KKD: Well, today's a new day, and Silver's on break for now, not to mention that in charge of this chapter is none other than our aibou, Mister Mango himself, Pikatwig!
Pikatwig: Yep. *Sheepish smile* I'm a mango… and they taste pretty good.
KKD: Yea, I'll admit, they're good, but… this situation leaves us with a problem. This is normally the story in which we have three guys working at the same time… I'm not sure how we can do it with just two.
Pikatwig: Well… we got a new guy around.
KKD: I see… and just where is this new guy?
Pikatwig: I have no idea…
?: INCOMI~NG! *Lands on the ground from a high distance* ORE... SAN~JOU!
KKD: ...Well… that certainly was dramatic… feels like we got ourselves another Kai.
Pikatwig: More like a second ON to me… but regardless… *inhales sharply* we have another person to help out. Introduce yourself.
?: Alrighty then. Minna-san on your internets, Ore wa TokuBrony94 *puts a fedora hat on* but you can call me TB for short.
KKD: That's a bit of a mouthful anyway, so we'll just call you TB. Anyway, welcome to the team.
Pikatwig: Yea… well, how about we get going.
TB: Of course, so I hear this chapter is gonna be a Sora/Kisho pairing, ne?
Pikatwig: More of them as the focus of the chapter.
KKD: Silver's not too big into the Yuri pairing, so it's safer to avoid that as much as we can, but the closest we can get is the friendship the girls have.
TB: That's exactly what I meant, I don't do those types of pairings.
Pikatwig: Okay. So… let's rock and roll, aibou, disclaimers.

It was a normal day at Tomodachi, with the group sitting down to eat lunch on this rainy day. However, they noticed that Sora wasn't there…
"So did you hear Kassie's been dating a boy from America?" Momo asked.
"Yea, it was kinda surprising to hear she's going out with him," Kisho nodded.
"Well, it's sweet she's dating someone…" Mitsuko smiled, before she realized something, "Hey, has anyone seen where Sora is?"
"I think she's doing parkour practice at the track," Hinata said.
"It's rainin'… not even she's dumb enough to do that," AJ responded.
"She's probably found an excuse to do it somehow. Maybe working on it in the gym?"
"Hey guys!" Sora waved, as she had some water dripping off of her, and she had a take-out bag in her right hand, "I went to go and get some Lock-O Taco, then it rained…"
"...I figured you were out doing something like that… or doing parkour," Hinata smiled, and Sora just shrugged before walking over and taking her seat by Hinata and Kisho.
"I actually did some parkour on my way to Lock-O Taco," Sora smirked, as Kisho had somewhat of a disgusted look on her face, which was noticed by AJ.
"Are you alright, sugarcube?" AJ asked Kisho.
"It's just that Sora looks simply awful, darling!" Kisho said before holding her nose, "Not to mention she smells like wet dog!"
"What's wrong with the way I look?!" Sora responded.
"That's not how a lady should look, that's what I mean."
"Do I look like I want to act like a lady as how you think they should be?! Blegh! No way I'm wearing any of those fluffy dresses or do whatever girly things you do. Thanks, but I'd rather stick to parkour and toku."
"Ok, those 'fluffy dresses' you're referring to are something every girl wears. Your style of clothing kinda makes you stick out like a sore thumb. No offense."
"So? I'm sure there are other girls who'd prefer this style over the dresses. Besides, I don't want to wear skirts. Makes it feel… drafty, if you catch my drift," Sora responded before Kisho stood up and got in her face.
"Alright Sora, you're coming with me!" Kisho said before dragging Sora by her right arm to the dorm.
"Hey wait, I didn't get to eat my lunch!" Sora complained, pointing out how it was still on the table.

Scroll 7: Lady Sora
Kisho and Sora had soon returned to eat, with Sora making a bit of a mess with the way she ate, before Kisho dragged her back to her dorm.
"Alright, starting right now I am going to teach you how to act like a proper lady!" Kisho insisted.
"Pfft, whatever," Sora groaned, "Let's just hope nobody will see me in whatever you're making me do or wear."
Kisho then looked over at Sora, and began to look at her a bit annoyed, as Sora simply looked bored at Kisho, and after a moment, Kisho handed Sora a towel.
