Power Rangers Samurai vs. Ronin Warriors
Chapter 11: The Man with the Yellow Bottle.
Dollster supplied by Dash Master 48.
Kouta and Micchi found themselves in what looked like a dollhouse.
"How'd we get in here?" Kouta asked.
"I think those balls we got hit with did it, Kouta-san." Micchi explained.
"Ha ha ha! Welcome to my Dollhouse boys!" A voice said.
An oversized demon doll with black skin and wings appeared before them.
"There are five houses. One is made out of red bricks; one is made out of blue bricks, one made out of purple bricks, and one of yellow bricks. What is the green house made of?"
After Micchi translated for Kouta, he thought about it for a split second and exclaimed, "Green Bricks!"
Kouta was hit with a beam, turning him into a S.H. Figurarts Armored Rider Gaim in Kiwami Arms!
"Wrong answer! What about you? Can you get it right?"
Micchi took much longer to ponder the question than Kouta did, and finally answered. "Glass. Because it's a greenhouse that you store plants in, not a house made of green bricks."
"NOOO! Curse you smarty-pants! I guess you get to go free!" The monster declared, throwing its ball at Micchi, who quickly grabbed and hid Action Figure Kouta before ending up back in Panorama.
"Mai-san's not going to like this…let alone believe this." Micchi said to himself as he bumped into a familiar silver pirate. Gai stepped back in shock.
"You! You're Armored Rider Ryugen!" He exclaimed.
"Yes..." Micchi replied, not sure where this was going.
"Can I please have your autograph!?" Gai insisted.
"Um, sure…" Micchi replied, signing Gai's book.
"Say, is your bud Gaim around?" Gai asked after Micchi had finished.
"He's a little tied up right now…" Micchi replied, before he got a phone call from his pocket courtesy of Kouta.
"Um, that was Gaim just now! He says I can sign his autograph on his absence!"
Following the instructions from Kouta, Micchi signed with Kouta's logo of a sword in a circle, as well as his title and name.
"THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" Gai said, bowing profusely and heading off.
"Mai-san wouldn't believe that either…" he said to himself.
Elsewhere in Panorama, a man with a large backpack, fiery red hair, and cargo pants was eating at Gold Sushi.
"Thanks for waiting! Do you need any soy sauce or anything?" Genta asked.
The man wagged his finger at the sushi chef.
"Nope! I've got my own condiments!"
The man produced a yellow bottle of mayonnaise (which was marked in Japanese with the words "my personal bottle") and he began putting it on his sushi!
"Hey! You can't put mayo on sushi!"
"Why not? Mayonnaise is the greatest food ever invented!" The man explained.
As he continued to put mayo on his sushi, a small toy griffin carrying a flyer landed at the stand.
"Oy, Griffin! Whatcha got there?"
"Wow! A mayonnaise convention! I've gotta check that out while I'm here."
The griffin growled at its owner.
"Right! Right! We gotta find Haruto first. Keep looking Griffin-chan!"
The griffin took off again in search of the Magician of Hope, as people were running in terror from the monster that captured Kouta and Micchi earlier.
The man with the mayo bottle quickly paid for his sushi and boldly headed in the opposite direction towards the monster while Genta ducked behind his stand to turn into Shinken Gold and drag this lunatic away from the Nighlok when Daigoyou said, "Hey Boss, you've gotta see this!"
Genta peeked up over the counter to see the man from before boldly facing the Nighlok!
"Yo! Phantom!" He shouted at the Nighlok.
"Phantom? I'm not a Phantom, I'm a Nighlok!" The monster corrected.
"Well, I'm still gonna eat ya anyway!" The man declared.
He held a ring with closed doors on it over his belt buckle, and it declared, "Driver On!"
Going through a series of dramatic arm motions, he called out, "Henshin!" inserting a ring with a lion's head into a slot on the side of his belt buckle as it called out "Set!" and turned it like a key, opening the doors to reveal a lion's head as the Driver declared "Open!" As a magical seal appeared and passed over him as his buckle declared "L-I-O-N! LION!", as he transformed into a black and gold warrior with a gold helmet that strangely had bug eyes.
