I do not own Super Sentai or anything else that this fic references.
Oh and before I get started, let me say this to start, THIS FIC IS NOT A REWRITE OF KODENRANGER FIRST STRIKE! Don't compare this fic to that fic because it is just like how Goseiger is not a remake of Shinkenger. Goseiger is another series after Shinkenger, just like how Karuranger is another series in the same vain as Kageranger and Kariranger is to Kodenranger. Sealing Sentai Karuranger is not in fact a rewrite of First Strike. I don't know how you people can think it is since after all this fic itself acknowledges the existence of Kodenranger albeit the rewritten Kodenranger and not First Strike.
Sealing Sentai Karuranger
Chapter 2: Thundering Raze
Rai was uneasy as he walked the halls of the school. "Shit, shit, shit." Rai muttered to himself as he walked while constantly shivering. He couldn't help but remember the night before, how he was escorting Yume back to her house when a person wearing a black robe came up to them and knocked him out. He woke up unable to find Yume and he thought the worst. "Oh man, what am I going to tell Ryu?" Rai asked himself. "I don't know what happened to Yume, hopefully she's still alive but if she is alive then . . . what could've that person have done to her."
Rai found Ryu standing in the middle of the hallway and went up to Ryu. "Hey Ryu." Rai called out to Ryu. Might as well be brave and tell him.
As Rai was about to tap Ryu's shoulder, Ryu held a finger to his lips. "Sh." Ryu was looking straight forward. "It comes." A football came flying spiraling over to Ryu. "HIYAH!" Ryu stuck his hand out, only to miss the ball and get hit on the head. "I saw that coming, I really did!" Ryu shouted and dropped to the ground.
"OI RYU!" Lee shouted and ran over to Ryu. Lee helped Ryu up. "Hey man, you ok? I didn't mean to throw it that hard."
"I have a hard head, no worries." Ryu assured Lee. Lee released Ryu and Ryu fell down on the floor again. "Hey how come everything is completely upside down now?"
Lee looked at the fallen Ryu, then let out a chuckle. "Still a joker aren't you?" Lee helped Ryu up again.
"Hey Ryu." Rai said again.
"What is it?" Ryu asked.
"Um you know last night . . ."
"Yes?" Ryu egged Rai on.
"It's really hard to say this . . ."
"Come on, spit it out, I don't have all day. Me as the main character has more important stuff than stand on the same spot and constantly faint due to head trauma." Ryu said only to faint again for no apparent reason. Lee helped Ryu up . . . again.
"Well . . ." Rai was about to talk about Yume, till Ryu fainted again.
"ONII-CHAN!" Yume came running over, surprising the hell out of Rai. Yume knelt down and shook Ryu. "Onii-chan get up!"
"HAI!" Ryu got up in a flash.
"Y-y-y-y-YUME!" Rai shouted unexpectedly, surprising Ryu, Yume, Lee, and just about every one else in the whole entire school that was around to hear Rai.
"What is it Kaicho?" Yume asked. Then Rai grabbed Yume's shoulders with a hint of savagery in his eyes.
"You . . . you're right here right? You're real right?" Rai started squeezing Yume's shoulders, making Yume freeze in shock at the very action, all the while Rai made his hands down the rest of Yume's body to check to see if she was real.
Ryu was not amused by Rai's touching of his(Ryu) sister, so Ryu made a jump and socked Rai's face. "NO TOUCHY!" Ryu shouted. After Ryu landed and Rai was on the ground, "No one, and I mean NO ONE, touches my sister but ME!" Saying this surprised every one who could hear Ryu while making Yume blush.
Rai perked his ears up. "Yeah you're right." Rai got up and straighten himself up, first with his tie. "Except, what exactly did you mean by that?"
"The same thing you do with what you always do with Reika." Ryu replied straightforwardly.
"Hey I thought I was the straightforward guy." Lee said with a blank stare while pointing at himself. Every one ignored him.
"What do you mean by that?" Rai asked Ryu. Ryu gave a pretty big smile and no other answer.
"Hey can I tell your parents you said that?" Ojii-chan popped up from between Ryu and Yume.
"Where the heck did you come from!" Ryu, Yume, Lee, and Rai shouted.
"I'm a ninja." Ojii-chan said then started to run towards the exit to run to the Hinote Household to tattle on Ryu.
"OI WAIT!" Ryu shouted and grabbed the football from Lee's hands. Ryu stood back and readied his throw. "HISSATSU!" Ryu shouted. "ORYAH!" Ryu threw the ball really hard. "SPIRALING OLD MAN SEEKING MEMORY WIPER SHOT!" Ryu turned to the camera. "I can make up randomly long attack names because I can."
The ball struck Ojii-chan's head and he fainted.
"You sure you can do that to your grandfather?" Rai asked Ryu.
"He's the most fittest person in the world" Yume replied for Ryu. "Ojii-chan's not dying anytime soon."
"Still . . ." Rai said with a sweat drop. I still wonder though, what happened to Yume last night?
...
During lunch time, instead of running to where his sister was, Rai instead followed Ryu and Yume up to the roof. As Rai opened the door to the roof, he found that Ryu and Yume were talking about what happened the night before. Rai entered when Yume was talking.
"Rai was walking me home." Yume said to Ryu. "It was during that time that . . ."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Ryu shouted, interrupting Yume mid sentence. "Walking home with Rai? Huh? You . . . hey you don't really like him like that right?" Rai perked his ears up upon hearing Ryu say that and inched a little closer to hear what Yume had to say without being found out by either Ryu or Yume.
"Wha-wha-what?" Yume was a tad surprised hearing her brother ask. "Of course not, I don't really like him like that . . . I mean he's quite gentle and . . . handsome, but I don't really like him like that."
Rai dropped as he couldn't help but feel a little down by Yume's statement. "Wait . . . why do I feel so hurt, I don't exactly like her like that either." Rai said to himself. "At least she called me handsome . . . but why should I care?"
"Mah, well whatever." Ryu said. "Just make sure you don't date him and I'll be fine."
"Why are we talking about my love life all of the sudden?" Yume asked in wonder.
"Because I love you, now come on, just continue." Ryu said straightforwardly.
"O . . . k." Yume said with widened eyes of surprise. "During that time last night, a man in a black robe just came up suddenly and knocked Rai out. After that everything went blank."
"Richter . . ." Ryu mumbled under his breath seeing as how it's easy to figure out that the man in the robe was Richter the whole time. I'll kill you one day. "Well at least you're ok now."
Yume laid her head on Ryu's shoulder. "Thanks for saving me." She said lovingly, and also surprised Rai.
What? Rai thought. Ryu . . . he saved her?
Yume giggled, "it's usually me whose always saving you from trouble." Yume said. "It's kind of nice having my brother save me instead."
"Get used to it, I'll make sure it happens more often now." Ryu said wrapping a hand around Yume's shoulder.
Rai looked away and pressed his back against the wall. "Man I can't help but get a lovey dovey feel from the atmosphere." Rai shook his head. "Get your head out of the gutter man, they're brother and sister, brother and sister."
"HEY KAICHO!" Lee exclaimed barging through the door, surprising Rai, and making Ryu and Yume jump.
"OI RAI!" Ryu shouted. "How much did you hear of what I said!"
"Um . . . I don't know." Rai replied, while he was sweating profusely due to being found out and then he thought, wait . . . why should I even worry that I'm found, all I wanted to do was talk to Ryu about last night but Yume has already talked to him about it . . .
"Well if you heard anything I said to my sister then it looks like I'll have to kill you right here right now . . . except I won't because you'll murder me before I even get a chance to." Ryu said nodding his head.
"Onii-chan . . . you're kind of starting to scare me." Yume remarked.
"Sorry." Ryu said with a smile and rubbed the back of his head.
