The remaining general's were gathered in King Glendios chamber to discuss something of importance with the king "It has come to my attention that Oksizz and the Grei siblings have gone missing. Now normally it wouldn't be such a concern yet with there lose we have lost a chunk of our remaining troops." Glendios spoke.
V-Saber nods "We have noticed it to your majesty. I didn't think it significant at the time, but before they went missing I had caught them talking about something." He said.
Glendios nods and allows him to continue "I couldn't make out much, but I heard a name. The same one each time." V-Saber said.
"Well then spit it out already." Luquier replied.
"Yeah don't be leaving us in the dark." the other remaining general spoke her voice light, but harsh. She goes by the name Venus.
V-Saber sighed "I don't know who this is, but they spoke of it like some kind of king. They kept calling it Yamigedo." He told them.
"WHAT!" King Glendios yelled and slammed his weapon on the ground scaring the remaining three general's.
"Y-You're majesty. What's wrong?" Luquier asked.
Glendios was silent a moment but seemed to calm after a few minutes "Yamigedo. I never thought that I would hear that name again." He said.
"What is it then sir?" Venus asked curious.
"Yamigedo is a powerful beast, and one of the few beings capable of passing dimensional barriers with ease. Yet Yamigedo is only part of it's name. It is called Yamigedo the Sun Eater." Glendios explained and turned his chair.
"While it is hard to believe there once existed a number of parallel worlds attached to the multi-verse, and Yamigedo destroyed each of them. Not even their deity's could defeat the beast because it became to strong from feeding on their suns." He continued.
"I see, but why would Oksizz and the Grei siblings want to work with this Yamigedo?" V-Saber asked.
"...Because they are not Oksizz and the Grei siblings. They've been replaced by members of Yamigedo's 100 Demons army working to revive it." Glendios deduced before turning back to them.
"General's you have new orders. Find the one's posing as our former allies, and destroy them." Glendios said.
Venus stepped up "Your majesty what about the project? With us gone..." She started.
"I'm taking over. When the planet is purged they'll be unable to gather the needed energy to revive Yamigedo." He interjected.
The three nodded "What about the ranger's though? They will know if we are out." V-Saber asked
"Again that is handled. I am sending out Infinite. He has been wanting to avenge his brother Nebula since his defeat." Glendios said.
The three general's bow and leave as Glendios was annoyed at how sighs of Yamigedo possibly returning was coming about.
"Purging this planet is top priority, but if I must I will destroy their sun. Yamigedo would be to strong if it devours it." He thought already making out a plan should Yamigedo actually be revived.
=UNIVERSE=
The following day came as Drew walked into Sol Academy holding the hand of a 12 year old girl. She was a petite girl standing at 4'3" with a slightly pale skin tone to her and average build. She had short cut black hair that has a slight blue tinge to it, and low cut bangs framing her stormy gray eyes. She wore a short red-pink sundress with a floral design to it, white leggings, and white sneakers.
"Why couldn't I stay with sis?" The girl asked Drew as they walked in.
"Sorry Diana, but Epona has to finish up some fine details on the last case." Drew told her and Diana looked down a bit knowing it was because of her, and she remembered everything that happened while she had been Seductress.
Diana shivers which Drew noticed "Don't blame yourself for what happened Diana. It's not your fault." Drew said.
"Maybe, but if I hadn't been pushing myself to look so beautiful, and if I hadn't been so embarrassed and angry in front of my crush then maybe I wouldn't have attracted Dominatrix essence and became her vessel." Diana says looking down.
Drew sighed "Diana the hard truth is that some people are just stupid and cruel. You...your just a little to mature for your age. You are a twelve year old, but you have the mentality of a sixteen year old." He said.
Diana blinks unsure how to take what Drew said to her and Drew chuckles "What I mean is that I think your letting yourself grow up to quick. Just be a normal twelve year old, and worry about things like crushes, and beauty later." Drew told her and then waves spotting his friends.
"Hey Drew whats up...and who the kid?" Charles asked.
Drew rubbed his head "Well that's going to be quite the story to tell. Come on I'll explain as we head to the office." He told them, and explain he did.
Charles was drooling "Okay not only does she have amazing looks, a kickass personality, but she can fight like a real warrior. Okay...I think I'm in love." Charles said.
Minerva sighed "Charles...I don't think she likes you. At all." Minerva said.
"And has that ever stopped him?" Kathy and Frankie both asked at once.
"Nope." Cody said shaking his head with a sigh.
"Well enough with that. Anyways this is my cousin Diana." Drew said to which the younger girl waves.
