Epic 34: The Strongest Fighting Machine (base 37)

"Sugo! Lord Damarz Gil must be getting desperate," Sugokai Red notes as Dark Gokai Oh slashed into the group of giant Sugormin.

"Desperate or not until he is defeated the True Emperor and her Highness will never be safe," New Gokai Pink notes as Violet Gokai Oh divers it's own power attack.

The Sugormin open fire, as New Pink maneuvers their ship to take the brunt of the attack, sparks flying as Violet Oh drops to one knee, Dark Gokai Oh swinging around the prone giant robot to deliver a Gokai Star Burst attack to clear some of the forces but the numbers just won't go down fast enough.

"Sugo! It's no use," Sugokai Green frets, "Without the Greater Powers we just don't have the firepower we need, Sugo!"

"Damn you Basco," New Violet growls as he clenches his fists in irritation.

"Huh?" Navi awoke with a start as a sudden burst of smoke appeared on the Galleon's bridge. As the smoke cleared Lauren dropped to her knee, worn from the pan dimensional crossing. Thankfully Gai, Luka, Joe, and Ahim looked to be in much better shape.

"Everyone! You're back!"

"Navi!" Luka smiled as she looked around, "Then this is the Galleon...we're home?"

"I'm taking miss Lauren to Miss Nicole's room to rest."

"No need," Lauren protested as as Ahim was walking her off, "I'll be fine."

"How goes everything?" Gai wonders looking around confused, "Where's Sally?"

Navi's voice got softer, lower, "B-Basco broken in...he...stole the greater powers...and...Sally is...gone..."

"Gone?"

"She fought hard! We both did! But he said he only needed me...then he...knocked her off the deck..."

"Nani?!" Joe's voice a mix of disgust and anger, "He killed Sally?"

Navi remains silent, the air in the Galleon getting heavier as Ahim makes her way back to the bridge, her face innocent and confused.

"Abandon ship! Abandon ship!" New Pink shouted as Violet Oh start to spark violently.

"Gokai Star Burst!"

The sudden arrival of the true Gokai Oh and GouJyuJin turned the tides as the Sugormin were routed and destroyed, but Violet Oh was done for as it collapsed.

"Get over here already!" Gokai Blue shouted to the exploding Violet.

New Pink pausing, unbelieving, "They're back?"

"We must hurry!" Violet quick to take Pink's arm as they evacuated to Gokai Oh just as it exploded.

"Oh! Oh! OOOOOH!" Damarz Gil howled as he stopped around the bridge, a dangerous thing to be doing when the child Emperor shared the body of The Most Powerful Man in the Universe, "Why must the pirates interfere every single damn time?!" His ranting taking him to the navigation seat where he hammers a fist into a Gormin's head. "In my life, I've had everything I wanted just by asking for it too!"

Instantly killing it.

"Your Highness," His voice and demeanor shifting noticeably as Damaras took command, "You must control yourself. This is no time for such outbursts. Let's start working on our next plan."

"Silence!" Warz took over again, "Are you trying to give me orders?!"

"I only meant..."

Barizorg interrupts them as his gaze is drawn to the monitor, while a pair of Gormin guards drag the now dead navigator out of his chair and off the bridge, "hum?" Then turns back to his boss, "Boss. A ship from the Emperor's Elite Guard is approaching."

"Father's Elite Guards?!" Damarz say confused, "What's the meaning of this?!"

"Thank you Kaizoku Sentai for saving us," New Pink opens, "We will be off your ship as soon as a new Violet Hope can be actualized."

"What's the rush," Luka smirked, "Insarn-san?"

"N-Nani?" New Pink stammered.

"Violet told us everything in the universe we were thrown," Joe says plainly as he looks over to New Violet, "Looks like his guess was even right about you having Another Violet."

"Yeah," Luka punches Violet's arm playfully, "And we were just getting use to your better half!"

The New Gokaigers share a look before powering down to Insarn and a violet colored Newtype Sugormin.

