Here Comes The Red King!
Chapter 01:
The Summoning Of The Fanged Hero
Hiroji Kaneko was your average Japanese kid. He was a big fan of Super Sentai, and when he saw the first episode of the new season, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, he had to buy the merchandise. He had bought the Gabrevolver, the four Beast Batteries, and the Gabutyra action figure.
"Man, I can't to go to a convention with these." Hiroji said with a smile on his face. Hiroji was wearing a red hoodie with a gray shirt and a pair of tight blue jeans. He ran a hand through his shoulder length brown hair as he walked back to his house.
My slave, who lives somewhere in the universe! Hiroji looked around, looking for the source of the voice but found that no one else seemed to be reacting to it.
"Am I the only one who heard that just now?" Hiroji said.
Oh, sacred, beautiful, and strong familiar spirit!
"There it is again. Am I going insane?" Hiroji said, frantically looking for the source of the voice. Then he saw something weird. In the middle of the sidewalk in front of him, he saw a green portal of some sort.
I desire and here I plead from my heart! Hiroji walked cautiously towards the portal. When Hiroji touched to portal he was suddenly sucked into it.
Answer to my guidance! Suddenly Hiroji was in a black void and falling fast. Suddenly a bright light came from his bag and the Gabutyra figure flew away.
"What is happening!?" Hiroji yelled as he fell from the sky. He frantically grabbed the Gaburevolver and four beast batteries before they could escape as well. He slid the Gaburevolver, which felt a lot heavier than he remembered, into his pocket. Suddenly he saw a light and he was approaching it rapidly.
The explosion echoed across the field. A girl with pink hair stood mortified at the large dust cloud.
"As expected of you, Louise." a tan girl with long red hair said. Most of the other people there broke into uncontrollable fits of laughter. The pink haired girl, Louise, flushed a bright red at her apparent failure. Suddenly Hiroji let out a groan of pain from the fall. The dust cloud parted to reveal Hiroji lying on his back with the four Beast Batteries strewn around him. Upon seeing this, the other students broke into more laughing.
"That's what you would expect from the Zero!" Another student mocked. Louise turned a even brighter red and turned to a balding, middle aged man.
"Mr. Colbert! There must be a mistake, let me redo the ritual!" Louise pleaded.
"I'm sorry Louise, but the summoning ritual is sacred. There are no redoes, please continue with the ceremony.
"What are they saying?" Hiroji said as he looked at the people only a few meters from him. "Is it french?" Suddenly the pink haired girl after what seemed like a small argument with a older man, began walking towards him.
"Be grateful commoner, this would never happen to some like you." Louise said as she walked towards Hiroji.
"Wait, what are you going to do?" Hiroji asked, while backing up across the field. When she finally was right in front of him, she squatted down and and leaned in and kissed him. After a second she recoiled away from him. Suddenly Hiroji felt a burning sensation on his right hand. He raised his right hand into view of his face and saw runes glowing on his hand.
"What did you do to me?" Hiroji asked in terror. Then he saw the Beast Batteries on the ground and quickly picked them up.
"What language does this commoner speak? I have never heard it before." Louise said as she yanked Hiroji to his feat.
"Who are you? Where am I? What just happened?" Hiroji asked. Louise pulled out her wand.
"Jeez, you're annoying. I'll just cast a silence spell." Louise said as she flicked her wand. Another explosion filled the courtyard.
"Oh Louise, when will you ever learn?" the red haired girl mocked. Louise turned angrily to the red haired girl.
"Shut up Kirche. I didn't ask for your opinion." Louise snapped. Hiroji sat in a daze but suddenly stood up.
"Hey, I can understand you now." Hiroji said.
"What?! That was supposed to be a silencing spell." Louise said as she almost fell on the floor. Kirche almost fell down laughing, but steadied herself. "Come on familiar. Let head back." Louise said as she grabbed Hiroji's collar.
"Back? Where?" Hiroji asked.
"To the Magic Academy of course. Are you stupid?" Louise snapped.
