Epic 26: Shushuuto The Special

"GouJyuJin!"

Summoning out his giant robot Rose leaps up to engage Sandahl Jr. as Light, Pink, Gold, and Violet, fight the foot-soldiers on the ground. But Sandahl Jr. was quicker, leaping in for a quick slash, keeping Rose on the rope as she blocked the next slash with Jin's arm before countering with the drill arm. But Sandahl was still pressing his advantage with a sliding slash while the other struggled with Megerappa.

"It's time!" Violet said spinning away as he took a bad hit, "Navy I need you."

"Gokai Change!"

"Goooooookaiger!"

The sudden arrival of another Gokaiger, this one in the same style as Navy, and also male launched into the fight, knocking several Megerappa down.

"I'm here Violet!" before spinning around to guard Gold, "Where's Her Other Highness."

"Spirited away, which is why we need to finish this quickly so we can rescue her!"

A sudden flash announced the arrival of the 3 who were watching, quick sword work finishing off the Megerappa as all eyes then turned skyward as a portal in the sky tore open.

"Nin nin nin nin nin nin nin!" a new challenger flew in on a shuriken, a green mini zord, "Fuuraimaru is here!"

As he pinned Sandahl to a wall with a hail of shuriken a familiar trumpeting tune played.

"No! Not him! Not now!" Gold growled as Gokai Killer appeared standing atop the Free Joker.

"Nani?!" Before anyone could react Fuuraimaru was drawn toward the Free Joker just before a flash blinded everyone, when it passed a new Mecha landed with Gokai Killer at the controls, "Hurricane Joker Oh...Suisan!"

"Free!" Sandahl Jr shouted as he pulled free.

"Ranger Key! Set! Let's go!"

"Gokai Mugen Shuriken!"

A suddenly flood of shurikens flew from the new combination absolutely decimating Sandahl AND GouJyuJin, before immediately transitioning into a shuriken on a chain slash attack.

"Ranger Key! Set! Let's go!"

"Gokai Fuurai Attack!"

Fuuraimaru disconnected from the Free Joker, as he faced Sandahl and GouJyuJin, "Hissatsu Ougi! Midare Sakura!" 8 clones forming behind Fuuraimaru, all drawing weapons before flying at Sandahl and GouJyuJin for a team attack. As the clones dissipated and Fuuraimaru recombined with the Free Joker Sandahl drops to his knees and explodes as GouJyuJin sparks and explodes collapsing to the ground and sending Rose crashing to the ground. As Huricane Joker Oh turned toward them just before Basco leap free and landed opposite the Pirates and Ninjas, giving a 2 finger salute.

"Thank you for the Grand Power, I will put it to great use."

"What did you do to Fuuraimaru!" the man in Red demanded.

"Took his power for his own," Gold growls.

"Ping Pong." Killer say before firing on the team and leaping back up to the Free Joker, now no longer combined with Fuuraimaru. "Later Gokaiger-chans," before he flew off.

"I can't believe he took Fuuraimaru-san," the man in yellow said in disbelief.

"This is bad," the girl in blue added.

"Um..." Ahim say as she lead the power down, "Excuse me but who are you people?"

"I'm Shiina Yousuke from Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger," red explained.

"The same, Nono Nanami," the girl said next.

"The same, Bitou Kouta," the boy in yellow finished.

Gai ran over laughing, demorphing along the way, "You're the Gangsterism, aren't you?! You're the real thing, aren't you? Awesome! The real Hurricanegers!" before straightening up and bowing low in respect, "Please to meet you! I'm Kaizoku Sentai apprentice-"

"Save the greeting for later," Nono interrupts, "It's looks like Sandahl Jr. has been defeated...but Saturakura Jr. is pretty powerful too."

"Not to mention that black guy kidnapped Fuuraimaru," Bitou adds.

"That's right!" Gai exclaims, "Fuuraimaru-san is your-"

"Save that for later too."

"Your comrades were taken by Saturakura Jr.'s boki subspace, right?" Bitou opens, "And the people turned into bikKURI?"

"Yes, on the first point," Ahim nods before motioning to Mia, "Mia-san prevented the later."

"How did you pull that off?" Shiina asks curiously.

"Mia-san has the power to see the future. She had us set up an ambush where he was going to make his first attack."

"Impressive!" Nono exclaims.

"Still there is the problem of your comrades," Shiina notes, "Terrible traps await in the boki subspace."

"Eh?" Jealoushitto says confused, "What kind of traps."

"Save that for later," Nono cuts in.

