Task 29: ORE SANJOU!
Voyager.
3 days after the initial planar explosion:
Tuvok sat in the captain's chair, looking towards the helm, where Xalvadora was filling in for the helmsman.
"Doctor," Tuvok said, "Status Report."
"We're still two days out from the Wormhole... I can't believe we're in the Gamma Quadrant... though," Dora said,
"Angellos to Doce, Could you come down to the Med Deck?"
"On my way."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sugimori Corp Building,
B3
Anni grinned as the Powergrid sputtered back to life.
"Jackpot," Dickson said, "How long until we can have some sensors around here?"
"Give me a day..." Anni said, "With out voyager's tech staff, i'll have to rewire some of this."
"I'll help," Kira said, "Remember, I do have a good bit of engineering knowledge."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tommy sat in the lower office area, waiting until Dickson walked in to say anything.
"You know," Tommy said, "What you did 3 days ago was unacceptible."
"Oh?" Dickson said, "I thought killing that monster was quite alright, albiet the planes kinda got clusterfucked in the process..."
"You know that's not what i'm talking about," Tommy said, "Have you looked at the conditions of the rangers lately?"
"Yeah, they're healing quite nicely," Dickson said, "Anni has a future ahead of herself in medicine."
"You're dodging my question," Tommy said, "WHY DID YOU ATTACK THEM!?!"
"They got turned into the enemy," Dickson said, nonchalantly, "I attack the enemy. That simple, really."
"But they're power rangers! You don't just--"
"Whoa, whoa... hold up, boyscout," Dickson said, "First off, Yeah, they're power rangers. Last time I checked, in my realm, their predecessors died a very violent death. Second off, What would you have done in that situation? Beg like a little bitch before Bol-ass took over your mind? I know full well the so-called 'rules' of rangerdom, Tommy... and they're bullshit.... but what would a fucking power ranger know about real warfare..."
"What did you say?" Tommy said.
"You think you're all badass," Dickson said, "But when the rangers went and risked their lives, when Anni risked being put under the same spell to help me save them, Who stayed here cowering behind the almighty Tritanium infrastructure of Tower 01?"
Tommy heard enough, and struck out at the powerful warrior, nailing Dickson on the chin.
Dickson sighed before sending Tommy flying into a wall.
"Don't do that again, Tommy," Dickson said, "Next time, not even Sugimori will be able to save you."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
2 days later, Somewhere...
A futuristic train came to a stop, jarring its passengers out of their reveries.
Inside the train, a sharp dressed man sighed.
"It seems... that the train of time... is stuck..."
"Owner," A young girl in a white sweater and black skirt said, "Do you think That place is where He landed?"
"I am fairly sure of it, Hana...However, due to the recent planar devastation... all we can do is leave a Pass, and hope that he finds it... we cannot stop in the Unyarou... lest we be lost as well..."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
7 Days later
Sugimori awoke as the stasis pod opened up, the first sight he saw being Dora.
"Oh.. hey!" Sugimori said, "Long time no see..."
"Kev!" Dora said, looking up upon hearing Sugimori's voice, "You're up!"
"Of course," Sugimori said, nonchalantly, stiffly stepping out of the stasis pod after stretching, "Man, I had a weird dream.... that Nicol bolas attacked... and the planes were messed up."
Dora hesitated before beginning.
"Kev...." Dora said, "Nicol Bolas did attack... the force of the resulting multiversal explosion fused quite a few planes... into the Unyarou itself..."
"The rangers?" Sugimori asked, as Dora handed him his coat.
"I don't Know," Dora said, "We're just entering Vulcan space at this moment..."
"Why are we in Vulcan space?" Sugimori asked.
"The Voyager was knocked into the Gamma Quadrant..." Dora said, "We've been going top speed to get home as fast as possible, but some of our systems were damaged in the multiversal flux."
"Gee, I'm out for two weeks and everything goes to shit," Sugimori said, grinning, "Am I released to go to my quarters?"
"Go on ahead, Admiral," Angelos said from her console, looking up, "Be careful though. You aren't Joseph."
"And i'm extremely proud of that,:" Sugimori said, "Thank you, Angelos."
