And now to answer that has probably been nagging you since Chapter 7. Just what in the world happened to the Goseigers?
Chapter 10: The Fallen Warriors
Alata woke up groaning under his breath. He opened his eyes but for some reason he was surrounded by darkness. All of a sudden he was hit with extreme brightness. At first he squinted in the brightness until his eyes adjusted and when they did, he found that he was on his knees, in the middle a giant circular arena and he was in the middle of what looked to be a gladiator pit. Alata was confused at first but then he remembered the funhouse. If you recall, once the Gosei Angels entered the funhouse with Captain Marvelous, the red pirate had fallen throw the trap hole and the room the five angels were in began to fill with smoke. When the smoke had fully covered the room, Alata and the others were each knocked out from behind by a Viper. The reason Alata couldn't see at first when he woke up was because the Vipers had placed a cloth sack over his head.
Looking around, the red angle saw that the pit was twenty feet deep and the walls surrounding it was slick so climbing out was impossible. He could hear the roars and hisses of the Vipers and Kobras echoing from above. There were legions of them, looking down into the pit waiting in anticipation of what was going to happen next. Alata tried to move his arms but he quickly found that his hands were cuffed behind his back. He tried to get to his feet but his ankles were also in cuffs. Looking over to his left and saw Eri next to him and Agri was next to her. Alata then turned to his right and saw Moune next to him and Hyde next to her. The Goseigers were all on their knees in the center of the gladiator pit. It wasn't long before the other angels opened there eyes and realize where they were.
"Where are we?" asked Moune.
"We're in a lot of trouble that's where we are." Stated Hyde
Agri turned to Alata, "What do think is going to happen to us?" he asked the red angel.
"I don't know." Alata answered. "But no matter what happens, we will face it together."
Then the Vipers and the Kobras began to roar louder then ever. As it turned out, the serpents were cheering. Looking straight ahead and looking up at a box seat, the angels could see why they were cheering. In the box with his hands raised to claim the snakes down, was the Quest Master, live and in person. "Thank you, thank you, please be seated." He then turned his attention to the Goseigers. "Tensou Sentai Goseiger. Welcome to my little shindig." He then reached into his pants pocket and took a small device and pointed it at the angles. "You no longer need those." The Quest Master stated as he pressed his thumb down on the top button. With in seconds the Goseigers bonds had opened up and the angels were quick in getting to their feet. Once situated, the five angels brought their attention back to the Quest Master.
"Why have you brought use here?" Alata demanded. "Where is GoseiKnight and what have you done to Captain Marvelous?"
"GoseiKnight in indisposed for right now. And I wouldn't worry about Captain Marvelous if I were you. The Quest Master answered. "Let's just say he and the other Gokaigers are being taken care of." Indeed the Quest Master was taking care of the Gokaigers. He had unleashed the Gargoyle on them. But little did the Quest Master know, the Gargoyle had just broken through the wooded floor and had fallen into the water beneath it allowing the Gokaigers to escape.
"Okay then," began Agri "I take it you're going to put us on some kind of quest."
"No." the Quest Master replied. "I'm going to dispose of you immediately."
The angels eyes all widened at this revelation. "Why?" Eri said. "Why are doing this to us. We have never met you before. What could we have possibly done to you to make you want us dead?"
"It wasn't the five of you in particular that did me wrong." The Quest Master answered. "Let's just say you're the closest thing to the people that did me wrong and that's why I have chosen to take my frustrations on you."
"That makes no sense at all!" cried Hyde. "How could we possibly be the closest thing to whoever wronged you?"
"It really is an interesting story to tell but I'm afraid now isn't the time for that." The Quest Master said with a sinister grin. "However," he continued, "there are a few aspects about myself that I will let you know. For starters, I'm not exactly from around here." The Goseigers looked on with interest, forgetting the current predicament they were in. "What I mean from not around here doesn't mean I'm not from Earth. I am most defiantly an Earthling, I just don't come from this universe." The eyes of the angels widened at this news. Was that even possible? Was there such a thing as an alternate universe? And if so, was it really possible for someone to cross over from one to another? The Quest Master continues his story. "Other then being a marvel at technology," he reached into his vest and pulled out a rolled peace of paper, "I am also a very powerful alchemist."
"Alchemist!" Said all the angels in shock.