"Dry off please," Kisho asked as Sora instead dropped the towel and began to shake the water off.
"Seriously, Sora?! If this stains the room…" Kisho growled, as Sora sighed, and picked up the towel and dried off the way Kisho wanted her to.
"There… you happy now?" Sora groaned after her hair was dried up. Kisho looked around, and much to her relief, the water didn't stain the room.
"Much better. I am also glad the room's not a complete mess," Kisho said noticing some drips, but not minding those as much.
"Why are you teaching me to be 'lady-like' anyway?" Sora inquired.
"Well you never seem to have any concern for hygiene or cleanliness, not to mention you don't act like any other girls I know." Kisho explained, as Sora was kind of offended by her remark.
"Well I don't like how most of the other girls act, and do I look like I care about what some of the other girls you know act like?"
"You don't... but Sora, I'm doing this to help you out. After all, how will you be able to catch a guy looking like… that?" Kisho responded, gesturing to Sora's body.
"You just gestured to all of me. Am I… bad looking or something?" Sora asked, looking at her reflection a bit nervous.
"No, you don't look bad," Kisho said trying to pick her words carefully without hurting Sora's feelings, "You just look... how do I put this... un-lady like. Therefore, I will do what I can to help you act properly."
Sora then looked at her reflection and began to think. "Well, if you really want to, I guess you could help me out." she said having agreed to take Kisho's offer to teach her how to be proper.
"So Kisho… how's this going to work?" Sora asked a bit later.
We then see Sora in front of a really big closet in the dorm, so big it's almost like it's own room. It was filled with multiple different dresses and outfits.
"Jeez! I know you had a lot of outfits… but not this much!" Sora gawked.
"Yea… I make a lot of them." Kisho informed. "What can I say really? It's a gift."
"I can see that. So… how's this gonna help with anything? Or is this revenge for me mocking the sort of attire you wear?"
"Of course this isn't revenge!" Kisho responded, getting a glare from Sora, "...Well, partially. But the main reason being we should find a proper outfit that sort of suits you," she further explained with Sora giving a nod and looking at the multiple clothes with a questionable look.
"So Kisho… can I at least wear a pair of shorts under a skirt?" Sora inquired.
"...No. The closest thing to shorts you'll wear are leggings that'll make the skirt feel more comfortable," Kisho answered.
"What are leggings? The last time I remember wearing a skirt is when I was younger and I never had to wear those," Sora replied.
"You do realize our Guardian outfits also have skirts as well, remember? Anyways, leggings are a soft material meant to protect your legs from some of the materials of the skirts… not all skirts are comfortable, so the leggings will help out."
After two hours, Sora was now wearing a blueish-greenish colored dress that was sleeveless and reached to her knees, and she wore blue high-heeled boots. Not only that, but her hair was also styled up in a wavy length. Needless to say, Sora did not look happy about this at all.
"Well Kisho… I hope you're happy, 'cause I feel ridiculous," Sora groaned.
"I think you look great…" Kisho smiled.
"Really? ...Well, I hope no one else sees me like this," Sora sighed when Takeshi walked in.
"Sora, I was wondering how you were doing and if we can start trai-... what the heck?!" Takeshi gawked, stopping his initial thoughts when he saw Sora in the outfit she was in, making the rainbow-haired girl flustered.
"Doesn't she look great?" Kisho asked.
Takeshi then had a deadpan look on his face that Sora knew said, "Seriously?", as she knew some type of reaction was going to come out of this. Takeshi kept this face for a few seconds… and then, he started snickering, struggling to hold back his laughter. Finally, he started bursting out laughing, holding his gut while doing so.
"...See?! I told you this would be embarrassing!" Sora told Kisho.
"Maybe he's just not used to seeing you look more like a girl," Kisho responded, and Sora just blushed embarrassed.
"Well… kinda, but… I never thought Sora would end up wearing something… like this when she decided to wear a dress!" Takeshi panted, recovering from his laughter, "I mean, she looks silly. She looks better in her usual get-up, personally."
