Super Sentai vs Super Sentai
Author's note: Okay, this has got to be the longest chapter up to date. Lots of expositions here, and the final member is revealed (who knows if I decided to add Sixth Rangers or such). It's just... ugh... tiring! Our next member is unexpected since I don't think this site has a fic about the series she is from (I may be the first). Who is she? Find out as you read.
PREVIOUSLY ON CHAPTER 4
Shiba Takeru, otherwise known as Shinken Red, was transported to a different world, seemingly to the past time, with unknown time frame. He encountered different past Sentai warriors taken from different time frames including Hama Youhei/Blue Turbo two years after the fall of the Bouma, Momozono Miki/Goggle Pink one year after the fall of Deathdark and a resurrected Yuuki Gai/Black Condor three years after the fall of Vyram, shortly after his untimely death. A lot of mysteries were left unsolved for him…However, soon enough, he would face a big responsibility amidst this mystery…
ACT 5: Gathering of the Super Sentai
"Damn it, pick it up already!" Gai scoffed at the telephone booth. Eventually unable to take it anymore, he hung the phone angrily and walked out some more.
It's been a day since he just got his life back in control and met Takeru, Youhei and Miki. As he was unable to trust them from get go, Gai separated himself from the three and attempted to call his fellow Jetmen. However, everytime he tried to call them, he couldn't contact them. Combined with the fact that he also lost a lot of his possessions, which includes his money and personal motorcycle, this just frustrated Gai even more.
Thankfully, when he came across a junk yard, he found a discarded motorcycle. 'Wait a minute, maybe this could work well…' Gai thought, thinking to make the motorcycle a temporary replacement for his personal one until he could afford a new one. 'Well, since this is a thrown-away item, nobody would complain if I take it anyway.'
Gai observed the motorcycle, and noticed that it was ruined, but can still be repaired. Using several of the scrap metals left in the junkyard, he began to utilize his old skills of assembling the motorcycle, which he usually did whenever his motorcycle was damaged. In a short while, the motorcycle became operational again.
"All right, this baby's lookin' good!" Gai commented as he started up the engine, "This'll do for now!"
The engine roaring, Gai took a stride with his motorcycle. It wasn't as good as his previous one, but he decided not to complain. As he rode the motorcycle, he remembered about his friends Ryuu and Kaori. Even though he couldn't contact them, he was pretty sure that they'd be happy together. Which reminded him something…
'Hey, since I just cheated death and came back alive… Maybe it's time for that!'
He decided to go and try to impress the ladies like usual. He knew his love with Kaori wouldn't go anywhere and she was really better off with Ryuu, so he decided to restart his love life anew, hopefully with a new girl that fit with him. Just then, when he passed the traffic light, he came across a woman wearing white clothes and shoes, standing on a pedestrian. She seemed to be of 22 years old.
'Now that's one hell of a babe…' Gai thought as he looked at the woman, hoping that she'd not fall as easily as any other women he could charm usually. Suddenly, she faced him. Gai was taken aback at how forward the woman was, but she showed no sign of disgust. 'Wait, approaching me first? Talk about guts!'
"Excuse me." The woman suddenly called him, trying to approach him. Quickly, Gai moved near the pedestrian to greet her.
"Yes, cutie. What can I do for you, hm?"
"Yuuki Gai, I presume." The woman continued, which shocked Gai on how she knew his name without him telling, "Can I ask you a favor? I'd like you to take me somewhere."
'Wait, what? This woman is so forward, is she just bluffing? !' Gai was slightly suspicious on the forwardness of the woman, but he decided to just do as she said, "As you say, beautiful. Hop in!"
"Thank you." The woman then sat behind Gai and circled her arms around him.
'Well, isn't she forward. Let's see where it goes then.' As he thought of how forward the woman was, Gai asked the woman, "So, where would you like to go? Beach?"
"Somewhere else. I'll tell you the direction later."
"Sure. Brace yourself, babe, since this old motor might give you a bumpy ride."
"I'm prepared. Let's go!"
As the woman said that, the traffic light gave out the green light. The motorcycle ran forward, carrying Gai and the woman with it.
"Hey… who're you, really?" As they passed a port area, Gai suddenly asked, his voice suddenly turned serious, not in the mood to flirt.
"I'm sorry?"
"I haven't given you my name, and yet you know it already." Gai explained, "Who are you, then? How did you know my name?"
"I've heard about you, and I am looking for you for some business." The woman said, "Nothing more."
"Well, okay, then how about your name, then?" Gai asked back, "I can't just call you 'Hey you' all the time, can I?"
"Name, huh. All right." The woman said, "My name is Nagisa Sayaka. You can call me Sayaka."
