Super Sentai vs Super Sentai – Another

Author's note: I am SO NOT DEAD! I RETURN! Sorry, I just got into a bit of crisis and writer's block. But the Goukaiger hype has kind of rekindled my passion, so I am back on track. Hopefully not stopping. Anyway, the next chapter begins now!


PREVIOUSLY ON CHAPTER 6


This is an alternate world where people from various timelines are taken to live here for whatever reasons unknown. Here, five warriors from different Super Sentai teams; Takeru/Red Mask of the Maskman, Tomasu Hoji/Deka Blue of the Dekaranger, Mei/Ptera Ranger of the Zyuranger, Jiraiya/Ninja Black of the Kakuranger, and Jougasaki Chisato/Mega Yellow of the Megaranger; have gathered together, to find the mystery behind this universe and stop an ancient evil known as Rufecil. However, several of their old enemies have also gathered to eliminate them. They stand strong to uncover the mystery and fight to defend justice and protect the innocents!


CHAPTER 7: Red of the Leadership


To the Super Sentai, Hiroaki has left us the underground base called 'Bonds'. It helped the Super Sentai monitor the world, specifically Japan, a popular target where the villains would strike. As of the current, the Super Sentai was doing activities like any normal human beings would do, but as of now, they were all training in the training dome. Takeru sparred with Jiraiya, between karate and ninpo, while Hoji and Mei were together in shooting practice, Hoji with guns and Mei with archery.

Mei managed to shoot about 3 out of 5 shoots to the perfect mark. When she looked at the results, she just wiped her sweat and said, "Whew. I did well for now, I suppose." She then looked at Hoji, "What about you, Hoji?" The young man was still silent. And it was just then Mei realized he was concentrating and kept shooting and shooting… and all of them hit right on the mark. "Wow…!" Mei clapped her hands as a result.

"It's… Perfect." Hoji said as he put down his gun, and looked at Mei's result, "While that wasn't perfect, it's not a bad sign. Keep this up, Mei." He cheered.

"Well! Excuse me for not being 'perfect' enough!" Mei just huffed as she then turned towards Takeru and Jiraiya sparring. "Well they sure are also practicing hard."

"HII-YAH!"

"HYAA!"

With one moment, Takeru launched his fist, and in the same time, Jiraiya tried swinging his hand for a chop. Both landed near their faces and stopped… the match is a draw. "Haha! That's a good match!" Takeru said as both of them laid down their fists, "You're pretty good!"

"You too." Jiraiya replied, before he started looking around and noticed something, "Where's Chisato?"

"Huh? She hasn't arrived yet?" Mei wondered, realizing that they were missing one person… until suddenly the door opened and there came Chisato, carrying a bag filled with foods.

"Hey, guys! What did I miss?"

"Missed the whole training session." Hoji said bluntly, crossing his arm, "You're pretty confident with your strength."

"Sorry about that…" Chisato sheepishly answered while putting her hand forward, "See, I'm still in college so I still gotta attend that…"

"Sure that won't hinder your activity in fighting those guys?" Jiraiya asked back. The last thing he'd want to hear is for Chisato to suddenly make an excuse that college work kept her busy.

"Hey, as a Megaranger, I was known to juggle a double life between fighting the Nejirejia and schoolwork." Chisato stated, defending herself, "So no need to worry about me!"

"Okay, point taken. Now that everyone's here, there's something I'd like to talk about." Takeru stated, once again his face turning serious, "Leaders. Don't you think we need one? I may be the leader of the Maskman, but maybe…"

"Well that may be true." Hoji pondered as he walked around, "Takeru may be the most senior and the red warrior, but he is the least advanced in terms of technology, so…"

"So you're telling that you, being the most junior and recent, become the leader, Hoji?" Chisato suddenly asked in sarcasm.

"Since when did I say that? !" Hoji asked back, "Though… I do have the experience as a field leader."

"Yeah, right. So for a change, we get a leader who is not Red." Chisato pondered, "Oh well, the official leader of the Megarangers isn't Mega Red."

"Well… if I am the leader…" Hoji wondered, until he suddenly said, "The first thing I'll ask to you is to do something about this double life."

"What? !" In a sudden, Chisato raised her voice angrily, "Are you saying that I should abandon my college? ! Don't you trust me? !"

"This is a serious business!" Hoji shot back, "It's no longer only the Nejirejia you're fighting against! There's also Alienizers! Along with Tube, Bandora's minions and the Youkai! It's going to be a harder fight! School and fighting evil are two completely different things!"

"You can't just decide like that!" Chisato shot back at him, "I…"

"What? !" Hoji was riled up at this point, "Look, are you really committed to fight against evil here? Are you professional or not? !"

"I… I try my best, Hoji." Chisato was also equally angered, and after she put the bag of food to the table, she stormed off from the room.

"Wait, where are you going?" Jiraiya asked, but Chisato did not hear it.

"Let's follow her!" Takeru suggested as Jiraiya nodded, and the two boys followed the fleeing Chisato.

Hoji also wanted to pursue her as well, but suddenly Mei stepped in front of him. "What now, Mei?" She was silent, but suddenly she raised her hand and slapped him straight on the cheek, "Wh… what was that about? !"

