Power Rangers Super Samurai vs Ronin Warriors

by Destonus

Keep in mind that the "vs" in the title doesn't necessarily mean they'll fight each other. It's meant more in the vein of sentai teamups where the team before the versus is the "home" team and the one after it is the "visiting" team. Five years after the defeat of Xandred, a mysterious letter shows up on Jayden's doorstep, the Samurai are thrust into someone else's conflict!

7. The Blonde in the Green Dress

Power Rangers Samurai vs. Ronin Warriors

Act 7: The Blonde in the Green Dress.

Gi was awoken by the sound of Sakura's motorcycle pulling in. He reached the door by the time the two were getting off.

"I thought we lost you as well. "

"It takes more than a horde of minor league Youkai to take us out." Sakura explained.

"Any luck finding out where the Rangers are?" Gi asked.

"No sign of that Cog guy, otherwise I would have beaten it out of him. We did find out the kuroko that have been pestering us are the Shinkengers, and they've agreed to help us until the Rangers get back."

Navcase said something to Sakura, who translated for Gi.

"Yes, I thought that was odd the two Shinken Reds also shared the same surname as Jayden. "

"Well, the Samurai Rangers did originate in Japan; perhaps the two you met are part of another branch of the Shiba family."

"They did have an identical arsenal to the Samurai Rangers, and they did know what they were doing against the Moogers, but it doesn't make sense why Navcase would have contacted Jayden and his team rather than the Shinkengers."

Sakura let out a long yawn.

"We'll figure it out tomorrow. Oyasumi nasai…"

Meanwhile, in Corinth…

As one day ended in Panorama, a new one was starting in Corinth.

"Good mornin' lads and lasses!" Flynn exclaimed as everyone sat down for breakfast. It was quite easy to tell that the Ranger boys had slept better than the Ranger girls.

"What happened to you guys?" Kevin asked.

"We were up most of the night talking." Mia explained, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Mike, why do you have your phone ready…" Emily asked sleepily.

"Because, Jayden and Lauren haven't seen Dr. K. in the morning yet."

Emily was too tired to remember or care. Just then, Dr. K. came down to breakfast dressed in very loud pajamas and dinosaur slippers. The instant Lauren and Jayden's jaws dropped, Mike snapped away.

"Good morning everyone, I hope you all slept well. After breakfast I will get back to work on reconfiguring the bio-field to allow the Samurai Rangers to return to their timeline. Gem, Gemma, I'll need your help."

"We'd be…" Gem began.

"Happy to help!" Gemma finished.

"So what are we supposed to do in the meantime?" Jayden asked.

Just then, as if in answer, the alarm went off!

"Up for a fight?" Scott asked.

"Well, if it'll kill some time, I'm up for it!" Mike answered.

Everyone but Gem and Gemma clambered into the RPM team's vehicles and they sped off to the location. Upon arrival, they found Grinders causing general mischief.

"Let's get to work." Scott observed. He and the rest of his team inserted their Change Cells into their respective Morphers while the Samurai brought out their Samuraizers.

"RPM! Get in Gear!" The RPM team shouted, pushing buttons and shifting handles on their Morphers.

"Samuraizers! Go Go Samurai!" The Samurai Team shouted, drawing their respective kanji in front of them.

Transformations completed quickly, and it was time for battle. The Samurai Rangers pulled out their Spin Swords and switched them into Mega Blades, and then proceeded to charge at the Grinders. But somehow the Grinders managed to push back, putting the Samurai in a bind which required the RPM team to charge in Nitro Blasters blazing.

"Let's try this again. Everybody find your respective color counterparts and work with them to divide and conquer. Antonio, since the Boom Twins aren't here right now, team up with Dillon. "Scott ordered.

Dillon with Antonio in tow charged the Grinders with a relentless fury, hitting them before Antonio could lay a Barracuda blade on them.

"Hey! Save some for me!" Antonio called after him.

Ziggy meanwhile, was harassing the Grinders by teleporting around, but his power level dropped to the point where the next one would de-morph him.

