Power Rangers Super Samurai vs. Ronin Warriors
Chapter 18: The Calm after the Storm.
"Libra…I assure you that I have been doing everything I can to support Majeste. It is him that is mistaken!" Enter insisted.
"That is for me to decide. His Malevolence seems to believe that your efforts have been quite light in supporting the plan. That is why I am here. I have brought Leo to add some muscle to our efforts, and Scorpio will fill in until Escape returns. I have heard that this dimension's Fourze and Meteor have been giving you trouble, correct?"
"Among other things, oui."
"Create one of your kaijin, and set it loose. Once they henshin, we will ambush them on their way to rescue the people of this city and capture them for Operation LHAPN!"
"And how do you plan to do that?" Enter questioned.
"With this." Libra explained, holding up a device. "This allows us to track when heroes henshin back home, it should work fine here as well."
At Mr. Brown's, Haruto was using Mr. Brown's computer to Skype with Wajima and the others back home. His Teleport Ring had failed to work since he arrived in Panorama, so he reasoned, as Wajima was the one who made it, he might have some idea as to why it wouldn't work.
"Oh! Haruto, good to see you." Wajima-san answered.
"Good to see you too, Wajima-san. Are the others around too?"
"Well, Rinko-chan's still at work; and Nitoh's there with you."
"Shunpei? Isn't he there at least?"
"No, he's not in today, Mayu-chan lives with Rinko and helps out here after school. Oh that's right; she said she wouldn't be in today because Shunpei's taking her to the movies."
"Sh-sh-shunpei?" Haruto stammered. "Taking Mayu-chan to the movies? You mean on a d-d..."
"Yes, they're going on a date; they've started seeing each other recently. Nitoh didn't tell you?"
"He seemed to forget that little detail." Haruto answered. "Anyhow, my Teleport Ring has been malfunctioning since I ended up in Panorama City. I can't use it to teleport back to Tokyo or anywhere else."
Wajima-san contemplated this for a moment.
"You said last time that after you disappeared, a girl said she played a song to summon dragons and accidentally summoned you, correct?"
Haruto nodded.
"Perhaps then, her song resonated with your rings, teleporting you to Panorama City. So perhaps there is something you must do for the one who summoned you before your ring will let you return."
"But what?"
"Sorry, I've got customers. I'll talk to you later Haruto, all right?" Wajima-san answered, before closing the connection.
Heading outside, Haruto immediately headed for Kousuke's tent. The primordial mayonnaise loving mage was in his sleeping bag outside, snoring away.
Driver On, Please!
"Shh!" Haruto told his Driver, as he switched on another Ring.
Gravity, Please!
Haruto levitated the sleeping Kousuke in the air, and let him drop over the deep end of the pool, which immediately woke him up as he struggled to get free of the sleeping bag and made it over to the side of the pool.
"Forget to tell me something?" Haruto asked.
"Wha? Is that why you dropped me in the pool?" Kousuke replied.
"When were you going to mention that Shunpei and Mayu-chan were seeing one another?"
"Oh that? Didn't think it was that important."
"Shunpei in a relationship I think qualifies as important. What does she see in him anyhow?" Haruto asked.
"Dunno, something about his goofiness I think is what she fell for after all she's been through. But it worked out for him too, since he's been able to make Rings for her to use."
"Hi guys." A voice said. Haruto turned around to see Kaoru clad in a white bikini with a beach towel, her iPod, and a bottle of sunscreen.
"Hello Kaoru-chan. What are you up to?"
"Just thought I'd relax by the pool. I think Mako-san's still in bed, Ryunosuke-san left a note on the island that he took Takeru, Chiaki, and Kotoha to some samurai museum in town. Why's Kousuke in the pool?"
"Say no more!" was his reply.
"He was supposed to tell me that two of my friends are going out with one another."
Kaoru nodded, and then yawned.
"Perhaps a nap is in order first?" Haruto asked.
"Come to think of it, maybe that's a good idea." Kaoru said, as she headed over to one of the chaise loungers, spread out her towel, laid down on her stomach and undid her straps.
"Do you mind getting my back? Kaoru asked.
