I'm still alive and I survived my exams, but the GPA still sucks and it always does but anyway, enjoy the chapter!
"Nina, where are we going?", Masumi asked Nina for the thousandth time as she and the other Rangers with Akira, Kaiden, and Static, followed the latter into FAUSD's Hangar.
Nina let out a laugh, "You're an impatient one, you remind me of Matsuda!".
"Come on! You said it's a nice surprise and I want to know!", Masumi argued.
"Won't be a surprise if I told you.", Nina glanced at her and winked before she looked ahead.
"Your sister is mean.", Masumi grumbled to Ran, Kaito, and Shinichi.
"Welcome to our life!", Kaito grumbled, wanting to know what's the surprise too.
"We're here!", Nina exclaimed.
The Rangers looked ahead and their jaws dropped with Akira and Static. It was a large futuristic spaceship, with the colors of the old UFO Akira, Kaiden, and Static arrived to Earth upon.
"We used the materials of your UFO and built you your own Neo Spacer.", Nina told the three.
Static blinked at her, before they rushed towards the ship followed by Akira and the Rangers, all of them excited to see the Spacer from the inside.
Kaiden and Nina chuckled at their attitudes, "They're acting like children.", Nina chuckled.
"The Rangers technically are.", Kaiden joked.
"Hard to remember that with their attitude.", Nina pointed out.
"You didn't have to do this Nina-san, I know you definitely suggested this.", Kaiden said gratefully with a smile.
"It's the least we could do to them as thank you, and the same goes to you Kaiden, alongside Akira and Static.", Nina replied with a smile, "Consider it a thank you from us.".
"I'm the one who should be thanking you, FAUSD Earth, for being the first to arrive during the Eden Scorch War, especially you, Furuya, and your late friends. What you've done back then, is still being told on Eden, from what I read in the files.", Kaiden replied.
Nina smiled softly, recalling the times she and her friends, the Magnificent 7, fought on Eden 10 years ago, and had accomplished incredible feats back then, not just for Humans, but for any FAUSD agents. What those 7 had done, tens or even hundreds of agents couldn't do, and that showed how capable and incredible they were, and why Rei and Nina are the top agents.
Nina then recalled the words Kuroda had told her and Rei days ago.
"Since The Yokomizo twins, Morofushi, Hagiwara, Yamato, and Uehera are still the Super Soldiers team, with Irene joining them, and Morofushi leading them, while the Van Helsigns are the Hunters team with Alaina in the lead, all of them in common in terms of their capabilities and abilities, you and Furuya can't continue as a duo. A team has to be a minimum of three members in FAUSD, and maximum 20, if we count those who work behind the scenes, and maximum 10 on the ground, but the last two rules rarely apply, since the most membered team we've ever had were 14.", Kuroda explained.
"What do you want to say?", Nina asked with narrowed eyes.
"You and Furuya, need to find at least five members for your team.", Kuroda said.
Rei's eyes turned cold while Nina replied coldly, "No one is taking their place, no one can, no one will.".
"They would've wanted you two to move on and continue working properly.", Kuroda pointed out.
"All of our missions as a duo were a success, whether in the NPA SB or in FAUSD.", Rei pointed out as he crossed his arms.
"Until now, but some missions require more members.", Kuroda pointed out, "I personally think the Akai Brothers with Araide, Miyano, and Hondou would be a good addition to the team, but you're going to need to find two more, since Araide and Miyano spend their time more in the hospital.".
"You're ignoring our decision.", Rei pointed out with a raised eyebrow.
"You're the ones being irrational. Even I, the Chief, still work with my own team and never go anywhere without them; your parents and my wife, and we added Sera to the team.", Kuroda argued.
"Chris-san, Dan-san, Mary-san, Cerine-san, and you… I feel pity for whoever would come in your way…", Rei commented dryly.
Nina, seeing that Kuroda wasn't going to change his opinions, decided to play along, "Fine… We will do it.".
Rei raised an eyebrow at Nina's words while Kuroda deadpanned, "You're just playing along, aren't you?".
"Whatever makes you say that? I'll genuinely think about it.", Nina said innocently while tilting her head.
Kuroda face palmed, "You really are an Academy Award winning actress's child…".
"See you later, Hyoue-Ojisan!", Nina said teasingly as she left the office.
"Don't call me that during work- and she's out…", Kuroda trailed off.
Rei however, was wondering about Nina was planning to do to keep the situation as it is, or was she truly thinking about recruiting new members to their team.
"Come on, the surprise isn't over yet.", Nina said once she returned to the present day and entered the ship, followed by Kaiden.
"SO COOL!", Static, Kaito, Masumi, Heiji, and Shinichi cried simultaneously as the ship drove by autopilot mode to an unknown location they didn't know, but Nina did, the group was looking down at the fields and ocean beneath them from the ship's windows, and they were beyond amazed.
"Looks like we arrived.", Nina said after a couple of minutes, motioning with her head at the front window of the Spacer.
The group's eyes widened at the sight of a tall building, with silver glass lining it, and on top of the building was the symbol of the Neo Savages' Rangers.
"N-neechan, is dat…", Heiji trailed off in disbelief.
"Yes it is, welcome to the Neo Headquarters, your personal base of operations!", Nina announced theatrically.
The Spacer landed on the top of the building, and the walls formed around the roof, the roof now changing into the hangar for the ship. The doors of the Space opened and the Rangers with Akira and Static rushed out of it, and into the roof door, going down the stairs until the next doors opened automatically, and their jaws dropped.
