Chapter 4: Checkmate, Take to the Skies towards Victory

Rayo struggled against his bindings after the Higher Zobils left the binded rangers together at a cliff in the quarry. "Damn it, if I only I can reach my Magiphone." Rayo growled. "Then I can get us out of here. Hey, Ken." Rayo called out to Ken, only to see that Ken appeared to be spacing out and looking at the sky. "OI KEN!"

"Hm . . ." Ken said. "I never realized how cloudy the sky was before." Ken was completely ignoring Rayo. "I don't think the sky was ever like this back at home."

"What are you talking about?" Rayo asked. "It's been like that for decades now. How can your home be any more clear?"

"I should tell you, I'm not really from around these parts." Ken said.

"Oh so you're an alien from another planet." Rayo said nodding. "It's no wonder you're so interested in some weird stuff."

"Actually I'm human." Ken replied.

"WHAT!" Rayo shouted in disbelief. "Ok, I don't get it. You say your home has real clear skies, yet this planet hasn't had a clear day in ages. I don't think you're old enough to even have been born in the days when the sky was clear and monsters only attacked once a day."

"Oh where I'm from, monsters attack aplenty, just not at the rates that go on here." Ken replied. "The skies are clear and the sun shines bright. We don't have rangers back home."

"Eh?" Rayo squeaked.

"We instead have warriors donning belts and transforming to fight the monsters that do exist." Ken explained. "Where we're from, a ranger would be a rare sight indeed."

"Seriously, I don't get it." Rayo replied. "So you're a human, but you're from a place where the sky is clear and you have other warriors that aren't rangers defending the populace?"

"Don't strain your brain, you'll probably not figure it out." Smokey said peeking out of his lamp. "Trust me on that."

"I probably will." Rayo said. He looked around. Higher Zobils and Zobils were joined up by Nanashis and the Elephant Gedoshu. They appeared to be guarding a large compartment on the ground. "What the heck are they doing?"

"They appear to be preparing for a ritual of sorts." Ken answered. "What this ritual is for? We must stick around to find out."

"No thanks!" Rayo shouted. He tried reaching farther into his pocket. "Come on, Magiphone." He whispered.

Mariko started to stir. "Huh, what happened?" She asked.

"Good morning, Mariko Shiba." Said a voice walking towards Mariko. Ken and Rayo turned to the voice while Smokey just turned in his lamp. Approaching Mariko appeared to be a human man. This man wore a red and black feudal robe. One noticeable thing that made this man obviously not human was that he had red eyes and fangs protruding out of his mouth. He carried a large serrated sword on his back. He walked up to Mariko as Mariko opened her eyes.

Mariko looked at the man who was right in front of her. The man then grabbed Mariko by the chin. "MARIKO!" Rayo shouted.

"Do you remember me, Mariko Shiba?" The man asked.

"Huh?" Mariko grumbled then looked at the man clearly. "Who are you?"

"I see, you don't remember me." The man said closing his eyes, then smirked. "Well you were only seven that time."

"Wha?" Mariko gasped.

"Do you not remember that day . . . THE DAY YOUR FATHER DIED!" The man shouted.

Mariko let out a loud gasp.

Grunts of all kinds invaded the Shiba Household. Kurokos scurried away after the Twenty First Head of the Shiba Clan, Shinkenred, Araki Shiba, prepared for battle with other Academy rangers. Among these rangers were a blue ranger known by the title Kodenblue, a green ranger known by the title Shurikenger, and other Shinkengers with the notable exceptions of a Shinkenpink and a Shinkengold.

Araki was in the Shinkenred suit but also had a white regal robe on. Araki was not Shinkenred, but Super Shinkenred. Araki was using the Shinkenmaru with the Inromaru attached. Araki slashed at the monsters that got through while the other rangers handled the vast amounts of grunts. The grunts burned down a good amount of the household with burning projectiles.

Young Takuya was protecting a seven year old Mariko with a spare Shinkenmaru that was lying around. Takuya slashed grunts that were coming towards them and guided Mariko through the halls to escape the burning building. As they made their escape, they came across a monster.

This monster wore a similar robe to the man that was now talking to Mariko in the present, however the robe had a more demonic design and looked more like the robe was the monster's body instead of a separate item of clothing. The monster had a demonic face with spikes on its head with two spikes emerging to resemble a Samurai's crest. The monster also had spikes emerging from its shoulders and elbows. On the back of the monster was the same sword carried by the man now talking to Mariko in the present.

The monster looked at Takuya with its red eyes, then drew its sword to strike at Takuya. Takuya parried the sword, growling from the feeling of the great strength of the monster. Mariko whimpered as her elder brother tried to block the sword, but the sword was too heavy and the sword was coming close to Takuya's face.

Araki slashed a Golem and Cotpotro. Then he saw the monster attacking Takuya. "TAKUYA MARIKO!" Araki shouted then sliced a Bibi away. Araki rushed towards his kids. Araki pushed Takuya away from the monster and got slashed on the back. "ARGH!"

"Otou-san!" Takuya shouted.

"Tou-chan!" Mariko cried out.

Araki growled then slashed at the monster with his Super Shinkenmaru. The monster slashed at Araki multiple times, then the monster bashed at the Inromaru and eventually broke the box and slashed Araki once more. Araki rolled towards Takuya and Mariko, with his white robe turning to dust.