"Don't you know the term 'rude'?" Mei asked angrily, "Chisato is trying her best to continue her life while fighting evil. You have no right to dictate her life! Who called you leader already? !"

"I never declared myself leader yet!" Hoji defended, "It's just a what-if scenario!"

"Okay, but that was uncalled for!"

"All right, I admit. I might've gone a bit too much." Hoji said, admitting defeat, "I should apologize to her."

"Takeru and Jiraiya are taking care of it, I'm sure." Mei said as suddenly her eyes shifted into some sort of nastiness, "But first, as a fellow female friend of Chisato, I feel obliged to give you a punishment for your rudeness… Hee hee…"

"Uh… what?"


As all of these were unveiled, the group of villains led by Abrellar has located themselves inside a base located on the moon, a castle once belonged to Bandora. With his help as well as Shibolena's technology, it was renovated into something more high-technology. They were able to scout on what was happening in the Earth. "A scuffle between the team?" Gasha Dokuro commented, seeing the squabble between Hoji and Chisato, "And they expect to defeat us like this?"

"They're Super Sentai." Abrellar added, "That alone makes them as dangerous as it can get… but this time… our plan will succeed…"

"Plan?" Lamie asked, confused with what was happening, "So you have a plan for something? Such as… terrorizing children or such?"

"You're a pretty woman, Lamie." Kiros complimented, before his compliment turned into a sour comment, "But your planning leaves little to be desired at."

"What did you say? !" Lamie shot back at Kiros and attempted to slash him, even though it was dodged.

"Hit a nerve, didn't I." He called back, "But I gotta admit that I like women who got spunk. At least that's one thing positive from you." It was meant as an insult, however, thus Lamie could only growl in annoyance, when Shibolena just stepped between them.

"That's enough, Kiros." Shibolena reprimanded, "I know you like hitting on women, but this isn't quite the time. Aren't we here for the goal of the destruction of Super Sentai?"

"Indeed. However…" Abrellar continued, "I realized that the reason why we fail all stem to one thing… we tried to inflict damage to humanity in general first, without plucking out the obvious obstacle… The Super Sentai."

"Exactly." Gasha Dokuro added, "Once the Super Sentai is out of picture, then we can torment humanity as much as we like! Therefore, I suggest that we drop whatever plan we had for humanity, children, or whatever, before we kill those pesky Super Sentai!" He then turned towards Abrellar and pointed his sword to the bat-like Alienizer, "You too… Agent. You death merchants have your job, I know… but this time… make it that you only give your services if your clients are willing to destroy the Super Sentai!"

"Yes. The earlier they're out of picture… the better." Abrellar said while chuckling devilishly, "So then… has anyone gotten an experience about nearly wiping out your respective enemy team?"

"I remember one…" Kiros said, reminded at that one time the Maskman was nearly wiped out… the incident with Fencer Unas. "We of the Underground Tube Empire knew one royal fencer named Unas, resembling one of the Maskmen. Using that as an advantage, we used one of the monsters we had, the Armor Doggler, to possess that Maskman and completely cornered the rest, to the point that we could corner them and arrange their execution… Of course, due to that stupid thing called 'friendship', we were interrupted in the last moments and the Maskman force was restored… Or so I heard from the other Tube generals." As he concluded his story, he looked at the rest of the villains who looked in awe, "Impressive, huh? I bet any of you has never come so close in defeating the Sentai."

"You watch your mouth!" Gasha Dokuro was angered and put his blade on Kiros' neck, all while scolding in annoyance, "My father and I have more than once captured and nearly killed the Kakurangers as well!"

"But that definitely ended in failure too, I suppose?" Lamie added the fuel to the fire.

"That's enough! We're here for planning, not to bicker on who are better!" Shibolena finally broke the argument as the rest really understood. She then turned her attention to Kiros, "That monster was an interesting one, Kiros. Perhaps with my Nejire beast, we could create a more extreme situation than that one…"

"I like that attitude as well…" Kiros smiled widely as he approached Shibolena, "So… what's in the plan?"

"For this plan, I would require your knowledge." Shibolena said as she eventually turned towards Abrellar, "If you would also give out your merchandise, Agent Abrellar?"

"Of course." Abrellar chuckled as he put his hand in front of his head, "For this once… I will disregard about prices and fortunes. The elimination of the Super Sentai comes first. So you get my services for free… consider this a very good opportunity that you should not miss."

"Very well… we should not waste any time here." Shibolena said as she entered the laboratory, followed by both Kiros and Abrellar.

"Huh… We'll just see if this kind of plan would work…" Gasha Dokuro muttered deviously as she witnessed her allies enter the laboratory, "I doubt that you could even come close to my father… that I will definitely surpass."


"Chisato!" Wandering around a nearby park after they got out from the Bonds, Takeru and Jiraiya continued to call out for Chisato.

"She must've been distraught on that comment." Jiraiya muttered, "Sometimes I do wonder if Hoji is really…"

"I admit he might come off a bit of a jerk." Takeru said, having been the one who was with Hoji the longest, "But he's really dependable. What he said isn't completely wrong either. This is a dangerous threat."

"Are you saying that Chisato really needs to lay off the college work?" Jiraiya asked. After his experience with high school, he admitted that it was quite fun, even if it's for several days only. As far as he knew, after high school, there was college. It must've been fun as well…

"No, I'm not saying that." Takeru defended himself, "But I was just saying that she needs to put more effort in her double life for now, without neglecting either. They're both important."

