Pikatwig:: The next chapter is here.
KKD: *Walks in yawning* Man, what a night… Sorry aibou, I just finished up some last minute stuff for a class last night, and I was mentally exhausted.
Pikatwig: It's cool dude.
KKD: In any case, we're continuing this multi-part mini-arc of the story, and maybe we'll find out what that hooded figure has planned for poor AJ.
Pikatwig: Now, let's do this. Cue Disclaimers.
DISCLAIMERS: As with most, neither KKD nor Pikatwig own any of the franchises involved, including, but not limited to, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Super Sentai, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, or anything else used here; they are owned by their respective owners such as Toei, Bandai, Shotaro Ishinomori, Hasbro, Lauren Faust, The Hub, etc.
Previously, on Gokai-Ponies, a feud between friends had begun between Twilight Sparkle and Applejack, the two ponies getting upset with Twilight's new developing ego. However, this did not help with a hooded figure leading some Neo-Goumin framing her for damaging the Galleon, and breaking Twi's trust even further. With Applejack not on the galleon, she meets the mysterious hooded figure, who has an even more mysterious motive. Just what will this mysterious figure do now that she has hypnotized poor AJ?
That night, in a location unknown, there was someone walking around. This figure was actually a human female wearing black shoes and socks along with an odd outfit that consisted of a short skirt, a sort of officer's jacket (both of which had yellow on it, the skirt having stripes, the sleeves of the jacket having a yellow band each, and the torso showing half of a star on the front, not to mention the letters S.P.D. were written in various places), and it all somehow brought out the white shirt she had underneath the jacket, her brown eyes and brown hair.
"You're Reimon Marika, DekaYellow of Tokosou Sentai Dekaranger?" a voice asked her from out of nowhere.
"...Call me Jasmine," she responded, revealing her name as well as confirming who exactly she was, "Who wants to know?"
"Well… you should know, seeing you have the Dekarangers' Grand Power once more," the voice informed, causing Jasmine to reach for a white blaster holstered to her waist.
However, whoever was speaking to her, took out a GokaiSaber.
"Gokai Change," the figure spoke, causing DekaYellow to turn around and fire her blaster, but she as a few seconds slower as...
=GO~KAIGER!=
"Tch, you're asking for it!" Jasmine smirked, taking out an odd device which was white, black, had the S.P.D. logo on it, and had a gray button between two lights like a siren, "Emergency! DEKARANGER!"
However, when she pressed the button… nothing happened, making her gasp in realization.
"Shoot! I forgot I gave up my powers to the Gokaigers…" she groaned.
The figure then walked out of the darkness, and came to a light source, revealing the figure to be GokaiBlue, but what made Jasmine gasp was the fact that this Gokaiger was female, as indicated by her skirt.
"Who are you?" Jasmine demanded to know, when a sort of trumpet began to play, causing a golden glow to come off of Jasmine. "...What's happening?!"
Suddenly, she grunted in pain as a glowing yellow orb was forced from her body, and upon closer inspection, the orb contained the image of a silver badge of sorts with the profile of a dog and the letters S.P.D. above it.
"No!" Jasmine gasped as the orb flew away and landed in the hands of GokaiBlue, and she giggled.
(Cue Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger opening theme)

Chapter 10: Entrancing Sunset Part 2
"Wonder where AJ is, I saw her down here earlier…" Dash said, trying to find her friend, but was not having much luck.
"She's not answering her Mobirate either," Rarity added, as Twilight was trying hard not to cry.
"...How could I have been so stupid! Letting my ego get the best of me like that," Twilight replied, tears beginning to fall from her eyes.
"Twilight, it can happen. But right now, we need to find Applejack," Dash reminded.
"You're right. ...Let's keep searching," Twilight nodded.
GokaiBlue, now back in pony form, walked up to a sort of ship, and handed the hooded figure the Dekaranger Grand Power, who received it via her magic.
"Excellent work, Applejack," the figure smiled as GokaiBlue reverted to her civilian form.
"Thank you mistress," AJ bowed, her eyes having a glassy look to them.
"Soon, all the Grand Powers of the Super Sentai will be mine," she smirked, putting down the orb that housed the Grand Power, next to three more. Specifically, these had the symbols of the Shinkengers (which resembled a blooming flower of sorts), the Boukengers (the compass symbol on their chests), and the Gekirangers (which was a sort of claw scratch mark).
