Artistic Manifestation
Juru has been experiencing some artist's block lately, and when he drew something, it manifested in the real world.
Ao3 I FFN
A/N: It’s another fic inspired by the prompt that @asknarashikari @narashikari got.
--------
These past few days, Juru can't help but feel displeased with whatever he drew on his sketchbook. Everything was still in its place, he colored within the lines, straight lines look like straight lines, curve lines look like curve lines.
For all intents and purposes, nothing was wrong with his art.
Somehow, he still couldn't help but feel unsatisfied with his work.
Even drawing the Mashins, ones that he had already drawn before, still left him discontented.
Long story, short, Juru Atsuta was experiencing an art block.
It was lunchtime at school, he took a break from drawing on his sketchbook and opted to read a manga that Tametomo had recommended him. Apparently, it was a story adaptation of one of the video games he played competitively.
Then he came upon a scene where a character jumped into a pond and that was when inspiration struck.
"Hiramei-king!"
Juru stood up and raised his dominant hand before retrieving his pen and sketchbook to draw what was in his mind.
Juru did a few furious strokes on his sketchbook before raising it up and announced, "Finished!"
Suddenly, the ground Juru was standing on turned into water as the ground around him turned into a pond, submerging over half of his body underwater. He had a few eyewitnesses who simply laughed at his misfortune.
Luckily, he wasn't completely submerged in water that his sketchbook would have been damaged, as he had raised his sketchbook above his head, while the water level was just by his neck.
"Atsuta!" One of Juru's schoolmates called out. "Who did you piss off for the Yodom army to turn the ground you were standing on to a pond?"
It did not come as a surprise to Juru that the general public knew of the current sentai team's enemy, considering they were attacking in broad daylight and kept announcing their affiliation at least that was what Garuza, Yodonna, and Carantula were doing."
"Don't you just laugh there?! Hurry and get him a towel!" Kakihara's familiar voice growled.
The novelty of someone from their school was a victim of a misfire from someone in the Yodom army came right off as students began filing back inside the school building as a teacher went into the water and assisted him to get out of the water.
Kakihara and another classmate converged with Juru and the teacher and gave them each a towel.
Juru was left in the boys' locker room to change out of his wet uniform. He winced as soon as he saw his bare torso. There was no way he could explain the faint scars and bruises on him without people taking it the wrong way.
Hopefully, no one saw his exposed torso, by way of his wet white button-up shirt as he walked from the pond back inside the school building.
----------
Juru was back in CARAT, facing his somewhat irate teammates. Tametomo and Sena were irritated while Sayo and Shiguru were simply waiting for his explanation.
"We had to rush out from our practices because Hakataminami-san told us there was a suspected Yodom activity that was somehow undetected by our sensors, and that you haven't reported it." Sena glared.
"We had to rush to your school outside of our CARAT uniforms." Tametomo supplied. "And we were just about to start practicing too."
"We were simply worried that you were unable to deal with the situation yourself due to a lot of negative circumstances." Shiguru added.
"If it had not been for Kakihara, we would not have known about what happened."
"That's what I'm trying to figure out myself," Juru admitted. "I was just drawing, alone under the shade of a tree, when suddenly; I'm neck-deep into a pond."
"Juru-san, by any chance, did you draw a pond?" Mabushina asked.
"I was," Juru nodded.
"Father would sometimes be in a creative slump and when inspiration strikes, his kiramental would increase exponentially and his drawing would come to life as soon as it was complete," Mabushina explained. "We have already established your connection and similarities with father; I believe that was what happened."
"So that's why you've been pouty lately!" Tametomo exclaimed. "You were in a slump."
"I take it that this can only be classified as an accident?" Sayo questioned.
"That or Juru-san may have some of my diamond tears with him when he manifested the pond." Mabushina added.
"Oi Juru, did you take some of Mabushina's tears?" Tametomo asked.
"N-no! I did not take them."
"Our supply of the Princess's tears are still there, its weight hasn't changed since I deposited them somewhere safe." Muryou entered the room.
"Then, how?" Sena asked.
"There's only one way he could have unknowingly obtained Mabushina's tears, it's when he leaves CARAT in his school uniform and some had fallen into his jacket's pockets or bag," Sayo offered. "Or his connection with the king is just that strong."
"I didn't have Mabushina's tears," Juru denied the claim. "I always clean my bag and jacket when I get home, I would have known if I had somehow acquired some of them and promptly returned then."
"That is indeed a possibility…"
"I guess Juru-san is just that special." Mabushina declared.
"Next time, Juru, tell any one of us if you're experiencing some sort of Artist's block," Sayo suggested. "That way we can ascertain whether you're in danger or not."

*Sees the female rangers*...Who likes short shorts?
Sayo and Sena: “We like short shorts!”
The Yodonheim Army: “Outsmarted by children in short pants? NOOOOOOO!”
Joking aside, Our Rangers are:
Juru (RED)- a young aspiring artist
Shigure (BLUE)- A samurai stunt actor
Tametomo (YELLOW)- a pro gamer
Sayo (PINK)- a genius surgeon who is skilled in Akido
Sena (GREEN)- an aspiring young track star with Olympic dreams.
These five are agents of CARAT (ha, puns), a organization created by Hakataminami Muryou to prepare to defend Earth from the Yodon Army’s invasion, which he was warned of in advance by King Oradin of the planet Crystalia and the king’s daughter Princess Mabushiina. Mabushiina stays on Earth with the Mashins to support them.
