Hey guys! This is a thread with sub-stories that Kiryu and I are writing that are somewhat relevant to the main story, that take place in between other Accesses. This one is in between Access 11 and 12, so I hope you enjoy!

Access Extra 01: Lack Of Convention!

It was another boring day at the substitute CPU headquarters in Jordan's store. The Anon Army hadn't attacked in weeks, and the team was just doing what you'd expect them to do- Nathan was playing games on his computer, Kyle was making cardboard cut outs, Matt was just eating lunch, Will and James were updating the blog, and Reggie was flirting with Ai. Just as Reggie was about to hand Ai a flower, Jordan burst through the door. "STAND UP GUYS, WE GOT WORK TO DO!!!" All of them were startled, causing Nathan to close his game, Kyle to accidentally cut one of his cut outs in half, Matt to drop his fork, Will and James to accidentally upload the wrong picture, and Reggie to fall face first in front of Ai. "Ow...geez Jordan, what is it?" Jordan took out a letter and declared out loud: "We're gonna be manning a booth at an Anime Convention!!!" "Perfect Timing! I just finished making costumes for every one! But sorry Jordan, you startled me, so I kinda cut your mask in half." "That’s okay Kyle, we won’t be walking around in costume anyway." “What?!” Kyle yelled. With an angry look on his face, Kyle snatched what he had just made for Jordan, transformed into ModBlack and threw it into the air. With one quick shot from his ModPistol, Kyle lit the makeshift mask and costume in flames. "But it's the biggest convention right? Isn't there gonna be a lot of famous people there?" "Of course there will be!!! The Vocaloid group will be there!!! I'm not gonna miss Luka again!!!" "It wouldn't be too bad if we went. When does it start?" "Right now, let's go!!!" "Are you serious?!" "I've actually never been to a convention before. I hope I can have fun." Grabbing Ai's hands, Reggie looked into her eyes. "I promise to make this convention an experience you will never forget." Blushing and smiling at Reggie, Ai then realized that he had been holding around for a while. Flailing her arms around, Ai became frantic and yelled out: "Gomenasai! Atashi wa mada junbi ga dekite inai yo! I like- I mean-" Placing his hands on her shoulders, Reggie looked at her and said "Daijoubu desu" while smiling. "Okay Romeo, let's go," Jordan said, grabbing Reggie by the ear and dragging him off.

...

The Los Angeles Convention Center. The usual home to Comikaze and Anime Expo, the convention "Sugoi-Con" was the newest convention. A trial run convention, Sugoi-Con comprised of some of the largest names in Anime, Manga and surprisingly Tokusatsu. Long lines of people went from the convention center to Little Tokyo. For every 10 people in line, there was at least 3 in costume. The ModRangers, Ai, Will and James were all in the dealer's line, just behind a dealer that sold "My Little Pony" merchandise. "So far, I'm not liking this," Ai said, looking disappointed. "Don't worry Ai, I have an idea!" Lowering himself to Ai, Reggie whispered something in her ear. When he moved away, he noticed her face was red. "Sorry, it's just that what you said got me flustered...I mean I don't mind if it's you...I mean...ah...I uh..." "Leave her alone bud," Jordan said, smacking Reggie on the head with his clipboard. "Hey, we're up now." Jordan walked over to the counter, and began to sign in. "Operating a booth, huh? What store?" "Anime Junction. I'm the manager." "Wow, the manager! So you're gonna manage your booth by yourself?" "Nope, got my friends behind me to help me." "Uh...what friends?" Turning around quickly, Jordan found himself standing alone, all the boxes he made the others carried stacked up in a neat fashion. "Why those guys..." Jordan said, clenching his fists. "Go ahead and give me the badges for them!" "Ri-Right away sir." Taking the badges in hand, Jordan pulled out his ModPass. "Think you can sneak away from me huh...Oh you're sorely mistaken! ModPass, access Tracker. Code 01Red, pinpoint 02Blue, 03Violet, 04Green, 05Black, 00A, 00W, 00J." On the ModPass, different lights appeared, showing each going off in separate directions, with two groups of two shown. "Got you now..."

...

Nathan was waiting in line, autograph book in hand. He was just about to approach the MegaForce booth. There, all the actors and actresses were signing and talking to fans. Ciara Hanna, MegaForce Yellow, was all he could see. Sheepishly, he thought to himself "I hope she doesn't mind a guy my age going up to get her autograph." Looking back up at her, he saw her give a little boy a hug and wave to him goodbye. He found her looking in his direction and hid behind his autograph book. After about 10 minutes of waiting for his turn, he found himself face to face with her. A smile on her face, she asked "Who do I make this out to?" "It's for Nathan, who is in a load of trouble." Recognizing the voice that spoke before him, Nathan turned slowly to see Jordan with his arms crossed. "Uh...yeah...what he said..." Handing his autograph book back to him, Ciara waved as Nathan was dragged off by Jordan in a chokehold.

