Super Sentai vs Super Sentai

Author's note: Hey, I'm back folks! Here's another chapter where I make use of yet another 'same character, same actor' thing... a little. Enjoy!

ACT 24: Visage of Chevalier

It's been several days since Mako chose to stay with the team. She was introduced with the Kizuna and how things work there, and she got along well in the team. As Takeru was the closest friend she could get at that moment, Mako was very close to him and usually stayed by his side especially when he had to return to the Shiba Household. It would seem that the team's bond would increase further in the coming days and they may have a bigger advantage towards the enemy.

Then one afternoon, during lunchtime…

Everyone was in the dining room, and everyone was shocked with what's on the table. "Well, it's certainly been awhile…" Takeru muttered, looking at what's on table… charred onigiri, gray curry, messy sukiyaki, solid soba and various Japanese dish that would've looked unedible. And Takeru knew who would be responsible for this… "Mako… what did you learn back then in Hawaii?"

"Well, I would be cooking but I couldn't serve that to my mother…" Mako said, reminded that her mother was sick, and if she served her cooking to her, it might worsen her sickness, "So most of the time we had to depend on a hired chef… Who doesn't seem to be a good teacher."

"Hey, Takeru… this is for lunch?" Gai asked, his hand shaking as he was about to pick up a pair of chopsticks, "Compared to Remi's attempt back then…"

"Hey!" Remi reminded, in which Gai instantly shut his mouth.

"Huh? What is wrong with Remi's attempt?" Mako asked, curious, "I don't get it."

"Well, you see, last time she cooked and…" Youhei was about to answer, but Remi answered it for him.

"My cooking sucked." She said, "I know that well, but you don't need to tell her that. I can tell her on my own."

"I know, but it can't go wrong, right, Mako?" Miki tried to cheer the situation up, "You told me you liked cooking. I'm sure it'll be at least good, right?"

Takeru sighed, looking at Miki's optimism. 'You didn't know the terror yet… Or maybe you're starting to become like Kotoha, bonding with her to the point you're immune to her cooking.'

"Regardless, we should eat for the moment." Sayaka said as she picked up some mushroom from the sukiyaki, "We'll be the judge later."

"Right… Let's eat then." Takeru said as the rest picked up the food and started eating…

And as Takeru would expect, the second they put the food on their mouth, they sensed that something is totally wrong… it's near unedible… As a result, most of them were choking on their neck, feeling very squeamish and felt like puking, but they managed to swallow their food.

"Ugh… my… mouth…" Gai muttered, "Even if I'm a dead man walking, this is too much…"

"I don't think I can take another bite…" Youhei added.

"Sorry, Mako… I take back my words." Miki said with regret, "This is just not good, I'm being honest…"

Sayaka was speechless, there's practically nothing she could say on just how bad it was. Takeru was feeling a little better, but perhaps that was because he already know what Mako's cooking was like and just how bad was it. 'They're unprepared…'

"I suppose that didn't turn out well…" Mako sighed, seeing at how the team reacted, "I'm getting rusty…"

"Rusty or not…" Sayaka suddenly said, gathering all the willpower she could and got up, "You still got ways to go to make a good food. But don't be disheartened, you can succeed!"

"Thanks, Sayaka." Mako said, trying to smile despite the failure, "But sometimes, I suppose passion and knowledge is not enough."

"Cooking is not just about how you cook your food." Sayaka added, "There are factors like choosing your ingredients and choosing the right foods that you need to take account for. Don't worry about that, if you want, I can teach you. In fact, why don't we take a trip to the market for now? I'll teach you how to pick good ingredients."

"Really? I'd love to!" Mako said, glad that someone was willing to help. However, she was reminded with something, and looked at the only one who hadn't said a thing… Dai. "Um… Dai? You… about my food."

"Huh? Your food? I got no problems." Dai's answer shocked the rest.

"Eeeh? !" Remi looked at him, "Dai, is your stomach made of iron or something? ! That must've been a super stomach…"

"Well… maybe because I've had worse back in the days… pellets." And Dai's further answer shocked the rest of the team, "Back in Flash Star, we always eat nutritious pellets for our daily meal. It didn't taste good, but it still helps with our nutrition and training. That's why back then when I returned to Earth, we were really enjoying the delicacies in Earth. Sure, this food of yours didn't taste as good compared to other Earth foods, but it still tastes better than the pellets!"

"That was a very blunt opinion, Dai." Gai said, also looking at him, "But ladies usually won't like it. In fact, it could've been hurting Mako's heart because you said that."

"It's OK, Gai." Mako reassured, "If it doesn't taste good, he shouldn't lie about it."

"Uh… so are there any other foods here?" Youhei asked, hoping that at least there's some extra.

"I think we spent the last of them and we have to buy for the moment." Sayaka said as she headed to the door, "So just wait for it. Let's go, Mako."

"Okay, let's." Mako approached Sayaka and eventually they left the room.

"Urgh, my poor stomach…" Youhei sighed as he held his stomach.

"There should be some bread in the refrigerator." Takeru mentioned, "It might not be much, but we can use and share that until Sayaka and Mako return."

"Sounds good… I'll go prepare them then." Miki said as she headed to the refrigerator and started preparing three breads to be shared.

"And I thought the food would be restoring my strength from that training." Remi complained as before eating, she was doing some training in the outdoor with Dai. She then scratched her neck, "And man, that mosquito bite really itches…"

"It's just a bite, right?" Dai said, "It'll pass on eventually, don't worry."

"I know, but it's still pretty annoying." Remi replied as all they could do was to wait.

"Say, Takeru…" Gai then asked Takeru once he felt like his stomach got better, "How long have you been with Mako?"

"Huh?" Takeru asked, "Just a year, I guess. Just when we're fighting Gedoushuu."

"Sure you're just friends?" Youhei added, "I thought if this is the case, by now you and Mako would be…" And before he could finish, Takeru interrupted with several sharp, stern words.

