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!

21. Chapter 21's Title is also too Long

Power Rangers Super Samurai vs. Ronin Warriors

Act 21: Better not Underestimate our Contact Lists.

Things had not gone well for Libra and his fellow Zodiarts since his arrival in Panorama at the behest of their mysterious leader, following Enter's string of failures to capture any heroes for Operation LHAPN.

First was the plan to detain the non-Rider members of Team Gaim, and hold them hostage, but it only led to Kouta, Micchi, and Zack coming to their rescue, and left the Scorpion Zodiarts unconscious after using her Supernova. In hindsight, he should have threatened to harm them if the Riders did not surrender, but it was too late now.

Then, Enter had the bright idea to infect one of the members of the Space Kamen Rider Club, Libra's mortal enemies, with the Bugster Virus sample he had obtained. Enter's defense of his plan was that because the only ones who could cure Game Syndrome were in Japan, not America, it would be simple enough to promise an antivirus if Gentaro Kisaragi and Ryuusei Sakuta, Kamen Riders Fourze and Meteor respectively, surrendered. What Enter had not counted on was Emu Houjou, also known as Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, coming to Panorama to attend the city's video game convention and watch the attached tournament. If one CR Doctor wasn't enough, Enter soon had his hands full dealing with all four CR Doctors. Ex-Aid, Brave, Snipe, and Lazer, plus Fourze and Meteor, managed to save Tomoko Nozama and cure her Game Syndrome.

All in all, there were still eight Kamen Riders, and three Super Sentai teams, even though the Go-Busters were currently down for BuddyRoid maintenance. There were also the local heroes, the Power Rangers Samurai, and on top of that, there was another danger in the three people often seen with them.

Wizard and Beast were often seen with the Shinkengers. Perhaps he could do something involving them…

At Mr. Brown's, Haruto came out to the pool to be waved down by Kaoru.

"Hey, Haruto-san! I saved you a spot." She said, indicating the empty chaise between her and an unconscious Kotoha.

"Well then, I better dress accordingly then," Haruto replied.

Driver On, Please!

Dress Up, Please!

Haruto magically changed into swim trunks and a Hawaiian shirt.

"So, why's Kotoha-chan out like a light?"

"She stayed up all night with Chiaki watching him practice for the video game tournament. He went to go register for it."

"Mako?"

Haruto followed Kaoru's finger to a snoring Mako on a turtle float. Anticipating Haruto's next question, Kaoru replied,

"Takeru, Ryunosuke, Kousuke-san and Mister Brown went food shopping. Kousuke-san is along to advise them on mayonnaise pairings or something." Kaoru replied before yawning.

"I'm going to rest my eyes for a little while. Think you can keep an eye out for Chiaki in case he comes back before I wake up?"

"No problem. Enjoy, Kaoru-chan."

Over at the Panorama Hotel and Suites, the Space Kamen Rider Club was taking their minds off what had happened last time by relaxing by the pool. JK, like Chiaki, was off registering for the tournament as well. Gentaro, Yuki, and a reluctant Kengo were enjoying themselves in the pool, while Miu and Shun enjoyed the weather by the pool. Tomoko and Ryuusei were sitting next to each other, as she was teaching him about the other Kamen Riders.

"I can see why Genta was so impressed; I don't think I would want to mess with Kabuto."

Tomoko nodded.

"His ability to Clock Up allows him to move at super speed to combat the Worms, who can do it as well. It is still unknown if he is faster or slower than Faiz in Accel."

"Faiz?" Ryuusei asked.

Tomoko pulled up another video.

"Takumi Inui. Kamen Rider Faiz. He fought against the Orphnochs created by Smart Brain. There are rumors that he is deceased."

"Well, if I spot a Kamen Rider I haven't met, I know who to ask," Ryuusei said. Tomoko smiled in response. "Do you happen to know why JK's girlfriend is hanging out with us?"

Ryuusei pointed to a yellow bikini-clad Yoko next to him, who was catching some Zs along with some rays.

"She apparently decided to be the good girlfriend and watch JK practice. It seems to have backfired."

"Hiiiiiii!" called a woman's voice. Ryuusei and Tomoko turned to see Miu and Saki coming to join them.

"Hello Saki-san, Miu-san," Ryuusei replied.

"Yoko's asleep?" Miu S. asked.

He nodded, not sure where this was going.

Yoko, to be prepared, had left her jumpsuit and web gear in her bag next to her. Saki was busy unhooking Yoko's Transpod from it.

"What are you do going to do?" Tomoko asked.

"We're just going to have a little fun with her," Saki replied.

Speaking into it using its voice distortion feature, Saki shouted in Usada's voice,

"Yoko! You're supposed to be studying, not sleeping!"

Yoko awoke with a start, shouting, "I wasn't sleeping!" Looking around for a robot rabbit and only finding two giggling Sentai sempai, she exclaimed, "Mou!" and flipped onto her back in an attempt to get some much-needed shut-eye.

"She's going to get you back, you know," Ryuusei warned.

"She's had it coming. She put a cardboard cutout of a chicken in the boys' room and then proceeded to dress up like Takeru Tenkuji to scare Ani and me." Miu S. explained.

"I think JK is rubbing off on her," Ryuusei commented.

Elsewhere in the city, Antonio was fishing when his rod broke.

"This isn't good. How am I supposed to catch fish for the sushi guy?"

As if in answer to his problem, a young man with a fishing rod showed up.

"I think I can help you out!" the young man said. Unfortunately, Antonio didn't understand Japanese.

There was only one thing to do…

Down at the beach, clad in a white bikini, Lauren was practicing with a bokken near a pair of empty beach chairs. Lying on her stomach on a pink towel was Mia, sleeping off her morning classes. Sakura was on hers as well to the left of the chairs, reading a book about the Shinsengumi while ONE OK ROCK blared in her ears. Suiren, on the other hand, was on her back to the left of Sakura, her head resting on a folded-up towel, her eyes closed under her shades, as she snoozed blissfully in the sun, her mouth half open. Emily had stayed back at Jayden's to take a nap after staying up late with Mike. Her Samuraizer rang, and she headed over to one of the empty chairs to answer it.

"Hi, Antonio. I think Mia turned hers off; what do you need? Antonio, for the last time, all Japanese people aren't crazy, just the ones we meet seem to be. Hand your phone to him for me…Hello, can I help you?"

"My name is Misao Mondou. Your friend's fishing rod broke, and I have one, so I offered to help him, but he doesn't seem to understand me…maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all…"

"No, that was awesome of you to offer him your help! I'll talk to him, hand the phone back to my friend."