The group shared a small laugh as they arrived at the office, and Drew went in giving a note to the Headmistress, and he was permitted to have Diana around with him. Yet he would have to keep an eye on her and not lose track of her at all during her brief time there.
Drew explained this to them to which Diana understood "I'm not just going to run off Drew. I'm a big girl." Diana said.
Drew raised an eyebrow "The same big girl that Epona caught messing with the Taiyou Driver this morning? Or the same one that she found eating ice cream in the middle of the night last night?" He questioned and Diana pouts causing them all to laugh a little.
"Sorry Diana. Your sticking with me. Better safe than sorry...for both of us." Drew said with a small shiver knowing that Epona would do something to them both possibly.
Diana giggles, and takes Drew's hand as the group headed for classes. Many did question why Diana was there, but Drew quickly explained why as even the four angels didn't bother to mess with Drew and Diana.
The day went by fairly quickly, and to the group's surprise when they went to leave the school Epona was there holding some kind of high tech PDA in her hand. She was also glancing around and spotted Drew and his friends along with Diana. She waved at them and the group came over.
Epona gave her little sister a quick hug "You behaved today Diana? No trouble?" Epona asked.
Diana nods "Yep! Drew and his friends were really nice to me." She said as Drew gave his cousin a quick hug.
"Oh right. I don't think I've introduced my friends." He says.
Epona smirked "Yeah, but I believe I've already had the pleasure of meeting Charles." She said.
Charles grinned "Hey Eppy. Nice running into you again." He said, and was then promptly hit with the PDA device as Epona had a look of annoyance on her face.
"Again your not my type, and if you'll ever call me Eppy again no detective will figure out what happened to you." She told him an eyebrow twitching.
Charles nervously chuckles as Drew rolled his eyes "Anyways the girl next to Charles is his sister Minerva." Drew said.
Minerva waved at her "The girl in red in Morgana Ravens, and the one in yellow next to her is her sister Katharine Ravens." She said.
"I actually prefer Kathy." Kathy commented as Epona nods taking note of that.
"The purple girl is our tech genius Francesca Donaldson, but we just call her Frankie." Drew continued.
"Finally the other guy there is Cody Barnes." Drew introduced.
Epona looked them each over and chuckled "Well good to know this town is safe. Then again I should have expected this once I figured out about Drew." She said as the rest were surprised before glancing to Drew.
"You...know about us?" Morgana asked.
Epona raised an eyebrow "I'm a detective remember." She says then sighs going over and grabbing the PDA device she threw at Charles.
"Though this makes things easier. I need to talk to you all right now." Epona then added on and walked out the gate, and the rest followed her to her RV.
=UNIVERSE=
The nine of them all fit comfortable inside the RV as Epona took out a remote "Zero-One engage lock-down protocols." She spoke into it as beeps were heard the doors locking down, light's turned on, and blinds closed along with a few additional things going on.
"Uhh...isn't this a little much?" Charles asked.
Epona shakes her head "Nope. Given what have to discuss this is needed." She said and takes out her PDA fitting it into a slot below the TV as things began to be displayed on the screen.
"So what exactly is this?" Cody asked.
Epona sighed "This is a big problem. You see it's a rift in space time." She started.
Frankie looked at it and understood almost instantly "It's something that was created when someone failed to use a safe method to travel through time. Like the Lore Keeper's TWA's, the Time Force's ships...you get what I mean." Frankie said.
"So someone traveled through time to this point in time. Why?" Morgana asked.
Epona shakes her head "I don't know why, but that's why I came to you all for help. We need to find whoever or whatever came here as well as the time rift." Epona told them all.
"Then we send whatever it is back right? That should close the rift?" Kathy asked.
"That's the general idea. Including if it's some kind of monster." Epona said.
Charles was confused "Okay I get it, but if it's a monster then why send it back? I mean would it be that much a problem if we destroy it here and now?" Charles asked.
Morgana slaps him on the back of the head "Because it wouldn't be our place to destroy something like that. The best we can do is send the monster back to where and when it belongs." Morgana said to him.
Drew then looked to his cousin "Speaking of that you make it sound like this rift is a bigger problem." He said.
"Well it actually depends on how close the time frame is. If it's super close then the actions could either split a timeline or mess with the timeline the rift is connected to." Diana said the rest surprised by how smart the younger girl was.
Epona chuckles then snaps to get their attention "That's actually the concern. This rift is connected to about three years in the future. I know that sounds a long ways away, but time wise that's extremely short." Epona told them all.
"Well then sounds like we need to get..." Morgana started, and then her morpher beeps.
"Everyone there's a situation. We have two monster's downtown, but that's not the strange thing. Just get there, and you'll find out." Macha told them.
