End OP)

Somewhere on a strange desert, all was silent. Suddenly the sound of a shell was heard flying in, which then exploded as the Ronins ran over the hill in full armor, and diving for cover.

"Did we lose them?" Kento asked.
"Far from it. Incoming!" Ryo shouted as the four dove for cover as another shell hit nearby.
"What's going on around here?" Sage wondered.
"I'm not sure. One minute we're held hostage by the Galaxy Rangers..." Rowen said.
"And the next we're here and someone's shooting at us!" Kento shouted as the group leapt out of the way of another shell.

Just then, Anubis came flying through the air from off camera, crash landing on top of the other Ronin.

"Are you all right Anubis?" Ryo asked.
"I've been better. Have you seen the other Warlords?" he asked.

As he spoke Dais also flew in from off camera, toppling onto the group.

"Does anyone have any idea where we are?" Dais asked.
"No." the Ronins said.
"How about who's shooting at us?" Anubis asked.
"No." the Ronins answered.
"How about wher..."

At the sound of this, the group immediately moved away from each other.

"...e the others are?" Dais finished.

At that they heard Sekhmet scream and he fell on top of Dais.

"Sorry about that. Any idea who's shooting at us or where we've ended up?"

Everyone looked at Sekhmet angrily.

"I take that as a no. Anyone seen Kale?"

At that moment, Kale, clad in his Epyon armor, came walking towards the group, charred, damaged, and smoking from various incendiary devices slamming into him.

"Kale! What happened to you?" the other Warlords asked.

At that moment another shell hit Kale dead on, knocking him to the ground.

"And Destonus said he'd stop picking on poor Kale!" Sekhmet said.
"Not time to worry about that now. First we need to figure out where the hell we are." Anubis said.

Just then they heard the laugh of a pirate.

"The Pirates of the Caribbean?" Kale wondered.

Anubis promptly whacked him.

A pirate captain strode into view. He was ugly, and seemed to have a ship forming his shoulder guards. Alongside him were several dozen pirate minions armed with swords.

"Argh mateys, welcome to the Lost Galaxy, the last shore you'll ever call home." the captain said.
"And who do we have the pleasure of addressing?" Anubis said as he got to his feet.
"Argh! I'm Captain Mutiny, ruler of these parts. You're now slaves fer my diamond mine! Argh ARgh ARgh!" he laughed.

As several members of the group pondered his oxymoronic name, Kento spoke up.

"Over our dead bodies!" he said, brandishing his weapon.
"Argh! If that's the way you boys want it, I'll be happy to oblige. Get them Swabbies!"

Mutiny motioned, and the minions charged at our heroes who took battle stances.

"I just have one question myself." Ryo said.
"And what's that man?" Rowen asked.

As the Swabbies closed in on our heroes, all that could be seen or heard was the phrase,

"WHERE THE HELL IS SAI?!"

Ronin Warriors: Lightspeed Galaxy

Chapter 6: Freedom for the Ronin.

Back at Mariner Bay Airport...

Ayame let out a loud yawn as the girls and Sai exited the plane.

"I feel so refreshed now."
"Did you have a nice nap Ayame?" Ran asked, as she walked hand in hand with Sai.
"Nap? It was more like hibernation." Sakura commented.
"Speak for yourself Sleeping Beauty. You practically killed the flight attendant when she tried to wake you up." Ayame said.
"Well they almost had to use the Jaws of Life to get you out of your seat! You were so wiped out you didn't even notice Sai turn off your mp3 player!" Sakura shot back.
"Well at least Sai and Ran didn't have to listen to me the whole way home!" Ayame shot back. "It's a miracle I still have my hearing. Do you have any idea how high I had to turn the volume to drown you out?"
"You'd think for two people who just slept the whole way home, they'd be ultra relaxed." Sai said.
"And I thought for sure they'd made up." Yuri said.
"As far as I can see, there's three main challenges I've had to face so far since we got here..." Ayame began.

Ayame: First there was the Mecha armored morons...

CUT TO: Shot of the girls fighting Tallgeese II and Vayeate

Ayame: ...the second was the creatures and the army of minions that almost killed us...

CUT TO: Girls fighting in the construction site and then blasting minions throughout the city

"And the Third one's you. And that's going to end up one of two ways. Either you kill me..."
"Believe me that can be arranged..." Sakura said as she prepared to call her swords.
"Or Ryo comes back to you."

At this, Sakura was shaken.

"Ryo..."

Memories of the flaming man of her dreams flashed before her eyes. Then from sheer sadness, she started to cry.

"Sakura...I'm sorry." Ayame said. "I didn't mean to bring that up."

Although most of Sakura's mind wanted to julienne Ayame, her heart found the strength to run over and cry on her shoulder. Ayame wrapped her arms around her older sister and began to comfort her.

"Don't worry Sakura. We'll get them back from wherever they are." Yuri said.
"Yeah. And don't worry about those Rangers. I've got a nice little surprise for them." Ayame smirked.
"You mean the Add-Ons, right?" Yuri said.
"Yep. Ran hasn't used hers yet." Ayame said.
"By the way...YOU WILL MAKE ME ONE...RIGHT?" Sakura said.
"Of course. I've got some special ideas in my head for yours."
"Well, let's get going. We've got to get to the hotel and then go looking for someone." Yuri said.
"Say, Suiren, you've been quiet this whole time. What have you been thinking about?"
"What?" Suiren answered. "Oh yeah. I almost forgot. The two garbage trucks are awake now." she pulled out her earplugs.

As Sakura and Yuri prepared to kill her, the others sweat-dropped.

Back in the Lost Galaxy...

"How many of those things does this guy have?" Sage shouted, slashing a Swabbie down with his sword.
"I'm not sure, but we've got to hold them off until Sai can figure out a way to get us out of this hellhole." Kento said as he used his staff to take down more of them.
"IF we last that long." Rowen said as he used his staff to knock more of them away. He fired the cannon within it, knocking several more away.
"This is not our week." Anubis said as he used his scythe to slash more away. He aimed his Buster Shield at others, and it slammed into it. The shield then returned to his arm.

Kale used his heat rod to cut through more of them, while Ryo slashed through still more with his swords. As Sekhmet took down six more with his blades, he looked over the ridge and noticed more Swabbies heading their way.

"Get Down!" Dais shouted.

Part of his armor moved upward and two panels on his chest plate opened as his extensor blades formed out. Seconds later he fired the Triple Megasonic Cannon, vaporizing several minions.

"Whoa Dais! Since when does your cannon do that?" Kento asked.
"Since Destonus saw Gundam X."

Ryo brandished his twin buster rifle.

"Okay, I'm ready."
"Web of Deception!" Dais shouted, deploying his claws, causing the enemies to be wrapped up in silk.
"Mission Accepted." Ryo said, firing off the Buster Rifle, vaporizing even more.

Kento brought out his Dragon Fang and impaled another, before burning others to a crisp with his flame-thrower.

"I'm not sure how long we can keep this up." Ryo said as he opened up his machine cannons to lay waste to still more minions.
"This would be much easier if we had Sai!" Kento said as he torched more minions.

Dais opened up his cannon again and fired another blast.

"I'm not sure how much longer I can fire this thing!" he shouted.

Anubis cut down more minions with his machine and Vulcan cannons.

"We've got no choice. Our ammo and armor has to hold out until we get back to Earth." he said.
"Don't worry Anubis. If I know Sai, he's working on a plan right now to get us out of this mess." Rowen said.

Back at the Hotel...

Ran pulled a blanket over Sai as he breathed deeply.

"Fool. You should have taken a nap on the plane like the rest of us. I guess sleep caught up with you huh? You get some rest now baby." Ran said, kissing Sai as he got comfortable on the couch.

"Hey Ran! Come take a look at this." Yuri said.

Ran walked over to the desk, where Yuri was looking over some files on Ayame's laptop.

"Are these the add-ons?" she asked.
"Yep. Check out all the cool features she installed on mine."
"Let's see...one powerful cannon, S-mines...she sure broke out the heavy firepower..." Ran observed.
"If you think that's bad, check out hers. Here's yours." Yuri said, pulling down a menu and selecting a file that said, "Ran's Add-On." Instantly a wire frame image of Ran's suit appeared on screen and pieces similar to her old armor attached to it.
"This thing looks cool." Ran observed.
"She put some nice weapons on yours. Nothing like the extreme firepower on mine, but yours has enough speed to get you in and out before the devastation begins." Yuri said.

Ran was confused.

"How?" she asked.

Yuri smiled and hit a key. "Like this."

Ran watched as the on-screen image sprouted in-line skates.

"Cool...Um Ayame..."

Over on the bed, a huge bubble popped over Ayame's face as she lay there on her back.

"Yeah?" she said as she managed to get rid of it.
"It's about the Add-on for my suit..."

At the sound of this Ayame leapt off the bed and headed over.

"You like the skates I put on it don't you." Ayame said.
"Yeah...but you see I don't know how to skate..." Ran said.
"No problem. Head over to my suitcase." Ayame said.
"Okay..."

Ran walked over and dug through Ayame's luggage, finding Ayame's in-line skates.

"See the skates?" Ayame asked.
"Yeah..."
"Problem solved."
"Um, but these are yours..." Ran said.
"They're yours now. They're too small for me anyway. I've overdue for a new pair anyway. How about after I go get some new skates for myself, I show you how?" Ayame said.
"You mean it?" Ran said, her eyes widening.
"Uh huh." Ayame said.
"Oh thank you so much Ayame!" Ran said, hugging her older sister to death.
"Oh you're welcome..." Ayame said.

Ran looked over at Yuri.