Shurikenger slashed the grunts around, but then got a burning arrow to the chest and a strike from various monsters. He let out a scream and fell, with his suit dematerializing, leaving an unmoving body.

Kodenblue knocked monsters around with boxing techniques but was then slashed across the back by various Nanashi and Zobils. Kodenblue fell with his suit dematerializing.

The Shinkengers that stood in a triangle formation, but were then blasted by projectiles from various grunts. All three fell down to the ground, losing their suits in the process.

The monster attempted one more attack, but Araki opened his belt buckle to pull out a dark red disk and spun the disk on his Shinkenmaru. A red robe similar to the white robe appeared on Araki's suit. Araki's Shinkenmaru transformed into a Shinkenmaru like red sword that resembled a dinosaur head, thus completing Araki's transformation into Hyper Shinkenred. Araki swung the sword and the blade extended and bent to cut the monster, giving Araki time to take Mariko into his arms and running away with her with Takuya following Araki.

"Get back here!" The monster shouted in the same voice as the man now talking to Mariko only with an echoing distortion in the voice.

Araki got to the back of the household and set Mariko down. "Tou-chan, what are we going to do?" Mariko cried.

Araki grunted and held his arm. It wasn't noticeable, but there was blood coming out onto the suit. "Listen, Takuya, Mariko. I need you two to leave now." Araki said. He then took out his Shodophone and drew the Kanji for horse. A horse appeared after the Kanji was turned. Araki helped Mariko onto the horse. "Takuya, get on with your sister."

"Otou-san, I'm not leaving without you." Takuya said trying to sound calm in the face of danger, but unfortunately couldn't help but let out a sob.

"Please, Takuya, get on." Araki said.

Some Kurokos scurried out of the shadows to get Takuya onto the horse without his consent. Araki handed his Shodophone to Takuya and another Shodophone to Mariko. "Otou-san, but this is . . ." Takuya said.

Araki looked down on the ground. "I'm leaving this with you now, take care of it." Araki said, almost sounding like he was holding back tears. Araki looked at Takuya and Mariko. Araki then handed two folded items that were respectively red and pink, along with the Kabuto, Kajiki, and Tora disks."Take care of each other ok."

"Tou-chan, what are you saying?" Mariko asked sniffing.

Araki shirked his face away, then hit the horse to get it to go. "OTOU-SAN!" Takuya shouted.

"TOU-CHAN!" Mariko screamed.

"Get to the academy!" Araki shouted. "Only they can help you!" Araki turned his back away from Takuya and Mariko, who were being followed by the household's Kurokos on black horses. "Takuya, you are now the Twenty Second Head of the Shiba Clan, I declare you as Lord now!"

Takuya stared at Hyper Shinkenred in horror. "OTOU-SAN!" Takuya screamed out as he knew what his father was going to do. Araki was going to fight till death. "OTOU-SAN!"

Araki walked towards the household, then broke into a run, ignoring his children.

"TOU-CHAN COME BACK!" Mariko said crying. She sobbed but Araki just wasn't turning back. "TOU-CHAN!"

The two kids heard Araki's war cries as he continued the battle alone, with all his comrades dead. Eventually Araki's shouts stopped and his voice was silenced forever.

Mariko gritted her teeth. "How would you know about that?"

"Because . . ." The man transformed into the monster in Mariko's flashback, giving her a shock. "I was the one who killed him."

Mariko was frozen in shock, then she growled violently. "YOU BASTARD!" Mariko screamed. "You killed my daddy!"

"So what." The monster said. "It doesn't matter, he was just another human."

"HE WAS MY FATHER!" Mariko shouted.

"Calm down Mariko!" Ken shouted. "If you get angry you're only doing what he wants."

"What are you talking about!" Rayo shouted rashly. "This thing is a total monster!" Rayo growled then stood up, trying to free himself from his bindings. "Mariko has every right to be angry!"

The monster whacked Rayo, "insolent boy." The monster said. "If you weren't so important, I would kill you right now."

"Wha?" Rayo gasped. "Me . . . important?"

"Of course." The monster said. He walked past Rayo, "you are needed way more than you think you are."

"Wait stop!" Mariko shouted. "Come back here!" She stood up. "Get back here and fight me!"

"You really think you can fight me in the state that you're in right now?" The monster asked and Mariko looked at her bindings. "I didn't think so."

"DAMN IT!" Mariko screamed.

"Who the hell are you to say that!" Rayo shouted.

"The name is Yami, remember that." Yami said. He walked towards the Elephant Gedoshu and the grunts. They were joined by other monsters. A knightly Dora Monster and a Faucet Bankijyu.

"Damn it." Rayo growled. "I just have to reach . . ."

Mariko, who was looking strong before, started crying.

"What's wrong?" Rayo turned to Mariko.

"That thing . . ." Mariko sobbed. "Tou-chan."

Rayo gasped. He put on a determined face. "Once I get you out of this, we'll fight that thing."

"Huh?" Mariko turned to Rayo.

"Don't worry, we'll kill him, for your father." Rayo said.

"I do say, it's best you don't fight him." Ken said.

"What?" Rayo growled.

"Yami, he's way more powerful than you think he is." Ken said.

"What the hell are you talking about!" Rayo shouted.

"He fought against Super Shinkenred and Hyper Shinkenred and was able to kill the one under the suit." Ken said.

Mariko let out a yelp. "Why would you know such a thing?"

"Gaia Library." Ken replied. "Anyway, I'm pretty sure you know how powerful those two forms are."

