"TONO! EVERYONE!" Jii rushed out of the house to see the group injured.
"Jii...I'm alright...but Ryunosuke and Chiaki..." Takeru moved from Kenshin to alert Jii about the blue and green samurai who had both been carried in on gurneys.
"Takeru-san, I'm sorry about-" Kenshin hung his head low.
"Don't worry about it; what's important is that we get Chiaki and Ryunosuke into the house," he directed the kuroko to take the two into a separate room while the rest headed into the briefing room.
"Take-chan...that guy...he moved way too fast..." Genta winced as Yoh helped him inside.
"Will Ryu-san and Chiaki be okay?" Kotoha asked.
"Kotoha, of course they will," Mako reassured Kotoha by holding on to her arm.
"Yoh-dono! Nothing has come this way since..." Amidamaru phased through the wall to the six who were in the briefing room.
"That's good to kno-, Yeowch!" Genta jolted in pain as a kuroko applied some medicine to his wounds.
"With Chiaki and Ryunosuke out of commission, we need to be more careful. If any Ayakashi happen to show, Shinken-Oh cannot be summoned, so we need to rely on the Ushi Origami and you Genta," Takeru finish giving his friend a serious glare.
"Don't worry Take-chan, leave it to me!" Genta gave Takeru a thumbs-up.
"Tono-sama, we still have the Inromaru; would it be possible to use that?" Kotoha curiously asked, causing Mako and Genta to nod in agreement.
"For now...no; whose to say what that man is capable of if all he was doing was toying with us..." Takeru got up from his seat to look out the window, "...it also wouldn't help if we showed our cards too early or carelessly..."
"Kenshin, are you alright?" Mako noticed that Kenshin had grown deathly silent since they entered the room.
"Shishio...he...came...back..." he gritted his teeth and he clenched his fists.
"It seems that he has aligned himself with those creatures..." Amidamaru pointed out.
"That just means getting those orbs have to be our main priority..." Genta pondered.
"For now, everyone needs to get a good night's sleep...we can discuss this tomorrow..." after they nodded in agreement, Takeru got out of his seat and headed to his room.
"I-I'm going to check on Ryu-I mean the two of them..." Mako said, leaving the room.
"I need to go check something," Kotoha followed after her, but went in a different direction.
"Kenshin-san, was he that ruthless before?" Genta asked.
"No, he's much worse..." Kenshin said gripping his sakabatou.
"That just means we are going to have to prepare and get better..." Genta got up and turned to Kenshin, "Come on, I'll treat you to some sushi."
"Thank you Genta-san," Kenshin said before leaving the briefing room with him, leaving the only occupants Yoh and Amidamaru.
"Yoh-dono, you've been silent this whole time..." Amidamaru's face was filled with worry.
"I'm fine; it's just something feels wrong about this..." Yoh began to hold his chin.
"What's the issue?" Amidamaru asked.
"It was when he kicked me; I felt a familiar energy..." Yoh began to scratch his head in frustration, "...but it's impossible for a spirit to come back to a fleshy body and use furyoku!" The last part that Yoh said froze Amidamaru in his place.
"But he shouldn't even know what it is!" Amidamaru protested.
"I know...a kick like that would normally send me back a few feet; but the energy from his kick is what sent me into that table," Yoh got up and started to rub his temples.
"Maybe it's like what AkaRed-san said about the 'universal rift'; it did allow Kenshin-san to be able to use his sword techniques again," Amidamaru reminded Yoh about how his twin brother informed Kenshin that he could use Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu again.
"I guess it tip the scales for whoever; but there is something else wrong..." Yoh started to scratch his head again.
"What is it, Yoh-dono?" Amidamaru was concerned because Yoh getting flustered, without it involving Anna, were moments few and far in between.
"I saw a dark red spirit ball with six glowing yellow eyes as Shishio left back into the crack..." Yoh said with a chill in his voice.
"You don't think that Shishio can commune with it do you?" Amidamaru was now the worried one.
"Don't know; but come on, cheer up! Everything will work out!" Yoh gave Amidamaru his signature grin and catchphrase.
"Yoh-dono! You always seem to find the good in any situation!" Amidamaru began to bawl out of joy.
"Hehe...it's a good thing you're a spirit, otherwise we'd have to clean up..." Yoh chuckled as Amidamaru bawled even more.

[In the infirmary...]
"Chiaki...Chiaki! Wake up!" Ryunosuke nudged his still unconscious teammate and friend.
"Nggghhh...W-What...?" Chiaki began to faintly open his eyes.
"We're back at the mansion; we are in the infirmary..." Ryunosuke filled him in on what he was able to faintly hear when they both were knocked out.
"Did you see how fast that guy was? He-argh!" Chiaki grabbed his clavicle to see that blood seeped through the gauze.
"Don't overdo it...both of us may not be fighting for a while..." Ryunosuke warned him.
