Super Sentai vs Super Sentai
Author's Note: Holy crap, this took kind of long. Don't worry, I'm still planning for finishing this whole saga. It's a big one. Maybe it's because I realized that the recap episode format is actually harder to make than I thought. But regardless... Good or bad, here it is!
ACT 30: Battle Chronicle
It was a very fine day for the Kizuna to fly around the clear skies with the sun showering its light to the Earth. The Super Sentai, basing themselves there, were always on guard in case their collective enemies were causing chaos in case they weren't satisfied with their failure to break the spirit of Gai last time, by reuniting him with his murderer.
And they did not even make any moves.
At all.
And so, without any other things to do, the Super Sentai, in spite of keeping their guards up, were able to resume their normal activities. Youhei resumed his college activities, while Miki also resumed her studies. Both Takeru and Mako sparred together to hone their skill, with Mako actually cooking and even Takeru had to admit she has been improving. Remi took Dai for a walk, letting Dai enjoy the good times with several Earthly activities. Gai took his motorcycle for a ride, and occasionally visiting some casino and challenging and winning his games, and using his games to get some of the best drinks he could think of.
Sayaka, aside of occasionally answering to Mako's questions about cooking, also did some window-shopping and resuming her research. However, in the middle of her research…
'Huh? What is this? A mail for me?' Sayaka noted as she opened her mailbox and noticing that there was a new message for her, 'Wow. The future looks bright, with nifty things like this… So practical.' She opened the mail and started reading it… 'Akihiro? Wow, we haven't heard from him… Though this is something we've got to do ourselves, he's done enough… Hm…'
As Sayaka continued reading, her face started to become more distressed as her message was not exactly a good one.
'Oh dear, I've got to inform the others for this.'
"So… what's the big idea here, Sayaka?" Everyone gathered in the meeting room, after being amassed by Sayaka. All the eyes were set towards the lady as she was preparing herself to speak.
"Well, see… I got this message from Akihiro…" Sayaka started.
"Akihiro…?" Mako said, confused, as she did not recognize that name.
"Right, you weren't there when we learned of him." Takeru figured as he looked at Mako, "I'll make it short. He's the one who summoned us here for this important battle."
"Oh, right…" Mako nodded, before asking another question, "So… that prophecy about Seven Colors… he made it?"
"Well, probably." Remi added, "I mean, he did help out AkaRed and the others in their ongoing battle with Rufecil."
"Speaking of that name… I haven't heard about those two." Miki commented, "I wonder, maybe… maybe it's just me being silly, but… maybe we were being baited into a red herring or something? That he might have ulterior motives, or the relations with Rufecil are…"
"Aw, don't be so down like that, Miki." Youhei cheered her up, smiling, "Regardless of his intentions, those villains like Jarmin or Radiguet remain a threat to all living beings. So, regardless of the plan, stopping those guys is a right thing to do."
"Yeah, I guess I am just being silly worrywart." Miki then resigned, but relief entered her heart that she knew she was fighting for the right cause. She finally turned towards the one who started this call, "So… what does Akihiro's message say, Sayaka?"
"Well he said he needed information about our battle chronicle so far." Sayaka explained, "And he's afraid that if he doesn't get them… well it might give Rufecil an edge."
"An edge given to Rufecil…" Takeru was quick enough to deduce what the message implies, "It will mean that it's an edge given to Radiguet's group."
"Damn, then we can't let them get that!" Gai said as he smashed his hand to his palm, "Then let's get on with it, guys!"
"Okay, but how do we send those chronicles anyway?" Dai raised a question, "I'm not sure we even know where his address is…"
"Well, that's nothing to worry about." Sayaka assured him, "Thank goodness our efforts have bore fruit, because now we get some future technologies including this thing called 'e-mail'…"
"Well, I see what you mean…" Mako said, noticing that because Sayaka was taken from the time after Gozma's fall, technologies such as internet or email hasn't been invented yet. She then added further, "But if we slack off… who knows how the past will change for humanity, and perhaps even such technologies might be turned nonexistent…"
"That can only mean one thing." Miki added with enthusiasm, "This is our battle as well to protect humanity! We cannot give Radiguet any more opening. Let's begin right away…"
Meanwhile, Remi could spot Youhei lowering his head, "Huh? Why so down, Youhei?"
