Divide and Kidnap

With all the happenings going on with Chiaki, Captain Marvelous and The Goseigers, the Go-Ongers are going about the day without a care in the world. Little did they know, evil forces were gathering to bring their bliss to a sudden halt. The seven heroes had enjoyed a nice lunch together set up by Renn in the Ginjiro and are now taking a nice afternoon walk in the park taking in the fresh air. Since this was a rear occasion that they could all be together, they all decide to wear their Go-On uniforms. With it being cold outside and all Miu and Saki wore black thermal pants instead of the respectively normal skirt and short-shorts.

Leading the group is Saki who strode down the concrete path with a bright smile on her face. Not for behind was Renn, admiring the snow that was covering the barren trees. Hanto ran past Renn with Gunpei in hot pursuit. Gunpei was having a nice conversation with Hiroto until a huge mound of snow fell on his head. It wasn't due to gravity and it wasn't just Gunpei's luck, it was Hanto who climbed the tree and thought it would be funny to surprise his brother in black. Gunpei ran over to the tree Hanto was in and started claiming. Hanto had jumped down by the time Gunpei made it to the tree and rest is well explained. Hiroto stood back and watched the two carry on as Renn walked over to do his "motherly" duty and try to bring peace between them. Saki just kept on walking and rolled her eyes at her teammates immaturity. Hiroto waited up for Sosuke and Miu. They were walking side by side hand in hand. As they caught up with Hiroto, Hanto had come running up the side of the path having escaped Gunpei who was now being contained by Renn and Saki.

As the four now walked on, Hiroto began asking Hanto about something he and Gunpei had been talking about. "Rumor has it that you are taking some night classes." The oldest Go-Onger said to the youngest.

"Yeah. I figured that I didn't want to be a delivery boy forever, so I decided see if there was anything else I may be good at." Hanto answered.

"That's very good Hanto." Miu said commending him. "Now this isn't just another skim to meet girls. Is it?" she continued.

"No, not at all." He turned to her waving his hands, his face a little pink.

"Or maybe there's one girl in particular you're looking to impress." Sosuke said teasingly.

Hanto looked at him puzzled. "What do you mean."

"So you don't have a crush on Saki." Hiroto said.

Hanto's face turned pink. "You guys know."

"It's pretty obvious." Sosuke said.

Hanto glared at him. "Really. If you can see the obvious then why couldn't you tell that Miu-san was fawning over you."

Before Sosuke could answer a loud bang broke the stillness of the air. It came from the direction the others had walked off to. Without a second thought, the four heroes ran forth to find out what happened. When they caught up to the others, they found that they had transformed and had engaged a group of serpent like creatures that they have never seen before in battle. Placing their Change Souls in their henshin devices and with a powerful "LET'S GO-ON", the four had joined their friends.

Whatever these monsters were, they proved themselves to be formidable adversaries. As skilled as they may be, they still made mistakes and the Go-Ongers didn't hesitate to exploit them. One by one, the snakes fell to the various weapons that made up the Go-Ongers arsenal. From the looks of things, the Ongers had this battle in the bag. But what was beginning to frustrate them was that there seemed to be no end to this snakes. For every one that was cut or shot down, it appeared as if two or three took its place.

The Sutou siblings activated Mission 6 on their Rocket Daggers and took to the skies. They swooped down and plowed through the monsters, taking out a great many of them. But when the Go-On Wings landed, they found more had come slithering from some unknown place.

The skirmish between the Ongers and the serpents raged on. In one portion the Go-On Wings stood side by side each cutting down an enemy one by one. By a nearby bridge, Renn and Gunpei were back to back. They were firing their Garage Launcher and Cowl Laser respectively at any foe that would dare to advance on them. Over by a frozen over fountain, Sosuke and Hanto were taking care of business. With one upper cut slash with his Road Saber, Sosuke caused one snake to land on the iced over water of the fountain falling right into the water as it broke. And near some bushes that would have been a flower garden had it been spring, Saki, with Racing Bullet in hand, was holding her own. One of the serpents had managed to sneak up on her. It opened its mouth and was poised to bite. Venom dripped from its razor sharp teeth. Hanto took notice of and somersaulted over a group of them. With one swipe of his Bridge Axe, he beheaded the creature and saved Saki from whatever ill fate the beast had in store for her. Saki thanked Hanto, smiling under her helmet.

"Hanto!" Sosuke held out angrily as the group Hanto jumped over had dog piled on top of him. Hanto and Saki, as well as the others, all rallied to their leader and threw the snakes, one by one, off of him.

