What defines a hero? Is it the drive to do what's right? Is it the will to protect those closest to you? Is it the desire to prevent the worst from coming into fruition? Sure, all those things are good qualities, but what really defines a hero is what's in their heart. These young individuals are about to prove that very quality.
Over at Genso no Gakuen, we focus on a group of six girls getting ready to leave for a large bus that had arrived in front of their school. The girls each wore black sailor uniforms with different colors for each of them. The first girl was a girl with black hair tied in a ponytail, glasses over her blue eyes, and her sailor uniform had red on it. The second girl had curly red hair, green eyes, and her sailor uniform had pink accents. The third girl was a little taller, had long wavy brown hair, amber eyes, and her sailor uniform had yellow accents. The fourth had long blonde hair tied in three tails (two pigtails and one ponytail), purple eyes, and her uniform had green accents. The fifth was the shortest of the group, with rather short brown hair, yellow eyes, and her sailor uniform had white on it. The last of the group had neck length hair dyed violet, green eyes, and her sailor uniform had blue accents.
They got on the city bus along with several other students before the driver looked at this list as they took their seat.
"Kazuyoshi Mako," the driver checked.
"Ohaiyo," the girl with red nodded.
"Uesugi Torrie."
"Yoroshiku ne," the girl with pink waved.
"Yamagishi Lisa."
"Present and accounted for," the girl with yellow bowed in her seat.
"Okita Holly."
"Here," the girl with green nearly whispered.
"Mishima Karin."
"Here," the girl with white said, holding up her hand.
"Musashi Sakiyo."
"Yo," the girl with blue waved, flashing a salute to the driver.
"As for everyone else… *closes the small book* looks like we're all good," the driver nodded before taking his seat and starting the bus.
"You girls excited for Utau Tani?" Lisa asked.
"You bet I am, I'm stoked," Torrie smiled.
"What is this town like?" Mako's uniform inquired, the collar becoming its red eyes.
"From what I heard, Utau Tani is a place where music enthusiasts live, and there's a lot of great shops there as well," Mako answered, making the other girls smile in response.
"It must look really pretty," Holly figured.
"Only one way to find out," Karin shrugged.
"Shuppatsu shinkou (Full speed ahead)!" Torrie shouted while pointing forward, the bus starting to drive.
At the same time, we find a pirate galleon that is under the water as inside, we see a young man with short brown hair, green eyes, and was shirtless while wearing a full length sleeveless brown jacket to show off his slim muscular physique and tattoos, black jeans, and red sneakers. He had a fire sleeve tattoo on his right arm with 'Kaen' on his knuckles, a water sleeve tattoo on his left arm with 'Mizu' on his fingers, a six point star on his chest, and lightning on his right hip. He also wears a faded brown pirate hat.
"...Oh hello there, Narrator-san. I didn't expect to see you here like this. What's up?"
Nothing much, just the usual.
"This sounds very special. Come on, I'll show you the rest of the crew," Yoshi smiled, deciding to show his crew.
The first one was a man with a black hair cut cleanly, green eyes, and seen wearing a blue coat, camouflage slacks, and black shoes.
"This is Matsuda Satoshi. He's my navigator for the ship. C'mon, Satoshi, say hi to Narrator-san."
"Yoshi-san, why are you introducing me to the narrator?" Satoshi asked.
"It's a special story this time. Gotta introduce everyone to the audience in case they dropped in here not seeing the main story."
"Oh, I see. Just let the others know so they don't look at you funny. Carry on."
"Right. Over this way. *directs the camera over to a tinkering station*"
This was a girl with long black hair styled in a wavy length, glasses over her blue eyes, and wearing a brown mechanic's vest on top of a pink button down shirt, blue jeans, brown boots, and suspenders with a few wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers, and other tools attached.
"This is Saromi Robin-chan, our inventer and tech girl," Yoshi introduced.
"Ohaiyo gozaimasu, Narrator-san," Robin greeted.
Likewise, Robin. Next was a man with spiky black hair, brown eyes, a white shirt, black pants and shoes, and wore a blue bandana around his head.
"This is our weapons meister, Kusuhara Jack. Just so ya know Jack, special event occurring."
"Yo," Jack waved as Yoshi now directed our attention to two girls in the kitchen.
The first girl had brown hair, blue eyes, and is often seen wearing a purple top, blue shorts, and long blue Converse sneakers. Alongside her was a woman a little taller than her with long black hair, blue eyes, and was wearing a white dress with navy blue Converse sneakers.
"These are the Fujimoto sisters. Mitsuru is our medic, and Ai is our cook, my first mate and girlfriend," Yoshi smiled.
"Ha-Hazukashi (Ho-How embarrassing)," Ai blushed as she looked at Yoshi and gave him a little kiss.
"Hello, Narrator-san. Is something going on?" Mitsuru asked.
Nothing, just warming up for the readers.
"Okay. Go ahead."
Next up were a male and female duo. The male had short black hair that was slicked back, blue eyes, and was wearing a yellow shirt under a black vest, black shorts and was barefoot, his right leg showing a tattoo of a shark that was going up with its jaws open. The female had long curly red hair, green eyes, and was wearing a navy blue leather jacket over a shirt with a wolf's face on it, navy blue yoga pants that stopped right at the middle of her calves, and was also barefoot, her toenails being painted blue.
"These are the final recruits, former Gyojin generals, Harisento and Okamizu. Now they prefer to be known as Hariko and Mizuki. And I also have a couple more secret allies from the other side of the law if you know what I mean," Yoshi replied.
The two marines?
"Exactly. Can't show them here because they're already doing their thing at their base."
"Yoshi-san, you should come and take a look at this," Satoshi called out, making Yoshi sigh before he ran over to the control center.
"Any reason for the 'You should come take a look at this' cliche?" Yoshi asked.
"A very good reason. Look, here. There's word of a new treasure being held at this town museum. The treasure seems to be some kind of golden violin."
"Sounds interesting," Robin figured as she looked it up, "The history behind it dates back to the 17th Century. Something about it being played for good luck."
"It looks like the fiddle from The Devil Went Down to Georgia," Yoshi noted.
