I really do not like how this fic came out so I'm going to rewrite it from chapter 1. I do not own Super Sentai, but unfortunately I own the concept of Kodenranger and the horrid character that is named Ryunosuke Rekka. Hopefully I can fix his character with this rewrite.
Elemental Sentai Kodenranger
Chapter 1: Blaze Out! Beginning of a Legend
A man, his face hidden in a shadow, handed a baby into the arms of an old man. "Take care of him, Ojii-chan (grandpa)." The man said to the old man.
"Wait, don't do this!" The old man shouted.
The younger man smirked and gave the old man a thumbs up. "Hey, don't worry. Everything will turn out ok in the end." The younger man went up to the baby. The baby looked at the man and stuck out its arms to reach for the man, hoping for the man to take hold. The baby cooed as it reached for the man. The man stroked the baby's face. "Daddy's going to go now, be a good kid now ok?" The man tried to sound cheerful, but a tear streamed down the man's cheek. "I'm sorry." The man choked. The man stood up and walked away, leaving his child alone.
The man's shadow covered the old man and baby. Wing shapes spread out from the silhouette and the silhouette disappeared. The baby looked up and cried as he tried to reach for his father.
"Good bye . . . Ryunosuke." A white light engulfs the scene . . .
-16 years later-
A young boy of about sixteen was sleeping while class was in session. The whole entire classroom comprised of students wearing a red blazer and white pants or skirt depending on the gender of the person. The boys had a red tie while the girls had a red bow tie. The blazers all had some sort of emblem on the chest area. The emblem appeared to be a Y with green, blue, yellow, and pink surrounding it. The young boy had hair that resembled a small flame and he was quite short compared to every other guy in the class room.
"And so you carry over X . . ." The teacher was saying. The teacher was a forty year old man who wore a brown coat over a black suit. His hair was messy and his glasses hid his eyes as there was a glare on the lens. The teacher paused what he was writing on the board, then gripped his marker. "Ryunosuke . . . REKKA!" The teacher flung the marker at the young boy, whose name is Ryunosuke Rekka.
The marker, which was red, hit Ryunosuke's forehead, leaving a red mark on Ryunosuke's head. "EEK!" Ryunosuke sprung up. "I'm up, I'm up!"
"Good, now do this problem." The teacher slammed the board he was writing on.
Ryunosuke stared at the board, not knowing what had been going on the past few minutes. "Um . . . sorry . . . I don't know." Ryunosuke said sadly. The teacher sighed and Ryunosuke whimpered.
"What am I going to do with you?" The teacher said.
"I'm sorry Takeshi-sensei!" Ryunosuke held his hands together. "I won't sleep in class any more!"
"No begging." Takeshi, the teacher, said. "You're staying after class for your punishment."
Ryunosuke let out a cry. The other classmates stayed silent, as they knew what kind of punishments Takeshi hands out, and it's not just simply detention that Takeshi does.
After class, when the other students were gone, Ryunosuke and Takeshi were left together in the room.
"Now I bet you know what you're in here for." Takeshi said to Ryunosuke.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ryunosuke kept whimpering. He let out short whines with his eyes closed. In an instant, a cold can of soda was placed on his cheek. "YIPE!" Ryunosuke opened his eyes and looked at the can, which Takeshi was holding next to Ryunosuke's face.
"Take it." Takeshi said gently. Takeshi dropped the can and Ryunosuke caught the can. Takeshi sat back down and took up another can from a mini refrigerator next to his desk. Takeshi popped his can open. Ryunosuke looked at his can, then did the same as Takeshi.
"T-t-thank you." Ryunosuke nervously said as he had expected Takeshi to dish out some sort of punishment.
"You can relax, I'm going to let you go today." Takeshi said to Ryunosuke. Takeshi then reached into his coat pocket and took out a neatly wrapped gift. Takeshi threw the gift to Ryunosuke, who caught the gift. "Happy Birthday, Ryunosuke."
Ryunosuke blushed. "Thank you, you remembered." Ryunosuke said.
"Why wouldn't I?" Takeshi asked. "You are like a son to me after all."
"I'm sorry." Ryunosuke said softly.
"Huh why?" Takeshi asked, while taking a sip of his soda.
"I bet you're really ashamed to have a person like me be like a son to you." Ryunosuke said.
"Not at all." Takeshi said. "You remind me a lot of your father."
Ryunosuke's ears perked up. "Really?" Ryunosuke asked.
"Granted, he was more of an idiot than you are . . . and a little more dynamic in personality," Ryunosuke took that as a blow to his heart, "but he did act like you once upon a time and it's nice to see my late friend in your eyes."
"Um . . . thank you?" Ryunosuke wondered if what was said was a compliment or not.
"Anyways, you're sixteen now, you should be a little more exciting!" Takeshi pumped his fist.
"But . . . I really don't know how to be exciting."
"Me neither, that's why I was the top at class and your father at the bottom." Takeshi said bluntly. "But I don't know, chase some skirts, peek, anything."
"But I'll get my ass kicked badly by the girls!" Ryunosuke shouted.
"Hey, just suggesting." Takeshi shrugged. "But happy birthday." Takeshi held out his can of soda. "Cheers."
Ryunosuke looked at the can, then hit his can against Takeshi's can gently. "Thanks for everything." Ryunosuke said and picked up his school bag. "I promise I'll be good tomorrow."
"I doubt that." Takeshi whispered to himself. Ryunosuke didn't hear Takeshi and headed for the door. Takeshi looked at Ryunosuke's school bag. There was a red round gem dangling on the zipper. "Hey, I see you still keep that gem around."
Ryunosuke looked at the gem. "Oh yeah, I do."
"Don't lose that ok, that's one of the last things your parents left for you."
"Yeah, I know." Ryunosuke said. Ryunosuke headed for the door and opened the gift that Takeshi gave him. It was a figurine of a TV show character that Ryunosuke really liked. Ryunosuke smiled and turned back to Takeshi. "Thank you Take-papa!" Ryunosuke exclaimed.
Takeshi blushed upon being called papa by Ryunosuke. "Yeah, sure, you're welcome." Takeshi rubbed his nose and after Ryunosuke left, Takeshi chuckled.
A figure in a black battle robe walked along the dark field. He had on a golden mask which had red lines which appeared to be where the person would look through when worn. He looked up at the dark sky, thunder roared. "It . . . is about to begin." The boy said ominously. He then broke in to a run.
