Okay, Chapter 4 here we go! But first I would like to answer a question from 54godamora. Yes the Power Ranger aspect of this crossover will come in when all the Sekirei's are winged, aka when the main Sekirei's get paired up with their designated ranger but don't you worry…I have something special in mind. So with that out of the way let begin.
Chapter 4
The Green Girl
The morning sun had risen and hanged in the sky above the city, causing the people to stir from their sleep and get ready for the day but as for a certain Power Ranger his day was about to get interesting.
Mike had woken up, all be it a bit groggy, and started to stretch out his limbs as he stood up. The reason for this grogginess was due to him having a lot of strange dreams, mostly about the strange child in the forest.
'Why does she need help, is something trying to hurt her or…someone' Mike thought
"Good Morning Mike" a very cheerful voice said
Turing to it, Mike was greeted to his friend and Sekirei partner Musubi. She was currently putting her bedding away while dressed in some…very interesting clothes. She was dressed in girl's gym clothes, with a white tight fitting t-shirt and very short shorts.
"Um, Musubi why are you wearing those?" Mike asked wondering where she even got those clothes
"You like them, Ben bought them for me, said they would do well for me" Musubi replied as she stowed away her bedding.
As for Mike, he couldn't help but scowl at his friend's antics, causing him to lowly growl under his breath.
'Darn it Ben! I swear I will freaking kill you!' Mike shouted in his head
Just then the two of them heard what sounded like someone working out outside. Walking out on the balcony, Musubi and Mike looked down the backyard. To their surprise they saw it was Miya of all people and with a sheathed katana in her hand. Miya then took a stance as her hand hovered over the handle then before they knew it; she then unsheathed the blade and slashed a single leaf in the air with ease making a clean cut. She did this again and again, each time hitting there mark which impressed the two greatly.
"Wow, she's good" Mike said, watching in awe at their landlady's skills
"I agree skills like hers are hard to come by" a voice beside them
Looking over, Mike saw it was Caleb on the other balcony who was also watching Miya train with an almost calculative look.
"What makes you say that?" Mike asked
"Trust me man, as the son to a samurai mom I know well trained skills and hers…are one the best I've seen" Caleb said as he turned to them, "Besides, seems I'm not the only one who agrees" Caleb added with a smile
Confused by this Mike then looked over at Musubi, only to see her in totally awe at the skills of Miya.
"Um…Musubi?" Mike asked, hoping she was okay
Suddenly Musubi then jumped off the balcony, shocking the hidden Ranger as she landed in the backyard and held her fists up to Miya.
"Landlady! Will you please spar with me?!" Musubi excitedly shouted
At first Miya was a little surprise by Musubi's request but soon she simply smiled and got back into her battle stance.
"Well right then, but I won't go easy on you" Miya said, which only excited Musubi more
"That's what I want!" she exclaimed
Musubi then charged at Miya, fists at the ready and began to swing hard at her, but Miya merely dodged the attack with ease.
"Wow, how much energy does that girl have?" Caleb asked, astounded by Musubi's enthusiasm
"Way too much for me to keep up, wait up Musubi!" Mike shouted as he started to run down the stairs of the house and quickly got to the backyard entrance.
Once he did, he saw both Musubi and Miya still going at it with Musubi still trying to hit their landlady and her dodging every attack.
"Calm down, you're going to hurt someone!" Mike called out to his Sekirei
"Oh relax there just having some fun" a semi-tired voice said
Walking up beside him was Uzume, dressed in nightgown and panties from when they first meet. Usually Mike would blush up a storm but right now he was more worried about Musubi then that right now.
"Yeah, but Musubi is super strong and doesn't have much control, she could hurt someone if she's not careful" Mike said worry present in his voice
Of course this only caused Uzume to chuckle at this and merely just gestured to the two sparrers right now.
"It's nice that you care but you worry too much just look" she said
Mike then looked and to his surprise, Musubi tried to go for an uppercut only to miss once again as Miya appeared right beside her.
"Your sides open" Miya said and bonked Musubi on the head with the handle of her katana
"See, everything is just fine, there just having fun" Uzume said
Seeing that small interaction was enough to calm Mike down and relax on the patio, but as for Uzume she couldn't help but look a little…sad.
"It's a shame really, because soon we will have to fight each other someday" she said making Mike look at her in confusion
"Why do you say that?" Mike asked
"Because were both Sekireis, it's our fate to fight after all" Uzume replied as she walked away
Mike couldn't help but frown at this, because during his time here at Izumo Inn him and his friends had gotten close to the other tenets and had become good friends so the thought of fighting any of them did not sit well with him or any of his friends.