"Ziggy, your power level is very low. Be careful." The reply came from Dr. K.

"Hey Mike, got any ideas?"

"Just one." He replied, breaking out his Forest Spear. "Hack and slash!"

"I can do that!" Ziggy replied, pressing his belt buckle and summoning the Turbo Axe. "Take that, and that and that and that…wow, there's so many of you, this is going to go on for a while…"

Meanwhile, the sound of bagpipes sounded out of nowhere as Flynn went to town on the Grinders himself with his Nitro Sword. He activated his time shift, and took out a bunch in quick succession.

"Now for the finishing touch! TURBO CANNON!" He shouted, bringing out his special weapon and opening fire on a group of Grinders.

Elsewhere on the battlefield, several Grinders were nailed by Summer's Zip charger, followed up by Emily's own Earth Slicer. Mia followed it up herself with the Sky Fan, and high fives were exchanged all around the girls.

"Street Saber!" Scott called out, charging through a pack of Grinders. What Grinders survived were taken out by a twin Blazing Strike from Jayden and Lauren.

On to the battlefield stepped Cog himself.

"You may have stopped all my Grinders, but you're not going to take me that easily!"

"We took you out once, we can do it again!" Dillon declared.

Scott, Flynn, and Summer combined their weapons into the RPM Enforcer and inserted Engine Cell 1 into the back. Dillon and Ziggy formed the Turbo Plasma Launcher and placed Engine Cell 6 into the back of it. Using the Beetle and Tiger Discs, Jayden and Lauren converted their Fire Smashers into Cannon Mode and divided the discs down the middle between the two.

But before they could fire, Cog grew to giant size, but the Rangers fired anyway, the attack sending Cog back a few steps, but not enough to stop him.

"Doctor K, can you send the Zords?"

"Your Zords are on the way. I am setting up Paleomax to use the bio-field to bring the Samurai rangers home, so it will be unavailable. You'll have to make do without it."

The core five brought all their Zords together to form the Zenith Megazord, not wanting to take any chances. Following their lead, the Samurai deployed in the Claw Armor Megazord, while Lauren climbed into the Bull Megazord.

Removing the steering wheels in front of them and converting them into blasters, the five RPM rangers inserted special Cells into the slots on their Morphers, and prepared to attack.

"I would love to finish you off, but my master has other plans…" Cog declared before spiriting away.

*Rangers, I'm picking up a massive formation outside Corinth. I'm sending Gem and Gemma to intercept, but I need you to join them quickly. "

"I'll take the Battlewing and give them some air support." Lauren said, breaking out the Black Box and transforming into Super mode. She combined the three auxiliary Zords and took off to help out Gem and Gemma. The Megazords were disassembled and set out individually to attack the massive armada of tanks, mobile artillery and Venjix's usual machines.

"This is going to be a tough one…" Scott said to himself.

Meanwhile, back in Panorama…

The next morning dawned and Sakura emerged from her room and Navcase his. Upon arrival in the kitchen, they discovered that Gi had made them breakfast.

"I trust you two slept well." He said.

"About as well as I can on a futon. Any contact from Jayden and the others?"

"Unfortunately, no. We'll have to trust in Ranger Red and his team to get them back safely. In the meantime, is there any help you can bring from your end? "

"We hoped to hold off until the guy we think is working with the Nighlok made a move, but given the circumstances and since we can't rely entirely on the Shinkengers, I'll see what I can do."

She pulled out her cell and made a call. "Hello? Mom? Things are going okay here, but the Samurai Rangers got kidnapped. No, Tenma hasn't done anything major yet; he seems to be relying on the Nighloks for now. But we're in a bit of a bind, so you mind sending Suiren? We might have to get the ball rolling on the full task force. But Suiren's great for now. It's probably best to not teleport her in case Tenma's monitoring us. You're going to have Kinjiro fly her over on his G5? Great, thanks Mom."

"All is set?" Gi asked.

"My sister Suiren will be on her way soon. A friend of ours is going to fly her over on his business jet, so all we need to do is get her at the airport."

