*KyoryuRed walked into the studio and looked around, curious as his team followed him in*
KyoryuBlack: Where are the lights?
KyoryuRed: Dunno…
KyoryuPink: Hmm… I think they got something of a surprise for us?
*After a moment, the lights turned on. Alongside Pikatwig and KKD were ChangeDragon, Red Flash, GingaRed, NinjaRed, Tyrannoranger, Ryuuranger, GaoRed, TimeRed, MagiRed, DekaRed, AbareRed, Kabutoraiger, ShinkenRed, GoseiRed, GokaiRed, Red Buster, Tokkyu1, Go-On Red, AkaNinger, ZyuohEagle, and ShishiRed*
Pikatwig: Surprise!
KKD: Happy Fifth Birthday, Kyoryuger!
KyoryuBlue: NANI?!
Pikatwig: Kyoryuger has officially turned five years old today.
KyoryuRed: Wow…
Daigo: Oi! Wrong versions! *runs in with the others*
Pikatwig: ...hi Daigo.
KKD: What took you so long?
Daigo: Your dumb limo brought these guys instead of us!
Nossan: Two sets of Kyoryugers, huh? Well let's hope we don't get too kyoryu-fused. *gets look* Supposed to be like… confused.
Amy: Oh, Nossan… *sighs*
Yayoi: Ah… there's that trademark humor…
Utchy: So… where are the remaining versions of us in their reality?
Pikatwig: Uh… we'll talk about that later.
KKD: It's complicated at the moment.
Pikatwig: So… anyway… things to discuss… a new Kyoryuger episode has appeared in cross promotion with a video game. We'll be doing something to honor it in the future. ...actually… think it might've been about the Kyoryugers in honor of their fifth anniversary?
KKD: Yea. Not sure if we'll be able to get it in on time, but we'll do our best.
ShishiRed: Wow… two Kyoryugers… yosha lucky!
Pikatwig: …
KKD: You get used to it…
Pikatwig: Wanna know how many times he said that?
Daigo: How many?
Pikatwig: A grand total of 156.
Daigo: Wow…
KKD: Yea...
Pikatwig: And that's just the episodes of the show proper… and the Ex-Aid cameo.
KKD: Yikes.
Pikatwig: Yea.
KKD: I can't imagine how many more he's said it.
Pikatwig: So… there'll be one small announcement for this chapter here. No Super Hero Time. The next Kamen Rider Hero chapter has not even been started just yet and this is on the birthday of the Kyoryuger.
KKD: So you can think of this one as more of a special episode.
Pikatwig: ...or more like the Hero episode was… pre-empted. That happens every so often. The Kamen Rider episode didn't air because of some sporting event or somethin'.
KKD: I guess so. Maybe now the same thing may happen to Sentai. But who knows at this point?
Pikatwig: All to likely… dumb ratings causing Sentai to air second.
KKD: Yea… still can't believe they're still relying on ratings. It's not that reliable, honestly.
Pikatwig: True that. Anyway… let's begi-
ShishiRed: Where'd the cake go?!
LupinRed: Bonjour. *everybody looked to see he was there with the cake* Yokokosuru… *heads off*
PatorenIchigou: Get back here! *chases after him*
Pikatwig: ...k.
KKD: Oi vey… I thought we'd get that handled before their show aired… *groans* Sorry, but we need the Dekarangers or SOMEBODY to help stop their needless fighting and get back the cake!
DekaMaster: I'll get it… *heads off*
Pikatwig: ...let's just begin.

Yoshiaki, Hideo, Hyotaru and Chiko all sat outside a museum and were waiting around for Kaori to show up.
"The museum is only having the discount today… so I wanna go today… where is she?!" Hideo complained.
"She said she had to git ready for the visit, dummy…" Chiko reminded.
"'Git ready' how?"
"Sorry, sorry," Kaori apologized as she hurried over.
The group looked at her to see she had a large hat, sunglasses, and wearing a pink jacket with a white top and white pants.
"Uh… what's with that?" Hyotaru asked.
"I'm famous…" she whispered, "Sometimes fans can't keep away from me, so I need to make sure I'm incognito much of the time."
"You've been around without much issue before…" Hideo reminded.
"...now, I've had some fans be an issue. It's a little complicated, but I'd rather be safe…"
"That's fair," Yoshiaki told her.
Hideo blinked a bit as he looked at her, "...there's just one issue with your little 'disguise' idea."
"Being…?"
Hideo pointed down and the others saw Kaori was still barefoot.
"Huh?" Kaori blinked as she noticed where he was pointing, "Oh. Yea…"
"...your disguise fails because everybody knows that's your thing."
"Not many people everyday look down there that often, so I think it'll work…" Kaori responded.
"...can we just go in now?" Yoshiaki sighed.
"Let's."
