Pikatwig: *walks in, holding a sketchbook, and the Lockseed holster with the Den-O Lockseed and a Lockseed wrapped up, with the kanji for "secret" written on it* Someday soon… someday soon… *sighs and holds a Peach Energy Lockseed, and places it in the open slot* Oh… I'm first here? Huh…
Silver: Oh, heya, Pika. Ooh! New Lockseed! Can I try? *puts on his Sengoku Driver*
KKD: Dude, I don't think you should mess with that.
Pikatwig: Yea… anyhow… I know something that'll be happening… but regardless… another Guardians chapter is here, and the first time KKD is head.
KKD: Yea. And this is gonna be one of those chapters based off a real episode... sorta.
Silver: *takes Peach Energy Lockseed off the holster* I'll test that other one later… don't wanna ruin the surprise. *puts Peach Energy Lockseed in Sengoku Driver, but it immediately ejects and hits Pika in the back of the head*
Pikatwig: ...there it is. *picks Lockseed up and puts it back in holster.* Anyway, KKD, continue with what you were saying?
Silver: Grrr… the dumb thing didn't work… -_-'
KKD: Duh! Ya need a Genesis Core! ...Anyways, I won't spoil what episode this is based on unless you saw the last preview, so, can we get the Disclaimers up already?
Pikatwig: Sure. *walks off, and takes out a black version of a Red Carpet* Rolling out the Black Disclaimer Carpet. *rolls it out*
DISCLAIMERS: No one from Team Toku Sonic West owns anything in this fanfiction except for the original concepts within. The rest is owned by Hasbro, the Hub, Lauren Faust, and their respective owners.
Pikatwig: And thus we may start.
KKD: YOSHA! Game Sta-... Oh wait, wrong story. Um... Uh GANBARE!
Silver: Callback~! XD
"Sora-nee-chan, I can't believe it's almost your birthday," Hinata giggled, looking at a calendar.
"Yea! It's exciting, isn't it?" Sora smirked, as suddenly, they heard someone running at a very fast speed, before there was a calm knock at the door, "Lemme guess. Momo?"
Thus, Sora walked to the door to open it, and sure enough, Momo was behind it, with her hair spiked up, similar to a certain blue hedgehog's. "Did you say it was your birthday?!"
"...Yea. It's coming up soon. In fact, it's three days away," Sora confirmed. "Fun fact, Hinata's birthday is in a month, but it falls onto the same number as mine. Being the 18th,"
"That's right Sora-nee-chan," Hinata nodded, flipping the calendar to show circled on next month, on the 18th read "Hinata's Birthday".
"OHMIGOSH! This is exciting~! Hey! Want me to throw you a super duper spectacular birthday party?!" Momo responded.
"Momo… you make good parties… I was going to go and ask you if you could… before you dashed in here and got your hair all… Sonic-ed up," Sora giggled.
"Oh this? This is just how my hair stands up when I run super-duper quick… never known why…" Momo shrugged, as her hair dropped down, and then poofed up to normal looks, "And it does that after a minute or two."
"Okay then. So... will you help me with the party?"
"You bet your boo-er... I mean sneakers I will!" Momo giggled, checking the clock, "In that case, I got no time to dawdle. BRB! :D"
With that, Momo zoomed off, with part of her hair spiking up again.

Scroll 10: Momo's Party Showdown
"Uh… Momo?" Hinata asked later that day, "Can… uh… I mean… help… with the party plans? I mean… if you want me too… I know Sora the best… and…"
"Don't worry, I got a list of things she likes, and all that," Momo assured, as she was busy setting up the gym for Sora's party, "But if you really wanna help, I need you to head to Sweets' Bakery and pick up a cake that I ordered earlier."
"Got it," Hinata nodded, giving a mock salute and heading out to get to the bakery, before turning around and going back into the gym with a sheepish look.
"Oh, right, directions. Silly me, you never visited the bakery. To get to the Sweets' Bakery, you leave the gym, head out to the street, make a right, a left at the next stop light, keep going down until you make it to Peach St., then turn right again, and the bakery will be on your right," Momo told Hinata, who wrote down all the directions on a spiral notebook, "Have you got all that?"
"Uh…" Hinata stuttered before Momo put the notebook in Hinata's hands before motioning toward the gym door.
"GO GO GO!" Momo shouted, scaring Hinata a bit before the timid girl ran out the door with a yelp, Momo giving a mock salute, "Godspeed, cadet."
With that, Momo rushed back to work, setting up streamers, blowing balloons up, and preparing everything else, "Man, I'm so excited, I could sing. But I better not, I'd interrupt the band class down the hall somehow."
As Momo continued working, she looked over her shoulder to see Mitsuko walk in, with Spike tucked in her backpack and Owlowiscious on her shoulder.
"Whoa. What's the big occasion, Momo?" Mitsuko asked.
"Oh, hi Mitzy-chan. I was just getting the place set up for Sora's birthday party bash!" Momo smiled, "It's gonna be the best birthday she's ever had!"
"You sure you wanna do that? You're gonna give her so much of a swelled head she'll explode, y'know," Mitsuko joked with a slight giggle.
