Z0: Hell awaits you all! *cape and chains drag them into the shadows*
=LAST TIME!= Secchan shouted, sitting on top of a doorknob to the boys' bedroom =Barashitara's son Stacey has appeared, revealing him to be the newest warrior of the Tojitendo, StaCaesar! Everyone had to deal with his summons and going all over the world because of Door World's antics! The only good things that came from this were Gaon becoming a bit closer to the team and a near-perfect family reunion with the return of Aphrodite Sakurai, tune!=
"Stop shouting, Secchan," Sonic groaned from the other side of the door before slamming it shut, causing the bucket of water on it to fall on the robo-bird.
=GYAH! My prank backfired, tune!= Secchan yelped.
"Okay…Amy-chan, I have to ask this: why are your gloves so clean despite all the baking preparations?" Aphrodite asked, watching as Amy kneaded dough with her gloves on while Roll was doing it without her gloves.
"Oh. Tails made this amazing polymer that he sprayed on all the gloves of the Knothole Freedom Fighters and a few of our friends at the time," Amy explained as she began to spread the dough out with a rolling pin, "Filth just slides right off. You can't even write on them because the polymer is so good."
"Oh~" Aphrodite awed.
"Yacker-chan, I need thr sifter please," Roll spoke.
Yacker saluted and moved for the sifter before Cyan zipped by and took it over to Roll. Yacker's eye bulged in shock before Aphrodite snapped her fingers twice and he beamed. He floated over to grab a wooden spoon before Pink grabbed it and gave it to Aphrodite. Yacker narrowed his eyes as the other Wisps of Whisper's zipped about, getting things for the three before he could. The Wisp grumbled as he floated out and landed on Haseo's head, doing homework at the table across from Cassia.
"Yeesh…Whisper should really level up her Wisp Mastery stats," Cassia noted, cringing a bit, "Yacker's raising a lot of red flags on going into a battle or into an Ace Attorney breakdown."
"Eh?" Haseo looked up at the pouting Yacker, "..." he reached up and patted Yacker's head, "There, there, Yacker-chan."
"$25 sg…."
=Well it can't be helped. We've developed a system around this house= Secchan spoke up, =The cooks have formed a symbiosis with the Wisp that travel with Whisper, and now they help around the kitchen as sort of extra hands. I'm sure if you spend enough time, you'll work into the system somehow=
"Ano…" Haseo heard Yacker mumble, "Yacker's more upset that he can't do anything on his own anymore."
=What?= Secchan pondered before Yacker reached for a lollipop…and Green shyly picked it up and gave it to the White Wisp.
"...Oh…They're being a bit too helpful with Yaks, huh?" Cassia asked.
"B1n60," Yacker sighed.
"Guess his party mood is deflating with how helpful his Wisp buddies are," Juran noted, mopping the floor before the counter moved back and Skye walked out of Ayane's secret tunnel, "Oh! Yo, doc!"
"Hello, Jurry," Skye greeted as the counter slid back into place, "Hey, Yacky." Yacker gave a half-wave, "...Ah. Well, don't be too sad, Yacky. Good news."
"?" Yacker pondered as Skye pulled out several tickets.
"Yaya! The tickets came!" Skye called.
"Finally!" Yatsude exclaimed as she walked over.
"We actually got a very generous discount when I brought up the Zenkaigers would be flying." Skye chuckled, "Guess there are pros to having superhero kids."
"Flying?" Kaito repeated.
"I knew I forgot something," Yatsude sighed, putting the CLOSED sign up in the window with a 'BE BACK IN…' sign below it, "Everyone gather around! Quick meeting! You two can get back to your homework in a minute."
"Yay!" Cassia cheered.
"What's going on?" Clove asked as she and everyone else walked into the room, the elder pronghorn drying her hands off.
"We are going to be lacking several workers here for a week or two," Yatsude informed, "They'll be running a very important delivery."
"A delivery?" Amy repeated, "Where to?"
"Massachusets," Skye replied.
"All the way there?" Magine asked in surprise.
"Ano…What is being delivered? Who's delivering it?" Vroon asked.
"The Sakurai Special," Yatsude replied before Skye handed tickets to each Zenkaiger, Haseo, Amy, and Aphrodite, "And our delivery people!"
"...wait…" Tangle began, looking between Skye and her ticket before stars appeared in her eyes, "Are we going on a world trip?!"
"Well, we couldn't get a direct trip there. Need to go through several stops, ride a train after one point, and then another plane…" Skye noted before catching Roll by the back of her shirt as she tried to run off, "I'll make sure you, Haseo, and your mother have a knockout pill before we get on the planes…"
"...What's up with Roll?" Sonic asked.
"Ohh…Right. Aside from Skye and Meilu, everyone in the Sakurai get air sickness on planes," Tangle recalled, "Roll hates it as much as you fear water."
"Hey, hey, hey! I am not afraid of water!" Sonic argued before his phone went off, making him blink as he answered, "Hello?"
=Labyrinth Zone= Tails deadpanned.
"Hey hey…that…"
=And Hydro City zone to an extent=
"Y…wait. Don't you mean Hydrocity Zone?"
"Oh not again…" Amy groaned as she facepalmed.
=Sonic…everyone knows it's Hydro City Zone= Tails argued.
"Little buddy…I'm pretty sure it's Hydrocity Zone," Sonic countered.
"Yeah yeah it's a water place…the Kid doesn't do water," Juran sighed.
"So how many stops are we doing?" Amy asked.
"Well, this plane goes a bit into China, then we'll be on a transcontinental train to France where it's straight to a boat to London, then one more plane ride to Massachusets," Skye explained.
"Oh…well that's not too bad."
"France? As in…the France with Paris in it?" Aphrodite asked.
"Yes, our train goes straight through Paris," Skye replied before calmly putting headphones on himself and Haseo with Yatsude quickly putting on a pair as well.
"Why are yo…?" Sonic began before everyone else but Aphrodite and Roll fell over, either twitching or rolling in a circle on the floor while holding their hands to their ears.
"AH!" Most of them cried out.
"I think it's so high I can't even hear it…" Kaito muttered, unaffected.
"Why us!?" Juran complained.
"We…We have more acute auditory receptors! We can hear it!" Vroon complained as his head rolled around repeatedly.
Skye pulled out a carton of strawberries and handed it to the mother-daughter pair, ending the excited high-pitched united squeal, before removing his headphones, "Hence why we're going that way and not the other way around the globe. Made a promise to my wife that one of her first places to ever visit when Earth was accepting of Mobians is Paris, France."
"This is just an excuse for a honeymoon with your wife…" Magine deadpanned.
"I respect it…but our ears are still ringing…" Amy groaned as she summoned her hammer, tossed it, and let it fall on Skye's head, "Now your head hurts, too…we're even."
"And we leave it at that…" Magine warned as she glared at him.
"Ahem," Aphrodite cleared her throat, making both flinch and look at her, "Are you two intending to mess with a promise made from love?"
"Ah! N-No, ma'am!" both replied, quickly standing up and bowing repeatedly.
"..." Aphrodite smiled as she patted their heads, "Good. You'd be in very big trouble if you were." she walked off to the door, humming, "I'm off to pack~!"
"...Akuma da…" Magine whispered.
"Sh-She's not that scary…" Amy assured.
"She takes love as high a responsibility as the goddess she's named after," Yatsude deadpanned, "You need love counseling, she's the expert."