"Antonio, Lauren. All he wants to do is help you out because your rod's broken."

"Well then tell him that it's okay!"

Lauren was put back on with Misao, and things were straightened out, and Misao began to cast his rod in hopes of catching fish.

"Tomorrow, 'Japanese for Dummies' at the Shiba House," Lauren said to herself as she got comfortable in her chair, noticing something on the back of Sakura's exposed neck. Tapping the other girl on the shoulder, Sakura pulled out her earbuds and sat up.

"I never noticed you had a tattoo until now; your hair's always covering it," Lauren explained.

Normally Sakura let her hair hang down, but considering she had it done up in a ponytail through the back of her hat, for the time being, combined with the bandeau top she was wearing, made her ink clearly visible, three kanji going down her back between her shoulder blades.

"I should have known that a girl with a bike named Kanesada, reading a book about the Shinsengumi on the beach, would have, 'Aku, Soku, Zan' tattooed on her back."

"Yeah. If I get another one, I might get that design that was on that cop's coat, that was pretty badass." She replied. "My older sister has a really cool irezumi on her back."

"No way!" Lauren exclaimed.

Sakura came back with a picture on her phone with the proof.

"Point taken. I'll let you get back to your book, I've got some reading of my own to do."

Sakura smiled and put her earbuds back in, returning to her book while Lauren grabbed the tome that Mentor had brought back from Daisuke's and opened it once again to see if she could find a clue as to what Tenma and the Nighlok were up to.

Back at the hotel, the Astroswitch Kaban's alarm went off, alerting Kengo, who rushed out of the pool. Tomoko grabbed it in the meantime while Kengo dried off.

"Looks like Burgermon found something, Kengo-kun," Tomoko reported.

"Looks like Dustards on the loose. Who's closest out of all of us?"

Tomoko checked the location of the Dustards against the locations of all the Riders and Sentai teams in the city.

"Looks like Haruto."

"I'll give him a call." Ryuusei offered.

Back at Mr. Brown's, Haruto's cell rang.

"Hello, this is Haruto."

"Haruto, it's Ryuusei. We're tracking some Dustards near your location. Can you and the Shinkengers possibly go check it out?"

"Well, 'the Shinkengers' is currently just the girls and myself because the others are out shopping and registering for tournaments, but if it's just Dustards, we should be okay. We'll get in touch with the others, and let you know if we need any backup."

He then nudged a sleeping Kaoru, causing her to stir.

"The boys back already?" she asked sleepily.

"No, the Club's detecting Dustards and needs someone to check it out, we're apparently the closest. Kotoha-chan, wake up…time to report to the Emperor with brush strokes…"

Kotoha moaned as she started to wake up.

"I slept like a boulder!" she exclaimed.

"I think you mean 'rock,' sweetheart." Haruto corrected.

"That too," Kotoha answered. "Time to Shinkenger?"

Haruto nodded.

"Tomoko-chan says that there are some Dustards nearby they want us to check out. Shouldn't take long; you'll be back poolside in no time." Haruto said.

"MAKO-SAN! WAKE UP MAKO-SAN!" Kotoha shouted.

"Haruto-san, do you have a ring that makes your voice louder?" she asked.

"No, but I should probably put a request for one to Wajima-san when I get back home. I have an idea."

Garuda, Please!

"Go find Takeru and the others and lead them to us!" he commanded the familiar.

Kraken, Please!

The second familiar put itself together and floated in the air before Haruto.

"Go wake up Mako if you can."

The sea creature floated over to the sound asleep and loudly snoring Mako, whose mouth was wide open, and used its tentacles to tickle her face, but she simply swatted them away before drifting back to sleep.

"My! She sure sleeps soundly. Why is she so exhausted?"

"Chiaki made her fill out that application for the video game tournament because he couldn't read it," Kaoru explained. It took her most of the night."

"I see. Kraken, keep trying!"

It then plugged her nostrils with its tentacles, which was enough to wake her up. She climbed off her inflatable turtle and headed to the side of the pool.

"What's up Haruto?" she asked groggily.

"Dustards. Kengo wants us to go check it out. Garuda's going to let the others know."

Mako yawned and stretched.

"I'm going to kill Chiaki for making me fill that stupid application out for him…I didn't sleep a wink last night," She complained.

"It's okay Mako-san, Haruto-san doesn't think this will take too long," Kotoha assured her.

Kaoru riding with Haruto as usual and Kotoha riding on a bike kanjied up by Mako, the two sped off to the site of the contact.

Elsewhere in the city, Mr. Brown and the others were just getting out of the supermarket when they spotted Garuda.

"If Garuda's here, then Haruto must be in a pinch! Let's go give him a chance!" Kousuke declared.

"We'll call Genta on the way," Takeru said.

Meanwhile, Haruto and the girls had arrived at the contact. People were being chased away by Dustards as they pulled up.

"There's so many of them!" Kotoha exclaimed.

"Be glad there's nothing stronger here with them," Mako replied.

"Do you think it could be a trap, Haruto-san?" Kaoru asked.

"Maybe, maybe not. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, though."

Out came the Shodouphones and Haruto donned his ring.

"Ippitsu Shoujou!" the girls called, drawing their kanji in the air and then spinning it back towards them.

"Henshin," Haruto said, flipping the faceplate on his ring down and scanning it on his Driver.

Flame, Please! Hi-Hi! Hi-Hi-Hi!

"Princess Shinken Red! Shiba Kaoru!"

"The Same! Pink! Shiraishi Mako!"

"The Same! Yellow! Hanaori Kotoha!"

"The Samurai Sentai Authorized by Providence!" Kaoru called.

"Shinkenger!"

"With special guest, Kamen Rider Wizard! Soma Haruto!"

"Going Forth!"

"And Now, It's Showtime!"

"Shinkenmaru!" the girls called, pulling out their swords and going on the attack.

Connect, Please!

Haruto pulled out his WizarSwordGun from storage and shot a volley of silver bullets at the Dustards.

"Heaven Fan!" Mako called out, bringing out her special weapon to attack the Dustards. "Hakuryoku Manten!"

She let loose with a special attack that took out a few of them.

"Land Slicer!" Kotoha called out, as her fuuma shuriken cut down another group of Dustards before returning.

Kaoru spun the Double Disk on her Shinkenmaru to replicate it, and then with the Lightning and Shishi Disks attached, executed a Twin Spiral Sword attack to clear the area around her.

