KKD: After a long time, here's our newest chapter of SSZSK. And finally, we can figure out who the heck KyoryuGold is.
Pikatwig: This is the first official chapter that isn't paired with WBXKH.
KKD: Yea, and for those of you who are upset that this is no longer paired with WBXKH, I apologize, but it's been so long since I wrote for that story, I just can't seem to find the drive to start that up again, so my aibou and I moved SSZSK ahead to Saturday, so if what we said in the past few chapters from 7-11 felt old, that's because they were old.
Pikatwig: Let's get this chapter on.
KKD: Disclaimers, and then we start.
DISCLAIMERS: No one owns anything in this story. KKD only owns Takeshi Narumi, Hana Narumi, Luna Hashimoto, Alpha the Hedgehog, Akiza the Hedgehog, jointly owns Chaos Yuuki/Narumi alongside Overnerd02 (who also owns Sho Yuuki, C-chan's dad), and jointly owns Mirai the Hedgehog along with Gammatron. Pikatwig so far owns Ian the HedgeFox, Star the Hedgehog, Rock the Lion, Kaori the Hedgehog. Pikatwig and KKD jointly own Romance Knight PinkShocker. Everything else is owned by SEGA, Toei, Bandai, and their respective owners.
Near the mountains, in a forest, we find Dogold, all by himself, staring at a rock, and growling mad.
"Haratadashi… When I think about Kyoryuger, it makes me so angry I'm beside myself!" the Knight growled as he then thought of the Kyoryugers doing their roll call, and got so mad, he roared as he sliced through the rock before him with his sword, suddenly making it explode into tiny pebbles, but even that wasn't enough as he was suddenly swinging wildly in rage. "I want to fight! I have to fight! I need more combat!"
"It may very well be time," Chaos' voice figured, getting Dogold's attention as the Knight turned around to see Chaos was standing behind him the entire time.
"Chaos-dono!" Dogold gawked, straightening himself out.
"Your dark thirst for battle has nearly reached its apex. That should allow you to use Pteragordon's true power," Chaos told Dogold as the Raging Knight nodded and pulled out Pteragordon's corrupted Zyudenshi, but in the process, he dropped a yellow gemstone.
"KOI! PTERAGORDON!" Dogold roared as the Pteranodon came flying in with a screech.
"Pteragordon was the center of the Ten Great Zyudenryu's offense…" Torin explained to Sonic, Rouge, Takeshi, Jet, Akiza, and Star since they were the only Kyoryugers there. "He would be at the front of any assault."
"So you're kinda salty about losing your assault?" Takeshi asked, making the others stare at the hedgehog, indicating that it was a bad time to crack a joke. "Sorry… I'll be quiet."
"His partner was KyoryuGold..." Torin explained as he held up a slightly damaged normal Pteragordon Zyudenshi. "Who was killed by the wicked machinations of Chaos and Dogold."
This left the others kinda stunned at this revelation.
"That's why you're mad at Chaos…" Sonic realized, recalling what Torin said back on Bahia when they went to get Sonic's bag at first.
(Cue Flashback)
"My conflict with him stretches back farther than you could imagine," Torin told Sonic as he stared down Chaos before the two fired at each other.
(End Flashback)
"Gold hasn't even returned as a Spirit… and that is my fault," Torin sighed.
"Torin…" Akiza muttered.
"Pteragordon was damaged during their vile attack, as well. I sealed his power away and kept him hidden on the island now called Bahia which Gabutyra defends so he could recover," Torin added.
"So… if he's on our side, why did he attack us?" Star asked.
"Isn't it obvious, Star? The enemy's taken control of him…" Jet pointed out.
"How I meant," Star informed.
"Wait a minute… do you guys remember when that cake Monster took us captive?" Sonic asked the others.
"What about it, King?" Rouge asked.
(Cue Flashback)
"Let's take their Zyudenshi from them like we did with number-" Canderilla started before…
"AH! Canderilla-sama! Knock it off! We can't spoil it to them," Luckyuro responded before…
"OI!" Star announced, rushing over.
(End Flashback)
"Wait… you don't mean…?" Rouge started.
"They must have Pteragordon's Zyudenshi! GAH! Torin, is there any other means of controlling a Zyudenryu?" Sonic asked.
Before Torin could answer, he felt the breeze indicating an attack.
"That'll have to wait, Sonic. I'm sensing a wave of maliciousness!" Torin responded, waving his hand over the table, causing the center of it to turn into some type of video screen, showing Pteragordon attacking somewhere with his lightning.
"It's Pteragordon!" Jet gawked.
"Can this thing play video games?" Star asked.
"Bad timing, Star-kun," Akiza pointed out.
"This guy's causing a real mess this time," Rouge noted as the screen vanished, returning it to a stone table.
"Yosh! Ikuze minna!" Sonic smirked, grabbing his Gaburevolver in its holster.
"Right," the others nodded, doing the same… save for Star, who just said. "I'm serious, does this thing play video games?"
"Come on!" Akiza groaned, as she handed Star his Gaburevolver and dragged him out.
(Cue Music: Vamola! Kyoryuger)

Brave In!
Brave 12: Very Strong! Pteraiden-Oh!
In the city, the Zorima were constantly blasting people as Pteragordon screeched, landing on a nearby building.
"Your tears will be my gift to Aigaron!" Dogold exclaimed as he was down with the Zorima, now actually gripping someone by the neck, making the person panic and choke. "Now cry! Wail! And bring the Kyoryugers to me!"
"Wait…" the person choked before Dogold was blasted by something, making him let go of the person, who ran off, while Dogold turned to see who fired at him.
"Save yourself the trouble! We're already here!" Sonic shouted as he arrived with the other Kyoryugers.
"I see… I'm putting an end to this battle, today!" Dogold shouted as he stood with the Zorima. "That'll be the only thing that can calm my fury!"
"The feeling is mutual, Dogold," another voice added as the Kyoryugers turned to see Torin walk up, surprising them.
"Torin?" Sonic looked in confusion.
"On this day, I avenge my friend!" Torin vowed.
"Who're you supposed to be?" Dogold asked, making the others look in confusion.
"You claim to have forgotten me?!" Torin shouted.
"Stop babbling about your nonsense!" Dogold snapped before actually knocking the two Zorima next to him aside rather harshly, making Takeshi and Star gasp.