"N-nothing…" Youhei sighed, "I just never thought the day will come when 'fighting for the good' means writing some history…" Just as Youhei said that, he noticed that Remi was glaring at him, whipping himself back to shape, "H-hey! That doesn't mean I have a bad memory, you know! I'll give my all, trust me!"
"Uh huh, sure thing… And here I thought you were just freaking out that this is similar to studying, something you were bad at." Remi noted, "Get ahold of yourself, you're in college."
"Why thank you, Miss Teacher." Youhei replied with a bit of a snark on his tone, but Remi thankfully wasn't in the mood to prolong this.
"So I'd say we should begin with… our leader." Gai then looked at Takeru, "This all began from you, right? The first guy from the future…"
"I guess I should." Takeru then concentrated his mind, recalling the past. And as one by one the warriors spoke of their tales, Sayaka began to write things on her notes. "It all began in a normal day. An Ayakashi being spotted, and there's this quake… And suddenly I am in this world, along with that History of Super Sentai book. Then I took it to…"
"Me." Youhei followed, "That surprises me, y'know. I thought that I was just minding my own college days, but then the Bouma reappeared, then Takeru came… The weird thing is that I thought Takeru was just your mere 'time traveler from the future', but then…"
"Took us quick enough to realize that this isn't a simple time travel scenario…" Takeru then looked at Miki, as Sayaka continued to take notes from what was said so far.
"Yeah, then you guys met me." Miki continued on Takeru's tale, "Again, the situation was that I bumped into Takeru and noticed that Deathdark resurfaced. He and Youhei helped me out to drive away the Deathdark monster, then by coincidence I found out that I would be a next door neighbor for Youhei. But after that, I had Takeru and Youhei accompany me doing some patrolling."
"That's one sense of dedication, man." Dai commented with praise, "Just met two similar people and you just drag them to the usual patrolling duty."
"Well, I can't help it." Miki replied back, shrugging, "That's how we Goggle V rolled. Though it surprised me that our next encounter wasn't just any normal encounter."
"Uh huh. Because they next met me." Gai continued while pointing to himself, "Though not exactly in the best moment. I was ripped from the grave by some Vyram bastard and they controlled me to fight those three. Thanks to them I was free from their control and kicked that bastard's ass… but…" At that point, Gai stopped and hung his head low. At that time, he didn't know about it, but after the adventures…
"Gai." Takeru looked at Gai assuringly, like trying to tell him that it's going to be all right. The Jetman just sighed as he continued.
"Look… I know it sucked, getting to know that I wasn't being 'alive' all along, but I didn't know about that back then." Thankfully, as he spoke more, the tone of his voice got better, "Still, that won't stop me. You can be assured of that."
At that moment, Sayaka stopped a bit in her writing, realizing that Gai was looking at her. She knew what that meant. "I guess I'm next. I think that's about the time I decided to gather Takeru, Youhei, Miki and Gai. I managed to get the point across, let them met Akihiro and we knew what's going on with this world. That's the time we banded together as a team. Though we also noticed the arrival of our enemies."
"Let me guess. At that point… hmm…" Remi spoke and tried to think, "It's just… Juzou, Jarmin, Mazurka, Radiguet and Ahames for you?" Sayaka nodded in response.
"We have harsh battles, but at that time, we also strengthened our bonds and try to at least develop further from what we were back then." Takeru noted as Sayaka began writing again.
"Yeah, I remember. I tried to ditch you guys, but then I saw the consequence if I did." Gai recalled about the event where he nearly got convinced by Jarmin to leave the team by themselves, "If people die here, they die in the real world. Protecting this world becomes as important as protecting people there."
