GT: *pokes head out with a raspy ominous voice while slowly pulling head back in* Soon~
Z0: *explosion comes from the studio followed by laughter* Yeah no time to explain all that… *walks back in as several people tried to run only for a red hand to drag them all back inside* Anywho! What's on todays script!? *reads script* oh dang time for us to get…Serious…

GT: Very HYPED!
Z0: Well I'm trying to be original, but I've been binge watching Bleach in preparation of the return so…I'll just do this to start the story *pulls out giant ass sword* Getsuga….TENSHO! *everything explodes*
=Senkai no…ZENKAIGER!= Secchan declared, standing atop the TV =After dealing with lots of troubles with all sorts of fears with Magine's sending her into going giant dragon on the enemy, our Shy Awoo Whisper transforms into the final member of our team, tune! EH?! Skye has another kid?! And who keeps watching us battle, tune?!=
"You two knew?!" Juran gawked.
"Of course we did. Meilu-chan is the only reason Kaito passed third grade…and fourth…a-and fifth now that I think about it…" Yatsude replied as she muttered at the end.
"And she's not in those pictures you showed because…?" Sonic asked, looking to Roll before pulling out the beach photo.
"Oh, that's because Nee-chan was the one taking those pictures," Roll replied, "She's really camera shy. The key is to distract her in order to get a picture of her."
"...Okay fair point, but even still!"
"You guys act like it's a crime we never told you…" Kaito muttered, "She's family, and shy, and not here…" he motioned, "It's not like we wanted to keep it a secret, plus…" he motioned to Roll as she pulled out a scroll and they unrolled it, revealing it to be a family tree, "See…We've shown you her family tree before and look: there's her name there."
"'Meilumai Allouette Sakurai?'" Vroon read, bending in close to read the name beside Roll's.
"Meimei's a good kiddo. Very studious, but not to Ay-Ay's level," Skye chuckled, "Second best kunoichi of the trio, too. If she don't wanna be found, you ain't gonna find her unless you're Roll."
"Oh…Like a super-hard secret unlockable character that you need a specific character and conditions to be met to unlock?" Cassia compared.
"Close," Roll replied, closing her eyes while putting a hand over her heart, "I do know she's out here somewhere."
"How so?" Magine asked.
"Sakurai Twins have a deep bond between one another that lets them 'feel' wherever the other is. It's why they're not allowed to be hiding if the other is seeking in Hide and Seek," Skye explained.
"They either share or never get to be it," Kaito added, "We ruled share for hard mode." he explained with a cheeky smile.
=So who won hide and seek the most, tune?=
"Haseo," Kaito, Roll, Yatsude, and Skye all replied, pointing at the twin-tailed fox as he nibbled on a blueberry muffin.
"Hmm?" he blinked, noticing all eyes on him, but didn't stop nibbling.
"...Yeah, I can see that," Gaon nodded.
"He can be really sneaky when he wants to be," Amy agreed.
"His sneaking skill must be maxed out," Cassia guessed.
"He must be hard to find for babysitters," Tangle muttered.
"Well by a non-Sakurai Babysitter that is…" Yatsude sighed, "We had to ban smoke bombs back when he was even more shy and nervous…"
"He used to only say one word every time he talked," Roll explained, "It was so cute…until he fired off the smoke bombs."
"Evil," Ayane muttered, giving Haseo a stink eye when he wasn't looking.
"It took a lot of support, love, and cookies to help him get as far as he is now. He's even a little sassy sometimes~" Kaito smiled.
"?" Whisper blinked a bit at that before looking at Haseo, who just blinked back at her in return.
"Come to think of it…Whisper-san reminds me of Haseo a little…back in those days…" Kaito mused as Roll joined him in similar contemplation.
"...Do you have a preferred sweet, Whisper-san?" Roll asked.
"...You are not training me with treats…" Whisper muttered.
"Try and stop us!" Tangle cheered before leaning uncomfortably close towards Whisper, "Now out with it, woman…"
"..." Whisper poked her with her Multitool.
"Right, right. Sorry," Tangle sheepishly apologized before a smoke bomb went off, "Ah! Ack! Gak! Mouth was open! Mouth was open!"
"Haseo…!" Roll groaned as the smoke settled, revealing no Whisper and no Haseo…and all the blueberry-related treats for the party missing.
"I th-thought we confiscated them all!" Ayane groaned.
"I thought you always made sure to hide the eggs and chestnut shells when you use them, Roll-chan…" Kaito coughed.
"Ah…Er…" everyone looked to a sheepish Gaon, "I guess that's why he asked me for a chestnut earlier?"
"...oh Gaon…" Amy facepalmed.
"Hmm…Such a complex genome sequence…" Starline muttered, looking at a sheet of paper being printed from a laptop-connected printer with a small device housing the fur and quill sample of Roll in it attached to the laptop, "So many recessive genetics…Ah, this will be a brilliant project to work on."
"So an ability to store genetic abilities from past generations…" Stacy noted, "That sounds rather dangerous…like a mistake waiting to happen from the right trigger…Oh you plan to abuse this, don't you…" he sighed.
"But of course. Will need to make sure to take precautions," Starline replied, "But this can come later. Are you ready to introduce yourself to them?"
"Hmm…My power was made to counter Zenkaiser," he spoke, "But his retainers, they can become giant war machines, or have this strange Mobian trait of unquantifiable power." he mused as he looked at the gun in his hand.
"True. But you have a counter for those 'giant war machines.' As for the Mobians…" he looked at the sample of Roll's fur and quills, "Hopefully, Mimic can get the other samples I requested sooner rather than later."
Stacy looked at images of the Zenkaigers as he focused on Roll for a moment, 'For some reason…this one seems familiar…like I've seen someone like her before…Hmm…this is going to bother me if I don't check…' he walked off without another word.
"Hmm…What if I used this with the project we aborted…?" Starline pondered, focused on the data he was gathering, "Hmm…possibly…That octopus better bring the samples sooner rather than later."
Stacy said nothing as he closed the door to the lab with a sigh, evil scientists always got on his nerves. Never stopping in their mad monologues and ramblings, as if to show their work of how they got to their weird ideas. He really didn't mind as long as the results gave him what he wanted, but he also cared for the simple approach. Which was his plan as he filed away his thoughts regarding what he noticed of Roll, and focused on the mental image of Kaito, Zenkaiser, the leader and strength of the Zenkaigers. His power was meant to crush him? Then very well, Zenkaiser would be the first step in reaching his own ambitions: to crush someone else he hated far more than anything.
"Yosha! Today, I bring you…" Kaito spoke before pulling out a bag of snacks to the Kikai Takoyaki vendor, "...karintos!"
"Oh~" the Kikainoid awed as he took the bag, "What could this taste like?"
"Eh…It's this easy?" Tangle blinked, "You guys just trade snacks?"
"It's like a form of sharing culture!" Kaito smiled, "I share the many human world snacks we have, and I get to enjoy Kikaitopia cooking!" he mused as he accepted an order of takoyaki, "I already know what Mobian cooking is like. I used to eat every other meal with Aunty and the others, so now I have Kikaitopia cooking to experience."
"Oh~" Tangle awed a bit at that, taking one before taking a bite out of it, "?! Mmmm….so good~!" she quietly squealed as her tail was wiggling excitedly.
"Right?" Kaito smiled, "This is the best part of so many different folks living together as one world now! Kami knows the new forms of love would make Aunty and her family happy."
"Yeah. Mrs. S would go ga-ga over the stuff. Especially those romance movies," Tangle nodded.
"It's a whole new world," Kaito smiled, "Seeing Humans, Kikainoids, and Mobians all getting along as friends…that makes me really happy. I always wanted a world where I could run around with Roll-chan and everyone and it to not be weird. Aunty would always keep a strict eye on me so I didn't freak people out, and Touchan and Kaachan didn't want them to stray too far from our place in case something bad happened. But now everyone lives together, kids run around happily, and people make new friends and even families."
"Hehehe…Kai, when you talk like that you sound like an actual superhero," Tangle teased.
"Well I am a superhero!" Kaito chuckled in response. He then blinked as he saw Stacy, though not that he knew his name, so to him it was just the odd mystery fellow he met that one time. "Ah! It's you!" he called out, walking over to Stacy as he ate Takoyaki.
"Hmm…oh?" he mused as he stared at Kaito, "We meet again." he calmly nodded, "The loud boy…"
"That's kind of mean, I'm Goshikida Kaito! What's your name?"
"Not something I give out to random people." Stacy replied with a sigh.
"Eh….Wait, are you famous!?" Kaito gasped.
"No…" Stacy sighed, "I just have a shred of common sense," he rolled his eyes.
"Well then let me guess what it is you do, 'cause you got like this edgy musician energy to you! I know you're in a band…no…Idol…no wait…Magician!" Kaito cheered.
"What does that last one even have to do with music?" Stacy sighed, "You just ran out of guesses, didn't you?" he asked as Kaito nodded, "Hah…in that case why not start with you, what's your job?"
"...Hmm…" he smiled standing up, "I'm a part timer! And a dream chaser!" Kaito declared proudly, "But right now I protect the world as Zen-~"
"As usual you talk nonsense…" Stacy spoke as he was already walking away.
"Huh? Who's this guy, Kaito?" Tangle asked.
"I honestly don't know," Kaito admitted, "This is the second time I've met him however…"
"Really?"
"Remember when everything got covered in garbage?"
"Oh, that time," Tangle recalled, "Jewel kept screaming and fainting at all the trash that kept appearing in the museum while she was trying to get things ready with it."
"Mmm…" he nodded, "That was the first time I spotted him. I met him another time after that, too." he explained, "I can't explain it…but…" he looked at Stacy, "I just get this weird feeling he and I are alike in some way."
"Whoa~" Tangle awed.
"A fateful encounter or something like that." Kaito smiled, "I'm sure I'll get around his sour puss demeanor eventually, we're not meant to be friends yet is all!"
"I like the way you think!" Tangle smiled happily in agreement, "Hmm…I hope everything is okay back at the shop. Today is when Roll and Amy go shopping and Yatchan's day off."
"I think Clove-san and Whisper are helping them out with that," Kaito recalled, "..eh I'm sure they have things under control."
"Thank you…please come again," Whisper said as she handed the customer some candy.
"Arigato." a woman smiled, taking her daughter by the hand as they left.
"Bye-bye!" the little girl smiled at Whisper.
"Oh…Bye-bye…" Whisper waved back.
"So far she's doing good interacting with the customers," Amy whispered to Roll as they were busy restocking some of the candy.
"Adding that speaker to the strap on her uniform was a good idea of Ayane-chan's," Roll quietly agreed.
"It helps her talk to people." Amy nodded.
Nearby, Juran and Clove gathered the dishes from a customer that had eaten in the small cafe part of the building (non-caffeinated of course). The pronghorn easily balanced the dishes she collected and left for the kitchen. Juran reached for a cup only to slip and knock it over, spilling the drink in it.
"Ah not again!" Juran yelped before turning to the counter where Gaon was behind, cleaning a plate, "Oi! I need a rag over here, Gaon!" he waited with his hand out for a good moment before turning and seeing Gaon happily wiping a dish, "Oi…I know you heard me…"
"Sorry~ I'm very busy at the moment." Gaon replied.
"Oh you…!"
"I got it," Clove spoke as she walked out of the kitchen, a rag in hand as she knelt down and began to clean it up, "Had a feeling something like this would happen…I swear it's spaghetti taco tuesday at the Northamer base again…"
"Hmm?"
"Sis would often treat the Legionnaires working under us after a long day, so we had special meal days planned," Cassia explained as she was on her phone, "She ran a stern ship, but she made sure everyone would feel at ease and healthy."
"Ahem," Clove cleared her throat, "Homework, Cassia?"
"Mmm…" Cassia pouted as she looked back down at the book before her, "Why do I even need this? Kaito looks like he handles adult life just fine and he clearly doesn't know all this stuff…"
"Ah but little lady, Kaito is just built differently…he can handle all life throws at him 'cause I'm sure he can be buried under a building and somehow dig himself out…" Juran muttered, "Frankly, the more insane things he does, the more it concerns me. He might just be scary if he was smarter…" he then pointed at Gaon, "And what's your attitude lately, huh?"
"Ah, this is the best part when Yatchan and Kaito aren't around," Su-san chuckled at another table Magine was serving his usual at.
"Ah! G-Gomen nassai!" Magine apologized, bowing and ending up bumping Vroon as he was walking behind her, managing to knock him over as he was carrying a box of candy to restock with, sending it flying into the air as he fell over.
"Ah!" Vroon yelped before the box opened in the air and dropped the candy on him, "Ame da! Ame da!"
"Nununu? But it's so sunny," Magine noted, looking out the windows, "..." she pulled out her crystal ball, "I may need to do a weather fortune. Now you've got me worried, Vroon-san."
"Wrong one, Magine!" Amy yelped as she ran over and helped Vroon up.
'And I thought Thunderbolt had the problem troops,' Clove thought, a drop of sweat going down the back of her head.
"Ah this is normal," Amy sighed, knowing that look, "Typically Kaito absorbs most of the chaotic energy and keeps Gaon and Juran from fighting. But most folks actually enjoy watching it happen."
"Exactly, it's got a charm of imperfection," Su-san smiled, "Like a big happy family. In these times seeing so many folks get along in one place is nice."
"Charm of Imperfection?" Clove and Whisper repeated, looking at one another.
"Ara, I guess such well put together girls like you probably don't grasp what I mean. But when you see enough of the world, it's when things are imperfect and different that they are also at their most charming." Su-san chuckled, "Something along the lines of what kids say: 'normal is boring!'" he laughed.
"I'm quite relieved I'm not as much of a fool as these four are," Gaon chuckled, gesturing to the Kikainoids and Secchan.
"Oi, oi, oi!" Juran snapped.
=How rude, tune! So very rude!=
"But it's true, I am the one who does the most important work out of the mechanical life forms calling this wonderful place home," Gaon stated, "I am clearly Kaito-kun's Second in command and Right hand! The single most reliable Kikainoid here!"
"Oi oi, I can't let that one stand! In any case, I was a member first so that means I have seniority!" Juran declared.
=And I have been with Kaito for far longer, tune!= Secchan added before a sharp whistle went off at the stairs, making everyone pause and turn to see an annoyed Yatsude standing there.
"Arguing again?!" Yatsude demanded, whipping her frying pan out, "How can I go over the costs and profits peacefully if I can hear you from upstairs?!"
=Ah! No please! Mercy, tune! Hit Skye-hakase when he comes in instead!= Secchan panicked.
"Gomen! Gomen nassai!" Juran quickly apologized.
"I am so sorry for how noisy these two are being, Yacchan," Gaon apologized.
"You were loud, too!= Juran and Secchan snapped.
"Nonsense," Gaon waved them off, "I was merely stating facts, I am just that good."
"Next argument and everyone involved is getting punished!" Yatsude declared.
Su-san chuckled, "Ah, such a lively home. Ah well, my meal is done and I need to head on out. Thanks for the delicious meal and entertainment."
"Haseo-chan, are you playing games again?" Yatsude asked, looking around.
"He's over at the Prowers," Juran reminded, "He and Tails are tied in that racing game of theirs and neither wants to admit defeat."
=Considering the prizes Miyuki-san and Roll-chan set up together for whoever wins, I'm not surprised those two are stubborn, tune= Secchan muttered.
"Oh! Allow me to help you, Su-san!" Gaon called out happily as he ran over.
"Oi, oi! Your break isn't at this time!" Juran called.
"Off we go~!" Gaon cheered as he ran out, carrying a laughing Su-san on his back while also carrying the elder's bags.
"...This is coming out of his paycheck, right?" Juran asked, looking to Yatsude.
=That guy annoys me so much, tune= Secchan groaned as the Mobians shared looks.
"Gaon is rather difficult to get along with, at least for us," Magine sighed, "He likes only soft and huggable lifeforms. So of course his weird hatred of his own kind makes making friends with someone like that hard…"
"Well I suppose I can understand why he hates our kind so much…Life in Kikaitopia is horrible after all, so the softness and warmth of Humans and Mobians is a welcome change," Vroon added, "Even still constantly being talked down to by our own team member does get to be difficult to handle…"
"...Oi, you three," Yatsude spoke, "You can head on for an early break. Go take a walk."
"Eh, are you sure?" Magine asked.
"Of course," Yatsude assured, "We're going into the slow part of the day, so missing a few workers won't be too detrimental to business."
"Well if it's okay with you…" Vroon nodded.
"Ah…some fresh air would be nice…that little jerk ruined the mood anyway…" Juran grumbled.
=Ah!= Secchan yelped, his eyes flickering =May need to belay that break, tune! Tojitendo and EggPawns have appeared!=
"Hah…from one job to another, the grind never ends…" Juran sighed.
"You could imagine them all having Gaon's face?" Roll suggested as Whisper removed her apron and hung it up carefully.
"Yosh! Let's go, baby!" Juran cheered, running out.
"Was that needed?" Magine asked, a drop of oil going down the back of her head.
"I do it as well, but with Mimic's face," Whisper softly admitted as she followed after Juran.
"I'll call Kaito-kun," Vroon volunteered.
"I am so glad Sonikku's taken to keeping a phone in his quills," Roll muttered as she tapped on her phone.
"Aw, seriously?" Sonic asked, standing outside the living room, "Lousy Egghead and those Tojitendo guys. They're on the final lap, too. …No, pretty much tied again if Tails wins this race. …Yeah, those prizes are really tempting to both. On my way." he poked his head back in, "Tails, Haseo, I'm off to fight bad guys!"
"Uhn!" both twin-tailed foxes let out a squeaky grunt, focused on their racing game.
"...Right. I'm off!" Sonic waved before running off.
"Alright! Victory!" Tails cheered, 'Gotta beat him and those model kits are mine!'
"And tied again…" Haseo pouted before both gave determined looks at once another, 'A kiss from Nicole-san…I won't lose it!'
"That prize is mine!" both declared as they quickly looked over the 2-player competitive games, not noticing Sonic sitting back down on the couch.
"Eh? Now?" Kaito asked as he answered his phone.
"Whoo! Action time!" Tangle cheered.
With that, the two ran off down the street. As they did they noticed Stacy walking in front of them. Stacy blinked noticing them…and began picking up pace as if to avoid them. As it would happen the two got up beside him, making Stacy develop an annoyed expression as he kept speeding up.
"Why are you following me?" Stacy groaned.
"We're not. We're just going this way," Kaito explained.
"That's much too convenient…" Stacy groaned as he and Kaito kept walking faster and faster.
The two just kept walking, before jogging…then sprinting as they took down the road at amazing, almost inhuman speed. The two bumped shoulders as they turned with the bend of the street, before turning to one another as they picked up pace even more.
"Wah…they just keep going…" Tangle gawked, "Now they're free running over houses…" she blinked, "Uhm…" she pulled out a phone, "Guys…gonna need a minute…Kaito found someone who can keep up and now it's two handsome boys trying to out-macho one another…they just keep running and running…Wow, they are good." she blushed as someone spoke on the line, "R-Roll…Ya know I'm, er…ya know…" more speaking, "Alright, alright. I'm gonna catch up to them since it looks like they're heading your way. Just…just try and not start the fight without me!"
"I can promise only…" Roll began before swerving out of the way of an EggPawn's lance, quickly getting behind it as she kicked it away, "...to try!"
"Come on, ya stupid lion!" Zenkai Juran roared, bashing a Kudakk repeatedly in the face with his shield before spinning around and slashing another, "Stop calling me old, you mangy feline!"
"Ah…M-Maybe we should ask Kaito-kun or Roll-chan to make Gaon argue with Juran a little less?" Zenkai Vroon whispered to Zenkai Magine.
"Intervention…those always help…" Zenkai Magine sighed, bonking a Kudakk with her Magine Stick before swinging it and sending out multiple ember-like motes of fire that struck multiple Kudakk's and EggPawn's before igniting and melting them.
"Focus…" Whisper spoke, using her Geartlasher to block a EggPawn's lance before she fired a few cyan laser shots at a few Kudakks with her Whispon.
"We are down so many members…it's quite complicated…" Zenkai Vroon spoke, holding back several grunts, "We have yet to even see an enemy commander or combatant either…how odd…it's like someone transported a random patrol unit here…"
"Don't see any sign of Eggman or his Grandmasters either," Zenkai Juran added, punting a Kudakk before slashing another, "What gives? Normally that fat egomaniac would be monologuing about 'how he's gonna beat us' and all that."
