Pikatwig: This is, quite obviously, the Dekaranger tribute episode.
KKD: Yea, not to mention it was the Sentai I first made an attempt at the Sonic Sentai with, little tidbit.
Pikatwig: A Sentai, which thanks to it's PR counterpart rubbed me the wrong way for a little while until I gave that fic a look. Regardless, the Dekarangers were the first, onscreen team, that had their Grand Power stolen.
KKD: Yea. Despite in the show, it was the second to be recovered.
Pikatwig: True, true. Anyway, this chapter will have a surprise character focus… who it is, you'll see as the chapter goes on. Aibou, 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.
"I. Hate. Being. Sick," Dash sighed, as she was stuck in her old bedroom, ill.
"Sorry about this, Dash," Scootaloo apologized, "But I'm here to keep an eye on you."
"Thank you…" Dash sighed, and then she sneezed, but it was blocked from Scootaloo by a sort of green energy field around Dash. "Health shield..."
"Yep," Scoots nodded.
Then came a knock from the door, and Scootaloo trotted over to open it as Spike and Rosy walked in, Spike carrying a bowl of soup. Scootaloo glanced at the coat that Rosy had, and sure enough, the symbols of the Tokkyugers, Kyoryugers, Go-Busters, Magiranger, Abaranger, Gaoranger, Timeranger and Zyuranger were all blue, while the symbols of the Shinkengers, Gekirangers, Boukengers and the Dekarangers were all red, while all of the other ones were all still white.
"Hey Rainbow Dash, how you feeling?" Spike asked.
"Awful," she responded bluntly.
"Sorry about that. But I think you'll feel better if you try the soup I made," Spike smiled, putting it on her night stand.
Dash just took a sip of the soup, and then she smiled happily.
"Well, I've got to go and help Twilight with other things, come on Rosy," Spike told the cat, and she followed Spike out.

Chapter 21: Judgement Time, Gokaiger
"So, we're down one member until further notice," Rarity noted as they walked through the Crystal Empire.
"Seems that's the case," Twilight sighed.
"Deka, Deka, Dekaranger," Pinkie sung to herself, humming the beat to some sort of song.
"Uh… Pinkie, what are you singing?" Fluttershy inquired.
"I dunno,"
Suddenly, they saw somepony approach. It was a white unicorn stallion with a navy blue mane and tail with golden streaks in them, golden eyes, and a Cutie Mark of the Dekaranger symbol.
"Good day," he waved, passing by the five.
"...You look… peculiar," Rarity admitted.
"Nonsense," was his response as he trotted off.
"...Why does that sound… familiar?" Twilight wondered.
"Hey Scootaloo… can you try and imagine up a cool breeze, I'm sweating over here…" Dash requested.
"What do you think I'm doing? You asked me that a while ago, and now I'm freezing with how much wind I'm bringing in," Scootaloo answered.
"Oh… I did?" Dash asked.
"...Yea… three times," Scoots nodded, "Is the illness affecting your memory?"
"...what were we just talking about?" Dash responded.
"Gokai Change!" the five announced, having heard that the Neo-Goumin were attacking.
=GO~KAIGER!=
They arrived and looked around, seeing there wasn't any damage anywhere, all five exchanged a confused look.
"Where are the Neo-Goumin?" Yellow wondered.
"I dunno," Green shrugged.
"Maybe this is a set-up?" Blue figured.
"Correct, you dirty rotten thief," a voice spoke.
"Nani?!" Red gawked when all five saw white cards of sort, the cards then hit the five Gokaigers and they all got trapped into them, all back in civilian form.
"What the heck's going on here?!" Rarity gasped.
"All of the Gokaigers have been captured," the stallion from earlier announced into something on his left hoof.
-Good job Tetsu, bring them to the building for interrogation,"
"HELP! HELP!" Twilight shouted, as Tetsu sighed and put her card on mute.