"You knew Oneesan, didn't you."
"Yep." Yuri said. "Ayame told me to keep it a secret."
"You sneaks. Well, let's get going!" Ran said, grabbing her new skates and heading out the door.
"Hey Ran! Wait up! You don't even know where to go!" Ayame said, as she got her sneakers on and chased after her.

Over on the cot next to where Ayame was lying down, Sakura looked up from her book on "Everything you wanted to know about Toshizou Hijikata* but were afraid to Ask."(which she's probably read about fifty times) and flashed a small smile.

"I saw that." Yuri said.
"What?" Sakura asked.
"I saw you smile." Yuri said.
"So what if I did?" Sakura asked.
"I know you can't hide much longer. Your kindness is coming back." Yuri said.
"So what if it is? It's not like it's a bad thing." Sakura said.

Yuri smiled as Sakura went back to her book.

"Looks like the old Sakura is coming back. That girl's fought minions, Rangers, but her going against her own natural kindness is going to be the death of her." Yuri thought.

Back in the Lost Galaxy...

"How many are there left?" Anubis asked as he sliced through even more minions.
"I'm not sure. I lost count!" Rowen said as he knocked several more away.
"There's only one thing left to try. We've got to cut them off at the source!" Dais said.
" My best guess would be that large dinosaur with a castle on its back!" Rowen said.
"Okay Dais, let's go see what we can do about this problem." Ryo said, breaking out the Buster Rifle.

The two took to the sky and flew towards the ship, but they opened fire on them!

"Looks like this is going to be harder than we thought. Vernier rockets don't fail me now." Ryo said as he dodged blast after blast from Captain Mutiny.
"At this rate, we won't be able to stay still long enough to get a bead on him. We need a diversion." Dais observed.

At that Rowen flew up to join them.

"Need a hand?" Rowen asked.
"Yeah man. See if you can draw their fire long enough for us to power up." Ryo said.
"After you've done that, I need you to transform to your mobile armor mode. I'll need a platform to fire my cannon from." Dais said.
"I'm on it." Rowen said.

Flying close enough for them to notice him, Rowen zigzagged through the sky, drawing the fire from the enemy. Ryo took aim with the infamous Buster Rifle, while Dais began to gather energy for his Megasonic Cannon. On the ground, the others slashed through minion after minion. After some time, Rowen raced back to Dais, and transformed, allowing Dais to stand on the back of his mobile armor mode. Dais deployed the claws, the chest rose, and the chest plate opened up, and energy began to gather extensively. Dais fired the Megasonic gun, and shortly after, Ryo let loose with the Buster Rifle. The twin beams slammed into the enemy, causing a giant explosion.

"All right! We did it!" Ryo shouted.

As the blast dissipated, they learned that the vessel was still intact!

"What? That's impossible!" Dais shouted.
"Where are these guys getting their gear, Jurai?"
"Let's nail them again!" Rowen said.
"Negative. We're expending much of our power cells every time we fire our primary weapons. We could need it later." Ryo said.
"The only thing we can do is hold them off until Sai gets us out of here." Anubis said.
"We've got to try and conserve our energy as much as we can." Ryo said.
"Easier said than done man." Kento said as he torched yet another minion.

Several Swabbies attacked Kento, knocking him down.

"Okay, that's it." Kento shouted, preparing his staff and twirling it around above his head. "Time to rock and roll!"

Energy started to gather as rocks began to fly up around Kento.

"Iron Rock Crusher!" he shouted, pointing his staff downward, sending a fissure straight at the enemy, vaporizing dozens of them.
"If this keeps up, our armors won't be the only thing that's powerless." Rowen said.
"We must hold on! Sai of the Torrent will save us!" Anubis shouted.

Back in Mariner Bay...

"Yahoo! This is so much fun!" Ran said as she skated down the streets of Mariner Bay.
"Hey, wait up!" Ayame said, who for an accomplished skater, was having trouble keeping up with Ran.

It had not taken Ayame long to teach Ran the finer points of in-line skating. Although she stumbled and fell down a few times at first, before long she had found her center of balance once again, and was now showing up her instructor.

"Ran, slow down! Wait for me!" Ayame shouted after her student. Ran just giggled as she carefully dodged pedestrians.
"Oh, so you wanna play like that do ya? Time to kick it." Ayame said.

(Evolution Kicks up)

Picking up speed, Ayame skated like a girl possessed. Leaping into the air, she Trowa spun over traffic and soared ahead of a puzzled Ran.

"Don't mess with the master. Now let's see if YOU can keep up." Ayame said, rocketing off.
"You're on." Ran said, chasing after her.

Flying down the streets like a blur, Ayame flew down steps with amazing skill while Ran struggled to keep up. Anything that got in Ayame's way she weaved around it with extreme precision that not even quick learning Ran could match. Turning into a park, Ayame maneuvered down the steps flawlessly while Ran was forced to leap over them, fortunately she landed perfectly. She looked around, but she had lost Ayame!

"Huh, where'd she go?" Ran wondered.

She heard Ayame whistle, she turned and found her older sister sitting on a park bench, waving to her.

"How'd you do that?" Ran asked.
"My secret." Ayame replied. "But I'll show you sometime." Suddenly Ayame spotted something and took off like a flash.
"Huh? Where'd she go this time?" Ran wondered.

She felt a tap on her shoulder and there Ayame was, holding an ice cream cone.

"Thanks Ayame." Ran said, taking one of them.
"No problem." she said, sitting down on the bench with her sibling.
"So, where'd you learn how to skate like that?" Ran asked.
"I taught myself actually." Ayame said, taking a lick.
"Really?" Ran asked, curious.
"Yep." Ayame said.
"So, how'd you get into skating in the first place? You never seemed the type, no offense." Ran said.
"Well...I used to skate a lot when I was little, but lately as we all know, we've been kind of busy." Ayame said.
"So when did you get into it?" Ran asked.
"You're curious today aren't you? Well, this is how I remember..."

(FLASHBACK BEGINS)

Ayame V.O.: Well, one day when Sakura and I were little, Sakura saw someone riding a bike, so she decided that she might like to try it, so she secretly saved up her money and one day, when she had saved enough, she headed down to Earth. This is before you and Suiren came along though. Yuri as usual was off eating or training, something like that. She was amazingly strong for a ten year old. Suiren thinks she and Nuriko would make a good couple, whatever that means.

Ran V.O.: Um, Ayame, you're going off topic.

Ayame V.O.: Oh yeah. Anyway...one day she saved up enough, and being bored out of my mind as usual...

Chibi Ayame: Where are you going Sakura?

Chibi Sakura: Down to Earth...I wanted to get something.

Chibi Ayame: Oh Okay. Can I come?

Chibi Sakura: Um...Okay, sure.

Ayame V.O.: So anyway, we both got permission from Mom and headed down. I went to get some ice cream for us while Sakura headed off somewhere else. At the time I didn't know she was going to get a bike. After I got the ice cream, next thing I know, Sakura's walking her new bike down the street towards me.

Ran V.O.: You were jealous, weren't you.

Ayame V.O.: Yeah, kind of.

(Chibi Sakura puts her new bike on the bike rack outside the sports store, where they were supposed to meet.)

Chibi Ayame(angry): Where'd you get that?

Chibi Sakura: Um, I bought it a few minutes ago...

Chibi Ayame: You lied to me!

Ayame V.O.: Sakura tried to calm me down, but as we all know, Sakura's not the best negotiator in the world. We would have been there forever, that is if I didn't notice someone speed past us on rollerblades on the other side of the street. I was mesmerized, kinda like when you had that crush on Ryo Matsui...

Ran V.O.: ::blushes:: Um, can we not bring that up?

Ayame V.O.: You get the idea. Well, Sakura grabbed my hand and dragged me into the store.

Chibi Sakura: How much do you have on you?

Chibi Ayame: Umm...

(Chibi Sakura takes money from Ayame and counts it to herself)...Hmmm. (Chibi Sakura takes off)

Ayame V.O.: And so she just left me there with a dumbfounded look on my face, and then came back a few minutes later with a box in her hands.

Chibi Sakura: I counted your money and you've got just enough. Why don't you get these? Then you can come along with me when I ride my bike, while you ride on your skates?

Chibi Ayame: Cool! Thanks Sakura!

Ayame V.O.: And so I rushed off to pay for them immediately, and before long I was a skating fiend. Sakura would bike while I'd follow her on my skates, kinda like CCS backwards. Though she hasn't biked lately.

(END FLASHBACK)

"Wow! Cool!" Ran said.
"Thanks." Ayame said.
"But like you said, I haven't seen Sakura on her bike lately. She's been too busy practicing with her swords, rappelling down the palace, running off somewhere to snowboard down hills, skydive out of planes(SD Sakura does all these things as Ran names them off), It's a good thing Mom's immortal or she's going to give her a heart attack.
"Who's Sakura think she is, Ethan Hunt?" Ayame said.
"Don't know. But she hasn't biked lately." Ran said.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I saw her eying Priss' bike and the Motoslave while we were in Japan...So I've been thinking. Remember how I said I was making something special for her Add-on? Well..."

As Ayame prepared to continue, she noticed one of the Ranger females, specifically Kelsey, enter the park.

"Um, Ayame, isn't that one of them?" Ran asked.
"Yeah, but we shouldn't have a problem. She won't recognize us." Ayame said.

The two girls heartbeats began to pick up as Kelsey skated over to them.

"Excuse me girls. Have you seen these things recently?" she asked.

She pulled out a picture of the Gingaman.

"Nope." Ran said.
"Sorry. Can't say I have." Ayame added.
"All right. Sorry to bother you. It's strange...I've got a sense of déjà vu..."
"Probably nothing." Ayame said.