"Anyway Lee, why the hell did you barge in on me when I was eavesdropping on Ryu and Yume!" Rai screamed at his best friend.
"Dude, chill." Lee said trying to calm Rai down.
"AHA! So you were eavesdropping on me and Yume!" Ryu shouted.
"I never denied it." Rai growled back.
"Right." Ryu calmed down.
"So . . . WHAT IS IT LEE! Spit it out!" Rai bellowed.
"You never gave me a chance to talk!" Lee retorted. "Anyway outside in the courtyard, a guy in a red robe with the same exact hair as Ryu is fighting with Takeshi-sensei with wooden swords! IT'S AWESOME . . . for some weird reason."
"Yeah you're . . . weird." Rai said nonchalantly, though Ryu and Yume could only look in horror.
The twins rushed towards the metal fence which bordered the roof and looked down to see their father clashing against their teacher.
"OH MY GOD!" Yume shouted, "how can papa just come here and do that!"
"PAPA!" Rai and Lee shouted in surprise.
"Now that I think about it . . . that really sounds awesome." Rai remarked.
"No wonder he looked a lot like Ryu." Lee said holding his chin and nodded.
"Come on, let's stop them before any one else finds out he's our dad." Ryu said patting his sister on the back. Both of them rushed down the stairs.
"You know, I can't help but feel Ryu likes to touch Yume a lot." Lee said.
"THEY'RE SIBLINGS! BROTHER AND SISTER! TWINS!" Rai shouted.
"And you also like to touch Reika-chan a lot." Lee remarked straightforwardly and with a smile.
"What?" Rai could only stare at Lee with bewilderment.
...
Ryu and Yume ran outside to see a huge crowd of students rushing to watch as two middle aged men duked it out against each other. Ryu and Yume pushed through the crowd and stared with their mouths agape to see their father and teacher beating at each other up for no good reason.
"I see you have grown strong." Ryuuji said. "These sixteen years have done nothing to your swordsmanship."
"Neither has you my old friend." Takeshi-sensei said and pushed Ryuuji's wooden sword away. "Too bad I shall strike you down today."
"If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can ever imagine."
"BULL CRAP!" Takeshi-sensei shouted and slammed down on Ryuuji's wooden sword. "You're just saying that to sound intellectual! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE ANYWAY!"
"I'm here to see my kids." Ryuuji said, "is there anything wrong with that?"
"YES!" Yume screamed and just rushed towards the two and threw her fists at her dad and teacher. She slammed her fist against the jaw of both middle aged men and both went flying away and landed with their arms on each other.
"Good job." Ryu said in broken English just to sound funny.
"Oh hi honey!" Ryuuji said getting up holding Takeshi-sensei in his arms, and then both looked at each other and screamed.
"IYAH!" Both men screamed and pushed each other away.
"DUDE! What the hell!" Takeshi-sensei shouted.
"ME WHAT THE HELL! WHAT ABOUT YOU!" Ryuuji shouted. "You're still single while I'm married to a hot wife and have two children . . . YOU'RE THE ONE WHOSE!"
"SHUT UP DAD!" Ryu shouted and threw a rock at his father's head, then Ryu grabbed the nearest boy around him and used that boy's hand to throw a rock at Takeshi-sensei's head.
"WHO THREW THAT ROCK AT ME!" Takeshi-sensei shouted.
"I did, except it was his arm who threw it." Ryu said pointing at the boy.
"I hate you man." The boy said to Ryu.
"Who doesn't?" Ryu asked sarcastically.
"Hey Ryu, can you come here for a moment?" Ryuuji asked.
"You've already embarrassed me and my sister enough, I don't see why I shouldn't come over to where you are." Ryu walked a few inches forward and turned around to the crowd, whom were all paying attention to see what would happen. "Go back inside or else I'll get my Ojii-chan to punish all of you . . . severely." Ryu said with a bright smile. Everyone rushed back inside in a flash as Ryu was the headmaster's grandson.
Ryu then walked towards his dad, passing Yume but not before being asked, "would you really have done that?" by Yume.
"Nope, but they'll believe anything as I'm the headmaster's grandson." Ryu said. "They'll believe you too, but you'll probably never act like a jerk like I do." Ryu patted Yume's back. "Just go back inside, I'll have some talk with Dad. It's probably about the whole business being a red ranger and all."
Yume nodded and turned around. "Don't do anything dangerous ok?"
"Why would I?" Ryu asked.
"Because papa does some real extreme things and I don't quite trust him with you." Yume replied. She walked back inside the school.
"Heh." Ryu smirked. "It's so great having a cute girl worry for me." Ryu whispered. He walked up to his dad. "So what's up?"
"Come with me." Ryuuji said, heading for the exit.
"OI!" Takeshi-sensei shouted, "where are you taking my student!"
"I'm going to play hookey with him." Ryuuji replied.
"HE'S A STUDENT! He's not allowed to ditch!" Takeshi-sensei bellowed.
"Sure he is, don't you want to Ryu?" Ryuuji asked.
"Hm, let me think about this." Ryu said with a hand to his chin. "At school I have a really cute sister who I can just be with at anytime I want or . . .
"You know, you're starting to freak me out with all your touchy of your sister and the way you talk of her." Ryuuji commented.
". . . outside where I have to be with my old man . . . I think I'll stay in school." Ryu finished. He turned around away from his dad only to get pulled back.
"You're coming and that's final." Ryuuji muttered.
"OI!" Takeshi-sensei shouted. "Don't act like ditching is ok!"
"Ditching is ok, since he's the main character." Ryuuji replied with a grin.
"No it is not, the main character just can't do anything he wants." Ryu retorted.
"And you know that's a lie." Takeshi-sensei said with a scowl.
"Yeah, but how else am I going to get back into class?" Ryu asked.
"Come on, it'll only be for a little bit, besides, it's still Lunch Time, I'll have him back by the end of it." Ryuuji said with a reassuring tone to Takeshi-sensei.
"Well can I hold you to that?" Takeshi-sensei asked, still distrusting Ryuuji.
"Have I ever broken my word?" Ryuuji asked with a grin.
"No, you haven't." Takeshi-sensei said grinning back. "As much as I hate you, that's something you'll never do. All right." Takeshi-sensei made his way back to the school. "If he isn't back then I'll make sure to punish him ten times worst than before."
"Hey dad, how about you go in my place since you look just like me?" Ryu asked nonchalantly.
"That's fine with me." Takeshi-sensei replied walking off.
"NO WAY!" Ryuuji shouted. "Fine, fine, I'll make this as quick as possible." Ryuuji grabbed Ryu's arm and dragged Ryu towards the bushes.
...
A steam train pulled up to the train station, surprising every one around. The steam train was gold and black in color and no one expected such a train to pull up to the station in this time and day at 2019. The door to the steam train opened up revealing a regal appearance inside. A boy wearing a hat and with a green jacket on walked out the train and after leaving the train, the train went backwards, leaving the station and many pedestrians in bewilderment. The boy exited the station and looked out towards the city. "Huh, looks like this is my new home." He said with annoyance. "Oh goody."
...
Ryuuji explained to Ryu about the powers of the Karurizer and the cards that worked with it. The dragon monster that Ryu had sealed the night before was known as a Karujyu. Karujyus are creatures that exist in the world with powerful capabilities. The creatures are not evil and would rather not be disturbed or disturb humans, however the Ashika (Ashi means Evil while Ka comes from Karu which comes from a word that means Card in Japanese) have captured some Karujyus and are using the Karujyus to wreak havoc. The beetle grunts that Ryu had been running away from were called Kabushi, minions of the Ashika and not Karujyus themselves.
"Ok . . . how does Yume fit into all this?" Ryu asked.