"Oh no…" Spike gulped, having watched what just happened from behind a large crystal shard, which he took a small bite out of.
"Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!" Spike shouted, rushing back to the GokaiGalleon, only finding Dash still sick and Scoots caring for her.
"I'm sick Spike. Can't it wait until later?" Dash groaned.
"The others got kidnapped by some unicorn with the Dekaranger symbol for a Cutie Mark!"
At the same time in the catacombs below Canterlot, Sunset and her sort of crew were walking down in them, and Sunset was holding a map.
"These gems are all mine!" Star giggled, jumping onto several gemstones.
"That is so like you Star," Sunset responded.
"I hate gemstones," Sugar groaned annoyed as she spat on one of the diamonds.
"HEY! Show some respect for the gems!" Star snapped.
"How much longer?" Lighting groaned annoyed.
"Shut up Lighting," Cloud responded, equally annoyed.
"We're almost there," Sunset informed.
"We didn't do anything!" Rarity sobbed, and an annoyed Tetsu mute her containment unit as well.
"So, what are you gonna do with us? Play go fish? I don't think you'd be able to win with us since-" Pinkie started as she was mute as well.
"You pirates are held responsible for the theft of the Dekaranger Grand Power, and the Magiranger Grand Power," Tetsu informed, as he let all five out and put them in a make-shift cage.
"Excuse me, we, didn't steal anything. Applejack did, so keep her, and let the rest of us go," Pinkie shouted.
"Tell that to the blue cowgirl pony there," Tetsu replied, pointing to AJ.
"Ah'm not gonna dignify that with a response," Applejack responded.
"Well be aware that everything you say can and will be used against you," Tetsu added.
"Dude has a point," someone else added, as a red pegasus stallion walked over, having a red coat, black mane and tail, blue eyes, and the Dekaranger symbol for a Cutie Mark.
"Ano… are you two Dekarangers?" Twilight inquired.
"You are correct there, missy. I am Special Patrol Dekaranger officer, Ban!" the pegasus announced
"That's what SPD stands for? I thought it was Space Patrol Dekaranger," Pinkie admitted.
"Nonsense. It stands for Special Police Dekaranger," Tetsu corrected.
"Then why did he say he was a Special… nevermind," Twilight sighed.
Meanwhile, Spike was searching the Crystal Empire for Tetsu in any way, shape, or form, and coming up with zip, and he was not exactly in a good mood about what has been happening.
"What am I gonna do… oh wait!" Spike pondered, and then he smiled as he snapped his fingers and took out a Mobirate that he and Scootaloo shared, dialing up the other Gokaigers, and he wound up with no luck, "Darn it… where are those mares, anyway?"
Spike just looked around for a moment before looking back at the sight of where the others were captured, looking imprints the cards made into the ground, as well as the hoofprints left by Tetsu.
"Well, if no one will help me, I guess I'll have to track down that unicorn myself. Let's see… looks like he picked up the cards and went… South-East," he figured, following the tracks.
"So… you're the next GokaiRed," Tetsu began, as he and Ban were interrogating Twilight.
"Yea, that's right," she confirmed.
"The original was a good guy… to a degree… and you must be the bad girl leader," Tetsu spoke.
"Oh, come on! Who do you think I am? Some knock off wearing someone else's helmet?" Twilight snapped.
"I'm gonna level with you Ms… Sparkle?" Tetsu replied, checking to make sure he got her name correct.
"Twilight Sparkle to be more precise," she answered.
"Well then, Ms. Sparkle," Tetsu began.
"When did you think to send your Blue Senshi to steal Grand Powers, HUH?!" Ban near shouted at her.
"Ban! Don't rush into it," Tetsu responded.
"We never thought to do anything of the sort!" Twilight answered.
"...bring in their Green Senshi," Tetsu sighed.
"So… your name is Pinkie Pie… and yet you're their Green Senshi?" Ban inquired.
