Ranger Meeting Two: The Quest for More Angels (Rangers Only)

Jack Chuckled to himself as he hit the send button on his phone... one hell of a text... He just hoped the rangers would get here soon. Jack sat down near the door to the radio tower and dug into his Wild Duck Burger take out bag. He fished his burger out, unwrapped it and took a hearty bite."Ya know Nilo...I think... We're gunna be ok." he would say between chews. "Just promise me... Not to kick my ass... in Heaven if I get my butt killed.... tryen to save the earth..." Jack would pause for a moment to swallow"Thanks man. I appreciate it.... wait... I SAID NO MAYO!"

Kazuya was in his house. He is just petting his pet dog 'Hibiki' since there is nothing else for him to do that is until his phone rang. It was from Jack, it says that there is a Primordial on a prowl and he needs the rangers to meet him in the tower. Also, there are new guys named 'Nagisa' and 'Mae' on the team. "Wait Mae? Mae Iharu? Mae-senpai is on the team now?" he asked himself as he saw a familiar name in the message. It's been months since they haven't seen each other and he wonders how is Mae holding up. Maybe going to the radio station will find so Kazuya replied "Blue Ranger is on his way". Kazuya resides on San Malarus so he will arrive there in no time. So he quickly go outside and locked his door so the dogs won't escape.

He just simply ran into the Radio Tower as he just lives somewhere nearby so he doesn't need any kind of transportation to go there unless he is feeling lazy. So walking is enough and he just arrived there in 5 minutes. He saw Jack in the door and approach him so Jack can know his presence. "Yo! i'm here!" he waved at Jack and sat with him. "So it seems that i am the first one arrive huh?" he added.

Mae's phone buzzed on the floor, waking her up. "Huh... A text message now?" She whispered to herself drowsily as she picked up her phone and squinted at the bright screen, reading what was written. "Umm... Charles?" She sat straight up in her futon, wide awake all of a sudden. She slowly stood up, looking for him around in the apartment. She was still in her night-gown, and her hair stood on all ends, fuzzed up after a good night's sleep. Wherever she would find him, she gave him the phone, allowing him to read the text, before saying with a bright smile. "I'm gonna go take a shower and get dressed. Wait for me, will you?" After which she went back to her trunk and opened it up. She grabbed some clothes and a towel, and took it all into the bathroom, after which she locked the door, took off her night-gown and underwear, after which she went straight into the shower.

Yeah, this was refreshing, and the drops of water washed away the morning drowsiness effectively, allowing her to contemplate what Jack's message had told her. A new primordial was on the loose... That was not very good news at all. And she was about to meet the rest of the rangers. Considering Charles was told to come, Mae assumed he was a Ranger as well. What a fun coincidence in this madness. While contemplating what all this would mean for Mae, she started singing to herself.

After showering, the pinkette grabbed her towel, and started getting herself ready for the meeting. The preparations took about thirty-forty minutes or something... (Mae didn't actually keep track of the time passed), but eventually she stepped out of the bathroom, refreshed and smiling towards Charles. "Are you ready to go?"

Mornings are a weird sort of creature. Sometimes tender and sometimes wild. Regardless, they always chewed on the unsuspecting dreams of their victims, promptly cutting them short as the sun's rays shoo'd away the darkness. For Charles, however, they held no meaning. He had no dreams they could devour. So, when Mae's phone buzzed on the floor, he had already moved on into the new kitchen and has been struggling with ham and eggs he wanted to make for Mae's breakfast. It goes without saying, the kitchen was a mess. But the rest of the apartment sure looked nice now that they have redecorated everything. Heh, and to think he had once been against that idea.

"Good morning." He turned to Mae as she slowly awakened, hiding the messy kitchen behind a nervous smile. Sheesh, she could've waited a bit before awakening until he at least cleaned everything up... Oh right, humans didn't work like that. Still grinning, he spoke, nearly glad mae paid the ktchen no heed and went on to the bathroom. "Ah, sure. Is the message from your friend or something? Y-you'll tell me later, okay!" He began frantically cleaning the broken egg shells and grabbing all the ham that had fallen to the floor, stuffing it all somehow into the trash bin.

37 minutes and 21 seconds later...

A squeaky clean kitchen, a squeaky clean Charles. "Good morning." He repeated when Mae finally walked out of the bathroom. "We're leaving, why? Is it the message?"

