Meanwhile, we come along a certain green-haired young coordinator. He was in a car with some person, a brown-haired teen who looked about a year older than Ash. They didn't see anything going on. They were well out of downtown right now. The older boy, who had brown hair, just stared at the road.

"Tell me why you need me to drive you, again?"

"Because I don't have a car," said Drew.

"You should have taken the bus," said the older boy.

"Toya, it's not my fault," said Drew.

"It is," said Toya. "Now shut—what the?"

When he looked behind, he noticed some orcs giving chase. "SHIT!"

What are those things! ?" Drew shouted back.

"I don't know," said Toya. "But they're not going to catch me!" He swerved his car, avoiding whatever arrow came his way. Several orcs raced up, shooting arrows from the side. Drew didn't know which to be afraid of; Toya's driving, or these things.

Back in downtown, the scene had changed. Two new creatures, one that looked particularly monstrous, and one that looked more human, had shown up. "That was easy," said the green-skinned woman.

"Too easy," said the monstrous one, who looked like a lizard.

Just then, the square was filled up by soldiers. But they didn't look like National Guardsmen. No, they wore blue uniforms and what looked like an eagle on their shoulder patches. A woman, with short hair and a black spysuit, walked up behind them, crouching down. She reached for her walkie-talkie. "We're in position, sir."

"Get ready," said the voice on the other end.

"Now?"

"Now." The woman nodded. The woman reached for a bullhorn.

"This is agent Maria Hill of the Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Directorate!" she said. "You are ordered to lay down your weapons and surrender!"

"You and whose army?" the feminine monster shouted. It was enough. Agent Hill nodded.

The soldiers opened fire, but this seemed more direct than the police. These were highly trained and ready soldiers. Several orcs fell, black blood spilling all over the place. The orcs split up, one group led by the lizard monster, the other group led by the female monster.

"They've split up!" she said into her walkie-talkie.

"Direct half to follow the lizard, the other half to follow the woman," said the voice.

"Yes sir," Agent Hill said on the other end of the line.

S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, San Francisco.

By now the situation was being monitored very closely. The big room was filled with agents and a cacophony of typing and words. The big monitors that circled the room showed footage of the battle going on in Cerulean. Other monitors showed X's representing the orcs and agents were on other monitors.

The atmosphere was calm, but fevered. A few agents went about like this was nothing. They must be veterans. Others watched nervously. They must be rookies. One agent walked along the catwalk that intersected with another one. In their pits, the agents were coordinating the defense of the city.

It was really difficult what to say in this situation. From the way things would look to an outsider, you'd think they were in dire straits. However, the same argument could be made that they had things under control. But you can never be to sure. It only takes one second for things to go wrong. But it didn't look that way here.

"What's the situation?" she asked.

"We've got one monster heading for the university campus," said one agent. "The other monster has taken the remaining orcs and is heading south, towards the city limits."

"The police should be able to handle the female monster," said the female agent. "What about the other monster?"

"National Guard troops are inbound," said the agent. "Some of our people are in pursuit."

"Keep on them!" said the agent. "Get some more of our people in there to cut them off!"

"Yes, ma'am!" said the agent.

"Has the city been evacuated?" one person in the middle the room asked.

"Downtown is being evacuated," said the female agent.

"Good," said the leader.

By the time Misty arrived downtown, the place was being evacuated, but there was still a lot of chaos. She had no time to see what was going on. A policeofficer pulled her to the side. She fell to the ground. Several people ran past her. She scrambled out of the way, trying to avoid getting trampled.

She reached the wall, panting in terror. The place was still in a panic. It was like a stampede of scared elephants. People in herd situations are dangerous. Several police officers and National Guardsman were doing their best to direct the human traffic, but the fear in air was infecting them, too.

The fear was heavy in the air. And Misty felt it, too. That's when she saw the orcs. The ugly monsters rampaging down Corsola Street shocked her system. Now she could see why people were running. And she couldn't blame them for being scared.

Luckily, Misty is no Bella Swan. And she was prepared.

She gathered her courage, standing up and grabbing a Poke Ball out of her bag. "Go, Blastoise!"

"Blastoise, Blast!"

"Blastoise, Hydro Cannon!"

"Blas… TOISE! !" Blastoise got on all fours and let loose a torrent of water from its shoulder guns. The attack struck the wall of orcs. They could not defend against a Pokemon attack, being blasted into each other.

