As said in the description, to commemorate the release of the Artisan version of the Dekaranger SP License and the Master License, I've decided to write this story, featuring my favourite Super Sentai character, Doggie Kruger. This is my first fanfic, so please feel free to suggest any ideas to make anything better. Now with about further ado, enjoy the story!
'Ahh, it's so boring...' I uttered to myself as I walked through the city. I had eaten my lunch a few minutes ago and decided to roam around for a bit. Sighing to myself, I looked around, searching for anything that would catch my mind.
Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself, how silly of me. My name is Ian. I may seem like an ordinary guy, but in actual fact, I have superpowers. According to my parents, bless their souls in heaven, I was born with them. Super speed, Super strength, flight, great knowledge and intelligence, you name it. It was as if God himself had chosen me as the bearer of these powers. Of course, throughout my life I have been using these powers for good, and obviously, combating evil, throughout the universe. For my various good deeds that I did I was nicknamed, "Tengoku no Kishi", which means the "Knight from Heaven" in English. I had defended my home planet Earth and countless planets and saved them from extinction many times, earning me respect, popularity and authority everywhere I go. Not that I care much, anyways. I had always wanted to save and help those truly in need, and nothing more.
But even with all of this fame and wealth that I had earned, and doing what I always wanted, I soon became bored of not having anything to do other than saving the world and fighting crime. Thanks to me, the crime rate had dropped significantly, with criminals not even daring to even do anything remotely threatening to earth, fearing that they would face me in battle. Although, it was nice to see the world in a much more peaceful state thanks to the low crime rate. Now enough of the introduction, back to the story.
As I was searching for something, well, anything that could entertain me for the day, I came across a electronics store that had some TVs on display. A reporter was on the screen, behind her was a monitor that displayed the news.
'Legendary hero Ian does it again, saving the city from a rampaging Kaijuuki, which is now in the hand of the S.P.D. We will keep you posted on any new updates.'
Kaijuuki? If I remember, that was the name of those big robot creatures I have been fighting recently, sometimes piloted by 'Alienizers', aliens who commit various crimes on Earth and other planets. And the S.P.D, if I'm correct, stands for "Special Police Dekaranger", an interplanetary law enforcement organisation. A select few can transform into the "Dekarangers", special members who combat the Alienizers and Kaijuuki. I've assisted them every now and then.
Hah, it was always so interesting helping them out, it almost felt as if I were in a Tokusatsu TV series, defeating big monsters and saving the day, I thought, reminiscing
the past times I helped the S.P.D. Just then, an idea popped into my mind. Since I have nothing interesting to do at the moment, I might as well help out the S.P.D. Plus, since my younger days, I had always wanted to join them and fight crime alongside them, but never having the time since I was too busy saving the world. Smiling in satisfaction, I gave myself a mental high-five as I made my way back home.
3 days later
"So this is the S.P.D...", I thought. Here I was, standing outside the doors to the S.P.D building for the Earth Branch, also known as the Dekabase. Being an interplanetary law enforcement organisation, there are many bases of operation stationed on various planets throughout the universe, the Earth's Dekabase being just one of them.
Remembering why I came here in the first place, I made my way through the doors. The inside was really impressive, for an interplanetary organisation. Everything looked very high tech and futuristic. I had never seen anything like it before. I noticed that there are a lot of aliens working here too. No surprise there, since humans, aliens and animal-like creatures have been coexisting for quite some time now. Soon, I overheard whispers and murmurs from not too far from me as I walked around.
"Hey that's Ian."
"The legendary hero? No way!"
"What's he doing here?"
"Is he joining the S.P.D?"
"If that were true, that would be BIG NEWS!!"
Paying no mind, I asked for directions and soon ended at the entrance to the DekaRoom, as they call it, the main control room of the Dekabase where the Commander and Dekarangers of the Earth Branch gather for Mission briefeings and other related activities. But before I took another step the doors to the DekaRoom opened, revealing a brown-haired woman with a feather like object on the sides of her face. The woman introduced herself as Shiratori Swan, the Earth Branch Commander's assistant and person in charge of the maintainence of the special vehicles and weapons of the Dekabase.
"Is there something I can do for you, Ian-kun?" Swan-san asked me wih a smile. Returning the smile, I asked her about meeting the Commander so I can help out the S.P.D.
"Ah, Doggie? He is out on a Mission with the others, he should be on his way back now, I will let him know you are here.", Swan-san replied.
Thanking Swan-san, I told her that I would go to the field just outside of the Dekabase and wait there. As I made my way out, I started thinking of the name Swan-san mentioned.
Doggie? I'm pretty sure I heard that name before. Wait a minute...Could it be Doggie Kruger? THE famous Doggie Kruger? I have heard so much about him, I've read articles, case files, and heard rumours about him, but I've never seen what he looked like before. It'd be awesome if it were true, I have always looked up to him when I was little, i would love to meet my childhood hero.. that would be awesome!
10 minutes later
I was at the field outside of the Dekabase, silently waiting for the Commander to arrive. Swan-san said that he would arrive soon with the 'others', whom I assume would be the Dekarangers of the Earth Branch. I wonder what the Commander would look like in person, I wondered, crossing my arms. No sooner had I started thinking about it than I heard footsteps from not too far away. I could hear voices coming from the same direction, too.