"Jibun Rock" sounded throughout the house and Gi immediately wondered what the racket was.

"Sorry, that's my ringtone. Hiii Suiren….How cute are the guys on the Samurai team? I don't know, I've been kind of busy fighting alongside them to check them out. Well one's taken, but the others are fair game. I don't know which one is the cutest! Argh, figure it out when you get here!"

"Something wrong?" Gi asked.

"That was my sister asking which one of the male Rangers was the cutest. I don't get her sometimes…"

Suddenly, her phone went off again!

"SUIREN! Oh, sorry, hi Kotoha. I thought you were my sister calling back. You, Mako, and Kaoru want to get together? I guess so, I suppose I can leave Navcase with the rest of your team, just please remind Genta that he's not Juzo."

"Where are you going?" Gi asked.

"Girls day out with the Shinkenger Girls." She replied. "Don't worry; I'm going to leave Navcase at where they're staying because he doesn't speak English. Call us if the Gap alarm goes off."

Upon arrival at Mr. Brown's (which took longer than expected because Kotoha neglected to tell Sakura where it was, and Mako had to give her directions), Genta ran for cover at the sight of Navcase and Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Who exactly is this Juzo that Genta thinks Navcase is?" Sakura asked.

"A very evil Samurai warrior, who carries a cursed sword and is part Youkai, allowing him to pass between our world and the underworld." Takeru explained.

"Oh-kay. Navcase? You're not part Youkai, are you?" Sakura asked. Navcase answered no.

"Is he from the Sengoku period?" Ryunosuke asked.

"Yes…" Sakura replied.

Ryunosuke's eyes gleamed at the reply and proceeded to bombard Navcase with questions. Sakura and the girls took that as a chance to get the hell out of Dodge.

"So where are we going?" Kotoha asked.

"The park, we've been trapped in at Mr. Brown's almost the whole time we've been here." Mako replied. "I brought us a picnic lunch."

The four found a spot and set up their blanket. Biting into the spread that Mako had brought, it was clear that Mako's cooking skills left much to be desired, but not wanting to say anything, Sakura forced herself to eat the horrible food.

"So, you guys came all the way from Japan just to be kuroko for the Samurai?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, it was Ryunosuke's stupid idea. He believes they needed them, and then dragged all of us into this mess. Then the Samurai disappeared, so in the meantime we're filling in. Do you know where they disappeared to?"

"Unfortunately no." Sakura answered.

"Could the Go-Ongers help? They found all of us when we got lost." Kotoha asked.

"Friends of yours?" Sakura asked.

"Engine Sentai Go-Onger. The sentai team that preceded us. They all got scattered amongst the different Brain Worlds, but Go-On Red was able to find his way back to the Human World, then we got scattered, but their Engines found all of us and we teamed up to take down the guy who started it in the first place."

"Did he have a giant gear for a head?" Sakura asked.

"You met him?" Mako asked.

"We might have, or his counterpart. He sent the Samurai somewhere but we have no idea where. Gi thinks they might have ended up in this alternate timeline again."

"You know Hikoma-san?" Kotoha asked.

"I think it's a different Gi, Kotoha. Ours is probably pulling his hair out wondering where we went." Mako explained.

"So why are you here Sakura-san?" Kotoha asked.

"My mother has reason to believe that someone very dangerous may have been recruited to resurrect a Nighlok named Xandred."

"Is that possible?" Mako asked."

"The Samurai aren't one hundred percent sure, but they're still looking for evidence that it can be done. Kaoru's awfully quiet; she hasn't said anything since we got here."

Looking over next to Kotoha, the answer became clear. The Princess was lying on her back, earbuds in, hands behind her head, completely relaxed.

"You asleep, Princess?" Mako asked. "Kaoru?" She reached over Kotoha and nudged her on the shoulder, which caused her to open her eyes and take out her earbuds.

"You asleep?" Mako asked.

"No, just resting my eyes. You need something?" Kaoru asked.

"No, just checking. Go back to sleep if you want." Mako replied. Kaoru put her earbuds back in and closed her eyes.

