Kamen Rider Gaim - Zawame War: Overlord Arc

Kenzaki Hiyori

Armored Rider Gaim



"Okay, don't panic." Hiyori said to herself as she ran deeper and deeper into the woods. "This is...this is just a dream. Yes. You fell asleep worrying about the Inves Game, and now you're here. All you need to do is wake -uah!"

Hiyori slipped, tumbling down a long hill. In the confusion, her hand struck the mysterious belt buckle.

~Soiya~

The knife on the belt buckle struck the ocked Orange Lockseed, slicing it open.

A large, metallic orange appeared above Hiyori, following her as she tumbled.

The hill ended at a cliff side. The girl could not find a grip as she fell to her demise. To make matters worse, the large orange hand landed on Hiyori's head, obscuring her vision. Her bondy was enveloped in a splash of orange and blue light, forming into a blue body suit.

Orange Arms!
Hanamichi on Stage!

As the Orange folded open to reveal a set of Samurai Armor, Hiyori could feel a surge of power overwhelm her.

Looking through her orange "Pulp Eye", Hiyori's mind began to focus. As the Daidaimaru appeard in her hands, she struck it into the cliffside, slowing her decent. She reached the bottom with a soft thud.

"I'm alive?" Hiyori checked herself for any sign of injury or death. "I'm alive!"

The girls heart sank when she saw that she was surrounded by Inves monsters. She knew that there was no way out unless she fought

"Hey, hey hey, Zawame City!" DJ Sagara chanted. "It's that time. Team Baron versus Team Gaim The top team versus the not-so-hot team. Will Gaim's luck hold out? Rumor has it that their former leader will be taking the stage. But will it be enough to defeat Baron Leader, Sasuke Kumon? The battle starts in five minutes! Let's Go!"

A crowd had gathered under the bridge, where Team Gaim and Team Baron would be facing off. The Gaim group were huddled together as they waited for the battle to begin.

"Where is she?" The team began to ask. Hiyori was still nowhere to be seen and battle was only minutes away. Had she really let them all down?  

[Dark The Dragon Emperor]

Sasuke Kumon

Sasuke met up with his team and told them the news. They got excited at the idea of finally beating their long time rival. They practiced dancing for a while until the time for the battle came. Sasuke walked at the head of his Team and grinned seeing Gaim. "You guys ready to lose?" He asked, brimming with confidence. He then looked around but didn't spot Hiyori anywhere. "Hm, seems to me like you leader has chosen to abandon you for good. So sad how one thing can make the strong fall so far." He said laughing, his team mates joining him. There was only a few minutes left until the battle started. If she didn't show it would be his win for sure.

Kizoku wandered through the crowd, observing everyone closely. He kept his inventory close at hand, selling Lockseeds where he could. However people were more occupied with the upcoming fight, than preparing for their own.

He looked at his watch. Only moments to go before the fight would commence. He hoped all the hype was worth it - otherwise he was wasting his time.

The sun began to dip, turning the sky a vibrant pink color. It was time to start but Hiyori was nowehere to be seen.

Team Gaim looked crushed. Was the fight over before it even started?

"Kumon!" Hiyori called out, pushing her way through the crowd. Her clothes were torn, her face was smeared with dirt and blood, but the look of confidence in her face was fierce.

The crowd moved back, creating a clearing for Hiyori and Sasuke to duel. Her former team mates stood behind her, holding various banners and signs. Hiyori pointed to Sasuke, calling him out.

"Three dance stages, that's the deal. When I win, Team Gaim gets their pick of the good ones." Hiyori held her Orange Lockseed at the ready.

Sasuke Kumon

Sasuke sighed as time was up and Hiyori was nowhere to be seen. This was truly disappointing. Just then he herd his name being called and he turned to the girl, surprised by the state she was in. He saw the look in her eyes though and grinned. "Glad you made it." He said pulling out the Banna Lockseed. He laughed at the girls confident words but it was good to have the old Hiyori back. "You mean if you win. I have become a lot stronger since you decided to take a break." He said clicking the button on the side of the lock. A zipper opened up in the sky and a Lion like Inves fell out of it and into the ring that appeared. "You ready?" He asked grinning.

Hideyuki was taking his usual lunch break from work when he heard the excited commotion going on close by. He had moved to the Zawame City several months ago due this teaching job transferring him to another branch office, but he still was relatively new to the area and still had figure out his way around.

Despite him knowing that he only having a few more minutes before having to go back to work, he decided to quickly finish his meal and go over to see what all the fuss was about. Once Hideyuki had gotten up and over to where everyone was, he found to his amusement that the dance off was already underway.

What's going on here? he caught himself almost asking aloud.

He had from some of his co-workers of that these "Beat Rider" contests were a popular way for a few of the youngsters to express themselves, but he himself didn't really see the point off it as where he had come from in lower Kyusyuu they had nothing of the sort like this and had other ways of expressing their individuality.

However this time however as the gathered onlookers became more densely packed around him and started to cheer loudly at the game going on he felt somewhere deep inside himself that this time was some how different.

Hideyuki then watched in astonishment as it looked like chibi-sized monster was summoned by one of the players by what appeared to be a lock of some kind.

"You are not the only one who's found strength." Hiyori replied, pressing on the large button on the side of her Lockseed.

Orange

A zipper opened up above her, revealing a large, metallic orange that slowly descended from the sky.

"I've got it." Hiyori thought to herself.

---
Her mind flashed back to the pile on Inves that she had to fight her way through. During the battle, she saw the blonde haired girl once again.

"The world you see here is just a glimpse of what is to come. Your city is in great danger, and you are The Key."

"What...what do you mean?" Hiyori yelled out as she pushed her way through the Inves monsters. But it was too late, the girl had already disappeared. In her place, however, was another crack that was slowly closing.