"That's right," Shiina adds, "You guys have no way of saving them."

"Eh?!" everyone says confused together.

"To beat Saturakura Jr.'s space ninpou..." Nono begins, "...one must fully master the Hurricaneger's Ranger Keys."

"But you guys don't have the Hurricaneger's Grand Power."

"Whose fault is that!" Violet accuses.

Bitou bows low, "I'm sorry!"

"Throwing blame isn't going to solve anything."

"S-Sorry Your Highness."

"Besides even if we had it we wouldn't give it to you," Shiina adds.

"Sorry but we don't trust you pirates," Bitou bows again.

"Especially the 5 who were taken away."

"No..." Gai gives a defeated sigh.

"That's why you should give us the Ranger Keys."

Bitou clenched his fist and looked down at it with a soft voice, "These new powers just aren't the same."

"Eh?" Gai says confused.

"They originally belonged to us," Shiina goes on, "we've mastered using them."

"We need to defeat Saturakura Jr. as soon as possible. We must keep him from having a chance to turn anyone into bikKURI."

"If he's defeated," Bitou adds, "your comrades will return too." before holding out his hand, "So please, give them to us."

"Fine," Ahim said quickly as she takes out the Hurricaneger keys.

"Wait just a minute!" Gai interrupts, taking the keys from Ahim and then looking to the three defiantly, "There's something wrong about that!"

"Gai-san-" Ahim started to say.

"Why?" Nono interrupted, "As a fellow Earthling, I thought you'd be the most understanding."

"It's true that they originally belonged to you guys...but..who risked their lives to gather the scattered Ranger Keys from space?! If not for Marvelous-san, the Ranger Keys wouldn't be here! Because of that...there's something really wrong about this!"

"It's ok Gai-san," Ahim said walking over and taking the keys from him, "we don't really want to keep them."

"Hey!" Shiina says insulted as she hands him the keys.

"Tch, pirates," Bitou scoffs. "Don't know what they have."

"Please don't misunderstand," Mia says stepping up next, "We originally needed them for the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, but after learning what it was, and ultimately that we don't need it Marvelous-san-taichi have only stayed on Earth to intercept Basco and Zangyack from obtaining it."

Ahim nods, "While we may not desire the treasure any more, we do not want to see it fall into the hands of Zangyack or Basco."

"Eh?!" Shiina say confused, "Hey, what is this treasure then?"

"The Greatest Treasure in the Universe," Mia begain, "Is a wish of unparalleled power, able to grant anything, of any scope, the wisher asks."

Ahim nods, "But to grant the wish the previous 34 Super Sentai must be erased from history. We were going to use the wish to rid the universe of Zangyack but Nicole-san explained that we do that anyway in the future she is from, without the Treasure."

"So..." Mia continues, "Since we get our wish anyway, and through the hard work of our own hands Marvelous-san-taichi reasoned that we merely need to keep that power away from Zangyack and Basco."

Shiina looks to his two friends, "One moment please," before turning away from the Gokaigers as they huddled together and discussed things. Behind the Gokaigers Violet and Navy did something similar."

"We will rescue your comrades and defeat Saturakura Jr." Shiina says turning back around.

"Thank you!" Everyone says with a small bow.

"Um..." Gai cuts in again, "Please, take a good look at Marvelous-san and the others. Understand what they are really like."

Shiina nods, "As you wish." then looks to Ahim holding up the red key, "We may still decide not to return these."

Ahim nods, "They are yours to do as you wish."

"Though I do hope you will let us continue to borrow them," Mia adds, "they are quite useful."

Shiina smiles and nods, "We will see."

"I am going with you," Violet says stepping forward.

"Just a moment," Nono interrupts.

"Her Highness, Nicole-sama, is trapped in that world. As her Royal Guard it is my duty to protect her even at the cost of my own life." He steps aside motioning to Navy, "Navy will remain her to protect Her Highness Mia-sama."

The three take a moment to discuss again before turning back, "We accept your terms, now let's go!"

"Where are we?" Marvelous asks as his team awakens, lights coming on in a moment to what looks like a stage.

Nicole groans, "Not this place."

Before anyone could react chains flew through the air binding their arms and dragging them over to a set of podiums.

"What is this?!" Luka demanded as she struggled.

Saturakura Jr. voice cackles as he walks unto the hosts stand, "Welcome! This is my fun quiz subspace!" giving an extravagant bow before walking over to the Gokaigers, "If you answer my quiz correctly, unbelievably, unbelievably..."