"Now, it's Lunchtime!" He declared, pulling a sword from his belt buckle and began using a fencing type style as he attacked the Nighlok.
Back in the Netherworld, the man in orange was conferring with his associate in the RPM world.
"Are the dispensers ready yet?"
"One's done. The others will be completed soon!"
"Excellent. Have some Grinders accompany it to a key position in the city and have them guard it. I have a Nighlok in the city now, which should attract the Samurai. They won't know what hit them." He said with a smile as he drank more of the special sake.
At the Go-Onger suite, Yoko, Miu, and Saki came back from the pool to find Hiromu frozen like a statue.
"What's wrong with him?" Saki asked.
"It's his weak point, but I don't see any chickens."
"Hey! Snap out of it! I just wanted to say hi!" Came the voice from Toripter's hologram in his charger.
"Toripter? How long has he been like this?" Miu asked.
"Well Aneki, I heard someone walking in, so I popped out to say hi, and then this guy turns into a statue!"
"It's not your fault Toripter. If Hiromu gets surprised or startled he freezes up like that." Yoko explained.
"What? He's never seen an Engine before?" Toripter asked.
"It's not that. Hiromu has an extreme fear of chickens, so when he saw you, he froze up." Yoko said.
"That's the craziest thing I've ever heard!" Toripter said exasperatedly.
"Well, your Aniki and Aneki are afraid of ghosts." Miu reminded him.
"Maybe we should move your charger into the Ginjiro with the others, just in case Miu-san." Saki suggested.
"How are Renn, Jin-san and Hiroto-san coming with those Buster Souls?" Yoko asked.
"Well I went to check on them earlier today and they shooed me away, so I guess they'll let us know when they're finished?" Miu answered.
At the Shiba House, the Gap Alarm went off, interrupting sword practice as six Samurai Rangers rushed out the front door with Navcase behind them. Sakura had been busy polishing and sharpening her katana while Suiren had dragged one of their futons out front and was doing some sunbathing in a green bikini, which earned Mike a slap in the face by Emily.
"Nighlok?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah. You two coming?" Jayden asked.
"Wouldn't miss it. It's about time!" Sakura answered.
"I wouldn't mind missing it; it's so nice out…" Suiren replied, folding her arms behind her head and closing her eyes.
"NOW, SUIREN!" Sakura shouted angrily and impatiently, "AND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, GET YOUR DAMNED ARMOR ON BEFORE THE BOYS' EYES EXPLODE AND WE DROWN IN THEIR NOSEBLEEDS!"
Suiren sighed and donned her armor, as Sakura did the same and two hopped on Kanesada. The Samurai piled into their SUV and both vehicles sped out the front gates towards the battle.
Back near the docks, the mayo loving Kamen Rider continued to fight the new Nighlok, who began to panic and fortunately to his relief a platoon of Moogers showed up. Watching from the relative safety of their stands, both Antonio and Genta decided separately and simultaneously that this stranger could use some backup, so they brought out their henshin devices and transformed.
"Good! You brought me some appetizers!" The Mayo Rider declared.
Suddenly, both the Gold Samurai Ranger and Shinken Gold arrived on the scene and cut down some of the Moogers with their specials!
"Hey! Who are you guys and why are you attacking my appetizers?"
"I'm the Gold Samurai Ranger." Antonio answered.
"Shinken Gold! Umemori Genta!" Genta answered. "Appetizers? You just ate at my stand!"
"You're the sushi seller? These guys aren't for me, they're for my partner! He's a little sick of Helheim Fruits lately." The man explained. "Oh! I should introduce myself! I'm Kousuke Nitoh, Kamen Rider Beast!"
"I don't care who you all are! You're all going to my dollhouse!" The monster declared, only to be hit by discs!
"Goyou De Goyou De Goyou De!" Daigoyou declared, firing at the Nighlok, who suddenly started to dry up.
"Guess I'll have to turn you into dolls later! Back to the Sanzu!" The monster shouted, disappearing through a Gap with the Moogers as Jayden and the Samurai arrived on the scene.