But there were still more of them. And the female monster, who happened to be right in front of her, charged forward. "What do you think you're doing, girlie! ?" she shouted.

"YAH!" Misty panicked, throwing another Poke Ball, this one releasing Golduck. "Goldduck, Mega Punch!"

"GOOOLL…"

"OUT OF MY WAY, SCUM! !" the monster shouted, swatting Golduck out of the way.

"Golduck, Blastoise, return!" Misty shouted, as the two were recalled. She started to run. Now she didn't know what possessed her to do this, but she pivoted on her left foot and gave the monster a punch to the jaw. What she didn't know was that there was a water drop-like symbol on her forehead.

Meanwhile, poor Drew was in for the ride of his life. Toya was turning the streets of Cerulean into his own personal racetrack. And since there are things called speed limits, that's saying something. But then again, your average commuter isn't being chased my murderous orcs! "Could you please just—Oh, I'm terribly sorry, ma'am! Slow down! ?"

"NO!" Toya shouted.

"Well, I don't want to di—I'm going to pay for that!—don't want to die!"

"We won't die!" said Toya. "Trust me; I know what I'm doing!"

"I hope you do!" Drew shouted. Toya swerved, avoiding an orc. He'd rolled the windows up, but, "Are those windows arrow-proof?"

"They should be!" said Toya.

"Oh, great! And I just wanted to meet with May!"

"We're not going to die!" Toya growled. Now just hang on! There's an abandoned shopping mall just north of here!"

Back in San Francisco, S.H.I.E.L.D. was watching the situation carefully. By now, they'd noticed Toya's car heading north. In fact, the lizard monster was heading in the same direction, heading south. It looked like they would intercept each other.

"Commander Fury," said the female agent. "The enemies are approaching. It doesn't look like we'll be able to mobilize our forces in time."

"It doesn't matter," said Fury. This is Commander Nick Fury. The Samuel L. Jackson look-a-like scanned the monitors with his good eye. Much of the orc resistance was being put down by now. But, these two breakaway forces were going to be a problem. One, the campus isn't exactly made for a military strike. Second, even if that abandoned mall is out of the way, the two people in the car would be a problem. But Fury had an ace up his sleeve. "Is our team nearby?"

"Yes, they should be, sir," said the female agent.

"Put them on the line."

"Yes, sir!" Fury waited, while he was connected to their strike team. Finally, he heard them pick it.

"There's a car headed north towards the abandoned Cerulean mall," said Fury. "Some orcs are also going that way. Gentlemen… you're up."

"YES, SIR!"

Misty had been following the female monster for a while. It had taken a small band of orcs that had survived the battle into the park near the UCC campus. She had to be quiet. Otherwise, well, you get the idea. The place was mostly abandoned, due to the large evacuation order. That didn't matter to her. What mattered was stopping this thing.

But she still didn't know why she punched that thing. It was like something had possessed her, made her do it. And you know what? It felt kind of good. Sure, her hand was still hurting, but still—it felt great! But the monster was still on the run.

It looked confused. It genuinely did not know the layout of the park. She hid behind some trees. It seemed to be the safest—and smartest—thing to do. She waited, not making a sound. She wanted to know what was going on, and whatever that monster was saying, it could help.

"… Never knew we'd face this much resistance! Our plan has failed!" Plan? What plan? "You don't understand! These humans, calling themselves 'Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Directorate' intercepted us! No, we haven't seen anything else. Salazard left, he went somewhere else and took a large force of orcs with him."

"Who's Salazard?" Misty said to herself. Just then, she heard something.

"What is it now?"

"Your reign of terror has ended!" the voice called out. Misty could not see, but it looked like the monster was… afraid.

"No! It can't be! NO! !"

Drew was screaming at the top of his lungs. An orc arrow had hit the left front of Toya's car and the tire had blown just a couple hundred feet from the abandoned mall. Toya tried desperately to get the car under control. A bunch of orcs were swarming them. Toya struggled to regain control, the car swerving about.

They crashed through the chain link fence. But the car still hadn't stopped. And Toya was starting to lose control. He gripped the steering wheel while Drew held on to the door handle. The tires were screeching and the left front showering sparks. Toya pressed down on the brakes in a desperate attempt to stop the car.

Finally, it came to a halt. "We made it? WE MADE IT! !" In his excitement, Drew hugged an uncomfortable Toya. But the sounds of a horde of orcs alerted them.