It was a large metallic silver rooms with a round table, with seven chairs colored with the Ranger colors, with the symbols of their elements, and across the table were three other chairs, colored matte black, while on the walls were videos and of their adventures, with each Ranger having his own video behind his chair.
"Welcome to the Command Room! Or floor in that case.", Nina said once she and Kaiden arrived, "I guess you can already tell where you guys will sit from now on.".
"This building is seven floors, if you count the roof, which is the hangar for the Spacer. First floor is the entrance hall, second floor is the medical floor, third floor is the lab & workshop for scientific and technical works, fourth floor is for your personal rooms, including your Zords, fifth floor are your, and any other new team member from FAUSD's personal rooms alongside with the bathrooms and kitchen, with extra rooms if you want to add a library or a gaming room, and the sixth is this floor.", Nina explained as she laughed a bit at Kaito who sat on his chair and discovered that it had wheels and could spin, so he started spinning himself.
"Comfy…", Akira and Static chorused once they sat on the matte black chairs, leaving the one in the middle empty.
"Although it's only seven floors, the floors have high ceilings and are spacious, so that's why the building is big!", Nina pointed out.
"You really didn't have to do all of that.", Kaiden replied, but feeling grateful nevertheless.
"Anything for our protectors!", Nina winked.
"I really do look badass in battle.", Masumi commented as she watched the footage of her own battle.
She and the Rangers then shared a look before they summoned their Zords, "Savage Zords, Unleash! Partner Mode!".
The eight Zords appeared and looked around in excitement before Shinichi tuned to Nina and Kaiden, "We'll go check out our rooms!".
"Us too!", Akira and Static chorused.
"AFTER we are done!", Nina scolded them, freezing them all in their places from her tone.
"Now you're acting like Kaachan…", Ryu rolled his eyes before he motioned towards the command table, "Come on, we've got no time to waste.".
The Rangers with Kaiden, Static, Akira, Dan, Ryu, and Nina stood around the Command Table as Static pressed a few buttons on the control panel, displaying a hologram of planet Earth.
"It wasn't that hard to locate the Electro Gauntlet… Considering that it's causing a storm a country known with high electricity production.", Static explained.
"China.", Nina deduced, and she noted how the Rangers looked at each other, "What is it?".
"Um… Don't Chinese People dislike us after what our country did in the past?", Ran pointed out.
"Yeah, and Korea too.", Nina answered calmly.
Heiji deadpanned, "Is dat yar way of tellin' us da identity of da second agent who will help us?".
"And the third is Indian, before you ask.", Nina shrugged.
Saturn and Masumi groaned.
"Let's hope he or she doesn't notice we are English.", Saguru mumbled.
"Last thing we need is being judged and treated awfully for what our countries did.", Masumi mumbled.
"You're overreacting, are you forgetting that those people have been FAUSD agents for years, so they've dealt with nearly every single nationality?", Dan pointed out while rolling his eyes.
"Is the Chinese agent the guy you mentioned before, Lei Chaolan?", Makoto recalled.
Nina nodded, "According to him, there has been some sort of weird activity at the Great Wall of China, which are those random storms there. He, Jae Kim, and Lakshmi Chopra will be waiting for us there.".
"Why do I have a feeling that every Gauntlet will be located in every continent?", Shinichi sweat dropped.
"That means mine is definitely in Antarctica.", Kaito pointed out.
"Mine is obviously in the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, no forest is greater than it.", Saguru mentioned.
"That leaves only the Hydro, Aero, and Geo.", Ryu noted.
"Aero an' Geo. I've deciphered my part of da riddle, mine is in Atlantis.", Heiji pointed out.
"Which reminds me, for some reason, we lost contact with FAUSD Atlantis recently.", Dan recalled.
"Atlantis is located near Australia so there goes one continent out of our calculations.", Nina said.
"So, if the Pyro was in Europe, Electro is in Asia, Hydro is in Oceania, Dendro is in South America, and Cryo in Antarctica, then that leaves North America and Africa.", Kaiden said.
"Mine is definitely in America, and most likely Texas, since it's part of the Tornado alley.", Masumi deduced before she looked at Makoto, "And that leaves the Geo in Africa.".
"And in a cave, if we go by the riddle.", Makoto agreed.
"It's a good thing we figured out the riddle and found out where might the Gauntlets be located, but we best hurry and get the Electro, so we can move onto the next one.", Kaiden said determinedly.
"Yeah… Something tells me that Atlantis did not lose contact willingly.", Dan said darkly.
Blaze sat away on the floor, his back resting on the wall, ignoring the glares he received from the other generals.
"I still don't understand why Akuma-sama chose him.", Kaguya mumbled.
"He is his nephew, his only living relative after all.", Genesis reminded them.
"A useless relative, at least Icarus and Rhea were something.", Kisame mumbled.
"Quite now, our lord is coming.", Reaper growled once he noticed Akuma approaching Blaze and sitting next to him on the ground.
"Someone's depressed.", Akuma started.
"I failed the mission… I didn't get the gauntlet before them… and the Red Ranger burned me… just like Akira had done…", Blaze growled at the last sentence.
Akuma remained silent at this point before he said, "You did your best Achilles.".
"Did I, Uncle Klaus?", Blaze mumbled.
