This choice: Hanako has her eye on a few unassuming civilians that are perfect for the team. • Go Back...Chapter #5The Bearer of the Green Morpher by: Keroro04   When it came to finding proper candidates for becoming a Sumoranger, Hanako was rather picky.
First off, they had to be rather strong when pushed to their limit. Whether that was physically or mentally she wanted to see people who were capable of accomplishing great things regardless of how stacked the board was against them. It was one of the core tenets of what she believed Sumo to be after all, that one was able to turn a figure that was otherwise unassuming and incredibly soft into a mighty force that could push all away.
The second factor meanwhile was that they were willing to train constantly to improve their stamina and endurance. This unfortunately ran counter with her third and final tenant that they must be capable of getting rather massive, as most often the result of eating a crapton of food over the span of a year or two was complete and utter sloth. She needed someone who'd remain fully active in spite of their weight, and who was ready to train so that they could maintain the impressive core muscles that she held beneath all her chair-crushing blubber.
Finding some people who fit all three of these tenants was going to be difficult, but at the very least there was someone that Hanako knew was perfect for a team like this. Her name was Chika Natsumi, a officer of the Ginza District Police who were in charge of protecting the district from more mundane crimes. Burglary, arson, murders committed by ordinary people and not monsters... she was the one in charge of securing all of that, and on top of that she did her job with a dedication that was outright astonishing.
Of course, the one thing that Hanako was worried about was her figure. She straight up did not have an ounce of fat on her body, instead having quite a developed muscular figure with a straight up six pack and a defined set of pectorals. This was good for later on, but when it came to trying to get fat on her in the first place she knew it was going to be a nightmare doing it the normal way.
Then again, that's what Chankonabe was for. And while cooking wasn't exactly her forte, Hanako at least knew how to make a damn good Chankonabe for others. She'd just have to get her to eat it nearly daily, and there was a good chance that the fat would start piling up quick.
Holding up the green morpher, Hanako decided to type in Chika's name to let the device seek out the woman on it's own and simply waited for the creature held within to guide Chika to her. Each device held it's own little helper after all, with Pink holding the owl, Green holding the monkey, Blue holding the swordfish, Yellow holding the butterfly, and Violet holding the ferret. They all were of their own will, but until her little owl companion managed to fix them the other four have all been dormant.
Well now that was all fixed, and it was time for these digital companions to find their partners.
Meanwhile...
"Protection detail, for the visiting Gattaca? That girl is literally eight and a half feet of pure muscle that can use a oil tanker truck to bench press with. Just send us on actual police work, so I can capture criminals that she's going to miss while she's sponsoring local gyms."
"Hey, it's not my decision unfortunately... to be honest I think it's stupid too, but that pink goddess wants other muscular women flanking her to act as comparison and the Japanese Government is complying with her request. And well... out of all Ginza's force you unfortunately have no equal."
Slamming her fist down in frustration, Chika really was not a fan with how the Japanese Government was treating their police force. Rather than trying to strengthen the force to keep up with today's power enhanced mooks and multiple empires rising from the grave to lay conquest on the Earth, they were capitulating to Capes and Superheroes and letting them do whatever they wanted in the process. Not just that, but they were also proving to let them get away with doing just about everything in exchange for protection.
This wasn't the fault of the heroes at least. They just wanted to protect others, and that certainly was a noble thing. No, it was the idea that police weren't needed as badly when there were capes around that really got her steaming mad. At this point they were just reduced to bodyguard details more often than they were allowed to catch criminals, and funding for the police was grinding to a halt.
There wasn't a chance of it being cut completely, but the police force of Tokyo felt like it had become a shadow of it's former self. And now, she was being asked to stand by THE Gattaca, as a physical reminder that her own human strength meant nothing compared to the strength of someone who dedicated their lives to wearing spandex and fighting other super powerful beings. She was done dealing with this stupidity, and at this rate she was willing to take anything to get out of this bodyguard detail.
Of course, at moments like this was precisely when a device crashed it's way into the office, startling the two people having a conversation. While the police chief hid himself behind his desk, Chika remained still and stared down at this unknown belt buckle-like controller, with several buttons laid around on it. She kept her hand around for her gun just in case, but as soon as she saw a holographic spider monkey emerge from it, hanging on a branch that generated from nowhere as it spoke.
"Chika Natsume... you have been chosen to take part in a noble upbringing..."
"What the fuck..." Chika mumbled under her breath, confused as to where exactly this was leading her. "Chosen for what?"
Regardless of how quiet she kept it however, it looked like the creature in the device had heard her. In roughly no time at all, it quickly responded with an explanation.
"Over a thousand years ago, the Defro Shogunate had attempted to lay siege upon the world. Ruling from their icy throne, the great Demon Shogun Koritetsuo brought chilling winds all across the planet in his attempt to bring upon a great ice age to subjugate the people through. No mortal force was capable of piercing his skin, and the gods couldn't risk intervening due to his own divine might, granted to him by the god of war Bishamonten. To make it worse, he was so powerful that his own essence occasionally broke off whenever he had to exert actual efforts in his invasions, creating Oni Lords that were completely loyal to him."
"Something needed to be done, so the Goddess Amaterasu created five morphers and gifted them to five highly dedicated warriors to slay the shogun. They had all succeeded, but all but one of the morphers were damaged beyond repair in the process. With the threat defeated, the Zords were sealed away within the Kita Mountain, and the warriors worked for the rest of their lives to make sure no one person could ever attempt to wrest control over the world ever again."
"However... last year an arctic expedition has come across Koritetsuo's corpse, and after an attempted theft by a woman in calico clothing gone horribly wrong the leader of the Defro Shogunate was split in twain. One of the shards was successfully shattered into a hundred pieces by the same woman shoving them over a cliff, but the other waited for her to vanish with treasure, before turning the pieces into his own new generations of Oni Lords and Oni Generals. Now, this shard calling himself simply as Kori seeks to take control of the world once more."
"What... does this have to do with me?" Chika asked, very confused by all the exposition and what exactly the Defro Shogunate even was. She certainly had never heard of it before, but this device seemed entirely certain in it's threat to the planet.
"The morphers have all been prepared in preparation for the day when the Defro Shogunate ever returned. This is the Green Morpher. With it you may possess the might of the Green Ranger, master of overwhelming strength and the vitality of nature. Plants and land-based animals will become empathetic to you, and will follow your command, and your strength will become a hundredfold in service of defending the country."
Chosen to be a ranger? Here and now? Chika was a bit conflicted about everything revolving around it... but she also really didn't want to take that job in being a bodyguard to a woman who frankly didn't mean it. She didn't want to shut the door on this offer, but she also wanted to use it to simply push the effort onto someone else just in case she didn't exactly enjoy it.
"I see... where must I go then?"
"Follow me. I will take you to the Pink Ranger, the one who is designated as the leader. She will help train you into becoming the perfect defender of the planet."
With the green device leaving the same way as it had entered, Chika left without stating a word. She knew that the police force was not going to do anything about a woman being asked to join a Ranger's program, so she didn't have to worry about being fired. Really, all that was left was to go and meet up with this Pink Ranger so that she could have an excuse to actually protect other civillians.
Besides, as a leader of a Sentai group Pink couldn't be that bad of a person... right?  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
