“If your team is as good as you, then this city is well cared for.” Sheba hands over her business card. “And if you ever see part of your city absorbed into an interdimensional book, give me a call, all right?”

“That’s a good thing about humanity. They’ll always rebuild. No matter how bad your fight may get, they’ll always rebuild.” Sailor Astarte waves her hand towards the crater, causing it be mostly filled in. Just a little smoothing at the top will be needed. “But sometimes, it’s good to give that rebuilding a head start.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you by the way.” Sailor Astarte lets her sailor uniform fade back into her original dress. “My name is Sheba Shingetsu Astarte. What is your name?”

    𝓚elsey’s face lit up when she saw the heroine fill in the crater for most of it. Though not visable underneath, she was sure to make her emotions clear with her actions. Stretching her finger tips out and lowering her hands slightly and outwards to her sides after they were initially curled slightly and close to her chest, she eventually spoke. “Wow! that’s so cool! We could totally use something like that on our Ranger team.” When the young woman introduced herself, Kelsey powered down from her Ranger uniform into her casual attire, equipped with her Ranger coat like always. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.” She then stretched out her hand toward the other. “I’m Kelsey Winslow. Lightspeed Rescue Yellow Ranger.”

One door opens, depositing Thesia right into Sheba’s arms. “All right. Let’s keep moving forward. Did you find any clues that might guide us through the maze a bit better?”

(world-of-kamen-rider) “...Are you saying you have... prophecies? What kind? What do they say?!” Thesia looked stressed out.

“I was looking into some old texts in Wonder World. One of these mentions ‘A princess whose inner beast shall be calmed by the presence of a goddess.’ I’m pretty sure that refers to you and me, especially since my Wonder Ridebook also calls me a goddess.”

[astartesenshi]

Meanwhile, Sheba is calculating. She knows where those traps were, and with a good enough running start...

She takes two steps back and breaks into a run towards the other side of the hall. But before she reaches the area where the traps were, she instead leaps towards the wall and runs along it, coming down after four long strides on the other side.

“If only Haruhi could have seen that.” Sheba says, smiling. She lightly knocks on the wall. “I’m on the other side of the traps, Thesia. If you can find some shortcuts, let me know, all right?”

(world-of-kamen-rider) “...Are you saying you have... prophecies? What kind? What do they say?!” Thesia looked stressed out.

“I was looking into some old texts in Wonder World. One of these mentions ‘A princess whose inner beast shall be calmed by the presence of a goddess.’ I’m pretty sure that refers to you and me, especially since my Wonder Ridebook also calls me a goddess.”

[astartesenshi]

“I am one of the Sailor Senshi. It is a pleasure to meet you young man. Though I do not envy your position in the next five minutes. How many bags do you think you will be carrying by the end of the day?” She gives him a smile and waves her hand, giving him a divine boost of energy to get through the day.

“Now, everyone, have a wonderful day. Perhaps next time, I can tell you my whole story.” Sheba prepares to leave the scene and take to the rooftops. 

astartesenshi​:

“Red and I did not part on good terms.” Sailor Astarte answers. “I do hope he has calmed down recently. It was so hard to hold a conversation with him in the old days.” She steps back from Blue. “You’ll be fine. Have a good day, old friend.”

“The same to you. Farewell, ladies. Farewell, Astarte.” Blue vanishes into the mirror and Astarte walks over to the Pretty Cure.

 “I believe you were shopping before that monster appeared. I will keep watch over this part of the city to make sure its creator doesn’t return. You should get back to your shopping, if you can.” She gives them each a bright smile. “If you are the ones he has chosen, this city is definitely in good hands.”

“We were just about to do that! I haven’t picked out the perfect fall outfit yet!” Cure Princess said, her priorities clear.

“It was nice meeting you, Sailor Astarte,” Cure Swan said, smiling. “Hopefully our next meeting will be under better circumstances.”

It was then that Seiji chose to return. He looked none the worse for wear despite guiding a bunch of civilians to safety while fending off Choiarks on the way. He looked to Astarte and back to the Happiness Charge Precure.

“Is that another new friend?” He asked. His gaze was mostly on Cure Lovely and Cure Swan.

After a little pushing, Thesia finds a small door, big enough for her to pass through, but far too short for Sheba to pass through. “Go on through, and see if you can find controls to disconnect the traps.”

(world-of-kamen-rider) “...Are you saying you have... prophecies? What kind? What do they say?!” Thesia looked stressed out.

“I was looking into some old texts in Wonder World. One of these mentions ‘A princess whose inner beast shall be calmed by the presence of a goddess.’ I’m pretty sure that refers to you and me, especially since my Wonder Ridebook also calls me a goddess.”

