Somewhere in the woods, we found Kame no Shizuka, running away, holding something in her hands that looked like a head-statue of... someone of great importance, somehow.

Shizuka snickered, as she turned back to look at the road she just made for herself, which appeared to have started at some cave in the distance: "Better luck next time, Boukengers."

With this, she turned back to run further. Though, not two meters away from where she stood first, she tripped over something. When she tried to get up again, she saw that she tripped over a wire. Knowing that you can't just find such things in the woods like this, she looked to her left. There she saw the hook which kept held the wire, so that's not where it came from.

"Try that again, and there won't be a next time for you." a voice whispered from her right.

Shizuka turned her head to her right. She saw the figure a man, who appeared taller than any other man she had ever encountered. He wore a vest much like the Boukengers do, only this one was green, and this man's face was obscured by the shadow of the tree under which he stood.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"Those you met in that cave sometimes call me 'The Creative Adventurer'." the man replied, "But you may call me..."

The man raised his left arm, where he had a bracelet, just like Boukensilver has. He pressed all the appropriate buttons, which changed him into a suit similar to the aforementioned, safe for the fact that what's silver on that other suit is green here, and what's black or white on the other suits is a shade grey here. Also, his helmet was made to resemble some kind of heavy vehicle.

"...Boukemerald." the man finished his sentence.

"Boukemerald, huh..." Shizuka did not appear impressed, "And you think you can take me?"

"The other ones did once." Boukemerald said, "So why wouldn't I?"

Immediately, Shizuka attacked him. Every attack she tried however, Boukemerald somehow dodged every one of them.

"Ooooo..." Shizuka was getting pissed at this. She decided to drop a smoke-bomb.

Boukemerald, however, caught her little bomb: "I'll take that."

He threw the bomb into her face, causing her to cry of agony. That's when the other four arrived.

"Nice work, Emerald." Masumi said, as he secured the statue, which Shizuka dropped, "Now we have secured the precious."

"He ruined my face!" Shizuka cried, "Now I'm scarred forever!"

"Let me look at that." Souta said.

Despite Shizuka's reluctance, Souta still managed to look at her face. Her face wasn't damaged at all, her helmet was however. The bomb must have hit her helmet, but Shizuka still got blinded by the smoke, which must have caused the pain she felt.

"That's alright." Souta assured her, "I would still date you."

"Date?" Boukemerald sounded surprised at the sound of that word, "I'm confused. Is she a foe or a friend?"

"You've damaged me, and all you can say is that?" Shizuka sounded displeased, "Oh, you..."

This time, when she dropped another smoke bomb, she managed to do exactly what she tried and disappeared.

"I told you it was a good idea for one of us to stay behind." Eiji said.

"And Emerald did a great job at it." Natsuki agreed.

"I only did what you guys would have done." Boukemerald reasoned.

"Still, for this being your first day as a Boukenger, you even impressed me." Masoumi said.

"Well..." Boukemerald started, as he deactivated his suit, "... I guess this means I can join you guys more for field work now."

Boukemerald, now in his civilian form, rearranged his glasses, which were about to fall off his nose. Those glasses made his eyes look slightly bigger. This way, if anyone saw him and didn't know he wasn't Asian, they'd know it now.

"I guess that ninja woman did not expect she'd be facing a European either." he added.

"Why is it that you strangers are so tall anyway?" Natsuki asked, "It scares even Natsuki."

"I don't know." he replied, "Why are you so small?"

"I guess your height must have scared Shizuka as well." Souta theorized, "This how she must have lost concentration. Or else you couldn't have dodged her attacks so easily."

"If it were that easy..." Masumi moaned, "... we wouldn't have this problem now."

He looked at his Accellular when he said this, as did the rest of the group do with their own henshin-devices. All of them were damaged, as if they too had exploded.
