Epic 34: Everyone is Screwed, No Exceptions

(When we left off in the last installment, the tendrils capture Rika, and she doesn't resist at all. Darkness overtakes her...)

(Radiguet notices that the Eldritch being has arrived, and he watches from the screen)

Radiguet: Yes...yes! The plan succeeded!

(Rika is now controlled by the Eldritch, and her body takes on a half-human, half-monster appearance. Her arms and legs are replaced by tendrils, and her eyes are whited out)

Rika. The All-Stars are too late to save you. Now, they will bow down to you in fear!

Eldritch!Rika: (in a Voice of the Legion) Yes...I know what I must do.

(with one of the tendrils, Rika turns to Tranza, who's just absolutely frightened, and she zaps him with electricity)

Tranza: Rika! Snap out of it! I beg you...

Radiguet: SILENCE! Your days with her made you grow soft, Tranza...remember the days where you used to be so ruthless in getting the throne? Because I have. All too clear. Now, what have you done to yourself? Ah, yes, getting tortured!

Tranza: Because I know what she went through...it's unforgivable, Radiguet! Your treatment, all this time, has been despicable! EVEN FOR ME!

Radiguet: ...no matter. Rika! Kill him.

(as Eldritch!Rika charges up another thunderbolt...Radiguet makes one fatal mistake.)

...besides. Her fate's already sealed. As soon as she kills Tranza, and the All-Stars...and my own enemies...

I'll kill her and take the Eldritch's powers. THEN I WILL RULE THE WORLD, AND THEY WILL FEAR ME AS A GOD FOR HUMANITY!

(unfortunately for him, the Eldritch—the one controlling Rika, not the liveblogger herself—overhears Radiguet, and she stops.)

Eldritch: Huh?!

(Rika ceases the lightning bolt on Tranza...and instead strikes at Radiguet. Don't ask how she managed to do that)

Radiguet: What are you doing? I was your servant!

Eldritch!Rika: And yet, you've been so ungrateful...seriously. Killing me. You haven't changed a bit, Radiguet. It's a shame, too...

I think that's quite enough of that.

(Eldritch!Rika makes the screen for her go blank, and Radiguet roars)

Radiguet: ...no. Matter. The Scouts are still dead.

(he grabs the Time Crystal, and he puts it away in a glass case)

If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself. And after the All-Stars, Rika will still fall. Then the Eldritch will find out who's the real boss!


(with Eldritch!Rika and Tranza...)

Tranza: ...please...don't kill me...

Eldritch!Rika: Who said I was going to kill you? You did help the girl. Besides...I feel that there's a small spark for her. A spark of hope...and yet, she doesn't realize it at all.

(the Eldritch stops controlling Rika, and she groans. She isn't transformed back into a human, a side effect...)

Rika: ...what...happened? (she looks at herself) And what happened to me?

Eldritch: You fell into despair. As per the rules, I controlled you. If it wasn't for Radiguet being a moron and telling what he wanted to do all along...it wouldn't have been a happy ending. Even I thought it was unfair!

Rika: ...what did he do?

Eldritch: He wanted to kill you and take my powers. After everything I've done for him, too! Made sure he was fully revived!

Rika: Seriously?!

Eldritch: Yes...it was just so horrible, I stopped.

Rika: ...

(she doesn't know what to say)

Now I'm scared as hell.

Eldritch: Don't be. You survived worse. You nearly survived through a horrible fanfic!

Rika: ...oh, that piece of shit? Forgot I still had that.

Eldritch: Yes. You have two chapters left. Rika! You and Tranza go forth! I'll stay here if Radiguet ever tries to attack you.

Rika: Uh...thanks.

Eldritch: It's no problem...I love your work, anyway.

(the Eldritch chuckles, and she slithers to the ground. Rika tries to use the tablet with her tendrils, but can't quite do it)

Rika: ...dammit. Tranza? A little help?

Tranza: Certainly. So where were we?

