=LAST TIME!= Secchan cheered while standing on a display case in Jewel's museum =Kaito and the gang met Roll's old friend from back on Mobius: a very hyper friend named Tangle The Lemur and her friend Jewel= he cheered while flying around =But then a bunch of jerks from Mobius showed up and started all sorts of trouble. Just like Eggman, even Mobius had some bad seeds here and there who got dragged here, tune! But thankfully Kaito was there to do his part as our world's Hero…demo…Tangle seems to have fallen in love with the very concept, tune…=


"..." Yatsude looked around the dining table.

"Is everything alright, Yachan?" Roll asked, exiting the kitchen with a cup of tea for the older woman.

"It's the morning and it's too quiet for our normal bunch," Yatsude replied, narrowing her eyes, "I swear, if something doesn't happen soon, I'm going to be worried that Kaito's finally gotten sick."

"AHHHHHHHHH!-!-!-!"

"And there it is," Yatsude smiled, taking a sip of her tea in relief.

"...Oh, I know that scream," Roll noted.

"Hm?"

"That's the scream I tend to associate when Tangle-chan is in someone's face when they wake up and she wants something," Roll explained, "I should know…" she rubbed her throat, "I've screamed it many a time."

"What's happening!?" Juran shouted, running in with a broom held like a spear, "Who's hurt? Who's invading? Is it Roll-chan's sister again? Did she finally kidnap Kaito to harvest his endless energy?!"

"No, it's Tangle-chan again," Roll replied, going back into the kitchen and coming out with some more cups of tea with two sporting slices of strawberry on the rim.

"Eh? She's here earlier than normal," Juran noted in surprise.

"I appreciate company, but she has been getting rather nosy this entire week," Yatsude added, "You should really have a talk with her about boundaries."

"Oh, we've tried. And I'm sure Jewel-chan has as well," Roll shook her head, "Funny enough…this feels familiar to me, but the wrong target of her sights."

"Hm?" the two pondered as Kaito walked downstairs in his pajamas with Tangle on his head.

"Please tell me where Ay-Ay's secret entrance is today?" Kaito asked.

"I don't know," Roll replied, "I walked over outside like always." she put a cup of strawberry milk on the table before the display of lollipops rose up and a sleepy Haseo wearing a lemur-themed pair of footy pajamas and a lemur plushy in his arms climbed out and over to the table and started to drink the cup of strawberry milk, "There it is."

"She has them all," Kaito stated.

"Ooh~! Secret entrance~!" Tangle squeed, stars in her eyes as she jumped into it before it could close.

"Was that wise?" Juran asked.

"Probably not, but it worked with Sonic…" Kaito yawned, "I figure if Ay-Ay is gonna keep making new gear, she might as well share some of the burden."

"Isn't that the same as saying: 'Okay, you're on the team; go get your suit from the Tech Department?'" Juran pointed out.

"EEK! Y-YOU AGAIN!?"

"HIYA, AY-AY! WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?"

"I just want to brush my teeth in peace without a lemur girl climbing all over me." Kaito sighed, "I'll handle the difficult stuff…tomorrow…" he yawned, walking back upstairs.

"Kaito, it's six in the morning," Juran pointed out.

"I said 'tomorrow,'" Kaito replied back.

"WOAH!" Tangle yelped as she shot up out of the floor, landing on a pillowed seat near the table as the hole in the floor closed, "...Rolly, she has a secret escape tube~"

"Ano sa, Neechan…What is your plan here?" Juran asked, "You know this is some heavy stuff here. Do you really want to get dragged into near endless adventure and battle within an evil invading machine empire?"

"Does her face answer it?" Roll asked, pointing her tail at Tangle who had a look of excitement and stars twinkling in her eyes like she was a kid in a mall filled with candy.

"It really is like a female Kaito if he were in this gal's place," Juran sighed, "He even had the same reaction to the secret escape tube."

"Of course I would! Adventure! Action! This is the best anyone could ever ask for! And I've seen the vids, the suits Roll and that Sonic guy use make you tall like humans!" she cheered, "Of course I want to be part of this!"

"That's a first. We had a hard time getting folks to join at first…" Juran muttered.

"Hah!?" Tangle gasped, "Who would pass this up?!"

"A normal person…" Yatsude responded, making Tangle freeze up and fall over.

"You don't miss a beat do ya, Kaito's Grandma…hahaha…" Tangle chuckled.

=Well you sure have the energy, tune= Secchan spoke up, getting her attention =I guess since Kaito did give you the okay you can join our group. But whether or not Ayane gives you a Geartlasher and Gear…is another issue, tune=

"Hah?!"

=Sit down over here, tune= Secchan spoke, flying over to the secret entrance to the Zenkaiger base.

"Ooh~! Is this story time or something? This better be!" she sat down before her seat vanished from under her, "AH!" she screamed, "WOOHOO~!"

=I'll explain it to her down here out of the way of everyone, tune!= Secchan cheered while diving down.

"Ah…such a reliable bird, we should do something nice for him," Yatsude sighed happily.

"I could get some polish for him," Roll suggested.

"Nice idea, Roll-chan!" she smiled, "Let's leave Secchan to handle this; we'll get a start to the day peacefully this way."


"That was awesome!" Tangle cheered, using her tail as a spring to soften her landing, "Whoa…what is this…another secret base?"

=Exactly tune!= Secchan cheered, floating down =If you really want to join, you should at least understand the things at stake!= he pecked at a keyboard, making screens pop up =Let alone what Super Sentai is, tune!=

"So cool…" Tangle awed with stars in her eyes.

=You know what your world has brought into this, and have heard of the Tojitendo from the news= Secchan explained =But here's why this fight means so much to Kaito: his Tousan and Kaasan, Isao and Mitsuko-hakase, are the geniuses who invented technology to explore and see other realities. They vanished 10 years ago in an accident, but they made all this and left it for Kaito in case our world was ever invaded. That's why Kaito is our leader, tune! This is all his inheritance from his parents=

"Oi!" Skye called from a workbench nearby.

=And they had help from a whoopsie they made long before they disappeared, tune= Secchan added.

"I prefer 'happy little accident,' Seccy!"

=Yatsude calls your entire personality a walking accident…= Secchan countered.

"Yaya is so cruel~" Skye comically sobbed as Tangle giggled.

"Glad to see you haven't changed much!" Tangle beamed.

"Oh, same to you, Tangy-chan!" Skye cheered, "I see you're bugging to join the gang."

=She sat on Kaito's chest until he woke up with her face in his face, tune=

"Ah. You pulled that on Jemy when she said she'd show you a trick the next day. That was hilarious and Pary did it to her a few times afterwards," Skye chuckled, "Anywho, you've gotten approval from Kaikai it seems, but…will the Geartlasher work for you is the question."

"Huzzuh?" Tangle tilted her head as Skye tapped a few buttons on a console, showing a video of Tails and Ayane, with Tails holding a Geartlasher.

=Okay, beginning test…now!= Ayane spoke.

=Right!= Tails replied as he put the Sentai Gear in his other hand into the Geartlasher =Change Zenkai!= he swiped his hand over the gear on it…only for it to not spin =Uh…= he yelped as the blade shocked him.

=Test failed= Ayane sighed…before Tails's fur puffed out from the shocks =...=

=Ayane, don't you dare. Don't you even d…= Tails began before Ayane glomped him and started to suffocate him in her chest while nuzzling the top of his head =MMMPH!=

=Mofu-mofu~=

"Aw~He's almost as fluffy as Haseo is~" Tangle cooed as Skye paused the recording.

"Seems that there's a certain 'frequency' to Ayane's Change Gears," Skye explained, "We haven't been able to exactly isolate it, meaning that there may be a chance you'll not be able to use the Gear."

=Ayane's Sentai Gears are made for Mobians, tune= Secchan added =Mobians have a unique energy to them called 'Chaos Energy.' The gears seem to draw on this to create a stabilized energy loop. Sonic and Roll have an abundance of it and match the frequency for their respective Change Gears, tune=

"So…how does Kaito and the others work?" Tangle asked.

=Kaito's is locked to his DNA, so only he can become Zenkaiser. And given Kaito inherited a near superhuman body, he is the perfect person to become the Leader. The Kikainoids are bonded to their gears upon using them. It uses their naturally moldable metal skin to change them into super versions of themselves and allows them the power to grow and transform=

"Uh…"

"It's a mystery power for Kaikai while the Kikainoids have their bodies power it," Skye summed up.

"Oh~!" Tangle nodded.

=Are we sure you're not in some strange way Kaito's actual relative? Your IQs are weirdly alike…= Secchan muttered.

"It could be a case of her being his counterpart. Issy, Missy, and I tended to notice a lot of variations of this one elderly man in a few worlds we watched," Skye noted.

=...So she may be Mobius's Kaito? …I'm scared, tune=

"Hey~" Tangle pouted as she then blinked, "So…if Kaito's Mom and Dad are gone…what happened?"

=We don't know, tune. The accident must have sent them to another dimension= Secchan explained =It might not look like it, but it causes a lot of trouble for Kaito and Yatsude. You just can't tell 'cause they are always thinking about others first=

"It's a good quality to them," Skye chuckled before sighing, "It's also troubling for me since they were close friends and ones that could actually get what I say when I go into techno babble. Why couldn't they have done what caused the accident just a few days later so I could give them a universal tracker to set off?"

=It might not look it…but this is all just one big weird family, tune! When Kaito and Roll were very young, they would have cross dimensional playdates. Skye and Isao were such good friends they would often get lost in their own nerdy world= Secchan added =Even now, Kaito is doing all he can to keep this family together and happy, that includes Roll and Haseo, and of course trying with Ayane, tune! If you want to join, keep in mind, we're not some team of professional superheroes…We're more like a family who keep meddling in crazy stuff, tune!=

"Wow…" Tangle whispered, "...Honestly, if my parents ended up missing…I'd do everything I could to try and find them…and knowing my best galpal Roll is missing her mom, and Kaito missing his parents…I'd be a pretty crummy friend if I didn't find some way to help."

=It will be difficult, the Tojitendo have more forces. And their schemes get weirder and weirder, tune= Secchan added =But if you are like Kaito…I know you're the kind who will never abandon her friend, old and new= he then began typing =Also I figured you'd rather watch these collections of videos all about the Super Sentai, no lectures…just action, think of it like watching a really good TV Drama=

"We tried not to be intrusive into their lives…but we collected the important bits!" Skye cheered, "Ooh! How about Gekirangers, Seccy? Been a while since I last watched their adventures."


"So far we've been waiting on the nerds to get their next project finished…" Barashitara grumbled, "A man can only do so many things at home before he grows bored…screw it. Let's begin an invasion!" he looked at the roulette machine and pulled its lever, causing it to spin rapidly until the slots all displayed the same image of a clown, "...WHAT?! Is…Is this a Clown World?! I hate clowns, dammit!"

"The files say this one is called Pranktopia," Lien-Da replied as she looked at a tablet, "A world focusing on pranks."

"Hmm…Pranks? If utilized correctly, they could easily be turned into ambush points," Barashitara noted, crossing his arms under his torso barrel, "Who among you all would do best with utilizing ambushes and planning the best areas for that?"

"Myself, Conquering Storm, Clove, Ahkult, and-ugh-Starline," Lien-Da scrunched up her nose.

"Not a fan of the weird duck thing either, are ya?"

"Nope," Lien-Da shook her head, "There's just…something about him I don't like."

"Likewise…unlike that fat one and Ijirude…he's quiet." Barashitara muttered, "Either way, we can't let the Zenkaigers think we're running scared, and they've had enough time to get complacent. So this should work just fine," he sighed while taking the presented Tojiru Gear, "Here, give this to whoever you think can handle this. Chances are…I don't want to be around this one…"

"I can already feel the migraine," Lien-Da muttered as she went to find a good candidate.

"Eitherway, we can't just let up. Sending out a World to bother them should at least give us some enjoyment and new information on their strategies," Barashitara sighed.

"So we need someone who can take advantage of th-" Lien-Da began before Cassia slowly walked past her, her eyes focused on the game in her hands, "..."

"As long as we don't let them back in…it should be fine," Barashitara muttered, following her line of sight.

"And she is technically co-leader of her sister's Dark Legion faction…" Lien-Da muttered, "...We don't tell her sister of this."

"Agreed," Barashitara nodded.

"Oh Cassia~!"

=Hmm?= Cassia blinked a bit, pausing her game as she looked back at the female echidna =Yeah?=

"Congrats!" Lien-da smiled.

=Congrats?=

"You have been chosen to lead today's invasion," Barashitara ordered, "You are given full command of our forces and this new World," he held up the Tojiru Gear, "You are free to act as you want with this one of a kind Gear and its odd power. Just don't bring it back to the base. And if anyone asks…the nerds gave it to you." with that, he put the gear in her hand and walked off, "Saraba da…" he saluted.