"Well said." Jiraiya nodded, impressed with Takeru's wisdom, "For now we search for her and tell her it's okay. To make things quicker, let's split up."

"Um… wha?" Takeru was puzzled at hearing it, as he wasn't really familiar with the English language, even if it was broken like Hoji.

"Hey… what are you two doing here?" In a sudden, they heard Chisato calling them as she approached them, cancelling their plan to split up.

"Oh, there you are, Chisato." Takeru called, "We were looking for you. We just want to talk."

"Is it… about my college?" Chisato's mood suddenly was ruined again. Her smile became sour as she hung her head low, "I'm sorry. But I really can't abandon my education again. It's all right if you…"

"Replace you? No way." Jiraiya defended her, "You're irreplaceable. I'm sure Hoji didn't really mean that."

"But if I really become a burden…" Chisato insisted, until Takeru held her in the shoulder.

"Okay, Chisato… take a deep breath, relax and then sit down over there." Takeru said as he pointed to a bench located in that park, "Maybe it will help you calm down." As instructed by Takeru, Chisato did what she was told to and sat down. She felt a bit relaxed, true to Takeru's advice. As a minute passed, Takeru started talking once more. "Listen, I'm not saying you're a burden, nor do I disapprove your double life as both a Sentai Warrior and a student. They're both important. Hoji wasn't completely wrong either. This is really a threat that has never been so big… I mean, more than one faction joining each other…"

"So basically, I really have no choice but to…" Chisato tried asking again, but Takeru interrupted.

"If you abandon that double-life of yours, I will really be mad." Takeru cut her protests instantly, "Those two are important, it's not right to sacrifice one. All I'm asking is that you intensify your efforts in that double-life. You'll need them."

"Well… I guess that's one way to put it… I should be able to do it." Finally, Chisato managed to smile, her spirits rising again, "If I could have a double-life while being a Megaranger, this shouldn't be too hard. I should just try even better than before." She clenched her fist, showing her determination to face the new challenges of life, "Thanks, Takeru."

"Great." Jiraiya nodded, adding a smile, "Let's go back to Bonds. I was pretty sure you bought something. About food, perhaps?"

"Uh huh." Chisato said as she got up and along with the boys, she started walking away, "It was meant for an after-training meal…"


On the other side of the city, however, Hoji was seen carrying a few shopping bags, while Mei was walking in front of him. "What have I done that I deserve this…" Hoji sighed as the weight of the bags got onto him.

"What have you done?" Mei said, in a rather playful tone, "It's because you were being a jerk in a way you express things. You should try to recall your mistakes. This is a pretty light punishment, you know."

"Well, how are you going to pay this?" Hoji retorted, "Don't tell me… Look, the Bonds is not a bank, you know. It doesn't produce money! We could go bankrupt if…"

"No worries, I'm not buying much!" Mei said, until suddenly she shifted her eyes, as if looking rather sinister, "Or… would you like a heavier punishment where I go on a shopping spree and have you pay for all of it?"

That one look really brought Hoji to his knees metaphorically as he gulped and resigned in defeat by muttering, "N-no, thank you, ma'am…" 'Is she really a princess?' At the same time Hoji wondered on Mei's status. However, he quickly concludes that princess or not, Mei must be pretty young at her age, the 'hundred years' in her age attributed to her time she went into a sleeping state without her body aging, and it would be common for her to act like a normal girl, liking cute things or shopping.

And speaking of cute things… as such he continued to walk, following Mei as she suddenly stopped on a store which sold several cute dolls.

"Ah… This is so cute…!" Mei stated as she looked at a bunny doll on the stand, "Say… would you…"

"B… buy this…?" Hoji gulped as he realized that Mei probably would want him to buy it for her.

"Pretty, please…?" Mei then made an expression which involving making her eyes wide and slightly watery, and putting her hands together, as if pleading to Hoji, "I… I wanted to buy that during the breaks at the battle against Bandora, but I never got the chance! Now that I could… Well, it's only once!"

'Is this girl trying to take advantage of me…?' Hoji wondered as he looked at the price tag of the doll. It was quite expensive too… But then when Mei used her expression to plead for him, Hoji was not that much of a heartless man to dismiss it. He's having trouble to decide whether to accept or not.

However, in a sudden, they heard people screaming. In this moment, Hoji knew that perhaps Abrellar and his new team is causing trouble. "Save it for later." Hoji said as his face turned serious, "We got trouble."

"I see." As much as she was disappointed that her chance was dashed again, Mei knew when to get serious. She got rid of that expression and nodded with a serious face as she and Hoji ran to the direction where the scream came from.


It didn't take long for Hoji and Mei to finally find the culprit… a Nejire Beast formed like a cross between a turtle and an armadillo, its head and limbs were that of a turtle, but it possesses the tail of an armadillo, and the shell combined that of a turtle and of an armadillo. "Hold it right there!" Hoji's yell was enough to make it stop and turned its attention to the duo, rather than attacking many innocent people.

"What are you planning to do? !" Mei asked, though not really sure of what she would call it, but the creature was still silent.

