I do not own Super Sentai. This is a fic that uses OC's from various sources, so some help would be appreciated.

Something I forgot last chapter. When submitting OC's, it would be nice to get an age in for the character.

Chapter 2: Great Flames arise, a New Sunrise awaits us

The six rangers separated into three groups to fend off the monsters. Daiki and Reiko took on the Org, Jin and Mariko faced off against the Tiger Youkai, and Ryan and Takuya fended off any standing grunts.

Takuya walked past the grunts and simply swung his sword skillfully, cutting them down. Ryan on the other hand was a little more flamboyant. Ryan slashed a grunt and jumped off a wall to slash another grunt. Ryan held his sword behind him which parried a sword blow from a Nanashi. Ryan drew his sidearm gun and jammed the gun to a Rinshi's stomach. Ryan didn't pull the trigger though, instead he flipped the handle back which then extended out red blade from the gun. Ryan tried to swing his sword to cut the Rinshi that he jammed his weapon into, but the Rinshi's strength overpowered Ryan. "Oh great." Ryan wasn't able to cut the Rinshi, the Rinshi instead was able to take hold of the sword and hold Ryan down. Ryan now had a Nanashi he was parrying behind and a sword caught in the hands of a Rinshi. More Nanashi and Rinshi ganged up on Ryan. "YEEP!" Ryan got downed and the Rinshis and Nanashis started kicking and cutting at Kodenfire.

"HYAKKA RYORAN!" Takuya announced. Takuya swung his Rekka Daizanto and a flame wave blazed through the grunts around Ryan. Takuya ran up to Ryan and helped Ryan up. "You ok?"

"Yeah." Ryan nodded. "I'm not really good with large groups though."

"That's why we're a team aren't we?" Takuya asked. "Without each other, there's no way we'll make it." Takuya said after he swung his Rekka Daizanto behind him and sliced a Nanashi in half.

"Don't need to tell me twice." Ryan said smirking under his helmet. He thrust his Katana under his arms and stabbed a Rinshi behind him. Ryan turned around and slashed the Rinshi with his other sword.

Takuya turned around and pushed his back against Ryan. "You ready for this?" Takuya asked as his Rekka Daizanto changed back into the Shinkenmaru. Takuya inserted a red disk onto the Shinkenmaru.

"Just follow my lead." Ryan said putting his gun back into its holster. Ryan held his Katana at the ready. Takuya and Ryan jumped in the air as the grunts ran towards them.

"Kaen no Mai!" Takuya announced.

"Super Kodenjyu Ougi!" Ryan announced. "Dragon Crescent Slash!" A projection of a Dragon Mecha appeared around Takuya and Ryan.

Takuya and Ryan swung their swords rapidly. Takuya swung out fiery sword waves while Ryan swung out crescent shaped flames (the difference between the two are that Takuya's actually resembled sliced air while Ryan's just look like actual flames in a crescent shape). The flames blazed through the grunts, cutting them down. The Dragon Mecha image around Takuya and Ryan flew down and collided with the grunts. Each grunt exploded as they were hit.

Takuya and Ryan landed. Both Takuya and Ryan sheathed their weapons. "That ends this." Takuya said dramatically while Ryan pointed towards the sky dramatically.

Daiki swung his Dairenrod at the Org. The Org moved around to dodge Daiki's rod swings. Daiki thrust the rod at the Org. The Org grabbed Daiki's rod and held Daiki in place. The Org then swung its trident in order to cut Daiki. Reiko's Gekitonfa Long Baton came in the nick of time to parry the Org's trident. Reiko pushed the trident away and Reiko thrust her rod forward hitting the Org. Daiki swung his Dairenrod around the legs of the Org, then bashed the nuts of the Org. The Org yelped in pain and locked its legs around the rod. Daiki swung upwards and threw the Org towards a building.

"Geki Jyu Cheetah Ken!" Reiko announced. "Shun Shun Dan!" Reiko fired out a projection of a yellow cheetah mecha from one of her hands. The cheetah mecha clawed at the Org as it tried to get up.

"Kiryoku!" Daiki announced. "Elemental Illusion!" Daiki held out his hands and shot out a foggy mist from his hands.

Flames arose and blazed at the Org. "Wait a minute, this is an illusion isn't it!" The Org shouted as if in realization to Shishiranger's powers. "There should be nothing to be afraid of." The Org stood still, only to actually get burned, then get blown back by a wind. Rocks came flying out of nowhere and pelted the Org. Finally, Daiki held out his hands once more and fired out an image of a flood of water towards the Org, pushing it away.

Mariko spun the black disk around her Shinkenmaru, transforming the sword into a pink fan weapon. "Heaven Fan!" Mariko spun the fan around bashing at the Tiger Youkai and blocking its claws any chance she got. Mariko moved away, giving way for Jin to cut the Tiger Youkai with the Ikazuchimaru. Jin kept rapidly slashing the Youkai, then both he and Mariko kicked the Youkai away. Jin swung his Ikazuchimaru around till the blades were charged with lightning. Mariko and Jin swung their weapons and a swirling lightning tornado fired out from their weapons towards the Youkai, blowing the Youkai to the Org.

The Tiger Youkai and the Org crashed onto each other, right in front of Ryan and Takuya. Takuya opened his belt buckle. "Hidan Disk." Takuya said, taking out a disk with a lightning design on it. Takuya inserted the disk into his Shinkenmaru and spun the disk. "Raiden No Mai!"

