Elemental Sentai Kodenranger

Chapter 21: Vacation Begins! Kage Kodenjyus . . .

"Ryu-kun . . . I don't think I can take it anymore." Miku whimpered.f

"Just hold on." Ryu replied. "It'll be quick."

"Ryu-kun . . . I can't hold it anymore." Miku moaned.

"Please just endure." Ryu moaned back.

"Ryu-kun . . . I can't take it anymore!" Miku screamed.

"I can't either!" Ryu screams.

"AHHHH!" The two scream.

"DARN THIS AIR CONDITIONING UNIT!" Ryu screams throwing his screwdrivers down. "ARGH! It's so hot!" Ryu was wearing a red t-shirt and white shorts.

Miku was fanning herself with the fan. "Why does Summer have to be so hot?" She asked herself. She wore a white top and a silver skirt.

"Man, it's been so hot lately." Ryu began. "I even ask the others to go back to their houses just so they didn't have to suffer having no air conditioning." Then Ryu stared at Miku. "You know you didn't have to stay here right?"

"But I wanted to stay." Miku said.

"Well that's fine I guess." Ryu replied, rubbing the back of his head.

Maya came out carrying a white mechanical fan. "Hey Ryu." Maya said. "I found the old fan we used to use when it was hot." She wore a white dress with no sleeves.

"Oh I forgot about that fan." Ryu replied. Maya plugged it in. Ryu kneeled in front of the fan. "Man it still feels so good after all these years. Want to try Miku?"

"Well . . . OK." Miku went over and kneeled in front of the fan.

The two let the fan blow some air at them, cooling their bodies down. After the two let the fan blow for a bit, "Ah." The two made their voices go in front of the fan against the spinning blade of the fan, creating a slight echo against the fan.

Maya giggled. "It's so cute seeing you do that." Maya said, referring to the echoing voice that Ryu and Miku made against the fan.

"You don't like to do that anymore?" Ryu asked. "We used to do it all the time together." He said referring to him and Maya.

"Well I haven't done that in a while." Maya said. "I think I might have out grown it."

"Oh." Ryu said, feeling kind of sad that Maya doesn't do what he did anymore. "That's nice to hear."

Then Ojii-chan bursted in through the door. "RYU! You better invite everyone else to vacation or you're going to be severely punished!"

"NANI!?" Ryu, Miku, and Maya yelped.

"We're going on vacation on the island where we usually go to vacation on!" Ojii-chan said pointing to the ceiling and the words Otoya were written on the ceiling. "NOWS NOT THE TIME FOR THAT GAG!" Then Ryu slammed Ojii-chan with a Paper Harisen (War Fan). "I'll stop breaking the fourth wall now." Ojii-chan said. Then Ryu slammed Ojii-chan again with the Paper Harisen. "Anyway, just so you know, this year I'm letting you on the plane!"

"REALLY!?" Ryu squealed. Maya however, felt sorry for Ryu. He doesn't know the horrors of using the plane to get to the island.

Ojii-chan nodded. "But if you don't invite all the others, you'll be severely punished." Ojii-chan said menacingly, making Ryu whimper instead of smile.

"Ok, ok." Ryu said. "What are you going to do to me anyway?"

"Things that'll scar you for life." Ojii-chan had a menacing look in his eyes.

"EE!" Ryu screamed.

"I'll gladly go Ryu-kun." Miku replied.

"THANK YOU!" Ryu bowed to Miku. Then he stood up and looked at Ojii-chan. "HA! One down!"

"You still have five more." Ojii-chan replied.

"KYA!" Ryu screamed again. "Why does our team have to have seven people!?" Then Ojii-chan slammed Ryu with the Paper Harisen. "WHY DID YOU HIT ME!?"

"You broke the fourth wall." Ojii-chan replied. Ryu slammed back with his own Paper Harisen.

"I didn't do that, you just did right now with that statement!" Ryu said. "I just wonder how come we have seven instead of the usual six members!"

"Fair enough." Ojii-chan nodded. "Anyway . . . you have until sundown to get all the others." Ojii-chan looked at Ryu menacingly.

"KYA!" Ryu screamed hugging Maya. Then he released her. "I better start!" He ran out the door and put on his black flip flops. Then he ran for his life. Now seriously, he ran for his life just to invite the others.

"Mou Ojii-chan, that's really mean of you to play around with Ryu like that." Maya puffed her cheeks.

"It works doesn't it." Ojii-chan shrugged and smiled. Then Ojii-chan fluttered out the door, as if he was a ghost.

"I hate it when he does that." Maya said sweat dropping. "Always freaked me out when I was a child." Then Maya looked around and noticed that Miku had just walked out the living room. Maya stared at the fan. Then she kneeled in front of the fan. She looked around. Then did the exact same thing Ryu and Miku did in front of the fan.

Then Maya noticed that Miku had come back in and was staring at Maya. Maya shirked. "You . . . you saw right?" Maya asked.

Miku grinned evilly and nodded. "So you do this as well you hypocrite."

"Please don't tell Ryu." Maya whimpered.

Kai sat in his spot, meditating. He got a dream of his past. A man, woman, and a teenage girl lying on the floor, dead. Blood everywhere. A masked man with a knife, making his way to a little Kai, only to all of a sudden burst into many pieces in front of Kai's young eyes. Kai in the present opened his eyes sharply. "That dream again." He said covering his eyes. Tears streamed down his cheek and he sniffed.

- -

"COME ON KOUSUKE-SAN!" Ryu begged at Kousuke's doorstep. "If you don't come, Ojii-chan is going to do things to me! Horrible, horrible things!"

Kousuke grunted. He got a really weird thought. Ryu without any clothes and Ojii-chan with a whip. "HOLY COW! I'll go, I'll go! Just don't put that image in my head again!" Kousuke whimpered.

"What were you thinking about?" Ryu asked.

- -

Next house would be Karen's house. Ryu looked at the address in his address book. "Let's see, her house should be right around . . ." Ryu crashed into a gate. "Itai." Ryu looked up. He then checked the address in his book and the one near the gate. "HOLY COW!" Karen lived in a mansion! Ryu looked around. "WHOA! How do I get in!?" He tried finding a way in. Nothing. How come the rich always have houses that are hard to get in!?" This is referring to what Ryu knows about the rich from watching TV.

Inside the Mansion, Karen looked out the window. "Hm . . . it's Ryu-san." Karen commented. She was wearing a white top and a yellow skirt. She opened the front door and ran up to the gate.

Ryu was still checking out the gate, trying to find the way to get in. He then stopped and turned his back in front of Karen, and before he even noticed Karen. "Seriously, how do I get in!?" He then pondered on it. "Maybe . . . I'LL CLIMB THE WALL! Then would hounds come and attack me once I get over the wall? How about . . . CLIMBING THE BACK OF THE HOUSE! Then again . . . how am I supposed to get to the back of this huge house?"

"Um Ryu-san?" Karen said. "You can just ask me to open the gate."

Ryu's ears perked up after hearing Karen's voice. He turned around. "OH KAREN! I didn't notice you there. Yeah . . . well . . . actually since you're here you don't really have to let me in."

"Nonsense." Karen said beaming a smile. "You took your time to get here, you should come in and relax for a bit." She pushed a button on the back of the gate and the gate split open. Karen grabbed Ryu's right hand. "Come on, come in." She pulled Ryu along the path.

"Ok." Ryu said. He looked around the garden. Elegant trees everywhere. Bushes shaped like animals like Elephants, Monkeys, and Giraffes. Ryu gasped in awe seeing this huge array of things that he would probably never see again in his life. "And I have trouble keeping my garden alive."

"Oh we have the gardeners tend the gardens." Karen explained.

"I'm just surprised that your family is really rich." Ryu said.

"Why?" Karen asked looking at Ryu.

"Well . . . usually I'd expect a daughter of rich people to be spoiled." Ryu replied. "You . . . you're like the complete opposite. You're not spoiled and you're kind and innocent."

Karen blushed. "Thank you." She said. "That's kind of you to say."

Karen opened the door and the two entered the mansion. They were greeted by a woman wearing an orange fur robe. She had her hair in pigtails just like Karen. "Oh Karen, is this your boyfriend?" The woman asked with a smile.

"Eh." Karen blushed. She started shaking her head.

Ryu stared at the woman. "Is this your sister?" Ryu asked Karen pointing at the woman.

The woman blushed. "Oh he's so kind." She said beaming a smile.

"Actually . . . that's my mom." Karen replied.

Ryu took a while to process the thought. " . . ." Ryu was taking a while. "NANI!?" He yelped. "That's your mom!?" Ryu stared at Mrs. Hibiki. "She's hot!" He exclaimed.

"Oh you such a kind boy." Mrs. Hibiki said smiling.

"It's kind of embarrassing hearing you so surprised like that though." Karen remarked.

Ryu rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry." Ryu said letting out a nervous chuckle.

- -

Karen continued taking Ryu around the house. Ryu eventually stopped at an open door. Inside was a man wearing a suit (without the jacket) working at his desk. He had a hairstyle that showed he was a successful business man and he wore glasses, just like Karen. The man was looking at some paperwork, then he stopped and looked at Ryu who was gawking at the doorway. "Hello." The man said with a smile. "Are you one of Karen's friends."

"Yeah." Ryu nodded. Then he turned to Karen. "Hey is this guy your uncle?"

The man dropped his mouth in shock. "I can swear I just heard you asking if my wife was Karen's sister down the hallway just a few minutes ago." The man said. "Am I really really that old looking?"

"Oh this is your father." Ryu said. Karen nodded. "Well um Mr. Hibiki-san . . . I just well . . . since your wife was Karen's mother but she was hot, and since you were so handsome I just thought that maybe that you could be Karen's father or not, and since Mrs. Hibiki was Karen's mother . . . I just thought that maybe you were someone else."

"I have no idea what you just said but I'll take that as an explanation anyway." Mr. Hibiki said nodding. "You're a boy right?" Mr. Hibiki asked.

"Yeah." Ryu said. "Is there something leading you to believe otherwise?"

"You have a girly face and somewhat girly features." Mr. Hibiki said.

"WHAT!?" Ryu yelped.

"But at the same time . . . you have a flat chest." Mr. Hibiki mentioned.

"That's the exact same thing that Shishi-san's grandpa said to me." Ryu said.

"Papa can be quite a pervert." Karen said sweat dropping.

"I can tell." Ryu said sweat dropping as well.

"Oh come on, I'm not that much of a pervert . . . am I?" Mr. Hibiki said.

- -

Raiju sat down meditating. "I haven't been gathering despair lately." He said. "It's kind of boring . . . but right now, I bet the Kodenrangers are enjoying themselves. They'll probably be led into a false sense of security. When they let their guard down . . . I'll attack!"

- -

Eventually Ryu finally asked Karen if she wanted to come to the island. Karen was surprised that Ryu would mention that Ojii-chan actually owned an island. Then again . . . Ojii-chan is insanely rich. He's richer than the Hibiki family. Heck, he may be the richest guy in the world . . . even though he lives in the school's headmaster's office ( . . .). Karen accepted right away and her parents gave her permission to go.

"Well then, you better start packing. We're leaving tomorrow." Ryu bowed to Karen and Mr and Mrs. Hibiki. "Bye." Ryu said running down the front steps and out the gate and waving good bye.

Karen and her parents were waving good bye. Then Mrs. Hibiki made a comment. "He's quite a catch."

"EH!?" Karen yelped.

- -

Next is Rai's house, but first, let's take a look at what Rai and Reika are doing today. Rai, wearing a green t-shirt and black shorts, was lying lazily on his couch. "Man I'm so bored." He said. "No Kagejyu attack lately . . . I might as well just be another average high schooler."

Then Reika, wearing a green dress, jumped on top of her brother. "What are you doing today Onii-chan?" Reika asked cutely.

"Nothing." Rai said. "And I haven't really been doing anything lately." Rai wrapped an arm around Reika. "Especially since the Kagejyus have been extremely silent lately."

"So you're really bored?"

"Yep." Rai replied. "I'm really bored, and I really don't want to be outside in this burning weather."

"Well . . ." Reika said. "You have me in here." Then the Shishi's Cat, Shi-kun, jumped up to the couch and lay next to Rai. Shi-kun purred. Reika giggled. "And Shi-kun."

Rai smiled. "Yeah I guess so."

Ryu, who was allowed in by Rai and Reika's grandfather, came in to this odd scene. "EH!?" Ryu shouted. This really shocked Reika and Rai. Reika quickly got off Rai and sat straight up. Shi-kun jumped down from the couch and ran off away from the couch. Rai sat up and stared at Rai. "Um . . . Uh . . . this isn't . . . what it looks like . . . is it?" Ryu asked.

