*both Pikatwig and KKD were lying on the ground, exhausted*

Pikatwig: ...intense fight… Mega Evolution vs. Synchro Evolution…

KKD: Hoo boy… intense stuff alright.

Pikatwig: ...how long have we been having this battle? We started on the 22nd of February and it's… uh… *looks at calendar* March 25th.

KKD: Yikes… that went on much longer than I thought.

Pikatwig: ...how did nobody tell us we've been at this for… uh… five weeks?

Neptune: To be honest, we didn't wanna get caught in the crossfire of that battle. So we all just kept our heads down.

Pikatwig: ...fair enough. *looks at the damages caused to the studio* ...good thing I always have a back-up studio on standby. *presses a button, causing a giant mechanical hand to remove the studio and replace it with a perfectly repaired on, all notes and stuff still exactly where they were.*

KKD: Convenient.

Pikatwig: Always have spare bases in case of something like that.

KKD: ...note to self, get one of those for myself.

Pikatwig: I'll help with that.

Takeshi: AHEM!

KKD: Oh, right. Story.

Pikatwig: ...sorry guys. But Pokemon battles are so intense, you can't get away once you're in them…

KKD: That's true.

Hana: AHEM!

Pikatwig: Fine… disclaimers now…

KKD: *pulls out a black cloth* Got it.

"In the last myth… you met the newest Super Sentai team… the Sentai who worked with Youkai. And a skeptic was brought into the fold… he rejected the oddities that Youkai brought with them. Will he be brought back into the fold?"


Takeshi just sat outside his house, holding onto the necklace that was clearly Kota's due to the red color.

"What is with him?" Takeshi muttered in a bit of annoyance, "After all the work to get a fifth member to the team, he just ditches us."

"Well, like I said, we're just fine with four!" Hana told her brother, the male sighing a bit before bopping her on the head with a paper fan, "Ow!"

"A Sentai's full power comes from a team of five. I know there are some that had three to start, and a couple for a while were at four for a while, but five is the staple. If we stay at four members, we're just gonna get our butts kicked in the long run," Takeshi argued.

Hana rolled her eyes, brushing aside her red hair from her face before walking into the house, leaving Takeshi alone with his kirin partner.

"...do you think he's gonna come back?" Kiri asked.

"Who, Kota or Nekki?"

"The nonbeliever,"

"I'm sure of it," Takeshi told Kiri.

"If Nekki has anything to say about it, he will come back. He is one stubborn nekomata,"

"I'll take your word for it. I mean, we have been at this thing for three months now," Takeshi noted, "In comparison, Daisuke was at it for two months, Yoko half a month, and Hana's only been at this for four weeks."

"Yea… we're the most experienced, and yet we can't keep our little group together that well…" Kiri sighed as he walked up to Takeshi's shoulder, "...can we have some fish?"

"Sure," Takeshi smiled.


"Onii-chan… what are you doing?" Ai asked as she watched Kota close and lock the windows.

"Just… making sure nothing unwanted gets in," Kota told her, "Don't worry about it."

"...okay," she smiled as she curled up under her blankets, "Oyasumi (Good night), Onii-chan,"

"Yea… oyasumi," Kota nodded back as he headed for his own room. Unknown to him, Nekki was already inside the house and was currently drinking milk from the fridge…


"Mythology… legends… stories.. They share one connection, mysterious beings known as the Youkai. Creatures that can't be seen and are believed to be nonexistent. Five teens have the rare and mystical ability to see these creatures, but be warned listener of this tale… when a Youkai enters your life… things will never be quite the same."

Myth 02: Red's Discomfort


"...a fifth Mythger…" Raijin growled, slamming his fist into a table, creating sparks of lightning from the impact zone, before he tore up the Kyōrinrin who reported this to him.

"Better ease up there, Rai-san. You don't want to waste our resources in making these guys, do you?" Sun Wukong stated, making Raijin growl before shocking the monkey.

"Don't you DARE disrespect me, Sunfall Dopekong!"

"Sun Wukong."

"WHATEVER! Send out a Youkai to get rid of the Mythgers and kill the rebels, or I will have your head!" Raijin told Sun Wukong.