"Sayaka, huh. So what's your business with me?" Gai continued his question.
"You'll see when we reached our destination." Sayaka calmly answered, effectively shutting Gai up as he had nothing more to say.
In the same time; Takeru, Youhei and Miki gathered in a park located between the apartment and the Shiba House. They were gathered by a letter noting to meet them in that exact time.
"I wonder who called us here…" Miki muttered, knowing that for some reason, the letter was rather suspicious.
Just then, a sound of motorcycle was heard. When the three looked, it was Gai, bringing Sayaka along.
"Gai?" Youhei said to him.
"You guys again?" Gai was startled that they'd meet again that quickly since the last time, "Don't tell me you're…"
"We received this one letter calling us here." Takeru explained, showing the letter which he received, "Did you get that as well? Or did you call us here?"
"Listen here, I ain't got any letter, nor did I even bother to write a letter to you guys." Gai shrugged, "Just that this lady asked me to take me here. For whatever reason I don't know." With that, the three looked at Sayaka.
"This lady?" Miki asked.
"Whoa." Youhei was stunned. He would compliment on her beauty, but he bit his lip one moment before it slipped out.
"Shiba Takeru, Hama Youhei and Momozono Miki; I suppose." Sayaka correctly said their names. "I am the one who wrote that letter. Thanks for coming here."
"Who're you?" Takeru asked.
"Nagisa Sayaka."
Once again the revelation shocked Takeru; as now another past Sentai warrior; Change Mermaid of the Changeman. In the past, she worked together with her team to repel the invasion of the Gozma Empire. But, how did she become aware of what's happening?
"So, why did you gather us here?" Takeru asked again, now going straight to the point.
"The reason why I called you here…" Sayaka was ready to answer, until she suddenly heard a scream accompanied with a smell of smoke, "This can't be good!" She immediately rushed to the source of the scream, followed by the four.
When they arrived there, they witnessed a monster ravaging the park, burning down the plants on the park.
"HAHAHA! BURN BURN BURN!" The monster roared with enthusiasm, seeing the fire burning the surrounding, with innocents running in terror from the scene.
"What the… Some sort of Bio Dimensional Beast?" Gai asked, taking note of the monster's features. It was a monster covered with fire-like manes.
"No… it's Space Beast." Sayaka corrected, "I've fought those before."
"Fought those?" Youhei asked in shock.
"When that news came in, I didn't want to believe it either. But here it is." Sayaka remembered the last time she noticed the return of her old nemesis.
A year passed since the defeat of Star King Bazoo of the Gozma Empire. With the aliens returning to restore the planet, the Changemen returned to their own lives, mostly to their previous military bases before Commander Yui Ibuki drafted them. After Ibuki left them, Tsurugi Hiryuu was promoted into Commander and led a new battalion of soldiers, guarding peace in Ibuki's place. Hayate Shou was promoted into Tsurugi's vice-commander and did his job well, while his womanizer attitude never really disappeared and hadn't gotten him much success in getting the girls. Oozora Yuuma retired from the army and finally fulfilled his dream of opening a tonkatsu restaurant, living in peace with a new pet horse named after his deceased one, 'Pegasus'. Tsubasa Mai began pursuing intellect-based skills, with hopes to reunite with her first love Dr. Masato. With the help of Sayaka, she managed to meet the qualifications as a scientist and it would be soon until she could depart.
As of Sayaka herself, she was transferred to a new base to become the head of the Research & Intelligence Department of the army shortly after the defeat of Bazoo. Peace seemed to last for the Changemen, until one year after Bazoo's defeat, where a similar quake occurred.
When the quake settled, Sayaka found herself alone. Every single member of her base was gone without any traces. She tried contacting her fellow Changemen, but none of them responded.
'What is happening here?' she thought as she got out of the base. She looked at her wrist, noticing the Change Brace that she still wore to that day, as a remembrance of her battle. Even though that was used as a mean of communicating with fellow Changemen, she still couldn't contact them.
Until suddenly, from the ground, several familiar faces appeared…'Hidrer soldiers? !' Sayaka was shocked. As far as she knew, the Hidrer soldiers were produced from Bazoo, being a planet-sized life form. As they have destroyed Bazoo, there shouldn't be any more Hidrer soldiers. But they were there, right in front of her eyes.
'I have to do it, even if I'm alone.' Sayaka thought as she started taking her fighting position.
In the present time, the five young people eventually couldn't take witnessing the garden burning, thus they rushed into battle, fighting against the Hidrer Soldiers.
"Wha? ! Who're you? !" The flaming Space Beast said, "Are you aware that you face Space Beast Flaron!"
