Brave 15: Tsugi! How Cool!
Back in the Frozen Castle, another Cambrima was made, and Chaos was standing before it, holding Dogold's face, while the rest of the Deboss Legion stood there waiting for what would happen next.
"I'm sorry, but would you mind being eaten?" Chaos asked before placing Dogold's face on top of the Cambrima's, but as Dogold's face got stuck there, the rest of Dogold's armor started attaching, making the Knights and Luckyuro gasp at what happened, seeing Dogold reform on top of the Cambrima while laughing.
"No way!" Aigaron gawked.
"Um… major Shocker!" PinkShocker gawked as Dogold was revived, only now he had some fur over his shoulders and the back of his neck as he cackled… but…
"Oi oi! Settle down!" Dogold suddenly responded, his body moving on its own with his lightning sparking like crazy.
"Haratadashi!" Dogold growled as he slashed and destroyed two random Zorima in the room.
"Seriously?!" Aigaron gasped as the others were also equally stunned.
"A Cambrima's body is barely gonna last a month, Boss Chaos," Dogold said in a reminding tone to Chaos after he regained full control over his body.
"When the time comes, we'll simply use another Cambrima," Chaos informed.
"Fantastic…" Dogold muttered sarcastically as Aigaron, Candelilla, and PinkShocker approached their respective towers while Dogold walked away with Chaos.
"Dogold's more of a brute than before. That stings!" Aigaron muttered as he placed his hand near his tower.
"Don't worry, my new Debo Monster will be a real shocker!" PinkShocker informed, doing the same.
"I see… 'sides Aigaron, think of it this way! It's not an angry operation this time. So it's a chance for us to get things done!" Candelilla smiled doing the same as the others, but PinkShocker's pillar was the one that glowed, showing she was chosen.
"She's right, see?" PinkShocker smiled as energy came from her tower before forming a monster next to Luckyuro, and to his surprise, this male monster was covered from head to toe in a variety of bones, ribs, and skulls of various animals while having a jar of sorts held on his left hip, and the face for love almost hidden behind a skull on his chest.
"Hone!" the Debo Monster announced as Luckyuro looked over the monster.
"Eh?! Creepy! Who is this guy?!" Luckyuro gawked as the monster cracked his knuckles.
"Debo Honenukky. As my name implies, I can remove vertebrae from people's spines," the Debo Monster introduced himself.
"And just asking PinkShocker-chan, what will that do for us?" Luckyuro asked.
"Humans and Mobians go head over heels for a pretty face!" PinkShocker answered, handing Candelilla a magazine with an image of a gorgeous looking female Mobian on the cover. "When they're spineless, they'll be quivering like piles of putty in either my hands, or those of one I choose… in this case, Candelilla-chan."
"Eh?! You mean me?!" Candelilla gawked.
"Unlike you, I'm nervous when it comes to showing myself unless it's for a few faces, but you, the Humans and Mobian's will be overjoyed when they fall in love for you. Consider this my way of making up for insulting you before," PinkShocker answered, making Candelilla smile wider than before, if that were even possible.
"Eh, I'm still a fan of your's PinkShocker-chan," Luckyuro admitted.
"Arigatou, Luckyuro-kun," PinkShocker smiled.
Back at the Spirit Base, Torin was pondering what happened earlier when Gold first refused to join the team.
(Cue Flashback)
"Everyone calls me King!" Sonic smiled, holding his hand out to KyoryuGold.
"Whether or not you are deserving of my loyalty… Until I have tested that, I will not take your hand," Gold replied before walking off into the sunset.
(End Flashback)
"What's happened to Tsurugi?" Torin muttered. "She's never acted like that before…"
"And then her turning bad might dampen things worse," a new voice said before Torin turned to see Ian. "But it'll be fine, I can assure that! Tsurugi is a Warrior of the Strong Dragons, too. I'm sure she'll get along with the others in time."
"I guess so Ian…" Torin sighed.
"I wish I could stay to help, but I need to go. I realized there are other Spirit Rangers out there that need to be found with their aibous, Guardian Zyudenryu Beyonsmo and Futabain, not to mention the other Guardians are set to find their aibous, which I need to help locate. But more importantly, I think I'm close to finding Zyudenryu #8," Ian informed, making Torin gasp.
"Bunpachy?!" Torin realized.
"Bye," Ian smiled before snapping his fingers and reverting to spirit form, but he left some parting words as he flew back off. "Say hi to the others for me."
Just when Ian flashed out of sight, Torin felt the breeze of a nearby enemy.
"There's a Debo Monster on the loose!" Torin gasped.
At that moment, there was a group of men, human and Mobian, along with bisexual and homosexual females at this concert of a pink fox with a white muzzle, amber eyes, as well as a white shirt, pale pink skirt, and black boots singing with a strangely familiar voice. Her band mostly had pink instruments, but with her on stage was Akiko and Dai for some reason. And despite the lyrics of this song, the girl singing was smiling the whole time like she was singing about the happiest thing in the world, and the audience cheered for her, seemingly lost in love, making Akiko smile in response. In the crowd, there was one random fox Mobian with blue fur and a black leather jacket on top. He looked over the crowd trying to see what was going on, not noticing Honenukky behind him.
"Hone… Ah, the joint of love… ker-crack!" Honenukky smirked before reaching his hand into the Mobian's back, somehow not causing any blood loss, but it made him jerk in pain before Honenukky grabbed on of the vertebrae in the lower back right out of the fox's body before placing the bone into the jar Honenukky held.
Suddenly, the fox had a goofy smile before removing his leather jacket, revealing a pale pink shirt and he shouted in a love-filled voice, "CANDELILLA-CHAN!"
The fox, whom the crowd referred to as Candelilla, just continued singing loving the attention, but as she finished singing the chorus of her song, six familiar faces dashed in.
"What… is that… terrible noise?!" Star moaned as the Kyoryugers walked in.
"What are you Deboss goons doing now?" Sonic shouted, forcing the concert to end abruptly, with Akiko, Dai, and the Mobian Candelilla looking at the six.
"That's probably just Candelilla in disguise," Akiza figured since she recognized the song.
"And that other girl… I've seen her before," Star informed, as he pulled out his Gaburevolver and blasted the stereos.
"GAH! PinkShocker-chan, Candelilla-sama, they've already got us figured out!" Dai panicked.
"Eh?! NO WAY!" Candelilla whined before she regained her smile. "But, I'm gonna keep smiling!"
"KEEP SMILING!" the audience Candelilla gather cheered before charging at the Kyoryugers.
"Look out!" Akiza gasped as the group dodged the crowd trying to grab and tackle them.
Star however… wasn't able to dodge, due to the massive migraine he got from Candelilla's singing. Thankfully for him, Akiza managed to pull him to safety.
"Star, what's wrong?" Akiza asked as they dodged the humans and Mobians that came after them and the other Kyoryugers.
"Bad… bad headache, here," Star replied, handing her one of his Zyudenshi. "I just need a moment to stop, okay?"
"I'll try," Akiza replied.
"But how will we give him the chance to rest?! We can't fight normal humans and Mobians!" Jet responded.
Akiza glanced down at the Zyudenshi Star loaned her, and then figured a plan.
"King! Let's use the power of the Guardians!" she shouted as Sonic and Takeshi pulled out a couple of Zyudenshi themselves, Sonic Gurumonite's and Takeshi Igeranodon's.