"Well can't worry about that now, my new job a waits!"
(*****)
Mike was now at his new job, as a construction work of all things. Thankfully the workers were nice enough to give him the job due to his and his friend's money problem. So while Mike got his construction job, Arthur became a Librarian for the local library, Caleb now worked as a waiter for a restaurant and Ben became a museum host for all things dinosaurs. Good thing to because there rent was due soon, luckily it wasn't as high as there old place but still was there none the less and another good thing is that these new jobs payed some good money especially on Mike's end. Currently Mike was in the middle of digging up a trench in order to lay down the new plumbing for the building they were making and he was moving faster and better than anyone around him.
'Who knew fighting with a staff would help me with a pickaxe' Mike thought as slammed his pickaxe into the ground
"Break time everyone!" the boss shouted making Mike let out a sigh of relief
"Good, I need one after all that digging" Mike said to himself
Mike then found himself a comfy spot on some support beams as he took out his lunch.
"Okay, let's see what Miya made us?" Mike said with much anticipation
Opening the lid Mike was greeted by the sight of some very delicious looking rice balls, some panfryed chicken and a small salad to finish it off.
"Wow! I keep saying, Miya is going to take Caleb out of the cooking job" Mike joked as he grabbed his chopsticks
But before he could dig in, Mike couldn't help but feel like someone was looking over his shoulder. Turning to his left Mike was meet by another man wearing a sleeveless shirt, black jeans and had black spiky hair.
"Um, can I help you?" Mike asked the man but all he did was just stare at my food, "Um, do you want some of this?" Mike asked again which snapped the man from his drooling stupor
"Really, thanks man" he replied as Mike gave him one of his rice balls
As Mike and the man ate, Mike couldn't help but notice the weird look the man had on his face.
"This is…" the man mumbled which confused Mike
"What?" Mike asked as the man just stuffed the last of the rice ball into his mouth
"Ah never mind, so kid you in college or something?" the man asked as Mike shook his head
"Naw, I may be able to speak Japanese but I can't write it for squat, how about you?" Mike replied
"Yeah I'm in college, third year in fact" the man said until eyeing my lunch again, "hey that chicken look good" he said drooling again
"You can have some, there's plenty" Mike said as he was about to grab it
"Hey, quit mooching off of him!" a female voice shouted
Before Mike knew it the man that he was talking to was suddenly drop kicked and sent crashing to the ground. Looking at the assailant, Mike spotted a very familiar maid outfit and black hairstyle, all while shouting at the downed man.
'Is that who I think it is?' Mike thought as the girl stopped her ramblings
"Sorry about him, he as habit of mooching off people" the girl said
But as Mike looked at her face, he couldn't help but be surprised that is the one of the lighting twins, Hikari was her name from what he could remember.
"You again!" Hikari shouted, equally surprised
"Well if isn't Tweedledum and Tweedledee, how are you doing?" Mike asked in a taunting voice which seemed to annoy the lighting girl
"You little punk, I should zap you right here and now for what you put me and my sister through!" Hikari shouted as electricity crackled on her fingertips
"Go ahead, unless you want a repeat of last time" Mike said
Hikari then flinched at this and instantly retracted her lighting, looking away with a blush forming on her face.
"You just got lucky, that's all" she said with a pout as she crossed her arms
Mike then chuckled at her reaction, only to have his attention drawn by someone clearing there throat. Looking over he was greeted by Hikari's sister.
"Sorry about my sister, she can be violent at times" she said, bowing to apologize
"Don't worry about it, things like that don't affect me that much uh…" Mike said, insinuating that he doesn't know her name.
"Oh, Hibiki" she said
Suddenly the mooching man then wrapped his arms around the two Sekireis, one of hands reaching around and grabbing hold of Hikari's boob.
"Man what a small world this is, I didn't think I would run into another Ashikabi here!" the man said shocking Mike
"You're an Ashikabi too!" Mike said in surprise
"Yep, names Seo and these are my Sekireis" Seo replied with a smirk
"Arrh, Pervert!" Hikari shouted and zapped Seo causing him to shout in pain
'Uh…guess not all Sekireis agree with their Ashikabis' Mike thought
After lunch, both Seo and Mike got to work again as the sun started to set. Just in the distance Mike could see a dense forest of trees in the distance contained by a high wall. Right above the forest was a small group of helicopters with the initials of MBI painted on the side.
"What's going on over there?" Mike said
"What you haven't heard? About the Green Girl?" Seo asked which confused Mike
"Green Girl?" Mike asked
"Yeah, they sent an email to every Ashikabi in the city, check it out" Seo said as he showed Mike his phone.