"You fought the Red Ranger head on despite having trauma from facing a previous one, who hurt you and killed your parents with fire.", Akuma pointed out before he placed a hand on his shoulder, "If I didn't believe you were strong enough, I wouldn't have chosen you to be one of my ten generals.".
Blaze smiled at Akuma before he nodded silently, he then asked, "What are we going to do about the other five? Kerbeus, Vulture, Apophis, Nemean, and Ravenna have not contacted us yet.".
"Not to worry about them, they'll be here soon.", Akuma explained.
Blaze nodded silently before he asked with interest, "You said that another person will join us… I don't see why. We will be more than enough when the others arrive.".
"And what if I told you we will have a member that can shapeshift into any form, and being capable of copying their powers for a few minutes?", Akuma asked, knowing very well Blaze will be interested to more.
"There is a species with such capabilities?", Blaze asked in interest.
"Achilles, this world is vast, just because most planets are gaseous or rocky inhabitable, doesn't mean there aren't others out there with powers like us.", Akuma pointed out.
Blaze thought about it for a moment, if Feline and Canine had Humanoid-Animal-like hybrids, Winguardia had winged humanoids, Telekinea had telekinesis and mind control, Elementia had elements, Saurus were literal reptiles while Aquaria were literal fish, Dragonia and Eden used Aura and Chi, and Transylvania having vampires, frankensteins, and werewolves as species, who's to say there won't be a species capable of Shapeshifting?
"What species is he?", Blaze asked.
Akuma seemed to be smirking under his helmet as he said, "A Martian.".
"Well, I guess I'll be going with Rose this time.", Kaguya said out loud, bringing the attention of everyone.
"Not this time, my friend.", A new female voice said, making Kaguya frowned before she swiftly turned out.
Blaze looked at his uncle in surprise before he looked again at the five newcomers. The first was a male lion wearing red karate gi, bare foot. The second was a female woman with blue skin and a long white hair, bangs covering her right eye, while her black left eye was visible, and her long hair was tied a ponytail. She was wearing all dark purple; pants, boots, and jacket. The third was a man wearing a gold armor with a hawk-like mask covering his face, holding a mace, two large brown wings out of his back, the fourth was a black wolf humanoid wearing white gi, barefoot. the fifth was a green humanoid reptile with yellow eyes, wearing ninja-like blue clothes.
"Well, if it ain't my old buddies; Nemean and Kerbeus!", Kisame laughed out loud as he greeted the lion and the wolf, fist bumping with them.
"Now the Bloody Trio of the Chaos Army are back!", The lion, Nemean, laughed back.
"I can't wait until we work together again.", The wolf, Kerbeus, chuckled.
"You just had to butt in, didn't you?", Kaguya mumbled annoyed at the woman; Ravenna.
"You all had all of the fun 10 years ago while we were on the run after escaping FAUSD prison, it's only fair I receive a fair of the fun.", Ravenna shrugged nonchalantly.
"Glad to see you still alive, Apophis, I was worried I lost my hunting partner.", Reaper growled as he shook hands with Apophis.
"Asss if thossse agentsss could touch me. They got lucky once, it won't happen again.", Apophis hissed.
Genesis nodded at Vulture as he said, "Looks like my invention for you is still working, if its still intact.",
"Not a single weapon or armor you've done to me were destroyed, except the ones I destroyed willingly when they caught me, so they don't get their hands on it.", Vulture replied.
Akuma got up, followed by Blaze, and greeted the remaining of his generals, "Welcome back. I'm glad you arrived as soon as you received my message.".
"Whatever you say is my command.", Vulture said like a soldier.
Akuma nodded pleased before he looked at Ravenna, "Kaguya will handle the Electro and Aero Gauntlets, first with Rose and then with Chianti.".
Ravenna and Kaguya glanced at each other surprised before Akuma explained, "You four, I need you to work on something else entirely.".
"Is it more important than our plan?", Ravenna asked curiously.
"It is a part of our plan.", Akuma said slowly and mysteriously.
"I wonder what would Ran's zord be, and her weapon too.", Kaito said.
He and the other Rangers with the mentors, Nina, Dan, Ryu were on the Neo Spacer, which was set on autopilot. Alongside them were Jugo, Sango, and Chihaya.
"Probably a cheetah or a jaguar, something that fits the lightning powers.", Makoto guessed.
"Speaking of powers, how do you guys have powers?", Shinichi asked Jugo, Sango, and Chihaya curiously.
"My brother and I are Mutants, which means we were born with powers. Not inherited nor experimented on. It was our luck that our father was a FAUSD agent, or else we would've been killed for being freaks.", Jugo explained.
"Yeah, I was born with super speed while Jugo was born with super strength and a durable body.", Sango added.
"I'm actually a hybrid. My father was Human but my mother was a Winguardian, but I'm capable of retracting my wings anyways.", Chihaya explained.
"And, we have arrived, right next to the beginning of the great wall.", Nina said as she glanced from the window of the Neo Spacer.
Liadong, China,
"Cool Spacer, think FAUSD made them for them or Orionson came with it?", A female agent said as she watched the Neo Spacer slowly land further from them.
The agent had tan complexion with bright blue eyes and Indian features, long brown hair tied a ponytail.
"Honestly Lakshmi, I think FAUSD made it, doesn't look like Edenian technology to me.", The man next to her replied. He was a pale Korean man with greasy short hair and black eyes, his hands in the pockets of his FAUSD uniform.
