KENJI ASUKA

Page Thirteen

Unfortunately, Black Cross Army is successful and have attacked and harmed Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott is taken to a hospital. Mr. Scott struggles as he lays in a hospital bed. The doctor examines him and doesn't have much hope. Kenji and Tsuyoshi are in the room and ask about an antidote. The doctor replies there is none. The doctor tells them the snake that bit Mr. Scott is called a super cobra. A venomous new species gotten from crossbreeding a king cobra and a boa. You could look all over Tokyo and not find a super cobra serum. Kenji asks, where should we go? The doctor tells them, the closest location is the Izu Snake Center. However, you'd need the serum in less than an hour. It's impossible. Tsuyoshi is confident they can get the serum in less than an hour. Tsuyoshi contacts Akira and Daita and tells them to go to the Izu Snake Center and bring the antidote. Mr. Scott is having a hard time. The doctor is still with him, as is Kenji and Tsuyoshi. A nurse is there as well. Tsuyoshi asks the doctor to please wait just ten more minutes. The doctor replies, I'll do what I can, but without the serum...Mr. Scott mutters his daughter's name over and over. Soon, Tsuyoshi contacts Commander Edogawa and tells him he wants to have Amy (Amy had been found earlier) come to the hospital. In order to encourage Mr. Scott until the serum arrives, those two will have to meet. Commander Edogawa replies, understood. Blue and Yellow got the serum. They're heading over. The doctor has overheard the conversation and he is relived. Thank goodness. We could make it. Mr. Scott continues to mutter his daughter's name. Kenji and Tsuyoshi keep a close eye on him. Peggy enters the room, pulling a reluctant Amy along. Yoko enters behind them. Amy hears her father mutter her name and tries not to be swayed. Tsuyoshi tells her to talk to her dad. Amy refuses. Yoko gets upset and tells Amy, this right here is your father! Peggy receives a message and passes it to the others - the serum will get here in two or three more minutes. Everyone is happy until the doctor tells them, we might not have two or three minutes. Amy reconsiders her actions. Tsuyoshi notices and tells her, your father...he left you and your mother and returned to his home country, all in order to complete a thesis instrumental to world peace. He came to Japan this time to take you back with him. Even if you still say you won't forgive your father, that's fine. But if you could save a single foreigner, then just call his name. Amy stares at her father a little more kindly. The doctor suddenly becomes alarmed and tells the group, we won't make it. This moves Amy to take action and she calls out to her father. The "doctor" enters the room and tells them the serum is here. Amy pleads for them to hurry and save her father. The "doctor" is about to inject Mr. Scott with the "serum" when Tsuyoshi stops him. The "doctor" asks, what are you doing? Tsuyoshi doesn't answer, just strikes the "doctor". The "doctor" turns into a Zolder. Tsuyoshi fights the Zolder as another Zolder enters the room. Kenji, Peggy, Yoko, and Amy back away, their backs against a window. Poison Fang Mask breaks the window and pulls Amy through the window. Kenji and Peggy are busy fighting the Zolders. Once the serum is delivered, they take off to search for Amy. Poison Fang Mask leads the way as the Zolders pull Amy along. Amy pleads with them to let her see her father, as he is going to die. The group stops when they see Aka Ranger above them. Mido Ranger, Ao Ranger, Ki Ranger, and Momo Ranger are there as well. Amy is very happy to see the Gorengers. Poison Fang Mask has the Zolders attack. Aka Ranger fights a couple of Zolders. He flips one over a ledge. Ao Ranger kicks a Zolder. He uses his Blue Cherry and hits a Zolder. Ki Ranger fights another group of Zolders, tossing one of them over a ledge. Mido Ranger punches a Zolder several times in the face. Momo Ranger kicks a Zolder. Aka Ranger uses his Red Vute to strike another Zolder. When the Zolder stumbles in Momo Ranger's direction, she strikes him. Mido Ranger throws his Midomerang towards Poison Fang Mask. Poison Fang Mask knocks it aside with his staff. The rest of the Gorengers join Mido Ranger. Poison Fang Mask throws his snake bombs towards them. The Gorengers duck down and are not hurt. The Gorengers approach Poison Fang Mask and Poison Fang Mask backs away, along with the two Zolders who still have Amy. Aka Ranger tells Poison Fang Mask to give Amy back. Instead Poison Fang Mask uses his staff to create poison smoke and vanishes, along with the Zolders and Amy. Momo Ranger spots them in the distance and points it out to the others. They all run over to the area. When they reach the area, they see Amy is tied to stake with snakes. Amy spots them and yells for help. Momo Ranger warns the rest of the Gorengers not to get close. Those are no ordinary snakes. Ki Ranger asks, what are they? Momo Ranger replies, I saw them before...those are bombs. Poison Fang Mask pops up from his hiding place. He has overheard their conversation and tells them, they're Snake Bombs. They explode to the sound of this snake whistle. If you want to save this girl, then bring Mr. Scott over here. In exchange for Mr. Scott, I'll hand this girl over to you. If you don't comply...Poison Fang Mask indicates he will blow his snake whistle. Aka Ranger states, we have no choice. Ao Ranger doesn't agree. Aka Ranger turns his back towards Poison Fang Mask and takes out his Red Vute. Aka Ranger quickly turns around and uses his Red Vute to take the snake whistle out of Poison Fang Mask's hands. The Gorengers run forwards. Mido Ranger and Momo Ranger remove the Snake Bombs from Amy. Poison Fang Mask picks up his snake whistle and blows it. Momo Ranger and Mido Ranger quickly toss the Snake Bombs. The Snake Bombs land on two Zolders. The Snake Bombs go off, destroying the two Zolders. Poison Fang Mask is angry. The Gorengers summon Gorenger Storm. The Gorengers get into position. The silver ball appears in Momo Ranger's hands. She kicks it over to Ki Ranger. Ki Ranger head butts it over to Ao Ranger. Ao Ranger kicks it over to Mido Ranger. Mido Ranger kicks it over to Aka Ranger. Aka Ranger leaps into the sky and kicks it over to Poison Fang Mask. Gorenger Storm hits Poison Fang Mask and destroys him. Afterwards, at Snack Shop Gon, Cook gives Daita his favorite dish. Daita tells Cook, it looks delicious, thanks for the food. Kenji, Tsuyoshi, and Peggy are sitting at the counter as well as Daita. Akira and Yoko join the group. Everyone is in high spirits and smiling. Peggy excitedly wonders if Amy's over there yet. Cook tells the group, right about now, she should be eating her first meal in her father's country. They all agree. Tsuyoshi states, there's no watering down a parent and child's bond. Akira playfully places a snake on the counter. Daita freaks out, believing it to be a super cobra. They all tease Daita, as it is only a rubber snake. Tsuyoshi grabs a hold of the snake and teases Peggy with it. Peggy gives a small scream. Kenji takes the snake from Tsuyoshi and scares Yoko with it. Afterwards, the Gorengers patrol on their Machines. They feel good that they were able to safely protect Mr. Scott. They also wonder what kind of scheme will the Black Cross Army be hatching next?