"Eh?" Juran blinked a few times.
"Vroon, have you been reading newspapers from a decade or so ago?"
"I have!" Vroon replied.
"She's Ai-sama."
"HAH?! The mysterious authoress famous all over Tokyo for her dating and marriage advice?!" Vroon exclaimed, "The one that suddenly vanished at the height of her popularity?!"
"Bingo." Kaito nodded.
"Sadly she wasn't around when Kaito most needed her…" Yatsude sighed.
"I prefer freedom." Kaito spoke up.
"Ditto," Sonic agreed, bumping fists with Kaito.
"Oh she's gonna have her hands full with you two." Yatsude giggled, "So will you Skye, now your one of the only adults on this adventure!" she slapped his shoulder, "Juran isn't much help though…so it's like you have a whole class worth of kids to look out for."
"I packed the emergency parachute for Haseo-kun!" Gaon declared, "Where do I put the emergency inflatable boat!?"
"Isn't that a bit much?" Juran deadpanned.
"Have you seen what's in the ocean?!" Gaon argued, "Sharks, giant squids, whales…WHALES!"
"Don't forget orcas," Sonic added before giving a shudder.
"We have one very important rule when it comes to large bodies of water," Amy noted, "Don't let Sonic fish!"
"Oh come on. I'm not that bad…"
"The last time we decided to try fishing with Big, you pulled out a giant rainbow-colored poison dart frog! And a giant poisonous octopus when they're meant to be as tiny as a quarter!"
"Oh come on. That guy was just disguising itself as the poisonous one."
"It was the real deal and Antoine needed to be pumped of the poison!"
"Hahahaha…ah…yeah I…I hope he's doing okay." Sonic muttered.
"...Chances are your other friends are spread across the globe," Kaito suggested.
"Hmm?"
"I mean so far the only ones you've found so far are Amy, Tails, and Nicole," He pointed out, "Who's to say they aren't elsewhere in the world?"
"...well, I didn't get to chance to fully check out America after that one favor I did," Sonic muttered as he thought it over
"Well guess we'll have time to think of how to find them!" Kaito offered, "Plane rides are pretty long…"
"Mmm…" Roll grimaced.
"Oh don't worry, Roll," Amy assured, patting her hand.
"Yeah! We can get some strawberry shortcake when we get off the plane!" Tangle beamed.
"Ohh~! That's my favorite dessert!" Amy exclaimed.
"This is gonna be crazy, isn't it?" Juran asked Skye.
"Most likely. Good thing I got one for Tails as well. Those are his friends that may be out in the world, too," Skye noted, "Which means we'll also have the delightful little Nikky with us, too."
"?!" Haseo's tails shot up as he blushed.
"Well let's just hope nothing happens while we are away," Juran sighed, "Also you and your wife worry me with your romance talk…" he poked Skye, "You better not be scheming…"
"Perish the thought," Skye smiled, "It's tactical." he whispered once Juran walked off.
"Blast! Why can't we find the blasted place?!" Eggman grumbled, "We always hear where it's located, but we just can't locate it! And the few Kudakk troopers that did go there when the Tojitendo first attacked got blown up by the red one!"
"The ninja?" Ijirude asked.
"No, no. The tyrannosaurus-looking one that blew up the Kudaitest by stabbing it with his posterior," Eggman replied.
"Oh that one," Ijirude huffed before pulling the roulette arm, causing the machine to land on Eggman's emblem once more, "Ah!"
"Whoo-hoo! Bad in the saddle, baby!" Eggman whooped, "Someone get me Stacey! He's going to love this plan!"
"How so?" Ijirude asked.
"He gets Zenkaiser all to himself," Eggman replied.
"Explain," Stacey ordered, suddenly behind Eggman and Ijirude.
"GYAH!" Ijirude yelped.
"AAAAAHHHH!-!-!" Eggman screamed out like a goat while jumping up and landing in Ijjirude's arms.
"Don't do that!" both barked at the half-human half-Kikainoid 'prince.'
"No," Stacy replied simply, "Now explain why I was summoned."
"Right. It is my turn to wage an assault upon those troublesome Zenkaigers and you are quite like me in the regards of focusing on that one nemesis who just. won't. Lose!" Eggman explained before seething at the end and then shaking his head, "A-Anyways, we are losing because of an important thing: they have a team with them. Therefore, you got to battle Zenkaiser to your heart's content…while I pull out a World from here and give you a team to keep the others away!"
"A team of Worlds?"
"No, just one specific World," Eggman replied as he opened a panel of the side to show a computer setup and typed on it until a Tojiru Gear popped out of the bottom of the machine, "Behold! Coachtopia! A world filled with people enthusiastic about coaching everyone on anything and everything!"
"...To be clear, I get Zenkaiser?"
"All yours, my dear StaCaesar," Eggman replied, "I'll make sure to give strict orders they can't interfere with your battle with the fool in white tights."
"Do as you want then."
"Splendid!" Eggman grinned before slapping a Kudakk with the Tojiru Gear, letting it fall over and start to spasm as it transformed, "Now someone get me Lien-Da, Conquering Storm, Maw, and Akuhlt!"
"Negative," everyone turned to see Metal Sonic entering the area, his optics glowing, "I have a better solution…"
"Ahh Metal! You're restored!" Eggman beamed as he walked over, only for Metal to walk past him as he headed towards the slot machine, "?"
"...one…two….three…four….five…" Metal counted, looking at a nearby group of Kudakks, "...It'll be enough."
"Eh? Enough f-" Eggman began before Metal cranked the lever, causing it to rapidly spin a few times before it landed in 3 images of an ax, "...Axtopia?"
"Negative…Weapontopia; Home of many weapons and fighting styles involving weapons," Metal stated as he grabbed the gear once it came out, looking back at the group of Kudakks before settling on the lead one, "...you'll do."
The other four tensed as they got behind the first one and began to move him, making him tense up in fear before Metal shoved the gear into it. A few moments passed before red sparks began to come off the Kudakk, which soon hit the other four as green, yellow, black, and pink sparks began to come off them. Soon all five gained different colored jumpsuits matching the energy coming off them, the yellow one bulking up and growing in size while the pink one took on a more femenine shape. Their heads then reshaped into a set of helmets, their mouthguards similar to that of turrets as spikes poked out the top of their helmets, a pair of shades appearing over the black-suited one while a 'ponytail' came out from the back of the pink-one's helmet.
"Ha!" the 5 shouted as they all held their hands out, a set of halberds in their respective colors appearing in them with the blades similar to that of an ax.
"We fight for Evil!" the red one declared.
"We live for disorder!" the black one added.
"We like what we do…" the green one added in a rather lazy manner.
"We eat what we like!" the yellow one roared as they banged their chest.
"We wear the trendiest clothes," the pink one added with a 'wink'.
"We live to serve the Tojitendo Dynasty!" the five declared.
"We are…" the red one began, the five spinning their halberds like experts before posing.
"AXEM RA-!" the five declared…before they were all suddenly smacked upside the head by Metal, "?!"
"Negative," Metal stated, "None of that…"
"Oi! You got a problem, tin can?!" the black one snapped with a tick mark.
"Black's right!" the red one shouted as he pointed at Metal, "You never interrupt someone in the middle of a roll call!"
"Not what I meant, Red, ya fool!"
