=XROSSFROCE=
Three days have now passed since the last battle the rangers had making it the middle of the week. At school the group was doing their best to hang out together now, but they also had their own friends and others they hung out with.
Kairi though at the moment was by herself nose stuck in another book. While she did want to get to know the others she was honestly scared, but she still had another concern she was thinking about.
"I know back then I told them I wanted to help, but...am I really right for being a ranger?" Kairi thought to herself.
"I mean was I just in the right place at the right time? Or was this suppose to happen? I know who I use to be, but does it really matter?" She then thought to herself as she considered her apparent past life as the leader of the Electrodeities of Katana World, and trying to understand why she was made a ranger.
Also that outburst that Vic had a few days ago made her still a bit scared to spend time around the blue ranger, but she could still somehow manage. Someone cleared there throat and Kairi looked up seeing someone, but was unable to make out there appearance except saw there red clad outfit.
"Excuse me, but do you know where the head mistress is? I kind of have some paper work to deliver to her." The person said their voice female, and Kairi recognized it now as the red clad girl who had saved them by distracting the Myriads for the first time.
"Umm...yeah. She should be in the gymnasium about now. She tends to check up on the teachers." Kairi said to her.
"Thanks. Well I guess I'll see you Friday. That's when I'm starting." The red clad girl replied.
"R-Really? Seems a bit odd you'd start at the end of the school week." Kairi says whispering a bit as the red clad girl shrugs.
"Odd things tend to happen to me. So I'm not all that surprised. See you later green girl." The red clad girl replied and walks off as Kairi looks back to her book.
A few minutes later JR and Hayden arrived at the school which they headed right towards Kairi, and Vic came out heading towards her as well "Hey everyone. How's the morning going?" JR asked trying to be nice.
"Going alright. Oh umm...I picked these up from the cafeteria." Vic says holding out a tray filled with different things that was served for breakfast.
Hayden nods grinning "Thanks for the grub Vic." He said as each grabbed a small plate of food from the tray.
JR looked over to Kairi "Umm...what are you reading there Kairi?" She asked.
"Oh umm...it's nothing. Y-You all don't need to worry about what I'm reading." Kairi replied to her holding the book closer to her.
Hayden glanced over to JR "So what have the mentors and Neil been up to? I mean they've looked rather busy for the past few days." Hayden asked as he had a feeling JR knew something about it.
JR chuckles "Wish I could tell you all, but I've been sworn to to keep it a secret for now." She told them.
Hayden huffs "Come on please JR?" Vic asked and JR laughs shaking her head no as Kairi smiles a bit watching how they were all acting.
"Well if you can't tell us then any clue what's up with Judith? I mean I've heard her talking with someone. Can't really pronounce their name, but it seemed important." Hayden then asked.
JR shakes her head as she was unsure who it possibly was "No clue. Though I know what you mean. She's been talking to someone, and it's been really important from how it's sounded." She said.
Kairi bites her lip "Umm...I don't think it's a good idea to be listening in on her like you all have. It might be something personal to her." Kairi tells them.
Vic nods "She's got a point you know. Judith wouldn't like if she learns we were listening in on her." He said agreeing, but Kairi was nervous still a bit around Vic.
"Fine, but I just don't like it when things are being kept secret. Makes me feel that something is going to happen." Hayden said sighing.
The group then eats their breakfast, and the bell rings signaling classes to begin soon.
Meanwhile away from them Judith was talking with Van using a smaller duplicate of the Xross Morphers that acted like communicators for herself, Van, and Neil.
"The Red Dragon World card is really reacting?" She asked Van.
"Yes, but I'm having trouble using it to narrow down who it belongs to. Though I may have an idea why." He told her.
"So what is it?" Judith asked him.
"It might have to do with who the reincarnation is that it's suppose to go to. In all worlds their existed a roaming dragon known as the Deity of Combat." He started.
Judith felt something like a suppressed memory or a memory belonging to her old self surface showing an image of a humanoid dragon in white and blue with golden blades and green eyes looking at her.
