Japanese Superheroes Unite (Musashi & Crimsonwolfqueen)

[SuperSaiyanMusashi]

Bright yellow sunlight bathed the entire city of Tokyo that sunny Summer Saturday afternoon. In the outer sections of the Japanese metropolis, a spacious green park unfolded, the occasional Sakura could be seen, all of them stood tall and were bearing pretty pink petals. A few people were playing various casual sports in the vast grassy field, just passing sports balls and frisbees among each other while discussing work, school, media, and life.

Under the shade of one of the cherry trees, a strange looking man with long, spiky blue hair tied in a tail looked around to make sure he had enough space around him to avoid bumping into anyone. He wore a white karate gi along with red and gold wristbands. He had 2 swords affixed to him, still in their sheaths: one wide one his back, and a thinner, curved katana on his belt.

The young swordsman reached his 2 hands up high, then, keeping his back and knees straight, reached for the ground and held the stretch for several seconds. He then stretched one leg at a time, followed by a series of arm stretches. Finally, he leaned against the mighty tree, flexed his calf upwards and grabbed his own ankle so he could loosen up his quads. Checking once again to make sure he had enough room, he took his 2 swords out, followed by some soft, padded wrappings that he removed from his belt pouch, despite them looking too large to fit inside such a tiny bag. He applied the peace-bondings to both swords, then proceeded to perform a series of air-slashes and combinations, culminating in a move where he jumped once, did an air jump to flip over once, and land on his feet while double-striking an imaginary target.

Finished with his workout, Musashi sheathed the 2 swords before looking at and tapping his wristband. Feeling its reaction, he lamented, “There’s an Oni in this city; could be nasty in a place with this many people.” He started to leave then suddenly stopped and grabbed his noisy stomach. "Well, can’t hunt Oni on an empty stomach!“ he determined. He walked over to an unoccupied picnic table that sat near several others that people were sitting at. The warrior proceeded to remove a bento box from his pouch along with a bottle of Ramune.

Rei sat in a meditative state in the middle of the park trying to focus on the negative energy she‘d been feeling for weeks, it had cost her sleep. She was running the shrine herself cause her grandfather had passed away, sometimes she just had to get away. College wasn’t her thing because she had to take care of her grandfather shrine, she took her job pretty seriously. She was a high priestess now she didn’t have time to take classes at the university, now she was just trying to figure things out.

Musashi opened his bento box, wherein a generous serving of teriyaki-grilled steak, broccoli, carrots, california rolls and rice awaited his consumption. Chopsticks in hand he took to the hearty meal one piece at a time, excited to eat it all but taking time to savor and chew, as well as getting sips of his drink in regularly. Before finishing, he looked around, seeing many people in the bustling park engaged in all manner of activities. He noticed a very attractive young woman who appeared to be meditating, but soon returned his attention to finishing lunch. Once it was emptied, he closed up the bento box and placed it a sealed hard container which he then placed inside his belt pouch, which it easily fit into despite how tiny the pouch looked. He stood and tapped on his armlet again, feeling it tug and squeeze. "You won't get away from me, Oni." he promised.

One strange man stood in the line outside Meiji-Jingu stadium among many others. He stood out in a strange way; while folks around him were lightly dressed due to the summer heat, and sporting outfits printed with "Tokyo Yakult Swallows" imagery with the occasional "Yomiuri Giants" shirt mixed in, this stranger wore a hooded overcoat coveirng his arms and legs entirely and cast a shadow over his face. Still, since he had a ticket, the security officials permitted him to enter.

Rei sighed as she stood dusting off her robes she gathered up the blanket she’d been sitting on, headed back to the shrine. But since she was in such a rush she didn’t pay attention to where she was going. “ I’m sorry I need to go.” She said running off, was glad when she got back to the shrine. Makoto kino stood behind the counter taking orders for lunches pastry’s etc, she was almost finished with culinary school so by the time she was finished she’d be able to run her own restaurant/bakery/cafe whatever she wanted.

"STRIIIIKE!" the home plate umpire shouted in judgment of Masao Aoyama's first pitch of the game. All the while, the hooded man sat in a section just behind home plate. While fans around him talked, cheered, or shouted, he sat in relative silence, showing no emotion or reaction to the game's events.

(1 hour later)
After walking several steps in the direction his forearm plate tugged, the determined warrior pressed with a couple of fingers from his opposite side hand onto the accessory, noticing it give a warmer squeeze than before, thus indicating he was getting closer to whomever was in possession of the Oni. He looked up and around, now seeing several restaurants and sports bars in the vicinity of Meiji Jingu Stadium. Curious, he looked up at one of the screens visible from the outside and listened as best he could to the sportscasters.

“Runners remain at second and third. 2 out, count now at 2-2, Swallows could really use a hit here to take the lead, especially now having left 7 in scoring position,” a sportcaster’s disembodied voice alerted the viewers.

