A/N: So I'm doing this story with the lovely ForestFireSong. If you want to see her other stories just click on over to her profile. We alternate chapters. This one is mine, Lily's POV. Hers will be Sealand's in chapter 2. This story takes place after 'Race to the Nexus' so Dominic has the Rhino Steel Zord. Jellica, Carnisoar, and Grizzaka will also be in it, as well as the other main villains. They might be a little OOC, but that's the power of Fanfic people! So without further ado, here's a crossover of PRJF and Hetalia. Okay go.
"Hey Theo, can you get table seven? I have a party of nine coming," I call to Theo across the counter at Jungle Karma Pizza. At first I don't think he hears me over the din of the restaurant but then he looks up from the cash register.
"Sure Lil, I got you covered." I give him a grateful smile as I place money in his hand.
"Thanks. I would've asked Casey, but he already has half the restaurant since RJ'S gone again on a fishing expedition." I roll my eyes and Theo shakes his head.
"It's not even to fish! I really don't see the sense in it." I lean against the counter for a second to catch my breath. After working for three whole days with no attack is probably some sort of record. And since RJ is gone, we all have to work harder.
At that moment Dominic steps from behind the door to the kitchen in a jacket. He has a pizza box tucked under one arm and starts to waltz past us.
"And where are you going, Dom?" Theo asks pointedly. Dominic cringes.
"I have a delivery to go to, Theo."
"And you're leaving Casey and Fran by themselves in the kitchen at lunch hour?" Theo asks, mock-outraged. Dominic shrugs.
"I'll be back. Besides, it's one delivery."
"Lighten up, Theo." I say lightly. "Hurry back Dom, or I'll never forgive you," I call after him as he walks out the front door. Theo sighs.
"That guy…" he mutters before he opens the register and gives me the change. I smile at him.
"I'll see you. And don't forget you have seven." Theo raises one eyebrow at me.
"Lil, you're talking to the master of multitasking. You'd think I forget?" I pretend to think for a moment, then I have a devious thought. Theo won't like it though.
"Well, you did fill all the cheese shakers with salt one time." That was before he had learned to clear his mind of clutter from Master Swoop. He was still good at multitasking and being good at everything, but now he loosened up more and wasn't always good at everything, no matter how much he wanted to be.
"Hey, that was one time! And besides-" I cut Theo off before he can work himself up.
"Bye Theo." I wink at him. Then I prance off to my party of nine. Since more than half of them were kids, they preoccupied my mind for a while until I notice thick-eye browed guy in a sailor suit followed by another kid with messy, light brown hair. My eyes light up at the prospect of new customers. But before I can take over them I have to get the kids orders. With them all screaming and yelling over each other, I just grin and bear it before I'm thankful to just walk away and up to the oven to call thorough it.
"Hey guys, I need one special, two delights and a mini-special," I say loudly, bearing the heat for a minute. Casey gets back to me and I can barely see him through the slit in the oven. But I can see the flour on his apron and hands and I feel myself blush a little.
Or that might've been from the oven's fire as the heat was pretty, well, hot.
"Okay got you." I hear him repeat the order to Fran, who I picture is nodding in attention and going to work. I wipe a piece of hair out of my face.
"Oh and Casey?" I call to him I see his back turn back to me and bend down.
"What?" he asks, curious. I smile, feeling my heart flutter a little bit. Even though I told him he's more like a little brother to me, I still find him attractive. It's just in the heat of the moment I didn't know how to handle it and I just said what I'd normally say to anyone that hinted that I liked them.
"We got new customers," I reply. I can almost feel his smile and he lets out a laugh.
"Good. Make sure to please them. Although, being you, I'm sure that won't be much of a problem." He turns from the oven and gets to work before I can answer. I walk to the new customers table happily smiling. It might've been from the fact that the lunch hour was almost over or that Dai Shi hadn't attacked in the last few days, but I'm pretty sure it was Casey.