Ryan held his Katana at the ready in front of him. "Ha." Ryan breathed in softly. "YAH!" Ryan pointed his sword to the sky and the sword bursted into flames. Ryan held his sword now with a giant fire blade extending out. Takuya's sword had a giant lightning blade rising up.

Takuya and Ryan swung their swords. "REH!" Their swords' attacks combined into a lightning and fire wave towards the two monsters.

The monsters couldn't run in time as by the time they had recovered from their crash, the attack came in towards them and blew them up.

Takuya swung his Shinkenmaru around and sheathed the sword. "With this, ends this chapter." Takuya said.

"That was a little too easy." Ryan muttered.

"Well it's not like we had an easy time with them before you came along." Mariko said running up along with Jin, Daiki, and Reiko.

"No, I think Ryan's right." Takuya said. "Something doesn't sit right with me."

"But you already said this ended the chapter." Jin said.

"It's a tradition of my family." Takuya said. "And a habit of mine."

Reiko was also doubting that the battle was over. She looked up towards the cloudy sky which was covered by a clear barrier. "Hey, does anyone else feel like the barrier is moving?"

"What are you talking about?" Jin asked looking up at the barrier. The barrier appeared to be shaking back and forth. "Huh, why would the barrier do that?"

"Does any one hear a rumbling sound?" Ryan asked.

Takuya perked his ears up. "I hear it . . ." Takuya sharply turned his head to look upwards. "Every one . . . LOOK OUT!" A huge crack in the barrier appeared, then slowly spread towards the entire barrier. The barrier shattered into million glass like pieces. The rangers ducked when the pieces fell on them, but the pieces all disintegrated before they hit the ground.

"What the!" Daiki exclaimed as he got up. "What the hell happened!"

"Onii-sama, I think I saw a monster outside smashing at the barrier just right before it shattered." Mariko said.

"I saw one too." Takuya said getting up. Takuya drew his Shinkenmaru. "Every one, get ready. This isn't over yet."

"Oh how right you are." Said a mysterious robotic voice, which was followed by a huge red laser blast that shot Ryan into a building.

"RYAN!" Mariko and Daiki shouted. They turned sharply along with Team Lightning to see where the laser blast had come from.

A silver mechanical monster was hovering in the air. It had a sharp design on its head and a red visor in place of its eyes. It had cannon lasers on its shoulders and sharp claws for hands. One arm had a large blade extending outwards. Its legs appeared to be silver claws that clanked against the ground with each step.

The monster made whirring sounds as it moved forward. It whirred its head and looked at the five standing rangers. Its' visor had a red light moving left and right, as if to scan the rangers. "Target acquired." The monster robotically said. It held out a clawed hand. A red beam appeared to be charging into the claw and the cannons. "Fire." It fired a laser from the claw and a red laser beam from the cannons.

"MOVE!" Takuya ordered and all five rangers rolled away.

Reiko and Jin rolled near each other. "What kind of monster is that!" Reiko yelped.

"I don't know!" Jin shouted. "I can't seem to find any distinguishing characteristics from this thing!"

"Whatever it is, take it down!" Takuya shouted while running towards the monster. Takuya swung his sword at the monster. The monster dodged robotically yet gracefully. Takuya swung his sword a few times only for the monster to grab the sword with a claw. "What?"

"Takuya Shiba." The monster robotically said. "Twenty Second head of the Shiba Clan."

Takuya gasped. "How do you know all that?"

"A man who was thrusted into the role of ShinkenRed after his father died in a war against various monsters." The monster said expressionlessly. "Takuya Shiba believes himself to be unfit to be lord and would rather not have others call him lord till he can prove himself." Takuya started shaking up from the monster's words. "He has made little progress in this and is unfortunately still too weak to take on the role of ShinkenRed."

"Shut up." Takuya growled violently. "Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Takuya pulled his Shinkenmaru back the swung the sword forward. The Shinkenmaru clashed against the silver armor of the monster to no avail. The monster grabbed the sword in mid-swing and back handed Takuya away.

"YOU BASTARD!" Mariko sharply yelled and ran towards the monster. She slashed at the monster with her Shinkenmaru, but just like Takuya, she got no reaction from the monster.

"Mariko Shiba." The monster said as it scanned Mariko. "A young girl, sister to the Lord of the Shiba Clan. Always compared to her brother, she hates how every one compares her to the Lord."

"Wha?" Takuya said as he tried to get up.

"She hated it enough that she didn't even want to be associated with her brother and decided she wanted to make it on her own."

"That . . . that's not true!" Mariko shouted. "Onii-sama, none of that is true!"

"She hides everything behind a smile, her hatred, her agony. She can't even bring herself to show feelings even though she feels for the death of her former teammate."

Mariko stopped her attack and stood there in shock. "It's not true." She wept. "It's not true, it's not true . . ."

"She herself wants to cry now for the death of her new found teammate, yet she cannot."

"STOP IT!" Daiki shouted and came running in and jamming his Star Sword into the monster's chest. Daiki ran the monster into a wall. "Stop hurting Mariko!"

"Daiki." The monster said. "He has hidden feelings for a young girl, but cannot bring himself to admit these feelings."

"Like hell you can affect me with something like that." Daiki said pulling his Star Sword out in order to cut the monster again.

