(begins Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger opening theme)
Haruka oozora e jiyuu ni habataku
Kibou mitsumeteru shounen no hitomi
Eagle, Shark, Lion, Elephant, Tiger, Honnō Kakusei!
Saikyou no ouja Zyuohger yasei no PAWAA de
Chikyuu no nakama wo mamotte miseru
Zettai teki shousha Zyuohger taiyou yori mo moeru
Kokoro wa muteki sa Zyuohger!
"Dobutsu Gattai!" Zyuoh Eagle roared as his Cube Eagle folded up along with Cube Shark and Lion.
=SAN~NI~ICHI! ZYUOH~KING~!=
"Kasei, Zyuoh King!" Eagle Shark and Lion shouted in their control chairs.
Standing a few city blocks away was an already grown kaijin whose body was seemingly made from plants. It had a deep dark green cloak that was almost black covering its torso and closing near the front as coat tails hung around its waist and legs. Its cloak opened near the center of its chest to reveal its coin slot and black chest armor above that. Red tubes linked to its head which was a black color and its lower jaw drooped down and melded to its neck, leaving it as a creepy open maw ending in a large sickly green teardrop shaped gem. The top of its jaw looked normal with sharp yellow teeth and green-ish glowing eyes, rose petals grew from its head like long hair...or a really weird hood that dropped down to the shoulders where two large roses twice the size of its head decorated. Two leaves poked from the roses like shoulder capes as thorn covered vines hung down with it's green arms, even it's fingers looked like vines as well. The monster helt some watering can like weapon which ended in a pike like bladed tip and a bladed arch over the neck of the can.
"Red, Blue, Yellow...just three colors only? Not nearly elegant enough!" The Rose themed Deathgalien shouted in complaint of the Mecha's coloring scheme. "Try adding this as a bit of an accent!" he shouted, grabbing a steel electricity tower and ripped it from the ground, making its cables flail around while sparking, and chucking it at Zyuoh King who blocked...but the cables began swinging around and tangling around its back.
"Ah!" The Zyuohgers cried as electricity raced throughout King stunning the three pilots.
"Ohohohoho! Now that is truly beautiful!" The Deathgalien laughed mockingly at Zyuoh King.
"Ah! What a shocking upturn! Zyuoh King is entangled by electrical cables and being electrocuted by them!" Roll exclaimed, recording the giant fight as per norm, "...Wait." she tilted her head, "How is it still generating electricity when it's completely severed from the other lines?"
"That's what I want to know…" Shark grunted.
"It's the residual charge of the tower…" Eagle grunted, "The cables can hold a decent charge long after being severed and Zyuoh King must be...conductive!"
"It explodes?!" Lion freaked.
"That's combustible," Shark deadpanned.
"I thought that was the smelly pile in that isolated place in the gardens back at the castle."
"That's compost."
"Ohohoho! The bickering of small children minds. That is a beauty of amusement." The Deathgalian laughed at them.
"I'll show you something Beautiful!" Eagle grunted, grabbing his controls as he took control of King.
Zyuoh King raised its arms and snapped the cables again as the tower was crushed and tossed away from the buildings. Zyuoh King grabbed its sword as he charged at the Deathgalien.
"Boy...This must be killing you, your brother, and your mom," Sonic noted as the Deathgalien let out a frightened yelp at what just happened, "I mean, the bad guy has a rose motif, your mom's favorites."
"Please stop reminding me," Roll deadpanned, "Oh! Zyuoh King appears to be winding up for its finisher! Though...is it just me or does it feel like stock footage every time we see it in action?"
"King Sword! Zyuoh Slash!" The three pilots shouted as they inserted their changers back into the control cubes.
King slashed its sword as it dealt a triple slash to the Deathgalian colored in the three primary colors of the robot. It cried in pain before falling back while sparking from the energy surge to its body, unable to properly fight back.
"Oh the beauty! I hate to admit it, but what a beautiful way to go out!" The Deathgalien cried waving goodbye as it exploded.
"Oh thank goodness they blew it up at last," Roll sighed in relief, "I couldn't take another minute of seeing roses used so cruelly."
"We're home!" Yamato called out as he helped Roll bring in her stuff.
"Ah...I'm starving!" Amu called out happily as everyone was walking in and relaxing, "Hey, it's kind of early but what about lunch!?" she asked the others excitedly, "Or Brunch as it were!" she smiled noting it was still fairly early in the morning.
"Hmm...I have been wanting to try some new recipes from the western hemisphere of this planet Okaa-chan and I found online," Roll noted.
"Yeah!" everyone cheered in agreement.
"Roll, call up your mom and let's all go eat!" Leo cheered.
"Hai, hai, hai. She should be running the cafe today so I'll try that first," Roll noted as she walked over to the phone.
"I think I'll pass." Sela spoke, "Yamato, can I use that desk in Oji-san's studio?"
"Huh…? Oh sure, there's no problem with that." Yamato muttered.
"Thanks." she smiled while walking off.
"Maybe I should make a light snack for Sela-chan before we go to the cafe," Roll noted under her breath.
"Don't worry about me, Roll!" Sela called back from inside the studio, "I got some snacks hidden in your pantry where Leo could never find them. Don't worry about me. I'm an expert at taking care of myself." she then peeked back out, "Also...if you want to keep something from me, think it." she teased good naturedly while pointing at her ears, "Go out and have fun with the others Roll, I'll be fine."
"Ano...okay, Sela-chan," Roll nodded.
"Come on! Let's go before the commuter traffic hits heavy!" Amu smiled, already used to the bustling streets of Tokyo.
"Let's get going." Tusk smiled as they all stood up before…
"Hnn!" the Mobians all paused as their tails shot up again.
"Deathgalien!" they all shouted as Sela came out after them.
"Ikuze, minna!" Yamato ordered.
The Zyuohgers along with Roll and Sonic made it to the industrial section away from people. Before all of them stopped mid-step, skidding across the ground.
"Yoohoo!" the Rose themed Deathgalian greeted, already giant.
"It's already giant?!" Shark shouted.
"Hey, Roll, aren't roses your mom's favorite flower?" Sonic asked.
"...I'm going to go set up my equipment," Roll's eye twitched before stomping off, grumbling, "Lousy, no-good rotten aliens making a mockery of Kaa-chan's favorite flower…I thought they were supposed to be rock-like aliens or something like that..."
"Let's take him down fast." Eagle ordered, holding up his Cube Eagle as Shark and Lion joined him.
"Dobutsu Gattai!" Zyuoh Eagle roared as his Cube Eagle folded up along with Cube Shark and Lion.
=SAN~NI~ICHI! ZYUOH~KING~!=
"Kasei, Zyuoh King!" Eagle Shark and Lion shouted in their control chairs.
"Konnichiwa, minna~!" Roll greeted, all set up, "Zyuoh King stands once more against another deathgalien! ...Though I wish it wasn't a rose-themed one."
"Red, Blue, Yellow...just three colors only? Not nearly elegant enough!" The Rose themed Deathgalien shouted in complaint of the Mecha's coloring scheme. "Try adding this as a bit of an accent!" he shouted, grabbing a steel electricity tower and ripped it from the ground, making its cables flail around while sparking, and chucking it at Zyuoh King who blocked...but the cables began swinging around and tangling around its back.
"Ah!" The Zyuohgers cried as electricity raced throughout King stunning the three pilots.
"Ohohohoho! Now that is truly beautiful!" The Deathgalien laughed mockingly at Zyuoh King.

Zyuoh King raised its arms and snapped the cables again as the tower was crushed and tossed away from the buildings. Zyuoh King grabbed its sword as he charged at the Deathgalien.

"Roll, call up your mom and let's all go eat!" Leo cheered.
"Hai, hai, hai. She should be running the cafe today so I'll try that first," Roll noted as she walked over to the phone.
"I think I'll pass." Sela spoke, "Yamato, can I use that desk in Oji-san's studio?"
"Huh…? Oh sure, there's no problem with that." Yamato muttered.
"Thanks." she smiled while walking off.
Yamato stared into the studio as she entered before getting a piece of paper and a pencil. Sela then sighed as she began writing something in the written language of the Mobians, which Yamato was just learning from Tusk and Roll. He learned they could read Japanese and English on Earth...because well...they had those, too. But Mobius had a universal written language all species, clans, and kingdoms use to communicate with one another. Apparently it was taught in their equivalent of grade school.