"Ryunosuke, to be honest, when that guy burst through the crack and I felt that wave of energy, I was confident we could take him until he appeared in front of me. Looking at his red eyes, filled with so much bloodlust, I thought I was about to die..." Ryunosuke noticed that as Chiaki said that, he was trembling, sweat dripping from his head and face evident with fear.
"Well, you're not, so consider yourself lucky; but to be honest I was too..." Ryunosuke tried to raise Chiaki's spirits, only to see that his hand was itself trembling.
[KNOCK] [KNOCK]
"Can I come in?" A voice said from the other side of the sliding door.
"Nee-san..." Chiaki said silently.
"I could come back another time..." Mako began to say.
"No, come in," Ryunosuke urged.
"Both of you are alright!" Mako beamed as she fully slid the door open.
"We're still kicking!" Chiaki gave a thumbs up before he let out a groan of pain, making a few kuroko rush in to replace the bloodied gauze.
"I leave for now...you two get some rest..." She said before leaving them to the kuroko.
"Wait! Mako-ahh!" Ryunosuke tried to call her but one of them applied pressure to one of the wounds.
"Maybe you should leave it alone for a minute; seeing you like this might be hurting her," Chiaki said as he lifted his arm so a kuroko could re-bandage it.
"Tch...maybe we should get back to sleep after they're done," Ryunosuke wanted to talk to her but Chiaki had a point.
After she left the two, she began to head to her room. Seeing Ryunosuke look like he did made her want to cry, but she wouldn't let herself. He was just fine almost a day ago when he came to pick her and Genta up from the airport. She then shook her head trying to get these thoughts out of her head.
"Please, keep it together, he'll be okay...right?" she thought before not watching where she was going, bumping into Kotoha.
"Ouch...that hurt..." Mako rubbed her arm before noticing Kotoha, "Oh Kotoha! I'm sorry!"
"It's alright, um...how are Chiaki and Ryu-san?" Kotoha got up and brushed herself off.
"Trying to act like a bunch of tough knuckleheads," Mako scoffed.
"That's good to hear..." Kotoha still felt a little down.
"Relax, before you know it, they will be causing a ruckus before you know it!" Mako reassured her, although she was almost about to doubt what she said.
"Okay, good night Mako!" She gave Mako a slight bow before continuing to head in the direction she was intending to before she bumped into her.
...
[Outside of the mansion at Genta's cart...]
"A mechanical lantern powered by your 'Electronic Mojikara', you are very impressive Genta-san!" Kenshin marveled at the sight of Daigoyou.
"Goyou de! It's nice to meet you!" the lantern said, his head shifting around.
"I wouldn't say it's that impressive..." Genta said as he was finishing preparing the sushi, "Here you go! On the house!"
"Question: What did Takeru-san mean by 'Ayakashi showing up', and 'Shinken-Oh and Ushi Origami'?" Kenshin was a little confused about what Takeru discussed earlier.
Genta wiped his hands off before turning around to Kenshin, "Oh, I can explain: you know the fish-head creatures we fought, those are just the normal foot-soldiers. Ayakashi are more powerful Gedoushu with different distinct abilities and powers that when they are defeated the first time, they revive and become giant-size, for their second life. When that happens Take-chan and the others have to use their origami to fight the Ayakashi as Shinken-Oh. Of course, I also have Ika-chan and Ebizou who can grow and fight them as well!" Genta directed Kenshin's eyes to the fish tank that held the said squid and lobster origami.
"Amazing~!" Kenshin said as the Ika Origami came out of the tank and started circling Kenshin.
"Goyou de! Boss! Don't forget that I can fight too!" Daigoyou popped off his holder and almost hit Genta in the head.
"Still, I must say, a burden this huge for you all to bear, especially being so young, isn't right..." Kenshin said, his face sullen.
"It's a lot harder on the other five than me; their families have been fighting the Gedoushu for nearly twenty generations..." Genta pointed out.
"Then why are you fighting, Genta-san?" Kenshin inquired.
"Because I made a promise to Take-chan when we were younger that when he became the Shiba clan head, I would fight alongside him as one of his vassals; being his friend, I wanted to help him, no matter how difficult or dangerous it was..." Genta looked up at the moon, reminiscing about past events.
"I admire the strength and courage you all have..." Kenshin said before biting into one of the sushi, "...and this sushi is...delicious!"
Genta moved very quickly to grab Kenshin by the shoulders, "Really?! You think the sushi is delicious?! Normally, the others say it's plain, but are you sure?!"
"Oro! Yes, it's some of the best that I've ever tasted! How did you make this?" Kenshin was a bit surprised but still answered what Genta asked.
"I was going to make some for them later...as for how I made it, I will tell after the rest of them taste it," Genta's began to sport a huge grin.
...
[In the back of the Shiba mansion...]