"In fact, he cannot bring himself to admit anything." The monster continued. Daiki stopped mid-swing. "The death of his former teammate, he denied ever being friends with that man and decided to hide everything in a cold face. His whole life had been filled with much agony that he had no choice but to use that face for everything. He feels guilt for the recent death of Kodenfire, and will never show it for his cold face is eternal."

Daiki paused and looked at the monster silently. The monster then whacked Daiki away.

Jin ran over and slashed the monster with his Ikazuchimaru. "Guys, don't let this thing play mind games with you! He's just taking advantage of your fears and manifesting them into words!"

"Oh right you are Jin." The monster said scanning Jin. "But, did you know that despite being a smart guy, you are ashamed of being so intelligent, yet you are constantly teased by your 'friends'?"

"Huh what?" Jin asked.

"You graduated in your class at the top, you became a ranger with high marks, yet you are constantly being teased by the people around you. The only thing you can do to now show for yourself is to act funny and hope that makes you friends." The monster grabbed Jin while Jin did nothing and threw Jin away.

Reiko came over and jammed her Gekitonfa Long Baton into the monster. "I'm not going to fall for you tricks!" Reiko shouted.

"Oh yes you will Reiko." The monster said. "A shy young woman who has trouble speaking clearly. She has feelings for a certain young lord yet can't bring herself to say she does because of her gentle nature and her emotions for everything little thing. Her gentle nature makes her think she is weak, in anything, especially fighting."

Reiko shirked back and looked away, only for the monster to jab Reiko in the gut. The monster grabbed Reiko between its claws and threw against a wall. Reiko let out a yell when she smashed against the wall.

"REIKO!" Takuya shouted and got up as quickly as he could. He tried to spin the black disk on his Shinkenmaru, but a cannon on the monster turned around and fired a beam that shot Takuya backwards. Takuya went flying into a building and dropped the black disk.

"ONII-SAMA!" Mariko shouted, only to get shot as well by the Monster.

The monster kneed Reiko and then made its way to the floored Takuya. "Oh my, how the strong have fallen." The monster clanked against the floor. "I'll make sure you never get up again."

Then the same Dragon Mecha image that flew around Takuya and Ryan earlier appeared and let out a roar around the monster.

"WHAT!" The monster shouted as the Dragon flew around the monster, ramming the monster against it's serpentine body.

"HA!" Ryan's voice resounded, perking Mariko and Daiki's ears up. Every one turned to see that Ryan was still standing and he was crouching as if ready to jump. The Dragon whacked the monster with a tail and flew to Ryan.

Ryan breathed in, pointed to the sky with one hand, "Ojii-chan said this!" then jumped in the air, followed by the Dragon. "Super Kodenjyu Ougi!" Ryan shouted. Ryan made a few flips behind the Dragon's swirling serpentine body. "HYPER BLAZING BREAK!" Ryan pushed his leg forward and the Dragon propelled Ryan with a fire breath.

Ryan came flying down with a flying side kick while his body was ablaze. Ryan attempted to kick the monster, but the monster reacted and blocked Ryan's leg. The monster then threw Ryan away, colliding Ryan into a wall.

"GAH!" Ryan shouted as he landed on the floor, and unbeknownst to the monster, on top of Takuya's black disk.

"RYAN!" Mariko and Daiki shouted.

"You still live?" The monster said robotically although it seemed to try to muster an angry tone.

"Of course, why wouldn't I?" Ryan said flipping onto his back and getting up. "I'm a Ranger, of course I'm going to stand after a shot like that!"

"No matter." The monster said. "You will fall . . ."

"OF COURSE I WILL!" Ryan shouted. "One day we all will! But not until the likes of you FALL!" Ryan pointed to the monster epically. "I don't know how right you are about everything you've said, but I'm just going to make this claim right now: BULL SHIT!" Ryan stomped on the ground really hard. Ryan pointed to the sky. "Ojii-chan said this: You are strong in your own way, it doesn't matter how but it is up to you to become strong with any flaws of yours behind you and not in front."

"What does that have to do with anything?" The monster asked.

"For one, it doesn't matter if any of that stuff is true for anybody here!" Ryan shouted. "I don't care what you have to say about me either!"

"Well how about I start . . ."

"DON'T BOTHER!" Ryan shouted. "I'll do it! I of course am a weak person, I believe myself to be a really weak ranger. I haven't been able to protect anybody at all, I've failed so many countless times. Many people that I've cared for have died because I couldn't protect them!" An image of a woman and a man, screaming as monsters approached them flashed in Ryan's mind. "But you know what, that's why I'm here right now, so I can become stronger!" Ryan pointed at Takuya. "You know what, if you're spouting nonsense then I will too!"

"Takuya Shiba!" Ryan began. "He may seem stoic, but he has a nice side to him. He cares for those around him and he is strong as well! He may hate being a lord but the fact that he has people that he cares for, that's enough for him to continue fighting as ShinkenRed no matter how much he doesn't want to." Takuya got off his back after hearing Ryan.

"Mariko Shiba, sister to Takuya Shiba. She's a sweet looking little girl but at the same time a really violent woman. Who knows what she is thinking but you can tell that not only does she hate the fact that she is constantly being compared to the lord, but she will happily brag about it and even believes that her lineage makes her strong, and it does!" Mariko got her strength back hearing Ryan's inspiring speech.