"Nice one, Hime-sama!" Kotoha called.

"Hrm, it occurs to me that I never gave Nitoh his Dolphi Ring back. I guess he won't mind if I borrow it a little more."

Water, Please! Sui-Sui, Sui-Sui!

Beast, Please!

Magically diving into the ground as if it was water, Haruto exploded up in the middle of a pack of Dustards, shooting at them as he dove back into the ground and repeated.

Flame, Please! Hi-Hi, Hi-Hi-Hi!

"Okay, we've had enough fun with these guys. The Finale!"

Chōīne! Kick Strike! Saikō!

A magic circle appeared below Haruto's feet as he gathered energy, before flipping over and over and crashing down on the remaining Dustards.

"Whew…" Haruto sighed.

"Haruto! Help!" Kaoru suddenly exclaimed as the Leo Zodiarts appeared behind her!

"Kaoru-chan!" Haruto shouted, but before he could do anything, Kotoha was tangled up in wires, courtesy of…

"Bonjour, Shinkengers!" Enter called.

Finally, Libra joined the party, holding the Cancer Zodiarts Switch and a regular one.

"This won't hurt…much." He answered, as he placed the Cancer Switch in Kotoha's hands and forced her to depress the button, enveloping her in a swirl of Cosmic Energy and transforming her into a Zodiarts.

"Now for you, Princess…"

Infinity! Please! Hi-Sui-Fu-Do-Bou-Zabun-Byu-Dogon!

Libra turned to block Haruto's attack with his staff, before blasting him away.

Kaoru tried to break free from Leo's grip, but he struck her back in return.

"Unless you want me to crush you like a walnut, you'll hold still!" he growled.

There was some struggle on Kaoru's part to keep the Switch out of her hands, but Libra eventually forced it in and made her depress the button, turning her into a Zodiarts too, before pocketing both Switches and all of them teleporting away.

Mako quickly snapped a picture with her Shoudouphone before sending it off to Kengo in hopes of him identifying what Zodiarts Kaoru had become. She seemed to be armed with chains, which then extended and whipped around at Mako, who managed to dodge. Fortunately, she breathed a slight sigh of relief as the other Shinkengers and Kousuke arrived.

"Zodiarts?" Takeru wondered.

"Careful Takeru! They're Kotoha and Kaoru!"

"What did you just say?"

"Libra showed up and forcibly Switched them," Haruto explained.

"He took the Switches with him, but we don't know where!" Mako added as "Kaoru" took a few more swings at her with her chains.

"We must try to keep them restrained for now. I will call Kengo to see if he has an answer for us. The rest of you, please try not to hurt Kotoha or Mother."

The rest of the team and Kousuke transformed to join in, while Takeru made a call.

Back at the Hotel…

"LIBRA DID WHAT?!" Kengo shouted, so loud in fact that other pool goers looked in his direction. "Okay, judging from the picture you sent, the Princess seems to be the Andromeda Zodiarts. No idea why Hanaori is Cancer. I'll try and see if I can track the Switches' signals, but it's important that you or someone retrieves them from Libra. Otherwise, we can't turn them back to normal."

"That may be a bit tricky. It will take all of us to try and keep Mother and Kotoha here." Takeru said.

"Understood. I'll see what I can do." Kengo replied.

"We'll help! I'll go let Ani know." Miu S. replied.

"I'll go get the guys, we'll be ready when you need us, Kengo-kun!" Saki added.

"Well, at least we have the Go-Ongers, Kengo-kun," Ryuusei commented.

"It's still not enough, Sakuta. If I were him, I would randomly give the Switches to my underlings and then have them spread out, forcing us to take them out one by one until we find the two that have the Switches. The Go-Busters are still down until the BuddyRoids are fixed, which means they can't help. This is going to be difficult to solve."

Back with the Shinkengers, the group did their best to keep Kotoha and Kaoru in check without harming them.

"Takeru, how did it go?" Mako asked as she blocked a claw from Kotoha.

"The Club is doing what they can to help us out. They can get us the Go-Ongers, but they think that Libra may have plans to make us beat up him and all of his colleagues to find the two Switches to change Mother and Kotoha back to normal."

"I'll call the Samurai, Takeru. Maybe they can help out." Mako suggested. "Just keep Kotoha off me a bit."

"I know Kouta and Gentaro have been busy lately, but maybe Tomari-san knows someone who can help. Mayonnaise, could you give me a hand?"

"Easy there, Princess! We're doing this for your own good!"

Down on the Beach…

Mia was sitting in the other beach chair, reading a cooking magazine while listening to her iPod when her Samuraizer rang. Next to her in the other chair, the back lowered a few notches, Lauren was taking a study break, while Sakura was on her back with her hat over her eyes taking a nap of her own.

"Hello? Oh, Hi Mako, it's been a while since we heard from…what happened? That's terrible! Okay, I'll call Jayden and the others, and we'll stand by. Yes, Sakura and Suiren are here with us, I'll let them know too."

Giving Lauren a nudge to wake her up, the two quickly roused the sleeping She-Ronin, hurriedly packed up their stuff and headed for the car to get back to Shiba House, with Lauren giving her brother a call on the way.

Back in Tokyo at the Metropolitan Police Department, Shinnosuke Tomari was at his desk looking over some paperwork when his phone rang.

"Yes, this is Tomari. Oh, Haruto! Do I know any other Sentai teams? Well, I know one, but unfortunately, there's a problem."

"A problem?" Haruto asked back in Panorama while Kousuke broke out his Buffa Mantle and made like a linebacker to push back Kaoru.

"Haruto is on the phone! You can kill him later! Geez, you'd think she thought you were on the phone with a girl!"

"Yes. I had Phillip do a lookup on Panorama City's laws. Unfortunately, because it was founded by the Power Rangers Samurai's ancestors, there's some weird law that prohibits groups of five or more ninja from rampaging or partying all night within the city limits. It rules out the team I would have suggested. But don't lose hope, there's someone else I can try. I'll call right back, all right?"

"And?" Takeru asked when Haruto hung up.

"He'll call me back."

Flame, Dragon! Bou-Bou! Bou-Bou-Bou!

Connect, Please!

"Time to call in some reinforcements," Haruto said, attaching the Drago Timer to his arm.

Drago Time! Set Up! Start!

Water Dragon!

Hurricane Dragon!

Land Dragon!

The three dragons headed in to keep Kaoru busy, but she kept swinging her chains at the Haruto.