Kousuke grabbed his bag from Gold Sushi and started walking in the direction of the Mayonnaise Convention.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Genta asked.
"Somewhere else! You Gold guys chased away my lunch!" Kousuke shot back, calling on his Falco Mantle and flying off.
Genta dove dramatically behind his stand and changed back to normal as the Samurai Rangers were having a conversation.
"Who was that guy Antonio?" Jayden asked.
"Which one? They were both crazy Japanese people." Antonio asked. Mia smacked him upside the head.
"Not all Japanese people are crazy Antonio." Mia explained.
"Just the ones we seem to be running into lately." Mike answered, who also received a whack upside the head.
Jayden sighed, and then clarified, "The one with the rapier that just grabbed his bag from the sushi stand and flew away."
"He called himself Kamen Rider Beast, and said his name was Kousuke Nitoh. That's all I understood."
"Hey! You!" Mia called to Genta.
"Mako? What are you doing here? I thought you were at Mister Brown's?" Genta asked.
"Mako? You must think I'm Shinken Pink. No, I'm Mia." she explained. "You must be their friend Genta. Don't worry, I won't tell my team who you really are, but I do know your friend Mako, so can you tell me what happened?"
"Well, first this guy came up to my stand and ordered some sushi; he had the nerve to put mayonnaise on it…"
"And then the Nighlok…er, that monster showed up?" Mia asked, assuming that Genta would have no idea what a Nighlok was. She made a mental note to ask Mako and the others what the Shinkengers called the monsters they fought next time they met.
"Yeah, and then some Nanashi Renjuu showed up so I figured he could use a hand, and your Gold apparently thought so too, but when we went to help him, he yelled at us for attacking his appetizers!"
"I see. Could you let the other Shinkengers call me if they see him around town?" she asked.
"Sure! I'll let them know." Genta replied.
"Thanks again."
Returning to her own team, Mia filled them in on what she'd learned from Genta.
"A guy who eats Nighlok? This town keeps getting weirder and weirder." Mike grumbled.
"Let's get back to the house. The Nighlok will be back once he's taken a dip in the River, and we'll be ready for him." Jayden said.
"What about the lion guy?" Emily asked.
"We can't worry about him right now, but if he's interested in eating that Nighlok, we haven't seen the last of him either." Jayden explained.
The Samurai, She-Ronin and Seishi got back into and on their vehicles and headed home.
Relaxing by Mr. Brown's pool as usual, Mako received a call from Genta. Chiaki had joined them; the other boys were sparring with Haruto while his three familiars were playing with the Origami.
"Hi Genta. Calm down, calm down, a guy putting mayonnaise on sushi isn't going to cause the Sanzu to overflow… An Ayakashi showed up near your stand? The mayonnaise guy wanted to eat it?"
Overhearing Mako's conversation with Genta, Haruto put the sparring on hold and the three powered down and headed over to the pool.
"Mako, can you ask Genta if the guy who put mayonnaise on his sushi transformed like I do." Haruto asked.
"Genta, did this guy transform? He did?" Mako replied.
"What's up Haruto? You know this guy?" Chiaki asked.
"Yes. His name is Kousuke Nitoh, also known as Kamen Rider Beast. Rinko-chan must have sent him to look for me after I teleported."
"Is Rinko-chan your girlfriend Haruto-san?" Kotoha asked.
"No. She's a detective. She must have heard from colleagues here in Panorama that someone matching my description was seen and then had Kousuke come look for me. "
"Why would he want to eat an Ayakashi though?" Ryunosuke asked.
"Like me, he has a Phantom inside him. But unlike Dragon, his requires that he devour other Phantoms, otherwise he'll die." Haruto explained.
"Are Phantoms similar to Ayakashi?" Kaoru asked.
"They're born from people with high magical energies who fall into despair, but Kousuke and I defeated all the Phantoms already. He must think that the Ayakashi is a Phantom."
"Is it possible for him to eat an Ayakashi?" Takeru asked.
"I'm not sure. I would say about a fifty-fifty chance of it working. Unfortunately, those are the only odds Kousuke believes in, so I would say there's a one hundred percent chance of him trying to." Haruto explained.