"Saru, do you think that we will be able to help Kenshin-san and Yoh-san?" Kotoha asked as she pulled out a triangular emblem that had a yellow kanji for 'earth' and threw it to unfold into a monkey origami.
"*Squee*! *Squee*!" The origami squeaked at its owner.
"Maybe a song should calm our nerves..." she told her origami as she pulled out her flute from her pocket. She then began to play a soothing melody as the origami danced along to the music. Unknown to the two of them, they had gained an audience in the form of Yoh and Amidamaru. Yoh was back on the rooftop for another night of stargazing when he heard the flute playing. After she finished, she heard clapping but didn't know where it was coming from, "W-Who's there?"
"Relax, it's only me," Yoh called out as she looked up at the roof to see him waving at her.
"Ah, Yoh-san! What are you doing up there?" Kotoha asked as he jumped from off the roof.
"I was just looking at the stars; it a very nice place to do so. Then I heard the sound of a flute, and here I am!" Yoh had his signature grin.
"Kotoha-chan, your flute playing was magnificent!" Amidamaru exclaimed joyfully.
"T-Thank you Amidamaru-san," Kotoha was beginning to blush.
"Hey Amidamaru, look an animal spirit!" Yoh squatted as he looked at the origami run around.
"Saru, over here," Kotoha held out her hand and the origami jumped into it turning back to a triangular emblem.
"So, the Shinkengers have spirit partners too?" Amidamaru began to ponder.
"I wouldn't know about that; our origami were made hundreds of years ago to combat the Gedoushu," Kotoha explained as the emblem turned back into the origami.
"I sense a spirit inside there; the spirits of the animals that helped the original Shinkengers fight the Gedoushu may have their souls attached to these emblems so they can always aid you guys," Yoh said, now beginning to play with the Saru Origami.
"So that could be said about the others as well..." Kotoha referencing the other origami the Shinkengers had at their disposal.
"What's the reason for the flute playing?" Yoh asked.
"Oh, my sister taught me how to play originally but I have been currently taking music classes; I would like to be a musician," She said, looking at her flute.
"But what about being a Shinkenger? You're practically a superhero!" Yoh asked.
"Don't misunderstand; being a vassal for Tono-sama and fighting alongside the others to protect Earth is reward within itself. It's just seeing my friends have dreams and aspirations when we all first met gave me a resolve to look for my own way..." Kotoha said looking at the star-filled night sky.
"Well you're very good, and the tune you were playing reminds me of something that I listened to at one time..." Yoh responded.
"When you left home, did you leave anyone special behind?" Kotoha's question floored Yoh.
"W-Well, n-not exactly...m-maybe..." Kotoha noticed that as Yoh began to stammer, his face got red.
"Yoh-dono, what about Anna-sama?" Amidamaru smirked as Yoh's face completely froze.
"Who's Anna, Amidamaru-san?" Kotoha asked the spirit.
"Anna-sama is Yoh-dono's wife, they were arranged to be married when they were younger. She is also his trainer in the shamanic arts, a very strict and severe trainer..." Amidamaru shuddered at the last part, knowing first-hand her 'special' training.
"Ah come on, Anna is alright... I mean she not that bad..." Yoh finally left his frozen state and defended her.
"You're right, it is nice to see her gentle side from time to time..." Amidamaru agreed.
"It must be nice to have someone to care about..." Kotoha pointed out.
"What about you Kotoha, don't you have somebody?" Yoh then noticed Kotoha was now getting flustered.
"W-Well...um...n-no..." Kotoha was now beginning to redden.
"Yoh-dono, you may have hit a nerve..." Amidamaru whispered to him.
"S-Sorry Kotoha, if that was too inappropriate, I'm sorry..." he tried to get her to stop covering her face.
"N-No, it's alright..." She said as she calmed down.
"Yoh-dono, Kotoha-chan, it's getting late, we should turn in for the night," Amidamaru advised.
"Yoh-san, Amidamaru-san, see you in the morning..." She bowed to both of them before heading back inside.
"Well, the stars will be out here tomorrow night...let's go Amidamaru," Yoh said as he began to walk in.
"Yes, Yoh-dono," Amidamaru followed him.
(BGM Ends)
...
Next morning, everyone had gathered in the briefing room for breakfast. Although the two were well-rested, Ryunosuke and Chiaki had difficulty getting their bodies to do what they wanted (or needed for that matter).
"Tch, again?!" Chiaki muttered as his chopsticks fell out of his hand for the up-tenth time.
"You need to relax, like this..." Ryunosuke tried to demonstrate to Chiaki only for his body to lock up and have the same thing happen to him. He now sported a red tint as Chiaki gave him an 'I told you so!' smirk, "...oh like you did any better..."
"Enough you two, we need to discuss the problem at hand," Takeru said as he gave the two a glare.
"Yeah or did you forget the part where that mummy put you two in the infirmary," Genta added.