"One down, six to go!"

...

Kyle was waiting for his chance. The Vocaloid Table, with the person who helped provide vocals for Luka. Wanting to get a recording just of her saying several phrases, Kyle stood impatiently among a large crowd. Using his ModRanger training, Kyle leapt into the air, and jumped and stepped on the heads of his fellow fans. Making his way to the table, he found himself just in front of the group. "Excuse me, can you ple- whoa!!!" Mid-sentence, Kyle found himself tackled by security. "Hey!!! What's the big deal?!" "Sorry buddy, but we saw what you did. You need to be taken in for questioning!" "Wha..bu...no!!! Luka!!! Please say something into this recorder!!!" "He has a weapon!!!" The security officers piled onto Kyle and lifted him away. Jordan walked into the scene and found himself stunned. "I'm not gonna ask. Okay, next one seems pretty close."

...

Matt was enjoying the lunch he didn't get to finish. Having been to the convention the day before, Matt already had seen every booth. "Hmm...something isn't quite right." Walking into a changing room, Matt came back out in one of his own cosplays- Enter from Go-Busters. "Well, that's better." Pulling out his fork, Matt was about to dig in when he felt a tap on his shoulder. "Geez, I know my costume is impressive, but I'm trying to eat now." "I'm not here for pictures." Turning around, Matt saw Jordan with an angry look on his face. Taking his fork, Matt scooped up some of his food, chewed and swallowed. "Je ne parle pas l'anglais." "Nice try." Taking Matt by the arm, Jordan dragged him off as he chewed. "Two groups...I'll go for the one in the cosplay area."

...

Will and James were taking pictures and interviewing some cosplayers. "Excuse me Miss, but what character are you cosplaying as?" "Why, Malshina from Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger of course," the woman said with a smile. "Hold that pose right there!!!" James quickly took out two cameras and took pictures with both simultaneously. After that, something caught his eye. "Hey Will, check it out!" Will followed where James was pointing to and saw a large crowd surrounding someone. "I smell a scoop!!!...Call me, will ya?" Will said excitedly, handing the Malshina girl his card before dashing with James to the crowd. Making their way through, the two breathed heavily as they arrived at the cosplayer. "Excuse me...can we have an interview?" "Sure." Looking up and smiling, Will and James' faces turned to horror as they realized they were in front of Jordan as ModRed. "This just in buddy...we're boned!" "And then there were two," Jordan said dragging them away.

...

Reggie had taken Ai to a carnival-like area. She had an amazed look on her face, pointing at a ride. Reggie smiled and took her hand as they got on every single one she wanted to ride. As they enjoyed themselves, there were parts where time seemed to stand still, as Ai looked at Reggie endearingly and vice versa. After getting off the last ride, Reggie found a game to play. "See anything you like?" Blushing, Ai pointed at a panda, roughly the same size as her. "I'll give it a go," Reggie said, taking up one of the balls. Throwing the first, he knocked down one bottle. Two more and he'd win her the panda. Throwing his second, the second bottle fell. Winding up the last one, Reggie smiled at Ai. "You can do it!" Tossing the final ball, Reggie sadly missed. The worker, however, gave Reggie a medium-sized panda, with mismatched eyes- one purple, one pink. "Sorry it's not the one you wanted." Hugging the panda, Ai smiled and blushed "No, it's perfect." When Ai looked up, she saw Jordan dragging Reggie away by the ear. "C'mon Ai, we've got work to do."

...