"Ssh! I'm still talking to Genta. What? One of the Samurai questioned you? Which one? Don't worry, she's on our side. You're not going to believe this, but Haruto knows the mayonnaise guy. Yes, I'll tell Haruto, Bye Genta…."
"So now what do we do?" Chiaki asked.
"All we can do is wait." Takeru explained.
"What I want to know is why our Shodouphones didn't let us know there was an Ayakashi in town!" Ryunosuke wondered.
What Ryunosuke did not know, is that Ji had found the bug that the Shinkengers had placed to send the coordinates to their Shodouphones, and disabled it, not knowing what it was doing there in the first place. Meanwhile, Kevin was going through the records to see if this Nighlok was in there as well.
"Found it. It's known as Dollster. Apparently it captures people in its dollhouse and forces them to answer trick questions correctly or it turns them into dolls."
"That's the dumbest one yet!" Mike exclaimed. "Who'd be stupid enough to get turned into a doll?"
Back at the Team Gaim suite, Micchi was trying to explain just that to Mai.
"Micchi, how stupid do you think I am? Cracks, and Inves, those are one thing. But some monster trapping you in a dollhouse and turning Kouta into an action figure is a little farfetched, even for you."
"Mai-san, I'm telling you the truth. Kouta-san answered his question wrong and he got turned into an action figure. " Micchi explained again. "I guess I have no choice but to show you."
Reaching into one of his pockets, he carefully removed Kouta from it and placed him on the countertop.
"You've thought of everything, haven't you? "
"He hasn't thought of anything Mai! Do you think I like being an action figure?" Action Figure Kouta exclaimed.
"K…K…K…Kouta?" Mai stammered.
"Micchi's telling the truth. As far as I know, I'm stuck like this until that monster's destroyed."
Between this development and the fact that their chances of winning in the Finals just went downhill, Mai fainted.
The next morning at Mr. Brown's, the Shinkengers and Haruto were having breakfast, and at the same time trying to figure out where Kousuke might be.
"Well, there's no interesting archeology exhibits going on in town this week, so that eliminates that as a place for him to be." Mako replied.
"He's a bit of a drifter. Is there anything in the local police reports of a guy matching his description being kicked out of a park?" Haruto asked.
"Not seeing anything. Any other ideas?" Mako asked.
"Geez, if only there was a mayonnaise convention here in town, he'd be sure to go to that, right Haruto?" Chiaki asked.
"Chiaki, there are no such things as mayonnaise conventions." Mako answered.
Suddenly proving her wrong, the morning variety show they were watching had a reporter coming to them live from the 35th Annual Panorama City Mayonnaise Lover's Convention!
"See!? See!? There is such a thing!" Chiaki exclaimed, pointing at the TV.
"And where there's mayo, we're sure to find Kousuke." Haruto replied.
Using his Connect Ring to bring his Rider Machine in, Haruto sped off while the Shinkengers once again, at least temporarily became a motorcycle gang as they used their phones to kanji up some bikes.
Sometime later, at the Mayonnaise Convention…
"Well, if he was here, he's left by now." Chiaki answered, disappointed that the case was not complete.
"I asked some of the vendors, they said he was here earlier, but they haven't seen him since." Mako explained.
"Damn! And this was the best lead we had!" Chiaki complained.
"Haruto-san, can you think of anything else?" Kotoha asked.
"Like Chiaki said, this was our best chance, so we'll have to do it the hard way." He explained, putting on a series of rings and summoning his three familiars.
"We'll have the Origami search too." Takeru answered.
Garuda, Unicorn, and Kraken headed off in different directions while the Origami fanned out as well, hoping to find Kamen Rider Beast.
Elsewhere in the city, Kousuke was having breakfast at an outdoor café, as usual, rather than butter or syrup on his pancakes, Kousuke of course put mayonnaise on it. He had almost finished up his breakfast and was going to head back to the convention to see if he could pick up some more varieties of mayonnaise when Dollster returned through a nearby dimensional gap with a group of Moogers.
"Aha! You're back, Phantom!" Kousuke declared.
"I told you I'm not a Phantom, I'm a Nighlok!"
