*Studio's tree is lighten up, to show Sunset Shimmer and Sonata Dusk by it, Sonata simply in awe at the beauty of the tree*
Sonata: This looks amazing!
Sunset: I know… *smiles*
Sonata: You know… I've never celebrated Christmas or Hearth's Warming Eve.
Sunset: That's actually a bit of a concept one of the writers made for the big 'Super Triple Hero Time' Christmas Special.
*Pikatwig, wearing a Santa cap, hurries on in, smiling, as he looked to the script, which had a stamp reading 'Silver Approved' on it.*
Sunset: You look pretty excited.
Pikatwig: Silver approved my plot! Yes! *jumps up happily, as KKD walks in, holding a Bionicle Mask*
KKD: Man… running back and forth between stories can get exhausting. *looks at the mask*
Pikatwig: See you still have that mask buddy. Also… I've seen a bit of Bionicle ads on Cartoon Network… three times in one day. I think I may want to try and watch it… and I'll go on and state my embarrassing history with the franchise. I got a Bionicle toy in a Happy Meal… and I was sitting at the kitchen table for an hour trying to figure out what to do with it.
KKD: ...Uh huh…
Sunset: Huh… uh… Christmas?
Pikatwig: Oh right! Oh, and aibou, just because Silver got his Christmas present first, doesn't mean I forgot about you. So… do you want it before Christmas, or on Christmas?
KKD: Hmm… knowing how busy I might get… feel free to give it to me early.
Pikatwig: Gotcha. *writes that down on a notepad* Anyway, it's time for the Tirple Super Hero Time Christmas Special! And unlike the Halloween Special… which ironically, the two who wrote that aren't here, this focuses on all three heroes. So aibou, disclaimers.
KKD: You got it. *Spreads a Christmas-themed page across the screen*

Snow had begun to fall in Tokyo, coating the landscape in a blanket of white, many kids were outside playing and having fun, while Hinata and Minato were walking through the town, Minato now wearing more wintery attire helping Hinata carry some wrapping paper.
"So Hinata… what's this for?" Minato asked.
"These papers are to help us with wrapping presents," Hinata explained.
"Someone's birthday or somethin'?" Minato asked.
"Not quite. The special day is Christmas day,"
"What's Christmas?" she asked as they returned to their dorm.
Over in a different part of town, by a small house, there was a notable lack of Christmas cheer, which some people noticed, as they walked over and knocked at the door. The door opened up to reveal Yuki of all people, the people who knocked started singing, only to get the door slammed in their faces.
"I don't get it. Why do random people insist on singing by our door?" he asked, the people in question still appearing by the window and started singing anyway, Yuki walked to the back door, grabbed some snowballs, before he opened up the window and began to toss them at the people.
"Yuki-san… why'd you do that?" Karin asked curiously.
"These people singing is interrupting my meditation," he answered, walking away, as Hikaru walked into the house, carrying a boatload of Christmas stuff… which he was carrying in a real boat, "What's with all that, Hikaru?"
"Christmas stuff!" he responded, trying to push the boat inside the door, "Hey Yuki, do me an ice cube and help me move this boat into the house."
"Again I asked… what's with all that, Hikaru?" Yuki asked, as Aqua and Ignatius walked out.
"Onee-chan… Onii-chan's trying to push something inside… via boat," Karin informed, talking to a lamp by where Aqua was.
"Was the boat really needed for the metaphor, Hikaru?" Ventus asked, "Even I'm not that silly… maybe Momo or Kai, sure… but not me."
"The boat isn't the point to this. The point is I'm trying to get Christmas into the base! The boat was free with every hundred dozen lights I bought," Hikaru informed, "Heh… I always beat Tahu in light contests…"
"I've read about those in the Archives… and you cheated Hikaru. Who uses the SUN as part of their light show?" Terra asked.
"I do," Hikaru responded bluntly, as he finally just gave up trying to push it in, "Urgh! Stupid door. Why can't this 15 feet boat fit in this stupid tiny door! Well… FORGET YOU door! Go big, or go home!"
"Why do I worry about what he's going to do next…" Ignatius asked his team.
=KANOHI AVOHKII! LIGHT EM UP!=
Everyone gulped after hearing that, before suddenly, the roof was ripped off by the Av-GoriRessha in Gorilla form, before it proceeded to grab the boat and decorations and placed it inside, before it carefully put the roof back on.
"HIKARU, ARE YOU INSANE?!" Everyone but Aqua and Karin demanded to know as Hikaru walked back in.
"What? The boat wouldn't fit in through the door," Hikaru responded, as everyone but him, Aqua and Karin groaned.
Back in the dorms of Tomodachi Academy, Takeshi and Kai were stringing lights around the room, both currently wearing Santa hats.
"I'm so glad Christmas is here! What do you think Santa's going to bring us this year, since we've been very good," Kai asked.
"Honestly, I'm not sure if he even exists… if he does, I sure hope he brings us some cool games," Takeshi answered, shrugging.
"Wait… you don't believe in Santa?" Kai asked.
"I didn't say I didn't. I just don't know if he is around or not. I keep getting conflicting messages all over the place, whether he's real or not, it doesn't matter much to me."
"Well… his elfs are watching us. Like that short elf that works at the post-office downtown. Or the elf that Blanc has for her mascot!" Kai rebutted.
"You mean Mario?"
"Yea… I've just always wanted to say that," Kai chuckled, as a knock came from the door.
"It's open," Takeshi informed, as Ignatius walked on in, kinda surprising the two, "Ig! Haven't seen you since the school fair. What's up?"
"There's been so many odd things going on lately. There are so many sales going on at stores, there are people ringing bells and asking for money, there are people randomly singing by our house, and a large red man in a sleigh with ponies, is something going on that I'm not aware of?" Ignatius asked.
"Don't they celebrate Christmas in the Pokopokos you and the other Matarangers come from?" Kai asked.
"...You mean the Koros?" Ig corrected, "And… what's Christmas?"
Takeshi and Kai gasped at this, as Takeshi quickly got out his phone and sent a text alert to the others.
-Minna! The Matarangers don't know what Christmas is! Emergency Hero Meeting at Blanc's, one hour!- the message read.
"Why are we suddenly having an Emergency Hero Meeting?" Blanc asked fairly annoyed that the heroes were all in her house unexpectedly.
"I'm just as confused as you are," Peashy admitted.
"I'm glad you are all here today. Because… we have a matter, of urgent importance…" Takeshi informed.
"Is there some new big bad that we all have to take down otherwise he'll destroy the entire planet?" Neptune asked.
"Worse… the Matarangers have never celebrated Christmas!" Takeshi announced, causing everyone but the core six Matarangers, the CPU Goddesses, Eiji and Minato to gasp.
"That's. The. Reason. You all barged into my house?!" Blanc growled in anger.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Blanc! Calm down!" Justin responded, going up to her side, "Maybe they never heard of Christmas where they came from. Same could go for some of the others."
"How can you have never heard of Christmas?!" Neptune gasped, going over to near where the Matarangers were, "If you've been good all year, a magical person will bring you presents on Christmas!"
"Hikaru… how on Mata Nui do you know about this holiday?" Terra asked.
"When you travel around a lot over a period of time, you tend to pick up on things much faster. Oh and also… Karin, why are you sitting by the Kaito?" Hikaru stated, showing that Karin was trying to sit in the same seat as Eiji.
"Oh… that's not you, is it Hikari-nii-san?" Karin asked.
"...No. No it's not," Eiji muttered, "But I'm keeping calm, because I know you're blind. Need any help down, kid?"
"Yea," she nodded, Eiji sighing before lifting her up and onto the floor, with Karin using her aura scanning powers to go over to where Aqua and Hikaru were.
"Uh… I have a question…" Minato stated, raising her hand.
"Go ahead," Vert responded.
"What's Christmas?" Minato asked bluntly.
"...You don't know either?!" Kai gawked.
"Well… the closest holiday I can think of would be… Heart's Aglow Day, which is where we celebrate giving to others," Minato informed, as Neptune did a quick search on her phone.
"Huh… nothing. Wait… where are you from, and how do you know who we are anyway?" Neptune asked.
"Right… guess we never told you…" Mitsuko realized, "Min'na, this is Minato, my Sempai and the former Guardian of Magic. ...And… she's from Eclipsia."
The others who didn't know this all jaw dropped at this, when Peashy walked on over to them, and looked at Minato curiously.
"Honestly… I always thought of you Eclipsians to have unicorn horns… or pegasi wings… or both," Peashy admitted.
"...What?" Minato gawked after some silence, "Okay, some Eclipsians do have wings… but no unicorn horns..."
"Wait… Minato… isn't that the name of the girl you told us to look out for, since she tried to steal your Element?" Takeshi asked Mitsuko.
"It's a long story, but the short version is that she used to be good, lost her friends, got tricked by the bad guys, turned evil, and with help from the rest of us she turned good again," Hinata summarized.
"Wait… are you Tenchi Minato?" Kai asked.
"I sorta just use Tenchi as a last name for certain things… but, I do think it has a nice ring to it," Minato responded.
"Well… it's certainly better than someone naming her last name after her landmass…" Takeshi stated.
=Or our family having an over embarrassing ego with the term 'Neptune' in same variation…= Nepgear added to Takeshi's statement, earning them both a glare from Neptune.