"Gargantua Dragon." Judith said.
"...Indeed. You see Gargantua Dragon or just Garga to those that knew him well belonged to none of the parallel worlds, but he also belonged to all of them. He sought to become stronger through combat, and could adapt to wherever he went." He continued to explain.
"So he had to power to adapt and evolve with whatever world he belonged to. So then why are you having trouble finding who it is?" Judith asked.
"Well because while Garga did his most significant training in Dragon World he possessed power from all the other worlds. That power itself was still attached to his soul so whoever bears his soul has a powerful one with powers from all the parallel worlds." He told her as Judith nodded in understanding.
"And that power is interfering with finding whoever it is?" She asked
"Exactly. Whoever it is though is certainly something. Being the reincarnation of the Deity of Combat fighting while coming naturally might not be the first thing in there nature." He told her.
"Don't worry Van. Whoever it is we'll find them." Judith says to him.
"That's not the only thing. I checked the statue...the Gargantua Punisher has been taken." He said as Judith was confused.
"How? The statue is still there." She says to him.
"I think the statue rebuilt itself after Garga's reincarnation came upon it. The sword responded to it's old masters touch." Van explained.
Judith nods at this, but still didn't quite understand "Well hope we'll manage to find a way to find whoever it is." She says and turns off the communicator and headed towards the first class she was to help that day.
As for Kairi she was tense as the day had been going on as she felt like something was wrong or that someone was watching her. This was soon confirmed as when she got out of class a student shoved her against a locker.
"Now don't say anything. You see Kairi I know about you, and you are going to help me. You see my grades are slipping, and I can't exactly lead my fellow cheer leaders if I'm not allowed to be part of them because of my grades." The girl starts as Kairi whimpers.
"So what your going to do is..." The girl continued then yelps Kairi at the same time felt no one was holding her anymore.
The girl growled "Hey what's the big idea? I was just playing around with my friend." The girl said as Kairi heard a huff, and she turns seeing the red clad girl.
"That looked anything, but friendly. Looked to me like you were threatening green girl here to do your work because your busy dancing around, and worrying about what boys to toy around with instead of doing your work." The red clad girl says as the other girl sputtered.
The red clad girl got up in the others face amethyst eyes glaring as she was face to face with the girl "Do everyone a favor and get over yourself. Plus I might not be starting till Friday, but I'll gladly be given detention for my first day if you continue to mess with her." She says pounding a fist into an open hand.
The girl paled "Y-You wouldn't dare!" She says, and the red clad girl swung her fist stopping millimeters from the girl's nose.
The girl took a few steps back as the red clad girl smirked "I would. So next time I see you missing with green girl here I won't stop like I just did. You hear what I'm saying?" The red clad girl says as the girl nods running away.
Kairi watched this as the red clad girl looked at her and waved before walking off "T-Thank you." Kairi says her voice barely above a whisper.
=XROSSFORCE=
Classes ended as the rangers all teleport to HQ which they dubbed Hanger 3. At the moment they were helping each other out however they can with their homework including Neil.
"Umm...I think you got that one wrong." Neil points out helping JR out with her algebra homework. JR groans and slams her head on the table they were sitting at getting a laugh at almost everyone else.
The group continued for the next few minutes before the alarm went off as Judith went to the monitor, and the holographic map lit up revealing that an attack was going on at the park again.
Judith tapped into the monitors as she decided to see what they were dealing with and sighed "Looks like they're done playing around. We got a genuine monster this time around." She said to them.
Hayden looks at the map "Do you think there is a Emblem at the park?" Hayden asked.
JR shrugs "I don't know, but if they're looking for it there then we should stop them before anything happens." JR told him and then looked to the rest.
"Ready?" She asked them and they nod as each materialized their morpher and take out their cards before inserting them.
++XROSS LOCK!++
"Xross Up!" They all called out morphing, and then teleport out.