Luka shuts him up right away by taking a deep breath and blanketing him in fire, "Let me out of here!"

Rolling away to put out the flames before coming up, his body smoldering as he retreats to his podium, a new chain flying over to bind Luka's muzzle, "-10 points for attacking the host, another outburst and you'll loose that fire breath!"

"Fine, not like I care," Luka manages to mumble.

"Nani?!" Nicole says confused, "This isn't part of the script."

Saturakura spins around, the burns and damage gone, "...Hummmm...not what I was expecting! Idea!" a light bulb appears above his head as he pill the cord making it light up, "Let's make this a bit more interesting. You will not only be fighting to escape my subspace but for a trait, ability or skill you own. Fail to answer my question and you loose that power and one of the other contestants has a chance to win it!"

"Nani?!" everyone says together.

The Gingate Horse

"I have good new and bad news about the new Action Commanders plans."

"Get it over with Damaras," Warz sighs, "how long did they last."

"Saturakura Jr. still lives, he has trapped half of this pirates in his bullying quiz where they';; never get the right answer. They will fall to Hell."

"Good! Good!" Warz says energetically, "Finally things are turning around!" Then he slumped down, into his chair, "And the bad news?"

"Sandahl was defeated by the fully realized Greater Power of the Hurricanegers...by Basco. Also Violet has added a new member, Navy."

"Funya~" Warz slumped for a moment, but then regained his energy turning to the side, "Oh right! Barizorg! Insarn!"

The two generals coming over, "Yes boss."

"Warz gil-sama?"

"Until Saturakura Jr. returns, descent to Earth..." Warz begins, "...and torment the remaining pirates."

"Yes, boss."

"I can not sir," Insarn interrupts.

"Nani?!"

"I am currently developing a backup plan, a weapon that, once perfected, will tear the strength from the Pirates and give it to an agent of our choosing. Turning their power to our advantage and weakening them in the process."

"Ooooooh!" Warz voice trembles in glee as he waves his had dismissively, "Go! Go! Take all the time you need! Barizorg take the Sugokaigers with you!"

"Yes, boss."

"My Quiz!" Saturakura Jr. cheers, "get a hint and get a burst!"

As he cheers the audience, a collection of Megerappa, applauded as he did so.

"Hello! Hello!"

"Get to it already!" Marvelous scoffs.

"Heh!" Saturakura counter scoffs, "First, a warm up. The opening quiz! Who is this!"

The screen light up as the image of AkaRanger appear, turning around to face the camera.

"I know!" Everyone says.

Nicole growls, "Leave this one to me!"

"Okay."

"Sure."

"Fine."

"Go ahead."

"Alright! You call go! right answers gets a trait, wrong answers loose a trait."

"Eh?" Everyone says together.

"Time is running out!"

"AkaRanger!"

"You pretending to be AkaRanger!"

"Bzz-" Saturakura starts then pauses short, "Eh? T-That's right Silver-chan."

Nicole smirks as the others all look at her confused, "Eh?"

"You should have watched to the end," Saturakura taunts as the screen continues, AkaRanger taking off his helmet to reveal Saturakura sticking out his tongue."

Joe growls, "There's no way we'd know that!"

Saturakura saunters over, "Silver-chan did!"

She shrugs, "What can I say, it's a rerun."

Then Saturakura reached into the chest of Joe, pulling out a pair of Gokai Sabers and tossing them into a near bowl, "As punishment, Blue-chan must give up his secret technique!"

"H-Hey!"

Then he moved over to Doc, reaching in and pulling out a plushy tiger, tossing it into the bowl, "And Green-chan his tiger form."

Doc wisely kept his mouth shut, far as he was concerned Saturakura could keep it, but he wasn't about to let him know that.

"And now Yellow-chan," he reached nervously for her chest, she growled and snapped at him tossing a match into the bowl, "That dangerous fire breath!"

"Keep your hands off me you pervert!"

Saturakura smiled darkly, "I know what I'm taking next..."

Luka shivered, "W-what!"

"Wait and see!" And then he slip over to Marvelous, "And for you Red-chan I'm taking...this!"

And pulled out the WizarDriver!

"HEY! You give that back!"

"Only if you get a question right!" Then he slipped over to Nicole kissing her cheek, she purred, "Now which one do you want Silver-chan?"

Nicole looked thoughtful, "C-Can I give it to someone else?"

Saturakura looked thoughtful a moment, then laughed as he danced around, "NO! You can only get rid of it by loosing a round!"

