Fate/Lock On
Chapter ?: Enter the strongest Armored Rider
Pluck the fruit of Heaven, that the world maybe dyed in your image
Is that the glory you seek? Is that burden one you can bare?
Know this, the lives of men are not ours to control. Not even our own.
We cannot deny the inexorable current of fate that carries us.
But what if fate were to call you…to change the world?
To turn the course of the future?
You cannot defy your fate, but the fate of the world is in your hands…
The air was tense with both panic as well as the sounds of battle and roaring, A loud roar filled the air as both Gaim and Baron engaged the Lion Inves whilst Ryugen stayed back and fired potshots at the red skinned Kaijin, both the orange and banana themed Riders swinging their respective weapons at the red skinned invader who blocked their attempt before slashing at them and forcing them both back.
"Damn," Gaim cursed, "Is it me or does this Inves seem stronger than usual?"
"Who cares," Baron shot back at him, "Let's take this thing down already…"
No sooner had he finished saying this he then ran towards the Lion Inves. "Kaitou..." Gaim called out as he watched the red and yellow charged at the Rider invader, muttering something under his breath Gaim followed after him, the two of them reengaging it.
In an instant both Riders were once more engaged with the red skinned Inves, Gaim coming in from the right whilst Baron came at it from the left, slashing and stabbing at the Lion Inves with their weapons whilst their opponent responded by lashing out at the pair with its sharp claws.
Baron managed to duck out of the way of his red skinned opponents attempts to slash at him Baron watched as the Inves turned its attention to Gaim, seeing it swiped at the blue and orange Samurai with its claws. Seeing this an idea popped into his head, acting quickly the red and yellow Rider hooked his Bana Spear around the Lion Inves's left arm, grabbing the shaft of his weapon as he did his best to keep its arm restrained.
Noticing this, Gaim quickly followed his lead, grabbing onto the Lion Inves's right arm, both he and Baron doing their best to pin down the red skinned creature's arms.
"Kureshima," Gaim called out as he struggled to keep a hold of the restrained Inves's arm, "Do it now…"
"Right Shirou-san…" Ryugen replied, pulling back the hammer of his Budou Ryugen and unleashed a barrage of shots at the pinned down Lion Inves.
As it was Pelted by fire from the Chinese themed Gunslinger the Lion Inves's growl gradually became louder until, with a loud roar, it managed to free its arms from Gaim and Baron's hold and tossed the pair of them aside.
Free once more the red skinned creature turned its attention on Ryugen and lunged towards him, seemingly unfazed by the shots fired at it as before slashing at the green and purple clad Armored Rider with enough force to knock him off of his feet and knocked him to the ground, his armor vanishing off of him body and revealing Kureshima Mitsuzane who winced in pain.
"No, Kureshima…" Gaim cried out, sound worried at seeing his friend sprawled out on the ground with the Lion Inves standing over him.
Beneath his helmet Baron scowled at the sight of Ryugen going down, quickly he reached down to his Sengouku Driver and made three quick cuts with the cutting blade attached to it
BANNA SPARKLING…
Letting out a cry, the leader of Team Baron stabbed his Bana Spear into the ground from which a line of semi transparent banana shaped constructs emerged in a line headed towards the red skinned Inves.
"Wha…what the…?" The knightly themed Rider exclaimed, gobsmacked at the fact his attack had been thwarted so easily.
Seeing the stunned state that the red and yellow Rider was in, the Lion Inves lunged at Baron, and unleashed several brutal slashes at him before tossing Baron to the ground near to where Micchy lay, much like his companion, Kaitou's armor vanished as he was sent sprawling across the ground.
"Kaitou…Kureshima…" Gaim called out, shocked that the two of them had been beaten so easily. 'Damnit…"
Grabbing his Daidaimaru, the orange Samurai Rider connected it to his Musou Saber, combining the two swords together into their Nagamata mode. That done, he then detached his Orange Lockseed from his Driver and attached it to the connection slot on his Musou Saber.
LOCK ON!
With a cry, Gaim charged at the Lion Inves, Orange energy coursing along his weapon as he twirled it, whilst at the same time a sphere of glowing orange energy appeared around the Lion Inves, seemingly trapping it in place.
1…10…100…1,000…10,000! ORANGE CHARGE!
Drawing closer Gaim went to slash at the Lion Inves…only for to shatter the sphere containing it before reaching up and caught his blade and block his swing, fixing the Samurai Rider with a steely glare, all the while Gaim had a dumbfounded look on his face behind his helmet.
"N…no…" He exclaimed, stunned at the idea that the Inves had managed to block his attack. "H…how…?"
A snarl rumbling in its throat the Lion Inves tightened its grip on Gaim's weapon and with a powerful pull it yanked it free from the Rider's grip before using it to slash him across the chest.
Far from done the Inves then grabbed Gaim by the throat and tossed him to the ground alongside Kaitou and Micchy, his armor vanishing as he hit the ground.
