ôAh! After Ten Thousand years IÆm free! ItÆs time to conquer Earth!ö Exclaimed a small, blue haired girl as she pulled herself free of the dustbin she had been trapped in, for those Ten Thousand years.
ôWench! I swear IÆll sue you for sexual harassment for this!ö An irate blond yelled, as he attempted to pull himself out of the dust bin, his red eyes glaring at her, as if the concentrated force of his hatred could cause her to burst into flames.
ôButà But Gil-Chanàö She turned and gave him her best kicked puppy look, complete with trembling lip and tears.
ôNo! I have seen that look enough to be immune to its effect wench!ö He yelled, as he finally pulled himself free of the dumpster, allowing the man clad in black armour, and the grey skinned giant to pull them selves free.
Apparently, the dumpster was bigger on the inside.

"Alaya! ORT has escaped! Recruit a team of five overbearing and over-emotional humans" The voice of Gaia echoed around the command centre, even as her face materialized in the central pillar.
"Oh no. Not that! Not... teenagers!" The mechanical voice of Alaya responded, bringing its hand up to the closest thing it had to a face.
ôThat is correct Alaya," it mumbled, even as it began the necessary sequence.
Alaya could only sigh, "I was afraid of that."

Dragging his feet, a black haired youth slowly pulled himself a chair in the local Youth Centre, before collapsing on the table.
ôSo, whatÆs got you so down Shiki? Sister giving you grief again?ö A tall red haired boy asked as he approached, giving the glasses wearing teen beside him a small slap on the back. Glaring up at his friend, Tohno Shiki fixed his glasses, which had been knocked askew with the force of the slap.
ôShirou.ö He nodded.
ôI just donÆt get it, what does she have against me getting a girlfriend?ö He asked, not really expecting an answer.
ôThat would be called jealousy, Tohno.ö A new presence made its self known.
Ryuudou Issei took a seat, his glasses reflecting the light in such a way that it hid his eyes.
ôYour sister does not like the idea of having to share her brother. especially if itÆs with another woman.ö He elaborated as he took his seat next to his fellow glasses wearing friend.
ôIssei.ö Shiki greeted weakly, before groaning and collapsing into his arms again.
ôWhat took you so long?ö Shirou questioned the monk-in-training; normally Issei was there before he was.
ôI was being harassedàö He answered, somewhat tersely.
This caused Shiki and Shirou to blink at him once, before turning and giving each other a knowing grin, and shared a small chuckle.
ôSo, who was it? Was it the twins?ö Shirou badgered his friends, a friendly smile on his face.
ôI bet it was that blue haired woman we saw him with at the temple the other day, you know IsseiÆs into the older ones!ö Shiki countered laughing, deliberately not leaving Issei enough to time defend against the allegations.
ôAre the potÆs calling the kettle black, boys?ö The unmistakeably smug tone of voice belonging to Tohsaka Rin invaded the heckling of poor Issei, causing all three boyÆs heads to face her.
ôàI donÆt get it.ö Shirou mumbled, blinking in confusion, as he tried to puzzle the meaning of the school idolÆs statement. He knew what it meant of course, he wasnÆt stupid, but he wasnÆt quite sure how he was in a similar situation to Issei.
Shiki, on the other hand, flinched back at the reminder of his dilemma, and the reason he had been depressed earlier. He was well aware that he was the subject of more then a few girls ôattentionsö, but as he was already seeing someone, he preferred to play at being oblivious.
As opposed to Shirou and Issei who just were oblivious.
The thought was enough to get a small chuckle out of the boy.
ôNo Sakura today, Tohsaka?ö The dark haired teen questioned, noticing the unusual absence of the purple haired underclassman, something both Issei and Shirou had over looked.
ôNo, she and Shinji went to the Hospital to visit Kariya.ö She responded, shaking her head slightly, as she took a seat, deliberately placing herself just a little closer to Shirou then was strictly necessary, or polite.
The subtleties of the action were, of course, lost of the red haired teen, much to Shiki's private amusement.
Before he could needle his friends however, the air surrounding them began to distort, colours taking place of the familiar surroundings of the Youth Centre. Struggling futilely against the feeling of being pulled and stretched, even as he ôfeltö his body disintegrate, for lack of a better term, he knew one thing.
ÆSomehow, I just know this is your fault Shirou!Æ

To be honest, I think the Tsukihime side of things might actually be heavily underrepresented at this stage.
And for the record, Sakura and Shinji are going to be important for one of the standard Power Rangers/Super Sentai tropes.