"Yep, that's right. Even thought of calling myself Greenie Pie to make things more interesting," Pinkie giggled, confusing the Dekarangers.
Both Tetsu and Ban had zero idea what to say for a moment and began to think. "So… you've obtained the Grand Powers of the Tokkyugers and the Kyoryugers?" Ban asked next.
"Yeppers! Well, technically, Dashie had the Kyoryuger Grand Powers and we had help getting the Tokkyuger one,"
"...Dashie?" both asked in confusion.
"Yea, she's… not here at the moment," Pinkie added.
"Uh… okay?" they shrugged.
"So… was it your idea to steal the Grand Powers?" Ban asked.
"Steal? That's… taking things without permission… right?" Pinkie responded.
"Yea," they both nodded.
"Oh no! I don't do that, me and Dashie learned that we shouldn't steal after she took this potion that enhanced her abilities, caused her to go faster than light," Pinkie started.
"Please… get her out of here… and make her shut up!" Ban requested of Tetsu.
"Okay,"
Back with Spike, he was still following the trail left by Tetsu when he saw the trail was gone, and he saw there was a building that had no windows, and where the trail ended, was the door.
"They must be in there!" Spike figured.
"Uh… who are you?" a new voice asked, as Jasmine approached him.
"AHH!" Spike gasped before covering his mouth, and glancing at her. "Oh hey, I remember you. You're DekaYellow, right?"
"Yep. You a friend to the new Gokaigers?"
"Yea."
Jasmine gave a nod, and then was picked up by the yellow pegasus and they she trotted in.
"So… you're the current GokaiPink, the kind one?" Ban asked, as Fluttershy gave a nervou nod. "Why don't you relax a little? Like a cup of tea or something?"
Fluttershy whimpered a bit, worried, but sat down regardless.
"Well you ain't gonna get any!" Tetsu shouted. "It's always the quiet ones, isn't it?"
Fluttershy whimpered, cowering in her seat, hiding behind her mane.
"So… when did you come up with the plan to steal our Grand Powers?" Ban inquired, Fluttershy only shaking her head to deny that she came up with it. "Oh? The silent treatment?"
"We have ways of dealing with that!" Tetsu added.
"We do?" Ban inquired.
"We do!" Tetsu informed. "As… soon as I remember what they are…"
Fluttershy just tried to hide under the table as the stallions thought.
"You guys are just ridiculous," Jasmine sighed.
"Aha! Now we have our way of dealing with silent treatment. You can read minds, right?" Tetsu responded.
"That's true," she nodded, "And I've read the memories of this young dragon, and I have proof that they're all good ponies."
"How can you trust someone like that? He's not even a part of this investigation!" Tetsu snapped.
"Hold up there, Tetsu. She might be on to something," Ban responded.
Thus, she put Spike down and then moved her hoof over his head, and caused memories of his to appear, and all of them showed that the Mane 6 were all good ponies who always did the right thing to help others, and those all around Equestria.
"Wow… I guess we were wrong… to degree," Tetsu informed.
"Good news you guys, you've been cleared up, you're free to go," Spike informed as he approached the group.
"I never said that," Tetsu informed.
This made Spike look on in surprise and confusion. "But you have nothing against any of them!"
"They have Grand Powers and the Ranger Keys. We don't need any other proof," Tetsu informed.
"What are you gonna do with us?"
"All of the Grand Powers and Ranger Keys will be returned to their proper owners," Tetsu informed, much to the group's shock and fear.
"I'm bored…" Onichan groaned, as she was playing a board game with Sparklefun.
"Oh, come on, Jizo-sama. How can you get bored of this game?" Sparklefun responded.
"Shouldn't we be putting our focus on trying to get the Ranger Keys?" Tankdom inquired.
"Well… yes. We do, what Action Comander do you have for me?" Onichan inquired going over to her pilot's seat.
Nekomed then shakily raised her hand to get Onichan's attention.
