Disclaimers: This is a crossover between different Super Sentai series. I don't own Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, Tensō Sentai Goseiger, and Engine Sentai Go-Onger. All three Super Sentai series are owned by Tōei Kabushiki-gaisha, the Tōei company. Samurai Sentai Shinkenger premiered on February 15, 2009. Tensō Sentai Goseiger premiered on February 14, 2010, one year after Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. Engine Sentai Go-Onger premiered on February 17, 2008, one year before Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. If I did own them, the series would have TakeruXMako and AlataXKotoha in them with wedding and all! =D
"Gunpei," said Miu who was shaking the man, "Pull yourself together and tell us what happened!"
"Miu," said Renn who tried to stop Miu, "I-I don't think that's going to work."
It was a shock to everyone that Gunpei was the one who was screaming before handing face first into the dirt of the Samurai World. Besides the Nagare Enjin, Alata, and Kotoha, the other six knew that Gunpei was with five other boys that were confronting Batchīdo. Miu was the one who was shaking Gunpei because one of those boys was her older brother, Hiroto. Kotoha looked worried as well because her older brother, Sōsuke, may have been sent to another dimension like Alata and her. Alata, who was unconsciously in-tuned to Kotoha's emotions, placed a hand over one of Kotoha's shoulders for comfort. He didn't know what was going on, but hopefully, SOMEONE would explain to them. "Ēto (Um)," said Alata, "Can someone please explain what is going on?"
"Gomen," said Mako, "When you and Kotoha disappeared into the dimensional portal made by Batchīdo, the Nagare Enjin, who found you, sent a message to the Go-Ongers that you were found."
"We also had to split up because Batchīdo appeared once more to try to pollute the waters near a pier," explained Saki.
"So, six of us came here to get Kotoha and you back to the Human World while the other six try to stop Batchīdo," said Mako.
"However," said a worried Saki, "It seems as though something happened because Gunpei is here."
"Nīsan is," started a worried Kotoha.
"I don't know," said Saki, "Gunpei has the answers now."
Kotoha bit her lower lip in worry as she thought about her older brother. She knew that Sōsuke drove her crazy, but she still loves her older brother. Though, both Kotoha and Alata looked at each other in wonder. They thought that having six people come get TWO people was very excessive. Wouldn't it have been better if all of the forces focused on Batchīdo while probably one or two people come and get Alata and Kotoha? Alata was the one who voiced this out to the group, making the group stop and think about it. Genta was the one who groaned as he thought about it. "Alata is right," bemoaned Genta, "Why didn't we just get one of us to get Alata and Kotoha while everyone else focuses on Batchīdo?"
"Gomen, Kotoha," said Takeru, "Demo, I have to blame your onīsan's antics working against my better judgment."
"Sōsuke DOES have that effect on people," said a sheepish Renn, "Especially when he becomes dramatic."
"And," said a now awaken Gunpei, "Especially when we were trying to stop him from coming here himself to punch Alata."
"Eh," questioned Alata in surprise, "Dōshite (Why)?!"
When Alata questioned why Sōsuke would punch Alata, everyone, besides Kotoha, turned and just STARED at Alata. They all thought if Alata was actually serious about that question. They, however, saw that YES, Alata was serious about why Sōsuke would punch him. They turned to Kotoha to ask with their eyes if Alata was serious about that question. They, however, saw that Kotoha had a tint of red on her cheeks while she sighed a bit at Alata's obliviousness. Though, they don't know that Alata is really a tenshi (angel) and that Kotoha is hiding her feelings for Alata due to this new development. Alata shifted when eyes went back to him as he thought if he said something wrong. "Ano… did I do something wrong," questioned Alata.
"Are you for real," shouted a gaping Gunpei.
"Eh," questioned Alata.
"You have a beautiful girl right next to you and…," started Gunpei before Saki slapped her hand over his mouth.
"Don't think about what Gunpei just said, Alata-san," said Miu hurriedly.
"A-Alright," said a weirded out Alata.
"Now, Gunpei," said Saki sweetly, "I am going to let go of my hand, and the only thing coming out of that mouth of yours will be what happened while we were here. Okay?"