Rika: ...do you really want for me to recap that piece of shit? Really, all they know is that terrible stuff happened, souls were destroyed, and...also, Gokai!Gai appeared somewhere.

I'd rather focus on the present. Let's leave the past behind!

Tranza: ...

Even with—

Rika: Yes...even so. I'm sure that even the six All-Stars wouldn't want for me to be sad.

(if only she knew...)

So let's continue with...

(flip!)

Chapter 34: The USSPRA's Gruesome Dilemma!

The chapter begins, as it almost always does, with an Author's Note. Here, Akizuki says that he'll get better, with practice and more patience. And that it's always best to wrap things up before another arc begins.

(Rika bursts out laughing)

Let me count the ways on just how wrong this statement is. First, we still don't have an explanation as to why (most of?) the Rangers are speaking Japanese. Or where the hell the Time Crystal disappeared to. Secondly...what we'll see next will say it all, to be honest.

Here, he removed the Ranger Keys arc, as it did not quite work out. For a recap on what it was, the Ranger Keys arc was about the Rangers visiting the past Sentai teams in order to get the titular keys. And they actually transformed into them. Seriously. Oh, and it gets better, that arc completely downplayed the existence, the very essence, of the Gokaigers in the first damn place!

...

There's changing the source material slightly while still trying to remain faithful to the original, there's completely changing said material (for better or worse), and then there's...this. Seriously, just how in the hell would they actually transform without the damn Mobirates? You know, the one henshin device actually needed for the Ranger Keys to, you know, work?

(Rika pauses)

Oh, and one more thing, that fic was written when Akizuki was drunk after a barbeque dinner. Kids, don't drink and write, it'll cause you to write fanfic arcs that don't make a lot of sense.

This chapter—in fact, this arc—is said to be a lot darker than anything else, and it is a continuation of...(Rika sighs)..."Another Gai Appears". If the chapter isn't as soul-crushing, I would have loved to tear it apart.

But what can you do? (shrugs)

Finally...Akizuki's in a writer's block right now, so he's welcoming suggestions. I really hope he doesn't steal any ideas from what I'm saying. And speaking of, to crush his hopes to get better with practice? He's ripping off another fucking plot! This time, it's the worms plot from ChrisX's Super Sentai vs. Super Sentai story.

...

Okay, that's, like, about three things you ripped off from that fanfic series, Akizuki. I think it's time for you to admit that your fanfic isn't as original as it's supposed to be.

We begin this chapter at the New Skybase, where J!Gai is playing his saxophone. His memories filled with the last mission, he swears vengeance. And apparentally, as he's playing the sax, he's smoking at the same time. Lolwut.

J!Ryu enters, explaining to him that he's slowly returning to his womanizing ways, and he got drunk last night. And that's no good. I'm not sure if I should be happy that he's starting to get his old characterization, or...not. :/

The two talk about the last mission, and J!Gai thinks about attacking the villains' base. J!Ryu declines, saying that it would be reckless. And they go on and on about how the mission's such a huge blow to them. I'm pretty sure it'll all be cleared up, like, soon.

In the U.A.O.E, RINO is thinking of ways to break the USSPRA even further. You see, we're told that the evil waves' side effects would be traumatic, buuuuut...(shrugs) And he thinks about using Shizuka in a plan to off the USSPRA, since he considers her a failure. Dude, what the hell.

Basco's team return from scouting, and they reveal that the Extra Heroes are in a recovery center, headed by Master Sha-Fu and Gorie Yen. Long gets pissed off, and RINO tells them that they must figure out a plan to, and I quote, "demolish that stupid USSPRA".

...look. I know that they're not the most heroic of, well, heroes. But...did RINO just call them "stupid"? Is that even in-character for him? It's making him sound brattier.

...

Sorry.

RINO and Basco argue for a bit, until the former watches some footage from Buredoran. The footage? Jasmine in civvie wear. And he declares her to be his next victim.