Rai started growling violently. "Ryu . . ." He growled. "I'M GOING TO FREAKING KILL YOU!"

"SHIT!" Ryu cried.

- -

Rai unleashed a flurry of fists and kicks on Ryu, then a final Hissatsu Waza. "Hissatsu!" Rai shouted. "Shishi Thunder Roar!" He used his elemental power to charge lightning into his knuckles. Rai roared, his Green Koden Gem glowing and making the roar echo and making a sound reminiscent of a Lion's roar, and Rai punched Ryu hard, launching Ryu high into the air.

"THAT'S NOT FAIR! I don't have an elemental power and you've increased your bond with your element during this time of peace!" Ryu screamed as he went flying high into the air.

Rai huffed and he puffed, then he sighed. "Baka." Rai muttered.

Rai's grandfather came out. "Where did that Ryu boy go?" The old man asked Rai.

"He had to leave." Rai said.

"Oh." The old man said. "By the way, he said something about coming here for some business. He said he was going to invite you and Reika to accompany him on a vacation with his Ojii-chan."

"EH!?" Rai shouted. "You serious!?" Oh man, I just kicked his ass before he told me anything.

"Well if you want to go, you better start packing." The old man said. "I've already told Reika."

"Come on Onii-chan, let's go pack!" Reika said running up the stairs.

"Yosh." Rai said.

- -

Ryu went flying really high, and crashed onto a door of a house, crashing head first, then his hands smashing the door and finally his feet crashing the door, creating five simultaneous knocks on the door. But before we go on, let's see what's going on inside the house . . . before Ryu crashed onto the door.

HOLY COW! The house that Ryu crashed onto is Lee's house! What a coincidence! This is what happened before Ryu crashed.

Lee was lounging around eating a chocolate bar. He wore a blue t-shirt and white shorts. He had on black armbands. "I'm so bored." He muttered. "No Kagejyus equal no chance to fight." Then he sat up. "AH!" He started ruffling his hair in frustration. "COME ON!" He shouted. "Just give me a fight!"

"Lee, you shouldn't be so violent." A woman wearing a flowery dress and a white top said. This woman is Lee's sister, Rika Kugimiya.

"But I'm bored!" Lee whined.

"That's still no excuse for you sounding violent." Rika said.

"Come on, he's a guy, let him have his fun." A man said. This is Rika's husband, Yuki Kugimiya.

"I don't want him sounding like that though when our daughter is playing in the room next to where Lee is." Rika said. She and Yuki are Junko's parents.

"Don't discourage his fighting spirit!" A man wearing a white karate gi with a black belt jumped out. He is Lee and Rika's Japanese father. He had a mustache and messy hair. He was also quite buff. Mr. Hamura is a Karate Teacher of his Dojo. "His drive to fight is what the Hamura way is all about! OSU!" He pumped his arms to the side of his hips (Like a certain White Gekiranger)

"OSU!" Lee shouted following what his father did. "FIGHT!"

"Please tell me you two don't actually want to fight in the house." A woman said coming out. She wore a white dress and a pink top. She is Lee and Rika's Chinese mother. "I don't want you to break any furniture."

"Hai mama." Lee and Mr. Hamura said to Mrs. Hamura.

"Who cares about furniture!?" An old man shouted. He jumped out wearing a white karate gi and a black belt. "A good fight is a good fight! Who cares what gets broken and what is not!" This is Lee and Rika's grandfather.

Mrs. Hamura brought out a closed fan and smacked old man Hamura's forehead. "I care." Mrs. Hamura growled.

Junko was actually in the room and watching the hysterics. She giggled. "Grandma and Great Grandfather are so funny!" She exclaimed.

"ACK!" Rika shouted. "JUNKO! You shouldn't be in here!"

"But I'm bored!" Junko whined in a manner similar to Lee.

"See, you're influencing the way Junko is acting!" Rika shouted at Lee.

"Yeah whatever." Lee pouted. Then five knocks knocked on the door simultaneously. "I'll answer the door." He ran over to the door, and opened it. "Hello." No one was there. "Hello?" He opened the door further.

"ITAI!" Ryu screamed as when Lee opened the door, Ryu crashed into the wall.

Lee walked out and then checked what was behind the door as there was no one on the front porch. He looked. "GORGEOUS!" He shouted happily.

"Oh no." Mrs. Hamura said.

"I knew it." Mr. Hamura said. "Our son is a homo."

"I AM NOT!" Lee shouted. Then he helped Ryu down.

"I can walk." Ryu said. "Can I go in." Lee, who was smiling. Nodded quickly. Ryu walked in. "Oh man, my head hurts."

Mr. And Mrs. Hamura stared at Ryu. "GORGEOUS!" The two shouted.

Ryu jumped back in shock. He turned to look at Lee. "I can see that these are your parents." Ryu said sweat dropping.

"He really is gorgeous." Mr. Hamura said with sparkles in his eyes.

"Yes he is." Mrs. Hamura said.

"Now you're freaking me out." Ryu said turning to the Hamura parents.

"Why is everyone shouting?" Rika said coming out to see what the commotion was about. She saw Ryu. "GORGEOUS!"

Ryu jumped back in shock. "Man." Ryu said. "Oh hi Junko." He said after noticing Junko in the room.

"Dragon-tan!" Junko squealed and ran to Ryu. She jumped into Ryu's arms.

"Your mom is kind of weird." Ryu said sweat dropping.

"She is." Junko said nodding.

"ACK!" Rika shouted. "JUNKO! Don't agree with the strange gorgeous boy! How many times do I have to tell you not to talk to strangers?"

"But I know who he is, he's no stranger." Junko replied.

"What's wrong Rika sweetie." Yuki said coming out. Then he saw Ryu. "GORGEOUS!" He shouted.

"This is your father right?" Ryu asked Junko. Junko nodded. He set Junko down, then breathed in. Then he furrowed his brow and pointed at Yuki. "HEY! You don't have an excuse to call me that!" Ryu shouted. "You're not even related to the Hamura's by blood!"

"But you're such a cute girl!" Yuki squealed.

"HOLY CRAP!" Ryu shouted.

"Who's a cute girl." Old man Hamura said coming out. Then he looked at Ryu's face. "GORGEOUS!"

"Please tell me that this is your grandfather." Ryu asked Lee. Lee nodded. "GEEZ! I'm a boy!"

"What's your name cutie?" Old man Hamura asked.

"OJII-SAN!" Rika shouted. "You shouldn't talk like that!"

Ryu's veins on his head popped out. "I'm . . . a . . . guy!" He screamed. "And my name is Ryunosuke Rekka."

"That's a pretty masculine name for a girl." Yuki said. Old man Hamura nodded.

Ryu growled. Then he took off his shirt. "LOOK AT MY CHEST YOU DUMB ASSES"

"HOLY COW! She's flat!" Old man Hamura and Yuki shouted.

"ARGH!" Ryu shouted. He placed his shirt back on. "Will someone tell these two that I'm not a girl?"

"Daddy, Dragon-tan is a boy." Junko said to Yuki.

"But she's too cute to be a boy." Yuki said. "There's no way that she's a guy." Old man Hamura nodded.

"AUGH!" Ryu shouted. "Junko, look away." Ryu said. "Or go to another room." Junko ran off.

- -

" . . . HOLY COW!" Yuki and old man Hamura's voice screamed, causing birds to fly off. What they saw . . . is not for human ears to hear. Okay, even if you aren't human you still can't know what those two saw.

- -

After what happened, Rika became charmed by how Ryu handled the situation, after all, he was the one to tell Junko to look away before he actually showed what he did. So . . . Ryu stayed and had tea with the Hamuras (and the Kugimiyas). Ryu found out that the Kugimiyas were visiting the Hamuras for vacation. "I see." Ryu nodded. He then looked down at his cup.

"You haven't drank yet." Mrs. Hamura said. "Is there something wrong?"

"Um . . ." Ryu said. "How can I say this . . ." Then Ryu gulped. He drank his cup. Then he swallowed. Then Ryu looked away and had a look of disgust on his face. I hate tea.

Mrs. Hamura stared at Ryu, then she giggled. "If you hate tea you could've said so." Mrs. Hamura said.

"My, boys like you are so hard to come by around this time and age." Rika said, looking at Lee. "If only my brother is as well mannered as you."

"At least your brother is straightforward." Mrs. Hamura said.

"OSU!" Mr. Hamura said and pumped his arms to the side of his hips.

"Oh." Ryu said looking at what Mr. Hamura just did.

"What?" Mr. Hamura asked.

"Nothing, but what you just did reminded me of someone." Ryu said.

- -

"AH CHOO!" A man wearing a white jacket sneezed. "I can't believe I just sneezed during summer. OSU!" This man pumped his arms to his hips.

- -

"And my Uncle Strange Man-san used to hang out with that someone."

- -

"AH CHOO!" A man that looked a lot like Ryu and wearing a red robe sneezed. He rubbed his nose. "I can't be getting a cold." Uncle Strange Man-san said.

"What are you doing here anyway." The white suit guy said.

"Nothing, just wanted to bug you." Uncle Strange Man-san said.

Then there was something about Kensan and Fire Balls, but that's another story for another time . . . and not in this here story.

- -

"Anyway." Lee said. "As much as I would love to hear about this Uncle Strange Man-san . . . what are you doing here anyway?"

"Well actually I meant to run here but Rai kicked my ass and I ended up at your door." Ryu said.

"You must've angered Kaicho." Lee said.

"All I did was walk in to seeing Reika on top of him." Ryu whined.

"Ooh . . ." Lee flinched. "Never do that man, you're lucky to be alive."

"What, it happened to you?" Ryu asked.

Lee shook his head. "We exchanged hits." Lee said smiling.

"O . . .K." Ryu said. "Anyway, I actually meant to come here to invite you to Ojii-chan's island."

"He owns an island!?" Lee asked.

"Well . . yeah." Ryu said. "But he owns it yet it's pretty much a public vacationing place. So want to come?" Lee stroked his chin. Then Ryu looked at Mr and Mrs. Hamura. "Can he?"

Mr and Mrs. Hamura nodded. "I want to go!" Junko squealed. "I want to go, Mommy, Daddy, can I!?"

"Well I don't know, I don't think they would want you to come along and disturb them." Yuki said.

"But I want to go." Junko complained. Then she started crying.

Ryu kneeled till he had eye contact with Junko. "Don't cry." Ryu said soothly. "You can come, but I think it would be better if you go with your parents." Ryu said. Then he rubbed the top of Junko's head. "After all, it's kind of hard to take care of so many people."

"Can I!?" Junko smiled and asked her parents.

"Well, I guess we can go when we have time." Rika said.

"YAY!" Junko squealed.

"Yosh!" Lee shouted. "But since I'm so bored, I think I'm going to have to ask you for a favor."

"What favor?" Ryu asked.

"I want you . . . to fight me!"

"LEE!" Rika shouted. "Don't be so violent!"

Ryu perked his ears up after hearing Rika say what she did. Then he kneeled again, making eye contact with Junko. "Junko, promise me that you won't be violent when you grow up?" Junko nodded. "Really?" Junko nodded again. "Pinky swear?" Junko then pinky swore with Ryu. "Good girl." Then Ryu stood up. "Ikuzo."

"Also, I'll only go with you to that island of Ojii-chan's if you beat me and only if you beat me." Lee said.

"That's fine with me." Ryu grinned.

"Hey I don't want you two to be fighting in the house." Mrs. Hamura said.

"Oh no problem." Ryu said. He then ran out the house.

"Hai Hai Mother." Lee said. Then he ran after Ryu.

Lee's grandfather stroked his beard. "Should we watch?" He asked.

"I want to see what that boy and Lee can do!" Mr. Hamura shouted.

"OSU!" Mr. Hamura, Old Man Hamura, and Yuki shouted.

"Wait, why did you copy us?" Mr. Hamura asked.

"You're not even related to us by blood." Old Man Hamura said. Yuki shrugged.

- -

Today's Eye Catch! The Kodenrangers are standing in a circle, their backs turned to each other. The camera revolves around them, stopping at Ryu, who is holding his Twin Dragon Jians. He looks at the sky. Back and the Kodenrangers are in their suits and then they get out of the circle and attack the screen using their Personal Weapons.

- -

Ryu and Lee stood at ready. Lee was using Boxing style and Ryu was using his regular fighting style. "Heh, I've been meaning to try to fight you for a while." Lee said. "It seems being bored isn't that bad."

"I guess so." Ryu said.

A long pause, and then the two began. "BATTLE!" The two announced. Ryu dashed at Lee. Ryu started with a fist, but Lee parried with his arm and started punching Ryu. Ryu had to parry with his arms as best he could.