"You're never letting me live that down, are ya?" Neptune groaned.
"...so, you're the one who's lazy and has an ego?" Minato asked, "Mitsuko gave me short summaries of who you all are. For the Riders, there's their six Goddesses, which are the lazy one with an ego, a ticking time bomb, a work-o-holic, a well shaped gamer, a kid given powers beyond her wildest dreams, and a naive girl with a sadistic alter ego. Their allies are the loyal gamer, the 'Kaito', the work-o-holic's daughter, the rich girl who just wants to play video games and holds no concern for anything fancy, a major otaku, a duo of a brash arrogant girl and a conservative smart guy, and the loyal gamer's sister possessed by some sort of Midnight Spirit, who can turn into a… Sailor Senshi, did Mitsuko call it... and then the Sentai, which are a hot-headed red one, a cool conservative blue one, a child-like green one, a very knowledgeable and wise black one, a brown hard as a rock guy, the stand-off, as cold as ice white one, a golden shining nomad and… uh… who's the little kid there?"
Suddenly, all of the CPU Goddesses, Gaming Riders and Matarangers all gave an annoyed glare at Mitsuko for her short summaries of them.
"What…?" Mitsuko shrugged.
"Konichiwa Tenchi Minato-san… I'm Karin of the Ga-Koro Tribe." Karin smiled, doing a respectful bow.
"So what… she going to be the new "Ga-Blue" after uh… Aqua, was it?" Minato asked.
"Yea, that's me. And as far as I know, no, Karin won't be the next Blue Senshi… it's not exactly easy for a blind person to become a Toa. No offense, Karin," Aqua responded.
"No problem," Karin responded.
"And I am no longer important to this stupid meeting. Good day to all of you fools," Eiji informed, jumping out of his chair and walking off.
"What's his deal?" Hikaru asked Takeshi.
"He's always been a bit of a Kaito as we say," Takeshi answered, as suddenly, a snowball hit Takeshi in the face.
"Stop. Calling. Me. A. Kaito!" Eiji shouted in anger.
"Anger management classes much?" Ven whispered, "Like someone we know?"
Suddenly, Yuki threw a snowball at Ven.
"Heh… you're a pretty cool guy," Eiji smiled.
"...uh… I'm an ice user…" Yuki responded.
"I didn't mean for there to be a pun…" Eiji clarified.
"You better watch what you say then, pal," Yuki smiled, laughing a little bit.
"Did Ah just hear ya laugh?" AJ asked Yuki, making him blush a little bit.
"Ah! Is someone blushing here?" Hikaru gawked.
"Eiji… help me bean this dork with snowballs!" Yuki told him.
"Only if you help me hit Narumi after," Eiji responded.
"Deal."
"You may wanna run… now," Neptune told Takeshi, only to see said Rider was already gone, leaving behind a dust silhouette of himself, when he was suddenly right back there.
"What just happened?" Takeshi wondered.
"No idea," Neptune responded before Takeshi ran off again, soon joined by Hikaru.
Soon, there were two piles of snow just outside the a balcony on Blanc's apartment, the tops shaking off to reveal Hikaru and Takeshi both shivering. Luna walked over and giggled at this, with Takeshi attempting to pick up snow and hide himself in it.
"What, she your girlfriend or something?" Hikaru asked, only to get punched in the gut, "Frosty… why are you so mean? And where's your tophat?"
The snowpile that Takeshi was hidden over began to steam and bubble with heat, comedically causing the snow to melt with Hikaru attempting to jump away.
"Takeshi… there are times you're such a kid," Luna giggled.
"Uh… okay…" he responded, when suddenly, he noticed a magical glow with a snowball around it, the snowball slipping into the hood of the jacket Luna was wearing, "Hey Luna-chan… you look cold… let me put your hood on for you…"
"Oh, really? Well then, perhaps I should…" she started, about to pull the hood up, only to suddenly turn around, somehow yanking the snowball out of her hood, and send it flying at Mitsuko.
"Gah! I can never pull that prank off on anyone, and yet I can always fall for it!" Mitsuko groaned annoyed, pulling up her hood, only for a snowball that was hidden in it to plop onto her hair, "Case in point!"
"Well… regardless of stupid snow pranks, we need to make sure the Matarangers and Minato all have the best Christmas ever!" Luna stated, helping the two who were pelted with snowballs up.
"Merry Christmas Aniki," Roll smiled, now wearing an outfit that was DLC in Megaman Powered Up, which was essentially a female Santa outfit with two fluffy buttons and black gloves along with a giant candy cane and sack.
"Eh… thanks, I guess…" he shrugged, sitting down.
"What's wrong?"
"...just the first time I've really had a family to celebrate it with… after someone killed my family," Eiji informed.
"Oh… r-right… uh… I'm making cookies… would you like any?"
"Sure." He smiled.
Back at Tomodachi Academy, Mitsuko was currently talking with Hana about some plans for Christmas Festivities.
"So… do you think they'd like to set up a tree in their base?" Mitsuko asked.
"Maybe. I heard Hikaru was in a light show contest and won every year… he supposedly used the sun as part of his show (how exactly he did that I'll never know). Anyway, what kind of Christmas lights would they probably like on the outside of their house? Snowflake? Icicle? Multi-colored?"
As they talked however, they accidentally bumped into someone who had white hair along with a blue jacket and purple skirt.
"Well, well, well… if it isn't Pikari Mitsuko," the girl smirked.
"Oh no…" Mitsuko groaned.
"You know her?" Hana asked.
"Yes… this is Yoshihiro Trixie, we used to go to school together, but then I moved here… I never thought she would move too," Mitsuko groaned.
"Well then… this is a good day for you, Ms. Pikari…" Trixie informed, taking out a wad of cash, "I want to join your little Magical Girl team."
"Wait, what?! How do you-"
"I have my ways. Now then… let me join your team," Trixie told Mitsuko.
"Yea, I can't do that," Mitsuko responded.
"Oh, I wasn't requesting, silly girl. I'm demanding," Trixie informed, "And if you don't-"
"Let me stop you right there," Mitsuko started, "First off, my team's already full. Second, if you think you can just buy your way in to get what you want, then you're mistaken."
"You're just a big stupid jerk Pikari-baka!" Trixie shouted.
"Says the selfish girl who claims to have done everything in the world, yet never left beyond her home," Mitsuko rebuttled.
Trixie scoffed in response, "You'll see… I'll become part of your Magical Girl group, even if I die trying!"
"Mitsuko… you sure you used the right choice of words? You may end up on Santa's naughty list if you didn't," Hana said in worry.
"I was only stating the facts. Plus… Santa ain't real," Mitsuko responded.
"Why is it some people don't believe, Hana-chan?" NiGHTS asked.
"No idea."
Mitsuko let out a groan of annoyance, "You want to know why I don't believe? One year, I asked for a stuffed lavender horse, and I never got it."
"Okay…" Hana shrugged.
"So this Santa… lives at the North Pole?" Ignatius asked, Hikaru explaining Christmas stuff to his team.
"Maybe he's secretly a Ko-Matoran who fled for reasons unknown," Ventus joked, only for a snowball to hit him.
"I would've known about that if it were. Even then, a fat man in a red suit going around the world in one night with a sleigh and flying reindeer just to deliver toys to every kid in the world… that's just impossible," Yuki responded.
"The impossible has happened before," Aqua pointed out as she was helping set up the Christmas tree.
"I'll be very surprised if we do meet this Santa fellow," Mason admitted as he strung a bunch of garland throughout the building.
"I find it scientifically impossible for him to visit the entire world over one night. The very idea sounds absurd," Terra added.
"That's something we both can agree on, Terra," Yuki nodded before they heard something.
"What was that?" Ventus asked as they all looked out the window to see what looked like a falling star crash right in the middle of the park.
"I say we should go check it out!" Hikaru stated as they all walked out to go see.
Back with the Guardians, they were in the middle of helping Takeshi and the others with decorating, except Mitsuko & Takeshi as they were in midst of talking Santa's existence.
"So you don't believe in Santa... because you didn't get a plushie?" Takeshi asked, laughing a bit.
"That's not funny," Mitsuko pouted, "...I really wanted that plushie…"
"I've actually been wondering if he really does exist, with all that was said," Takeshi admitted, "I'm still on the fence in terms of that, though."
"Well, believe me when I say that he isn-" Mitsuko started before she was interrupted when they heard a loud boom sound.
"What was that?" Kai gawked.
"It sounds like it came from the park," Luna informed.
"We'd better go and check it out," Neptune stated, getting her Driver, "Ugh… can't a hero ever get a day off?"
"Evil never rests," Takeshi shrugged.
Later, all three hero teams arrived at the park and found, to their surprise, eight reindeer walking around, with a big red sleigh stuck in a tree. They later turned to see a large fat man in a red and white suit, with a matching hat and a long white beard, lying on the ground. They instantly recognized him.
"Santa?!" Kai gawked, with the others just as surprised.
"How can this be?!" Mitsuko gawked.
"This could be a trick of some kind… be careful, okay?" Neptune whispered to the group.
"Oh c'mon! This is the big jolly guy himself," Hikaru scoffed as Mitsuko approached the fat man, rather shakily, who was able to sit down and try to catch his breath.
"Uh… do you know who I am?" Mitsuko asked nervously.