"I don't even know where I am!" Hiroji said. Louise ignored him and kept walking. Louise dragged Hiroji into a large castle like structure. Louise led Hiroji into a large room.
"This is where I live, familiar. You will also sleep in this room." Louise said as she pointed to a pile of straw. Hiroji sighed and sat down on the hay stack. Hiroji looked down at his feet and almost jumped back when he saw Louise stripping in front of him.
"Wha..What are you doing?" Hiroji asked in shock.
"I'm going to bed, have my clothes washed before morning." Louise said as she threw her clothes at him. Hiroji let out a sigh, but he decided talking back was not a good idea. He stood up and walked out to find a place to wash her clothes.
He eventually found a fountain and sat down. He was about to start washing clothes when the Gaburevolver fell out of his pocket.
"I had totally forgotten about you." Hiroji said as he picked up the Gaburevolver. "Wow, you're a lot heavier than I remember... could it be that you're real now?" Hiroji quickly stood up and pulled out the #1 Beast Battery. Hiroji opened up the 'mouth' of the Gaburevolver and clicked the button on the Battery. "Brave on!" Hiroji shouted as the picture inside the battery changed to show a red Tyrannosaurus Rex. Hiroji inserted the Battery into the bottom slot of the Gaburevolver and closed the 'mouth'.
Chompachomp! Gabutyra! The Gaburevolver called out.
"Kyoryu Change!" Hiroji shouted. He then spun the cylinder on the Gaburevolver, creating what looked like sparks. Suddenly upbeat samba music began playing. Hiroji was able to mimic the dance perfectly. "Fire!" Hiroji pulled the trigger on the Gaburevolver and to his glee a translucent head of Gabutyra flew out of the gun and circled around him. His body except for his head began to glow and the Gabutyra head stopped behind him. Then it looked like it was about to bite down upon him, but instead it disappeared in a bright flash of light. When the flash dissipated, Hiroji was now KyoryuRed! Hroji was about to deactivate the transformation, when he heard someone yelling,
"Monsters!" came the shrill cry of one of the female students. Hiroji began running towards the commotion and saw a girl with long brown hair being chase by a large group of Zormina.
"I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, but what they hell is the Devoss Army doing here?!" KyoryuRed exclaimed before firing his gun into the crowd of Zorminas. A few other students, including Kirche and Tabitha were fighting off the Zorminas with some success.
"No matter how many of these things we kill, there always two more in its place. KyoryuRed spun the cylinder on the Gaburevolver again.
Vamola! Suddenly a wave of energy destroyed a large group of the Zorminas.
"Who's that?" Kirche asked as she saw KyoryuRed. "He certainly has a interesting style." KyoryuRed ran towards the closest Zormina and punched it in the gut, causing it to double over. KyoryuRed shot the Zormina in the head while dodging a punch from another. KyoryuRed opened the 'mouth' of the Gaburevolver and inserted a Brave Battery into the top slot.
Chompachomp! Gabutyra! Gabutyra! The Gaburevoler called out.
"What's he doing now?" Kirche asked Tabitha. Tabitha only shook her head. KyoryuRed once again spun the cylinder on the Gaburevolver.
Vamola Mucho! The GabuRevolver announced as KyoryuRed fired a powered shot, destroying the rest of the Zorminas. Kirche and Tabitha walked up to KyoryuRed.
"I want some answers." Kirche said. KyoryuRed just turned away from the two girls and walked away. Unfortunately Tabitha levitated him and brought him back in front of them. "Nice try cool guy, but you can't escape us that easily.
"I might as well." KyoryuRed said. "I am KyoryuRed, The Fanged Hero, and the leader of the Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger."
"What is that?" Kirche asked. KyoryuRed just fired a shot into the ground causing a dust to spray everywhere. Hiroji took this time to escape. Hiroji ran out of sight and pulled the Beast Battery out of the top and bottom slots of the Gaburevolver, before placing it in his pocket again. Kirche and Tabitha ran past the wall but didn't even bother to acknowledge him. Hiroji sighed and walked back to Louise's dirty laundry.