"Welcome to Jungle Karma Pizza. I'm Lily and I'll be looking after you guys today. You haven't been here before, have you?" I ask, wondering where these guys came from. Despite being a ranger and all, working in a restaurant-especially a pizza shop-you kind of get to know mostly everyone who lives here.
And now that I get a closer look at them, they look more like, well…kids. Not super young kids, but still maybe a little younger than us. What could kids be doing out by themselves in Ocean bluff? I wonder. It's certainly a little unusual.
"No, we're from far away and we're visiting a friend, but typically he hasn't shown up yet!" The one in the sailor suit answers enthusiastically. He has a slight British accent. I raise my eyebrows a little. I mean, people tell me I'm bubbly and optimistic but he's practically bouncing off the seat of the orange booth. His companion is a little calmer.
"Y-yeah, he's not exactly known for b-being on time," his friend chimes in. For some reason he looks nervous, but I just smile and that seems to reassure him.
"Well, you should still give him a chance. What would you like to drink or do you want to wait for him?" I ask. Being the person I am, I can't help but defend their unknown friend, who is probably as old as they are.
"No, we'll order and eat without him," the sailor says.
"Well, I'll give you a few minutes to look over the menu and I'll be right back." I walk away towards Theo who is still behind the register but has his eyes closed.
"Hey Theo? Earth to Theo!" I say. His eyes snap open.
"How did that party of nine go?" he asks, yawning. I nudge him to wake him up even more.
"Were you sleeping?" I inquire, ignoring his question, because I don't' really want to talk about how hard it is look over so many children. He shakes his head.
"No!" he declares firmly. "I was relaxing and meditating." I roll my eyes.
"Sure Theo. Anyway, we got new customers, but they look more like kids then adults." Theo looks over to where I incline my head.
"Yeah, they do. Don't give them a hard time though."
"Like I would," I smile. At that moment we here a beep. The beep that hadn't come in three days. The beep that signaled something was very wrong. I hoped that it would just be RJ checking up on us but in the back of my mind I knew it wouldn't. Theo turns around and inconspicuously puts on his morpher. I keep an eye on everyone around us as he speaks quietly to whoever's on the other end. After a minute he takes them off and looks at me seriously.
"Casey went upstairs to see what was happening, if anything, and it looks like we have trouble." I feel my heart sink a little bit but I but on a brave face. I actually relish the fights They give me sort of…rush, if you will.
"Okay then. Looks like my new customers will have to wait." We both nod than Theo goes to the back room quickly to let Fran know that she's alone. I quickly walk to the table to let them know I'll be a little slow. Before I get there Theo, done alerting Fran, grabs my arm.
"Lily, we have to go. Fran will take care of them. Casey's already on his way."
"Right," I say and I toss off my apron and hat on the counter, knowing Fran will pick them up. As we rush off out the front door, I don't notice my new customers staring at us in fascination, nor do I notice that they get up as if to follow us.
"Did you guys let Dom know?" I ask as Theo and I run to the square. He shakes his head.
"Don't worry, I got it." I put on my Solar Morpher. "Dom?"
"Hey Lily. I'm on my way back, don't freak out."
"Dominic," I say seriously. "We've got trouble. The town square. We're already on our way."
"Okay, I'm on my way," I hear the cheerfulness in his voice fade to be replaced with determination and can't help but smile, knowing even though we haven't fought in awhile-okay, a few days, but still-we got this.
"Should we morph?" I hint at Theo. He nods.
"Jungle Beast, Spirit Unleashed!" We both shout as we run. In a moment we are in our outfits, still running. But when we reach the square, we see Casey already there. Dominic arrives a few moments later. There are already Rinshi crowding the square.
"About time you guys showed up!" Casey calls to us, rolling under a Rinshi's kick and shoving him down in the chest.
"Sorry Casey! But leave some fun for us!" Theo shouts back, already holding his Jungle Tonfa. I get out my Jungle Bo, ready to take on the Rinshi.
"No problem Theo!" Casey cries as he comes to join us. Dominic holds up a hand and I notice he isn't morphed yet.
