DAITA OIWA

Page Six

He sits down and starts eating it. Bronze Mask enters the room and tells Daita, that he is glad Daita likes the curry. Still eating, Daita asks, where's Taro? Bronze Mask replies, he's not here. If you want Taro back, bring back the bomb detonator. Bronze Mask hands Daita a piece of paper and tells him to take the bomb detonator to this location. Daita agrees. Bronze Mask warns, if you don't bring it within 30 minutes...consider the child dead! Daita grabs two more bites of curry and tells Bronze Mask to wait. Daita hurries out of the building. Moments later, the Gorengers head out on their Machines. Soon, Ki Ranger arrives at the location. He tells Bronze Mask that he has brought the detonator. Bronze Mask tells the scientist to get the detonator. Ki Ranger passes the detonator to the scientist. The scientist looks over the detonator and then brings it over to Bronze Mask. He tells Bronze Mask, no doubt this is it. Ki Ranger demands they return Taro. Bronze Mask replies, sure. He's over there. Bronze Mask moves aside and sitting in the truck is "Taro". Ki Ranger hurries over to the truck. But when he goes to grab "Taro", he discovers it's a dummy. Ki Ranger calls Bronze Mask a liar. Bronze Mask thanks him for the bomb. Bronze Mask uses his blowgun, but hits the dummy instead of Ki Ranger. Ki Ranger tosses the dummy aside and begins fighting the Zolders. Bronze Mask instructs the scientist to plant the bomb. Ki Ranger flips over a Zolder and then lands a punch on it's chest. The scientist places the detonator into the missile. Bronze Mask fights Ki Ranger. Ki Ranger manages to avoid being hit by Bronze Mask's staff. Suddenly Aka Ranger, Momo Ranger, Mido Ranger, and Ao Ranger arrive. Ki Ranger leaps over and joins the rest of the Gorengers. Bronze Mask calls them fools. The Gorengers and Bronze Mask and several Zolders face each other. Aka Ranger asks, where's Taro? Bronze Mask replies, inside the bomb. His face peering out of a small window in the bomb, Taro pleads for help. Bronze Mask announces the bomb will detonate in five minutes! Save him if you can! Bronze Mask gives the Zolders the order to attack. Aka Ranger kicks away a Zolder. Momo Ranger also kicks a Zolder away. Aka Ranger lands a chop against a Zolder's rib cage. Aka Ranger holds the Zolder as Momo Ranger punches it. Aka Ranger instructs Momo Ranger to defuse the bomb. Momo Ranger fights off another Zolder as she hurries over to the bomb. Ki Ranger is already there, trying to figure it out. Momo Ranger tells him to leave it to her. Ki Ranger agrees. As Momo Ranger works on the bomb, Ki Ranger fights off any Zolder approaching the bomb. Ao Ranger lands a flying kick against a Zolder. Mido Ranger kicks another Zolder. Aka Ranger uses his Red Vute to wrap around a Zolder's neck and flips it over. Aka Ranger uses his Red Vute to fling another Zolder into the air. Ao Ranger uses his Blue Cherry to fire at the Zolder. Another group of Zolders, carrying swords, chase after Ao Ranger. Ao Ranger jumps into a ditch and then fires at the Zolders chasing him. Aka Ranger leaps in and fights the remaining Zolders with his Red Vute. Momo Ranger continues to work on the detonator, although there is not much time left. Mido Ranger uses his Midomerang to knock two Zolders off their feet. Ki Ranger hurries over to Momo Ranger. The rest of the Gorengers also arrive and they are all surprised to see the dial moving on it's own. They all hear a flute and see that Bronze Mask is playing it. Ao Ranger concludes that the bomb is controlled with Bronze Mask's flute. Bronze Mask warns them, another minute and this field will be dust! The Zolders fire at the Gorengers. Mido Ranger uses his double kick to knock out two Zolders. Ao Ranger fights Bronze Mask. He tosses Bronze Mask to the side and Aka Ranger punches him several times. Ao Ranger lands several punches as well. Ki Ranger joins in and flips Bronze Mask. Bronze Mask goes flying and lands hard in the field. Ao Ranger fires his Blue Cherry at Bronze Mask. Bronze Mask immediately uses his shield to protect himself. Mido Ranger tells Ao Ranger to leave it to him. Mido Ranger flings his Midomerang towards Bronze Mask. Bronze Mask is suddenly inside a bronze jar and the Midomerang bounces off of it. Ki Ranger, Ao Ranger, and Mido Ranger just stare at the bronze jar for a moment. Then Ki Ranger tells them, leave it to me! Ki Ranger lifts the very heavy bronze jar and shouts you can't hide! Aka Ranger calls out for Gorenger Storm. Momo Ranger picks up the silver ball as Ki Ranger throws the bronze jar. Momo Ranger kicks the silver ball. Ki Ranger hits the silver ball with his helmet. Mido Ranger kicks the silver ball over to Ao Ranger. Ao Ranger kicks over the silver ball to Aka Ranger. Aka Ranger flies up and kicks the silver ball over to the bronze jar. Gorenger Storm hits the bronze jar and there is a large explosion. Bronze Mask stumbles for a bit before exploding. Afterwards, Daita, Tsuyoshi, Akira, Kenji, and Peggy return to their base. Tsuyoshi tells the group, if they were five seconds late, not only them, but Taro would have been blown up. Daita agrees. The doors to where their Machines are kept open and standing inside is Yoko, Tomoko, and Haruko. Daita, Akira, Kenji, Peggy, and Tsuyoshi are very surprised and more so when cook steps out in a military uniform. Commander tells them they did a good job. Peggy states, I knew it. Daita asks about the girls. Commander introduces them as his bodyguards and messengers. He steps aside as Yoko steps forward and tells them she is EAGLE Headquarters Agent 007, Yoko Katou. Tomoko steps forward and introduces herself as Agent 008 Tomoko Hayashi. Haruko steps forward and tells them she is Agent 009, Haruko Nakamura. Tsuyoshi thanks them for their work. Akira tells them, I look forward to working with you all. Commander reminds Daita that his tab is excessive. Pay up later. Daita replies that he will pay up later. I think I'm eating a little too much! Everyone laughs. Daita adds, your curry is just too good. Later, the Gorengers patrol in their Machines. They all wonder what Black Cross Army will do next.

