Jazz was the first to get up as he got something out of his subspace pocket. It was a black, rectangular device with blue highlights and three slots for a circular object to fit in. He put the device to his waist so it could form a belt. A circular device appeared at his right while a cylinder appeared at his left. Jazz then fished out three coins from his subspace. They were colored differently and had an animal design on them. The red coin with a hawk went into the right slot, the yellow one with a tiger went in the middle slot, and the green on with a grasshopper went in the left slot. He then tilted the device at an angle to his left foot. He grabbed the circular device on his right and slid it across the tilted coin holder from right to left. \u201cHenshin!\u201d he called. The belt then spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTAKA! TORA! BATTA!\u201d it announced as images of the coins appeared from top to bottom. \u201cTatoba! Tatoba, Tatoba!\u201d it sang as the images combined into one and moved to his chest. His paint job went black and his helmet changed to look like a red hawk in flight with green insect eyes. The arms and shoulders gained yellow highlights and a set of folded back claws. The legs gained green highlights. Jazz spun around on his feet before pointing at Aaron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShall we?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI felt magic when you changed!\u201d yelped Aaron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah, well,\u201d mused Jazz, \u201cI ain\u2019t the wizard that made this thing the real OOO Driver. Let\u2019s just say that a friend helped me in that regard.\u201d Aaron scoffed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ll find that friend of yours and turn him into ash,\u201d he declared. \u201cUt Gigans!\u201d He grew to Jazz\u2019s height. Jazz had seen the spell in action before, so he wasn\u2019t totally surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll have to get through me first,\u201d taunted Jazz. \u201cI\u2019ve got the eyes of a hawk, the strength of a tiger, and the jumping power of a grasshopper. On top of that, I don\u2019t think punching metal would be a good idea, even at your current size.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAn oversight to be corrected,\u201d snapped Aaron. \u201cDura Cutis!\u201d His skin turned into metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd there goes that advantage,\u201d sighed Jazz. He shrugged, then charged at Aaron. The claws folded forward as he made a slashing attack. He then swiped the OOO Scanner across the belt again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSCANNING CHARGE!\u201d called the belt. Jazz then leapt into the air and made a diving kick with both of his legs. He gave of the original OOO\u2019s battle cry of \u201cSeiya!\u201d as he made the kick connect. It made a scratch on Aaron, who laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo you wish to continue this dance of futility?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m gonna have to go stag on that,\u201d joked Jazz as he pulled out a green medal with a stag beetle design on it. He swapped it for the hawk medal and swiped the scanner again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKUWAGATA! TORA! BATTA!\u201d called the belt. The helmet changed to a green one with stag beetle horns and orange eyes. The top of the image on his chest went from red hawk to green stag beetle. Jazz then started projecting lighting from the horns, until Aaron seemed to take it into his hands and threw it at a car in the air. Thankfully, Jazz caught it in time. He tore out some pavement and tossed it at Aaron. Once the people inside the car had gotten out, Jazz turned to Aaron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll right,\u201d he snarled as he took out another green medal, this one with a mantis design, \u201cstart praying, boy!\u201d He swapped it with the tiger medal and once again ran the scanner over the belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKUWAGATA! KAMAKIRI! BATTA!\u201d announced the belt \u201cGata-Gata-Gatakiriba! Gatakiriba!\u201d Jazz then gave off a roar and multiplied himself to become an army of 100! Aaron smirked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s supposed to intimidate me?\u201d he asked \u201cEt Multiplicabo Centum!\u201d That was the spell that allowed him to multiply to the number he specified. His army lined up. \u201cAre you all familiar with the plan?!\u201d he shouted to his clones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSIR! YES, SIR!\u201d confirmed his clones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen, CHARGE!\u201d he shouted. The army of Aaron clashed with the army of Gatakiriba Jazz. The battle was evenly matched with the two one man armies, until one of the Aaron clones took off one of the Jazz\u2019s OOO Driver. It turned him back into Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat the?\u201d yelped the now de-transformed Jazz clone. The others saw it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat never happened in the show!\u201d cried another Jazz clone. That was the opening that specific Aaron clone was looking for and it punched through the Jazz clone. It disappeared in a pained scream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDON\u2019T LET UP!\u201d shouted the original Jazz. Easier said than done, the Jazz army was getting slaughtered! With all the versions of Jazz screaming in agony before they faded away, Jazz had to pull back 9 other versions of himself so they could fight later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCOWARD!\u201d roared Aaron. \u201cThat\u2019s just like you machines! You flee the instant logic is thrown out the window and your precious battle plans go awry! That\u2019s why magic shall be supreme!\u201d As Aaron dismissed his clones, Jazz and his clones were catching their breath. They removed their belts and discussed their next plan of attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m being melodramatic when I say this is monumentally bad!\u201d gulped one of the clones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have an option,\u201d replied another clone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat did you have in mind?