Man. Why do I have to come? Yogostein said that it could help us defeat the Go-Ongers. Anyway, I have to..blend in. Yuck. But that means SPEAKING like those humans.

Eww...as I step in, that's the only thing that comes to my mind. This place is so clean. Why do I have come here anyway? Hopefully I don't...

No, wait. That girl in the silver jacket, sitting near the fountain...don't I know her?

A young man walks up to her. His dark hair is streaked with blonde. Now THAT person, I recognise.

Just my luck. I have to run into the Go-On Wings NOW.

(OOC - just wanted it to look a little like Hoji's got nothing to remind him of his past, so let's just assume that he's using a new henshin device...:D)

I hurry along the corridor, eager to get away from that confusing mess earlier. I open the door of the classroom (oh! That weirdo was right!) but see that the teacher isn't even here yet. Instinctively, I check my watch. Exactly 7am. The time I should arrive. Why isn't the teacher here?

I head over to a seat and place my belongings neatly on the table. Just as I'm done, my DekaPhone vibrates. As I press the 'Accept' key, a small holograph of my teammates appears.

"Takeshi-kun, Kenta-kun, Mizu-chan, Kimiko, Akira-san. Good to see you again."

The others all laugh and wave. I can't help but smile. It's been only about a day or so since I left the Mars branch to come here and we miss each other that much.

"Hoji, you had better come back soon. Chief seems kind of unhappy with the quality of OUR reports." Same old Takeshi. Anything to get out of doing work. Little wonder he's DekaFreedom.

Just then, another person walks into the room. I hurriedly mutter "Gotta go, guys. Talk later." and snap the DekaPhone shut before looking up. The man has hair that practically stands on its own. He's dressed in a Deka uniform, but in Red. His badge is one I have never seen before.

And that Deka just stands there, looking at me with a disbelieving expression on his face. Suddenly, my DekaPhone projects an image of Akira.

"Ban? What are you doing here?"

This place looks so familiar. Have I been here before? I can't remember.

I step into the school grounds, gazing around. All those faces look so familiar. It's like I know them. But I don't remember them at all.

Just then, a girl in yellow walks up to me. She's wearing the same Dekaranger uniform. Another Dekaranger, I see. I haven't been back on Earth for a long while. After my accident, Headquarters dispatched me to Mars.

'Hoji! You're back! Why on earth did you leave?' she exclaims as she stops in front of me. Why does she look so familiar? I don't think I've seen her before!

'Sorry, do I know you?'

(OOC - am in a silly mood. Open to everyone. Previous plot, such as it is, is explained in the post. :) )

Considering I'm condemned to die within the next year thanks to these weird time travelling lizard things, I'm in a surprisingly good mood. I had a bitchfight with GaoBlue, who's now a good friend (maybe I should try that with Gou?), we beat back the weird tentacle monster together, and I haven't been fallen on by any Abarangers for *hours*, now.

I just hope AbareRed's little daughter is okay. It must be weird to lose a whole year of your life. Especially when you have to live with someone like Falling Guy, uh, Yukito. Ryouga's cool enough but Yukito has a stick up his butt the size of Godzilla.

So I'm off to Sixth Hero class, trying to pretend everything's normal. I hope there are some good people coming to this one. Especially since I think I *am* a Sixth Hero, but there's only five in our team, which is just confusing. Maybe someone can explain it to me.

I open the classroom door and stick my head inside. Shirogane waves to me from the other side of the room, so I saunter across.

After letting my vassals slack off for a while, I realize it's probably best to have a training session, to determine how much they have or haven't been praticing on their own. I send ou thte Kuroko to find them, and wait in the school's gym, which is good a place to train as any other.

Oh. We have homework. *sigh* I'm... not good at this.

I stare at the notes, trying to make sense of it, but failing miserably. If only onee-chan was here...

OOC: Help her? Please? Open to everyone!

So here I am, at Sentai Gakuen. I know that Ryuunosuke, Chiaki & Kotoha are already around here somewhere, but I'm not sure exactly where. Mako isn't enrolled yet, but I'm sure she will be here soon.

I look down at my schedule. It reads:

Classes that Shiba, Takeru is enrolled in:

Choosing Your Own Path
Leadership 101
Teamwork 101
Strategy for Heroes

I look around the campus, wondering where my first class is and when I'll run into any one of my vassals.

Open to everyone!

Tono has advised me to make a respectable entrance into this school. Seeing as my first class is How to Properly Crossdress: Proper Disguise Class, I suppose my choice of attire today is fitting. Kotoha is supposed to be here somewhere; she came to this school at the same time as I did. I wonder where the others are? I have not seen Mako or Chiaki or even Tono; though I suppose they would be coming in sooner.

It's hard to walk in this footwear! But I will bear it. For my lord's sake and reputation!

Ah! Someone is coming.

"Excuse me," I say, bowing deeply. "Can you tell me where this classroom is?"

I told Chief where to stick it.

Well not really, but thanks to my friends urging (Ken, Renn, and Jasmine in particular) I told her how I really feel and she just...well she left. She left and I'm still here. Standing in the same spot for the last five minutes staring at the gate and for the life of me I can't figure out why my legs haven't crumpled beneath me. I mean I did just tell off my boss and by some strange miracle I'm still breathing.

Maybe she has a hearing loss?

Breath in Tetsu... 1...2...3...breath out....

Most likely I'm going to loose my status as a Tokkyou for this but surprisingly it doesn't bother me that much, well maybe a little. Its probably because I know I still have a team with the others, that they need me. Its one of the reasons I didn't go with Chief. Because I was needed here.
