Author's Comments:
Welcome back to the second chapter of ToGo Sentai Crossenger!. Hope you all enjoyed the revised version of the first one and I apologise for so many updates on it *sweatdrop*, still learning my way around the site editor (particularly with the horizontal line that separates paragraphs), plus I had some "connection" errors when uploading the chapter. Enough rambling from me and let's get the disclaimers and previous episode outta the way. The Crojector has now been rewritten as a medical syringe - me and the original author discussed some confusion with the device and the original author wants it to be a full on medical syringe - rather than one built into a smartphone.
Disclaimer - I do not own Super Sentai or anything else (music / Sentai wise) in this story. This is a story that I adopted from another user and anything written is based upon that concept. Once again, any Sentai characters or music mentioned belong to Toei and their respective singers / songwriters.
Let's begin!
Previously on ToGo Sentai Crossenger
With alien intruders trying to break into the Interplanetary Space Pirates Defense Force space station, five young teenagers - Mai, Joan, Lyle, Dionne and Ari - have been transformed into ToGo Sentai Crossenger by the ex-captain of the Gokaigers, Captain Marvelous. With their adventure already beginning, the young team are introduced to their first mission: to take on and stop the alien intruders from breaking into the base. Now, proceeding to the second mission!
Year: 2040
Location: Somewhere on the grounds of the I.S.P.D.F Suspension Bridge #1
Time: 9:20am (two days later)
"Mou~! How many of these things are there!?" Lyle groans with frustration as the team shelters themselves from enemy blasts.
"We've been fighting them for two days straight!" mentions a panicking Dionne, hiding in between Lyle and Joan, who were firing bullets from their Crojectors from behind the debris they were using as a shield.
"We still haven't heard anything from Mai or Ari" Joan adds "They said that they were going to check on our parents and the other Sentai members and call us when they got to them"
A flashback begins showing the post-transformed Crossengers, without helmets, hiding behind a wall, each had wounds and scratches from their previous round of fighting and are out of breath. Mai pokes her head around the corner and spots a clearing within the battlefield.
"One or two of us will have to go and check-in on everyone" she announces
"Are you crazy Mai?" Dionne asks her "What happens if the enemy spots you?"
The rest of the team nod in agreement, but could not prepare themselves for Mai's answer.
"Then, I'll-" she stopped to think about the question and the team turn to face her, Mai smirked before answering "I'll use Jetman to fly over the battlefield!"
"HUH!?"
"Navi told me... that we're able to use the previous teams as the Crojector is based upon the Gokaigers' Mobirates" she explained to them "If I use Jetman to get to the other side and into the base, then, there'll be less chance of you guys getting hurt and will also give you a chance to counter-attack while they're distracted"
"It's worth a shot" Ari commented, surprising everyone
"That's a little out of character for you Ari. Usually you'd take caution" Joan said
The others smile while Ari gives them a nervous grin. They suddenly duck down as a hail of bullets are fired overhead. When the firing stops, Mai gets up and grabs Ari's hand, making him jump.
"You're coming with me" she told him, smirking
"Huh?"
"We'll handle the rest here" Lyle comments
Mai gives the other three a thumbs up and turns to Ari, who nods nervously. The two then turn around to face the direction they were aiming for. With their Crojectors turned on, Mai and Ari then take two more Ranger Keys from inside pockets of their suits and ready the syringe-like object for their transformation.
"Now Cross Changing - Please Insert a Ranger Key" the Crojector seemingly spoke, with a announcer tone that could belong to a train station or a airport loudspeaker.
They flip open the two new Ranger Keys they were now holding - Mai had a red key which had a hawk design, while Ari had a black key which was based on a condor. Both of the suits drawn onto the keys had a vintage feeling to them.
"Cross Change!" Mai and Ari both said
The two then insert the keys into the keyhole of their Crojectors and turned them to the left. A small needle pops out and pricks their palms like when they first transformed. A flash of light-blue light covers them, before exploding and revealing them in new suits, that were widely different from their original ones.
"JE~~TMAN!" was announced by the Crojector.
"Red Hawk!" "Black Condor!" Mai and Ari both announce their Jetman names and quickly pose before flying off over the battlefield.
The alien commander looks up to see the flying pair. He tried to get a couple of shots at them but missed. Frustrated, he sent out a order to his troop.
"Hmph. What a cheeky thing to do. Archers, FIRE!" He ordered.
Several of the aliens stop shooting and draw out futuristic bows and arrows upon the command to fire and readied their arrows. Mai and Ari both look down to where the archers were positioned and then at each other with surprised looks on their faces.
"Shimatta!"