"True…it's kinda nice not having to deal with that for once," Zenkai Magine noted.
"Maybe he just gave up!" Zenkai Gaon declared as he drop kicked a Kudakk into a group of others.
"No…he never does," Whisper argued.
"...WHEN DID YOU SHOW UP?!" Zenkai Juran exclaimed.
"Hmph. Your eyesight's getting old, ya fossil," Zenkai Gaon huffed before thumbing over at Zenkai Cobalt as he was slashing an EggPawn down, "I got picked up."
"Oh Sonic, thank you for that," Zenkai Vroon sighed, "Your help is most appreciated in these sudden deployments."
"Eh. I try," Sonic's voice replied as a blue blur zipped by, crashing through a few Kudakks and EggPawns as Zenkai Cobalt skid to a halt, "...huh. No sign of Baldy McNosehair…."
"Yeah, something is fishy…" Zenkai Juran noted, "And it's not just Gaon's grease stained jacket…"
"AH!?" Zenkai Gaon gasped at that, "How dare you, sir!"
"Hmmm…You hear that?" Zenkai Juran replied, "It sounded like a stuck up kid who will never get the cuddles of the neighborhood kitty…"
"Why you…!" Zenkai Gaon growled, stomping over before a flying Tangle ended up crashing headfirst into his with a loud clang, "?!"
"GH!? Sorry…!" Tangle grunted as she flew, only to crash into a light post as she slid down it, "...I'm okay…" she groaned as her tail gave a thumbs up.
"Adorable flying friend…" Zenkai Gaon groaned.
"That was quick," Roll noted, zipping over to Tangle as she helped her up, "Where's Kaito?"
"Beats me…I lost track of him a few blocks back," Tangle grunted as she shook off the dizziness, "I tried to sling myself up to see if I could see him…but…"
"You forgot to take account for wind pressure again?" Roll guessed.
"Yep…" she sheepishly replied, rubbing the back of her head.
"UWA/GRRRR!" two voices shouted as Kaito and Stacy flipped over them and began bouncing off Kudakk and EggPawn heads before jumping to another building entirely.
"...What was that?" Zenkai Vroon asked.
"I think that was Kaito-kun and the person you two met, Tangle-chan," Roll noted, blinking a few times.
"Instant rivalry! They won't stop, they won't listen…and before I lost them they raced around town with two grannies on their backs and helped them finish their daily chores!" Tangle gasped out in one breath.
"Oh I totally get it!" ZenkaiCobalt laughed at that, "Like so much understanding, and totally support it! Go Kaito!"
"Don't instigate!" the girls all complained.
"I landed first! What? No, it was me! Me!" the two shouted while butting heads, one smiling and the other frowning.
"...Did we find his twin?" Zenkai Juran whispered as they took out the distracted robots.
"Please don't ask that. One revelation about one of us having a twin is enough for one day," Zenkai Magine groaned.
"Gomen nassai?" Roll tilted her head.
"Hey, Kaito!" Zenkai Cobalt called, earning their attention, "You're late to the party! We already beat them up!"
"Nice job!" Kaito cheered, giving the team a thumbs up before pulling the Gearltinger out, "Looks like you guys beat 'em all up before I could get here!"
"Hai!" Roll beamed, hefting her Geartlasher on her shoulder with a smile.
"I see. So you're also a Zenkaiger," Stacy spoke up.
"Yep!" Kaito beamed.
"Naruhodou…" Stacy spoke…before holding up a purple version of the Geartlinger with a curved blade-like 'feather' on the top of the 'head' of the gun.
"Eh?!" Kaito gasped.
"Masaka…!" Roll gawked.
"Yaya?!" Zenkai Vroon exclaimed.
"Is that a Geartlinger?" Zenkai Magine pondered.
"...Did Ayane make that?" Cobalt asked, looking at Roll.
"Iie, iie. She doesn't copy, she makes her own version of it. It's why we use swords and not guns," Roll pointed out.
"Ah! Do you know my parents?" Kaito pondered, looking at Stacy as he pulled out a purple Sentai Gear.
"Your parents?" Stacy questioned as he loaded the gear into his gun and began to crank it, "...Nope. Not a clue."
=I̧CH̵́I̧҉͜~̨́͏B̷̢A҉̶̕Ņ!̡͟͠=
He turned his body around and fired off at the other Zenkaigers before the gear framed before them, spinning around for a moment before a flash of purple mist formed into five physical beings. The five legendary members of the Gorengers. They all moved silently and struck their team pose without ever saying a word.
=̴̨͠GO̧͠~̵R͏҉RR̡RA̴̡͞N̶̢͏G̴͘͞Ȩ̵̛R̴͘!̷̛≠͏̷
"Ah! He…He just summoned a whole Sentai!" Roll gasped as Whisper tensed, moving a bit behind Tangle.
=Not just any Sentai either! It's Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, tune! The team Zenkaiser was based on!= Secchan exclaimed.
"Oh…" ZenkaiJuran nodded as he walked up to AkaRanger, "That's why this Paisem looks like Kaito!" he chuckled…before AkaRanger punched him, "Gah!"
"Juran!" the others gasped.
"Destroy them," Stacy ordered as the Gorengers all rushed them.
"Ah! Hey, you jerk! What's this about?!" Tangle demanded.
"This as well," Stacy noted, ignoring her as he put in another purple Sentai Gear into his gun and fired it, "Deal with their Mobian teammates."
=̧́GEKI̧͢͝~͘RR̵͏͝R͏AN̷G̡͝E͜R!̷͟͠=
"Ah! Oh, this is so not nikiniki!" Tangle gawked as the GekiRangers formed.
"Change Zenkai!" Roll ordered, barely managing to change and blocked GekiYellow's punch with the flat of her blade, "Gh!"
"All of the power...but none of the morality…" Stacy spoke, "Perfect weapons."
"Oi! What are you on about!?" ZenkaiJuran asked as he used his shield to block AkaRanger's staff, "You're making them fight us!?"
"If that's the only way you can understand it, then sure, why not," Stacy replied, "You don't need to understand how my ability works; you just need to die by it."
"Are you some sorta magician?!" Kaito demanded.
"So you want magic?" Stacy nodded as he pulled out another gear, "Have fun with these then."
=M̨͢͡AGI~̕͞͡RR͏͞RÀ̶̛N͢G̕È͘R̕͜͏!͞҉≠̧͠
At that, the Magirangers formed before MagiRed pulled out his sword and rushed at Kaito, who ducked away before pulling out his Geartlinger.
"Change Zenkai!" he shouted, rolling through the gear projection and turning into Zenkaiser. He raised his Geartlinger and blocked MagiRed's sword…only for MagiGreen to grab him from behind and toss him down to the ground, "Gah!" he cried before Pink and Blue unleashed a combination of wind and water as a cyclone to blast him along the ground. He grunted as MagiYellow forced him up and began unleashing a barrage of boxing punches to his torso and head before a final one knocked him down again, "So…so strong…"
"Kaito!" Cobalt exclaimed before grunting as he parried the overhead chop of GekiChopper with the flat of his sword, cratering the part of the roof he was on, "Gah! F-Feels like one of Knuckles's punches is behind this…"
"They are so skilled!" ZenkaiVroon yelped as KiRanger picked him up into the air with little effort, "And strong! So strong!"
"Ha!" ZenkaiMAgine grunted, swinging at MomoRanger who ducked around each swing, "Why are they fighting us…they're Super Sentai too, right?" she yelped as she looked down at multiple heart shaped items before they began exploding.
"I don't get it! Why aren't they talking?" ZenkaiTopaz asked as GekiRed swung his nunchucks around making her back away, "They don't act like the people I saw in those videos!"
"Maybe…they…aren't real?" ZenkaiOnyx grunted, avoiding swing after swing from GekiViolet, "Just…copies!?" she yelped as an elbow strike hit her and sent her falling across the ground.
"So…are they people…or aren't they?" ZenkaiGaon grunted as AoRanger and MidoRanger clanked him before he was pelted by arrows and metal slugs from both sides, "Which one!?" he swung his claws at MidoRanger only to stop short of his helmet, he then grunted when AoRanger kicked his side and sent him falling to the ground.
"I…I don't know…" ZenkaiJuran grunted as AkaRanger twisted his staff around, "But they hit so hard…We can't hold back on them!"
"They have so much skill…just like the real people!" Zenkai Kurenai grunted as GekiBlue and Yellow pressed an advance on her, forcing her on the defensive as she blocked all the swings of their bo and tonfa.
"What are you!?" Zenkaiser asked as he blocked MagiRed's sword, "Why are you fighting us!?"
"It's no good, there's nothing in there." Stacy spoke, "If you don't fight back you and your team will die." MagiGreen and Yellow punched Zenkaiser in the abdomen, making him gasp for air as he stumbled back, "Or…do…it's more or less my whole reason for doing this, but…I also want to see how strong you really are before I give an actual effort."
At that, MagiGreen, Yellow, Blue, and Pink crossed their MagiSticks and formed them into a cross in the air as it began spinning, Green, Blue and Pink ducked away as Yellow held the spinning magic wands in the air before tossing them at Zenkaiser as the attack struck him…before a bright cross of light formed and held him in place. Zenkaiser grunted trying to get free only to gasp as MagiRed jumped into the air and swung down his sword encased in crimson fire as he swung down and slashed him, causing sparks and embers to fly the slash in his armor before an explosion sent the Zenkaiger leader flying back across the ground.
"Kaito!" the others called out.
"Enough of this. Gorenger Hurricane Capture Net!" Stacy ordered as the Gorengers all nodded and jumped away from who they were fighting.
MomoRanger produced a multi-colored rugby ball, before tossing it into the air to KiRanger who headbutted it away, to MidoRanger who juggled it around before kicking it to AoRanger who captured it before stamping it to the ground as AkaRanger ran up and kicked it sending it flying at the Zenkaigers minus Zenkaiser before it suddenly blinked into a massive net that trapped all under it just as the GekiRangers jumped away. The Zenkaigers all grunted trying to escape…but the net seemed uncuttable as the Geatlasher blades, nor the Juran Sword or Gaon Claws just couldn't cut, nor could they be broken by ZenkaiVroon's strength.
"GekiBazooka!" Stacy ordered.
The three main Gekirangers summoned the Bazooka and began charging it with energy. GekiViolet and GekiChopper stood to either side as they began to charge their own attacks as well. Purple energy formed around violet's fist as it turned into violet flames, while a massive horn of energy formed on GekiChopper's SaiBlade. As the GekiBazooka fired its massive ball of energy, the other two fired their attacks as they swirl into the ball of Geki energy as it began spinning like a powerful rifle round with the faintest visage of the yin-yang symbol inside of it. The Zenkaigers all gasped at that but just as the blast was about to hit a white blur jumped before them and took the blast meant for all of them. The smoke soon cleared to show Zenkaiser, his armor damaged drastically as he struggled to stay on his feet.
"Nanto…you still had the ability to get up and shield them?" Stacy blinked, "Foolishness…you could have attacked me with that same reaction time…" he aimed his gun at Zenkaiser who still stood his ground, "What kind of monster can just take an attack like that without…maska…has he already passed out?"
"Kaito-nii!" Kurenai gasped.
"We gotta get outta here," Zenkai Juran noted.
"Evac ready," Onyx spoke as she pulled out a Sentai Gear and put it into her Geartlasher.
=JU-HACHI ZAN~! KAKU~RANGER!=
The transparent images of the Kakurangers appeared before zipping into Zenkai Juran, Magine, Gaon, Vroon, and Topaz. The five plus Kurenai pulled out smoke bombs and threw them at the ground, engulfing their side of the roof in smoke. MagiPink swung her staff out and released a blast of wind that cleared them smoke, revealing the team to be gone.
"Running away…" Stacy shook his head. He then sighed and looked at his weapon, "Though this isn't altogether a bad result…just woefully unfulfilling. That Zenkaiser though…if he could still move like that…why didn't he take me out? What goes through the head of a freak like that?" he waved his gun and popped the gear out, making all the Rangers he summoned vanish in puffs of black and purple smoke. "Starline, I'm returning to base. Please examine the data of this sortie and begin preparations for the full test run of the Geartozinger." he spoke as a portal formed for him, "And tell the Doctors I shall be prepping for next time. I'm sure they will enjoy the news of this test run." he walked in as the portal closed behind him.
"Oh~hohohohoho~!" Eggman laughed, he and Ijirude going in circles with an arm linked to the other scientist's arm.
"It worked~! It worked~!" Ijirude cheered.
"See that? He didn't even need to use the primary function of the Geartozinger even!" Eggman laughed, "One sortie with one half of the device's power and he sent them running for the hills!"
"Truly our Geartozinger is the greatest military invention ever~" Ijirude laughed happily.
"One successful battle does not win the war." Barashitara complained, "No one has ever succeeded in fighting them off the second time."
"Oh listen, Eggman, he's so upset! He never beat them this badly, so now he's making excuses~" Ijirude cackled.
"He's so jealous that we've gotten farther in dealing with those buffoons than he has is all!" Eggman taunted.
"I swear I'm going to make scrambled eggs with a glass of oil from you two!" Barashita growled, "What even was that?!"
"The Geartozinger and Dark Gears," Ijirude replied, "Unlike the Zenkaigers who use the powers, the Geartozinger will summon facsimiles that can use those powers at the user's commands!"
"All that power and complete and total obedience to their summoner," Eggman chuckled, "A literal army at your command with a few turns of a handle."
"It's not even the full extent of its power either!" Ijirude laughed, "Likewise we can't let the commander of said army be defenseless! Thankfully Barashitara…you passed on some very sturdy and strong genes to Stacy. Past test samples came back…rather scrambled. So in a way…thank you…for your endless desire has given us a perfect soldier~! And best of all…he is totally in our camp against…you~"
"I had a feeling your inability to keep it in your iron pants would come to haunt you," Lien-Da sighed, listening to all this calmly.
"Bah…Stacy is just one of many," Barashitara replied, "Not the first nor will he be the last to hate Papa for his life of debauchery."
"Wow…you just…do not care huh…" Eggman muttered, "Just wow…"
"I know right…" Ijirude muttered.
"Speaking of which, where is he?" Barashitara asked, "You'd think he'd be here to gloat about his victory with you?"
"Preparing to go after them again," Eggman mused, "Hehehe…that kid is so dedicated, I have to admit his sheer dedication to the mission is so…refreshing for a change." several of his former commanders looked at him at that, "I mean all he cares about is finishing things. I don't have to threaten or ask. He asks how soon he can get back out there and kick butt, no complaints and no ulterior motives. He's like a killing machine…well one who already understands sentient thought…"
"He's so dedicated! I'd be so proud if he were my kid!" Ijirude declared in amusement.
"..." Barashita growled in annoyance as Lien-Da just raised a brow.
"Ah! Iteiteiteite!" Kaito hissed.
"Mou~! Stop moving away," Roll scolded, wearing a nurse's hat, as she dabbed a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol on it on his injuries.
"It stings…" Kaito groaned, "It's just a natural reaction…Ite!" he yelped at another dab, "I promise to try, okay~"
"Only Kaito can take a finisher cannon to the face and just be knocked out…" Skye sighed.
"I tasted pain…" Kaito joked.
"I hate summoner enemies," Cassia groaned, "Just when you think you've got them beat…they summon a monster to wipe out the last of your health!"
"And yet you don't have that problem with your Musou games," Clove pointed out, currently tending to the Mobians' wounds.
"Hey. Those are completely different, sis…It's the JRPG ones that get you!" Cassia argued.
"Kaito…your new friend sucks!" Sonic complained as Roll tied some bandages on his right arm.
"I'm just glad all of you came home," Yatsude noted in relief.
"Yeah, but that Stacy guy cheated!" Tangle complained, her tail currently in a sling as Skye passed by, "Seriously that jerk summoned those other Sentai like that…"
"?!" Skye tensed as he skidded to a halt.
"...What did you say?" Ayane asked as she poked out from a trap door in the floor.
"Uh…that he could summon those other Sentai?"
"...How?" both father and daughter asked in unison…and in a very serious tone.
"I don't know…" Tangle muttered.
"He used a purple version of the Geartlinger," Whisper spoke up as best she could, Blue hovering by her in a tiny nurse's hat, "He would do the same as us, but instead he summoned clones…but…they didn't feel alive, they couldn't speak or anything…they just fought as he ordered. Like drones."
"But they all fight just like we saw in the videos," Tangle added, "The same fighting styles, powers, weapons, even finishers!" she shuddered, "Seeing GekiRed not talking was freaky…! Like he was a zowazowa…"
"..." Ayane and Skye traded looks before huddling.
"Daddy…" Ayane whispered, "Do you think…?"
"Maybe, but we'd need to get a look at what he uses to be sure," Skye replied.
"Hey, you two have something?" Amy asked while fanning a dazed Magine.
"It could be he's using modified Tojiru Gears of the worlds the Sentai come from or these are artificial ones like our Sentai Gears," Skye hypothesized, "Either way, best be careful around this summoning guy."
"Ah…Speaking of…" Juran spoke up…before grabbing Gaon by his jacket, "What the hell was that for?! You had several chances to smack that guy and get the gun!"
"What?" Gaon pondered.
"Furthermore, all you did was block, block, and block some more! Not once did you try and strike those guys!" Juran continued on, "Do you really not care about us as long as you're protecting humans and Mobians?!"
"..." Gaon said nothing as Juran just shook him some more.
"Aren't we on the same side here?!" Juran demanded.
"Tsk…" Gaon slapped his hands away, his head turning to Vroon and Magine for a moment "You're just Kikainoids…" he stated as he walked away, choosing not to say another word.
"Gaon!" Kaito spoke up as he got up, grabbing his jacket as he ran after him.
"Ah! Kaito!" Roll and Sonic panicked, chasing after the one who was the most hurt from that encounter.
"Even taking that big blast…he just got back up…" Amy awed, "He's crazy tough for just a normal human…"
"Normal…doesn't begin to describe Kaito in the least…" most muttered.
"Gh…That jerk…" Juran growled.
Yatsude shook her head, "Honestly, I think that Gaon actually does trust you guys."
"Huh?" Juran looked at the approaching elderly woman before she smacked his chest, "Ah!"
"Since you're his fellow Kikainoids!" she declared loudly, smacking his metal chest and filling the air with its loud rings.
Cyan spoke up, offering Yatsude her frying pan.
"Eh, he's not at that level of stupidity yet," Yatsude replied, patting Cyan's head, "But you are sweet for helping me so much; but I think he's got the point, Cy-chan."
"Mmm?" Juran smacked his chest as the loud clang of metal filled the air again.
That was right, Kikainoids were made of powerful metallic skin. Even with how Kaito acted with them or how different they all were…that didn't change the fact that all Kikainoids were born as living metallic beings. Compared to Mobians or Humans for that matter, they could withstand so much more, he forgot that. Heck, Kaito was often the one getting more hurt then them…but with how often he shrugged it off, he'd forgotten that.
Gaon sighed as he sat on a park bench which gave a good view of the city. He looked down, unsure how to feel about what happened. If he had to put it in words, he almost felt bad for how he left things.
"Let me say this…" Kaito's voice made Gaon look up, seeing Kaito approach with Sonic and Roll, "Thank you for always being there to cover for me in a fight, and all of us."
"You've always been good at protecting us, Gaon-san," Roll added.
"Heh. You guys are human and Mobians," Gaon replied, "You're…" he banged his chest twice with a fist, "...not as tough as us."
"True, not all of us are as tough as a Kikainoid's body," Sonic noted, "Heck, even with my Billionth ring adding a layer of protection on me, I still get hurt."
"Ah! You said 'we!'" Kaito beamed as he moved over to crawl onto the bench and getting close to Gaon, "You really do see Juran and the other Kikainoids in our team as nakama!"
"Well…I guess sorta…" Gaon muttered, "They are human and Mobian protecting nakama." he nodded.
"But that also includes Stacy and the Gorengers?" Kaito asked, "You're not sure what to do if they're humans."
"Whisper-chan said something about clones or drones…but…what if they are people under there…?" Gaon asked before sighing, "It's pathetic, isn't it?" he looked out at the city, "Up 'till now…I've always resented the Tojitendo and the Kikainoids who let themselves be ruled by them…even myself."
"Eh? You…hate yourself?" Roll asked in concern.
"Because you're a Kikainoid?" Sonic guessed.