"...head. ...head… that's it!" Sun Wukong realized as he took out a small slip of paper and wrote out a name, summoning forth a nukekubi.

"Ah yes… the Youkai who appears as a beautiful woman who can separate their head from their body… clever," Raijin stated, "Nukeiri, go out and attack the Mythgers!"

"It will be my honor, Raijin-sama," she smiled.


The next day, Kota looked around to see the kitchen was a total mess. There was empty milk cartons lying on the ground, spilt milk on the ground, empty pudding cups and what looked to be paw prints around the ground. ...a cat's paw prints…

"...you have gotta be kidding me… how the heck did you even get in here?!" Kota demanded of Nekki, the nekomata currently eating another pudding.

"Ohaiyou, aibou, (Good morning, partner)" Nekki greeted as he finished off the pudding, crushed the container and then tossed it onto the floor.

"Seriously?! You're just a regular slob!" Kota growled.

"What's the problem with enjoying a nice morning with your new aibou?" Nekki retorted as he opened up a carton of milk, only for Kota to pick the nekomata up and toss him out the window.

"AND STAY OUT!" Kota shouted.


"Ohaiyou, Take-kun," Yoko greeted as she met up with the blunette on her way to school, "How're you doing?"

"Okay," Takeshi shrugged as he took out Kota's necklace.

"He hasn't come back for it yet?"

"Yep," Takeshi nodded as he put it away and they walked along, "But I can give it to him later, since I know we have class together,"

Yoko gave a small nod as they continued to walk, looking around for the others, before they saw Hana clinging onto Daisuke like a wet bathing suit.

"...Hana…" Takeshi growled.

"What?" Hana responded, "He asked me to hug him,"

"Yes, I did… I asked for a hug, not for you to cling onto me like a magnet!" Daisuke reminded, attempted to pry Hana off of him.

"I'm making sure you stay warm," Hana stated as she clung onto him tighter.

"Wow, this is silly," Nagi stated.

"You'd never see a Youkai denigrate themselves to this," Grifdor stated.

"Get. Off. Of. Me. Cat!" Kota shouted, attempting to pry Nekki off.

"You were saying?" Kiri joked, earning a smack from Grifdor.

"C'mon," Takeshi stated as he and Yoko walked over to Kota, "Heya,"

"Get this cat off of me!" Kota demanded.

The blunette rolled his eyes as he grabbed hold of Nekki's tails and yanked him off Kota, the nekomatta squirming around in Takeshi's grasp for a bit.

Grifdor and Pegus both watched as Nekki then gripped onto Kota's leg and tried to get Kota to stay put.

"I don't have time for this junk, cat, get off of me!" Kota told Nekki, as he attempted to shake Nekki off of him.

"You know, you can't just shake him off like that," Yoko told him as she gently stroked Nekki behind his ear to make him loosen his grip, the cat purring as Yoko managed to get him off of Kota, "You gotta treat him like a kitten a-"

"Keep that annoying cat away from me," Kota told her as he headed to school.


"Mou~! Why do I gotta be in this stuffy ol' locker? I wanna be with my aibou!" Nekki whined as he banged on Takeshi's locker.

"Calm down, Nekki," Kiri told him, "We can't just roam around a place that has a lot of people for no reason,"

"I'm bored. I'm hungry. I wanna eat a pudding. I wanna run around. I wanna play. I run around. I wanna claw something like a cat. I wanna-" Nekki whined, when Grifdor banged on the side of the locker to get him to shut it.

"Did it ever occur to you why it is we're the only Youkai to put up with you is that you're so dang annoying?!" Grifdor told Nekki.

"Grifdor! That's a bit harsh, don't you think?" Kiri told him.

"Would you Youkai shut up?! I'm trying to ssssssleep!" Nagi told them.

The others just kept quiet until Kiri sensed something, "Minna, there's a Youkai nearby!"

"Oh come on…" Nagi whined.

"We gotta get Takeshi and the others!" Kiri stated as he pulled out a small pendant of sorts.


Takeshi was working on a math assignment, when he saw a charm on his necklace begin to glow. He pressed covered himself up with a jacket and pressed it.