Kyoryu… plus kaijin! After billions of years… the strongest and bravest team in history reforms to protect the Earth! So get ready… to HEAR OUR ROAR~!

Brave 09: Quest of a Mace
The group was now within the Tokyo National Museum and simply looking around at art that lined the walls.
"This wonderful work is simply beautiful…" Hideo smiled.
"...ah'm bored…" Chiko sighed.
"We haven't even been here ten minutes…"
"Ya, but this is borin'..."
"Please try to cheer up," Kaori smiled, "We're here to relax. It's our time to have some fun."
"Shh… please…" a museum attendant told them.
"Sorry…" they apologized.
The group continued to explore the museum, looking over everything from the pieces of artwork and sculptures there, to the more historical set pieces like Sengoku armor and weapons to the massive dinosaur skeleton collections.
"Wow…" the five gawked.
"Yea…" some other people nodded.
Hideo noticed some of the bones and realized they were of Pachycephalosaurus. He gave them a sigh as an attendant walked over.
"Ah. Want to hear about this dinosaur, huh?" the attendant asked.
"...sure," Hideo shrugged.
"Well, the Pachycephalosaurus is one of the more unusual dinosaurs out there. There have been fossils that were originally presumed to be of other species, but now we know they were life stages of this beast as it developed its iconic head dome. No one knows what it may have been used for, but a long standing theory was it was used for a mating ritual like bulls and antelopes. They lived in the era of the late Cretaceous Period, but not alongside some of the more famous theropods like Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Triceratops," the attendant said.
Hideo took a moment to take in what the attendant had told them while examining the beast's remains. He gave a small chuckle as the attendant and some other people had left, "Quel fou…"
"...what?" the other two boys blinked.
"...'what a fool'," Hideo sighed before he looked up, "He clearly is just working with speculations. I mean… using their heads for a mating ritual? That's just stupid. They used them to mark territory and to get food. ...again, quel fou."
"Almost as silly as them thinking that stegos lived in a different era than the tyrannos and stuff," Hyotaru added, "Believe it or not, many of the dinosaurs lived at the exact same time and people lived with them."
Yoshiaki simply rolled his eyes a little bit at his two partners before he realized something, "Uh… where did the girls go?"
Chiko had ended up wandering around bored as she attempted to find something interesting. Then, she happened to find an area with quite a bit of color and where all the kids seemed to be gathering. She curiously walked in on to see a sort of kids area, allowing her to see numerous play areas and something with blank t-shirts.
"Wow…" she gawked as she walked around, "Looks like fun…"
"Chiko," Kaori spoke as she found her, "Please don't walk off…"
"Sorry, Onee-chan. Just… Ah wanted to find somethn' fun…" Chiko apologized before she perked up, "But Ah did find somethin' fun."
"...I guess it does look fun…" Kaori admitted. With a smile, Kaori allowed Chiko to go and have some fun.
"This place isn't that big… how could we have lost them that easily?" Hideo groaned as he rubbed his forehead, "Seriously, I'm getting tired of them and how lax they are. How can they be so lax when we have things to do…?"
Hyotaru shrugged in response
Yoshiaki, meanwhile, was looking at a pamphlet containing the history of dinosaurus and marking down mistakes, "Honestly… look at some of this… pterodactyl is the actual name, not Pteranodon, spinosauruses are as large as T-Rexes and amphibious to an extent, and dimetrodons did live with dinosaurs."
"...did they?" Hyotaru asked.
"Yes. I was gonna make a dimetrodon a Zyudenryu prototype, but you guys messed it up when you were still evil and forced me to use a spino as the prototype."
"Focus… please…" Hideo growled.
Yoshiaki gave a nod before he noticed something in the pamphlet, "And this information about archelons is inaccurate. These bones that are claimed to make a mere framework for a leather or bony carapace is actually the remains of the shell. Not every single piece of the true shell survived the weathering process of fossilization."
Hideo grabbed the pamphlet and then bonked Yoshiaki upside the head with it.
"...I am our leader, you know…" Yoshiaki reminded with an annoyed look.
"And I'm our second-in-command."
Yoshiaki blinked a bit before he tried to stifle his laughter.
"...what?"
"...you? The second-in-command? Seriously?" Yoshiaki asked, "Puh-lease! You'd be third-in-command at best."
"...who IS our second-in-command then?"
"Kaori."
"...Wait, seriously? Our second-in-command is the candy-colored singer who has an odd obsession with being barefoot all the time? This is a joke, right?"
"Nope," Yoshiaki responded, "Out of all of you, she's the one I'd put my trust in the without hesitation. Hyotaru is trustworthy, but he just isn't able to call shots so easily. No offense. Chiko is the youngest of us, so she doesn't have the understanding for such a role. As for you, Hideo… you're just to stuck up and overly focused."
"Being focused is what makes a leader!"
