30 Worlds: Royal Megaforce, Episode XX: "Kokaku Kidotai (Mobile Armored Riot Police)"

CHAPTER FIVE

A woman stepped forward so that William/BraveKyoryuRed could see her. "It is so good to see you again, Prince William...or should I say, King William, now," she said. "You may not recognize me, but I sure do recognize you. The last time we met—I believe it was on the Isle of the Lost in the World of Descendants, if I remember correctly—I said to you, 'We're nothing—all of us—when judged in comparison to Lord Xur. When he goes into battle, no one survives. It is he who will have the honor of defeating you.'"

William/BraveKyoryuRed tried but failed to stifle a gasp when he realized who truly stood before him. "You're The Master!" he said. The woman nodded, a smug smile of satisfaction on her face. "Although I go by the name 'Missy' now," she said. "You forget, Your Majesty, that we Time Lords of Gallifrey can regenerate into an opposite gender if we feel it necessary."

Missy looked at the Rangers and scoffed. "I hope you realize that even destroying one of you hands the multi-verse to the A.I.C.," she said. "Destroying you all in one fell swoop will just be the icing on the cake."

"That may be so, Missy, but you forget one thing," a voice called out. "This is our world, so you have to destroy us first!" Everyone looked up to see Major and Batou. "Major! Batou! What are you doing here? I thought I asked you to remain on the Enterprise!" William/BraveKyoryuRed said.

"William, like Major said to Missy down there, this is our world," Batou said. "Let us aid you in defending it." "Have you absorbed Keys?" Sofia/BraveKyoryuPink asked. "We have indeed," Major said, producing a device from the utility belt around her waist and strapping it to her right wrist. "Ninpuu Shinobi Change!" Major called out before spinning a gold-colored circular object on the device.

Batou lifted the sleeve of the jacket he wore to reveal a wrist-mounted device with a stylized bird image on it. "Cross Changer!" he said before activating the device.

The suit of HurricaneRed (leader of Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger) formed on Major's body, while the suit of Red Hawk (leader of Chojin Sentai Jetman) formed on Batou's body.

"Winds howl while skies roar! I am the Air Ninja, HurricaneRed!" Major/HurricaneRed called out.

"Red Hawk!" Batou/RedHawk yelled out. They then joined the four teams of Dino Rangers as they stood defiant in front of Missy and her forces.

"In the name of those lost, those who still live and those who are yet to live, we fight to save the future! We are the Scarlett Army!" the Rangers called out before the forces began to clash.

A few minutes into the fight, William/BraveKyoryuRed had Missy pinned against a nearby stone sculpture. "It's over, Missy!" William/BraveKyoryuRed said. "It will never be over, William, until you defeat Xur," Missy said. "And it will be even harder now that I'm getting away!"

Missy let out a piercing whistle. To William's horror, a TARDIS formed around Missy and then slowly disappeared. Disgustedly, William/BraveKyoryuRed took his gun and fired it, destroying the head of an A.I.C. robot and sending the rest of the robot's body crashing to the ground.

"William, are you all right?" Sofia/BraveKyoryuPink asked William. "No, Sofia, I'm not," William/BraveKyoryuRed said as the last of the A.I.C. soldiers fell before the weapons of the Scarlett Army warriors. "We had Missy dead to rights, and she still got away!"

"There will be another time, William," Sofia said as she and William powered down. "Until then, there is one thing I can personally do to make you feel better."

Sofia moved over to William and kissed him on the lips. "Sofia, I appreciate your doing that, but I just want to leave this world and move on with the mission," William said. "I understand, William," Sofia said.

Mal opened her Mobilates, "Princess Consort Mal to Enterprise. Code 4. I repeat, Code 4. Proceed with retrieval of personnel," she said. "Yes, ma'am," Calhoun said.

As the first members of the away team returned to the Enterprise, Major and Batou walked up to William and Sofia, Keys in hand. "Here you go, William," Major said. "Thanks, Major," William said before he made the Keys disappear.

"Are you all right?" Batou said. "Just a little disappointed that Missy got away," William said. "Well, don't be," Batou said. "We'll catch up to her out there, somewhere."

"If you say so, Batou," William said before disappearing in a cloud of red mist.

Batou and Major cast concerned looks at Sofia. "Don't you think William's taking Missy's escape a little too hard?" Batou asked. "That's why I love William," Sofia said. "He takes his responsibilities in relation to this mission very seriously."

"But, don't you think that what we've seen here this morning is him taking those responsibilities a little too seriously?" Major asked. A concerned look began to appear on Sofia's face.

"Major, I'll be the first to admit that William takes failure a bit too hard. However, when you realize what he's gone through so far on this mission, you'll realize that those experiences make him more resilient than you may understand," Sofia said.

Major and Batou were still thinking about Sofia's words as the Enterprise transporter claimed them.