Meanwhile, at Tenkuuji Temple…

"Kaaaatsu!" Onari shouted, whacking Takeru on the head.

"Onari, was that really necessary?" Akari asked.

"I'm sorry, but Takeru-dono was losing focus on his math homework!"

"Which is why I'm HELPING him with it. I'll get him an A if it's the last thing I do!"

"Why couldn't we be studying history? I'm good at that…"

"KAAAATSU!" Onari cried again, hitting Takeru yet again.

Much to Takeru's relief, the Condor Denwa rang.

"Hello? Oh, hello Tomari-san! Did I meet any Sentai teams? As a matter of fact, I did! I'll give them a call right away!"

Back in Panorama…

"Hajikete! motto amaku jukushite! Dokomademo atashi wo aishite, Cherry Cherry Bomb!

"Amu!"

"Hajikete motto amaku jukushite nee."

"Amu!"

"ah chuku chuku…Cherry Cherry Bomb!"

"AMU!"

One minute, Amu imagined herself in a Silent Siren music video, the next, she was jolted back to Amy's pool being yelled at by a young man in green swim trunks, who had a tail sticking out of them.

"Huh?" Amu asked, pulling out her earbuds.

"Do you have to sing along when you listen to music? I'm trying to read over here!"

Amu responded by giving him the stink eye.

"Mou! You're no fun Tusk-kun!" she pouted. "Super No-Fun Elephant!"

Just then, a strange cube next to her began emitting jungle drums, so she opened the lid and answered it.

"Hello? Hiiiiiii Takeru-kuuuuuuuuuun! What's that? We'd love to help! Okay, we'll call Kengo-kun and report in! Bye Bye!"

"What did you just get us into, Amu?" the boy sitting at a table with his book asked. Around them, a boy with dreadlocks lay sprawled over a chaise, snoring away, while another girl floated in a large inner tube wearing wireless headphones.

"That was Takeru-kun! His friends need help with something! Can we, Yamato-kun?" she said to another young man who was grilling vegetables and fish.

"I don't see why not. I just don't know how to get in touch with Michan to let him know."

Back at their hideout, Libra gathered the New Gen Riders, along with Enter, Escape, and Leo.

"Spread out. We will make them fight us one by one to find the Switches. If you run into any others defending this city, consider them a bonus."

Back at the docks, an incredibly energized Misao had caught lots and lots of fish for Antonio when a pair of boxers flew over his head and landed in the water.

"Ah, Mou! There goes my tomorrow!" a voice shouted. "Excuse me, you with the fishing rod, could you please fish my underwear out?"

A man dressed in a poncho accompanied by a fashionably dressed young lady came up to Misao the young woman grabbed his hands.

"Please, it's critical to him."

Although this young lady was grasping his hands a little harder than he felt a young woman could, Misao was hit with yet another surge of energy, cast his line, and in no time had the boxers out of the drink and on his line.

"Thank you so much! You're a lifesaver!" the young man said, bowing. The young woman did as well, and they were on their way.

"I wonder what that was all about?" Misao wondered.

He noticed that the fisherman had left suddenly, and the sushi seller and the strangely dressed man there had also disappeared, as people seemed to be running from what looked like a lion!

'That's definitely not one of my friends…but this isn't my city…what should I do?"

"You should fight him!" a crocodile humanoid in Arabian dress suggested.

"No, this isn't your fight! Run away!" A wolf humanoid in a ski cap countered.

"The question is, what do you want to do?" a humanoid rhino asked him.

"I am a Sentai member…but a Sentai member needs his team to fight at his best! I'll do what I can to protect the people of this planet until they get here! Mr. Rhino, you always make the most sense!"

Misao pulled out a strange flashlight and pressed the button on the bottom.

The World!

"Wild Instinct, Awaken!

He turned the center to a picture of a rhino, and then tapped the button again, shining the light at the Leo Zodiarts.

OHHHHHH~! OH~! OHOHOH~!

"Monarch of the World! Jyuoh TheWorld!"

After completing his roll call and pose, he did something bizarre.

"SELA! HELP! I'M DOWN BY THE DOCKS BEING ATTACKED BY A MONSTER! HELP!"

Back at Amy's, the girl in the pool had woken up and taken off her unique extra-strength, noise-cancelling, water resistant headphones, when she heard Misao calling for help.

"You hear something, Sela-chan?" Amu asked.

"It's Misao! He needs our help!"

"Wake up kitty!" Amy shouted, kicking Mr. Dreadlocks off his chaise and into wakefulness.

"Did I miss something?"

"Michan's in trouble!" Yamato said.

"Good luck guys!" Amy said, waving after them as they ran out the door.

"But which way?" Amu wondered.

Sela, on the other hand, was noticing something odd. When she took a step one way, her tail would sense malintent, but in the other, it went back down.

"We should follow our tails. The guy Misao is fighting is probably pretty angry." Tusk suggested.

"ALL RIGHT! A FIGHT!" Leo shouted as Sela covered her ears.

Doing that, they headed off to Misao's location.

Back at the docks, Misao had switched to his Wolf form for its speed, as he dashed around and took potshots at the Leo Zodiarts, trying to buy time for his team to arrive.

"It's no use, they're never going to arrive…" he thought to himself.

"We're coming Michan!" he heard a voice call.

Fully dressed and ready to go, his teammates ran up to his side.

"Let's go!" Yamato called.

The five pushed the red button inside their cubes and then a number.

Eagle!

Shark!

Lion!

Elephant!

Tiger!

They then turned the top to meet up with their logo and held the cubes out.

"Wild Instinct, Awaken!"

A Tarzan yell sounded as they were covered in their sentai suits.

"Monarch of the High Skies! Jyuoh Eagle!" Yamato called.

"Monarch of the Wild Seas! Jyuoh Shark!" Sela called.

"Monarch of the Savannah! Jyuoh Lion!" the other Leo called.

"Monarch of the Deep Forest! Jyuoh Elephant!" Tusk called.

"Monarch of the Snow Fields! Jyuoh Tiger!" Amu yelled.

Yamato brought out his Eagriser and whipped it around.

"Doubutsu Sentai! Jyuohger!"

"I'm going to crush you color coded piles of crap!" the Leo Zodiarts declared.

"Better not underestimate this planet!" Yamato called back, running his fingers over the top of his helmet.

The Jyuohgers went on the attack with their swords drawn.

Meanwhile…

Kaito and Yoko Minato had been teamed up for Libra's plan, assigned to a particular spot to draw out the heroes.

