Pikatwig: So it's just me today. Huh, guess I'm on my own… Silver? KKD? Hello?
Silver: *walks in holding a box full of Krispy Kreme Donuts, with a creme filled in his mouth* Huh? Am I late for writing?
Pikatwig: Cool, I'm not alone!
Silver: Hey, where's Sempai?
Pikatwig: Dunno… guess we're on our own for a while. So anyway, you ready?
Silver: Yosha! Ikuze!
DISCLAIMERS: Neither KKD, Pikatwig, nor Silver own Super Sentai or anything else used in this fanfic with the exception of some characters like Takeshi & Hana Narumi (KKD), Kota Hikari (Pikatwig), or Kai & Kasumi Yuuto and Raven Tsubasa (Silver). The rest belong to Toei, Bandai, and their respective owners.
"So despite the fact you two are twins, you and Kassie celebrate your birthdays on different days?" Kota asked Kai.
"Well, we were born around midnight. Kassie was born two minutes before I was…" Kai admitted, shrugging his shoulders, "Anyways, we need to find a good present for Nee-san for her party."
"You'd better not see what I get for you if I get your present for your party…" Kota stated.
"I hope I get the new Gigant Braigi-Oh! Being the latest in Sentai merchandise, I really want it! Plus, I have the other 10 ZyuDenRyu Toys and so many Zyudenchi that it's just like the show!" Kai shouted, incredibly joyous over his fantasy.
"Yea yea. So you've given everyone but me a role to do for your sister's surprise party, but what am I going to do?"
"Simple, Kota, my Amigo Carnival. You're a distraction!"
"Huh?"
"Okay, you just need to go into Maxus Cards, where Kassie is hanging out, and keep her there until Take-chan, Hana, and I are ready for her to come to the house…"
"So… can Ai hang out with us?" Kota checked.
"She's setting up the balloons, silly," Kai chuckled, pushing Kota into the card shop, "Now get in there and help make sure we make Kasumi's birthday a fies… ta."
"Wait, why do I have to do this alone?!," Kota replied, before he looked over at Kai, who was frozen in shock, then he looked on the ground. Multiple Dice-O players lay unconscious on the ground, as two hooded figures stood over them. Kai and Kota then looked over in horror, as Kasumi lay in the control chair for Dice-O, looking like the life was sucked out of her. "Kassie?!" Kota gasped, running to her side.
"Nee-san, snap out of it!" Kai pleaded, trying to shake Kasumi awake. However, she wasn't waking up.
"This is kinda like when the Yellow Shinkenger got her soul stolen…" Kota compared.
"Damnit, Kota, this is serious!" Kai shouted, obviously scared for his sister, "Please, Kassie… please don't be dead…" Tears slowly began to stream down his face before he looked up at the two hooded figures who were advancing on the three of them.
"Who are you?" one of them asked, who had a gruff male voice.
"Better question is who you two are, and what you have done to these people?!" Kota replied.
"Not like you need to know, so, let's Dice-O," the other one said in a feminine voice.
"You… you'd better fix what you've done to my sister, or else you're gonna get it!" Kai shouted, ready to attack the two.
"If you beat us in the game, you'll save your big sister," the male voice said walking over to the console.
"But if you don't, we'll take your cards…" the female figure added sinisterly, "and your souls."
Kai was a little taken back and then Kota said "I made a good comparison huh? Anyway, let's Dice-O!"
Kai looked over at Kota, surprised he was willing to risk his life to save Kasumi. Though, would Kai not have done the same?
"You're on, creeps! No one messes with a Yuuto and gets away with it!" Kai shouted, scanning in his cards to face the mysterious female while Kota took on the male.
"Red Buster! AbareBlack! DekaBlue! TimePink! Green Sai! Red Team 1, Ready, Battle!"
"Confrontation Beast Chameleon-Fist Mele! Shadow Dragonranger! Shadow ShinkenGreen! Shadow DekaGreen! Shadow Go-On Green! Blue Team 1, Ready Battle!"
"MegaRed! Go-On Blue! DekaYellow! MagiGreen! GoseiPink! Red Team 2, Ready, Battle!"
"Black Lion Rio! Shadow Kingranger! Shadow BoukenBlack! Shadow KyoryuBlack! Shadow GoseiBlack! Blue Team 2, Ready, Battle!"
"A Tag battle? Cool! I didn't know this could happen…" Kota stated.
"Keep your head in the game, Kota." Kai stated, obviously not in his carefree attitude. He didn't have time to goof around when his sister's life was on the line. Kota nodded, and then pulled his goggles over his eyes, as if saying "Let's Kick It Up!"