"Well, I guess we'll have to force him to tell. Though there's got to be something behind this rampage… " Hoji said as he prepared his SP License, "Let's finish this quickly."

"Okay!" Mei nodded as she prepared her Dino Buckler as well.

"EMERGENCY! DEKARANGER! FACE ON!"

"DINO BUCKLER!"

After transformation, both Deka Blue and Ptera Ranger quickly moved to attack the beast, brandishing their weapons as they attacked the silent monster.

"Is this how you run things in the past? !" Deka Blue asked while he struck his D-Rod to the monster's hand, "Mindlessly attacking innocent people because you were told to? !" And there was no response from the monster. But then, he realized something was wrong… 'Why didn't he summon whatever minions he had before?'

As Deka Blue eventually broke away from the clash, an opening was made. Ptera Ranger tried to aim with her Ptera Arrow onto the creature's head, "Okay, stay right there…" She muttered as she pulled the string. Until she did detect that something was terribly off. Several Kunekune soldiers leapt behind her and kicked her back, knocking her down. "An ambush…? !" As such, Ptera Ranger had to concentrate on the enemies right now while Deka Blue continued to push on against the monster.

"Kunekune soldiers… which means, just like that Nejire beast…!" Deka Blue confirmed seeing the Kunekune soldiers, now he knew what he fought against. As the fight continues, however, suddenly the creature grinned.

"Hehehe… right onto your positions." The creature spoke sinisterly as suddenly it crossed its arm, "Shell Missiles… stand by, fire!" In a sudden, the shell behind its back grew many rocket spikes and as it spread it arms, the spikes flew to the sky and homes onto both Deka Blue and Ptera Ranger, even as they dodged, the number of the spikes were too many for them, attacking them from front and behind.

"Damn…!" Deka Blue cursed as he tried to get up. However, the creature yelled further.

"Now, this is the power of the Shell Nejire!" The creature, finally stating his name, suddenly made a copy of his shell, which he threw and it attached itself onto Ptera Ranger, de-transforming her back into Mei as the armor circled and restrained her arm slightly.

"AAAAHHH!" Mei screamed as the armor inflicted an untold amount of pain to her, "What… what is this…!"

"Enjoy your last moments of sanity." A female voice was heard as Deka Blue looked around, and he found Shibolena walking right to him.

"You! What have you done to Mei…!" Deka Blue vehemently asked, but Shibolena just attacked him without even answering at all, clashing her stick with his D-Rod, before kicking him on the chest. Unfortunately for him, just as he got up, Shell Nejire also threw another of his armor copy, de-transforming him and gave him a similar pain. "AAARGH!"

"Lose your mind, and attack your so-called friends!" As Shibolena eventually said after witnessing both Hoji and Mei being inflicted with the electrocution, finally a bright light flashed and both heroes were not on themselves again. They're wearing a silver armor and black-purple vest, Mei was still holding a bow and arrow, while Hoji used an actual sword instead of his rod.

"Perfect… perfect, just as planned! Well done, Shell Nejire!" Shibolena said to the monster as it also expressed its own joy.

"Thank you, Milady! The Nejirejia's revenge shall be upon this world!" The monster said, before Shibolena promptly knocked him on the head.

"Fool! Before you go on with humanity, you must go after those Super Sentai first!" She warned, "Especially that… Megaranger…!"


With them being controlled with the armors, Hoji and Mei began to strike against the innocents and human properties, attacking them. It didn't take long for them to be spotted…

"HEY! STOP!" It was Jiraiya who tried stopping them, but they looked at him with cold, emotionless eyes. In the meantime, Takeru and Chisato had been evacuating the innocents, before they confronted the two as well.

"Hoji! What the hell? !" Takeru yelled out, but Hoji did not respond as he attacked him. At this point, it instantly reminded him with his previous fight with Akira, his fellow Maskman possessed by a Doggler monster. Except this time, not only Hoji was experiencing the same thing, Mei was also the same, attacking Chisato along the way.

"Mei, stop this!" Chisato pleaded as she dodged Mei's shots.

"Damn, at this rate I have to turn the tables!" Jiraiya said as he prepared his Doron Changer.

"SUPER HENGE! DORON –"

Unfortunately for Jiraiya, before he could transform, a lightning bolt struck his hand, causing him to drop it and his transformation interrupted. Before he could realize what's going on, he felt that something was grafted onto his back. "Wha-AAAAHHH!" Jiraiya was also injected with the pain as he screamed.

"Jiraiya! No!" Chisato tried to get the thing off his back, but she was suddenly held with both Hoji and Mei. In the same time, several Kunekune soldiers suddenly appeared and attacked Takeru instead, "Kunekune soldiers…? !" As Chisato uttered, there was a flash of light, and in a sudden Jiraiya ended up the same as Hoji and Mei, wearing a weird armor and having cold, emotionless eyes.

"Oh no…" Takeru muttered as he just punched a Kunekune soldier down.

"'Oh no' indeed!" In a sudden, Shibolena appeared along with the Shell Nejire, surrounding the recently brainwashed Jiraiya. "This is your end, Super Sentai. And I never thought it'd be this quick."

"You…!"

"Shibolena…! Why are you doing this? !" Chisato insisted, as she struggled on the hold of both Hoji and Mei.

