Currently, Nadir was watching the Shadowgers train and said," You're all doing great. "

" Wasn't the others supposed to be training with us too? ",Jamie said while hitting a dummy. Nadir was going to speak when suddenly, red, blue, pink and purple streaks of lightning zoomed pass her. These streaks went all over the training room, which made the Shadowgers stop what they were doing and watch.

The streaks then stayed in one place but continued moving incredibly fast until Paul B tumbled into the wall. Equinox then flew flew out and crashed into Paul B. The purple and blue streaks changed into Vicky and Deino, who were fighting. Deino blocked several punches then dodged one before punching at Vicky twice, only to have both blocked. Vicky evaded a punch then grabbed Deino by the collar and flipped him over, with him landing on his feet. Deino quickly stood up straight and caught a kick from Vicky then both tumbled backwards, wrestling all the while, before stopping with Vicky on top of Deino.

" I win. ",Vicky said with smile and while panting. Deino growled then said," Best two outta three. "

" Oh you're on dreadlocks. ",Vicky said while still smiling.

" Before you two try that, might I ask what you were doing?! ",Nadir said, slightly agitated. Vicky and Deino stood up and Deino said," We were doing as you said and training. As well as seeing how strong Vicky is. "

" She's very strong. ",Equinox said while pushing himself off of Paul B. Paul B coughed and said," And very good at fighting. "

Myra shook her head while saying," I taught you guys better than that. "

Myra walked over to her brothers and said," Paul, you need to start using that physique of yours to your advantage. E, you're smaller and faster than your brothers. Deino, you're strong and can act like an animal at times. "

Nadir gained a surprised look then said," You seem to know about their strengths. "

" Of course she does. Myra taught us how to fight. ",Paul B said with a smile.

" Yeah, she teaches kickboxing and mixed martial arts. ",Deino said. Myra smiled and said," Hey, i only did that for you three. "

The Shadowgers and Vicky nodded then Vicky got a call on her phone, which was shaped like a crocodile head and was violet and gold, and answered it. She then gained a smile before hanging up and saying," Guys we gotta go to Zenith now. "

" Why? ",Paul B, Deino, and Equinox questioned.

" He says my volt is ready. ",Vicky said with excitement.

" Volt? ",The Shadowgers questioned.

" Our mechs. Mine is a hawk, D gotta wolf, and E gotta a shark. Now then bye. To see the newest volt! ",Paul B said before he and his team sped out of the Shadowgers base. Myra looked at where the four streaks of lightning left then said," I am so glad I have those three as brothers. "

" They are really nice, especially Equinox. ",Jamie said nervously.

" They're cool. ",Michelle said.

" I don't like Paul B. ",Casey bluntly said. Myra nodded at all the responses then the Shadowgers began training again.

(Music) Shots of each Rangers glares and changers lying together on the ground are seen as the song starts up. As the music picks up, the glares are seen together and flash to reveal the title card; Hikari Sentai Raidenger and Yami Sentai Shadowger.

(Nanimo nai nasakenai tte iu hi mo arun deshou) Deino walked down the sidewalk alone, but as he passed by a woman, who happened to be Michelle, he paused mid-step and spun around to start flirting with her.

(Jinsei ni ichideo no youna doryoku no shunkan o) Jamie tripped over her feet as she walked down the stairs, but was quickly caught by Equinox, who happened to be going down the stairs as well. Jamie gave quick and awkward thanks, to which Equinox nodded with a grin.

(Ikutsumo mukaechai sou nara mite itainda yo) Myra lifted weights in the gym, effortlessly doing so as Vicky walked up to the dumbbell rack. Vicky went to one size but eyed Myra and grew a cocky look, going to the size Myra had. Picking it up quickly resulted in her falling to the ground with her hand firmly gripped around the much to heavy weight. Myra looked towards the source of the noise but found no one.

("Isshou" ga ikko date "issho ni" o ikura demo) Zenith leaned against his cane as he stood alone inside the all white room. He gave a nod to the screen before it changed to Nadir in the control room, typing something into a computer. She turned to the screen briefly then did a double-take, not expecting it to have been there and giving an awkward wave in response.

(Nanni mo nai atashi ni imi o kureta saikyou da) A figure surrounded by mist and lightning stood across from the Raidengers in their humans forms. Their reflections in the mirrored ground showed the Shadowgers in their human forms in the Raidengers place and a collection of shadows in the place of the figure. The Rangers held up their glares as it switched to the Shadowgers being the ones standing and the Raidengers being the reflection. It began switching between the two as they started to transform before finishing with the two teams standing side by side as their transformations completed.

