Chapter 1 – Thieves, Mercenaries, Bounty Hunters and Assassins Part 1
Eartheon. A planet created by the Four Gods of Adventure, it looks similar to Earth, yet twice as big and some have added continents to it. One of the most unique things about Eartheon is that new things magically appear to become part of the planet every once in a while. This is due to the fact that its creators live among its inhabitants and whenever they find something somewhere in the Multiverse, they'd sometimes use their powers to bring it to their home. The inhabitants of this planet, commonly known as Earthians, are a mix of humans, demi-humans from straight out fantasy and aliens from straight out sci-fi. All of these sentient living beings live together in harmony, but there are some who'd cause trouble and danger and that is why, Eartheon has their own force of security.
Somewhere in the United Dominion of America (UDA), lies… Concordia… the city of harmony. It resembles a futuristic version of San Francisco, Tokyo and Los Angeles combined and it has a bridge that resembles the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco but with a Japanese theme making it look like the bridge from San Fransokyo from Big Hero 6. It is one of the few cities where humans and non-humans live together in harmony.
Somewhere in the city, it was currently evening and we go to a museum where everything is quiet.
Inside, a couple of night guards, about four of them were doing their usual patrol shift.
One of the guards walked through a jewel exhibit as he illuminated his flashlight in his path.
"This is Johnson checking in, I'm at the jewel exhibit, nothing to report here" said the night guard known as Johnson through his walkie talkie as he continued to walk through the exhibit.
"This is Freddie, passing through the art gallery, everything's clear in here, just the boring and strange painting and sculptures here… as~ usual" spoke another guard through the walkie talkie.
"Thompson here, all is green in the Egyptian exhibit" reported another guard.
"This is Jack, nothing to report here at the medieval exhibit" reported the fourth guard.
"Alright" said Johnson "Report in after the next half hour" he said while receiving a "Roger", "Got it" or "That's a copy" as he sighed "Man… every night is the same old boring patrols" Johnson complained "And nothing exciting ever happens" he said.
As if on cue, the guard heard someone yelp in surprise, getting his attention.
He turned to the source of the sound and it came from the direction of the art gallery "Freddie? Freddie is that you?" said the guard speaking through his walkie talkie but got no response.
"Freddie, respond" said Johnson but received static in response. He sighed as he walked towards the art gallery to check on his fellow guard "Freddie what happened?" he tried to contact him again but no answer, only static.
Feeling a bit unnerved, he unholstered his Beretta M9 Pistol and walked quickly but cautiously towards the direction of the yelp "Uh… Freddie?" said the guard as he entered the art gallery with his gun and flashlight pointed forward.
He looked around getting a bit nervous until his light found a startling sight.
It was one of the other night guards Freddie and he was stuck to the wall by some purple sticky goop and his mouth was covered.
"Holy! Freddie!" said the guard as he ran towards his fellow night guard and proceeded to get him out, although he was having some difficulty removing the goop due to how tough it is.
"This is Johnson, we might have a security breach in our hands, repeat, we have a security breach! Keep an eye out for any intruder in the vicinity!" Johnson spoke through his walkie talkie while trying to help his friend out "Don't worry Freddie, I'll get you out in a jiffy" said the night guard but Freddie started making muffled screams as if he was trying to warn him of something.
"What?" said the Johnson in confusion, only for him to get punched all of a sudden by an unknown force.
"What the heck?!" Johnson exclaimed in shock, getting back up and pointing his gun and flashlight at random directions when he heard someone laughing as it echoed around the place.
"Hello?" said Johnson looking for the culprit.
"Hee hee~!" said an unknown voice in a sing-song tone that could be heard everywhere.
"Who's there?" said Johnson pointing his gun and flashlight at another direction.
"Hoo hoo~!" sang the unknown voice as a slight shimmer passed Johnson.
"Show yourself!" Johnson shouted, his hands starting to shake turning around looking for the intruder.
Suddenly, something shot towards Johnson sending him flying to the wall making him scream in surprise.
