Disclaimer: I do not own God Eater.
It was a normal day at the Far East Branch, as normal as it could be with the Blood Unit around. Wolf and Rhaine were on their way to the lounge for a quick meal before their mission. The door slid open and the two brothers walked in. They stopped at the same time, their eyes focusing on a figure sitting in front of the bar counter.
It was a giant purple-black rabbit.
It was a God Eater dressed in an adorable giant purple-black rabbit costume.
"Rhaine, remember those mascot costumes we bought to prank the supervisor a few years back?"
"Technically, you bought them and tried to rope me into your schemes."
"Details," Wolf said, waving his brother off. "The point is that I may have just come up with the greatest idea ever!"
"Or the worst idea in existence…"
"Rhaine, as my brother, you're suppose to have absolute faith in me!"
"Faith does not glitterbomb a house and get us kicked out of the Satellite Base. Faith also does not paint the command center pink and get us kicked out of the Satellite Base."
"The general at the command center deserved it. Anyway, I got an idea that you might really like this time. It's probably better than that time I jury rigged the crane to slingshot that Borg Camlann that was climbing it! Actually, I don't think anything can compare to that."
"That was you?!" Rhaine exclaimed loudly. The other God Eaters in the lounge turned to look at Rhaine, wondering what was going on. Rhaine apologized sheepishly before dragging his brother out of the room. "Okay, fine, what is your 'greatest idea ever'?" Rhaine asked, folding his hands in front of his chest.
"So...it's like this…"
It took awhile to explain Wolf's 'greatest idea ever'. So long that they had to stop in the middle of the explanation to go to Rhaine's room to continue in privacy. And when Wolf was done explaining, Rhaine was fully on board.
"Alright, I'm in. This really might be one of your better ideas so far. Will you be able to convince that God Eater?"
"Sure thing bro or I'll die trying!" Wolf answered, fist pumping.
"Yeah, no, I still need you on my team. Even if you blow us up with your bullets most of the time. That only leaves with the rest of the roles…"
"I know a few people who would fit."
"Alright, I'll leave them to you. I'll handle the venue and event. Send me a mail once you've gathered the people and we'll meet the day after to practice."
"Got it!"
As it turns out, the giant purple-black rabbit is a mute who conveys his feelings into gestures. Wolf managed to figure out that the God Eater's name is Kigurumi, no help from Kigurumi of course. At least Kigurumi was happy to help out in bringing his plan to fruition...at least that is what Wolf thinks Kigurumi is saying. He can't tell from the frantic waving.
Wolf also believes that Kigurumi is male because honestly, he had just hugged Kigurumi, thanking him for his help and Wolf does not need another complaint for accidental sexual assault for being oblivious, again.
Regardless, it was one person down and only two more to go. He could only hope that it would be just as easy to convince them.
As it turns out, it was just as easy to convince them. He did not even need to resort to bribing them with chocolate cake!
A few days later…
The venue was set in the outer ghettos. A stage was erected in front of the Fenrir building overnight, made from the discarded materials around the Far East Branch and held together with liberal use of duct tape.
Yuno, the famous idol who had been passing through the Far East at that time, had been roped in to compose and sing the opening theme thanks to Kota. The crowd of people from the outer ghettos, mostly consisting of children, were gathered in front of the stage. And with that, the Animal Rangers are finally ready to make their grand entrance.
Animal Rangers! Animal Rangers!
Slaying Aragamis at the speed of light!
Bringing peace and justice to the world!
Animal Rangers! We are the Animal Rangers!~
The opening theme played from the speakers beside the stage while the children cheered. Kota ran onto the stage, he whipped out a microphone and began speaking excitedly. "Hey there and thanks for coming! Are you all excited to meet the Animal Rangers?"
The children cheered louder than before while the adults started clapping.
"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let us welcome the Animal Rangers! Introducing White Tiger!"
Wolf, dressed in a full body white colored tiger costume with black stripes, leaped onto the stage, doing a few forward flips in mid air. He landed on one knee before standing up straight, his hands in the air above him. His god arc was spinning towards him from the left (Licca made a machine that could shoot god arcs at things, Director Sakaki wanted to know if it could be weaponized) and Wolf grabbed it with his right hand while spinning to face the audience. He ended by entering combat stance, his god arc gleamed under the sunlight.
"Show off," Gil muttered from the side of the stage, peering up at Wolf. He and Julius were on guard duty, a job that he was thankful for. He really did not want to give more ammunition to Romeo and Wolf for teasing if he had to act on stage.
"Next up, Black Bear!"
Rhaine, who was in a black teddy bear costume, opted to sprint onto the stage from the stairs on the left, sliding to a stop beside Wolf, his god arc already in his hands when he went on stage as he mirrored Wolf's pose.
"Now, Purple Rabbit!"
Kigurumi ran onto the stage towards Wolf and Rhaine, stopping mid way to wave frantically at the audience, his god arc in the air in his right hand, making the children squeal in delight. He (Wolf adamantly thinks that Kigurumi is male no matter what anyone says) continued his way to them, and posing beside Rhaine, using the same combat pose.
"And finally, Red Raccoon!"
Alisa peered out from behind the stage near the right staircase to the stage. She wondered how she was roped into doing this...oh yeah, curse Wolf and his adorable puppy dog eyes.
She took a deep breath to calm herself before she ran up the stage, only to trip on the top step of the staircase. She fell face first. Momentum carried her as she slid to a stop in front of Wolf.
Everyone was silent as they stared at the unfortunate Red Raccoon. "Are you okay?" Rhaine asked, breaking the silence.
Alisa immediately got up from the ground and stood up straight. She then made a hundred eighty degrees turn and made a run off the stage. "I'm sorry! I can't do this anymore!" Alisa cried as she ran away.
"Nooooo! Red Raccoon, come back!" Wolf cried out, his arm reaching out as he fell to the ground dramatically.
"So...is it my turn to come out?" a God Eater wearing an Ogretail mask asked, popping out from behind the stage.
