off. As Gaim tried to get back on her feet, the katars returned to Asura, like a boomerang.

"He's so powerful..." Gaim muttered. "No wonder why he's named Ushiromiya Battler."

"That's just half of my power!" Asura boasted. "If I show you my full power, then you'd stand no chance. I'm just warming myself up."

"Warming up, huh?" Gaim huffed. "Then I am as well!" She exclaimed as she pulled out an Ume Lockseed.

UME!

The purple plum appeared from the zipper portal above Gaim, and as she replaced the lock, the Orange Arms vanished.

LOCK ON!

SOIYA!

UME ARMS!

After cutting the lock open, the giant plum fell over Gaim. The tops of plum split into two, folding together with the sides to form shoulder armor similar to Orange Arms, except the plum top halves covering her shoulder. The back simply folded onto Gaim's back, while the front folded together with the connected chestpiece from inside the plum, forming a chestplate with yellow arc resembling flesh of plum. Gaim's helmet gained puffed purple back helmet resembling bandit's bandanna and a pair of hollow earpieces merged with the bandanna. Upon transformation, Gaim gained a Kanabo, a long mace with spiked end. This kanabo was mainly purple in color, and yellow spikes shaped like plum slices.

GEKIMETSU DEATHBLOW!

"This is our stage now!" Gaim, now in Ume Arms, exclaimed as she ran to Asura while bringing the kanabo, Ume Kanabo double-handed. As if to express her grudge to Battler for stealing her catchphrase, Gaim swung the spiked mace at him with full power, but the lime Rider was quick enough to respond the attack, evading it. He then jabbed his Limettars, only to be blocked by Gaim's kanabo, and knocked off as she swung it. She then proceeded to beat him hard a couple times and lifted the mace over her head before swung it down with full force, desicively beating Asura down.

"Well, well... you did well." Asura remarked as he stood up. "But not good enough!"

Asura then charged back at Gaim, charging his katars up with energy lime slices, throwing volleys of lime slice-shaped sonic booms as he approached. Gaim managed to block and deflect some, but it was only the opening for Asura so he had a chance to strike her back. While Gaim's Ume Kanabo enhanced field of defense, it slowed her down a little, granted the slightly heavy mace. It could give some gap between moves due to this, so Asura saw that as the right moment to strike. On the contrary, Asura moved a bit nimbler due to his light lime armor, and the lighter katar weapons, fitting his fast-tempo close-up fighting style. These were his advantage with the speed and ability to send quick combos.

As Gaim got her moves lagged a bit due to all the sonic boom blocking, Asura could land several quick jabs and slashes at her, and he finished the combo with a jumping, spinning slash, knocking her back. Fortunately, Gaim could retaliate with the long mace of hers, using it as stand. Even though her kanabo was a bit heavy, her armor wasn't as heavy as her weapon. When the Arms lacked speed due to sluggish weapon and the weight of armor couldn't make it, the weapon gave the user more balance.

Gaim then charged at Asura and missed Asura a swing, and the Chinese-themed Rider jumped to evade another swing. Asura then threw another lime sonic boom at her, and got blocked again. Gaim attached the hilt of Ume Kanabo onto Musou Saber's, combining them to form Ume Kanabo Sodegarami Mode, resembling a sodegarami, a spiked armpole used to capture suspects in Japan's Edo Era. This weapon became a bit heavier due to addition of Musou Saber, so she have to wield it with the Musou Saber end reversed.

Gaim rushed and swung the kanabo end of the sodegarami-like weapon and missed as he ducked, and the she dodged a jab from Asura, proceeding to reload Musou Saber's ammo, shoting him. The lime Rider dodged the shot, and he rolled aside to dodge another shot before sending Gaim another sonic boom. Gaim spun her weapon to deflect the sonic boom, and then she moved the Ume Lockseed from her belt into Musou Saber.

LOCK ON!

ICHI (1), JYU (10), HYAKU (100), SEN (1000), MAN (10000)!