"Oh, who gives a damn about you? !" Gai retorted as he knocked away a Hidrer soldier with a backhand without even looking back, "You terrorized these people, that's enough reason for me to kick you in the butt!"
With that, he rushed alone to attack Flaron with a punch. However, the Space Beast let himself get punched, as when Gai planted his fist to Flaron's stomach, his fist began to burn in a high temperature, so much that he had to pull his fist back, as if his attack was deflected.
"Gai! Are you okay? !" After throwing a Hidrer soldier down, Miki approached Gai, worried on his condition.
"AGH! Damn it, that's some hot body…!" Gai cursed as he fanned his fist with his other hand. However, as he looked up, a Hidrer soldier ran towards him to attack, only for Youhei to circle his arm around the soldier's neck, throw it to the ground and punched it on the red circle on its chest, which suddenly made it vanish.
"Looks like they got a weak point! This could be a breeze!" Youhei marveled at his discovery, only for Takeru to just run past him to fight further.
"Don't underestimate your enemy, even if they have obvious weak points." Takeru noted as he started slashing through several Hidrer soldiers and eventually reached Flaron. He began fighting it with his slashes, but even Flaron wasn't much affected with his slashes.
'Urgh, this way my Fire Mojikara won't have any effect…!' Takeru thought, noting the similarity of this Flaron with a Gedoushuu he fought in the past, 'If only there's Ryuunosuke here…'
"Water defeats fire." Sayaka said as she walked forward after hitting a Hidrer soldier on its red spot on the chest, eliminating it, "I believe that this is my job."
"LET'S CHANGE! CHANGE MERMAID!" After putting her brace forward, Sayaka crouched as she crossed her arms forward and quickly got up, with her eventually putting her hand upwards. With it, she was suddenly covered with white gust which transformed her into a white Sentai warrior, Change Mermaid of the Changeman.
'I knew it… it's her.' Takeru noted, looking at how Change Mermaid charged forward fighting against Hidrer soldiers that blocked her way between her and Flaron.
"I think Sayaka had a plan to defeat that beast." Miki noticed, "We have to support her!"
"I know. Let's go." Takeru said, preparing his Shodo Phone as the rest of them prepared to transform.
"SHODO PHONE! IPPITSU SOUJOU!"
"CROSS CHANGER!"
"BLUE TURBO!"
"GOGGLE PINK!"
The four people turned into Shinken Red, Black Condor, Blue Turbo and Goggle Pink respectively. Immediately after, they lent their hands to Change Mermaid in fighting the Hidrer Soldiers. However, they couldn't damage Flaron due to the heat on his body.
"Okay, let's try this one, then!" Blue Turbo then unleashed his sidearm, a pistol, "Turbo Laser!" With that he shot Flaron several times.
"Dang, why didn't I think about that one before? !" Black Condor said as he unleahed his own pistol and shot Flaron with it, "Bird Blaster!"
However, Flaron only stood still, taking all the bullets head on. Instead of falling in defeat, he still walked forward as if there's no effect.
"Are you stupid?" Flaron taunted, "Gun impact produced heats. And not only I absorb fire, I also absorb heat! You are no match for me!"
'Tch, at this rate, we can't do anything on him.' Shinken Red cursed silently as he witnessed that even long range attack are no match for it.
'All we have is whatever this Change Mermaid had for plan.' Goggle Pink looked at Change Mermaid, hoping that her plan would disable this beast, "Please. We're counting on you."
"Leave it to me." Change Mermaid said as she gathered all the Earth Power that she had.
"MERMAID TYPHOON WAVE!"
With it, she summoned a huge whirlpool that soon engulfed Flaron. This time, he was in a serious pain, as he couldn't stand water.
"All right, way to go!" Blue Turbo cheered as Flaron was being pushed back.
"… It's not over yet…!" Shinken Red suddenly made a remark as he saw Flaron also gathering his own willpower to move forward.
"Damn… water…!" Flaron grunted as he gathered all his strength, "But… I, Space Beast Flaron… WILL NOT BE BEATEN AS SUCH!"
He then roared loudly, gathering all his might. In a sudden, fire bursted out of his body, engulfing even the typhoon wave.
"No… no way!" Change Mermaid was shocked seeing that even the Space Beast resisted the typhoon wave. Flaron countered with a flame breath that even pushed back the typhoon wave, eventually burning her, "AAHH!"
"Mermaid!" Black Condor, Blue Turbo and Goggle Pink all ran to Change Mermaid, helping her to stand up.
'No… my water was not enough…!' Change Mermaid thought as she looked around. There was no huge water source nearby. If there was, she could use her other arsenal, which could also overwhelm Flaron's fire.
"Hahahaha!" Flaron laughed triumphantly, "What Lord Bazoo couldn't accomplish, I could! The Changeman and its knockoffs are no match for me!"