Kisho gave an annoyed glare at Takeshi, who simply backed out and took his leave. Sora looked at the mirror again and felt… hollow. "So I look ugly when I don't dress like I should, but when I do dress like a girl, I get laughed at… I feel… strange..."
"How so?" Kisho asked.
"...I don't know, just like… I just… don't know who I am anymore… but Kisho…" Sora started, before pausing. "I at least want to give this 'being more lady-like' thing a try… but Takeshi laughed at me…"
"Thanks for hearing me out on this, Sora," Kisho smiled, "Now, let's continue, shall we?"
Sora gave a nod, and smiled a bit.
Later, Kisho had set up a sort of 'lesson plan' for what she was going to show Sora how to act more lady-like, and Sora returned to Kisho's dorm.
"So, here's what we are going to do today," Kisho said as Momo suddenly pushed a chalkboard from out of nowhere behind her, "Where'd you get that chalkboard?"
"Oh, it's Mitsuko's. She isn't using it right now," Momo informed, as Mitsuko was reading a book.
"So anyway, first we're going to work on posture," Kisho began, as she walked over to Mitsuko. "May I borrow some of your books for a moment, darling?"
"Sure thing, Kisho," Mitsuko nodded, allowing Kisho to approach her book shelves and then picked up a few books before handing them to Sora.
"I would like you to try balancing these on your head. It will help you straighten your posture." Kisho told Sora, while handing her the books.
"Okay…" Sora responded, placing the books on her head, and trying to walk, at first doing a good job, but then started losing her balance, and finally fell back with the books falling on the floor. "This is hard…" she sighed.
Kisho giggled, picked up the books, and walked with ease. "See? It's easy," Kisho said, smiling as she was still successfully walking without letting the books fall.
Sora just took the books and tried again, and held her posture a little longer this time, before the same result happened, this time with a couple books hitting her in the head as she fell down.
"Ite," Sora groaned, rubbing her head as she sat up on the floor. "Mou... I'm… not quitting…"
Thus, she got up, and tried again, managing to keep the books on her head for a good three minutes! The rest of the girls in the dorm applauded that she succeeded at balancing the books on her head, then Hinata walked in a bit surprised to see what Sora was doing.
"Minna, what's up?" Hinata asked.
"Not much, just… uh… balancing act. Yeah, that's it," Sora answered as she finally put the books down.
"Oh… okay then," Hinata nodded, continuing off to their room.
"Uh… Sora, why'd you-?" Kisho started to ask.
"I don't want Hinata to know about this… just yet. I don't know how she would react," Sora responded.
"Fair enough. I won't let her know," Kisho nodded, zipping her lips shut.
"Okay… so, what's our next lesson?" Sora inquired.
Kisho smiled at Sora and thus led her to an area set up for a meal, minus the food.
"Table etiquette," Kisho answered Sora.
"Meaning...?" Sora asked.
"When you last ate, you were an animal. I understand that most fast food is finger food, but you could at least learn to eat less sloppily. So, I'll show you the proper way to enjoy a meal," Kisho answered as she and Sora took a seat at the table.
"Alright..." Sora responded, twirling her hair in a bit of nervousness.
"Please don't do that with your hair, you'll get knots in it," Kisho scolded, causing Sora to stop, "Now the first step is to always place your napkin neatly across your lap. Watch."
With that, Kisho took the napkin, gently shook the wrinkles and folds out of it before placing it on her lap. Sora watched, and slowly but surely imitated Kisho's actions.
"Ok, what's next?" Sora asked.
"Next, you'll need to know your way with utensils when it comes to the food. As you can see, there's more than one spoon and fork, respectively.
Which would you start with when given soup?"
"That's easy... the spoon." Sora answered
"But which spoon? There are two, remember that," Kisho reminded.
"Ano..." Sora wondered, trying to pick the right one. She yawned queitly for a moment, and began to blink her eyes.
Suddenly, a beeping sound was heard, and it came from their bracelets. They all looked to see their elements flashing red, indicating that a monster from the Nightmare Forces was attacking!
"Oh no… not now!" Sora groaned.
"Looks like a Nightmare monster is on the loose! Minna, ikuzo!" Mitsuko exclaimed to his teammates.
"Hai!" the girls nodded, running off.