"In Kikaitopia, you either are the one stepping on others or the one being stepped on. It's cold…it's cruel…that's why I hate it," Gaon explained, slumping in his seat, "No one is kind or warm…Not like here, with all the soft and warm creatures who are willing to even accept things like us as friends." he paused, "That's why fighting was easy. I can fight the Tojitendo trash and Kikainoids 'cause they remind me of that world I hate so much…They remind me of the me I don't like. But now…"
"That's nothing to be sad about," Kaito spoke, "Not knowing what to do is something I understand." he smiled as Gaon looked at him, "To be honest, I'm not sure what to do about Stacy either."
"Kaito?" Gaon gawked, "You're not?"
"When I think he might be human…just a bit." Kaito admitted.
"Ya know, Juran and the others are pretty awesome," Sonic noted with a grin, rubbing the underside of his nose, "They're willing and able to fight off anyone that threatens the peace we've got here."
"Ah. They're not troubled like me and Gaon are," Kaito admitted before smiling at Gaon, "Ne?"
"...Right!" Gaon nodded.
=GAO~R͡͝Ŕ̷̡R̷̢̀AŃ̵̛GER! ͜KA̶̛̛K̛͜Ų̢~̡̧͢R͠R̕҉RR̶̷̕ANG̨Ę̀͢R!҉̸ G̡̧O~̴͜͡OOOONG̸ER!̸͜҉=
"?!" The four tensed and got up from the bench to spot the forming Sentai teams as the Gorengers stood beside them.
"Oh fudged up cookie kangaroos," Roll squeaked, her eyes wide as her ears drooped.
"Those are…" Kaito began.
"Goranger, Kakuranger, Gaoranger, and Go-Onger!" Gaon gasped.
"Oh no fair using the teams we're based on," Sonic frowned.
"Fair is paramount in combat," Stacy spoke, making them look to see him standing on top of a small building nearby, "In the heat of battle, any tactic is considered fair," he looked down, "But regardless…we have a battle to continue." he looked at Kaito, "Let us commence your final battle, Zenkaiser." at that all the Ranger's pulled out their weapons and aimed them forward.
"Daijobu, Gaon," Kaito spoke up, "You can defeat them."
"Huh?"
"They have to be fake, no real Super Sentai would ever work with anyone from the Tojitendo. Afterall we Zenkaigers are modeled after them! My Tou-chan and Kaa-chan would never use heroes who would work with losers like the Tojitendo!" Kaito declared motioning to the Zenkaiger logo on his vest, "So that means don't hold back these are just copies! You can go as wild as you want, besides I need you to cover me while I go and confront him. I'm gonna find out what his problem is."
"So…you have a plan for dealing with him?" Gaon asked as they leaned in.
"A plan…" Kaito began, "Nope, not at all." he waved his hand, making them all flinch and fall over.
"...You are a complete and utter idiot," Stacy deadpanned.
"Yeah, well…I'm the idiot who's been kicking Tojitendo butt longer than anyone else!" Kaito declared with a smile.
"Heh…well…I suppose I can give you that victory." Stacy admitted with a chuckle.
"Kaito, go on ahead, leave these fakers to us!" Gaon declared.
"We'll do our best," Roll assured as the trio pulled out their weapons and Sentai Gears.
"You've got this, buddy," Sonic gave a thumbs up, "Been wanting to see if some new stuff Roll and I have been practicing with will be good for fighting the Tojitendo. What better way than on some fakers?"
"Bold words coming from you, hedgehog," Stacy countered, "Attack." he ordered as the Cloned Rangers rushed them.
"Change Zenkai!" the trio shouted, rushing forward and changing forms.
Zenkai Gaon roared, swinging his claw around and knocking away several of the Gaorangers. He grunted as he rushed and shoulder checked several of the Gorengers out of Kaito's path as he slipped past them. He then grunted as he spun around and swung his claw to strike several Gaorangers again.
"You're fighting me!" he growled as he spread his arms to stop GaoBlack and KiRanger who began pushing with super strength, "I won't let you stop Kaito!"
"Hey hey~" Zenkai Cobalt taunted, blocking swings from the Go-Ongers, "It's not often Kaito gives complex orders, but this much is easy~ So come and get a taste of a real deal!" he flipped around, making several of their swings knock into each other; as he landed, he swung his sword up and knocked all their up and away. He spun around before swinging his leg out to kick Go-On Red, sending him stumbling back; continuing with his spin, he swung and slashed the other four making them back away.
"Now that we know…that you are fake…!" Zenkai Kurenai grunted as she ducked around multiple swings, "We don't have to worry that we are fighting people! We can fight back for real now!" she grunted, swinging her sword to stop NinjaBlack and White's swords, "Which means we can react and swing for real!" she pushed them back before ducking back and swinging her sword to slash the other three who were trying to sneak up on her; she twisted her body around to deflect the sword of the two before her, using the momentum to swing around and kick them both across their helmets.
Stacy smirked as they continued to fight. He then looked ahead as the rest of the Zenkaigers arrived. They all paused, seeing the chaos of their friends being overwhelmed by the multiple Ranger Clones.
"Oi, oi…what happened!?" Juran gawked.
"We missed so much!?" Magine gawked.
"What took you guys so long?" Zenkai Gaon grunted as he blocked a swing from GaoRed, "Stopping these guys and helping Kaito is our job, isn't it?"
"Hah!? Now he's all for it?" Magine gawked, "The nerve of that guy…"
"Oh dear…we missed a lot…" Vroon muttered, fixing his glasses.
"These guys are in for it now!" Tangle growled as she pulled her Geartlasher out.
"Whatever the case, as long as he gets it. Let's just let the brat have his moment this time," Juran sighed, "We got a job to do: fight these fake Paisem and help Kaito!"
"...Seems he accepts you," Whisper noted.
"Hm?" Magine looked to the wolf.
"Hey, yeah. He said 'our!'" Tangle grinned.
"...Ah! That he did!" Juran chuckled, patting the shoulders of Magine and Vroon, "Well let's get to it then!"
"LET'S GO~!" Tangle whooped as she and Juran charged, Sentai Gears already loaded and spinning in their weapons, "TANGLE~ THE~ LEMUR~!"
"Ah! They just ran in!" Vroon panicked.
"Hah…" Whisper sighed, taking her own Geartlasher out along with Vroon and Magine with their Geartlinger.
"Mou…" Magine sighed in agreement as they all began cranking.
"Stacy!" Kaito called out, reaching the roof with their new enemy.
"Good time," Stacy mused.
"I have to know, what are you? Human…or Kikainoid?" Kaito asked, "Why would you side with people like Ijirude or Eggman?!"
"I might be human," Stacy spoke up simply, "At least Half."
"Half?" Kaito blinked.
Stacy said nothing more as he popped his Geatozinger open and slotted a gear with a unique helmet on it and the kanji for Dark. With a motion of slamming it shut, he raised the Geartozinger and began cranking.
"Just so you know…it's nothing personal. It's not like I have a vendetta for attacking the Tojitendo. This is just a mission," he finished cranking, "Ankoku Change!" he declared loudly so even the Zenkaigers below would hear.
=̴͠J̷A̸̕͞B͟͜ĄN~͝!̢͜=
With that, Stacy took his Geartozinger…and jammed the barrel into his arm before pulling the trigger. Purple energy burst forth from the point of contact before turning into purple flames that spread across his body, while something that looked like liquid metal began spreading up his body and fully encasing it before changing his form into something different. His eyes widened as a helix of DNA formed in it before what appeared to be gears began merging with it. A flash of red spread over his eyes as the transformation completed changing him into a new form entirely.
=STA~CAESAR!=
The new form he took…looked like a Ranger. The suit was purple down the center of his chest and down his legs, with black forming along his sides and arms and accented by white circuitry patterns. Black boots and gloves formed with bright red rings around the ankles and wrists and cuffs with spikes at the ends of the cuffs, his fingers ending in small claws. A dark metal chestplate covered his upper chest with red lines forming towards his shoulders to black rounded shoulder plates with giant red spikes. A Tojiru Gear formed in the center of his chest plate. His head was now a purple helmet with a silver mouthplate with what looked like a nose and mouth, his visor was three red slits over each eye, as a white stripe formed down his left eye, multiple small spikes making the image of hair. A long white scarf formed behind him to finish his transformation.
=EH?! Th-That looks like Battle Fever J, tune!= Secchan gawked.
=Oh those rip off artists! First they rip off our Sentai Gear project, now this?!= Skye ranted =Where's a lawyer when you need one?! Someone get me White! I need to find the legalities and if we can sic the IRS equivalent of their world on 'em!=
"Ankoku no power…" the transformed Stacy began as he moved his arms around as the Tojitendo symbol formed behind him, "StaCaesar!" His name formed in kanji before English letters formed over it.
"What the…?" Lien-Da gasped, the Grand Masters, Eggman, and Ijirude watching a screen of the ongoing battle.
"That was…" Akuhlt began with wide eyes.
"R-Roboticization?!" Tundra finished, his goggles falling off in his shock.
"Yes…my suggestion," Eggman responded with a wide grin, "With his unique genealogy, it actually brings out the Kikainoid DNA inside of him as the dominate genetics and then amplifies them, bringing out an even greater power output than ever before!"
"And you two picked my son because…?" Barashita asked.
"We wanted someone like Zenkaiser," Ijirude replied, "In other words…someone who was as organic as possible."
"I see. A test soldier," Barashitara recognized.
"Thankfully, you leave behind so many," Ijirude laughed.
"...By any chance, have you…" Hood began.
"Sorry! Only one as of right now!" Eggman laughed, "And even if there were…why would we waste giving one to you lot?!"
"Granted if we were generous…we doubt you could survive the process," Ijirude added, "You'd have to be born with the right genetics or made for the process used!"
"And as it stands…None of you were made for it," Eggman added with a belittling smile.
"Grr…" Conquering Storm narrowed her eyes as she glared at the two with Akhlut and Tundra, 'The Sakurai still have an advantage…'
"I will defeat the Zenkaigers and prove myself as the one better than the others," StaCaesar stated before opening fire on Kaito.
"Uwah!" Kaito yelped, rolling to the side as he avoided the rapid fire assault.
He vaulted over a railing as StaCaesar kept firing upon him until he got to a small part of the rooftop with a slanted window set up. He got behind it but not before a shot grazed his cheek and drew blood. He hissed as he reached up to it and slowly looked at the blood on his fingers. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the transformed Tojitendo member.
"Alright," Kaito spoke as he pulled out his Geartlinger, "I'll fight you!"
"Hmm…" StaCaesar stopped shooting as Kaito stood up.
"I can't afford to be beaten, no matter what!" Kaito declared loudly, "I've gotta beat the Tojitendo and save the world!" he paused, "And get Tou-chan, Kaa-chan, and Auntie back!" he raised his fist up, "And be the first to do something! I've got too many things I want to do!"
"How greedy…" StaCaesar chuckled.
"And I plan to do all of it!" Kaito slapped the Geartlinger closed with the gear inside, "Change Zenkai!"
=ZENKAISER!=
"Himitsu no power!" he declared as he struck his pose before aiming his Geartlinger forward, "Zenkaiser! Ikuze, Zenryoku Zenkai!" at that, he rushed forward.
"Koi!" StaCaesar called out, doing the same.
The two began shooting as their bullets clashed with one another mid-air, causing an area of endless sparks and building energy before they both shot at each other once getting into pointblank range causing a large explosion. The two grunted, swinging through the smoke as they clashed and deflected eachothers arms back and forth. Zenkaiser grunted, blocking StaCaesar's arm and twisting it around before swinging him around. StaCaesar grunted as he ran with it before kicking off the railing and using the momentum to flip Zenkaiser…only for the Sentai Leader to twist around and land with his feet first to stop the impact. The two grunted as they tighten their grip before each aimed at the other before shooting causing another explosion.
"Hmm?" Zenkai Juran pondered as the smoke and gunfire continued on the roof, he then blinked as he finally got a glimpse of StaCaesar as the two pushed the others gun away to keep them from aiming at each other, "Oi?" he asked, deflecting a swing from AkaRanger, "Is that Stacy!?"
"Kaito?" Zenkai Gaon grunted slashing GaoRed, "So…you've made up your mind?" he nodded as he swung his claws to stop GaoBlue, "Then we have to do the same!"
"Gaon!" Zenkaiser shouted while he and StaCaesar jumped off the exploding roof, the White Ranger tossing a Sentai Gear to him.
"Oh!" he cheered, grabbing it, "Soka!" he shouted spotting what Gear it was, "Ikuze!" he slotted it in while rolling forward and aiming up.
=NI-JU-GO BANG! GAO~RANGER!=
The image of the six Gaorangers formed in the air before they all flew as lights into different Zenkaigers. Red went into Gaon, Blue into Juran, Black into Vroon, White into Magine, Yellow into Topaz, and Silver into Onyx.
"Fight Wild with Wild!" Gaon roared.
"Cobalt-san," Kurenai spoke.
"Ah. Let's try out the new tricks with a little Engine!" Cobalt declared.
=GO~ONGER!=
Images of the teams formed before going into Cobalt and Kurenai. Cobalt grasped Go-On Red's sword in his free hand as Kurenai wielded a Mantarn Gun in Rod Mode. The Kakurangers sent a barrage of origami cranes at them as the Go-Ongers fired. Both smirked behind their helmets before they moved, looking like a pair of blurs that swiftly evaded each and every ranged attack as they instantly got in close, their arms becoming blurs as they slashed and hacked at blinding speeds, sending sparks flying. With the others, they all roared as they began to flip, jump, kick, and claw at the Gorengers and Gaorangers, transparent claws coating their fingertips.
Gaon growled as he grabbed GaoRed before slashing him with his claws before swinging around to slash AkaRanger. He spun GaoRed around before tossing him into AkaRanger knocking both off their feet, "Gao!" he roared, scraping his hand claws across the Gaon Claw coating it in sparks of fire before he jumped and swung down, slashing both as a bright yellow flash came off his claws.
"Hah!" ZenkaiJuran shouted he ran into GaoBlack before pinning him to the ground; as he swung around and kicked MomoRanger knocking her away, he dragged GaoBlack up before he jumped back and drop-kicked him into MomoRanger.
"Hah!" Zenkai Vroon roared, slamming GaoWhite into the ground before he raised his arm to block KiRanger's punch; he slammed his clawed hand into GaoWhite's helmet before spinning his body around to slam KiRanger into the ground, his other hand slamming the yellow ranger's helmet into the ground with great force.
"Gao~" Zenkai Magine growled as she landed on GaoYellow's shoulders making him spin around as she swung and slashed AoRanger, she then slammed both her hands on GaoYellow's helmet before scratching it, making him fall over.
"Gao!" Zenkai Topaz cheered as she flipped forward before slashing with both hands striking GaoBlue, she then ducked under MidoRanger before swinging her hands and scratching him across the chest.
"Gao Hustler Rod!" Zenkai Onyx declared, holding GaoSilver's iconic weapon, she twisted it into Rifle mode before aiming and shooting all the Gorengers making them stumble away from the others, she kept shooting till they all gathered together in one spot, "Now! Laser Pool" she twisted the weapon around into Break mode, "Haja!" she swung it in a wide arc, creating a green field of light that entrapped all five of them in one place; she then held her hand up as three crystal spheres formed in her palm as she slapped them down onto the green field, "Seijukyu!" She adjusted the Hustler Rod and aimed at them before pulling back and releasing as all three jewels were launched forward and bouncing around the laser pool before striking the Gorengers, "Jaki Gyokusai!" she shouted as they all exploded into puffs of black and purple smoke.
"Gao!" Zenkai Gaon roared as he and the others slashed the Gaorangers, leaving large glowing gashes across them before they burst into the same dark smoke.
"We're gonna steamroll these fake Paisem at this rate!" ZenkaiJuran cheered, picking up his sword as the Ranger Gear wore off.
"Now!" Cobalt called, the two cracking their blades.
=HERO~! SUPER~ZENKAI~TIME!=
Kurenai and Cobalt cried out as the emblem formed before them before they ran right through it…becoming twenty copies of themselves, all semi-transparent, "ZENKAI PHANTOM RUSH!"
"EH?!" the others exclaimed as the duplicates unleashed a rapid slash assault before reforming into a single Kurenai and Cobalt behind the Kakurangers and Go-Ongers before the two fake Sentai exploded in the dark smoke.
"OI, oi, oi! What was that?!" Zenkai Juran gawked.
"New technique," Cobalt replied as he and Kurenai leaned on one another.
"Can't pull it off outside of our transformations yet…but…but very effective…" Kurenai added.
"When did you two even practice this?" Zenkai Vroon asked.
"It was so cool~!" Zenkai Topaz awed, stars in his visor.
=Excuse me, but…aren't you forgetting there's still one fake Sentai left? One that ran after Kaito?= Clove reminded.
"AH!" they all panicked before they ran off, Vroon carrying Cobalt and Kurenai.
Zenkaiser and StaCaesar roared while running through a construction site as they blasted at one another back and forth. Bullet after bullet flew past them as they ran around each other in a circle, closing in over time before grunting as they ran up to one another and punched at the same time. Their fists collided as a shockwave rang out. The two grunted, pushing with all their arms had before pushing the other back. As they did, they flipped around and began shooting as they hit one another. The two landed as they aimed at one another again.
The two stepped to the side, flinching and aiming as they waited for the other to make the first move. After another moment of tense mental planning, the two rushed while shooting with rapid fire, bullets glancing off or missing each other, with others clashing and exploding in mid-air. As the two neared one another they jumped and swung their guns as they tried to strike one another only to clash their firearms with the barrels crossing. Zenkaiser grunted, grabbing StaCaesar's arm and pushing it away so he couldn't aim at him, the Tojitendo warrior grunting as he leaned back and swung his leg around the Zenkaiger as he tripped him to the ground. The two struggled as they tumbled along the ground, both trying to aim at the other so as to pin them in some way. But this proved difficult as they both seemed evenly matched.
Zenkaiser grunted, landing on his back, before he yelped and swung his Geartlinger up to push the Geartozinger out of his face, making it misfire and hit the ground. StaCaesar growled as he grabbed the Geartlinger by the barrel and pushed it away only for Zenkaiser to do the same to the Geartozinger. The two grunted, but Zenkaiser thought on his feet faster as he swung his leg…and twirled StaCaesar's scarf around it before he pulled and made his new rival grunt as he was pulled off Zenkaiser. StaCaesar tried to aim again before rolling out of the way of several gunshots and a laser fire. Zenkaiser looked to see the others running up, Geartlingers and one Variable Wispon's barrels all smoking from fired shots.
"Hmm…" StaCaesar grunted as he dusted himself off, "Seems they have some actual skill afterall."
"Yosha!" Zenkaiser cheered.
"Well if that was simple, then lets up the difficulty," he opened his Geartozinger and flipped the gear before he began rapidly cranking the handle, "Try these!" he aimed…up and to the side before he fired.
=J͘͢͠U͜-̴̷̛Ŗ̶̀OĶ̢҉U͏̧́ ̀BANG͏! ̷̡͘N͘͡I-JU̷-͢͟GO ̴͘͠B̴̢͡ANG!҉ N̶I̸͘͏-JU͏̷-̧̢̡K̢̕͟YU͝ B̡͞A͜NǴ͏̨!͘ ҉̶̛SA̛N͘͏-̧J̷̶̛U ͟B͏̷̕A̵͘NG!̴͜=҉̡͏
At that, the ground began trembling fiercely as purple lights shone from the streets before what seemed to be metal slabs rose into the air with images etched into them. Images of giant robots, to be precise. The slabs faded away to reveal four Super Sentai Mecha that looked remarkably like the four Kikainoid Zenkaigers.
=GYAAAH~!= Secchan freaked.
"Oi, oi, oi! They look a lot like us!" Zenkai Juran gawked.
"I think you have it in reverse," Onyx quietly noted.
=He does! These are the forms you four are based off of!= Skye panicked
=́Z͟Y͜͝U-R̀͟͡RR̕AN͝G҉͠E͢R!̷=
=Zyuanger's Shinka Gattai Daizyuzin!=
=͘͜GAO-̕RR̸͞R͘A͏N̵̴̛G͜ER͘͢!=
=Gaoranger's Hyakuju Gattai GaoKing!=
=̷͞M̸͘A̶̸͞G͡I-̡Ŕ̕͡R̵R҉̕͜Ą́NG̢̛Ȩ͝͡R!=͟͝
=Magiranger's Majin Gattai MagiKing!=
=BOU-K͜͡͝EN̢͢͡GE̵̛͠RŖ͝R!͢͡=
=And Boukenger's GoGo Gattai DaiBouken!=
=They're all Super Sentai mecha, tune!= Secchan panicked as the four mechs entered fighting stances.
