Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Also happy anniversaries, to the Super Sentai shows that aired this month. More specially, to fans and myself, to Gokaiger. I also want to wish a happy anniversary to my favorite sentai shows part of the modern trilogy (Shinkenger-Gokaiger).
(This is a recap from the last episode)
Michael then took the Mission Memory, which appears to be a small metallic card key, and put it in flashlight.
Ready!
Michael then put the Faiz Pointer on his right ankle. Michael opened the phone and pressed the enter button.
Exceed Charge!
A low red light came from the phone, through the red Photon Blood of the suit, and entered to the right Power Ankle's Energy Holster. The Mantis got up and was not done. Michael then jumped and did an air summersault and red energy drill appears near the Mantis Orphnoch's chest. Michael then did a flying side kick and entered into the red drill, which hit the Mantis. Thus, executing Michael's finishing kick, the Crimson Smash.
Michael then came back after his kick, in a red figure for a couple of seconds. The Faiz logo appears on his chest, and crumbles into ash.
Cruise
In the engine room, a Orphnoch with the motif of a horse, with a mix between a knight and a unicorn, is revealed onboard. The Horse Orphnoch hears the ship stops and its destination, before transforming back into his human form, but his face isn't seen. He leaves the engine room and then the boat.

Docks
Michael and Yuka walked off the Sunflower Cruise, with suitcases.
"Wow. So this is what Tokyo looks like?" Yuka asked.
"You haven't seen nothing yet?" Michael said. Yuka then stopped as Michael went ahead
"Wait, you've been here before?" Yuka asked.
"No, but I know ins and outs, I checked by using MapQuest. I'm still trying to know work the computer mouse," Michael replied.
"I see," Yuka said, as she catches up to Michael.
Sakurabayashi Girls' High School
(End Track)
An elderly detective, by the name of Jyoji Soeno, was examining the crime scene of the massacre at Sakurabayashi Girls' High School, where all, but two, died. Soeno saw two gym doors, that were dented with human hands.
"Hey!" Soeno called out to his partner, who was a young detective named Nobuhiko Sawamura, who had black spiked hair. "What do you think about these?"
"It's someone's prank, isn't it?" Sawamura asked.
"You... Seeseh! See what happens if you use your imagination?" Soeno said, as he walked to the middle of the gym. "Right here... Eleven basketball players...were mysteriously killed. There were thirteen in total, making two survivors. The two survivors were step-siblings according to the mother who reported the attack."
"But...but when we found the bodies, weren't they all mutilated?" Sawamura asked. "It might've been in the middle of them leaving school, or at their homes."
"That's why whatever caused the girls' death here...had something to gain by it," Soeno responded. "The hand prints are not human. I've seen human prints up-close before...and they don't look like that through metal. They don't even appear dented in metal."
"What? That can't be..." Sawamura said. "Are you saying some monster rank amok in here? That's impossible."
Soeno sighs as he sees a photo of the basketball team, with Yuka and Michiko in them. Michiko was smiling in the photo, while Yuka was not.
"Poor kids," Soeno sighed.
Plaza
At the plaza, a piece of pizza appeared in two plates. One for Yuka, and one for Michael.
"Itadakimasu," Yuka said. Michael then repeated the same thing. They both took a bite of their pizzas.
"Excuse me, Michael, I'm sorry if it's too late to ask you this. But, are you from America?" Yuka asked.
"Yes. Born and raised," Michael replied.
"Are you family or relatives on a trip?" Yuka asked. Michael was silent for a moment. "What's wrong?"
"They're all dead," Michael said softly. Yuka's eyes widen.
"What?" Yuka asked in shock.
"My mom and dad died in a car accident. This affected my older brother's mental health, that he took his own life. So, me and my sister went to live with our grandfather. My grandfather then died of AIDS. While, my sister…it's hard to explain. I kind of don't remember. I suffered a brain injury before she died," Michael explained. (I got this idea from a fanfic I read; If any of you are Equestria Girls fans, I suggest you got to read one of them on Wattpad to see what I mean)
"Then, what about friends?" Yuka asked.
"I came alone," Michael replied. "It was a long time ago. Hurry, before the pizza gets cold."
