"Mako, please hurry with that vacuum." Kotoha shouted.
"Kotoha, you just vacuumed the floor five minutes ago." Mako said, bemused.
"And it's dirty again. Please bring the vacuum." Kotoha pleaded.
It was two weeks after Urara's visit. They were anxious but were able to calmly go about their days. That all changed the previous day, when Urara sent Kotoha a text, saying she'll be there the next day. If Urara had known her friends better, she would've made a surprise visit. If she thought that would've been cruel, it was only because she didn't know what was going on now.
"Mako, could you dust the shelves real quick." Kotoha asked.
"Those shelves that I dusted an hour ago?" Mako asked.
"Yeah, those." Kotoha said innocently, not understanding the craziness of her request. Knowing this, Mako turned Kotoha towards her and hugged her. Kotoha relaxed and rested her head on her wife's shoulder.
"Kotoha, it'll be okay." Mako said, rubbing Kotoha's back.
"I'm sorry." Kotoha said. "I just don't want to ruin our chance to have a baby."
"Urara is not going to stop the spell because of a few crumbs." Mako said. "You heard what she said. 'I'm sure it's against a law somewhere to keep you two from having a baby'." Both smiled at the memory, but it didn't soothe Kotoha as much as Mako hoped.
"Kotoha, are you ready?" Mako asked. "I just got excited and never asked what you wanted."
Kotoha smiled and hugged Mako tighter.
"And what part of raising a child with you would I not like?" Kotoha said with a smile.
The two moved to kiss each other when the front door bell rang, causing them both to jump. They opened the door excitedly and were ecstatic to see Urara... and a little confused to see another young woman, a jacket and skirt of black and pink, next to her.
"I'm sorry miss, we're closed for the day." Kotoha said politely to the mysterious woman. She was about to show the young woman out until Urara stopped her.
"Kotoha, what she has to say is very important. Please let her talk." Urara said seriously. Kotoha and Mako's hands got clammy and their stomachs dropped. Urara's tone told them whatever this stranger had to say really was important but it was not going end well for any of them.
"First, let me show you your secrets are safe with me." the other woman said as she took out what looked like a license. On it, Mako could see the letters S, P, and D on it and figured out who this lady was.
"Emergency, Dekaranger." Umeko, the woman with Urara, shouted. In an instant, the woman was covered in a pink spandex-like material and pink helmet, aka DekaPink. Mako and Kotoha were both shocked and not surprised at the same time.
"As you can see, I'm a Sentai Ranger just like you, Shinken Pink" DekaPink directed to Kotoha "and you, Shinken Yellow." DekaPink directed to Mako as she untransformed back into Umeko. Urara pulled Umeko towards her and whispered to her, pointing to each Shinkenger. Umeko had a look of pure terror and embarrassment. Umeko and Urara whispered angrily to each other, until Umeko picked the wrong words to say out loud.
"How was I supposed to remember Kotoha looked like a little girl and Mako like a super model?"
Mako and Kotoha shifted uncomfortably as Urara smacked her face in dismay. Umeko, to her credit, looked absolutely aghast at what she blurted out.
"Mako, Kotoha, I had less than a minute to describe you and those were the best ways to describe you to someone who didn't know you." Urara said quickly.
"I would've laughed if it wasn't for the problem that you two are referring to." Kotoha said, in a tone that was both nervous and impatient.
"Who said there was a problem?" Urara said in an innocent tone that she knew right away didn't fool Mako or Kotoha.
"Does it have anything to do with a baby for us? Is she Magiel?" Mako asked.
Urara smacked her forehead, forgetting about the baby, as Umeko looked on confused. "No, she's not Magiel. The Saints are still discussing it. I'm sorry I don't have an answer."
"That's okay, I was just curious." Kotoha said, bowing her head as Mako held herself, worried.
Umeko set her open SP License on the table. After hitting a button, a holographic video played showing several ships that were like a mix between cruise ships and chariots with two giant gold/silver engines, one on each side, with protruding spikes. Mako and Kotoha had a feeling these were the villains that had Urara and Umeko uneasy.
"These ships are from the Space Empire Zangyack." Umeko told the two samurai. "They have brutally attacked millions of planets, subjugating them to cruel Zangyack rule. They have recently attacked the Flash Solar System, the home of the Choushinsei Flashman. The Flashmen fought the invasion fleet but were outnumbered and barely escaped. Before they escaped, they found out about the latest planet on the Zangyack's invasion list."
"Earth." Mako said, knowing Umeko wouldn't be here otherwise. Umeko nodded. "So what can we do? Is the fleet really so big the Dekarangers need a few other teams to help?" Mako continued, noting Urara's implied role and the fact her family wouldn't let her go alone.
"Not quite." Umeko said nervously. "We need all the Super Sentai Rangers."
Mako and Kotoha got a little weak in the knees hearing this. How bad is this Zangyack that we need all the Super Sentai? they both thought nervously. That would be answered sooner than any of them would like.