UME CHARGE!

"Take this!" Gaim roared as she slashed the air with Musou Saber end, sending plum slice-like sonic booms, trapping Asura inside a flaming energy plum. She then twirled the weapon by the kanabo end of Ume Kanabo Sodagarami mode, and the spiked plum slices on the kanabo grew sharper and slightly bigger.

"Eat this!" Gaim yelled as she rushed at Asura, whacking the energy plum with the kanabo, bursting it with an explosion and plum juices. As the result, Asura stumbled off, with his armor smoked. However, despite his armor smoked and some of them damaged with some parts of his suit torn, it was surprising that he wasn't reverted out of his transformation after being bombarded with such powerful attack. Battler was truly made of iron, to endure such strong attack. And of course, the spectators gasped at this, surprised.

"H-he just took that heavy blow..." Osomatsu said.

"...As if it was nothing!" Karamatsu continued.

"He's made of iron!" Choromatsu finished.

"Woah, what a blast." Asura remarked as he dusted his armor as if that finisher was nothing. "So I've to go full power then!" He continued as he sliced his lock three times.

HAI~H! LIME SPARKING!

Asura then clapped his hand together before posing like a meditating Hindu hermit. Suddenly, the shoulder armors of Lime Arms unfolded, revealing two pairs of arms. The "hands" on Asura's shoulder armors began to fold out, until he got four additional mechanic arms on his armor! Four arms on Lime Arms? (Pardon for the pun, again) Also, each additional hand gained a copy of his Limettar!

"What?!" Gaim gawked, surprised at this sudden change.

"Eeeeeh?!" Madoka gawked, equally surprised that Battler had trick in his sleeves.

"Th-that..." Sayaka muttered as she pointed at Asura, now having six arms. This brought something into Sayaka's mind. Something that she didn't want to remember. Something very unpleasant. "T-T-T... Tentacle... r-r-rape..." Sayaka remembered having watched a video about tentacle hentai after clicking a link given from someone in a social networking site whose (unknown to her) account got hacked, out of curiosity, and she didn't take it well. She became traumatized since then, and it forever burned into her memories. Sayaka then collapsed soon after.

"Sayaka?! Hey, Sayaka?!" Hitomi gawked as she tried to wake her friend up. Other Gaim members also startled from this incident. Team Baron couldn't care less and Battler's fangirls squealed even louder, and went crazier. Not to mention there were cheerleaders among them too.

"Well, honestly I'm surprised myself, too." Asura noted. Now he had a reason why he named himself Asura, as it was named after a Hindu deity with six arms. With those four extra arms, it seemed appropriate naming-wise.

"Go, go! Battler-sama!" The cheerleaders cheered as they pranced for their idol and crush. This gave Asura a bit of morale boost, while Viscount, Gaim, and Baron just ignored them.

Somewhere on the stadium, at the entrance to audience seats, Nobita and Hideyoshi, now in Gridon and Kurokage suits watched the match sneakily. Both nut Riders saw this moment as right time to strike, now the things goes bad for both Asura and Viscount, or at least they thought. Not to mention by taking down Baron and Gaim they could gain big boost of rankings.

"Good. Now Sonomura and Battler got their butts kicked..." Kurokage figured.

"Not yet, Yossy. Battler just showed his "true power"." Gridon noted.

"I can't wait to barge in, really." Kurokage said, eager to jump right away into battle. The nut Riders didn't fight since their shameful defeat in hands of Bravo. That is, until...

"Ho-HOHOHOHO!" Suddenly, they heard a sound of laugh, seemingly familiar from the tone. They turned around... to see Bravo there! Much to their surprise.

"Heck?! That gay again?!" Kurokage gawked, shocked.

"You amateurs want to blow up this beautiful fight, I presume?" Bravo inquired.

"Well, er... I didn't wanna-" Gridon wanted to make an excuse so Bravo could believe, but...

