Hi. It's good to see everyone again. Now, here is Chapter 8.
(This is a recap from the last episode)
Michael then did as sidekick at the Nakasone's chest, having Nakasone roll on the ground, then getting up, again, before getting punched so hard, it send him flying to the ground. Michael then took out the Faiz Shot and inserted the mission memory in, which he took out from the phone.
Ready!
The Faiz Shot then transformed into its Knuckle Mode, which was now an energy-powered knuckle-duster, grabs the handle, opens the phone, and presses the enter button.
Exceed Charge!
Michael then charged towards Nakasone, and punched the Stinkbug's chest, executing the Grand Impact attack. The Faiz symbol emerged from Nakasone's back, before crumbling into ash.
Clover Bar
Saeko poured a drink of Monkey's Lunch beer for Takuma, which was his favorite. Murakami was also there too, but not for drinks. Saeko puts Takuma's beer on the table tab.
"Here you go, Takuma-kun. Your favorite," Saeko said, as Takuma then took a sip of his beer.
"Excellent as always," Takuma complimented.
"Alright, let's get to the point. Saeko's plan with that Orphnoch who was killed two weeks ago, was a secret success," Murakami said.
"What do you mean?" Takuma asked.
"Sure, the Orphnoch was killed, but this experiment proved to be a success," Murakamai explained.
"Murakami-kun, can I request to step in. We can't do the same idea forever," Saeko asked.
"Of course," Murakami said. As Murakami got up to leave, Takuma spoke up.
"Can I assist her, I can get the belt before the user transforms," Takuma requested.
"I appreciate you wanting to cooperate, but for now…I'll send Saeko," Murakami said, declining Takuma's request. "Besides, Saeko is an expert fighter. She's been an Orphnoch since she was 18. And you, Takuma, had been one for about 3 years. If Faiz needs a needs brains to beat him, I'll send you. But for now, I'm sending Saeko."
"Best of luck to me," Saeko said with a smile.

Episode 8: Excellent Bike
Kiba's Apartment
Kiba, Yuka, and Kaido were eating breakfast, more specificly Miso Shiru. Kaido was eating breakfast very fast like he was the roadrunner from Looney Tunes. After Kaido was finished he bursted out, running through the door. This caught the attention of Kiba and Yuka.
"Hey!" Kiba called out. Kaido stopped.
"Where are you going?" Kiba asked.
"Don't interfere with me. That's all I wanted to say. I'll do what I please with these powers," Kaido said cocky.
"You should really stop with this revenge," Kiba said. "I went after a person for vengeance before. But, to this day, I still regret it."
"Then why did you do it?" Kaido asked uninterested. "Are you just trying to be a better man?"
"That's not it. We're trying to save you. If you fall in the Orphnoch powers…you'll lose yourself and become a thoughtless monster," Kiba lectured. Kaido then laughed.
"What's funny?" Yuka asked.
"This is great. I'm a monster. I'm a MONSTER!" Kaido said with delight. Kaido then skipped
But Kaido was already gone. "This guy doesn't get it, doesn't he?"
"Probably," Yuka agreed. The two then went back to eating their breakfast.
Sakurabayashi Girls' High School
Kaido bursted through some school doors, and did a cartwheel.
"Alright! Today I'm going to really run amok!" Kaido exclaimed in delight. Kaido's face then faded white.
Hen-shin
Kaido then transformed into the Snake Orphnoch. Kaido then flipped the little snake tail on the back of his head, ready to warm up to do something. But, something stopped him. It was a acoustic guitar playing a familiar tune. So, Kaido decided to follow it. Kaido then opened the door where the music was coming from, while reverting back to his human form, which was the gymnasium.
Kaido then saw, there was no guitar. But a woman, who was Saeko, in her white blouse, black pants and heels, next to a radio.
"Pleasure to meet you, Kaido Naoya," Saeko said with a smile.
"You…used my talent to lure me here?" Kaido asked.
"I just want to ask you a few questions," Saeko said. "First, what do you think of you Orphnoch powers?"
"They're amazing. I've never felt so much power," Kaido said with pure joy.
"Glad you're enjoyed it. And you killed your first human," Saeko added.
"Well, he killed people anyways. I regret nothing," Kaido said.
"That's good. Next question, what do you think of Kiba Yuji and Osada Yuka?" Saeko asked.
"Oh. They're very annoying. They really are trying to ruin my fun," Kaido replied.
"Final question…do you think I'm beautiful?" Saeko asked with a smile even make Kaido more attracted to her.
"Obviously," Kaido replied.
"That's all. Thank you for your time," Saeko said. Saeko then turned around and walked out of the gym doors from the back of the gym.
