Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger vs. Kamen Rider Fourze: The Saviors of Friendship
Chapter 1: Star Changing Youth
Up in space, aboard the Orion, the capable but sometimes wholly nuts Commander Shou Ronpo gathered the other eleven members of the team for a briefing.
"It has come to my attention that Jark Matter…"
As everyone leaned in to discover what the evil Space Shogunate's plan was this time, the purple dragon humanoid replied,
"Is up to something!" he exclaimed, as everyone face-faulted.
"We figured that if you called us here for a briefing, garu!" Garu, the wolfman exclaimed.
The dragon-man was then whacked over the head by a pointer.
"Since you can't take this seriously, I'm taking over this briefing!" Raptor announced.
A holographic projection came up, as she addressed the group.
"We believe that Jark Matter is attempting to kidnap students from a high school on that alternate Earth we visited before. They created an artificial wormhole to get there, but the ship is too big to fit through, but a small team could get through and infiltrate the school to find out what they're up to."
"Now, Kyulette the Chance!" Shou Ronpo declared, bringing out the Kyulette.
"But Commander…" Raptor protested.
"Come on now everyone; put in your Kyutama!"
"Don't you even want to hear her out?" Hammie asked.
"No, we're going to decide who goes the same way we always do!"
The song played, as the Commander spun the Kyulette, as five Kyutama were deposited on the pool table that bore their logo.
"Let's see…The team that will infiltrate the school will be…Lucky!"
"YOSSHA, LUCKY!"
"…Stinger!"
Stinger looked emotionless as always.
"…Naga!"
"I will enjoy this immensely…" he replied somberly instead of excitedly.
"We really need to find him a video…" Balance commented.
"…Hammie!"
"Awesome!" she replied, jumping for joy.
"…And Spada!"
"Grazie!" he replied.
"Now, what was it you wanted to say Raptor?"
Raptor, who had been forced to stand there as the commander once again stole the show, spun the Kyulette, and of course, interrupted her briefing, was about ready to explode. And explode she did.
"BAKAYARO! THE MISSION IS TO INFILTRATE A HUMAN SCHOOL, SO IT MAKES SENSE TO SEND THE HUMAN OR HUMAN-LOOKING MEMBERS OF THE CREW TO INVESTIGATE! YOU, BALANCE, CHAMP, AND ME WOULD STICK OUT LIKE SORE THUMBS! BUT NO, YOU HAD TO USE THE KYULETTE! YOU'RE REALLY LUCKY IT PICKED THE TEAM I WAS GOING TO PICK ANYWAY, OR I WOULD BE POUNDING YOU MORE! AH MOU!"
Everyone took cover and watched from it as Raptor proceeded to give the Commander an earful and emphasize her points by whacking him with her pointer. Everything out of her system, she resumed her briefing as the Commander, in a state of disbelief slowly began to recover from her tongue-lashing.
"Now, I've drawn up the paperwork and procured school uniforms to get you admitted to this high school so you can move around without drawing much attention. You'll be attending Amanogawa High School, colloquially known as Ama High. It was founded by a famous astronaut who wanted to foster space exploration into future generations. There was a major scandal five years ago, which was covered up, and things have been relatively quiet there until Jark Matter decided to get involved recently. Good luck!"
"I don't need luck; I'm already the luckiest man in the galaxy!" Lucky exclaimed. "YOSSHA…"
Hammie whacked him in the back of the head before he could finish.
The five flew down to Earth in their Voyagers and hid them near the school before heading onto campus. Unfortunately, they had no idea where they were going.
"A good chef is always prepared for last-minute customers! I'm sure Raptor put a map of the school in our paperwork somewhere…" Spada assured the group.
The five of them started to go through it at his insistence.
"Nothing…" Stinger said simply.
"I do not have anything that looks like a map," Naga added.
"Nothing in mine either…" Hammie replied. "Lucky?"
"What are you all looking at me for?" He asked.
"This is usually about the time you exclaim, 'Yossha, Lucky!' and pull out your map," Stinger told him.