"He can even summon giant robots!?" Zenkai Vroon gawked.
"Okay, I have to admit…that is pretty cool!" Zenkaiser and Zenkai Cobalt gawked.
At that, the Four Robots aimed their swords at the Zenkaigers and unleashed bolts of energy that caused the ground around them to begin exploding, tossing the Zenkaigers around like ragdolls while the ground was now set ablaze.
"You two had to be impressed…" Zenkai Juran groaned.
"Evil…so…evil…" Zenkai Kurenai groaned.
"Agreed!" Zenkai Topaz complained, "Turning cool giant robots…into our enemies! That makes me so kichikichi!"
=HURRI~CANGER! MAGI~RANGER!=
"You know what to do, Me!" Kurenai ordered.
"Hai~!" Roll saluted as she ran off.
"Huh…So that's how you do your streaming," StaCaesar noted.
"We'll handle the big ones!" Zenkai Juran grunted, pushing himself up as he pulled out his Geartlinger, "You guys handle Stacy!"
"You sure you don't want backup?" Topaz asked.
"We'll be good," Zenkai Juran assured.
"Take down the commander and the entire enemy force shall topple!" Zenkai Vroon laughed in agreement.
"By that logic, five down here taking down Stacy should stop those big…scary…intimidating…" Zenkai Magine trailed off as she trembled, "C-Can we switch?"
"No time," Zenkai Juran replied.
"Ah mou~!" she whined, but flipped her gear over.
"So you five?" StaCaesar asked.
"Yep!" Zenkaiser replied, "I already did my role call!"
"So just us then," Cobalt grinned under his mask.
"Ninja Power! Zenkai Kurenai!"
"Engine Power! Zenkai Cobalt!"
"Jyuken Power! Zenkai Topaz!"
"Tokumei Power…Zenkai Onyx…"
"Go-nin Sorote!" Zenkaiser shouted, holding his hand out, "Kikai Sentai…"
"Zenkaiger!" they all shouted, striking their team pose as the team symbol formed.
"Heh…" StaCaesar chuckled, "I suppose I made a whole point about it anyway. Koi Zenkaigers…you will fall by my hands." he declared as he began walking forward before running at them.
"Let's Zenryoku Zenkai!" Zenkaiser shouted as they ran at StaCaesar.
StaCeasar grunted as he used his Geartozinger to stop Cobalt and Kurenai's blades. He pushed them up and over him before he swung his right arm out and landed a lariat to Cobalt before he tossed him to the ground. He swung his hand up and blocked Kurenai's sword with his hand, making smoke and sparks come off his palm. Kurenai flinched at this as StaCaesar gripped the sword with his hand and began swinging with all his might, dragging her around before tossing her into Topaz. He grunted as Zenkaiser and Onyx began shooting his back, making more sparks fly. StaCaesar just chuckled as he swung around and fired back, making them duck out of the way.
"Wah…he's crazy strong…" Zenkai Topaz grunted, "Is this what it's like to fight Kaito? No wonder Tojitendo hates us…"
"He fights like Kaito, too…" Zenkai Cobalt grunted while getting up, "He just rushes in like a storm…"
"He doesn't even care if we hit him…he just wants to win…" Zenkai Kurenai realized.
"Grr!" Zenkaiser and StaCaesar grunted as they swung at one another, trading blows back and forth as they pushed the other's gun away so they couldn't shoot it. Zenkaiser grabbed StaCaesar before twisting him around and let Onyx shoot him several times.
StaCaesar grunted, slamming his elbow into Zenkaiser's chest, making the White Ranger grunt and release his grip. The Tojitendo warrior swung his Geartozinger around as he began shooting a rapid fire barrage at Onyx making her run to avoid getting hit, but the assault was stopped when Zenkaiser kicked StaCaesar's arm and made him aim into the sky as a result. StaCaesar jumped and twisted around as he aimed at Zenkaiser who jumped out of the way. The Tojitendo warrior blinked before spinning around and using his gun to block Cobalt's Geartlasher, the two grunted as they pushed against one another, only for StaCaesar to step back and let Cobalt lose his balance for a moment.
StaCaesar grunted as he swung his Geartozinger around to block a slash from Kurenai before he was struck in the back of his helmet by Topaz who used her Geartlasher like a tonfa, and hit him with the primary handle of her weapon. StaCaesar grunted rolling across the ground before flipping into the air as he spun his body around and sprayed the Zenkaigers with a barrage of gunfire making them all flinch and step back. StaCaesar landed with a grunt before aiming at them, he began running as the five ran after him.
Meanwhile, fighting on a whole larger scale, were the Four Kikainoid Zenkaigers as they grew to giant size. The standby music from the Geartlinger rang through the air as they all lined up and combined into their ZenkaiOh formations. However, this just meant each ZenkaiOh had to face down two Super Sentai Mecha copies. ZenkaiOh JuraGaon grunted, clashing blades with Daizyujin, only for GaoKing to slash the Zenkai Gattai across the abdomen, making sparks fly. Meanwhile, ZenkaiOh VrooMagine was in the midst of fighting MagiKing and Daibouken as the two robot copies were overwhelming ZenkaiOh VrooMagine with amazing power from two sides which pushed the second Zenkai Gattai back and slamming into a building.
=This is bad! Those copies still have as much power as the originals, tune! This fight is to unfair, tune!=
=Especially for Juran= Skye noted.
=Why? He's not fighting some sorta god is he?= Cassia asked…before an uncomfortable silence followed =...Wait…=
=T-Try actual God…= both Secchan and Skye muttered.
"Ah mou~! Both ZenkaiOh are having such difficulties!" Roll commentated from a safe spot that let her still narrate close by, "That fiendish StaCaesar…How can he get away with causing such a demented mirror match?"
=AH! They are doing the finishers too, tune! That's a combination of Chodenzetsu Raikougiri and Tenchi Gomei: Animal Hearts!= Secchan shouted as Daizyujin and GaoKin began charging up energy, the former into its sword and the later into the 5 animal heads that made up its formation =OH NO, TUNE! And that's a combination of King Calibur Mahougiri and Adventure Drive!= Both MagiKing and Daibouken charged energy into their swords as they held them up.
"Uwah~! This would be so heroic if not for the situation…" Roll gasped.
Daizyujin's sword began absorbing the beams from GaoKing, making the blade grow massive with golden and red energy. Meanwhile, Daibouken's sword was surrounded by multiple copies of MagiKing's sword as they began melding into Daibouken's blade, making it grow into a massive energy blade.
"Ah! Minna, split up so they miss!" Kurenai shouted before dodging a shot from StaCaesar.
The Two ZenkaiOh's did as ordered but even with the giant energy blades passing through the gap…the energy radiating off of them caused the four Kikainoid Zenkaigers to yelp as they were forced father apart before the explosions of the blades impacting the ground sent them all flying and crashing as their default forms but still giant.
"Mecha mecha tsuyoi…" Zenkai Magine groaned in pain.
"Even the pain is giant sized…" Zenkai Juran groaned as he tried to push himself up.
"Why are copies still so strong…how hard were the fights these Sentai had?" Zenkai Vroon complained.
"It's…so frustrating…we're letting everyone down…" Zenkai Gaon grunted in frustration.
"Oh no! This is terrible! Both ZenkaiOh have broken apart! This feels completely unfair!" Roll groaned, "Ah mou…If only we had OoZenkaiOh…"
=Still repairing them!= Ayane declared.
=I get the feeling my two buddies walloped me with a frying pan= Skye noted =And it is unfair! One's a literal god, one's nature itself, one is raw magic, and the last one borderlines an anime super fighting robot!=
=It could be worse, tune. He didn't summon the big guns, tune=
=THEY GET STRONGER?!= multiple voices shouted.
=They always get stronger, tune!=
"Always get stronger?" Zenkai Gaon asked, "Soka…then we have to do the same!"
"We can't afford to lose, so many people are counting on us!" Zenkai Vroon nodded, "We need to overcome any dangers that come our way!"
"Then let's just grow bigger!" Zenkai Magine declared, "Let's grow bigger and bigger 'till we can stomp them out!"
"I like it!" Zenkai Juran cheered, "Flip the Gears again!"
"Oh? What are they doing this time?" Roll pondered as the three followed his lead.
=BIG BANG!=
With that, the four giant Zenkaigers aimed to the sky and fired, expecting the Gear to fall over them and grow them larger. However…instead beams of light shot out and joined together in the sky, forming one massive orb. The four blinked in confusion, worried they might have done something wrong. Instead of something bad, however, the light took the form of a Geartlinger…and began growing bigger and bigger 'till it was almost twice the size of the near 50 meter tall Zenkaigers.
"EH?! A giant Geartlinger has just appeared!" Roll gasped.
"Sugei! What is that!?" Zenkaiser cheered as he held StaCaesar's arm in an arm bar, said Tojitendo warrior tilting his head in confusion as he held Cobalt in a headlock.
=OH~! It's appeared! The signature team Bazooka, tune!= Secchan cheered.
=A classic Super Sentai staple= Skye agreed.
=D-did you know about this?= Cassia asked.
"Then we know what to call it!" Zenkai Juran cheered.
"GEARTLINGER BAZOOKA!-!" they declared.
"Oh~! Geartlinger Bazooka?!" Roll awed, stars in the duplicate's eyes, "Ohh~! This is so exciting! A brand new hissatsu comes!"
"Yosha! …Ah…" Zenkai Gaon looked at the back of the bazooka.
"What?" Zenkai Vroon asked as Zenkai Juran looked as well.
"We have no ammo," the red Ranger replied, opening the top of the bazooka to show no Sentai Gear within.
"EH?!" the pink and blue Rangers exclaimed in disbelief.
"Juran, heads up!" Topaz called, pulling out a Sentai Gear while on StaCaesar's shoulders and repeatedly bonking him with the butt of her sword as he was having Kurenai in a chokehold, stomping on Onyx's back, and shooting at Zenkaiser and Cobalt.
"Eh? What is Zenkai Topaz…?" Roll began as Topaz threw the Sentai Gear up to Juran…and it grew big enough to fit into the bazooka, "NANI KORE?! It grew?!"
"You really shouldn't be shocked by what these things do by this point…" Zenkaiser grunted as he grabbed StaCaesar's arm and made him grunt before he spun him around, freeing Kurenai and Onyx.
"Oh! This is perfect!" Zenkai Juran chuckled as he looked at the Liveman Sentai Gear and loaded it into the bazooka, "Sentai Gear set!"
"Targets…" Zenkai Gaon declared as reticules appeared on the four Sentai mechs in his vision.
"...Lock…" Zekai Magine added.
"...On!" Zenkai Vroon finished.
"Heave-ho!" Zenkai Gaon declared as he began to crank the large handle.
=HERO~! SUPER~ZENKAI TIME!=
"FIRE ZENKAI!" the four shouted as they unleashed a massive beam of energy as multiple gear-like patterns formed like shockwaves around it before it crashed into and through GaoKing, before flying into a Gear shaped portal, a new one opening in front of MagiKing before blasting through it and into another portal, once more a portal opened before Daibouken before it was torn apart by the massive beam of energy before the same portal opened behind, and the beam fired out of a new one and tore into Daizyujin, before vanishing into a portal. A final portal opened from the left of the line of Super Sentai Mecha and blasted each of them all at once, causing them to explode into the same dark smoke clouds as the Sentai clones.
=DAI~ ZENKAI!=
"SUGOI~!" Roll squealed, her tail wagging happily, as the bazooka vanished with the four Kikainoid Rangers cheering, "What an amazing finisher! The explosive force took down four duplicates of previous Sentai mechs that were giving them all trouble earlier as ZenkaiOh JuraGaon and VrooMagine!"
"That was wicked awesome!" Topaz screamed in excitement.
"Very…zenkai…" Onyx nodded.
"Hmph…" StaCaesar huffed as he kicked Cobalt aside, "You surprised me again. I didn't know you had such a weapon at your disposal." he began cranking his Geartozinger rapidly at that, "But what about this?"
"Oh no," Kurenai squeaked as he fired.
Twelve monoliths emerged from the shots fired. As each one dissolved, a Sentai Mech stood in their places. Secchan and Skye screamed in panic over the lines, recognizing each and every single one.
"Bwah!? HAH!?" Zenkaier gawked.
=Oh this is bad…Very very bad!= Secchan panicked.
=I'll say!= Skye agreed as, in the base, he pointed at one red dragon-themed mech =They went with just Mythical Qi Warrior Ryuusei Oh instead of Gosei Gattai Dairen'Oh!=
=Really, sir?= Clove deadpanned.
=It both freaks me out and irks me!=
=Uh…Ay-ay's scribbling and mumbling= Cassia noted.
=You are not stealing it and upgrading it, missy!= Skye scolded.
=I will not be one-upped by whoever built that thing!=
"Oh, sugar honey iced tea…" Zenkai Gaon gulped.
"We're in for it now," Zenkai Juran tensed as Zenkai Magine ran behind him with wide eyes and a dropped jaw.
"...Um…Why are only those two in the front moving?" Zenkai Vroon asked, motioning to DaiDenzin and BioRobo…who were the only two moving.
"Hmm?" StaCaesar looked at the Geartozinger, "Masaka…" he sighed.
"AAAHHHH!-!-!" Eggman and Ijirude screamed, "He went too big! He's going to overload the clone system!"
"Say what?" Lien-Da raised a brow.
"Uh…docs?" Tundra spoke up, "He's cranking out more."
"WHAT?!" both exclaimed as they looked back at the screen, seeing more Sentai mechs appearing, "Nononononononono!-!-!-!"
"Someone stop him!" Eggman panicked.
=...Okay, I demand you guys get that stupid thing!= Skye snapped.
"Eh?!" the regular-sized Zenkaigers gawked at that order.
"Wh-What happened to you saying you didn't want to take it?!" Topaz asked.
=It gave us Ryuusei Oh for Dairanger…but Go-Busters gets the full Tokumei Gattai Go-Buster Oh?! I AM VERY ANGRY!= Skye ranted =THIS IS UNFAIR TREATMENT TO THOSE WHO LOVE THE SHOWA ERA, DANG IT!=
"Tou-san…" Kurenai groaned as she facepalmed in pure embarrassment along with her clone.
"Oi! I like giant robots as much as the next guy, but you're gonna fill the world with nothing but Kyodai Robo!" Zenkaiser shouted while grabbing StaCaesar's arm only for the Tojitendo warrior to slam a knee into his abdomen, "Gah!"
"Back off!" StaCaesar shouted, punching Zenkaiser into Cobalt, he then grunted as he dodged a swing from Kurenai, "I'm in the middle of something!" he swung a kick, knocking her Geartlasher out of her hand before punching her in the abdomen, "Move…" he leaned back to kick her away as he began cranking again, "Don't tell me those idiots made it like I think…"
=They did, my lord= Starline's voice came from a radio in his helmet =If you keep trying to force it to summon more...chances are it'll end with it being rendered useless=
"I was afraid of such a thing…" he sighed as he opened the Geartozinger and pulled the gear out…making all the Mecha poof and dissipate into smoke, "So it's not perfected at all. I should have figured it still had issues to test."
"A-Ah…S-So many…" Roll moaned, her eyes swirling as she fell onto her rear with smoke coming out of the top of her head, "U-Until next time, minna…I'm…I'm gonna…mecha~!"
"Ah…your copy doing the stream got overloaded on all the giant robos," Topaz gawked as the cameras cut the stream and let her vanish in a puff of smoke.
"Wait…what just happened? Did we win?" Cobalt asked, only to yelp as he was blasted with a large purple beam, sending him flying and flashing back to Sonic, "GUWAH!"
"I don't like that one…" StaCaesar sighed, lowering the smoking Geartozinger, "But yes I am pulling back. It would seem my system isn't perfect yet. I wanted to crush you with the full power of my Geartozinger…but I suppose it needs more fine tuning."
"So…we win?" Topaz asked.
"Tie…" Onyx corrected as the giant members shrunk back down to regroup, "There is no guarantee he can't just summon another robot."
"Not that I should risk it," StaCaesar sighed, "Clearly…I need to rethink how to fight you if that is the extent of this thing's power." he turned his back to them as he began walking, "Till next time, Zenkaigers."
"Eh?! J-Just like that?!" Kurenai exclaimed, "Oi…You come back here and resummon those! Especially the ones Tousan ranted about!"
"YABEI!" the others all barked, realizing it got to her too and not just her copy.
"They're right!" a voice got everyone's attention as Barashitara walked in, "This is a bitter way to end your Combat Debut!"
"Ah! Barashitara!" Zenkaiser gawked.
"Why are you here?!" Zenkai Juran demanded.
"Why else? I'm here to celebrate my son's spectacular debut to the warzone!" Barashitara declared with a laugh.
"...SON?!" the Zenkaigers exclaimed..
=...Uh…= Skye, Secchan, Yatsude, Amy, and Ayane all uttered as the Zenkaigers could swear they heard the necks being turned to look at Clove and Cassia in the base.
=Barashitara had a…penchant for strong-willed women…=
=He went the harem route in dating sims=
"Wah…but…no matter how you cut it…he's a human…a-and you're a tank!" Topaz shouted.
"I…but…this…" Onyx was at a loss for words, her Wisps all falling to the floor from overthinking it.
"His Mother was human!" Barashitara laughed, "Let's see…what was it…she was wife number 398…no wait, Wife Number 493!"
"Wrong!" StaCaesar shouted, "She was Number 893…" he corrected.
=THAT IS A LOT OF WOMEN, TUNE!= Secchan yelped.
=H-How does that even work? How could he…does he have some sort of…= Ayane tried to think.
"No matter how you say it, he's a creep…" Zenkai Magine muttered.
"That…that's just…" the others muttered in shock.
"Wow…and I thought my luck with women was horrible…" Sonic whispered to himself.
"The conquests of war and combat~" Barashitara smirked, "I am just weak to a woman who has the nerve to stand up to me," he chuckled.
"This always happens when people learn of it…" StaCaesar sighed, shaking his head.
"Ah…I even brought a gift for celebrating, too," Barashitara sighed.
"Gift?" Kurenai pondered as she helped Sonic up to his feet.
"What a touching evil father and son moment…" Zenkai Juran muttered, only to yelp when StaCaesar shot him.
"Don't call us that…" he growled, his eyes glowing brightly with anger.
"But isn't that true?" Kurenai asked, only to yelp and be forced back into Roll when she was shot at, making her and Sonic tumble in a blue and yellow ball into Zenkaiser's legs.
"Hahahahahaha! Oh that's cute…you think we love each other~" Barashitara laughed, "He's not the first brat of mine out to kill me! He's the…er…567th? 448th?"
"777th," StaCaesar corrected.
"He's my luckiest one!" Barashitara laughed.
"...You have one messed up family," Zenkai Magine summed it up best.
"We are not a family." StaCaesar growled.
"Oh but we are…you are just a fighting machine…just like Papa!" Barashitara laughed as StaCaesar gripped his fist tightly, "I'm sure he'll make an amazing killer!"
"Urusai…" StaCaesar trembled in anger.
"...Ano…What is that gift you brought?" Zenkai Vroon asked.
"...Seriously?" Zenkai Gaon deadpanned, dope slapping the Boukenger-themed Ranger.
"We are in the midst of an Evil Family drama and it looks like someone is going to self-destruct and take us with them…and you're still asking questions!?" Zenkai Juran barked, "Your library card's revoked for a week after this!"
"Hahahaha! Ah…you goofs never fail to entertain me," Barashitara laughed, "Ah…I look forward to see which one of us kills them, Stacy."
"Hmph…I'll kill them before you can even warm up that compensation piece of a cannon…" StaCaesar chuckled darkly at that.
"Hahaha…we'll see…Anyway!" he changed the subject while snapping his fingers, "Koi! Door World!"
At that, a World Monster whose head was a large door with a golden frame and red door with a golden face acting as a knocker approached with a hop in his step. His left arm looked like a machine gun with a double drum magazine attached and, from an angle, resembled a key.