"Looks like he's mad at you, too!" Takeshi realized.
"How are you even able to control the Zyudenryu anyway?!" Star snapped, just making Dogold growl.
"I'll wipe you all out!" Dogold roared as he suddenly pulled out the corrupted Pteragordon Zyudenshi.
"Eh?! A Zyudenshi?!" Sonic gawked as the others were equally surprised.
"DEBOSS IN!" Dogold shouted, activating the Zyudenshi and then sending it up to Pteragordon, who chomped on it when it grew giant.
=GABURINCHOU! PTERAGORDON!=
"Oh boy…" Star sighed, as he saw the gemstone he got for his birthday shimmer a little.
"He can charge a Zyudenshi with his bravery?" Rouge pondered out loud.
"Time to change, guys!" Sonic shouted as he readied his Zyudenshi and Gaburevolver before the others followed his lead.
"Brave in!"
=GABURINCHOU! GABUTY~RA!/PARA~SAGAN!/STEGOCHI!/ZAKUTO~R!/DRICER~A!/STYME~RO!=
The presence of the Zyudenshi caused the gemstone to shimmer again, but shake a little as well.
"KYORYU CHANGE!" they shouted, spinning the chambers of their Gaburevolvers followed by the henshin dance, then… "FIRE!"
And so, the six Kyoryugers transformed, ready for battle.
"Let's do it!" Red shouted.
"Go get them!" Dogold ordered as the Zorima horde charged along with the Kyoryugers.
As the Kyoryugers charged, Torin pulled out a sword of his own as some Zorima got past the Kyoryugers and then tried to attack Torin, only to get slashed aside. Above, Pteragordon just flew and screeched before firing a bolt of lightning at the nearby building, frightening the innocents inside, and bringing down some debris within the building, blocking any escape for them.
"We're trapped!" a bystander gawked as he and the others shouted for help, their sorrow auras being sent off to the Deboss HQ, and into Aigaron's tower as he smiled at how he was getting more aura.
"I have no idea what's going on, but looks like I'm raking in aura!" Aigaron gawked before mimicking Luckyuro. "Lucky!"
"Ah! Stop copying me! It's creepy," Luckyuro snapped.
"Oh, that stings!" Aigaron corrected himself as Candelilla walked over to Lord Chaos.
"What's going on here?! I thought it was my turn to run an operation!" Candelilla responded to Chaos before turning around, a bit depressed as she looked at something containing the plans for her more recent monster. "And I came up with the perfect onsen plan to make the humans and Mobians happy!"
Candelilla then started crying a bit, feeling she was useless.
"Oh boy… you've failed three times, so you're on a break," PinkShocker said.
"She's right!" Luckyuro added, but then they all looked at the idea Candelilla had for her next Debo Monster.
"That's/It's…" the three started before trying to think of something to cheer up the Joyful Knight. "A great idea! Yeah!"
"I know, right?!" Candelilla smiled as she stood up.
"I bet that'd really sting when they first get in!" Aigaron added while Chaos just watched the battle ensue.
'If I still had that glimmer of bravery, I could help better' Torin thought.
"This is bad! There are people inside!" Red gawked, looking at the rubble that fell while avoiding Dogold's attacks. "Jet! Akiza! Star! Help the people that got trapped!"
As Red shouted the orders, Torin and Dogold quickly got into a swordfight.
"Rouge and Takeshi, call your Zyudenryu!" Red added while helping Torin fend off Dogold.
"Okay!" Green, Pink, and Magenta nodded, rushing to the building.
"Got it!/Alright, let's go!" Black and Blue nodded as they ran off to get a clear shot in throwing their Zyudenshi. "BRAVE IN!"
"Koi, Parasagan!/I need you, Stegochi!" the two Kyoryugers shouted as they threw their Zyudenshi, each one reaching their respective Zyudenryu.
"Yosha, go for it!" Blue shouted.
"Perfect! I can take control of more Zyudenryu!" Dogold said as Pteragordon fired it's lightning again, but it barely did anything to Stegochi and Parasagan just blocked the attacks and fired its tail gun at the Pteranodon, who dodged all the fire.
"If we can't shoot that thing down, we're in real trouble…" Black muttered.
"The Deboss Army has taken away too much already! You will not get another one of my brave warriors!" Torin snapped, as he snapped his fingers while continuing the sword duel with Dogold.
"ARMED ON!" Green, Pink, and Magenta shouted.
=MECCHA MUCHA!=
And so, the three aimed their weapons, ready to clear the debris in front of the building.
"We'll get you out of there!" Pink shouted.
"Back away, please," Green added as the people behind the debris did so.
"Here we go!" Magenta added.
"Okay!" the people behind the debris nodded as they backed up and the three Kyoryugers cleared the debris away, revealing the panicking people desperate for help.
"It'll be okay!" Green assured.
"You'll be out in a second!" Pink added.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine!" Magenta replied before the three rushed in.
In a nearby warehouse, Dogold was still fighting off Torin and Kyoryu Red, the latter mostly avoiding the attacks.
"Come at me!" Dogold roared before he and Torin were back to deflecting each others' blades.
This went on for quite a while, Red later getting sense to use his Gaburicalibur, but Dogold just tossed him aside like he was nothing.
"I need a new weapon," he muttered as Red saw Torin blast Dogold with some of his power and soon dash forward, slashing Dogold at the waist, forcing the knight to his knees.
He stood up, ready to continue before Dogold noticed Torin had his blade to the Debo Monster's neck.
"This is the end," Torin informed, and was prepared to slash once more, but then he suddenly flinched, feeling a sudden pain, making him grunt in pain and backed up.
"You're wide open!" Dogold roared, charging in to slash at Torin again, but…
"TORIN!" Red shouted, getting between the two, his back to Dogold as he took the full force of the blow.
"SONIC!" Torin gawked, seeing Dogold's blade on Red's should, but he shoved it aside as the Kyoryuger prepared his Armed On mode.
"Armed On!" he shouted, getting the added armor and Gabutyra Fang.
=MECCHA MUCHO!=
Suddenly, with a roar, Red charged forward, punching Dogold in the face with the Gabutyra Fang. This flung the knight outside, not that far from Black and Blue, onto his face, unaware of some strange crack in his face near his left eye.