"You guys are my best friends, and I surely didn't ask you to come here to evaluate the Neo Spacer, but help me with this.", A Chinese man said sternly as he pointed at the large dark cloud that was striking lighting every moment at the great wall.
The man had long black hair, braided, with a bang over his forehead, black eyes, and light complexion.
"Sorry Chao, you know how Jae and I like to mess with you.", Lakshmi snickered before she and Jae fist bumped.
"Good job though convincing the police that we need the area empty in order to fix the Walls.", Jae joked, knowing that the wall was closed since the stormy clouds appeared.
Chaolan rolled his eyes at them as he mumbled while rubbing his temples, "I'm surrounded by idiots…".
"I hope you don't mean me.", Nina chuckled as she approached the group, alerting the three that everyone had got off the ship.
"Welcome to our idiot group!", Lakshmi laughed as she gave Nina quick hug, before Jae did the same and then Chaolan.
"You don't visit much nowadays.", Jae pointed out.
"I'm raising four kids, mind you.", Nina pointed out, before she motioned at the group, "I suppose you remember the Yokomizo brothers and Chihaya.".
"They were one of our old instructors back then, how can't we?", Jae pointed out.
"Your sister is very popular.", Kaito commented dryly, looking at Ryu.
"Tell me about it, anywhere I go in FAUSD, she is very popular, and everyone has stories of her heroic feats.", Ryu mumbled.
Ran raised an eyebrow, believing that for a second she had just detected jealousy in Ryu's tone.
"And of course, the three legendary mentors.", Lakshmi greeted Kaiden, Akira, and Static.
"We really didn't do that much.", Kaiden chuckled.
"Feels nice being treated nicely by people though.", Akira commented, Static nodding in agreement.
"Now that the introductions are done, let's teleport there.", Chaolan pointed at the Great Wall behind him, "We'll walk carefully, since the lightning randomly strikes, and I want that cloud gone before it does any damage to the wall.".
Nina and Dan became alerted, followed by Chihaya, Jugo, and Sango, and finally Ryu.
"Morph, now!", Dan cried.
"Mask On!/Savage Change!", Everyone followed his orders without asking why, and Dan was right to do so, because the group jumped out of the way of an energy beam that was directed towards them.
"Nice reflexes.", Kaguya smirked as she flew down across the group, Rose and 20 Deathnoids appearing behind her, and a robot monster. The robot was a yellow tiger humanoid with long claws out of its knuckles.
"Ran.", Shinichi started, glancing at Ran before he motioned at the Great Wall. She nodded and used her super speed to rush towards the wall.
Kaguya growled angrily, "Oh no, you don't!", before she flew behind Ran.
"You guys handle the Deathnoids.", Nina said as she aimed her sword at Rose, her voice turning extremely cold, "That Sindel-wannabe is mine.".
'No wonder she's pissed, that woman tried to hurt Morofushi.', Dan thought as he readied his gun before he turned to the three new FAUSD agents, "Dragon, Tiger, Rajput, ready?".
Chaolan pulled out his Chinese Dao, Jae pulled out a stick that extended to a staff, and Lakshmi pulled out two rings that changed into two chakrams, before the three chorused, "Zhunbei hao/Junbiga doen/Taiyaar! (Ready!)".
Shinichi then smirked before he cried, "Vanguard Gauntlet!", The gauntlet appears on his other wrist before he raised its arm above his chest and cried, "Vanguard Change!".
The morphing sequence was before but this time, Shinichi extended his arms as lava surrounded him, forming the gold armor on his suit, before the spirit of the Scorpion arrived from behind him, and once it touched his head, the helmet changed into a scorpion's helmet.
"Vanguard Savage Red, ready!", he cried before he pointed at the robot monster, "I'll take you, kitten.".
"Name's Wolverine!", The robot roared.
"Wolverine wasn't a cat… Who's the idiot who made you?", Shinichi mocked.
"Those guys are so cool up close.", Lakshmi commented.
"Took the words right of my mouth.", Jae nodded.
"Can we please focus?", Chaolan complained.
"Don't give the Deathnoids a chance to attack. The limbs are weak, and they can be destroyed with their own weapons.", Kaiden said, before the groups charged towards each other.
Number 4 fired a beam of fire at Static, Akira, and Kaiden, but Static raised their arms forward, merging them together int one large energy cannon, before firing at full power. Number 8 and Number 9 who stood next to it, rolled out of the way before Static's beam could destroy them just like it destroyed their partner.
Akira gathered yellow energy in his hands that on increasing in size, until they were the size of a ball before he threw it at number 8 while crying, "Finish Buster!".
Once the ball touched number 8, it exploded, destroying the Deathnoid with it.
Kaiden charged at number 9, while evading the energy beam being sent towards him, and Number 9 flew high in the air, evading Kaiden's attack with his staff.
Kaiden narrowed his eyes before he surrounded his body with white aura, and jumped at incredible height, reaching the Deathnoid, his hands surrounded by white energy that resembled a dragon claw.
"Dragon Claw!", He cried as his hands pierced through the Deathnoid's chest, pulling out the heart core, before he pushed himself with his feet off it, sending the Deathnoid back to the ground, the red light in its eyes turning off.
Chaolan eyed Number 1 as both stood with their swords ready, before number 1 charged at Chaolan, and the latter blocked his sword attacks gracefully.
"You will not win.", Number 1 said.