"I guess so. It says here that it's being shown in town called Utau Tani," Satoshi noted.
"Sounds like a place well known for music," Jack commented.
"It's decided. We're all going to Utau Tani!" Yoshi declared before grabbing the wheel and spinning it, moving the ship underwater and sending it to their course of destination.
We finally cut to Utau Tani itself, specifically Subarashi Records, and the workers within. The first of them is a girl with long, straight black hair and blue eyes while wearing a leather jacket with a red shirt underneath it, along with some black jeans and bright red sneakers. The first male had short brown hair, with matching eyes and wore a black suit and tie with a blue button down shirt underneath and black shoes. The second guy had messy hair, that almost looks curly, died in green as well as blue eyes while wearing a messy green t-shirt with a grey sweater, camouflage colored slacks, and lime colored sneakers. The third guy has blond hair styled into a fauxhawk along with brown eyes, and he wore a sleeveless jean vest with a yellow t-shirt that has a rhino busting through a wall on it, blue jeans and black sneakers. Finally, the other girl in there with them had long brown hair styled in a ponytail along with green eyes, wearing a pink shirt with "Girl Power" written on it, as well as a light pink skirt and is seen either with a pair of simple gray sneakers. It didn't take long for a man with short blonde hair, golden eyes, and was wearing a floral button down shirt with a G clef symbol on it, blue jeans, and sneakers to arrive.
"Everybody, gather around," the man called out, making the group of employees look at him, "I am going to present a prized artifact for everyone to see, right here in this store."
"Really?" the man in the suit gawked.
"An artifact being held in Subarashii Records? What's the occasion?" the girl with the leather jacket asked.
"It's going to be displayed in the museum later, but I felt like showing it to my customers first," the boss shrugged in response before pulling out a violin case before opening it up to reveal the golden violin from before.
"Nandesu ka!? A-A golden violin!" the man in green gasped in shock.
"Reminds me of the golden fiddle from The Devil Went Down to Georgia," the man with the fauxhawk commented.
"It's very pretty," the girl in pink complimented.
"I'm glad you all think it looks lovely, and the customers will think so too," the boss smiled, "This should be shown to them before it gets sent to the museum."
"You sure that's a good idea? What if someone tries to steal it?" the girl with the jacket asked.
"I'm glad you asked, Mikoto-kun. It'll be held in a firm and secure glass case," the boss assured, placing the violin gently into the case.
"That's good to hear," the man in the suit sighed with relief as the boss stood the case up for all to see.
Outside Subarashii Records, stood a mysterious black figure who eyed the violin. His eyes glowed red and a sinister smile appeared on his face before he backed up, disappearing in a black smoke.

The six schoolgirls soon arrived in Utau Tani, their bus stopping outside before stepping out to look at the town.
"Sugee~" Torrie smiled.
"Wow…" Holly gasped in awe.
"Quite the place," Mako admitted.
"What is there to do in this town?" Lisa's uniform wondered aloud.
"What isn't there to do in this town?" Lisa smiled as they walked around a bit.
"Let's split up and look around. We'll meet at this place right here. Subarashii Records," Karin suggested, pointing out the store in question on the map, the others smiling as they split up into groups of two.
At the shore of the town, the S.S. Anne Bonnie docked as the pirates began set foot on the shore. Yoshi clapped his hands before the ship descended back in the ocean.
"Now then, we should scout this place out, see if there are any more worthy items in hiding," Yoshi stated, "We'll split up and look for the golden violin."
"Roger. Robin-san and I will go scout over by the town center," Satoshi confirmed.
"My brother and I will remain by the docks in case anything happens," Mizuki added.
"I'll go take a look with Mitsuru-san over near downtown," Jack informed.
"That leaves me with Ai-chan to check out the various places around elsewhere," Yoshi smiled, making his girlfriend blush a bit before the crew clapped their hands and split up.
"I hope we find what we're looking for," Ai muttered.
"Don't worry, we will."
"Alright, we're going to get a whole slew of customers today, so I want everyone to line up," the boss ordered as the five employees got into position and stood straight, "Let's make sure everyone's here. Takimoto Mikoto?"
"Here, Kami," the girl with the leather jacket replied.
"Miraba Kazu?"
"Present," the man in the suit answered.
"Hanabusa Neiji?"
"Present and accounted for," the man in green nodded.
"Dakaku Saburo?"
"Here," the man with the fauxhawk answered.
"And Ino Jessie?"
"Hai~," the girl in pink waved.
"Good. Everyone's here. Now be on your best behavior when customers arrive. Got it?" Kami instructed, the others nodding before he opened up shop.
Holly and Saki, at that moment, stopped by an ice cream parlor and had some.
"Mmm, this is really good," Saki smiled, enjoying the taste of her chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.
"Hai. So fresh," Holly smiled, liking her mint.
"Not to bother you or anything, but I'm getting a weird feeling. It's not Akajyu, but something more sinister," Saki's uniform noted.
"I feel it too, Yukikami-dono," Holly's uniform added, getting a similar feeling.
"Then we should be on the lookout for something like that, right?" Saki smirked.
"Should we look into it Donsai?" Holly checked with her uniform.
"It isn't growing too strong, Holly-dono, but it's very faint," her uniform, Donsai, noted as they got up and took their ice cream to go.
As they went out the door, Saki accidentally bumped into a familiar girl from before, accidentally spilling her ice cream on herself.
"Oh my goodness, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to ruin your snack like that. I should've looked where I was going," the girl quickly apologized to the point of pulling a napkin out to clean up the spill.
"It's cool. It's cool," Saki shrugged off, "You live in this town?"
"Not really. I just got here with my other friends."
"Saki, you okay?" Holly asked out of concern.
"Don't worry, I'm fine," Saki assured, waving it off as if it were nothing.
"Robin-san," they heard a voice call out before they all looked to see another familiar boy, "Don't run so fast. *pant, pant* I was barely able to catch up."
"Oh, gomen. I am a pretty fast runner," Robin nervously giggled.
"What're your names?" Holly inquired.