"I'll tell you what you are; you're food for my Chimera!" Kousuke shot back, activating his Driver and then inserting his ring to transform.
"It's Breakfast Time!" He proclaimed, drawing his Dice Saber as well.
At the Shiba House, the Gap Generator went off, which put early morning sword practice on hold and dragged the late sleepers out of bed and off to the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Mako received a call from Sakura, telling them that the monster had returned.
"It's back! So, Takeru, kuroko or samurai?" Chiaki asked.
"Kuroko for now. We will help the civilians escape while our counterparts deal with the Ayakashi. If anything happens to them, we will go forth as samurai."
"I will keep Kousuke from trying to eat the Ayakashi. He doesn't know it's not a Phantom, and we may not be able to save anyone affected by it if he eats it." Haruto explained.
Hurrying back to their bikes, the group rode off from the Convention to the location Sakura had given them, where Beast was already fighting with the Moogers and Dollster. The Kuroko Sentai Shinkenger fanned out and began to lead civilians away safely.
"I must defeat the monster before Kousuke can eat it." Haruto said to himself, bringing out his Flame Dragon Ring. "Henshin." He declared, flipping down its faceplate.
"Flame…Dragon. Bou Bou, Bou Bou Bou!" The Driver announced.
"Now, it's Showtime!" Haruto proclaimed, using his Connect Ring to bring out his WizarSwordGun and then using the Copy Ring to make a duplicate.
Placing his ring on the hand on both weapons, he attacked with a stream of flame and a flame slash at the monster.
"Mayonnaise! Don't eat it!" Haruto called out.
"I told you not to call me that! By the way, what are you doing here?" Kousuke asked.
"Me?! What are you doing here?" Haruto shot back.
"I came looking for you, and then I got sidetracked at the mayo convention. Now why can't I eat it?"
"If you do, we may not be able to reverse the effects caused by it. You must let the Samurai Rangers destroy it!" Haruto explained.
"Well Chimera's turning up his noses at those weird fruits lately, and if he don't eat, I die!" Kousuke shot back.
"You guys will make great action figures!" Dollster declared, throwing balls at the two, but Haruto used his Defend ring to protect them.
"The Samurai should be here by now. Oh well. Guess I'll have to do this myself." Haruto said, bringing forth the Drago Timer and attaching it to his forearm.
"Set Up!" It announced, as Haruto turned the dial to the red quarter of the wheel, and hit the thumb to start it up.
The Drago Timer ticked away as Haruto slashed at Dollster, as Water Dragon, Hurricane Dragon, and Land Dragon joined him one by one. Land Dragon used Bind on Kousuke, keeping him tied up as Water Dragon struck with Blizzard and Hurricane Dragon with Thunder, knocking the monster back. Kousuke broke free of his stone chains, so Land Dragon used the Gravity ring to pin him to the ground, not enough to squash him but enough to keep him immobilized while the other three Dragons went for Dollster.
"Not a problem! I'll trap your friends too!" Dollster shouted in the confusion, throwing balls at Haruto's summons, but being made of mana, they simply vanished. This unfortunately freed Kousuke as well.
"Let me at him Haruto!" Kousuke demanded.
"No Mayonnaise! If you want to eat something, try eating the foot soldiers." Haruto suggested.
"Alright! Time for some appetizers!" Kousuke declared, bringing out his Buffalo Mantle and spinning the wheel on his sword, and then sticking the Buffalo Ring in to stop it. A Six came up, so six buffalo mana constructs struck the Moogers, strangely destroying them and turning them into magic seals, which somehow Kousuke was able to eat!
"Well, that answers that question. Looks like it's time for Infinity!" Haruto said.
Then, if the situation wasn't crazy enough, it got crazier. The Samurai Rangers arrived on scene, as did Micchi as Ryugen (he had managed to convince Mai to let him use it if it would help restore Kouta to normal), and even stranger still, an S.H. Figurarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms attacking!
"Hey! Change me back!" Kouta demanded, as he attacked the shins of the monster with his Daidaimaru and Musou Saber, which was not going as planned because they were accessories rather than weapons since he was an action figure.
