Earth was…. different. The way people bustled about, the many buildings before her… it was different. In a good way though. Zoey had only studied about the planet in her spare time, which came a bit too often for the young lady. She pressed a hand to the necklace she wore; the cube was able to shrink down to the size of a stamp. At least thanks to her programming. 'Only six… I don't even know which powers belong to which.' She could have the power of Kamen Rider Beast for one of them, or Goki Silver… not that it mattered. They were all strong in their own unique ways- wait… the color drained from Zoey's face as she hurried off the sidewalk and behind a building.
It didn't hit her until now- what if the people she found, didn't even have any knowledge of the power they wielded?! She'd be sending in some poor person who could quite possibly, have no idea how to wield this power! Zoey groaned as she sank to the ground. Maybe… maybe there would be a way to… program the power? Or at least the devices? With this idea in mind, the young lady tapped on the mini cube three times. The cube soon floated out into her hands, growing before it settled. 'If I remember correctly, Kamen Rider Zero-One was able to learn the functions of his own suit in less than a few seconds… different situation, but if I can manage something like that, these people will have a chance.'
Zoey pulled up a holographic screen by pressing on both sides of the cube. Letting it go, the cube floated on its own as she started typing- once the holographic keyboard popped up. As she started typing Zoey noticed something… off… while she could access the power of the Super Sentai and Kamen Rider- she couldn't see what they were!
"Sorry, I want them to be a surprise!"
The brown eyed female visibly balked when a holographic A.I. suddenly appeared before her. This A.I. took the shape of… an Earth cat? "Why an Earth cat?" She muttered out loud. The A.I. gave her an unimpressed look. "All the questions to ask, and that's it?" They scoffed. "I happen to find them very interesting, plus this form doesn't give away what each of the powers are." Zoey simply stared at them. She never created an A.I. to go with this system. She didn't want her family to trace anything back to her. So… why?
"Where- where did you come from?"
"Finally! A good question!" The A.I. chuckled as they moved about, which wasn't very far considering they were attached to the cube. "I'm the product of the powers you have." They explained, earning another wide-eyed look from Zoey. "Not your abilities, the powers in the cube."
That still made no sense…
"Honestly the details are still fuzzy to me." The cat A.I. explained, their tail swishing about. "In a way… they kind of banded together, they're all they got in this little space. All I know is I woke up… I guess with the fancy tech your family has, and their desperation… they needed someone to trust. Someone who wasn't…your family."
Zoey swallowed hard. That made sense… her family was the reason why so many of Earth's past protectors had their powers stripped of them. Not to mention their owns were probably the ones her family managed to capture if they couldn't just simply take the power from them right away. "Hey, don't look so sad."
"Why not? My-… I'm the reason they're stuck here. My plan was to return the powers to them the moment I gathered all of them. Instead… I only got six."
The A.I. tried not to frown. "Hey! Six is a good number, many Super Sentai teams consisted of six members, and they always saved the day." Zoey smiled weakly, that was true. Her smile faded a moment later though. "But… why can't I see the powers? I mean… I could have Kamen Rider Beast, or-"
"Okay, that's on me and me alone, I wanted it to be a surprise. Can you imagine the look on a Human's face when they get their transformation device and transform?" She didn't want to say it out loud, but she could. Wide eyes probably, that was a given though. Zoey smiled a bit at the thought before pulling herself back to reality. She needed to focus! "If you can't show me the powers… will you let me program them?"
The A.I. blinked in confusion at the request, but they listened to the plan Zoey had in mind once she explained everything. "Hmm… makes sense, can't have a Human go in like a blind bat." They joked, something that amused Zoey. She liked this A.I., they were a lot more unique and creative than the A.I.s that helped run her parents' ship. "Proceed." Smiling again, Zoey started typing away frantically once the A.I. moved away to let her work. That reminded her… "Do you have a name?" She asked. "Hm? Oh… no." They admitted. She mentally paused, "Well, would it be alright if I were to name you?"
"I don't see why not. We are stuck together for the time being."
"I'll give you a few suggestions later and you can pick from there." Zoey replied, secretly giddy that the A.I. would let her name them. She always wanted a pet… but it never came to pass. Plus, this A.I. was hardly a pet. She would think of something later, she needed to focus on the coding before her.
Time around the young woman mattered very little as she typed, and typed, until… "Finished!" Now whatever Human received one of the powers, they would have knowledge of just how it worked. "Upgrades, each Super Sentai and Kamen Rider received an upgrade of sorts." Zoey thought out loud. "Yeah, but there were different circumstances in each one. Take Kamen Rider Wizard, he got this power ups because a lot of the magic stones were given to him." The A.I. stated, Zoey frowned in thought.
"Would the powers grant the Humans access to them in due time?"
"If they're worthy of them, sure thing." Zoey smiled in thought. It would be like leveling up in a game! She just hoped the Humans wouldn't have trouble leveling up…
"You know, it's getting late, you best find shelter for the night." The A.I. commented. Shelter… oh dear! She hadn't thought of that! The young lady groaned out loud as she rose to her feet, albeit reluctantly. It was getting dark soon, she hardly felt tired, but she would still need a roof of some sort over her head. "How about that building behind you?' The A.I. suggested. Zoey paused and looked at the building in question, it looked to be an old post office of some kind. It… it was better than nothing. "We'll talk more tomorrow, okay? Get some shut eye!" And with that, the A.I. disappeared, leaving Zoey alone with her thoughts once more.
