Preface: Looking at this again... I have to say that maybe I'm taking the mid-season villain upgrade a bit too far...
Ah, hell. I'll just keep it this outrageous. I mean, I'm givingthe good guys a mech from another series that has a reputation of being badass, and can combine with the other five that are being found this chapter.
Yes, a six mech Megazord will appear later.
And this chapter will give more insight into the bad guys' situation.
I'll give you a hint: someone will break the Fourth Wall several times, before it's over.

There was the sudden clattering of blades as the last Warden in Konoha deflected an attack from his foe.
"Man, you can't even go a week without trying to attack Konoha, can you?" Naruto asked, jumping away from Sasuke and flicking his blade dramatically to the side.
"Vengeance shall be mine." Sasuke retorted, his mask's mouthpiece sliding open as he formed a set of handsigns.
The usual fight being left behind, we speed off...
\
In Madara's lair, another eyeball attached to H4X0R closed as a white spandex suit appeared around a young man in the room.
"Hm..." He said, looking in a mirror that had appeared near him at his suit.
To basically describe it, assume it to look like the normal Wardens' costume, with coiling patterns down the arms and a snake themed helmet, complete with glowing yellow 'eyes' on the top.
"What, exactly, am I called?" He asked, turning towards a grinning Madara. Well, Madara was grinning behind the mask, at least. Probably.
"The White 'SCIENCE!' Warrior."
"...Acceptable. Now, on to business. We have three fewer Warriors on our side than that 'Shodarm' you speak of has Wardens. That is hardly fair."
"I know, I know, but I believe that the damnable tree has finally run out of eyes to create more Wardens. They'll have to work with six."
"...I meant that Naruto is as strong as-probably stronger than, actually- Sasuke and that five versus two is not good odds, despite our power differences. We need some sort of balancer..."
"Giant robots."
"... What?"
"Giant. Robots."
"...What is a robot?"
"A nonliving entity than can be controlled easily."
"...You mean like a zombi-"
"No, you necromancer, I mean like... a puppet. A really, really big puppet. Made out of metal."
"Fascinating. I suppose that they have several of these themselves, hm?"
"Had. H4X0R here smashed them for us."
"Really? So if we get three together, we'll have the advantage?"
"Most certainly."
"g00d. Teh Pink Gorilla, White Snake, adn Black Hawk Zords r finished, d00d. " H4X0R interrupted as three giant robots appeared in spirals of warping skillz.
"...I love Izanagi..."
"...It just made those?"
"Prepare to deploy! Go, my necromancer ally, to your new toy!"
"...Fine. I presume they have a transformation sequence?"
"rite. adn tehy can combine."
"Good. Now, Kabuto, go and get Sasuke's minion, grab your 'Zords' and go aid Sasuke in destroying the last Leaf Warden."
"Very well."
The white clad Warden vanished in a spin of flame, leaving H4X0R and Madara apparently alone in the room.
"H4X0R, go and see what you can do for my 'monster activator' machine."
"Sir." The eye covered beast said as its eyes all closed, vanishing as it finished.
"And you..." With that, Madara turned towards a corner, glaring. "Will tell me who you are and why you're here."
"Ah, so you finally noticed." An oddly dressed man said, fading into view from the corner. Clad in a loose looking cloak and lightweight robes, he looked similar to a traveling monk.
Until the hair was seen, proving that, yes, he wasn't a monk, because monks do not have grey-green ponytails and glasses that appeared to be the standard 'evil genius' style of small frames with slightly (green) tinted lenses.
"My name is unimportant for now, mostly because the Author said 'no' again. But my purpose is quite simple: I'm your new supplier. Pleased to meet you."
"...My new supplier? Why would I even need one?"
"I specialize in acquiring... artifacts and unique monsters. I can give you an army of monsters, one per week, excepting the final episode of the season, to take over the world."
"So? Zetsu can do that. And what do you mean 'final episode of the season'?"
"The Wardens have started packing herbicide when they head out to fight them. They know what to expect. However, if you try something... new, they'll be taken by surprise."
"...New?"
"From another world, one that was by far more advanced than this one is, before it was ruined, I acquired an interesting set of... creatures that I managed to replicate a few of and reduce in size, as well as an extremely powerful artifact, known for completely destroying people's sense of self. I can give you a single copy of the artifact and one of the lower end of my copied creatures as an introductory offer and a chance to test them against your foes."
"Sadly, only one is still here."
"Then why wouldn't you accept the free gift when you have nothing to lose?"
/
The fight between Naruto and Sasuke had... increased in scale.
On one side, there was a giant robot that appeared to have a snake with a slim head for its right arm, a gorilla for its body, and a hawk for both head and a shield.