"Why? Isn't it obvious? !" Shibolena said as she approached Chisato. With her stick, she started slapping her, "Vengeance upon you accursed Super Sentai! Because of you… Hizumina… Yugande… Dr. Hinelar…! ALL OF THEM DIED! I shall have my revenge… for my family…!"

"Ugh…" Chisato could only grunt while she took the hits, "You… extended your hatred to us all Super Sentai…?"

"Indeed. If it wasn't for them, we would've had an easier time to fulfill our ambitions." Shibolena said, "But that's enough talk. Shell Nejire!"

"Yes, ma'am!" The Shell Nejire then produced another copy of his shells and threw it to Chisato, "This is the last one. Savor it well!" In no time, Chisato was grafted with that armor and experienced the pain onto her body.

"CHISATO!" Takeru called out once more, but even more Kunekune blocked his path.

"Aaah…! T-Takeru…" Chisato, with the ounces of her remaining strength called out, "I'm sorry… I leave the rest… to you…!" As soon as she finished that, a bright light flashed in front of her as well and she then stood brainwashed.

"Good job, Shell Nejire…!" Shibolena commended as she turned her attention to Takeru, "Feeling familiar? Red Mask… Kiros told me about you."

"Kiros? !" Takeru said, shocked, "What did he say? !"

"That you once was completely beaten when you're stabbed in the back by your ally…" Shibolena's words once again recalled on how he and the rest of the Maskman saved Akira, by using the power of their trust and their prayer. "This time… you're alone." She uttered, bringing Takeru in shock, "You'll face not just one of your ally, but four of them, and you're alone in this! Die!" As Shibolena commanded; the brainwashed Hoji, Mei, Jiraiya and Chisato attacked Takeru.

"Guys! Stop this! It's me, Takeru!" Takeru tried to remind them, but all of them fell into deaf ears. He realized that they came from different teams, so the bonds weren't as strong. They needed a leader to rearrange that bond. However, Takeru had no time to do this. He had to defend himself. This time there won't be a public crucifixion like before with Akira. These four were set to kill him right there at that time.

"Damn it…!" Takeru said as he leapt to avoid being surrounded, "How dare you do this to my friends! Unforgivable!"

"AURA MASK! RED MASK!"

In instant, he transformed and prepared for another battle… alone. Dauntlessly, he ran through and beat up many Kunekune soldiers that barred his way to the Shell Nejire. As they engaged in a fight, Red Mask started asking him out loud, inbetween launching his punches. "Tell me how to return them to normal, now!"

"Sure thing." Shell Nejire said as he turned back and let Red Mask punch his shell, causing him to pull his fist back in pain, "And that's death!" With that, he smacked Red Mask on the chest, knocking him away. "If you kill me, then they will die too!"

"What…? !" While Red Mask was down, he saw Shibolena trying to pick up something in the ground. "That's… damn it! Masky Blade!" Red Mask quickly drew his signature weapon and leapt to Shibolena, attacking her. He didn't manage to land a clean hit, but damaging Shibolena was never his intention at all. Instead, when Shibolena was distracted, he picked up the item that she tried to pick up… Jiraiya's Doron Changer. "No way I'm letting this fall to your hand!"

"Is that so? But don't you think you're swinging your weapon at the wrong direction?" As Shibolena smirked, Red Mask found himself surrounded by his possessed allies, as they started attacking him again. Just like before, he couldn't find it in his heart to attack any of his new friends. And soon, the attacks landed on him started to tally and he began to grow weak with his injuries.

"Damn… is this how I'm going to end…?" Red Mask struggled to get up to his two feet after an attack from both Chisato and Jiraiya knocked him down. Shibolena took the right information from Kiros and made the effect bigger. The Shell Nejire was merely a facilitator. The biggest threat came from his possessed four friends. However… in the last moments, he remembered… that dream. That dream where his friends vanished. 'No… I can't give up here. If I fail here, then the world…!'

Red Mask then stood up and put his hands forward, forming a symbol. "Meditation!" He shouted as he concentrated, unleashing several aura from within. The aura struck his four allies, but in the case of Chisato, however, he managed to land a hit somewhere above her, causing a certain black orb to appear floating above her. "Wha…? Perhaps that is the source…!" Betting every last ounce of his fighting strength, Red Mask drew his Masky Blade again, and concentrated.

Coincidentally, Chisato was the first to get up, and in turn ran towards Red Mask. Shell Nejire, however, managed to spot something. "It's detected…! On her, of all people? !" He was shocked to hear that.

"Fall back! It's too dangerous!" Shibolena shouted, trying to command Chisato. However, it was too late for her.

"Now!" Red Mask exclaimed as he suddenly jumped and sheathed his sword, the drawing was just a feint. Quickly, he drew his gun and shouted, "Laser Magnum!" With that, he shot the orb, destroying it. On its destruction, the armor once again injected pain onto Chisato's body as she screamed in pain, but overall, she managed to survive as she slumped to the ground.

"Chisato!" Red Mask reached and carried her as his strength started to fade away. Thanks to the explosion, Shibolena was unable to see that Red Mask fled with Chisato.

"That was a lucky shot…" She cursed.


"Well that wasn't too bad!" Lamie exclaimed as she and Gasha Dokuro watched the events unfold from the castle.

"What? ! Are you giving up that easily! Admit that they're better? !" Gasha Dokuro, however, protested.