Quval laughed as he held a hand up to his 'mouth,' "They're such imbeciles. Thanks to the effects of Hanayaider's Nightmare Perfume, they'll be stuck within a repetitive dream without a clue."
The four looked at a screen, showing the five Zyuohgers just outside of a building, all fast asleep. Some of them were even mumbling what they were saying after defeating the dream giant monster. The screen showed Sonic was flat on his face, knocked out, while Roll was fast asleep, holding onto a post of the building in her rest in a tight hug.
"Yeah, but where's your Player? What's he even doing?" Azald snorted, banging his fists together.
"Oh, he's preparing for the Game, I assure you," Quval chuckled as the screen changed to show the rose-themed monster was in some sort of enclosed space, laughing while watering a growing bulb of sorts the size of a water tower's container, "The most vicious carnivorous plant in the entire universe, the Cannibali Bulb. Considered to be outlawed in over eighty-seven galaxies due to its voracious appetite and for having caused the extinction of the Carnoso Sapiens of Planet Nyama...and the planet itself since it was a living planet made of flesh and meat."
=Ah! My lovely, how big you're getting!= Hanayaider laughed as the bulb began to grow even bigger =With my Nightmare Perfume, I've trapped all the peons of this planet in a neverending dream, a nightmare of always repeating one thing every single time! It's so deep that they'll never be able to leave!=
"And as they dream, the Cannibali Bulb will continue to grow, until…" Quval began to laugh at that as Naria tapped something on her board and the screen changed to show what happened to Planet Nyama, earning a mad cackle of glee from Azald at what happened.
"Amusing!" Ginis chuckled, "If your plan is a success Quval, it would ensure a complete victory for your team." he smiled as Azald gawked in realization that it'd be his loss if this worked.
"Thank you very much, Ginis-sama." Quval bowed in gratitude, but everyone failed to notice Sela twitch slightly.
"..." Sela stopped writing as she heard a sound...it sounded mechanical, at first but it developed into something...a cry? She put her hand to her ear in confusion, "Huh?" she blinked before she stood up and ran over to her friends/roommates, "Did you guys hear that?!"
"Huh…?" Yamato blinked.
"What was that?" Leo asked as everyone else tilted their head confused.
"There was a shout, like someone was hurt and needed help." Sela explained how it sounded to her fine tuned ears.
"Help?" Roll repeated, tilting her head.
"Maybe it was just something you could hear with your ears?" Amu countered calmly.
"But it was so loud, you all should have heard it!" Sela countered not so calmly.
Before anyone could reply, the Mobian's tails all shot up once again.
"Deathgalien!" Sela shouted.
"Let's go!" Yamato ordered.
The Zyuohgers along with Roll and Sonic made it to the industrial section away from people. Before all of them stopped mid-step, skidding across the ground.
"Yoohoo!" the Rose themed Deathgalian greeted, already giant.
"It's already giant?!" Shark shouted.
"Hey, Roll, aren't roses your mom's favorite flower?" Sonic asked.
"...I'm going to go set up my equipment," Roll's eye twitched before stomping off, grumbling, "Lousy, no-good rotten aliens making a mockery of Kaa-chan's favorite flower…I thought they were supposed to be rock-like aliens or something like that..."
"Huh?" Shark blinked after hearing Roll, "Wait...didn't we already...?"
"Let's take him down!" Lion cheered as they summoned their cube animals.
=ZYUOH~KING~!=
Zyuoh King landed before Hanayaider, the rose themed alien looking Zyuoh King up and down.
"Red, Blue, Yellow...just three colors only? Not nearly elegant enough!" The Rose themed Deathgalien shouted in complaint of the Mecha's coloring scheme. "Try adding this as a bit of an accent!" he shouted, grabbing a steel electricity tower and ripped it from the ground, making its cables flail around while sparking, and chucking it at Zyuoh King who blocked...but the cables began swinging around and tangling around its back.
"Ah!" The Zyuohgers cried as electricity raced throughout King stunning the three pilots.
"Wait...haven't we heard all this before?" Shark spoke up in confusion as the others overheard her via shared comlinks.
"This does feel like I've done it before…" Roll noted.
"No time for that! Hurry up and take care of that thing already!" Elephant countered.
"Ohohoho! The bickering of small children minds. That is a beauty of amusement." The Deathgalian laughed at them.
"I'll show you something Beautiful!" Eagle grunted, grabbing his controls as he took control of King.
Zyuoh King raised its arms and snapped the cables again as the tower was crushed and tossed away from the buildings. Zyuoh King grabbed its sword as he charged at the Deathgalien.
"Wait…" Eagle spoke up, "I feel like I've said that before…" he spoke up before he and Shark looked at each other, "And then when we beat him, he says…"
"I hate to admit it, but what a beautiful way to go out!" Eagle and Shark spoke in unison.
"Eh!?" Lion gawked.
"That...does sound really familiar." Tiger added as Roll nodded in agreement.
"Hey...now that you say it, today has been feeling really Deja Vu-y." Sonic added.
"Anyway...for now, let's just defeat him." Eagle shook his head.
"King Sword! Zyuoh Slash!" The three pilots shouted as they inserted their changers back into the control cubes.
King slashed its sword as it dealt a triple slash to the Deathgalian colored in the three primary colors of the robot. It cried in pain before falling back while sparking from the energy surge to its body, unable to properly fight back.
"Oh the beauty! I hate to admit it, but what a beautiful way to go out!" The Deathgalien cried waving goodbye as it exploded.
"Ah he said it!" Eagle and Shark shouted.
"He actually said it!?" Lion, Tiger, Roll and Elephant all shouted.
Everyone in civilian state walked down the street from where they just blew up Hanayaider. Everyone looked confused as they failed to notice golden dust rain around.
"There's no doubt about it!" Sela shouted, "Something really weird is going on. We keep repeating the same hour of the day."
"Like that movie Yamato showed us on Netflix about the guy trying to get to his wedding in one hour!" Sonic spoke up.
"So we're all trapped in some kind of illusion then?" Tusk shouted in confusion.
"That's it! It has to be! Like some nightmare that never ends." Sela spoke up giving her thoughts on it.
"A never ending nightmare?" Roll paled.
"We're stuck here fighting that Rose thing over and over again…" Sonic shook his head.
"..."
"Roll?" Amu waved a hand over Roll's face.
"...I have to keep watching something use roses for evil repeatedly?" Roll asked.
"If this isn't reality, what else could it be? None of us have telepathic abilities so how can we just share a dream?" Tusk pointed out.
"Well...if none of us can do that and there's nothing we know of that can…" Sonic fast-paced.
"...It's a Deathgalien trick," Roll groaned.
"A….nightmare based ability?" Leo muttered, "So...it's controlling our dreams?!"
"This is bad, who knows what could happen? All the terrible things in all our heads interconnected." Amu spoke up, she looked at the boys before backing away, "Can you guys maybe stay away from us girls...we don't want your pervy dreams affecting us."
"Oi, oi, oi…" Tusk and Sonic deadpanned, waving a hand before them.
"Wait...now that I think of it...it's hard to remember what happened this morning before the Deathgalien appeared." Yamato spoke, "But I remember...me and Sela talked about something important."
"Something...important?" Sela asked.
"Yes… It was something very important. It was...it was…" he struggled to remember clearly.
-Earlier this morning-
Yamato yawned waking up at 6:00 AM like every day. Yamato was an early riser, he thinks it might be a result of his Eagle powers that had developed into a habit, like the old adage, the Early Bird and what not. As such, he often woke up Roll and Aphrodite for the day while he went off to do some early morning chores to prep the house for the usual routines.
However, today he woke up to something different. Sela was already awake and looking out the window to the early morning blue sky, it looked wonderful at this time of the day, the sun rising behind the Mori home, making the view just beautiful blue sky. However...the look on the Mobain girl's face was not happy. Her lips were curved down into a frown and a tear fell down her from the side of her eye. In her hand was an interesting broach-like item with a glowing blue crystal in it.
"Sela?" Yamato spoke up, spooking her and making her drop the item in her hand.
"Ohayo…" Sela spoke, turning away and wiping her eyes.
