A Couple of Nuts [Seto]

[Seto Arai]

Seto narrowed his eyes. "No. Now get out of here, oji-san."

[Hideyasu Jonouchi]

In one swift movement, Jon picked up some dirt off the ground and throw it at Seto's eyes.

While he was caught off guard, he then tries to flip Seto over his shoulder.

[Seto Arai]

And it worked, Seto couldn't react fast enough and he was easily tossed over, causing him to land on his back and cough in pain.

"Why you-!" Seto said to him and secured his Lockseed onto his Sengoku Driver.

'Lock On! Soiya! Matsubokkuri Arms! Ichigeki In the Shadow!'

[Hideyasu Jonouchi]

Jon did the same, his giant metal fruit colliding with Seto's giant metal nut.

LOCK ON! DURIAN ARMS! MISSSTER DAAAANGEROUS!

"That's what they call me," he took a bow.

[Seto Arai]

Seto's delayed transformation caused his armor to take longer to form, but he was able to get back up and hack his spear towards him.

[Hideyasu Jonouchi]

Jon easily spun out of the way of the strike before going in for one of his own aimed for just below the armor.

[Seto Arai]

The Durinoko hit him in the abdomen and Seto recoiled back in pain.

"Ah mou!" he cursed and charged again, this time going for a spinning swing aimed at the Durian Rider.

[Hideyasu Jonouchi]

Jon parried it with his own spinning maneuver and then attempted to hit Seto with a swift roundhouse kick.

[Seto Arai]

The swift kick knocked Seto cleanly on his ass, but that was far from stopping him. He kicked back up and activated one of his finishers.

'Matsubokkuri Squash!'

"Take this!" he shouted and his Kagematsu was quickly enveloped by black aura as he charged forward for one more strike.

[Hideyasu Jonouchi]

"Oh? So quick to pull out a finishing maneuver are we? Do you truly wish to end our battle right at its start?"

DURIAN SQUASH

He charged up a single blade before allowing Seto to strike him and then attempted to smash his Driver when he got close enough.

[Seto Arai]

Seto grunted loudly as the Durian finisher easily smashed through into him and it was enough to blast his Lockseed off his Sengoku Driver, canceling his transformation in the process.

He coughed heavily when he hit the floor, writhing in pain by Jon's attack, before realizing he just reverted back to normal. Desperately, he tried to reach for his Matsubokkuri Lockseed laying on the floor.

[Hideyasu Jonouchi]

"I apologize.." he said as he placed his foot on the Lockseed so close in Seto's reach, "For such a cheap blow, but I believe it would be in both our best interests if you gave up on being a soldier."

[Seto Arai]

Seto reluctantly stopped reaching for his Lockseed, but his glare at the Durian Rider was as pissed as ever. "Why the hell are you doing this?!"

[Hideyasu Jonouchi]

Jon peered back at his rage filled eyes with his own eyes, his, though, were filled with great melancholy.

"I have seen many soldiers die, good soldiers, good men. You would not be the first, nor would you be the last. Do you really want to be swept away in this endless circle of violence and misery, when you can just fade away into the greenery never to be seen again?"

[Seto Arai]

"Then who will do the fighting?" Seto asked as he got up. "Good soldiers fight to protect others. People fight for humanity to prove their worth and to allow others to see tomorrow."

He still had his eyes trained on the rider and asked. "Since when did you lose your sense of duty? Kamen Riders never give up, don't they?"