[astartesenshi]

“I believe that the Minotaur had special doors in the maze that allowed it to get around the traps. Let’s see if we can find something like that for you. You were able to open the door, after all.”

(world-of-kamen-rider) “...Are you saying you have... prophecies? What kind? What do they say?!” Thesia looked stressed out.

“I was looking into some old texts in Wonder World. One of these mentions ‘A princess whose inner beast shall be calmed by the presence of a goddess.’ I’m pretty sure that refers to you and me, especially since my Wonder Ridebook also calls me a goddess.”

[astartesenshi]

“It all depends on the age of the traps and when they were added to the Labyrinth. Cover your ears for a moment, please.” Sheba turns her choral mask shoulder guard towards the hallway, and sends a sonic burst down the path to trigger any other traps that might be in this room. Four more traps activate and quickly stop.

(world-of-kamen-rider) “...Are you saying you have... prophecies? What kind? What do they say?!” Thesia looked stressed out.

“I was looking into some old texts in Wonder World. One of these mentions ‘A princess whose inner beast shall be calmed by the presence of a goddess.’ I’m pretty sure that refers to you and me, especially since my Wonder Ridebook also calls me a goddess.”

[astartesenshi]

As they enter, torches light up on either side of the wall. “Mark the wall here with the paint, please.” Sheba says. “We need to remember this is where we came in. Even if there’s only supposed to be one exit to the Labyrinth, we’re not planning to explore it all today.”

She takes a step forward and a single arrow fires, missing her ankle by an inch. But there’s a grinding from the walls and Sheba bends down to look at it. “The other arrows are so rotted in those holes, that there’s nothing to fire.”

(world-of-kamen-rider) “...Are you saying you have... prophecies? What kind? What do they say?!” Thesia looked stressed out.

“I was looking into some old texts in Wonder World. One of these mentions ‘A princess whose inner beast shall be calmed by the presence of a goddess.’ I’m pretty sure that refers to you and me, especially since my Wonder Ridebook also calls me a goddess.”

[astartesenshi]

The passageway opens up, with the stone door turning into three circular channels that rotate into each other like massive gears, before sliding backwards into the shadows. 

“Well, let’s go in there, my minotaur friend.” Sheba gently nudges Thesia ahead of her.

(world-of-kamen-rider) “...Are you saying you have... prophecies? What kind? What do they say?!” Thesia looked stressed out.

“I was looking into some old texts in Wonder World. One of these mentions ‘A princess whose inner beast shall be calmed by the presence of a goddess.’ I’m pretty sure that refers to you and me, especially since my Wonder Ridebook also calls me a goddess.”

[astartesenshi]

“A Minotaur? Well, that may make matters easier inside the maze.” She’s not going to question it. After all, she knew that this is Midoras’ sister beforehand.

After landing near the entrance to the ruins, Sheba waits a few moments for the sun to reach its zenith before moving near the largest of the standing stone. “Place your hands on the stone, please, Thesia. Perhaps the Minotaur is the key to opening the door.”

(world-of-kamen-rider) “...Are you saying you have... prophecies? What kind? What do they say?!” Thesia looked stressed out.

“I was looking into some old texts in Wonder World. One of these mentions ‘A princess whose inner beast shall be calmed by the presence of a goddess.’ I’m pretty sure that refers to you and me, especially since my Wonder Ridebook also calls me a goddess.”

[astartesenshi]

“That will do just fine.” Sheba places all the items into a backpack and sets it aside as she reactivates her armor. “Ready for another flight, Princess?” She asks with a tilt of the head in Thesia’s direction.

(world-of-kamen-rider) “...Are you saying you have... prophecies? What kind? What do they say?!” Thesia looked stressed out.

“I was looking into some old texts in Wonder World. One of these mentions ‘A princess whose inner beast shall be calmed by the presence of a goddess.’ I’m pretty sure that refers to you and me, especially since my Wonder Ridebook also calls me a goddess.”

[astartesenshi]

“There are some mysteries that are best left for another time. ”Sheba says. “Gentaro is a young man who is driven by friendship and a boundless desire to improve the lives of people he calls friends. Your life would definitely be improved by him playing even a small part in it.” Sheba  leads Thesia down to the stores. She causes a bit of consternation when she pays for her purchases in gold coins, but soon they’re stocked up.

“Before we head to the labyrinth, let’s agree on a symbol. Something we can paint on the wall in level sections at your eye level. If this symbol moves up or down from that point, we’ll know the walls are moving up and down. It also needs to be a unique symbol. Something that we would know if it was turned around. Any ideas?”

(world-of-kamen-rider) “...Are you saying you have... prophecies? What kind? What do they say?!” Thesia looked stressed out.