The red skinned Inves looming over them when all of a sudden a barrage of glowing red bolts appeared and struck it in the chest, causing it to halt its advance towards the three fallen boys.
"I think that's quite enough don't you…" A voice announced, Shirou, Kaitou and Micchy as well as the Lion Inves turned their heads in the direction in which it had come from and saw a figure clad in shadow standing there.
"Wha…" Shirou exclaimed as he stared at the shadowy figure that stood a fair distance away from himself, Kaitou and Micchy.
"Who's there…" Kaitou demanded, "Show yourself…"
The figure stepped forward. "T…Tohsaka…" Shirou exclaimed.
"Wha…what's she doing here?" Micchy added.
"Rin, get out of here." Kaitou told the Tohsaka heiress, his tone forceful. "It's too dangerous for you to be here."
"Don't worry boys, I got this." Rin said, as she said these words she pulled out a pair of items, the first was a Sengoku Driver that she placed in her middle, the familiar yellow strap emerging from it and securing the device around her waist. The second was a Lockseed that was of similar design to Micchy's Budou lock.
"Besides, this situation clearly requires a woman's touch…" Rin continued as she popped the lock on the Lockseed, a zip like opening appearing in the air above her.
CHERRY…
"Wha…what the," Shirou said as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Tohsaka had a Lockseed?"
A smirk on her face, Rin twirled the Lockseed on her finger in a manner similar to Baron before the ebony haired teen attached it to the Sengoku Driver around her waist and closed the lock.
LOCK ON…
Turning her body slightly to the side, Rin extended her hand out towards the Lion Inves, her hand taking the appearance of a finger gun. "Henshin…" Rin declared, curing her extended hand upwards as she used her other hand to grip the cutting board and cut into her Lockseed, the front of the item falling open.
All of a sudden Rin was clad in a bodysuit that was black and red with decorative patterns woven into the material picked out in black and two lengths of a decorative drapes draped not dissimilar to the ones on Ryugen's suit extended down from her belt, one in front of her length and the other was behind her, and her head was covered with a teardrop shaped helmet that featured a pair of large orange lenses.
At the same time the zipper opened and from it a folden up armor that was similar to the Budo armor, the berries and side panels on this one being red, emerged and folded open as draped itself on top of the new Rider, completing her transformation.
(trumpets) COME ON, CHERRY ARMS! IMPECCABLE GENIUS RIN…
"Hmm, not bad." The newly transformed Rider said as she examined herself before looking over in the direction of the Lion Inves "Well, since I'm a member of Team Baron I guess that it's only correct that I be called Armored Rider…Baroness."
"To…Tohsaka…Tohsaka is an Armored Rider?" Shirou exclaimed.
"Baroness…!" Micchy added, just as taken aback by this as Shirou was.
The Lion Inves however didn't as impressed as Shirou, Kaitou and Micchy were however, letting out another roar the red skinned invader quickly moved to engage her. Seeing this Baroness smirked beneath her helmet.
"Alright big guy, let's play…" She said as she assumed her fighting stance as the Lion Inves drew closer, ducking and weaving out of the way of the red skinned otherworldly creatures' attempts to slash at her, dropping to and delivering a punch to the creature's gut which forced it to take several steps backwards.
Not letting up, Baroness quickly followed this up with a barrage of punches and kicks to the Inves, not giving it many chances to respond and any time it did find an opening she easily managed to avoid its attempts to retaliate.
"W…whoa," Micchy said, awe in his voice. "I had no idea that Tohsaka-san was this amazing."
"Of course she is," Kaitou told him. "Team Baron accepts only the best."
"Tohsaka, you're really awesome," Shirou said, a look of awe on his face as he watched the red and black Rider single handedly engage the Lion Inves, "You're not only a first class Magus, your also the most popular girl in school a high ranked member of Team Baron and a powerful Armored Rider."
As the three boys gushed over her, Baroness easily dodging out of the way of the Lion Inves attempts to slash at her, as she did so she pulled a weapon that was similar in design to Ryugen's Budou Ryugen, the hammer and bottom part of the grip were silver rather than green and the grape-like pattern on the magazine were red instead of purple.
Shifting her body Baroness pointed her weapon at the Lion Inves's chest before unleashing a barrage of gunfire at the creature which caused it to fall back a few steps.
Snarling in pain and annoyance the red skinned lunged at Baroness again, slashing at her with its claws. Unfazed by this, Baroness dropped to the ground and dropped into a roll, once again avoid the Inves's attempt to slash her, in the process she scooped up Ryugen's discarded weapons and pointed it and her own at the Lion Inves, unloading a barrage of shots at the creature who howled as it stumbled backwards.
Letting out a chuckle, Baroness quickly rose back up to her feet. "Alright big guy, as fun as this has been it's time to wrap this up…" She said as she tossed Ryugen's weapon aside before giving the cutting blade on her Driver a quick slice.