\u201d asked the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFirst, why don\u2019t we check the core medals we have?\u201d quizzed the clone. The others shrugged and then pulled out the medal collection they each had. It was then that two clones had a full red set each. In fact, there were multiple copies of Jazz\u2019s medal collection. \u201cOkay,\u201d remarked the clone that ask for a medal check, \u201cthat makes my plan a lot easier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t mean\u2026,\u201d realized another clone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll combos?\u201d asked the original. The clone nodded. \u201cThen I guess I\u2019ll take the Tatoba combo!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ll take Gatakiriba!\u201d declared the second clone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLatoratah for me!\u201d announced another clone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSagozo!\u201d called the first clone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTajador will be mine!\u201d interjected another clone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be swimming with Shauta!\u201d proclaimed another clone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStomping around with Putotyra!\u201d sang another one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSlithering with Burakawani!\u201d said another with a hiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ll take Tamashi!\u201d called the ninth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI guess I\u2019ll take the Super Tatoba combo!\u201d remarked the last. They fished out the medals for those combos and inserted them into the belt. Once they swiped the scanner, they all said \u201cHenshin!\u201d and let the combos form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTAKA! TORA! BATTA! Tatoba! Tatoba, Tatoba!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKUWAGATA! KAMAKIRI! BATTA! Gata-Gata-Gatakiriba! Gatakiriba!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLION! TORA! CHEETAH!\u201d The arms stayed the same as the Tatoba combo. The helmet had blue eyes and looked like a yellow lion\u2019s mane. The legs were yellow as well. \u201cLata Lata! Latoratah!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSAI! GORILLA! ZOU!\u201d The outfit turned silver, with the head looking like a rhino\u2019s horn and gained red eyes. The arms looked more like a gorilla\u2019s. The feet became heavier and made of denser steel. \u201cSagozo! Sagozo!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTAKA! KUJAKU! CONDOR!\u201d The outfit turned red with the helmet gaining larger wings and the eyes turning red as well. The shoulder pads looked like a peacock\u2019s feathers with some sort of shield on the left arm. The feet became sharpened like talons. \u201cTajador!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSHACHI! UNAGI! TAKO!\u201d The outfit turned blue with the helmet gaining an orca pattern and yellow eyes. The arms had whip like weapons on them and the legs had suckers on them. \u201cSha-Sha-Shauta! Sha-Sha-Shauta!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPTERA! TRICERA! TYRANNO!\u201d The outfit was purple with the eyes turning green, and the wings going from hawk-like to Pteranodon-like. He gained a set of Pteranodon wings as well. The shoulders got Triceratops horns on each side. The legs became claw-like. \u201cPutotyrannosaurus!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCOBRA! KAME! WANI!\u201d The helmet gained purple eyes and a snake \u201cturban\u201d with a ponytail like extension. The arms were yellow-orange and had half of a turtle\u2019s shell on each one. The legs became orange and had a tooth pattern. \u201cBurakawani!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTAKA! IMAGIN! SHOCKER!\u201d The head remained the same as the Tatoba head, but the arms were red with a large horn on each shoulder. The legs were golden with a wing design. \u201cTamashi! Tamashi, Tamashi! Rider Damashii!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSUPER! SUPER! SUPER! SUPER TAKA! SUPER TORA! SUPER BATTA!\u201d Instead of being mainly black with red, yellow, and green designs, it was red, yellow, and green with black designs. \u201cSuper! Tatoba, Tatoba! SUPER!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe ready?\u201d asked Tatoba Jazz. The response was positive. \u201cThen, CHARGE!\u201d All the combos charged at Aaron. Aaron smirked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, that is precious!\u201d he laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTajador! Putotyra! You guys first!\u201d said Tatoba Jazz. Tajador Jazz grabbed the three green medals, opened the shield, put the medals in it, closed the shield, and put the scanner on top. The medals spun around the shield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKUWAGATA! KAMAKIRI! BATTA! GIN! GIN! GIN! GIGA SCAN!\u201d called the scanner. Energy formed around the shield as he prepared to punch. When he did, a green energy disc flew out of the shield and landed a hit on Aaron. Aaron staggered, but still had the smirk. Putotyra Jazz slammed his fist into the ground, making a purple light glow from the cracks. He then pulled out an ax with a purple blade and an open t-rex mouth holding the blade. He then put a silver medal with an x into the top of the blade, let it go down the blade, and then closed the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGOKKUN!\u201d it growled as Putotyra Jazz swung another handle down to turn it into a bazooka. He let the energy charge up before pulling the trigger. \u201cPutotyranno Hissatsu!\u201d Once he pulled the trigger, a large purple blast struck Aaron square in the chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat should do it!\u201d growled Putotyra Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShould and did are two different concepts,\u201d replied Aaron\u2019s voice. He was still unscathed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cARE YOU SERIOUS!\u201d cried Latoratah Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll right, then!\u201d muttered Tatoba Jazz. \u201cScanners out, everyone!\u201d All the combos swiped the scanners across the belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSCANNING CHARGE!