"Is that how one came into our world?" asked Moune
"Inadvertently yes." The Quest Master answered. "I was on the verge of greatness. I had a plan that would have made the entire world take notice of my genius. Then those meddlesome little punks interfered and banished me to these universe. You see this paper here used to be a page in a book of spells and because of those meddlers most of that book was destroyed. Among the pages was the incantation that could take me to other dimensions and universes."
"So you're stranded here." Stated Agri.
"Indeed I am. It took some time but I have finally built up my forces again. And where I failed in my universe, I promise you that I will succeed in yours. And by midnight of the New Year, all of Japan shall feel my wrath." An evil grin appeared on his face as he said it.
"And what is your plan?" Alata asked as a chill ran though all five of the Goseigers spines.
"I could tell you, but you're all about to die anyway." The Quest Master said with sinister glee. "Now then, let's introduce the warriors that will seal your doom." The floor of the pit opened up around the Goseigers. The opening made the gladiator pit look like a giant bull's eyes and the Goseigers where stand directly in the middle. Ten metal containers came rising from the opening, each thirty yards away from the angels. The Quest Master then unrolled the paper and read the ancient writings aloud. All of a sudden a green light filled the arena. The Vipers and the Kobras were all silent and the Goseigers, though scared, put on a strong face and prepared themselves for whatever was going to come their way.
Storm clouds began to form above the arena and then came a horrible whaling sound. It was a most dreadful sound. The sound was the voices of several souls being forcibly pulled away from their eternal peace. Streams of lights then rained down and struck the metal containers. As the lights continued to rain down, the containers opened and several lights came flashing out. Two of the lights were yellow and one of the lights was white. There was also one orange light, one red light, two black lights and three green lights. The containers were fully opened by the time the ritual ended and one by one the contents of the containers emerged.
The Gosei angels circled up and ready themselves for battle. From were the Quest Master was going counter clockwise stood Alata, Eri, Agri, Moune and Hyde. When all ten of the warriors were emerged from their containers, the five angels were in total shock from what they saw. The warriors in the containers were Sentai Heroes. The Quest Master had revived all the Sentai warriors that were dead. But of the five, Hyde was the most stunned by the warrior that was standing in front of him. From were that warrior stood, going counter clockwise again, was Battle Cossack of Battle Fever J. Next to him was Abaranger's AbareKiller and next to him was Kirenger of the Gorengers. Going onward was Timeranger's TimeFire, Bioman's Yellow Four, DragonRanger of the Zyuranger, Rio and Mele of the Gekirangers and Black Condor of the Jetman. Finally there was the one Hyde was fixated on. When Moune and Alata looked over to that warrior they both joined the blue angel in surprise. It wasn't long until their partners realized what was going on and were also in complete shock at the revelation of the tenth resurrected Sentai. Standing among the revived Sentai was a Goseiger. A green Goseiger bearing the crest of the Seaick Tribe on his chest.
"Hyde," Alata said breaking the silence between the angels, "is that…"
"Magis." Answered Hyde. Yes, Magis, the lost Angel, GoseiGreen has been brought back to life and along with the rest of the resurrected heroes, was completely under the Quest Master's control.
"Well it's nice to see that you all know each other." Said the Quest Master. "Now, without further ado, LET THE SLAYING BEGIN!"
The ten resurrected warriors charged at the five angels enclosing the circle. The Goseigers flipped over there chargers and scattered across the pit. It wasn't long before each angel found him or herself in a 2 on 1 situation. Alata engaged TimeFire and Black Condor while Eri found herself mixing it up with AbareKiller and Battle Cossack. Agri was fighting Rio and Mele trying to get over to Moune who was fighting Kirenger and Yellow Four. Hyde in the mean time was trying to reach out to Magis while fending off DragonRanger. Magis of course was not listening as he and the other nine henshinned warriors were not conscious to what they were doing. All they could hear was the Quest Masters voice telling them to "kill the Goseigers." But Hyde would not give up. He was going to find someway to bring his partner to his senses.
"Magis please," cried the blue angel avoiding the green angel's flurry of punches and kicks "snap out of it. It's me, Hyde!" He continued after dodging a kick from DragonRanger. "We're partners! We were best friends!" Hyde grabbed hold of Magis' shoulders. "You gave your life to protect mine! Please Magis, try to remember!" But it was to no avail, Magis broke free of Hyde's grip and punched him in the chest. Magis then took out his Seaick Sabers. The Seaick Sabers are a pair of twin two in a half foot swords that Magis could wield either separately or as one double edged weapon. The blades resembled eels as that was Magis' mecha. As Magis readied himself to attack, DragonRanger fired an energy stream from his Zyusouken. Hyde dodged the blast and barely avoided being sliced into ribbons by Magis.