Nagisa adjusted the last details of her make up before she smiled at her reflection on her mirror. Since she was going to meet with the rest of the rangers as well as Miss Divine she had to look good. A short grey (almost transparent) summer dress along with wooden platforms and a silver bracelet would do the work. "Blaez, I'm ready. Jack said he was urgent so if you like I can ask the driver to give us a lift near the meeting place." She said loudly so her new roommate would hear her as she continue to admire herself. "I think he plans to form an alliance with her, or something like that the message wasn't exactly clear."

She left her room without waiting for a reply. Normally she would spend more time taking care of herself but she didn't want to make the entire team wait for her, especially since Miss Divine was involved in it. She made sure to get her enormous white hat on her way out, the sun and heat have only gotten worse lately. "I'll be waiting at the door." She added as she headed downstairs.

Another meeting...he wasn't feeling like showing up but he had to, he wanted a break, but that would have to wait...An alliance with another angel... he would be backstabbing Israfel, leaving the angel to perish in the hands of whatever attacked him...He would need time to think but unfortunately he didn't had the time.

"Alright, let's get going."At least he had a driver taking him there this time, he wouldn't get so exhausted...Jack mentioned a girl named Mae joining the team...could it be that Mae?He would discover it soon, they arrived at the meeting place, it seems Jack and Kazuya already arrived"Hey, sorry if we are late." He said as both him and Nagisa approached the two.

"Darn duck burger... Putten mayo on every dig dong thing. I swear that when the giant monsters attack I aint guna save them. Infact! I'll step on them with maself with ma megazord! Yeah that's what I'm gunna do... That'll teach them to mess up my order. 'Oh hey! The Personangers are here to save us in their Ego MegaZord! Oh god NOOOOO!' Then squish! No more wild duck burger.... yeah.... And who would blame me? We're the Featherman Rangers! We're just protecting the city from a monster! Heck! They'll throw us a parade! No one will ever be the wiser! They'll all think it was just a-Oh Hey Kaz... how uh... how long have you been standing there?.... And yeah! Looks like yer the first one this time... Normally it's Blaez." Jack would look at Kaz with the plainest face he could muster. Like he wasn't just talking about using their megazord to enact his revenge on a fast food establishment that put to much Mayo on his burger.

"... So what's up?.... Oh Hey! Blaez! Nagisa!" Jack would turn to his now arriving friends."How are you two love birds doing? Let's talk about you guys instead of my slow dive into psychosis... yay!"

"*chuckle* Jack being Jack, don't worry I just arrived" he replied and looked at the two newcomers, Blaez and Nagisa. Nagisa must be the new member obviously. "Oh hello there" he said to them then looked at Nagisa. "Ah you must be Nagisa. I am Kazuya Fujiwara, the blue ranger, nice to meet you and welcome to the team" he said to her with a welcome smile. Ok now to welcome that Mae, he presumes that the new 'Mae' is Mae Iharu so two more members left.

"Well, yeah. Jack just texted me, saying he wanted to meet up. Oh, and he wanted me to bring you too!" Mae noticed Charles was doing something at the kitchen as she was talking to him. "Umm... What are you...? Wait... You're making breakfast for me? Aww, that's so nice of you~♥ Thanks, sweetie." She gave him a bright smile. She hadn't eaten anything yet, so she sent a text message back to Jack.

--Hey, Jack. Let me just eat some breakfast, and I'll be on my way. See you soon.

~ Mae--

"So... What did you cook for me, Charles?" Mae asked her boyfriend curiously, with both hands behind her back. He had actually taken the time to prepare some breakfast for her. He didn't have to do it, but he did, which made her day that much better.

---------------------

Mae walked down to the radio tower, holding Charles' hand tightly. The sun was shining, the wind was all nice and gentle... yeah, spring was in full force right now! The only thing missing was the Cherry Blossom trees she had grown so used to seeing in full bloom by now back in japan, but you can't have everything, right? Besides, Charles was there with her, and that was the thing that mattered to her the most. "We're almost there now... Oh, there he is!" Mae pointed at Jack sitting together with three other people, eating. "Hey, Jack! Sorry we're late... Now then..." Mae sat down on a chair, and grabbed another one for her boyfriend to sit on, making sure the two sat next to one another. "You wanted to see us all...? Oh, Hi Blaez! And Kazuya too?" Now that was a suprise. Two of her friends were here as well, and Mae assumed they were rangers. Funny how life finds a way... However, there was one person at the table she didn't know at all... "Hey! I'm Mae Iharu. Nice to meet you." She said, offering a handshake to the other girl.