As Kelsey headed off confused, the two girls looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew. That was close." Ayame said.
"Yeah. Let's go back and check on you know who." Ran said.

With that the two girls got up and skated off.

Back in the Lost Galaxy...

The Ronins and Warlords continued to fend off the wrath of Captain Mutiny. However, their efforts were not going very well. Their ammo was slowly but surely being expended on the seemingly endless supply of minions. They were tiring out fast.

"How are we supposed to survive any longer?" Kento wondered as he set several more Swabbies ablaze.
"We need a miracle." Rowen said.
"What we need is Sai!" Ryo shouted.
"Yes, now would be a good time!" Sage said.
"We must keep fighting until the end!" Anubis shouted.

Back in Mariner Bay...

Ayame and Ran skated up to the hotel, removing their skates and putting their shoes on before entering the place. Sitting out by the pool they found a very unfamiliar sight.

"Um, Ran, am I seeing things?" Ayame asked.
"No...if you're seeing things than I am too."

Sakura, yes, the Devil Girl herself, was in a bikini, in a lounge chair, relaxing by the pool.

"Hi you two. Back already?" Sakura said as she took a sip of her iced tea.
"Do you know what you're doing?" Ayame shouted.
"Yeah, I'm in a swimsuit, sitting by the pool, having something to drink. Why?" Sakura asked.
"Have you completely lost your mind?" Ayame shouted.
"Ayame, calm down." Ran said.
"I'm calm. I'M AS COOL AS A CUCUMBER!" Ayame screamed as she headed up to the room.
"What's with her?" Sakura wondered.
"I'm not sure." Ran said.

A few minutes later, the two returned to the room.

"Oneesan! We're back!" Ran said.
"Welcome back! Did you two have fun?" Yuri asked.
"Yep! Ayame taught me how really fast!" Ran exclaimed.
"MY SISTER HAS LOST HER MIND!" Ayame screamed as she ran in.
"Huh?" Yuri asked.
"My sister, in a swimsuit of all things, sitting around, RELAXING. What's wrong with this picture?" Ayame shouted.
"She was in a swimsuit when we went to the beach with the guys." Ran said.
"Yeah, but that was the old Sakura. This is Devil Girl. The one who I'm always fighting with." Ayame said.
"You should be happy that she's warming up to you finally." Yuri said.
"I need a nap." Ayame said.

She dove into the nearest bed and got comfortable.

"So Oneesan, what's new?" Ran asked.
"Well, I've been carefully using Ayame's computer according to her 'look, but don't touch or add' rule, and I've got good news and bad news."
"Okay, what's the good news?" Ran asked.
"Well, Gingaman and Hyuuga are free and are probably trying to find a way to bring the Ronins back. The problem is, the Rangers are scattered through the city, probably looking for them."
"Great. What can we do?" Ran asked.
"Basically find them before one of those multicolored dots reaches the others." Yuri said.
"What?" Sai said.
"Honey! You're finally awake!" Ran said. "Did you have a nice nap?"
"I guess so. What's going on?"
"We're searching the city to see if we can track down Gingaman. Apparently this thing says they're free. Only thing is, Carter and his team are looking for them. They haven't been able to lock onto us, let alone know who we are, so they haven't come looking for us." Yuri said.
"But they do know who you are honey, so we're going to have to disguise you." Ran said.
"Disguise?" Sai asked.
"Yeah. They know what you look like. Oh Suiren!" Yuri said.

Suiren looked up from her fashion magazine.

"Yes?" she asked.

Ran went over and whispered something in her ear.

"Are you serious?" Suiren asked, raising her eyebrows in surprise.

Ran nodded.

"Okay Sai, come over here. It's time to give you a makeover." Suiren said.
"A makeover?" Sai asked.
"We're going to make you look like a girl." Ran said.
"Why do I feel like I'm in Final Fantasy VII..." Sai sighed as he headed over to a chair. Suiren brought out her bag of miscellaneous cosmetics.
"Okay Mr. Mouri, it's time to make you a woman." Suiren said, smiling deviously like Washu.

Sai looked even more terrified.

"Let's shake the dew off this Lilly!" Suiren said Washu style.

CUT TO: EXT. HOTEL

All that could be heard was a loud scream.

At the Aquabase...

The five Lightspeed Rangers were looking at a monitor of Shuki.

"Have you found them yet?" he asked.
"Negative sir. We've searched everywhere." Carter said.
"How hard is it to find them? They're dressed strangely. They don't fit in. It should not be difficult to find six oddly dressed Japanese people!" Shuki shouted.
"We will find them sir." Carter assured Shuki.

Back in the Lost Galaxy, as if anything's changed...

"How much longer are we going to have to be stuck here?" Kento shouted.
"Until Sai and Gingaman gets us out of here!" Sage shouted as he took down another minion.
"I hope the Forgotten Souls got there by now." Rowen said.
"Yeah, Dark Inferno's just what we need right now." Ryo said as he fired some Wing Vulcan fire towards a group of Swabbies.
"We are slowly fading fast, Dais is running out of Megasonic blasts, and we are seriously being outnumbered!" Anubis shouted.
"WHERE ARE YOU SAI!" Ryo shouted.

Back in Mariner Bay...

"We must tread carefully. If we expose ourselves to the Rangers then they will surely recapture us." Hayate said.
"We should work fast to find that book, and then use it to reverse the spell." Gouki added.
"I don't think so." a voice said.

Two cycles pulled up in front of them, and off them stepped Joel and Chad.

"Time for you to go back into your nice cells where you belong." Joel said.
"We're not going willingly!" Ryouma shouted.
"You'll have to fight us first!" Gouki added.
"Come get us!" Hikaru added.
"Lightspeed! Rescue!" the two shouted.

In a short amount of time they had called on their suits.

"Be careful brother. These warriors are quite strong." Hyuuga said.
"Ginga Tensei!" Ryouma and the others shouted.

They turned their dials and transformed into Gingaman.

"Ginga Red! Ryouma!"
"Ginga Green! Hayate!"
"Ginga Blue! Gouki!"
"Ginga Yellow! Hikaru!"
"Ginga Pink! Saya!

"Kurokishi! Hyuuga!"

"The legendary blade that pierces the galaxy! Seijuu Sentai!" Ryouma shouted.

The five struck a fighting pose and called out, "Gingaman!"

(Gingaman OP kicks up)

Going to animal stances, they charged at the two Lightspeed Rangers, who knocked them back with their Rescue Blasters.

"Come on! Is that all you've got?" Joel asked.

The Gingaman responded by placing their Kiba together and firing off the Kiba no Gekirin, knocking them into the open. They fortunately were near the park where the girls had been earlier. The two brought out their V-Lancers, while the Gingaman quickly drew their Seijuuken for combat. The weapons clashed over and over again, but the cheap Rangers brought out their blasters again and knocked the Gingaman back again.

"We must hit them harder!" Ryouma said.

Bringing out their launchers, the five took aim at their opponents.

"Ginga Juugeki Dan!"

The blasts flew straight at the two Rangers, but they leapt high into the air, firing down at them with their V Lancer blasters, raining death on the Gingaman team, who leapt out of the way.

"Roar! Ginga no Hikari!" Ryouma and the others called out.

In a flash, their special battle gear appeared. As the Rangers alighted, the five nailed them with Chou GinGaiKen, knocking them down. As they struggled to get back up, Hyuuga flew through the air as Kurokishi, laying down some cover fire with his cannon.

"That's it! Battle Boosters!" Chad and Joel shouted.

Pressing a particular combination, strange armor appeared on them. Chad fired his ice cannon, freezing Hyuuga solid.

"One down, five to go."

Ryouma roared like a lion and flames appeared around him.

"Honoo Issen!" he shouted, swinging with a flaming slash that thawed out Hyuuga.

Gouki readied his sword for an attack.

"GekiRyuu Ittou!" He called out, nailing Chad with a cold blast, which he dodged. But Hayate was ready.

"Shippuu IchiJin!"

The two were blown back by a powerful gust of wind. Hyuuga got up and ran at them, running up them and spinning over with a sword attack.

"Kuro no Ichigeki!" he shouted, knocking the two back even farther.

"Looks like these guys are going to play rough." Chad said.
"Let's do it."
"Tallgeese II BattleSuit Power Up!" Joel shouted.
"Vayeate BattleSuit Power Up!" Chad shouted.

A blue and Green beam of light flashed from the sea to the battlefield. The two put on the helmets, and the suits attached themselves to their suits in the usual places.

"Time to take you guys down..." Joel said.

Back at the Hotel...

"Well, I'm done." Suiren said.

She had taken poor Sai into the bathroom, and completely redid him. She started by combing his hair to get rid of all the snarls, then applied makeup and lipstick, did his nails, broke out some socks to substitute for err...you know, and threw one of her dresses on the poor guy.

The bathroom door opened, and Sai emerged wearing a green dress, lipstick, eye shadow, his nails painted red. Suiren had done such a good job, you could not even tell it was Sai. Ayame had just woken up when Sai emerged, after figuring out she was not dreaming, she was soon rolling on the bed laughing harder than she ever had.

"It's okay Sai. You look good." Ran said, blushing.
"Oh he was a very willing victim, weren't you Sai." Suiren said.
"Willing? You practically threatened me with your sword until I agreed to the nail polish!" Sai said.
"Come on Ayame. Stop laughing." Yuri said.
"I've got to get a picture of this..." Ayame said, searching for her camera. "This is better than Priss in a dress!"

After a few minutes she located her camera.

"Smile Sai!" Ayame said, snapping a picture.

Just then Sakura walked in.

"Well, the Devil Girl returns from her solar exposure." Ayame said.