The group looked at one another "Diana stay here and monitor things. Hopefully a Legion hasn't decided to team up with your enemies." Epona said.
"Minerva you stay with her." Charles said and the group of teens ran out as Diana went to the computer with Minerva by her side.
=UNIVERSE=
When the group got their there was two monsters like Macha told them, but to their surprise the two monster's were fighting one another.
The first monster was a humanoid robotic dragon with pearl white armor, black under body, large mechanical wings, and had three sets of Link Joker energy rings on each arm. This was Infinite.
The second monster wore pitch black knight armor with deep purple on the chest and golden trimming and accents. A long purple cape trailed from the shoulders, and a large demonic sword was gripped in his hand. The helmet was shaped like a crown with a face plate covering most of his face except for blue eyes void of any emotion. On the shoulder in a deep red was a stylized 100.
Infinite shot a burst of energy at the black knight who used his cape to block like a shield "Is that a one of Grima's demon legion?" Morgana asked.
"No. No it's not, but that's not exactly going to stop us." Epona said as she brought out a total of three flash drives that being her main, and two smaller add on while her Driver appeared around her waist. The first of the add on drives was a deep blue with golden crescent's on it. The second is a white reflective flash drive with two diamond designs exactly the same etched on it.
++CRESCENT DRIVE, SET!++
++MIRAGE DRIVE, SET!++
++DIVINITY DRIVE! LOCKED IN!++
The group looked at one another before nodding to themselves following her example as a heavy rock theme now started to play from the Taiyou Driver.
++READY!++
++SET!++
"Zeroth Change!/Dragon Ascent!/Henshin!" The group of seven called out.
While the group had remained the same Kamen Rider Megami had gone through quite the change. The red was switched out for a deep blue as the metal obi was much slimmer, and the sun symbols on it was replaced with moons. There was long crescent blades attached to the arm guards, and both sides of the legs while the eyes turned a teal color.
"Time to shine! Kamen Rider Megami C, Ready!" She declared.
The group of seven ran out as they were about to divide, but saw how the second monster cut right through Infinite destroying him, and they all stopped.
"Hmph...that was a pathetic excuse of a fight." the creature's male gravely voice spoke then turned to them then seemed to scan them over stopping at one of the rangers confused.
The creature then regained it's bearings "The infamous Universe Rangers, and Kamen Rider Megami. I had a feeling I would run into you here." He greeted.
He the raised his blade pointing it at them "Yet I suggest you back down. I have not the time or the patience to deal with the five of you." He added on.
Charles then stepped up blasters ready "Well then your just going to have to make time." He said.
The monster huffed "You have no clue who I am. I am General Gratos of the Hundred Demons. Most of you are over your head." He said and snapped his fingers sending as an invisible force threw back many of the other's minus Morgana, and Megami C. The rest were trapped inside a force field.
"Though if I must fight I'll handle you both." Gratos said.
"Bring it." Morgana said simply as her and Megami C charged in.
[Insert Song: Sanmi Ittai preformed by Little Blue boX]
Morgana swung her flaming katana's which Gratos easily blocked each swing, and retaliated swinging his large blade one handed.
Megami C blocked kick with her leg the blade stopping it before she kicked with her other leg and propelled herself backwards.
Gratos concentrated power into his hand creating an orb of dark energy and threw it out which it quickly expanded.
The two barely managed to dodge it and the explosion that happened not long after. Before either knew it Gratos was in front of Morgana and hits her in the stomach on the blunt side before then slicing across the chest.
Morgana stumbled back as second's later Megami C charged and taps the right sun three times.
++MIRAGE X3!++
Three copies of Megami C appeared next to her two charged straight forward and the other two jumped and propel themselves forward to try and kick Gratos.
Gratos grabbed one of the mirages which were solid, and slammed it into one which turned to stardust, and then flung it at the other two.
The two copies became stardust as the real Megami C fell to the ground.
Gratos turned away from them "If you aren't going to take me seriously I have other things to attend to. I must find the emblem." He said.
[Insert Song Pause]
"Not if I got something to say about that Gratos!" A female shouted from on top of a building this gaining said monster's attention as well as the other's who all looked up. Yet with the sun shining all they could make out was a black silhouette of a female yet Gratos knew exactly who it was.
"You! Should have known you would follow after me." Gratos said.
The female huffed "Of course I would. Got to stop you from collecting the emblems." She said.
She then brought out a small card they could make out clearing it was red with a shield on it that was half red, half green, and on it there was a yellow-gold dragon body, wings outstretched, and the head that looked to be letting out a roar. Below the shield was a sword and lance crossing each other.