After Ryunosuke placed the figurine in to his school bag. A girl, wearing her hair in a ponytail which was tied with a pink ribbon, rush up to Ryunosuke and grabbed Ryunosuke's arm. "Yahoo, Ryu!" The girl said cheerfully.
Ryu blushed upon having the girl grab his arm. "Ryn, hey." Ryu said nervously.
"Happy Birthday!" Ryn, the girl, exclaimed.
Ryu blinked his eyes in surprise. "You . . . remembered?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I?" Ryn asked.
"Um . . . because I'm the sorriest loser in the whole wide world?" Ryu explained, putting himself down at the moment.
Ryn palmed Ryu's forehead. "Idiot." Ryn said. "I'm your best friend and I love you, why would I think you're a loser?"
"Well . . . I bet you're ashamed to have me as your friend." Ryu muttered. "Any one would after all."
Ryn palmed Ryu again. "Idiot." Then Ryn smiled. "You're the nicest person I know, there's no way I can hate you."
"Thank you." Ryu said.
"Anyway, want to hang out today, oh Birthday Boy-san?" Ryn asked with a smile.
Ryu's ears perked up. "Hang out?" Ryu asked. "Just us two?"
"Yep, a date." Ryn nodded, knowing what Ryu was about to say.
Ryu's face became completely red. "Yes!" Ryu exclaimed. "Yes, I'll be with you today!"
"Ok then, let's go right now." Ryn said.
Ryu was happy with what was going on. I'm going on a date with Ryn . . . this is so great.
Takeshi drank his soda and looked out the window. "To think that this day would come by so fast." Takeshi said. "I just hope Ryunosuke is ready for what is about to come." Takeshi laid his head on his desk. "What am I going to do? I can only help him out so much."
Ryu and Ryn went in to a burger joint. "Sorry, this is the best I could come up with today." Ryn said.
"Shouldn't it be me who should plan these things out?" Ryu asked.
"Well, the next time we're on a date it'll be your turn." Ryn said with a smile.
Ryu blushed. "Yeah sure."
The two ordered their meals and shared a shake. Upon the two of them drinking the shake at the same time, the two of them blushed.
Ryn finished her burger first. "So do you have plans for tonight?"
"Not really." Ryu said before taking another bite of his burger. "I mean, I was planning on celebrating by myself again this year, but I guess I don't really have to do so today since I'm with you right now."
"Celebrating . . . by yourself?" Ryn asked.
Ryu looked down with a sad look. "Almost every year when it came to be my birthday, Ojii-chan (grandpa) would put me through some weird exercise sessions." Ryu explained. "It was all so weird, I don't even know why he made me go through all those sessions. When we were finished for the day, he always had something to do during the night. I don't even know why he always had to go out at night during my birthday." Ryu stopped and his lip started quivering. A tear seemed to roll down from his eye.
Ryn noticed. "Ah, don't cry please." Ryn said.
Ryu rubbed the tear off. "I'm not crying." Ryu sobbed. Ryu took a deep breath and he stopped sobbing. "But some times, Takeshi-sensei and Takumi-san would come over to celebrate with me, and occasionally Ojii-chan would be home before I blow out the candles from the cake." Ryu chuckled. "Those were the best."
"Sounds great." Ryn said. "You really have a lot of people who care for you."
"It's because Ojii-chan is my Ojii-chan by law and every one else were friends with my parents." Ryu said. Upon mentioning parents, he paused. He looked down again with his sad look.
"Ryu?"
"Sorry." Ryu said. "I was just thinking about how I never had a mother or father in my life."
"Geez, idiot." Ryn said. "You have many people who care a lot about you. Don't act as if they're not there for you."
"Yeah you're right." Ryu said. "After all Takeshi-sensei and Takumi-san have been like fathers to me and it's not as if Ojii-chan is a bad grandfather." Ryu said. "Especially since during those times that he does leave me during my birthday and is gone for many days, he always comes home with an awesome gift in hand."
"See, you have all those people in your life, so stop sulking." Ryn said with a smile. "Besides, you have me as well. Sometimes I feel as if you're like a brother to me."
Ryu's mind just cracked upon hearing Ryn say that. "Are . . . are you serious?" Ryu asked. "You only see me as a brother?"
"Huh, oh no! That was just what I felt when we were little kids. Now I want to be your wife you know." Ryn said without hesitation. "Besides, didn't you say that if you had a sister you would've had a sister complex . . . a really big sister complex?"
"I . . . hm, maybe." Ryu said. "I don't really remember saying that but it sounds familiar." Ryu then chuckled. "I really wonder why I would say something like that in the first place."
Ryn joined in on Ryu's laughter, but then Ryu felt a heavy pressure around him. What the! Ryu thought. Ryu stopped and looked around. The masked boy in black was sitting on a table far away, but Ryu noticed the masked boy.
"Is something wrong?" Ryn asked Ryu.
Ryu turned around and the heavy pressure was gone. "No, everything's all right." Ryu turned around again and the masked boy was gone. Why . . . why did I get a strange feeling just then? He thought.
Takeshi looked out the window and opened the window. "Well, it's about time." Takeshi said. Takeshi closed his eyes and jumped out the window. "The battle between legend and darkness will begin anew today." Takeshi declared.
Ryu and Ryn prepared to walk home. "Well today was pretty fun." Ryn said. "I don't get many chances to be with you alone." Ryu had a worried look on his face. "You sure there's nothing wrong?"
"Uh yeah, nothing's wrong."
"Then why so gloomy mopey face?" Ryn asked.
"Well I don't know why but all of a sudden I feel like something bad's going to happen." Ryu said, but then thought that was a stupid response. "Forgive me, I'm not sure why I feel like that."
Ryn looked at Ryu's face, then kissed Ryu's lips.
"Ryn!" Ryu was really surprised after Ryn had pulled back.
"Cheer up." Ryn said. "You really shouldn't look so down all the time."
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Ryu said. Then he blushed. "Um you know . . . about that kiss."
"Yes?"
"How about um . . . again?"
Ryn giggled. "Oh you silly boy, my kisses are reserved for some one special." Then she wrapped her arms around Ryu, "but if you want to kiss again, I'd be more than happy to oblige."
Ryu blushed, but then Ryu felt another presence behind him, the presence of the masked boy. "Be careful." Ryu heard a voice that had an uncanny resemblance to his from the masked boy.
Ryu pushed Ryn away. "What is it!" Ryn asked.
Ryu turned around, but found no one behind him. What the hell is going on? Ryu thought. Why do I feel like something is going to go wrong right at any moment!
