Super Sentai vs Super Sentai
Author's Note: Many thanks for the review even when it's just 4 reviews. To answer your questions, unfortunately I have bad news. I don't think I'll be including ALL full teams. So only a select few. I'm only human after all... At any rate, you can enjoy who appears in this chapter.
PREVIOUSLY ON CHAPTER 1
Shiba Takeru, otherwise known as Shinken Red, has just finished the battle against Gedoushuu. Shortly, he fought against the remnants of Gedoushuu, no matter how weak it was, but after a phenomenon including the sky turning weird and an earthquake, he found out that something went amiss in the world. For instance… the whole resident of the Shiba House was gone. He then encountered a strange book.
ACT 2: The boost from the past
Slowly, Takeru opened the book he just found. "Super Sentai… a task force that protected the Earth ever since the ancient times…" He read with a low voice, soon after learning about warriors who were chosen to fight evil years ago, starting from the Gorangers. He also found out that his group of Shinkengers was included amongst the warriors of history.
'So my name was already marked in history… who wrote this?' Takeru wondered, closing the book, as he didn't find anything useful about the situation. Where did Jii and the others go?
'Maybe they know…' Takeru then pulled out his Shodophone and dialed a number.
"No answer…" Takeru was bewildered after the call ended. He called in Ryuunosuke, his most loyal vassal, who'd be more likely overjoyed if he called. But there was no answer. Takeru tried calling the other vassals; Mako, Chiaki, Kotoha and Genta. But there were no answers as well, even though what he used was normal cell phone numbers.
"What in the world is happening…?"
Just as he sighed in frustration, he noticed something on the book. It was a mark of a university. It reads 'Shinkou University'.
Thus Takeru headed to the university, trying to return the book that he did not know to the university. He then headed to the information desk, on which an officer is waiting.
"Good day, sir. May I help you?" The lady asked.
"Ahem," Takeru coughed a bit before speaking, showing the book, "I found this book at my home. It seemed like it belonged to this university so I'd like to return it." The lady was silenced on looking at the book, which puzzled Takeru.
"Something wrong with this book?"
"Well, sir… We know it's the seal to our university, but… but we never had such book in our library. So…"
'This book wasn't even here…? What was the seal for then?' Takeru wondered, but it was cut short when suddenly screams were heard from the front, accompanied with some beating sounds. Even the lady was frightened and tried to move outside to see what happened. 'Students fighting…? Or could it be… Gedoushuu?' Takeru then rushed to the scene to find out what's going on.
When Takeru made it outside, a fight indeed has ensued. However, the perpetrator wasn't the Gedoushuu at all. Instead, there were several soldiers in black, with a mask and clownish nose, accompanied with a monster in a form of a huge tower shield with arms and legs. "These are not the Gedoushuu…? !" Takeru commented as he drew his Shinkenmaru, to defend the innocents that these people attacked.
"You… what are you?" Takeru asked as the monster approached him, shortly after he took down several of the troops.
"I am a member of the Bouma tribe. Shield Bouma!" The monster exclaimed. "You've got guts to challenge me, little boy. But you should know that you'll never take me down!"
"Bouma tribe…? !" Takeru was surprised. He had never heard such thing before. But for some reason, it sounded kind of familiar. His thoughts were cut off when the Shield Bouma swung his fist to him, which he dodged.
Takeru didn't waste any more words and swung his Shinkenmaru to the Shield Bouma. However, true to its name, its defense is impenetrable as it easily deflected Takeru's Shinkenmaru. The Bouma monster began overwhelming Takeru with him unable to give him a scratch.
While he fought, several of the soldiers snuck behind him and started attacking the other innocents watching. "Damn it!" Takeru cursed as he tried to help, but the Shield Bouma barred his way. He could only watch as the soldiers started attacking the innocents…
"HOLD IT!"
The soldiers looked sideways and they saw a college student bravely running towards them, and then started beating them up, even when the soldiers were putting up resistances. 'He's strong... It's like he's fighting like a Shinkenger…!' Takeru thought in awe as he witnessed the student fight.
"Where are you looking at? !" Shield Bouma reprimanded him as he swatted Takeru aside. However, he shortly turned his back and walked away.
"Running away?" Takeru asked.
"Call it what you like, but I'm calling it a 'strategic retreat'. I've suffered too many losses for this operation" The Bouma tribesman said, "But remember. Next time, I will not run, and you will die!" With that, all of the soldiers retreated with the monster.
