It Could Always Be Worse - Magical Chronicle RPM StrikerS 1/?
Magical Chronicle RPM StrikerS
“You all stand here, prepared in mind, body and spirit, in order to become the elite police force known throughout the galaxy as Space Patrol Delta. Your ranks are filled with people from this world, off world and the worlds beyond. You will work together, to bring a brighter future. We are unbreakable. We are Space Patrol Delta!”
As one, the huge group of assembled cadets saluted. “Dismissed!” barked Anubis as they started to break up.
Nanoha exhaled. “Oh man, I think I’m about to pass out…”
“Take a few breaths Nanoha-chan,” said Fate reassuringly. “Sis, stop fidgeting!”
“We’ve been dismissed, we can fidget all we want,” chuckled Alicia as Wendi slung her arm around her shoulder. “So, we’ve finally got what we worked for all this time, huh?”
“Uh huh,” said the younger Vivio, the current record holder of the youngest graduate next to Einhart who she held hands with. “We should be ready to go soon though. We’ve got to pick up those new kids Fate-neechan adopted.”
“Oh yeah, how are they?” asked Hayate as the small kidlet Rein stood next to her, watching a butterfly fly by and waving her short arms at it. “Are they a handful?”
“Well, let’s all go and pick them up, okay?” said Fate. “Where’s Quattro? Shouldn’t she have been here at grad?”
“Feh, sis is already with Dr. Manx,” laughed Wendi. “C’mon guys, let’s go!”
“Silver team get into position!” barked Eric as Subaru and Tiana positioned themselves behind large pieces of wreckage, the rest of the SPD Cadets from their training periods flanking around them. The mechanical opponents marched down the street, brass with mechanical whirring noises.
Teana gripped her pistol as she nodded as Subaru who cracked her knuckles. “Open fire!”
Shots of lasers and magic rang out from the team under cover, slamming into the opponents. “Hand to hand!” ordered Eric as the team rushed forward, kicking and punching.
Teana spun into a well matched pair of windmill kicks along with Subaru as they covered each other’s back. Shots from Teana’s gun slammed into the opponents as Subaru caved in the head of one of the others. “Ready?” asked Subaru.
“Ready!” The pair pulled out small devices and slotted them into the top of a pair of twinned devices on their wrists as they hit the lever on the front of them. “RPM! Get in Gear!”
In an explosion of light, two Rangers appeared on the battlefield, one dressed in green, the other in black. “Alright, let’s take them down!”
“TIME!” roared Eric and the pair stopped short as the enemies vanished. “Subaru, Teana, what the hell are you two doing?”
Series Green looked sheepish. “Er, morphing?”
“I didn’t give the order to morph,” said Eric Meyers sternly. “But good job thinking about it.”
“Sir?” said Series Black.
“Look around you.” And the pair did, noticing the snipers on the rooftops. The pair cringed in unison. “It wouldn’t have protected everyone. Think about that.”
Eric tabbed a button on his Quantum Morpher and the holographic scenery faded away. “Alright, pack it up! We’ve got the new teams to assign!”
“Hanamori Kotoha, reporting as ordered sir.” Said Kotoha, saluting Anubis.
“At ease.” Said Anubis as she shifted to the at ease stance. “After reviewing some records from the Ninjetti Team, I’ve been asked to put you in charge of a new team, training in the way of the sword.”
“Me sir?” gaped Kotoha. “But… I cannot! I’m not a teacher…”
“You come highly recommended by the 19th Head of the Shiba Clan,” said Anubis, looking over the files of the Shinkengers fighting the Gedoushou. “As well as your own teammates who believe you deserve a better position. Alicia T. Harlaown has put in your name for Captainship of the new task force being put together as a senior member of the task force. Do you accept the position?”
Kotoha felt faint but she nodded, straightening up. “Hai! Er, yes sir!”
“That’s what I wanted to hear,” said Anubis, clearly pleased. “Let me introduce you to your fellow captains. Come in!”
Kotoha turned and smiled. “Suzuka-chan, Arisa-chan!”
“Kotoha-chan!” chorused the pair.