At the booth, everyone but Jordan was depressed. Nathan's autograph book was in flames. Kyle was hiding underneath the table in hope that security wouldn't find him. Matt's lunch was thrown away in the garbage. Will and James's equipment was destroyed. Only Ai seemed alright, clutching the panda Reggie won her while trying to comfort him. Giving him a hug, Ai realized what she was doing and turned bright red. "I Uh...I'm sorry...I Uh..." "It's fine Ai. Anata wa hontōni kawaii yo," Reggie said with a smile. Turning an even brighter red, Ai began to speak in gibberish, flailing her arms around until Reggie patted her head. With him walking up to the counter, Ai looked down at the panda. "So, how far have you two gone yet?" Nathan said, sitting next to Ai. Ai's eyes widened and she dug her head into the panda. "Did that embarrass you?" "No, but your breath stinks..." "What?! But still, has he done anything yet?" "Wha...Bu...He...No...And...I...Mean...I...I haven't even had my first kiss yet." "Say what?! Well don't worry your little head, he'll be the guy to handle that. Treat him alright, okay?" Ai's head began to steam as Nathan walked up to Reggie. "Haven't kissed her yet, huh?" Nathan asked, whispering in Reggie's ear. "Wha-Bu-Huh...yeah..." "Good luck with that buddy," Nathan said, smacking Reggie on the back. "But...I...Uh...Haven't kissed anyone yet either..." "Seriously?! Dude, you're 20!" "Well, when did you have your first kiss?!" "...No comment..." The two then felt sharp pains as Jordan smacked them both on the back of the head with his clipboard. "Get back to work." "Killjoy." "ACT YOUR AGE!" "NO, THAT'S BORING!"

...

On the other side of the convention center, an explosion was heard. Hax and Agro Leet, along with an army of SpammerBots, charged through the convention floor. "According to my readings, the DorkRangers should be here somewhere." "Y @re th353 n008$ $7aRinG?" Agro asked, about to draw his swords. "Patience you moron, save it for when we get to the DorkRangers." Hax bumped into a large sweaty man, with a "Sugoi-Con" t-shirt on. "Are you here for the costume contest?" "Foolish human, I am the almighty Hax! Scourge of Cyberspace, corrupter of programs!" "Wow Miss, you're really committed to your character. Come this way." "Hey-Wai- What are you doing?! Agro, help!" "0h, 7HI5 $h0ulD b3 G00d," Agro said, switching his face to his troll face.

...

"ARGH!!! I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE OF THIS!!!" said a frustrated Kyle. "WE'RE AT A CONVENTION, AND I CAN'T ENJOY MYSELF?! SCREW THIS!!!" Taking out his ModPass, Kyle prepared to transform himself before Jordan tackled him. "You are not turning into your Ranger form, just so you can go around and have fun!" "But...uh Jordan? Didn't you do that to catch James and I earlier?" "SHUT UP WILL!" Jordan looked to see that Kyle had slipped out from under him. Dashing into a crowd of people, it didn't take too long for the group to lose sight of Kyle. "OKAY, NEW PLAN! Everybody will split up and look for Kyle! As soon as you find him, report back to me!" Just as everybody was about to leave, Jordan grabbed Nathan. "Except you, you're staying here!" "Wha-huh- Jordan?!" Nathan said as Jordan left.

Walking around, the team decided to resume what they did while looking for Kyle. Will and James interviewed various vendors and cosplayers, taking pictures and getting autographs along the way. Matt went back to buy a new lunch, and ate while taking pictures with people as he wore his Enter cosplay. Reggie and Ai walked together, before she gestured to Reggie that she was going to a booth. Heading over there, Ai gestured Reggie to stay still and not follow her. As she came out, they heard Kyle yelling from somewhere. Running in the direction of his voice, the team arrived at the cosplay competition.

"Uh...why is Kyle-san in a cardboard cutout version of his ModSuit?" The group looked up to see Kyle, angrily pointing at another cosplayer. "Wait...isn't that guy supposed to be an expert cosplayer?" "Well, we did get here the day of the convention, so he probably didn't have time to prepare something big." "Speaking of big, anybody notice something odd about that cosplayer next to the one Kyle's yelling at?" "...Nathan...Who's watching my booth?" "Don't worry, I asked a member of the convention staff to watch it while I go and he said yes...for a 50% discount on your merchandise." "Why you little-" "Guys, isn't that?!"