"I see, then let's try these," he smirked as the three prepared the Zyudenshi.
"BRAVE IN!"
=GABURINCHOU! GURU~MONITE!/IGERA~NODON!/STYME~RO!=
Sonic went first, spinning the chamber of his Gaburevolver before firing a blast at a third of the crowd.
=GURUGURU~!=
With the crowd under the power of Gurumonite, Sonic smirked as he just twirled his finger in the air for a bit, the crowd moving their heads to follow it until they felt so dizzy they collapsed to the ground.
Takeshi did what Sonic did and blasted another third of the crowd.
=GERAGERA~!=
"The only artist at this concert is a con artist!" Takeshi quipped with his usual bad puns, and then, crowd started laughing due to Igeranodon's power, but Takeshi made a face that indicated he knew the pun was ridiculously bad and mentally groaning at using it, but sighed as the crowd passed out from laughing so hard. The others simply gave a small groan. "I know, I know! That one was bad, even I thought it was bad, so don't start bashing on me for that one."
Finally, Akiza did what the others did and blasted the last third of the crowd, and when she fired, she gave a small wink.
=MERO-RO~N!=
One could almost see the Debo Monster version of Candelilla in the eyes of the crowd that was hit by Akiza's blast, but the hedgehog just blew a kiss with a smile, which made the crowd forget about Candelilla, the image of her shattering, as they fell for her, the people somehow imagining KyoryuPink before they fainted lovestruck as Candelilla whined at what happened.
Star gave a small giggle, as he almost tried to reach out and take one of the hearts sent by the attack, and then suddenly, his headache vanished.
"I went to a lot of trouble to make those fans!" Candelilla complained as she, Dai, and Akiko reverted to their Deboss forms with Dai becoming Luckyuro and Akiko reverting to PinkShocker as the other band members on the stage transformed into Zorima.
"I don't think you even know how fans work!" Sonic responded as the Kyoryugers gathered up again, the three who used Zyudenshi removing the Guardian ones out of their Gaburevolvers.
"Well, good news Aki-chan, I'm fine now, not sure why I wasn't fine a moment ago, aside from that terrible sound, but I'm good now," Star informed.
"That's good to hear," Akiza smiled.
"Let's go!" Sonic responded as they pulled out their Zyudenshi.
"Brave In!" they shouted inserting the real Zyudenshi in their Gaburevolvers.
=GABURINCHOU! GABUTY~RA!/PARA~SAGAN!/STEGOCHI/ZAKUTO~R!/DRICER~A!/STYMER~O!=
"Kyoryu Change!" they shouted, spinning the barrels and doing the henshin dance as Candelilla, Luckyuro, and even PinkShocker started to mimic the six's movements. "Fire!"
With that, the Kyoryugers were set in suit.
"That's it! You're up, Zorima!" PinkShocker announced as multiple Zorima forced the six outside with the higher-ranking Debo Monsters joined them.
With a few flips, Black started firing at the Zorima with ease while Blue grabbed another in a suplex-like pose.
"Nobuharu Brain Buster!" he shouted, using a judo flip on the Zorima, making it fall through a table!
Since they were near the sea, Green ran down a small dock next to a yacht, slashing at the various Zorima before him.
"You're in the way!" Pink shouted as she kicked more Zorima as well.
Magenta also kicked some, but didn't have as much fighting prowess as the others, so he got onto the ground and did some hip-hop like fighting moves. At the same time, Red had just finished off his set of Zorima before looking down to see where Candelilla, Luckyuro, and PinkShocker were.
"Down here!" he shouted, dropping down from the high ledge and landing safely before punching aside a couple more Zorima and then running over to where the Knights were.
"Over here!" Candelilla waved before suddenly, Honenukky appeared blocking Red's path.
Red tried to fight the monster off, but then the monster grabbed Red's arms before kicking him in the side before shoving Red away from him, making the senshi break some of the tables and chairs. Black jumped in and fired at Honenukky, but the Debo Monster swatted away each blast with PinkShocker smiling at her work while Candelilla and Luckyuro were pleasantly surprised at how effective this monster was, as it even deflected one shot directly back at Black, forcing her back with Red.
"Now how about you?" Honenukky asked as Green came charging up, slashing at the Debo Monster, but he dodged each slash before punching him, launching the senshi through some more random tables.
Pink came flying in with a flying dropkick, but Honenukky caught the foot with one hand, and then forced her with the others.
Magenta crept on over and then yelled "SNEAK ATTACK!" as he charged in Rider Kick style, but was caught and tossed over near Red.
"Star, it's not a sneak attack if you yell it out," Red informed as Blue charged in next.
"Next!" Honenukky taunted as Blue came up, tried to punch the monster, but Honenukky caught the fist, suddenly Blue tried to twist the hands around, and Blue tried his best to grapple Honenukky, but grunted in pain due to how strong Honenukky was with how tight a grip he had and was able to twist Blue arms down to an uncomfortable state.
"Man! This guy sure has a lot of power!" Blue grunted before he was kicked back before the others.
"Nossan, are you okay?!" Pink asked before the group turned back to the villains.
"No way! Debo Honenukky, I didn't know you were so good at fighting!" Candelilla smiled.
"I did! Alrighty, finish those Kyoryubakas off!" PinkShocker shouted.
"Yosha, PinkShocker-sama!" Honenukky nodded, slowly walking forward, but some of the heroes turned back and dodged a random blow as a thrown blade was thrown, forcing the heroes to duck before the blade sent out a HUGE burst of electricity, surprising the monsters.
When the electricity died down, they all looked and saw it was the Zandar Thunder, and seeing this, the Kyoryugers turned around to see…
"Tsurugi!" Red gawked as KyoryuGold indeed arrived as she jumped over the group before firing energy bolts from her Gaburichanger, dealing massive damage to Debo Honenukky, shocking Candelilla, Luckyuro, and even PinkShocker.
"She's a pretty good shot!" Black noted as Gold was suddenly within punching distance of Honenukky, but when he tried to throw a punch, she simply caught the fist and tightened her grip to the point it looked like Honenukky was willing to give up.
"And she might be stronger than me…" Blue gawked, next Gold did a couple swift kicks, which really dealt damage to Honenukky.
"Sugoi!" Pink and Magenta gawked.
Finally, Gold grabbed her Zandar Thunder from the ground and easily slashed at Honenukky, each slash containing immense electrical power.
"Her swordsmanship is incredible…" Green replied, stunned.
"And now this bolt will disappear," PinkShocker shouted.
"Temporary retreat!" Candelilla added.
"Bye bye!" Luckyuro waved as the four Debo Monsters vanished.
"They've escaped…" Gold muttered before turning to look back at the other Kyoryugers, who reverted to their civilian forms, as they walked over to Gold.
"Nice work," Sonic said. "Thanks, Tsurugi. You really are something!"
However, Gold looked at Sonic and he definitely reminded her of someone she knew from the past.
"Milord…" she muttered, Sonic reacting due to him slightly hearing what Gold said, but she turned her head one moment as if thinking of something before turning back to the group with an air of stoicism again. "...you are still far too inexperienced to be worthy of that title. Not only that, but the skills of your retainers are lacking."
"EH?!" Jet and Takeshi gasped.
"Lacking?" Rouge snapped.
"Retainers?!" Akiza gawked.