As the archers were about to let go of their bows, bullets were shot at their feet, making them drop their weapons. They look up to see the other three Crossengers, pointing their Crojectors in gun-mode at them.
"Warui. We can't let you do that" Lyle says, readying his Crojector for another round of fire.
"IKE. MAI, ARI!" Dionne shouts, as the Jetman-Crossengers disappear into the station.
The alien commander then throws a tantrum, whacking a couple of his troop soldiers.
"Now. Our question to you" Joan begins to speak as more soldiers gather around the commander, "Who the heck are you!? And what is your reason to be attacking our station!?"
"HA! As if we're gonna tell you that easily. Get 'em!"
The alien troop begins to fire at the three remaining Crossengers - who scatter themselves around the battlefield. The flashback ends with the Crossengers begin thrown to the hiding place they were at currently…
Lyle, Dionne and Joan all duck down as another hail of bullets were being fired overhead. All of a sudden, a bomb was thrown beside them. The three look at each other, wide-eyed before splitting in different directions to get away from it. The explosion sends them flying and they land on the ground just as another bomb was thrown.
"Shimatta!. We can't die in our debut!" Lyle groans.
"Dammit!"
As the second bomb was about to explode, a flash of silver light swoops down and lands in front of them, shielding the fallen trio from the blast.
"GOOOOOOKAISILVER, GOOOOOLD MODE~!"
"Daijoubu minna-san?"
"GAI-SAN!"
Two familiar looking flying silhouettes come into view and land by either side of GokaiSilver. A flash of light blue light reveals two familiar looking Crossenger suits. The person in the red suit turned to face the trio and a flash of white light reveals them helmetless.
"Sorry to keep you waiting"
"Mai! Ari! You're okay!" Dionne exclaims, happy to see her comrades unscathed.
"Warui for not calling. Signal lines connecting our Crojectors to the main base have been shut down by the first blast" Ari explained, also helmetless.
"So that what it was?"
Mai and Ari, along with Gai all nodded before turning around to face the enemy troop. The Crossengers step forward and got into their group positions - with Mai in the middle, Joan and Ari on her right, along with Lyle and Dionne on her left.
"Now. Tell us who you are!"
The commander of the enemy troop gave an annoyed expression to the team.
"Well. If you must know - we are…."
(Insert Theme - Flag by Noisemaker)
*As the song's instrumental opening plays, various grayscale images show the Crossengers being sent back in time before bursting in colour as they land next to the Gokaigers (from 2011), who were casually relaxing in a park*
Spread your wings before it breaks,
Spread the word before it's too late
*We see various shots of the Crossengers explaining who they are to the Gokaigers quickly*
No one cares where we are,
The day has come, take the promise land
*The screen fades to black and a white flash reveals a logo with "CROSSENGER!" being yelled in the background. Another instrumental part of the song plays as the logo fades away and quick images of transformed Crossengers are shown*
Give me a road straight as a line,
This life is my own to design
*The Crossengers are shown in civilian clothing in half-body shots. Mai in a red coat, Joan in a blue jacket with various zippers, Lyle in a yellow Navy-styled jacket, Dionne in a plaid green jacket with a purple hoodie underneath and Ari in a black Victorian-era styled suit. Each had Ranger Keys in their respective colours behind them*
It will never be be old, it never curves
But she tells me "there's no such thing"
*A flash after Ari shows an aerial shot of the Gokaigers as Dekarangers fighting Zangyack alongside the Crossengers*
In life there are ups and down
Our ships will be waving now
*Both teams look up to see the GokaiGalleon in the sky*
They're the ones that call it white flag
When you're proud to wear this dog tag
*As if on-cue, a couple of giant Zangyack appear and the Gokaigers battle them in the Gokai-Oh whilst the Crossengers fight the smaller Zangyack*
Remember, Remember
We'll never, We'll never,
Surrender, Surrender
*As the Gokai-Oh takes down the giant Zangyack, the Crossengers Cross-Change into Goranger. The scene changes to inside the Gokai-Oh were the Gokaigers lean over their steering-wheels in surprise*
So just lead the way
*The scene changes and shows the two teams in civilian clothing regrouping, however, are unable to have a break as more Zangyack surround them*
This is how we raise our flag
This is how we take it back
*Both teams transform into their main suits and rush towards the Zangyack, but with each of the Crossengers teaming up with their respective parent(s) with GokaiSilver in Gold Mode*
We just - We just take what we lost
We just - We just take what we lost
*Cross Red, GokaiRed and GokaiPink transform into Timeranger and begin taking out their own part of the Zangyack army*
This is how we raise our flag
This is how we take it back
*The rest of the two teams load the Galleon Buster using the Crossenger Ranger Keys with Blue Cross leading alongside GokaiBlue and GokaiSilver performing a Gokai Legendary Dream strike*
So well you gotta find the way
*The blast takes out the Zangyack and the Timeranger trio rejoin the rest of the two teams*
So well you gotta find the way
*As the sun sets, the two teams head back to the GokaiGalleon and the logo appears again*
So well you gotta find the way
"The NEO-Zangyack!" the commander exclaims, as the opening song fades away.