"What is it, Nekomed?" Onichan asked.
"Well, I… have created this kaijin… do you think we could send him?" she inquired, as a part dragon part rabbit walked in.
"I am Usaryu!" it announced.
"Interesting creation. Hmmm… go ahead and send him down,"
"Please, please, PLEASE, I'm begging you to let them go!" Spike pleaded to Tetsu.
"...are you like the comic relief guy or something?" Tetsu inquired.
"Ugh… not this again," Spike groaned, "Look, I'm trying to help my friends as much as I can, but just because I'm not a Gokaiger doesn't mean I'm not helpful, DekaYellow can prove it,"
Jasmine trotted over and placed her hoof on his head again, and sure enough, she showed flashbacks to prove his usefulness, and Tetsu just watched them.
"So you're the sidekick?"
"...I suppose you could say that," Spike sighed.
"Fair enough. But I'm not letting them keep the Ranger Keys or the Grand Powers," Tetsu informed, "The powers have been stolen and must be returned to their rightful owners as soon as possible."
"Don't you guys get it?!" Spike snapped, "Our whole world is at stake, and you guys are trying to steal our only means of defense?"
"Are you trying to accuse us of stealing? Like I said, the powers were stolen from others first, and our job is to return them, and your mare friends must pay for the crime of taking those powers seeing they are in possession of the stolen items," Tetsu insisted.
"Trust me, he's much stricter than some of us at SPD," Ban whispered to Spike.
"How did the Gokaigers get the Ranger Keys again anyhow?" Spike inquired.
"When the 39th and 40th Super Sentai teams, the Digi Sentai Virtualrangers and the Toa Sentai Matarangers teamed-up, the Neo-Zangyack launched their first attack on Earth, and they requested the Ranger Keys," Jasmine informed.
"Okay… wait… how can you say the powers are stolen when you let the Gokaigers have the Ranger Keys back?!"
"The original Gokaigers were allowed to have them back because they were deemed worthy to use them. This new team isn't! After the first Gokaigers went missing, so did the Ranger Keys and the Grand Powers were returned to their respective teams. HOWEVER! Word had been revealed later that the Gokaiger powers had been used again, along with the Ranger Keys, but by a bunch of new people. ...and this GokaiBlue came to steal our Grand Power along with the one from the Magirangers! I think I have every right to take back the Grand Powers and return the Ranger Keys!"
"The Neo-Zangyack has been attacking our world you idiot!" Spike snapped.
"He's right. All of these mares, while they didn't rightfully inherit the Gokaiger gear and powers, they did use them, to keep this world safe," Jasmine told Tetsu, "And from what I gathered, they did earn all the Grand Powers they have, except ours."
Tetsu didn't know what to think, when suddenly, the ground began to shake, and then suddenly Usaryu appeared, cracking open the roof.
"Uh oh," Spike gulped.
"Where are the Gokaigers?" he demanded.
"Alienizer?!" Ban gasped.
"You leave my friends alone!" Spike shouted, as he tackled Usaryu down to the ground.
"Strong dragon," Ban noticed as Spike flamed the Kaijin, and also burning part of the cell the five Gokaigers were stuck in.
This allowed AJ to charge out and buck Usaryu in the butt, before seeing her GokaiSaber was being hung on the wall, she quickly bucked the wall, and grabbed the saber in her mouth and began to slash at Usaryu.
"Wow... the thief is helping me?" Tetsu gawked.
"I said she's no thief!" Spike snapped, bitting the dragon's tail.
"Why wouldn't Ah help somepony in need?" AJ asked, getting Tetsu's attention.
"Oh… well, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding," Tetsu apologized, before rushing and returning the gear to the other Gokaigers much to their happiness.
"I guess it really is Dekarangers to the rescue," Pinkie noted.
"IKUZE, MINNA!" Twilight shouted.
"Gokai Change!"