When he came too, he noticed that he couldn't move and discovered that he was stuck to the wall right next to Freddie and he was trapped in the same purple goop-like substance as Freddie.
"What the?!" exclaimed Johnson in shock and confusion as he attempted to get himself free but to no avail.
"Wow… to the wow yo!" said the voice getting Johnson and Freddie's attention.
A shimmer appeared and the culprit responsible for trapping them turned visible making themselves known.
It was a skinny anthropomorphic warthog with a pig-like face with the left tusk shorter than the right, three fingered hands, a purple mohawk, light brown skin and brown eyes. He's clad in an energy-like suit with purple lights composed of pants, boots, his upper suit composed of a vest with shoulder armor and the rest of the suit fused with his skin which is the chest area, arms and back part of his head and a purple visor over his eyes. He also has an energy backpack.
The night guards' eyes widened upon seeing the intruder and Johnson immediately recognized him.
"You! I know you! You're-" he said when he was interrupted.
"The name's Bebop guard dude, and ya'lls just got punked yo!" said the skinny warthog introducing himself while crossing his arms with a smug smile.
Anton Zeck AKA Bebop, master thief, he was once a human until he was mutated into a humanoid warthog. He used to work for the Shredder against his will until the evil ninja master's defeat and death at the hands of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
"Bebop, are you done with your end?" spoke a Russian accented voice as the sound of heavy footsteps came from behind Bebop as the mutant warthog turned around.
Approaching him and the captured guards was an anthropomorphic white rhinoceros with a burly muscular build, a jagged horn, a gold tooth among his sharp pointy teeth, a green left eye, a diamond right eye and four fingered hands. He wears a beige tank top, brown bandoliers with a small gold chest piece in the middle with a star symbol on it and camouflage pants with a belt and pouches, leaving his feet barefooted and he also has a pair of gold spiked shoulder pads fused into his shoulders, gold knuckle dusters, one with a sickle and one with a hammer fused into the top of his hands and a long barrel mini-gun with a backpack strapped to his back.
"Yep, I sure am Rock, and I see you done with your end as well man?" said Bebop noticing the other two remaining guards Thompson and Jack being carried unconscious by the rhino.
"Da! I am" said the rhino with a nod as he dropped the other two guards on the floor.
Upon seeing his remaining fellow night guards subdued, Johnson gulped in slight fright due to not only how this rhinoceros managed to easily knock out his fellow night guards but also recognizing him.
He's Ivan Steranko AKA Rocksteady, Bebop's partner in crime. Like Bebop, he used to be a human and worked as a Russian arms dealer and had ties to the Shredder and the Foot Clan until he got mutated into a humanoid rhinoceros and was forced to be one of Shredder's hench-mutants until the ninja master's death.
And the reason why these two are here in Concordia Museum is because well… they've been hired for a job.
"H-h-hey! What are you guys doing here?! What do you want?!" Johnson questioned as Bebop and Rocksteady turned to him making the night guard flinch.
"What are we doin here you say?" said Bebop as he and Rocksteady glanced at each other "We're on a job, and that's all ya'lls gettin from us" he said.
"Da, and now it's time for night guard to say night, night!" declared Rocksteady as he approached Johnson while cracking his knuckles.
Johnson gulped and the last thing he saw was Rocksteady throwing a punch to his face before everything went black.
(Insert The Pink Panther Theme Song)
After tying up the guards, Bebop and Rocksteady proceeded to look around for what they came for. They entered the jewel exhibit as they searched the area with Bebop using his goggles to scan for what they're looking for.
"Have you found it yet?" Rocksteady asked.
"Just a second Rock, my goggle sensors getting close" said Bebop as his goggles told him that they were closing in on their target.
Suddenly, Bebop's goggles made a beeping sound causing the mutant warthog to grin "Bingo!" he said as he found his and Rocksteady's objective.
The duo walked towards a glass display case containing what looked like a big red diamond about the size of a regular human's palm.
"The Red Taurus Diamond" said Bebop examining it "They say that this shiny jewel values even more than any other red diamond on Eartheon and it also rivals Mervilleux France's Pink Panther Diamond" he added.