"Oh. Watashi wa Saromi Robin. This is Matsuda Satoshi-kun, my boyfriend."
"Hi," Satoshi panted as Holly and Saki waved back at them.
"Nice to meet you both," Holly bowed.
"Same to you," Robin smiled, he and Satoshi bowing as well, "Judging from the uniforms, you two are high school students?"
"Yep. We're here on a school trip," Saki confirmed, "Quite the place this is, actually."
"You wanna take a look around with us?" Holly offered.
"I don't see why not," Robin shrugged.
With that, the four began to walk around the town, exploring the place as they smiled.
At that moment, Lisa and Karin found their way to the docks.
"This looks like it's further away from the town," Karin noted.
"It's surprisingly bigger than we imagined," Lisa added before the two looked at a boy and a girl sitting by the dock barefoot, "That's odd."
"Should we say anything to them?"
"Excuse me, you two…? It, um… Are you two going for a swim?"
"Ara? Oh, well, not really no," the girl shrugged off.
"We're just waiting for someone," the boy added.
"Eh? Who exactly?" Karin wondered in confusion.
"No one you'd know. Just an acquaintance of ours," the girl answered.
"Doesn't it get kind of boring just sitting here and waiting?" Lisa inquired.
"In all honesty, it is starting to get a little boring," the boy admitted.
"Still, we promised a friend we'd stay here and wait for him," the girl informed.
"Come now, sister, a little levity and entertainment never hurt anybody. Besides, we got our phones, we'll call him."
"...True… What are your names?"
"Mishima Karin, 1st Year at Genso no Gakuen," Karin introduced.
"Yamagishii Lisa, 3rd Year and Student Council President at the same school," Lisa added with a bow, "And you two are…?"
"Mizuki. This is my brother, Hariko," the girl introduced as she and Hariko stood up.
"May I ask the lack of footwear?"
"It's… how we live," Hariko shrugged.
"Okay. Let's see if there's anything else fun around here," Karin offered, Mizuki nodding as they walked away from the dock.
Back at Subarashii Records, Mikoto and her friends were hard at work as they were helping their recent wave of customers while they were looking at the golden violin being put on display.
"Alright, now this violin is special. It was said that this beauty originated in the 17th Century. Anyone with a pure and kind heart who played it received good luck and fortune for decades, but if played by those with negative energy and cold hearts, then it would bring misfortune and chaos to all those around the player," Kami informed the crowds, who gasped in response to the story, "But you all have nothing to worry about, no, no, no. I'm keeping this safe and sound until the people at the museum take it."
"You think that story's true?" Neiji asked Mikoto.
"I dunno, Neiji. It's possible that it was made up, but most legends are usually exaggerated," Mikoto shrugged.
"I think it sounds like a cool thing to use in a fight," Kazu admitted, "I mean come on, we all have pure hearts. Maybe it will help us fight the Akuma."
"As valid as that sounds, I don't believe that this would actually be a viable weapon. Besides, it's a priceless artifact, it'd more likely be broken than anything else."
As Mikoto turned around while responding, she accidentally bumps into the girl from the group on a school trip.
"Sorry about that," Mikoto apologized.
"No, no, it's fine," the girl responded, "We didn't see you."
"Hey, Mako-chan, look! They have Madonna AND Lady GaGa!" the other girl responded, pointing to two of said artists' most popular albums.
"That's right. There's nothing that this store doesn't have," Jess giggled.
"Ooh. Hello there," Kazu smiled while licking his hand and then slicking his hair back, "Ore wa Miraba Kazu, and might I say you two look really great today?"
"*giggle* Oh, stop it. You're making me blush," the girl with the black and pink sailor uniform giggled in response.
"Easy there, sir. My friend is easily excitable," Mako giggled nervously before she bowed, "I'm Kazuyoshi Mako, 2nd Year at Genso no Gakuen."
"Atashi wa Uesugi Torrie, same grade at the same school," the girl in black and pink added.
"Nice to meet the both of you. I'm Takimoto Mikoto. This is Kazu, as he's said before. My boyfriend is over there, Hanabusa Neiji," Mikoto smiled, pointing to the guy in green.
"Konnichiwa," Neiji waved, "This is my friend and brother, Dakaku Saburo."
"Yo," Saburo smiled.
"And I'm Ino Jessie, but you can call me Jess," Jess added in with a smile.
"Nice to meet you all," Mako said while bowing.
"Ooh, what's that thing over there?" Torrie wondered, pointing to the golden violin in its case.
"You mean you weren't paying attention to the boss' lecture about it? That's a priceless artifact," Neiji pointed out.
"This golden violin, apparently, originated in the 17th Century and-," Mikoto started.
"It's essentially karma for good and bad people, right?" Torrie checked.
"Oh, so you have been listening."
"Not totally. Just about a little bit of it."
"Oi vey… she means well, but sometimes she has a case of selective hearing," Mako giggled nervously.
"Well, I'm into priceless artifacts," they all heard a voice respond, making everyone turn to see a familiar man with a pirate hat and a girl standing next to him.
"Uh, I don't think it's that time to cosplay now," Kazu pointed out, "I like your tattoos though."
"Thanks for the compliments on the tats. But this isn't a costume. It's real."
"Please don't say it," the girl said to herself nervously.
"Ore wa Imamura Yoshida. You can call me Yoshi. Kaizoku da (I'm a pirate)."
"...Pirate?" Mikoto and Mako gasped in shock, many of the others in the building looking at Yoshi weirded out expressions.
"You aren't the least bit subtle about introducing yourself, are you?" they heard a voice say in a bit of annoyance before they all turned to two other figures that they know well.
"Onee-chan," the girl gasped as she and her boyfriend walked up to them.
"Oh hey Jack. Any word?" Yoshi inquired.
"Uh, now's not the time to talk about that sort of thing. Have you noticed everyone staring at you?" Jack pointed out, Yoshi only now noticing this.
"Uh… now that you mention it, yeah. *turns around* Come on, everybody, I thought this was a gathering during the busiest day of the store! It IS the busiest day of the store, isn't it?"