"Why of course I do. Your name is Pikari Larson Mitsuko, born December 3rd, 1996," he informed, with some of the other starting to stifle their laughter.
"Your middle name… is Larson?" Ven chuckled, getting him a glare from Mitsuko.
"Yes… my middle name is Larson…" Mitsuko responded in anger, before turning back to the person, "You're… Santa, aren't you?"
"Yep," Santa nodded, "I assume you're surprised, seeing as you stopped believing in me due to not getting a certain present…"
Mitsuko gained a nervous blush and began to tug at her hair, she proceeded to move back, while Ignatius walked forward.
"So… if you're really Santa Claus… what happened here? What happened to the sleigh?" Ignatius asked, looking to the damaged sleigh.
Santa gave a nervous look, before sighing, "I was attacked when I was taking a practice flight. Thankfully my reindeer are all safe, but the sleigh is a wreck."
Mitsuko looked at the sleigh, seeing that it was wooden, but had some electronics in it, several of the systems heavily damaged from the crash landing.
"Do you know who attacked you?" Takeshi asked.
"...No… not really… all I remember is that she had white hair and a blue jacket…"
"Trixie! Oooh! That no good… little bi-" Mitsuko started, when Momo suddenly gasped.
"Her? Uh oh... maybe telling her was a bad idea…" Momo gulped.
"Tell her what?" everyone but Santa asked.
"Uh… I accidentally told her that… we are… Magical Girls…" Momo informed, making the other Guardians' jaws drop with Mitsuko growling in anger, looking like she was about to burst into flames and attack Momo, when Kai and Takeshi held her back.
Up at the North Pole, Trixie, dressed in a dark blue parka, had managed to sneak on in and was able to find the lists saying what kids were naughty and nice.
"Alright let's see… 'Nice'… Aqua... Ignatius… Mitsuko Pikari… Momo Natsukawa, Takeshi Narumi… Kai Yuuto...'" she muttered, skimming over the list, before double checking the "T"s, seeing she was nowhere on it, "Where's my name?"
She blinked for a moment, before looking over to another list, which was rather small, almost two, three pages, and she gasped upon seeing the first name on the list. She blinked at the category of the list 'N-A-U-G-H-T-Y' and the first name on the list… her's.
"...You've… GOT! TO! BE! KIDDING ME!" she snapped in rage, as she reached for a pencil to re-write the lists, however, when she changed them, they magically turned back to the way they should be.
"There's a way to control all of the magic at the North Pole? Including the lists of who was good and bad?" Mitsuko's voice asked in an echo-y affect.
"Yes. And I'm afraid if Trixie is able to get her hands on it… she would be able to alter the very fabric of Christmas." Santa's voice answered.
"How would she do that?" Neptune asked next.
"The control unit for all of the magic… she'd control the entire North Pole, and can change it to suit whatever she wants…" Santa explained.
"Well… we're going to have to get to the North Pole and stop her!" Sora shouted out.
"Uh… hate to say it but… I went up to the North Pole once, I couldn't find diddly," Hikaru informed.
"That's because only the magic of my sleigh and reindeer can penetrate a barrier meant to hide the secrets of the North Pole… she may have been able to tap into a small portion of my magic… but I think you all can do the same if we can get at least one reindeer…" Santa informed.
"Really? Well… we need to find one!" Neptune shouted out.
"Hey, there's one now!" Sora pointed out, referring to a reindeer who had a scarf around it's neck colored blue and had Dasher printed on it, "Dasher, huh? Well, just seven more to go."
However, Dasher began to run for cover, causing the others to give chase. They tried for almost two hours to catch that one reindeer, trying everything from trying to jump it, cornering it, heck, even setting up a friendly trap, but nothing worked.
"How. The heck… do you keep those things so… controlled?" Sora asked, almost out of energy.
"Mostly some Christmas goodies," Santa informed, as Hinata walked over with Dasher, both nibbling on some chocolate covered marshmallows.
"...That's it? ...Just… give them a few pieces of Christmas candy and they're like obedient puppy dogs?" Mitsuko asked.
"I wouldn't say that…" Hinata started, before Sora walked over and just motioned for her to zip it.
"We don't have time… we have to get this bub hooked up to something so we can get to the North Pole!" Sora informed, as they looked to the totaled sleigh.
"We spent two hours chasing down that one reindeer… I don't think we can fix that in time!" Takeshi realized, when Ignatius snapped his fingers with a thought in mind.
Later, we see the MataMachines in the middle of the park, with Sora and Mason hooking them all up with special wires that were candy canned colored before connecting them between the Ta-RyuPlane's control to Dasher's antlers.
"These things must be as heavy as dump trucks… you sure Dasher can pull them?" Mitsuko asked.
"Oh no, no no. The reindeer don't pull the sleigh per say, they more guide it, magic is able to pull it on it's own," Santa explained.
"That's pretty cool," Takeshi commented, when he noticed that Neptune was gone, "Boss? Uh… Boss?"
"Over here," Neptune's voice shouted out, as she pushed Darren and Natsuki aboard the Ta-RyuPlane.
"What are you doing?" Takeshi asked.
"Just bringing the rest of your back-up for the trip. Noire-tachi, Hana, and I will stay here in case any villains show up." Neptune explained, before she tossed him the Game Gear that Nepgear was in, "Eiji and Luna both have theirs. Good luck up there, you goof."
She quickly gave Takeshi a hug, before she headed out, all of the heroes boarding the various mechs.
Sora and Natsuki started, the former helping the nervous Hinata up to the Onu-KoumoriDrill, which looked like it cracked a smile when it saw the girl boarding it, the three looked around in awe at the mech, but Hinata also looked rather nervous. Then, she saw Terra leading the three in, and she blushed a bit.
"...G-Good to see you again, Terra-san," Hinata smiled, before she looked a bit shaky.
"Same here, Hinata-san. You okay there?" Terra responded, seeing her shakiness.
"Oh… it's just been a while…" Hinata responded, before Terra slipped his hand into her's and helped her in, Natsuki noticing this and pulling Sora aside.
"Hey… do those two have a thing?" Natsuki asked.
"Well… no, not that I'm aware of." Sora responded, as the Ta-RyuPlane started to charge up thanks to Dasher and the other mecha charged up thanks to the wires that were attached to the other MataMachines.
With the energy charged, the seven mechs actually all took flight and headed for the North Pole.
It wasn't long before the heroes reached the workshop, but instead of a cheery environment, they instead came across that was pitch black and a blizzard of sorts was formed in the center.
"Whoa! What happened here?" Mitsuko wondered.
"We're too late… she got control of the North Pole Magic…" Santa realized.
"We'd better get in there quick and get control of it back." Yuki informed, when suddenly, snowball blasts came flying at the Ta-RyuPlane, causing it to roar.
"We're getting hit!" Ignatius shouted, as the Ko-PonyTank was able to counterfire by using an ice breath to block the cannon and they were able to land safely.
"Talk about fighting fire with fire, or rather ice with ice," Ven joked, with Yuki about to throw a snowball at him, but just figured it wasn't worth it.
-Welcome Magical Girls! And… Sentai and… others… to my North Pole! As of now, you all are now nothing compared to the Great and Powerful TRIXIE~! Now that I have control of the North Pole's Magic, I can do anything I want! Including make myself the only nice child on the entire planet~!- Trixie monologued, before letting out a villainous laugh.
"I've had enough of her…" Mitsuko growled.
"Be careful about that anger Mitsuko…" Minato told her friend.
"I know… but still… let's take her down Guardians," Mitsuko informed, when Takeshi and Ignatius walked on over.
"You're not taking her down…" Takeshi started.
"At least, not without us," Ignatius added.
"...Correction, Let's take her down Guardians, Matarangers, and Riders," Mitsuko corrected herself, as the three teams of seven all walked out.
Once the heroes walked out of the mecha, they witnessed the door to the former workshop slam open, revealing Trixie wearing a Guardian's outfit that was mostly black, red, and her signature shade of blue.
"Well well… if it isn't the losers who denied me to be your ally. Tell you what… if you allow me into your group, call me your leader, and allow me into your school, proclaiming how amazing I truly am, I will put you seven back onto the Nice List and allow you to have a good Christmas. What do you say?" Trixie offered, when a snowball came flying at her, being tossed by Yuki.
"Not on yer life!" AJ responded.
"Absolutely not!" Kisho added.
"You don't have the right to push us around!" Hinata shouted, surprising Terra and Takeshi.
"There ain't nobody more awesome than me!" Sora retaliated.
"What Sora said, times infinity!" Momo shouted out.
"I don't know much about you, but the answer is no," Minato added.
"You don't embody anything the title of being a Guardian… nay… being a Magical Girl even means! You'll never be a Magical Girl, let alone the leader of such a team!" Mitsuo snapped, readying her Element of Harmony.
"None of YOU are worthy of the title! As such, only the Great and Powerful TRIXIE~ will steal your silly little gemstones, and be the ONLY MAGICAL GIRL IN THE WORLD!" Trixie responded.
"You've got a huge ego there!" Aqua shouted.
"What she said," Yuki muttered.
"You're just a selfish spoiled brat! Hinata-san-tachi are indeed worthy of the title of Guardians and Magical Girls!" Terra shouted.