(Furee tte furee tte nando mo iwaseru nante iu sainou?) RedShadow slashed at a Demonio De Luz, knocking it back. She struck at it again then jumped forward. However, mid-jump, she suddenly morphed into Takaraiden, who performed a move similar to a forward roll before sitting up and shooting an Akuryo in the head with an arrow.

(Zutto tachimukatte yo yuki o kureteru yo) Okamiraiden slammed his gauntlet into the face of an Akuryo then backhanded it across the cheek. He brought his wrist back as he suddenly morphed into YellowShadow, who spun her tonfa around as she jumped at a Demonio De Luz to begin striking at it.

(Furee tte furee tte chippoke subete ga sakenderu) GreenShadow shot at a Demonio De Luz repeatedly, only to quickly jump out of the way when it fired back at her. She changed into Sameraiden, who was spinning out of the way of a shot from a Akuryo then firing back at it when he cleared the attack.

(Sono me o mitereba atashi mo hashireru) Waniraiden jumped at a Akuryo to tackle it, taking it to the ground. She straddled its stomach and punched it across the face as she changed into MagentaShadow and the Akuryo morphed into a Demonio De Luz, who received the punches to the face that MagentaShadow was throwing.

(Saikou no finale o kizande mite yo) The personal machines of the Raidengers and Shadowgers were seen moving together through a corridor of lightning and shadows before combining into Lightning King and Shadowjin, which posed together.

(Music) The eight main characters are seen standing back to back with the opposite member of the other team, each pair shown one after the other in a split-screen effect.

(Datte Atashi No Hero!) The two teams stood together and performed their respective team pose as their respective mecha posed behind them as well as the music ended.

At the white room, the Raidengers ran into the hangar and saw a purple and gold crocodile volt which was bigger than the other three. Vicky squealed and said," That's mine! It looks so cool! "

" Hey why is mine so small now? ",Deino asked. Zenith looked at the wolf volt then said," I can't have two big volts besides yours isn't small. Paul's is the smallest. "

Paul B looked Zenith then he looked at Equinox, who was snickering, and said," Quit thinking like that ya knucklehead. "

An alarm went off and Zenith said," An Akuryo is attacking at a mall. Go. "

The four used their speed and zipped out of the base while saying," Raiden change. "

At the mall, A prey mantis akuryo slashed many people with its armblades then it was shot in the back by Takaraiden and Sameraiden. Okamiraiden and Waniraiden jumped over their comrades and punched the akuryo in the face. The mantis akuryo stumbled back then looked at the four Raidengers.

" Huh, a mantis. This should be cool. ",Sameraiden said.

" Not just cool, easy. Ya know because you guys got me. ",Waniraiden said arrogantly. Takaraiden and Okamiraiden chuckled then Takaraiden said," Hey V, we shouldn't underestimate this thing. I mean it could be stronger than D or you. "

Waniraiden scoffed then she charged at the akuryo and punched it in the face. She then blocked a slash before kicking the mantis akuryo in the chest. She then summoned her sword and slashed it twice.

The three male Raidengers watched Waniraiden fight and Takaraiden said," Huh, she's good. I mean she's just charging in but still good. "

The three male Raidengers then charged into the battle and kicked the akuryo back. Waniraiden slashed the akuryo twice then it was punched by Okamiraiden before being shot by Sameraiden. Takaraiden jumped over his brothers and shot the mantis akuryo several times.

The mantis akuryo stumbled back then sharpened its arm blades before it began making a clicking sound. The Raidengers were confused by this action then a bigger mantis akuryo appeared behind them and slashed them in the back. The second mantis akuryo slashed Takaraiden and Sameraiden several times then was hit in the chest by Okamiraiden.

Waniraiden slashed at the first mantis akuryo then was slashed three times in the back. Sameraiden shot at both mantis akuryo then was slashed by both.

Takaraiden and Okamiraiden blocked several slashes then they dodged two slashes. Takaraiden slashed one of the mantis akuryo then Okamiraiden punched the same one.

The two mantis akuryo stood in front of the Raidengers then they disappeared from where they stood. The Raidengers fell to the ground and Sameraiden said," I've never been so glad to have something stop. "

Waniraiden only punched the ground and grunted in frustration. Okamiraiden noticed this and turned his head to Waniraiden.

At the Raidengers base, Zenith nodded and said," Two akuryo at the same time, that is perplexing? "

" How is that, whatever word you just used. ",Paul B asked.