On the other there was a giant, orange, blocky, humanoid robot with a fox like head. And nine blades arrayed around the back, forming a sunburst-like circle behind it.
Currently, each mecha was trying to stab the other with an oversized sword.
Sidestepping a swing from its foe, the combined Zord grabbed the Kitsune Zord (yes, that's what it's called) by two of the 'tails' that were on its back and twisted, ripping the entire back attachment off in one fell swoop.
"NOW YOU LOSE, DUNCE! AHAHAHA!" A psychotic sounding voice boomed as the fused Zord impaled the lone Zord in the back with its own weaponry, before crushing the head under its heel.
'He's gone psycho...' The White SCIENCE! Warden thought as the current pilot kept stomping on the destroyed Kitsune Zord, long after it had stopped moving.
\
In the 'command center', Naruto panted as he landed from the warp that had saved him.
"Man, they've even gotten the Kitsune Zord. Now what?" He muttered, looking around as he demorphed.
"Now I'm sending you to get a new mecha." The Shodarm said, relieved to finally be back in the only story that was ever going to be written about it. "Any pressing matters that would interfere?"
"Well... I've got a psychologist appointment in... three hours. Then Captain Yamato and I are being sent out to Kumo with a bunch of other Jonin..." Naruto replied, looking at the tree-thing.
"Yeah. I'm going to need you to not teleport me like that. I'll be out of range for you."
"...A psychologist appointment?"
"Granny Tsunade and the elders insisted that I attend regular 'my-teammates-betrayed-the-village-anonymous' meetings. They say that it'll make things 'easier' for me to deal with being the only person powerful enough to kill them both."
"...Did you do anything to irritate Lady Tsunade before she told you to do that?"
"...I... may have... accidentally painted the walls one of the most influential clans in the village's compound..."
"...'Accidentally'?"
"...He called Hinata foolish for 'chasing someone who's probably just going to betray the village in a few weeks to rejoin his team' and sent his minions after me when I tried to visit her..."
"..."
"Good to see chivalry is still alive in this day and age. If they insult your girlfriend, you should get them for that." The tree said, ignoring the feeble protest about how 'I can't have girlfriend until Sasuke gets retrieved or is killed'. "Now, I suppose that you should head back to your home."
The usual warp appeared around Naruto, causing him to vanish as it faded.
/
On another world, a quintet of annoyed teenage ninja was trudging through an overly thick swamp.
"I'm telling you, we should have made the last left!" A shrill voice screeched as the thud of a pineapple haired person being hit on the back of the head could be heard.
"Hey, Kiba's the one with the map." The usually apathetic teen retorted, hoping to aim the fury of the blonde away from himself.
"...That wasn't a dog biscuit you gave me?" Kiba asked nervously. "Because it tasted kinda off, but I didn't want to insult whoever baked it..."
"ARRRGH!" Ino yelled, pulling at her hair as she screamed. "We're STUCK in the MIDDLE of NOWHERE, WITH AN IDIOT leading us. I regret saying that Hinata shouldn't take point."
"F-fine. Byakugan. T-the temple we're looking for is over there, a-about ten miles away." Hinata said, forming a lone hand sign before pointing off to the left. "I-in it are five g-giant... things. I-I think those are what we're s-supposed to be retrieving..."
"Yosh! Let us go!"The greenest of the team yelled before the entire group set off, following Hinata.
\
In Konoha, the night before the Orange Oath Warden was set to leave, a single, odd, shape was visible moving through the streets, smashing fruit stands and leaving a trail of general destruction.
For the most part, the creature was humanoid. Roughly ten feet tall, with an odd white beaked helmet over a glowing red circle on its chest, two claws on its arms and two foot long hollow tubes jutting out of its arms, it gave off a feeling of 'wrong anime, author. This isn't an angsty deconstruction of mecha shows'.
And then the grey smoke appeared in front of it, three genin posing.
"Stop right there, monster!" The leader of the three yelled, pointing at it with his right hand.
"We won't let you destroy our village!" The only female of the three continued, posed dramatically so she was looking over her shoulder.
"After all, Boss wouldn't be very happy if we did!" The third finished, pushing up his glasses.
"The Konohamaru Corps will defeat yo-"
The combined sentence was cut off by an overly symbolic (cross shaped) blast of white energy that was somehow deflected upwards by a new figure, one that was hinted at two chapters ago.
Clad in what would be considered very odd in anything other than this story (which is turning every single thing it can get its hands on into a Sentai team ally or villain), stood a girl about the same height as the just-rescued Konohamaru Corps.