Daita and Tsuyoshi were captured by Witch Mask. Kenji, along with Akira and Peggy, were on Variblune to rescue them. Variblune prepares for takeoff. Akira decides to use the Blue Smoke shading strategy. Kenji and Peggy agree to the plan. They fly towards the fortress. Tsuyoshi and Daita are tied to railings outside the building. Zolders have the Freeze Beam Bazooka (which was stolen from EAGLE) pointed at the sky as Witch Mask also watches. A scientist is also there with a device to track Variblune. His device picks up the signal and he lets them know that Variblune is coming. Variblune gets closer and Peggy activates Blue Smoke. Blue Smoke is pouring out of Variblune. Witch Mask yells, I won't let you escape this time! Variblune flies through the Blue Smoke. In frustration, Witch Mask orders the Zolders to fire. They do so and Witch Mask becomes more frustrated when Variblune doesn't fall from the skies. Witch Mask orders the Zolders to shoot the missile. Black Cross Army's artillery towers fire at Variblune. Variblune remains untouched and Akira laughs. Witch Mask can't believe it. Kenji, Peggy, and Akira transform and using their Birdies fly out of Variblune. Witch Mask decides if she can't destroyed all of the Gorengers, she can at least destroy the two she has. She tells the Zolders to get rid of those two. Before they can fire, a loud voice shouts wait - it is Ao Ranger. Ao Ranger lands and kicks a couple of the Zolders. Witch Mask notices that Momo Ranger and Mido Ranger are in front of Tsuyoshi and Daita. The two Gorengers quickly untie Tsuyoshi and Daita. Tsuyoshi and Daita transform into Aka Ranger and Ki Ranger. The five Gorengers gather together. Witch Mask, once more, orders the Zolders to fire at them. Ao Ranger shouts no! He pulls out his controller and has Variblune drop down it's clamp and attaches to the Freeze Beam Bazooka. Variblune then lifts the bazooka away. The Gorengers run towards Witch Mask. Witch Mask orders the Zolders to get them! Ao Ranger kicks another set of Zolders. Momo Ranger blocks a move from Zolder. Aka Ranger lands several punches on a Zolder. Ki Ranger punches a Zolder and then tosses it aside. Aka Ranger knocks a Zolder off it's feet with his Red Vute. Mido Ranger strikes a Zolder several times. Ao Ranger outmaneuvers a Zolder, then punches it, and tosses it aside. Momo Ranger flips a Zolder. Aka Ranger uses his Red Vute to strike a Zolder. Ao Ranger uses his Blue Cherry to fire at a Zolder. Mido Ranger uses his Midomerang to strike a couple of Zolders. Ki Ranger lands several quick punches on a Zolder. Finishing off the Zolders, the Gorengers face down Witch Mask. Witch Mask uses it's broom to shoot several fire bombs at the Gorengers. The Gorengers manage to outmaneuver them all. Aka Ranger calls for Gorenger Storm. Momo Ranger turns around and a pink ball appears in her hands. She places the pink ball on the ground and kicks it over to Ki Ranger. When it reaches Ki Ranger, the ball has turned yellow. Ki Ranger head butts the ball towards Ko Ranger. On the way to Ko Ranger, the ball turns blue. Ao Ranger kicks the ball over to Mido Ranger. Once more the ball changes color, this time to green. Mido Ranger kicks the green ball high - over to Aka Ranger. The ball changes one last time. It is now spikey and red. Aka Ranger leaps into up and kicks the ball towards Witch Mask. The ball strikes Witch Mask in the head and destroys her.