"Wait! Bouma!" The student yelled as he chased off the Bouma and the soldiers, but it was apparent that he couldn't catch up. "Damn. I never thought they, of all people, would be back in weird times like this."
"You. How did you know about those things calling themselves Bouma?" Takeru asked the student as he got up.
"Of course I know. I've been fighting them for about a year or so." The student answered, "By the way, you're pretty good. Holding on your own against them like that bravely…"
"Well, I also had my share of fighting." Takeru replied back.
"Whoa." The student looked in awe to Takeru, "So you're saying that you're a warrior on your own?"
"Guess you can say that again. Do you study here?" Takeru asked back.
"Yeah. I'm still a freshman, though." The student answered, until he realized something, "Ah damn! I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Youhei. Hama Youhei."
"Hama… Youhei…?" Takeru was sure the name sounded familiar, until he was reminded of the things he just read from the book. According to the book, Youhei was a member of one of the Super Sentai Teams, in this case, the Turborangers, who fought against the Bouma tribe. 'This… is Youhei from that book? The one who goes by the alias 'Blue Turbo'? So I was thrown to the past?'
"Uh, anything wrong? You don't look so good." Youhei asked when he realized Takeru was spacing out.
"Huh? Oh, nothing. Just thinking of something." Takeru replied, trying to hide his thought, "I'm Shiba Takeru."
"Nice to meet you, then!" Youhei offered his hand for handshake, which Takeru accepted, "So… what are you here for? Trying to enroll here?"
"No." Takeru shook his head, then he showed Youhei the book, "I was trying to return this book since it has the seal to your university, but it looks like I was wrong. Well, if you'll excuse me…"
"Wait a minute!" When Takeru tried to move away, suddenly Youhei grabbed his arm, stopping him in his tracks. "What's that book?"
"I don't know the details, but it's titled 'History of Super Sentai'. It has a rather confusing detail." Takeru replied.
"Wow. Can I borrow it?" Youhei asked, looking at the book with some enthusiasm, "This is a pretty unusual book! This could get interesting."
"Huh…"
"I mean, come on! It'd be a waste if you throw it away, right?"
"Well… alright." Takeru answered as he handed the book, "Now if you'll excuse me."
"Hey! Where are you going?" Youhei asked him as Takeru walked away.
"To the bathroom." Takeru casually answered before he walked away. Before Youhei could give chase, he then realized that his supposed break time was over and he had to go back to the college for the next lecture.
After the lecture was over, with nothing much to do, Youhei went outside and then sat below a nearby tree and opened the book that he got from Takeru, reading it.
'Super Sentai… Wait, we used to call ourselves Sentai… didn't we?'
He reminiscences the moments he spent with his friends; Honoo Riki, Yamagata Daichi, Hino Shunsuke and Morikawa Haruna; all of them fighting the Bouma tribe as the Turborangers. After the battle concluded two years ago, both went their separate ways, attending different universities to fulfill their dreams, in which they kept their own Turbo Bracers to remember their friendship. Daichi and Shunsuke were doing well, though Youhei heard that Riki and Haruna started dating months ago. Although Youhei himself used to flirt at her; he decided to let go, as he knew Riki is the perfect match for her.
'Maybe I should arrange a reunion party one day.' He thought, reading further after the Turboranger entry in the book. He was surprised on seeing how many Sentai teams that preceded him. 'Wow… so these guys kept the future safe after all our efforts? Cool!' Youhei kept reading until he reached the Shinkenger entry, which shocked him.
"Shinken Red… Shiba Takeru…? !" Youhei was shocked. The guy he just met was a Sentai warrior from the far future. Why was he here, in the past timeline? Youhei also remembered that shortly after that one quake, his Turbo Bracers started acting weird, as if giving him more power.
'What's the meaning of this? Seelon has already departed, we're Turborangers no more. Does this mean…'
However, that thought was cut short when there are more yelling this time, coming from the art room of the college.
The Shield Bouma has returned, and while his troops attacked any innocents that get in the way, he made his way to a huge glass shield that was shown inside the art room.
"Hahaha… this is it! This is that shield!" The Bouma said, picking it up, and then absorbing it, "With this, I'm even more invincible!"
"That's far enough, Bouma!"
It was actually Takeru, standing in front of the door to the art room.
"You again? Brat, you never learn, do you?" Shield Bouma taunted him.