"Ahh! My hair…" the pink one cried a bit as she brushed her 'ponytail,' "I just got it the way I liked it, too."
"Guys…I'm hungry," the yellow one spoke up, "How about we stop arguing and grab a bite?"
"Yare yare…" the green one sighed as he shook his head.
"...Well….that's a first," Eggman muttered as he rubbed his chin in thought, "I didn't think using one Gear on a group of Kudakks would result in this…"
"We have numbers now…that's all that matters," Stacey spoke, "If it lets me focus on my task, then that's all I need. Though, I will still need something as reliable as Zenkaier's two companions who follow him around."
"Yes…Sonic and that new Girly friend in his long list of them…" Eggman nodded.
"Hakase, I shall tell you; I think Starline has an idea…but I'm not so sure of it myself. Try talking it out with him; your input made this thing as strong as it is," he held up the Geartozinger, "You might make his idea more viable."
"...Hmm…you might be onto something…" Eggman muttered, "...Good idea. I'll have a little…chat with Starline on his little project. Metal, you and Stacy reign in the new guys."
"New g-Oi! We already said who we are! We're the Axem Ra-" Red began before Metal slapped him, "?!"
"Incorrect…new name," Metal stated.
"I don't really care," Stacy spoke, "Just stay out of my way as I fight, and we won't have any problems." he turned and walked off.
"So cool~!" most of them awed, watching Stacy walk away with style.
"Wh-?! Hey! I'm the leader here!" Red complained.
"Wrong," Metal stated before dragging him down to his level, "And you stay out of my way as well…Sonic the Hedgehog is mine alone…understood…Onorengers?"
"Eh? o-Ono…
"Bukiko Sentai Onorengers…that is your name from now on," Metal stated as he let him go, "Your purpose is to defeat the Kikai Sentai Zenkaigers…but stay out of the way of our fights between Zenkaiser and Sonic. Understood…?"
"...tch….yes…sir," Red growled as he lowered his head.
"Good," Metal Sonic nodded as he walked off.
"Wait! Where are you going?"
"The airport closest to the Sumida ward," Metal replied, "They posted a 'tweet' on this site called 'Twitter' one hour ago: 'Excited to announce our airline will be having the Zenkaigers taking an airplane from it!'"
"Airplane!? Where are they going? Are…Are they taking a vacation?!" Eggman gawked.
"Unknown."
"Oh…so they want to have fun, huh? Well, we will show them fun!" Eggman laughed.
"Just to be clear…we are going to lay a trap for them, right?" Ijirude asked.
"Yes…" Eggman nodded.
"Mmm….Early…" most of the Zenkaigers groaned as they stumbled out of the train that dropped them off closest to the Airport.
"Oh come on! Let's get a move on!" Juran cheered.
"How are you so energetic in the morning?" Gaon grumbled.
"Are you kidding? When the sun comes up, Juran does!" he cheered, "Show some youth!" he began pushing everyone, "Sides it's your own fault for taking too long to pack."
"But I had to plan for everything! What if Kaito-kun or Haseo-chan gets sick? What if we do an emergency water landing…what if we fly through a rift in time and get eaten by horrible CGI monsters!?" Gaon listed.
"You need to stop watching bad scary movies…" Juran muttered.
"We are trapped on another world fighting an evil empire by turning into giant robots! The fact you think it can't happen shows you are a fool! A Fool!" Gaon declared as he shook Juran, "The cute and fluffy friends must be protected…at…all…costs…"
*PIKO!*
"Thank you, Amy," Juran thanked as he hefted the knocked out Gaon over his shoulders.
"It's too early for him to be like this," Amy sighed, putting her hammer away.
"Come on, guys, let's get through all the checking stuff, and we can all take a nap waiting for our flight." Kaito offered with a small yawn, "We can even get some breakfast from the food court."
"Huh…It's gonna be weird flying and I'm not the one in control," Tails noted.
"Nothing different for me. I just get a chair this time." Sonic smirked before glancing over at Roll, who was lightly trembling, "...Hey, it's gonna be fine, Roll. Your dad's gonna give you something to handle the trip, right?"
"R-Right…" Roll nodded, "B-But I'm still worried."
"Nu-nu-nu? Roll, are you scared of flying?" Magine tilted her head.
"Iie! I…I get really sick when I fly," Roll explained, "It's something everyone in the clan has trouble with."
"But…" Vroon picked up Haseo, "How does that relate to…him?" he motioned to his tails.
"Ano…I-I can fly on my own abilities. P-planes make me feel queasy…" Haseo replied.
"...Is this like Natsu Dragneel?" Sonic pondered, tilting his head.
"Ah! That's the best comparison," Kaito nodded.
"Eh…" Magine nodded.
"Mmm…I'm still upset Lisanna didn't get Natsu…" Roll mumbled, puffing a cheek up in annoyance.
"How many ships do you have in the manga you read?" Amy asked.
"I do not ship!" Roll denied.
"Uh-huh…" Kaito rolled his eyes.
"Bleach?" Magine held up a tankobon.
"I'm so happy Orihime got with Ichigo-san!" Roll giggled, her tail wagging, "I was rooting for them the whole series!"
"Mmm…" Magine nodded, "This could be fun…" she dug around in her bag, "Fruits Basket!" she pulled out another tankobon.
"That's gonna go on for a while…" Juran muttered.
"None of that," Skye scolded, putting a hand on Magine's before she could pull another out, "Wait until we get through everything to wait for our plane and then you can tease my eldest daughter."
"T-Tou-san…" Roll whispered in an embarrassed blush.
"Boo…this is the only kind of stuff worth talking about for girls…" Magine complained.
"That can't be true…" Sonic muttered.
"Well…it is for me," Magine elbowed him.
"That and fortune telling," Amy added with a giggle, "Now come on! The faster we get through everything, the faster we get back to teasing Roll about her pretending to not be a shipper!"
"Janai!" Roll denied, blushing, as Aphrodite giggled, "K-Kaa-chan~!"
"Well…Here's to some fun," Sonic grinned.
"...I goofed…" Sonic sighed as Tails, Amy, and Tangle watched with wide eyes at the growing pile of weapons the Sakurai aside from Skye and Ayane kept pulling out of their clothing…while the Kikainoids kept setting off the metal detectors due to their bodies.
"Why are you two the only ones that passed?" Amy asked, looking at the two non-blood Sakurai.
"Because we're not kunoichi and shinobi on their scale," Skye replied, Ayane peeking out from behind him.
"Yeah, you guys don't know the trick for how to hide a dozen things in a single pocket, huh?" Kaito muttered.
"Ma'am…how did you even fit a collapsible naginata in there?" a TSA agent muttered, just looking the weapon over.
"Who makes a collapsible naginata?" a fellow agent asked.
"Why is the kid pulling out so many bags of vacuum-sealed blueberries and blueberry-related snacks…?" another muttered in disbelief.
"Yeah, well…technically, that's not as bad as…a…double bladed sword?" another held it up, "H-How did you hide this where you pulled it out from?"
"Sakurai Clan secret," Aphrodite replied as she reached behind her ear and pulled out another kunai for the pile, "And I think that's the last of mine."
"Well I'm sorry, Ma'am, but you have to understand…we can't let you take this with you…" he muttered, "We'll gladly send these home…but…you can not take these with you. We'll let the Zenkaigers of course have their gear back…They are literal Superheroes…but we can't let a normal woman just…get on a plane with…are these Nunchucks…that turn into Kusarigama!?"