At the park the Myriads were being lead by a bulky humanoid dragon like creature who's body was primarily shades of blue and purple while in one claw it held a large razor sharp axe. The stylized 100 could be seen on the bulky chest armor.
The monster slammed it's axe on the ground "Get to work you lazy fools! Find Greed's Emblem!" He shouted as a group of Myriads were operating a set of extra large handheld drills.
The began drilling into the ground, but were soon blasted as the rangers arrived.
"Not to spoil the fun, but I think your violating several city laws." Hayden said to the Myriads and creature.
"The rangers. Greed should have expected as much. You wish to take what belongs to Greed don't you?" the creature named Greed said.
Hayden groans "I don't know if I should fell threatened or annoyed given this things speaking in third person." He spoke to the rest.
"Greed orders you to attack!" Greed shouts at the Myriads as each called out their weapons as Vic fell back to shot the monsters, and Kairi changed her weapon to spear mode.
JR looked to them as she ascended firing off multiple blasts, but failed to notice that Greed was gathering an icy fire in it's mouth. It then breathed it aiming right at JR who was hit, and let's out a scream as she fell.
When she landed she was actually lucky as a streak of blue had grabbed her as her wings vanished "Ugh...thank you Vic." She says, but then looks up surprised seeing that it wasn't Victor.
The ranger that set her down was the Blue Mystic Warrior ranger who let's out a sigh of relief "Got to be a little more careful there rookie." He says to her.
"A-Another Mystic Warrior ranger. Did your magenta tell you about us?" She asked as he shook his head.
"Heard about you on the news. I was just passing through when the attack happened." He said helping JR up. Then he grabs his own axe ready to do battle, and help out the rookie rangers.
He saw the green in trouble, and goes off to help her while JR called to Vic and Hayden to fall in and help with the rest and get to Greed.
Kairi was doing her best to destroy the Myriads, but there was a lot coming at her "Need a hand?" Mystic Blue asked as he chops right through a few getting to her.
"T-Thank you." she says as they manage to regroup with the rest.
"Looks like it's just down to you Greed." JR says.
"Ha! Greed laughs at feeble human's attempt to fight the mighty Greed." It says and throws it's axe like a tomahawk. Mystic Blue got in the way knocking it right back to Greed.
"You good with axe other blue, but Greed is much better." Greed says and throws the axe again which grew in size. It's hands then glowed with energy becoming copies of the axe, and she started throwing the multiple clones of the axe.
This forced the group of five to scatter as when one of the clone axes hit something they froze over, and the clone vanished "Well...a cold shoulder suddenly looks a whole lot warmer." Hayden muttered.
Most of them avoided, but Vic's leg was hit freezing it to the ground where he was hidden. Kairi was nearby trying to knock the ice off of Vic's leg, but was having very little success doing such.
"Don't worry about me. Just handle him Green." Vic says to her.
Reluctant Kairi leaves him and used her morpher like a communicator "Van, Judith, Neil we may have an issue. This monster can freeze things. Gold already lost her wings, and Blue has a leg froze to the ground." she spoke hiding behind a slide.
"I think I have a solution. I-It's something me and Van were working on." Neil spoke.
"Then please send it to us. Also some Myriads are digging into the Earth. They're looking for an Emblem." She added on.
"I have that covered. Looks like the Drives are going to come into use much sooner than expected." Judith spoke.
Kairi came back into view as Neil's next message came through "Everyone I'm sending you the Xross Burner. Should help you with this thing." He spoke as in each rangers hand a slimmed down version of Vic's weapon that was white with red accents, and black hose lines connected to a familiar red colored tube and crystal JR had been putting away days back with Neil.
Kairi pulled the trigger when a clone axe came close to hitting her, and a burst of multiple colored red flames erupted from the nozzle of the Xross Burner destroying the clone.
"Thanks Neil. We'll put them to good use." JR spoke as her and Hayden moved forward melting the axes that were thrown at them, and Mystic Blue followed.