"Da, but why would they be calling it "red taurus diamond?"." Rocksteady asked his partner rubbing his chin in thought, only to be given a magnifying scope in response.
"Check it out then dawg, the bling's got some spot at the center that makes it look like a charging bull" said Bebop as he illuminated a flashlight over the top of it "With the right light that is" he added as he adjusted the brightness.
Rocksteady hummed and used the scope to look closely at the diamond and sure enough, the diamond had an impurity that was shaped like a charging bull at the center.
"Ah~! I see it... and it's beautiful, you were right comrade!" said Rocksteady in amazement.
"I know right?" said Bebop in equal amazement.
"Well… let's get it then!" said Rocksteady raising his fists up ready to smash the case, only to be stopped by Bebop.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Slowdown man! You don't want to set off the alarm now would ya?!" he reasoned with his partner.
Rocksteady lowered his arms understanding the point "Oh… da, I almost forgot, sorry" he said.
Bebop sighed in relief as he cracked his knuckles and got to work on retrieving their target.
Little did the two know, was that someone was watching them from the shadows as they made an amused chuckle.
It took a couple of minutes but after getting through and disabling the security alarm trigger system, Bebop managed to extract the diamond from the case.
"I got it! Hee~ hee~!" Bebop cheered, holding the diamond in hand as he and Rocksteady made a small celebratory dance.
"Whoot! Whoot! Raise the ceiling home skillet! Can I get the "What? What?"." cheered Rocksteady.
"Whoo~!" cheered Bebop pumping his fists with the diamond still in hand as he and Rocksteady made a victory pose.
"Man~, I sure love this job!" said Bebop with glee.
"Da! I as well comrade!" agreed Rocksteady with a nod.
After the events that lead to the Shredder's death, Bebop and Rocksteady were left with no boss until months later, they heard from Tiger Claw that Shredder's gonna be brought back by Kavaxas, a demodragon summoned by the mutant tiger but it soon ended up going all wrong when Kavaxas turned the revived Shredder against Tiger Claw in order to be set free and Bebop and Rocksteady fled, not wanting to be a part of Kavaxas' scheme to take over all dimensions. After that, they were once again left without a boss and as well as jobs, but soon after, just when they got broke and were down to their last moldy ketchup and cockroaches… again… a miracle happened.
They were scouted by a person from another dimension and they offered them a job and a place to stay as members of a guild known as The Shadow Fist Guild, a group of dimension travelers composed of thieves… bounty hunters… mercenaries… and assassins.
The two were reluctant at first but when they were brought to the guild, they were surprised to see that there were others like them, either super humans, non-super humans or anthropomorphic humanoids and the guildmaster welcomed them to the guild with open arms and he was willing to accept them as members of the guild and after doing well on their first jobs, they were congratulated by not only their master but as well as some of their fellow members and whenever they screwed up on some jobs, their master would just shrug it off and just tell them to do better next time and thus Bebop and Rocksteady got what they wanted: a good job that'll get them to earn money, a place to stay to provide for themselves, a good boss who doesn't treat them like trash, but most of all recognition and respect from not only their boss but from their fellow members as well and they couldn't be anymore happier.
"Alright Rock, let's get out of here and get this bling to the client" said Bebop.
"Da! I couldn't agree more" said Rocksteady said with a nod.
But just when they took their first steps in leaving…
"My… my… my… it sure is quite a wonderful evening don't you think?" said a voice echoing around the museum alerting the duo.
"What the?! Who said that?!" Bebop called out as he and Rocksteady went back to back while looking around the area for the voice.
"Oh~ but pardonne moi, I didn't mean to scare you… I was just passing by when I saw the both of you doing your little… activié" echoed the voice with a bit of French in his speaking.
"Who are you! We demand that mysterious voice reveal themselves!" demanded Rocksteady not liking this guy already.
"Oh, but of course" responded the voice.
Suddenly, a light blue magic circle appeared on the floor just across from the duo as they took notice. From the magic circle, a person appeared in front of them.