"Yeah, they're regarded as the strongest powers that a Shinkenger can use." Rayo said. "The Lord of the Shiba Clan is touted as the strongest warrior of the Shinkengers."

"Yes, now if the previous Lord of the Clan died while fighting against a monster using those two forms, do you think you two, ones who have yet to receive power ups, can match up against a total monster like that?"

"I . . . I see what you mean." Rayo said.

"We'll probably get killed." Mariko said.

"That is why I say, that once we get out, we flee to fight another day." Ken said. "One day Yami will be defeated, maybe even by you Mariko. But for today we must not fight them."

"I see what you mean." Rayo said. Then he growled. "NGH!"

"Rayo!" Mariko shouted.

Rayo got a dream, Super Gekired and Kodenfire vs Tyrannoranger, Ryuranger, and Ninjared. The three evil rangers were cutting at Kodenfire with their respective swords.

Rayo gasped after he snapped back into reality. "What the . . . what was going on there?" Usually these visions were about a war between senshi, but this one was similar as those three rangers appeared again, yet this time . . . it was as though it was a vision of some sort of future. Rayo felt his finger against something afterwards. "Huh," as Rayo had his vision, Rayo's hand finally reached his Magiphone. "YES!" He whispered. He pulled the phone out. "Time to bust us out." Rayo whispered.

"I see now." Yami said grabbing onto Rayo's shoulder. "So you had the means to escape."

"WHAT!" Rayo shouted after he was pulled into the air by Yami. "Let go of me!"

"Now's not the time! WE CANNOT LET YOU ESCAPE!" Yami took the Magiphone from Rayo and threw Rayo towards the other monsters. "We must begin the ritual, then kill him for the Red Soul!"

"WHAT!" Mariko exclaimed. "You're going to kill him!"

Yami chuckled maniacally. "How does it feel Mariko Shiba, to lose another person you care about . . . right in front of your eyes again?"

Mariko shook her head. "No . . . no . . . NO!" She screamed.

Rayo landed on the compartment on the ground and found out it was a stone magic circle. "What the heck is this?" Rayo asked.

The grunts were dancing around in circles. The Knightly Dora Monster came up to Rayo. The Elephant Gedoshu and the Faucet Banki came up to pin Rayo's back to the stone.

"Now you must die." The Knightly Dora Monster said holding its giant sword in the air ready to stab Rayo in the heart. Rayo was sweating profusely in fear after seeing the sword and where it was aiming for. "For all . . . give us the Red Soul!"

"RAYO!" Mariko screamed getting up and running towards Rayo.

A bullet blasted the sword and the Knight's hand, making it drop the sword. More bullets were fired at the sword to hit the sword away from Rayo. Bullets then shot the monsters pinning Rayo down. Rayo looked up.

The woman in the white and blue Jacket who was coming to rescue Rayo was standing on an opposite cliff. "Rayo!" The woman shouted.

"Sakura Nee-san!" Rayo shouted in joy.

"Nee-san?" Mariko said.

Sakura jumped down from the cliff while shooting bullets from a little gun known as the SP Shooter. Sakura dodged around and fired at grunts and monsters.

"Who the hell is this!" Yami shouted. He drew his sword on his back. "Looks like someone needs to die." Yami jumped in the air.

Sakura kicked the Dora Monster away then shot the Gedoshu and Banki at point blank range. "Nee-san, you came!" Rayo exclaimed.

"Of course." Sakura said. "After all, you did send a signal from your Magiphone."

Let's explain. When Rayo was caught by Yami, Rayo quickly dialed on his phone to communicate with his team. His sister Sakura was able to track where the Magiphone was and used that information to find Rayo in a flash.

"Ok stand back, I'm blasting this thing off." Sakura said aiming her SP Shooter at the gunk on Rayo.

"LIKE I'LL LET YOU!" Yami shouted and slashed downwards from the sky. Rayo and Sakura rolled away to dodge the sword strike. Rayo defended himself against grunts by kicking them away.

Sakura dodged around Yami's sword swings. She aimed her gun but was smacked by the back of the blade so she ended up dropping her SP Shooter. Yami swung again. Sakura jumped back.

She pulled up her sleeves. "Time to get serious, no more nonsense." Sakura said. On her wrist was a blue and white changer.

"Go take him Nee-san!" Rayo shouted after kicking a Nanashi in the rear end.

Yami dashed towards Sakura. "Emergency!" Sakura shouted and pulled her body back. "Dekabreak!" Sakura pushed her body forward and pushed the Brace Throttle. A white glow surrounded her body as she back flipped away. She punched a Nanashi and cracked the neck of a Zobil. The suit of a ranger appeared on her body. "Face ON!" A helmet appeared on Sakura's head. She was now a white ranger known as Dekabreak.

All the grunts stood back in shock. "Dekabreak?" Mariko said in surprise.

"Interesting." Ken said nodding.

"Take him Sis, show him the power of Shining Phoenixz!" Rayo shouted.

"With pleasure." Sakura said clenching a fist. She threw a punch at Yami. "SUPER LIGHTNING FIST!" Sakura shouted and threw her fists at rapid succession at Yami.

Yami took the hits then Sakura kicked Yami away.

Sakura took up the throttle on her brace and revved it up. "FIRE FIST!" Sakura announced, then pulled her hand back. "HAH!" She punched the air forward and fired a fireball from her hands.

The fireball struck Yami and threw him back.