"You mean, you didn't get one either?" Spada asked him. Lucky nodded.
"MOU! What are we supposed to do now if even the lucky guy didn't get one?!" Hammie fumed.
Back on the Orion…
"Hey, hey! Look what I found! Looks like some maps that need coloring!" Balance exclaimed.
"I'll go get colored pencils!" Kotaro shouted.
Later, Garu, Balance, Champ, the Commander, and Kotaro were coloring in the beautifully drawn maps as Raptor happened to walk in.
"What are you guys doing?" she asked.
"We're coloring maps, Auntie Raptor!" Kotaro beamed.
"It's very relaxing; you should try it, garu!"
"Moo!" Champ exclaimed.
"Maps…?" She said, taking a look at what they were coloring.
"YOU IDIOTS! THOSE ARE THE MAPS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IN EVERYONE'S PACKETS! HOW ARE THEY GOING TO FIND THEIR WAY AROUND THE SCHOOL WITHOUT THEM?!"
"Relax! Relax! I'm sure they'll figure something out!" Balance assured her.
Back at Ama High…
"You all look like you could use some help." A voice said from behind them. The five turned around to find a smiling twenty-something in a faded gray suit. His most prominent feature though was his Regent-style pompadour.
"And you are…?" Stinger asked.
"Gentaro Kisaragi. I'm a teacher here at Ama High!" He declared with a chest bump and then pointing at them.
"See Hammie; I told you it would all work out! YOSSHA, LUCKY!"
Gentaro took their packets from them and looked them over.
"Great! You're all in my homeroom!" he exclaimed proudly. "Follow me!"
"Well, that worked out better than expected…" Spada said to the rest of the group as they followed Gentaro to his classroom.
"It was probably easier for Raptor that way," Hammie suggested.
As Gentaro entered the room, the rest of the students stood and bowed in his direction before taking their seats.
"Alright! We've got some new students today, so be sure to make them all feel welcome!"
"YOSSHA LUCKY! I'm Lucky Takumi, pleased to meet you! I'm the luckiest man in the…ow!" Lucky started to say before Hammie stomped on his foot before he blew his cover.
"My name is Yousuke Taketora, but everyone calls me Stinger for some reason." Stinger replied.
"I am Naga Taiki. I'm so glad to meet you!" He sobbed.
"Hi everyone! I'm Hammie Sakurako, pleased to meet you!"
"Buongiorno! I'm Spada Tetsuji! My hobby is cooking!"
"Ossu! Well, why don't you all take a seat, and we'll get this show on the road!"
Later that day…
"Mou! We've been here all day, and not a sign of Jark Matter!" Hammie complained.
"Hammie-chan, what were you expecting? A great big sign that says, 'Jark Matter, now recruiting?'" Spada quipped.
"The only unusual thing that happened to me so far was when I opened my locker and was buried under a torrent of notes from girls…" Stinger replied.
"I didn't even get one…" Naga wailed. "What about you, Spada?"
"Well, the cafeteria cooking could use a pick-me-up, but besides that, I haven't noticed anything."
"Guys! Look!" Lucky said, pointing.
The others followed his finger, and sure enough, there were a bunch of Indavers looking around!
"YOSSHA, LU-MPH!" Stinger attempted to silence Lucky's affirmation, but unfortunately, it got the Indavers attention.
"What do we do?" Naga asked.
"We can't transform, it'll blow our cover!" Stinger assured them.
"But we can't just do nothing!" Hammie insisted.
"Hey, where'd Lucky go."
"He wouldn't..." Stinger replied as the four looked nervously towards the foot soldiers, only to see Lucky charging towards them.
"He would." Hammie reminded them.
"I'LL BEAT YOU ALL UP WITHOUT MY CHANGER! YOSSHA LUCKY!"
"The chef can't do anything without the help of his cooks. We should go too." Spada insisted.