"Don't be silly. The only thing exploding would be these party poppers," Momo replied, holding one out towards Mitsuko before popping it, sending confetti in her face.
Mitsuko then looked at Momo unamused before spitting out the confetti in her mouth and then using her Guardian powers to take the confetti off her. "Well, at least we know she has the best party planner around to help make her party great…"
"Maybe… second best," a voice informed.
"Huh?" the two girls gawked as they turned to the other side of the gym, seeing a male figure wearing a black coat, blue jeans, a yellow shirt, brown cowboy shoes, and he had a black sombrero to top it off.
"Who're you, stranger?" Momo asked, a bit confused by the young man that stepped in, taking off his sombrero to reveal brown curly hair that reminded Mitsuko of Momo.
"Name's Al. Natsukawa Al," the young man informed.
"Al? Is that you?!" Momo gawked.
"You know him Momo?" Mitsuko asked.
"Yea! He's my cousin," Momo answered.
"Hadn't seen ya since we were kids, Peachy," Al chuckled.
"...Peachy?" Mitsuko asked confused, while Momo blushed a tiny bit at the nickname.
"Heh. Peachy…" Spike chuckled, before hearing Mitsuko shush him.
"Peach is the english word for my name, so he calls me that whenever we see each other…" Momo noted. "He uses it whenever he writes to me…"
To prove her point, Momo took out a letter and showed it to Mitsuko, and where it would normally say 'Dear' and the person's name, instead of 'Dear Momo,' it read 'Dear Peachy'.
"Uh… okay," Mitsuko shrugged. "Not like I didn't have a nickname from family when I was growing up,"
"So, what brings you to town, cousin?" Momo asked Al.
"Just droppin' by to see my favorite cousin," Al answered.
"Oh. Okay," Momo smiled.
"But seriously, what's this I hear about a party you're working on?"
"Back off, Al! This party is my domain! I'm not letting you steal the show this time!" Momo shouted, standing her ground.
"Uh… do I even want to know what you mean by that…?" Mitsuko asked.
"Hoo," Al chuckled, backing off, "Someone's a little cranky. Still mad that I stole your thunder back nine years ago, on our aunt's birthday?"
"Al, I thought we agreed never to mention that again," Momo groaned.
"I'm guessing you two have a bit of a rivalry about this stuff…" Mitsuko noted, "I think I'll just let you two go and settle this…"
Just then, Sora walked in to see the gym. "Wow. I'm impressed, Momo. I didn't think you'd be able to convince Dean Hidari to put my party in the gym. This'll be much bigger than what we initially planned! Hey, who's that?" Sora asked, pointing at Al.
"My cousin. And I talked to the dean the second I left your dorm," Momo answered.
"Oh, so this is who the party's for, huh?" Al smirked, as he approached Sora, and tossed her a rose. "I'm her cousin, the best party planner in our family,"
"I'M the best party planner in our family!" Momo glared.
"Oh really?" Al chuckled, turning back to his cousin. "Well Peachy, how about you let me show your friend some of my work?"
"Why should I?" Momo responded annoyed, "So you can make me look bad in front of my friends?!"
"Peachy… Peachy, Peachy, Peachy… I simply want to see what your friend thinks of my work," Al responded, "And it's just the one girl, the girl with the owl just walked out."
Momo turned to see, true to her cousin's words, only Sora was there. "Oh… right, well… you know what I mean! I don't want you to steal the show!"
Al simply walked over to a balloon and gave it a smirk.
"You. Wouldn't. Dare!" Momo growled, as Al began to mess around with the balloon, giving off a squeaky sound, in response, Momo covered in ears in pain.
"Well, Peachy?" Al asked, as Momo struggled against the pain, Sora looking very confused when the doors opened to reveal AJ and Kisho walking in from one side of the gym, and Hinata struggling to come in from the other with the cake that was ordered.
"Uh… Momo… I got the cake. It took a while because of how heavy it was and… uh… sorry, am I interrupting something?" she asked.
"Make him… stop~!" Momo whimpered, "I can't stand the sound of people messing around with balloons, it hurts!"
"Uh… Momo… why not give your cousin a chance?" Sora asked.
"I'LL DO ANYTHING! JUST MAKE THAT HORRIBLE SOUND STO~P!" Momo shouted, tears dripping down from her eyes at this point.
"Heh… thought so," Al smirked as he got his foot off the balloon and walked over to Sora, letting Momo relax a tiny bit, "Trust me, kid. You're gonna love my party for ya."
"So you know, my name is Sora," Sora informed, as Al got out some paper.
"Can uh… somebody help me here?" Hinata asked, as AJ helped her set the cake down onto a table nearby, allowing Hinata to relax before walk over to Momo, "Um… Momo? ...Are you okay?"
"Ugh… yeah… I just have sensitive ears. Especially when it comes to balloons," she groaned, rubbing her ears.
"Kinda ironic, isn't it?"
"Yea… Al knows it's my one weakness… he always did it to get me to do what he wanted when we were younger," Momo sighed.
"Do you need any more help?" Hinata checked.
"It's fine… I can handle it…" Momo replied, glaring at Al.
