At the Hundreds Castle the remaining five general's were all gathered as Vanity appeared in a burst of darkness in her ranger form "I believe I'm finally able to deliever to you." She says throwing a silver card bearing the Hundred Demon's sigil.
One of the general's caught it "Finally. The fact it's our own means we can regain more of our power." The general spoke.
The card glowed before turning a pitch black and silver as the general's glowed "Ahh...finally." Another spoke before turning towards Vanity.
"Now I believe we can keep our end of the bargain. We finished giving your allies appropriate forms to aid you in this world." The second figure told her and she nods.
"Excellent. How goes your plans to find those compatiable with the Rouge Flags?" Vanity asked.
The fifth figure tapped a holographic screen a few times bringing up a picture "This girl has a high synchronization rate with our power. We also found one's for three other flags with just as high a rate." The fifth explained.
"Good. Because if my quartet fails to handle the rangers they will be needed." Vanity spoke, and the figure's nod.
"We'll send someone out to grab the candidates." The four figure spoke as a growl is heard as two creatures came out.
There was a growl from one of the creatures "Befoe you send them out allow us a chance general's I have a bone to pick with those rangers." One growled as the second let out a series of hisses and hums.
"Glasya, Zazamera. Hmm...Fine. You have this chance, but don't return unless you find an Emblem or destroy the rangers." The first figure instructed.
The figures nod as they both vanished and Vanity huffed "I wouldn't count on either of them, but I suppose the chaos of either of them gives enough time for you to gather the target's." Vanity told them and she herself vanished.
The figures nod as one steps up "I will get the four we need. Don't argue." He says and then figure vanished.

A new day rose in Aibo City as in H3, and the ranger in there training gear were running there routines with Natalie just getting into it. She was currently practicing with the Xross Burner, and she was finding out just how lucky they got the other day.
"Seriously. Controlling this is pretty difficult." She muttered.
Vic nearby shakes his head "Nah. Your just not use to it." He commented a bit nervous around the new girl.
"He's got a point even if he's sometimes a damn idiot." Hayden commented as he practiced with the Xross Binder, but was unable to get it to wrap around the wooden log that served as a target.
Kairi sighed "Hayden-san please watch the language." She says and then walked over to Natalie.
"Let me help you Natalie-san. It might be that it's settings are wrong." Natalie says taking it from her and check it before nodding.
"Yep. Our sensei's sometimes do this to test us. Just need to bring it down a little." Kairi says showing her.
Natalie nods "Thanks Kairi. Guess I need to get into the habit to check the gear I use." She says.
Judith and Van watched from a distance "Looks like she's fitting in just well." Van said.
Judith nods "Yeah. So you said you found something?" Judith asked, and Van nods typing away at his labtop and bringing up an auction website.
"I've been scouring for any signs of the Emblems or the other Flags, and well...I found these on here." He says and brings up a picture of the star attraction of this particular auction. It was two large stone tablets with symbols engraved on them.
"Are those..." Judith started, and Van nods.
"Flags. I'm sure of it." He said.
Judith glanced towards the kids "Should we inform them?" She asked.
"Not this time. They can't exactly go in and get them. That's why...I think you should handle this particular job." Van said.
"What?!" Judith exclaimed and the five almost heard her. Neil looked over seeing Judith's panicked expression, but Van just waves him off to continue the training.
"Why me? I mean I don't exactly have the money to..." She started as Van held a hand up.
"Your sister agreed to cover for you, and she even said a few of her friends would be there to help." Van explained.
Judith sighed "Fine, but what about if monsters show up? I mean I've been training to as a precaution, but I'm not exactly..." She started again and Van raised an eyebrow.
"You are the reborn form of one of the many superheroines to bear the name Frill, Judith. I believe your capable of using the blue morpher." He says and Judith rubbed her head.
"Speaking off I wanted to show you something that was finally completed." Van added on taking her out of the room and into the room they stored the Drives and the other devices.
He grabbed a small suitcase stored in a small locker and set it down on the table in the room before opening it. Inside of it she would see a total of six devices in the case five of which were exactly the same while the sixth device was different.
The first five devices were certainly the new morphers yet were a bit different from the previous model outside of being wrist mounted. They were a pure white hexagon that was slender and longer in length a card slot located on the side. There was also buttons located on the side of the top section, and each morpher bore a particular emblem indicating just who it was meant for. The device could even fold out revealing a small screen and keyboard for messaging purposes.