"Let's go! Dice-O Battle!" Kai and Kota shouted, as their warriors appeared side-by-side on the battlefield.
"Red Buster! Busters, Ready, Go!"
"The Invincible Ryuujin Soul! AbareBlack! Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger!"
"DekaBlue! Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger!"
"TimePink! The lives of people are the future of this planet! Mirai Sentai Timeranger!"
"Green Sai! Choujuu Sentai Liveman!"
"MegaRed! Denji Sentai Megaranger!"
"Zubari Seikai! Go-On Blue! Pressing forward on the Road to Justice! Engine Sentai Go-Onger!"
"DekaYellow! Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger!"
"The howling earth element! Magician of the Green! MagiGreen! Overflowing Courage changes into Magic! Mahou Sentai Magiranger!"
"The Skick Power of Breath! GoseiPink! Protecting the planet is an angel's duty! Tensou Sentai Goseiger!"
On the other side of the battlefield, the two "rangers" controlled by the two hooded figures stood side by side, as 8 green and black senshi stood ready. However, something seemed off about these warriors, as they all had a black aura glow around them.
"What the heck?" Kai said confused.
"Is there some sort of glitch or something?" Kota gawked.
"You misunderstand, foolish children," the male stated, "We are the Shadow Elites, sent from our world to collect the Soul Cards in order to keep the Earth's heroes from getting in our master's grand plan!"
"Whatever! If you mess with one member of our group, you mess with all of them!" Kota exclaimed.
"Why are you even telling us this anyways?" Kai asked, "You know we're not gonna lose!"
"Oh, Foolish human…" the female shadow elite smiled underneath her hood, which showed green, snake-like eyes, "You actually think you'll win? We'll defeat you with the help of the one you love most…" With that, the two pressed the sixth ranger buttons on their consoles.
"Sixth Senshi already?! That's overkill!" Kota shouted.
"And impossible…" Kai added, "Ranger assists act like a Limit Break, only usable after your team has taken enough-"
"You might wanna look dude," Kota pointed out, as the next thing they knew, two more figures appeared onscreen. However, the two characters looked human, and weren't in any sort of Sentai suit at all. In addition, one of the characters had familiar blonde hair and cyan glasses.
"Nee-san!" Kai shouted out, looking at the digital representation of his sister in the game, before scowling at the two Shadow Elites in front of him, "What did you do to her?!"
"Oh, it's quite simple, human whelp!" the female Shadow Elite laughed, holding up a card in front of him with Kasumi's picture on it, "These are Soul Cards. A human becomes one of them whenever they are defeated by people like us, their soul trapped within a card. It's the same as when we defeated your pitiful Super Sentai heroes and trapped their souls within cards like those forever!"
Kota was in shock, and began to tear up, and then he switched control over to GoseiPink and charged.
"I shall destroy all who oppose me," Kasumi suddenly muttered, almost like a robot, as white armor suddenly appeared around her, making her look like a dice-like Senshi. Kota then evaded her and charged at Rio and Mele.
"YOU TWO ARE GOING DOWN!" he shouted. However, as GoseiPink attacked, backed up by DekaBlue and AbareBlack, Kasumi and the other human, also changed into a white warrior, blocked the attack with longswords, then swung back at the Senshi in front of them dealing massive damage. Kota suddenly froze up out of fear of hurting Kassie, and then GoseiPink was saved by Red Buster.
"Get your head in the game if you want to save your friend!" the two suddenly heard Red Buster say, as if he were actually speaking to them.
"Thanks for the help, Hiromu..." GoseiPink's voice stated, as she got to her feet.
Kota and Kai were taken back by this, and then suddenly, Red Buster and GoseiPink began to glow, and then they changed into their super forms, Super GoseiPink and Red Buster Powered Custom without the input of Kai or Kota.
Red Buster then looked at the screen, as if he could see Kai. "We're gonna need your help if we are to save your sister. You ready?"
Kai nodded, despite being slightly confused, then Kota looked at GoseiPink. "Okay, let's do it to it!" Kota exclaimed.
Together, the two pressed the assist buttons together, spawning in KyoryuGold and another character, who looked similar to the Kyoryuger but was silver and his helmet looked like a brachiosaurus.
"Daimei no Yuusha! KyoryuGold, Kenzan!"
"Senkou no Yuusha! KyoryuSilver!"
"The world's strongest Brave!" the two senshi shouted, "Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger!"
"Whoa! What's that ranger?" Kota asked, in awe at the silver warrior Kai had summoned.
"KyoryuSilver," Kai replied, "Pretty much one of the coolest senshi in Kyoryuger! Let's waste these fakers, Torin!"