You have got to be kidding me. I mean, I shouldn't be surprised, but come on. This fic is getting to be a hell of a lot disturbing by the minute, especially with RINO's lust for girls who Akizuki himself also likes!

And now for a random fact that'll blow your minds: Jasmine's actress, Ayumi Kinoshita, is the original voice for Aki in Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's. BAM!

Tranza: ...why did you say that? (is shaking)

Rika: In the hopes to deter Akizuki from loving Jasmine.

(she doesn't want to admit that she doesn't know whether or not Akizuki even watched any Yu-Gi-Oh episodes)

So Shizuka enters, and while she's not grasping at memories that are there or not...it's just as stupid as Mikoto's returning memories arc, okay?...she has this to say.

Shizuka: "Ha! Radiguet! You really think you would succeed? You are but all talk. Although my memories are still a blur, I can never be yours. Pepepetopet! And too bad lover boy, you're not Kimberly's type."

...you know, Shizuka, you can really stop with the "pepepetopet" thing. I mean, I get that it's your tic, like a certain doll saying "DESU!", or whatever. And what's with all the talk about love? Ah, screw it. We're almost done with this story, so it's not worth worrying about pointless shit now.

RINO bashes Shizuka with his powers. Dude, seriously?! He tells her not to mock him, as he has a plan to trap the "heroes". Also, more shit about love.

...

I haven't pointed that out in the last chapter. But when one of the USSPRA guys said that the villains are getting even more subtle...hate to say this, but with their bigger plans, they're just painting bigger targets onto themselves.

And I doubt that they're getting smarter, either.

After a scene with the Extra Heroes and the Gokaigers trying to relieve their stress, and Gorie Yen talking to the Gekirangers, we see the Extra Heroes doing some activities. Makino's team are also helping out, as well as Cole.

...oh dear God. (headdesks)

The Extra Heroes talk about the activites, and—

Hiroto: "But still I feel bad for all the people we killed and all the bad things we said against each other."

...did Hiroto actually talk about...

...

What did I say again about the murdered civilians?

Tranza: Something to the effect of not mourning them.

Rika: That's right! Well, good, I don't care if Hiruto Hiroto is bland as hell, having someone acknowledge that major bit is appreciated.

This is what I'd like to see. The heroes realizing just how badly things went with the mission, not sure if they want to become Rangers (or Sentai Warriors) again. Especially if there are dead people involved. But over time, they would realize that the deceased don't want them to be sad...

(Rika then remembers what she said earlier about the Scouts)

...

(she gives a nod)

Hopefully they rest in peace.

But hey. Let's ruin whatever goodwill this is occurring with some stupid shit! Specifically, Tetsu being rather rough on Jasmine, telling her to get lost, and shoving her aside. Dude, I don't care if you're tainted by the evils, just what the hell is your problem?

...and how much do you want to bet that this won't get mentioned ever again? Making it all terribly pointless?

After Chiharu tells Tetsu off...pathetically, because why would you mention Cole, anyway, she and Jasmine visit Kimberly. Who...well...had reaaaaaaaaaally bad things happen to her. You honestly don't want to know, to keep this liveblog to a light "R".

But considering all the bad shit that happened in the last chapter, and also considering how much Akizuki fancies Kimberly, my major question still stands.

(in a more furious tone) WHY WOULD YOU FUCKING DO THAT?!

Kimberly thanks Chiharu for visiting her. About the only important thing to take from it is that, with a test, the former's not pregnant with RINO's baby. And to make things even more mind-breaking (and maybe soul-scarring), Kimberly goes on and on about that. Yeah, I find that to be just as disturbing as what did happen to her.

We see Jasmine walking around, until Abrella attacks her with the mooks. She morphs into Deka Yellow (oh, so they finally got her placement right!), and just when she's about to beat the shit out of them again, a mysterious man shows up and does it for her. Who the hell is he? He's Raymond Egobossler.