"Takeshi here, what's up?" He asked as a holographic image of Kiri appeared.

-I sense a Youkai nearby. We need to get out and get going,- Kiri informed.

Takeshi nodded before he lightly poked Yoko and Daisuke, making a single with his thumb, index and middle finger, giving a sort of indication of a lower case 'Y'. They both nodded, and then Yoko did the same to Hana, she nodded. They then quickly requested to be excused before dashing out, with Kota simply watching them.


"Where's my aibou?" Nekki demanded to know as Takeshi arrived and unlocked the locker, "Where is he?!"

"Doubt he's gonna help, Nekki, so just stay there!" Takeshi told him as Kiri walked out and Takeshi closed the locker.

Nekki groaned in response as the other Youkai hurried off.


The Mythgers arrived at where Kiri had sensed the Youkai, seeing there were some kappas.

"This'll be easy," BlueMyth scoffed, as he pressed a button in his belt buckle and summoned his boomerang. He tossed it forward, bouncing it at the dishes on the kappas, but the boomerang ricocheted off of a wall and nearly smacked a woman who was sitting there and reading, "...whoops,"

"Nice going, dope," BlackMyth groaned, earning a wallop to the head from WhiteMyth, "Ow!"

"Don't you dare mock him!"

The two both began to argue, making VioletMyth groan in annoyance. She walked over to the woman in concern, "Ma'am, it's dangerous here. You have to get out of here,"

However, the woman just continued to sit and read her book, not moving an inch.

"Ma'am, did you hear me?" VioletMyth asked, when suddenly BlueMyth's boomerang bonked on the back of her helmet, "Hey!"

"Sorry!"

"Hey, you do remember people can't see us, right?" BlackMyth reminded.

"Oh… duh," VioletMyth giggled as she lightly bonked her forehead.

"Keep fighting!" BlueMyth stated as he tossed his boomerang again and it bounced around again, with VioletMyth dodging it… but as a result it went right for the woman's neck! None of the Mythgers were close enough to stop it, VioletMyth covering her eyes when… the woman's head floated up.

"...what?" They blinked.

"Something's not right here…" BlackMyth stated.

"Okay… you got me Mythgers," the woman stated, her head still floating in the air.

"It's a nukekubi," WhiteMyth informed, preparing her claws, "It's a woman whose head can float off the body and they have a thirst for blood."

"Scatter!" BlackMyth told the group as they ran away from the floating head, who began laughing insanely as the Mythgers ran for their lives.


Kota just stared out a window, pondering where Takeshi and the others all were, feeling a bit nervous as he couldn't see them.

"...hmm…" he muttered as he walked to the library, "Well… if there's any place to learn anything."

In the library was a woman with red hair, brown eyes, and wearing a lot of white, with a red sun on her sleeves.

"Hello," Kota waved as he walked up to her, "You a librarian?"

"Yes I am," she nodded, "Ms. Sakurai,"

"My name's Kota. I recently moved here… uh… you wouldn't happen to have anything on… uh… Youkai, would you?"

Ms. Sakurai laughed a little bit before she pulled out a book with the name 'Youkai, Legends, Other Mythical Creatures'.

"...thank you," he nodded, taking the book and proceeded to sit down and read it.

Kota actually got rather into the book, enjoying it and thinking over being a Mythger again.


"Swat it away, swat it away!" WhiteMyth shouted as she ran from Nukeiri's head. BlackMyth attempted to smack it away with his spear, but he couldn't get a clear enough time to hit her.

"What do we do? We can't hit her," VioletMyth asked BlackMyth.

"...we gotta fall back," BlackMyth told them.

"What?!" WhiteMyth gawked.

"We can't hit her, we're all to scared to approach, we need to leave!" BlackMyth told his twin.

"I'm not leaving without a fight!" WhiteMyth told her brother, which resulted in a wallop to the head from her brother.

"Fall back!" BlackMyth told the team as they made a run for it.

"That's it, run and hide! You'll never be able to stop the Youkai Army!" Nukeiri shouted as the team made their retreat.


"I can't believe we had to run away like that!" Grifdor growled in anger, "What a pain in the butt!"