" Perplexing means weird or odd and it is that because usually Akuryo appear one at a time and they're never of the same kind. ",Zenith said. Paul B nodded then he looked at Equinox and said," E, don't you know a lot about bugs? "

Equinox then said," Yeah. Since one was bigger than the other then they were probably husband and wife. "

Zenith gained a surprised look then Paul B said," We're smart when we know what you're talking about. "

Zenith nodded then he looked around and saw that Deino and Vicky were not there. Equinox saw Zenith's expression and said," Yeah Vicky left after the battle and Deino chased after her. "

Zenith nodded then said," I need to pay attention to you kids more often. " as he walked towards a kitchen.

Out in the city, Deino walked up to a shore line and saw Vicky tossing rocks into the lake. He walked up to her then said," Hey Vicky, what are you doing here? "

Vicky only glanced at Deino before continuing to throw rocks. Deino sighed then said," I saw that you got a bit peeved after the fight today. Wanna talk about it? "

" No. I wanna forget it and move on. ",Vicky said with some sadness in her voice. Deino sighed then he said," I guess that you don't like losing all that much. "

" You'd be right. I'm not supposed to lose, I mean I'm the strongest yet I got taken out by two bugs. ",Vicky said, with some anger in her voice. Deino nodded then he said," Well if we're gonna be honest, you're not the strongest. "

Vicky scoffed then said," Yes I am. "

" No you're not, I am. ",Deino said with confidence. Vicky turned to Deino and with a smirk said," Nice try dreadlocks but it won't work. "

" What? Me telling you the truth of my being stronger? ",Deino said with a smirk. Vicky gritted her teeth then said," I'm stronger. "

Deino shook his head then he dodged a punch from Vicky. Vicky through several more punches at Deino, who blocked them all. Deino was hit by one punch but took this opportunity to flip Vicky onto her back. Vicky growled then she and Deino began to wrestling with one another at super speeds until Vicky pinned Deino to the ground and said," I'm stronger. "

Deino smirked then said," Then you should probably act like it. The strongest person shouldn't get sad because they lose to some bugs. "

Vicky's expression softened then she sat back on Deino's lap and he sat up on his hands. Vicky pushed some hair out of her face then said," I'm guessing you did all that to pep me up. "

Deino nodded then Vicky blushed and said," Just saying it works too dreadlocks. "

" Maybe but then I wouldn't have you straddling me right now. ",Deino said gesturing to how the two were sitting. Vicky giggled then said," Eh, I was gonna end up like this with you soon enough anyway. "

" You were? ",Deino questioned.

" Yeah. ",Vicky said before she stood up. Deino followed suit then the two hugged one another. Suddenly, Takaraiden and Sameraiden appeared beside Vicky and Deino with Sameraiden saying," The mantis are back. Come now. "

Deino and Vicky nodded then they revealed their phones and pressed the buttons on top making the phones announce," OKAMI, WANI! "

" Raiden change. ",Deino and Vicky said as they closed their phones and put them in the air. Blue and violet lightning bolts came down and struck the two while the phones announced," RAIDENGER SANJOU. "

In a shopping center, both mantis akuryo were destroying a jewellery store. The smallest mantis akuryo bent down and examined some of the necklaces then made a clicking sound. The bigger one nodded then both walked out of the store to see The Raidengers standing side by side.

" The winged bolt, Takaraiden. ",Takaraiden said.

" The fanged bolt, Okamiraiden. ",Okamiraiden.

" The finned bolt, Sameraiden. "Sameraiden said.

" The scaled bolt, Waniraiden. ",Waniraiden said.

" Four homies that will shine light through the darkness. ",Takaraiden said.

" Hikari Sentai, Raidenger. ",The Raidengers said in unison.

The two mantis akuryo looked at one another with confusion then they sharpened their arm blades.

" STORM BOW, HURRICANE KNUCKLE, TSUNAMI BLASTER, TORNADO SWORD! ",The phones announced as the Raidengers summoned their weapons.

Waniraiden cracked her neck then said," Let's squash these bugs. "

The Raidengers charged at the mantis akuryo.

Takaraiden slashed at the smaller mantis akuryo, which blocked three of the slashes. Sameraiden shot at the smaller mantis akuryo then blocked several slashes before bashing it in the head with his gun.

Waniraiden and Okamiraiden blocked slashes from the big mantis akuryo then they dodged some more. The mantis akuryo switched targets and they both slashed the Raidengers across their chest. The Raidengers were pushed back to back and Okamiraiden said," How the hell do we beat these things? "

" I don't know. It's like they're able to plan a way to counter us. ",Sameraiden said. Waniraiden heard this then thought about how the mantis akuryo have always been making clicking sounds at one another. She smirked under her helmet then said," I got this. "

Takaraiden, Okamiraiden, and Sameraiden looked at Waniraiden as she charged at the biggest mantis akuryo. Waniraiden dodged several attacks then she slashed at the mantis akuryo wildly, missing each time. The biggest mantis akuryo made a clicking noise then smashed it's foot into Waniraiden's chest. The smaller mantis akuryo jumped over the three male Raidengers and raised one of its arm blades to slash Waniraiden from above.