"Oh poo. That's supposed to be for Haseo's birthday," Aphrodite sighed.
"Eh?" Haseo pondered, pulling out a yo-yo from his sock.
"Nothing, sweetie~ Just keep pulling things out," Aphrodite replied, using her tail to block his sight of the weapon.
"Again, Ma'am, I'm terribly sorry, but letting the Zenkaigers have their gear…which are weapons…is already…highly bending the rules…" the Agent spoke, "But…well…we need to confiscate these. We'll gladly send them home as a favor for being family of Japan's very own Superheroes…but…rules are still rules."
"Oh very well, dear," Aphrodite assured, pulling out a business card and giving it to him with a bow along with a piece of paper with something written on it, "Here's the address to have them delivered to. Ask for Goshikida Yatsude or 'Yatchan' as we call her. And any bills can be given to this account." she then pulled out a basket of baked goods, "And please accept these as an apology for all the hassle my kittens and I have caused."
"Oh…well…thank you, ma'am," he blinked as he looked at the card.
"Um…I think that's everything," Haseo noted, looking up at the female worker.
"That is quite a lot of tools," she noted.
"A-Arigatou!" Haseo thanked with a smile.
'...Oh Kami above, he's too adorable…' she thought, "J…Just take the food and toys and you can go on. We'll bundle these with your mother's things to send back."
"Hai~" Haseo nodded as he went about putting his snacks away from where he pulled them out from.
"Okay…we cannot allow you on with any of these weapons. We're barely able to allow you to keep your sword that you transform with," the one working with Roll sighed.
"I understand," Roll assured as she reached into her glove…and pulled out a battleax twice her size and thrice her width.
"...HOW?!" he gawked.
"Oh, I practice a lot with the storage technique," Roll replied, "Kaa-chan is the real master of it, followed by my twin in Harvard and then me, Haseo-chan, and then Nee-chan, but she uses hers for costumes."
"I…I see…" the worker noted, a drop of sweat going down the back of his head, "Is…Is that the last of it?"
"Yes. That's everything."
"...J…Just go now, ma'am. Your weapons will be shipped back to your home," he caved.
"Arigatou!" Roll thanked as she quickly put away her snacks.
"...That was amazing and worrisome," Tails admitted.
"I told you guys not to pack weapons…" Kaito sighed, "We take this stuff seriously on Earth, you know." he motioned to Haseo, "He listened. All his were just for making model kits."
"Hai, hai, Kai-chan. Our bad," Aphrodite sheepishly rubbed the back of her head.
"Well, I mean…you don't need all that stuff with us here," Juran pointed out.
"I got to keep the parachute," Gaon spoke, strapping it to Haseo.
"Eh?" Haseo tried to look at the parachute, ending up going around in a circle.
"Aw~" the girls and Gaon couldn't help but coo at the sight.
"Well we made it past the long part, now we just need to get on the plane and wait for take off!" Kaito cheered, "But first…Food court!"
"Chili-Dog! Chili-Dog!" Sonic cheered as they walked off.
"Ah! Sonic-san, Kaito-nii!" Roll called as she followed after them.
"Those guys…" Juran sighed, shaking his head as the others got together.
"Oh! You got to keep your Wispon?" Tangle asked.
"Not allowed to pull it out on the plane, but yes…" Whisper quietly replied.
"Since it technically needs the Wisps…to be a weapon…as long as they don't power it…it's, at the moment, the world's most advanced walking stick," Skye pointed out.
"Frankly, the whole Superhero thing helped us out a lot…" Juran muttered.
"I'm not surprised you've become famous," Aphrodite giggled, "Kaito-chan could never really keep a secret for long." she looked over at the three with Roll shaking her head as both boys slumped at something she said, "...Ne…Is the blade of her Geartlasher…?"
"It's your family blade, yes," Juran confirmed, "The original blade for it broke and she asked Ayane-chan to replace it with the family blade."
"...The greatest tool of a ninja is their adaptability," Aphrodite spoke after a moment, "Their ability to evolve as time passes, each generation adding something new to keep our way alive. I'm glad that the family blade was able to evolve with her."
"So I suppose neither Roll nor Skye told you the story of how we got it back…" Juran blurted out.
"Oh, my beloved Sora-kun did," Aphrodite replied, looking over at Skye and then to Ayane, "My children have all grown so much thanks to all of you. I'm truly grateful to all of you and for the fact you've done well in encouraging my eldest daughter in becoming something more than she was before and that she need not worry about being saved from certain death."
"...Why that specifically?" Amy asked.
"Why…so she doesn't Bond with someone she doesn't wish to, of course," Aphrodite replied.
"Hm? The way you said 'bond' sounded unusual, Sakurai-sama," Vroon noted.
"It's something special that only Roll-chan will be able to have happen to her," Aphrodite explained, smiling gently at Skye as she held his hand, "A Bond is something that leads to years of love and growth. It's deeper than anything others can understand. A blessing from Inari-sama, Enma Daiou-sama, and Amaterasu-sama."
"...May I ask for more information, please?" Vroon asked, adjusting his glasses while taking out notebooks and pens.
"It's not something one can simply explain fully," Skye noted, "It's something that Sakurai women consider as a true sign of their Love for whomever becomes their mate. But it will only happen when one of the opposite gender saves them from mortal peril, often from one the Sakurai is unaware of."
"Hm?" Vroon tilted his head, "That seems most complicated given Roll is a Zenkaiger and fights alongside us," he pointed out, "How has it not triggered yet?" he tilted his head.
"Because she knows she isn't in mortal peril because she's with all of you," Skye replied, "She's protected by her suit and by all of you as well. Her mental and spiritual selves think 'I am safe in this field of battle' because she has all of you and in turn she gives it her all to support all of you."
"Plus if anyone is saving our butts when things get dangerous, it's Kaito," Juran spoke up, "And the little lady already has a bond with him like a brother. So it sort of negates itself, doesn't it?"
"It does," Aphrodite replied, "Kaito is considered a Shield Brother to her, meaning her spiritual self and mental self see him as family, not Bondable."
"I swear, I am never going to fully understand your family, Mrs. Sakurai," Amy sighed, earning a giggle from Aphrodite and a small hug from her.
"Not many do, dear," Aphrodite admitted, "Now…we best hurry. Kai-chan's spotted the food court."
"FOOD COURT!" Kaito shouted as Sonic yelled in excitement, both dashing off at near equally amazing speed that Roll was not expecting.
"They're gonna return to us as warlords of the Food Court lands…" Juran declared as Roll chased them.
"Oh not again…" Amy sighed, "This is why we got banned from the Mall for a week…so many sales missed…"
"Ah, indeed. I remember Mitsuko-chan telling me of them getting banned from one for a month and they had to go to the one two towns over to get the needed things," Aphrodite noted, "Though speaking of shopping…" she held up a phone, showing an app, "Tell me more about this…'Amazon' site and why can I find such good deals."
"Oh right…last time you were on Earth…they didn't have online stores or delivery services." Amy blinked.
"It is a luxury we never knew we needed…" Magine added, "Less reason to leave the house, so dreams do come true."
"Truly now?"
"Mm!" Magine nodded, "You can order just about anything and they can bring it to your address!"
"Oh! How wonderful!" Aphrodite beamed.