"She's . . . special." Ryuuji replied.
"I know that, that's why the Ashika want her, but why is she special?" Ryu inched closer to Ryuuji.
"She's . . . it's not something that I can just outright tell you." Ryuuji replied looking away. "That man, Jikoku Kai (Time Kai) . . ."
"You mean Richter?" Ryu asked.
"I don't even want to know why you called him that but he told me his name was Jikoku Kai." Ryuuji said.
"You . . . met him before I did?" Ryu asked. Ryuuji nodded. "Oh well, that name is still too cool for him, so Richter it is."
"Why Richter?"
"Because . . . it makes no sense." Ryu replied bluntly.
"Anyway, that 'Richter', has called you Kodenred right?"
"Yeah, I really don't know why he did seeing as how I'm Karured." Ryu nodded his head.
"It is because you're not Kodenred but Karured that Yume is special." Ryuuji replied, his tone saddening.
"Eh?"
"Anyway." Ryuuji shook his head. "You have to protect Yume and the people around with your life, you got that?"
"Yeah, I get that much." Ryu replied.
"You already know how to seal a Karujyu," said Ryuuji.
"Weaken it and throw a blank card at it." Finished Ryu.
"Right, and make sure it's weak enough or else you'll end up healing the Karujyu with your blank card." Ryuuji explained. "Also, that Dragon that you sealed yesterday may prove useful in piloting your Karutenjyu."
"My what?" Ryu gave a short scowl of confusion.
"Karuryon, it's a Karutenjyu, a heavenly Karujyu which has attained even greater power." Ryuuji answered. "I'm pretty sure you know that your cards also affect your Karutenjyu."
"I know that already."
"Here." Ryuuji reached into his robe and pulled out a couple of cards. "These may prove useful to you in the battles to come."
"Why do you have these cards?" Ryu asked, taking the cards and stuffing them in his pocket.
"The year 2007, if you remember what happened that year then maybe you'll find the answer."
Ryu could only glare daggers at his father. "I hate it when people don't give me a straight answer." Ryu muttered.
"Anyhow, better get back to class." Ryuuji said rubbing his son's hair.
"Yeah, yeah, I got it!" Ryu shouted ducking to get away from his father's hand.
"Careful out there," Ryuuji cautioned, "danger lurks at every corner."
"Hai, hai, I got it." Ryu said walking back to school. "I know what I'm dealing with, so just trust me, I won't die." Ryu said giving a thumbs up.
Ryuuji looked at his son's back as Ryu walked back into school. "Sometimes he reminds me of . . . me." Ryuuji shrugged. "Being alive sure is great, to be able to see my son like that."
...
After school, Ryu and Yume decided to hang out in the city because, "MOU!" Yume whined. "I can't believe you and Papa went out to eat without me last night!"
"Well you called home and said you were staying at Reika's house for dinner and I didn't eat dinner last night so . . . yeah." Ryu shrugged.
Yume grabbed Ryu's arm. "Mou, then you better make it up to me by taking me out on a date." Yume said.
"Hai, hai, I got it." Ryu said nodding. "It'll be a date with my darling little sister. Ok then, except I don't got much money on me."
"Well we can just go to that burger joint to get something quick to eat." Yume suggested.
"Ok then." Ryu nodded in agreement.
While the two both walked to the burger joint, hand in hand, the boy in the green jacket peeked out from behind a pillar. "So, that girl is supposed to be the one I'm protecting." He said referencing Yume. "I wonder if how long that boyfriend of her's can keep her safe." This time referencing that boy who has his arm wrapped by Yume, AKA Ryu. (Weird . . .) The boy looked at a roof of a tall building. "Looks like the Ashika have begun today." On top of the building was a black minotaur like Karujyu, preparing to strike.
...
Inside the burger joint, Ryu and Yume sat down ready to eat, and discuss about the future that may come. "Onii-chan, are you sure you'll be ok?" Yume asked. "I mean, if you're going to be a ranger, your going to end up in a lot of fights."
"Hey I know I'm not good at fighting but I'm good at running away and making use of the obstacles around me." Ryu replied.
"I didn't mean you were a bad fighter, I just . . . I hope you don't get killed." Yume said.
"I'm worried about you since they'll probably come for you again." Ryu said biting into his burger.
Yume choked on a piece of meat. "What?"
"I don't know why, but apparently you're important in the bad guy's plan." Ryu replied. "But I can't just sit around and let them do what they want, especially since my baby sister's involved."
"I'm your twin sister." Yume commented.
"My younger twin sister, so I like to call you my baby sister." Ryu pointed out.
Coincidentally, Rai today decided to come into the same place that Ryu and Yume were in. Rai was about to go up to the counter to order, but then saw Ryu and Yume. "You two!" Rai exclaimed.
Ryu and Yume turned to face Rai. "Yo Kaicho." Ryu said.
Rai sat down next to Ryu, "hey Ryu, can I ask you something?" Rai asked.
"If it's a date, then no because I'm already on one with my sister."
"I'm not interested in guys." Rai replied blankly. "Anyway . . . WAIT! A date . . . with your sister!"
"What?" Ryu asked. "Never been on a date with Reika-chan before?"
"WHAT!" Rai shrieked.
"Isn't it normal for siblings to be together?" Yume asked.
"Yeah . . . but a date!" Rai shouted.
"Yes, a date." Ryu said and then turned to see that everybody in the place was staring at him and Yume. "What, never spent time with your siblings before?" Everybody turned around with the thought that Ryu and Yume were just being together because they were close siblings. "So what did you want to ask?" Ryu asked Rai.
"Well um . . . crud I forgot because I can't seem to get some odd images out of my head now." Rai mentioned.
"Yes, think dirty thoughts of my sister and me, and meet a knuckle sandwich." Ryu said clenching his fist. "And a fork." He picked up a plastic fork.
"I WASN'T THINKING THOSE KIND OF THOUGHTS!" Rai shouted then let out a sigh and quickly gained his composure back. "How did you manage to save your sister last night? There's no way you could've known she was in trouble in the first place."
"Would you believe me if I was a henshin hero?" Ryu asked, making Yume choke again in surprise.
"A what?" Rai asked.
"I don't know, a henshin hero." Ryu replied. "You know, those guys wearing colored suits running around saving civilians and such, you know those people."
Rai stared at Ryu as if Ryu was an idiot. "How stupid do you think I am to fall for such a stupid response?"
"You're actually pretty stupid not to accept that answer." Ryu said. Ryu bit into his burger. "Yume, finish up because trouble is looming."
"Oh ok." Yume nodded.
"Huh?" Rai asked.
"Because I told you and you didn't believe me, so now in a few minutes monsters will attack." Ryu said. "It's the standard formula, just run with it and be the damsel in distress today as well."
Rai blinked his eyes in surprise. "What?"
Ryu and Yume finished their meal, both picked up a napkin and wiped their mouths clean, and the window to the restaurant shattered as Kabushis barged in. Every one screamed and tried to run away while the Kabushis attacked some of them to find Yume.
"Yume let's go!" Ryu shouted. Yume and Ryu ran towards the door but before they left. "OI YOU STUPID BUGS! Right here!" Ryu shouted to direct the Kabushis attention away from the civilians. Ryu and Yume exited. Rai looked at the Kabushis then ran after the Hinote twins, and were followed by the Kabushis.
Rai caught up with Ryu and Yume. "Why the hell did you do that!" Rai shouted. "If you knew they were after you why did you tell them where you were!"
"Because if I didn't innocents will die!" Ryu shouted. "NOW MOVE!" Ryu pushed Rai away to dodge a Sword Kabushi.
"Rai, please just stay away or you'll get hurt." Yume said with worry to Rai.
"Come on!" Ryu grabbed Yume's hand and the two ran away, with the Kabushis following.