Sakura just stood there in the doorway. At first she was surprised. Then the sides of her lips started to curl upward. Then she started to smile, and then she said, "Sai?"

"Hi." Sai said, gloomily.

At this Sakura, the Devil Girl herself, just burst into tears and began to laugh so hard she almost passed out. Ayame quickly took a picture of Sakura, since this was just as unusual as Sai dressed up like a girl.

"Don't worry Sai. This is just until we find Gingaman and the others."

Suddenly Ayame's laptop began beeping. Calming herself down, she ran over to it and took a look.

"We've got a problem guys, and it's not Sai. The computer just pinpointed their location. The only thing is, those two Ranger guys did too."
"You mean the ones we've basically humiliated by beating the crap out of them on a regular basis?" Yuri asked.
"Yeah, those guys." Ayame said.
"So let's go get them!" Suiren shouted.
"All right. Ran, you hit the perimeter and place turrets around the area. Ayame, you go with her. Suiren, you and Sai protect Gingaman. Yuri and I will take care of those two." Sakura said.

Once again the six headed to the roof of the hotel.

"Armor of Sandrock Torrent! Tao Shin!" Sai shouted.

As Just Communication kicked up AGAIN to guide his transformation, the wind picked up as the girls focused their ki energy, summoning their armors by linking them to their virtues.

(Fly High Kicks up)

"We don't have the Mobile Pit, so we'll have to do this by air. Let's go." Sakura said.

The six blasted off, heading straight for the park. About halfway there Ayame and Ran broke out of formation and landed while the others flew onward.

Ayame and Ran landed safely.

"Okay, let's get over there and give Gingaman a hand." Ayame said.
"Can't let you do that." A voice said. It was that of Ryan.
*"Great. It's that Titanium Twit again." Ran said.
*"Ran, you've been hanging around me too long." Ayame said.

Ryan snapped his fingers and an army of Batlings appeared.

*"Okay, let's do this." Ayame said.
*"Right." Ran said.
*"Add-Ons, HASSHIN!" Ayame and Ran shouted.

Up at the Palace of the Heavens, part of the roof opened to reveal a large cannon. It fired twice, sending two objects streaking towards the battlefield. As they fell towards the city, they broke into multiple beams of energy and wrapped around Ayame and Ran, forming their Add-Ons.

*"Let's do it little sis!" Ayame said.
*"Right!" Ran said.

Ran activated her skates and flew towards the minions, standing ready with her left gauntlet, out of which an energy blade emerged. She slashed through a few, while her head whips cut through still more. She did a quick stop, and reached into the backpack unit, and tossed several strange objects at the minions and Ryan. She and Ayame leapt out of the way, and she pressed a button on her right gauntlet, causing the remote mines she had placed on them to go off, blowing the minions away and knocking Ryan down.

(Kurenai kicks up)

"Nice moves. Won't help you though." Ryan said as he opened fire with his cannon. Ran skated out of the way, while Ayame leapt into the air, opening up her numerous missile launchers which bombarded Ryan. Ran threw a few more remote mines at him, which exploded upon detonation. Ayame reached under her shoulder guards, pulled out a pair of Kami, and slashed at Ryan when she landed, but he knocked her away.

*"Ayame! Draw his fire!" Ran shouted.
"Hey! Big dumb and metal! Betcha can't hit me!" Ayame said, morphing her boots into in-line skates.
"Thanks for the help Mackie." she thought.

As Ryan fired, Ayame with her natural skill dodged the assault. Ran activated her machinecannons and began circle strafing Ryan, slowly but surely wearing him down. She then let him have it with her ice cannon, freezing him solid.

"Let's go." Ayame said.

The two girls took off for the others.

At the battlefield, Gingaman was having trouble until a missile blast from Sai made some distance between the two groups. Sai and Suiren landed, and proceeded to lead the group away from their opponents as they were distracted-right into a group of Batlings led by Carter.

*"CRAP! Ayame and Ran were supposed to take care of these guys!" Suiren shouted.
*"We can take him. I'll cover you." Sai said, laying down some Vulcan cannon and beam machinegun fire which Carter avoided.
*"Halo Add-on, HASSHIN!" Suiren shouted.

In a matter of minutes the attachment had arrived and attached itself to Suiren. She powered up her now improved charge cannon and cut a path through Carter and the Batlings.

*"Let's go!" Suiren said, knocking Carter aside with her no-daichi and leading Sai and Gingaman off the scene. But they only ran into Mike, as the Magna Defender. A group of Sting Wingers flew in and grabbed Gingaman, taking a cue from the Wizard of Oz and flying the poor heroes off to only the Rangers knew. Hyuuga managed to slash himself free of his captors, falling into a nearby tree as the others were carried off. He tried to fire at the insects, but also did not want to risk hitting his comrades. He did not have time to do either, as Carter knocked him unconscious with his V-Lancer.

"Okay, time to fight you two." he said as Mike approached with his sword drawn.
"I see the Ronins are friends of yours." Mike said to Suiren.
"Ronin, care to introduce us to your friend here?" Carter asked. "We're dying to know who these girls are."

Sai answered by blasting him with a Super Wave Smasher. Suiren nailed Mike with a powered up blast from her gauntlet. She then cut down some of the minions with a flurry of shuriken before deploying her claw and going hand to hand with the minions, then disappearing. The guys then took this opportunity to knock Sai into the open with their weapons.

"We've got you now. AAAAAAH!" Mike said before falling unconscious.

Carter followed suit. As Sai stood there in disbelief, Suiren faded back in.

"Naptime boys. I love these things." Suiren said.

Meanwhile, Ran and Ayame had arrived on the scene.

*"Okay Ran, you go this way, I'll go that way, and we'll meet back here."
*"Got it." Ran said.

Ran skated around the perimeter at a good clip, pausing every so often to drop a source module or fire a remote mine at something. Ayame meanwhile skated in the opposite direction, deploying her gravity spheres around the battlefield.

"Hey! Where'd those guys go?" Joel wondered.

Just then Sakura and Yuri flew in and landed.

"Sorry boys, we're your designated opponents now." Yuri said. *"Hey Sakura, which one do you want?"
*"I don't care. You pick one, I'll take the other." Sakura said, drawing her swords.
*"I'll take the one on the right." Yuri said, pointing to Joel.
*"Fair enough." Sakura said, charging at Chad with her swords crossed.
"Kodatchi Nintouryuu...Gokou Juuji!" Sakura shouted, slashing into Chad.
"Okay, what are you going to do?" Joel asked, readying his beam saber for combat.
"Oh, I was just thinking I'd kick you around a few times, punch you with my Knuckle Bomber, and then let you have it with my new cannon." Yuri said.

Joel fired up his thrusters and flew at Yuri with his saber ready, but she quickly called on her staff, plunged it into the ground, and swung around, kicking Joel in the butt as he went by. Unsummoning her weapon, she charged at him with her Knuckle Bomber, but he turned quickly enough to block with his shield before cutting a nice dent in her armor with his beam saber.

"DAMN YOU ASSHOLE!" Yuri swore. "You cut my Hardsuit."

Joel tried to punch her, but she stopped it with her fist and then nailed him in the stomach with her Knuckle Bomber, knocking him away. As he charged at her, she leapt into the air, and did a falling spin kick Jin Kazama style. He grabbed his other saber and headed at her, but she sidestepped and axe kicked him flat into the pavement. He managed to get back up, knocking her over with a charge with his shield and thrusters, recovering the Dober Gun and heading skyward.

"Locked on target. See ya bitch." Joel said.
"Somehow, I don't think so." *"Hardrock Add-On, HASSHIN!" she screamed.

Her Add-On was also launched the same way, which quickly attached itself as it had before. Removing the large cannon, she attached it to her Knuckle Bomber and began charging.

"TAKE THIS BASTARD!" she screamed, blasting Joel.

The blast cracked most of his armor, but it still held. Putting away her cannon, she aimed the S-Mine launcher at his helmet, which upon its explosion destroyed the helmet once again, leaving only his Ranger helmet and the remaining parts of his armor. The thrusters cut off and he fell to the ground. Unable to use his cannon, with a battle cry she charged at him, punching him in the stomach with her Knuckle Bomber, punching normally with the first hit, but charging it on the second, severely damaging the Armor. Joel teleported away.

Sakura meanwhile was having some minor trouble with Chad. Using his vernier rockets he was able to move out of his way as she attempted to cut him with her swords. He fired his cannon at low power, knocking her away.

*"SAKURA!" Yuri screamed. "BASTARD..."

Yuri held her staff in front of her and began to focus.

*No Yuri! Don't! You'll let them know who we are!" Ayame shouted.
*"No. I've got him now. Chou..." Yuri began.
*"Stand back. I've got him." Sakura said.

Yuri stopped charging as Sakura took aim with her cannon. Fully charged, she took aim. Suiren took a position behind him secretly and also charged to full power.

*"It wouldn't hurt to give him a normal strength one though." Sakura said.

Yuri smiled as she began twirling her staff above her head.

*"I'm in this too. " Ayame said as she aimed her bow.
*"Count me in Oneesan!" Ran said as she aimed as well.

Sai also joined in with his own powers.

*"Now!" Sakura shouted.

She and Suiren fired their attacks, a string of pink mini-fireballs streaked at the Vayeate while a large fireball flew at him as well. Ayame fired off a normal strength Arrow Shockwave a split second before Sai and Ran let loose with their Super Wave Smashers just when Yuri let fly with an Iron Rock Crusher. The attacks streaked straight at Chad. He knew this might be the end...

*"Say goodnight!" Sakura shouted.

...that is, if several spheres had not appeared around him and formed a shield that nullified all the attacks.