On the other side of the arena, Alata had managed to make his way over to Eri who was cornered by Battle Cossack. Alata kicked the orange warrior in the chest freeing his partner. He took Eri by the hand and the two started to run for the others. They didn't get far as AbareKiller used his super speed to trip them up, causing them to face plant on the metal surface. The Skick pair rolled to the backs to find TimeFire leaping into the air and firing his DV Defender at them. Alata and Eri rolled out of the way in opposite directions to avoid the beams. Once they were on the feet, Alata was tackled and rammed into the floor by Black Condor who dive-bombed him. Eri ran to help her secret crush when she was intercepted by AbareKiller. He slashed at her head with his Wing Pentact. Eri ducked and rolled forward still trying to reach Alata. She was intercepted again, this time by TimeFire. Eri spun to TimeFire's left to avoid his downward swinging blade and continued her way to Alata. Alata at this time was rolling on the ground with Black Condor trying to wrestle his Bird Blaster from the black Sentai. Eri had just reached the two when Battle Cossack grabbed her from behind and placed her in a Full Nelson. TimeFire and AbareKiller readied themselves to stab the pink angel. Alata for a moment looked up and saw what was to become of his beloved friend. Without even thinking, Alata got to his knees forcing Black Condor to point his cannon at Battle Cossack's back. Forcing his finger to pull the trigger, Black Condor fired a stream of energy that hit Cossack's right shoulder blade. This was enough for Eri to break lose and Judo through Cossack to the floor. After she rolled out of the way, Alata then forced Condor to fire upon TimeFire and AbareKiller. With sparks flying from their chests, the two sixth warriors flopped to their backs hitting the floor hard. With a forearm blow to the back of the neck, Alata temporarily dazed Black Condor and joined up with Eri. The Skick partners then made their way to help the Landick siblings.
While Alata and Eri had their scuffle, Agri and Moune had their hands full as well. It took some time but Agri was able to fight off Rio and Mele long enough to assist his little sister. Moune had just blocked a pair of roundhouse kicks from her predecessors when Agri spun Kirenger around and gave him a few punches and a kick to the sternum. With the opening Agri gave her, Moune jumped into the air and performed a Hurricanrana on Four Yellow. As the siblings bumped wrists, Rio and Mele appeared and fired a pair of energy orbs at the brother and sister angels. Though the beams did not make a direct hit, the explosion it caused from behind sent the two flying face first into the ground. As the RinJyuKen Warriors advanced on the downed angels, Alata and Eri jumped Rio and Mele from behind and engaged the Lion and Chameleon in hand to hand combat. This didn't last long though as TimeFire, Battle Cossack, Black Condor and AbareKiller joined the fight. Agri and Moune were able to help out once they got to their feet but they were still outnumbered and over powered. To make things worse, DragonRanger joined the fray along with Yellow Four and Kirenger.
Fourteen of the sixteen Sentai warriors were all in a nine on four beat down in the center of the pit. As for the other two, Hyde was still trying snap Magis out of whatever trance he was under. But it was to no avail. All around the arena the cheerful roars of the Vipers and Kobras rang out as the five angles took one blow after the next. The one being in the arena that was enjoying himself the most was the Quest Master. He looked down upon the gladiator pit and saw the pain that went across the faces of each Goseiger as they were being tossed back and forth between each punch and kick by the warriors he had resurrected. A smile of pure malice crossed his face. The more punishment the angles absorbed the more the Quest Master was enjoying himself. Just who were the people that stopped him in his universe and how are they connected to the Goseigers? I'm afraid the answer must come at a later time, as the events that are about to unfold will not only save the Goseigers, but another Sentai team as well.