"I'm . . . really confused right now." Rai remarked. A hand wearing green came towards Rai's shoulder and twisted Rai's shoulder. "URK!" Rai fainted at the spot.
...
Ryu and Yume ran into an abandoned wrecked warehouse. "You got to love how abandoned buildings always appear." Ryu commented.
"Onii-chan why are we hiding in here?" Yume asked.
"This is just a place for you to be safe while I fend them all off." Ryu said. Ryu stopped and released Yume's hand. "Now, this is a good place to take them all down." Ryu said. He took out his Karurizer. "A tight space leaving a group of enemies nowhere to run, I like this." Ryu took out his transformation card. "RISE UP!" Ryu shouted, only to hear a gun shot. "WHOA!" Ryu quickly grabbed Yume and rolled away, and at the same time, Ryu's transformation card flew out of his hands. Ryu and Yume rolled behind large piece of debris.
"Onii-chan! You dropped that card." Yume exclaimed.
Ryu checked his hands, then peeked up from the debris that he and Yume were hiding behind to see that his card was really far from his spot and in the middle of him and a bunch of gun wielding Kabushis with Caucasus horns. "Shit!" Ryu grunted and ducked behind the large debris before the Gun Kabushis started to open fire. "Man that was careless."
"What do we do?" Yume asked and yelped after a chunk of the debris they were hiding behind was blasted away.
"I'm pretty sure they need you alive so they'll eventually stop to get us but who knows what's going to happened to me." Ryu reached into his pocket and pulled out a red deck holder containing all the cards that Karured has access to. Ryu opened the deck holder, pulled out all of his cards, and fanned them out. "Damn it! I can't find anything here that could work . . . NOT EVEN THE ONES I JUST GOT THIS CHAPTER!" A gunshot ricocheted off the edge of the debris. "Got to hurry, there's almost no more wall to defend us against their gunshots."
"Onii-chan, why don't you see if that device has a button that can help here?" Yume suggested.
"Huh." Ryu looked at his Karurizer. The Karurizer did have a lot of buttons. "Hm, I have to wonder what half of these even do."
"How about that button with the lion head?" Yume asked, then shirked as a gunshot bounced off the debris above her.
"Ah, might as well try." Ryu pushed the button.
"SWIPE." The Karurizer announced.
"Huh?" Ryu and Yume wondered what the Karurizer meant by that. Ryu pushed the switch again.
"SWIPE."
"I think you're supposed to swipe a card." Yume said.
"Got nothing to lose." Ryu picked a card from the fanned out pile of cards. On the card it depicted a picture of the Dragon Karujyu. "HERE WE GO!" Ryu swiped the card across the Karurizer while he held the lion face button.
"RELEASE! DRAGON!" The Karurizer announced then flashed a bright light, blinding Ryu, Yume, and the Kabushis.
Out from the light, a monster started to materialize. Card images piled together to form a solid being. That being . . . was the Dragon Karujyu. The light dissipated, allowing Ryu and Yume to stare in horror at the being in front of them.
"Oh shit." Ryu mumbled in fear while his sister grabbed onto him tightly.
The Dragon Karujyu glanced at Ryu, then raised its head and jumped over Ryu and Yume. This in itself surprised the twins a lot. Ryu and Yume peeked over the debris to see the Dragon Karujyu rushing towards the Kabushis.
The Kabushis opened fire which didn't stop the Dragon Karujyu. The Dragon Karujyu ran up to two Kabushis and grabbed them. The Dragon Karujyu flung the Kabushis away and went on to claw a few Kabushis. The Dragon Karujyu opened its mouth and blew a firebreath which blasted away a line of Kabushis. The Dragon Karujyu grabbed a Kabushi and bashed its head with a knee.
One Kabushi molted its horn to grow stag horns for a sword. That Kabushi ran up to try to slash the Karujyu, only to get the sword grabbed by the Dragon's hand. The Dragon Karujyu melted the sword with flames, then kicked off the Kabushi's chest into the air. The Dragon's foot blazed up and the Dragon Karujyu came flying down kicking a bunch of Kabushis into oblivion. The Dragon Karujyu landed near the Karured card and picked it up. The Gun Kabushis opened fire at the fleeing Dragon Karujyu. The Dragon Karujyu jumped over the large debris and landed in front of Ryu and Yume, crouching.
The Dragon Karujyu handed the card to Ryu. Ryu took the card but couldn't help but stare alongside his sister, at the Karujyu. "Um . . . thanks." Ryu said.
The Dragon Karujyu looked at the dirt below, then started tracing some words. Ryu and Yume looked at the words.
Yume read them out. "Arigato . . . master." Yume said.
Ryu looked at the words then at the Dragon Karujyu with surprise. "Um, for what?" Ryu asked.
"You have to seal these monsters to keep them from the enemies' control right?" Yume asked.
"That's the general idea." Ryu reply.
"He might be thanking you for freeing him from the enemies' control." Yume commented. "It's kind of sweet when you think about it."
"Is that true?" Ryu asked the Dragon Karujyu. The Dragon Karujyu nodded. Ryu grinned. "Well if anything, glad to have you on the team." Ryu picked up the deck box and slipped the box into his pocket. "Ok then, Yume, make sure you do what I say, ok?"
"Ok Onii-chan." Yume nodded.
Ryu rolled out pass some gunfire and quickly showed off his card. "BREAK THE SEAL!" Ryu resumed the henshin that had been interrupted before. Ryu pushed a button on the Karurizer. "Karu, HENSHIN!" Ryu swiped the card across the Karurizer.
"BLAZE OUT!" The Karurizer announced.
The Dragon Karujyu jumped in the air and reverted back into a card. Flames surrounded Ryu and bursted out to form Karured. The Dragon card flew back into the deck that was at the side of Ryu's belt. Ryu then opened up his deck to draw a card. Ryu swiped the card across his Karurizer.
"BLAZING SWORDS!" The Karurizer announced. The sword that Ryu had used before appeared from a red light from the Karurizer. At the same time, the Dragon card in Ryu's deck flashed and a second sword flew from the Karurizer due to Ryu having the Dragon card in the deck.
"This is a lot better than before." Ryu said. "Yume, stay behind me!" Yume came out from behind while the Gun Kabushis kept firing. Ryu swung his swords to bash away the projectile that came flying by. "Time to break through!" Ryu shouted. Eventually the Gun Kabushis molted their horns to form either Stag Horns or a Hercules Horn. The Sword Kabushis ran over to Ryu and swung their swords at Ryu. Ryu parried all their swords then slipped them past his swords and slashed the Kabushis. Spear Kabushis came from behind Ryu and Yume, ready to pierce Ryu and ignoring that they needed Yume alive. Yume let out a yelp, but Ryu grabbed his sister and jumped over the Spear Kabushis. "Man there's a lot, I don't think I'll be able to beat them all."
"What should we do then Onii-chan?" Yume asked worryingly and at the same time, the horns of the Kabushi molted for the Caucasus horn again.
Ryu looked around the building and found a broken down motorcycle in the building. Ryu opened his deck and pulled out the cards that Ryuuji had given him. "This card." Ryu picked up a card that had a picture of what looked like a motorcycle themed Karujyu. "I'll make use of this." Ryu pointed his Karurizer at the motorcycle. Ryu swiped the card across the Karurizer.
"CHANGE!" The Karurizer announced and changed the bike into the Karu Cycle.
"That works!" Ryu exclaimed. Ryu grabbed Yume's hand and ran to the Karu Cycle. The Kabushi were about to open fire but Ryu threw his Karurizer at the slot on the Karu Cycle which was meant to hold a Karurizer. After the Karurizer attached onto the Karu Cycle, the Karu Cycle roared into life and went in reverse to Ryu. Ryu quickly grabbed on and made sure his sister was behind him. "HOLD ON TO ME!" Ryu told his sister and revved the bike up. Ryu made a wheelie and then dashed through the Kabushis, running them over.