"Hai~! Konnichiwa~! I'm Door World, door! Domo, domo, domo!" the World Monster greeted, bashfully rubbing the back of his door-shaped head.
"Door World?" Zenkaiser asked, helping Roll and Sonic up.
"Do the thing!" Barashitara ordered.
"Door Tojiru Gear power activate!" he shouted, "OPEN THE DOOR!" at that, 6 golden doors formed behind the Zenkaigers.
"Doors?" Topaz blinked.
"Hah!" Barashitara shouted, already in front of them with his spear held back, "FOUR~!" he swung a powerful wide swing as the power behind it sent all of them flying into the doors, the Four Kikainoids all getting their own personal door while Onyx and Topaz flew into the same, and the trio of Zenkaiser, Roll, and Sonic all went into the same door, as they all closed behind them and faded away.
"Tsk…" StaCaesar scoffed as he flashed back into Stacy, "What game are playing?"
"Haha! It's too soon to end the fight…when you battled Zenkaiser…I saw you…show me that power…find him…defeat him! Kill Zenkaiser!" Barashitara cheered, "Show you have my very lifeblood flowing through you!"
"Hmph…Starline, track them," he held a hand to his ear, revealing the intricate and large silver jewelry covering most of it, "I shall be returning soon…This time, I will face Zenkaiser without interference."
=Understood, sire= Starline replied as Stacey walked off.
"Oi…Door World, follow him," Barashitara ordered.
"Hai! Domo, domo, domo!" Door World cheered as he followed after Stacey, repeatedly bowing and chanting 'domo' in the process.
"...Oh the headaches from that blasted purple pigeon's orders for these Worlds…" Barashitara groaned once the two were out of his sight.
"Gwah!" Kaito yelped, coming out of a doorway with Sonic and Roll.
"Ugh…Remind me to spray paint graffiti on that tank guy later…" Sonic grumbled.
"...Ano…" Roll blinked a few times…looking at the small family of three at the dining table of the modest apartment they were in, "Gomen nassai?"
"And you kids are?" the parents tilted their heads in confusion at this sudden intrusion of their home as the little girl smiled and waved to them.
"I'm Goshikida Kaito and these are my friends Sonic and Sakurai Roll," Kaito replied before blinking a few times, "Wait…Where are we?"
Gaon yelped as he fell through a opened glass door into a busy office, startling the various human, Kikainoid, and Mobian workers, "Ah! What is going on?!" he jumped up, "Ah! Where're Kaitoh and the other fluffy teammates of mine?!"
"Wah!?" Juran gawked as he stumbled into a modest traditional Japanese room, probably in someone's home, "How Traditional…Maybe I outta find a way back to Colorful before this gets weirder…"
"Nununu?!" Magine yelped as she stumbled into an elevator, "Ah! Wh-What's going on?! Why am I…?" she spun around in time for the elevator to close…with all the buttons pushed, "Ah! How cruel!"
"Yaya?" Vroon blinked, finding himself outside a large convenience store, "Where am I!?" he shouted, not able to recognize anything in the area, "Is this still Tokyo!?"
"WHOA!" Tangle yelped as she and Whisper fell through an open window into an onsen, "Ah! Whew…Pretty steamy in here."
"U-uhm…Tangle…" Whisper muttered.
"AAAHH!" several men of human, Mobian, or Kikai origins, all clad in only towels, panicked as they ran out as fast as they could.
"...Huh. It's like they've never seen gals before," Tangle noted, a drop of sweat falling down the back of the wolf's head.
"I'm really sorry for our intrusion!" Kaito apologized with a bow as Roll was signing an autograph for the excited girl.
"At least we know we're in Japan still," Roll noted, giving the autograph to the little girl.
"How so?" Sonic asked.
"My streams only show up for people in Japan," Roll replied, "YouTube is weird like that."
"Ohh…" he nodded.
"We'll be leaving now. Have a nice day, bye-bye," Kaito waved to the little girl as he opened the door and the three walked through only for them to gasp as they found themselves in a public restroom…a Men's Restroom at that.
"Ah!" Roll squeaked, covering her eyes while her tail grabbed Sonic's arm.
"Okay, I can get around fast…but…this…this is nuts," Sonic looked around and back at the stall door they seemingly exited through, "Oh…oh, I'm not liking this."
Juran walked through the way he entered…and ended up going through the doors to a cafe, "Eh? Well…That's not good."
"I can't help but love the both of you!" a human man spoke up, earning Juran's attention as the human sat between two girls, one a Mobian cat and the other a Kikainoid.
"YOU TWO-TIMER!" the girls snapped as they tried to get at the other girl on the opposite side of the human male.
"Yabei…" Juran whispered in panic at the scene, "I want to leave…but I am afraid of the door…" the fighting and shouting grew louder, "But I also can't look away…ah…"
"Sorry for the intrusion!" Gaon apologized, pulling the door open and charging through…only to smack his face against the glass window of the taxi he fell into, "Guh…"
"Ah! Wh-Who are you?! Are you my passenger for the Uber they called?!" the human driver asked.
"Oji-san, where am I!?" Gaon panicked.
"Oh it's opening!" Magine cheered as she ran through the opening doors…only to scream as she fell out a window into a large patch of mud, "Nu?!" she looked around, seeing herself surrounded by pigs, "I'm at a farm?!"
"Sorry! Coming through!" Tangle shouted, opening the door as she and Whisper walked in only to blink finding themselves in a preschool class full of kids, "Ah! Little cute things!"
"But…that's…and we…" Whisper looked around, the most confused, as her Wisps flew about.
"Aw~ They are so little and cute and Gaon would likely pass out if he were here," Tangle cooed.
"Oh dear…" Whisper was the only one at all putting together what was happening to them.
"Oh I know! I'll just ask the people in here for directions," Vroon entered the store, but instead found himself in a dojo full of men of all three Races practicing Judo, "Yaya!?"
"Oh?" a large burly man dressed in full gi walked up, "You must be the new guy here to learn!"
"Learn?" Vroon blinked.
"We welcome all newcomers who wish to put their body and soul into learning!" he cheered, "Ossu!"
"Ossu! I would be glad to learn!" Vroon declared…while backing away, "Ah but I'm sorry! I have other places to be at the moment. Family-Friend emergency, but I shall be back to learn!" he shouted as he ran through the door he seemingly entered from…only to end up in an interrogation room…while it was being used.
"You did it, didn't you!" a human detective shouted at a human suspect, all while a Mobian Dog was writing things down in the corner.
"Who? Me?" Vroon flinched as he was now hugging the door in panic.
"You got nothing on me, pig!" the suspect snapped.
"Your life is over!" the detective shouted in his face, knocking over the lamp.
"Yaya!?" Vroon panicked as he slid down the wall, too scared to open the door again, and too scared to make his presence known.
"Oh, I'm so glad for the hose here," Magine sighed in relief, the mud all hosed off, "But how do I get out of here?!"
"For the last time, I didn't order an uber! …What even is an uber anyway? Sounds like something a German doctor who lost his medical license that works with several other folks would say while fighting over a land of nothing but dirt," Gaon noted.
"Okay, it's getting worse…" Juran gulped, seeing the human male barely keeping the two women away from one another as they threw the contents of their purses at one another now. He picked up a random table cloth and used it to hide his face, "You didn't see a thing…you didn't see a thing, Juran…just back away before they begin really fighting…" he backed through the door and turned round only to freeze in place seeing…lions, three male lions all lazing in the sun, "G-Gaon…or not?" he blinked as one of the Lions yawned.
The other Lions tilted their head in confusion upon spotting him, but they didn't seem interested at the least.
"Are you sure you're not Gaon?" Juran asked the Lion that yawned, it said nothing but lick him across his face before walking away, "Nope…way too friendly…"
"All together!" Kaito called out as they left the restroom, only for the three to end up in a…manga studio as several assistants turned to notice them.
"Eh?" they blinked.
"Sorry! Wrong door…ah! Spoilers!" Kaito panicked, seeing what they were working on, he covered Sonic and Roll's eyes as he pushed them back through. The three now all inside a small storage closet probably in some office building.
"Hey~Hey, this isn't no seven minutes in heaven," Sonic complained as it was rather cramped, his cheeks pink from realizing the back of his head was pressed against Roll's chest.
"Well now is a rather bad time…" Roll muttered, blushing from how close the blue hedgehog was.
"Hang on," Kaito pulled out his phone, "Moshi-moshi?"
=Kaito! Thank kami-sama, things are chaos all over! We lost Yatsude and Skye when they tried to leave! People all over town are ending up in random places with each door, tune! And Ayane-san is not helpful in problem solving, tune!=
=H-hey!=
=Kaito things are bad all over, and we have lost track of Stacy too, tune! It's him and the World Soldier that are the main problem, tune! You need to find and destroy Door World before the whole Earth is plunged into chaos!=
"Eh?! What happened to Tou-san and Ya-chan?!" Roll asked in worry.
"This must be Kami-sama's way of telling me to take a break and just relax by watching a good movie," Yatsude chuckled, watching the Journey to the West movie the Zenkaigers had watched when they met Whisper, "..." She then paused, "I wonder what happened to Skye-kun? I was following after him but he's not here…or else he'd be nitpicking the plot already."
A taxi cab door opened and Skye stepped out. He opened the door back up, went in, and came out of a door in San Francisco. He walked over to a grocery store, walked in, and emerged from the bathroom upon the ISS, startling the humans on it. He opened it back up, went through, and grabbed the window ledge he came out on…on the top floor of the Empire State Building. With a grunt, he pulled himself through the window and landed on his back inside a convenience store…with everything advertising or joking about the name of Uranus, Missouri, on it.
"Okay…I think I've had my fill of testing this…" he muttered, still a little spooked from the window scare, "..." he opened the door and poked his head through…seeing a startled military officer in Fort Knox, "..." he pulled his head back in and closed the door, "Even bypasses security." he pulled out a bag of Rings and went to the counter and spoke in perfect English, "I'd like to purchase all your strawberry and blueberry-flavored fudge and taffy, please. Oh, and one shirt in each size."
"S-Sure…" the cashier muttered, just as confused about today as probably the rest of the world.
"Okay…no one go through a door," Kaito sighed, "By that I mean…you guys…Obviously, we need to keep doing this crazy game to find Door World. Wish me luck…I have a plan."
=Are you going out a window?=
"Shh…spoilers…" Kaito hushed as he disconnected the call, "Sonic…open the window."
"Wait are…are we?" Roll realized.
"Everyone hang on to me, let my body be your shield!" Kaito grabbed them both and rushed out the window just big enough for them to leap out of once opened. "HAH!" he shouted as they found themselves…popping out of a manhole, the cover held over their heads by Kaito's arms, "Wha…?" he looked up and down several times.
"Aw…It's not one of the Pokemon ones," Roll noted, looking at it sadly.
"Okay…that…made no sense…This is not a door…" Sonic muttered.
"...Could it be that anything you can go in and out of can be considered a 'doorway,' then?" Roll suggested.
"Well at least we're outside…" Kaito muttered, tossing the manhole cover into the air and hopping out with Sonic and Roll, letting it land back in its spot, "That means we just have to avoid doors…and windows…and holes in the ground…wait…what about gates?"
"Oh this is gonna be chaos…" Sonic muttered.
"I don't think we're even in Tokyo now…" Roll muttered, looking around.
"Wait…then…where are the others?"
"Okinawa!?" Juran gawked, talking to a person on the street, "I'm all the way down here!?"
"Hey, I feel ya. I was in New Zealand," a Mobian parakeet noted, sitting nearby with a Kikainoid in a fedora, "And this guy was in Brooklyn leaving his work for the day."
"Seriously?! It's spread that far…?" Juran pondered before seeing them sitting on a man in an orange jumpsuit all tied up, "Ano…"
"Escaped convict," the Kikainoid shrugged.
"Yeah, not touching that," Juran muttered.
"Out the window~!" Tangle cheered, jumping through a window with Whisper…before both yelped while Tangle's tail barely grabbed onto the window ledge of the top floor of the Empire State Building as she held onto a wide-eyed Whisper, "Holy! That is a long drop. …Can we throw a penny down and see if it breaks the sidewalk?"
"Back inside…NOW…" Whisper ordered louder than normal as she got a good view of how high up they were.
"Alright, alright," Tangle pouted as she pulled them back through the window and ended up in a dentist's office.
"Ah! The patient has arrived! Newcomers are always so worried about everything," the dentist shook his head.
"Patient!?" Tangle panicked, "Uh…" before she could react, the dentist had her in the chair as Whisper tilted her head.
"Huh…You have a few cavities. Not an issue, we can get them done immediately!" he cheered as he produced several scary looking dental tools, "Let us begin~"
"...oh my…" Whisper muttered, tilting her head at this development.
"NOOOO~!" Tangle screamed.
"Rrrrr…! If I keep running through these doors, I'll end up looping back to home!" Gaon decided as he charged through a door…only to run back in, screaming as a herd of bulls chased him, "GYAH! No! Bad, cute fluffy bulls! Bad!" he ran out another door and slammed it shut behind him, "Phew…No stampede for me." he looked around at the abandoned degrading structure, "What the…?" he looked out the broken window and saw a rusted sign, "...Oh, I think I heard of this place. May need to ask Skye-san and Ayane-chan for a radiation detox later…" he jumped out the window and screamed as he fell out of the open door of an airplane, splashing down into the ocean below, "YIKES!"
"Nununu Magine… Nununu Magine…" Magine chanted, holding her crystal ball as she looked at the doors before her, "Which one…Which one to safety…?" she looked up and walked to the door on the left, "This one!" she rushed in only to be blinded by a dim light.
"And now the bride and groom," an announcer spoke as a pair of double doors opened and Magine walked in with her arms around the Bride's of a wedding ceremony.
"Nunu-Nu-nu~" she chanted to the music, only to realize, "Ah then the guy I shoulder tackled was…"
"Eh!?" the bride panicked, jumping away from Magine and leaving the bouquet in her hands, "KYAAAA~!"
"Eh? Eh? A wedding? …Ah!" Magine looked at the bouquet in her hands, "I'm next?!"
"It stands to reason I have to find a door back to Colorful eventually!" Vroon spoke, walking out into a magical field with a small hut in the distance…at least, that's how it looked to the screen showing the layering of a green screen Stage that Vroon walked right onto, "Wait…was that also a door I walked through?!" he asked, putting his face into the camera, "What nonsense!?" he began shaking it.
"Shwa~" Kaito cheered as his trio jumped out of an old blue police box and found themselves staring at London Bridge, "Ah! Are we overseas?! HELLO!" he waved to the locals.
"...Huh…" Roll looked at the police box.
"What's up?" Sonic asked.
"I feel like it should be bigger on the inside," Roll noted, tilting her head, "Or smaller on the outside?"
"Guys! Look!" Kaito cheered, taking a selfie with a Palace guardsmen, "This is so cool!"
"Ah! Kaito-nii!" Roll gawked.
"Bye!" Kaito waved to them as he grabbed his friends and ran into a random door and vanished again.
"Gah!" Juran yelped, exiting a door, "GAH! What is with this heat!? Wait…Pyramids! Sand! OH NO! MUMMIES!" He found himself in Egypt and immediately began scaring the locals with his freak out.
"Color are everywhere…okay~?" Tangle slurred, some cotton in her mouth as she staggered about in a loopy manner.
"Yes, yes," Whisper quietly assured, gently patting the lemur's hand that she was holding to help guide her as they stepped out a door and came out on a massive stone wall going far into the distance, "..." Blue spoke up, "Great Wall of China?"
"Ahh~ So long…" Tangle giggled a bit as she began to slink backwards…right onto her coiled up tail.
"Oh you are out of it…" Whisper muttered before turning her head as Juran yelped and stumbled out while holding a plate of curry.
"Ah…now where…?! Ah! Ojou-chan tachi!"
"Juran~!" Tangle waved from her resting spot, "Hey wassup buddie~?"
"...uh…"
"Dentist," Whisper clarified once Juran ran over, "Eight cavities, four in her wisdom teeth."
"It's no good…I keep ending up in fun…but places further and further from home…" he sighed, putting his food down, "But I got an idea and this is perfect!"
"Hmm?" Whisper tilted her head at that.
"Okay…Now where are we?" Kaito pondered as they came out of a pair of double doors.
"Looks like a college campus," Sonic noted, "Wait…is this Florida?" he ran off and came back with a sun hat, sunscreen on his nose, and a Chili-Dog, "Yep, it's Florida."
"Ah…we're running out of space for souvenirs…" Kaito sighed, "As it stands, Roll is weighed down by a couple kilo's worth…"
"Hopefully, we end up in Japan soon. I could stack them up in the small backyard," Roll noted as a window slid open, "Ah. Someone's coming in."
"I hope it's not another idiot bank robber. I'm running out of funny ways to pants them before tying them up," Sonic noted before a white Wisp with a tiny curl on its head floated through, mumbling with a nightcap on its head and a cup of water in its tentacles, "What the…?"
"Yacker-chan?" Roll asked.
"?" the Wisp blinked its single eyes a few times before splashing itself in the face with the cup, "?!" it shook its head before seeing Roll and Sonic, "! 5 N1C! R077!" it zipped over, blabbering happily as it floated around the two before settling into Roll's arms with a content noise.
"Yacker-chan!" Roll beamed, nuzzling the top of the Wisp's head, "Ohh~! I missed you so much!" she paused, "Wait…If you're here…Where's Nee-chan?" Yacker babbled, "Harvard?!"
"Huh…maybe our luck is changing," Kaito smiled.
"I'll say. Yacker was a major help back when Eggman had his space amusement park," Sonic noted, patting the Wisp, "So what've you been up to?"
Yacker babbled and Roll translated, "Sleeping. It's super early here, but I woke up thirsty, got a drink, then I'm here with all of you." she pulled her cellphone out, "...Do I even have coverage in the US?"
"No going off on your own to find a phone if you don't," Kaito spoke, quickly putting a hand on her shoulder, "You'll end up probably on another continent again."
"Plus, does she have a phone?" Sonic asked, earning a response from the Wisp.
"...Okay, I'll make sure to call her when I do have service then. Oh the charges are going to suck," Roll grimaced, writing the number down.
"Well at least we found her and Yacker," Kaito offered, "That's two more people checked off the search. One more to find at the moment."
"Hai!" Roll nodded.
"Ah angry gator!" Sonic yelped as a large Alligator chased him, "AH! Florida Man! He's real!"
"We really shouldn't let him use the internet by himself…" Roll looked at Kaito.
"Wha…no what's the worst that could happen from that?"
"...did…dude…" Sonic deadpanned as he slowly looked at Kaito.
"Gator…" they pointed at it and stopped to stare up at Sonic.
"...Counter point," Sonic began as he pointed at a set of bushes…just as more gators popped up growling in hunger.
"Running!" Kaito shouted as he and Roll left.
" !31?"
"Yup…always like this, little buddy," Sonic sighed as Yacker landed on his head before the hedgehog ran off just as a gator snapped at him.
=Gah! This is insane, tune! Everyone is scattered to the world's winds, tune!= Secchan panicked, =And I'm afraid to leave this room! What is even the plan here? This seems like chaos for the sake of a laugh, tune!?=
'Chaos for the sake of a laugh…' Clove thought, narrowing her eyes, 'That giant parrot…'
"Gege?" Barashitara muttered as he entered to find the giant robotic bird and several others watching the chaos, "I was hoping to have the place to myself…ah well…I guess you can enjoy the show."
"Nanda? I didn't think you'd be such a doting papa tank," Gege chuckled.
"Hah! For once…one of these little bastards is making me interested! That's all it is. I don't have hopes he can finish this fight, but…then again he is at least half me…but then again, the other half is human like his mother!" he laughed.
"Hmph. Relatable," Tundra nodded, "The kid's either gonna swim…or sink to the bottom of the Mariana Trench."
"Fathers of the year…" Lien-Da sighed.
"Besides, I just couldn't stand those nerds holding this over on us," Barashitara added, "Door World was meant to mess with Stacy's momentum…but seems his power is too effective for its own good. Those kids are scrambled all over this weird rock. Stacy has even returned to the den of nerds to plot something…well…given his antics with Zenkaiser, I expect them to clash…badly…hahahaha~!"
"Sounds like they're getting all rambunctious out there," Ijirude muttered, he and Eggman looking over the inner workings of the Geatozinger in their lab.
"How have you been able to handle that Barashitara and his kids?" Eggman asked, raising a brow.