Michael then went back eating his pizza. Yuka didn't know how to react to this. This kid was all alone.
Kumamoto Airport
A man in sunglasses and a black bike helmet walked out of the automatic door of the airport. He was wearing leather with a light blue jean jacket, and dark blue pants. This man's name is Aoki. As a bike stopped, the bike rider got off. Aoki then got on the bike. The bike rider noticed that someone was on his motorcycle.
"What?" The bike rider asked. The bike rider walked to Aoki. "Hey, what are you doing?"
"Give me your key," Aoki demanded.
"What are you talking about?" The bike rider asked. Aoki then took of his sunglasses and his face faded gray. Aoki then transformed into an Orphnoch with a motif of an Ox, which looked a lot like a minotaur. The Ox Orphnoch then used a giant wrecking ball fist and knocked the bike rider out.
Bar Clover
At a bar called Bar Clover, a woman was making a drink for a man in glasses. The man was reading a book. The woman poured the drink in the glass. The woman was wearing a white button shirt, with a brown server vest, with a little bow tie as an accessory. The man in glasses was wearing a yellow buttoned up shirt with a brown leather jacket and brown leather pants.
"Takuma ordered the Monkey's Lunch, right?" The woman asked. The man, Takuma, took his drink and had a sip of it.
"Excellent, as always," Takuma complimented.
"Thank you," The woman said. Takuma took out his watch and looked at the time.
"However, Murakami-san is sure late," Takuma said.
"Always the punctual person, hm? The appointment was at 11 o'clock AM…It's only been 14 seconds still then," The woman said. "If you keep complaining about unimportant problems, you won't have any girlfriends."
"Stop it with the pointless discussion," Takuma said. Then, a man in a black suit and a brown tie with yellow stripes walked into the bar.
"Sorry to keep you waiting," The man said. The man then had a seat. "A beautiful restaurant as always."
"It's been a while, Murakami-kun," The woman greeted.
"The best of the best, right, Saeko?" Murakami said. Saeko then put a bottle of scotch on bar counter.
"Murakmi, you prefer scotch, right?" Saeko asked. "It's the best we have. On the house. As congratulations for becoming president."
"Thank you," Murakami said. "I've gathered you here to inform you of something. The procedure has changed, however…I would like you two to acknowledge my installation as president. By the way, where's Mr. J and Kitazaki-san?"
"They're both busy with other assignments they made," Saeko explained.
"Murakami-san. We don't have any complaints. However, since you rose to the top of Smart Brain, we will obey you. We don't want you to use us for boring jobs," Takuma said.
"I understand. Among Orphnoch, you are the best of the best. Which is why I need to ask you something. You remember the Faiz belt, correct?"
"Of course. The second gear Smart Brain created… What about it?" Takuma asked.
"It appears a non-Orphnoch, defeated not one…but two," Murakami explained. Both of the two available members of the bar were confused.
"You're joking, correct?" Takuma assumed.
"No, this is not a joke. This person killed Smart Brain's strongest assassin, and an excellent bounty hunter," Murakami said.
"The Bat and Mantis. Who is this person?" Saeko asked.
"I don't know, but I've asked one of Midorikawa's comrades to follow the belt's signal. He's next on my list, due to him and Midorikawa wokring on one of our biggest triumphs. As for the signal, it will appear every now and again," Murakami said.
"This should be fun," Saeko said.
Near Miyagawa Bay
Michael and Yuka were at the beach, for reasons unknown.
"Hey, Osada, why did you bring me here?" Michael asked.
"I don't know. I have this dream, to go to a place," Yuka replied.
"A place?" Michael asked. Yuka nodded yes.
"I don't know where. But, it's a beautiful place. A sea clear as glass. A very pleasing song. And the people living there are all kind. There is no one who would hurt anyone. Everyone is honest and warm. I…want to try to go to that kind of place," Yuka said.
"Clear as glass?" Michael said. "I don't remember my dream. It probably died when my whole family died. But... I want to be stronger. Stronger to fight the Orphnoch. It's not for power. That's... just what fate wants."
Then, a motorcycle approached them. It was Aoki, and Michael and Yuka got up from the sand.
