Speaking of which, there's the person willing to help me out for this one!
Pikatwig: Hello. I'm the person who thought up the original chapter concept, and created Kamen Rider Fraise.
PR: And along with KKD, Pikatwig's known for writing Mega Kamen Rider Gaim, but of course, under KKD's wing. *shot*

Previously in Kamen Rider Gaim Magica...
Gaim, Ryugen, Fraise, and Bima battle the Inves attacking the city, helped by the mysterious Rider, Mariachi. In their pursuit, they find the mysterious plants growing underground. A mysterious group also arrives, along with the white Kamen Rider, Zangetsu to burn the plants and erase the evidence, as they did the Inves. What is their aim? Meanwhile, unknown to the Team, Mariachi turns out to be Team Gaim's missing leader, Tomoe Mami.
Kyouko was having dinner along with Ky, Miwa, and the rest of Barons. They were having a portion of large-sized pizza, with Kyouko eating the portions heartily. When it came to meal, her appetite was bottomless. She could eat a whole portion of pizza if she wanted. But the reason of her not getting fat was routine exercise hours after meal. That was probably why Kyouko had slightly muscular yet slim body.
"Whoa, y'look hungry, boss?" Miwa asked.
"Yeah." Kyouko answered when munching the pizza. "To be strong you should eat as many healthy foods as we can."
"But you don't care if that's healthy or junk food, do you?" Ky pointed out.
"But still, we need energy to do stuffs. I wanna eat this many because I wanna have exercise. Even sleep needs energy, you know." Kyouko replied.
"Well..." Miwa sighed. He then looked at the calendar near the Baron coat closet, and saw a date, December 10th circled in red marker ink, and a words, "Sayaka's Birthday".
"Two days later is your girlfriend's birthday. Right, boss?" Miwa asked.
"Shut the fuck up! Sayaka isn't my girlfriend, you know!" Kyouko denied, and her face blushed.
"Oh really? Your face blushed." Ky pointed out as he saw her face.
"Fuck off!" Kyouko shot back, turning away from her right-hand man.
"It isn't yet, but it will!" Miwa chuckled, and then he got thrown with Matsubokkuri Lockseed at his head in response, knocking him out of chair.
"I TOLD YOU, SHITHEADS! SAYAKA IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! CASE CLOSED!" Kyouko bellowed, revealing to be the one who threw Miwa with the lock.
(Suddenly the current scene zipped open to reveal the opening scene.)

(As the opening begins, the core six Kamen Riders: Gaim, Baron, Ryugen, Zangetsu, Fraise, and Mariachi were standing back-to-back and posing on their ways, focusing on Kamen Rider Gaim, the orange Rider.

Lock 11: Clash of Giants! Watermelon VS Coconut!
At the following day at Mitakihara High, the school bell rang, and the large clock at the school building showed 7 AM, the start of the class. At class 2-A, students were sitting on their respective chairs, preparing for today's class. As for Homura, she was reading textbook to study, so she could ready herself for the lesson. Moments later, Madoka, Sayaka, Kamijou, and Hitomi arrived.
"Hi, Homura-chan!" greeted Madoka.
"Hi, Madoka." Homura replied as her classmates and teammates sat on their respective chairs.
"Did you hear the news? Team Baron is now in third place!" Hitomi informed.
"I know. Things get tough, eh?" replied Homura.
"Suppose so," Sayaka shrugged.
"But it's quite a challenge, you know! We've to improve our practice, so we can keep being the top!" Madoka beamed enthusiastly.
"True. But now, let's get to something more serious," Sayaka started, getting her friend's attention. "My birthday is tommorrow!"
"I kno- Hey!" Kamijou gawked, realizing he had been reminded, and he almost forgot that. "Maybe we should organize things, and…"
Moments later, the teacher, Mizuho entered the class, this time bringing the math homeworks of the students. This prompted the students to prepare themselves for the class.
"Attention, please!" Homura readied the students. "Stand up, and greet!"
"Good morning, Sensei!" All 2-A students greeted, as instructed.
"Good morning, students." Mizuho replied as the students sat back. "Today, I've your works graded, and you can take yours after I call you."
Mizuho then took a paper book, with Madoka's name on it, and called her, "Kaname,"
Madoka then got up and walked over to the teacher to take her homework.
"Miyashita,"
A male student of 2-A, Miyashita responded and walked over to take his paper book. Few moments later, now it was Sayaka's turn.
"Miki,"
However, Sayaka didn't respond.
"Miki?"
Homura looked at Sayaka, who was sleeping on the desk, much to her chagrin.
"Oi, wake up, will ya?" Homura murmured as she poked Sayaka. The bluenette then woke up from her morning nap, due to math class, one of her least favorite subjects.
"What is it...?" Sayaka responded with sleepy tone.
"You're called! Take your work!" Homura said.
"Miki?" Mizuho called once again.
"Yes, ma'am!" Sayaka responded, albeit slightly clumsy. She then got up and retrieved her paper book. Fortunately, Mizuho didn't berate her for sleeping in the class.
"Let's see the grades…" Sayaka murmured as she opened the book, and then… she found out the grade for her homework. It was 46, much to her surprise.
"EEEEEEEEEEH?!" Sayaka gawked in disbelief, and shock. "B-B-But…! I studied and worked hard!"
"Bet you don't see it coming." Homura deadpanned.
Sayaka groaned irratatedly, before taking her seat. Other students chuckled at her in response. Sayaka blushed in embarrassment to her dismay.
Hours later, at 10 AM, it was the morning break. The students were going on their ways around the school, though some of them stayed in the class. Homura brought some books from library, and was on her way to the class.
"Hey, what are you gonna do for Miki's birthday?"
Homura overheard the talking from the familiar voice, and she saw Baron pioneers, Ky and Miwa, along with their leader Kyouko talking. She kept watching and hearing them talking, so she could get an information or two to prepare for Sayaka's birthday. But first she had to hide from them.
"Well, it's a secret for now. Can't tell you guys, sorry." Kyouko replied.
"Oh come on! We've been your teammates for almost two years, and you don't wanna tell us? You're stingy, Boss!" Ky joked, patting the leader's shoulder.
"C'mon, Kyouko-san! Please tell us!" Miwa pleaded.
"Okay," Kyouko answered. "But first…"
Kyouko took out a pack of cracker from her coat pocket, and then she took a piece… before throwing it at Homura, much to the latter's surprise! But she caught it somehow.
"You're overhearing us, Akemi?" Kyouko asked cynically as she walked over to Homura.
"N-Not really… Just passing through." Homura answered.
"I can tell you're lyin'." Kyouko pointed out. "Despite you're trying to overhear us, you've grown stronger now, Gaim."
Kyouko then took the cracker from Homura and took a bite of it, before eating the cracker.
"You should be lucky she only threw a cracker at you. When she throws a playing card, it can crack a TV screen!" Miwa told Homura with joking, yet mocking tone.
Homura grimaced. If Miwa was right, said card could pierce even her skin, if she wasn't careful to catch it. She just wondered if Kyouko was really powerful to throw the cards to pierce, or Miwa was just bluffing.
"Well… I'm gonna get Sayaka something nice, you need any help?" Homura offered Kyouko.
"None of your business." Kyouko scoffed in response. "We're gonna get it ourselves."
The Baron pioneers then walked away, leaving Homura on her own. With those rag-tag of cocky dancers left, she made her mind to return to class.
"Heh… if she didn't have one already, I might've considered trying to get a Sengoku Driver for her," Homura joked to herself, imagining how Sayaka would've reacted to that for an early birthday gift.
Homura then walked to Class 2-A where she intended to go since going out from library. She then met Sayaka and greeted her, "Oh, Sayaka, hi."
"Hi, Homu-chan." Sayaka replied. But she looked busy with a paper, Homura looked to see it was a math paper. "Our sensei said I could do this over, but I need to finish before the end of the day,"
"Well, good luck then." Homura smiled and patted Sayaka's shoulder as she passed by to the class, while Sayaka shrugged and went to the library.
Later, after school, at Le Charlotte, the customers were flooding the shop, and all tables were taken, and all chairs were full with people. The waiter was busy serving the cakes and beverages, while Sanji was talking with someone from phone, but he looked a bit troubled as he got calls from someone… important.
"I know, Monsieur Ravioli! We're in process of making it! I promise it'll be done tomorrow!" Sanji talked with the client, Ravioli via phone. He was a bit busy that the staffs were stretched thin just to make a cake and serve the customers. Wonders if that was very, artistic yet magnificent cake ever made. And it could be told whether it was expensive, seeing Sanji had known this man from Relais Desserts community, and he was one of the richest man in Italy, now visiting Le Charlotte to try one of Sanji's cakes.
Meanwhile, outside the shop Hideyoshi and Nobita were looking at the front door, both fairly nervous due to the pounding they got from Bravo during his debut. But they had to put their fear aside, as they had to do something. To buy the cakes for snacks.
"Okay bud… there it is." Hideyoshi told his friend, as they looked at the open sign.
"Why is it we're getting a birthday cake again?" Nobita asked, to double check.
"Because we want good snacks to fill in!" Hideyoshi answered. "It's one of the best place ever known to get those, so you know."
"Uh… isn't it Miki's birthday tomorrow?" Nobita asked.
"At least what they said." Hideyoshi answered. Nobita walked up, and opened the door shakily.
"Bonjour!" Sanji waved to the two Beat Riders from different teams in friendly manner. Nobita and Hideyoshi tried to contain their nervousness, and trying to be polite as possible, despite the owner's friendly greet. Ones could hope that this blonde patissier wouldn't notice them as Beat Riders, or else...
"Okay… so, we need one small chocolate, one small raspberry, and uh… what do you think Miki would like for her cake?" Nobita started ordering, when he turned to Hideyoshi.
