A/N: Hey Mina, Emiri-chan is here! Finally I did an update since like March 5! Well, I was busy with things like finals and stuff for school. I got out in May, but sorry I couldn't update until now. I am back and ready for action!


"What are we supposed to do? The flames are almost to our feet!" Luna gripped her brother's wrist.

Chiyoko, Ryo, and Jun thought for a moment. "The only thing I could think of besides Ryo's mojikara is Takeshi's but he-," Chiyoko was interrupted by a voice.

"Guys!" They turned to see Takeshi and Takeru was chasing after him. "Otou-san, what do I do?"

"Takeshi, stop! You can't do anything; you are too weak!" Takeru orders. Takeshi ignored his father's orders. He took out his ShodoPhone and tries to write something in the air, but was too weak like his father said. "Damn, Takeshi! I knew you wouldn't be able to!"

"Then what am I supposed to do to save them? I can't let them burn!"

Chiyoko, Ryo, Luna, and Jun were all worried as they see the flames burning at their feet. "Hey! Hurry up!" Luna yelled.

Chiyoko look to her side at Ryo. "Ryo, could you try to put it out?" Ryo took out his ShodoPhone and slowly wrote the kanji for rain, aiming it at the sky. The character flipped then it disappeared in the sky as a small rain cloud appeared above their heads. It started to pour down raining as the fire was extinguishing. Ryo passes out in Chiyoko's arms.

Takeshi ran to his teammates to make sure they are okay. "Guys, daijoubu?"

Jun nodded. "Looks like we are. I think we should get everyone to the mansion so Chiyoko and Luna's wounds could be treated and Ryo could get some rest.:

"Yeah, good idea."

"This is just perfect! The Shinkenger are weakened, and we have their mojikara!" Suterusu exclaimed.

Kuromai looked at Suterusu questionably. "We? Who's we? You aren't apart of this. You are just my pawn to get their mojikara. Now, your time is up!" Kuromai turned his hand toward Suterusu sending a fire ball that makes him explode and not use his second life. "Shitaru, wake up my team."

"Yes, Kuromai-sama." Four bodies lay on the ground against the wall. Shitaru chanted something and all four of them woke up.

"Arigato, Shitaru-san for resurrecting us," thank the man with black shaggy hair wearing a dark blue jacket.

"Shibuki, you don't need to thank Shitaru," informed Kuromai.

The two women looked at each other. "Tatsumaki, do you think we should go out there and see how much everything has changed?" asked the woman with the shoulder-length light brown hair who was wearing a yellow striped shirt.

The other woman, Tatsumaki, had short dark brown hair. She wore a pink shirt under a leather black jacket. "I would think so. Care to join us Nokoshi?"

Nokoshi was a male with regular hair which was dark brown. He wore a green tank top with a leather jacket just like Tatsumaki's. "Sure, and maybe we could visit your favorite spot, Ganseki." Nokoshi wrapped his arm around Tatsumaki.

"I think that would be fun." Shibuki insisted.

Kuromai smirked. "How about you guys go and enjoy the city for now."

"You don't want to come?" Ganseki asked her Lord.

Kuromai nodded. "Yes, I don't think I should. The Shinkenger already have seen my human form."

"Shinkenger? You fought the Shinkenger without us?" Nokoshi asked a bit aggressive hurting Tatsumaki's shoulder.

"Well, I could get a different human form."

The four looked at each other. "Just go out there and grab a human then come back here." Ganseki informed.

"Maybe. Be right back." Kuromai disappeared in the flames and appeared in an alley. He noticed how light it still was. Not many people were out on the street. "Perfect." The tribe's leader walked the path in a nearby park. He made it to the street seeing a teenaged male listening to his music. Kuromai walked up behind him. He snapped the male's neck and disappeared in the flames with him.

The four watched as their leader comes back with the human. Kuromai's soul comes out of the body it was in and entered the dead male on the floor. "Oh, I may like this new Kuro-sama," Ganseki remarked. She ran her hand through his black ear-length hair which was covered by a hat. She then took the red jacket off the other body handing it to Kuromai.

"Arigato, Ganseki. I should reward you for remembering my jacket." He wrapped his arm around her waist bringing her closer.