"Daiki may act like a jerk, but he's willing to care for others. So what if he hides everything within his cold face, as long as he kicks ass then he's fine! He doesn't have to mope around, and that's because he's strong. Just because you show no emotion does not make you human, if you can do it and still care, then you are stronger than any old strong piece of scrap metal!" Daiki, inspired by Ryan, got up.

"Jin is smart. He's done a lot of research from what I can tell. The one thing he wants to see in life is the sun which to this day has been blocked by a cloud of darkness. He's the smart one in Team Lightning and because of him, he has helped Takuya and Reiko in many of their victories. It doesn't matter if he's acting funny, in fact, HE IS FUNNY! Not only is he smart but he's goofy and friendly and that's enough for him to be strong." Jin got up holding his Ikazuchimaru at the ready.

"Reiko may hide feelings for a man. But don't all girls do that? She may be gentle, but yet she is still fighting. She is fighting because she believes that one day the fighting will end and one day she can see the smiling faces of others. She wants to make sure that happens so that's why . . . that's why . . . THAT'S WHY SHE FIGHTS!" Reiko used her Gekitonfa Long Baton to help her get up.

"Ojii-chan said this also: You are the strongest in the universe, don't forget that." Ryan pointed to the sky, and a large gust of wind blew outwards. "Don't ever let any one make you doubt yourself."

The monster didn't move, then violently swung its bladed hand at Takuya, who fell back on his back to block the blade. The monster kept clashing its blade against Takuya's Shinkenmaru.

"Oi Takuya!" Ryan shouted. "CATCH!" Ryan threw the black disk to Takuya.

The black disk flew into the Shinkenmaru. "All right!" Takuya spun the disk and the Shinkenmaru transformed into the Rekka Daizanto in flames. "ORYAH!" Takuya swung the giant sword, bashing the monster away. "You know what, Ryan's right!" Takuya said standing up. "Yeah, I may hate being a Lord, but I still have people that I care for, so I need to continue fighting!"

The monster flew to Mariko, who sliced the monster away. "I love Onii-sama, no matter how much I don't like being compared to him. But you know what, I am strong. Call it arrogance but I call it truth! I am going to beat you to a pulp!"

Daiki swung his Star Sword at the incoming monster. "I may hide a lot, but you know what, who cares! I fight because it is something I am good and and something I need to do!"

The monster flew right into Jin's Ikazuchimaru, which skewered the monster. "Yeah I'm smart, yeah I'm afraid that I'm not funny, but you know what, my friends tease me, because I'm funny! They need me to strategise for them and me being funny is only part of my personality!" Jin threw the monster towards Reiko.

Reiko batted the monster away. "I may hide feelings within my heart, but that's only one thing. I fight and I don't hold back, because I need to see a future where you monsters don't exist to ruin anything, ever again!"

The monster rolled around on the ground, then all the rangers ran over to the monster. Takuya and Mariko slashed the monster with their swords. Daiki sliced the monster with Reiko following up with a bash from the Gekitonfa Long Baton. Jin and Ryan ran over and cut up the monster. The monster stumbled around after all the attacks.

"You know what, time to finish this." Ryan said walking over to his Motorcycle, which was named the Hikoden. Ryan pulled the white covers, revealing a red bazooka weapon, known as the Ohre Bazooka. Ryan held the gun with both hands and tried carrying it over to the other rangers. Jin. Reiko, and Daiki grabbed onto the Bazooka.

"Why do you have this thing?" Daiki asked.

"I thought we might need it." Ryan said. "So I got permission from Ojii-chan to use it.

"Really?" Reiko asked.

"Not really, he and I had to to sneak into the arsenal room to actually get it."

"That's not really giving you permission." Jin remarked.

"He still gave it to me to use." Ryan said. He turned to Takuya and Mariko. "Want to help with this?"

"No need." Takuya said holding a white disk, which he then snapped onto his Rekka Daizanto. Takuya swung the sword around until the sword bent into a gun like shape. "Rekka Daizanto, Ozutsu Mode!" Mariko ran over and helped Takuya hold the Rekka Daizanto Ozutsu Mode. Takuya held out four disks while Mariko held out a pink disk. "Shishi Disk!" Takuya shouted putting a red disk first on the Rekka Daizanto.

"Kame Disk!" Mariko put a pink disk behind Takuya's red disk.

"Kabuto Disk, Kajiki Disk, Raigeki Disk!" Takuya inserted an orange disk, a light blue disk, and the lightning disk that he used in that order behind the pink disk.

"Ready!" Mariko shouted.

Ryan stared at the Rekka Daizanto. "You know, if I knew you had that, I probably would've been in the battle a lot earlier." Ryan mentioned.

"Oh well." Jin said. "No use crying over spilt milk."

"Right." Ryan said pulling the back of the Ohre Bazooka out, which inside had compartments with the shapes of a circle, two ovals, a triangle, a rectangle, and a star on top. "Ok then!" Ryan pushed the back in.

"Tora Gorindan!" Takuya and Mariko shouted.

"Ohre Bazooka, FIRE!" Ryan, Jin, Daiki, and Reiko shouted.

The Rekka Daizanto fired the five disks in succession, each then forming into one big image of a white tiger. The Ohre Bazooka fired out a large blast. Both attacks combined and swirled into the monster, blasting it.

The monster however still stood.