"Wow! Your parties sound fantastic! You know, Momo's parties are cool, but now that you're here, I got a feeling this party is gonna be…" Sora started with a huge smiled.
"Epic?" Al asked.
"You bet!" Sora nodded as they fist bumped each other before Sora turned to her friend, "Uh… no offense, Momo."
"Yea… it's okay… just uh… gonna head to the nurse and make sure my ears are okay…" Momo informed.
"Um… okay…" Hinata replied as Momo left the gym, no one noticing she was watching from behind the door with a sigh.
The pinkette walked around the school halls for a bit, simply saddened by how her friend had wanted to spend time with her cousin more than her.
"...This happens every time. Whenever Al arrives… I'm just pushed aside…" Momo sighed, as she walked into the school library to try and calm down a bit.
Momo just sighed when she was in the library, reading a children's book to try and keep her mind off of her cousin.
"Uh… Momo-san, are you okay?" a voice asked, making Momo nervous before she moved the book away from her eyes to see who was talking to her, revealing it to be her teacher.
"Oh! Nanami-sensei? ...What're you doing here?" Momo gawked, a bit silently.
"I'm on break, and I was just looking for a good book to read," Nanami answered. "But… what are you doing here? I thought you were working on Sora's birthday party."
"I was, but then… my cousin showed up, and just like any other time he's shown up, he's stealing my job… and my friends…" Momo whimpered.
"Oh, Momo. It can't be that bad. Why don't we talk… I won't tell anyone what you'll tell me," Nanami promised.
"Okay… well… about nine or ten years ago, my cousin, Al, said he was a better party planner, and I took it personally, so we both put together a birthday party for my aunt… but… everything I did went horribly wrong because he sabotaged me…" Momo informed. "He caused me to get grounded for something I didn't do… and I didn't get a single bite of the cake… and everytime he's shown up, he's impressed all of my old friends with his parties… and they didn't want to hang out with me anymore… every time… and now… I'm gonna lose Sora-chan, Mitsuko-chan, Hinata-chan, AJ-san and Kisho-san…"
"Oh… I'm really sorry about that, Momo…" Nanami consoled, putting her hand on Momo's shoulder, "Though, I wouldn't worry about your friends. Trust me, I know what true friendship is. Even when you're on the brink of despair, your friends can give you hope and will never abandon you."
"Just like Kamen Rider Wizard?" Momo asked.
"Yep. Just like Kamen Rider Wizard," Nanami replied, smiling at her student.
"You're such a cool teacher, Nanami-sensei…" Momo smiled.
"I do what I can Momo. Now, why don't I get you back to the gym?" Nanami offered.
"...Well... Okay," Momo nodded as they walked back, 'Still, Al has done this so many times... It's time for a little payback... And I know just what to do.'
Back in the gym, Al had spruced the place up like he was a professional. The other five looked at the gym, amazed by what he was able to accomplish.
"Wow! This party just got 20 percent cooler!" Sora shouted gleefully.
"I try my best," Al smiled. However, just as he was about to finish putting up the balloons, Momo slammed open the door to the gym, nearly knocking Al off the ladder.
"Uh… Momo, it's against school policy to slam doors…" Nanami whispered.
"Oh… uh… redo!" Momo responded, as she closed the doors, and opened up one, walking in with a glare on her face. "Hello there, cousin!"
"Oh. Sup Peachy?" Al waved, getting the ladder stable again and continuing his work.
"I demand an apology!" Momo shouted.
"Eh?" Al gawked, looking at Momo before getting off the ladder, "What you talkin' about, Peachy?"
"For being a mean ol' cousin! I will get that apology outta you! Even if it's the last thing I-" Momo started, when she saw her bracelet flash for a second, but she ignored it for the time being.
"Um… why did you pause?" Al asked.
"N-No reason!" Momo shouted, "Anyways, even if you won't apologize, I'm still throwing my friend her birthday party! Thus I challenge you… TO A GOOF-OFF!"
"You did not just go there!" Al gasped, readying a balloon.
"I. Did! High noon!" Momo shouted.
"Uh… Momo, it's already 12:45," Nanami informed.
"Plus…" Mitsuko added, pointing to her Element of Harmony, then motioning out the door.
"Um… right! Then High 1!" Momo corrected herself, before walking off, "You'd better show up, Allie, unless you're just a boneless chicken!" And as she walked away, Momo made chicken noises that seemed to irk Al a lot.
"...Grrr... THAT'S IT! Nobody! And I mean NOBODY, calls me a boneless chicken!" Al shouted back, as he began to mess with the balloon, chasing after his cousin, or at least trying to.
As the girls ran into the forest where their Elements were pointing them, they couldn't help but notice the silence in the woods, which seemed odd even for the Shroudwood Forest.
"Can we hurry this up? I gotta get back in time for the Goof-off," Momo responded, obviously impatient.
"Hey, doesn't it seem off to you girls that we always end up in these woods to fight a monster or something?" Kisho asked.
"Yeah. Maybe the Shroudwood Forest has the highest concentration of magical energy or something…" Sora guessed.
"Sounds legit ta me!" AJ agreed, "Anyways, let's go and find that there Nightmare Beast or corrupted creature or whatever it is this time."