Yamato blinked as he picked up the item. He found a button which he pushed on...causing it to light up. It showed a cube display and inside of it was a hologram, the video playing was of a family of Mobian Sharks, one was a slightly younger Sela standing next to a young Mobian shark boy with a baseball cap over his head, an older female shark mobian in a white sweater that looked like Sela's and behind them was a tall male Shark Mobian wearing a multi colored tunic over a suit like those used by divers, he also had a beard. All of them bunched together happily for the image as it captured them. Yamato's best and simplest guess, this was a family photo of Sela, her brother and parents.
"Is this...Sela, is this your family?" Yamato asked, looking up at her.
Sela nodded after wiping her eyes one last time. "I...I was really hoping we would have found the King's Credential...before yesterday. So we can all go back to Mobius, and I can return home to Meropis...but now…" she trailed off.
"Meropis?" Yamato blinked.
"It's where all Aquatic Mobians live generally. I live in Zyuland with the guys. My parents and little brother visit me a lot, so it's like we all live there." she explained "Today is my Parent's anniversary...and every year, all of us throw them a big party. Roll and Aphrodite-bachan cook all their favorite meals along with Amu's mom. Leo and Tusk come and help get all sorts of great gifts...and Sonic and his mom come, too." she explained, "But...this year...I'm here."
"You can't be with them back home…" Yamato said sadly.
"Normally...my parents are normally really busy. They are the delegates from our home, and often go to other kingdoms for political meetings. But each year, me and my brother drag them back so we can celebrate this day with them." Sela went on as she held her hands.
"You were out all last night looking, huh?" Yamato asked in worry as well as understanding, "I guess that explains why you weren't there for dinner last night...and why you're up." he chuckled.
"Try not to tell the others, please?" Sela asked sheepishly, "I don't want to worry the others or make Roll and Aphrodite-bachan sad about missing this." she explained, "They loved throwing this for them a lot...and I was always grateful for their help."
"Right," Yamato agreed before thinking for a moment, "Write a letter."
"Eh?"
"Write as if they were going to receive it," Yamato explained, "If you do that, I'm sure your feelings will reach your parents."
"Yamato…" Sela smiled understanding what he was getting at.
"Hehe…" he chuckled, just happy to be of help, before he looked back down at the broach, "I'm amazed by the things you have back in your world at times." he admitted as he touched the cube hologram before spinning it to show Sela with several other Aquatic Mobians posing for the images/videos being taken.
The two then paused as Sela's tail fin shot up. "Deathgalien!"
"Ah! Why so early?!" Leo cried from the bathroom.
"Augh...Roll, Breakfast to go please!" Amu complained.
"Why is your appetite your first concern?!" Tusk complained as they all rushed out dressed already.
"Because it is too early for these shenanigans!" Amu complained as she carried Roll on her back, as Leo carried her stuff, "Come on, Roll~! You have to capture the giant battle, remember?"
"Hehe…" Yamato and Sela laughed at their friends as they all rushed out.
-back to now in dreamscape-
"That's right!" Yamato remembered suddenly.
"What's up?" Leo and Sonic asked.
"If that was reality...then...Sela's Broach!" he remembered as he patted his pockets before feeling inside his pants pocket.
-reality-
Yamato's sleeping body moved around as his arm went into his pocket slowly...he then twitched as he felt a painful prick to his palm. His eyes snapped open from the pain and he quickly held Sela's broach in his hand as its pin had pricked his palm and was beginning to bleed. He quickly sat up as he took the Broach out of his hand as he wiped the blood off.
"It really was there…" he muttered before looking at all his friends' sleeping forms.
"Brunch...Roll...hungry…" Amu muttered in her sleep as she had crawled over and was nibbling on Roll's shirt.
*gabu*
"ITE!" Roll yelped, jumping up and landing by Yamato as her hands shot over to a bitten through part on the upper half of her chest, "Iteiteiteiteite~"
"Roll, are you okay?" Yamato asked in worry as he took off his black jacket and handed it to her.
"Arigatou…" Roll seethed in pain a bit as she quickly put it on and zipped it up, "Ite~ Who would cut me there?"
"Manju...buns…" Amu mumbled in her sleep.
"...Asked...and answered," Roll sighed before her eyes widened, "Ah! We need to wake them up!"
"Right!" Yamato panicked as he crawled over, "Leo, wake up!" he said, gently slapping his face.
"Hm...what is it? Breakfast time?" he asked in a sleep daze.
"Tusk...Tusk!" Yamato shouted, shaking him to no effect.
"I have an idea," Roll offered, dragging Amu over while keeping her mouth away from her body.
"Eh?"
Roll pulled out a salt shaker and sprinkled it on Leo's tail before putting Amu's head by it.
*GABU*
"NYAAAAAAAAH!" Leo cried reverting to Mobian form for a moment as he roared/screeched loudly.
"AH!" Sela cried, waking up.
"Attack of the killer alley cats!" Sonic shouted, falling over from the water fountain and into the water, "Help! I'm drowning!"
"Not the dentist!" Tusk freaked as he jumped up. He then sniffed the air...before falling over again.
"Ah!" Yamato and Roll shouted at that.
"His nose must still smell what knocked us out." Yamato figured as he grabbed him.
"No dad...I don't want to go to the dentist...he's gonna make my teeth tusks into little nubs…" Tusk groaned.
"...When I first met them, I thought Leo was going to be the problem child when it came to the dentist," Roll admitted as Amu was spitting into the fountain, trying to get the bits of Leo's fur out of her mouth.
"Ah...my tongue tastes the B.O!" she complained, "Ew ew ew!"
"Knave...Knave...the water's barely three inches deep," Caliburn deadpanned as Sonic continued to freak out.
"Ah...a...oh…" Sonic paused, before shrugging to Yamato, "Wha...what are the chances?!" he chuckled sheepishly.
"Tusk...Tusk!" Leo shouted at his friend, "No good...wakey wakey time, buddy." he said, dragging him over and dunking his face into the fountain's water, making him flail about before he got free, the water going up his nose and washing the sleeping dust out.
"Ah! What happened?! Did we spend the night at Sela's again!?" he shouted as he got up.
"Tusk-san, Tusk-san," Roll snapped her fingers in his face and earned his attention, "Wrong world."
"Ugh...I can't stay awake…" Tusk groaned, "The water in my nose is keeping me from smelling, but...my nose is too strong…" he sniffled.
"Clothespin?" Roll offered, pulling a green clothespin from her pocket.
"Thank you…" he muttered as he snorted the water out before using the pin to close his nostrils, "You know, a human face makes this easier…" he admitted.
"Does anyone remember what happened before we got conked out?" Sonic asked.
"I think...we picked something up with our tails…" Sela remembered.
"Yeah...and they are still up…" Amu pointed to hers and Roll's tails, "So it's a Deathgalien."
"Oh that's right! We were fighting the flowery jerk who can't decide if he's a dude or a girl in voice!" Leo pointed out.
"Then we went 'Honno Kakusei', and then we fought him here…" Sela added.
-Flashback-
Shark and Eagle slashed at Hanayaider with their swords, forcing the Deathgalien to back away, only for Sonic and Lion to tackle him from behind. Tiger and Elephant then slashed at Hanayaider, making the monster stumble back. Hanayaider raised his watering can weapon to strike them, only for Shark to kick him in the chest. As he stumbled back, he felt something behind his leg and made him trip. Roll whistled innocently as the alien rolled down the small hill, fumbling in shock.
"Ah...how dare you do something to a perfect image of beauty like me!" Hanayaider shouted, swinging his weapon around as the Zyuohgers and friends surrounded him.
"You're the freakiest flower I've ever crushed!" Lion shouted on all fours as he pounced on Hanayaider only for the Deathgalien to blast a green mist from the roses on his shoulders. "Nyah…." he groaned in confusion, wobbling around, "It's like...catnip…" he muttered, 'licking' his arm through his helmet.
"...Okay, that's freaky…" Sonic muttered.
"Admittedly, I've seen stranger from him," Roll sweatdropped.
"Ahahaha!" Hanayaider shouted, unleashing a larger puff of the smoke as it rained all over the Zyuohgers and their friends, "Ever so sorry!" he giggled as they sniffed it in. "Have a good day!" he waved to them, unleashing more and more pollen dust.
"What...what is this?" Shark asked.
"It smells so nice!" Tiger spoke as Lion went over and began nuzzling Eagle's arm like a cat would.