Looking at it, it read "Deep inside the forest, you can make the Green Girl appear".
'Green Girl…I wonder if…' Mike thought until their boss spoke out
"Alright everyone, were punching out a little early today!" the boss said, catching both Mike and Seo by surprise
"Really why?" Seo asked as their boss pointed to the large mass of trees and the helicopters
"Because of those guys, everyone within a 2 kilometer radius of the arboretum as to evacuate" he replied
So with that said, everyone then left the construction zone as the boss closed up for the day. Mike was about to head home when suddenly Seo then grabbed him by his shoulders with a smirk on his face.
"Say kid, how about we go after the Green Girl huh?" Seo asked
"Well one my names not kid, it's Mike and second you really think that's a good idea?" Mike asked as the man just smirked at him
"Yeah sure, just need to get past those guys" Seo said pointing ahead
Looking at where he was pointing, Mike saw a squad of MBI soldiers guarding the entrance to the Arboretum.
'Well, if I'm right then I might be able to find that mystery kid in their' Mike thought
(*****)
Back at Izumo Inn, Mike's other friends had returned from work, all of them ready to have a good dinner.
"Miya, were home!" Caleb shouted into the house
Suddenly Musubi then came running up to him, looking quite concerned about something.
"Hey Musubi, what's up?" Caleb asked
"Is Mike home yet?" she asked, nervousness evident in her voice
"He's not home yet, huh, well I haven't seen them" Caleb replied
"Me neither, not on my route" Ben added
"Nope" Arthur simply said
Musubi then started to become more concern as she clutched something in her hands.
"Are you okay?" Caleb asked the Sekieri
"No, somehow I think something is going to happen to Mike and I need to help him, also he forgot this" she said showing what was in her hands.
It was Mike's phone, evident by the Zeo Gold ranger logo on the outer case of the phone.
"He's phone, must have forgot it this morning among all the excitement" Ben said
Hearing this Musubi then bolted for the door and down the sidewalk, leaving the other's in the dust…literally.
"Wow, cough, the girl can move!" Ben said in astonishment as the other's nodded in agreement.
(****)
Back at construction site, a bolt of lightning came crashing down and struck the tank that was guarding the entrance to the arboretum. Standing in the middle of the flames of the wreckage was both Hikari and Hibiki, now wearing there dominatrix costumes with Seo standing in front of them.
"So…you ready to go kid?" Seo asked Mike who just shrugged
"Sure, just one question, did you have to blow up the tank?" Mike said with a smirk causing the three to fall over anime style.
"Well…I thought it looked cool" Seo said with a guilty face which made Mike chuckle
After saying there piece, Mike, Seo and his Sekirei's entered the arboretum. Once they entered they were met with the densest forest in the world.
"Wow, this is almost like a jungle" Mike said surprised by the environment
"I know right, going to be hard getting through all this" Seo added looking around as well
Mike was about to add something to that statement until something caught his eye. Turning to it, he was surprised to see Kusano standing there and looked scared too.
"Kusano? Are you here somewhere?" Mike asked
The little girl then slowly nodded and pointed into the forest. In the distance Mike could see a faint green glow coming from ahead. Kusano then disappeared from Mike's sight.
"So, that's the green girl huh?" Seo said which shocked Mike
"You saw her?!" Mike asked surprised which Seo nodded to
"Yep, now why don't we go find her" Seo said which Mike nodded to
So all four of them then ventured into the forest, heading to the faint glow in the distance but along the way Mike couldn't help but wonder something.
"Hey Seo" Mike said getting the man's attention, "Why do you think that Kusano is hiding in this forest?" Mike asked which got a shrug from him
"Who knows, could be because she was almost forced to emerge" Seo responded
"Forced?" Mike asked, already not liking like how that sounded
"Yeah, you know that all Sekieri's have a destined partner right?" Seo said which Mike nodded to, "Well there are some dirt bags who will force Sekieris to emerge and make them there's just so that they can add more to their ranks" he said
Hearing that Mike couldn't help but clench his fist in fury at this, it was wrong on so many levels it was that same as making a slave. From the small time Mike spent with Musubi he knew that Sekireis were beings that lived by love and friendship so forcing them to be yours seriously left a bad taste in his mouth.
'If I ever get a hold of the guy who did this to Kusano, oh, he won't be able participate for much longer' Mike thought with a scowl on his face
Just then Mike then felt something, a cold and haunting feeling in his chest, telling him that something was…someone was in trouble! Mike then started to bolt through the forest, surprising the other three as they followed suit.