The girls looked up into the sky, noticing a strange red armor had joined the party. Before they could react, its machinegun toting partner opened fire on the girls, showering them with bullets. Managing to recover, Ayame sent a salvo of missiles flying its way while Sai fired his beam machinegun, and Ran her machinecannons, but the shield discs flew off of Chad and around them, protecting them now.

*"Who does that thing think she is, Magneto?" Sai wondered.
*"Not exactly Sai. More like Heero and her partner thinks she's Trowa. Those suits are Mercurius and Heavyarms Custom. Mercurius' claim to fame is a planet defensor system that protects the user or one of his or her choosing from harm by generating a nearly impenetrable shield. The Heavyarms is loaded with weaponry." Ayame explained.
*"Screw the Explanation!" Yuri shouted, breaking out her cannon and opening fire. "Take this! And This!"

Frustrated, she attached the cannon to her Knuckle Bomber and fired a more powerful shot, but it was still absorbed by Mercurius' shield. Mercurius extended its shield to protect Chad as well.

"This is Dana and Kelsey. We have Gingaman in custody and have located Chad. Now returning to base."

Just then, they were rocked by a powerful energy blast that canceled out the shield!

"What the?" Dana wondered.

Sai and the girls looked with great enthusiasm as a familiar large 30 foot robot flew on the scene with several warriors clinging to or escorting it.

"Who are those guys?" Kelsey wondered.
"Not sure. The shield's going to take time to recharge after it got knocked out. I'll go get Carter and Mike, you cover our escape." Dana said as she flew down to retrieve the others while Kelsey opened fire. Dark Inferno responded with its own missiles and cannon fire. Distracted, Yuri took aim at Kelsey with her cannon, blasting her main weapon to kingdom come. The others followed suit, putting some good dents in her armor. The group quickly teleported away.

Soon after, Dark Inferno landed and Hariel leaped out.

"We're finally here. Where's Ryo and the others Sai?" he asked.
"Also, while we're on the subject, who are they?" Saber Strike asked, pointing to the girls.
"Come with us. We'll explain everything." Sai said.

Back at the Aquabase...

"I'm sorry Lord Shuki. I shouldn't have allowed the Heavyarms system to be damaged." Kelsey said.
"Do not worry. The cannon is easily replaceable, and if worst comes to worst, I have a more powerful system waiting here at my base, especially if the Ronins return. Head for the studio fortress immediately. We have Carter's BattleSuit waiting here. The Galaxy Rangers have already arrived."
"At once Lord Shuki." Carter said as the group gathered their unconscious and damaged and headed for the Train Bay and prepped it for launch.

Back at the hotel...

"Okay, so what's been going on here?" Hariel asked as he and the other Forgotten Souls sat down on the couch.
"Well, basically, we headed to Capitol City as planned, but I got sidetracked after I received a message. The guys left without me and we're not sure where they are now. What we do know is that they've got Gingaman somewhere. They might still be in the city if the Rangers haven't hightailed it out of here." Sai explained.
"All right. Then who are these warriors?" Saber Strike asked.
"You're going to have to promise that you don't tell the Ronins, especially Anubis." Sai said.
"Especially Anubis? Then you must be..." Saranbo said.

The five girls took off their helmets, letting their hair down and revealing their identities to the shocked group.

"Yes. We're back." Sakura said.
"Basically, we were here on business testing our new suits when Sai got in the way. Ran's emotions kind of got the better of her and she invited Sai to stay with us while the Ronins took off for Capitol City. We saw a battle on our way in here, so we assume that they got their mecha." Yuri explained.
"Yes. They did. Unfortunately we lost." Hyuuga explained.
"What happened to them Hyuuga?" Sai asked.
"When we fought the Rangers, they invoked some sort of spell that sucked them through a portal. I'm not sure where it leads." Hyuuga explained.
"If it's a spell, chances are it can be reversed." Sakura said.
"So why are you girls here anyway?" Touyuki asked.
"We really can't explain all the details. All we can say is that we're here for a very important reason and part of that reason is why our armors have changed significantly since you last saw us." Sakura explained.
"Yeah, what she said. But also to relax and get stuff." Ayame added.
"Also, Shuki's got Kinjiro, which is why our suits don't have full power." Yuri explained.
"What?" Hariel asked.
"Kinjiro was working on our suits along with Nigel Kirkland and Sylia Stingray for our mom, when he got kidnapped by Shuki, just as he was putting the finishing touches on our Chi Amplification System, which would allow us to fight better. Now every time we activate the system, the second we take the suit off, nap time." Ayame explained.
"They've forced him to build those strange armors that were attacking us when you guys showed up." Sai explained.
"We've done a decent job of keeping those things in the repair bay." Yuri explained.
"Do we know where they are now?" Hariel asked.
"Unless they've left their secret underwater lair, chances are that's where they've got Gingaman." Ayame explained.
"But we really must locate the Galaxy Rangers and figure out how to get the Ronins and Warlords back." Hyuuga said.
"Then I say we hit that undersea base and see if we can free the Gingaman and hopefully, if we're lucky, find a way to bring the Ronins and Warlords back." Hariel said.
"Let's go." Sakura said.
"Um, slight change in plans. I'm detecting a launch from their base!" Ayame said.
"They must be moving out." Hariel concluded.
"We should follow them otherwise we could lose them for good." Sai added.
"I remember where we left the mecha we borrowed from GogoV. We should use that to get there." Hyuuga explained.
"Saranbo, fly on ahead of us and observe where they go. Wait for us."

As the group prepared to move out, an arrow flew through the window, with a piece of paper attached to it! Sakura headed over and removed it from the wall.

"Huh? It's a map to the location of their base." she said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go kick some Ranger Ass!" Yuri added.

As the others headed downstairs to go get the mecha, Ayame glanced out the window. On the building across from their room she caught a glimpse of a robed figure heading off. The large collapsed weapon on his back made his identity obvious.

"Thank you..." She said to herself as she headed out the door to join the others.

Just as the group reached their machines, the Train Bay of the Lightspeed Rescue group completed its rising procedure, and launched into the air, heading out of the city like a huge dragon. Hyuuga and the others quickly piled into the Go Liner and Mars Machines, and with Dark Inferno following behind, they took off at high speed across the tracks out of the city and hopefully towards the enemy base.

As the train hurried along the tracks to their enemies' location, the group prepared for their impending battle differently. The Forgotten Souls, commandeering the Mars Machines, were intently focused with keeping up with the Go Liner's progress. Hyuuga operated the machine, somehow figuring out how the contraption worked. Sakura sharpened her swords, eager to slice thousands of minions or possibly more to get her Ryo back. Suiren sat at one of the controls, her feet propped up on the console, reading one of her shoujo manga, sighing regularly. Ayame was slumped over in her chair, sound asleep. Yuri looked over the whole situation, paying special attention to her youngest and possibly favorite sibling. While her other siblings prepared for the mission at hand in their own unique ways, Sai and Ran were conversing. Every few minutes she would hear one of Ran's famous giggles. She hoped that they could succeed and get the others back. She yawned. The trip and combat back in Japan had tired her out, and there was some lingering fatigue. Looking over at Ayame, sleeping soundly, she concluded that maybe a little nap would not hurt...

"Sai?" Ran asked her aquatic main squeeze.
"Yeah Ran?" he replied.
"Do you think we'll get the other guys and the Warlords back?" she asked.
"I'm sure we'll figure something out. It's just a matter of convincing the Lost Galaxy team to cooperate." Sai said.
"Yeah, we'll succeed." Ran said.

Looking into her gorgeous purple eyes, Sai thought about the situation with his girlfriend. Yes, they had been together for quite a while back when the Saiyans wanted their heads, but since they rekindled their relationship, he had wanted something more. Ran had changed a great deal from when he first met her. Maybe it was the separation, or maybe the author just decided to flesh the girls out more, she was different. She was almost like a child, and he found that cute. But he was almost sure that deep inside there was a mature girl waiting to come out.

"Sai?" Ran asked, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Yes?" He responded.
"What were you thinking about?" Ran asked.
"Nothing really...about how we've never really kissed each other." Sai replied.
"Oh...well, if you want me to I can." Ran said.
"No, I don't want to rush you. When you're ready, you're ready." Sai said.
"Okay." Ran answered.

Meanwhile, as Yuri snored louder than the train itself, Ayame began to toss and turn. She appeared in a dark place, clad in her current wardrobe.

"Where am I?" she asked. Her voice echoed through this place.
"The space between minds." a voice said.

A form appeared in front of her. It was that of Navcase.

"What are you doing inside my head?" Ayame asked.
"It appears my curse has allowed me the power of telepathy and limited astral projection." he replied.
"Your curse?" she asked.

Navcase reached up his sleeve and undid something, then pulled a part off like it was a sock, revealing his right arm, which was partially scaled.

"Is this what I think it is?" Ayame asked.
"Yes. Using that armor has accelerated the problem." he said.
"But why did you give us the location?" Ayame asked.
"To get there before me." he said.
"What do you mean, get there before you?" Ayame asked.
"All will be revealed in time." Navcase said, covering his arm again and starting to disappear.

Once he had vanished, the next thing Ayame heard was her sisters' voices.

"Ayame, wake up. We're here." Sakura said, shaking her gently.
"Huh?" Ayame said groggily as she started to wake up.
"Wake up sleepyhead. We're at their base." Sakura said.
"That's nice..." she said, starting to drift back.
"AYAME!" Sakura shouted.
"Okay okay! I'm up I'm up. You don't have to be so grouchy..."

Ayame yawned loudly as the group figured out how they were going to get in.