With that, sugimori and Dora left the medbay, heading towards Sugimori's personal quarters.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Present day
A few hours later.
The Swan ranger crept through Floor 25 as the odd mole like monsters that had infested the building looked for her.
"Bingo!" Anni said as the monsters fell into her trap. However, one leaped at her, dodging the trap...
"Entrance Denied," Phoenix Ranger said, appearing out of nowhere, and catching the monster.
"Daddy?" Anni said in bewilderment.
"Hey pumpkin," Sugimori said, knocking the monster into oblivion.
"Dickson to Anni," Dickson said over the comlink, "I'm not picking up any more mole bastards.
"You can thank me for that," Sugimori said, patching into the comlink, "I'll meet you on the top floor."
"Aren't you supposed to be dead?" Dickson said with mock horror, "Oh Noes, Zombies on the comlink!"
"Haha," Sugimori said, sprinting towards the Jeffries Tubes with Anni quickly in tow, "Braaaains..."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sugimori Corp – Sugimori's Office.
Sugimori grinned as the engineering teams finally restored power to the whole building.
"Sugimori to Sabrina, what's your location?"
"Safety bunker 4."
"Good." Sugimori said, 'Carry on, bring me a--"
"Mister Sugimori," Sabrina said, 'You're Back!"
"That's the unfortunate rumor," Sugimori said, "Haven't you figured it out yet? The only thing that could really keep me out of the game would be death while dead... That's hard to do."
"True, sir..." Sabrina said.
"Bring me a status report on the situation when you can." Sugimori said, "Sugi out."
"Kev," Dickson said, "I'd be wary of your brother. He's licking his wounds after I kinda swatted him across the room."
"I'll put my phaser on stun then," Sugimori said, doing just that, before ducking as Dora walked into the Office, the Phoenix Soul in her hand.
"Hey," Dora said, "There's a remodeled talking Zord waiting to see her favorite controller."
Sugimori grinned as Dora tossed him the Phoenix soul, before putting the soul into the morpher.
As the Hologram appeared, Sugimori grinned, "Hey PH, Looks like you've grown some armor."
"Kiiuun!" The Phoenix Zord said, "Yessir! Miss Dora's even changed my name to Phoenix Carrier!"
"Fits," Sugimori said, tapping the hologram on its nose, "It's good to see you back, PC."
"Now all we need is a mac," Anni said, getting a laugh from everyone.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
An hour later
Tommy walked into Sugimori's office, finding sugimori playing a shooter on his computer.
"Hey bro... we need to talk." Tommy said.
"Give me a sec," Sugimori said, "I need 2 more kills."
Sugimori sighed as the game crashed 2 seconds later.
"Damnit....." Sugimori said, "Hey bro, what can I do you out of today?"
"You need to do something about Dickson... he's a menace to rangers everywhere." Tommy said.
"Oh really?" Sugimori said, "How so?"
"He attacked the rangers." Tommy said, "He injured Cassie."
"Cassie's a tough girl, she'll get over it," Sugimori said, "And besides, you're leaving out the biggest part."
"Oh?" Tommy said.
"Dickson wouldn't arbitrarily attack the rangers. There'd have to be something else at play, as in Bolas taking over their minds." Sugimori said, "Dora told me about the battle, since she was monitoring it from Voyager."
"But he ATTACKED POWER RANGERS!" Tommy said, "That's against all the Rules Zordon gave us when we first became rangers!"
"Tidbits of bullshit that don't exactly apply to Dickson," Sugimori said, "If you haven't yet noticed, He isn't a Ranger. Joe's just a powerful warrior with a high tech suit of armor."
"Bullshit?" Tommy seethed with anger, "And then your daughter told me to get the fuck out of her way and knocked the dogpiss out of me in the process."
"Good for her," Sugimori said, "She's coming along quite nicely."
"That whore doesn't have any respect for her elders. How do you expect her to run a goddamned company!"
"Wait..." Sugimori said, arming his morpher underneath the desk, "What... did... you... say?"
Tommy armed his own morpher, "I said... That whore has no place running this company."