"Well, now that I think of it, having an ego as yours stay intact would be the best. Your ego is like a star, young Trixie. If it dies it'll collapse and create a black hole that'll suck everything into it! Including people's happiness," Ven pointed out.
"...What's that mean? You saying I'm as powerful as gravity?" Trixie questioned.
"Yes! Except you're the type of gravity that holds everybody down," Ven responded, finishing a joke, apparently.
"...You think that's an addition to your list of funny jokes? Bro, that just sucked," Ignatius pointed out.
"I thought it was funny," Momo giggled.
"Oh shut your traps! You there! I know some of you from school, tell these ding-a-lings that I'm better then all of them as heroes, and tell these… dunderheads with stupid clothes to take a hike!" Trixie shouted to the Gaming Riders.
"You seriously insult our friends like that? Insult Momo like that? No way!" Kai shouted.
"No wonder you're on the naughty list, because you're such a selfish, spoiled, uncaring BRAT!" Luna snapped.
"With that kind of attitude, you're no Magical Girl. Heck, you're not even worthy of calling yourself 'great and powerful' or a hero of our world!" Takeshi finished up, as he and Ignatius walked over to Mitsuko, the indigo haired girl slightly tearing up.
"Min'na… thank you…" Mitsuko smiled, readying her Element of Harmony, "Min'na, henshin da!"
"Yea," they all nodded, readying their henshin items.
=KANOHI HAU! SHIELDS UP!=

=KANOHI KAKAMA! ACCELERATION!=
=KANOHI PAKARI! OVERPOWER!=
=KANOHI AKAKU! SEE BEYOND THE LIMITS!=
=KANOHI AVOHKII! LIGHT EM UP!=
"Toa/Tomodachi Transform/Henshin!" all the heroes declared, as a light similar to the Aurora Borealis flashed behind them, and it condensed into an energy explosion of sorts, sending snow and small stars twinkling as the roll call began.
=GAME START!=
"MataRed!"
"MataBlue!"
"MataGreen!"
"MataBrown!"
"MataBlack!"
"MataWhite!"
"Maaaata...GOLD!"
"Unmei no toitsu gimu!"
"Toa Sentai…"
"Mataranger!"
"The Guardian of Magic, Pikari Mitsuko!"
"The Guardian of Laughter, Natsukawa Momo!"
"The Guardian of Generosity, Fukui Kisho!"
"The Guardian of Kindness, Koharu Hinata!"
"The Guardian of Honesty, Akiyama AJ!"
"The Guardian of Loyalty, Hayabusa Sora!"
"The Guardian of Humility, Tenchi Minato!"
"Atashi-tachi wa… The Guardians of Eclipsia!"
"Kamen Rider SEGA! It's Time for Game Start!"
"Kamen Rider Nintendo! It's Time to Start Playing with Power!"
"Kamen Rider Playstation! Beyond the Boundaries of Play… Let's Fight!"
"Kamen Rider Xbox! Let's Break the Limits… All for One!"
"Kamen Rider Turbo16/PCEngine! Peashy PC Riders GO!"
"Kamen Rider Steam! Steam Time da! CHARGE UP!"
"Gaming Riders Unite!"
The three leaders all exchanged a look, before doing a sort of 'all-in' fist bump. "We Are…"
"SUPER HEROES!" all of the heroes announced out as they each posed while a big multicolored explosion occurred behind them.
"Wow… that was really cool…" Minato gawked.
"Much larger than last time, too," PCEngine noted.
"Man, it feels good to be a part of this big roll call!" Steam smiled.
"Sure does," MataGold admitted.
Trixie growled in anger at this before she charged up some magic and shot it at the heroes, however, all of them were able to dodge with ease, splitting up into teams. The first team to attack was Kisho, Playstation and MataBlue, the Guardian and Mataranger using a combination of their elemental attacks while Playstation charged them with energy via strong kicks, however, Trixie blocked them all before sending the trio aside.
Next to strike was MataBlack, Hinata, and PCEngine, the Toa of Earth clawing up from under Trixie to get the element of surprise, when PCEngine struck from behind, allowing Hinata to deliver a powerful kick. While this did catch Trixie off guard, she managed to recover quickly and was able to use a powerful wind to knock them back.
The next trio up was that of MataGreen, Momo, and Xbox, with MataGreen acting like a glider/kite for Xbox, while Momo skated around, managing to kick Trixie up to MataGreen, who whacked at her, while Xbox fired at Trixie from below, as MataBrown, Sora and Nintendo charged forward at super fast speeds, rapidly punching/kicking Trixie. However, the crazy girl managed to counter the assaults, but after Trixie was knocked into the air, Nintendo quickly summoned the Monado and struck her down to the ground with the Monado Buster maneuver.
"Let's get er!" AJ shouted as she charged forward with MataWhite and Turbo16, the trio leaping right in and sending powerful kicks, Turbo16 whipping up some snow with some kick, allowing AJ to heat them up with her powers, causing the water to cover Trixie, which MataWhite managed to freeze, and trap all but the girl's head.
"So… you're the seventh Guardian, huh?" MataGold smiled at Minato.
"Triple seven! We hit the Jackpot!" Steam shouted in joke, causing Minato to give a very confused look.
"Uh… jackshot?" Minato asked, causing Steam to facefault and MataGold to facepalm.
"You get used to it," MataGold assured when Trixie managed to send out a magic blast to free herself from the ice, causing the 7th warriors to evade, with MataGold and Minato causing a huge burst and flash of light to blind Trixie for a moment, when Steam got an idea before he changed into Portal form, and managed to warp behind Trixie, as he looked to the SteamApplet, seeing an icon wrapped up like a present. He clicked it, and saw something sort of like Minecraft on it.
"Thanks Peashy-chan!" he smirked, as he clicked it.
=DOWNLOAD! 8-BIT FORM!=
And with that, Kai's armor was a bit more bulky, with a noticeable black outline with a sort of bluish green tone with a cut that made it look like blocky diamonds, and in his hand was a rather blocky looking sword that was cyan and had a diamond like hilt.
"Hey Minato, Hikaru, send some of your light energy over to the sword. I got an idea!" Steam shouted. The two light-users nodded and sent energy into the blade.
"Take this attack now, you little Magical Girl-wannabe! Hikari… ZANKOU!~ (Light AFTERSHOCK!~)" Steam shouted out as he rushed over to Trixie before slashing right through her, damaging the ice that surrounded her.
"You're all just fools for defying the Great and Powerful Trixie and-" she began, when Mitsuko, SEGA and MataRed walked over, all three holding a tight grip on their blades.
"Oh shut up!" all three of them shouted as they charged forward before slashing at her, first being MataRed as his blade ignited Trixie's suit before Mitsuko attacked and it unleashed a fury of magical energy, and finally SEGA rushed in, slashing rapidly like ShinkenGold would, however, before they could deliver a finishing blow, Trixie managed to use a powerful magical blast which hit all of the Gaming Riders and Matarangers, holding them back and sending them into the snow surrounding them.
"You cannot possibly defeat me! Now then Mitsuko… and your group, if you want your friends to stay alive… you'll do what I tell you to…" Trixie shouted at them, creating fiery magical swords and holding them up to the other hero teams.
Mitsuko just looked between her teammates and her fellow heroes before she gave an annoyed glare at Trixie.
"Bow before Trixie and say she is your superior… and maybe I'll let these Riders and Sentai go…" Trixie demanded.
"Don't do it Mitsuko!" Sora shouted as Mitsuko sighed, before she got on her knees, much to the shock of her team.
"...You are…" Mitsuko started, everyone gasping.
"Stop, don't!" Kisho shouted, as she and Momo attempted to help the Gaming Riders and Matarangers, only to not be able to get close to them.
"Yes, go on. Tell Trixie what she is," Trixie coaxed, getting a malicious grin and smirk on her face.
"Mitsuko stop!" Hinata and Minato shouted as Sora and AJ tried to get over to Mitsuko, but something held them back.
"Go on…" Trixie continued.
(Insert Theme: Time to Say Goodbye)
"...out of your mind!" Mitsuko finished, kicking the two blades out of Trixie's hands, causing the magical fire to move away from the Matarangers and Gaming Riders before she rapidly kicked Trixie, the other Guardians charging forward to aid their leader.
"You had us going for a minute there," Sora giggled.
"Did you all seriously think I'd surrender to a jerk like her that easily?" Mitsuko asked, "C'mon, I'm too smart to trust someone like her with a deal like that!"
"Y'know… I think what just happened is kinda familiar… but I'm imagining green and gold for whatever reason," Momo admitted as she ran backwards to say that, before she shrugged it off and rejoined her team. She lead the attack by freezing Trixie's legs, while Kisho used her stone powers to bind together Trixie's arms.
Then, AJ and Minato pulled a combo attack via Minato's light powers increasing the heat in AJ's fire and they managed to surround Trixie via a ring of fire, causing Trixie to gasp for a moment
This was then followed by Hinata summoning gusts of wind to create a fire vortex to make sure Trixie couldn't escape from above, before Sora flew in and zapped her repeatedly with lightning bolts, with the fire dissipating.
Mitsuko approached, holding on tight to the Magic's Edge before holding the blade up to Trixie, when the wings that Mitsuko used as a power-up of sorts appeared on her.
"Ready to give up?" Mitsuko asked.