The sixth was a jet black V shaped phone like device with crimson lining on the sides of the top and the team's emblem (a flag featuring two gold X's crossing one another with) stamped in a brilliant gold on the front.
Judith looked at them in surprise before smiling letting out a sigh "The new Xross Morphers." She says before looking at the sixth device.
"And umm...what is this?" Judith asked raising an eyebrow at Van.
"That's the God Evolution Morpher. Or I simply called it the G-Evo Morpher. It's really only for Kathy's use as well..." Van rubbed his head and sighed.
"You see Garga commanded so many different weapons, powers, and forms from the different parallel worlds I believe Kathy will find it difficult to command her power the stronger she becomes. So...this morpher is meant to be used in conjuction with the red morpher to allow her access to said abilities without hurting her." Van explained.
"I see...well at least you were thinking ahead." Judith says grabbing the morpher bearing the Hero World emblem. Van then handed her the Hero World flag.
"Just in case things get dicey." He says, and Judith nods before walking off hopeful that her help will be good.

Judith arrived at her destination, and glanced around before she was tapped on the shoulder. Jumping and turning around she let out a sigh before glaring "Don't scare me like that you guys!" Judith says sternly looking at her three guests.
"Sorry Judith. Couldn't help it." Amy says and the two high five before hugging.
Rodney hugged her next "Good to see you Judith." He greets.
Charles just pats her shoulder "Same. Not working yourself to hard Judith?" Charles asked.
"I've been fine. So...umm...shall we go in?" She asked, and the three nod heading in.
For the next half hour the group talked among one another catching up and waiting for the auction to begin. When it finally did a hour quickly passed as many items were auctioned off, but none the items they were waiting for.
"Was he sure they are being auctioned here?" Amy asked, and Judith nods frowning.
"They should be. Unless there has been a robbery in the last few hours that hasn't been reported." She replied.
Charles calmly sighed "Relax. They're here." He says as Rodney looked at him.
"So...you still looking for her to?" Rodney asked in a whisper.
Charles nods looking to the floor "Minerva has been missing for a long time now...where is that girl?" Charles says worried, but knew it wasn't as bad as how Kathy had taken it. Minerva had vanished not all that long after they're final battle without a note or hint of what was going on.
Before more could be said the auctioneer called out the next item revealing the two stone tablets.
"Right on time." Rodney says in a whisper, and the betting began. The prices got quite high, and quite suddenly the ground began shaking.
People ran and started evacuating as the Myriads and Millions started coming in.
"Well figured this would happen." Charles said.
The others nod and they evacuate as well, and just in time as the building collapsed in on itself.
"Yeah this looks like the works of a monster. Time to get to work I suppose." Charles said taking out his Universe Key and Universe Morpher V2.
Like the original the V2 Morphers were wristed mounted, but appeared quite different as they looked like sleek red furturistic gun with a black nozzle, and trigger while the front parts of the nozzle was orange. They're emblem was worked on to the top and a section of the star was lifted up and hollowed out meant for the Universe Keys. Their was a few buttons located near the emblem for the different functions.
"Mystic Warriors, Power Rangers!" Amy and Rodney called out morphing.
++READY!++
++SET!++
"Star Change!" Charles called out.
++XROSS LOCK++
"Xross Up!" Judith called out.
Like with Natalie and Neil, Judith's blue ranger form was quite different than that of Vic's. Part of the bodysuit from the neckline down to the waist was a deep blue and resembled a sailors uniform even the skirt was a bit shorter having a orange trim along the bottom, as well as around the neck. Her gloves and high heeled boots were a brilliant dark orange and lines of the same color ran from the shoulder to the arms. Her helmet had rounded white and orange sensors sticking out of the sides with a small metal piece going between the two sensors making it look like a maids cap.
Judith waisted no time in calling upon the Xross Drill and digging into the rubble making an entrance for them to go in.
"You think everyone made it out?" Amy asked as they got in.
"Hopefully, but just in case..." Charles started before there was a screeching like sound and he was tackled by something huge, tube like, and angry.
Before anyone would react the rest were hit to, but from behind by something else.
"Hahaha. Got you rang...wait your not the one's I'm looking for!" the voice growled and they got up.