"You are correct, my man," Kami confirmed, walking up to him, "However, I see you do plan to take a look at the golden violin."
"Yes, I do. We mean no harm and carry nothing harmful with us. We're just a few kids looking around town and heard of something rather unique, so we decided to come and take a look for ourselves."
"...Then you dudes and dudettes are okay."
The customers then resumed their shop around as the four pirates huddled around and began to formulate a plan.
"So, what are we going to do?" Ai's sister asked.
"We can't take it with all these people here. It's too risky," Jack noted.
"I got a plan. I'll create a distraction, diverting everyone's attention, including the employees and boss while you and Mitsuru go over to the case and gently take out the golden violin. Then, we'll bust on out of here and be back on the Anne Bonnie in time for dinner," Yoshi smirked.
"Yoshi, you really think that work?"
"I am sure. Everyone will love what I'm gonna do. Ready?"
"Okay," Mitsuru nodded.
"Hai," Ai added.
"Ready? Break," Yoshi muttered as the group split apart, "Hey, Owner. Yeah, you over there, what's your name?"
"Kyle, dude," Kami replied, using his code name.
"Kyle, okay. Say, Kyle, you don't mind if I start up some karaoke, do you?"
"Sure, why not. All customers, and even the employees are entitled to a song or two. Go right ahead."
Yoshi bowed slightly before running on over to the karaoke session. He turned the amps and speakers on before grabbing a mic headset and setting it up.
"Let's kick it," Yoshi smiled as he started turned the music on.
(Insert Song: Superstition by Stevie Wonder)
The music started as Yoshi started moving his arms, drawing the attention of the crowds as he started clapping his hands to the sound of the drums and synthesizer.
"Very superstitious~. Writings on the wall~," he began to sing as he started shimmying with his arms down by his hips, "Very superstitious. Ladders bout' to fall~. Thirteen month old baby. Broke the lookin' glass~. Seven years of bad luck~. The good things in your past~. When you believe in things… that you don't understand, then you suffer~! Superstition ain't the way~!"
As he sang that, he started to spin and shake his head before he shimmied across the stage and then jumped off. The audience cheered for him as Yoshi kept dancing.
"Very superstitious~. Wash your face and hands~. Rid me of the problem~. Do all that you can~," Yoshi sang while getting Torrie and Jess with him before twirling and spinning them a bit, "Keep me in a daydream~! Keep me goin' strong. You don't wanna save me~! Sad is my song. When you believe in things… that you don't understand, then you suffer~! Superstition ain't the way~! Yeh, yeh."
Yoshi began to shuffle his feet a bit before he did a soulful shout while spinning, shaking his head before doing the walking man. He reached his hand to Ai, and though she was reluctant, he pulled her up to get her to dance along with him. As the two danced, with the crowd distracted, Mitsuru and Jack approached the golden violin case and carefully tried to open it.
"Very superstitious~! Nothin' more to say~," Yoshi sang out.
"Very superstitious~! The devil's on his way~," Ai followed up.
"Thirteen month old baby~! Broke the lookin' glass~. Seven years of bad luck~! Good things in your past~," Yoshi and Ai sang in unison as they kept dancing together while Mitsuru and Jack managed to get the violin out, lowering it carefully, "When you believe in things… that you don't understand, then you suffer~! Superstition ain't the way~! No, no, no!"
As he and Ai danced, Yoshi eyed Mitsuru and Jack a moment as they gave them a signal that means it was successful. As the song ended, the crowd applauded for Yoshi and Ai, who bowed before they took their leave.
"Sugoi!" Torrie smiled and cheered.
"That was really impressive," Mikoto admitted.
"You were really great, Yoshi-kun," Mako smiled happily, shaking Yoshi's hand.
"Aw, it was nothing. It was all in good fun. Now if you'll excuse us, we won't give you guys anymore trouble," Yoshi assured as he walked out with Ai.
As soon as they stopped outside the store, Jack and Mitsuru managed to sneak by with the golden violin in arms.
"Daiseikou (Big success)!"
"I doubt it'll take them long to notice that it's gone," Mitsuru noted, "We need to go before they catch on."
As the pirates were set to leave, back in the store, someone took a look at the case and gasped.
"The golden violin's gone!" one customer gasped, garnering the attention of the staff of the store and the school girls.
"Wait, what?! What happened to it!? How is it gone?" Mako gawked in confusion.
"...I bet it's those 'pirates'. They distracted us so they could swipe it from under our nose," Mikoto figured, feeling very irked.
"We gotta find them and take it back!" Neiji responded, pounding his fist into his hand.
"I think they're headed that way," Torrie informed, pointing to the right.
The staff rushed outside, quickly seeing the pirates trying to walk away.
"STOP RIGHT THERE, KAIZOKU~!" Mikoto shouted, getting the attention of Yoshi and his crew.
"Uh oh, uh… NIGERUN DAIYOU~! (RUN AWAY~!)" Yoshi shouted in a panic, running away as his crew followed him.
"HEY! GET BACK HERE!"
The staff and the two girls ran after them, trying to get the violin back from them.
"I told you it wouldn't take them long to figure out!" Mitsuru shouted at the captain.
"We should've gotten away faster!" Jack shouted.
"Just keep runnin!" Yoshi snapped as they bolted through the streets.
"You thieves better give back that violin!" Mako snapped out loud.
'Oi, Mako. Let me take over. I can catch up to those pirates,' Mako heard the voice of her uniform speak to her before nodding and taking off her glasses followed by closing her eyes.
Jess noticed something, but she tripped, bumping into Mako which caused a red aura to zoom right into Mikoto. Mikoto gasped before her black hair went a little wild and a red streak started stretching through it before she opened her eyes, glowing red.
'Na-Nani!? What is this?!' Mikoto panicked in shock and confusion.
"Oops…" Mako responded nervously.
"I'm so sorry about that, Mako-chan," Jess bowed in apology before 'Mikoto' turned around.
"Oi, why don't you watch where you're going? Huh?" she snapped, nearly slapping Jess before Mako grabbed ahold of 'Mikoto'.
"Mikoto-san, daijoubu desu ka?" Neiji asked out of concern.