Grunts rushed at Sakura. Sakura revved up again. "Hyper Electro Fist!" She announced and punched the ground. Shockwaves zapped the grunts and each grunt exploded.

Yami growled in frustration. "Forget the ritual . . . JUST KILL THEM ALL!"

The elephant Gedoshu made a move towards the binded Mariko and Ken. "Watch out Mariko! Ken!" Rayo shouted and he kicked the Dora Monster and Faucet Banki away.

Suddenly, Kurokos in the area threw smoke bombs at the Gedoshu, stopping it in its tracks. "Stop right there, Gedoshu!" Takuya's voice resounded with a drumbeat.

The banner of the Shiba clan was spread. Takuya, Jin, and Reiko appeared in front of the banner with the Kurokos all over supporting them.

Yami looked up at Takuya, "oh my, it's him." Yami said chuckling.

"Do you know who this man is?" Jin started about Takuya. "This is the Twenty Second head of the Shiba Clan, lord of the . . ."

"Too long." Takuya said hitting Jin on the head with the Shodophone.

Jin yelped in pain, then stood up calmly, only to look at the Kurokos. "This is sort of weird." Jin said.

"Are these guys going to fight them?" Reiko asked.

"Even if they are like our own personal grunts, we cannot involve them." Takuya replied. He held his Shodophone in front of him. "All of you, I declare war on you all, for the capture of my sister Shiba Mariko! Are you all prepare to die?" Jin and Reiko prepared to transform.

"Ippitsu Sojo!"

"Jinrai Shinobi Change!"

"Tagire, Kemono no Chikara, Beast On!"

The three of them transformed. The Kurokos threw smoke bombs to distract the monsters as they did their roll call. "Shinkenred." Takuya said drawing his sword. "Shiba Takuya."

"Fanged Ninja, KuwagaRaiger!" Jin announced.

"Honest Heart, Gekiyellow!" Reiko announced.

"Team Lightning, GOING FORTH!" Team Lightning announced.

"Are you all prepared to get struck by lightning!" Jin exclaimed.

"Let's go!" Takuya shouted and the three rangers dashed towards the monster while the Kurokos all scurried away, except for three, who ran with the three rangers.

"Well looks like we got more help." Sakura said jabbing a Zobil.

Takuya slashed the grunts with his sword, protecting the Kurokos with him so the Kurokos could get to Mariko and Ken without fail.

Jin and Reiko fought Yami with the Ikazuchimaru and Gekitonfa Long Baton respectively. "Fools." Yami said. "DIE!" Except all Jin and Reiko were doing were distracting Yami so the third Kuroko could get Rayo's Magiphone from Yami's hand. "What!" After the Kuroko succeeded, Jin and Reiko back flipped away and started killing off grunts.

The two Kurokos dodged monster attacks and got to Mariko and Ken. They took out small knives and cut the yellow gunk. "Arigato." Mariko said cutely.

"Nice timing." Ken said. Afterwards the Kuroko cut up the gunk on Smokey and the Magilamp. Ken took the Magilamp and unloaded on the grunts.

The third Kuroko ran up to Rayo and gave Rayo his Magiphone back. "Yosh, thank you." Rayo said then dialed a spell that burned away the gunk.

The Dora Monster ran towards the third Kuroko, only to get elbowed by the Kuroko.

"You're really rearing to get bitten by my fangs aren't you?" Growled the Kuroko confidently.

"Hey, that Kuroko just talked!" Mariko exclaimed.

"Well they're human anyway." Jin said.

"But Kurokos are supposed to stay silent . . . most of the time at least." Mariko said.

The Third Kuroko jabbed the Dora Monster a few times, then roundhouse kicked the monster away, all the while taking off his mask, revealing to be the third companion who was with Rayo and Sakura.

"EIN!" Rayo and Sakura exclaimed.

"Hey, who is he?" Mariko asked dodging a grunts attack.

"Our third member." Rayo replied.

"EH!" Mariko shouted drawing the Kanji to summon her Shinkenmaru so she could cut a Zobil. "Why is he a Kuroko!"

"We found him looking for this place." Takuya replied bashing a Nanashi on the head with his sheath. Takuya parried a slash from Yami. "Since I was coming to get you, I thought I might as well let him help out."

"Then . . . these two must be Ryan and Daiki!" Mariko exclaimed cheerfully pointing at the two Kurokos. The two Kurokos shook their heads and hands. "Then Ken's teammates?"

"I doubt that they're Leo and Shinji." Ken said.

"They're just regular Kurokos." Takuya said pushing Yami back and cutting at Yami.

"Boo, how boring." Mariko said and the two Kurokos scattered.

"You're quite the trouble, losing your Magiphone in the enemies' territory." Ein said to Rayo. "You're lucky I got your signal or else I might've not even tried looking for you."

Rayo chuckled nervously. "Sorry."

Sakura kicked the Banki away. "You two, hurry up and Transform!" Sakura said revving up to rapid punch a bunch of grunts to oblivion.

"Well, since the whole gang is here now," Ein said, "how about we get started then Rayo-kun."

"It's just Rayo, don't add the kun." Rayo said.

Ein pulled his sleeves to reveal a blue and silver wolf face cellphone on his wrist. Ein took the phone. "Gao Access!" Ein shouted. The phone spun around, taking Ein's body into it. The phone enlarged, then bursted into Ein's helmet-less body with a navy and silver suite on. A mecha wolf image bit down on Ein's body creating a wolf helmet. Ein was a warrior known by the name of Gaosilver.