"Knockoff? ! Why you little bastard…!" Black Condor was pissed off that he's even referred as 'knockoff' and when he tried to strike him, both Blue Turbo and Goggle Pink had to restrain him, "Let me go, damn it! 'Knockoff', what the hell was that about? !".
"Calm down! If you attack him like that, it won't do any good!" Goggle Pink reprimanded him.
"She's… right. We have to retreat…" Change Mermaid said as she still struggled to get up, latching on Goggle Pink. At that time, Shinken Red stepped in front.
"This battle is not in our favor." He said, preparing his Shodo Phone, "I'll handle this".
He then brushed the kanji 'Smoke', trying to cover yet another escape. But in the middle of writing the kanji, suddenly from the sky, a circular beam was shot, aimed to the warriors. "What the…" Before Shinken Red could finish his sentence, he and the rest of the warriors vanished, as if the beam was transporting them somewhere else.
The beam took them to a huge flying ship, which was invisible to normal human's eye. The ship possessed a high technology level, though it was quite similar with several hi-tech bases that was used by the Super Sentai teams such as the Future Science Lab or the Sky Force base. The beam was eventually transferred to a transporter room, in which the warriors got thrown to the ground, unmorphed.
"Ouch, my back…" Youhei, who fell right on his back, groaned as he held his aching back.
"What in the world…?" Takeru looked in awe at the advanced technology of the ship. It was something he had never seen in his life, not once did he stumble on a place like this during his battle against the Gedoushuu.
"Takeru? Takeru?" Miki called him out, snapping him back to his senses, "What's wrong? You look as if you're in a daze."
"N… nothing." Takeru shook his head, trying to focus on what's going on.
"Oh, what's wrong? Never been in a place like this, huh?" Gai teased at Takeru's nervousness. As Youhei looked at him, he remembered that in Takeru's entry in the History of Super Sentai, he used technologies based on ancient Japan, not science fiction-like technology. When compared to him and the rest, they're more familiar with this setting.
"Knock it off. I can see that he's unfamiliar with this kind of place already." Sayaka cut off Gai's teasing and turned to Takeru, "Don't worry. The more you see this, the more you'll get used to it."
"The 'more I see this'?" Takeru once again became suspicious of Sayaka, "Don't tell me you're…"
"You'll understand later." As Sayaka said that, she put her hand on the switch near the door, which read her fingerprints and opened the door. "Follow me."
Without anything else to do, the four followed Sayaka, who led them to the command room. Inside there, someone sat on a chair, although the chair was quite tall that nobody could see his face, as he was not facing them. "I've brought them here, sir. As you asked."
"Good job, Ms. Nagisa." The chair spun slowly, revealing an elderly man on his forties, wearing a suit befitting of a commander, "Welcome aboard… Super Sentai."
"Super Sentai?" Takeru asked, already suspicious of this man, "Who are you to know us like that?"
"Ah, allow me to introduce myself." The man said, standing up, "You may call me commander Akihiro. Pleased to meet you all… Shiba Takeru… Yuuki Gai… Hama Youhei… Momozono Miki…"
"How did you know about us?" Miki asked, "Calling us 'Super Sentai' or something…"
"Isn't that part of you?" Akihiro replied, "You once belonged to the groups calling themselves 'Sentai'. Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, Choujin Sentai Jetman, Kousoku Sentai Turboranger, Dai Sentai Goggle Five. And in case of Ms. Nagisa… Dengeki Sentai Changeman. Are you not?" The answer shocked all them.
"So… you're in cahoots with him? !" Gai turned into Sayaka, his eyes showed quite distrust as he felt that she was using them for his own ends.
"No, I'm not." Sayaka shook her head in response, "I was just like you, being summoned me against my will. All Akihiro asked to me was to find you guys, and I…"
"Gai, knock it off." Youhei said to Gai, trying to calm him down, "So, uh… Mr. Akihiro. Who are you? Some sort of professor?"
"Maybe you could call me that. I was once the ally of AkaRed." Akihiro answered.
"AkaRed…?" Takeru said, noting that the name was mentioned in the History of Super Sentai.
"Yes, I come from a different dimension from you all." Akihiro said, explaining, "I was their assistant, helping the commander ShiroWhite and the team led by AkaRed to fight against Rufecil."
"Rufecil?" Youhei was confused hearing the name, "Who in the blazes is that?"
"Rufecil is our arch enemy. He is the embodiment of all evil in the universe." Akihiro answered, "We all draw energies from your universe. In short, energy generated from how you Super Sentai fight against your enemies. We drew power from your fighting spirits, while Rufecil drew power from the villains' spirits. Thankfully for the world, you all continue to prevail, so we could prevail against Rufecil."