The first of the two was a large blue wolf like creature on all fours with familiar looking bracelets on all it's limbs and neck. The second creature was a crimson scaled worm with multiple smaller worms splintered off of it's sides.
"Labolas?" Judith questioned surprised just looking at the large wolf like creature who growled.
"The name is Glasya. Labolas was my older brother ranger." He growled as the worm hisses and makes other noises.
"Right Zazamera. Enough talk. Not who we're looking for, but they'll make excellent trophies." He spoke and lunged at them while the worm dug underground.
Charles dodged as Amy attempted to strike the wolf with her weapon. Yet he jumped away and landed on Rodney who kicked him off and rolled away.
The four regrouped and prepared to engage them yet again.
=XROSSFORCE=
In the past JR and Kathy wandered about and heard people were screaming and running for there lives.
"A monster attack?" JR asked, and Kathy nods.
"Yeah. If I recall this was the day we fought Reverse Cradle." Kathy said.
It was then there was a beeping noise, and she brought out her old morpher that she still had on her "Rangers trouble at Sol Academy. We have a monster rampaging. Get their ASAP, and I'll get in touch with Morgana." a female voice spoke.
"Ahsha." Kathy muttered as JR looked at her a bit surprised.
"Ahsha? As in Cray's Princess of the Fields?" JR asked her, and she nods.
"Yeah. She was one of my mentors alongside Macha. At least...I think so." Kathy said unsure of herself as she didn't know if she could trust her memories.
In the distance the two saw a large machine attacking what very likely was the school.
JR sighs "Wish we could help." She muttered.
"Yeah. I wish we could to..." Kathy said with a sigh.
It was then that Kathy and JR took note of a small group of Vanishers, Elites, and something else working there way towards the back side of the school.
Kathy frowned, and not thinking she followed after them with JR following right behind her. The two followed and saw they were heading towards the little know back entrance to the school.
Leading the charge was a familiar face to Kathy. It was a tall muscular red scaled dragon with long gold horns, and had cybernetic like implants in his hands and legs. Attached to his back was a set of large gold sabers cracking with yellow and black lightning. He just seemed to be observing the fight that was going on.
"V-Saber...what is he doing here?" Kathy asked confused.
JR though quickly figured it out though "He's going to ambush past you and the rest. Once that thing is beat you'll all be sitting ducks because you'll be tired." He says.
Kathy's eyes widen "But...but that never happened!" She muttered confused as JR looks at her.
"Maybe because someone stopped it?" She suggested making a gesture towards themselves and then to the group.
"You realize we'll be going in without our morphers?" Kathy asked, and JR nods.
"Yeah I know. But I think we got a few weapons." She replied signaling towards Kathy's old Universe Morpher.
Looking at it she sighed "Alright. Here goes nothing." Kathy says calling forth the weapons from her old morpher. She handed the black sword of determination to JR as she felt JR might be more comfortable with it.
"This is Blaster Dark. It's a bit heavy, and it's a Blaster weapon from Cray. The stronger the determination the better it will respond to you." Kathy explained, and JR takes it nodding in understanding.
As for herself the white and blue blade of light Blaster Blade materializes in her hand. She looks at JR and the two nod in understanding and getting themselves ready to go.
Kathy sucks in a breath and walks out "You know I didn't think I'd see this version of you ever again." she says with as much confidence as she could muster.
JR came out right beside her as V-Saber, Vanishers, and Elites turn to the duo "And just who are you..." He started before seeing the blades they were holding.
Kathy smirks "That's for us to know, and you to figure out later...much later." She tells V-Saber and the two get into a fighting stance.
"Now then we can't let you do whatever it is your planning." Kathy added on.
JR nods in agreement "So if you want to get to them you got to get past us." She says.
V-Saber lets out a low growl before looking to the minions "Kill them." He instructs and they charge at the two.
And that's all for Episode 14 of Xross Force. Now then honestly I love the brand new Xross Morpher's as they aren't just block like as the original's. We also got a peek at the secondary morpher that Kathy will eventually get upon her and JR's return. Now I will say I myself highly enjoyed writing in Judith and the veterans going in after two or more possible flags, and Judith showing half of her ranger form. The battle in the past I drew upon the fact that there had to have been more going on in the past, and some things were prevented from happening because those two were there. Battles will conclude next chapter, and we'll see what else happens in both time periods. Now then until the next time this has been your friendly Fictionpress and Fanfiction author decode9!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!