On the outside of the fourteen brawling heroes, Hyde had wrestled away one of Magis' Seaick Sabers. The two Seaick angels were in the middle of a heated duel as they crossed swords. Despite not being able to henshin, Hyde proved himself to still be a formidable opponent for GoseiGreen. Hyde knew Magis very well and remembered every bit of his partner's technique. Every attacking strike Magis attempted was parried off by Hyde. No matter how fast or how hard Magis swung his blade, Hyde would block it with just the same speed and precision. At one point, Hyde and Magis were in a dead lock and neither would budge. "Magis…" Hyde said looking into the green angel's visor. Magis then broke the lock and kicked Hyde in the sternum. Hyde went flying back and landed on his back. Once he stood up, the blue angel saw that Magis had taken a familiar fighting stance. Magis held his index and middle fingers on the hilt of his blade and slid them across to the tip. All the while, a green light followed his fingers and engulfed the entire sword once it reached the end. Magis then raised the blade over his head. He held his weapon with both hands on the handle as he lowered the blade pointing the tip at Hyde. Hyde remembered this attack. Thinking back to his training days, Hyde remembered that this was the ready stance of the Seaick Full Force Strike. An attack where a Seaick Tribe angel places a good deal of his Tensou into his sword and stabs at the intended target. After focusing on his target, Magis lunged forward and was ready to stab Hyde in the heart. Fortunately, Hyde remembered that there was a counter to the attack. By use of a sword, a Seaick angel could parry the attack and send the Tensou back through the attacker temporarily subduing them. As Magis approached, Hyde took the stance to reverse the attack. When Magis made for the killing strike, Hyde intercepted the blade rolling it around in a counter clockwise motion forming a cross between the two as they brought the swords to the level of their chests. With all his might, Hyde pushed Magis back sending the green angel's Tensou surging through his body. As Magis fell backward, a dark energy came out of his body. All the energy left Magis by the time he hit the floor and rolled to his stomach. With Magis subdued for the time being, Hyde turned his attention to the ring of heroes in the center and rushed in to help his friends.
In the ring things were going terribly for the Goseigers. They fought honorable and bravely, but they were no match for this warriors while they where transformed. Had the angel been able to transform as well they would not be losing as badly as they are now. Hyde entered the fray with the Seaick Saber he took from Magis but even with a weapon in hand the he was just as overwhelmed by the nine like the other Goseigers. At one point, DragonRanger disarmed Hyde with his Zyusouken and the blade landed in front of the still downed Magis. But Magis won't be down for much longer as he began to stir. Back in the center the nine warriors opened fire upon the hapless angels. Sparks flew everywhere and even though none of the shots connected, the damage was done and the five fell to the ground.
The Quest Master looked down at the fallen angels and was very pleased with the outcome of the battle. "You fought very admirably Goseigers," he announces "but I'm afraid that it just wasn't good enough. My warriors! Kill them!"
The nine warriors readied themselves to deliver the final blow. On the ground, bloodied and battered, the angel braced themselves for the end. Agri placed a hand on Moune's shoulder to give her some reassurance. Hyde looked up at the nine in defiance. And though they weren't aware of it, Alata and Eri were both at this time, going to confess their love for each other.
"Eri," Alata began "there is something I need to tell you."
"And I have something to tell you, Alata."
As the Skick angels were about to tell the other how they felt, Magis lifted his head and looked forward. He was dazed and had little recollection to what was going on. But what caught his attention, was the five people lying on the flood in front of the nine warriors. All of a sudden he recognized one of the fallen people. "Hyde?" he said in shock. Then he suddenly remembered what had transpired. Magis then rose from the ground, grabbed his Seaick Sabers and leaped into the air. "HYDE!" Magis cried out catching the attention of all that were in the arena. When he landed, Magis stood in between his fellow Gosei angels and the nine warriors. Magis then turned around and sent out two streams of energy from his blades, taking down the nine. Everyone was in total shock. The Quest Master's eyes were bugging out of his head at this sudden turn of events.
"Hyde." Magis said turning to his partner. "Are you okay?"
"Magis." Hyde said hardly believing that his friend had returned to normal.
The reunion of Seaick partners had to be put on hold as the nine warriors rose to their feet and charged at the green angel. Taking notice of this, Magis prepared himself for his attackers. Once the resurrected warriors engaged the freed angel, Magis revealed that he did not use all of his powers while fighting Hyde. Magis was able to overwhelm the nine, slashing and cutting his attackers at every turn. Black Condor tried to attack from above, but Magis merely rolled back and double kicked the Jetman in the stomach sending him into Rio. Mele tried to disarm him with her Sais, but Magis reversed her attempt and ended up disarming her. The other seven warriors tried to circle Magis but he was able to get the better of them performing a break dancing like counter attack. By spinning on his hips and shoulders. Magis through kicks and swung his blades and the attackers and fended them all off.
"Whoa," Eri exclaimed "Magis is amazing."
"His technique is impressive." commented Alata.
"Could you imagine what it could have been like if he fought the Warstar with us." Added Agri.