"Uhmm… I'm not too sure, but at least it involves strawberries and sweets…" Hideyoshi figured.
"Oh, I remember! Miki usually likes strawberry cake with pineberry, with blackberry and blueberry jam! Berry Fanfare, right? Wait a sec-" Sanji spoke, before turning to see the two Riders, realizing something's off. Those unpleasant people to his sight, and start of his annoyance… Those two amateur pests. "Oh! The Armored Riders moi trashed before!" And for comical effect, cue Bravo's standby music as Sanji snapped.
"Don't ya mean Kamen Riders?" Hideyoshi responded.
"Whatever! I'll trash you once more!" Sanji snapped as he pulled out his Sengoku Driver, and…
*guitar riff*
"AAAAAAAAAH~!" Hideyoshi and Nobita got kicked out of Le Charlotte, with their faces landed on the ground first, before sliding and grounded. Both then stood up and turned to see…
DURIAN ARMS! MISTER~ DANGEROUS!
"Ara, you two dare to step your feet here? If you're trying to touch the delicacy of desserts, you should know the hardship you have to take first!" Bravo snapped as he walked out of his shop before returning into soon after.
"Okay… so, what do we do? We got smeared by him twice already," Hideyoshi asked.
"On to my plan. Strategic retreat," Nobita responded.
"What's that?"
"It's like running away, only manly!"
"Is there something like that?!" Hideyoshi deadpanned as both team leaders walked away from the cake shop. They had to think about the next strategy to get the cake. Moments later...
DONGURI ARMS! / MATSUBOKKURI ARMS!
"You sure this will work?" Hideyoshi, now Kurokage, asked.
"It will. Besides we've this guy, so it's okay." Nobita, now Gridon responded as he took out a Lockseed with design of greenish gray fruit and "LS-46" code label, Huito Lockseed.
"Okay… Though I doubt it will, just don't make him maul us, again." Kurokage sighed pessimistically as both nut-themed Riders walked in and…
*guitar riff*
"NOT AGAIN~!" They got kicked out, again.
"Told you it won't work!" Kurokage argued.
"My, my. I appreciate your persistence for trying to lay your hands on my products. But you have to train more! Salut!" Bravo bid as he showed the Huito Lockseed he had claimed from the nut Riders before returning into the shop. Kyouko then walked past the two Riders on the ground, as if not noticing them. Those two Riders, however, was wondering what Kyouko wanted to do in Le Charlotte.
"Hey? Is that…" Gridon noticed Kyouko, his former ally turned rival since their "betrayal" to Team Baron.
"Is she throwing away her life?" Kurokage asked, dumbfounded.
The Baron leader turned at them in glance, and going back into the shop, as if she couldn't care less about them. This made both nut Riders displeased. And they stared at the shop gate in both confusion and procrastination. Cue the squawking crow sound for comical effect as they stared without doing nothing. After about ten minutes...
COME ON!
Kyouko walked out, carrying a cake case in her arms, and she handed it to Himeko, who was waiting closeby. And more questions added into their heads. Why the Beat Riders from opposing teams were there together? Possibly for temporary truce, since they were working together for Sayaka's birthday.
"Himeko? What's she doing here?" Gridon wondered aloud.
"Talk about party. It seems they had something in favor. Anyways, we've try out our new strategy." Kurokage said as he took out a tapping device.
"What you gonna do with that?" Gridon asked curiously.
"Let's see." Kurokage answered as both nut Riders left Le Charlotte, leaving Kyouko and Himeko to deal with an "offer".
"Here you go Himeko," Kyouko told Himeko as she handed the cake.
"Thanks, Kyouko-san." Himeko thanked before leaving the shop. Pleased, Kyouko smirked as one of the to-do list was fulfilled.
"Now for the next…" Kyouko muttered as she walked away from the cake shop.
Back at school, Sayaka was still working hard, and was almost done with her retake, she simply scratched the back of her head in thought, how to do these problems. Math was always draining her brain due to its difficulty, hence the bottom of totem pole of her favorite subject.
"These problems… Must… be done…" Sayaka muttered as she struggled to work on the problems, moments before she gave into the sleep attack, and fell asleep.
"Okay, let's see…" Kajimou muttered, trying to tune his violin, as he glanced over to see where Sayaka was working. He then saw Sayaka sleeping, and an idea popped in his head. He walked over to Sayaka, and then he played one of his favorite classic songs, Mozart Concerto II.
"Eh…?" Sayaka said waking up, rubbing her eyes. She then turned to see Kamijou, playing with his violin. "Kyousuke-kun?"
"I thought you're having a retake, Sayaka." Hitomi said, walking in as her boyfriend stopped the violin tune.
"I am… I just dozed off… again…" Sayaka replied, before yawning to refresh.
"Well, if those problems are too difficult, we can help." Kamijou offered.
"Oh really?" Sayaka asked, excited.
"Of course. What are friends for?" Hitomi nodded.
"Arigato," she smiled, hugging them both, and thus, the two helped her with the retake. There was two problems to solve, and both of them involved trigonometry. One of the worst lesson in math, at least according to Gaim's best dancer.
"Alright let's start with these…" Kamijou told Sayaka the problem to solve, and how it did.
Minutes later, Sayaka sighed relieved, finally finished all the retake. All thanks to her best friends.
"Phew! It's done~!" Sayaka beamed. "Thanks, guys!"
"No prob. If you need help to study, just call us." Kamijou said.
"Thanks!" Sayaka smiled, got her bag, and left to turn in her retake. After that, she planned to go to Gaim's garage, to practice dance as usual. Hitomi then followed suit, to accompany Sayaka collecting the retake paper and going for practice.
"What book would she like…" Homura wondered as she checked the books around the bookstore. Considering Sayaka's character, she guessed that books like light novel or comic could suit her. "Man… this is kinda tricky."
She then looked out and saw Tomomi of Team Popup outside. Besides Tomomi, there was a girl around Tomomi's age with brown ponytailed hair in same uniform as Tomomi, Tomomi's teammate Yasuda Nao. Maybe she was about to buy some book to read, but Homura thought of something when she saw them walk in.
"Oh, Tomomi-chan," Homura waved, getting the Popup girls attention.
"Hi there, Homu-Homu!" Tomomi replied with a wave, and Nao waved as well. "Whatcha doin' here?"
"Looking for books she would like… But I dunno what to choose."
"Oh, I see. Maybe try to find books with heartwarming story, like Twi-" Tomomi was about to speak, but Nao put her hand on the former's mouth to silence her.
"Twilight Saga is la~me." Nao argued. "Maybe you should buy heroic fantasy novel or manga, or…"
"Hmm… I've been thinking, and I only have a day to make a choice. But, there's something I wanted to ask you and your group," Homura informed.
"Yes, what is it?" Tomomi inquired.
"Well, you mentioned about your team leader missing, so… I was wondering if Mami had the same thing. Have contacted Yurika?"
"Now that you mention it… we haven't tried…" Nao admitted embarrassed.
"It's cool… eh?" Homura responded, looking over to a section of books with a curious look. She then picked a book, according to her, met the criteria. It was a book with a cover of six girls in colorful skins and hairs, titled "Rainbow Rocks".
"Oh yea… Sayaka likes this franchise,"
"What is it?" Tomomi asked curiously.
"It's a TV show from America. Friendship is Magic I think the name over there is…" Homura responded. "This book is the interquel for the movies based on it."
"Y'mean My Little Pony?" Tomomi corrected. "Wow, I like that too!"
"Oh, don't forget this!" Nao suggested as she showed a magazine with a cover of certain Miko-like mecha with elongated hands, as well as large shoulders. The magazine was titled, "Gundam Hobby Life", with main issue of "Tragic Female Pilots of UC History".
"Well, that could work." Homura agreed, knowing that Sayaka likes Gundam franchise as well, that she liked to collect the plastic model kit of said franchise, based on mechas appearing there.
"Thanks a lot you two." Homura thanked.
"We'll see you at the party tomorrow," Tomomi waved.
"Ara? You're joining party too?" Homura wondered aloud. Was that something she wasn't told?
"Well, you see," Nao hinted. The Popup duo then continued looking for the books. "We were asked to perform at her party."
"Perform?"
"A duet with Team Bo-" Tomomi spoke, only to be shut up once again by Nao. Looks like Nao didn't want Tomomi to spoil everything just yet, to keep a surprise a secret. Homura simply shrugged, as she began to pay for the items she had.
At Gaim's Garage, Madoka, Sayaka, Hitomi, and Osomatsu triplets were practicing dancing, while Himeko was having cram school, but she couldn't tell them due to her school live must be kept secret from her teammate. They were so energetic when doing all the moves, something Team Gaim had in common.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight…" The dancers counted the beat as they practicing dance moves.
Soon after, Homura arrived at the garage, but she didn't bring the books as she should. She probably kept the books for present, to be given tomorrow. Otherwise it couldn't be surprise anymore. At the time she arrived, the Gaimers finished their practice and went for break.
"So Sayaka, are you happy your birthday is tomorrow?" Homura asked.
"Of course! 'Cuz tomorrow we don't have any routine perform and club activities after school." Sayaka answered.
"It's must be exciting for you." Madoka smiled as she went to the fridge to take a water bottle. "And what are you going to do then?"
"Well, I asked Kyouko-chan to go out for a walk, so I can go for shopping!"
"Eeeeh?!" Homura and the others gawked in response, unbelieving that Sayaka wanted to go with Kyouko, their former teammate turned rival of all people.
"B-but, she's turned your back on us, and you too, you know?!" Osomatsu pointed out.
"I know, but at least, I have some more time to talk with her." Sayaka replied. "It's been a while since not going with her."
