ZOLDERS

Page Eighteen

The chauffeured car takes off. The two followed the car on their Machines. The chauffeur has noticed that the two have taken the bait. The chauffeur is actually a Zolder and contacts other Zolders to let them know to move immediately to Operation Coffin. A couple of Zolders put road construction signs on the road that point to a detour. Daita and Tsuyoshi take the detour. Eventually they reach a graveyard. Suddenly several candles appear and a voice tells them, I'm glad you've made it. Suddenly the candles began to spark and Tsuyoshi and Daita take cover as an explosion takes place. A couple of Zolders search for the pair. Aka Ranger uses his Silver Shot and fires on the Zolders. Ki Ranger fights another pair of Zolders. Aka Ranger uses his Red Vute against another set of Zolders. Ki Ranger joins in and strikes one of the Zolders. The Zolders are defeated. Skull Mask appears before them and delivers the warning that Japan shall perish. Instead the Gorengers stop Skull Mask's plan to blow up the nuclear plant. But Skull Mask hasn't given up. At Professor Shirataki's home, a messenger rings the doorbell. Peggy answers. The messenger states he is with Speed Messenger. Might Professor Shirataki be at home? Peggy responds, he is currently at the laboratory. The strange messenger tells Peggy, in that case...once he returns home...would you please present him with this? He hands over a large envelope that Peggy takes. The messenger (a Zolder) leaves. Skull Mask is close by and states the record serves as a receiver for the hypnotic air-waves I transmit. Peggy, Daita, and Tsuyoshi were able to stop Professor Shirataki from being hypnotize. The three cannot be hypnotize and put a plan into action. Daita, dressed as elderly gentleman, leaves Professor Skirataki's home. Daita walks over to the waiting car and goes into the back seat. The chauffeur closes the door and enters the drivers seat. The chauffeur takes off in the car. Meanwhile, A cook is slicing bones apart. The creepy cook bakes the powered bones with sulfuric acid. He then adds in some of the special Skull X Formula. The cook pours the liquid into a clear container. The cook offers it to Skull Mask, to sample it's flavor. Skull Mask agrees to sample it. After a sip, Skull Mask tells the cook, in order to encourage separation, we must add more acid. The cook gets quickly to work to enhance the recipe. Cook believes the additional acid will make Skull Soup truly excellent. Cook (a Zolder) grins and laughs and takes a backward glance at Skull Mask. Skull Mask watches the procedure and he likes what he sees. A car pulls up to a home and Daita exits the vehicle. An older man, greets Daita, referring to Daita as the eminent genius, Professor Shirataki. The man asks for the secret phrase and Daita responds immediately with the correct phrase. The man directs Daita to the entrance. After they have left, the chauffeur reveals that he is a Zolder. Daita follows the gentleman into the home, where a feast is laid out on a table. Other professors are there as well. The gentleman introduces Daita to the group of men - Professor Shirataki, Master of Rocket Engineering. Daita immediately recognizes Professor Kirayama, Professor Kiyozaki, and Professor Ohtsuka. Soon a lovely young woman enters the room. The gentleman asks Daita if he would like to dance with the young woman? Daita replies, that would be pleasant. I happen to love dances. The two bowed to each other. Daita dances with the young woman. As they are dancing, the other Professors leave the room. Daita considers himself lucky not to have to eat the bones. The young woman tells Daita that she loves riddles and asks for a riddle. Daita cannot think of one, so instead she asks him, who is one who loves curry? Daita thinks to himself, that's me! Things just got dangerous. Daita replies, my lady is the one who loves curry. The young woman is impressed and asks Daita if he likes her? Daita replies, but of course. They are kissing when the young woman reveals herself to be Skull Mask. Daita is grossed out and quickly breaks away. The gentleman grabs Daita and knows that he is Ki Ranger. He rips off Daita's disguise and pushes him aside. He then reveals himself to be a Zolder. Skull Mask grabs a hold of Daita. Daita is tossed across the table. Skull Mask curses Daita out and then strikes him on his back with his staff. Daita is tied up and tossed into a bunker with a cell. Daita becomes alarmed and knows he needs to contact Tsuyoshi. Daita taps the bottom of his shoe, which has a communication device attached. Tsuyoshi receives the signal. Kenji and Peggy arrive and fight some of the Zolders staying guard. Quietly, Tsuyoshi follows a Zolder and then taps it on the shoulder. When the Zolder turns around, Tsuyoshi gives it a hard hit. The door burst opens and Tsuyoshi, Peggy, and Kenji enter. They quickly fight the Zolders inside. Daita is very happy to see them. Tsuyoshi faces "Professor Kiyozaki" and Daita informs him, it's Skull Mask. A Zolder leaps in front of Tsuyoshi and Tsuyoshi quickly fights it. Daita head butts the Zolder as well. "Professor Kiyozaki" leaves and Daita informs them that he's going to start a huge earthquake over the Artificial Earthquake Laboratory. The remaining professors are released. Tsuyoshi, Kenji, Peggy, and Daita head outside where Variblune is waiting for them. Variblune soon catches up to Skull Mask and the Gorengers fly out. Skull Mask is very angry. Skull Mask has several Zolders attack the Gorengers. Aka Ranger fights two Zolders using well placed kicks. Ao Ranger kicks another Zolder. He lands several punches on another Zolder. Momo Ranger strikes a Zolder with several quick hits. Ki Ranger lands several punches on a Zolder. He tosses another Zolder aside. Mido Ranger kicks another Zolder. Aka Ranger battles another batch of Zolders. He uses his Red Vute and strikes the Zolders with it. Another set of Zolders leap down towards him and he knocks them out with his Red Vute. Ao Ranger leaps down. He strikes a Zolder several times. He uses his Blue Cherry and hits a Zolder with it. Mido Ranger leaps down as well. Several Zolders are running towards Mido Ranger. He uses his Midomerang and knocks some of them down. He fights another Zolder with his Midomerang. Momo Ranger strikes another Zolder. She kicks another Zolder away. Ki Ranger fights another Zolder. He distracts the Zolder and then punches him. He uses the same tactic on another Zolder. Momo Ranger kicks another Zolder away.
