This takes place after Mako accepts Takeru's proposal at Sousuke and Miu's wedding
Sousuke and Miu's wedding party has just wrapped up. Sousuke and Miu said their goodbyes to the rest of the Go-ongers, Shinkengers, and Gekirangers as they got on board their respective engine partners and head to Machine World for their honey moon. Then the Go-ongers said their goodbyes to the Shinkengers and Gekirangers as they return to their normal lives with their engines at hand. Lastly, the Gekirangers said their goodbyes to the Shinkengers as they plan on heading out to Hong Kong due to Miki and Natsume's craving for Chinese food again. Kaoru and Tanba decided to take their leave too and bid goodbye to the rest of the Shinkengers. The Shinkengers were hoping everybody will be back later on so they can be at attendance of Takeru and Mako's wedding. The Shinkengers head back to Takeru's mansion as they are now exhausted from all the excitement, especially Takeru and Mako.
Takeru has fell asleep and Jii had the Kurokos carry him to his room.
"Ah Tono, I've never seen you so happy and excited before, I guess that worn you out" Jii said as he looked on at the sleeping lord.
Mako then knocked on the door.
"Come in please" Said Jii.
The Kurokos slid open the door and Mako walked in.
"Ah Mako, just wanted to check up our lord was doing before you go to sleep?" Jii asked.
Mako nodded.
"Very well, the Kurokos and I will exit the room, it is late so make sure you get your rest" Said Jii.
"I will, thank you" Mako replied as Jii and the Kurokos made their way out of Takeru's room.
Mako just sat beside Takeru as she watched him sleep.
She reminisced what has happened with her lately.
She remembers when she came back to Japan and first thing she saw walking down the exit ramp was Takeru holding the sign. After that she remembered sitting down with him by the windows and handing him the hand made scarf. Then she remembered the kiss on the cheek she gave him and being poisoned as she was being captured by Shiyoukai. She then remembered when Takeru caught her in his arms as Shiyoukai let go of her when he was attack by Go-Roader GT. She then remembered looking at Takeru's eyes when he told her she'll be alright and later seeing him as Emperor Shinken Red as well as seeing him power down to his normal state as he told her she is alright now. Next was her remembering her spending time with him on the wooden deck outside the mansion at night. Last but not least her most unforgettable memory, him proposing to her at Sousuke and Miu's wedding.
"You're amazing in every way I can see" She said.
She then brushed his bangs out of his face and smiled as she took out a key chain of a chibi Shinken Red holding the hand of a chibi Shinken Pink from her pocket.
She then took out his Shodo Phone from his coat pocket and attached the key chain to the end of the phone.
"Sweet dreams" She said as she quietly left his room.
Takeru actually was dreaming but it did not seem to be too sweet.
In his dream he was also sleeping, he woke up in his dream to find out he was sleeping under a tree the whole time. As he was yawning he then saw somebody waving his Emperor disk above his face.
He turned to see who it was and saw Mako smiling as she was waving it.
He chuckled.
"Ok Mako I need my disk back" He said.
Then Mako's smile vanished and she kicked him in the face.
He dodged the kick and grabbed her left shoulder and threw her down to the ground as she landed on her back in a bit of pain.
Takeru then looked down at her with a stern look on his face.
"You're not Mako" Said Takeru as he was looking at her with his piercing eyes.
The imposter then smirked and changed into a dark gas like energy.
"19th head of Shiba Clan, I can guarantee you there will be plenty more surprises in store for you" Said the gaseous figure.
Takeru quickly henshined into Shinken Red and unsheathed his Shinkenmaru.
As he swung his sword the gaseous figure quickly vanished.
"I will get you" Said Takeru as he powered down to his regular state.
Takeru then woke up for real this time with some sweat coming down his face.
"Was that all a dream?" He asked himself as he wiped some sweat away from his face with his hand and then took out his Emperor disk to see if it was alright.
The disk was fine.
He then opened his fist to see what he was holding and saw the key chain that Mako left in his hand.
He smiled but then noticed something peculiar.
He looked closer at it and noticed the mold that was holding the chibi Shinken Red and Pink's hands together were broken off leaving their hands separate.
Mako was in her room now asleep.
She too was dreaming.
In her dream she was walking down a park with Takeru holding hands.
The wind blew the scarf she made for him off his neck.
She managed to catch it just before it landed on the ground and as she was about to give it back to him she noticed something odd about the scarf.
Instead of the words "Don't forget about me" sewed on to the scarf, it said "Die" instead.
As she turned around Takeru was swinging his Shinkenmaru at her.
She quickly dodged it but he managed to get a cut of her left sleeve.
She quickly henshined into Shinken Pink to defend herself from his strikes.
Takeru had an evil laugh and a dark aura surrounded him as it caused him to henshin into an evil version of Emperor Shinken Red.
The evil Emperor Shinken Red powered up its Emperor Kyoryumaru and unleashed a dark "Stream of Destruction" on her.
She was frightened and screamed as the attack was about to hit her but then avoided the attack because she was awakened by the real Takeru who was shaking her shoulders to wake her up.
"Good you're awake now" Said Takeru.
She backed away from him.
"You had a nightmare too didn't you?" He asked.
She nodded as she looked at him.
"In that nightmare I was attacking you wasn't I?" He asked.
"How did you know?" She asked finally regaining her senses.
"Same thing happened to me except you were attacking me, except it wasn't you, it was this dark creature behind it" He replied.
She then noticed the cut on her left sleeve.
She started to become more frightened.
"Did you get my key chain?" She asked.
"Yes but there's something about it" He said as he showed her the separation in the hands of the keychain.
She was shocked because her copy of the key chain was like that too.
"It's ok, we just got to be careful, we'll stay awake together for the rest of the night, ok?" He said.
She nodded as he put an arm around her and she laid her head on his shoulder.
Without them realizing, another bit of the mold started to chip off from the chibis' hands from the keychains.