"She's not my girlfriend. Period."

After awhile, Sayaka and Mako did come back with more ingredients and at the moment, Sayaka was the one cooking. She took her time and taught what she could to Mako about cooking, and promised to give her some practices and lectures so she could try it out herself.

However, all those did not escape the attention of the villains… in particular a trio of Mazurka, Doldora and Lee Keflen. "Heh heh… That Green Flash wouldn't know what's coming to him. Our first strike is a success." Lee Keflen muttered, seeing all the Super Sentai spending their time in bliss.

"So I take that everything is in place…" Mazurka said, looking at an open space, which all of the sudden, something grew big, a flea-like monster, "The Flaezu."

The Flaezu, a monster created by enhancing the creation of what would be the Flea Mozoo enhanced with Lee Keflen's Life Synthesizer. In a way, it was the same as combining with Doldora's machine. Various lifeforms were combined in the DNA of The Flaezu, but the DNA of the small but nimble flea was the dominant one, thus creating a creature that can shrink.

"Yes. The parasite has been set into the body of that woman…!" Said The Flaezu as the vision showed Remi, who was scratching the back of her neck while sleeping. "All we need is just the modification by the Professor of Zone and all is set."

"Heh heh… I should've realized this earlier. That Green Flash reminded me of someone." Doldora said as he headed to a computer where she started typing there revealing someone on the screen, "Zone's First Captain… Chevalier!"

"Hmm…" Lee Keflen nodded, looking at the image of Chevalier, "Certainly, there are similarities between Green Flash and this Chevalier…"

"He's quite attractive…" Mazurka suddenly said in an enamored voice, "It's such a pity that he's not here… dead or whatever. I'd love to meet him in person…"

"Heh, I see you can't even resist his charm. I know how it felt." Doldora said, reminded that the first time Chevalier showed himself, all ladies of Zone starting from herself to Zaza to Medon, which was actually the battleship Vulgyre itself, all of them fell and swooned to the charisma of Chevalier. "I bet if Ahames and Jarmin see this, they'll end up the same."

"Ahem!" Lee Keflen coughed up, breaking the silence, "Ladies, this is no time for swooning. So what do you plan with this?"

"Ah, of course. The Flaezu has infected Five Yellow a semi-mechanical parasite that can be activated from here." Mazurka explained, "Once activated…"

"Then she will not see that Green Flash anymore." Doldora continued, "But instead, she will just see her old enemy Chevalier! And so, there will be a discontent between the team that will weaken them from the inside, and that is when we strike!"

"Yep, and if we're lucky, one of them will die!" The Flaezu added.

"Remember that this won't work to the others. Regardless, if this plan succeeds, then the Super Sentai will be tremendously weakened, thus as Doldora said… our chance." Lee Keflen concluded. If one or both of them were to die, then the team would be weakened. "So how shall this proceed?"

"Simple enough. Activation Wave… launch." Doldora said as she typed some buttons from the computer and eventually sent out waves heading out to the surface…

Shortly after, during her naptime, Remi was suddenly sweating. Her rest becoming uneasy as if she was having a nightmare. "Ugh… agh…! No… you… you're dead…!" She started mumbling, and afterwards, she catapulted herself upwards, finally waking up as she let out a scream, "EEEK!" Realizing that it was only a dream, Remi was breathing heavily. 'A nightmare… I can't believe it… it's like he's back or something…' She thought, apparently the nightmare was about fighting someone, a fight for her very own life. She was glad that it was only a nightmare rather than reality, as she started dressing in her casual yellow vest and black shirt.

There was a knock on her door and a male voice asking, "Remi, are you okay? You're screaming."

"I'm fine…" Remi answered as she opened the door. It was actually Dai, but in a sudden, Remi took steps backwards, frightened at him. "No…! No! You, you're back…? !"

"Back?" Dai asked, confused, "What are you talking about?"

"You won't do as you please, Chevalier!" Remi yelled as she punched Dai right on the face, knocking him away.

"Chevalier? Who is that?" Dai asked as he rubbed his cheek, but then he saw Remi running forward and attempting to drop her heel onto his stomach, "Wait, Remi! It's me, Dai! Don't you recognize me? !"

"Stop running away, Chevalier! If you're a man, fight like one!" Remi yelled. Rather than seeing Dai, all she saw was the image of Chevalier, her old enemy, and he was playfully and cockily dodging all of Remi's attacks to him.

"I am NOT Chevalier! I am Dai, Green Flash of Choushinsei Flashman!" Dai corrected, swiping away every punches Remi threw at him, "Get it right!" But what Remi heard was nothing but further taunts by Chevalier. She continued to throw her punches and kicks, to the point that even various items like glasses which was in the way, whenever Dai dodged her attack, were shattered when she punched them.

Eventually, when the fight reached the kitchen, it was around that time Youhei came in. "Ugh, so hungry, I guess I could grab some… Oh dear, what the hell is happening here? !"

"Youhei! Good timing! A little help here? !" Dai called him, "Remi is acting really weird!"

Seeing that it seemed that Remi was the only one on offensive, Youhei quickly got over her and grabbed her fist, "Remi, what went wrong here?"

"Youhei, stand back! I don't know where Dai was taken, but stop protecting Chevalier!" Remi insisted. In her mind, she feared that Youhei was brainwashed.

"Chevalier? What are you talking about? This is Dai, our friend!" Youhei corrected, but it seemed that Remi became deaf to reasons.

"Oh, I see how it is. You are brainwashing Youhei too, Chevalier? !" Remi suddenly declared, "Youhei, wake up already and fight the enemy!"

"What? ! How about YOU wake up? !" Youhei asked, "There's no one named Chevalier here!"

And it was soon that the room was entered by Miki and Gai. "Youhei, what's with the commotion? Oh no…!" Miki gasped when she looked at how things unraveled. She quickly went to Remi and restrained her from behind. "Remi! Calm yourself!"

"You guys! What the heck is going on here? !" Gai approached the boys and asked.