"Then he should've been defeated long time ago." Sayaka concluded, "But why did you call us here? Are you saying that Rufecil has returned?"
"In essence, Rufecil cannot be destroyed. As long as there's evil in mankind's heart, he will always return." Akihiro answered, "And every time he comes back, we have to repeat our battle to keep him at bay."
"So that's why there will always be Super Sentai." Takeru looked at his four fellow warriors, "Year to year, they represent the hope for humanity, up until me... and in the future, someone else would take my place in defending the Earth."
"I understand about this." Miki added, "Unlike us, you have to do this all by themselves since the beginning of time, with no successors. How sad…"
"Indeed. But we are thankful that thanks to your efforts, we always prevailed." Akihiro reassured them, before continuing, "Shortly after AkaRed came to the your world, we devised a plan that would keep Rufecil sealed longer that he would never return, so we could rebuild our ruined world. And that plan is… to separate the key to the seal of Rufecil into two keys and send one of them to the world. The key is responsible of adjusting the power level of the seal, it is now set to the highest level available that no man without the key could lower it nor break it."
"Okay, nice story and all, but mind explaining about what the hell is happening in this world?" Gai retorted back, looking at Akihiro, "You seem to know the Jetman! Then where are the rest of them? Red Hawk? White Swan? Blue Swallow? Yellow Owl? Why am I the only one here?"
"Yes, about that one…" Takeru continued, "I cannot contact any of my vassals. And in place of them are these four Sentai warriors from various timelines of the past. What is going on here?"
"This is because an abnormality has occurred at your time, and we noticed it too." Akihiro calmly answered, "It was some sort of masked man, who claims to be 'Just passing through'…"
'I knew it… so it has something to do with that Kamen Rider Decade…!' Takeru thought, recalling his meeting with Decade in the past. What did fate have in store to him after their meeting? Did he turn into something similar to Decade? Would he end up as the one from Sentai universe that would eventually connect every world and destroy them? "So what happened because of this abnormality?"
"Rufecil was able to sneak parts of his essence to your world." Akihiro said as he walked around, "With that, he was able manipulate time and space, creating a new universe that are based on yours… and that only one member of the Sentai warrior would be present."
"What? ! No way. You're saying that Riki and the others…" Youhei started to get worried at the prospect of all his friends being killed. Thankfully, Akihiro's explanation rather calmed him.
"No, they're not killed. They just stay in the normal universe, while you get picked into this one universe to represent the Turborangers."
"So… this new universe takes people from various timelines from our default universe?" Miki asked, "Is that why I could meet from different timelines together?"
"Yes. This is an alternate universe, which is similar to the default one." Akihiro continued, "Events that happened in your universe also happened in this universe."
"So… how do we restore everything back to normal?" Sayaka asked, hoping that they all could return to their own universe and time.
"According to how AkaRed and ShiroWhite planned it…" Akihiro sat back to his chair, "There are two seals, one that can be seen by those belonging to the teams Goranger to Jetman, but cannot be activated by them, and vice versa to the other one. That is what lies here."
"Two seals?" Takeru asked.
"Yes. AkaRed has secured one of them." Akihiro then said something that shocked everyone, "Which means, you only need to find the seal here."
"And that's why you need us." Takeru said.
"Yes, Takeru." Akihiro nodded, then pointed to him, "You are able to activate this world's seal, while your friends here are able to find them for you. When you do activate the seal on this ship, you will be transported to AkaRed's realm, so together, the key are one and we will be able to repair the error caused by the abnormality that made Rufecil's essence get spread onto the worlds. Are you with me?"
"Basically, you want us to band together under Takeru and find the last remaining key here?" Sayaka asked, in which Akihiro nodded.
"Yes, you can do it. You can combine your powers to achieve your goal. After all, you ARE the Super Sentai."
"Everyone, let's do it." Miki suggested, once again agreeing to band together for the common purpose, just like she did in the past.
"Agreed!" Youhei nodded in agreement, followed by Sayaka.
"You kiddin'?" Gai suddenly objected, "I mean, you're like mindless slaves that do things just as you're exactly told! Don't you have second thoughts or something?"
"Any second thoughts would hold no meaning here… Gai." Takeru objected at Gai instead, "Do we have any other choice in regards of finding our way back home?"
"Brat, who do you think you are?" Gai glared at Takeru in retaliation, thinking that he got a bit too cheeky.
"That's enough, Gai!" Sayaka stopped the quarrelling before it could get any further, "Without Takeru, we won't be able to return. Even if we can find the key, who can activate it other than him?"