"We're not done yet," said Toya.

Salazard, the lizard monster, had arrived with his band of orcs. Toya and Drew recoiled in fear, but there was less on Toya's face. "Crap," he said.

Suddenly, three figures came out of nowhere, gathering in front of Toya's car. "Who are you?" Salazard called.

All three were wearing black leather jackets with stylized numbers on the back, like animals in red, blue and yellow. The three faced down Salazard and his orc band. The three faces were familiar; Ash, Jimmy, and May.

"Get out of the way!" shouted Salazard. The three didn't move, instead reaching for a lanyard, and pulling something that looked like a chip. Then, they grabbed a cell phone-like device out and put the chip inside.

"Ready!" said Ash.

"Ready!

"RPM," they pressed a button on their phones. "Get in Gear!"

In a flash of light, they were transformed, dressed in red, blue and yellow spandex. Ash in red, Jimmy in blue, and May in yellow. "Whoa!" said Toya.

"GET THEM! !" Salazard shouted. The orcs rushed forward. Ash, Jimmy and May prepared, the bands on their gloves and boots spinning like tires, colored grooves appearing on them. They rushed forward and engaged the orcs.

Ash jumped, tumbled in the air and landed, jumping up and kicking the orcs. He landed and spun around. His boots screeched like tires. He got down and sweep kicked another bunch of orcs. He got up, blocking an orc sword and elbowing the orc in the face. He spun again, his boots screeching. He side kicked an orc into a group of them. They fell down under their own weight.

Jimmy was next, grunting as he punched a couple of orcs in the chest. He grabbed two and slammed them against each other. He ducked, avoiding an orc sword and punched that orc in the face. He ran up to another group, shoving them hard. He pushed them backwards. Their heavy armor did the rest. He kicked at an orc's head, knocking it backwards. He elbowed another one behind him.

May ducked, cartwheeled, and then flipping over before kicking an orc in the face. She threw a nasty uppercut at one as arrows flew past. The orc fell backwards into a group of them. She kick blocked a couple of orcs' kicks and then knocked them backwards. She grunted when an orc grabbed her from behind. She just slammed on his foot. Even the armor couldn't stop her. She elbowed it back.

"Time to kick it up!" Ash said, grabbing a red chip from his belt pack. Then he grabbed his fuel pump nozzle-shaped blaster. "Engine Cell, Activate! Nitro Saber!" He took a cut out of several orcs with the extended blade. He spun, blocking an orc sword and taking a big cut. He parried, blocked, and thrust. Several orcs fell to the ground while he let loose on them. Then, he turned his attention to Salazard.

Jimmy braced himself. An orc rushed him. He caught the orc in the right place and lifted it up, spinning it around and then tossed it into several orcs. He grabbed his Nitro Blaster, inserted his Engine Cell and took a couple of shots. He back kicked another orc into the wall. He ducked while an orc crashed over him. He kicked, knocking the sword out of one orc's hands. He clotheslined the next orc that came his way.

As for May, she jumped up, flipping in the air. When she came down, she took out as many orcs as she could. She kicked another one. The band on her leg started spinning, sending sparks and the orc flying. She took out her blaster and fired a couple of shots. The orcs were sent flying while explosions sent others flying. With another spin move, she took out the rest. Then, she noticed Drew was in trouble.

Salazard had noticed Toya's car. This got the two occupants to get out ASAP. Just then, May jumped in and crashed into Salazard. "Get away from them!" she shouted.

"Damn girl!" Salazard shouted. He got up and rushed her. Just then, Ash rushed in and took a couple of nasty swipes at Salazard. Salazard screamed, flying back into the wall. Ash, Jimmy and May regrouped. They pressed their belt buckles. Their chest insignias lit up, and some weapons materialized right in front of them

"Street Saber!" said Ash.

"Turbo Cannon!" cried Jimmy.

"Zip Charger!" cried May.

"Let's go!" Ash screamed. The three charged Salazard, who was still getting up. Ash took a few swipes out of him. Sparks flew while Salazard screamed. The lizard regrouped and took a swipe at Ash. Ash blocked it and took another slash. A pair of blasts rocked Salazard, knocking him down. Jimmy aimed the Turbo Cannon at him again and took two more shots. Salazard screamed. May took the Zip Charger and revved it up on her arm, firing it like a wind-up car. It zipped around, hitting Salazard every which way.

Salazard growled at the trio. They didn't move. "Who are you?" he asked.