"I don't know in details, but all of a sudden, Remi started attacking me and claiming that I am a guy named 'Chevalier'." Dai answered, "She also claims that Youhei has been brainwashed. What went wrong here? If anything, I thought she would've been the one brainwashed."

"Brainwashed? But how?" Youhei asked, "We haven't fought anything, have we?"

"Did you say 'Chevalier'?" A voice was heard and at that point, Takeru entered the room, all while both Sayaka and Mako arrived to help Miki restrain Remi who was screaming that everyone's being brainwashed, "Well this does have a connection somewhat. But first, we've got to secure Remi a little."

"Heh, that." Gai nodded, "I do know one way for her to stay put and we can discuss things…"

And shortly after, Remi found herself locked in a room, sitting on a chair and tied there. She kept flailing her body around as she was locked there. "Let me go! Wake up, all of you, you're being tricked! Let me go!" She continued to scream, as the team could only look at her from the outside through the door's glass window. And one moment Dai popped his head to the door's window, Remi had nothing but even further screams, "You'll pay for this, Chevalier! You'll pay!"

"Gai, was this really necessary?" Miki asked, looking at how Remi continued to struggle, "I mean, tying her up like this…"

"Don't worry, it works just fine. I've had such incident that time." Gai said, knowing that a berserked teammate had to be restrained until a way to calm them down have been removed, as it happened when his ally Hayasaka Ako, otherwise known as Blue Swallow, was infected with a rage-inducing beam and had to be tied and locked up similarly until she got over the rage.

"Gah, this is depressing…" Dai said, lamenting of what became of Remi, "Why did this have to happen to her? And last time we were just having fun together…"

"Do you suppose she's been acting weird lately?" Mako asked, trying to inquire what happened.

"Hm, nothing. Except complaining about an itch…" Dai said until someone came up with a guess.

"That might be it!" Youhei was the one trying to suggest, "Suppose Radiguet sent out a mosquito-like monster that bit her while in outdoors! Gah, he's getting ahead of us…"

"It could make sense. But… why did she claim me to be this 'Chevalier'?" Dai was still confused, "If that is what the monster gave to her, we have to know its process…"

"Chevalier… well I knew the name was kind of familiar." Takeru mentioned as at his hand was the History of Super Sentai book, "Take a look at this." He started opening to the Fiveman section. The book also stored the enemies that fought against the Super Sentai thus Chevalier was listed there. "She could be referring to this Chevalier."

"Wow… he's quite the looker." Miki made a comment, followed by Mako.

"I agree. There's something striking about him… Chevalier, isn't he…"

"Ladies." Gai tried to get their attention back, "Stop joking. I look better than him, obviously!"

"You're joking!" Both Miki and Mako said in unison, glaring at Gai, until they realized that they were swooning over the picture of an enemy of Super Sentai, "… Oh."

"Nice save, Gai…" Takeru muttered, glad that the situation didn't dwindle into the girls swooning over Chevalier. "Regardless, Dai… found some connection?"

"Hm… certainly he looks a little familiar…" Dai started imagining after he looked at the picture of Chevalier, until he was shocked by a revelation, "Wait a minute! Remove the head accessories and the makeups and… I think he looks like me when I look into mirrors!"

"That means whatever this monster is, he's making Remi think Dai is Chevalier because they have the same face? !" Youhei guessed again, "Then how do we find out about…"

"I think I know a way, sort of." Sayaka, who wasn't in the same room, suddenly entered the room through the door, and spoke, "I've investigated the surrounding area around Remi's room. It seems there are some weird waves coming off from her body… It's like it's affecting her body from the inside, especially the brain."

"Whatever that thing emitting those waves, I'm gonna…" Dai was cracking his knuckles, angered that such thing was inside Remi and wrecking her mind, until Takeru put his hand on his shoulder to calm down.

"Crush it with your fist? I don't think so." Takeru warned, "What if you cripple Remi on the way? Know your overwhelming strength."

"Tch…" All Dai could do was to bit his lips that he couldn't do a thing about it. However, at that moment, the alarm started to ring.

"Ugh, this is a bad timing for this!" Gai sighed, "But we don't have a choice. Let's get down there."

"I'll stay." Sayaka opted to back out, "I still have to inspect these waves further. With luck, I may be able to come up with a conclusion."

"We're counting on you, Sayaka!" Dai said as he tried to hurry down there, but he was instead stopped yet again, this time by Mako.

"No, Dai. You stay too." She reminded, "Maybe it's just me guessing, but I think what Remi needs the most aside of Sayaka's efforts… is your presence, Dai."

"Huh? How does that make sense?" Dai asked, a little confused, "At this rate, she'll only think of me as this Chevalier!"

"No, but if you're here… you can keep trying to assure her that you're you, not Chevalier." Mako replied, "Perhaps your presence and encouragement from your very mouth can help her a little…"

"I think Mako makes a good point." Miki nodded, agreeing, "Sayaka may be able to provide physical help, but the one who can help her spiritually the most is you, Dai. And Remi needs both."

"No worries about us, Dai." Youhei also added, tapping his shoulder, "I'll try to make up the physical powerhouse you left behind until you guys came back."

"Hey, don't get cocky here. You're not the only powerhouse here." Gai reminded Youhei to not overestimate his own strength, but it was then everyone else's chatter was cut short by Takeru.

"Enough. We depart."

As the alarm directed them, they were sent to a park… which was surprisingly empty. "Hm?" Mako was confused, "I would've expected that they're terrorizing citizens."

"That's because they would rather wipe us out first." Gai answered, which in turn surprised Mako, "I think that's what Radiguet aimed now, they'd rather target us first so they're free to terrorize the Earth once we're gone."

"Now that you said it, I remembered." Mako nodded, reminded with her days serving under Radiguet. She remembered that Radiguet often said on how the Super Sentai was an obstacle to whatever plan they got in conquering Earth and decided that for starters, they must defeat the Super Sentai first, "So if they're targeting the innocents, it's solely to lure us out?"