"Never!" Trixie scoffed, using her magic to toss the sword away, "Ha! Now you don't have anything to attack the Great and Powerful Trixie with!"
However, Mitsuko just smirked before the others knew what to do next.
"What's going on?" Minato asked.
"Just send your Element's power into Mitsuko's," Hinata informed.
"Oh right! I remember this attack, I used it all the time!" Minato recalled.
"So much for my idea being original…" Momo muttered.
"Not like it was original in the first place itoko-chan," AJ giggled as they all sent their power into the Element of Magic, which began to spin at a faster speed than it normally would, now having all seven colors of the Elements, and it fully looked like the Element of Magic's shape, now with the symbols of the other six Elements attached onto it.
"Mahou… Tiara… SHOT!" Mitsuko shouted, flinging her tiara at Trixie, whose jaw dropped before she braced for impact, the attack not killing her or causing any physical harm, but it broke off part of her magical girl outfit like a baseball going through glass, and what parts seemed damaged showed her normal outfit under it, "Give up now?"
(End Insert Theme)
"The Great… and Powerful Trixie… always has a back-up plan!" Trixie shouted out, before taking out… a Sengoku Driver?!
"You gotta be kidding me…" Mitsuko groaned.
"Uh… what's that?" Minato asked.
"A Sengoku Driver?!" Momo and Hinata gawked.
"Like I said… the Great and Powerful TR~IXIE always has a back-up plan!" Trixie shouted, putting the belt on, a silver buckle wrapping around her waist as the indicator became a blue and silver background with a sort of had splashes and vines of sorts, with the helmet profile showing off a sort of crescent moon design and the helmet itself was that of a European knight. She proceeded to take out a Lockseed, the lock having a blue apple on it, and the back part that was normally a gray color was a silver color, and the code read 'XLS-SAPPHIRE'.
"Henshin…" She announced.
=SAPPHIRE!=
"You… think some kind of toy is going to scare us?" Mitsuko said shakily, when suddenly, a zipper appeared above Trixie revealing some sort of apple. She then set the Lockseed into the Driver and smirked with an evil smile.
=LOCK ON!=
=COME ON! SAPPHIRE ARMS! HERO OF THE EARTH!=
When the apple landed on her head, it formed a white, blue and silver bodysuit, and when the armor unfolded, forming apple slice-like spiked armor on her shoulders and chest, her helmet looking like a medieval knight with a crescent moon crest on her forehead, and in her hand was what looked like a rifle that had an apple leaf forming a scope, the core being the barrel, and the rest looking like a few large apple slices.
"Uh oh… we haven't ever fought something like this before…" Minato gulped.
"Well… you haven't, and then five out of the original six of us haven't. Mitzy-chan has though," Momo pointed out, when Mitsuko threw a snowball at Momo, "And shutting up,"
"You cannot defeat the Great and Powerful Kamen Rider MERCURY! Your pathetic Magical Girl powers are useless now!" Trixie, or rather, Mercury shouted out, slicing her Lockseed once.
=COME ON! SAPPHIRE SQUASH!=
And with that, she aimed her rifle at Mitsuko before the barrel gained a light pink glow of sorts, before it fired with tremendous force, sending Mitsuko, and in turn the other Guardians, flying backwards before hitting the ground, all surprisingly still in Guardian forms.
"Mitsuko-tachi!" SEGA gasped, as he and the rest of the Gaming Riders finally managed to gather the strength to stand-up.
"Momo-chan!" Steam shouted in worry, as MataRed, Black and Blue were able to get back up.
"We'll make sure they're alright, think you can keep this dummy stalled for a little while?" MataRed asked.
"No prob," SEGA smirked, "It's Time for Game Start!"
"It's Time to Start Playing with Power!"
"Beyond the Boundaries of Play… Let's Fight!"
"Let's Break the Limits… All for One!"
"Peashy PC Riders GO!"
"Steam Time da! CHARGE UP!"
"...You all know that those catchphrases sound incredibly stupid…" Mercury informed.
"Says the one with an egotistical catchphrase…" Steam responded, "I mean 'The Great and Powerful TRIXIE/KR MERCURY' doesn't exactly shout 'humble.'"
"...I'll admit… I'm not sure what I think about ours Darren-kun…" PCEngine admitted.
"Look, I don't care for it either, but it was the boss' idea, and I just learned to go with it," Turbo16 replied.
=ROUND 1! FIGHT!=
(Insert Theme: Dimension Tripper)
The seven Riders rushed forward, Mercury more than ready to counter, but the Gaming Riders were able to quickly get around her and strike quickly.
"Min'na, looks like she can't move very fast, but can tank our hits," PCEngine informed.
"So… slow like an iceberg?" Steam responded.
"Guess you could say that," PCEngine shrugged.
"Well then, why don't we hit her very hard!" Nintendo smirked.
=ACTIVE! 8-PLAYER SMASH!=
"Now this is gonna rock," PCEngine smirked, as Nintendo summoned forth various swords and sent them flying forward, actually managing to hold Mercury back a bit.
"Narumi, hit her hard, and hit her fast!" Nintendo shouted.
"Gotcha! Kai, Final Form Ride!" SEGA shouted, setting up his wireless adapter with Steam.
"You got it!" Steam nodded before he readied himself, activating his Sonic 4: Episode II app.
=SONIC 4 UPLINK ACTIVE! CONNECTING TO SECOND PLAYER!=
With SEGA's wireless adapter set up, the drivers were soon connected.
"Digital Connection!" SEGA and Steam shouted together, as both drivers glowed a faint yellow color.
=CONNECTION ESTABLISHED! FUSION! STEAM FORM!=
With that, both Riders transformed, Steam forming claws over SEGA's hands as SEGA gained armor based off Steam's.
"Uh… have we used this more than once?" Steam asked.
"Don't know…" is all SEGA could respond before he prepared himself and charged at Mercury, preventing her from using her rifle, while he struck quickly, Nintendo grabbed the Monado and changed it to Monado Speed, grabbing Playstation and Xbox, Playstation now in her Key Form and Xbox having the Saberwulf Claws.
"Oi Kaito, what are you doing?" Xbox asked.
"Vortex dropper! It's a move Nanami-sempai and Justin-sempai taught me recently!" Nintendo shouted, as he let the two girls go up to the top of the vortex he was forming and let them drop down and slash Mercury from above.
"Hmph!" Mercury scoffed, slicing her Lockseed thrice.
=COME ON! SAPPHIRE SPARKING!=
She was able to fold up her Armor Part, before spinning it around to send Playstation and Xbox flying right into Nintendo, PCEngine and Turbo16.
"Min'na!" SEGA and Steam shouted out, when suddenly...
=COME ON! SAPPHIRE AU LAIT!=
"Don't think I forgot you two," she scoffed before blasting them, however, while SEGA was able to hold his ground, Steam was sent flying away.
=CONNECTION DISRUPTED!=
SEGA gave an annoyed look, before he summoned forth the Sonic Blade and he slashed the blasts from the Ringfle away.
"Who said you can bring a sword to a gunfight?" Mercury demanded.
"Heh… opposite of Souji and Daigo's fight in Kyoryuger," PCEngine joked.
"What?" Turbo16 gawked as SEGA managed to knock the rifle out of Mercury's hands.
"To answer your question, I'm changing the rules of our little game here!" SEGA shouted out, when suddenly a sword strike came from out of nowhere, which Playstation gasped at, seeing Mercury now holding a Musou Saber.
"OI! How'd you get that! You didn't have a place to hold that Saber!" Playstation snapped, Mercury holding the Musou Saber to SEGA's Sonic Blade.
"Don't know… just appeared…" Mercury admitted.
"LIke with Jam…" Steam joked, with Nintendo giving him a hard smack to the back of the head.
=Luna-san, Eiji-san, aren't you going to help him?= Uni asked, as SEGA was getting overpowered for a moment.
As the two clashed blades for a moment, SEGA soon managed to move Mercury's Musou Saber away long enough for him to send a power slash down onto the apple Rider.
"IMA DA!" Playstation shouted, as she and Nintendo charged forward, but while they charged, Mercury used some sort of magic to retrieve both of her weapons.
"Seriously? How can she still use her mag-" Eiji asked before being interrupted by SEGA.
"Don't ask questions Eiji. Let's go for broke!" SEGA announced.
"Time for Round 2!" the three shouted, hooking up their handhelds.
=GAME GEAR/PS VITA/3DS SET! ARE YOU READY?=
=ACTIVATING WI-FI FORM! HERE WE GO!=
With that, the trio transformed into their Wi-Fi forms.
"Looks like it's REALLY Time for Game Start!"
"Now we'll truly Start Playing with Power!"
"There shall be no boundaries, even still... we will go even further Beyond the Boundaries of Play… Let's Fight!"
"...How many times do you have to repeat those stupid lines?" Mercury responded.
=GO FOR BROKE! ROUND 2! FIGHT!=
The three Riders charged forward, with Xbox simply sitting down and pouting.
"What's wrong Saki?" Steam asked.
"It's not fair how I don't get a Wi-Fi Form! I wanna lengthen my already cool catchphrase!" Xbox complained.
"Sorry about that Saki…" Steam apologized, "Hey, think of it this way. Perhaps Peashy was meant to be Green Sister, but due to Arfoire messing with her, and now your Wi-Fi Form is me in a style akin to a Final Form Ride."