"Sorry!" Insarn immediately drops to her knees and bows low, "I hope you can forgive me for aiding the Emperor all this time, even after I created Violet. But I needed t-"

Gai danced around wrapping an arm around the former Action Commander as he pulled her to her feet, "It's ok, you were working undercover, all too better protect the Earth."

She nods, "I needed to make things safer for Her Highness and the True Heir."

"So who was piloting Dark Gokai Oh?" Gai wonders curiously.

"Oh...that," She smiles sheepishly, "The Sugokaigers...after I reprogrammed them of course."

"NANI?!"

A pair of new, red, and quite differently designed Sugormin meet Damarz Gil in the hanger of the Gigante Horse. "Well, well. I hope you're in good spirits, Your Highness Dog-Damaras? Where is His Highness?"

"You are looking at him, I have borrowed Damaras body. But the question is why are the Elite Guard Dogormin here?"

"Do-Dogou?" one stutters, "Borrowed his BODY?"

"Yes, now spit it out!"

"Dogou! At His Majesty's request, we brought Zangyack's final weapon Great Waruzu. Your Highness, please use Great Waruzu to eliminate the pirates. Hurry and take over the Earth dogou!"

"I can't believe he sent me this. Father...you have my gratitude."

"Indeed, if Zangyack's ultimate weapon, Great Waruzu, is used..." Damaras takes over to speak, "...then anyone could take over the Earth."

"Damaras!" Warz hisses, "What do you mean by anyone?!"

"No..I did not mean it like that..."

"Whatever." Warz huffs as he turns back to look at Great Waruzu, "At any rate, with this, my victory is assured!"

"Zangyack is attacking the barrier," Gokai Orange shouted into his Mobirate, "It's about to breach!"

"Hold them off, I will be there shortly, no harm must come to the True Heir!" Bronze sounded back into his as he ran for the entrance.

Outside a team of Newtypes were laying siege to the energy barrier around the hospital, the force field flickering under the barrage as Orange readied his Gokai Saber and Gokai Gun.

"Final Wave!"

The barrier fell just as Bronze arrived on the scene and the Newtypes were met with the force of Gokai Orange's Gokai Scramble.

"You can try all you like," Bronze charged in, sword slashing, "But you will never land a hand on the True Heir!"

"Sugo!"

Lauren was still feeling drained as she came to the main room of the Gokai Galleon where everyone were sitting quietly, each doing their own thing, Insarn and Violet working on some kind of new mold, as Lauren made her way over it looked about the shape of a Ranger Key.

"What is..."

"Who?" Insarn turns suddenly, drawing her Gokai Gun.

Lauren knocking it out of her hand with little effort, even in her weakened state.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Gai runs over as he puts himself between the two girls, "Calm down. We're all friends here right?" His smile wide and beaming. "Lauren Shiba. Insarn. Insarn. Lauren Shiba."

"S-Shiba?" Insarn tenses, 'I-Is she related to the Skinkengers?'

"Look I just wanted to know who the new girl is, that's all."

"I'm Uchuu Teikoku Sentai's Tenth member, Gokai Pink," Then she stands, and bows low, "I hope you can forgive me for everything I did in my past life to you and your fellow Shinkengers."

"Shinken?" Lauren says confused, "W-What are your talking about?"

Insarn rises confused, "S-Shiba...aren't you a member of the Shinkengers?"

"Lauren-san," Luka laughs punching her arm playfully, "Is a member of the Powerful Sentai Samuraigers. She's from the world Nicole-san dropped us into."

"Oh..." Insarn flusters, "That's right you mentioned that...my apologies."

"Wait...what did you do in your past life?" Lauren asks suspiciously.

"Does it matter!" Gai inserts himself, "She's changed, she's a Gokaiger now! While we were gone she defended Earth fro-"

"I was a member of Zangyack," Insarn voice soft and humble, "I kidnapped several previous Sentai teams to forcefully extract their greater powers and turned Her Highness Nicole-sama and the rest of the Gokaigers into mindless drones."