=...So it's…my first solo mission….= Cassia whispered with wide eyes =...wait. What type of World is it?=

"Prank W-"

=SOLD!= Cassia squealed as she ran off =I gotta get my tonfa!=

"Well…He's right. At the very least, it should entertain," Lien-Da sighed, "As long as she keeps it away from us."

"Agreed. I think I still have caramel from that one trooper who was court martialed after one prank too many," Barashitara huffed.


"You're sure you want to go in there again?" Juran asked Tangle, "Ayane-chan is a super complicated one to deal with, and frankly has a bad attitude."

"Yep! Imma gonna do it! I will get a Gear of my own to help out!" Tangle declared, hopping in place and doing a bit of punching at the air ahead of her with her fists and tail, "Imma gonna win!"

"..." Juran looked around, "No signs of boxing bells or gloves…"

"I don't think a World can explain so much energy," Vroon spoke, "This is Kaito levels of it." he tilted his head, "How do organics have such energy? Where is it all coming from? It's making my head go vroon-vroon!"

"Oh, she looks so adorable doing that," Gaon chuckled in joy.

"I predict this will end badly…" Magine sighed.

"I think that's more pattern recognition," Amy smiled.

"CHARGE~!" Tangle screamed as she ran for Ayane's room.

A few moments of silence passed before Ayane silently poked her head out from a vase behind the group. The Hedgelynx slowly moved out from behind it as she made her way to the next room.

"How long do you think you can hide from them?" Kaito chuckled, making her jump.

"H-How did…?" Ayane whispered with wide eyes, looking more like a deer in the headlights than a Hedgehog-Lynx mix.

"By this point, I've gotten to know you pretty well, Ay-Ay," Kaito chuckled as he held Secchan in his hands, "I just thought what would be the most weird way to escape everyone…waiting for them to rush in seemed like a smart idea."

=Kaito may not act like it, but when it comes to out of the box thinking he's not half bad, tune!= Secchan cheered =Now for the important thing, why not just let Tangle try?=

"What's the harm? If it works and if it doesn't then it doesn't?" Kaito pointed out.

"There is the possibility it may work, but…" Ayane paused.

"But…?"

"...I f-fear the end results of giving her one."

"You're a lot nicer than you let on, aren't you?" Kaito smiled, "I might be able to let her join, but I can't make you give her a Geartlasher," he shook his head, "If you think it's a good idea to give her one…I'll trust you."

"Ah…" Ayane binked a few times at him, her cheeks turning pink, before…

*BOOM!*

"!?" everyone jumped to see Tangle at the open door before slowly turning around to show the entire front half of her was covered in soot.

"..." Tangle coughed out a bit of smoke, "She's not in…"

"Ah!" Gaon gawked as he picked her up while the door closed, "Oh, this is terrible!" he opened the door, "What was tha…" a pie hit him in the face, "..." he closed the door before opening it again and a pink cannon pressed against him, "...That's a cannon, isn't it?" the cannon fired and a Gaon covered in all sorts of streamers, colorful flags, and various party decorations flew over them and out the window, landing in a trash can, "Ah! Help! I'm stuck in something and I cannot see because of the pie!"

"..." Kaito looked to Ayane.

"Th-That wasn't any of mine," Ayane replied.

"Oi, Gaon…what ya doing man…This some kind of joke?" Juran complained, walking out, "That didn't seem like one of the Little ladies normal traps…so…who did it? Felt more like a joke." he grunted, yanking Gaon out of the trashcan.

"I…I am…Lion…" Gaon rambled in a dazed stupor, "Y-You tell that darn Bot Baboon…to lease Weasle-chan alone…" at that, he fell over with his legs kicking up.

"Yep…right to the central processor….he's down for the count."

=AH! Tojitendo!= Secchan shouted, flying out =I'm picking up their signal, I think that was a result of their new plan, tune=

"?!"

"Oh~! Action time!" Tangle beamed a bit in excitement, shaking off the soot from her face.

"Right. Better get to the base, Ay-Ay," Kaito noted as he ran to the door to get out of the house only for a boxing glove on a spring to hit him in the face when he opened it, "GAH!"

"...Pfft…" Ayane covered her mouth, trying to choke back a laugh, "B-Boxing glove…on a s-spring…"

"Ugh…did I get 'em, coach?" Kaito groaned.

"Okay…that…was not Ayane. She might put up crazy traps but she's never set them up at random like that. So then what…is it Trap World?" Amy asked.

"I feel like that name alone is a can of worms I do not wish to tip over…" Magine muttered.

"Then what could've…"

"WOAH~!" Sonic yelped as he slid right in, his entire body covered in oil with banana peels at the bottom of his shoes, "Okay…I like pranks and all, but not when they're aimed at me!"

"Prank World?" Magine, Amy, and Roll guessed.

"What can we expect?" Vroon opened his notebook, only for it to explode into confetti, "NO!" he cried, falling to his knees, "My notes…they were innocent…" he cried while falling to his hands, "NO!-!-!" he shouted to the ceiling above.

"My guess…" Sonic grunted, holding onto the wall as he tried to keep himself balanced, "The mean and n-woah! Nasty kind."

"I mean it doesn't…" Juran began before he nudged something with his leg…and he was suddenly bombarded by cream pies that knocked him on his rear, "Roll-chan…Call the Doc…mah back…"

"The boys have been knocked out!" Magine panicked.

"Second wind!" Kaito roared, getting to his feet.

"I tell ya always give it an extra minute for Kaito," Amy replied.


=Ahahaha!= Cassia laughed at the chaos that ensued, on the verge of falling over from the laughter =This is even better than Goat Simulator with all the DLC!=

"Dayo-ne~" a female voice cheered as Prank World danced around, her helmet had two sweeping horns on each side to her head, colored in black and white stripes like a harlequin's hat, her face covered in a screen which projected a smiling face, each forearm covered in disconnected sleeves with puffy cuffs and colored in black and red checkered diamond patterns, a matching skirt around her waist as well for some reason, "So much fun left ta be done~"

=Oh shh shh! I think the heroes might be coming, so go hide Prank World= Cassia told the new World.

"Ally-oop!" Prank World Giggled as she cartwheeled to the side.

=...3…2….1…= Cassia counted down.

"OI~!" Kaito's voice called out, making her turn from the cafe chair she was sitting in to see him and the others running over.

=Hello, Zenkaigers!= Cassia grinned as she dramatically stood up =I've been waiting for you! Especially you, Zenkaizer!=

"Wait…it's just you?" Juran blinked as he looked around, "Where's the older Pronghorn?"

=Just me today, so be prepared for the hardest level in the game!= Cassia laughed further.

"She is really hamming it up," Sonic muttered, the oil already off of him.

"Oh, is this your first solo mission, Cassia?" Vroon asked.

=Yep!= Cassia beamed.

"Is now really the time for that, Vroon?" Juran deadpanned.

"What? Cassia always told me how she wanted to do a solo mission…and pray her condition doesn't a-"

"HEEEEEEEEEY KIIIIIIIIIDS~~~~!"

"GAAAAAH!" the group screamed in utter shock as they jumped back a few feet, turning to see the laughing form of Prank World standing before a large megaphone.

"Ahhahahahah! Ahh nothing beats a good and funny jumpscare!"

=T-The look of your fa-a-a-aces~!-!-!= Cassia fell off her chair, kicking the air as she laughed without care.

"I am starting to see why no one liked it when we did pranks as kids…" Kaito sighed while looking at Roll.

"Hai…"

"Hey! THAT WAS NOT COOL!" Tangle complained as she shook a fist at Prank World.

"So? If you don't like the prank, then don't get a knot in your stomach!"

"What's she talking ab-OW!" Tangle yelped when her tail was suddenly tied into a knot.

"Did that while you weren't looking…also did the same for your friends too, even those that don't wear shoes."

"Say what?" Juran looked down before yelping as he fell over, wearing clown shoes with the shoelaces tied up, "When did you…How did you…Wh-Wha?!"

"Thank you, thank you~!" Prank World mock bowed to the laughing Cassia.

=How's it feel to get pulled into someone else's nonsense, huh?!= Cassia asked Kaito in her laughing.

"Mmm…" he grunted before jumping up, "I don't care if you think it's funny, your games are gonna hurt people, so do your worst, I'm still gonna keep trying! Prank or no prank, Zenryoku Zenkai!" he tensed his muscles as he spread his legs apart and snapped the shoelaces, "Change Zenkai!" he spun around while shooting his Geartlinger.

=ZENKAISER!=

Zenkaiser leapt forward, before he ducked and combat rolled across the ground. As he slid to a stop, he aimed up and shot at Prank World, knocking her over.

"Gah…Wait for us, Kaito!" Juran called as he held up his Geartlinger…but not his gear, "Eh?"

=Looking for these~?= Cassia giggled, holding up the Kikainoids and Mobians' change Gears.

"?!" Sonic tensed as he patted himself over, "...When did…?"

=That's whatcha get for underestimating me~= Cassia grinned.

"Hey you give those back!" Zenkaiser ordered as he traded blows with Prank World, "Those don't belong to you guys, you already ripped off my Parent's theme!"

"Rude! We rip off nothing!" Prank World declared.

"No one is talking to you…" Zenkaiser grunted as he spun around and kicked her away. He then yelped as he slipped on a banana and landed on a whoopee cushion, "Ah! That wasn't me!" he panicked. He then grunted as Prank World kicked him and sent him tumbling over, "Ah my face!"

"How did you miss Kaito's?" Vroon muttered in interest.

=I wasn't fast enough with my jumping= Cassia sheepishly admitted.

"Aw, don't worry. I know you're improving day by day," Vroon assured, patting her head in assurance.

"Oh for the love of…Vroon, grab her!" Juran snapped.

"Hai?" he blinked, "AH! Right, I forgot we are supposed to be enemies!" his head spun around, "Gomen Cassia-chan, I must try to catch you now!"

=...Sorry, Vroon…= Cassia sighed as she pulled her tonfa out =I can't let ya do that…=

"Then we have reached an impasse…" Vroon declared, "A standoff if you will…"

=Yeah…I guess so= Cassia sighed, gaining a serious expression as she jumped to the side to dodge Vroon =Only sour note about the whole thing of this being my first solo mission=

"Please don't overwork yourself," Vroon assured, jumping at her only for her to jump on his head and over him, "I do not wish to earn your sister's ire again please!"

=Me neither!= Cassia added before both shuddered at the memory of the last time she overworked herself when Vroon was still employed as a janitor.

"Oi Imouto-chan…are you really evil?" Juran bluntly asked, "You seem more like a delinquent girl."

=Well, I have been playing GTA V when sis isn't watching me= Cassia replied, avoiding another grab.

"You know how much violent games rile you up!" Vroon complained, "Ah…now you'll have trouble sleeping, which will mess with your circadian rhythm…ya-ya…how troublesome…"

=Mmm…= Cassia pouted as she jumped over him again and yelped when Tangle's tail grabbed her =YIPE!=

"Gotcha!" Tangle cheered, hanging on a streetlight above her, "Nice guiding her this way, Vroon!"

"I was guiding her?" Vroon asked in surprise.

"Wait…you weren't?" Tangle asked in confusion.

=Aw come on! Lemme go!= Cassia whined.

"Nope, now let those Gears go!"

=Ne…!= Cassia began before she groaned, feeling dizzy for a moment before she rapidly shook her head =N-never!=

"M-Matte! Tangle-chan!" Vroon panicked, noticing this, "Be Gentle! She is not in full health!"

"What's huh?" Tangle blinked.

"She is unwell, so please be gentle. It could make it worse for her," Vroon pleaded.

"...oh geez," Tangle whispered as she lightened her grip a bit on Cassia, "S-sorry! Still can't let ya go though…"

=Mmm…you suck!= Cassia complained =Prank World, help please!=

"Hmm…nah~!" Prank World shrugged as she backflipped away from a kick from Zenkaiser.

='NAH'?!=

"A prankster works better…if they work solo," Prank World giggled, tilting her body at an angle to avoid Zenkaiser's shots, "I still serve Tojitendo...but I'm gonna be working solo from now on~"

"How atypical of Tojitendo officers…" Vroon frowned, "How cruel! She is your comrade! How dare you treat her like that!"

"Vroon is fired up…" Magine noted.

"Yeah! Isn't she your friend?!" Tangle snapped.

"Tangle's also riled up," Roll whispered.

"Friend? She may have created me with the Gear…but that don't make her my friend," Prank World shook her head as she did a split to avoid another shot, "She was an audience member for my pranks."

=Wh-hey! I'm still your commanding officer!= Cassia complained.

"Yes, and look how easily you got caught. A real prankster never lets themselves get caught!" Prank World declared, leaning back from a punch from Zenkaiser before she hit him with a spring-loaded boxing glove, "They catch others like that!"