"Hey man, what's the rush!" Seo shouted
"I don't know, but I know something is wrong, I feel it!" Mike shouted back
"Really, and were following him…seriously" Hikari grumbled but Mike just ignored it
Looking ahead, Mike could see a small alcove made of tree roots and at the entrance was a blond haired woman wielding a scythe and at her feet… was Kusano!
"…if you won't come along quietly, then I guess I'll cut your legs off so you can't get away!" the scythe woman said as she raised her weapon
"Oh no you don't!" Mike shouted
He then jumped into the air and went for a flying kick. He then hit the scythe woman square in the back, sending her tumbling to the ground as Mike landed to the ground.
"That's what you get for trying to hurt a kid!" Mike shouted at the downed lady
"Big brother?" a small voice said, catching Mike's attention
Turning to the voice he was now facing Kusano, this time however she was not some ghostly dream but real.
"So…we finally meet" Mike said with a smile
"Hey jerk" a female voice said behind him, turning around Mike was meet with the scythe girl again, "My master has had his eye on that Sekerei for a long time, so you better back off!" she said as she raised her blade
Mike then quickly wrapped Kusano in his arms as to protect the little girl. The Scythe woman then swung causing Mike to shut his eyes as he waited for the pain…but it never came. Opening his eyes Mike was surprised to see a familiar woman in front of him.
"Musubi!?" I shouted in surprise seeing his Sekerei partner
"Oh hi Mike" she said in her usually happy tone
"Hey let go my scythe you skank!" The scythe woman shouted as tried to free her weapon from Musubi
"This thing is sharp and dangerous, so let's fix that" Musubi said
Then as simple as snapping a twig, she easily broke the tip of scythe off which caused the Scythe Sekirei to scream.
"MY DEATH SCYTHE, YOU BROKE IT!" she shouted as she started to cry a river over her broken weapon
'Geez I forgot how strong she is!' Mike thought as Musubi crouched in front of him
"I don't understand why you are here Musubi?" Mike asked as said girl smiled
"I came to give you this" she replied as she held out her hands which held Mike's phone
"My phone… wow thanks" Mike said with a smile as he took his phone back.
"Hey you witch; you're going to pay for what you did!" the scythe Sekirei shouted
She then swung her weapon at Musubi, causing a huge gust of wind to be blasted out and slammed Musubi into the tree walls.
"Musubi!" Mike shouted in fear as said girl groaned in pain
"Haha, come on you weakling show me what you can do!" Scythe shouted as she swung her weapon again
This time Musubi then dodged the attack and ran at her opponent.
"I will!" Musubi shouted as she delivered a hard kick to Scythe's face
She staggered for a bit but she quickly recovered and started to slash at Musubi again. She tried her best to dodge the attacks but unfortunately Scythe got a hit in on Musubi. She stood her ground but thewind caused the top part of her clothes to be torn to pieces revealing her breasts.
'What the freak! How does that even happen?!' Mike shouted in his head as he felt blood come trickling from his nose
"Wow just look at you, you're so pathetic now, almost matches your dull looking Ashikabi!" Scythe shouted in a mocking tone, which made Musubi frown at her
"You take that back, Mike is the best Ashikabi inside and out!" Musubi shouted back which made Mike blush
'I'm not that great' Mike thought embarrassed
Unfortunately Scythe's taunt distracted Musubi long enough for her to hit her again, causing the rest of her clothes to be ripped off and to blast back into the far wall now leaving her panties.
"Musubi!" Mike shouted after his partner, now more worried for her now, not caring for the naked state now
Knowing what to do, Mike then placed Kusano on the ground which caused the little girl to look in fear at this.
"Big Brother?!" Kusano said in fear
But Mike then patted her head and flashed her smile.
"It's okay Ku I'll be back just need to help Musubi okay? Mike said which calmed the little girl down as she nodded
With that done, Mike then ran forward to help his partner. Scythe then just cackled with glee as Musubi struggled back to her feet, covering her breasts with her arm.
"Oh looks like I missed one piece of clothing, that won't do at all…so I guess I'll have to remove it along with your head!" she shouted as raised her scythe to order to attack
She then stopped halfway when she saw Mike run in front of her, holding out his arms in a protective manner.
"Not going to happen lady, no one hurts my friends!" Mike shouted shocking Scythe
On the sidelines Seo and his Sekirei's watched, with said ashikabi looking surprised.
"Wow, kids got guts I'll give him that" Seo said
But he then noticed that his Sekirei's were quite, making him look over only see them with hard looks on their faces.
"What's gotten into you two?" he asked
"Let's just say that Sekirei is in for a world of pain" they said as they watched the fight
Scythe was quite surprised at seeing Mike stand in front of her like that but soon she just laughed.