"WHAT!" Ryan shouted. "How can it still be standing!"

"I won't lose, I won't lose, I WON'T LOSE!" The monster shouted losing its robotic tone. A large piece of armor fell from his arm, revealing some sort of seal.

"OH!" Jin shouted. "It's a Londers Prisoner!"

The monster ripped the seal off then grew as large as a building. It's metal face then broke apart, revealing that the face was just a mask and under the mask was a grotesque boar face.

"OH CRAP!" Jin shouted. "The monster grew!"

The monster's shoulder cannons blasted around the city, shattering any buildings caught in the crossfire.

The rangers ran away from a stomp from the monster. "Oh man." Takuya said. "How are we suppose to beat that?"

"Anyone have a mecha they can use?" Daiki asked.

"Onii-sama and my Origamis are currently with someone else now." Mariko said.

"I don't have my Rai Rai Ball." Daiki said. "I'm still looking for it."

"My mech is being repaired." Jin replied.

"How about you?" Mariko asked Reiko.

"Eh me?" Reiko said waving her hands around in front of her. "I haven't learned how to summon my Gekibeast yet."

"So no one here has a mech to use." Takuya grunted. Ryan, waving a hand, ran behind Takuya and started jumping around. "And it seems we're the only rangers in this city right now."

"OOH ME!" Ryan mumbled. "Please pick me!"

"Huh?" Takuya turned around to see that Ryan was holding a book of sorts. After every one looked at Ryan, Ryan started poking at the book.

"Ojii-chan said this: this book will lead the way . . . when a giant attacks." Ryan said.

"What does that book say?" Daiki asked.

"How to summon a Kodenjyu." Ryan replied.

"A what?" Jin asked.

"My mech." Ryan replied with a sad tone. "Don't you guys know?"

"Ah sorry, it's kind of tough trying to remember history when you're constantly fighting for your life every day." Mariko said rubbing the back of her head.

"But do you know how to summon your Kodenjyu?" Reiko asked.

"No, I haven't really read the book in depth yet." Ryan replied, making every one lose hope again.

"Why didn't you do it?" Jin asked.

"Because well . . . I didn't like studying . . . so . . . I always pretended that I read the book when Ojii-chan asked me so . . ."

"Well you better read it now." Jin said holding out a medal that he took from his changer. Jin threw the medal and the medal, in blue lightning, transformed into a blue lightning themed motorcycle. "Bari Thunder!" Jin jumped onto the bike. "I'll stall for time, you just hurry up."

A green lion themed motorcycle revved by with Daiki jumping on it. "Hey, don't leave me out of the action." Daiki revved up.

"Just follow my lead!" Jin shouted. Both of them rode towards the rampaging monster.

"Ok then." Ryan said sheathing his Katana. Ryan opened the book and started reading. "Ok then." Ryan pointed to the sky. "Ojii-chan said this!"

"You say Ojii-chan says a lot." Mariko commented.

"I get that a lot." Ryan replied.

"You say I get that a lot a lot." Reiko remarked.

"I get that a lot too." Ryan said. Then under his helmet, he closed his eyes. "Begin . . ."

Jin and Daiki rushed to the giant monster. Jin held his hands in a hand sigh. "Ninpo!" He shouted. "Great Scarf!" Jin flipped his wrists and a large red cloth appeared in his hands. He threw part of the cloth to Daiki. "Try to catch the thing in this!"

"YOSH!" Daiki nodded. Both of them rode their separate ways, revealing that the cloth was gigantic in size.

The monster turned around to see the two rangers, only to get caught in the cloth. Daiki and Jin drove around the monster, wrapping the monster up in the cloth, then both of them drove back. They struggled to pull the monster, but with their powers, they pulled through and were able to trip the monster.

"Drag it around!" Daiki shouted. Both him and Jin accelerated, pulling the monster along. The two rangers avoided the buildings as best they could. The worst off the buildings got were a few scrapes from the flailing of the monster.

The rangers pulled the monster around, weakening it. Eventually the monster pierced its claws into the ground to stop the two rangers. The two rangers stopped suddenly and were thrown off their bikes.

Daiki and Jin crashed into a building, breaking through the wall. They got up to see the monster getting up ready to charge at them. "Man Ryan, you better be almost done!" Daiki shouted.

A red magic circle formed under Ryan. Strange symbols appeared on his visor. He started chanting. "Koden Shorai . . . Appear Legendary Dragon of Blade and Flames, rise up and Awaken from your eternal slumber . . ." Ryan pointed to the sky. "DAI RYU RAI JYU!" He shouted. "Dairyuoh, AWAKEN!"

The dragon mecha that appeared for Ryan's attacks solidified into reality. It's head contained the crest of a Samurai. It flew downwards towards Ryan while Takuya, Mariko, and Reiko looked at the mecha in awe. The dragon named Dairyuoh flew down and ate Ryan, but only to get Ryan into the cockpit.

Ryan appeared behind a large red control orb. Ryan placed a hand over the orb and the cockpit lit up. "Let's go!" Ryan shouted. "Dairyuoh, welcome back!" Dairyuoh roared and flew through the sky. Takuya, Mariko, and Reiko followed the dragon.

The monster charged at the building that Daiki and Jin were in, but was stopped by Dairyuoh crashing into the monster. Dairyuoh spun its body around and the Katana strapped to its back flew out of the sheath and sliced the monster. Dairyuoh flew to the giant Katana and resheathed the sword.