"Onore, KyoryuRed!" Dogold roared as Red and Torin ran out, the Knight quickly getting to his feet. "Very well! I 'll have to show you my new power!"
This confused the two as Black and Blue rejoined Red and Torin while Dogold turned to look up at Pteragordon.
"PTERAGORDON!" he shouted, making the Zyudenryu fly in with a screech, making the heroes nearby a bit nervous. "KAMINARI HENKEI!"
"Kaminari Henkei?" the three Kyoryugers said confused.
"Oh no…" Torin added as Dogold jumped up towards Pteragordon, the Zyudenryu executing an Aileron Roll (more popularly mistaken as the Barrel Roll) while covered in lightning.
Next thing they noticed was that Pteragordon was now in a humanoid mecha form, with a black cape. It stood regally on top of a building, Pteragordon's normal head sticking out of the chest, part of the wings becoming the robot's arms, the rest of it and the Zyudenryu's legs forming the mecha's legs, and a new head on top. Inside, Dogold stood in a cockpit, on an all black stand similar to that the Kyoryugers used, with his sword at the ready.
"Kansei, Pteraiden-Oh!" Dogold roared.
"Ugh! He can transform into a humanoid by himself?!" Red gawked.
Meanwhile, Green, Magenta, and Pink were still escorting people out of the building. Then, they heard Pteragordon's screech before turning to see Pteraiden-Oh, and gasped at the sight.
"That's-!" Green gawked.
"Oh no, we have this to worry about now?!" Magenta gawked as Pteraiden-Oh looked down, and just waved his cape before more lightning struck down, the blasts seemingly hitting Green, Pink, and Magenta.
"WATCH OUT!" Red shouted as he and the others tried to avoid the blasts, but it was clear they barely escaped the blast.
"Sonic… use the Kamitsuki Gattai!" Torin ordered.
"But Jet, Akiza, and Star are still-" Red started.
"The three of you will have to do it. Quick, before we lose any more ground!" Torin insisted. "Pteraiden-Oh is more powerful than you can comprehend!"
"Got it!" Red nodded, grabbing a Zyudenshi. "Brave In! Koi, Gabutyra!"
=GABURINCHOU! GABUTY~RA!=
With that, Gabutyra jumped in, ready to help.
"Kamitsuki Gattai!" Red added as Gabutyra prepared himself with Parasagun and Stegochi.
=GABURINCHOU! PARA~SAGAN!=
=GABURINCHOU! STEGOCHI!=
=HA HA! SIM, HA, HA!=
=KYORYUZIN! GA-GA~N! GO-CHI~N!=
And so, inside Kyoryuzin, the three Kyoryugers set their Gaburevolvers in, ready to try and fight back.
"Kyoryuzin, Parasagan + Stegochi!" they shouted before Kyoryuzin fired with Parasagan's blaster, but Pteraiden-Oh just flew above the shots and zapped them.
Then, as Dogold kicked inside Pteraiden-Oh's cockpit, the golden mecha kicked Kyoryuzin in the chest before landing a distance aways. Next thing the group saw, Pteraiden-Oh flipped up some reverse grip blades that were formerly part of Pteragordon's wings, and was ready to attack again. It then charged forward before slashing towards Kyoryuzin, who was now barely holding it back with Stegochi's shield. The Sentai thrusted the blade off and tried to strike again, but Pteraiden-Oh got some free shots in.
"Parasagan!" Black shouted as Kyoryuzin used said limb to fire at Pteraiden-Oh, who just blocked the shots with his cape, much to the team's frustration.
"Why do bad guys get capes? Because it helps their es-cape? Huh?" Blue joked.
"Bad time Nossan!" Black shouted as they saw Pteraiden-Oh jump into the air and then slashed at Kyoryuzin again.
"This is bad! We can't fight back!" Blue panicked.
"See, this is what happens when you make bad puns, you get pun-ished!" Red shouted.
"Not helping, King! He's too strong!" Black pointed out.
"Oh listen to me, your stupid joke telling is rubbing off on the rest of us Nossan!"
Then, the group saw Pteraiden-Oh land and the jaw of Pteragordon open up, charging an electrical attack.
"You're done for. I'll blow you away!" Dogold growled as Kyoryuzin and the Kyoryugers inside him gawked at what would happen, but Red thankfully thought quickly.
"Nossan, throw your shield at him!" Red shouted.
"EH?! We can't defend without the shield!" Blue countered, getting serious this time.
"Just do it, hurry!" Red snapped.
"Pteraiden-Oh NOW!" Dogold shouted as Pteraiden-Oh fired the blast, but then…
"STEGOCHI!" Blue shouted as Kyoryuzin tossed the shield, and it surprisingly held off the blast, even staying in midair to hold it.
"Now, Rouge!" Red shouted.
"I get it, King! Parasagan!" Black responded as she had her aibou fire away at Pteraiden-Oh, making the shield tilt, sending the full attack up into the air before the shots continued to fire at Pteraiden-Oh.
Dogold and Pteraiden-Oh tried to deflect the blasts, but one ended up hitting Pteraiden-Oh's head, causing a bit of electrical backlash in the cockpit, enough to cause a few explosion and to knock Dogold to his knees.
"Onore…" Dogold growled, before grunting and… suddenly, a section of his face fell off, which included the left eye, revealing… gold fur and a blue eye.
Dogold then saw this piece on the ground and gasped.
"This is-?" he started, suddenly hearing a female's voice mixed with his.
The knight then looked in the silver reflective surface of his control stand and saw the gold fur and blue eye under his own face and gawked, both voices reacting in unison.
"What the… There's something underneath me…" Dogold panted as he just looked up and struggled to stand as Pteraiden-Oh recovered from the blast.
Back in the Deboss HQ, all the other Knights and Luckyuro gasped at what was happening, with Chaos just grunting and growling.
"What in the world?!" PinkShocker gawked. "Why did he stop?!"
"The joy of battle has stopped! BOO DOGOLD!" Candelilla added.
"Seriously?! That really stings!" Aigaron exclaimed as well.
"UNLUCKY! Wait… is that a Mobian? What the heck?!" Luckyuro responded.
Back at the battle, Pteraiden-Oh just took to the air and transformed back into Pteragordon and flying off, leaving Kyoryuzin, and the Kyoryugers within confused.
"He took off.." Blue noticed "But why?"