The pitcher hurled a sinker to the inside section of home plate. As it approached, Musashi spotted a fan in the seats behind home plate whose eyes quickly flashed a bright glowing yellow, causing the warrior to jump slightly. Batter took a swing and hit a hard, fast-moving ground ball to the 3rd base side as the runners took off. The announcer narrated, “Deep to the 3rd base hole this is gonna be close, Machida with a slight bobble, late with the throw, and with Atsuma’s speed, he will be safe and we have a tie ball game!”

The crowds in and out of the stadium reacted, most with cheers, a few with disappointed groans.

Musashi, on the other hand, spoke “It’s here.”

Rei felt a chill run down her spine while she was working, knew what she needed to do. After making sure no one was around she took out her transformation pen. “ Mars Crystal power makeup! “ once she was transformed she ran in the direction of the negative energy, made her stance. “ I am sailor mars the guardian of fire, I will punish you in the name of mars!” She looked at the man controlling the negative energy, everyone around the stadium started to run for their lives. Where was sailor moon when you needed her? Oh she was off with her fiance that had decided to fly her to America so she didn’t feel so lonely without him, Mercury was still finishing up medical school. She didn’t want to bother makoto cause she knew how much her career meant to her.

Inside the ball park, the man whose eyes flashed earlier reached into a belt pouch for a glass jar, the contents of which were 3 Asian giant hornets, though he kept them concealed by keeping most of the jar within the pouch. He slowly removed the lid, then kept gloved hands on the sides of the jar to keep the wasps obscured until he jerked the jar upwards and quickly pulled it back down, setting them free into the air. Once airborne, the already large hornets mutated, turning an odd green color and growing to heights of 3 feet each.



The monster wasps were soon caught on camera, causing people to run away while screaming scared. In the commotion, the odd man attempted to mix in with the fleeing crowd, having the seen the magical girl and her angry stare on him.

Just outside the stadium, Musashi looked up to see many people struggling to exit the superstructure. Knowing of the dangers and his duty to contain them, he quickly looked around and discovered a beetle crawling along a building wall. He took out his katana Fusion and started focusing on it, causing it to emit a blue glow. Once the glow reached full saturation, he hacked at the beetle only for his sword to stop a few inches short and sliced into a previously invisible energy field that now glowed green. With an open-handed gesture, he willed the energy into the sword and in turn, into himself. Then, a bright green flash of light came and went quickly. When it cleared, the beetle scuttled on, unaware that anything happened. "There we are," he said. He headed for the stadium's outer wall, jumped onto it, and stuck to it with his hands. From there, he started climbing up the side of the superstructure by sticking to the walls.

Once over the outer wall, he spotted a pair of unlucky fans cornered by one of the 3 mutated hornets. He performed a double jump with his immense strength and drove his heavy sword Lumina into the big bad bug's back then slid down leaving a big gash wound in the monster. Damaged but still alive, it turned around and slashed with stinger. The fencer met the stinger with his lighter sword Fusion, causing a loud clang to be heard.

“ Mars flame sniper! “ She shouted as she made the stance for the attack, hoped no innocent bystanders were hit. the raven haired fire senshi was on her own until she heard a familiar voice, she turned around to see sailor Jupiter. “ Jupiter oak evolution!” The brunette shouted, looked around for anyone that might need to get to safety quickly then her eyes fell on him as he scaled the stadium. She was a bit confused but she was pretty sure he was on their side, she could occasionally trust her instinct.

One of the huge green hornets emitted a weird muffled screech as it was lit on fire by Sailor Mars's burning jet. Its flight took an erratic path for a moment before being blasted full of holes by the subsequent barrage of leaflets. Its exoskeleton, having been softened by the fire, was easily punctured. It fell to the hard surface of the seating area and emitted a red and purple smoke from which a pair of glowing red orbs floated from. When the smoke cleared, the hornet was back to normal, alive and breathing, but unconscious.

Musashi nimbly dodged one thrust from the hornet he was fighting, causing it to sting to the concrete and dull the tip of its deadly weapon. He quickly grabbed the abdomen of the nasty bug and, using his super strength, slammed it into the solid metal guardrail head first. He then stuck Lumina into the mutant wasp's tail to pin it down, then ran up to its head and drive Fusion right through its nose and brain. Upon being impaled, this hornet, like the first, faded into smoke and glowing orbs. The brave fencer reached out and concentrated, causing the glowing balls to fly into his arm band and vanish.

Musashi breathed a sigh of relief, then looked to see that 2 stunningly beautiful women in very short sexy colorful dresses appeared to have defeated another one of the deadly oni-infused insects. He was about to greet them until he heard the buzz of huge wings, indicating that their job was unfinished. Thus, he took hold of his 2 swords and advised his apparent allies, "Look alive; there's one left!"