Sugimori cleared his desk as he lunged at Tommy, fangs bared as he connected with a right hook to the older dragon's jaw.
"Get up and morph," Sugimori said, activating his ranger form.
Tommy got up and charged his younger brother, morphing as he lunged at the young warrior, sending them both through the plate glass window.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"There's damage on the top floor," Dora said, monitoring the indoor scanners... Also.... two morph signatures... one DT... one--"
"Guys!" Lily said, running into the room, "Check out camera 22!"
Dora, Anni, Dickson, Kira, and Lily all watched as the scene unfolded.
"Oh.... hell..." Dickson said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sugimori charged forward, the protodagger in his right hand as Tommy used energy orb after energy orb to try to subdue his brother.
"Quit hiding behind those fucking orbs!!!" Sugimori said, summoning Serenity, "Fight like a MAN!"
Tommy grimaced as he blocked the mythical greatsword with his staff, pain splintering through his body as sugimori hammered home shot after shot.
"You know," Sugimori said, showing a bit of mercy, backstepping and letting Tommy breathe for a few seconds, "Something must be bothering you if you're making stupid mistakes like these..."
"It's none of your damned business..." Tommy said, arming Super Dino Mode.
"Fine..." Sugimori said, "Dora, I need the Battilizer."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Kev..." Dora said, looking at the screen, "He's your brother!"
Dickson looked at Dora before looking back at the screen.
"Dora...." Sugimori said, wincing as Tommy's powered up form slammed into him, "I promise I won't kill him.."
"I'm sending it," Dora said, tapping on her keyboard, "I sent the mode two card."
"Thanks," Sugimori said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sugimori grinned under his helmet as the Battilizer brace appeared on his right wrist, with the Vega form card in his left hand. "And since i'm in the japanese mood today.... CHOU HENSHIN!"
As sugimori swiped the card, the Battilizer formed the Vega mode over his ranger suit.
"Glad to know the Damn thing is unisex," Tommy said, charging up his staff for a final attack.
"Heh," Sugimori said, "Full Charge."
As Tommy ran forward, Sugimori hit the button on the battilizer brace three times
"1"
"2"
"3"
"Vega Kick!" Sugimori said, sliding the brace back before putting it back in its normal position.
"Vega Kick!" The device said, the same golden glow permeating around Sugimori's left leg.
As Tommy got in close, Sugimori unleashed the kick, nailing his brother in the chest, sending the veteran ranger into the wall, demorphing him.
As Tommy fell to his knees, coughing up blood, Sugimori demorphed and came over to him squatting down, all the anger he had exibited in the fight now seemingly gone.
"What are you gonna do now?" Tommy said, "Kill me?"
"Nope," Sugimori said, "I've done enough to you. However, I advise you to watch what you say next time... Let's just say I know the truth about... the fallen yellow..."
Tommy's eyes bugged out for a second, "You... you know?"
"Don't make me tell Kim about it..." Sugimori said, "You're my brother, I don't want to see you dead... now come on, let's get you cleaned up. Kim will KILL ME if she saw you in this shape."
Sugimori extended a hand and sighed, "By the by... I'm still furious with you about calling my daughter a whore. But there's more important things to do in this world... like finding survivors..."
With that, Sugimori lifted his brother up and supported Tommy as they made it to the Elevator.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So he called your daughter a whore, Tried to use a juvenile excuse to try to get me removed from a team i'm not even on, and you let him keep his damned morpher? HE's not fit to scrub your boots, bro... Why?"
"Because," Sugimori said, "I know something that would ruin his life... and possibly get him killed... And no, I won't tell you... This is between my brother and I."
"That's cool," Dickson said, "You're the more forgiving guy anyway."
"Who said i'm forgiving him?" Sugimori said, "But my human oba-chan said this, 'Even though one may do us terrible wrong, to let it foster a grudge is to allow true evil into your heart.'"
As sugimori said that, he raised his right hand, pointing at the sky.
"Wise woman." Dickson said.
As the two continued talking, no one noticed a shimmering yellow ball floating, steadily heading towards the Sugimori Corp building.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Part 2: Climax Jump
Sugimori ran down main street, surveying what damage had occurred.
