"...Man...to think it's all over." a younger Manic said as he, young Sonic and young Sonia along with their mother watched the construction of their castle. "So..what's next?"

"...We reunite Mobius...hunt down Eggman...and join hands with the kingdoms." Aleena said smiling peacefully.

"...it'll feel good to sleep in a bed for once." Sonia said as Sonic patted the van they traveled in, "oh come on Sonic we're gonna keep it."

"By the way…" Manic started looking at a younger Roll, Haseo, and Aphrodite, "You guys wanna live with us?"

"While I'm flattered by the offer, will it be fine with all of you as well?" Aphrodite asked, looking at the other three.

"Well we...kinda destroyed your house in that fight and force you to live in that crampy van..it's our way to make up to you." Sonia blushed at the moment she drove the van into the Sakurai's old house.

"..." Sonic gave a thumbs up while blurring and giving flowers to the trio.

"A-Arigato," Roll thanked before Sonic took it back and then placed it in her hair, "?!"

"Ahh, slick move, bro." Manic teased as Sonic smirked proudly while Roll began to poke her pointer fingers together with a blush and smile on her face.

"...I don't think I...really need to say anything given our history, 'Dite." Aleena noted.

"Then we humbly accept your invitation," Aphrodite giggled.

"Cool, Mom 2! We hereby crown you second queen of new Zyuland and we crown you princess Roll and Prince Haseo. Welcome to the family, little dude." Manic said, grabbing Haseo and letting him ride his shoulders.

"Eh? P...prince?" Haseo blinked in surprise.

"You know...since we're gonna be together forever…not much point in the band being together." Sonia sighed.

"Oh yeah...bummer...we mostly played to find each other...or motivate to fight Eggman." Manic nodded. "...well, nothing last forever."

"..." Sonic looked at his medallion, "...then let's wait till we find another reason to sing before pulling these bad boys out again."

"Yeah good idea….wait, what?" everyone blinked as they looked at sonic.

"?" he looked at them puzzled.

"...Al-kun, is...were those his first words?" Aphrodite whispered to Aleena, both having wide eyes.

"One...don't call me that unless we're alone...Two. Don't call me that in front of the kids...Three. I...think so...He never even cried as a baby. Not one peep."

"It'll be sad not getting to hear you three play, but it's a good idea, Sonikku," Roll smiled.

"Yeah. Besides we got so many plans now. A city to rebuild, hugs and kisses to pass out, people offering their cash to me…" Manic listed.

"Manic Sakurai hedgehog." Aphrodite and Aleena frowned.

"Ok ok….I'll take their cents."

"I'm gonna say this and only this." Sonia started, "...Can we finally go home and have a nice peaceful dinner then we can have wacky family shenanigans?"

At that, the newly reforged family share a happy laugh and with each other hands held they walked home to a better tomorrow.

The world still has much to discover, but with the hearts of five connected, the world can discover these things, for those five shall protect it with a roar of victory.

"...There we go little buddy." Sonic said, holding a bird with a wounded wing and helping it back to its family and nest, "Give it a few days, pal. You'll be up and at 'em with the family soon enough. Heck, you try hard enough, you'll be ahead and they'll be begging to catch up to you."

"Knave, everyday you are out here, exploring. Why do you not spend it usefully and find the one with the final cube?"

"...Don't wanna." he smiled, "I like this world and I wanna see more of it first before I bail." he said, sniffing another Earth flower he found. "Besides with Amy around now, this is the most peace i'm gonna get."

"Where did you leave her this time?"

"Zzz...oh Sonic~" Amy snoozed in her sleep, clinging to Roll.

"Sonniku…" Roll mumbled in her sleep, "J...Just let me stab him in the chest…or shoot his brain..."

"Well, Roll likes cuddling with something in her sleep. Anyway, it worked out." he said, "Besides, don't you find this world curious? Where's your sense of adventure?"

"I believe it died out when you dropped me on a conveyor belt in that one factory of Eggman's that ended in a pool of lava and didn't remember me until I was starting to fall into it."

"To be fair, I was very busy."

"Yes...looking at Lady Roll's swimsuit."

"It was very form fitting! Besides, how were we to know the one time we go to a beach, Tails and Haseo fall into an underground Egg Factory?"

"If I had hands and a nose, I would be pinching the bridge of it right now," Caliburn sighed.

"Yeah. Whateve...Hold on. Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"..." Sonic then listened, "I know that lullaby." he said speeding off.

"My heart scattered at the stars~ Twinkles in the heat~" the voice Sonic heard grew louder as Sonic soon came upon a clearing near the river, "The words I couldn't say~ Are love fireworks blooming in the night sky~"

"Hmm sad...heartbroken...voice of an angel. I know only one maiden." Caliburn spoke.

"And if she's singing this then that means she's really hurting." Sonic said, "Ahem...Yo, Aphrodite! It's me, Sonic! I got Haseo and Roll! If that's you, come out."

"It is also I, Caliburn. The knave did not include me for some reason or lady Sharha...Well, she is sleeping most of the time…"

"?! ...If you are who you say you are, then answer this; what is Love?"

"Chili-dog?"

"Knave, be serious!"

"What? I love what I wanna love."

"Oh for...The answer is 'Love just is,' Lady Aphrodite," Caliburn sighed, "Honestly, I feel that between the two of us, I am the only one that pay attention to the meetings."

"I do. I just can't save it like Aphrodite can." Sonic said.

"Yes, yes, I know."

"Seriously, Aphrodite, it's me. We're not even on Mobius and Eggman's nowhere to be found. We don't have to go through this," Sonic sighed, "Besides, Roll and Haseo are worried sick after Leo told us the Deathgaliens attacked you, Manic, and Sonia."

"...Is that what the big-mouthed thing was called?" Sonic did not jump in startlement from Aphrodite poking out of a bush behind him, "Honestly, I do believe it needed to floss better."

"Yeah. It's their gang name. Oh, and don't worry. Yamato and them killed that thing dead."

"Good. No one tries to eat my god-babies and gets away with it," Aphrodite huffed before pulling him into a hug, "Oh~! I'm so happy to see you!"

"Thanks. You too. Uncle Mario's been shouting your name all over town to find you for Roll and Haseo's sake...plus, Roll's shop is a day away from being opened." Sonic explained not at all worried from the difficulties breathing.

"Careful maiden of love i don't want you to accidentally cut yourself." Caliburn said.

"And it's nice to see you as well, noble blade," Aphrodite let go of Sonic to give a curtsy to him.

Sonic then pulled out a Miles Electric as Nicole appeared on it. "Nicole, I found Aphrodite."

=Affirmative. We missed you greatly, my Queen=

"Nicole, I thank you so much for taking care of Haseo while we've been separated from everyone," Aphrodite smiled.

=Well, for the most part. Despite the Deathgalien that wanted to shoot his head off= she said. =Oh wait Yamato said not to word it as such.= she muttered to herself.

"...Did it meet a painful demise for attempting that?"

"Nicole, replay, replay!" Sonic panicked as Nicole replayed its first and second deaths. Showing Emphasis on Zyuoh Eagle and ZyuohKing doing as such.

"...Oh, she's so professional! That's my Shield Daughter!" Aphrodite beamed, her tail wagging happily.

=I only live to serve you and my Queen Aleena...Is she with you?=

"Sadly, no. Furthermore, Sonia...well...she finally hit her limit in patience with Manic," Aphrodite sighed, "She went off on her own and Manic went off to find her."

"...You're being half truthful and half not truthful again...What did she say to you?" Sonic sighed already knowing her well enough to read between the lines, the lines in this case being the look in her eyes as she spoke.

"..." Aphrodite whispered it into his ear, causing him to cringe a little before sighing.

"She still not over that, huh?" he asked raising his hand up to his forehead to massage away the headache induced via sheer frustration.

"Sadly, no," Aphrodite shook her head.

"Let's get you to Roll and Haseo. Then we'll figure out how to track Sonia and Manic down." Sonic stated simply. "Besides, Roll and Amy should be waking up in each other arms any minute." he muttered looking at the Miles Electric's watch function.

"Ehehe you can't get away sonic~" Amy giggled, kissing Roll's cheek repeatedly as Leo, Amu, and Yamato watched in confusion when they had planned to wake them up for breakfast.

"...Leo gonna back away in fear of the hammer." Leo stated as softly as his voice could go as he slowly back stepped, all while Amu took pictures using Mario's old camera, "Mario-ossan, I'll take those extra pancakes!"

"Oh! Me too!" Amu cheered after snapping more pictures, "Hehehe...I'm putting these on the holiday card."

"...Well, I guess polygamy is a thing on Mobius….or maybe its herd. No, that's not right. They clearly aren't those type of animals. It's mainly Cloven herbivores that make a herd. Oh, right; a group of Hedgehogs is an Array...Either way, I won't judge." Yamato muttered in his own zoologist mind while quietly closing the door.

-linebreak-

=Everyone, I would like to report that Prince Sonic has located Aphrodite and will be returning with her soon= Nicole informed the gang, Mario coming in while hearing Aphrodite was found.

"?! K….Kaa-san?" Haseo whispered with wide eyes.

"YEAH!" Leo roared/cheered.

"Well there goes my afternoon plans." Mario said, hearing that.

"Is it alright if she stays here, oji-san?"

"Of course. Worse comes to worse? Us boys will sleep in the yard." Mario explained

"Wait. We weren't allowed to?" Leo blinked, getting a few looks.

=There, however, is also bad news. Pri...I mean, Manic and Sonia are still missing.= Nicole said, quickly altering her voice to sound like Sonic with Mario present.

"Eh?" Leo asked as he leaned in, "Majidayo...why is it we always find one and not everyone at the same time?" he complained.

"Leo…" Amu complained, pushing him away.

"Sonic could find everyone easily if he wanted to." Tusk sighed.

"Sonic's gonna be who he's gonna be." Yamato chuckled, "Besides, they couldn't have gotten far...right?"

"Not to mention we just need to look at newspapers and such." Amu smiled.

"Why?"

"...Priceless jewels stolen in broad daylight…" Sela read the paper, "Reports of a muffler-wearing kid with green spiky hair are a possible lead."

"God damn it." Tusk groaned.

"...Yeah, that's Manic," Amu noted, a bead of sweat going down the back of her head.

"Oh, what happy news! I'm making a special meal for tonight." Mario spoke up, getting everyone's attention as he walked around in the kitchen, luckily he wasn't listening to them much, "Oh! I should ask Roll-chan what she likes."

"Oi isn't she still asleep?" Leo asked, "Who's gonna wake her up?"

"Not-" everyone began before Leo jumped out the window.

"Not falling for that one suckers!" Leo laughed as he ran away into the city. Just as a blue blur went past him and then by the door, leaving Aphrodite and returning to the city. "I found Sonic!" he shouted.

"...and you still insist...he's the quietest of his family?" Yamato asked making everyone shudder and hold their hands over their ears.

"Mama Leo...so...loud...so so loud." Sela quivered in her bathtub bed. "She has the pipes of an opera singer as well…"

"Uh bigger point! Auntie!" Amu cheered hugging Aphrodite.

"Pardon?" Aphrodite blinked twice, seeing a human girl hugging her, "Wait a second…" she looked over her shoulder to see Amu's tail, "...Amu-chan, when did you find a mask that looks like a human's?"

"Not a mask." Tusk corrected.

"Oh, silly me." Amu smiled, reverting to normal, "Gao!" she cheered, striking a cat pose.

"...Well...I haven't been this surprised since my last birthday when you all convinced Aleena to dress in drag and do the hula," Aphrodite admitted, blinking twice.

"It was all Amu's plan." Tusk pointed out, seeing the confused look on Yamato's face, "We just provided the blackmail to make it happen."

"You guys are so wacky... I'm sure we'd get high ratings on Disney," Yamato chuckled warmly, just learning to accept his new friends exploits.