"Oh, Kuro-sama." Ganseki blushed.

"Hey, hey. Break it up you two." Shibuki threatened.

Ganseki smiled at the two. "Oh, Shi-kun, there is no need to get jealous." She trailed her finger in a circle on his chest and looked him in the eyes which made him blush. "How about we all go now?"

He gulped and tried to hold the blush. "O-Okay." He hated when his ex-girlfriend did this.

VxV

Ryo woke up in his room. He recalled no memory of earlier that day. He got up, a little weak but full of energy, and walked to the main room of the mansion. Everyone was reading up on this new Gedoushuu. Takeshi walked up behind Ryo. "Hey you okay?" The others look up from their books.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Shiba-sama. What happened earlier?" Ryo asked.

"You don't remember?" Jun questioned. Ryo shook his head. "He might have been too weak."

Chiyoko and Luna looked at each other. "You know what? We should go out. Get our minds off of the Gedoushuu right now," Chiyoko requested. They nod. "Good then let's go."

Everyone got up and quickly went to their rooms to get changed. Takeshi walked over to his father once he finished changing. "Takeshi, here. You should wear this." Takeru handed his son his old vest he used to wear. Takeshi slipped on the vest and smiled.

The others came out from their rooms after changing. They noticed Takeshi wearing Takeru's vest. Chiyoko smiled and walked over to Takeshi. "That vest suits you, Takeshi-sama," she commented.

"Arigato, Chiyoko," he thanked. "Let's go, Mina." They nod as the group left the mansion.

VxV

"Kuro-sama, what should we do right now?" Ganseki asked.

Kuromai looked at his mate with Shibuki's arm around her waist. He rolled his eyes then looked at Tatsumaki and Nokoshi. "Let's go to an amusement park. That's what human's do when they hang out."

"Oh, that's sounds like fun. After all, that's a great place to cause trouble." Tatsumaki liked. The rest of the group all agreed to the idea.

Meanwhile, people's screams come from the roller-coaster. The samurai look around. Jun pulled his sister to a cotton candy stand. The person at the booth handed them each a free cotton candy. The twins thanked the man and went back to join the group. "This is so fun! Chiyoko this was a great idea!" Luna exclaimed. Chiyoko smiled at her friend.

More screams were heard in the crows. These screams weren't of joy. Takeshi looked over to see a group of teenagers fighting some others in the crowd. "Hey, guys, look over there."

"Is that all? Probably just trying to get some money back that got stolen. I don't know." Ryo looked at his Lord. "I don't think it is worth checking out."

Takeshi rolls his eyes. "Well, I think it is." Their Lord walked through the crowd to the five teens. "Hey! Stop it!"

The teen in the red jacket looked up from the person he and his group were beating up on the ground. "Oh, it's you."

"You know me?"

"Oh, yes, of course. You are one of the Shinkenger, aren't you?" He looks at the four that come up from behind Takeshi. "You all are, right?"

They all look at each other then back to the group. "Why are you causing so much trouble?" Chiyoko asked.

The one in the pink shirt and leather jacket answered, "We just want to."

The other female agreed, "It's fun. Plus, we wanted to draw you guys out, but apparently you are already here." An earthquake occurred under the samurai's feet. The yellow teen smirked as her eyes changed colors.

"What the hell?" Luna shouted.

"Ganseki, calm down." The red jacket one commanded. Ganseki stopped the earthquake.

Luna thought, "Ganseki? I read about that name. She is the Earth member in the Element Tribe!"

"Bingo!" Ganseki congratulated. "That's me."

Jun continued, "That means… the others are a part of the Element Tribe."

"That's right, and this is your demise, Shinkenger." Nokoshi added. "What do you want us to do, Kuromai?"

Kuromai chuckled. "Well, we kill them of course." Kuromai takes out his ElementPhone and the others do as well. "Akuhitsu!" They use the mojikara they obtained to henshin. They all unsheathe their Gedoumaru.

"Fire Member of the Element Tribe: Kuromai!"

"Earth Member of the Element Tribe: Ganseki!"

"Air Member of the Element Tribe: Tatsumaki!"

"Wood Member of the Element Tribe: Nokoshi!"