Xbox giggled at this for a bit, before smiling, "You know… if you weren't with Momo, and I didn't like someone else, maybe we would be a cute pair…"
"OI! STOP FOCUSING ON THOSE GOOFS AND GET BACK TO THE ACTION!" Nintendo's voice shouted as the attention turned back to the fight.
"...who were you just shouting at?" SEGA asked.
"I… don't know…" Nintendo admitted, before he continued his attack.
"Wonder if we were always meant to be a trio," Playstation wondered, "It sorta feels natural for it to just be us three… and sides, it's not like Saki gets any of the same cool stuff we get anyway,"
Suddenly, Playstation was hit in the side of her helmet by a snowball.
"Not cool Luna!" Xbox shouted.
"Bad time, Saki! We have a battle to focus on!" Playstation responded, firing her cannon at Mercury, actually causing some damage to the Ringfle.
=THAT'S IT! Show that puny rifle of her's who's the big gun around here!= Uni shouted.
"'Who's the big gun aro-'" Playstation repeated to herself, before facepalming.
=Pun not intentional.=
"Be sure to say it next time, Aunt Uni-chan!" Playstation shouted before firing back at Nintendo swung his staff.
=GO, EIJI! GO!= Ram cheered.
=...yay…= Rom added.
=Nee-chan… you call that a cheer? Louder.=
=...yay.=
=Louder.=
=yay.=
=LOUDER!=
Rom took a deep breath but…
=Yay…=
Ram just groaned in annoyance at this.
=Too loud?=
"Bad time to be bickering, girls!" Nintendo pointed out, quickly converting the staff into tonfa mode, easily holding Mercury back.
=Takeshi-san, ikuzo! Ikuzo! IKUZO~!= Nepgear cheered out, as SEGA slashed at Mercury managing to get the most hits off her, and yet, Mercury managed to hold off one slash.
"HA!" Mercury scoffed before getting shot in the gut by the gunblade, "The Great and Powerful Mercury did not see that coming…"
"No one does," SEGA chuckled, before he saw Steam, Turbo-16 and PCEngine all line up, as if getting ready to do a combo attack, "Go ahead."
"Thanks!" Steam shouted, as PCEngine and Turbo16 inserted a code, which caused a special noise to come from their Drivers.
=TURBO16 AND PCENGINE CONNECTED TO STEAM! PEASHY RIDER HISSATSU DOWNLOADING!=
"Rider~..." they started with an aerial flip into the air, making Mercury gawk before… "TRIPLE KICK!"
=HISSATSU LOADING COMPLETE! TURBO16, PCENGINE AND STEAM HISSATSU UNLEASHED!=
The three all had one energy spiral around them before Mercury was knocked back a bit, both of her weapons destroyed.
=INTERNET CONNECTION ESTABLISHED! IT'S TIME FOR GAME START!=
=INTERNET CONNECTION ESTABLISHED! IT'S TIME FOR A POWER PLAY!=
=INTERNET CONNECTION ESTABLISHED! IT'S TIME TO BREAK THE BOUNDARIES!=
And with that, the three Wi-Fi Riders aimed their weapons at Mercury before they sent a wave of energy flying at her, which caused her Driver to go flying off and for her to drop out of Mercury form.
(End Insert Theme)
"Aw… I didn't get to do anything!" Xbox whined and complained.
"Uh… if it makes you feel better Saki-chan, you can destroy her Driver," Nintendo responded.
"Thank you Eiji-kun," Xbox giggled, as she stomped on the Sengoku Driver, destroying it.
"Did he just call her 'Saki-chan'?" SEGA gawked as he, Nintendo and Playstation dropped their Wi-Fi Forms.
"Oh guys look, the Tin Man does have a heart after all," Steam joked.
"...Was that necessary, Kai?" SEGA sighed, with Steam blinking.
"Oh man… Momo's insensitivity is rubbing off on me…" Steam muttered, when a snowball hit him.
"I heard that!" Momo shouted.
"...Grrr! Time for Plan C," Trixie groaned before she pressed a button on a remote, causing the fortress' doors to open up, and she rushed in quickly before a horse mech was wheeled out of the fortress, the mecha looking like a unicorn in Trixie's shade of blue with some white accents and with a mane that appeared to be white.
"Oh… so you've got a pony. Well two can play the pony game!" MataWhite shouted, as he ran back for his mech, quickly piloting the Ko-PonyTank so it could attack Trixie's mech, and it was fairly evened for a bit, before the Ko-PonyTank was able to create a small blizzard to blind the unicorn mech.
"Ha! That's real pony power! ...I can't believe I just said that…" MataWhite groaned.
Trixe growled before she hopped into the mech's pilot seat, "If you want something done right…"
(Insert Theme: Hero)
"...you have to do it yourself," she muttered as she pressed a series of buttons before the unicorn stood up on its hind legs, the mane and tail turned into wings, and the head split open to reveal parts of a humanoid form along with a humanoid head, "Conqueress-Oh, complete!"
"She's not the only one who can play the mecha game!" MataRed shouted as the Matarangers quickly headed for their mechs.
"Toa Gattai/Hikari Henkei!"
With that, the mecha quickly combined, the main six forming the two Toa Kaita-Oh and the Av-GoriRessha forming Avoka-Oh.
"Kansei! Toa Kaita-Oh! Akamai/Wairuha!"
"Kansei! Avoka-Oh!"
The three mechs all stood ready before charging in at Trixie's mech. The Toa were getting the upperhand thanks to the numbers being on their side.
"There is no way the Great and Powerful Trixie will lose to a bunch of freaks who think they can stop her. The Great and Powerful Trixie will siphon a bit more energy from the North Pole!" Trixie chuckled, before the took out a snowglobe with Santa's workshop in it, and begun to turn a small dial on the bottom.
Back with the others, they managed to find the other seven reindeer however, all of them were looking really sick.
"Hey… are you okay?" Karin asked, going over to Comet.
"Oh… hello…" Comet tried to smile only to start coughing.
"Okay, I get they can talk because of the magic, but why are they suddenly getting sick?" Hana asked.
"That's just it… we're.. *cough* lacking the North Pole Magic… someone's been stealing it for their own means… and if it's not restored soon *cough cough hack* we may not make it…" Comet informed.
"Uh oh," Neptune gulped.
"We have to find a way to get Takeshi and the others this info…" Vert added.
Quickly, Hikaru combined Avoka-Oh with Wairuha, trying to brighten the area, however, when he combined with Wairuha, Trixie turned her attention to Akamai and it was her main focus.
"Hang on! Hikari Gattai!" Gold shouted, as he headed for Akamai. However, after he combined with Akamai, Trixie simply turned her attention over to Wairuha.
"Okay, if she's gonna go pull THAT on us, we'd best decrease our numbers. Chou Toa Gattai!" MataRed declared as Akamai and Wairuha combined once more.
"Kansei, Toa Nui-Oh!"
(End Insert Theme)
"Brothers, Sister, I'm on my way! Chou Hikari Ga-" Gold announced, when his mech was struck down to the ground by a powerful energy lazer, turning back into it's solo mech mode.
"Hikaru!" MataBlue shouted.
"Let's just try the finisher! IKUZE!" MataRed shouted as Toa Nui-Oh started as it summoned its sword, but they were struck by a powerful punch, spilling them all apart back to the individual mechs.
"Ignatius!" Mitsuko and SEGA gasped.
"Terra-kun!" Hinata shouted in worry.
"Yuki-san!" AJ shouted.
"You're all done for!" Trixie shouted, before laughing maliciously.
-Onee-chan~! Onee-chan, can you hear me?- Karin's voice came from the communicator on Ga-SameMarine.
"Karin? What's going on?" MataBlue asked.
-What's happening up there? Is something draining the magic?-
"Yea. Someone is…"
-Oh… well… Comet said that there's a control Snowglobe. And it's tied to everything that lives there… and the place itself. The more that it's tapped into for greediness, the more energy it'll steal from the land… and what lives there… like Comet said… it could cease to exist if you don't do something soon!- Karin shouted.
"Oh great! Just what we needed! Minna!" MataBlue shouted, "So basically, if the person stealing the power from the snowglobe keeps this up, they'll destroy the North Pole and kill all the life that lives here!"
"Does that include…" MataRed blinked, as they looked to see Santa was also a bit under the weather, "Oh no…"
Minato looked to the Avi-GoriRessha, before she knew what to do and ran for it.
"Minato, where are you going?" Steam asked.
"They're getting smeared! If we don't do something now…" Minato started before she ran forward, with Steam joining her.
"Things are gonna get crazy around the world, so let's hurry," Steam added, as they boarded the Av-GoriRessha.
"Takeshi, you're with me. We're helping Ignatius. AJ, you and Darren go help Yuki. Hinata, you join Terra along with Natsuki. Momo, you and Saki are with Ven. Sora, you and Eiji go and help Mason. And Kisho, you're helping Aqua with Luna!" Mitsuko instructed as everyone headed for a different mech.
The Toa all looked on with looks of surprise to the fact the Guardians and Gaming Riders were there, all boarding their mechs and helping them out.
"Mitsuko… Takeshi…" MataRed gawked.
"That's what friends are for," SEGA smiled, when suddenly, in all seven mechs, two more seats appeared, one with a symbol matching the Gaming Rider in it, and one matching the Guardian that was in it.