"And yet you're too focused that you don't realize when you need to have a break and even if you take a break, you're just not fully relaxed. You're serious to a fault. A leader needs to know when to be series and to be able to relax."
"Hyotaru! Back me up here!"
Yoshiaki simply walked away as he could tell this was going to not end anytime soon. He then noticed the kid section where Chiko was messing around and Kaori, still disguised, was just watching something. He then turned towards the others, "Guys. I found the girls."
"Finally…"
They all walked over to the kid section to see Kaori monitoring her sister and watching something be worked on.
"Hey guys," Kaori greeted.
"Whatcha up to?" Yoshiaki asked.
"I was watching Chiko, but then I saw this," Kaori informed as she motioned over to something being worked on, "Printmaking. This is surprisingly cool, but we'll all get some cool shirts to take home."
"Yea… that's neat," Yoshiaki smiled.
"...guys…" Hideo growled.
Kaori got her shoulder tapped. She then turned to see the five printmade shirts were done.
"That'll be 5,315.75 yen, please," the person running the stand informed.
"No prob," Kaori smiled as she paid the amount and got the five shirts.
Hideo simply groaned a bit as he swatted Kaori's hat off in frustration. People nearby all turned to see her.
"Wait, is that Kaori-chan?" one person asked.
"Oh my gosh, it is!" another smiled.
"...uh oh…" Kaori muttered as she got Chiko.
"...smooth move…" Yoshiaki sighed as they all got running.
The group managed to get back to their base, panting a bit, as they all sat down to try and relax.
"...again… smooth move," Yoshiaki told Hideo.
"What?"
"You forced us to leave. I wouldn't have called that fine examples of a leader or a second-in-command."
"I got us back safely, didn't I?!"
"That doesn't change the fact that you forced us to leave…"
Hideo growled as he changed back into Endolf, "I have a headache! Why do those idiots have to do this so much?!"
Endolf walked off in a huff, ready to just ignore the group, as he passed by Yayoi and Amy. The duo were hard at work on differing tasks while making sure to relax a little every so often. Endolf just looked at them for a moment before he headed back to what was his living area.
"...what's with him?" Amy asked.
"No idea," Yayoi shrugged.
"He ruined my disguise and forced us to leave the museum," Kaori informed, "I can't believe the jerk…"
"Well… I can't blame people for chasing you. You are easily the best singer in the world, so…" Amy commented.
Kaori simply smiled as Amy smiled at her in response. Amy and Yayoi then simply continued what they were doing.
"So… an update on your home I've been working on…" Amy began, "It's taking a bit to get all the materials, considering how much of each you requested to have something special, and then making sure we get the permits. It might take a bit longer than we thought, but you all will get a nice home."
"Thanks," Hyotaru smiled.
The others smiled before they all headed to their own devices to relax.
"So… what are you up to again?" Amy asked Yayoi.
"Trying to get a better tracking system for the Zyudenryu going. You know, to make sure we can locate the rest of them. They said something about looking for a golden ptera…"
"Golden… ptera…" Amy muttered as she thought about it for a moment and imagined a pterodactyl skeleton that was made of solid gold.
"You ok?"
"Just a silly thought."
Meanwhile, back at the Deboss base, Chaos was watching as the podiums where emotional energy was shuffling to try and pick an emotion.
"And today the emotion shall be… sorrow."
Weihab walked up to the podium and watched as a Debo Monster that looked like a yellow-skinned creature with green lines all depicting some kind of maze with pink eyes, a pink arrow at the top of his head along with a flag that said "Goal" on it.
"I am Debo Kokodoko!"
"So… how do you gather up energy?" Deizarus asked.
"I gather it by trapping them in a maze dimension, and make them despair over deceased loved ones. Or by their hopelessness of getting stuck in a maze with no way out."
"Go to a heavily populated area and do your plan. Just… not Japan. I'd say… try China. Lots of people… and good food… but lots of people…" Chaos said.
"Chaos, are you feeling alright?" Deizarus inquired.
"...what? Tsuraira went there to gather energy and brought back food. It was good."
Kokodoko just blinked before he headed off to do his job.
"Another signal?" Hideo blinked.
"These are popping up all over now," Hyotaru added as Yayoi had pointed to a signal for a Zyudenryu and a general location for another.
"I'd say the one in China is a better place to go since it's more exact," Yayoi commented.
"China, huh?" Kaori smiled as she gave a wav, "Nihao!"
"...what?" the others blinked.
"It's Chinese for 'hello'."
"...you can speak Chinese?" Hideo inquired.
"...I just know 'nihao'..." Kaori admitted.
"Oh… I see. In that case… let's just be quick."
The group soon arrived in China, specifically around a place called "The Sea of Bamboo Park", and were searching for any clear signs of the Zyudenryu of the area.
"...man… this is so stuffy…" Chiko complained as she had to push a bamboo branch out of her way.
