Destroy everything, connect everything.

Decade leaned against his Machine Decader, recalling the small amount of research he had done into the Blue Ranger.

After seeing the training sessions Mr. Cranston was in, he needs some help. Since we're generally similar in powers and abilities, what works for me should work for him. If not...well, I'm sure this place has excellent safety protocols.

He stretched, waiting for the Blue Ranger to arrive.

Decade shot a glance over at Kazami. "You want to explain it to him, or should I?"

He cleared his throat before continuing. "I do agree with your analysis. I tend to, and thus encourage, fighting to one's strengths. You have a great ability to plan and you have a great intelligence. Also, your transformed form has great speed and range."

Hearing what Billy said about Goldar, Decade took a minute to consider his words. "Any enemy can be defeated, regardless of their strength, though. Remember that."

Kazami shrugs loosely, clapping a hand to Decade's shoulder. "You're the one teaching the man. I figure that makes it your duty. I'm just the audience."

The audience who gives advice.

Decade placed the palm of his hand over his face. Sure...audience. Whatever helps you sleep at night, Kazami.

"I'll explain it later, Mr. Cranston." Decade said, trying to dodge the issue.

By now, Billy had removed the helmet in order to breathe some unobstructed air. The confusion about the 'Triceratops Kick' was quite obvious on his face. Decade's tone made him wonder what was so strange about that kick.

"Thank you. I've been so single-mindedly focused on the necessity of being able to fight without my powers that I've let them fall into disuse. I'll be more careful to focus on both forms of training from now on, and I definitely want to practice those lance tricks sometime soon."

After a quietly awkward moment, he turned to Kazami and asked "Why doesn't he want to discuss it? Is there a cultural expectation that I'm not aware of?"

Kazami chuckles, shaking his head. "Oh, no. I think he just doesn't want to explain how, out of all the worlds, the same technique keeps popping up."

"I would think, Mr. Cranston, that you would be more interested in the idea that a civilian like Kazami here," Decade began, jabbing a thumb toward V3, "would be so well-known to me. After all, for all you know, this is the first time I've ever met the man." Decade was sounding quite smug.

"It's not too strange," Billy shrugged. "My identity hasn't been a secret since I was rescued, so I have friends I know well who would play a similar role if our positions were reversed."

Glancing at Kazami once and then back to Tsukasa, he decided some reassurance was in order. "But your tone and phrasing suggests otherwise. I promise that I won't tell anyone else about either of you. To reveal yourselves or not is your choice and no one else's." This part is said with a raised eyebrow at Tsukasa.

"I lived under those rules for most of my career as a Ranger, so I've had some practice with covering for people."

Congratulations, Decade, you've successfully steered the conversation away from the strange phenomenon of Rider Kicks.

"Well, Decade, what do you think?" Kazami raises an eyebrow. "He's already convinced that I'm some kind of superhero." He blames comic books, really.

And Decade. This is his fault for pushing the idea that Kazami might be something special. Kazami will remember this, Decade, oh yes. Don't be surprised if an eyepatch appears in your future.

Decade leaned in close to Kazami. "What, you mean you aren't?" He whispered, before raising the volume of his voice to address Billy.

"Mr. Cranston...since I think we've reached a good stopping point, I think we'll call it there for now. If you wish to do more training with me, call me and I may be free to help. I do recommend reading some books on short and long range combat, in addition on some on battle strategy. These will help you gather new ideas that you can blend into your existing style."

"I'll say nothing more about it," he says with a slight smile. Seconds later, hands touch the belt buckle and he de-morphs in a flash of white light.

At the mention of study, he nods. "I will, thank you. I'll call as soon as I'm ready."

After one last appreciative smile, he's headed for the door. Perhaps he's a little wiser and not too much worse for the wear.

"There goes a man with no free time on his hands." Kazami shakes his head and pushes away from his bike, dismissing it from the sensoriums. "If you've got nothing for me, I need to get to the hangar bay. I'm almost halfway through tuning up the motorcycles in there."

It's a very time consuming project, but it keeps him busy and it keeps his mind off of things.

After Billy left, Decade reached up toward his belt buckle and pulled out the Decade card. In a second, all the color fell away from the armor, and it dematerialized, revealing Tsukasa.

"I agree. He's working himself half to death, Kazami. And no, I don't have anything else I want to run by you right now." He started pushing his Machine Decader toward the entrance, fully intending to start it up when he got to a good position to do so.