=GO~KAIGER!=
Thus, the five charged at the Action Commander and knocked him out of the area they were in, and began to fight it. They slashed rapidly, blasting it once in a while, before Usaryu fell to the ground, seeing that now, it was late at night.
"Why is it that you fight us?!" Usaryu demanded to know,
"We fight to protect our home. And we'll always give it everything we've got!" GokaiRed shouted as the five charged, with GokaiRed slashing and blasting, while GokaiGreen and GokaiBlue blasted it back, leaving room for GokaiYellow and GokaiPink to slash at Usaryu.
"Well no matter what, the Neo-Zangyack always succeeds!" Usaryu shouted.
"Well not this time you baka! Minna, Dekaranger time!" GokaiRed announced, as she took out DekaRed's Ranger Key.
"GOKAI CHANGE!"
=DE~KARANGER!=
With that, the Gokaiger suits glowed, all forming suits similar to DekaYellow's, each with a different number (Red being 1, Blue 2, Green 3, and Pink 5), while being surrounded by dats of their respective color, surrounding them with a special type of suit called DekaMetal when they turned and their helmets formed. When completed, the lights on the sides of the helmets flashed as sirens went off, and the Gokai-Dekarangers approached the Action Commander.
"EH?!" Usaryu gawked as he angrily charged forward, with Gokai-DekaYellow and Gokai-DekaPink striking with the sabers first.
"You'll NEVER take over our planet!" Gokai-DekaYellow shouted, all five firing away with their D-Arms in their blaster modes, Red's being a pair of pistols known as the D-Magnum.
"You picked the WRONG planet to mess with!" Gokai-DekaRed added, bucking Usaryu down, and the five continued to blast.
"They truly are heroes," Tetsu realized on the sidelines.
"Minna, keep this up!" Gokai-DekaRed shouted as the Gokai-Dekarangers had Usaryu on his last legs before it knocked them all down.
"That's it!" Spike snapped, taking the D-Magnums from Gokai-DekaRed, "D-Magnum 02! D-Magnum 01! SET!" he roared, connecting the pistols together, he then blasted the kaijin to bits, much to the surprise and amazement of the others.
"...Whoa... nice job Spike!" Gokai-DekaRed smiled.
"Well... I did it," Spike smiled, when a golden glow came from Gokai-DekaBlue, who took out the necklace that contained the Dekaranger Grand Power, and it shattered, revealing the orb of the Dekaranger Grand Power.
"No, no, nyet! Nekomed, do something!" Onichan growled.
"Hai, hai. Kaijnus… growmighty!" she announced, holding her spellbook, and sending down the violet sphere of energy.
Then, Usaryu roared as he was revived, and gew mighty.
"Minna, ikuzo," Gokai-DekaRed shouted, reverting back to normal and pulling out her Mobirate.
=GO~KAIGALLEON!=
With that, the crew boarded the vessel, but before they could go further, GokaiRed went to check on Dash, who was asleep at the moment.
"Any change, Scoots?" she asked when she arrived in Dash's room.
"She's feeling better," Scootaloo informed.
"Is she ready to get into action?"
"Achoo!" Dash sneezed.
"I'll take that as a no," Red shrugged, as she dashed up to the cockpit and they formed GokaiOh.
"Come on!" Usaryu roared, before jumping up and smacking GokaiOh around silly, and then breathing fire at GokaiOh, causing the inside to heat up.
"Knock it off! We're burning up!" GokaiGreen snapped.
"Gokaigers!" Tetsu shouted out, getting their attention.
"Tetsu?" GokaiRed gawked.
"I think you guys are worthy of our Grand Power! Oh and also… GokaiBlue… I'm sorry… Jasmine said you were innocent and I didn't believe her," Tetsu apologized.
"Apology accepted," GokaiBlue nodded as the Dekaranger keys appeared before the group, glowing.
"Ranger Key, Set! Let's go!"