"Hey…You're the one who hit me with a boxing glove earlier, weren't you?!" Zenkaiser demanded as he cranked the Geatlinger to fire multiple shots at her.

"Did ya open a door? Because guess what? All the doors have that going on while I'm around!" Prank World giggled, moonwalking out of the way of his rapid fire shots.

"Okay, I'm getting tired of you, so let me counter with this!" Zenkaiser shouted as he slotted a Sentai Gear.

=JU-HACHI BANG! KAKURANGERS!=

An image of NinjaRed went into Zenkaiser before he put his hands together, "Wakemi no jutsu!" he shouted as he spun around…and became three Zenkaisers, and then again to become Seven Zenkaisers, "Seibai~!" they all cheered while adopting a monkey-like pose as they all scratched their heads in unison.

"He did the Ninja clone thing!" Tangle shouted, "Roll, can you do that?!"

"I can if you can get my Change Gear," Roll replied before quickly adding, "Without doing more harm to her!"

"Please…" Vroon nodded.

"Hey wait…you can't just…hey! Stop acting like a monkey!" Prank World complained as the Zenkaisers ran and flipped around leaving white streaks in the air from how fast they moved around, "Stop…the…the world is spinning…" she grunted as she tried to move…but blinked and realized she stepped on a makibishi.

"How's that? A Ninja prank! Kakure Style Makibishi~" the Zenkaiser's all cheered.

"By the way, those are coated in lemon juice~" one Zenkaiser cheered.

"AH!" Prank World shouted while hopping around…and stepping on more…and repeating the process in a cruel loop, "AH! EEK! OOH! OUCHIES!"

"Zenkai Ninpo…Geartlinger hailstorm~" the Zenkaisers all shouted in a kabuki style as they just began shooting Prank World rapidly from all sides.

"Roll-chan…that's not really Ninpo, is it?" Juran muttered.

"Iie…" she shook her head.

"But it's effective…" Magine added.

"Ninja~!" Tangle awed, stars in her eyes before shuddering, "Did you just lick my tail?!"

=Imma bite it if ya don't drop me!=

"...Okay," Tangle smiled, dropping Cassia…right into Vroon's hands.

"I got her!"

=Oh, you suck, ya lemur lady!=

"Sorry, not sorry!"

"I shall not release you, 'till I'm sure you are okay!" Vroon shouted.

"Aw…he's a hugger," Tangle smiled.

"Gaon wants hugs too!" Gaon shouted, joining Vroon in holding onto Cassia too.

=Ah! Hey, hey, hey! These are unauthorized hugs!= Cassia snapped before groaning as the world got blurry for a moment to her =Ugh…=

"?! ...Oh no…" Vroon whispered in worry, "Your condition isn't acting up, is it?"

=N…no! I'm…perfectly…= Cassia groaned, the world getting blurry again before she shook her head =Perfectly fine… N-Now let me go or else I'm calling back up!=

"Um…That's a potato."

=Huh?!= Cassia looked at her hand to see she was holding a potato.

"Sorry, not sorry," Tangle grinned, holding a black and red radio with the Eggman Empire logo on it.

=Aw lousy cheap nerfs!= Cassia fumed, shaking her fists up at her =I swear, when I get outta this, I'm…I-I'm…= she slumped against Vroon =Mmm…=

"Ah! Cassiopeia!" Vroon gasped.

"What's wrong with her?" Gaon asked, "Ah nevermind, we need a doctor!" he panicked.

"And that's my cue to leave!" Prank World laughed as she pulled out a large present, "Hate to leave deadweight behind, so I have a gift for Zenkaiser I know will make up for it!"

"A gift?" Zenakiser blinked, appearing before her as he took the present and opened it…

*BOOM!*

…and stood there completely covered in ash and soot while the World's laughter filled the air, "...I walked right into that one…"

"Oh, this is bad. Ah, wait! I remember the schematics for the machine she connects to when this happens!" Vroon exclaimed before running off, "Mr. Sakurai! Mr. Sakurai! Tatsukete!"

"Vroon! I meant a real doctor…Vroon!" Gaon shouted, chasing him.

"...So now we're keeping another villain?" Juran asked.

"I pick the lock to your house once and I get called a villain," Tangle muttered in annoyance, still hanging upside down with her arms crossed over her chest with a pout.

"He means Vroon," Magine corrected.

"You picked the lock?!" Zenkaiser gawked.

"...Oops…" Tangle cringed.

"Eh, Tomorrow Kaito's problem," Zenkaiser waved off, "I have a killer prankster to deal with…well, she hasn't really killed anything…but it was mostly for suspense!"

"Kaito…let's go home." Magine sighed.

"Zenkai!" he cheered.


"And use this…and this and this…" Vroon rambled as he messed with wires, "This goes here…this there…and that should work!" he put two plugs together, only for the toaster to ding, "Wrong extension…" he disconnected and plugged in another, making a machine light up, "Yes! That's it!" he picked up a tube connected to the machine and went over to a bed covered in soft pastel blues and pinks where Cassia was lying, her uniform replaced with a baby blue set of pajamas, and gently attached it to her arm on a cuff at the end of the tube, the pronghorn wincing before a blue liquid came out through the tube to Cassia, "There we go."

"I am so glad your mother taught you to carry your old clothes, kiddo," Skye noted, looking over at Roll, "And thank you for lending your bed as well."

"Thank you so much for helping with this," Vroon bowed his head to both Skye and Roll, "I knew the Tojitendo had low views of organic life and even halfbreeds and hybrids…"

"Wait…what was that last part?" Sonic blinked, "Halfbreeds…and hybrids?"

"Ya-ya?" Vroon blinked, "Well the Tojitendo have been subjugating worlds for a long time now, a little bit of diversity is to be expected. And as the Sakurais would say…Love just happens."

"..." Skye opened his mouth before closing it and shaking his head, "No…not all questions need answered…" he cleared his throat, "S-So Vroon, just what is wrong with this little lady? Her symptoms and the like that needs something like this."

"Um, well…" Vroon looked around, "I kinda made a promise to not say it fully aloud."

"Huh…Well, can you whisper it?" Skye asked.

"...I think so," Vroon replied as Skye walked over and Vroon bent down and whispered.

"...Uh-huh…Hm? Oh…So that…and the…" Skye frowned, "Vroon, why didn't you say this before?"

"I made a promise!" he cried, "I can't break my first friend's trust!" he sobbed as large tears fell from his optics with a few gears clattering to the ground.

"There, there, big guy," Skye assured, patting his hand in assurance, "But still…now that you have, I am so glad that Mitsy kept her world viewing notes on digital."

"Ya-ya?" Vroon looked at Skye.

"What? You think we just watched the other Super Sentai every day? That was Issy."

"So do you mean…an answer is right there for us?! A Cure! An actual cure?!"

"Yes. Mitsy was actually more interested in looking at the more practical worlds. One of her favorites to watch was Medictopia, a whole world dedicated to research and curing all manners of illness," Skye grinned as he pulled out a tablet with the Zenkaiger logo and started to tap away.

"Honto?" Kaito asked.

"Why do you think she knew so many treatments whenever you got the rare sickness or fractured bone?" Skye replied, "Even showed my wife a few things."

"Hmm…That explains why I healed so fast," Kaito muttered, "Cause I broke A LOT of bones."

"It's true," Roll sighed, shaking her head, "Remember when you thought El Chupacabra was hiding under your bed?"

"Oh that was a record on the bones I broke," Kaito chuckled, "Wasn't allowed to have a bed with posts to lift it up off the ground for a year!"

"You thought there was a monster that eats goats under your bed, too?" Tangle asked, "Oh! What about the tiger in the closet that eats your clothes if you don't do your homework?"

"I still swear that it ate my favorite shirt!" Kaito groaned.

"Hmm…" Skye muttered, "Gonna have to make notes of this…"

"Hakase…one thing at a time." Vroon complained.

"Right, right," Skye waved Vroon off as he did a few more taps, "Ah! Right here. It was the last thing she put into it, too! …Huh…Shouldn't be too hard to make. Won't take more than a week of taking these with the three daily meals a person should have."

"Honto?" Roll asked.

"Yes," Skye assured before frowning at the machine Cassia was connected to, "This is a bit troubling, though."

"What do you mean?" Magine asked.

"Vroon, you said this was helping fight off this disease, correct?" Skye asked.

"That is what I was told when I asked her sister about it, yes!" Vroon nodded.

"..." he frowned, double-checking his tablet to some underlined bolded text in Mitsuko's notes, "This isn't fighting it. It's just making it pause at its current state for twenty-four hours before it actually accelerates the disease by weakening her immune system."

"Nani!?" Vroon shouted.

"Who would do such a thing?" Kaito asked before Skye gestured to Sonic with a raised brow.

"...Eggman…" Sonic frowned.

"And now I hate that egg-shaped guy even more," Juran frowned.

"Yeah, he's a real butt!" Tangle agreed before frowning as she looked at the snoozing pronghorn, "What a jerk doing this to a kid that looks like she's around Haseo's age."

"...Huh?" Magine and Amy looked at the lemur.

"...What? He's ten and turning eleven in a few months," Tangle replied.

"Ten?!" the two repeated in surprise.

"Wait until he hits puberty…then I'll have to smack you both with a sledgehammer to keep ya away from him," Skye stated as he walked to leave, "Okay, I'm off to get the ingredients for her cure! Bye! Have a beautiful time!" he walked out before a wet noise went off, "Okay! Who closed the door to the front of the place?! It's alright since I opened it from the side so it didn't hit me, but it still got some of my tools I needed for Mrs. Hagane's knee transplant next Tuesday!"

"We'll replace them!" Kaito shouted, "Just get the stuff to help her, then complain, 'cause that is also Tomorrow Kaito's problem!"

"You keep saying that but when will you become Tomorrow Kaitom!" Skye shouted back.

"Tomorrow…that's the whole point!"

"You just lost a logic debate…to Kaito…let this sink in, Doc!" Amy called out.


"What do you mean you lost her?!" Barashitara shouted at a screen, "Your role is to answer to your handler!" he slammed his spear hard into the ground, "I should scrap you right now…"

=Ah! F-Forgive me, sir! W-We were just having some good laughs while doing all the set up and then those Zenkaigers showed up and next thing I know, they've run off with her!=

"Taking prisoners of war…that doesn't sound like them…" Barashitara spoke, "Wait…the big dumb blue one…he was a companion of hers during his time here…Don't do anything stupid! I'm sending you backup. If you fail me…I will scrap you…piece…by piece…with my bare hands."

=Ulp! Y-Yes, sir…= Prank World squeaked.

"I hate that I keep getting the freakin' lemons…" Barashitara sighed, "Lien-Da, either the Zenkaigers have taken a prisoner of war…or something unbelievably stupid is going on…my money is on the second option!" he shouted as he walked off. A figure jumped down from the ceiling the moment he left the room.

"Zenkaigers?" he asked, looking at the screen, "So these are ones those quacks are so focused on…" he looked to the portal, "May as well see if they are all they claim to be."


"E-Enough! Okay, okay! Just s-stop saying 'please' s-so much!" Ayane groaned before Tangle yelped as she was punted out, a Geartlasher tied to her tail with a rubber band.

"I win!" Tangle cheered before a Change Gear bonked her on the head and landed in her hand, "...Still win!"

"I knew it'd work!" Kaito beamed.

"Mistakes were made by letting them meet," Magine whispered, she and Amy sharing looks.

"Many mistakes were made," Amy agreed.

"And now I…" Tangle cheered.

"Wait…" Kaito stopped her, "You can't just ruin your first transformation by doing it on a whim. You need to make it special. It needs to be amazing, extra, and in everyone's face! Then…you can goof off with your superhero form. Cause you already got the first one perfect so all the others don't matter."

"Kaito…you are a genius~!" Tangle spoke in awe.

"Those are words I never thought I'd here spoken honestly…" Sonic muttered.

"I know right…" Kaito agreed, none seeing Ayane peeking out of her room and giving Tangle an annoyed look.

"She's waking up!" Roll called, poking out of her room.

"Ah!" Vroon shouted, getting up from the desk he was working at and rushing up to the room.

=Hey, let go of me!= Cassia fussed, weakly trying to struggle with Roll.

"I'm trying to help you sit up. You can't eat while lying down," Roll gently countered, her tail carrying a tray with a bowl of soup.

"Ah, Roll-san, please don't do that. She prefers doing it on her own," Vroon spoke, "How are you feeling?"

=Did you guys…capture me?= Cassia asked after a moment, =Or…save me?=

"Ya-ya…huh…I guess both honestly." Vroon admitted, "Saved you from passing out…and furthermore…found out Eggman has been lying to you!" he declared as he then clenched his fist, "He lied to you…kept knowledge from you…he kept your world small…by telling you only he could help you…but that's wrong!" he shouted, making her flinch, "But…I found something that can…here with my friends…a real cure…"

=W-What? B-But he said this was helping with what's making me sick!= Cassia argued, pointing at the machine before blinking twice =...Wait a sec…How did you…?=

"Vroon made it with my Tou-san's help," Roll explained, "What is getting put into you is keeping it away…but only for a little bit before it actually weakens your immune system."