With that, Red dialed up Jet, Akiza, and Star on his Mobuckle phone.
"Jet! Akiza! Star! What's going on?" Red asked.
"We got everyone to safety!" Pink confirmed.
"And… where'd Ptera...raiger go?" Magenta asked.
-Pteraiden-Oh? He flew off as Pteragordon again. But you guys did a good job! Can you three go after Dogold?- Red responded.
"Leave it to us," Green nodded as Pink hung up and each one pulled out their Deinochaser Zyudenshi.
"Brave In!" they shouted, activating the batteries and inserting them into the Gaburevolvers.
=GABURINCHOU! DEINOCHASER!=
And so, they fired and summoned the three Deino and Chase components of their bikes, making them combine before they all hopped onto the motorcycles and drove off.
"Random question, why can't the bikes be themed after all of us, like say Red's is like Gabutyra, and mine can be based on Stymero, or Pink's be based on Dricera?" Magenta asked randomly.
"I think only Deinochaser has that kind of ability to have a bike counterpart, Star," Green informed.
"I meant after they're summoned, they don't change or anything, just odd,"
"What do you think this is, Empire City? We're not Power Rangers," Green said.
Pink then smacked him and said "Jet, this toku universe, and that toku universe have NOTHING to do with each-other!"
"What?" Magenta asked in confusion.
"Forget it, let's keep going, we have to catch up with Dogold," Green reminded.
Back in the Deboss HQ, the Deboss Army were still trying to come to grips with what happened.
"What was that?! He was winning, and now it's all for nothing!" Aigaron cried. "That really stings!"
"This is an ill omen…" Chaos informed, confusing the Knights as he played his hand over each of their pillars as they had done, one at a time, until all of them glowed.
They gawked as the four pillars shot out energies from their respective knights before they formed a new sort of monster colored a shade of blue, purple, and bits of yellow and red with all four faces on its body, and it resembled a trilobite, or some kind of invertebrate creature that came before the dinosaurs.
"I am a Cambrima!" the monster informed. "I am 100 times stronger than a Zorima!"
"Another new thing? Wow, all we need is a new Knight and we'd win," PinkShocker said, as Chaos gave a smirk, snapped his fingers and the Frozen Palace began to shake again…
Back in the Spirit Base, Sonic winced having his jacket off while Takeshi tightened up a bandage around the hedgehog's shoulder.
"Alright, that should do it," Takeshi figured as he finished.
"Thank you," Sonic smiled as Torin walked up to the three.
"I'm sorry, Sonic…" Torin bowed.
"I've never seen you that worked up before!" Sonic noticed as he put his jacket back on.
"I was too desperate to make up for my past dishonor…" Torin sighed, looking away from the others.
"You're not exactly quelling our curiosity here, you know that?" Rouge pointed out.
"Torin, could you tell us what happened?" Takeshi asked.
Torin just sighed before turning around to look at the three.
"KyoryuGold was a warrior four hundred years ago… during the Sengoku era," Torin started. "Chaos and the others saw him as a dangerous threat, so they went after him, viciously… To throw his emotions into disarry, they attacked his Mobian and human friends."
(Cue Flashback)
"Jurota! Jurota!" a mobain wolf samurai warrior wearing gold and blue while, oddly enough, wearing gold and blue clothes, shook his dead friends' body after a fierce battle, causing him to cry, his voice sounding like a young male's, rather than that of a experienced warrior like his appearance set off.
"Alas, they were also able to capture me…" Torin of the present added as the young samurai looked up, seeing a bunch of Zorima, and beyond them, Dogold and Chaos held Torin captive.
"All those who know you will taste death!" Chaos informed Torin as Dogold held his blade out near the bird's neck, making him gasp.
"And we'll cap it off with this one!" Dogold added as he lifted his blade, ready to strike down Torin, when…
"STOP!" the young wolf roared, suddenly changing into a golden Kyoryuger, similar to KyoryuWhite, but he had two shoulder pads, mini-capes resembling wings of a Pteranodon, and the helmet had a similar flare, but what was yellow on most suits here was a dark blue; the Kyoryuger charged, wielding a large sword that was shaped like a Pteranodon's beak and colored after the senshi; on his left wrist was a sort of device that was blue at the handle, had a small Pteranodon head, and had a small wing on the side that resembled a folded up blade.
Gold then charged, slashing his blade in the air, destroying the Zorima. Just as Dogold was about to bring his blade down on Torin, Gold pulled a hidden trigger of the device on his left wrist, suddenly making it fire energy arrows, hitting Dogold and Chaos in the process, and freeing Torin. Then, KyoryuGold and Dogold started fighting with each other, using impressive sword skills, but KyoryuGold had more of the edge.
"Retreat, for now!" Chaos ordered Dogold as the priest created a dark portal behind Dogold, who quickly dashed into it.
"HOLD IT!" KyoryuGold shouted, following after Dogold, causing a massive surge of electricity to spark from both as the portal closed.
"Gold vanished into the depths of the darkness, along with Dogold…" Torin of the present added as the portal closed with the screams of the two, and a huge explosion, but also spitting out the damaged Pteragordon Zyudenshi.
(End Flashback)
"But Dogold was the only one to return," Torin sighed. "I can't forgive those callous monsters… Or myself, for letting them use me to get to Gold."
Torin only looked at the damaged Pteragordon Zyudenshi, which he seemed to keep as a memoir of his fallen teammate, before he squeezed the battery tightly in his hand.
"Like Rouge with her friend…" Takeshi said.
Rouge at first nodded before it registered to her what Takeshi said.
"Oi!" she responded.
Back in the forest Dogold was seen in earlier, Dogold struggled back towards where he slashed the rock into pebbles, but it was clear that he was in shock of what he discovered was underneath him.
"I'm Mobian?" the knight gawked and panted, both his own and the female's somehow in sync, while holding the eyepiece that broke off from Dogold's face. "I'm a pathetic, puny Mobian?! That can't be! ...IMPOSSIBLE! Plus… it's a GIRL!"
In his anger, he punched the nearby rockwall in his anger, panting in his rage, infuriated by this revelation.
"Calm yourself, Dogold," Chaos' voice responded, as he arrived in the area, making Dogold turn around to see the priest.
"C-Chaos-dono! There's a Mobian face inside of me!" Dogold responded in a panic.