They just looked around before hearing a growling, similar to the usual Nightwolves that attacked them before, but this one sounded… bigger.
"Uh oh. Time to stay on your guard, girls," Mitsuko stated, her hand instantly instantly going toward her right wrist, as the others did the same with their respective Elements of Harmony.
They just held their hands over until they saw the eyes of a Timberwolf… except 10 times bigger than the normal ones.
"Now! Tomodachi Transform!" Momo shouted as they activated their Elements and transformed.
"Momo, wait!" Mitsuko shouted, before Momo ran headfirst at the giant Nightwolf, jumping up before putting both feet in a kick to the beast's snout, knocking it back a bit before it growled.
"What's with her today?!" AJ muttered, as the others transformed as well, about to attack the GigaNightwolf before Momo caused a massive ice explosion, knocking the other girls back and freezing the giant beast solid.
"She seems more… intense than usual," Kisho added as Momo lept into the air before coming down to kick the beast in the head, shattering it to pieces.
"Well… I can't blame her… if I had an important date to make with my family, I would be in a hurry," Mitsuko admitted.
"Point taken," Kisho nodded as Momo turned back to the others and dusted herself off.
"Okay, now that that's over with, what say we head back?" she replied, as they shrugged and all walked back.
Little did they know that the splinters of the Nightwolf began to reform, with none of the Guardians aware.
"Bit of a shame… I had this new finisher concept to pitch to ya Mitsuko," Momo informed.
"Then why did you go all gung-ho in the first place?!" Sora shouted, annoyed at Momo for jumping the gun.
"Uh… I just need to beat Al in the Goof-Off! You all don't understand…" Momo responded, as she rushed off to get back.
"Well… that was… odd," Mitsuko admitted.
"You don't understand, darling. Momo takes her parties very seriously," Kisho replied.
"I get that, though she seems to be carrying a personal vendetta against her cousin…" Mitsuko noted.
"Well… what makes you think that?" Kisho asked in response.
"Ano…" Hinata raised her hand. "When I went to go and get something… I uh… heard her talking with Nanami-sensei… I didn't hear everything… but Momo said something about sabotage… I think..."
"Sabotage? Is Momo thinking of cheating?" Mitsuko wondered.
"Well… I think she said something about Al cheating on her before somewhere, but… I didn't hear everything…" Hinata shrugged.
"I just hope this doesn't end like I think it will…" Mitsuko stated, "We all know how Momo gets…"
As it approached 1:00, the gym was cleaned out for the Goof-Off to commence, as Al and Momo stood on opposite sides of each other, with the other five girls, Nanami-sensei, and a couple other students waiting for the showdown to commence.
"You remember the rules to the Goof Off, don't ya, Al?" Momo responded.
"We be as random as possible until one of us messes up or surrenders? Of course I know the rules, Peachy," Al smirked, before pulling out a megaphone from… somewhere, and yelling into it, "Let the Games Begin!"
Thus, Momo started out by taking out some bouncy balls, and used them to juggle, while Al made himself juggle using bouncy balls. Next Momo took out a bowl of cake batter, and used it to make a small sculpture of Sailor Moon.
"Beat that Al!" Momo smirked.
"Oh I will!" Al replied, before pulling out a very long snake balloon, twisting it around and up and down before revealing a full-sized balloon version of Kamen Rider OOO, with all the matching colors.
"OI! Kamen Rider is my thing, jerk!" Momo growled, steam coming out of her ears. She then moved a curtain over herself, before showing she was now totally dressed as Amy Yuuzuki from Kyoryuger, and even expertly pulled off the Kyoryuger henshin dance. "But you can't take my Sentai away!"
"Whatever," Al shrugged off before he moved a curtain over himself, and was now dressed as Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles. He then started to juggle not only his balloon Kamen Rider OOO, but also a replica of Shulk's sword, the Monado, and Momo's Sailor Moon cake sculpture.
"How'd you… grr!" she growled angrily, as she started walking on her hands for a second, quickly doing cartwheels, and then she kicked something down with her hands.
Al then simply drew something on a sketchpad, which was simply of him winning the Goof-Off with Momo falling down into a punch bowl. "Cause that's what happened last time, and it's how it'll end again," Al laughed.
"Grrr… ONORE!" Momo roared, before pulling out her party cannon, before firing it head on at Al.
"Is that against the rules?" Sora asked Mitsuko.
"Uh… no, not against the rules at all," Mitsuko answered, looking though a book titled "Egghead's Guide to Goof-Offs."
Al simply chuckled a bit as he pulled out a briefcase. "You call that puny thing a party canon? More like a party squirt gun!" With that, he opened up the briefcase, which unfolded to reveal an even larger party cannon, which he fired at Momo even harder, knocking her backward.
"Oof! I won't lose to the likes of you!" Momo yelled, stuffing her cannon with more ammo and firing like nuts, with Al simply doing the same, but unknown to them, the more and more force they were applying to their cannons, and all the misses were causing one of the walls to begin to crack.
"Momo… you might wanna stop…" Mitsuko advised.
"Not now, Mitzy!" Momo responded, still stuffing the cannon to the brim before finally firing away, and Al did the same.