"So, all we do is just wait for a team to come to us? I would prefer to take the offensive." Kaito complained.

"Although I disagree with this shell game Libra is playing, I'll do my part, for now. Ryoma-hakase has bigger dreams than even him."

"It looks like we've got our first customers," Kaito said as he noticed the Go-Ongers approaching.

"Mach Full Force! Go-On Red!"

"Just Correct! Go-On Blue!"

"Smile Blooming! Go-On Yellow!"

"Dash Dynamic! Go-On Black!"

"Doki-Doki Delight! Go-On Green!"

"Break the Limit. Go-On Gold!"

"Sparkling World! Go-On Silver!"

"Pressing down the highway of justice! Engine Sentai! Go-Onger!"

"You fools have no right to share the battlefield with us."

Banana Sparkling!

Bananas sprouted from the ground, knocking the Go-Ongers off their feet.

"We should have asked Gentaro and Ryuusei to come with us!" Hanto wailed.

"We can take these guys!" Sousuke insisted.

"He's right. We need a plan though." Hiroto said.

Peach Squash!

Gathering energy into her Sonic Arrow, she slashed around her, taking them down again.

"That's it! I'm hitting him with the Kankan Bar!" Sousuke said, loading the Ancient Engines into the weapon and combining it with his Mantan Gun.

"I still haven't fixed it yet!" Renn called.

Sousuke depressed the trigger, and nothing happened!

"Now you're ours!" Kaito declared as he and Minato moved in for the kill, not noticing the train tracks appearing beneath their feet and past them.

A strange sound was heard, and the next thing the two Riders knew, a black and green blur hit them and sent them flying! It came to a stop and was revealed to be a train with a bull's head. A door opened, and a strange Tengu man came out.

"Oh no! Oh no! I hit something, I know I hit something! Hellooooooooo! Did I hit anyone?" he said, checking the train for damage and spotting the Go-Ongers.

"Yoohoo! Did I hit any of you?"

"DENEB!" a voice shouted as a young man dressed in white came out of the train. "Why did you exit out of the time stream?!"

"Oh! Yuto! I still don't know what happened, but it appears the ZeroLiner is okay!"

"It couldn't have been us…could it?" Sousuke thought to himself.

"Ugh, what hit us?" Kaito wondered, rubbing his head.

"My bet is on that train," Minato-san suggested.

"Hey! Did you hit us with that train?" Kaito demanded.

"And what if I did?!" Yuto fired back.

"Yuto…it's probably not a good idea to pick a fight…" Deneb commented.

"I have a score to settle with someone, but I'll warm up with you!" Kaito demanded.

"Bring it on!" Yuto retorted, putting on a belt of some sort, taking a card with green on one side and yellow on the other, and inserted it into his buckle. "Henshin! Come, Deneb!"

Vega Form

The two merged into a heavily armored Kamen Rider!

"Let me say this to start…I am fairly strong!" Yuto declared.

"And let me say this to start! Yuto's a really nice guy once you get to know him!" Deneb added.

(ACTION-ZERO)

Yuto brought out his ZeroGasher sword and began clashing with Kaito while firing bullets from Deneb's fingers to keep Marika at bay.

"What should we do, Ani?" Miu asked.

"Well, it would be a good time to hit her while she's distracted!" Hiroto said.

While Marika tried to get a hit in on Yuto/Deneb, Hiroto and Miu formed their Wing Boosters and took aim at her.

"Toripter Soul, Set." Hiroto declared.

"Jetras Soul, Set," Miu added.

Meanwhile, the others took aim with the Super Highway Buster at Kaito.

"Carrigator Soul, Set," Hanto announced.

Full Charge

D-Yuto fired, as Jetras and Toripter came flying out in spirit form with a "GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!" and a "BATA BATA BATA!". Carrigator's spirit soon joined in with a "Geta Geta Geta!"

The team cannons were no match for the two Riders and knocked them out of henshin. Both limped away as Deneb separated from Yuto.

"Damn, wasted another one." Yuto cursed his luck.

"Thank you for helping us! Here, have some candy! I make it myself!" Deneb replied as he began handing out his trademark Deneb Candy.

"Thank you so much!" Saki beamed.

"DENEB! GET BACK HERE!" Yuto screamed.

"Please don't hate Yuto, he's not a bad guy once you get to know him!" Deneb called after them "Please remember Yuto!"

With that, the ZeroLiner was gone, and the Go-Ongers called into Kengo.

"No sign of the Switches? Okay, thank you Rouyama-san." Kengo replied.

The Jyuohgers, meanwhile, were getting tossed around by the Leo Zodiarts. Nothing they tried seemed to work. He shrugged off their blasters and swords, threw them around like rag dolls, sliced and diced them with his claws, and blasted them away with his roar.

"ARGH! This guy's really pissing me off!" Leo shouted.

"Any other ideas, Tusk?" Yamato asked.

"Just one. UNLEASH THE BEAST!" he shouted, calling for his elephant legs. The others followed suit, as Sela sprouted a shark fin, while Leo and Amu gained claws.

"UNLEASH THE BEAST!' Yamato called, flipping up part of his faceplate to power up into Jyuoh Gorilla. "Monarch of the Jungle! Jyuoh Gorilla!"

"SUPER UNLEASH THE BEAST!" Misao called, gaining a wolf claw on one arm and a crocodile's tail on the other.

"CHARGE!" Yamato called, as all six Jyuohgers charged at the Leo Zodiarts, and with one mighty roar, he knocked them away and back to their pre-Unleashed states.

"I feel like my Jyuoh Rhinos just ran us down…" Misao wailed.

"If only there were a hero who also fought with animals who helps anyone no matter what!" Amu mused.

"Amu, that's pretty specific," Yamato commented.

"Yeah, and even if there is, he's probably far away from us," Sela added.

"Just trying to be optimistic, that's all," Amu said.

"I'm going to tear you all apart!" the Leo Zodiarts declared.

Just then, he was struck by a phone booth!

"Who threw that!?" the monster demanded to know.

He was then promptly hit by a full waste basket, several parked bicycles, and a mailbox!

He turned in the direction of the thrown objects, and only found a fashionable twentysomething in a floral print dress and a jean jacket, who was looking for other things to throw at him. What he didn't notice were the green, yellow, and red rings appearing above him diagonally, but he certainly heard something announce

Scanning Charge!

And he definitely heard the cry of "SEIYA!" as a red, yellow, and green thing slammed into him and struck a fighting pose.

