Chapter 1: XKSquirt7 Strikes Again
During one day during their vacation, Summer was in the midst of a Combat Arms match. Her character, ObliviaZ2S, wasn't having a good game - two veteran players named XKSquirt7 and Kilik55 kept getting the better of her. Ben, playing as ObliviaZ2B, wasn't faring much better - he kept running past a camping player the two Rangers had dubbed '88' each time he respawned without knowing it until he went down.
"Darn that Kilik!" Summer cried as one of the two that plagued her scored again.
"I know, Summer. I keep running past 88 without knowing it until he gets me and i keep trying to - OH NOT AGAIN, 88!"
"It's a legitimate strategy!" came 88's voice on the headsets.
"Go 'round the other side next time. You might get him this time." Summer suggested. Ben took Summer's advice, but never made it close - Kilik55 cut him off, saying "They're onto ya, 88."
"You're not getting away this ti- DARN YOU, SQUIRT!" Summer had started to follow Kilik as he neared 88's position, under heavy-yet-inaccurate fire from Summer trying to get Kilik only for Squirt to stop her short.
"Nice save there, Squirt." Kilik told his ally. In the end, Squirt's team won. Next match was everyone for themselves - One Man Army. Players started to fall in very quick succession by a player named VexusElectro ("Sure, NOW Alpha starts hacking when down by a longshot!" Squirt complained, then tossed her immediately as he was an Elite Moderator.) Squirt won in a near-dead heat - 45 compared to 44s from Kilik and 88 - by last getting Summer.
"I'm opening a videochat so i can talk to these three pesky players." Summer told Ben, who responded with one of his own. Spawning above their boxes were three showing blue-baseball-capped boys with black hair. All three caps had a blue letter inside a white star - a C inside the one on the left, an S on the right, and in the middle (this one had a blue scouter on his left eye) a J. Three more boxes spawned beneath those of Ben and Summer, these showing long-haired girls whose hair bore several highlights - the left one had green highlights in her dark blue hair, the right one was blonde with amethyst hints, while the one in the middle - Summer was breathtaken by her beauty - had pink highlights in her wine-red hair. It was the blonde that startled her, triggering something in her memory banks.
"I didn't know you were a Combat Arms player, Vexon!" Summer told the blonde. The blunette was listening in, as she asked her blonde ally "Vexon?"
"That was my Zeta Ranger codename, Dawn. And as for your statement, Summer, right back atcha." Vexon replied. She and the redhead both had two bulbous hair clips and a flower-embroidered hairband in their hair - the redhead also had a ribbon in hers that blocked the right-side flower from view. Then the boy in the middle of the top row asked something.
"Anyone up for fireteam mode?" Everyone agreed, and the match was on. They were doing Desert Thunder on Normal.
'Good thing i equipped all these Respawn Tokens.' Ben thought.
"I was just about to ask about that, Ben." Dawn suddenly replied. This startled Ben, who never said anything about it.
"Seriously, are you Psychic?" Ben asked Dawn, who replied "Rochelle and ZR1 are, I'm not. I was just taking a lucky guess." That's when Squirt piped up "Is Kaelynne standing behind you again, Dawn? You might have just caught a burst of her incredible luck." Rochelle (Vexon) retorted with "She was nowhere near ya when your faulty Chaos Control Locator System spawned ya in front of a flying Bowser at the last moment with his spikeless front side hittin' ya after i Nova Charged him." This struck a chord in Squirt's memory banks ("If i remember correctly, you had a similar situation when your ascent into a Super Saiyan 4, though unintended, somehow planted ya with Brazelica's signature heels.")
"Can we just get to the match? You guys are acting just like me and Lily used to before i met Rochelle." At this, the match was on. They successfully cleared the mission, with four players never falling once (XKSquirt7, Kilik55, SkyAngel507, and, surprisingly, Summer) while none of the others never fell more than twice over the entire mission. After the match the eight videochat boxes reappeared.
"Thanks for the covering fire, SkyAngel." Summer said - one guy almost got her if SkyAngel hadn't made the save. The unbelieveably beautiful redhead blushed at this, saying "Good thing i saw that one guy taking after ya - got him as he passed me, unaware of my presence. It helped that Squirt pulled a Hawk Harrelson strikeout call once i got him."
"Hey, i was ready on standby in case ya missed, 07GA." Squirt replied. "And by the way, i've heard of a special tournament of 8-on-8 matches to be held in two weeks. Me, Kilik, and 88 have already signed up. Registration closes in ten days."
Two weeks later the two Pokemon Rangers arrived at the central hub of the tournament Squirt had mentioned. Standing at a podium in the front of the large room was the MC.
"Attention, all players. It's time to announce the teams as picked by our special guest starters." This got the attention of the one thousand twenty-four people. "The first team, known as Omega ZR109, will be captained by XKSquirt7." At this, the picture of a long gold-haired person wearing a blue scouter (which Summer thought was familiar) and a baseball cap worn backwards appeared. Barely visible at the bottom was a blue hooded, zippered sweatshirt that was worn open over a green t-shirt.