"Just hang in there, Chiko. We're going to make it through this soon enough," Yoshiaki commented, "Besides, considering we don't know who we're looking for, it could be as simple as just looking for somewhere a giant metallic dinosaur could be hiding."
"Uh… guys?" Hideo called out as he pointed over to a large mountain that had a large marking, "Looks like it's ol' hardhead."
"...well… that just made things more difficult…" Yoshiaki sighed.
"Why?" Chiko asked.
"Because Bunpachy is a big ol' fan of testing people before he shows himself. It can become a bit of a hassle, but we gotta persevere."
Hideo gave a nod as he walked forward and the others tailed behind him. The group continued to walk through the park for what was basically several hours, unaware of something messing with their progress. They soon came across a fork in the road and a sign with Chinese symbols.
"So… what do those mean?" Chiko inquired.
"Hang on a minute, I got a translation book for Chinese to French…" Hideo informed as he took out a book from his pocket.
Kaori then looked at the sign and saw a drawing under the symbols that insinuated going left would lead them out and right would lead them further in, "Or… this sign says we go right."
"...or somebody could've doodled on the sign to trick people…" Hideo responded.
"Let's put it to vote. Who trusts our second-in-command?" Yoshiaki asked before he and Chiko raised their hands, "All who don't?"
Only Hideo raised his hand.
"Well, it's settled. We follow Kaori."
Hideo growled for a moment as he summoned his Gaburicalibur and slashed off a branch in anger. He then simply continued to follow the others with an annoyed look.
"We've been walkin' fer hours, Onee-chan. Can we go back now?" Chiko asked.
"I'm sorry Nee-chan, but we gotta be getting close now. I can feel it!"
The group then came across a sign.
"Uh… guys?" Hideo began, "We've been here before."
"No we haven't. The sign's different," Kaori informed.
"I slashed a branch here earlier… still the same…"
"Eh? Maji de?!" Yoshiaki gasped as he looked, "...the directions are different, but… he left a sign. So… we walked in a strange loop."
"We're never gettiin' outta here!" Chiko sobbed
"Don't go saying things like that!" Kaori said comfortingly.
"And you all didn't trust me… vous etes tous des idiots!"
"...I may have only recognized part of that, but I know you called us idiots," Yoshiaki groaned.
Hyotaru just blinked before he sensed something behind them, "Sorrow energy…"
"Finally! I got some energy!" the Debo Monster cheered.
"Nani?!" the group gasped.
"Wait… maybe revealing myself was a bad idea…"
"Minna, ikou!" Yoshiaki yelled as they all got out their gear.
"Brave In!" they all yelled, only for the Zyudenshi to not activate.
"And we got a problem…"
"We won't be able to transform?!" Hideo yelled before he groaned.
"Perfect! And now..." the monster cheered as he charged up a blast and flung it forward.
"Hideo, look out!" Kaori yelled.
However, it was to late. Hideo got struck by the blast and was sent rolling away… only to vanish. The Debo Monster simply laughed in joy at his luck.
Jikai, Debo Sentai Kyoryuger
Yoshiaki: We need to find Hideo and Bunpachy!
Kaori: How are we gonna do that when we can't go forward?
Hideo: Why can't I find you? Come on, hardhead! Where are you?!
KyoryuBlue: Wait… what's he doing?
Brave 10: Allonsy! Might of Kung-Fu!
Pikatwig: No Chou Taisen Remake ad this time. We just narrowly managed to finish this with some time to spare for the day of the 5th birthday of Kyoryuger. *sighs in relief*
KKD: Yea. Thank goodness. We're cutting close for time, so we're keeping things as brief as we can.
Pikatwig: ...let's just get to favorite parts.
KKD: Personally like the museum bits with the team countering the facts. We used real facts, mind you, but we poked fun at those by using popular media views on prehistoric creatures as facts in this world.
Pikatwig: This is an alternate reality after all. We can have as much fun with facts as we can. I also enjoyed the museum part. The printmaking part was actually inspired by something I did in real life the day before we posted this. Just thought it would be neat.
KKD: Huh… neat indeed.
Pikatwig: So… where's the cake?
PatorenIchigou: Recovered! *bings it over*
Pikatwig: Alright. Let's celebrate. Happy birthday to a gre… uh… goo… uh… alri… *thinks* a decent season of Super Sentai. That's the best word I could think of. I do like Kyoryuger, just… 'decent' seemed like a good enough word.
KKD: Oi! ...Eh, fair enough, I guess.
Pikatwig: Just Live More
KKD: Jaa ne.
*Both went over with the Senshi to eat the cake, but somebody tapped on Red Buster's shoulder*
Person: Red Buster… it is time.
Red Buster: Time for what?
Person: Time.
Red Buster: …
Person: Time.
Red Buster: Oh. That time… *smiles*