After the Kabushis quickly regrouped, they opened fire at the bike, but the bike made a turn and they missed.
"Ha ha!" Ryu taunted. "Better luck next time!"
Yume held onto her red ranger of a brother. "Onii-chan, I think you lost the." She mentioned.
"Mah, oh well." Ryu said. "I still want to drive this bike."
"Are you sure you're good at driving a motorcycle?" Yume asked, a little worried that her brother might crash.
"Relax, I've seen dad do this a lot so I know what I'm dealing with." Ryu said. "Trust me, I'll make sure I don't crash, and besides, if I do I would make sure you don't get hurt."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive." Ryu nodded. Ryu drove on while his sister pressed her chest against his back while resting her head on his back. Ryu from time to time looked behind him to look at his sister. As Ryu drove on, Ryu could've sworn he heard some large thundering footsteps. "Yume, do you hear something?"
"Yeah I do." Yume replied. "It's coming from behind us."
"Can you check up on it." Ryu asked.
Yume looked behind her, and the Minotaur Karujyu that appeared earlier was now chasing the Karu Cycle. "It's a cow monster!" Yume shouted.
"A WHAT!" Ryu turned his head and saw the Minotaur closing in on him. "OH CRAP!" Ryu drew a card and swiped the card across the Karurizer.
"BOOST!" The Karurizer announced. Large red boosters appeared on the back of the Karu Cycle. Ryu turned the Karu Cycle around and faced the Minotaur Karujyu.
"Well it's large steps might end up hurting some civilians if I drive anywhere near a crowded area, so we'll just have to go back!" Ryu revved forward the boosters blazed up, speeding the Karu Cycle up.
"Onii-chan, don't drop me!" Yume cried out.
"Just make sure you hold on to me!" Ryu shouted and drove past the Minotaur Karujyu. The Minotaur turned around and stampeded towards Ryu. Ryu drove into a tunnel and the Karujyu followed. The Karujyu was about to catch up. "Man you're pretty quick on your feet." Ryu however shifted the bike towards the wall of the tunnel and drove on the wall and around the wall and ceiling over the Karujyu. The Karujyu stopped and turned around to see Ryu turning the bike around and driving away from the Karujyu. The Karujyu ran after the Karu Cycle again.
"That thing is really persistent." Yume remarked.
"Oh well, time to slow it down." Ryu pushed a button on his Karurizer and the boosters on the Karu Cycle detached from the Karu Cycle and flew into the Karujyu, bashing it away. Ryu drove off. "That should give us enough time."
Yume however heard a large thumping step from behind. She turned around but didn't see the Karujyu, but when she looked up, she saw the Karujyu jump above them. "Onii-chan stop the bike!"
Ryu put on the brakes and the Karu Cycle stopped, just in time as the Karujyu landed a few feet away from the Karu Cycle.
"Karured, hand that girl over!" The Karujyu demanded.
"Don't you guys get tired of demanding for stuff only to get a no in the end?" Ryu asked. "I'm not even going to answer you, you should know my answer."
"Then I'll kill you, and I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to at least get that girl in with a few scratches." The Minotaur Karujyu charged at the Karu Cycle.
"Looks like I'll have to fight!" Ryu shouted. "Make sure you don't let go of me Yume!" Ryu made a wheelie and dodged the Minotaurs charge but the Minotaur attempted another tackle. Ryu reversed the bike a little letting the Minotaur near. Ryu threw a few punches, each punch with a little more flames until Ryu threw a blazing fist into the Minotaur. The Minotaur however wasn't phased and Ryu's hand was hurting a lot from attacking the highly defensive Minotaur.
"That was a stupid thing to do." Ryu mumbled to himself. Ryu drove away from the Minotaur's fist slam, which created a huge crater on the ground. "Hey Yume, help me draw a card."
Yume opened up her brother's deck and pulled out a card. "Would this one work?"
"Won't know till I try." Ryu said. "Also looks like another one of the cards that dad handed to me." This card depicted a Karujyu with spike knuckles and many spikes on its body. Ryu swiped the card through his Karurizer.
"POWER BOOST!" The Karurizer announced.
The Minotaur Karujyu was able to keep up with the Karu Cycle and ran next to it. Ryu's hand started to glow and Ryu threw a fist at the Minotaur and the Minotaur actually flinched from a powered up fist from Ryu. Ryu threw a few more fists and again with each fist throwing more flames eventually escalating in a flaming power fist. "ORYAH!" Ryu smashed the Karujyu into a building. Ryu pulled on the brakes and the Karu Cycle stopped.
The Karujyu picked itself off the building and jumped back onto the ground. The Karujyu's steps smashed the ground where it stomped on.
"Why won't you just stay down?" Ryu whined. "Yume, I'll be back." Ryu got off the bike and stood in dragon stance, with his hands and legs still glowing.
The Karujyu slammed its fists together and crouched, ready to tackle Ryu. Ryu, unlike most heroes who wait for their opponent for the first move, moved first and dashed towards the Karujyu. Ryu threw a flaming power fist at the Karujyu then used his other hand to throw another flaming power fist. Ryu jumped and executed a flaming power roundhouse kick. Ryu kept throwing his fists at the Karujyu and kicked the Karujyu any change that he got. The Karujyu just stood there taking the hits after Ryu had punched the Karujyu the first time.
"What the heck?" Ryu wondered why the Karujyu didn't try to guard at all. Ryu kept throwing his fists into the Karujyu. As he did this, the glow on his hand and legs started to dim. Yume noticed that Ryu's hands and legs were slowly losing their glow.
"Onii-chan, I think you should stop!" Yume shouted.
"Huh why!" Ryu asked and he threw his fist while it was still glowing faintly but when his hand connected to the Minotaur Karujyu's hide, Ryu felt a huge jolt of pain running up his arm. Ryu paused for a while and then let out a huge wail. "OH MAN! I should've seen that coming!" Ryu shook his hand around in pain. At this moment, the Karujyu made its move and rammed Ryu away.
Ryu skid back on his knees and landed near the Karu Cycle. He used his fist to keep himself from falling. "Onii-chan!" Yume shouted in worry.
"Damn it, I can't win by myself." Ryu grunted. The Karujyu stomped through the ground, making its way towards Ryu. Ryu stayed at his spot calmly, hoping for a miracle to happen. "Something must happen."
"STRIKE!" Shouted the voice of a Karurizer and not Ryu's Karurizer. A green flash of light flew past Yume and Ryu and blasted the Karujyu away. Ryu and Yume looked behind them.
A black boot walked towards the battle. A green suited ranger appear, a Karuranger with a bull theme instead of a lion and dragon theme. The Green Karuranger walked past Yume and stopped when he reached Ryu's spot. "Crushing Spirit, Karugreen." Karugreen announced coldly. He looked at the Minotaur Karujyu and the Karujyu made a step back.
Ryu looked at Karugreen and realized that instead of an actual Karurizer, Karugreen instead had a green brace device which resembled a rounder Karurizer for the wrist on Karugreen's left hand. In place of where Ryu's Karurizer was, was a red and black gun for Karugreen. Karugreen gave one look to Karured, then walked towards the Karujyu.
"What the . . . what the hell are you doing here!" The Minotaur Karujyu stood back in terror upon seeing Karugreen.
"What are you talking about, I'm here to clean up trash like you!" Karugreen shouted and charged at the Karujyu.