"Take it easy, Hyouno. You just got sent to the wrong body," Mako defended.
'I… I can't move my body…' Mikoto grunted, trying to regain control.
"Take it easy, Mikoto. I got this. Come on, Hyouno, come back to me and I'll let you take over so we can catch up to the pirates."
"Yea, finally! Let's do this right!" H-Mikoto responded before the red aura left Mikoto and returned to Mako, this caused the band holding Mako's hair to come off, letting off a wild appearance along with a red streak forming in it, and Mako's eyes opening to show they were red.
"What the… What the heck just happened?" Mikoto gawked in confusion.
"...It's like another person awoke within her," Saburo noticed.
"Mako will explain everything after. Mizuka, hurry and come out! I need your help too!" H-Mako called out as a pink aura encompassed Torrie.
"Ooh, I'm getting excited," she giggled as her hair suddenly tied itself into dreadlocks with one of the locks turning pink, and her eyes glowing the same color.
"Ikuzo!"
"Yay!" M-Torrie cheered before the two ran off, the Subarashi Records staff looking very confused.
"What is all that about?" Kazu wondered in confusion.
"...We'll ask after. For now, let's catch up to them and the pirates!" Mikoto called out, leading the charge towards the chase.
Meanwhile, Lisa and Karin walked over with Mizuki and Hariko to a small pizza joint.
"Would all of you like to get something to eat?" Lisa offered.
"This place… our friend really likes pizza," Mizuki chuckled in recollection of someone.
"I guess we could use a bite to eat," Hariko added.
"Um, Lisa-sempai. Any idea what that is?" Karin asked, pointing to the pirates heading their way as they ran right past them, "Hey, is that Mako-san and Torrie-san with them?"
"...That's our friends. Our captain!"
"Yoshida! What's going on?" Mizuki called out.
"No time to talk you guys! Back to the ship!" Yoshi answered.
"Let's follow them," Lisa suggested, the others nodding before joining in the chase.
At the same time, Saki and Holly were busy chatting with Satoshi and Robin.
"So you like making a lot of stuff?" Saki inquired.
"You could say that. I like tinkering with small objects and making things work," Robin answered.
"She's really great at inventing stuff," Satoshi smiled.
"Kinda like a cool egghead," Saki smirked, snickering a bit.
"Saki-chan, please be a little nicer," Holly responded, scolding her friend.
"It's okay. I'm used to comments like that," Robin admitted.
"...Robin-san, mitte kudasai (look over there)," Satoshi pointed out, noticing the chase with Yoshi in the lead.
"Y-Yoshi-san!?" Robin gawked.
"Higuys!Can'ttalknow!Gottarun!" Yoshi said super fast as he and the others were still running from the staff of Subarashii Records and the girls.
"Hey, it's Mako and Torrie-chan!" Holly noticed.
"Let's see where the commotion leads," Robin sighed, following the chase scene as they joined up with Lisa, Karin, Mizuki, and Hariko.
"Yo-Yoshi-san… *pant, pant* I'm getting tired," Ai panted, trying to keep up, Yoshi grabbing her and helping her.
"Everything will be fine when we head back to the ship," Yoshi assured.
"I got you now!" he heard a voice shout before he turned to see H-Mako jumping straight for him, making him panic before he got tackled down to the ground.
"Yoshi-san!" Ai gasped.
"Hey, hey, easy with the treasure!"
"Who the hell do you think you are, stealing a priceless artifact that was on display!?" H-Mako snapped, ready to punch the pirate in the gut.
"Wait up… whoever you are, we don't want to damage the golden violin," Mikoto responded.
"Please just hand it over and there won't be anymore trouble," Neiji told the pirates, the others managing to catch up with them.
"How can we explain this without it resulting in violence?" Robin wondered.
"Come now, Hyouno. Get off him," Lisa told the being possessing her classmate.
H-Mako looked at back at Mako's friends before scoffing, letting Yoshi go as the pirate captain backed off as the crew got together.
"You seem like a nice guy with some really good friends. Just hand over the violin. We don't wanna hurt you, right Miko-chan?" Jess offered, turning to Mikoto.
"We don't want to. But if you don't hand over the violin, you'll leave us with no choice," Mikoto warned as she held her hand out.
"I'm sorry, but I can't just give back a treasure. I got a goal of my own to complete," Yoshi pointed out.
"You better give it back before things get ugly," H-Mako snapped, about to rush in when M-Torrie stopped her.
"Matte, matte, Hyouno! ...Do you feel that?" M-Torrie asked, confusing H-Mako before she somehow sensed it as well.
"Yeah, I feel it too… but what is it?"
"Now what is she talking about?" Saburo wondered in confusion.
"No time to explain. Min'na-domo, get ready! I sense something strange and dark coming," H-Mako called out, posing as if to be ready for an incoming threat.
The groups looked and saw fogs of dark smoke roll in before it split into bits before taking humanoid forms.
"This is new," Mikoto admitted as the groups, "Min'na, let's change."
"Crew, time to fight!" Yoshi said, pulling out his driver before pulling out what appeared to be a small key with a skull and crossbones logo as the handle.
Meanwhile, the five employees of Subarashii Records raised their left hands to reveal some wrist mounted devices along with what appeared to be tiny tuners representative of a specific instrument. They then plugged them all in as the changers played a triumphant tune on different instruments. The school girls each posed in different ways as well.
"Melody Change!" the five workers shouted.
"Tamashii Henge!" the five school girls declared.
"Henshin!" Yoshi shouted as he inserted the key into his chest-themed belt and then turned it to open the chest to reveal a computer screen.
The workers were soon surrounded by bars and sheets of music of differing colors before they glowed brightly to reveal five differently colored warriors each with a musical motif and animal representing them. Mikoto's form was Red, having a skirt and the suit itself having white gloves with scarlet edges, matching boots, the top having some G clef in the center of the suit while the sleeves had lines of musical notes, and matching pant legs. Her helmet had the motif of a hawk with black eyes, the feathers on the top "connecting" to it as if forming the shape of a note, the sides of her helmet having the G clef symbol in black. The other four were similar in various ways, the males not having skirts as Kazu's was blue and had a tiger motif, Neiji's was green with a gorilla, Saburo's yellow with a rhino, and Jess' pink with a dolphin.