"Mahou Henshin, Magi Magi Magi, MAGIRO!" Rayo shouted and aimed his Magiphone to the sky. A red magic circle appeared from his phone and fell on Rayo, transforming him into Magired.

"I think it is best if we transform too." Ken said taking his GripPhone in hand, to Mariko.

"Yes lets." Mariko said drawing the Kanji for Heaven. "Ippitsu Sojo!"

"Tenkuu Henshin, Golu Golu Goludiro!" Ken announced after punching a ticket with his GripPhone. A golden glow appeared over Ken and transformed Ken into the Navy and Gold Magiranger known as Magishine. Ken took the Magilamp Buster in hand.

Mariko transformed into Shinkenpink. She held her Shinkenmaru at the ready.

The rangers attacked the monsters then jumped to the top of the cliff together. "Time to get this over with." Rayo said. "I've been stuck here long enough, we're going to eliminate every last one of you all!"

Rayo began roll call. "The burning flame element, red magician, Magired!"

"Shinkenred," Takuya continued, "Shiba Takuya."

"The same pink!" Mariko announced. "Shiba Mariko!"

"Attacking the wicked evil," Sakura clenched her fist, "Smashing the darkness of fear, Detective of the Daybreak! Dekabreak!"

"Diligence by day, refining my heart." Reiko punched the air a few times, "Honest Heart, Gekiyellow!"

Ein made arm movements with his clawed gloves to his face. "Sparkling wolf, Gaosilver!" Ein smashed the ground and finished in a wolf stance.

Jin had his back turned, "Azure Thunderclap, Fanged Ninja," Jin turned around, "KuwagaRaiger!"

Ken flapped his cape, "The Shining Solar Element, Heavenly Hero, Magishine." Ken said intelligently.

"Striking down with Lightning." Takuya said.

"The Shining Phoenixz Radiates through darkness." Rayo continued.

"Our spirits will never give, so long as there is a will to fight." Takuya announced.

"We are," Rayo said . . .

"SUPER SENTAI!" All eight rangers announced, with their powers giving off colorful explosions, which propelled them forward towards the monster.

Sakura and Reiko faced off against the Dora Monster. The Dora Monster swung its sword at the two girls but the two girls dodged by back flipping away. Then both jumped at the monster.

"Super Lightning Fist!" Sakura announced revving her Throttle Brace.

"Gekiwaza, Da Da Dan!" Reiko announced. Both girls started rapid firing their fists, then both bashed the Dora Monster back with one powerful fist.

Mariko jumped in the air and jumped off of the two girls' shoulders. Mariko spun in the air. "Tenku No Mai, Heaven's Charge!" Mariko spun in the air with her sword throwing pink sonic booms at the Dora Monster. Mariko came down smashing the monster with her Shinkenmaru. The Dora Monster exploded.

Ken unloaded his Magilamp Buster on the Faucet Banki. The Faucet Banki turned its Faucet then tried to flood Ken. Ken stood calmly.

Jin ran in front of Ken. "Ikazuchimaru, Ring Formation!" Jin shouted and changed his Ikazuchimaru into a ring weapon with a blue barrier. Jin took the flood into the ring, then fired the flood back into the Bankijyu. Jin then stabbed the wet ground with his Ikazuchimaru. "Ninpo, Thunderbolt!" A lightning bolt extended from the water and traveled across it. The Bankijyu got zapped by lightning from Jin's Ikazuchimaru.

Ken fired arching lasers at the Bankijyu. "Let's continue." Ken said and kept firing until the lasers started creating a Cyclone Effect which blew the Bankijyu into the air.

Ein jumped over Ken and Jin and slashed the Bankijyu with his Gao Hustler Rod. Ein kept slashing and kicked the Bankijyu back. He changed his sword into a rod mode and threw three gems into the air. These gems were silver, green, and purple. "Evil Crushing Saint Beast Orbs!" Ein announced and pushed the silver gem like a billiard ball which pushed the other gems around in a billiard formation, bashing the Bankijyu into oblivion.

Takuya and Rayo fought the Gedoshu. Takuya and Rayo slashed the Gedoshu with their respective swords. Takuya then took out the lightning disk and used it on his Shinkenmaru. "You ready kid?"

"The name is Rayo and I'm not that young." Rayo said. "And sure, let's get going." Rayo's sword was ablaze.

They both swung their swords. "REH!" They fired off the same attack that Takuya and Ryan did together at the Gedoshu. The Gedoshu was blown back, but survived.

"Still sticking around I see." Rayo said walking forward, only to get bashed by Yami.

Yami slashed at Takuya but Takuya transformed his Shinkenmaru into the Rekka Daizanto to block Yami's attack. "Oh how nice, don't you just love how familiar this scene is Takuya?" Yami asked.

Takuya gasped. "How do you know my name?"

"Onii-sama, leave that monster alone, that's the monster who killed Tou-chan!" Mariko shouted.

Takuya gasped. "You . . ."

"Oh no, Takuya no!" Rayo shouted.

"YOU KILLED MY FATHER!" Takuya screamed and pushed the sword of Yami away. Takuya tried to cut Yami but Yami struck back and slashed Takuya.

"TAKUYA!" Reiko and Jin shouted only to get stopped by grunts. Grunts came out of nowhere leaving the other rangers busy.

Takuya ran violently at Yami and kept swinging the Rekka Daizanto at Yami, but Yami slashed the enraged Takuya.