Their Seiza Blasters tucked safely away in their school bags, Stinger, Naga, Hammie, and Spada went on the attack as well. But they were greatly outnumbered, and soon the element of surprise turned against them, and the Kyurangers were on the ropes. That was until a voice called out:
"Hey! Leave my students alone!"
"Dabee?" the foot soldiers said suddenly as they turned to face the speaker, bleeding and bruised, the Kyurangers looked as well.
"Kisaragi…Sensei?" Stinger said in bewilderment.
All were still bewildered as Gentaro brought out his Fourze Driver and it attached to his waist. He flipped the four red switches down one by one and stood there with one hand on the Enter Lever and the other raised.
3!
The Indavers looked at Gentaro curiously.
2!
The Kyurangers looked at Gentaro in disbelief.
1!
"Henshin!" Gentaro shouted, cycling the Enter Lever as a cloud of steam engulfed him and two rings passed over his body, turning him into a white spaceman with a space shuttle head, with two big orange eyes and a featureless black face.
"UCHUU…" Gentaro began, as he tucked his body inward,
"…KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" He bellowed as he exploded outward and upward, his voice reaching Earth orbit and shaking the Orion and its inhabitants.
"Kamen Rider Fourze! Let's settle this man to man!"
ROCKET ON!
"RIDER ROCKET PUNCH!" Gentaro shouted, as a massive orange rocket appeared on his arm and he used it to close the distance to the Indavers. Gentaro went on the attack, using various AstroSwitches to take down the grunts, but there were still too many, even for a single Kamen Rider. As he also was on the ropes, blasts came from behind him, as the five Kyurangers stood there with their Seiza Blasters ready.
"You helped us. Now let us return the favor! Let's go!" Lucky shouted as everyone stood ready with their respective Kyutama.
"Mawa Slide!"
Shishi Kyutama!
Sasori Kyutama!
Hebitsukai Kyutama!
Chameleon Kyutama!
Kaijiki Kyutama!
The five pushed the Kyutama like a joystick forward towards the barrel.
Seiza Change!
"STAR CHANGE!" The five flipped the trigger down, aimed downward, and fired, as a star appeared at their feet and their constellations appeared in front of them, before passing backward over them to put on their suits.
"Super Star! Shishi Red!" Lucky announced, going through his poses.
"Poison Star! Sasori Orange!" Stinger said.
"Silent Star! Hebitsukai Silver!" Naga said.
"Shinobi Star! Chameleon Green!" Hammie exclaimed.
"Food Mei-Star! Kajiki Yellow!" Spada finished.
"The Ultimate Saviors! Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger!" Lucky announced.
Explosions shot off behind them.
"Time to test your luck!"
(Insert Song: LUCKY STAR)
The five Kyurangers charged towards Fourze and the Indaver.
Kyu Sword!
"Take that! And That! And That!" Lucky cried as he swung his weapon at the various Indavers.
With a few quick flicks of his tail, Stinger had paralyzed a bunch of Indaver near him.
Kyu Spear! Galaxy!
"Antares Impact!" he declared, taking them out with his signature move.
Snake eye seals appeared on several more Indaver as Naga used his hereditary technique on them.
Kyu Sickle! Galaxy!
"Ophiuchus Impact!" he declared, using his signature move on them.
Hammie turned invisible and was harassing the Indaver by tapping them on the shoulder and then pulling away suddenly, as they groped around to find her, one of them accidentally groped her!
"WHICH ONE OF YOU DID THAT!?" she demanded angrily.
"Dabee!" The Indaver replied wordlessly, pointing at one another.
Galaxy!
A very angry Hammie took them out as the blade of her Kyu Rapier became a whip for her Hamillion Impact.
"Allow me to show off my knife skills!" Spada replied.
Galaxy!
"Dorado Impact!"
He hurled a quintet of energy blades at a bunch, taking them out.
"Let's deal with the leftovers!"
"YOSSHA, LUCKY!"
"Ossu! Split! And Insert!"
Gentaro separated the N/S MagPhone into the N Magnet and S Magnet Switches and inserted them into the outermost slots on his Fourze Driver.
