The New Arms! Jimba Cherry is Born!

[Andrea & Mai]

ICHIGO ARMS! SHUSHUUTO SPARK!

"All right, why are we back here again?" An already transformed Andrea asked as she threw a Ichigo Kunai at an Elementary Inves. "I get it, you can go into Helheim whenever you please, but why bring me?"

"If there's going to be a battle ahead, you need to be prepared," Mai told her, sitting in a tree above her. "I know you've had fighting experience, but not with weapons. Plus, you haven't even used Pine or Ichigo yet."

"And those weird Lockseeds, right? The shiny ones I can't use with the Driver normally?"

Mai nodded. "Right. You have to be ready for anything, especially against another Rider. If your fight with Natsumi was any indication..."

"D-Don't bring it up!" The Rider exclaimed as she threw another kunai. "I get it, I get it! Just... don't talk about that so lightly!"

[Yoko Minato]

Yoko had lost respect for Takatora ever since he lost the battle with.. someone, but she had to admit going off into the forest by yourself took courage. She decided to tail him in order to see if he happened to come in contact with the sentient Invess. It would be a sight to see most defiantly.

She hopped from tree to tree when she heard the distinct cry of a Sengoku Driver.

"Hmm?"

Takatora will have to wait, she thought, this warrants investigating. She changed direction, traveling along until she came upon a pair of women, one transformed, the other in a strange form of dress. She hid herself in the tree and began to watch.

[Andrea & Mai]

She inserted the Lockseed into the Musou Saber and charged it before swinging the blade at an incoming group, which created a strawberry that shot many kunai at them, destroying them all. "Holy crap!!" Andrea exclaimed. "That was awesome!!"

"I'm glad you think so... Ichigo Arms isn't as powerful as Orange Arms, but it makes up for it with its speed."

"You weren't kidding, this form makes me feel lighter..." Andrea smiled as she took out Pine from her holder.

[Yoko Minato]

Yoko continued her observation. She had heard reports of an orange rider, but had yet had time to investigate into it further - until now of course.

[Andrea & Mai]

Andrea replaced Ichigo with Pine and cut it open.

PINE ARMS! FUNSAI DESTROY!

Spinning the weapon in her hands, she looked at it. "Now this looks like it can do some damage," she said before throwing it, leaving a dent in the ground.

"Please be careful..." Mai said as she rolled her eyes. "Swinging that around willy-nilly is dangerous."

[Yoko Minato]

"That fool is going to get herself hurt," Yoko said, not even bothering to hide herself anymore, "But please go on, I'm in need of a good laugh."

[Andrea & Mai]

Both women turned around to face Yoko, and Andrea groaned. "Oh, great. Yggdrasil, I presume?" she asked.

[Yoko Minato]

"Oh, you've heard of us," she said in a not even shocked tone of voice, "But that is correct. I assume you're not then?"

[Andrea & Mai]

"My roommate has a beef against you lot," she commented. "And no, I'm not. Are you here to start something too?"

[Yoko Minato]

"Well, I mean I have every probable cause too. You know about the forest AND you're wearing a Driver. You've also seen my face, a big no-no. Tell me, what should I do?"

[Andrea & Mai]

"Walk away and pretend this never happened?" Andrea asked. "Because I'm perfectly fine with that option."

[Yoko Minato]

"Not going to happen," she shook her head.

[Andrea & Mai]

"Worth a shot..." She shrugged before pointing her sword. "Well, if you're gonna fight, then transform."

[Yoko Minato]

"Quick to get into it huh? I even gave you a chance to run."

[Andrea & Mai]

"What kind of girl do you think I am? I'm not a coward."