The Karujyu threw a fist at Karugreen. Karugreen parried then drew his sidearm gun. Karugreen used a reverse roundhouse kick to push the Karujyu back giving distance for Karugreen to use his gun. Karugreen pushed the trigger and fired a few green shots at the Karujyu. Karugreen then pulled a switch on the edge of his brace changer, revealing a fanned out deck.
Ryu noticed that Karugreen was similar to Karured but Ryu was surprised that instead of a deck on the side of the belt, Karugreen instead has the deck inside the changer.
Karugreen swiped the card through an open edge on the changer. "CRUSHING HAMMER!" The Brace announced. A green glow emerged from the brace and a green war hammer flew out. The hammerhead resembled a green bull head with red eyes and had yellow horns emerging from the sides of the hammerhead. Karugreen grabbed onto the hammer.
The Karujyu looked at Karugreen then attempted to run away. Karugreen however aimed the gun at the Karujyu and opened fire, hitting the Karujyu on the spot. The Karujyu couldn't move due to the pain of the constant shots while Karugreen just kept walking towards the Karujyu. After Karugreen reached where the Karujyu was, Karugreen flipped the gun's handle, which afterwards a red blade emerged from the gun, creating a sword. Karugreen slashed the Karujyu then switched the sword back into a gun. Karugreen fired a few shots then inserted the gun back into its holster. Karugreen grabbed the Crushing Hammer with both hands then started slamming the Karujyu with the hammer. Karugreen pushed the Karujyu back then stabbed the Karujyu with the horns of the Crushing Hammer. Karugreen lifted the Karujyu into the air.
Karugreen opened up his deck then drew another card. Karugreen swiped the card. "HYPERDRIVE!" The Karu Brace announced. Green cards flew out of Karugreen's deck and formed together over Karugreen to create eight feathery wings. Karugreen's body started to glow green. Karugreen held his hammer, and the green glow on his body transferred into his hammer. Karugreen held his Crushing Hammer back while a green ring of energy swirled around Karugreen which at the same time, green electricity sparked around Karugreen. The Minotaur Karujyu came dropping towards Karugreen. Karugreen let out a war cry and bashed the Minotaur Karujyu into the air with the glowing hammer.
Ryu got up. "Can't let this guy have all the fun!" Ryu exclaimed. He ran and jumped in the air. Ryu landed on the Crushing Hammer and made a huge jump. Ryu opened up his deck and drew a card. Ryu threw the card towards the Karu Cycle and the card swiped through the Karurizer.
"HYPERDRIVE!" The Karurizer announced.
Ryu's entire deck flew out of his deck box and created ten fiery feathery wings on Ryu's back. Ryu flew up higher with his wings outstretched. Ryu flew past the Karujyu then turned around midair to face the Karujyu. Ryu flew down towards the Karujyu then got into a flying kick stance. Ryu picked two feathers from his wings and those feathers became cards. Ryu threw those cards down towards the Karurizer on the ground and the cards swiped against the Karurizer.
"BLAZING GRAVE! FINAL KICK!" Announced the Karurizer.
"IKUZE!" Ryu shouted. His body bursted into flames. "Hyper Blazing . . . BREAK!" Ryu announced and the flames on his body scattered across him to create a fiery blast behind him which ignited Ryu again but also propelling Ryu towards the Minotaur Karujyu. Ryu kicked the Karujyu and brought the Karujyu down towards Karugreen.
Karugreen fanned out his deck and drew two cards. He swiped those cards through his Karu Brace. "CRUSHING BLOW! FINAL SMASH!" The Karu Brace announced.
Karugreen spun his War Hammer with his hands then slammed the War Hammer's handle into the ground. The ground around started to shake, green electricity danced around. Karugreen lifted his hammer off the ground and the Crushing Hammer's hammerhead started to project a solid image of growing. Ryu came flying down with the Karujyu in his legs and Karugreen prepared to use the giant hammer to slam the Karujyu.
Karugreen swung his hammer and Ryu kicked the Karujyu onto the hammer. Ryu flew away after planting the Karujyu into the hammer and Karugreen's hammer's impact blasted the Karujyu away.
Ryu landed behind Karugreen while Karugreen fanned out his deck to draw a blank card. "Time to get sealed." Karugreen said coldly. Karugreen threw the card towards the Minotaur Karujyu.
The Minotaur Karujyu cried out when he saw the blank card flying by. "JIKOKU-SAMA!" The Karujyu shouted. "HELP!" A black card came flying by and bashed the blank card away. The black card then boomeranged towards the Karujyu.
Ryu looked up into the sky to see Richter standing on top of the building. "RICHTER!" Ryu shouted while Karugreen shouted 'Jikoku'. "Call him Richter, that names too cool for him." Ryu said to Karugreen. Ryu then dashed towards Yume to make sure Richter doesn't get her.
"So I see you two handled Minotaur quite well." Richter said to Ryu and Karugreen. "Didn't expect Karugreen to come."
"Cut the bull crap." Karugreen said coldly. "Of course I would defeat Minotaur easily, after all, he joined up with your kind instead of being brainwashed."
Yume perked her ears up. "What are you saying?" She asked.
"That Karujyu joined the Ashika on its own accord." Karugreen explained. "Such a Karujyu does not deserve a life!"
"All those other Karujyus that had be captured were weak." Minotaur declared. "I however, since joining of my own accord have gained great power from the Ashika! And now, I SHALL SHOW YOU!"
Richter threw more black cards at the Karujyu. The black cards all bore through into the Minotaur Karujyu's body. The Karujyu's body flashed black, then the Karujyu grew and transformed into a giant Minotaur Karujyu without a leg but instead a long tail and the Karujyu flew with giant decayed wings. The Minotaur's head also looked much more ferocious with fangs and pupil-less red eyes. The giant Karujyu fired giant black orbs from its mouth.
"ONII-CHAN!" Yume shouted and got off the Karu Cycle and grabbed the Karurizer from the bike. She grabbed Ryu's hand and dragged Ryu away from the spot. Karugreen dodged a black orb and followed Yume and Ryu while Richter disappeared from the spot. The Karu Cycle was destroyed from one of the black orbs.
"Great." Karugreen grunted. "I didn't expect that thing to became so giant."
"Ok then, looks like it's my turn again." Ryu said. "Sis, my Karurizer." Yume nodded and handed the Karurizer to Ryu. Ryu opened up his deck box and drew a card. Ryu swiped the card across the Karurizer.
"SUMMONING KARUTENJYU!" The Karurizer announced. As it turned out, the card had a picture of Karuryon, "KARURYON! APPEAR!"
A fiery portal appeared in the sky, then Karuryon jumped through the portal and landed on top of a building. Karuryon let out a roar.
Karugreen was surprised to see Karuryon. "You have a Karutenjyu!"
"Yeah why, don't you have one?" Ryu asked Karugreen. Karugreen didn't answer Ryu and Ryu didn't really care. "Ok then Karugreen, since you're a Karuranger and I'm a red ranger, I order you to make sure my sister is safe while I take care of the giant decayed Karujyu."
"Don't order me around." Karugreen growled.
"Who cares!" Ryu shouted. "I'm the only one who can handle this at the moment so I don't really think that you really have a say in this!"
"Tsk, fine." Karugreen said.
Ryu jumped high into the air and landed on Karuryon's head. "Ok then, looks like I'll be piloting you today." Ryu said then his body sunk into Karuryon's head. Ryu landed in a seat inside a futuristic cockpit. Ryu grabbed two joysticks after inserting the Karurizer on a slot in the center of the cockpit. "Time to kick some ass!" Ryu pushed the joysticks forward and Karuryon roared into action.
The decayed Karujyu fired black orbs all over the city. Ryu pushed a button on the Karurizer and Karuryon started firing fireballs at the black orbs to keep the black orbs away from the city. Karuryon jumped in the air ready to slash the Karujyu, only for the Karujyu to use its giant arms to bash Karuryon away.