"Water Member of the Element Tribe: Shibuki!"

The samurai quickly take out their ShodoPhones. "ShodoPhone! Ippitsu Soujou!" They wrote their respected kanji in the air then henshin. The unsheathe their Shinkenmaru.

"ShinkenRed, Shiba Takeshi!"

"Onajiku Blue, Ikenami Ryo!"

"Onajiku Pink, Shiraishi Chiyoko!"

"Onajiku Green, Tani Jun!"

"Onajiku Yellow, Hanaori Luna!"

Kuromai smirked behind his helmet. "This is going to be fun." The Element Tribe charged toward the Shinkenger. The samurai do the same. Each member fought their opposites.

Ryo and Shibuki clashed sabers. Shibuki smirked as his eyes changed from a deep brown to a bright blue which was visible through his visor. Ryo back away, but was consumed from behind by a gigantic tidal wave. He fell to the ground coughing as water cracked his visor and got into his helmet.

Ganseki kept creating earthquakes under Luna's feet making the yellow samurai collapse. Ganseki rushed toward Luna picking her up by the neck. "Baka, you are not fit to be a samurai!" Ganseki threw Luna back and hovered a boulder to make her fly into it.

Chiyoko and Jun were fighting alongside each other since apparently the two Gedoushuu were together. They both changed their Shinkenmaru to their respected weapons. Tatsumaki and Nokoshi looked at each other shaking their heads. "Stupid Shinkenger. Do you think those weapons will affect us?" yelled Tatsumaki. She spun the Gedoumaru in circles in her hands quickly and it changed into a fan much like Chiyoko's except it was black were the white was.

Tatsumaki let go of the fan much like Luna would her Land Slicer. It soared through the air and the ends became blades. It was too late to dodge; Chiyoko and Jun got slashed in the chest and fell to the ground. "Nice, babe."

Takeshi tried to use his mojikara from his ShodoPhone, but Kuromai kept dodging, blocking or deflecting the attacks. Takeshi fell to his knees as he tried to do another, but failed. Kuromai just laughed at his failure. "You are nothing! This is good; this will be able to be done quickly." Kuromai walked to Takeshi, who felt helpless. Quickly he looked over to his vassals. They were also in trouble. Kuromai held his blade to Takeshi's throat. "This is your end, ShinkenRed!" Kuromai held up his blade. Something ended up attacking his face.

The Element Tribe Leader stumbled back and swats the pest away. "Takeshi! It would help to keep your origami with you. It can save your life at times," announced a male voice.

Takeshi and Kuromai looked over to see Takeru standing there. "Otou-san!" Takeru gestured for his ShodoPhone. Takeshi quickly threw it to his father.

Takeru pressed the silver little button causing Takeshi to dehenshin. Takeru switched it to brush mode. "Ippitsu Soujou!" As he flipped the kanji of fire a glow surrounded him creating a suit and helmet. "ShinkenRed, Shiba Takeru!" The other Element members look up from their enemies as did the Shinkenger. "Kuromai, you are my opponent!"

Kuromai retracted his Gedoumaru away from Takeshi and smirked behind his helmet. "This ought to be fun." He took a few steps so his position was only a few feet from Takeru. The Element Tribe members gather up their opposites holding them by their necks. Kuromai took out his Element Phone and wrote the kanji for flames and directed it back toward his Gedoumaru. Flames surrounded his blade as he aimed the tip toward Takeru.

Takeru placed the ShiShi Disc on the hilt of the Shinkenmaru. After spinning the disc, flames engulfed the blade. "Seems we can do the same thing, but different ways." Takeru moved the blade up and then toward the ground in a slash. "Kaen no Mai!"

Kuromai blocked the attack with his sword and absorbed the mojikara in the Gedoumaru. "Rookie shot, eh?" Kuromai slashed, but with more force than Takeru. Takeru's eyes widened at the speed of the attack.

He shielded himself from the attack then heard a cry of pain. Looking back to the scene, Takeru saw his own son in front of him and on the ground. "Takeshi!"

"Takeshi-sama!" Ryo yelled and Shibuki gripped his neck tighter.