"Leo…" Eagle complained as he snapped out of it.
"What da hell did ya do!?" Lion shouted in anger.
"Uh…" Elephant groaned, falling forward. Almost flattening Sonic, who dashed away.
"Hey Tusk you...uh…" Sonic groaned, since he and Roll didn't have masks, they sniffed in more than the others, "Sleepy…" he groaned, falling onto the edge of the water fountain.
"Ah mou...my head feels funny…" Roll mumbled before collapsing against one of the pillar of a building nearby, hugging onto it as she fell asleep.
"Guys!?" Eagle asked before one by one, all the Zyuohgers fell over, their suits turning off in flashes leaving everyone asleep on the ground. "We're home…" Yamato mumbled in his sleep.
"Brunch...hungry…" Amu mumbled, her tail wagging in her sleep.
"I'm...Leo…" Leo snorted, shaking the ground slightly as he was facing downward in his sleep.
-end-
"That's what happened." Leo muttered, "We were fighting the freaky Flower Okama thing and then...sleepy time!"
"...Okay. How shall we pay it back? Weed killer? Bugs? Or better yet, sic Aphrodite on it?"
"..." everyone slowly looked over at Sonic with wide eyes.
"...Okay, I'll admit the last one's overkill."
"Ye think, knave?" Caliburn deadpanned.
"The only thing that'd make it worse would be if the Deathgalien hurt Haseo-chan in front of her," Roll nodded.
"Well let's just focus on finding him." Yamato spoke.
"He put everyone asleep for a reason." Sela added, as they noticed more humans sleeping. "He must have been plotting something dangerous while we were all conked out. It's why our tails are still all standing up. Something so bad our danger sense can't ignore it."
"But...where?" Yamato asked looking around with his eagle eyes, "I don't see...any destruction at all. Not even a fire...everyone is just sleeping."
"Where would a flower okama go?" Leo asked, "...Uh...I got nothing...girls?"
"Maybe…" Roll tapped her chin, "Oh! He may be using some sort of plant for his plan?"
"Just a little bit more!" Hanayaider laughed as he 'watered' the bulb that was quickly growing to the size of a house in an underground complex. His voice then deepened as he spoke in a different tone, "And then we can get down to business!" he shouted before giggling in his softer tone of voice, "Come on and bloom for me, Cannibali Bulb!"
The roots pushed deeper and deeper underground, reaching into deep underground caverns. Many vines, however, found an odd large purple cube to tie around. The Cube roared as it tried to open and strained against the roots.
Sela blinked as she got down and put her ear to the ground. She heard the cries of the cube miles underground.
"That's what I heard before!" she shouted, getting her friends attention.
"What?" Roll and Amu blinked, confused.
"Those cries I heard before. They were coming from underground!" she spoke, "That must mean wherever the Deathgalien is...he's in the maze of underground systems under Tokyo."
"Oh right! Like Yamato-san told us!" Amu remembered Yamato's brief explanation of how Tokyo had underground maintenance tunnels in many places, along with the train transit system and sewage systems.
"Sela-chan, can you lead the way to where the cries are coming from?" Roll asked.
"Follow me!" Sela ordered as everyone followed the Shark Girl.
"Come on!" Leo shouted as he and Sonic slung Tusk's arm over their shoulders and carried him off.
"Ugh…" Tusk groaned.
"Roll-chan Camera!" Amu shouted, holding Roll's stuff before following.
Sela followed the noise as everyone found their way to the doors to the basement levels in the center of the city. The most populated section at this time of the day with offices, businesses, and schools so close by...and yet, it was still. This was due to all the people fast asleep all over. Leo knocked down the locked doors as everyone began making their way through the maze of basement levels which interconnected buildings from below. Sela lead the team with Sonic and Leo behind her, weapons in hand. Yamato, Roll, and Amu helped Tusk keep up and as well as keep an eye behind them for Deathgaliens.
Sela led them down some stairs before she pointed down a hall where they could see...some...thing... glowing and pulsating beyond the opening. It looked like a giant flower bulb.
"Oh, I see those little bulbs growing in! Keep on growing strong and healthy, my little precious." Hanayaider cheered watering the Cannibali Bulb more.
"...It was bad enough the monster in the nightmare was rose-themed...but in real life as well?" Roll sighed.
"Keep up, Rolly! We all remember he was a walking rose Okama." Amu countered.
"Uh...I'm more worried...with WHAT THE HECK IS THAT MONSTROSITY!" Sonic and Tusk shouted, pointing at the Cannibali Bulb, "What flowers grow that big?!"
"No good ones." Sela countered rushing out as everyone followed. "Hold it right there!" she shouted as the others followed her.
"Zyuohgers and company?" Hanayaider asked, "You lot are a little too late! My beloved Cannibali Bulb is so close to blooming and once it does it will eat every living thing till nothing made of flesh is left!"
"Creepy!" the girls all shouted at hearing that.
"I never liked gardening! My ma always told me I ripped out the wrong plants, but this time I will get the right one!" Leo shouted.
"I don't think the normal method of ripping it out will work this time," Roll noted.
"I'mma do it!" Leo countered.
"Ah, you lot will make good mulch for my pretty!" Hanayaider shouted happily.
"We won't let that happen!" Yamato countered, "The world's not ending today!"
"Honno Kakusei!" the 5 Zyuohgers shouted transforming.
"Ozora no Ouja!"
=EAGLE!=
"Zyuoh Eagle!"
"Araumi no Ouja!"
=SHARK!=
"Zyuoh Shark!"
"Savanna no Ouja!"
=LION!=
"Zyuoh Lion!"
"Shinrin no Ouja!"
=ELEPHANT!=
"Zyuoh Elephant!"
"Setsugen no Ouja!"
=TIGER!=
"Zyuoh Tiger!"
"Dobutsu Sentai!" Zyuoh Eagle called out cracking his Eagriser.
"ZYUOHGERS!" all five finished as their team's crest formed out of energy behind them.
"Yeah...That...that's still weird," Sonic sweatdropped as he and Roll looked at the energy crest.
"I'll show all of you cuties a nightmare where your entire planet is destroyed!" Hanyaider laughed while unleashing his Nightmare Perfume.
"Kono Hoshi yo…" Eagle stated as he grew his wings, "Namerunayo!" he roared while swinging his arms and, to everyone's surprise, unleashed a powerful gust of wind which blew the perfume right back at the Deathgalien.
"Ha!" Shark shouted holding up her hands and unleashing a powerful torrent of salt water into Eagl's wind.
The combined elements formed a typhoon like tornado, the water collecting the Perfume's pollen and clumping it into goo which was blown right back to Hanayaider, who gawked as he spit up the mess that hit his face.
"Ew...ah...since when could they do that?!" he complained, "Quval-sama never said they could bend the elements to their will!"
"Ahem."
"Eh?" Hanayaider looked to his left to see Roll with her newly acquired katana glowing red.
"You do not deserve roses," Roll stated before swinging her blade, unleashing the energy blade from the katana and sliced off the roses while the katana shattered.
"Ahh! My flowers!? My precious flowers!" Hanayaider cried, "How could you!? You horrid little brat!" he shouted in his deep masculine voice.
"How could you use roses with that attire?" Roll countered, "Too many darks to hardly compliment the natural red of them."
"How dare you!?" Hanayaider shouted back.
"Leo, zap the flower!" Eagle ordered as the Deathgalian was distracted.
"Makasero!" Lion roared as he charged his fists with electricity before grabbing the Cannibali Bulb and started shocking it, making it shake.
"Ah! My Cannibali Bulb!" Hanayaider yelped, "You stop that, you horrid tacky lion, you! That shade of yellow makes you look fat!"
"Thanks!" Lion countered, not at all bothered.
"Pfft...Leo-kun is so masculine that female insults are registered as compliments!" Tiger laughed before she held her hand and fired a wave of snow and ice at the flower, making parts of it wither.
"Ah! Why?!" Hanayaider whined before shouting in a deep voice, "You are going to pay my florist for new ones, dammit!"
"Hai, hai!" Tiger cheered as Eagle and Elephant began cutting at the vines that tried to defend the flower.
"Roll, knock him down here!" Shark ordered.
"Hai~!" Roll nodded before turning to Hanayaider and gasped, "Oh my goodness! A photographer of Galactic Gardener's over there!"