"Sayaka is right." Akihiro interrupted, agreeing with her, "You all came from different timelines, different teams, but deep down, you are the same. You are Super Sentai. You can work together and achieve your goal. It's time to put aside your differences and work together as a team."
"Tch…" Gai scoffed, as he tried to come up with reasons why he didn't want to stay with a bunch of strangers to him, but he couldn't think of one, "Right, fine. Looks like I have no choice…"
"That's very good." Akihiro nodded, as the team looked at him, "I'm pretty sure you'd turn out into a fine team. Use this ship as you like as your base of operations. They will provide you everything you need." As he spoke, suddenly he started vanishing, "Best of luck to you, Super Sentai…"
"Professor Akihiro!" Miki tried to reach him, but when she tried to touch his hand which was on the table, her hand went through it and he suddenly vanished, "He's gone…! Is he a ghost?"
"That's no ghost. It's a hologram." Sayaka corrected as she looked around, until she spotted a device near the chair that Akihiro sat, "That surprised me, actually."
"So, we're on our own now." Youhei noted.
"But at least we've got our purpose, rather than running around cluelessly." Takeru noted, "We have to find this 'key to Rufecil's seal'."
"Any clues?" Miki asked. But just as she asked, the whole room let out a warning siren flash.
"Wha…?" Takeru was shocked again.
"Don't worry, I know that one." Sayaka reassured him, "It's a sign that there is trouble. The monitor should capture what trouble is happening now." She then turned on the nearby monitor, which shows Flaron wreaking further havoc.
"The bastard is still around, huh…" Gai noted.
"Yeah. I guess we'll have to deal with him first." Youhei added, "But how do we beat him? Even water can't put him down."
"I know, the Typhoon Wave wasn't enough to defeat him." Sayaka said sadly, though she quickly got her mood up again, "But don't worry. I have another trump card for him. For that… I'll need your help."
"We're listening." As Takeru answered, everyone gathered around Sayaka to discuss the strategy to defeat Flaron.
As Flaron was left alone, he was left alone to wreak havoc, burning more innocents indiscriminately. "Hahaha! I am now your King! I have defeated your protectors, and there is nowhere to run, Earthlings!". As he was assisted with many Hidrer soldiers, things were looking bad for the innocent people…
Until suddenly, their path was blocked by five people… Takeru, Gai, Youhei, Sayaka and Miki. "That's far enough, Space Beast." Takeru started.
"You again? You're a glutton for beatings aren't you? !" Flaron beckoned.
"That was the last time. This time, it'll be different. That we guarantee!" Youhei answered with extreme coincidence, pointing at Flaron.
"We will never forgive you for all these chaos that harms the innocents!" Miki continued.
"Remember, move as planned." Sayaka reminded the rest of the team.
"Got it, got it." Gai nodded, then turned to Takeru, "Come on, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
"Right…" Takeru said as he prepared his Shodo Phone, and the rest prepared to transform.
"SHODO PHONE! IPPITSU SOUJOU!"
"CROSS CHANGER!"
"BLUE TURBO!"
"LET'S CHANGE! CHANGE MERMAID!"
"GOGGLE PINK!"
With that, the five transformed. Flaron looked annoyed, as he looked at the five warriors that he drove away, but faced him again. "You…!"
"Shinken Red! Shiba Takeru."
"Black Condor!"
"Blue Turbo!"
"Change Mermaid!"
"Goggle Pink!"
"Even though we are from the different time and team… We are still united as one!" Shinken Red gave a rousing sentence as the five stood bravely in front of the monster. As they stroke their pose befitting of a Super Sentai warrior, the five yelled,
"We are… SUPER SENTAI!"
"Grr…! Get them!" Flaron, after witnessing all those bravado, ordered the Hidrer Soldiers to attack, in which the Super Sentai team ran forward to fight against them.
Eventually all the Hidrer Soldiers were wiped out, thanks to them being hit in their weak spots. Angered, Flaron attacked the Super Sentai, in which once again their attacks proved to be rather futile against his burning body.
"Now. Proceed as planned!" Change Mermaid signaled and the four warriors nodded. Both she and Blue Turbo suddenly made a hasty retreat. When Flaron tried to chase after them, Shinken Red, Black Condor and Goggle Pink blocked his path and fought against him, no matter how futile. However, as they fight, they slowly moved away from the city.
The fight eventually took them near a dam. "You can't run forever, fool! I will burn you!" As he yelled, he breathed fire from his mouth, knocking away Shinken Red, Black Condor and Goggle Pink. However, he had wasted most of his energies, thus he stopped for awhile to catch his breath.
"NOW!" Suddenly, Blue Turbo showed up behind him, having been hiding all the time, running and grabbing him from behind. Holding Flaron off, withstanding all the heat that came to him, he ran off to the dam and dropped him there, to the body of water.