"So mean! I didn't mean that!" Lamie protested and pouted "Ugh, you certainly are different from my darling Grifforzer… I miss him…"

"Of course I'm different!" Gasha Dokuro continued to protest, "I'm better! And stronger!"

"Are you hitting on me? !" Lamie snapped again, thinking that Gasha Dokuro had the balls to even hit on a married woman.

"Rather than arguing like that, maybe you should just enjoy the destruction of those… Sentai." Abrellar arrived just in time to break away the fight, "They're nearing their destruction with how things go… Genius or not, the difference is success." The group was then silenced as they just watched.


Red Mask managed to carry her into an empty house near the docks area until he was exhausted and de-transformed. Around this time, Chisato started regaining consciousness. "Um…? What am I doing… Ah!" She gasped after remembering what happened to her, being possessed by a monster and attacking Takeru. When she looked around, she witnessed Takeru heavily breathing and exhausted. "Takeru!"

"Chisato… you all right?" Takeru just asked, looking at her despite sweating, "This is no big deal…"

"I'm sorry, Takeru… I…" Chisato held him on the shoulder, getting him to sit down and lean on a wall to rest. She hung her head low in shame, "I wasn't…"

"No, it's okay. We're caught off guard." Takeru said, "It's not your fault. Nothing to do with double life and all…"

"You saved me." Chisato said as she faced him and gave a smile showing her gratitude. "I'll have to make it up somehow… oh, all right I know. Takeru, rest here."

"Eh?" Takeru was shocked hearing it.

"I can still fight. I'm not as tired as you." Chisato said as she got up, her confidence returning, "I'll save the rest. So please just rest here until you got your strength back."

Takeru wanted to stop him, but Chisato was right. His spirit may be still burning, but his body needed rest. He just smiled and continued, "Very well. I'll leave it to your capable hands, Chisato. You can do it. Do you know how to save them?"

"Um…" In a sudden, Chisato became quiet. She didn't know about how Takeru saved her, or rather, the details on how to do it. It was at that time Takeru finally told her.

"There's something invisible above their heads… it's controlling them. If you can detect them…" Takeru then also handed down something… Jiraiya's Doron Changer, "When all is done… give this back to Jiraiya."

Chisato took the words onto her head carefully and started thinking of a way to discover it, until she realized that she did have the power. "I know how to do it, and I can! Leave it to me, Takeru!" As Takeru nodded, Chisato left the house.

"Wait for me, guys… I'll save you." She muttered as she finally prepared to transform, "INSTALL! MEGARANGER!"

And thus, Mega Yellow ran to the battle once again. Alone…


"Come out, Megaranger! Maskman!" Shibolena shouted as she along with the Shell Nejire were wreaking havoc towards the innocents, in order to bait Takeru and Chisato into the battle. "Or else these humans die!"

Unfortunately, Shell Nejire noticed something. Hoji, Mei and Jiraiya, despite being controlled with the armor, only did property damages rather than attacking the humans. This understandably pissed him off, "The hell are you doing? ! Go attack those humans!" They did not answer and continued with their rampage against properties. "Damn it…" Shell Nejire sighed as he pressed a button on his stomach. In a sudden, the three were electrocuted and eventually, when several men passed by them, they attacked these innocent people.

"Ha ha ha! Good…!" Shell Nejire laughed in satisfaction, until he realized one thing. They only attacked with non-lethal or vicious attacks. "That's not vicious enough! Use your weapon! Destroy them!"

Irritated, Shell Nejire attempted to press the button again, until he was interrupted. "MEGA SNIPER!" In a sudden, his stomach was shot as Mega Yellow eventually approached the enemies. "That's far enough!"

"Here you are, Mega Yellow…!" Shibolena beckoned as the three brainwashed heroes gathered around her, "Destroy her!"

Soon after, Mega Yellow found herself attacked, and like her friend, she was unable to hit them. Of course, she didn't want to. She needed to find an opening… in which she was able to when she leapt to escape. "My turn. Digicam Search!" As such, Mega Yellow activated her exclusive Megaranger power, the Digicam Search, which allowed her to see through many hidden things… which apparently included the black orbs controlling them. "That's it… must be what Takeru was talking about!"

"Oh no, she didn't mean…!" Shibolena was shocked hearing that. It seemed that she realized that Mega Yellow has spotted the weakness.

"Too late! Mega Sling!" Mega Yellow quickly acted and drew her weapon. He took aim, and managed to shot down the orbs above Hoji and Mei, freeing them from the armor's grasp and dropped them down. Mega Yellow then tried to take aim for Jiraiya, but when she shot, Shell Nejire got in the way and deflected the shot. "Wha? !"

"Not on my watch, fool!" Shell Nejire said as he then approached Mega Yellow and started attacking her from close range. "You got guts, Megaranger, that's why you're seriously pissing me off! Now die! For my Nejire brothers and sisters!"

"Rrgh…!" Mega Yellow struggled against the attacks, but she was slowly getting overwhelmed. Even more, Shell Nejire called forth Jiraiya so he acted like his shield, disabling Mega Yellow to attack him. The struggling continued for several minutes…

Until there was a sound of explosion.