"Yeah, that's the way it is, now." Youhei answered, "I'm sure that it's not just Radiguet who shared such sentiments."

"Except Juzou, probably." Takeru added, "But it doesn't change much."

"This looks like an empty challenge." Miki noticed, as she saw not one soldier in any form appearing at all, "So why are they…"

"Ergh…" Mako suddenly felt uneasy, looking around, "Something feels off…"

"Are you okay, Mako?" Takeru asked, noticing Mako's uneasy movement.

"It's probably just an itch, it's ok—Kyaah!" All of the sudden, Mako screamed. Not exactly a scream of pain, but more like a scream of being surprised and embarrassed. She started putting her hand on her front body as she started moving her body around.

"Mako!" Miki approached her and tried to calm her down, "What is it? !"

"It's just… it's just…!" Mako stammered as her hands started reaching her breasts, "It's like there's some creature stuck in my breasts! It's bigger than a normal fly or mosquito…!"

"Eew!" Youhei said in a bit of a horror as he saw Mako trying to swat down that creature by slapping the area near her breasts. "Okay this goes from sexy to just way past creepy." He declared.

"Wait, perhaps…!" Takeru realized what's going on, "The monster is one that has a very small size…!"

"Hahahaha!" There was a laugh heard. It was heard from Mako. "Indeed, you are a smart one! To detect me, The Flaezu!"

"Damn it, you coward! Stop hiding behind women and face us like a man!" Gai yelled out.

"On the contrary, my friend, I am not a man…" The Flaezu, still stuck within Mako's body, "I am a monster! But I do appreciate this … thing… you call it 'breasts'? Round and soft, this one I'm standing at…"

"What kind of sick monster did Radiguet send? !" Even Mako was losing patience, her face all red as she continued flailing her body, and trying to slap parts around her breasts, "Get off my breasts, you pervert…! Or you'll regret it…!" She tried her best to stay as calm, but no women would've been that calm if they were touched in such parts.

"Ooh, okay, I think I'll get out of your body, but I wanna make it more special." As The Flaezu said, he flew from Mako's breasts, but still hadn't get out of her body. "Hmm, hmm, where's a good spot… aha!" He eventually reached her back. He stood there and suddenly, he took several spot jump, "And up I goooo!"

"AAAAAHHH!" Mako screamed once more as she fell to her knees, this time no longer a scream of embarrassment, but instead a scream of pain.

"Mako! Are you…!" Takeru approached Mako as he tried to help her get up, but then he was horrified with what he saw, "Mako… your back…" When The Flaezu jumped, it tore a part of Mako's cloth from the back, revealing a hole that revealed some of her back. From there, rather than the usual skin color of hers, Takeru saw a red color… like someone being beaten up.

"I'm fine… torn clothes can be sewn back…" Mako said, breathing heavily.

"Not that! Your back… it's like you've been hit quite a lot…" Takeru corrected.

"Oh… that. It sure took time to heal." Mako said, realizing what he meant, "Radiguet's friend, the one with the whip, she used to whip me in regular basis in case I didn't do something satisfactory for them. Which happened a lot. But don't worry about it, I'm fine now, Takeru."

"DAMN THAT JARMIIIN!" Instead, they heard Youhei screaming. As apparently, now The Flaezu was inside his clothes and he was flailing around to get him off.

"Woo-hoo. Nice muscles you got there, my boy." The Flaezu said, "Now I wonder in which part I should hop into…"

"Don't you dare do that – Whoa!" Youhei flailed around, but luck wasn't on his side as his leg tripped. And unfortunately Miki was on his way as he ended up tackling her and both fell together.

"Urrgh…" Youhei grunted as he tried getting up. It seemed that The Flaezu has left his body, but then he felt like he was in some sort of soft bed. "What the…" He got up slowly, raising his head, as he saw Miki in front of him, speechless and her face was all red. Youhei looked down… and realized that he must've fallen above her, and especially his head was laying inbetween her breasts, "Oh… crap."

"Youhei, you pervert!" Miki screamed as she slapped Youhei across his cheek, knocking him away, "You can't just…!"

"I didn't do it on purpose!" Youhei protested as he got up, before cleaning up his clothes, checking again if The Flaezu has left his body, "Look, you can scold me as you like, but that should wait later, until this flea-whatever is beaten!"

"Oh…" Miki coughed up a bit as she got up, trying to keep her composure. Even if she had to concentrate, that one moment was extremely embarrassing for her. "But where did he go?"

"I'm over heeeere…!" The Flaezu's taunting voice could be heard, this time from Gai's body.

"What? ! You bastard, now you get off me, or else!" Gai yelled as he started flailing, trying to squish the monster.

"Caaaan't dooo...!" The Flaezu said in a sing-along note as if taunting him, flying around, until he reached a lower part… "Oh, where is this? Below the stomach, I see something… sticking…"

"Ooh, not over there you bastard!" Gai was angered as he knew where the monster was going… his crotch. However, clouded by anger, Gai delivered one chop as strong as he could, aimed to his crotch. However, in the moment before the chop hit, The Flaezu already left through Gai's pants, leaving Gai's crotch to be hit with his chop… on full force. "ACK! Urrrgh…!" Gai slumped down, holding his crotch, "God damn it, if I can see him, I'm gonna… I'm gonna rip him a new one… limb to limb…!"

"Ookay, I wonder if I should go over the last guy?" The Fleazu, now outside, said, looking over Takeru, "You don't know where I am… You can't detect me… I'm gonna be free to enter your body and you will flail yourself to death…!"

"Not gonna happen." Takeru said as he suddenly drew his Shodo Phone, "Ippitsu Soujou!" He quickly transformed into Shinken Red. In the same time, The Flaezu quickly made a beeline flying to Shinken Red, but when he reached there.

"Ah, damn it! Why is this cloth of yours so damn tight? !" The Flaezu complained as Shinken Red's tight outfit made the monster unable to infiltrate.