"You sure?" Haruto asked.
"Yeah, I trust you."
With her permission, Haruto proceeded to lotion up Kaoru's back and shoulders, as she put her earbuds in place and placed her iPod on a nearby table, turned her head sideways and closed her eyes.
"That good, Kaoru-chan?"
No response, other than a sigh.
"Kaoru-chan?" Oh well, sweet dreams."
Meanwhile, at Shiba House…
"Hey guys, let's go to the beach!" Emily insisted.
"I don't know Em. That Tenma might be back to the drawing board, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's done with us." Jayden explained.
"Jayden, you really need to have fun every once in a while, and while you still can. Going to the beach sounds like a great idea Emily. It'll be great to get our minds off what's going on for a little while." Lauren said.
"You two coming too?" Mia asked Sakura and Suiren.
"Of course! Even Sakura likes to chill out every once in a while. You should take pictures."
"Navcase says he'll go find Genta and keep him company. He seems to have developed a taste for his sushi." Suiren translated.
"Well, I guess we're going to the beach!" Mike said happily.
"Perfect timing. Emily, Lauren and I just bought new swimsuits recently." Mia explained.
Over at the Panorama Hotel and Suites…
Ryuji and Jin-san had been uneasy since they heard from Shinnosuke that Enter had turned into Dark Buster. The Enter they had defeated back home had taken on a different appearance since he merged with Messiah, and furthermore, it was only because of the card he put in Hiromu that he could assume Dark Buster form in the first place. Therefore, something was stranger than J's AI.
"Mou! It doesn't make any sense!" Yoko complained.
"Yoko is right. The Enter we've been fighting here, based on his appearance, should only be able to turn into his Unite form, not Dark Buster." Hiromu added.
"But from what Tomari said, this Enter turned into Dark Buster in front of him and Ghost. So the Enter we beat back home versus the Enter we're fighting here can't be the same one." Jin-san surmised.
"But if they're not, then where did this one come from?" Ryuji asked angrily, slamming his fist on the table.
"Easy Ryuji, don't need a Code Blue here." Jin-san said. "I doubt Kuro-rin would want to see the bill if you knocked this place over."
"We'll be glad to help, right Ani?" Miu said.
"Correct. On one condition. When this is all over, you allow us to hitch a ride in one of your Energy Management Center transports so that we can get the Ginjiro back to Japan." Hiroto said.
"No problem." Jin-san replied. "Kuro-rin can manage that."
"Between us, and the Go-Ongers, we should be able to figure out what's up with Enter."
"Don't count us out, Ryuji-nii! We'll help too!" Toripter said.
"Ani, I thought you were going to put him in the Ginjiro." Miu asked her brother sternly.
"I forgot." Hiroto replied.
"Well that's okay; Hiromu's worked really hard to conquer his fear of fowl, right Hiromu?" Jin-san said, patting Hiromu on the shoulder- only for Hiromu to keel over.
"I guess he's still working on it then." Miu replied.
Elsewhere, the Space Kamen Rider Club was doing some sightseeing. Miu insisted that everyone should have a chance to pick something for them to do, so Yuki dragged them all to a space museum, Shun, JK, Ryuusei, and Gentaro were forced to carry bags as Miu and the girls went shopping; Shun took them to a professional American football game, which Miu slept through. JK wished Yoko could have come along to keep him company, but she was with her team. Ryuusei took them to a demonstration of his fighting style, but he received the tickets from Inga Blink, so Tomoko was none too happy, but happy to go with Ryuusei to see it, since it meant she could sit next to him.
Back at the Team Gaim Suite…
The phone rang, and Micchi, being the sole person who spoke English well answered.
"Hello? You're calling from the Dance Competiion? What's that? There's a tie? Okay, I'll tell them."
"What was that all about, Micchi?" Kouta asked.
"We tied with another team. They're going to have a tie breaker dance-off in three weeks to decide the winner. We have until then to come up with another dance routine." Micchi explained.
"WHAT? KOUTA! YOU SAID WE'D WIN WITH THAT 'EI EI OH!' THING!" Mai shouted angrily.