"Now then Applejack, I need your Ranger Key and a few others for an experiment. And to think Celestia doubted my abilities…" the hooded figure told AJ, as she handed her the Ranger Keys of GokaiBlue, KyoryuBlue, and a key with a light blue color that had white legs under the skirt and before the boots, had a golden belt, black and gold lines around the suit, some of them forming an M shape close to the collar, and the visor resembling a mermaid's tail.
The hooded figure took the Ranger Keys, and then using a sort of computer, began to study their properties and how they worked. Then, she took the lock from earlier, and began to see it's power signature was of a different level then a Ranger Key.
"Man… whoever made these things sure knew what they were doing…" the hooded figure said. "But the question remains… how did they do it?"
Back with Jasmine, she had just awoken up in what appeared to be a stone temple with dinosaurs carved into it.
"Eh?" she said, looking around confused.
"Good to see you're awake, Jasmine," a male voice spoke as she turned to see a man with wild brown hair, dark brown eyes, and wear a white long-sleeved shirt under a red sleeveless jacket with a yellow underside, green cargo pants and boots, "Um… just to make sure… you are Jasmine, right? Not Nossan's sister Yuko?"
"Yes, it's me Jasmine, Daigo-san," Jasmine sighed. "Honestly, the war with the Neo-Zagyack was crazy… and I was surprised there was someone in your group who looked just like me when our teams met."
"Hey, Ian admits to thinking he's seen that Go-On Black guy before the war. But regardless, what happened to you anyway? I found you out cold earlier."
"...Arigatou."
"No prob."
"Anyway, I was attacked by a female GokaiBlue earlier. She stole my team's Grand Power."
"A female GokaiBlue?!" Daigo gawked.
"Must be one of the new Gokaigers I've heard rumors about." Jasmine figured.
"Most likely," Daigo agreed.
Back over in Equestria, the Gokaigers returned to the galleon after not finding AJ.
"We've been searching for hours, and nothing…" Dash groaned. Twilight then saw Spike looking like his stomach was hurting, and he was about to get sick.
"What's wrong, Spike?" Twilight asked.
The young dragon couldn't even speak, when he burped up a letter in a red fire, and the seal on the letter had the Kyoryuger's team symbol on it.
"The Kyoryuger symbol? ...Could this mean the Kyoryugers sent this?!" Dash gawked as she opened the scroll.
"Only one way to find out. 'Dear Current Gokaigers- Why'd you guys steal the Dekarangers' Grand Power?! I just managed to save DekaYellow from your GokaiBlue, who somehow managed to take the Grand Power with ease! You girls should know that the Grand Powers should not be taken by force; if you want them, you have to earn them properly, like we heard you did with the Tokkyugers. Please send your reasons for why you did this, otherwise we'll start coming to you to get the answers. From, KyoryuRed.'
"Wait… steal a Grand Power? What's AJ thinking?" Dash gasped.
"Can anypony even do that?" Twilight wondered.
"Well… Basco could do that…" Dash informed.
"Who?" Rarity and Pinkie asked.
"An enemy of the original Gokaigers, and former friend to the original GokaiRed, Captain Marvelous. He somehow managed to use some trumpet, the same one he used to create Ranger Key Clones out of ranger keys, to steal Grand Powers without needing to 'earn' them. But what confuses me is how AJ would be able to do this… and why?"
The team all gave a collective shrug, as a portal opened up, shocking them all as they each prepared their weapons when… out came a giant silver and gold Brachiosaurus mech.
"WHOA! It's the Kyoryuger's strongest lone mech! The Zyudenryu of KyoryuSilver, Bragigas!" Dash gasped.
It then blasted the Galleon.
"Explain yourselves!" Daigo shouted.
"WE DIDN'T TAKE THE DEKARANGERS' GRAND POWER, DAIGO-SAN!" Dash shouted.
Jasmine, now a yellow pegasus held her henshin devices out, and it scanned them for a moment, and it said they were telling the truth.
"It's okay, Daigo. They're not guilty," Jasmine inform Daigo, who was now a red earth pony.
"Oh… my bad. Sorry," Daigo told them.
"So your GokaiBlue, Applejack, has been missing for while?" Jasmine asked the mares as she and Daigo were now on the GokaiGalleon.
"Yea, she left last night, and then just… vanished," Twilight confirmed.
"...Do you have any idea what caused her to leave?"
"We were arguing and… I called her a bad friend…" Twilight told them, trying not to cry.
"Hey, cheer up, Twilight. If she's a true friend, she'll come back. I'm sure of it. And if something's wrong with her, we'll be more than happy to help," Daigo smiled, putting a hoof around her, and then Twilight got out of that.
"Thank you..." Twilight smiled.