"Okay, I understand. She's your best friend after all." Hitomi said. "Anyways, what are you gonna buy and where?"
"It's a, s-e-c-r-e-t!" Sayaka answered.
"Oh, come on!" Madoka chuckled, poking her childhood friend with elbow.
"But nevertheless, it's good to go out with that Knight of Spear, so she'd become your knight." Himeko teased.
"Urusai!" Sayaka denied and looked away from Himeko, as her face blushed. "We-we're just friends, that's all!"
The rest of Team Gaim then laughed in response, having fun with Sayaka for her priceless reaction.
Later, around 5 PM, Himeko returned home and entered the Himemiya house. She looked around to see if her sister was around, and she saw Himemiya house's maid Otoha passed by.
"Oh, Otoha-chan." Himeko waved at the maid.
"Welcome back, Hime-sama." Otoha greeted the heiress.
"Thanks. Anyways, did you see Nee-chan around?" Himeko asked.
"Miya-sama told me that she had to work overnight today. So she wouldn't go home until midnight."
"Oh, I see..." Himeko asked as she walked upstairs. She was disappointed that the person she wanted to ask for wasn't at home for the moment, and couldn't return until midnight. She wanted to ask Chikane if she wanted to get some present for her friend, but she couldn't tell if that was Sayaka due to her detest against Beat Riders. So, she had to skip that for now.
"She said she will call you if Miya-sama's done." Otoha added.
"Okay then." Himeko nodded as she walked to her room. Soon, the house phone on the phone desk rang, prompting Otoha to walk over to it and picked it up.
"Hello?" Otoha answered the call.
"It's me, your mistress' colleague, Ryouma." The caller identified from the other side of phone.
"What do you need from me?" Otoha asked.
"Well, maybe you haven't heard it from your mistress, but…"
"...The new belt model is in 75% of completion. Once it's completed, I want you to join our project as the belt user." Ryouma talked from his lab at Yggdrasil Tower via his cellphone.
At Himemiya Residence, Otoha could only pause when hearing the news, uncertain what to do or even to think if it's the bad news or good news. While she was happy that she could fight alongside her mistress, but she couldn't leave the household duty as maid behind.
"Well, while I'm glad to hear, but I can't leave the house and Hime-sama here." Otoha informed.
"It's okay. You just stay at home until needed, and we're going to send that belt to the house after the test-run. How is it?" Ryouma asked.
"Okay. I agree to join." Otoha answered, now agreed with Ryouma's offer. While technically she had double-duty as household maid and Chikane's secretary, she didn't have to worry about her time stretched thin due to her voluntary on the project. It wasn't like she had to leave household duty for long, unless Chikane and Yggdrasil need her.
"Okay then. It's all we need to know. Later."
At the lab, Ryouma hanged up the phone, and turned to the window, wondering if the project was so fast to complete. It seemed the progress went beyond his expectation. Soon, in few weeks the new model would be complete.
"It gets interesting…" Ryouma remarked as he picked up the blueprint paper of some sort. "With all Sengoku Drivers obtained and utilized, the progress would come into fruition. But I wonder what happened to Contract Gamma? The driver don't send back the data, or so it seems."
"Nevertheless, we've got most data we need." Ryouma smirked as he looked at the paper, with design of a belt buckle with Lockseed port and "juicer" on its both sides, and a "cup" on its bottom, complete with "straws" all around the belt's midsection and an open straw atop...
Otoha hanged up the phone as well, and sighed in relief. Now she had means to do her duty, to protect Himemiya family. But above those, she looked like having some goal in her mind…
"Now with that, I can protect Miya-sama… And I won't let anything bad happen to her." Otoha thought.
Meanwhile, at the downtown of Mitakihara City, the people were busy walking around, crowding the district of city. Among those walking people was Sayaka, who was walking to some place, waiting for someone.
"Hmm… How long it is…" Sayaka muttered.
Just as Sayaka was about to take out her phone to message that person, Kyouko, the person in question, arrived.
"Been waiting, huh?" Kyouko remarked.
"Yeah, but it's not like we're late anyway." Sayaka said. "Alright, let's go!"
"Oi!" Kyouko gawked as she got her hand grabbed by Sayaka, dragged as they went to a mall.
Inside the mall, people were walking around to shop or just to look for things sold there. Usually families or couples were going around. And the activity in the mall was very busy, since the vendors and shops had to serve the vast amount of customers. Among those customers were Sayaka and Kyouko, who were going out for shopping day before birthday.
"Okay, so where to begin…?" Kyouko asked.
"First, we go to buy some clothes. I wanna have good clothes to go for my birthday." Sayaka answered.
"So what are we waiting for? Let's go." Kyouko said, but as she was about to walk, she got her hand grabbed, stopped by Sayaka.
"And you'll be the one paying all for, understand?" Sayaka asked.
"Whatever." Kyouko sighed in slight dismay, though she had to comply with her deal as her best friend. She wouldn't fund the birthday shopping if Sayaka wasn't her best friend. "Let's get this over with."
The two girls then walked to the clothing store "Yellow Monkey". It was said as one of the best store at Mitakihara. They entered, and started looking for clothes of choice.
"Oh boy, this is gonna be fun." Sayaka said happily, as they walked around. Few moments later, Sayaka picked up handful clothes of her choice, handing them to Kyouko to carry.
"Alright Kyouko-chan, I'm gonna try these on, and you'll tell me if you like them or not, okay?" Sayaka told Kyouko after she found a changing room.
"Okay." Kyouko nodded as Gaim's best dancer took the clothes before entering the fitting room.
Sayaka then started with something red and black. It was red shirt under grey vest, black long pants, and a black and red long waistcoat, which was Team Baron's uniform.
"How 'bout this?" Sayaka asked.
"Cool, I guess." Kyouko answered.
"Alright…" Sayaka said, returning to the fitting room. Few moments later, Sayaka returned with red shirt and white hot pants, wrapped by black belt. She wore shoes and red-and-white bandanna.
"Looks cute." Kyouko commented.
Next, Sayaka was wearing a red-and-black buttoned blouse, with short white skirt and red sneakers. The blouse had six large buttons.
"Hmm… You look adorable." Kyouko commented.
"And wearing this feels… almost natural," Sayaka admitted, thinking that it felt natural wearing this, being Kamen Rider Fraise. "It's like something I wanna wear and I'm growing liking it."
"So y'like it, huh? Fine then." The redhead Baron leader said.
Next moments later, Sayaka was wearing short black kimono wrapped by purple obi, with pinkish white coat over the clothes. She was wearing white shoes, and golden layered hairpin. On her hand was a pink round robot-like toy of some sort.
"It's beautiful." Kyouko commented.
"Wow, thanks!" Sayaka smiled.
Yet another minute later, Sayaka wore a white frilly dress with long sleeves and black knee-long skirt, with black pantofel shoes. With that attire, she almost looked like a maiden doll of some sort. Not to mention she had an amber ring on the middle finger of her right hand. The princess vibe could be seen from her.
"Well, I can say it's… gorgeous." Kyouko commented.
Next up, Sayaka wore a yellow sleeveless shirt and blue jeans, red sneaker shoes and blue hat covering most of her hair. She also wore red gloves, making her look a bit tomboyish.
"It looks very you." Kyouko remarked.
Next up Sayaka came up with new set of clothes. She wore purple blouse, toned in both light and plain purple, short light purple skirts, white long socks, and black pantofel shoes. She also wore eyeglasses, making her look smart and chic.
"While it looks so cute, but I think you're not smart enough to wear that." Kyouko deadpanned.
"Aw, you're so cruel…" Sayaka sighed, slightly depressed that even her best friend talked about her "stupidity".
"I thought this one would look a bit better anyway," she admitted, walking off for a moment. Next up, Sayaka wore a white trouser and white mini skirt under pink jacket, and white pantofel shoes.
"Cute, yet tough." Kyouko admitted.
"So you like this one?" Sayaka checked.
"Uh-hm." Kyouko nodded.
"And… How's this?" Few moments later, Sayaka wore black shirt and black mini skirt under black leather jacket, as well as black leather shoes. She looked tougher than before, but a bit wicked and dangerous.
"Strong looking." Kyouko commented.
Few moments later, Sayaka wore yellow jacket with furred collars, and white-and-black striped shirt and mini jeans skirt underneath. She wore brown leather boots. That made her looked a bit sporty.
"Wow, cool." Kyouko smirked.
"Alright, the last one!" Sayaka beamed as she walked off to fitting room. Around a minute later, Sayaka wore a white shirt with motif of pineberry, blackberry, blueberry, and elderberry, a short jeans, and a pink jacket. She wore leather sandal-like shoes with the ankle covered.
"That's it. I like it best. Besides, you look good in barefoot." Kyouko commented.
"Oh? So you like it?" Sayaka asked.
"Yep. I think that's what you should wear in your birthday."
"Wow, thanks!" Sayaka beamed.
After Kyouko bought the clothes for Sayaka, the two girls then looked around. They then found a salon, and walked in. Both girls then walked to the counter, to order for something.
"Welcome! What can I help you?" The clerk asked.
"Well, I'm here for nail color for my fingernails." Sayaka answered.
"A nail color? It comes up to 500 Yen." The clerk said.
Sayaka then winked at Kyouko, who was about to pay for the treatment. She took out five bills of 100 Yen from her wallet and gave it to the clerk.
"Thanks." The clerk thanked. "Alright, please take a seat."
Sayaka then looked around to see if there was any vacant seat. Once she found one, Sayaka took that seat. Soon, a female employee walked over to the bluenette.
"Good day, ma'am. How can I help you today?" The employee asked.