She growled, kissing Saturakura softly, "P-Please Saturakura Junior-sama?"

Saturakura giggled and danced about, his cheeks flushing, "O-Ok...for this round only!"

"I want Marvelous-san's Driver returned!" then she looked to Joe softly, "Sorry."

"It's okay, you made the right choice. I an always retrain myself," he whispered.

Nicole purrs.

Saturakura grabbed the driver and danced over to Marvelous sticking it back in his chest, "Thank you Nicole-san."

Luka fumed, "Stop flirting with him!"

"Hey a girl's gotta do what works?"

Luka fumes as Saturakura dances back to his stand, "Okay! Punishment game!"

"Nani?!" Everyone says together as Nicole looks above her just as a group of Megerappa empty buckets of water on everyone except Nicole., the bucket falling on Luka's head as Saturakura danced and laughed.

"How fun! How fun! And now..." throwing his arms into the air, "On to the special stage! Location change!"

With a snap Saturakura and the Gokaigers vanish, reappearing in a rocky field near some mountains.

"What is this place," Luka asks as she shakes the bucket off her head.

"Let me warn you," Saturakura begins, "if you get it wrong, you'll suffer a worse punishment game, in addition to your ability loss!"

"Eh?!" everyone looking to Nicole for clarity.

She growl, "He means well be hit by an attack."

"Correct!" Saturakura announces, "I hope you make through and can return for the semi finals! Now in exchange, if you get it right..." he leans over, picking up a sign that reads 'ping pong' in katakana, "...then you get your choice of TWO abilities, or can take one that hasn't be added to the pot from your fellow contestants, or go free!"

Shiina clenches his Ranger Key in his hand, looking at it for a moment. Nono and Bitou doing the same, "Let us try it!"

"Okay!" Ahim nods.

"Let's go!"

"Okay!" Bitou, Nono, and Violet all nod, walking past the others.

"For luck," Mia smiles as she passes a key to Violet.

He pauses, looking down at it, it was the Crimson Ranger key, "Thank you."

Ahead the 3 Hurricaneger keys glow and float up, in a flash the 3 Hurricanegers were in full Ranger gear.

"Gokai Change!"

"Huuuuuuuurrricaneger!"

Walking up next to the others he followed their lead and made the same hand signs, "Chou Ninpou! Open Sesame!"

High above them a portal opened where they had pointed.

"Let's go!" Red orders as the four leap up and into the portal.

"This is okay...right?" Gai asks as the rest run over to where the Hurricanegers were.

"Of course," Mia smiles, "All we need to do is wait."

Only for explosions to erupt around them all forcing them to shield their faces until it passes.

"Sugo! You wanted Pirates," Sugokai Red approaches with his team and Barizorg, "Today, it ends!"

"Looks like it's no time for relaxing," Ahim says stoically as she takes out her Mobirate.

"Yeah." Gai follows her lead.

"Gokai Change!"

"Gooooookaiger!"

And thus Pink, Gold, Light, Navy, and Rose charge Barizorg and Sugokai Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, and Pink. Meanwhile the Hurricanegers ran up to the cliff face of the subspace where they saw Marvelous-taichi tied up at the podium, and dropped low.

"There." Red whispers as Saturakura laughs.

"Don't the pirates look beaten up?"

It was true, everyone but Nicole looked pretty battered, not only that Luka was human again, while Nicole looked like a furry dragon.

"That face!" Saturakura laughs as he looks to the beat up Gokaigers.

"Chou Ninpou! Jigoku Mimi!" The four said, summoning out large ears to the sides of their helments as they leaned in.

"...so let's keep going!" Saturakura started, "This question is for Joe. What lamp would be in trouble if it were burned?"

"Come on Joe, you got this!"

"A lamp that doesn't want to be burned?" Yellow muses, "In a normal quiz, the answer would be a trump."

"What's your answer?"

"I have no idea."

"Joe-san!" Nicole growls, "What are you doing!"

"Nani?!" Red says just as confused.

"Bzzz!" Saturakura sighs as he walks over, "How disappointing! Now what to take, what to take!"

Joe smirks as he roots around, "Guess I don't have much left, you'll have to take my masculinity."

"Good idea!" Saturakura laughs as he pulls out a blue ball as tosses it into a mostly empty bowl as Joe changes into a woman just before an explosion erupts around all of them.

Joe grunts as he slumps forward, "Better get the next one right so I can get my masculinity back from you."

"Stop playing around Joe-san!"

"I see!" Violet muses, the ninjas looking over to him as the game continues.