Huh, why was Jack calling them both? "What did he say it's about?" Charles asked curiously. He didn't even know Jack knew Mae up until this point... But what was really weird was that he had asked for both of them to be there. Did he somehow find out they were together now? This better not be one of his episodes...

"U-uhm..." Charles backed off to the work surface on the kitchen, where the pan with ham and eggs stood. He kind of just wanted to throw the burnt and messed up breakfast he had failed to cook for Mae but... "D-don't laugh, okay..." He picked through the are with his hand until he felt the pan and held it up. It really looked unapetizing, even to him... He took a plate and let the eggs slide down on it. He brought it out of the kitchen with an awkward grimace and put it on the table. "Y-you don't have to eat it if you don't want to..."

-----------------------------------------

Charles made his way with Mae to the meeting place, back at the radio tower, huh... What was Jack even thinking? And look, the rest of the rangers were there too, what a surprise... He was feeling unusually uncomfortable as they approached them, even with Mae's warm hand holding his in a tight embrace. There seemed to have been more additions to the team other than Mae... A new girl stood there with the rest. For now, he'd keep quiet and just follow Mae, glancing away from Jack and the others as he waved unwillingly as a greeting. "Hey..." He sat down next to Mae and waited for the meeting to start. Mae seemed to have known about everyone except the new girl, just like him. Eh, coincidence.

Even though Nagisa have never met the other two members, the blue ranger Katzuya and Mae she couldn't help but remember Charles's face from school, she had promised him to help him clear his name but with the recent events she had little time for club activities. "Hello there, it's a pleasure to meet everyone. I am Nagisa Sugihara." She said as she looked at her team members, she wondered what kind of powers each one of them had and how she could use them for the rangers tactical advantage. She felt as if she was going to find out soon. "I believe we are all here. Since this is the case then we ought to start our little meeting"

It was that Mae, Blaez looked surprised but slightly happy that it was indeed her, she was a good person and she seemed reliable enough"...What a small world."He said to himself, he had a light smile on his face, he was glad that this time it was someone he knew instead of a complete stranger.

"Alright, now that everyone is here we should start this meeting."He lowered his head for a few seconds and sighed, he knew it was going to be another long day, but he could endure it, a man's got to do what a man's got to do.

Well! It looked like everyone was here! Great now... wait. Mae and Charles showed up together? Odd. Jack didn't even know they knew each other. Oh well. Small world after all. I mean it's not like they were currently holding hands and standing shoulder to shoulder!? Wait WHAT!? Not only were Blaez and Nagisa in the throws of a Ranger Romance but now Charles and Mae as well! Both his special colored rangers were dating other members of the team.... "Ch-Charles! Mae! What uh.... Whats up? You two look.. ehem... Didn't know you two knew each other heh ... I would launch into a long fevered speech about how young love is the key to true strength and how your burning souls are an inspiration to us all... But now is not the time for that. We have much more important matters at hand..."

Jack would stand and move to the center of the group, looking to each of his assembled rangers. Gone was the look of child like wonder and innocence that were ever present in his eyes... Now only a fierce determination shone through them. "I'd like to thank you all for coming today... As you all know it's been a while sense we were all together like this... I would like to welcome Ranger Silver, Nagisa, and Ranger Pink, Mae, to our team. Both of them have my full trust and I hope they will soon earn yours as well. Now... Let's not waste time... Onto the matter at hand. As you all may or may not know the primordial have made their move. They have launched an assault on not only our world... But on the world of Israfel, the angel in the alternate Zela Academy. This means that we can't lick our wounds any longer. It's time we made a move of our own... and went on the offensive."

Jack would pause and look towards the top of the radio tower. " And in order to do that we need the power of the Angels... Which leads me to why I have asked you all here today.  I have spoken with Miss.Divine... the angel that lives in this tower. And She has reviled to me that she to has a Reason... Only her's is a bit different. She wants humanity to have it's own dream... It's own voice in this contest. To not fallow the dream of another, but to make a path that is our own."