“I was looking into some old texts in Wonder World. One of these mentions ‘A princess whose inner beast shall be calmed by the presence of a goddess.’ I’m pretty sure that refers to you and me, especially since my Wonder Ridebook also calls me a goddess.”

“That’s a good thing about humanity. They’ll always rebuild. No matter how bad your fight may get, they’ll always rebuild.” Sailor Astarte waves her hand towards the crater, causing it be mostly filled in. Just a little smoothing at the top will be needed. “But sometimes, it’s good to give that rebuilding a head start.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you by the way.” Sailor Astarte lets her sailor uniform fade back into her original dress. “My name is Sheba Shingetsu Astarte. What is your name?”

The force of the divinely assisted leap drives the demon down into a crater in the street, preventing any cameras that might be around from seeing Kelsey’s spear go right through the face and two inches into the ground.

The demon mutters a curse at Kelsey and Sheba as its body dissolves like a chocolate bar exposed to sulfuric acid.

Sailor Astarte wrinkles her nose at the stench. One advantage a Power Ranger must have is some kind of filter built into their helmets.

“I don’t think that one will be coming back for a while.” She leaps up to the edge of the crater and offers a hand to lift Kelsey out.

      𝓡aising her hand, Kelsey touched a finger to the side of her helmet and her visor raised to expose her face and respirator that was hidden underneath. She then made her way over toward the crater that was a result of the fight and now had a molten remains of a demon in the middle of it. “I don’t think so either.” She said rather confidently.  Turning to her new friend, Kelsey extended her hand out in return to shake the woman’s offered hand in return. “I’ll call Lightspeed and get them to come take care of this mess… I’m sure I could help out with rebuilding the road as well… Kinda feel bad some fights destroy the city.” She added, raising her hand that was being shook to the back of her helmet in an apologetic gesture.

Sailor Astarte mounts up on the largest leaves of the beanstalk and drives a kick into the Worm’s face before boucing off and striking it under the chin with both hands.

(Tokusatsu-free-4-all) "Oi, Sora! Don't run off!" Ryo said as he was walking with his son.

Sheba is around the corner from their position, and as Sora comes around, the young boy will see Sailor Astarte fighting against a monster that doesn’t look like any kind of Megiddo. It’s a large green humanoid insect that seems to be hunched over inside its own cocoon.

When the Worm sees Sora, it tries to move towards the boy, only for Sailor Astarte’s arm to block its progress. She casually throws the Worm into the brick wall behind it.

“Sorry, Worm. Child is not on your menu today.”

[astartesenshi]

“If you see Gentaro before I do, tell him that Shoutarou is wrong. He’ll know what I’m talking about.” Philip smiles as his DoubleDriver appears around his waist. “Oh, looks like Shoutarou needs me. Have a good day, ladies.” Philip ushers them towards the door before taking out his Cyclone memory.

“All right, Thesia. Let’s go gather supplies for the trip. We’ll need food, water, those paints Philip was talking about, and flashlights.” Sheba says, closing the garage door behind them.

(world-of-kamen-rider) “...Are you saying you have... prophecies? What kind? What do they say?!” Thesia looked stressed out.

“I was looking into some old texts in Wonder World. One of these mentions ‘A princess whose inner beast shall be calmed by the presence of a goddess.’ I’m pretty sure that refers to you and me, especially since my Wonder Ridebook also calls me a goddess.”

[astartesenshi]

The Worm is not having a good day. First it gets attacked by a Sailor Senshi, and then by a man with a big sword. And there really isn’t anywhere it can to dodge the sword. The Dogoken Gekido cleaves down through the Worm’s shoulder, keeping it from moving away from the two heroes.

“End it quickly. If that worm molts, we’ll never be able to catch it!”

(Tokusatsu-free-4-all) "Oi, Sora! Don't run off!" Ryo said as he was walking with his son.

Sheba is around the corner from their position, and as Sora comes around, the young boy will see Sailor Astarte fighting against a monster that doesn’t look like any kind of Megiddo. It’s a large green humanoid insect that seems to be hunched over inside its own cocoon.

“Sorry, Worm. Child is not on your menu today.”

“If you two are going into a labyrinth today, may I suggest a slightly more modern method of tracking your progress than a bundle of twine?” Philip says. “Down the street from here by a block and a half is a craft supply shop. You can buy black light reactive paint and miniature black lights there.”

“That’s very helpful. Thank you, Philip.” Sheba offers her hand to Thesia again.

(world-of-kamen-rider) “...Are you saying you have... prophecies? What kind? What do they say?!” Thesia looked stressed out.

“I was looking into some old texts in Wonder World. One of these mentions ‘A princess whose inner beast shall be calmed by the presence of a goddess.’ I’m pretty sure that refers to you and me, especially since my Wonder Ridebook also calls me a goddess.”