"Hmm…" Leo pondered, looking around. "A new area...and many girls needing leo's help!" he smiled as he clapped his hands, "Oh...hey! I'm Leo!" he spoke, waving to some girls that looked about his age.

"Oh Leo…" Sonic sighed, watching from a seat on the edge of a building, "I love you, man, but you are so loud and awkward." he smiled as the girls walked away.

"Hey…" Leo complained before he sighed, "Man...Earth girls are so hard to talk to...What do Tusk and Yamato do that makes it look so easy?"

"Well to be fair, it seems on Earth they got the major handsome factor." Sonic replied, appearing on a bench next to Leo.

"Hey! I'm handsome both as a human and as a Mobian." Leo countered, "I'm handsome! Right, Mini-me?" he asked Cube Lion.

"Gao." it roared cutely.

"Yes, but your loud mouth is a demerit." Caliburn added.

"Yeah. You have plenty of fangirls back home, but when you open your mouth they run."

"Tsk…" Leo complained as he walked over and sat next to him, "I don't care for those types anyway. They just like me 'cause I'm the next head of the Lion clan." he sighed, "Dad always told me that what made him love my mom was that she was always challenging him. When he said one thing, she'd say another. He had to work to earn her love...I want that."he explained, looking at the sky.

"...Has he realize that sums up Sela perfectly?" Sonic asked Caliburn.

"Ah...Sela's my childhood friend." Leo replied, having heard him.

"According to human romances, childhood friends have a 99.9 percent chance of being your spouse." Caliburn informed, recalling the statistics Nicole once told him.

"I still refuse to believe that happened in all of those romance dramas and movies Roll and Amu watched." Sonic spoke, "At that point...it seems more cliche. However, this is real life."

"Yeah, well what's your deal with the girls in your life then?" Leo asked with a chuckle.

"Mine seems to be somewhat the opposite of yours, my old pal." Sonic sighed as they both stared at the sky...Before the silence was broken by a guitar solo.

The two looked back down as they took a second to let their stronger ears just listen to the guitar. The notes were all hit perfectly, the tune and temp were Grade A perfect Rock-N-Roll. Strong and sharp, letting the tone carry on just long enough for the notes to meld into a perfect Guitar solo. Albeit, it would be far better with a full band to bring out the guitar's full potential, but for what it was...it was just the kind of music that these two friends loved. The genre of music which spoke to their wild nature and love of freedom.

The two stood up and followed the music. They eventually found a young man performing a short guitar solo not really as a street performer. He took a few moments as he listened to a pair of headphones on his head before he began playing again. The two Mobians realized that he was practicing whatever he was listening to. After a while of his sudden practice, the man put his guitar and amp away. Leo slid down the stairs leading to where he stood. Once he landed he proceeded with surprising the man by taking his headphones and put them on.

"Oh! Sugoi! This really rocks!" Leo cheered, listening to the rock-n-roll song playing over the headphones. "This is sweet!" he cheered as he clapped his hands before he began dancing to the music.

"Even I feel the need to dance to this melody." Caliburn admitted, "And yet I have no limbs for I am a sword. ...I need to stop sleeping through that show Leo got you hooked on."

The young man, who had short cut black hair wearing a black shirt and tattered old jeans and a leather jacket, smiled as Leo did a backflip out of excitement over the rock blaring through the headphones.

"Man, this song is just up my alley!" Leo cheered, "Love it!"

"I made that song, y'know." the man spoke, excited from the praise.

"Hm?" Leo asked, lifting half the headphones off, "You say something?"

"I made that song." he restated.

"Seriously?" Leo asked getting a nod, "SUGEI!" he shouted excitedly, but the man just laughed, clearly listening to blaring rock all the time adjusted him to Leo's level of volume.

"Yeah. It's all thanks to my lucky charm." he chuckled sheepishly, "I even have an audition tomorrow. I want to become a pro."

"Seriously?! That's awesome man!" Leo said, hugging him, "Your stuff is awesome!"

"Thanks…" he chuckled, "I'm Daisuke, Hiramatsu Daisuke!" he introduced himself.

"Name's Leo." Leo smiled, doing the same.

"Heh...Leo's good at making bros on Earth." Sonic chuckled, watching them. He then stopped as he felt his tail shoot up, "!"

Leo's tail raised up as well as he recognised this feeling. "Deathgaliens already?" Daisuke blinked seeing the tail before Leo turned around and put his hands on his shoulder, "Good luck Daisuke, I'm rooting for you." he smiled before he ran off, Sonic blurring after him.

"A...tail? Wait, my headphones!" he shouted, running after Leo.

"Ah!" Amu complained as hers and the other Mobian's tails all shot up, "Mou...not again, my ribbon!"

"Ah Deathgalien!" Roll freaked as her tail woke her up.

"Mm...back to bed Sonic.." Amy snoozed.

"Oh good. Roll's awake." Amu nodded as everyone grabbed their stuff to go out.

A yellow blur shot around them and into the bathroom before coming out a few seconds later. Roll blinked twice while Aphrodite blinked twice. Both smiled after that before hugging one another.

"Okaa-chan!"

"My little Rolly-chan!" Aphrodite squealed, their tails wagging despite the stiffness in them.

Yamato smiled warmly before he patted Roll's shoulder gently, "Roll-san, we have work to do. You stay here and fill in your mother on what's going on." he explained before he walked to the door, "Honno Kakusei!" he shouted, turning into Zyuoh Eagle before his wings grew out.

"...Huh. Super Sentai," Aphrodite blinked twice.

"Roll can explain!" Amu said as she jumped on his back before they flew off with a sonic boom.

"Ah! I thought they agreed to stop doing sonic booms over here?!" Mario yelped in the kitchen, "I'm going to have a stern talking to with that air base!"

"Bye!" Sela said, jumping out the window in a hurry.

"Uh...Roll knows everything," Tusk said, the only one leaving normally.

"...At least Tusk-chan is polite enough to not startle our host and leave properly," Aphrodite shook her head, an amused expression on her face.

Everyone in town was being knocked over by a strange blur of speed...only it was not Sonic this time. It was a tall Deathgalien alien going by. His body was colored in metallic grey, dark blue and pale magenta armor. Its heels were wheels in that began grinding against the asphalt. The monster had a large chest and arms and its head...looked like the engine block of an American motorcycle; with its face being the headlight, two eyestalks resembling the mirrors being his eyes which were just two blue crystals almost like tinted shades, and a 'gas cap' being his medal slot. His mouth opened slightly as he laughed at the poor people he knocked over and almost ran over.

"Move it, you slow meat bags! Outta the way! Move it or get run over!" he spoke in what could be called a teenage punk-like voice, "The great Yabiker-sama of Team Azald is here to run wild on your streets!" he began to hop in place as an engine revving noise went off from his body, "Get ready because the Game is starting!" he called out as the exhaust pipe on his right shoulder widened into a trumpet like bell, "Bwananananana!" he shouted as a loud trumpet solo came from his shoulder.

The sound wave washed over everyone as they tried to flee. As it washed over them, everybody stopped before looking up as dark marks formed under their eyes and their skin paled. They all developed looks of pure rage and anger.

"BWANANANANA!" one screamed before the others soon followed as they began to run around, trashing everything, some even began fist fighting with each other, throwing the entire street into violent chaos.

"Oh, I so love this game," Yabiker chuckled in glee as he looked around, seeing one of them managed to end up wearing a traffic cone and start beating others up with a used plunger, "But why do they always find a traffic cone and a used plunger?" he asked before shrugging, "Oh well, let's blow away common sense and inhibitions!" he cheered.

"Yabiker's horn has the ability to literally blow away common sense." Azald cheered, "With him, we've thrown entire planets of peaceful aliens into full blown chaos and self destruction. Humans are so far the easiest to effect! They are just hiding so many dark, nasty things!"

"I must say...despite the result, it's a fun power." Quval spoke, "It's so fun seeing them beat each other senseless. I wonder how many will kill others?" he asked gleefully.

"Oh look! One of them found an octopus!" Azald laughed, "Ha! He just shoved it in her pants!"

"Without their natural inhibitions, they go into a frenzy and self destruct." Ginis spoke, "How delightfully comical." he chuckled watching the scene.

"Oh! I promise a delightful show Master!" Azald chuckled.

"What the?" Leo asked as he and Sonic skidded to a halt, seeing the humans go crazy. "What are they doing?"

"I don't know...but it's not my kind of fun." Sonic replied, seeing some people hitting each other. "Welp. Time for work." he said blurring off and soon a blue blur went past each of the crazies and the next thing they knew, they were tied up. "Okay! Tha-AH!" he cried as Yabiker tackled into him as a blur.

"Get off my road, you wimp!" Yabiker shouted as he tried stomping on Sonic, who dashed away, "You think you can stop my party with that?! When they hear my Wild Noise, they'll all just go even more crazy!"

"So i just need to shut you up is what you're telling me?" Sonic asked.

"Oh...but can you is the question, shorty!" Yabiker taunted, flaunting the fact he towered over Sonic.

"Umm... Wow. That's so original….its not like i fought things twice the size of Zyuoh King and still won." Sonic yawned, he then gasped as he was smacked upside the head by a baseball bat covered in barbed wire. "Ah...okay...cheap shot…"

"Who said I play fair like those other idiots!?" Yabiker asked, smacking him again.

"Sonic!" Leo called out.

"Wait! Those...are…" Daisuke called out catching up with Leo.

"More prey!" Yabiker spoke as Leo got in front of Daisuke, "Bwananana-nanana!"

Leo raised his hands, but felt no kinetic force from it, so it wasn't a physical damaging attack. Daisuke held his hands over his ears due to volume while Leo still had the headphones over his ears. Leo blinked twice, seemingly unaffected.

"...Wow. What the heck…" Daisuke blinked, before his eyes grew dark as he looked up and grabbed Leo's shoulder "Bwanana!" he shouted, belting him across the face. "Nanana!" he shouted as he ran off and began punching a pillar.

"Daisuke!" Leo shouted, not bothered by the punch to his face, "Oi Daisuke! Chill out, man!" he shouted, grabbing him and trying to stop him from punching the cement pillar. Daiskue then began punching Leo before pushing him away.

"Why...why isn't that one affected by my sweet Bwanana Noise?" Yabiker asked in confusion.

"Noise?" Leo repeated before he looked at the headphones, "I get it... These things kept me from hearing whatever power that is."

"I've got more where that came from!" Yabiker said before Sonic Spin Dashed into his back, knocking him away.

"Leo, I got him! If it's noise, then I can outrun it!" Sonic explained, "You stop your friend!"

"Got it!" Leo nodded, putting the headphones on before he went and grabbed Daisuke, "Daisuke, stop!"

"There he is!" Zyuoh Eagle shouted as the others finally arrived, Yabiker and Sonic moving around as blurs and crashing into one another.

"Guys!" Leo called out, "Quick cover your ears!" he shouted, doing the same for Daisuke.

"Huh?" the four blinked before quickly doing as he shouted.

Yabiker was able to unleash another sound blast that swept over everything before hitting the Zyuohgers. Luckily Tiger, Elephant, and Eagle were unaffected due to blocking the sound out in time, but Shark however…

"Bwanana-nana!" she shouted as she punched Eagle, knocking him down.

"Sela!" Elephant spoke as she tackled him next.

"She hit me!?" Eagle spoke surprised.

"It's...his...power!" Leo grunted, holding Daisuke down.

"Anyone who hears his stupid trumpet goes totally crazy and begins hitting everything!" Sonic added, avoiding another blast aimed at him.

"Sela...must...have still heard the noise pollution because of her ears!" Elephant complained as he tried to hold Shark in place, only for her to slap his helmet and knock him down into Eagle.

Eagle groaned as he pushed Elephant off, "Sela's a shark so her sense of hearing is very acute. She can hear things even underwater where noise travels differently." he grunted as he helped Tiger hold her in place.