"Liar! It's obvious you used your Armor when you're outside of audience seat! If you come to watch you should sit at the seat!" Bravo retorted as he pointed his Durinoko at Gridon. "Now time to ground you!"

"Huh?" Kurokage gawked.

Not long after, Kurokage and Gridon were thrown out of stadium, stumbling on the parking lot. Bravo then appeared from the stadium's entrance. Apparently, Bravo kicked those nut Riders out for trying to interfere the fight supposed to be theirs. While he hated the Beat Riders as amateurs know-nothing about combat, he appreciated the battling Riders on the arena for fighting fair and square. Anybody wanted to butt into the fight were unforgivable.

"That's for trying to interlope a fight, i-di-ot! Adieu!" Bravo bid as he returned to the stadium. Kurokage and Gridon just stared at him, with their mouth gaped under their helmet, speechless.

"Well, let's just go away." Kurokage advised as he and Gridon stood up, leaving the stadium area. They had to forget about their plan of raiding the arena, afraid of Bravo kicking them out again.

Back at Baron, Shika Inves, and Viscount, the cherry Rider dodged Shika's ram, and Baron welcomed him with a spear swat. After getting swatted, Viscount got himself pummeled repeatedly by Shika Inves before got caught and kneed him at his gut, throwing him to Baron so she could attack him with ease. After stumbling from the attack, Viscount waved his hand to give his partner Asura, who was handling Gaim, a signal.

Asura on the other hand, was giving quick, continuous blows at Gaim who guarded with her kanabo-katana hybrid weapon. While the lime Rider's combo rate went higher due to additional arms, Gaim brought all of her concentration to block all those blows, although with those many attacks, it would be hectic for her. And as he saw the "Gap", Asura punched Gaim at her face before finally knocking her weapon off, and then sending her several flurries of Limettar punches, knocking her off. He then noticed Viscount giving him signal, and he nodded in response.

"Haaaaah!" Asura roared as he charged toward the ring barrier, and then he punched the barrier with all six arms at once, and the ring shattered! Gaim was astounded as she saw him do the same thing she had done when she helped Ryugen fight after her withdrawal from her defeat by Zangetsu.

"Phew, that was close!" Viscount sighed in relief that his partner helped him. "I'm almost rammed all around by Baron Skank's Inves! Thanks, Battler!"

"No prob." Asura replied as he patted Viscount's shoulder.

"Call me skank again, and you're dead." Baron threatened as she held up her Ume Lockseed. "Get 'em!"

By Baron's order, Shika Inves charged at Viscount again, and then it swatted him some more, only to be blocked with his cutlass. Asura then came in to aid Viscount with a jab, and then he slashed the deer Inves a couple of times before kicking it off, while Viscount sliced his lock once.

COME ON! CHERRY SQUASH!

"Take this, son of bitch!" Viscount roared as he fired a pair of cherry-like energy bullets before slashing the air to create slashing beam projectile with the cherry bullets connected to its both ends, making an energy cherry fruit. After the slashing stemmed part of cherry hit Shika Inves, the cherry bullets folded into Shika Inves, detonating onto and destroying it.

"Damn you...!" Baron growled as she witnessed her last Inves destroyed. Now that all of her Inves decimated, Baron had to take on Viscount and Asura with her sworn rival. The medieval knight-themed Rider then charged at Asura, exchanging parries. While she mostly took offensive action, Asura's multiple arms improved his defense, so he was able to block most of her attacks, and then he knocked her lance off before jabbed Baron multiple times with speed barely seen by a naked eye, like gatling gun shots. Asura then finished the combo with giving her a powerful straight, strong enough to send her flying and stumbling soon after.

"Boss!" Ky shouted, worried at his boss as he watched Baron got mauled mercilessly. This was the right time for Miwa to do something Kyouko wanted him to. Miwa ran away to the stadium hall. At the hall, he aimed his slingshot at Asura, loaded with a metal ball contained inside chestnut fruit. In case of safety, he wore double plastic gloves with the outer glove oiled to prevent the spikes of chestnut hurt his hand.

