Episode 10: Mingling Heroes

Opening Theme: Your Choice, Dear Reader!

"Here we are, Cave Sweet Cave." Genta said as he lead Daigoyou, Dan Moriboshi, the Six Dekarangers, Ban, Hoji, Sen-chan, Jasmine, Umeko, and Tetsu, along with Souji Tendou, into the cave that he and the other heroes they had met were living in. Looking around, any one of them would see all of the activity as it was happening. Ryutaros was over in one corner, drawing pictures with Natsuki(once again leaning against the Sword mode of Zuuban), Kotoha Hanaori, and Amazon. Ryutaros was drawing Amazon, in his rider form, ripping apart a man in green bull like armor. Everyone else's drawings were of landscapes, vehicles, or whatever else suited their fancies.

Gamu Takeyama and Shin Auska appeared to be in a spirited debate over whose Ultra form was more powerful, Gamu's argument being that an analysis of Gaia's attacks revealed that every time it was used it was stronger than the time before that. Auska's argument was that strength came from heart, and nothing could stop a determined person.

Chiaki and Masumi were in the middle of an arm wrestling match, with Ryunosuke, Souta, and Eiji cheering for their respective teammates. Momotaros, Kintaros, and Urataros were also watching and cheering for their particular preference in character. The green and black rangers seemed to be even, however, and slowly the veins of both began to appear on their respective foreheads as they vainly attempted to overwhelm each other.

Takeru, Mako, Satoru, Sakura, and Ryotaro were simply watching everything as it happened, the only difference between the two sets of red and pink rangers(to Sakura's irritation) was that at some point Mako slipped her hand into Takeru's.

"Why can't I be that open?" Sakura thought.

"Take-chan!" Genta shouted in his typical over dramatic tone, "I'm back! And I've found more Lost Heroes!"

"Lost Heroes?" Tendou asked

"Our term for people we find out there that are on our side." Genta said.

Soon enough, the additional "Lost Heroes" began to mingle with the people already present in the cave, although there was a brief moment of panic when the newcomers nearly attacked the Imagin due to their appearances.

Kotoha, Mako, and Natsuki immediately began wrenching relationship details out of Jasmine and Umeko, with all five girls speaking of high and low points of their relationships. Sakura, while standing away from the group, was silently taking notes.

Takeru, Satoru, Ban, and Tendou conversed about their respective fighting styles, and once that topic was exhausted, Takeru listened with great interest on Tendou's cooking skills. Perhaps he could teach Mako a few things...

Chiaki,Ryunosuke, Genta, Masumi, Souta, Eiji,Hoji, Tetsu, Auska, Dan, Amazon, Ryotaro, and all four Imagin spoke to each other on various topics, such as battles won, people lost, friends and enemies made, etc. Gamu and Sen-chan spoke as two geniuses were ought, spoke of their educations and respective achievements.

When all were hungry, food containers were opened and prepared by Genta and Tendou (while politely nudging Mako away from all cooking utensils). The food was hot and all bellies were full, making it so all gathered heroes went to various corners of the cave to sleep. Chiaki/Kotoha, Masumi/Natsuki, Takeru/Mako, Sen/Umeko, Hoji/Jasmine and (attempted) Satoru/Sakura all gathered in private corners, or as close to that as could be obtained given the circumstances. Guard Duty that night was passed to Tetsu and Gamu.

The next day began with a resounding crash.

All heroes immediately got up and out of the cave, only to see a large Dinosaurian monster, Algona, walking right toward the cave-hill. The monster roared, and then a small sphere appeared in front of the monster's head. Inside was the member of the Darkness Five, Surai of Dark Magic.

"This is the day you die, heroes!" the armored alien shouted.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck, and three giants, all Dora Titans, appeared. Evil laughing filled the air as the Witch Bandora appeared on her flying bicycle.

"No, you otherworldly fool! They are mine to destroy!" Bandora shouted with extreme hammyness.

"No!" Two Gel Shocker kaijin that leapt out of the ground shouted, one a cross between a wild boar and a rhinoceros beetle, Inokabuton, and the other a moray eel and a turtle, Utsubogames.

"Well," Satoru said as he reached for his Accelular, "It looks like all of our enemies have gotten the same idea."

Suddenly, a blue light fell down from the sky and crashed in front of the four giants, revealing a blue Ultraman…

"Agul!" Gamu called. Ultraman Agul stood full height, getting into his battle pose.

"We'll go help him, Take-chan!" Genta said, slapping the shoulders of his two fellow sixth rangers as he did so.

Takeru observed for a moment before telling his childhood friend "Good Luck."

The three sixth rangers stood together and readied their transformation devices.

"Emergency! Dekabreak!"

When Tetsu activates his Brace Throttle, form fitting space metal, Dekametal, is released, and forms around him to from his Dekasuit.

"GoGo Changer! Start Up!"

"Ikkan Kenjo!"

When the light faded, the three sentai Sixth rangers stood proud.

"Attacking Outrageous Evil! Shattering the Darkness of Fear! The Detective of the Daybreak! DekaBreak!"

"The Dazzling Adventurer! Bouken Silver!

"Shinken Gold! Umemori Genta! Going Forth!"

The three then leapt into the air and called their respective Mecha.

"DekaBike, Launch! Tokusou Henkei! DekaBike Robo!"

"Hasshin Shift On! Siren, Aider, Police, GoGo! Gattai Shift on! Siren Formation! Kinkyu GoGo Gattai, SirenBuilder!"

"Samurai Henkai! DaikaiOh!"

The three Mecha landed on opposite sides of Agul, who regarded them quickly.