"It is neat and weird how you just know so much about our biology!" Sonic said, holding Yabiker in place.

"You bastards are pretty tough, but lets see how you last at my maximum output! Bwanana Noise!" Yabiker declared, aiming his horn at the Zyuohgers.

"No thanks!" Elephant groaned as he aimed his Zyuoh Buster and shot directly into the horn.

However, the sound wave indeed came out stronger as it knocked all the blocky energy blasts away. The others held their hands over their ears in time as the sound wave washed over and pushed them all away. Shark whipped out her sword and began to use it to try to strike the others.

Daisuke laughed as he finally pushed Leo off. He then began punching the pillar again. Leo grunted as he got up before he wiped his cheek, making his eyes widen as he noticed there was a bit of blood was on his face...but not his own. Leo stared as Daisuke's knuckles were beginning to bleed from repeatedly hitting the cement pillar.

"Guess we got to stop him first…" Leo growled, looking at Yabiker while he pulled out his Zyuoh Changer and twisted the top.

=LION!=

"Honno Kakusei!" he shouted, becoming Zyuoh Lion. He then charged as he held up his sword, going past the others as they held Shark...while her lone free arm had managed to grab a used plunger and was bashing Elephant repeatedly on the head with it.

"Have some more!" Yabiker shouted, blasting Lion...only for him to run through the noise. "What?!" he asked as he blocked a swing from Lion, "I can't even nail this guy! Stop making me look bad!" he shouted, swinging at Lion only for Sonic to block the bat.

The two then slashed Yabiker across the chest before kicking him back. Yabiker groaned as the two pointed their swords at him.

"Tsk...I'll be back you guys wait and see!" he spoke in a cliche style as he vanished in a green light.

"Eh?" both Mobians blinked as people began calming down.

Everyone blinked in confusion as to what they were doing. They were either breaking something, in the middle of fighting someone, tied up...or wearing a traffic cone on their heads. Daisuke stopped in confusion before wincing, holding his fist. Shark also stopped after a moment as she flashed back into a confused Sela, who was being held by Eagle, Elephant, and Tiger.

"What...what just happened? What did I do?" Sela asked.

"That's our line." Eagle complained, crouching down as they all let go of her.

"Ugh...Where did I get this?" Sela cringed as she dropped the used plunger.

"That's what I want to know!" Elephant demanded, having been the one it was used on.

"Poor Sela." Tiger sighed as she was holding her legs and was now patting them in a calming tone.

"Daisuke!" Leo called out, ignoring his friends, "Sorry...I stole your headphones." he said, awkwardly holding them up.

"Ah...gh…" Daisuke groaned, holding his blood covered right hand.

"Hey anyone know first aid?" Sonic asked, coming back with a medical box.

"I got it." Yamato said, taking it as he ran off to help.

"We'll go help the confused people." Amu stated, dragging Tusk and Sela off.

"I can't believe my splendid Bwanana Noise was stopped by them just covering their ears!" Yabiker shouted back on the ship, "It's a total disrespect to my pride!"

"Forget that. Just get back down there and drive the humans mad!" Azald complained.

"I can't...my pride forbids me from letting that insult past! I'm gonna drive those Zyuohgers mad and watch them kill each other!" he stated as Naria brought in a large tool box with the Deathgaliens' symbol on it.

"Here are the parts you requested," Naria spoke.

"Ah! Thank you, Naria! You're the best!" Yabiker beamed, "Now I'm gonna tune up and teach those jerks a lesson!"

"What an earnest player, Azald." Quval taunted.

"Shat up!" He shouted.

"So...thanks to Leo we know we can block Yabiker's sound ability with these," Tusk spoke as he put down five color matching MP3 players on the table, Amu already trying one on with a smile.

"Except…" Yamato muttered looking at Sela.

"What?" Sela asked with a sour look.

"It'd be better if you stay here." Tusk stated bluntly, "Your sense of hearing would only be a problem."

"No way! I'm not letting that jerk get away with what he did to me!" Sela countered, her pride compelling her to disagree with Tusk's logical point.

"But...we can't guarantee this will be enough to keep you from hearing." Yamato spoke up.

"Sela...you'd just end up going crazy again and...kinda...sorta maybe...slow us down." Amu said slowly while poking her index fingers together, "I mean...you wouldn't want him getting away again, would you?" she asked in worry.

"Then I'll just find some way to keep that from happening!" Sela shouted, walking off; Roll jumped out of the way, seeing the anger just emanating from the Shark Mobian.

"I really hope this doesn't end up like the last time you and Tusk-san caused her to become this riled up, Amu-chan," Roll noted, her ears going down in worry.

"H-hai…" Haseo nodded nervously, hiding underneath the table.

"This and that are different. Sela's pride is keeping her from accepting she'd be a liability in this fight." Tusk argued, "A Monster who fights using a sound who makes people go mad is the worst enemy for Sela. Her hearing is by far the strongest and she's one of our best hand to hand combatants."

"Logically...it is a bad idea." Yamato spoke, "I don't want to upset her...but after hearing him once, we couldn't do anything because of having to restrain her."

"Roll...how brave are you feeling?" Amu asked, making her ears shoot up in surprise and worry as to what that implied, "Now before you run away, hear me out. I'm just asking you to help make a string of events that will keep Sela-chan locked away in the house and keep her from following us."

"I don't know…" Roll admitted, "I mean, the opening is…"

"Roll." Amu spoke, grabbing her shoulders, "You remember that time we all tried to go out to that scary movie...and Sela followed us because we said she wouldn't like it. After she got over the terror, what was she like for the whole week after? Cranky! You know Sela hates being proven wrong. Do you want to deal with 'bites your head off' Sela for another week till a Deathgalien shows up?" she asked, shaking her very gently, "You got so freaked out, you refused to come out of a tree for that week."

"W-We agreed not to talk about that week…" Roll blushed.

"That's the point. Sela is our best friend no one knows her better than us. If we let her go and become Bwanana Sela again, she's gonna be snippy, and angry till she gets over it." Amu explained, "Roll, for the love of all that is our peaceful days...help us out here!"

"Also, Leo is kind of the only one who was able to overpower the monster...so...you know the damage to her pride will be worse." Tusk added.

"?!" Roll paled, "I...I may need to enlist Okaa-san and Nicole-chan for this...maybe Miyuki-chan and Tails-chan if things go sour…"

"I love you…" Amu sighed hugging her, "Now about Yabiker."

"Well, if we can get in close, I'm sure Yamato can just Gorilla smash him." Tusk explained as Yamato bumped his fists together while nodding, "Plus Leo will be good for some damage once he gets there." He added as Roll blinked and noticed they were minus one Zyuohger.

"Ano...Where is Leo-san, anyway?" Roll asked.

"Leo-kun made a new friend who got hurt by the Deathgalien." Amu explained with a smile, "Leo is showing off his best quality again. He's an amazing friend."

"He wants to help him. Leo feels bad because he ruined his hand because of him." Yamato added, getting Roll's attention, "Leo must feel terrible for leading him to Yabiker. As a musician, nothing could be worse than your hand being damaged." he explained, giving Roll the context.

Daisuke groaned as he tried to strum his guitar, only for his bandaged hand to twitch and make him drop the pick. The young musician groaned, feeling the pain course through his hand once more. It wasn't terribly shattered, but it was indeed broken as he learned at the hospital. It would heal fine with some time, but...his big audition was tomorrow. Leo looked with a sad look at his new friend. Every time he attempted to strum his guitar...it just hurt his hand worse.

"It's no good…" he groaned, setting his guitar down, "There's no way I can pass the audition like this…" he paused, "After all this time...I was so close."

"Daisuke…" Leo spoke, before he took a breath and put on a serious face. "You should go."

"What? Are you crazy? ...I can't go like this." he said, holding up his hand.

"You shouldn't give up like that!" Leo replied, "You have to go."

"I don't want to hear that from you!" Daisuke shouted.

"Huh?" Leo asked.

"Why do you think I was there...whose fault do you think this is!?" he demanded, getting up and in Leo's face.

"Mine." Leo said, simply surprising him.

"Huh...then why are you acting mad?!" Daisuke demanded, grabbing his shirt.

"I know you can't forgive me, and you can hit me all you want." Leo said calmly, slapping his own face for emphasis, "But you're still going to that audition! I'm not letting you throw away your dream!"

"What's the point in going?" Daisuke asked turning away, "I'm just gonna fail anyway."

"..." Sonic overheard the two as he leaned against the glass door leading to the terrace of Daisuke's apartment.

He followed because he also felt a little bad for the incident, if he had taken Yabiker away then Daisuke may not have harmed his hand. But he entrusted this matter to Leo, for the simple fact Sonic knew if anyone was good at knocking a person out of a slump...it was Leo.

"Listen, I seriously love that song of yours!" Leo shouted as he reverted to Mobian form with a roar, making Daisuke cover his ears.

Daisuke turned around before panicking as he saw the humanoid lion standing in his room. Leo walked forward calmly while growling slightly. "L….Lion?" he blinked as Sonic chuckled unlike everyone else he wasn't so worried about being seen by humans outside, that and realizing what happened was kind of funny.

"I love that song of yours and I ain't even human!" Leo pointed out, "There's no way real humans wouldn't!" he said, slapping his leg, "It's a huge waste to give up without even trying! That song you made was amazing, and you did it on your own!"

"..." Daisuke calmed down as he let those words sink in, "But...it wasn't me…"

"Eh?" Leo asked as he pulled out a familiar-looking object.

"I found this weird pick shaped like a Hedgehog...and ever since I got it, all my songs have been better...I could play better. With it, I had good luck… I bet if I had it with me...this never would have happened…" he spoke, gripping it in his good hand.

"Oi...that's Sonic's…" Leo spoke as he leaned in closer, "Yeah...that totally is Sonic's medallion!"

"Sonic?" Daisuke blinked confused.

"Yo." Sonic waved outside the window.

"Ahh a hedg….wait...you look just like…" Daisuke blinked, looking at the medallion and Sonic repeatedly.

"Let me?" Sonic asked, smiling gently as Daisuke gave him the medallion...and it quickly transformed into a blue and gold dual headed guitar, "Yep. It's mine." he smiled before the guitar turned back to its medallion form and was given back to Daisuke.

"Sugei! This thing really is magic." Daisuke awed.

"You said that before...What did you mean?" Leo asked.

"Ever since I found this thing...I've been playing better...I've been doing better." he explained, "People complimented me more on my songs. It makes me...better." he spoke, looking at it once more.

"This thing isn't magical like that." Sonic told Daisuke, shaking his head with a small smile, "It doesn't give you magic skills,"

"Then how would you explain it?" Daisuke asked.

"Simple. I never played the guitar before I got it." Sonic chuckled as the three all sat down to talk.

"Eh? You were a noob?" Daisuke blinked, surprised to hear that.

"Yep and the reason why is simple… I didn't play with my hands; I played with my heart. I didn't sing with my mouth; I sung with my soul. The medallion just helped bring out what's inside you, buddy." Sonic chuckled, "That's what it did. I mean, I sure think it's magical, but not in that way. If anything, it's something that connects me to my brother and sister. Man...we had one of the best bands ever in our world. I don't care what anyone says. When we played...my soul was resonating so greatly with them."

"Sugei…" Daisuke spoke as he understood what he meant. "So...it's magic because I was playing with something that has your Rock-n-Roll Soul in it."

"Now you see, Daisuke!" Leo spoke up, "Your music is great and it's all your own. Now you have to go to that audition tomorrow. I'll drag you there myself if I have to!"

"Or I can make you wait until there's one second left and-boom!-you're at the audition ready to rock." Sonic smiled.

"Either way, no matter what you're gonna be there and you're gonna give it your all." Leo spoke, "I love your music, so I'm not gonna let you give up without saying you tried." he said, "Come on Sonic, our bud needs his rest so he can give it his all."