And Jiraiya screamed as he fell to the ground, freed from the armor. When Mega Yellow noted, she finally noticed… both Hoji and Mei were back on their feet and shot the black orb with their gun and bow respectively. "Payback time." Hoji uttered, with anger in his voice. He really didn't like the thought of having his body controlled like that, it reminded him of that one event when an Alienizer switched body with him and wreaked havoc. Mei was also equally mad, when she realized that they controlled her mind, like that one time she was poisoned and had her mindset turn into a punk's, doing many crude, un-ladylike things.

"Guys, are you okay? !" Mega Yellow called out as she approached Jiraiya, trying to cover her.

"We're all right, don't worry, Chisato!" Mei was quick enough to switch her expression into a cheery one, reserved for her friends as the two approached Mega Yellow.

"We got no time, though." Hoji said, "We really have to destroy them quick…" And when Hoji looked, however, Shibolena was nowhere in sight, "Did she just flee? Well, no matter, we'll destroy that monster then." He then looked at Jiraiya who was getting up, "Sure you can continue? There's no rush."

"I'm fine, no problem." Jiraiya nodded as he got up and prepared to transform. "Let's go! Super—"

"Um, Jiraiya?" Mega Yellow said as she tapped on Jiraiya's shoulder, and then handed his Doron Changer.

"Oh, right! Thanks!" Jiraiya said as he, along with Hoji and Mei prepared to transform.

"EMERGENCY! DEKARANGER! FACE ON!"

"DINO BUCKLER!"

"SUPER HENGE! DORON CHANGER!"

The three transformed and ready to fight. However, something bugged Deka Blue… "Where is Takeru?"

"Don't worry, he's just recuperating to his wounds. He risked a lot to save you guys, you know." Mega Yellow said, "And it was because of his hint that I could save you all."

"I see…" Deka Blue noted, before he finally turned towards the Shell Nejire, "Did you call yourself Shell Nejire? In that case, for taking over control of men's minds, assault towards humanity for no apparent reason… JUDGMENT!"

Without giving any chances, Deka Blue immediately applied the Judgment Time to Shell Nejire, and he instantly received a red X. "Delete Approved!"

"What the hell was that? ! Delete? ! Don't make me laugh!" Shell Nejire protested.

"It seems that most of the monsters earlier than your era were more or less… all evil." Ninja Black commented, "I don't think you should…"

"Perhaps. But we can't be too sure." Deka Blue commented, and in a sudden, Ninja Black was reminded with his experience with the Youkai Zashiki-Warashi, who despite being with the all-evil Youkai, he was a good monster.

"Ah, yeah. Sorry I asked." He noted.

"No worries, that's why I'll need your help. I may not do Judgments for now, but if there are chances that the enemy may be ambiguous, that's when I'll use it." Deka Blue confirmed, "At any rate, let's go!"

On his command, Deka Blue had the team attack Shell Nejire, who responded with sending out many Kunekune soldiers, in which they began quite the brawl.

Eventually Shell Nejire has had enough and took position. "Shell Missiles, fire!" He launched the shell homing missiles as they homed onto the Sentai warriors. However, they're ready now. They prepared their gun sidearms; the D-Sniper, Ranger Gun, Kakulaser and Mega Sniper, and they did their best to shoot down every single of missiles, and some of them also shot down the Nejire Beast on the stomach. However, one missile flew straight to Ninja Black and he didn't shoot it.

"Jiraiya!" Ptera Ranger shouted, worried on Ninja Black's safety. However, he just grabbed the missile with his bare hand.

"Now get a taste of your own medicine!" He shouted as he jumped and threw the missile to the monster, who tried covering himself with his shell. It did him no good and his shell exploded, although not enough to kill him, but along with the explosion, there was a text written "BOOM!" that came out.

"What was that 'Boom!' thing?" Deka Blue asked, "That looked as if it came out from a campy film or sorts…"

"Well, you don't need to mind that. At least it gets the job done." Ninja Black shrugged.

"Huh?" Ptera Ranger then suddenly sensed something. It turned out they missed out one missile and it was heading straight to them. And it was a big one… "Guys, look out! Behind!"

"Ha ha ha!" Shell Nejire laughed as he got up and saw the Sentai warriors preparing, "I still got another trick up to my sleeve! You'd better enjoy your last moments…"

"LASER ARROW!"

And that yell dashed Shell Nejire's hopes as a beam went through the missile and destroying it. The culprit was none other than Red Mask himself, already recovered from his wounds.

"Takeru!" The four of them approached him, glad that he's back.

"Looks like you did a good job in weakening him too." Red Mask nodded, "Then we just need to finish the job. How about the Judgment?"

"Already did." Deka Blue answered, "And it's approved of course."

"Good. Guys, stand by." Red Mask said.

"Okay… let's go!"

In a short time, once again, Deka Blue and Ptera Ranger opened up with their ranged weapons, the D-Sniper and Ptera Arrow, while Mega Yellow followed up with her Blade Arm, followed by Ninja Black's Kakure-Ryuu Nagareboshi, and ended with Red Mask's Masky Crash. It heavily wounded him. As he started to collapse, he asked, "Too strong… what are… you…?"

"You'd like to know what we are?" Red Mask asked, before he nodded to the rest, "We'll tell you then…!"

"Red Mask!"

"Pursue mysterious cases! Deka Blue!"