Just as the two Gel-Shocker kaijin were about to attack the group on the ground, a time portal opened, and out came a green train with a drill at the front of it, ZeroLiner. As it went by, three individuals stood in front of them.

'Yuuto!" Ryotaro shouted.

"Odebu!" Momotaros also shouted, only for the one he spoke to to turn around and shout back "Its Deneb!"

"Kagami…" Souji said calmly.

Sure enough, the ones who had disembarked Zeroliner were indeed Yuuto Sakurai, his Imagin Partner Deneb, and Arata Kagami.

"Tendou!" Kagami shouted as the Gatack Zector flew into his hand, "We'll handle them!"

"Henshin!" Yuuto and Kagami shouted.

Henshin

Cast Off

Change Stag Beetle

Altair Form

Kamen Riders Gatack and Zeronos stood together for a few moments before Zeronos pointed at the enemy and said "I'll tell you at the start, I'm fairly strong."

After a few more moments, Agul, Dekabike, SirenBuilder, Daikaioh, Gatack, and Zeronos faced their enemies down.

And then, chaos.

Ultraman Agul leapt into the air and kicked Algona three times in the face, before landing in front of the monster. Algona roared and attempted to hit the blue ultra by slamming both of its arms against him, but Agul caught them. Pushing Algona's arms aside, Agul then punched the monster in the gut with both fists, forcing the monster to stagger. With that opening, Agul charged energy into his head, and fired the attack, the Photon Crusher, into the monster's chest. Like an attack from Gaia, the monster exploded multiple times from the top to the bottom.

Zeronos slashed Utsubogames in the chest with his ZeroGasher sword, sparks flying as the kaijin fell over onto the ground. As he got to his feet, Utsubogames fired a stream of gas form his mouth, making Zeronos cough as he struggled to breath.

"Yuuto!" Deneb shouted as he fired off several bullets from his fingertips, which exploded against the turtle/eel monster, making him back off.

"Yuuto, are you alright?" Deneb asked, only for his rider partner to put him in a headlock.

"Why didn't you help me earlier, baka?" Zeronos demanded.

"Yuuto...you're hurting me!" Deneb sputtered as he struggled to get free from Zeronos's headlock.

The green rider released him and said "Well Deneb, you get to finish him." As he said this, Zeronos removed the Zeronos card from the Zero Buckle, and flipped it around, revealing the yellow side of it. He then slid it into the Zero Buckle

Vega Form

Deneb placed his hands on each of Zeronos's shoulders, and they became twin shoulder cannons. Zeronos's armor was switched out for a bulkier set, and the ZeroKamen was formed from a drill. Vega Form Zeronos swung the ZeroGasher Sword, making a small crater from under him and the wind start blowing.

"I'll tell you at the start, the face on my chest is a decoration!" Zeronos declared.

"Deneb! Just finish him off already!" Yuuto shouted from within. Vega form then switch the ZeroGasher formation into Bowgun form. Zeronos then pressed the button on the top of the belt.

Full Charge

Zeronos the pulled out the card and placed the card into the Bowgun, transferring it's energy into it. Zeronos then unceremoniously pointed the weapon at Utsubogames, and fired. The monster exploded and that was that.

Clock Up

Gatack zipped around his foe, Inokabuton. The kaijin could not keep up with Gatack as he slashed the monster over and over again with his twin Double Caliber swords.

Clock Over

Gatack stopped 10 feet in front of his foe, and Inokabuton rushed forward. Gatack then put the Double Caliber into a formation reminiscent of a pair of scissors and shouted

"Rider Cutting!"

Rider Cutting

Yellow energy surrounded the Double Caliber as Inokabuton jumped into the air. Gatack merely raised his weapon upward and caught the monster, and then pushed the blades together. Inokabuton vanished in an eruption of fire.

"Lobster Claw True Ability PayBack!" Shinken Gold shouted from within Daikaioh, as the Lobster mecha's claws struck one of the Dora Titans, knocking the monster to the ground as it exploded.

"Knuckle Vulcan!" Bouken Silver ordered as SirenBuilder fired both of its fists at it's Dora Titan, with the same result.

"Sword Tornado!" DekaBreak shouted as DekaBike Robo spun at high speed, cleaving the Dora Titan it fought and… you know what? Every enemy in tokusatsu explodes. Should I stop mentioning it?

Anyway, with all foes vanquished, Ultraman Agul, Daikaioh, SirenBuilder, DekaBike Robo, Kamen Rider Zeronos, and Kamen Rider Gatack stood together. As the other heroes stood in awe of their allies strength, one would wonder if it was only the beginning…

Hiroshi Fujimiya(Agul), Yuuto Sakurai(Zeronos), Deneb, and Arata Kagami(Gatack) soon made themselves at home in the network of caves on the hill. The only incident that occurred was when Yuuto found the image that Ryutaros drew of Amazon killing him… but that is something for another time. With our heroes numbers increasing, more hope began to appear that they would, indeed, return home.

Ending Theme: Choose Your Own!

Well, Dear Readers, that was chapter 10! Thank you to everyone that has read this story so far. But as I said above, this is only the beginning of what I have in store for our heroes. And many more are on the way. But where are they? How did they get here? Why are Gel-Shocker, the Bandora Gang, and the Darkness Five all present? Well, you won't find out unless you keep reading, right?

For those who like quizzes, here are a few brain teasers to spend some time on.

1: What does Gamu Takayama transform into Ultraman Gaia with?

2: What is the power the Shinkengers use called?

3: What is Amazon's real name?

Once you get these figured out, I hope you will be more excited to read chapter 11! See you then!

P.S. Do you think I could get a TV Tropes Page?