"Well, good thing you did…" Miki commented, "We also had to confront some of our weak points too. Takeru with his… haunted house, I think?" Takeru nodded quickly.
"Hm… Well it's just rumors I heard from Genta back then… when he got paralyzed in fear about sushi." Mako commented, reminded of the past events, and tried asking Takeru about it, "Takeru… so, haunted house was your unsuccessful attempt to lift off his fears back then?"
"Yes, just continue and not make this too long." Takeru quickly cut that off after agreeing, looking back to Miki, "I suppose our next challenge back then was you… and Juzou?"
"Indeed." Miki nodded, "I was really naïve back then. Deathdark was doing evil things back then, but I never thought that I'd meet downright irredeemable people that chose to be evil… I thought my naïve attitude would be a hindrance, but I managed to get through that."
"… You know, guys. Compared to you, mine feels a little… underwhelming." Youhei sighed, after hearing the previous tales, "I was just getting… inflicted with fear towards women, though you guys helped me get over it. Would that count as a development?" And there was a silence filling the room, in which Youhei took it well enough, "No? Good. That's what I thought as well."
"No development or not, that's not something to feel shame over." Sayaka tried to cheer him up, "I didn't quite develop as well, remember? It just happened that I got tricked by Radiguet next…"
"How did he trick you, really?" Mako asked curiously, as she also experienced Radiguet's cruelty severely before she met the rest.
"He… pretended to be a kind man and got on my good sides, causing a rift between me and my team…" Sayaka tried to recall the experience, although she still shuddered at the thought, "Thank God Gai was there to wake me up. Still… that was just…"
"Still nothing compared to what he did to Miki next." Gai continued. He knew that it'd be too painful for Miki to recall that, so he continued on her stead, "Radiguet turned her mother into a monster, forced her to fight against her mother, and then killed that mother right in front of her."
"My God…!" Dai gasped in shock, hearing that, "How come I never… Uh… um…" He was nervously sweating as he looked at Miki, "I… I'm sorry to hear that…"
"That's all right… I've shed all my tears from that." Miki assured him, still staying calm, "Though that's not the end of the series of tragedy…"
"Yeah… After that, Ahames managed to corner us and escape to somewhere." Youhei continued, "To stop her further plotting… Sayaka pursued her and seemingly lost from us. We thought we lost her."
"She must've gotten to where Lee Keflen was." Dai guessed.
"It still hit me hard back then that I ended up agreeing to sacrifice a friend." Takeru recalled, "I ended up leaving them altogether…"
"Yep, then we searched high and low, when we…" As Gai continued on that, he looked at the next person of focus.
"Huh? Oh, right! So that's what you were doing when I met you the first time!" Remi exclaimed, knowing that this time, it's her turn. "I was just returning from the trip back to Earth with my family when suddenly I was transported here. I hope my family is still all right after all these days. I mean, I met you guys, at least just Youhei, Miki and Gai first, here."
"Yeah, and you kinda helped us get Takeru back into his good spirits." Youhei added.
"Hm." Takeru nodded, trying to recall what happened next, "I suppose the next series of events were something light, maybe just Remi adjusting herself to fill up the void left behind by Sayaka."
"Oh, can't forget how much she suddenly felt inadequate that a monster took advantage of it." Gai suddenly added while his face formed a grin, "I had to knock some sense of her back then, inside a monster's stomach."
"Oh, wow. Did that really happen when I was away, Remi?" Curiously, Sayaka eyed at Remi and asked, "You got some… interesting experience."
"Uh huh…" She just nodded in response.
"That is followed by another incident when you guys were left unable to transform… and I was being held hostage by a monster that has great vengeance against both me and Youhei." Miki continued, "I'm grateful that Youhei made up his mind and worked on to get me free and allow me to participate in fighting that monster. But that…"
"You know, Miki." Mako suddenly interrupted, while looking at both her and Youhei, "Maybe I'm just seeing coincidence, but you and Youhei seem awfully really close together… Something going on with you two?"