" Vicky. ",Okamiraiden said with worry as he charged in to protect Waniraiden. Waniraiden quickly spun around while saying," Gotcha you son of a bitch! " and swiftly swinging her sword, cutting the smaller mantis akuryo in half.

The bigger mantis akuryo screeched in pain and grabbed its side in pain. The three male Raidengers stared at Waniraiden in surprise then she said," I noticed that they continuously made that clicking sound at one another while fighting us and always fought fairly close to one another. So I just deduced that if one died the other would feel the same pain or something like that. "

The three male Raidengers nodded then Sameraiden said," Oh, didn't think they'd be that close when married. "

" About that, there's no way those two are married. ",Waniraiden said while nearing her teammates. Takaraiden looked at Waniraiden and said," How? "

" Mantis females eat the heads of their husbands. ",Waniraiden said. The male Raidengers nodded in unison while saying," Oh, that makes sense. "

Waniraiden nodded then she turned around to the remaining mantis akuryo, that screeched at them.

Takaraiden, Okamiraiden and Sameraiden readied themselves but Waniraiden got in front of them and said," Hold on guys. I wanna beat this one all by myself. " before she charged at the mantis akuryo.

{Insert theme: Alone by My First Story}

Waniraiden ducked a slash then blocked another before kicking the mantis akuryo in the stomach. She then slashed the mantis akuryo twice before jumping up and punching it in the face. The mantis stumbled back then looked back at Waniraiden before gathering violet energy on its arm blades and slashing many energy shockwaves at her.

Waniraiden charged at the akuryo, dodging and slashing the shockwaves that came towards her in the process. Once close, she smashed the hilt of her sword into the akuryo's face then followed up with a knee to it's chin. The mantis akuryo tried to attack Waniraiden but the violet Raidenger grabbed its arm blade and broke it off. The mantis akuryo screeched in pain then was kicked so hard in the side that it crashed into a pillar.

Waniraiden chuckled then she pulled a trigger on her sword, which made violet energy gather on her blade. The mantis akuryo stood up and Waniraiden slashed a violet shockwave at the akuryo with her sword announce," LIGHTNING BREAK! "

The mantis akuryo, and the pillar behind it, were sliced in half and the mantis akuryo exploded. Waniraiden spun on her heel and walked towards her friends while saying," That was easy. "

{Theme end.}

Takaraiden, Okamiraiden, and Sameraiden only stared at Waniraiden as she approached them while saying," Guys. I know I'm amazing but you don't need to stare. "

" H-h-how? ",Takaraiden stuttered.

" W-w-with the. By your. ",Sameraiden stuttered. Waniraiden chuckled then she looked at Okamiraiden and said," Got nothing to say dreadhead? "

" Not really. Well except that this doesn't prove that you're stronger than me. ",Okamiraiden said while crossing his arms over his chest. Waniraiden walked up to Okamiraiden and said," Oh it doesn't? "

" Yeah it doesn't. ",Okamiraiden said. Sameraiden chimed into the conversation while Takaraiden was in a continued state of astonishment.

" SHADOW SAISEI! ",The Raidengers heard from behind them. The team then looked back as a giant mantis akuryo, that now had fours arms, appeared and broke through the roof of the mall. The Raidengers use their super speed to race outside as Takaraiden said," Zenith, need volts fast! "

" I'm already ahead of you. ",Zenith said from the phone.

The Hawk, Wolf, Shark and Crocodile volts ran towards the giant mantis with all four Raidengers jumping in their respective volts.

" Whoa, this is so cool! ",Waniraiden exclaimed from her cockpit. The crocodile volt roared, or make the noise that crocodiles make, as it charged at the mantis akuryo. Once it was close it chomped down on the akuryo's ankle. The akuryo screeched in pain then slashed the Crocodile volt a few times to get it off. The Wolf volt jumped up and slashed the mantis akuryo across the chest before it was swatted away. The mantis akuryo then kicked the Crocodile volt away.

The crocodile volt tumbled to it's feet then it roared and Waniraiden said," Okay, now you've made me mad. No one damages my new toy. "

" Raiden gattai. ",Takaraiden, Okamiraiden, and Sameraiden exclaimed.

" Raiden gattai? ",Waniraiden questioned.

