Access 17: The Knight, The Hacker, and the Hunter Two figures meet under the cover of night at California’s harbor district, which is now shrouded in fog. One figure is dressed in a robe and a mask, making their features impossible to distinguish with the guise on. The other is clearly a male, dressed like he could be in the military’s special forces, and in his hand he carries a metal briefcase with a familiar green T in the centre. “I got what you asked for” the male spoke “Well done...Hunter. Now open it.” The robed figure said, disguised using a voice synthesizer. The male, now called “Hunter” nods. He opens the briefcase, and inside there is a ModBelt and ModPass. “Not sure why you need this of all things but...it sure takes me back just looking at it,” Hunter says. The robed figure nods with approval. Hunter sets the case down, closing it back up and kicking it towards him. The case slides across the hardwood surface until it stops right by the hood’s feet. The hood bends down and picks up the suitcase. He turns to leave but stops in his tracks as Hunter speaks up. “By the way...you’re three months due on your payment. I like you and all, but I’m not running a charity here.” Hunter begins to rub his thumb against two fingers, causing the Hood to sigh. “Yes, about that...” He suddenly turns and draws a gun, pointing it directly at Hunter. “Your services will no longer be required. You are now a loose end...a loose end which must be tied up.” Hunter seems unfazed by the sudden turn of events; in fact, he stands there, with a wide smirk that cracks on his lips, and he begins laughing hysterically. “Look, I like ya, but enough is enough.” He takes a step forward, but the hood fires a warning shot. “You’re serious aren’t you?” The hood says nothing, but merely keeps his gun trained on Hunter. “Alright...you wanna play it the hard way...fine. Last chance: I have ways of finding out who you are. I can make your life a living hell... so why don’t you put the gun down, give me my money and we’ll pretend like this never happened?” The hooded figure says nothing, but continues to stand there, gun still pointing towards Hunter. Hunter sighs. “Alright...have it your way.” Hunter charges towards the hooded figure, and another gunshot is fired. --- An alarm clock begins blaring, and Will lets out a pained groan. It is five in the morning and his entire body is sore all over. Will groans once more as he climbs out of bed, yawning, he tries stretching but a sharp pain shoots through his arm, throughout his body various bruises could be seen. Next door, James is snoring loudly and and Will steps inside the messy room. “James....Jaaaaaames…..” Will tries to shake James out of his sleep, but he merely turns over to the side, mumbling to himself and begins to suck on this thumb. Groaning, Will reaches over and grabs hold his nose. Within minutes, James wakes up gasping for air, but finds that he can't see anything “Will? Is that you?” He rubs the sleep out of his eyes. “Yeah it’s me...” “UGh...what time is it?” James reaches over for the alarm clock, but finds that he still can’t see anything. “Aaaaah! Waaaah! I’m blind! Blind as a bat!” He begins to freak out, but Will quickly slaps him across the face. “Get a hold of yourself man! You’re not blind, you just lost your vision again...it’s the suit. Tony says how the suits are dangerous for us…well I think our transformation times are nearly up.” James rubs his cheek, his vision slowly returning to him. “Thanks...I needed that. But that’s hardly a reason to wake a guy at five in the morning! I need my beauty sleep man...” James goes back to bed, but after a few minutes he looks up towards Will. “You still here?” Will nods. “We’re supposed to go pick up Arthur at the airport remember?” James groans. “Aw, do we have too...? I was kind of hoping to sleep in today.” Will yawns. “Yeah. I hear ya bud...but Tony’s expecting a lot for us...we shouldn’t disappoint him.” “See! That’s your problem! You have a problem saying no to people!” Shocked, Will retorts, “I do not have a problem saying no to people!”. James points to his shirt that is hanging off his chair. “Hand me that shirt, will ya bud?” Will nods, and he reaches out and passes James his shirt. “See! You can’t say no to people!” Will scratches his head. “Gee...maybe your right...” Will throws the shirt back onto the chair, but even something that simple causes a sharp pain in his shoulder. “Aw damn it.... I need a vacation.” James nods “Hey...wanna play hookie?”. Will blinks. “Are you serious, dude? Tony can track us with the Staff Passes, plus he has those hidden cameras. Remember?!”. “Yeah, I took a look at some of them and I’ve come up with ways to avoid them. Look, you and I have both been working hard. Our bodies need a day off, as well as our spirits. Soooo....lets take the day off to recover.” Will rubs his chin. “But what about Arthur?” “Tony can pick him up! Or he can take a taxi!” Will sighs. “Alright...I know I’m going to regret this but...yeah let’s take the day off...in that case I’m going back to bed.” James nods and yawns. “That’s the...spirit....” He falls asleep, and returns to sucking his thumb before he has a chance to finish his sentence. --- A few hours later, across town at a downtown suburb, an alarm clock sounds, waking a man that is quite clearly cybernetic. The cybernetic man sits up on his bed, which is somehow strong enough to support his full weight. He lets out a yawn and stretches while beside him, a human looking woman sleeps peacefully. This man is General Sui, a member of the Virusion Empire, the viral threat that came before the Anon Army. He was the only member to survive the final battle but, rather then start the Virusion Empire army again, he decided to settle down. Now he lives as normal a life a robot in the 21st century could. He met someone, fell in love, and even had a daughter. His morning routine is the same as everyone else, except instead of a water bath, General Sui takes oil baths. He brushes his teeth using a tooth brush attachment that his hand can morph into it. His whole house, while looking normal on the outside and inside, functions exactly like a house straight out of an old science fiction movie, with just about every appliance in the house being automated. After going through their morning routine, Sui’s daughter and himself are sitting at the dinner table while his wife cooks them breakfast. General Sui’s daughter can be described as a girl with slim proportions throughout her body, someone who, despite her actual age, looks much, much younger. She has her hair tied up in pigtails, and she wears expensive-looking clothing. Her entire demeanor, the way she sits, the way she eats screams of someone that is spoiled, and just doesn’t give a damn about anything. Her name is Amaya, and in front of her sits a bowl of cereal and milk. She takes a big spoonful of it while giving her dad the evil eye. Sui’s wife comes over and pushes some bacon onto Sui’s plate. “Thank you dear” Sui says, taking a sip of his morning coffee. “I still can’t believe you, daddy!” Amaya suddenly shouts, causing Sui to let out a long, exasperated sigh. “Here we go...” He rolls his eyes. “All the power you possess and you’re letting it be squandered! We should be living like kings! In a big palace! Not in a dump like this!”. Sui shakes his head. “Amaya, for the ten-thousandth time...my boss was dead, I was a general without an army. What was I supposed to do?” Amaya pouts. “Build a new army of course!”. Sui shakes his head. “The ModRangers made me see that there was more to life than just destroying someone else’s...I didn’t want that life any more, so I decided to settle down. One day you’ll understand... I’m late for work.” Sui stands up. “Don’t forget your lunch, dear!” Sui’s wife calls out, handing him a lunch box. “Thank you, honey.” Sui gives his wife a quick kiss on the lips. “We’re not done talking!” Amaya says. “Believe me, I know! But I can’t be late for work!”. Once again, Amaya pouts “But daaaaaddy!!!!!” Sui points up the stairs. “Go to your room THIS INSTANT!”. Amaya can feel her temper flaring up. “FINE!” She turns around and furiously marches into her room. Amaya slams the door behind her. The room is dark, with the lights off and shutters down. Instead of stuffed animals, computers can be seen littered around her room, and her floor is a mess of cables and wires. Instead of boy band posters, Amaya’s walls are filled with newspaper clippings relating to the ModRangers, with ModGreen being the one that is most prominent, and one of the photos looks as though it has been stabbed several times. “UGH, I cannot BELIEVE him!” Crossing her arms, Amaya struts towards her desk. “I’ll show him...I’ll show them all.” Amaya reaches down towards the table and pulls up a ModBelt, hooked up to a web of wires. She grins maliciously as she eyes the belt in her hand. --- For Sui, things were quite hard for the first little while. It turned out that no place wanted to hire a former General that tried to destroy and enslave humanity. It got to the point where he had to crawl on his knees and beg for Tony to help him. And eventually, Tony found him a job working as a gas station attendant. It was dull and mundane, but Sui couldn’t complain too badly - after all, it did put food on the table. With a forced smile on his face, Sui finishes filling up the tank of a lady’s car, Amaya’s words from earlier weighing heavily on his mind. “Maybe Amaya is right...maybe I gave up too early. If I can combine my power with the Anon Army...” his thoughts are interrupted when he hears the familiar roar of an engine, and watches as a metallic blue sports car drives up to his till, with Tony sitting inside wearing a pair of sunglasses, causing Sui to let out a groan. “General Sui of the Virusion Army...oh, how the mighty have fallen...not thinking of world domination again, are we?” Tony smirks. “Is that the reason why you have to keep coming back to this particular station!? Just to check up on little old me? You gotta have a little more trust in me, man!” Tony shakes his head, and hands Sui his credit card. “I have no idea what you’re talking about... don’t worry, I won’t body search you this time. I just came here for gas, at the usual 50% discount.” Sui snatches Tony’s credit card out of his hand. “That discount comes out of MY pay, you know! I can’t keep giving you those discounts! My boss will fire me!” Tony shakes his head back and forth. “Relax, I was only kidding.”A few minutes go by as Sui got to work filling up Tony’s car. “So, how’s the wife and kid?” Tony asks, taking a sip out of his water bottle. Sui shrugs. “Meh. Wife’s hanging in there all thing’s considered...kid’s still spoiled though.” Sui hands Tony’s credit card back, and Tony slips the card back into his pocket. “By the way Sui...word on the street is that there’s a new hacker for hire out there...apparently, this new Hacker uses similar methods the Virusion army used. You wouldn’t know anything about it... would you?” Sui shakes his head. “For the millionth time, Tony, I’m retired! Why do you always gotta suspect ME when something like this comes up?! There ARE other criminals in this city you know!” Tony chuckles. “Sorry, sorry...it’s a force of habit.” He smiles one final time. “Well I gotta get going. Take care of yourself, okay.” Tony hands Sui a five dollar bill, which Sui rejects. “Thanks, but no thanks. I already owe you a life debt, I don’t want to have a monetary debt from you too!” Tony nods and with one final wave, he takes off into the busy California streets. “Then again...if I show even the slightest hint that I’m up to no good... Tony will kick my ass into scrap metal...” Tony back up and from his car, he shouts, “Ya damn right I will!” And once again, he drives off. ---- Tony pulls into a private, secret parking garage that is reserved specifically for him. He walks into the command center, but lets out a gasp. His private, hidden safe is blown wide open, and there is now a gaping hole in the wall, exposing a hidden display which housed several Mod Belts, one of which is missing. Tony begins to panic. He turns to the terminal, which looks undamaged. He presses a button and sure enough, the machine comes on. “WELCOME, TONY. HOW MAY I BE OF ASSISTANCE?”. “Play me the most recent security files.”. “ACKNOWLEDGED” It happened a little bit late into the night, when everyone except for Ai had left. As she leaves the room, Hunter comes in through the vents, and applies some plastic explosive to the wall. At that moment, Ai comes back and freezes in her tracks, like a deer caught in the headlights. She lets out the most fierce “EYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!” an adorable Japanese girl can muster and charges towards Hunter, armed with nothing more than a bottle of pepper spray. However she trips on her own feet, the bottle of pepper spray dropping out of her hand, and Hunter laughs. “What was that?!” The frame skips, showing Hunter now in the locker room, tying Ai up with some duct tape. “W...w...what are you going to do with me?!” Hunter laughs. “Relax, I won’t try anything funny or anything. Are you the only one here?” Ai remains silent. “Are you.the only one.here?” he asks again, in a firmer voice. Ai lets out a shriek. “T-there are four people in the medical bay! But they’re injured!!!!! Please don't hurt them!!!” Hunter nods. “There’s a good girl...just stay out of my way and nothing bad will happen to you. Capiche?” Hunter slaps a piece of duct tape over her mouth and stashes Ai into a locker. “Hey, what do you know! She fits perfectly!” Hunter closes the locker up. The frame once again skips, and it shows Hunter handcuffing an unconscious Reggie and Nathan to their beds while Kyle struggles to get at him. Hunter turns his attention to Kyle, and places a hand on his hips. “Well, I’d tie you up too, but it looks like someone did my work for me.” He laughs. “Better give you some anesthetic...juuuust in case”. From out of the shadows, Matt leaps at him from behind, but Hunter side-steps, causing Matt to lose balance. He lands half way on Kyle’s bed, in a position that makes it look as though he’s kissing him. Hunter quickly handcuffs Matt to the bed. “Hey, what’s the big idea?! Who are ya anyways?!” Hunter grins. “You’ll find out someday...oh, you guys might wanna hold onto something, things are about to get rocky.” Moments later, Hunter blows the wall and quickly dashes out with the Mod Belt suitcase in hand. The footage ends in static. Tony watches in shock, and he quickly runs to the locker room. He opens the right locker wide open and finds Ai tied up. She says something to him, but her voice is muffled by the duct tape gagging her mouth. “Hold still, I’ll get you free.” Tony pulls the duct tape off her mouth “Thief! THIEF!!! We’ve been robbed!!!!” Ai shouts. Tony nods. “I know, I know. Are you okay?” Ai nods in response. “Hai. It isn’t the first time I got stuffed in a locker...” Ai then lets out a gasp as Tony undoes the restraints. “Reggie and the others!” “Are fine...hopefully. Don’t worry...I know who took the belt...he doesn’t like to endanger lives. Even as a bounty hunter.” Free from her duct tape restraints, Ai rubs her wrists. “You know who did it Tony-San?” Tony nods. “Yes, he’s a nice guy once you get to know him, but he wouldn’t be someone you want to run into in a dark ally. I need you to begin tracking him immediately! We can’t assume that he still has the ModBelt he took, so use the hidden cameras! But let me know as soon as he tries to use the belt!” Ai nods, and Tony reaches down to grab his phone. “Tch...Will and James still aren’t picking up...useless!” he says. At that moment, Tony gets another call. Ai runs, to the best of her abilities, turning into the medical ward. “Reggie-san! Are you...okaaaay....” Her look of concern turns to an eyebrow raised “wtf” look as she sees the awkward situation Matt is in: He is handcuffed in a position where it looks as though he is kissing Kyle. Ai tilts her head. “Anno...am I interrupting something?” Matt shakes his head the best he can. “It’s not what it looks like Ai, I swear!” Ai giggles. “I never knew you feel that way about Kyle-san, Matt-san.” As Ai removes Reggie’s cuffs, Matt scowls. “I am NOT into Kyle, Ai! Whom in their right mind would be?! You have the wrong idea!” Nathan also scowls. “And why are you undoing Reggie’s cuffs first?! What are we?! Chopped liver?” Reggie grins as the cuffs come off. “Yes, yes you are.” Nathan now scowl at Reggie, shaking a fist at him “You’re lucky I can’t reach you, Reggie!” ---- While Tony is dealing with the crisis back at the base, Arthur’s plane touches down in the airport. The tall, 20-something male emerges, along with a crowd of people. He has pale skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. He is dressed in an all-white attire, and around his arm is a duffle bag. The plane arrived earlier than originally announced, so Arthur has some time to kill. He leans against a wall and watches as people came and went. Half an hour passes, then an hour, with no sign of Will, James, or anyone from CPU coming to pick him up. Almost two hours after his plane touched down, Arthur walks towards a pay phone. After a moment, Tony finally picks up. “WHAT?!” he yells on the other line, his scream causing Arthur to pull away the phone for a moment. “Sir Tony, it’s me. I arrived at the airport, but your squires are nowhere to be seen.” On the other line, he can hear Tony groaning. “Those little...when I get my hands on them...sorry Arthur, I’m dealing with a crisis at the moment and I can’t help you with that! Ai have you found anything yet?!” “Anything I can do to help, Sir Tony?” “Find me Will and James, and bring me their heads!”. “But Tony, I know nothing of your squires...how am I supposed to find them?” Tony groans once more. “They’re otaku, it shouldn’t be too hard to find them. Your tracking skills are almost as good as Hunter’s...I need to hang up now!” The other line goes silent and Arthur hangs up with a sigh. “Now if I were Tony’s squires...where would I go...hmmm....” ---- An anxious Will stands at the corner of a cafe that James instructed him to wait by. He’s dressed in an oversized trench coat and a pair of gag glasses, complete with a fake nose and mustache. “He’s taking way too long....”. Finally, he sees James coming down the street. “Yo!” James says, waving. “Well?!” James tilts his head. “Well what? And what’s with that goofy disguise?” Will scowls at him. “Were you able to disable the cameras?! And I’m incognito!” James raises an eyebrow. “If anything...that disguise makes you look even more suspicious.” Will quickly punches James. “NOT the point right now!” James rubs his arm. “Owe...okay, okay...yeah I was able disable them...turns out my suit has a jamming function.” “TURNS OUT?!” Will shouts. “Shh! Keep it down! I thought you were suppose to be incognito?!” Will suddenly goes up in James’ face and places a finger in the middle of his chest. “James...if Tony finds out his cameras are offline, we’re dead meat...do you hear me?! DEAD!” James pushes Will away. “Calm the eff down would you? I checked the footage to be sure, and all he’s seeing is an endless loop. Don’t worry, we’re completely invisible to him right now.” Will removes the gag glasses. “Huh...guess I don’t need these any more...” He tosses the glasses to the side. “Dude, please! Do us all a favor and put them back on. It’s a marked improvement. Owe!” Will gives James a swift jab in the arm and points to the cafe behind him. “I hear this place has great pasta. Wanna grab lunch?” James nods. “Yeah, let’s.” Just as Will and James step into the cafe, a taxi pulls up to the curb Will was previously standing on, and Arthur comes out. He scratches his chin "Hmmmmm now I were a pair of Otaku…where would I go? They're close…I can feel it"----- Later that afternoon, Will and James are enjoying an entire arcade all to themselves. They sit beside each other in a racing simulator, and James pulls his virtual car just ahead of Will’s. “How does my virtual dust taste Will!?” Will smiles, but pulls ahead of James at the last minute. “Old and stale!” Will and James are on their way out, when they notice a familiar , sharply-dressed man playing the whack-a-mole machine. He begins to attack the moles furiously, but to no avail. “Have at thee, foul demons!’ He says in frustration. “Hey... that guy looks familiar...” James goes in for a closer look, but is pulled back by a startled Will so they are hiding behind a game. “Hey, what’s the big idea?!” James shouts. “Shhhhhhh! Keep it down will ya?! You’re going to get us caught! That’s the guy we were supposed to get from the airport!” James peaks up from over the arcade before quickly ducking down. “Oh crap...we’re boned! What do we do?!” “Calm down, I’m sure we can sneak out of here and...”. “You know, the two of you really do need to work on your stealth... I could hear you from all the way over there.” Arthur motions towards his arcade machine, and Will and James nervously glance up towards him. “Busted....” says James. Will just facepalms. Arthur reaches down and grabs both Will and James in a headlock. “Indeed….you two are in a world of trouble! Come along now, us Knights have much work to do!” James growls. “I’d like to point out that Will is the only hero in this room with “Knight” in his name.” Arthur begins to drag the two out of the arcade. “Hey, will you let go!?” shouts Will. Arthur shakes his head. “‘Fraid not. I would not want you two to run off on me again. And Sir Tony made it quite clear that he wanted to see your heads.” Outside, the group hear screaming as a crowd of people ran past in terror. “Evil is afoot! To arms, friends!” The three of them arrive outside in time to see a monster which looks like a strange mishmash of an humanoid dragon in spiky armor, colored much like Bruce Lee’s iconic yellow jumpsuit. “Is there no one that is stronger than me, Drago-Ree!?” the Monster says. He arms himself with a pair of nunchuks, both ends shaped to look like huge dragon teeth. He speaks in a voice similar to an old Bruce Lee movie dub and begins to swing his nunchucks around in an impressive display that leaves both Will and James scared shitless. “Well?! What are you waiting for?! Slay the dragon!” Arthur shouts. “We’re waiting for YOU to let go of us so we can get the crap beaten out of us!" Arthur blinks. “Oh right...my apologies.” Will and James whip out their Belts. “We are SO getting our asses kicked...” said James. Will sighs. “I know...this is karma paying us back for wanting to ditch Tony today...” Will then glares at James, and James shrugs innocently. “I swear, this is the last time I listen to one of your idiotic hair-brained ideas!” James rolls his eyes. “You say that so much it’s lost all meaning!” Scowling, Will retorts, “I mean it this time!” James shakes his head. “You’ve said THAT a lot too!” They try to continue but Drago-ree lets out a sharp whistle. “Hey, we doing this or what?!” Will and James blink, and both of them assume their earlier positions. “O-Oh, right!” They insert their Staff Passes into the Userbelts and shouts,“User Access! Log In!” As the pass is inserted, the machine responds with: USER KIRYU, LOGING IN... DOWNLOADING... USER CONUNDRUM LOGGING IN...DOWNLOADING... And both of their suits materialize over their bodies. “NewsieKnight!” Will shouts, followed by James, who goes, “Photobomb-whoa!” Drago Ree suddenly charges towards Will and James. They leap out of the way, but just barely. Drago’s head turns towards James, and he gulps. One swift kick later, and James is sent flying across the mall, crashing into the display of a woman’s clothing store. Moments later, James emerges from the store, now wearing a woman’s summer dress and hat. “Ugh...I hate it when I’m right.” He takes off the dress and hat. Meanwhile, Will has begun to engage Drago Ree, but his fast combos of kicks and nunchakus give Will a hard time as he can only block or parry the monster’s attacks. “That’s it Will...keep em busy....” James says, as he stands behind Dragon Ree, armed with his Photo Cannon as he takes aim. Drago Ree suddenly throws his nunchakus in the air. “Now!” Will cries. bringing his sword down, but Drago catches the sword using two fingers and effortless disarms Will. “Shit!” Will cries. Drago Ree begins to pummel Will with a fast series of punches all the while shouting, “ATATATATATATATATATATAT ATATATATATATATATATATA TATA!” He then ends his attack by throwing a roundhouse kick, finishing with “WATA!”. “Now!” James shouts, and at that instance he fires. Drago Ree catches his nunchucks, and using them he deflects Photo Bomber’s shot right back at him. “Oh, come on!” James is then hit by his blast and he’s knocked off his feet. Will lands and slides on the clean waxed surface till he’s beside Arthur, who is just leaning against a wall watching. “It pains me to see that you two are the best Sir Tony has to offer.” Will scowls at him and rubs the back of his neck. “This is payback for not picking you up at the airport...isn’t it?!” Arthur nods. “Indeed it is, good sir.” Will stands up and dusts himself off. “Well, are you going to help or just stand there?!” Arthur grins. “I think you squires are doing fine on your own. Good show lads!” Arthur gives a thumbs up but Will does not quiet his scowl. “You’re a bastard, you know that?!” “Uh guys?! Can I get a hand here? I’m not exactly equipped to go hand to hand!” Will turns to James and begins clapping. “Very funny, smart-ass! Now help me before I kick your ass into next Tuesday!” “C-Coming!” Will picks up his sword and lets out a battle cry. Drago Ree, however, grabs James and throws him towards Will. Will tries to stop in his tracks to turn and run, but it’s too late as they both end up on the ground. “This is the end for you! Wooooooooooooooooh WATA!!!!” Drago fiercely swings his nunchucks at Will and James, but a barrage of gunfire stops him in his tracks. “What?! Who dares interfere?!” The group then turns to the figure that stood behind Drago, and each of them lets out a gasp. --- “Fixed it!” Ai shouts as the monitors finally come on. Seeing Mod Hunter, Tony lets out a gasp. “Master Control, Log in, Access Suit H12 and initiate shutdown!”. “ACCESS DENIED PLEASE TRY AGAIN.” Tony scowls. “Shutdown Suit H12!!!!” “ACCESS DENIED. PLEASE CONTACT THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.” Tony growls and grinds his teeth together. “I AM THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR, YOU USELESS POS!!!!!” But the machine replies: “ACCESS DENIED, YOU HAVE USED UP ALL AVAILABLE LOG INS. PLEASE TRY AGAIN IN 15 MINUTES” Tony shouts in frustration and begins to take his anger out on the control terminal. “Damned infernal piece of crap!!!!” He begins to kick the terminal. “Um, Tony-san? I believe I found the source of what’s controlling ModHunter” With the push of a button, Ai displays the map of a suburban area not far from where they were. Tony’s jaw hits the floor. “That’s...DAMMIT! SON OF A BITCH!” His anger reaches new heights as he storms off. “Wait, what should do about Will-san and James-san!?”. “Forward them those coordinates and tell them to get there. On the double!!!!” Ai nods, watching Tony run out. Mod Hunter stands there, holding one of his pincer-like blasters, the end of the rifle smoking from having just recently been fired. “Think I’m scared of you?! Ooooooooooo WATCHA!” Drago suddenly shouts. He moves in and attacks ModHunter, but the warrior blocks and parries the attacks. Mod Hunter’s rams his buzzsaw knee into Drago, the buzz saw weapon would then ram right into Drago's armour this leaves a rather nasty-looking gash. Drago staggers, his wound smoking. “You have won this day, but next time you will not be so lucky! We will meet again someday!” Drago then disappears. A surprised Arthur blinks in surprise as he approaches ModHunter. “Hunter, my good lad! Is that you in there? You look good! Have you lost weight?” Arthur extends his hand towards Hunter, but he ignores him and continues to walk past. As Will and James join him, Arthur places a hand up, and, discretely, he says, “Hunter was always a tad bit anti social...” Arthur turns his head, and his jaw drops as he sees ModHunter levelling a clothing store. “Hunter! What’s gotten into you?! Stop this madness at once! Have you forgotten the oath we swore!?” Arthur approaches ModHunter, and he reaches out, grabbing hold of his arm. Hunter turns towards Arthur, roughly throwing him off. Arthur is sent flying but Will and James catch him before he hits the ground. Arthur’s eyes narrow at Hunter. “Okay. Now I’m angry!” Arthur lets out a fierce battle cry, and charges towards him. “Hey, Sir Idiot! You’re forgetting this!” In his hand, Will holds Arthur’s ModBelt and Pass, causing Arthur to stop in his tracks. “Oh right...I will need that, yes.” Arthur takes the belt and pass from Will, strapping the belt across his waist. Holding the ModPass in his hand, he inserts it into his belt, shouting “MOD ACCESS, LOG IN!”. The belt responds: “WHITE, ACCESS GRANTED, DOWNLOADING....” As his Modsuit appears over his body, Arthur flicks his wrist, so that his cape flows backwards. “ModTomahawk!” ModWhite shouts, and an axe-like weapon appears in his hand. “Fear the Mod of Thunder!” With a battle cry, Arthur charges towards Hunter. “Really?! You’re dropping the Thor jokes? Really?!” Will cries. Arthur leaps into the air, bringing his tomahawk towards the still ModHunter. Hunter defends with both ModPincers, but is pushed back by the force of the blow. Hunter pushes Arthur back and returns with the Pincers, but Arthur is able to deflect the blow. Arthur pauses “...You are not Hunter! You’re strength pales in comparison to his.” Arthur points his ModTomahawk at him as though it is a sword. “Who are you? What have you done with the real Hunter?!” ‘Hunter’ remains silent, however. “Whoa, whoa, whoa, he’s a fake? How can you be so sure?” James asks. “The real Hunter is ruthless and relentless in battle. He would not be giving us pause if it were actually him.” The group turns towards Hunter, who is now moving to destroy another clothing store. “Nay, this one copy to be hellbent on mindless destruction. Something which we Knights can use against him....Follow my lead!” Arthur cries. “For the last time, Will here is the only one that has Knight in his name!” James groans, but follows Will in his pursuit of Arthur. “Sir Will, try to flank him, Sir James, give us cover fire! Try to draw his attention. It would be most unwise to attack Hunter directly, so hit and runs are our best shot!” Will and James both nod. “Right!” James hops onto the largest platform he can find. He then begins to fire at Hunter, but he looks barely phased. In fact, he merely ignores James and continues to level another defenseless store. This annoys James greatly. “Oh, so that’s the way you wanna play, huh? Fine. I just gotta turn up the juice then!” Inside his suit, James fiddles with the settings, while Will and Arthur begin to engage Hunter. However, Hunter manages to keep both of them at bay without even breaking a sweat. “Dude, do you think that’s such a good idea? Ai’s gonna be pissed when she finds out you messed with her settings!” Will asks, who is locking swords with Hunter’s buzz-saws. Sparks fly as the weapons clash. “This’ll show him...Photo Cannon...full power... FIRE!!!!” Energy begins building up inside the end of James’s cannon, and a large stream of energy discharges. “INCOMIIIIIIING!” Will shouted, and both he and Arthur leap out of the way, just as ModHunter lunges forward. The blast connects. Unable to handle the recoil any longer, James is thrown several feet back until he lands in a wall. “James!” Will runs over to his friend and helps him out of the wall. “How many fingers am I holding?” Will asks holding up two. Dazed and disoriented, James replies, “Seven?” He shakes his head back and forth. “Whoa, what a rush!” Will smacks James on the head. “I told you it was a bad idea!” James chuckles. “Yeah, but you can’t argue with the results...look!” He points to where ModHunter was stood, which is now covered in a cloud of smoke. The smoke dissipates, and Hunter stands there, his form broken up into bits of binary which is staticing in and out. Arthur lets out a fierce battle cry as he brings down his hammer and finishes Hunter off, his form completely shattering and vanishing. “Sooo...is that it? It’s over?” Will asks. “Nay friends. I have a feeling that won’t be the last, not unless we find whomever is responsible for the Copy Hunter and end his reign of terror.” “James, Will, Arthur! I know who’s responsible for this. Meet me at these coordinates on the double!” Tony says from the comlink. “I think Tony might know.” Arthur nods. “Indeed...let us be off friends!” From the shadows, Amaya watches the group leaving. When they leave, she emerges from the shadows holding Hunter’s ModBelt in hand. “Argh that Idiot! I told him to take the green one! Tsk... now, I don’t feel so bad about double crossing him!” Amaya walks towards where ModHunter last stood and grins, eyeing the belt in her hand. “Although I can’t argue with the results..that'll teach them for rejecting my credit card and making a fool out of me!” ---- “This can’t be the right place...” With a raised eyebrow, Will, James, and Arthur arrive at the destination Tony gave them. "Not exactly the lair of an evil mastermind…" James says, noting the garden gnomes that decorated the front lawn. “Sir Tony is never wrong...usually”. James shakes his head “Everyone has their off days...c’mon let’s go...” James turns and sees Tony pulling up in his sports car. James whistles, “Sweet ride...mind if I take it for a spin sometime?” Tony ignores James, and he walks up to the door and kicks it down. James blinks. “I’ll take that as a no?” . The door hits the ground hard enough to kick up dust, inside, Sui and his family are having dinner. Sui turns, his jaw hitting the floor when he sees Tony. “T-Tony! If you wanted to have dinner with us, you could’ve just asked!” Tony grabs hold of Sui and slams him onto the table. Sui finds himself face-first in his plate of food. “Was it something I said?!” Sui’s wife gasps. “Darling!” Amaya stands up. “Daddy!” Sui tries to struggle out of Tony’s grasp, but the more he struggles the more Tony tightens his grip. A pair of handcuffs are placed over Sui’s wrists. “Tony, what’s the meaning of this?!” Sui says. “I know you’re behind the recent attack on the Mall. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and WILL be used against you.”Seeing this, an enraged Amaya runs upstairs. “Dear!” Sui’s wife says, watching as Tony begins dragging him outside. “It’s going to be alright honey. Just call my lawyer and tell him to have a defense ready!” Tony throws Sui roughly into the backseat of his car, while Arthur, Will, and James climb in, neighbors and passersby watching awkwardly but doing nothing to interfere. The ride back to CPU becomes cramped and crowded as no one dares to say any words. Sui is the first to break the awkward silence: “Tony, can you please explain to me what’s going on?!” They come to a red light, and from the rear view mirror, Tony shoots Sui a glare. “After analyzing ModHunter, we found a signal that was corrupting and controlling him. That signal came from YOUR house! Your’s Sui!” Sui’s eyes widen. “That’s preposterous! I-” Before Sui can say another word, Tony cuts him off with, ”I trusted you, I have you a second chance, and THIS is how you repay it?! I should’ve taken you down along with the rest of your comrades!” Sui says nothing as the two stare off at each other intensely, Sui shocked, and Tony more angry than Will, James, or Arthur have ever seen. “Um...Tony?” Will finally says, but the angered gaze turns towards him. “Uh...don’t you think you’re jumping to conclusions a little?” The car begins to move again, and James nods. “Yeah, I mean the signal came from his house but...we didn’t even bother investigating the place. The real culprit could still be at his house!” Will nods in agreement with James. “There IS no further proof we need. Sui tried something like this once before. I know he’s guilty!” Sui lets out a sigh, but suddenly the car comes to a screeching halt. ModHunter stands, towering over them. He reaches over and picks Tony’s car up by the wheel. Hunter then suddenly flips the car over. It tumbles, causing the passengers inside to shriek as they suddenly find themselves upside down. “See! This PROVES he’s guilty!” Tony scowls as he undoes his seat belt. “This proves nothing! Tony, how can I be controlling him when I’m stuck here?!” Sui exclaims. “He has a point Tony...” “Shut up and do your jobs!” Tony shouts, glaring at the two. Will and James undo their seat belts and crawl away from the car. “Heeey! What about me?! You can’t just leave me here!” Tony turns back to Sui. “Oh yes we can! You’re staying put!”. Mod Hunter slowly approaches the group. “Oh man, what do we do?” James begins to panic. “Try not to wet yourself, Squires!” Arthur smirks, but Will gulps. “Too late...” The three are about to transform when they notice a set of tendrils whizzing past them. The Tendrils suddenly wrap themselves around Tony’s car and they cut it in half. The tendrils then undo Sui’s seat belt, and he crawls out from the wreckage. Tony gasps. “My car!!!!” and turns towards the culprit. The tendrils slowly snake their way back to the body they came from. There stands the same robed figure that took the ModBelt from Hunter. “I am the one that you seek!” The robed figure begins to say. “My name is... Z-RO! And by my hand...the Virusion Army will rise again!” The group suddenly lets out a gasp. Z-RO turns towards ModHunter, who kneels in front of Z-RO. “Ironic, is it not? He was part of the team that defeated the Virusion Army, and yet here he stands as one of it’s first soldiers.” Z-RO suddenly laughs. “What did you do to Hunter?!” Tony shouts. “If I had to guess...that buffoon is probably sleeping with the fishes.” “Here’s a surprise for you!” A mysterious voice shouts. Hunter suddenly jumps from the rooftop and lands on the ground, where he points towards Z-RO. “I don’t eat seafood!” He smirks, but Will cringes. “Ugh, now I know who the Nathan of their group was...” Hunter takes one step forward, glaring at Z-RO. “I believe you have something that belongs to me, I’d like it returned!”. “You mean this?” Z-RO whips out Hunter’s Mod Belt. Hunter smirks to himself and moves faster then Z-RO can blink. In the blink of an eye, the Mod Belt is gone. “Yoink!” Hunter shouts and Z-RO gasps. “Hey, give that back!” Hunter chuckles. “Finders keepers” he sticks out his tongue at Z-RO. “That’s it...I am SO going to destroy you”. The group suddenly prepares themselves for battle, but Sui steps in front of them. “Amaya, you stop this foolishness right now!” A series of gasps are heard from the group as they turn to face Z-RO, who merely stands there, unfazed. “I don’t know whom this Amaya person you speak of is.” The group, except for Sui, fall down, anime style, but Sui merely holds his ground. “Don’t give me that! I saw you make that costume for the dance last halloween!” Sui then thrusts his arm foreword, tendrils escaping from his fingers and plugging into the construct of ModHunter. Almost instantly, the construct vanishes. “Now take off that ridiculous costume this instant!” Z-RO scowls at Sui, who places his hand on the mask and removes it, then flicks the hood down to reveal that Z-RO is indeed Sui’s spoiled teenage daughter. “How did you figure it out?” Sui crosses his arms. “I’m your father, Amaya. I make it my business to know! Now, would you mind explaining to me what this is about?!” Amaya scowls at her father in return. “I’m tired of living like the everyday common man! What’s the point of having these powers if I’m not allowed to use them!?”. Sui begins to clench his fists tight. “Because it’s better to live like a common man then in fear of-” Before Sui can finish, Amaya laughs. “Ha! Fear of what?! Fear of the looser brigade standing behind you? They’re pathetic!” Will and James’s mouths hang open. Offended, Will is the first to speak “Hey!” He is followed by James, who shouts, “We’re standing right here you know!” Sui paid them no mind as he continues to glare daggers at his daughter. “Amaya, I am going to give you to the count of three, and if I don’t see you out of that ridiculous outfit so help me!” Amaya merely crosses her arms and pouts. “One!” Sui holds up one finger, but Amaya continues to pout. Will gives Tony a quick nudge. “Psst, hey Tony! Should we uh...do something about this? I mean, should we help?”. Sui holds up two fingers, shouting “Two!” Tony shakes his head back and forth. “No, let’s not get involved in their little father/daughter spat... best to just let them sort it all out themselves”. Sui holds up three fingers, shouting, “Three! That’s it, time for an ass kicking.” He rolls up his sleeves and begins to approach Amaya, who gives her father the saddest puppy-dog face she can manage. “You wouldn’t hurt your little Princess, would you?” “Don’t think I won’t! This ass kicking has been a long time coming!” Will snickers to himself. “Little Princess….you're far from 'little'” Hunter just shakes his head. “I still can’t believe my former employer’s just a kid... that explains all the trips to the candy store she had me make... and the other weird errands.” James raises an eyebrow. “Weird errands?” Hunter nods “Yeah, like she had me steal hair from this boy band that’s in town” Will turns towards Hunter. “How was she was able to find you anyways?” Hunter grins, reaching into his pocket and pulling out some cards. “Oh, I hand out business cards.” Will takes the card from Hunter and blinks, Hunter smiles and proudly says: "I also have facebook, twitter, and my own website!" Will turns his attention to the card and reads out-loud: “Call Hunter if you want a job done right...dude, you’re called Mod Hunter and you’re named Hunter…that's also a bounty hunter?” Hunter shrugs. “It’s a code name, okay? You’re not suppose to use you’re real name in this line of work... it tends to get, well... hazardous...” The group turns to see Sui and Amaya arguing rather loudly, and they all sigh. At that moment, sparks fly in front of them. The group turns to see Drago-Ree, who is now joined by Agro Leet and a legion of SpammerBots. “$up 8y@7cH35?” Agro chuckles, and Will tilts his head. “Huh, you know, I completely forgot about dragon guy there....” Agro laughs. “iâ��m h3r3 7o make 5uR3 0l dr@G0n 8r3@7h h3r3 d03snâ��7 F@il!” Drago turns towards Agro, and tilts his head. “But I thought Mistress Ease’s words was “Get off your lazy ass for a change’?” Agro grumbles at Drago, he smacks his arm. “wh0 @5K3d you?!” Will lets out a deep sigh. “Guess we have to do this then, huh?” Arthur and Hunter nod. “Together then, old friend?” Hunter nods. “Wouldn’t have it any other way!” The group strap on their respective transformation devices, and Will and James shout, “User Access!” They are then joined by Hunter and Arthur, who add, “Mod Access!” All together, the group shouts, ‘LOG IN!” And the respective transformation devices respond: USER KIRYU LOGGING IN, DOWNLOADING... USER CONUNDRUM LOGGIN IN...DOWNLOADING HUNTER ACCESS GRATED DOWNLOADING.... WHITE ACCESS GRANTED DOWNLOADING... And each Mod suit appears over the respective owner’s body. Will poses heroically, shouting “NewsieKnight!” He is followed by James, who shouts, “PhotoBomber!” and Arthur, who shouts, “ModWhite!” Finally, Hunter shouts, “ModHunter!”. “g37 D3M!” Agro shouts, and the two groups go charging towards one another. “Amaya, we need to get out of here!!!” Sui shouts, but Amaya can only watch, mesmerized, as the heroes charge towards the bad guys. Sui reaches out towards his daughter and pulls her away, just as the groups come into contact with one another. PhotoBomber does a flying kick at Agro, who manages to block the attack with his swords, but ModHunter leapfrogs and follows up with a double kick. Agro lets out a grunt as he’s pushed back by this attack. ModHunter then follows up by taking both of his ModPincers and thrusting them forward, hitting Agro dead on, making him stagger back. “daMN YoU!” Agro cries in frustration. His swords begin glowing, and Agro unleashes a whirlwind of energy, slashing at them. Seeing this, James gulps. “Oooooh crap!” He braces himself and closes his eyes. A few seconds later, the dust begins to settle, and James finds himself in one piece, Hunter had blocked the attack. He looks over towards James, and gives him a thumbs up before rushing forward to engage Agro again. Meanwhile, Will and Arthur attack Dragon Ree simultaneously. Drago-Ree blocks the attack and shoves his attackers off of him. With a “Whooo... WATCHA!” he makes another strike. Will and Arthur both dodge out of the way, and as they dodge, Will allows his sword to be entangled by Drago’s nunchucks, and with one swift motion he manages to disarm Drago. “Nice one!” Arthur says, giving Will a thumbs up. Arthur then inserts his Mod Pass into the bottom of the axe’s handle, which responds with: “LOGIN ACCEPTED, CHARGING....” he begins to crouch down, his axe charging up with electricity around it. “Don’t think that’s enough to stop me! Whoooooo!!!!!!!” Drago-Ree gets into a defensive stance, but then hears another “LOGIN ACCEPTED, CHARGING... ” Drago turns to see that Will is also getting ready for a finisher, his sword engulfed in fire. “Oooooooooh sh-” Before Drago Ree can finish, both Will and Arthur strike him. His armor begins sparking as he falls back and explodes. Agro brings his swords up to guard just as Hunter’s knee drills collide with them, causing sparks to fly as the metal grinded against metal. He then moves out of the way, but as Agro pulls his arms away from his guarding stance, he sees James charging up his cannon and firing. Agro is hit by the blast and is thrown several feet back. He lands on the ground as all four heroes gather together. â��7Ch...7HI$ i5 L@m3...l@t3rz!”. Before Agro can vanish, Amya leaps into his arms with a dreamy sigh. “Take me home, darling!” A gasping Sui follows. “Wait! Amaya!” But before he can do anything, Agro and Amaya vanish. “Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!” Sui would shout. In the aftermath of the battle, Tony bows down, holding his bow for a good long while. “I’m sorry, Sui. I should’ve placed more faith into you....please...forgive me.” Sui lets out a sigh. “Get up, there’s no need for that. Besides...I still owe you one. If not for you, I wouldn’t have met my wife... or have this job.” Tony smiles, placing a hand on Sui’s arm. “Buy me a new car and we’ll call it even.” Sui stomps his foot on the ground. “For god’s sake, Tony! I work at a gas station! It’ll take a while with my salary!” Tony laughs .“Relax ,Sui....I was only kidding....I will bring Amaya back, you have my word.” Tony then snaps his fingers, and a limousine pulls up. Will and James’s jaws drop. “No way...we get to ride in a fricken limo?!” Tony puts his sunglasses on, and climbs into the limo. “Actually, you can walk home for all I care.” causing a shocked Will and James to go, “What?!”. “Consider it punishment for wanting to skip work today.” He signals for the driver to move. “Hey, wait! Tony! You can’t leave us here!” But much to their dismay, Tony is already gone, as was as Hunter and Arthur. “...We didn’t get the data from them!” James says in a panic, causing Will to shout, “Shit! Hunter! Arthur! Hey! Come baaaaaaack!” Next time On Tokunation Sentai Modranger! ?????: You’re all under arrest. Ai: But I’m innocent, I swear! Tony: Have you lost your mind!? Harmony: Don’t give up!