"Okay, so what do we do then?" Chiaki asked picking up a bowl to get the food closer to him.
"If I know Shishio, he only appeared to showcase his power and to continue our fight that was ended abruptly by his death," Kenshin told everyone.
"That still doesn't mean that the Gedoushu won't attack, so we need to be on high alert," Ryunosuke warned.
"For now, the rest of us should train for the upcoming fights while the two of you focus on getting better..." Takeru informed.
"Um...does anybody know where Yoh is?" Mako asked as she noticed all of Yoh's bowls for food were empty.
"Yoh-san said he was going to hang out around the city; he said he wanted to get used to it because it's different from his home," Kotoha answered.
"Doesn't he know the situation we are in?" Takeru asked, slightly annoyed.
"Takeru-san, please forgive Yoh-dono. He understands the situation, it's just that he has a very laid-back and carefree personality," Amidamaru appeared.
"Sounds like someone else I know..." Takeru shot a quick glare at Chiaki.
"We're going to need him anyway so..." Genta started to say.
"Everyone, I will go look for Yoh-dono," Amidamaru gave a slight bow to everyone before proceeding to leave.
"Amidamaru-san, I'll join you," Kotoha said as she got up, sort of surprising everyone.
"Alright then, be sure to contact us when you find him..." Takeru said, going back to his food.
"No problem, Tono-sama!" Kotoha gave a bow and left the room with Amidamaru.
As she left the room, Mako caught a glance of Chiaki, who was just as surprised as everyone when Kotoha left, but he was completely fine almost right after. After everyone had eaten, the six headed outside to begin training. While Genta and Takeru began to spar, Mako sat next to Chiaki to notice he was locked on to the sparring match.
"So, is something wrong Chiaki?" Mako asked.
"What makes you say that?" Chiaki inquired back.
"Kotoha left to go find Yoh; and you didn't even try to protest..." Mako explained.
"Yeah...and your point is what exactly, Nee-san?" Chiaki tried to keep his attention on both the match and the grilling he was receiving from Mako.
"I thought you might be a little more overprotective..." Mako pondered.
"If I got like that over every guy fawning over her, it would just make me look like a jealous idiot; it would be kind of ironic considering my color is green..." Chiaki told her.
"But I thought you said you were going to tell her-" Mako tried to protest.
"I will tell her when I feel the time is right; not just because it's a jealous whim," Chiaki was now slightly annoyed.
"Fine, sorry if I made you annoyed," Mako sighed.
"So were you able to talk to Ryunosuke before well...the fiasco happened?" Chiaki was referring to what happened yesterday.
"Why would you now bring this up?!" Mako whispered, now getting red.
"Nee-san, surely you didn't think you could grill me and you get away scott-free did you?" Chiaki devilishly smirked.
"Leave her alone Chiaki," Ryunosuke said walking over, making Mako turn away, trying to hide her flushed face.
"She started it..." Chiaki said getting up and walking over to Kenshin to ask him to help him train.
"Listen Mako, about what happened yesterday in the infirmary..." Ryunosuke wanted to explain.
"It's alright, just being able to see that you're getting better is enough..." Mako said, smiling at him.
"See, Take-chan? Is it so hard to be able to find something like that?!" Genta asked Takeru, pointing at the two sitting down, before receiving a strike to the head, courtesy of Takeru's shinai.
"Come on, focus!" Takeru gave his friend a moment to hold his head before the two went back to sparring.
...
[Meanwhile in the city...]
"Okay, I'm not completely lost, but I have no idea where I'm going..." Yoh scratched his head as he looked around. This Tokyo was the same as the one in his world, it's just he almost started to walk in the direction of where his home should be. As he continued to wander, he bumped into two people. The one Yoh bumped into happened to be a girl and both of them were rubbing their foreheads.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I should have looked at where I was going..." The girl in a pink jacket and blue shorts sporting a ponytail said.
"No problem, I needed a good jolt to the head anyway..." Yoh said getting up, brushing himself off.
"Are you sure you don't need any help? You seem a little lost..." The boy with spiky black hair sporting a blue jacket asked.
"I was looking for a shop that sold wooden swords..." Yoh looked around noting that his luck ran up short.
"We know of one place that's close to we are meeting our friends, why don't we show you?" The girl in pink beamed.
"No, I don't want to keep you guys," Yoh was thankful but wanted to get back to the mansion as soon as he found a shop.
"It's not a problem; Alata and the other two won't mind..." the girl in pink said before grabbing Yoh by the arm and started to drag him to their destination, "...by the way, I'm Eri. What's your name?"
"Eri, why do you keep doing this?" the boy in blue noted as he pried Yoh from Eri's grip, "I apologize for my friend. You're not hurt are you?"
"No, I'm fine, if not a little discombobulated. I'm Asakura Yoh." he answered Eri's initial question.