=Huh?!=

"Mmm…Have you played any of the Twisted Metal games? I get the feeling you like to sneak M-Rated games without your sister knowing."

=?! …Y-You won't tell her if I say 'yes,' will ya?=

"Cross my heart and hope to lose my strawberry patch on the roof," Roll replied.

=...He pulled a Calypso on me and Sis?!= Cassia exclaimed before shaking her head as the blurred vision started to come back.

"Easy, easy," Vroon spoke, "Breathe, Cassia."

"This machine works to hold it off, with none of the negative side effects of the one Eggman made. Tou-san made the adjustments when he came back from a few stores," Roll quickly added, "But you shouldn't try to leave it till we can fix up the cure or make it mobile."

"I have plans for just such a thing, so you may walk around 'till the cure is ready." Vroon held up a notebook, "See…by finding more information…the world has expanded, and Eggman proven wrong. You can be cured," he lowered his head, "Mm…I know, I broke my promise…so…you must hate me. But…I had to! It was a chance to save you!"

=...Where was it from?=

"You've been with the Tojitendo, so you know of other worlds, right?" Roll asked, "Kaito's mother found it ten years ago when looking at a world called Medictopia. You'll have to eat three meals a day in order to take the cure for a whole week."

=So I have to eat some sorta yucky medicine for a whole week three times a day?= Cassia asked with her tongue stuck out at the thought before gasping =Ah! I-I'm prisoner, right? The…=

"Tou-san disabled the explosives in your cybernetics," Roll assured.

"Cassia…it will be okay," Vroon spoke, "My friends are very reliable and infinitely kind. I promise…you will be cured, and then…you'll be free." he sighed, "I know you have no reason to believe me, but if there was a chance to help, I took it. You and your sister were the first people to ever be kind to me. I will return that kindness to you both, by setting you free from the dark chains Eggman has trapped you in. I am…a Zenkaiger. I have to help those in need, that includes you."

=Aw big guy…= Cassia whispered before she started to sniffle until a tissue gently pressed at the tears welling up =?!=

"It's alright," Roll assured, "You're safe here." she winked, "Plus, you get candy easily here across the street. You just have to ask."

"Ah! Roll-san, d-don't bribe her with sweets!" Vroon begged, "Clove will literally knock my head off if she learns that!"

=Yes, she probably would= Cassia agreed before adopting a grin =Meaning if ya don't want me to, ya gotta get me some cotton candy, okay?= she flinched at the look Roll gave her =H-How do you know that look?=

"I'm an older sister to two younger siblings," Roll replied, "All older sisters know this look. You can have cotton candy…" she put the tray in Cassia's lap, "…after you eat your soup."

=Aw hackers…= Cassia grumbled.


"No no…Ijirude, that…" Eggman began, he and Ijirude working on something in their lab before a door slam caught their attention, "?!"

"Where….is….she?" Clove's voice asked…no…demanded as she walked in, her eyes narrowed to show the anger in them.

"Gh! She's giving us the same look Barashitara's fiftieth wife knew…" Ijirude whispered, wheeling behind Eggman with his visible optic wide and his entire body paler than normal.

"Is that bad?" Eggman whispered.

"How do you think I ended up on treads and not legs?!" he hissed under his breath in horror before saying aloud, "W-who are you talking of, madam?"

"My sister, Cassia," Clove responded.

"...Well how should I…" Eggman began before Clove aimed her scythe at the two, "?!"

"Answer me!"

"...Bold of you to attack me like that," Eggman noted, a cruel grin growing on his face as he touched the metal staff of Clove's weapon, "You don't want to activate the bombs in you now…do you?"

"Don't ignore my question…" Clove growled.

"...Well honestly, I don't know," Eggman responded, "...and frankly I don't care. Chances are she's dead anyway…"

"GRR!"

"Stop making her mad!" Ijirude squeaked, "I do not want to be on the unicycle again!"

"...What?" Eggman asked, looking away from Clove at his fellow scientist with a raised brow.

"The Zenkaigers have taken her," a voice made them look at Barashitara as he approached, "I almost didn't want to stop this…it was getting…hot…" he coughed, "But…I also can't let them die. The King wants them to do something. But if you need to know, that girl failed to control a World Soldier and got captured. I don't know for what…they have made no demands…but…I respect the boldness…Yes, it interests me."

"Will you stop with the looking for more wives?!" Ijirude complained.

"I do what I want!" he responded, "I like what I like…and violence…gets the engine running…" he chuckled, "But I've been advised that I can't do that to staff anymore…so…I figure I'll just settle with this." he thwacked both scientists over the head with his spear, making them fall over, "That's for making a faulty system," he poked them several times, earning grunts of pain, "This is for being annoying and slow."

"Now you're just being cruel!" they complained.

"Yes…" he mused, "Since I need to waste time and resources on messes 'cause of you…I shall enjoy tormenting you losers." he chuckled, "This must be high school all over for you two, huh?"

"..."

"..."

"...I'll take that as a yes."

"...I'm heading out," Clove stated, turning away as she began to step out, "...Just so you know, Egg….no. Ivo Robotnik…if anything happened to my sister…if she dies because of her illness? The one you promised to cure?" she looked back while aiming her scythe specifically at Eggman, "There is nowhere in the multiverse…you can hide to escape my wrath."

"..." Eggman could only nod due to the clash of moods and feelings going on. He then cried in pain when Barashitara slammed the end of his spear on his foot.

"...welp…that was hot," Barashitara spoke honestly, "Anyway, I should probably go help…or…?" He looked at the two before he pushed them to the edge of the platform that was their lab and left them dangling over the edge, "I'll be back to see if you survive!"

"...I hate that living tank…" Eggman muttered, him and Ijirude currently trying to pull themselves up, "...Orbot, Cubot! Get my Eggmobile!"

=Uhm…he…took it…= Orbot replied, peeking over the edge with Cubot.

"WHY!?"

=We refuse to quote what he said as he roughly drove it through a portal…=

"AH! Eggman, I'm slipping!" Ijirude panicked, grabbing Eggman's pants.

"NO! Don't grab me! You're heavy!" Eggman panicked.

"HELP!"


"Ah she's been through here…" Kaito spoke, seeing people complaining about pranks and the city streets being a total mess.

"But it could also mean she's possibly nearby," Sonic offered as he looked around.

"Only one way to find out…" Kaito stated with a serious expression on his face.

"What…no…you can't!" Sonic gasped.

"I must!" Kaito took a step forward…and slipped on a banana, sending him sliding down the street, "SHE'S NEAR!" he cried as he slid into an overturned dumpster and flipped it right side up, "It's okay…it's plastic recyclables only!"

"You are a good friend," Sonic saluted.

"Stop messing around!" Amy and Magine snapped, the former slapping Sonic on the back of the head with a paper fan.

"Ow…" Sonic stumbled forward a step before hearing the sound of a spring tensing, "...Oh no…" he looked down, "Again!?" he asked as he was launched into the air, "AAAAaaaaaaahhhhhh…" he cried as he vanished into the distance.

"...Well, he's gonna be gone for a while," Juran muttered.

"...It's not right," Tangle whispered, earning a look towards the lemur as her normally excitable look was replaced with a small frown, "Making a kid…a sick kid at that…fight for no reason…"

"From what I understand, Eggdude has always been a giant butt," Juran spoke, "He's always gonna be sick and twisted, but all we can do is try and stop him and the Tojitendo together now. We've got a chance for a good life here."

"Mmm!" Magine nodded, "We can't change all the bad things that have happened. But…we can make good things happen now!" She put her arm around Amy's shoulders, "We can make new friends and help people together!"

"That's right!" Amy beamed, putting her arm over Magine's shoulders, "Outside of Eggman and the Tojitendo, it honestly feels like things have been going great with getting along with everyone!"

"All these kawai Human-chwans and Mobian-chwans, I have to defend them from danger! No cold evil machinery shall ever hurt them again. This…I SWEAR!" Gaon shouted.

"Ignore him…he's a weirdo…" Magine bluntly said while looking at Tangle.

"...yeah…I suppose you're right…" Tangle whispered, "...heh. Sorry, guys. It's just…well, back home in Spiral Hill, we…well kept things to ourselves. Barely any of Eggmans' forces ever attacked there…but hearing all those stories about the Freedom Fighters and stuff? It…it started lighting a match in me or something. That…I felt like I had to get out there and help somehow."

"..." Juran chuckled, patting Tangle on the head taking her by surprise, "That's normal, isn't it? We all want to get out there and have adventures now and again, right?!" he chuckled, "But…in the back of your mind, you are also worried about folks you don't even know. That just means you're a good person in the end, don't it?" he asked, his eyes closing to emote his smile, "You just gotta aim all that energy for adventure. If you're with friends, the adventure never ends. So use that youth to help out people in need!" he laughed while gently patting her head.

"...yeah. I gotta get that energy out there to help people…for adventure!" Tangle beamed, her excitable face back in full swing, "And like heck I'm gonna let those Tojitendo jerks or Eggbutt ruin everyone's good mood!"

"Ahh~ Are you done yet? The whole heroic monologue thing was honestly getting boring."

"?!" the group tensed as they looked up at a nearby streetlamp, seeing Prank World lazily hanging off it.

"You! You hurt the fluffy critters!" Gaon snapped, "You shall pay, vile monster of evil and cold unfeeling machinery! You don't even have a soul!"

"So? Neither do you last I checked," Prank World countered.

"But I fight for the cute and fluffy, so I'm the one who wins! You are a troll who thinks she pulls off that look…but spoiler…you look…fat…" Gaon spoke, making her pause, "I said it, tubby…come and get me!" he challenged as he ran off.

"...Fine…you want me to be serious…?" Prank World frowned, leaping up to the top of the lamp post as she pulled out a long pole from her cape…before a large sickle emerged from the end of it, "Fine…this pranks are getting a little more serious…"

"You look like an edgy teenager~!" Gaon taunted from a distance.

"I'll kill you!" she shouted, chasing him.

"And this is why I like Gaon," Amy smiled.

"He's still a weirdo…" Magine muttered.

"That little freak has her distracted and out of her mood of control," Juran noted, "Not bad, kid…not bad at all. But for references, Tangle-chan…don't copy him…He is not the Paisem to look to."

"Gotcha!" Tangle nodded before cringing with the others at Kaito, having ended up on his feet with the recycle bin still on him, ran into a wall, "You okay there, Kaito?"

"I've had worse!" he shouted, "After that crazy evil robot!" he ordered before Amy and Magine pointed him in the right direction, "Zenryoku Zenkai!" he roared, running down the street.

"Well…you heard our fearless leader…" Juran shrugged, "CHARGE!" he brandished his Geartlinger.

"CHARGE!" Tangle cheered.

As they ran off, a figure walked out and mused to themselves as he observed them. His long black coat swayd in the wind as he brushed some hair aside, "These…are the Zenkaigers…can't be?" he chuckled incredulously, "That was just a bunch of idiots."


"Change Zenkai!" Gaon shouted, shooting his Geartlinger as he rolled to avoid a swing at his head, "Hah! Missed!"

=Zenkai Gaon~!=

Zenkai Gaon raised his Gaon Claws as he blocked the next swing before kicking Prank World away.

"Your evil cringy pranks end here and now, you vile machine!" Zenkai Gaon declared, blocking another swing, "You have hurt countless fluffy friends!"

"Cringy?! Oh, you are scrap!" Prank World snapped.

"You know it's true!" Zenkai Gaon spoke, using his claws to block another swing, "The fact you're hurt means it's true! Admit that you are a cringy prankster!"

"I am not a cringy pra-Ah!" she pointed behind Zenkai Gaon.

"What?" he asked, spinning around only to spot nothing, "...Eh?"

*CLANG~!*

"GAH!" Zenkai Gaon yelped as he stumbled away from Prank World, who was holding a frying pan with a dent shaped like the back of his head, "Ah! I fell for that?!"

"Yeah, you did! Now time for-gah!?" she cried out as an energy bullet struck her in the back, "Wha?!"

"Bucket head attack!" Kaito shouted, slamming into Prank World and knocking her over, causing the bin to fly off with her, "Freedom~!"

"You gotta be kidding me…" Prank World groaned.

"Ahem."

"Eh?" she looked up to see Roll and Tangle before her with Roll holding a colorfully-wrapped egg up with Tangle's tail behind the larger end, looking like it was going to flick like a finger.

"This will sting," Roll advised before Tangle flicked the back of the egg, causing the front wrapper to pop off and cover Prank World's eyes with a red and purple powder.