Louise woke up in the morning to see Hiroji asleep on the hay pile and her clothes folded on the table. She groggily got up and got dressed. After she finished getting dressed she sent a swift kick into Hiroji's side.
"Time to get up familiar." Louise said. Hiroji slowly opened his eyes and stretched. Hiroji slowly got to his feet and followed Louise out into a courtyard. "There's no classes for second years today because we are supposed to get to know each other." Louise said. "I have no intention of getting to know you so you may walk around, but be back here before lunchtime okay?"
"Fine." Hiroji said. "By the way, did you hear of the attack last night?"
"Yes, some sort of masked hero calling himself KyoruoRed or something showed up." Louise said. Hiroji began to walk away. In one of the hallways, Hiroji almost fell over when he saw the Kyoryuger symbol etched on the stone of the hallway. Hiroji pulled out the Gaburevolver and stood on the symbol. In a flash of light he was now at the Spirit Shrine. Hiroji looked around the shrine with awe.
"This is amazing." Hiroji gawked. Then Hiroji noticed the Beast Batteries and Gaburevolvers for the other members of the Kyoryugers. "So I need to assemble a team huh." Hiroji decided he did not want to keep Louise waiting so he decided to head back to the agreed meeting spot. When Hiroji reached the courtyard, he didn't see Louise, but he saw Kirche instead.
"So, you're Louise The Zero's familiar hmm?" Kirche asked while checking Hiroji out.
"So what?" Hiroji asked. Kirche looked offended by his lack of respect.
"You should show some respect to those of a higher rank than you plebeian." Kirche said. She didn't seem angry, just amused. "I like your spunk kid, but it will get you beheaded." Kirche warned.
"Point noted." Hiroji said as he began to walk away from Kirche. Kirche just smiled and walked in the opposite direction. Hiroji continued walking in deep thought until he bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry." The girl said. The girl was obviously a servant. Hiroji could tell from the maid outfit she wore.
"It's fine, I'm not a noble." Hiroji said as he helped the girl back up.
"Oh, so you're Miss Louise's familiar." the girl said.
"I guess word travels fast. My name is Hiroji Kaneko." Hiroji said as he smiled at the girl.
"I'm Seista, now if you would excuse me, I need to help out with passing out lunch." The girl said as she began to walk away.
"Let me help you. It's the least I can do." Hiroji said as he began to follow her.
"Thanks." Siesta said simply. Hiroji followed Siesta into the kitchen and helped her load slices of cake onto a cart. Hiroji followed Siesta into the dining hall and help pass out the cake. Hiroji's attention was caught by a couple arguing.
"My dear Montermercy, I would never cheat on you." the boy said. The boy had short blonde hair and was holding the girl's hand.
"Then tell me where you were Guiche." the girl, Montermercy asked. Guiche stiffened for a moment.
"I was in my room all night." Guiche said. Hiroji knew it was lie because while walking out to wash Louise's clothes he had seen him with another girl, the same one who had been running from the Zorminas. Hiroji decided to ignore the couple and continue to help Siesta. Hiroji turned and saw the girl Guiche had been with last night walking towards him.
"Have you seen Sir Guiche?" The girl asked.
"He's right over there." Hiroji said as he pointed at Guiche. The girl silently thanked him and rushed over to Guiche.
"Sir Guiche!" She called out. Guiche went pale as he heard the girl named Katie approach. "I brought what you wanted to try."
"Oh, Katie." Guiche said trying to act calm. A small crowd gathered around the scene.
"I knew it you were cheating on me!" Montermercy yelled as she slapped Guiche on the face and stormed away.
"You... you lied to me!" Katie cried as she slapped Guiche in the face as well. The crowd burst into small fits of laughter at Guiche's expense. Guiche turned to Hiroji with a fury in his eyes.
"You! You did this!" Guiche said, angered that a plebeian would embarrass him.
"So, what if I did? You had it coming." Hiroji said. The crowd 'oohed' at Hiroji's comment.
"I challenge you to a duel!" Guiche said. Everyone fell silent.