"The guy in blue who's no fun is Hyde..." Eri got out before she stuck her tongue at him.
"At least I wasn't trying to drag someone against their will," Hyde sighed before the three continued on their way to the destination.
...
[At Hyde and Eri's intended destination...]
"Argh! What's taking them so long?!" A girl in a yellow jacket started pacing around.
"Relax, if you keep it up you're going to scare someone..." a boy with a black jacket noted, pointing out people who were getting nervous.
"This is all her fault! Seriously, she would forget her own name if it wasn't etched into her memory!" The girl then let out a frustrated but muffled scream.
"Hyde's with her so everything should be okay..." A second boy with a bowl cut hairstyle and red jacket said as he pulled out a chair to sit down.
"But we need to discuss what we need to bring for the party; and she's your partner, so it should be you with her!" The girl now sported a scowl.
"Moune's right Alata, she is sometimes very spacey..." The boy in in black pointed out.
"I don't see what the problem is Agri, you don't seem to mind when she is," Alata smirked as Agri started to get red.
"Nii-san what is he talking about?" Moune raised an eyebrow as her brother began to stammer and get redder.
"W-Well it's n-not...I-I...u-uhhh..." Agri was having trouble before a familiar person passed through his vision, "H-Hey guys look, it's Kotoha!"
"Really? Oh, it is!" Alata turned around to see that Agri was telling the truth.
"Kotoha! Over here!" Moune called out to the girl who was looking for Yoh.
"Oh! Moune-san, Alata-san, Agri-san! How are you guys?" Kotoha was surprised to see them.
"We're doing great! How are the rest of your teammates?" Agri said.
"We're okay, it's just some of us are badly hurt..." Kotoha sounded a bit sullen saying the last part.
"Did something happen?" Moune got up and touched her shoulder worriedly.
"We ran into a bit of a strong enemy, but I need to ask you something: have you seen a boy wandering around with a pair of orange headphones?" Kotoha asked the three.
"Nope...haven't seen anyone like that. We're waiting for Eri and Hyde..." Alata answered.
"If you guys need help, you know you can always call us," Moune began to hug Kotoha.
"Oh, hey Kotoha! Some of your other friends, I presume?" The pair in yellow turned to see Yoh, Eri, and Hyde walk up to the group.
"So...want took you so long, Eri?" Moune left Kotoha to jump down Eri's throat.
"Well, a couple of kids were crying, so I treated them to ice cream..." Eri pouted.
"We're here and that's what matters, and Kotoha is here too," Hyde interjected.
"Yes, I was looking for Yoh-san; he needs to hurry and head back to the mansion," Kotoha said.
"Oh okay, I found what I needed," Yoh lifted his arm to show a wooden sword.
"So this is why you left the briefing; you are one strange person," Now everyone turned to see Takeru, Mako, Genta, and Kenshin walk up to them.
"I didn't want to disturb anyone..." Yoh sheepishly scratched the back of his head.
"Tono-sama! Everyone, why are you here?" Kotoha was surprised that everyone else came.
"Jii said it was a good idea to get some fresh air, so here we are!" Genta answered.
"Although Ryunosuke and Chiaki didn't like the fact that they were stuck to staying at the mansion..." Mako added.
"Oh, Takeru! It's like a mini-reunion!" Alata said as he got up to shake Takeru's hand.
"Where's the green one with the scowl and the blue jumpy one? Don't tell me they were replaced by these two?" Agri asked looking at Kenshin and Yoh.
"No, we ran into a bit of trouble..." Genta said clenching his fist.
"Kotoha did mention something, what happened?" Moune asked concerned.
"Okay..." Takeru sighed as he began the explanation.
[A few minutes of explanation later...]
"I hope Chiaki and Ryunosuke are doing alright..." Eri said after everything was said.
"It seems like this Shishio person is going to be a major pain for you guys to get the orbs..." Moune added.
"So you two are from different worlds? That would explain why you were slightly lost..." Hyde told Yoh.
"Yeah, maybe I should have brought Amidamaru with me..." Yoh pondered.
"But wouldn't some people freak out seeing him?" Agri noted as he looked at the towering, phased out figure behind Yoh.
"It's more along the case of spirits are only seen by those whose sixth senses are heightened," Yoh said referencing one of the first conversations he had when he first got here.
"So you five are senshi like Takeru-san and the others?" Kenshin asked Alata.
"Yes, we are the team that succeeded them after Doukoku's defeat, Tensou Sentai Goeseiger!" Alata answered.
"Take-chan, Jii just called saying Ryunosuke and Chiaki are here..." Genta said as he closed the Sushi Changer.
"Tono!" The group turned to see Ryunosuke yelling with Chiaki following behind him.
"Speaking of the devil..." Takeru rolled his eyes as the two stopped in front of him.
