Frontier

'A Real Frontier' (Parts 1-3) were a trilogy of stage shows written by Michael Page for a college project, they were never recorded.

## History

The characters from said plays have not appeared nor been mentioned in any of the other series besides being planned to appear in the 10th anniversary special before it was even titled All A Cross.

It should be noted that this set of stage plays is not considered to be part of the same universe as ALL A CROSS or its inter-connected series'. There were indeed intentions to include them in an anniversary series at one point, but this was decided against due to the lack of the original source material. One could say that this is the reason for the rushed creation of 'Gachomp!' as 'we need ten titles by 2017' had become the modus operandi of Page Productions by 2013.

The trilogy follows the journey of Mint Spear who travels across a vast expanse of land known as the 'Real Frontier' and runs roughly 40 minutes in length when combining the three play run times as one. Mint meets a mixture of supporting characters, some heroic, some villainous. Note worthy mentions include: Rhythm Ribbon and Drake Maximum, his initial traveling companions who are both killed by the opening of the second play. Lady Cola, a queen dedicated to evil who once attempted to cross the frontier and failed. Crisp, a summoned spirit with minor powers who serves Lady Cola, he wears a horned helmet and charges his enemies like a bull when commanded. After Lady Cola is defeated he serves under Mint. Warmblin and Coldblin, two wealthy bandits who have more money than they know what to do with (and carry a bucket of poison ink to dispatch their targets with). Marshall Beam, a lawman serving the Council of Councils, he was given 'special energy', a power that is never clearly explained or understood, though it can make wrenches glow orange and force others to fall over. Stone the Strong, Lily the Lucky and Ace the Perfect, the three members of the Council of Councils who guard the end of the Real Frontier. Though they each claim to be immensely powerful, they each lose through un-expected and anti-climactic circumstances: Stone is revealed to not actually be strong, Lily, while lucky, happens to be un-lucky the day Mint storms the castle and Ace, who possesses the script to the play he is in fails to read to the end which would have informed him of his destined defeat.

## Trivia

* Peter Clutton gave a thumbs-up to the fannames Lavender and Spargel for the unnamed characters. It was later confirmed by the original writer that their original names were Feather Brella and Donald/Don Key Hotay.
* The original writer once commented the series represents nothing, though many critics and audience members claimed to have understood the intended message, something that never existed. He added that in this sense, it exposes the pointlessness of the human need to discuss and critique nonsense that does not hold value.
* R.M. Rex Roi (stage name) who played Donald/Don Key Hotay also played Paco from Kamen Rider Fourze Type 2.
* Nikki Nguyen, who played Feather Brella, also played Heather Lynn from Kamen Rider Fourze Type 2.
* Eliott Glasser who would go on to play several roles in core Page Production works was intended to play 'Stone the Strong' in Part 3, however due to scheduling commitments he was replaced by Leo Martinez who played Andrew the basketball player in Kamen Rider Fourze Type 2.