"Easy Mai-san, it's not Kouta's fault. He was just trying to help us win, right Kouta-san? Kouta-san?"
The two looked to see Kouta trying to sneak out the door, Driver in hand.
"What do you think you're doing?" Mai shouted.
"Making sure I'm in the spotlight on stage for another three weeks! I'm going to see if the Go-Busters or somebody can hold onto it for me so I can at least transform if they need me to."
"Oh no you don't!" Mai threatened. "I need everyone working on creating and learning a new dance, and that includes YOU!"
"Mai! Kaito's still here in town somewhere, and last time I bumped into him I didn't have my Driver, It's a miracle I got him to leave and go somewhere else. You may not like it, but I'm still a Kamen Rider, and it's my job to protect people!" Kouta explained.
Mai sighed. Clearly, Kouta wasn't giving up his Driver this time. And he was right, he was still a Kamen Rider, and being Kamen Rider Gaim came before Team Gaim. She had to let him do what he felt he had to do.
"All right. You and Micchi can keep your Drivers. But don't think you're off the hook for helping us get ready for the dance-off!"
"Right Mai." Kouta replied.
"I understand, Mai-san." Micchi replied.
Meanwhile, at the beach…
Beach blanket and towels in hand, the Power Rangers Samurai along with Suiren and Sakura headed down to the sand in search of a spot. They soon found one and laid out their blanket and beach towels. Kevin pulled off his top and headed into the water to do some swimming, with Jayden right behind him. Mike wanted to join them, but Emily insisted that he help her build a sand castle. Mia took off her clothes, revealing a pink bikini, as she stretched out on her towel and fell asleep in the sun. Suiren stripped down to her green bikini, rolled onto her stomach and undid her straps, put her earbuds in her ears and closed her eyes with a sigh. Lauren stripped down to a white bikini, propped her head on a towel and one of the ancient texts Ji had gotten from Daisuke on her legs and began to read through it. Mike was whacked where the sun didn't shine when Sakura stripped down to a red bikini, laid down on her back, pulled her "ONE OK ROCK" ball cap over her face and folded her arms behind her head as she rocked out to the band on her earphones.
"What? I didn't think Devil Girl was a Beach Girl too." Mike answered, trying to defend himself to his girlfriend.
"Hmph." Emily replied, handing him a bucket to fill.
"Lauren, what are you reading?" She asked.
"It's one of the books Ji brought from Daisuke's. I'm looking through it in hopes of finding out something about the ritual that Tenma person's being asked to perform."
"Okay, but on the beach? You're still doing samurai stuff here?" Emily asked quizzically.
"Yes, but think about it; would you rather do it here on the beach, while getting a little sun, or back at the house?"
"Hmmm…I guess you have a point there, Lauren." Emily replied.
"Okay Em, I'm back with the water. Now what?" Mike asked.
"Give it to me, please." She responded.
Mike handed over the bucket full of cold sea water. Emily's response was to dump it over his head.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"
"Look at any girl that way again, even ones we're friends with, and it's over! Now refill that bucket!" She ordered.
"Geez, I thought Drill Sergeant Emily was long gone…" Mike said under his breath.
"WHAT WAS THAT?" Emily shouted in response.
"Nothing…" Mike replied.
Lauren just smiled and went back to her book. Next to her, Mia had started to snore lightly, and Suiren's response was to turn her music up higher, so Lauren could just barely hear the drum line from Suiren's earphones as the supernatural blonde snoozed away in the sun with her sister wiped out to the left of her.
Over at Team Enter's new digs, Professor Ryouma had wasted no time setting up shop and attempting to work on new Lockseeds to combat all the Riders and Super Sentai members in the city at the moment. With Enter now demoted, he wanted to make a good impression on his new leader…for now. Minato-san was assisting him when both Sid and Kaito stormed in.
"Professor, I need a new Lockseed!" They both seemed to say in unison.
"Patience, boys; I have only just begun."
"And when you're done, I get one first! I'm tired of those guys beating me!" Sid said.
"You? A better Lockseed can't help you if you're trash to begin with." Kaito snorted.
"What was that? You kids better learn your place when you're talking to an adult!"