...Egobossler. Yeah, that's definitely a name to...

Regardless, "Raymond" here came from Germany, and when the U.A.O.E demolished his home, he wanted to seek the USSPRA. He easily charms Jasmine, and he helps pay for the groceries. And when the duo arrive at the academy, Tetsu and Jasmine argue a bit, but Cole notices something really fishy about this "Raymond" dude.

Even though I can clearly spot it a mile away.

Meanwhile, unknown to, oh, I don't know, everyone else, "Raymond" holds a jasmine flower. Turns out that the guy's really RINO. Likely, he shapeshifted thanks to the Time Crystal. Or said crystal gave him powers, I dunno.

After Tranza mocks him, RINO tells him to call him "Emperor", and it's not a date. Rather, it's part of his plan to break the USSPRA. And as soon as Abrella makes a comment, we reach quite possibly one of the worst lines of this entire fanfic.

Kiros: "Women… they are fragile yet vital to those Super Sentai groups."

(Rika is aghast)

"Fragile". Have you not heard of the action girls? I mean, hell, almost every Sentai team has one! I swear, that's the most sexist line I've heard in quite a long-ass time.

(Rika facetendrils)

RINO decides that it's time to execute the next part of the plan. Here, with Long's assistance, they would devastate the Gen Juken Academy. Long, in the form of "Dr. Gokunryu", would "help" the USSPRA, whereas RINO...once again...would get Kimberly all to himself.

Back to Jasmine, she's about to take an evening walk, until RINO crashes the party. He uses his blood to create a starfish parasite. Ew. And as for Jasmine? She doesn't morph. Instead, she just...reacts.

Fucking what?! You're really turning all the women into damsels in distress, Akizuki! Seriously, what's up with that?!

The starfish parasite attaches to her on her neck, and it disappears. This puts her under RINO's control. I can't help but think about how much this looks familiar...

After Jasmine states shit about how she's no longer of the USSPRA, but of the Vyram...really, why does it always have to be the Vyram recently?...we go back to the Academy, the next day. Miki sees "Raymond" and "Dr. Gokunryu", the latter of which I'm going to nickname "Dr. Kawano" because fuck it the bullshit name is hard to spell and I'm lazy.

"Raymond" promises the others that "Dr. Kawano" will be able to help them, and Jasmine enters with a dark look in her eyes. And I just love how Miki doesn't question why Deka Yellow herself looks odd. Anyway, Jasmine tells "Raymond" about how there's someone who needs help.

"Dr. Kawano" is tasked to make sure the Extra Heroes increase their violence. Somehow. And after a scene with Ken and Gou sensing something funny about this guy, and the so-called doctor telling the team what they need to do, we get a scene with Jasmine and "Raymond" visiting Kimberly. He tells her that they can free his country from RINO's control, and he has a plan to help them relax.

Of course, little does anyone know that, yes, it's all a part of the master plan. And like in the last chapter, it basically requires everyone to act like complete morons. Can we call the USSPRA the dumbest group of "heroes" ever yet?

Dr. Kawano gives out a flier, created by RINO (and probably made in Photoshop), and announces to the group that they will go to the beach. Yep, just exactly what we need for the shitty Jetman "tribute": a fucking Beach Episode! Gorie asks Jasmine to accompany them, and of course she does! Also, something about RINO and Long planning to get rid of each other, who gives a shit?

After a scene where Aya frees Houka from the detention center, we finally have our Beach Episode. The Shinkengers are on duty, and the other "heroes"? They left their transformation devices behind. What can possibly go wrong?

Short answer: everything.

Long answer...let's start with the fact that S!Takeru's staring at Mako rudely, because fuck consistent characterization. (Also, I don't think he's a playboy.) As Cole thinks about the fates of the Extra Heroes, "Raymond" and "Dr. Kawano" are ready for the plans, disgusted at the same time that they're doing (gasp!) a pretentious act.