"I can." Said Hyde. "Magis is a very skilled warrior. And he has extraordinary Tensou abilities. When he sacrificed himself to save me from Kurasunigo of 5000 degrease C, I didn't understand why he would do it because he was such an excellent fighter."
"Perhaps it is as you said," Moune started "at the time he had no other choose and he did what he had to do to save you."
"Maybe…" Hyde responded.
All the time Magis was taking the fight to the nine warriors, the Quest Master was standing in shock and wonder of how this could have happened. Every time he had brought a deceased warrior back to life, they were completely under his control and there was absolutely no way they could break free of it. At the time, the Quest Master did not see what was happening between Hyde and Magis as he was enjoying the site of the other angels getting pummeled by the nine. Had he seen what had what had transpired between the two Seaick angels, he still wouldn't have understood what happened. As you my have guessed, when Hyde sent Magis' Tensou back through him, it expelled all the evil influence within him and when Magis woke up he was no long under the influence of the Quest Master.
Once he had everything under control, Magis looked back at the other angels. He knew he had to get them out of there and he wasn't going to waste anymore time. "Connect Sabers!" Magi said combining his Seaick Sabers into one double-edged weapon. He began spinning the blades around and both began to glow green. "Seaick Whirlpool Slash!" cried the green angel as had lunged toward the nine warriors. One by one he cut them with both sides of his blades. Sparks flew and electricity surged around the nine as they collapsed to the floor.
"No!" the Quest Master yelled out in anger. "Vipers! Kobras! GET THEM!"
Magis then ran back to the others as the serpents descended into the pit. "Hang on everyone, I'm going to get us out of here." He pulled out his Tensouder and a Gosei Card from his belt. "Gotcha." the Tensouder said as Magis opened the mouth. "Seaick Fog Card." stated Magis. After placing the card in, Magis quickly closed the device wit a "Tensou" activating the card. A thick white mist came jetting out of the Tensouder. The fog spread throughout the whole arena. No one, not even the Quest Master could see what was going on. After a few seconds, the fog lifted all could be seen again. Looking down at the pit, the Quest Master could see the nine warriors, his serpents but no Goseigers. Enraged, the Quest Master yelled out on the top of his lungs. He had them, his vengeance was going to be carried out and they just slipped through his fingers. He then ordered his snakes to find the angels knowing that they could not have gone far.
Indeed the angels didn't go too far, but they were safe and out of danger for the time being. They were currently in some sort of tunnel in some unknown area. Magis demorphed and smiled back at Hyde who still couldn't believe that his partner was back from the dead. He then took out another Gosei Card and used its power to heal the injured angels. You see, Magis was very gifted when it came to healing others and most likely would have become a doctor had he lived to travel to Earth.
"Magis," said Hyde standing up and hugging his partner "you're really here. Please tell me that this isn't a dream."
"It's the real thing Hyde." Magis answered. "I missed you too." Magis then turned to the other angles. "I don't believe that we have properly been introduced. I am Magis of the Seaick Tribe, GoseiGreen." The four angels responded by bowing.
"I'm GoseiBlack, Agri of the Landick Tribe and this is my little sister Moune."
"GoseiYellow." Moune added.
"And we are from the Skick Tribe. I'm Alata, GoseiRed."
"And I'm GoseiPink, Eri."
After the introductions, a voice came echoing from the tunnel. "Tono!" said the voice. "Hang on, Tono!"
"What was that?" Moune asked.
"I don't know but from the sounds of it, someone must be in trouble." Answered Hyde.
"Then let's go find out who it is." Said Alata. The others all nodded and followed the red angel in the journey to help whoever it was that needed it.
For those of you that are wondering, Magis is not my own original character. He is 100% Super Sentai's. You my not have known or even remember but Toei dose explain in Goseiger why Hyde was the only one to represent the Seaick Tribe on the team. As stated in the story, Magis gave his life to save Hyde. This happened before episode one and is touched on in episode ten. The monster I mentioned was also Monster of the Day in episode 10. Also, Magis was protryed by Yousuke Itou, the man who protrayed Sen-chan from Dekaranger. And for those of you wondering about GoseiKnight, he will not be rejoining the others until the near end. I'm sorry to all of you that are fans of GosieKnight but for me, I don't like the fact that Toei made him the Sixth Ranger of the Goseigers. I like it better when the Sixth hero tends to look like the rest of the team and under normal circumstances, a character like GoseiKnight is put into the extra hero category. But that is just me. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and leave a comment if you so please.
