Naitoranger Episode 3:Drop Of Fear

Near Swampia, Luchia System

Everyone was sitting in the dining room of ship,telling funny stories from their lives. What's more,Isamu joined this time and he was laughing sincerely with everyone. It was Miwa's story everyone laughed at.

Isamu:Hahahahahahahaha,I can't believe your uncles Kai and Tsubasa has such complicated relationship that makes everyone laugh.

Miwa:Yes,and uncle Tsubasa accused uncle Kai od his throwing up during that important boxing match because he ate his fish with parmesan before it.But mom told me that was because he ate some burrito from some road-café. Want one more story?

Everyone:Yes!

Miwa:Once my uncle Makito decided to plant seedlings for the winter.Aunt Eriko told him to be careful, but he assured her that everything would be all right. So he shoveled down the pipe and a geyser appeared in the middle of the garden.At least the crop did not need to be watered.

Everyone:HAHAHAHAHAHAhAHAhah!!!!

Daiki:Here's mine.Once my dad and uncle Matoi thought they can fix grandpa Mondo's old van.

Kenshin:Thought?

Daiki:Yes,they overrated their abilities.Their neighbors in hospital chamber thought that too.

Everyone:HaahahhahHAHAHahhahahha!!!!

Herumi:How great it is to share stories.

Everyone agreed. But then Riku walked into room.

Riku:Guys,we had a message that there is monster on nearby planet.

Everyone stopped laughing.

Isamu:Take us there,we'll take care of him.

Ship landed on Swampia and Naitos flew to the place where was monster.

Miwa:Swamp?Why monster decided appears here?

Isamu:According to message it is humanoid frog and the whole planet looks like this...

Miwa:Ugggghhhhh

They reached the place where YamenFrog was shooting his mucilage at everything he saw.

Isamu:Stop it monster!

YamenFrog:Oh,Naitorangers qua!What a not lovely meeting qua.

Herumi:We're not sympathy to see you either.So let's get this over with.

Naitos transformed and started fighting this Frog. It wasn't simple. Frog was really jumpy and used his long tongue to attack. Naitos weren't giving up. But at some point something happened to Miwa. Her hands and legs started shaking,she couldn't hold her weapons properly,shoot water and even stand. She fell on the ground.

Herumi:Miwa,what's wrong with you?

Miwa:I...I...I don't know.All my body...shaking...

YamenFrog:I have no idea what happening qua.But I take it qua.

Frog shoot a big,red,nasty mucilage at Miwa,but Isamu and Kenshin covered her. But they got frozen in giant mucilage that got solid.

Daiki:Isamu!Kenshin!

Herumi:Daiki!We need to retreat!

Daiki and Herumi got their friends and Herumi used her powers to get away.

At the ship Riku was putting tests on Miwa to find out what happened to her. During that time Esu and Biti were sad about Isamu and Kenshin.

Esu:Give that sticky frog,I'll strung it with it's own tongue!

Biti:Hold it,this monster already caused us troubles.Two heroes are unable two fight now and another one has problems we can't understand.

Miwa:Ohhhh,Isamu and Kenshin are frozen and it's all my fault...

Daiki:Don't blame yourself.Instead of them you could be frozen.They didn't want that to happen.

Miwa:But if I received the blow,you could beat him.Now only you two can fight.

Herumi:Calm down.In classical Super Sentai scenario when monster made someone unable to fight,all needed to be done is beat that monster.

Riku:I can't find anything wrong with Miwa.Everything seems to be normal.But there's gotta be reason...I know what to do!

Riku lest and came back with candles,bong and some bottle.

Esu:What all these for?You're gonna do dancing?

Riku:No,I have an idea.Miwa need to drink this bottle,lay down on table,and some old song of my ancestors and smell of candles will help Miwa.It will make her body find answer itself.

Esu:Will it work?

Daiki:We need to try and trust Riku.He seems to know what he's doing.

Riku organized everything and Miwa did everything he said. Riku began his ritual. At this time alarmed rang. Monster appeared again. Daiki and Herumi decided to fight it by themselves while Riku helping Miwa.

Riku was still singing his song which no one could understand. Miwa started to feel that was falling asleep. Flashbacks started to appear before her. Those were moments from her live on Earth. There was moment when her mother was telling her about courage. Moment when she had to perform on school play,but had stage fright,but still managed to perform. Moment when she with family went on hiking and her father fell of the cliff,but she saved him. Then she woke up and told Riku everything.

Riku:Just as I expected

Miwa:What is that?

Riku:It's called StratoMondrage.Miwa,you're just afraid.I guess you never left home so far away for unknown period of time.StratoMondrage is condition when someone's rising fears makes a brain throw components in such combination that it paralyzes the mucles.

Miwa:Wow,I didn't expect to have cosmic illness.

Riku:Miwa,that is not illness.Fears in open space can be realized in a different way.But here's one thing.You may be afraid of leaving home.Look at Isamu.I never saw him so smiling.If you can be a family for him,they can be a family for you.

Miwa:Yes...I realize now...I have a new family...and my two family members are fighting for my sake!I gotta go.Thank you so muc,Riku!

Riku:You're welcome.Go and show everyone your true courage.

Miwa left and hurried to help her friends. She got in the middle of the fight.

Miwa:Enough,monster!This time my hands won't shake to destroy you!

Daiki and Herumi:Miwa...

YamenFrog:Bring it on,you annoying girl,qua.

Miwa:Maybe I am annoying girl,but you just silly reptile who don't know when give up.(No wonder my mom afraid of frogs)

So the fight started and this time Miwa wasn't holding back. She was using her maximum. And time for final attack has come.

Three Naitos:Storm Natick

Three united their powers and threw them at this frog.

Frog:Losing to you is more annoying then catching a fly!...

Then it blew up. And went giant. But Isamu and Kenshin arrived.

Miwa:Isamu,Kenshin,you're alright!

Isamu:Yeah,we were freed after you defeated the monster.

Kenshin:Now we are good to go.

Isamu commanded to call the mechas and combine into NaitoKing. Everyone followed and fight started. Even though frog was tricky,Naitos still managed to defeat it. After everything was over,Miwa told everyone about her condition.

Miwa:I'm so sorry I messed up today.I collapsed because of my fear.Looks like I'm not brave enough to be a warrior.

Isamu:Don't say like that.You're absolutely perfect to be a warrior.Brave one is not who has no fears,it is one who is not afraid to face them.Any of us could be on your place.Right guys?

Everyone noted.

Isamu:Miwa...and everyone else...Hear my promise...I personally control that you return back home in safety and your parents will be proud of you!I promise!

Everyone smiled and hugged,while Riku,Esu and Biti were crying watching all this on ship monitor.

Esu:They are so cute together!...