"That's it! If we transform, he won't be able to penetrate through!" Miki finally deduced, "Everyone, let's do it!"

"OK!" Youhei and Mako nodded with full spirit, while Gai had to struggle with his pain to answer such thing in his condition.

"Blue Turbo!"

"Goggle Pink!"

"Ippitsu Soujou!"

"C-Cross… C-Changer…!"

Eventually everyone managed to transform. However, The Flaezu was still confident. "So, you just managed to prevent me entering your clothes… you think you beat me this way? I'll show you the true terror of The Flaezu…"

"Bring it. We are not scared of you." Shinken Red beckoned.

"Okay, first, quiz time!" The Flaezu said, "Can you see me? Do you know where I am?"

The question brought the team to silence. At this moment, The Flaezu was too small for their eyes to see. After minutes, nobody gave an answer. "Can't answer, can you? That's because I am as small as a flea! Now, I'll just attack you till you die!"

"Hah! What can a flea like you…" Black Condor beckoned, but suddenly, he felt like being kicked with a small thing right on his head, knocking him down, "Oof!"

"Gai!" Blue Turbo called out, but then it's his turn, he felt that he's punched on the stomach, knocking him down.

"Hahaha! You can't see me!" The Flaezu taunted as he continued to rain down many attacks with his tiny body to nearly everyone.

"If we cannot attack at one point, we may have to damage the surrounding…" Shinken Pink stepped forward, already transforming her Shinkenmaru to her Heaven Fan.

"Ooh, but you know where I am first?" The Flaezu taunted, but it's exactly what she wanted to hear.

"Over there. Heaven Fan, Hakuryoku Manten!" Swinging her fan, Shinken Pink created a strong whirlwind force that blew the surrounding.

"NOOOO!" The Flaezu screamed, seemingly hit. Shinken Pink sighed in relief that she was able to defeat it, but the relief was too short-lived, when she heard a voice that kept getting louder and louder, "I'm over heeeeereeee!"

"What? !" Before she could even act, Shinken Pink felt like being kicked from behind, and she collapsed. As she was kicked at the very back where she was wounded, she felt immense pain as she was having a hard time to get back up, "But that was…"

"That scream? Oh, I was just messing around with you." The Flaezu answered, "I'm just THAT fast compared to you slowpokes! I'm faster than the wind itself you know!"

"No matter how fast you are, there has to be a weakness!" Goggle Pink ensured, at least trying to keep everyone's spirits up.

"Yeah. Maybe, but you'll only find out in the afterlife!" As The Flaezu answered, he instead barraged Goggle Pink from attacks from all sides until she also collapsed. As he looked around, he saw Shinken Red standing silently. "Heh? What's that stance? Already resigned to your death? Oh well, wish granted!"

As The Flaezu flew, Shinken Red kept silent. At this rate, all he could do was to clear his mind and detect the heat source of The Flaezu, and then strike at the determined position. "There!" Eventually recognizing where The Flaezu was flying, he swung his Shinkenmaru sideways…

But suddenly, he was hit from the other side. "What? ! But you…!"

"Hahahaha! You think I'm gonna fall for that? ! I've seen a lot of incidents like that!" The Flaezu boasted, "Guy calms his mind to detect the enemy through the heat source and used only his instinct on where to strike. Well, too bad, but I knew that coming! This short life I'm created, Dr Lee Keflen sure has provided me enough information enough for my mighty brain to process and come up with a solution!"

"No… way…" Blue Turbo lamented as everything they tried, they were unable to counter this monster.

"We can't give up now…! Miki is right…" Shinken Red reminded, "The chance will present itself if we wait. We must… endure…!"

"Oh, very well then! I wonder if you stupid drunkards can endure the severe and slow beating by a flea!" As The Flaezu said that, he started attacking the Super Sentai once more, but even if they were reduced into random flailing of their weapons, all they could do was to hold on and take all the attacks given by the monster…

"Is… this monster designed to be like this?" Back in the enemy's hideout, Doldora watched the whole battle, but she couldn't help but be confused, "Truly, it is an effective one, what with the skill to shrink one's self and contain the same strength as the original size along with witty and savvy brain, but…" Shortly after, the screen switched into the times when The Flaezu was inhabiting Mako's breasts, as well as flying towards Gai's crotch, causing him to deliver a chop to his groin. "For some reason, why do I feel like this monster is created with dirty thoughts in mind?"

"All just coincidence." Lee Keflen assured, "Perhaps one of the minor gene I used on him was from a creature from other planet which made him like that…" In the meantime, Mazurka restored the screen so it went back into The Flaezu laying a handy beating towards the Super Sentai.

"Thus far he's doing good. I hope he does not show weakness." Mazurka stated, "If this continues, Super Sentai will perish by our hands, not Radiguet's! Then he'll know not to think of himself so highly!"

"Intriguing, Mazurka." Lee Keflen suddenly added, "Thus far, the man proved himself to be quite an unpleasant one. This collaboration between us will show him his place… definitely."

'It seems that everyone here dislikes Radiguet… Heh, as I would expect, our alliance was really thin after all.' Doldora thought as she saw both Mazurka and Lee Keflen agreeing on the common thing, 'The fool deserved it, though. I don't care who does it, just so long as someone humbles that irritating high and mighty attitude of his…'

"This is bad…" Aside of trying to detect on the waves coming out from Remi's body and pinpointing the source, Sayaka was also observing the battle and realized that the Super Sentai was losing, "At this rate, even if I find the solution for Remi, we still can't beat him…"

"You can't give up like that, Sayaka!" Dai encouraged, "We'll have to do what we can do!"

"But… but I've tried searching intensely, but the source of that brain wave… they seem impossible to detect!" Sayaka lamented, saddened that she was unable to detect the source, "We can't be sure if it's from a biological or a mechanical source, if it's the former… then it might be a very hard task to plug it out. And in the meantime…"

"Agh, damn it!" Dai finally couldn't take it anymore and he walked away after smashing his fist to a nearby table.