"We're going to need the Add-Ons for this one." Sakura said.
"I agree. Who knows how many minions there are in there." Sai added.
"Ran, I need you to skate around the perimeter of the base and lay down explosives and Turret Source Modules while Ayame keeps them busy." Sakura explained.
"You got it." Ran said.
"Why do I have to be the decoy?" Ayame whined.
"Because you're the fastest and most dangerous skating fiend there is." Sakura stressed.
"Oh yeah." Ayame said, feeling pleased about her assignment.
"Once you two have laid down the diversion and activated it, Suiren, Sai, and myself will charge in, blasting our way through the minions while the Forgotten Souls back us up. We locate the Lost Galaxy Rangers and discover the way to get the guys back. Okay, let's do it." Sakura said.

With that, the group called upon their armor and began to move the train closer.

Back in the Lost Galaxy...

"There are simply too many of them! We won't be able to hold them off for long! WHERE IS SAI?" Ryo shouted as he took out several more with short blasts from his buster rifle.
"You are correct Wildfire. We have two options. I suggest we try the first." Anubis said.
"Right." The other Warlords said.
"KAYURA!" they screamed.
"Typical." Kento observed.

However, Kayura did not appear.

"Now what oh fearless leader?" Sage shouted.
"We have no choice." Anubis said.

Pulling out his cell phone, he dialed a number.

"Hello? This is Starwind and Hawking Enterprises, where we fix everything, from ships to relationships. We'll take any job as long as it's not too dangerous." the voice on the other end said.
"HEEEEEEELP!" Anubis shouted. "We're trapped in this weird dimension and there's an army of pirates trying to kill us!"
"Pirates?" An older voice said. "We'll be right there. How much are they offering Jim?"
"Yeah, how much are you offering?" Jim asked.
"We'll give you anything! Just save us!"
"Okay, let's get this show on the road." the older voice said.

Back at Shuki's...

"Okay, here we go." Sakura said.

At her command, Ayame and Ran leapt out of the train and hit the ground skating. Ayame skated up to a group of minions.

"Um, hi guys!" Ayame said.

The minions began hot pursuit as Ayame flew off at high speed.

"Nya-nya, you can't catch me!" she taunted, skating backwards and then turning around to pick up speed.

Meanwhile, Ran was skating around the perimeter, Ayame having lured all the guards on a wild goose chase, dropping strange tripods around the place. When those ran out, she fired strange mines that stuck to the walls of the buildings.

Nearby, back at the train, Sai, Sakura, and Suiren, along with Yuri, stood ready with their Add-ons and armor to raid the base and locate the Lost Galaxy team. Seconds later Ran skated up and came to a stop, and seconds after her Ayame triple-flipped onto the scene.

"Okay, everything's in place Sakura." Ran said.
"Too...many...minions...couldn't hold them all off..." Ayame said, out of breath.
"It's okay Ayame. We'll take it from here."

Ran pushed a few buttons, and the strange tripods transformed into gun turrets and began firing at anything evil that moved. At the same time, several hundred explosions went off, causing even more panic.

"Just how many mines did you put down Ran?" Sakura asked.
"I only did what you told me to do! I placed mines all around the perimeter." Ran said.
"It's okay. You did a good job. Okay, charge!" Sakura said.

With that she, Sai, and Suiren made a mad dash for the base. Yuri fired blasts from her cannon to aid their entry, as if the turrets and explosions were not enough. Minions charged the trio, but Sakura quickly slashed her way through minion after minion. Suiren did the same. Sai nailed even more with his man-catcher and mowed them down with his beam machinegun.

Several minions gathered around them and prepared to assault, but they were blasted to kingdom come by Yuri's cannon. Suiren then charged at another, driving her sword in and then flipping backward elegantly. A minion charged with its sword at Sakura, but she charged at him, matching his speed and slashed right through with one of her swords, blood splashing neatly from the warrior before perishing. She then sliced another down with Gokou Juuji. One swung at her, but she blocked it before flipping over her sword and driving it in and yanking it out quickly. She spotted one near a wall, which she impaled quickly using a one sword Onmyou Hasshi. Sheathing her sword elegantly, she strafed right, firing off low power blasts from her cannon before pulling the weapon out and replacing it in its sheath. One snuck up on her, but she back-flipped, slicing it in two with her swords as she went over. Two approached her, but she cut one down with a vicious forehand and ran the other through with her other blade before slicing through several others one by one as she rejoined her sister and Sai.

"Sorry you two. I kinda got caught up back there." Sakura said.
"There's too many and I'll run out of ammo before they're all dead."
"One of us is going to have to use a sure-kill." Suiren said as she blasted others away with her Add-On.
*"Sakura! I found him!" Ayame shouted over their intercom.
*"Who have you found?" Sakura asked as she took down a minion Nakoruru style.
*"I found Kinjiro! He's in Cell 23." she replied.
*"That's nice. Now how are we going to get there!" Sakura said.
*"We're kinda pinned down and Sai's running low on ammo." Suiren explained.
"Damn! Here we go." Sakura swore as she placed her swords together as the minions closed in on her.
"Flare UP..."
"RAGE OF THE INFERNO!" Hariel's voice screamed over her as she focused, blasting the minions before them to kingdom come.
"You go find Kinjiro. We'll hold them off for you."

(Konya wa Hurricane kicks up)

As the Forgotten Souls unleashed their sure-kills, clearing a path for the trio, Ayame once again came on.

*"Hey Sakura! I've got something for you!" Ayame said.
*"Not now Ayame. I'm busy." Sakura said as she cleaved through several more minions.
*"It's really important! And I just found something ou..."
*"Not now!" Sakura said, cutting her off.
*"But Sakura..."
*"We're trying to break out Kinjiro, and there's more minions than I expected!" Sakura shouted.
"Suiren, you clear a path for Sakura. I'll cover her and get that cell block open!" Sai shouted.
"Get ready Sakura. Here we go!" Suiren said, brandishing her sword.

"THUNDER...BOLT...CUT!"

Suiren's sure-kill tore down enemy after enemy, clearing a path through them. Sai fired his weapons, attempting to slow their attempts to block it again, but he ran out of ammo. Sakura charged forward, holding her swords by her side in a V, cutting down minion after minion on a mad dash for the cell area. Leaping atop a minion's head and diving for the door, and back-flipping off the missiles Sai fired to blast it open, she landed neatly only to find...

Kelsey and Dana guarding the cell.

"Oh shit..." Sakura said.
*"I tried to warn you, but noooooo, YOU didn't listen. Happy now?" Ayame said matter of factly.
*"Be quiet Ayame. You said you had a way through them?" Sakura said.
*"Ask and ye shall receive." Ayame said, pushing a few buttons.

As she did so, a message came through on Sakura's HUD, reading "Motorslave deployed."

"Huh?" She wondered.

Kelsey opened fire with her now double beam machine cannon, which Sakura somehow skillfully dodged after sheathing her sword, before dodging into a jet assisted leap into the air, from which she opened fire with her cannon at full strength, however Dana stepped in and used the planet defensors to block it.

"DAMN..." Sakura swore.

Suddenly she heard the roar of an engine, followed by the whistle of a shell. Seconds later, twin shells slammed into the two warriors, knocking them back, but they were protected by the shield. Then a voice came through Sakura's helmet.

*"Lady Sakura, I Kanesada* am sworn to protect you and aid you at all times."
"Thanks Ayame..." Sakura thought, smiling under her helmet, appreciating Ayame's special touch.

A Red futuristic motorcycle, wielding twin cannons, one on either side, drove in and opened fire again, pinning down her opponents long enough for her to use her head whip to cause a pile of rubble to fall on top of them. She then leapt over them and headed straight for Kinjiro's cell, slashing through more minions as she got closer and closer until she located Kinjiro.

"Stand back." she said, sheathing her swords and bracing herself as she fired her cannon at full strength, blasting the cell open. Kinjiro exited.
"Thank you. I am sorry I was unable to finish the Chi Amplifiers." he said.
"Forget it. Let's get out of here." she said.

However blocking her escape route were the two Rangers once again.

"Damn..." she said.

Suddenly the Motorslave charged through, knocking them down and pulled up beside her.

*"I am here to serve you, Lady Sakura." it said through her helmet.
"Come on." Sakura said as she hopped on the bike.

Kinjiro hopped on as well.

"They're blocking our escape route." Kinjiro said.
"Never mind. I'll just make my own." Sakura said, targeting a wall nearby.

She fired her cannons, knocking the wall down and then speeding through it with them in hot pursuit, firing at her from the air. She dodged skillfully thanks to the interface diagnostic.

*"Can't you go any faster?" Sakura shouted.
*"Acknowledged."

She nearly fell off as her Motorslave kicked into high gear and moved even faster.

"They're still gaining on us." Kinjiro said.
"Tell me something I don't know." Sakura said as she attempted to dodge their shots at high speed on her way back to the others.

She stopped suddenly as a very damaged Joel landed in front of her with Tallgeese II. Chad flew in and fired with Vayeate, hitting the Motorslave head on, knocking Kinjiro off!

"Kinjiro!" Sakura shouted.

As he fell, he was caught in mid-air by a dark blue form that was none other than Ayame. She landed, and turned to nail their pursuers with a salvo of rockets.

"I told you I'm not dead weight!" Ayame said.
"Thanks. Get him out of here, it's too dangerous." Sakura said.
"You got it Devil Girl." Ayame teased.
"I told you not to call me that."
"Sakura...There's something I need to tell you." Kinjiro began.
"Save it for later. Come on, we're getting you out of here."

With that, Ayame launched into the air and flew back to their safe point, while Sakura covered them with her cannons.