Once Sosuke was free the Go-Ongers looked around them. They were now completely surrounded by the creatures. They didn't know how and they didn't know when this happened, but it happened. The Go-Ongers circled up. Hiroto, Gunpei and Renn stood ready for whatever the snakes were going to do. Saki let out a small whimper. As tough as she was, she knew when she was over her head. Hanto having heard her whimper and her fear in body language, placed himself in front of her. This action was a great comfort to her. In the center of the ring Miu stood in beside her husband. She grabbed his free hand with hers and squeezed it tightly. Sosuke turned to her and placed his forehead to hers. No words were spoken between them. Sosuke looked into his wife's eyes as if there was no visor on her helmet and she could see his. After that moment of comfort, she took a deep breath and she was no longer afraid.

Sosuke then broke eye contact with her. Raising his sword into the air he yelled out, "To the End!"

"TO THE END!" cried out the others as they charged at the demons. Swords crossed and guns fired. The Go-Ongers fought through their enemies, hearts pounding with adrenaline. They no longer cared that the snakes kept coming in greater numbers. They were willing to die a warrior's death and they would settle for nothing less if it came to it. Miu activated Mission 2 on her dagger and froze seven or eight of the monsters and Saki proceeded to blast them to bits. Then, something strange happened. No more snakes were attacking. It wasn't that they had finally finished off the last of them as they could see plenty more of them. It was the fact that they were no longer attacking them that was strange. The serpents had massed a ring some fifty yards wide around the boys and didn't even seem to care anymore about the girls. Before they could do anything to help there friends, two serpents sprang from behind them and sank their teeth into their shoulder blades.

Sosuke had cut down three more of the creatures when he looked of the rest and saw what had happened to the Go-On girls.

"MIU!" He yelled out in horror. This caused the others to turn towards him and take notice of Saki and Miu. Upon seeing the fangs of those foul creatures in Saki's back, a rage had awoken inside Hanto. A rage like no other he had ever felt before. He began to swing his axe wildly to get to her.

"I'm full of motivation."

"Who said that?" Sosuke asked. The remaining Go-Ongers looked around and saw twelve people running to the battle.

"Ginga Tensei!" Five of them turn a dial to their respective color and then press a switch on their braces.

"Kishi Tensei!" Another draws a sword, before thrusting it into the air as it began unleashing energy. After an explosion, which quickly fades away the figure was covered in thick black armor.

"Gao Access!" The remaining six open their phones and press a button in the middle. The phones each transform into a different animal that soon assumes a humanoid form representing the six. The six animals overtake them, forming a helmet and completing the transformation.

"GingaRed, Ryouma!"

"GingaGreen, Hayate!"

"GingaBlue, Gouki!"

"GingaYellow, Hikaru!"

"GingaPink, Saya!"

"Black Knight, Hyuuga!"

"The galaxy pierced by legendary blades! Seiju Sentai Gingaman!"

"Blazing Lion, GaoRed!"

"Noble Eagle, GaoYellow!"

"Surging Shark, GaoBlue!"

"Iron Bison, GaoBlack!"

"Belle Tiger, GaoWhite!"

"Sparkling Wolf, GaoSilver!"

"Where there is life, there is a roar of justice! Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger!"

The next thing the Go-On men saw after the Gingamen and Gaorangers introducing themselves was Saki and Miu going limp. They fell back and were caught in the arms of their attackers. As the snakes turned to carry the helpless beauties, Hiroto activated Mission 6 and flew overhead to their rescue. But he was cut short. A laser beam struck him in mid-flight and forced him to demorph. The Monstrous snakes moved aside and reviled to the other Go-Ongers the perpetrator. He was no different from the others but he was carrying a much different weapon. In his sinister hands he held a gun. A gun that was identical to the one used to demorph the Goseigers. It fired four more shots that connected to their targets forcing Sosuke and the others to demorph. Just as they did with the Goseigers, five of the beast let out the long tongues and swiped their henshin devices. Smoke then appeared before the beasts and they vanished, leaving the remaining Go-Ongers angry and confused.

"What the hell just happened?!" Sosuke yelled out angrily punching the ground.

Hanto dropped to his knees. The image of Saki being beaten by that serpent possibly killing her stayed in his head. How could he let that happen? How did such a thing happen behind his back? The thought kept playing in his head. The snake biting down on her back. Saki falling lifelessly in its arms. He couldn't shake it from his mind. And when it occurred to him that he may never she her smile again, the smile that was a ray of sunlight in many of the Go-Ongers darkest hours, he couldn't stop himself from breaking down. Renn and Gunpei administered this and went to his side.

Hiroto rejoined his allies. He was hurting but it wasn't from the fall. He failed to saved the girls. But most importantly to him, he failed to save Miu. We walked over to Sosuke, who was down on all fours, clenching his fist in both pain and rage. As with Hanto, Sosuke couldn't shake the image from his head. Miu was poisoned and taken by the enemy and there was nothing he could have done to stop it. Hiroto knelt down and placed his hand on his brother-in-laws back. Without looking at each other, they made a vow together that Miu's death would not go un-avenged. They didn't care that their henshin devices were taken. They were ready to kill any and all that would deny them vengeance.