"I told you to calm yourself," Chaos insisted before his eyes glowed, causing the piece of Dogold's face to glow purple and float back up over the hole in the Knight's face before merging back completely, and the female voice was silenced.
"I've brought some assistance. He will fight at your side," Chaos replied, pointing to the Cambrima that came with Chaos, who soon kneeled before the two like a european knight before royalty.
"Man, though. Dogold really irritates me!" Sonic replied. "He's a bad guy, but he managed to Brave In!"
"How is it even possible for the Deboss Legion to do that?" Rouge pondered out loud.
'It's strange. Only those who are true heroes should possess the ability to Brave In…' Torin added in his thoughts. 'And Dogold didn't remember me, either. ...I-It can't be...'
Suddenly, they heard the jingle of the Mobuckle, which caused Sonic to check his.
"It's Jet, Akiza, and Star! They must've found him," Sonic figured.
"I see… so Torin has a vendetta against Dogold," Green nodded, he, Pink, and Magenta having been informed of what Torin told the other three.
"Guys… I have a feeling Torin isn't telling us something about this Gold," Magenta added.
"We'll figure that out in a bit Star-kun. Right now, we know Dogold's in these mountains somewhere," Pink told the others, including those contacting via the Mobuckle. "Once we find him, we'll let you know!"
Suddenly, they heard a strange noise before looking up and see the Cambrima before it blasted them with some type of energy attack from its club, releasing aura faces like those on the Debo Monsters and pillars, which also fired lasers at the three, making them all scream.
"Oi! Jet, Akiza, Star, what's going on?!" Sonic asked having heard the sounds.
"They're under attack!" Rouge realized.
"Iko!" Takeshi responded.
"Yeah!" Rouge agreed as they grabbed their Gaburevolvers and rushed out.
'Heh, can't help but wonder if any of them will figure it out without me,' Torin thought to himself.
Later, Sonic, Rouge, and Takeshi were dashing along a road towards the forest where their friends were attacked. Yet, somehow, they ended up in some sort of rock quarry.
"Where'd they go?!" Sonic asked as the three looked around.
"They're in our clutches!" a voice informed as the Cambrima arrived on a cliff above the three Kyoryugers, who looked up after hearing the monster's voice, and they also saw Dogold with it; the three then pulled out their Gaburevolvers, ready to fire when…
"Be careful!" they heard as they turned to see Torin had joined them. "That's a Cambrima! One of Chaos' elite soldiers!"
"Take a look at this…" the Cambrima spoke, showing some kind of crystal ball, and in it, it showed the images of Jet, Akiza, and Star all tied up in vince and locked in a cage; all three were completely knocked out, and seeing this made Rouge lower her Gaburevolver.
"Boy! Akiza! Star!" she gasped.
"I'm sure you understand," the Cambrima continued as Takeshi nervously lowered his Gaburevolver, while Sonic remained firm with his. "These three are our hostages. A single word from me and they will be executed. Now, Dogold-sama..."
However, Dogold just stood their, tightening the grip on his sword, and grunting rather nervously, which didn't escape the Cambrima's attention.
"Dogold-sama? What's the matter?" the Cambrima asked.
"Grr… I don't know! But it's infuriating! I don't know why, but having to do this is making me livid!" Dogold roared.
"Chaos-dono sent me to ensure your victory, Master," the Cambrima reminded Dogold before turning back to the three Kyoryugers. "Now, Kyoryugers, admit defeat, and face your deaths!"
"Whoa, hold up! Don't you mean 'admit defeat, OR face your deaths?!" Takeshi responded.
"You should know the Deboss by now to know that they mean what they say, Takeshi," Torin sighed.
Takeshi only grunted before looking towards Sonic.
"King!" Takeshi responded, nervousness in his voice as he and Rouge saw Sonic didn't lower his Gaburevolver for even a second.
"Now, put down your gun," the Cambrima insisted, which seemed to cause some reaction, as Sonic eased his grip on the gun, even looking like he'd drop it.
The Cambrima just smirked at this, getting a content grunt from the monster, but Sonic just looked right back up, spun the Gaburevolver by the trigger hold, before suddenly regripping it and firing two blasts, shattering the crystal ball in the Cambrima's hand, making almost everyone gasp.
"What are you doing?! I told you to drop it! What kind of baka would shoot?!" the Cambrima snapped.
"Which one of us is a baka?" Sonic responded confidently. "Maybe if you had caught some weak people, we might've had to put our guns down. But you happened to take two really strong people hostage."
Hearing this made the Cambrima growl in anger.
"We're a Sentai! That means we're invincible when united… but also super strong individually!" Sonic added. "I trust in their strength."
"S-Sonic…" Torin gawked.
"I bet Gold must be a really nice guy," Sonic figured of Torin. "If he hadn't been upset by Dogold's cowardly crap, he would've turned the tables."
Unknown to the others, Dogold almost grunted.
"The Warriors of the Strong Dragons would never doubt Torin's strength!" Sonic smirked, showing his pendant in response, making Torin gasp.
"The… Warriors of the Strong Dragons…" Dogold muttered, actually stumbling backwards.
"Then your friends will be executed!" the Cambrima responded.
"Or, we could beat you guys first and take them back!" Sonic smirked as Rouge and Takeshi took their places back beside him as they prepared to transform.
"Brave In!"
=GABURINCHOU! GABUTY~RA!/PARA~SAGAN!/STEGOCHI!=
"Come on!" Sonic smirked before posing.
"It's easy to see how your mind works," Rouge replied as she got set as well.
"Yeah, King's thinking!" Takeshi added with a pun, but this time as they were set to battle, no one objected.
"Kyoryu Change!" they shouted starting the process to transform. "FIRE!"
"Get them, Zorima!" the Cambrima roared as the grunts of the Deboss Legion appeared and charged towards the Kyoryugers.
"Armed On!" they shouted.
=MECCHA MUCHA!=
"It's gonna get wild! Try and stop us!" Red roared before the three charged and attacked, with Torin just watching.
"Sonic… you have such unwavering bravery!" Torin noted, snapping his fingers. 'If only I had some of that..'
Back in the fight, Red mostly used the fist with his Gabutyra Fang, dealing massive damage to the grunts. Blue was doing something similar with his shield, along with his typical moves. And Black was dodged the attacks before firing with her ParasaShot. Then, the three jumped up to the level of the Cambrima and began attacking it, who countered with his club, but Dogold just stood there watching.