"Takuya calm down!" Rayo shouted. "Your sister told you that to get you to not fight that thing!" Rayo sliced a Zobil in half.

"Indeed Tono-sama." Ken said shooting a Nanashi behind him. "If you continue to fight, then you will die."

"ONII-SAMA!" Mariko screamed.

Takuya was thrown back, and he tried getting up. "Give it up." Yami said walking forward. "You were almost killed by me the last time and you know what, Daddy's not coming to save you this time."

Takuya let out a gasp, then he glared at Yami. Takuya took out the red disk that he took from his home and as it turned out, it was the disk that Araki used to transform into Hyper Shinkenred. Takuya spun the disk on his Shinkenmaru, transforming into Hyper Shinkenred. "I'll make sure I kill you!" Takuya swung the Kyoryumaru around, and the sword whip cut Yami.

Yami parried a few of the slashes, but Takuya was slashing really fast in a fit of rage, that Yami couldn't help but get hit. The Elephant Gedoshu was killed by a stray swing, and exploded before it even had the chance to actually die. The Kyoryumaru extended long enough to kill off all the grunts in the area, but at the same time, nearly struck the other rangers.

"Onii-sama!" Mariko shouted. Yami was able to catch one swing and threw the blade towards Mariko, cutting her. Mariko screamed upon getting hit.

Takuya stopped in his tracks, "Mariko!" Takuya gasped. Yami dashed forward with his sword ready for an overhead swing that would cut Takuya in two.

Rayo grunted in pain and got a vision of Takuya getting cut by Yami. "Damn it no!" Rayo dashed forward and blocked Yami's swing.

"WHAT!" Yami shouted.

"Takuya, get your thoughts straighten out and help me take this guy out!" Rayo shouted.

"Rayo, don't do that!" Sakura shouted as Rayo's sword was way to small to be using to block Yami's sword.

"Nee-san, I need to do this!" Rayo shouted.

"Then take this!" Ein threw the Gao Hustler Rod to Rayo and Rayo used the rod to parry Yami's sword better.

"Thanks!" Rayo shouted. Rayo grunted and was able to push Yami back. "I know you're mad, I would be too if I knew this guy killed my father." Rayo turned to Takuya. "But, we're not strong enough to fight this guy. This monster took out your father even though your father was at his strongest. Do you think you'll be able to take this thing out with the same form your father couldn't?"

Takuya grunted, "you . . . you're right."

"Besides, what will you do if you're gone. You're Mariko's brother aren't you? What will she think if you're dead?"

Takuya grunted again, "you . . . you're right." Takuya looked at Yami again. "Hey Rayo, get away now!"

"ROGER!" Rayo rolled away from Yami and Yami struck the ground.

"Kyoryumaru," Takuya said. "Hyper Kaen no Mai!" Takuya swung the Kyoryumaru around, shooting round flaming sonic booms at Yami.

"WARGH!" Yami screamed as he was burned by the attacks.

Takuya reverted back to Shinkenred and threw the Kyoryu disk into Mariko's Shinkenmaru. "Hey Mariko, there's that Souvenir I promised you." Takuya said. "Make use of it."

"Ok then Onii-sama!" Mariko shouted. She spun the disk and she gained the regalia of Hyper Shinkenred and the Kyoryumaru. "Hyper Shinkenpink, going forth!" She spun the Kyoryumaru around whip cutting Yami. "Kyoryumaru, Hyper Tenku no Mai!" She swung one huge horizontal swing that was bursting with wind power and sliced Yami.

Afterwards, Reiko and Sakura jumped in the air. "Take this!" Sakura shouted.

"CHEETAH LIGHT!" Sakura and Reiko shouted. They used shining kicks on Yami.

Jin and Ein jumped in the air, Jin slashed Yami with a lightning cut. "Ninpo." Jin said.

Ein came over and clawed Yami, spreading the lightning. "THUNDER CLAW!" Jin and Ein shouted.

Ken charged his Magilamp Buster. "Smokey, you ready?"

"READY!" Smokey shouted peeking out.

"Memory Break." Ken whispered to himself. "SMOKEY SHINING ATTACK!" Smokey fired out of the lamp ablaze. Smokey bashed through Yami.

Rayo jumped in the air, "Fatal Blade!" Rayo shouted then slashed with both his Magistick sword and Ein's Gao Hustler Rod, ablaze. Rayo slashed Yami back, then stabbed Yami, and Yami was still alive.

Ken pushed his visor as if pushing up reading glasses. "I was right, with our current strength, no matter how many attacks we throw at him, he'll still survive."

Yami cackled maniacally. "Oh you guys are so full of it." Yami said. "You won't be able to win. Takuya, I'll kill you and your sister one day, and Rayo . . . you'll hand over that Red Soul one day."

"I don't know what you're talking about and I don't even want to know!" Rayo shouted, but then Yami disappeared and the Gedoshu appeared grown.

"Careful, the Gedoshu has a second life as a giant." Takuya said.

"I know." Rayo said. He then dialed 107 on his phone. "I'll take this, every one stand back." He pointed his phone to the sky. "Magi Magi Magika!" A magic circle appeared over Rayo and Rayo transformed into a short humanoid mecha. "Magi Phoenix!"

"Well, looks like you guys have this under control." Ken said. "I think I'll take my leave now." He said walking away, only for a train with the color scheme of Magishine to appear to cover Ken's body, and Ken was gone.