"What?! Where?!" Hanayaider exclaimed in excitement before going deep voiced as he turned around and looked around, "I am going to get that cover this time and not that damn bitch from Viciss Volantis!"
'That's a real magazine?' Roll sweatdropped before performing a spin dash right into Hanayaider's back.
"Gah!" Hanayaider yelped as he fell over the railing and flat on his face on the ground, "Oh! My face! My beautiful, lovely visage!"
"Ha!" Shark shouted as she punched him across the face, making him back away, "You're going to pay for wasting my day!" she shouted, flipping forward and slamming the back of her leg into his face. She then rolled around him before grabbing his right leg and kicking his left, forcing the bulking Deathgalien to do the splits against his will.
"Gah! My legs...oh! They're cramping!"
"Ha!" Shark shouted as she curled her fingers like claws before slapping her arms like a jaw on Hanayaider's face, "Ha!" she shouted, doing it repeatedly as a chomping sound was heard from each odd clapping attack. She then slammed a palm thrust while unleashing another torrent of salt water, pushing the alien across the ground like a makeshift water slide.
"Whoa...Sela is in a bad mood." Sonic muttered as Roll stood next to him.
"Ah...looks like your sleepy time plan didn't work!" Azald laughed at Quval who twitched slightly.
"To think those damn humanoid beasts could escape the Nightmare Perfume's curse with their senses…" he groaned. "Tsk...and I had invested a lot in this plan, too." he groaned before blinking, "Light Bulb." he said before walking off.
"Where's he going?" Azald asked.
"Man...this thing is hard to kill!" Lion groaned as they kept trying to kill the giant bulb.
"Stop it!" Hanayaider cried, only for Shark to jump and butterfly kick him in the face, sending him tumbling back, "Why my beautiful face?!"
"Beautiful nothing! You're the single most ugly weed I've ever seen! And I should know...I live in the ocean! Have you seen Sea Weeds down there?! ...bleh." Shark insulted him as Hanayaider groaned as that insult alone hurt worse than any of her martial arts combos.
"It doesn't help that I can see the dye in your hair from up here!" Roll added.
"Ah!" he groaned, falling over.
"Well that was easy.." Shark noted before the Mobians all froze, feeling a painful tingling in their tails.
"Guess that cube guy's back," Sonic grinned in excitement.
"Oh, please...like I am anything at all like that literal blockhead Azald," Quval's voice spoke as everyone turned to see the gold and grey alien who looked like a robot/cyborg, "I feel insulted for being mistaken for him honestly, but then again... you can sense us through danger level...so I suppose that's fair."
"Who are you!?" Elephant demanded as he and Eagle joined Shark and Sonic.
"I am Team Leader Quval, of the Deathgaliens." he explained, "In short...I'm another General. I'm also his...boss." he groaned, pointing at Hanayaider, "If his power weren't greatly useful...I'd have traded him to Azald a long time ago…"
"Another...boss?" Sonic summed up, "Not who I wanted to beat, but you'll do!" he shouted, charging at Quval only to miss his swing as the Alien appeared five feet to the left. "What the...?" he asked as the Zyuohgers shot at him, only for him to vanish in a blink of light and appear somewhere else.
"I'm afraid I'm not like Azald and engage in direct combat. It's...barbaric." he sighed, teleporting next to Roll and making her jump in fear.
"Oi! Then why are you even here?!" Lion demanded.
"Oh...that's simple. I had an idea for new plant food for our Cannibali Bulb." he explained, grabbing Hanayaider's watering can weapon before he then sprayed the bulb, making its wounds heal.
"Ah! All our hard work!" Tiger complained.
"What are you even doing with that thing?" Eagle asked.
"Quite simply I need this to kill all of you, so I can win the game over Azald." Quval explained as Hanyaider got back up, "You, make sure you do a better job. I hate correcting mistakes."
"Hai, Quval-sama!"
"Also one more spray and it will reach stage two of growth." Quval said.
"Stage...2?" Shark blinked as the Deathalgien sprayed it.
The Cannibali Bulb began moving as the small spike bulbs around the base began movie before shooting off as vines that entangled the Zyuohgers and Sonic. Roll yelped as she managed to avoid the vines before they could reach her on the higher level.
"Nani?!" Roll exclaimed.
"Ah, so this is what it looks like to see one of them to run at this speed," Quval observed, "Interesting." he nodded as the bulb kept growing.
"Wha...what is this?!" Eagle groaned.
"Once our Cannibali Bulb's vines gobble up every living thing it will bloom into the galaxy's most spectacular flower!" Hanayaider explained, "I was planning to let everyone be devoured in their sleep so as to let them go in peace, but you all up and woke them up by destroying my flowers! Now they'll be awake when they are eaten by my beauty. How cruel of you all!"
"Wait...blowing up the flowers woke everyone up!?" Lion asked in confusion.
"Ah…" Mario yawned, waking up in his studio, Haseo sleeping on the table holding onto a plush bear, "Oh...I love one of those days where you just nap it away!" he smiled while stretching.
"Ah!?" Tails shouted, waking up while noticing he was asleep at his work table, he then looked up to see the piece of metal he was welding...was now melted all the way through, "NO!"
"Think anyone can come save us from this scenario?" Elephant muttered.
"I've seen-"
"Finish that sentence and we'll murder you before the plant gets to!" the girls all shouted at Lion, all blushing heavily.
"I wasn't gonna say that!" Lion defended.
"Leo…" Eagle complained.
"No really!"
"Leo." Sonic muttered.
"I'm not just saying that! I mean it! I wasn't gonna say that!" Lion defended himself.
"Leo...just stop," Elephant shook his head.
"Interesting interesting...the yellow one is the Azald of this group of beasts." Quval noted, recording this, "Clearly he is the weak link next to the one who escaped."
"EXCUSE YOU!?" Lion and Roll both shouted at hearing that.
"Hai hai...now Cannibali Bulb...take in your fill of their energy." he said as green electricity raced up the vines and shocked the Mobians and Eagle in its grasp. The vines then began glowing in their respective coloring scheme and seemed to absorb it into itself.
"AH!" Eagle cried as more vines wrapped around him and Sonic and drained more of their power.
"Interesting...the Red and Spiky one have the largest energy supplies." Quval noted as the Bulb grew and began to break through the ceiling above them and into the building above.
"Gh!" Tiger groaned as the vines kept stealing energy from them.
"Ah mou...What do I do...What do I do…?" Roll whispered under her breath before her ears twitched, "Hm?" she dodged another set of vines sent at her before pressing her ear on the floor, "...Sela-chan! Can you still hear the cries?"
"Ah...y-yes…" Shark grunted.
"I don't know what it is, but hurry...oh…" Tiger blinked before her helmet 'opened' and her fangs were bared, she then bit through the vines, freeing herself, "Ick! That tastes worse than the punishment food Aphrodite-Ba-chan had me eat last week!"
"What can do that?!" Lion cried as he and Elephant were dragged upwards by the vines, "Nyah!"
"God damn it...I don't have fangs!" Elephant complained.
"Ah!" Eagle cried as he and Sonic were dragged up next, "Girls, you got to stop the bulb!" he ordered.
"Yamato!" Shark shouted as her helmet did the same as she bit through the vines easier than Tiger freeing herself.
"I forgot we could do that…" Tiger sighed still tasting the plant texture on her tongue.
"Roll, why did you ask about the cries?" Shark asked.
"I think I heard something crying under the floor," Roll replied.
"Soka...the roots must have captured...something." Shark realized, "But what could be all the way down there?"
"A cute mole?" Tiger asked.
"Yamato-san mentioned that a lot of animals tend to make homes underground," Roll noted, "It may have caught one of them."
"Ah, the poor little thing." Tiger gasped.
"Guys...we need to save...the guys." Shark motioned awkwardly upwards as they heard their friends crying in pain as the bulb drained them of their energy.
"...Maybe we can take out two Eggman with one weapon," Roll noted after thinking for a few moments, "If we can get to the roots, we can destroy those and save whatever it caught."
"So we need to dig." Shark nodded before they looked at Tiger.
"Eh? ...M-me...why?!" she cried.
"Because your claws grow bigger than shovels," Shark replied.
"Mou…" she slumped as she grew her claws out.
"Oh no you three don't!" Hanayaider shouted, "Quval-sama, I shall take care of these three brats!"