Everyone looked at Saki in surprise, but they couldn't fault her. It was better to know WHAT happened instead of questioning Alata's obliviousness to his feelings and the feelings of one of his best friends. All eyes were on Gunpei as he inwardly gulped before nodding his head in agreement. It wasn't the time for wondering where Alata lived to NOT know about this love feeling he obviously has for Kotoha. Saki saw the nod as her hand went up and down with Gunpei's head. Smiling sweetly one more time, Saki pulled her hand away from Gunpei's mouth and waited for Gunpei to start talking. "We arrived at the pier, with the reluctance of Sōsuke," said Gunpei, "And saw Batchīdo surrounded with a bunch of Ugattsu."
"Ugattsu," questioned Mako.
"The robot foot soldiers," said Renn.
"THAT'S what they are called," questioned Genta.
"We… We've never told you," questioned Miu.
"Īe," said Takeru, "Demo, that is not the case right now. turns to Gunpei Continue, please."
With that, Gunpei continued to describe what happened. Sōsuke and Chiaki were arguing along the way towards the pier before Gunpei smacked their heads for arguing in front of the enemy. It was there that Sōsuke was the one who told the others to take care of the Ugattsu as he raced towards Batchīdo. Chiaki was still sore about following someone that wasn't Takeru, but he knew that the others needed help in defeating the Ugattsu. Once the Ugattsu were defeated, Gunpei described how Sōsuke took his anger and frustrations out on Batchīdo. The others came over to him after Batchīdo flew back and onto the ground. They thought they had won, but it was premature as Batchīdo sent out his attacks from before. It wasn't until Hiroto, Ryūnosuke, Chiaki, Hanto, and he raced forward and confronted the purple dimensional portal. "Then, we five were pulled into the dimensional rift," said Gunpei, "Yet, before I was pulled in, Sōsuke was thrown into the pier's waters."
"So, he is still in the Human World," said Kotoha in relief.
"Do you know where the others are," questioned Mako.
"Īe," said Gunpei with a sad sigh.
"So, now we need to rescue the rest," said a pondering Renn.
"Then, let's go," said Saki.
Before they could respond, it was actually Alata who stopped them all. He, apparently, remembered that it would be best if most, if not all, went back to the Human World so that they would not have Sōsuke being alone. He also remembered that his own nakama were probably worried about him for disappearing like he did. The others looked at Alata in contemplation. They remembered that HE was also a red warrior, meaning he was probably the leader of his own group of warriors like Takeru was with the Shinkengers and Sōsuke was with the Go-Ongers. They inwardly cursed for also not remembering to question Alata on HOW he could become the red warrior as well. "Why did you stop us," questioned an irritated Miu.
"I… know that your nakama is scattered," said Alata with a thoughtful look, "But, do we really need ALL of us to find them?"
"Alata-kun is right," piped up Kotoha with a pondering look, "Just look at what happened when you all split up the first time. I think we need a smaller group to find the others while we go back to the Human World and stop nīchan for doing something stupid."
"Sōsuke… WOULD do something stupid if he's not watched for," said Gunpei.
"Then," said Retsutaka, "Let us Nagare Enjin help in finding your nakama."
"That would be appreciated," said Renn with a smile.
"Renn," questioned Genta, "Your partner, Bus-On, hold onto more than one person?"
"I… believe so," said Renn, "Since he IS a bus and all."
"Might I suggest you come back to the Human World since you can hold more people," said Genta who looked at the huge group, "Considering our group size."
"That would be best," said Renn with a sweat-drop.
Alata and Kotoha, after suggesting that most of them go back to the Human World, wore a lost look. Yet, it wasn't their fault because they were never introduced to the Go-Ongers' engine partners. The both, however, gained a realization that Renn had something that could transport them all back to the Human World. It wasn't long that it was decided that Saki and Miu would stay with the Nagare Enjin to find their nakama while the others went back to the Human World to stop whatever hair-brained scheme Sōsuke cooked up when they were gone. Alata and Kotoha still stopped before boarding Renn's engine partner to bow to the Nagare Enjin. "Arigatō for taking care of us," said the both together.
"No need to thank us," said Shishinoshin.
"Also," said Tsukinowa with a smirk and a handful of something, "Here you go!"
"What are these," asked Kotoha.
"Photos of Alata and you together," said Tsukinowa, "There's two of everything. So, one is for you. points to Kotoha, then points to Alata And one is for you. Treasure them."
