A HAUNTING GAME CHANGER

Gaim groaned as he supported himself against the tree. The battle with Bujin Gaim to reclaim his body wasn't going so well. Ryugen and Idunn had already been taken out, leaving him to face the demon that possessed his body, alone.

Gaim was starting to question his idea of not getting any backup now.

"There's no way you can win, Gaim. You don't have the power to win. Why don't you give up?" Bujin Gaim said.

"I guess you're right. My power isn't enough," Gaim remarked. "But what if I borrowed the power of other Riders?"

He held up the Ghost Lockseed and unlocked it.

[GHOST!]

The Ghost Armor Part had an orange face, big round black eyes and a single curved horn on the forehead.

[SOIYA!]

The Lockseed was sliced open, revealing the image of the GhostDriver in the core and the Ore Eyecon on the lid's backside.

[GHOST ARMS! IDAINA SEISHIN NO ME, OPEN! (Eye of the great spirit, open!)]

The Ghost Armor Part landed on Gaim's head and disassembled to form armor over his Ride Wear suit. The upper half split in half as the middle of the top detached and folded onto his back with the horn flushed against his back. The two halves of the head mounted on the shoulders. The mouth portion folded onto his chest, giving him a black chestpiece which had orange lapels on the side and an eye-like emblem. His helmet was revealed, sporting a black headpiece and a visor that looked like two large round black eyes over a glowing orange background. A curved horn extended from his helmet crest.

"I believe in myself!"

He had become Armored War God Gaim Ghost Arms.

Gaim jumped up and levitated, leaving a trail of orange energy as he flew towards Bujin Gaim. He summoned the Gan Gun Saber, which was a black and silver broadsword with an eye emblem in the centre of the guard. Crossing the gap, he slashed and Bujin Gaim raised his Blood Drake Tail Sword to block.

The two were in a deadlock as they pushed against each other. Gaim then twirled his arms around to force the Blood Drake Tail Sword to the ground and punched Bujin Gaim in the face, stunning him. He then performed a powerful swing, slicing Bujin Gaim across the chest with the blade of the GanGun Saber.

"Time to put you to sleep!"

He held the Gan Gun Saber in front of the Ghost Lockseed, lining up the eye emblem with the image of the GhostDriver in the Lockseed.

[DAI KAIGAN! OMEGA BREAK!]

A massive eye made of energy formed behind Gaim and the energy from it flowed into the Gan Gun Saber. Gaim performed a slash. The energy of the slash burst as it hit Bujin Gaim and exploded.

As the smoke clear, Bujin Gaim had taken damage. His cape was gone, but he was otherwise fine. There was a slight crack on his Lockseed, though.

Tossing the Gan Gun Saber aside, Gaim took out another Legend Rider Lockseed.

"Time for a game changer!" Gaim announced.

[EX-AID!]

The Ex-Aid Armor Part descended. For a Legend Rider Armor Part, it looked strange. Almost cartoony. It was silver but with cartoony orange eyes with white pupils in a pair of goggles and spiky pink 'hair' on the helmet. The mouthplate was silver with a black gap between the visor and mouthplate.

[LOCK ON!]

"Dai...Henshin!"

[SOIYA!]

The Ex-Aid Lockseed was sliced open, revealing the GamerDriver in the core. The Mighty Action X Gasshat was displayed on the lid's backside.

The Ex-Aid Armor Part landed on Gaim and disassembled. The top half folded onto his back to give him a backpack while the mouthplate folded onto his chest. The chestplate looked like a gamepad with four button on the left colored yellow, red, green and blue in a clockwise order. Next to it was a life gauge. The sides folded onto his shoulders, giving him shoulderpads. The headpiece he had on gave him spiky pink hair on the back of the helmet and also the same goggles and cartoony eyes as the Armor Part in his visor.

[EX-AID ARMS! MIGHTY DOCTOR~! LEVEL UP! ACTION GAMER X~!]

"Let's clear this game with no continues!"

[GASHACON BREAKER!]

A large white and pink mallet appeared in Gaim's right hand. It had a pink A-button and green B-button.

"Hey, Nise! Ever played Whack-a-Mole?"

Gaim leaped towards Bujin Gaim and smashed him in the head with the Gashacon Breaker.

HIT!

He repeatedly assaulted Bujin Gaim, whacking him over and over again, overwhelming with devastating blows and painful strikes.

HIT! HIT!

HIT! HIT! HIT!

GREAT!

A few swings to the chest sent Bujin Gaim sailing. He smashed right into his throne.

"You bastard!" Bujin Gaim yelled as he manipulated the Helheim vines to attack. The vines lashed out at Gaim. Gaim dodged from the vines while he tapped the mallet's A-button.

JA-KIN!

A pink blade popped out of the top of the Gashacon Breaker. Gaim then tapped the B-button twice. When the vines came at him, he sliced them to shreds.

Bujin Gaim drew his personal sword and lunged at Gaim. Sparks blasted off their weapons as they connected. Bujin Gaim was ferocious as he attacked Gaim with fierce strikes. However, Gaim proved to have the advantage as he broke through his enemy's guard and landed a series of critical blows.

HIT! HIT! HIT! HIT!

GREAT! GREAT!

Bujin Gaim staggered back. He could barely stand after taking so much damage and he cursed his weakness.

Gaim could see that he had already softened up Bujin Gaim, so now it was time he initiated the finisher. He tossed his weapon aside and hit his SengokuDriver's Cutting Blade.

[SOIYA! EX-AID SQUASH! MIGHTY CRITICAL STRIKE!]

Bright and colorful energy crackled around Gaim's right foot. He gave it a wiggle then put it behind him as he bent his legs like he was about to run. Clenching his fists, he prepared himself and leaped towards Bujin Gaim.

Gaim first executed a front snap kick, hitting Bujin Gaim in the chest.

HIT!

Gaim performed a flip and then executed a bicycle kick that hit Bujin Gaim's waist.

HIT! HIT! HIT! HIT!

GREAT!

And finally he performed an axe kick that crashed upon Bujin Gaim's skull.

PERFECT!

Bujin Gaim screamed as he exploded and Gaim landed on one knee before rising to his feet to punch the air.

"Yosha! Game Clear!" announced Gaim.

Bujin Gaim lay on the ground, his stolen body smoking. The Blood Orange Lockseed shattered.

Gaim suddenly felt a pull and was tugged towards his body. He phased right into his body.

Nagata opened his eyes and sat up. Smiling, he held the two Rider Lockseeds, Ghost and Ex-Aid.

"Thank you both."
