## Biography

Two dance groups called Beat Riders fought each other through a game where they use devices, called Lockseeds, to summon creatures called Inves. When one of the groups lost, the leader of a dance group, Yuya, was shown by a dealer a device called a Sengoku Driver.
Yuya calls one of his teammates, Mai, and his former teammate, Kouta, to show them the Driver but when the two arrive at the area where they’re suppose to meet him at, they instead find a portal leading into the Inves world.
As they look for Yuya through the portal, Kouta finds strange-looking fruit on the world’s trees. As Kouta is about to eat the fruit, him and Mai are suddenly encountered by a strange creature, called Byakko Inves.
Kouta and Mai manage to outrun Byakko Inves and in the process found the Sengoku Driver Yuya had. Curious of what it is, Kouta places it on his waist and it transforms the strange fruit in his hands into Lockseeds. Just then, Byakko Inves finds them and the two escape the Inves world through the portal.
However, Byakko Inves chases after them through the portal. Seeing how dangerous the Inves is, Kouta gets Mai to run off and get help while he distracts it. He gets Byakko Inves to chase after him until he runs into a dead end.
Kouta tries to fight back but ends up getting beaten down by the Inves.
Needing to fight back, Kouta finds that he can place one of the Lockseeds in the Sengoku Driver. Once placing the Orange Lockseed in, he ends up transforming into an Armored Rider.
Kouta tries to fend himself against Byakko Inves as it approaches him. While struggling against the Inves, Kouta tries fighting back with the weapons the Lockseed gave him. Through trial and error, he discovers what he can do with his weapons, Daidaimaru and Musou Saber, and connects them together to fight but he still gets beaten down.
Just then, Kouta encounters a mysterious woman in white who tells him that he’s about to enter a fight. When Byakko Inves confronts him, the woman directs him about how to use his Lockseed.
Placing the Orange Lockseed in the Musou Saber, Kouta shields himself from Byakko Inves’ beams and sends two energy slashes at it, trapping the Inves in an orange-shaped fireball. Kouta then charges at the trapped Byakko Inves and slices it in half with the Daidaimaru, causing the Inves to blow up.