"Hehe, that sounds like a great idea, Leo." Sonic agreed, standing up and leaving with him.

Leo then peeked back in, "You better be ready for tomorrow!" he roared, spooking Daisuke from the sudden volume.

The next day, the Zyuohgers and Mobians guests awoke for a brand new day in the Mori/Kazakiri home. Amu snapped awake as she smelled a familiar aroma, food. Food cooked by a certain new house guest.

"Dibs." Amu spoke as she blurred out of her room, fully dressed before anyone.

"Ah! Sonic! That you!?" Leo shouted, falling from his sleeping spot.

"No...can't say it was…" he grunted, woken up by the same noise, "Though...not bad I must admit."

"It's too early for your shouting, Leo…" Sela grumbled, poking her head out of the bathtub in the room, a blue sleeping mask over her eyes.

"You should get used to the noise. I suspect we'll be getting a lot of it." Tusk sighed, "I called Tails. He says the plan might not work."

"Why?"

"Said we might have miss-assumed that the Deathgalien won't upgrade itself...but I bet money on it being an idiot like the rest of Azald's team."

"Ano...You said that the noise came from a horn on its body, hai?" Roll asked as she exited the bathroom, dressed up for the day in a blue tee and jeans with yellow lightning bolts going up one leg.

"That's right." Yamato nodded, "It sounded like the noise a Bōsōzoku gang make with their air horns." he explained as the Mobians blinked in confusion to what he just said, "Oh right...your culture must have something different. In Japan we call Bikers 'Bōsōzoku.' They wear long white jackets with random Kanji on the back...and trick out their bikes in really weird ways."

"Hey, Leo, I'm going out. If you look for me, I'll be looking out for our bud." Sonic informed Leo before he speed off in a boom-like manner.

"Ahh earthquake!" Uncle Mario panicked.

"Sonic…" Tusk sighed.

"I saved the food!" Aphrodite informed from the kitchen before the sound of a frying pan meeting skull went off, "Amu-chan, down! No trying to snack before food is served!"

"Anyway, back to planning." Tusk sighed, "Roll's right about the horn. It should be our first target to keep the casualties to a low level."

"Hai," Roll nodded, "Then again...It may double as an exhaust pipe in which plugging it up could result in a breakdown in his internal systems or organs in which would require a complete replacement of some parts or organs. And if it's not, then the horn, if you plugged it, would blow up and caused mainly external but also internal injuries to the Deathgalien, giving you opportunity to strike." Tusk looked at her with a raised brow, "...What? I like reading those motorcycle and medical magazines at the bookstore near the cafe."

"Isn't that a textbook store for the local college?" Yamato corrected, "Roll, I think you've been studying a mechanic and medical textbook."

"Are we really trying to apply this stuff to alien biology?" Sela asked.

"It's worked before." Tusk pointed out, "And Roll makes a good point. However, I tried shooting it but his maximum sound output can knock projectiles back meaning we'd need to get in close to jam something into block the noise. Where in lies a secondary issue his...wheel...heels...he can move pretty fast...enough Sonic needed to at least try a little to keep him from getting away."

"We could have Tails build something to glue up the horns and use super tar or something to trap his feet." Yamato figured.

"The issue is...when he'll come back." Tusk reminded, "This is the first time I think we've seen a player...let alone a Team Azald one retreat."

"Hey minna Breakfast." Amu reminded, "I'mma eat it all~"

"Ah...I suppose we can figure this all out while eating." Yamato offered his own stomach growling.

"Did you wash your hands?" Aphrodite called from the kitchen.

"Oh right." Yamato nodded.

"Leo, you...he's gone…" Tusk noted, "He must have left with Sonic."

"They seem to be hiding a secret," Amu noted, "Sonic whispered something to him and then boom."

"Sela-chan, you wouldn't have happened to overhear what they were whispering, did you?"

"I don't listen to anything involving Leo. Besides, I was busy with my revenge plan."

"Is it Leo-chan based revenge or this that 'Deathgalien' thing that makes people act like those adorable little white rabbits I see on the TV that go 'bwah' all the time?" Aphrodite asked as she carried two large plates to the table.

"Deathgalien this time," Sela sighed, "I'm not letting him get me again. That's why I've found tons of things to block out sounds." she explained before pulling out a blue motorcycle helmet with thick padding within.

"Excellent idea," Aphrodite nodded, "But do you have a backup plan and then a backup plan for that backup plan?"

"Eh?" Yamato looked at the fox Mobian as she put plates on the table with her tail.

"Well, it's something my late husband used to say. 'When you make a plan, always make backups for even the backups,'" she explained, "I swear that from the very moment he woke up for the day, he already had a hundred plans set in motion based on what he did first when waking up."

"Back up plan…" Yamato muttered.

"Sonic would say the only plan we need is to win." Amu chuckled.

"That does sound like him," Aphrodite giggled as she put a plate of French toast sprinkled in a light coating of powdered sugar with blueberries before Amu with a few strips of bacon and sausage, "Though that will get him into trouble one day. ...Then again, he'd enjoy being in trouble if he found it fun."

"Enjoys?" Sela, Amu and Yamato questioned.

"He doesn't enjoy it; he's in love with danger." Tusk groaned, "That's just the kind of person he is, he's one of those types who are enamored with the thrill."

"And keeping it alive to the detriment of others…" Roll mumbled under her breath.

"So what are Sonia and Manic like in comparison?" Yamato asked out of curiosity.

"Oh Princess Sonia is the most spoiled and snobbiness person you'll ever meet." Amu chuckled, "Even the littlest chance of getting dirty makes her freak."

"Manic-kun is a skilled thief. If he would stop stealing from random people and focused more on those deserving his skills such a corrupt officials and the like, I would consider him a master thief," Aphrodite noted, "But I don't mind his antics. It's just a part of who he is and shouldn't be forced out of him. Now if he were violent and abusive like those Hinata Sou girls in this manga I read, then I'd have a few words with him."

"..." Tusk's eye twitched, reading about six robberies occurring last night. He slowly folded up the paper before chucking it out the window, "Yeah...it's all part of who he is…" he groaned, reverting to Mobian form and massaging the base of his trunk.

"I suppose that Sonic and his brother don't really embody the term 'Prince' do they?" Yamato asked, "They sound more like your typical aventures from a story. The two unexpected rogues who are dragged into saving the world due to plot and etc."

"They liked it...for about two months." Aphrodite sighed.

"Hm?" Yamato tilted his head in confusion.

"Oh Auntie, Roll, and Haseo lived with them when Zyuland was reborn. So if anyone knows them, better it's her." Amu smiled.

"She was almost Manic's mother by adoption, 'till a thief stole Manic off her front door." Sela groaned.

"If that no good thief had not been roboticized and blown up in a factory explosion done by Freedom Fighters, I would've shown him why you do not steal little children especially babies," Aphrodite smiled sweetly...all while everyone, Yamato included, back away from the mature fox Mobian and the crushed knife in her hand.

"I...think that one would require context...but...another time." Yamato chuckled awkwardly as everyone hid behind him, using him as a shield.

"Oh dear. How did this knife break?" Aphrodite asked, the dark feeling gone, "I'll pay for a replacement, Yamato-san. My humblest apologies."

"Don't worry too much about it. It's not like Me and Oji-san went out of the way to buy expensive stuff." Yamato waved his hands quickly.

"..." Manic, wearing a muffler, looked around as police cars went by; sighing, he took out today's score and put it down in front of a poorly intact orphanage. "Ah...I didn't even have time to exchange for this world's currency...but damn, they have some fast cops in this world." he smiled as he knocked on the door. "But this will get you guys through the year." he said as he jumped away from the door the moment he heard footsteps coming up to it. As he recalled, yesterday, a lot of folks went crazy and smashed the place up, even stole their money...and proceeded to tear it up. "...Hmm...I better keep an eye out for that weird noise again." he then blinked, seeing two faces, "Hey... That's…"

"And are you sure we got the proper shampoo, kyu?" Miyuki, wearing a veil, asked a goggle-wearing and muffler-covered Tails.

"Yes, I'm sure…" Tails sighed, "Great deal too. These humans are so weird making so many brands with the same effect, but the brand just means it costs more. Is that some kind of weird thing...or marketing genius?"

"Possibly the latter, kyu," Miyuki shrugged, "Though I will admit, they do smell wonderful at times, kyu."

"Hands up!" Manic said, pressing his fingers to their back, "Hand over the goods and there won't be any trouble, you clever foxes."

"Ok! Ok! We don't want any...wait...Manic?" Tails blinked.

"S-s-sup!" he greeted, his teeth chattering as his body from the waist down was covered in ice, his hands giving them thumbs up, "I...uh...might have not expected this…"

"...I told you no powers in public." Tails frowned.

"Gomen, but he shouldn't have surprised us like that, kyu," Miyuki stated as she snapped her fingers, causing the ice around Manic to disappear

"No...I will take that one as my bad...still...ah...cold…" he complained with a shudder as he took a moment to let his body warm up, "And in a place no man enjoys having be cold."

"Let me guess, you don't want Sonic and the others to know we found you, too?" Tails asked.

"Sonia?"

"Sonia…" they nodded.

"I told you I don't need to sleep." Tails frowned, being forced into bed by Miyuki. "I need to improve the engine, and then I need to finish analyzing the Cube Animals and the King's Credentials and discover an unique energy pattern to locate the final credential."

"Sleep would allow you to focus more energy on your tasks." Nicole spoke bluntly, "You haven't slept since last time Yamato came over and stared you into sleeping."

"Who's side are you on?!" Tails complained.

"In this instance...just my own." Nicole replied.

"...I am starting to think having Cube Kirin with you is doing something," Tails deadpanned, earning a squeak from the mentioned Cube Animal on Nicole's shoulder...wearing a tiny nightcap.

"He says young ones also need their sleep...no matter how smart and cheeky they are," Nicole translated, getting a few stares, "I paraphrased."

At that, the doors were opened as Sonia walked in, exhausted.

"..Oh, I forgot to set the security." Nicole blinked, "Good evening, Princess Sonia."

"On...second thought...growing boy needs his sleep," Tails spoke, "Good night, everybody!" he shouted, hiding under the covers.

"...ugh..too tired to care right now…" Sonia sighed a bit, "I am not here. I do not exist. That is an imperial order understand?"

"Acknowledged," Nicole nodded while Cube Kirin gave a yawning squeak before Nicole promptly looked to Miyuki, "I believe the door to here is malfunctioning. I will inspect it at once. If it is Deathgalien-related, please evacuate. If it is Tusk, Amu, or Leo-related, shall I handle it as per usual standards?"

"I guess, kyu," Miyuki nodded with a light yawn.

-flashback end-

"She's been moping for the past two weeks. I haven't been able to work at all." Tails sighed.

"Wait...it's been two weeks...huh, you think I would have noticed that." Manic muttered.

"So you were with her until two weeks ago?" Tails asked.

"Me and Mom-Mom Aphrodite not Queen Ma-but well, old scars got brought up, so she ran. I got to looking for her. Had to make detours and next thing I knew? Couldn't find Mom 2."

"And by 'detours,' you mean…" Tails trailed off.

"Yes. That kind of detour." he explained. "Told you, little bro, need to stop poking into the adults' business."

"Too easy." Tails chuckled to himself.

"Anyway, I'm glad she's alright at least." Manic said.

"So...then we know where everyone is...I guess." Tails muttered, going with the subject change, "Well...for now. For all I know, you'll poof away within the next few minutes."

"Yeah, I still got detours to make for some kids who need it, but tell Mom, Sis, and Bro to stay in touch." he said before digging into his pocket and tossing a Power Ring to Tails, "One of Bro's rings. I found it in a museum." he explained, "It fell into and lodged into a dig site. Can you believe it?!"

"With how everyone got ejected from the Link Cube like water out of a fountain...yeah." Tails muttered as he pocketed the ring. "Ho…" he started before he and Miyuki blinked at him, already being gone.

