The following day at Aibo Academy Kathy woke up early, and woke Kairi "Come on Kairi please wake up. We have classes." Kathy says and Kairi yawns waking up.
"Morning Kathy-san." Kairi greeted taking her blanket off and Kathy looked away turning a bright red as Kairi had a particular habit that Kathy forgot about.
"I-I'm going to go get some breakfast. Just...please get changed." Kathy said and headed out as Kairi just giggled doing as she suggested.
Outside Kathy sighed as she headed decided to head for her class early, but stopped upon the sight of a few guys messing with a rather tall girl. Sighing Kathy started to step up and heard what was going on.
"Hey I wasn't saying that your fat, but your not exactly thin either." The first guy said.
The girl huffed "Yeah yeah yeah. Not the first time that someone has said that to me. Now please just go." She said
The second guy chuckled "Oh no. You see your new here, and thus there's a 'toll' you've got to pay." The second said and Kathy huffed as she recognized the second guy who had tried to tell her the same thing.
"So you didn't learn a thing when you tried to rip me off buddy?" Kathy says arms crossed making her pressence known.
The second guy paled "Oh crap it's Ravens! Run for it!" He said and both guys ran from the scene as quick as possible.
"And don't come back!" The girl said and Kathy looked to her and took in her appearance for the first time.
What took Kathy by surprise was the girl's size as she was taller than Kathy herself while looking like she had only just turned 14. She had a fair skin tone to her, and was a very tiny bit chubby yet she didn't seem to let it bother her while she had chin length brown hair and blue eyes. She a red sundress with floar designs, black leggings, and brown boots.
"You must be new here. You okay?" Kathy asked as the girl nods.
"No problem, and honestly I'm use to it. I'm Natalie Cooper." The girl says introducing herself and offered her hand to shake.
Kathy shakes her hand, but neither noticed that an image of Gargantua Dragon appeared behind Kathy. While behind Natalie was a grey-black humanoid dragon with yellow gold armor on the chest a large red X in the middle and two large blades strapped on his back. Garga gave the gray black dragon a nod as if temporarily passing the torch.
"You know we're going to be late if we stay here talking. How about you let me see your schedule?" Kathy asked, and she brought it out.
"Ahh. No wonder you got lost. The gymnasium is out that way." Kathy pointed in the direction of it.
Natalie nods "Thanks. Catch you later." she says and runs off.
Kathy began heading towards her own class as she suddenly felt very dizzy and sat down in a shaded corner. What she didn't know was at the same time JR was experincing the exact same thing.
The two blacked out, and a ticking sound was heard as the two vanished. At the same time in H3 the flag of Dragon World was sparking with lightning as it resonated with the soul of Batzz. The legendary thunder dragon and leader of the Thunder Empire faction of Dragon World.
In the gym class Neil was talking with Hayden and Vic got some tips for there 'extra activities' as they refered to them during school hours. They were dressed in there gym clothes.
"You know you could just take some lessons from Van or even Judith." Hayden suggested.
"I know I could, but you guys could probably teach me to. I mean I can't hold you guys back and have you looking out for me." He says.
Vic rubbed his head "I don't know. I mean..." Vic started, but both saw his pleading eyes and relented.
"Fine. After school H3. We'll give you a lesson." Hayden said.
"Just hope you can keep up, and we'll have some ice ready." Vic says.
Neil nods understanding them, and it was then the teacher came in and blew the whistle getting them together. The game of the day to some disappointment was dodgeball while a large majority enjoyed the choice. It was then that the guys took notice of the new girl who was giving a smug competitve grin.
Teams were chosen and the game began as the three guys worked together to take out a chunk of the opposing team. Yet the new girl took charge and started calling out things and soon enough things were tied up.
"So you guys done getting shown up by a girl?" She taunts, and smirking taking that as a challenge Hayden threw the ball he had hard and fast.
What amazed him and the rest was that she caught it, and like a slingshot threw it back hitting Hayden square in the stomach.
Eventually the game ended in a tie and had taken up much of the gym classes time. Just leaving enough time to change and cool down before the bell rang for next classes.
They guy's phone's buzzed as they're private chat had a new message. It was something that Kathy insisted they had, and from what they knew now it was likely Frankie had encrypted it to the point making it about impossible to hack into it.
Sun Girl: Has anyone seen Gargirl and Angel? Neither were in class.
Voltic: No. Think they skipped?
Mask: Couldn't of. Saw Gargirl this morning talking with the new girl.
Brawler: Same. Don't get how they could just vanish.
Sun Girl: Maybe we talk about this...uh oh...
Voltic: Uh oh?
Mask: I don't like the sound of that.
Brawler: Me neither.
Sun Girl: Got an issue.