The person was a young man in his late 20s with short slicked back spiky brown hair, pale skin and slim build. He's clad in a gentleman's suit composed of a midnight blue button up blazer over a dark gray button up polo with a black and silver striped neck tie, a pair of midnight blue pants, black dress shoes, a black high collar long cloak, a pair of dark gray gloves, black top hat, a pocket watch in his blazer's left pocket, a dark blue plague doctor's mask with blue tinted glass lens concealing his face with a detachable monocle on the right lens of his mask and held in his right hand was a cane.
"Bonjour Monsieurs" greeted the mysterious gentleman with a bow and a tip of his top hat.
Upon seeing this mysterious gentleman, Bebop and Rocksteady immediately recognized him.
"Wait a minute yo! I heard of you! You're that phantom thief that the homies back at Shadow Fist has been talkin about!" Bebop exclaimed pointing a finger at him.
"Da! I think they said your name was Nexus Lupin" said Rocksteady and that made the phantom thief grin behind his mask confirming their assumption.
Nexus Lupin, an infamous dimension traveling phantom thief known throughout the multiverse. He's known to have a reputation for popping out of nowhere when you least expect it and take whatever catches his interest, from priceless artifacts to powerful weapons and even ancient relics and he'd disappear without a trace after that. He also has a reputation for being a thorn to other people's objectives and plans whether if it's the good guys or bad guys.
"You are correct mes amies" said Nexus "I am indeed the infamous dimension traveling phantom thief, Nexus Lupin" he confirmed with yet another bow as Bebop and Rocksteady got themselves ready in battle stances.
"What does fancy dressed thief want!?" Rocksteady demanded clenching his fists.
"What do I want you say?" questioned the phantom thief tilting his head to the side "Oh nothing, I just came looking for something" he replied.
"Lookin for something?" parroted Bebop "Ya mean ya looking for this thing yo?" Bebop questioned showing Nexus the red taurus diamond in one of his hands "Well ya can't have it gentleman thief dude! 'Cause Rock and I got here first and we stole this thing fair and square ya dig?!" said the mutant warthog pointing at the diamond in his hand with his other hand while glaring at Nexus for emphasis.
"Oh… you mean this~?" Nexus asked holding the red diamond all of a sudden.
"Huh?! What the-?!" exclaimed Bebop flabbergasted as he looked to see that the diamond had disappeared from his hand all of a sudden "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!" he demanded turning to the phantom thief who chuckled in amusement in response.
"Nyet!" exclaimed Rocksteady in disbelief "Give back the diamond puny thief!" demanded the mutant rhino "Or I will pop your head like the blue berries!" he threatened while punching his palm for emphasis.
"Skinny and Fatty said what?" said Nexus.
"What?" said Bebop and Rocksteady only for Nexus to laugh hysterically.
"Made ya talk!" laughed Nexus in amusement infuriating the duo.
"Oh-wha-wha-wha! Ugh! What-what?!" stuttered Bebop in disbelief "You makin fun of us foo?! I will bust yo dang head!" the mutant warthog shouted practically ticked off as he spun around while his mohawk glowed a purple hue and hurled a purple laser mohawk at Nexus with a shout of "WHOO!".
"I IS NOT FAT! ONLY BIG BONED!" shouted Rocksteady equally ticked off as he pulled out his mini-gun and open fired with a battle cry.
Nexus chuckled in amusement, raising up his cane which was color black with a silver handle and a blue orb on top.
The laser mohawk reached Nexus followed by the mini-gun fire engulfing him in an explosion leaving smoke as Rocksteady continued firing his mini-gun with Bebop following up with purple laser fire from his palms.
After firing for a few seconds, they stopped as all that they could see was smoke.
"You think he's toast?" Bebop asked Rocksteady.
"Possibly" replied Rocksteady "Let's grab the jewel and get out of here" he said.
"Oh, really~?" said a familiar voice from the smoke, shocking the two mutants.
"What?!" exclaimed Rocksteady in shock.
"No way yo!" said Bebop in equal disbelief.
