KKD: Okay, this project proved to be more difficult than I thought for a solo project. So, like my aibou with his Hope of the Sekais story, I got someone helping me out.
Pikatwig: It's "Hope for the Sekais" first of all. Second of all, yea I'm helping out here.
KKD: Thanks for the help, by the way, aibou. If it weren't for you, I honestly doubt I'd be able to even get so much as a jump-start to this project.
Pikatwig: Yea, I suppose.
KKD: So, in that case, would you like to set up the Disclaimers for this tale?
Pikatwig: I'll try… uh… Super Sentai is owned by Toei, Bandai and… such.
KKD: Any original content belong to me and Pika. And with that, let's begin.
Focusing on one household, in one particular room, we find a young male around the age of 18, having blue hair, green eyes, currently wearing a red t-shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of white and black sneakers. He was up very late, working on some concepts regarding a topic he considers a favorite: Super Sentai. However, he was up so late, he didn't even notice his Mobirate toy glowing, and ringing, and when he picked it up, he was gone.
Suddenly, the same teen shot up in bed, panting like he had just been through a nightmare.
"Whoa… that was weird," he panted, as he stumbled around, and saw his room looked a bit different, just a bit, "Wait… where's all my Sentai stuff? ...Eh, must've stored it away last night when I was working on my notes."
He looked around, and saw they weren't there, and then he tripped out of his door, and down a staircase. "I… don't remember that being there…"
"There you are," he heard an older female voice speak as he looked up to see a woman with blue/orange hair, a white top, and blue jeans.
"Oh, hi Mom. Sorry, I stayed up late working on stuff again," Takeshi apologized.
"Well I hope it was studying. You're going to run late to meet up with Professor Akaren" the elder lady replied, confusing Takeshi and surprising him at the same time.
"Akaren…?"
"Don't tell me you forgot about him. He's the town Professor, and the one who helps new Defenders get started on their journey. Now get cleaned up, you're due to meet him in his lab in ten minutes," the woman, Takeshi's mom, responded.
'Defenders… Akaren… why does this all sound familiar?' Takeshi wondered as he returned to his room to clean up.
After cleaning up, Takeshi was now dressed up in a mostly red, blue and pink attire. When he got downstairs, he heard a knock on the door.
"Oh, I think that's our neighbor, Takeshi. He's here to pick you up. Go answer the door, won't you?" his mom smiled as Takeshi walked over to the door.
"Hello?" he asked as he opened the door to find a boy around his age or a year younger with red hair, green eyes, and currently wearing a light blue shirt with green shorts, red shoes, and accessories that are yellow and pink.
"About time you showed up, Takeshi-baka," the boy growled in annoyance.
"Uh… hi," Takeshi waved, nervously.
"You hit your head or something? You're acting like you haven't seen me or you've seen a ghost," the boy noted.
"No… of course I remember you… S… Shi… Shi-Shi-Shi… Shigeru!"
"Geez, you must've hit your head if you don't remember me. Now c'mon. We gotta go to Prof. Akaren's lab," the boy, Shigeru groaned.
"...okay," Takeshi nodded as they left, leaving Takeshi's house and walking towards the largest building in the town, 'Why is all of this getting so familiar?'
Takeshi shrugged the feeling off, and followed Shigeru around and into the building, which looked like a lab with images of Super Sentai. The images even looked like posters he'd normally have hanging in his own room. "Wow… this man's a bigger Sentai geek then me," he muttered.
In the back stood a man in a white labcoat (the back of which had the generic Super Sentai logo) with a red t-shirt underneath, blue jeans, and black shoes, his aged face covered by a head of graying brown hair framing a pair of red eyes.
"Yo! Prof! We're here for our Ranger Keys," Shigeru responded.
'Ranger Keys? ...Okay, things are starting to get too coincidental. What's going on here?' Takeshi thought to himself.
"Alrighty… here are your Sentaispheres," Akaren informed, showing a tray of red, blue, yellow, pink, black and green spheres with a keyslot in the center.
'NO WAY! Sentaispheres?! Those look exactly like what I was working on last night!' Takeshi mentally gawked.
"And to go along with these three, are the starter Ranger Keys," Akaren added, showing three particular Ranger Keys, those of KyoryuRed, MagiBlue, and GoseiBlack.