“Suzuka and Arisa have been your companions for nearly five years now through thick and thin. Commander Zest and Sargeant Major Vice will be serving with you as well. Captain Alicia will be heading up the formation in tandem with Hayate Yagami and her team of Rangers.”
“Sir, are we going to be training Rangers?” asked Kotoha.
“Indeed you are. The best of the best, working alongside the joint commission until further notice. Dismissed!”
Erio Mondal had never been on Earth in his short life until now, but he was looking around the city in awe. It was advanced yes, but lacked the holographic screens he was so used to on Mid. His companion, a pink haired girl named Caro Ru Lushe was also looking around, gazing at the humans and non humans and everything else in between.
“It’s so different from Mid,” said Erio softly as a pair of aliens with large crests on their heads and blue skin walked by. “We never see this many non-humans everywhere.”
“It’s very different for me as well,” said Caro softly. The pair had met up and they were waiting for their pick up in the airport.
“Excuse me,” said a soft voice as a young girl with long pink-violet hair stood there, clutching a bag to her chest. Beside her was a tall insect-like creature who hovered protectively over her shoulder. “Are you two Caro and Erio?”
“Yeah, how do you know us?” asked Erio.
In response, the girl held out a pair of pictures, one of Caro, one of Erio. “I was sent to meet you here and wait for our ride. My name is Lutecia Alphine, my mother is a TSAB Mage.”
“And I’m Agito!” added the loud voice of a small voice that appeared from her hair. “Ne, ne, Lu, these two look kind of wimpy.”
“Hey!” Stammered Erio.
“Um…” said Caro, staring at the small floating girl.
“Eh? You looking at something?” asked Agito. “I’m Agito, the greatest Unison Device in the known universe! I look after Lu when her mom’s not around!”
“Agito please,” blushed Lutecia.
“I believe we will be in the same squad,” said Lu.
“Huh? Is the TSAB hiring kids now en masse?” asked Erio.
“I guess we’re all good at what we do,” said Caro, shuffling her feet.
“Newbies,” said Nanoha, leaning on Raising Heart.
“Yep,” said Fate, resting on Bardiche.
“Fresh meat,” said Hayate, earning a look from the pair.
Reinforce Eins palmed her face as Reinforce Zwei asked, “Why fresh meat?”
“Don’t scare them you three, you’re just part-time instructors for this whole venture,” said Reinforce Eins softly.
“Yes MOM,” chorused the three.
Subaru leaned over to Teana and whispered, “These are our instructors? The white devil, the thunder goddess and the mistress of cosplay?”
“Why can’t anyone on this planet be normal?” lamented Teana.
Caro, Erio and Lu shifted, deciding not to reply as the three instructors giggled maniacally between each other. Kotoha tried to ignore them as she cleared her throat. “Alright everyone,” said Kotoha. “If you are unaware of who I am, I am your new instructor, the head mentor for the team soon to be designated as the Series RPM StrikerS Tactical Defense Squad. Or Power Rangers for short. Two of you, Teana-chan and Subaru-chan, have been assigned Series Black and Series Green respectively. Erio-kun, Caro-chan and Lu-chan will be assigned series red, blue and yellow respectively.”
“It is our job as senior Rangers to train you in all possible forms of combat, scenarios and experience,” added Kotoha. “Though technically I am not quite a Ranger, but a Ninjetti Warrior but let’s not quibble.”
“Um, do your best everyone!” And she bowed.
“Tests are complete,” said Quattro, doffing her glasses as she rubbed her eyes.
“What do the readouts say?” asked Hayley of the younger girl.
“Top 99th Percentile at least,” said Quattro with a grin. “These girls and guy are definitely Ranger material. I’d say they outclass A-Squad in ways that are unique.”
“Don’t let Tiida hear that; he’d never let his sister live it down,” laughed Kat from the other side of the room.
“Speaking of Tiida, how’s he doing after…?” said Hayley. Kat frowned. “That bad huh?”
“He blames himself for Devin’s injury, but they’ll both live. Tommy’s already dragged him out for Kidnap Therapy,” said Kat.
“Father too,” said Quattro. “They’re determined not to lose anyone. And Devin will be out of the hospital soon.”
“That’s good. Can’t have people going crazy on us.” Said Hayley.