However, this blast WAY~ overdid it as the wall closest to Sora cracked to the point that it fell down near her, and while she dodged it, she saw a piece about to fall onto Hinata.
"Hinata, LOOK OUT!" she shouted, shoving Hinata out of the way, with the piece landing right onto Sora's right arm. "GAH!"
"Sora!" Mistuko gasped as she and most of the others rushed to her side, and hearing all this made Momo turn to see what was going on, ignoring Al, not seeing him prepare something new.
"*gasp* What am I doing?! I promised Sora I'd prepare a great party, and yet I… I… almost hurt her and her sister..." Momo gawked, stunned by what she almost did, and then, finally turned back to Al, "Al, STOP~!"
"...What? Don't tell me that this is another excuse of yours to try and trick me into something," Al responded as everyone else looked at Momo.
"No Al. The Goof-Off… is OFF!" Momo informed, as she rushed over to Sora.
"Momo… what were you thinking?" Mitsuko inquired.
"I… think this thing broke my arm…" Sora said in pain.
"I… I didn't mean to…" Momo stuttered, unable to come to terms with what just happened.
"You let your jealousy get the better of you, and now look what's it's done! We are very disappointed in you," Kisho stated, followed by the other girls frowning at Momo, who looked at them in despair.
"...You're right… I did… and I don't deserve to be party planner…" Momo replied, tears coming to her eyes as she walked out, "You win, Al. Go ahead and plan your party…" With that, Momo walked away silently, her hair becoming straight and deflated as she walked.
About a day later, Sora was given the news her arm would heal, but it would be a little while.
"I still can't believe Momo would go that far for a stupid rivalry," Mitsuko groaned, as Sora looked at the cast her arm was in.
"...It wasn't entirely her fault… I was trying to save Hinata and… it's not like she knew the thing would fall," Sora sighed.
"And since you injured that arm in front of a lot of people, I can't use magic to try and heal it," Mitsuko informed, "It would just bring on a lot of suspicion."
"True…"
"Uh… hi…" a shaky voice said, as they all turned to see Al standing in front of them all, a little nervous.
"Al? What are you doing here?" Mitsuko asked.
"I wanted to apologize for taking this whole thing too far… I don't understand why Peachy's always been so jealous of me. I mean, she's been my biggest inspiration for planning parties and seeing her act so hostile toward me… it hurts…"
"Nanami-sensei said it was because you sabotaged her party nine years ago…" Hinata noted.
"What? ...oh, all of that. Well, let me tell you something, she's been mistaken. I never sabotaged her," Al informed.
"Then… what happened?" Mitsuko asked.
"Well… I guess she got so caught up in her rivalry with me that she ended up sabotaging herself…" Al guessed, "She's always been known to overdo things when she feels threatened. Same with every time I show up. I just wanted to prove to her that I was good at parties like her… but that mess nine years ago really just messed things up."
"I think I heard… grounded in the conversation… what happened to her?"
"Oh… well, due to her self-sabotage, the cake she made for our aunt blew up, none of the balloons stayed floaty enough… and then something bad happened. You see, our aunt is allergic to peanuts… and Momo neglected to remember to not add the peanut butter to her special cake, and… well, you get the rest…"
"And when she said her friends always left her after you came around?" Hinata asked.
"Probably because her friends didn't want to be around her when she went too far…" Mitsuko guessed.
"Kinda like how we treated her before…" Sora murmured, looking down sadly, "Aw man… now I just feel terrible about how we treated her…"
"She's lost a lot of friends because of me… and our aunt hasn't gotten a chance to forgive her for the mess… but you five… from the letters I've seen, you are her best friends. She must feel devastated by all this… oh, this is all my fault…"
"I think we're all to blame for this, Al. We should have understood Momo's feelings… We should go apologize together…" Mitsuko noted. However, as she said that, she looked down and gasped as her Element of Harmony began to flash, "Uh… excuse us, Al. We'll be back as soon as we can."
With that, the five girls rushed out of the room to take care of business.
Meanwhile, outside the school, Momo sat alone and sad near the Shroudwood Forest.
"I wish I were a Gate so I could just die from my inner Phantom right now…" Momo sighed, tears still rushing down her face, "Better that than to continue on with this suffering."
She was so engrossed in her sorrow, she didn't even hear a slight ruffling of the leaves behind her. "Maybe I could meet Mr. Williams up there," she muttered, looking at the sky, imagining her inspiration, the Genie from Aladdin.
However, she then heard a roar as she looked up slightly to see the GigaNightwolf standing before her, growling.
Momo then looked down and then sighed. "Go ahead. I don't even care at all…"
The GigaNightwolf continued to growl before opening its jaws, and prepared its charge straight at Momo. However, just as it was about to attack, it was blocked by a massive wall of stone that uppercutted the giant beast in the chin.
"Huh?" Momo gasped, before looking to see the other five Guardians run over to her.
"Momo! Thank Kami-sama! Are you alright?" Mitsuko asked.
"Why do you care?" she asked.
"You're our friend, that's why," Sora smiled, Momo giving her a look before she saw Sora still had the cast on, "I still gotta heal, but… I never turn my back on my friends."