"Wo bu tongyi. (I disagree)", Chaolan replied in Chinese as he swung his sword, and cut off the arm that held the Katana of Number 1, before Chaolan threw his sword high in the air.
Number 1 had wanted to kneel down and grab the katana, but Chaolan hit him with a one-inch punch in the chest, sending him one inch further from him, but the Deathnoid managed to remain standing on his feet.
Chaolan then started punching Number 1 in the face at his top speed, showing off his Wing Chun skills, before he caught his sword, and swung it, cutting Number 1 diagonally.
"Anything you can do, there is an Asian who can do better than you.", Chaolan smirked.
"Come on, basket head!", Jae cried at Number 6 as he swung his staff.
Number 6 ran towards Jae and swung his right arm to strike him with its electric saw, but Jae blocked it with his staff.
"This ain't a wooden staff, Babo! (Idiot)!", Jae smirked before he pushed Number 6 off him and slammed the staff on top of Number 6's head.
It had no effect on Number 6, but it made him angrier, so he swung both his arms, trying to cut Jae from the neck, but Jae fell into a leg split, and slammed his staff from into Number 6's right eye then the left, making him blind.
Jae then stood up and multiple slammed the staff onto the Deathnoid's body, before he used it to push the right electric saw arm onto the Deathnoid's chest, making it destroy himself.
"Experience wins.", Jae smirked.
"You've got shuriken, I've got Chakram, why don't we see which is better?", Lakshmi smirked confidently at Number 5.
"Pitiful human.", The Deathnoid replied before he fired the multiple shuriken at Lakshmi.
"I'll show you the skills of my ancestor whom I received my Codename based on.", Lakshmi replied before she threw her Chakrams at number 5 before she jumped high in the air, evading the shurikens.
The chakrams hit Number 5 but had no effect as they returned to Lakshmi's hands who were still in the mid air. Number 5 looked up just to see Lakshmi throw one of her chakrams again, slamming into the eyes of number 5, breaking them and making him blind.
"Haan! (Yes!)", Lakshmi cried as she landed behind number 5, cut off one of his arms with the other chakram, before she used it from the sharp end to stab number 5 in the chest.
"I win.", She said as the Deathnoid fell on the ground.
Jugo, Sango, and Chihaya stood against Number 3, Number 7, and Number 10.
Number 10 then became invisible just as white wings came out of Chihaya's back before she pulled out a stick, and an energy mace head formed onto the top of the stick.
Chihaya then flew high in the air just Jugo charged with a battle cry towards number 7, but number 7 fired his claws like him. Jugo jumped high and almost landed on number 7, hadn't the robot evaded.
Jugo then got up and slammed his fist right into the face of the Deathnoid, cracking it, before he used his other fist to go through his body, destroying the Deathnoid.
Sango used his super speed to evade the explosive ropes from number 3 as he laughed, "Too slow!".
Number 3 stopped for a second before he fired consecutive explosive ropes at Sango. The latter evaded the first before he used his super speed to catch a rope, charge at Number 3, wrap it around him and move away.
Sango waved at him, "See you!", and the rope exploded, destroying number 3.
Chihaya's eyes monitored the ground below until she spotted the footsteps being formed by Number 10, and she swooped down below, before she slammed her mace onto the head of number 10, forcing him to become visible.
She then pulled off the right arm of number 10, before using the gauntlet to slam it on number 10's head, completely destroying it.
~•~•~•~
Dan and Ryu readied their guns as they eyed the two Number 2s, and number 6 and 7, who readied their electric saws and retractable saws.
Both number 2s fired at the two and they ducked out of the way. Ryu then created with his gauntlets three blades on each wrist and blocked the attack from number 6 before he fired at his head, but the Deathnoid was not affected.
"Use the bullets of number 2!.", Dan cried as he ducked, evading the claw that was shot towards him by number 7.
"You make it sound easy!", Ryu cried as held onto the wrists of number 6, to prevent his saws from reaching his face before he moved him slightly to right.
The second Number 2 was reloading and aiming at Ryu from the side, so when he started firing, his bullets hit number 2, destroying it completely. Ryu took the chance and grabbed the broken saw and jumped, landing onto number 2's head with the saw, cutting down from his head until his bottom.
Dan smiled at his son before he ducked to avoid the second claw from number 7, but got up, grabbed the chain and pulled number 7, holding him from his neck, using him as a shield to take all the bullets that the first number 2 started firing towards him.
Dan then held the already chained claw, spun it in the air like a rope before he threw it with all of his might, the claw piercing through his chest, through his core, destroying it completely.
Nina eyed Rose intently, trying to come up with a strategy to beat her. Years of fighting had her learn what method would be suitable to fight against one or group; are they serious so they must be taken by one more? Or can be easily seduced by a wink? Or will need a full strategy.
But now she was facing a Magi, and that made her recall Alaina's conversation with her about the classification of Magi Powers.
"All Magi have superhuman conditions, and can use basic spells like levitation, flying, moving objects, manipulating objects, small basic elemental moves, but are greater moves can be classified to five classes; Booster; this resembles more the concept of Chi of boosting their physical capabilities. Blaster; like how Dragonians fire Aura. Conjurer: can conjure things out of the blue. Nature: can manipulate an element. And Special: an ability that doesn't fit in those three.".
"The normal is for a Magi to belong to one class but sometimes, the powers may be divided onto two different classes. For example, he can be 80% Booster but have 20% Nature powers.".