The Shark and Wolf volts flew alongside one another. The Wolf volts front and hind legs folded in on each other before the body extended and the tail detached from the body, forming a left arm. The Shark volt had its fins fold into its belly and the front of the body extended with the tail detaching, forming a right arm.

The Crocodile volt's hind legs extended and straightened out as it's feet folded down. The front legs straightened then collapsed into the body. The tail detached and straightened out. The Crocodile opened it's mouth then the jaws split apart and spun around before folding down on both side, upper jaw on the right and lower jaw on the left. This formed a body, legs and shoulder pads.

The Hawk Volt changed into the head of Lightning King then all four Volts combined into Lightning King.

Lightning King now stood, with Takaraiden, Okamiraiden and Sameraiden saying," Kanzen, Lightning King! "

Waniraiden looked around, seeing the others, before saying," This is what it's like being in the robot. Neat. Also you couldn't come up with a cooler name than lightning king? "

" Focus on that later, fight giant bug now. ",Takaraiden said. Waniraiden simulated rolling her eyes then she focused on the battle.

Lightning King readied itself as the Mantis akuryo charged at it. The mantis akuryo slashed at Lightning King but it was dodged and the robot punched the akuryo twice. Lightning King then kicked the mantis akuryo back before getting slashed several times. Lightning King stumbled a bit but quickly dodged a slash before punching the akuryo three times. It was then slashed in the side by both sets of the mantis akuryo's arms.

Lightning King stumbled into a building then Sameraiden said," We're getting nowhere with this. "

" Don't we have weapons or something in this thing?! ",Waniraiden said while slamming her hands on her console.

Suddenly, Lightning King revealed the tail of the crocodile volt and it was now a club of some sort. The Raidengers saw this then in unison they said," That can work. "

Lightning King then hit the mantis akuryo with the club before bashing it in the head. Lightning King blocked a slash then kicked the mantis akuryo in the stomach before hitting it over the head once more. The mantis akuryo stumbled a bit before it slashed Lightning King across the chest, making the giant robot fall onto a building.

The Raidengers held onto their seats then Takaraiden said," Okay, can one of us find a button for a finisher or something! "

The four began searching then they all saw buttons on their consoles that had all four of their animals on it and said in unison," Found it! " before slamming it down.

Red, blue, pink, and purple energy began gathering around the club then Lightning King readied itself as the mantis akuryo tried to stab it. Lightning King dodged then it hit the akuryo several times while the Raidengers shouted in unison," Lightning King, Storm Basher! "

Lightning King then hit the mantis akuryo into the air, just before it exploded. Lightning King then relaxed itself.

At the Raidengers base, Zenith smiled as the Raidengers appeared in the base. He clapped and said," Well done you four. That was some fine teamwork out there. "

" Is it really teamwork when Vicky did most of the work? ",Equinox said.

" It does when the reason she even did was because of a certain wolves encouragement. ",Zenith said. Paul B and Equinox looked at Deino and he said," Don't look at me like that. "

" You talked to Vicky without it getting sexual? That's funny. ",Paul B said while he and Equinox chuckled. Deino mocked his brothers then Vicky stood beside him and said," Don't pay attention to them dreadhead. They're just jealous that they can't get a date with a girl like me. "

Paul B, Deino, Equinox and Zenith turned their gaze to Vicky and said," Date? "

" Yeah, I considered when me and D talked a date. One of many I hope. ",Vicky said while rocking back and forth on her feet. Deino was speechless then he shook his before saying," Of course it's the first of a lot. Why not have another Saturday? " while failing to hide his surprise and apprehension. Vicky smiled then she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Deino on the cheek before saying," I'd like that. "

Deino began blushing then he heard Paul B and Equinox teasing him and he said," Shut up guys. " before he put Equinox in a headlock and began giving him a noogie and tried to grab Paul B, who backed away quickly. Vicky smirked then she said," Oh right. Uh guys. "

The three brothers looked at Vicky as she said," I kinda need a place to stay so you mind if I bunk with you? "

" Not at all. ",The three said instantly. Vicky nodded while saying," Good. I'll sleep in the room with dreadhead. "

Deino let go of Equinox, who fell to the ground with a thud, then said," Yes. " while fist pumping. Vicky smiled then she began chasing Paul B as Deino went back to noogieing Equinox.

Zenith smiled and chuckled then he looked at some small screens and noticed a rather pale japanese man with shoulder length wavy dark brown hair walking away as the mantis akuryo grew giant. This man wore a grey t shirt, black torn jeans, and rugged black boots. Zenith gained an astonished expression and he quietly said," Kei. " as he stared at the man on the screen.