"What's a retain… retrain…" Star asked struggling to pronounce retainer.
"Retainer? That refers to servants or vassals of a lord, Star," Akiza answered as Gold turned to look at the group again.
"Not one of you can match me, even at your professed specialties! I doubt I will find myself part of your Zyuden Sentai anytime soon," Gold informed before taking a huge leap and flying off.
"That son of a-" Rouge growled before...
"We're no retainers! And we are strong, and I will not let someone like you tell me, that my friends are losers!" Star snapped, as he took out a Deinochaser Zyudenshi.
"Where'd you get that?" Rouge asked.
"Borrowed it from Aki-chan," he replied. "Brave In!"
=GABURINCHOU! DEINOCHASER!=
With a blast, Deino and Chase appeared before Star tossed them the Zyudenshi, and they mini-Guardians combined into the Deinochaser bike, complete with a helmet for Star to use.
"Just for what you said, you're not getting away!" Star growled, putting on the helmet and hopping onto the bike and driving off, leaving most of the others to just sigh about Star's reaction.
"Oh my!" Rouge shrugged with a sigh.
"Go for it Star-kun!" Akiza shouted.
Later, Deino and Chase split off and returned the Zyudenshi to Star before leaving. And so, Star started to look around for Tsurugi.
"What's her problem," Star muttered. "For that matter where'd she go?"
Suddenly he heard a sort of howl that almost sounded like a frustrated roar as well. So, he followed the sound and hid behind a tree, quickly finding Tsurugi in her mobian form, panting as he had a fist against a tree next to her.
"Stupid… stupid… STUPID!" she snapped at herself. "I've clearly gone too far… They no doubt hate me, of such I am sure!"
"Wow… old-fashioned much Goldy?" Star said, getting her attention, and she seemed to glare at him, making Star gulp.
"I've been seen… This cannot stand!" she growled approaching Star, who was now nervous of what Tsurugi would do as she stopped a couple feet away from the young hedgehog.
"Um… hi?" he said nervously as Tsurugi stared at him, and then she… got onto all fours, her face towards the dirt?
"I beg of you, please do not tell the others of this!" Tsurugi responded, indeed begging Star.
"EH?!" Star gawked.
Later, Star had purchased Tsurugi some ice cream and they relaxed at a park, the two sitting on the swings.
"You like the strawberry ice cream?" Star asked.
"Oh yes, this sweet fruit-flavored ice is so delicious!" Tsurugi smiled, starting to move to look at Star, but forgetting her sheathed katana was still on her back, she felt a small tug preventing this, and thus chuckling a bit nervously before sitting back down in the swing, continuing to enjoy her frozen treat. "My thanks, Star-dono."
"Dono?" Star asked confused.
"Oh… you don't know what that means?" Tsurugi asked, a bit confused.
"No."
"Oh… it's a way of showing respect to someone I trust," Tsurugi answered, Star smiling at that.
"Wow. You know, you're actually pretty nice. Hey… what was your sort of coldness earlier?" Star asked.
"Uh… simple cordiality is not enough… Not after being controlled by the enemy, and having attacked them," Tsurugi answered, munching on her ice cream again.
"That's it? We're forgiving, plus, King will forgive you no problem," Star replied.
"Uh… Such is the problem! This King-dono of yours…" Tsurugi started, but then was silent.
"Somethin' wrong?" Star asked her, confused.
"The resemblance of his is uncanny… to… my former lord," Tsurugi answered. "Iwaizumi Moshinosuke… He was one of a few who learned of my true identity as a woman, then accepted a wanderer such as myself, and allowed me to serve him while keeping my identity as a woman a secret. But when Dogold brought the Deboss Legion onto the battlefields of the Sengoku… Torin, another person who kept my secret of being a woman, made a request of Milord."
(Cue Flashback)
Torin stood next to Tsurugi and before Moshinosuke, who looked very much like Sonic except for the red and yellow samurai garbs and the fact that he actually had a mustache on his face.
"For the sake of the world, I ask you to lend me Tsurugi's strength," Torin requested of the lord as he and Tsurugi kneeled before him.
"We joined forces to battle them," Tsurugi of the present continued as in the flashback we see a male-looking KyoryuGold fight the Zorima alongside her fellow vassals and her lord. "But there was a monster who callously kidnapped a child… much younger than yourself..."
The young mobian in question looked like a hedgehog and was taken by a monster with a theme of a Koi and the Japanese holiday of Children's Day, but it also had a vibe of a samurai/shogun.
"MATTE!" Gold shouted chasing after the monster.
"I intended to rescue him, but…" Tsurugi explained as the flashback briefly showed Gold fighting off the monster, but it ran off before Gold reverted to normal and rushed over to check on the child who had fallen down.
"Boy, are you alright?" Tsurugi of the past checked on the young Mobian, but as her lord was fighting the Zorima himself, he looked over and noticed the kid was holding a weapon that the Zorima used before he transformed into a Zorima right before Tsurugi's eyes!
"LOOK OUT!" Moshinosuke shouted, getting in between her retainer and the Zorima, but the Zorima slashed so hard, it fatally wounded the hedgehog, leaving Tsurugi in complete shock as she grabbed him as he fell, and quickly slashed the Zorima away with her Zandar Thunder.
"Milord! Milord!" Tsurugi of the past said in a panic to her lord who collapsed to the ground, but was still alive.
"That kindness… will be a target for your enemies," Moshinosuke grunted informingly of the wolf samurai, who nodded in response, not wanting one of the few people to know her true gender and truly trust her to die. "Do not forget that."
However, with those final words, to Tsurugi's horror, the hedgehog lord passed out, dead right before her. She only cried in horror as Torin joined her, kneeling in a moment of his own silence for the fallen hedgehog.
(End Flashback)
"I realized, after seeing King-dono's face… this time, I must remain strong and enter battle with stoicism," Tsurugi finished.
"You know… kindness isn't a weakness, I'm being kind to you right now. And if I saw a helpless kid in distress, I would help because… I was in a position like that once…" Star sighed as he stood up and walked a small ways from the swings.
"How so?" Tsurugi asked him.
"A Debo Monster killed my mom and dad, it was stopped, but, I never knew my family, I guess, we can kinda find some common ground Tsurugi," Star told her.
"I see…" Tsurugi sighed.
"And because of that… I honestly want to help you," Star added.
"Truly?! Such would be divine aid!" Tsurugi smiled with a sort of bow.
"Leave it to me, Miss Tsurugi," Star smiled.
"No, by all means, you need not be formal with such as I," Tsurugi insisted.
"Eh? What do you mean?" Star asked.
"I realize my way of things is old, so… if my name sounds too formal… feel free to shorten it if you wish," Tsurugi answered.
"How about… Tsugi-chan?" Star offered.
Tsurugi smiled widely at that, but as she stood up, she again forgot about her sword and struggled to get up and the sheathed weapon out of the swing ropes, which made Star chuckle a bit, until Tsurugi came up to Star with a huge smile on her face.
"That manner of address… it's so… futuristic!" Tsurugi, or rather Tsugi-chan, smiled as she grabbed Star's free hand instinctively with a huge smile, making Star smile to see her so happy. "Star-dono, I owe you anything you want."
Star was taken back for a moment, and then noticed something, she had some footwear on, and the gears in his head began to turn. However, Tsurugi saw where his eyes were looking, and then looked down, only to notice she was holding his hand, and this surprised her.