The girls arrived, already transformed in their Guardian outfits, and they see a giant candle with some crow like wings just standing in the middle of the forest. Sora just blinked at it for a moment.
"That's it? A candle with wings?" Kisho replied with a questioning gaze.
"Leave it to me," Sora smirked, before she flew up and nose dived to land a punch, but the Candle Crow caught her punch and threw her, but Sora managed to stick the landing, only sliding a few inches.
"Sorry Ms. Tomboy, but I only will do combat with real ladies!" the kaijin spoke.
"What was that?!" Sora yelled, before charging at it again... only to be thrown through a tree, breaking it.
"You're such a green girl!" the kaijin spoke.
"... I think… maybe I should change…"
"...Sora? Sora… SORA!"
"Huh?" Sora responded, seeing she was back in the dorm.
"What happened to you? You were listening… right?" Kisho asked.
"Sorry… I guess I slipped into a daydream…" Sora sighed.
"Don't worry… well, let us move along, shall we?"
"Alright, so... where were we again?"
"We're about to move on to our next lesson." Kisho informed, walking over to a sort of box, showing it had all sorts of make-up and such. Sora blinked at it, and simply sat by Kisho.
"Alright… teach away… Kisho...chan?" Sora told her friend.
Two days have passed since Sora's lessons with Kisho began, and at this point, Sora was dressed like a lady, walking like one, and was ready to reveal her lady-like side.
"You've learned a lot in only a couple days, Sora," Kisho smiled.
"Indeed I have Kisho-chan, indeed I have." Sora smiled on back. "So, shall we show the others how I've changed?"
"Yes, Sora-chan. Let us show the others the new you," Kisho nodded as they walked out of the room, Kisho contacting the others to meet up.
"So, what's going on Kisho?" Hinata asked.
"I just want to show you something a few days in the making," Kisho giggled as she opened the curtain to reveal Sora, "behold... the new Sora Hayabusa!"
Sora smiled, as she shown her blue-green dress was now a little longer, but still showed her high-heeled boots. Not only that, but she also had a bit of eyeshadow and lipstick on her face, along with some nail polish on her hands. She took a pose, and the others all gasped.
"Wow! That's quite an improvement," Mitsuko smiled.
"That looks great on you, Sora!" AJ gawked.
"Wowie Zowie! Sora's a completely new girl now!" Momo added.
"She looks really pretty," Hinata smiled, "But… what did you do to my sister?"
"Well, I had her go through some special training, and now she's a whole lot more lady-like." Kisho explained.
Sora just smiled, curtseying to her friends politely.
"Uh… you went along with this because…?" Hinata inquired.
"Well… I accepted this training because… I felt like… I was nobody. Someone who would just be an undetectable blip on the radar. I felt like… if I changed myself, I would finally be somebody," Sora explained.
"Kisho, a word please?" Hinata requested.
"Ok," Kisho said as she went to talk with Hinata, walking a distance from Sora so she wouldn't hear.
"Why did you change my sister?" Hinata demanded to know.
"What do you mean? I was only showing her how to be more lady-like," Kisho responded.
"Okay… did she want to change?"
"Yes, she did want to change, especially after Takeshi laughed at her," Kisho started.
"But did she want to change when you started this 'training'?" Hinata clarifying.
"She was willing to listen." Kisho responded.
"Okay… but… Sora's not easy to let lessons stick with her… how was this all able to stick?"
"I have no idea…"
"...Kisho… just because people would like to change, it doesn't mean they always can," Hinata told Kisho.
"Oh… well... I'm sorry Hinata, I'll go talk to Sora," Kisho apologized, having felt a little guilty for changing Sora's attitude.
"Oh, Kisho-chan. Is everything okay?" Sora inquired.
"Well Sora… I'm sorry for changing your personality." Kisho said while bowing.
"...I'm sorry, Kisho-chan, but… what are you talking about?"
"You shouldn't have to change. I should just be happy with who you are," Kisho informed.
"Uh… I'm happy with the new me," Sora informed. "And I went through enough to change who I am…"
"Sora, this isn't you," Kisho exclaimed. "I knew you were a little hesitant to take my training at first, but what made you so cooperative with it?"