Lauren was seeing red, "You did what!?"

"I understand your anger, and it's justified, I am just trying to make amends now."

Lauren relaxes slightly, "Well...I suppose I can't be too angry...after all this isn't my world, I don't understand the context," her eyes narrowing, "But I still don't trust you."

Insarn bowed her head low, her voice low and soft, "I'm not deserving of your trust."

"Listen up!" Damarz howls from the bridge, "Now that we have Great Waruzu, the pirates are less than bugs to us! We will eliminate them!"

"Then who should we deploy?" Damarz took control to say.

"It should be obvious," Warz cut in as he moves back to his throne, taking out a familiar green gun from under it, "I will go by myself, as myself!" Before firing it at himself.

Damaras dropped to one knee he separated from Warz, both looking drained from the process, "Your Highness, please wait a moment. It is true that Great Waruzu is the ultimate weapon, but...Even with that the scripts say it is destroyed."

"That was then, even if there are 4 of them, they don't have the power they need to access Kazen Gokai Oh. Don't underestimate me, Damaras! You probably think I'm just a useless, idiot son."

"No such thing!"

"What a transparent lie. Did you think I was completely oblivious?"

'Damaras. The second fleet for conquering Earth...will have Warz Gil as the commander.'

'His Highness?' Memory Damaras looks up from his bow in shock, 'But that's to heavy a burden for him!'

"You did not know it at the time I was listening just outside the room."

'Even though the invasion failed once before,' the memory of the Emperor notes, "...this Super Sentai thing protecting the Earth is gone now. And Damaras...you will be Warz Gil's adviser.'

'Me?'

'If you're there, it should be easy to take over the Earth. Correct?'

'Yes, as you command, your Majesty.'

"I've put up with your act up till now..." Warz clenches his fist angrily, "But now that I have Great Waruzu, I don't have to put up with it anymore! Just watch in silence!"

"Your Highness, please reconsider!" Damaras pleads as Warz storms out, Barizorg taking pace behind him.

Barizorg catch up to War as he stares out at Great Waruzu in the hanger.

"Father..." Warz whispers as he stares up at the giant robot before noting his lieutenant's approach, "Barizorg. Ever since I was a child, I've been surrounded by Father's statesmen. But they all probably thought I was an idiot son who bore no resemblance to Father. I am alone...if you are not here."

"Boss."

"I want to show Damaras and Father's statesmen! You'll follow me, right?"

"I am Warz Gil-sama's loyal follower. I will follow any order." Barizorg bows.

Warz nods before turning back to his giant robot gazing, "I will use Great Waruzu to eliminate those damn pirates! Barizorg! Find their ship!"

"Yes, Boss."

"Zangyack is attacking Nicole-san's hospital again!" Gai shouts from the controls of the Gokai Galleon, "And it looks like Orange and Bronze could use a hand!"

"We're on our way!" Insarn and Violet say together.

"Wait? A Hospital?" Lauren gasps, "What kind of monsters are these Zangyack...I'm coming too."

"Everyone!" Ahim calls from a port window just before the Galleon shakes, "We are being shot at."

"Mou!" Luka growls, "Ok We'll take the ground forces, Lauren, Insarn, Violet. Do your thing."

"You sure?"

Luka smirks.

"What's this?" A young woman looks up from her tea with surprise as the Lion Origami unfolds and starts to pounce around, running for the door, the young woman following after, a trail of men in black cloths following her as well as another in traditional samurai garb, "Princess wait up!"

"Tanba!" she huffs annoyed.

"So your here? Pirates." Barizorg says calmly as he stares down Joe, Gai, Luka, and Ahim.

"That's...Joe-san's former sempai." Ahim voice soft and concerened.

"Barizorg." Luka's was firmer.

"I'll take Barizorg," Joe almost growls. "Do you guys mind taking the others?"

"You don't even have to ask," Gai leads taking out his Gokai Cellular.

"Gokai Change!"