*"This doesn't look good Kanesada." she said.
*"Fear not Lady Sakura. It is time for us to become one." it said.

With that, the Motorslave transformed around Sakura, turning into a power armor for her power armor. Picking up the twin cannons that were dropped in the transformation, she opened fire on Vayeate, but he dodged. He fired again, and she managed to dodge and return fire with her head Vulcans and cannons.

"I think I should take that guy out. He's their weakest link."

Dropping her left cannon, she powered up her charge cannon, which was amplified by the Motorslave itself, firing a powered up shot which she used her cannon to split into a multilayer wave of death with a fireball in the center, which slammed into Joel, destroying Tallgeese II.

"Curse you. But don't worry, I've got another one waiting in storage for you." he said as he teleported away.

Sakura quickly recovered her other cannon, and turned to fire on the remaining two suits, but she was forced to take cover behind some rubble.

*"Sakura. Ayame sent me the plans for the Motorslave. I figured you could use some added firepower, so I developed an Add-On for it." Kinjiro explained.
*"Sounds like a good idea. Motoslave Add-On, Hasshin!" Sakura shouted.

In a secret hangar where the other Gundam suits were kept, a wall was knocked away and several pieces of armor flew towards Sakura. Two large boxes linked up with her arms, while two more pieces locked on to her legs. There was even a backpack system that linked up there. Several additional bits of information came into her HUD regarding the new weaponry.

"This is nasty stuff..." Sakura said.
*"I thought you'd like it." Kinjiro said.

Even heavier equipped, Sakura and Kanesada rose from behind the rubble, ready for battle.

Meanwhile, back in the Lost Galaxy...

"This is bad...this is really bad!" Ryo shouted as he fired the last of his Vulcan ammo.
"We're out of ammo, our power cells for the weapons are practically drained, ARE YOU sure that your help is coming Anubis?" Kento shouted.
"Yes! They said they'd be here!" Anubis shouted.

The constant sound of gunfire ended abruptly as everyone squeezed off the last of their shots.

"Well, it's all over." Dais said.
"Anubis, this is all your fault!" Kento shouted.

The group braced for impact, just as a salvo of missiles slammed into the enemy, blowing them to kingdom come.

"ARGH, what hit us?" Mutiny said.

(Through the Night kicks up)

He and the others looked up to see a long red ship with arms.

"FIRE AT WILL! Shoot them down!" Mutiny ordered.

Ordinance was launched at the large red ship.

"They're shooting at us Gene!" Jim Hawking reported.
"Well then, let's blow some hot kisses to our new devoted fans." Gene said.

Another salvo of missiles was fired, as well as a few dozen shots from the ship's large Uzi.

"Let's get this show on the road. Mel, Gilliam, keep 'em busy while we go down to have a little fun." Gene said.
"Right Gene." Melfina said from her tube.

The Warlords and Ronins watched as three people dropped out of the ship. The first to land was a man with red hair, his body riddled with scars. He wore a yellow cloak. The second looked like a cat. The third was dressed in ancient Japanese garb and wielded a bokken.

"Anubis, THESE are the guys who are going to save us?" Ryo asked.

He nodded.

"These are the Pirates?" Gene asked.
"Yes." Anubis said.
"Let's go!" Gene shouted, pulling out a gun and opening fire with a hail of bullets, downing Swabbie after Swabbie.

With lighting speed, the bokken wielder slashed through everyone in sight. No minion was safe from her bokken that sliced like a sword. The cat creature decided to try her luck next.

"Ha! You damn Pirates! It's time for you to know the wrath of the Ctarl Ctarl!" she shouted.

Aisha ClanClan tore into minion after minion, roaring like a cat as she clawed, bit, and sliced her way through the others.

The Ronins and Warlords were surprised by her methods of attack, and stood there in awe as minion after minion was taken down.

Gene strafed right and left, squeezing off shot after shot. Swabbies continued to fall left and right.

"ARGH! You won't win against me that easily!" Captain Mutiny shouted, drawing a sword and going for Gene. He blocked his blow with his Light Shield. Gene pulled out a large brownish gold cannon, loaded a shell and fired. A large magical explosion occurred.

"Damn! He's still there!" Gene swore.
"Try a number 16." Jim suggested.

Gene reloaded and took aim.

"EAT THIS!" He shouted, firing his Caster Gun again.

The blast knocked Captain Mutiny away.

"ARGH! RETREAT RETREAT!" Mutiny shouted.

He and his warriors fled back to his castle at high speed.

"Yeah! You run! Run away! You're no match for the Ctarl Ctarl!" Aisha shouted.
"Shut up Aisha." Gene said. "Now, about our payment." Gene said.

Back on Earth...

"What is that thing?" Kelsey wondered.
"I'm not sure. Shoot it!" Dana said.

Kelsey unloaded on the combined machine. Sakura held up her gauntlets to block, only for them to open and a salvo of mini-missiles to streak out and slam into her.

"Time to see what else this thing can do." Sakura said.

She opened fire with her large cannons, but Dana used the Planet Defensors to block it.

"Damn..." Sakura swore.
*"Sakura, use the VTS Antimagic Gun! It's mounted on your right leg." Kinjiro explained.

Sakura reached down and pulled out a long slender six shooter and aimed it at her opponents

*"Are you sure this'll work?" Sakura asked.
*"There's a selector switch on it. Set it to technology."

Sakura did so and fired a shot, which caused the discs to fall to the ground.

*"Now! Use the Sonic Flechette Cannon!" Kinjiro said.

A cannon folded up from her back over her right shoulder, and began humming with power as it warmed up. A loud clap of thunder was heard as a sonic blast flew at Kelsey, making a severe dent in her armor, damaging her weapons systems before the following shell blasted a hole in the chest. She followed it up with a barrage of all her weapons, destroying the Heavyarms armor and sending Kelsey packing.

"Who's next?" Sakura asked.

Dana, not wanting to be outdone, called in a horde of indispensable minions.

"Beat this!" she said.
"Gladly."

(Sakura Saku kicks up)

Sakura unloaded with everything she had, taking down minions in rapid shots. They dodged, but her shots found them. Missiles were flying everywhere, shells from her cannons were sailing through the air blasting things to kingdom come. Her Sonic Flechette Cannon hummed to life and took down even more minions. More missiles sailed to their intended targets. Minions took cover and were blasted to kingdom come one way or another. The onslaught did not end there as she opened fire on Mercurius.

However, she managed to dodge.

"I'll be back." she said as she teleported to safety.
"I'll be waiting." Sakura said as she blasted off, headed back towards the others.

"Lord Shuki, the other Rangers have been defeated." Carter reported.
"Never mind that. Go prepare your ultimate suits for battle." Shuki ordered.
"Yes sir." Carter said, heading off.
"Leo, it is now time for your group to engage." Shuki ordered.
"As you wish my lord." Leo said.

Just as Sai and the others had taken down a group of minions, the Lost Galaxy team teleported in.

"Well finally. We've been looking everywhere for you guys." Yuri said.
"Save it. We're here to send you straight to the Lost Galaxy just like the Ronins!" Damon shouted.
"Begin the spell Kai." Leo said.

Kai, who was carrying the book held it out and opened it up. Energy began to gather around the area. The wind howled and thunder crashed.

"Time to meet your end." Kai said.

Suddenly a blast flew into him, knocking him down and knocking away the book! Sakura alighted just as Ayame leapt over her and grabbed the book.

"Got it. Let's see, if saying it forwards sends people there, maybe if I say it backwards..." Ayame said.
"No!" Leo shouted. "Stop her!"

The Galaxy Rangers drew their swords and headed for Ayame, but Sakura got in their way.

"You're not getting my sister without getting through me first."

Sakura unloaded with her weaponry, pinning them down.

"Ayame! Hurry up! I won't be able to hold them off forever!" Sakura shouted.
"Atnoek Avorak Etinalem Avokah!" Ayame chanted.
"Nooo! She's casting the spell in reverse!" Damon shouted.
"I sure hope this works." Ayame thought.
"A thousand dreams will now come true. Space will twist and then rip in two."

As Ayame continued, Sakura, Suiren, and Yuri opened fire at an increased rate. The Lost Galaxy team pulled out their own blasters and fired back.

"The three of us can't hold him off!" Suiren said.
"Then permit us to assist!" Hariel said from Dark Inferno. "Forgotten Souls...NOW!"

In rapid succession all the Forgotten Souls let loose with their sure-kills, knocking the Rangers for a loop and flying. The girls continued to hold him down. As Sakura unloaded shot after shot, she glanced over, only to see that Sai and Ran were not there!

"Reality begins again, and time is unbound..."
"Where the hell did Sai go?" she shouted.
"He said he had some business to take care of." Yuri said.

Elsewhere, as the firefight continued, Sai stood there with Ran, both with their helmets off.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye then." Ran said.
"Only for a while." Sai said.
"Yeah." She said.
"It was fun while it lasted." Sai added.
"Yeah." Ran said.

(Ai no Ai no Hoshi kicks up)

Hundreds of thoughts raced through Ran's mind. Memories flashed in an instant of all that had happened between the couple in the past two or three days. Her heart was swelling with love like she had never known before. But her mind argued with itself over whether it was wise to stay the innocent girl he fell in love with or to become the matured girl he seemed to want now. One that was not afraid to kiss him. She thought for a moment how her sisters would handle this, and realized, she had to take a chance.

"Sai..." she said, her voice sounding more mature than it had ever before.
"Yes Ran?" Sai asked.

She looked at him as her heart raced even more. He seemed even more handsome than usual. She could feel the warmth of his life force. She could feel hers surging uncontrollably. So this was true love. Slowly she was drawn towards him, closer and closer.

