In this chapter, out heroes face off against two of the monsters. As they do, more secrets threaten to come out. What are they and how will they handle them?
In this chapter, we’re introduced to the rest of the characters: sibling team Eli and Jennifer Fleight, Serena Watson, and Dante Sparda. And not only that, but a great conflict will soon arise.
Before I begin, I should also mention that 3.5 will also have broad strokes to its continuity, but not as severe as II through IV. Also, for all purposes, Dante will replace Rika for the beginning several chapters until the woman herself makes an appearance.
I do want to let y'all know that I will be postponing Super Sentai vs. Power Rangers IV Reloaded for a little bit, in light of the tragic news of Jason David Frank’s passing. It’s in extremely poor taste, I feel, to write a story revolving the deaths of several Rangers at this time.
No, Tommy will not be one of them. In fact, in the Rika Liveblogging Universe, he will be retired, I will never pull an Akizuki.
It has, in addition, changed the fate of one of the characters in particular, namely Dr. Edward Payne. Originally, he was going to be killed off either in the original IV, where he would have used his Dino Gem one last time, or the original V, where he would have either died offscreen or gave his life to save Arika’s.
Instead, I do plan to have him survive the entire story. When I am able to write again, you’ll find out how.