No. That's not a pretentious act. Being overdramatic, using flowery language, while you're trying to be a rock star at the stage? Now that is a pretentious act, my friend!

(Tranza stares at Rika)

...sanity's boring.

So as the villains go "muhahahaha"-ing, we go back to the "heroes" on the beach. Tensions still flare up, with Tommy and Kimberly not...being there, the other Extra Heroes not giving a shit, and Hiruto HIROTO DAMMIT and...Suto? Don't you mean Miu? (Get ready for a bit more of "Fun with Spelling Miu's Name Wrong", kids.) Anyway, the two regaining their sibling bond, but not recovering the relationship with the other Go-Ongers.

After we get a scene of all the other villains disguised as tourists, the only important thing to take from this is Ahames mentioning about how RINO will use the Amazo worms mixed with his blood to create a monster. That's right, it's time for "Scenes That Won't Look Out of Place in a Modern-Day Horror Film"!

The next thing that gets worse is that, after Dr. Kawano here assembles the Extra Heroes and Cole for a group activity, Jasmine presses a button, entrapping everyone. Everyone is in chains, and yes, it does get repeated a couple times. RINO and Long ditch their disguises, and Jasmine reveals once more that she's with the villains. This also ticks off the Shinkengers, except for Ryunosuke, who—for some reason—flips out in a bad way.

Ahames' team shows up, and they reveal the Monster of the Arc: Bloody Worm Jigen, who resembles a worm and Raguem's facial features. Also, worms around its body. Seriously. RINO gloats about his latest creation, and he has it in action, causing the little worms to attach themselves to people's bodies, and ew gross not going to liveblog what happens.

The Shinkengers try to morph, but it turns out that Basco has stolen the Shodo Phones! Aaaaaaaand Kiros tries to fall in love with Mako. AGAIN. I don't know what's more sickening: the Bloody Worm Jigen, or the Kiros/Mako bullshit.

Or, hell, both!

...also, I really am seeing just how pathetic Kiros has become. He's just scratched up and beaten like a rag doll. And did just Mako kick him in the nuts? Dear God, that has to be humiliating.

Well done, I'm actually pitying him a little instead of fearing him. But isn't that how I feel towards most of the villains here?

Meanwhile, the worms continue to eat people alive, to the point where one of them is just...reduced to bones. Ewwwwwwwwwww. You know, even the Jigsaw Killer would be sickened by this bullshit!

(Tranza is getting ill, himself)

...?

Tranza: Why do you put yourself into this...soul-scarring...

Rika: It may be sick, it may be disturbing, and hell, I can definitely see why it's one of the worst chapters ever. If not the worst "tribute" arc. But I have to press on, because I'm not going to stop until this stupid-ass arc is done!

(Tranza is really shocked by Rika's undaunted tenacity)

...so. RINO tells the beach group to surrender themselves and their devices, and he'll stop the torture. Basco wants to kill the USSPRA, but...dear God. RINO just throws a hissy fit, and the former gives up the devices. Including the one Cole uses to become Red Conqueror. He gives the beach group the choice: either surrender, or watch as other people die. Uh, didn't you just...like, tell them to surrender?

Regardless, S!Takeru and Kimberly surrender, the former much to the Shinkengers' dismay. RINO...tells Kimberly that she'll become his trophy once more. And...really? You're doing the same shit Kiros has done to Mako? The hell is this? I mean, I don't even think the real Radiguet would do something this...fucking immature!

(Rika is growing angrier by the minute)

As Kiros continues to think about Mako, speaking of, and how his ways are just not matching that of the U.A.O.E, Ahames and Long are enjoying the torture, whereas everyone else is just sickened. Yes, even Basco, who vomits. Ew.

...also, considering how Basco's saying how it's so over-the-top, I don't know if I can agree with him or not.