The girls had elemental tornadoes surrounding them consisting of fire, water, electricity, earth, wind, and snow before appearing in new variants of their school uniforms that each had an animal design on them and armored versions of said uniforms. They all shared the same shiny silver color but with some differences. H-Mako's had red accents and a leopard's face on her chest, M-Torrie's had pink and a dolphin's face, Lisa had her hair gain a yellow streak while looking a little frizzy, and her eyes are a more bright yellow. Her battle suit is the same as the others, except she has yellow accents and the face of a hawk on her chest. Holly's three tails popped out, revealing really long hair with a green streak as well as glowing green eyes. Her suit had green accents and a rhino's head on the chest. Karin then gained a baseball cap, some white highlights in her hair that are slightly longer, and her eyes turn bright white with black outlines as her armored uniform had white accents with black outlines as well as a crane's head on the chest. Saki's hair turned into a braid over her right shoulder with a blue streak in it along with bright blue eyes. Her armor was the same as the others, except with blue accents and the face of a wolf on the chest.
Yoshi stood still as bones formed around his body before a bright light shone and the bones collided with his body to form a suit similar to Kamen Rider Wizard, except his suit color is brown, has gold patches on his chest, silver wrist and ankle braces, full length coat that somewhat acts as a cape from the belt down, and even has a pirate hat.
After the transformations, the three groups looked at each other, realizing something weird was going on.
"Huh?" Yoshi gawked.
"What the… not only pirates, but also… magical girls?" Mikoto gawked.
'A music themed hero team… and pirates?' Mako added in, clearly confused.
"Now this is a whole new level of bizarre," Yoshi admitted as he and the two female leaders looked at each other.
"Um, Yoshi-san, instead of gawking like a slack jawed idiot, how about we deal with these freakish abominations first?" Robin pointed out, referring to the black smoke demons.
"Oh right, those things. Roll call time. *clears throat* ...Kamen Rider Buccaneer! I'm set to keelhaul ya and send all of you back to Hell!" Yoshi, now known as Buccaneer, smirked as he pulled out his traditional sword that looked like a katana with a cutlass hilt.
"Don't count us out, kono kaizoku! Honoo no Tamashii, Hyouno!" H-Mako declared first, posing with the rage of a fire, said element surrounding her.
"Mizu no Tamashii, Mizuka!" M-Torrie shouted, posing with the grace of the waves, water splashing around her.
"Raiden no Tamashii, Takanari desu!" 'Lisa' declared, posing erratically like lightning and electricity surging around her.
"Donto no Tamashii, Donsai! Kenzan!" 'Holly' shouted, posing with strength like the Earth and a sumo wrestler, rocks pushed up.
"Kaze no Tamashii, Kazeru!" 'Karin' shouted, moving with the speed and grace of the wind as said element blew around her.
"Yuki no Tamashii, Yukikami!" 'Saki' declared, posing in a graceful manner with snow falling down.
"We are… Tenchi no Tamashii!" the six spirits declared as they ran into the battle, the five musical-themed heroes that were the Subarashii Records staff being confused.
"Come on, let's join in!" Mikoto responded as the five heroes ran in to take on the growing group of demons.
The five began fighting, Mikoto attacking with a series of chops and kicks.
"The Classical Musician, Red Melody!" Mikoto declared after tossing one demon.
"The Jazz Musician, Blue Melody!" Kazu added, kicking a demon back.
"The Percussion Musician, Green Melody!" Neiji shouted, bashing a couple demons in the head before throwing them back.
"The Rock Musician, Yellow Melody!" Saburo roared, giving a couple demons a good swing of his axe that looked like it was fused with an electric guitar.
"The Synth Musician, Pink Melody!" Jess announced as she flip kicked another grunt out of the way.
"Our music will reach out to everyone in the world!" all five of them shouted.
"Musical Sentai…" Red started before they all started posing.
"Melodyger!" the five declared as they all posed during the fight.
"...Melodyger?" Buccaneer questioned, confused by sight of these new heroes, "That's really what you guys call yourselves?"
"Oh, you're one to talk Kamen Rider Buccaneer," Blue responded, axe kicking one demon away.
"Let's focus on these guys first," Red ordered, giving a roundhouse kick to another grunt.
"Crew, feel free to jump on in!" Buccaneer said, his friends nodding before rushing in as Satoshi pulled out a staff and twirled it before slamming down on some of the demons while Robin armed herself with gauntlets and boots.
Jack rushed in, helping Blue Melody by firing a pistol at some demons before swapping out for a katana and slicing another one. Ai and Mitsuru jumped in to help Y-Saki and D-Holly, Ai dodging most attacks before using picking up a trash can lid to block a demon grunts attack. Mitsuru happened to bring out a whip before using it to grab one demon by the neck, Y-Saki giggling a little before she grabbed the grunt's head.
"Ice Time," Y-Saki responded with a smirk as she freezed the grunt's head, Mitsuru pulling her whip and it knocked the head off the grunt, sending it flying to the ground.
Hariko and Mizuki had rushed in, giving a double kick to help Yellow Melody, Hariko quickly pulling out some knives.
"It's useless to think you demon freaks can defeat us!" he scoffed before tossing the knives, making many of them turn to dust.
While that was going on, Red pulled out what looked like a red sword with aspects of a flute and a zigzag motion in the center. She rushed in and started slashing at all the grunts before some demons were about to jump her.
"Higan!" H-Mako shouted, launching a barrage of fire pellets from her index fingers at the demons, causing them to burst into flames and turn into dust.
"Thanks," Red replied with a thumbs up.
"Yea, no problem."
However, just as some more demons were about to attack them, Buccaneer rushed in, slashing them in rapid succession before turning to them and smirking under his helmet.
"What… no thank you for me?" Buccaneer asked with a shrug.
"You still stole the violin, and you need to return that regardless of what happens," Red told him.