"Fine then, you can take out that white Armored Rider who defeated me without breaking a sweat!" Kaito shouted.
All the New Gen Riders gasped in shock.
"He found us? This is not good." Ryouma said.
"Kureshima-san is not going to be happy." Minato-san added.
"No, it wasn't Taketora. This was a completely different Armored Rider than him. This one could summon the weapons of the other Armored Riders, including my own, and kicked my butt with it!" Kaito explained.
"Didn't you use that Ringo Lockseed you showed me on the plane?"
"He broke it! It's useless now. And I had Kazuraba right where I wanted him too, before that guy showed up!" Kaito fumed.
"Kaito seems to have more of a score to settle. We should make a Lockseed for him before we make a new one for Sid." Minato-san insisted.
"Well, he's somewhat in luck; I have this Watermelon Lockseed left over. I managed to work out some of the recoil problem, so if you want to use it, go ahead." Ryouma said, tossing it to Kaito.
"If you want to borrow my Lemon Lockseed, feel free. I'll get to work on new Lockseeds for Yoko-chan and Sid immediately."
Back at Mr. Brown's, Kousuke had dried off and was off to the closing ceremonies of the Mayonnaise Lover's Convention to make some last minute purchases. Haruto was part deep in thought over what Wajima had said, part keeping an eye on the sleeping Kaoru. Soon he spotted Mako coming out to the pool looking for her.
"Hey Haruto." She called.
"Oh, hello Mako-chan." Haruto replied.
"Kaoru asleep?" Mako asked.
"I think so; she's been out for a while now."
"You keeping an eye on her or checking her out?" Mako asked playfully.
"I…don't have an answer to that one."
"It's okay, I was just teasing you. I was going to see if Sleeping Beauty wants to go to the mall with me. You want to come with?" Mako asked.
Haruto was hesitant to give a response.
"Don't worry; we'll try not to torture you." Mako replied, nudging Kaoru's shoulder. "Kaoru…"
The slumbering samurai princess stirred and slowly opened her eyes.
"Hey Mako-san…" she replied sleepily.
"Have a nice nap?" Mako asked.
"Mmmm…" Kaoru replied as she stretched in an effort to wake herself up. "How long was I out?"
"About two hours, I think." Haruto replied.
"That long? I must have been tired or really comfortable." Kaoru replied.
"You want to go to the mall after you get dressed?" Mako asked.
"Sure. I want to get my hair done. I really don't like this long mess." She replied, running her fingers through her long, flowing, black hair.
"A change is always good." Haruto seconded.
"Great, you go change and Haruto and I will be waiting downstairs in the living room."
This was unexpected. Kaoru thought carefully about the next words to come out of her mouth. As she had been relaxing in the sun listening to her music, she had been watching the boys spar out of the corner of her eye, and somewhere along the way, she had thought that Haruto was pretty cute. She couldn't say anything about it to Kotoha; she would accidently blurt it out at some point before she could even tell Haruto herself in private. Mako was clearly the better choice to confess her feelings to; plus, Mako would probably be able to help her out better than Kotoha would.
"Haruto's coming?" Kaoru asked.
"If he wants to, that is." Mako said.
"I've got nothing else to do today; I guess I can tag along. Just don't make me suffer too much, okay? I will work for donuts, though."
"Um, Mako-san, could you come upstairs with me? I'm not sure what to…wear." Kaoru said hesitantly, hoping Mako would pick up on her hidden meaning that it was time for a little girl talk.
"Oh…" Mako replied. "That's right, we have to have you look your best even in casual clothes, you are still a princess after all. Wait here Haruto, we shouldn't be too long." Mako said as Haruto sat down on the couch wondering what that was all about as Mako followed Kaoru up to her room.
"So, what's up Kaoru-chan?" Mako asked once the two girls were safely inside Kaoru's room. "Don't worry; your secrets are safe with me." She answered in her best big sister voice.
"I…think…I think…I…I think I have a crush…on Haruto." Kaoru stammered, her face turning red.
"Is that part of why you want to go have your hair cut shorter?" Mako asked. "To make Haruto notice you?"
Kaoru nodded.
"I don't know why I'm attracted to him…it just…happened."