"Bwuh!?" Youhei's eyes widened as everyone started looking at him, "N-no, nothing! We're just friends… right?" He then looked at Miki, who's also getting nervous at that.
"Y-yeah, of course! Let's just move on, this is an important part!" Miki tried to change the subject by continuing the chronicle, "Exactly after the battle, a helper came around…"
"Yes. It's Red Falcon, Amamiya Yuusuke." Takeru continued, "I guess it's not just our team who was in this world. We heard rumors that Radiguet was plotting something in his Academia Island. But the encounter with Yuusuke… well… that led us right back to Sayaka."
"And alongside her, me." Dai continued, "We freed Sayaka from the clutches, got back to our world, and… uh… Sayaka?" All of the sudden, Dai was scratching his head, feeling a little confused.
"Um, what?" The lady in white responded in kind.
"You know, I've got this feeling since before. We did claim that we remembered fighting side by side with Yuusuke and some others, right?" Dai started, "How long has it been…?"
"I… I don't remember, to be honest." Sayaka also gave a doubtful answer, "All I remembered was somehow about the time I got into that world where you first met the rest of the guys, and that's it… The rest has been kind of blurry… It's like Yuusuke has been fighting this long before us…"
"Eh, no need to sweat the confusing details for now. It'll get you guys nowhere." Youhei encouraged and cut down the confusing discussion, "Once we got back from that… I guess Lee Keflen ended up joining Radiguet's cadres. And uh…" He looked at Remi for a bit next, "What about your enemy?"
"Oh! Right, Doldora!" She realized that she missed out that part, "It was a short time after I met you guys. But who knows, Radiguet might've been keeping her for quite a bit. But what's important is that… well, Yuusuke gave us the Super Sentai Ball once all of us seven gathered…"
"So, that's how you got that tool." Mako commented, noticing on how they got the weapon, "I heard it was a legendary weapon."
"Yes. Similar to the weapon used by the very first Sentai, the Gorangers." Takeru added, "And I suppose it links with that prophecy of seven colors."
"I know that. Let's skip all those curse thing for now. I have another question." Mako then continued, "Beforehand, what did you use to defeat enemies?"
"Good ol' brute force. Hey, if it works, it works." Gai gave a quick answer before reprimanding by looking at someone, "Anyway, Dai, isn't what we experienced afterwards something really important?"
"You mean, meeting that ridiculously selfish and egotistical commander?" Dai knew what Gai was referring, but for some reason, he felt like to miss the point by purpose.
"Gaah! You just have to remind me of that ass Ichijou…" Gai grunted in annoyance as a response.
"That commander, huh." Miki noted, with her head slightly down, "Yet another reckoning to me that sometimes, even mankind can have their worst traits shown visibly." She then raised her head normally, to show that she's not going to be down for so long, "Still, they're not the overall face of humanity, and it's still worth to fight for them. Especially because in that same day… Well… we found Dai's long lost father, right?"
"Of course." The mention of Dai's father, Kenjiro, brought smile on him. He knew that he would have his original home once this is all over, "I'm sure he's doing fine now."
"I'll go check him out later, when I have time." Sayaka noted, before continuing, "And I think after that one, I got over a lesson about 'trying to loose up.'"
"Yeah, and showing me how much behind that prim and proper look, you've got the tenacity of a daring tiger." Gai commented, when Sayaka just looked at him curiously, "W-what? I wasn't being sarcastic or playing with double meaning here!"
"Then we met up with a friend of Yuusuke. Dyna Black, Hoshikawa Ryuu, I believe." Miki continued, reminded with the warrior that looked like her old friend, "Though I believe that he had the biggest impact on you, Gai."