"And a Magi's number one weakness other than stronger hits, is Mana, even their own, especially if they were taken off guard.".
'Alaina said that woman is a Conjurer and a Booster, I better watch out for this.', Nina thought.
Rosé's hair strands moved up like tentacles ready to attack as chains appeared around her hands and fingers, extending by themselves.
"I'll enjoy killing you.", Rosé smirked.
"Please, you look incompetent to me. Good luck trying to touch me.", Nina scoffed, 'I wonder if she knows she got lucky with Takaaki because the man didn't use his Telekinean abilities, being a hybrid after all. That alone says something.'.
Rosé frowned before she shot her chains and hair forward towards Nina, but Nina rolled sideways before she charged towards Rosé.
She then heard movement behind her and knew that the hair and chains were chasing her from behind so he jumped up, aiming to have them hit Rosé. She landed behind her just as the hair and chains moved past Rosé and instantly wrapped around her, lifting her in the air.
Rosé let out an evil laugh, "Did you honestly think that would work on me?".
Despite being squeezed by both the chains and hair, Nina managed to say, "Wasn't… really… trying…".
Rosé then heard something beeping fast and noticed that a bomb was attached to her back, and it exploded, surrounding the area she was in in smoke, and forcing her to let go off Nina from the surprise.
Nina landed gracefully on her feet and grabbed her blade before she dashed towards the Rosé in the smoke and swung her sword.
Had Rosé not moved a bit, Nina would've cut her head off, but nevertheless, she slit her throat open.
Rosé gurgled as she covered the wound, using most of her Magi powers to heal the wound before she can faint or worse; die. That lead her to stand on one knee, her hair and chains disappearing.
Nina slowly walked towards her and raised her sword, ready to deliver the final blow.
Number 9 was about to fly while number 4 turned his body on fire, but Shinichi sent both his inferno chain blades through each of their chest, through the core, and both robots exploded into pieces, leaving only five Deathnoids.
"I'm leaving the other five to you, I'll handle Wolverine.", Shinichi said before he jumped above the Deathnoids and landed across Wolverine.
Wolverine charged with a roar towards Shinichi, his claws extended. Shinichi then raised his own fists, blocking the claws with his chain blades.
"I'll tear you limb from limb!", Wolverine roared.
Shinichi, however, joked, "You need to clean your teeth.".
His words caught Wolverine off guard, which gave him the chance to kick Wolverine away, before he extended his blades, holding the chains with his hands, before he started spinning and swinging the chains around.
"Fire Wheels!", He cried as the chains became on fire, becoming circular fires as Shinichi moved the chains.
"You think this circus act will be enough to defeat me?!", Wolverine spat.
"Yes, it will, kitty cat.", Shinichi smirked.
Wolverine let out a cry of anger before he charged towards Shinichi, and the latter charged back.
Both swung their blades and stood silent, their backs to each other.
Shinichi smirked as he stopped swinging the chains, the fires disappearing as the blades retracted.
Wolverine's eyes widened for a second before he exploded, completely destroyed.
"Hydro Vortex!", Heiji cried as he summoned his katana and clashed swords with number 1.
"You'll lose, I'm the better swordsman.", Number 1 said, but Heiji caught him off guard by grabbing the arm that held the katana, twisting it, forcing the Katana out of his hand.
Heiji dropped his own and held number 1's katana as he cried, "Ya still think so?!", before he swung the blade, cutting number 1 diagonally.
"Unbelievable.", Number 1 said before he exploded into pieces.
Number 5 started firing multiple shuriken towards Masumi who scoffed as she raised her palm, the shuriken stopping in the mid air.
"Not this time, buddy.", She said in English, "Wind Mirror!". She struck her palm forward, causing the shurikens to fly back at Number 5, struck it everywhere in the body, before it exploded.
Number 10 became invisible, and Makoto summoned his weapon, "Geo Slammer!".
He then tapped the ground with the end of the Hammer as he cried, "Mine Hole!".
The ground around him started having small explosions, leaving behind them a hole big enough for an average human to fall in and be trapped in. Makoto watched around him until he heard the sound of metal colliding with rock.
He turned around and saw some dust on the invisible number 10. He then swung his hammer, slamming it onto number 10's right arm, causing it to break from the body.
He then grabbed the gauntlet as he said, "We've trained further after our defeat, and now we know your weaknesses!", and slammed it on number 10's head, destroying it.
Number 3 fired explosive ropes towards Saguru but the latter summoned tree trunks from the ground, using them as shields as the ropes wrapped around them and exploded. Saguru kept on doing this until the smoke from the explosions blinded number 3.
Number 3 waited for a few seconds until the smoke cleared and fired again once he spotted Saguru but then he noticed that the rope didn't reach Saguru.
He looked down to see a green vine loosely wrapped around him, causing the explosive rope to leave his body, and be placed right across him.
"See you later, metal crap.", Saguru said in English before the rope exploded, destroying the robot into pieces.
Number 8 fired beams of electricity from his body towards Kaito, but the latter already had a dome of ice formed around him.
He then made the dome disappear before he charged towards number 8, evading the electricity attacks before he cried as he jumped, "Frozen Palms!".
He then landed with both his hands on Number 8's shoulders, and once his hands touched the shoulders; number 8 swiftly became frozen by ice, his body now an ice statue.
Kaito landed off the statue before he kicked it with his feet, shattering the statue into pieces as he said, "I knew this new move would be effective!".