Mako nodded for her to continue.
"It wasn't much at first…but the longer he stayed with us…the harder it was for me to keep my eyes off him." Kaoru answered.
"Kaoru, it's part of growing up. You're just catching up because you've been busy being the Princess. But even princesses can fall in love."
"So…what should I do?" Kaoru asked.
"First off, don't rush into anything. Think about it some more. And in the end, if you really like Haruto that much, tell him.
"But what if he says no?"
"You'll never know unless you ask, right? Now hurry up and get dressed; we don't want to keep Haruto waiting for us too long."
Kaoru smiled and threw on a T-shirt and shorts.
"Thanks, Mako-san."
"No problem. Now what were you thinking about your hair?"
"I had a few ideas…" Kaoru replied.
"Me too. Let's get going."
Meanwhile…
"What to use, what to use…" Enter mused as he paced around the abandoned lab that he, the New Gen Riders, and now the three Horoscopes had taken up residence in. He nearly tripped over a wrench left on the floor as he was walking around.
"That will do." He replied, attaching his sticky pad to it and pulling out one of his Metavirus cards and swiping it. "Metavirus: Barasu; Install."
Spannerroid! Spannerroid! Spannerroid!
"Go take some stuff apart in this city; that should lure out the heroes and get me back in their good graces. Oh Monsieur Libra! I have dispatched a Metaroid." Enter called.
"Excellent. All we have to do now is wait for the heroes to henshin and we'll have them right where we want them." Libra replied.
The call came in from the EMC that a Metaroid had been detected in the city. Coordinates were passed along and the Go-Ongers and Go-Busters rushed downstairs, climbed into Ginjiro and sped off.
Upon their arrival, they discovered the Spannerroid making trouble, using its beam to disassemble things instantly, like park benches, lampposts, etc.
"Let's get to work." Hiromu said. The others nodded.
It's Morphin Time!
"Let's Morphin!"
"Red Buster!"
"Blue Buster!"
"Yellow Buster!"
"Beet Buster!"
"Stag Buster!" J announced, getting in Jin-san's way as usual.
The five lined up left to right.
"Busters Ready? Go!"
At the command, the five took off for the Metaroid and began attacking it, buying extra time for the Go-Ongers.
"Change Soul! Set! Let's Go On!"
"'Met On!"
The Go-Ongers went through their roll call and prepared to charge into the fray, but they were stopped in their tracks by the three Horoscopes, who teleported in.
"Huh? Who are these guys?" Sousuke wondered.
"That is a burden too heavy for you to bear right now." Libra answered, blasting them with his staff and knocking them back in a shower of sparks as a group of space ninja appeared. "Dustards! Get them!"
"Let's finish these guys at Mach speed so we can help the Go-Busters!" Sousuke said, touching his belt buckle to summon his Road Saber.
"Road Saber! Saber Straight!"
He went through his finisher, but ended up being blocked by Libra and pushed back.
"Mantan Gun! Engine Soul, Set! Shoot!" Renn announced, but Libra simply teleported over to where he was and knocked him aside.
Mission 4
Hiroto struck with an attack, which angered Libra. He threw off his mantle and went after Hiroto.
"Sousuke, Renn! Let's take him together!"
Elsewhere on the battlefield, Gunpei and Hanto were dealing with Leo, while Saki and Miu dealt with Scorpio.
"This guy's stronger than the last time we fought him!" Ryuji said as they continued to make no headway against the Spannerroid.
"This Enter must have stronger cards than the one we defeated. Only one thing to do."
Are you Ready? Powered Custom, It's Morphin Time!
"Powered Morphin!"
"I was hoping you'd do that…" the Spannerroid replied, firing his special beam at all three of them, disassembling their special armor and leaving their Buddyroid partners in pieces.
"Mou! Now what do we do?!" Yoko wailed.
"Before we started fighting, I put a spycam on a nearby building. Hopefully the E.M.C. is getting the footage.
Back at the Energy Management Center…
"This doesn't look good. Morishita, can you stream this over the Web?"
"I believe so sir, but why?"