"I'd like to have my fingernails done in pink and black, please." Sayaka answered as she glanced at Kyouko, knowing the latter would pay for the former. Kyouko grimaced, that she had to pay for everything, although she had her savings from Beat Riders competition and Inves Game. But of course she had to do it since Sayaka was her best friend.
The employee then showed Sayaka some variations of color. She then noticed one light pink color called "Peach Pink". She grinned and said, "The Peach Pink color, okay?"
"Sure." The employee nodded before painting Sayaka's fingernails in Peach Pink and black color.
However, they didn't notice was that, in a once in a blue moon scenario, Team Gaim, a member of Team Boost, and a Popup member, were out shopping for Sayaka's birthday.
The Team Boost member was a boy, around Homura and other Team Gaim members' age, and he had green ponytailed hair and yellowish white skin, wearing Team Boost's black-and-orange staple jacket, a white-and-blue shirt underneath, and a black jeans wrapped with leather belt at his waist. He wore blue sneakers and a pair of leather gloves. He was Leonardo Ravioli, leader of Team Boost.
And the Popup member was a girl, in exactly same age as Leonardo, but she shared same face, height, hair color, and skin color with him, indicating she was fraternal twin sister of Leonardo. She wore Team Popup's uniform, and she had her tail tied in twin-pigtails, with each tail reached her shoulder in length. She was the youngest and newest member of Team Popup, Lucca Ravioli, twin sister of Leonardo.
"Guys! Kyouko and Sayaka are here, but they just entered a salon, luckily they can't see out the windows, so they won't see us." Hitomi informed.
"I love that salon!" Madoka said aloud.
"Not so loud, Madoka-san. You don't want Sayaka-san to hear us; we want to keep this as a surprise," Himeko hushed Madoka.
"What I don't get is why we don't tell Sayaka nee-chan." Leonardo asked.
Homura sighed and then said "Sayaka wanted to go out with Kyouko by themselves, and it's not like she would bother to tell us about that."
"She's got a point there, Leo-nii," Lucca chuckled with Osomatsu bopping Leo on the head.
"Well, I wanna get my hair cut nicely there." Choromatsu said.
"Let's get moving before we're seen." Kamijou told them, as they walked off.
As Team Gaim members plus Leo, Lucca, and Kamijou left, someone lurked out from a store. He was a man in brown trench coat and brown bowler hat, wearing sunglasses. The man took out the sunglasses, revealing he was Miwa.
"Miwa to Ky. Over?" Miwa talked to Ky via walkie-talkie.
"Ky to Miwa. How's Boss?" Ky asked from the other side, at the lower floor of mall.
"Boss is in salon, Ky. I heard she's about to pay the nail color for her girlfriend."
"Good. Keep an eye of Boss and her girlfriend. Copy?" Ky asked.
"Copy, Roger!" Miwa replied.
Back at the salon, after a little while, the nail was done. Sayaka smiled, satisfied with the work and said to the employee, "Thanks."
"You're welcome. Please come back any time." The employee replied as both girls left the salon.
As Sayaka and Kyouko walked around, the former was looking around to see if there was interesting stuffs to buy, while Kyouko just looked at her old friend. She had seen Sayaka happy-go-lucky, but she never saw her this happy before. Maybe it was her birthday so she became this happy, or is it because of going out with Kyouko, her best friend? Whatever it was, Kyouko just smiled happy at the air-headed bluenette that she could grant anything she want in this birthday.
"Ne, Kyouko-chan! Let's go!" Sayaka beamed as she dragged Kyouko by her arm to a bookstore.
"Do you have to do that, again?!" Kyouko grunted annoyed.
At the bookstore, Sayaka and Kyouko were looking for books, and then the former found a book caught her interest. It was a comic magazine titled "Nakayoshi Weekly", December issue.
"Wow!" Sayaka gasped excited. "I so want this~!"
"Okay…" Kyouko sighed. She had to prepare to drill her wallet further to purchase the books she needed.
Sayaka then looked around the books to look for the manga titles like in the Nakayoshi Weekly listed. She then found a books of her choice, Fruit Basket and Free! mangas.
"Ne, Kyouko-chan! I'd like to buy these!" Sayaka beamed as she showed Kyouko the mangas of her choice.
"And here goes nothing." Kyouko mentally braced herself, taking out her wallet. "Oh, by the way, you can get the complete series there." She reminded as she pointed at series of green boxes on the bookshelf.
Sayaka then turned to where Kyouko pointed at. A bundle of manga issues in a box for Fruit Basket series, labeled as "Complete Set". And she looked at price, which was 700 Yen! Of course, Sayaka was very excited to get cheap complete selection without bothering her best friend to pay more.
"Wow! I want this~!" Sayaka cooed, like a lovestruck fangirl. She had been waiting for this so long since she first time read the manga online. Now she had the hard-copy, she could read it anytime she wanted.
"Alright." Kyouko said. Both girls later paid for the bundle along with Free! manga issues 1-5.
After purchasing the books, Sayaka and Kyouko walked out of the store. Suddenly, the sound of thunder roared, and rain fell down the town. Sayaka shrieked in panic when hearing the thunder sound and… clinging to Kyouko's arm? It looked like a couple went on dating, hence Sayaka's blushed face when she realized.
"It's gettin' raining, so we better buy some umbrellas." Kyouko said.
"O-okay…" Sayaka replied, still in half-panic and slight embarrassment that she had clinged to her old friend's arm. She then quickly let go of Kyouko. However, Kyouko grabbed Sayaka's hand in response. This made Sayaka blushed even redder, and embarrassed much more.
"K-Kyouko-chan…" Sayaka muttered, embarrassed.
"You're scared?" The redhead girl asked.
"A bit…" Sayaka answered weakly from the remaining panic and embarassment.
"If you're scared then hold onto me." Kyouko grinned as she let go of Sayaka's hand before holding it again.
"Yeah… Maybe you're right…"
They then went to a store and bought a couple of umbrellas as Kyouko suggested. Few minutes later, the two girls walked around, and Kyouko's stomach growled. Sayaka could hear it, and it obviously meant that Kyouko was very hungry. It was time to look for a place where she could satisfy her appetite: a food court.
"You hungry?" Sayaka asked.
"Yeah, I'm hungry. Let's look for some food." Kyouko answered as they went to a food court.
At the food court, both girls placed in orders in front of a Japanese restaurant stand, and then they sat at the seats they chose. After glancing at Kyouko Sayaka let out a slight chuckle.
"Huh? What's up, Sayaka?" Kyouko asked curious when seeing Sayaka giggling.
"No, I'm just thinking, your Rider form is based on European knight, and knights there served for royalty, right? I wonder if I have a knight like you in my side…" Sayaka answered, wondering if Kyouko or Kamijou could be the "knight" she meant. Kyouko just shrugged, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"Yeah, I think so." Kyouko said. "But being a knight must have strong power, sense of justice, and discipline. And only ones who passed strict trials could bear the title."
"I know…" Sayaka said, understanding how similar knight's life and Kyouko's could be. "You've been through rough times, your family, and what Yggdrasil did to you… I think it's not too different from the "strict trials" you said. And you've adopted knight's code to be applied for your team. I think… you've been living a knight's life…"
"Is it so?" Kyouko questioned. "Honestly, I don't take any shit on being a knight or not, but that's my way of life."
"What do you mean?" Sayaka asked.
"In order to be the strong, you must muster your power. If you're not good enough, be better, and don't even try to look for others' flaw. I fucking hate lying and cheating people. They only show how damn idiotic yet weak they are."
"I'm agree. Besides, the only way to win is being stronger, right?" Sayaka nodded.
"True."
After a while, the waiter came and served the foods on their table.
"All those talks make me hungry, especially when you see the foods coming." Kyouko said.
"Yeah. Itadakimasu!" Sayaka said before they began to eat. Kyouko ate the foods so heartily, as if she was an animal. Sayaka giggled at her, wondering if she was okay to eat like that. Hopefully those foods could satisfy her hunger.
After a short while, they finished and walked out, to see it wasn't raining, the rain clouds having gone away.
"Well… looks like I was wrong." Sayaka said sheepishly.
"It's okay. Now we're prepared just in case it does rain," Kyouko noted.
"By the way, thanks for going on shopping today! I've gotta go home before my parents chew on me for coming back late." Sayaka informed.
"Well, I can take you home." Kyouko said.
"No, it's okay! I can go home on my own-"
Suddenly, Kyouko grabbed Sayaka's hand, much to the latter's surprise.
"It's already late night, so it's better to take you home. Your parents would understand." Kyouko convinced.
"Yeah… you're right." Sayaka answered.
Around 30 minute later, Sayaka and Kyouko arrived at Miki Residence, Sayaka's home. Sayaka pushed the doorbell, and moments later, the woman, who was Sayaka's mother opened the door to see her daughter and her friend. She was a woman in her late thirties, with the hair color matching to Sayaka's. At the moment, she was wearing a blue sweater and dark blue knee-length skirt, and a pair of sandals.
"Tadaima~!" Sayaka greeted cheerfully.
"Okaeri nasai, Sayaka. You brought your friend here too?" Sayaka's mom asked.
"Yeah. Kyouko-chan came here to take me home." Sayaka answered.
"Well, I guess it's time for me to go." Kyouko said as she was about to take her leave.
"Why be so rushed? Why don't you come in for a moment?" Sayaka's mom suggested.
"Okay, I guess." Kyouko then changed her mind and came into the house as guest, along with Sayaka.
In the house, Sayaka introduced Kyouko to her parents. After brief introduction, Sayaka told her parents on how she met Kyouko for the first time, and Kyouko told the parents about her dark and troubled past before she became Puella Magi, in which she wouldn't bother to tell about being one. Sayaka then told the parents that Kyouko was a leader of Team Baron, one of Team Gaim's biggest rivals. Sayaka's parents were surprise to hear at first, to have a friend from opposing Beat Rider team. However, they didn't mind, as long as both Sayaka and Kyouko got along nicely. Sayaka's parents admitted they watched Beat Riders Hotline with their daughter, and they always support her whatever the way she chose, as long as it could let her actualize herself and let her be herself.