"Don't worry, I'll help you, Kyouko-san!" Miwa said as he shot the slingshot. The slingshot then propelled the chestnut, flying away to... Asura's butt?! Of course, despite he wore a suit, that chestnut still could pierce into his skin. Not to mention the metal ball with appropriate size to chestnut's shell was contained inside it, adding force to the shot, thus enabling the spikes to pierce through the suit upon landing. Cue sudden hurt.

"OW-OW-OW-OW!" Asura moaned in pain at his butt. He then took the chestnut out, and looked it with disdain. Asura learned that he got cheated by someone or something.

"Yes!" Miwa silently cheered as he got his shot hit Asura at the "Critical point". When Asura turned around to see the cheater, Miwa hid away, and then sneakily returned to his seat.

"Shit. Those laggers." Asura groaned as he threw away the chestnut. Unpleased and angered by the dirty (but necessary) trick, Asura growled and gripping all the Limettars tighter, and then he let out a berserker roar, exploding his wrath to the maximum level! Asura charged at Baron, and just when she was about to strike back, Gaim covered her to block all those furious flurry of Limettar blows, and break the combo by shooting him at his face, flinching him. This gave Baron a bit of room to give lesson to Viscount he would never forget for calling her 'skank' and messing with her Inves.

COME ON! BANANA AU LAIT!

After slicing her lock twice, Baron rose the Banaspear up high to the air, and the giant energy banana appeared on Banaspear. She then swung the spear down to have the giant banana hit Viscount, hitting him with clear strike, resulting an explosion. From the explosion, Sonomura stumbled and reverted to normal, and his Cherry Lockseed flew to Baron's hand.

"Hmph, serves you right." Baron scoffed as she looked at the claimed Cherry Lockseed. However, she got her guard down as Asura charged in and sliced his lock twice.

HAI~H! LIME AU LAIT~!

Asura came in and rained Baron with furious flurry of Limettar stabs of anger, unleashing sheer relentless rage at Baron who defeated Viscount. Baron kept receiving volleys of punches and stabs, steadily breaking her armor and with those blurry speed, there was no way for her to strike back. Just as Asura was about to finish her off, until Gaim beat him from behind with Ume Kababo end of sodegarami-like weapon, breaking Asura's combo.

"Y'okay, Kyouko?!" Gaim asked as she hurried to nearly injured Baron.

"I've felt worse." Baron answered.

"Here, use this!" Gaim offered as she threw a Pine Lockseed at Baron.

"Fine with me. Let's try this out." Baron cynically responded as she unlocked the Lockseed.

PINE!

As the pineapple appeared above Baron, she replaced the regular Banana with borrowed Pine.

LOCK ON!

COME ON!

After slicing the Lock, Baron's Banana Arms vanished, and the pineapple fell over her in its place, forming Pine Arms and arming her with Pine Iron.

PINE ARMS! FUNSAI DESTROY!

After changed into Pine Arms, Baron flailed the Pine Iron at Asura to hit the mechanical Arms and stripping him of them, rendering him less armed. Now with the mechanic arms gone, Asura had to take care of Baron and Gaim with only his both hands. But that's not it. Baron threw the meteor hammer and have it wrap around the Lime-armored Rider, restraining him. Now was right moment to strike as Asura struggled to break free, with no avail.

"Now, Akemi!" Baron told.

"Right!" Gaim nodded as she returned the Ume Lockseed back to Sengoku Driver, and sliced the lock once.

SOIYA! UME SQUASH!

As the energy plum concentrated at the spiked end of Ume Kanabo, Gaim took a decisive finishing stance before rushing at him. Asura still struggled with the ropes, but he realized it was too late for him to break free as Gaim now was about to finish him off. Gaim beat him a couple of times before setting it down at Musou Saber end.