"Oh?" Red wondered, "Then tell us."

"The stakes of the game seem to be traits of the contestants. Luka-san should be the dragon, and you just saw Joe-san's punishment. But what you don't know is that Her Highness has often claimed in her own timeline she is a man. Furthermore Luka-san doesn't want to be a dragon, but Saturakura doesn't know that, it's a powerful and dangerous form to him, and thus a treasure."

Red nods understanding, "They risk losing something they want to get rid of something they don't want."

Yellow nods, "While at the same time sacrificing something they treasure to help their comrade get something they really need."

"They really do care about each other," Blue says in a hushed whisper.

"I've seen enough, let's go!" Red nods.

"...next question is for-" Saturakura begins.

"WAIT!" Nicole shouts, her breathing labored, her outburst even making the ninjas pause, "Now it's my turn, answer my quiz! If you win you can have...my heart!"

"WHAT?!" The other Gokaigers all shout together.

"But you have to get them all right for the grand prize," she smirks, "Though the consolation prize is for each one you get right you can take TWO of my traits!"

Saturakura claps and dances, "Challenge accepted!"

Nicole smirks, "Here we go! Problem one! What food does Papa hate?"

Yellow slams his fist into his hand, "Fool girl, that's easy!"

"Papa-iya!" Yellow and Saturakura both say.

Nicole growls, but still smirks, "You win."

Saturakura dances over as he reaches into her chest, "I'll take the fire breath annnnnd the Kamen Rider Form!" before throwing the match and Driver into the bowl and dancing around.

"Problem two!" Nicole doesn't wait for his to go back to his podium, "a bird is a bird, but what is a fat bird?"

Blue hisses, "She's a fool if she thinks he won't get this one."

Violet smirks, "No she's getting all her prize sent back, she's up to something."

"That's to easy!" Saturakura dances, "A seki-tori rank sumo-san!"

"You win again," Nicole smiles, "take your prizes, only 2 more questions!"

Saturakura dances around before reaching into Nicole's chest, "I'll take the tiger form and dragon forms!" and tosses the tiger plushie and dragon plushie into the bowl Nicole reverting to her catgirl form, Before Saturakura pauses and tilts his head, "Two more?"

"Don't think the grand prize is worth it?"

He waves his hand dismissively, "No! No! No! Nicole-chan's heart is worth it!"

"Alright! But Question 3 is hard!"

"I'm ready!"

"You play this with a paddle covered in rubber! In what sport do you hit a plastic ball?"

"This one is also easy," Saturakura prances, preemptively reaching into Nicole's chest and taking out a pair of swords as well as a female cat plushie, Nicole reverting to human as he tosses them into the bowl, "Ping Pong!"

"Correct!"

Just then the chains fall loose as she takes out her Mobirate, along with the others.

Gokai Change!"

"Goooooookaiger!"

Just as red shouts, "Now!" the four leaping down from the cliff.

"Chou Nipou! Kage no mae!"

"Final Wave!"

Paper doors closed as 4 Ninja strikes for the shadows at an expectant Saturakura, and just as he gets to his feet the Gokai Scramble slams into him. The force of the attack blows him out of subspace with the others right behind him. Saturakura crash landing in the Sugokaigers just as Rose, Light, Pink, Gold and Navy are sent rolling and crash out of Deka Ranger form.

"Your back!" Gold purrs as Violet changes back to his Gokai form and takes the bowl from Luka while teleporting out.

"I'll be right back Your Highness."

Rose rounds over next, help Nicole up, "Nicole-san your...human..."

Mia runs to help up Luka, "As are you!"

"J-Joe-san?" Ahim looks curiously.

She nods, "Your cute."

"Final Wave!"

As is their style while the heroes get their barrings the Sugokaigers attack sending them flying, of Marvelous' team they are two beat up to stand again.

Navy growls as Violet teleports down and the two stand guard over Mia and Nicole, "You're going to pay for that!" Navy growls as he lifts up his Gokai Saber, breathing a familiar violet flame onto the blade as Violet prepares a Final Wave, the others who can stand doing the same as the three ninja get tot heir feet and draw their swords.

"Let's make this quick!"

Gokai Change!"

"Gokai Rose!"

"Gold MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODE!"

"Final Wave!"

"Gokai Chou Nipou!"

"Hurricane Scramble!"