"Tono! Why have you left us at the mansion?!" Ryunosuke and Chiaki came to the group clutching their chests and breathing hoarsely.
"Because of what you look like right now," Takeru glared at the two who were struggling with their breathing.
"We've been through worse..." Chiaki said before beginning to cough up a little blood, "...damn it! I thought I finished coughing up blood since last night!"
"Chiaki, you still need your rest though..." Kotoha worriedly scolded him as she lead him to a chair.
"Honestly, it's like you won't stop being stubborn until you really get hurt..." Mako pulled out a handkerchief for Ryunosuke to wipe off the sweat that was on his face.
"Well, you four seem to be getting along swimmingly..." Genta smirked causing the four to get red.
"Aw~that's so sweet!" Moune and Eri ran over to the two girls to pull them away from their charges.
"Was there any specific reason you needed to do that?" Takeru asked Genta, who was all but floored at Chiaki and Ryunosuke's red faces.
"I was just having a little fun..." Genta continued to laugh.
"It may be because yesterday, he tried to talk to a girl and got a drink thrown in his face..." Kenshin walked over to Takeru to let him know what happened.
"Oh really...?" Takeru had a small mischievous smile on his face while Genta stopped laughing.
"It must be nice for everyone to be together, don't you think Yoh-dono?" Amidamaru asked him.
"Yeah, kind of makes me miss the others..." Yoh said looking up to the sky.
"Hey mom! It's Onii-chan!" A boy's voice rang into Yoh's ears as he turned to see the little boy from the other day.
"Hey! How's it going? Ma'am..." He greeted the little boy and and gave a slight bow to the mother.
"Thank you for saving my son," The mother then bowed to Yoh.
"Oh, the lady and her son from the other day!" Kenshin said as he and Takeru turned to see Yoh playing with the boy.
"Yes, we were walking when he spotted you with the girl in pink and the boy in blue. He wanted to thank you for saving him the other day," The mom said as her son beat Yoh in a round of rock-paper-sciccors.
"Yeah, also you remind me of Tezu-nii-chan!" The boy beamed.
"Tezu-nii-chan...?" Yoh asked confused.
"His older brother Tezuka. He isn't around often because he is studying medicine at a university in Kyoto," As the mother said the last part, Kotoha came over to the three.
"Your family name wouldn't happen to be 'Kamiya', would it?" Kotoha asked the woman.
"Y-Yes, how do you know that?" The woman asked Kotoha.
"Because Tezuka and my sister are...well..." Kotoha had a difficult time saying the rest.
"Oh! You must be one of the Hanaori sisters my son has been going on about. Every chance he has to call, he always talks about your sister Mitsuba, was it? I'm his mother Kamiya Miyuki and this his little brother, Kazuya," The mother said giggling at the boy who was now chasing Yoh around.
"Yes, he is very kind to my sister...he also mentions you two a lot as well," Kotoha said to Miyuki.
"Well, Kazuya and I have somewhere to be, so it was nice meeting you and thank you again for the other day..." Miyuki bowed to Yoh and Kenshin before turning to Kotoha, "...and when you see my son again, tell him to call more often. Kazuya really does miss him."
"I will, Mrs. Kamiya," Kotoha bowed to her as Kazuya came over to his mother.
"See you later, Yonii-chan!" Kazuya yelled and waved as him and his mother departed.
"It's nice to see that they're doing alright!" Yoh said as he looked on to the disappearing figures.
"I have the same sentiment as well..." Kenshin walked up to Yoh and patted him on the shoulder.
"Takeru, is something wrong?" Moune came over to Takeru, who now took a seat by himself.
"No, everything is good..." he told her, before looking away.
"You know, you're a horrible liar," she teased, which caused him to get flustered.
"W-What are you t-talking about?" he stammered.
"It was just like when you guys invited us and the Go-Ongers to celebrate getting our powers back..." she elaborated, "...you barely had fun and spent most of the time brooding..."
"How could I not; before our powers returned to us, the Gedoushu could've taken an opportunity to strike..." Takeru said defensively.
"You're now worried about Kenshin's situation and that guy who seems to aligned himself with the Gedoushu now, aren't you?" Moune inquired, causing him to tense up a little bit.
"When I saw those five go down...I couldn't hold back my anger towards him..." Moune noticed that as Takeru said that, his clenched fist was now trembling, "...and he was merely toying with m-"
Takeru then realized that his fist was being covered by Moune's hands, "It will be alright. Look at your teammates and friends; they're alright. Also if you need any help, you can always reach us."
"M-Moune...tha-" Takeru was about to say something before...
[BOOM]
"What the hell was that?!" Genta said as he turned around with everyone else.
"It doesn't do us good to sit here; Let's go!" Takeru said as the other twelve followed. They arrived to the scene noting that there were not only the Nanashi Company (Gedoushu foot-soldiers), but there were also a bunch of lime-green monsters that were terrorizing people as well.