"Haaaaa... SEI-HAAAAH!" Gaim let out a battle cry as she sent double feet sidekick at him while gripping on the kanabo-katana weapon hybrid as support, kicking him off. Asura then cackled in green sparks before exploded, stumbled off as he reverted back to Battler.

"Yosha!" Gaim cheered as she caught the flying Lime Lockseed. Upon seeing this event, the spectators cheered with applauses, cheering for Gaim and Baron, while Battler's fangirls lowered their head in depression and shame that their idol and crush defeated badly. With that, the tag team match won by Team Gaim and Team Baron!

"Yatta! She did it!" Madoka cheered as she hugged Himeko, other Gaim members cheered for their ace as well. Sayaka then regained her consciousness, looking around, dumbfounded what had happened.

"You're great, boss!" Ky cheered. If it weren't for Miwa, she would've ended bad in Asura's hands. Miwa just smiled at Ky with peace sign.

"Magnifique." Bravo commented from the entrance hall.

Back at the arena, Sonomura and Battler got up and retrieved their respective Sengoku Drivers. Gaim and Baron then reverted to their civilian forms.

"You just get lucky, skanks!" Sonomura barked at the girls, irked of his defeat.

"Don't even you dare!" Kyouko retorted as she pointed at Sonomura.

"Remember this, Hommy and Anko! We'll be back!" Battler growled.

"It's Kyouko, you fucking IDIOT!" Kyouko roared in response, annoyed that Battler called her "Anko". True, from her name in kanji people often misread it as "Anko", and she didn't take it well.

"We'll be back!" Battler shouted as he and Sonomura ran away from the arena. Now with those challengers defeated and gone, Homura and Kyouko could breath easy.

"Thanks, Kyouko. It was good team up." Homura smiled as she offered her a hand for handshake, only for Kyouko to slap it, refusing the offer.

"Don't be mistaken." Kyouko scoffed as she walked away. "I'm just here to strengthen our position back."

"Kyouko, you..." Homura muttered. Despite Kyouko telling her true intention of teaming up with her, Homura couldn't care less and still thinking about the redhead having helped her, much less the hardship she had to bear from falling from the first place. She could understand that it was inevitable, but with Gaim and Baron now became rivaled teams, Homura could only wonder what Kyouko will do to further oppose her old friends. However, she wanted Kyouko being together with the team back so much, at least as herself. The question is, why did Kyouko antagonize her former team so much? Is it because of her pursuit of strength that changed her so much?

"After I'm done with those idiots, You're the next." Kyouko said as she stopped and turned at the black-haired girl, tossing the Pine Lockseed back at Homura before turning back and walked away, leaving the arena.

"Kyouko, you're still going on that, huh?" Homura asked.

"Kyouko-chan..." Sayaka muttered, pondering how to change Kyouko back to her old self. She was a bit saddened that Kyouko kept opposing her and the team, now really turned her back on Team Gaim.

"YA-HOO!" DJ Sagara began the show, showcasing the footage of Gaim & Baron vs Asura & Viscount. "Souten's Ushiromiya Battler issued a tag-team challenge, so he and Red Hot's Sonomura could make their debut as Kamen Riders, calling themselves Asura and Viscount! Asura's wrath almost pinned Gaim with his six arms of fury, and Viscount's got showy in the fight, like certain pirates we know! Arrrrgh! Unfortunately for them, Gaim and Baron managed to outwit them and got... DECIMATED! So, Gaim stayed in first place with Baron still tailing in second place! And slight downfall for Souten and Red Hot! Also, someone spotted Gridon and Kurokage trying to raid the fight and stir it off, And got kicked out by Bravo!"

At team ranking board, Souten slid down to 4th place, while Red Hot slid down to 7th place, with Raid Wild at 6th and Invitto at 5th. Now with the rankings slightly altered, Popup gained 3rd place, and the other teams with no Kamen Riders still remained at bottom of rankings.

"From now on, you won't peel your eyes away!" DJ Sagara finished the announcement with a hammy catchphrase.