Jin and Daiki looked at the dragon mecha. "He did it!" Jin shouted.

Dairyuoh opened its mouth and blew flames at the monster, blowing it back. "Dairyuoh!" Ryan shouted and pushed the control orb. "Elemental Henkei! Dairyuoh!" Ryan shouted. Dairyuoh roared. The boosters on its back retracted downwards and formed legs for Dairyuoh. The legs and arms of Dairyuoh merged to form hands for Dairyuoh. Dairyuoh's dragon head retracted to the chest and a humanoid head appeared on top. The Samurai crest detached from the dragon head and connected to the humanoid head. Dairyuoh assumed a humanoid form.

Dairyuoh drew its sword and took the shield on its back in hand. "Elemental Samurai Dairyuoh!" Ryan announced. "Blazing UP!"

Takuya, Mariko, and Reiko caught up with Jin and Daiki. "Whoa." Takuya gasped. "That's . . ."

"A warrior mecha." Mariko continued.

"I don't think we've seen one in such a long time." Reiko said.

"It is a fact that such a mecha hardly exists nowadays due to teams using multiple systems all at once." Jin replied. "But to see a mecha like that . . ."

"It is truly a rarity." Daiki finished.

The monster roared and swung its bladed arm at Dairyuoh. Dairyuoh parried. "Like that will connect!" Ryan shouted. Ryan pushed his hand forward and Dairyuoh did the same thus pushing the blade of the monster back. Any time Ryan moved, Dairyuoh did the same. "ORYAH!" Ryan swung his arms, while Dairyuoh swung its sword, cutting up the monster. The monster shot out beams from its cannons. Dairyuoh blocked the beams with its shield. Afterwards, Dairyuoh threw the shield away. "TAKE THIS!" Dairyuoh dashed at the monster, blazing up its blade, then slashed the monster. Dairyuoh swung its sword rapidly, cutting up the armor of the monster, revealing that the monster was a fleshy unarmored boar monster. Dairyuoh kicked the monster back.

The monster stumbled and picked up one of its detached shoulder cannons. "DIE!" It shouted and fired a beam from the cannon.

"TOU!" Dairyuoh jumped in the air. Dairyuoh thrust out its arms and ten fiery wing images appeared on its back. "Takuya!" Ryan shouted. "Help me out here!"

"YOSH!" Takuya shouted then made one huge jump to the top of a building. He took out his Shodophone and wrote the Kanji for Fire. Takuya flipped the Kanji around and the character flew to Dairyuoh's foot.

"Elemental Mojikara Hi Ougi!" Ryan shouted.

"Rekka . . ." Takuya said.

"BLAZING BREAK!" Ryan screamed. Dairyuoh came flying down with its wings blazing higher. Dairyuoh flew downwards and its fiery leg smashed into the monster with a flying side kick. Dairyuoh pushed the monster back even more.

Takuya drew the Kanji for fire again, and once he flipped the word, the Kanji flew to the monster and blasted the monster with flames along with Dairyuoh's kick. Dairyuoh kicked off the monster and flipped in the air to land back. Dairyuoh turned its back and then sheathed its sword. "Dairyuoh, Legendary Win." Ryan said dramatically. The monster behind exploded once the Katana snapped into place.

"With this, ends another chapter." Takuya said sheathing his Shinkenmaru.

"HE DID IT!" Reiko and Mariko shouted and high fived each other.

"But its strange, the monster broke the barrier but did he do it for a reason?" Jin asked. "Granted, it's still going to take a while to fix."

Daiki heard some buzzing sounds. Daiki looked up, "Oh great!" Daiki shouted. Flying monsters all differently themed were flying at the now unprotected city. "He broke it to let those guys in!"

Dairyuoh and Takuya looked up. "Seriously, will you guys just end the chapter without making me waste a perfectly good phrase!" Takuya shouted and inserted the red disk on his Shinkenmaru. Takuya drew the sword and spun the disk. "Kaen No Mai!" Takuya threw fiery sword waves at the incoming monster.

Dairyuoh drew its sword and sliced a large row of monsters in half. Daiki drew his Daibuster and fired at any monsters that came into range. Jin changed his Ikazuchimaru into a cross formation and threw the flying weapon at the monsters. Reiko fired out her Cheetah Mecha projection, leaving the mecha to strike at the monsters. Mariko followed her brother and used her similar looking 'Tenku no Mai' attack.

Dairyuoh swung at the monsters but some dodged its attack. "Oh you are so dead!" Ryan shouted. "Dairyuoh! Fire Break!"

Dairyuoh's dragon chest looked up and opened its mouth. The chest fired out flame streams that burned away at the monsters. Dairyuoh grabbed a handful of monsters and squished them like bugs, which some were themed after bugs, however, no matter how much the rangers tried to defend the city with all their might, the monsters kept coming. "DAMN IT!" Takuya screamed trying to kill off as many monsters as he could. "Why won't you die!" Takuya was starting to lose hope, but then . . .

"Ikkan Kenjo!" Shouted a voice from afar. "Hyakumai Oroshi!" Multiple golden sonic booms came flying over and cutting up a good portion of the invading army in two.

Takuya looked towards another building and saw a golden ranger, the same type of ranger as he was. The golden ranger sheathed his fish themed sword and looked at Takuya. "Shinken . . . gold." Takuya said. The gold ranger then unsheathed its sword and continued throwing golden sonic booms at the monsters.