Access 18: Arrested Development Reggie stood on the rooftop of a tall building. He paced back and forth; he then glanced over the edge. From his viewpoint, the people of the city looked like indistinguishable, multi-colored ants. Reggie takes in a deep breath as he climbs on the edge of the building. He spreads his arms open and closes his eyes. He would then jump off the building. Earlier that day: For the Modrangers, things had become excruciatingly dull. They did nothing but hang out in Kyle’s room all day, watching T.V. and listening to Nathan’s bad jokes, which seemed to be in abundance. Matt had the T.V. Remote in his hand; he began to channel surf, holding onto a channel for all but five seconds. “Seen it, seen it...seen it...boooring...seen it...ew ponies...seen it....” Nathan sat in a bed next to him, and like a volcano erupting, he’d shout: “Will you just pick something already?! And Don’t. Mock. The. Ponies!!!” Matt finally decided on something which looked be some kind of talk show. After a moment of silence, Nathan is the first to speak up: “So what are your plans once this is all over?” He turns his head to his fellow ModRangers waiting for an answer. “I dunno, finish school and look for a job? I assume you’ll be doing the same Reg?” Matt asks, Reggie would nod in response. “So Reggie...I assume you’ll be sticking around then? Does that mean you and Ai will...y’know...” Reggie begins shaking his fist at him. “Nathan, I swear to god...finish what you’re about to say, and I’m going to sock you!” “KYLE! What do you plan to do once this is over?” The group turns towards Kyle, whom was still wrapped up in a full on body cast, he says something, but it becomes inaudible due to his bandages muffling his mouth. “I don’t know what he said but I’m pretty sure it was some sort of eyebrow raising Luka-related fantasy....” The group nods in agreement, but Nathan then turns towards Jordan, whom was merely sitting there lost in a daydream. “Jordan!” Nathan yells, attempting to get Jordan’s attention. Jordan snaps out of his day dream and turns to see his team looking at him. “Huh? What? is there something on my face?”. Nathan shakes his head “No...dude are you alright? You’ve been real quiet lately.” Jordan lets out a sigh “You guys remember my old boss?” Reggie places a hand on his chin. “The guy you’re always raging about? Mr.Jerkassface?” Jordan nods. “Yeah him...he came by my house the other day asking if I’d take my old job back.” Nathan’s mouth would hang open. “And you’re going to take him up on it?” Jordan shakes his head. “I...I don’t know. Well, I told him I can’t go back now because of certain commitments but...after? I’m not sure...he seemed really desperate and apologized for being such a ass...even offered me triple my original pay...” Matt shakes his head. “Dude, going back to your former boss is like going back to your ex girlfriend...and what’s to say that he won’t go back to being Mr.Jerkface once you start working again?” Joran sighs. “I know, I know...but Kristin’s been talking about having a kid lately and well...I can’t always count on Tony to bail me out.” “But dude! Working in a toy store! That’s practically every toy nerd’s dream!” Nathan yells. Jordan lets out another sigh. “You’ll understand what it’s like to be an adult someday.” Nathan frowns and pouts “Aw...but but I don’t wanna!”once again the air becomes silent and heavy. Nathan is the first to break the heavy silence: “Soooo about that Harmony character...” All eyes suddenly turned towards Nathan. “What about her?” Reggie asks raising an eyebrow. “Well doesn’t she seem mysterious to you? I mean she talked about being our savior and all, and yet she let OnoRed and his crony squad mop the floor with us.” Matt rubs his chin “Heeey yeah that’s right...I do remember her saying something along those lines. Come to think of it, the two times she DID appear, Reggie’s life was in mortal peril.” Nathan and Matt then turn towards Reggie, whom was staring back at them, there was a heavy awkwardness between them. “Um....w-why are you two looking at me like that?”. “Don’t you wanna know more about Harmony? We aren’t going to get anywhere unless we break a few more bones!”. Matt says. Reggie blinks and shakes his head “W-what! Y-yes I want to find out more about her, but not if it means life and limb...help me out here Jordan!” Jordan shakes his head and waves his hands. “Ooooh no...I’m not getting involved in this!”. “C’mon Reggie, we just wanna break that other arm of yours!” Matt says with a smirk. Reggie would suddenly jump out of his bed shouting “No!” He runs out of his room. Nathan pushes himself up onto his wheelchair, and Matt would hop in behind him. “After him!” Matt shouts, Nathan scowls at Matt “Dude, this isn’t an electrical wheelchair, you’re going to have to push!”. Matt gets off “O-oh right...sorry.” Nathan would point his finger forward “Now push! Push like the wind!” Matt begins running after Reggie, causing Jordan to sigh heavily. “Then again, going back to my old job would mean I won’t have to deal with their dumb-ass antics anymore...” “Get away from me!!!” Reggie tore down the hallway with Matt and Nathan closing in behind him “You’re only making this harder on yourself, Reg!” Nathan shouts. “Yeah, now we’re going to have to break your legs too!”. Matt says in response. Reggie raises a concerned eyebrow, and turns back towards the two, screaming: “There is something seriously messed up with the two of you!” He turns the corner and goes into the first door he sees. He closes the door behind him and sighs with relief. “Hey handsome! I was just coming to see you!” The office Reggie came into just happened to belong to Ai. Reggie places a finger on his lips “Not so loud, Ai! Matt and Nathan are out for my blood!”. Ai glances over his shoulder, she could hear Nathan shout: “He went this way!”. Ai sighs. “Wait here, and go hide under my desk...I’ll take care of this.” Reggie nods, he stands up and does exactly that while Ai steps out of her office just as Nathan and Matt stopped in front of her. “Hey Ai, have you seen Reggie anywhere?” Matt asks. Ai places a finger on her chin “Oh! I think he went that way” “Thanks Ai! Hurry before the trail gets cold!” Matt would quickly push Nathan in the random direction that she pointed in. “The coast is clear!” Ai whipsers to Reggie. A concerned Reggie would step out from his hiding spot. “Thanks Ai, you’re the greatest! I owe you one...” Ai smiles, she gives Reggie a quick peck on the cheek. “Buy me dinner and we’ll call it even!” She smiles. ----- With smiles on their faces, Will and James would insert Hunter’s and Arthur’s Mod Passes into the Pass scanner. The scanner would respond: “RECOGNIZED: MODWHITE, DOWNLOADING....”. “RECOGNIZED, MODHUNTER, DOWNLOADING....”. With a sigh, Arthur and Hunter set their belts on the table. “Well that was a hoot and a half.” Arthur nods in agreement. “Indeed, I had forgotten how exhilarating it is, fighting with the ModSuit.”. Tony takes the belts from them. “Oh and...sorry for making a mess of your office, Tony...and for well...stuffing you’re cute secretary in a locker.” Hunter rubs the back of his neck innocently, causing Tony to shake his head back and forth. “No harm done, If you wanted you’re belt, Hunter...you could’ve just asked.” Hunter laughs. “Yeah but where’s the fun in that?” He grins. At that moment, the group could hear Matt shout: “You won’t get away from us this time!” Followed by Nathan’s: “Stairs won’t save you this time!” Reggie runs into the command center shouting “Leave me ALONE!” followed closely behind by Matt and Nathan. The trio would do a runaround around the room until they came to Tony’s desk. Reggie would desperately try to hide behind Tony while Nathan and Matt tried to go around to get him. An annoyed Tony shouts, “Will you cut that out! What the hell is going on here?!” Reggie stands at attention with Matt and Nathan, the three would point at each other, and at the same time they say: “He, they I...we!” Tony would raise his hand. “One at a time, ONE AT A TIME!”. Nathan looks over his shoulder and notices hunter. He lets out a scream “Aaaaaah! You’re the jerk from last night!!!!” Matt cracks his knuckles. “It’s payback time!”. “Yeah!” Nathan reponds. Hunter begins laughing hysterically. “Oh please...I take the two of you even if one of you weren’t in a wheelchair...with one hand even!”. Offended, Nathan bellows, “Hey!” He glances over towards Matt “Matt kick his ass for me!” Matt glares at Nathan “Me?! What the hell are YOU gonna do?!” Nathan rubs his neck innocently. “GIve you moral support?” Matt glares at Nathan once more, crossing his arms together. “What? I’m crippled here!” The two then begin to argue. Seeing this, Hunter and Arthur would laugh. “Things never change do they?” Hunter shakes his head. “Remember when we were like that?” Arthur nods in response. “AHEM!” At that moment, the group ceased what they were doing, each would turn to an unfamiliar figure that stood at the door. He was dressed in a business suit very similar to the one worn by Phoenix Wright but in a much darker shade of blue. “You’re not suppose to be in here! Who are you?!?” Matt screams out. The strange man would reach into his pocket pulling out a golden badge. “Actually, this badge says I can go anywhere I want...and I’m officer Vincent...FBI...you’re all under arrest.” The group remained speechless for a moment, shocked expressions hung on everyone’s faces until Nathan’s the first to speak “Ooooh so you’re a Flat Broke Idiot huh?”. Vincent glares at Nathan, five minutes later he had Nathan out of his wheel chair and pinned hard to the table. Nathan screams out: “UNCLE! UNCLE!!!!!” As Vincent began to handcuff him. “You have the right to remain silent, anything you say CAN and WILL be used against you...emphasis on the SILENT part”. Hunter would stretch and yawn. “Oh will you look at the time. Love to stay Tony, but me and Arthur have a plane to catch....later!” Arthur would nod and the two would walk out of the command centre, Arthur waves at Vincent as they walk out. “Hey Vincent.” Vincent nonchalantly waves back. “Hey guys” In response. Nathan would begin to struggle a little “What?! You’re not going to arrest them too?!” Vincent would tighten his grip on Nathan. “I thought I told you to be quiet!”. Nathan's free hand begins to slap the table. “Ow, ow, ow! Hey careful! I’m already in one cast here!” Vincent turns towards a shocked Tony and smiles “So how’s Sky and Jess?” He asks. Tony smiles. “Sky’s on tour and Jess is still in school.” Matt raises an eyebrow “Really? The two of you are just going to make small talk?” “QUIET!” Vincent suddenly tasers Matt. Matt falls down and begins to twitch uncontrollably. “Hey, do you think I can borrow that?” Reggie asks. Vincent turns towards Reggie and is about to taser him too when Reggie raises his hands up “Kidding! I’m Kidding!”. Tony lets out a sigh. “What’s this about Vincent?” Tony inquires “Have you lost your mind?!”. Vincent throws a handcuffed Nathan back into his chair. “I wish I did, Tony but I have strict orders to inspect every square inch of your operation...my superiors are not happy with how you’re doing things Tony, and if I find things unsatisfactory...I’m going to have to shut you all down.” Tony’s jaw drops. “You can’t be serious!” Vincent nods. “I am...until I finish my investigation, this place is under lockdown....I’ll be taking these for safe keeping.” Vincent reaches over and takes the Mod and User Belts from Tony, along with his own belt. Vincent would then glance over towards Will and James, whom were both fiddling with their handcuffs. “Haven’t we met before?” Vincent asks. Will and James look up and both gulp, remembering that they previously encountered Detective Vincent when he arrested them for harassing a celebrity. They quickly shake their heads and Will is the first to speak “Uh no officer! This is the first time we’ve met...”. James nods “Yup! We just have one of those faces!”Vincent rubs his chin. “But I’m sure I’ve arrested you before...” James would frantically shake his head. “Again we just have that kind of face!” Vincent would continue to stroke his chin, eying will and James suspiciously. ------ Faster then Amaya could blink, she found herself thrown into the Anon’s prison cell with two Spammerbots standing guard over her. She had a metal cup in hand which she began to rattle against the cage bars. “Heeeeeeey!” She begins to shout. “Don’t I get a right to first trial?!” Amaya then pouts. “Hmmph, you’d think a group of evil world conquerors would be more hospitable!” She continues to rattle her cup until an annoyed Ease shouts “Quiet you!” Ease struts down the hallway until she was at Amaya’s door, she eyed the rusted metal cup in her hand. “And where did you get that?!” Amaya points to the Spammerbot that stood to her left, the spammerbot would look towards Amaya, then back at Ease, he couldn’t shake his head fast enough. Ease leans in close and glares at the Spammerbot. “I’ll deal with YOU later!” Ease turns and points her finger at Amaya “As for YOU! If you don’t be quiet, we’ll show you just how inhospitable we can be!”. Amaya laughs “Oooooh tough talk coming from Dracula’s daughter. For the love of god, please tell me that you don’t sparkle when exposed to the sun!” Amaya would suddenly find herself starring down the end of Ease’s rifle. “I don’t drink blood, but I can sure spill it...would you like a first hand demonstration?” Amaya gulps and raises her hands up. “I...I’ll be good.” she squeaks meekly. Ease would crack a grin, she holsters her rifle and crosses her arms. “Now then...explain to me how a regular human was able to cross over to the Cyberworld. Normal humans cannot exist in this plane.” Amaya smiles. “Yeah about that...see I’m not exactly what you would consider “normal”.” Ease would raise an eyebrow. “Uh...it’s easier for me to just demonstrate.” wire tendrils would suddenly extend out from her fingers. They snake around and inject themselves into the lock. Within minutes, the lock becomes undone and Amaya’s cell door would open. “TA DA!” Amaya says bowing but once again she found herself staring at the end of Ease’s rifle. “Back. In your cell.NOW!” Amaya gulps, and quickly moves to re-close her cell doors. “Just who are you anyway?” Ease says with disgust. A proud smirk finds its way across Amaya’s face. “I am Amaya, daughter of General Sui! You might’ve heard of him?” Ease simply stared back blankly at Amaya. “General of the Virusion Army?” Amaya says, as if expecting Ease to know what she meant. Again, Ease’s blank stare just merely continued. “C’mon, you HAD to have heard of him! He was part of the army that attacked Cali before you guys!” “Did she just say the Virusions?!” Ease mumbled to herself.The two turn to Hax, who wore a bright smile on her face. She quickly ran down the hallway with Agro behind her. “YOUR father is THE General Sui?!” Amaya smiles. “The one and only”. A high pitch squeal would come from Hax’s mouth, causing Ease and Amaya to both plug their ears. She reaches her hand into the bars and shakes Amaya’s hand. “I am a big, BIG fan of your father’s work! His creations were works of art! But I thought all the Virusions perished in the final battle?!” Amaya shook her head. “Nope, my father deserted his army before the final battle took place and went into hiding.” Hax would once again squeal. “Then he’s alive?! You HAVE to let me meet him!” Hax’s delight would cease when she hears a familiar bellowing growl. Viralindas walks down the hallway. “EaaaaaSE, WHAAT is the status of the INTERROGATION?” Viralindas says with a bellowing tone. Ease lets out a sigh. “Going nowhere Master...but she claims to be the daughter of some old relic from before our time.” Amaya glares at Ease. “Hey! Don’t insult my father you old hag!” She yells. Ease eye twitches in anger. She then turns and glares back at Amaya, as if challenging her. “Old?!” Ease argues. Viralindas would growl once again, and Ease bows. “F-forgive me, Master” . Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Amaya making a motion with her hand that looked a lot like a whip cracking, followed by the noise. Ease turns to glare at Amaya, but Viralindas would once again growl. “Master! Master! We HAVE to let her help us! The monsters the Virusions created were MUCH stronger than our own! And she claims to be the daughter of their monster creator! Think about it! With her on our side, there’s no way we can lose!” Hax says pleadingly. Viralindas would nod. “RelAAASE the PRISONER!” He commands. Ease’s mouth hung. “But Master! This whelp has no respect! I doubt she would be of help to anyone!”. Amaya would then bow her head. “You have my debt, Master. Please, allow me to show my worth to you.” Viralindas simply nods in her direction, Amaya would then wink at Agro whom then blushes. “C’mon. c’mon!!!! You’re teaching me everything you know!!!!” A delighted Hax would grab Amaya by the wrist, and drag her down the hallway. When no one was looking, she turns back to Ease and sticks her tongue at her. Ease’s eyes would widened, she could feel her temper rising as she shoots mental daggers back at her, her hands tightened into fists. ---- Ai was the first to be escorted into a dark room. She sat in her down and fidgeted uncomfortably in the cold, metal chair. A light suddenly turns on which for a second which completely blinds her. Her vision would eventually adjust and she sees Vincent standing in the intense light. Ai bites her lower lip and blurts out: “But I’m innocent! I swear! I’m completely harmless, wouldn’t hurt a fly!” Vincent raises an eyebrow. “Oh really?” Beside Vincent was an old looking television set. He pushes a tape in and the TV would begin to show static. Soon the video began to play, it was of Ai inside a clothing store knocking over a display of mannequins. The mannequins dominoed over, nearly knocking down a woman that was standing on the other side. No one was hurt, but the store’s window was shattered into a million pieces. Ai’s eyes widened upon seeing this footage, her eyes would then narrow towards Vincent “I want to speak to my lawyer!” Vincent sighs. “Look, Miss Kurosawa...the store isn’t pressing charges against you, that’s not why you’re in this room. I just want your honest opinion: do you think the ModRangers are doing more harm than good?” Ai pouts “I still want to speak to my lawyer.” Causing Vincent to once again sigh. “...Next!” It was Reggie’s turn to sit in the interrogation room, he sat there with his arms crossed “I ain’t sayin nothin!” He spoke with a thick, fake, heavy Italian accent, like the ones heard in old mafia movies. “For the last time, Reggie, I’m not pressing charges against your team! No one is getting arrested today, but whether or not I shut you down depends on your honest answers...so I’ll ask again: will you be held accountable for any future collateral?!” Reggie continues to cross his arms, and once again says: “I ain’t sayin nothin!” in the fake Italian accent causing Vincent to sigh, He places fingers over his eyes. “I can see who the idiot of the group is...” Reggie springs from his chair and shouts: “HEY!”. “NEXT!” Reggie is shown out of the room, all the while grumbling. Matt is the next to be escorted into the room and as it closed he shouts: “Yeah well I can see whom the jackass of THEIR group is!”. Jordan looks up from Reggie and says: “You do know that these walls aren’t soundproof?” A shocked Reggie turns towards Jordan “Um...they aren’t?” He asks. Jordan shakes his head in response. “Oh...well...um...shit...” Reggie says nervously. Things suddenly became quite uncomfortable as he glances back at the door and gulps. “Oh would you look at the time, I really should be going...have fun with the interrogation guys!” Reggie ran out of the room as fast as he could. ---- Reggie continues to dive down several stories as gravity began taking effect on his body. Before he has a chance to go splat on the pavement, a white blur rushes up and catches him. Reggie opens his eyes, and finds himself back on the rooftop of the building, looking over him was Harmony, whom smiled as he awoke. “Don’t give up!” Reggie blinked in confusion. “Excuse me?” He asks. “Don’t throw away your life so easily like that. I know things look bleak, but things have a way of working out.” Reggie continues to blink in confusion. “Um, yeah about that...I didn’t jump off the building to kill myself....I did it to get your attention. See, the guys seem to think that you won’t let me die...so I was just testing their theory...looks like they were right.” Harmony looked at Reggie, now she had a confused look on her face, which then turned to a hurtful expression. “...How cruel. I thought you were really going to take your own life...you scared me half to death!”. A guilty Reggie rubbed the back of his neck “Well that wasn’t my intent I had a good reason for it!” Harmony crosses her arms. “And that reason is...?” Reggie gulps “Well...I just wanted to get to know you better...and I don’t exactly have your phone number.” Harmony would let out a sigh. “What about that girl you’re always with?”. Reggie would blush as red as a cherry. “W-well we’ve went out together a couple of times...but it’s not like we’re a...couple or anything….” Harmony shakes her head. “Then ask for her number, not mine.” She turns to leave, and leaps away from the building, causing Reggie to gasp “W-wait! Wait! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!!!!!!” Reggie follows after Harmony, but ends up tumbling down the building again, screaming as he fell. Seeing this Harmony gasps, she dives down and catches Reggie, the two of them land on the ground, getting odd looks from many a passersby in the process. “You really should be more careful...I swear you’re as clumsy as you’re girlfriend.” Reggie pushes himself away from Harmony “For the last time, she’s not my girlfriend! She's just a friend that happens to be a girl!” He yells. “In any case, I must really be off...ACK!” Harmony then sees Reggie waking into the busy traffic. Once again, Harmony leaps into action, and Reggie finds himself at the opposite end of the street. “Wow...you really are my guardian angle...” Harmony scowls at Reggie. “What would it take for you to cease this idiocy?!” Reggie smiles innocently at Harmony “Have lunch with me?” Harmony looks away from Reggie “Tch...fine...but you will not find me the talkative sort!” From down the street, Ai sees Harmony and Reggie walking down, she tilts her head. “Ara? Who’s that with Reggie-Kun..hmmmm....” She eyed Reggie suspiciously and began following closely behind. ----- Shortly, the two arrived at a cafe. The situation became a little uncomfortable, as true to her word, Harmony did not speak the entire time. She was drinking her second glass of long island tea while Reggie was waiting for his food, he was tapping his fingers rapidly against the table’s surface. “Sooooooooo.....” Reggie began to say, his voice trailed off at the end. “Food’s taking a long time to get here.” Harmony continued to give Reggie the cold shoulder while sipping on her drink. “What’s the deal with you anyway? I mean are you a robot...? Cyborg? Or what?”. Harmony wipes away the tea from her mouth and says: “I may not be entirely human, but that does not mean I do not enjoy human activities.” She says without even making eye contact with him. “Huh...I see...so you and Ease...” Before Reggie could even finish the word, Harmony cuts his sentence short by saying: “No relation”. Reggie could only blink in response “Riiiiiiight...” And things would once again return to being silent. Across from where Reggie was sitting, Ai wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses glances over towards Reggie’s table. She begins to grind her teeth together. “Who is that woman with Reggie-san!? He doesn’t know any women except for me! Blast, I can’t hear anything they’re saying! I should’ve sat closer to the patio!” She thinks to herself, all the while grinding her teeth together. A waiter approaches Ai. “Are you ready to order something Miss?” Ai would shoot an irritated glare at the waiter, she scowls and says: “I’ll order when I’m ready, so buzz off!”, the waiter could only blink in confusion but walks away from Ai’s table anyway. A few minutes later, the waiter returns to Ai’s table. “I’m sorry, Miss but if you aren’t going to order anything, I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”. Two waiters would suddenly pick Ai off the table “Huh? Wha-?! U-Unhand me! TASUKATE!!!!!!” Ai begins to kick and scream as she’s dragged away from the restaurant and escorted outside. Reggie looks up from his plate of food “Huh that sounded a lot like Ai...” He stands up but ends up bumping the table, the bump would knock would send Reggie’s coffee spilling all over Harmony’s clothing. Harmony gasps “You clumsy oaf! I’m wearing WHITE you idiot, this coffee is going to stick out like a sore thumb!” Reggie gulps and picks up some paper towel “Harmony I am so, so SO sorry!” Harmony scowls at Reggie. “I can see your girlfriend’s clumsiness has rubbed off on you!” She snatches the towels out of Reggie’s hands “H-hey! For the last time, she isn’t my girlfriend!”. “And I can see that this was a waste of time...I’m going! Next time you call me for something trivial like this, I can guarantee you that you’ll be sorry for it, Boy!” Harmony would then vanish. “H-hey! Wait! Don’t go! Harmony! Don’t be like that!!!!” Reggie could see the group of restaurant diners looking at him. “No relation my ass...she just totally called me boy like Ease does!” Reggie leans on the table, but ends up slipping and hits his head. “Owe...Harmony’s right...Ai’s clumsiness IS rubbing off on me...” --- From across the restaurant, Will and James sat handcuffed in the back of Vincent’s police car. “Hey um...are the handcuffs really necessary?” Vincent adjusts the mirror so he would look at Will and James. “Kinda...I mean the two of you did try to run away from me three times.” Will sighs. “He has a point” James fiddles with his handcuffs when he says: “So we have a dancer...an...I don’t know what...a wannabe knight...a mercenary, and an FBI agent?” Vincent grins. “Quite the oddball group eh?” Will nods in response. “Yeah I’ll say...but why the FBI?” Vincent crosses his arms. “Well, after the final battle, I started to miss the adrenaline rush you’d get from fighting in a mod suit. I tried mercenary work for awhile but...I needed something closer to home. With Tony’s help, I managed to get into the police force...rose through the ranks pretty quickly. Eventually I was recruited by the FBI....and here we are.” From his seat Vincent glanced up when he heard a crowd of people screaming and running in a panic. As they cleared, they could see a monster ahead of them which looked like a combination of Kamen Rider Diend mixed in with a judge’s outfit. “Aren’t you boys going to take care of him?” Vincent asks. James sighs “We would but uh...welll” Will holds up his handcuffed hands. “That and you still have our gear.” Vincent nods “Fair enough...tell you boys what...defeat that monster with minimum collateral...and I’ll drop all the charges. I’ll even keep my boss of your back.” Will and James both nod, Vincent moves in with his keys, he releases their handcuffs and passes them their Userbelts and their passes. Will and James climb out of the car, and it’s then that the monster notices them. “Hey, who do you think you are?!” Will cries out “Just a passing through judge…remember that” Will and James could only look at each other. “He’s gotta be kidding us...” Will’s eyes narrow at James “let’s just kick his ass already....” James nods and the pair strap on their Userbelts, shouting “USER ACCESS!” The Judge themed monster would quickly take out what looked like a Kamen Rider card as used by Decade, but with the image of a court room on it. “Not so fast...” The card begins to glow, and the environment suddenly becomes an empty courtroom. “Log In!” James and Will would insert their Passes into their respective belts, but after a few minutes they blink when they realized they were still in their civilian forms “Hmmmm....that’s strange, the powers are never late" Will would smack James on his arm. “You dolt, he stopped our powers from working somehow!” JudgEnd would nod. “That is correct. You are in my world now, humans. Here, no weapons...or powers may work. Here only the law rules...and mine are absolute. Will and James, for the crime of monster slaughter, I declare you guilty!” From the shadows, four Spammerbots would emerge and grab WIll and James by the arms. In front of JudgEnd, a medieval style guillotine appears. “H-hey wait!” Will says as he struggles out of his grasp. “Don’t we get the right to a fair trial?”. James nods “Y-Yeah! your name has judge in it!! That doesn’t make you the jury too!” JudgEnd would sigh deeply. “You damn humans and your stupid laws...very well! You may have you’re trial...whom will represent your defense?” The Spammerbots release Will and James, they then grab Vincent and push him in front of them. “Him!” Vincent blinks and points at himself “Me?! But I’m a cop! Not a defense attorney! The two fields are completely unrelated from one another!”. “Yeah well, you’re all we got!” Will says, James nods. “And, you know more about the legal system than either of us!” Vincent sighs. “Fine...but you’re so buying me a beer or two after this” JudgEnd would nod “Very well...court is now in session!” JudgEnd bangs his gavel. “First witness, you may take the stage!” The Emoticron monster sat at the witness stand, on his face display the smiling face emoticon. “Name and occupation please?” He turns towards JudgeEnd but merely continues to display the smiling face. “Your honor, I object to this witness!” Vincent would say, JudgEnd turns to face Vincent. “on what grounds?” Vincent points back to the Emoticron. “Look at him! He can’t even talk! This witness is unfit to testify!” Will lets out a sigh. “Didn’t stop Phoenix Wright from cross examining a parrot....” He says but Vincent quickly hits him on the arm. “Idiot! Do you WANT your head under that guillotine??!” JudgEnd simply nods. “Very well...witness you’re dismissed.” JudgEnd bangs his gavel and the Emoticron displays the sad smiley face. “Next witness” The Emoticron monster disappears. Ease now sat at the witness table, she sat there arms crossed with a bored look on her face. “Name and occupation please.” Ease nods “Ease, I’m in charge of military operations for Master Viralindas’ glorious army.”. JudgEnd nods. “You may begin your testimony.” Ease suddenly becomes emotional, she bursts into tears “Oh it was terrible! There I was minding my own business, when the ModRangers attacked me! I tried to get them to stop but they would have none of it! And those two there…they were the worst!” She continues to cry and the crowd gasps. “Objection your honor! The witness is clearly lying through her teeth! I have video evidence proving that she isn’t as weak as she wants us to believe!” In his hand Vincent held a remote, he points it to a nearby television set and pushes play. The video displays footage of Ease going toe to toe with OnoRed which caused murmurs in the crowd. Ease suddenly shoots a glare towards Vincent. “I’LL KILL YOU!” She leaps from her seat but two Spammerbots stop her, Ease would be out of reach by mere inches. JudgEnd bangs his gavel. “Remove the witness please.” Ease struggles as the Spammerbots drag her away. “You’re lucky my gun doesn’t work, otherwise you’re head will be rolling on the ground right now! Unhand me you stupid bucket of bolts! Unhand me right now before I turn you all into scrap!!!” “Does the jury have the veridic?” Buri stands up, in his hand he holds a piece of paper, but he quickly crumples the paper up and tosses it over his shoulder. “We find the defendants...GULTY! YEE HAW!”. Will and James’ mouths would hang open “Whaaaaat?!” The two would shout, as the group of Monsters and Spammerbots cheered. Two Spammerbots would come over to grab Will and James. “Prepare the accused for their execution!” He says. James would scowl “Nuts to this!!!” Will would slam the back of his head into the Spammerbot, while James would elbow the one holding onto him, much to the objections and boos of the crowd. JudgEnd would bang on his gavel repeatedly. “Order, order, I will have order!” Will and James each grab a chair, the two of them shout “Order THIS!” And both throw their respective chairs at JudgEnd. The first chair hits him, and he’s unfazed. But the second chair manages to stun him. This causes the illusion of the courtroom to suddenly shatter around them. The monsters also disappear just as they were about to dog-pile on top of them, Will and James both sigh with relief. JudgEnd scowls “How DARE you disrespect the law?!”. Vincent smiles “Please, don’t make me laugh. You’re idea of the law is a joke, and as someone who serves it, it makes me sick!”. Vincent glances towards Will and James and nods. The duo strap on their respective belts and shout: “User Access! Log In!” joined by Vincent’s “Mod Access! Log in!” inserting the passes into the belts, the belts respond with: USER KIRYU LOGGING IN, DOWNLOADING... USER CONUNDRUM, LOGGING IN, DOWNLOADING... NAVY, LOGGING IN DOWNLOADING... And each suit would appear over their respective bodies. “NewsieKnight!” Will shouts posing heroically. “PhotoBomber!” James shouts posing Heroically. “ModNavy!” Vincent shouts, posing cooly. “Let’s get’em!” Vincent shouts, followed by Will and James’ “Right!” The trio charge towards JudgEnd, who just merely stands there not moving an inch. JudgEnd suddenly throws something towards the trio, Vincent dodges out of the way but James is hit square in the forehead by the object, the object lands by their feet and looks like a thick, hard cover black book. “Ow! Did he just throw the book at us?!” Will picks up the book, examining it from all sides. “Well, he threw A book at us...hmmmm....” Vincent cocks his head at the sight “Uh guys...I don’t think it’s a good idea to be messing around with that.” Will laughs. “Oh what’s the worst that can happen?” Suddenly the ‘book’ begins making a beeping noise. “Um...is that what I think it is?” James asks, Will sighs, “Shit...” the ‘book’ suddenly explodes in their hands. Vincent would shield himself as he’s wafted by the sudden smoke storm that kicked up. “WIll! James!” Coughing could be heard as the smoke cleared. “Ow...talk about one helluva paper cut...” Will rubs the back of his head. “Me and my big dumb mouth...DON’T SAY IT! Vincent!” Vincent shrugs “I wasn’t gonna...” But Will glares at him. “Yeah, but I know you were going to!” “INCOMING!!!!!!” JudgEnd leaps towards the two with his now oversized gavel in his hand. Both Will and James dodge out of the way just as the gavel comes down, leaving a big crater on the ground upon impact. Vincent quickly takes a few shots at him with his cross-bow looking blaster, but to no avail as the shots are blocked by JudgEnd. While JudgEnd was busy blocking ModNavy’s attacks, Will and James began attacking his blind spots. The combined assault blow JudgEnd several feet back, he lands and staggers to get up. “Viral Monster JudgEnd, your crime is bending the law and twisting it for your own benefit! How do you plea?” JudgEnd staggers to his feet. “I AM THE LAW!” The monster shouts, he moves to reach for his gavel but James quickly shoots the weapon with his Photo Cannon, the gavel shatters into a million pieces and Vincent turns to Will and James “Jury, how do you find the defendant?” Will and James would both give Vincent a thumbs down, and Vincent nods. “Delete Approved! JudgEnd, your punishment is death!” Vincent would hold his ModCrossbow and inserts his ModPass into the weapon. He begins to lower it while energy begins to build up inside the weapon. When the energy reaches a certain point, Vincent unleashes it. The energy that left would take the form of an arrow, it travels at high speed towards JudgEnd and pierces him. He is then caught in a large explosion which is followed by a two story tall fireball. As the day starts to wind down, Vincent hands Will and James his ModPass. “Here, this is for you...you need it right?” Will and James merely stare at the pass, perplexed. “What about the charges?” Will asks, to which Vincent smiles. “Well, unfortunately I didn’t find enough evidence to really make a case out of this, but you boys better keep your nose out of trouble, if I hear you’re stalking any more celebrities, I might be back” Vincent winks at Will and James, causing the two to gulp, but they nod slowly. Will takes Vincent’s pass and inserts into the scanner, the scanner responds: ‘RECOGNIZED, MODNAVY....DOWNLOADING....” ---- Back at the base, Nathan and Matt took turns keeping Reggie in a tight headlock. “I don’t think she’s coming....” Nathan would say. “Give it a few minutes...”. Reggie futilely attempts to struggle out of the lock. “Uh...guys, I keep telling you that I really pissed her off! I don’t think she’s gonna come...not unless I’m on fire or something....” Matt passes Reggie to Nathan, and with his free hand he scratches his chin. “On fire....eh?” Reggie yells “Don’t even think about it, Matt!”Ai approaches the three with a smile on her face. “Reggie-Kun!” She happily skips over towards the three. “You know...we could let Ai perform one of her experiments...” Reggie yells once more “Nathan, don’t be giving her any ideas!” Ai bends over, she had her hands behind her back. “Boys, do you mind if I borrow Reggie for a second?” Nathan and Matt blink, but the two nod, and Nathan releases Reggie from his hold. Reggie cracks his neck back into place and smiles “Thanks Ai you saved my life!” Ai giggles. “Oooooh don’t thank me just yet” Ai then gives Reggie the evil eye, causing Reggie to gulp. “(She couldn’t have saw me with Harmony...could she?)” Reggie thinks to himself tugging at his shirt collar. “Can I see you in my lab later?” Reggie nods. “Uh...sure? What for?” Ai giggles. “Oh just wanted to run a few tests…don't worry they won't hurt a bit…" Reggie sighs in relief. "THEY'LL HURT A LOT!" "Reggie gulps “Crap! She knows!” Next Time on Tokunation Sentai ModRanger! Tony: There’s nothing we CAN do! Matt: : So this was all a waste of time then!? Will & James: Say what!? Ease: I can help with your current predicament...but it’s going to cost you. Access 19: The Rusted Blade