Takeshi held his chest as he lay on the ground bleeding. Takeru knelt by his son's side and was too shocked to speak. His hand gripped the hilt of his Shinkenmaru. He slowly got up and placed the common disc back on his sword. His Shinkenmaru changes into his Rekka Daizanto. Takeru walked past his son and rushed toward the leader of the Tribe. He slashed him with the gigantic sword and made him fly back toward his teammates.

"Kuro-sama!" Ganseki yelled as she dropped Luna. The others were also worried about their lord. Ganseki, Shibuki, and Tatsumaki ran to him. Nokoshi stayed back to handle the four Shinkenger.

He wrote the kanji for vines and sent them toward the four. The vines wrapped them to keep them away from the fight. If they tried to struggle the vines tightened. Nokoshi went to his leader's side with the others. "Kuromai, are you okay?"

Kuromai held himself up on his back with his elbows. "I'm fine. Get away from me! Let me handle this samurai," he said.

The others backed away from him, shocked. Kuromai gripped his Gedoumaru as he stood "ShinkenRed! Your life is over!" Takeru ran toward Kuromai. Kuromai wrote the kanji for inferno and the mojikara took over the blade. He spun the sword around his head then slashed forward.

Takeru got ready and blocked the attack with the Rekka Daizanto, but the blast was a little strong making Takeru slide back some.

Kuromai did the same attack and sent it toward Takeru again. Takeru dodged it this time as he Rekka Daizanto changed back to the Shinkenmaru. Kuromai was on him now, "Die!" Takeru blocked the slash with the Shinkenmaru.

The other samurai struggled to get out of the vines. Luna took out her ShodoPhone which made the vines tightened since she moved. She wrote the kanji for rock and aimed it at her hand. A small, but sharp rock appeared in her hand. She began to cut the vines with the rock. She got about half way before a blast struck her wrist making her drop it.

"Nice try samurai," said Ganseki. She kicked the rock away from Luna. "You aren't going to get out of that hold."

Luna used as much as of her strength to pull her shoulders back to rip the rest of the vines apart with the help of her brother. The others felt the vines loosen then dropped off.

"Nice, Luna-chan!" Ryo announced as they got up from their spots on the ground.

Ganseki was surprised at how strong Luna was. "Shibuki, Nokoshi, Tatsumaki! They got out of the hold!"

The others quickly ran to Ganseki's side. They watch as the samurai quickly get up to face the four of them. The samurai take out their ShodoPhone and wrote their respected kanji. "Ippitsu Soujou!" Their kanji surrounded their bodies and create their suit and helmets.

"ShinkenBlue, Ikenami Ryo!" he shouted and was happy that his visor wasn't cracked anymore.

"ShinkenPink, Shiraishi Chiyoko!"

"ShinkenGreen, Tani Jun!"

"ShinkenYellow, Hanaori Luna!"

Each of them held their weapons in front of them while the four members got ready to attack. Tatsumaki and Nokoshi jump up in front of the group and sent waves of mojikara at them. Chiyoko and Jun move in front and blocked the attacks. "Ryo, Luna, we'll handle these two."

They nodded and moved in toward Ganseki and Shibuki. The water and earth samurai held their Shinkenmaru out in front of them. Ganseki and Shibuki took out their Gedoumaru and got into a stance. "Ganseki, you can take your own element right?"

"Of course I can!" Ganseki ran in toward Luna and swung her sword. Luna quickly blocked it with hers. "Why you little…" Ganseki back up and took out her ElementPhone which was black and had yellow rocks on it. She wrote the kanji for 'rock fall'. The mojikara flew above Luna and turned into a couple of boulders which fell toward the ground and Luna.

Luna quickly dodged, but still got hit in the shoulder by one of the boulders. Luna placed the Saru disc on the hilt of her Shinkenmaru. "Tsuchikemuri no Mai!" Luna let out the attack, but Ganseki blocked it.

"Nice try samurai!" Ganseki wrote the kanji for sandstorm, aimed it at her Gedoumaru and it erupted in a glow of yellow sand. "Sunaarashi no Kiru!" She unleashed the attack.

Luna tried to dodge, but was too slow. She got hit in the gut and was pushed back into a nearby ride.

"Luna-chan!" Ryo exclaimed. Before he could go after Ganseki, Shibuki blocked his path.