Her clothing started with a base suit of... white spandex, followed by bulky black torso and limb armor and a... cannon... replacing the right hand gauntlet for the new arrival. On the other limb, a large shield was smoking, having been used to deflect the blast. A black helmet, grey visor closed and mouth area sealed, covered the newcomer's head, blocking the view of her face and hair. Red crystals were placed around her armor, with one on the top of the helmet, one on the back of each hand, one on top of each foot, and a large one on the center of the breastplate.
Whistling, Konohamaru looked over his and his friends' savior again.
"Nice armor!" He said, ignoring the attempts of Udon and Moegi to drag him away.
"Yeah? Well, go away." The girl retorted in an annoyed tone that seemed familiar to Konohamaru for some reason. "You'll just get in my way."
"You sound familiar..." The idiotic genin continued, ignoring the demand from the girl for him to leave. "Say, mind sharing your name?"
"Yes. Now, go away and hide. I've got to deal with this thing right now."
"Tell you what, I'll help yo-"
The idiotic leader of the Konohamaru Corps failed to complete the sentence, mostly because an offhand backhand had flattened him.
"Take him away." The armored girl said, still eyeing the monster as it shrugged and stood still for a brief moment. "He'll be fine."
"Thanks." Moegi said as she and Udon picked up their fallen leader and started moving away at a decent speed.
'I love this 'Mahou Shoujo' gig that tree set up for me...' The armored girl thought, before aiming her right arm at the monster and sending a huge energy blast at it, one disproportionate to the size of the cannon firing it.
The blast impacted on the creature, kicking up a large cloud of dust and obscuring it from view.
"Mission: Success." The girl said with an arrogant tone, turning away.
Then there was the expected roar, as the dust cleared to reveal an unharmed monster ripped from another anime with a hexagonal, orange shield in front of it.
/
Madara was, for lack of a better word, annoyed.
"I thought that there were only six Leaf Wardens, damnit! And that they were all teenagers!" He yelled, watching the fight between his 'free-gift with purchase' monster and the purple and black wearing preteen.
"...Tell me, does the tree you're fighting ever... go off on rants about 'this story getting canceled' or similar?" The mysterious monster marketer muttered, watching the obviously foreshadowed Magical Girl run like hell and send multiple blasts backwards at the monster that was in pursuit.
"...How did you know that?"
"It explains so much. He knows that this is a story and that we're reliant on REVIEWS to keep existing."
"...What?"
"Never mind. It doesn't matter. Now, for your next order... Can I put you down for twenty of the 'Mark I: E-class' mooks, as well as, say, a Version 5 Octohedron assault platform?"
"Yes to the mooks, no to the real monster. Give me something with more... power to it."
"...Hm... Mark IV WotC Copyright Infringer? "
"Hm? What's that?"
"This purple thing." The monster salesman said, casually flipping out the catalogue and pointing to the mentioned creature.
"No. I like the giant green monster back several pages, though."
"Ah, the Baelnoth. Excellent choice. I'll need a little extra time to summon it, but I'll be able to get it to you by the end of next week."
"Wonderful. I suppose that you'll have to wait until after the 'Version III Wrong Anime Monster' is destroyed to use it..."
"No, no. If a monster survives your turn, then it stays until it doesn't."
"My 'Turn'?"
"Technical term for the duration of one week in which you create a monster and send it out to kill your foes."
\
"Yamato, someone is breaking the Fourth Wall!" The Shodarm cried out, inadvertently doing the same. "I suspect that Madara now has someone supplying him with monsters! Someone who is upset about his fic being canceled- again!"
"...Other than Zetsu?"
"Yes."
"...Crap. Herbicide won't cut it anymore, right?"
"Yep. Fortunately, the Wardens should be returning soon. Maybe they'll be able to blast this one..."
"...Didn't you say that the first time a new type of monster appears, it's up to the 'powerful and uniquely costumed Sixth Warden' to beat it?"
"...How many Wardens do you see running around in Magical Girl gear?"
"...You mean that the fifth one was actually the sixth?"
"Nope. I'm just messing with you. Whiskers is the real Sixth Warden."
"...Then why isn't Hinata's costume normal?"
"I told you, her sister negotiated it, and her costume. I was kind of in need of a Warden and a back-up plan, so it worked out well for all of us."
"...Back-up plan?"
"Know those rumors of a mysterious girl in armor showing up when monsters attack town and the Wardens are away?"
"...That's Hanabi?
"No feces, Holmes. I kinda just said that."
"...Who would this 'Holmes' be?"
"Fictional character on the other side of the Wall. A brilliant detective."
"...'Wall'?"
"Crap. I broke it again."
"..."