"Why!? Why, why!? Why does this infuriate me so much?!" Dogold roared. "What is the source of my fury?!"
"What's the matter, Dogold-sama?! Use Pteragordon and destroy these fools!" the Cambrima shouted, still deflecting the attacks from the Kyoryugers.
This went on for a bit until Blue was up close, constantly punching the Cambrima in the gut, but when Red was about to charge…
"King!" Black responded, making Red stop as she ran up to him. "We'll handle him. you go after Dogold. Use this with your Gabutyra Fang."
Red looked a bit confused at first before Black handed her weapon to him.
"OK!" Red nodded as Black rushed off to help Blue. "I get it! This works!"
Red then charged suddenly, using the ParasaShot to fire at Dogold, making the knight stumble before looking at Red, making the two start dueling, mostly with Red attacking and Dogold trying to deflect the attacks. But it wasn't long before Dogold went on the offensive, Red soon catching Dogold's blade with his Gabutyra Fang. The struggle continued, the two exchanging blows, mostly with Red using his Gabutyra Fang to attack Dogold who deflected it with his sword, and vice versa. Again, this continued until one moment, Red actually attempted to slash Dogold with the blades on the ParasaShot, only for Dogold to duck underneath the slash. It wasn't until a few seconds later when Dogold kicked Red a few yards away.
"I'm still good for more!" Red scoffed.
"Tch! Onore!" Dogold growled before getting into a pose with his sword. "Ready to Rumblade!
"Well, then in that case…" Red smirked before combining his Gabutyra Fang with the ParasaShot as it starting to form the Kentrospiker, and prepared it like a gun of sorts. "I'll call it… the Fang Shot!"
Then, Dogold roared as he slammed his sword on the ground with a huge jolt of electricity, sending a huge wave Red's way before Red fired the newly named Fang Shot at the blast, resulting in a struggle between the two blasts until Red's broke through and launched faster at Dogold, making the knight roar, and, to Red's shock, Dogold's entire face was blasted off and into pieces like it was a ceramic jar! Dogold still panted like himself at first while covering the hole in his head, but it was only then when the others stopped fighting and noticed what happened.
"Dogold-sama!" the Cambrima gasped in shock before Black took advantage of this and grabbed the monster's arm.
"Nossan!" she yelled.
"Yosh! Stego Shield Punch!" Blue shouted, rearing back his fist with the shield, and then throwing the punch, with Black moving out of the way while the Cambrima was sent flying away. "Yatta!"
Then, the three heroes and Torin regrouped until they saw Dogold remove his hands from his face, revealing in the hole that was left behind, the face of a female wolf Mobian with gold fur and blue eyes.
"EH?!" is the reaction of the three Kyoryugers.
"Dogold's a Mobian?!" Red gawked.
"A girl no less!" Blue added.
"And… she seems rather cute," Black admitted before Blue and Red smacked her.
"Knock it off," they groaned as Torin was the most stunned.
"Th-Then it really is you!" he gasped, recognizing the Mobian trapped under Dogold's body. "Tsurugi!"
"Eh?" the female wolf panted, trying to grasp what was going on. "Tsu...Tsurugi?"
"Wh-Who's that girl?" Red asked Torin.
"Yea!" Blue added as he, Red, and Black were all confused.
"The legendary woman who went undercover as a male swordsman whose name was supreme in the Sengoku period! Tsurugi!" Torin answered. "KyoryuGold's true identity!"
"EH?! SHE'S KYORYUGOLD?!" all three gawked.
"Wait… you said she was a boy earlier!" Red said.
"I made a vow back then, unless anyone were to discover her true gender, I was to always refer to her as a male to hide her secret," Torin informed. "It would've been a disgrace back then if the samurai of the Sengoku period learned one of their warriors was really a woman."
"Like Mulan?" Blue said, making a comparison.
"Yea. You could say that."
"Back then, life was a sengoku, it was survival, they had to move," Red said.
"Those sound like song lyrics," Torin responded.
Suddenly, they all heard Dogold's sinister laugh once again, looking down at the remains of Dogold's face, seeing it was connecting itself again with some electricity until Dogold's face was completely restored.
"Took you long enough to figure it out, Torin!" Dogold laughed at Torin just realizing the fate of KyoryuGold.
"I see… then you're the real Dogold!" Torin figured, speaking to the face of Dogold on the ground.
"Exactly. See, I'm actually just the armor!" Dogold explained.
"Then Gold didn't die?!" Blue gawked.
"So you were controlling her the whole time!" Red shouted, pointing at Dogold.
"I was able to take control of Tsurugi-chan's mind while it was fueled by rage…" Dogold explained.
(Cue Flashback)
Dogold had already entered the portal of darkness earlier when Gold jumped in after him, causing the electrical surge before the explosion and portal closing.
"And I trapped her inside me...!" present Dogold explained as we look inside the portal, seeing the enrage silhouette of Tsurugi in her male disguise suddenly being covered in Dogold's armor, causing her to scream.
"So that one day I could take control of her Zyudenryu," present Dogold continued as in the flashback we see Tsurugi struggling against the armor, trying to break free, but then Dogold's face attached onto hers, forming the Dogold the Kyoryugers the team had been fighting all this time. "It was Boss Chaos' idea!"
(End Flashback)
Tsurugi stared at Dogold's face and her face showed an expression of shock, but was beginning to be contorted with anger.
"No…" she muttered as she stood up. "Then… this entire time!?"
"The legendary female hero was wreaking havoc as an evil enforcer!" Dogold finished, as Red actually took Torin's sword and charged forward.
"LEAVE KYORYUGOLD ALONE!" he shouted as he tried to slash at the mask, who managed to avoid the strikes. "Stop moving!"
However, Dogold practically ignored Red, making the Kyoryuger flop onto the ground while the mask looked back at the stunned Tsurugi trapped in his body.
"Pretty hot idea, right, Tsurugi-chan?!" Dogold responded, almost smirking, but Tsurugi just grimaced in anger as she gripped Dogold's sword.
"Keep calm, maybe you can break free of his control that way!" Black shouted
However, Tsurugi wouldn't listen as she just roared in rage as she slashed at the mask, who, like with Red, avoided the attacks easily and even laughed in victory.