"This is adorable, a useless Ashikabi protecting a useless Sekirei!" She said which angered Mike; "Now about you just stand aside so I can kill this skank and get my master's prize" she said brandishing her scythe
"Sorry, but that's not going to happen" Mike said holding up his fist as Scythe just laughed
"Really, and what can you possibly do to stop me?" she asked as Mike smirked
"This… IT'S MORPHIN TIME!"
Once again Mike's hands lit up with a golden light as went through the motion until ending with his arms crossed.
"Gold Ranger Power!"
After a bright light, Mike now stood in his Zeo Gold suit until he did his signature pose.
"What the heck!?" Scythe shouted in surprise
Seo was equally surprised when he saw Mike turn into what could be described as a superhero.
"Okay…didn't see that one coming" Seo said stupefied
Scythe was dumbfounded at the sight but shook it off she raised her weapon again to strike.
"So what, a stupid costume change wouldn't stop me!" she shouted and swung
But Mike then grabbed Musubi's free arm and became a black and gold flash and dodged the attack, appearing behind her.
"I think it can" Mike said as scythe growled
Mike then helped Musubi to her feet as she looked at Mike with a smile.
"Thank you Mike" she said as the gold ranger nodded
"Any time after all were in this together remember?" Mike said holding up his hand
Musubi then nodded, gaining a confident face as she grasped Mike's hand with hers.
"Together!" Musubi said
"Good, so why don't we take down this piece of work" Mike said
"Right, let's win this!" She said as they both faced down their opponent
"Fine by me, I'll take both of you out and leave with my prize!" she shouted as she raised her blade.
(Play: Zeo Theme)
Scythe then swung and launched another blast at the two but they easily dodged the attack. Musubi then came at her with a punch but Scythe then blocked the attack with her weapon but was caught off guard when Mike came from above and hit her with a kick to the head. Once she was stumbled, Mike and Musubi then hit with a double bicycle kick, following with a punch by both of them, sending the Sekirei flying into the wall. With a growl she then swung again at the two again with two wind blasts but Mike then summoned his Golden staff and blocked both blasts.
"Grrr, why don't you two just die!" she shouted as she swung
Mike and Musubi then dodged again and came at her from both sides, with Mike tackling her by her legs and Musubi hitting her from above with a shoulder bash sending her falling to the ground. Scythe then got back up to her feet, all be it a bit dazed and glared at the two.
"She's almost down for the count, time to finish this" Mike said as Musubi nodded
"Leave that to me Mike, just keep her still for me will you?" she asked Mike nodded in agreement
"You got it Musubi, Time for a Gold Rush!"
Mike then rushed forward and became a blur and dashed past Scythe with incredible speed. Suddenly she then cried out in pain as golden electricity sparked around her as she was paralyzed.
"Now Musubi!" Mike shouted
Musubi then jumped behind the Sekirei and grabbed hold of the back of her dress and ripped down, revealing her back and the Sekirei tattoo. She then placed her finger on it causing it to glow.
"By my fist of the contract, my ashikiabs' perils will be shattered!"
(End theme)
Once Musubi has said her chant, the tattoo on the Sekirei's back had vanished causing her to collapse to the ground. She went completely still almost as if all the energy was sucked from her body.
"How…could I…lose" she said as she went silent
Seeing her down on the ground, Mike then walked over to her and placed two of his fingers on her neck. Luckily there was a pulse but it was faint, which did bring some relief to him.
"Good work Musubi, you're not hurt are you?" Mike asked
"Nope I'm okay and I was able to protect my modesty!" she proclaimed as Mark just sweat drop behind his helmet
"Yeah…sure" Mike said in uncomfortable tone
(*****)
After getting Musubi some clothes and Mike powered down, they then made their way home to Izumo Inn.
"Were home!" both Mike and Musubi shouted as they entered the house
Then out of the kitchen came a worried Miya.
"Oh my you're so late, what happened to your clothes Musubi and who is this?" Miya asked pointing to Ku that was resting on Mike's back
"Oh yeah, she's my…cousin, yeah she got here last night and I went to pick her up" Mike said, trying to hind the fact that Kusano was a sekirei
"Oh I see, well I'm glad your all back safely" Miya said with a smile, "You must be starving, why don't you get washed up and get ready for dinner" she said as walked back to the kitchen
Once she left the room however Ben and the others then walked out from behind the corner as they looked at Kusano then back at Mike.
"She's not your cousin is she?" Caleb asked as Mike nodded
"Nope she is not" Mike replied
"Well…who is she?" Ben asked
Mike then looked at the sleeping child with a smile, already finding a kinship with the young girl.
"She's…my little sister"