(Insert Skullgirls OST – Them's Fightin' Words)
A bright blue light illuminated from the smoke. When it cleared it revealed Nexus Lupin unharmed and there was a barrier in front of him and the source of the light came from his cane which revealed to be a magic wand as the cane's orb glowed blue.
"Dude! He's a freakin magician yo!" Bebop exclaimed in shock.
"Correction… sorcerer" said Nexus with a grin behind his mask as he made the barrier disappear.
"And look~" said Nexus holding out the red taurus diamond "I still have it~" he taunted when all of a sudden a small blue magic circle appeared above the diamond when it suddenly disappeared "Oops! Now it's gone!" he said with a chuckle upon seeing Bebop and Rocksteady's shocked faces.
"You… you just destroyed the diamond yo!" Bebop said in disbelief.
"Oh, chill out "dude", I only put it inside my personal pocket dimension" said Nexus casually.
"Then bring it back foo!" Bebop demanded.
"Give it back you say? Hmmm…." said Nexus holding his masked chin in thought "How. About… no…" was his reply.
Rocksteady snorted letting out steam out of his nose as he got into a stance "Then prepare to get crushed like purple grape!" he shouted in anger as he charged at the phantom thief.
Nexus grinned as he sidestepped to the left and created a magic circle in front of Rocksteady.
"Olé~!" said Nexus slightly bowing with his arms gesturing to his right as Rocksteady went through the magic circle which disappeared.
"Rock!" Bebop exclaimed in alarm.
"Oh relax, he's alright" said Nexus as he snapped his fingers and another magic circle appeared in front of Bebop.
"Wha?" said Bebop in confusion only to see Rocksteady appear out of the magic circle and charging right towards him at a rapid pace leaving no time to dodge.
Upon seeing each other, the duo screamed in fright and Rocksteady crashed into Bebop.
"Ooh… that's gotta hurt" said Nexus chuckling in amusement.
Rocksteady stood up holding his head and noticed that he was on top of Bebop as the latter groaned.
"Oh… sorry Bebop" Rocksteady apologized.
"It's okay…" Bebop squealed in reply as he managed to get up.
The duo heard Nexus laughing as they turned to him "Ahahahahahahahaha! Oh my! That was so amusing that I almost died laughing!" he said laughing like crazy which only infuriated the duo even more.
"Enough! Quit hiding behind magic tricks like coward and face us like a man!" Rocksteady demanded.
"Yeah! What he said foo!" Bebop said in agreement.
The phantom thief grinned "If you insist" he said "I could use a little exercise and this gives me the chance to try out my new toy" he said which confused the duo.
Nexus made his cane disappear confusing them even more and the next thing they knew, they saw him pull out of his blazer what looked like a cross between a gun and a knuckle duster and it was gold and red with some silver on the knuckle parts and at the top part and it also has a black grip and a purple jewel at the top side. This was the Lupin Gunner.
Bebop raised an eyebrow and scanned the weapon in Nexus' hand with his goggles only to get zero results.
"What the heck is that thing?" Bebop questioned out loud.
Nexus chuckled deviously in response and he raised up his free hand towards the barrel of the Lupin Gunner and hit it with his palm pressing it like a button as the weapon played suspenseful jazz music.
"Wha?" said Bebop in confusion.
"What is that loud music?" said Rocksteady in equal confusion.
Nexus smirked behind his mask "Henshin" he said as he let go and swung the Lupin Gunner upwards just above his head projecting an array of jewels everywhere causing Bebop and Rocksteady to duck avoiding the flying jewels.
"What the what?! Where the heck did these jewels come from?!" Bebop exclaimed as he and Rocksteady watched the jewels gather around Nexus and turned into armor.
L~UPIN!
Nexus swung his cape to the side and with the end of the jazz music, the armor attached to him creating a small shockwave and bright light making the duo stagger a bit and cover their eyes.
When the shockwave cleared, they looked toward Nexus and their jaws dropped.
