Chapter 1 - Mysterious Dark Figures

Finally, the Kyurangers have retrieved the Kyutamas needed to bring back the Argo-sen. They revived the legendary warrior, Houou Soldier, Ohtori Tsurugi! Together, they managed to destroy the fleet of Moraimarz that threatened to steal the Earth's Planetium. Now, Tsurugi has joined the team, and they are currently at 12 times the manpower. However, something will happen that may cause the team to make or break…


On the outskirts of the deepest parts of the universe, Don Armage was pondering after the recent defeats by the hands of the Kyurangers, and he decided to do something. Turning around from his area alone, he yelled, "Kukuruga! Get in here!"

Kukuruga came running in, and asked, "What is it that you need, Sir?" The Shogun replied, "I need you to get Dark Planetium from Professor Anton. It's time that I put an end to those pesky Kyurangers." Kukuruga replied, "Yes, Sir! But, if I may ask, what do you require it for?"

"The Kyurangers have interfered with our conquest of the universe long enough. Our forces have failed time and time again to eliminate them. Something must be changed." Don Armage said, clenching his fists.

Kukuruga nodded, and quickly ran out. Don Armage said, "Kyurangers… your ending is near."


Down on Earth, it was a great day; the weather was beautiful, there was no sign of any danger or Malistrates, and it was all very peaceful. The Kyurangers were all enjoying their day, and they were having a barbecue, prepared by Spada. Garu got a whiff of the food as he happily told the chef, "It smells amazing."

"Did you ever doubt? I never fail to disappoint with my dishes, especially for my friends." Spada replied with a grin.

"Commander, are you sure having a cookout is a good idea?" Stinger asked Shou unsure given their continuing fight against Jark Matter.

Turning to him, Shou replied, "Of course, you all have been giving a valiant effort and so you deserve this spare time to relieve yourself."

As ready as always, Champ told Stinger, "I wouldn't worry about it, partner. If Jark Matter does show up, we are always ready to give them a daily ass kicking."

Balance couldn't help but notice one of them was missing as he asked Stinger, "Speaking of which, where's Kotaro?"

"He wanted to go home and spend some time with his brother." Stinger replied.

"Missing family." Naga said, "I guess it is another part of having emotions. It must be nice to have someone close to you like that."

Balance couldn't help but notice Naga with a small smile as he complimented and said, "That's correct, Naga. Looks like you're getting more of the hang of your emotions."

Looking at him, Naga was slightly confused as he wondered, "Really?" Balance nodded and the others could agree.

Finishing up, Spada announced, "Alright everyone, lunch is officially served." The team all gathered around to get some of the barbecue.

As they began eating, Hammy had something on her mind. Raptor taking notice as she asked, "What is it, Hammy?"

Realizing she was spacing out, Hammy turned toward Raptor and said, "hmm, oh it's nothing. I was just wondering that if we're slowly getting closer and closer to defeating Jark Matter and once that happens, then what?"

Tsurugi looked over at them, and walked over. He said, "I've actually been wondering about that, too. I'm not sure what happens when we beat them."

"Heh, even the man who's been fighting them for years doesn't have any idea." Champ mocked.

"Looking to the future isn't a bad idea Champ." Shou said. "Even in the worst of times you need to be able to keep hopeful and have determination and something to give you drive and continue on."

"That's right, and even when we do beat them, we'll always be friends." Lucky said.

Hammy looked at the sky, and muttered to no one, "I want to be more than friends, Lucky…"

None of them were able to hear her make that comment to herself and continued to enjoy their days off. Tsurugi mentioning, "I miss the days the Earth was this peaceful."

"It's been a while since any planet was this peaceful." Stinger added.

They were all enjoying their day off too, but it all seemed a little too quiet and peaceful. Lucky thinking the same as he brought up to the others, "It's kinda weird how there have been no attacks here." Hammy swatted his arm and said, "Don't say that! You might-"

Suddenly, there was an explosion, followed by rubble falling to the ground. Hammy looked at him, and said, "I tried to tell you. You didn't listen." Lucky looked down bashfully, and replied, "Sorry."

"That's what you get for jinxing us." Garu said smacking Lucky at the back of the head.

Lucky winced, and said, "Oow!"

"No time to waste, let's go everyone." Shou Ronpo commanded.

"Okyu!" They all said. Them all running over to the scene of the explosion and the Jark Matter ships moving in.


The ones causing the destruction was a large squad of indavers and a Daikaan. The Daikaan yelled, "Make a mess out of it! Tear down the whole town!" The Indaver garbled agreement, and began to terrorize civilians, making them scream and run in fear.

Suddenly, a rainbow of bullets shot them down, destroying them. Lucky yelled, "That's enough, Jark Matter!" Turning to see them, the Daikaan yelled, "Kyurangers! I thought you would have never shown!"