The girl seemed to insert it into something on her wrist.
++XROSS LOCK++
The girl then jumped from the building surprising them "Xross Up!" The girl shouts before hitting the ground which dust went every direction eventually clearing away.
When it clear a female ranger was now standing in front of them. She wore a full black body suit with the same symbol on the card on her chest outlined in gold. There was red going down the arms, shoulders, around the neck, and down the legs. On her arms was a set of short red gloves held in place by two gold x shaped rings, and she wore short red boots with the same two x shaped rings. She had a red helmet with yellow gold accents and a black curved visor. She wielded a large blade that curved back at the end with sharp golden edges, and hilt while the rest was gray with a white lines running along the inner part of the blade and a blue flame like tip.
The group was surprised at the appearance of this new ranger as Gratos seemed annoyed.
The mysterious red held her blade one handed "Xross Force Red! Ready!" She declared.
[Insert Song Resume]
Xross Red and Gratos looked at one another "Let the Games Begin!" She called out and ran right at Gratos and jumped swinging her blade. Gratos blocked it as Xross Red landed and starting pushing back.
Morgana and Megami C started getting up "Wow. Another ranger, but I don't recall there being another team nearby except for our friends in Asherton." Morgana said.
Megami C shakes her head regaining her bearings "She must have come through the rift. She and Gratos seem to know one another so easy to assume their enemy's." She stated.
Xross Red was pushed back, but she quickly charged back in "Hey don't just be leaving me to do this alone. I could use a bit of help you know." Xross Red called back to them.
This got their attention as both went in to help as Morgana turned back to her normal calling upon her thunder blade. The two large blades clashed with Gratos, and Megami jumped started delivering several kicks to the before doing a back-flip kicking him in the chin as she landed back on the ground with Gratos stumbling back.
Gratos growled and then chants covering himself in a deep purple aura. He swung his sword sending out a wave of dark energy that would hit them all. Xross Red got in the way and focused the blade briefly shined gold and she swung it sending out a wave of powerful energy the two colliding and vanishing on impact as they cancelled each other out.
"You still know that you cannot defeat me." Gratos said.
Xross Red huffed "Yeah that's true, but I'm getting awfully close Gratos." She retorts and swings her blade again as the two clashed.
Morgana came in to assist "So...you with him? By that I mean you both came through the rift?" Morgana asked.
"Yeah. He came back this far to get his hands on something he shouldn't." Xross Red said to her.
Megami C kicked Gratos leg "Well then you've got our help. Do you know where the rift is?" She asked.
Xross Red nods to them "It's extremely close." She says and slashes Gratos before using her blade to point at a nearby building to which they noticed a small hole that was distorting the space around it.
They understood what that meant as Morgana and Megami C went on the offense pushing Gratos back hard and not letting him escape.
++FINAL PHASE!++
The two heard this and separated as Xross Red held her blade up high and it grew 10 times it's size and blue flames had engulfed the blade.
"Deity...Gargantua...Punisher!" She shouts bringing down the blade as it was nearly impossible to dodge, and Gratos shouts as he was forced back through the rift in time.
"Winner: Me!" Xross Red giving a thumbs up.
[Insert Music End]
Xross Red huffs and let's out a sigh of relief as the force-fields came down letting the other ranger's go "Wow. That was amazing!" Kathy said amazed as Charles nods impressed.
Xross Red looked to them "Thanks, but it was really nothing. Though I should get going." she said turning to look at the rift then glanced back to them.
"...Hey you in the red." She then called out to Morgana.
"Huh? Uhh yeah. Something I can help you with?" Morgana asked.
"...No. It's just..." Xross Red started then stops before sighing shaking her head.
"Nothing. Though I got some advice. Take time for what matters outside the suit red." She added on and then jumped through as the rift shrunk and vanished.
This confused the rangers, and they all left turning back to normal. Epona glanced back as they left and let out a sigh though couldn't get rid of this gut feeling as she heard the underlying sadness at having to leave.
"Xross Force huh? Hmm...a lot can happen in three years." Epona thought as she wondered what the future might bring them.
=UNIVERSE=
Life is preserved as one struggle ends.
Yet all is threatened as the unexpected begins.

That's the end of Episode 42 to Universe, and I hope that you enjoyed the sneak peek to my next group of Power Rangers. Now while it is just the red I decided it was best to not introduce their gimmick in this, and much like this fic the Xross Force was inspired by another Bushiroad game. So just to say it now to be safe I do not own Future Card Buddyfight as it belongs to Bushiroad. Anyways until next time this has been your friendly fanfiction writer decode9!