"Yes, yes...you do that." Quval replied, more interested in watching the boys suffer.
"Amu-chan, start digging. Sela-chan and I will hold him back," Roll offered.
"Hai!" Tiger nodded before she gave her Zyuoh Buster to Roll, "Here. You make better use of this."
"I am sick and tired of you and your stupid weed wasting my day. Today is my Parent's anniversary...and it's bad enough we can't be there for them." Shark panted in anger while holding up her sword, "I...do not want to deal with you and your stupid plant!" she shouted as she charged and slashed at Hanayaider repeatedly, making him back away.
"Eh?! We missed their anniversary?!" Roll gawked, "D'oh...Okay! Now I'm double-murdering that bastard when we find him! But for now..." she ran around Hanayaider and began to open fire on him, "YOU'LL DO FOR VENTING!"
"Exactly!" Shark shouted as she slashed his watering can out of his hand. She then slashed him across the chest repeatedly before she spun and kicked him in the face.
"Ah...what's going on?!" Hanayaider asked as Roll slashed at his legs making him buckle down to one knee. He then gawked as both Mobian girls slashed upward, sending him flying back and into a wall.
"Ha!" they both cried, slashing him across the chest and making sparks fly.
"How you doing, Amu?" Shark called as she and Roll started shooting Hanayaider.
"I'm...I'm doing…" she said as she scratched at the concrete before the ground beneath her began cracking. "Oopsie…" she said as it caved in.
"Amu?" Shark asked seeing the hole in the ground, "She did it!"
"Yatta!" Roll cheered.
"Wow...ah! Girls, look! A Cube!" Tiger shouted from below.
"Another Cube? Like Kirin-chan?" Roll pondered.
"Hai! But...he's a big boy." Tiger spoke, "He's trapped in the roots! They must be taking his energy too!"
"Seriously?" Shark asked in surprise, "Ah mou...Roll, go help Amu, I'll take care of the Deathgalien."
"Hai!" Roll nodded as she jumped down into the hole.
"No! My Cannibali Bulb!" Hanayaider shouted before Shark slashed him across the chest.
"Roll!" Tiger called out, catching her with her arms and enhanced strength, "Have you lost weight? You seem a lot lighter then normal." she noted, putting her down.
'Not willingly…' Roll replied, hiding a cringe, "A little, hai. Now where's the trapped Cube?"
"He's right there." Tiger pointed behind her as a giant snare of roots held a purple cube that was trying to open.
"Oh! You freeze and I cut?" Roll offered.
"Leave it to me!" Tiger cheered as she held her hands before pointing them and unleashing a freezing blast from her palm.
"Ha!" Roll called out as she shot out at the vines as Amu's blast began to freeze them, proceeding to start cutting them apart, "Don't worry! We're getting you out as fast as we can!"
"What are...oh no! The roots?!" Hanayaider shouted, only for Shark to grab his shoulder.
"You chose the absolute worst day to mess with me!" Shark shouted, punching him repeatedly before she flipped forward and delivered a double axe kick to his head, knocking him down.
"Just a few more and it should be weak enough for the Cube to break free!" Roll noted as she landed beside Tiger after slicing a few more, "Amu-chan, the strongest freeze you can make please!"
"I'm a little tired, but I'll try what I can," she nodded, growing her claws while charging white energy into them.
Roll took in a deep breath before sliding her hand along the flat of her borrowed blade, causing red energy to rise up along the edge. Tiger let out a cry as she swung her claws at the roots as Roll let out a diagonal slash, releasing a flurry of white and red blades. The white blades managed to freeze the roots solid when they hit before the red blades cut and shattered them. The Cube Animal let out a cry as it managed to tear apart the last of the roots by folding open.
"Ah! It is a cute Mole!" Tiger cheered.
=CUBE~ MOGURA~=
"Who just shouted that?!" Hanyaider asked before the purple Mole-themed Cube Animal tore through the ground with its drill/nose. "AH! A mole! A gardener's worst enemy!"
"Cube Mogura…" Shark called out as the Cube Animal looked at her, "Uhn...Cube Mogura-kun...destroy that hideous weed!" she ordered, pointing at the carnivorous plant.
Cube Mogura gave a cry of agreement before charging right at the bulb. Its drill/nose began to spin rapidly and tore right into the bulb.
"I'm sorry, but Mole...AH!?" Quval shouted, seeing the flower now have a giant hole in it before Cube Mogura attacked it once again from above, mulching the entire bulb, "Impossible! The petals of the Cannibali Bulb are as hard as granite stone once it reaches maturity! How?!"
Cube Mogura cried as it stopped on the ground before digging back down and pushing Tiger and Roll back up to the level with Shark. Tiger giggled as she patted Cube Mogura's head.
"Good Mogura-chan!" Tiger beamed as Roll looked up and blinked twice.
"Ano...You may want to take a couple steps back," Roll noted as she looked over at Hanayaider and Quval.
"What?! Why?!" Hanayaider demanded as Quval took a couple steps back.
"A gorilla and an elephant about to land on you carrying a lion releasing lightning from its claws and a hedgehog with a very big quill," Roll replied.
"Eh?"
"Baka." Quval said, teleporting away.
"HA!" the boys shouted, slamming down their attacks on Hanayaider.
"I warned them," Roll shrugged as Tiger couldn't help but giggle and high-five her.
"Ah...man that was creepy." Lion groaned, tearing left over vines off.
"Never again…" Elephant shuddered.
"Hey, it liked us!" Gorilla and Sonic countered equally disgusted.
"..." the three girls began to blush with Roll being the only one displaying a nosebleed as they looked at Sonic and Gorilla.
"..." Elephant facepalmed.
"Interesting after having so much energy drained, they still move and fight...Just how much stamina do those two have?" Quval asked, making it worse.
"O-Oh my…" Roll stammered as another nosebleed developed as Tiger was now trying to fan herself and Shark was trying hard to not look at Gorilla and Sonic.
"Oi oi oi…" Elephant muttered, "I think the girls are getting the wrong idea here…"
"Hmph...So women on any planet are so easily flustered by idiotic things." Quval taunted, making them all snap their attention to him.
"Ano Quval-sama…" Hanayaider complained.
"I'll leave the rest to you." Quval spoke, turning away, "Try not to make me call over Naria. I will kill you a third time if you lose. Don't ask how, but I will do it." the alien said as he walked away.
"Chotto! Teme!" Shark shouted, chasing after him only for Gorilla to hold her back.
"Sela, the player first." he ordered.
"You can murder the bastard later, preferably with every single Cube Animal we have in their bigger sizes," Roll added, "The Okama who can't accessorize right comes first."
"EXCUSE ME?!" Hanayaider snapped.
"This has been a long day…" Gorilla sighed.
"I'm not going to waste the rest of my day dealing with you," Shark nodded, "We're gonna kick your ass with everything we've got!"
"Ikuze!" Lion cheered in agreement.
"The sooner we get away from the scent of burning plant, the better." Elephant groaned.
"I missed out on breakfast, brunch, and lunch! I'm so upset!" Tiger added.
"True...I'll have to make an extra large dinner when we get back," Roll noted, "So the sooner he's beaten up, the sooner Kaa-chan and I can cook."
"Sounds fair to me…" Sonic chuckled.
"You heard her boys!" Tiger cheered as she grabbed Lion and lifted him up, "GO FINISH THIS!" she shouted, tossing him like a missile at Hanayaider.
"NANTO!?" Lion roared before crashing into the Deathgalien, sending them through a wall.
"Tusk-Kun too!" Tiger shouted, lifting Elephant up like a human club.
"Doshte?!" Elephant complained as he was swung around and his head used to slam into Hanayaider's head, making him back away.
"Roll...I think you gave her too much conviction…" Sonic chuckled dryly as they watched Tiger's bout of enhanced strength.
"That's the spirit, Amu!" Shark and Roll cheered her on.
"I'm getting in there too!" Gorilla roared, banging his chest as he and Shark went next.
"Yasei Kaihou!" The Zyuohgers shouted.
Lion and Tiger roared as they slashed Hanayaider while running past him. Lion turned around and swung both his arms down, unleashing energy blades from his swings that crashed into the Deathgalien. Tiger roared as she climbed along the ceiling with her claws before pouncing down and pinning Hanayaider to the floor. She then raised her claws and began scratching at his face repeatedly making the alien cry in pain as ice formed along each scratch mark. Tiger rolled off before Lion pounced and jammed his left hand into the chest, his claws sticking into the alien's strange plant like skin. Lion then began crawling on his legs and right hand, dragging Hanayaider across the ground before he let go and let him slide into boxes and barrels.