"What's her deal?" Sakura asked, pointing to the snoozing Kaoru.

"Believe it or not, she's Takeru's mother." Mako explained.

"Isn't she a little young?" Sakura asked.

"She adopted him. He was her kagemusha and was without purpose with her arrival on the scene, and since her job was to perfect the seal her father made in the last battle and it failed to work, her job was over as well. Seeing that everyone had chosen their paths for them, Takeru and Kaoru chose to make the next move in their lives themselves. So she adopted Takeru, and stepped down as head of the Shiba, naming Takeru her successor."

"Hime-sama usually dresses more formally than she is now, but it looks like she enjoys dressing casually." Kotoha added.

"Is your sister going to meet us here?" Mako asked.

"Not sure. I don't think she even knows where I am right now. But she's on her way from Japan, so it might take her a little while, even if she is taking Kinjiro's Gulfstream to get here. "

Shodouphones rang, and Mako was first to answer.

"Yes, Takeru? Okay, we'll meet you there." Mako replied before hanging up.

"Trouble?" Sakura asked

"That gear-headed guy you mentioned is back and he brought friends." Mako explained, nudging Kaoru awake. "Takeru said the guys and your samurai friend will meet us there."

Sakura leapt on Kanesada and the girls kanjied up bikes of their own and rode off to help Takeru and Navcase.

Elsewhere in Panorama, civilians ran in terror as Moogers threatened. The girls arrived first, having traded horses for horsepower. The boys had not arrived yet, but something had to be done.

"Ippitsu Shoujou!" Mako, Kotoha, and Kaoru called. Sakura summoned her armor as the girls donned their Shinkenger suits.

"Four against all this. It's going to be tough, and I'm not about to release my full sure-kill power."

"Ha ha! I just dealt with your friends; you'll be no trouble for me!" Cog exclaimed.

"Don't worry. Keep them busy for a little while. I have some friends that owe me a favor." Kaoru replied.

"Princess, I'm not sure delivering a letter in the clan's possession since the Sengoku qualifies as them 'owing you', but if you think it'll help!"

"Hey! No fair!" Cog exclaimed. "Never mind, I'll just send them packing too!"

"Non non non!" a voice said. A man in a silver coat with glasses appeared on the scene with an attractive woman in silver.

"My Majeste has other plans for you." He replied. Taking a cable with a sticky circuit pad, he attached it to Cog.

"Metavirus; haeru; Install."

Instantly Cog became a giant.

"Not good." Takeru has the Inomaru still." Mako replied.

"I will go in MougyuuDaiOh until the others arrive." Kaoru replied, finishing her call.

"MougyuuDaiOh! Peerless under Providence!" She announced, opening fire on Cog.

"These guys are really starting to annoy me…" Mako said as she sliced her way through Moogers.

"You handle the Moogers if you can. I'll take on the other girl." Sakura replied, brandishing her swords.

"This is Gog." The woman replied, kissing one of her guns. "And this is Magog." She replied, kissing the other one. "And I am Escape. I'm pretty good."

"Bring it, sister." Sakura answered.

Escape charged Sakura firing as she approached, Sakura's swings were blocked by Escape's guns, and the fight was on.

"I hope Hime-sama's friends get here soon!" Kotoha exclaimed as she took out Moogers.

"Kaoru's friends, where is Takeru?" Mako wondered…

"Ryunosuke, Navcase can finish his lecture on the Sengoku later! Mother and the other girls need us." Takeru explained.

Sure enough, a map had been set up in the living room, and Navcase was putting down his pointer and grabbing his swords while Takeru and Chiaki were trying to drag Ryunosuke out the door.

"Genta. Please go ahead of us and help Mother." Takeru instructed.

"Got it Take-chan!" Genta replied. Genta digitally kanjied up a horse with his Sushi Changer, and rode off to the battlefield.

Mako and Kotoha were on the ropes. Kaoru was doing what she could by herself against Cog. Sakura and Escape were quite evenly matched. All seemed lost when a digital blur raced past some of the Moogers! It stopped to reveal a Red leather armored warrior.