"Huh. Yeah. That was when everything about my status imploded on me and really, if you're not at all shocked, raise your hand." Gai offered, as he remembered how he found out that his resurrection was a 'fake' one. Of course, none present raised their hand. "None? Good."
"No normal men could be more surprised." Takeru continued, "But just after that, we got sent into… what would be the real world where we originated, but only years in the past."
"So that happened to you as well?" Mako noted, in which Takeru looked at her in confusion, "Takeru… remember what I said about meeting seven fine people that helped me defeat an Ayakashi in Hawaii? It's surprising that you might be experiencing the same…"
This struck Takeru with a silence. All that Mako reported might not be just mere coincidence. But even then, he had no further idea on how to wrap things up as of now. "Let me just continue." And so, he decided to just go on with the recollection.
"I teamed up with another Sentai Warrior to help you guys. I believe it was Momoko, also known as Pink Mask."
"You know, she's really a good girl." Youhei noted, even if the time was short, he still remembered how they spent their time with Momoko, "I just wonder if she's okay."
"She's okay, I'm sure." Takeru assured him. "With her help we came back to the real world, but awaiting us there…"
"Me." Mako sighed, the experience with Radiguet was a bad one, but she knew that it's her turn to explain, "Radiguet got ahold of my parents and forced me to do his bidding and attack you guys. I was nearly on the verge of giving up altogether… thanks to you guys, I managed to hold that thought to eventually cancelling it." She then looked at the rest, and smiled, "Thank you, everyone."
"Of course we're glad to help, Mako." Remi answered smiling, but afterwards, her tone became more serious, "But is it just me or afterwards, their plans started to get more severe? Like how they messed with my head into thinking that Dai was Chevalier…"
"Oh definitely." Youhei chimed to that notion, "And they really started getting good in breaking spirit. I knew I was heavily crushed when Jarmin broke my Turbo Brace, laid down how much I failed to protect a friend of mine, and how the concept of Turboranger was hypocritical…" And at that point, everyone was looking at Youhei attentively, with concerned looks, prompting him to correct things, "Hey, that's something I got over, okay? I'm not making a big fuss out of it anymore and I'll fight on for peace! Though you can heavily thank Mako for that."
As Youhei looked at Mako, she just smiled in return, "You're welcome. Though I thought what happened next was… ugh…"
Knowing what they went through after that one, the girls shuddered. "Do we really have to chronicle this…?" Miki sighed.
"Oh this one. I certainly remembered…" As Gai opened his mouth, he started to get stared by the ladies fiercely, "Huh? But… you're gonna have to write this whole thing down, right? For Akihiro?"
Sayaka sighed in resignation on hearing this and prepared herself to write further as well as explaining things. "All right. We went to the beach, with some… very daring swimsuit, under the prospect of having a day off…" As Sayaka said this, she saw Dai lowering his head, he was realizing that the whole thing could have been avoided if he did not take the invitation, "Dai, there's no need for that. It's not your fault."
"Oh… right, then."
"All right, I'll continue." Sayaka noted, "Radiguet managed to ambush us, and then got us all girls captured… while wearing those daring swimsuits because we could not find an extra on site…"
"Uh, you sure are very detailed about this…" Youhei commented, noticing that Sayaka was struggling between being serious and having her face colored beet red.
"The mere thought of being captured while revealing your skins too much would be too much." Mako added, before continuing further, "Hey, can we girls just join in this explaining? We're on this too."
"Huh? Oh, sure." Sayaka could breath easier at this point, she didn't have to do this alone. Even Miki and Remi also nodded in agreement,
"Well… we saw something horrible, about men turning into hundreds of worms from inside out, part of Radiguet's plan…" Remi continued, still remembering the nauseating sight she was forced into when she was in captivity, "Then we saw that happening to you boys…"
"Oh…" Takeru nodded. However, at this point, even the boys shuddered, like they also felt a bit of a scare about this.