"Yeesh! What's with the bug infestation? It was bad enough with just the fish-heads!" Yoh commented as they got to the destination.
"Those are Demon Bug Solders or 'Bibi Soldiers'," Moune informed.
"But wasn't Burajia defeated? Why are they here?" Agri asked.
"We can figure that out later, right now we need to stop them!" Kenshin said as he moved in front of a person who was about to be hit and successfully struck the creature.
"Yoh-dono!" Amidamaru called to him.
"Let's do it! Amidamaru! Hitodama Mode! (Sprit Ball Mode)" he shouted as Amidamaru went from his towering figure to a spirit flame, "Hyoi Gattai! (Spirit Fusion)" Yoh then put the sprit ball within his body as he stopped for a brief moment. Some of the Nanashi saw this and tried to take advantage of the situation by attacking him.
"Yoh! Look out!" Chiaki yelled as he was being surrounded.
Just then, a mechanical lion head came out of nowhere to block for him. It then changed into a robot that took out a laser-gun that beat the other attackers.
"GoseiKnight!" Alata was relieved that both Yoh was unharmed and that the robot came to their aid.
"Citizen, it's not safe for you to be here...you must get to safety..." The robot said to Yoh who was still not moving.
"I thank you, mechanical lion knight, but I can assure you that I am well enough to fight..." Yoh, now fused with Amidamaru, said as he calmly got up and entered the fray.
"Is that Yoh?" Hyde asked as he saw him calmly walk through the waves slashing them down.
"Something tells me that he fused with Amidamaru..." Eri said as she dodged and punch a Nanashi in the gut.
"Everyone let's go!" Takeru said as he took out his Shodophone, signaling the other Shinkengers to do the same.
"Everyone your Tensouders!" Alata called out as they took out a device that looked to have a face on it.
"Shodophone! Ippitsu Sojo!"
"Sushi Changer! Ikkan Kenjo!"
"Gotcha!" the voice from the Tensouder said.
"Change Card! Tensou!"
"Change Goseiger!" The device said when it's mouth closed and a light began to engulf the eleven of them.
"ShinkenRed! ~Shiba Takeru!"
"Onajiku Blue! ~Ikenami Ryunosuke!"
"Onajiku Pink! ~Shiraishi Mako!"
"Onajiku Green! ~Tani Chiaki!"
"Onajiku Yellow! ~Hanaori Kotoha!"
"Onajiku Gold! ~Umemori Genta!"
"The Skick Power of Storms! ~GoseiRed!" (Alata)
"The Skick Power of Breath! ~GoseiPink!" (Eri)
"The Landick Power of Rocks! ~GoseiBlack!" (Agri)
"The Landick Power of Buds! ~GoseiYellow!" (Moune)
"The Seaick Power of Waves! ~GoseiBlue!" (Hyde)
"The knight fated to purify the planet! ~GoseiKnight!"
"Tenkagomen no Samurai Sentai!" Takeru said as he slid the blade over his arm.
"Shinkenger! Mairu!" The six slashed and then did their pose.
"Protecting the planet is an angel's duty!" Alata started and the rest joined him.
"Tensou Sentai...Goseiger!" The six of them called out as they did their pose.
"Alata, let's go!" Takeru called over to the red angel.
"You got it Takeru!" Alata said before the twelve of them rushed into battle.
"Okay, that was awesome!" Yoh said after seeing the twelve transform.
"I'm gonna have to agree with you on that Yoh-dono," Amidamaru said from within Yoh's body.
"I must admit, seeing it first-hand is something beyond spectacular..." Kenshin noted.
As one would expect from the Super Sentai, the foot-soldiers stood no chance when the twelve began to mow them down. It was then after most of the foot-soldiers were cleared, someone had risen from the crack with a monster behind him.
"Good to see you found some more friends, sempai..." The voice said, alerting the fourteen to see who it was.
"Shishio..." Kenshin gritted his teeth as he gripped the sakabato tighter.
"Oh, the bear and the dragon seem to be doing just fine, or are they on their last leg?" Shishio mocked.
"What was that?!" Chiaki was about to charge until he was stopped by Genta.
"Why did you send out the Nanashi? Are you in control of the Gedoushu?" Takeru asked.
"No, but I'll tell you what: since you managed to survive the first time meeting me...I won't fight you today. Instead..." Shishio had an evil glint in his red eyes before slicing down the Ayakashi that was next to him.
"This wasn't the deal...!" The creature said before exploding.
"Have fun..." Shishio said before leaving back into the crack, replaced by more Nanashi.
"This is irritating..." Chiaki said before the ground started to shake.
"Crap! The Ayakashi is now going into its 'second life'!" Genta said before the Ayakashi now became giant-sized.
"Argh!" Both Chiaki and Ryunosuke collapsed clutching their chests as Mako and Kotoha came to their aid.