"SUPER BEAST ON!" Shouted a voice. Reiko looked up and a White and Red tiger themed ranger flew towards the monster with blazing wings. The ranger sliced the monsters up with a claw weapon that he had. The ranger landed. "Ho Ho Dan!" The ranger fired off a projection of a tiger mecha that was similar to Reiko's mecha projection, only a tiger instead of a cheetah.

"Is that . . . Super Gekired?" Reiko asked.

Ryan fired another fire stream from Dairyuoh, piercing the dark clouds and letting in some sunshine. "What the . . ." Ryan said, as he got a glimpse of sunshine. The sun blinded some of the monsters, allowing for Shinkengold and Super Gekired to finish off most of them before the clouds covered the sun again.

A few more remained, but they were then skewered by a blazing flying cycle, ridden by a red caped ranger, known by the title . . . Magired. "Checkmate." Magired said.

All the invaders were gone, with Dairyuoh standing in the middle of the city. Shinkengold clapped his hands. "YOSH!" Shinkengold shouted. "This ends this chapter!" Shinkengold then jumped down from the building and disappeared.

"Win!" Super Gekired shouted, then flew away, while the group of rangers that had defended the city had their suits dematerialize (Takuya jumped off the building before his suit dematerialized).

Dairyuoh disappeared and Ryan materialized on the ground in his civilian form looking up towards the sky.

"It's over, you did it!" Mariko shouted and ran behind Ryan, hugging him from behind.

"Please get off me before your brother kills me . . . please." Ryan shirked.

"Mou, you say that too much!" Mariko whined.

"I get that . . . not that much actually." Ryan replied.

Takuya walked towards the rest of the group, only to step on a piece of the monster's broken mask. Takuya took the mask and looked at it. "Hm." he examined it and realized that the mask was some sort of computer device.

Jin came over to look at the mask. "I see, so that monster was just playing mind games with us." Jin pointed at the visor. "This thing gives off some sort of hypnosis to those that see it, which may be why we were so affected by his words."

"I see, so that's what it was." Takuya said. "But . . ."

"Yeah, I know." Jin said nodding.

Takuya and Jin walked to the group and showed off the piece of armor that belonged to the Londers Prisoner. "Let's take this back to the academy and report to Ojii-chan." Takuya suggested. Every one nodded.

While every one was walking back to the academy, Ryan was walking in front of whistling happily. "How much did that monster say was true?" Reiko asked Mariko and Daiki.

"Actually . . . I think what it said was quite true." Daiki replied.

"Yeah, it was scary, it knew a lot." Mariko said.

"So you . . ." Reiko asked.

"Yeah, I think it's true." Mariko said nodding, referring to what the monster had said about her hatred for Takuya. "But . . . I love my Onii-chan and I can't let something that a monster say bring me down."

"You said . . . Onii-chan didn't you!" Takuya said excitedly.

"HUH!" Mariko turned to look at Takuya, "um, NO! I didn't say Onii-chan, I said Onii-sama!"

"Lies!" Takuya said running up to his sister and pinching her playfully.

"Wow, you sure get excited easily." Jin teased Takuya.

"Shut up." Takuya said chuckling.

"But you know," Daiki said, "I think I like what Ryan said better."

"I think we can all agree on that." Reiko replied. "He was after all making us feel better after being affected by the monster's words."

"Even though what he said made him seem like an idiot." Takuya replied.

"I like Ryan, he's stupid!" Mariko said cheerfully.

"WHAT!" Ryan turned to look at Mariko. "You like me . . . because I'm stupid!"

"Eh?" Mariko looked at Ryan naively.

Ryan turned and cried. "Why." He wept.

"I think you broke him." Jin whispered to Mariko.

...

Takuya turned away from the group when they entered the academy. "I'm going to check up on that woman." Takuya said. "You guys go report to Ojii-chan first."

"Well he may still be in the nurse's office, so we'll follow!" Ryan declared.

"That's fine with me." replied Takuya.

Takuya entered the room with Ryan next to him and the others following suit.

"Ah, I see you found me." Ojii-chan said. "I'm just here waiting for this woman to wake up."

"She still hasn't?" Reiko asked. Ojii-chan shook his head.

"Not yet, but she's breathing so I know she's alive." Ojii-chan said, which afterwards the woman let out a small yawn. "Eh?"

Every one watched as the woman sat up and rubbed her eyes. She was finally awake, they can finally get some answers on why monsters were chasing her. She opened her eyes and the first thing she was was Ryan, who was surprised to see the woman. The woman opened her eyes widely, then started crying. "Ryan . . . RYAN!" She shouted out happily and jumped at Ryan.

"Yuna, what are you doing here!" Ryan shouted and grabbed onto the woman after she hugged him.

"EH!" Every one shouted.

"You know her!" Ojii-chan shouted and pointed at the woman, who is named Yuna.

"Well . . . she is a childhood friend of mine's." Ryan replied.

"Oh really." Ojii-chan said nodding.

"Ryan, I can't believe you're here." Yuna said grabbing onto Ryan tightly. "I thought I might never see you again."

"Yuna . . . why are you here?" Ryan asked.

"I . . ." Yuna was about to reply, but then, "I can't tell you, but I have to get to Saburo Yatsude as soon as possible!"