"And now for the rest of the team, as chosen by honorary guest starter Shawn Michaels, are as follows: Number 2 is SkyAngel507." The beautiful redhead's picture appeared.
"Number 3 is ObliviaZ2B." Ben's picture appeared.
"Number 4 is PinkFyre29." This time Rochelle's picture appeared.
"Number 5 is Kilik55." Another gold-haired, backwards-capped boy popped up.
"Number 6 is SinnohDBJ8." Dawn noticed her picture turn up.
"Number 7 is BulletHail." A third boy, cap on backwards and with golden hair, appeared. Now Summer was very nervous. She didn't want to have to play against Ben and Vexon. Dawn walked up to her.
"I know you're nervous, Summer. I felt the same way after the appeal round of my various Pokemon Contests."
"And now, Number 8 is..." Summer started getting even more nervous, and was now close to fainting "...ObliviaZ2S!" At the end of the line for XKSquirt7's team appeared Summer's picture. The young Ranger breathed a sigh of relief. After about three hours the teams were set.
"Okay, everyone, find your teammates, and tomorrow the first match of round one will begin: Storm Chasers against Green Typhoon." There was a great hurry amongst the over one thousand players. Ben, Summer, and Dawn were standing next to each other at the start, so they went looking together. Summer noticed Rochelle first - appearing at 6' 5.5" (when they first met Rochelle was only 6' 2") - the normally 4.5' Dawn appeared 5' 2.5", bringing her head to level with Summer's ear (Summer was 5' 5"). As they continued looking Rochelle spotted SkyAngel signalling for them (appearing 6' 4.5" when she was normally 5' 8") and they went over. SkyAngel pointed to the three golden-haired, backwards-capped boys standing in a group at the vending machines - two of them were less than six feet tall with their hair failing to reach their shoulders. One of them had a freely-hanging lock of gold hair in front of his foreheadand was wearing a shirt bearing the legend "Six-Pack Abs" positioned over a six-pack of soda cans with blue jeans (the other two boys had jeans on as well) while the other one, without the first one's lock in front, wore a shirt with a large red 88 on it. It was the one in the sweatshirt that really caught them off-guard.
This boy appeared even height-wise with SkyAngel due to a pair of five-and-a-half-inch heeled pumps, and his golden hair reached beyond his waist. Barely visible beneath the sweatshirt on the left side was a small picture of an indian head around which the legend "Camp Onseyawa" was placed. SkyAngel was the first one to recover.
"Seriously, Jet, now you've got Stewart and Chucky doing it." she said. Ben asked her what she meant to which she replied "Jet's always leaving one of his first three Super Saiyan forms on after he's done with what he ascended into it to do in the first place, and now it seems Stewart and Chucky have taken that habit from him."
"So, you two are Pokemon Rangers, eh?" Stewart (the one in the 'Six-Pack Abs' shirt) asked Ben and Summer. Ben nodded. Chucky (the one in the 88 shirt) then said "Maybe we should do some introductions. You two clearly know Rochelle through her Vexon codename" - he indicated the tallest team member, who nodded - "and as for the others, this is Dawn Brayzii" - pointing to the blunette, who nodded herself - "Stewart Buckley, the Orange Spark, currently in his Super Saiyan 2 form" - Stewart struck a pose from Dragon Ball Z, leaning on his right leg and extending his arms that direction (fortunately nobody was standing there) - "the Runite Falcon, Chucky Knapton, also known as 88 - 88's my XQ agent number as well as the car number of my favorite NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr." - he pointed to himself - "the Amethyst Angel, Anise Azeat" - the girl with the incredible beauty struck a pose of her own, raising a water-charged left hand, middle finger down, into the air while kneeling on one knee (Dawn and Rochelle joined the pose, both raising elementally-charged right hands, middle finger down, so that they crossed with Anise's) - "and the Cyan Tsunami - he just started using that codename - XQ captain Jet Brazie." At this, the Super Saiyan 3, high-heeled male crossed his arms in an X formation, index and pinkie fingers on both hands pointed out.
"What's with those heels?" Summer asked the girls. Rochelle replied "The ones Dawn, Anise, and myself are wearing are all XJR 877-Series models, whereas Jet's - he gained that option upon using the Zonova Option on his Ice Star Power Suit back on Tallon IV - are the basis to the inaugural 565-Series model." Summer, however, had another question.
"Who's Brazelica?" This time it was Jet who responded.
"That's my older sister Hollie's nickname - i came up with it myself. And, before you ask about that little retort i fired back at Rochelle after she mentioned my problematic Locator System for when i use Chaos Control - darn thing keeps spawning me in the way of something barreling right for where i wind up at so close to when that person gets there i have absolutely no chance to do anything evasive - i've got Psychic powers myself, just so ya know - her signature heels are a different XJR model - 545-Brazel. As far as i know XJR's working on a new 877-Series model for her."
"How about we get some shut-eye?" Anise asked, having already removed her hair accessories. The other members of Omega ZR109 prepared for some sleep - to play certain games one has to have focus.