Hanayaider groaned while getting up before hearing a trumpet from Elephant as he charged in on all fours and slammed his head into Hanayaider's abdomen, sending him flying into a wall. Elephant ran up and kicked the wall, sending a shockwave that launched Hanayaider off the wall and stumbling away. The Deathgalien then blinked as two blurs ran around him, slashing him from different angles and sides. Roll and Sonic came to a stop behind him before stabbing their blades forward and sending Hanayaider forward while screaming. Elephant shouted as he kicked his embiggened leg into the Deathgalien's chest, making him back away again and into a double Spin Dash to his back sending him falling down. The alien groaned, hoping it was over, only to look up as Elephant jumped into the air as his left leg began glowing. He trumpeted as an astral image of a full grown Elephant appeared around him as he stomped his foot causing a powerful green shock wave that lifted Hanayaider into the air and slamming into the ceiling above them.
"Ah…" Hanayaider groaned, falling down only for Gorilla to punch his fist up and catch him.
"Go flying!" Gorilla roared, tossing him away and through several walls.
Hanayaider grunted, rolling across the ground. He looked up to see Shark's dorsal fin racing across the ground like a shark in water. Hanayaider screamed in terror as he shot up only for Shark to jump out of the ground and swing her arm, leaving a blue cutting streak as she attacked him from behind. Hanayaider turned around only for Shark to jump out of the ground again and attack him from behind. Hanayaider swung around only to blink as the dorsal fin was going across the wall, Shark flipped out from her 'dive' as she rolled around into a spin dash that crashed into and sawed into Hanayaider.
Shark landed on the ground holding her Zyuoh Buster sword form before she charged and slashed the Deathgalien across the chest multiple times before she spun around him the ground becoming liquid like to her. Everyone blinked as they watched Shark literally 'skate' around Hanayaider with grace and skill slashing him every chance she got. Shark then shouted as she jumped up and over Hanayaider slashing his back making him stumble forward.
Gorilla roared, tackling into Hanayaider and into Shark, who landed a butterfly kick to his face. Shark then flipped forward before Gorilla grabbed her legs. Gorilla then began spinning around, swinging Shark around, their attack hit the Deathgalien leaving multiple blue slashes from her arms as fins of water formed along them. With the last spin, Gorilla landed a flaming clothesline to Hanayaider, sending him flying.
"Ite…" Hanayaider groaned, getting up once more only to see Roll and Sonic.
"You may want to look behind you," Sonic advised.
"Eh?" Hanayaider turned around...and saw Gorilla standing on Lion and Elephant with Tiger and Shark holding onto his sides, "...Ulp."
"Bye-bye~" Roll waved before the two ran off.
"Super Gorilla Punch!" they shouted as Gorilla launched a red fist projection that, instead of actually punching, lifted up and smashed down on Hanayaider before punching and smashing again. It then grabbed him before shooting up and through the roof and launching his body outside. "Todomeda!" Gorilla roared with the others as he punched his other hand and fired a second fist like a cannonball that crashed into and exploded on impact with Hanayaider.
"And that is the signal," Roll smiled on a hill just outside the city, looking out at the explosion with her equipment all set up behind her.
"Naria...continue…" Quval sighed, rubbing his bulbous head in annoyance.
"Hai."
The Zyuohgers walked out just as Naria arrived and walked over to the fallen Deathgalien body.
"This is infused with Ginis-sama's cellular energy," she went on as per usual as she kissed the coin and slotted it, "Try not to waste it."
"Thank you NARIA!" Giant Hanayaider cheered, standing up from the flames of revival.
"Just once...Just once...c-can they not grow into a giant?" Elephant sighed, "We should really shoot her the moment the coins show up one of these days."
"If only you were actually that smart, kawai no baka-tachi." Naria giggled as she teleported away.
"This time we're really gonna finish him off!" Lion declared as he, Shark, and Gorilla pulled out their Zyuoh Cubes.
"Konnichiwa, minna-san~!" Roll waved to the camera, "Hope you're all as excited as I am today for another giant battle! This time, it's a new Deathgalien by the name of Hanayaider who wants to contend against our champions with his garden of perils! So which Cube Animals are on parade today?"
"Ike! Today's last Dobutsu Gattai!" Gorilla, Shark, and Lion called out.
=SAN~NI~ROKU~ ZYUOH WILD~=
"Yatta! Standing on the legs of the King, Zyuoh Wild takes the stand!" Roll cheered before playing a gong effect on her Miles Electric, "And fight!"
"I'll turn your stupid building block toy into a new planter!" Hanayaider cheered while swinging his watering can weapon, only for Wild to backhand the swing away.
"We ain't gonna waste time making this epic!" Lion shouted as Wild slugged the Deathgalien, sending him stumbling away.
"Wild Cannon Beam!" they shouted, unleashing their guns full power blast at close range.
"Ooh~ Zyuoh Wild is not in the mood for a long battle today," Roll cringed as she saw Hanayaider get sent flying backwards, "Then again, Hanayaider did try using a Cannibali Bulb to try to eat every living thing on the planet...and wore the wrong sort of flowers with his attire. So tacky…"
"Nanto?!" Hanayaider shouted, only to be shot again, making him stagger back.
"Wild Rocket Knuckle!" the Zyuohgers shouted, firing their rocket fists.
"Oh no you don't!" Hanayaider shouted while pouring the contents from his watering can onto the ground before a flower pot larger than him suddenly grew around him and deflected all the rocket punches.
"Nan de?! What kind of liquid is in that watering can that it can deflect the powerful rocket punches of Zyuoh Wild?!" Roll gawked, "Ah mou~ If it can withstand a hissatsu as tough as that, how will Zyuoh Wild finish his rampage!?"
"It's real….solid…" Amu muttered as she had walked up to Roll with Tusk, "AH! That's it! Mogura-kun!"
"Soka!" Shark nodded as the ground shook before Cube Mogura shot out from the Earth and landed next to Zyuoh Wild, "Cube Mogura, please let us borrow your power." she pleaded as Cube Mogura nodded its head before it jumped into the air. The back of it's body opened revealing a handle as Wild grabbed it like a handheld drill/gun.
"Oh! Cube Mogura combined with Zyuoh Wild like Cube Kirin does with Zyuoh King!" Roll gasped.
"Another weapon-based Cube Animal…" Tusk tapped his chin while his trunk scratched the top of his head.
"Zyuoh Wild Mogura Drill!" the Zyuohger pilots shouted the new weapon formation as the drill spun. "Power Zenkai!" they shouted as they punched the drill into the flower pot, tearing through it until the front cracked open, revealing a pale Hanayaider slapping the sides of his face in terror.
"My flower pot~!"
"Sugei! Mogura-chan's drill is so strong! I bet it could pierce the heavens!" Amu cheered, clapping excitedly.
"Okay, no more of that show for you," Tusk deadpanned.
"Hissatsu waza time!" Roll cheered.
"Ike!" the Zyuohger pilots roared, channeling their energy into their cubes as they set them to finisher mode and slotted them back in.
Wild held up its Mogura Drill as it began spinning even faster while glowing with a golden cone of energy around it.
"Mogura Drill Zyuoh...BREAK!" the three pilots shouted as Wild began spinning around before swinging the drill as it tore through the rest of the flower pot and Hanayaider, leaving a large hole in his torso where his coin slot used to be.
"No! This isn't beautiful at all!" Hanayaider wailed before collapsing into an explosion.
"Yatta!" Roll and Amu cheered, hugging one another.
"And just like that, another Deathgalien's defeated," Tusk nodded.
"Hey...do we ever clean up those blocks that fall from them each time?" Sonic asked as they watched the cubes that used to be Hanayaider fell around the city.
"I think those police officers lead by that officer you tend to fight when you break the speed limit collect them," Amu replied.
"You mean the guy who's always chasing Sonic down like Sonic does Chili-dog carts?" Tusk pointed out.
"That was one time!"
"Six," they all corrected, "It was just the exact same cart."
"...Oh, you guys suck," Sonic mock-pouted before they saw Zyuoh Wild smack himself with a punch.