'Give us some time before we get all friendly with each other,' Mako responded, H-Mako firing more fire pellets which looked like they were aiming at Buccaneer, but they past him and hit more demon grunts behind him.
"Whew! That was close," Buccaneer sighed with relief as the demons started to surround our heroes.
The black demons were about to strike before stopping, as if sensing something. They then split apart in separate lines before kneeling as if waiting for their king.
"Huh?" Buccaneer replied, confused.
"Looks like we're about to see their leader," Red figured.
"Yoshi-san, I'm scared," Ai whimpered.
"Stay on your guard, girls," H-Mako instructed.
(Insert Song: Land of the Dead by Voltaire)
As violins began playing, another black fog rolled in as the figure from before appeared on a rising throne that was lifted by larger demon grunts. The figure in question stood pretty tall, wore a black cloak with miniature spikes on his knuckles and curled metal tips on his boots.
"The Minotaur's my butler, the Cyclops my valet. A Centaur draws my chariot that takes me down the way," the figure started singing as the bruisers started walking with the throne over his shoulders, "Through a river made of fire, to a street that's paved in bones. I got a dozen zombie skeletons to walk me to my throne. *jumps off the throne and lands with a split on the ground* In the Land of the Dead~, heck boy, ain't it grand? I'm the overlord of the underworld, cause I hold Horror's Hand. In the Land of the Dead~, I'm darkside royalty. I'm far renowned in the underground and you can't take that from me."
As he sang, he starts to dance a bit, kicking his legs back and swinging his arms while also acting like he was twirling a cane.
"Whoa~!"
"Whoa~!" the bruisers sang in the background.
"Whoa~!"
"Whoa~!"
"Whoa~!"
"Whoa~!"
All of a sudden, five demons started saying 'Ow' one after the other, confusing him for a moment before he continued dancing.
"...The hell am I watching right now?" Buccaneer questioned, cartoonish looking sweat drops coming from not just his head, but those of the other heroes, too.
"Just… WTF, man?" Yellow groaned.
"Cerberus my lap dog is loyal as can be. My bed is made of skulls, I'm in the lap of luxury. I've got a Dragon's Blood jacuzzi, the Gorgons think it's cool. And a seven-headed Hydra livin' in my swimming pool!" the figure sang again as he rapidly tapped his feet and shuffled a bit while looking like he was twirling an imaginary cane and hat, "In the Land of the Dead~, heck boy, ain't it grand? I'm the overlord of the underworld, cause I hold Horror's Hand. In the Land of the Dead~, I'm darkside royalty. I'm far renowned in the underground, and you can't. Take. That. Away~ from~ me~! No you can't take that from me!"
As the trumpets sounded he started spinning before running and sliding on his knees, ending the bit by tipping his imaginary hat.
(End Insert Song)
"Well… I'm officially weirded out right now," Red admitted as the others nodded in agreement.
"Who are you, anyways?" Y-Saki inquired as the figure got up and cleared his throat.
"Ore no performance wa cool, darou (My performance was cool, wasn't it)?" the figure smiled as he dusted himself off, "Excuse me, got caught up in the moment. *clears throat* Ore no nawa Daikuu, residential demon of the farthest reaches of the underworld."
"You're not an Akuma no Metal?" Red asked.
"Aku-what now?" Jack responded in confusion.
"No, I don't associate myself with those rock demons. I'm much more of a solo act myself. In fact… one of you has something that I need," Daikuu pointed out, pointing his finger at the golden violin held by Buccaneer.
"Nah-ah, I'm not giving away this treasure. I took this first, fair and square," he responded, gripping it tightly.
"Technically, you stole it," Pink pointed out.
"Borrowed. I'm borrowing it."
"I'm not requesting or asking permission," Daikuu informed with a growl, giving off a menacing aura.
"You know, he could really use that 'Menacing' kanji strolling in front of him," Buccaneer noted to the audience, himself, and the other heroes.
"Now's not the time to joke, pirate," Red snapped, raising her sword up in defense.
"If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself," Daikuu sighed before he actually disappeared.
"What the!? Blue gawked in response.
"He's gone!" Mitsuru stated in shock.
"But where?!" Hariko responded as they all looked around until Daikuu appeared again, kneeing Hariko in the gut, making him keel over and spit.
"Hariko!" Buccaneer gasped as Daikuu disappeared again.
"Watch out for him!" Red warned as they were all on their guard.
"You can't see me. I move near the speed of light when I disappear," they heard Daikuu brag and cackle, his voice sounding like it was coming from everywhere.
He suddenly appeared again behind D-Holly and gave her a kick to back, knocking her down.
"Why you!" K-Karin shouted, trying to punch Daikuu, but he disappeared again.
He then reappeared in front of Red, but the Melodyger leader went for a swing of the sword as Daikuu dodged it. She kept dodging all her slashes before back handing the Flute Slasher away. Daikuu scoffed before kicking her away. The other Melodygers tried attacking, but he avoided all their moves and punched Blue and Green before split kicking Yellow and Pink away.
"You look really tough for a goofy devil," Buccaneer admitted as he pulled out his sword, "But I will not let you get this violin!"
Buccaneer then tried to fire a gun at Daikuu, but he avoided all the bullets before teleporting right in front of the Rider. They then traded melee blows before Daikuu jabbed his fingers into Buccaneer's arms, paralyzing them before he took the violin.
"Te-Teme!"
"Kaishite kono akuma yaro (Give that back, you demon bastard)!" H-Mako roared, as she and her team rushed in, each trying to get the instrument back, but he punched and kicked most of them back.
"Hehehehe, I got what I was looking for," Daikuu chuckled, "I heard that if you play this, fortune or chaos could come. Let's see what happens when I use this against you."
He smirked, pulling out the bow and playing a tune that sounded rather frantic and chaotic, causing dark smoke to surround the leaders of the groups before they moved right in front of them. The smoke then dissipated, revealing…
"Nanda… kore wa?" Buccaneer gasped.
"How… what in the…?" H-Mako added, equally shocked.
"They look like…" Red started in realization.
'They look like us!' Mako gasped as the three figures took shape.