"We're sorry we got so mad at you, Momo. We understand that you felt threatened, and we heard about what happened to your old friends… but trust us, darling, we wouldn't turn our backs on you no matter what!" Kisho nodded.
"Min'na…" Momo murmured, her hair slowly poofing back up before it turned back to its fluffy old self, "I should've known you'd never abandon me! Oh, why was I so jealous in the first place?! I almost ruined everything!"
"Hey, it happens sometimes," Spike noted, as he walked up, "Now, let's roast this wolf!"
"Hai!" Momo shouted, before activating her Element of Harmony, "Tomodachi Trans~form!"
With that, the six charged in against the GigaNightwolf, each having a chance to knock it around for a bit with their own elemental perks. The beast then roared, before charging at Mitsuko. However, it suddenly felt its weight fall from under it, caused by a flaming lasso created by AJ that wrapped around its leg.
"Okay, Nightmare Beast, as another ice user would say, it's time to kick some ice!" Momo shouted, before freezing the GigaNightwolf's legs to the ground, leaving the girls an opening to attack, "Alright, girls! It's time to try out that new hissatsu I've been planning out!"
"Let's try it out," Mitsuko smirked, as Momo whispered the plan to the group. "That… sounds like it'll work."
Thus, as per the usual, they charged up Mitsuko's Element of Harmony with their magics. However, this time Mitsuko removed the crown-like Element of Harmony from her head, which changed into a disc of energy shining the main colors of all six guardians.
"Mahou… Tiara… SHOT!" Mitsuko shouted out, sending it flying forward at the GigaNightwolf, blowing it up on impact.
"Booya!" Momo shouted in glee, as Mitsuko caught her tiara, and while smirking, put it back on.
"Wow. Never thought that'd be effective," Sora noted.
"It seems like something lifted from one of Belle's Magical Girl mangas or anime," Kisho added.
"Exactly that!" Momo responded, before looking down and sighing, "I really went too far with this dumb competition... Honto Suimasen!" she said while bowing.
"It's okay," Sora assured, turning back to normal. "Hey… can I ask you something?"
"...what?" Momo asked, as Sora handed her a pink marker.
"Sign my cast?" Sora asked, moving her cast to Momo. Momo chuckled a bit before taking a pen out of nowhere and signing the cast.
"No hard feelings, then?" Momo asked.
"Nah. Still, you gotta make it up to me by planning the best party ever, number one party planner at Tomodachi," Sora replied, nudging Momo with her good arm and smiling.
"But… what about Al?" Momo asked.
Just then, the six looked to see Al walking up, seeing the six in their Guardian forms… except Sora, who changed out of her outfit.
"Um… what's with the Magical Girl outfit, Peachy?" Al asked, a bit confused.
"Uh… it's cosplay," Momo giggled, "Yea! My friend has a sister who's a big fan of the Magical Girl genre, and we wanted to surprise her. It's not her birthday or anythin', but still."
"You all look like characters from Sailor Moon," Al added.
"Yea… that's kinda the idea," Momo replied.
Al chuckled a bit, before looking back at Momo. "Peachy… I'm really sorry about what happened. I never meant to make you jealous of me. I just wanted to show you how well I could do parties too because… you're my biggest inspiration!"
"Wait… me?! Your biggest inspiration?!" Momo gasped, surprised by this news.
"Well… yeah. You've always been so peppy, happy, and ready to make anyone smile… me… I used to be so shy… I always tried to be like you. I didn't mean to make you upset at all…"
"Oh… well… now I feel like a bad cousin…" Momo sighed, a bit guilty.
"So… do you think we can be friends again? I'll even help you patch things up with our aunt for what happened," Al asked, holding out his hand to Momo.
Momo then looked at the hand, then back up at Al, and then smiled. "Yeah. Let's start this over," she replied, smiling. She then shook Al's hand, before bringing the handshake in closer. The two then did a fist bump, before fist bumping vertically with Momo's hand above Al's, before the two did a lower fist bump which for some reason sounded off a ding sound after they did it.
"Now, should we work together on this party, couz?" Al asked, winking.
"Yea! Let's do it together!" Momo giggled with her usual wide smile back.
About a day later, the party was in full swing in the gym, which had repaired the wall that had been broken from the goof-off. The party itself was decked out with rainbows, some sport themed areas and games, and even a lot of tokusatsu related decorations.
"This party is amazing," Dash smiled, going over to Al and Momo, who were both making some minor repairs to the wall. "What are you two…?"
"School let us keep the gym, so long as we fixed the wall," Momo informed.
"It's taking a little while, but I think the progress of the repairs is going good," Al figured.
"Well, don't just stand there doing boring stuff! The wall's fine. Let's party!" Sora shouted, grabbing Momo and Al with her arms, the broken one having healed significantly without any "explanation".
"So, I'm glad this party's going on, and you got Nagisa to DJ, Momo-chan," Sora smiled.
"Yea, well… she's willing to do a favor for a friend, as long as she gets to play one song of her choice," Momo informed, as she was dancing around like nuts.