Outside, of the school, Yuka sensed that Kaido was in the school. Yuka then start to felt unease.
Since, this was the school was she was abused, killed all but one of her classmates, and sent her sister in a coma. Yuka decided not to go in, due to her actions, turned a-heel and walked away.
Kikuchi Cleaners
Michael was using the cleaning iron, iron clothes, more specifically a light blue dress. Mari walks by and notices Michael wearing mittens, while ironing.
"Why do you where those?" Mari asked.
"What do you mean?" Michael asked.
"I'm no ironing expert, but I know you're not supposed to wear mittens," Mari said sternly.
(Cue In Doubt by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:29, 0:47-1:09)
"I told you already... It's in case so I don't get burned," Michael repeated. "And please watch your tone."
"What tone?" Mari asked, getting annoyed.
"Well, no offense, you're kind of feisty," Michael pointed out.
"How?" Mari asked, getting a bit mad.
"Well… You were kind of a jerk when you tried to steal the belt," Michael pointed out.
"Are you an idiot? It was my belt to begin with," Mari snapped.
"One, I knew it was your belt, and two, this is what I'm talking about," Michael said.
"Idiot! I'm not feisty!" Mari snapped.
"What do you think you're doing right now?" Michael shot back.
"Definitely being intelligent, idiot!" Mari shouted, as she snapped even more.
"You don't have to be antagonistic towards me! Aren't you a hero?!" Michael asked.
"Idiot!" Mari snapped.
"Stop it already!" Keitaro sand, ending the fight between the two. "Michael does have a point. Plus, he's being intelligent in this situation. If you call the other person stupid or idiot, it's stupid to say the words back."
"But, I didn't ask for any of you to come," Mari said.
"Well, we're here aren't we?" Michael said, as Mari gave a stern look at Michael, which made Keitaro sigh.
(End Track)
"Ok. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to try to fix you two into getting along," Keitaro said, as Michael and Mari looked at each other, knowing this was going to be a long journey.
On a Bridge
A yellow bus, with the slogan save the earth, was driving on the bridge. When the bus was off the bridge, it then was transported into a tunnel.
There was a lot of people on the bus. Men in gray suits were looking at watch's to see if they were late for their job, and schoolgirls were gossiping on guys they liked. One stood out that nobody noticed.
A young man, wearing a gray sweatshirt, with dark blue long sleeves under it. He had long black hair. He was also wearing a black cap, with headphones on his ears. He was listening to Wanna Jump by Crooklyn Clan. (For those who don't know what that song is; look it up if you know a lot of curse words; Even though it has two) He is holding a yellow origami of a crane. The young man then takes out a match from his pocket and lights it, which generates a small flame. The young man puts the match on the lizard origami. When they both touched, the flame passes on into the crane, making it a bigger flame. The young man then threw the origami on the gray circle-paterned surface. The young man (offscreen) transformed into the Spider Orphnoch. People were in horror and tried to escape from the spider. But (offscreen) the Spider killed them all, while the Origami was burning.
The spider, who was now in his human form, walked off the bus and out of the tunnel. The bus then burned behind the young man.
Near the Police Station
Yuka felt terrible on what she had done. She hasn't attacked people since then…but still felt remorse. Yuka then looked at her hands. Maybe Kiba was wrong...maybe she wasn't human anymore. Just a pure monster.
"Why… Why did this have to happen?" Yuka asked herself. Yuka knew, or thought she knew, what to do now. She had to turn herself in. She saw the police station just ahead, and went to enter. Until, a silver convertible came behind Yuka, dodged her, and screeched in front of her. The driver was revealed to be, Saeko, still in her casual outfit, with black sunglasses.
"Just what are you doing?" Saeko asked.
"I was about to ask you the same question. Here's a follow-up question…why are you here?" Yuka shot back.
"I was driving around, until I saw you, by the police station," Saeko said.
"I just can't take it anymore. I have to do the right thing," Yuka said.
"Really? Yet, you killed the majority of your basketball team? And yet…you spared your sister who had a wounded leg before that day," Saeko said. Yuka's face then turned into suspicion.
"How do you about that?" Yuka asked in suspicion.
"Who did you think was driving?" Saeko asked, which made Yuka's eyes widen.
"You. You set me up!" Yuka shouted which had Saeko smiled even more.
"I had no choice. I had to disconnect you from your humanity. Maybe…I need to put some sense into you. I'm going to give you lots of loving," Saeko said, taking off her sunglasses.
Saeko then opened the car seat and exited the car. Saeko's face faded gray, and she transformed into the Lobster Orphnoch, who looked like a fencing player. Saeko took steps closer to Yuka, who was backing up with fear. Yuka's face faded white, and transformed into the Crane Orphnoch, only for self-defense. Saeko then generated a rapier from her gauntlet-like hand.
