"We are Frieza's elite team, the Ginyu Force!"
Fireworks and explosions accompanied the team's pose as Cross arrived.
"No, no, no, no! Your posturing and balance are all wrong! Sentai poses are supposed to reflect their theme, their focus, and their balance!" Cross began her rant as Jeice looked at her, then at Captain Ginyu, confused.
"What do you know about a team? You're just some alien from a strange world. Our team isn't a bunch of misfits. Captain Ginyu here is a real leader."
Cross shook her head, took up one of her older changers, a wrist-based device that she slid a train into, and summoned four clones.
"ToQ Ichigou! ToQ Ichigou!" As the leader, he took a strong and firm stance, fist out, ready to fight.
"ToQ Nigou! ToQ Nigou!" Smart and a bit self-conscious, he used a thumb to straighten the tracks across his visor and then gave a simple half bow.
"ToQ Sangou! ToQ Sangou!" Fiery and yet still feminine, she gave a quick little kick with her foot before making a similar ready punch as Ichigou.
"ToQ Yongou! ToQ Yongou!" A bit more firm and serious, he kept his guard closer, punching with his other fist and taking up a more straight stance.
"ToQ Gogou! ToQ Gogou!" Punctuating her introduction with a bubbly "Hi!" she gave a small jump and then a quick salute while pivoting her hip, brimming with youthful feminine energy.
"Imagining victory!" they shouted together as they formed a circle, their arms creating a line of the arc. Ichigou took a low angle, and the rest followed, arms extended out to the left as they circled back. Gogou finished the circle, standing but leaning right. "Ressha Sentai ToQger!"
Gohan's eyes watered at the absolute brilliance of the display while Captain Ginyu gave a small clap.
"That was masterful, young lady. It's a shame that we're on opposing sides!"
Cross nodded and bowed. "It really is, it really is. It has been quite some time since I've met another Sentai, and I would've loved for us to be able to team up, not face off."
"Recoome is impressed by your choreography. Is there another one you can show us?"
Cross bubbled with excitement as they all powered down to their civilian forms and then pulled out a silver phone. "Absolutely! How about I show you what my first team did!"
The others just looked on incredulously, Vegeta especially finding the entire exchange both absolutely ridiculous and yet not about to interrupt it. That was just bad form—not to interrupt powering up or posturing. As much as he found the entire charade between both teams absolutely ridiculous, he was not about to make them stop. That was just bad procedure. Gohan, on the other hand, was absolutely eating it all up with the brightest smile on his face.
"Wild Access!" This team's poses were a bit more simple as they all jumped into a ready stance, fingers out like claws. As their suits formed, the personality of their animals came out. Red was a lion, so he slapped the ground. Blue was a shark, so he made a waving motion. Black was an ox, so he slapped the ground and then, like a sumo wrestler, took a wide stance and held up his arms as if champion. Yellow was an eagle, so she spread her arms wide as her wings flared out. White was a tiger who, like the lion before, slapped the ground and then took a more close, feminine posture, hips back, claws out, ready to fight.
"Guardians of the Earth!" Claws out, they slapped the ground again before jumping back into their standard pose. Red took the lead, pounding his chest and then reaching out to stretch his hand across his field of view. "United we roar!"
"Power Rangers Wild Force!" the group said in unison.
Ginyu and his force gave slow claps while Vegeta just looked bored, but he wasn't interfering.
"Now you guys try!"
Ginyu gathered his force around, whispering as they busted out their own pose with just as much energy as Cross, which she gave an approving nod and clap to as her clones vanished. The professional exchange finished, the two teams bowed to each other.
Cross stepped ahead for a more personal bow. "My apologies, I cannot match your team for team, but my allies here are rather new, and I haven't been able to build them proper suits."
Normally, Ginyu would just ignore this and go right to the fight, but he enjoyed the exchange and felt a personal professional pride for these particular enemies. After all, Cross understood the flair for the dramatic necessary to be a proper team.
"Quite all right, quite all right, young lady. Tell you what, I will give you 24 hours to postpone this fight. In that time, we will get some of our own armor for your team, and when we reconvene, the fight can begin in earnest. You can get your own team trained up for proper choreography, and we can make this a truly epic standoff. Though I will regret having to kill all of you, still, it will be one grand final battle for you all."
Vegeta scoffed at the very notion that the force was going to kill him. He was, after all, immortal and the prince of all Saiyans. Still, professionals had standards, so he would give the Ginyu Force their day and go along with the silliness because, well, doing anything else would simply be improper.