Access 19: The Rusted Blade Reggie sits on the cold metal slab that is Ai’s work bench. He rubs his arms, while Ai places her tools away with a smile upon her face. “There, that wasn’t so bad was it?” Reggie grumbles. “Easy for you to say...” Ai quickly turns back and glares at him. “What was that?!” Reggie shakes his head. “N-Nothing Ai...” Ai’s laboratory is a mess, filled to the brim with things that look like something out of an old science fiction movie. Reggie takes a quick look around and notices a half finished robotic exoskeleton, which is made up of a mishmash of different Spammerbot parts, salvaged from one of their battles. “You building a robot Ai?” Reggie asks. Ai nods smiling brightly at Reggie. “Yes! I’m building a helper robot to make Kyle’s recovery that much more comfortable but don’t tell him...it’s a surprise okay?” Ai places a finger on her lips, and Reggie nods. “Sooo...you want to help me test out the robot too?” Reggie tugs at his shirt collar. “G-gee, would you look at the time? I’d love to Ai, but I just remembered that I had to help Jordan with...stuff....later!” Reggie quickly runs out of the room. --- Inside the command centre, Will and James stand in front of a large, supercomputer-esque looking machine. The machine has an open slot, big enough for the Pass Scanner, and attached to the machine is the still-damaged Mod Belts. “Care to do the honors, James?” Will asks, handing him the Pass Scanner. James nods. "“Will I!”. Without hesitation, James takes the Pass Scanner from Will. “Uh...Will...are you sure it’s a good idea handing delicate equipment like that to James?” Nathan asks, causing James to scowl in response. “Shut it, Nosan! I’m not Ai!” At that moment, Reggie comes running into the Command Centre. “What I miss? What I miss?!” he asks in between gasps of air. “Hey, I see you got away from Dr. Frankenstein.” Nathan smirks. “Careful Reggie, we wouldn’t want her sending the monster stomping after you!” Matt and Nathan both laugh, causing Reggie to scowl. “Oh, shut up the both of you!” “Don’t tell us to shut up, you shut up!” The three continue to banter back and forth, each one telling the other to shut up, before Jordan shouts, “Why don’t all of you shut up and let Will and James do their thing?!” They can only watch on, but Will nods, and James inserts the Pass Scanner into the machine. Within minutes, the room darkens, only to be illuminated by five monitors, each one displaying the characteristics of a different Mod Suit. “Yellow, Cyan, Hunter, White, Navy...looks like we got them all!” Will and James both give each other a high five. “Not all of them” Reggie says. Will and James both turn towards Reggie. “Say what?!” Jordan nods. “Yeah, you’re missing Bronze.” Will and James look towards them with shocked expressions, before both hanging their heads in defeat. “Aweeee maaaaan.....” Will sighs. “If he wants us to do another BS errand, I am DONE!” “You won’t need to worry about that...” All eyes now turn to the to the door. Tony stands there with a grim look on his face. He snaps his fingers, and the screens displaying the suits collapse and the lights turn on. “What do you mean by that??” Jordan asks, but Tony says nothing. He silently approaches his desk as all eyes continue to follow him. “Tony, are you going to tell us what happened, or what?” Tony takes in a deep breath. “ModBronze...gave his life for us during the final days of the Virusion War...” A shocked gasp falls over the crowd. ---- The Virusion War ended with the death of it’s general. The team of Original Mod Rangers made their way through the fortress as it crumbled around them. Tony was wearing an Prototype suit, one which shared many similarities to his own current suit. In front of them, ModBronze lead the charge as he cut down a foot soldier that shared many qualities of the SpammerBots. ModCyan lagged behind the rest of the group, and he tripped and fell onto his knees. “Jess!” ModBronze cried, and he quickly ran to his side and knelt down. “Leave me, Ken! I’m only slowing you down!” Ken shook his head back and forth. “Stow that talk, no one’s getting left behind on my watch! We’re almost to the entrance! C’mon Jess, I know you’re tougher than this! Stand up!” Jesse nodded “A-alright...” He took Ken’s hand into his, and with Ken’s help managed to get up to his feet, though his legs were shaking. “C’mon!” The group continued to run down the corridor, but meeting them was a foe Ken thought he had long vanquished. A Virusion general stood in their way. His armor resembled a version of Garo’s armor, but more high tech looking, and with a furred collar around his neck. “Khan!” Ken shouted. Khan laughed. “I told you...they don’t call me an Immortal for nothing. I cannot die, and I will not stop until I’ve settled my score with you...ModBronze! Draw your sword!” Ken shook his head back and forth “Don’t be a fool! Your immortality was tied to your Master’s power! With him gone, you are no longer the Immortal!!! If this fortress goes, you’ll go with it!” Khan laughed maniacally. “Do you think I care about that? My life means nothing if I don’t prove that I am your superior!”. Tony scowls “Damn it, we don’t have time for this!” Ken still blocked their path. “Tony...take the others and go. I’ll handle Khan.” Tony shook his head. “But...”. Ken shook his head in response. “Tony, there’s no time to argue…just GO!” Hesitantly, Tony nodded. With his sword in hand, Ken assumed the Cyber Yamato defensive stance, and Khan took his own. The two swordsmen stood there for a moment, as the team ran past them. “Tony!” Ken said, passing Tony a set of keys. “The store’s your’s... take good care of her.” Tony gasped. “Hey! What happened to no-one gets left behind?!” Tony was about to head back in Ken’s direction when Hunter grabbed his arm. “Move your ass, Tony! The portal is closing!”. Tony struggled in Hunter’s grasp. “Let go of me Hunter!” Tony broke free, but Vincent grabbed hold of him as well, and the three leapt through the portal. The last thing Tony saw was Khan and Ken clashing swords as the fortress crumbled around them. They joined ModYellow and Cyan, who had both come out of the portal before them. “No! No! Ken!” Tony shouted, and he pushed Vincent and Hunter off of him, but the portal closed before he could run into it. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!” Tony shouted. Jesse began to cry while Yun held her comfortingly. Meanwhile, Tony began pounding his fists onto the floor shouting “DAMN IT...DAMN IT...DAMN IIIIIIIIIITTTT!!!!!!!!!” ---- Tony lets out a deep a sigh. “That’s what happened...the last time I saw Ken...ModBronze, he was fighting his eternal rival, Khan the Immortal, as the fortress crumbled around him. It was a one way trip...we all knew that going in.” Tony turns away from the group, and he takes in a deep breath, trying hard to hold back the tears. A sudden heaviness hangs over the group that is, until Nathan shouts, “KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!”. The group turns to glare at Nathan for a moment but instead, Jordan turns back to Tony and says, “So does that mean we’re stuck?” This causes Nathan to nearly fall out of his chair, anime style. “C-C’mon guys! Nothing? Not even a chuckle?!” Reggie quickly grabs Nathan in a headlock and whispers into his ear, “Dude, this is NOT a time to be acting like Nossan!” Tony takes in a deep breath. “There is one way out of this...but none of you are going to like it.”All eyes are once again placed on Tony. He stands up, and in his hand he carries his Master Caliber. He walks around his desk and stops in front of Jordan. He then holds it out to him. “Jordan...I’m making you the new ModMaster,” causing everyone in the room to let out a gasp. “Hey, what about us?!” Nathan shouts. “Yeah, what are we? Chopped liver!?” Tony shakes his head. “This is our only solution. From here on out, Will, James, and Jordan will carry on the fight...the rest of you are dismissed. Ai!” Ai stands up nervously and salutes Tony. “H-Hai!”. “I want you to remove the limiters on Will’s and James’ suit, and work on upgrading them. Immediately. Making them safe for prolonged use takes precedence over everything else, understood?” Tony asks. Ai frowns, but she nods. “H-hai...” Tony prepares to leave, but Matt stands in his way. “So, were all of our battles up till now for nothing?! You can’t just toss us aside like that!” Tony says nothing as Matt continues to glare angrily at him. Tony once again sighs. “I’m sorry, but there’s nothing we can do...I’ll make sure that your families are well protected...and that you’re all properly compensated. The Anons won’t touch you or your loved ones...you have my word” Tony bows, but then he walks past Matt. Matt then pounds his fist into the desk. “Damn it! So that’s it, huh? This is Bull!” Reggie closes his eyes and walks towards the door. “Where do you think you’re going?!” Matt shouts. “Out...we’re no longer needed any more, so technically we’re not suppose to be here...” Reggie waves his good hand, and Matt watches Reggie leave with his jaw hanging open. “How come you’re so calm?! Don’t tell me you’re okay with this!!! Heeeeey!” He shouts. ---- Outside, Reggie leans against the back of the wall, placing his foot up as support. He has his phone to his ear, and it begins ringing. “Hello?” A recording of Hunter’s voice begins playing: "Hey, it's Hunter! Yes, THE Hunter, the best bounty hunter this side of well... I'm the most badass bounty hunter anywhere.” Hunter’s voice suddenly deepens, and he says: “I’m the best at what I do... and what I do isn’t very nice.” He then clears his throat. “But what IS nice is that I’m always for hire, and completely awesome. My fee is just as awesome as I am. Which is a lot. I can’t come to the phone right now because I’m off on a badass super secret mission! But you can leave a message after the bang. By the way: this message will self destruct in 10 seconds! Kidding! But I will try to get back to you ASAP...which might not be soon enough!” Reggie scowls and rolls his eyes, as the voice mail continues to talk about how awesome and badass Hunter is. He hits end call. “Who does he think he is?” He tries another number. Arthur’s voice comes from the other line. “Arthur, hey! It’s Reggie.” Arthur’s voice seems to brighten up as he says: “Oooh! You must be one of Sir Tony’s new Knights... seeking advice from your elders, eh?” Reggie lets out a sigh. “No, actually...I wanted to talk to you about Ken...” Reggie hears a click on the other line, and Arthur’s end suddenly grows silent. “Hello...? Hello? Well nice to hear you too…sir Asshole of Jerkington...” He lets out a sigh, turning to a closed nightclub that is ahead of him. Reggie approaches the door, but outside he sees a bouncer on his smoke break. “Excuse me, I’d like to talk to Sky Yun-” The bouncer blows a puff of smoke. “Sorry kid, club’s closed. I’m not suppose to let anyone in.” Reggie shakes his head “That’s fine, can you just tell him to come outside? It’ll be five minutes!” The bouncer glares at Reggie. “Scram kid.” Reggie scowls. “Listen you muscle bound oaf, it’s important that I talk to Yun and-” Before Reggie can finish his sentence, the bouncer pushes Reggie into the street. Reggie scowls. He gets up and cleans himself off. He then notices a delivery being made, and the person who accepted does not close the door. The bouncer that threw Reggie returns from his smoke break. Reggie grins to himself. “Now’s my chance!” Reggie makes it inside the club without any difficulties, but it isn’t long before he is caught by two bouncers that tower over him. Reggie gulps. “Uh...I uh...got lost looking for the Bathroom?” Meanwhile, Yun is busy practicing his routine, but stops when he sees Reggie being picked up by a bouncer and dragged out, all the while shouting, “Let go of me you muscle bound ape!”. Yun lets out a sharp whistle, and the two bouncers look towards him. “Bring him here and put him down” The bouncer nods and does exactly that, dragging Reggie towards Yun and dropping him like a sack of potatoes in front of him. “T-thanks...I think...” Reggie says, rubbing his behind. Yun places his hand on his chin. “You’re one of Tony’s replacements...aren’t you? Hmmm.... come to see me dance, did you?” Reggie shakes his head. “Actually, I came to ask you a few questions.” Yun nods “You can ask them... BUT word on the street is you’re a pretty good dancer. Think you can out-dance me?” Yun grins, but Reggie sighs. “C’mon, Yun this is serious. I don’t have time to play around with you.” Yun laughs. “Ooooh, admitting defeat already, eh?”. Reggie scowls at Yun. “I never admit defeat! You’re ON!” Reggie removes his jacket, while Yun continues to grin. “Alright, beat this!” Yun begins his impressive breakdance routine, which ends with him pointing at Reggie. “Your turn!” Reggie cracks his neck but then rubs it. “ Ow! Piece of cake!” Reggie manages to out-dance Yun, much to his shock. Yun then claps. “Bravo, bravo!” Reggie takes a bow, and picks up his jacket, slinging it over his shoulder. “So... what was it you wanted to ask me about?” Reggie smiles. “It’s about Ken...” Suddenly, Yun’s mood sours as he glares at Reggie. The next thing he knows, Reggie finds himself being thrown out of the club, landing on a pile of garbage. Painfully, he gets up, dusting some garbage off of himself. “F-fine well, if that’s the way you want it... this will be one club I won’t ever set foot in again! Even if I don’t go clubbing anyway...still! You lost yourself a customer!” He grumbles to himself and angrily storms off. Next, Reggie finds himself at the police station on a busy afternoon. He finds Vincent’s office just as he’s clearing out his desk “Hey, you’re the purple guy! Great timing, I was just about to leave.” Reggie tilts his head “Leave? Back to the FBI?” Vincent nods. “Yeah, this location was only a temporary assignment. What’s up?” Vincent asks. “I was wondering if you could tell me about Ken?” Vincent’s mood suddenly turns sour as well, and he too glares at Reggie. “Get out of my office before I arrest you for... for being a nuisance!” Reggie is practically pushed out of Vincent’s office, and he grumbles “Geeze, what’s with these guys?!” Now, Reggie finds himself in front of a quiet looking suburban home. He rings the doorbell, and moments later a fairly young-looking woman opens the door a crack. “I’m sorry, but Jesse says she won’t be taking any more interviews. If you must see her about one, talk to my lawyer.” The woman is about to close the door when Reggie puts his foot in between it “That’s not why I want to see Jess at all well... it’s easier if I just show you” He holds out his mod pass in his hand. “Oh! You’re one of those new Rangers. Are you here seeking advice from Jess then? Just wait one moment.” The woman closes the door, but Reggie can hear her fiddling with the locks. “Come in, come in... Jess’s room is up the stairs.” Reggie nods. “Thanks, I won’t take long.” Reggie walks up the stairs, and knocks on the first door he sees. Moments later, Jesse opens the door, and inside Jesse’s room, Reggie can see that it indeed looks like a girl’s room. “So you’re really a girl then?” He asks scratching his head. “What do you want? If that’s the reason you came here, I swear I’ll kick your ass.” Reggie shakes his head. “Actually... I wanted to speak to you about Ken....” Jesse lets out a gasp, her face suddenly becoming emotional and she holds back tears. “G-get...get out! GET.OUT!” She picks up one of her stuffed animals and throws it at Reggie, causing him to back off and dodge out of the way. Jesse slams the door right in his face, but he can hear Jesse sobbing on the other side. Reggie walks down the stairs, and he can see Jesse’s mother waiting for him. “You asked about Ken, didn’t you?” She sighs. Reggie nods “Yeah... I can’t say I’m surprised... they all must’ve been really close.” Jesse’s mother nods. “Very... Ken and Jess especially. You see, Jess’s father left us when she was still very young. Ken came into her life almost a year after. Ken is Jess’s Godfather you see, and with his help, she learned to open her heart to people again....Ken was the closest thing Jess had to a real father...the poor thing doesn’t handle loss very well.” Reggie nods. “When Jess comes out...tell her I said I’m sorry for bringing it up...good day ma’am.” ----- Reggie finds himself in the outskirts of town,at the site where the original ModRangers first opened the portal into Cyberspace. “This must be the place...” Reggie takes a quick look around, but sees nothing that stands out to him. Reggie shakes his head. “Why am I even doing this?” He turns around to leave but suddenly lets out a gasp. His body begins to tremble, he feels dizzy and lightheaded and a sudden pain wafts through his body. He falls to his knees, his vision begins to get blurry and he has trouble speaking. Right in front of Reggie, a portal begins to open, and though his vision is darkening he lets out a gasp as he sees ModBronze and Khan. The two are clashing blades, but the duel finally ends in a draw, with both Ken’s and Khan’s swords striking each other’s vital points at the same time, with the two warriors falling and breaking into binary. Reggie lets out another gasp. However, the binary code reforms Khan and Ken and the two continue to clash, like a video on a loop, the scene playing exactly the same. “Quite the predicament, wouldn’t you say?” A familiar seductive voice rings through the valley. Reggie looks up the best he can and sees Ease standing over him, arms crossed and cocking a grin. “The residual energy released from your transformation devices... combined with the energy released when the Virusion fortress was destroyed... and the regeneration program that made Khan invincible in the first place, this all combined and resulted in the endless loop phenomenon that you are now witnessing. In their current state, they are like ghosts. They cannot hear us, nor can we touch them.” Reggie can feel the barrel of Ease’s gun tapping at the back of his head. She laughs seductively. “Ooooh, how easy it would be... but a certain pest dressed in white will interfere... that and you’re more valuable to me alive.” Reggie lets out a gasp as he turns to look at Ease the best he can in his current state. “‘How does she know about Harmony?’ Is what you’re trying to say I bet...” Ease chuckles. “Harmony and I were birthed from the same source code... that’s right... we’re what you humans call “Sisters”” Ease lets out another chuckle. “I can help you with your current problem...but it’s going to cost you dearly, boy....you see, opening a portal and reconfiguring Ken into the real world is merely child’s play... I’ll free Ken and in exchange, you work for me” Ease would once again let out another chuckle. “Do not give in to her!” A familiar voice echoes throughout the canyon and with a gasp, Reggie and Ease turn to the source. Harmony stands at the very top of a cliff, the bottom of her dress flowing along with the wind. “Harmony....!” Ease says in a dark, hate-filled voice. “As much as it pains me to admit…yes, Ease and I were both birthed from the same source code... but this means that she and I share the same abilities!" Harmony raises her open palm, pointing it towards the portal. Bits of bronze colored binary flow into her hand, and inside the portal Ken’s form disappears just as he and Khan are about to deal the finishing blow. Binary continues to collect into Harmony’s hand until a bronze colored ball of light is formed. Harmony kneels down and presses the ball up against the ground; she closes her eyes and the ball once again becomes binary code, but the code then forms into ModBronze. His form vanishes and Ken lays there, unconscious. Ease’s hate filled glare intensifies as she turns it towards Harmony. “You...this is the last time you’re going to interfere with me!!!” Seeing Ease charging towards her, Harmony quickly tosses Ken towards where Reggie is. Ease’s battle armor forms over her body, and with a single leap she dashes forward towards Harmony, who merely stands there, calm and relaxed as she normally is. With her rifle, Ease fires at Harmony, but she deflects the shots, and she leaps into the air before Ease has a chance to slam into her, her own body armor forming in the process. As soon as Harmony lands, her rapier begins to glow with white light. She spins around and slings the blade upward, and when she does, a white wave of light leaves the sword. It cuts through the ground as it travels towards Ease. She blocks the attack, but the impact causes her defense to break, allowing Harmony to shoulder tackle into her. Ease is sent flying, and she crashes into a canyon wall. She emerges from the rubble with barely a scratch on her. Harmony assumes a defensive stance, pointing her Rapier straight at Ease, but she merely laughs hysterically. “Playing rough doesn’t suit you, Harmony...but if you want to play rough...I’d be happy to oblige.” Underneath her armor, Ease grins. She raises her rifle and points it towards Reggie and Ken, but Harmony merely stands there, not showing any signs of making any sudden movements. The nozzle of Ease’s riffle begins to build up with energy, but before she has a chance to fire, she is hit by unknown laser fire. She staggers as the shots bounce off her armour. “Not so fast, Dracula!” James, Will, and Tony arrive on the scene, causing Ease to grind her teeth together. Tony glances towards Reggie and gasps. “That’s... Ken!” He rushes over towards Ken’s side in disbelieve. “I...I don’t believe it... he... he looks the same as he does six years ago. He hasn’t aged a bit.” Reggie lets out a groan .“I...had a hunch he was still alive...but I wasn’t totally positive if he was...H-Harmony...s-she helped free Ken.” Tony’s gaze turned towards Harmony. “You...did this?” Harmony simply nods, and Tony bows. “T-thank you...you have no idea...no idea what this means to me...to a lot of us.” Tony’s voice is emotional as he speaks. Ken lets out a groan. Ken slowly regains consciousness, and the first thing he sees is Tony and Reggie staring back at him. His vision is blurry at first, but he slowly comes to. “...Tony? Is that you? Man what happened? You’re...old...” Tony gives Ken a swift punch in the arm as he says those words. Harmony giggles and points her Rapier at Ease’s neck. “Give up, Ease! And Return from whence you came!” Ease laughs. “Touching...it’s so sweet I almost want to barf. I’m sure there’s someone else who’s eager to get reunited with you...” Slowly, Ease’s open hand raises towards the portal, and bits of binary begin to collect in her hand at a much faster rate than Harmony was able to collect Ken’s. Khan now stands before them, kneeling. He rises to his feet and turns his gaze towards Ken, raising his sword towards him. “ModBronze! Today we decide which one of us is superior....” He gets into a battle stance “Prepare yourself!”. Ken slowly stands to his feet, and he wobbles slightly “Khan!” He cries. “Ken, you’re barely in any shape to stand, let alone fight!” Ken grins at Tony’s comment. “When has that ever stopped me before, Tony? Besides...you and I know that I’m the only one here strong enough to take on Khan...” Tony remains silent, and he hesitantly nods. “Just be careful, we just got you back and I don’t want to loose you again.” Ken smiles. “Careful is my middle name, Tony.” Tony laughs. “I thought it was Randal... Will, James, back him up!” Will and James nod, James doing a two finger salute. “You can count on us, Boss!” Tony passes Ken’s sword to him; Ken takes the blade and shouts: “Mod Access!! LOG IN!” Ken takes his ModPass and inserts it into his ModKatana, and the blade responds with: “BRONZE, LOGGING IN...DOWNLOADING” Bronze’s ModSuit would appear around him. Will and James inserts their Staff Passes and yells out: "USER ACCESS, LOG IN!" Their belts responds with: USER KIRYU, LOGING IN…WELCOME. USER CONUNDRUM, LOGGING IN…WECOME...ModBronze gets into a defensive stance, shouting, “ModBronze!”. Ease laughs. “Three on one is hardly fair...let us level the playing field.” With a snap of her fingers, a group of Spammerbots and Trollers appears behind them, causing Will and James to laugh. “Ha! You call that leveling the playing field!?” Ease chuckles. “They’re more than enough for you buffoons” This causes Will and James to to fall down, anime style. “As for you, Harmony... we’ll settle this another time.” Ease vanishes, returning back to the Cyberworld. “Wait!” She cries but Ease vanishes before anyone can blink. “Damnit! You won’t get away from me!” Harmony too vanishes. James and Will turn their attention to the legion that stands in front of them. “James and I will take care of the small fry, you just worry about the ugly guy!” Ken nods. “I’m counting on you!” The trio charges ahead, Khan doing the same, with the legion of grunt soldiers following behind him. Ken begins to cut down Spammerbots as he makes his way towards Khan, and the two began to clash swords. Ken parries Khan’s sword, which causes him to stagger, leaving him open for Ken to slash him across the chest, creating a fatal-looking gash across his armor. Khan laughs, as the gash quickly closes up and his armor looks like new. Ken lets out a gasp. “You’re regenerative program! I see... that woman in black must’ve reactivated it! In that case... I’ll just have to go for your weak point!” Khan laughs. “Just try!” Two trollers appear behind Ken, who lets out a gasp and prepares to defend while Khan attacks from behind. Before Khan’s attack can hit, he is pelted by a barrage of laser fire as a flaming whip incinerates the two Trollers. “I told you: let us worry about the small-fry!” Will says. Ken sees Will and James fighting an overwhelmingly large group of foot soldiers causing him to gasp. “Guys!” “Keep your eyes on me, Bronze!” Khan shouts, bringing his sword down but Ken is able to block it. Khan keeps pressing down harder and harder while Ken struggles to keep the sword up, while Khan laughs maniacally. With a fierce battle cry, Ken stands up and pushes Khan’s blade upward, parrying him at the same time. Once again open, Ken’s blade begins flashing a bright emerald green; he slashes upward, unleashing a green energy as he does. Khan is hit by this blast; he lets out a cry of pain and staggers back. The wolf emblem on his chest falls to the ground in two smoldering pieces. “Guys! This is our only chance, let’s hit him with everything we got!” Ken shouts. Will and James nod. “Gotcha!” The two of them leap into the air, using a Spammerbot as a stepping stone. Will is the first to attack, using his chain whip to strike Khan, while James rushes forward, dealing Khan a double kick. He lands on his feet and begins to pelt Khan with laser fire again. Khan lets out a growl; he raises his sword and attempts to strike James down, but he leaps out of the way and kicks his blade down so it becomes stuck in the ground. “What?!” Khan shouts, struggling to get his blade out of the ground, but he looks up with a gasp. Will, James, and Ken stand there, their signature weapons charging with energy. The three of them lets out a fierce battle cry as they launch their attacks forward, each of the attacks coming together in a large ball of energy which strikes through Khan. Khan is knocked off his feet by this blow, and he lets out a groan. “Curse you... ModBronze! Curse you! This won’t be the last you’ll hear from me! Don’t think you’ve won!!!!” Khan falls backwards and explodes, causing Will and James to high five one another. “Oh yeah, we rule, we rule!” James says. “Don’t celebrate just yet.” The remains of Khan’s body suddenly begin to glow. Khan bellows out a roar as he suddenly becomes a ten story tall giant. “Awe man!” Will shouts. “Figures, monsters growing big after getting beaten once is ALWAYS is a staple in these Sentai shows! Hey Tony, please tell us we get our own giant mecha.” Tony nods “You have your own mecha...Ai! Deploy the Newsievan and Photobomber!” Back at HQ, Ai nods at the request. “Yokai! Launching NewsieVan and PhotoBomber!” She pulls on a lever and deep inside the hanger, the lights of an enormous van comes on, and meanwhile, a stealth bomber-like fighter craft’s engines began roaring. Both vehicles take off into a portal that opens into the canyon, causing Will and James to both let out a gasp. “I trust you’ve logged enough time on the simulators?” Will and James nod. “Alright, well... have at it then.” Both Will and James leap into the air, entering their respective vehicles cockpits. “Wow... this is too cool! It’s like I’m in a mecha anime or something! Whoa!” Will turns the steering wheel a hard right just as Khan’s massive blade comes down towards him. James counters by firing a barrage of missiles at Khan. “Pay attention, doofus!!” James cries. “Oh um...r-right!” Will and James both press a switch; the PhotoBomber and Newsievan turn into humanoid shapes, each one resembling something out of Transformers. Khan lets out a roar as he charges towards the two; he brings his blade down towards Will and James’s mechas, but Will blocks the attack and quickly punches Khan in the gut. Stunned, James uses this opportunity to attack him with a laser cannon, but Khan manages to block. “You’re getting on my nerves!” Khan’s voice bellows out, and with one sword slash, he manages to knock both mechs off their feet. “Damnit, we’re getting nowhere like this!” Will shouts. Tony’s face appears on a monitor. “What are you two doing?! You’ll need Forum Assaulter to fight him!” Will nods. “O-Oh um right...!” Will and James then both shout: “Combine! Forum Assaulter!” and the two leap into the air. The Photo Bomber separates, panels compressing and folding away, becoming armour parts for Will’s mecha. They combine together, with cockpit of the PhotoBomber on the front, and a massive wing pack on the back. “Combine, Forum Assaulter!” Will looks around the cockpit and tilts his head. ‘Huh...not a whole lot changed...alright James, let’s kick his ass!” A pair of jet thrusters ignite and launches the mecha up into the air. “Don’t think I can’t reach you up there!” Khan shouts, swinging his blade forward, unleashing a wave of energy. Will and James dodge out of the way. A pair of mini gatling guns pop up from the Forum Assaulter’s wrists and begin firing at Khan. Khan blocks the attack, but is then hit by more missile fire. The Wings from the back of Forum Assaulter detach and become an enormous sword. Forum Assaulter plummets to the ground, and with a robotic battle cry, strikes Khan. This strike causes Khan’s sword break. “What?!” He screams out in response. “Now’s our chance!” Forum Assaulter’s eyes glow, thrusters propel the armored mech forward as the blade becomes engulfed in energy forming a drill-like shape. “Submission Thrust!” Will and James both shout as the blade strikes right through Khan, leaving a hole in his armour. Khan staggers as sparks fly from his armor. “This is...inconceivable! I am...The Immortal! I cannot die...I will not diiiiiie!!!!!!!!!” Khan falls over, becoming engulfed by a ten-story tall fire ball. Seeing this, Ken lets out a sigh. “It’s...finally over...” He turns around and begins to leave. “Ken...? Where are you going?” Tony asks. “I just need to be alone...so I can collect my thoughts...” Tony nods and watches as Ken walked off. ---- Following the battle, Ken approaches a tombstone, his own, and he kneels down, seeing that a bouquet of fresh flowers has been left for him. “It’s strange, looking at your own grave... isn’t it?” Ken remains silent. “...How long was I gone?” Tony lets out a sigh. “Six years, I’m afraid.” He crosses his arms. “Six years....” Ken repeats to himself. For a while, the two say nothing before Ken chuckles. “It’s strange... being trapped inside the cyber world all this time... it felt like I was in never ending dream. And yet...” Ken’s voice becomes emotional, and he takes in a deep breath. “So much about this world has changed. My old neighborhood is gone, my apartment...gone...even my folks are gone.” Tony nods. “They moved out of the state to distance themselves away from this place... but I’ve informed them that you’re okay. They’re on a plane as we speak, coming to see you.” Tony places a comforting hand on his shoulder, and Ken nods. “Thank you...I owe you for that.” Ken smiles and once again the two saiy nothing.“So what are your plans now?” Tony asks. Ken shakes his head. “I don’t know... there’s six years worth of anime, games, movies and news I’d like to get caught up on.” Tony nods. “Before that...I’m sure there’s someone else who’d like to know you’re okay...c’mon.” Tony is about to leave but Ken laughs. “Six years is a long time, and I sure hope you’re a lot better with a sword then you used to be.” Tony stops in his tracks and turns towards Ken. “Is now the proper time for it?” Ken grins “It is... not unless you’re chicken.” Tony laughs. “I’m man enough to take you on... old timer.” Ken nods. The two of them move away from the cemetery, stopping in a more open area. Each one is armed with their own signature blade. They let out a fierce battle cry as they clash swords. “I’m home!” Jesse comes into her house, removing her shoes and backpack in the process, but the home is dark and she is not met with a response. “Mom?” Jesse cries, worry and paranoia beginning to set in. She enters the dark living room and turns on the light. When she looks at the sofa, she lets out a gasp. Sitting on the sofa is Ken; he turns to a shocked Jesse and smiles .”Welcome home, Jess.” Jesse’s eyes begin to swell up, tears flowing and she runs at full speed, tackling Ken and knocking him and the sofa over in the process. “Whoa!” Ken shouts and laughs. “Don’t you ever.... EVER put me through that again you big jerk!” Jesse shouts. Ken smiles. “It’s good to see you too, Jess.” Ken gives Jesse a big hug, and outside, Tony, Will, and James watch, with a smile on their faces, as the two are reunited.