"...Where did…" Miyuki began before shaking her head, "Know what? I think I may have a good idea, kyu…"

"...Window?"

"That or the front door, kyu."

"Either way, still rude not to at least say goodbye."

"How's it going?" Sonic called out, freaking out Daisuke.

"Ah!" Daisuke yelped as he turned around, "Dude!" he shouted, "Oh...god...man, that was not cool, Hedgehog."

"Sonic." he corrected, "I'm above all my fellow hedgehogs, I'm the fastest thing alive: Sonic the Hedgehog." he smiled, "Besides, I'm your biggest fan."

"Oh...thanks…" he nodded after taking a moment, "Daisuke...nice to meet you, Sonic." he bowed his head awkwardly.

"So you pumped?" Sonic asked.

"Oh…" Daisuke blinked, taking out the medallion and handing it over.

"What are you doing?" Sonic asked curious.

"I can't use it with my hand like this...ah. Don't misunderstand...I want to go." he corrected, noticing Sonic raise a brow, "But...a guitarist can't used a multi-pointed pick unless he can use his full hand to change which tip is being used." he explained logically, "I'd be stuck to holding the pick between my fingers in one way...I'd have to use a regular one to play to my full ability." he explained, holding his bandaged hand.

"Keep it for luck." Sonic explained."I still gotta thank you for taking care of it for me." he smiled, "Let's work together. You hold on to the medallion and i'll support you in rock-n-roll spirit, ok?"

"Ah...thanks Sonic." He nodded, "Hehehe...you know it's weird...you and Leo ain't even humans but you're some of the best buds I've ever had."

"I have that effect on people." he smirked.

"You're a cocky one, ain't ya?" Daisuke laughed lightly, tapping his shoulder with his good hand, "Thanks man." he sighed after a second.

"If you really want to thank me, pour your all into your audition and win or lose, keep racing," he said as he fist bump him, "I'm gonna make sure you can play to your heart's satisfaction."

"Thanks…" Daisuke nodded.

"Hey, Sonic! I brought you Aphrodite's breakfast like you asked." Leo said, barging in.

"Ah! How did you...?"

"Sonic made a copy of your key." Leo explained as he set things up on the table in the middle of the apartment, "Oh! She made extra. Daisuke! You gotta try this! This is some of the best cooking you'll ever have!"

"Yeah it is!" Sonic agreed "Come on, man! Dig in!"

"Oh...thanks." Daisuke nodded as they sat down at the table as they set up the food.

"I had to make it here slowly so the food didn't get messed up, I hope you appreciate that." Leo said, punching Sonic's shoulder.

"Sure. It feels like years since I last had her cooking, so thanks for being careful, Leo," Sonic chuckled.

"Is it that good?" Daisuke asked.

"Buddy, if everyone was in the middle of a war, it's a good bet that the moment the two sides smelled her cooking, they'd drop it all just to eat it," Leo chuckled.

"I wish that was true with all combatants. But he's not wrong, it's how we stopped all the small squabbles with us and our friends when we were all kids."

"Honto?" Daisuke raised a brow as Leo put the last of the food on the table, revealing it to be French Toast with a light sprinkle of powder sugar and cinnamon with blueberries, creamy butter, and maple syrup.

"Oh, she outdid herself with this one." Sonic cheered, taking his plate.

"I know right."

"Umai!" Daisuke shouted, taking a bite while they talked, "This is awesome! This is really awesome!"

"Told ya." the two Mobians smiled as they ate together.

"This is the best breakfast I've ever had." Daisuke spoke.

"Hm...hey, Daisuke let's turn on the TV it's to quiet in here." Leo said, munching on his breakfast in Mobian form with Sonic.

"Hai…" he muttered turning the little TV on to the news.

=Yet another robbery last night in a string of strange cases that leave Metro Police stumped= a News Anchor spoke as Sonic blinked.

"Manic." Leo spoke as Sonic sighed in agreement.

Yabiker smirked as he stood on a tall building having finally returned. "You stupid humans! I'm gonna show you why you never mess with Yabiker-sama! Get a load of my Bwanana-nanana noise...Version 2!" he spoke as the bell of his horn grew larger and gold in color. "BWANANANANA-NANANAA!"

With that, an even larger sound blast washed over the city as cars skidded to a halt. People began shouting and going mad once again as they began going wild once again. People began breaking things, fighting and, once again, some began doing the randomest of things in the process.

"Hm?" Amu blinked as the Mobian's tails all shot up once again. "Aha! I knew it! That's why I didn't wear a ribbon."

"He's back early." Sela complained.

"Sela." Tusk sighed, "We went over th-!" he grunted as she shoved an entire piece of French Toast into his mouth.

"Eat your breakfast, Tusk." she frowned before turning around to the other girls currently present, "And incase any of you were thinking of gettin' in my way…" she then pulled out one of Yamato's climbing ropes, "Think...again."

"Ahah! But, Sela, you forget I'm needed on the battlefield." Amu smiled.

"Yes...I need a club to beat Yabiker senseless." Sela said, reverting to Mobian form and revealing her full set of shark teeth, making the girls all hold one another in fear, "So...who's first?"

"I feel like I should stop this...but even I am not that dumb." Yamato sighed. "So instead, Minna especially Sela ikuze!" he ordered.

"Understood." Sela said, already tying up Amu and lifting her over her shoulder.

"I am not into this sort of play~!" Amu cried. "Roll! Auntie! Help me!?" she begged, only to see them already tied up, "Unfair!"

"You would not believe how hard that is on them," Sela sighed wiping her forehead, "Their figures make it so difficult...but boy once you get them they are stuck there."

"...Honestly, I haven't been tied up like this in a long while," Aphrodite admitted, "But, Sela, dearie, could you next time use a square knot for the ones on the wrists? They chafe."

"Why do...oh...nevermind. I can figure it out," Sela blinked, putting two and two together.

"Auntie, you crafty one you." Amu cheered.

"Okaa-san…" Roll blushed as she looked at her with wide eyes.

"Hah…" Yamato sighed as he undid the knots, setting them free, "We're heading out." he spoke simply like anyone leaving the house.

"Good luck," Aphrodite smiled.

"The address to the cafe is on the fridge. Love you, Okaa-san," Roll noted as she packed up the last of her video equipment before running out after Yamato.

Yabiker laughed as he watching the humans go at it. "Hahaha...Where do they get the cones and plungers!?" he laughed at the people he drove wild with his power, "This entire section of town is now slaves to my Bwanana-Nana noise!" he cheered before a red blured tackled into him and took him into the sky, "LET GO!" he cried.

"Okay." Zyuoh Eagle spoke, letting go.

"Wait...no! NOT LIKE THIS!" he cried before crashing down in a parking lot. "Ugh...that was unfair…" he groaned, getting up as Eagle landed there. The others arriving in Mobian form as Eagle reverted to Yamato.

"Okay, we know the plan, right?" Yamato said as they all took out their headphones and put them on.

"Matte!" Sela spoke as she pulled out a silver scarf before wrapping it around her face to cover her ears, taking her friends by surprise. She then pulled out the blue motorcycle helmet and put it on over her head and the earphones. "My sound proofing is prepared!" she shouted, pointing at a real motorcycle.

"Sela…" Amu corrected her by pointing her hand over at Yabiker.

"You guys mind hurrying up!?" Yabiker complained, standing back up.

"Shut up."

"This might take care of sound, but can you even see?" Yamato asked, waving his hand infront of Sela.

"I can see fine." Sela said, slapping his hand away as she turned toward Amu to her left, Amu quickly pointing her to Yamato on her right.

"If...you say so…" Tusk muttered, unsure of this plan. "Anyway let's just take care of this guy."

=EAGLE~SHARK~ELEPHANT~TIGER!=

"Honno Kakusei!" they all called out transforming, only ZyuohShark still had the motorcycle helmet on over her Zyuohger helmet.

"I ...can't tell..did she get her helmet?" Tiger whispered.

"I think I can see it behind the visor," Eagle replied.

"HURRY UP SO I CAN MAKE YOU WEAR TRAFFIC CONES AND SMACK EACH OTHER WITH USED PLUNGERS DAMMIT!" Yabiker stomped his foot.

"Just for that...I'm gonna stomp him to death." Elephant said as they all pulled out their swords.

"Alright, then take this mah version 2!" Yabiker said as he aimed and charged up his sound blast, "Bwananana-nananana!" he roared unleashing it as the Zyuohgers ran through it.

After a few seconds, Eagle, Elephant and Tiger stopped as their headphones began sparking before exploding off their helmets. Shark stopped and looked back at her friends who were left standing in place.

"Uh…" Eagle groaned as markings formed under his eyes behind his mask.

"Ugh…" Elephant groaned as the same happened.

"Auh…" Tiger did the same.

"Guys...guys?" Shark asked in worry.

"Bwanana-nanana!" they all shouted as they began swinging around randomly. Tiger and Elephant slashed Eagle across his back, only for the Red warrior to turn around and slash them both, knocking them back.

"Eh?!" Shark complained, seeing that as the three began fighting. "Please tell me Roll isn't recording this?"

"Huh...he did upgrade himself...Tusk owes me money." Tails sighed, watching via a cam in the helmet Sela used.

"Ah...the Deathgalien is back." Leo spoke as his tail shot up as the trio walked out of Daisuke's apartment, "That bastard...I'ma beat his metal face in."

"Yeah. We already know the key anyway." Sonic smirked.

"That's right, which means we got nothing to worry about, I got this." Leo smirked.

"Oh...Your tails are doing that thing again." Daisuke said as Leo's longer tail lifted up.

"Yeah. That guy who made you bust open your hand is back." Sonic said, "But we got him handled."

"How?"

"Simple: you gotta be louder."

"Yeah!" Leo roared, making the apartment building rumble, "I'mma stop holding back my voice!"

"You...you've been holding back?" Sonic blinked, surprised.

"Of course, Pops is a businessman and he showed me a trick to control my volume, Ma doesn't know it." he explained as things suddenly made sense in Sonic's mind.

"And yet you're still the quietest in your family."

"He's quiet?!" Daisuke blinked.

"No one likes to talk of the time Leo's mom got mad." Sonic shivered.

"That bastard is mine!" Leo smirked as he walked off.

"Oh wait!" Daisuke said as he gave Leo the headphones he was wearing, "Here...use these." he smirked.

"Oh...thanks." Leo smiled.

"Come on, Daisuke, you got an audition to get to." Sonic reminded. "Leo, I'm gonna let you enjoy this one on your own. I'm going to where the music is."

"You got it, Sonic! I'll take that bastard down in no time!" Leo cheered, "You make sure Daisuke gets to his audition with no problems!"

"Who do you take me for?" Sonic replied as they raised their arms and tapped their forearms together.

"Bwanana!" Eagle shouted as he punched Elephant across the helmet.

"Nanana!" Elephant shouted, tackling into him.

"Guys stop!" Shark called out only for Tiger to punch her across the helmet, cracking the visor.

"Ah...mou!" Shark complained.

"That just leaves you left blue one." Yabiker stated pointing at Shark, "I'll blast you up close and then watch the four Zyuohgers tear each other apart!" he said aiming at her, "Get ready to be driven crazy!"

"I found you now, you noisy punk!" Leo shouted as he arrived, making Yabiker turn to him, "I've had enough of your no rhythm noise pollution!"

"Nani?!" Yabiker shouted.

Daisuke sat in a green room for the people who were out to audition. He was currently using medical tape to keep his fingers closed over a guitar pick. Sonic sat across from him, cringing from understanding the pain he was feeling. Sonic took a second before he walked over to him.

"Hey...can I see that medalion real quick?" he asked.

"Sure." Daisuke said pulling it out of his jacket pocket.

"Thanks." Sonic said as he turned it into a guitar, "Here...use this."

"Eh...but isn't this yours?" Daisuke asked shocked.