"Dai, wait!" Sayaka called him off, but she then realized that Dai was opening the room where Remi was being held.

"What do you want? !" Remi yelled at Dai, still thinking he's Chevalier, "You won't get away with this, Chevalier! Why don't you untie me and we'll settle this!"

"Very well. Perhaps if that's what will satisfy you…" Dai said as he then grabbed the restraints binding Remi and with one pull, he broke them away, "Fine, Remi! Now hit me as much as you like!"

"AAAHH!" As she got up, Remi then launched a punch onto Dai's face. Unlike before, however, Dai wasn't even dodging. He let her fist fly onto his face and he didn't even move his body as Remi continued to pummel him near-savagely.

"Remi! Stop!" Sayaka yelled, unable to witness the savage beating further. She took a step forward, determined to put an end to this. However…

"No, don't!" Dai rebuked as Remi just kicked him on the stomach, "Trust me, I can manage this…!"

"Dai, it's all right! You don't need to do this!" Sayaka said as she approached the restraints. If necessary, she'd put Remi back to the chair where she was tied before, "I'll try harder to find the solution for the waves! Don't throw your well-being away for this!"

"Don't do it! I can do this…!" Dai said as the beating continued, "This is where my toughness I got from the harsh training of Green Star come to use!" At that point, Sayaka realized that Dai got a point. Thus she nodded and decided to trust Dai in his method, even if she was horrified seeing Remi beating the crap out of Dai.

Eventually it came to a point that Dai was lying on the ground, and Remi was standing in front of him. "You won't threaten us again, Chevalier. Go back to the hell where you belong…" Remi stated as she raised her fist, "Prepare your ticket back to hell!" With speed, she tried crushing Dai on the head.

However… at the very last second, she hesitated. Her fist was just a centimeter away from Dai's head. "Why are you… why aren't you fighting back?" Remi suddenly asked. Until then she realized that if this was truly Chevalier, he'd at least form up a resistance, either blocking or attacking. 'This is not something Chevalier would do. He NEVER lets himself get beaten up that easily… wait, what am I thinking? !'

She looked at Dai closer, until she came to a realization, "Dai…? ! But you… you look… AAAH!" Suddenly, she was hit with a headache. Clutching her head, she screamed as she rolled around in the ground.

"Remi!" Sayaka approached her, trying to calm her down, "It's okay… it's okay…! You were just having a nightmare!"

"That's… that's Chevalier… but… but that's… Dai…!" Inbetween screaming, Remi was muttering. She was completely confused, but unknown to her, remembering Dai's face brought back the short time she fought together with him as well as the other times she interacted with him, such as when she invited him for lunch in the day he found his father, spying on the date of Gai and Sayaka, accompanied with Youhei, and recently sparring together. This triggered something in her body, her antibody cells were reacting, strengthened with her feelings. It overwhelmed the parasite inside her body and eventually, Remi ended up passing out, unconscious.

Several minutes later, she heard people calling her. "Remi… Remi…"

"Uh… Sayaka?" Remi muttered as she slowly opened her eyes, "Where am I?"

"A lot of things happened." Sayaka said as she saw Dai already up and approaching him, "Let's just say you just woke up from a long nightmare."

"Nightmare…?" As Remi said that, she saw Dai approaching her. And in her eyes, it was truly Dai, "Dai? Whoa, what's with your face?"

"Those were some nice punches, you threw. You beat me up good." Dai said casually.

"Oh dear, what have I done…? !" Remi was shocked regardless as she quickly got up, inspecting on the wounds Dai got, "This… Did I do this?"

"Uh huh. You kept thinking I'm this 'Chevalier'…" Dai answered, but at that point, Remi quickly hugged him, "Ow!" Dai yelped a little, as the wounds he got felt more painful when he's hugged.

"I'm sorry, Dai! It… it's all true…! It's my fault!" Remi said, saddened and angry at what she did, "I… I truly thought you were that Chevalier in that… 'nightmare'… We had a history together as enemies, and when I looked at your face, for some reason it was his face that I saw… triggering some rage within me… I'm sorry…"

"But it's over, Remi. Dai is fine, you were just having a nightmare. And I'm sure he's not mad at you." Sayaka tried to reassure her, as Dai nodded confidently, "See? He's tougher than you think. He'll be fine. Training from Green Star, right?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, no problem!" Dai assured, "But probably because of that monster you got into that nightmare."

"Monster?" Remi asked, confused, until she remembered the itch she got earlier, "Wait a minute… you mean, that itch I got was from a monster? !"

"Apparently." Sayaka said, starting her briefing, "It seems that the monster is of a small size and spread a parasite in your body emitting waves to disrupt your brain into thinking that Dai is in fact Chevalier, taking advantage of their similarity."

"Oh, I see…" Remi nodded, finally understanding the situation, until she quickly got mad enough, "How dare that bastard do that to me! I'll make him pay!"

"Well that could prove to be a problem. You see…" As Sayaka said that, she gestured to Remi and Dai to the computer room once more and showed the footage of the rest of the Super Sentai not faring very well against The Flaezu. "They're fighting a losing battle with that small monster who seemed to be able to predict our attacks."

"Not often we get a monster that savvy…" Dai commented.

"Wait, able to predict our attacks?" Remi's brain for fighting suddenly was flared up, "Sayaka… I think I know just how to beat that kind of creature…"

In the meantime, the team was horribly beaten, to the point that all of them were de-morphed. "Urgh…!" Takeru grunted as he desperately tried to get up.

"Ngyahahaha! Look at that, tiny little me, kicking the ass of Super Sentai!" The Flaezu boasted as he flew around here and there.

"You coward… Why don't you even try fighting us on the same ground? !" Youhei yelled at him.

"Nuh-uh! Why bother with some stupid chivalry when this is way more advantageous?" The Flaezu was unfazed, preferring his normal tactic of being so small and hard to predict. "Okay, enough toying around, time for you all to die!"