"Yes, that's the anger I'm talking about!" he laughed. "Haratadashi… isn't it?"
"She always had a bit of a bad temper," Torin told the others.
Thus, sadly, the heroes were forced to just stand there and watch as Tsurugi, in her near-blind rage, slashed at the cackling face of Dogold while stuck in said knight's body.

Pikatwig: Oh boy! Gold sanjou!
KKD: I bet you were quite surprised by the fact that KyoryuGold was actually a girl, am I right, aibou?
Pikatwig: Didn't see that coming.
KKD: Yea. I gotta give props to our fellow aibou, Overnerd02 for providing her for us. However, he said himself he had more of a concept for her along with her backstory and personality, so I guess since we helped design her a bit, she can be, to an extent, owned by all three of us. Thanks again, O.N. for letting us use Tsurugi for this fic. So, what was your favorite part of the story, aibou?
Pikatwig: The part where Akiza snapped at Jet with the line of the two toku worlds being separate, for those curious, I got that from Kid Icarus Uprising.
KKD: My favorite part was the revelation of Tsurugi being KyoryuGold, and a girl. All the hints up until then really aimed at Tsurugi being a guy, even in the flashback with her outfit and how I described her voice at that point. I bet that really threw everyone for a loop.
Pikatwig: Yep…
KKD: You okay aibou? You still seem shocked.
Pikatwig: Still a little surprised is all.
KKD: I see. And now, to preview my 30th story, and allow greater expansion for it with what input you readers can come up with, here is a nifty little segment to help get you into it, and I will design my character to show you an idea of how this'll work. By the way, this series was inspired by Kirbopher's TOME series, so if I sound like I'm taking something from his show, that could be the reason why. Anyway, here's my little gift to you, the viewers, for having stayed with me for the past 2+ years I've been doing this fanfiction thing.
=Welcome to the Mugen Adventure Xros Game's Traveler's guide. This will be a quick and easy guide through the virtual world of MAX-G for players that are just starting out. The first thing you'll need to do before beginning your journey is to create a player character. MAX-G's in-depth creator character system has a wide array of body types, hair styles, clothing, and add-ons that can help make your personal avatar character completely unique to you. The system also allows for combinations, where you can take any number of characters from any number of franchises you like, and merge them in ways you prefer; it is also designer friendly and allows for pre-existing designs based on provided images to be quickly translated into a fully rendered model for gameplay. Your design will however need to be approved by network administrators.=
KKD: By this, it basically means you are free when it comes to designing your own personal character in any way you wish, as long as I can consider it okay for the story. For an example of a character without describing some other aspects this guide will explain later, here is my personal character in the format that I require you guys to place your characters' information in:
Gender: Male
Name: Takeshi Narumi
Age: 18
Birthday: 04/24
Country: U.S. (California); formerly Japan
Username: "KamenKen" aka "Ken"
Personality: Otaku to the core, may not know when is the best time to say some things, but gets serious when in a fight.
Human Character Background: A shy kid who lived in Japan. He moved to America after not succeeding at earning a job back home. He joined MAX-G as a means to chill after stressful days.
Physical Appearance: Essentially, this looks like a masked & armored version of Ken from Street Fighter, the main color being red with secondary colors being orange and the occasional yellow.
=Great! You've designed your character. Now let's take a look at MAX-G itself. The Mugen Adventure Xros Game is divided into seven connected regions: ;Haven, ;Orhill, ;Scarletera, ;Fayham, ;Icemill, ;Wyvern, and ;Greyiron City. ;Haven is an area dedicated entirely to social networking. ;Orhill is dedicated to in-game customization allowing players to create almost anything from weapons and spells for other players to utilize, to buildings and creatures to help expand the world of MAX-G in multiple ways since we always enjoy player input. ;Fayham is an area that accepts both social networking and the special customization. ;Scarletera is dedicated to combat between players. ;Icemill permits both battle contests and social networking, ;Wyvern allows players the features of special cutomization and fights, and finally ;Greyiron City allows for all three: social networking, special customization, AND competition. With a character in place, you can instantly get access to the ;Haven, ;Fayham, ;Icemill, and ;Greyiron City regions. In order to gain access to the region of ;Orhill to start creating, or access special customization areas in ;Fayham, ;Wyvern, and ;Greyiron City, you must send a request to the Webmaster, our highest administrator, along with a list of things you wish to create and/or incorporate into the game not just for your own benefit, but for the benefits and enjoyment of fellow players as well.=
KKD: Put simply, when you create a character with the format stated earlier, your character could have the potential to have a cameo or minor role within the story. But special customization is something I must be able to monitor and make sure; keep in mind this story is relatively new, so I will need some help in expanding this universe of a game. It will incorporate other games at some point, but I want to focus on MAX-G first and foremost when it comes to the story. So, if you wish to help me come up with new weapons, spells, buildings, areas within the seven regions, or even animals for the story that can serve a variety of purposes from mounts and pets to monsters and bosses, then be sure to send that along with the information of a character you wish to submit saying what you would like to create (weapons, spells, buildings/areas, creatures, etc.).
=But before you can go venturing into ;Scarletera, or compete in battles with other players while in ;Icemill, ;Wyvern, and ;GreyIron City, the next thing you'll have to do is acquire special abilities. Depending on the design of your character, the game will automatically determine which class you fall into. There are nine primary classes, but ten classes in total: Fighter, Spellcaster, Swordsman, Gunslinger, Rogue, Combat Medic, Animalistic, Morphological, Mechanical, and finally Shapeshifter. The first nine classes are available immediately, and will be determined based on design, but if you wish to create a character that can have access to the Shapeshifter class, a class that allow players to have access to multiple classes, you must have acquired a code that you must type in when logging in; this will allow you to set in multiple designs for your avatar, however, you must make sure that your character's designs are all within different classes, meaning you cannot have multiple Fighter class forms or multiple Rogue class forms for instance. You can obtain access to the Shapeshifter class by inserting either promotional codes from ads in KKD studios works, or using referral codes granted to you by players who invite you to join.=
KKD: This means your character's designs will determine what class they fall under, but unlike the guide said, if you wish to insert multiple forms, you'll need to ask me what classes you'd like to have your character take up, and then send me your designs. However, I'll only be accepting a specific number of Shapeshifter class characters, so if you want your character to be at least considered as a Shapeshifter class, then send me a PM with this code: SSZSKDo12. If your character is not accepted as a Shapeshifter and you still have multiple designs for your character, then feel free to let me know of the designs you have in mind, and I will send you a PM of which form I will use. For example, here is the class for my character, the code he inserted, and the classes and appearance of his other forms, as well as how they are accessed (being in parenthesis like this):
Class: Shapeshifter
Shapeshifter Access Code: SSKR2014
Aforementioned Appearance Class: Fighter (Default Form)
2nd Form Class & Appearance: Swordsman; a light gray and bright purple color scheme, this is like a cross between Kamen Rider Blade and a stereotypical medieval knight. (Accessed when Ken equips his avatar with the Tempest-Blade.)