"I tend to handle it like you do with those two," Ijirude gestured to Cubot and Orbot as the latter was trying to get the former to put the right blocks into the right hole..with little luck.
=Cubot, that goes in the square hole…not on your head= Orbot sighed.
=Aw, but we're both squares. At least, that's what Boss calls me= Cubot noted =Right, Boss?=
"Shut up, you square. I'm busy here," Eggman waved them off as he carefully removed a cable, part of it blackened, "Hmm…We need a thicker cable in this part to handle the power output of the giant robot summoning, especially multiple ones like he went and threw out."
"At least he had that platypus of yours to warn him. Otherwise, we'd be having to redo much more than a few semi-burnt wires," Ijirude noted.
"Ah, Starline. A fine recruit…when he isn't being an idiot and trying to blow up Sonic with a bomb…" Eggman growled.
"Oh? Didn't take that well?"
"Sonic is mine to destroy. It's not the job of some upstart like him," Eggman replied, the lighting of the room shadowing his face, leaving just his smile and glasses visible, "I could carpet bomb him any day! But that's not enough - it's not the point! I have to beat him! I have to prove that I am his superior!" he replaced another cable in the Geartozinger, "Remember this, Ijirude, there is a right way and a wrong way to vanquish someone you consider as your life-long nemesis…and Starline did it very, very wrong…"
"N-Noted…" Ijirude replied, his uncovered optic widening a bit in surprise.
The door to the bathroom slammed open and Mimic stumbled into the small area Starline had made a small 'camp' of sorts in the base, "Ugh…Took me ages to get those samples you wanted." he handed Starline two vials, filled with either some of Sonic's quills or Tails's fur, "Will admit…the cake that fox lady baked was worth dealing with two kids focused on video games…but the getting back here was the worst! What is going on with all the doors and windows?!"
"The prince's father thought it would be a fantastic idea to deploy a World," Starline replied as he put the samples at the sides of Roll's sample, "It's known as Door World and you've seen what it's done. Not even the base is safe from the problems it's causing. Fortunately, a simple solution was found: keep the doors open at all times or else you'll get teleported. I kept my bathroom closed just for you to get back here."
"Ah…So…what about the so-called prince? Where's he at?" Mimic asked.
"At the moment…breaking into the containment cells," Starline spoke.
"...What?"
"He had an idea of how to get the other Zenkaigers out of his way," Starline replied, "It was of no deeper concern to me. As long as we destroy Zenkaiser then the Zenkaigers' central lynch pin is dealt with. That much he can handle. Once the four Kikainoids are distracted, and the Mobians likewise taken off the board…Zenkaiser and StaCaesar…Surely that battle will end in his victory."
"Uh-huh…and if it flops?"
"Well, if there's one thing I've learned from my time spent both being around and from studying Dr. Eggman…" Starline gestured to the three samples and then to a set of three pods, two empty and one filled with a liquid hidden behind the tinted glass, "...it's that you always formulate a backup for your backups."
A desk cabinet rattled before opening up and Skye poked his head out of it. He looked around and his eyes widened, gazing upon the multitude of gear-like structures with a massive one rotating above. He grunted as he pulled himself through and stood up, writing the dust off his pants. He looked around, seeing he was on a large gear-shaped platform with a massive computer that was part of the desk he had just came out of. He tensed as he heard the sound of a lock being undone and ran around to behind the computer as a nearby closed gate slid open and Stacy walked in, dragging Door World behind him by his knocker.
"Ah…Ah…Domo! D-Domo-domo-domo!" Door World panicked.
"Seems keeping a hold of you prevents the random movement," Stacy noted, releasing Door World as he walked towards the computer.
"Ah…D-Did we have to come in here, sir, door?" Door World asked, nervously looking around, "This place always gives me the creeps! Domo!"
"This is where we keep all information on prisoners from Kikaitopia, as well as the humans and Mobians who were trapped in our world when the merger began with the few Eggman's operation obtained," Stacy spoke, "I can't help but shake the feeling that I've seen that fox one before while I strolled through here." he explained, typing on the computer, "If I'm right…" he stopped, "There…they look alike."
"Do you mean the very cur-Gah!" Stacy smacked his fist into the World's face.
"Idiot…" he shook his head, "If that's all you can pick up, then yes…they share a body type…What I meant was features like bone structure, eyes, fur color…"
"Wha…what's the point then, domo?"
"What I want is to fight Zenkaiser… The more I fought him, the more what he said ticked me off," he groaned, "I plan to distract the rest of the Zenkaigers so I can face him alone this time. And you are going to help me."
"I am?" he pointed at himself.
"I work with Ijirude and Eggman, that means I outrank you in every way, from actual rank…to power," Stacy declared, "So I'm not asking…" he leaned forward with a glare, "I'm telling…"
"H-Hai, sir…" Door World gulped, sweating oil as he saluted, "Your orders, door?"
"Collect that woman and bring her to the location I will specify. Then use your power to bring Zenkaiser there," Stacy explained.
"Eh?!" Door World gasped.
"Are you going against your orders?"
"N-No, sir!" Door World replied, saluting again.
"Good," Stacy nodded as he typed a few commands into the computer and a gear nearby opened, allowing a sleek gunmetal pod to float over to them, "Open it."
"Hai! Door to Door!" Door World summoned a large door before them, "Are you sure this is a sound plan?"
"I don't care what happens to them," Stacy replied, "Destroying Zenkaiser before Barashitara…is my first step toward revenge against him. I will make that bastard pay his pound of metal for what he did to my Mother. Then…I will crush him entirely. After that…I don't give a care. The world can burn and rot for all it counts."
Door World gulped as he opened the door for Stacy. The pod lifted up into the air and the two walked through, the pod following behind with Skye holding on to the underside. The door closed once the pod was through and vanished.
"UWAH!" Kaito, Sonic, and Roll yelped as they fell out of a digging crane's booth and landed in a pile.
"Roll…you're…crushing us…" Sonic groaned, Yacker floating out and closing the door behind them.
"...Did you just imply I'm fat?"
"Souveniers…" Kaito muffled out beneath the two.
"Oh!" Roll gasped before hopping off them, revealing her to be covered in various souvenirs like the other two were, "Gomen nassai."
"You forget just how much you can carry…" Kaito grunted, "That's what made you heavy…"
"Normally you're really light…" Sonic added as they got up.
"Well…we have been getting a lot of souvenirs," Roll admitted as Yacker looked around the riverside they were at.
"So where do you think we are now?" Kaito asked, a lot of masks and hats on strings littering his upper body, "Is it Japan? Are we anywhere close to home?"
"I can check," Sonic offered as he ran off for a moment before coming back, "Yep! We're back in Japan. Home's thataway," he jabbed a thumb behind him, "About two hundred miles there."
"Yokatta…That means I can call Nee-chan," Roll noted before Yacker spoke up, "Oh. Right, right. Shouldn't call until I know she's awake. Never wake a sleeping Sakurai, after all."
"Seriously?" Sonic asked.
"You know what happened the last time you woke me up, Sonic-san," Roll pointed out.
"...Touche."
"Well Sonic can't carry us, so I guess Roll and I will just have to hitch a ride on someone's truck…since we can't get inside a car," Kaito offered.
"Wait, can't you just run, Roll?"
"I'm weighed down too much to go full speed and I am carrying some fragile things that our speed would break," Roll replied.
"Once more Touche, fair ninja lady," Sonic chuckled, "Alright, let's hoof it." he began walking, only to yelp when gunshots began peppering the ground, making Sonic dance around to avoid them.
"Ah!" Kaito pointed as Stacy walked over, lowering the Geartozinger.
"Finally, Zenkaiser." Stacy spoke, "This time Barashitara won't get in our way, or anyone else."
"Uh…hello?" Sonic spoke as he motioned to himself and Roll, "What are we? Chopped liver?"
"You'll stay out of it if you wish for the release of someone she may know," Stacy replied as he pointed across the river…where Door World was standing beside the floating container.
"And to prove it, door!" Door World motioned to the container.
It rotated to have the top face them. He tapped it with his key arm and it let out a small unlocking noise. Steam escaped from the opening before part of it slid down and Roll and Kaito gasped. Looking as if they were sleeping peacefully inside of it was an older platinum blonde fox Mobian wearing a magenta toga that did little to hide her curves. He tapped the case once more and it closed.
"Kaa-chan!" Roll gasped before glaring at Stacy, "So you did have her!"
"If you want her back, fight him for her," Stacy replied, "Zenkaiser is mine."
"Eh?" Kaito looked back and forth at the situation, "All this to fight me?"
"Yeah…given the situation…most bad guys would order us to give up…" Sonic pointed out.
"I don't want your surrender…I want to destroy you," Stacy argued, "Whatever happens to the others…is not my concern." he walked up to Kaito, "I said it wasn't personal…but for some reason…I just don't like you."
"Well…that's one way to be blunt…I wasn't hoping to be friends…but I think I liked it better when it wasn't personal." Kaito muttered, "You've been really angry since Barashitara showed up…and he went out of his way to bring Door World to help you…"
"Don't you dare misunderstand what he's doing!" Stacy shouted, "I will never see that monster as family…not after all he put my mother through…because of him she's gone," he grabbed Kaito by his jacket and pulled him close to glare at him, "To him this is just a game. Get it through your thick stupid skull…he and I are not family…" he shoved him back and to the ground, "You said you fought to get back your parents?"
"Yeah, I do," Kaito replied.
"What, did the Tojitendo take them?" Stacy asked, "If that's the case, you'll be lucky if they're lying dead in a ditch somewhere." he spoke with a scowl, "Just like my mother!" he suddenly kicked Kaito knocking him over once more, "No…the opposite possibility also exists. Maybe they weren't kidnapped…maybe they just abandoned you. Like Barashitara did to me…and all my other half siblings…"
"My Tou-chan and Kaa-chan would never do that!" Kaito declared.
"And what makes you so sure about that?" Stacy demanded.
"I…" Kaito took a moment, "I have Zenryoku Zenkai Faith in them!" he smiled.
"Hah…" Stacy nodded, "Now I'm sure of it…I despise you…and everything you believe in." he glared as his eyes began glowing purple, "People like you who are ignorant of the suffering of others…and talk about such dreams like you're special..." he pulled out his transformation Gear, "...are the kind I despise most of all." he slotted and cranked his Geartozinger, "Ankoku Change."
"Change Zenkai." Kaito lifted his Geartlinger.
=̧̀JA~BĄ͝N̢͝͠!͠ ̵S̕͟T̕À̧͘C̴̕A̡̕͞ES̀̀̕AR̸!=̢
=YON-JU-GO BANG! ZENKAISER!=
"Change Zenkai!" Roll declared as she ran across the stream.
=ZENKAI~KURENAI!=
"?!" Yacker's eye bulged out in shock, rapidly gesturing between her and Sonic while babbling in shock.
"Uh…Yeah…A lot has happened since we last saw each other," Sonic sheepishly noted.
"&65d5w?"
"Hah!" Zenkaiser and StaCaesar shouted while swinging at one another, their arms crossing, only for the Tojitendo warrior to swing Zenkaiser around and to the ground.
The white ranger rolled along the ground as he aimed up and shot at StaCaesar who ducked out of the way. The two jumped into the air while shooting, sparks exploding off the ground from missing. Upon landing, both charged only for StaCaesar to land a powerful punch to Zenkaiser's chest and send him stumbling back. Zenkaiser grunted as he flipped to his feet, he aimed and began shooting at StaCaesar who ran to avoid the barrage of energy bullets. The Tojitendo warrior jumped into the air and swung his body around to aim at Zenkaiser as the two shot at one another causing sparks to fly.
"My oh my, he's really going at it, good thing I'm just watching, this is so intense!" Door World awed, "I still wonder why this lady is so important though, or why Zenkaiser seems to upset Stacy-sama so much…" he scratched his giant door shaped head. He then yelped when a crimson blur dashed past and slashed him, "DOMO!?"
"Release my Kaa-chan at once!" Zenkai Kurenai demanded, brandishing her Geartlasher at Door World.
"Better do it, man! She is extremely overprotective of her family!" Sonic warned…a bag of popcorn in his hand.
"Why are you eating popcorn?!"
"Because I don't wanna die getting between her and you," Sonic replied.
"Free her!" Kurenai demanded once more.
"Mou…what more can I do? the pod has been disconnected and disabled…she's just sleeping…" he pointed out, making the two Zenkaigers blink, "Stacy totally disabled it…it's not even transmitting any signal so command can't track it…far as they know, you two ran offscreen to do something else."
"Eh?" they blinked.
"Frankly, she should have woken up a while ago…I think she's just legitimately comfortable in there…" he groaned, before tensing as he swung around to knock Kurenai's sword away, "I told you what you wanted…now we fight Zenkaigers! I want things to be normal, domo!"
"Wait, Roll! Maybe it's a good thing she doesn't get out! Remember his power! If she gets out of the pod…poof!" Sonic realized, "She'll end up halfway across the globe! We need to beat him first!"
"Ah mou~!" Kurenai groaned, "Then get in here and tag team, please!"
"Phrasing~" Sonic giggled as Yacker blushed.
"Please just fight like normal! I'm overwhelmed with drama and intensity, domo!" Door World complained, "This family drama is too much for me, please…I meant no disrespect, scary ninja lady!"
"Disrespect has been made!" Kurenai declared, inserting a gear into her sword and spinning it.
=RYU~SOULGER!=
=Kyo! Ryu! Soul! Soul! Kono Kanji! MeraMera!=
"Now I make kindling out of your namesake…" Kurenai growled, dual wielding her Geartlasher and the Ryusoul Ken.
"AHH! NOT THAT!" Door World panicked, stumbling back only to be tripped over by Zenkai Cobalt doing a leg sweep as he dashed by, "YIPE!"
"Should I be concerned?" Cobalt asked.
"No. He wants a fight so he's getting one," Kurenai replied.
"Oh…no not him, I mean you and your temper," Cobalt argued, making her pause and turn to him, "I mean you're cute when you're pouty…but…you are prone to making goofs when just plain angry." he put his hand on his hips, "Hmm? Do I need to remind you of last time?" he taunted, Yacker floating over and copying him, "Yeah that's right, Yack. Give her the look of shame."
Cobalt then swung his leg up and hit Door World before he swung his Geartlasher and struck him once across the chest before spinning around for a wide roundhouse that knocked him away. As he landed both feet on the ground, he leaned back with his arms crossed over his chest to keep staring at Kurenai.
"Well…we need to hear you say it~" he laughed as he suddenly stood up straight before he flipped forward and slashed Door World down the middle, making sparks fly. "I'm already worried about Kaito. Don't make me the mature one here. You need to be. Your mom is right here, but Kaito is the one in trouble." he spoke up with a sigh, "He's fighting someone who's like a dark version of himself…if Kaito didn't have Yatchan or even you and your family…that could be what Kaito turned into…"
"..." Kurenai slumped, "You're right…I need to schedule a session with Nee-chan for this later."
"Well…here's how I see it: sooner we blow him up, sooner we can get your mom out of here, and you can hug her 'till your arms give out?" Cobalt scratched his helmet, "And then Kaito and I can tell on you for being so cranky~" he teased.
"Mmm…You make a good argument," Kurenai replied before spinning around and delivering two slashes with her blades, the Ryusoul Ken engulfed in flames and seeing the World on fire.
"AH! OOH! ATSUI~!" Door World panicked as he ran around.
"It's over there!" both pointed at the river, Kurenai losing her Ryusoulger armor.
"DIVE!" Door World screamed as he jumped at the river…only for the two to appear and deliver a diagonal slash, "UWAH!"
"Looks like you ain't very good at fighting, so that makes this easy!" Cobalt cheered as he began cranking his Geartlasher, "I thank you for the fun party though. I got to see lots of the world I couldn't 'cause of the ocean getting in the way; so for that you have my thanks, weird Door man monster~"
"That much was oddly fun," Kurenai agreed, cranking her Geartlasher as well.
"We should go on more adventures like that!" Cobalt spoke, "Let's rain check this talk. I think it be fun~"
"Hai~!" Kurenai beamed.
=HERO~! SUPER ZENKAI TIME~!=
"Well as the saying goes when one door closes…another opens!" Door World cried out as they both ran past him while swinging, "DOOR!-!-!" at that, he stumbled forward and fell into the water before exploding.
StaCaesar grunted as he jumped away from Zenkaiser and swung his hand out to catch the Tojiru Gear. He flipped it up before catching it again and hiding it on his person.
"You're keeping it?" Zenkaiser asked.
"It still has its use to me," he replied simply. He then rushed and began trading blows with him again, "But just so your friends don't get any funny ideas…" he swung around and cranked the Geartozinger before aiming at Cobalt and Kurenai, "Keep them busy!"
=M̵̀͜A̵̡SK͢͜͞~͝MAN! ͡͠F̨IV͝E̶̡͢~̸M̵͞AN!̢͢͞=͘
At that, two clone Teams of the Hikari Sentai Maskman and Chikyu Sentai Fiveman formed in front of Kurenai and Cobalt's path back towards Zenkaiser. The clones struck their poses before rushing them, making the two Mobians yipe at the numbers disadvantage.
"Hey hey! This…is not cool!" Cobalt grunted as RedMask clashed swords with him, "Why do we each get a whole team to fight!?"
"He really doesn't want us getting involved!" Kurenai grunted, blocking a swing from FiveRed, "Why are Reds always the amazing swordsmen?" she then yelped when FiveYellow tied her up in a ribbon and swung her around.
"Roll?!" Cobalt asked only to grunt when MaskBlack and Blue slammed him in the stomach…before unleashing a burst of aura power that launched him back and across the ground, "WHOA! What was that?!"
=Ah! Finally you're back an-GAH! Fiveman and Maskman!? Danger, tune!= Secchan panicked =The Maskman team have amazing Aura power, letting five normal humans do feats of superhuman power, tune! And the Fiveman are a team of five siblings, tune! Their teamwork skill is unmatched along with all five being incredibly bright educators!=
"F-Five siblings!?" Cobalt gawked as Kurenai landed next to him, "Their mom and dad needed a hobby!" he then yelped when RedMask jumped into the air and aimed a glowing punch at them.
=Don't let that attack hit you, tune! It's RedMask's God Hand attack! It's a devastatingly powerful Finisher attack, tune!=
"AH!" the two panicked as his punch hit the ground where they stood, causing it to explode.
"Why is it that the older the sentai…the more extreme they are!?" Cobalt demanded.
=Less overprotective parents, tune=
"Eh?" both pondered.
=INCOMING!=
"Gah!" both yelped, quickly running back to avoid the attacks of RedMask and FiveRed.
"Okay, if they wanna be nostalgic, let's give 'em nostalgia!" Cobalt declared as he pulled out a Sentai Gear and quickly used it.
=GO~RENGER!=
With that, the transparent images of the first Super Sentai appeared. The five nodded before hopping into the duo with Kirenger hopping into a confused Yacker. Kurenai spun around and held up what looked like a multicolored football with small stand attachments glue to it.
"Zenkai Hurricane!" Cobalt shouted, "Go!" he ran off.
"Yacker, pass!" Kurenai called out, tossing the ball to him.
"S4 O7!" Yacker cheered, catching the ball before spinning like a top and throwing it over the summoned Sentai where Cobalt caught it.
"Yosha! Back to ya, Kurenai!" Cobalt whooped, tucking the ball under his arm and charging through the ten fake Rangers like he was an American football player, bowling over several of them before skidding to a halt to toss the ball back to Kurenai.
"Ready for launch," Kurenai informed, getting down on a knee and setting the ball for Cobalt to kick.
"End Ball!" Cobalt shouted as he jumped into the air and extended his leg out as he kicked the ball with a flying sidekick, sending it flying at the Cloned Sentai Senshi, the ball spinning as it flew through the air.
=Ah! That's the Gorenger Hurricane, tune!= Secchan gawked =When used, it creates the anathema to whomever it's shot at!=
=How does that work on two Sentai teams?= Cassia asked.
=I don't know, tune! It'd probably just turn into whatever Sonic was imagining at the moment he kicked the End Ball, tune!=
"Wait…what I was thinking of?" Cobalt blinked as the ball seemed to flicker back and forth before turning into a massive chili-dog that split into five copies that all struck the Maskman right in the helmet and knocked them over, causing them to disappear into smoke, "Ah…I guess I'm hungry~"
=Well…I guess the Maskman are very health conscious, so that sort of counts…tune…=
=That's one team down= Clove noted.
