Episode 1: Pain Is Power - Cont.

[grandest_delusion]

[The video seems to pick up quickly after Nobuo's last post, as three dolls were unveiled, and said to be statues of Aoi-tan. The Moe Moe Z-Cune 01s to be precise.]

Codeword is Grand Delusion. [Instructed Hakase.]

[Excitedly, the group took up their Z-Cunes and Nobuo performed an arm sweep and brought it up to his side.] Grand Delusion!

[The scene changed to an abandoned warehouse as three forms, one blue, one yellow and one red stood there. While similar in color to the Rangers of old, their suits were a mix of hybridized metals and other materials. But they did look rather cool with their logo stencilled across their chests.]

WHAAAAAAAAATTTT?! [Yelled Nobuo, completely in shock.]

A warehouse? Why are we here? [Inquired Mitsuki.]

This is one of Sentai's most common settings! That's not even the surprising part! We have actually... Totally... just transformed!

[A beeping noise came from his side and Nobuo withdrew a firearm which unfolded into the MMZ.]

I told you, this wasn't just filming a TV show.

Then that means... I'm a Sentai Red for real? AWESOME! SUPER AWESOME!

[In short order, the group were put through their training paces, testing out their powers as Mitsuki destroyed a giant wrecking ball with a single punch, and then the trio shot up another even bigger one. The trio were celebrating as Nobuo exclaimed,]

We can do it! We're the 37th Super Sentai!

Well no. You're not. Unless you get official recognition, complete with a TV adaptation of your adventures that airs specifically on Sunday morning, you're not really part of the Super Sentai series. In other words... you're merely an Unofficial Sentai.

[Touched by her words, the trio agreed to continue on, and later on, Nobuo is still dancing on air as he does deliveries.]

This is going to be great! But... I wonder who we're going to fight... not like a villain will just pop out of thin air.

Got a question.

What's a Sentai?

Re: [Locked from Michael for the entire thread yada yada]

[grandest_delusion]

What's a Sentai? A Sentai is a transforming hero that has been Japan's national pride for the last thirty five years! They've entertained children and adults alike for years!

[strippedofgrace]

Oh.

So they're like Japanese sports people?

[grandest_delusion]

Naw, naw, no way! They're better than sports people! Listen, in April 5, 1975 to March 26, 1977 on TV Asahi, they were the first Super Sentai, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger. Leading the group was AkaRanger, Red.

They fought the Black Cross terrorist group under the command of EAGLE, a team meant to defend the Earth from them! AkaRanger is the most decorated hero of them all!

[strippedofgrace]

Oh, so like angels. Great.

[grandest_delusion]

Well there's only been one team that was Angels. The Tensou Sentai Goseiger, the Thirty-Fourth Super Sentai team. They came from a place called Gosei World but they're Angels who do good deeds in secret.

[strippedofgrace]

So you're just a regular guy who wants to be a Sentai 'cause it looks fun?

[nowarningshots]

...seriously? You've gotta be kidding me. They'll let anyone have superpowers these days.

[grandest_delusion]

Told you Super Sentai were awesome!

[nowarningshots]

They can't be that cool if they'll let you join!

[grandest_delusion]

Says you! I am totally awesome.

[nowarningshots]

Yeah... no. Now me, I'm pretty awesome and badass. You should be more like me!

[grandest_delusion]

Why would I want to be like you? You're not even Super Sentai.

[hisownpath]

"Unofficial Sentai"? Is that really possible?

[grandest_delusion]

Yep. Until we get onto Sunday Morning Superhero Time blocks, we won't be able to become official. That is, till Toei notices us.

[hisownpath]

That shouldn't be too hard. Fights are always loud and exciting, so someone has to overhear!

[grandest_delusion]

That's true! Except, well, um... our enemies haven't shown themselves yet... so...

[hisownpath]

Oh yeah... They gotta show up somehow. How peaceful are things over here usually?

[grandest_delusion]

Ah, dull, nothing of note. I mean there's anime events and Toei stuff but really there's nothing here.

[sumofallreds]

So...not JUST an actor, huh? Congrats are in order I suppose.

[Though he is confused as to just how they moved from place to place so damn fast.]

[grandest_delusion]

I can't believe it myself! We're actually a full fledged Sentai!

... Well almost. We need Toei's endorsement first.

[sumofallreds]

So if you do that....I suppose we'll see each other sometime in my world? At least I'm guessing that's how it'll work?

[grandest_delusion]

That's what I'm hoping! If we get official, then we'll join the ranks as the 37th Super Sentai! They announced Go-Busters officially a while ago.

[sumofallreds]

Well good then. Just....don't go overboard. As far as I can tell, while you've knowledge, you're still pretty green.

[grandest_delusion]

The group needs polish I can tell you that. Mitsuki's strong and the most skilled of all three of us, but she doesn't have the Sentai knowledge she needs to triumph. Yumeria and I are the opposite, even if we are in good shape.