"This is new," Blue admitted as the Riders and Guardians joined them, and they all smiled, knowing that whatever came next, they were in it together.
"Chou Hikari Gattai!" The Toa shouted, as the seven mechs combined, when suddenly, a glow came from the seven Guardians and another glow came from the seven Gaming Riders. Once Chou Toa Nui-Oh was formed, the glows became brighter and brighter, forming a sword similar to Magic's Edge and a shield similar to the Sonic Adventure disk that Takeshi used.
"Woah… what just happened?" Mitsuko gawked.
"Our bonds… they must've done something to their mech…" SEGA realized.
"Heh… guess it's not Chou Toa Nui-Oh anymore…" MataRed noted.
"Yea," Mitsuko and SEGA nodded, as the three all thought up a new name.
"How about… uh… Magi Toa Nui-Oh?" Mitsuko suggested.
"How does Gaming Toa Nui-Oh sound?" SEGA offered, when it hit MataRed.
"Kansei! Magi-Gaming Toa Nui-Oh!" MataRed shouted out, the mecha posing with the symbol for the Matarangers shining behind them as well as the images of the Elements of Harmony and the symbols of the Gaming Riders shining within that symbol, and it glew very brightly. In fact, so bright, that everyone in the world could see a shimmer of the mech.
"It's Takeshi and the others!" Hana gawked.
"Suge…" the Goddesses all smiled.
But for Karin, something wonderful happened while she looked at the light, her eyes were starting to mend just a little, when she moved her hand over her eyes she noticed something… her hand.
"What is going on? How can you be able to do that? No matter, the Great and Powerful Trixie's mecha will outshine yours any day!" Trixie shouted.
"Not happening!" Mitsuko responded, slashing Trixie's mecha.
This went on for a bit before Trixie's mecha tried to slash, only for the Mataranger mecha to block the blows with the disc shield.
"This is awesome!" MataGreen shouted out.
"Let's do this everyday!" Xbox shouted out next.
"For Christmas… and for every good child in the world…" Mitsuko began.
"Who has worked hard to get the gifts they have earned…" SEGA added.
"We will save Christmas!" MataRed shouted as the sword, shield, and mecha itself glowed brighter.
"Magi-Gaming Toa-Nui-Oh! Magical Gaming Mata Slash!" everyone shouted before the symbols of the Matarangers, the Gaming Riders and Guardians appeared on the sword, and it slashed Trixie's mech in half, destroying it. Trixie was sent flying away, becoming a mere 'ping' in the sky, when the heroes saw the snowglobe falling to the ground.
"Grab it! It's the source of the magic!" MataBlue shouted.
Some of the heroes popped out of the mecha and rushed over before Mitsuko grabbed the snowglobe.
"Alrighty magical item, let's start fixing this!" Mitsuko announced… however, nothing happened, "Uh… fix the mess… oh no… are we to late?"
"No young Mitsuko… you forgot to turn the dial…" Santa informed.
"Oh," Mitsuko giggled sheepishly, flipping the snowglobe over before turning the dial, and she let it go, the tune of Jingle Bells began to play. As she held it, all of the damage Trixie had caused to the North Pole began to mend, the fortress reverting back into Santa's home and workshop, all of the reindeer regained their health and the magic was soon returned to the globe, "Santa… there's ten hours until Christmas Day… do you think you can make it?"
"Unfortunately… not without all of my reindeer…" he sighed, as all of the heroes let out a sigh, when Mitsuko noticed some Christmas magic still flowing in Chou Toa Nui-Oh.
"...Say… Santa? What if we made the deliveries tonight?" Mitsuko suggested.
"Really Mitsuko?" Santa gawked.
"She's got a point. We've protected Christmas for a while now today, so I don't see why we can't help you out however we can," SEGA added.
Soon, Chou Toa Nui-Oh had a sack in it, with Mitsuko looking at it with some concern.
"Uh… that's kinda small… isn't it?" Mitsuko asked.
"It may look small, but it has presents for everyone in the entire world," Santa smiled.
"Alright, hey Santa… hope you can recover from this mess caused by Trixie…" Takeshi added, a little unsure that they would internally recover.
"Don't worry about us Takeshi. All of you… good luck out there," Santa bid.
A bit later, onboard the mecha, Mitsuko looked to the core six Matarangers and Minato.
"Hey… Ignatius-tachi… Minato-sempai… I'm really sorry…" Mitsuko apologized.
"What for?" Ignatius asked.
"I wanted to give you all the best Christmas ever but… this mess happened and that plan didn't work…" Mitsuko sighed.
"It's okay, Mitsuko," Ig smiled, "Being a hero's a full-time job, so I honestly didn't expect we'd get that time off anyway,"
"But I-" Mitsuko started.
"Don't argue with him, Mitsuko. It's true. But besides that, you managed to save Christmas… I don't think that's something many people can say." Minato informed.
"I guess you're right…" Mitsuko giggled.
"Besides, this time is meant to be with your friends..." Takeshi told Mitsuko before turning to Luna, "And those you love."
"T-Takeshi-kun?" Luna blushed nervously, "A-Are you…flirting with me?"
"Maybe I am," Takeshi said with a smile, as Eiji looked over to Saki.
"Hey uh… Saki… after this is done… would you… uh… like to come to my place for Christmas dinner?" Eiji asked.
"I'd love to. And… don't tell Lady Vert this… I love Christmas… but going out for Chinese food every year is sickening…" Saki informed.
"I see. I guess… she likes a certain Christmas movie a lot," Eiji shrugged, getting Saki to giggle.
"So, Momo-chan. My parents are going to be coming soon… they really want to meet the people that me and Kassie are dating… so… will you be free this Friday at 1:00?" Kai asked.
"Hmm… lemme check…" Momo informed, taking out a schedule, "Just kidding! If it's for you… I'm always free."
"Hey Yuki… here, I got you a little somethin'," AJ informed handing him a small present.
"Oh… wow… I've… never gotten a present before," Yuki admitted, smiling a little bit, opening the gift to show it to be a stetson, he looked and saw a message was written on a tag "'To the best Iceman I know of; now you have a little piece of me wherever you go...' Oh… thank you so much AJ…"
"No prob… and if ya'd like… ya can call me Allison," AJ informed.
And then, Terra and Hinata were standing next to each other, blushing, as Hinata felt her hand being hold by Terra.
"Terra-kun… th-that… I didn't expect your first Christmas to go like that… I would've liked it to be more peaceful…" Hinata admitted.
"I know, Hinata. But we can't control what happens around us and we can't control other people…" Terra responded.
"But… I'm glad I get to spend some time with you anyway…" Hinata smiled.
"Same here, Hinata-chan," Terra smiled back.
After delivering every gift, the heroes soon arrived at the Mataranger's base, and soon found that the base was fully decorated, and there were presents all under the tree that were from one-another, which the team had opened up with time, when Mitsuko noticed the bag that held all the presents for the people around the world still had some boxes in them.
"Why's this here? Did we forget some presents?" Takeshi wondered, as Mitsuko walked on over to it, she took a moment to look at the gifsts and gasped after a moment.
"Minna… these are our gifts!" Mtsuko exclaimed.
"Really?! Wow!" Vert gawked as the teams walked over, and Mitsuko handed Neptune the first present.
"Yay! Let's see…" Neptune giggled, as she saw it was a plushie of her as Purple Heart, but it wasn't a plushie made by Plutia, "Wow! Who could've made this? It's so amazing…"
Next, Eiji opened his gift, revealing it to be a copy of Skylanders Trap Team, with Luna instantly blocking Noire's sight from the game.
"Awesome… I got what I wanted…" Eiji smiled, as Luna gave him a glare, "What? For you Sony, it's bad, but for me over in Nintendo, it's a game still."
"I guess I'll go next," Yuki shrugged, opening his gift to reveal a snowcone maker, "Oh wow! This is… this is… just like the snowcones I had when I was little…"
"My turn!" Hikaru smiled, as he reached for his gift, which was an acoustic guitar, "Hey! This is awesome! Always wanted to learn how to play one of these."
Sora got her gift next and opened it to show it was sneakers with the Go-On Wings on them, "Sweet! Now I can practice with true style!"
"Okay… my turn," Aqua smiled, as she took out her gift, she opened it up to see it was a heart shaped locket that was painted blue and had the words "My favorite people" on the front and when she opened it, there was a picture of Hikaru and Karin in it, "Aww… this is sweet."
"Alright… my turn," Hana giggled, taking her gift, she opened it to show it was an autographed NiGHTS into Dreams shirt, "Awesome! Just what I wanted! And hey, it's autographed by Naka Yuji-san!"
"Well… remember who's actually in charge of the game here?" Neptune giggled, pointing to herself.
=And remember who's still waiting for the day we make NiGHTS the new mascot?= Nepgear added.
"And remember who keeps saying no to it," Neptune reminded.
"Alrighty… here I go…" Luna stated, as she opened up her gift, revealing to be a custom made T-Shirt with Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank and Sly Cooper on it, complete with a logo on the back reading "Playstation's Stars" on it, "Now this is what I like to see!"
"Uh… my turn… I suppose," Minato shrugged, as she was handed her gift before slowly opening it to show it was a framed picture, and who was in it made her gasp, "My… my… family and my team…"
She hugged the picture really close, tears falling from her eyes, looking at it bringing back several memories.