"Ptera Ranger! Mei!"

"Ninja Black! Jiraiya!"

"Mega Yellow!"

"Even though we are from the different time and team…" Red Mask stated, followed by Mega Yellow and they turned away, "We are still united as one!"

"We are…! SUPER SENTAI!" And as they exclaimed their identities, an ensuing explosion occurred and Shell Nejire was destroyed in it.

"All right, success!" Red Mask exclaimed.

"With this, case complete." Deka Blue said as he started up once again, "Super Cool. Perfect."

Unfortunately for him, that was continued with a light bop on his back from behind by Ptera Ranger, "You were brainwashed during the majority of this battle! What is so cool about that? Geez…"

"Well, so are you!" Deka Blue protested, "Besides, I was pointing at Chisato when I said that!"

"Eh?" Mega Yellow was confused as Deka Blue was pointing at her with his thumb.

"Well, guess that means he's now cool with you. Isn't that great?" Ninja Black cheered.

"Erm, Chisato…" Deka Blue said, "I was being a jerk back then. I'm really sorry about that. You're great."

"Ah hah… not really, Hoji." Mega Yellow answered back, "You did make point back then. I need to be more serious in this term."

"Ah well, all's good then?" Ptera Ranger asked happily, "Thank goodness…"

"Wait." Suddenly, Red Mask said, "Something bugged me… In times like this, isn't it the time where something like Okelampa come out and enlarge the monster?"

"Okelampa?" Mega Yellow said, "Oh you mean your equivalent of that Bibidebi of the Nejirejia Kingdom."

"It doesn't seem that Shibolena is in the mood to enlarge the monster." Ptera Ranger added, "Thank goodness. Without Daizyujin or something like that, we might not stand a chance."

Red Mask nodded at that notion. It looked like just as the enemy was deprived with their methods to enlarge the monsters, just like now and during the fight with Oni-baba, they were also deprived with their own robots, making the battle more ground-based, but this didn't mean they could relax. They must fight even harder…


Returning to the Bonds, it seemed that both Hoji and Chisato were undergoing a project, tweaking with machines. They preferred not to be disturbed. For hours, they worked in a locked room.

"I wonder what they're doing?" Mei asked Takeru as they both were snooping from the outside…

"Beats me. Maybe they're trying to make up for their argument back then." He gave a simple answer, before someone approached them from behind… Jiraiya.

"Hey." He called, "I'm just done baking up some crepes… Oh are they still on that project? Maybe this could be a great snack for them."

"Ah that'll be wonderful." Mei said, smiling as she also smelled the crepes which was on a plate that Jiraiya was carrying, "It smells good too!"

"Yeah, only problem is when they're gonna open up…" As Takeru said that, suddenly the door opened, causing the leaning Takeru to fall down. "Whoa!"

"Were you snooping around?" Hoji asked before he took a deep breath, "At any rate, we've finally done it."

"Done what?" Takeru asked.

"Here, take these." Chisato said as she handed down many of their communication devices… including the Masky Brace and the Doron Changer. "We implemented some devices so we can communicate to each other easier, rather than having incompatible issues due to different machines. We tested it on my Digitizer and Hoji's License, and it's a success."

"Oh, I understand that." Jiraiya nodded, "So, since I'm not side by side with the Kakurangers for now, I can detect and communicate with you guys from other teams, is that right?"

"Uh huh…" Chisato said, until she hung her head low, "Except Mei… I'm sorry, but for some reason there's no way we could get your Dino Buckler modified."

"I understand." Mei said, not worried, "It was a bit too mystical to become a communicator."

"Don't worry, though." Hoji said, handing her a different communicator, "You can use this. It's compatible with the rest."

"Thanks!" Mei smiled as she realized that she's not getting left behind.

"Anyway, ahem…" Hoji coughed up, "We also discussed several things when we're doing our project."

"And that being?" Curiously, Takeru asked.

"It's about the leadership thing. And we agreed that…" As Hoji said that, he put his hand on Takeru's shoulder, "You're the most fitting as leader, Takeru."

"Whoa… really?" Takeru asked, "But I'm not as technologically advanced as…"

"That doesn't matter, I agree with them." Jiraiya added, agreeing with Hoji, "Technology did not matter in leadership. You fit as our leader, and not just because you're the one with Red color, you know."

"Yes. Without your help and guidance, I really wouldn't be able to save the rest with the Shell Nejire." Chisato continued, "And you did cheer me up…"

"Takeru…" Mei then turned towards him, hoping that he'll accept it, as she also sensed great things from Takeru.

"Hm… Very well." Takeru finally nodded and smiled, accepting this position, "I will take the responsibility of leading you all. Together, we will be able to solve this mystery and eventually return home, saving the world and defeating Rufecil. For that…" As Takeru said that, he put his hand forward as a sign of trust and friendship. "I'll need your help and cooperation."

"No problem." Hoji put his hand on Takeru's as well, followed by Mei, Jiraiya and Chisato.

Finally, the team was further complete and united. However, their road is still a long one. Never give up, and keep on fighting! Super Sentai!


To be continued…


Author's note: Whew that's about it. Took me months to pick up my passion back and finish it, but here it was. Here's a hoping that this will continue. Oh, and the other fic as well. I don't plan on burying them yet! Toodles for now!