"That's good..." Sugimori said, "Only a few businesses... and only 28 casualties."
As sugimori said this, a yellow orb started closing in on him...
Sugimori started running again, only to see a few Anti-Dragon League folks blocking his way.
"Good morn' Gentlemen," Sugimori said, wiping his brow as he stopped.
"What the hell do you want, Firebreather?" The leader of the small group said.
"Well," Sugimori said, "I'm trying to get my morning 4 mile jog in. you're in my way."
"Your point?" one of the other humans said, pulling a knife "This street was built by humans. You're just a fucking Dragon. Get the hell out of here before we kill your ass."
"Hehe," Sugimori said, dropping into a stance, "Bring it on."
Before sugimori could do anything else, he felt the hand of Dickson on his shoulder, "Hey buddy, you ain't getting into too much trouble with the peons, are you?"
"Hey man," The leader said, "What do you think you're doing? He's a Dragon! He's scum!"
"And his mom would have skinned you alive and used your skin for talismans," Dickson said, "And geez, what's wrong with not being human? I mean hell, I look human, but i'm about as human as Sugi here's a tyrannical bastard.
"I mean, Shit, where I come from, being called a human is an insult. My race is a proud race that's known for many accomplishments.
Four of the young men slipped away as Dickson continued his spiel.
"Of course, you humans wouldn't know achievement if it reached up and kicked you in the...."
"ZZZZzzzz" Sugimori said, curled up on the ground asleep.
"Wow," Dickson said, "I ran them off and put Sug to bed for the night... Cool!"
"You done yet?" Sugimori asked, stretching and getting up.
"Yep," Dickson said, "I was checking up on the Upper ward and you just happened to come into view. Good thing too. Kicking random idiot ass is my job."
"True..." Sugimori said, "See you back at base... I'm gonna keep on running."
"Be careful," Dickson said, earning a nod from his friend.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sugimori kept on running, not noticing the noticeable crack in the pavement. As he started to fall, a yellow orb slammed into him... causing sand to go everywhere.
"Man... that was rough... Where did all this sand come from?" Sugimori said, seeing a sand demon appear in front of him.
"I will grant you one wish... but you must pay me with one thing." The demon said.
"Hehe, I must be seeing things." Sugimori said, running through the sand demon.
"HEY, WAIT!" The demon said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As sugimori exited the City limits, a red tinged Psychotic was waiting for him.
"Ah... just as Master Drenacouloshan said.... You're here..." the monster said, firing a blast that hit sugimori head on.
As the flames subsided, however, the monster stepped back a bit.
Sugimori... or what seemed to be Sugimori, stood there, a confident smirk on his face. However, his recently cut hair was now wildly spiked, with part of the hair tinged red.
"Ore..." The possessed Sugimori said, "Sanjou!"
"What the hell?" The monster said.
"Why does it matter, you ugly bastard!" Sugi (?) said, "But if you want a fight.... Let me warn you. From start to finish, I'm always at a climax!"
^Dirty mind, I see..." Sugimori said telepathically to the being controlling his body, "What are you doing? And what's your name?^
"What does it look like? I'm fighting this moron! And who I am isn't important!"
"What the hell are you talking about?" The Psychotic said, "Lord Drenacouloshan sent me, the great Momotauros, to kill this fool?"
"Momotaros?!?! That's My name!"
^Ah^ Sugimori thought ^We might need to fight him then, Momo."
"Ok, How do you Henshin?"
^See that weird gun thing? Put the soul in that and say Tune up."
"Ok....... Tune Up!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Guys," Dora said, "I thought there was something wrong with the scanners, but lookit this."
"Ok, Kev's fighting a monster... Why weren't the klaxons blaring?" Kira said.
"Cause I thought the sensors were picking up false positives... then one of those entered Kev... Listen to this..."
As the rangers watched the footage, RJ just scratched his head, "Ore Sanjew?"
"No," Cassie said, "Ore Sanjou. In japanese, it means 'I've arrived'."
"It sounds exactly the same," Rj said,.