"AH!" Tsugi-chan gasped, dropping to all four and bowing in apology to Star, who was both surprised and annoyed by this action of apology. "Oh, forgive me! Forgive me, Star-dono!"
"Hey, it's fine! Just cut it out with the bowing, okay?!" Star responded.
"Okay…" she said as she got up. "But, I still owe you anything."
"Well… I do have something in mind for you," Star informed.
"Really? What is it?" Tsurugi asked.
"Um… can you... get rid of your footwear? I really... find girls cute when they're completely barefoot," Star informed, a little bit nervously.
"Oh, of course, Star-Dono!" Tsurugi smiled all too gladly as she quickly removed her footwear. "From this day forward, as a Mobian, I vow to never wear anything on my feet ever again!"
Star then glanced down at her barefeet and blushed, "You're nice, thanks for doing that, it makes you… really cute."
"Arigatou-gozaimasu!" Tsurugi smiled in response.
Later that night, with Takeshi, he got out of his car and closed the door, still looking for the Debo Monsters.
"Where'd they get to?!" he asked himself. "The Deboss Legion are on the run… I'd be de boss if I could find them!"
Feeling this was a good pun, he did some air fist pumps with a smile, and then, he heard a giggling nearby before turning to see Akiko.
"You're pretty funny!" she smiled walking over to Takeshi.
"Whoa!" the hedgehog gawked, covering his mouth for a moment. "That's the first time a pretty girl's ever liked one of my jokes!"
"If you weren't an enemy, or married, I might actually consider going out with you, cutie," Akiko smiled.
"Wow… My heart can't be idle around this idol!" Takeshi smiled goofily, forgetting what Luna could potentially say about this, not seeing Akiko point at someone to her left.
"Go for it, Honenukky!" she ordered with a smile.
"You're wide open!" the Debo Monster smirked suddenly getting behind Takeshi and then… "Ker-crack!"
"YAGH!" Takehsi shouted from what Honenukky did next.
"So Starry-kun, you're not crushing on Gold or anything, that jerk," Akiza asked the next day.
"Of course not! You're the only girl I'm interested in," Star answered.
"Even if she goes barefoot?" Akiza inquired.
"Uh… I… I'd admit… she'd be cute… but… you're still more beautiful than anyone else," Star insisted, albeit a bit nervous earlier.
"You being the nervous type always makes me giggle Starry-kun," Akiza giggled, making Star blush in response.
"...And your giggles always make you cuter to me," Star smiled.
"Hey guys!" Sonic waved as Star and Akiza saw Sonic, Rouge, and Jet arrive. "Any luck?"
"Well, I saw some of the people after the mess before I met up with Starry-kun, who's managed to talk with Gold," Akiza told Sonic.
"I see… and how were those people from the concert?"
"They're still acting goofy…" Akiza sighed.
"We probably have to beat that monster to take care of it, just like when we had to take care of Rosevil to get you two and Gold back to normal," Rouge figured.
"So, Star, what happened with Tsurugi, anyway?" Sonic asked.
"Um… well…" Star began nervously, until...
"Let's hear it for Candelilla-chan and Akiko-chan!" a familiar voice exclaimed as the Kyoryugers turned to see Takeshi… but the hedgehog was now in a pink, black, and white outfit with the back having images of PinkShocker and Candelilla, and the hedgehog was also in a goofy pink wig with orange cat ears.
"What?" was the response of some of the team.
"Star… didn't you mention you saw that Akiko before?" Akiza asked.
"Yep, tried to trick me into thinking you wanted someone else," Star replied.
"Oh, Enjoy! Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy!" Takeshi cheered with some goofy poses before he ran over, handed one end of a banner to Rouge before wrapping all five of the others around with it, keeping them from escaping too far. "I'm as happy as this happi to help Candelilla-chan and Akiko-chan!"
"Seriously? A pun while under their control, too?" Rouge groaned.
Star gave an annoyed sigh at this, and then saw Akiko.
"You!" Star said in disgust.
"Oh, isn't this quite the catch?" Akiko giggled. "Honenukky! You're on!"
"Hai! Now allow me to remove your joints of love…" Honenukky started, appearing behind the team and started counting as he seemingly removed all their vertebrae that seemed responsible for keeping them sane and not going love crazy. "1! 2! 3! 4! 5!"
With that, Honenukky walked away as the banner dropped, Akiko giggled as she transformed into PinkShocker, and Candelilla and Luckyuro arrived.
"Now, our Kyoryugers! What do you think of me and Candelilla?" PinkShocker asked as they all looked at the two Deboss Knights.
"Candelilla-chan! Akiko-chan! You're the best!" Sonic, Rouge, Takeshi, and Jet cheered, lovestruck, but Star and Akiza seemed normal, but disgusted by this sudden attitude change.
"Bakas. They've all gone nuts," Star groaned.
"GROSS!" Akiza screamed in disgust. "I'd expect something like this from Rouge, but I don't wanna see Sonic and Jet like this, and especially Nossan, who's already married!"
"Oh my! Two of them are still normal," Candelilla gasped in realization.
"Honenukky! What happened?! I thought you were to make them all like us, even the girls, so why're Pinkie and the Guardian not weak at their knees?!" PinkShocker snapped.
"I'm sorry, PinkShocker-sama. While my skills work with bisexual and homosexual women, as well as most men, I'm not good with heterosexual women, and young teens about 13-14 years old… I don't quite understand why it doesn't work for those starting to understand love, but… for women in general… I'm much too bashful, really," Honenukky answered, putting the vertebrae of the those he plucked out into his jar before rubbing his head bashfully.
"Oh well! We tried," PinkShocker sighed with a shrugged. "Candelilla?"
"Hai, Honenukky, Zorima, just beat them up like normal!" Candelilla ordered as the Zorima charged, making the two run off for a bit.
"Lucky for me you're kinda young and a little nervous around girls," Akiza told Star.
"I guess that works… but we're down four allies who can help," Star responded.
"I don't think we'll getting that much help, wait… do you think you can get in contact with Tsurugi?" Akiza asked.
"Yea, she gave me her Mobuckle number in case we needed to contact each other about important stuff," Star answered.
"Then get a hold of her!" Akiza shouted.
"Okay… getting in contact with Tsugi-chan now!" Star replied.
Back with Tsugi-chan, she was walking around town with a new attire which consisted of a blue tanktop, a gold jacket, with a gold skirt, and on the back of her jacket something kinda resembled Pteragordon's wings. Aside from that, she just got her fur cleaned up, still held her Gaburichanger, and had her Zandar Thunder sheathed to her back along with keeping barefoot as she vowed.
"I feel rather… cute in the new clothing Star-dono has chosen for me!" she smiled before hearing a shamisen beat, which she recognized as her Mobuckle, which she quickly picked up to answer, revealing it to be dark blue and silver instead of the usual yellow.
"Tsugi-chan, you're up! The others need help!" Star shouted into his Mobuckle.
"What'd you say?!" Tsurugi gawked.
Back with Star and Akiza, they needed a small breather.
"Man… we need a distraction… something to get rid of these Zorima for the time being," Star panted.
"Hmm…" Akiza said getting an idea. "You go on ahead, I'll stall the Zorima."
"You sure about that, Aki-chan?" Star asked, a bit nervous.