"Red Buster." He declared.

Energy blasts came from the side and dropped several more Moogers as a blue suited person came in with his weapon drawn.

"Blue Buster." He announced.

Shots came from above, some hitting, some annoying the foot soldiers as a yellow person rappelled down and joined them.

"Yellow Buster!" She declared, pulling her shoulder straps out.

A gold bug man approached quite nonchalantly, slashing and shooting more Moogers as he walked by.

"Beet Buster!"

Suddenly a Silver and blue bug man got directly in front of him and declared, "Stag Buster!", and he was shoved out of the way by the gold one.

The five formed up as if they were going to charge.

"Busters ready…?" Red Buster asked, then replied, "Go!"

Their theme song sounded as the reddish blonde man swore in French and unleashed wire tentacles at Red Buster, who blocked with his sword.

Beet Buster was cutting down enemies left and right, but exclaimed when he could not find his partner,

"J! Where the hell did you go?"

He looked over and found him with the two Shinken girls.

"I am Beet J Stag." He explained to them while fending off Moogers. "By the way the 'J' stands for…"

"J! INTRODUCTIONS LATER!" Beet Buster shouted.

J then simply stopped fighting and looked up.

"Now what?" Beet Buster shouted exasperatedly.

"There is a giant lobster man here."

"THANKS FOR THE UPDATE! NOW HELP ME!"

"Princess! Sorry to keep you waiting!" Genta declared as he arrived in DaiKaiOh.

"Strange seeing you here, Red Buster." Enter said.

"Same here!"

Escape managed to hold Sakura back long enough to summon Buglars to reinforce the Moogers.

"Mou! Buglars too!?" Yellow Buster moaned.

"Looks like we have no choice." Blue Buster sighed. "Do any of you ladies have fire or heat based attacks?"

Sakura raised her hand.

"I need you to hit me with a fire attack."

Sakura got close to him, with Escape on her heels, and placed her swords together.

"FLARE UP! NOW!" Sakura declared, going skyward and letting a blast of flame out that struck Blue Buster with the brunt of the attack, and knocked Escape back in the process.

"Now get back!" Yellow Buster shouted, leaping like a flea out of the way and motioning for everyone else to get to a safe distance.

"Okay, what did I just do?" Sakura demanded to know.

Blue Buster began roaring like a man about to go on a rampage and kill everyone in sight.

"When Ryuji overheats he goes berserk." Stag Buster explained, getting in the way of Yellow Buster before she could answer.

"Guess we better call Gorisaki…." She replied.

"I have already done that." Stag Buster answered.

"J!" Beet Buster shouted.

"I have also notified the pirates to come help us." Stag Buster reported.

"What did you do that for?! Do you have any idea where they could possibly be?" Beet Buster shouted.

"Gai-san's coming?" Kotoha asked.

"Yes, now we better make ourselves scarce or Ryuji-san will see us as targets." Yellow Buster explained.

Overheated and completely berserk, Blue Buster was on the rampage, taking out Buglars and Moogers with no mercy. While everyone else stayed out of his way, Sakura and Escape continued to go at it, as did Enter and Red Buster.

Blue Buster combined his two weapons, which declared, "It's time for Special Buster", and with a cry of "GO TO HELL!" He fired in a wide circle, taking down minion after minion with direct hits, before powering down and collapsing.

"Now what?" Mako asked.

"Wait for it…." Beet Buster replied.

"RYUUUUUJIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" A voice shouted. The assembled not currently engaged in combat turned to see a robotic blue gorilla with a scarf around its neck filled to the brim with cold packs.

"Now!" came the call from Yellow Buster, as she and the other two girls dragged Blue Buster from where he fell off to the sidelines, whereupon the cold packs were dumped on top of him, causing a great deal of steam to rise from him.

"Well, he's out of it. What now?" Mako asked.

In answer, chains descended from the sky and the Gokaigers, along with the remaining Shinkengers, arrived.