GokaiSilver looks up in surprise, before stepping out in front of Mai and Joan.
"NEO-Zangyack? But I thought the we got rid of them!"
"Clearly not every single one. Now, that you're here GokaiSilver, you'll shall be the first Sentai member to fall!" the command further explains before aiming at Gai.
The Crossengers quickly step in front of Gai, taking out their Crojectors and Ranger Keys.
"Have you forgotten about us, ba~ka?" Lyle asks, mocking the commander.
"Gai-san, go and warn the others about the NEO-Zangyack. We'll take care of this clown!"
"Yosh!. Be careful, minna-san!" Gai exclaims before sprinting away.
As Gai hurried to warn the other Gokaigers and other Sentai members, the Crossengers looked back at commander. They ready their Crojectors in one hand, with a Ranger Key in the other.
"Minna, ready?" Mai asked, receiving a nod from the team, before staring back at the commander. "Yosh!. The five of us together are the Crossengers! CROSS CHANGE!"
"CROSS CHANGE!"
The needle of the Crojector slightly pricks the Crossengers palms - allowing the power of their suits to be awakened from within them. A white glow covers the team before bursting into the five multi-coloured suits.
Mai posed with her left arm across her chest and right arm in a semi-uppercut position, with her right leg slightly bent, "The Fiery Red Legends, Red Cross!".
Joan then posed with one knee on the ground with her hands positioned as if she was holding a sword "The Calm Blue Legends, Blue Cross!".
Lyle posed with his left arm bent and left hand in a fist shape, his right arm was in a similar position to his left but slightly more upwards. His left knee was bent whilst his right leg remained straight "The Electrifying Yellow Legends, Yellow Cross!".
Dionne then posed with her arms crossed and looking straight onwards at the commander, "The Blowing Green Legends, Green Cross!".
Lastly, Ari posed with his left leg in the air and arms bent upwards "The Silent Black Legends, Black Cross!"
Red Cross came out of her position briefly and exclaimed "CROSSING AND COMBINING LEGENDS!" before going back to her pose.
"TOGO SENTAI, CROSSENGER!" the rest of the team shouted and out of nowhere, a explosion appeared behind them, with colours corresponding to their suits.
"Crossengers, ready? GO!" the group exclaim, before rushing into the battle.
Dionne and Ari team up to take care of a small group of enemy grunts - taking them by surprise, using combat knives. They are then followed by Joan and Lyle - who take down a larger group using a blade attached to a wire.
Mai then charges at the commander - who blocks her attack, throwing her to the ground. She let's out a annoyed grunt, before using her right arm as a lever to hoist herself backup - kicking the commander's face in the process - making him fall back. The team then regroups back together.
"Let's step up a notch and use another key?" Mai suggests
"Hai!" the rest of the group agree.
They click a switch on their belt buckles which opens up to reveal new Ranger Keys.
"Now Cross Changing! Please insert a Ranger Key!"
They allow the Crojector to absorb the key's power, before Cross Changing into the new suits - with the needle once again pricking their palms a flash of light-blue light covers them before bursting and revealing them in brand new suits.
"ZYU~~RANGER!"
Each of them were now in suits - with helmets representing different types of dinosaurs, a mammoth and a saber-tooth tiger. All of them were in their usual colours - except for Dionne whose green coloured suit was exchanged to pink.
"TyrannoRanger!" Mai exclaims before posing with her right knee bent and her left leg straight - she tilts her upper body slightly to the side and shapes her hands like T-Rex claws.
"TriceraRanger!" Joan exclaims, standing next to Mai on the right with her upper body slightly to the side and her right arm bent with her right hand in a closed fist shape. Her left arm was straight and like her right hand, the left was also in a closed fist shape but with her hand upwards. Her legs were bent in a similar positions to Mai's.
"TigerRanger!" Lyle, on Mai's left side, exclaims with his right arm in the air and bent, along with his right hand in a fist shape. His left arm is downwards with his left hand opened in a claw-like shaped. His right knee is bent to the right side and his left leg is straight with his left foot slightly to the left.
"PteraRanger!" Next to Lyle, Dionne stands with her right arm in the air and left arm bent, standing straight.