The Hamuras and Kugimiya came out to watch. Even Rika decided to let Junko watch. Lee was punching at Ryu while Ryu was trying to get away. However, eventually Lee cornered Ryu to a tree. Ryu jumped and used the tree to boost over Lee's head. Then Ryu tried a kick, but Lee grabbed Ryu's leg. Ryu flipped and landed then tried a punch. Lee blocked and used a strong left hook on Ryu. Ryu went flying back to a tree.

"Wow, Lee's really strong." Mrs. Hamura said.

"OSU!" Mr. Hamura shouted.

"That's kind of getting annoying right now since you've been doing that all day dad." Rika said to Mr. Hamura. Mr. Hamura chuckled and rubbed the back of his head.

"Wow that Lee's a pretty good boxer." Yuki mentioned.

"Of course he is, he's a Hamura!" Old Man Hamura exclaimed.

"Don't give up you two." Junko shouted to the two combatants.

Man I got to change my strategy. Ryu thought. Then he stood back up, but his arms were limp. This shocked everyone that saw Ryu.

"Hey your arms aren't broken are they?" Lee asked.

"You tell me." Ryu smirked. Then he ran at Lee quickly, the arms still just limping there. Lee prepared for Ryu's attack. Ryu stopped right in front of Lee, then kicked really high. Lee blocked this kick, but then Ryu kicked off of Lee using the free leg. Ryu flipped in the air, and spun towards a tree.

"Wow, he's really acrobatic." Mrs. Hamura said in awe.

"Indeed." Yuki nodded.

Ryu's feet landed on the tree. Then Ryu kicked off high into the air and came crashing down with a high flying dive kick. Lee dodged by jumping back, but when Ryu landed Ryu used his limps arms to attack by flinging them. Lee blocked the flails but then Ryu used kicks on Lee, kicking high and kicking low. Lee had a hard time blocking both high attacks and low attacks. To top it all, Ryu was using flailing attacks with his 'limp' arms. Lee finally saw an opening. He then used a karate chop. "WA CHA!" Lee let out his war cry. Ryu flipped back to dodge. Then Lee started hopping around. "Woo, woo, whoa, HA." Lee flicked his nose.

"So you're finally getting serious." Ryu said grinning.

"Grandpa, what is Dragon-tan doing?" Junko asked Mr. Hamura.

"Well, from what I can tell, that Ryu boy is using a style focused mainly on kicking, but I've never seen such style. To think this boy is strong enough to force Lee to use another style of fighting other than his usual boxing style."

Lee ran forward, then tried to trip Ryu with his leg. Ryu jumped, but then was met by a heavy uppercut by Lee. Ryu spat out. Then Lee karate chopped Ryu down to the ground.

"Wow, you hit hard." Ryu groaned trying to get up. Lee however was not done with his attacks. "Not done I see." Then Ryu hand stood and started spinning around using his legs to ward Lee away. Ryu stood back up. "I'm not going to let you push me around like that." Ryu said.

"Then Koe . . . ore no fearless leader!" Lee dashed at Ryu.

Ryu then turned around and ran to the tree. Ryu ran up the tree, and kicked off, then kicked Lee down using another dive kick. Ryu landed and tried to trip Lee with multiple sweep kicks. Lee jumped to dodge all the sweeps, but then Ryu flailed his arms. Lee blocked the flails by covering his face with his arms, but this also distracted him from Ryu's next strike. Lee then tried to end the battle when Ryu had his(Ryu) back turn with one final right hook, but Ryu's legs were longer and Ryu extended his leg behind him. The two combatants looked at each other. Lee's right hook barely reached Ryu and Ryu's leg was right in front of Lee's neck. The two stopped. Ryu was the winner. Lee and Ryu looked at each other, then the two punched their palms with their fists and bow respectfully.

"Well then, you better start packing." Ryu said. "We're leaving tomorrow."

Lee wrapped an arm around Ryu's shoulder. "Yosh!" Lee shouted. "This will be a vacation to remember! By the way, what was that weird style you were using on me?"

"That was just a self made style." Ryu said. "I mean I'm a kicker so I decided to make a style based solely on kicking and using the hands only for support."

"I see." Lee nodded.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I still have one more person to invite." Ryu said. Ryu then ran off. "Bye everyone, thanks for the tea!" Even though he didn't like tea.

"Bye!" The whole family said to Ryu.

"Wow, that kid was cool." Yuki said. Mr and Old Man Hamura nodded.

"You don't see many boys like that these days." Rika said, staring at Lee.

"I feel as though as I've just been insulted." Lee said perking his ears up. "Yet I don't know who just insulted me." Poor Baka Lee.

- -

Ryn was at home, with her hair down, wearing a pink top and a a striped pink skirt, looking out the window. "I sure hope Ryu is not in the house working his butt off trying to fix that air conditioning." She sighed.

"Are you thinking about Ryunosuke-kun?" A woman wearing a flowery dress, a white vest, glasses, and her hair in a ponytail tied in a similar fashion as Ryn when Ryn has her hair in a ponytail. "Love thoughts about him?" The woman said with a teasing smile.

"MAMA!" Ryn shouted. "We're just . . . friends."

The woman, Mrs. Tsubasa, giggled teasingly. "Or course, just friends." She teased.

"It's the truth." Ryn said puffing her cheeks in anger. Ryn then stormed towards the Kitchen. She opened the fridge and took out a juice bottle. She popped the cap open and started drinking. Then a man wearing a white dress shirt and tan jeans, who was in the kitchen drinking coffee, smiled a teasing smile.

"Mama teased you about Ryunosuke-kun again." The man said. He had black clean cut hair and looked like a businessman. He was sitting at the dining table. "You know if you just make a move then maybe she won't tease you about him as much."

"PAPA! You're teasing me about Ryu too!" Ryn whined. Mr. Tsubasa chuckled.

"Of course, it's quite obvious that if we don't tease you it would be a waste." Mrs. Tsubasa said coming in.

"MAMA! PAPA!" Ryn shouted. "It's not FUNNY!" Then the doorbell ring. "There's nothing to tease about. We're friends, just friends." Ryn went to the front door and opened it, but she was still looking at her parents. "Now stop teasing!"

"Teasing about what?" Ryu asked as he was the one who rang the doorbell.

"EEP!" Ryn gasped and blushed. She looked at Ryu. "Ryu, what are you doing here?"

"Do I need a reason to visit you?" Ryu asked tilting his head in confusion.

"Well . . . not really." Ryn said softly.

"Can I come in?" Ryu asked. Ryn nodded. Ryu then entered the house. "Yo Mr. Tsubasa and Mrs. Tsubasa."

"Hello Ryunosuke-kun." Mrs. Tsubasa greeted Ryu.

"Yo, still looking as girly as ever Ryunosuke-kun eh?" Mr. Tsubasa said with a teasing smile.

Ryu dropped his mouth and starred at Mr. Tsubasa in shock. Ryn dropped down on the ground in shame. Then Ryu sat down on the floor holding his knees together.

"ACK!" Mr. Tsubasa shouted as he just realized what he said.

"It's not like I want to look girly." Ryu said rocking up and down. "I don't even try to look girly. I know I'm short for my age, but I drink milk everyday hoping that I'll grow a few inches so that people will stop saying I look girly. I don't even put make up on. I don't even like to cross dress. But people always mistaken me or say that I am a girl or that I look girly. It's not fun, I mean no one teases me about it but they quickly say that I look girly or call me a she and it's not fun. I'm a boy and I want to be acknowledge as a boy. I mean . . ."

"I think you should stop him." Mrs. Tsubasa said to Mr. Tsubasa. "You are the one who got him to go on this odd guilt trip."

"ACK!" Mr. Tsubasa shouted yet once again. Then he looked at Ryu frantically. Mr. Tsubasa was sweat dropping like there was no tomorrow. "Now, now Ryu, sorry about that comment, but it's just a compliment saying that you look handsome."

"You're not helping." Ryu whimpered.

"Um . . . well it's not like I was teasing you about your girlish nature but still . . . wait a minute." Mr. Tsubasa realized something. "You said something about not liking to cross dress. What is that all about?" Mr Tsubasa gave Ryu the evil eye.

Ryn quickly got up and got on her knees. She stared at Ryu with a look in the eye that said 'what the hell'. Mrs. Tsubasa also got that look in her eyes.

Ryu quickly stopped on his little odd guilt trip. "Nothing!" Ryu blurted on straining a smile on his face. "I meant absolutely nothing about that." Luckily I mentioned nothing about my hate for guy lips. Ryu thought. Then he quickly got up and sat down at the dining table. Ryn came along and sat down next to Ryu. She was blushing quite badly. Ryu then laid his head on the table. "AH!"

"Huh?" Ryn stared at Ryu.

"Finally! I can stop and enjoy the air conditioning in a house!" Ryu exclaimed. "I've been running around all day going from house to house . . ."

"NANI!?" Mr and Mrs. Tsubasa shouted in surprise. "HOUSE TO HOUSE!?"

"What are you two talking about?" Ryu asked.

"You're not selling your body to anyone . . . are you!?" Mr. Tsubasa asked and gave Ryu the evil eye again.

"Selling my body?" Ryu asked. "What does that mean?" Ryu asked with a really naïve look in his eyes and face.

Ryn dropped her head on the table. Mr parents are so embarrassing! Ryn thought

Mr and Mrs. Tsubasa blinked their eyes to try to process what Ryu just said and how he look. "SO CUTE!" The two squealed. "There's no way he would sell his body like that."

"Seriously, what does that mean?" Ryu asked.

"Never mind that." Mr. Tsubasa said.

"Oh yeah!" Ryu blurted out in a second. "Hey Ryn, I'm going to that island again for vacation tomorrow, you want to come with me?"

"You mean that island which Ojii-chan owns, yet no one actually knows the name of, but it's actually a public vacationing spot, and Ojii-chan earns a lot of money just by being there when people go to that island for vacation?" Ryn asked. Ryu nodded. "You know I go there with my parents every year right?"

"But we'll not go this year." Mrs. Tsubasa said.

"EH!" Ryn shouted. Mrs. Tsubasa and Mr. Tsubasa turned around facing away from Ryn and Ryu. The two chuckled teasing chuckles.

"Yeah, we don't feel like going this year." Mr. Tsubasa said turning around, putting a really straight face with his eyes closed. Mrs. Tsubasa had the same expression on her face.

"Too busy." Mrs. Tsubasa said. "Got a lot to do this year."

"BUSY MY ASS!" Ryn shouted. Then . . . "Whoops." Ryn covered her mouth as she just used such language in front of her parents. "Anyway, you just want me to not go this year and stay home and study all the time!"

"Not really." Mr. Tsubasa said.

"You can go, you just have to find another way to get there." Mrs. Tsubasa said.

"Well you can come with all of us." Ryu said. " I invited all our friends and Ojii-chan is finally letting me on that private plane of his." Ryu said with a smile.

"You mean that plane where he said we were too small to ride in when we were little?" Ryn asked. Ryu nodded. "Odd, we're not that much bigger than last year, and yet he didn't let us on last year."

"Well I have no idea what's up with that but he's still letting me on and . . . he wants me to invite everyone before I actually get on." Ryu said.

"So you're inviting me because Ojii-chan told you so?" Ryn asked, pretty much knowing what Ryu has to go through.

"Well . . . I actually want to invite you but Ojii-chan is also forcing me to so it's kind of weird." Ryu said.

"I get it." Ryn said. "Well since I have no idea way to get there I might as well go along." Ryn said.

"YATA!" Ryu shouted jumping from his seat.

"Well, at least those two can be together during this vacation." Mrs. Tsubasa said to Mr. Tsubasa.

"Now it's up to her to make her first move." Mr. Tsubasa continued.

"Oh by the way," Ryu said. "I remember that you had a mole somewhere on your body." Ryu said to Ryn. "Where was it again?"

Ryn blushed. She pointed at her chest.

"Um, you mean it's on . . .?" Ryu asked pointing. Ryn nodded. Ryu took a while to process the information.

Processing . . . processing . . . processing . . . STILL processing . . . processing . . . ERROR! System ERROR! Does not compute! SYSTEM OVERLOAD! Does not compute! ERROR! ERROR! INFINITY DIVIDED BY ZERO . . . ERROR! DOES NOT COMPUTE! SYSTEM SHUT DOWN IMMINENT!

"GAH!" Ryu turned around and covered his nose. Blood came streaming down.

"Well at least we know he's a guy." Mrs. Tsubasa said sweat dropping.

"Though I don't know if I should be mad or just something else about him talking about my daughter's breast like that." Mr. Tsubasa said putting on a straining mad face.

"NANI!?" Ryu shouted. "So it is on her breast!" More blood came streaming down his nose. Ryn slapped Ryu.

"PAPA!" Ryn screamed. "Why did you say that!?" Ryn was as red as a cherry. Maybe because she was mad.