"Hang on," he says and Theo sighs exasperatedly.
"Why didn't you do this before you came?" he asks in an annoyed tone. Dominic shrugs, then gives a small laugh. He gets out his Rhino Morpher and is enlarges.
"Jungle Beast, Spirit Unleashed!" he yells, then turns into the Rhino ranger before us. Theo sighs again.
"Finally," he mutters. I roll my eyes, then nudge Theo. His helmeted head turns to me. I can almost see his eyes softening. We stand in a line. Casey inclines his head to us.
"Ready?" Dom and Theo nod.
"Let's just get this over with," I answer him. We then run off to our separate battles, as the civilians had already run for safety.
I dodge a kick from a Rinshi and instead I trip it. One grabs my shoulders, so I grab theirs and throw them to the side. They hurl into a few others and they all fall.
Another one goes for me and I block their hit then with my other hand I give them a few hits to the stomach. As three come at me at once, I jump in the air, turn in the air, and give them a powerful kick that sends them flying backwards. I then jump a little, spin around with my leg out, and kick them all down.
As more come, I smile inside my helmet. This is what I've been missing.
"Cheetah jab!" I cry then start to punch them quickly, mercilessly. Some try to hit me but I deflect their shots and soon they are all lying down around me. Then, they vanish in a cloud of purple smoke.
"Good job rangers, but that was just the warm up, I' m afraid," a voice calls down on us. We look around. It seemed to come from the top of one of the many glass-plated buildings around us.
"It sounded like Grizzaka," Dominic mutters I nod.
"Come out, Grizzaka, and show yourself!" Casey shouts. And lo and behold, Grizzaka appears before us.
"Long time no see," Dominic calls to him. Grizzaka smiles.
"I'm glad you remember me then," he answers calmly.
"Like we could forget you," Theo says, pointing his Tonfa at him. Grizzaka merely adjusts his arm armor.
"Are you ready to play rangers?" he growls.
"You bet we are!" Casey answers, then turns to us. "Come on guys, we can take him." Grizzaka is pretty powerful, but we've beat him before. Not permanently, but still.
But before we can use any of our attacks, Grizzaka hits us with one of his own. We are blasted off the ground and thrown backward. I crash into an abandoned car and tumble off the front. Owwww…that hurt.
Casey, who was thrown not far from me, runs up and helps me up. I'm glad I can't feel him through my suit or that he can't see through me helmet, because I'd be faintly blushing.
"You okay?" he asks. I nod.
"Yeah. Let's finish this." We look to Theo who is gingerly getting up. He looks at us and we all nod.
"Thinking what I'm thinking?" he yells.
"Yep," I call back.
"Jungle Master Mode!" we all scream, then a few moments later, we are in Jungle Master Mode. "Firing Jets!" we all yell out as we start off to Grizzaka. Dom runs behind us, ready for the finishing blow.
But Grizzaka just blasts another ball of explosions at us and we fall again.
And repeat. And repeat again.
No matter what we do, we can't beat him this time. And it's getting harder and harder to get back up. Finally, I can't anymore. It just hurts too much and I'm so beaten and tired. After we are all thrown that time, I feel myself de-morph.
"Lily!" the others exclaim and I notice Theo is de-morphed too.
"Guys, I'm okay. Just finish him," I manage out. Theo looks at me, concerned.
"Had enough, rangers?" Grizzaka calls out to us. Casey and Dominic turn to him.
"Okay, now you've made me mad!" Casey declares, making a fist. He and Dom start forward but are hit by another one of Grizzaka's explosions and they fly towards us and land in front of me and Theo.
"Guys!" I call weakly, but keeping my eyes open is becoming too much. I clutch my stomach from the pain and I see Casey, Dom, and Theo all lie there, helpless.
"Guys…" I say again, wearier then before. It's all I can do to see Grizzaka make his way towards us, ready to finish us off.
No…I have to get up, I have to keep fighting.
But I can't. The last thing I see before I black out is two people running towards us, one clothed in a sailor suit.