The masked boy ran towards Ryu in a blur. The masked boy passed Ryu, but at the same time whispered, "It's coming." The masked boy disappeared yet again.
"What the hell?" Ryu said, then Ryn screamed. Ryu turned around, and found a shocking scene.
Ryn was being carried away by a humanoid Hawk monster in the air. The Hawk monster was brown and white in color and had a hawk head on its chest as well as an actual Hawk head for a head. The civilians around screamed upon seeing the Hawk monster. The Hawk Monster spread out its wings and feathers shot out towards Ryu.
Ryu let out a scream and ran away from the feathers. The feathers struck the ground hard enough to create cracks where the feathers had impacted the ground. Ryu tripped and a feather barely missed, but the feather again cracked the ground. Ryu was scared.
"Hand over that Red Gem!" The monster yelled and pointed at the Gem on Ryu's bag.
"This?" Ryu said pointing at the Red Gem.
"Hand over the gem or the girl dies!" The Hawk Monster shouted and in an instant, a sword with sharp feathers as a blade emerged from thin space into the monster's hand. The monster held the sword at Ryn's throat.
"RYN!" Ryu shouted and Ryn let out a whimper.
"Hand it over!" The Hawk Monster shouted.
Ryu gasped, but then took the Gem out of its casing that he used as the key chain and the holder for the Gem. Ryu walked towards the Hawk Monster and the Hawk Monster slowly descended. Ryu was about to hand over the Gem, but then Ryu remembered what Takeshi had just spoken to him about.
"Don't lose that, ok? It's one of the last things that your parent's left for you."
Ryu let out a groan. "Come on!" The Hawk Monster demanded.
The masked boy then ran by Ryu again, "Don't you dare hand that over!" The masked boy was gone again afterwards.
Ryu whimpered, then looked at the monster with determination. "I can't give this to you!" Ryu shouted. "I don't know why you want this, but my parents' left this for me!" In a rush of adrenaline, Ryu completely forgot about Ryn, and Ryn was surprised to see Ryu with such a determined face. Ryu had never once in his life looked so determined.
"Then the girl dies, say farewell to the one you love!" The Hawk Monster shouted ready to slice Ryn's throat.
Ryu then remembered about Ryn. "NO!" Ryu screamed. The Gem dropped from Ryu's hands as Ryu ran towards the monster, but then the Red Gem started flying and flew at lightning speed to bash the Monster's sword away.
"WHAT!" The monster shouted. The Gem then started attacking the monster. The Gem struck the monster's arm, causing the monster to release Ryn.
Ryn ran towards Ryu with a surprised look. "You . . . I was actually surprised." Ryn said. "I never thought you show some guts."
"Aren't you surprised by the wrong thing?" Ryu said pointing at the Gem, while he himself continued to gawk at the Gem.
Ryn looked at the Gem. "Yeah, you're right. That's not really something you see every day." Then the masked boy appeared behind Ryn and grabbed a pressure point on Ryn's shoulder. Ryn fell unconscious into Ryu's arms.
Ryu looked at the masked boy. "What the heck are you doing!" Ryu shouted.
"Ryunosuke, prepare for what is to come." The masked boy said to Ryu. "It's better to leave that girl out of it."
"Wait . . . why do you know my name?" Ryu asked, only to get no answer from the masked boy.
"RYUNOSUKE!" Takeshi's voice resounded from afar. Ryu turned around to see Takeshi running towards him. Takeshi stopped when he got to Ryu. "Hey, what's Ryn doing in your arms?"
"Nothing." Ryu said. "There's really no reason why she's in my arms."
"Hm, knocked out pretty badly." Takeshi said looking at Ryn. Then Takeshi perked his ears up. "You're not thinking of raping her are you?"
"Wait . . . WHAT!" Ryu shouted. "I'm not that type of person!"
"Yeah, yeah." Takeshi said shooing Ryu. "Anyway you should be careful today, something's going to happen and you better be prepared."
"You're not talking about being attacked by a monster by any chance are you?" Ryu asked.
"Yeah, why?" Takeshi asked Ryu. Ryu pointed at the Hawk monster, which was having a battle with the Red Gem. The small Gem was winning as the monster couldn't land a hand on the flying Gem.
"Oh . . . so it's already begun." Takeshi said holding his chin and nodding. "Come with me." Takeshi grabbed Ryu's arm and dragged Ryu away while Ryu held on to Ryn.
"WHOA!" Takeshi dragged Ryu really fast. It was a wonder why Ryn didn't wake up.
Takeshi took Ryu behind an alley. "Ok Ryu, I think you're really confused about what's going on right now."
"Hell yeah you're right!" Ryu shouted. "Just what in the world is that monster!"
"A Kagejyu." Takeshi replied. "It is a monster of darkness, one who looks towards despair for power."
"Ok, and what does that have to do with me?"
Takeshi held on to Ryu's shoulder. "Let me tell you a secret." Takeshi said. "I am not a normal person, I am what you would call, a Koden Fighter."
"Huh?"
"Your father . . . is what you might call a Red Ranger if you may, and I was one on his team."
Ryu took a while for the info to sink in. "WHAT!" Ryu shouted. "What the heck!"
"Yes . . . I knew you would be surprised."
"Dad . . . dad's a red ranger? Wait, how do I know you're telling the truth?"
"You don't have to believe me if you don't want." Takeshi said. Takeshi reached in to his jacket and took out glove like devices with a red brace on the left glove. "But know this, you are the one who shall become, Kodenred."
Ryu looked at Takeshi weirdly. "What?" Ryu asked. "Can you run that by me again?"
"No time." Takeshi said. He grabbed a pipe that was laying on the ground and at the same time his shadow started moving. The moving shadow then emerged in a blob and a faceless monster appeared from that blob. The monster had a black featureless head. It wore a white Chinese battle outfit and a red scarf. The monster had a black body where the clothes didn't cover. The monster itself had a silver sword in hand, ready to cut up Ryu. Takeshi reacted and parried the sword with the pipe that he had picked up. Takeshi pushed the sword away then got up and kicked the monster away.
Ryu was in utter shock. "W-w-what was that!"
"A Kageshi." Takeshi explained. "Minions of darkness." More shadows started moving around Ryu and Takeshi. "Here come more." More Kageshis emerged from the shadows. Ryu whimpered and looked around in shock. Takeshi on the other hand was chanting. "Oh violent waves, come forth and wash away my enemies, strike swiftly and violently. Come forth, VIOLENT SURGE!" Takeshi punched the ground and a ring of water appeared around the humans. Then the water ring enlarged into a gigantic wave that flooded away from where the humans were encased in. The Kageshis were washed away.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST DO!" Ryu shouted.