"Savage Zord, Unleash! Partner Mode!", Ran cried as she summoned Raiga before she hoped onto her back, and then Raiga dashed sideways, evading one of the beams Kaguya fired at her from her hands.
"Come back here you bitch! I'm gonna kill you this time!", Kaguya cried angrily.
Raiga growled and Ran nodded, "Yeah I agree… She has anger issues.".
Ran then looked up at the dark stormy clouds that were striking lightning everywhere, and her eyes narrowed at one point.
Suddenly lightning struck down towards her, but Ran raised her right hand, containing the lightning in it, before the passed it through her body and fired it back with her left hand, towards Kaguya.
The lightning redirection shocked Kaguya and the woman barely had time to evade it.
Ran then looked up again and that's when she spotted something glowing faintly inside the clouds, and she recognized it from its shape; the Electro Gauntlet.
"Raiga, up!", She cried. Raiga growled before she jumped high as possible, and Ran jumped off her, diving right into the lightning cloud.
"What the?", Kaguya paused in her flight once she saw Ran's act, and narrowed her eyes, trying to look through the clouds.
Her eyes widened once she saw something flying at super speed towards her, and she evaded it, but that thing scratched her side, making her cry in pain as blood shot from her wound.
The clouds slowly disappeared as Ran landed down in front of Raiga, behind her a Jaguar Zord, and she had the same armor like Shinichi and she raised her hand and caught the thing that had hit Kaguya; a chakram.
"Like my new Vanguard Storm?", Ran smirked, feeling the rush of the new power in her.
Raiga smirked at the Jaguar Zord before nodding, the Jaguar Zord imitating her actions.
"What the…", Kaguya said in disbelief.
"Allow me.", Ran started.
Ran then performed some Karate and mma moves as she cried, "Electro Jaguar Vanguard; The Ferocious Ranger!", She then posed in a Jaguar Fighting style, the scene of yellow lightning striking and a yellow Jaguar appearing behind her in seconds, before crying, "Vanguard Savage Yellow!". A yellow-coloured explosion happened behind her.
"Another cat, huh?", Kaguya mocked as she landed on the wall, facing Ran and her two Zords.
"Raiken, Raiga, let's do this.", Ran said as she separated the Chakram into two, before the blades curved a bit, becoming dual blade-tonfa.
Both Zords roared just as the three charged toward Kaguya.
Kaguya spat before she fired a purple beam from her finger at them while crying, "Death Beam!".
Kaguya's eyes widened once she saw Ran swinging her arm, using the tonfa blade to knock the blast out of the way.
"W-What?!", Kaguya cried in disbelief.
"Tri Flash Dance!", Ran cried as she and the two Zords become yellow lightning flashes, striking Kaguya simultaneously and swiftly, and all could Kaguya see was yellow blur.
Kaguya let out a grunt of pain every time she would feel a hit, a bite here, a claw attack there, and a slash from Ran's tonfa blade.
Kaguya then jumped high and away, just as Ran was about to deliver the final blow.
She then saw that the robot monster and Deathnoids were destroyed, while Rose was down, and Nina was about to deliver the final blow.
Kaguya cursed under her breath before she teleported away with Rose, and Wolverine grew into an enormous size.
"Savage Zords, Unleash!/Zord Mode!".
"Zords Combine!".
"It's your turn now to show off your Megazord mode.", Shinichi told Ran with a smile, "You look dashing in that mode by the way.".
"What a flirty gentleman!", Ran chucked a bit before she nodded, "Vanguard Jaguar Zord, Combine!".
The Jaguar Zord folded his legs inside it, before his arms and tails detached from it. The tail attached to the Megazord's lower back, the arms attached above the other arms before claws extended, resembling Wolverine's claws. And the Jaguar body attached to the chest, acting like an armor.
"Savage Electro King Megazord, Ready!", Ran cried as the Megazord readied its claws, eyeing Wolverine.
"Copycat!", Wolverine spat as he charged towards the Megazord.
"Us? You're wrongly copycating a famous character!", Kaito pointed out.
"Copycating? Is that even a word?", Makoto mumbled in confusion.
"Don't bother.", Heiji, Masumi, and Saguru chorused.
Just before Wolverine's claws can touch the Megazord, it disappeared in yellow flash.
"What?", Wolverine said in disbelief.
"Here we are!". Wolverine turned behind him to see the Megazord, but it disappeared again in yellow flash.
"No, here we are!", He turned sideways to see the Megazord, but it disappeared again in yellow flash.
Wolverine eyes' widened once he saw multiple-colored flashes moving around him before the Megazord appeared across him. Wolverine's body then fell down into small pieces, having been cut down by the Megazord, before it exploded.
"Savage Rangers, Victory is ours!", Shinichi cheered before he placed a hand on Ran's shoulder, "I know you could do it.".
"I had you supporting me, so thank you for that.", Ran said warmly slightly blushing.
"And den, Dey kissed!", Heiji interrupted the sweet moment between them before he burst into laughter.
Ran blushed profusely while Shinichi turned to Heiji angrily, "What a way to ruin a moment Hattori!".
"He had to, you're in public, you can't do that.", Saguru slightly smirked.
"Not you too Hakuba…", Shinichi mumbled before he turned to Kaito, "Your attitude is contagious!".
"I did nothing this time.", Kaito said in his defense before he shrugged, "But how were you planning to kiss her with the helmet on?".