Commander Edogawa enters the Gorenger Secret Base. He tells Daita, Tsuyoshi, Akira, and Kenji that the mold found on the victim's body changes the cell structure of human skin. (The scientist had collapse in front of Peggy and she had taken him to a hospital.) The Black Cross Army is planning another conspiracy. Their job is to, Daita finishes the sentence, research. Kenji adds, at Dr. Muto's laboratory. Daita and Kenji quickly leave. They arrive at the laboratory and a man tells them that Dr. Muto is out on a scientific conference in Europe. Daita asks if the laboratory is closed? The man replies that it's closed for the week. Kenji asks if a young lady had visited asking for a mold analysis? The man tells them she had came two hours ago but has already left. Kenji thinks she may have gone to another lab. After thanking the man, they both leave. Not having any success, Daita and Kenji go to Snack Shop Gon. Daita and Kenji sit at the counter. Akira is playing the guitar for Taro as Cook and Yoko work. Cook hands Daita a bowl of curry. Yoko asks him, how can you eat curry and rice all the time? Daita replies he is a bit hungry. Taro walks over to Daita and pats him on the back. Taro then asks Daita a riddle. Daita tells Taro he is not in the mood for riddles, he is worried. Cook teases him, but you have time to eat. Akira tells them, it's emotional eating, which embarrasses Daita. Kenji offers to teach Taro another riddle. Tomoko and Haruko enter and walk up to the counter.
