[b]The Nanashi Part 1[/b] The Nanashi that spooked Rikka looked at her with a menace. It gave her a grunt, seeing if she'd react to it. Meanwhile, the Nanashi explored the room with the glowing light. The light grew more and more colorful. There they saw a staircase leading downwards to a purple light. Some of the Nanashi went to there and examined what lied inside. It was a giant statue of a large gray and metallic hand clutching a purple egg. One of the Nanashi went to touch it, but was zapped by a powerful aura, blowing it up. The Nanashi scoured and scurried about. The Nanashi at the door reacted to Asuka's attack on them with one plan: Rush at her and try to attack her all at once. The guard put away his normal gun and got out the golden dinosaur gun, loading the same battery as the tour guide did. [b]GABURINCHO! ALLOMEEEEEEEERUUS![/b] "GET DOWN!" The guard shouted to Asuka, firing a stream of fire at the crowd of Nanashi. [b]VALOMA MUUUUUCHO! MERA MERAAAAAAAAAAAA![/b] The Nanashi were straying from the flames, with some of them exploding in the process. The Nanashi around Mikoto, Danny, and Mio's location began to thin out. Soon, only a dozen or two Nanashi remained with them. Meanwhile, the Nanashi that Hibiki engaged was punched so hard that it caused a slight boom, causing the other Nanashi near it to fall as well, with all afflicted exploding. --- [b]Black Cross King Part 1[/b] The Black Cross King focused on the Kuros fighting the Zyguard members, when he suddenly heard the screaching of a Pteradactyl. "[b]Dinosaurs? In this time period? That can only mean one thing...[/b]" He turned to the Black Starforce Ranger rolling into his view. He announced his intents of turning him in. "[b]My fears are confirmed, it seems. I shall confirm your fears too. I am not to go down without a fight, especially to a Ranger like you![/b]" The Black Cross King said. He prepared to fire a bolt of dark energy at the Ranger. That's when he heard the Kuros being defeated by Zyguard's members. Not only that, but there was also the matter of the Nanashi finding the egg. "[b]Perhaps we'll have our fight next time, Ranger. And trust me, I will enjoy it as much as you will.[/b]" The Black Cross King said. He turned around and snapped his finger. A portal of inky blackness formed from behind him as a monster rose from the portal. [url=http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130216233216/powerrangers/images/3/37/ZSK-Debo_Hyogakki.jpg]The monster looked like an ice sculpture forged in the shape of a saber-toothed tiger[/url]. "Have some fun with him until then." Was all the Black Cross King said before he faded away into a ball of dark purple and flew off. The Debo Monster leaped up into the air as soon as it was done rising and tried to strike Jan. --- [b]The Bakeneko Ayakashi[/b] The Bakeneko tried to deflect several of the laser blasts with his armblades, but soon, the lasers manage to chip one of the blades off. "OW! WHY YOU!" He screamed. He then ran and swung his remaining blade at him, trying to slash him. --- [b]Danny[/b] Danny smiled as Mio transformed into Wild Amber. For some reason, it felt... nostalgic. Her insistence that they head off and protect the others caused him to nod. "Alrighty!" Danny fired a few more shots at the Nanashi to slow them down. --- [b]Nicholas[/b] Nicholas pushed some of the Nanashi and roundhouse kicked them. That's when, throughout the halls, music played. The song was something Nicholas hasn't heard of before, but it sounded almost Megaman-like, even with the bagpipes, before Hibiki began to sing. Nicholas grabbed one of the Nanashi's swords and slashed at two Nanashi. "[b]Alright, follow me![/b]" Nicholas said to Jon, taking another sword and cutting his way through the Nanashi. He ran in the direction of the song. --- [b]The Black Cross King Part 2/The Gaia Memory User/The Cloaked Figure[/b] The remaining Kuros were soon slain and soon, with only the cowering Gaia Memory user remained. He got up and saw OOO closing in on him. He saw the zipper-like crack and the endless forest. He tried to run to it but... [b]ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip[/b] "NONONONONONO!" It closed and disappeared just as he was about to touch it. He landed in the sand as the tide reached his face. He turned around and saw that the Zyguard members were gunning for him. Up above, a dark ball was hovering about. It was about to swoop in to the user, but a ray of light stopped it, pushing the ball away to a different location on the beach. The Black Cross King stumbled about, wondering just what attacked him. He looked forwards and saw a ring of light shining. A figure stepped through the ring of light. The figure was cloaked in a black robe and the only thing that showed from the hooded darkness was two blue eyes with black x's in them. "[b]Who dares to interfere with the Black Cross King?[/b]" The Black Cross King said. The figure stepped forward and held her hand out. "[b][i]You are at war with life itself. You're declared an enemy of the Multiverse. Your army is doomed.[/i][/b]" The figure spoke. Its voice was female. "[b]Life? The Multiverse? Everything will fall once I lay my hands on the Cocoon of Destruction![/b]" The Black Cross King said. The figure froze for a bit. "[b][i]So you ARE after that. In that case, I must stop you.[/i][/b]" The figure said. "[b]You're too late! My Nanashi have already found it...[/b]" The Black Cross King chuckled. He then sent a telepathic message to everyone aligned with him, his Nanashi, the Ayakashi, and even his recruits. [i]My Nanashi have found the Egg, however, the Heretics cannot touch it. Recruits, I order you to head to where the Nanashi have found it. I shall send you a telepathic image of where they are...[/i]. Along with the message, the recruits also received a mental image of where the location of the Egg is and a rough estimated route of where it is from where each of them are standing. The next message he sent to only the Nanashi. [i]To the disposables I say this: eradicate the witnesses, but spare my own recruits.[/i] --- [b]Nanashi Part 2[/b] With that message, those who simply passed by the patrons of the museum instead turned to them, drawing their swords, and rushing to attack them. The Nanashi overseeing the egg turned to Lili and ran to her, swords drawn. The Nanashi that was staring at Rikka didn't even need to run. All it had to do was raise his sword and gurgle out a war cry. The tour guide went to the employee that gave Rachel her gear and tried to help them up.