"AH!" she cried in pain, "HOW!? MY EYES ARE BIONIC!"

"Yeah, she learned Kikainoid biology is still susceptible to this stuff," Juran spoke, "You gotta rinse that under water for a minute to get it all out."

"Yep. Because I most certainly did not trip and throw one I was holding for her at him by accident," Kaitoh chuckled sheepishly.

"It was a real pain for that afternoon…" Magine sighed.

"AHA!" Prank World shouted, only to run into Amy's Hammer, "GAH!"

"Nope!" Amy smiled.

"Why do you guys have so many friends!?" Prank World complained.

"We're just a friendly bunch of folks!" Kaito beamed, "And we don't prank everyone with bad pranks like you do!"

"You gotta learn to do things in moderation, otherwise it just gets stale and old." Juran added as they loaded their Sentai Gears.

"Like I'd let you guys all transform at once!" Prank World complained, only to yelp when two Blue blurs slammed into her.

"Yaya?!" Vroon gawked as he and Sonic stood there.

"Hah…hah…you…are dense…" Sonic huffed.

"I'm sorry. I eat lots of iron rich foods," Vroon apologized.

"...Is…Is that a joke?" Sonic asked, blinking a few times.

"...maybe…" he muttered sheepishly.

"Everyone's here!" Kaito cheered, "All 7…no! All 8!" he declared, "Minna, Change Zenkai!"

"Follow our lead, newbie!" Juran smiled to Tangle.

"It's easy if you go with the flow." Sonic smirked.

"So just like this…" Tangle spoke, slotting her Sentai gear into the Geartlasher.

=BANG-BANG~! ZAN-ZAN~! BANG-BANG~! ZAN-ZAN~!=

"Change Zenkai!" the team shouted, pulling the triggers on their transformation devices.

=BA-BANG! BA-BANG! BA-BANG! BA-BANG! BABABABANG~! ZENKAISER/ZENKAI JURAN/MAGINE/VROON!=

=ZA-ZAN! ZA-ZAN! ZA-ZAN! ZA-ZAN! ZAZAZAZAN~! ZENKAI KURENAI/COBALT!=

"Change Zenkai!" Tangle cheered, pulling the trigger of the Geartlasher and swinging it down, sending out the projection of her Sentai Gear before it slammed into her, covering her in a layer of energy which caused her to grow taller.

=SAN-JU-ICHI~! ZAN!=

Her suit consisted of a tunic like top, which was colored in a topaz orange with a white center which extended down to the skirt that looped under her black belt. Her gloves were a matching orange as black armor formed over her hands and along her forearms, with a paw pattern along the tops. Her legs were gray on the interior with orange coloring the exterior. Gold lights flashed as her Zenkaiger symbol printed on her torso followed by gold shoulderguards and kneepads followed suit with golden leg guards following.

=ZENKAI TOPAZ!=

Tangle's helmet formed around her head; said helmet was the same topaz orange with an indent in the mouthguard that gave the impression of a cat-like smile. Spike-like marks formed tufts of hair on the sides of the helmet and ears at the top with a black mark forming atop the helmet and a very stylized sunglasses-like visor. A golden '31' formed on her forehead to finish it.

"Oh sugei!" Zenkaiser cheered.

"Kawai!" Zenkai Gaon added.

"Yosh, Minna altogether!" Zenkaiser clapped his hands, "Himitsu no Power…" he held his hand out, "ZENKAISER!"

"Kyoryu power…ZenkaiJuran!"

"Hyakuju Power…ZenkaiGaon!"

"Mahou Power….ZenkaiMagine!"

"Gogo Power…ZenkaiVroon!"

"Ninja Power…Zenkai Kurenai!"

"Engine Power…Zenkai Cobalt!"

"Jyuken Power!" the newest member cheered as she swung one leg back and flipped forward before landing on one knee, with her left leg spread out, her left arm held up to her chest with her elbow pointed forward, her right arm held up in a flexing manner as she turned her head forward, "Zenkai Topaz!"

"Hachi-nin sorete!" Zenkaiser shouted as the 8 all got up as the Four Kikainoids moved to flank him, Cobalt, and Kurenai moving to stand in front of the Kikainoid pairs, before Zenkaiser yelped as Topaz jumped on his back.

"Kikai Sentai!" Topaz declared, swinging her arms up.

"Zenkaiger!" they all declared as the team symbol flashed behind them.

=Ha! Told you she gave Tangy one based off the 31st Super Sentai, Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger!= Skye whooped.

=I shouldn't have bet on Carranger, tune…= Secchan sighed.

"Uso!? Why do you keep adding new members?!" Prank World gawked.

"Nakama no power!" Zenkaiser cheered.

"Power of Friendship!" Zenkai Topaz cheered.

"And you stink, that's why!" they both pointed at Prank World, "Zenryoku Zenkai!" both shouted, rushing forward and jumping into the air as they swung their legs and drop kicked Prank World, sending her stumbling back.

Zenkai Juran and Kurenai rushed forward as they slashed Prank World across the chest before coming to a stop behind her. The two swung around and slashed her across the back, sending her stumbling forward and into Zenkai Gaon's Claw. He growled pushing her back across the ground as sparks came off the impact point. He swung his claws up, slashing her and making her stumble back. As she regained her balance, she gasped as Cobalt ran around Zenkai Vroon and spun his torso around rapidly before it gained enough speed to launch off like a gigantic bulky beyblade and slam into Prank World with multiple impact sparks being seen before she was sent stumbling back.

"Nu Nu Nu Haste!" Zenkai Magine shouted as a magic circle wiped over Zenkai Cobalt.

"WOO~!" he shouted as he vanished in a gust of wind. A Blue blur appeared behind Prank World and kicked her back up into the air, before running up the side of a building and swinging his sword to send her falling towards the ground. He then ran down the building before slashing her…and carrying her down at his now increased speed before slamming her into the ground as he ran off…and into ironically a stop sign, "I'm okay!"

"Gah…" Prank World groaned.

"Hot so fast!" Zenkai Topaz shouted as she jumped and slammed her knee into Prank World's face sending her tumbling over, "I'm not gonna miss my chance to show off for my super hero debut!" she cheered, swinging out her Geartlasher before flipping it up and grabbing it by the secondary handle and twisting it around like a tonfa.

"Full Debut Zenkai!" Zenkaiser cheered.

"Yeah…wait…" Topaz blinked as she turned her head around and spun around a bit, "AH! Kaito! My tail! It's gone!" she panicked, dropping her weapon and grabbing Zenkaiser by the shoulders, "She's gone, my tail is gone! I can't even feel it under this suit!"

"Your tail is a she?" Zenkaiser tilted his head.

"Well duh…but that's not the point!" she shook him, "What's happening!?"

"Well, when you transform with the Sentai Gear, it changes your body into one more like a human to fight with more power," he explained, "Roll is a super Ninja girl and is already tall, Sonic still has his super speed…I guess they don't rely on their extra body parts to fight…"

"It's true!" Cobalt spoke up, "Also…I like being tall!" he cheered.

"But my tail is a part of me!" Topaz panicked.

"Mou, I understand." Zenkaiser sighed, patting her helmet.

"I do like being tall though…but at what cost~!?" she sobbed, hugging Zenkaiser.

"...and people say I'm crazy," Prank World muttered to herself.

"I think we should focus on fighting the crazy lady!" Cobalt sighed.

"You get to keep your power so you don't get it!" Topaz cried.

"Mou Tangle-chan…" Kurenai sighed, only to be dragged into the hug, "...I'm conflicted. This is a distraction from the fight, but…it's also hugging."

"Guys, we're gonna need a minute…so stomp on the bad guy!" Zenkaiser ordered.

"No problem, boss~" ZenkaiCobalt saluted.

"Let's go, minna!" ZenkaiJuran ordered.

"Alright!" Zenkai Cobalt cheered as he and Zenkai Juran ran only to get pelted by gun fire, "I learned nothing!"

"What the what?!" Zenkai Juran panicked.

"Ah! Clove-sama!" Vroon gasped as she marched forward with a battalion of Kudaks and two Kudaiters.

"Give her to me…" Clove stated, a look that promised death on her face as she aimed her scythe at the Zenkaigers, "Give me my sister…"

"Wait…you don't understand; we are helping!" Zenkai Gaon argued.

"Eggman has lied to you both! A true cure does exist!" Zenkai Vroon declared, "I understand your fear and concern…but I can not give her back to you until such a time that she is cured!" he held up his Vroon Picker, "Please understand that I do what I must for her life as well!"

"Ah finally back up…" Prank World sighed walking over to Clove, only to get kicked aside, "GAH!"

"The dead get no help." she replied simply.

"EH!?" Prank World gasped.

"You abandoned my sister…" Clove stated as she turned her gaze towards her, "Your life is forfeit…"

"HEEE~!"

"...Ok...not gonna l-do'h…blasted thing…!" the group looked up to see Barashitara flying into the area, piloting…er…trying to pilot Eggman's EggMobile, "How does that fleshbag pilot this thing?!"

"Barashitara too!?" ZenkaiJuran gawked.

"Oi oi…what is this? Villains on parade day?" Zenkai Cobalt complained, "We had an easy fight till you show up; can't you just let us do the actual life saving?" he complained to Clove, "Ya just had to complicate things."

"Roll escape!" Zenkaiser gasped as he was able to get Kurenai free but now Topaz was clinging to his back, "Ah!? She's a backpack now?!"

"Ahh! I'm a backpack?!" Topaz panicked.

"...right. Men, open fire!" Barashitara ordered.

"Kudakk!" they shouted, aiming their Plug Lancers.

"Run!" Zenkaiser yelped, running with Topaz.

"Yipe!" Topaz yelped as bullets pelted the ground.

"Come on...This thing has to have weapons…!" Barashitara growled, tapping away at the Eggmobile's console.

"First time using it?" Cobalt joked, zipping by a few Kudakk's as they were sent flying by the resulting tailwind.

"BAH!" Barashitara shouted, slapping it with his spear, sending it down to the ground. Everyone flinched as it exploded, only for him to stomp out, "Better! Now…fight me!" he roared.

"We got enough problems!" Zenkai Juran grunted as he blocked his spear.

"Can't you take a hint and just back off!" Zenkai Gaon spoke, pushing Barashitara's spear away as he and Juran slashed his chest only for him to blast them with his many cannons.

"Trust me when I say that I have thought this out. Eggman lied about everything!" Vroon grunted, trading swings with Clove, "She is recovering safely with us!"

"RAGH!" Clove shouted as she slashed him, making Vroon stagger back as sparks came off him, "And then what?! Even if she is cured, we can never leave Eggman's grip! He owns us!"

"That's also wrong! You assume no one can help you, that there is no means of gaining freedom! That is wrong! The world is large and vast, far larger than even he can predict. That's why I can't let her be taken back 'till such a time we can cure her!" he blocked another swing, "I'm not asking you to trust me…because I'm not asking for permission! I will save her! And she will be free to make her own choices! Because I have grown…I am no longer the Vroon who knew nothing, I am the Vroon who has made many friends and learned so much about a wide new world!"

"Oh brother...this heroic speech spiel is really getting…" Prank World began before she was kicked to the side once more, "Ahh!"

"No one wants to hear your boring nonsense," Cobalt chuckled, "No one cares what you think. We got our own life, you're just another loser for us to deal with."

"In fact, Nu Nu Nu Silence!" Zenkai Magine shouted, shooting Prank World with a pink beam as she was now covered in a pink veil of energy…and made no noise at all, "There we go!"

"Nice," Cobalt chuckled.

=Oh Tangy~ I have a suggestion!= Skye called.

"Huh? Mr. S?" Topaz pondered, looking around.

"He's speaking through your helmet," Zenkaiser explained.

=Open your Buckle and grab the Sentai Gear for Kyuranger. If it works, you might have a tail in this form for a bit=

"?! My tail will come back!" Topaz cheered as she messed with her buckle, "C'mon…C'mon…" she slumped, "Kai~! My buckle won't open for the thingy to get my tail!"

"If you'd please get off me…I can help…" Zenkaiser groaned.

"Okay!" Topaz cheered, flipping off him, "Please help~?"

"There's a button on the top you gotta push to unlock it," Zenkaiser pointed at a barely visible button at the top blending into the color scheme.

"Oh!" Topaz beamed as she pushed it and made the buckle open, "Yay! Ooh~Look at all the shiny gears!"

"I know, right? They are just so shiny and sparkly and make all kinds of neat things happen!" Zenkaiser beamed.

=It's fun to polish them, tune= Secchan noted.

"Okay, now you just do this…and this and Bam! And then Dokan! And shoom…and then Wow!" Zenkaiser instructed via sound effects.

"There's no way she actually understood all that," Barashitara muttered.