"I will go help Mother and Genta. Can you handle the rest?" Takeru asked.

Mako nodded as Takeru produced the Inomaru, went Super and called ShinkenOh to help out. More Moogers joined the fray and the three giant robots went at it against Cog.

"More?" Kotoha complained, even though Ryunosuke and Chiaki had joined the fight as well.

"Not to worry, Kotoha-chan! We're here to help!" Gai replied.

"Gokai Red!" Marvelous called.

"Gokai Blue!" Joe declared.

"Gokai Yellow!" Luka declared.

"Gokai Green!" Don declared.

"Gokai Pink!" Ahim said.

"GOOOOOOKAIIIII SIIIIIIILVEEEEEEER!" Gai proudly declared.

"Kaizoku Sentai!" Marvelous declared again.

"Gokaiger!"

"Let's make this Showy!" Marvelous declared as the Gokaigers swapped their swords and guns to their preferred style and charged forward.

Luka extended the chains on her swords, and whipped them around, slicing down minions. Joe, also dual wielding swords, cut down minions as well. Don, in true Don fashion, was doing more avoiding of the minions than destroying of the minions, so Ahim struck with some double barreled action from her pistols while the Shinkenger guys took out the stragglers. Marvelous was shooting some Moogers and slashing others.

"Hey! Let's use these!" Gai declared, holding up the Kurokishi key.

"Gokai Change!" They called out, inserting their Gingaman keys into the Mobirates, which called out "GINGAMAN!" This changed the Gokaigers into Seijuu Sentai Gingaman.

Out came the Seijuuken, and they charged hunched over at their opponents. Luka went as far as grabbing one by the neck and dragging it along the ground, while Ahim slashed up the face of yet another, but apologized, saying the suit made her do it.

"I don't know why I'm asking this, but can you do mages?" Beet Buster asked.

"Gokai Change!" They called out again, inserted the keys, and the Mobirates called out "MAGIRANGER!"

Minions were hit by Green Ground, Pink Storm, Blue Splash, Yellow Thunder, and Red Fire.

"Gokai Change!" They called again, inserting different keys. For some bizarre reason, the Mobirates did not change them into the team the keys represented.

"Why didn't it work, DUMBASS?" Luka shouted at Gai.

"Wait! Maybe you have to…" Gai said.

Sighing, the Gokaigers changed back into their normal selves, inserted the keys into their pistols, and then, at Gai's insistence, did a dance, and sure enough, it worked.

"YOU'LLL BE SURPRISED WHEN YOU HEAR ! KYOURUGER! THE STRONGEST BRAVES IN HISTORY!" The Mobirates called out in a different and extremely hammed up voice despite having no key inserted into it.

"It's gonna get wild…." Gai called out.

"Let's make this showy!" Marvelous called.

"No, it's 'Just try and Stop us…' Didn't you read the next volume of my guide…?"

"We did!" Don and Ahim called out.

"Let's use Armed On. I have this strange urge to make old man puns." Joe asked.

"AH MOU! Why am I black?" Luka shouted.

"That's, 'oh my!' Luka…" Gai corrected.

The Gokaikyorugers inserted two of the same Zyudenchi into the Gaburirevolvers, which called out "GABURINCHO!" And the names of the Zyudenryuu associated with it.

"Armed On!" They called, spinning the cylinders and running them down their arms with the exception of Gai.

"I hate this I hate this I hate this!" Luka shouted, dual wielding guns when she was used to dual wielding swords.

Marvelous pulled out the Zyudenchi for Kentarospiker, combined their personal weapons, and threw it towards the ground, the shockwave knocking many foot soldiers away.

"Let's finish this." Marvelous called out.

The group Gokai Changed back to their default forms and inserted their own keys and others into their side arms and turned them, which called out, "FIIIIIIIIIIIINALLLLLL WAAAAAAAVE!"

Gai inserted a special key into the bottom of his Gokai Cellular and called out "Gokai Silver! Gold Mode!"

The Final Waves were unleashed, and Gai performed his Gokai Legend Dream, where the spirits of the past Sixths attacked the enemy before Gai struck them himself.