With that, the panels in Gokai-Oh opened, revealing sides of a car with the wheels as machine gun turrets, and the chest opened to reveal to top of a police car, and then a siren wailed for a moment.
"Kansei, Deka-GokaiOh!" the Gokaigers announced.
"No you don't! You're sick!" Scootaloo tried to tell Dash, as she tried to get up to the cockpit.
"But I gotta help," Dash groaned, as she arrived by the Ranger Key chest, and collapsed, she then knocked the chest over and found Tokkyu-Oh's Mech Key, she then took it into her hoof and began to sniffle a bit.
As Deka-GokaiOh attacked, Usaryu then blew an ice breath while the mecha rapidly fired the machine gun turrets. Then suddenly, a glow came from GokaiRed's buckle, and then she took out a Mech Key which was mostly black and white, with some red, and other colors to match the other rangers' suits.
"DekarangerRobo to the rescue!" Green chuckled as GokaiRed loaded the Key in, causing PatStriker to leave the mech and become the mech of the Dekarangers, which had the pink and yellow mechs as arms, the blue and green ones as legs, and Patstriker as the body, currently wielding a triple barreled-pistol. Thus, the mech charged forward and blitzed the kaijin, causing it to back up, hiding behind the nearby mountain.
"Let's go Super!" Blue suggested, as they loaded the Ranger Keys back in. "Chou Grand Power, Activate!"
With that, a new mecha came out, and lowered between GokaiYellow and GokaiPink's mechs, similar to the DekaBike.
"Kansei, ChouDeka-GokaiOh!" the Gokaigers announced, GokaiOh revving up the mecha bike before zooming after Usaryu, blasting the combo rabbit and dragon around like nuts.
"I have word Gokaigers! This Action Commander has been approved for deletion!" Jasmine shouted.
"Youkai!" The Gokaigers nodded before they charged up the blasters to finish the Action Commander off.
"Can't we just talk about this?" it whimpered.
"5!" GokaiPink announced
"4!" GokaiYellow added.
"3!" GokaiGreen shouted.
"2!" GokaiBlue announced as well.
"1!" GokaiRed concluded.
"Chou Gokai Strike Out!" they all shouted. With that, ChouDeka-GokaiOh then fired the charged up blast at Usaryu, destroying the kaijin with a huge charged up shot of red, blue, green, yellow, pink, white, black, orange and silver energy.
"They are worthy…" Tetsu commented.
"Wow…" Star, Lighting, Honey, Sugar and Cloud all gawked, seeing the area they were in, which was almost made of crystal similar to ice. "Where are we?"
"This my friends, is what has been sought after by thieves, a great treasure underneath Canterlot, and I found a book about this place in Celestia's library." Sunset began. "This is where all of the alicorns of a lost era have been frozen for a very long time."
"Suge…" Cloud added.
"I'm bored of this, can we go now?" Honey asked.
Sunset ignored them, and began to look around, seeing the Cutie Marks were the only thing visible, looking around all of the crystals, before noticing two frozen alicorns with Cutie Marks similar to Celestia and Luna. "These must be their parents,"
"Wow…" Lighting added in amazement.
"Now, here is who we're looking for. According to this history book, this alicron, Harmony Charmer was one of the toughest alicorns alive!" Sunset spoke, pointing to frozen alicon with a Cutie Mark of some white pipe with blue musical notes coming out of it.
"Alright, so let's thaw her out already," Lightning shrugged.
This made Sunset annoyed as she trotted over and gave Lightning a smack on her head.
"HEY! What was that for?!" Lightning whined.
"Because, baka, if we thaw her here, she'll just refreeze. Some sort of spell casted will freeze any alicorn that enters here," Sunset informed. "But we can teleport her out and thaw her back at our base,"
"You girls better use our Grand Power wisely. I'm not so kind as Tetsu or our boss," Ban warned.
"Why does that sound so familiar?" Twilight wondered.
"Uh… a-a-ano…" Fluttershy started nervously.