"Sorry." Mr. Tsubasa said sweat dropping.

"I knew I saw a cute black dot when I saw it." Ryu said.

"Eh?" Ryn calmed down and looked at Ryu. Now was blushing because Ryu said something on her body was cute. "You think it's cute?" Ryu nodded.

"Looks good on you." Ryu replied.

Mr and Mrs. Tsubasa dropped their mouths in shock.

"I don't know if I should be freaked out and mad or just happy about those two seeing each other naked." Mrs. Tsubasa said.

"Indeed, I would've never thought those two were in that stage already." Mr. Tsubasa said nodding.

Ryn and Ryu sharply looked at Mr and Mrs. Tsubasa. "What?" The two asked.

"That stage, surely you've seen each other naked already. Now there's only one more step." Mrs. Tsubasa answered.

"WHAT!? We didn't, I mean it's not . . . we didn't . . ." Ryn and Ryu stammered around. . . .

Then . . . "WHAT THE HELL!" The two screamed, scaring off the birds and stopping traffic, causing people to come out of their cars causing them to wonder what the heck just happen. Then, "Whoops." Ryu and Ryn just realized that they just used such language in front of Ryn's parents. Ryu shouldn't upset his future parents in law.

("WHAT THE HELL!" Ryu shouted at the screen. "Whose my future parent in laws, I'll crush the guy who quickly says who they are!"

That's it, I'm docking Ryu's paycheck. Then of course he's going to kick my ass so it's kind of a tough call . . . I think I'll save myself from some unnecessary butt kicking)

- -

When Ryu and Ryn were away from Mr and Mrs. Tsubasa, Ryn asked, "Are you sure it's safe for us to leave this city, I mean after all the Kagejyus might attack while we're gone?"

"Well Ojii-chan seems ok with it." Ryu said. "And I'm pretty sure we can trust our mentor."

"But he's Ojii-chan!" Ryn exclaimed.

"Yeah he is, but we haven't been attacked once during these few weeks." Ryu said. "And if they do attack while we're gone, I'm pretty sure Kodenknight, Kodengeneral, and Kodensage could fight them and if they can't handle it they can just call us and we'll come back quickly."

"Whose Kodensage?" Ryn asked.

"I don't know." Ryu said.

"I don't mean his identity." Ryn said.

"Oh . . . well I still don't know. He just came to help one day and then I didn't see him again." Ryu replied.

"Well, maybe while we're gone the Kagejyus won't attack, there's a chance that'll happen." Ryn said.

Ryu nodded.

- -

The next day . . .

"YOSH!" Ojii-chan shouted when all of them, including Maya, arrived at the airport. Ojii-chan pointed at his private plane. IT WAS HUGE! "Now . . . let's go, vacation starts!"

"YOSH!" Lee shouted. He wore a blue Hawaiian shirt and black shorts. "Let's go!"

"This'll be fun." Karen said. She wore a yellow tank top and white skirt.

"Well hopefully." Rai said. He wore a white t-shirt and green baggy shorts.

"Come on Onii-chan, you know it's going to be fun." Reika said wearing a white dress.

"Hopefully this won't be a disappointment." Kousuke said, wearing his usual gold colored trench coat and suit.

"Onii-chan, you know it's going to be fun." Miku said sounding cute. She wore a silver skimpy top and blue hot pants.

Kousuke perked his ears up, smiled, and started swooning. "You called me Onii-chan!" Kousuke said in a dreaming tone. "AH! Now my life is complete again."

"Yeah, don't expect that a lot though." Miku said sweat dropping.

Ryn wore a pink skirt and a sleeveless white top with a heart on the chest of the top. She wore her hair in a ponytail today again. "Wow, it looks a lot bigger than last year." She said looking at Ojii-chan's plane.

"Yeah I have no idea how that happened." Ryu said. He wore a red t-shirt white a black vest on and white pants. He looked at Maya, who was wearing a flowery dress. She was shivering. "Is something wrong Maya-nee?" Ryu asked.

Maya snapped back into reality. "Um no. Well have a good trip all of you." She said.

"You're not coming with us?" Ryu asked.

"Yeah."

"Why?" Ryu asked tilting his head.

"Well . . . I'm afraid of heights." Maya lied.

"But you take a plane to America." Ryu said.

"That's different."

"No it's not." Ryu replied.

"Ok um . . . it's just." Maya struggled for an answer. Then she ran. "JUST GOOD LUCK RYU! And be careful!"

"Um . . . that was odd." Ryu said.

"Maya really looked scared." Ryn remarked. Ryu nodded.

"Well." Ojii-chan said putting his hands on Ryu's shoulder. "IKUZO! And aren't you hot wearing red?"

"I like red though." Ryu replied.

"Sure it's not because you're the red ranger?" Ojii-chan asked sweat dropping. Ryu nodded. Then Ojii-chan turned around. "Then again, Ryuuji did always wear red no matter what."

"You say something?" Ryu asked. Ojii-chan shook his head.

Then Ojii-chan ran up the ramp to the plane. "COME ON! The plane leaves in a few minutes!"

"Well, I guess we're going." Rai said.

Everyone looked at Ryu. Reika was just waiting for her brother to go up first. "What?" Ryu asked.

"You're our leader." Lee said.

"Now how about it oh fearless leader?" Karen said.

"We're at your command." Miku said.

"So what will it be?" Ryn asked.

Ryu looked at everyone. "Well then." He cleared his throat. "Minna, IKUZO!"

"Man you don't miss it till you miss it." Rai said. "Haven't heard that in such a long time."

"Sorry . . ." Ryu said.

"Not really your fault, just never came up though." Rai said.

Then Ryu looked at Kousuke, who was still swooning ecstasy after Miku called him Onii-chan. "Oh and Kousuke, GO BACK TO ACTING LIKE YOUR PSYCHO SELF! You're scary like this." Then Ryu heard a rifle cocking. "Then again, never mind." Ryu turned around. How does he keep a rifle in that coat?

- -

Kai got up and put on his mask. He walked to the door of the temple. "I'm going Kyoko." Kai said.

"Where are you going Kai-sama?" Kyoko asked.

"I'm going to get my Kodenjyu." Kai said. Wait . . .WHAT! Kai has a Kodenjyu!? What the!

- -

Ryu fell asleep in his seat after the plane was in the air for a bit. Ryn, who was sitting next to him, giggled when Ryu fell asleep. "Last time we were in a plane together you fell asleep really quick." She said. "And to think you were so energetic a few minutes ago. It's just so cute." Ryn said. Then she looked at Ryu's lips, and she blushed. "Should I . . . I mean . . . Mama did say that I should make the first move since Ryu is not the type to do so . . . hm . . ." Ryn looked. "Ah whose it going to hurt." She puckered her lips and went forward.

Then a hand grabbed Ryn's shoulder. Ryn jumped in her seat and her lips went back to normal. She turned around and saw Miku. "Hi Ryn." Miku said, with a really creepy smile that looked almost psychotic. "We're all going to play some cards . . . do you want to come with? And when I say do you want to come with . . ." Miku thrust her face right in front of Ryn's, the two's chests coming in contact with each other. "You better come or else." Miku said with an almost demonic tone.

KYA! Ryn thought screamed. "Ok." Ryn said, sweating in fear as Miku looked almost demonic right at that moment. Ryn got up and made way to the other three, Rai, Karen, and Lee. (Kousuke was still swooning in ecstasy. My gosh someone stop that man. And Reika was just watching them play the cards) They were all sitting at a round table that was on the private plane. Ryn sat next to Rai. "What are we playing?" She asked.

"Big Two." Karen replied.

"And Lee is now out." Rai said. "You're in Ryn."

"Ok." Ryn said. Her hands were shaking as she took the cards that Rai dealt out to Karen, Miku, himself, and Ryn.

"Something wrong?" Rai asked noticing Ryn's shaking.

"No nothing really." Ryn said. Except Miku was really scary just a few moments ago.

"Didn't Ryu-san want to play?" Karen asked.

"He's asleep." Ryn replied.

"He sure likes to sleep." Lee mentioned.

"Well, it's been like this every time he's on a plane. Once the plane is in the air, he quickly falls asleep." Ryn explained.

There was a long pause. "I sure hope he doesn't have any plans to become an airplane pilot." Lee said. Everyone nodded. Kousuke was STILL swooning in ecstasy. Even Ojii-chan's constant white cane swats did nothing to Kousuke. Heck, Kousuke could be bleeding and Kousuke wouldn't care.

- -

Ryu, who was sleeping peacefully . . . was not really sleeping peacefully. He was having quite the nightmare. Flashes of events from the ancient past. Various Kodenjyus and various Kagejyus fighting each other. The Kodenjyus were winning, till Kodenjyus started getting destroyed by an unknown being. A serpent, a black serpent designed very much like the Kodenjyu like beast that appears when Kai is about to transform into Kurochi. On top of the Serpent's head, was man, who looks very similar to Ryu.

"WHAT THE!" Ryu shouted as he looked at the man on top of the serpent. The Kodenjyu like serpent started tearing many Kodenjyus apart. A giraffe Kodenjyu got its neck torn off. A mouse Kodenjyu was blasted to pieces by the black serpent. Everything gone . . . despair reigned . . . no hope . . . only darkness . . . brought on by one man and his odd Kodenjyu. A man who looks so much like Ryu. Ryuoh in this nightmare flew forward and rammed the black serpent. The two beasts started biting and tackling each other. The man on the Black Serpent's head blasted Ryuoh with a large fireball. Ryuoh was down. The Black Serpent was about to finish Ryuoh off, and then the scenery changed. Ryu was now standing on the ground. A whole village was burning. The man who set the village on fire, the man who looks like Ryu. The man turned, as if looking at Ryu. Ryu was scared, he's never been so scared before, never been so afraid of death. This man . . . this man, he was pure evil.

A voice sounded. These are the sins that you must carry, these are the burdens on your shoulder, KODENRED!

But wait! Scene shift again. And this man, he's now leading a group of four fighters. They looked very much like the main Kodenrangers, except for the ones in Green and Yellow since the genders of those two compared to the current Kodenrangers are reversed.

Another shift, and Ryu was watching a happy scene. The man was sitting on the porch of a home, and he was holding a little girl in his arms. He was reading a book to the girl. The girl might have been the man's daughter. Then a woman came over and sat down next to the man while he was reading to his daughter. The woman looked a lot like Ryn. She held the man's daughter in her arms. The three looked like such a happy family, except the man had a really cold expression on his face.

One final scene, Ryu noticed the man standing on top of Ryuoh's head now facing off against the same Black Serpent during the Kodenjyu Kagejyu war. The Serpent was biting at Ryuoh, as if trying to get its old master back. Then fade in darkness.

Ryu looked around. Never had he been this scared. This was mentally scarring. Everything black. Darkness swirling everywhere. Trying to catch him and hurt him. Draining Ryu of his whole being. He can't take it. He wanted to die. He wanted to kill himself. He just wanted to pain to end . . .

His despair was delicious. It was so terrifying. This boy, who was not afraid of Kagejyus but of his odd life, is now afraid of the Shadows surrounding him. These sins brought on by the man who looked just like him.

And just when Ryu felt his strength coming back to him, he heard breathing around him. Ryu looked up, and saw the Black Serpent above him. The Black Serpent was looking at Ryu with a cold expression. Then it lunged forward with its open fangs and engulfed Ryu.

- -

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ryu screamed waking up. He was sweating in fear all over.

The others heard Ryu, and this scream actually snapped Kousuke back to reality. The scream was just that terrifying. "Ryu!" All of them, except for Kousuke and Ojii-chan, screamed. They ran to Ryu.

"RYU!" Ryn shouted. "Are you ok!?" Then Ryu quickly embraced Ryn. Ryu was crying. "Ryu?"

"I'm so scared." Ryu whimpered. "So scared. I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

"Ryu, what is going on with you!?" Ryn shouted. But she's never really seen Ryu so scared before. Even before, the most Ryu got scared was from watching a scene in a horror movie, but even then Ryu was not as afraid as he was just now.

"Just what happened in his dream?" Lee asked.

- -

Ryu eventually calmed down and went back to sleep. The others were really afraid. Just what happened to Ryu.

Then Ryu woke up when they were nearing their destination . . . and he forgot all about that dream! "AHH!" He shouted. "That was a nice sleep!" After he said this the others looked at each other as if what the heck just happened. "Well then, we're almost near!"

"Yeah." The others said nodding.

"Well then." Ojii-chan said. "Looks like you're back to your cheery self." He said.

"Eh?" Ryu said.

"Let's get the parachutes ready!" Ojii-chan pointed at the ceiling.

Everyone but the old man tilted their heads in confusion. "Eh?"