"Let's go too!" Ryunosuke called out.

The Shinkengers inserted their elemental disks on their swords and spun them, cutting through the remaining minions with their attacks, finishing them off.

"Merci, Red Buster. This is where we say adieu." Enter called out, and he and Escape vanished.

"Now what are we going to do?" Kotoha asked.

"Samurai HaOh!" Ryunosuke called out.

Everyone from the Shinkenger climbed into aboard ShinkenOh, and all the mecha were brought together.

"Mojikara Daidan'en!" They called out, drawing the kanji of all their Origami, charging up the cannon on top of the machine, which fired and sent Cog down in a blaze of fireworks.

"Everyone! A clap of Victory!" Genta called out.

All the sentai people gathered clapped, and finally it was time for Takeru to declare,

"I suppose this brings this chapter to a close!"

"Does this happen often?" Sakura asked.

"Not really. It usually doesn't take us three full teams to take down that many foot soldiers and one monster of the day." Mako explained.

"How come destroying the monster didn't free the others?" Kotoha wondered.

"Well when that guy scattered us, it was the Engines that found everyone and brought them back to Japan." Chiaki interjected.

"TONO! WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME SUFFER!?" Ryunosuke asked. He was carrying an unconscious Kaoru on his back, as fighting for so long in such a powerful and complicated Origami as Ushii tired her out.

"You did not come into battle when I called. Therefore you must carry Mother home." Takeru explained.

"TONO! I'm SORRY!"

"That'll teach you to come and help us when we ask you to." Mako added.

"Well, it must have been an interesting lecture you gave if he couldn't tear himself away from it, eh Navcase?" Sakura asked.

"Never abandon me again with that man, Miss Sakura." Navcase replied.

A phone rang, and everyone immediately thought it was theirs, until Sakura called it.

"It's me. CRAP! SUIREN! Where are you?"

"I'm at the airport. Kinjiro's jet was really nice; we should use it more often." Suiren explained.

"I say we go celebrate!" Gai exclaimed.

"I'm fine with that, as long as it doesn't involve…chi…chi…" Red Buster explained.

"Chickens?" Kotoha guessed.

"NO WAIT!" Yellow Buster shouted, but it was too late. Red Buster was a statue.

"It's his weak point. It wears off eventually." Blue Buster explained.

"Say, Suiren? You hungry after your flight?" Sakura asked.

A short time later, as the Shinkengers, Go-Busters, and Gokaigers all dined together, a young woman in a green dress with blonde hair showed up. Sakura spotted her and motioned for her to come over to their table.

"I thought you said there were only seven Rangers." Suiren asked, confused at the circumstances.

"These aren't the Rangers. We're not sure where they went. Suiren, meet Takeru, Ryunosuke,
Mako, Chiaki, Kotoha, Genta, Kaoru, Hiromu, Ryuji, Yoko, Jin-san, Marvelous, Joe, Luka, Don, Ahim and Gai. Did I get everyone?"

The assembled Sentai people nodded.

"Nice to meet you all. The guys said once they met a whole bunch of you people and they went to the moon to rescue their female members."

Gai was immediately interested.

"Do you remember who were there?"

"I'm not very good with names, there were some dinosaur people, kung-fu people, ninja, a military group, car people, some high school students, and some people from a weird forest that all stopped by."

Gai's eyes lit up like a forest of Christmas trees.

"YOU HAD ZYURANGER, DAIRANGER, KAKURANGER, OHRANGER CAAAAARANGER, MEGARANGER, AND GINGAMAN IN YOUR HOUSE!?" Gai exclaimed, using his internal database of sentai facts to decipher Suiren's vague references like he figured out Navi's Treasure Navigation clues.

"Gai, why do you always have to talk about Carranger with that emphasis on the name?" Luka asked.

"Because that's how they say it."

"And that strange guy who gave us coffee milk said that was the source of their Grand Power or something." Ahim said.