"Well… I uh…" Sora responded, when the same blinking came from their Elements.
"Another monster's on the loose. Ikuze, Guardians!" Mitsuko called out.
"Hai!" the girls answered.
Thus they arrived in Guardian forms, all ready to fight. They looked around, ready for whatever was gonna come at them, Sora still keeping her posture as she was trying to remain lady-like. Then…
"Hey! What's that over there?!" Momo shouted, making the others look over to see… a giant candle?
"A candle with wings?" Sora wondered before it hit her. "That's the monster from my daydream!"
"I was told by Princess Helena that the Nightmare Forces can make kaijin from dreams. So… you day-dreamed that thing into reality!" Mitsuko realized.
"Oh no…" Sora whimpered, slowly approaching the Kaijin while still keeping up with her posture.
"Ah, a lady dares to challenge the almighty Blazehawk?!"
"Blazehawk? You look more candle than hawk! Heck, those are crow wings!" Momo pointed out.
"I'll take care of this!" Sora told her teammates as she prepared the same thing she did in her daydream... only for the kaijin, known as Blazehawk, to throw her.
"Ooooh," the others winced as Sora got up, reacting more like Kisho as she was freaking out about how her outfit was.
"Okay… I'm going to help her, Kisho, help me out. The rest of you… fight that thing off, okay?" Hinata instructed.
"We'll do our best," AJ nodded, igniting her fists in flames while Momo began ice skating around the kaijin.
"Ikuze, Ikuze, IKUZE!" Momo shouted as she began firing ice beams at Blazehawk, who deflected every single one of them. AJ then tried punching
the kaijin with her fire fists, but he dodged all of them and kicked her away.
"Sora, you need to stop acting this way, this isn't you!" Kisho shouted, rushing over to help Sora.
"But… people will continue to laugh at me… that monster in my daydream said he only fights ladies, not tomboy's, plus… I get the feeling other's don't like me... that's why I agreed to change!" Sora panted as she was being helped up by Kisho and her 'sister', Hinata.
"Sora… people like you for who you are… nee-chan, snap out of it!" Hinata shouted, tears starting to form in her eyes, and Sora began to blink for a moment.
"Huh… wha-wha? What happened?" Sora gawked, blinking as if she was just breaking out of a trance. "Oh right… I'll explain things later. Right now, it's butt kickin' time!"
"She's back!" Hinata cheered as Sora dashed in at blinding speed, and was able to knock Blazehawk down to the ground, but not before kicking him fourteen times at rapid speed.
"Oi, tori-yaro!" Sora called out to Blazehawk, "You wanna try and knock someone down, try me!" she exclaimed while executing a fighting pose.
"Alrighty, I love a good tomboy!"
"Heh, how about that? Looks like being a lady was pointless against this guy. It's time to rumble," she smirked, beginning to charge her body with electricity.
She then charged at the kaijin, throwing punches and kicks, each with a shocking effect! Even though Blazehawk blocked a few of the attacks, and tried to get some attacks of his own, it was all for nothing. By the end of Sora's barrage, Blazehawk was paralyzed, his wings were missing almost all of his feathers, and not to mention his fire was almost completely extinguished.
"Shall I help you out?" Kisho smirked.
"If you wish… but don't be afraid if we get our hands dirty, this is no place for a lady with a faint heart," Sora nodded, slamming her fist into her free hand.
"I'll have you know that just because I'm a lady doesn't mean I can't defend myself!" Kisho scoffed as both her and Sora prepared themselves for a finisher.
She leaned back, sending some electrical energy into Kisho, charging her up before she jumped into the air. Then Kisho spun 360 degrees while diving straight at Blazehawk!
"Dengeki Spinning Crusher~!" Kisho shouted as she hit the kaijin directly, before rolling out of the way and watching Blazehawk explode!
"Wowie! It's just like that move from Street Fighter!" Momo gawked.
"Yay," Hinata added.
"So… how'd you pull that stuff off anyway? I know you, and I know lessons aren't your easiest thing," Hinata asked Sora.
"...You know, I'm actually not sure…" Sora admitted, "I felt like I was under some sort of trance or something."