(This is chosen as the Opening Theme, listen if you want to )
Access 20: Hyper! The Violet Hero’s Rampage! Today was the day- with the healing pod’s fully repaired, the ModRangers were placed within them. Fully recovered, Reggie, Nathan and Kyle waited for their casts to be taken off. “Glad to see you guys alright.” “Hey Tony, I’m all set to get this thing off!” said an enthusiastic Reggie. “Okay, now just stay still.” Tony walked around the corner and pulled out a large laser. “We’ll be using this to remove the cast.” “A laser?!...Well, I’m glad you’re the one who will operate it, Tony.” “Actually, Ai will be working it.” Reggie’s face turned into a goofy smile before he realized what Tony just said. “WAIT, AI IS GONNA OPERATE IT?!” “What? I thought you liked her.” “I do, but I also like living!” Tony punched Reggie’s good arm. “Oh stop being such a big baby, Reggie…I use the laser to shave every morning.” Reggie placed his hand on Tony’s shoulder. “Tony, see, it's my dream to get a well paying job, and get married to the girl I love. I don't think that'll happen if the girl I love kills me at my unpaid job!” “Is Reggie-kun ready?” asked Ai from the hall. “Yes Ai, come on in!” Reggie noticed as Ai came in- even in her CPU uniform, she was the brightest thing in the room. He thought about their previous dates; the first date in the mall, the movies they’d seen, the restaurants they had eaten at. He remembered how every one of those dates, he’d always tell her how beautiful she was. Her laugh, her eyes, her hair, her smile, her voice... “Reggie-kun...Reggie-kun...Reggie-kun!!!” “What is it Ai?” Reggie asked in a half-daze. “I’m sorry, I missed with the laser!” “Oh you did?” Reggie asked with a goofy smile on his face. “Hey, what’s cooking right now?” “YOU ARE!!!” Reggie looked at his shoulder and noticed it was on fire. “Oh crap!” “Drop and roll, Reggie-kun!!!” “Enough of this,” said Tony. As Reggie frantically rolled on the ground, Tony took the jug from the water cooler and poured it all over him. “Okay, Ai, maybe let me handle removing Reggie’s cast. You just, you know, stand by him.” Ai walked over to Reggie and looked at him before quickly looking away. “What’s wrong Ai?” ”Nothing, nothing at all!” Reggie looked around and saw that her face was bright red. “Hey Ai, after this, can we talk?” Ai got up immediately. “I’m sorry, I have other duties to attend to, but how about after I finish with them?” “Sure, no prob.” Reggie watched as Ai ran away, and as his cast fell off, Nathan and Kyle came in. “So finally free from your cocoon, Kyle?” “Haha, very funny.” “If it makes you feel any better, you are not a beautiful butterfly.” “Thanks Nathan.” “You’re welcome Kyle, cause you still look like a caterpilla- OW!” Kyle nonchalantly whistled as he turned away from the others. “So Reg, saw you back there with Ai! How’s the girlfriend doing anyway?” “Guys, she still isn’t my girlfriend.” “Yeah, yeah, we heard that all before!” Reggie looked at both of them with a straight face. “I’m serious.” Nathan smacked Reggie quickly on the back of the head. “You dumbass! How are you not her boyfriend yet?!” “Well, I’ve never had the best experience with girls, so I thought...” “What? You’d take your time?” “That’s just stupid, bro.” Nathan picked Reggie up by his shirt collar and threw him. “Ask her now, or I’ll kick your ass!” Nathan sat down, as he watched Reggie run through the hall. “Think I was too harsh on the kid?” “Nah, you’re just being the uncle we all need.” “You mean big brother.” “You heard what I said.” Reggie ran up until he was in the command center. There, Will and James stood in his path. “Congrats on getting your cast off Reggie!” “Yeah! You know, since we were being the heroes while you were out, I think you owe us,” said Will, winking. “Yeah, we faced the Anon Army by ourselves, encountered the Original ModRangers, repaired the ModBelts and even helped create the-” “Guys, I don’t have time for this, I need to talk to Ai.” “She just went to the cafeteria.” “Thanks, gotta go!” “NOW HOLD UP!” Reggie felt Will and James tugging on his arm. “Guys, let go!” “You owe us buddy!” “Hero-ing isn’t free!” Suddenly, the two noticed a shadow above them; it was revealed to be Nathan, who body slammed them into the ground. Kyle ran in and handcuffed both Will and James. “Go Reg, we got it from here!” “Thanks Kyle, thanks Nathan! Wish me luck!” “Get off us Nossan!!!” “Meh, I don’t really feel like it.” Running into the cafeteria, Reggie saw Ai in line, waiting to get her jello. Picking up the dish, Ai dropped it only for Reggie to dive and catch it. “Reggie-kun?” “Ai, I need you to listen to me!” Suddenly, the entire cafeteria was silent until a loud growling was heard. “Um...Reggie-kun...can I eat first?” “Uh, yeah, sure.” After thirty minutes of watching her chew very slowly, Reggie couldn’t take it any longer. “Ai, please, hear me out!” “Reggie-kun?” “Look Ai, we’ve gone out on many dates already...and I was gonna ask you this before the Onorengers attacked...but Ai...” Reggie looked up and saw that all the CPU employees and his fellow ModRangers were looking at him. “Reggie-kun, what are you trying to say?” “Ai...you’re the best thing that ever happened to me. You make my heart beat every time I see you. When I hear your laugh, I can’t help but laugh with you. When I hear you cry, I can’t help but comfort you. But just being a random guy you date isn’t enough for me.” Reggie grasped Ai’s hands as she looked at him. “Reggie-kun, I...I...I’ve always been nervous to say this, but...I feel the same way.” “Then, Ai Kurosawa...will you be my girlfrien-” Reggie words were interrupted as Ai pulled his face towards hers and kissed him on the lips. Reggie could feel sparks igniting; it was the best feeling he ever had. Letting go of him, Ai stared into his eyes. “I will be your girlfriend,” she said with a smile. Reggie looked at her and kissed her back, lifting her into the air. The CPU faculty and the team clapped their hands as Reggie set Ai down. “By the way, Reggie-kun...That was my first kiss, so...Take responsibility, okay?” Ai asked, holding her hand out. Taking her hand, Reggie looked at her and smiled. “Of course I will, Ai.” “Okay, now that that whole thing is resolved, can Reggie, Kyle, Matt, Nathan and Jordan please report to my office,” said Tony over the intercom. “Wonder what that could be about.” “Go on then, Reggie-kun,” said Ai, smiling. “I’ll be back,” said Reggie, kissing Ai on the lips as he headed out with the other guys. As they made their way to the office, the guys crowded around Reggie. “Finally, we thought that was gonna take forever,” said Jordan. “I thought it was never gonna happen.” “I had bets on November.” “Alright, $20 for me!” “Will you guys stop betting on my love life?!” As they entered Tony’s office, they were greeted to the sight of something familiar to them. “Dude, our ModBelts! They’re all fixed!” “That’s right,” said Tony, sitting at his desk with Will and James standing beside him. “As of today, you are all able to take your places back as protectors of this city. Will, James, I regret to...Actually, I don’t really regret it, you two are back to working in place of Max and Ryan.” “AW MAN!!!” “Well, it was good while it lasted.” Will and James placed their UserBelts and StaffPasses on Tony’s desk. “There is something else I would like you all to see, come with me.” Following Tony into a lab, the group looked on at a pod; within it, levitated five odd looking boxes. “With the threat of the Onorengers, we know that your powers are not enough. Taking the past experiences of the Original ModRanger team, we have created...the USBs.” “USBs?” “It stands for Upgrade System Bypass. While the ModBelts give you all power, the USBs will unleash your full potential.” Reggie walked over and placed his hands on the glass of the pods. “They don’t look all that impressive.” “They haven’t been activated yet. We have yet to discover what allows them to activate, so until then, please hang on to them.” Tony reached into the pod and one by one, handed the ModRangers a USB. “So Tony, where are the Original ModRangers?” “Several of them have returned to fighting against the Anon Army around the world, while some of them decided to continue living their ordinary lives.” “Well, that’s all fine and dandy. If you guys don’t mind, I’m gonna go get some food outside. CPU meals taste too bland.” “Wait Matt, I’ll go with you!” ___ Meanwhile in Cyberspace, Hax was busy at work. “Is it finished yet?” “For the last time Ease, what you asked me to build will take too long to make!!!” “Geez, just asking!” Ease sat back in a chair, putting her feet up on Hax’s work station. “Get your feet off of my stuff!!!” “As I recall, you still owe me, Hax. So please, be a good little girl and listen to me.” Hax scowled at her before bowing her head. “Yes, ma’am.” “Now, open up a portal into the real world for me, I wanna go have some chaotic fun.” “But...um...can’t you just teleport yourself?” “What did I just say?” “Yes ma’am...” As Ease left, Hax looked at what she was working on. Dropping it on the floor and stepping on it, Hax, chuckled. “Whoops! Looks like I have to start all over again!” ___ Matt and Kyle decided to eat at In-N-Out, a local burger place that had some of the best burgers in California. “Thanks for letting me come with you to have lunch, Matt.” “It’s no prob, Kyle. You’re paying for everything, after all.” “Yea- wait what?” Kyle watched as Matt pulled a wallet out of his coat pocket. “HEY! THAT’S MINE!” “And it also helped us get these burgers. You should try the Animal Style Fries.” Sighing, Kyle took a fry and ate it. “So, what did you think about that little event that happened earlier?” “What event?...Oh, you mean the little love fest between the clumsy, short Japanese girl and our teams biggest...” Matt looked at Kyle, who was drawing Luka with ketchup on his burger. “Scratch that, second biggest dork. It was blegh.” “But, didn’t you like Ai before?” asked Kyle, chewing a piece of his burger. “Nah dude, I just did that to mess with Reggie. To be honest, I’m kinda happy for the two of them. Now, if you excuse me, I gotta enjoy this Animal Style double burger.” Right as he was about to bite down, the side of the building was blown open. “Is my burger okay?!” “Really Kyle, that’s what you’re worried about?!” “I thought I sensed you two here. Now, where’s the Boy?” Matt, bit into his burger and got up. “Sorry Ease, but he’s with his little girlfriend right now. But I’m all ready to play with you! Kyle!” “Reighitsa!” “Dude, chew your food.” Pulling out their ModPasses, the two stood side by side. “MOD ACCESS, LOG IN!” “GREEN, ACCESS GRANTED, DOWNLOADING...” “BLACK, ACCESS GRANTED, DOWNLOADING...” Matt was shrouded in green light, as he held up his hand. The ModGigaDrill formed, and spun around, swirling bits of green data around him until his helmet formed, his scarves flowing behind him. Kyle was covered in shadow as an image of Megurine Luka hugged him. Holding his hand out, the ModPistol formed as he fired forward, clearing the shadow and revealing his ranger form. “Aw, you put your suits back on just for me? I’m flattered.” Charging at Ease with their weapons in hand, Matt struck first, hitting Ease’s gun. “So, the Boy got himself a girlfriend, huh?” “Yeah. Jealous?” “Eh, as long as I have someone interesting to play with, I don’t mind!” Ease kicked Matt in the stomach and smacked him. Increasing her speed, she managed to hit Matt on all sides, throwing him onto his back.“Hey Kyle, I could use some back up here!” “Sorry dude, since I was in that cast for so long, my body can’t move as fast.” “Oh, you’ve gotta be kidding me!” Ease took aim at Matt and opened fire. “Any time now, Kyle!” “Zzzzz...” “DID YOU JUST FALL ASLEEP?!” Jumping over the counter, Matt grabbed Kyle and smacked him repeatedly. “Wake up, moron!” “Is that really the best you two can do?” Matt looked up to see Max and Ryan, armed and ready for battle. “Let us handle this.” Ryan was the first to attack, using a form of martial arts to disarm Ease. As she was left empty handed, she was wide open to an attack from Max’s ModSpear. Stabbing right through her, Max flung her into the air as Ryan opened fire. Falling down, Ease teleported back into Cyberspace before she could be finished off. “Retreating already, huh? Coward.” Transforming back into their human forms, Max and Ryan walked up to Matt and Kyle. Max took one quick look at Kyle, picked him up, and smacked him in the face. “OW!!! THAT HURTS!!!” “Suck it up. Look, you two are part of a team that supposed to defend this city.” “How are we expected to leave it in your care, if you can’t even take care of yourselves!” “Ryan, Max, if you feel that way, why don’t you come back to CPU?” They both turned their backs on Matt and Kyle. “We can’t.” “Not yet.” Suddenly, a dimensional portal consisting of gold and silver numbers opened up, and the two of them stepped through it. “Uh, what just happened?” “Teleporting tech. Huh, didn’t know we had that.” “You don’t, now please report back to CPU HQ,” said Tony over the intercom. “Yes sir.” ___ “And where do you think you’re going?” “Oh come on, the ModRangers are back online, I can feel it!” “So what are you suggesting? You’re gonna go out there without the boss’s consent?” “I wanna fight him! I know he’s out there! I sense his potential! I wanna crush him! But not his body at first...I wanna crush his spirit!” The group turned as they were approached from behind. “Are you sure you want to go out and fight, Victor?” “Of course! I didn’t get a chance to finish him off last time, so I wanna do it now!” Smirking, the leader sat down and gestured him to the door. “Then go on, wreak a little havoc too, will you?” Bowing, the man took out a crude looking version of a ModPass. “Viral Access.” Inserting it into a cybernetic belt, it announced “VIOLET. FIREWALL DOWN.” A violet energy dragon, tiger and rhinoceros surrounded Victor, before they bit down on him, combining to form his armor and sidearms. In his armored form, Victor began to leave.“I’ll be sure to leave ModRed in tact for you, Jered.” “As long as you bring Violet’s head back here, that’s fine by me.” ___ “So why did you call us back here, Tony?” “I figured that I should teach you more about the USBs, and how they function.” Walking over to a platform, Tony swept his Master ModPass into a slot. The platform opened up, and from it, a holographic blueprint of the USBs were shown. “As you can see, the tech within the USB is at an incredibly high level. It far exceeds the level of tech in your ModBelts. After closer examination, it seems that since we based it all on the past experiences of the Original ModRangers, the USBs seem to react to strong positive emotions. However, what they also require is a level of synchronization to the ModBelts. Reggie, would you mind trying it out?” “Uh sure, Tony.” Putting on his ModBelt, Reggie held up his ModPass. “Mod Access, Log in!” “VIOLET, ACCESS GRANTED, DOWNLOADING...” “Now what do I do?” “Plug the USB into the side of your belt. Feel a strong positive emotion.” “Positive emotion...positive emotion...” Reggie began to close his eyes as he raised the USB to plug it in. “Reggie-kun!” Reggie opened his eyes and saw Ai waving at him from the balcony. “Ai!” said Reggie in excitement, his eyes turning into hearts as he inserted the USB. Suddenly, a large explosion happened right where Reggie was standing. “Reggie!!!” screamed Ai as she ran down. The dust from the explosion cleared and everybody’s jaws dropped. Where Reggie was standing, was ModViolet, but with heart shaped shoulder pads, a pink visor, and instead of his chest symbol, was a pink heart that had the kanji for “love” in the center. “Ai is my love, I am her hero! ModViolet, Ai-Love Form!” “Dude, you changed your roll call phrase? Man, I hope that doesn’t throw us off!” “I Love Form?” “No, I think he means the Japanese word for love, which is Ai, so it’s ‘Love Love Form.’” “You’re both wrong! It’s a form based on my love for Ai! This is what you meant, right Tony? Love is a positive emotion.” Tony walked up to Reggie and placed his hands on his shoulders. “...NOT AT ALL YOU IDIOT!!!” yelled Tony, head-butting Reggie while yanking out the USB. “Ugh...We’ll try again later. Just...just go home.” “Ow...fine Tony, fine. Promise we can continue tomorrow?” “...Fine, we will. Nathan, you’ll be after him, okay?” “Aw man...I mean, great, sure, I’ll be willing to learn from you, Tony.” Reggie transformed back into his human form and ran up to Ai, taking her hand. Pulling herself closer to Reggie, Ai leapt up and kissed him on the cheek. “So, what shall we do now...boyfriend?” Ai said blushing. “Well...girlfriend...” Reggie blushed as well. “I was gonna head back to my apartment now, gotta still straighten some things up. I’ll see you later, okay?” Reggie leaned down and kissed Ai. As soon as he turned away, he felt a tug on his sleeve. “W...why don’t...I spend the night?” “Uh..wha?!” “I can help out...I mean, if that’s okay...” “I...It’s okay, Ai.” Taking her hand again, Reggie and Ai walked out of CPU to his apartment. “Our little guy is growing up,” said Nathan to the guys. “It’s good to see him happy, isn’t it, Matt?” “Why are you asking me that?” Matt turned to Kyle and saw that he had the goofiest smile on his face. “YOU TOLD THEM?!” “What? I couldn’t help it!” “I’ll get you for that!!!” Matt yelled, beginning to chase Kyle around CPU. “I wish he wasn’t the only one growing up,” said Tony, looking down and sighing. ___ As they unpacked more of Reggie’s boxes, they engaged in more conversations about their childhoods, their high school days, and their experiences before the entered CPU. As the hours flew by, the two of them noticed that it was 9PM. Reggie heard Ai’s stomach growl and started to cook. As she looked through his yearbooks, Ai smiled and imagined to herself. Hearing Reggie call for her, the two ate dinner, and sat together on Reggie’s couch. Yawning, Ai turned to Reggie. “It’s getting really late.” “Yeah, it is.” “Um...shall we...go to bed now?” “Uh...yeah,” Reggie said blushing. “Do you need to borrow some pajamas?” “I’m sure they’ll be too big for me.” “Oh...right...” “...Why don’t we just go to bed...okay?” Reggie picked Ai up, carrying her like a princess. “Reggie! What are you-” “You’re tired, right? The least I can do is carry you.” As they stopped in Reggie’s room, Reggie began to lay out a futon. “What are you doing?” Ai asked, wrapped in a blanket. “I’ll sleep down here, and you can sleep in the bed.” “NO!...I mean...you can come up here.” Reggie turned bright red. “Are...are you sure?” “Yes, come here,” said Ai smiling. As he crawled into bed next to her, Reggie took of his glasses, put his arms around her and gave her a kiss. “I love you, Ai.” Ai took off her glasses and kissed Reggie back. “I love you too.” Pulling each other closer, both of them kissed more as Reggie hit the light switch. “Good night, Ai.” “Good night, Reggie...” ___ The next morning at CPU, the guys all gathered around in the training room with Tony. “Wonder how he’s doing.” “Eh, he’s fine Matt, he probably just overslept.” “Hey, have you guys noticed how Ai isn’t in yet either?” “You don’t think...” “Look, if Reggie doesn’t show up, you’re gonna train with me next, okay Nathan?” “Got it sir!” said Nathan saluting before he turned around. “Please let him come in...please let him come in...please let him come in...” After ten minutes, Tony and Nathan transformed and faced each other. “Ready?” “Uh...” “Sorry we’re late!!!” The group turned to see Reggie and Ai run in, hand in hand. “I forgot... to set... my alarm,” Reggie said panting. “Ai Kurosawa, reporting for duty!” Ai said, standing at attention and saluting. “Hey, isn’t that the shirt Reggie wore yesterday?” Ai looked down and blushed bright red. “I’m sorry, I forgot to change...EXCUSE ME!!!” Ai exclaimed, running away as fast as she could to the CPU locker rooms. Nathan transformed back and wrapped his arm around Reggie’s neck. “You dog.” “What did I do?!” “You really want me to say it?” “...I’ll go train with Tony.” “I’m back!” Ai shouted as she walked in. “Wait a second...Ai...what did you and Reggie do last night?” “Oh, we just unpacked boxes, ate dinner and talked...” “Then why were you wearing his shi-” Kyle stopped asking questions as soon as he saw a stray laser blast go past his head. “Sorry, pulled the trigger on accident.” “I’m...just gonna walk over there!” Reggie transformed and drew his ModSpinSabre. “Remember, you are only going to fight me using your blade. I need to test your physical strength.” “Got it,” Reggie said before he charged forward. “Mistake number one! Don’t charge in recklessly!” Tony said, kicking Reggie aside before he leapt into the air. Reggie rolled to the side and brought his blade up. “Mistake number two! Don’t hesitate to fight back!” Tony brought his blade down hard, nearly forcing Reggie’s out of his hands. As Reggie struggled to push Tony off, he sprout his wings and took flight. “Good! Don’t hold back!” Flying down, Reggie slashed twice at Tony’s blade. “What the?!” “He’s actually able to match with Tony?!” “That’s what he thinks!” Tony said, inserting his Master ModPass into his blade. Transforming, Tony swung his blade upward, knocking Reggie into the ceiling. “GAH!” Falling downward, Reggie found himself in front of Tony, who put his sword down. Holding his hand up, Tony flicked Reggie’s forehead. To everyone's shock, the simple flick sent Reggie flying through the wall, until he was at least 5 rooms away from the training room. “Hm...maybe he can make this interesting after all.” Ai looked through the hole to see Reggie, wings spread, holding himself in the air. “You said don’t hold back, right Tony?!” “Yeah. Come at me!” Tony said raising his arms. Just as he was about to put his arms down, Reggie was suddenly in front of him, ready to slash. As the blade came towards him, Tony grabbed it, flipped Reggie and pinned him to the floor. “You still have a long way to go. While you do have a decent amount of offensive power, you’re mainly focused on speed. You need more training. Alright, we’ll take a break. Nathan, we’ll train after 10 minutes. Dismissed!” Reggie transformed back as Ai ran towards him, checking him for injuries. She touched his face looked into his eyes and was about to kiss him...when Nathan suddenly appeared behind the two of them. “...So...” “So, what?” “Come on...” “Come on, what?!” “How was it?” “How was what...?” "The bowchika hupsie!" Reggie and Ai turned bright red as Ai fainted into Reggie’s arms. "...Why are we friends?!" “What? Just curious, that’s all.” As Reggie fanned Ai to see if she would wake up, Nathan reached into his pocket and handed Reggie some money. “What’s this for?” “It’s $20, go buy ‘Tenchi Muyo the Movie: Tenchi Muyo in Love’ and...you know...” “I know what?!” “You don’t wanna become a dad at your age, do you?” asked Nathan as soon as Ai regained consciousness. Reggie and Nathan both looked at Ai just as she fainted again, with Reggie turning bright red. “Dude, just shut up!” Picking Ai up, Reggie ran out the training room while Nathan was rolling on the floor laughing. “Nathan...it’s not nice to tease people,” said Tony, pointing his blade at Nathan’s back. “Now I definitely won’t hold back in your training.” “I’m sorry!!!” “Ai? Can you hear me, baby?” Ai opened her eyes to see Reggie looking down at her. “Wh...Where are we?” “We’re at your desk baby. Sorry for what Nathan...said....” “No, it’s...fine...” said Ai, still blushing. “Just don’t tell him anything, okay!” “Got it!...but...why did you put my shirt on?” “...I...couldn’t see so I thought I grabbed mine...” “Silly girl,” Reggie said, kissing her. “You gonna be fine here? I gotta go check and see if they need anything.” “I’ll be fine! And if you have to go on a mission...be safe, okay?” “I promise.” Giving her a hug and kiss, Reggie left Ai at her desk as he ran to the training room. When he got to the door, Kyle and Matt were there. “So, Reg, she give you the ‘be safe on your mission’ speech yet?” “Yeah...why do you ask?” “Look, I’m gonna give you some advice. Look, I received the same speech from Luna years ago...and...treasure this girl, alright? Protect her. I know I teased you two earlier, but I just want you two to be happy.” “Wow...thanks Kyle...I do have one question though.” “What is it, buddy?” “Why is Matt here?” The two of them turned to Matt, who just stared. “What? First I came here to see Nathan get his ass handed to him by Tony, and then I wanted to see if you guys were gonna fight because of what happened earlier.” “Seriously?” “Yeah, what? I can’t entertain myself?” As soon as Matt finished talking, the alarm went off. “ModRangers, report to the command center, now!” As soon as they arrived, the guys looked on the monitor. “An Onorenger?!” “OnoreViolet!” “Why did they decide to come out now?!” “That bastard...” As soon as she walked in Ai looked at Reggie, who was clenching his fist. “Reggie, careful, you just got the cast off that arm.” “Right baby, my bad.” “You all know what you have to do. Just in case, take your USBs.” “Sir, yes sir!” As they grabbed their USBs off the table, Tony got up out of his seat. “Reggie!” “What is it Tony?” “At your current state, it’s highly unlikely that your USB will activate.” “What?! But Tony, you said positive emotions are what can activate them!” “And he has enough of those!” said Ai, kissing Reggie. “Come back safe, okay?” “I will baby, I promise.” “Very well. Reggie, just in case it doesn’t activate, just fight at your full strength, got it?” “Yes sir!” Reggie shouted, rushing out the door. ___ The guys decided that just fighting head on wouldn’t be enough. Summoning their ModMachines, the group formed ModKing as they charged into the city to confront OnoreViolet. “So...” “Not gonna to talk about it!” “I was just gonna ask what Ai thinks of you.” “Well, I know she loves me...I mean I was her first kiss, and I’m her first boyfriend.” “Her ‘first,’ huh?” Nathan asked, nudging Reggie. “Nathan, I swear, if we weren’t gonna use ModKing on OnoreViolet right now, I’d use him to step on you!” “Guys, pay attention! We’re gonna enter a battlefield!” “Yes Jordan...” “Killjoy.” “Nathan, not- What the...” As they approached, the city’s current state was obvious- a majority of the buildings were missing chunks off of them, cars were flipped and on fire, and down on the ground, several charred outlines of people were visible. “What did he do here?” “Look!” On the ground, OnoreViolet had gripped onto a civilian. “Oh, so you’ve finally decided to show up,” he said as he snapped the person’s neck. “I was getting bored with fighting people like this. But a giant robot, seriously?” “All the better to step on you with!” As ModKing’s foot was brought down, OnoreViolet just stared up at it. “Got him!” “You think so?” Underneath ModKing’s foot, was OnoreViolet, holding it up with one hand. “You gotta try something better than that!” Pushing upward, OnoreViolet flipped ModKing in midair before shooting at it with his combined gun. The attack was so powerful, that it separated ModKing into its components and forced them back into their portals. As the ModRangers crashed down into the Earth, OnoreViolet separated his weapons and charged. “Brace yourselves, guys! Nathan!” “Got it!” Nathan raised his ModClawShield up and created a barrier. “That won’t stop me!” said OnoreViolet, slashing away at the barrier. “No, but we know it will be able to distract you enough! Matt, Kyle!” OnoreViolet didn’t notice that Matt and Kyle had run around to his sides. Matt punched OnoreViolet with his ModGigaDrill, breaking up some pieces of his armor while Kyle opened fire into OnoreViolet’s face. “My turn!” Reggie came down from the sky, his body engulfed in violet flames as he came down and slashed at OnoreViolet. Landing on his opposite side, the group gathered with him as they formed the BanCannon. “Mind doing the honors?” “Gladly! Take this!” “VIOLET. CHARGING…INFRACTION LEVEL 3!!!” Taking aim at OnoreViolet, Reggie and the others braced themselves. “Submission Blast! Version Violet!” Just as the BanCannon was about to blast, OnoreViolet ran up to the team. “Too slow.” Plugging his guns into the barrels of the BanCannon, OnoreViolet opened fire. The resulting explosion knocked the ModRangers into separate directions, as OnoreViolet grabbed onto Reggie. “I need to have a word with you.” Pushing Reggie up against a wall, OnoreViolet let go and began to punch Reggie in the stomach over and over again. As Reggie felt the impact of each blow, OnoreViolet raised one hand and smacked Reggie clear across the street. “Reg!” Nathan got up and found OnoreViolet aiming at him. “Nuh-uh, calm down. I’ll have a talk with you after him.” “Leave him alone!” Jordan yelled, aiming his ModCalibur at OnoreViolet. Opening fire, OnoreViolet spun around and returned fire, resulting in another explosion. Reggie managed to sprout his wings and flew upward, only for OnoreViolet to shoot through the smog. As he fell from the sky, OnoreViolet leapt up and heel-kicked him into the ground. “Reg!” “Get up fool.” OnoreViolet showed no mercy, kicking Reggie along. Matt and Kyle attempted to get closer, but OnoreViolet's shots kept preventing them from getting within even 6 feet. Combining his two weapons, OnoreViolet aimed it directly at Reggie. With one powerful dragon shaped blast, Reggie was reverted to human form. “You make yourself out to be some big hero. But all you do is make me laugh. You wanna know why I'm stronger than you?” OnoreViolet said as he kept kicking Reggie. “Your foolish concerns and emotions for other's lives. You keep caring about what others think, and how they will react to your own actions!” OnoreViolet kicked Reggie straight into a wall- the impact made him cough blood. “There's no one more weak, than one who finds that he needs others in his life. For example...” Picking Reggie up by the neck, OnoreViolet repeatedly slammed him into the wall, before grasping something. “The love you have for that girl,” said OnoreViolet, holding something that caught Reggie's eye- the “T” necklace Ai had given him. “Stop...don't...” said Reggie, feeling the full force of the injuries he had suffered. “...There's nothing more pathetic, than someone who needs someone to love him,” said OnoreViolet, gripping the necklace firmly. “STOP IT!” Reggie's eyes widened as soon as he heard the crunch. Opening his fist, OnoreViolet let the now shattered necklace fall to the ground. Stepping on it, OnoreViolet laughed maniacally. “You bas-” Reggie was interrupted by a sharp pain he felt in his chest. Gripping it, he noticed something in his pocket glowing. ___ Back at the base, Ai watched the battle concerned, praying for Reggie to be safe. “Something’s not right...James, Will, check his vitals, search for any abnormalities!” Will was the first to notice the change that was going on. “Tony! His USB! It's online!” Concerned, Tony turned to Will and gripped his shoulders. “What did you just say?!” ___ At the scene of the fight, Reggie reached into his pocket and pulled out the USB, now on with a violet "H" on it. “His USB!” “Reggie! Use it!” Reggie looked down at it, and kicked OnoreViolet away. Gripping his USB and his ModPass, Reggie prepared himself. “MOD ACCESS, LOG IN!” Enveloped in his usual violet light, Reggie held the USB up. “I'll make you pay, you bastard! Hyper USB! Install!” Plugging the USB into the side of his ModBelt, the belt responded with “PROGRAM: HYPER. INSTALLING.” Reggie felt the power surging through his body, as his whole being lit up like a beacon. The other ModRangers shielded their eyes, as their comrade’s armor broke apart. The fragments of the armor turned into various animals, which surrounded Reggie before colliding into him. Just before his helmet formed, a large violet phoenix arose from the remaining fragments, followed by a stag beetle, an orca, a lion, a rhinoceros, a pterodactyl and a cobra. Colliding together into his helmet, Reggie was lowered onto his feet as various parts of his armor began to sharpen themselves. “So that's his Super Mode...Hyper ModViolet!” “Get him Reg!” “Do you really think you can-” Reggie suddenly was in front of OnoreViolet- his movements were so quick that everything was a blur. “-stop me?” Before he could react, Reggie gripped OnoreViolet's head and slammed him into the ground. “What the?!” "GAO!!!" “Reggie?” Reggie ignored Jordan and kept pressing OnoreViolet's head into the ground. The group looked on as Reggie's legs began to glow with a violet light. Running at an incredible speed, Reggie dragged OnoreViolet through the concrete, leaving a long crater before running into a building. OnoreViolet's body was planted firmly into the wall, before Reggie pulled him out. Throwing him up, Reggie kicked OnoreViolet upward. With his body soaring into the sky, OnoreViolet attempted to shoot at Reggie. Reggie just stood there as he took every single hit with the various building around him being destroyed. Looking upward at OnoreViolet, Reggie sprouted wings and took flight. OnoreViolet kept firing, but the attacks barely phased him. Circling around OnoreViolet, Reggie flew behind him and gripped his arm. “You bastard, what are you- GAAAAAAH!!!!!” The ModRangers down below looked in horror as OnoreViolet's arm fell to the ground. “You son of a-” Reggie ignored OnoreViolet as he ripped his other arm off. Kicking him to the ground, Reggie and OnoreViolet landed hard, enveloping the area with a dust cloud. As it cleared, the ModRangers looked in shock as Reggie held up one of OnoreViolet's legs. Tossing it aside, Reggie dug his hand into the ground, and pulled out a phoenix-like MedaGabryu. Taking his ModSpinSabre in hand, he combined the two and took aim. Inserting several Cell Medal-like objects and his ModPass, the weapon announced “HYPER...MODVIOLET, HISSATSU!!!” From the weapon, a large dark violet blast was unleashed upon OnoreViolet. The blast knocked the other ModRangers off their feet- luckily Jordan summoned ModAlpha to catch the group. As the smoke cleared, the group found Reggie holding OnoreViolet up by his helmet. “Reg, stop! That's enough!” Ignoring Jordan, Reggie's hand gripped until the helmet was crushed completely. The parts of OnoreViolet evaporated entirely into data. “Did... did he just off one of the Onorengers?” “So that's the power of a USB...” Leaping out of ModAlpha's hand, Kyle walked towards Reggie and placed a hand on his shoulder. “That was frightening. Alright Reg, why don't we head back to the ba-” “KYLE DON'T!” “GAO!!!!!” ___ Back at the base, Will and James were frantically at work attempting to solve what went on. Tony however, found himself trying to hold Ai back. "Tony!!! Let me go!!! I have to go to him!!! Please!!!" "Ai, it's too dangerous! If you go there..." Tony looked at Ai, whose eyes were filled with tears. "Ai...we gotta leave this in the hands of the others. I promise he will return safe," Tony said, holding Ai in his arms as she cried. *Just what the hell is going on?* Tony thought to himself. ___ "Kyle!" Nathan yelled as he caught his comrade. Matt and Jordan were attempting to subdue Reggie as he kept throwing them off. "Damn it, this is getting us nowhere! What's wrong with him?!" "We gotta figure out something soon before it's too late!" Looking on at Reggie, Jordan gestured the guys to come close as he told them his plan. Nodding all together, the group ran towards Reggie. Nathan ran behind Reggie and grabbed his hands, while Matt and Kyle held his legs. Jordan ran right in front of Reggie and grabbed the Hyper USB. "GAOOOO!!!!" "Sorry Reg," said Jordan as he shot Reggie in the face with his ModCalibur. As Reggie reeled back from the impact of the blast, Jordan pulled out the Hyper USB with his other hand; the transformation was cancelled as Reggie collapsed into his teammates arms. "Is he alright?" "He still has a pulse. He's probably exhausted." The group looked on at Reggie and looked around at the destruction around them. “What just happened?” ___ CPU medical staff rushed to the group as soon as they walked in, placing Reggie on a stretcher. Ai immediately ran to Reggie, laying her head on his chest before Jordan reassured her that he was alright. Holding onto Reggie's hand, Ai went with the medics into the emergency room. As they watched the “OPERATION IN PROGRESS” sign turn on, Tony walked up and placed a hand on Jordan’s shoulder. "Tony, what happened? Do you know?" "Jordan...this is one of those times that I don't even know. What we do know is that Reggie shouldn't use his USB though. And that you all need to refrain from using yours as well. We don't know if they will have the same effect on you." “You said a positive emotion is what was needed to activate them, right? Then why did Reggie’s react to his anger?” “I don’t know at all. We even checked his vitals, there was nothing wrong with him as soon as you came in.” The door opened, and to the group’s surprise, Ai came out with Reggie. “Guys...what happened to me?” “Reggie, you need to come with me.” Reaching out and grabbing his arm, Ai said, “Tony-san! He just woke up!” “AI! NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR YOU TO BE HIS DOTING GIRLFRIEND!” The room became completely silent. Ai looked at Tony in fear, cowering next to Reggie, who then stood in front of her and stared Tony down. “Even if you are my commanding officer...NEVER YELL AT MY GIRLFRIEND!” Reggie rose his fist and punched Tony in the face, sending him flying. “Reg! Calm down!” “Dude, what did you just do?!” The guys held Reggie back, but suddenly, he managed to push them all off. “Reggie...calm down, please...” Reggie stopped and turned to see Ai crying. “Ai...” Hugging her, Reggie kissed her forehead and looked as several members of CPU aimed guns at him. “What do you think you’re doing?!” Jordan asked, getting up in front of Reggie. “Look, we know that he just punched our boss, but lower your guns!” “Lower your guns!” The CPU employees did as they were told as Tony appeared, unscathed with a stern look on his face. “Reggie, I’ll need you to come with me. I’ll observe you and your USB myself.” “Tony...what is happening to me?” “I don’t know Reggie. But what I do know is that for some reason, whatever that USB did to you, it also affected you out of your suit as well. Now, come alo-” “Reggie!” Tony turned to see that Reggie had collapsed again. “Hmm...maybe he just needed rest after all. Ai, why don’t you take him home to his apartment. I’ll just look over his report.” “Yes sir!” Ai said, as Nathan and Jordan lifted Reggie up and carried him out of the room. Ai watched as they left before walking up to Tony. “Um...Tony-san...” “What is it, Ai?” “Do you think...the reason for Reggie’s anger just now...was because of me?” “What?! Ai, no! Not at all!” “But on the battlefield, when the necklace I gave him was broken, he became enraged like just now...what...what if it’s all my fault that he’s like this?!” Ai’s tears were running down her face before Tony wiped them away. “Look, you’re not the cause of this. I think what you are is his greatest strength. And he needs you now. Go to him, Ai.” “Are...you...sure?” “Yes, I am. Now go. And wipe those tears away, okay? Gotta look pretty for your boyfriend, don’t you?” Ai smiled and fixed herself up. “Thank you, Tony-san,” Ai said hugging him. As soon as she turned and left, Tony sat down on a bench and looked distraught. “Just what in the world happened to that kid...” Next time on Tokunation Sentai ModRanger! OnoreBlue: Duel... Allie: Um, Nathan, can we talk? KamenRiderOOO: Damn it...Sorry Ai... Sentai: Time to show you how epic I can be! Access 21: Epic! The Blue Hero’s Duel