'Hoo boy…' Skye thought, a drop of sweat going down the back of his head.
"One last time: do you all understand the plan?" Metal questioned, looking at the christened Onorengers.
"Yup," the red one nodded, "Guys?"
"So long as we can get this done fast…" the green one sighed.
"Long as I get to bust some heads," the Black one 'smirked'
"...Can we get a bite afterwards?" Yellow asked before Pink slapped him with her ponytail, "Ow!"
"Just focus on the plan…"
"Good…" Metal stated as he held a hand up, "Then begin."
"Oh yeah…" Black 'smirked' as he pulled out some bombs, "Bring the noise!"
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
"What…was that?" Juran asked.
"Aw…Just when I got my order…" Kaito whined before shoveling his meal up as fast as he could before running off, "Future Kaito's problem."
"Dang it, Kaito," Sonic sighed before eating his Chili-Dogs before anyone could blink and ran after him.
"Wait! Don't just run into danger alone!" Gaon shouted, running after them, before coming back and putting a helmet on Haseo's head, "It has built in ear protection!" he shouted as he ran off again.
"So much for our trip," Tangle sighed, quickly finishing her sub before she rushed off.
"I'm sure we can get this done and keep things flight worthy for all the people here," Roll assured.
"..." Whisper said nothing, looking down at the broken chopsticks in her hands before looking up at the steaming bowl of ramen before her, "...hah…" she sighed as she put the chopsticks down.
"Ugh…can't the Tojitendo take time off?" Magine groaned, putting down her giant cinnamon bun.
"Good luck, dearies," Aphrodite encouraged.
"I can't hear in this…" Haseo spoke up, motioning to the helmet before Aphrodite gave him a hug for a few moments, "...Oh. G-Good luck."
"What did she do?" Whisper quietly asked, looking at Roll.
"Oh, she told him what's happening," Roll explained.
"...With a hug?"
"Yes," Roll nodded before tilting her head, "Don't you know how to speak Hug?"
"..." Tails and Whisper traded looks.
"I stopped asking how…" Magine replied with a deadpan expression, "I think only Amy-chan has cracked this strange hug code."
"Hey. Hugs are a powerful thing," Amy argued, standing beside Roll.
"Hai!" Roll agreed as the two shared a high-five.
"Oi, oi…Let's get moving, you guys," Juran spoke, "Danger, remember?"
"Right!"
"And away ya go~!" Yellow called, tossing a cart vehicle away.
"Boom baby!" Black laughed as he tossed more bombs, resulting in more explosions and destroying multiple vehicles.
"Hmm…" Stacy sighed, sitting and watching them, "Well if this doesn't get their attention, I don't know what will."
"They will come…" Metal stated as he stood next to him, "The hedgehog responds when violence is occuring…"
"Wow…stalker much?"
"...Right on time," Metal stated as his optics turned, seeing the hedgehog resting on top of a lightpost.
"So what's the big game plan this time? Just here to cause destruction or to drag out little ol' me into a fight?" Sonic joked with a grin.
"Ha!" Red shouted as he shot up next to Metal and Stacy, "You would know...enemy of our masters!"
"...Who are you?" Sonic asked, making Red fall over.
"They're help," Stacy replied bluntly, "But not bad time," he looked at his Geartozinger, "I suppose from here on, everyone…act according to your instincts."
"WHOO!" Yellow cheered as he ran off, smashing through a wall in the process, "FOOD COURT, HERE I COME!"
"Wh-!? Yellow, get back here!" Red snapped as he shot up, "...THAT MEANS YOU TOO, PINK!"
"Aww…but there's a sale…" Pinkie pouted, about to sneak in through the hole.
"I don't give a damn! Just get ready for the other Zenkaigers!" Red barked.
"Zenryoku Zenkai!" Kaito shouted jumping in as he rolled forward to dropkicked Red; as he did, he pushed off him and landed on one knee before standing to turn towards Stacy.
"Zenkaiser."
"Stacy!"
With that, the two glared before rushing while aiming their changer guns forward, "Change Zenkai!/Ankoku Change!" With that, both pulled the triggers and ran forward with flashes of white and purple before punching each other across their helmets.
"Already going at it, huh?" Sonic chuckled…before Cobalt parried Metal Sonic's claws with his Geartlasher, "Can't say I can argue with that!"
"You look ridiculous in that," Metal Sonic stated.
"Hey! I look awesome, thank you very much!" Cobalt argued as everyone but Vroon ran out.
"Of course it's them," Tangle frowned before spotting the Onorengers minus Yellow, "Ah! They got new baddies with them!"
"Oh, I love her outfit and hair," Roll noted, looking at Pink.
"Focus," Juran scolded.
"Hey! Who are you guys?" Gaon demanded.
"And why are you taking our whole color coded bit!?" Tangle shouted, "Not Cool! We're the color coded super team!"
"So? I rather like my duds," Black huffed.
"I don't think we'll get anywhere with them…" Juran muttered.
"Gh!" Zenkaiser and Stacaesar grunted as they rolled along the ground before pushing the other away. The two then got up and began shooting at one another.
"Right time to fight!" Juran nodded, "Minna Change Zenkai!"
"Change Zenkai!" they all shouted rushing forward.
=ZENKAIGER~!=
"Hah!" Zenkai Juran roared as he clashed with Red, "You seem like you're infringing on our bit shonen!" he grunted, using his shield to push him away, "You should know not to copy successful celebrities!"
"Shut up! We're here to beat you, not replace you!" Red grunted, swinging his ax only for it to be deflected by Zenkai Juran's shield.
"Nice try!" Zenkai Juran grunted, swinging his sword to knock the ax down before swinging up and slashing him across the chest, "But everyone knows sword beats ax! You should have come at me with a lance!"
"Wha…what are you-gah!" Red cried as he was slashed across the chest again.
"Come on, fools! I ain't got all day!" Black shouted, using his ax to block Gaon and Onyx' blades.
"Vile works of mechanical evil!" Zenkai Gaon roared, swinging up with his claws, "How dare you ruin my adventures with my fluffy friends!"
"Boy do I look like I give a flying…" Black began before Onyx blasted him in the chest with her Wispon, making him grunt as he staggered back, "...oh. Oh I see how it is. Fine..you want to bring guns…" he paused before he pulled out several bombs, "I'll bring da boom!"
"Bombs?" Onyx blinked.
"Whisper-chan stay behind me!" Zenkai Gaon shouted as he raised his claws up, "Gaon Matanabi Ranbu!" he swung his claws sending out several energy slashes that bounced the bombs just as Black tossed them.
"Wait where…" Black looked up only for the bombs to land at his feet, "Huh?"
"Hmm?" Onyx tilted her head, "Did…he not arm them?"
"I think they might be stupid…" Gaon nodded as the two aimed with their Geartlinger and Wispon before shooting the bombs making them detonate.
"Yep…stupid." they nodded.
"Yare yare…" Green sighed before moving out of the way of Topaz' swing before he clashes his ax with her tonfa, "He left himself open with that…"
"What even are you guys?" Topaz grunted jumping back and twirling around her Geartlasher so the blade pointed forward, "Did the Tojitendo really make their own Super team…not sure if that's flattering…or offensive…"
"Oh please don't let REd hear you say that…" Green groan as he slinekd back to avoid a slash, "He'll go on and on about how 'flawed' your team is."
"Eh? Flawed?"