Vic meanwhile was slowly melting the ice on his leg not wanting to potentially hurt himself by the flames made by the pure energy of what powered it. Kairi came over to help him out to quicken the process as she had the feeling their help would be needed quickly.
Greed watched his clone axes get destroyed and growled as he then started breathing ice on the ground which it spread quickly making things much slicker. The rest fell while Mystic Blue steadies himself.
"Haha! Greed laugh at you falling. Greed will win." He says and flies right at Mystic Blue who ducks before sliding across the ice.
JR got up, but was knocked quickly to the ground as Greed returned hitting her with his tail. She slid across the ice, and right into Kairi and Vic who had finally unfroze his leg.
"Gahh!" All three shout as they were now in one big pile.
"This is getting us nowhere." JR says as the three get up trying to stay on the ice.
Kairi glance around trying to get an idea, and looks at all the different angles of things, and get's an idea.
"Gold umm...I have an idea." She says and whispers it to her.
JR then looked to her "You think it will work?" She asked, and Kairi nods before whispering the idea to Vic.
"Everyone scatter!" JR called out, and the group of rangers managed to spread out which Mystic Blue and Hayden got the idea.
"Hey if your so good Greed then why are we still standing? Or right your afraid to fight us head on because we got a little firepower." Hayden taunts.
Greed growled and shoots a beam of ice, but Mystic Blue came from behind striking a wing cutting into it revealing the wings were actually made of ice. Yet Greed could still feel it and howls in pain.
Greed turns and swats at Mystic Blue with his tail throwing him back, but when turned he was punched hard by Hayden and his Plunder Knuckles. Vic began firing both his Shooting Star Rifle, and the Xross Burner as he proceeded forward melting the ice on the ground. As he did this Kairi and JR had managed to get off the icy ground, and was talking with Judith over the communicator.
"So it's actually ready?" JR asked.
"Yes, and while it hasn't actually been tested well...seems like we may not have a choice. You've got to ground it first." Judith instructed them.
"W-We hear you. We'll ground him." Kairi says then both look out to them fighting.
"Take off a wing you guys! We need to ground him before we can finish him!" JR shouted gaining the monsters attention, but served as distraction enough as Vic and Hayden charged the Xross Burner's and then released a stream of powerful blue and white flames at the injured wing. It starts melting, and Greed howled in pain, but Mystic Blue came in and thanks to how fragile the ice wing now was chopped it off.
"You...you humans hurt Greed! GREED KILL HUMANS NOW!" He shouts and began charging up it's breath the temperature around them starting to lowed drastically.
The four all got together, and JR tapped each button on her morpher in sequence causing it to gain a rainbow aura around it.
That rainbow aura extended out, and summoned a large white futuristic gun crossbow like hybrid weapon with cyan glowing lines on the sides. In each rangers hand one of the Drives similar to the ones that powered the Xross Burners appeared matching there color. Above the trigger there was spots to lock in a total of five with a red drive already locked in. Each one locked in there's before taking position. Vic and Hayden supported the sides, Kairi supported up front, and JR was behind the trigger.
"DIE! CALAMITY ICE!" Greed fired off a beam of energy like ice.
"Blaster Xrossbow! Fire!" The four declared together as JR pulled the trigger. The five drives glowed brightly as the cyan lines glowed rainbow, and then a multi colored beam of energy encased in a golden light shot from the nozzle of the bow.
The two attacked struck, but much like an arrow the multi colored gold encased beam pierced the icy energy and struck it's target. Greed let out a howl of pain as he was destroyed.
"Winner: Us!" JR declared grinning under her helmet.
=XROSSFORCE=
The group arrived back at Hanger 3 with Mystic Blue in tow with them "Hey rookie green. What you did back there with the gold rookie was good." Mystic Blue says as he and the rest cancel their morphs.
The blue Mystic Warrior ranger was revealed to be a college aged african american with curly black hair, and blue rounded glasses covering his eyes. He as freckles on his face, and scars on his arms. He was wearing a blue button down shirt with a pair of khakis, and blue and white sneakers.