-Yo, yo, yo partygoers! This is DJ Beatz, comin' to ya live!- the DJ announced. -Now, normally, I'm the life of the party, next to Momo-san, but… I kinda wanna slow it down, just this once. If that's okay with you Party Girl?-
"Sure thing," Sora nodded, as Nagisa took out a disc with a slow sort of song on it.
Thus, people began to pair up to dance, with Sora being one of the few without someone to dance with, when she saw Mitsuko over by a corner, simply looking a bit nervous. Seeing this, Sora decided to walk over to her.
"You okay, Mitzy-chan?" she asked.
"Yea… it's just… I can't dance," she admitted.
"...Would you like me to show you how?" Sora offered, extending a hand to Mitsuko, who couldn't help but fight a tiny blush. "Don't get the wrong idea Mitzy-chan, I like you, but not… like you, like you,"
"Um… okay…" Mitsuko replied, a bit confused, before Sora showed her how to dance.
"Man… this is a lot of fun," she admitted, as Sora showed her some fancy moves.
"Yea. I know how to dance due to it being acrobatic…" Sora admitted, as she glanced over to see Momo talking with her cousin.
"You got some amazing friends, Peachy," Al admitted.
"Yea, yea I do," she nodded.
Al smiled at his cousin, before handing her a letter. "Also, that's from our aunt. Just wanted you to have that,"
"Alrighty, but I'll read it later. I've got to start making plans for Hinata's birthday," Momo smiled, as Hinata, AJ, Kisho, Sora and Mitsuko watched them.
"Ooh! That sounds like fun! I wanna try throwing it!" Al replied.
"What?! But… she's MY friend," Momo stated.
"Yeah, well, I've already proved that my side of the party was the best," Al retorted, a bit of arrogance in his claim.
"No! I will bring out my Party Cannon 2.0 if I have to!"
"Then I'll just bring out my Party Cannon 3.0! OR the Party Cannon 6.0!"
"What's the Party Cannon 6.0?"
"I have no idea, but I'll assure you it'll be twice as good as the Party Cannon 3.0!"
"No way! My party cannon is 20 percent cooler than yours!" Momo shouted, glaring at Al.
"Oh boy… here we go again," Mitsuko sighed, as Hinata and Sora sighed.
"Who do you want to plan your party anyhow?" Sora inquired.
"I have no idea…" Hinata shrugged, as the other five sighed as Momo and Al prepared for another Goof-Off.
Momo: What up, minna-san! Momo here for today's Super Hero Trivia! And with me today I got…
Natsuki: Me, Natsuki Maki, as well as Darren Eccleston from Kamen Rider SEGA, and we're ready to rock!
Yuki: *sighs* Are these two always this chipper?
Darren: You have no idea…
Al: *walks in* Sup, Peachy. Thought I'd drop in on… whatever it was you're doing.
Momo: Oh c'mon, Al. First the chapter we were a part of with the party, and now this?!
Yuki: Who's this guy?
Momo: My cousin… either way, we should start up the trivia section! Let's spin the wheel!
*wheel spins before landing on…*
Momo: Super~ SENTAI!
Yuki: I suppose this is meant to be my turf, huh? Well, the franchise has been running for 38 seasons, and revolves around teams of around 5-10 warriors called Senshi.
Momo: Well, DUH! We know that. Tell us something new!
Darren: Without mucus, your stomach would digest itself.
Natsuki: Baka-Darren! She meant something new about Super Sentai!
Yuki: Well, Chojin Sentai Jetman has been debated to be one of the best Super Sentai of all time, and was the last season before Saban Entertainment took Super Sentai and turned it into Power Rangers.
Momo and Natsuki: Go Go Power Rangers! Go Go Power Rangers! Go Go Power Ranger, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers!
Yuki: But did you know Jetman was actually one of the seasons Saban considered adapting into Power Rangers, but instead went with Kyouryuu Sentai Zyuranger?
Momo: Which, by the way, kinda got the name of one of the animals wrong. In Zyuranger, Black's animal was a Mammoth, but in Power Rangers it was a Mastodon.
Yuki: Neither Mammoth nor the Saber Toothed Tiger, or Smilodon as we know it nowadays, were actually dinosaurs like the shows said.
Al: Who cares? They're just big elephants and cats!
Momo: Stay outta this! Anyway… Yuki, please continue…
Yuki: Okay. Anyway… Super Sentai has been adapted into Power Rangers since then… for better or for worse. While Sentai has always been owned by Toei, Saban lost Power Rangers to Disney for a while.
Momo: True, true, true.
Darren: Honestly, Disney didn't do well enough compared to Saban. Though, Saban did eventually gain the rights back… for better or worse.
Momo: Anyway… not all of the Super Sentai seasons are that great, some are flops *flashes picture of Ohranger*, some are underrated *flashes picture of Goseiger* and then some are loved *flashes picture of Kyouryuuger*. Fun fact, Kyouryuuger was the first Sentai season to be written by one person, who actually wrote a Kamen Rider series… hmm… maybe that might explain why Daigo was such a spotlight-thief...
Darren: Is that supposed to be an insult to the Riders?
Momo: No. I'm just saying, Riders tend to have linear focus… and stop talking...