Kota gave a small nod as they attacked together, slashing through the Shadowy Senshi with their swords, causing them to melt into shadows.
"KyoryuSilver, Ability Activate! Torinity Strizer!" Kai shouted, as KyoryuSilver slashed his sword in the air, making a triangle form out of light.
"Super Pink Trick, Tensou!" Kota announced, as Super GoseiPink unleashed a pink wind wave of energy, moving alongside KyoryuSilver's attack.
"Volcanick Attack!" Red Buster shouted, changing into a firey cheetah, running through flaming rings at Rio and Mele. Together, the three attacks collided with the two white warriors, passing through them and finishing off Rio and Mele.
"We won!" Kota exclaimed, as the two looked at the screen where the beaten warriors were defeated. However, Rio and Mele suddenly rose up, along with the other Shadow Senshi, as darkness suddenly clouded the field.
"You honestly think you've beaten us yet?" the male Shadow Elite cackled, as the two pressed their megazord buttons, "Mecha Activate! Mega Diceoids!" Suddenly, the two white warriors, which were most likely called Diceoids by how the Shadow Elites described them, suddenly stood up, changing giant on the battlefield while Rio and Mele still attacked with their shadow team. The giant warriors then suddenly stomped on top of Kai's team, destroying them. As this occurred, the game suddenly exploded in front of Kai, who suddenly fell out of his chair unconscious.
"KAI!" Kota shouted in fear as he loaded in his GoseiGreat card, "I… I don't know what to do now…"
"How about you just give up?" the female Shadow Elite cackled, as the Mega Diceoids attacked the mecha above the battle, as the shadow senshi still tore up Kota's team.
"What do I do?" Kota wailed under his breath. He felt hopeless to save his friends, and he knew he would lose and end up how they did. However, he started to hear a voice within his head as the voice of GoseiPink spoke to him.
"You can't just give up now…" she stated, as an image of her in ranger form appeared in his mind, "Your friends are counting on you, the ones who took you into their circle after you left everything behind. Even if the odds are against you, you can't just let them down and give up!"
Kota was speechless, and he began to feel less nervous, and more confident.
"You have to keep the fight going! You can't quit, not when you're so close!" a second voice added in. He then saw KyoryuGold stand by GoseiPink.
"You can do it, man! I believe in you!" the voice of Kai exclaimed, as he appeared before Kota.
"Kai! I… I'm so sorry I wasn't able to keep you from…"
"It's okay. We just need to not give up! I know you can do it, Kota!"
Kota began to tear up, and then just when GoseiGreat was tossed to the ground, it used its sword to stop the attacks, and then slashed away. "Slash away!" Kota shouted, as the mecha opened the wings on its back wide, flying at the two Mega Diceoids and slashing them in half, as they shrunk down to human size. The white armor suddenly broke off the two of them, as Kasumi looked up toward Kota from inside the machine, smiling.
"Thank you… Kota," she stated, before disintegrating into data. Kota was worried at first, but then calmed down.
"Yosha! Ikuze!" he screamed, as KyoryuGold and MegaRed ran straight at Rio and Mele, slashing right through them and defeating the Shadow Elites. Suddenly, the Dice-O consoles glowed gold, as balls of light emerged, absorbing into each of the unconscious people, causing them to wake up instantly. "Kai… Kassie?" Kota said, looking at the two.
"I'm… I'm alive?" Kasumi gasped, looking at the backs of her hands, relieved that her soul was back in her body.
"Nee-san!" Kai cheered, jumping out of the chair and hugging the oxygen out of Kasumi's lungs, "I'm so glad you're alright! I don't know what I would have done if you had…"
Kassie motioned for him to stop, and then looked over at a teary-eyed Kota. "I was… worried… that I wouldn't see you guys again," Kota whimpered.
"Thank you, Kota. You saved us…" Kasumi stated, grateful of what the teen had done. She then came over to him, planting him a kiss on the cheek.
Meanwhile, the two Shadow Elites looked over at each other. "Our operation has been compromised! We must report back to Master Saikoroller!" the female Shadow Elite stated, as the two suddenly disappeared into shadow.
The three looked over at where the Shadow Elites had disappeared from, confused to what had happened.
"I'm glad I'm not stuck as a card…" Kasumi stated, "Not being able to move, to breath, not even scream! It was a nightmare…"
"...I was so scared that… I lost you forever, Kassie-chan," Kota said.
"Thanks, Kota. You're a true friend for helping me out there…" Kasumi replied.