"Give it a moment," Cobalt stated…while resting on top of his spear before zipping off before he could hit him, "Missed me~!"

"...Starting to realize why the fat one detest you so, hedgehog…!" Barashitaro growled out.

"Oh! I get it! I gotta put the Sentai Gear into where I put my first Gear in the Geartlasher, spin the gear on the top, then push the button again!" Topaz beamed.

"She understood that?!" Barashitara exclaimed in disbelief.

"Seikai~!" Zenkaiser cheered with a thumbs up, "Now…Kick all the butt!"

"Right!" Topaz cheered as she inserted a Gear into her sword and spun the gear on top, "C'mon Tail, Tail, Tail!"

=YON-JU-ICHI~! ZAN! Kyu~ranger!=

The image of an orange ranger with a scorpion-themed helmet and an actual scorpion segmented tail formed next to Topaz. He crossed his arms with a scoff before overlapping with her. She flinched for a moment before looking behind her to see her tail swinging around happily.

"EEE~! My tail is back!" Topaz cheered, hugging it and Zenkaiser, "Oh, I would kiss ya if I didn't think Ay-Ay already had dibs!"

"Yosha! …Matte, nani?" Zenkaiser pondered.

"ATTACK!" Topaz roared, holding her sword like a tonfa once more as she charged at Prank World.

Topaz shouted as she swung around and kicked Prank World. She swung her Geartlasher and slammed the main handle into the World Soldier's stomach before pulling it back and swinging around and whipping her tail around to slap Prank World across the face. Topaz chuckled as she flipped around and used her tail to balance her as she swung an ax kick down to Prank World's shoulder. Prank World grunted as Topaz used her tail to pull her up, the World Soldier left stunned before panicking as Topaz spun around and flipped around her Geartlasher and now had the blade pointing forward. Topaz cheered as she rapidly punched her hand forward and struck Prank World several times with the tip before swinging and slashing her across the abdomen. As she did, she whipped her tail around and sent her spinning through the air.

"And go flying!" Topaz cheered as she jumped up and slammed her knee into Prank World, sending her flying off to the side and towards Zenkaiser.

"Ha!" Zenkaiser shouted, pulling the trigger and cranking the Gertlinger, unleashing a barrage of bullets which pelted Prank World and stopped her mid-air before sending her flying, "Magine!"

"Nu Nu Nu…Dokan~!" ZenkaiMagine shouted, slamming the bottom of her Magine Stick into the ground as a pink magic circle formed and just as Prank World flew into it…she was dragged and pushed down against the ground by intense gravity.

"Nanto?" Barashitara asked as he clashed with ZenkaiJuran and ZenkaiKurenai, "You've all gotten better at this?" he blinked.

"Don't think we're gonna stop improving!" ZenkaiGaon roared, slashing one of the Kudaiter.

"We don't know the meaning of limits on this team!" ZenkaiCobalt cheered clashing with the second Kudaiter.

"We tackle everything Zenryoku Zenkai!" Zenkaiser shouted, "So tell Eggman and your boss this! Give up! 'Cause we'll be here to beat you every time! Try any scheme! It won't work, because we've already saved Cass-chan!" he declared.

"What are you on about!?" Barashitara shouted.

"Barashitara…" Zenkaiser shouted, "You too! You'll lose!"

"I never lose!" Barashitarta shouted, pushing ZenkaiJuran and Kurenai away.

"There's a first time for Everything! And I will be someone who does a World First!" Zenkaiser cheered while slotting a Sentai Gear.

=SAN-JU-ICHI~BANG! Geki~ranger!=

Zenkaiser ran forward as the image of GekiRed formed around him before he jumped into the air. Zenkaiser growled as he came down and punched at Barashitara. The Tojitendo General blocked with his spear only for Zenkaiser to swing his other hand around and suddenly swing it up to hook his arm around the weapon. Barashitara gawked as his weapon was used as leverage against him. Zenkaiser swung him around before kicking Barashitara in the chest, making him grunt. He then gasped as Zenkaiser suddenly spun around and yanked the spear out of his hands. Zenkaiser growled as he tossed it away, he then rushed and unleashed a barrage of punches to his chest and face before swinging around and backhanding him.

"Gekiwaza…Hō Hō Dan!" he roared as powerful red energy formed around his body, he then thrust both arms out as the projection of a giant red tiger flew out and clawed at Barashitara, making him grunt in pain.

Barashitara grunted as he stumbled back a few steps. He then flinched when Zenkai Juran pressed on and slammed his shield into his chest to block his cannon and pushed him back. Barashitara blinked before flinching as he turned to see Zenkai Kurenai with her sword stabbed into his back. He growled pushing Juran back and spun around to hit her only to miss. As the General turned around, he was blindsided by Juran's sword as he and Kurenai slashed their swords across him, making sparks fly. He looked up as Zenkaiser swung his arms around before swinging up, sending out an aura of orange energy which suddenly condensed into a lynx-themed bazooka colored in Red, Blue, and Yellow.

"Ready!" Zenkaier shouted as ZenkaiJuran and Zenkai Kurenai helped him hold it and aim it at Barashitara, "Geki Bazooka!"

With that, the three began infusing the cannon with red and White energy. Making it charge up as Zenkaiser pulled back and opened the mouth of the cat head.

"Buta no Kakuni~!" Zenkaiser shouted as he pulled the trigger sending a massive orb of energy flying at Barashitara. Barashitara fired a powerful beam from his chest cannon; but by the time he fired it off, the orb was so close it exploded with range to send him flying back.

"U-uso!?" A Kudaiter gasped.

"B-Barashitara-sama was pushed back!?" the other shouted.

"Pay attention!" ZenkaiGaon roared, stabbing his claws through the Kudaiter he was fighting.

"You're fighting a whole team of limitless weirdos! Don't forget all of us!" Zenkai Cobalt shouted, slashing his Geartlasher into his enemy's abdomen.

"We are all fighting for a nice and peaceful day!" they shouted as their weapons began glowing.

"Matanabi Ranbu!" Zenkai Gaon roared, slashing through the Kudaiter, ripping him apart and causing him to explode.

"Zenkai Crash!" Zenkai Cobalt declared as he slashed through the Kudaiter as he dashed at a full dash with his top speed leaving the high leveled grunt to slowly fall apart and explode.

"Nu Nu Nu Meteor!" Zenkai Magine declared while shooting a beam of magic, "Piko-Piko version!" She cheered as the Kudakks all looked up at a slowly growing shadow above them, many all dropped their weapons and held one another as a giant Piko-Piko Hammer head slammed down on all of them, making them explode, "Mahou to Yujo, saiko~" she winked.

"GH!" Clove grunted as she skidded back, gripping her scythe as she glared at Zenkai Vroon.

"Gomen, Clove-san. I don't want to fight, but you're not listening!" he apologized, his grip tightening, "But I will fight! For the sake of saving her life…and yours…because now I am strong!" he then tossed his Vroon Picker away, "Gomen…but I will have to knock you out so you will see reason…don't hold it against me, I shall apologize properly after!"

"That's some Kaito level logic…" Zenkai Cobalt chuckled.

"Iko!" ZenkaiVroon roared as he bashed his fists together and charged at Clove.

"Tch…" Clove clicked her tongue before jumping over, flying over Vroon as she quickly turned before stopping, her scythe aimed straight at his neck, "I apologize, Vroon…but I have to do this…for Cassia…"

"But…"

"You're wrong…you think even if we were able to leave…who do you think would accept us?" Clove questioned, "We helped Eggman cause so much harm to Mobius…we were forced to separate people from their loved ones…no one would accept us, even if we left!"

"Wrong!" Zenkai Vroon shouted as his head…popped off and floated into the air, taking her by surprise, "The world is larger and more diverse than you know! There will be someone to accept you no matter your sins!" he spoke as his torso spun around and grabbed her scythe, "I will accept you at the least, and never abandon you as my friends!" his body spun her around as his head landed back in place, "That is what we Zenkaigers are here for! We will make a new world for all of us to live in together!" he stopped spinning as he reared his fist back, "So please…stop looking down on yourself; if not for your sake…then for Cassia's sake!" he shouted, swinging a punch as he struck the scythe instead of her and snapped it apart.

"?!" Clove's eyes widened in shock, staggering back in surprise as she held onto the broken halves of her weapon.

"You are her sister…you must be positive for her sake, too…she needs you," ZenkaiVroon spoke up, "The more you refuse to find a new hope, the more you hurt not only yourself but her…please!" he got down on his knees, "Give hope one more chance!" he bowed.

"...Vroon…" Clove whispered, looking down at the broken weapon in her hand, his words echoing within her mind as she closed her eyes, "...and you are sure…you found a cure….an actual cure?"

"Yes."

"...I…" Clove began before she tensed, crying out as she fell to her knees.

"?!"

=Oh ho ho~! Naughty n-BBZZT!-ty~= Eggman's voice came from the wreckage of the Eggmobile =You really think you can defy me that easily?=

"Actually…yeah…we do." Zenkai Cobalt spoke as he appeared with a case, "Fresh from the Doc!" he cheered as he put some sort of collar around Clove with a picture of a yellow hedgehog head mixed with a gear on it, "Inhibitor device that makes her immune to all your shenanigans~"

=...You think I'm an idiot? As if that would work!= Eggman laughed =And since Clove was defiant…..a sh-bzzt!-ame. She was a good Grandmaster too, but…we can always rebuild that section from scratch=

"?!" Clove tensed as she shut her eyes, as if to await the incoming explosion….and yet….it never came, "..."

=...Wh…Where's the boom? Th-there should be a-BBBZZZT!- boom!=

"Boom," Juran spoke as he fired at the Eggmobile, further destroying it.

"Told ya~!" Cobalt chuckled, "The Doc might be goofy, but he's reliable!"

"This power, this potential, it was all meant to help people!" Zenkaiser added, "Searching worlds for cures to help people the world over, unite as friends. That's why we fight!"

"See…" ZenkaiVroon spoke, "We can make a better world together. We can find knowledge that is yet to be found together. To make a better tomorrow for all." he reached out and held Clove's hand, "Please…Cassia is waiting for you in that new world to be explored!"

"..." Clove said nothing as she just sat there on her knees, her hand lightly tracing the collar on her neck as the sounds of the battle began to grow silent to her, "...Vroon?"

"Hai?"

"Please…" Clove paused as she looked up, letting him see the tears in her eyes, "Don't tell me…this is all a dream…"

"Never! This is real!" He shouted, "Please…like me…have faith in someone who showed me how wide the world really is." He looked at Zenkaiser as he faced down Barashitara, "Even if your future as a family takes you anywhere you dream…know that I will always be your friend and here when you need me!"

"...It's…It's so sweet…" the three female Zenkaigers all sobbed while holding one another.

"...tch. Prank World's right...This whole hero dribble is just too sweetingly boring," Barashitara gagged before blocking a strike from Zenkaizer.

"No one is asking you!" Zenkaiser shouted, kicking Barashitara, "Someone like you would never understand, and this doesn't involve you!"

"I feel involved!" Barashitara complained.

"Boot to the face!" Zenkaiser shouted, landing a spinning hook kick to Barashitara's face.

"D'oh! Grr…Prank World, stop fooling around and attack!"

"?!-?!-?!" Prank World flailed her arms around widely, pointing to the veil covering her.

"I don't care if you can't speak, just attack!"

"Surprise attack!" Cobalt shouted as he crashed into Prank World, sending her flying right towards the others.

"GAH! I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!" Barashitara snapped.

"Minna, let's finish this!" Zenkaiser ordered.

"We shall talk in a bit!" Vroon spoke, "Wait right here where it is safe!" he stumbled up as he rushed to join the team, "Wait! It takes me longer to get up!" he panicked.

"Come on, Vroon!" Zenkaiser laughed as they all stood side by side and waited for him.

"Hai!" Vroon nodded, looking back at Clove for a moment, "...I…"

"Vroon…" Clove paused, wiping the tears from her eyes as she got up, "...Do not hold back on the enemy…"

"HAI!" he nodded.

"Todome Zenkai!" Zenkaiser cheered, cranking the Geartlinger.

"Ooh~ Yay! My first finishing attack!" Zenkai Topaz cheered, doing the same with the Geartlasher.

=HERO~! SUPER ZENKAI TIME!=

"?!" Prank World panicked, shooting up as she began to run away as fast as possible.

"Zenkai Final Buster!" the Zenkaigers all shouted as the Geartlasher users swung their blades horizontally, unleashing massive arcs of energy which flew off, just as the Geartlinger uses fired their massive beams of energy. The two types of attacks clashed causing a massive flash of light before firing off as a wide spreading beam of multicolored light which swallowed up Prank World. The World Soldier falling over and exploding.

"...idiots. I…I'm surrounded by idiots…" Barashitara facepalmed, "Grr…screw it. KUDAITEST!"