"Hold it!" A female voice was heard and as everyone looked at their behinds, they saw Remi standing up. And on her hand was… a gourd full of wine.

"Remi!" Miki called, "You… you're all right?"

"Hey, you bug monster!" Remi said bravely, pointing at the front, not really sure where The Flaezu was, but she's pointing at the general direction of where she thought he's in. "You wanna try me? Go ahead and enter my body again if you want!"

"It's you again!" The Flaezu beckoned, "This time, I'm not just gonna put those parasites in you! I'll do more…"

"Oh yeah? Bring it!" As Remi said that, she raised her gourd… and started drinking the wine in there. As a result, her face turned red as she groggily walked forward, flailing her fists here and there.

"Remi, what the heck? !" Gai yelled, "Stop acting cool with some drunken clown act!"

"In this situation, you can't just un-drunk the drunkard…" Takeru reminded.

"It's all right, Gai." Mako noted, trying to reassure him, "I think she's planned more than just getting drunk for some drunken fist act…"

"Die!" The Flaezu flew straight to kick Remi on the stomach. But due to her drunkenness, her flailing fist became unpredictable even for him as he got swatted, "Whaa! Damn, you got lucky!" The Flaezu lamented as he tried dashing in again, but then Remi just fell down backwards, meanwhile raising her legs to the point of kicking The Flaezu. "Damn it!" He tried dashing to her again when she got up.

"Hic!" After one hiccup, Remi just swung her gourd, and it hit The Flaezu, knocking it away.

"Gah! Why am I getting this slow…! No, all of it are just luck! I'm sure of it!" The Flaezu, irritated with how Remi continued to outwit him, charged once more, but Remi ended up just spinning around… occasionally opening the gourd, and she ended up having The Flaezu enter the gourd, in which, she quickly closed it.

"What? !" The Flaezu said, as he realized he's stuck. However, the strong smell of the remaining wine stung his nose. "This smell…! Oh now I remember… Damn it! This is bad! Let me out of here!" The Flaezu was not as invincible as he thought. Some things he hated were alcohol and wine, and if exposed with such thing, he would weaken.

"Naaaauuuggghhttyy booyyy…! Hic!" Remi said groggily while 'scolding' The Flaezu, "Now teeeaaacher –hic!– is gonna –hic!– spaaaank yooouu gooooodd!" With that, she held the gourd with both hands and started spinning around, all the while shaking the gourd, causing the wine inside started to rumble, dragging and drowning The Flaezu inside.

"Aaah! Stop! Stop! Not the wine! Not the wiiiine!" The Flaezu begged, but no such luck.

"You got him good, Remi." In the meantime, the heroes approached Remi as she felt like just shaking the gourd for laughs while she lay on the ground. Youhei congratulated her, "So I guess that drunken fist thing was your plan all along!"

"I suppose she did that to create an unpredictability to match the monster's savvy traits." Miki concluded, "But I hope that her other problem with Dai…"

All of the sudden, there was some light coming out from the gourd. "Oooh… shiny –hic!– gourd!" Remi exclaimed, still drunk. But in the same time, suddenly the others saw Sayaka and Dai running to them.

"It's time!" Dai said as he forcefully grabbed the gourd and threw it away.

"Heeey, my dear gourd…" Remi muttered, not really happy that her gourd got thrown away. However, on Sayaka's hand was a big bottle of water, in which she quickly opened and had Remi drink it until she started shaking her head, "Pfftoo! Sayaka! That's enough! I could get my stomach big with nothing but water this way!"

"You're gonna need water to get rid of your drunkenness." Sayaka claimed as Remi looked around, and felt like she wasn't as drunk.

"Took you kinda long enough to appear!" Gai exclaimed, "What kept you?"

"Oh, we've been here all along, Gai." Sayaka explained, "Just that, if we appear with Remi, we fear that the monster would get to us instead of concentrating to her, so we had to hide for a bit."

As they spoke, suddenly the light from the gourd became brighter as suddenly, it exploded, revealing The Flaezu, now in normal size. "Agh, damn wine! Now my technique got screwed…"

"So that's you in your normal size. With your plan thwarted, I wonder if you still can fight." Takeru beckoned as the rest eventually lined up. He then looked at Remi, "Remi, will you be okay?"

"No problem!" Remi said as she lightly elbowed Dai and smiled, "Right, Dai?"

"Of course!" Dai nodded in return.

"My, so you're really over that problem of thinking him as Chevalier?" Mako also asked.

"Yeah, and that freak is responsible for all those delusions!" Remi exclaimed as she pointed at The Flaezu, "How dare you make me turn against my friend by giving me delusions due to face similarity! Dai is Dai, not Chevalier!"

"Guess that means you're okay…" Takeru said as he eventually prepared his Shodo Phone, "Let's go."

"Ippitsu Soujou!"

"Blue Turbo!"

"Goggle Pink!"

"Cross Changer!"

"Change Mermaid!"

"Five Yellow!"

"Prism Flash! Shut Goggle!"

Thus the team transformed, ready to fight as they began their role calls.

"Shinken Red! Shiba Takeru."

"The same, Pink! Shiraishi Mako."

"The Samurai Sentai authorized by the Providence…" "Shinkenger! Go forth!"

"Blue Turbo!"

"Goggle Pink!"

"Black Condor!"

"Change Mermaid!"

"Five Yellow!"

"Green Flash!"

"We are… Super Sentai!"

"Why you! Spotmen! Zolors!" The Flaezu exclaimed as he raised his hand, summoning both Spotmen and Zolors soldiers, "Attack!"

And so the Super Sentai began their attack against the enemy soldiers. For this occasion, both Five Yellow and Green Flash were side by side, after all the 'bickering' they did. "Dai!" Five Yellow said after she kicked some Spotmen soldiers, "You know, after all this, I do admit that it's fun fighting with you!"