"That . . . is the legendary power that we hold." Takeshi said. "You as the chosen bearer of the Red Koden Gem, have even more power. With that power, you must fight."
"But . . . I'll be killed!"
"Not if you put these on." Takeshi said holding the glove devices up. Takeshi went up to Ryu and grabbed Ryu's hand. Takeshi forcibly placed the right device on and the device in an instant actually became a glove around Ryu's hands.
"Whoa." Ryu looked at his right hand and started opening and closing his fist and checking his hand. Takeshi meanwhile placed the final device on, forming a pair. "So um . . . how does this work?"
"You'll have to go back for the Gem." Takeshi replied. "It won't work without it." Takeshi looked at Ryn who was on the ground. Takeshi punched the ground and a ice casing surrounded Ryn's body. "This will protect her for the time being if anything happens."
Ryu looked at the ice barrier that surrounded Ryn. "Takeshi-sensei . . . how can you do all that with the flooding and the ice."
"Like I said, it's my powers."
"I know that, but why do you have these powers?" Ryu asked.
"It's hard to explain." Takeshi said pushing up his glasses. "Let's go, we'll have to defeat that Hawk monster now or it'll cause havoc." Takeshi ran back towards where the monster was. Ryu looked towards the ice barrier once more before following Takeshi.
Back at where the Kagejyu was, the monster was slashing at the flying Gem while Kageshis around were also trying to catch the Gem. Takeshi and Ryu appeared at the scene and the Red Gem flew back towards Ryu. The Gem flew in to Ryu's unsuspecting hand.
The Kageshis ran towards Ryu. "HII!" Ryu squeaked. Takeshi however stood in front of Ryu.
"Hurry up and put the Gem in to that round slot!" Takeshi shouted at Ryu. Ryu wondered what Takeshi was taking about. Takeshi took out a navy card reader like device. Takeshi blocked a sword swipe from a sword wielding Kageshi with the card reader device. Takeshi then reached in to his coat pocket and took out navy colored card which he flipped around in his fingers. Takeshi bashed the Kageshi away with his fist then flicked his card reader which opened up the card reader in four sections, creating an intricate looking device. A Kageshi holding a decorated spear jumped in the air ready to stab Takeshi. Some Kageshi also appeared behind Ryu, ready to attack Ryu. Ryu squeaked and held on to Takeshi's back.
"Release . . ." Takeshi's voice appeared to echo, despite Takeshi saying it softly. "Fang of the Savage," Takeshi said calmly as the Kageshi in front of him was nearing. "GENERAL HENSHIN!" Takeshi shouted and swiped the card over a thin slot on his card reader. The swiping sound was loud, an echo resounded throughout the area, and the sound of calm waters emitted from the card reader.
Everything happened in an instant. The Kageshi was near Takeshi, but then a blue barrier emerged and the Kageshi crashed in to the barrier. The Kageshis behind Ryu were also caught in the barrier. Then the Kageshis were blown away. Water started to swirl around Takeshi. Ryu noticed the water and jumped back when the water started to surround Takeshi. Ryu watched in awe as the water wrapped around Takeshi, then scattered to create a violet suit with a navy chest plate. There were navy armbands and leg guards on the suit. There also seemed to be a robe like cloth protruding from the back which was navy and violet in color. A golden belt appeared around Takeshi's waist. The belt buckle looked like a shark. Takeshi's glasses disappeared and water swirled around his head. The water surrounded his head completely. A black visor appeared where Takeshi's eyes should've been. Then the rest of the water scattered revealing a violet helmet with a shark theme. There was a small navy fin emerging from the helmet and a navy border around the silver mouth plate.
The Hawk Kagejyu looked at the violet warrior in surprise. "It's you." The Hawk Monster said.
"Takeshi-sensei?" Ryu muttered under his breath.
The Kageshis all stepped backwards. The violet warrior held his hands closed together like a fang. "Raging Waters hide the fangs of death. The Inescapable Fangs, Kodengeneral!" Water appeared behind Kodengeneral and to the side of the belt of Kodengeneral. The water scattered. A 9-ring Broadsword and a Chinese Halbard appeared behind Kodengeneral's back in an X formation. Each had a colored flame at the end resembling a flag at the end, Green and Orange respectively. To the side of Kodengeneral's belt were hook swords each with a red cloth at the edge.
The Kageshis looked at each other, then they charged at Kodengeneral. The ones behind Ryu were aiming for Ryu instead.
Takeshi made his move. Takeshi punched the ground. "Spiking Fang!" Takeshi announced. Ice spikes appeared all over the road, spiking the Kageshis around. The Kageshis behind Ryu got struck in to the air by the ice spikes. Takeshi stood back up and looked at Ryu.
"You . . . you're a Senshi?" Ryu said in surprise.
"Moreorless." Takeshi said. "But my powers can only go so far, you must use that changer in your hands, use the Kodenchangers to transform and take your future into your hands!"
Ryu looked at the Gem that was in his hands and looked at the gloves which were called the Kodenchangers. Ryu then looked at Kodengeneral and the hordes of Kageshi that were running at Kodengeneral. Ryu whimpered and closed his eyes. A tear fell from one eye. "I . . . can't."
Takeshi sighed. Takeshi drew his hook swords and sliced a Kageshi in half, resulting in that Kageshi to disappear in black blobs. "If you're afraid, then I don't need you here anymore." Takeshi struck down another Kageshi. "You'll only get in the way if you stay here." Takeshi ran at the Kageshis and started to fight them all by himself.
Ryu watched Takeshi fight, then ran away. "I'm sorry . . . Takeshi-sensei." Ryu ran as fast as he could away from the battle.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" The Hawk Kagejyu shouted. The Hawk Kagejyu was about to fly but Kodengeneral was in the air swinging the Giant 9-ring broadsword that was on his back. The Kagejyu parried the giant broadsword with the feather sword, however the giant sword was heavy enough that the Hawk Kagejyu was pushed back towards the ground.
The Kageshis that were on the ground ran towards Takeshi. Takeshi looked at the grunts, then quickly drew one of his hook swords and quickly hooked the sword to one of the rings on the 9-ring broadsword. Takeshi swung his broadsword around, which swung the hook sword around, slashing the Kageshis with the sharp end of the hilt.