"Ah, there he is! I see him, Senpai!"
"You're right! It will be so cool to have Ian fight alongside us! Right, partner?"
"Yes, That would be Perfect. And don't call me partner!"
"Well, whatever reason he has for helping us, fighting Alienizers and Kaijuuki is going to be a lot easier."
"I agree, we can use all the help we can get."
"I can't wait to meet him! It's going to be so much fun!"
They're here, I thought as the sound of the footsteps got closer and closer towards my direction. Realising I was facing the other direction, I turned around to greet them.
"Hey, hows it go—"
Upon turning around, I came face to face with the person whom I assumed to be the Commander. My body instantly froze at the sight as my mind went blank for a moment. Those red eyes, that blue and white fur colour separated by the black lines starting from the nose, his pointy ears. A nose so cute I could just poke it right then and there, and...
His beautiful, handsome dog-like face. The moment I laid my eyes on him, my heart was stolen. It was as if a jolt of electricity ran through my body. A warm feeling inside my body. Ah, this feeling...
I... had fallen in love.
I was too mesmerised by the "Commander", not noticing that he had extended a hand as he looked at me with a smile. "A pleasure to meet the legendary hero, Ian. I'm Doggie Kruger, Commander of the S.P.D Earth Branch." he said, snapping me back to reality.
Did he just say... IT WAS him after all! My childhood hero, was the Commander of the S.P.D Earth Branch, and he's standing right in front of me! Plus, he's really handsome too! I can't believe it!!! It's a dream come true!
I began to feel my face get hot as I shook Doggie's hand, attempting to answer.
"I-i... it's a pleasure to meet you t-t-too! You've always been my childhood h-hero, I've been looking up to you since I was a kid!" I managed to say. "A-and, may I ask you a question?" I added.
"Go on, what is it that you want to ask me?"
"Well, the thing is, w-well, I know it's a bit sudden, but... c-c-can I call you..." I continued, twiddling my fingers together, looking away.
"Hm? Call me what?"
"...Can I call you 'Doggie-chan'?" I finally managed to say.
Doggie's eyes widened in shock, taken aback at my request, but relaxed and smiled.
"Of course, you can call me anything you'd like, Ian. I don't mind." Doggie replied. Then he stepped aside, revealing six people who were dressed in Dekaranger attireHe introduced them. There names were Ban, Hoji, Sen, Jasmine, Umeko and Tetsu. Together they make up the Dekarangers of the Earth Branch.
"It's nice to meet you, Ian!" they said enthusiastically.
"Same here. Nice to meet you all!" I answered with equal enthusiasm.
"Now, that's enough for introductions, let's all get back to the DekaRoom." Doggie said.
"Roger!" The six of them shouted in unison, as we made our way to the Dekabase.
Later in the DekaRoom, I was slowly getting to know everybody, sharing real life stories with one another. Meanwhile Doggie had gone somewhere else for the time being. As I finished telling a story, Ban suddenly spoke up.
"Say, Ian, I've been wondering since just now, why is your face red? And why have you been looking at Boss most of the time?" he asked.
At that, my body instantly froze once more. Crap, I thought. If they realise I am in love with Doggie, things will get really bad. I'll never hear the end of it. I have to play it cool, yea, I just need to act natural and everything will be fine.
Everything will be just fine.
"What?" was all I managed to say.
"I said, why is your face red? And why have you been looking at Boss for most of the time?"
"Yeah, now that I think of it, why was your face so red? Did you drink beer before coming here?" added Hoji.
As if I would drink beer before coming to a police station, of all places.
"Come on, tell us, Ian, I want to know!" said a curious Umeko cheerfully.
Crap, this is getting a bit out of hand...Quick, I gotta think of something, an excuse that can get me out of this situation! Come on... think! Think... Ah, that's it!
With a straight face, I answered.
"Doggie-chan has been my childhood hero. When I wa young, I would read articles, and case files, and heard rumours here and there about him. To be able to meet my idol after so many years, and to be interacting with him, is a dream come true."
This was true. I had looked up to Doggie ever since I first learned about him. The legends about him, his great achievements during his time in the S.P.D so far, and much more.
"Is that so... I don't know why, but I don't think that's the only reason you've been like that. There's something else. Sen-chan, what do you think?" Ban asked Sen.
"Hmmm" was all Sen could say as he proceeded to do a headstand at a nearby wall, staying that way for a few seconds. "That's it!" Sen then suddenly shouted, getting back up on his feet. Everyone looked at Sen, with a questioning look on their faces. "It's so obvious now, I should have realised it sooner... I know what your other reason is, Ian." Sen uttered, facing me with a smirk on his face. At first, I didn't think anything of it, and drank the tea that Swan-san had brought me. But as I slowly took in the words he just said, i realised what Sen was thinking, and before I could stop him, it was too late.
"Ian, you are in love with Boss!" Sen declared loudly, pointing a finger at me.
My eyes instantly widened in shock, my face turning deep red as I choked on the tea that I was drinking. Everyone's eyes turned to me, surprised at this sudden revelation. "Oh boy...", I thought, thinking of a way of out my current predicament.
It was going to be a long day.