RINO halts the attacks, and he tells the other villains to guard the captured "heroes". And is it just me, or is RINO growing more and more OOC in every damn second? Regardless, he disappears with the captured Shinkengers and Kimberly. And this happens.

RINO: "Mako is too hot a chick for that scoundrel Kiros! I won't keep my promises to that creep and I'll keep her for myself! Mako should also be sitting by my side as one of my trophies besides Kimberly and Jasmine."

...you have got to be kidding me. Seriously, enough with the "hey, let's capture hot chicks!" thing! THIS IS NOT YOU!

Also. You ready for this? You really ready for it? As RINO grows in power, he's starting to grow insane. I've heard of people being drunk with power, but with the entire idea of him having a mental illness...seriously, FUCKING WHAT?! Isn't that insulting to those who do have mental illnesses?

(Rika then feels bad for the earlier comment, the one where she called RINO a brat) I immediately take that back.

And, ladies and gentlemen, Things That Can Go Wrong #3: we're seeing the heroes being crucified. Seriously. G!Gai and Genta scream like crazy, annoying everyone else. Also, Miu's called "Mio". Uh, Akizuki, Mio is not Go-on Silver here.

After Basco goes on once more about how wrong it is...hoo boy. It's time for Cole to also be crucified. Are you really ready for this now? He's in the nude, and he's prepared to go onto his cross. After a bit of arguing banter between him and other villains, and yes, Ahames has whipped him, Basco...oh, boy. Basco and Tranza nail Cole to the cross.

Yes. You read that right. The two nail Cole to the cross, and they put him in the center of the other crucified "heroes".

...

(Rika takes a deep breath)

As one internet reviewer once said...SYMBOLISM!!!!!!1 OMGWTFGENIUS!!!!!!

I'm sorry, but damn. Yes, we get it, Cole is awesome. But why in the hell would you do this? This is just sick, twisted, and...(Rika snorts) At least I don't do that shit towards characters or actors I truly like and respect!

...in short, I'm a Catholic, and I find that disturbing, wrong, and just plain WTF-inducing.

After Basco wishes Cole a nice death, and the crucifixion being broadcast (wait, how did the villains even set up cameras?), we go back to the New Skybase. From there, Gorie is getting rather upset over what has happened, as are some of the Gekirangers. Mari offers to take Jasmine's place, and Ban lets her.

...and then RINO gives them a message. I think it's time to cue the most appropriate music I can ever think of while reading this.

RINO: "Super Sentai, Power Rangers… you are now at my mercy. As you know it, I have held your comrades at the beach where they are about to die if you plan to save the people on the beach. I planned everything and as you know, you are powerless to stop me. I have your comrades held at my base. Come if you dare! Should you try to save your comrades crucified at the beach or captured in my castle, I will hasten the effects of the plague that has already hit the city. Only I hold the control to the worms' maturity which can be demonstrated in this video. So choose- you all surrender to my plans or let the people you protect die! Bwahahahahaha!"

And after RINO presumably goes, "live or die, make your choice", cue a wonderful bit of montage, all of the people being sick or reduced to bones, and, yes, the crucified beach group screaming. RINO then signs off, making J!Gai angry and Sakura feeling remorseful. The Samurai Rangers offer their assistance, but J!Ryu tells them not to for now.

Enter Billy and Ranru, and they do generic doctor stuff, namely examining the worms and corpses. Oh, and Shane and Dustin are helping out, too. I'd imagine that their minds would get fucked up seeing it. And while the tests are being done, J!Ryu decides that it may be time for the Jetmen to reunite. Because amongst all the chaos (and not in a good way), they remember now that, well, there's a shitty "tribute" to be done.

In the dungeon, the Shinkengers and Kimberly are trapped there, and they go on and on about their predicaments. In a way...I'm really sorry to say this, but it's kinda hard to take it seriously when we're reminded that they're still clad in their beach attires. And yes, Kimberly and Mako mention their issues with RINO and Kiros, respectively. As S!Takeru thinks of a way out, enter the guards, who choose most except for Kimberly and Mako to be crucified. The girls will..."party"...with RINO at that time.