"Yep!" Green Flash said as he just grabbed two Zolors on the neck and smashed their heads together, "Kinda like our sparring, huh? Just no holding back this time!"

"Damn it!" The Flaezu lamented as he saw the soldiers being beaten. However, he remembered something. "Ah, I know! You guys!" As The Flaezu said that, he pointed towards Shinken Pink, "Attack that one! On the back!"

The Spotmen in question were carrying several guns. And together with the Zolors and their acid spits, they targeted at Shinken Pink when she was not facing them. However, their attacks ended up being deflected with Shinken Red, who covered her while using Rekka Daizantou. "Takeru!" Shinken Pink exclaimed when she realized what's going on.

"Be careful. Your back is still hurt." Shinken Red noted, "I'll cover you."

"Thanks." As Shinken Pink nodded, both Shinkengers fought back to back against the incoming enemies.

"That does it! I have other things than just my punches! Like this!" As The Flaezu said that, he spread his arms, revealing some wings, which then launched several bullets from it. However, Blue Turbo quickly stood in front of the bullets, and started shooting all of them down with extreme precision, and with both his Turbo Laser and J-Gun. "Damn it! I knew I should've just used my punch!" As The Flaezu said that, he ran forward, but as he's not small, his speed has been drastically decreased to one of a normal running speed.

But then, he ended up being tied by Goggle Pink's Pink Ribbon. "Ribbon Spark!" And as she put her hand onto her ribbon, she let out an electricity to stun The Flaezu. And while he was still getting up, both Blue Turbo and Goggle Pink spread their arms, standing firm as both Black Condor and Change Mermaid leapt from their shoulders and attacked him with Wing Gauntlet and Change Sword respectively.

"Let's push further. Mako!" In the meantime, Shinken Red and Shinken Pink already got ready for another attack, as they spun their disks to their Shinkenmarus.

"Wait, wait!" The Flaezu suddenly begged, "Gimme a little time!"

"Kaen Tenkuu no Mai!" The two Shinkengers unleashed a combination attack by slashing their swords, sending red and pink waves that eventually circled around The Flaezu and created a flaming tornado which burnt the monster. Although he wasn't done for… yet. "Okay, that should weaken it to the limit. Time for this one." As Shinken Red said that, he unleashed another thing… the Super Sentai Ball. "Starting from you, Mako. You know how to use it?"

"I know, I've seen you guys practice." As Shinken Pink said that, the other team members was also getting ready as they went in formation, "Okay, here I go!" She then tossed the ball upwards and smacked it with Heaven Fan, heading to Black Condor, who punched it with Wing Gauntlet to Change Mermaid, who then bashed it with her shield, heading to both Blue Turbo and Goggle Pink, who used the sword version of his Turbo Laser and the Goggle Saber respectively to slash it to Shinken Red, who used his Rekka Daizantou to launch it upwards…

Which headed to both Green Flash, with Prism Kaiser ready, and Five Yellow, who already equipped the Five Tector for good measure. "And this is for getting us fight each other!" They yelled as they launched a powerful punch each, headed straight for The Flaezu.

"Curses! And I would've gotten away if it wasn't for that accursed wine!" As The Flaezu lamented, he then fell down and exploded.

"This brings the chapter…" Shinken Red claimed calmly, in which Shinken Pink followed.

"… to a close."

As the team returned back to Kizuna, the ladies were holed up in the infirmary as Miki was taking care of Mako's back wounds, going as much as having her open her upper clothes so she could apply bandages on her back to the front, and at least she still had her vital parts covered well with other bandages. "This is really severe…" Miki commented as she carefully applied her bandage, "But with this treatment, it'll get better faster, so don't worry, Mako."

"Thank you, Miki." Mako said to her, "Don't worry too much about me. I'll be fine."

"Perhaps you are fine… but your cooking… not yet." Sayaka mentioned, "Once you get better, let's get back to the kitchen. I still have a lot to teach about cooking. For your dreams, right?"

"I understand that too." Mako nodded as she smiled, "I swear that one day I will make a dish that won't knock people out."

"That's the spirit. Of course this goes without saying that… you shouldn't bring your Shinkenmaru to the kitchen." Sayaka once again said, remembering that in her previous teaching to Mako, she saw her trying to cut a cabbage with her Shinkenmaru, "You can't use it to cut dishes! There are ways to cut it with just a kitchen knife. I'll show you how to do it."

"I look forward to it as well." Mako replied, as she suddenly felt a little sting, but all she did was just gritting her teeth lightly, "Ow…"

"Sorry, Mako!" Miki apologized, although she was glad that Mako at least didn't move much. Mako just nodded, acknowledging the apology as Miki continued, "Say… what of Remi and Dai?"

"Well… I guess they're sparring again." Sayaka noted.

And indeed, Remi and Dai were sparring in the training room, watched by Takeru, Youhei and Gai. They were enjoying themselves as they continued to exchange blows, although at one point Remi scored a sweep kick that knocked Dai down. However, she lent her hand out with full of friendliness as Dai picked it up. The incident did not sour their relationship, but instead strengthened it and they swore to use it to fight evil. Fight! Our Super Sentai!

"Incredible… the power lies within my body…" Back in the lair of the villains, Jarmin, in a meeting with Ahames, was given something which seemed to enhance her strength.

"It is something important from me." Ahames said, "Use it well."

Super Sentai vs Super Sentai… will continue at Act 25

Author's note: Thus the filler ends. This is where the fact that Dai and Chevalier share the same actor get used. And yeah, Chevalier can 'charm' people even beyond his death.

And yeah, I'm taking some liberty on that new Shinkenger attack... Takeru and Mako never actually used a Kaen Tenkuu no Mai, I just kinda made that up myself. It translates to 'Heavenly Flame Dance'. Also, let's hope that Sayaka's tutoring on cooking work well for Mako and one day she'll be a fine cook here. Next chapter is probably 'filler', although going with what Jarmin gets... it may not bide very well. Oh well, bring on the constructive criticism!