In Nexus Lupin's place was an armored warrior with a brown suit, black straps around his elbows, black and gold armor with hints of jewels on them composed of boots, greaves, bracers with black and gold gloves, knee armor, a pouch strapped by three belts on the side of his left thigh, a reddish brown chestplate with a black and gold belt strap slung around it with jewels in the middle and a pouch on the left side, a black and gold belt with a purple jewel tilted on the right side of his waist, a black and gold helmet resembling that of a phantom thief with the silver mouthguard having a mustache, a purple jewel at the forehead area and orange visor and finally, black armor around the shoulders and neck with film at the edges, a pair of open scissors at the middle just below his collar and a black cape.
"Y-Y-You! You're one of those masked armored dudes!" exclaimed Bebop pointing at Nexus "What were they called again?"
"I think it was Masked Rider" Rocksteady guessed.
"Correction… Kamen Rider..." corrected Nexus "Kamen Rider Lupin... at your service" he introduced his rider form with a bow.
The duo just looked on dumbstruck. Rocksteady was the first to snap out of it as he snorted.
"It not matter if you're wearing new costume! You still gonna be crushed by the Bebop and Rocksteady!" he declared with Bebop snapping out of it as well.
"Yeah! Prepare to meet yo maker foo!" said Bebop as he and Rocksteady prepared to fight.
(Insert Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger - Lupinranger Roll Call Henshin Theme Extended)
"By all means…" said Lupin raising his free hand up "Come get some" he taunted while doing a "C'mon" gesture at the two mutants.
Rocksteady glared as he snorted. He let out a rhinoceros cry before charging forward, horn pointed towards Lupin.
Lupin chuckled as he pressed the barrel of his Lupin gunner.
GUN!
He pointed his Lupin Gunner and open fired at Rocksteady, only for the mutant rhino to quickly put on a pair of huge metal gloves and blocked the laser fire with them.
Lupin dodged at the last second as Rocksteady ran past him only to stumble forward after feeling someone punch him from behind. He turned around only to see nothing.
"Hee hee~! Ya can't fight whatcha can't see!" spoke the voice of Bebop as a shimmer passed the phantom thief rider revealing that the mutant warthog turned invisible.
This only made Lupin chuckle in amusement as he pressed his Lupin Gunner again.
BREAK!
He swung his weapon to the right, hitting Bebop making him visible. He staggered back with a slight yelp "Doof! Lucky shot foo!" said Bebop before firing lasers from his hips.
Lupin swung his left arm creating an orange jewel shaped shield blocking the attacks before charging towards Bebop. Lupin threw a right hook with the Lupin Gunner in hand striking Bebop on the chest making him stagger before receiving a right kick. Lupin sent a right backhand at Bebop only for the latter to dodge it "Ha ha! Missed!" taunted Bebop "Hee hee~!" he dodged with a few twists and turns every time Lupin attempted to strike. This didn't infuriate the phantom thief but made him more amused.
Bebop fired a barrage of hip laser fire only for Lupin to parry it with his weapon before striking Bebop twice and followed by an uppercut to the jaw sending him flying upwards and into the ground.
Lupin turned around to see Rocksteady charge at him with a hammer held in his left hand. The latter swung it downwards aimed for Lupin's head only for the rider to parry it with his weapon. Lupin swung his weapon at Rocksteady striking a hit making the mutant rhino stagger, surprising him due to how strong that blow was despite the size of the rider. Lupin followed up with a spin kick making Rocksteady stagger again, next he threw a couple of more punches and another spin kick before charging at Rocksteady and sent a barrage of punches at him followed by an uppercut, making the rhino stagger back and fall on his back.
"Hmm…" hummed Lupin as he watched Rocksteady get back up "I is not let you get away without a crushing!" the rhino declared pulling out a sickle and charged forward.
Lupin only chuckled as he took out what looked like a gold toy car with a blade at the back, this was the Lupin Blade Viral Core. He inserted it into the top part of the Lupin Gunner as the blade part of the car unfolded turning the weapon into a dagger.
TUNE: LUPIN~ BLADE!
Lupin got into a stance with his weapon as Rocksteady swung his sickle and hammer at the rider.