"I'm just hoping the right person is watching…"
The Space Kamen Rider Club was now at a motorcycle race track, since Gentaro's grandfather worked as a mechanic on one so he wanted his friends to watch one. Tomoko, fortunately, was tuning things out on her iPad, going through various feeds until she came to one that made her stop.
"Is this…in Panorama?" she wondered.
"What is it Tomoko-chan?" Ryuusei asked.
"The Go-Busters are fighting a Metaroid…and it looks like the Go-Ongers are fighting…the Horoscopes?"
"The Horoscopes? I thought we beat those guys?" Gentaro wondered.
"Oops? Maybe you didn't make sure?" Miu said.
"No, Kaneshiro-sempai, we did defeat all of them. Kisaragi, Sakuta, you should go check this out."
"Good luck guys!" Yuki cheered.
The two headed outside to a place devoid of people and put on their Drivers. Gentaro flipped the four Transswitches and Ryuusei moved the Waiting Trigger into standby position.
Meteor, Ready? (Funky disco music)
3!
2!
1!
"Henshin!" the two shouted.
Gentaro moved the Enter Lever and raised his arm, as smoke and rings surrounded him, turning him into Fourze, while the beam from M-BUS struck Ryuusei to turn him into Meteor. The two called their Rider Machines and sped off. Gentaro used the Radar Switch to connect with the E.M.C. to guide them to the fight.
Back at the fight, Libra's device beeped again. He took a quick glance, and if he could smile, he would have.
"Well well. Some old friends of ours are coming to play."
"Ready partner?" Hiroto asked.
"Ready, Aniki!"
"Wait, not Toripter! Hiromu's here!" Renn cautioned.
"Oh right, I forgot. Instructor, you up for this?"
"Of course my boy! I'll hit him so hard he ends up in coach de aru!"
"Bowhale Soul, set!"
"Boeru!" He called as his Engine Soul was fired at Libra, only for him to hastily teleport out of the way.
Leo was too much for Gunpei and Hanto, as they were knocked away by his claws. Scorpio was giving Saki and Miu trouble as well.
"Excellent…His Malevolence will be pleased…" Libra thought to himself before the two words he hoped not to hear echoed through the air as he heard a motorcycle's engine rev.
"UCHUU…KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Gentaro called as he slammed into Libra on his Machine Masigler, knocking him aside before pulling to a stop to finish his roll call.
"Kamen Rider Fourze! Let's settle this man to man!"
Meteor surrounded himself in Cosmic Energy and performed a Rider Break, knocking Leo aside as well.
(Cue: SHOOTING STAR)
"Kamen Rider Meteor! I will decide…your fate."
"Can we at least help you do that?" Hanto asked as he and Gunpei got up.
Ryuusei sighed. "Fine. Just try and keep up." He replied as he took a fighting stance. "Here kitty kitty…"
Leo roared in anger as he charged at Ryuusei, who launched into punches and kicks as "Hwatcha!" after "Hwatcha!" rang out in the air. He inserted his Meteor Switch into the Meteor Galaxy and initiated his Limit Break, landing punch after punch that left a comet trail behind his fist.
"Woo…HWATCHA!" He shouted as he landed the final punch, knocking Leo back.
"Mantan Guns! Shoot!" Gunpei and Hanto called, opening fire on Leo, who turned into Cancer.
"Huh? Now he's a crab?"
"Leo, at least the one we fought, had a special body that allowed him to turn into the other Horoscopes using their Switches. I guess this one can do the same. Gentaro, let me borrow your Fire Switch for a second!"
"Here!"
Ryuusei inserted it into his Driver, as he struck Leo/Cancer with flame charged punches, damaging his tough armor, forcing Leo to revert to normal.
"I'll deal with you another time!" he shouted before teleporting away.
Call Mode
"Nakamura, how much longer on the Megazord?" Hiromu asked.
"It's coming!" She replied frantically as it teleported in.
"It appears your burden has gotten heavier." Libra replied. "What will you do now? You can't break off to fight it and still deal with me and its smaller counterpart."
"You take care of these guys! I'll stop him!" Gentaro said.
Maximize!
MAXIMIZE ON!