"No, the way you said it sounded racist." Anni said.
"Hehe," Lily said, "Let's go."
"How is it racist?" RJ said, "I'm confused."
"COME ON!" Lily said, dragging RJ out of the base.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hissatsu..." M-Phoenix Ranger said, "Ore no Hissatsu Waza!"(My hissatsu attack.)
M-Phoenix Ranger slashed with the Protodagger, an ethereal red blade slashing the beasty.
"Part 2!"M-Sugimori said before the final strike, which made the Psychotic Momo teleport out.
"Ah.... M-Sugimori said as he Demorphed, "That... was fun..."
As M-Sugimori stretched, Sugimori forced the bieng out of him, causing a Red Demon like being to fall to the ground.
"HEY!" Momotaros said, "Wait... I... I have my body back!"
"Heh, You must not be a psychotic," Sugimori said, "You're too bright and annoying."
"Eh?" Momotaros said, "What'd you call me?"
"Stop right there!" Anni said as the rangers made it to the scene.
"Guys, Stop." Sugimori said as the rangers armed their weapons, "This demon's why that monster's gone."
"DEMON?" Momotaros said, "I'm an Imagin!"
"Emma Gin?" RJ said, "That's a weird name, but ok, Emma."
"IMAGIN!" Momotaros said, before Sugimori punched him in the gut.
"Keep it down, Peaches." Sugimori said, before cracking his knuckles menacingly.
"MY NAME ISN'T PEACHES!!! OOF!" Momotaros said, as sugimori nailed him in the gut, "THAT'S NOT COOL!"
"Kev," Dora said as Sugimori dragged an unconscious Momotaros in, "How did you get stuck with one of those?"
"You know what Imagin are?" Sugimori said, "If so, mind fillin' us in?"
"Sure," Dora said, "In a Dimension similar to ours, there's a group of beings called Imagin that was, in 2007, trying to change the past so that they would rule the future. However, there were a few Imagin who refused to do the bidding of the villain who had created them."
"And..." Momotaros said, waking up, still in Sugimori's iron grip, "I'm one of those who were on the good guys side... That is... until that weird vortex stuck me here... without a body until I found you."
"My bad luck must've been Guinness level for this to happen," Sugimori said, "But what makes you so special."
"This," Dora said, holding up a small black object, "Joe's encountered this before... It's a Liner Pass. If someone called a Singularity point uses the Liner Pass, they can become a warrior called Den-O... "
"Sounds Japanese..." Sugimori said, "Wait a minute... Momotaros... You're Den-O, aren't you?"
"I can become Den-O on my own, but.. my power's amplified when someone i'm posessing becomes Den-O."
"Den-O..." Sugimori said, his eyes gleaming with recognition, "Kamen Rider Den-O."
"Kamen Rider?" Dora said, "You know of them?"
"My Dad told me a bit about them when I was a small fry, before the attacks on Arcadia...," Sugimori said, "Kamen is the Japanese word for Mask, roughly, so Kamen Rider is Masked Rider. Don't get it confused with that little prissy fuck who was running around trying to stop that guy who had invaded his dad's alien kingdom... He's not even considered anyone of those."
"But how do you know so much about Kamen Riders?"
Sugimori grinned before pointing his index finger towards the ceiling, "Oba-chan said this: Know as much as you can about those who protect humanity, The more you know, the less alone you really are."
"Good line," Momotaros said.
Sugimori finally let Momotaros go, right as the Klaxons blared.
"That red bastard is back." Sugimori said, "Momo, You can use this pass, right?"
"Yep."
"Rangers... and Momo, Ikuze! (Let's Go!)" Sugimori said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As The rangers and the Imagin made it to the battle Location, Momotauros was waiting.
"Ah, The rangers from earlier..." the evil Psychotic said, "Prepare to die.."
"I don't think so," Momo said, a belt appearing in his hand before he fastened it around his waist, "You die."
"Ready?" Sugimori said.
"Ready!"
"Let's... Tune UP!"
"Hehe..." Momo said, pressing a red button on the belt, "Henshin!"
As he swiped the pass over the belt, the belt's AI said "Sword Form."