"Mah turn now," AJ smiled, as she opened up her gift to find out that it was a special seed planting rake, "Wow! This just what Ah needed!"
Terra was handed his gift next, which he opened to show it was a framed picture of him and Hinata, making him blush before Hinata giggled a bit and was handed her gift. She opened it and got a very giddy smile when she was what it was.
"The Mach Driver. YES!" Hinata cheered, holding the belt for Drive's secondary Rider.
"So… can uh… I open my present?" Karin asked, not sure how it would work, reaching out for where it might be, before Aqua handed it to her and helped the young girl open her present. She took a moment and felt some braille writing on her gift, "Blue nail polish… oh. Like you put on your nails to make them look cuter, right Onee-chan?"
"Yea," Aqua nodded, "I can help you with that later if you want,"
"Yea… so… would this make me like… 20% cuter?"
"More than 20% Karin-chan," Aqua giggled.
Next, Ignatius opened his present to find a very beautiful drawing of the seven Matarangers in their suits, "Wow… this is cool. Wonder who made this…"
Takeshi followed this up by opening his present to reveal a copy of Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, "Well, I hope this turns out as good as fans hyped it up to be."
Finally, Mitsuko took her gift and opened it up, gasping when she saw what it was. "I don't believe it… he remembered…"
It was the lavender pony toy that she wanted when she was little, the toy having an indigo mane and tail and magenta eyes.
"Oh my…" Mitsuko stated with teary eyes, as she held the teddy bear she cuddled with when she was younger, and it was then Mitsuko saw a note from Santa in the wrapping paper "'Dear Mitsuko- I'm so sorry I didn't give you this so long ago. It was the most popular toy out there… I remembered to set one aside for you the following year… but I forgot to bring it for you. Have a Merry Christmas and never stop believing in magic… or the greatest kind of Magic. The Magic of Friendship, Santa Claus'. Well, that was nice of him. I shoulda remembered about the pony's popularity. Heh… thank you so much Santa."
Later that day, the three teams were still hanging around the home of the Matarangers, partying since 8:40, but Takeshi decided to step outside to get some fresh air. He stepped outside and looked at the snow that had fallen on the ground.
"Take-kun… something up?" Luna asked, following him.
"Hmm? Oh, it's nothing, Luna. I just… had to step outside for a moment," Takeshi answered, when Luna saw a disk in his hands, she looked at it closer and noticed that the disk had writing on it in sharpie.
"...What's that?" Luna asked.
"Remember my Super Adapter form? This is the disk I use to activate it," he informed, as Luna saw the game's disk
"Rockman and Sonic: Worlds Collide. I never heard of that, was it from the AR SEGA no Sekai?"
"Yea… and it's the last thing I have from… her…" Takeshi informed, before he sighed, "But… I'm certain, since you're my girlfriend, you'd more or less ban me from ever thinking about her ever again, I mean… I'd guess you'd want me to be loyal to you and no one else, huh?"
Luna blinked for a moment, a bit surprised he'd say that, but then she just walked over to his side and place her hand on his shoulder.
"Who do you love? Me or her?" Luna asked, making Takeshi raise an eyebrow before he cleared his throat
"...You, of course. Why do you ask?"
"Do you miss this other person?" Luna asked next.
"Um… admittedly, I do, but… again why do you-"
"I wouldn't ban you from remembering someone you miss, she was probably a good friend at the least. But I do ban you from hooking up with another woman," Luna pointed out, making Takeshi blink in nervousness, out of fear of what happen if things didn't work out.
"Uh… okay? Suddenly, I'm getting a bit scared," he admitted.
"I'm kidding. I'm not a jerk Take-kun," Luna giggled a bit, as Takeshi hugged her, and unknown to them, Saki and Eiji walked out as well, taking a short walk away from their fellow Riders.
"...So… you think I'm special?" Saki asked.
"Yea, even if you don't have Wi-Fi Mode, you're still a great friend and person to be with," Eiji smiled, making Saki blush and smile as they walked along.
Back inside, Aqua was in the middle of playing around with Karin when Hikaru walked over and smiled at the two of them.
"I see you two are having a good time," Hikaru smiled.
"Hai. Look, Onee-chan even helped me paint my nails," Karin giggled, showing off her now blue fingernails.
"That's really cute," Hikaru smiled, as he took out a small gift, "Oh Aqua… here, I got this for you."
"Hikaru… what could you have possibly gotten me…?" Aqua wondered, opening the gift to see it was tickets to an onsen that Aqua had heard great things about and wanted to go to, making her smile, "I've wanted to go there for the longest… wait… 'Sibling pass'?"
"For both you and Karin," Hikaru informed, "Just wanted to make sure you're happy."
"Arigatou, Hikaru-kun," Aqua giggled, "You shine brighter than the stars and the sun…"
"And you're just the most beautiful of water lilies," Hikaru complimented, as Karin blinked at them for a bit, making Aqua smile, and they hugged.
Terra watched as Hinata readied the Mach Driver and placed the Mach Signal Bike in it.
=SIGNAL BIKE!=
She let the tune play for a bit, bopping her head with the beat of the music, before smiling, "Let's… Henshin!"
=RIDER: ...MACH!=
Hinata just giggled at how it sounded, enjoying the motorcycle motif and the sounds of the Driver. She took a moment to take out the Burning Solar Shift Car, simply curious if it would even work in it.
"Hmm… let's see," she pondered before removing the Signal Bike and loading in the Shift Car.
=SHIFT CAR!=
"It does have some unique sounds… cool," Hinata giggled as she lowered pair of the buckle into position.
=TAIYA KOUKAN!=
=SHICARU!=
"Huh… interesting," Hinata noted, looking at the Signal Bike for a moment, "Wonder if Tou-san would like this…"
"Whatcha mean by that?" Terra inquired.
"Oh? My dad used to be a motorcycle racer… he retired and went into photography not long after I was born," Hinata added.
"Oh… I see… well… uh… I'm glad to be able to spend some time with you Hinata-chan," Terra smiled, making Hinata smile as well.
"Same here. I hope you enjoyed your first Christmas," Hinata giggled as she hugged Terra, when she noticed something above them, "Hey Terra-kun… look."
The two soon looked up at the ceiling to see something hanging down from it, Terra looking confused at first before…
"It's called a mistletoe," Hinata informed, "And the tradition is that if two people are under it…"
However, instead of finishing it in words, Hinata just kissed Terra, not on the cheek, but full on the lips, making the Toa of Earth blush a deep red, before melting into the passion of the kiss, the two being watched by Mitsuko, Minato, Takeshi, Ignatius, Sora and Natsuki.
"Well… it looks like they love each-other," Natsuki stated, as they backed up for a moment, with Hinata and Terra parting from their kiss.
"Terra-kun… that felt… magical…" Hinata giggled, Terra simply blushing at this.
"It honestly did…" Terra smiled.
"I've never felt more magical in my whole life…" Hinata giggled, "Apart from being a Guardian, of course."
"...Glad I could give you such a special feeling…" Terra smiled.
A bit later, Takeshi, Ignatius and Mitsuko lead the three groups outside for a picture with Hikaru setting up the camera.
"Okay guys, just move in a little bit more. Hinata, can you move a bit closer to Natsuki and Terra?" Mitsuko instructed as the others did as told.
"How's the camera, Hikaru? Is it almost ready?" Ignatius asked.
"It's good to go. Is everyone in position?" Hikaru responded and checked.
"Yep, everyone's set, Hikaru," Mitsuko confirmed.
"Better hurry up, dude, if you want to get in frame!" Kai shouted, as Hikaru set the camera, and quickly ran up to them and they all posed for the Christmas picture.
Pikatwig: And we finished this special… and it is sadly late.
KKD: Well, at least we aren't the only ones late on that. I noticed some people got Christmas Specials up late, too.
Pikatwig: Yea. Ah well… we were able to finish it, and this was actually well above 10,000 words.
KKD: Yea. But regardless, I'm glad we got this done at all.
Pikatwig: So… favorite part?
KKD: Hmm… that's a tricky one… a close one I'd say would have to be that crazy battle that seemed to take up most of the story. Not saying the length was bad, but it was cool to see the teams working like that, especially in the mecha battle. Also, I'm still confused as to how Trixie figured out that Mitsuko and her friends were the Guardians and why she'd want to join them. We never did get a straight answer.
Pikatwig: Momo stated she let it slip, did you forget that part?
KKD: ...So minute, I don't think I noticed. Still, it seemed like a dumb move.
Pikatwig: I'm not so sure if I have a favorite part, and for those of you wondering what Momo was talking about when she thought of something 'green and gold' during the conversation between Trixie and Mitsuko before the Guardians battled Trixie, it's meant to reference an episode of the second season of Power Rangers. Just so you readers who didn't get it know.
KKD: But if we told you, we'd be spoiling. Anyways, we hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, and we also hope you have an equally Happy New Year.
Pikatwig: In agreement. *takes out 3DSXL and starts to play SSB4.* Finally got my hands on SSB4… my very first Smash Bros game…
KKD: Good for you; mine was Brawl.
Pikatwig: Cool for you. *smiles and looks at the three most played characters: Megaman, Rosalina and Luma and finally Falco* Just Live More.
KKD: Jaa ne.