"We're S.H.I.E.L.D.'s elite strike force!" said Ash. "We're the Power Rangers."

"Power Rangers?" said Toya.

"Who cares!" Salazard shouted. He roared, got up and charged the trio. They jumped out of the way, but not before he hit May.

"Yellow!" Ash shouted. He didn't have time to do anything. Salazard attacked, forcing him to defend. He parried several attacks with his Street Saber. Jimmy gave him some cover, letting off a couple of shots from the Turbo Cannon. Salazard screamed and used his tail to whack Jimmy into the street.

"Hey!" Drew said as he ran over to May. Toya tried to stop him. However, he didn't have enough time, as Drew was with May before he could do anything. "Are you okay?" Drew asked, picking her up.

"I'm fine," she said. "I'm not hurt. Who's he?"

"Just a friend," said Drew. "And who are you?"

"I'm the Yellow Ranger," she said, matter-of-factly. "Now let me go!" He did and she ran off to help Ash and Jimmy.

Ash was certainly having trouble. Salazard had him on the ropes. He was trying to keep Salazard from pushing him to the ground. But the cackling lizard had the advantage. Salazard cackled and said, "Give it up, scum. You're not what we're after."

"What?"

"You're just a—AAH!" Sparks flew from Salazard. Ash looked to see May holding her blaster. He saluted her before taking a big swing at Salazard.

It was then that Toya noticed several orcs regrouping, getting ready to shoot the Rangers. Well, Toya wasn't about to let anything happen. Before Drew could do anything, Toya rushed over to them, putting some gloves on. He threw a vicious right hook at the orc archer. He wasn't sure how hard he hit, but it knocked it out. Then, he spun around and kicked the other orc right in the chin. "TOYA!" Toya looked to see another orc rushing at him.

"KYAA!" Drew shouted and kicked the orc right in the back. Jimmy turned around and shot the orc twice. He saluted the two before going back to Salazard.

"Time to finish this!" said Ash. "Road Blaster!" Ash and Jimmy combined the Street Saber with the Turbo Cannon. May placed the Zip Charger in the Turbo Cannon. "So we're nobodies, huh?" Ash asked. "Tell your boss we're serious!" Ash placed his red Engine Cell in the Engine Cell slot in the Turbo Cannon.

"Ready!" said Jimmy.

"Thornia!" Salazard shouted, apparently to the female monster. "We have a new enemy!"

"Aim!" said May. The targeting computer in the Street Saber raised and locked on to Salazard.

"FIRE! !" cried Ash. He pulled the trigger and the Zip Charger was fired at Salazard.

"THE POWER RANGEEERRRSSS! ! !" Salazard screamed as he was hit by the energized Zip Charger before exploding.

"Wow-how-how!" said Drew. "That was awesome!" Toya just stood there in surprise as the Rangers walked over to them.

"Hey," said Ash. "Thanks for your help." He reached out, extending his hand to Toya. Toya looked like he wasn't sure what to do. Finally, with Drew's encouragement, he shook Ash's hand.

"You're welcome," he said.

"You did good," May said to Drew. "Thank you."

"Oh, it was nothing," said Drew. "Thanks for helping me May." Drew covered his mouth up. Underneath her visor, May was utterly shocked. Now, in the correct situation, she should have denied it, saying something along the lines of 'who is she?' but in her shocked state, she only made things worse.

"D-D-Drew, I—"

"Yellow!" Ash said, trying to keep her quiet.

"Ash?" Oh, great. The secret's out.

"Who's he?" Nice damage control.

"Forget it," said Drew. "May, what's going on?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," said May.

"What is she talking about?" asked Toya. "This is all so sudd—" Ash got a ring from his phone.

"Hello?"

"Rangers," said Fury. "We have another monster near the UCC campus. Get over there ASAP."

"Understood," said Ash. "We have to go. There's another monster near the UCC campus."

"Then let's get movin'!" said Jimmy. Drew did not have a chance to ask more questions, as the Rangers sped off.

Misty could not believe her eyes. It wasn't possible! It couldn't be! They're supposed to be a fantasy, not reality! She'd heard rumors of their existence when she was younger, when she was off traveling with Ash. She always scoffed it off, thinking it was just a story. There's no way they could exist! It was as if she was picked up and dropped into her favorite manga. But there they were; standing nearly a hundred yards away.

Sailors.

"This isn't possible!" said Thornia. "How can you exist?"