\u201d announced all the belts. Tatoba, Tajador, Shauta, Gatakiriba, and Super Tatoba jumped into the air and made a dive kick motion. Sagozo floated into the air before dropping onto his feet and creating a quake. Burakawani slid on his back in a flying kick motion. Tamashi held an energy ball and fired it like Goku. Putotyra extended the horns on his shoulders to Aaron, froze him, and swung his tail. Latoratah charged at Aaron at high speeds and made a cutting motion with his claws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSEIYA!\u201d they all cried as the attacks hit their marks. The other combos disappeared, so the only combo left was the original Jazz in the Tatoba combo. He then de-transformed and returned to his usual robot mode. He then wiped an imaginary tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat explosion would have put a tear in many a Kamen Rider\u2019s eye,\u201d he mock-whimpered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhatever a Kamen Rider is,\u201d sighed Aaron\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?!\u201d shouted Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow, are there anymore tricks you want to try, or shall I deactivate you right now?\u201d asked Aaron. Jazz then tried something desperate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat necklace you have there, what is it?\u201d he quizzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSeriously?\u201d muttered Aaron. \u201cI asked for a trick and you want to try something as basic as that? Fine, I\u2019ll play along. It\u2019s my sorcerer\u2019s crest. It shows my rank in the magic world. Why do you ask?\u201d An idea formed for Jazz on the fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt looks a lot like a Cyber Key,\u201d he mused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA what?\u201d asked Aaron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA Cyber Key,\u201d Jazz repeated. \u201cIt\u2019s an ancient piece of Cybertronian tech that unlocks a bot\u2019s hidden systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not technology!\u201d protested Aaron. \u201cIt\u2019s a precious metal that fell from the stars, eons ago!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo did the Cyber Keys,\u201d countered Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a means of one getting power!\u201d snapped Aaron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCyber! Key!\u201d insisted Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll right, you know what?!\u201d snapped Aaron as he took off his necklace. He then threw it at Jazz, who caught it. \u201cNow, tell me, is that ancient technology?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cActually,\u201d said Jazz with a grin as data flowed into his processor, \u201cthat just cinched it.\u201d He then flicked it into the air and thrust his palm into the air. \u201cCYBER KEY POWER!\u201d The Cyber Key then inserted itself into Jazz\u2019s back and turned. Machinery on his back swung to his shoulders to be shoulder mounted firearms. The barrels almost looked like speakers. \u201cOh,\u201d gasped Jazz as targeting systems flooded his visor, \u201cChristmas came early! Earth-shake Bass Cannons!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, please!\u201d mocked Aaron as it looked like he had flicked some dirt off. \u201cThat fight must have drained you! And besides, the gap between you and the coward wizard that made that belt real must be wide if you light up at new weapons!\u201d Now, Jazz is a mellow bot. There\u2019s very little that can tick him off. Mentioning the power gap between him and his best friend and calling said friend a coward are sure fire ways to make him lose his cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know what?\u201d he snarled. \u201cFrag the gap between me and my best friend. Frag the Energon draining fight! Frag your arrogance!! In fact, FRAG YOU FOR DARING TO CALL MY BEST FRIEND, OPTIMUS PRIME, A COWARDLY WIZARD! MAXIMUM SONICS!\u201d The Bass Cannons unleashed a torrent of sonic waves that were directed at Aaron. He held his head in pain. It stopped after a while. \u201cI AIN\u2019T DONE! MAXIMUM SONICS!\u201d Another torrent. Jazz kept on and on until Aaron was on the ground, steadying himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to get up now!\u201d he snarled. \u201cAnd if you do that again, I swear to God Almighty\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaximum Sonics,\u201d hissed Jazz. One last torrent knocked Aaron back a few feet. Jazz stood like a statue for a while. \u201cHuh,\u201d he thought, \u201cwith all those shots, I\u2019d figure my Energon reserves would\u2026oh, wait, there they go.\u201d Metal met pavement with a resounding thud. Multiple warnings of Energon overexposure rang though his head. Jazz then tried to transform, to no avail. \u201cT-Cog, come on! No! Be a pal!\u201d Not a snowball\u2019s chance in even the deepest part of Dante\u2019s Hell. Jazz started shorting out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow,\u201d remarked Aaron as he got up, \u201cas far as last words go, \u2018Maximum Sonics\u2019 aren\u2019t the greatest. But, to be fair, that\u2019s far from the worst decision you\u2019ve ever made today!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou haven\u2019t seen my \u2018go frag yourself\u2019 attack yet!\u201d Jazz managed to get out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow, see,\u201d chuckled Aaron, \u201cthat\u2019s the spirit.\u201d He shrunk back down and turned his skin back to normal skin. He then raised his hand to the air and made a fist of fire. \u201cIgnis Pugno Mor\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCHAOS SPEAR!\u201d came Shadow\u2019s voice. A yellow energy arrow struck Aaron in the back and the fist disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll right, who has the gall?!\u201d snarled Aaron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s an opponent you\u2019re looking for,\u201d rasped Shadow as he strode forward, \u201cI can fill the part. Ratchet, get him out of here.\u201d Ratchet used his magnets to lift Jazz over to his position. The other Autobots were conscious and in vehicle mode. Aaron growled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFine!\u201d he growled. \u201cI\u2019ll just deal with this freak!\u201d He charged at Shadow, beginning the battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