"It's one time only, man. Your hand is hurt...so let this baby make up a little for it. It will let you play the song in your heart." he smirked with the fingers of his other hand crossing, "Think of it as a little handicap."

"Oh...I'm not sure I get it...but thanks." he nodded, taking it, "I promise to give it back right after."

"I know you will, man." Sonic chuckled, patting his shoulder. "Make sure you save tickets for me and Leo once you go pro."

"Daisuke, I'm gonna put these to good use." Leo spoke as he put the headphones on before he reached down to the MP3 player as he turned it on and waited for the music track to begin.

"Leo?" Shark asked.

Daisuke took a deep breath as he stood in the sound booth, Sonic giving him a thumbs up from the door. Daisuke held up the borrowed guitar as he took a moment to adjust to it's build, it's weight, and get a feel for the strings tensile strength. He had to admit...this guitar was perfect, everything seemed perfect for him. He then strum the strings as the sound echoed through his very being. He took a deep breath, his hand may still hurt but...it was feeling less, and his nerves and worry melted away.

Manic froze as he heard a guitar riff, "...There you are, bro." he grinned, running to where he heard it.

Sonia blinked, hearing the same sound , "...We found a reason to play again, huh? ...Okay. Playing always cheered me up!" she smiled before running off as well.

Daisuke opened his eyes as he got a thumbs up from the people holding the audition and from Sonic. He nodded before he strummed a guitar solo while shaking his head. He winced a few times but he powered through and let his song play.

Leo raised his head as the same song played on his headphones. Leo breathed in, letting the music overtake him. "rrrrr...RAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" he roared, sending out a shock-wave that shook the very ground.

Yabiker backed away from the shockwave as it shook his entire body. Leo then crouched down on the ground as his fingers grinded against the road. He then took off in a mad sprint.

"Leo, headphones won't be enough!" Shark called out in worry.

"Time to drive you wild!" Yabiker shouted, aiming and unleashing his Bwanana Noise.

"SHUT UP!" Leo roared at his maximum volume, unleashing a sound blast that overpowered Yabiker's.

"Nani!?" Yabiker gasped at seeing that happen as Shark gasped.

"I don't wanna hear any more…" Leo grunted as he jumped into the air, "Of your Nasty noise!" he shouted as he punched Yabiker in the face and caused his metal face to crack as oil-like blood escaped from the wound. The Deathgalien cried in pain as he held his face stopping the flow of oil/blood.

"Leo's loud mouth overpowered his noise." Shark spoke in utter shock.

"Bastard! I'm not gonna let anyone be louder then me!" Yabiker shouted, blasting his Bwanana Noise again.

=LION!=

"HONNO KAKUSEI!" Leo roared while unleashing another sound blast, overpowering Yabikers.

"Nanto?!"

"All I wanna listen to is…" Lion roared, unleashing another sound wave from his voice, "Is Daisuke's…" he roared as he grew his claws, "MUSIC!" he roared, exceeding his previous roars while slashing his claws at Yabikers horn, destroying the weapon and leaving only little strips of metal as remains.

Daisuke grunted as he finished his set with a gasp for some air. He didn't know when he held his breath, but now that he finally finished he felt like he could breath in air. It was the sweetest breath of air he'd taken. Sonic looked on with a smile as he started clapping. Daisuke smirked and bowed to the reps before he walked off to greet his new Mobian friend.

"Did you get it all out?" Sonic asked.

"Ahh. Thanks for the support."

"I wasn't the only one." he said as Daisuke noticed a pair of green and magenta hedgehogs.

"Yo, dude. That was a sweet song."

"Oh...more Hedgehogs...Are they your friends?" Daisuke asked.

"We're siblings...and we're a band." Sonia added.

"No wonder you have such a sweet guitar." Daisuke smiled, "Once again thanks for the loan, Sonic." he said, giving him back the guitar.

"You gave us a nice song to listen to, so now we're gonna give you and the city a special concert."

"Awesome…" Daisuke smiled, knowing this was gonna be good.

"We got a song, bro?" Manic smirked.

"Yeah. I call it Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger." he smirked as he held up his guitar. "Come on, guys, our audience is waaaitting."

"Oh yeah." Manic and Sonia smiled as Sonic blurred off, taking them with him.

"Grr!" Lion growled as Yabiker cried in pain.

"Ah…?" the others all blinked, regaining control.

"Wha...what happened?" Tiger asked as she realized she was jamming a used plunger on Elephant's mask.

'First Sela now Amu…' Elephant thought, both his eyes twitching madly.

"Did we get hit?" Eagle asked at the bottom of the dog pile.

"Believe it or not...Leo beat him by screaming really really loud." Shark said as she took off her helmet, revealing her normal one on underneath.

"...It's simple but effective. Only Leo would make it work." Eagle sighed as Lion chuckled.

"Whoo hoo! We're in time." Sonic smirked, arriving with Sonia and Manic.

"Oh Sonic!" Lion cheered, "Daisuke do great?!"

"Like you even had to ask." Sonic said, "As a reward, I'm gonna give him a special song." he said before taking out Caliburn, "Leo, use this to do my part in this fight."

"Wait, Knave, no no n…" he started before he was tossed to Lion.

"Sonic, what are you…" Eagle blinked in confusion before Manic summoned a gold and silver drum set, Sonia a gold and silver piano keyboard, and Sonic's faithful guitar.

"It's the Underground come back party! Let's go for a wild return with our new number Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger!"

"Let's go, guys!" Lion ordered as everyone formed around him just as Roll arrived with her usual stuff.

"Savvanah no Ouja!" Lion started first as he swung around Caliburn as lightning rained around him, "Zyuoh Lion!"

"Ozora no Ouja!" Eagle shouted whipping around his Eagriser as it sparked fire around him, "Zyuoh Eagle!"

"Araumi no Ouja!" Shark shouted as she did a backflip as water surged around her, "Zyuoh Shark!"

"Shinrin no Ouja!" Elephant stated stomping the ground causing it to crack and glow green, "Zyuoh Elephant!"

"Setsugen no Ouja!" Tiger shouted spinning around causing a sudden blizzard, "Zyuoh Tiger!"

"Dobutsu sentai!" Lion shouted as the others posed around him, "ZYUOHGERS!" they all roared as their teams crest formed behind them with thunder striking caliburn's blade.

"And that's our cue." sonic smirked snapping his fingers as manic hit the drums as he strum the guitar the sound seem to echo through the country. "Off in the distant sky, flying freely through the air" Sonic began to sang.

"What's with the singing?!" Yabiker complained, "Ah forget it no time to worry about my rep! Moebas!" he shouted as they were summoned from the coins.

"Kono hoshi you…" Lion roared as he ran his hands along the mane on his helmet, "Namerunayo!"

"With their gaze locked on distant hopes

Shining brightly on the faces of children."

The team charged through the grunts, Lion slashed his way past them using Caliburn before he charged at Yabiker the two clashing weapons before Lion spun around and slashed his leg.

"Eagle!, Shark!, Lion!, Elephant!, Tiger! Instincts awakened!

The ultimate champions, Zyuohger!"

"Yasei Kaiho!" the Zyuohgers minus Lion shouted as they all transformed.

Tiger roared as she slashed the Moeba's with her claws before she jumped and kicked one of the grunts. Shark grabbed a swing from one of the Moeba before she spun it around and kicked it into one of it's friends. She then charged foreward and into several of them as Tiger fired ice blades from her claws.

"With their wild powers

Protecting their kind here on earth

The unstoppable victors, Zyuohger!"

Eagle swung his arms around knocking the Moaba away with his wings before he spun around and jumped upwards into the air. Flying Moeba's tried to shoot the hero down only for him to spin around as a flaming drill and through all the flying grunts. Elephant grunted as he kicked five with one swing of his mighty legs sending them flying away.

"Burning hotter than than the sun

Their hearts are unstoppable, Zyuohger!"

Yabiker and Lion clashed weapons only for Lion to slide under his legs. Yabiker blinked and turned around only to get slashed across his chest making him stumble back. Lion grunted as he stepped forward and kicked Yabiker into the chest. Lion roared as he slashed the Deathgalian across the chest several more times before slashing his bat out of his hand.

"Tell me now, have you ever heard

About this world and its ancient past?"

Eagle and Tiger slashed through the Moeba with their swords. The two stood back to back before spinning around one another and swinging their sword whipping up fire and ice in a tornado that lifted the grunts high into the air.

"A time when people and animals walked hand in hand

And helped each other through life"

Elephant and Shark held up their guns as they began charging energy. The two roared as they pulled the triggers. The blasts escaped as images of Cube Shark and Elephant that crashed into all the grunts clearing them away.

"Eagle!, Shark!, Lion!, Elephant!, Tiger! Beasts Unleashed!

The kings among beasts! Zyuohger!"

"Ha!" Lion roared clashing weapons with Yabiker again as the two pushed one another back. Yabiker roared as he backed away as the others joined in cornering the the Deathgalien grunted as he backed away before he blurred forward and around them.

"Let your wishes ring out

As you dash across Mother Earth!"

The Zyuohgers all grunted as Yabiker crashed into all of them, knocking them down. Lion roared, getting up as he charged into and tackled Yabiker. The two began pushing against one another before pushing each other away.

"Conquering land, sea, and air now, Zyuohger!

They're as strong as they are kind"

Lion held up Caliburn as the others put their hands on his shoulder, causing a burst of energy to escape the sacred sword's blade which formed a lion made of thunder.

"Their hearts are the symbols that they're champions"

"I'm tired of the stupid noise that comes out of you!" Lion roared, swinging the sword and sending the Lion forward, crashing into Yabiker and causing an explosion that sent him stumbling away, the Dathgalien groaned as his entire body was covered in electricity.

"Minna, let's end this for good!" Lion roared.

"Honno Kakusei!" Eagle shouted, pushing his mask up making him beef up as he transformed. "Jungle no Ouja! Zyuoh Gorilla!"

"Sanjou~!" Tiger cheered, posing next to him.

"Whoa! Yamato beefed up!" Manic shouted, seeing the new form.

Gorilla jumped as Elephant leaned back before the red warrior landed on his knees. Tiger and Shark held him in place as Lion grew his claws on his right hand. Gorilla roared as he absorbed the energy of the others as Lion scratched his claws across Caliburn. Gorilla's fist began glowing with red energy as Caliburn was covered in a yellow aura of lightning. Gorilla formed a giant fist of raw red energy as Lion held Caliburn up as a bolt of lightning came from thin air and struck the tip of the sword.

"HA!" the Zyuohgers roared as Gorilla punched his energy projection fist forward. Lion slashed his sword down and fired a yellow energy slash that split into three more. All the attacks hit at the same time, overloading Yabiker's body.

"Bakana!" Yabiker cried as he exploded.

Gorilla jumped down as the others all breathed. Gorilla broke the silence as he roared and banged his chest like the wildman he becomes in this form. Lion roared along with him as the two testosterone filled heroes let it all out.

"Finally…" Shark sighed, rubbing the sides of her helmet, "All this loudness was giving me a headache…"

"WHAT?" Roll shouted, "SORRY! I PLUGGED MY EARS WITH WAX BEFORE GETTING HERE! WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

"Auughh…" Shark groaned.

"Roll!" Tiger shouted as she made a motion of Un-plugging her ears.

"OH! OKAY! ARIGATOU!" Roll thanked as she removed two balls of wax from her ears.

"Guys help!" Elephant complained as Gorilla grabbed him and Lion into a manly group hug, "Gorilla mode makes Yamato too manly for my liking!"

"Just don't steal a banana from him, Tusk," Sonic snickered.

"Gomen, gomen. I can just feel the power up so much in this form," Gorilla chuckled, flexing his arms for emphasis.

"Aw, so you missed our song, Step-Sis?" Manic asked.

"I could read your lips, so I managed to 'hear' the words to it," Roll replied before hearing a familiar sound, "And cue my favorite part of the day."