The Hawk Kagejyu sprung back up and flew towards Takeshi. Takeshi slashed at the Kagejyu with the heavy broadsword. The Hawk Kagejyu parried yet again, this time ready and exerting enough force to not be pushed back by the powerful sword.
"So you're back." The Hawk Kagejyu said to Takeshi. "How long has it been since you last appeared, sixteen years ago."
"Moreorless." Takeshi said. A Kageshi ran towards the two combatants. Takeshi grabbed the handle of his broadsword tightly, then twisted his hands which let go of the broadsword. The sword started to spin in the air which also spun the hook sword hooked to one of the rings of the 9-ring broadsword. The Hawk Kagejyu jumped back. The hilt of the hook sword sliced the Kageshi. Takeshi grabbed the broadsword and swung the sword at the Kagejyu. The Kagejyu ducked and rolled away resulting in Takeshi slashing a row of Kageshis. The Kagejyu got back up and threw feather darts at Takeshi.
Takeshi rolled away and the feather darts struck down some Kageshi. Takeshi re-sheathed his hook sword at his side. Takeshi held his broadsword towards the ground. "ABSOLUTION!" Takeshi shouted and pierced the ground with the broadsword.
Giant ice blades appeared from the ground in attempts to strike down the Hawk Kagejyu. The Hawk Kagejyu flew in the air, avoiding the ice blades. The Kageshis weren't so lucky. The Hawk Kagejyu dove down towards Takeshi.
Takeshi, still with the giant broadsword in the ground, drew one of his hook swords and parried a stab from the Kagejyu. "I see, sixteen years and you're not bad." The Hawk Kagejyu said. "Of course, how long has it been since you've fought so intensely . . . oh maybe twenty four years ago? When you were led by that boy." The Hawk Kagejyu said with scorn.
"Don't talk badly of the past." Takeshi said calmly.
"Oh I hope he's rotting in hell right now." The Hawk Kagejyu said. Takeshi however, paused upon hearing that. "Kodenfire, the one man who died fighting . . ."
"SHUT UP!" Takeshi shouted in a fit of rage. "Don't you dare talk about my friend like that!" Takeshi kicked the Kagejyu away. Takeshi re-sheathed his hook sword and took the broadsword off the ground. Takeshi lugged the sword and swung at the Hawk Kagejyu.
Ryu stopped running after he ran for a bit. He panted heavily, sweating nervously. Beads of sweat trickled down his cheek, mixing in with his tears. "I . . . don't even know what the hell is going on." Ryu sobbed. He fell to his knees. "What is going on, I . . . I . . ." Tears dropped down to the pavement. "I'm scared. A monster just appears out of nowhere and Takeshi transforms in to some colored senshi. I'm just a normal boy, these things shouldn't be happening!"
"You as the chosen bearer of the Red Koden Gem . . . you must fight." Takeshi's voice echoed in Ryu's mind.
"But I'm scared." Ryu whimpered. Ryu remembered how it looked, Kodengeneral, fighting against the horde of monsters. A Kageshi getting sliced in half, monsters getting skewered by ice spikes. Ryu was scared of fighting. How was he supposed to be able to fight a bunch of monsters? If anything, is he supposed to transform into a warrior with the gloves in his hands?
"Transform and take your future into your hands!"
Ryu gasped and the tears stopped flowing from his eyes. He stood up. If anything, even if he was scared, he should at least watch Takeshi from the sidelines to the end. After all, Takeshi was fighting all of the monsters for Ryu's sake. Ryu ran back towards where the battle was.
Takeshi slashed at the Hawk Kagejyu. The Hawk Kagejyu parried and jumped backwards. Takeshi was looking really tired. "What's wrong, old age getting to you old man?" The Hawk Kagejyu mocked.
"HEY!" Takeshi shouted. "I'm only Forty!" Takeshi lugged his giant sword again, ready to hit the Hawk Kagejyu, only for the Hawk Kagejyu to appear behind Takeshi.
"Too slow." The Hawk Kagejyu said softly. The Hawk Kagejyu then stabbed Takeshi from the back. Takeshi let out a loud scream.
Ryu got to the scene . . . just in time to see the Hawk Kagejyu stab Takeshi. The feather sword went right through the Kodengeneral suit and through Takeshi's stomach. Ryu had a despairing look on his face.
The Kodengeneral suit dematerialized and Takeshi fell on his knees, then fell towards the ground. Blood was flowing out of his pierced gut.
Ryu was panting heavily in despair, panting louder and louder. Then Ryu screamed, "TAKE-PAPA!"
The Hawk Kagejyu perked its ears up and looked at Ryu. "Your screams of despair . . . it makes me stronger, but too bad. All I want is that gem of yours!" The Hawk Kagejyu flew towards Ryu.
Ryu gritted his teeth. "You . . . you bastard!" Ryu screamed, but it didn't seem like Ryu was himself anymore. Ryu's eyes were now red. It was as if he was possessed. The Hawk Kagejyu neared Ryu. Ryu however punched the Kagejyu with a left fist. "I'll kill you." Ryu growled.
Inside Ryu's head though, Ryu was somewhere else. "Where am I?" Ryu said in his head. Ryu looked forward and saw a figure in the distance. "Hey what is this?" Suddenly the figure turned to face Ryu. The figure's face was hidden in a shadow but one could make out that its hair was exactly like Ryu's and that the figure had bright red eyes, much like the ones that the physical Ryu is sporting at the moment. The man wore a white and red battle robe. The figure stared at Ryu intensely. Ryu shook nervously.
"You . . . do you want power?"
"Huh?" Ryu wondered what the man meant.
"If power is what you want, then power is what you'll get."
Ryu in the real world took the Red Koden Gem in to hand. He pushed the Gem into the round slot on the brace. The gloves glowed after the gem was pushed in. "Release." Ryu growled. "Legend of the Beast." Instinct took over Ryu. "Koden . . . HENSHIN!" Ryu tapped his left glove with his right hand then quickly did the same vice versa. Ryu's left fist which he had still planted on the Kagejyu, punched the Kagejyu again, this time releasing a burst of red flames.
Flames swallowed Ryu up. A mechanical red dragon flew around Ryu within the flames. Then Ryu gained a new suit. A red suit with flame designs all over. He had red boots and red gloves under the changer now. He had a black emblem depicting five elements, fire, wind, lightning, water, and earth on his chest. He had a black shin guard. There was a golden belt with a red belt buckle that resembled a dragon's head. At the side of the belt were two holsters each holding a red short rod like weapon with a golden center line going between the rods themselves.