"We managed to get out thanks to an unexpected action of Juzou and Jarmin, though." Mako continued, but at this point, she was hanging her head low in embarrassment, "But to retrieve you guys and our transforming devices, because we're simply running out of time and idea… well I ended up creating a distraction, all while using this… 'sex appeal' and taking advantage that I was in a very revealing attire…"
Normally, Youhei and Gai would've been very aroused on imagining this thing. However, they decided not to do it, for somehow, they could sense a very fierce and overbearing presence coming from Mako that could swallow them whole if they said anything funny or expressing the aroused feeling. Mako then continued.
"So you guys realize, just how… stupid and embarrassing that was? I knew it was out of necessity but still…!"
"I know that, but we promise that we'll never use that thing again. Unless absolutely necessary, or running out of time like before." Miki added, "On hindsight, yeah it was pretty embarrassing… But thankfully, we managed to pick up our spirit and work on even without you guys, defeating the monster, thwarting the plan, and restoring you guys…"
"Now that you think of it…" Youhei finally braved himself to speak his mind, "Yeah, I know how women really feel disturbed or embarrassed if they have to reveal their skin too much, but… You're not the only one who's extremely disturbed on that event, you know?" The other guys nodded in agreement on this.
"Huh, really, boys?" Remi then challenged, "Pray tell, what could be more disturbing than such inappropriate usage of sex-appeal?"
"Oh, I dunno…" Gai continued, "How about being stuck there, unable to do anything but to watch and feel how those worms devour your body from inside out and how you could not do anything about it, and no amount of super powers were gonna save you that time?"
And at that point, even the ladies widened their eyes and after a bit of a silence, they also started shuddering, acknowledging that the boys felt really disturbed in the whole event, not just them. "Yeah, maybe you thought we were just being unconscious, but no…" Dai concluded.
"Look. This is just… getting too long." Takeru finally spoke up, coming up with a conclusion, "How about we just agree that these are all very disturbing events for all of us, so once Sayaka write this down to, we shall never speak of it again?"
"Right!" In unison, all the team members said and nodded, and waited in silence as Sayaka wrote down the events, for the last time, in her notes.
"I… think we're a bit closer to the present time, right?" Remi was the first to speak after that silence trying to do away with those disturbing events, "I guess I could say that afterwards things might get smoother. We met the second Yellow Four, Yabuki Jun, after all."
"I know that, but it comes with a warning as well…" Miki added, "I never thought that seven colors prophecy contains danger when someone deviated from it… Like having two Pink warriors use them a lot…"
"I know that. But no matter what…" Takeru assured them, "I will not lose any one of the two of you."
"You've grown, Takeru. This is not something you might have said back in those days." Mako commented, noticing how Takeru has said such thing, while in the past, he used to be extremely aloof. The Lord of the Shiba house just let out a small smile.
"People grow after all."
"Yeah, speaking of growing, the next thing that happened to us was… about me and that Okina, the guy who killed me." Gai added, "I suppose it's not just me who grew up from not only my rebellious phase, but also me being dead all along. That guy too, coming to terms with it and becoming a more peaceful man."
"Yeah, and if I guess it right…" Sayaka concluded, "We're starting to gain more confidence and momentum even in the face of their ploys. With that said…" She then closed her notes, already finished taking notes. "Here we are, right now."
"Finished noting, huh?" Dai commented, "So… you're going to send it through this thing you called 'e-mail'?"
"Yep…"
And after converting the written notes into text document, a few clicks and the chronicles were sent to the address given by Akihiro. "And done! I hope this will deny whatever edge Rufecil may have." Sayaka commented.
"Yeah. Evil triumphs when good men who should have been capable do nothing after all." Youhei added, then he looked at Takeru, "Say, Mr. Leader. Don't you have something to say about how we made it this far?"
"Don't even hope for an unnecessarily long cheesy lines." Even as Takeru said that, he did prepare for something to the rest as they stood facing him, "We made it this far, but not for losing. We must win this, for the sake of many…"
Just as the other six nodded in agreement, the alarm of Kizuna started ringing off. It was a signal of their time to spring into action. There's only one command that Takeru could think of.