They dueled with sickle and hammer against dagger and they were going nuts. Every time Rocksteady would swing his sickle and hammer at Lupin, he'd parry them with his lupin blade.
"I think it's about time we end this" declared Lupin and as he parried another strike, he thrusted his free hand forward sending a lightning squall at Rocksteady electrocuting him and sending him flying and land on his back in front of the entrance of the museum.
"Uuuuuugh…" groaned Rocksteady as the rhino was smoking from the electricity but all in all, he was fine.
Lupin twirled his Lupin Gunner and chuckled, only to feel a hit from his back causing him to stagger forward.
"Ya think ya can beat my partner and get away with it? I don't think so foo!" spoke Bebop's voice as Lupin was kicked in the stomach "Hee hee~!" sang Bebop before hitting Lupin again.
"Oh… totally forgot about you Porky" commented Lupin casually before countering a kick from Bebop with a kick of his own.
"Who ya callin Porky mister fancy pants?!" Bebop shouted before firing a laser barrage at Lupin, only for him to disappear.
"Wha?!" exclaimed Bebop.
"Boo!" said Lupin who appeared behind Bebop startling the latter allowing the rider to electrocute him followed by throwing a spin kick, sending the mutant warthog flying towards the front of entrance as well as he landed next to Rocksteady.
"Ugh… man, I forgot about him being a magician yo…" groaned Bebop sitting up while rubbing his head.
"Sorcerer…" corrected Rocksteady also sitting up rubbing his head.
Lupin chuckled as he casually walked towards the downed duo until he was a couple of feet from them "I have to say gentlemen… this was quite the experience…" he said tapping the flat of his blade to the palm of his hand "I'd like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to test out my new powers" he said.
This only made the duo glare at Lupin "Alright foo! You had yo fun! Now give us back the red taurus!" Bebop demanded.
"Da! Or else!" threatened Rocksteady.
Amused, Lupin decided to play along "Oh, alright!" he said raising his hands up in surrender "I'll give back your diamond" he said as Bebop and Rocksteady stood up.
"Good! Now give us the bling, chop chop!" said Bebop holding out his hand expecting the diamond while Rocksteady crossed his arms waiting.
"Sure~! but first… a riddle!" said Lupin confusing the duo.
"Though liquid in nature, don't push me too far for then I will break, and the damage may scar. What am I?" riddled Lupin.
Bebop and Rocksteady looked at each other not sure of what to say, they shrugged and turned to Lupin "What?" asked Bebop.
"The answer is…" trailed off Lupin with a grin.
GUN!
"GLASS!" he said pointing his Lupin Gunner in gun mode to his right and open fired breaking a few display cases nearby. That triggered an alarm.
Bebop squealed in panic "He triggered the alarm man!" he exclaimed holding his head in panic.
"You tricked us!" Rocksteady accused pointing a finger at Lupin.
"Well it's your fault for falling for it" Lupin said with a shrug of his shoulders "And now…" he said as he pressed the barrel of his Lupin Gunner with his palm.
UL~TIMATE…
"Goodbye~!" said Lupin as he swung his blade sidewards sending a jewel shaped energy slash at the duo.
LUPIN~ SLASH!
"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!" exclaimed the duo as they were sent flying.
Outside the entrance, Bebop and Rocksteady came crashing through the front entrance doors and into the middle of the streets.
The duo ended up on a rough landing with a *THUD* as they both groaned.
The both of them managed to stand back up on their feet as they turned to the entrance and saw Kamen Rider Lupin watching them from the entrance.
He waved his hand and wiggled his fingers before saying "Ciao~!" and disappeared into blue mist.
The duo just looked on at the spot where the phantom thief was for a good couple of minutes before Bebop broke the silence.
"Man… I really hate that guy…" he said.
"Da, I as well comrade" agreed Rocksteady with a nod "And he got away with our bounty" he said.
Bebop groaned with a slump "Couldn't this night get any worse?" he said.
As if on cue, the sound of sirens was heard "Me and my big mouth" said Bebop as he and Rocksteady turned to see two police jeeps along with two police cycles approaching them.