"Sorry to rain in on your parade but you were disturbing us!" Tsurugi commented with a sarcastic grin on his face.

Stinger then said, "If you and you Jark Matter goons think you can just take this planet, you must be really dumb, then."

Naga nodded, and added, "Whether it is here or on another planet, we will be there to stop you and your fellow crew."

"Tsk. You simpletons will not get in our way." The daikaan then commanded the Indavers, "GET THEM!"

However, they were all prepared as Lucky kept his optimism as he said, "Let's go everybody!"

Activating their Kyutamas, their henshin devices sounded off their respective constellation names, "Shishi, Sasori, Ookami, Tenbin, Oushi, Hebitsukai, Chameleon, Washi, Kajiki, Ryuu, Houou Kyutama! Seiza Change! C'mon The Change!"

The team then all yelled together, "STAR CHANGE!"

Shou Ronpo yelling his individual call as he said, "Dragon Ascension!"

Activating their transformation, the stars activated above him, for Tsurugi above him, and then their suits manifesting onto their bodies, followed by their helmets.

They then performed their individual roll calls.

"Super Star! Shishi Red!"

"Poison Star! Sasori Orange!"

"Beast Star! Ookami Blue!"

"Trick Star! Tenbin Gold!"

"Ring Star! Oushi Black!"

"Silent Star! Hebitsukai Silver!"

"Shinobi Star! Chameleon Green!"

"Speed Star! Washi Pink!

"Food Mei-star! Kajiki Yellow!"

"Dragon Ma-Star! Ryuu Commander!"

"Space Bu-star! Houou Soldier!"

"Saviors of the universe! Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger!" Lucky began the final call and the others later joining him forming their poses. As they were ready to fight, Lucky yelled, "It's time to test your luck!"

They all charged into battle, easily knocking down each of the Indavers. Spada commenting, "Man, these Jark Matter goons never know when to quit and I was gonna make you all cake for desert."

I don't think now's the time to think about your cooking, Spada." Raptor replied as they continued to fight.

"It's the same as always so this shouldn't be much trouble." Tsurugi said using his sword and shield to take down a couple of the Indavers.

The others then formed their weapons of the sword, spear, claw, blaster, axe, scythe, rapier, gun and blade as they struck down the rest of the Indavers.

As only the Daikaan was left, the team charged toward him. However, it was not as easy as it seemed as using his hand, he sent a powerful blast towards the group, knocking them back onto the ground. He chuckled as he told the team, "Fools, do not believe that I will easily fail. I will claim this planet in the name of Don Armage and Jark Matter."

"Not if we can help it." Lucky said as he got back up, holding his sword, he then charged towards the Daikaan with Tsurugi, Naga and Hammy backing him up.

As they had their weapons in hand, they were each able to get a good couple of strikes in at the Daikaan. Their speed and teamwork being too fast for him to be able to counter. As Lucky and Tsurugi both landed a successful to strike on the Daikaan, knocking him down, Lucky then put his Kyutama on the back of his Sword. Galaxy! Lucky yelled, "Regulus Impact!"

He sent the attack towards the Daikaan, injuring him badly. As the Daikaan struggled to get back up, he saw that fighting was futile and he wouldn't have any choice but to retreat. "This isn't the last time we'll meet Kyurangers." He then teleported away from the scene.

"Is that it? What a coward." Garu said.

"Heh, he can't even fight us fairly." Champ agreed.

"What matters is that we managed to beat him for now at least." Shou told the both of them.

"But what exactly did he want, why just attack out of nowhere?" Hammy wondered.

"Doesn't matter as long as we can put a stop to it." Balance said.

While the team were talking as Naga turned his head, he could see that someone was coming towards them. Announcing their presence to the others, Naga asked them, "who are you?"

As the team saw them, they were all cloaked only to reveal that these mysterious beings looked exactly like them. They had the same look as their senshi suits of Shishi Red, Sasori Orange, Ookami Blue, Tenbin Gold, Hebitsukai Silver, Chameleon Green, Washi Pink, Kajiki Yellow, Ryu Commander, Koguma SkyBlue, and Houou Soldier, however, instead of having their colors, every member of this group's suit was covered in black, purple, and grey. Coping their motions and roll call, the Dark Shishi Red said, "Destroyers of the Universe, Dark Kyuranger. In the name of Jark Matter, we will eliminate you."

The Kyurangers were all in surprise and confusion as to who these people were who looked exactly like them. "What in the world?" Tsurugi asked.

Lucky said, "I don't know who you are, or why you're here, but we're gonna beat you!" They all pulled out their personal weapons, and charged towards the Dark Kyurangers.