"Be happy we got outta there alive," Nagi sighed.

"...Lady Amaterasu… I'm sorry," Takeshi apologized, kneeling before the white wolf.

"Understandable. A nukekubi is one tricky Youkai, I should know, I fought one once. I almost didn't make it out alive," Amaterasu informed, "I don't know how you can stop her… but to have the power of all five Mythgers assembled."

"See, I told you we needed the fifth Mythger, Hana," Takeshi told his still recovering sister.

"Oh shut your mouth," Hana told Takeshi dismissively.

Takeshi shrugged it off before he took out Kota's necklace, "...I need to find him and convince him to help us,"


Kota was soon wandering around the town, before he found a small sushi stand, with a sign reading 'Gold Sushi'. Kota walked over and sat down at it, seeing a certain blue haired male was there.

"...oh come on…" Kota groaned.

"What? I'm on break and I eat here normally,"

Kota shrugged and thus ordered something, being a bowl of yakisoba, "Strange that despite the name 'Gold Sushi' they serve other things."

"Heard the reason that it's like that is because of some mess involving curry rice," Takeshi shrugged.

"I see… well, in any case, I'll have an order of california roll sushi and some takoyaki with soy sauce," Takeshi ordered, the man behind the counter nodding before getting to work on the orders.

"Why haven't you made a resturant, mind my asking?" Kota asked.

"Just because I'm worried I may lose my creative freedom," the stand owner informed, continuing to make the food for the two.

"Makes sense," Takeshi stated, "So Kota… where are you from?"

"I don't wanna talk about it," Kota responded, Takeshi just nodding as his sushi arrived.

"You like sushi?" Takeshi asked, with Kota shrugging in response, "...look, Kota… the team needs you,"

"Why?" Kota responded.

"We had an issue and… we need a team of five," Takeshi informed.

"Why me?"

"Because… you know what's really happening," Takeshi whispered to Kota, "Nekki chose you and he won't un-choose you. You have to help us."

Kota was silent as the yakisoba arrived and he began to eat it, thinking about his decision.


"It is so much fun to scare those dumb Mythgers around," Nukeiri laughed as she drank some tea.

"Tell me, dear Nukeiri, how did you kill those pesky rebels?"

"Kill? Well I never saw them,"

Suddenly, she was hit by lighting, much to her surprise.

"You. Didn't. Kill. Those. Rebels?!" Raijin growled, "Don't you dare come back here… UNTIL YOU KILL THEM!"

Nukeiri quickly ran off, clearly in a panic, Sun Wukong chuckling nearby.


While Daisuke attempted to plan to fight the Youkai, Hana and Yoko were playing a card game.

"Ha, I win," Yoko smirked,

"What were we even playing again? And why do we have hanafuda cards?" Hana questioned.

"Well, I dunno," Yoko shrugged, "To both questions."

Hana groaned loudly as she placed the cards down.

"Lucky you learned to stop having bets with Yoko, right?" Daisuke stated.

"True." Hana nodded.

Yoko rolled her eyes and plopped down her cards, turning to see Nagi was currently messing around with Pegus and Grifdor by slithering and evading them.

"Hold still so we can tag you!" Pegus growled, trying to pounce on.

"How is it she's so fast?" Grifdor growled.

"She is part snake," Yoko told them, "Snakes tend to be very fast,"

"But are they fast enough to help you evade me?!" Nukeiri shouted, her head bowling down the three Youkai.

"Nagi!" Yoko gasped in worry, "Oh you're so gonna pay for that!"


"What's going on?" Takeshi asked as he was contacted by VioletMyth.

-The dumb Youkai found us! And she's after Nagi-tachi!-

"Nani?!"

"Going after the Youkai… is that bad?" Kota whispered, not sure about this.

"It is totally bad!" Nekki shouted as he jumped up, "Because to the 'king' of our world, we're evil rebels and junk,"

"...ok?" Kota blinked, as Takeshi handed him the necklace.

"Dude… please, we need you," Takeshi begged.

Kota glanced at the necklace for a moment, sighing a bit before looking back at Takeshi.

"...I'll help, but you gotta agree to something first," Kota told him.