"ONII-CHAN!" Yume cried out and gasped.
"Geez, does that guy really think one Karutenjyu would be able to take out a giant Karujyu?" Karugreen said in disbelief.
Karuryon rolled all over the ground. "Oh geez, should've realized that there was no way that Karuryon would be able to beat up a monster that's even bigger than a regular super robot." Ryu got Karuryon to get up. "But oh well." Ryu opened up his deck. "Let's see what will work?" Ryu took out all the cards in his deck, and at the same time, the giant Karujyu came flying by and blasted Karuryon and bashed Karuryon. Ryu's body rocked violently as Karuryon was being slapped around by the Karujyu. Ryu dropped all his cards. "God damn it!" Ryu shouted. Ryu grabbed hold of the controls and piloted Karuryon to run away from the Karujyu. At the same time, Ryu tried to pick up as many cards as he could. After Ryu touched the Dragon Card, the card started to glow red. Ryu looked at the Dragon Card and wondered why it was glowing, then the card flew out of Ryu's hand. The card moved around in the light and the image of the card shifted into a picture of what looked to be a Dragon mecha similar to Karuryon in design. The card swiped itself across the Karurizer.
"HENGE! DRAGON!" The Karurizer announced.
Karuryon let out a Lion's roar that quickly changed into a Dragon's howl. Karuryon's back flipped itself to cover Karuryon's lion head and the back had a tail that extended out. The legs of Karuryon connected to Karuryon's body and the rear feet of Karuryon extended to create dragonic legs. Karuryon's front legs connected to the back of the opened up back of Karuryon and extended out dragonic arms. A long dragon neck emerged from the back of Karuryon and extended out a red dragon head. The newly formed Karuryon Dragon mode roared.
Karugreen and Yume looked at Karuryon Dragon in shock. "When could a Karutenjyu do that?" Karugreen gasped.
"What do you mean?" Yume asked Karugreen.
"I have never heard of a Karutenjyu that could transform into a secondary form before." Karugreen replied. "But . . . can this Karutenjyu beat the giant Karujyu?"
Ryu looked Karuryon Dragon mode. "Whoa, this is . . . AWESOME!" Ryu shouted. He quickly gathered up all his cards and looked at the Dragon card that was now in the middle of his deck. "Thank you." Ryu said to the Dragon card hoping that the Dragon Karujyu could hear him. Ryu grabbed onto the controls of Karuryon. "Ok then, TAKE FLIGHT!" Ryu pulled back the joysticks and Karuryon flew in the air. The Karujyu charged towards Karuryon and blasted orbs at Karuryon. Ryu maneuvered Karuryon around the orbs. "You may still be bigger, but I still have an advantage by being smaller!" Ryu shouted. Ryu drew a card from his fanned out deck and swiped it across the Karurizer.
"BLAZING GRAVE!" The Karurizer announced.
Karuryon fired giant fire beams at the Karujyu. The Fire Beams scattered apart to destroy the black orbs the Karujyu fired and blasted the wings of the Karujyu. The Karujyu screeched in pain and attempted a last ditch effort to scratch Karuryon. Ryu maneuvered Karuryon away.
"And now, this will clinch it!" Ryu shouted and jumped out of the cockpit but not before taking his Karurizer with him. Ryu opened up his deck box and his cards were magically back in the deck. Ryu drew two cards.
Ryu swiped the cards across the Karurizer. "FINAL BLAST! MAXIMUM STRIKE!"
Ryu crouched and held his hands out. Card like images emerged and trailed towards the Karujyu. Ryu jumped in the air and two giant fiery wings emerged from his back. Ryu jumped off of Karuryon's head and Karuryon blasted Ryu forward with a fire breath. "ORYAH!" Ryu flew through the card images and each time he passed a card image, he reappeared in the next card image. Each time he passes by a certain number of cards, the cards behind him then disappeared but reappear again at the front of the trail. The Karujyu attempted to fly away with the last of its strength, but the cards trailed after the Karujyu. Ryu kept flying by the cards, but he couldn't quite catch up with the Karujyu, and then finally, the cards stopped trailing the Karujyu, but instead, a card reappeared in front of the Karujyu which then gave way for a portal for Ryu to come through with a blazing flying side kick. "MAXIMUM BLAZING BREAK!" Ryu announced after getting a kick in. Afterwards, a card image appeared in front of Ryu and Ryu flew into the card image. Card images surrounded the Karujyu and Ryu flew out of one which then after kicking the Karujyu flew into another one and the process continued with Ryu continually kicking the Karujyu with blazing kicks.
Ryu ended with a kick to the Karujyu's face. Ryu zipped past the Karujyu and skid his feet across a building to stop himself. Explosions started flying off of the Karujyu's body. Ryu opened up his deck and drew a blank card. "HERE!" Ryu threw the card at the head of the falling decayed Karujyu. The Karujyu swirled around and entered the card, ending with an image of the Minotaur Karujyu on the card. The card flew back to Ryu's hand. Ryu jumped back onto Karuryon's head and Karuryon flew back towards the ground and quickly changed back into Karuryon Lion mode after Ryu jumped off of Karuryon's dragon head.
Ryu held out the Minotaur card while he walked towards Yume and Karugreen. "Hey look guys, I actually kicked this guy while he was giant!" Ryu exclaimed excitedly.
Karugreen let out a huff, then drew his gun. Karugreen shot Ryu's hand.
"YOW!" Ryu yelped and the card flew up into the air.
Karugreen fired more shots which bore a hole into the card. More shots fired out and the card was blasted into nothingness. Yume and Ryu looked in shock as the remains of the card just floated down from the sky.
Ryu caught a piece of the destroyed card in his hands. "You . . . WHY DID YOU DO THAT!" Ryu sharply yelled at Karugreen.
"Like I said, that Karujyu doesn't deserve to live." Karugreen replied walking past Ryu. "Any Karujyu who has no honor but to run away and join with the Ashika, deserve to die, and the only way to rid of an immortal Karujyu is to destroy them when they're cards."
"THEY'RE STILL LIVING BEINGS!" Ryu shouted remembering to the time when the Dragon Karujyu had thanked him, how the Dragon Karujyu, almost like a child, writ on the dirt for Ryu and Yume to see. "How can you be so cruel to them!"
"Oh my, is the bastard of a boy all of a sudden speaking like a hero?" Karugreen sarcastically mocked Ryu.
"Why you!" Ryu opened up his deck drew his Blazing Swords card. The Blazing Swords emerged and Ryu charged at Karugreen.
Karugreen drew his gun and blasted Ryu at point blank range. Afterwards Karugreen switched his gun to sword mode and slashed Ryu without looking at Ryu. Karugreen finally spun around and slashed Ryu across the chest, knocking Ryu backwards. Ryu dropped both of his swords and the Karured suit dematerialized.
Ryu panted heavily and got off his back. Ryu crawled towards one of his swords and picked it up. Ryu tried to get up but fell on his knees. Ryu's sword clattered across the ground when the sword tip stabbed into the ground to keep Ryu up. "Damn you, damn you, DAMN YOU!" Ryu shouted.
"Onii-chan stop it!" Yume shouted and ran to grab hold of Ryu. "You'll only get hurt if you try to attack him!"
"Listen to the girl." Karugreen said. "I really don't want to hurt you without your suit on."
"SHUT UP!" Ryu shouted. "You're already willing to destroy one living being, what's another for you huh!"
Karugreen sighed. "You're really not worth it." He said. He continued his walk. "If you keep holding onto that notion, you'll get hurt one of these days, remember that."
Ryu's breath continued to be loud enough for Yume to hear. Yume turned to her brother and could see that one of Ryu's eyes appeared to be holding back tears. "Onii-chan." Yume said worryingly. Ryu sniffed and his other eye started to put on the waterworks. Ryu was trying really hard not to cry in front of his sister.