Rayo dashed at the Gedoshu and slashed the Gedoshu with his sword. Rayo kicked the Gedoshu and then kicked off from the Gedoshu into the air. "Blazing Cut!" Rayo announced and tried a fiery slash from his sword.

The Gedoshu blocked Rayo's slash, then threw Rayo away. Rayo got up only for the Gedoshu to shoot gunk at Rayo, wrapping Rayo up. "DAMN IT!" Rayo shouted and sliced the wrappings away. "I am not falling for that one again!" Rayo shouted, only for the Gedoshu to display a new dark orb attack from its trunk, hitting Rayo away.

"All right then, I'll help him out." Ein said taking out the three gems that he used for his finisher. Then he remembered about something, "hey Sakura, where did my Hustler Rod go?"

"I think Rayo took it with him when he transformed into Magi Phoenix." Sakura replied.

Ein dropped his gems in shock. "OH MY GOD! I can't believe I can't help out because he hasn't returned my weapon back!"

"Hey shouldn't you have access to a mecha to help Rayo?" Mariko asked Sakura. The Hyper robe disappeared from Mariko and the Kyoryumaru reverted back into a Shinkenmaru.

"Yes, the Dekabreak system should have access to the Dekabike Robo." Jin said.

"Well . . ." Sakura paused.

"Don't tell me they're repairing it?" Jin asked sarcastically.

"Actually they haven't reconstructed the Dekabike Robo yet." Sakura replied. "So that mech is still being built now."

"That's . . . unusual." Jin said.

"Man, we need to help Rayo!" Mariko shouted.

"What can we do, I don't think we have anything that can help." Takuya replied, then his shoulder was tapped by Reiko. "Hm?"

"Um . . . Takuya-san . . . don't you have the ability to summon the Kabuto, Kajiki, and Tora Origamis?" Reiko asked.

"Yes?" Takuya said. "What about it?"

"And don't they have the ability to combine into another mech?" Reiko asked again.

Takuya was about to answer no but then remembered that those three mechs could, "oh." Takuya said and there was a long period of silence. "Why didn't I think of that?"

"And we could've helped Ryan in that battle a few days ago!" Mariko exclaimed.

"Hm, I forgot about that." Takuya said nodding. He then opened up his belt buckle to take out the Kabuto Disk. He threw the disk to Mariko. "Hey help me out."

"With pleasure." Mariko said.

Takuya took the Kajiki Disk in hand and spun the disk just as Mariko spun the Kabuto disk. "Kajiki Origami!"

"Kabuto Origami!"

Takuya took out the Kajiki Disk then spun the Tora Disk, "TORA ORIGAMI!" Both Takuya and Mariko shouted.

"Samurai Gattai!" Takuya announced as the three mechs appeared together. "Daitenku!"

The Origamis roared into life. A piece of Kabuto's leg detached and attached to Kajiki. Tora's head detached and attached elsewhere while a piece from Kabuto attacked onto Tora to create a bird head in which Tora's ring attached to the head. Kabuto and Kajiki combined to make wings.

Mariko and Takuya appeared in the cockpit of Daitenku and inserted their Shinkenmarus into two of the three control ports. "Daitenku, United Under Providence!" Mariko and Takuya announced.

Rayo looked up and saw the flying bird mech. "All right!" Rayo pumped his fist. "It's no Dragon but it'll do!" Rayo jumped high into the air and slowly descended onto the back of Daitenku.

The third control port of Daitenku disappeared and was replaced with Rayo inside a chess control port. "Rayo!" Mariko exclaimed.

"Let's get this show started!" Rayo said with his pinky and index fingers out.

"Daitenku Riding Magi Phoenix, descend!" The three rangers shouted.

The Gedoshu fired gunk at the mechs. Daitenku maneuvered around the gunk while Magi Phoenix slashed at the incoming gunk. Daitenku fired lasers at the Gedoshu while it flew forward to the Gedoshu. Magi Phoenix sliced the Gedoshu and slashed the trunk of the Gedoshu off. The Gedoshu let out a cry of pain, then charged fireballs in its hand and threw them at the flying mech.

"WHOA!" Rayo shouted. "That's new."

Daitenku flew high into the sky. "Let's finish this!" Mariko shouted.

"Mojikara Climax!" Rayo and Takuya announced.

"Daitenku Phoenix Burst!" The three rangers announced.

The ring of Daitenku charged a red beam. Magi Phoenix stabbed his blazing sword into the ring and the ring fired a three prong flaming attack. The flames blazed through the Gedoshu. Daitenku flew closer and Magi Phoenix slashed the Gedoshu once more with the Daitenku ramming it as well.

The Gedoshu let out a scream before it exploded.

Magi Phoenix swung its sword around and made a sheathing motion. "Checkmate." Rayo said.

Takuya and Mariko took their Shinkenmarus and sheathed them. "With this, ends another chapter." Takuya said to end.

...

As they were walking back to the academy, Sakura nudged Rayo, "Hey bro, do you like that girl over there?" Sakura asked.

"EH!" Rayo shouted. "W-w-why would you ask that of all questions!"

"Because you seem to like that girl a lot." Ein said.

"WHAT!" Rayo blushed.

"It's written all over your face." Sakura said rubbing Rayo's cheek.

"I'm not, I don't . . . I mean . . . I don't like . . . WILL THE TWO OF YOU JUST BE QUIET!" Rayo shouted with his back turned to Mariko. Sakura and Ein were laughing.