Access 21: Epic! The Blue Hero’s Duel “Aw come on guys! I just spent two days in a coma and had to make sure my girlfriend didn’t get taken away by her younger sister, who for whatever reason and no matter how many times I tell her, won’t stop calling me!” “That and your older sister also came to visit, honey.” “Ai, please don’t remind me. It was hard enough to get her out of my apartment when she first saw you.” “I honestly didn’t expect her to give you such a lecture. And for her to beg me not to leave you.” “Yeah...wait, what?” “Can you two just shut up and sit down?” asked an aggravated Matt. The two of them sat down as the announcer came out on stage. “Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to ‘Knee Slappers,’ Long Beach’s newest comedy club! Since we opened today, we were lucky enough to have an act lined up.” “Here we go...” “Come up onto the stage, Nathan!!!” “Oh dear lord, NO!” “What did I do to deserve this?” “I feel a disturbance in the force!” “Hey, I heard that!” yelled an aggravated Nathan from the stage. Looking into the crowd, he saw all his friends, and the one good thing in his life he knew he couldn’t live without- Allie. A fiery glasses wearing redhead, the twenty seven year old beauty stared at her boyfriend. Finding himself full of confidence, Nathan took the mic in hand. “Hey guys, you know what time it is? It's Morphin Time!” The whole room was silent with the sound of crickets in the background. “Time for Buster?.... Is this thing on?” The guys tried to eat their food while listening to Nathan’s jokes, but found they all lost their appetites. “Okay, look, I know you are my boyfriend’s friends. So please, can you laugh along to his jokes?” “We’ll try, right guys?” Jordan looked to see Matt playing with his pasta, Kyle texting and Reggie and Ai kissing. “Uh, hello! We’re in a comedy club supporting our friend! Mind paying attention?!” “Sorry.” “My bad.” “We can continue later, right?” “Course baby.” Allie smiled and turned her head to the stage. “Okay, looks like he’s ready to tell another joke.” “So there are these two Kaiju that are just stomping around Tokyo, and the one Kaiju starts off by saying: ‘This town ain't big enough for the both of us…I'm gonna have to destroy ya!’ So the other kaiju says ‘Destroyah?! But I don't even know ya!’”Allie’s smile quickly faded as she looked at the guys who were resuming what they did earlier. “Oh hold up sweetie, gotta go to the little girl’s room.” “Okay Ai,” Reggie said with a smile. “I’ll miss you.” “I’ll miss you more!” “No, I’ll miss you more!” “Ugh, I don’t know what makes me sicker, Nathan’s jokes or you two lovebirds stuck on repeat.” “Ahem! Can I continue?” “No!” “Hey, I didn’t ask you!...ahem, where was I? Oh! Why couldn't Red Buster cross the road? Because there was a chicken on the other side!” “What the hell are you talking about?!” “Seriously, we have no idea what you are saying!” “Oh dear lord, he’s horrible. Make him stop.” “Name something Allie says to Nathan when they are alone together.” Allie glared at Matt who just turned around and nonchalantly whistled. Up on stage, Nathan was shaking. The crowd was getting furious. “Uh...why do you call it when a Rider decides to help a citizen? ‘Kamen’ courtesy!” “What does that even mean?!” “Boo, you stink.” “Quiet Matt!” Suddenly, Nathan found Matt’s pasta all over his face. The other members of the audience except Allie, Jordan, Kyle and Reggie all threw something at Nathan, but he successfully dodged all of it. “Hey, I’m back baby!” Ai said, running to her seat. “Tada!” Nathan said, wiping the pasta sauce from his face. Just as he was about to grab his mic, a chair was flung right at him, knocking him out. “Oh my god! Nathan!” ___ Back at Anime Junction, Allie bandaged the injured Nathan. “Real supportive guys.” “It’s not our fault your jokes su-” “Matt! Be nice, he’s hurt.” “How did that chair hit him anyway?” “Sumimasen...” “What is it, Ai?” “It was me.” “EH?!” Allie grabbed Ai by the collar and lifted her off the ground. Reggie was about to pull out his ModPass when Ai started to cry. “I...I didn’t mean to! I...I tripped running back and that flung my seat at him!” “Like I’d buy that!” Allie said, raising her fist about to punch Ai. Reggie grabbed her arm and was about to twist it when Nathan stood up. “Whoa, Allie, it’s alright! Trust me, that could really happen with her.” “Oh yeah? Then why is her boyfriend in one piece?” Everybody turned to Reggie. “Wait...how is it that you’re still okay?” “If I took my shirt off you’d see that I’m not.” “Fair enough, we...we do not want to see you shirtless...Ai, put your hand down.” Ai shyly did what she was told and found herself falling. Reggie caught her and ran to the other side of the room, glaring at Allie. “What? I’m not gonna hurt her any more. Look, I’m sorry, okay?” Ai looked at Reggie and nodded, so the young man walked up to Allie and shook her hand. “I’m sorry I frightened your girlfriend. How’s about we all go get something to eat sometime? Make it a double date. Nathan will be paying of course.” “Wait, what?” “Sounds good to me,” said Reggie chuckling. “Hey Jordan, mind if Ai and I go home? I still gotta fix things up over there.” “No prob Reg. Have a nice night you two.” “We will! And say hi to Kristin for us!” said Ai, as she found herself swept up by Reggie and carried off in his arms. “So watcha wanna do, Matt?” “Eh, gonna go home and finish up some articles. What about you, Kyle?” “Same thing! But for a Vocaloid website...” “Ah. Good luck with that.” Matt picked up his stuff and left, followed by Kyle shortly after. “Hey guys, I gotta close up shop. Mind heading home now?” “Uh, sure Jordan, of course. Let’s go Allie.” As they walked along hand in hand down the Long Beach streets, Nathan looked closely at Allie. Around the same height as him, he looked into her green eyes as she stared back at him. “Um, Nathan, can we talk?” “Oh god, please, I’m sorry! Don’t break up with me! I know my jokes suck but-” Nathan’s frantic moment was halted by a kiss from Allie. “Nathan, I’m not breaking up with you. I wanted to give you this.” Allie took Nathan’s hand and placed something in it. Opening his hand, Nathan’s eyes widened. “It’s the key to my apartment. You know, since we’re together now, I dunno how awkward it’d be for your roommate for me to show up all the time.” Nathan’s eyes teared up as he hugged Allie before he kissed her. “Let’s go there n-” Allie smacked him. “You moron, you’re still hurt, get some rest!” Allie looked back to see he had been face-planted into a wall. “Ack! Nathan!” ___ The next day, Nathan bolted down to the base. “Crap, overslept!” Running inside, he tackled a couple of the CPU employees just to get to the training room. As soon as he came in, he was greeted by Tony, who had a stern look on his face. “You shouldn’t have been late dude.” “Seriously, you remembered that you were the next one Tony was gonna train, right?” “Uh...yeah. Hey, where’s Reg and Ai?” “In the lab, she’s currently analyzing him and his USB.” “Are you sure Tony? They are a new couple, I’m sure they’re-” Before he could finish, an explosion was heard in the background. “Are we under attack?!” Suddenly, Reggie ran in, covered in ashes with his hair messed up. “No, Ai pressed the self-destruct button on the main computer. She’s fine, I shielded her from the blast. And if you excuse me, I’m going to collapse now.” Reggie fell hard with a thud when the CPU employees ran in and carried him out on a stretcher. “Um. Let’s continue. Nathan, transform, and we’ll begin training.” “Uh, sure Tony. MOD ACCESS, LOG IN!” Inserting his pass in, the belt announced. *BLUE, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING...* Surrounded in a blue light, the heads of a stegosaurus and a saber tooth tiger surrounded him. The tiger flew to his left shoulder and bit down his chest diagonally, forming his suit, as the stegosaurus head flew behind his head, biting down as it formed his helmet. “Your main strength is your defensive ability, Nathan. We’ll need to increase your offensive ability.” “Eh? But Tony, one of the things this suit gives me is super strength.” “Yes, but your offensive power still is lacking. That shield of yours, for example, it can defend but it's offensive capabilities have proven to be less than that of the other weapons.” “We’ll see about that! Hyaa!!!” Throwing his shield with all his might, Nathan watched as it cut through several things in the training room before making its way to Tony. “Ha, just watch! You’ll see my shield packs a pu-” Tony raised a hand and flicked the shield away with his finger. “Eh?” “See, what did I tell you?” Tony suddenly jumped right at Nathan, who ran to his shield and held it up. Tony quickly kicked it aside and punched Nathan in the face, cancelling out his transformation. “OW! Tony, what the hell?!” “You have to be ready to expect the unexpected. Rather than defend and attack, all you did was defend against me. You need to learn to be able to do both at once.” Tony picked up a Blank Sword and threw it to Nathan. “Transform again, and this time, try both.” “Alright...here I go!” ___ “Ow! Hey, watch it!” “Yo Reg. IT’S MORPHINE TIME!” “Not now dude.” Reggie was in a bed in the ER, but he quickly got up at the sound of Nathan’s joke. “Whoa! What happened to you?!” “Is it that noticeable?” “Dude, instead of a black eye, the entire right side of your face is bruised!” Nathan removed his sunglasses and nodded. “Yeah, Tony kinda got rough during training back there.” “Dude, I know that feeling. If I didn’t use my wings during my training session with him to soften the blow, I would’ve felt what you are feeling right now.” Nathan glared at Reggie and sighed. “Look, if your girlfriend isn’t blowing you up, can you get her to fix my face?...hehe...b-” Reggie threw his USB at Nathan. “Ow dude! That’s my good eye!” “I’ll get Ai to come in here. We do need to get you fixed up for the double date tonight.” “Oh crap! I forgot about that!” “You did? Well, then you definitely are paying!” “You little brat! Now, run into my fist! I still can’t see that well.” ___ “Now that Victor has been eliminated, I want all of you on high alert.” “...Coward...” “What did you just call Jered?!” “...Fool...” “Grr...” “Now calm down Graham, Blake.” “But Jered, he-” “You two know how our friend is here. What happened to Victor was his own fault. He underestimated the ModRangers and went in head first like a fool. But Azure here is different. His strength is what will truly make the ModRangers suffer. You may go, Azure. But you know what you must do.” “...Viral...Access.” Inserting his pass into a cybernetic belt, it announced *BLUE. FIREWALL DOWN.* From the ground, bones made of blue data came out and began to rotate around Azure. Linking together, the bones formed into a large skeletal blue stegosaurus. As it circled him, it struck him with its tail, forming some armor on him. As it approached behind him, it opened it’s mouth and swallowed him whole before exploding, revealing OnoreBlue in his complete transformed state. “Now you know what to do to ModBlue, right?” “Duel...” “And then?” “...Kill...” ___ “And there, you should be all patched up now.” “Thanks Ai.” “But I am curious, how did your other eye get injured?” “Your boyfriend did it.” Ai turned to Reggie who was looking away and whistling. “Now baby, that’s not nice! He’s your friend, you shouldn’t be hitting him!” “I’m sorry Ai...” “Aw, it’s okay baby, I forgive you. Now lower yourself a bit so I can kiss you,” Ai said with a smile. “Oh come on! He hit me!” Nathan’s anger was unheard as the young couple kept kissing. “All ModRangers, please report to the central computer, ASAP.” “Whoa, gotta go baby.” “I’ll be waiting,” Ai said, kissing her boyfriend one last time before they bolted out. “Dude, why are you so pampered by her?” “You’re just jealous.” “Of what? My girlfriend isn’t a clumsy Japanese girl who causes pain to her overly pampered ‘nearly-a-foot-taller’ boyfriend.” “Look, don’t piss me off, we’re almost there.” As the two entered the room, the central compute turned on. “We have an Anon Attack.” “What is it this time?! A new monster made by Hax?! Ease?!” “Agro. Although, he doesn’t seem like himself. He’s unaccompanied right now, and seems to be attacking things at random.” “Isn’t that what he usually does?” “Yes, but his behavior is still odd. Head out team.” “Yes sir!” ___ As they charged into shopping center near the Los Coyotes Diagonal, the team took out their ModPasses. “Mod Access, Log In!” RED, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING... BLUE, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING... GREEN, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING... BLACK, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING... VIOLET, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING... As they ran towards the nearest store, Reggie paused. “What’s wrong bud?” “I could go for a donut right now.” “Dude!” “What?! I’m hungry!” “Reg, now’s not the time to-” “Aw c’mon! They have maple flavored.” “...We’ll pick up some later, for now, let’s go!” Reggie sighed and looked back at the donut shop as the others kept charging to where they saw smoke. In the middle of the parking lot was an enraged Agro, tossing cars with two of his arms and cutting through some with his other arms. “Hey Agro! For disrupting the peace of this city, we order you to-” Jordan ducked as a car was sent flying towards him. “Dude, don’t give him the ‘halt villain’ speech! You know he’s crazy!” Agro kept slamming cars into each other before turning towards the ModRangers. Rotating his face into his angry face, Agro suddenly jolted towards them. “Here he comes guys! Brace yourselves!” As he came closer, they pulled out their weapons. “Here he comes!” Agro leapt, arms spread out as he was about to pounce on them. ___ To the guy’s surprise, Agro fell to the floor and rolled into a ball crying like a baby. “Uh...is he alright?” “Matt, go check!” “Geez, why me...alright, what’s the problem with yo-” Suddenly, Agro grabbed Matt and began to squeeze him tight. “Gu...Guys...help!” “Don’t worry Matt, we’ll get you out of-” “W444444H!!!!!!” The guys were thrown off by Agro’s crying. “Guys...all four of his faces are tearing up...what do we do?” “1 kn0w 1 usu4LLy 4tt4ck t3h c1ty c0z 1'm 3v1L, but 1'm just s0 s4d r1ght n0w!” “Whoa, whoa whoa, what happened big guy?” “Matt, are you really asking one of our sworn enemies what’s wrong with him?!” “Hey, maybe we can get some info out of him about the Anon army!” “My... g1rLfr13nd... br0k3 up w1th m3!!!” “Seriously?! You had a girlfriend?!” “w00t, 4m4y4...” “Seriously?! That hacking brat?!” “Dude, you're a freaking General for crying out loud! Amaya isn't worth getting all bent out of shape over, trust me…I've been there.” All the guys including Agro looked at Matt. “What? I dated her for a short time. It ended badly.” “1...just...h4v3 s0 m4ny...1ssu3z...” “Look, there are lots of fish in the sea. For example, Nathan’s girlfriend, Allie. Pretty sure that won’t last.” “Hey!” “I’d recommend Reggie’s but she- hey, where is Reggie?” The guys looked around only to see Reggie sitting on top of a lamp post with a bag in his hand. “Dude, did you seriously go out and buy donuts?!” Reggie leapt down and reached into the bag. “Want one Agro? It’s plain sugar.” “Moron!” Jordan hit Reggie on his head and dragged him away. “1 und3rst4nd. Th4nkz. But 1 w1LL d3str0y j00 4LL t3h n3xt t1m3 1 s33 j00!” Agro threw Matt at Nathan, before opening a portal to Cyberspace. Walking inside, he switched to his standard face as the portal closed. “Matt, what was that about my girlfriend?” asked Nathan, cracking his knuckles. “Nothing!” Matt bolted away as Nathan chased after him, with Kyle and Jordan following while dragging Reggie. Unbeknownst to them, the portal opened again and Agro peered his head out of it, watching Nathan carefully. ___ Later that night, Nathan and Allie drove to Buca di Beppo, an Italian restaurant that Reggie had recommended. Nathan looked over at Allie, she was dressed in a shimmering black dress and high heels, with her hair tied up. Her piercing green eyes looked towards Nathan. “Something wrong?” “Nah, not at all. You just...look incredible.” “You don’t look too bad yourself,” she said kissing him. “Now where are those two?” “Hey, we’re here!” The couple looked towards the doorway as Reggie and Ai ran in- he was dressed in a suit with a purple tie and she was in a pink dress. “Thanks again for paying, Nathan.” ‘Yeah, yeah, now c’mon, they’re waiting to seat us.” Allie looked on a the young couple as Reggie held Ai’s hand and looked away shyly. Looking up at Nathan, she reached for his hand but accidentally pulled him down. “Ow, what are you doing?” “Sorry, I just uh... never mind.” Allie rushed up the stairs as Reggie and Ai looked at Nathan. “What?” “Nothing dude. Let’s go baby.” “Okay, darling!” Reggie swept Ai off her feet and carried her up the stairs, leaving a confused Nathan to ponder before he got up and joined them. ___ A couple hours had passed after the couples sat together, getting ready to order dessert. Allie looked over at Reggie and Ai, who were wiping pasta sauce off each other’s cheeks. “There you go, baby.” “There you go, honey.” Allie sighed and turned to Nathan. *I wanna call him something cute too...but...oh well, here goes!* “There you go, my sweetheart.” “There you go, my big handsome man.” “There you go, my itty bitty pretty.” *What?! No, come on, I haven’t been able to do anything cute with my boyfriend all night!* “My fine Filipino firecracker.” “My jubilant Japanese jewel.” “You’re the apple of my eye.” “You’re the beat of my heart.” “My everything.” “The only thing I need.” “My dear-” “Sweet-” “Loveable-” “Adorable-” “Hanībanī,” Ai said with a smile. “Will you two shut up already?! And geez, calling him ‘honey bunny?’ What are you, five?!” Allie yelled, grabbing a beer from another table and gulping it down. “Waiter, another!” When the waiter showed up, Allie immediately grabbed her drink and gulped it down. “More!” “Allie-san...are you okay?” “What? Yeah, I’m fine! Just peachy!” “Ma’am, I think it’d be best not for you to have another b-” “Hey, Ai, you’re a scientist, right? Is it alright for me to have another beer?” “Ma’am, you’ve already had four tonigh-” “Hey, shut up, I’m asking my friend a question! So Ai, is it alright?” “Well...uh...” “IS IT?!” “Ye...yes...” “You heard the girl bring me another three and leave them here!” “Yes ma’am!” As the waiter ran off in fear, Allie looked at Nathan. “Uh...are you alright Allie-cat?” Allie scowled and slammed her beer bottle onto the table. “Oh now Mister 'I sleep with a Fluttershy plushie' decides to be cute with me!” “Pfft...you sleep with a Fluttershy plushie?” “Nossan, that’s embarrassing...” “Hey, I remember Reggie talking about having something he cuddles with at ni- oh...” Ai blushed and turned away as Allie kept chugging her beer. “Uh, Allie, you might wanna stop drinking that, you’re starting to turn pink.” “Not like how Nathan here turned pink one day. Hey genius, my name is not Moune!” Reggie and Ai’s eyes widened as they turned to Nathan. “I have no idea what she’s talking about.” “Oh, and get this, get this! You know in Kyoryuger-” “Allie, don’t!” “Wait, wait, it’s funny!” Allie threw one of the bottles behind her, hitting the waiter. “He, wants me, to dress up...as Canderrilla.” “Allie-” “Not yet, I’m not finished! As I was saying, as Canderrilla, but not human Canderrilla, DEBOSS CANDERRILLA!” “Nossan...” “Allie, please sto-” “And he wanted me to sing the song! Well guess what buddy, I’m not gonna sing a single f-” “Excuse me, ma’am.” Allie turned to see several police officers and the injured waiter. “We’re gonna have to ask you to leave.” Nathan took one quick look at Allie and grabbed her, bolting down the stairs. “I’m afraid one of you will have to pay for the damages done and the dinner.” “Nathan so owes me...” Reggie said, reaching for his wallet. ___ Nathan drove Allie and himself back to their apartment complex. Just as he was walking her up to her door, Allie woke up. “Na...Nathan?” “Allie-cat, you awake?” “Hmmph.” Allie turned her head away from him. “What’s wrong?” “You know, watching them act all cute and sweet, I wanted to experience some of that for once. I mean you were definitely different when we started dating, but I grew to love the you you are today.” Nathan turned his head sheepishly and whispered to himself, “I gotta remember to never tell her I swapped bodies with Kyle.” “What was that?” “Nothing, nothing!” Allie took her glasses off and stared at Nathan. “Look, I’m sorry for what I did tonight, it was completely unnecessary. And I gotta apologize to Ai and Reggie as well.” “And that waiter. And the restaurant. And the cops.” “...What happened after I drank?” “A lot Allie, a lot. Look, I’m sorry for all those things before, could you ever forgive me?” Allie smiled and grabbed Nathan, holding him close. “Of course I do,” she said, slowly pulling away before kissing him. When their lips parted, Allie and Nathan stared into each other’s eyes. “I love you Nathaniel.” “I love you too, Deloris.” Allie balled her hand into a fist and punched Nathan. “I told you not to call me that! My name is Alyson ‘Allie’ Anders!” “But your real first name is-” “Oh shut up!” Allie kissed Nathan again, and then backed away. ___ “Bleeeeeeggghhhh. Oh sorry Nathan, that wasn’t cause of the kiss, I just had too much to drink.” “It...It’s fine Allie...I’m just not gonna get my deposit back for this suit...” ___ As soon as Nathan walked into CPU, he felt a clipboard slam into his face. “Ow, what the-” “That’s what you get for ditching Reggie and I at the restaurant last night! You know much Reggie had to spend?!” “I get it, I get it, stop hitting me with the clipboard!” Reggie suddenly appeared behind Ai and grabbed her wrist. “It’s okay baby. Hey Nathan, we got something in for you.” “Huh? What are you talking about?” “It appears to be a scroll. No idea why they didn’t just send an email. It’s in the command center, c’mon.” Holding his hand out to Nathan, Reggie helped him up. “You still owe me, though.” “Seriously?!” “Yeah, now c’mon dude, everyone’s waiting!” As soon as they arrived, Nathan was handed the letter and opened it. “What’s wrong Nathan?” “Whoever wrote this really needs some lessons in writing. Every word is spaced out.” The guys peered over Nathan’s shoulders and read the words- *You....Me... Duel... Fight...To...Death...* “Huh, he really does. But who do you think wrote it?” “I think I have an idea,” Tony said, behind the command terminal. Typing into his computer, Tony pulled up footage. “Why are we looking at the Veteran’s Affair hospital near CSULB?” “Look who is at the top.” “Ah! It’s that guy!” Sitting on the top of the hospital was none other than OnoreBlue, who was blasting cars and civilians below with blasts from his shield. “Blue...Fight...Me...Alone...Or...Everyone...Here...Dies...” “Damn it...Nathan, you know what you have to do.” “Right!” “Nathan!” “What is it Tony?” “I’m giving you clearance to use your USB. Be sure to use it as a last resort though, we don’t know what could happen,” Tony said, looking at Reggie. “Tony, are you sure we shouldn’t go with him?” “Jordan, you know I would want you to. But we can’t risk it. Unlike the situation with Jered before, this guy doesn’t seem to hesitate in attacking the innocent. We need to take caution. You will all stay here and be sure to watch out for any other developments, got it?” “Yes sir!” “Nathan, head out!” Nathan ran out the door as Reggie looked down. Ai walked up to him and held his hand before walking away. As she left, he realized she had placed something in his hand. “Tony, do you mind if I go home? I still feel a bit odd from the past few days, I think I could use some rest.” “Very well Reggie, but make sure to come back as soon as you’re rested. We need to perform more tests.” Reggie nodded and walked out of the command center, before heading back into the training room to grab something. Looking around, he picked up what he wanted, and quickly ran out of CPU. ___ “Damn...when will Nathan come back? I mean his job shouldn’t keep him away all da- wait...what does Nathan do for a living?” Allie was laying in her bed, looking over at Nathan’s tie, which he had left the night before. Hearing a knock on the door, she bolted up and ran. “Nathan?!” “Gu3sz 4g41n!” ___ Nathan was almost to the hospital when he heard footsteps behind him. Quickly turning and slamming his pursuer to the ground, Nathan looked closer at who was following him. “Dude, get off me!” Nathan looked down to see he had in fact slammed Reggie into the pavement. “Whoa, sorry...hey, why are you here?!” “Look, I just wanted to make sure things are alright. Plus, I wanted to make sure things don’t go wrong when you use your USB. I mean...when I used it...I felt like a completely different person...I lost control. Ai filled me in on everything...and seeing her cry like that...I don’t want the same thing to happen between you and Allie.” “Well, to be fair...I still haven’t told her the truth yet.” “What?!” “Yeah...I don’t want her to be in any danger. But hey, thanks for looking out for me, Reg. Honestly, I’m glad to have a best friend like you.” “Likewise bud. Now, you got a duel to get to.” “Right, let’s go!” As they approached the parking lot of the Veteran’s Affair Hospital, Reggie transformed and quickly helped civilians evacuate. “Nathan, everything is clear down here. Proceed to the roof.” “Got it!” Making his way up several flights of stairs, Nathan kicked the door leading to the roof down. “Finally...” “So, you want to fight me one on one, huh?” “B3tt3r m4k3 d4t tw0 0n 0n3!” Nathan turned to see Agro, and held in two of his arms- “Allie! What are you doing with her, you freak?!” “Gr33n wuz r1ght, sh3 b pr3tty. 1'm g0nn4 t4k3 h3r b4ck w1th m3 2 Cyb3rsp4c3. U m4d br0?!” “Very!” “Nathan!” Reggie flew directly at Agro, slicing his arms and freeing the unconscious Allie. “I got her, go wild!” “Right! Mod Access, Log In!” Inserting his ModPass into his ModBelt, the belt announced: BLUE, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING... With blue data bits flying around him, the heads of a stegosaurus and saber tooth tiger flew towards Agro and OnoreBlue, biting at them as they flew back at Nathan, completing his transformation. “You wanted a fight? You got one!” Running towards Agro first, Nathan grabbed two of his arms and swung him around, intent on launching him at OnoreBlue. Suddenly, Agro used his two free arms and legs to grab Nathan, and used the momentum to launch him instead. OnoreBlue drew his sword and slashed at the incoming Nathan, knocking him over onto the roof. “Damn...ModClawShield!” With his weapon in hand, Nathan swung forward, hitting OnoreBlue with the spikes. OnoreBlue countered with his sword, knocking Nathan towards Agro, who hit him from behind with his own swords. “Damn...Tony’s right, I need to be able to attack and defend...but my ModClaw is too short...” “Nathan! Catch!” Nathan turned to see Reggie toss him something. “A Blank Sword!” Grabbing the weapon by the handle, Nathan swung it and his shield, blocking the blades of his opponents. “Damn...he’s in a stalemate...I gotta help him...” Reggie watched on as his friend was being pushed to the ground. “Nathan!” “It’s alright Reg...gah....I can handle this...” Reggie looked closely and could see that Nathan’s ModSuit was sustaining heavy damage. “I just gotta...hold on...a little longer!” Bringing their swords up, Nathan felt the blades cut through his body. “Nathan! Damn it...Sorry Ai... Hyper USB! INSTALL!” “Reg, don’t!” Nathan’s words were ignored as Reggie installed his USB, transforming immediately into Hyper ModViolet. Already out of control, Reggie lunged forward and attacked all three, causing them to fly off into different directions. “Reg, snap out of it!” “GAO!!!” “Damn, he’s not listening to me...” Nathan looked down to see his own USB beside him. “Damn...should I take the risk...or will I end up like him?” OnoreBlue and Agro charged towards Reggie, who grabbed both of them by the heads and slammed them into the ground. Agro used one of his arms to knock Reggie off his feet, and held his arms together. OnoreBlue took the opportunity to slash at Reggie, who spread his wings, knocking the two enemies off their feet. “Reg, snap out of it!” Reggie heard Nathan and slowly made his way to him, his weapons materializing in his hand. “Damn it...I know I shouldn’t...but I gotta take care of this...I won’t let my friend be like this any longer!” To his surprise, Nathan’s USB glowed a bright blue, turning gold with a Blue E in the center of it. “Positive emotion...so mine was the feeling of friendship huh? Whatever, I got the perfect name for this thing! Epic USB! INSTALL!” Plugging his USB into the side of his belt, it announced: PROGRAM: EPIC. INSTALLING. Finding himself surrounded in a blue aura of data fragments, Nathan watched as a large silver saber toothed lion appeared from the USB. Charging towards Reggie, Agro and OnoreBlue, it knocked them off their feet before landing behind him. Raising the Blank Sword up, the Lion flew into it, forming a new weapon for Nathan. Manifestations of a stegosaurus and saber tooth tiger appeared behind him, and began to rip apart his suit. When they finished, the two converged and charged into Nathan, creating a new suit for him and enlarging his shield. “Time to show you how epic I can be!” With his new sword in hand, Nathan folded it into a firearm, blasting OnoreBlue with a barrage of lasers. With his enlarged shield, he chucked it at Agro, knocking him off his feet. “D4mn...1 d1dn't s1gn up 4 d1z! l8r!” Agro opened a portal into Cyberspace and ran inside. “Coward...” “Hey, your opponent is me!” “Think...again...one...more...player...in...this...game...” Nathan noticed that OnoreBlue was right, as Reggie began to get back onto his feet. Looking directly at Nathan, Reggie reached out as his weapon materialized, before he aimed at Nathan. “Sorry bro, but I gotta make sure you don’t go wild.” Taking out a card, Nathan inserted it into his shield. “Epic Barrier!” At his command, Reggie was sealed inside a force field. Attacking the walls that confined him, Reggie eventually passed out, reverting back into his civilian form. “Now, to handle you.” The two blue swordsmen held their shields and swords as they stared each other down. Leaping forward, the two clashed swords as OnoreBlue attempted to hit Nathan with his shield. Blocking it with his own, Nathan activated his Epic Barrier again, creating force fields that held OnoreBlue to the surface of the roof. “Now to make sure you never mess with my friends and this city again!” Taking out 3 small Zyudenchi-like items, Nathan turned his blade back into its sword mode, inserting each one. Taking out his ModPass, Nathan inserted it into the back of the blade. As the weapon charged with blue energy, OnoreBlue just stared straight at Nathan. “...Bring...It...” “With pleasure.” Swinging his blade down onto OnoreBlue’s chest, the weapon created a large explosion which almost knocked Reggie off the roof. Seeing his friend falling, Nathan suddenly found himself transformed into a large lion’s head as it flew down and scooped him up. Landing back on the roof, Nathan was surprised to see OnoreBlue unscathed. “What?!” “Heh....that...didn’t...huh?” OnoreBlue looked down at his hands, which were suddenly breaking up into several bits of data. “No...not...yet!” The last few pieces of data disappearing, OnoreBlue exploded into a pillar of flames. Transforming back into his lion head form, Nathan flew himself and Reggie off the roof just as the flames were about to reach them. “Damn...Reg, you’re a reckless idiot who knew the consequences of what would happen if you used your USB. I can’t believe you pulled off such a dumbass move!” Landing on the ground, Nathan looked at his unconscious friend and smirked. “Ai will probably kill you for this later. But you know...thanks for being such a great friend.” ___ “BAKA!!!” Reggie felt the impact of Ai’s slap, waking him up. “Wha-huh?!” “Reggie, what did we warn you about?! We told you not to use your USB. You’re lucky Nathan didn’t undergo the same side effects and managed to save you!” “I’m sorry Tony...Ai...sweetie...you still mad at me?” Ai looked at Reggie with tears in her eyes. “I was worried, so worried, never do something reckless again!” Reggie hugged her and looked at Tony. “Tony, I give you full permission to examine me. No matter what test it is, I will undergo it. Until we can find out what’s wrong with me, I swear I won’t use my USB.” “Reggie, with the power your USB gives you, we may need you to use it again someday. But you are under no circumstances, to use it unless another ModRanger is around with their USB and they are able to detain you. Understand?” “Yes sir...hey, where is Nathan? I wanted to thank him for stopping me and saving me.” “He’s taking the rest of the day off.” ___ “Huh?” “You awake Allie-cat?” “Nathan?” Allie got up from her bed and looked around. Seeing she was in her apartment with her boyfriend looking at her, Allie sighed. “Looks like it was just one weird dream. I need to stop drinking.” “Nah babe, you just need to do it in moderation.” “I know what you need to do in moderation,” she said winking at him. “Sweet, I save the city and now I get to-” “Save the city?” “Uh, nothing babe!” Nathan said, leaping into her bed with her and giving her a big kiss.