The mechanical dragon's head then bit down onto Ryu's head, creating the dragon theme helmet for Ryu. It had a black visor, with gold coloring to top of the visor representing a dragon's head. The visor was flame shaped, going down. On top of his shoulders were spikes protruding out. When one looks at the spike, they would notice that it resembles dragon horns. The flames scattered from Ryu, and in place was a red suited warrior.
The Hawk Kagejyu, who flew into a wall after the burst of energy from the Kodenchangers launched it backwards, got back up, only to see the red warrior in place of Ryu. "Damn it!" The Hawk Kagejyu shouted. "This wasn't supposed to happen, you were never supposed to transform!" The Hawk Kagejyu flew into the air. "Sorry, but I'll take my leave now." The Kagejyu prepared to fly away.
The Red warrior's head tilted up. "Burst." Ryu said softly, however his back flared up violently and ten fiery wings emerged from his back. Ryu jumped in the air really high and a small burst of energy from the wings launched Ryu towards the Hawk Kagejyu.
The Hawk Kagejyu turned to see Ryu. "WHAT THE HELL!" The Kagejyu screamed, only to get tornado kicked in the air by Ryu. The Kagejyu skid across the ground after the kick. The Kagejyu skidded across the ground so hard, its wings got broken during the fall so it couldn't fly anymore.
Ryu landed back on the ground. "Time to die." Ryu said. He walked forward towards the Hawk Kagejyu.
"You . . . DAMN YOU!" The Kagejyu shouted and grabbed its feather sword and charged at Ryu.
Ryu pushed the top left button on the brace on his left glove Kodenchanger. Two red Jians emerged from the brace and Ryu grabbed hold of both swords. Ryu parried a slash from the Kagejyu with the left sword.
The red warrior looked at the Hawk Kagejyu intensely. "Do you really think you can beat me?" Ryu said coldly, or rather, it was Ryu's voice but it appeared to be a completely different person speaking. The Hawk Kagejyu could see Ryu's glowing red eyes under the black visor and the Hawk Kagejyu was in fear. "ORYAH!" Ryu slashed the Kagejyu with his right sword. The Kagejyu screamed in pain, then Ryu continued to unleash a flurry of slashes from both of his swords. "This is the end." Ryu said then turned around and bent down so he could kick the Kagejyu into the air.
The Kagejyu gagged after the kick and was floating upwards. Ryu flew up again. Ryu held his two swords at ready. The swords started to blaze out. "Hyper . . ." Ryu said. "Blazing . . . SLASH!" Ryu flew downwards and slashed the Hawk Kagejyu in two. Ryu landed and his wings blazed on till they disappeared. After the wings disappeared, the Hawk Kagejyu exploded in a glorious blaze.
The red suit dematerialized. Ryu was crying both in shock and sadness. He was shock as he started to act differently during that battle and he was crying in sadness as he was sure Takeshi was dead.
Then a hand grabbed on to Ryu's shoulder. Ryu turned to see Takeshi without his glasses on. Takeshi let out a groan but gave Ryu a thumbs up. "Good job." Takeshi said softly.
"TAKE-PAPA!" Ryu exclaimed. Ryu grabbed on to Takeshi. Ryu started bawling. "I thought . . . I thought . . . I thought that monster had killed you."
"Hey, I can't die just yet." Takeshi said. "I still got you to take care of don't I?"
"But that wound!" Ryu shouted. Ryu then looked at where Takeshi had been stabbed. Sure enough Takeshi's suit has a hole on it but the wound was closed.
"I dabble in the healing arts a little." Takeshi said. "Getting a stab like that is nothing to me. " Takeshi then smiled. "But what's important is that you have become one with the Koden Gem." Then Takeshi looked sad. "Though, now you'll have to fight . . ." He said softly.
"Did you say something?" Ryu asked.
"Eh nothing." Takeshi shook his head. "Well . . . it's getting late." Takeshi then started to run towards the direction where they had left Ryn. "I'll take Ryn-chan back home, stay out of trouble ok!"
"Oi Take-papa!" Ryu said but then stopped. He was hoping to ask if Takeshi would spend his (Ryu) birthday together, but Takeshi was already gone. Ryu sighed. "Looks like I'm alone again this year too."
Ryu along the way home (after buying a cake) started thinking about the day's events. "Man this is weird. I became some sort of senshi today and I fought off a Hawk Monster." Ryu looked at the sky. "The future huh? I wonder what the future will bring." Ryu looked at the Red Koden Gem now hanging on his school bag like before, motionless. "Though . . . I'm scared." Ryu sighed. "I guess I'll just have to see what happens. I just hope nothing big happens again." Ryu was at his door and searching through his pocket for his key. "Man, now that I think about it, I wonder what I should call myself when I'm in that form." Ryu opened the door to his house. "Takeshi-sensei called himself Kodengeneral . . . hm." Ryu entered in to his house and closed the door. "Kodenred? Then again that's kind of bland right?" Ryu thought about it. "But it just seems right. Huh, I don't know."
Ryu got in to the kitchen. Ryu closed the shutters in the house and lit a candle, putting it on top of the cake he had bought. Ryu turned off all the lights. Ryu looked at the candle. Ryu started to sing to himself softly. Ryu was about to blow out the candles when all of a sudden . . .
"SURPRISE!" Shouted the voices of four men. Ryu jumped back in surprise. Takeshi was one of these four men. With him was an old man with gray hair and beard and wearing a gray suit. This is Ojii-chan, Ryu's adopted grandfather. Another was a man wearing sunglasses despite the room being dark. He had on a brown trench coat. This is Takumi, one of Takeshi and Ryu's father's friends. The last one was a man wearing a stylish white robe with a tiger theme. This is a man named Shinji. Takumi was holding a large cake with sixteen candles ablaze. "HAPPY SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY RYU!"
Ryu looked at the four men with big eyes of surprise. "You . . ."
"It may be surprising, but we all found some time to visit you." Takumi said scratching his chin and smiling.
"It was Takeshi here who told us to come." Ojii-chan said, patting Takeshi playfully. Takeshi blushed.
"You're really lucky, he really cares for you." Shinji said. "After all, it was him who bought this huge cake for you."
"Ah well you know, I'm never really around during his birthdays but since today you know . . . after all I've only seen him a handful of times during his birthdays I thought well . . ." Takeshi stammered around for the words.
Ryu let out a sniff. "AH!" The men shouted.
"He's crying!" Takumi whimpered.