"Go!" Akiza snapped as Star just nodded and ran off, Akiza staring down the Zorima to take care of them, and then she charged up a small running speed, not going crazy fast, but fast enough to make the Zorima unable to track her.
The Zorima almost got dizzy from this tactic alone, but then… they all fell over, and Akiza then left to catch up with Star, the two quickly arriving in a field of sorts.
"Hone Hone… HONE!" Honenukky shouted, somehow having arrived before the duo and attempting to blast Star and Akiza, the blast somehow missing them, but the force of the explosion made them scream as they were thrusted forward and onto their faces.
"You okay Star?" Akiza asked
"I'm fine," Star answered as they turned to see Honenukky, surrounded by even more Zorima, much to their shock. "But I've had just about enough of this jerk! Ready, Aki-chan?!"
"Hai!" she replied as they pulled out their Zyudenshi.
"Brave In!"
=GABURINCHOU! DRICER~A!/STYMER~O!=
"Get them!" Honenukky ordered as the Zorima charged.
"Kyoryu Change!" they exclaimed, starting the henshin process while fending off the Zorima with ease the entire time. "Fire!"
And so, they transformed into their respective Kyoryuger forms, the blast before they completed it destroying the Zorima. However, just as they were set to fight, Pink and Magenta heard 4 blasts come their way, and the two were quickly knocked to the ground as they turned to see their fellow Kyoryugers, in Mobian form, but all of them wearing goofy attire proclaiming "love" for PinkShocker/Akiko and Candelilla, their Gaburevolvers aimed at the two.
"Hello!" Candelilla waved as she, PinkShocker, and Luckyuro arrived, the lovesick Kyoryugers waving their fans in response of their arrival.
"Pink is Candelilla-chan's and Akiko-chan's trademark color!" Rouge shouted.
"Quit trying to copy her! Or else!" Sonic added as the others repeated what he said.
"Oh my…" both Pink and Magenta moaned annoyed. "C'mon guys! Snap out of it!"
"Not gonna happen! Right, PinkShocker-chan?" Candelilla smiled, the two suddenly acting very much like sisters even if they didn't acknowledge it yet.
"Hai, Candelilla-chan," PinkShocker nodded
"If there should be a fanbase for anyone Pink, it should be Aki-chan over here," Magenta shouted.
"Baka, no one but you seem to be happy with that; look at your friends and see how happy they are!" PinkShocker pointed out.
"SMILE!" the four cheered.
"We're servants of love!" Jet proclaimed, the others and himself repeating this, making Magenta growl.
"We need a new plan… where's Gold?!" Pink groaned annoyed.
"I wish I knew," Magenta groaned.
"Prepare your bones!" Honenukky exclaimed before charging, when suddenly, Tsurugi jumped in, Zandar Thunder sparking and ready before slashing at Honenukky.
"Tsugi-chan!" Magenta shouted as the wolf slashed at Honenukky again, the Debo Monster catching the sword this time, the two then staring at each other.
"Tsugi-chan huh? Positive you're not crushing on her Star?" Pink checked.
"Of course I'm not! She's way older than me, anyway!" Magenta responded, Tsurugi ignoring the age comment. "No offense."
"None taken," she replied, turning her gaze back to Honenukky. "You will not harm my benefactor!"
"Benefactor?" Pink and Magenta said confused.
"Someone who gave me help," Tsurugi responded, not turning her gaze away from Honenukky for a second.
"I was referring to who you're talking about!" Pink shouted.
"Star-dono!"
"Oh my, here we go again! PinkShocker, you're on," Candelilla smiled as the Knight of Love prepared to work her charms, thinking Tsurugi was either a homosexual or bisexual like Rouge… or at least internally hoping so.
"Don't get mad, okay?" PinkShocker smiled, showing in Tsurugi's mind an image of her Mobian form, and seeing it made Tsurugi turn away, not sure how to respond or was merely flustered.
"NO! Be careful!" Magenta shouted.
"Here I go!" Honenukky said as he charged. "Ker-crack!"
"ARGH!" Tsurugi grunted, feeling the monster punch her in the back, but didn't feel the same effects as the others. "Hm?"
Taking advantage of this, she shoved Honenukky off and slashed at him three times, knocking the Debo Monster into the air.
"HONE!" he screamed, landing near the Knight, much to their surprise.
"Don't tell me she likes men! If not, why isn't she weak in the knees?" Candelilla gawked.
"Sorry…" Honenukky muttered.
"What madness is this?" Tsurugi pondered, more than a bit confused as to what was happening.
"Looks like our luck is getting better," Pink noted.
"Hmm… Ah! I get it! You're pretty socially awkward around most people, right, Tsugi-chan?" Magenta responded.
"Now that I recall, my powers do not affect bashful types such as myself," Honenukky admitted as Pink and Magenta figured something of Honenukky's powers with that jar he had.
"That pot! Aki-chan, I bet if you blast the pot, it'll put everyone back to normal!" Magenta figured.
"Okay!" Pink replied as she took aim, but couldn't get a clear shot at first. And then with one shot, the pot was destroyed, causing the pieces of the pot to fall along with the bones collected, surprising the Debo Monsters.
"It's broken!" Luckyuro gawked before the vertebrae flew around and back into where they belong, reverting the lovestruck Kyoryugers to normal as they were confused about what was happening.
"Huh?" Sonic gawked while they were gawking over their current appearances.
"Yes!" Pink and Magenta cheered.
"What a relief…" Tsurugi smiled, but Star recognized she was slipping up and tried to get her attention so Tsurugi wouldn't show her kindness to the other Kyoryugers just yet.
"Tsurugi," Magenta whispered, getting her attention along with a confused glance at first. "Remember, be strict!"
Tsurugi just nodded, took a deep breath, and returned to the stoicism she used earlier as she turned back to the other Kyoryugers.
"That you were unable to come to the aid of a lady and her young boyfriend… Shows you are out of your depth," Tsurugi told the other four Kyoryugers, pointing her Zandar Thunder at them as they pondered her words. "Step back and watch closely."
With that, Tsurugi reached into her pocket to grab her Zyudenshi.
"Brave In!" she exclaimed, inserting the battery into the Gaburichanger.
=GABURINCHOU! PTERAGORDON!=
"Now face my… Kyoryu Change!" Tsurugi shouted before pulling the trigger of her Gaburichanger and dancing around, still holding the trigger before aiming it towards the ground after the spin. "Fire!"
And with that, Tsurugi transformed into KyoryuGold like before.
"Daimei no Yuusha! KyoryuGold Kenzan!" she proclaimed. "Vanquishing evil in heaven's name!"
"... okay?" Sonic said confused, but at the same time liking it as it identified and solidified the fact that Tsurugi was still on their side despite what she said.
"Raiden Arbalest!" Gold shouted as she charged, firing her Gaburichanger, the blasts hitting Debo Honenukky to the point he almost fell, and Gold kept firing even after taking to the air.
"Hone hone!" Honenukky shouted, trying to send blasts of his own at Gold, but it didn't hit her.
"Raiden Soaring Strike!" she shouted next, flying at the Debo Monster, an electrical blast hitting it via her wings as she landed. "Zandar Thunder!"
With the summoning of her weapon, Gold opened her Mobuckle to pluck out her Zyudenshi.
"First Zyudenshi!" she shouted before loading it into her Zandar Thunder. "Loaded!"