“Crazy-er you mean,” pointed out Kat. “Sanity is relative on this planet.”
Erio was unpacking his things when the door swished open. “Hi there, you must be my new roommate,” said a young teenager with messy brown hair and dressed in the standard SPD uniform. “At least I think you’re my new roommate because when I left the room this morning there was no name other than mine on the door and now there’s a name on the door so I figured there was something to do with the new luggage in the room. Hi I’m Bridge Carson.”
He’s not even breathing hard from speaking that much… stared Erio before nodding politely and holding out his hand for Bridge. “Erio Mondal, from Mid. A pleasure to meet you Bridge-san.”
“Nice to meet you too,” said Bridge and he shook hands, and Erio noticed he wore gloves. “And please, it’s just Bridge. I’ve never gotten to the whole Japanese politeness thing.”
“Bridge,” said Erio. “Um, gloves?”
“Oh right, well I was born with special powers and it was linked to my hands so to keep from overwhelming myself I wear gloves.” Said Bridge, wiggling his fingers.
“Oh I get it. That’s actually quite amazing. Where are you assigned by the way?”
“Cadet right now, working my way up to a squad position,” said Bridge. “How about you?”
“Just newly assigned to the prototype team, RPM.” Said Erio. “Something to do about being trained by senior Rangers.”
“Oh really? Yeah, I’ve got a tutor myself, Alicia of Riot SPD. She’s got this fantastic recipe for buttery toast.”
“And this is our room, four to a room and all,” said Sydney Drew as she pointed out the room which was tastefully done up in pink and a few other colors. “You guys can choose whatever bunk you want except the one with the pink sheets.”
“It’s very nice though,” said Caro as she and Lutecia walked in, their familiars following close behind. “And it has a nice view of the city.”
“Yeah, one of the great things about this room,” said Syd. “So you two are the new RPMers huh?”
“RPMers?” inquired Lu curiously.
“Yeah, RPM. You know, Get in Gear? The new team that’s being formed up by the veterans as an experiment.” Said Syd with a grin. “Don’t worry; you’ll learn the lingo around here. RPM, Riot, SPD, EVAC, Shevac…”
“What’s the last one again?” said Caro.
“Oh shoot it’s her, evac!” translated Syd, censoring herself for the younger girls. “It’s a term used for any of the more powerful teams, like the Ninjetti, Riot or whoever. Typically designed for those all-girl teams but it’s become a general term now.”
“Erio Mondal, you’ll be operating Series Red. It comes with a five second attack burst of time-space manipulation accompanied with a sword in order to be used during melee combat. Caro Re Luche, you will be commanding Series Yellow, which has both a zip charger for distance attacks as well as a three second energy burst, or chi attack as you will. And finally, Lutecia Alpine, you will be commanding Series Blue, which comes armed with both Road Blaster and a ten second time burst, capable of freezing time.” Kat Manx looked at the team. “Any questions so far?”
Erio raised a hand. “Um, our Devices…”
“They will be developed for tandom use with the RPM technology, but for now will be used later in training,” said Kat. “Yes?”
Caro put her hand down. “No pink?”
“A pink ranger hasn’t been developed for this. Sorry, you’ll have to change your wardrobe around just a little,” said Kat and Caro nodded. “Anything else?”
“Um, when we morph, is it really necessary to scream RPM Get in Gear at the top of our lungs?” asked Lutecia.
Kat looked pained. “It’s a voice recognition technology for both safety and secure transformation.”
“One last thing Miss Manx, um… what’s with the eyes?”
“Eyes?”
“Right there, on the front of our zords,” said Erio, pointing at the diagram of the Hawkzord.
“They are not eyes. They are optical sensors for the zords heads up display.” Said Kat, rolling her eyes. Yes, she thought they were eyes too.
“But they look… like…” fumbled Erio.
“Eyes.” Said Caro.
“Big googly anime eyes,” said Lutecia.
“… next question.”
“You all stand here, prepared in mind, body and spirit, in order to become the elite police force known throughout the galaxy as Space Patrol Delta. Your ranks are filled with people from this world, off world and the worlds beyond. You will work together, to bring a brighter future. We are unbreakable. We are Space Patrol Delta!”