"MammothRanger!" Lastly, Ari stands next to Joan with his body shifted to the left and left arm bent, with his right hand resting on his elbow-joint. Both of his legs were bent to the right.
"KYOURYU SENTAI, ZYURANGER!" the entire team exclaims together.
The enemy command regains his balance as a multicoloured explosion appears behind the team. After the dust that blew in air due to the explosion settled back on the ground, the team regroup in their tag-teams, this time, using the Zyuranger weapons rather than their own to take down the commander.
"Ptera Arrow!" Dionne exclaims, before jumping into the air and shoots a couple of arrows at the commander - some hitting and others missing.
"Moth Breaker!" after Dionne fires her arrows, Ari comes in after jumping into the air and using an axe-like weapon, cutting down in the middle of the commander before giving a couple extra swings and moving away for the next tag-team.
"Saber Daggers!" a flash of yellow reveals Lyle using a pair of daggers - giving the commander a couple of slashes.
"Tricera Lance!" Joan then gives the commander a couple of jabs using two long lances.
The commander stumbles back - but quickly stables himself and begins charging up an attack to strike at the four Cross-Zyurangers. They brace themselves for impact but quickly relax when they see a red flash appearing behind the commander.
"Ryugenkiken!" Mai exclaims - slashing the commander's back with a sword.
As the commander falls onto his front, Mai rejoins the team and they revert back to their normal Crossenger suits.
"Hey, let's finish this guy off and get back to the others?" Dionne suggests.
"Yeah" the rest of the group agree with a nod,
"Hmph! Don't get too cocky on your first battle, newbies!" the commander mocks them.
"Urusai ba~ka!" Lyle says, surprising the commander.
The group get into their post-transformation lineup and switch their Crojectors into Weapon Mode. Using various weapons, they charge up their finishing attack.
"Time for you to rest in peace!" Mai exclaims.
"CROSS END - ALL WEAPONS FINISHER!" the group exclaims together - a brief multi-coloured background appears as various weapons are thrown automatically at the commander.
"How could I be beaten by a batch of newbies!?" the distressed commander shouts - disappearing into a purple glowing light as the multi-coloured background fades away.
The team then reverts back into their civilian attire, smiling and congratulating each other for doing well in their first campaign battle.
Location: Mysterious Spaceship
Time: 5:55pm
"Damn them! Damn them!" the leader of the now known NEO-Zangyack repeats in frustration "Daizaker!"
Daizaker enters the control room of the spaceship, briefly bowing at the leader.
"Yes, Denka?"
"I thought you said taking over the base and taking out the damn Gokaigers and their allies would be easy and that the damn Crossengers are rumours!"
"My apologies, Denka. We did not expect the Crossengers to be this strong and have knowledge of battle"
The leader of the NEO-Zangyack gets up from the chair in the middle of the room and walks over to a gun-like object.
"Luckily, I somehow managed to salvage this from the last Zangyack Empire!" he boasts, firing the gun, whose beam hits the area the Action Commander was beaten.
Location: Suspension Bridge #1
Time: 6:05pm
The team were resting on the bridge from which they jumped down from when the battle first started, enjoying the cool air blowing through the area.
"That Action Commander was way too easy!" says Dionne, the others, expect Joan, agree.
"But, there's bound to be some tougher ones as we continue to fight them" Joan explains, not amused by Dionne's comment.
"Lighten up, Joan! No need to be serious all the time!" Lyle says, before slightly jumping from receiving a glare from Joan.
Navi then appears in front of the group - unscatched from the battle.
"Minna! Good job!" she says excitedly
"Arigatou, tori" Mai says, smiling at Navi, waiting for her usual reply.
"Tori ja nai!"
The group laugh at Navi response - all of a sudden, the area they are in began to shake.
"Nanda!?" Ari asks, getting up quickly and looking over the bridge's guardrail.
A pink beam hits the area where they took down the action commander. The dust from the rubble and debris fills the air, before settling down on the ground - revealing a now, giant version of the commander.
"I rise again!" he exclaims, before turning towards the bridge "Thought you've beaten me, Crossengers? You have another thing coming to you! Time to say goodnight!"
"Shimatta!" Ari says, with a combined expression of nervous and scared.
"We don't have anything big enough to take him down with!" a panicking Dionne says, hiding behind Lyle and Joan.
Unknowingly to the group, two of their mentors were coming towards them from within the shadows.

CROSS 3 - First Combination.

* I have a headcannon that Gold Mode for GokaiSilver can block blasts and explosions (as it happened a couple of times in the series) - which is why Gai was unscathed from the blast. Also, a new ending song will be featured in later chapters - the ending song itself is a reference to the Crossengers ability - similar powers as the Gokaigers.