Kotoha turned bright red as Alata grabbed the photos from Tsukinowa. Both did, however, thanked Tsukinowa before rushing into Renn's engine partner. Alata, though, didn't know why he wanted to blush as well, but at least, he will not forget the days he was hanging out with Kotoha.
- Back At The Human World –
"Failure," murmured Sōsuke, "I couldn't save imōto. I couldn't save the guys either."
After swimming to shore, Sōsuke felt helpless. He just lost his and his little sister's nakama to the dimensional rift from Batchīdo. He sluggishly walked towards the Shiba Household, but that was where more bad news was given to him. Apparently, Batchīdo found the Shinkengers' Jī and the Go-Ongers' faithful friend, Bonpā at the pier and kidnapped them, leaving nothing but a note for him to surrender to him or else something bad would happen to the two kidnappees. Sōsuke groaned as he fell to the floor in defeat and murmured the one word over and over again: failure. He didn't even hear a ruckus when people started to come into the room. "Sōsuke," exclaimed a familiar male voice.
"Is he alright," asked a worried male voice.
"I think so," questioned another male voice.
"Sōsuke," shouted another male voice, "Pull yourself together!"
That yelling male voice was also the one who grabbed Sōsuke and started to shake him. The other occupants who came into the household stared at the male who was shaking Sōsuke so fiercely. It reminded them of one of their own doing the same thing to the shouting male. When Sōsuke was thoroughly shook, Sōsuke then slapped the person's face to let him go. The slap came out of nowhere and prompted Sōsuke to have his face planted onto the Shiba Household floors when the male in question let him go. Sōsuke blinked before he stared upward to see… "IMŌTO," exclaimed Sōsuke who promptly glomped Kotoha.
"He's fine," said Takeru as he sat in his Tono seat.
"Gomen nasai (I am very sorry) for not saving you," cried out Sōsuke, "I'm also sorry for not protecting your nakama, especially the person you called Jī!"
"EH," exclaimed the occupants in the room.
"What do you mean about not protecting Jī," asked Genta with a serious face on.
Sōsuke was still dramatically sobbing on Kotoha that the others ALMOST didn't see the deserted paper on the floor. Mako was quick to pick it up and show it to Takeru. Takeru, upon grabbing the paper and reading the contents, paled when he saw the significance of the paper. He then passed the paper to the others in the room before promptly sitting down, one hand turning into a fist. Genta and Mako winced at that fist, yet the both hid their anger at Batchīdo for kidnapping their Jī. The paper was finally in the hands of Alata who quickly read the contents and frowned. He then looked at those in the room and made a decision to help them. "Daijōbu (It'll be fine)," said Alata, "I'm sure that all of us working together, we can save these two important people to you."
"Alata," said Kotoha with admiration on his determination.
"I will be happy to work with you," said Takeru, "However, you will need to tell us your story once Batchīdo is finished."
"I, ah, kind of figured that you all knew my identity," said Alata with a sheepish look.
"And there he goes, being all innocent again," sighed Gunpei.
As the others started to talk with one another on what to do, Sōsuke was the only one not paying attention. He was glad that his little sister was safe, but his eyes were steadily focused on Alata. Clenching his hand into a fist, Sōsuke walked up to Alata, which made the room quiet. Kotoha really hoped that her older brother didn't do anything rash, but as always, Sōsuke proved her wrong when he got in front of Alata. Alata, on his part, looked at Sōsuke with a questioning look before he was knocked down by a punch. "Itai," exclaimed Alata.
"I am thankful that you protected my imōto," said Sōsuke before glaring at Alata and asking, "But, WHO gave you permission to DATE my imōto in the Samurai World?! Huh, punk?!"
"Onīsan," sighed Kotoha with Mako patting her shoulders in comfort.
"Eh," exclaimed Alata with confusion, "Dating?!"
AN: I just HAD to end this chapter like that!（⌒▽⌒）Poor Alata though. He's totally confused on why Sōsuke would punch him. He doesn't even know that it looks like he and Kotoha were on a date in the Samurai World. (^ц^ ) Ah, oblivious Alata. I bet the other Goseigers are going to help Alata realize that he fell in love with Kotoha while Sōsuke will still try hard to keep them apart. (´∀｀；) Whelp, happy reading and see ya next chapter! |∀･)ジ