(Rika cringes)

And so, this despicable, deplorable, diabolical chapter ends with the city falling into the epidemic. So far, more than 30 people have died. RINO's plan has become more powerful—GAH!

(Rika nods, and Tranza shuts the tablet off for now)

Damn. That was just...I don't want to repeat myself, but that really sucked! But the good news is, we have one final chapter to go through this entire mess—

(and then, Tranza and Rika watch as a screen is turned on...they realize now what's going on)

Tranza: The fight...

Rika: I know the All-Stars can do it. Here's hoping they actually succeed, though...


(the now-morphed All-Stars arrive at an empty room. In said room are glass paintings of all the Sentai—and Ranger—villains, and on top of some stairs is a throne, with torches on the side...)

Ryota: This is it.

Rin: ...I'm scared.

Brittany: We can't be scared! We came so far...

Alex: ...

Where's Radiguet?

(no sooner than Alex speaks the words, fitting battle music plays)

Ryota: ...you just had to say it.

(then...a flurry of thundershocks strike the ground, and bigger thunderbolts soon follow, trying to strike at the All-Stars. They try to dodge it in every single opportunity. And then...a voice.)

Radiguet: (offscreen) All-Stars...!

(cut to the surprised All-Stars)

...prepare...

(cut to the throne)

...to...

(...and then, as sudden as a screamer, Radiguet jumps out with a manic expression and screaming the final word in a hellish voice)

DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!

(Radiguet immediately attacks the group, armed with the Demon Sword Bloody Gate, as he swings said sword to them. Ryota tries to disarm him with the Gokai Sabre, but it's no good...)

(Rin tries to use the Heaven Fan, which damages him a little, but he strikes at her with thunderbolts. Jason and Matoi double-team by blasting the hell out of Radiguet, but he blasts at them with a dark energy ball attack)

Alex: This guy's tough!

(Alex and Brittany think harder, and they gain their Rangers' Mega Mode forms. Don't ask how that works. With their Mega Blades, they try to double-team against Radiguet, and it works!)

Brittany: All right!

(...but then Radiguet finds the strength to strike at them with an electricity-charged blade. They try to counter his moves, and as he does, Christopher, Saya, and Natsuki try to attack with their weapons. However, Radiguet teleports out of the way, causing the three former Mages to clash with one another.)

(Radiguet continues to grow stronger, and he eventually manages to beat most of the All-Stars. One by one, they go down. Jason tries to execute the Gokai Blast and Slash, only for the villain to withstand it, and he fires another Dark Energy Ball attack at him. Matoi tries to strike with the V-Lancer and Alex and Brittany their Mega Blades once more, but he knocks the two men down with more powerful lightning bolts, and disarms Brittany after that...)

(Rin and Ryota try to imitate Alex and Brittany's attacks, that of teaming up and slashing Radiguet with their respective swords, and while this weakens him a bit, he spin-kicks them down. With a roar, Radiguet charges up another lightning bolt to kill the fallen All-Stars, until...)

Natsuki: No!

(...Natsuki prepares a wall of earth, nullifying the electricity. Saya fires a Solarbeam attack at Radiguet, knocking him down, and a very angry Christopher holds the foe down with his psychic attacks)

Christopher: THIS IS FOR SEAN, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!

(Christopher wildly throws Radiguet to the ground)

AND THIS IS FOR THE OTHER SCOUTS!

(he blasts Radiguet with another Psychic attack)

AND...THIS IS FOR THE OTHER ALL-STARS, YOU SACK OF SHIT! WE NO LONGER SERVE YOU!

(Christopher, Saya, and Natsuki try to combine their attacks into one giant ball, and they aim it at Radiguet, hoping to defeat him...but to their surprise, he does have one final trick up his sleeve. Namely, he uses a powerful vortex shield to not only absorb the attack, but make the three Mages powerless, no longer having their elemental attacks)

W-what the fuck?!