"ACK! We didn't mean to make you sad!" Ojii-chan shouted.
Ryu chuckled. "You idiots." Ryu said looking up. There was a big smile plastered on his crying face. "Thank you!" And for once in his life, Ryu spent his birthday night with the people who cared for him.
After the festivities were done, Ryu was left alone again, but he was used to taking care of himself in the absence of his Ojii-chan. Ryu was on his computer, when a chat window opened up from a user named 'LovelyAngel04'. Ryu smiled upon getting the message.
"Happy Birthday Ryu-san!" LovelyAngel04 said.
Ryu typed, "Thank you". Ryu's user name was 'DragonSoul11'. "You can just call me Ryu you know."
"Sorry I couldn't say it to you in person, I was sick today so I couldn't come to school." Said LovelyAngel04.
"Oh sorry to hear that, are you ok right now?" DragonSoul11 asked.
"Barely." LovelyAngel04 said. "But I remembered today was your birthday so I had to find some way to say it to you, and luckily you were on tonight!"
"Well thank you, but if you're sick you should be getting some rest." Ryu said.
There was a longer pause between the messages so Ryu figured that LovelyAngel04 was coughing or something at her end. "Yeah, you're right. Sorry though I couldn't spend some time with you today."
"It's the thought that counts, don't worry about it. I'll be with you on your birthday next time."
"It's a promise then." LovelyAngel04 said, with a cute smiley face.
"Yeah." DragonSoul11 replied. After a bit, LovelyAngel04 signed off.
"Well, I guess it's time to call it a day." Ryu said yawning. Ryu was about to sleep, but then another person signed in. Ryu looked at who signed in, and he was quite surprised. Ryu quickly got back on and waited to see if the person who signed in would talk to him. Indeed that person did.
The new user was a named 'ShiningWings70'. "Happy Birthday Ryu." ShiningWings70 said.
Ryu typed at the speed of light. "Thank you, haven't seen you in a while."
"Oh, are you really happy to see me?" ShiningWings70 typed. "How about turning on your web cam so we can see each other?"
"I would, except my web cam's not working." DragonSoul11 replied. "Got to get a new one."
"Wow, what a coincidence, me too." ShiningWings70 said. "How's school going for you?"
"It's fine I guess." DragonSoul11 replied. "Though I wish you're there sometimes."
"I was there last week." ShiningWings70 said.
"Really?"
"I was one of the cheerleaders that came along to cheer on our team when the football team went to compete."
"OH!" DragonSoul11 exclaimed. "Man I was even watching the cheerleaders during that game."
"Oh, I didn't know you were a pervert." ShiningWings70 said.
"Eh . . . it's um . . . it's not what you . . ." DragonSoul11 stammered.
"Well, did you see some one that looked like me?"
"Well I wasn't exactly sure if it was you but since you said you were there then I guess that person was you."
"How did I look?"
"Great I guess."
"Thank you." There was a pause before ShiningWings70 said anything else. "So . . . today's the day."
"Huh?"
"You . . . became Kodenred didn't you?"
Ryu was speechless after receiving that. "How did you know?"
"Ryu . . . there are many things that you don't know about but you'll have to be ready for them. I . . . there's some stuff that I have to tell you."
"Well, you want to meet up and tell me in person."
"Oh, are you asking me out on a date?"
"Eh . . . I'm not sure."
"Well even if it's not a date, I guess I'll meet you when you're free. Tell me when ok?"
"Yeah sure." DragonSoul11 said. "Well I'm off to bed."
"Sometimes I wish I can sleep with you again like in the old days."
"We were kids back then." DragonSoul11 said with a blushing face.
"I know, I just wish we can do it again some time."
Ryu blushed himself. "Well anyway, I'm really tired, hopefully we'll see each other one of these days, bye!"
The masked boy was sitting outside on a tree branch near Ryu's window. The masked boy looked inside and watched as Ryu typed on the computer. Ryu turned off all the lights in the room and went to bed. The masked boy sighed. "Ryunosuke . . . be careful." The masked boy jumped away. "Don't die . . . before me."
Well I hope you guys like this new rewrite. Hopefully it'll get some reviews, after all, a fic as bad as the original Elemental Sentai Kodenrangers ended up getting a good number of reviews. Hopefully I can get this fic to get the same number of reviews as the old one.
Special Segment: Teach us, Ryunosuke-sensei!
"Ok every one, get in to your seats." Ryu said wearing a white coat. "Ok let's take role, Rai Shishi."
"Here."
"Lee Hamura."
"Here."
"Karen Hibiki."
"Here."
"Ryn Tsubasa."
"Here."
"Miku Sorahane."
"Here."
"Kai Orochi."
"Present."
"Ok then, that seems like every one." Ryu said. Rai raised his hand.
"Sensei, why are you the sensei?" Rai asked Ryu.
"Well actually this is the segment that's going to replace the Koden Cosplay of the original horrible Elemental Sentai Kodenranger fic." Ryu said. "This is supposed to explain to the reader what some of the featured gear does but since this is the first chapter, it's best if we used this one to tell the readers what this is about. Read on only if you have read the original Elemental Sentai Kodenranger fic."
"Sensei!" Lee raised his hand. "Why is the fic getting a massive rewrite right from chapter 1?"
"Because the fic was horrible." Ryu replied. "The plot was out of place going chapter by chapter, the characters except for me were completely out of focus. I was completely perfect in everything, I took the spotlight of every chapter, every chapter was focused on me. Stuff like that."
"How about explaining why some characters like you, Takeshi, and Kai are receiving completely different personalities?" Karen asked.
"Well actually I'm not supposed to be different." Ryu said. "You see, I was originally supposed to be some sort of wimp who would become strong in dire situations as you can see from the original chapter 1, but after that I wasn't portrayed as such. Which is why the author is trying his best to display that better. Takeshi-sensei changed because he was just . . . not there in the original fic. He was just . . . a background character that the author tried to make important. Twenty six chapters later and he only gets revealed as Kodengeneral not in the story itself but in some random special segment that the author felt like putting there."
"Ok, how about Kai?" Ryn asked Ryunosuke-sensei.
"What makes you think Kai's in this fic right now?" Ryu asked.
"Is that masked boy not me?" Kai asked. "That masked boy whose been helping you in this chapter by giving you messages?"
