Chapter Four, Departures
A Cell Phone Dimensional Beast was unleashed on Tokyo.
Aya called the Jetman who had now started living civilian lives, but still were affected by Birdonic Waves. Ryu and Kaori were having a picnic with their children in the country. Ryu's cell phone went off.
"Ryu, the vyram are back."
"What?"
"I can't believe it, but they are attacking the city. We need you and Kaori right away!"
"Got it!"
Kaori got up from playing hide and seek with her kids, Rie and Yuuki, and walked up to her husband.
"What's wrong, honey?" she asked.
"Vyram."
"I thought we defeated them."
"There might be some left. We need to go, now."
"But what about the kids?"
"Hmm… we can't bring them with us."
"Kids, who wants to go for a limo ride?"
"Limo ride! Alright!" said Rie and Yuuki.
"I thought you said we wouldn't spoil them," said Ryu.
"Hey, I wasn't that spoiled when you met me, remember?"
Ryu looked the other way. Kaori pretended to be angry and walked away, stomping. She came back and hugged him.
Kaori later instructed the chauffeur to drive the kids around the countryside a couple of times, and if they get bored, to take them to McDonald's (yes, they have McDonald's in Japan). They would only be gone a few hours, she assured him.
Kaori and Ryu waved goodbye to their children. They then flagged down a Sky Force Helicopter, which took them straight to the epicenter.
Raita was bringing in the tomato harvest from his farm. He could tell that they were going to be his sweetest yet.
Satsuki ran out of the house, holding a phone.
"Honey, it's Aya."
Raita picked up the phone.
"Raita, the Vyram are attacking again. I'm sending a chopper, we need you now!"
Raita had gotten accustomed to living his quiet, peaceful, country life with Satsuki and their four kids. But, like what happened twenty years ago, he had to protect the Earth.
"Yes, Chief," said Raita.
Satsuki knew what was going to happen. She gave her husband a tight embrace, and tried not to cry. But she knew that he was going to come out alive.
The helicopter landed, crushing the crops on the field.
"Not my tomatoes, no!" exclaimed Raita as he ran to the chopper.
"There's always next year! I love you!"
"I love you too!" said Raita, shouting over the noise of the helicopter's blades.
He looked at Satsuki and the farm from the helicopter, as they both got smaller, and smaller.
"I smell a hit record!" said Ako's producer, "Now how many would that be?"
"Hmm… thirteen… I suppose," said Ako as she put down her headphones, "Can we do another take?"
The music started playing, as Ako put on her headphones, and Ako was about to start singing when an assistant came in.
"Phone call for Ako-chan."
"Can't you see we're recording here?" shouted the producer.
"But it's urgent."
Ako took off her headphones and went into the control room. She picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Ako, it's urgent! The Vyram are back."
"Chokan, I'm recording here!"
"Ako!"
"Kidding, kidding, where?"
"Actually, just a few blocks away from your recording studio. Wait, Ako, tell everyone there to turn off their cell phones. You're too close to the epicenter."
"Wait, why?"
Suddenly, the cell phone of a technician started glowing, and vibrating.
"Dammit, Kazumi, I thought I told you that even if your phone is on vibrate, it still makes a noise!"
Ako grabbed the phone, and with all her might (and some effects of the Birdonic Waves) threw it out of the tech booth's window. It then exploded. It was a small, tiny explosion, but it could have blown off someone's fingers.
"That's why," Ako thought to herself.
"See, Ako-chan agrees with me," said the producer.
"Can I take a break?" asked Ako.
"Sure," said everyone in the studio, unanimously.
Ako ran out of the studio, and struggled through her adoring fans. She then went to her motorcycle, put on her helmet, and went to the epicenter. Admist her, more cellphones exploded, tiny firecrackers.
She saw the Cell Phone Dimensional Beast. It was a giant, deformed iPhone attacking people. This upset Ako greatly because she was a mac fan. Suddenly, another motorcycle rammed into hers'.
"Isn't it my little Blue Swallow?"
The driver, who wasn't wearing a helmet was svelte, wearing a black leather jumpsuit, with one sleeve cut off, the other sleeve in white. Her hair was long and black, and had silver bangs. She wore blue lipstick and silver eyeshadow.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Rin, the new Vyram."
"Wait, there's more of you?"
"You and your sentai team will pay for what you did to me. Now, do you want to get this over with quickly, or do you want to make this hard and painful?"
"Neither!" said Ako, as she rammed into the side of Rin's bike, pushing her out of her bike, and catapulting her into the sidewalk.
"Man," said Rin to herself, "I need to work on this."
Ako road her bike into several Grinam Soldiers, running them over and destroying them. She finally approached the Cell Phone dimensional beast, and was about to run him over, but of course, that would be too easy. Ako hit him and went flying.
And speaking of flying, the two helicopters, one carrying Ryu and Kaori, and the other carrying Raita landed on buildings, across from each other, and looking down on the mess. They got out.
"Miss Kaori, Ryu!" exclaimed Raita, delighted to see his friends.
"Raita!" shouted Kaori back, delighted.
"Ready to do this, guys?" asked Ryu.
"Believe it or not, I've been waiting years to do this again," said Kaori.
"I hope I can still do this," said Raita.
"CROSS CHANGER!" shouted Ryu, as he pressed a button on a braclet he was wearing, causing red light to envelope him and he became Red Hawk.