However, before he could even touch the water, suddenly a yell was heard from the water.
"MERMAID BIG WAVE!"
It turned out that Change Mermaid has been hiding in the water, her changed form enabled her to breathe underwater in ease, and all the time she attached a chain ball on her feet to keep her underwater against the dam's current. When she knew Flaron was thrown to the dam, she released the chain ball, enabling her to execute her attack. The wave contained a lot of water which was charged through Flaron's body, weakening him.
"Damn… water…! You can't beat me with…!" Flaron tried to gather his willpower again. However, something unexpected was thrown right in front of him.
"Oh no you don't!" Change Mermaid was in fact riding on the wave, enabling her to deliver a cross-chop to his fire-like manes, which had been his source of fire power.
"NO!" Flaron rolled on the ground, completely defeated. "How did you… my fire…!"
"It was actually easy. Your manes would shine in case something approached you for self defense, which grants you heat emissions." Change Mermaid deduced as the rest of the Super Sentai got near her, "Water would disrupt and weaken it, but you do have rare willpower to restore them. But now, no matter how many willpower you have, you will never be able to emit or absorb heat and fire anymore!"
"Pretty impressive." Shinken Red said, complimenting, before pulling a disk for his Shinkenmaru, "This is the end, Space Beast. Everyone, we'll attack together for one final blow!"
"OK!" The rest of the Super Sentai warriors nodded as they prepared their attacks.
"PINK DOUBLE RIBBON!" Goggle Pink started with summoning two ribbons, which she bound Flaron with it. With his heat emission system gone, he was unable to burn the ribbon. "DOUBLE RIBBON SPARK!" She then had both ribbon sticks touched together, delivering flare sparks to Flaron.
"J-MACHINE GUN!" While Flaron was sparked by Goggle Pink, Blue Turbo combined his Turbo Laser with his J-Gun and shot a long barrage of energy bullets straight to Flaron. While this happened, both Change Mermaid and Black Condor leapt to the sky.
"MERMAID ATTACK!"
"CONDOR FINISH!"
Change Mermaid then dove down with a cross chop powered with Earth Force, while Black Condor delivered a slash empowered with the Birdonic Wave from his body. Both are directed to Flaron.
Which left Shinken Red, standing between Blue Turbo and Goggle Pink; inserting his personal disk to his Shinkenmaru as he yelled, "REKKA DAIZANTOU!". With it, he turned his sword into a red zanbatou. Gathering all Mojikara around him, covering the Rekka Daizantou in fire, he ran forward and leapt upwards, going behind Flaron, as he was still barraged with the Double Ribbon Spark and J-Machine Gun.
"Rekka Daizantou: Hyakka Ryouran! CHESTOO!" With the yell, Shinken Red slashed downwards as Goggle Pink released the ribbons and Blue Turbo stopped firing, and Flaron was cleanly cut in two, and shortly after exploded.
"That was very impressive!" Change Mermaid complimented at Shinken Red's attack as he looked at the remains of Flaron.
'Tch, Blue Turbo's battle cry is getting on me…' He thought, "This brings this chapter to a close."
In a sudden, however, the sky turned dark as thunder roared. 'Not this again? !' Shinken Red thought as he looked at the sky. Even though it didn't quake, this sensation was quite familiar.
"Quite the showing, Super Sentai! However, that was just the beginning…!" A voice roared from the sky. Everyone looked around, trying to find the source of voice.
"Wait a minute… I think I've heard that voice before!" Black Condor noted, knowing that he did hear that voice very often in the past. In a sudden, five lightning struck the ground and five figures materialized.
The figures were not something stranger to the Super Sentai. In fact, they recognized them all… A white haired, cold woman with a stick; a skull-bodied humanoid with red face and carrying a long katana; a blue-skinned man covered with white armor and black cape; a woman wielding a baton wearing motorcyclist-like helmet and a red scarf; and a long haired woman wielding a whip. Each Sentai warrior recognized that they once used to be their enemies as they said their names respectively…
"Ahames…!"
"Fuwa Juzou…!"
"Radiguet…!"
"Mazurka…!"
"Jarmin…!"
Indeed, the enemies are the ones familiar to each them. Fuwa Juzou of the Gedoushuu, Queen Ahames of the Gozma army, Mazurka of the Deathdark Empire, Princess Jarmin of the Bouma tribe, and lastly Count Radiguet, the supreme leader of the Vyram.
"You did well to remember us." Jarmin coldly replied, in which Blue Turbo clenched his fist in anger, remembering something horrible that she had done to him in the past.
"How did you come back? ! We have defeated you!" Goggle Pink asked in disbelief.