"Gooooookaiger!"

"Gokai Blue!"

"Gokai Yellow!"

"Gokai Pink!"

"Gooooookai Rose!"

"Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!"

"Let's do this enthusiastically!"

"Joe-san!" Pink calls as she tosses her saber to him and Rose leads the charge.

As the others fight the Gormin and Newtypes Joe confronts Barizorg the battle quickly moving into an abandoned warehouse. Barizorg pressing his early advantage as Joe parries his sword getting tossed around like a rookie as Barizorg continues to press him further and further back then lunges forcing Blue to his knees with his next strike.

"Sid-sempai..." Blue grunts as he crosses his sabers over Barizorg's as he pushes to his feet, "I wanted to restore your memory..." then breaks out of his dangerous position and getting some distance, "But it that's not possible..." turning back to face Barizorg confidently, "Then I have nothing to say to you."

Barizorg is less then impressed.

"These swords...are my...words!" and charges back in, this time Blue on the offensive.

"Who are you planning to talk to using swords?" Barizorg blocks both with his one. "Sorry, but my sword has no words for you." He swings hard, Joe feints back as their swords once more meet, "All it has is loyalty towards Warz Gil-sama." before going back on the offensive and knocking Joe onto his rear. But he recovers quickly getting back on the defensive.

"Ah moe!" Yellow sighs as more Gormin charged onto the scene, "Is there no end to them?"

Drawing out the Gokai Galleon Buster Pink and Rose gathered around her.

"Ranger Key! Set!"

"Yeeeeellow Charge!"

"Gokai Galleon Buster!"

"Riiiiiising Striiiiike!"

The blast took out the Gormin but with the others to brace them they were all thrown back by the kick which gave the Dogormin the opening they needed to charge and slash the trio deep with several deep slashes before falling back to unleash their combination attack.

"Dogou!"

The trio dropping to the ground as they demorphed.

"Who are these guys?!" Gai groaned.

"They are so powerful!" Ahim grunted.

"They look like Sugormin..." Gai noted. "But they're on a completely different level!"

"We are the emperor's Elite Guard. We Dogormin are much stronger than a mere Action Commander Dogou."

"Didn't your teacher ever tell you not to judge people by their appearance dogou?"

"Looks like this is it old friend," Gokai Bronze held his shoulder as he struggled to stand, Orange wasn't in much better shape as they stared down a battalion of Newtypes, Sugormin, and Gormin.

Orange tried to rise his Gokai Gun but his hands were took weak and it fell from his trembling fingers along with the key he was about to slot, "Maybe, but I'm not about to go out without a fight! Not with the True Heir counting on us."

Orange clenched his fists trying to stand but his body refused to respond. And the Zangyack forces prepared to fire.

"Looks like this is it," Orange growled as he dropped to the ground and shut his eyes as he awaited the end.

The sound of gunfire signaled the end.

Of the Zangyack forces, for when Orange looked up again the Zangyack forces were fending off and attack from Insarn, Violet (in Ranger form of course), and a strange woman in a training gi.

"Don't worry," the woman smiled as she offered a hand to help Orange up, "The Calvary has arrived!"

"W-Who...are you?" Bronze wondered as Insarn, Violet, and Lauren gathered around them and he struggled back to his feet.

Insarn smirked as she took out her Mobirate and Lauren a shudophone.

"Gokai Change!"

"GO! GO! Samurai!"

"Gooooooookaiger!"

"For the True Empire!" Violet called out as he posed, "Gokai Violet!"

The others followed in fashion.

"Gokai Pink!"

"Gokai Bronze!"

"Gokai Orange!"

"Samurai Ranger...Ready!"

"Uchuu Teikoku Sentai Gokaiger!"

"Rangers Together Samurai Forever! Power Rangers Samurai!"

"Let's end this!" Violet growls as he takes out his Gokai gun and slot his key.

"Agreed!"

"Final Wave!"

"Fire Smasher!"