Then Ojii-chan brought out eight parachutes and threw them to the Kodenrangers and Reika. "We're parachuting down." Ojii-chan said.

"EH!" Ryu screamed. "WHY!?"

"Because I only paid the pilot for one trip, and it's not in technical terms a round trip so he can't stop until he flies back home."

" . . . THERE'S NO LOGIC IN THAT WHATSOEVER!" Ryu screamed.

"But it's MY logic!" Ojii-chan pointed at the ceiling, which wrote Takeru. "Why does that gag keep running even when I don't run it?" Then Ojii-chan ran to a door. He slid the door open. "WE'RE NEARING THE ISLAND!" Ojii-chan shouted. "NOW PUT ON YOUR PARACHUTES AND LETS GO DOWN!"

"Um . . . ok." Ryu said. "But what about our luggage?"

"THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN PARACHUTED DOWN TO THE ISLAND!" Ojii-chan replied.

"I'm not even going to ask." Rai said. Reika nodded in response. All of them placed on their parachutes.

"NOW! RYU YOU FIRST!" Ojii-chan said.

"HOLY CRAP! WHY ME!" Ryu shouted.

"Because you're the leader." Ojii-chan whispered.

"NANI!? What about you!? You're the MENTOR!"

"But I'm Ojii-chan!" Ojii-chan said pointing at his smile.

"That's odd logic." Ryu said. Ryu walked forward and peeked out the door. "Whoa this is so high up."

"We're in a plane, what do you expect?" Ojii-chan asked.

Ryu still looked down. "Man this is so high up." Ryu said. "I wonder, man, should I, I don't know, man now I know why Maya-nee didn't come." Ojii-chan stepped back.

Then Ojii-chan lightly tapped Ryu's butt with a kick.

"Eh?" Ryu said as he was suddenly launched from the plane. "WAH!" He fell. "AIYEE!"

"Well . . . LET'S GO!" Ojii-chan shouted.

Rai inched over to Lee. "Remind me never to have Ojii-chan behind my back ever again." Rai whispered. Lee nodded.

Rai, Lee, Karen, Ryn, Miku, Kousuke, Reika, and Ojii-chan jumped out after Ryu. Ryu was so not enjoying his free fall. "SAVE ME!" Ryu shouted. Ryu was afraid, but not as afraid as he was when he woke up the first time. Too bad he doesn't even remember.

Kousuke free fell, almost as if ignoring that he was free falling. Well it seemed that way. In fact he was quite bored. "This isn't really fun." He said.

Rai had on a cold face while free falling head first. Then Lee came down and rammed Rai on the back. "GAH!" Rai shouted as he did not expect Lee to do a mid-air tackle.

"Come on Kaicho!" Lee said with a big smile. "Enjoy this, it's not everyday that you get to parachute to an island.

"I guess." Rai said. The two separated from each other. Then Reika grabbed Rai's hands.

Reika was giggling while holding her brother's hands. "Isn't this fun Onii-chan?" She asked giggling.

Rai was kind of speechless. "Yeah." He said smiling. At least Reika's happy.

"YAH!" Ryu screamed as he fell. "I'M GOING TO DIE, I'M GOING TO DIE!" And to think just before he also said something about not wanting to die. Oh the irony here.

Then Miku came up to Ryu and grabbed Ryu's face. "Hi Ryu-kun." Miku said in a loving tone and came closer to Ryu's face trying to kiss him. Ryu freaked out.

Then Ryn came down and kicked Miku down. Miku let out a yelp after she was kicked away from Ryu. After seeing Miku get kick down Ryu freaked out more. "YAH!" Then Ryn was pulled down by Miku, who did so in retaliation.

"HOLY SHIT!" Ryu screamed. "This is a battleground! Or sky whatever."

"EE!" Karen shrieked while free falling. She came up close to Ryu.

"Not enjoying this?" Ryu asked Karen. Karen shook her head. "Welcome to the club."

"Ojii-chan is so irrational." Karen whined. "This is so scary!"

"Just calm down and pull out your parachute when the time is right." Ryu said.

"Oh thanks Ryu-san." Karen said. "But how come you're not calming down."

"Because Ojii-chan is so ruthless so there's no point in calming down." Ryu replied. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go back to screaming my lungs out. AHH . . . YAH!" Ojii-chan came down and dropped kicked Ryu's back.

"Shut up and fall." Ojii-chan said. He looked at Karen who was staring at Ojii-chan, stupefied. "He had it coming."

"Remind me never to have you anywhere above me." Karen said.

"YAH!" Ryu screamed falling past the two fighting girls, Ryn and Miku. "OJII-CHAN! YOU BASTARD!"

Just at this moment, a black figure on top of one of the wings of the plane jumped off the plane and dropped down. This figure fell much faster than the others, and thus appeared as an invisible blur. This figure passed Ryu, who caught a glimpse of the figure's look.

"K-k-k-Kai?" Ryu gasped. Kai, his opened battle robe flowing in the air, stared at Ryu coldly. Time froze between the two, the two exchanged glances, surprised glances from Ryu, fierce ones from Kai. Kai passed Ryu and free fell all the way to the forest which made up part of the island.

Ryu was shocked. What was Kai doing here? But on to more important matters first, SURVIVING! Ryu realized how close he was to the ground. "OH MY GOSH!" Ryu screamed. He then pulled for his life, letting his parachute down. A red one. In fact, all the rangers got one corresponding to their color. Reika got a white one and Ojii-chan got a black one.

- -

Logically Ryu landed first. "OH SWEET LAND!" Ryu cried. He ran up the beach, took off his parachute pack, and fell on his knee. "YES!" Ryu shouted to the sky.

The others landed shortly. Ryu ran up and started complaining to Ojii-chan. "OH MY GOSH! WERE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME UP THERE!?" Ryu screamed.

Ojii-chan stared at Ryu. "Do you want the truth or do you want a lie?" Ojii-chan asked.

"GAH!" Ryu looked like he wanted to strangle Ojii-chan. "Never have I ever felt like doing this to you in my life till now!" Ryu screamed then he turned around. "Well at least I'm here."

"It hasn't changed much has it Ryu?" Ryn said coming up next to him. She grabbed Ryu's arm.

"Yeah." Ryu said. Unbeknownst to Ryu, Ryn turned and stuck her tongue out at Miku, really irritating Miku as Ryn got close to Ryu. Karen sensed the tension between those two girls.

"Well I was going to say no, but you don't seem to care about the truth anyway." Ojii-chan said. "You're so weird."

Ryn released Ryu as Ryu walked forward. Then Ryu looked up at the sky. "HOLY CRAP!" Ryu screamed. Ryu fell on his rear and started scooting back. A silver suitcase fell from the sky and landed right in front of Ryu's . . . crotch. "HOLY! I STILL NEED THAT!" Ryu screamed at the plane which, one of the staff in the plane, threw the case out, referring to his . . . um . . . you know what. Then the little handle on the case fell and hit Ryu's . . . you know what. "KU!" Ryu felt a sensation of pain. Ryu then quickly got up and held his crotch. "EE!" Ryu screamed and started hopping around. "AHH! OW! OW! OW! WAH!"

"RYU!" Ryn screamed.

"EEP!" Karen covered her eyes in shame.

"YIKES!" Miku jumped back in surprise.

Rai, Lee, and Kousuke sweat dropped. "Well at least we know he's really a guy down there." Rai said to Lee. Lee and Kousuke nodded.

"That must hurt." Reika commented. Rai, Lee, and Kousuke nodded.

Ojii-chan walked up to the case and picked it up. Ojii-chan dusted the case. "Almost forgot this." Ojii-chan said.

"And you couldn't have remembered to take it out with you when you decided to parachute!?" Ryu shouted sarcastically. "YOU COULD'VE SAVED ME A WORLD OF PAIN!"

"Oh suck it up. Take it like a man!" Ojii-chan said.

"I AM!" Ryu retorted.

"Your father used to get kicked down there most of the time and he sucked it up." Ojii-chan retorted back.

Ryu's ears perked up. "SERIOUSLY!?" Ryu shouted. Ojii-chan nodded. "Then for the sake of my father, I must endure!" Ryu held his fist high up.

Ryuuji walked into a restaurant where Takeshi and Takumi-sensei were meeting him. Ryuuji got to the table where the latter two were. "So . . . what am I doing here again?" Ryuuji asked.

"Nothing, just here for moral support." Takeshi-sensei said.

Ryuuji stared at Takeshi. "You're courting a woman aren't you?" Ryuuji asked with a sly smile.

"DOH!" Takeshi's head just dropped on the table. "Why do you always have to tease me like that man!?" Takeshi whined.

"Because . . ." Ryuuji said. "YOU'RE A SINGLE FORTY YEAR OLD MAN!" Ryuuji shouted. "So who are you hitting on this time?" Ryuuji asked with a sly smile, now sitting down.

"Mai." Takeshi said.

"You mean that hot chick of a teacher with the large bust and tight rear?" Ryuuji asked. Takeshi nodded. "And what's he doing here, he hitting on her too?" Ryuuji pointed at Takumi.

"He's my wingman." Takeshi said. Takumi blushed.

Ryuuji just stared at the two single forty year old men. "You're . . . Pathetic." Ryuuji said. "She's a 23 year old teacher while you two are forty year old men . . . WHO ARE BOTH STILL SINGLE! Ryu has a better chance of tapping that than you do." Ryuuji said.

"Why you got to say it like that man?" Takeshi complained. "And besides, you've always been the one to get ALL the girls when we were young."

"Hello." Ryuuji said pointing at himself. "Still young." As he's still sixteen years old.

"Right." Takumi said nodding and still blushing.

"Besides." Ryuuji said. "You have a better chance of getting one of your students to become yours."

Takeshi just froze. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!? I'm no pedophile!"

"You should learn from Takumi, he's a pedophile." Ryuuji said.

"EH!?" Takumi became as red as a rose. "I'm not . . . I mean . . . I'm . . . Huh?"

"We should call you Pedo-bear." Ryuuji teased.

"EH!" Takumi cried.

Then Mai came to the table, wearing a black tube top and white miniskirt. She had on a black sleeveless jacket. "Hello Takeshi-sempai." Mai said. "It's nice to meet your friend." She said cutely.

Takeshi and Takumi blushed. Ryuuji thought, wow those two are pathetic.

Then Mai noticed Ryuuji. "Oh Ryunosuke-kun, what are you doing here?" She asked Ryuuji, mistaking Ryuuji for his son, whom he has no idea IS his son.

Ryuuji perked his ears up. This woman thinks I'm Ryu . . . I can tell she likes him just a bit . . . heh, time for some fun. Ryuuji got up and grabbed Mai's hand, then kissed Mai's hand. "Mai-sensei, it's so nice to see you when school's out." Ryuuji said.

"ACK!" Takeshi just dropped his jaws and his eyes became as white as death. Takumi was freaked out by Takeshi's reaction.

"Oh Ryunosuke-kun, how polite of you." Mai said giggling, then she slipped on the floor. "KYAH!" And this ended up in Ryuuji getting kicked in the nuts.

"OOH!" Ryuuji cried holding his crotch.

"AHH RYUNOSUKE-KUN!" Mai cried.

"OOH!" Ryuuji started rolling all over the floor. "EE!" Ryuuji started hopping around. "AHH!" Ryuuji cried. "OOH!" Ryuuji started squirming on the floor. "IT HURTS SO MUCH!" Tears kept streaming from his eyes. Mai tried to calm Ryuuji down.

"AHH! Even in this time and age he still gets all the girls!" Takeshi shouted. "But I must say, that must hurt." Takeshi mentioned about the ball buster kick.

Takumi protected his crotch.

- -

"Then again, Ryuuji was always a wimp when it came to getting kicked in the nuts." Ojii-chan whispered.

"OW!" Ryu cried. "It still hurts so much!"

"My gosh, and that only came from a small tap from this handle." Ojii-chan remarked.

"SMALL! That handle is heavy and hard!" Ryu screamed. "By the way, what's in that case?" Ryu asked seemingly forgotten about his pain.

Ojii-chan flinched. "Sorry, none of your business." He said, he started running into the forest.

"OI OJII-CHAN!" Ryu shouted. Ojii-chan ignored Ryu and ran up the path. "Maybe I should go check on him." Ryu said. He was about to run, but then Miku grabbed Ryu's arm.

"Ne Ryu-kun?" Miku said cutely. "Mind showing us around this place?"

"Um . . . why not get Ryn to show you around, she knows this place just as well as I do?"

"Mou, but I want you to show us around?" Miku said with a puppy dog pout.

"That wench!" Ryn shouted. Karen held Ryn down. "I'LL KILL HER! She just wants to find the chance to get Ryu alone!"