"I'd say you're overestimating yourself." Takeru said, slowly moving to him, "I won't let you do as you please. Prepare."
"SHODOPHONE! IPPITSU SOUJOU!"
With the brush strokes, Takeru then morphed into Shinken Red.
"What? ! You… are you those damn Turborangers? !"
"Not quite. I am…" Shinken Red said, drawing his Shinkenmaru.
"Shinken Red. Shiba Takeru."
"Shinken… Red? What's that, a Turboranger wannabe?" The Bouma taunted again.
"I told you, I'm not a Turboranger. I'm a Shinkenger." Shinken Red said, pointing his Shinkenmaru forward while he slowly walked, "Here goes!"
"Wular soldiers! GET HIM!" The Shield Bouma ordered his men, which they quickly stormed Shinken Red.
As he began fighting, Shinken Red realized that the Wular soldier fought differently than the Nanashi Renjuu he used to fight. However, such difference won't make him back down, as the fight raged on to the school's outskirts, while any innocent people ran for their lives, not wanting to get involved with the chaos.
Just then, several Wular soldiers held hands each other and turned themselves into a ball, charging and catching Shinken Red by surprise. 'What technique…!'
"Hahaha! Got caught off-guard, didn't you?" The Bouma taunted, "Wannabes are still wannabes after all!"
"Well, that caught me by surprise." Shinken Red said, putting his disc on his Shinkenmaru, "But that doesn't mean I don't know how to counter it… REKKA DAIZANTOU!"
Summoning his huge sword, Shinken Red prepared for the Wular soldier to come at him again. When they rolled up again, he instead swung the sword in a similar style of a baseball, knocking them away and turning them back to their humanoid forms. When more Wular soldiers tried to gang up at him, Shinken Red swung his sword in full circle more traditionally, generating flames on his wake and burnt the Wular soldiers to crisp. He then dashed to the Shield Bouma and slashed him once, knocking him away for several feet.
"You brat!" The Bouma yelled in frustration, "You will regret that you chose this day to face me!"
"I've heard that many times from people like you who would get destroyed soon." Shinken Red said, "Maybe you're not a Gedoushuu, but I'd surmise that the usual extermination method works anyway to you."
"Give it a shot!" The Shield Bouma beckoned as he pulled out the shield he pulled the shield just took from the art room, from his body. "Shield Boost…!"
With that, an aura covered the Bouma. Shinken Red ignored it and attacked anyway, but even his Rekka Daizantou was deflected effortlessly. "What..? !"
"Did you see that? ! My defenses are completely impenetrable! No sword, no matter how big, could cleave me!" The Bouma taunted as he started attacking Shinken Red. He could only defend as his swords were rendered useless.
'Damn…! If only there's the Inroumaru… or perhaps the Mogyuu Bazooka…!' Shinken Red lamented the fact that some of those treasures were lost after the quake phenomenon. He still wondered where they went, but he had to deal with this one first. Without his vassals, he couldn't even access the long range Oozutsu Mode.
Just then, he saw several Wular soldiers turning themselves into balls and assaulted the nearby innocents.
'Damn! The Kuroko isn't here!' Shinken Red decided to abandon the fight with the Shield Bouma and tried to protect the innocents instead, but the Bouma jumped in front of him, barring his way.
"You're not going anywhere!" The Bouma punched Shinken Red back.
'Ggh! At this rate, the innocents would…' Shinken Red lamented as he saw the innocents getting attacked, with no one to defend them…
In which suddenly, Youhei arrived and once again fended off the Wular soldiers.
"You…!" The Shield Bouma cursed.
"Youhei…" Shinken Red muttered.
"Shinken Red… no. Shiba Takeru." Youhei said as he continued to fight off the Wular soldiers, "Why didn't you tell me your identity? That you're one of the Sentai team from the future… The Samurai Sentai Shinkenger?"
"You read that much?" Shinken Red was surprised at Youhei's attentiveness, "I didn't know you'd go that far. But I thought you might get confused."
"Of course not!" Youhei replied back as he threw another Wular soldier, "There's a lot I'd like to ask, but that can wait… For now, let's fight together!"
Shinken Red was silent. At first he thought he'd be alone, but now, a former Sentai warrior lent him a hand. Perhaps his quest to uncover this mystery wouldn't be so hard if he had allies.