Access 22: Mega! The Black Hero’s Passion! The guys helped Nathan out of bed and brought him out of the room. “Ugh...where’s Kyle? He could really help us out with this!” “I’m not that heavy! But yeah...where is he?” The guys looked around to see Kyle sitting in a lounge chair, drinking a smoothie. “What?” “Dude, where were you?!” “Help us out with this!” “HEY! I’m not a ‘this,’ I’m a person!” “Oh, my bad.” “Hey Kyle...what’s that beside you?” The guys looked to the side of Kyle, and standing next to him was what looked like a person with a lampshade on its head. “Uh...it’s a lamp! Duh, see?” Kyle pulled on the person’s arm and the lampshade lit up and illuminated the room. “See?! Lamp!” The guys all looked at Kyle with neutral faces. Dropping Nathan’s legs, Reggie walked up to Kyle and took the lampshade off. “WHOA!” “WHAT THE?!” “ISN’T THAT?!” “Ehehehe...Guys...meet LukaRoid MK2…” As the guys were still in awe, Ai walked into the room. “Oh, so now you’ve introduced her to everybody?” “Ai...did you have something to do with this?” “Yeah...remember when Kyle-san was in that full body cast? Well, I wanted to make something for him to help him feel more comfortable and well...here we are!” “So you built him a robot that looks just like-” “Yup! She built me my very own Luka!” Kyle said, hugging LukaRoid MK2. “Uh...don’t you guys find it kinda odd that-” “She looks like the LukaRoid from a while back? Well, Ai apparently looked over the previous security footage and built her based on that!” While he still hugged LukaRoid MK2, Tony walked into the room, stared, then turned around. “Ah! Tony, meet-” “I see...Ai, why did you build him that?” “To help Kyle-san feel more comfortable while he was healing.” “So wait, that thing has been here in the base since we’ve been injured?!” “Yup.” “HOW DID WE NOT NOTICE BEFORE?!” “She was always standing in the room, don’t tell me you didn’t notice!” Kyle walked over to a terminal and brought up security footage. On the screens, everybody could see what had occurred the past few weeks- in every corner was LukaRoid. “Uh...how did we really not notice that before?” “Ahem.” The group turned to Tony, who was holding a clipboard. “Okay team, here’s the news. Nathan, your belt still isn’t repaired yet, Ai is working on that. And by the way…” Tony dropped his clipboard and ran at Nathan, dropkicking him. “ARE YOU AN IDIOT?!” “WHA!” Nathan was sent flying, hitting a wall. “Tony!” “Come on, he just got better!” “Now I’ll tell you why I did that!” Grabbing Nathan by his shirt collar, Tony held him against the wall. “Listen, each of the USBs were made to correspond to only ONE ModRanger at a time. Each one was formed by a corresponding Original ModRanger- Jordan received data from ModBronze, you received data from ModNavy, Reggie received data from ModYellow, Matt gained data from ModWhite, and Kyle gained data from ModHunter. The remaining data from ModCyan converged with each other part of data, forming your USB. The reason for this is because their powers closely corresponded to yours. Which means this...ONLY ONE USB PER PERSON! THE USE OF MORE THAN ONE IS LIFE THREATENING!” Letting Nathan go, Tony adjusted himself as he looked at him. “Now, you being able to survive that ordeal indicates that perhaps you will overcome that someday. But for now, your USB is on lockdown. And your ModBelt is not repaired, so you are to sit out on missions from now on. Understand?” “Sir, yes sir!” “Good, now Jordan, Matt, Reggie, Kyle. Report to the training room. I need to reassess how you all are physically. Nathan, sit on the bench.” As the guys made it to the training room, Ai followed Reggie and held his hand. “Huh? Ai, shouldn’t you be-” “I decided I’ll train with you guys too!” “Eh?” “Honey, there may be a time where I’ll need to defend myself and you’re not around.” “But baby, I’ll always be there to prot-” “No buts! Except yours, which I’ll kick!” Ai said winking, before running ahead. Coming back, she gestured Reggie to lower his head. “But of course I wouldn’t hurt you in anyway...intentionally...honey,” she whispered, before kissing his cheek. Running to the woman’s locker room, Ai waved to Reggie as he entered the men’s locker room. Changing clothes, Reggie went into the training room, and saw Matt and Jordan immediately sparring. “Heh, is that the best you got?!” “Hey, don’t look down on your leader, Matt!” From the other side of the room, Reggie could see Ai- she walked in wearing a white and pink leotard. Stretching, she noticed Reggie staring and waved to him. “Hey Reg, let’s spar!...Reg?” Kyle looked at Reggie and could see that his eyes were fixated on Ai, who was stretching. “Reg?” “Uh-huh, yeah…” “Dude, she’s your girlfriend, quit staring already.” Kyle looked on at Ai to see she was now doing the splits, with Reggie’s focus directly on her. “Snap out of it!” Kyle yelled, slapping Reggie. “Um...Honey, you know I can do this, but...can you help me up now?” Reggie snapped out of his trance and walked over to Ai, helping her off her feet. “Okay, now I can spar with Re-” “Actually, no Kyle.” The whole room became silent as Tony walked in, transforming into ModMaster immediately. “Today, you’ll receive training on how to use your USB,” he said, swiping his sword at Kyle. As the blade came towards him, Kyle leapt back and yelled “Mod Access, Log In!” As he leapt back, a black mist surrounded him before a pink data manifestation of Luka Megurine appeared and hugged him. As soon as she kissed his cheek, the black mist evaporated, revealing his armor. The final step was her taking a pair of headphones, applying them to Kyle’s helmet, finishing it as his visor turned bright blue. “Come at me, Kyle!” Tony said, holding his arms out wide. “Hehe...Get him, LukaRoid.” “Eh?” To Tony’s surprise, the LukaRoid jumped in front of him and kicked him in the stomach. As he fell, LukaRoid grabbed his head and kneed him, sending him flying into the air. Leaping upward, LukaRoid was about to grab onto Tony when his blade was in her face. Hitting her with the back of the handle, LukaRoid slammed into the wall. Landing on the ground, Tony lunged at Kyle, slicing away as Kyle attempted to dodge. When the blade came up above Tony’s head, Kyle dropped his ModPistol and held his hands up. “Kyle, what are you doing?” “Uh...Nothing…” Kyle said, dropping his hands. “Now!” From behind him, LukaRoid leapt up and smacked Tony aside, before picking Kyle up. Bolting away, Kyle laughed. “Haha! Can’t catch me now, To-” “Who can’t catch you?” Kyle quickly turned to see Tony right beside him. Slamming the back of his hand against Kyle’s helmet, Kyle was sent flying as his transformation cancelled. LukaRoid noticed that Kyle was in danger and leapt, catching him. “Kyle, you’ve been regressing. You lack any conviction, you seem lazier than before!” “What are you talking about, Tony?!” “You have been taking things too easy after getting that full body cast off! What you need, is more training so you can start pulling your own weight around here!” “You know what Tony, I may know someone who can help.” “Who?” ____ “So, even Azure has fallen. Victor was unprepared for Violet’s new power and Azure was just reckless. He charged in knowing that there was no chance for him to succeed. But Blake…” “Yes, Jered?” “I believe you can handle your counterpart. If what I remember correctly from what I hacked in the Anon Army’s servers, Blue is currently incapacitated, and Violet is only allowed to use his USB as a last resort. This means, there is no one stopping you from taking out Black. Do you think you're up to it?” “Yes Jered...Viral Access!” Raising his pass, Blake inserted it into his belt. *BLACK. FIREWALL DOWN.* As a black mist surrounded him, a large black tiger with white stripes leapt from it and began to tear him apart into strips of data. As the strips began to flutter and float away, the tiger caught each part in its mouth and spat it back out, revealing a Blank Suit. As it rose it’s hand, the mist and tiger began to converge in the air before combining onto the Blank Suit, creating OnoreBlack’s armor. Turning to his two comrades, Blake saluted them before disappearing into a portal of data. “Do you really think Blake will be alright, Jered?...Jered?” Graham turned to Jered, who was busy eyeing something in a box. “Oh...yes, Graham, I believe he will be.” Shutting the box, Jered placed his hands on Graham’s shoulders. “He should be.” ___ “Move your legs faster Kyle! Move faster!” “Ow, okay Allie, you don’t have to put the megaphone up to my ear!” Kyle was running on a treadmill in Allie’s apartment. Nathan and LukaRoid were sitting on the couch watching. “See, it’s a good thing my girlfriend also works as a personal trainer!” “Then how come you still look like tha-” “Shut up and keep running!” Turning to Nathan, Allie sat next to him and kissed his cheek. “Uh...Nathan...what is that?” “It’s a robot to help Kyle out. Ai built it.” “I see…” Allie got up and walked to the kitchen. “Hey, Nathan, want a drink?” “No babe, I’ll come and get it!” “Nathan, I really mean ‘do you want a drink?’” “Oh...well, I’m coming over there anyway.” After a couple of minutes in the kitchen, the couple came out with energy drinks. “WHAT THE?!” Kyle was on the couch, with LukaRoid in his place on the treadmill. As she picked up speed, the robot ran so fast she broke the treadmill and ran out the wall, leaving her outline etched in it.. Turning to see Allie and Nathan’s shocked faces, Kyle slowly grabbed a drink from Allie’s hand and looked at her. “Do you have any in gra-” Allie immediately balled her hand into a fist and punched Kyle square in the jaw, causing him to go flying through the hole Lukaroid made. “...Uh...babe...we need to pay for that.” “No we’re not, when I punched Kyle, I somehow managed to knock his wallet out of his pocket.” “...I love you so much right now.” ___ Across town, Reggie looked at his phone while remembering what happened the last time he fought at Hyper ModViolet. The raw power, the ferocity, the terror... he knew that if he was ever going to prevent what happened to him as Hyper, he’d need to train to control it. Asking his friends at CPU would be out of the question; he wouldn’t want them to be in harm’s way. “Harm...that’s it!” Reggie quickly dialed the number he was given before and called it. ___ “Dang it...that demon-woman Allie…” Kyle was found by LukaRoid, and was being carried by her to his apartment. “I wish you could talk LukaRoid, it’s odd having this conversation and not being talked back to.” LukaRoid stopped moving and turned her head towards him. “Man...who am I kidding? You’re not Luna...and you’re not the original LukaRoid…It’s not like you can understand me. Can we...just go inside now?” LukaRoid kept staring at him before she nodded, unlocking his door. Looking around his apartment, Kyle let out a hefty sigh. “You know LukaRoid, after moving here, I thought I could escape from how I used to be. But I can’t. The past is precious to me…” Kyle looked towards LukaRoid to see that she had not budged at all, but kept staring at him. “...I guess Ai built you, but couldn’t make you understand what I’m even saying beyond basic commands, huh?...well, I’m gonna take a nap, LukaRoid…” As Kyle laid down on his couch and nodded off to sleep, LukaRoid kept staring at him. Turning her head, she noticed a framed picture on the counter. Picking it up, her optical sensors zoomed in on it. Looking back and forth at the picture and at Kyle, LukaRoid put it back down and walked up to him. ___ Halfway across town, Reggie was waiting in a vacant lot. “So, what is it that you need of me?” Reggie turned to see Harmony, without her armor. “I need you to train me.” “Train you?” “Yes...” Reggie got on his hands and knees. “You’re the only person I know who can do this. Please, teach me your ways!” “Eh?” Harmony looked away, looking a bit flustered. “Re...really, now? You believe me to be suitable to be your trainer?” “Yes ma’am!” “Ve...very well then. Get up and take out your weapon.” Reggie did as he was told and summoned his ModSpinSabre. “I want you to come at me with everything you got, as your human self.” “Are you sure this will work, Harmony?” “Trust me!” Reggie closed his eyes and took a breath, before leaping forward and swinging his blade diagonally. Harmony blocked the blade and held her palm in front of Reggie’s chest. Not even touching it, but pushing forward, she managed to send Reggie flying towards a wall. To her surprise, he managed to turn his legs towards it and kicked, propelling himself towards her. Bringing her sword up, she backed away slowly, not noticing a bump in the pavement. “Whoa!” As she tripped, Reggie stopped himself and caught her. “Are you okay?” Harmony’s face turned a bright red. “Wha...WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE TOUCHING?!” Reggie looked to see where his hand was. “WHOA! I’m sorry, I didn’t me-” Reggie’s fumbling caused him to trip over the same bump and fall onto Harmony. Reggie and Harmony’s eyes both widened- their lips were accidentally pressed against each other. Harmony closed her eyes and pushed her lips against Reggie’s before she opened her eyes again. She brought her head back and raised one of her hands. Pushing Reggie off, she swung her arm, slapping him across the face as she yelled “BAKA!!!” Her slap sent Reggie flying into the wall. Touching her lips, Harmony looked away. “What is going with me...why...ack, Reggie!” Harmony noticed that her slap was too hard; a human shaped hole was in the wall and Reggie was crawling out of it. “That was harsh!” “Well sorry...but hey! You should be apologizing to me!...that was my first kiss...” “What was that?” “Nothing...now, shall we continue?” “Uh sure…” Taking his ModSpinSabre in hand, Reggie swept at Harmony who quickly parried it and thrust her rapier forward. Reggie leapt back and separated his weapon into its base components and opened fire. Harmony simply brought her rapier up and swung downward, cutting Reggie’s fireball in half. “You really are like her…” “Who?” “Ease, your ‘sister.’” “We are not alike at all!” Harmony yelled while swinging rapidly. “Jeez, are all of the members in your family this crazy?!” “No...no, just Ease,” Harmony said, putting her blade away. “Look. I know you want to control that power of yours, but I have no idea how to help. This training shows me you’re strong enough to fight without it.” As she opened up a data portal, Reggie put his weapon back together. “Hey, wait! Please, tell me more about you and Ease! What exactly are you?! Why are you two here?! You both don’t look like something from the Anon Army! Tell me!” Harmony turned towards Reggie with a frown on her face. “I’ll need to tell you that another day...Farewell.” With Harmony disappearing into the portal, Reggie looked at the area around him. Everything was ablaze and broken; walls were slashed, streetlights were bent and melted, and the hole he had crawled out of made the entire building collapse. Reggie stood and suddenly jolted. “GAH!!!! I kissed someone besides Ai!!!” ___ “Ugh...my head...” Kyle got up and realized there was a blanket on him. “Huh?” Turning his head, he noticed LukaRoid, plugged into the wall and shutdown in the corner. “Did she...” Smiling, Kyle walked over to LukaRoid and pet her head. “Thanks, LukaRoid.” Flipping her switch, LukaRoid got up and looked at Kyle. “Ready to head to CPU?” All LukaRoid did was stare as Kyle sighed. “LukaRoid, command code 3: Head to CPU.” LukaRoid looked and nodded, taking Kyle by the hand, as the two walked away from the apartment, OnoreBlack teleported behind the corner. “So they must be heading to their headquarters…excellent…” *What will you do?* OnoreBlack looked down at the blade in his hand. “What do you mean, what will I do?!” *You’ve hesitated in the past. Do it again, and Black will continue to be a nuisance.* “HE WON’T BE! I WILL NOT FAIL! I WILL DEFEAT HIM, AND SUCCEED WHERE VICTOR AND AZURE DIDN’T!” *You do know what Jered is planning, right?* “Planning?” *Nothing...now, follow those two!* ___ “How’s he coming along, Hax?” Ease walked up to Hax, who was on her computer; Viralindas was in a replica of the ModRanger’s recovery pods. “The tech I’ve taken from the DorkRangers is remarkably effective! I’m glad I managed to take this data from the time I made LukaRoid!” “That’s nice and all, but what is Master’s condition?” Sighing, Hax quickly typed into her computer and brought up Viralindas’s vitals. “As you can see, his systems are almost completely recovered, but that mark on his chest definitely won’t close. But soon Ease...soon enough…” ___ Back at the base, the guys had continued their training. Jordan was facing Matt, while Nathan was consoling a somewhat depressed Ai. “Where could my darling be? He told me he was only going to be out for an hour but that was yesterday…” “Ai, I’m sure he’s fine. What did he tell you he was going to do?” “...Buy groceries…” “Well he better come back with a bunch of food for making you worry so much. And if not, I’ll kick his a-” “You’ll kick whose what now?” Nathan turned to see Reggie, clutching one of his arms with scratches on his face. “Honey! Where have you been?!” Ai asked, clutching onto him. “Training... Ai...I’ll tell you about it later. I’m sorry for making you worry.” “Good thing you’re back Reggie. Now all we’re missing is Kyle.” “Right here!” Kyle ran into the room with LukaRoid in tow. “Tony, I’m ready to train again!” “...Okay, but LukaRoid must stay out of the fight.” “Understood. LukaRoid, stand do-” Just as he was about to finish his sentence, Kyle and the others were startled by a large explosion. “What the-” “Hehehehe….so this is where you’ve been hiding!” From a large hole in the wall, OnoreBlack stepped through, sword in hand. “How did he find us?!” “Easy, I followed my foolish counterpart right there. Now, I will get revenge on what happened to my comrades! Violet, Blue, your heads are mine!” “Nathan, Reggie, stand back!” “Jordan! Why do I-” “You’re obviously still injured and Nathan can’t transform right now! Matt, Kyle and I will handle this! Ready guys?!” “Ready!” “Mod Access, Log In!” *RED. ACCESS GRANTED, DOWNLOADING.* *GREEN. ACCESS GRANTED, DOWNLOADING.* *BLACK. ACCESS GRANTED, DOWNLOADING.* “Tony, trust in us that we can handle this. Help Reggie, Nathan and Ai evacuate the employees.” “You’re growing into a fine leader, Jordan...very well! Come on!” As the four of them made their way out, Jordan, Kyle and Matt stared OnoreBlack down. “Four on one, huh?...That won’t make any difference.” “Four?” The three ModRangers all turned their heads to the right to see LukaRoid just standing there. “EH?! LUKAROID?! GET OUT OF HERE?!” LukaRoid just stared back at Kyle and tilted her head. “Argh, Kyle, get her out of here, Matt and I will handle him!” “But-” “GO!” Brandishing his ModCalibur, Jordan charged at OnoreBlack, swinging upward at him. The Onorenger grabbed the blade and punched Jordan’s side, causing him to stagger back. “Hey, he’s not the only one here!” From underneath OnoreBlack’s feet, Matt drilled his way upward, hitting him with an uppercut to the jaw. As the Onorenger staggered back, Jordan regained his footing and pushed his blade forward. “Alright, direct hit!” *THINK AGAIN!* Jordan gasped upon seeing OnoreBlack’s sword was levitating on its own as it knocked his ModCalibur out of his hand. “Hehehe...now!” In a flash of black, OnoreBlack hit all of Jordan’s pressure points, causing him to fall to the floor. “JORDAN!” “You bastard!” Matt pushed his ModGigaDrill towards OnoreBlack only for it to also be blocked by his blade. OnoreBlack then used his arms to knock Matt’s arms back, before hitting him in the chest with his palms. “Gah!” “Matt! LukaRoid, please, get out of here!” “Hehehe...you’re next, Black!” OnoreBlack grabbed his blade and ran towards Kyle, getting ready to strike. “Hey!” OnoreBlack leapt back as a whip-like blade was swung in front of him. From the side, two familiar figures could be seen. “Will, James?!” “Tony warned us that we can’t use this one more time or else it’d be too dangerous...but damn it, I hate doing office work!!!” “Let’s go James!” “Right!” Will as NewsieKnight was the first to leap into action, using his weapon to constrict OnoreBlack. As he rose OnoreBlack into the air, James began opening fire. “There!” “Yeah! We got him!” *GUESS AGAIN FOOLS!* OnoreBlack’s sword flew towards James, slicing through his chest cannon. “What the?!” The blade flew in a circle and swatted Will’s weapon out of his hand, causing OnoreBlack to drop. “Hey! No fair!” “Will, look out!” Before he could react, OnoreBlack grabbed onto his UserBelt and ripped it off before hitting Will in the chest. “WILL!” Charging at OnoreBlack in anger, James punched at the Onorenger only for his fist to be caught. “I’ll be taking this too!” Ripping off his UserBelt, James was then swung towards Will, causing the two to hit a nearby wall. Tossing their belts aside, OnoreBlack turned his attention back on Kyle. “And then there was one.” “No, there’s still another!” Reggie charged in and swung his ModSpinSabre in a reverse grip at OnoreBlack, hitting his belt. “What will that do?” “Create an opening...Fire now, Kyle!” “Right!” Taking his ModPistol and ModBlaster, Kyle blasted OnoreBlack, who for the first time, felt pain. “What...what was that?!” “Just like us...it seems your belt gives you a healing factor...but look what I did!” OnoreBlack looked down at his belt to see that Reggie had left a crack in his belt from where he struck. “Why you!!!” “Mod Access, Log In!” *VIOLET. ACCESS GRANTED, DOWNLOADING.* “Hyper USB, I- Gah!” Reggie clutched at his arm. “Reg! You alright?!” “Damn...still too weak from training, I can’t go Hy-” “Too bad for you then!” OnoreBlack kicked Reggie in his stomach, sending him flying. “Reg!” “Your friends can’t help you at all, Kyle. Are you sure you can handle this by yourself?” Clenching his fist, Kyle looked down. “I mean, it’s not like you’re fighting for anyone yourself, right? I mean, Violet has his girlfriend here, Blue has that redhead...but what about you? You have NOBO-” Before he could even finish, OnoreBlack was sent flying by Kyle’s punch. “You’re right...I have nobody...The first girl I truly loved died...but she told me to keep fighting on...the second girl was created to fight me...but even deep down, I knew she didn’t want to. She hated what the Anon Army made her do…which is why…even though I don’t have anybody now, I still have them here!” Kyle declared pointing at his heart. “You and the rest of your team of assholes may think that those we care about make us weak...but they make us strong! Those people I no longer have...are my strength!” Charging at OnoreBlack, Kyle managed to land another blow on the Onorenger. “Hehehe…Yes...show me that anger!” OnoreBlack slammed the back of his fist on Kyle’s helmet, knocking it off. Just as he was about to hit him again, Kyle caught his fist and headbutted the Onorenger. “That won’t work!” OnoreBlack returned the attack, causing Kyle to stagger back. Grasping his wrists, OnoreBlack swung him around and attempted to toss him, only for Kyle to regain his footing and toss him instead. “Things have just gotten interesting! But I don’t like to lose!” Just as he said that, OnoreBlack’s blade flew towards Kyle’s back… ___ “What?!” “Huh?...LukaRoid?” Right behind Kyle, LukaRoid had caught the blade in her hands. “I didn’t command her to do that…” “You didn’t need to Kyle.” Kyle’s eyes widened as LukaRoid’s blank stare became one full of life, as she smiled for the first time. Taking the blade in hand and snapping it in half, she tossed it aside and helped Kyle regain his footing. “Did you miss me?” “Wait...that voice...you’re…” Before he could finish, LukaRoid kissed him. Backing away, she smiled and stared into his eyes. “The day I hacked into the systems, part of my personality was left in there. So when Miss Ai built this body, I put myself into it. I heard your words Kyle...I was just waiting to hear them again.” “LukaRoid…” Hugging her, Kyle closed his eyes and tried to hold back the tears. “You...Bitch!” Suddenly in front of them, OnoreBlack backhanded LukaRoid, causing her to fly to the side. “LukaRoid!” “And you!” Gripping Kyle by his neck, OnoreBlack held him up in the air, tightening his grip. “That blade...it was precious to me! It was part of me! She killed part of me...so I shall kill something important to he- gah!” OnoreBlack dropped Kyle as he was sent flying into a wall by an energy blast. In her hands, LukaRoid held a weapon that looked similar to GoGoV’s Grand Liner. “Kyle, are you okay?!” “Yeah! Huh?” Kyle noticed that she tossed him something and caught it. Suddenly glowing in a bright black light, Kyle immediately knew what it is. “Huh...my USB!” “It’s your passion that helped activate it Kyle! Use it!” “Right! Um….oh! I know! Mega USB! INSTALL!” Taking his USB and inserting it into the side of his belt, the ModBelt announced *PROGRAM: MEGA. INSTALLING.* ___ “...Eh?” Kyle looked at his arms and legs. “Huh? Why didn’t I change?!” “Uh, Kyle…” Reggie, pointed behind Kyle, who immediately gasped in shock. “GAH! LUKAROID!” To his surprise, LukaRoid’s body began to break apart and shift around, suddenly coming all together in the form of a large cannon. “Why...why?!” “Kyle! Don’t despair!” “Eh? LukaRoid, you can still talk as that?” “Yes, now, use me!” “Uh…” “Grip the handle of that weapon I was using earlier and hold it up into the air!” Kyle ran to her side and grabbed the weapon and did what he was told. Suddenly, LukaRoid flew into the air and landed on the handle. “Whoa, whoa!” Suddenly, Kyle fell down, slamming the cannon onto the ground. “Kyle, are you alright?!” “Yeah...too...heavy…” “Kyle, insert your ModPass in my weapon!” “Okay...hold on…ow...my hand…” Placing his ModPass into the weapon, it suddenly separated into new pieces. The pieces flew around Kyle as his helmet came up as well, before they all collided onto him, forming new armor. “Alright! This is what I’m talking about!” Picking up LukaRoid, Kyle swung her towards OnoreBlack, sending him flying out of the base. Now in the same vacant lot Reggie was in earlier, Kyle and OnoreBlack stared each other down. “I christen thee, the MegaLukaCannon!” “Kyle, pay attention, your target is getting way.” “Huh?” “No...I can’t die here...I can’t die here...I can’t die here!” “What? Now he’s running?” “Kyle, perhaps this is the best time to finish him off.” “Right!” Taking his ModPass and inserting it into a slot on her side, LukaRoid’s eyes began to glow in a rainbow of colors. Aiming her at the running OnoreBlack, Kyle pulled the trigger, unleashing a beam blast that corresponded to the ModRanger colors. As soon as the beam hit him, OnoreBlack was completely decimated by it. As he watched this happen, Kyle saw something gleaming in blast that disappeared quickly. “Huh...well. I guess it’s all over now.” ___ “Jered! Jered!” Jered was sitting in a chair as Graham came running in. “It’s Blake, he-” “I know Graham.” Jered slammed what he was looking at onto a counter and got out of the chair making his way to him. “Now, I should do what I should’ve done a while back. Graham, I will train you.” “Tra...train me?” Jered placed his hands on Graham’s shoulders and looked at him intensely. “Yes! I’ll train you to be stronger than Azure, more cunning than Victor, and more deadly than Blake! Yes, soon Graham, you will be as strong as me.” Graham blinked in awe and nodded. “I won’t let you down, Jered!” “I know you won’t. Now head outside, we’ll begin training immediately!” “Yes sir!” As Graham ran outside, Jered made his way back to the counter. “Soon...soon enough…” ___ “WOOHOO!!!” “Ugh, Kyle, be quiet!” “HOW CAN I BE?! LUKAROID HAS RETURNED TO ME!” Kyle was hugging LukaRoid tightly. “Ai, I can’t thank you enough!...Ai?” “She and Reggie are talking right no-” ___ *SLAP!* “HOW COULD YOU?!” Ai ran out of CPU with tears in her eyes as Reggie fell to his knees and punched the ground… Next Time On Tokunation Sentai ModRanger! Reggie: Ai… Matt: Damn it...Tony, train me! OnoreGreen: Hehehe...Green is not going to survive this one! Tony: Matt...The answer lies within you. Access 23: Super! The Green Hero’s Memories

Access 23- Super! The Green Hero’s Memories. Matt was sleeping in his bed, twisting and turning. His dream was vivid- he was back in the United Kingdom, he was younger and he had in his hands… “WHA!” Matt bolted upward and breathed heavily. “What...what was that?...That can’t be right...I didn’t...Ugh, whatever, I’ll ask Tony about it tomorrow…” Laying back down, Matt looked at his clock near his bedside to see that it was just 5 minutes before he was to report into CPU. “Well damn...might as well get up the...ow!” Gripping his head in pain, Matt stumbled and fell onto his desk. “Ugh...maybe the medics can help me with this one…” ___ “So, we begin training now, right Jered?!” “Yes Graham, ready yourself.” “Viral Access!” As he held his pass up high, Graham inserted it into his belt. *GREEN. FIREWALL DOWN.* Behind him, a large mecha appeared and snatched him up, forcing him into its gaping maw. Chomping down, its mouth suddenly was cut up and engulfed in flames as Graham fell to the ground, his armor forming. As the mecha attempted to attack him again, Graham grabbed its face and ripped it off, placing it onto his chest as his helmet formed. As OnoreGreen, he held released the restraints on his blades and ran towards Jered, spinning around to do a tornado slash attack. Jered stood there calmly and put one of his hands up in front of him. “Take this!!!” Just as his blade made contact, OnoreGreen was shocked to see that Jered caught the blade, and without flinching, turned into OnoRed and shot at him with his OnoChainRifle. Staggering back, OnoreGreen’s eyes flashed as he teleported behind OnoRed, who simply shot behind him. Flinching, OnoreGreen did the same thing over and over, until he found himself exhausted. “That ability of yours is very useful, Graham,” Jered said, reverting to human form. “I have something for you.” Jered left and came back with a box. Handing it to Graham, he opened it to reveal a strange brick-like object inside. “Jered, what is this?” “The source of my power. I want you to have it. Use this to infect the city, and create us a new army.” “I...I can do that?!” “Your power proves that you can. And don’t worry about the ModRangers, I’m sure your counterpart can’t do anything to stop you. Unlike the others, there is something he is missing from activating his USB. You’re the only one I can count on, you’re the hope for our group! I trust you Graham, do not fail me. ” “Ye...yes, Jered!” In an instant, Graham teleported out of there, leaving Jered standing alone. Grinning, Jered turned towards the door of their lair. “All according to plan…” ___ As he stumbled into CPU, Matt noticed the guys were all training, but noted that Ai was noticeably missing and LukaRoid was sparring with Kyle instead. “Whoa, what happened to him?” “Ai…” Reggie was slumped over a training drone with a dismayed look on his face. “She...she left…she’s not in her apartment…” “Uh…there there?” Matt said, patting Reggie on the back. “Ugh…” Reggie curled into a ball and laid on his side, as Matt slowly backed away. “Hey Tony, I got a question for yo-” Just as he was about to finish, a loud alarm went off in the training room. “Matt, looks like it’s your time to shine. Bring your USB!” “But Tony, you know we haven’t trained ye-” “No time! Go!” As the guys left, Tony turned to see Reggie still on the floor in a ball. “Are you going?” “Ai…” Tony slowly backed away from him and turned the lights off, leaving him on the floor. ___ As the guys ran into the city, they looked around to see odd SpammerBots surrounding them. “Whoa, something is not right here…” The SpammerBots had green wires sticking out of them, and all their body parts covered in a strange alloy. “Hehehe, so you’ve come to play with me, ModRangers!!!...wait, aren’t you missing one?” The team looked around and noticed that Reggie wasn’t there. “Oh well. What do you want, OnoreGreen?!” “You see...Jered has entrusted me with this!” he declared, holding up a strange object. “What is that?!” “Let me show you what this thing can do!” Holding out the item, OnoreGreen touched a nearby car as it suddenly broke apart and reformed into a pair of the same SpammerBots the group encountered earlier. “Hehehe, with this, Jered said I can take over this city!!!” “Guys!” “Mod Access, Log In!” *RED, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING…* *GREEN, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING…* *BLACK, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING…* “Let’s go, freak!” Matt yelled, charging at OnoreGreen with his drill in hand. Punching forward, Matt was taken by surprise as OnoreGreen dissipated and appeared behind him. Taking his scythes out, OnoreGreen was about to slash him when something flashed in Matt’s mind. Turning quickly, Matt countered OnoreGreen, causing him to fall down. “Wha...what was that…” Matt said, gripping his head. “Pay attention Matt!” Matt snapped out of it to see OnoreGreen teleport in front of him again, kicking him into a crowd of the corrupted SpammerBots. “Gah...let...go!” The guys and OnoreGreen were taken by surprise as a burst of light appeared where Matt was. The SpammerBots were sent flying, as Matt stood holding his drill up high. The drill was gathering the energy and light together, and in an instant, Matt punched through one SpammerBot. As it exploded, all the other ones did as well, leaving OnoreGreen alone. “What?!” Collapsing to his knees, Matt was forced back into civilian form as he grasped his head. “Wha...what’s wrong with me?! Ugh...My head!!!” In his mind, Matt saw images that seemed too familiar… ___ “...Matt…wake up! Wake up!” Matt opened his eyes and found himself in CPU’s ER. “Huh...what...what happened?” “You passed out on the battlefield. Jordan had to call in ModAlpha to get us out of there before OnoreGreen could strike. You alright?” “Yeah...ugh!” Gripping his head, more visions were pouring into his mind. Suddenly, Matt found himself engulfed in green energy, knocking the others off their feet. “What...what’s happening to me?!” Matt felt something in his pocket, reaching and pulling it out. His USB was glowing, but in various colors, and still in its nonactivated color. “This energy…” Tony got up and made his way to Matt. “I guess it’s time...to tell you the truth.” “Tr...truth?” “Come with me.” Several minutes later, Tony and Matt were in the training room. As the guys gathered around, Tony turned to them. “This is a private matter. Please leave.” “Ai…” “And take Reggie with you, please.” “Yes sir.” Jordan and Nathan grabbed Reggie and carried him out. Turning to Matt, Tony sighed. “I haven’t been all that honest with you at all Matt. The fact that I had them recruit you wasn’t a mere coincidence. I mean, surely, you have thought about what happened to you when you first joined the team.” Matt sat down and thought. “How I was able to access my own form so quickly?” “Yes...that’s because you actually turned into ModGreen before any of the others did.” “What?!” “You woke up one morning and found yourself in California, despite living in the United Kingdom for years. That’s because about 3 years ago…” ____ A normal neighborhood. An average everyday routine had begun. Standing at the foot of his bed, a young man was putting on his clothes for the day. “Matt! You’re going to be late!” “Oh crap! I’ll be right down mother!” Running down the stairs, Matt encountered his family. “Thanks for letting me spend the night here.” “Well of course dear, now hurry, you’re going to be late for your interview!” “Thanks mother,” he said, giving her a hug. Running out the door, Matt looked at the world around him. “Alright, gotta get this job!” As he was on his way to the office, Matt was caught off-guard by someone running into him. “OW!” “Oh, I’m sorry sir, are you alright?” “Yeah...agh! I’m going to be late!” Grabbing his suitcase, Matt ran past the other man. “Huh...what an energetic fellow...hmm?” Looking down at his own suitcase, the man noticed something. “Job application form...wait...oh no! Young man, come back!” By the time Matt made his way to the company, he was out of breath. Grabbing his suitcase, Matt placed it on the counter and opened it up. “Huh? What’s this?” Reaching in, Matt pulled out an odd belt buckle, with a clear T on it. “A belt buckle? Crap! I must have grabbed his stuff by mistake! I got to go ba- huh?” Matt looked down at the case to see that there was an odd card inside. “Huh? What the?...” Feeling around the belt buckle, Matt found a slot and inserted the card into it. *ERROR* “Error, huh? Oh well, might as well find the gu-” “Matt, you’re up for your interview.” “CRAP!” Walking into the office, Matt found himself being glared at by a group of sharply dressed businessmen. “So, Matthew, is it? What makes you want to work at our company?” “Well sir, I-” “What is that in your hand?” “Huh?” Looking down, Matt jolted up and dropped the belt buckle. “WHA! I can explai-” “Matthew, we have no tolerance for childish workers, this is a strict, mature environment. I’m sorry, but we have no place for you in our company. Leave, now.” “Bu-” “You heard him, out of here! Security!!!” Within seconds, Matt was carried out by security guards and thrown into the street. “And stay out!” “Oh man…” Matt looked down to see that the belt buckle and the case was thrown out with him. “Stupid belt buckle!” ___ “Matt, are you okay? How was the interview?!” “Sorry mom...it didn’t work out.” Matt walked up the stairs and jumped into bed, looking up at his ceiling. “I can’t believe it...how did this happen?” Turning his head, Matt could see his childhood toys and toys he had bought just recently. “I don’t care if they call the way I am ‘immature,’ it’s just who I am...but this belt buckle…” Matt held it above his head and noticed something about it. “Looks like…” Jumping to his computer, Matt quickly loaded an image of a Kamen Rider. “So this thing...if I’m right…” Holding it to his waist, a belt suddenly sprouted from the buckle, locking itself around him. “WHOA!!! So then I just...hen….shin!” Matt said, moving around and posing. “...HENSHIN!...HEN...SHIN!...HENSHINHENSHINHENSHIN!...HENSHIN A GO GO BABY!...Huh? Why isn’t it working?!” Matt grumbled a bit when he noticed something in the suitcase. “A credit card? No, wait!” Feeling around the buckle, Matt found a slot and inserted the card in. “HENSHIN!” ___ “Do you think Matt is doing alright, dear?” “Yes honey, he’s a smart kid, who wouldn’t do anything stup-” BOOM!!! “MATT?!” “Dear, it came from upstairs!” Rushing up the stairs, Matt’s mom and dad arrived at his door. Kicking it down, Matt’s dad rushed in but stopped in his tracks. “What’s wrong hon-” “Hey mom, look, I transformed!” In Matt’s place, was a white suited individual with a green line running down the middle. “Oh, it’s just one of our son’s cosplays.” “Keep it down, alright Matt?” “Bu-” After his parents closed the door, Matt looked into his mirror. “Gross, this is what I look like? I can come up with something better than that!” As he said that, the suit suddenly began to glow bright. “What the?!” Turning to his collection, a scanning light beamed out of his visor, scanning some of his figures. “Hey, what are you-” Suddenly enveloped in a bright green light, Matt turned to the mirror to see that his form had changed. “Whoa!” “Matt, didn’t we tell you to-” “Mom, dad, look! I actually did transform, this isn’t cosplay!” Matt’s mom fainted into her husband’s arms. “Matt, explain, now.” ___ “So you found that belt buckle, and suddenly transformed into...a ‘Cajun Ricer?’” “It’s ‘Kamen Rider,’ dad. But looking at myself, I think I’m more like a ‘Power Ranger,’ or a member of a ‘Super Sentai.’” “You know what this thing is, right?” “Yeah, my chance for pow-” “No, a responsibility.” “Aw dad, not the ‘with great power, comes great responsibility’ speech!” “Well, it does apply here! You found something that we don’t even know the possibilities of! You have to be careful Matt!” Taking the buckle off, Matt returned to normal. “I promise, I won’t use it unless it’s absolutely necessary.” “Okay son. But remember, you obtained that from someone. Sooner or later, he’ll come looking for you.” Matt looked at the buckle and then back at this dad. “I know dad...which is why I’ll take it to him, personally!!!” Sliding it back on, Matt yelled “HENSHIN!” In his form again, Matt burst out the window and ran, leaving his father and mother behind. “Hot-blooded, isn’t he?” “He gets that from your side of the family.” ___ As he leapt from building to building, Matt was having the time of his life. “YAHOO!!! ‘Ello, what’s all this?” Matt looked from the top of the building to see a bunch of police cars surrounding a bank. “A robbery, huh? This looks like a job for...SuperMatt!...No wait, I can do better than that…MattMan!...No...IronMatt? No...Maybe I can just pull a Thor and call myself Matt...now wait, this suit is green...so I guess I’d be the Hulk?” Hearing gunshots, Matt stopped his little pondering session. “Oh yeah, robbery. Don’t worry citizens, here I come!” Leaping from the building, Matt dove forward into the bank and crashed through the windows. “Whoa! Who is this guy?!” “I’m your worst nightmare…” “You look more like a leprechaun to me.” “I’m not a...look, I’m a superhero, alright?!” “Oh yeah? Then take this!” One of the robbers began to open fire on Matt, but to his surprise, the bullets bounced off and hit the ground. “Whoa...I was actually scared for a little bit. But you, glad to know I’m actually bulletproof!” “Then how about knife-proof!” said another robber, thrusting his blade at Matt. “Holy sh...it?” The blade, instead of piercing Matt, bent as it hit his side. “Huh, now I know,” Matt said, gripping the robber by the head and headbutting him. “And then there was one.” “Don’t move, or I’ll shoot one of these hostages!” “You say that, but according to my calculations, you already used up all your bullets.” “No I didn’t!” “Yes you did. You used up 5 on me.” “So, there’s still one left!” “Then why is there a gaping hole in that desk right by you. My theory is is that when I crashed into the window just now, you were so scared shitless that you misfired. Now don’t worry, I’ve heard that’s a common proble-” “Enough!” the robber yelled, jumping at Matt. “Oh no, what will I do?! Oh yeah.” Matt rose a fist and the robber accidentally hit himself on it, falling over. “That was easy.” ___ Several weeks had passed and Matt had been regarded as the hero of his city. “Phew, being a hero is hard work!” “Matt, you know that you still-” “Yeah, I know dad, find the guy who actually owns this thing. I know that the people of our city though...they need me. I can’t let them do-” Just before he could finish, the TV began to sound an alarm. “What the?!” *THIS IS A STATE OF EMERGENCY! UNKNOWN ROBOTIC LIKE LIFEFORMS HAVE APPEARED IN THE TOWN SQUARE. MASKED HERO, WHEREVER YOU ARE, WE NEED YOU!!!