"RYN-SAN!" Karen shouted. "What happen to being on friendly terms with Miku-san?"

"THIS IS DIFFERENT!"

"Wow, you can just sense the tension." Lee said. "I bet you're jealous right now." Lee said with a teasing smile to Rai, but notice that Rai was quite depressed that he (Rai) seems to have no chance with Ryn.

"Huh, oh yeah." Rai answered, without taking into mind what Lee said.

"Whoops." Lee said.

Reika came up to her brother and noticed that Rai was depressed. "What did you say to him Lee?" Reika asked.

"Nothing really." Lee said. Wow, Kaicho is so depressed over Ryn having only eyes for Ryu. It's . . . kind of sad.

- -

Ryu couldn't take it. He decided to show everyone around. He showed everyone the hotels, the restaurants, and the social places.

"Why is the island empty?" Miku asked.

"Well usually people only come to this island in the summer, I don't know why it's empty the rest of the year. And there are no inhabitants on this island." Ryu explained.

"That's odd." Kousuke commented.

"It is." Ryu said.

- -

Ojii-chan made his way towards the top of a cliff. "Got to seal these gems before they awaken." Ojii-chan said. "I don't have much time." Ojii-chan ran. Then Kai intercepted Ojii-chan. Kai was holding his mask in his right hand.

"I'm not going to let you seal those." Kai said. "Not again."

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to let you have these." Ojii-chan said. "No way."

Kai glared at Ojii-chan. "Well then, I was going to stop you from sealing them, but if you insist, then I guess I'll take them." Kai said putting on his mask.

"I'll like to see you try youngster." Ojii-chan said taking out his white cane.

"I'm not that young." Kai said. "But I'll take that as a compliment anyway." Kai dashed at Ojii-chan. Kai started with a palm crash. Ojii-chan parried with the cane. Then Ojii-chan tried to trip Kai but Kai jumped then tried to kick off of Ojii-chan. Ojii-chan used the suitcase to block, then whacked Kai while Kai was in the air. Kai grabbed onto the cane before Ojii-chan whacked, and landed. Then Ojii-chan pulled the cane away from Kai and whacked at Kai again. Kai defended with his golden armlets. Then Kai flipped back. "Hebi Koha!" Kai shouted firing a black projection of a Serpent like Kodenjyu, much like the one in Ryu's dream.

- -

Ryu heard a big explosion in the forest. Ryu turned. "OJII-CHAN!" Ryu cried. He ran towards the closest path into the forest.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" Lee shouted.

"Come on we should follow Ryu." Rai said. "Reika, you should stay here. Would you be fine by yourself?"

"Yes Onii-chan." Reika said.

The other six Kodenrangers ran after Ryu. Ryu ran quickly, every second counting as one second late could equal a dead Ojii-chan. Please don't die Ojii-chan. Ryu thought to himself. Please don't.

- -

The serpent caused some damage to the sight. Trees burned, little embers burning on the ground, charred marks on Ojii-chan's face. "Whoo." Ojii-chan let out. "That was close. If I didn't jump back I would be a fried old man."

"You were lucky." Kai said. He charged energy into his hands again. "I don't like to kill Old Men, but I will gladly get rid of you just so I can get that case!" Kai shouted. "Goyu Hebi Kodan!" Kai charged a large orb, with a black shape swirling inside it like it was a snake, in his hands. The orb got larger and larger, then Kai fired it at Ojii-chan.

"OJII-CHAN!" Ryu cried out. He jumped out and pushed Ojii-chan and himself out of the way of the blast. The blast struck the ground. "KAI!" Ryu shouted. "I won't forgive you for this!"

"Zetsubou (Despair)." Kai said. "Your despair at that moment . . . it felt great." Kai said. "The darkness in your fear . . . so you care for this old man huh?"

"At least I have something to care for!" Ryu retorted. Kai grunted at that remark. Ojii-chan really felt touched that his adoptive grandson, even though are both at odds with each other at times, really does care. Ryu looked at the case in Ojii-chan's hands. "You want this, then come and get it!" Ryu took the case and then ran off.

"OI RYU!" Ojii-chan shouted back. Kai jumped over Ojii-chan's head and chased Ryu.

Rai and the others came just right now. "Where's Ryu?" Rai asked.

"He just ran up that path." Ojii-chan said. Rai and the others went. Ojii-chan placed his hands together as if in prayer. "Ryu . . . please be ok. Those gems in that case are really dangerous."

- -

Ryu ran up while Kai chased. Eventually Kai jumped over Ryu's head and blocked Ryu. "Give me that case." Kai growled.

"NEVER!" Ryu shouted. Then Ryu ran to his left. Kai gave chase. Ryu stopped and kicked Kai. Kai grabbed Ryu's leg, then Ryu used his other leg to jump off and kicked Kai's head. Kai stumbled back while Ryu fell to the ground, and quickly got back up.

"Boy, do you even know what you are even protecting in there?" Kai asked.

"No, but I don't care, you're not getting it." Ryu said.

"Heh." Kai said. "Too bad, it's mine anyway."

"What?"

"One of those items in that case . . . rightfully belongs to me!" Kai shouted. Kai charged energy into his hands. "HEBI SMASH!"

Ryu growled. Ryu jumped back, and Kai missed. Kai however was aiming for the case. Kai slammed at the case, however, Ryu pulled the case back and slammed Kai's head.

"NO WAY!" Ryu shouted defensively. Ryu then kicked Kai's energized hand away and then kicked Kai's chest, launching Kai away. "There's no way you're getting this . . . not after what you did to Ojii-chan!" Then a black glow seeped through the case. "What?"

Kai widened his eyes in surprise. "It's awake." Kai gasped.

Ryu looked at the case. "What is going on!?" Ryu shouted.

Rai and the others came up to Ryu and Kai, and notice the glowing case. "What is that!?" Ryn gasped.

The case then shattered into pieces, and three gems came rolling out. These gems looked like Koden Gems, only not as shiny. One was magenta, another was orange, and the last was black. The black one was glowing. It seemed to call to the Kage energy on Ryu, as Ryu had kicked Kai's energized hand, thus putting some Shadow Energy in his body. And somehow . . . that little burst of energy in Ryu was able to affect the black gem into responding to Ryu. Or does Ryu have something more in his powers?

The black gem then started glowing wildly. It flew up and lunged at Ryu. "WHOA!" Ryu dodged it by rolling away, but the black gem flew back at Ryu. It was as if the black gem had some sort of hostility for Ryu.

Ryu rolled away again, and the black gem smashed into the ground, creating a large crater for its size.

"HOLY COW!" Rai shouted. "That thing can really kill Ryu!"

"RYU-SAN!" Karen shouted.

Ryu was really scared. "What is this thing?" Ryu gasped. Then the Black Gem came at Ryu again. Ryu gasped, then the Red Koden Gem flew over and smashed at the Black Gem, to protect Ryu.

Kai then held out his hand. "Come." Kai said. The Black Gem flew to Kai's hand. "Let me show you . . . my despair . . . Zetsubou." Kai then held his Black Gem in front of his face, then Kai started chanting. His words were unintelligible but it sounded like he said, "Darkness within, Darkness unleash . . . I call upon thy powers to strike down those that oppose us, dispose of the light . . . destroy all that retaliates. Bring Despair. Give me your power . . . and help me strike down my enemies . . . ONCE AGAIN!" The Black Gem released a small shockwave. "NOW!" Kai shouted throwing the Black Gem into the sky. "COME FORTH! HEBIOH!" The Black Gem started glowing much more wildly. "Kage Shorai!" Kai shouted. "Hebi Rai Jyu!" The Black Gem then formed into a Black Serpent like Kodenjyu, the exact same one in Ryu's dream. Everyone gasped at this mecha.

Ryu gasped when he saw the giant snake. It seemed familiar, yet he did not know why. Kai jumped on top of the Serpent's head.

Kai took off his mask and looked at Ryu. "Ryunosuke Rekka!" Kai shouted. "Do you know what this is?" Ryu was speechless. "This is . . . a Kage Kodenjyu." Kai answered his own question.

"A . . . Kage Kodenjyu?" Ryu gasped.

"This was once a Kodenjyu fighting against the shadows. But as time past, this Kodenjyu lost all will to fight on, it lost its sense of justice, it lost its will to fight the Kagejyus. It took on a more different approach, it instead started gathering despair." Kai placed his mask back on and held a hand in front of his face. "Zetsubou . . . Zetsubou . . . I'll show you all the despair that I've kept up in my heart in this battle!" Kai started glowing. "KAGE GAI SOU!" Kai's battle armor flew onto him. "KOE RYUNOSUKE REKKA!"

"You." Ryu growled. "KODEN SHORAI!" Ryu shouted, doing an instant henshin and appeared on top of Ryuoh's head.

"WHOA!" Rai and the others step back before Ryuoh's long tail almost hit them.

Ryuoh and Hebioh, the serpent Kage Kodenjyu, started fighting each other. Ryu and Kai also went at it on top of the beast's head. Then Kai and Ryu kicked each other back while Ryuoh and Hebioh fired fire and dark fire breaths at each other respectively. Ryu and Kai then entered into the cockpit of their Kodenjyus.

"Elemental Henkei!" Ryu shouted. Ryuoh transformed. "Ryuoh, Blazing Up!"

"Shadow Henkei!" Kai shouted holding his Black Gem in front of the control orb of his mecha. Hebioh transformed into a humanoid mecha much like Ryu. The boosters on its back formed into arms. It's boosters at the end formed into legs similar to Ryuoh. A head emerged in a similar fashion to Ryuoh. The head was black with red eyes and a silver mouth plate. There was a golden crown on top of the head. "Emperoroh, Darkness Release!" Hebioh was now Emperoroh.

The two mechas stood ready to face each other. "Ryunosuke." Kai said. "Come at me if you have the will to fight."

Ryuoh dashed at Emperoroh. Emperoroh however shadow stepped to the side and then to the back of Ryuoh. Emperoroh then back jabbed Ryuoh. Ryuoh stumbled then Emperoroh grabbed the back of Ryuoh. Emperoroh lifted Ryuoh high up and slammed Ryuoh on the ground. Emperoroh then stomped Ryuoh, kicked Ryuoh high into the air, then elbowed Ryuoh to the ground. Ryuoh horse kicked Emperoroh away while Ryuoh was down.

"Ryu doesn't look like he's doing good." Lee mentioned.

"Yeah, we better help." Rai said taking his green gem in hand. Everyone followed suit.

"RELEASE! Legend of the beast, KODEN HENSHIN!" The six transformed. "KODEN SHORAI!" They instantly summoned their Kodenjyus and Kodentiger.

Ryuoh stood up and saw the other Kodenjyus coming. "Elemental Gattai." Ryu growled. Ryuoh jumped backwards. Kodentenma and Kirin formed into leg parts. Ryuoh combined with the two Kodenjyus. Then Kodenhouou flew in and attached to Ryuoh's back. The gauntlet pieces that Kodenhouou had a hold of attached to Ryuoh. Kodenshishi separated into its four separate pieces. Two shoulder pads, lion head chest, and the Shishi Saber. The pieces attached and Ryuoh grabbed hold of the Shishi Saber with its right hand. Kodenhouou's tail sword flew to Ryuoh's left hand. Kodenryuoh's usual helmet attached to Ryuoh's head.

"KodenElementalOh, Blazing Up!"

"Tsk." Kai wasn't impressed. "Wrong move in your part."

"Elemental Gattai!" Miku and Kousuke announced. Kodenhawk, Eagle, and Tiger combined into Bursttohja. "Bursttohja, Burst Out!" The two combined mechas faced Emperoroh.

Emperoroh dashed. "That's not going to beat me." Kai said.

"There's no way we'll lose with this formation!" Ryu shouted. KodenElementalOh combined the ends of its two swords. KodenElementalOh slashed at Emperoroh. Bursttohja stabbed at Emperoroh with Kodeneagle's tail spear.

Emperoroh got launched back by Bursttohja's spear, however, KodenElementalOh's sword, the Shishi Saber side, was grabbed by Emperoroh. So after Emperoroh was launched away, KodenElementalOh was pulled away with it.

"NANI!?" Kousuke shouted in shock.

"What does he have planned?" Miku was surprised as well.

"WAH!" The five in KodenElementalOh screamed. Then Emperoroh palm thrust the chest plate of KodenElementalOh. Rai felt a lot of pain compared to Ryn, Karen, and Lee, but Ryu felt the most pain. Then Emperoroh kicked Kodentenma and Kodenkirin with its right leg. Lee and Karen felt a lot of pain, but Ryu felt the most pain. Ryu was screaming really loudly. Emperoroh flipped KodenElementalOh around, and kicked KodenElementalOh to the ground. Then Emperoroh kept stomping Kodenhouou which was on the back of KodenElementalOh. Ryn screamed, but Ryu screamed much more louder.