"Oyobidesuka?" a Kudaitest asked as it walked out around a building before stepping on a banana peel, "WHOA!" he slipped on it and fell over, making everyone jump several feet in the air from him landing butt-first on the broken Tojiru Gear.

"...We really need to get those things away before the giant guys appear," Cobalt muttered as the Kudaitest began to change..along with the entire area as the different buildings became themed after certain types of prank toys.

"Pranks! Pranks all around!" Great Prank World laughed, sending out pulses of energy that formed various prank paraphernalia all over.

"Ah crud! Guys, Giant Robot battle time!" Zenkaiser shouted.

"YES!" Zenkai Topaz cheered, climbing onto his shoulders and raising a hand up, "How we do that?"

"We're going ahead!" the four Kikainoid Rangers shouted.

=BIG BANG!=

"Juran Tyranno!/Gaon Lion!/Magine Dragon!/Vroon Dump!"

"Awesome~!" Topaz gasped as the giant Zenkaigers tackled over Great Prank World.

"And I'm in range of getting caught in the crossfire," Clove cringed, "And not a viable way to get out of the way."

"Eh, no problem!" Cobalt assured as he picked her up, "I'll just drop ya where someone's set up to do the stream."

"St-stream? Wh-" Clove began before Cobalt ran off with her in a blur, "Ahh!"

"Hmm…Ah! Idea~" Kurenai giggled as she ran off after Cobalt, the trio halting at a safe distance with a perfect view.

"Eh? Roll, what are you…?" Cobalt began as Kurenai inserted a Sentai Gear, spun it, and swiped her sword.

=HURRI~CANGER!=

"Cho Ninpo: Mai Shishi!" Kurenai declared as a duplicate of her appeared beside her before the original put another Gear in, "And…"

=MAGI~RANGER!=

"Maagi Magiiro!" Kurenai declared as she pointed her MagiStick at her duplicate, causing it to glow pink before being replaced with a duplicate of Roll, "Yosha!" she pulled out the Camera Gear and activated it, "You know what to do, me!"

"Hai~!" Roll saluted with an excited smile.

"Eh…" Cobalt gawked, rubbing his visor a few times, "I didn't know this was an option."

"I took a gamble," Kurenai shrugged before they ran off to join the giant battle.

"...So are you…?" Clove awkwardly tried to ask.

"Don't question it so it doesn't work anymore, please," Roll pleaded quietly before spinning around to the cameras, "Konnichiwa, minna~! Watashi wa Roll desu~! And with me today is Clove-san, formerly of the Eggman Empire due to the mean doctor blackmailing her and her adorable little sister that's getting some much needed medical treatment now that the Zenkaigers learned of the blackmail!"

"D-Don't just…" Clove began.

"Yosha! Giant Robo Battle Time~!" Roll steamrolled over the attempted complaint, "Today's foe is a devious prankster known as Great Prank World! And I am so sorry for any of you that fall for one due to this Great World's influence. Already JuranTyranno, GaonLion, MagineDragon, and VroonDump are out and doing the first blows!"

'I am really regretting not watching those videos of these with Cassia when she asked,' Clove thought with a drop of sweat going down the back of her head.

"Get em good!" Zenkai Topaz cheered, "Quick! What can we do, boss?!" she looked to Zenkaiser.

"Eh…well I don't grow big. My power is I can make things combine," he explained, putting his hands together like that giant hologram often did.

"Ohh! Then what can I do?" Topaz asked, "...oh I hope my mech's super cool!"

=Ufufufufu~Oh, it is glorious indeed!=

=Ack! Ayane?! When did you get in here, tune?!=

=I barely escaped my tunnel when it got filled with pie catapults. But it matters not! It is the perfect counter to any slippery obstacles from this Great World! Flip your original transformation Gear in the Geartlasher and spin, you crazy lemur, spin!=

"Ahh~! Righty!" Topaz beamed, converting her weapon back to normal as she followed Ayane's instructions.

=BIG BANG!=

"Aim up just to be safe!" Zenkaiser ordered.

"Oh right!" Topaz nodded, thrusting her Geartlasher up as something shot from the tip upwards.

=GO! GO! GOGOGO!=

At that, a Sentai Gear-like portal opened up as something fell out…before rapidly growing to a giant height of 50 meters. Standing there was a tall humanoid robot, it was colored in the same shade or orange as Topaz. It had black stripes along the sides of the legs and its jutting out shoulder armor. Its arms were silver with black arm bands from the upper arm to the elbow with orange gauntlets with black padding over the wrists, each fist was covered in red armor covering the knuckles with bladed claws extending out. The legs were all orange with black going down the center down to the large lower legs which had shin armor decorated with six yellow spots each, and ending in clawed feet. ITs torso was all orange with black stripes along the abdomen, and a black central plate in the solar plexus with the Zenkaiger symbol in the center. The head was clad in a helmet resembling what seemed to be a Tiger head at first glance, but on a second look seemed more akin to a different animal as well, maybe a Lemur. A humanoid face was seen in the mouth which was silver with sculpted human features and a red visor over the eyes.

"Eeeeeee…" Topaz squealed, stars glittering off her from her excitement, "It's so big and cool and mine~!"

"It just needs a name to shout out when you summon it next time!" Zenkaiser smiled, "It's yours now, Tangle…Name your mecha…name it~!"

"Oh I got one in mind now~!" Topaz beamed before dramatically pointing straight into the air, "Warrior Queen TopazTohja!"

=...That is honestly better than my original name for it= Ayane muttered.

=What was it, tune?=

=I refuse to say!=

=Lemur Warrior TopazAmazon=

=P-Papa~! Why~?!=

"Now how…do I…get in?" Topaz looked to Zenkaiser.

"I just do a video game jump and teleport in." Zenkaiser explained.

"...We get to video game jump, too?" Topaz squeaked in joy, "Best. Day. Ever~!" she crouched down before jumping up to TopazTohja, going into it and landing in a misty orange version of the cockpit of ZenkaiOh, "Whoo! This is amazing! Oh! I can see Jewel's museum from here!" she cringed, "Ooh…it's got a giant whoopie cushion on it. Jewel hates those after the last time I used them on April Fools Day." she then blinked, "How do we move?"

=It's easy. See the little red tabs on the secondary handle? Open those and lock it into that stand. Then from there it will follow your every mental command=

=If it helps, you can also do small punches and kicks to help you with figuring out the mental commands= Skye added =Many Sentai that use mental commands for their mechs do it=

=The Sentai you are themed after had a Motion capture and copy style, so if it helps just shadow box and the robot will copy, tune!=

"Oh, I like that!" Topaz beamed as she flipped out the tiny red tabs and put it on the stand, "Whoo! Let's go, TopazTohja!"

"Oh! A new contender has appeared!" Roll awed as TopazTohja hopped in place as it held its fists up.

"Sugei!" Zenkaiser cheered, "Minna, let's support! Vroon Magine, gattai!" he shouted, flipping his gear.

=ZENKAIOH~ VROOMAGINE!=

"Don't think you'll be getting close to me!" Great Prank World roared as it swung its arms out, creating multiple banana peels, oil slicks, and hovering bags of feathers and buckets of tar all around it.

"Yosha, Tangle, move forward with no restraint!" Zenkaiser spoke, "Leave the prank traps to us!" the head of VrooMagine was 'chomped' by its two coverings and opened up, "Ike Magine!"

=MAGINE!=

"Hai! Nu Nu Nu Counter Prank~!"

ZenKaiOh VrooMagine swung the Magine Stick around as purple light shone and each and every prank along TopazTohja's path was neutralized or swept away.

"NANI?!" Great Prank World exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yosha! Surprise attack!" GaonLion roared, jumping at Great Prank World from behind only to yelp as a bucket of tar dumped on him followed by feathers, "Ah! I'm GaonChicken?!"

"Oi, oi…" JuranTyranno groaned, trying to facepalm with his tiny hands, "Only one path was cleared…"

"Pfft…" Roll looked over at Clove, who was trying to keep her stoic expression yet her lips were trembling, "H-He got turned into a chicken…"


=What is with my big sis and chicken jokes always making her crack up?= Cassia whined, facepalming and trying to not look at the feed on the laptop set up by her temporary bed.

"Just shows that your sister's just as alive as the rest of us," Yatsude snickered, repeatedly clicking the screenshot button whenever Gaon 'Chicken' was shown, "This is just gold."

=Gonna put them in a joke book for your store?=

"Well, it was meant to be used for when Gaon gets too excited, but that is much better," Yatsude noted, patting her head, "I can already tell you're going to be a good girl for this ragtag family."


"Let's go!" Topaz roared as she charged at Great Prank World.

TopazTohja swung its arms and slashed Great Prank World across the chest with a rapid barrage of hook punches. The giant robot swung its leg up and kicked Great Prank World across the face, making sparks fly. It stumbled back and yelped when ZenKaiOh VrooMagine pelted it with laser fire from the Vroon Picker in crossbow mode.

"Oh wow! Look at that skill! Despite its attempts, Great Prank World cannot get a single hit in on TopazTohja's sleeker, flexible form!" Roll awed before gawking, "Eh?! How did that happen?!"

"You should have changed forms before trying to help me with this!" GaonLion snapped.

"Mmm-hmm-mmm-hmhmhm…" JuranTyranno muffled out, his jaws stuck in the tar and feathers.

"...These are the ones who have dealt major blows to the Tojitendo and Eggman Empire…" Clove sighed, facepalming, "I'm not upset…I'm just disappointed with my former bosses."

"Maji da…" Zenkaiser gawked, "It should clean when we win, Ike! TopazTohja!"

"You got it boss! Battle cry!" ZenkaiTopaz shouted as she charged forward.

"I won't let you!" Great Prank World declared, about to swing its arms up only for a chain to wrap around it and pin its arms together, "Eh?!"

"Now, now. None of that," Kurenai scolded as SakuraMaru appeared on its back, wagging a finger at Great Prank World.

"Attack!" at that, TopazTohja rushed and swung a roundhouse kick to Great Prank World. TopazTohja swung around and landed a powerful blow to the Great World's side, making sparks fly. It swung around and landed a backhand strike that slashed Great Prank World.

"Coming through!" Cobalt's voice shouted as Cobalt Boy in wheel mode slammed into Great Prank World's head and knocked it over.

"And homerun!" Zenkaiser cheered as ZenKaiOh VrooMagine swung the Magine Stick like a bat and sent Cobalt Boy back at Great Prank World.

"Goal!" ZenkaiTopaz cheered as TopazTohja kicked Cobalt Boy and back into Great Prank World for a third time.

"Spike!" ZenkaiKurenai called out as SakuraMaru spiked Cobalt Boy and struck Great Prank World a final time, knocking it away from them.

"Gah! Why you…" Great Prank World groaned, managing to stop stumbling back only to notice it was under a shadow, "Hm?" it looked up just in time for one of its own tar buckets to dump on it followed by the feathers, "Ah! I've fallen for my own prank?!"

"How do ya like it now, ya Tebi-yaro?!" GaonLion demanded, shaking a paw only for it to hit JuranTyranno's tail and get stuck on it, "Aw come on! Blow it up already, please! This is disgusting!"

"Mmm…" JuranTyranno muffled out an annoyed noise.

"Hissatsu Zenkai!" Zenkaiser declared while he then began cranking his Geartlinger as Kurenai and Topaz did the same with their Geartlashers.

"Yosha! Hissatsu waza time!" Roll cheered.

"Yes! The finisher! This is the best day of my life!" Topaz cheered.

"Ike! Trinity Zenkai Strike!" Zenkaiser shouted.

ZenKaiOh VrooMagine dashed forward with SakuraMaru as the two swung their weapons and slashed an X into Great Prank World. As the Monster stumble back, it stopped before looking up as TopazTohja jumped into the air and aimed its legs forward for a drop kick; but as it did, its body from the waist down began rapidly spinning and like a drill tore its way through Great Prank World's torso, leaving a giant gaping hole in the center.

"Ah! The one who got pranked the most in the end…" Great Prank World groaned as it collapsed before exploding, letting loose a wave that dismissed all the changes it created, "...was me!"

"Sekai Zenkai, All OK!" Zenkaiser cheered happily before yelping with VroonMagine.

"Whoo-hoo!" Topaz cheered as TopazTohja had pounced on VroonMagine and now on their shoulders, "Oh that was the best! I'm having such a rush!"

"Ah! Off please!" Magine pleaded.

"She's not that heavy," Vroon noted.

"Not that heavy?! I feel like my back is going to give out!"

"Mine…already did…" JuranTyranno groaned, lying on his side on the ground with his back bent strangely.

"AH! Juran!" Zenkaiser panicked, "Roll, call the chiropractor!"

"Eh-heh-heh…W-Well, minna. That's all for today's Giant Robo Battle!" Roll laughed awkwardly, "Until next time~!"