* “Da-” “Go son, protect this city!...but...be careful.” Matt turned to his parents and gave them a hug. “I’ll be right back, I promise. HENSHIN!” Transforming, Matt leapt outside before his dad stopped him. “Matt, you may need this!” Walking over to the garage, Matt’s dad removed a tarp. “Whoa!” “I used to ride in my younger days. I think it’s fitting for you. Now go.” “Got it dad, thanks,” Matt said, giving his dad a hug. Hitching himself onto the motorcycle, Matt started it up and rode into the city, noting all the destruction around him. “Huh?” Matt noticed something across the way- the very man who he had taken the belt from was surrounded by the robots. “Hey! Damn, I gotta help him!” Jumping off his motorcycle, Matt ran towards the robots only to watch as a blade pierced one of them. “Wha-” “So you’ve made your way to this country, huh? Damn remnants of the Virusions…” Slicing through the robot, the man noticed Matt across the way. “It’s you! Stay right there!” “Whoa, I didn’t mean to take you be- look out!!!” The man found the robots leaping towards him, but he simply ducked, held his blade in a reverse grip, and spun, slicing their legs off before thrusting his blade up, dicing the robots. “You’ve got some explaining to do. Why didn’t you return that prototype new generation ModBelt to me immediately?” “ModBelt?” “Yes. Now please, hand it over.” Matt looked down and was about to remove it when the man was suddenly hit, causing him to fly into a nearby building and slam into a wall. “Sir!” Matt turned to see what had hit him- a large robotic gorilla-like creature, beating its chest as it turned its attention towards Matt. Raising one hand into the air, it swung downward. Narrowly dodging it, Matt ran over to the man and picked up his sword. “Sorry, gotta borrow this for a minute.” Running towards the monster, Matt swung the blade upward, deflecting the monster’s other fist from coming down on him. Launching himself upward, Matt was about to swing when the monster hit him in his stomach. “Gah! What?! Why did that hu-” Before he could finish, Matt was backhanded into the same wall that the man was hit into. “Hey, are you okay?!” “Yeah...what’s the deal? How come that thing could hurt me?” “It’s because, that thing isn’t like those people you’ve faced so far. Now, hand me my sword, and follow what I do.” Holding out a card just like the one Matt saw earlier, the man held it up high. “Master Access, Log In!” Inserting it into his sword, the man transformed into a form of his own. “What...what are you?” “ModMaster. Now, let’s take him down. Hold your hand out, and envision a weapon.” “A weapon?” Matt closed his eyes and began to picture a weapon when the monster began to charge at the two of the them. “Whoa!” “I’ll hold him off, just keep envisioning your weapon!” the man said, launching himself towards the monster. “Okay...got to do this...got to do this…” “Wah...Mama!” “Huh?!” Matt turned to see that a child was still in the battlefield; his leg was trapped under some debris as several robot surrounded him. “Hey! Leave that kid alone!” Matt rushed towards the robots and rose his fist, intending to punch one of them. As his fist impacted, the robot didn’t budge at all. “Ow! I said, leave him alone!” Matt said, kicking the robot. “OW! Why isn’t this working?!” Matt remembered the man’s words. “A weapon...I need a weapon…” “Help me!” Matt saw that the kid was about to get hit by one of the robots when he leapt at them. “I said leave the kid alone!” Matt yelled, shielding the boy with his body. “Mister! What are you doing?!” “Hey kid, I’m a hero...I have to protect the weak...no matter what cost!” “But you’re getting hurt!” “Hey, this isn’t enough to take me down...you robot bastards...who...the hell...do you think...I am?...” The robots kept beating Matt as he suddenly was engulfed in a green light. “Hey...I said…WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!” Matt yelled, punching into one of the robots. The man, still fighting the monster, noticed the light and turned. “There we go…” ___ “Huh?” Matt looked up to see that in his hand was a large drill, piercing the robot. Suddenly, the drill spun at a high speed, spinning the robot with it. Swinging his arm around, Matt flung the robot into the ones that surrounded him, destroying them all. “So...this is my weapon...alright...time to put it to use!” Jumping in front of the kid, Matt charged towards the monster and punched it, breaking its leg. “GAO!!!” “Great job, now, let’s do this together!” the man said, holding his sword up high. “Right! HA!” Both of them charged at the monster piercing and stabbing it with their weapons. “Now, take your pass and insert it into your drill!” “Pass?...Oh, the card!” Taking it out of his belt, Matt inserted it into his drill. *GREEN, CHARGING.* “Take this...GIGA...DRILL...BREAKER!!!” Matt said, thrusting the drill straight up into the monster’s face. Pushing even harder, the drill completely decimated the monster’s face, causing it to explode. As he walked away from it, Matt was face to face with the man. “You okay?” “Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?” “Good.” Taking his Pass out of his sword, the man’s transformation was canceled. “The name is Tony.” “Nice to meet you Tony, you mind explain-” “You have a lot of potential you know. You could definitely become a hero.” “Hey mister, why is the hero’s belt blinking?” “Huh?...MATT, TAKE THAT OFF RIGHT-” *BOOM* ___ “After I shielded the child from the explosion, I was surprised to see the belt was the only thing damaged, but not you. I then observed your neural patterns and noticed that you were missing a chunk of your memories. To keep your parents safe, I decided to bring you down here, and had two of my employees act as your long lost aunt and uncle. So you see Matt, it was not Jordan who obtained the first New Gen ModBelt...it was you.” Matt looked down at his hands and was breathing heavily. “You mean...all this time…” “Your USB...the reason it has been glowing is because it knows how you really are. Your bravery, sincerity, honesty, and integrity from before you lost your memories have called out to it, and now that you know how you were, all you really need to do is remember.” Matt looked down at his USB and gripped it tight. “I remember everything Tony...I would say I’m sorry I didn’t give the belt back to you that day...but now...I don’t regret it.” Suddenly, Matt’s USB began to glow and became the bright gold that the others had. “Tony! We got trouble!” Jordan said, running into the training room. ___ *Hehehe, are you watching ModGreen?! I am going to infect this city, and turn it into my personal army of SpammerBots! Meet me, alone, at the top of the government building downtown!* The transmission ended with the guys turning to Matt. “Are you going to be alright, Matt?” “Yeah, I’m all better now...it’s time for me...to redeem how I’ve treated you guys these past few months. Now, I’ll be the hero.” ___ As he made his way to the roof, Matt remembered everything that Tony had told him. Facing OnoreGreen, Matt put on his ModBelt and held his pass. “Mod Access, Log In.” *GREEN, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING…* “So let me guess, you’re going to use your USB and take me down huh? Well guess what?! SPAMMERBOTS!” “Heh, perfect, you just gave me the opportunity to let out all my power.” “What?!” “If there is one thing I remember from when I first used the ModBelt...I am pretty hotblooded when I use it! SUPER USB, INSTALL!” *PROGRAM: SUPER. INSTALLING.* Surrounded in a green light, a large mecha appeared behind Matt, Leaping onto its head, Matt stood upon it as it began to attack the SpammerBots one by one. As OnoreGreen watched on, his anger boiled. “Damn you!” Jumping up to where Matt was and teleporting in front of him, he found himself pierced by a drill. “What...what?!” “I’m not done yet,” Matt said, raising a fist. Swinging his fist, Matt punched OnoreGreen straight in the face, causing the Onorenger to crash into the rooftop. “Now, I’m just about ready.” As the mecha continued to attack, Matt found himself engulfed in a green energy aura. “Bring it on, OnoreGreen.” “Curse you!” OnoreGreen yelled, teleporting to all of Matt’s sides. As he attempted to slash at Matt with his scythes, OnoreGreen found all of his attacks deflected by drills that appeared out of nowhere. “Hehe...I know just what to do!” OnoreGreen teleported at a faster rate, faster than Matt’s drills could follow. “Hahahaha...say goodbye ModGreen!” “Goodbye.” From every direction around him, drills sprouted from Matt, shielding him from OnoreGreen’s attack. “What?! How?!” “Didn’t you hear?...I’m a SUPERhero.” The drills launched off, hitting everything around him and revealing a new form. As he jumped down, the mecha began to shrink, before becoming a pair of large sunglasses that attached to his chest. “Super ModGreen.” “Hehe...Super? SUPER?! Seriously, are you that stu-” “WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!” To OnoreGreen’s surprise, Matt was right in front of him, his shoulder up against his chest. Suddenly, a drill formed and pierced OnoreGreen’s armor, knocking him off his feet. “Damn...I seem to have underestimated you...but no worry, I can use this!” OnoreGreen held up the device that Jered had given him earlier. “Huh? Why isn’t it doing anything?!” “Too bad for you.” Matt was right in front of Onoregreen and kicked his foot at him. The kick spun OnoreGreen around as he crashed into a billboard. “Wha...Energy?! Why is there so much energy?!” “Spiral energy...cosmic energy...natural energy...energy is all around us. In every being, there is potential energy...so here, have a taste of my kinetic energy!!!” Matt held his hand out, as another drill formed. The drill began to grow, until it was bigger than the building itself. “You really think that is going to stop me?!” OnoreGreen shouted, drawing both of his scythes. “Bring it on!!!” “Giga…” “You are so-” “Drill…” “Pathetic, to think that-” “Breaker…” “You can defeat-” “MAXIMUM!” “ME!” Launching themselves towards each other, Matt swung the drill back, causing its spin to launch himself quicker. “Hehehe, bad idea, Matt!” OnoreGreen chuckled as he teleported again. Reappearing behind Matt, he was about to slash when the drill shrank. “Huh?!” “You didn’t let me finish. The real name of this attack is-” From every corner of space around him, OnoreGreen was pierced by drills. “W...what?” “The attack’s name is Giga Drill Breaker Maximum...Cage. You thought you were free to do what you want? Well, every villain needs to be thrown into a cell.” “NO!!!” OnoreGreen yelled as the drills spontaneously exploded. Flying down to the roof, Matt cancelled his transformation as the smoke cleared. “That takes care of that. And now...I remember everything,” he said, looking down to his USB. ___ “Ai…” “Reg, snap out of it buddy!” “He’s still down?” Matt asked, walking into the base. “Yeah, he’s been like this since he read that note.” “What note?” Matt walked over to Reggie and noticed a piece of paper in his hand. “Oh, dude, this isn’t the whole note.” “Huh?! It’s not?!” “Yeah, I saw the rest of it on Ai’s desk. She must’ve tripped on her way out. Here, I’ll get it.” After a couple of minutes, Matt ran back into the room with the other part of the note. “See? She didn’t leave you, she said she was sorry she over-reacted and knows you didn’t do it, and that she had to go to see an old friend for a few days. She’ll be back in no time.” Matt looked down at Reggie to see that he had tears in his eyes. “Oh thank god...I thought she left me…Thank you Matt!” Reggie leapt up and hugged Matt, still sobbing. “Okay, geez, I get it man, you thank me, get off!” “So, everything work out alright, Matt?” Tony asked, walking in and smiling. “Yeah...everything worked out fine.” ___ “Ugh...blast him…” OnoreGreen reverted back into Graham and slowly crawled into the Onorenger base. “Jered...help me...I...Jered?” Looking around, Graham noticed a strange light coming from the backroom. “Jered?” Crawling to it, Graham’s eyes widened in terror. “Jered...that’s?!” “Oh Graham, just the person I wanted to see… And I see you’ve brought my device.” “Jered...what gives, you promised this would give me power!” “Ah, but it did, but...it also gives me power.” “What are you ta-” Before he could finish, Graham found Jered had pierced his chest, ripping out a data code. “My..My...Then...those are…” “That’s right… Don’t worry Graham, this is for the greater good.” Graham suddenly evaporated into nothing but dust as Jered gripped the code. “MY GOOD.” Access 23: Super!

Access 24: Admin! The Red Hero's Ambition “Hehehehehe….It’s finally ready… I can finally enact my plan. Prepare yourselves, ModRangers…” ___ It had been a week after the defeat of OnoreGreen. The ModRangers were wondering why they heard nothing of OnoRed; they were sure he would have attacked after what had happened. The group decided to take a break during this time; Nathan and Allie went to visit his parents in Pennsylvania, Matt was working with Jordan in his shop, Kyle suddenly vanished with LukaRoid but reappeared days later, and Reggie and Ai were just in his apartment the whole time, watching movies as they cuddled under a warm blanket. “It’s been so quiet without the guys around…” Ai said, looking sad. “Hey, I’m sure we’ll all gather again baby, it’s not like they aren’t coming back.” At that moment, Reggie felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. “See? Nathan just texted me! They wanna meet up tomorrow!” “Really?! Yay!...I mean...baby, don’t take this the wrong way, but-” “Spending an entire week not doing anything with anyone else but ourselves and not leaving the apartment has been boring?” “Exactly!” “Ah, I love you Ai.” “I love you too Reggie. But seriously, why didn’t we leave your place and go out?” “No real idea. Seems like a lazy thing to do on my part. Oh well, we should rest. Nathan said meet at Jordan’s store bright and early.” “Okay! But...um…” “What?” “Can we ‘sleep’ right now?” “Yeah, I’ll get you your spare clothes and...oh.” “You’re really dense baby,” Ai said, kissing Reggie and shutting off the light. ___ The next day, the others had already gathered before Reggie and Ai made it there. “Yo Reg! Long time no see!” “Nathan, bro, what’s up?! Hey Allie, what are you doing here?” “I hired her.” “Tony?!” Sitting amongst many collectible figures, was the head of the CPU Long Beach Branch, Tony, sipping on some royal milk tea. “She’s going to be aiding in training our staff in combat, just in case all of you have been deployed and are too far from the base when we come under an enemy attack.” “You’re going to work with us?! Yay Allie-chan!” Ai said, grabbing Allie’s hands and jumping up and down. “Yup, so, do I get one of those Pass thingies too?” “A standard UserPass, yes. It allows you to access every room in CPU. Now, shall we all head down?” “Yes sir!” Going down the familiar elevator, the group was greeted by the rest of CPU’s staff; the medics, the programmers, the mechanics, the cooks, the janitors and Will and James, who appeared to be exhausted to the point of collapsing. “Whoa?! What happened to you two?!” “We had to fill paperwork up for Tony this past week.” “He would’ve gotten Ai to do it, but then he said he prefered that she and Reggie have their alone time after what happened when Reggie was depressed. So, now if you excuse me, I’m going to collapse onto the ground.” “And I’m going to collapse on James.” The two did exactly just that as a CPU janitor walked behind them and mopped them away. “Thank you Gus. So, Jordan, Matt, Kyle, Nathan, and Reggie, let’s head to the training room. Ai, do you mind showing Allie around?” “Of course Tony!” Ai said, grabbing Allie’s hand as she ran, taking the red-headed woman with her. As soon as they reached the training room, Tony held out a case. “So Nathan, it’s time for you to be active again.” Opening it up, Tony handed Nathan his repaired ModBelt and ModPass, which looked brand new. “Whoa! Tony, how did you-” “Remember that friend Ai was visiting? She also happened to be a mechanic, so the two of them repaired the ModBelt while they were there. Now, remember, don’t do anything reckless, okay?” “Got it!” “Okay, now our main topic- your USBs. We already know now that they all have a certain trigger; Reggie’s was anger, Nathan’s was friendship, Kyle’s was passion, while Matt’s was his bravery. So that leaves Jordan’s USB. Now, Jordan, we’re going to train.” “Alright, I’ve been waiting for this!” “Good. Now, transform!” “Mod Access, Log In!” *RED, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING…* Surrounding Jordan in a vibrant red light, his black body suit was the first to come on. Suddenly a demon holding a peach circled around him, before the peach and itself turned mechanical and split up into pieces of armor. Circling around him, the armor pieces clashed onto Jordan’s suit as the demon’s horns hit his forehead, creating the rest of his helmet. Holding out one hand, his ModCalibur appeared in its Slashing Mode. Taking a fighting stance, Jordan watched on as Tony transformed as well, armed with his MasterCalibur. “Let’s go.” Lunging forward, Jordan was the first to strike, his sword clashing with Tony’s. “You didn’t let me finish Jordan, you’re not just training against me.” “Huh?” “Matt!” “Super USB, Install!” *PROGRAM: SUPER. INSTALLING.* From behind him, Jordan saw Matt’s green aura mech appear behind him. “You’re training against everyone. Now Matt!” “Sorry about this, Jordan!” Matt swung his arm, causing the mecha to do the same by attacking Jordan. “Whoa! Watch it!” “Kyle!” “Mega USB, Install!” *PROGRAM: MEGA. INSTALLING.* LukaRoid flew towards Jordan and pinned him down as Kyle ran up to her, his armor finishing as she transformed into the Mega LukaCannon. Holding the barrel against Jordan, Kyle was about to pull the trigger when Jordan shifted his ModCalibur into Shooting Mode. Firing at Kyle, it knocked him back as Jordan ran, avoiding Matt’s mech as it continued its onslaught. “Nathan.” “Epic USB, Install!” *PROGRAM: EPIC. INSTALLING.* Turning into Epic ModBlue’s Headder Mode, Nathan flew at Jordan and caught him in his jaws. Reggie saw the opportunity and stood up, only to be blocked by Tony. “Sorry Reggie. We don’t want this experience to end up with everyone hurt. Stay out of the fight. I’ll go in your stead.” “Oh...Okay Tony.” “Let go!” Jordan switched the ModCalibur back into its Slashing Mode and swiped down at Nathan, causing him to drop Jordan. Jordan then switched the ModCalibur back into its Shooting Mode and opened fire at Matt. Matt brought his arms up as the green aura mecha blocked the shots, but then lunged forward, completing his transformation. Summoning drills, he punched forward, making them all fly towards Jordan. One by one, Jordan deflected them and leapt up, slashing Matt and knocking him out of the air. Just as he was about to attack again, Jordan was slashed in the back by Tony. The impact of the slash knocked Jordan out of his transformation and sent him flying into the training mats. “Ow!” “Jordan...Are you really up for this?” Tony asked, holding his hand out. “Huh?” Jordan took Tony’s hand and got up on his feet. “What do you mean, Tony? Of course I a-” “I honestly expected you to be the first one to activate his USB. But look what happened. Jordan, you may see your team as brothers-in-arms, but right now, what they need is not a brother, but a leader.” Tony cancelled his own transformation and walked away. “Jordan, I need you to step up. After Ryan and Max left CPU, I wanted to appoint you as one of their replacements.” “Re-Really, sir?” “But the promise you showed back then is fading. Please, prove that you can be the leader, Jordan.” As he took his leave, the others cancelled their own transformations and walked towards Jordan. “Hey, you don’t really believe him, right?” Nathan said, holding his hand out. Sighing, Jordan walked towards the door, hitting a punching bag on his way out. “Jordan…” ___ Arriving at his house, Jordan threw his coat onto the couch as Kristin heard him from their room. “Honey, you home?” “Ah...yeah, I’m back.” “You alright? You sound like something’s troubling you.” “I...It’s CPU related.” As soon as she heard that, Kristin ran down the stairs and leapt in front of Jordan. “What is it now?! Don’t tell me they’re assigning you to some foreign country! We just moved in, we just got settled i-” “No, it’s not that...Tony just said I’m losing my touches as being the leader of the team…” Jordan sighed and fell back into the couch as he looked up at the ceiling. “You know how the story is, right? Red is the leader. But Tony thinks I’ve been too relaxed and neglecting my duties.” Kristin wrapped her arms around him. “Jordan, you know that it isn’t your fault that you’ve been falling behind the team...wait, I probably worded that incorrectly...you’ve just been...well...they’ve been growing. And that just shows you need to grow too. I mean, don’t give up your collection or anything...I mean try to mature things up. Take a stand, prove to them that you’re the leader. I mean, it’s not your fault that Reggie happens to get the most focus, he’s an actor, he’s... a known attention hog. Or the fact that Nathan and Kyle happened to get their abilities right after that, I mean, Reggie was sort of involved in that...uh…well Matt was just that he stopped being a brat and went up to bat! Okay I did not mean to rhyme there...you know where I’m getting with this, right?” Jordan looked at his wife and kissed her. “Yeah, I do. But now I know what I have to do. Think you can wake up with me early tomorrow so we can go on a run?” “Sure dear,” Kristin said, kissing Jordan. ___ Back at CPU, the other guys looked at each other in silence before Ai spoke. “You guys, it’s not your fault! Tony was just trying to give Jordan some motivation!” “By telling us that we’re the reason why he hasn’t been able to advance as a leader?” Matt said, looking disappointed. “Tony wasn’t telling the truth, telling Jordan that he was everyone’s big brother, I’m older than he is!” “Nathan, that’s not what he meant,” Kyle said, hugging LukaRoid. “Guys, we all just have to remind Jordan that he is our leader!” Reggie said, getting up from his seat. “Maybe stand back from the spotlight then, Reg.” “Huh?” “What Nathan means is, well...since Ai’s shown up, you’ve been kinda...well, arrogant on the battlefield.” “Huh?” “You tend to take charge in battle, like, a lot.” “You guys can’t be serious.” LukaRoid pointed one of her hands at the screen, bringing up footage of all of the previous fights the full team had been in. “Okay...good point…” “Look, honey is not at fault, really, he isn’t!” Ai said, pouting. “It’s alright baby. Look, guys, let’s just promise, we’ll follow Jordan’s choices the next time we head into battle, alright?” Reggie said, holding his hand out. The others nodded and each placed their hands on his. “Right!” “Yeah!” “He is the Red after all.” ___ The next day, the others were training when they heard something hit the door. “Huh?” Nathan walked over and opened it, and from it fell- “JORDAN!” “What happened?!” “Uh…” As he was helped off his feet, the others rushed to him with water and a towel. “I...wanted to go for a run with Kristin today...we went 7 miles...no stopping…” “That’s not good Jordan, here!” Ai said, handing him an energy drink. “Thanks...BLEGH! What is this?” “I made it, is it not good?” “It’s...blegh...a bit bitter.” “So, Jordan, you finally show up,” Tony said, looking at him from across the room. “Yeah. And I want to train again, Tony!” “Heh, very well. Matt, Nathan, Kyle, you know what to-” Before Tony could finish, the alarms in CPU went off, startling the group. “Whoa, wha?” “Everybody, to the command center, quickly!” The guys rushed there, finding Ai at the terminal frantically typing. “Guys, look at the screen!” Turning their attention to the central screen, they saw Jered, walking through the city streets in his human form, slicing through vehicles and strangling civilians. *I hope you’re watching this, Jordan. I’m coming for you next,* Jered said before shooting the camera. “We have to go!” “Jordan.” Tony walked over to him and handed him the blank USB. “Take this. I don’t know how and if you’ll activate it, but take it with you. Team, you are to use your USBs if Jered proves to be too much. Reggie...ONLY if he proves to be too much for everyone else. I know how much of a risk it is, but your powers may be what we need. Head out!” “Yes sir!” As the team left the building, Reggie felt a tug on his sleeve. “Reggie…” It was Ai, looking distraught. “I’ll come back in one piece, I swear!” “I know, just...be careful, okay?” He picked her up in his arms and gave her a kiss. “I will be.” Putting her down, Reggie ran out the doors, leaving Ai looking distressed. ___ Making their way into the city, the group found Jered among his onslaught, sitting on a civilian who was struggling to get out. “You’re all late. It’s not nice to keep me waiting.” “What makes you think we’ll be nice to you at all?” “Cause I have this,” Jered said, holding up the same weapon that he gave Graham. “Wasn’t that-” “Yes, I lent it to Graham to collect data. And he gave it ba- oh, that’s wrong, I took it back. With interest of course.” “Where is he?” “Ha, showing concern over your counterpart? How cute. Well, Matt, what’s left of him is in here.” “What?!” “You killed your own comrade?” “Yes,” Jered said before smiling, snapping the civilian’s neck. “He was moving around too much. Now, how about we get this party started? Viral Access.” *RED. FIREWALL DOWN…* From his belt, a large red and black cybernetic lion appeared. Charging at the ModRangers, they all leapt out of the way before Jered went underneath it, stabbing his arm where its heart would be. Tearing it into pieces, the pieces formed his armor as he took its head, placing it on his own to form his helmet. “Ah, that’s better. Your turn, Jordan.” “Guys!” “Mod Access, Log In!” *RED, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING…* *BLUE, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING…* *VIOLET, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING…* *GREEN, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING…* *BLACK, ACCESS GRANTED. DOWNLOADING…* “So Jordan, I heard you can’t access your USB yet.” “What of it Jered?!” “Mind if I use mine?” “WHAT?!” Jered held up the box weapon as it began to twist and mold into a black and red copy of the USBs, only spiked with a red V on it. “Viral USB, Install.” Plugging the device into the side of his belt, Jered was enveloped in a black and red aura. “Guys, move!” Reggie yelled, pushing his teammates out of the way as the aura began to swirl and move. “Gah!” Reggie screamed, feeling as part of the aura hit his leg. “Reg!” Pulling his friend away, Nathan looked in horror to see that Reggie’s leg was missing part of his armor, with a large gash bleeding. “What the?” Looking back at Jered, the team watched on as the aura hit several vehicles, landmarks and buildings, reducing them to nothing as Jered’s form began to change. With his main extending, Jered reached out, creating manifestations of his former teammates as he ripped off one limb from each of them and attached them to his own, fusing them into his armor. “Call me…ViralRed. Now…let’s begin.” In a flash, Jered was right in front of the group before he punched Nathan in the stomach. “Gah!” The impact of the punch sent Nathan flying into the air, angering Kyle to attack Jered. Jered simply kicked Kyle rapidly but softly before knocking him back as well. “Wha...I can’t move!” “Jordan, help me pick up Reggie, we need to get him out of here!” “No, Matt, you and Jordan run,” Reggie said, standing up. “Reg, your le-” “I’ll fly.” Sprouting his wings, Reggie flew upward and held out his ModSpinner. Aiming at Jered, Reggie fired away before Jered disappeared in a flash of light. “Nice try.” Reggie was shocked to see Jered in front of him, just before he felt the impact of his fist. As Reggie fell to the ground, Matt looked at Jordan. “Jordan, c’mon! There’s gotta be something you can think of to help us win this fight! JORDAN!” “Matt, I know how he’s able to do all of this. The strength, paralyzing Kyle, appearing in front of Reggie instantly...he’s absorbed all of the Onorengers' powers.” “What?!” Landing on his feet, Jered looked at the two of them as Reggie fell behind him. “It’s true, all my teammates’ data is within this USB. Just try and stop me, Jordan.” “My team will not back down from you!” “Well, let’s just see about that. Come face me again tomorrow, right here. I’ll be waiting,” Jered said, before laughing maniacally as he teleported away. “Reggie, Nathan, Kyle, you three okay?” Matt said, leaving Jordan standing among the rubble. Clenching his fist, Jordan slammed it into the debris with all his might, crushing it. ___ “Bring them in quickly, hurry!” Ai said, directing the medics to the ER. Matt and Jordan watched as the others were brought in and the lights turned on. “How did this happen?” Ai asked Jordan with tears in her eyes. “Jered...he used his allies powers against us. Jordan noticed it.” “Jordan, you could tell?” Ai looked at Jordan, who appeared to be in a trance. “Jordan!” “WHOA! Ai, sorry, kinda...spaced out for a minute. I know this might sound crazy...but I was seeing numbers for a minute.” “Numbers?” “Yeah...I know, it sounds weird, but I saw nu-” “Jordan, your pocket is glowing!” “Huh?!” Jordan reached in and pulled out his still blank USB, which was glowing red. “Is it activating?!” As the trio watched on, the USB kept glowing. “This is it!” *BZZZ* The USB stopped glowing and returned to its blank state. “Eh? That’s disappointing…” “Jordan, the same thing happened to me last time, it’s okay...Jordan?” “Matt...I saw numbers again. And blueprints, and-” “Okay...maybe we need to have you brought into the psychiatric office, it’s that wa-” “No, Ai, I mean, while the USB was glowing, I could see how things are put together. I don’t know how to explain it...but I think it’s linked to the power of my USB!” Ai looked at Jordan and could see that he knew what he was saying. “Okay, I believe you Jordan. I’m going to check on honey and the others, and when I get back, I’ll take a look at you and your USB. Matt, mind staying with Jordan?” “Of course, Ai.” As the two men watched her go into the ER, Matt took out his ModPass. “Jordan, try inserting my ModPass into that slot on your USB.” “Why?” “Just try.” Taking the Pass in hand, Jordan did as he requested. The USB began to glow red and green, before a small patch on the USB turned gold. “Whoa!” “I think that you might need our Passes to activate your USB. I mean, I just wanted to see what happens, but it’s apparent that that’s the case.” The USB pushed the Pass back out before declaring *GREEN, RECOGNIZED.* “Thanks Matt.” “No prob, now, I think we should wait for Ai, but before that, I think someone else needs a word with you,” Matt said before leaving quickly. “Hello, Jordan.” “Tony…” Looking away from his commander, Jordan began to tremble. “I-” “Save it. Now, you’re not going to be revoked as leader, given you defeat Jered tomorrow.” “Ye...Yes sir.” “Jordan, I will be honest with you. I push you to your limits, I give you all these commands, because I truly see you as a leader. Prove it to me, okay?” Tony said, holding his hand out. “Yes sir!” Jordan said, taking his hand before shaking it. “Good. The team will be all good to go tomorrow, head home and rest with Kristin. The team will come by to pick you up in the morning.” “But sir, Ai wanted to observe me.” “Observe you?” “Yes...I can’t explain it, but I was able to see numbers...blueprints...and I didn’t tell Ai and Matt, but I could even see inside them too.” “Sōsagan…” “What?” “Jordan, you may be experiencing something that was developed in CPU. The only other person to have that condition...is me. As soon as Ai is done looking at you, head to my office.” ___ After an hour in the lab, Jordan made his way to Tony’s office. “Take a seat.” “Yes sir,” Jordan said, looking at Tony, seeing the stern look in his eyes. “So...what is ‘So-sa-gun?’” “The condition is called Sōsagan, otherwise known as ‘Scanning Eyes.’ It’s power allows one to see the inner workings of anything. It is caused by an immense amount of power being transferred into a person. It could be that your USB, although not activate, is transferring its power into you, causing you to have Sōsagan.” “So what can I do with this power?” “It may be key in helping you defeat Jered. I know I told you to rest, but how about we train those eyes. Watch me, right now.” Tony pressed some buttons on his desk as a training droid appeared in the middle of the room. Taking out his sword, Tony stared it down as it took the form of a monster. “Whoa!” “Jordan, stay calm and watch. Sōsagan!” Tony’s eyes began to glow bright red before becoming black with red crosshairs in the middle. The crosshairs enlarged and then shrank, just as the monster began to approach him. Swinging his sword just once, Tony cut through it with relative ease, catching its core in his hand. “See? This skill allows you to pinpoint where anything is in your surroundings. Now, you try.” Pressing the same buttons, another training droid appeared, taking the form of the same monster. “Go!” “Okay!” Jordan closed his eyes and focused before opening them quickly. “Sōsagan!” In an instant, Jordan’s eyes did the same thing that Tony’s did, only inverted. His black crosshairs shrank and at that moment, Jordan saw red binary surrounding the monster. Noticing the pattern changing at its center, Jordan grabbed Tony’s sword and pierced right through. As the core was forced behind it, Tony smiled and nodded before placing a hand on Jordan’s shoulder. “You’re ready. Now, here’s the plan for your battle tomorrow…” ___ The next day Kyle, Nathan and Reggie were fully healed. “You okay sweetie?” “For the seven hundred and fifty second time, yes Ai. I’m fine. Thanks to the healing pods.” “Okay guys, we’re going to go face Jered now, are you ready?” “Of course Jordan!” “We got your back!” “Let’s do this!” “Yeah! Ai, I’ll be back as soon as possible, okay?”Taking their ModBelts, ModPasses and USBs from the table, the team ran out the door. “ModLiner!” From its portal, ModLiner flew out in front of the team. “We’re going to take your mech, Jordan?” “Yeah, Tony said we should bring it in case we need to make a quick getaway.” “A quick getaway? We’ll kick Jered’s ass!” “Better safe than sorry guys. Let’s go!” “Right!” ___ “They’re late,” Jered said, sitting on a throne made of crushed cars and people. “I’m growing impatient…” Jered picked up one of the bodies lying around as his aura surrounded him, absorbing it into his body. “And that didn’t even make me full...what’s this?” From the sky, Jered could see the ModLiner heading straight towards him. “Just on time,” Jered said, smiling inside his helmet. Holding up a replica of OnoreViolet’s rifle, Jered shot at the mech before it opened up, revealing the team in their ModRanger forms as they flew down from the sky. “Nathan, now!” “Got it! Epic USB, Install!” *PROGRAM: EPIC. INSTALLING…* Turning into Epic ModBlue’s Headder Form, Nathan flew around and caught Jordan and Kyle, who began opening fire on Jered. Reggie sprouted his wings and grabbed Matt, combining his ModGigaDrill with his ModSpinner before they began to fire as well, causing a large explosion. Landing on their feet, the team held their weapons up anticipating Jered’s next move. “Good thing you’re all on alert. Cause I’m still around!” Jered yelled, throwing his aura at the team. As each of them dodged the blasts, Nathan noticed his USB glowing. “Huh? Well, this is new!” Taking it out, Nathan noticed his armor fly off of him, leaving him in his Epic helmet and a blue body suit. Watching his armor combine together into his Headder form, Nathan rose his hand and punched forward, causing it to go flying at Jered. Chomping down on his arm, the armor flung Jered into a nearby building before flying back to Nathan. “...I didn’t know I could do that.” *Nathan! It’s Ai! I added that function in when I repaired your belt!* “Thanks Ai! Alright, let’s do it again.” “Hold up Nathan, let me and LukaRoid handle this!” Kyle said, snapping his fingers. Within seconds, LukaRoid came running into the scene as Kyle held up his USB. “Mega USB, Install! X!” “X?” “Don't tell me you really thought I didn’t train while we didn’t see each other! LukaRoid and I have something new up our sleeves!” Plugging his USB into his ModBelt, it announced: *PROGRAM: MEGA. INSTALLING…* LukaRoid looked at Kyle, before turning into a ball of pink, merging onto the ModBlack chest armor. From his back, four large pink jet-like wings sprouted in an X-formation. On his arms, two gatling guns appeared on his gauntlets as his helmet changed into a dynamic shape. On his boots, jet boosters appeared and ignited, sending him flying towards Jered. Holding up his arms, Kyle opened fire, piercing through Jered’s armor before he spun around, kicking Jered in the stomach. “I call this Mega ModBlack, X! My other form is Mega ModBlack Y! Speaking of which...Mega USB, Install! Y!” Taking out his USB and reinserting it, Kyle reverted back into ModBlack and LukaRoid, who then turned into her cannon form as her weapons formed Mega ModBlack’s armor. “Take this!” Aiming the Mega LukaCannon at Jered, the blast knocked him into a building, causing it to collapse onto him. “Haha! Got ya!” “Think again!” Jered’s aura came out of the rubble and began to lash at the team’s surrounding, absorbing and disintegrating everything. “Watch out guys! Super USB, Install!” *PROGRAM: SUPER. INSTALLING...* Summoning his aura mecha, Matt placed his arms on the ground, causing the mecha to do the same. Although it shielded the team from the aura, the aura mecha itself began to deteriorate. “Damn it, I can’t hold it up much longer!” “Matt, use your drills! I have a plan!” “Okay Jordan, I trust you!” Focusing all of his energy into his palms, Matt slammed them onto the ground, causing several drills to pop up and advance towards Jered. “Keep them moving, but don’t launch them until I say so!... Sōsagan!” Activating his power, Jordan could see through Jered’s aura. “Now! Aim 47 degrees to the left!” Moving his fists, Matt launched the drills and Jered, piercing through the aura and hitting Jered’s left arm. “Impressive Jordan, but thank you for the meal!” Jered held his left arm up, and the aura began to swirl around, taking all of the drills into it. “Damn, Jordan, we really need to fall back! He just keeps absorbing everything we use against him!” “Well, there’s one thing we haven’t tried yet…” The team turned their heads to see Reggie holding up the Hyper USB. “Reg, think about what you’re doing!” “Come on man, there’s gotta be another way!” “It’s the only way! You guys know that while I use this, I can be powerful enough to take him down!...Jordan, when this is over...take me down.” *Reggie, please, don’t do it!* “Sorry Ai...Hyper USB, Install!” “Reg, don’t!” Nathan said, launching his armor at him. But it was too late, Reggie inserted his USB, causing his ModBelt to announce *PROGRAM: HYPER. INSTALLING…* In his Hyper ModViolet form, Reggie let out a violent roar. Turning his attention to Jered, he disappeared in a flash, reappearing right in front of the Onorenger. The two began to fight in the sky, causing it to thunder as they both fired different elemental blasts at one another. “Impressive...I may just have to absorb you next!” “GAO!” Reggie began to glow, and suddenly, Jered found himself surrounded by multiple copies of Hyper ModViolet. One by one, they attacked Jered, only for him to absorb each clone until only Reggie remained. His strength magnified, Jered rose his right arm and smacked Reggie into the ground. Landing on his feet, the Onorenger began to punch him rapidly and violently until he felt some rubble hit his head. “Hey Jered, you want to take a life?...TAKE MINE!” “Jordan!” “Stay back guys!” Jered had no idea what was really on Jordan’s mind- using the Sōsagan, Jordan had noticed something odd going on inside of Reggie; his armor’s binary had numbers other than one and zero. “But before you take it...why don’t you absorb Reggie’s powers?” “Jordan, what are you doing?!” “Are you mad, man?!” “Hehehehe…I like your way of thinking, Jordan! Very well! I’m going to add your ally’s power into my own!” Holding his hand up, Jered summoned his aura, causing it to surround Reggie’s Hyper USB. “I can feel it! The power surging through me! It’s magni- Wha...what’s going on...why?!” Jered’s body began to contort and move on its own before Jered’s visor glowed a bright red. “GAO!!!!” “Thanks Jered, you just helped me get Reggie’s problem out of his system!” “What do you mean Jordan?” “The whole reason Reggie’s been going berserk as Hyper ModViolet is because he had a virus hidden within it. And now it’s in Jered. This isn’t going to be easy guys, cause now it’s time to fight a real monster.” “GAO!!!!” Jered’s form as ViralRed became more feral; his aura began to absorb everything in sight at an alarming rate. Noticing his friend still close to Jered, Nathan launched his armor and had it bring Reggie close to the rest of the team. “Guys, it’s time for me to face him.” “But Jordan, your USB-” “It’s fine. What I’ll need is your ModPasses, Kyle and Nathan. Can you guys also get me Reggie’s?” “...No...Need...Jordan…” Reggie was slowly making his way to his feet, stumbling on his way to Jordan. “Reggie, are you really-” “Yeah, I’m in control now...but this armor feels heavy...Jordan...kick his ass.” Handing their ModPasses to Jordan, the guys nodded to him as he held up his USB. *BLUE, RECOGNIZED.* *BLACK, RECOGNIZED.* *VIOLET, RECOGNIZED.* “And now my own!” *RED, RECOGNIZED. ALL RANGERS!* The USB began to glow bright red and gold, before finally turning into the same color as the other USBs. “It worked!” “It’s cause we trust Jordan as a leader.” “And now it’s time to kick some ass,” Jordan said, making his way to Jered. As Jered growled and snarled at him, Jordan didn’t waver. Raising one fist, he punched the Onorenger in the face, sending him flying. “Admin USB...Install!” *PROGRAM: ADMIN. INSTALLING…* Jordan’s ModRed armor began to break and combine into a large peach shaped form. From a portal, a mechanical beetle came out and flew behind Jordan. Devouring his ModRed armor, the beetle began to glow as it lowered itself onto Jordan, forming his armor. Ripping the head off the beetle, Jordan placed it onto his head, forming his new helmet. “AdminRed,” Jordan said, snapping his fingers. Looking forward, Jordan noticed Jered’s helmet opening its mouth, creating an energy ball from his aura. Launching it at Jordan, the team watched as Jordan rose a hand, summoning a black, red and gold shield out of nowhere, blocking the attack. “AdminClawShield!” “Hey, that looks like mine!” “That’s not all. AdminPistol!” In his free hand, a black and red version of Kyle’s ModPistol appeared. Opening fire, Jordan began to break apart Jered’s armor on his left leg. “GAO!!!” “AdminSpinSabre!” Summoning gold, red and black versions of Reggie’s weapons, Jordan tossed the other two aside and charged, slicing and shooting away at Jered's left arm. “Almost there...AdminGigaDrill!” Tossing his weapons behind him, the black, gold and red version of Matt’s weapon appeared over his right hand. Pushing upward into Jered’s chest, the drill began to spin quickly, breaking through his core. “GAO!!!” “I just damaged your healing factor. Your move.” Jered began to breathe heavily, before raising his right arm. Swinging it downward at Jordan, Jered was stopped by the AdminClawShield, which had flown to Jordan’s side to block the attack. “Nice try.” The AdminPistol manifested in his hand again, allowing Jordan to open fire onto the arm, destroying the armor and causing Jered immense pain. Looking at his counterpart in anger, Jered suddenly disappeared into reappeared in the air, attempting to escape. “Think again. Sōsagan!” Activating his power again, Jordan then pressed onto his USB, causing it to announce *ADMIN CONTROL PANEL.* Suddenly, time stood still around Jordan just as he manifested his own large pair of beetle wings. Flying at Jered, Jordan summoned the AdminGigaDrill once again and broke the armor on his right leg before landing on the ground again. Hitting the USB again, it announce *ADMIN, LOG OUT.* Time started up again, leading Jered to fall back down to the ground as Jordan walked away from the impact. Turning around, Jordan watched as the Onorenger got back on his feet and roared. “Time to end this.” Snapping his fingers, the weapons he summoned all appeared in front of him. Taking them one by one, he combined them into one large sword. Swinging it around and hitting the blade onto the ground, Jordan held up his ModPass. “BanCalibur. Goodbye, Jered.” Inserting the ModPass into his sword, Jordan swung it around and around before swiping the blade at Jered. *INFRACTION LEVEL 5: ADMIN BAN!* From the blade, a manifestation of ModKing in black, red and gold flew towards him and slashed him once before Jordan leapt from his spot, swinging the blade downward, cutting Jered in half. “Ga….gao?” “Yeah, gao.” Kicking the two halves of Jered away, Jordan ran to his team, picked them all up and ran from the explosion. “Jordan...you did it...you finally did it!” Tony said, running to the team with Ai in tow. “Yeah, guess I did.” “And with that, the Onorengers are no longer a threat!” “Hehehehe...hehehehe...hahahahahaha!” The group turned to see the laughter coming from the Viral USB, which was floating in the air, cracking. “Think again, Jordan!” The Viral USB exploded as red, blue, green, black and violet lights flew from it and hit the ground, turning into silhouettes that the team knew all too well. “I...Impossible!” “What? Did you really think we would stay down?” “Hey Matt! Looks like we get to play again!” “...Weak…” “I look forward to our rematch, Violet!” “Now you’re probably wondering how my team and I have returned from the dead. Well, the answer is simple. I planned EVERYTHING from the beginning. While your little NewsieKnight and PhotoBomber were out finding the necessary ingredients for your USBs, I had each member of my team follow them. After creating the Viral USB using my team’s data, I was able to create a tool that would resurrect us if the last of us had fallen. And guess what? You helped that out! And not only that, the Viral USB was catered to allow us to overcome the weaknesses that your USB powers had given us! So now we’re back on an even playing field. So see you next time, Jordan. Cause that is when I’m going to rip out your throat,” Jered said, laughing maniacally as he and his team teleported away. “Looks like the fight isn’t over yet…” Access 24: Admin! The Red Hero’s Ambition END Next Time On Tokunation Sentai ModRanger: Ai: B...B....BAKA!!! Reggie: Look guys, today is a very important day, I gotta make this special. ???: Hahaha, do you really think that you can out-cute me? Girly, you’re sorely mistaken! Ai: Guest Access! Enter!