"YES FLAWED!" Red snapped as he blocked Juran's blade, "Why is the White one the leader?! It's always the Red!"
"Oh great you got him started…" Green groaned.
"And furthermore, why are there so many of you?! It's always five rangers!" Red complained.
"You need to calm down…" Zenkai Juran shook head before bashing Red upside the head with his shield, knocking him down with a thud, "Tangle-chan, just focus on fighting, we don't know what tricks these guys have yet." he called out as he spun around to block a swing from Red with his shield, "Just focus on trying to win so we can help Kaito and Sonic!"
"Feels like the Red guy has some leftover nonsense from that Super Badguy World from a while back…" Topaz muttered.
"That might be something the Bad Doctor did on purpose to annoy us." Zenkai Juran grunted.
"Yeah seems like something ol' Eggbutt would do!" Cobalt shouted as he flipped and clashed blades with Metal.
"I guess he got tired of us always ganging up on the One evil super monster!" Zenkai Magine grunted using her staff to block a swing from Pink.
"It does seem wiser…" Kurenai muttered, pushing Pink's weapon away before slashing her with her Geatlasher.
"Ha!" Pink shouted as she slashed back, causing their blades to clash, "Sorry sweety…only one of us looks better in a suit."
"I just wonder how they got so many similar ones…with the same gimmick…" Zenkai Magine muttered.
"That is…a good question," Vroon muttered just as he ran into the area.
"Hey guys, I'm back! I got a lot of…!" Yellow began as he walked back into the area, carrying a lot of food in his arms, "...oh…fight time already?"
"YES!" Red and Black snapped in unison.
"Oh…ok," Yellow nodded before Zenkai Vroon punched him, making him blink…before his eyes narrowed as he looked at him, "Grr…"
"...oh I do believe I made an error," Zenkai Vroon whispered before Yellow grabbed him with one hand, spinning him around before sending him crashing through a few display cars, "...I'm okay…" the airbags all went off, "Ah! How are they able to stuff these huge things into small spaces in these vehicles?!"
"Oh come on…" Zenkai Magine sighed as she tapped her Magine Stick to the ground, "Nu nu nu Magine! Shrink!" at that, Yellow flinched as he was reduced in size to the size of a small action figure.
"Oh?" Zenkai Vroon awed as he got free, went over, and picked up Yellow, "Magic is amazing…" he looked around before stuffing him into the glove box of the car he just got himself free from, "Don't go anywhere."
"Hey! Hey! Lemme outta here right dis instant, ya blue joik!" Yellow barked.
"GAH! IDIOTS THE LOT OF YOU!" Red snapped.
"You don't get to complain!" Juran shouted as he smacked him away with his shield.
"Why you…!" Red growled as he jumped back, "Fine then…I'll have to use my secret weapon!"
"Eh?!" Black exclaimed at that, "Yo red, isn't that too early t-"
"No! I will not be humiliated by a bunch of phonies that disrespect the art!" REd shouted as he held his hand up, energy beginning to form above him before it formed into a massive laser cannon, "Breaker Cannon ready!"
"Oh this is gonna suck…" Green sighed.
"Oh…That…That's kinda big," Juran noted, giving a small awkward chuckle, "Protect me, shield that turns into my stomach when I henkei."
"Huh…Haven't seen a laser cannon that big since Cass and me played that video game last week," Topaz noted.
"Shut it! Breaker Beam…" Red began before pulling the trigger, causing hte cannon to unleash a massive laser as it began to tear through the area, "FIRE!"
"Hmm?" ZenKaiser and StaCaesar blinked seeing the light, the two clashing their guns like melee weapons. The two, without even thinking, turned around and aimed before unleashing beams of white and purple energy that hit the laser…and bounced it into the sky where it exploded. The two nodded before turning back to one another as they began swinging at eachother again…leaving both their comrade teams utterly floored by how casually they just did that.
"Eh?" Red blinked.
"Eh?" the others all slowly looked to the two Leaders as they punched each other.
"If that beam had continued…we couldn't take off…" ZenKaiser grunted.
"It was annoying to me…" StaCaesar growled.
"Leave it to Kaito-nii to do something like that…" Kurenai sighed, shaking her head in a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
"...th…they….they deflected…the Breaker Beam…" Red whispered in disbelief as he dropped the cannon, "That…had enough power to wipe out a whole mountain top."
"To be fair, Kaito himself is boundless energy in human form…that Stacy kid can rival him…the fact the two of them are stronger just…makes sense…" Zenkai Juran muttered, "No Offense Shonen…but those two are White and Black for a reason…they are two extremes of the spectrum."
"Grrr!" the two growled as they each blocked a punch from the other and tried to overpower one another with pure strength, the ground around their feet cracking as they did.
"You…sure haven't lost your edge, Stacy!"
"Silence…This will be the day you fall, Zenkaiser!"
"No thank you…I have an extended-adopted family to find and reunite with!" ZenKaiser growled before slamming his helmet into StaCaesar's, making sparks fly.
"Then they can meet for your funeral!" StaCaesar growled before doing the same, making more sparks fly off their clashing helmets.
"My time isn't now…I still gotta find my parents…and kick Tojitendo out of our dimension!" Zenkaiser growled.
"Grr!" StaCaesar growled as sparks started coming off their hands.
"These guys ain't natural…" Black muttered.
"Kaito was tested. One hundred percent human," Gaon noted.
"Seriously?!" the enemy 'Sentai' all demanded in disbelief.
"Kaito really changes things…he's just a wild card~" Cobalt chuckled as he kicked Metal Sonic away, "Hmm…These human style long legs are a real blessing~" he laughed, "I never realized how useful it is to be so tall, but fighting you, Metal, shows me a lot. Don't get it twisted, now. I love my normal self…but being tall is all it's cracked up to be if you can turn it on and off."
"You are still inferior to me," Metal narrowed his optics, "You can change all you want…you can gain power all you want…But it will not change that I am the superior Sonic."
"Well, to be fair, I don't think I'm that much stronger even as a Zenkaiger! But now I got a really strong new team. And I'd love to hang out and fight you…but truth be told? My secret wish is to use this trip to find my old team," Cobalt pointed at Metal, "But if you want me to school you on why I'm the original but rocking a new shade of awesome Cobalt? Well…I don't mind showing ya!" he flipped up a Sentai Gear, "I gotta thank these Sentai guys somehow for letting me borrow their tricks."
=JU-NANA ZAN~! DAI~RANGER!=
The image of KibaRanger formed next to Cobalt as he flipped his sword upside down, the image going into him.
"Koshinsei!" Cobalt shouted, strumming his hand along the blade as if it were a guitar, "Hidare yamabiko!" At that, a powerful guitar riff came from his weapon as it blasted Metal Sonic, causing sparks to fly from his body as the soundwave spread out to the entire area as he continued strumming his Geartlasher, playing a heavy metal guitar solo in the process. This caused Metal Sonic to twitch and spark as the soundwaves penetrated his armor and went right for his delicate inner workings, the soundwave spreading out and affecting all of the Zenkaigers enemies as they held their heads in pain, "Gotta love powers that only hurt the bad guys~" Cobalt held his hands up in the rock-on hand sign before strumming his Geartlasher one last time.
"Nice!" Topaz laughed, pulling out a Sentai Gear from her buckle, "Almost forgot we could use these!"