"I blame the lion for getting his paw stuck. His attempts to pull it off did it," Clove shook her head.

"Please stop adding fuel to the growing fire…" the copy pleaded.


"Yosha! Her medicine!" Skye declared, placing a small bag before Clove, "Make sure she takes one pill with each meal until there are no more pills. Once that happens, she's cured."

=Straight from the notes Kaito's mother took when observing Meditopia, tune!= Secchan added from his usual spot near the dinner table.

=Bleh…= Cassia groaned.

=Don't be a baby, tune!=

"Oh, that reminds me," Skye noted as he took out a screwdriver and poked a spot on Cassia's head, causing her jaw to drop and let him twist something in it before poking the spot again, "Chalk up another issue on my list of complaints with that man."

"What did you do?" Clove asked, narrowing her eyes.

"Ugh…Was that a pressure point like those characters with the weird blind eyes in the ninja fighting games like to hit?" Cassia asked, her voice sounding more natural than mechanical, "?!"

"And your bill," Skye stated, giving Clove a tiny slip of paper.

"...Just three Yen?" Clove repeated in disbelief at the bill's total amount.

"What? It was a tiny loose screw," Skye replied.

"Hai, hai, hai! Dinner is served!" Gaon declared as he and Roll came out with several plates, "Yosha! Roll-chan made tonight's meal! Japanese Braised Pork Belly with Kikaitopia scallions as the garnish!"

"Eh?" Skye nodded, "What made you decide to make this?"

"Something Kaito shouted right in my ear in the fight," Roll shrugged, "Got stuck in my head and made me in the mood for it all."

=Eh? Masaka, you mean the GekiBazooka?= Secchan gawked.

"Looks delicious!" Juran beamed.

"So…you got to help two more folks get out of a bad situation, beat up a bad prankster twice, and got to fight a giant robot with a giant robot," Sonic noted, looking over at Tangle, "Enjoying it so far?"

"I love it! I'm never leaving; every day is an adventure here!" she cheered.

"It's never dull," Yatsude sighed, "We finally got another cute girl and she's more or less the granddaughter I never got." she glanced at Tangle, "And a Kaito if he was a girl."

"I'm gonna get that a lot, aren't I?" Tangle asked.

"I think so…" Kaito shrugged.

"Well it'll never be boring," Sonic chuckled.

"I love it…we just keep collecting fluffy friends!" Gaon smiled happily, "It's paradise!"

"...Aw shoot!" Cassia whined.

"What's wrong?" Clove asked.

"I only had my Switch on me when I went out for that solo mission," Cassia pouted, "If I had known we'd be outta there, I would've brought the PS4 and Xbox, too."

"...Take your pill," Clove ordered.

"Aw hackers…" she groaned as she picked up her medicine, "Mmm…" she hesitated.

"Vroon."

"On it," he smiled, getting up and picking Cassia up before pushing the pill into her mouth, "It's for your own good, you will get better, I promise! Please put up with a little displeasure."

"Blarg…it's so bitter on the way down…"

"The best medicine is always bitter," Skye defended.

"..." Haseo slid a cup of strawberry milk over to Cassia, who quickly drank it.

"Thanks!" Cassia beamed, petting his head.

"Mmm…" Haseo mumbled before his ears twitched, "Eh?"

"What's up?" Cassia asked before Clove jumped back as her seat rose up and Ayane crawled out.

"..." everyone but a confused Cassia quickly moved their plates off the table as the HedgeLynx sat beside Skye.

"Um…Who's that?"

"Ayane. She's my little sister," Roll explained before the HedgeLynx laughed.

"TopazTohja scored a point higher in three of four comparison tests!" she cheered, "Oh it was just perfect! Excellent work, Test Subject Two!" she glowered at Sonic, "Far better than Test Subject One."

"Nee-chan," Roll facepalmed.

"Can we not, Onee-chan?" Haseo whined.

"Why are we talking about tests?" Kaito asked, confused, "Did I fail again? …Unless it's gym…I always pass gym."

"Hai, hai. You did great on it. Nice touch on the lemur motif to it," Skye complimented, patting her head.

"It was a rush job once she transformed. Should have it better tuned before the next time it's needed," the HedgeLynx sighed in content, leaning into the petting hand.

"So when she's happy…she's cute." Tangle muttered, "Must be a rare sight in this place."

"I don't know; she tends to be pretty happy with her family." Kaito smiled.

"She's also the one who took care of the explosives in Cassia's implants while she was asleep," Amy noted.

"Huh? It wasn't you?" Cassia asked, looking at Skye.

"No. I have a degree in robotics, not medical," Skye replied, "She took online courses for the one I don't have to one up me when she thinks I'm a rival in science."

"Ay-Ay is really amazing," Kairo complimented, "A bit shy, but we're working on it, right?"

=Aye!= Secchan agreed.

"Yosha!" Katio cheered, patting Ayane's shoulder, "Great job with helping her!"

"?!" Ayane froze up.

"...And she remembered where she is," Skye sighed.

"Ah! No smoke bomb near the sick child!" Vroon yelped, tackling her and Kaito.

"EEK!"

"Ah! Heavy!"

"...These guys are so cool," Cassia whispered to Clove, the older sister just watching the shenanigans that broke out due to Vroon tackling the HedgeLynx.

'What have I gotten myself into?' the older pronghorn mentally deadpanned while physically responding to her sister by petting her head.

"It's okay…I think I took most of the Vroon impact…Ay-ay…you okay?" Kaito groaned.

"Mmm…." Ayane whimpered, her eyes wide and blank with a heavy blush on her face.

"Hah…it's never dull around here…" Juran sighed as he put some extra servings on Clove and Cassia's plates, "Here…you kids eat up, you look like you haven't had a good meal in a while. You're still young so you need all the good food you can get while you're at that age where you can eat anything!"

"..."

"...sis?" Cassia spoke.

"This…This is our life now, isn't it?" Clove asked.

"I hope so!" Cassia smiled.

"Hai~hai, enjoy! Tell me how it tastes!" Gaon cheered, "It will help me know what meals to make you from now on! Anything you want just ask me!"

"Oi, oi, don't spoil the kid…" Juran spoke.

"I can spoil her all I want, you old bucket of bolts!" Gaon complained.

"Yeah! He can spoil me!" Cassia beamed before flinching at the stern frown Clove gave her, "...ahh sis…"

"...I suppose just for tonight," Clove noted after a moment.

"Yay!" Cassia cheered.

"But it has to be reasonable," Clove quickly added, "Last time you were spoiled, you had everyone in the Northamer base look high and low for one of your game consoles…"

"Well of course! You know how hard it is to even find a Switch still?! I can barely even find a PS5!" Cassia complained.

"Eh, I'll see what I can find," Skye shrugged, "You're gonna have to do chores to earn it, though…once you're fully recovered, of course."

"Hah?! Chores?!" Cassia gawked.

"I second the motion," Clove stated.

"Oof…I feel your pain," Tangle cringed.

"Considering you're going to be staying in my home/place of business, of course you are gonna be getting chores once you're all better," Skye replied, "Much like your sister will be working for room and board."

"I expected as much," Clove nodded, "Under you, I suppose, Mr. Sakurai?"

"Nope. Over here. You're helping Yaya corral these kiddos during business hours," Skye replied, "Gaogao and Maginy especially."

"Won't be any different from working at the Northmaer base," Clove admitted.

"Sis always did make sure things were organized there and that no one was hurt," Cassia added.

"I wonder what will happen now that you guys defected?" Magine noted.

"Yeah, that's a good point. What will happen to the power structure there?" Amy asked.


"YOU FOOLS!" Boccowaus shouted as he dangled Eggman and Ijirude over a pit of boiling oil, "You can't even focus long enough to fix a mess like this!? First, you make our own soldiers too opinionated to ignore orders and then fail at keeping an agent from defecting!? Let alone two?! I should fry you into charcoal!"

"Ahh! W-w-wait! We can explain!" Eggman panicked.

"We were so focused on something new!" Ijirude added.

"EXCUSES!"

"Actually, my lord…" Starline spoke as he walked in, earning Boccowaus' attention, "Their little experiment is finished."

"Hmm?"

"Yes…and from what I've read from their research notes…" Starline began.

"You what?!" Eggman snapped, "That was supposed to be a secret!"

"And weren't you going to present it yourself once it was done, my lord?" Starline questioned.

"...Darn, he's good," Eggman muttered.

"He makes the best lattes. Of course he's good," Ijirude agreed.

"As I was saying, Lord Boccowaus, their latest experiment…well according to their research notes, it'll rival the Zenkaigers and their tech."

"H-How did you find our notes?" Ijirude asked.

"Hmm?" Barashitara blinked as a figure jumped down, making them all blink at seeing the human young man with long black hair dressed in all black, "...Omae…"

"I showed it to him," the young man bowed as this was his first appearance in this space to many.

"Stacy…" Boccouwas spoke, "I never expected the son of Barashitara to appear in my court."

"Son!?" the Grandmasters all shouted.

"What…?" Barashitara asked, "I get around…" he argued.

"Stacy, how could you?! We trusted you!" Ijirude called out.

"I needed to do something. If I didn't you'd both be dead thanks to Barashitara putting the blame on you two." Stacy pointed out as he brushed his bangs aside, "And I still need you to perfect my new tools. How am I going to prove your work is perfect if you're not around to fine tune it?"

"This boy's really good," Eggman noted under his breath.

"I know, right? How he came from that…" Ijirude quietly motioned towards Barashitara, "...I will never figure out."

"Wait…if he's…your son…why is he human?" Tundra asked.

"My mother was human, you fat slob," Stacy answered, causing Akhult to grab and lift Tundra before he could try to stomp up to him, "And stay out of things that don't concern you." he warned with a glare as his eye flashed violet, "You'll live longer that way."

"I believe she was wife Number…what was it…eh…" Barashitara muttered, "Wife number 398…no that's not right…"

"893…" Stacy frowned.

"Ah that's right!" he nodded.

'893?!' the Grand Masters all thought in disbelief.

"I…but…genetics and…huh?" Eggman muttered in shock.

"She was a fighter…hehehe…" Barashitara chuckled.

"Disgusting fool…" Stacy frowned, "No wonder you can't beat those idiots."

"What did you say, boy?!" Barashitara snapped, stomping over as they glared at one another, "Heh…So you are my son!" he laughed, "Very well…let's play this game, Stacy!"

"Hmph…" Stacy scoffed.

"...ugh. I'll bite," Lien-Da sighed, deciding to keep the conversation going as she looked at Starline, "How exactly is this new invention gonna beat the Zenkaigers?"

"Oh simple…you know the phrase 'fight fire with fire?' Well…" Starline began as Stacy pulled out an object from his coat, "To fight a Sentai…you need a Sentai."

Stacy held up…a Geartlinger…no…that wasn't right. It was a deep purple and had a red tipped barrel and accents. Its bird head resembled that of Gege including the large bladed plumage and the crank resembled a purple TojiruGear. Stacy then produced a dark purple Sentai Gear with the kanji for 'Dark' set next to the silver image of a Ranger. Stacy smirked as he opened the Gun and set the gear in.

"Ankoku Change…" he stated as he cranked the gun.

=JABAN! STACEASAR~!=


SZ: Ladies and gents….he's finally arrived…

Z0: Yes…yes he has. One of the best characters of Zenkaiger.

GT: Fun fact for those new to the series that are introduced through this story, Stacy wasn't meant to have the ability that will appear. It was actually added in at the last second. …*looks to Z0*...I said that right, right?

Z0: yep. His actor actually auditioned for the role of Kaito first, but they liked his work so much they decided to make him part of the cast as the Rival.

GT: More you know, eh? Anywho…PREVIEW DA!


Jikai, Zenkai Speed!

Kaito: Eh, who are you?

Stacy: This is the great Zenaksier…pathetic…

Tangle: Ah…hot guys fighting…

Gaon: But Honestly! I saw another me at the store!

Sonic: Oi, oi, oi! I have not been causing that kind of trouble, dang it!

Cassia: Anyone feel like we're being spied on?

Eggman: I've sent out my best spy. If anyone can find their secrets, especially their secret base, my spy can.

?: I finally found you…

Gear 12: The Prince of the Demon World is Short-Tempered and has an Imposter Among Us!

Haseo and Nicole: Kawaii~


GT: Fans of the current iteration of Sonic the Hedgehog comics may be aware of what comes.

Z0: You know who's on their way.

SZ: Another fan favorite~ Ahem…anyways we hope you enjoyed this chapter and…*sees a copy of GT standing next to him*...uh….gt?

Z0: I got it…I know a simple way to prove which is GT and which is a faker…*pulls out Doomslayer Shotgun* Whoever dies from getting shot in the face first is no longer GT!

GT: AH! Uh, p-please Read and Review, folks!

Z0: Stand still so I can shoot you both! *shotgun shots can be heard*