"What in Zyuland is that thing?" Tusk wondered.

"He has a belt, kind of like Takeru's; maybe he's another Kamen Rider?" Yamato wondered.

"Excuse me, Mr. Traffic Light Man? Are you a Kamen Rider?" Amu asked.

"Me?" the figure asked, pointing to himself. "But my name's not Mr. Traffic Light Man! I'm Kamen Rider OOO!"

"OOO?!" the Jyuohgers replied dumbfounded.

"What's with this guy? Hawk? Tiger, Grasshopper?" Leo wondered.

"Can you do other animals, OOO?" Amu asked.

"Please, call me Eiji! And yes, I can do other animals!"

"I vote for cats next!" Amu insisted.

Lion, Tora, Cheetah: (Roar) La-Tah La-Tah, La-Tora~~Tah!

(Anything Goes!)

"UNLEASH THE BEAST!" Leo and Amu called again.

Scanning Charge!

With Leo and Amu on either side, Eiji charged at the Leo Zodiarts, as three yellow rings appeared in front of him, as Amu slashed with snowflakes, and Leo cut with slash marks in the air, and Eiji charged through the rings and nailed him with an X slash.

"You guys next!" Eiji said, pointing to Yamato, Misao, and Tusk.

Sai, Gorilla, Zou: (Dull thud) Sagohzo... (Drumbeat) Sa-Goh-Zo!

"UNLEASH THE BEAST!" Yamato and Tusk shouted.

Scanning Charge!

Tusk and Eiji stomped the ground with their elephant feet, which pulled in the Leo Zodiarts, followed up by gorilla punches from Yamato and Eiji, and rhino headbutts from him and Misao.

"Do you have sharks?" Sela asked.

"I have a whale…"

"Oh! Yamato-kun's a whale too!" Amu exclaimed.

"I want to do one with him!" Sela protested, "glaring" at Amu, who backed off.

Shachi, Unagi, Tako: (Splash) Sha-Sha-Shauta, Sha-Sha-Shauta!

"UNLEASH THE BEAST!" Sela called.

While Eiji held him steady with his Unagi Whips, Sela went Sonic the Hedgehog on him, before diving into the ground and knocking him upwards, as Eiji used his Tako legs to propel himself up as well, activating another Scanning Charge and coming down in a point.

"Do you have a wolf or crocodile?" Misao asked.

"Wolf no, crocodile yes!" Eiji replied.

Cobra, Kame, Wani: (Snake hiss) Bura-Ka~~Wani!

Scanning Charge!

The World!

OHHHHHH~! OH~! CROCODILE!

"SEIYA!" the two cried as they hit with their spear and croc legs.

"Since you're red, it's time to break out these!" Eiji said as he brought out his Red Medals.

Taka, Kujaku, Condor: (Eagle Screech) Ta~Ja~Dor!

"UNLEASH THE BEAST!" Yamato called, as he spread his wings and flew into the sky with Eiji. He loaded his Medals into the Taja Spinner and fired off a Phoenix projection, which Yamato dove into and they both struck the Leo Zodiarts, who was now on the ropes.

"Let's finish this!" Yamato called, as they brought out their swords.

Jyuoh Slash!

The five core members turned into a claw with its tips the same colors as them and came crashing down on the Zodiarts.

"SUPER UNLEASH THE BEAST!" Misao called, as he unleashed all his Zyuman Powers and charged at the Zodiarts. "Jyuoh The Crash!"

"Let me help too!" Eiji said, taking out some gray coins and inserting them into his sword.

Triple Scanning Charge!

"AH SEIYA!" he called, as the world and the Zodiarts seemed to split in two. But the Zodiarts was still standing.

"JUST WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO KILL THIS GUY?!" Leo shouted at the top of his lungs, as Sela cringed.

Somewhere in the upper atmosphere of Earth on a spaceship, a strange samurai looking youkai was watching on a monitor.

"DAMN! THAT WAS THE MOST EXCITING FIGHT THIS WEEK! Damn those Nick people, forcing me to look for action elsewhere after that country western guy showed up! Cosmo, I think we should help him!"

"That's up to the audience, sir!" a goblin-headed monster with a body like a tuxedo and a top hat asked. "So, what do you think audience? Should we give him some help?"

The audience made their intent very clear with cheers, applause, and even signs.

"Okay, GIGANTIFY!" Cosmo Royale declared, pushing a button on a console.

A beam of energy shot down on the Leo Zodiarts, and he became gigantic.

"Uh oh…" Eiji said, looking at the new threat.

"Don't worry Eiji, we've got this!" Yamato insisted. "Jyuoh Cubes!"

Jyuoh Cu~be~!

Eagle!

Shark!

Lion!

Elephant!

Tiger!

Gorilla!

Crocodile!

Wolf!

Rhinos!

Kirin!

Mogura!

Kuma!

Komori!

"Doubutsu Dai Gattai!" Yamato said, pushing the blue button and 1-9, turning the Changer to the robot's face, and inserting it into his console.

Giant yellow squares appeared in the sky, and all the Cubes passed through them, before stacking up one by one into a robot.

3! 4! 9! 5! 2! 7! 8! 6! 1! Wild Tousai Kin~g~!

"Complete! Wild Tousai King!" the team announced.

Being that the Zodiarts was not used to being so big, the much larger Wild Tousai King had him right where he wanted him.

"It's the End of the World for you!" Misao called.

"Yeah! That'll teach you guys to ruin our pool party! We should have invited Amy-chan!" Amu said.

"Amu, focus!" Tusk said. "Besides, I don't think Dricera can interface with our mecha."

Changers were turned to the team logo and inserted into the consoles for a final time.

"Jyuoh Direct Shot!" they called, spinning their cube consoles.

The cannon gathered energy, and a blast of energy containing the power of all 13 animals struck the Zodiarts, causing him to go down. But the attack, rather than destroying him, only reverted him to his original size, as he limped away, unbeknownst to the Jyuohgers.

Elsewhere in the city, Duke and Sigurd were making trouble, complete with released Inves. The Samurai, this time with Antonio, arrived at the coordinates.

"Think we can take these guys, Jay?" Kevin asked.

"Hopefully. We better go all out if we want to have a chance." Jayden cautioned.

"Samuraizer! Go Go Samurai!" they called, drawing their kanji in the air and then flipping it back towards them.