"Let's go."
In a very familiar quarry, two figures among with a bunch of Grinam soldiers and Zolor soldiers were gathering, seemingly to build some sort of device in there. Observing the construction were none other than Radiguet and Lee Keflen. "This is a daring strategy." Radiguet noted, "And should we succeed…"
"'Should', you say? How pessimistic that word sounds." Lee Keflen noted, "My plan is fool proof. And this open field is the perfect location for it."
"Hmph… and now…" Radiguet slowly said, and in a sudden, he pointed towards a direction to his upper side with his sword, "It's time to test it upon those Sentai!"
Just as he pointed there, the Super Sentai arrived there, readying to thwart whatever they're planning. "That's far enough." Takeru noted.
"You're building yet another device to hurt many, aren't you?" Dai accused, but all he met was silence, "No matter. We will still destroy it anyway!"
"Come try if you can, then!" Radiguet challenged the rest, and as he raised his hand, other squads of Grinam soldiers and Zolor soldiers gathered.
"Maybe there could be a trap. But frankly, I don't care. I'll get through it no matter what." Gai reckoned as he cracked his knuckles. He then turned towards Takeru, "C'mon, let's do it!"
"Hm." As Takeru nodded in agreement, he drew his Shodo Phone and the rest prepared to transform.
"Ippitsu Soujou!"
"Blue Turbo!"
"Goggle Pink!"
"Cross Changer!"
"Change Mermaid!"
"Five Yellow!"
"Prism Flash! Shut Goggle!"
And once again, the team formed and prepared for battle…
"Shinken Red! Shiba Takeru."
"The same, Pink! Shiraishi Mako."
"The Samurai Sentai authorized by the Providence…" "Shinkenger! Go forth!"
"Blue Turbo!"
"Goggle Pink!"
"Black Condor!"
"Change Mermaid!"
"Five Yellow!"
"Green Flash!"
"We are… Super Sentai!"
There was no further words needed. It was something they'd do in normal times, charging down to fight against evil. The Super Sentai engaged in a battle against Radiguet's forces, but what would prepare them against a nefarious plan by the evil genius, Lee Keflen? Charge on, fight, Super Sentai!
Meanwhile, somewhere far away, it seemed that the whole battle has been recorded and watched by someone else. The man's face was shrouded by darkness of both the surrounding and the dark hood he's wearing, but his mouth was at least visible. "Heh heh… everything… has been going according to plan…"
Just then, there was a beeping sound from his monitor. "Oh… that must have successfully sent. Very good. Just one further step for the realization of the plan…"
Then the man went up from his seat and walked towards a hallway, leading to a rather wide hall where in the center was something covered by curtains. The man merely released the curtain, revealing a cross, where a girl in her late teens, wearing a black coat with several white line and a few pink on it… was unconscious and crucified there.
"My precious belle…" In spite of the girl being unconscious, the man went ahead and put his hand onto her cheeks, pressing on it and like trying to get her to face him in spite of her being unconscious. He continued to speak in a sinister tone, like someone who has successfully dominated her.
"You and your friends would pay even heavier price than just your separation, both ways. And so will the others that come before and after you… and so will the rest of those worlds…"
Super Sentai vs Super Sentai… will continue at Act 30
Author's note: And... whoa. That's a double cliffhanger. First there's Lee Keflen's plan, and there's this ominous hooded man who had captured a certain girl. I won't say who the girl is, but you can guess, maybe a Sentai warrior or just some random schmuck picked up on the streets. Regardless, there's also suspicious omens that maybe... just maybe... the Sentai team was duped by another force? Commence the speculation of 'Is Akihiro legit good or actually an evil bastard?'! Mwahahaha!
I think I'll concentrate on the second team mainly until they can catch up to their own recap episode. Until then, safe blessings to you all!