Like they saw, they looked exactly like our three leaders. Mikoto's double was wearing black and grey before she opened her eyes to reveal the whites of her eyes were black with the iris being red. Mako's double was wearing the black sailor uniform with a grey bowtie, eyes being similar to the fake Mikoto's except for the red iris only and no pupil. Finally, Yoshi's double wore an all black variant of his attire, the tattoos being blood red and the colors of his eyes being reversed, the whites being pitch black while the iris was white with no pupils.
"Behold… your face to face with your mirrors," Daikuu smirked.
"Two Yoshi-san's?" Ai gasped.
"Wh-What is the meaning of this? Who are you?" Red demanded to know, clearly confused.
"Isn't it obvious…? I'm you," the fake Mikoto smirked, her voice sounding warped and a bit darker, "Or rather… you are me."
"Explain who you really are!"
"I'll make it simple. I'm the you that says you don't need any friends. I'm the you that always prefers to be the lone wolf. I'm you without the emotional baggage dragging me back."
"You're just some pale imitation of the real Mikoto-san!" Green snapped in response.
"You're half right and half wrong, though. I'm real in every way."
"The same goes for me," the fake Mako added, her voice sounding like H-Mako's, but warped to sound like a mix of that and Mako's own voice, "I'm the Mako that never needed friends and always looked out for herself."
"Teme, thinking you can mock us," H-Mako growled.
'But… I'm not like that anymore! I've learned the importance of friendship and protect my friends!' Mako retaliated.
"Friends? Seriously? *laughs* Who needs such stupid things like that?" the fake Mako laughed off.
"We're all your dark sides. That side of you that you never talk about in public," the fake Yoshi smirked, his voice sounding a little higher than the real Yoshi's, "We don't consider ourselves tied to the 'values' that you hold dear. You hold yourselves back far too much, while we are essentially limitless in what we can do."
"I know myself far better than anyone, and I know that you're not me," Buccaneer assured as he walked right up to the fake, staring him down, "I would never do anything you might think of doing.
The fake Yoshi just chuckled before flat out laughing, "Don't kid yourself, kono boge (you dumbass)!" he responded, punching the Rider in the gut before pummeling him down to the ground.
"Yoshi-san/Yoshi/Yoshida/Yoshida-kun!" the pirates gasped as their captain was soon tossed aside back to them.
"I'm not losing to a shell of what I used to be!" Red exclaimed, balling her fist before taking the charge in and trying to slash at her fake.
"Amai, amai!" the fake Mikoto scoffed, kicking her in the head before managing to send her flying to the other Melodygers, who caught her.
"Mikoto! Daijoubu?" Yellow responded.
"Mikoto-san!" Green gawked with concern.
"I can't believe it… where did this strength come from?" Red panted, trying to regain herself.
Soon, H-Mako ran in trying to take her best shot at her fake, but said fake dodged with ease before absorbing some of the flames herself and fire it straight back at her.
"Yamai!" H-Mako gawked, rolling out of the way in time to dodge the flames.
"My flames are stronger than yours," the fake Mako scoffed, "And I don't need no stinkin' ghost possessing me to do it."
"Nandatte!?"
"I will not allow a fake to insult us any further!" Y-Saki snapped as she sent out a flurry of ice and snow, K-Karin sending gusts of wind, and T-Lisa sending out lightning to create a storm to add to the intensity of the attack.
"Muda yo (Useless)," the fake Mako scoffed, increasing her power to melt the ice and send a fire tornado at the three spirits.
"Min'na-dono!" D-Holly shouted in shock as the others ran to their fallen Tamashii.
"Hahahahahahaha! Do you see the powers of your dark sides?! Huh!?" Daikuu laughed insanely, "Thank you for bringing me this golden violin! With it, I can use it to bring my master back from the pits!"
With that, Daikuu laughed some more as he and the dark leaders of the teams made their leave, them and the demons disappearing in a fog of black smoke.
"K… Kuso~," Buccaneer grunted as the heroes demorphed back into their civilian forms.
"...If you didn't steal the violin, none of… THAT would've happened!" Mikoto snapped, slapping Yoshi across the face.
"...I may have deserved that," Yoshi admitted as he slowly got up, "Is it too late to say that I was going to bring it back?"
"YES!"
"Yoshi-kun, Mikoto-san, please don't fight," Mako begged, getting in between them and holding him apart, "What you did wasn't right, Yoshi-kun, but we shouldn't be blaming anyone for our current predicament."
"But, if he didn't steal the violin, then those demon freaks wouldn't have gotten their hands on it!" Saburo reminded the schoolgirl, Neiji nodding along with him.
"We should put all that aside if we're going to beat this guy. Who's with us?"
"...I can put it behind me," Yoshi nodded.
"...I don't know. Can I trust you after this all happened?" Mikoto inquired.
"You can trust me. I promise that when all this is over, I'm giving you that golden violin back."
"...You'd better," Mikoto responded, the two shaking hands as Mako put hers on top of theirs.
"Yay, we're all working together!" Torrie cheered as the teams walked back to the shop.
"Getting along with this many people is going to be more difficult than I thought," Yoshi said to the audience.
TB: Wow. Just… wow.
KKD: Crazy stuff.
TB: Everything from Yoshi stealing the golden violin, to the three teams of heroes fighting demons for the first time, the introduction of our antagonist, Daikuu, and the leaders' darker versions. It's just all over the place.
KKD: I'll say it is. Hopefully it'll come together later.
TB: Yes, I'm happy that we managed to finish Part 1 of our big Super Hero Taisen special.
KKD: Thank goodness, too. Got typing projects left and right today. But now let's see… do we mention favs now or later?
TB: We could do favs for each part if you're okay with that?
KKD: Fair enough. What's your fav so far?
TB: The three groups meeting each other leading to their first battle together.
KKD: Yea, that was my favorite part, too.
TB: With the way this story's going, even I don't know what'll happen next.
KKD: Well, only one way to find out.
TB: Until the next part, this has been the Lone Rider, TokuBrony…
KKD: And I'm the Crossover King, KKD Silver. *salutes* Jaa ne.
TB: SEIYAA!