=RYU~SOULGER!=
"Ah! T-Tangle-chan, be careful with that Sentai!" Kurenai warned as Topaz twirled the summoned Ryusouken in her free hand.
"Why? This is…oh hello, Mr. Green…" Topaz blinked as RyusoulGreen entered her…making her tense before she vanished in a blur, all their enemy Sentai suddenly sparked as slash marks formed along their bodies, "I…feel such a rush!" she cheered, skidding to a stop, "Again!"
"I take it there's a drawback?" Onyx asked.
"There was with me…then again…I kept switching the little keys that go into the sword," Kurenai replied.
"Magic keys?!" Topaz gasped as she looked at the blade and opened its jaw, "Oh~!"
"Roll…you may have slightly…kinda…" Onyx mumbled.
"I know~" Kurenai slumped as Topaz plugged a yellow 'key' into the 'jaws' and closed it before chomping it a few times.
=Kyo! Ryu! Soul! Soul! Kono Kanji! BiriBiri~!=
"Biribiri?" Topaz pondered before yelping as gold and silver armor resembling a spinosaurus formed over her torso, "OH~! I'm so shiny~!"
=I feel I should warn that those powers are very strong within the world of Ryusoulgers, and they often take a lot of practice to not blow things up with, tune!=
=Secchan…remember who you're talking to= Cassia spoke up.
=Oh right…=
"Whoo! Let's see what I can do!" Topaz cheered as she charged at Black, "Shiny Topazy away~!"
"Oh please…" Black muttered as he swung his weapon at Topaz, who swung her Ryusouken and caused both to collide…before he began to blabber rapidly and randomly as he lit up like a Christmas tree, "Blrblrrbbrbrbrlelrlbebebel!"
"Take that you jerk!" Topaz cheered as she spun around Black and smacked him on the rear with the flat side of both her swords, sending him flying into the air with a bolt of electricity, "Oh wait…wasn't he the Cranky Boom-Boom one?"
"Wah! I'm free!" Yellow shouted, growing back to full size and breaking free only for Black to land in his arms, "Huh? I smell…smoke…oh…" at that, multiple explosions sent them flying back and rolling along the ground, "...Still free…"
"Wow, I didn't even plan on that! Talk about lucky~!" Topaz cheered as the Ryusouken and armor vanished.
=That was a shocker!= Cassia laughed.
"...I think she's been hanging around Sonic-san too much…" Kurenai muttered.
"Agreed," Onyx deadpanned as she pulled out a Sentai Gear, "Work together?"
"Sure," Kurenai replied.
=HURRI~CANGER!=
"Eh?" Kurenai pondered as, instead of one of the trio, a pair of identical rangers in crimson or cobalt outfits with a small gold piece on their helmets resembling either a kabuto or kuwagata appeared.
=Oh! Those are the Denkōsekka Gouraiger, tune!= Secchan exclaimed before the two jumped into Kurenai and Onyx.
"Kage ni mukaite kage o kiri," Onyx declared.
"Hikari ni mukaite hikari o kiru," Kurenai added.
"Wha…so cool…" Topaz awed as she watched.
"Oh, I'm not liking the way they said that…" Green noted.
"O-M-G, Green. We've got this," Pink defended before turning to the two before yelping as she noticed both female rangers were gone, "Where did they…?"
"Chou Ninpo: Kage no mai!" At that, a pair of traditional Japanese screen doors formed as the shadows of Pink and Green could be seen, Kurenai and Onyx began dashing around striking the two from multiple angles at high speed. The two enemy Sentai-like warriors tried to swing back, but the two Rangers to jump over and slash down on the other, before Kurenai and Onyx both jumped and came in from the sides and kicked both into one another, their shadows jumping up before appearing behind Green and Pink and slashing them and sending them flying through the screen doors. The two Zenkaigers jumped out as they both held up different weapons in their hands, Onyx held a Kabuto beetle themed baster while Kurenai held a hand claw themed after stag beetle mandibles.
"Horn Breaker!" Onyx declared, shooting Pink several times.
"Stag Breaker!" Kurenai swung the weapon and struck Green several times before thrusting the weapon into his chest and sending him flying into Pink.
With that, Onyx and Kurenai jumped to stand side by side before they linked the weapons together, "Nijuuren Double Gadget!" they called out, "Fire!" they launched a massive ball of electrical energy as it slammed into Pink and Green, resulting in an explosion that sent them flying away.
"Seems these kids are wanting to go for some shock and awe," Juran chuckled.
"Catch!" Kurenai called as she tossed a Sentai Gear to him.
"Thanks!" Juran thanked as he inserted it into his gun and cranked the handle, firing just as Vroon, Magine, and Gaon walked over to him.
=MASK~MAN!=
Before them, five Sentai with intricate masks appeared. The red, pink, blue, and yellow ones turned and jumped into their respective Zenkaiger counterparts. Magine, Vroon, and Gaon yelped as they barely caught a large white and red cannon as Juran looked over his shoulder at the new large bulky backpack on his back, a black tube connecting it to the back to the cannon.
=Oh! That's the Shot Bomber, tune!= Secchan exclaimed =It was destroyed long ago by Kiros and Beam Doggler and had to be replaced with the Jet Cannon!=
"What's with the backpack?" Juran pondered.
=The Maskman team use their Aura Power to power their gear and weapons, tune! Charge your Aura power into the cannon to power it and fire it at your enemies, tune!=
"Aura Power…soka, it's like my youthful energy!" Zenkai Juran nodded, "I dig it! Let's give them a taste of our young spirits!"
"Most of us are young, you old fossil!" Zenkai Gaon barked.
"Charge Aura Power!" Zenkai Juran clapped his hands together before holding them out as bright red energy charged into the backpack before going up the tube and into the cannon, "Aim!"
"Target lock!" Zenkai Magine shouted, aiming at Red with the rest of his team behind him, "Ready?"
"Fire!" Zenkai Gaon and Vroon cheered.
"Oh this is not…" Red began before the Shot Bomber unleashed a beam at them, striking and unleashing a large explosion that sent them skyrocketing into the distance.
"What is this feeling?" the Tojitendo-made Sentai pondered, becoming a twinkle of light in the distant skies.
"Those idiots," Metal Sonic groaned.
"Hey, you think that's bad…" Cobalt chuckled as he pulled out a Sentai Gear, "Then you're gonna hate this."
=DENJI~MAN!=
"Just to warn ya, Metal…I pack a mean punch with these," Cobalt warned, banding his Denji Punch together, sending out sparks each time.
"Grr…" Metal Sonic growled as the two ran at each other and passed each other as they attacked at the same time.
The two blur blurs ran around as they clashed multiple times. They raced up a wall where Cobalt punched Metal, making him flip back through the air. Once more, two blurs ran about before charging one another as Metal Sonic kicked Zenkai Cobalt, knocking him off his feet for a moment. The two blue blurs ran around again before charging at one another as the two swung and passed each other with a loud sonic boom. Both had their hands held out. Zenkai Cobalt grunted as sparks came off his arm; but, after a moment, Metal Sonic flinched as his body began sparking before falling over as electricity surged off his body.
"What can I say, Metal? I love to shock folks," Cobalt joked.
"HedgGEgegGGEGGgeeeghogggggghgggeeggeghgh~!" Metal spasmed as his optics were flashing different colors.
"That really did some damage." Zenkai Juran noted as they all ran up to join Cobalt.