"I can't believe this moron hasn't realized who I am yet." "P@7i3nc3 H@X, M@Y83 h3 wiLl 3V3n7u@LLy." Looking back, Hax and Agro found Kyle behind them. Rubbing his eyes, Kyle blinked and shouted- "AH! It's Hax and Agro!" The rest of the team, Will, James and Ai fell in an almost anime-like fashion and yelled to him "You just noticed?! "Now I can see why he's not the leader." "What was that?!" "Ugh, enough of this Hax, let's just-" Before Agro could finish his sentence, the lights went out. A member of the convention staff walked out onto the stage and spoke into a microphone. "And the winner of the Cosplay 'Individual' category is... the woman in an original cosplay, calling herself 'Hax'!" The audience besides the team applauded as the staff worker placed a tiara on Hax's head and handed her flowers. "I...I don't know what to say, this is such a big honor!" said, Hax wiping tears as she spoke. "I would like to thank- WAIT, WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?! AND I CAN'T CRY!" Hax tore off her tiara and crushed her flowers, bringing out her tendrils as she whipped them at the audience. Agro switched back to his angry face and brought out his swords, tearing apart the stage. "Will, James, evacuate everybody, we'll stay here and fight!" "But what about me?" asked Ai sheepishly. "Don't worry Ai! I got something for you that could help you fight back against these guys!" said Kyle, holding up a duffle bag. "Will this really work?" "Sure! Put it on and get back here!" Ai did as she was told and ran to the nearest dressing room, while the team charged. Engaging SpammerBots in hand-to-hand combat, Nathan threw a few around. Jordan reached for a booth that specialized in weaponry and took up a sword, throwing another to Reggie as they slashed away. Matt grabbed a lance from the same booth and charged, knocking back several SpammerBots. Finding his way to a BB Gun booth, Kyle loaded up and fired shots in all directions. "Um...excuse me, Kyle-san?" "Oh Ai, you're ready!" "So Kyle, what was that thing you wanted her to put on?' asked Reggie, before he turned around to see her.

Reggie ran over to Kyle and bopped him on the head. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU MAKING HER WEAR, YOU IDIOT?!?!?" Everybody in the middle of battle paused and turned to see what Reggie was taking about. Ai stood there...dressed in a cardboard cutout cosplay of ModKing. It was clear though that it was a little too big for her. "Kyle-san, isn't this too...revealing?" "Well I did make it for me to wear." "YOU'RE STILL NOT GONNA GET AWAY WITH THIS, KYLE!!!" "Reggie, calm down dude, and take a closer look." Reggie did as he was told and noticed that the cosplay was as revealing as Ai said. Blushing brightly, Reggie whispered to Kyle "Okay, you're forgiven." Ai attempted to walk closer, but the leg portions suddenly fell down. Turning bright red, Ai ran out of there yelling "THIS IS EMBARRASSING!!!!"

"Okay...now that that is over, can we get back to fighting now?" "Of course. Let's go team!" Taking out their ModBelts and ModPasses, the team shouts: "Mod Access Login!" Transforming, the group held up their weapons and charged. As they fought, some of the people who escaped snuck back in and watched. "Dude, these cosplayers are amazing!" "Are they really cosplayers? Are you sure that this isn't some convention event thing?" "Whatever dude, these guys are awesome! Go dudes, go!" As they fought, the group noticed a crowd forming all around them. "Damn, civilians got back in. We gotta end this quick." "Don't worry, I got something that can solve this!"

With Kyle running into the booth, the other ModRangers took out their weapons and used their finishing moves on a group of SpammerBots. As the SpammerBots exploded, the whole convention floor was filled with people again, cheering on for the ModRangers. "Will, James, why did you let them back in here?!" "We didn't mean too..." Jordan turned to see Will and James on the floor, with footprints all over them. "Some dude tweeted about you guys and then everybody came charging in." "Geez, we'll get you patched up when we head back to the base." "I iz stil hear, bois!" Jumping out of the way of Agro's four swords, the ModRangers found Hax's tendrils wrapping around their legs. Lifted into the air, they attempted to struggle free. "Kyle, where are you?!" "Right here!" Firing at Hax, Kyle jumped down into the battlefield, holding onto a large item hiding under a tarp. "This'll be the game changer! After we used our group finisher, I thought we could use another one! So I built this! Behold!"

"Are you kidding me?!" "What? It's our new weapon, the ModCannon MK5!" "Uh, Kyle..." The audience, the ModRangers, the SpammerBots, Hax and Agro looked on at Kyle's "invention"- a cardboard cannon, colored with Red, Blue, Violet, Green and Black. "Okay, this is insane, even for you." "What? This thing will work! Trust me!" "Fine, let's just get this over with!" The ModRangers each grabbed a part of the cannon and held it up, pointing it at Hax and Agro. "You can't be serious." "Honestly at this point, I'm fine with whatever crap the rest of this special will bring." "Nathan, what are you talking about?" "Oh nothing..." Taking out pamphlets, Kyle handed out them to every member of the audience, and then to his teammates. "This explains how the cannon works!" After several minutes of reading, Hax grew impatient and shouted "ARGH! HURRY THE HELL UP ALREADY!!!" Turning to Agro, she realized he was gone, leaving behind a note. "D3@r H@X, 7Hi$ W@$ 80rING. GTG, Agro L33t." "That freaking jackass!!!!" "Okay guys, let's go!" Pointing the Cannon at Hax, the ModRangers braced themselves and yelled "Fire!"