Few hours later, Kyouko was about to take her leave, with Sayaka taking her to the gate.
"I'm going home now. Later." Kyouko told her before bidding the Miki family and left the house.
"Alright. Take care!" Sayaka replied.
After Kyouko left, now it left Miki family, and Sayaka needed to share about her shopping experience with her best friend.
"So, speaking about home, where does she live?" Sayaka's mom asked.
"She lives in Baron's basecamp." Sayaka answered.
"I see. Anyways, how was your shopping?" She asked.
"I bought sooo~ many stuffs and got a make-up thanks to Kyouko-chan! She wanted to pay it for me!" Sayaka half-lied It was her to ask Kyouko to buy all she wanted. And of course, her parents knew why.
"Oh? So you're preparing for your Sweet Seventeen? She must be very generous to fund your shopping." Sayaka's mom noted.
"Well, I can't help it. I'm so excited~!" Sayaka cooed enthusiastically, eager to see her birthday soon.
"Oh, dad's business partner from Italy told me that they would order a VERY special cake for you!" Sayaka's dad informed.
"Oh, really? Is it from Le Charlotte?" Sayaka asked excited.
"Of course, baby!"
"Yay~! You've gotta say thank you to 'em, dad!" Sayaka told her dad, hugging him.
Next morning, Sayaka was preparing for her birthday in her room, wearing the clothes she had bought from the mall yesterday, the last one she chose. Sayaka just adored on how it looked good to her. It looked very stylish yet chic to her, and she liked it. Just match to her style. She then looked at her Sengoku Driver she picked from the dressing table, wondering if she should carry one as well, in case Inves attacked. She then decided to bring it along with the Lockseeds.
After getting dressed and packed, Sayaka went out from her room and show the clothes to her parents.
"Ta-da! How is it?" Sayaka asked for her parents' opinion as she showed the attire.
"Hmm… Looks so cool… and cute!" Sayaka's mom answered honestly.
"Yeah, it looks very you." Sayaka's dad added.
"Wow! Thanks!" Sayaka said. She took the bag containing Sengoku Driver and Lockseeds and parted with her parents, "I'm going to Mitakihara Park now, bye!"
"Bye!" Sayaka's parents waved bye to their daughter, who was launching to the park, for an appointment of some sort.
Meanwhile, at Le Charlotte, the customers filled the shop more than ever, since it was Saturday, and many people would go there for having enjoyable snacks with families or couples. Hence why the busy waiters and chefs, and it included Sanji as the head patissier.
"Oh, really? You're about to arrive, Monsieur Ravioli?! Oui, oui! The cake is done, by the way, fresh from oven! You can come and take them while it's still tasty! Salut!"
After Sanji told the client about the completion of cake, he quickly hanged up the phone, and went back to prepare for welcoming of Mr. Ravioli. Soon later, a door opened, revealing a couple. One was a male with short wavy green hair and wide moustache wearing a business suit and glasses, and another was a female with long blonde hair wearing a silver gown, fitting enough to her body figure, looking very "feminine". However, something was off with them…
"Excuse me, Monsieur Patissier." The moustached man greeted Sanji.
"Oh, it must be…" Sanji replied to welcome his "clients" with warm welcome, but he realized something strange from them… somewhat. "Monsieur et Mademoiselle, Luigi and Rosalina Ravioli?"
"Uhm… Yes, I'm Luigi, er… Ratatouille?" "Mr. Ravioli" tried to confirm, but he soon forgot about his last name.
"It's Ravioli, darling." "Mrs. Ravioli" corrected.
"Yeah, I'm Luigi Ravioli, and here's my wife Rosalina Ravioli." "Luigi" introduced his "wife" as he tidied his moustache.
"Bonjour." "Rosalina" greeted, albeit a bit sheepishly.
"There should be my brother Mario, but he's, err…" "Luigi" tried to explain, but he soon forgot why his "brother" wouldn't come.
"Sick." "Rosalina" finished.
"Yes, he suddenly caught a cold, so he must take a rest in the hotel. Sorry can't bring him to you, Monsieur."
"Oh, it's okay! I still have your order done, so feel free to take it!" Sanji beamed, and then he brought the cake case to the "Ravioli couple". Just as they were about to take it, Homura passed by the Le Charlotte shop, and noticed "Raviolis" as if they were somebody familiar to her… Not to mention there was one of her grudge, Sanji.
"Sanji... and-?" Homura gawked.
"Thank you very much, Monsieur." "Luigi" thanked as he took the cake case Just when they were about to leave, they met Homura, much to their surprise.
"H-Homura-chan?" "Luigi" gawked.
"Huh? How do you know me?" Homura gawked back, both curious, and now suspicious to these "couple".
"Monsieur Ravioli? Do you know her?" Sanji asked.
Homura then looked at these "couple" carefully, and she found something strange on them. To further confirm her suspicion, she saw there was a brown hair under "Luigi"'s green hair. Homura then quickly swiped "Luigi" and "Rosalina's hairs and "Luigi"'s moustache… revealing they were Nobita and Hideyoshi in disguise!
"Que dans le monde?!" Sanji gawked "What in the world?!" in French hysterically. So these "clients" were Beat Riders amateur trying to go for his cakes and got trashed by him in earlier day all along! To add the comical situation, Bravo's standby music played as the rage swelled up inside him.
"Oh, no…" Hideyoshi muttered disappointed.
"And guess what to do." Nobita said before they…
"RUUUUUUUUN!" The Beat Riders in disguise screamed as they ran as fast as possible, bringing the cake.
"Don't even you try, voleurs imbeciles!"Sanji snapped angrily as he chased after the two nut Riders, cursing them as "imbecile thieves" in French. Homura could only shrug and just walked away from the shop.
Few minutes later, Nobita and Hideyoshi hid within the woods while panting after running few miles away from Le Charlotte, and they finally lost Sanji's track. They now wore their respective teams' uniform. This could be lucky for them, at least for a while. Soon, Nobita's phone vibrated through the jacket pocket, and he quickly picked it up and answered, "Moshi-moshi? Ky-chan?"
"So, did you got the cake?" Ky asked from the other side.
"I just got it, but thanks to Homura-chan our plan almost thwarted." Nobita reported.
"Alright, so switch to plan B!" Ky ordered.
"What?! Plan B already? We already get the cake, now what?!" Nobita grumbled, forcing himself to smile.
"That cold face chick can ruin our plan if this keeps going! She will be the threat for our surprise party, you know that?!"
"I know, but what should we do?!"
"Let Boss handle it."
"Okay, then. Bye." Nobita bid as he hanged up the cellphone.
"So we've to switch to Plan B?" Hideyoshi asked.
"Yeah. Hopefully she could nail it." Nobita sighed.
At Mitakihara Park, there were many people walking around and having some recreation to relieve from the business all the week, and the weekend like this day was very right moment for that. And among those people were ones about to celebrate something special. Of course, Sayaka was one of them, but she wasn't alone. She was with Kyouko. However, Kyouko became bewildered at her old friend… Why on the earth she didn't wear the shoes she bought yesterday?
"Oi, Sayaka, why do you walk… barefoot?" Kyouko asked.
"It's because you said I look good when barefoot!" Sayaka answered.
"And the shoes?"
"I'm bringing them in my bag." Sayaka answered as she flashed Kyouko her bag. "In case I need them."
"Yeah, you should. Besides, you're cuter when you walk barefoot, y'know?" Kyouko commented, which making her blush.
"Arigatou, Kyouko-chan." Sayaka thanked to her old friend's compliment with a smile.
"I'm just saying what I think." Kyouko responded.
Meanwhile, Homura was walking around the park just to take a walk, until she saw Kyouko and Sayaka there. Wondering what they were doing at such place, Homura walked over to them. Kyouko noticed her coming, and looked at her, wanting to have a word or two with her.
"Oh, not expecting to see you two here. This must be very nice birthday, isn't it?" Homura remarked.
"Yeah! I like this very much. Guess what? Kyouko-chan bought me clothes and shoes for my birthday!" Sayaka replied.
"Wow, you must be nice to have a friend like her." Homura commented.
"Agree. Anyways, do you like my outfit Kyouko bought for me?" Sayaka asked, showing off her clothes to the second-in-command of Team Gaim.
"Yep. It looks cool and fits you nicely." Homura answered.
"What a right moment." Kyouko remarked as she walked over to her rival. "Ive a word with you."
"What is it?" Homura asked her.
"Just follow me." Kyouko said as she dragged Homura away from the park.
"Hey! Kyouko-chan!" Sayaka shouted at her, but she was too far to even listen. Sayaka simply shrugged, left confused.
Few moments later, Kyouko and Homura arrived at a woods of some sort. Homura looked at Kyouko, wondering why would she drag her into such place. Most likely, they were about to talk things privately, but why?
"Oi, what do you wanna talk about?" asked Homura.
"Just one thing… How about we have a re-match?" Kyouko asked for a rematch since her previous bout with Homura never ended with result, like a cliffhanger. Homura could see why, but at important time like a friend's birthday? It would only make Sayaka, as the birthday girl, sad that they fought in such day supposed to be happy and conflict-free., if she knew.
"A rematch? You've gotta be joking, right?" Homura asked back, surprised by her rival's question.
"It's because we never concluded our bouts clearly. Always interrupted by factors." She answered.
"Then, how about Sayaka's birthday?!" Homura shot back.
"Don't worry about it. We've got it covered." Kyouko snickered.