"We exist because people like you exist!" said one of the Sailors. There were two of them; one whose color scheme was yellow, the other in red. The one with the yellow skirt, boots, collar and bow had long blonde hair. The one with the red skirt, boots, collar and bow had short dirty blonde hair. "Your reign of terror in this city has ended!" said the one in yellow. "I am the soldier of electricity, Sailor Thunder!"

"And I am the soldier of flame, Sailor Fire!"

"And in the name of Thunder,"

"And Fire,"

"We shall punish you!"

And how are they supposed to be intimidating? Misty thought to herself. Boy, that sure wore off.

"Damn you," said Thorina. "ATTACK! !" The orcs charged forth. The two Sailors jumped out of the way and prepared to strike.

"Stunning Thunder!" Thunder cried. A ball of thunder (duh) discharged from her hands as she jumped and slammed it into the ground, sending waves of orcs flying in all directions. Misty watched in awe. She was so cool!

"Flame… THROWER!" Fire went all Kamehameha, shooting a stream of flames from her hands. The flames scorched the orcs, who were screaming in agony. Misty was a little less impressed with her, though. But it was probably because of the agony she put the orcs through. Evil or not, that must have been painful.

She noticed Thorina talking to someone. "Salazard, what is it? What do you mean, 'new enemy?' Power Rangers what ar—Salazard? Salazard! Damn!"

"What's a Power Ranger?" Misty asked to herself. Thorina gave up on contacting Salazard. The two Sailors were still cleaning up orc resistance, and Thorina had a bad idea. It became clear why she's known as Thorina, as she used some vines coming out of her body.

She had the two Sailors wrapped up in those vines. Naturally, Fire had it easy; just use that power of hers. Thorina was screaming while Fire burned off the vines that had her and Thunder bound. With those vones gone, Fire and Thunder had a clear attack. "Stunning Thunder!"

"Flame… THROWER! !"

But Thorina had an ace up her sleeve. Apparently, she was faster than those attacks. "Where did that speed come from?" Misty asked.

"How did she—"

"Never mind!" Thunder interrupted. "Stunning Thunder!" The volts of electricity did not strike Thorina. But from the way Misty could tell, all she had was a monster equivalent of Vine Whip and some speed. However, there could be more in that arsenal of hers. Knowing grass-type Pokemon, she could use an evil equivalent of Razor Leaf.

"Try this!" Misty was not surprised at all to see Thorina let loose a fury of leaves at the two Sailors. While Fire did defend herself quite well, it wasn't working out for Thunder. And that left her open. "Hi there!" Thorina said, kicking Thunder right in the face. Thunder crashed into Fire, and the two were knocked down. Thorina was laughing.

And now Misty knew she had to do something. There were more orcs on their way. But what could she do? Sure, she's brave and all, but she doesn't have any—is that fur? She looked down. It was the same black cat from earlier. "Go away," she whispered. The cat didn't move, staring up at her. "It's dangerous," she said, bending down to pick it up. It ran off, and Misty tried to call it to her.

"Come on," she said. "It's dangerous." But the cat stayed there. Misty didn't know what to do. So, she decided to get it on her good side. "I don't know what to do about those two," she said. "I'm no superhero. And Pokemon aren't going to do much." She slid down on the tree. "Man, if only there was someway of helping them."

As if it understood her, the cat jumped up, tumbled, and a blue stick with a blue ball and a raindrop symbol on it appeared. "This is weird," she said, picking it up. And when she touched it, the strangest thing of all happened.

The raindrop symbol appeared on her head again, and she lifted the stick in the air. And, as if on instinct, she cried, "Ocean, elemental power, Make… UP!" It felt like nothing she'd ever felt before. It was like Ecstasy, only this one wasn't killing her. Then, the feeling stopped. She looked down. "Holy cow! I'm a Sailor! ?" Yep, she was dressed just like those girls, except her coloring was blue. Now that she had something, she stepped out from the tree line.

"Stop right there!" she shouted. Thornia turned around. Her jaw dropped.

"Another one! ?"

"I am the soldier of water, Sailor Ocean!" she said. "And in the name of the seas, I shall punish you!" Ugh, did I really just say that?

"She must be a new one," Thornia said to herself.

"What should we do with her?" said one of the orcs.

"She should be easy," said Thornia.