The Ranger Keys were human-shaped while hiding the teeth of the key behind the legs. KyoryuRed's key was of course Red, showing off the suit design of the Kyoryuger with a silver dino-head across the chest and left shoulder, yellow teeth, a red eye on the shoulder, white gloves, red boots, and a red helmet resembling a t-rex head with yellow teeth, green eyes, a black mouth for the visor, and a silver mouthpiece. MagiBlue's key was a feminine design with a cyan color, blue gloves and boots, white legs leading to a cyan skirt, accented with black lines with gold trim, the collar resembling an M, and the visor looking like a mermaid's fin. Finally, GoseiBlack was a figure who had white coming from the tops of his black boots to the bottom of the torso which was black with a golden plant design on the chest and golden edges, small white gloves, and a black visor with snake designs on the sides, and a silver mouthpiece.
"So, Takeshi. What will be your choice?" the Professor asked.
"No contest. KyoryuRed!" Takeshi smirked, taking KyoryuRed's Ranger Key, and taking his Sentaispheres.
"Sounds good to me. So, Shigeru. Will you take GoseiBlack seeing as he's a male?" the Professor checked with Shigeru.
"Not happening, fire is weak to water, so I'm taking MagiBlue!" Shigeru smirked, taking the blue Ranger Key and his own Sentaispheres.
"Uh… are you sure?" Takeshi asked.
"Don't act so nervous, man. You know I would've chosen the superior option anyway," Shigeru cockily smirked as he walked over to the largest section of the lab, "Why don't we have a little round to see who's the better Ranger?"
"Oh… okay," Takeshi shrugged, joining him.
"Lucky for you I reinforced the lab and materials so nothing will catch on fire through your explosions," Akaren chuckled, "Just remember how to use the keys to transform, and once you do, the knowledge of the Ranger's moves and arsenal will be in your mind, so you can attack as if you were the original Senshi if you wanted to. You may begin when ready."
With that, both teens held up their Ranger keys and Sentaispheres, flipping the legs of the keys to reveal the keys' teeth.
"Here goes. Kyoryu Change!" Takeshi shouted, inserting his key first before twisting it, causing the Sentaisphere to change from it's multi-color form to a near solid red with the Kyoryuger symbol on the top.
=KYO~RYUGER!=
With that, Takeshi transformed into a carbon copy of KyoryuRed, just like the suit on the show he remembered. Once the change was complete, he gawked at his form.
"WHOA! Ha ha! Ore kakoi!" Takeshi-KyoryuRed smirked.
"Red is such an old color. My turn… Mahou Henshin! Maagi Magi Magiiro!" he shouted, doing the same thing Takeshi did, his Sentaisphere turning cyan with the MagiRanger M on top.
=MA~GIRANGER!=
He transformed into the suit of MagiBlue, however, it was an exact carbon copy of the original form. Right down to the gender, making KyoryuRed chuckle at the sight before falling in flat out laughter.
"What?" Shigeru asked before realizing his voice sounded like a girl's before looking at his body and he was shocked to find he was completely a girl, "Are you kidding me?! You should've said something ya jerk!"
"You ignored me…" KyoryuRed replied, recovering from his laughter fest, getting to his feet, "You should've known that when you use the key of a senshi of the opposite gender, you go through a gender change to make it work properly."
"Shaddup! Blue Splash!" he/she shouted, sending out a wave of water at the hero.
"WHOA!" KyoryuRed responded, dodging the attack rather quickly, "I'd better think fast."
With that, he pulled out the yellow and black dino-gun he knew to be the Gaburevolver before firing it rapidly at MagiBlue.
"Armed On!" he announced, having already inserted the Zyudenshi required.
=MECCHA MUCHO!=
He was then armed on his right arm with silver spikes and a fang weapon shaped like a T-rex head.
"Like that'll stop me," MagiBlue scoffed sending another wave of water at the Kyoryuger, however, the weapon that KyoryuRed summoned let out a burst of flames, and then he punched MagiBlue, reverting him back to Shigeru.
"...Well, at least I'm back to being a guy… but still! I'll be back!" Shigeru complained as Takeshi removed his Ranger Key from his Sentaisphere, reverting to normal.
Pikatwig: And that's a good spot to end the first chapter off on.
KKD: I suppose so. Thanks again for dropping in to help me out with this, Pika.
Pikatwig: No problem… I guess. For a favorite… Shigeru's botching up.
KKD: Yea, that's my favorite too. And for those of you wondering, no, it's not exclusive to Shigeru. It's only fair if something like that happens to everyone. And that also means if a girl uses a Ranger Key of a dude, she'll temporarily become a guy for the duration of the battle she uses the key in.
Pikatwig: Just Live More…
KKD: Jaa ne… so… what now?
Pikatwig: I don't know… wanna try Melee? I promise I got XD out of the system.
KKD: Alright then. Let's give it a try. *The two go over to a Wii and sure enough, Melee is in the system this time*