"Well you're in luck lady." Jin said popping up next to Ryan. "You're here."

"Eh?" Yuna asked.

"Well this seems a tad awkward." Daiki said rubbing his head. "But . . ."

"Well anyway." Reiko said.

"Welcome," Mariko said.

"Yuna-san." Takuya said.

"TO SABURO YATSUDE!" Everyone shouted.

...

The plan for Yuna was for her to stay while the doctor in the academy treated her and checked to see if her body got injured at all. At the same time, Yuna was going to use the time that she has in the academy to find answers about the item on her neck.

While Yuna was staying in the academy, Ryan followed the others to a housing area in the city. "Well . . . this place seems like it'll be small." Ryan said looking at a door while he and Mariko and Daiki stood in a short hallway.

"You'll be surprised." Daiki said opening the door. Inside, there was a huge room.

"WHOA!" Ryan shouted. He dashed around the room and examined it. It was huge. There were two beds in there and there was still a lot of space left for Ryan and more! "How the hell is this room so huge!"

"It was a technology used by the Go-ongers." Daiki replied. "We're just making use of it."

"AWESOME!" Ryan gave two thumbs up.

"Welcome to our room!" Mariko cheerfully said. "This will be your new home from now on!"

Ryan checked up on a corner in the room. "Hey can I use that corner to install a play pen?" He asked.

"A what?" Daiki asked.

"A play pen." Ryan said.

"Why?"

"I have my reasons." Ryan replied.

"O . . . K." Daiki said. "I don't even want to know why you want a play pen."

"Thanks Daiki!" Ryan said Daiki's name childishly.

"Please . . . don't do that." Daiki said.

"But I hear Mariko say your name like that many times." Ryan remarked.

"YOU'RE NOT MARIKO!"

...

Late at night, Magired rode his hover cycle into the Academy's campus. Two other rangers rode in on motorcycles. "You guys are pretty late." Magired said.

"Sorry." Said the white female ranger. "Had a few trouble with some monsters on the ground."

"Took them down quite easily too." Said the silver male ranger.

"Well, they sent us to this academy to help out." Magired said as his suit dematerialized along with the others.

"That's right." The female said.

"Let's help them out as best we can." Magired said, "We'll make sure Shining Phoenixz won't fail."

... Next Morning ...

Early in the morning, while Daiki was still sleeping soundly, the ground started to shake wildly. "AH!" Daiki shouted and stood up in bed. "What the!" He looked out the window. "What's going on!"

"DAIKI!" Mariko shouted and ran into the room, only to look away again. "Put on some pants please."

Daiki looked down. "GAH!" Daiki grabbed a bed sheet to cover himself up. "YOU CAN LOOK NOW!"

Mariko turned to Daiki, then she started jumping around. "Ryan's gone! He just up and disappeared this morning!"

"Did he say anything!" Daiki asked.

"He left a note saying something about looking for the sun." Mariko replied.

Daiki thought about that response, then realized something, "I'm working to make sure the kids of this world can see a sunrise before they become old."

"GEEZ!" Daiki shouted flinging off his bed sheet, resulting in Mariko looking away again. Daiki quickly got dressed. "Come on, I think I know where he is!"

...

Dairyuoh stood on a tall cliff. "Dairyuoh, FIRE!" Ryan shouted and Dairyuoh's dragon chest fired a flame breath at the sky in an attempt to blast the clouds. There was only a little shine lighting up a dark sky. "AGAIN!" Dairyuoh fired again. The clouds separated again. "COME ON COME ON COME ON!" Dairyuoh fired again and again, but the clouds just kept covering the sun again. By the time Ryan got to see the sun again, it had already risen, and the clouds again covered the sun. "DAMN IT!" Ryan screamed and punched the ground. The Kodenfire suit dematerialized. "I was so close . . ." Ryan took advantage of the fact that the barrier still needed some time to fix and used that time to try to break away the clouds in the sky. He didn't succeed, "even though there's a chance right in front of me, I CAN'T DO IT!"

Daiki came driving by with a green car with Mariko in the seat next to him. "Ryan!" Mariko shouted. She ran out the door with Daiki following suit. Ryan got up with his back turned to the two. "Ryan, what are you doing!"

Mariko and Daiki ran up to Ryan. Ryan turned and the two could see that Ryan had been crying. "Sorry, I shouldn't have ran off, right?" Ryan asked. Dairyuoh dematerialized from reality. Ryan walked past Daiki and Mariko, "come on, it's almost breakfast time." Ryan said walking away.

"Poor guy." Daiki said. He looked at the sky and could tell what Ryan had been doing. "It seemed like he tried so hard too."

"It's pretty sad." Mariko said.

"But you know, it's the way the world works now." Daiki said. "We can only do so much to change it."

"But . . . hopefully, one day we will change it though." Mariko said.

"Right, but Ryan needs to hold on until then." Daiki said. "But . . ."

"Hey come on!" Ryan shouted getting on his Hikoden. Ryan was smiling. "Let's go out to eat, last one to the café pays!" Ryan drove off.

"HEY!" Mariko shouted cheerfully. She ran to the car. "Come on Daiki, let's hurry up!"

"You sure, I'm not going to let you beat me to the café you know." Daiki said chuckling. Then he mumbled to himself, "that guy, he's dedicated and one day, who knows, he may finally get that sunrise to light up all the land."