Back in the human world, it was an ordinary day for a guy who looked strongly similar to Beet Buster's civilian form but wearing yellow, and another guy with him that had black hair, brown eyes, and had a very similar outfit to the guy next to him, except for his red top.
"When do you think the Gokaigers will return our powers? It's been almost a year now," the guy in yellow sighed.
"I'm not sure, Nii-san," the guy in red shrugged to his brother.
"And please… no comments about that beetle guy from the 36th team, it's annoying," the guy in yellow, Tsubasa, sighed.
"Hey you said it, not me, his brother responded.
Tsubasa sighed annoyed, as he stood up, and stretched.
A short distance away, GokaiBlue was in waiting, trying to find the right time to strike. Suddenly, though, she was blasted by a burst of fire. She turned to see that the boy in red, his hand held out like he expelled the flames via magic.
"How'd you know she was there, Kai?" Tsubasa gawked.
"Intuition," the guy in red, Kai, answered.
"Heh, I'm not down yet! Gokai Change!" she announced, taking out the blue MagiRanger key.
=MA~GIRANGER!=
"So she's the new GokaiBlue," Tsubasa figured before unleashing a bolt of lightning at Gokai-MagiBlue.
"No you don't!" Gokai-MagiBlue shouted, shifting around water, to make a sort of chain around them, she then took out the trumpet, and played it.
However, Kai managed to kick the trumpet out of her hands before the glow could start.
"You think we're that dumb to fall for Basco's tricks like our Sempais?" Kai scoffed, managing to turn the water chains into steam, freeing him and his brother.
"Gokai Change!"
=KYO~RYUGER!=
With this, Gokai-KyoryuBlue slammed her fist into the ground, forcing Kai and Tsubasa back before she grabbed the trumpet.
"Let's try this again," she responded before playing the trumpet, and this time, the two males grunted in pain as they glowed gold before the glow formed an orb with a golden M symbol within it.
"No! The Magiranger Grand Power!" Kai gawked as the Gokai-Kyoryuger caught the orb.
"Perfect, this makes five Grand Powers our my dear GokaiBlue," the hooded figure smiled, as Applejack handed her the Grand Power.
"I'll do anything to serve you, m'lady," AJ bowed.
"Good, now then. I need your Gokaiger Key, but only the Gokaiger Key. I think I got an idea to finish those goody-goody Gokaigers off," the figure smirked as AJ handed the GokaiBlue key to her.
"Excellent. Now then… Crimson and Navy to start…" the hooded figure muttered, analyzing the GokaiBlue key, and creating a data file on the computer, which began to form some digital suits, already gaining some color.
To be continued…
Pikatwig: Wow… both the Magirangers and Dekarangers lost their Grand Powers…
KKD: Not good.
Pikatwig: Not only them, but the villain also has the Grand Powers of the Shinkengers, the Boukengers and the Gekirangers.
KKD: Even worse.
Pikatwig: So that makes it, five for… whoever this is, and five for the heroes.
KKD: Seems even enough, but the villains have the potential to collect the Grand Powers much faster than our heroes. And boy, am I getting nervous for them.
Pikatwig: Anyway, references abound here. With Daigo mentioning that Jasmine and Gunpei (Go-On Black) look familiar to the Kyoryugers. Aibou, please explain why.
KKD: Well, for the Jasmine thing, it's very simple, the actress who played Jasmine (DekaYellow) came back in Kyoryuger as Nossan's (KyoryuBlue's) sister, and later transformed into KyoryuCyan. As for Go-On Black's connection… I'm a bit stumped to be honest, it's my first time hearing him being related to Kyoryuger. What, was he supposed to be Tessai and his descendant, aka both incarnations of KyoryuGray?
Pikatwig: No, that's BoukenSilver. Go-On Black is Ian's friend, who died thanks to Arigaon.
KKD: Oh, that guy! Well, maybe it had something to do with time or whatever, but I honestly didn't recognize him as the same cop from Go-Onger.
Pikatwig: Anyway, thoughts on the chapter?
KKD: I was quite impressed by how we ended up writing this. I don't know why, but whenever I write a chapter like this, though, where the villain is the one winning the battle, I felt a bit off and I wanted to write it where the heroes would quickly turn it around. But overall, a very good chapter.
Pikatwig: Favorite part?
KKD: ...That's a tricky one… I think the closest I can think of for a favorite part might be when Daigo and Jasmine arrive in Equestria and try to cheer up the current Gokaigers.
Pikatwig: For me… dunno.
KKD: Yea, this one didn't have that many highlights to it. But anyways, shall we end this off?
Pikatwig: Just Live More.
KKD: Jaa ne.