It was about then that there morphors sounded off alerting them to a monster attack. The four left the school grounds and headed towards the battle site.
At the same time though Judith was having a talk with a certain girl having brought her to H3 "Okay I'll help. Just till your actual red comes back though." She tells Judith who gives her the morpher and Xross Flag having already explained how it worked.
++XROSS LOCK!++
"Xross Up!" The girl called out and morphed into Xross Red. While mostly the same there were some key differences that made her stand out from the other Xross Red. The most noticable was that on the suit a large pink X outlined in electric yellow extended from each shoulder blade and extended down towards the stomach area. The second was that the helmet was different as it was more angular and had a scale like partern with electric yellow accents. There was also black metal horns that curved before surging up coming to a point on the sides of the helmet.
The new Xross Red headed out immideatly following the directions being fed to her via the visor on where the monster attack was occuring.
=XROSSFORCE=
The rangers arrived at the scene and saw the threat and were a bit stunned. It was a literal muscular wolf man that had pale blue skin, and dakrer blue fur while spiked red-orange hair ran down his back. He wore shorts only while on each wrist was a set of gold braclets with glowing purple runes on them.
He was causing absolute panic and was just laughing seeming to enjoy it not having brought any Myriads or Millions with him.
Seeing the rangers he let out a smirk "You...you all are the one's the generals are worried about?! Ha! No wonder they finally decided to send me out!" He says and lunged at them.
Most of the group was quick to make evasive manuvers, but Hayden ran right in and grabs the wolfs hands. The two were now locked in a test of strength as they tried to move the other yet neither could.
The wolf smirked "Brawlzeus. Always wanted to fight you." He said, but then was kicked as Neil and Vic came in and he stumbled back.
Kairi looked at them as the wolf huffed "I suppose I deserved that, but doesn't mean anything. Name's Labolas, and I suggest you remember it well." He growls and held his arm up.
The bracelet glowed and beams of light came out and whenever they hit something there was a small explosion. Taking that as a hint to not get hit unmorphed the ducked behind objects for cover.
++XROSS LOCK!++
"Xross Up!" The four called out morphing and weapons out.
Neil's ranger form was a bit different from that of JR's as there was sections of black added to it, and his helmet resembled something like a crown while in his hand he held a gold kopesh. He suit also looked to me more streamlined and lighter than the others resembling more of a robe.
Hayden stepped up to take charge "Green, Blue blast him when you get the opportunity and get any possible people away from the battle, Gold your with me." Hayden instructs them.
They nod as Kairi takes off trying to find possible civillians to help escape, Vic proceeded to take cover slowly getting to a position to snipe at Labolas.
Hayden charged in and swung throwing small burst of energy, but Labolas did the same in a similar fashion throwing small beams the attacks canceling each other out. Neil jumped in and swung his blade a few times which Labolas just took.
He then grabbed Neil by the helmet and threw him off to the side as Vic came up to take a shot, but fell back as Neil fell on top of him. Hayden went back to trying to punch him, but each's fist would just meet each other and the two started throwing there punches quicker.
Neither was giving an edge, and Lobalas ears twitched and he jumped dodging a few blasts from a returning Kairi.
"Civilians are evacuated Yellow." She tells him.
Lobalas wasn't bothered by the additional company and simply huffed throwing out a hand to the side as beams hit some wreckage that fell on top of a recovering gold and blue rangers.
"Blue, Gold!" Kairi called out worried and made her way towards them.
Hayden saw this and knew what was coming "Green stop!" He called out, but was to late as more beams of light hit Kairi and she was tossed back.
"Three down. One to go." Labolas says with a laugh.
Labolas was then blasted and Hayden turned his attention seeing a new red ranger "I think you got your count wrong. This team has five rangers. Not four." the new red says the voice female, and while Hayden couldn't see it was pretty sure she was smirking.
In one hand she held a black and gold gun bearing the red-pink X like on her suit on the gun. in her other hand was a black blade with a lightning bolt like gold guard the same symbol near the guard that's on the gun.
Labolas growled "How? I thought that Gargantua Dragon was..." He started then realized what was dealing with when saw the fancy symbol.
"That symbol...Thunder Empire...Batzz!" Labolas says and growls.
He then backed away "Oh I'm not dealing with you right now. See yah later!" He says and teleports away.
"Batzz...your the temporary red?" Hayden asked.
She nods "Your mentors gave me the run down. Umm...how about we go back to H3 and talk about this there?" The temp red suggested.
Nodding the two worked quick to get the rubble off there fellow rangers via the Xross Drill and the five vanished in a burst of light .
=XROSSFORCE=
Arriving at H3 Hayden and the red took Vic and Neil to the med bay, and Judith took a now concious yet slightly limping Kairi.
