"It's in there, Snow?" Anansi asked her leader. They stood on a rooftop, looking to a tall corporate building. The sign at the top bore a familiar symbol of a three-claw mark. "Yes. You. What's your name?" Snow turned to address the thin man who'd accompanied them. For some odd reason, he'd chosen to dress in a lime-green pinstripe suit. "My name is Makirika, sir." He bowed deeply. "Rinjyu Mantis-ken user." "Do you know the technique?" "Yes, sir. I learned it from Mistress Anansi." "Then you know your role in this plot?" "Yes, sir." "Good. Go." Makirika crouched, and leapt off the roof. Snow turned to Anansi. "You know your role as well, I trust?" "Of course." Anansi tugged at the rope around her forearms. "Then go." Anansi walked to the edge, and crossed her forearms. " Ringi: Kurashi Nawa!" The rope flew from her forearms, and she leapt from the roof, swinging to the other building. Snow watched from the roof. ~~~~~~~~ Mele sat in the lobby. She hoped a few of the new Gekirangers would come today. She'd had reports from field agents that some would appear. |

Mary walked into the lobby as she looked around, this certainly looked a little bit fancier than what she was used to. But she had been going to fancy places ever since she took up the job of being a freelance bodyguard so she supposed she shouldn't be too surprised. She was supposed to meet someone and start her job as a 'GekiRanger' whatever that meant as she made sure that both her arms were working fine, it was a pain to maintain both of them, but she was grateful for the second chance to even have an arm as opposed to nothing at all.

Mele looked, seeing someone new walk in. "Please dear god don't tell me this is what I have to work with..." Mele sighed, standing and straightening her jacket. She approached the newcomer, keeping herself as straight and businesslike as possible.

Mary saw someone approaching her as she reflexively tensed up, it was part of her regime when her sensei attacked her out of the blue in order to hone her combat reflexes. It tremendously helped in her bodyguard business as she was able to save people because of that reflex.

Dammit... Sure enough, a pair of GekiChangers. "Hi, I'm Melody. Everyone calls me Mele. You are?" She put on her best smile and extended a hand to shake.

Mary relaxed a bit as she looked at Mele before nodding approvingly, "Name's Mary," she said shaking her hand.

Mele used the shake to probe her Ki. It seemed pure enough, but unharnessed. "Follow me. How long have you studied Jyuken?" Mele led Mary deeper into the building, to a group of elevators. In the corner of her eye, she saw a man in a lime green pinstripe suit walk in.

"Eh I guess not long," Mary said following Mele as she went deeper into the building, at the same time she noticed the man in the strange suit as her instincts were kicking in already, "you?' she asked.

"Rinki..." Mele muttered. "Oh god... Please tell me you're ready to fight." She flipped the tail of her jacket up, whipping out her twin sai.
"Ringi: Gakudanken!" He screamed, swinging his arms rapidly. A massive wave of compressed air and Rinki sliced towards the pair, cutting through the floor as it traveled. Mele leapt to one side, landing in a three-point landing.

"Always," Mary said with a grin before she rolled to the side and readied herself to fight before she ran up to him and went for a solid punch.

He dropped into an odd stance, legs spread shoulder-width and bent almost 90 degrees, and bunched his fingers together, blocking her punch. "Is that the best you've got?" He asked, a mocking smile on his face.
Mele grabbed one of the SCRTC employees up off the floor. "Go, find Director Fu. Tell him he needs to come to the lobby now." The employee nodded and scurried off up the stairs.

"Far from it you bastard," she said as she went for a kick to his side.

He blocked her kick with the same technique, chuckling. "The major weakness of Mantis-ken is an over reliance on the hands." Mele said, as she slammed a foot into the side of his head, sending him screeching along the floor. "Neutralize the hands, neutralize the man."

"Got it," Mary said running towards the mantis-man and went to stomp on his arms.

He rolled out of the way, rising to deliver a quick strike to her shoulder. Mele dashed after her. This woman was fast.