Mariko ran up to Rayo and jumped on his back. "Hey Rayo, can you come to my room later?"

Rayo's mouth dropped, with Sakura and Ein looking in surprise. "W-w-why?" Rayo asked.

"I'd like you to meet Daiki and Ryan, I mean I met your team so I think it would be nice if you met them too." Mariko said.

"Why just me?" Rayo asked.

"Because I like you." Mariko said smiling. Rayo blushed profusely.

"Don't think too much of that." Takuya said coming up. "She likes a lot of people, and she hugs them from behind all the time."

"LIKE RYAN AND DAIKI!" Mariko exclaimed.

Rayo paused, then let out a sigh of relief. "Phew."

"Hm, looks like they're not getting far." Sakura said.

"They do seem to have some chemistry together." Reiko said to Sakura.

"Even though they just met." Ein continued.

"Who knows, maybe one day they'll get together." Reiko said.

"And maybe one day you and that young Lord over there will be an item too." Sakura teased.

"Hm?" Takuya turned to see Reiko blushing red.

"Um . . . that's . . . we're not like that!" Reiko shouted.

At that moment, Jin was asking Mariko, "hey Mariko-chan, what about me, don't you like me?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot about you Jin." Mariko said.

Jin paused for a bit then let out a cry. "Why me." Because Mariko forgot all about him.

...

Mariko came back into her room to see little Yuuji playing around on Ryan's futon. "OH HOW CUTE!" Mariko squealed and ran up to little Yuuji. Ryan was inside the room standing around. "Is he yours Ryan!" Mariko picked little Yuuji up and little Yuuji squealed in delight.

"My sister's kid, but he's my kid now since I adopted him." Ryan replied while he was massaging his shoulder.

"Oh so cute, so cute, so cute." Mariko squealed rubbing her nose on Yuuji's nose.

"So this is your room." Rayo said coming in along with Takuya, Jin, and Reiko.

"Hey can they all fit in here?" Daiki asked as Reiko squealed upon seeing little Yuuji. Mariko was playing around with Yuuji, making Yuuji stand and jump.

Takuya looked at Yuuji then Ryan. "You know with your looks, it seems strange to have a kid right?" Takuya asked.

"Yes, I get that too much." Ryan said holding his arm. "At least he's not really mine, but he's still my nephew either way."

"This little guy's pretty cute." Rayo said coming up to Yuuji. Yuuji shirked away from Rayo. Rayo chuckled. "I guess he doesn't like me."

"Yeah, he doesn't really take kindly to men." Ryan said wincing. "Daiki seems to be an exception." Daiki was blushing and looking away.

Mariko picked Yuuji up again. "Onii-sama, can I take this baby back home with me?"

"Oh NO WAY!" Ryan exclaimed. "My baby!" He said taking Yuuji in his arms, while Ryan winced. Ryan noticed that Yuuji still wanted to play with Mariko so Ryan handed Yuuji back to Mariko. Ryan then walked away.

"So anyway Rayo, this is Ryan." Mariko said to Rayo.

"Nice to meet you." Rayo said sticking a hand out. Ryan however didn't take Rayo's hand. Ryan also had one eye closed.

"Whose this Mariko, your boyfriend?" Ryan asked.

Mariko and Rayo blushed, "HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" Mariko shouted.

"Oh good, then that means that I still have a chance." Ryan said.

"Anyway Rayo, this person here whose looking away and blushing is Daiki." Mariko said.

"Dai, Dai, Dai." Yuuji cooed.

"Nice to meet you." Rayo said. He and Daiki shook hands.

"Likewise, make sure you take care of Mariko you hear?" Daiki said.

"I told you we're not a couple!" Mariko shouted.

Takuya smiled. "I wouldn't exactly mind if they did become a couple though." Takuya said to himself. Then he looked at Ryan.

Ryan slowly fell into bed . . . . . .

...OMAKE! ...

Daiki and Baby . . .

After reaching the academy, little Yuuji seemed to want to go to the park to play. "You want to go?" Daiki asked Yuuji.

Yuuji let out a laugh as if saying yes.

"Let's go then." Daiki said.

After walking for a bit, Daiki sat down on a bench. "Man, it's hard carrying around a baby without a stroller." Daiki said as Yuuji played around with Daiki's Aura Changer key, taking it out and putting it back in.

"Mama." Yuuji said as he played with the Aura Changer.

"Hm?" Daiki said. "Mama?" Daiki looked at Yuuji playing with the key. "Did . . . your mama have one of these?" Daiki didn't get an answer because well, Yuuji's a baby. "Right . . ."

Yuuji looked at Daiki, "Dai, Dai, Dai!" Yuuji cooed.

"It's not 'Dai, Dai, Dai', its Dai, Dai, Daiki . . ." Daiki shook his head, "I mean Daiki!"

"AW HOW CUTE!" Various woman shouted and a few of them rushed towards Daiki and little Yuuji.

"Whoa." Daiki said.

"Is he yours!" One woman asked.

"This little guy is so cute!" Another woman asked.

Little Yuuji squealed in delight while Daiki just stared in astonishment as the woman somehow thought Daiki was a hot single dad with a baby in hand.

After the woman were gone, Daiki looked at little Yuuji as they headed for home. "What is it about a baby and a single man, that it attracts many beautiful woman?" Daiki asked himself while looking at Yuuji. Yuuji just laughed and clapped.