"So who are you?" JR asked.
Judith came up "Hello Rodney. It's a pleasant surprise to see you." Judith says to Rodney Jenson.
"Hi Judith. A certain purple drake told me you were mentoring a new team so I thought I'd come meet them." Rodney told Judith and Van as Neil was nearby looking over the battle data.
"Well you did more than that." Judith says as she was thankful for the help that was given.
"It's no problem." He replied to Judith.
"So the tech your rangers used recently. Is it from Cray?" Rodney asked curious as Judith nodded to him.
"The Drives are working as expected. The Blaster Xrossbow we made after looking over the blueprints Ahmes sent us of the various Blaster Weapons, and Garmore's most powerful set of glaives." Judith explained to him.
He nods then looks to the rangers "Well it's nice to meet you all. As Judith said my name is Rodney. Rodney Jenson." He introduced, and each of the rangers introduced themselves.
Rodney looked to Kairi and smiles "Hey as I said nice job out there. Your brains helped you a lot, but you still got a ways to go Kairi." He tells her.
Judith looked at the rangers "How about you all finish up your homework. We have a few things to discuss." She says and the group nod deciding to let them be with Neil following after.
When the rangers we out of range Judith then looked to Rodney "Now I know you just weren't here to see our rangers. What's going on?" She asked.
Rodney looked down "I...I was in Milky Way a while back. When I was there I kept getting these...well feelings. It's almost like my memories are trying to make me recall something, but something is stopping it." He said and looked to Judith.
"The purple drake hinted that maybe you would know something." He said as Judith bit her lip.
"Does the name Morgana Ravens ring any bells?" She asked, and Rodney shakes his head.
Judith sighed "Then I'm not so sure if you'd remember." She says.
Rodney thought doubted that as while the name didn't sound familiar it at the same time sounded right. Rodney thought as he felt the name was connected to Isabella, and suddenly a few memories hit him as he recalled Isabella and a girl arguing upon meeting each other.
He then recalled meeting her a few more times even teaming up with her to stop four girls and a spirit.
"W-Wait...I think I'm starting to remember something." He says slowly as Judith grabbed a chair and signaled for him to sit down. Slowly memories started to come to him, and he recalled a big one in particular.
"...Does she remember?" Rodney asked.
Judith nods looking down "She got in touch with me after everything was said and done. She knew that I knew about certain secrets involving the two ranger teams at the time." She says deciding it better not to mention something in particular.
"She also remembers her girlfriend extremely well. She's been helping me with my private research project." She added on.
"Private research project?" Rodney asked.
Judith nods "When that creature appeared after the Universe Ranger defeated King Glendios, and Morgana somehow...erased the creature I don't think she sacrificed her existence." Judith says as Rodney raised an eyebrow.
"Whatever that creature was I think Morgana used her soul to cage the creature before shattering her sould to pieces. I think she exists, but in...pieces..." Judith continued and stopped a thought occurring to her. She then shakes her head throwing that thought away.
"Anyways me and her thought that if we can somehow find these pieces maybe...just maybe we could bring her back." Judith said.
"Are you sure?" Rodney asked.
Judith nods "My research isn't only about her though. It's something a bit more...personal." She say to him.
"Alright, but just be careful as you might find exactly what your looking for." Rodney warned her.
Judith nods "I know, and I am being as careful as I can be." She said.
"I hope you find Morgana." Rodney then says getting up and teleports out.
"You and me both." Judith muttered.
That's it for Episode 5 of Xross Force, and this time around our guest of honor was Rodney Jenson the blue ranger of the Mystic Warriors team. Kairi could, and will likely learn a lot more from him should he appear again. We also got to see what the Crystal Drives or just simply called Drives are used for as they power the new Xross Burner, and there team weapon the Blaster Xrossbow. We also got to see more of the girl in red in this chapter, but I'm still avoiding descriptions as want to still hear your theories. Anyways for now I guess this is it so until the next time this has been your friendly fanfiction author decode9!