Meanwhile with Sayaka, she walked with Leo and Lucca for some reason, and she found herself a bit… awkward since she had to walk with them while leaving Homura and Kyouko. She then noticed a lottery stand, runned by… Ky and Miwa wearing pink haori over their Baron coats and fake moustaches?
"Welcome, missy! Let's have a lottery for your lucky birthday!" Miwa greeted the companion.
"Eh? Ky-kun? Miwa-kun?" Sayaka gawked.
"Huh? Who are they?" Ky asked, pretending not to know about themselves.
"Don't lie to me! I know you're Ky-kun and Miwa-kun, Kyouko-chan's lackeys, right?"
"Oh, really? Anyways, why don't you roll one?" Miwa suggested.
"Oh, okay." Sayaka nodded as she went to roll a lottery. After rolling the drum for about one spin, a metal ball fell from the drum, which means...
"Congratulations~! You've won a lottery, miss!" Ky and Miwa cheered, clapping their hands to congratulate her.
"WOW! Yay~!" Sayaka cheered happily that she won the lottery, hugging both Leo and Lucca in joy.
"You just won the prize of…" Ky and Miwa went under the lottery table, before taking out a… HUGE box of a plastic model kit of some sort, picturing a gigantic red mecha with stick-like legs that acted as boosters and a pair of gatling gun-like hands, as well as launcher-like shoulders and a small single-horned head compared to its overall bulk. "High Grade Universal Century, 1/144 Neo Zeong!"
"Oh my goodness! I can't believe it! My Gunpla of the dream!" Sayaka gasped in even more joy after knowing she had won her most desired thing. "Thanks!"
She then hugged both Ky and Miwa, with the latter two felt a bit awkward for being hugged this tight.
"Sayaka nee-chan sure looks so happy, doesn't she?" Leo remarked.
"Of course, Leo-nii!" Lucca nodded with cheerful tone.
Back with Kyouko and Homura…
"Oh, really?" Homura asked, to double-check.
"Of course. Why would I forget about best friend's birthday? I bet you wouldn't know if she didn't tell you, wouldn't you?" Kyouko remarked.
"What?!" Homura growled irritated, starting getting irked.
"Heh, I was just joking, okay? But nevertheless, let's settle our scores we should have before!" Kyouko challenged as she wore her Sengoku Driver, pointing her Banana Lockseed at Homura before unlocking.
BANANA!
"Okay, if that's what you want!" Homura huffed as she wore her own Driver, bringing out her Orange Lockseed in response and unlocking it as well.
ORANGE!
"I'm not gonna lose to you!" Homura declared.
"So ain't I." Kyouko responded.
"HENSHIN!" Both Riders exclaimed as they posed and put their locks onto their respective Drivers.
LOCK ON!
As the standby musics played, both rivals looked at each other with determined glare for a moment. They then sliced their locks open.
SOIYA! / COME ON!
The fruits then fell over their respective summoners' heads, transforming them into their Rider forms as the fruits opened and folded into place.
ORANGE ARMS! / BANANA ARMS!
HANAMICHI ON STAGE! / KNIGHT OF SPEAR~!
"This is my stage now!" Gaim declared as she charged towards Baron. Baron dodged Gaim's Daidaimaru slashes twice and ducked another slash before blocking yet another slash, returning with a front kick and a couple of slashes. Gaim didn't pull back, as she charged again and slashed Baron with Daidaimaru first, and then with Musou Saber in reverse-gripped Battoujutsu style. She then combined both weapons and tried to slash Baron again, but the Knight-themed Rider already anticipated it with quick jab on her gut, and then she used this moment to attack her in succession, only to be blocked and brought to a lockdown. Baron then shove Gaim's naginata away to thrust her with her spear and slashed her twice.
"Hmph. Is that all you got?" Baron taunted.
"Of course not!" Gaim responded, rushing at Baron, and began clashing their weapons.
Not too far from fighting Riders were a two pairs of eyes peeking them through the bush, one pair were glassed, and another pair weren't. It turned out that Nobita and Hideyoshi were watching them from the bush.
"So, how she would do about this plan?" Hideyoshi asked.
"Let's see if she could distract Homura-chan enough." Nobita answered.
Back at Gaim and Baron, they brought their weapons in lockdown.
"Oi, Kyouko! Why do we have to settle our rivalry now of all times?!" Gaim retorted.
"Why? To decide who's the best between us!" Baron answered.
"Oh yeah?! I know you'd got better answer!" Gaim shot back as she cocked the hammer on Musou Saber to load its ammunition, before pushing it to aim the barrel at Baron, shooting her. Baron got pushed back a bit after being shot.
"Not bad… But not good enough!" Baron remarked as she regained her composure and went charging again.
Baron tried to swat Gaim with her lance, but got missed as the latter evaded, and then stepped aside to slash her, and got blocked. They then clashed weapons against each other again, and Gaim pushed Baron forward as their weapon locked before kicking her and charging up her Daidaimaru naginata mode, unleashing orange slice-like shock waves to Baron, stumbling her as sparks flew out from her armor.
"I see… You've got stronger, Akemi. But this is just the beginning!" Baron said as she pulled out Coconut Lockseed, unlocking it.
COCONUT!
Above Baron, a GIGANTIC Coconut, in roughly equal size to Suika Arms, appeared from the large zipper rip! Of course, Gaim was surprised to see such thing, especially owned by Kyouko of all people. With that, she knew what she had to do: to summon her Suika Arms.
SUIKA!
And the Suika Arms in the fruit form appeared, both Riders now even to the score in terms of raw power. To fight a giant with a giant. This could be most massive battle around. The Riders then replaced their locks.
LOCK ON!
As the standby music played, both Riders glared at each other while their fruit armors disappeared. Meanwhile, Nobita and Hideyoshi were watching the moment carefully.
"Homura and Kyouko… are they…?" Hideyoshi wondered.
"Don't tell me they're gonna bomb the woods…!" Nobita concluded, but his face showed worried look...
The Riders then sliced their locks open, and…
SOIYA! / COME ON!
The giant fruits fell behind their respective summoners, and as the stems flipped open, they jumped into their respective Arms. The Arms then transformed into their humanoid modes. For Coconut Arms, it looked more like a gigantic knight of some sort, with the red ponytail adorned the helmet and grilled face cover at the visor and mouthpiece. The armor was brown in color, and the legs was black and white. The armor carried a huge brown claymore with white edges and a cannon barrel of some sort in its center, themed after coconut.
SUIKA ARMS! OODAMA BIG BANG!
COCONUT ARMS! MIGHT OF GIANT~!
While Gaim rode a Suika Arms, Baron piloted the Coconut Arms!
"Let's see your true strength!" Baron proclaimed as she charged forward.
(Cue BGM: Never Surrender by Team Baron)
As the battle between giants began, Gaim blocked Baron's claymore swing in response, and then she swung her giant naginata, only to be blocked once again. Gaim then attacked again, this time she managed to land a couple of hits when she slashed Baron's armor at its midsection. She then ended the combo with a powerful downward slash, knocking Baron backwards a bit.
TANK MODE!
Coconut Arms then transformed into Tank Mode, similar to Suika Arms' gyro Mode, except the caterpillar threads folded out of the thigh and shin armors, and the shoulder armors folded forward to form cannons and missile pods.
"Eat this!" Baron roared as the armor shot barrages of vulcan guns from its fingertips, raining Gaim to prevent her from attacking further. She had to defend the shots by twirling the Suika Soujintou to deflect them.
"Shit!" Gaim cussed as she jumped high, and then changed to…
GYRO MODE!
As Gaim tried to avoid barrages of shots from Baron, she shot the missile fingertips at her, only to be intercepted by finger vulcan guns. On top of that, Baron shot missiles and shoulder cannons at Gaim, who barely evade them, and after taking those hits, she had to change again, this time with more wrecking power while defending herself from the shots.
OODAMA MODE!
"Boo-yaaah!" Gaim roared as the watermelon began to roll over at Baron, and then when it rolled, it steadily sped up, until it hit and knocked away Baron! However, Baron managed to retaliate as it hovered and landed back into position. When Gaim changed back and charged at Baron to try to slash her…
BALL MODE!
Baron's Coconut Arms changed back into fruit form, blocking Gaim's attack.
ARMOR MODE!
It changed back into its humanoid form, sending some powerful slashes, strong enough to force Gaim step back before finally falling from the last slash. When trying to stand up, she noticed Baron setting down the claymore, before it began to split, revealing a huge cannon barrel. It then extended its barrel as it turned at Gaim with the blades anchored to the ground, preparing to open fire as it began to charge up the energy in the barrel.
"Oh no!" Gaim gasped.
"Betcha don't see it coming." Baron chided as the energy finished charging up, shooting powerful beam blast, and swiped Gaim in one blast! ...Apparently, as an explosion occurred.
(Pause song)
"D-did she just overdid it?" Hideyoshi gawked, receiving a bop on his head.
"I don't think so." Nobita responded.
Meanwhile with Sayaka, who was still walking around the town with Leo and Lucca, hearing the explosion sound from nearly hundred meters away from where they were.
"I heard an explosion sound…" Sayaka muttered.
"Sayaka nee-chan, what's wrong?" Leo asked.
"I think it's coming from the Woods!" she deduced. "Let's go!"
With that, Sayaka, Leo, and Lucca hurried to the explosion source.
Back with Gaim and Baron, or more correctly only Baron, the smoke began to emerge from the wake of explosion. With Gaim taking the attack, there was no way she could survive! Baron could see that as the sign of her victory. That is, until the explosion subsided and Baron saw something she didn't expect.
"What the fuck-?!" Baron gawked… as it turned out that Gaim was intact, having defended the blast by turning the Suika Arms into Oodama Mode! However, there were some scorched parts on its armor, though.