3rd Form Class & Appearance: Gunslinger; best description for this form is a dark gray mix of a cowboy and a soldier. (Accessed when equipping himself with the Thunder Magnum)
4th Form Class & Appearance: Rogue; this is commonly described as a cross between Scorpion/Subzero & a more traditional ninja of stealth like Ryu Hayabusa that is mostly a dark blue with sky blue accents. (Accessed when he is granted and equipping the tundra ninja gear.)
5th Form Class & Appearance: Combat Medic; best considered to be a masked & hooded version of Robin Hood. (Accessed when equipped with the Terra-Shield.)
I will admit, there is more to this character… but that'd be spoiling, wouldn't it? But of course, classes alone don't make up a character; they all need their own skills in combat.
=Each class has a collection of different abilities, skills, items, and attributes that can be applied to your character based on the Zodiac System. The Zodiac System is a balancing program that calculates how many powers can be assigned to your character at one to allow fair chance between all players on MAX-G in unison. When your powers have been selected and balanced, all that's left is for you to assign a customized title to your special power, and your character will be fit to do battle in MAX-G.=
KKD: Let me clarify this, when you send me the idea for your character's design, I will attempt to create various powers based on design/description of your character, and later names of exact moves that they can/will use. But, if you wish to request specific powers for your character, let me know, and I will use them, and if needed add or remove something to balance out the skills of your character. To put this in perspective, here is what I have set up for each of my character's forms:
Fighter Form: Here, he is seen to control the fires of extreme temperatures, and use fire as easily as some characters execute Ki Manipulation, and uses it to enhance his finishing moves. This is also the most balanced of his forms.
Swordsman Form- This form has an emphasis of strength and speed, utilizing the winds to create tornados and increase his attack power.
Gunslinger- Speed is still an emphasis, but he now uses his attacks more from a distance, and is seen to use status ailments more on his foes this way. However, when it calls for it, this form is seen able to fire attacks that could be comparable to powers of actual thunderstorms.
Rogue Form- As most rogues are, this is specialized in stealth. This form could almost be labeled in the class of morphological due to how it manipulates water into various forms, while his main weapons are ice shuriken and kunai along with an ice staff and water nunchucks (or nunchaku as he prefers to call them).
Combat Medic Form- He often uses this when he and his allies are in need of health. He uses leeching attacks with the aid of arrows, and his terra-shield makes this form the most defensive, and he can temporarily make his allies invincible and grant unlimited ammo, too.
KKD: Of course, each form has their own weaknesses to allow fair play, so don't think Ken will always have the opportunity to stop his opponents with a One-Hit KO. So don't worry, I don't plan on overpowering my character, but if I end up doing so, I apologize in advance and will say it is mostly for displaying something regarding the plot. Okay, that's all I have for characters, and now, the rest of the preview will explain how your character enters, and then the rules of combat.
=When accessing the game, your character will appear through the walls of the world map that surrounds MAX-G based on your real world location. There are a number of specific entry points spread throughout all seven regions of MAX-G that you can select upon logging in. Once selected, your character will be transported to the entry point by way of flight and you'll be thrust right into action.=
KKD: This will explain why the characters may or may not meet up at the exact same spot every single time a chapter begins with them entering the game, and gives a preview of how they look like when they enter.
=Now it's time to get down to the nitty-gritty: virtual combat! Fights between players are executed standardly by way of what's called the Brawl Zone. When your opponent, or opponents, are set in place and have accepted your challenge, the Brawl Zone envelopes the surrounding area to a certain set of dimensions allowing to you compete with your selected challengers without interference.=
KKD: Keep that in mind, that will be important when the villains jump into battle in some of the regions.
=Using your pre-selected skills and abilities, you will fight against other players within the constraints of the Brawl Zone, until the losers run out of hit points, or are too overwhelmed to fight. Wins are added to your record and increase your rank and experience allowing you to become more and more powerful.=
KKD: Basically, this is a means of leveling up your characters, increasing their stats with each fight, and to help prove how strong you are against multiple opponents across the globe. You don't lose experience when you lose, of course, but it will affect your rank as with most characters.
=There are some rules and regulations when it comes to combat in the four regions of ;Greyiron City, ;Icemill, ;Wyvern, and ;Scarletera. ;Haven, ;Fayham, and ;Orhill are exempt due to them being battle-free zones. In ;Greyiron City, ;Icemill, and ;Wyvern, all matches MUST be set up and accepted by both parties before ANY fighting is allowed. There are also some within the ;Greyiron City walls where battles NOT allowed at all, due to spatial limitations of the Brawl Zone. In ;Scarletera, on the other hand, anything goes when it comes to combat. All challenges must be fought unless an opponent chooses to flee and forfeit their rank. The entire region is open for battle at all times, so it is possible to fight other players even if a Brawl Zone is not set up. However, if a player is defeated outside of these Zones, their rank will not be affected, and the player that defeated them will NOT gain any experience points, only bragging rights.=
KKD: That's all you need to know when it comes to combat in the story, but there's more in store within the actual story, and so, we will close this preview out with the last portion of the guide.
=When battling players in MAX-G, there are no limits; make full use of your carefully selected powers, and defeat your opponents by any means necessary. Aim to be the best and most skillful warrior in the virtual world! But above all else, have fun! From all of us at Sentai Software, we hope we could help you get a strong kickstart and eagerly await your grand appearance to the Mugen Adventure Xros Game. Play well, Brawl on, and until we see you, Jaa ne!=
KKD: Anyway, ending catchphrase time. Jaa ne!
Pikatwig: Just Live More.