"Super Samurai Mode!" Jayden called, breaking out the Black Box, giving him a white jinbaori and also changed everyone else into Mega Mode. Lauren spun the Shiba Fire Disc on her Spin Sword, which turned her into Shogun Mode.

Attacking with Spin Swords, the weapons failed to do any damage to either of them.

"Mega Blades!" they called, spinning the Common Disk the opposite way for their personal weapons. Now their weapons hit home.

"Aw Crap! They can hurt us now!" Sid complained.

"Maybe, but we can still hurt them more." Ryouma reminded him.

Lemon Squash!

Pouring energy into his Lockseed, Ryouma made multiple projections of himself that surrounded the Rangers and then attacked.

Lock On!

Cherry Energy!

Sid also fired at the Rangers with a Sonic Volley, hitting Lauren and causing cherries to whip around her body.

"Lauren!" Jayden called.

"I'm okay. We need a plan to beat these guys though!"

"Okay, Kevin, Antonio, with me, Em and Mia, you work with Lauren to take out the other one!"

"Golden!" Antonio replied.

Regrouped, the Samurai Rangers went back on the attack. Kevin used the Shark Disk to go into Shark Attack Mode, as the weapon lashed out and bit at Ryouma.

"Super Bullzooka!" Jayden called, bringing out the weapon and combining it with his Super Spin Sword. The gun roared and fired off a blast at Ryouma, knocking him back, just as Antonio sliced him up with a Barracuda Bite.

"I knew this would never work," Ryouma answered, hopping on a Dandeliner and flying off.

Mia focused her Mojikara into her Mega Blade and made a series of slashes in the shape of her kanji, which also drove back the Rider and knocked him out of henshin. Emily struck with an attack like Mia's, causing Sid to stagger back before Lauren delivered the coup de grace with a Blazing Strike.

"I'm getting sick of everyone in this city beating us!" Sid said as he fled, dropping something as he fled.

"Hey guys, is this what we're looking for?" Kevin asked, picking up what seemed like a spray can.

Mia snapped a picture with her Samuraizer and sent it to Kengo. He quickly texted back, "Yes, that's one of them. Please bring it to the Shinkengers."

"Looks like we're going to need some horsepower for this one," Mia said as she made a few strokes with her Samuraizer, bringing forth a motorcycle.

"I'll get this to Mako. Hopefully, they're hanging in there."

"Oh, by the way, sis, any luck figuring out what the Nighlok are up to?" Jayden asked as they headed back to Shiba House.

"Not yet. Daisuke's book is really detailed. I had an easier time mastering the Sealing Character than deciphering this. It's not exactly a beach read, even if I've been reading through it on the beach."

"Well, keep trying. Luckily the Nighloks have been quiet lately, so it's a perfect time to figure things out." Jayden said.

As the Rangers headed back to the House, the last piece of their plan was heading to intercept their target. Navcase, Sakura, and Suiren were headed to stop Enter and Escape. With any luck, they had the last Switch. If not, they were prepared to beat its location out of the two avatars.

"Ça va, Monsieur, and Mademoiselles!" Enter called to them, as easily as he was meeting them for dinner, rather than to fight each other.

"Do you have the other Switch!?" Sakura demanded to know

"Maybe oui, perhaps non?" Enter replied.

"Looks like we're doing this the hard way," Sakura said, bringing out her swords.

"I thought you were going to say that…" Suiren complained, summoning her no-daichi.

"Relax, Suiren. The beach will still be there tomorrow." Sakura assured her.

A third figure teleported down to join the two avatars.

"A pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am the Libra Zodiarts." The giant cockroach priest answered.

"I will handle him. You two handle the others." Navcase said.

"Works for me," Sakura said. "Ready sis?"

"Well, since we don't have a choice…" Suiren replied.

The two sisters began focusing their power, as Sakura was enveloped in flame, Suiren in light, which they cut their way out of dramatically, revealing themselves in their armor.

Navcase snapped his fingers and put on his body suit, which his armor then attached to, suiting him up in the Armor of Crimson Hope.

"Well, they look resolute. Shall we dance with them, ma puce?" Enter asked Escape.

"Never call me that again. I have a score to settle with the pink one."

"Touchy today, aren't we. Ah well. I shall amuse myself with the green one. En Garde!" he called, changing into Enter Unite.

"Just a refresher. This is Gog," Escape explained, kissing one of her guns. "And this is Magog," she said, kissing the other one. "And I am Escape. I hope you're still pretty good."

"I'm just warming up, sister," Sakura replied.

Escape changed into her Evolve form, and the two began their dance of death.

"Let's make this more interesting, shall we?" Libra said, calling down a swarm of Dustards.

"Oh look, Mr. Cockroach brought friends," Sakura observed.

"Hey, sis? Can I try something?" Suiren asked.

"Okay…what do you have in mind?" Sakura asked.

"Oh, not much, just a new version of my sure-kill I've been working on." Suiren explained, going to her ready position and then launching skyward with her jump jets, situating herself right over the Dustards.

"THUNDER…BOLT…CUT!" Suiren cried, slamming down with her sword crackling with energy and pointed downward, as she drove it into the ground, sending out a wave of light and electricity that vaporized the Dustards.

"Whoa…where did that come from?!" Sakura exclaimed in disbelief as she dodged attacks from Escape.

"What?" Suiren asked, parrying a blow from Enter.

"Just…when did you have the time to work on that?"

"I took a page from you and got up early a couple days to work on it." Suiren explained as she dodged an attack from Enter. "Besides, there are these great things called naps I can take later if I feel I'm dragging a bit."

Sakura smiled under her helmet at her sister's persistence as she set her sights on Escape once more. How to beat the gun-toting avatar was tricky at best. Escape could just hang back and shoot away, plus the bayonets built into her pistols made her a threat at close range as well. But her bullets were nothing but hailstones to Sakura's armor, and her cannons had lots more punch than Gog and Magog.

Sakura began drawing in energy to charge up her shots, and then let loose with colorful fire balls and plasma bolts, which Escape pirouetted over, shooting the whole time at Sakura.

Suiren was having a hard time of her own with Enter. His finesse style of swordplay compared to her more power-based two-handed technique was allowing him to just sidestep her attacks and stay out of trouble.

Even harder still was Navcase's attempts to land a hit on Libra. The Horoscope would just teleport out of the way, and try to strike from range with his staff unexpectedly.

But they were a Seishi of Amaterasu and two of her daughters. They would find a way to win somehow. `

Meanwhile, the Shinkengers, Haruto, and Kousuke were still having trouble with the transformed Kaoru and Kotoha. They were holding back as much as possible to keep from hurting the girls, but someone forgot to tell Kaoru and Kotoha, who were doing everything in their power to put the hurt on them.