Access 25: A-A-Ai-dol? Ai’s Idol Debut! “Funya...” Ai yawned and looked around. “Oh that’s right...I came home to my apartment last night,” she said to the panda Reggie had given her. Giving it a big hug, she turned to look at her nightstand, noticing a picture in a heart shaped frame. “Good morning, darling!” she said, grabbing the picture and kissing it. “Good morning baby.” “...Eh?” In her bedroom doorway was Reggie, holding a bouquet of flowers. “...You saw?” “Right from where you went ‘funya,’” Reggie said, smiling. “Ba....BAKA!!!!” Reggie rushed out the doorway when Ai started chucking random objects at him. “Baby, what’s wrong?!” “I don’t want you to see me like this!” “Baby, you’ve stayed over at my apartment almost every night now. I think I’ve seen enough,” he said chuckling. “U...URUSAI!!!” Ai said, slamming the door. “Baby, come on. Look, I’m sorry I came into your apartment, I just wanted to make today special.” “Re...really?” “Yes. Now, open the door. Please.” Ai did just that, pulling down on Reggie’s shirt, kissing him. As their lips parted, Ai hugged him. “I’m sorry...” “It’s okay baby, you just didn’t want me to see you like this. But I know you, you know that.” “I do,” she said smiling. “And I’ve seen you when you wake up.” “I know.” “Although, that lacy nightgown is new.” “B...B....BAKA!!!” ___ “Reg, where’s Ai?” “And why do you have those marks on your face?” Jordan, Nathan, Kyle, Matt, Will and James were sitting at a table in Red Robin when Reggie came up to them. “She’ll be a little late...kinda got into an argument...” “Really? That mark on your neck suggests otherwise,” Nathan said smirking. “That’s a bruise. She chucked one of her dance trophies at me.” “Ouch...” “Look guys, today is a very important day, I gotta make this special.” “Got it!” “No prob!” “Will, James, you guys got the camera?” “Of course bud!” “You still owe us, but yeah, we got it.” Reggie reached over and grabbed the camera. “Alright, it’s perfect. I’m gonna go find Ai now, she should be here in the mall.” As he began to walk away, Nathan and Kyle got up. “Hold up Reg!” “We’ll go with ya!” As the three walked around the mall, Kyle wrapped his arm around Reggie. “So Reg, what are we going to get her?” “Well, I need you two to get the dessert. She’s supposed to meet us soon.” “Sure! Wait...where’s Nathan?” From around the corner, the two of them heard music. Familiar music. Music that they knew their friend would like. “Hey…” “They wouldn’t play this kind of music in an American mall. Let’s go!” Running to the sound of the music, they found a large crowd of people around the stage cheering, and right at the front was Nathan. “Hey, aren’t those-” “Spammerbots!” On the stage was a group of Spammerbots playing instruments and in the middle was a partially cybernetic girl dancing around in an idol outfit. “Miina! Hello! I am Idoleria, your favorite Anon Idol! Please support my show! Now, ‘Yorokobi No Uta,’ as requested by the gentleman up front!” “Yes!!!! CANDERIELLA-SAMA!!!!” “Nathan, snap out of it bud!” “Ara? How mean! Everyone, those two are trying to stop your cute little princess’s concert!” The crowd turned immediately towards Reggie and Kyle, all with angry faces and balled fists. “It will make your princess happy if you beat them up!” Giving the crowd big puppy dog eyes, she looked at them with trembling lips and tears in her eyes. “Onegai?” “Get them for Idoleria-chan!” The crowd started charging at Reggie and Kyle, only for the two of them to duck and dodge their attacks. “Kyle, what do we do?” “You’re asking me?! You’re the one who comes up with the plans!” “But you’re the guy who knows idols, think of something!” “Wait, I know! LukaRoid!” In an instant, the robot appeared, and defended Kyle. “What is it, darling?” “...Darling?” “Hehe...oh, now’s not the time! LukaRoid, sing one of your songs! Maybe it’ll break them from their trance.” “I don’t think so! The princess will stop you!” Idoleria yelled out, leaping from the stage. Taking her microphone, she began to swing it around at LukaRoid, who blocked each attack. “Princess? But you are male.” The crowd minus Nathan stopped their rampage and all turned to Idoleria. “...EHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!?” “Wha-wha-wha-wha…That is false information, Idoleria is a super-kawaii princess-desu!” “That’s not what I see with my Xray vision.” “That only makes her cuter!” Nathan yelled out loud. “...Well, at least that one is still under my spell…” “Mister Nathan, snap out of it! Now, hear my song!” LukaRoid opened her mouth and the notes flew right out of her, irritating Idoleria. “Oh no you don’t!” Aiming her microphone at LukaRoid, Idoleria pressed a button that launched a beam at the android’s face. In mere seconds, LukaRoid was completely silent, despite the fact that her mouth was still moving. Realizing that no sound was coming out, LukaRoid started to panic before Kyle held her. “What did you do?!” “I stole her voice! It’s right here in my microphone now!” “Well, I’ll just take it back! Mod Access, Log I-” “Too slow!” Idoleria pointed her microphone at Kyle and the process was repeated. “Eh? Nani? Nani? Honey, what’s going on?” “Ai!” The young Japanese woman had stumbled upon the scene, and upon seeing the crowd, noticed Idoleria and the now mute Kyle and LukaRoid. “Did that boy do this to everybody?” “Bo-bo-boy?! And damn it, you have a really cute voice! Only one of us can be cute here! I’m taking your voice next!” Aiming at Ai, Idoleria pressed the button just as Reggie pushed her out of the way. “Honey!” Hit by the beam, Reggie fell to the ground as the others arrived. “Ai, what happened?!” “That boy, he stole honey’s voice! As well as Kyle’s and LukaRoid’s!” “Idoleria is not a boy! Idoleria is a princess! Damn it, damn it, damn it!” “...Nathan, get over here!” Matt yelled, grabbing his teammate and slapping him several times. “Huh, what happened?” “That little...whatever...stole our teammates’ voices! We gotta kick ass!” “But Idoleria is so cute…” “Now!” “Right! Okay, fine, don’t hit me! Mod Access, Log I-” “Kyaa! No...Nathan, pwease don’t be mean to Idoleria!” Idoleria said, giving Nathan the same big puppy dog eyes. “I won’t ever!” Nathan said, running to her with open arms. “Gotcha!” Idoleria said, smiling, aiming the microphone at Nathan. Hitting him, she turned her attention to the other guys and pressed a button on her microphone. “Idoleria Beam!” Hitting them all with her blasts, the guys all found themselves mute. “And now for the little bi-” “CHOTTO MATTE!!!” “Eh?” From the back of the mall, a man in a business suit came running towards Ai and Idoleria. “You two, my name is Tsukasa Hibiki, talent agent! I heard you speak and you sing earlier, and I think you two are perfect! I would like to hire one of you!” he announced, holding out two business cards. “Seriously?!” Reggie leapt up and started waving his arms angrily until Ai calmed him down. “Sorry, my boyfriend seems a bit opposed to the idea.” “Hehe, your loss girly, this just means that I’ll be able to get a recording contract and let the world hear my song!” The guys all opened their eyes wide and pushed Ai forward. Reggie stared at them angrily but then nudged her. “You guys want me to go for it?” Everyone frantically nodded as Ai reluctantly took Tsukasa’s card as Idoleria took the other. “Come by in an hour and you two can practice!” Tsukasa said, walking away. “I’ll see you there, girly!” Idoleria said, snapping her fingers and disappearing with the Spammerbots. “...What am I going to do?!” ___ “I see, so the team, Will and James all had their voices stolen.” “Yes, Tony!” “Damn, if only we had Max and Ryan, they could fix things up quickly…And I can’t contact the original team, each of them are busy right now…” “But Tony, what abou- Huh? Hold on, I got a text.” On her phone, Ai saw that the message was from Reggie. “Honey?” *It’ll be alright Ai, you just gotta be strong. I’ll still communicate with you through text until this thing is over.* “Oh baby…It’s not the same! Darn that monster! Oh, I know, I’ll go into my lab and reverse the proce-” “Actually Ai...we let some of our other scientists in there and they caused an explosion. Seems you mislabeled some of your chemicals…” “Oh… Well Tony, what can I do?! I don’t have powers like the others…” “That’s what I would like to talk to you about, Ai.” Pressing a button on his desk, the coffee table in the middle of the room suddenly rose up. Underneath it, a large tube-like shelf popped out. Peering inside, Ai quickly jumped in surprise. “Is that-” “Yes. That is a GuestBelt...Ai?” Tony turned to see the young girl sitting in a corner. “I’m getting demoted…” “Ai! No! It’s just called a GuestBelt because it’s a prototype next generation belt!” “Oh...But why give it to me? Allie just joined up, she can fight better than I can!” “Well, we already had it set to your parameters...so it will only work for you.” “Seriously?!” Ai picked the belt off the shelf and placed it on her waist. Quickly wrapping around her, the center glowed pink as a card materialized in her hand. “That is your GuestPass. Now Ai, are you ready to train with m-” Before he could finish, Tony was interrupted by the sound of Ai’s phone going off. “Huh? Oh, sorry, I have to take this...EH?! NOW?! I HAVE TO BE THERE NOW?! Tony, I’m sorry, I have to head to that studio!” As they watched Ai run out of the room, Tony looked down and sighed. “Please go with her.” ___ “Sorry...I’m...late…” Ai said, out of breath as the rest of the guys were close behind her. “You should be.” “EH?! SKY-SAN?!” The guys all fell in an anime-like comedic fashion as they saw their ally, Sky (aka ModYellow,) with a sweatband on, stretching. “What are you doing here?!” “Isn’t it obvious? I’m here to teach you and that...girl?...how to dance!” “You’re helping them?!” “What? They hired me to do it! Now, go get changed Ai, you can’t practice the dance dressed like that!” Sky said, handing Ai a bag. “You’ll find what you need in there, now go!” “Wah!” Shoving her into a changing room stall, Sky turned to the guys. “So how are you guys?...why the silent treatment?” Reggie took out his phone and began to type so quickly that the guys just stared in awe. “Hmm? A text?...’Our voices have been stolen by the idol monster you are training...’ WAIT, HOW DID YOU GET MY NUMBER?!” Sky yelled. “...’From Ai. She hacked the files and found everyone’s contact info...’ Okay dude, your girlfriend is scary.” “Um...Sky-san?”Hearing her voice, the guys turned. Ai was in a frilly idol outfit- its ribbons were white, the main dress was pink, and her bow was bright red. “The dress is a little tight on my hips…” “That’s just cause you’re fat!” “Eh?! FAT?!” From the room beside her, Idoleria came out, dressed in a similar outfit, only the colors were inversed- black and blue. “So, ready to get your flabby ass whooped?” “FLABBY?!” Ai grabbed for a microphone stand and was about to swing it when the guys held her back. *I’ll have you know that her ass isn’t flabby, it’s nice and fi-* “Not helping, honey!” *Seriously though, it is a nice a-* “AGAIN, NOT HELPING!” “Now now girls, calm down!” “Sky-san! That thing isn’t a girl, it’s a boy!” “IDOLERIA IS NOT A BOY!” Lunging at Ai, the two began to fight, creating a comedic smoke cloud effect as they rolled around on the floor. Nathan walked over to Reggie and held up a cue card he had written on. Reggie immediately held up his phone in front of Nathan. *NOT THE TIME DUDE, NOT THE TIME!* “Okay, okay, break it up!” “Tsukasa-san!” “You two are here to be my cute little idols, right? So come on, learn the choreography and then you two can audition.” “Tsukasa-san, Idoleria should be ineligible, she’s a boy!” “...There’s no way that little cutie can be a boy! Now get dancing!” “Okay girls, follow me! Five, six, seven, eight!” Sky leapt into the air, put his hands on his hips and began to dance. Ai watched nervously, trying to copy the steps, only to see that Idoleria was catching on quickly. “Come on Ai! Pick up the pace!” “Uh...I…” Running up to her, Reggie held his phone up to her face. *You can do it baby! You’re a ballet dancer, right? Use those moves you learned!* “You’re right! Hey Sky, watch this!” Taking her stance, Ai began to move with so much grace that the guys all forgot how clumsy she usually is. “Wow! Those are some sweet moves Ai! You don’t even need to learn the choreography! Idoleria, try copying Ai!” “Grr...Idoleria means, okay!” Taking on the same stance as Ai, Idoleria began to do the same moves only to fall on her face. “Are you okay?” “Idoleria does not need your help!” “Okay girls, great job. Why don’t we move onto the next part of the audition?” “Next part?” Within minutes, the two of them found themselves in front of a large amount of fabric and thread. “You two will need to make an outfit for yourselves! Idols are known to be handy with such things.” “Um...okay!” “Easy.” “And you, boy, no interfering with the girls this time!” *But-* “But nothing! Go ahead ladies, do it!” Taking the thread and needle in hand, Ai tried to carefully put it in. “According to my calculations, I will require at least 256cm of thread for the skirt...the circumference of the needle’s hole is approximately-” “Finished!” “What?!” To her surprise, Idoleria held up a newly made skirt and blouse, embroidered with Anon army symbols. “Wow! That was quick! This round goes to Idoleria!” The two then found themselves in front of a mic and camera. “Um...Tsukasa-san, what test is this?” “Easy, you are going to give a response to a live audience!” “WHAT?!” “Excellent!” “Okay, now, Idoleria, if you had all the money in the world, what would you do?” “Hehe, easy! Idoleria would use it to further her career to allow the whole world to appreciate the cuteness that is Idoleria!” “Okay...Ai, what would you do?” “Well...I wouldn’t need the money. I’ve got everything I want here. I’ve got a great job, my friends and the love of my life right beside me. Sure he can’t speak at the moment, but I hear his words, telling me that he loves me. So I’ll donate the money.” “That...was...perfect! Ai, you pass!” “WHAT?! What about Idoleria?!” “You gave a selfish answer. In the idol world, people love those who are caring. You don’t deserve this job!” “Now wait just one mi-” Just as Idoleria was about to continue, she tripped on a wire, rolling onto her back. “Owie…” “See! I told you she was a boy!” “How did we miss that?” “Wha…EEP! You’ve all seen Idoleria’s terrible secret! Now Idoleria has to get rid of you!” Suddenly, Idoleria’s head began to inflate, destroying the roof and knocking down some of the lights. “Oh no...now you got Idoleria mad! SpammerBots!!!” Coming to her call, the SpammerBots pressed her head in, returning it to normal size. “I’ll take care of you and that meddlesome producer, girlie!” “Not so fast!” “Sky-san!” “You forget, there is a ModRanger still here! Mod Access, Log-” “Nope!” Hitting him with her beam, Sky found himself mute as well. “Ah mou, Sky-san, this is what you get for helping her in the first place! What can I do...what can I...That’s it!” Holding out the GuestPass, the GuestBelt materialized onto her waist. “I can transform and fight!” “I don’t think so! SpammerBots, get her!” “No!!!” The guys immediately leapt into action, attacking some of the SpammerBots and keeping them away from Ai. “Thanks sweetie! Okay...focus…” “Oh no you don’t!” “Guest Access! Enter!” yelled Ai, taking her GuestPass and inserting it into her GuestBelt. As a pink light surrounded her, Ai thought to herself, “What does Reggie like? What do I like? Think!” *GUESTPINK, PANDA ARMS! KAWAII KAIZOKU!*The armor formed around her in an instant, resulting in a pink senshi that looked similar to GokaiPink, but with a panda face on her helmet, two pigtail-like pieces, a green "T" on her chest, and heart shaped cuffs on her gloves and boots. “Um...oh roll call time, right?” Ai asked, turning to Reggie, who just nodded. “Uh...Oh! I got it! I think!” Reggie gestured her to hurry up, as Idoleria approached her. “Reggie is the sweetest and cute- no wait, it has to be something more intimidating... By the power of my...wait, I don’t have a weapon right now...uh...I got it! If you hurt me, my boyfriend will beat you up! GuestPink!” Matt looked on and facepalmed as Idoleria suddenly punched Ai across the room. Running, Reggie caught her and hit the wall. “Reggie! Are you okay?” Reggie held up his phone. *I’m okay, but are you sure you can take this one alone, baby?* “Yes I can, have faith!” *Okay, just imagine a weapon right now, focus. And use it to kick ass!* “Okay sweetie! Focus...focus...must think of the most powerful weapon I could use!” In Ai’s hand, data began to form and materialize. “What?! What are you doing, girlie?!” Ai ran as the weapon finished materializing and attempted to swing it upward. Idoleria cowered but then looked up immediately. Ai, instead of hitting, fell back onto the ground. “Itai... why didn’t it work!” The guys looked on at Ai and noticed what she had thought up- a large hammer. “Ugh...it’s too heavy!” “Hehehe, you’re wide open!” “EEK!!!” Ai dropped the handle of the hammer to the ground and began to run around the studio, as Idoleria chased her. Matt looked at Reggie and held up his phone. *Dude, your girlfriend is embarrassing.* Punching Matt in the shoulder, Reggie attempted to pick up the hammer. The other ModRangers ran up to him and all together they lifted the hammer, and threw it at Idoleria. Hitting Idoleria, the hammer fell to the ground as the "G" on it was slammed. Ai ran to the hammer, and to the amazement of everybody, picked it up. "Wha...Oh, I get it now, the suit’s power is finally here! Prepare yourself, meanie butt!" "Eh?! No, wait!" "KURAE!!!" "KYAAA!!!!" As it hit Idoleria, the room grew silent as various squeaking noises were heard. Idoleria looked down at Ai hitting her over and over again with her hammer. "Why...won’t...it...work!" "Your time is up, shorty. This is my show!" said Idoleria. Ai frantically hit her hammer, when her fist hit the "G" just as she swung it. Idoleria was sent flying into a wall as the guys looked on. Dropping her hammer because of the weight again, Ai fell back. "Why did it work that time? Hmm..." While she sat in thought, Idoleria got up. "Damn...I should steal her voice...if I remember correctly, without her voice, she can’t use her weapons!" Inflating, Idoleria suddenly whistled as SpammerBots came out of a portal. "Grab her!!!" "Kyaa!!!" Ai screamed, as several SpammerBots grabbed her legs. As she was being dragged towards Idoleria, Ai kept hitting her hammer hoping whatever happened before would happen again. "Work! Onegai! Work!" "Hahaha, as soon as I steal your voice, there will be no one to stop me!" "No!!!" Reggie jolted up and ran towards them. Kicking Idoleria aside, Reggie helped Ai onto her feet. *You can do this, baby. I believe in you.* "Oh Reggie, if I didn’t have this helmet on, I would kiss you...maybe later then," Ai said. Taking her hammer in hand, Ai ran towards Idoleria. Suddenly, her body jerked and she fell back. "Itai...what happened?" Looking up, Ai saw that her hammer got stuck on a lighting fixture. "Oh come on!" Pulling down on it, the G was hit by a light, causing the hammer to become heavy again as it dropped onto Ai’s head. Running over to her, Reggie picked Ai up. "Uh...I don’t wanna go to school today, daddy..." Reggie held her up and his phone. *I wish there was some way I could help you...* Shaking her head, Ai looked at Reggie’s phone and then jolted up. "I got it! Reggie, get my purse!" "There’s no time for you to put your makeup on, girly!" "Grab my phone, and toss it to me! Then, put on your ModBelt and insert your ModPass!" Reggie wasn’t sure what she was talking about, but did what he was told. After watching Ai fumble with the phone, she held it up high and turned up the volume. "MOD ACCESS, LOG IN!!!" Reggie suddenly transformed into ModViolet, and looked at Ai. With the guys all looking at her, Ai shyly turned away. "I...recorded you saying it, okay?! I just thought it was so cool that you said it...that I saved it as my ringto-" Reggie just hugged Ai and drew his weapon. "Wait sweetie, let me handle this." Ai stood in front of him, spun around and suddenly did motions that everybody knew. "I am his love, he is my hero! ModViolet!" Ai announced, with her arms spread in front of Reggie. "Let’s do this, honey!" (Listen to this along with the battle [music starts 0:11]: ) Reggie grabbed Ai’s hammer and hit the "G." *See Ai? The G apparently can increase or decrease the weight of the hammer.* Giving it to her, Reggie ran towards Idoleria with his ModSabre, and slashed at several SpammerBots before shooting at more of them with his ModSpinner. Ai ran along behind him and spun around. "GuestPink Pirouette Kick! GuestPink Cabriole Dodge! GuestPink Pirouette Kick!" Attacking and using various ballet techniques, Ai hit several SpammerBots before she leapt up into the air. Catching her, Reggie pressed the G and swung Ai around quickly, knocking several SpammerBots off their feet. Hitting the G again, Reggie tossed Ai up and slid underneath Idoleria. Ai came down and delivered a heel kick to Idoleria, who reeled in pain as Reggie kicked her from behind. Grabbing onto Ai again, Reggie and her spun around and found themselves in a position similar to a dip when people perform the tango. "Not now baby, we got things to do... throw me at Idoleria again!" Reggie did as he was told and threw Ai, who spun around in the air and hit the G just as she made contact with Idoleria, knocking her off her feet. "How...how are you doing better now?!" "It’s love!" Matt snapped his fingers and held up a sign. *That’s the lamest thing I’ve ever heard.* "Matt-san, after this is all over, you’re gonna wish you stayed mute!" Matt quickly hid behind Kyle and Nathan and held up another sign. *Never mind! Forget what I said!* "Now honey, shall we finish this? I have an idea!" Whispering into Reggie’s ear, Ai hit the G and stood with her hammer in hand. "If you think, you’re gonna beat me now, I will make you wish you never faced me!" Inhaling, Idoleria began to pout, her head began to inflate. "I will crush all of you!!!" "Now!" Reggie sprouted his wings and grabbed onto Ai, taking off into the air. Grabbing onto Reggie’s ModSabre, Ai combined it with the base of her hammer, took her GuestPass and inserted it in. *GUEST REGISTERING...AI ACCEPTED!* "Drop me now, sweetie!" Falling from nearly 100 feet, Ai pressed the G on her hammer as she swung it around. With the ModSabre blade facing downward, Ai swung the hammer until a violet colored slash formed. Cutting through Idoleria, the monster stopped growing and was reduced into her normal size. Reggie held up his ModScanner and used it on his ModSpinner, engulfing himself in violet flames as he flew down and attacked Idoleria while punching and kicking her sides. "What the?!" "Kurae, ‘Dropping the BanHammer!!!’" screamed Ai, as the hammer impacted onto Idoleria, slamming her into the ground. Flying down, Reggie snatched up Ai and their weapons as Idoleria stood sparking. "I never...even got...to debut worldwide!!!" Exploding into a sea of flames, the sprinklers in the building poured down. Landing, Reggie hugged Ai as they changed back into their civilian forms. (music stops.) "We did it, baby!" "Reggie! You can talk again!" "Yeah, I can, and guess what, I’ve been meaning to tell you something." Smiling, Reggie kissed Ai and then reached into his pocket, pulling out a small gift. "Happy birthday Ai." Ai stared at the present for a while. "...Oh yeah, it’s my birthday!" Everybody fell over anime style before Reggie got up again. Opening the present, Ai found a necklace in it. "It’s my birthstone!" "Turn it around." Ai did as she was told and saw that there was a small engraving on the back. "I will always love you...Oh Reggie!" Ai pulled him down and kissed him. “There’s more...” Reaching into his other pocket, Reggie pulled out… “My ancestor’s jade comb?” “Yes, you told me how precious it was to your family and how it was damaged in the past...so I had it fixed up and made to look just as new.” “Oh baby!” Pulling down again, Ai kissed Reggie before Tsukasa came up. "Um...can we get back to work, Ai-san?" "HEY, CAN’T YOU SEE I’M KISSING MY BOYFRIEND?!" Trembling in fear, Tsukasa said, "Actually, I don’t think we will be needing your services any more...I’m out of here!" "Wait!" "Hey...you’re gonna listen to my girlfriend sing, whether you like it or not!" After an hour of hearing Ai behind the mic singing various songs, such as the Akibaranger Season Two theme, "Saite," and the ending theme to Beelzebub, "Tsuyogari," Tsukasa put down his headphones and turned to the guys. "She’s got a great voice, but I don’t think she’ll be right for the idol world." "What?! Why?!" "Ai, can you come out here?" "What is it, Tsukasa-san?" "You said your birthday was today, right?" "Why, yes it was!" "I’m afraid that makes you ineligible to be hired as our idol." "What?! I’m too old?!" asked Ai, beginning to tear up. "But, how can you not pick Ai?! Ai, you’re adorable." "But he said I was old!" said Ai, crying. "Aw come on Ai, he just called you old." "That’s easy for you to say Nossan, you ARE old!" said Ai as she cried while being held by Reggie. Nathan walked over to a corner and assumed a fetal position as Kyle attempted to cheer him up. "But Ai, didn’t you just turn 20?" "I’m 21," said Ai, suddenly straight-faced and tear-free. "You’re 21?! Oh dear lord, someone get this girl a beer!" “You’re not getting my girlfriend drunk!...Oh Ai, just forgot, I got something else for you.” “Huh?” Holding out his hand, Reggie opened it in front of Ai. “Is that-” “The key to my apartment? Yeah. Will you move in with me?” “Oh my god…yes! And Tsukasa-san…” “Yes?” Holding out her hammer, Ai hit the ‘G’ just as she swung. “YOU’RE THE OLD ONE!” Ai yelled, knocking the man straight out of the studio’s roof. “Uh…” “What? He won’t sue. I’ve got a great lawyer.” ___ Laying down beside him in bed, Ai looked at Reggie and smiled. “Thanks for the great birthday, darling.” “You’re welcome baby. And just think, tomorrow is the biggest day for gift giving.” “Huh?” “Oh come on, it’s Christmas tomorrow!” “...Oh yeah!” “Well, I gotta go to sleep. Got to pick up my family’s gifts from the places I ordered them from tomorrow. I love you Ai,” he said, kissing her. “Happy birthday.” “Thanks baby, I love you too,” Ai said, kissing him back. As he turned off the lights, Reggie didn’t notice Ai turn away from him in the bed and cover herself in the blanket. As soon as she noted that he fell asleep, Ai said to herself, “CRAP! I FORGOT TO BUY DARLING A GIFT!” Access 25: A-A-Ai-dol? Ai’s Idol Debut! END Christmas AE and Movie follow right after.