CHERRY SQUASH…
Pointing her weapon in the air, Baroness fired off several shots, four large red spheres emerging from it that hovered there in midair. Bending her knees Baroness leapt up onto the first sphere before jumping to the second and then the third, from the third she then back flipped onto the side of the fourth and launched herself towards the Lion Inves, twisting her body into a flying drop kick as red energy gathered around her outstretched foot before it connected with the Inves chest and sent it stumbling backwards, the Lion Inves letting out a loud roar before it was suddenly engulfed in a large explosion.
"And just like that I win," Baroness said, smugness in her voice, "Like there was any doubt."
All of a sudden the sound of footsteps was heard and looking round the Cherry Rider found herself surrounded by a sea of people, all of them gazing at her with looks of admiration in their faces.
"That was amazing Tohsaka-san," Micchy told her. "You took down that Inve like it was nothing."
"Tohsaka," hearing his voice Baroness turned to look at Shirou, the rust haired teen looking at her with a look of admiration. "You really are amazing."
"Don't be so surprised Emiya, like I said only the best get to join Team Baron." Kaitou said, his visage suddenly dominating Baroness's vision, the brunette flashing her a sly smile. "Rin, as far as I am concerned, there's no one better."
"O…of course, what were you expecting?" Baroness replied, thankful for her helmet so that both Kaitou and Shirou couldn't see the blush that was decorating her cheeks.
All of a sudden there was a change in the atmosphere, the air of joy and adulation instantly shifting to fear and panic.
"N…no…no it can't be…" Micchy exclaimed, a sudden look of terror on his face.
"No, no…this can't happen now…" Kaitou added.
"What's going on?" Baroness asked. All of a sudden she felt a pair of hands grab her by the shoulders and looking round found a panicked looking Shirou looking at her. "E…Emiya…"
"Help us Tohsaka," Shirou proclaimed with fear in his voice, "If you don't do something the world will end."
Before Baroness could respond to this a high pitched ringing noise was heard and the world around turned a blinding white.
The ringing noise blaring echoing Rin begrudgingly opened her eyes, turning her head she was greeted by the sight of her alarm clock, the annoying noise that infernal device produced having pulled her from her slumber.
"Damn…" She groaned to herself before reaching out and slamming her hand down on top of the accursed item, the infernal noise ceasing as she switched it off. That done Rin let out a groan as she flopped back against the bed, lying spread out on the mattress.
AN And like that another chapter is fini.
First of all, before we get to everything else, for everyone who is reading this chapter after the fact, this particular chapter came out on April 1st and is meant to be a joke. So if any of the contents bothers you it's not meant to be taken seriously.
As for this instalment itself its actually something I've been sitting on for a good while, I originally had the idea for this scene it was meant to be as a part of Fate/Kaigan and would have featured the characters from that story. However at some point I realised that the basic idea of Shirou and the secondary Rider going up against a monster and get beaten by it only for Rin to step in, transform into a Kamen Rider and defeats a monster only for the whole thing to be a dream could also work in just about Fate/Kamen Rider story, hence why this version also has Kaitou and Micchy in it.
Oh, and if anyone's wondering if this dream sequence is meant to imply some kind of foreshadowing, yes and no. No Rin dose not become a Rider, not in this story anyway. However what it dose foreshadow, since we all know how Gaim's story plays out, is Rin's divided loyalty when it comes to Shirou and Kaitou and whose side is she going to pick when the time comes to chose a time. Obviously Rin likes Shirou like she dose in the canon FSN story however as part of this story Rin has known Kaitou for a long time as well as being a member of Team Baron so as you can imagine choosing between the two of them is not going to be an easy choice for her.
As for Baroness herself her suit is a recolored version of the one worn by Marika, which itself is was a retool version of the Ryugen suit, along with a recolored version of Budou armor as well as the gun that comes with it. And her Rider name is Baroness because in this story she's part of Team Baron. As for why I gave Rin the Cherry Lockseed I figured that why no use we've seen Melon Arms in the show and we got to see Ryoma use Lemon Arms in the Gaim Gaiden Duke which is set at a point in Gaim prior to him perfecting the Genesis Driver and the creation of the Energy Lockseeds, I figured why not go for Cherry Arms since it and Peach are ones we've never seen.
As for the chant its somewhat inspired by the chant that the Lemon Lockseed makes: Come On! Lemon Arms! Incredible Ryo~ma! So yeah, the Lockseed that Ryoma uses has a chant that is literally an ego stroke for himself. Plus since thus whole thing is Rin's dream of course it makes sense that her Lockseed to talk about how great she is.
And like that I'm done for now. As always feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you all thought of this one, did you like it, was it funny? I promise I'll write a proper Fate/Lock On chapter at some point, I just need to figure out what it should be about.
See you all for the next instalment were we'll be back to the usual schedule.
Till next time, peace out y'all.