(Continue song)
YOROI MODE!
"I won't go down so easily!" Gaim proclaimed as her powered armor changed back into Yoroi Mode before sending some slashes to Baron, only to be blocked by her claymore. However, their fight got interrupted as she got a phone call. She then looked at the caller's ID. It was Ky.
"Ky, what is it?!" Baron answered the call.
"This is bad, Boss! Sayaka is coming to the woods!" Ky informed from the other side.
"Say what?!"
Baron then stopped to confront Gaim further, as their duel got interrupted, yet again.
"We call it a day. Next time we meet, let's settle our scores!" Baron said as she jumped away from the scene, leaving Gaim on her own. She then jumped out of Suika Arms before closing her Lockseed, making the gigantic Arms disappear. As Sayaka, Leo, and Lucca arrived, Nobita and Hideyoshi quickly hid back.
(End song)
"Homu-chan, what are you doing here?" Sayaka asked, unaware that Homura had fought with Kyouko.
"Err… Nothing. I'm just walking around, that's all." Homura answered, half-lied.
"And the explosion sound?"
"Oh, I think… it was a battle nearby…"
"Anyways, let's go to the garage!" Leo suggested.
"Okay!" Sayaka and Homura responded, and the gang began walking to Gaim's Garage.
At Gaim's Garage, Homura and the gang found the lights off, with Homura and Sayaka found it a bit surprised, but Leo and Lucca otherwise didn't.
"What the?!" Homura and Sayaka said confused.
And after Leo snapped his fingers…
"SURPRISE~!" a few voice yelled, as the lights came on, revealing Team Gaim along with Baron pioneers Kyouko, Ky, and Miwa, as well as Team Popup, Nobita, Hideyoshi, and Sayaka's parents there!
"Wha-?! A surprise party?! Thanks!" Sayaka said.
"How come I ain't told about this?" Homura asked.
"Whatever. Anyways, I'm glad you're all here for my party," Sayaka said happily, as she saw a nicely made cake.
"It's Tiramisu Crevasse. I got this cake from… er… Leo-chan and Lucca-chan's parents for your birthday." Nobita lied. In fact, he disguised as Ravioli parents to "steal" the cake.
"Really? Why Papa and Mama didn't tell us about that?" Leo asked.
"I don't think it matters. Thank you, Nobita-kun, Hide-kun."
"You should thank them instead." Hideyoshi said, as Sayaka saw Kyouko lit seventeen candles on the cake, to symbolize Sayaka's 17th birthday.
"C'mon, birthday girl. Make your wish." Kyouko told her. Sayaka then walked over to the cake, and closed her eyes as she thought of her wish.
"I wish I have the power I need to protect everyone…"
She then inhaled and blowed out all the candles, followed by everyone's applauses soon after, while Osomatsu took the photo.
"What'd you wish for?" Madoka asked.
"Well, you know you never tell your wish, otherwise it won't come true." Hitomi answered, as Sayaka looked at the cakes, and then at everyone in the party, who got the present for her each.
"Next, prize time!" Choromatsu yelled, as he and his brothers brought theirs. It was wrapped up, and when Sayaka opened it, what she saw was a small paint container.
"We thought you'd like this, since you've got your nails done yesterday." Osomatsu figured.
"Eh? How'd you know that?" Sayaka asked.
"We were at the mall, around the same time as you and Kyouko-san. Sorry for tailin' ya, though." Karamatsu said.
"Wow, thanks!" Sayaka said, as Himeko brought hers next. She brought up a soccer gear, complete with ball, jersey, shirts, and shorts. The shirt was a replica of uniform for a soccer team from Brazil.
"I think you like soccer, and hopefully this would satisfy you." Himeko pointed out.
"Wow! Thanks, Hime-chan!" Sayaka smiled.
"And me and Kyousuke-kun came up with something for you!" Hitomi beamed, as she and Kamijou brought a smaller box. When it was opened, it contained a necklace with a sapphire in its center.
"Wow, this is so pretty! Thanks, Hitomi-chan, Kyousuke-kun!" Sayaka said happily as she put on the necklace. It looked pretty good with her, to the point she adored this necklace.
"We bought it by two of us." Kamijou said.
"I don't know if this suits you, but hopefully you like it." Homura said, as she brought the books she had bought from a bookstore a day before Sayaka's birthday. Sayaka quickly took the books and looked at them. They looked like the thing she really wanted for long.
"Wow! Thanks, Homu-chan! MLP and Gundam looks so pretty cool!" Sayaka said.
Madoka then handed her another gift, a pink bandanna. It wasn't wrapped up like the rest of the gifts.
"Sorry that I didn't have any time to wrap it, but I think it would suits you." Madoka said.
"It's cute. Thanks." Sayaka thanked.
"And~ the next one!" Miwa yelled as he and Ky brought up a huge Gunpla box, HGUC Neo Zeong Sayaka had won from the lottery earlier.
"Well, actually, we set up the lottery so you can win this prize, so I'd consider this as a gift for ya." Ky explained.
"It doesn't matter. Thank you so much! I've been waiting for this!" Sayaka beamed as she quickly took the Gunpla and hugged it like a teddy bear.
Homura then looked at Nobita and Hideyoshi with suspicious and anxious look, seeing that they hadn't handed Sayaka a present yet. Nobita looked back at her and said, "We've already handed you the present, haven't we?"
Hideyoshi pointed at the cake.
"That's for us all!" Homura clarified.
"B-B-But there's something on the cake!" Nobita gawked in defence as he pointed at the figure above the cake. It was a figure based on anime character, a blonde girl with ponytailed hair in pink dress of some sort.
"Okay. Thanks for the cake and the figure." Sayaka said.
"Alright, as for us, we've present for you!" Sayaka's mom said, as she and her husband brought a box. When Sayaka opened it, it contained a watch, with pretty design of stars and rainbows.
"Thank you, mom, dad!" Sayaka thanked as she put the watch on.
"And here's our present!" Kaori said before blowing a finger-whistle. Soon, the rest of Team Popup and Team Boost gathered on the stage. Kaori, Leo, and Lucca joined with them afterwards.
"One, two, three, go!" Kaori counted before the music began to play.
(Cue BGM: Primary Colors by Kamen Rider Girls)
Team Popup and Team Boost then began their dance. To match with melancholic tune of the music, they danced a bit solemnly and calmer. Soon, Team Popup began to sing the song, with Leo joined as well.
Tomomi: Sora wa ao wo erabi
Isaka: Hoshi wa kin'iro…
Nao: Yuuhi wa orenji
Lucca: Sonna fuu ni minna
Kaori: Jibun dake no iro wo motteru
While Team Gaim and Team Baron watched the two teams performing for Sayaka's birthday, Kyouko poked Sayaka's shoulder.
"What is it, Kyouko-chan?" Sayaka asked.
"I've got something for you." Kyouko whispered at Sayaka's ear, making her blush slightly while wondering what Kyouko meant. Kyouko then headed out of garage, followed by Sayaka.
Team Popup: Onaji you ni bokura no mirai mo ketsudan no toki
Leo: Koi to yume futatsu douji ni wa kitto…
Team Popup & Leo: Motenai kara
(Song in background)
Few moments later, Sayaka and Kyouko arrived at the garage's rooftop. Sayaka was still bewildered of what Kyouko would give to her, until Kyouko brought a cake box.
"What is that?" Sayaka asked. In response, Kyouko opened the box, so Sayaka could see what it was inside. A Berry Fanfare cake, Sayaka's favorite cake. But that's not all. On the cake was a regally-designed silver ring with a diamond on it. The pure silver and pure diamond. While Sayaka was flattered by such expensive gift, she couldn't think why would Kyouko brought a ring of all things. Did she want to propose her or what?
"A-A ring?" Sayaka gawked, mixed between happy or confused.
"Yeah." Kyouko said as she took the ring, and took Sayaka's left hand, so she could put the ring. Honestly to Sayaka, this was a bit awkward and embarrassing, but she had to admit, her best friend was so sincere to bring such gift to her, or at least, what she thought Kyouko was now. Sayaka then looked at the ring. It was very shiny, and looked good to her. She could only amaze how beautiful it was.
"Beautiful…" Sayaka gasped in amazement as she looked at the ring. "Honestly, I don't know what to say about this."
"But there's more." Kyouko said as she suddenly walked over Sayaka. Closer, and even closer. She then lifted Sayaka's head at her chin, and leaned her head closer…
And kissed, at Sayaka's lips, much to the latter's surprise. The warmth of Sayaka's lips, creating a sensually heated sensation. Sayaka could felt the surge of hormones inside her, building up the ecstasy-like stimulus with feel of joy.
After Kyouko broke the kiss, Sayaka could only cover her lips in embarrassment. While Sayaka felt more awkward then before she couldn't deny that she was happy, more than ever. Kyouko then began questioning herself if she had given into her sexual lust just to express her feelings toward Sayaka.
"Did I just… embarrassed you?" Kyouko asked in half-regret.
"Actually, I…" Sayaka tried to answer, albeit with slight embarrassment. She then paused for a while, figuring out what she should answer. Then, she chose to answer, from her honest heart, "I like it."
"Y'know, you're strong, and you may be the power I need. Also, I see the strength in you, so I'll make you stronger." Kyouko said.
"Kyouko-chan…" Sayaka muttered, and paused for few seconds, until she continued with declaration of, "Daisuki!"
Sayaka then suddenly hugged Kyouko and kissed her back. While she was feeling the joyous sensation building up inside her, Kyouko hugged Sayaka back in response while keep kissing, enjoying the warmth of mutual love.
Now, Kyouko and Sayaka weren't just friends anymore. Now they were bound in bonds of love, sincere and honest love. This was most likely the best gift she had ever got in her life...