"Let's do this," Sugimori said, arming the Megabatilizer, "Form 3? eh... New card Dora?"
"Yep," Dora said, "Though I admit, you're still recovering... Let someone who's fully healed use it."
"Lily," Sugimori said, "Have fun."
"Yessir!" Lily said, swiping the Mode 3 card through the Battilizer brace.
"Zero Form!" The brace said as Rust red armor appeared over Lily's chest, with similar colored armor over the shoulders, back, and legs. To finish, the visor on lily's helmet split slightly, revealing a track where a new helmet ornamentation affixed itself.
As the Rangers ran forward, The main five armed the new weapons that Dora had been working on... the Mach-Gashers.
"Final Attack..." The brace said as Lily pressed the button on the brace, "Ballistic Tornado!"
As the brace said this, Lily's CheetaGasher (A sword like weapon made of 4 different pieces) gained a golden glow as the powered up ranger spun around like a tornado, slamming into Momotauros.
"My turn!" Momo said, his DenGasher in sword mode as he swiped the Liner Pass across the Set touch of the Den-O belt.
"Full Charge" The belt said.
"Hissatsu!" Momo and Sugimori said, the latter wielding Serenity, "Ore-tachi no Hissatsu Waza!"
Everyone slashed their swords forward, ethereal energy from serenity slamming into the monster as the detatched blades of the Gashers sliced into the monster.
"FULL THROTTLE VERSION!" Everyone said in unison, connecting with one final slash as the Psychotic monster exploded.
"Hehe.... That's what you get for stealing my name!" Momo said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Well, according to Dora, there's no way to get Momo back to his home," Sugimori said, "You never know... Momo's abilities as Den-O could be useful while i'm gone."
"What?" Cassie said, "Where are you going?"
"It's time," Dickson said, "The plane's stable enough to get two people through."
"You mean... we have to stay here." Theo said.
"You guys did good against Emrass last time because of the fact that we hit him fast and hard," Sugimori said, "This is something Joe and I have to do. Cassie, You're the First Red, so you're leader while i'm gone. Take care of the team. Anni, You're in charge of the company. Don't get it knocked off line again, Ok?"
"Okok!" Anni said, chuckling, "I'll try."
?Do... or do not," Sugimori said, "There is no try."
"Also," Dickson said, "RJ, Don't lose your pecker this time... or at least invest in a titanium cup... Anything else, Mr. Rangering 2?"
"You've been watching too much Lucha Libre, bro." Sugimori said, "Ah yeah.. One more thing... Kadahj... There's been food dissapearing from the food court. If you're gonna be lifting vittles for midnight snacks, get some for me, would'ja?"
Kadahj nodded nervously, his face beet red.
"Well, other than making sure RJ knows not to get adventurous with Lily..." Sugimori said, "I think that's it."
"You bastard, I wanted to say that!" Dickson said, "Let's go, then."
As Dickson got ready to signal for teleport Anni and Cassie ran to Sugimori, both grabbing sugimori into a hug.
"Don't worry you two," Sugimori said, "I'll get back..."
Sugimori let the two young rangers go as Dora took their place, embracing Sugimori in a loving hug.
"Just because i'm not going..." Dora said, "Doesn't mean i'll forgive you if you die."
"Since I don't want you haunting my afterlife, I'll make sure to live," Sugimori said, before giving Dora a deep kiss, "I love you."
"I love you too," Dora said, "Now get going... Go save the multiverse."
"DADDY!!!" Syd said, running into the area.
"Hey squirt," Sugimori said, "I already thought I told you good bye."
"You did... but I had to hear it again," Syd said, "And... I thought you'd need food."
With that, Syd reached behind her, bringing the arms forward to reveal bunches of candy.
Sugimori grinned.
"I think this'll hold me over quite nicely." Sugimori said, levitating the candy and putting it in his trenchcoat, which he was now wearing, "Thanks squirt... And I promise, I'll be back.
With that, Dickson opened his comlink, "This is Dickson. Lock onto my signal and commence teleport."
After Dickson teleported away, Sugimori tapped his combadge, "Beam me up, Khiro."