"Yes Fluttershy?" Jasmine asked.
"D-D-Do you know… what… happened to… Marvelous-tachi?" Futtershy inquired.
"We don't," Ban responded.
"Nopony does… they've been MIA for a long time," Jasmine sighed.
"Really? Hmm... Wonder what happened to them," Twilight wondered.
"I have a question for you, Blue-chan," Tetsu spoke, approaching Applejack, she gave a nod, and Tetsu cleared his throat. "Why did you steal our Grand Power and the Magirangers'?"
"Ah was under mind control," Applejack informed, "So Ah wasn't mahself at the time."
"But this raises a new question… who did that?" Jasmine added.
"Almost done," Sunset replied, setting Harmony Charmer's crystal in a machine made by Cloud, "Ok. Do it."
Cloud then pressed a button, and it began to thaw out the crystal, while the gold pegasus, gold Earth Pony, black Earth pony, and black unicorn watched.
"Have you ever noticed that our furs are a bit repetitive?" Honey asked.
"Little bit," Lightning shrugged.
"And to continue that pattern, this Harmony has to be white like Cloud," Star giggled.
Then, as the crystal melted, they began to see a green mane emerge, and then crimson fur.
"And the pattern has been broken," Star shrugged off.
"Uh… where am I?" Harmony wondered, blinking her golden eyes open.
"You're in my base," Sunset informed. "Welcome Princess Harmony Charmer,"
The crimson alicorn blinked for a moment and then scoffed "Great, an egghead."
"Ignoring that," Sunset muttered, "Lightning Chaser, Cloud Cracker, Sugar Blossom, Star Treasure, Honey Heart and Harmony Charmer… I have brought you all together for a reason,"
She then opened a compartment up, her violet magic surrounding some items, five looking like bronze, violet, yellow, blue, and crimson versions of the Mobirates along with a gold, black, crimson, and gray version of the Gokai Cellular.
"What are these for?" Star inquired.
"I'm glad you asked that," Sunset chuckled as the light dimmed, leaving only Sunset's violet eyes glowing…
Pikatwig: Cliff. Hanger.
KKD: Shoulda seen that one coming.
Pikatwig: This is the last chapter before a big story arc. And you may be asking yourself 'why did Sunset give these six ponies these dark versions of the Mobirates and Cellular'? Well, you'll be finding out in the next chapter.
KKD: And trust us, next time it'll be HUGE!
Pikatwig: So aibou, thoughts on this chapter?
KKD: Overall cool. Nice twist with DekaBike being the Chou Grand Power, but I was having expecting it to be the SWAT Mecha.
Pikatwig: Yea. Anyway, there are a few references, this chapter's title, and Pinkie's song early on are the ending theme of Dekaranger, and then two Power Rangers SPD references. Aibou, explain them please?
KKD: There's so many I don't know if I can do it for them all, but I'll try. I know Twi made one to reference the A-Squad team.
Pikatwig: When she commented that she's not some "knock off wearing someone else's helmet?" with the A-Squad's helmets being the Megaranger's/In Space Ranger's, and then Pinkie saying "Dekarangers to the rescue" is a reference to their intro.
KKD: Not to mention Ban saying Space Patrol Dekaranger being close to the PR acronym: Space Patrol Delta, when Dekaranger's is Special Police Dekaranger.
Pikatwig: Anyhow… my favorite part was when Twilight made the reference to A-Squad… it was funny. Oh, and also, for those who haven't seen it, we finally gave Spike a focus chapter.
KKD: Which is good. Man, now I see how it's tough to write his character in as a focus.
Pikatwig: Not helped by how he's not a Gokaiger, but anyway… as of now, the Grand Power total is now nine to three in favor of our heroes.
KKD: Makes me wonder where the other 28 are.
Pikatwig: And thus… I'm gonna see if I can help Silvah with something. Just Live More.
KKD: Jaa ne!