"Sorry!" Luka smirked as she forced herself to her feet wit ha smirk, "I never went to school."

Ahim was next giving a regal bow as she stood, "I'm afraid pirates aren't that straightforward."

Battered and beaten the thee Gokaigers were not about to back down as they got ready to fight again, drawing their Mobirates.

"Dogou!" But the Elite Guard were not having it as they launched their combination attack once more, the Gokaigers starting down the rapidly approaching attack with horror.

"Final Wave!"

Only for a massive Gokai Scramble to meet the attack and cancel it out.

"Dogou?"

The Sugokaigers had arrived.

"Sugo! You three get to safety, recover. We will defeat these guys!"

"Sugokaigers?" Gai says confused, then smiles widely, "Insarn-san wasn't kidding!"

"Sugo! GO!"

The trio nodded as they rand for cover to regain their strength, and to watch the fight.

"Sugo! These ones will be tough," Sugokai Green notes, "Let's go with that!"

"That? Sugo? Oh THAT!" Sugokai Yellow notes as they summon out a set of dark keys.

"Gokai Change!"

"DeeeeeekaRanger!" called the Mobirate as Sugokai Pink became Black DekaSwan.

"Caaaaaarranger!" and Green became Dark Signalman.

"Maaaagiranger!" and red became Wolzard.

"Ohhhhranger!" and blue became a dark Oh King.

"Boooooukenger!" and lastly yellow who became Dark Zuban.

"What is that?!"

"Call it a curve ball," Yellow taunted, "Aren't they cute?" before going into Zuban's trademarked double fist pump and calling of, "Zunzun!"

"Zunzun?! Are you screwing with us?1 Dogou!" one of the two hissed as he stopped his staff.

"Zunzun!"

"Dogou!"

"Zunzun!" now even green was getting into it, stepping forward to obscure the rest.

Luka chuckled from where they were watching, "Zunzun!" she whispered.

"Dogou!"

Then the other 3 Sugokaigers leap into the air catching the Dogormin off guard with an aerial attack which the other two follow up with on the ground as the fight begins in earnest, yellow still calling 'Zuban!' or 'Zunzun!' as she makes her attacks. But the Dogormin were still out powering them and getting the upper hand.

"Begone!" One called as he threw Signalman back and into Black Swan, and then launched a flame attack from his cannon arm, "Dogou!"

"Not on my watch, Sugo!" Wolzard rushed in to deflect the attack with his shield before charging back in with Swan and Signalman at his back.

"Ah mou!" Luka growled as she slammed her fist into the ground, "If only we could use that power Nicole-san talked about."

"Nani?" Gai asks confused, "What power?"

"Nicole-san once talked of the power of an all girl team back when Don-san was turning into a girl at times. She said that with a full team of girls we'd might have the power of something she called Super Senshi...magical girls."

Gai looked thoughtful a moment, looking down at himself, 'A power only an all girl team can access?' His psyche starting to drift back to that familiar white void.

"Gai-san look!"

But Luka snapped him out of it suddenly as she pulled on his coat and pointed toward the fight where the Sugokaigers were unleashing the special attacks of their new forms.

"Zun! Zun! Zun! Zuu bamamamang!"

"Swan Fantasy!"

"Signal Flash!"

Ending with a double shot from King Ranger and Wolzard which sent the two Dogormin flying, and leaving them on their knees and smoldering.

"You are surprisingly good dogou."

"Temporary retreat for now dogou."

Before the two turned and vanished.

Barizorg was still pushing his advantage against Gokai Blue, pushing him back, forcing him through a metal fence and to climb a car as those obstacles pressed to his back but he soo reversed it pressing his advantage and backing Barizorg against the same car as he pressed his assault. But as Blue made to make a decisive swing Barizorg deflect and knocked the blade from blues hand into some rubble, forcing Blue to continue his attack with one sword. But Barizorg was not about to be stopped as he sent Blue flying over the car and into a hard fall on his side. Barizorg advancing on Blue as he pushed back to his feet.