Radiguet: Now, Christopher...that wasn't very nice. After all I've done for you and the other Mages. Now all of you will be punished...

(Radiguet prepares a huge ball of power, from the psychic-flower-earth attacks to the dark energies)

Ryota: Guys, brace yourselves!

(and then...as Rika and Tranza watch in fear...Radiguet unleashes the powerful attack with a yell...and a hard cut to black)

Emergency Signal; Now, Forward! To the concluding liveblog of Super Sentai vs. Power Rangers!!

Wait... Gen Juken? Gen Juken was the Beast Fist created by Long and were the villains for a quarter of Gekiranger. I'm pretty sure Akizuki was thinking "Geki Juken" which is the Beast Fist that actually had academies. Unless it's like with U.A.O.H. (The organization that the Ohrangers operate under before this fanfic had it turn into a villain organization for RINO) and something changed so that there was a Gen Juken. And actually, if there was a Gen Juken academy, that would be pretty cool Fanfic Fuel, since it's basically Gekiranger-style kung-fu with Mythical Animals. Considering how the guys who work at the Geki Juken academy are there, I think he was doing Geki Juken and somehow it became Gen Juken.

Radiguet as his growing insanity made him do stuff that were pretty out-of-character.

Pffffffffffffft... Hahahahaha... Oh man, when even the fanfic knows he's out of character, there something horribly wrong. I would say With Great Power Comes Great Insanity, but I don't think it turns a guy so crazy, he's close to changing S to an H for Sentai.

I said it before and I'll say it again, I'm calling this Ranger Black. Oh, and Passion of the Cole while we're at it.

Oh, and by the way, I made a video based around that speech.

Considering that there have been sooooooo many misspellings throughout this fanfic ("Hiroto" as "Hiruto", "Miu" as "Mio"...the list goes on), I do think, now that I think about it, that it's just another misspelling.

And there have been more instances where RINO's listed as OOC, with Basco, for one, saying how much it's over-the-top. You know it's bad when you're pitying (at least most) of the villains and agreeing with them. And nope, power (or brain damage...seriously, what the fuck?) does not turn anyone who's close to changing "S" to an "H".

"Oh, and by the way, I made a video based around that speech."

(watches the video)

Oh, my God, that's more hilarious than anything I've ever written in this liveblog! That's perfect! XD Well done.

That was a seriously hilarious readover you got, Psyga. Got me laughing in the morning.

Now as of the plot he copied from me, I think I will say that I am kind of guilty from parts of it. I think it'd be such travesty that you'd probably see me as a disgusting man. Therefore, I'll send the comparisons over via PM. Unless Psyga, Hamburger or anyone else reading this liveblog wants to know how to.

And yes, this is what I'm talking about. I'm Catholic too, and I find Zukini trying to make Cole look like Jesus... very much face-palming and offends me as a Christian guy myself.

The brain damage is more about Zukini trying to excuse how much he's gone into derailing Radiguet's character, however, the excuse is weak and these all came off more like Zukini trying to insert what he thinks to be 'his darkest self' (you'll notice he likes portraying himself like a Tragic Hero or sorts. Kind of like Jin Kazama, even if claiming such thing more likely insults the character). Along the way he goes more into portraying his 'darkest fantasies' instead of writing Radiguet.

All right, let's see on the next chapter... it's the last for this liveblog.

Psyga is definitely the go-to guy when it comes to Tokusatsu.

And you know what? I saw bits and pieces of that worm plot (or, more specifically, the differences between the effects), so...I'll still read the comparisons regardless.

I know that the brain damage is very much an "excuse" for why RINO's so OOC like that. It truly does not make any sense any way you slice it, and to be honest, it is really insulting. And I can definitely see the differences between, say, what I see is "dark" and fitting for the character vs. what Akizuki sees.