"Bouma! Not only you raided my college, you also hurt the innocents for no reason! I cannot forgive that!" Youhei pointed at the Shield Bouma angrily.
"LET'S GO! BLUE TURBO!"
Youhei put his hands forward and clicked on his Turbo Bracers, and in a short time, he turned into his alter ego… Blue Turbo!
"Turboranger…!" Shield Bouma cursed at his tribe's old adversary.
"Prepare yourself!" Blue Turbo ran towards the Shield Bouma and began fighting him bare-handed, which seemed to be more effective than fighting swords.
'Wow.' Shinken Red thought, 'Perhaps he's more vulnerable to fists. Well, this will be worth a shot.' With that, Shinken Red soon joined Blue Turbo in attacking the Shield Bouma with just his fists and feet. Even though the Bouma still mounted resistance, at least he's not deflecting attacks, making efforts to attack more productive.
"Hah! You think just fists are enough to beat me? !" The Shield Bouma taunted.
"Ugh, he's persistent…" Shinken Red grunted.
Just then, Blue Turbo noticed something behind the Bouma. He then said, "I know. This is the only chance!"
He then took several steps back and made a dash before jumping up, landing to Shinken Red's hands, which he pushed upwards, throwing Blue Turbo even further high.
"CHESTO!" Blue Turbo yelled as he gave a flying kick to the Shield Bouma, which pushed him backwards towards a big rock behind him. One of his shields smashed the edge of the rock, causing it to crack.
"AGH! NO! NO! MY BACK!" The Bouma yelped in pain, running around.
"Well, if metal weapons won't work against you, I guess your weakness was displayed by nature itself!" Blue Turbo said.
"Hm, that shield on its back… It has a crack." Shinken Red noted. "It should be his weak point. You know a way to get around it?"
"Yeah. But he seems pretty determined to guard his back." Blue Turbo nodded.
"Well… I'll give you an opening then." Shinken Red then ran to the Shield Bouma and started fighting the Bouma, again with his fist. Knowing this, Blue Turbo ran behind the Shield Bouma as Shinken Red grappled with him.
"Now! Do it!" Shinken Red commanded as he struggled to keep his balance.
"Right! Once he's hit, stand back!" Blue Turbo said as he pulled his sidearm, the Turbo Laser, and his weapon… "J-GUN!"
He then combined both his Turbo Laser with the J-Gun, forming his personal weapon…
"J-MACHINE GUN!"
With that, Blue Turbo shot down a barrage of bullets aimed to Shield Bouma's cracked shield on his back, which greatly wound him. Shinken Red jumped away as the bullets hit the Bouma. Though the Bouma tried to turn away, covering his weak spot, Blue Turbo didn't stop shooting, which caused the Bouma to eventually explode.
After putting his guns to his side, Blue Turbo put a V Sign with his right arm. "VICTORY!" he exclaimed. Shinken Red only walked near him and offered his hand.
"Thanks for the help."
"Yeah, no problem!"
"This brings this chapter to a close."
Takeru walked alongside Youhei until they reached the college. While there, they spoke about their adventures and battles as Shinkenger and Turboranger respectively.
"Whoa, even when your battles are as Samurai, you even get these cool gadgets?" Youhei exclaimed in awe, "Wow, the future sure looks promising!"
"It's all thanks to you protecting the past so we could fight." Takeru replied back.
"Yeah. So… what are you gonna do, now?" Youhei asked, in which Takeru was silent. He probably would try to search the rest of the Shinkengers for the moment and find out how to get back to his time. However, he had a feeling that this wouldn't be done so easily.
"Well, I probably would stay around in the Shiba House. Though, I'll keep a look out on the Bouma as well."
"That's great! I know I can count on you!" Youhei was quite ecstatic, "Well, if you'd like, here's where I live." He then handed down a card, which mentioned an address. "I'll try to contact the rest of my friends, so…"
"HAMA-KUN!" A female voice was heard from behind, it was a female classmate of Youhei. "There you are! The meeting will begin soon, stop slacking and come with me!"
"Well, good luck, then…" Takeru said, waving goodbye as he started moving away.
"R-right… I'll see you soon!" Youhei replied back as he was dragged away by his friend.
It would appear that Takeru was stuck in the past timeline. And he has met a warrior who used to be a Sentai warrior. However, how will he find out how to get back to his timeline? What destiny awaits him here?
Super Sentai vs Super Sentai… will continue at Act 3.