I promised myself I wasn't going to cry anymore. Ryu said, thinking back to an image of the past, his father walking away, while he ran to his father and held onto his father's leg. "Don't leave me daddy!" Young Ryu cried. And Ryu remembered, seeing a red ranger with a Katana, fending off monsters and it was during that moment that Ryu promised himself that he would never again cry again. And yet, at this moment, the pain of being hurt badly, the pain of thinking of how Karugreen had treated the Minotaur Karujyu card which so happens to be the same species as the Dragon Karujyu that Ryu had grown attached to, Ryu couldn't help but want to cry.
Yume held onto her brother. "It's ok Onii-chan." Yume said calmly. "You can cry if you want to."
Ryu let out a whimper, then he started to bawl. He sobbed and wailed loudly while in his sister's arms. Yume held onto her brother, unable to remember when Ryu had last cried, and wanted to do anything to make Ryu feel better.
...
Ryuuji was sitting inside a room drawing with a pen, when all of a sudden the pen snapped in two. "Oh geez!" Ryuuji shouted as the ink got all over the drawing.
"Hinote-sensei, what's wrong?" Asked a man with glasses who peeked in to the room.
"Nothing, a pen just broke . . . which means I got to start over." Ryuuji groaned shook his head. "God damn it." Ryuuji looked at the pen then wondered why the pen broke in the first place. "You know, if it's an omen for bad luck, shouldn't a cup have broken instead?"
"Well that should be the case." Said the man with the glasses.
"WHOA!" Ryuuji jumped back in shock. "You were still there!" Ryuuji's shout made the man with the glasses jump back in shock as well.
"Well yeah, I mean every one in here finds the stuff you tell to be quite interesting." The man with the glasses said.
"Yeah, it was even more fun to hear you talk about how you had to pick up your kids when they were younger." Said a chuckling chubby man outside who was working with other men on manga pages.
Ryuuji let out a chuckle, and then Ryuuji remembered something. "OH CRAP!" Ryuuji shouted. "I got to pick up some people today!" Ryuuji dashed out of his room. "I'm sorry guys, I'll come back as soon as I can!"
"Huh, who could you be picking up this late?" Asked a man with spiky hair. "Besides, your kids are older now and both should be home right about now."
"I'm actually picking up some people coming in on a train." Ryuuji said fumbling in his pockets for his car keys.
"Eh?" Asked every one inside the room.
...
The gold and black steam train came into the station again. Out of the train came a blonde boy with messy hair. He came out wearing a black jacket along with white pants. A girl with a ponytail tied with a blue colored ribbon jumped out of the train. She had a white bonnet on and was wearing a pink jacket with a white skirt.
The boy with the green jacket leaned against a wall. The hat covered his face. "Looks like you two have finally come." The boy said.
"Mah, would've been here sooner but you know, the train takes a long time to arrive." The blonde hair boy said.
"So this is the what the city looks like." The girl said looking down towards the city in which all the lights were now flashing. "Looks pretty nice."
"So where's our ride?" The blonde boy asked.
"Beats me." The boy with the green jacket shrugged. "I just took a walk around the city and walked back here because I had no idea where I was going."
A red car pulled over and Ryuuji exited from the car. "Sorry I'm late." Ryuuji said trying to come out but only to get pulled back because he forgot to take off his seat belt. Ryuuji unbuckled and fell out of the car. "YEE!" Ryuuji fell down the stairs and landed in an awkward position. Ryuuji got back up. "Now then, sorry I'm late."
The boy with the green jacket let out a grunt upon seeing Ryuuji's face. "You . . ."
Ryuuji opened his eyes and noticed the boy with green was staring at Ryuuji intensely. "What's up?"
The boy turned his head away. "Nothing, I thought you were someone else, but your eyes and your nose are different. And you're taller."
"Huh?" Ryuuji wondered what the boy was talking about. That suspiciously sounds a lot like my son. "Anyway," Ryuuji gave a bow, "welcome, to the city that you shall call your new home, I hope you'll find things to your liking."
...
Teach me Ryunosuke-sensei!
"Actually dad, can I just start this chapter out by asking why there were people calling you Ryuuji-sensei?" Ryu asked sixteen year old Ryuuji.
"No, you may not know." Ryuuji replied.
"Ok then . . ." Ryu looked around. "WHERE'S MY DARLING LITTLE SISTER!"
"It's just the two of us today." Ryuuji said to Ryu. "So hurry up and talk."
"Fine, fine, fine." Ryu muttered. "Anyway first things first, let's get this straight. This fic is NOT a rewrite of Kodenranger. It is an alternate fic that EXISTS because of Kodenranger. If this was a rewrite then I would be Kodenred and not Karured so there's no way for this to be a Kodenranger remake. You are an idiot if you thought it was especially when the first chapter actually made it clear that it was an alternate fic to Kodenranger, NOT a rewrite. And yes, I meant offense, but not so much Redryuranger11, he never really means any offense to anything he says."
"Ok can we NOT talk about the readers!" Ryuuji exclaimed. "This section is supposed to explain about the arsenal of the Kodenrangers!"
"Don't you mean Karurangers?" Ryu asked.
"ARGH! BOTH!" Ryuuji shouted.
"Man, you know this is SEALING Sentai KARU Ranger, not ELEMENTAL Sentai KODEN Ranger, right?" Ryu asked.
"YES! I know! But this segment exists in both fics!" Ryuuji hissed. "I think it's pretty easy to confuse the two of the."
"Only you man, only you."
"HEY YOU EXIST IN BOTH FICS AS THE RED RANGER!" Ryuuji shouted.
"Hey dad, aren't we supposed to talk about the Karuranger arsenal?" Ryu said with a big smile.
Ryuuji jumped back, "Argh, you little bastard, making me seem like the bad guy huh?"
"Yes." Ryu nodded. Ryu turned towards the camera. "Today we shall talk about the Karutenjyu." Ryu pulled down a screen and a projector played a slide show depicting Karuryon in both Lion and Dragon form. "Unlike most mechas in which a mecha would have a non-humanoid form and a humanoid warrior form, Karuryon instead has a Lion Form and a Dragon Form."
"It still bothers me why it's called Karuryon." Ryuuji muttered while he nodded.
"Well the Ryon part is meant to be a pun on Ryu which means Dragon and Leon which is a name that is usually associated with lions. And Karuryon actually turns out to be both."
"Well you are after RYU, so it would be odd for you to not be associated with a dragon." Ryuuji remarked. "But I wonder if the other Karutenjyus would have odd names like Karuryon."
"Nope, it's just Karuryon, all the others will have regular names." Ryu replied.
"How do you know that? I'm the mentor and even I don't know that!"
"I as the main character can break the fourth wall to get information that I want." Ryu replied regally.
"Hey that reminds me, you seem to have broken less fourth walls this chapter." Ryuuji commented.
"It's something that's going to go on for the future." Ryu said. "Can't rely too much on Fourth Wall Humor."
"Oh and look out in the future for a fic in which I'm the main character that serves as a prequel to this fic." Ryuuji said to the camera.
"SAY WHAT!" Ryu shouted.
"This chapter already alluded to it a few times, so hopefully one day it'll come into fruition, so until then, see you all later and watch for the next chapter!"
"HEY THAT'S MY LINE!" Ryu shouted. Ryu then sighed. "I still wonder who the next rangers are. Well we'll just have to find out next time."
...
Hope you guys like this chapter and yes I'll say this one more. This fic has nothing to do with my hatred for the original Kodenranger, it is written in the same vain as Kageranger and Kariranger, but involves the story of Kodenranger as a plot device. Please Review!