"How foolish. Our rage remains even after death that we returned from the realm of the dead." Mazurka answered.
'Who could've done such thing…? Is it Rufecil?' Change Mermaid thought, trying to find out why these evil people returned from the dead.
"Don't get cocky after defeating the likes of Flaron, or those Bouma Tribe or Dimensional Beast or Mozoo or that Ayakashi." Ahames threatened, "You haven't seen what will happen when we are serious about killing you."
"You had better give it up and submit to your deaths while you have a chance." Radiguet continued, "You got lucky last time, but now you won't defeat me!"
"Like hell! Who'd do such thing, you bastard!" Black Condor angrily retorted, clenching his fist.
"You don't give up quick. This looks fun." Juzou answered, noting at how he met other powerful people besides Shinken Red.
'Juzou… Even after you were refused by your own sword, you still…' Shinken Red thought, remembering the last time Juzou was destroyed right in front of his eyes, his beloved sword Uramasa stabbed on his foot, refusing to let him have his joy of bloodshed. But he was standing there, alive and well.
Radiguet suddenly continued as he raised his sword upwards, and then pointed it to the heroes, launching several lightning bolts. Ahames, Mazurka, Jarmin also joined in, unleashing a bolt of energy with their weapons, hurting the heroes. Only Juzou didn't act, though it was more of that he didn't have such long-range attack. However severe the attack was, the heroes managed to endure it. When they got back up, the villains were gone, but Radiguet's voice rang.
"This is only a greeting." He said, "You shall be destroyed next time."
As he finished, the sky returned to normal, leaving the heroes in confusion. As they unmorphed, Sayaka pulled out a switch from her pocket and when she pressed it, the same beam that brought them to the airship was shot again, bringing them back.
The group tended to their wounds as they discussed on what they knew about their respective enemies.
"That's the kinda guy Radiguet is." Gai finished last, explaining about Radiguet.
"What a cruel man…" Miki commented, learning that of the enemies she fought so far, none really came as cruel as Radiguet as far as Gai described.
"Yeah. Better be careful when treading to him. Never show any mercy." Gai added, "He's a completely monstrous bastard."
"And I have to be careful around Mazurka too." Miki added, "I do not know, but it seemed as if even she and the Deathdark was holding something back when we fought them…"
"Bottom line is we need to be cautious to any of them." Takeru concluded as he got up, "With the exception of Juzou, I don't know in details on how cruel they are, but I can assure that they are dangerous and underestimating those people means death."
"How bad was Juzou anyway?" Youhei asked, in which Takeru gave a short reply.
"Just as ruthless as how you think your respective enemies are."
Sayaka was silent hearing it. She had hoped that maybe some of them were just under bad circumstances, like some who served Bazoo. But it would seem that this group of people is evil from the core.
"They're going to be a major obstacle to us all in achieving the key." Youhei noted, "Do you think they know about the key? Maybe Rufecil sent them?"
"Don't know. But there's only one thing we're sure of." Takeru said, turning to them, "They will get in our way, and we have to fight them, if we want to live. They may even cause trouble by threatening the innocents. For that I… am going to need your help." With that, Takeru offered his arm for agreement.
"Yeah, I'm with you." Youhei said as he put his hand above Takeru's.
"Me too." Miki continued as she also put her hand above Youhei's. Sayaka quickly followed by putting her hand above Miki's. However, she noticed that Gai looked kind of hesitant.
"Gai, you're in this?" Sayaka asked, in which Gai quickly replied.
"Oh right, of course I'm in." He then put his hand above Sayaka's in agreement.
The Super Sentai team has gathered. They now have a mission. Unfortunately, their enemies also appear together. For the safety of humanity in all universes, fight on! Super Sentai!
Super Sentai vs Super Sentai… will continue at Act 6.
Author's note: Surprise, surprise! The fifth member is a White Ranger, and from a Sentai series never receiving a fic here (as far as I know. Will update otherwise), Changeman! Also, well... that's all the OC Akihiro is going to feature here for now. I'm really bad at making an OC, so I'd just make him as the 'Mr Exposition who leaves the show after serving his purpose'. Kinda similar like Goggle Five's Dr. Hongou who left after 2 episodes (even though he's back in the last 2). For the reviewer, I had my reason not to include Maskman (or Carranger), but don't worry. I have a surprise for Maskman fans in this epic. And yes, this team will fight a team of big villains who'll churn out more Monster of The Chapter, but they will also have their personal issues with the team.
At any rate, as of now, this fic will probably take a short break. Because I have to plan out how the fic goes, I'd like this to be like many Sentai series, with fun fillers and all, so I have to draw the line first on when shall I do the filler and when shall the plot move forward. This might take some time, so updates may come late. Have a nice day!