"Maybe you were under some kind of hypnosis spell while you were having the daydream." Mitsuko wondered.
"Possibly…" Sora shrugged. "But Hinata… thanks for helping me out, I owe ya."
"You really don't. It's my job as your sister," Hinata replied.
"And uh… I'm sorry Sora," Kisho smiled.
"Sorry about what?" Sora asked, confused.
"For trying to change you,"
"Don't worry. I think we both learned something here. You learned not to change other people because it's who they are, and I learned to be more proud of who I am," Sora said as she extended her hand to Kisho.
"...That's good to hear," Kisho smiled, taking Sora's hand and shaking it.
"So, who's up for Toku Movie Night!?" Momo asked cheerily.
"I am!" Hinata and Sora shouted, waving their hands.
"I guess… I'll join," Kisho smiled.
"Oh my gosh! I just came up with a great idea!" Mitsuko smiled, quickly taking off her bag, and rummaging through it, before pulling out a journal, "We could all write what we learned about each other in this journal!"
"Mitsuko… that's a great idea," Kisho smiled, taking out something to write with. "Shall we Sora?"
"Over at the movie night, sure."
'It's sometimes hard to understand people, and it's almost habit for some people to want to change themselves or others. But it's important to learn how to accept them, and like who they are. I learned, or rather, we learned, that we shouldn't judge others upon our own assumptions of them, and let them be who they are. The same also applies to us," Kisho wrote on behalf of both herself and Sora, both of whom were with their friends, watching the Gaim/Wizard Movie Taisen.
"That's pretty good Kisho. Y'know, you're not that bad." Sora smiled.
"I have to say the same for you, too, darling," Kisho smiled back.
"And, while I may not be the most lady-like person in the world, I can be a really good friend."
"While I know you're used to being a tomboy, which rubbed me the wrong way at first, you're still pretty cool."
"I did listen to what you said… and maybe, could we do something girly tomorrow? I'm willing to do some girly things every now and then, but I won't go full girly like that twice." Sora smiled/offered.
"I'd rather you not do that again, especially with how helpful your tomboy side can be," Kisho smiled back, "But… if you want, I could schedule a trip to the spa for you, Hinata, and myself." she offered back.
"Sounds like fun," Sora responded, "How about it, sis?"
"...Sounds good to me," Hinata nodded, getting some laughs from the girls.
"Here comes the best part of the movie!" Momo said excitedly as everyone gathered up to watch the final action scene.
SUPER HERO TRIVIA!
Ignatius: Welcome to another edition of Super Hero Trivia! I'm Ignatius, aka MataRed, and with me is Saki, aka Kamen Rider Xbox, and Sora, the Guardian of Loyalty.
Sora: Yeesh. After all those "Lady" exercises, I'm ready to get back to talking about hardcore toku stuff!
Saki: Yeah, it's all pretty awesome. So let's spin the wheel! *spins the wheel which lands on…*
Ignatius: Super Sentai. Huh. Two in a row for me, I guess… so, who's gonna talk about this?
Sora: Why don't we all take turns talking about it?
Saki: Well, I guess I'll start it off. So, as you know, Super Sentai has been around since the 1970s. However, did you know that a lot of the elements that make Super Sentai what it is weren't introduced until later Sentai series?
Sora: Yeah. For example, the concept of giant enemies and mecha wasn't introduced until the third Sentai, Battle Fever J, which was in 1979, and the concept of the sixth ranger wasn't until Zyuranger in 1992, the same season the original Power Rangers was adapted from.
Ignatius: Wait, I thought JAKQ was the first to have an extra ranger, with the inclusion of Big One.
Sora: Technically, but Big One is still counted as part of the core five team, as noted in Gokaiger. Plus, the Sixth Ranger trope wouldn't be used for quite a long time, until the already mentioned Zyuranger.
Saki: Another element was the extra mecha, which was introduced in 1986's Flashman with the Flash Titan, as well as the first mecha to give each person their own mini-vehicle in the Sentai after, Maskman.
Ignatius: Speaking of mechas, the ability for both the main and the extra mechs to combine into one was introduced in 1988's Liveman.