"Can you feel the pain Ryunosuke!" Kai shouted. Emperoroh kept stomping. "Do you feel my despair!? This despair! ZETSUBOU! I've kept this bottled up for many years! You will never know the despair that I know of! With this despair I'll end your life!" Kai seemed to be trying to provoke Ryu.

"Shut up." Ryu growled. "SHUT UP!" KodenElementalOh's free hand grabbed Kodenhouou from its back and turned around. Kodenhouou's wings folded up, creating a shield for KodenElementalOh. Emperoroh's next stomp was blocked by the Kodenhouou shield. KodenElementalOh pushed Emperoroh's foot away with the Houou Shield. KodenElementalOh quickly got up, but then Emperoroh's snake chest extended out and bit KodenElementalOh's neck, which was Ryuoh's neck. "WAH!" Ryu screamed loudly. Sparks flew off of KodenElementalOh and streams of lightning struck all over the mecha's body. Eventually KodenElementalOh split into its five separate pieces.

The five rangers screamed. Emperoroh then looked up. "Hm, so you got up there." Kai said. Bursttohja was in the sky, ready to fire it's finisher at Kai.

"SHINING JUDGEMENT CROSSER . . . STREAM VERSION!" Miku and Kousuke shouted while Bursttohja pulled the Kodeneagle spear back while the Kodenhawk fan attachment created a bow shape projection. Bursttohja fired multiple projections of its finisher.

"Hm." Emperoroh then dashed to Kodenshishi. Emperoroh grabbed Kodenshishi.

"GAH!" Rai screamed as Emperoroh transferred energy into Kodenshishi. Kodenshishi roared in pain and its eyes turned black. Then Emperoroh threw Kodenshishi into the air and Kodenshishi split into its separate pieces.

"Shadow Buso." Kai said. Kodenshishi combined with Emperoroh. "Shishi Emperoroh." Shishi Emperoroh looked up.

"No way." Rai gasped as he was stuck in Kodenshishi's cockpit while Kodenshishi was combined with Emperoroh.

"He combined with Kodenshishi!" Karen gasped.

Shishi Emperoroh looked up and charged energy into the lion chest plate. "You're not getting me with that." Shishi Emperoroh dodged the falling arrows, then fired a black lighting orb from the Lion Head chest plate. "Kage Koha!"

Bursttohja kept firing, but then noticed the sphere coming. Bursttohja got struck in the air and shot down. Miku and Kousuke screamed and Bursttohja split into its three separate pieces. Kodentiger fell to the ground with a thud. Kodeneagle and Kodenhawk stayed airborne, till Shishi Emperoroh shot those two down.

- -

Ojii-chan felt the ground shake and looked up. He saw Shishi Emperoroh standing and the other mechas on the ground. "Damn it." Ojii-chan grunted. He then ran down the path. "There's only one thing that I can do right now, but this is going to be dangerous."

- -

Shishi Emperoroh dashed at Ryuoh. "Shit." Ryu grunted. "Elemental Gattai!" Ryuoh recombined with Kodenhouou. Kodenryuoh was formed. Kodenryuoh flew towards Shishi Emperoroh.

"Tsk." Kai grunted. "He doesn't even know what he's doing." Kai said. "With that gattai, he expects to fight a sword to sword battle, but he doesn't even realize that my gattai has anti-air capabilities even though I just demonstrated them. Now if he had combined with that Tenma and Kirin, he would be able to disarm me and avoid anti-air projectiles. Ryunosuke . . . you still have a lot to learn!" Shishi Emperoroh parried Kodenryuoh's slash. Kodenryuoh continued slashing at Shishi Emperoroh. Shishi Emperoroh kept parrying. Then Kodenryuoh took to the skies. "Bad move." Shishi Emperoroh fired dark lighting spheres from the lion chest plate. Kodenryuoh was shot down.

When Kodenryuoh fell near Shishi Emperoroh, Shishi Emperoroh slashed Kodenryuoh. The slash created spark trails on Kodenryuoh. Kodenryuoh dropped its Houou sword, and Shishi Emperoroh took hold of the sword. Then Shishi Emperoroh started slashing Kodenryuoh with both swords relentlessly. Kodenryuoh eventually split apart. Shishi Emperoroh threw the Houou sword at Ryuoh and struck Ryuoh on the chest. Ryu screamed as sparks flew off Ryuoh's chest. The Houou sword reattached to Kodenhouou.

Emperoroh grabbed Kodenshishi's lion head chest plate and threw it off. The rest of Kodenshishi on Emperoroh followed suit and detached and reattached into Kodenshishi. Kodenshishi dropped on the ground with a thud. Rai grunted as Kodenshishi dropped. Combining with Emperoroh really took a toll on Rai.

Emperoroh then walked to Kodentiger and grabbed Kodentiger, Kodentiger roared in pain as Emperoroh transferred energy into it. Then Kodentiger's eyes turned black. "Shadow Buso." Kai said. Emperoroh combined to the back of Kodentiger creating a centaur formation. "I'll show you . . . your despair through the Tiger Emperor!"

Ryuoh struggled to get up. "So you can combine with any of our Kodenjyus huh?" Ryu grunted. "That still won't stop me."

"If he combines with the other Kodenjyus to make that KodenElementalOh, he would be just fine." Kai said.

"I'LL STILL DEFEAT YOU!" Ryuoh charged at Tiger Emperoroh.

"And he doesn't even combine with any of the other beasts." Kai said. Then Tiger Emperoroh's two front legs kicked Ryuoh away. Ryuoh crashed with a thud and then Kodentiger's front legs kept stomping Ryuoh. Ryu felt more and more pain. Sparks kept flying off of Ryuoh.

Then two wolf like Kodenjyus jumped over the mountain and bit onto Tiger Emperoroh's arms. Emperoroh flailed around trying to get the two wolf beasts. Ryuoh looked up and noticed the two beasts. One wolf was black with white trimmings and red eyes. It had a metallic blue bladed tail. The other was metallic blue with black trimmings and blue eyes. It had a black bladed tail. Emperoroh threw the two wolves to the ground in front of Ryuoh. Ryuoh stood up and looked at the two wolves. "I don't know who you two belong to, but I need your help." Ryu held out his Red Koden Gem. "Double Elemental Buso!"

Miku noticed that Ryu was getting Ryuoh ready to combine with the two wolves. She knew that something was not right with the wolves. "Ryu-kun you can't!" Miku pleaded, "You shouldn't combine with those Kodenjyus!" But it was too late.

"Does he really intend to combine with those two savages?" Kai asked himself.

- -

Ojii-chan, now Kodensage, was holding his two Koden Gems, one black, the other metallic blue. He was sitting down in a meditating stance. He felt Ryuoh's presence while trying to keep the two Kodenwolves in control. "Ryu . . . No!" He shouted. "Damn it, he's going to combine with my Kodenjyus. There's no telling how long I can keep them in check. Ryu, you better not combine with them for long." Kodensage's Henshin Device's gem's crack started glowing.

- -

Raiju was on the island as well. He sat down on a cliff watching the Mecha fight. He rested his chin on the tops of his hands, which he held together. "Kai sure looks like he's holding back." Raiju said. Then a woman's hands grabbed and embraced Raiju from behind. Her face was hidden in the shadows of a tree. She had on a similar robe that Raiju wears.

"Well Kai has always been how should I say, soft." The woman said seductively. "We've already decided that he's a failure."

"Well you can't doubt his powers." Raiju said. "After all, he is one of the few who can control Hebioh, Rekka's beast." Raiju chuckled maniacally.

"Raiju-sama." The Chrono Kagejyu appeared from the shadow. He noticed the woman embracing Raiju from behind. "Sorry if I'm interrupting." The Chrono Kagejyu looked away and covered the side of his face.

"What is it, this better be important." Raiju said.

"Those two wolf Kagejyus, they look to be dangerous." The Chrono Kagejyu said.

Raiju smirked. "Well . . . the one inside Ryuoh . . . Rekka's descendant . . . is more dangerous." Raiju said in a maniacal tone.

"How so, how can a Kodenranger be more dangerous?" The Chrono Kagejyu asked.

"Just stop the old man who is controlling the Kodenwolves. Break his transformation, and I'll show you something fun." Raiju said chuckling maniacally.

"Hai, Raiju-sama." Chrono Kagejyu was about to stop time with his powers, but not before giving the woman one more glance. Who is this woman? He thought. He stabbed his staff into the ground. He pushed the top of his staff.

- -

The wolves' head pointed up and stood up to create legs for Ryuoh. The tail blades attached to the back of the wolves. Ryuoh combined with the two wolves.

- -

Time froze, and the Chrono Kagejyu walked to where Ojii-chan was. Then the Chrono Kagejyu pointed the staff at Ojii-chan's henshin device, which was hanging on the side of Ojii-chan's belt. The Chrono Kagejyu sped up Ojii-chan's time limit, to the point where the suit will forcibly shatter from Ojii-chan's body. The Chrono Kagejyu's time was done and he disappeared in the shadows.

The hands of time started to move again. Ojii-chan's henshin device was glowing really wildly. "What the!?" Ojii-chan shouted, but then his suit shattered right off his body. "NANI!? What the hell just happened!?" He looked at Ryuoh which combined with the two Kodenwolves. "No . . . how could my time be up so fast . . . no . . . those two beasts . . . they're going to go berserk . . . and Ryu is going to feel it." All Ojii-chan can do now is pray.

- -

"Howling Ryuoh, Blazing U . . ." Ryu was about to say, but then . . .

Raiju held out his hand and fired a dark orb at Ryuoh's back. Ryuoh and Ryu felt the surge of Dark Energy seeping in. The two wolves' savage mentality started to take over, especially since Ojii-chan had no control over the two beasts anymore.

Ryu grunted in pain. He held his chest in pain. Then dark lightning appeared all over Howling Ryuoh's body. The two wolves started roaring savagely. Ryu held his head in pain. "GAH!" He screamed.

"What's happening Ryu!?" Ryn shouted into her Kodenchangers. Ryu didn't respond. "Ryu, Ryu!"

Ryu kept screaming, the dark lightning constantly surrounding Howling Ryuoh, the two Savages trying to take control of Ryu. Ryu's suit kept dematerializing and materializing back and forth. Ryu kept stumbling inside his cockpit. Ryu kept groaning in pain and screaming. Images of a man riding on Hebioh, not Kai, flashed in his mind. Another image, the same man, standing in front of a burned village. These images kept flashing through Ryu's mind. Just thinking about those images hurt. Ryu couldn't take the pain anymore. A shadowy aura appeared around Ryu. Ryu dropped in front of his control orb. Kodenred stood up. The suit dematerialized. Ryu's eyes were red. The suit rematerialized, then dematerialized again. Ryu's eyes were pure black. The suit rematerialized, and one final dematerialized suit. Ryu's eyes were half red and half pure black, black as the night, black as nothingness, black as the shadow . . . Kodenred rematerialized, the shadowy aura disappeared. Something, however, was still wrong.

Howling Ryuoh crouched in a beastly stance. The battlefield was silent. Then, Howling Ryuoh roared to the sky. "YAH!" Ryu screamed. Howling Ryuoh dashed, and disappeared in a blur!

Tiger Emperoroh was then struck from the sides, a red blur clawing at it. Kai then reacted and grabbed the black Kodenwolf leg, which was the left leg, and threw Howling Ryuoh to the ground. Kodentiger attempted to stomp Howling Ryuoh. Then Howling Ryuoh grabbed Kodentiger's leg.

"WARGH!" Ryu shrieked horrifyingly. Then Howling Ryuoh threw Tiger Emperoroh into the air. Kai flipped in his cockpit and Tiger Emperoroh landed finely. Then Howling Ryuoh jumped on top of Kodentiger and started clawing at Emperoroh. Emperoroh was able to handle Howling Ryuoh using arm parries and palm thrust Howling Ryuoh off. But as Howling Ryuoh flipped in the air, the blades on the Wolves slashed Kodentiger.

"RYU!" Rai shouted. "Watch what you're hitting! That's one of our Kodenjyus you're striking!" Rai's pleas however . . . fell on deaf ears.

Howling Ryuoh growled. "YARGH!" Ryu shrieked wildly. Ryu didn't think about defeating Kai anymore. That thought was not in his head anymore. Now . . . the only thing Ryu thought . . . was to rip everything in his sight to shreds. "WARGH!" Ryu screamed and Ryuoh grabbed hold of Kodentiger's head. Howling Ryuoh kept kneeing Kodentiger's chin with the wolf blades.

"Do you see now?" Raiju chuckled maniacally. "This is Kodenred's true nature!"

"Who knew he would be so savage." The woman said.

