Meeeehhh, its been over a week since I've posted chapter 25, I know. I've been playing Kingdom Hearts like crazy, and then there was Independence Day, so I've been preoccupied. Here's chapter 26. Just to let you all know, this one will be shorter than normal. I'm not feeling too good.

Chapter 26: A crazy play Or Mighty Morphin' Hinata Rangers!

A few days later, Haruka made a surprise visit to the gang…

All: O.O

Mutsumi: Oh, Haruka-san, what brings you here?

Haruka: You all remember several years ago the play you guys did with Keitaro, right?

Motoko: How could I forget. Seta defeated me at that time.

Su: And Naru got topless!

Motoko and Sarah put bindings on Su and slapped tape over her mouth. Meanwhile, Peter had a nosebleed.

Peter: Aw man, not again…

Motoko sent a ki wave his direction and sent him flying, which ten seconds later he crashed down in the same spot.

Kitsune: Heh, been awhile since that has happened.

Brandon: So what play are we doing?

Shinobu: It's "Journey to the West" again, right?

Haruka: Actually, due to popular demand, it's something different this time. Kids want fancy explosions with their fighting these days, so, it's a Sentai.

Barbara: You know what that means, Motoko?

Motoko: o.o I don't think they should see us doing that again…

Haruka: By the way, we'll be having no S&M or Femdom in this play, got it, Barbara?

Barbara: OHOHOHOHOHO! When the time comes, we'll see!

Haruka (hits Barbara on the head): No, we won't.

Barbara: owwww…alright! Damn, what a bitch…

Haruka pulls out magnums and starts blasting away at Barbara. However, Barbara manages to pull up a psychic shield it time, but only covering her body, so the impact of the bullets left bruising.

Barbara: DAMMIT! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!

Haruka: No, just teaching you a lesson. Don't ever call me a "bitch".

DA pops up: …bitch…

She shoots at me, but I pull all kinds of Matrix and DBZ crap and have the bullets in my little puuchuu hands.

Haruka: …Alright, HE can call me a bitch, but no one else can!

Everybody sweatdrops.

At the play…

Kitsune: I get THIS role! Crap…

Brandon: Shinobu…is it just circumstance that we get these parts?

Shinobu: …I don't think so…

Peter: TEH FOURTH WALL! TEH FOURTH WALL!

May: Bro, it's a bit too late to say that.

Peter: Huh? Why?

May: The author already violated the fourth wall last paragraph…

Peter: Oh…crap.

Mutsumi: Ladies and Gentlemen, and all the cute little kids out there too! The play is about to start, so be seated! (passes out with blood trickling down her mouth)

Peter comes out and picks her up.

Peter: Dammit, she pulls a "Hyatt" all the friggin' time! -- Great, now I'm saying something my brother would…

The curtain goes back, and it shows Brandon, Shinobu, Adara, Peter, and Himeko at a juice bar.

Brandon: (thinking to himself) God, they got this part of the American Power Rangers down…

The kids start bellyaching, shouting, "Nooo, booo, we want explosions and fighting!"

Himeko: You heard them, Su…

Su (behind the stage): Awesome! Here we go!

She presses a button on her watch and the stage changes to a battlefield with a poof!

Peter: "Poof"? You've got to be kidding me…

Adara: We're in battle suits…

Shinobu (looking herself over): Wow, these fit perfectly!

Brandon (blushing behind his helmet): Damn, you look great in that…

Shinobu (blushes): Oh…thanks…

Su comes in wearing a blue plastic cylinder, shouting.

Su: Rangers! Here comes the putty patrol! (runs back out)

Everybody sweatdrops.

Kitsune walks in, wearing a putty costume.

Kitsune: God, this is lame!

Shinobu: (whispering) Kitsune-san, you're not supposed to talk.

Kitsune: Oh, right. BUBOLU-BUBOLU!

Everybody sweatdrops again.

A little kid in the audience yells: Go, good guys! Beat up that one bad guy!

Brandon: If I remember correctly, Su, THERE WAS ALWAYS MORE THAN ONE PUTTY! THAT'S WHY THEY WERE CALLED "PUTTY PATROL"!

Su: I'll fix it. (presses another button on her watch, and images of Kitsune in the outfit appear)

Kids in audience: Cool! Full motion holographic images!

Su: How do they know my secrets! They will never tell anyone else! PREPARE TO-

DA: DON'T.

Su: Poooo…you're no fun…

The rangers fight Kitsune and the image copies until they beat them. Which was about ten seconds later.

Su: Activate THIRD BUTTON! (she presses a third button on her watch)

The holographic copies disappear in a flash of smoke, as well as Kitsune.

Kitsune: Thank God that's over…

Then, Motoko appears in Goldar armor.

Motoko: Rangers, you have been a thorn in our sides since the beginning! Today you will be destroyed!

Kids in audience: YAAAAY! BIG FIGHT SCENE!

The big fight scene ensues, with both sides giving their all. (Of course, they're holding back. Big time) They pretend to pant in exhaustion.

Motoko: Is this the end of my greatness?

Barbara comes out in a Rita Repulsa outfit.

Barbara: Goldar, you fool! Apparently I can only do things myself!

Brandon: Waitaminute… Rita never faces the Rangers DIRECTLY!

Barbara: (whispering) Just play along. It'll turn out better.

Brandon sighs, then assumes a fighting stance: You'll never win, Rita!

Barbara: We'll see, rangers! OHOHOHOHOHHO!

They get into a big fight scene (once again holding back a lot), and then they defeat Barbara.

Barbara: NOOOO! I am beaten! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

She disappears in a flash of smoke.

Brandon: That is the end of the evil Rita Repulsa! The earth is finally at peace!

All the kids in the audience go crazy. Just then though, a piece of equipment falls and tears off Shinobu's top.

Shinobu: Oh crap! (covers up)

Everybody: O.O

All the kids: YEAHHHH! BOOBIES!

Brandon: I guess kids are getting more mature every generation… sighs

After the show…

Haruka: Got to say, you all did really well.

Brandon: But how? I was certain that the parents would demand their money back after Shinobu's "waredrobe malfunction".

Haruka: We gave out a lot of free tickets for next summer.

Shinobu: Oh boy, we have to do it next summer?

Su: Don't worry! I just wiped their memories of Shinomu being topless and of the free tickets ever being offered!

Haruka: That's a good girl. Anyways, here's your pay.

All: O.O

Kanako: Looks like fox-eyes can finally pay off all her bills.

Kitsune: Shut up!

Peter: It's been a long day, and I'm tired. Let's just go to sleep.

Motoko: Agreed.

Barbara: Oh no you don't, Motoko dear. We have some "business" to attend to.

DA: NO! (fires both handguns at Barbara, hitting her but not leaving any wounds or killing her)

Barbara: OWOWOWOWOWOWOW!

Brandon: …Must be rubber bullets.

DA: Nope, they're real. And hollow-point, too! 

Everybody sweatdrops.

I'd have to say, this isn't one of my better chapters. Of course, the reason being is: I FEEL LIKE SHIT. Many thanks to GYRAX and Writer of the Blaze for their support. And you two would be right thinking that I'll continue to support you guys, too. Lol Be sure to read their stories. Yes, I'm well aware that I typed the names of GYRAX's stories wrong, so here you go. s-CRYING-ed and Love or Die Hina. Lol Be sure to read and review, and I'll TRY to get the next chapter up early next week.