"I'm just glad my twin sister is safe…" Kai added, hugging his sister tight. Suddenly, he felt a buzz in his pocket, as he got a text from Takeshi.
"A text?" Kota asked.
Kai looked at his phone, then back at Kota, nodding to him. "Nee-san, let's head back to the house. I want to go play some Kamen Rider: Super Climax Heroes with you."
"Wait…" Kasumi interrupted, before Kai and Kota went out the store doors, "What about what they said about these Soul Cards? Do you think… the Sentai heroes we're using are trapped souls?"
Kai looked at the two of them with concern, then sighed. "We'll talk about this when Take-chan and Hana are with us. They deserve to know about this. Anyways, I'll go on ahead. There are a few things I need to take care of…" As he walked out, he paused to turn around and speak. "Also… happy birthday, Nee-san."
She smiled. "Thanks Kai. Happy Birthday to you too." She then turned toward Kota as Kai left to finish up getting the party ready.
"Kota-san… thanks for saving me," Kassie smiled.
"No prob… you wanna sit down for a bit?" Kota offered.
"Yeah. I guess Kai's game can wait a bit," Kasumi replied, sitting down with Kota, as the two smiled at each other.
"So Kassie, do you like me and my sister?" Kota asked.
"Well, you're a nice guy, and your sister is a cute little child…" Kasumi replied.
Kota smiled and then he looked at the store. "So… what season is your favorite?"
"Well… the last one I watched was Shinkenger, but I feel I really enjoyed that one. I mean, it was the first Series to feature a female red senshi! That's pretty amazing."
Kota gave a tiny chuckle and then said "Ever hear of the A-Squad Rangers?"
Kasumi looked over at Kota, letting out a slight chuckle of her own, as the two sat back to just take in the card store they had come to love. Kota then took something out and handed it to Kasumi. "Happy Birthday," Kota said.
She gave a small look at it, and then opened the gift, showing a reverse holographic Princess ShinkenRed Card. "Turn it over," Kota told her, and Kasumi gasped, seeing it had a signature from the actress who played Princess ShinkenRed. She then quickly hugged Kota with a giant smile.
"I'm sorry, sir. we failed our mission to retrieve the Soul cards…" the female Shadow Elite apologized, as she and her partner kneeled before Master Saikoroller.
"No, you two have done an excellent job," Saikoroller sneered. "Thanks to the data we've gathered, we know how our opposition fights. Next time…" he then looked down in his hands, which held a bunch of different Dice-O cards, "We'll be able to defeat them and obtain the remaining Soul Cards for good."
KKD: *rushes in panting like crazy.* Hey guys…. sorry I'm late… where were we?
Silver: Uh… Sempai, we already finished a chapter with just the two of us…
KKD: Nani?! DRAT! I hope I didn't miss anything too important.
Silver: Mostly just an introduction of the main antagonist group and PT-chan and I arguing silently over how to end the chapter… -_-
KKD: ...Excuse me for a moment. *Walks out of the room into a soundproof one before screaming profanities could be heard, albeit slightly muffled, before KKD walked back out.* Okay, I'm better. Speaking of which, where is Pika?
Silver: Probably locked in a closet. I got kinda annoyed of him arguing… Just kidding. he went to get some more donuts. He'll be here soon.
Pikatwig: *walks in with a box of donuts, which Silver takes one* Well… the only other part I thought would work was in the final, so yea.
Silver: *sigh* Let's just get on with the outro.
Pikatwig: Sorry.
KKD: Can we just get started? I'll ask the questions but not answer, so since I was out most of the time, what was your favorite parts to the chapter?
Pikatwig: The ending part with Kassie and Kota.
KKD: Cool. Silver?
Silver: I personally liked the whole Tag Battle Mechanic of the Dice-O battle. I've always loved the Versus Movies/Team Up Specials in Sentai/Power Rangers, my favorite being the Lightspeed Rescue/Time Force team-up. I've also loved Tag Duels in Yu-Gi-Oh and Double Battles in Pokemon.
KKD: Cool. Anything else you guys want to add?
Pikatwig: Hmm… nothing I can think of.
Silver: Besides PT-chan's tendency to over-extend endings, nothing really. Nothing personal, Aibou, but you do drag on a bit on endings…
Pikatwig: ... sorry.
Silver: Anyways, let's finish this off with our awesomeness triple sign-off. Anyways, remember to like, comment, subscribe… wait, that's Youtube… whatever, same applies… and send in your Dice-O team stuff. Your entry could end up in this fanfic! Now, without further ado, take it away, Sempai! ^^
KKD: Jaa ne!
Pikatwig: Just Live More.
Silver: Stand up the Vanguard!