Jack would turn back to his rangers and smile"I have faith in the human race. We may not be as strong as the angels... or as wise. But I believe that our future is ours to sculpt. I believe that humanity can reach it's own utopia under it's own guidance. That is why my Reason... My Dream... Is a world much like our own... One that is inhabited by people of different creeds, different beliefs, and who have dreams all their own... One where we work together to better our world, in our way. Miss.Divine has said... that she will give her blessing to a group who has a dream their own... for she wants humanity to forge it's own path." Jack would bring his hand to cover his chest and lower his head. "This is why I have come to you all with a choice. Should you see fault in my Reason or my goals... Then you may leave now. Don't worry, it won't change anything. You'll still be a Ranger... and you will still be my friend. I see you all as my family... and nothing could ever change that. Which is why I can't force my ideals on you. If I did I'd be just another dictator...However... If my words ring true... If you share the same faith in humanity that I have... The hope that we as people have the power to change the world with our own hands..." Jack would take the hand on his chest and punch it out in front of him, fist clenched tight"Then I will ask you the same question that brought you here in the first place! Will you join me... and help me save the world?!"

Kazuya observed everybody and he is clueless that Mae & Charles and Blaez & Nagisa we're both loving couples. If he did still know, he won't even care anyway but he wiill raise his hopes up for them to have a long lasting relationship! Also, those things haven't crossed Kazuya's mind yet but yes, he has a love interest but he has no intention to be her boyfriend as Kazuya knows that there is still time to be youth. Going into these kind of relationship will be a pain especially when you're that young. Kazuya will spend his time as a youth while he still can. "Oh hi, Mae-senpai. It's been a long time since we've met. It's nice to see you again" he greeted as he noticed her.

Ok going to the meeting. As usual, Jack is there again with his heroic speeches. As a matter of fact, Kazuya liked the speech though. It makes Jack a good leader and he can be a president in the future. Also, those words are coming out of his mouth without a paper to look at! This also proves that Jack is great at words. No wonder why he is the leader. Kazuya can't do that, he will lack at words in just a second and he is inefficient to be a leader but he is efficient to be a follower and a friend. Ok so, Jack said the Primordials made their move and it made Kazuya alerted but inside of him, there was nothing to worry about because he has a team to rely on. Meaning, he is strong as long as the rangers are there for him so he just focused at the situation at hand without feeling nervous. Now, we're going to ask Miss Divine again for help. She did help to find Israfel after all so why not the other angels? They can't go randomly everywhere after all, it will lead them to nowhere. So Kazuya agrees with that since it's the only thing that they can do after all. Also, the angel is nice so it's safe to decide that they can talk to her.

So Kazuya did the whatever hands and shook his head. "Whatever man, i'm in" then lowered his hand so the others can stack it and do a cheer! Just like in a football team before the game starts. "What about you, guys?" he asked with a smile on his face as if the situation is not even that serious. Carefree Kazuya is the normal Kazuya for you.

"A Primordial as shown up and wrecked havoc in Penecia..." Mae sighed. There were two of them now? She learned about Thesis yesterday, but this... other one was news... and bad ones at that. Now they had two Primordials to deal with. As if one wasn't bad enough! "Regardless, Jack said it was urgent."

Mae looked at the burnt eggs... Well, at least he tried. "Oh don't worry about it. There's always a next time. I know how to make Omelettes. I can teach you. Just tell me when, I'll gladly help you, honey." The gesture was really sweet of him. He had actually gone through with the whole process of buying and (at least trying to) cook her some breakfast. It was the thought that counted in the end. "I'm sorry, Charles. I'll grab something on the way." Mae gave him a reassuring smile. "You're coming right?"

------------------------------------

"Yeah... We'll save it for a better time, right?" Mae gave Charles a warm smile. "Something wrong?" She whispered to him quietly. He wasn't acting like usual. Charles was being more reserved than normal. Much more so.

Mae listened intently to what Jack had to say. "Israfel?" Mae asked Jack with a raised eyebrow. She assumed it to be an angel, like Angela. "Well, I'm not going to let anything steer over my future. If Miss. Divine can give humanity the freedom to choose their own future, then count me in. I think that would be the best for us all in the long run." Mae nodded towards Jack. Forcing a blanket future for everyone wasn't the best idea. Mae would much rather have a future where everyone can have ideals and dreams of their own. "Of course I will! I'll do whatever it takes, Jack." Mae then looked at Charles, eagerly awaiting his answer.