(End song)
Under the bridge, at the same place where Bravo made his debut, Mami looked at a zipper rip, observing the situation in the forest through. She needed to investigate things thoroughly there. But first, she needed to prepare in case she was about to be ambushed. She then took out her Coffee Lockseed as the first step of her preparation.
"Henshin." Mami announced as she unlocked the Lockseed.
COFFEE~!
As the large coffee bean appeared from the circular zip above her, Mami kissed the Lockseed before putting it on her Sengoku Driver.
LOCK ON!
Then, the rock-styled guitar standby music same as Bravo's played from her belt. Mami then posed with bringing her right hand in front of her chest before taking out a handgun holstered on her left thigh and raising it high, firing it as she cut the lock open.
*guitar riff*
The coffee's lower portion opened up first, so it had some room for it to fall over Mami. As it did so, Mami became clad in brown and black suit. Under the coffee, Mami winked before gaining the helmet, which was Mariachi's. The coffee slice then slid into the helmet, coloring the visor brown, gaining a cowboy hat atop her helmet. The upper portion unfolded, with the outer shells opened up to reveal sets of armor, which then unfolded into place. The shoulder armor had five-pointed stars, which then connected to the outer shells for shoulders forming poncho. The chest armor had aspects of coffee, and diced coffee for abs. The outer shells became the poncho. Upon transforming, Mami gained a pair of El Macchiato.
COFFEE ARMS! WILD WEST GUNMAN! YEE~HAW!
Mami had transformed into Kamen Rider Mariachi.
"Pamonos, Amigo." Mariachi announced as she ran to the rip, entering it. As soon she entered the rip, it closed itself. Soon after, Sid arrived at the scene, smirking of what he would think interesting.
"Woah, woah. A hot scoop, huh? Professor Ryouma and Q.B. would be happy with this." Sid remarked.
(Suddenly the Pineberry, Blackberry, Blueberry, Elderberry, and Kuwa Lockseeds and Hibiscus Lockvehicle flew over the current scene and it zipped closed to form pink background with Fraises logo on it.)
(Cue ending: E-X-A ~Exciting x Attitude~ by Kamen Rider Girls)

(It then switched to Kyouko facing leftward while nomming on chocolate Pocky stick, with her ponytail flailed in same way. On the background were Banana, Mango, Lanzone, and Coconut Lockseeds and silhouetted Coconut Arms over red background with Baron's logo)
Unmei o kirihiraku kagi

(Gaim and Baron were standing back-to-back on greater distance, and then they turned to each other before charging with their respective weapons.)
"Ki o tsukete kimi wa ima unmei o erabou
(The scene switched to a mysterious girl in white turned to viewer and pointing it.)
To shite iru" chūkoku? Imi nante wakarazu
(Gaim was seen battling a horde of Elementary Inves around her. After few slashing and hacking, Gaim kneeled exhausted.)
Tobikonda Battle Field! Hey!
(When viewed from sideways, her helmet was broken, revealing Homura's face at left side, shedding tears. She then rose and roared to her vigor.)
Kimi ga eranda (Hey!)
(Gaim, Baron, Fraise, Ryugen, Zangetsu, Mariachi, Bima, Gridon, Kurokage, Bravo, Viscount, and Asura were having bike race on a circuit. Gaim was on the first place.)

(Gaim jumped as he spun, then landed, posing with her both weapons, and then Team Gaim and Baron finished dancing.)
SID'S LOCKSEED CATALOGUE
At the studio, Sid sipped a coffee while sitting on the usual sofa. There was a plate of crackers on the table, but he seemed not touching any. After placing down the cup of coffee, he began his review.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Back with me Sid in Lockseed Catalogue." Sid began with greeting the readers. He then took out two Lockseeds from his briefcase.
"This time allow me to introduce these locks." Sid said as he showed the locks: Coconut and Coffee. "The first is Coconut."
The TV screen displayed Coconut Lockseed and Sid began the review about it.
"Coconut Lockseed, is one of Premium A-Class Lockseed, and it's supposed to be experimental lock, like Suika! Not to be sold commercially or used in Inves Game. Let's just guess that Kyouko chick got it by picking random fruit from Helheim." Sid explained.
"When used with Sengoku Driver, it grants the user with…"
COCONUT ARMS! MIGHT OF GIANT~!
"Boo-yah! Here's the second giant armor, Coconut Arms!" Sid announced as the screen now displayed images of Baron Coconut Arms in Armor Mode, Ball Mode, and Tank Mode, with its claymore weapon.
"This Coconut Arms is pretty much redesigned Suika Arms, except it's armed with more powerful weapons such as Coconut Cannons and CocoMissiles in its shoulders, and CocoVulcan on its fingertips! With such array of weaponry in your arsenal, you can dominate the field easily! Except it's not that flight capable, but it's still very powerful. Oh, it can swim and float on the water surface too." Sid reviewed about Coconut Arms. Now to review the weapon.
"It's armed with Coconut Buster, a giant sword that double-functions as a huge cannon! And believe me. It's powerful enough to wipe out a dozen of Inves, with a Cannon Mode shot! It's finisher is Megaton Buster, where the user focuses the energy into the cannon before shooting powerful blast, and… BOOM! You're burned!"
"Alright. The next up is Coffee." After reviewing Coconut Arms, Sid changed the topic. This time about another Lockseed to be reviewed. The screen then displayed image of Coffee Lockseed.
"Coffee Lockseed is, one and ONLY A-Ranked nut-based Lockseed, and guess what? It's a Premium A! And so far, only that Mariachi chick has it. And speaking of whom, it turned out to be the one who should be Test Subject 01 at first place…" Sid explained.
"When used with Sengoku Driver, it comes with…"
COFFEE ARMS! WILD WEST GUNMAN~! YEE~ HAW!
"Yee-haw! Coffee Arms a-go-go!" Sid yelled like a cowboy, as the screen now displayed Mariachi Coffee Arms, along with the weapons El Macchiato.
"Yeah, Coffee Arms and Mariachi herself is based on cowboy. Complete with that poncho and hats. Coffee Arms is focused on ranged combat, so despite its bulky nut form, it grants the poncho and minimalist light armor, granting its user with more speed, even more than Mangosteen and Ichigo Arms. The poncho can be used as bulletproof shield and the hat can cut like a chakram! However, while the speed is superb, the attack power is… meh." Sid explained about the Arms. He then explained about the weapons.
"And the weapons, El Macchiatos, are a pair of rifles, that can be fired like a machinegun, and can be combined to snipe an enemy or shoot like shotgun! If you notice carefully, there are guitar-like strings on the combined rifle, but what for? Anyways, the finisher of this Arms is Macchiato del Vendetta, shooting enemy with combined rifle, and powerful piercing blast!"
The screen then turned off, as if telling Sid to conclude his review.
"Alright, that's all for now. As usual, don't forget to read, review, follow, and like this story. Oh, and Pega-Rider's other stories as well. Of course, this chapter is brought to you by Pega-Rider, helped by Pikatwig for this special moment. And guess what? With this chapter done, Movie Wars Sengoku will arrive shortly! This is Sid, and ciao!"
After parted with the readers, Sid sipped the coffee again, and he forgot to touch the crackers, yet again…
Next Time on Kamen Rider Gaim Magica!
Himeko: "We've gotta figure out the rips or we're gonna have a real problem on our hands."
Kyouko: "You won't lay a finger on Sayaka."
Homura: "Let's split up."
KIWI ARMS~! GEKI, RIN! SEI-YA, HA!
LANZONE ARMS! LIGHT OF THE BLADE~!
Kiwi and Lanzone?!
Sid: "We still don't know whom Helheim will choose, after all."
Mariachi: "Let's settle our scores."
Lock 12: The Riders Gather! Solve the Forest's Mysteries!
Pega-Rider: Phew! Another chapter done, at last. Now there are two chapters left to conclude Beat Riders Saga, and Sengoku Movie Battle is about to arrive soon. Anyways, thanks for helping me with this chapter, Pikatwig. Hello…?
Pikatwig: Sorry about that… anyway, I really liked the chapter, and it honored the original from Mega Gaim rather nicely.
Pega-Rider: Okay, bro. Anyways, what part do you like from this chapter?
Pikatwig: The close connection between Sayaka and Kyouko, and their kiss was really adorable.
Pega-Rider: I've gotta agree. It also marks official KyouKa (Kyouko x Sayaka) pairing in this fic! Though, the part I like most is Coconut Arms debut by fighting Gaim in Suika Arms! Wonder how it can bomb the battlefield. Anyways, here's the quiz:
Quiz 1: Can you mention all characters Sayaka "cosplayed" when fitting the clothes?
Quiz 2: During that time, Sayaka dressed as certain character from a game, saying that dressed like her 'being Fraise felt natural'. Who is that character and from what game, and why does it seem to feel 'natural'. (Hint: Kamen Rider Fraise)
Quiz 3: There's a figure on Tiramisu Crevasse cake. What character the figure is based on? (Hint: It's released in S.H. Figuarts line)
PR: As usual, shoot your answers in the review! Oh boy, I can't wait for Sengoku Movie Battle to come soon! By the way we've seen Mariachi's first on-screen henshin! And guess what Sid would do...
Pikatwig: I gotta say, it was an honor being here to help ya. See ya later. Just Live More.
PR: Yeah. Thanks, Pika! This is Pega-Rider, signing off! ON-DORIYAA~!
UPDATE: Fixed some typo and errors, thanks to Seeker213. I forgot to say, that my OCs debuted here, Leo and Lucca, are inspired from Lua/Leo and Luca/Luna from Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's, and the Ravioli parents and Mario are reference from Super Mario Bros, albeit in name only. Also, enjoy the newest trailer!