---

In Team Popup base, the team members, consisted of entirely females with exactly all-white uniform were having leisure break. Tomomi was playing a PS3 video game with Hitomi, while other members were snacking on the snack corner. Outside the base were two team members. One was a girl with short, two-toned hair with black and yellow, and another was a girl with her brown hair tied in a bun. They were Kaori Nagura and Chisato Akita respectively.

"Hey, Kaori-senpai, do you miss Yurika-senpai so much?" Chisato asked about their former leader and missing member, Yurika Hirokawa.

"Yep, Chisato." Kaori answered. "I wonder where she had left..."

"She said that she went to Drupers after called out by Sid. She said she got an offer for "secret weapon"..." Chisato reminded.

"Probably that Sengoku Driver everyone talked about." Kaori figured. "I mean, do you heard of "distorted dimension" thing? I just hoped that she didn't hop into there."

"I hope so..." Chisato sighed.

Somewhere, deep under Mitakihara city, there was a dark cave of some sort. A beastly red reptilian eye opened as the only visible object in the dark. It looked around the cave, before a dragon head of some sort silhouetted in dark where the eye was, rose upwards, and let out a savage roar.

"GRAAAAAAAOOOOOOOO!"

(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.)

(Gaim was seen battling a horde of Elementary Inves around her. After few slashing and hacking, Gaim kneeled exhausted.)

SID'S LOCKSEED CATALOGUE

At Sid's studio, the Lock Dealer sat on a sofa as usual. He was snacking at french fries with a bratwurst wiener. He then turned at the loyal readers who waited for him to start the Lockseed review.

"Yo there, readers. Back with me, Sid. Today, I'll introduce these guys." Sid greeted as he took out three Lockseeds: Ume, Cherry, and Lime.

"First is LS-23 Ume." Sid introduced the first lock as the LCD TV above him showed an image of Ume Lockseed, both locked and unlocked. "This Lockseed is an A-Class Lockseed. One of this lock was found by Homura back in Chapter 4, before getting mauled by Zangetsu. Another is possessed by Kyouko, used to summon Kamikiri Inves in Chapter 7 and Shika Inves in this chapter. When used with Sengoku Driver it gains you..."

UME ARMS! GEKIMETSU DEATHBLOW!

"Ume Arms!" Sid finished as the image of Gaim Ume Arms and Ume Kanabo appeared, replacing previous image. "This Arms, while not as heavy as Pine Arms, the weapon, Ume Kanabo is just that heavy. It won't slow you down unless you bring the heavy ass club. While it's heavy, the spikes gave boost to its offensive power, and if you handle them well, you'll hardly get it knocked off your hand. You can also use it as stand pole for spinning kick attacks! You can combine Ume Kanabo and Musou Saber to form Ume Kanabo Sodegarami Mode, although it can't be used to catch enemies like in Edo Period. The finisher for this Arms is Sodegarami Musou Smasher, where you trap your enemy like Orange Arms' Naginata Musou Slicer, except that you smash the energy fruit hard with the club! Another finisher is Ume Jitensha Gaeshi, where you spun at Ume Kanabo as stand pole before sending your enemy a kick or two."

"The next is LS-24 Cherry!" Sid introduced the second lock as the image of Cherry Lockseed replaced the previous image. "This Lockseed is A-Classed like any other fruit-based Lockseed. Sonomura bought one from me, packed with Sengoku Driver. I wonder he bought it over his grudge towards someone who took Durian Lockseed and his supposed Sengoku Driver, now became Bravo's. Speaking of Cherry, I've some surprise for ya, but I'll save it for future chapters. Alright. Let's use this guy on Sengoku Driver."

CHERRY ARMS! MIGHTY PLUNDERER! ARGH, MATEY!