"Of all the times this needed to happen..." Takeru said as he pulled out a white disc that had tiger silhouettes designs on it as he placed it on his Shinkenmaru and spun it, "Tora Origami!" A giant mechanical white tiger then formed as Takeru jumped into the feudal-style cockpit to control. He stuck his Shinkenmaru into the pod and commanded the tiger to fend off the Ayakashi.
"He can't fend off the Ayakashi by himself!" Mako said before she noticed a light blue disc with marlin silhouettes placed in her hand, "Ryunosuke! I can't take this, it's yours!"
"It's alright, help Tono by forming DaiTenkuu..." he shrugged off, giving Chiaki the signal to do the same by giving Kotoha an orange disc that had beetle silhouettes.
"But...Chiaki, Ryu-san...what about you two?" Kotoha worriedly asked.
"It's fine, besides us transforming in our conditions was already pushing it..." Chiaki said as he struggled to get back up, "...if we were to form Shinken-Oh, it could take heavy damage; we'll stay down here to clear the rest of these guys out with the Goseigers, Kenshin, and Yoh!"
"Don't worry girls, I'll make sure to keep an eye on both of them," Genta said as he gave them a thumbs-up.
"Alright! Let's go Kotoha!" Mako said to her teammate as she spun the disc on her Shinkenmaru, "Kajiki Origami!" As the disc spun, a giant mechanical marlin emerged and she jumped into the cockpit.
"Kabuto Origami!" Kotoha spun the disc and a mechanical single horn beetle emerged as she jumped into the cockpit.
Just as the two entered the origami, Takeru called out to them, "Mako, Kotoha! Samurai Gattai! DaiTenkuu!" He then wrote the kanji for 'combine' as the three origami fused together to form a bird-like creature, after it was formed the three called out, "DaiTenkuu! United Under Providence!"
"Yes! They did it!" Chiaki said as he cut down a few more Bibis and Nanashi.
"Now all that's left is for them to finish it..." Ryunosuke told him.
After firing a volley of lasers and giving the Ayakashi no room to counter Takeru, Mako, and Kotoha got ready for the final attack as they pulled out their Shinkenmarus, "Let's finish this! DaiTenkuu Daigekitotsu! (DaiTenkuu Great Attack)" The origami mecha proceeded to crash through the Ayakashi, finally destroying him.
"No fair...I...did...nothing!" the Ayakashi yelled these last words before finally being destroyed. As expected, the Ayakashi being destoryed made the Nanashi leave back into the cracks, and the rest of of the Bibi's were destroyed by the Goseigers, Kenshin, and Yoh.
DaiTenkuu then separated and Takeru gave his line, "Kore nite, ikken rakuchaku...(With this, this chapter is concluded)"
As GoseiKnight turned back into a Headder (the Goseigers' mecha) and left, everyone joined together and de-transformed.
"You guys are amazing!" Yoh cheered as he looked on at the Shinkengers and Goseigers.
"One thing bothers me though: Burajia was defeated by us, who summoned the Bibi Soldiers?" Hyde inquired.
"Who knows, but you weren't kidding about that Shishio; ruthlessness seems to reek off of him..." Agri shuddered as he remembered Shishio cutting down the Ayakashi.
While everyone was still talking and conversing, Moune tapped Takeru on his shoulder, then giving him a piece of paper, "Drop me a line, you know, in case if you want someone to listen..."
"Thank you," he told her before suddenly he felt a little heated, "What is this? It's like when she talks to me, I feel calm and warm..."
"We're still preparing for the party, so call us if you need help..." Alata told Takeru, getting him out of his trance.
"...and don't leave out any details!" Moune then joined Eri and then winked at Mako and Kotoha who proceeded to redden.
As the Goseigers left, the eight began heading back to the mansion.
"You ladies sure did a great job using DaiTenkuu" Genta praised the two girls.
"Yes, that was most impressive," Kenshin and Amidamaru somehow said at the same time.
"If you two want to use it aga-" Ryunoskue and Chiaki tried to say before finally collapsing.
"Chiaki! Ryunosuke!" the two girls turned to see both of them almost hit the ground.
"Don't worry guys; I got them..." Yoh said as he held both of them up.
"At least now, Jii won't be able to scold them until they wake up..." Takeru sighed.
So the eight continued their journey to the mansion. On top of a building, however someone was watching them leave with a joyful look on his face.
"They haven't found any of the orbs yet; I'm kind of disappointed..." The mysterious person shrugged his shoulders.
Just then another person jumped onto the buliding, "Mind telling me what you think you're doing?"
"Well, if it isn't...The Clerk?" The first person grinned.
...
Closing Note: Can someone let me know what type of bird DaiTenkuu is exactly? Also the Goseigers come in to provide some backup (Of course, not the best action scene writer, so I might have kind of screwed this one up T-T).