N Magnet!
S Magnet!
N/S MAGNET ON!
The Kyurangers pulled their respective Kyutama back towards them like a joystick twice.
Galaxy!
(3 klaxon-like alarms) Limit Break!
"All-Star Crash!"
"RIDER SUPER ELECTROMAGNETIC BOMBER!"
The combined attacks slammed into the remaining Indaver, reducing them to stardust. With that, everyone powered down.
"Okay everyone, back to the classroom, I think we have lots to talk about," Gentaro said.
The Kyurangers looked at him with dread.
Later…
"So, you guys are here because the evil space shogunate you're fighting against has been kidnapping students?"
"That's the gist of it." Stinger replied.
"Kisaragi-sensei, have you noticed anything strange happening around here lately?" Spada asked.
"You guys can call me Gentaro when it's just us. Although when we're in homeroom, it's probably best for you to address me as "Kisaragi-sensei or just "Sensei," so the rest of the class doesn't get suspicious. But now that you mention it, a bunch of my students haven't shown up for class recently, so I was down to thirty-five students until you guys came along."
"Perhaps that is why Raptor put us into Kisaragi-sensei's homeroom in the first place." Naga reasoned.
"Who's Raptor?" Gentaro asked.
"She's the team pilot, secretary, and occasional Kyuranger," Spada explained, counting the hats Raptor wore on his fingers.
"Most sentai teams I've met only have five or six people on them."
"Ours has twelve, counting Tsurugi!" Hammie explained.
"TWELVE!? How do you pull that off?" Gentaro asked.
"We normally decide at random who deploys with a device called the Kyulette to avoid expending too much of the energy that powers our Kyutama." Stinger explained.
"I wonder if that's like the Cosmic Energy that powers my gear." Gentaro surmised.
"But, where the other members are a thirteen-year-old kid, a wolfman, three robots, and a humanoid dragon, it made much more sense to send the members of our team that were completely or mostly human, like Stinger." Spada finished.
Gentaro thought about everything for a moment, then asked.
"Being a space-themed sentai, you must have space-themed vehicles, right?"
They nodded.
"Maybe there's something the rest of your team can help with. Come with me!"
Gentaro led them to an abandoned part of the school, where they stood in front of some rusted old lockers. He told them to transform, so they did, and then opened one of the lockers which bathed them all in white light as Gentaro motioned for them to follow him.
"Is this some kind of passageway?" Stinger asked.
"Yep! It gets better, though!"
A door slid open, and they arrived in a place that had seen better days.
"Welcome to the Rabbit Hutch, or at least what's left of it. In the good old days, this was the headquarters and clubhouse for the Space Kamen Rider Club when I was a student here. Nowadays, the Club has to meet in a spare classroom, but I'd really like for them to see this place like it was."
"So, you want us to help repair it?" Stinger asked. "In exchange for keeping our true identity a secret, perhaps?"
"Oh, no! Most of the teachers that were here when I went here know I'm Fourze, and you wouldn't believe all the students who come up to me and tell me that's why they wanted to go to school here. Everyone's really cool with superheroes on campus, trust me!" Gentaro explained.
"Then, why then?" Hammie asked.
"Well, you guys need a place to stay, right? Plus, I'd love to be able to hold club meetings here, like in the old days."
"But where are we going to stay in the meantime?" Naga inquired.
"I'll call my buds Miu and Shun! I'm sure they've got rooms to spare!" Gentaro exclaimed.
"YOSSHA, LUCKY!" Lucky exclaimed. "You've got a deal!"
"Were you going to ask us for our opinions before agreeing unanimously?" Stinger asked.
"Great! Let's shake on it!"
With guidance from Gentaro, the two performed Gentaro's Special Friendship Handshake, sealing the deal.
Standing atop one of the buildings, a shadowy but familiar figure stood to overlook it.
"Soon…I will find the treasure buried here…and take my revenge on you, Gentaro Kisaragi!"
To Be Continued…