Kikuchi Cleaners
Mari rushed to her computer, logged in, and opened the Orphnoch searcher. Michael and Keitaro took notice of this.
"What's going on?" Keitaro asked.
"Orphnoch," Mari responded.
"Where is it?" Michael asked. Mari then zoomed in on the location.
"It's moving to the docks. And there are two," Mari replied. Michael then ran outside. Mari then followed. Mari then saw Michael looking at her motorbike.
"Are you going to get on?" Mari asked.
"I don't know how?" Michael said. Mari facepalmed.
"Oh my god," Mari groaned.
Docks
Saeko was using her rapier to attack Yuka, who was able to dodge some of the rapier's attacks. But due to her low self-confidence, she wasn't strong enough. Saeko's human form then appeared in her shadow.
"What's wrong. At least fight," Saeko said. Yuka was still have doubts about herself. Saeko scoffed. "You're funeral."
Saeko then slashed Yuka in the arm, and then hit her in the stomach, causing Yuka to flying onto the concrete ground, and transforming back into her human form. Yuka then grabbed her arm, it was bleeding. Then, the van from the cleaners came. Michael and Mari then came out of the van.
"Osada!" Michael called out.
"Osada-san!" Mari called out. Mari then helped Osada up on her feet. Saeko then saw the Faiz case, which Michael was carrying.
"So, you're Faiz?" Saeko assumed, with her human form appearing in her shadow.
"Makes no different, I'll still beat…you…" Michael said as he starts to feel in worry.
"What's wrong, Michael?" Mari asked. Michael then opened the case, set up the belt, with its accessories, and put it on.
555
Standing By!
Henshin!
Complete!
Michael then transformed into Faiz. Michael then screamed, in what appears to be anger. Michael charged at Saeko and started to punch her with anger inside of him. Mari and Yuka took notice of this.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Mari asked. Michael wouldn't listen, he was just beating the hell out of Saeko.
"I haven't see you expressed this much anger at an Orphnoch," Saeko said.
"Shut up! I'm going to kill you!" Michael screamed. Yuka ran to Michael, while holding her bleeding arm, and grabbed his right arm.
"Michael! What has gotten in you?!" Yuka asked in concern.
"Don't get in the way! She's mine!" Michael shouted.
"But, even though I've known you for a month, this isn't like you!" Yuka said. Michael then broke free from Yuka's grip. Yuka's face was filled with sadness. "Michael."
Michael then took the digital camera, took out the mission memory for the phone, and inserted it into the mission memory.
Ready!
The camera then became a gauntlet, and Michael put it on his right hand. Michael raised the gauntlet. An image with tree, with white feathers flying flashed on screen. Michael then pressed the enter button as the imaged disappeared.
Exceed Charge!
Michael then screamed as he charged toward Saeko. Then, the Spider Orphnoch jumped from on top of a dock roof, and attacked Michael with a giant shuriken the Spider had in its hand. The shuriken attack caused Michael to roll on the ground, disabling the finisher. Saeko looked at the Spider, as if she knew him.
"Sawada, what are you doing here?" Saeko asked. The name caught Mari off-guard.
"Sawada?" Mari asked in confusion. The Spider, Sawada, turned to Mari, who had an expression mixed with confusion and fear. Sawada then turned to Saeko.
"We have to go. Now," Sawada said. Sawada then grabbed Saeko's arm and jumped with her towards a rooftop. Michael then got up, and witnessed Sawada and Saeko walking away.
"Wait," Michael said. Michael then got punched by a dark gray shield, which caused him to fall into a metal wall. Michael, along with Yuka and Mari, saw that the Tortoise Orphnoch, that looked like a western knight, was the culprit.
"Why at a time like this?" Michael asked. The Tortoise then tackled Michael, and their fight were taken into a new area, by the water. Michael punched the Tortoise's shell-like shield, but the punch proved to be useless. The Tortoise grabbed Michael's head, summoned a bazooka, and fired his weapon at Michael in the chest with sparks coming out of the metal chest, causing Michael to fly to the ground. Michael tried to get up, but the Tortoise's foot was now on Michael's back, preventing him from getting up.
At the Cleaners
The Faiz symbol on Mari's bike glowed, and the bike came to life.
(Cue Electron by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:27, 0:49-1:10)
The bike then speeded away from the cleaners.
Back at the docks
The Tortoise lowered his bazooka at Michael's head, to finish him off. Then, Mari's bike came jumping from behind the van.
"What in the world?" Mari asked, as the bike then turned to the Tortoise.
"Is it magic or is it alive?" Yuka asked.
