At a cocktail lounge, Corvus and Kou were at the bar portion of the lounge with Corvus pouring himself a glass of whiskey. He took a sip of his drink then said,"You want a drink Kou?"
"Īe, o sake wa nomimasen.",Kou said while sitting at the bar. (Translation: No, I don't drink alcohol.)
Corvus simply shrugged and put away the bottle of whiskey he had. He sipped from his drink before noticing that Xiya had entered the lounge. Corvus chuckled,"Back from your excursion already Xiya? Did they not give you the fight you wished for."
"Shut up, I didn't get the chance to fight them.",Xiya said angrily. Corvus and Kou became intrigued as Xiya sat down.
"You didn't get the chance to? How so?",Corvus asked.
"Because I was pulled aside by someone.",Xiya said with a somewhat fearful tone beginning to appear on her face.
"Dare ga anata o waki ni hippatta nodesu ka?"Kou asked. (Translation: Who pulled you aside?)
Xiya swallowed nervously then she said in a fearful tone,"Ginza did."
"Ginza, why would he be here?",Corvus questioned while sipping his drink.
Xiya had a fearful expression on her face and she remained silent as her hands began to shake.
Two days later at Casey's College, she was exiting a lecture hall looking completely tired when she came across Paul B as he was fixing a door handle. He looked up from his work and said with a smile,"Hey Casey, how was class?"
"Long and boring. If you need me, I'll be in our dorm sleeping the rest of the day."Casey said, yawning during the last portion.
"Oh, that can't happen actually. Ben called and he wants us to go to his place to discuss Daggon."Paul B said apologetically. Casey stared at Paul B then her head dropped while she grimaced. Paul B patted her on the head and Casey moved closer to him.
Half an hour later, Casey and Paul B had made their way to Ben's home and were at the door waiting to be let in. Casey now had sunglasses on and a cup of coffee in her hand. Paul B put his hands in his pockets then he looked at Casey and asked,"Are you awake yet?"
"Give me a few more sips and I will be."Casey commented before taking a sip of her coffee. Ben opened the door saying,"Oh good, now everyone is here."
Casey and Paul B entered the home and Ben closed the door. He then led the two further into the house while saying,"So today, you all are going to be helping our newest member acclimate to living in a city."
The three came into the livingroom to see Daggon looking at a framed picture, his mask being pushed up. He then looked at Jason and said,"Oi brave sun, there are people in this thing."
"That's a picture frame buddy. There aren't actually people in there.",Jason said, taking the framed picture from Daggon and putting it back. Daggon nodded then he began sniffing the air while moving towards Casey. He sniffed her then asked,"What's that thing in your hand?"
"It's coffee.",Casey said in a somewhat deadpan tone.
"Caw fee, what's that?",Daggon asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It's a drink that helps me stay awake when tired. You want to try it?"
Daggon took the cup from Casey and took a sip of it before spitting it out onto Axis, who was sitting close by. Axis glared at Daggon then said,"You couldn't have aimed somewhere else?"
"Blah! This is gross! You tried to poison me!",Daggon yelled while pointing at Casey.
"No she didn't Daggon. You just don't like the taste.",Jason said, giving Casey her coffee back and leading Daggon over to a chair. Paul B looked at Ben while saying,"Are you sure we should be doing this?"
"Yes I am. This is a great way for you five to become a better team while also getting you all acquainted with Daggon.",Ben said while putting an arm around Paul and Casey's shoulders. Paul B and Casey looked at one another then at Daggon, who was intently looking at his own reflection.
Ten minutes later, The Phantomrangers were in a train as it was traveling downtown. Daggon was moving around the car, cackling like an excited child as he looked out the window. Axis glanced at Daggon then he looked at Kizu and said,"It's like dealing with a crazed kid."
"Axey-chan, don't be so mean.",Kizu said, causing Axis to nod.
"He's not wrong really. Daggon, from what Jason says and from what he tells us and how he acts, has the mind of a kid. He may be around our age but he grew up in a jungle so he never learned anything that we all know.",Casey said, glancing at Daggon.
"Shikashi, Daggon-san is our teammate and we shouldn't treat him any differently.",Kizu said with a hopeful smile.
"Exactly what I was thinking, Kizu. Besides, we fought alongside him the other day and he wants to fight Specters so we know he's a good guy.",Paul B said with his usual smile.
"Of course you'd need very little to find a reason to be someone's friend."Casey joked while playfully pushing Paul B. Paul B, Casey, Kizu, and Axis then looked to where Daggon was to see that he had taken off his mask and was now hanging out the window of the train with Jason trying to pull him back on.