"Back to the Plot. Now we must hope that the Wardens hurry back..."
/
The Wardens had arrived at the temple in the middle of the swamp after a great many difficult trials, meaning they had terrified a few giant monsters that tried to get them just by sounds of Ino and Kiba arguing.
Stepping into the ancient interior, the group looked around at the dusty tarps covering the intending new Zords.
"So... How do we pick them?" Kiba asked after the group stared in awe for a minute.
"Yosh! We shall see which one is in our color!" Lee enthusiastically yelled, yanking the covering off of one of the giant robots, revealing...
A giant, green... Squirrel mecha.
"YOSH! THIS IS MOST YOUTHFUL!"
"..."
The silence continued for a few minutes, as the group stared, slackjawed, at the spectacle of Lee dancing around a giant squirrel mecha.
"...Alright, I'll go next." Kiba said, finally turning towards the large mech further back.
Pulling the tarp off, he revealed... A giant, red three headed dog mech.
"...Cerberus Zord..." He read off the small plaque near the bottom of it. "Nice."
"Meh, I'll go next." Shikamaru muttered, moving towards the next tarp.
Pulling it down, he revealed...
A large, blue deer robot.
"...Why didn't I expect this?"
"...Man, Shika, you're not lucky."
"I-Ino, it's your turn."
"Alright, alright. If it's a pig, though..." Ino muttered, moving to the next tarp covering a mecha.
It was. And yellow.
The scream of rage made a large flock of birds several miles away fly off in fear.
When the temple stopped shaking, Hinata turned towards the last tarp covering a mecha.
We shall now take a look inside the thought processes of the team as she walked up towards the tarp covered mecha.
'Let it be a mouse, let it be a mouse...'
'...Knowing our luck, it'll be something odd... Like a mouse... Or a beam of light, or something...'
'Yosh! I hope that Hinata's mecha will be most youthful!'
'Not a rabbit, not a rabbit... '
'P-please be something useful...'
The tarp was removed, revealing...
"ARRGH! WHY DOES SHE ALWAYS GET THE SPECIAL TREATMENT?"
"...Damnit... I guessed wrong..."
"Yosh! That is most youthful!"
"...Now that is a good mecha."
"...S-Solverna Mk V? T-that's its name?" Hinata said, looking up at the large, designed to look female, mech that was painted a light purple from the plaque in front of it.
/
Kicking back in his chair, his feet on a table pulled into the makeshift war-room, the new monster supplier sipped a drink from a flask, grinning while he did so.
"Well?" He asked, looking over at his intended customer. "What do you say?"
"...I promise to let you 'tap' my world for this 'mana' after I take over, and in exchange you'll provide me with minions up to and after I take over?"
"Yep!"
"Why?"
"...The last world I found isn't that good of a source for green, white, or red, so I came here."
"I mean why do you need it?"
"...I'm planning on taking over the multiverse. Supreme Overlord is the title I'm aiming for. I need mana to do it, though. Can't summon a huge army without mana."
"...Makes sense. Tell me, does this 'tapping' of yours cause any damage to the landscape?"
"Nope! Completely eco-friendly!"
"...Fine. I agree to this deal."
"Great! I'll have the papers delivered to you soon-like."
"...I did have one more question, though."
"And what would that be?"
"What the hell is that orange stuff you spilled on my new carpet when you were 'quaffing', as you put it?"
The response was cut short by a loud warning sound as five giant robots materialized in the last known location of the Taka-Hebi Megazord.
"...And they get new robots. Fan- *******-tastic." Madara muttered, looking at the (recently added by the new supplier) monitor and seeing the diverse group of robots.
"...Is that a squirrel?"
\
Author's Notes: Yes, that's a Planeswalker aiding the main villain and bringing in stuff from other anime. And from card games.
Seriously, though, this was needed. For one thing, I needed an excuse to send in a whole lot of new monsters that aren't plant based, and for another I was really wanting to throw something odd at the good guys.
And hey, the bad guys now consist of: Madara Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha (Black Vengeance Warrior), Kabuto Yakushi (White SCIENCE Warrior), Sakura Haruno (Dark Pink Delusion Warrior), Kisame, Zetsu, and now this newcomer who only wants his name to be said. They're hax enough for these things to be their minions.
(Sir, please kick him out. He's trying to steal the Squirrel Zord and take over your computer with it... He said something about 'writing the Adventures of' something or another.
...Deal with him. Now.)
Anyway, now the knowing good guys consist of: the Wardens, as expected, the Shodarm, Yamato, and finally a 'Mahou Shojo' style Hanabi.
Now, until next chapter, the second in the miniseries, farewell
MY NAME IS TE-
