7 | "Quick to the Trigger" is a {{Crossover}} fanfic between [[Franchise/PowerRangers Power Rangers]] and [[Franchise/KamenRider Kamen Rider]]. It starts off the night before the opening of a big exhibit in the Los Angeles Musem of History and a strange benefactor has asked the [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Silver City Guardians]] to guard it. The find revolves around the discovery of a humongous Serpent skeleton found in the Sahara desert. On the same day as the exhibit's grand opening, there's a book signing by the famous paleontologist [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Dr. Thomas "Tommy" Oliver]] being held in [[Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight Grace's Books]]. Unfortunately, when Tommy Oliver is about to make his speech, he collapses and a strange boy takes Dr. Oliver's body away. Not long after, a [[Series/KamenRiderDenO train shaped like a giant bull]] arrives with warnings of a great danger up ahead. |

9 | It turns out that in the very distant future, a boy known as [[Series/KamenRiderFourze Gentaro Kisaragi]] somehow awakens from his slumber and plunges the Earth into chaos. Dr. Oliver is related to this madness, alongside the giant twin-headed snake flying across the city and the events that would cause Earth to become a living hell. |

11 | The story is being written by Green Phantom Queen, known for her other well-known work, ''FanFic/{{Horseshoes and Hand Grenades}}''. The story fits within Horseshoe's timeline, but aside from references and a few characters mentioned, the story can be read as a separate piece of work, although the multiple references only make sense if one actually has read the fics involved. |
12 | ---- |
13 | |
14 | !!Quick to the Trigger provides examples of: |
15 | * AlliterativeTitle: Dr. Oliver's book is known as ''Serpentine Stories: The Myths of the Sacred Serpents''. |
16 | * BadFuture: What happened when Gentaro wakes up later on. |
17 | * CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:[[Series/PowerRangersZeo David Trueheart]]]] |
18 | * ContinuityNod: Maya reads one of [=SplitxEnd=]'s messages regarding Gentaro's death. |
19 | * {{Crossover}}: On the Power Rangers side we have [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Time Force]] and [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Dino Thunder]] representatives. For the Kamen Riders we have [[Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight Dragon Knight]] and [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Den-O]], with more to come from the looks of it. |
20 | * DeadpanSnarker: Tommy. |
21 | * EarlyBirdCameo[=/=]LateArrivalSpoiler: Varies. It's an EarlyBirdCameo due to many characters coming from the future, but a LateArrivalSpoiler because of how the stories were published. For example: [[spoiler: Hayato is revealed to be a future Shun Daimonji resurrected by Vasuki, but Shun himself doesn't become a Serpent-bearer until the 13th chapter of ''Horseshoes and Hand-Grenades''. ''Quick to the Trigger'' starts on a Tuesday--Shun dies three days later.]] |
22 | * {{Epigraph}}: Just like in Horseshoes. |
23 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: The end of the first chapter has the voice in the stranger's head mentioning that "We don't want this little ''trip'' to end in disaster." [[spoiler: The next chapter reveals that the stranger is [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Trip]]]]. |
24 | * HeroesOfAnotherStory: Back in ''Horseshoes and Hand-Grenades'', Owner mentioned how Ryotaro, Kotaro and Yuto were off fixing some stuff in the past. This is what they've been doing. |
25 | * HeroicBystander: Maya, throwing a book at the "strange person" (later revealed as [[spoiler: Trip]]) from getting away. |
26 | * IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each chapter is called 'Trigger' and each chapter name is a phrase or song starting with the last word(s) from the previous chapter, similar to ''Horseshoes and Hand-Grenades'' and ''A Month of Sundays''. |
27 | * ItsALongStory: The dialogue in the second chapter. |
28 | -->'''Ethan:''' Ventara? What type of strange world is that? |
29 | -->'''Kit:''' Long, long story. |
30 | ** Teddy also gets into this during the WriteBackToTheFuture situation. |
31 | * MythologyGag: |
32 | ** Tommy still has his old [[Series/PowerRangersZeo arrowhead pendant]]. Ethan also makes references to Tommy's archives on former Power Ranger teams upon meeting Wes and Eric. |
33 | ** Kotaro is depicted with blond hair, just like in ''Let's Go Kamen Riders''. |
34 | * {{Necromancer}}: Hayato when he revived [[spoiler: David Truehart]], although he states that it wasn't easy to do. |
35 | * NoodleIncident: Hayato's necromancy was apparently so horrible that Yuto almost swore to eat nothing but shitake mushrooms for the rest of his life. |
36 | * OneSteveLimit: Averted with Trent Fernandez-Mercer (Dino Thunder) and Trent Mosley (Dragon Knight). |
37 | * SarcasmBlind: [[spoiler: Vasuki]] upon reacting to Tommy's comment. |
38 | -->'''Tommy:''' ''(Upon learning that his death had been delayed)'' Oh, I'm so flattered. |
39 | -->'''[[spoiler:Vasuki]]:''' You should be. [[spoiler: You would've been the main general of the Armed Forces of Ouroboros.]] |
40 | * ShoutOut: The beginning of the third chapter has Kira singing [[Series/SoWeird "In The Darkness"]] and she and Maya brings up Fiona Philip's old paranormal website. |
41 | * ThatManIsDead: Hayato, who insist that he gave up his original name [[spoiler: Shun Daimonji]] a long time ago. |
42 | * ThrowTheBookAtThem: Maya does this to the stranger in the second chapter. |