=GABURINCHOU!=
She then cocked the blade so it was charged.
=ZAN!=
This sound was spoken each time she slashed at Honenukky.
"Secret technique, Dancing Thunder!" she roared with her slashing before setting up another one. "Second Zyudenshi, loaded!"
=GABURINCHOU!=
With another cock of the blade, she twirled her sword around for her next move.
"Zandar Thunder! Raiden Shockwave!" she shouted before shoving the glowing blade into the ground before her.
=ZANDAR!=
This sent a shockwave of electricity at Honenukky.
"Hone Hone!" he screamed as the Debo Monster was flung in the air before landing on his face.
"Go get her, Zorima!" PinkShocker ordered as the Zorima charged in, but then, Magenta and Pink zoomed up, both of them riding Pink's Deinochaser bike.
"You'll have to go through us first!" Pink shouted as she and Magenta kicked a Zorima that tried to fly through the air right back to the ground. "Star, blast 'em!"
He gave a nod, and spun the chamber on his Gaburevolver.
=MERO-O~N!=
Instead of the usual effects of the Guardian Zyudenshi, Magenta sent out huge energy blasts at the Zorima, defeating a majority of them.
"Deino! Chase! Help us out!" Pink shouted as she and Magenta hopped off, the bike splitting into its components, aiding the Kyoryugers in destroying the remaining Zorima.
"Yosha!" Pink and Magenta cheered as Gold rushed over to the two.
"Well? Do we measure up to your standards, Tsugi-chan?" Magenta asked, Pink deciding to let it slide seeing it now as a casual nickname for Tsurugi.
"Indeed," Gold nodded, holding out a couple of her Zyudenshi for the two of them. "Star-dono, Aki-dono, use these. I have nine of them."
"Right," the two nodded, preparing the Zyudenshi with their Gaburevolvers.
=GABURINCHOU! DRICER~A + PTERAGORDON!/STYMER~O + PTERAGORDON!=
"Third Zyudenshi, loaded!" Gold announced, setting in the third Zyudenshi from her Mobuckle into her Zandar Thunder.
=GABURINCHOU!=
"Lightning Chains!" Gold shouted, connecting stub from her Gaburichanger to the bottom of the hilt of her Zandar Thunder, suddenly sending a blast from it out at Debo Honenukky, causing him to stand stuck in his position while it showed an opening/target for the three to fire their finishers.
"What is that?!" PinkShocker, Candelilla, and Luckyuro gasped in unison as Pink and Magenta spun the chambers of their blasters while Gold cocked her sword.
"Zyuden Brave Finish!" they shouted, Pink and Magenta aiming their blasters at Debo Honenukky while Gold prepared her signature sword attack.
=VAMOLA MUCHA!=
"Raiden Zankou!" Gold announced before the three sent out their attacks.
=Dr-dreee! GORDO~N!/Mero-on! GORDO~N!/ZANDA~R THUNDER~!=
The three attacks filled with the power of lightning went forward and struck with the mighty force of three bolts of thunder. The resulting blasts making Honenukky explode in defeat.
"That's pretty brave, huh?" Magenta smirked.
However, Honenukky was just revived and grown to giant sizes.
"I just gave him a dose!" Luckyuro informed Candelilla and PinkShocker as he ran over with his watering can.
"Brave In!" Gold shouted, activating another Zyudenshi before launching it into the air. "To my side, Pteragordon!"
It wasn't long before Pteragordon was flying by and he chomped on the Zyudenshi.
=GABURINCHOU! PTERAGORDON!=
"Kaminari Henkei!" Gold ordered as she jumped up to the cockpit as Pteragordon transformed into his mecha form.
=PTERAIDEN-OH!=
"Kansei, Pteraiden-Oh!" Gold announced.
"Hey Tsugi-chan, mind if me and Aki-chan help out?" Magenta asked.
"I suppose, but make sure the others are transformed and to call their Zyudenryu, if they can" Gold answered.
"She's already on it!" Magenta answered as Pink rushed over to the others.
"Minna, what are you doing?! Hurry it up!" Pink snapped.
"Oh man, we were totally absorbed in watching her! We need to get in there, guys!" Sonic responded as he and the others removed the ridiculous pink stuff on them before readying their Gaburevolvers and Zyudenshi.
"Kyoryu Change! Fire!"
With all the Kyoryugers transformed, Magenta rushed over to the others.
"Alright, let's have Kyoryuzin Western take the stage," Magenta said.
"No can do, Gabutyra's still too injured!" Red reminded.
"Eh?! Then how'll we help Gold?" Magenta gawked until they heard some roars of the Guardians and turning to see Allomerus, the Zyudenryu Deinochaser, Deinosgrander, and Kentrospiker.
"Hey, don't worry, we'll help!" Aqua shouted.
"Yosh! Okay Aki-chan, let's summon our Zyudenryu and help Gold," Magenta smirked as they pulled out their Zyudenshi. "Brave In!"
"Dricera!"
"Stymero!"
With that, the two Ceratopsian Zyudenryu came rushing forth to help.
"Yosh! Minna! Kamitsuki Gattai!" Yellow and Gold shouted in unison.
=GABURINCHOU! DEINOCHASER!=
=GABURINCHOU! DEINOSGRANDER!=
=GABURINCHOU! KENTROSPIKER!=
=GABURINCHOU! ALLOMER~US!=
=ALLO~RYU~ZIN!=
=GABURINCHOU! DRICER~A!=
=GABURINCHOU! STYMER~O!=
=PTERAIDEN-OH MEGA! YA~HOO!=
"So Gold, you okay with us in here?" Pink asked.
"I am now, seeing as how I trust you two," Gold nodded.
"You're not crushing on Star right? Because he's my boyfriend," Pink informed Gold.
"Eh?! Of course not! He's merely a benefactor, helping me get used to modern times," Gold defended.
"Just checking," Pink said, as Magenta turned.
"We are friends right?" he asked.
"Of course," Gold nodded. "Now let's get started."
With that, Pteraiden-Oh Mega and Alloryuzin prepared to charge at Honenukky. The Debo Monster first charged at Pteraiden-Oh Mega in an attempt to stop it from using it's arms, but then…
"LET GO OF STYMERO!" Magenta snapped, when suddenly Pink made moved, causing Dricera's drill to strike at Honenukky to the point that he was forced off.
"Okay Star, fire away, then let Alloryuzin have a shot!" Pink responded.
"ZYUDEN BUSTER!" Magenta shouted as Stymero fired at Honenukky, forcing it back a bit before Pteraiden-Oh Mega moved, allowing Alloryuzin to strike.
"Allo-Kentro Lance!" the Guardian Kyoryugers in the mech shouted using the javelin weapon forms from Kentrospiker to attack Honenukky.
But after a couple strikes, the Guardians were forced back.
"Okay, our turn!" Gold shouted as Pteraiden-Oh Mega flew in and slashed at Honenukky. "You two willing to trust my next tactic?"
"Sure thing Gold," Pink replied.
"All for it Tsugi-chan," Magenta nodded.
"Then split up for a bit and attack him from different angles on the ground, Pteragordon and I'll take him from the air, then after Alloryuzin uses their finisher, we'll gattai again and finish him for good," Gold told the two.
"Hai!" they both responded, splitting off.