"That would've been a sight to see!", Masumi laughed.
"Kiss Furuya-kun first and then mock me and my boyfriend.", Ran shot back making Masumi glare at her.
"You still think I have something for him huh?", She grumbled, still denying her feelings towards Rei.
"You are all children…", Makoto rolled his eyes.
"I'm glad we are done with this, but I honestly wanted us to spend more time together.", Lakhsmi said.
"Same, you guys seem like an interesting bunch, and it's not everyday that you get to spend time with legends and heroes.", Jae said.
"No need to become sad, guys. I'm sure our guests won't mind a proper tour of each of our countries.", Chaolan said, looking at Dan and Nina.
"I don't mind, you know I like to explore other countries.", Nina shrugged.
"I guess we deserve to celebrate after getting the second gauntlet.", Dan smiled.
Shinichi then smiled as he asked, "Can we go visit the Shaolin temple?".
Chaolan raised an eyebrow before he joked, "What? You don't want to explore the rest of the Great Wall because it's too long.".
Shinichi laughed, "No, it's not that. It's just that Ran is a huge fan and had always dreamed of visiting it.".
Ran blushed, feeling surprised yet elated that Shinichi remembered one of her childhood dreams.
"Well, we finish exploring the Great Wall, then we see the Shaolin temple, then the rest of China.", Chaolan nodded.
"Taj-Mahal and India next!", Lakshmi said while raising her hand.
"Gyeongbokgung Palace and Korea next, the best for the last!", Jae joked.
3 days Later after the exploration,
Everyone wanted to thank Nina again once they checked out their rooms.
For Akira and Static, their rooms were similar to their old Dragonian royal rooms, with the armors, weapons, and the large bed being placed.
As for the Rangers, their rooms were spitting image of their bedrooms, but twice the size, with a bed for the Zords to sit on (or a branched stick for Masumi's Zord). The room even contained their favorite books and movies, with a large tv screen, a desk with a computer screen.
Kaiden's room resembled that of a monk, a futon with a yoga mat, a place to hang his stick, and a large window for him to stare out at the beautiful view of nature and ocean down below and ahead.
"Kaiden-sensei, there is something I need to talk to you about.", Shinichi said as he approached Kaiden in his new room.
He then explained Blaze's face reaction to Kaiden when he burned his chest, and Kaiden remained silent for a few seconds before he asked Shinichi to bring the rest of the team with Akira and Static.
"Achilles Icaruson was born to Icarus Vegason and Rhea Shiba, but you now know him as Blaze, the 29-year-old and youngest member of the Chaos Army. Icarus was one of the best Edenian Warriors to ever exist, and his sword was inherited by his son, and Rhea was from the Shiba Clan, a Pyro Elementian Clan known for controlling the rare and powerful blue fire. Hence why Blaze has peak physical condition and strength, chi powers, and can use blue fire. He's a hybrid.", Kaiden started.
The Rangers caught on to Icarus's full name and Ran asked, "Is he Akuma's brother?".
"Fraternal Twin.", Kaiden nodded, "But before we go onto his story, let me explain something first.".
"The Power Rangers Neo Savages have been going on for hundreds of years since the discovery of the Neo Medallions, with different species being chosen every couple of years, either because the predecessors stepped down or died.", Kaiden started.
"Before the Transyl Rangers, who were chosen only months before the massacre that took my family away, 25 years ago, there were the Dragonian Rangers, they've protected the world for 20 years before they decided to step down, particularly the Red Ranger, since Dragonia had entered a civil war period, and he was the king back then.", Kaiden explained.
"Don' tell me it was Raizen…", Heiji mumbled in disbelief.
"Nah, it was our grandfather, King Akira III, a badass since he was chosen in his 20s and stepped down in his 40s, when I was still born.", Akira said with a proud smile on his and Static's face.
"The team continued operating without him until they stepped down three years later, and the Transylian Rangers were chosen, and then another three years later, they were all killed.", Static said solemnly.
"The six Rangers were found dead on Dragonia, while King Akira was found dead on his throne. A month before that, Achilles had the accident that changed his life.", Kaiden said grimly as he then told them what happened to Blaze when he was a child.
"And he thinks King Akira did this?", Shinichi asked with a raised eyebrow.
"He didn't though. Whoever was there either used some illusion technique or was disguised, for yes King Akira was known for techniques that resembled fire, the Heat Phalanx move of Akira being an example, but during that day at that time, I was with him at Eden, discussing the future of the Power Rangers since the Transyl Rangers were not trusted.", Kaiden explained.
"And he was raised by Akuma since then, and since the man was not just his uncle but the one who saved him, he followed him blindly.", Masumi concluded.
"That explains why he hates the Rangers so much, since he believes all of that happened because of a former Red Ranger.", Makoto added.
"It also explains why he faced Shinichi specifically.", Kaito pointed out.
"Could it be Akuma who had done that?", Saguru asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Akuma was with me that day, while meeting King Akira, and he had not developed this ability to mind control, so no one knows who killed Rhea and Icarus.", Kaiden shook his head.
The Rangers remained silent for a second before Ran asked with a low voice, "Do you think… do you think Blaze is redeemable?".
Kaiden smiled softly at Ran, knowing her nature for believing everyone deserves a second chance and that everyone has some good in them.
"I honestly don't know Ran, but I do wish, deep down, that he would realize the error of his ways, and join the good ways.", Kaiden said honestly.
