Act 1 The next day arrived, the five strangers met again in an abandoned shop. Kai and Hayate Fuuto, the brothers who just arrived in Tokyo, after receiving a letter telling them to come there. Ushio was the energetic man that the brothers met at the train station. Mirai was a woman that seemed to be just going along with everything. Hanaya was a woman with shorter brown hair and she wanted answers. They all seemed to have one thing in common; the same Brace that allowed them to transform into rangers. _
Act 2 Ushio was the first one to arrive, the door magically opened up right in front of him. Not knowing what he was going to find inside, Ushio just walked in cautiously. Kai and Hayate also soon arrived at the shop, as the door magically opened in front of them, too, both of them walked into the building as well.
The brothers noticed Ushio as they sat down near him, wanting some answers. Kai looked directly at Ushio as he asked him, "You again, what are you doing here?"
Ushio responded with, "Yes, me again. And, well, someone sent me this message and told me to come here. I also want some answers for..." As Ushio stopped his sentence midway, he held up the brace.
Hayate immediately took notice of it as he responded with, "We actually got a letter about coming here too, since we're here for answers for whatever this thing is.." Also holding up his brace.
Meanwhile a few minutes prior, Hanaya and Mirai meet up at a cafe to talk. Hanaya then opened her phone, showing Mirai a text she got the day before.
As Mirai got a look at the message, she commented, "Huh, weird. I got that same text, do you think we should go?"
Hanaya thought about it for a minute, before looking up and responding, "We should, but only to get answers, that's all."
Mirai agreed with Hanaya as they both got up and a few minutes later, arrived at the shop.
This is one of the many buildings that were abandoned during the famine period, even though Tokyo was the least affected by it.
The door magically opened in front of them. Mirai hugging Hanaya's arm as they both walked in slowly and the door shut behind them. A bit scared, both of them looked around, seeing Ushio and the Fuuto brothers.
Before they could ask the boys, a man in a brown worn out coat and brown fishing hat walks out from the kitchen, as he places a bowl of dumplings on the table.
Kai immediately looked at the guy and asked him, "Who are you, and why are we all here? Did you send us these messages?"
Hayate immediately following that up with, "And what are these?" as he puts his arm up a bit, showing the brace.
"That will be explained in due time, but first I'll answer the question of why you all are here and to do that I'll have to explain how this all even came to be in the first place." The man sat down at the bar, facing the five people as he starts to explain and giving the girls a sign to get a seat.
"Well this all started a few years ago, as the research team I was a part of needed some test subjects for a new procedure that could help solve a lot of problems. So they sent out the word and you two..." He pointed to Kai and Hayate, "Were the first to show up, because your brother couldn't hear..." As Kai nodded, confirming that part of the story, he then pointed directly at Hayate, "You looked at your brother and signed him "I'm scared", as he signed back, "I'll go in with you so that you don't have to".
"Hayate had nodded as you both entered the machine..." Hayate also nodded confirming this part of the story. The next person the main pointed at was Hanaya as he continued on, "You were the next person to arrive, as you had explained to us that you could not taste anything."
Hanaya was a bit freaked out, that he knows all this but she still nods, confirming the story a bit more. "You had then stepped into the machine as..."He pointed to Mirai "You showed up, telling us that you needed help with your anxiety." Mirai nodded her head, essentially fully proving the story.
As the mentor stood up "Well now that I'm done with that I might as well introduce myself, my name is Uragi." Ushio looks at him "Hey what about me?" Uragi, slowly pointing at Ushio, explained. "You just wanted the money the corporation offered you." Ushio whistled, ashamed, that Uragi told this fact, he even forgot that he did it for money. _
Act 3 Mirai stood up while informing the others, "I have some other things I need to do, and I really need to get back to my husband. So it was nice meeting you Mr. Uragi but I really have to go." She then turned around, ready to open the door and leave.
However, Uragi stopped her as he informed Mirai, "Your husband could very well be targeted because you even have those powers."
Ushio, kind of shocked about Uragis words, stood up looking at him, "Is that supposed to be a threat?"
The man shook his head vividly as he assured him, "No no, you misunderstood what I meant. What I mean is that since she has that brace the monsters could threaten anything she finds dear."
As Mirai, kind of shocked, sat back down, she said, "I- I understand..."
Meanwhile in another part of the city, Noodara walked out into the street as someone walking up, looking down at their phone looked up a bit, "Hey could you watch where you're goin..." as he realised, what was in front of him, he screamed, running in the other direction.
Noodara looked back shooting a web at the man, keeping him from getting away, "That could have been bad, people would have tipped to what I was doing." The noodle spider then started laughing "Who am I kidding, I'm a giant spider. Not like I can keep this hidden."
Nearby civilians had noticed what just happened and they began to panic, running in every direction. Noodara sighed, "I really wanted this to be easy but I guess not." He began shooting webs all around him as people stick to mail-boxes, light poles, doors to buildings and other nearby things.
Some of the grunts started walking over to the stuck people and took them and other objects away to some unknown place. Noodara groaned in annoyance while he thought, "God, at this rate, I'll never be done with this. If only there was some way to speed this up." The Ramen monster looked over at the nearby grunt as he commanded, "That's your cue to make me grow, dummy." The grunt jumped a bit, before pulling out a comically large needle, being barely able to carry it. The grunt pokes noodara in the butt with it.
Back at the restaurant, Hanaya leaned over to Mirai as she wondered, "Didn't that seem a bit off to you?"
Mirai looked over to Hanaya and responded, "I guess a little bit. But I don't fully see what you mean."
Hanaya getting up as she said, "You couldn't see the complete misunderstanding that just happened right th..." Before she could finish her sentence, the ground shook, like an earthquake was happening.
Ushio looked at the man and said, "I don't care what this misunderstanding is at all, I'm pretty sure everyone just felt that earthquake and I might be the only one thinking this but we need to figure out what the hell that just was."
Kai and Hayate both stood up saying in unison, "The one time this guy makes sense is right now."
Mirai was the next one to stand up, still hesitating a bit, while she said, "I guess we could do this at least once."
Hanaya looked at all of them. "Are you all insane?! We're risking our lives over something we don't fully understand yet. I mean for real, I'm not even sure this whole thing is real yet." But alas, she sighed before standing up, "But if you all wanna do this, I guess I'll come with you all."
The man then opened the front door, allowing them all to leave for the time being. The team rushed out of the door, heading down the street as they slowly, one by one, looked up to see a giant spider down the street at a fair distance.
In shock, they all quickly went running, back into the restaurant, freaking out at the fact they just saw a giant spider-like monster. They rushed through the door, which was slammed shut by Ushio. His attention went to Uragi as he looked at the other man. He screamed aloud, "You never said that thing was in the ******* job description!"
Hayate, out of breath, was smiling and scared at the same time "It is a Kaiju...a REAL ******* KAIJU!"
Kai looked down at Hayate and Ushio, shocked as he yelled in response, "Language you two!"
The man opened a secret door, looking back to the team, "Well then, you might need these." He said and gave them a sign, to follow him down the stairs. All five of them looked at each other, confirming that everyone will follow the strange man. Cautiously, everyone went down the stairs, to the hidden basement.