"One down, one to go!" Kurenai cheered, Yacker clapping happily with a cheer.
=W-Wait…Yacker-chan?!= Ayane asked.
"Hai! We found him and Nee-chan is at Harvard!" Kurenai replied.
=Uso…= Ayane gawked.
"We need to invest in some method of instant messaging so we can keep everyone up to date," Cobalt sighed.
"Or upgrade our phone plans," Kurenai agreed before yelping as the Fiveman jumped at them.
"Ah! H-Hey, any chance you got to study Whisper's wis-thingamabob?" Cobalt asked.
=N-no…I'm not allowed…= Ayane grumbled.
"Your dad is a good guy, but seriously?" Cobalt groaned, "Was hoping Yacker could give a boost."
=Isn't he just a White Wisp that only make you faster for short bursts if I remember what Tails told us, tune?= Secchan asked before Kurenai and Ayane giggled =Oh what now?!=
"Guess Yacker-chan was really drained back then when Tails-chan and Sonic-san met him, ne?" Kurenai asked, ducking under a lariat before jumping over a tackle.
"Could we save the teasing for after?!" Cobalt grunted blocking FiveRed and Pink's sword attacks before yelping when Yellow grabbed him in a ribbon, "Oh…no…" he realized what was next as the other four all rushed him, "AH!"
"Yacker-chan, Laser!" Kurenai pointed at Cobalt.
Yacker saluted before zipping over to Cobalt. His body glowed before he turned cyan and zipped into Cobalt's back. Cyan shards of 'data' appeared around him before the five were upon him…before being knocked away as a cyan laser shot about, bouncing off all five of them with the front of the laser resembling Cobalt's helmet. It shot down to beside Kurenai before changing into Cobalt as Yacker popped out of him.
"What the…?! When could you do that?!" Cobalt gawked, looking at the giggling Wisp.
"We thought it was something all Wisps could do," Kurenai explained as she caught Yacker and patted his head, "But after meeting Wisper-chan's, guess not."
"Sugei! That's totally a World First!" Zenkaiser cheered as he and StaCaesar struggled to try and keep the other from aiming and shooting the other.
"Interesting…" StaCaesar muttered, kicking Zenkaiser away.
"But we still have a numbers issue…" Zenkaiser grunted as the Sentai Clones regrouped, he then blinked looking up, "Clouds…AH!" he jumped back next to Kurenai and Cobalt just as a pair of giant robotic feet stomped on the Fiveman clones, making them poof away in smoke.
"WE MADE IT!" Zenkai Juran cheered as Zenkai Gaon and Vroon flanked him with Magine floating on her Magine Stick; after a moment, Juran's chest opened at the jaw as Topaz and Onyx jumped out.
"Kaito! Minna! We're home!" Zenkai Gaon cheered.
"Sorry for the wait!" Zenkai Magine waved.
"Ah…Did we step on something?" Zenkai Vroon pondered.
"Guys~!" Topaz cheered as Kurenai caught her while Onyx floated down on her Wispon powered by Green, "Oh man! That sure was nuts, huh?"
"Juran needs to brush his teeth more…" Onyx quietly admitted as her Wisps came out and froze on seeing Yacker.
"No. No freak outs," Cobalt ordered the Wisps, "Freak out after everything's done."
=How did all of you get back here?= Clove asked in surprise.
"Ah. That was simple enough. If doors were making us go all over…then we had to just not use any doors," Zenkai Vroon explained.
"We all walked back!" Zenkai Gaon beamed.
"Um…I flew, actually…" Zenkai Magine admitted.
"Aw~I missed the chance for two more World's First achievements!" Zenkaiser noted in amusement.
"...Two?" Topaz repeated.
"Ah. Walking across the world to get home on a giant…and walking across the world to get home while riding inside of a giant's mouth," Zenkaiser replied.
"It took a lot to get Tangle in there…" Onyx spoke, Cyan and Pink rolling their eyes in exasperation at the memory, "It wasn't pretty…"
"Blue is a very good hugger," Topaz admitted, petting the blushing blue Wisp, "I think Haseo's been teaching Blue how to be a good hugger."
"Sugoi, Tangle-chan, you're making small steps towards conquering your fear!" Zenkaiser chuckled, "Now if we could get started with Roll-nee and…"
"Never going to happen," Kurenai shuddered, "They're evil."
"You say that…but we will get you to stop throwing ninja weapons at toys one day," Cobalt chuckled.
"I feel like…AH! Handsome evil dude!" Topaz pointed at StaCaesar, who just waited for them to finish.
"...Hey, Kaito," Cobalt noted, "I betcha no one's done a First Role call of both small and giant Rangers."
"Yosh!" Zenkaiser cheered, "Minna! Let's do it!" he jumped into the air and landed on a bridge overlooking their battlefield.
"Wait for us!" the giant Kikainoid Zenkaigers cheered as they rushed around behind the bridge as the other five all stood on it.
"Himitsu no power! Zenkaiser!"
"Kyoryu Power! Zenkai Juran!"
"Hyakuju Power! Zenkai Gaon!"
"Mahou Power! Zenkai Magine!"
"GoGo Power! Zenkai Vroon!"
"Ninja Power! Zenkai Kurenai!"
"Engine Power! Zenkai Cobalt!"
"Juken Power! Zenkai Topaz!"
"Tokumei Power…Zenkai Onyx!"
"Kyu-nin Sorotte!" Zenkaiser held up nine fingers before all of them struck a pose, "Kikai Sentai.."
"ZENKAIGER!" they all shouted as their team symbol formed behind the giant Zenkaigers.
"Kudaitest!" StaCaesar called out.
"Oyobi Desu Ka!?"
At that, StaCaesar tossed the Tojiru Gear for Doortopia into the Kudaitest's chest, making him rapidly evolve into Great Door World.
"Door! Door! OPEN THE DOOR!" he cheered, summoning multiple giant doors around the area.
"Don't think we're done here!" StaCaesar cranked his Geartozinger as he aimed up and fired.
=̴GE̡͟K̨Į͘͜-RR̀͢RANGER̸̢!̵̷͝ ͏̛͘GO-҉͠S̨EIGĘ̴R!=҉
=Gyaaah~! Jyuken Gattai Gekitohja and Tensou Gattai Gosei Great, tune?!= Secchan panicked as the two mechs formed.
"Hey, he looks like TopazTohja," Topaz noted.
"Duh…you're modeled after their Sentai…" Cobalt pointed out sarcastically before shouting up to the Kikainoid members, "You guys handle Great Door World and we'll deal with these two fake Sentai Mechs!"
"Eh? You and me?" Topaz blinked.
"Well Kaito needs at least some back up. StaCaesar is no joke," he chuckled.
"Leave it to Onyx-chan and I," Kurenai assured, summoning her copy, "You know what to do, Me."
"Hai~!" Roll saluted cutely.
"...?" Yacker tilted his head before shrugging and simply settling on Roll's head before she ran off.
"Yosh, minna Zenkai Gattai!" Zenkaiser shouted, flipping his Transformation Gear and aiming at his Kikainoid companions.
"Kikai Henkei!" they shouted transforming into their Alternate Modes, before pairing off for their primary ZenkaiOh combinations.
"Konnichiwa~!" Roll greeted the camera gears, "Watashi wa Roll desu~! Welcome to another Giant Robo Battle!" she sheepishly rubbed the back of her head, "Two in a single day is always so much fun~!" she spun around, "First is the King of a Hundred Dinosaurs!"
=ZENKAIOH~ JURA~GAON!=
"And then the King of Adeventurous Dragons!"
=ZENKAIOH~ VROO~MAGINE!=
"We're joining the fun too!" Topaz cheered as she and Cobalt flipped the transformation Gears.
"Oh! And today we've got returning giants, TopazTohja and SonicBoy!" Roll beamed, her tail wagging, "Ah~! I love variety in a giant robot battle~!" she pouted at the screen, "But I don't like it when bad guys figure out how to summon copies of good giant robots to fight for them." she waved her arms out, "On the Tojitendo's side, we have Great Door World-which was the reason you lovely viewers have been having issues with going through doorways, windows, or any entry that you open, really-and the summoned Tensou Gattai Gosei Great and Jyuken Gattai GekiTohja! Let's begin~!" Yacker held up a gong and mallet before banging it, "Best Wisp in the world!"
"Key to victory right here!" Great Door World declared, patting his key limb.
"I am really tired of doors!" Gaon shouted as ZenkaiOh Juragaon rushed forward.
The two clashed with sword and key/gun. But Great Door World jumped back and into one of the giant doors. They looked around before Great Door World appeared to ZenkaiOh JuraGaon's left and shot him with a barrage of bullets. He giggled before going back in and closing the door. ZenkaiOh VrooMagine opened the door…but nothing just the other side of their battlefield. Another door opened as Great Door World jumped out, and unleashed missiles from the mailslot of his door shaped face which bombarded both ZenkaiOh's. Great Door World laughed appearing from another door, he swung his key around and made all the doors begin moving around.
"Door of Spears!" a door stopped behind ZenkaiOh JuraGaon before opening as countless spears ejected out and struck the Combined Mecha in the back making it stumble forward, "Door of Jabs!" a door stopped next to ZenkaiOh VrooMagine before opening as countless boxing gloves attached to poles began shooting out and socking the Gattai and knocking it over on its side.
"Hwachaa~!" TopazTohja shouted as she performed a flying side-kick at GekiTohja, who blocked with a three-section staff made of its components' tails, "Oh…You…You do that, too, huh?" she yelped as she was thrown away by GekiTohja, "Whoa now!"
"Gotta catch me~!" Sonic Boy taunted as he rolled around in Wheel Form, dodging the flying heads fired by Gosei Great from its arms and legs, "You guys seriously fire your heads at me? Guess I'm ahead of your tactics then!" he switched to Warrior Mode and quickly brought his shields up to slap away the oncoming shark and snake heads that tried to bite him before jumping over the tiger head and stomped on the phoenix head, allowing him to jump and deliver a punch to Gosei Great, making it take a step back before pulling off a roundhouse kick, knocking the mech over, "Oh come on. Don't lose your heads over this!"
"Things are tense! These enemies are keeping the Heroes on defense for the most part," Roll narrated as the ZenkaiOh's finally got back to their feet.
"I'm getting real sick of doors and doors…" Juran growled.
"I fully agree!" Vroon huffed.
"You think you've seen it all, behold my ultimate Door to Door…Door Open…Kyodai Kudakk's!" at that, a door opened and a group of now giant Kudakks ran out and surrounded the ZenkaiOh's.
"Eh?! G-Giant Kudakks?!" Roll gasped, "I thought only Kudaitests could get that big!"
"Oi, oi! How did you guys get so big?!" Juran demanded.
"When I use Door to Door, anything small that comes out through my doors…comes out giant!" Great Door World laughed as the Kudakks began to charge, "And vice versa should any of you fall through them!"
"Oh! Those are tricky doors!" Zenkaiser noted before backflipping to avoid a shot from StaCaesar.
"Your fight is with me!" StaCaesar declared as he inserted another Dark Gear into his gun and aimed it at the charging Kurenai and Onyx, "And these are for you."
=̀F͢͠L̸̀͝LL̡͘͢Á͞S̶͜H~MA̛N͜͝!̨͝͠=
"Flashman?" Kurenai repeated as she and Onyx quickly stood back-to-back as they were surrounded by the summoned Sentai.
"Another Fake Sentai?" Zenkaiser grunted.
"I only need them to be real enough to hurt!" StaCaesar grunted as he kicked Zenkaiser.
"Oh my! Great Door World is truly using his namesake to great effect!" Roll gasped before yelping as she saw Gosei Great fly overhead, holding Sonic Boy in Wheel Mode, "Eh?! How did that happen?!"
"Gah! Lemme go, you weird head-swapper you!" Sonic Boy demanded, the tiger and snake heads acting as the hands for Gosei Great before they fired with Sonic Boy attached, letting him be used as a weapon on TopazTohja as she jumped over a leg sweep, knocking them both to the ground, "Ugh…Sorry."
"You're heavy…" TopazTohja groaned.
"This is starting to get old…Hmm…I got an idea, oi Sonic!" Juran called out as ZenkaiOh JuraGaon ran over and picked Sonic Boy up, "Let's trade dance partners!"
With that, ZenkaiOh JuraGaon spun around and tossed Sonic Boy as he rolled into the Kudakks, sending them flying through the air. Geat Door World panicked, jumping aside as Sonic Boy went into a door…before he began forcing his way through each and every single one, picking up more and more speed as he did. Great Door World turned frantically as he began losing track, before the door behind him forced open and Sonic Boy slammed into his back, sending him falling to the ground.
"OW! How did…!"
"Uh hello? Fastest thing alive?" Sonicboy retorted as he hopped in place, "If anything, your little advantage ended up becoming a disadvantage when it comes to me!"
"GAH! WHY DIDN'T I REALIZE THAT WHEN I PICKED DOORTOPIA?!"Barashitara snapped as he began bashing a Kudakk in the head.
"I try to tell him. I try to tell him to never underestimate the hedgehog," Eggman shook his head, "But the only one who listens is you, Ijirude."
"That's because despite being made of metal, he's a meathead," Ijirude deadpanned.
"I can and will hurt you…!" Barashitara snarled as he snapped his head towards the two, the Kudakk falling to the floor with its head literally stuck in its body.
"Sugoi! Sonic Boy is too much for Great Door World to handle!" Roll cheered, "Oh! VrooMagine's heading for GekiTohja while it's giving TopazTohja a noogie!"
"Ah! Ooh! Owie! This is Jan's influence, isn't it!?" TopaTohja demanded.
"Hey back off! Nu Nu Nu Magine Wash Bin!"
At that, a giant metallic Wash Bin fell from the sky on GekiTohja's head. Followed thereafter by several more until it formed a tall stack of them. After a long second of pause, the Copy Mecha stumbled back and away from TopazTohja, releasing her from its grip.
"Freedom!" she cheered, standing next to ZenkaiOh VrooMagine, "Trade?"
"Leave it to us! Thankfully, we are much more long range adapt! Perfect for a full close range combat type!" Vroon cheered, "Unleash your fury upon the giant Kudakks!"
"CAN DO!" TopazTohjah declared as the mech bolted right towards the incoming Kudakks, "RAWR! Face my lemur rage, you zowazowa!"
With that, TopazTohja rushed and began striking all the Kudakks, knocking them to the ground. She swung around to kick the lance of one, making it strike its own comrade to its left. As the Kudakk looked down in concern, it turned around only to get punched in the face, making a few of its keyboard teeth go flying.
"Ooh…Hope, if it isn't destroyed, that it has good dental insurance," Roll cringed.
"Nope!" Gaon declared as JuraGaon used their shield to block the oncoming dragon head fired from Gosei Great's torso.
"Return to sender!" Juran declared as they used the flat of their sword to send the head back at Gosei Great, knocking it over upon impact.
ZenkaiOh JuraGaon rushed and clashed blades with Gosei Great before slamming its shield into its chest, knocking the Copy Sentai Mecha back. Gosei Great swung its sword only for it to be blocked and caught on the Gaon Claws. ZenkaiOh JuraGaon twisted its arm and ripped the sword out of Gosei Great's hands before taking it for itself. ZenkaiOh JuraGaon swung the sword and slashed Gosei Great, making it stumble and fall back. ZenkaiOh JuraGaon pulled out the Juran Sword and swung both blades, striking Gosei Great and making it stumble back again as it fell over. The Zenkaiger Gattai spun around and swung the swords as it knocked the Gosei Headers out of the air as they tried to sneak up on him from behind.
In another part of the area, GekiTohja charged at VrooMagine, only for the Zenkaiger Gattai to fly up into the air, dodging the sliding kick it was going for. They hefted up the Vroon Pick and unleashed a barrage of shots from it, forcing GekiTohja to run, roll, and jump to dodge the shots.
"Nu nu nu…Giga Slick!"
As GekiTohja ran, it didn't see a part of the ground and trees glow before turning into a large puddle of liquid soap. It landed and ended up tripping, sending it onto its back and was slammed with several shots from the Vroon Pick.
"Uso!?" Great Door World gasped, "Stacy-sama, we need more robots!"
"Hah!" StaCaesar ignored him as he traded swings back and forth with Zenkaiser, "I have no time for your nonsense…" he growled as he flipped away from Zenkaiser before aiming and shooting.
"Not…gh…much teamwork huh!?" Zenkaiser grunted, shooting back as the two chose to use single action to shoot back and forth this time.
"I don't have a team. Worlds are just tools used by others."
"Ah! Y-You don't have to be so mean…" Great Door World sniffled before Sonic Boy rolled by, "GH?!" he yelped as he grabbed his flattened foot, "Ah! Ooh! Gah! My toes! He ran over my toes!"
"Hey, buddy! Knock-knock!" Sonic Boy called.
"Hm? Who's knocking?"
"Shield."
"Shield? Shield who?" Great Door World asked, looking around before Sonic Boy slammed his shields into the Kudaitest, knocking him at one of his doors.
"Shield Bash," Sonic Boy chuckled, "Oh, and uh…isn't that your spear door you just knocked on?"
"H-Huh?" Great Door World asked as the door opened…and the spears shot out and hit his rear, "GH?! EEEYOW!"
"KICK!" TopazTohja roared, jumping up and performing a backflip to kick the last of the giant Kudakks at Great Door World, making it explode and send the Kudaitest into Gosei Great and GekiTohja.
"Yosha! All together!" Juran ordered as the quartet regrouped.
"Oh! A four mech hissatsu! And this time on our side instead of theirs!" Roll cheered.
Sonic Boy turned into Wheel Form as he began to spin in place. Red, yellow, blue, and pink energy came off the two ZenkaiOh mechs before the Gaon Claws and Vroon Pick snapped into place on the sides of Sonic Boy. Topaz energy flared off TopazTohja before going into her reeled back right leg.
"Zenkai Kyodai Ranger Ball!" the ZenkaiOhs shouted.
"Go!" TopazTohja shouted, kicking Sonic Boy as he shot forward with a sonic boom before homing in and hitting Gosei Great, bouncing off, and flying into GekiTohja, once more bouncing off, and aiming and slamming into and through Great Door World.
"Domo~! D-Don't forget to lock your doors when you leave the house!" Great Door World screamed as the three collapsed and exploded.
"Yosha! Three in one!" Roll cheered, clapping excitedly as Yacker cheered with a large (for a Wisp) flag in his tentacles.
"YATTA!" Zenkaiser cheered, uppercutting StaCaesar away by pure accident, "Sekai Zenkai! All okay~!"
"That's nice and all…but we could use some help please!" Kurenai called as she and Onyx dodged several attacks at them.
=Use flashy against flashy, tune! Try out the Mashin Sentai Kirameiger gear, tune!= Secchan ordered.
"Understood," Onyx replied, pulling out the gear and slotting it into her blade.
=YON-JU YON ZAN~! KIRA~MEIGER!=
The transparent summons of the Kirameigers appeared before nodding at one another before hopping into the two girls.
"Hmm?" Onyx blinked as a gun was summoned to her hands while a sword was in Kurenai's, "You have to load this?" she blinked, looking it over.
"Oh! Kirameki~!" Kurenai exclaimed before pointing at the gun, "Yacker-chan! Yellow!"
"! ! !" Yacker saluted flying right over to her as he changed into a yellow-drill themed Wisp, "DRILL!" he shouted as he flew into the gun..
"Hmm…" Onyx loaded in several disk shaped-items into the gun before pulling on the tab that acted as the gun's hammer. She aimed before shooting a large energy disk bullet before she spun around and shot another, the bullets bouncing off the ground and hitting Pink and Yellow Flash; she fired more, letting two bounce off the ground before she shot a third bullet that bounced the two into Pink and Yellow, causing them to explode.
"Ikuze!" Kurenai declared, becoming a sparkling blur as she raced around, striking Blue and Green Flash repeatedly until stopping between the two, "Mmm…Oh!" she ran around the two, dragging her sword in the ground until she stopped, "Don't look down now." the two looked down to see 'Incoming Slash.' They looked up as Kurenai slashed them both with the blade as it glowed like a crystal, blowing them up, "Onyx-chan, catch!"
She tossed the sword over to Onyx, who attached it to the front of her gun, "Kiramai Buster!"