"The guys even teamed up with the Carrangers and Megarangers for a while. And we helped Hyuuga from Gingaman save his team. But there was this family that wouldn't let them borrow their mecha so Anubis went and stole it." Sakura explained.

"Family? Were they teachers, wizards or rescue workers?" Gai asked.

"I think Ryo said they had giant rescue vehicles…" Sakura said.

"The Tatsumi's!" Gai knew immediately. "They met Matsuri-san before I joined up. " Gai finished, slightly disappointed that he never got to meet a member of GogoV.

"Hyuuga never told us they met you guys." Don said.

"I think he and Ryouma were a little busy trying to keep their Grand Power from being stolen by Basco to tell us how they met the Ronin Warriors." Joe said.

"Hey, Jin-san, where'd you put that robot of yours?" Sakura asked.

"He's in the Galleon with the other Buddyroids." Marvelous explained.

"Buddyroids?" Suiren asked.

"Our partners. They took care of us when we were little and they help us pilot the Buster Machines." Ryuji explained.

"We can also link up and they form armor for us." Yoko added.

The two She-Ronin noticed that Jin-san was not eating at all. But considering they were demigoddesses and it was something they never really bragged about, they decided not to pry.

"Okay, Ryuji, what's with going nuts when I hit you with my sure-kill?" Sakura asked.

"It's my weak point." Ryuji explained.

"Right, you said that when Kotoha said the c-word and Hiromu froze like a statue. What do you mean by that?"

"Each of the three Go-Busters has a weak point; it's the trade off from the vaccine program their parents installed in them as children." Jin-san explained. "Hiromu for example, can run very fast, but when he sees a certain barnyard animal, he freezes up. Ryuji has super strength, but if his body temperature reaches a certain point, he goes berserk until he passes out. Yoko can jump very high, but if she doesn't keep her sugar intake up she can't move her body at all.

"What about you? Do you have a weak point?" Suiren asked. Sakura wasn't sure if she was curious or if this was a pick-up line.

"Of course not! I'm too good for that. I make up for it with a robot I built with too many quirks."

"I take it Mr. French and Ms. I Love My Guns are enemies of yours?" Sakura asked.

"Enter and Escape? Yeah, they're with the Vaglass."

"But why would they be helping out Cog…" Sakura wondered.

"I saw an invisible train that none of my friends saw!" Kotoha blurted out randomly.

"Kotoha, there's no such thing as invisible trains…" Mako said.

"She's not lying Mako-san, I've seen it too." Gai explained.

"Gai-san, you've seen it too?" Kotoha asked.

"Yes, the reason only we can see it is because the others don't have enough…"

"Ah Mou! Here he goes again with the dramatics…" Luka moaned.

"IMAGINATION!" Gai exclaimed. Everyone at the restaurant looked at the Sentai table weird. Everyone but Gai tried to make themselves harder to see, especially the Gokaigers.

"So, any sign of Kashin's best friend?" Suiren whispered to Sakura as everyone promptly whacked Gai for being Gai.

"If he is involved in this, he hasn't shown his face yet. Although we did encounter a Nighlok that was juiced up something awful, so he may have had a hand in it." Sakura explained.

"So, are any of the guys cute?" Suiren asked.

"Suiren, let's try and get them back here first, and then you can decide if they're cute or not… Gi thinks" they're in another timeline with another Ranger team."

Unfortunately, the bill came and it was time for everyone to go their separate ways. Luka tried to put some distance between herself and Marvelous because he planned to pawn her jewelry to pay for it, but Jin-san told them not to worry and had the head waiter charge it to the Energy Management Center.

"Are you sure the Director's going to be okay with that?" Yoko asked.

"Relax! Kuro-rin and I go way back. It'll be fine!" Jin-san explained.

Back at the Energy Management Center, Takeshi Kuroki was sitting at his desk when a staff member placed a paper on his desk. Looking at the large number at the bottom of the page, he knew immediately who was responsible.

"JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!" He shouted, his voice resounding through the entire complex, from the now-empty mecha bays and then the city and the entire earth.

This brings this chapter to a close…