Mojikara and Mana were running low, so all were relieved when they heard a motorcycle coming with what looked like a heavier armored version of them on it.

"Here comes one of the Samurai," Takeru observed.

"I wonder what Switch they have," Mako asked.

"Catch!" Mia called to her counterpart, who obeyed.

"Takeru, it looks pretty plain," Mako explained.

"It is probably Mother's then. Haruto, please restrain her for a moment so we can get this to her."

Bind, Please!

A magic circle appeared under Kaoru, as she was ironically bound in chains. Haruto took it from Mako and managed to place it in her hand.

"Please come back to us…Kaoru-chan!" Haruto pleaded.

Her thumb depressed the button, and a cloud of Cosmic Energy surrounded her, and she was back to normal! The Switch then dissolved into nothingness.

"Well, that's one down, my Lord!" Ryunosuke said.

"Yes. But we still need the one for Kotoha." Takeru said.

"I think Sakura, Suiren, and Navcase have that one," Mako explained.

Escape's shots still failed to cause damage to the thick armor of Sakura, but it was no less effective in annoying her.

"Time to fight dirty," Sakura said to herself as she concentrated, and weaved, leaving after images of herself, which Escape shot as well. Ryūsui no Ugoki in place, and Escape confused, it was time for the coup de grace.

Holding her katana in a reverse grip, she slashed rapidly six times, the force of the attack able to knock Escape out of her Evolve form, as she teleported away.

Suiren had her own plan to get the upper hand on entering. Luring him in as he thrust, she used her no-daichi to pin his sword arm. She then let him have it with the full force of her charge cannon point blank, which peeled his Unite form off him like an onion, and probably would have derezzed him as well had he not cursed in French and spirited himself away.

Navcase had gone to his ready position of Shinken no Kamae, trying to analyze if there was a pattern to Libra's movements. But at the same time, he was gathering his power as well for an attack which would hopefully take out the giant cockroach priest.

"Navcase! Let's finish this guy together." Sakura said as she and Suiren readied for another go.

Under his helmet, Navcase smiled, as his energy was finally gathered up for his attack.

"HITEN MITSURUGI RYUU! HITEN MUGEN ZAN!"

Navcase took off like a shot, tearing up the pavement in an aura of energy, slamming into Libra. As he staggered back, Suiren came crashing down on her with her Thunder Bolt Cut, back flipping away, before Sakura collided with him, used her jump jets to launch him into the air, before focusing her power and shouting,

"FLARE UP…NOW!"

A smoldering Libra collided with the ground as he used his staff to struggle to his feet, before teleporting away like the others.

"Hey, looks like he dropped something." Suiren observed, picking up a more stylized Zodiarts Switch that had the astrological symbol for Cancer on it.

"I've got this," Sakura said, hopping on Kanesada and speeding off. Suiren and Navcase went airborne and headed for Shiba House.

The Shinkengers and Mages were still hard at work trying to keep Kotoha from taking them out and at the same time not turning her into dinner when Sakura pulled up.

"Haruto, catch!" she called to the Ringed Magician.

"Kotoha-chan, please come back to us!" Haruto pleaded, forcing the Switch into her claws and then after a brief struggle, got her to depress it and she turned back to normal.

"I had the weirdest dream!" Kotoha blurted out.

"You did?" Mako asked.

The younger girl nodded.

"I dreamt I was a crab!" Kotoha replied, causing everyone to face fault.

"Haruto, one of your rings is glowing."

"It is?" he asked, searching for the culprit on his belt and holding it up. "My Teleport Ring? I wonder…How about a test?"

Teleport, Please!

A magic portal opened, and Haruto beckoned the Shinkenger and Kousuke to follow him, and instantly, they were back at Mr. Brown's!

"This should come in handy. But I wonder why it works now and not before?"

Before further contemplation could be done, Chiaki entered.

"I'm back! Geez, the line for registration was so long! Anyone else hungry? How about seafood?"

Kotoha, acting very un-Kotohalike, walked up to him with one of Mako's death stares, and slapped him across the head.

"Woah, Kotoha, what the heck was that for?!"

"She's had a long day, Chiaki," Mako explained. "Just leave it at that."

Back at their hideout, Libra and Enter had been called before their mysterious master.

"SO, ANY RESULTS FOR OPERATION LHAPN?" he asked.

"Majeste, about that…" Enter began.

"We have tried multiple times to capture the various Riders and Sentai members for your plans, Master. But the problem seems to be that we are dealing with multiple hero groups at the same time. The Space Kamen Rider Club, Team Gaim, the Magician of Hope, the Primordial Mage, Shinkenger, Go-Onger, and Go-Busters are all here, AT THE SAME TIME. An attack on one draws the others to their aid. To make matters worse, all involved are getting more and more proficient at defeating us. And that does not count the Power Rangers Samurai who live here and the three strangers that we have encountered." Libra explained.

"So, you're their boss, huh? Fascinating!" a voice said.

"What are you doing here, Ryouma…" Libra demanded to know.

"I stowed away when you guys went into this sub-dimension. Also, I had an idea."

"AH, SO YOU ARE THE RYOMA SENGOKU OF THIS WORLD. I WILL LET THIS SLIDE THIS ONCE, PROVIDED YOUR IDEA IS AS GOOD AS YOU THINK. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL END UP A WALL DECORATION IN MY PALACE!"

"Hrm, touchy aren't we. I was merely going to suggest that you send the strongest foe of each of the hero groups after someone else."

"Wait, Majeste! He might be on to something. And I know just the fellow to do it. Could you perhaps send Monsieur Bangray over?" Enter asked.

"VERY WELL, BUT DO NOT WASTE THIS OPPORTUNITY!"

Enter logged out, and the three were back in their hideout.

"Okay, who is this Bangray fellow?" Ryouma asked.

"He is a hunter of giant space beasts. But our interest is in his power to create copies by scanning people's memories."

"I see. So, you'll have Bangray attack all our foes one by one, then shuffle them around, so the Gaim boys get the Shinkenger's strongest enemy, for example?"

"Something like that, oui."

"So, what are we supposed to do?" Kaito asked.

"We protect Bangray and move in for the kill once the hero groups are on the ropes," Libra explained.

"Fine." Kaito sighed. "As long as I get to put Kazuraba out of commission."

This Brings this Chapter to a Close…