Just then a small black cube dropped to the ground. It landed in the middle of where the remaining Go-Ongers were. The top of the cube opened and it projected a hologram of a man. He was an average sized man as the image made him out to be. He wore grey dress pants with black dress shoes. A grey vest was buttoned over a black dress shirt and he wore a necktie with various shades of purple going down across at a diagonal. He held a cane placed in front of him in his right and rested the left on top. He had blonde hair and other then his glasses with thin black frames, he wore a smug grin on his face.

"Good afternoon Go-Ongers." The man said. "You all preformed beautifully against my Vipers. And I am pleased to tell you that you have qualified for my game."

Sosuke rose to his feet. His face was emotionless. "Your…Vipers?" he managed to say holding back his anger.

He turned to Sosuke and smiled.

"Yes." The man said bluntly. "I sent them to attack you all."

Sosuke's face began to twist. It now wore an expression of pure, unbridled hatred. He ran to the man blinded by his rage and swung at his face. Had he been a solid figure, Sosuke would have broken his nose. But since it was a hologram, Sosuke's fist, as well as Sosuke himself, went right through the man. As he tried to attack again, Renn, Gunpei and Hiroto grabbed hold of him. Sosuke struggled for his freedom. The sounds of his yells rang out for miles.

"Is something wrong?" The hologram asked as if unaware what his minions had done. "You seem angry about something."

When those words made their way to Sosuke's ears, the red warrior stopped for a second. He looked at the hologram. If looks could kill, Sosuke would have caused a holocaust. The man had sent Sosuke into the deepest, blackest pits of hate. He began to shake uncontrollably. Renn and the others had never seen such a level of rage in their lives.

"I'm sorry, have I wronged you in some way?" The man mockingly asked.

Sosuke tried to speak but no words could be formed in his mouth. His rage was so great that all that came out were groans and growls. Again the man asked Sosuke what was wrong. He seemed to be very amused at the way Sosuke carried on.

"You…" finally a coherent word came from Sosuke's mouth. "You…" he repeated gritting his teeth. The hologram leaned forward a bit as if to try to make out what Sosuke was trying to say. "You…Killed…My…WIFE!" Sosuke was able to say finally.

"Killed your wife?" The man said in shock. He looked over to a monitor that was not in view of the Go-Ongers. "Nope. She's not dead."

Then all of a sudden, Sosuke's rage had vanished. "Not dead?" He asked in a calm voice. As with Sosuke, Renn, Gunpei, Hiroto and Hanto now stared at the man intently.

"Oh yes. She is very much alive. As well as your yellow friend." That news was exceptionally soothing to Hanto. "The venom in my Vipers only stun the victim for a time. No need to worry, your girls are quite safe." Then an evil expression crossed his face. "For now." He said darkly.

The hearts of the five sank. "What do you mean, "For now"?" Hiroto demanded.

"Like I said." The man started "I have chosen you all to play a little game."

"Game?" Renn asked in a disturbed voice.

"Oh yes." The man grinned. "A merry little game to test your skills."

The five warriors felt ill. What kind of man abducts people for a game. "Who are you?" Gunpei demanded.

"I have gone by many names." The man stated. "But if you must call me something. You may call me…the Quest Master."

This guy really thinks to highly of himself. The five Go-Ongers all had other names they'd like to call him. But for the time being, they knew nothing of where he has taken Saki and Miu, so they were going to play along.

"Quest Master, huh." Hiroto said. "So then this game of yours is a quest and the quest is to find our girls."

"Bingo Mr. Sutou." The Quest Master said gleefully. "That is the first part of your quest."

"First part?" Hanto asked.

"Oh yes." The Quest Master said. "There is so much that I have planned for you. And finding your fair maidens is the first step to that plan." The discomfort between the five had grown extremely high.

"Tell'ya what." The sinister man started again. "If you can save the girls then they can help you. Though I should warn you, whether or not both of them will play entirely depends on you five."

"Depends on what?" Gunpei asked.

"On how much time it takes you to complete the tasks ahead. I'm going to give you till nightfall to save them. As a token of my good will, there is a map at the bottom of this cube that will lead you to their location." Now the five feel as if they are all going to vomit. This so called "Quest Master" as he has dubbed himself is playing with people's lives as if there was no consequences for his actions. "Whenever you're ready boys. On your mark…get set…Go." The Quest Master said flashing a sickening smile as the hologram vanished.

Hiroto picked up the cube. The bottom of the cube opened up when Hiroto turned it upside down. True to his word, the Quest Master has given them a folded up map of the girls' location. Without debate and without questioning whether or not they should trust in this mad man's gift, the five opened the map and began to study it. Nothing else mattered to them now. All they cared about was getting Saki and Miu back.