As the two sides clashed, The Dark Kyurangers had their own set of weapons and seemed to know the team's moveset, able to dodge and counter each of their attacks. They were more than carbon copies as they were able to time and keep up with each of their counterparts moved, almost as if they knew what the Kyurangers were going to do before they did it.

As Lucky battled his counterpart, they clashed swords and they were fighting at the same pace. As the swords clashed against each other with both Shishi Red's holding the weight, Lucky said, "How is this even possible?!"

Looking straight at his face, the clone replied, "Don Armage created us, and we know all of your moves. Surrender now, or you will be eliminated."

"Not gonna happen!" Lucky said.

As Stinger battled his clone, their tails both zipped towards each other. They both intercepted them, and their spears clashed. As they did, Stinger looked at his clone and grunted, "What is going on? How are you people here?"

However, the dark Sasori Orange wasn't alone as the dark Koguma SkyBlue came in, and kicked Stinger back. Stinger, however, jumped back before the dark Koguma SkyBlue could kick him back. He zipped his tail towards him, slapping the dark Blue clone in the face, and made him stagger back. "Even you too, Kotaro." Stinger thought to himself. The two both then pulled out their spears and circled Stinger.

Stinger looked at both of them, and as they both sliced at him, he intercepted both of them with his Spear and tail.

Stinger looked at the two, and said, "I will not be killed by you two today. I have a family and important bonds to protect." Stinger began slashing at the clones, only for them to intercept each time.

Garu jumped down from a balcony, and used his claws to slice at his clone, but the clone merely dodged, and kicked him back. Garu rolled away, and pulled out his Claw. The clone pulled out his Claw, and the two began to clash. Garu yelled, "Damn it, grr!" The clone looked straight at him, and said, "Ookami Blue, it was very hilarious the way your tribe died. I was the one who killed them." Garu glared at him, growled and tried to punch, claw and kick at him, but the clone dodged his rage filled attacks, and used his Blaster to shoot him back.

Balance punched at his clone, but the clone intercepted with an open hand. Balance kicked the clone back, and the clone kicked him back. They both summoned their Crossbows, and began shooting at each other from a distance.

Champ punched his clone, but the clone punched him. They both staggered back, and they summoned their Axes. They began to clash with the weapons, and Champ used his bull-like strength to pick the clone up and throw him, however the clone landed on his feet.

Naga looked at his clone under his helmet, and used his paralysis to freeze the clone, only for the clone to break free, and slash Naga with his Sickle. Naga intercepted with his own Sickle, and the two clashed weapons.

Hammy immediately pulled out her Rapier as she charged at her clone as the clone pulled out her own Rapier, and the two clashed weapons. Hammy yelled, "How can you predict my attacks?!" The clone looked at her counterpart, and replied, "Don Armage-sama created us for this purpose, and that is to destroy you. I will not stop until you, your friends and your boyfriend are dead." Hammy looked at her under her helmet, blushing. She kicked the clone back, and blended in with her surroundings.

Raptor shot at her clone using both her Blaster and Shot, but the clone dodged all the attacks, and kicked her back. Raptor charged at her as Lucky yelled, "Guys, switch up your weapons!"

Everyone nodded, and Lucky threw his Sword to Naga, Naga his Sickle to Spada, Spada his Slasher to Tsurugi, Tsurugi his Sword and Shield to Hammy, Hammy her Rapier to Garu, Garu his Claw to Balance, Balance his Crossbow to Lucky, Champ his Axe to Stinger, Stinger his Spear to Champ, Shou his Staff to Raptor, and Raptor her Shot to Shou.

However, even with their weapons switched, they couldn't scratch the clones, as their respective clones punched and kicked them back.

As the team all regrouped, Garu commented, "Tsk, for cheap copies they're good."

"Yeah but even then, we can't keep fighting like this without a plan." Spada replied.

"He's right but there's not enough time." Raptor said.

Placing their own kyutamas onto their seiza changers, the dark doppelgangers charged up their final strike. "Dark Kyutama! Seiza Attack! Negative impact!"

TheDark Kyurangers each sent out a powerful strike towards the Kyurangers. Taking the full force of the attack the eleven members collapsed on the ground, demorphing and scarred. Lucky's clone scoffed at them, and remarked, "How pathetic. We will be back, and when we do, you will fall." Him and the clones walked away, leaving the eleven by themselves.

As they got back up, Hammy helped Lucky as he looked at his fellow Kyurangers, and asked, "What are we going to do?" Tsurugi replied, "Now? We make a plan to stop them." Naga nodded, and the eleven summoned their Voyagers, and flew back to the Orion Ship.

From his dark corner of the universe, Don Armage had seen his creations fight against the kyurangers, chuckling and laughing at their success at fighting against the Kyurangers. Then thinking to himself, "yes, run now while you can Kyurangers. The worst has far from yet to come."