"Not going to happen." Shibuki held out his Gedoumaru to his neck and backed Ryo up. He ran his blade up and pulled down, but Ryo had his Shinkenmaru in his hand before the sword struck his chest. Ryo pushed the blade away from him. Shibuki pulled back from where he was and wrote the kanji for 'tsunami' and aimed it at his Gedoumaru. His blade was surrounded by waves. "Tsunami no Kiru!" Het let the attack fly and hit Ryo into a tree. "Easy enough."

Ryo got up just before Shibuki turned around. "Not quite." He spun his Shinkenmaru around his head at the same time he spun his common disc. "Water Arrow!" Ryo charged up his attack and aimed in the air. "Arrow Barrage!" Arrows were formed form the one arrow he shot in the air.

Shibuki looked up and tried to dodge, but multiple arrows hit him before he could try to move. Shibuki fell to the ground, and the arrows weren't stopping. Ryo aimed an arrow toward Shibuki and let it go. The arrow hit square in his chest making Shibuki dehenshin. The arrows stopped as Shibuki held his chest in pain. "You win this time, samurai." Shibuki wrote the kanji for transport and disappeared.

Luna was getting up when Ganseki walked over to her. The Gedou lifted her up by the neck against the ride. "You Shinkenger are weak little pests."

Luna was starting to turn red behind her helmet. "We are not weak." She coughed. "We will beat you."

"I want to see that happen." Ganseki held her Gedoumaru up to Luna's chest near her heart. "So long, ShinkenYellow." Ganseki went to push in the blade, but an earthquake occurred making her let go off Luna and the Gedoumaru.

"You aren't meant to kill her!" a female voice shouted toward Ganseki.

Ganseki turned around to see a female Ayakashi. "And who are you to tell me I can't."

"Chikyu Hime, the Princess of the Earth Element. She is my enemy, my rival. I won't let you kill her." Chikyu Hime held up her staff and sent a wave of energy toward Ganseki.

The Earth member dodged the wave making it hit Luna instead. Ganseki shouted at Chikyu Hime. "I'm not going to deal with this." She wrote the kanji for transport and disappeared just like Shibuki.

Chikyu Hime looked over to Luna who was dehenshin on the ground. "I could kill you now, but I will let you live another day, ShinkenYellow. I would not want to kill you then die from betrayal right after." She turned to leave, but stopped to add something. "Oh, I forgot. Tell my mother I said 'Hi.'" Chikyu Hime left through the cracks leaving Luna confused about the last comment.

Ryo ran toward Luna. "You okay?"

She nodded and used his shoulder to get up. "Yeah, I'm fine, just a little injured. What happened to Shibuki?"

"I took care of him."

Meanwhile, Chiyoko was thrown back into one of the rides. Jun ran to her side and helped her up. They looked over toward Tatsumaki and Nokoshi. "Nokoshi-kun, could you handle them for me?" She looked up at him and he nodded.

"Sure, my love. I would do anything for you." He opened his ElementPhone and wrote the kanji for vines again and sent it toward the two samurai. Vines wrapped around the two of them. "How about that?"

Tatsumaki smiled behind her helmet. "Perfect." She wrote the kanji for wind and aimed it at her Gedoumaru. It was surrounded by pink wind. "Hame no Kiru!"

The attack hit the two of them breaking the vines in the process. They collapsed to the ground. "Let's get this over with," Jun growled. Chiyoko agreed. They took out their Shinkenmaru and spun their appropriate discs. "Kogarashi no Mai!"

"Tenku no Mai!" The two sent their attacks toward their rivals.

"Not so fast!" Tatsumaki made a tornado appear and sent their attacks back at them. They fell back to the ground. Ryo and Luna showed up to help, but Luna sat out on this one.

Ryo looked at his teammates as they got up. Chiyoko and Jun nodded and took out their ShodoPhones. Each wrote the kanji for something different. Jun wrote the kanji for roots and sent it toward Tatsumaki and Nokoshi's feet. The roots grew around their ankles, trapping them to the ground unable to move. Ryo wrote the kanji for rain and Chiyoko wrote wind which combined to make a hurricane.