The jeeps and motorcycles looked like ordinary motorbikes which have a white and black color scheme with red sirens on them but what stood out were two things and those were a logo of a shield with a canine on it stamped to the side or front of the vehicles and as well as the letters 'SPD' on the side or front of the vehicles.
The vehicles stopped in front of Bebop and Rocksteady just a few feet from them.
Five individuals got out of their vehicles and one of them took out a megaphone and spoke through it "Halt! SPD! You are under arrest!" spoke the person revealing to be a young female.
The duo was shocked upon hearing those words.
"SPD!?" Rocksteady exclaimed.
"It's the space fuzz man! They got a branch in here too?!" exclaimed Bebop revealing that he and Rocksteady know of SPD.
SPD or Space Patrol Delta is an interplanetary police force charged with enforcing laws over areas of space, using advanced technology to bring peace and order.
"We demand that you surrender and come peacefully or else, we'll resort to apprehend you by force!" shouted the one in the megaphone.
"Oh yeah!?" called out Bebop attempting to stay cool.
"Who gonna make us!?" Rocksteady challenged.
"We will..." said the individual as she along with the other four walked forward with the headlights of the two jeeps revealing themselves and Bebop and Rocksteady's jaws dropped for the second time in a row.
The five individuals were clad in black spandex under black and gray armor composed of greaves, knee pads, armored vests, shoulder pauldrons, upper arm armor, elbow pads and bracers, black gloves, black boots and identically shaped helmets with silver mouthguards, black visors and the SPD logo on the forehead area and they all wielded identical assault rifles but what differentiated them from one another were their secondary colors and as well as their colored helmets which are red, blue, green, yellow and pink respectively. They also have colored numbers on their left pauldron, a 01 for red, a 02 for blue, a 03 for green, a 04 for yellow and a 05 for pink. All in all, they looked like special forces officers.
"SPD Red!" called out the red officer who was the female on the megaphone holding up her rifle with her right hand while pointing forward.
"SPD Blue!" called out the blue officer who sounded like a teenage male also holding up his rifle pointing upwards with both hands.
"SPD Green!" called out the green officer with a gruff middle-aged male voice holding up his rifle in a stance.
"SPD Yellow!" called out the yellow officer with a young male voice shouldering his rifle.
"SPD Pink!" called out the pink officer with a young female voice while doing a pose with her rifle.
"Power Rangers SPD! A-Squad!" the five rangers called out in unison raising up their rifles while pointing forward.
Bebop and Rocksteady just stood gawking until they yelled out "WHAAAAAAAAAAA?!"
Author's Notes:
Inspired from XP4Universe and Fir100
That's all for the first chapter. Bet you were surprised to see Bebop and Rocksteady from TMNT 2012 in here weren't cha? If you remember, at the end of the final season, the both of them turned up a new leaf and became good guys. If you're wondering why they're bad guys in here, well personally I found them kinda funny when they fight against their enemies and as well as their little shenanigans when they were bad guys but don't worry, they won't always be bad guys in here. How so? You'll have to find out when more info about the Shadow Fist Guild will be revealed in the future.
If you're wondering who the gods of adventure are, well you might already take a guess of who they are but if you're not sure, then you'll have to find out in the upcoming chapters.
To those familiar with Nexus Lupin, well you saw him about three times in XP4Universe's stories and the reason why he's in here is because I was the guy who created him in the first place, personality and all and since I'm writing stories now, I'd might as well include him. And yes, he's a Kamen Rider in here and you'll get to see more of him again in the future.
And yes, Power Rangers SPD is in here and why A-Squad? Well, I found their outfits cool and even their weapons and I find it a bit of a waste to pass out on using A-Squad SPD rangers for a story. If you're wondering who's behind the suits of A-Squad, don't worry, it's not the same ones who betrayed SPD from the series and you'll have to find out who's behind those suits on the next chapter and if you're wondering about the B-Squad rangers AKA the main rangers of the series… well you'll have to find out as well in the future.
For now, stay tuned for the next chapter