"CROSS CHANGER!" shouted Raita, doing the same, as yellow light enveloped him, and he became Yellow Owl. "Yes!"
"CROSS CHANGER!" shouted Kaori, doing the same, as a white and pinkish light enveloped her and she became White Swan. "Still fits like a charm."
They all jumped off the buildings, flying, forming a circle, and gliding to the ground.
"Miss Ako!" exclaimed Raita, as he saw his teammate lying on the ground in pain.
"Ako!" shouted Kaori, as she ran to her side.
"I'm okay!" said Ako, standing up. "This is going to be fun. CROSS CHANGER!"
Blue light enveloped Ako, and she became Blue Swallow.
"Red Hawk!"
"Yellow Owl!"
"White Swan!"
"Blue Swallow!"
"Chojin Sentai—"
"Jetman!"
Doing their old pose and roll call felt good again.
And they attacked.
"WING GAUNTLET!" exclaimed Ryu, donning a wing gauntlet, as he flew through the minions, punching them. "FALCON PUNCH
"Remember our attack Miss Kaori?"
"Of course! Let's do it!"
Kaori jumped in the air, holding onto Raita's arm. They hovered and exclaimed, "DOUBLE KICK!" as they kicked the Grinam soldiers.
"Beak Smasher!" exclaimed Ako, as she held a gun, and shot some Grinam. "Still got it," she said.
"BRINGER SWORD!" shouted Ryu as he struck several Grinam.
Suddenly, a man wearing a black suit jumpsuit, half of it armored, black sunglasses or opague goggles, with black hair with silver spikes, and a long cape, shot at Ryu.
"Red Hawk, I presume."
"Who are you?"
"I am Jag, one half of the new Vyram. You sentai will pay for what you did to me!"
"What did we ever do to you?"
Jag smirked.
"Besides destroy your predecessors," thought Ryu.
While Ryu was thinking, Jag took out his gun and was about to shoot at Ryu when Raita exclaimed, pulling out a boulder from nowhere:
"OWL TOWERING ATTACK!"
He threw the boulder at Jag, stunning him, for Ryu to fly, slamming him into a car.
"He's not going to be pleased," said Jag.
"Who's he?" asked Ryu.
Suddenly, Rin road her motorcycle through, picking up Jag.
"No one!" she shouted, as she road away.
"Cell Phone Dimensional Beast, attack the Jetman!" ordered Jag as he road away, holding onto Rin's butt for support. The Jetman couldn't see Rin slapping him as they escaped.
"Ryu, what are they talking about?" asked Kaori.
"Nothing of our concern as of this moment."
The Cell Phone Dimensional Beast made his way to the Jetman.
"Time to finish him off!" said Ryu.
"Let's use the Fire Bazoo—" Ako was about to finish the sentence, but she remembered that they couldn't because they were sadly missing a member. A pause followed.
"Sorry…"
"It's okay, Ako," said Kaori, comfortingly, "Why don't we do the bird bomber attack?"
"Okay, Bird Bomber!" exclaimed Ryu.
Each of the Jetman combined their Bird Blasters and Bringer Swords to make Jet Hand Cannons. The struck a pose and fired at the Cell Phone Monster which was approaching them slowly do to the bad connection. Like really slowly. Then the Cell Phone Monster Exploded. But of course, it wasn't over yet.
The dimensional bug that was attached to the cell phone revived and enlarged the monster.
"Chokan!" said Ryu into his Corresponder, "We need the Jet Machines!"
"Right!" said Chokan, back at the base, launching the Jet Machines—all except Jet Condor. After the final battle, the Jet Machines were repaired, just in case.
The team went into their individual jets. Both the Jet Hawk and the Jet Swan shot lasers at the Cell Phone Monster. The Jet Owl shot lasers at it as well, then used its claw to pick up a boulder, and threw it on the monster. Jet Swallow detached its wings.
"WING CUTTER! That's what you get for defacing Apple!"
The wing/blade hit the monster. But it bounced back, barely leaving a mark.
"Nothing is working, Ryu," said Kaori.
The monster struck the jets, causing them to tumble out of control.
"We need to form Jet Icarus," said Raita.
"But, we can't," said Ryu.
Another pause. Suddenly, the Jet Condor glided into the scene and shot at the beast.
"No, it can't be!" exclaimed Kaori. "Is it…"
"Sorry, Kaori, it's only your Chokan!"
"So cool!" exclaimed Ako, "I mean disappointing," she said, thinking of Kaori, "I mean, wait, I mean cool. Chokan is totally cool."
"Quit trying to save face, Miss Ako," laughed Raita.
"I still got it," thought Aya to herself.
"Chokan," said Ryu, "Let's do it!"
Both the Jet Hawk and the Jet Condor flew side by side, both shooting out lasers.
"DOUBLE JET BEAM!"
They stunned him.
"Let's finish it!" said Raita.
"I'm not a Jetman, so I don't have the full power to form Jet Icarus," said Aya.
"Then we'll form Icarus Haken!" said Ryu, "Fusion! Jet Scram!"
The Jet Machines combined and became a giant jet: the Icarus Haken. They all gathered in their shared cockpit. Chokan still looked as polished as ever, albeit with a few wrinkles.
"Let's do Jet Phoenix!" she suggested.
"JET PHOENIX!"
Fire enveloped the Icarus Haken, as it flew into the giant cell phone, destroying it for good. Chokan was tired, sweating.
"I'm getting too old for this shit."