Rose leads off with an energy wave from his Gokai Baton in sword mode. Followed by twin shots from Gokai Pink and Light, then Hurricane Yellow and Gold Slash, followed by a slash from Violet and Hurricane Blue, and ending with the final slash from Navy and Hurricane Red. The combined attacks coming together into a golden shuriken that tears through Saturakura, the Sugokiagers and Barizorg.

"Wait! Wait! I must know, what was the last question!" Saturakura demands as he falls to his knees, the Sugokaigers dropping to theirs and exploding behind him.

Nicole struggles to find her breath, "Who's about to die?"

"MEEEEEEE?"

She coughs, "Correct."

And finally Saturakura falls, leaving only Barizorg who stumbles back several steps for the fierceness of the attack, "This round is yours." before teleporting out.

The Galleon

"Here we go!" Luka says, in the form of Hurricane Yellow, Joe beside her, "Chou Ninpou! Jikoku Mimi!"

Like the originals the two summon the large ear as the Hurricanegers applaud.

"You two are pretty good!" Bitou cheers.

"Right?" Nono agrees.

"I tried it too." Ahim says coming over, revealing a pair of (fake) cat ears on her head, "Just kidding."

"That's cheating Ahim," Luka admonishes.

"Indeed," Nono smiles as she playfully pokes the ears, "Oneesan things that's against the rules too."

"Against the rules! Against the rules!" Navi taunts, "Against the rules!"

Everyone laughs as Violet enters with Navy and the bowl of traits, Shiina smiling as he stands next to Marvelous, "Nice ship." as he turns to look around, "So you've used this ship to travel in space all this time?"

"Yeah."

"What do you think of this planet?" He turns back around to face Marvelous.

"I like it," Marvelous smiles, "I'm glad...this is where Zangyack will make it's last stand."

"I see," Shiina takes a deep breath.

"Ummm...is it okay if I take a photo for the memories?" before bowing and asking please to each person present, "You too Marvelous-san, Violet-san, Navy-san."

"Alright," Shiina say patting Marvelous' back as Mia and Nicole pull in Violet and Navy, "Let's go."

"Come on, Marvelous!" Navi presses.

Marvelous capitulates as everyone gathers around.

"Get close everyone." Gai advises as he sets up the shot, "Okay!"

"Okay, here we go!" before rushing over and kneeling next to Doc just as Navi flies in to join the shot. "Okay, everyone smile!"

"Okay. Cheese!" Navi add just as the shutter clicks.

"Alright," Violet says setting the bowl on a near table, "Time to fix everyone."

"Before that," Nicole interrupts.

"Yes Your Highness?"

She turns to Navy, "Your Los Dark aren't you?"

Navy powers down, "Indeed I am, very sharp eye."

"Purple fire breath was a dead giveaway, but still, why?"

"Nicole-san not only risked her life for mine, she GAVE me a life. It is only right I return the favor."

"T-Thanks," She flusters before turning to Violet, "Now your turn."

"I'd rather not."

"That's an order from Her Highness!"

Violet growls and powers down, revealing...

"Marvelous-san? Joe-san?"

Both shake their heads as thy look to the apparent cyborg before them.

"Ok...who the hell are you?" Nicole demands.

"Just a Zangyack solider who has seen the light."

"That doesn't help ANY!"

OK User feedback time! I need your help for the next chapter!

Let's review the powers in the bowl.

Joe's Masculinity

Joe/Sid's Cross Slash Technique

Luka's Firebreath

Luka's Dragonform

Marvelous' Rider Form

Doc's Were-Tiger (male) form

Nicole's Catgirl (think tigra from marvel Mangaverse) form (female)

Now let's review who would want what:

Obviously Joe and Nicole would want the Masculinity, but Joe wants to give it up to Nicole, of course Nicole wouldn't want to take it from another and would argue she would probably wind up tunning girl anyway like when her spirit was in Gai's body for a while to try and reject it.

Joe would like his Cross Slash but as he said he can just retrain from the start, Nicole would feel uneasy taking it but Luka would not.

Everyone would love the Fire Breath

Luka does not want her Dragon form, but would not want to force it on someone else. Nicole is likely to volenteer to take it.

Marvelous wants his rider form, and no one will really object, after all Doc's working on their own.

The Weretiger being default male gives Joe a good out to go back to male and convince Nicole to take his masculinity, Doc does not want it but does not want to force it on anyone, though he is likely to point out if Nicole won't take Joe's masculinity this is a good alternative.

No one wants Nicoles Tigra form though any one of the girls is likely to take it just to spare Nicole from having to take it back.

The results of the attribute swapping will set up the flow of all chapters from here on so give me your thoughts!