Mike charged the monster like a bat out of hell, only to be sucked into the dollhouse by a ball!
"Mike!" Emily screamed.
Inside the dollhouse, Mike found himself with various unlucky civilians who had gotten the questions wrong and turned into dolls.
"That does it." Jayden declared, going Super and causing the rest to go Mega. Elemental discs were attached, Sakura and Suiren got ready with their sure-kills, Micchi readied his gun for a barrage, and Navcase began gathering his ki and spirit for Hiten Mugen Zan.
"Looks like it's time for the Finale!" Haruto exclaimed, going into Infinity and bringing out the AxCalibur.
Back in the Netherworld, the man in Orange decided to level the playing field.
Giant Moogers and Spitfangs appeared in the city, intending to divert the Rangers' attention from the monster. Jayden contemplated their next move. They had to stop the monster to save Mike, but they could not ignore the Giant Moogers and Spitfangs attacking the city.
"Go! We'll take this guy out for you!" Sakura insisted.
Jayden and the other Samurai Rangers broke out the Samurai Megazord, with Lauren filling in for Mike.
Haruto began twirling the AxCalibur, channeling his mana into it as it got larger and larger in front of him, as Suiren let loose with her Thunder Bolt Cut, Micchi opened fire, Navcase charged and tore up the ground and knocked Dollster skyward, Sakura met it in midair and unleashed her Flare Up Now, and finally Haruto struck with his enlarged AxCalibur, destroying the monster, freeing everyone from the dollhouse and changing Kouta back to normal!
"Whew!" Haruto sighed.
Back in the Megazord fight, the Samurai were kind of on the ropes until Antonio arrived in the Claw Battlezord. With Mike back, Lauren went to the Bullzord.
"Hang on everyone, we can handle this." Jayden said, as they finished off another Spitfang.
"Don't forget about me! I'm going to turn you into a Deluxe Samurai Megazord!"
Suddenly the monster was hit by attacks from out of nowhere!
"Huh? Where did those come from?" Kevin wondered.
Joining the ever growing party were the Engines!
"GunGunGun!" Gunpherd declared, firing from his nose at Dollster.
"Let's go, Aniki!" Toripter said. "Bata Bata Bata!" he shouted, firing his weapons off at the Dollster as well.
Birca spun around shouting random Italian words as he sliced through Dollster.
"On On On!" Bus-On called, firing his missiles.
To make things stranger, Buster Hercules came in and opened fire as well! From the cockpit, a video call from Jin to J was demanding to know what J was doing with their Buster Machines.
"I am borrowing them." J answered. He struck with a Hercules Crisis which wiped out the Giant Moogers. The other Engines attacked the Spitfangs.
"Partner, we're running out of time, we'll have to let them take it from here." Speedor told Sousuke.
"That's all right; it was good to help out." Sousuke replied.
"Okay! Samurai Gigazord!" Jayden declared, bringing all their mecha together and opening fire, finishing off Dollster.
"Samurai Rangers…" Jayden started.
"Victory is ours!" Lauren finished.
"Checkered Flag!" The Go-Ongers called out.
In Genta's absence the Kuroko did a victory clap.
"Come on Kousuke. You can stay with the Shinkengers." Haruto explained.
"You're not coming back?"
"There must be some reason that fate brought me here." Haruto explained.
"But I thought I brought you here." Kotoha asked.
"That's true as well, but like you always say, a pinch is a chance, right?" Haruto explained.
"At this rate, by the time we leave, Panorama City will be named the most exciting place to live in the world!" Chiaki commented.
"Hey! Pink Girl! You know the Samurai, right? Tell them I get to eat the next one!" Kousuke asked.
Mako whacked him upside the head.
Back in the Netherworld, the man in orange received a report from his colleague that the first dispenser was in place due to all the confusion.
"Good work. I think four more, and it should be enough to cover the city in Sanzu Gas."
Elsewhere in the city, Escape rejoined Enter.
"Did you have a good day off, Mademoiselle?"
"It was boring. I need to cause some trouble."
"Be my guest." Enter offered.
Escape smiled and brought out her tablet.
This Brings this Chapter to a Close…