"Hand over the belt," Aoki demanded.
"What? This again?" Yuka said. Aoki then transformed into the Ox Orphnoch. Aoki then jumped and punched Yuka in the chest. Which sent her flying and injuring her wrist.
"Osada!" Michael said. Michael then pushed the Ox out of the way, and went to get the belt. Michael then grabbed the belt, the phone, the flashlight, and the camera. He put the camera on the right pocket. And the flashlight on the left side. Michael then opened the phone.
555
Standing By!
Michael then put the phone in the belt.
Complete
Michael then transformed into Faiz. Michael then began fighting the Ox Orphnoch. The Ox's fists be Giant like wrecking balls. Which was hard for Michael to fight. Yuka watched Michael fight. Yuka then hears footsteps approaching. Yuka then turned to see a young man walking towards her. It was the young man who watched the Bat Orphnoch turned to ash. He had brown hair and was wearing black pants and a tan jacket.
"Who are you?" Yuka asked.
"I'm your…friend," The young man replied. Yuka was confused by this.
The Ox the punched Michael with his giant fist, and send him into a rock.
"Ow. You annoying cow," Michael said.
(Insert Dead or Alive by Shinichi Ishihara; 0:16-0:38, 1:20- 1:56)
Michael then looked at his phone at took out. The phone top of the phone then turned sideways. The Ox Orphnoch charged at Michael.
103: Signal Mode!
Michael then shot the Ox Orphnoch in the stomach which damaged him for a bit.
106: Burst Mode!
Michael then shot the Ox Orphnoch about three times. Michael then put the phone back in the belt, was he turned it to normal. Michael then took out the digital camera, took out the mission memory from the phone, and inserted in the digital camera, which was the Faiz Shot.
Ready!
The Faiz Shot transformed from a digital camera to a knuckle-like gauntlet. Michael then held the Faiz Shot, and pressed the enter button.
Exceed Charge!
A A low red light came from the phone, through the red Photon Blood of the suit, and entered through the Photon Terminals of the right wrist, where Michaelw as holding the Faiz Shot. The Ox Orphnoch then got up and charged at Michael, who did the same thing. Michael missed a punch from the Ox and was able to punch his stomach, executing the Grand Impact attack. This caused the Faiz symbol to come from his back, and send him flying to the ground, and the Ox exploded.
(End Insert Song Abruptly)
Michael then took off the the Faiz Shot, before noticed Yuka struggling with the young man, who was holding Yuka's arm.
"What do you want?" Yuka asked struggling.
"It's not what I want. I understand. You and I…are the same after all," The young man responded.
"The same?" Michael asked to himself. "Hey stop!"
Michael then tackled the young man, before he then stood back.
"Are you out of your mind?" Yuka asked.
"Now that I think of it, yes," Michael replied. The young man then got up.
"I…won't let you kill her," The young man said.
"Kill?" Michael said in confusion. The young man's face faded to gray and transformed into the Horse Orphnoch (from the opening scene). The Horse Orphnoch then ran to Michael, before he began strangling him.
To Be Continued
Episode 3, done. Yes, I introduced the Lucky Clover and Murakami early. I wanted the villains to be something like the Gedoshu from Shinkenger. Now, I won't be copying and pasting the villain styles like Samurai did with Shinkenger. They're similar, but not a carbon copy.
I will also be removing some characters. I will be removing Smart Lady. I know there are fans of her. But, like the police, she didn't contribute anything to the story. I give Smart Lady's role to Saeko, as the main female villain.
I also want to wish a happy birthday to Leilani Gaja, the actress that played Yuka Osada. Fun fact: Did you know that she auditioned for a role in Kamen Rider Ryuki. It's not clear on which role, but I think she would've been a great Yui Kanzaki. I really enjoyed Gaja's preformace as Yuka, because she really put a lot of effort in making this character we can sympathize with.
Reviews:
Toa Solaric: Thank you. And you gave me an idea on how to introduce the Auto Vajin. I think when Mari is introduced. But, not until we fully introduce Keitaro. And, I private messaged your question, i was foreshadowing.
I'll see you guys next time. If you have an ideas, don't be afraid to share them. See you later. Bye.