Natsuki: Well, now that we're here, it'll be our stage now! ^^
Yuki: -_- You are too full of yourself...
Al: I don't get why people like this toku stuff.
Momo: Fun fact about Power Rangers, after the flop that was Operation Overdrive, Disney went over to Toei to tell them to make the Sentai animated, and/or turn down the violence. Their response *pauses and puts on a manager like outfit* "Shut up and get back to work making our stuff in America!" *turns back to normal outfit* That may explain the Japanese motifs of Shinkenger… also, another fun fact, when Saban bought back Power Rangers, they told Disney they were going to put it on the Hub, where My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic airs. Would've caused issues for the toys… but given the whole 'twenty episodes, take a break' thing… maybe Power Rangers might've been better off on the Hub…
Yuki: Is she normally this much a blabber mouth?
Al: You have no idea...
Darren: As interesting as all this is, I think we should end this off before we go out of hand.
Yuki: Glad we agree. Until next time, this has been Yuki, the Toa of Ice, MataWhite…
Momo: I'm Momo, the Guardian of Laughter!
Al: I'm Alphonse Natsukawa, her cousin…
Darren: I'm Darren Eccleston, Kamen Rider Turbo16...
Natsuki: And I'm Natsuki Maki, Kamen Rider PCEngine. Now, let's get to our chapter where it will be our stage now! *grabs Darren by the arm and drags him out*
Darren: Natsuki~!
Yuki: Ugh… -_-

Mitsuko: How do you know?!
Jikai, The Goddess of Love (Part I)
Silver: Well, after 10 chapters of doing this, we've finally hit our first milestone! The Arc Finale!
Pikatwig: ...I have a complaint, but I'm not gonna talk about it. *mutters*
KKD: Uh… sorry about that, aibou. But regardless, I'm glad we managed to finish that chapter.
Silver: Yeah. Glad we did, too. I wanted to finish this chapter up before… well, I'll tell you guys about it in SEGA.
Pikatwig: *gives a small groan/sigh* Anyway, favorite part has to be how the chapter ended with the competition about to start over. And just saying real quick, despite Mitsuko and Sora dancing, it's not meant as anything TwiDash-y, just meant as a reference to the first Equestria Girls.
Silver: Good. You know I don't like Yaoi/Yuri shipping unless it's canon. Anyways, my favorite had to be the goof-off. Sure, it wasn't as expressive as the goof-off from the source material, but we're working with paper. What do you expect? Also, there was Kamen Rider references galore in this, which I'm really happy for!
KKD: That's good. Personally, my favorite part would have to be the part where Al & Momo make up and decide to become friends again, and that ending bit was pretty funny too. And whew! This was my first chapter where I led the project, and I feel pretty satisfied with how it ended up.
Silver: Me too! It was pretty well thought out, honestly. Good job, Sempai! ^^
Pikatwig: It worked out really good. Anyway… I've got other things to do. *pulls out a tablet and watches a scene from the recent Gaim episode.* Man…
KKD: In the meantime, Silver and I have a SEGA chapter to complete. So until next time, min'na-san, this has been KKD Silver, the Crossover King…
Pikatwig: *mutters* hate this part. *Normal tone* the… still pending Raiden Writer, Pikatwig.
Silver: And the Radiant Rider, SilverariaMaximum… and Pika, can I try out the Peach Energy Lockseed?
Pikatwig: Kinda gonna need it for something… make it quick. *hands Peach Energy Lockseed over, and continues to watch clip.*
Silver: Yosha! Now… I just need a Genesis Core… then… *holds up Banana Lockseed* Time for a little experiment…
KKD: Why do I have a bad feeling about this… *Genesis Core somehow rolls in and stops at Silver's feet* Huh?
Silver: Oh hey, how convenient!
Baron: *walks in* You'd better give me back my Banana Lockseed that you took if you use that… It was hard to get that part out of my Genesis Driver.
Pikatwig: *mutters* There is a button to release the Core dude...
Silver: O Hai, callback! Yeah, fine. I got another Banana Lockseed anyways. *activates Sengoku Driver with Banana and Peach Energy Lockseeds*
=COME ON! MIX! BANANA ARMS! KNIGHT OF SPEAR~! JINBA PEACH! HA HAA!=
*What happened next surprised everyone as the Banana and Peach Energy Armor Parts somehow merged, creating a Banana Arms version of the Jinba Mode.*
Pikatwig: Okay, you got what you wanted. *walks over, takes out all three items, tossing the Genesis Core and Banana Lockseed to Baron, while taking back his Peach Energy Lockseed*
Silver: Great! Now I can let slide your reluctance to doing the first part of the sign-off… *eyes narrow* For NOW…
Pikatwig: Whatever… just wrap this up…
Silver: Jeez, someone's cranky… -_-
Pikatwig: Given the crud you've put me through… can you blame me? *sighs* whatever.
KKD: Oi! Break it up, you two! Anyways, this has been TTS West, Jaa ne!
Pikatwig: I was just side-commenting. Just Live More. *Walks onto Goseiger Ressha and leaves.*
Silver: Stand up the Vanguard! *gets on a Sakura Hurricane Rider Machine and drives off*