Red Flash took a step back before jumping up and grabbing his foot, caltrops stuck in the sole. He hopped in place, trying to pull them out, as Onyx pulled the trigger as a yellow light shined within. A large yellow blast erupted from the combined weapon, taking the form of a crystalline version of Sonic's head with a drill on the forehead, before slamming into and through Red Flash, causing him to explode as well. Yacker popped out of the gun before it vanished as Kurenai walked over.
"Nice shooting," Kurenai gave a thumbs up.
"Mmm," Onyx gave a nod in response.
"Oh! That is so cool~!" Zenkaiser awed.
"Hm…" StaCaesae scoffed as he punched Zenkaiser, sending him down to the ground, "It seems once motivated, their potential increases." he looked down at his Geartozinger and at the odds against him.
"They won't interfere…" Zenkaiser grunted, getting to his feet, "Your problem is with me, right? Let Roll check on her Kaa-chan…you and I can keep fighting 'till you're satisfied."
"I will never be satisfied…not while Barashitara is alive, not while knowing all my mother had to suffer was his fault," StaCaesar growled, "That's why you will never understand. How could you?"
"Mmm…you're right…I can't understand how hard it is for you…you suffered a lot…it's why you're so strong," Zenkaiser nodded, "It's why you're so scary strong…I can feel it as we fight…You…You're not evil like Barashitara!"
"Hah?" he tilted his head.
"When I fought him…it was all…cold…and…empty…" Zenkaiser spoke, "You…when I fight you, it's burning…and…heavy…you fight while…understanding pain…understanding something he doesn't!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" StaCaesar gawked.
"...If you really wanted to use Aunty against us…you never would have jumped down to fight me so my friends could save her," Zenkaiser pointed out, "...You realized she was related to Roll…and you just used her as bait to get a One on One with me…You wanted to judge what kind of man I was…that's why you said all those things. You thought it, too…we're alike!"
"..." StaCaesar said nothing as he rushed and punched Zenkaiser, sending him down to the ground, "You and I are nothing alike!" he roared, pinning Zenkaiser down and aiming his Geartozinger at his helmet, "You are a fool…you are everything I am not…you don't know the pain of the world I was born into…what I suffered!"
"But even still…a part of you is kinder than the rest of the Tojitendo!" Zenkaiser shouted back, "It must have been hard…unlike me…you know your Kaa-chan is gone…"
"Grr…" StaCaesar's eyes began glowing as he charged energy into the barrel of his Geartozinger.
"Kaito-nii!" Kurenai gasped as Onyx scrambled to pull her Wispon out, ending up fumbling with it in her frantic grab for it, "Oh!"
"...?" StaCaesar looked down as Zenkaiser had the Geartlinger aimed at his abdomen.
"Stacy…I don't understand your pain…" Zenkaiser spoke, "But only in that I don't know what it's like to lose someone you loved and be abandoned…but…I understand you… So from here on…I'll fight you! No matter where or when…until I can understand your past…and you can understand me!"
At that, both pulled the trigger, causing a massive explosion as a flash of purple and white light sent both Kaito and Stacy tumbling back along the ground. Their clothing was tattered, but despite the point blank blast…they both looked more…annoyed from the pain then actually harmed. Kaito grunted trying to get up…but fell over as Stacy stood up with very little issue.
"Are you an idiot?" Stacy asked, "Why did you wait to shoot at the same time as me?"
"I…wanted to see who would get up first…" Kaito chuckled, "I guess you win this time…"
"Hmph…" Stacy gripped his Geartozinger, before turning away and walking off, "I guess we'll just leave it at that…I don't consider this an actual victory. Beating you was easy if that's how you do things…Zenkaiser…no," he turned to glare down at him, "Goshikida Kaito…I'll remember this…and next time I will destroy you," he declared as a portal formed and swept over him to teleport him away.
"Wah…Intense Zenkai…" Kaito gawked as he let his head fall down into the ground, "Ugh…"
"Kaito-nii!" Kurenai yelped as she and Onyx ran over, dismissing their transformations, "Daijobu?"
"Well I'm gonna feel the sting in the morning…but…I'm in one piece…right?" Kaito chuckled as he sat up best he could. He then looked at Roll, "Let's consider today a tie…yeah, I lost…but…we got someone back."
"Ah…Oh!" Roll recalled as she looked around before spotting the container, "Kaa-chan!" Kaito and Whisper spun around like tops from how fast she zipped past the two over to it, "Hold on, Kaa-chan!"
"Kaito!" Gaon cried, running over and catching him, "I got you!" he lifted him up, "Ah, Whisper-chwan!? Daijobu? I'm not playing favorites, I swear! Kaito is just hurt!"
"I got her," Tangle replied, catching the dizzy wolf with her tail, "Yeesh. What did you guys find that's got Roll all top-making? Last time that happened was when Haseo tripped and fell off the roof."
"Her Kaa-chan," Kaito pointed to where Roll went.
"Hah?!" everyone exclaimed as Roll pulled her Geartlasher out and pried open the container with it.
"Kaa-chan!" Roll called out, sighing in relief on seeing her still sleeping in it, "Phew…"
"She slept through all that!?" Magine gawked as they all rushed over, "How deep of a sleeper is she?"
"Oh, you'd be surprised," Skye replied, crawling out from under it and making them jump.
"S-Skye?! When did…?" Juran gawked.
"I kept opening and closing the same door, poking my head through each time, until I found one that ended up bypassing the security measures the Tojitendo had," Skye explained.
"You got in?!" Kaito asked, grabbing Skye's arms, "How?! Who?! Huh?!"
"Down, boy!" Skye exclaimed, wriggling himself out of the grip, "Wow. You are really tired, huh?"
"He got shot in the face and is standing up…" Whisper argued.
"Makes sense. He only gets this weak of a grip from a good whack to the head," Skye nodded.
"Tou-san…" Roll glowered.
"Relax, relax. Look, let's just get your Kaa-chan home and then I'll wake her up," Skye noted, rubbing the back of his head, "Would've been better with Meimei, but…"
"Oh, she's at Harvard," Roll replied.
"...Told ya my side of the family are the geniuses," Skye chuckled.
Everyone then tensed when the ground shook, making them all look at the giant Zenkai Gaon, "I'll carry everyone home!" He held his hand out for everyone.
Skye snorted before giving a laugh, "Attaboy, Gaogao! Everyone on the giant Kikainoid Ranger! Jurajura, Vroony, help me with this."
"Yoshoi!" Juran and Vroon lifted the pod up and began moving it to Gaon's palm.
"What a day…" Sonic sighed as he looked at Kaito, "Well some good came out of you and your new Nemesis…"
"Hmm…I prefer Rival," Kaito chuckled as Roll and Magine helped him onto the palm, "I don't hate Stacy, and…I think he's just…hurt 'cause his Kaa-chan is gone…and his Dad is Barashitara…he didn't have the big family I had to keep me happy…" he looked at Roll and then Skye, "I can't hate him…'cause…even if he doesn't like it…we're alike."
"Two sides of the same coin," Skye compared, earning a nod from Kaito, "...Best tell your rival to be careful if he meets my wife and her cousins. Remember what happens when they hear a sad story."
"Maybe he just needs some good hugs?" Kaito smiled, "Maybe not today, or tomorrow…but someday…I want to be friends with Stacy~"
"Seriously?" Juran gawked in disbelief.
"Sounds fun," Sonic noted.
"Seriously, Sonic?" Magine asked, her eyes widening.
"What? It's something I'm fully in agreement," Sonic noted, patting Kaito's shoulder, "If anyone can, it's Kaito. Huh…Betcha this could be a great First, right?"
"Ah…" Kaito nodded, "I'll be the World's First Human to make a friend with an Evil Tojitendo Ranger!" he gave a big toothy grin.
"That's nice and all, but I have one last question: is everyone back home thanks to Door World's powers?" Vroon asked.
"Ah! Yatchan!" Kaito and the others panicked.
"...I'm gonna have a flat head by the end of this day…" Skye froze in place with a look of realization and horror.
"?" Yacker tilted his head before patting Skye's head.
"Yah~ I had an amazing day! First a movie, then the spa~! Ah…so many wonderful places! And I didn't even need to pay!" Yatsude laughed once she arrived at home later that night, a happy Haseo holding her hand, "And good timing on running into Haseo-chan, too."
"Uhn!" Haseo smiled.
"You have fun today?"
"Uh-huh!" Haseo nodded, "We tied, but we got the prizes together!"
"Well we got another nice surprise!" Kaito chuckled while bandaged up, he then turned to Roll to let her do the honors.
"Haseo-chan, Yachan…" Roll smiled as she moved to the side…allowing Aphrodite to walk out of the kitchen, a piece of strawberry fudge in hand that she nibbled on, "Ta-dah!"
"?!" Haseo's eyes widened as his ears perked up, tears beginning to well up in his eyes as his tails swayed a bit, "...K….Kaa-san…?"
"Aphrodite-chan?" Yatsude gasped.
"Yachan," Aphrodite greeted with a gentle smile before putting the fudge on a napkin and holding her arms out to Haseo, "Haseo-chan~"
"...K…Kaa-san~!" Haseo cried as he shot over to her, using his tails to propel himself forward and into her arms.
"Oh~! There's my baby boy's hugs!" Aphrodite cooed, nuzzling the top of his head as she hugged him close to her figure, ignoring the tears he was shedding into her clothes while she began to hum a gentle tune.
"Ahh…it's…it's so…" Gaon sniffled as the Kiakainoids all stood to the side, crying water and tiny gears from their eyes, "It's so fluffy and wonderful~" he cried out as the tears turned into waterfalls.
"Three times in a row," Juran sniffled, blowing his nose with a handkerchief, "And each one as heartfelt as the other!"
"BWAH! It's just so heartwarming~!" Magine balled as her tears were the largest as they threatened to flood the room.
"I know, I know~" Amy sighed, patting her head while wiping her own tears.
"This ecstatic and wonderful feeling…it makes my engine go Vroon-Vroon in a way I can not explain!" Vroon declared, "This is the love of family!"
"Welcome home, dear," Yatsude gently greeted, wiping some tears in her eyes.
"All I really need is my Meilu-chan and the main part of our family will be all together," Aphrodite noted, "Apparently, she's at Harvard."
"Now…where's that?" Kaito bluntly asked with a smile, "I only ever hear about it as something impressive, but I have no clue where that is!" he chuckled.
"I'd go…but that means going over water so…I'll stick here and hold down the fort," Sonic spoke up quickly.
"I have been curious about that as well, Kaito," Vroon admitted.
"Harvard is a university in the Americas," Skye explained, "It's actually one of the most prestigious and highly rated ones on the entire planet."
"...uh…"
"It's a school," Skye and Yatsude deadpanned.
"I'm only considering going for Meilu-chan alone…" Kaito admitted sheepishly, "I loved school…but for all the reasons why I am not a university student!"
"H-How did you know she's there?" Haseo asked, looking up at Aphrodite with puffy eyes.
"Because of who came out of a window when he was getting a cup of water to go back to sleep with," Roll replied as she held up Yacker.
"H 5E0!" Yacker beamed, flying out of her hands and into Haseo's.
"Yacker!" Haseo beamed, hugging the Wisp, Aphrodite keeping his tails wrapped up in hers.
"He also told us her number. She finally texted back a while ago," Kaito added, holding up his phone.
"She demanded someone give you extra hugs from her," Aphrodite giggled, giving Haseo another hug before looking around, "I'm glad the store is still going strong, Yachan. You even kept the baked goods part like I suggested."
"I'd have a riot from the regulars if we got rid of that. You made those recipes too good, Aphrodite!" Yatsude sighed in exasperation.
"Getting you back was worth getting my butt kicked by StaCaesar," Kaito chuckled.
"Mmhmm…" Yatsude nodded before blinking, "Eh!? You lost!? My grandson!?"
"It was a tie, actually," Skye corrected, "...Which honestly surprises me more. He's finally found an equal!"
"...Huh…" Sonic muttered.
"What is it, Sonic?" Amy whispered.
"I met her in the past when that one World puked up a time portal…she doesn't look any older than she did back then," Sonic replied.
"Say wha?!" Amy gawked, looking between Sonic and Aphrodite.
"Hmm…I'm sure it's nothing important…" Sonic muttered, "But…that pod thing…and her still looking like she did…" he scratched his head, "Nope…lost it. I just am not good at this mystery stuff~"
"Oh Sonic…" Amy rolled her eyes before squeaking when Aphrodite was before them.
"Ah! I remember you now," Aphrodite recognized, "You were human when we met last, though." she looked over Sonic, "...Mm-hmm. Roll-chan, sweetie?"
"Hai?" Roll asked, setting the table.
"I approve of him for you and Meilu-chan."
"N-n-n-nani?!" Roll yelped, bushing as she nearly dropped the plate she was putting on the table, "K-Kaa-chan! Iie! Iie!"
"Hahahaha…" Kaito giggled, "I missed Aunty and her silly antics. Oh well, least it's not me~"
"Oh, I've already planned that with Mi-chan and Yatchan years ago," Aphrodite replied, making him freeze.
"...That's not funny…" Kaito stated while stone faced before a wall slid open and Ayane quickly came out, "Ah! Ay-Ay!"
"P-Pardon," Ayane moved around him and hugged Aphrodite.
"Oh!" Aphrodite beamed, returning the hug before blinking a few times when she felt something on her neck, "Eh?" she looked down to see a rose gold necklace with a heart-shaped locket.
"I-Interdimensional tracker. S-so we don't lose you again," Ayane explained.
"Nice thinking, Ay-Ay!" Tangle beamed as she and Whisper came out of the kitchen, carrying dinner, "Don't wanna lose Mrs. S again after finding her…"
"More like Kaito's rival gave her back to us," Sonic pointed out.
"EH?! Ah mou…Skye, I blame you!" Yatsude blamed.
"Me?! What did I do?!" Skye complained.
"You know you won't win against Yatchan after your first meeting with her, Darling," Aphrodite pointed out.
"Also, you and my son always thought the same crazy ideas…you two spent days making that Zenkaiser suit for Kaito. So of course I blame you since it's yours and his fault my Grandson is running around fighting interdimensional evil," Yatsude argued.
"As I recall, you made him that Halloween costume based on it," Skye reminded.
"Eh?! My Halloween costume when I was six?!" Kaito gawked.
"Ay-chan…the heavy pan," Yatsude held her hand out.
"Oh no, Yatchan, dear," Aphrodite smiled sweetly…
*THWACK!*
"That's my job now that I'm back," Aphrodite giggled as Skye groaned on the floor while she tucked the used reinforced rolling pin back into her cleavage.
"...I forgot how scary Mrs. S can be…" Tangle whispered with wide eyes as she hid behind Whisper who hid behind Vroon with her Wisps.
"I'm sorry, but where did that just go?" Vroon adjusted his glasses in confusion as it overpowered his fear.
"Ah~! You have a curious one! Oh, Skye must love having you around to teach, ne?" Aphrodite giggled, patting Vroon's cheek, "But that's a family secret~"
"Oh~"
"Well…it feels a lot more like home, huh?" Kaito smiled at Roll.
"It does," Roll replied, "We just need Aunty, Uncle, and Nee-chan to complete it."
"Ah," Kaito nodded in agreement, "I know Tou-chan and Kaa-chan are out there. If your Kaa-chan can come home like this…now…I'm Zenryoku Zenkai sure!"
"I get the feeling we've gotten enough flags triggered for a party event," Cassia smiled.
"Cassia," Clove sighed, shaking her head.
"Oh! I heard the little lady say it! It's out there! APHRODITE RETURN PARTY!" Juran cheered.
"Ah~This place truly has become lively," Aphrodite giggled, "Oh! I nearly forgot."
"Hm?" everyone looked at her as she dug around in her tail.
"When I woke up in that place after the weird light, I couldn't stash the family blade away…" Aphrodite pulled out a blue fine-cut emerald the size of a baseball, "...but I did hide this."
"?!" Sonic, Amy, Cassia, and Clove all tensed up in surprise upon seeing the emerald, "A Chaos Emerald?!"
"Oh?" Kaito blinked as he took hold of it, "Wow…pretty…what is it?" he tilted his head.
=Gyah!= Secchan yelped, his head spinning around until he grabbed it with his wings =I tried scanning it, tune, and nearly shorted out! It's power's off the charts!=
"Hmm?" Kaito shook it a few times, "It's just a pretty rock…" he flipped it up a few times.
"It's more than that, man," Sonic spoke up as he ran over, grabbing it before it could fall to the ground, "This is a Chaos Emerald! One of seven! They've got unlimited power in them!"
"Oh…" Kaito nodded.
"You still don't get it, huh?" Roll asked.
"Not a lick…" he chuckled as everyone but Aphrodite and Yatsude fell over.
"That's my nephew!" Aphrodite couldn't help but laugh.
"Ah…you should have been here for his highschool years…" Yatsude laughed, "He was totally helpless…"
"No luck with the girls?"
"I will have great grandkids yet," Yatsude declared, "...Preferably when I'm retired."
"Oh, I'm sure they'll come eventually," Aphrodite giggled, glancing around the room, "Grandbabies for myself as well."
"...My bachelor senses are tingling. Running away Zenkai!" Kaito called, running off.
"Wait for me!" Sonic followed, the emerald flying up as it landed in Magine's hands while Roll and Ayane's faces were a bright pink with steam coming out of their ears.
"Bah…young bloods…youth is wasted on the young." Juran shook his head before looking at Clove, "Though I'm curious…just how powerful are these Chaos Emeralds really?"
"...I'll say this…" Clove sighed as she gained a serious expression, "It is for the best that the Tojitendo…never gets their hands on them."
"Hey, Gaon, I'll give you my walk Haseo to friends house duty if you lick it," Magine held the Chaos Emerald up to him.
"What am I? Stupid…to turn that down!?" Gaon cheered.
"...I'm not fixing him until tomorrow morning," Skye deadpanned as Gaon licked the emerald.
"Eh? I feel…" Gaon paused as his dreadlocks began glowing bright blue, "GAON~!" at that, he ran around as a blur of yellow with faint blue electricity trailing behind him.
"Don't do that again," Amy scolded Magine as she took the emerald, "It may be funny now, but these things are not a laughing matter. You could power the whole country of Japan with just one Emerald."
"Sugoi~!" Vroon gawked.
"I am one with the universe!" Gaon shouted, running along the walls. However, he suddenly slowed to a stop…and gravity let him fall down with a loud thud, "What happened?! What year is it!?" he looked around, "I saw things…they were…neat~"
"Hm? Haseo-chan made friends?" Aphrodite asked.
"He's also got a crush on a little lynx lady," Juran noted.
"?!" Haseo tensed as he quickly hid his heavily blushing face in his tails.
"My baby has a crush?!" Aphrodite gasped, "Oh, I have missed a lot! Yatchan, gossip please~!"
"What do you take me for?" Yatsude smirked as she produced a modest diary book, "I wrote down all the juicy stuff for you to enjoy once you got back~"
"Ah! Yatchan, no!" Roll, Haseo, and Ayane all yelped.
"Arigatou~!" Aphrodite thanked as she pocketed the book for later.
"This is the joys of raising kids," Yatsude smiled, "Seeing their lives unfold in all the amazing ways."
"And then getting to embarrass them because we love them so much," Aphrodite winked.
"Though I'm glad to have another Mother here. Dealing with all the new kids…and Skye encouraging nonsense…" Yatsude sighed happily, "I can finally go to bingo night again now. 'Cause someone will be home to bonk knuckleheads."
"Hai~" Aphrodite giggled with a mock salute.
"...Oi, Skye…you're gonna die…" Juran bluntly muttered while patting his shoulder.
"Eh, had a feeling," Skye shrugged, "But I don't give a hoot. I have missed my beloved dove of the sea!"
"And while not much has passed for me, I've missed you, my amazing smithy," Aphrodite giggled, pulling him over with her tail to hug him from the side.
"There are children present," Clove sighed, covering Cassia's eyes.
"Not even I am that curious…" Vroon spoke, doing the same.
"Oh come on! They are in love and meeting again," Magine argued, "Sides, we had a long day, so let's just enjoy things. As soon as someone gets the net and catches Kaito and Sonic again…Not it!"
"I volunteer my girls to get them!" Aphrodite volunteered.
"EH?!" Roll and Ayane exclaimed, "KAA-CHAN~!"
"One's as fast as the blue boy and the other can outsmart the Zenkaiser," Aphrodite replied.
"MMM~!" both whined, blushing hard with steam puffing out of their ears.