...

The audience stood still in anticipation. The ModRangers all were befuddled. Hax, who hid behind her arms, looked up and laughed. The SpammerBots joined her, while the audience muttered to each other. "Hahaha, you guys have performance issues! Should've upgraded yourselves!" laughed Hax, grabbing onto her sides and rolling on the ground. "This is embarrassing." "I hear that." "Should've just continued eating my lunch." Jordan balled his hand into a fist, but then calmly said "Don't worry guys, I have the solution to this." Picking Kyle up, Jordan pushed him into the barrel of the cannon. "Wait Jordan, what are you do-" "Now team!" "Fire!!"

To the surprise of everyone, the cannon launched Kyle directly at Hax, causing a large explosion. The crowd clapped their hands in applause as the smoke cleared, revealing Kyle knocked out on top of a smoking, unconscious Hax. "Sp...SpammerBots...Retreat..." The SpammerBots ran to their master, throwing Kyle off. Picking Hax up, they opened a portal to Cyberspace and quickly ran in. With all the SpammerBots gone, the ModRangers found themselves being lifted up by the audience, with the convention worker walking onto the stage. "And the winners of the 'Best Cosplaying Group' is... Uh, what are you called again?" "Jordan, can we please tell them who we are?" "Tch, fine. This is our role call!"

“Ore...Sanjou! Mod Red!”
“Spiky Courage! Shield of Tokunation! ModBlue!”
“The Princess of my Desires is my Hope in my Delusions! Newbie Mod! ModViolet!”
“Striking from across the Atlantic, the logic defying Moderator! ModGreen!”
“I am the one who will protect the Pink-haired Goddess. ModBlack!”
“Banning scum and villainy across Tokunation! Tokunation Sentai...MODRANGER!”

The crowd cheered as the team was given flowers and crowns. With the threat of the Anon Army gone for the day, Jordan allowed the others to enjoy themselves. The team however, decided to help Jordan with his booth after all, effectively selling everything. As they left the convention, Reggie was called over by Ai. "What is it?" "Wait right here," she said blushing, leaving with the stuff she bought. As Reggie waited, the others were taking pictures together in front of the convention banner. After posing a bit, the guys all looked at Reggie. "Hey, what's the hold up, man?" "We're taking pics now!" "Hey Reg, come on man!" "Hold up Nathan, I'm waiting for Ai!" Reggie felt his phone vibrate, and looked at a text he received from Ai. *Okay, close your eyes.* Doing what he was told, Reggie felt a tug on his arm after a couple of seconds and heard "O...okay, you can...open...your eyes now!"

Opening his eyes, Reggie found himself staring at Ai. "I...I hope this doesn't look weird..." She was dressed up just like Ahim De Famille, right down to the details on her coat. "This...Uh...This is my...thank you...for today...I heard you like this character...so I...Uh..." Reggie just looked at her in amazement, before giving her a big hug. "Wha-Bu-Wha-Bu-Hu-Bu-Wha-Hu-Bu-" Blushing bright red, Ai responded by hugging him back. "You're really beautiful, Ai." Upon hearing those words, Ai fainted in Reggie's arms, but quickly got back up. "That...This isn't it...Here!" Holding up a small bag, Ai handed it to Reggie. Opening it up, Reggie found a necklace inside, one with a purple T with a smaller pink T in the middle. "Thanks Ai...but hey, look." Fiddling with the necklace, the two Ts came apart, separating into two necklaces. "Hey, look at that." Taking the smaller T necklace, Reggie moved Ai's hair and placed it around her neck. "I...I honestly didn't know... it could do that!" "Well, I'm glad it did." Smiling at each other, the two found themselves rushed by photographers. "Miss! Miss! That's an amazing Ahim costume! You sir, have an amazing girlfriend!" With both turning bright red, the team rushed into the crowd and pulled the two of them out. "How about that group picture now?" "Uh...bu...sure..." the two said, blushing. Posing, James set the timer on his camera and ran back. Will and James posed in the front, Jordan and Matt on the sides, and Nathan pushed Ai and Reggie together into a hug. "Wait...where's Kyle?"

The team ran outside after hearing some yelling. There, they found Kyle, chasing after the Vocaloid tour bus, wearing a ModLoco cosplay. "Wait! Come back! I still want you to record something!!!!" "Here we go again," said Jordan, as the team chased after Kyle.