"Here we go! Cherry Arms!" Sid said as the images of Viscount Cherry Arms, Cherrsher and Cereztol appeared, replacing previous one. "This Arms grants you not only one weapons, but TWO weapons at once! The Arms itself, I can say, balanced like other default Arms. With two weapons, this Arms is somewhat versatile in combat. The finisher is Cherry Anchor, where he shoots two cherry fruits and creating slashing beam to make them an energy cherry. Then, the beam strike at enemy like a ramming ship, and it "anchored" so the cherries folded in to detonate, and then... boom! He's dead."

"The last is LS-27 Lime Lockseed." Sid introduced the last lock as the image of Lime Lockseed appeared, replacing the previous image. "Another A-Class Lock, and one of premiums. Battler bought it from me after he made an appointment. And it was in a pack with Sengoku Driver, of course. Let's see what can it do when used in Sengoku Driver..."

LIME ARMS! RAI, MU! HAI-YAH!

"Here we go, Lime Arms!" Sid said as the image of Asura Lime Arms and Limettar replacing the previous image. Also, there was an image of Asura with four additional hands. "This Arms grant light, but durable armor! Also, it gains the user access of a pair of Limettars, the katars. By activating Sparking function, he can summon four extra arms, and four more Limettars! You can pretend as if you're Ashura with that Arms, and you can send quick and unrelenting combo! Finisher for this Arms is Furious Volley, where the user sends flurry of Limettar stabs, and to mess your enemy up. And then, finished with a powerful strike!"

Then the image disappeared as the TV turned off, and now it's time for Sid to bid the readers goodbye.

"Alright, that's it for today." Sid finished. "Don't forget to read, review, follow, and favourite. Please support Pega-Rider for this story. Also, if you haven't noticed, SOPA thingy start to regenerate like pests in your houses. This is really annoying, eh? So, in order to continue making fanfics, please support the White House petition to expunge SOPA forever. This is Sid, signin' off!"

Sid then continued snacking on French fries after the review ended...

Next time on Kamen Rider Gaim Magica!

Homura: "Sayaka's in trouble!"

Kyouko: "Stop following me. You're slowing me down."

Kamijou: "The portal?!"

Sayaka: "You and I have a diffrent idea of strength, Kyouko-chan."

Mango and Blueberry?!

FIGHT OF HAMMER~!

SIGNORA OF THE NUNCHAKU!

Kyouko: "I'll never yield to anyone, ever again!"

Sayaka: "Let's go!"

Lock 9: Baron and Fraise's New Power, Mango and Blueberry!

---

Pega-Rider: Yea-bo! That's Chapter 8 of KRGM. Now we have Sonomura as Kamen Rider Viscount and Battler Ushiromiya from Umineko no Naku Koro ni as Kamen Rider Asura! All thanks to Seeker213 for the idea! Yeah, I'm thinking about Rokkenjima Arc for future chapters, but it's still unknown to do in which saga, but only one thing for sure: It's not in Beat Riders Saga. Also, in we introduced more Kamen Rider Girls personnel as Popups, with mention of ex-KRG, Yurika Hirokawa. It'd be very interesting to play with Yurika-san's "resignation" as a plot point where she's gone missing like Mami, no? Next Chapter, we'll have Mango and Blueberry Arms debut!

Alright, before we leave here's the quiz!

Quiz 1: In DJ Sagara's show he mentioned about "some kind of pirates we know". With what he said about Viscount's action, can you guess what "pirate show" he referred to?

Quiz 2: And still about DJ Sagara. He said something about Asura's action. There's a game title among his lines about that. Guess it.

Alright, as usual, shoot your answer in your review. For the first 5 people who answered all 3 quizzes in any chapters correctly will get Beta-read!

And as I said earlier, please support everyone to expunge SOPA forever from the net, so we can keep making fanfictions. This is Pega-Rider, signing off! ON-DORIYAAA!

UPDATE: I forgot to post this announcement. Now, New Generation Riders OC request reached 7 out of 8. There's still one more room left! Also, Energy Lockseeds will be 12 locks in total, and other 4 Locks will serve as additional Arms, and unlike Armored Riders have, these extra locks won't fall into certain Riders, meaning other Riders can bring the same lock.