"They must think I'm easy," Misty said to herself. The orcs aimed their arrows, drew their swords and prepared to charge. Misty didn't think she could handle their forces with her fists or feet. She needed an attack. And as if by instinct, she knew she had one. She rushed forward, right as the orcs notched their arrows. "Tidal...WAVE!" She unleashed a torrent of water that crashed over the orcs, sending them towards the river.

"Wow," said Thunder.

"You little BITCH! !" Thornia screamed. "Time to DIE! !"

"Stunning Thunder!"

"Flame… THROWER! !" Thornia had made a big mistake. In focusing on Misty, she'd forgotten about Fire and Thunder.

"Tidal… WAVE!" Not to be outdone, Misty let her own attack loose. The three attacks combined and Thornia could only scream as she was incinerated.

"That takes care of her," Thunder said, inspecting the monster's ashes. Then she turned to Misty. "Thank you, Ocean," she said.

"Um, you're welcome, I guess," said Misty.

"Where did you get that power?" said Fire.

"Um, I'm not sure," Misty replied. "Some black cat gave me the stick, and I just used it."

"Do you even know what's going on?" Thunder asked.

"No!" she shouted. "I had this weird dream last night about a palace on the moon, and now I'm wearing a Sailor outfit! Oh, this is all so sudden! I should be back at the gym!"

"Gym? Wait… Misty Waterflower?" said Thunder.

"What are you talking about?" Misty asked.

"You said Gym, are you the Cerulean gym leader?" said Fire.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about," Misty replied.

"Now that I think about it, she has the hair," said Fire.

"So, who are you supposed to be?" Misty asked.

"Calm down!" said Fire.

"Are you alright?" asked Thunder.

"NO!" Misty shouted. "I want to know what's going on!"

"You're a Sailor now!" said Thunder. "Isn't it obvious?"

"Why are you asking like you know my name?" asked Misty. "Please, just tell me what is going on?"

"We don't know either," said Fire.

"WHAT! ?"

"But we intend to find out," said Thunder. "We need you to do something."

"What is that?" asked Misty.

"Meet us here at 4 o'clock tomorrow," said Fire. "Untransformed."

"Will you?"

"Yes," said Thunder.

"Um, okay," Misty said while holding her head. "I think I can meet you, but I'm not sure who you are."

"You will know," said Thunder. "You will know."

Misty desperately wanted to know now. And she opened her mouth to say that, but Thunder silenced her. It was in that moment she heard a sound, like a car approaching. It was coming from the south, and that's where their heads turned. Great, NOW what? Misty thought to herself.

They burst out of the tree line like a bat out of hell. They skidded to a stop, the sounds of tires screeching with their boots. Misty was completely bewildered. Red, blue and yellow spandex, black visors; who are these guys? Well, they couldn't be worse dressed than her. "Um, who are they?" she asked.

"I don't know," said Thunder. Her hands started to crackle with electricity.

"Oh, great," said the one in blue. "Hey, um, what are we going to do, Red?"

"Who are you?" said the red one.

"We are Sailors!" said Thunder. "Sailors Thunder, Fire, and Ocean! Who are you?"

"Sailors?" said Red. "I didn't know they really existed."

"I didn't know they were here," said Yellow.

"Who are you?" said Thunder.

"We're the Power Rangers," said Red. "Do you have a problem with that?"

"No," said Thunder. "Unless you stay out our way."

"We will," said Red. "But you'd better stay out of our way, too."

"We'll see," said Thunder. Misty watched, hoping this wouldn't devolve into a superhero version of 'NO U'. But the two continued to stare at each other until the Power Rangers started to leave. Their mission was done, anyway. She watched them speed off, wondering just what was going to happen next.

Her problems were just beginning.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:

Okaaayyy, a really long chapter, there.

Um, anyways, I think this might be one of the better chapters so far, but, it might get better from here on out. Now the problem is, we've got two superhero teams, so balancing the two's going to be difficult.

And if the Sailor thing looked like it came out of left field, just remember the first chapter. Then you'll figure things out. And the Power Ranger thing is hinted at. The series in this is Power Rangers RPM.

As I said previously, the characters of Sailor Thunder (Thunder Soldier) and Sailor Fire (Fire Soldier) belong to the Soldier project. I'm just borrowing them and claim no credit (except for coming up with the clearly unoriginal adaptation names).

And as for the settings, I'm keeping the two-setting thing for now. I think they both have their merits, and they're essentially the same story, just with a few changes and adjustments for each.