"You know how you said I should kiss you when I'm ready?..." Ran said.
"Yeah." Sai said, not knowing what to expect.
"...I'm ready."

As the chorus flared up Ran embraced Sai, caught unawares and touched her lips to his and closed her eyes. Sparks flew, pyrotechnics cascaded through the sky, life force spread like wildfire...

(Music stops, Sai and Ran stop kissing.)

Whoops, sorry. You two keep going.

...Ahem, crashed like a tidal wave as the two declared their undying love for each other. Time seemed to stand still. They were frozen in the moment.

"Screw their moment! We're busy here!" Sakura said as she fired like a madwoman. "Geez, we're trying to make the world a safer place for anime and those two have the nerve to have a kissing scene! I thought Destonus ruled that love sucked and was a worthless emotion the world no longer needed?"
"Let them have their moment. I'm sure you're waiting for yours." Yuri said as she continued to unload.
"Yeah, but I can wait until after a battle. ARE YOU DONE YET AYAME!" Sakura shouted.
"Yeah yeah I know. As galaxies lost become Galaxies FOUND!" Ayame shouted.
"FINALLY!"

Sakura unloaded one last blast from her Sonic Flechette Cannon, burying everyone but Leo in so much rubble they could not even survive it.

Back in the Lost Galaxy, a portal opened up like the one the guys had come in.

"There's the way out! Run for it!" Anubis shouted.

The group made a mad dash for the portal with Gene in hot pursuit, demanding his payment. The group dove through as it closed behind them. Gene and Aisha then went into a long string of profanity.

(Outlaw Star Eyecatch)

"Sakura! The guys are on their way back! Let's get out of here." Ayame said.
"Right. You ready to go Ran?" Sakura asked.

Ran walked up with her helmet on.

"Yeah. I'm ready." she said.
"Let's get going then." Yuri said.
"Good luck." Hariel said.
"Thanks." Sakura replied.

Sai gave Ran one last goodbye hug.

"You take care of yourself now, okay?" he said just before he let go.
"You got it." Ran said.
"See ya Sai!" Ayame said.

Meanwhile...

"Help! My Rangers have been defeated, the Ronins are returning! Help me! We can beat them! Just give them a little help."
"FOOLISH HUMAN! THIS IS THE LAST TIME! THEY HAD BETTER USE THIS GIFT WISELY, FOR IT WILL BE THEIR LAST!" the being roared.
"Thank you all powerful one."

As the girls prepared to teleport back to the palace, the pile of rubble began to stir. In a matter of seconds the four thought to be dead Rangers broke out and were glowing in their respective colors.

"You thought we were dead, but now we're back." Kai said, his voice sounding almost demonic.
"It is time for you to meet your end." Damon said, his voice sounding very similar.
"You will finally be destroyed." Maya added.
"We are now all powerful once again." Karone finished.
"Sorry, but we've got a train to catch. Wish we could stay!" Suiren said.
"Fire!" Sakura shouted.

They all unloaded with their sure-kills and ordinance, but energy fields appeared in front of them, blocking everything!

"It can't be...How did those bastards learn how to generate AT Fields?" Yuri wondered.
"Um, guys, I don't know about you guys, but my scanner's off the scale! It's registering a power level close to..."
"Close to what?" Sakura wondered. Then she knew, and was scared. "You don't mean..."
"That couldn't be possible..." Yuri added, also afraid.
"Screw this!" Sakura said, leveling the VTS AG at them. "It's time for you Multicolored Moders to DIE!"

She fired four times, neutralizing their AT Fields.

"Okay, fire everything you've got while they recover!" Sakura shouted.

Sai, the Forgotten Souls, even Hyuuga opened fire with their sure-kills and attacks, which flew at them, causing a huge explosion. When the smoke cleared, there was another AT Field.

"It can't be...how could they...how could they...AAAAAAAH!" Sakura screamed, firing again and again...

Only to find out she was out of ammo.

"DAMMIT!" She said as she struggled to reload before they tore her to pieces.
"We've got another problem. There's another power heading this way and it'll be a few more minutes before the Guys arrive on this end! We're doomed!" Ayame shouted.
"I'm not dead yet! Take this!" Yuri said, charging at their AT Field, smashing through it with her Knuckle Bomber. They looked at her and sent her flying back with a blast of force, knocking her unconscious.
*"ONEESAN!"

Ran wanted to attack, but Suiren stopped her. "They're mine."

Suiren gripped her sword and charged at them, screaming die at the top of her lungs. But they recondensed their AT Fields into an energy blast and sent her flying to unconsciousness as well.

*"Suiren!" Ran shouted.
*"They're mine!" Sakura shouted as she disengaged from the Motorslave, which continued to unload on them as she readied her swords in midair.

"KODATCHI NINTOURYUU...Kaiten Kenbu...Roku..."

Before she could even strike they knocked her away with a power punch. Sakura managed to get to her knees, holding herself up with her sword.

*"SAKURA!" Ayame shouted.
*"It's okay. It'll take more than that. I'm just warming up." Sakura said.
"Now for the last two." Kai said.
"To get there before me." he said.
"What do you mean, get there before you?" Ayame asked.
"All will be revealed in time." Navcase said, covering his arm again and starting to disappear.

The words and scene echoed through Ayame's head. She did not even have time to ponder as she heard a loud roar.

(Epistle kicks up)

She looked to find Navcase flying through the air with his sword and in full armor.

"DIE DEMONS!" He screamed as he slashed through their AT Fields in one fell swoop.

He roared again. Ayame was afraid. There seemed to be no sign of the gentle wanderer. There was only death. And he was now the devil. She had never seen Navcase this enraged before. Not since she watched him fight the Mystic Knights from the palace. This was bad. Really bad.

Kai swung at Navcase, but eyes glowing, he blocked, shattering his Quasar Saber in the process.

"You are nothing more than mere puppets being held by the strings of evil power. Darkness, DIE!" he roared, plunging his sword into Kai's chest, causing blood to spill everywhere as he perished. Damon swung his sword at Navcase, but he grabbed the blade and stopped it with one hand, before bending it with supernatural strength before blasting him into a wall with his emerald blasts, shattering his spine in another splash of blood. Ayame called out to him as he blocked Maya's feeble attempt to stop him.

"Navcase Stop! You've got to get rid of the armor!" Ayame shouted, pleading.
"NOT..." he said, going into a Ryu Kan Sen that sliced off her head, "UNTIL EVERY LAST ONE OF THOSE DEMONS IS DEAD!" he bellowed.

He grimaced in pain as the curse took an even greater hold on him. Fighting it, he began gathering energy in his Emeralds, blasting Karone's arms off and then running her through with his sword. The sword still stuck in her, he dispelled it as the others got to their feet. He collapsed, and Ayame ran over. Inspecting him, she noticed his arm was scalier that it was before when he came to her in her dream. Before she could help him, he ran off.

"If those guys are what I think they are, that means you know who's here so we should get out of here fast." Ayame said. "Ran, you go help up Yuri, I'll get Suiren." she said.

Ran nodded and helped up her very heavy older sister. Thank goodness for the added strength.

"See ya Sai. We'll be back, we hope..." Ayame said as they vanished from sight.
"What was that all about?" Hariel wondered.

Just then they heard angry breathing. Leo had entered the scene. He looked around and saw his dead comrades.

"Kai...Damon...Maya...Karone...I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU, FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"

Before Sai or the others could argue that Watase-sensei* was writing his lines, Leo screamed Red Armored Ranger and powered up. Seconds later he was joined by the five Lightspeed Rangers. Carter was wearing an armor similar to Wing Gundam. Chad was once again Vayeate. Joel was decked out in Tallgeese III. Kelsey was using Heavyarms Custom II, while Dana still used Mercurius.

"Now you pay." Carter said.
"I don't think so." A voice said.

Atop a building, Ryo stood, his swords ready for action.

"Don't forget about me." Kento's voice said. He prepared as well, on another building.
"You started a fight without me? I'm hurt." Sage added, readying his sword for combat.
"You guys are going down." Rowen said.

Sai looked as the Dark Warlords entered as well.

"We have a score to settle with you." Anubis said.
"What happened here?" Kale wondered.
"We can worry about that later. First let's take care of these guys." Dais said.
"An excellent idea." Sekhmet added.

They also readied their weapons.

The Warriors stood there, sizing each other up. In moments the combat would begin.

The Ronin Warriors have rejoined their companion Sai of the Torrent. The final battle is about to begin between these two opposing sides. But what of Navcase? And what about the girls? What caused them to act as they did? Do our combined heroes actually stand a chance against these odds?

(ED Credits roll, then we hear:)

Ran: Hey everyone! It's me Ran! In our next episode, my main man Sai and his buddies go hand to hand and weapon to weapon with the Lightspeed Rangers' little toys. What? Kinjiro's got a secret? I wonder what it could be? And Gingaman's back? Whoohoo! But is this enough? Find out in the final episode of Ronin Warriors: Lightspeed Galaxy, Victory at Last!

Gene: You better get Ready! Hey! I should get paid for saying my catch phrase, and for helping them out!

Ayame: Oh MOOOOM! There's an angry Outlaw who wants his pay...

*Hijikata- Co-captain of the Shinshengumi. He shows up in the Kenshin OAV, but he's the guy Aoshi's based off of according to Nobuhiro Watsuki.
*Kanesada- Another Hijikata joke. This was the name of his sword. Fitting that it's name of Sakura's Motorslave.
*Watase-sensei: Creator of Fushigi Yuugi. I'm only saying this because his line is similar to Tamahome's when he finds out...er, I don't want to spoil it for those who are in the process of seeing it or haven't seen it.