"I accept." Hiroji said. "When and where will it take place?"
"Vestari Court in thirty minutes." Guiche said as he walked away. Suddenly Hiroji heard someone running up behind him. Hiroji turned around to see a furious Louise charging him.
"You idiot!" Louise yelled. "You better go and apologize to Guiche before he kills you."
"No." Hiroji said. "I will not back down to a noble who isn't a true noble." Hiroji said defiantly.
"What do you mean a true noble?" Louise asked.
"Not one person that I have met who claims to be a noble follows 'Noblesse Oblige', the honorable obligation of those with high rank. One with a high rank must use their wealth and status to help others and not spend their time on idle pursuits." Hiroji said.
"My, my, quite a interesting philosophy you have there." Kirche said as she walked up to them. "I told you that you should respect people or you would get killed. I didn't know you wanted to die so quickly." Hiroji ignored Kirchie and walked over to one other the other students.
"Where is Vestari Court?" Hiroji asked the student.
"It's the east courtyard." The student said as he began to walk towards Vestari Court. Hiroji decided to follow the student there.
A group formed a circle in the middle of Vestari Court. Guiche stood in the center of the circle waiting for Hiroji to appear. It wasn't long before Hiroji also stood in the circle.
"I must commend you for not running away." Guiche said as he looked at Hiroji.
"I'll never back down to a hypocrite." Hiroji said. Guiche fumed at the accusation but calmed down.
"I see you have a death wish then." Guiche said as he pulled out a artificial rose from his pocket, flinging a rose petal on the ground. The rose petal suddenly turned into a golem. "My name is Guiche Gramon, also known as Guiche The Bronze." Hiroji smirked as he took a step towards Guiche's Valkyrie.
"I guess I should introduce myself, I am Hiroji Kaneko, but you can call me The Red King!" Hiroji said, putting his hand into his pocket and around the hilt of the Gaburevolver. The Valkyrie charged at Hiroji at incredible speeds punching him in the gut.
"You're all talk." Guiche sneered. Hiroji regained his balance and pulled out the Gaburevolver and shot the Valkyries head. "I guess I misjudged you." Kirche almost fell on the floor when she saw the gun.
"You're kidding me." Kirche said. Hiroji took out a Beast Battery.
"It's about to get wild... so stop me if you can!" Hiroji yelled. "Brave In!" Hiroji pressed the button on the Beast Battery and opened up the 'mouth' of the Gaburevolver, and inserted the Beast Battery. Guiche looked on with interest at what Hiroji was doing.
"Do you think you gun and little cylinders would save you." Guiche said as he summoned three Valkyries. Hiroji closed the mouth of the Gaburevolver.
Chompachomp! Gabutyra! The Gaburevolver announced. Everyone jumped back in surprise.
"Kyoryu change!" Hiroji yelled as he spun the cylinder. The familiar samba music of his transformation started and he began the dance. "Fire!" Hiroji yelled as he pointed the gun at one of the charging Valkyries. A image of Gabutyra's head blasted through the Valkyrie, destroying it. The head slowly circled around Hiroji and with a flash of light, Hiroji was now KyoryuRed.
"What!" Guiche said as he impersonated a gagging fish. KyoryuRed dashed at the next Valkyrie and sent his fist through it head, causing it to fall into pieces. KyoryuRed pulled out his Gaburevolver and spun the cylinder again.
Vamola! The Gaburevolver called out as a red beam of energy entered the final Valkyries chest, destroying it. KyoryuRed and at Guiche and pointed his gun at his head.
"What now Guiche?" KyoryuRed asked. Guiche was quivering as he looked down the barrel of Gaburevolver.
"You win, please don't kill me." Guiche begged. Hiroji smirked under his helmet and hit Guiche over the head with the but of the gun. Hiroji pulled out the Beast Battery and deactivated his transformation. Hiroji looked over at Louise who was staring agape at him. Hiroji smiled, put his gun back in his pocket and walked over to Louise.
"How did I do?" Hiroji asked. Louise couldn't find a answer.