"Well I guess it should be obvious that it's you but only if the reader has read the original Kodenranger. Well yes, the author is trying to make the character of Kai better and actually making use of the masked attribute of Kai rather than just simply give Kai a mask for no reason. The author is also going to make use of the fact that Kai looks like me which in the original fic is because Kai was meant to be like some sort of second cousin to me or another. Another thing is that, Kai went from this," Ryu showed a picture of Kai with an insane smile, "to this," then a picture of a calm Kai. "He just randomly went from insane boy to noble demon, which makes no sense. Kyoko also suffered from this." Picture of a sarcastic woman then a picture of a sweet looking woman. "It just randomly happened and Dai-san." Two of the same pictures. "He was barely there in the first place, and the same goes for Kousuke, Kodengold. I took the spotlight too much, which is what this rewrite is supposed to fix."
"So what other changes are there going to be?" Rai asked.
"For one . . .we might get rid of Kodensilver."
"Does that mean I won't be important anymore?" Miku asked.
"No, you'll still be important obviously." Ryu said. "You even appeared in this chapter."
"I did?" Miku asked.
"Don't ask how." Ryu said. "The reader will have to find out on their own. Besides, this story can't go on without Miku."
"So why all these changes?" Lee asked. "Couldn't the author just rewrite some chapters and be done with it?"
"No he can't." Ryu said. "Elemental Sentai Kodenranger, the original fic, has been too badly ruined to be fixed. It would take too many rewrites to fix so might as well just completely rewrite the whole fic."
"A reason why this is happening like I said is because the fic completely focused on me. I mean come on, characters like Kousuke and Dai-san barely appeared in the fic and even the author sometimes forgets they exist despite being important characters . . . supposedly . . . I mean, look at it. The chapters that I barely even appear is the chapter where I get sick and the chapter where I'm not even in the battle. And even in those chapters, I still get one big scene! It's not even Super Sentai anymore, it's the Ryunosuke Rekka show! The harem element stays though, the harem that I gather is of course what makes Kodenranger, Kodenranger, but it'll take some rewriting to make it work. For example, I'm going to be dating the girls now."
"Ooh, that's a big jump." Lee said. "So which girl?"
"Um . . . I dated Ryn this chapter and I have a date with Miku later on."
"When did you get a date with Miku?" Ryn asked.
"Like I said, the reader must figure that out themselves." Ryu said.
"So basically, you're a pervert now?" Karen asked.
"Not really, but I'm not going to be some goody two shoes now, especially since that's one of the reasons why the original Kodenranger is so bad. I'm just too good, too perfect. Perfect at everything. The only really flaw I have is that I get corrupted easily but that just gets fixed in the end. OF THE CHAPTER! I don't even know why people like me! Hell, the author realized that I'm a horrible character even though I'm his favorite and now the author completely hates me! Did you not read the final chapter of Kodenranger! I get the most gruesome death as it's actually described and I get my arm sliced off! My FUCKING arm, I mean WHAT THE FUCK! Seriously, this is why this whole fic is getting rewritten."
"So, it's all about the fic." Rai said nodding.
"Well there is more." Ryu said. "For one, the author got mad at the 'net who brings light' . . ." Ryu nodded his head. "Note that this is not the person's name but the author would rather not say the name but that's the closest he could get it to be close without revealing who it is. Anyway, he started asking for an update for Kodenranger. Now you see at this point, the author was trying hard to fix the fic. But this guy do you know what he is?" The class shook their heads. "He's some person who has never reviewed Kodenranger before!" The class gasped. "And do you know why he complained for an update! He wanted an ending to Kodenranger!" Ryu shook his head in disbelief. "Can you believe that! This one guy had the nerve to ask the Author for something even though that guy is nothing to the Author." Ryu looked at the readers. "Remember, the author hates all of you! He doesn't care about any of you. It doesn't matter how many of you favorite his stuff or put his stuff on your alerts, he hates all of your guts. Except for those that are in his own favorites and alerts and those who actually review his fics. Yes, he doesn't care if you guys favorite his stuff or anything, but he doesn't care about any of you unless there's a review with your name on it or like I said, on the author's own favorites or alerts list. Now if any one who doesn't review ever asks me to do something for them again, expect the author to smite you with curses and another thing like 'Kodenranger Final Chapter.' Never ask for an update because you want to see an ending, the author was trying to update for the reader's sake but the 'net who brings light' is the final straw. If you're reading this, you better know who you are and know this, Redryuranger11 hates your guts. You can stop reading Kodenranger, but he wouldn't care, since all you care about is an ending. Well you got your ending! You happy!"
"Isn't that a little harsh?" Ryn asked Ryu.
"EVERYTHING IS GOING TO GET HARSH!" Ryu shouted. "For one, next chapter Karen's going to die!"
"HII!" Karen shrieked.
"Don't worry, everything will work out in the end." Ryu said. "But everything is going to become more serious, no more overly long gags! No more goody two shoes, no more 'we're friends!' shit. It's all going to boil down to me not getting any screen time and me developing my character gradually till I can call myself the hero and actually get some screen time! HELL! I'm not even the leader anymore!"
"Who is!" Every one asked.
"WHO ELSE!" Ryu shouted. "LET THE READER FIGURE IT OUT!" Ryu shouted looking at Rai. "Everything here is done to actually make Elemental Sentai Kodenranger a memorable fic! And know this, the reader has brought this upon themselves as the readers themselves don't even know why they like the original Elemental Sentai Kodenranger fic and the author doesn't even know why these guys stuck around for as long as they did. It's going to be true on Super Sentai action from now on!"
Ryu sighed and looked at the readers again. "Hopefully you people will get to like this fic as much as you like that old horrible fic. Don't try to argue about it being good, Redryuranger11 will argue back and he will win. After all, you are all supposed to know the story better than Redryuranger11, but none of you could even help him in his time of need. When he said he was going to cancel, no one helped and the only person who spoke to him just ask 'are you going to delete everything'. It's a wonder why he even cares for some of you the way he does. He's writing this fic mostly for you guys to enjoy and for his self satisfaction in creating a wonderful story with wonderful characters and development. Even though I said the things I have, hopefully you guys will review and fave this fic. I don't know if we even deserve those things anymore after what I've said, but hopefully you people will look pass these ramblings and enjoy the fic itself. We are doing everything we can to fix Elemental Sentai Kodenrangers. Hopefully you people will stay around, and watch out for some of Redryuranger11's fics. He will be rewriting them so I don't appear and mess things up. Remember, if you liked me, then I don't even know why you liked me, and neither do you too since you couldn't help nor explain. Well see you as this rewriting continues. Let's make Elemental Sentai Kodenranger in to the best that it can!"