"...ok," Takeshi nodded.


VioletMyth attempted to attack the head, while BlueMyth hid their partners, WhiteMyth leaping in and attempting to hit the head, but failing due to how evaded.

"This is so much fun," Nukeiri laughed happily, cackling as she floated above the three, when suddenly it came to a halt, "Wh-what the-?!"

"About time you get here, baka!" WhiteMyth shouted.

BlackMyth stood above the group, preparing himself, while RedMyth was currently by the body of Nukeiri, one of his katanas by her shoulder.

"...you guys do know that this is the weakness, right?" RedMyth blinked, "I mean come on! It's so obvious!"

VioletMyth, WhiteMyth and BlueMyth all thought for a moment before giving a collective facepalm.

"How is it a non-believer thought of a solution before we did?!" WhiteMyth groaned.

"Have you considered he'd do the occasional research?" BlackMyth retorted, "Or were you just to scared to try and fight a-"

WhiteMyth dashed over and bonked her brother with her claws in annoyance at that.

"...moving on…" RedMyth sighed as he kicked the body away.

"Stop that!" Nukeiri shouted, when she was ensnared by VioletMyth's whip, which she extended and wrapped around a few things.

"I'll hold her back as long as possible, you all deal with the body!" VioletMyth shouted.

"Got it!" BlackMyth answered, as BlackMyth charged forward and hit the body with the spear and managed to send it into the air.

WhiteMyth charged in and slashed a few more times with BlueMyth sending his boomerang into the air, which spun around and then finally destroyed it, while making the head vanish into the air.

"Yatta!" VioletMyth cheered.

"...that was a bit of an anticlimax," WhiteMyth stated.


Hana, Yoko and Daisuke all arrived at the Gold Sushi and were preparing a welcome party for Kota. Well… two of them were, but Hana was simply sitting around.

"Why are we celebrating the nonbeliever joining us?" Hana inquired.

"Don't got harping on him like that. He just helped us win the fight!" Yoko responded.

"Come on Hana, please help," Daisuke asked nicely, Hana going all goo-goo for Daisuke before happily aiding in putting up streamers and stuff.

Grifdor rolled his eyes at this, sighing as he watched Hana aid in preparing the area.

Takeshi, Kiri and Nekki walked along to the place, and they looked in surprise.

"Heya, Take-kun," Yoko smiled, Takeshi blushing as he smiled at her.

"H-Hi…" he waved.

"So, where's the non believer?" Hana asked, looking around to find Kota.

"He's not coming," Takeshi informed, "He only agreed to help us… if we gave him some more time to think."


Pikatwig: And a cliffhanger.

KKD: Man, that was pretty good. Also, I noticed we seem to really be bucking trends here.

Pikatwig: ...huh?

KKD: We haven't really gotten a full team henshin by now, neither has the red ranger fully joined the team. Heck, by now the team would've used their mecha, and we haven't even seen them yet.

Pikatwig: I have my reason. Anyway… thoughts on this chapter?

KKD: Pretty nice overall. Not much to say, but at the least it makes sense for Kota to be skeptical about all this and be hesitant to fully join.

Pikatwig: I can agree with that, and I honestly really think this is special. Oh, and the day we finished this… is the day after Super Sentai's 40th anniversary. ...yeah, we haven't been fully focused on anything-

KKD: I've been going on ahead, but I passed my chance with it since I need to wait on all my data for my DA Crowd-Sourced Sentai… at least I know it's got a video game motif with Mythical Beasts and Magic involved.

Pikatwig: ...okay, I haven't been fully focused on anything, but really with how busy I am, this at least makes sense. Favorite part anyway… it's gotta be the slight reference to Shinkenger with 'Gold Sushi'. While this isn't in the main Super Sentai canon, the cameo is meant to be that, a cameo.

KKD: Works for me. I mean, Power Rangers did something similar with RPM having a Jungle Karma location as a cameo despite RPM being in an alternate universe.

Pikatwig: True that. Anyway… we will be doing something special for the 40th anniversary, I assure you. Keep an eye on my DA account to see it. Thus, we end off. Just Live More.

KKD: Jaa ne.