Then, Pteraiden-Oh reverted to Pteragordon as Honenukky looked to his right and left, seeing Stymero and Dricera ready to charge from each respective side.
"Okay Aki-chan! CHARGE!" Magenta shouted.
"Here we go!" Pink exclaimed as the charged, both Ceratopsian Zyudenryu hitting the Debo Monster from either side with their horns before moving out of the way.
=GORDO~N!=
At that, Pteragordon launched a fearsome lightning blast from his mouth, greatly damaging Honenukky as Alloryuzin charged up from behind.
"NOW!" Gold shouted as Dricera and Stymero hopped onto a couple nearby buildings, ready to rejoin Pteraiden-Oh.
"Thanks!" Yellow shouted as he and the others prepared to attack.
"Alloryuzin, Brave Finish!"
And with that, the Guardian mecha slashed through Honenukky.
"Now Aki-chan!" Magenta shouted.
"Okay!" Pink nodded as Dricera & Stymero jumped back up to gattai with Gold & Pteragordon.
"Pteraiden-Oh Mega, Brave Finish!"
With that, they three Zyudenryu fused into Pteraiden-Oh Mega before sending multiple electrically charged blasts at Honenukky before landing, the Debo Monster exploding behind the two mechs.
"Can't believe Gabutyra missed something as amazing as this!" Red said as he and the others returned to the Spirit Base.
"That was impressive… but what about what Tsurugi said?" Rouge pointed out.
"Well… she was pretty harsh about it, but Tsurugi was right," Sonic sighed.
"We've got no excuse for how this one turned out," Takeshi agreed.
"Yeah… and I'm not gonna let her mouth off like that again," Rouge added.
"We'll take the issue up with her once we're stronger," Jet replied, practicing with a bokuto.
Star and Akiza meanwhile just smiled and fistbumped each other before turning to the group.
"That's right! She might be kind of a jerk at times, but she's not our enemy," Akiza figured with Star nodding in agreement.
"Yea, Gold can back up our Zyuden Sentai from the shadows," Star added.
"You two seem awfully keen to sweep this one under the rug," Takeshi pointed out.
"Are we?" Akiza and Star asked before Star heard his Mobuckle ring before pulling it out and seeing he had received a text message from Tsurugi, the text asking Star 'How did I perform?' in Katakana.
Little nervous of having to respond to this in front of the others, Star walked over with Akiza to behind a pillar so Akiza could help figure out what to send. As Star began to text, neither of them noticed Torin watching them. Soon, Star finished as he typed in 'Perfect' in Katakana before sending it to Tsurugi.
Speaking of the wolf, she was currently sitting on a rooftop looking at her Mobuckle and soon received the text from Star.
"Paafekt?" she read out loud, still trying to grasp some of the words spoken in the modern world and what they mean, but she just shrugged and smiled. "I've no idea what that means, but it certainly sounds impressive! I think I may be able to accomplish this after all, Star-dono!"

Pikatwig: Yet another brave is finished!
KKD: Yep. By the way, is that to indicate we'll be introducing our two newest Guardian Kyoryugers & Zyudenryu next chapter along with the plot of the regular episode or something?
Pikatwig: Likely. So, what did you enjoy about this Brave?
KKD: Sure did aibou. What was your favorite part of this one?
Pikatwig: The interactions between Star and Tsurugi.
KKD: Yea, that was interesting to say the least. Also, I should also point out for those of you complaining about the Guardian Kyoryugers making the number to too many for one story, we have a solution for that. Right aibou?
Pikatwig: Yep.
KKD: In any case, we'll let you know when that comes out while we work on this story. And now, to preview my 30th story, and allow greater expansion for it with what input you readers can come up with, here is a nifty little segment to help get you into it, and I will design my character to show you an idea of how this'll work. By the way, this series was inspired by Kirbopher's TOME series, so if I sound like I'm taking something from his show, that could be the reason why. Anyway, here's my little gift to you, the viewers, for having stayed with me for the past 2+ years I've been doing this fanfiction thing.
=Welcome to the Mugen Adventure Xros Game's Traveler's guide. This will be a quick and easy guide through the virtual world of MAX-G for players that are just starting out. The first thing you'll need to do before beginning your journey is to create a player character. MAX-G's in-depth creator character system has a wide array of body types, hair styles, clothing, and add-ons that can help make your personal avatar character completely unique to you. The system also allows for combinations, where you can take any number of characters from any number of franchises you like, and merge them in ways you prefer; it is also designer friendly and allows for pre-existing designs based on provided images to be quickly translated into a fully rendered model for gameplay. Your design will however need to be approved by network administrators.=
KKD: By this, it basically means you are free when it comes to designing your own personal character in any way you wish, as long as I can consider it okay for the story. For an example of a character without describing some other aspects this guide will explain later, here is my personal character in the format that I require you guys to place your characters' information in:
Gender: Male
Name: Takeshi Narumi
Age: 18
Birthday: 04/24
Country: U.S. (California); formerly Japan
Username: "KamenKen" aka "Ken"
Personality: Otaku to the core, may not know when is the best time to say some things, but gets serious when in a fight.
Human Character Background: A shy kid who lived in Japan. He moved to America after not succeeding at earning a job back home. He joined MAX-G as a means to chill after stressful days.
Physical Appearance: Essentially, this looks like a masked & armored version of Ken from Street Fighter, the main color being red with secondary colors being orange and the occasional yellow.
=Great! You've designed your character. Now let's take a look at MAX-G itself. The Mugen Adventure Xros Game is divided into seven connected regions: ;Haven, ;Orhill, ;Scarletera, ;Fayham, ;Icemill, ;Wyvern, and ;Greyiron City. ;Haven is an area dedicated entirely to social networking. ;Orhill is dedicated to in-game customization allowing players to create almost anything from weapons and spells for other players to utilize, to buildings and creatures to help expand the world of MAX-G in multiple ways since we always enjoy player input. ;Fayham is an area that accepts both social networking and the special customization. ;Scarletera is dedicated to combat between players. ;Icemill permits both battle contests and social networking, ;Wyvern allows players the features of special cutomization and fights, and finally ;Greyiron City allows for all three: social networking, special customization, AND competition. With a character in place, you can instantly get access to the ;Haven, ;Fayham, ;Icemill, and ;Greyiron City regions. In order to gain access to the region of ;Orhill to start creating, or access special customization areas in ;Fayham, ;Wyvern, and ;Greyiron City, you must send a request to the Webmaster, our highest administrator, along with a list of things you wish to create and/or incorporate into the game not just for your own benefit, but for the benefits and enjoyment of fellow players as well.=
KKD: Put simply, when you create a character with the format stated earlier, your character could have the potential to have a cameo or minor role within the story. But special customization is something I must be able to monitor and make sure; keep in mind this story is relatively new, so I will need some help in expanding this universe of a game. It will incorporate other games at some point, but I want to focus on MAX-G first and foremost when it comes to the story. So, if you wish to help me come up with new weapons, spells, buildings, areas within the seven regions, or even animals for the story that can serve a variety of purposes from mounts and pets to monsters and bosses, then be sure to send that along with the information of a character you wish to submit saying what you would like to create (weapons, spells, buildings/areas, creatures, etc.).