"Well those two savages combined with Ryuoh help." Raiju laughed manically.

Then Howling Ryuoh threw Tiger Emperoroh to the ground. Howling Ryuoh kept clawing savagely. "YARGH! WAH! GAH! ARGH!" Ryu's loud shrieks were terrifying. The friendly young innocent boy . . . was now a savage destroyer.

"RYU!" Lee shouted. "CALM DOWN!"

"RYU-SAN! Please stop!" Karen shouted.

"Ryu you bastard!" Kousuke shouted. "LISTEN TO US AND STOP!"

Their pleas fell on deaf ears. Howling Ryuoh kept clawing Kodentiger. Kodenhawk and Kodenhouou flew to Ryuoh and tried stopping Howling Ryuoh.

"Ryu please stop it!" Ryn shouted. "STOP IT!"

"Ryu-kun stop this!" Miku screamed. "You're not like this, Ryu-kun!"

"YARGH!" Ryu screamed and Howling Ryuoh threw the two birds away. Howling Ryuoh went back to clawing Kodentiger, then kneed Kodentiger, creating sparks. Howling Ryuoh then threw Tiger Emperoroh to the ground. Then Howling Ryuoh jumped high into the sky.

Howling Ryuoh roared to the sky. The bladed tails detached and the wolf heads grabbed hold of their respective blades. Howling Ryuoh was getting ready to do its Elemental Hi Ougi, 'Luna Moon Breaker'. Howling Ryuoh launched the two tail blades at the fallen Tiger Emperoroh.

Emperoroh detached from Kodentiger, and Kodentiger was cut badly. Kodentiger started whimpering after the Elemental Hi Ougi connected. The blades flew back to the Kodenwolves' back, and Howling Ryuoh came down, ready to rip Emperoroh to shreds.

Emperoroh was however strong enough to handle Howling Ryuoh. As Howling Ryuoh got ready to knee Emperoroh, Emperoroh retaliated with a kick. Howling Ryuoh got launched back. Then Howling Ryuoh charged again and tried a roundhouse kick. Emperoroh roundhouse kicked as well. The two kicks collided, and a fiery explosion blasted from the kicks colliding. Howling Ryuoh slid back from the shockwaves and so did Emperoroh.

"Tsk." Kai looked at Ryuoh. "I cannot believe how stupid you are Ryunosuke." Emperoroh held out its hand and the other two gems that were in the case flew to the cockpit. "You've given yourself up to your desperation. I thought you were something else, I thought I could find hope in you! You are my eternal rival . . . the hope to match my despair . . . but you can't even match up to it! You're despicable Ryunosuke, DESPICABLE!" Kai seemed to be crying. "RYUNOSUKE! YOU BASTARD! You were suppose to be my hope . . . now I don't know what to think of you . . . hope . . . that's what you had. That's what intrigued me, someone who knows nothing about hope is gleaming with it. I want to kill you, yet at the same time you shine through. You always had hope, no matter what. You overcame a lot. You are the protector, and I'm the destroyer, but now . . . you've thrown it all away and gave up! You . . . you . . . you! If you survive this, then next time you better be different, you better become smarter. The next time I see you . . . I BETTER SEE THE LIGHT OF HOPE!" Emperoroh disappeared in a dark mist.

Raiju grunted. "Kai . . . you traitor." Raiju said. "So that's why you call him your eternal rival huh?" Raiju chuckled maniacally. "Looks like I'll have to punish you, you ungrateful little brat."

"Do you want me to help?" The woman asked seductively.

"Nah, I'll let one of my dopplegangers do it." Raiju said with a smirk.

- -

Kai, now with his mask and armor off, entered his Kage Hall, but then a Raiju doppleganger ambushed Kai. Raiju started throwing Kai all over, cutting Kai with a projected blade, and threw Kai to a pole, which Kai violently crashed into. Kyoko and Daisan were nowhere to be seen. "You little traitor." Raiju said. "So Kodenred is still alive because of your belief in hope in him."

"So you heard." Kai said getting up. "No, he's still alive because his hope is keeping him alive."

"But your belief in his hope is getting in the ways of our goals!"

"SHUT UP!" Kai shouted. "I will still gather despair from him, yet, no matter how much despair I gather from him, his hope still shines through. I will kill him, but until then, his ability to create miracles when despair is only present is in the way. He's the reason I want to become stronger, I want to become stronger to gather his despair when his hope fails, but until then, I'll enjoy the seeing the hope that he has."

"Too bad it's gone right now." Raiju said. "And I doubt he'll ever get it back."

Then Kai disappeared and reappeared behind Raiju. "He'll get it back." Then Kai stabbed Raiju from behind with a hand chop. The chop stabbed through Raiju's back right through the chest.

The Raiju doppleganger started laughing maniacally. "You're interesting Orochi, very interesting, VERY INTERESTING!" The doppleganger dissolved into nothingness.

Kai breathed in and sigh. "Zetsubou, Zetsubou, ZETSUBOU!" He screamed. All the despair welled up in him started to seep out of his body and created a large aura around him. He started crying. "Zetsubou, Zetsubou, Zetsubou." He got on his knees, his tears streaming down his face. "Despair . . . I will bring despair to this world!" He stopped tearing and looked up with a look of maniacal determination. "Ryunosuke . . . your hope . . . I will tear it apart and replace it with the greatest despair!"

- -

Howling Ryuoh was frozen, as if Kai's words on how Ryu had hope actually reached Ryu's ears. Kodentenma galloped up to Howling Ryuoh.

"RYU!" Lee shouted. "How could you be so aggressive!?" For once, Lee was scolding someone. "I know you want to defeat Kai as soon as possible but attacking one of our allies is really low for you."

Howling Ryuoh turned and looked at Kodentenma. Then Howling Ryuoh kicked Kodentenma away. "YEAAARGH!" Ryu shrieked violently. Kodentenma crashed and rolled violently on the ground.

"WHAT THE!?" Lee shouted. Ryu wasn't done. Ryu still wanted to rip everything to shreds. The savages command it.

Howling Ryuoh jumped and pinned the Pegasus to the ground. Then Howling Ryuoh started clawing Kodentenma. "WARGH! YAH! YAR YAH!" Howling Ryuoh kept striking violently.

"RYU STOP IT!" Rai shouted and Kodenshishi, now back on its feet, jumped and bit onto Ryuoh's right shoulder. Howling Ryuoh looked at Kodenshishi. Then Howling Ryuoh looked at Kodenshishi, then violently grabbed Kodenshishi with its left hand. Then Howling Ryuoh grabbed the back of Kodenshishi and used Kodenshishi's tail blade to cut Kodentenma.

"WAH AHH YARGH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ryu shrieked violently. Lee was feeling all sorts of pain from the random stabs and slashes. Then Howling Ryuoh threw Kodenshishi on Kodentenma and stomp the two. Then Howling Ryuoh grabbed Kodentenma's head and the Ryuoh head chest bit onto Kodentenma. Kodentenma neighed in pain. Then Howling Ryuoh kneed Kodenshishi while Kodenshishi was down.

"RYU-SAN!" Karen cried out. "STOP IT!" Kodenkirin ran up to Howling Ryuoh and tried to ram it to stop.

"RYU!" Ryn shouted. Kodenhouou flew and wrapped its wings behind Ryuoh, trying to stop Howling Ryuoh. "STOP THIS! You're hurting your friends!"

"RYU-KUN!" Miku screamed. Kodenhawk flew up to Ryuoh and tried holding Ryuoh down with its wings. "You're our leader, please stop!"

"WARGH!" Ryu shrieked.

"Then I have no choice." Miku said softly. She called out to Ryuoh. This is her secret power, the ability to control all (if not, most) Kodenjyus. However, she could not get a response from Ryuoh. "What is this? I can't . . . I can't call out to Ryuoh right now."

"STOP THIS YOU BRAT!" Kousuke shouted and Kodeneagle flew over and tried stopping Ryuoh. "What the hell is wrong with you!? STOP THIS ALREADY! The battle's over! STOP IT!"

Kodenshishi and Kodentenma got up and tried stopping Ryuoh. "RYU!" Lee shouted.

"RYU!" Rai shouted. "STOP THIS NONSENSE!" The six Kodenjyus tried holding Howling Ryuoh down.

"WARGH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! GAH! YAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ryu shrieked violently. "KILL! KILL! KILL!" He growled loudly. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Howling Ryuoh flailed around and pushed all the Kodenjyus away. He started clawing all of the other Kodenjyus. If only Kodentiger was up, then there would be one more Kodenjyu against Howling Ryuoh and maybe Bursttohja or Elementaltohja could stop Howling Ryuoh, but unfortunately Kodentiger is injured and down for the count in this battle.

Ojii-chan started to cry. "My grandson . . . has succumbed to Darkness." He got on his knees and started praying. "Is there no one who can stop him?"

The Kodenrangers save for Ryu screamed. Howling Ryuoh was not stopping anytime soon.

Raiju laughed maniacally. "YES!" He shouted. "ZETSUBOU!" Raiju started absorbing a dark aura around him. "YES! BRING ME THE DESPAIR OF YOUR FRIENDS!" Raiju chuckled maniacally. "JUST LIKE REKKA! You'll be the bringer of doom, you'll bring death to this world, you'll end this wretched world, and destroy it!" Raiju laughed maniacally. "YES! The hero meant to save it, WILL DESTROY IT!"

(Ending: If We Met In a Dream from Kamen Rider Den O plays. Ryu is sitting down in a large corridor, and looks depressed. Ryuuji on another side is standing up and looking depressed as well as if something is missing. The two start running to find what is missing. As they run, they find many stairways and doors to check. Ryu and Ryuuji keep checking each door. Running through if it's the wrong one. Ryu stops and starts crying since he can't find what he wants, but he continues on. Ryuuji eventually stops in front of an opened room. The room was flashing white. Only Ryuuji can see what is on the other side. Ryu stops in front of the same room from the other side, and Ryu looks. Ryu smiles, and Ryuuji runs towards the room. Ryu runs in too. As the two enter, Ryuuji grows up, and Ryu shrinks down to a kid, and the two run to each other and embrace. Father and son, finally reunited. However, Ryu wakes up, and finds it only a dream. Tears stream down Ryu's face, as he will never meet his dad in such a way.)

SPECIAL SEGMENT! FIGHTER'S ANSWERS!

"Hello!" Ryuuji says. "This is our segment, where secrets will be revealed!" Takeshi, Tak-san, and Shinji were with him. They were at the pier. "And to start it off, Tak-san's identity!"

"Yeah everyone should know it already." Takumi said.

Shinji lifted Tak-san's sunglasses and hat. "It's Takeshi-sensei." Shinji said.

"WHAT THE HELL!" Takeshi shouted. "I can't believe my identity was revealed in such an anti-climatic way!" He started crying.

"Oh suck it up, everyone knew already." Ryuuji said. "And if you did not know, go back and look for all the context clues."

"Anyway, we can't go to vacation because we have to stay and protect the city." Takumi said.

There was a long silence.

"SCREW YOU!" Ryuuji shouted. Takumi, Takeshi, and Shinji looked at the water. Ryuuji's Kodenjyu, which looked a lot like a samurai version of Ryuoh in dragon form, was swimming away and Kodenfire was sitting on this Kodenjyu's head. "I'm going on Vacation!"

"EH!?" Takumi shouted. "I guess it's just the three of us." Takumi said, then noticed that only Shinji was with him.

"Screw you." Takeshi said. "Me and my anti-climatic identity revealing is going to ditch you and go to vacation." Kodengeneral is seen standing on top of a violet fin, which belonged to Kodenshark.

"Eh Shinji, you're going to stay right?" Takumi asked.

"I'm going to do what they call a 'screw you' and go on vacation." Shinji dived into the water, swam a bit, then a magic whirlpool sucked him in, taking him to the island.

"EH!?" Takumi shouted. "So it's just me!?" He sat down. "I'll wait till a Kagejyu attacks." Time passed, three hours, four, five. Then . . . "AHH SCREW MYSELF!" He transformed. Then jumped on top of Kodenrhino. "GO!" Kodenrhino started stomping in the waters. "Oh wait . . . I FORGOT! My Kodenjyu can't swim!" Kodenknight and Kodenrhino sank. Don't worry, he'll survive.

Next time!

"Dairyuoh, SUIZAN!"

The only one who can stop Ryu now is Ryuuji. An unknown father must now take down his son if Ryu is to be stopped. And then, once the savage drama is over, comes the drama of the beach! BUT WAIT! A new Kraken Kagejyu is causing trouble! And worse, Kai's Hebioh appears again, along with two other Kage Kodenjyus. Can the Kodenrangers survive?

Repel the Darkness, Live the Legend.

Destroy Hope, Destroy Despair.