"This medal is infused with Ginis-sama's cellular energy." Naria spoke as she slotted the medal into Yabiker's head. "Please try not to waste it." she spoke, backing away before the same process happened.

"Thank you, Naria!" Yabiker roared, growing to 50 meters in height.

"...Dude...D...Does this happen all the time?" Manic asked, looking at Sonic.

"How...she just...what?" Sonia nearly fainted.

"Near as we can tell, the coin the green lady, Naria-san from what they always say, puts inside the Deathgaliens when they're defeated once is infused with the power of their boss Ginis." Roll explained.

"And it seems it has the power to not only revive the recently deceased but cause massive expansion of cellular walls and power augmentation." Gorilla added, walking up to them.

"And this is the part that Roll loves best," Tiger giggled.

"Huh?" the two siblings asked as Roll ran off to a safe distance.

"Yamato, you're the leader here." Sonic smirked, patting his arm before shaking his hand, "Man...them biceps are hard." he chuckled weakly.

"Minna, let's roll out the Cube Animals!" Gorilla ordered, banging his chest loudly.

"Zyuoh Cubes!" the five shouted as the Cube Animals came out, growing to their giant size.

"Kita!" Roll cheered as the Cube Animals raced across the road, "The Zyuoh Cubes have come out for another great Giant Battle!"

"Let's take this wannabe Bōsōzoku down Cube Gorilla!" ZyuohGorilla roared, piloting his Cube animal.

Cube Gorilla roared as it's Wild Cannon fired, unleashing shot after shot on Yabiker, making him stumble back and into a building. Gorilla then pushed itself up with its arms and folded back into cube form before slamming into the Deathgalien's chest. Yabiker cried, backing away even more as Gorilla transformed back while shouting and banging its chest with its powerful arms.

"As since his debut, Cube Gorilla is a fearsome one in battle! Though...I have to ask this…" Roll sweatdropped, "How are the buildings always fixed so fast after they're destroyed on a near-daily basis?"

"Ya know...I ask myself that too." Sonic muttered, making Roll squeak and turn to see the trio standing by her, "I guess Tails was right...this country is so used to these things...they are just fast on the fixing."

They all looked back as Cube Elephant and Tiger attacked Yabiker, making him back away again.

"Yamato, let's take this guy down!" Tiger cheered.

"Let's make him pay for making us act all crazy!" Elephant added.

"Wakata!" Gorilla roared as they twisted their cubes.

"Ah! Here it comes! Here it comes!" Roll cheered, "The almighty Jungle Master!"

=YON~GO~ROKU! ZYUOH~WILD~!=

"Zyuoh Wild kasei!" the three pilots shouted as Zyuoh Wild landed and held up its firearm.

"...Okay, I'll bite. What just happened? It's like they turned into a totem pole robot or something," Manic blinked a few times.

"That's Zyuoh Wild. Kind of a new robot. Before this, their main was Zyuoh King using Eagle," Sonic informed, "This guy is a major powerhouse though, while King seems more weapon based."

"Very true. Ah! And here comes Yabiker with a charge!" Roll noted as Yabiker turned into a blur, dodging the shots of the firearm, "Ah! He's using his speed to dodge Zyuoh Wild's shots! This feels annoying when it's on the other end!"

"He moves too fast!" Tiger complained.

"I have an idea!" Gorilla roared, standing up as he pulled out Cube Eagle, "Eagle, lend Leo and Sela your power!" he said as it chirped and flew out.

Everyone watched Cube Eagle fly out before shooting at Yabiker, keeping him from getting away. Eagle flew around Lion and Shark, who roared in understanding as they jumped into the air.

"Eh? Is this…? It is!" Roll gasped, seeing Eagle, Shark, and Lion go through their square rings, "I thought that they needed all three, but sugei! Here he comes! The King of the Cube Animals with three Cube Animals and two Zyuohgers!"

=ZYUOH~KING~!=

"Kasei Zyuoh King!" Shark and Lion shouted, piloting the mecha.

(cue: Dobutsu Gattai Zyuoh King theme)

"Feels weird not having Yamato in here," Shark noted.

"But this means double trouble for this nasty noise bastard!" Lion shouted, "You're not gonna drown out my Rock-N-Roll ever again!"

"Two on one! Ah! There goes Yabiker again, dodging Zyuoh Wild's shots but is tripped up by Zyuoh King!" Roll cheered.

"Gah...unfair...How can you guys do that!?" Yabiker groaned as he got up.

"We don't want to hear that from a Deathgalien!" the five Zyuohgers and other Mobians shouted in unison as the two mecha's punched Yabiker in what should be his nose.

"Gah! What did I trigger?!" the Deathgalian asked as Wild punched him in the face repeatedly with boxer skills before King then charged and slashed him across the chest.

King slashed Yabiker again before Wild aimed and fired at the alien point blank, making him stumble back. Yabiker roared and swung with his bat, only for King to block with its kingsword. Wild charged as it punched Yabiker in the chest, making him back away as sparks rained.

"They've got him on the ropes!" Manic cheered, "Come on! Give him the building!"

"The building?" Sonia and Roll repeated.

"They don't have a giant chair," Manic defended, earning a sigh and facepalm from the two.

Zyuoh King moved to grab a building, only for Wild to stop it and snort as if in disappointment. Wild then pointed its fist at Yabiker, making King bow its head in apology.

"And it seems that Zyuoh Wild likes fairness in a fight," Sonic chuckled, "Sorry, Bro. No hitting the guy with a building today."

"That or they don't want to cause more damage to the city then needed," The girls muttered.

"Why you…" Yabiker growled as his horn aimed at them, "TAKE THIS! BWANANANANANA NOISE!"

"Ah! He can do that at giant size!?" Roll yelped, quickly shoving her wax back in her ears.

"NO YOU AIN'T!" Lion's voice roared from King and amplified to the point the city streets shook and glass shattered. Zyuoh King ran through the sound blast before slashing at his shoulder, cutting the horn and disrupting the noise generation, "Your fancy horn can't make noise if its bell is broken like that, huh?" Lion asked as the noise came out soft and weak.

"Oh! Good move, Zyuoh King!" Roll cheered before Yabiker picked up the broken part and whacked Zyuoh King with it ala an uppercut, "Gah! He actually thought of grabbing the broken part for a makeshift weapon?!"

"Teme!" Lion growled as Zyuoh King backed up.

"Zyuohgers," a familiar voice spoke before Cube Kiriin appeared and fired energy beams at Yabiker.

"Ah! Gah! Oi, my horn!" Yabiker yelped as one shot blew his makeshift weapon apart.

"Oh Nicole, just in time to bring in the little guy." Sonic smiled as she appeared next to them.

"Good job, Kirin!" Gorilla said as Zyuoh Wild helped King back to its feet.

"...That was the little orange thing I saw on Nicole's shoulder the entire time I stayed with Tails, isn't it?" Sonia asked.

"Hai," Roll nodded as Nicole appeared by them.

"You saved us, little guy!" Lion thanked as the two Mecha stood side by side, "Let's finish this with a double whammy!"

"Okay!" Tiger cheered.

King grabbed Cube Kirin as it transformed into Bazooka mode while Zyuoh Wild held up its fists as they began glowing.

"Kita! Hissatsu waza time!" Roll cheered, "And this time it's a double whammy! Yatta!"

"Kirin Bazooka Zyuoh...FIRE!" Shark and Lion shouted, aiming their weapon as it charged a large ball of energy.

"Wild Rocket Knuckle!" Gorilla Elephant and Tiger shouted as Zyuoh Wild aimed both its fists.

Zyuoh Wild clapped its fists together into a hammer fist that it fired as a spiraling rocket punch. It collided with the Kirin Bazooka's blast and merged into a giant spiralling energy cone. Yabiker gawked as the combined attack hit and tore through his body. The Deathgalien groaned before looking up at the two mecha as they turned away as the alien finally gave in and fell to his knees.

"When you have a bike ralley in my memory…" Yabiker spoke, "Make sure it's a big one!"

"YATTA!" Roll cheered as Yabiker collapsed in an explosion, "And another victory by Zyuoh King with the Kirin Bazooka and Zyuoh Wild!"

"Whoa...so...that happened," Manic spoke with a whistle.

"And Roll...Sonic, does...does she always do this?" Sonia asked.

"Every time there's a giant battle," Sonic replied, "So once every week, I guess."

"Once...every week…?" Sonia repeated.

"Twice if one of the enemy generals shows up and Yamato has to have an epic fist fight with him that levels half a forest." Sonic added with a chuckle.

'I am so glad that I turned off the camera before Sonia asked her second question,' Roll thought.

"...What is wrong with this planet?" Sonia paled.

"Alien invaders, demons, super robots, about a new invasion every few years, a new magical danger every year." Sonic listed, "From what I hear, it's like a goddamn miracle the humans are still a species." he chuckled.

"...Can we go back to Mobius, please?" Sonia asked.

"Nope. The cube's broken...Tails told me." Manic said, "Well...not told exactly. More like I figured that if he's here and still not out of here, that meant the cube broke. Plus..there's five of you guys...but six cubes, so one's missing."

"Wow."

"C'mon. It's common sense. If five of those cubes made Yamato and them super heroes, why would there be five when there's supposed to be six?"

"And there's my Nii-san's hidden depths," Roll giggled with a smile.

"It help me plan a lot of robberies." he said with a grin. "Hey, should we check on Daisuke?"

"Yeah, his results should be in." Sonia said as she and manic grabbed sonic who blurred off.

"Daisuke!" Lion roared as Zyuoh King marched off down the city.

"Leo!" everyone shouted.

"...Who's Daisuke?" Zyuoh Eagle blinked as he landed with the others, their Cube Animals shrinking down.

"Daisuke!" Leo shouted as he caught up to his guitarist friend.

"Oh...Lion." Daisuke noted, turning to face him.

"So...how'd it go?" Leo asked as he stopped in front of him.

"I didn't get it." Daisuke sighed.

"Eh?" Leo blinked, "Gomen!" he shouted, getting on his knees and bowing to him, "It's all my fault." he sighed as he sat up, "Alright...hit me to your heart's content!" he said, closing his eyes.

"I'm not gonna hit you." Daisuke smiled as the two ignored the group of Mobians and single human who arrived to watch them.

"Eh?"

"You were right. I was happy I came. I would have regretted not coming." Daisuke smiled before he took out a card, "After they made their pick, the head honcho gave me this business card and told me to call them next time I make a new piece." he smiled.

"That's great!" Leo roared, making Sela hold her head.

"I'll be sure to call you once I get my next song finished." Daisuke smiled, Leo smiled and put Daisuke's headphones on him as everyone realized what he was about to do.

"Leo...no...no no no!" Sela begged.

"SUGEI!" Leo roared, shaking the ground with a powerful shockwave. Sela's eyes rolled back into her head as she groaned while reverting to Mobian form.

"Sela!?" Yamato panicked, as the shark girl just flopped around on the park ground. "Sela...Sela?!"

"And Leo just probably popped her eardrums," Tusk cringed.

"WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Manic, Roll, and Sonia asked loudly, having stuck wax in their ears the moment he inhaled.

"Wimps," Sonic smirked. "Now all that's left is mother."

"Oh right...your Kaa-san is still missing." Yamato remembered as he lifted Sela up in his arms.

"It be a bit easier to relax if the Queen was here as well." Tusk added, "She could also know something about the King's Credentials that we don't."

"Like do they really make us kings...or you get the point." Amu corrected herself.

"We must never ask." Tusk said, looking at Leo.

"I think we should...at least while Leo's not around." Amu countered, "I don't want no more responsibility than I already got."

"Of course you would ask just to get out of working…"

"Well if it the King's Credentials and they all work in unison, wouldn't we need to be all in a unison agreement?" Yamato asked.