=But before you can go venturing into ;Scarletera, or compete in battles with other players while in ;Icemill, ;Wyvern, and ;GreyIron City, the next thing you'll have to do is acquire special abilities. Depending on the design of your character, the game will automatically determine which class you fall into. There are nine primary classes, but ten classes in total: Fighter, Spellcaster, Swordsman, Gunslinger, Rogue, Combat Medic, Animalistic, Morphological, Mechanical, and finally Shapeshifter. The first nine classes are available immediately, and will be determined based on design, but if you wish to create a character that can have access to the Shapeshifter class, a class that allow players to have access to multiple classes, you must have acquired a code that you must type in when logging in; this will allow you to set in multiple designs for your avatar, however, you must make sure that your character's designs are all within different classes, meaning you cannot have multiple Fighter class forms or multiple Rogue class forms for instance. You can obtain access to the Shapeshifter class by inserting either promotional codes from ads in KKD studios works, or using referral codes granted to you by players who invite you to join.=
KKD: This means your character's designs will determine what class they fall under, but unlike the guide said, if you wish to insert multiple forms, you'll need to ask me what classes you'd like to have your character take up, and then send me your designs. However, I'll only be accepting a specific number of Shapeshifter class characters, so if you want your character to be at least considered as a Shapeshifter class, then send me a PM with this code: ThunderMega15. If your character is not accepted as a Shapeshifter and you still have multiple designs for your character, then feel free to let me know of the designs you have in mind, and I will send you a PM of which form I will use. For example, here is the class for my character, the code he inserted, and the classes and appearance of his other forms, as well as how they are accessed (being in parenthesis like this):
Class: Shapeshifter
Shapeshifter Access Code: SSKR2014
Aforementioned Appearance Class: Fighter (Default Form)
2nd Form Class & Appearance: Swordsman; a light gray and bright purple color scheme, this is like a cross between Kamen Rider Blade and a stereotypical medieval knight. (Accessed when Ken equips his avatar with the Tempest-Blade.)
3rd Form Class & Appearance: Gunslinger; best description for this form is a dark gray mix of a cowboy and a soldier. (Accessed when equipping himself with the Thunder Magnum)
4th Form Class & Appearance: Rogue; this is commonly described as a cross between Scorpion/Subzero & a more traditional ninja of stealth like Ryu Hayabusa that is mostly a dark blue with sky blue accents. (Accessed when he is granted and equipping the tundra ninja gear.)
5th Form Class & Appearance: Combat Medic; best considered to be a masked & hooded version of Robin Hood. (Accessed when equipped with the Terra-Shield.)
I will admit, there is more to this character… but that'd be spoiling, wouldn't it? But of course, classes alone don't make up a character; they all need their own skills in combat.
=Each class has a collection of different abilities, skills, items, and attributes that can be applied to your character based on the Zodiac System. The Zodiac System is a balancing program that calculates how many powers can be assigned to your character at one to allow fair chance between all players on MAX-G in unison. When your powers have been selected and balanced, all that's left is for you to assign a customized title to your special power, and your character will be fit to do battle in MAX-G.=
KKD: Let me clarify this, when you send me the idea for your character's design, I will attempt to create various powers based on design/description of your character, and later names of exact moves that they can/will use. But, if you wish to request specific powers for your character, let me know, and I will use them, and if needed add or remove something to balance out the skills of your character. To put this in perspective, here is what I have set up for each of my character's forms:
Fighter Form: Here, he is seen to control the fires of extreme temperatures, and use fire as easily as some characters execute Ki Manipulation, and uses it to enhance his finishing moves. This is also the most balanced of his forms.
Swordsman Form- This form has an emphasis of strength and speed, utilizing the winds to create tornados and increase his attack power.
Gunslinger- Speed is still an emphasis, but he now uses his attacks more from a distance, and is seen to use status ailments more on his foes this way. However, when it calls for it, this form is seen able to fire attacks that could be comparable to powers of actual thunderstorms.
Rogue Form- As most rogues are, this is specialized in stealth. This form could almost be labeled in the class of morphological due to how it manipulates water into various forms, while his main weapons are ice shuriken and kunai along with an ice staff and water nunchucks (or nunchaku as he prefers to call them).
Combat Medic Form- He often uses this when he and his allies are in need of health. He uses leeching attacks with the aid of arrows, and his terra-shield makes this form the most defensive, and he can temporarily make his allies invincible and grant unlimited ammo, too.
KKD: Of course, each form has their own weaknesses to allow fair play, so don't think Ken will always have the opportunity to stop his opponents with a One-Hit KO. So don't worry, I don't plan on overpowering my character, but if I end up doing so, I apologize in advance and will say it is mostly for displaying something regarding the plot. Okay, that's all I have for characters, and now, the rest of the preview will explain how your character enters, and then the rules of combat.
=When accessing the game, your character will appear through the walls of the world map that surrounds MAX-G based on your real world location. There are a number of specific entry points spread throughout all seven regions of MAX-G that you can select upon logging in. Once selected, your character will be transported to the entry point by way of flight and you'll be thrust right into action.=
KKD: This will explain why the characters may or may not meet up at the exact same spot every single time a chapter begins with them entering the game, and gives a preview of how they look like when they enter.
=Now it's time to get down to the nitty-gritty: virtual combat! Fights between players are executed standardly by way of what's called the Brawl Zone. When your opponent, or opponents, are set in place and have accepted your challenge, the Brawl Zone envelopes the surrounding area to a certain set of dimensions allowing to you compete with your selected challengers without interference.=
KKD: Keep that in mind, that will be important when the villains jump into battle in some of the regions.
=Using your pre-selected skills and abilities, you will fight against other players within the constraints of the Brawl Zone, until the losers run out of hit points, or are too overwhelmed to fight. Wins are added to your record and increase your rank and experience allowing you to become more and more powerful.=
KKD: Basically, this is a means of leveling up your characters, increasing their stats with each fight, and to help prove how strong you are against multiple opponents across the globe. You don't lose experience when you lose, of course, but it will affect your rank as with most characters.
=There are some rules and regulations when it comes to combat in the four regions of ;Greyiron City, ;Icemill, ;Wyvern, and ;Scarletera. ;Haven, ;Fayham, and ;Orhill are exempt due to them being battle-free zones. In ;Greyiron City, ;Icemill, and ;Wyvern, all matches MUST be set up and accepted by both parties before ANY fighting is allowed. There are also some within the ;Greyiron City walls where battles NOT allowed at all, due to spatial limitations of the Brawl Zone. In ;Scarletera, on the other hand, anything goes when it comes to combat. All challenges must be fought unless an opponent chooses to flee and forfeit their rank. The entire region is open for battle at all times, so it is possible to fight other players even if a Brawl Zone is not set up. However, if a player is defeated outside of these Zones, their rank will not be affected, and the player that defeated them will NOT gain any experience points, only bragging rights.=
KKD: That's all you need to know when it comes to combat in the story, but there's more in store within the actual story, and so, we will close this preview out with the last portion of the guide.
=When battling players in MAX-G, there are no limits; make full use of your carefully selected powers, and defeat your opponents by any means necessary. Aim to be the best and most skillful warrior in the virtual world! But above all else, have fun! From all of us at Sentai Software, we hope we could help you get a strong kickstart and eagerly await your grand appearance to the Mugen Adventure Xros Game. Play well, Brawl on, and until we see you, Jaa ne!=
KKD: Until then, it's time for the Catchphrases as we close this out. Jaa ne!
Pikatwig: Just Live More.