Hiyori had to act fast. She sliced her way through enough monsters to create a path for herself as she ran towards the exit.

---
"I don't know what she meant, but I know what I have to do. If Momo's life is in danger...it's my job to protect her. Somehow, these games are involved. I know it.

To the amazement of everyone around her, Hiyori took a step into the virtual fighting ring.

"Henshin!" she commanded, docking the Lockseed into her belt.

Lock On

A feudal tune began to play from the belt before Hiyori slammed on the knife, slicing the Orange Lockseed open.

~Soiya~

The orange landed on Hiyori's head, enveloping her once more in the blue and gold armor.

Orange Arms!
Hanamichi on Stage!

The shocked silence of the crowd was filled with cheers and excitement as the armor folded out around her.

Incredible! DJ Sagara yelled. Beat Rider, Hiyori Kenzaki has transformed into some sort of...Armored Rider! Let's give it up for Armored Rider Gaim!"

Gaim reached for her sidearm, The Muso Saber, ready for the holographic monster to attack. She was glad that they were much smaller in this form.

Sasuke Kumon

Sasuke was surprised when an orange came from the zipper instead of a Inves. It was only then that he noticed she was wearing one of the belts Kizoku had tried to sell to him earlier. She stepped into the ring and donned a samurai looking armor. Sasuke was amazed and surprised but he couldn't lose focus right now! "Go get her!" He ordered the Inves. It growled before jumping up at the girl, trying to get at her with it's claws.

Hideyuki was stunned in almost jaw-dropping amazement as he watched the girl, who he by assumed was one of the dance group's leaders, not only enter the ring with the Inves, but also don an oddly shaped belt onto her waist.

He heard other onlookers around him not their own surprise as it seemed this wan't something that normally happened during an Inves battle or Beat Riders dance off. "Oh? Looks like things are going to get pretty interesting over here," he commented to himself before he and the others around him watched as the young woman, who had by now activated her own lockseed, had a zipper-like crack above her open up to reveal a metallic, orange-shapped armor descending towards her.

The next instant, Hideyuki heard the announcer describe what now stood before him as an armored rider. Armored Rider? "Gaim?" he exclaimed aloud, "just what is going on here?!"

He knew what he just saw was simply impossible. There was was no way that a normal person could transform like that into something like that, much less using an orange, outside of comic books or the extreme outskirts of science fiction!

Or was there? Hideyuki thoughtfully pondered as he surprisingly found himself eagerly awaiting to see how the battle before him would begin to unfold.

Gaim stepped forward, swinging her Muso Saber as the Lion Inves approached her. The monster flew back, sending a wave of sparks into the air.

She switched her saber to gun mode, firing off a series of shots at the monster, pushing it closer and closer to the edge of the ring.

The crowd was loving it. Not only was there a new way to play Inves, but Baron was starting to look like the losers in this battle.

((don't forget what happens when you drop a Lockseed during battle lol))

Sasuke Kumon

Sasuke frowned as she handled the little monster with ease. Their was nothing he could do! "Don't worry boss we got this!" Sasuke was surprised and turned around and saw his team mates aiming a rock at her, most likely to make her drop her weapon. He moved quickly and blocked the shot making him drop the banna Lockseed instead. He glared back at his team mates. "You idiots! Don't you dare think about cheating. Only the weak need to use tactics like that." He then herd a vicious roar and turned around once more seeing the beast grow in size and break the arena. He picked up his lockseed and ran over to it. "Hey! You still have to do as I say!" He said trying to control the beast. It simply knocked him away making hit the ground hard and roll away. It was then that people started to panic. He got up again and grumbled under his breath. He had to do something about this before it got out of hand. It was then that he noticed the beast was staring at him. He looked down at his hand and grinned. "You want this don't you?" He asked holding up the lock seed. "Come and get it!" He said before running away with the beast following after him. He had to get it to a less populated area!

Hideyuki gasped as the monster somehow managed to break through the glowing yellow battlefield that had been containing it, like most of the other spectators towards the back of the crowd he hadn't realized the confrontation between the captain of the team opposing the armored rider's until it was to late.

Hideyuki's eyes then widened in horror before he turned to run away from the horror that was no doubt taking place behind him. He took refuge behind a nearby concrete pillar, peaking around it as he tried to calm down his own fear just long enough to see Sasuke attempting lure beast away to another location.

I knew I should just have walked away, Hideyuki reprimanded himself bitterly.

He pulled his head away a few seconds later, still breathing heavily from his panic before stealing another quick glance. Despite telling himself of the danger and that he should flee to safety like the rest were, Hideyuki decided to leave hi hiding place and follow them.

"Kumon, no!" Gaim yelled when the Baron Leader dropped his Lockseed. She watched as the monster flickered into reality, growing full size. She swung at the monster but it was to fast, it had already began to chase after Sasuke.

"Dammit." She cursed, reaching for her Lockseeds. Gaim withdrew her Lock Vehicle, the Sakura Hurricane, and activated it. The Lockseed unfolded, growing in size as it formed the white and pink motorcycle.

Gaim drove off after the Lion, leaving the crowd in total confusion.

Kizoku watched with amusement s Hiyori transformed into the Armored Rider. How he girl managed to get her hand on one, he had no idea - but it did explain why he was one short.

When the Lion Inves ran off, Kizoku reached for his own Sengoku Driver, but stopped. He would let the new girl try and handle it first, just to see what she was capable of. If she died, then he would help. Probably.

"In the mean time." Kizoku smiled to himself as he gazed around the audience. One man in particular caught his attention.

The Lock Dealer stopped Hideyuki as the man began to chase after the fight.

"Woah, woah, woah." Kizoku exclaimed, holding out a hand to stop the man. "Just where do you think your going?"