"That guy...he really did a number." Hayden muttered as the two set them down as does Judith.
"...I'll be right back. Got just the thing to help out. I hope." Judith says and leaves after setting Kairi down.
Hayden looked to the mysterious red as he powered down and the other three's forms canceled. Kairi looked to the mysterious red and she sighs.
"So...I'm guessing you want to know who I am?" the red asked.
Hayden nods "If we're going to work together. Even for a bit I need to know just who you are." Hayden says arms crossed.
"Okay, but I doubt you know me." She says powering down revealing a somewhat familiar looking face.
Hayden blinks "Wait...your the new girl. Umm..." Hayden starts unsure.
"Natalie Cooper." the now revealed Natalie says giving a small smirk.
"Pleasure to meet you." She adds on as Judith returned with a new device.
It was a small white and silver compact gun like deivce, but at the same time it resembled a syringe and was glowing with green energy. Sloted into the top of the device and secured was a green drive.
Taking aim and pulling the trigger a burst of green energy surged forward hitting Vic. His cuts and possible broken bones healed. She repeated the process with Neil and Kairi healing them. She even healed Hayden and Natalie as a precaution.
"New gear?" Kairi asked.
Judith nods "It's called the Xross Mender. It heals, but you should still take it a bit easy." Judith explained.
"Easy for you to say. We just got tossed around by the big bad wolf." Vic comments, and notices Natalie as does Neil both having an assumption why she's there.
"New red?" Neil asked.
Natalie frowned shaking her head "Temporary red. Though I guess your the same there gold given the gold I've seen on TV is female." She says.
"I'm Natalie Cooper, and I guess for now I'm your red till your original one returns. Umm...can you introduce yourselves?" She asked.
"Victor Everest, but just call me Vic."
"Hayden Shaw."
"Kairi Nakamura."
"Neil Gray."
Judith coughed "Now then since we're all aquianted I believe we have other matters to deal with. Labolas is gone for now, but he'll return. I suggest catching Natalie up a bit." Judith suggested then left.
"Better also prep the rest of the xross gear. Might come in handy here against such a powerful foe." Judith thought deciding to call Frankie hopeful she'd finished up the last few items of said gear.
It took a half hour to explain everything that they knew to Natalie who took it pretty well "Honestly...I'm not surprised. I figured I was different given my...durability." Natalie says to them.
The group understood this each having something different to them because of there previous life.
Hayden looks at her "Look you might be a temp, but I'll let you take charge. Don't get to cocky though." He tells Natalie who nods.
"Wouldn't dream of it." She replied as seconds later the morphers went off alerting them to Labolas return.
Glancing at them Natalie took in a breath "Okay let's see if we can handle this guy." She says, and they all prepare to teleport out.
=XROSSFORCE=
Earlier in the villains lair Gratos had finally finished his secret project "It's time..." He says then laughs.
"I've finally found when the Emblems are. Now to retrive them and revive Lord Yamigedo." He spoke as he set down a small black device that looked like a clock fused with futuristic tech, and had runes engraved on it.
He tapped on it and it hummed generating a small wormhole in time "Yes. That's it!" He says and the device started whining and shaking.
Before he could react Gratos was pulled into the wormhole, but he didn't know that at the same time two others were affected by the device and being dragged into the past along with him and said device.
At the same time the other five generals had decided upon there first target to use there new weapon on "They'll fit just perfect among our ranks. Though is it wise to use that flag on them?" One of the generals asked.
"Yes. Out of all the Rouge Flags it's one of the strongest." Another general replied.
The third slammed down a hand "Enough. We have a few candidtes, and compatable flags. We find them, take them, and force them under our control." They said before looking to the fourth.
"How the progress going on the Dimension Dragons and Lostvaders?" They then asked.
The fourth huffed "We have a few of them free, and Vanity is taking charge of them given they've been...unresponsive to us." They said.
"We know this isn't wise, but Vanity, the Lostvaders, and the Rouge Rangers we create will probably be our best chance to obtain the emblems if Gratos plan fails." The fifth said not as optimistic about the whole idea.
"That is why we have alternatives." The third general says.
That's the end of Episode 12, and for now we have the reveal of Natalie Cooper (made by LovingGinger30) as the temporary Xross Red as well as Neil taking up the mantle of Xross Gold. Now why are there designs different from who they took over for? Well long story short the Flags adapt and change to suit whoever is using it, but only if one is a reincarnation of one from said world...so the flags are somewhat sentient. That is why the outfits resemble Batzz and Voltic Ra right down to the preffered weapons. As for what will happen to Gratos, Kathy, and JR that will be revealed soon enough. So until the next time this has been your friendly Fanfiction and Fictionpress author decode9!