"Ah, quite the conundrum would you not say?" Caliburn chuckled softly, keeping an eye on the faces of the paling Tusk and Amu and committing them to memory.

"All things aside...I hope mom is doing okay...wherever she landed." Sonic muttered, looking at the sky.

"...She'll be okay. She's the queen after all," Roll assured.

"Yeah...still this is a rather unpredictable world. I mean imagine if she's not even here on this island nation." Sonic sighed a faint bit of worry.

"True, but being separated from one another in big distances hasn't stopped you, your siblings, or the queen before," Roll pointed out, "Even if it's a completely different world, you'll find each other again. Just like finding Manic-Nii and Sonia-san."

"I'm sure we'll find her soon, Sonic-san." Yamato agreed.

"Yeah until then, Sonia, Manic you too need to get ready."

"Ready for what?"

"My babies!" Aphrodite cried.

"Death hug." Manic and Sonia groaned, feeling their spines about to break.

"Aw~" Yamato smiled, enjoying the scene before his oxygen was cut off by fabric and the light snuffed out by fabric and large soft mounds, "?!"

"Oh~! Thank you-thank you-thank you-thank you~!" Aphrodite rapidly thanked, giving Yamato a hug.

"Hai, hai, it's okay…" he spoke, albeit muffled, "Ara...she's not as strong as they made it seem."

"You have Gorilla strength. Of course she can't bear hug you to death." Tusk pointed out.

"But she can smother hug him to death," Sela pointed out, seeing Yamato's arms flailing as his head was turning blue all while completely unnoticed by the completely ecstatic happy mother Mobian fox.

"A-Auntie! That's my job!" Amu exclaimed.

"Hm?" Aphrodite blinked twice before looking down, "Oh!" she let go and Yamato nearly fell over, "Gomen nassai, Yamato-chan."

"It's...o...okay…" he gasped for much needed air, "Really, it's fine." he sighed, taking a deep breath of air.

"It's a Sakurai Family method of expression," Nicole explained, "They tend to convey their moods through hugging, having a different hug for each emotion. Judging from the time, her obliviousness to your loss of oxygen, and the pressure of the hug, Lady Aphrodite was beyond euphoria in terms of happiness and gratefulness."

"Oh. That's good…" Yamato nodded, "As long as everyone is happy."

"At least you've got gorilla strength. The one time she did that to me, I was put on bedrest for a nearly-broken spine," Tusk frowned.

"Tusk's dad gave her a good earful," Sela spoke as Aphrodite shivered while she hugged Manic from behind with wide eyes, "Tusk's dad is very old school and can be kind of...cranky." she explained, seeing the look on Yamato's face.

"Cranky nothing. He was close to calling a legendary March," Aphrodite gulped, a far off look in her frightened expression.

"Legendary March?"

"Think of a charge in the form of a fast march that is known to level trees as thick as skyscrapers," Tusk compared, "I suppose Father is considerably more protective of me since I'm not as tall as a normal Elephant Mobian."

"Tusk's dad is super tall and scary," Amu explained, "Tusk is a runt, so he's our height."

"But we all love him no matter how tall he is," Roll noted with a smile as she walked out of the cafe's kitchen with a platter of drinks.

"Truthfully...I think I'm better off...Father can't enter restaurants and the Palace even had to make some doors taller to accommodate him during meetings." Tusk explained, "Me however...I can walk into the library with no problems."

"So Tusk's dad is overprotective of his child." Yamato smiled, translating it, "Even on Earth Elephants are incredibly protective of their young, so much so that getting close to a child is borderline suicide."

"Still...can't help but love Mom Two's hugs," Manic chuckled as he cracked his back before putting an arm over Sonic's shoulder, "And glad to have my Bro back, too!" he whispered, "I need dude time after being around Mom Two and Sis for so long…"

"You'll get plenty of that with Yamato and Leo around." Sonic replied, taking a sip of his drink. "And we got a fun world to enjoy till we find that final cube."

"We should get back to that soon." Yamato spoke.

"I would like to go home. I already miss Mom, Dad, and Jiro." Sela sighed.

"I miss my mom, too…" Amu pouted sipping her drink, "But...it'll all be fine once we find the last cube and go home. Till then, let's try and enjoy Earth a bit longer. There are tons of stores I have yet to give my money too."

"You mean Yamato's money." Tusk corrected as Yamato slumped and smacked his head on the counter at the reminder.

"My savings…"

"Amu."

"Uh oh," Amu tensed, her tail nearly going up.

"You've been spending Yamato-san's savings at various stores?" Aphrodite asked, her hand clamping down on Amu's shoulder as a glint appeared in her eyes.

"...Look, Deathgalien!" Amu, shouted trying to run only to be forcibly sat back down, "Oh...I'm grounded, aren't I?"

"Oh no no no no. Being 'grounded' is too lenient. Yamato-san, how much has she spent of your savings since arriving here?" Aphrodite asked.

"Its nothing. Let her be...besides a bit silly for an adult girl to be grounded at this age." Yamato chuckled.

"Yamato-san…"

"Ah...last time, she made a dent of 9,000 plus yen…" Yamato sighed in defeat, "It's really no problem, I'm helping you guys out I don't mind spending a bit of my money to help you."

"Roll, is she working here when it opens?" Aphrodite asked.

"Cafe opens tomorrow."

"Good. Amu, your paychecks go straight to Yamato-san until you pay back how much you owe him," Aphrodite informed, "There is being grateful and then there is mooching." she bowed to Yamato, "My apologies for my Shield Daughter's actions in the loss of your savings. While we are grateful for you giving up bits of your savings, it was disrespectful of how much Amu has spent. We will make sure to pay you back for the excess amount spent by her."

"Ah no really I'm fine with it…" Yamato replied.

"It's no good. Aphrodite-san has made up her mind. She won't let it up." Tusk explained, reading a new book bought for the cafe as he drank his drink, "Besides Amu's always been like this. She always tricked me into doing her homework, and Leo into doing her chores when we were kids. The only ones who could call her on her nonsense where Roll and Sela."

"Of course, now Tusk is better at it then us." Sela added, Roll nodding in agreement.

"Wait. So you own this place?" Manic asked.

"She does," Tusk pointed at Roll, "I'm just her accountant."

"Sweet. Any jobs for an in-house band?" Manic asked.

"Of course," Roll smiled.

"Manic...and Job?" Tusk muttered, "It's the end of the world."

"Kidding! Anyway, we play for free." Manic said, as he headed for the door, "I'll be back to visit."

"Wait! You don't know wh…" at that, Manic held up the advertisement card for the cafe, "When…"

"Later, Mom Two, Sis, Step-Sis, Bro, and Zyuohgers." he smiled leaving.

"We'll see him now and again." Sonic shrugged. "And definitely know what he's doing if we read the morning paper."

"Ano...what about Sonia?" Yamato asked.

"I'll be staying in with Tails and Miyuki."

"You mean you will be staying with Tails-chan, Miyuki-chan, and Nicole-chan…" Roll began before an indignant squeak went off, "...and Cube Kirin-chan?"

"I guess if they count." Sonia shrugged. "I'll be there whenever you girls need some girl talk." she waved, leaving next.

"Alright then...that's...that." Yamato shrugged.

ON: YEAH! ROCK-N'-ROLL!~

Z0: Whoo~ that was fun.

SZ: Whoo~! That was great!

GT: *Covering ears* THAT WAS LOUD!

O.N: and we're back readers for good, sorry again its just Kyurangers and Build and the finale of Ex-aid were very distracting...very distracting.

GT: That and we were distracted by real life, too.

O.N: yeah and i was distracted by grand order…*hears yelling* woman shut up and go to your counseling therapy like i commanded! Anyway we reunited the band, now so far only one missing is Queen Aleena the more things change the more they stay the same.

Z0: Indeed, we have a lot of things to begin.

O.N: now to make up for it here's Eggman!

"Finally we're back." Eggman panted landed his ship after escaping prison, an asteroid field, and a black hole or two. "Now we can plan...We will have vengeance!"

"Vengeance!" Thunderbolt shouted as other Mobians were seen in the back.

"How lucky were we for the rest of the Eggbosses to be in the same jail?" Orbot asked.

"About as lucky as being in front of that ruined temple? Also shut up, Meg." Cubot stated, a pair of glasses on his face while having a small 'ball' chin.

"No…" Eggman said, kicking Cubot into the distance, "Just no…Eggbosses explore!"

"Yes, Lord Eggman!" they all spoke up.

"Ah~ Now that's more like it...wah!" Eggman cried as a booby trap snared his leg.

-line break-

"Hmm..." Cubot and Orbot looked at the sight of a...whale attacking a dragon made out of water?

"So...this is something, right?" Orbot asked, taking pictures before zooming in on a red humanoid figure in the distance, "Too small to figure...but it might be useful."

"Shut up, Meg."

"Ugh."

"...I know this…" Eggman blinked, "Thunderbolt, bring in Lien-Da! Also zap Cubot, I really hate this voice..."

"Shut up, M-" Cubot began before Orbot smacked him upside the head, "Good morning USA~! I have a feeling that it's going to be a beautiful day~"

"It's...it's more tolerable." Eggman grunted as he waited for who he called over, "I'm waiting!"

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" a voice complained as a female Mobian Echidna walked over, said female wearing a black jumpsuit. "What is it, fatman?"

"The sun is shining with a smile on its face!" Cubot went on.

"Translate. It's in your people's language." Eggman ordered.

"...Racist," she sighed, looking at the scriptions, "...Seven Chaos Emeralds, the seal, god of destruction...free him and the world will end."

"..." Eggman grinned, "God of Destruction?"

"Oh good heavens…" Orbot sighed, "We're gonna unleash it...aren't we?"

"Gonna? I'm already on it!" Cubot said, banging on everything.

"Anything else I should know...you know like a magic sword that kills it?" Eggman asked, "Or like what's the deal with the red Moby Dick?"

"It's impossible to destroy that thing, just handling and sealing it. It's a god, you idiot. Gods don't die easily. Besides, it only won using the Chaos Emeralds when it wasn't at full power. So if it gets all seven and becomes its perfect form…"

"Yes, my perfect form." Cubot said, "I can't wait to absorb all seven...Do you hear me, Chaos Emeralds! We're coming!"

*CLANG*

"Alright...so...the whale?" Eggman asked as Orbot lowered the shovel he pulled out from Cubot's half-buried form, "I don't want no damn surprises."

"I don't know. It says nothing about the whale. It's probably gone. Besides, it says only a king among kings can control it."

"Well I doubt such a thing even exists, so… I'm not seeing any negatives." Eggman smiled, "Alright, bust it free."

"Fine." she shrugged, "Your funeral." she whispered as she messed with some symbol, making them glow.

-space-

"...hmm?" Ginis blinked, "Waking up." he spoke as he stood up.

"Ginis-sama/Owner?" the three Deathgalien bosses asked their master.

"Haha…." he chuckled very softly in a dark and ominous tone, "Hahahah-hahaha-ha!" he cackled, "I feel...a wonderful game shall soon begin. One...I don't want to miss, one I must have a part in." he spoke, holding up his hands, "I...want...it." he said, crushing several coins in his hand.

"What shall I do? Ginis-sama, command me." Naria bowed.

"Naria...I'm going to give you an energy signature. Find it, discover what its source is, who has found it, and report back to me immediately as soon as you do." Ginis ordered, "Quval, you shall take over games for now. Send in some real tricky ones and keep the Zyuohgers busy, so they don't spoil this game. Azald...once Naria comes back...go back with her and muscle your way to getting what belongs to me."

"Whoo hoo!"

"Game...Start." Ginis smirked.

To be continue next chapter!

O.N: ...oh...no….

SZ: Ah crap baskets.

Z0: That poop has hit the fans, let the big guns be busted out.

Roll: Why does it have to look like a rose?

ZyuohShark: You've done it now teme, you've really pissed me off by wasting this important day to me!