"You've improved, Gokai Blue," Barizorg comments as they clash swords as he jumps back and drops into a familiar stance, "But, for Warz Gil-sama..I cannot afford to lose here."

"That stance!" Blue hesitated, remembering Sid's teaching long ago, his voice angry, "It's Sid-sempai's technique!"

"Die!"

Blue dropped back into the same stance, their blade glowing as the cross slashes were released, the forces clashing before both fighters were blown back the warehouse exploding around them from the power as the two techniques clashed.

"Joe!"

"Are you alright?"

"Joe-san!"

The Sugokaigers and Gai team arriving at that moment.

"Stay back!" Blue growled as he got back to his feet, "Don't interfere. I will take Barizorg."

A familiar voice laughed as Warz Gil arrived, turning to Barizorg, "Well done, Barizorg."

"That's..."

"The Emperor's idiot son," Blue growls, "Warz Gil."

"This is great!" Gokai Rose cheers, "He has appeared carelessly! Let's quickly finish this!"

"You may talk big, pirates," Warz taunted, "That's right. I am Space Empire Zangyack's commander. Warz Gil-sama! Will you bow down before me? Or do you want to die? Choose!"

"Sorry I never learned lessons such as bowing and stuff," Yellow swaggers, "Is what Marvelous would say if he were here."

"I see." Warz taunts as she turns away, "Then you choose death?" before turning back with an out stretched finger, "Very well! You should be proud to die at my hands. Great Waruzu! Launch!"

"Great Waruzu." A Dogormin says at the controls of the Gigante Horse, "Launch." The ship opening up to launch the giant war machine at the Earth which Warz is quick to board, the Gokaigers hot on his tail.

"What is that?" Gai wonder as he looks up to the giant robot.

"Our destruction, Sugo," Sugokai Red muses.

"This is Zangyack's ultimate weapon," Warz announces from the bridge, "I will use Great Waruzu to obliterate you all!"

Gokai Yellow looking to the Sugokaigers as she takes out her Mobirate, "You just leave this to us."

"Gooookai Galleon!"

"Crossing over time, Time Ranger's grand power appear!"

"Complete! Gokai Oh!"

"Complete! GouJuuJin!"

"Ultimate weapon or not let's just waste it!" Luka announces. "Ranger Key, set!"

"Gokai Star Burst!"

Warz laughed, "I already know his power!" As he deftly spun and dodged out of the way of the attack.

"He's fast!"

"Take this! Waruzu Arrow!"

The attack knocking Gokai Oh off his feet and into a near building.

"Guys!" Gai called in concern.

"That's what you pirates get! Did you think you could beat me?!"

"Use GouJuuGokai Oh!"

"Got it!"

"Don't assume Great Waruzu is like the Action Commanders!" Warz taunted as he charged hi delivering a harsh blow to GouJuuGokai Oh then steps back to hammer then with his arrow attack, laughing, "This is Excellent! This is the power I've sought!"

Great Waruzu charges in again slashing deep into GouJuuGokai Oh before it can recover.

"We are not even making a dent," Pink sighs.

"Unbelievable!" Blue growls as he grips his wheel tighter.

"What will we do about that?" Yellow wonders.

"Let's ram it." Silver suggest. "We can't afford to run!"

Great Waruzu gathered his energy, preparing his next attack, "Waruzu Guilty!"

The attack hitting home and tearing into GouJuuGokai Oh, causing the bridge to spark and explode.

A suddenly attack from behind caught everyone off guard, as a new face appeared on everyone's screen, Gokai Killer!

"Basco?!"

"Tch," Killer scoffed from the bridge of Free Joker Oh, "A weapon like that would just be to big a nuisance to my plans."

But the damage was done, GouJuuGokai Oh cam apart and it's crew scattered to the winds as Free Joker Oh faced down Great Warusu.

"Tch, you know none of this would have every happened if you didn't try and shoot me down when I arrived on earth Warz Gil-chan!"

To be continued...