Jun smirked and unsheathed his Shinkenmaru. He jumped into the hurricane and let it guide him to the tribe members. He controlled it enough and jumped out, slashing the trapped members.

They were blinded for a moment. When they were able to see again, the hurricane disappeared, and Ryo and Chiyoko came from behind the hurricane then slashed then. The roots released their ankles and they both fell to the ground to dehenshin. Tatsumaki and Nokoshi both wrote the kanji for transport. They disappeared right after.

Jun, Ryo, and Chiyoko all walked back to Luna. "Now, all that's left is Kuromai. Let's see how Takeru is handling him."

VxV

Takeshi was watching his father and Kuromai fight head to head. In one moment, Takeru was attacking Kuromai, and then at another Kuromai had the upper hand. His teammates joined him. "They are at each other's throats. They are completely even. Nothing is going to beat either of them. It's like he is trying to prove something."

"He might be, Takeshi. He might be trying to show you that you can't be steadily fighting Kuromai." Jun suggested.

Ryo agreed, "He is the strongest of the group after all. If you are fighting him all the time, nothing will get done."

Takeshi looked to his vassals. "So what he is trying to say is that since I'm the leader, I need to be the strongest."

"You are the strongest, Takeshi-sama," mentioned Chiyoko.

"You just need to show it, that's all," Luna continued.

Takeshi nodded and smiled. "Thanks, guys."

They all heard a scream and looked up to see Kuromai dehenshin on the ground. "This isn't over, Shinkenger!" he then disappeared in flames.

Takeru walked over to his son and friends. He dehenshin and so did the rest of them. "Learn your lesson, Takeshi?"

Takeshi nodded and looked at his father. "Yes, Otou-san. I did. Thank you for showing me."

Takeru smirked and helped his son up and wrapped his arm over his shoulder. "You're welcome, son."

VxV

Takeshi lay in his room as the kuroko tend to his wounds. He thought about the lesson his father showed him. Then he thought about his friends: how they all stood by him. A smile crossed his lips. "My friends. My father."

Ryo, Jun, Luna, and Chiyoko were all in the main room eating dinner. "Chiyoko, your food is so good!" Jun complimented. "I wish you could cook like this every night!"

Chiyoko blushed, "You know I can't do that because of school."

"I always wondered. Why don't you go to school Ryo?" Luna asked. "You are younger than Chiyoko and Takeshi."

Ryo took a bite of hos food then swallowed. "Well, I already graduated."

Jun almost spit out his food. "How? Luna and I graduated, but we are like what: two years older than you?"

Luna nodded. "Yeah, we graduated just last year a couple of months before all of us became Shinkenger."

"I did too. I skipped some grades since they said I picked up on the material too fast."

Jun and Luna looked at him and shook their heads then continued eating.

Chiyoko just laughed. She then thought about today. "Hey, guys, what are we going to do when the Element Tribe comes back? We just got lucky this time."

"Chiyoko's right. We have to figure out a plan." Ryo inquired.

"If we don't, we will get destroyed." Jun added making Luna rub her bandages.

Takeru came out from around the corner. "Don't worry about that right now. I know this team will beat them." They all looked up and smiled at Takeru.

VxV

The Element Tribe sat in their cave and healed up. Shibuki had a bandage around his chest and Tatsumaki and Nokoshi were being bandages by Ganseki. "Don't throw yourself away over this, Ganseki," Nokoshi stated as she was wrapping his head.

"This is just going to get in the way of finishing off the Shinkenger. Chikyu Hime needs to mind her own business," Ganseki growled.

Shitaru cut in, "If you don't mind me saying, she is my creation. Chikyu Hime had a bad past relating to ShinkenYellow. They are cousins."

Ganseki's eyes widened and was in shock. "Are you kidding?"

"Not at all. Ms. Akemi sold her soul to get back at her cousin for stealing her respected spot as a Shinkenger. So, you might want to watch your back Ganseki."

"Watch my back? Ha! If she thinks she is going to do anything to me, she has another thing coming."


A/N: Oh.. Ganseki has some competition in trying to kill Luna... Poor Luna-chan has two threats to look for. What did you think about Takeshi learning a lesson? Review and tell me what you guys think! Update coming soon, I hope.