Cosmic Energy turned Gentaro into a giant.
"Hey ugly! You're fighting with me!"
Ryuusei powered up to Meteor Storm with Gentaro indisposed at the moment and helped the Go-Ongers fight against the two remaining Horoscopes.
"I wonder where everyone else is…"
Back at the beach, Mia woke up from her nap to find Lauren with her book over her face sound asleep, and Suiren had since flipped over onto her back, and Sakura had woken up and was on her stomach reading a magazine for sword collectors, so Mia flipped over onto her stomach as well and went back to sleep. Mike meanwhile, was still involved in the Emily Sand Castle Construction Project against his will.
Gentaro, meanwhile, was using his Chain Array to keep the SpannerZord at bay while he tried to call in Rider backup to free up either the Go-Ongers or Go-Busters to help him out. The first one he managed to get through to was Kouta.
"Gentaro? Why is your voice so booming and loud?" Kouta asked, holding his phone at arm's length from his ear.
"I'm a giant okay? Look, the Go-Ongers and Go-Busters are busy fighting the Horoscopes and a Metaroid and can't get to their mecha right now; I need you to go help them out so they can!"
"Got it. I'm on my way." Kouta said. "Wait…did you say you're a giant?"
Kouta hopped on his Sakura Hurricane and rode off; luckily spotting the Ultraman-sized Kamen Rider fighting so he made his way towards that.
Back at the fight, Libra and his Dustards continued to cause trouble for the Go-Busters and Go-Ongers before Kouta showed up as Gaim to back up Meteor.
"Go! This is my stage now!"
"You guys help out Gaim, I'll go help Fourze with the Ancient Engines." Sousuke said.
Their Engine Casts were sent, and the three trains merged together into…
"Engine Fusion! Kyoretsu-O, Tune up! Go-on!" Kousuke announced, blasting the SpannerZord with a blast of cold air from Kishamoth.
"Let's finish this guy off!" Gentaro said, activating his Rocket Switch and initiating a Limit Break. "RIDER GIANT ROCKET PUNCH!"
"Kyoretsu Express!" Sousuke declared, blasting the SpannerZord with a steam blast before delivering a white-hot chop attack to finish it off.
"Let's go help the others!" Gentaro said as he shrunk down to normal size and Sousuke rejoined the party. In the meantime, the Go-Busters were on the ropes without their Powered Custom modes and their Buddyroids in pieces.
"Split, and insert!"
N Magnet!
S Magnet!
N/S MAGNET ON (Low-toned dynamic music)
Now in the bulky Magnet States, Gentaro cycled the Enter Lever to detach his cannons from his shoulders and merged them into a magnet. The Go-Busters followed suit by forming Ichigan Busters and Jin and J taking aim with their Morphin Blasters.
It's Time for Special Buster
Boost Up for Buster
"RIDER SUPER ELECTROMAGNETIC BOMBER!"
The cannons blasted away, and as the magnetic blast started to cause it to implode, the Deletion blasts struck, taking it out.
"Enemy Destroyed." The Busters declared.
Kouta and the others fired up their finishers to go after Libra and Scorpio.
"Another time then." Libra said, as the two teleported away.
Elsewhere in Panorama, Haruto, Mako, and Kaoru arrived at the mall and made their way for a hair salon. Once there, the three sifted through
magazines in hopes of finding a style that Kaoru liked.
"What style in particular are you interested in, Kaoru?" Mako asked.
"About shoulder length, I guess. And I don't want it really short either."
Mako and Haruto nodded, and continued to do some looking along with Kaoru.
"How about this?" Mako asked, holding up a picture for Kaoru to see.
"Still a little long." Kaoru said.
"This one?" Haruto asked.
Kaoru looked it over.
"Too wavy." Kaoru replied.
And so it went on, with Kaoru rejecting style after style until finally she said, "Perfect!"
Mako got the attention of one of the stylists and showed her the picture, and she went to work on Kaoru.
At Team Enter HQ, Libra was none too pleased that their efforts had failed.
"Now do you see the difficulty we have?" Enter explained.
"This was just a minor setback. Next time, our plan will work."
This brings this Chapter to a close…