"I'll go with the second part," Mari said with a bit of confusion in her voice. The bike then speeded to the Tortoise. The sound caught the attention of Michael and the Tortoise Orphnoch.
Battle Mode!
The bike then transformed into a silver human-like robot.
"Wait, is that a…transformer?" Michael asked. The robot then punched the Tortoise in the arm, which made the latter let go of Michael, and fall on the ground. Michael then got up and looked at the robot.
Mari then looked through the instruction manual, and saw the robot on one of the last few pages. As Mari finished reading about the robot in the instruction manual, she went towards Michael.
(End Track)
"Michael! That robot is Auto Vajin! It's a bike that can transform into a robot! It is your ally!" Mari exclaimed to Michael.
"Mari…thank you," Michael said.
(Insert Dead or Alive by Shinichi Ishihara; TV Size Version 2 (with the first verse))
The Tortoise Orphnoch then got up, with his shell-like shield, and preceded to charge at Michael and Auto Vajin. The Auto Vajin then took out the front wheel, which became a weapon, and fired at the Tortoise. The bullets damaged the Tortoise, and sparks came flying out of the Tortoise's chest. As, the Tortoise was distracted, Michael took out the Faiz Pointer and inserted the Mission Memory into it, coverting the Faiz Pointer into it's Kick Mode.
Ready!
Michael puts the Faiz Pointer on his right Power Ankle, opens the Faiz Phone, and presses the enter button, before closing the Faiz Phone.
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 Tortoise got up and Michael then jumped and did an air summersault, before a red energy drill appears near the Tortoise Orphnoch's chest. Michael then did a flying side kick and entered into the red drill, which hit the Tortoise. 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 symbol shows up on the Tortoise's back, before the Tortoise Orphnoch crumbles into ash.
(End Insert Song)
Michael then began to lose consciousness, and the Faiz armor begins to disappear as lasers and back into the belt. Yuka runs towards Michael, managing to catch him before he hits to concrete surface. Yuka then sees Michael breathing, peacefully. Yuka sighs in relief.
"He's only asleep," Yuka said as she informed Mari. Mari sighs as well. Mari walks towards Yuka to help pick up an asleep Michael.
Takuma watches from a distance and clenches his fist.
"Damn you Faiz. Damn you Sawada. Both of you have caused some problems for the president. However…this won't be a problem, for a true lucky clover member. Don't worry, it won't be me. If I can get contact with him, it's the immortal lizard," Takuma said, as he plans to get in contact with a comrade of his and Saeko's.
To Be Continued
Thanks for reading Chapter 8. And I really mean it. I enjoy you reading my creativity, it shows that you really do care about this story, and so do I. I try to insert effort and not add things that don't make sense.
I want to point out a couple things I from the last chapter. Firstly, the creature designer, which I updated in my chapters. The creature designer will still be Tamotsu Shinohara (the creature designer for the Orphnochs), who also was the main designer for Turboranger, Dairanger, Kakuranger, Ryuki, Maigranger, Boukenger, Gekiranger, Kiva, Shinkenger, OOO (with Yutaka Izubuchi), Gokaiger (with Yasushi Nirasawa), Go-Busters (where he designed the main villains) Gaim, Toqger, Ninninger (he also designed the main villains), Zyuohger (he designed the main villains, for like the third time), Build, and Zi-O (with Yutaka Izubuchi). His monster designs are very great, and makes him on of the best tokusatsu designers of all time in my opinion.
And the second thing, yes, I foreshadowed Kaixa. I know there's a lot of Kusaka hate, but I'll try and fix that. You may think Kaixa will be the same, at first, but, don't worry, I have a surprise.
Fun Fact: Did you know, that Zyuranger wasn't going to be the first season adapted into Power Rangers? I did mention at Chapter 5, that Stan Lee tried to bring Sun Vulcan into America, but, unintentionally, Haim Saban got the same idea. Saban wanted to do Bioman in 1986, then Turboranger, perhaps in 1989-1990, and Jetman in 1992, as the first seasons of Power Rangers. Zyuranger was probably the best choice, because Jurassic Park (great movie) was dinosaur hype, and MMPR came out in the right time. I guess we have to thank Steven Spielberg and Michael Crichton (RIP).
It is women's history month, and I just want to say that women are people too. I know that's obvious, but, I really enjoy writing female characters because I feel like women are misinterpreted in film and tv as romatic affections for male, and the trope, 'Female Death for Male Development.' I got rid of the Inoue aspect of my writing, immediately, because, I feel like his views on women, aren't very good in my opinion. What I'm trying to say is, I support women. They are beautiful no matter what. They are smart, powerful, talented, etc. Please remember those words, and keep supporting everyone around you.
See you next time. Bye.