Sora: Though technically it came in the Sentai after, Turboranger, because the Liveman mecha were two separate robots that combined, similar to the Toa-Kaita-Oh and Toa-Nui-Oh in your series, Ig.
Saki: One more little tidbit for you guys, extra heroes/extra rangers were introduced in Maskman as well, with the one-off X1 Mask, but eventually became a staple in 1994's Ninja Sentai Kakuranger with Ninjaman. Anyways, we should all get going. I got a chapter to get to. So, this has been Kamen Rider Xbox… One!
Sora: The fastest Guardian, Sora Hayabusa.
Ignatius: And the Toa of Fire, Ignatius. We'll see you guys later!

Hinata: I'm a pretty good singer, but i'm afraid to sing in front of other people!
AJ: Being a performer, I know what stage fright is like. So Ah can help ya.
Sora: So will I, but first, we got a kaijin who likes to shred!
Mitsuko: Hinata, I didn't know you were into rock.
Kisho: I don't think she is, that monster is using his music to awaken Mai!
Mitsuko: Oh shoot!
Jikai, Hinata's Melody of Light and Mai's Symphony of Darkness
Mai: Let's Rock n' Roll!
Pikatwig: And another chapter is done.
KKD: Thank goodness, too. So, how'd it feel working with Toku West, TB?
TB: I must say, it was a blast!
KKD: Good to hear. *looks around* Has anyone seen Silver? He's supposed to meet up with us for the end here.
Pikatwig: No idea.
TB: Maybe he's a little late.
Silver: W EXTREME! *lands on the ground, making a crater where he landed* Sorry I'm late, guys. I was busy with playing some Mario 3D world.
KKD. Well, glad you're here now. Regardless, this was a pretty fun chapter. So, what were your guy's favorite parts?
Pikatwig: When Sora and Kisho wrote in a journal for the first time.
KKD: Nice callback to the letter to Celestia/Journal entries in MLP. What about you, TB?
TB: My favorite part was the action scene near the end, as well as Takeshi laughing at Sora for her change in attire.
Pikatwig: Makes sense, you came up with the whole moment with Takeshi and Sora.
Silver: Honestly, this chapter wasn't really the best in my opinion, but I did like the fight scene at the end with Sora and Kisho teaming up and even using a couple video game moves.
TB: Dude, that's pretty cold. I know you and Pika have differing perspectives, but you shouldn't diss his work like that.
Silver: Sorry. I have a rather sophisticated way of things, and Sora just seemed REALLY out of character to me, and it would have ended a bit better if Sora had finally gotten sick of Kisho's exercises by the end and stormed off, leading to Kisho and Sora having some sort of understanding by then.
Pikatwig: Okay I guess... but it was the best plot I could think of.
Silver: Whatever. It was just a couple nitpicks, dude...
KKD: MOVING ON. I guess my favorite part was when Sora snapped back to her senses for that battle at the end.
TB: That's cool, now to all of you reading this, I would like you to stay tuned, 'cuz a lot of stuff is gonna happen that I will not tell you because of... *snaps his fingers*
Momo: SPOILERS!
KKD: Momo, no one was Flutter-censored because they were gonna spoil something.
TB: Come on KKD, you knew that was coming, think of it like a running gag.
Silver: A really annoying one, at that. -_-'
KKD: I know, and the gag normally requires what I said above to happen first.
Pikatwig: Yea… so, did you guys like the second chapter where I was in charge?
KKD: Eeyup.
TB: It was pretty cool.
Pikatwig: Thanks.
Silver: Eh… it was alright, I guess.
Pikatwig: Whatever.
KKD: So, shall we close this off?
Silver: Sounds good to me. Hope you enjoyed that chapter with our new Aibou, TokuBrony94, because next time he's taking over the reins for his first chapter! Anyways, I'm the Radiant Rider, SilverariaMaximum…
KKD: I'm the Crossover King, KKD Silver…
Pikatwig: I don't have a title, but I'm Pikatwig…
TB: And coming straight into the fray, I'm the Lone Rider, TokuBrony!
KKD: And we'll see you guys later. Jaa ne!
TB: SEIYA! *performs a jump spinning crescent kick while shouting it*
Pikatwig: Just Live More.
Silver: Stand up the Vanguard!