"Oh crap!",Paul B exclaimed as he and Axis went to help Jason.
"Daggon, get back in here!",Jason said, struggling to keep Daggon from climbing completely out the window.
"Ha ha ha! It's going so fast! Brave sun, you need to see this!",Daggon exclaimed happily while being unbothered by how fast the train was going. He was subsequently yanked back into the train by Axis and Paul B while Jason closed the window.
"Oi, Brave Sun. This metal worm is going very fast. I think I can outrun it, ha ha ha!",Daggon cackled, his crazed smile being unnerving to everyone.
"No No, Daggon, that would be a bad idea.",Jason said, catching his breath.
"Why? I have to show this beast that I am king!"
"This isn't a beast dude. It's a train.",Axis said in a stern tone. Daggon looked at Axis then he raised an eyebrow. He then stood on one of the seats and said,"You're big, one eye. How?"
"I don't know. I just hit a growth spurt when I was like sixteen.",Axis said with a shrug.
"Growth spurt? Hmm, I will find this growth spurt and kill it so I can be big like you!",Daggon said with his crazed smile before cackling. Axis became annoyed and he reached up to choke Daggon but Kizu came up to him and put his hands down while saying,"Axey-chan."
Daggon looked in between Axis and Kizu, causing them to look at him, then he put his hand on Kizu's chest. He then touched Kizu's hair before doing the same to Axis. Jason, Paul B and Casey gained confused expressions then Casey asked,"Daggon, what are you doing?"
Daggon didn't answer the question, keeping his attention on Kizu and Axis. He then nodded before saying,"You both are men but you wish to mate?"
Kizu and Axis let out surprised yells with Kizu blushing intensely.
Daggon put his hands up,"It is okay. When you find a mate, you can't help but want them even if they can't give you cubs."
Daggon put his hands on Kizu's shoulders and moved him so he was beside Axis then he said with a confident smirk,"I think you both make great mates for each other. Though I think peach hair will need to get stronger before you are able to do anything."
Axis clenched his hand into a fist while Kizu pouted while saying,"My hair is pink."
"Shush, peach hair, you and one eye need to be together.",Daggon said while putting his mask on and walking away. Axis' eye showed anger and he was about to move towards Daggon but was stopped by Kizu, who hugged him and tried to not show his intense blush by burying his face in Axis' chest.
Paul B, Jason and Casey just looked at Daggon before they said in unison,"This is gonna be hard."
At the cocktail lounge, the daemons were formulating a plan when each of them felt a heaviness come over them. Xiya's face showed fear and she said through a shaky voice,"He's here."
Corvus, Kou and Xiya looked towards the door as they heard it open, seeing a muscular man walk through it.. This muscular man had blue skin with yellow electricity like markings all over his torso, long wavy black hair, and piercing red eyes. This man wore a pair of black shorts that had gold trimming, brown boots that stopped just below his knees, black fingerless gloves that had dull golden spikes on the knuckles and went to half his forearm while his torso was naked save for a brown pauldron on his right shoulder.
"Ginza,"Corvus said with a fearful tone. He then cleared his throat and stood up while saying,"What brings you here, my blue skinned comrade."
"I am here to see how your progress in making Daemons is going. From what I have seen, it has stagnated.",Ginza said, his voice being very deep.
Corvus let out a fearful laugh then he cleared his throat and said,"Well, the reason behind this is a pesky group of humans called the Phantomrangers."
Ginza raised an eyebrow at this which caused Corvus to sit down and stay silent. Ginza walked towards the three daemons while saying,"I know of the Phantomrangers. I still see them as nothing more than a nuisance which you all can easily distract while still accomplishing our goal."
"Easy for you to say.",Xiya commented under her breath. Ginza glared at Xiya, causing her to cower and look away from him.
"Mōshiwakegozaimasen. Watashitachi ni nani o shite moraimasu ka?",Kou said. (Translation: We're sorry. What would you have us do?)
"It matters not what I want, only what our Lord Xykor wants.",Ginza said.
"That doesn't help us at all.",Xiya remarked. Ginza quickly hauled Xiya into the air by her neck, scowling at her and saying in an angered tone,"You dare question our Lord's will?"
"No, no I don't.",Xiya quickly said while flailing her legs and trying to get out of Ginza's grip. Ginza let go of Xiya, causing her to hit the ground with a thud, then he looked down at her and said,"I suggest you keep it that way."
Ginza then turned on his heel and walked towards the exit while saying,"Kou, come with me."
"Hai, Ginza-san.",Kou fearfully said while following the blue skinned man.