"...I'm guessing Zyuoh Lion-san was doing a sleep check?" Roll sweatdropped.
"Guys help! She's too hyped!" Lion cried, trying to crawl out of the robot.
"Ah! Ah, well...That's all for today, minna! Tune in for the next battle! Sayonarra~!" Roll waved before turning off the camera.
After that, everyone returned home for a large temporary-family dinner with everyone seated at a large table in the Mori home. On the table, Cube Kirin sniffed at a tiny purple cube before it unfolded into Cube Mogura. Cube Kirin squeaked in surprise before Cube Mogura gave a happy chirp.
"Oh my gosh, he shrunk into a little boy!" Amu smiled, watching them, "Look at them! They're adorable!"
"Seems you found another friend from our homeland," Aphrodite noted as she put a filled plate before Haseo.
"This is the second time something from our world turned up on Earth," Tusk pointed out, scratching his chin, "It couldn't have come with us. He was sleeping deep below the Earth."
"At least until that bulb's roots grabbed it," Amu noted.
"I think it has developed a...disdain for flowers," Nicole noted as Cube Mogura dived into a potted plant and began tearing up the roots.
"Cube Mogura!" Aphrodite's hand shot into the dirt and pulled it out, "Were you trying to ruin my rose that Yamato-san bought for me as a gift?"
"Ah, don't be hard on him Auntie! The monster looked kind of rose like." Amu pointed out.
"Please allow me to handle his education." Nicole offered, "He and Kirin seem similar. As Kirin's mother, I will take Mogura as my second son."
"AW~" Aphrodite glomped the holo-lynx, "So responsible~!"
"Are you sure he won't be too much trouble?" Yamato asked, bringing in plates.
"Yes, Mogura-kun is a wild boy." Amu joked as Mogura jumped around maybe too excitedly.
"Well, we all handle Sonic just fine. Remember what happen when he was locked up for a whole week and then got out?"
"Never again…" everyone who were there said, a shudder going off, "Never...again."
"Hey...I wasn't...oh..hahaha...oh who am I kidding?" Sonic laughed, "Ah…Man, that was crazy."
"Still, today's not about just Mogura-kun." Amu changed the subject, "We are all here to make Sela-chan happy! She got to miss her parents anniversary...so our job is cheer up the sad girl!"
"Amu, really...I'm not that upset about it…" Sela replied sheepishly, "I think I got...most of it out of my system. I just...miss them and Jiro."
"Oh…" Aphrodite hugged Sela, the shark Mobian feeling it to be gentle and comfortable, "Come to think of it...we're all missing some important days since we came here."
"Okaa-chan's birthday was last week…" Amu sighed, remembering.
"Tou-san was going to take me to the diplomatic meeting next month too…" Tusk added.
"Ah...my baby sister was supposed to be born soon, too." Leo sighed.
"It's the anniversary of our reunion with mom." Manic sighed, slumping.
"We...sure missed a lot, huh?" Amu asked with a sigh, "But...we will make up for all of it once we go home together."
"Exactly," Roll nodded, hugging a saddened Haseo, 'Especially if Eggman is gone for good.'
"Minna…" Yamato spoke up, "I promise to make sure all of you make it home. But until you do...you're free to think of here as home. I will find the last cube and make sure all of you can reunite with your families."
"Yamato…" Sela smiled up at their human friend/leader.
"Hmm…" Nicole muttered, "Yamato...what is your family like?"
"Eh?" he blinked, looking at her in confusion.
"That's right. Yamato-kun, what's your family like aside from Mario-san?" Amu asked.
"..."
"Who wants cupcakes?!" Mario cheered, coming in at perfect timing, "Get em now nice and fresh!"
"Oh! Your own recipe, Mario-san?" Aphrodite asked as she walked over, "Oh, they smell so delicious!"
"Thank you!" he smiled, "Ah! I forgot the best part! Here in our house, you decorate your cupcake with whatever you want before eating it! Yamato, go get the rest will ya?!"
"Hai! Right away!" Yamato nodded quickly as he dashed out as a red blur.
"..." Roll began to quickly check Sonic's quills, "No grey…"
"Hey…" he complained, fixing his quills back to how he likes them, as she began checking his siblings.
"None on you either, Step-Sis," Manic chuckled.
"Maybe it's from his Eagle power," Amu mused, "We've never really met Eagles, so who knows how fast their clan is."
"I'm literally the only hedgehog that can go hypersonic speeds. His only advantage is he can fly…" Sonic groaned, "This is not a debate, it's a fact."
"Cupcakes~!" Aphrodite cheered.
"Cupcakes~!" Mario and Haseo cheered as Yamato came in with all the sweets for decorations.
"Zzzz…." Eggman snored, passed out face down, it would appear not all the people on Earth had awoken.
"Do...do we wake him?" Orbot asked in confusion.
{I'm not sure} Cubot replied via sign language, his face painted white with a black beret on his head.
"...I…" Orbot slapped his face with a sigh, "Well we can't just leave him here all day. The Egg Bosses are already trying to get out of here and do lord knows what." he added, "We need Lord Eggman to rein them in."
{What about Lien-Da?} Cubot asked.
"Yes...as if she would do something like make them all stay here. She'd sooner send them all off and let them cause trouble and then let them get captured by this world's literal and quite stupid amount of armored and colorful super heroes." Orbot countered in a ranting manner, "I mean how many times has she caused some great mess that was blamed on you and me...too many for me to bother counting!"
{...Then should we get Thunderbolt to wake him up?}
"I...I sense a whole host of issues with that one too. Buuuuut…" Orbot paused, for a moment, "It seems easier...you go get the chinchilla."
{Okay} Cubot signed as he hopped off.
"Boy...I hope his setting doesn't get changed again...I like this new one." Orbot muttered to himself.
"Ugh...ugly flower man...make it stop...make it stop…" Eggman groaned in his sleep.
"He's been going on about that since he took a whiff of gold dust in the air…" Orbot muttered, "Though why an 'ugly flower man?'"
Cubot hopped back clearly zapped as he coughed up smoke.
"What happened?" Orbot asked upon seeing him.
{I startled her and she z-} Cubot began before glitching a bit, "Da damn rat zapped me! I tells ya, I try and say somethin' to her, and she gets all zap happy unless it involves fatass overhere!"
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL LORD EGGMAN?!" Thunderbolt's voice snapped.
"..." Orbot folded into his namesake orb mode and rolled away, leaving Cubot behind all alone.
"Hey! Where do ya think er goin'?! Come back here, ya pansy a-" Cubot began before he got zapped hard by an enraged Thunderbolt...which unintentionally resulted in shocking Eggman as well.
"GAH! I'm up! I'M UP!" Eggman exclaimed as he shot up, his body blackened from the shocks as her looked around, "What's going on?! Is that hedgehog nearby?!"
"No, Lord Eggman, but you suddenly passed out…" Orbot explained unfolding himself, "You were out nearly all day and the Egg Bosses are getting antsy."
"What?! I nearly wasted a whole day?!" Eggman exclaimed, "...That hedgehog is behind this! I know it! I bet he even gave me that nightmare involving that freaky flower guy!"
"So...Sonic the Hedgehog found us...then dropped sleeping powder on you that gives you nightmares of a Flowery Okama man...and he didn't...beat us because?" Orbot asked, raising a brow as a charred Cubot was dropped behind them still twitching.
"...Shoot. You're right…" Eggman muttered, "...Still, I'm gonna get back at that blasted hedgehog! But first...I need to rebuild as much as my army as I can!"
"Brilliant move Lord Eggman. May I suggest we also try and...rein in the Egg Bosses? I don't like the looks they've been shooting around...they look about ready to do something stupid."
"...Good idea," Eggman nodded before grinning darkly, "And not like they'll go against my orders..or else I'll activate that."
"Yeah, that!" Cubot spoke up in a happy tone, "...What was that again?" he asked in a confused tone to Orbot.
"...Why do I even bother?" Eggman shook his head as he walked off, "Also Orbot, slap him."
"On it…" Orbot sighed as he smacked Cubot.
"THAT STUNG!" Orbot screamed loudly, sporting a monobrow and a purple and white leotard.
"How….how do you get these changes?" Orbot asked, "I get the voices due to your faulty chip...but where...You know what? ...I'm done."
"OKAY!" Cubot replied.