"After all the damage from the soundwave, most of his inner workings must have been broken and exposed, making the following electrical damage worsen it." Zenkai Vroon spoke, "Most clever Sonic-san, you really are amazing at destroying machines!"
"I know you meant that as a compliment…but wording makes it sound like I break stuff…" Cobalt chuckled.
"You did drop a tablet in the toilet…" Topaz muttered with a smirk.
"Dare I mention the blender?" Kurenai asked.
"...well ok I am a menace to machines…mainly Eggman's stuff," Cobalt muttered.
"Sonic-kun, I like you as a friend…demo-sa…please stay at least two meters away from me~" Zenkai Magine giggled.
"I think he was the one that chopped us apart the most for that Gattai…" Vroon muttered.
"Feels like a reverse Gaon," Juran added.
"Okay!" Cobalt threw his hands up, "I get it…I'm not good with machines…you don't gotta beat the point like a crooked nail…"
"If it means friendship with a fluffy friend, I will brave any curse towards machines!" Gaon gave a thumbs up.
"Oh come on…" Cobalt groaned, "Ah! Kaito!"
"Ah! Nearly forgot him!" Juran panicked.
"Where did they go!?" Topaz looked around.
"Uhm…they are fighting on a plane…" Onyx pointed as both ZenKaiser and StaCaesar were trading blows atop a plane.
"Ohh…I think that's our plane," Kurenai realized.
"It is," Onyx confirmed.
"...Don't damage that plane, you two! Or I swear I'll tie you both up in my tail and spin ya like tops a lot of times!" Topaz shouted.
"I think Kaito-nii would enjoy it," Kurenai noted, a drop of sweat going down the back of her head.
"I know I would," Cobalt chuckled, tapping his sword on his shoulder.
"...just what the hell are you guys?!" Red snapped.
"BWAH?!" everyone jumped, spinning around to see the fake Ranger.
"How did you…?" Magine gawked, "You were twinkles in the sky!"
"...Did you forget we have teleportation technology?" Red deadpanned.
"Considering we don't know who you guys are supposed to be? Nope," Cobalt bluntly stated.
"...know what? Fine! WE didn't get to do our pose so…" Red began as he snapped his fingers, him and his returning team quickly turning their backs to them."We fight for Evil!"
"We live for disorder!"
"We like what we do…"
"We eat what we like!"
"We wear the trendiest clothes."
"We live to serve the Tojitendo Dynasty!" the five declared.
"Bukiko Sentai…" the red one began, the five spinning their halberds like experts before posing.
"Onorenger!" they declared as a multi-colored explosion went off behind them.
"And thank you for the opening!" Cobalt smirked behind his helmet as he and the rest of the Zenkaigers prepared their respective finishers.
=HERO~! SUPER~ ZENKAI TIME!=
"Wait, what?"
"Ano sa Shonen…did you think we have the patience to fight you guys two times? Just be glad we have respect to let you finish the bit…" Zenkai Juran chuckled.
"Do ours take that long?" Zenkai Magine turned to Topaz.
"It doesn't feel like it…I mean don't we all say it at the same time?" Topaz tilted her head.
"It's…rather anomalous…" Onyx muttered.
"I have not found the answer for it yet." Zenkai Vroon nodded in agreement.
"Well it was nice to have new enemies." Kurenai added.
"Not that nice…ice them…" Zenkai Gaon frowned as he aimed, "This world doesn't need more machines…return to wonderful warm nature."
"...Freaking hippie is brutal, man," Black whispered as the symbol of the Zenkaigers floated down behind the team.
The four Kikainoids all fired a shot from their Geartlingers before the Mobians swung their Geartlashers, sending out an energy slash from them. The slashes slammed into the bullets and increased the speed of the bullets. The attacks all collided with the Onorengers and once more they were blasted back, this time slamming into Metal as they all flew into a Tojitendo portal that closed shortly after.
"AND DON'T COME BACK!" Gaon shouted, shaking a fist at where the portal had been.
"Oh they totally will be back 'cause they didn't go kaboom," Topaz sighed, "I don't want such lame rivals…why couldn't we get something cool like a team of flowery Yokai kunoichi, or digital clones who look like oldschool edgy comic book characters…"
=...=
"...Secchan…" Kurenai began.
=It's amazing how accurate she can be at times, tune=
=Whuzza?= Cassia pondered.
"Incompetent…the lot of them," Stacaesar sighed, shaking his head.
"Yosha! My team is the better team!" Zenkaiser cheered.
"But I'm better than you," Stacaesar replied before kicking Zenkaiser, knocking him over.
"Gh…well I never claimed to be the best member of the team…I'm just kinda the leader…but I can throw down with you, that's for sure," Zenkaiser grunted while flipping back up.
"I will end this with you," Stacaesar began cranking his Geartozinger, making the barrel charge with dark purple and black energy.
"Ah…I can't keep this up all day! I need to catch this flight…" Zenkaiser pointed to the plane.
"Wait…this plane?" Stacaesar paused, "As in this is literally your flight? Are you mentally damaged…are you legally incompetent?"
"...Well, actually, that's something we have not had me tested for…" Zenkaiser muttered as he then yelped as he grabbed Stacaesar's arm and began forcing him to aim up, "Ah! No! Don't shoot the plane~!"
"Oh you have got to be kidding me," Stacaesar growled.
"Ah! What do we do?" Magine pondered.
=Oh! Magine, use the Sentai Gear for Mahou Sentai Magiranger, tune!= Secchan suggested.
"Here ya go," Cobalt offered the mentioned Gear to Magine.
"Ah! R-Right!" Magine nodded, quickly loading the Sentai Gear into the Geartlinger and cranked it.
=MAGI~RANGER!=
The Magirangers appeared before they hopped into Magine. Her eyes flashed for a moment before holding up her staff.
"Magi Majuna Jiruma!" Magine shouted, sending out a blast of magic at the two struggling with one another…before they vanished.
"Ah! Where did they…?" Juran began before everyone jumped as a large purple beam shot into the air in the distance.
=Oh thank goodness…= Secchan sighed in relief.
=What was that?= Cassia asked.
=Magine used the knowledge of the Magirangers to create a teleportation spell with the Maji syllables, tune= Secchan explained.
"What location did they get sent to?" Zenkai Juran asked.
=Checking= Secchan replied =A mile away from here in a small forest, tune=
"Just a mile…" Zenkai Vroon nodded before they heard something and turned to see both of them running back while still fighting, "Mmm…it wasn't far enough…"
"Kaito really has met his physical match with this Stacy kid…" Zenkai Juran muttered, "They just keep fighting and fighting…shouldn't we help?"
"...It wouldn't feel right…" Cobalt chuckled, earning a few stares, "Kaito had faith in us to win our fights. I think the fact he has a rival he's trying so hard to connect with by fighting them…Maybe we shouldn't get involved unless things get bad." he explained his view of it, "I know Kaito would jump in to save my bacon only if it looked like I was done for, but he trusted me to handle Metal like it was no big deal."
"Aw man~" Topaz whined, rubbing the back of her head, "I feel all howahowa now with the belief you've got in Kaito and, from how ya worded it, the way he trusts in us in our own fights, but also guregure."
=She's really gotten into the Jan-go, tune…= Secchan muttered.
=At least she only does it when suited up?= Cassia assured.
"Besides, how much longer can they even keep fighting…?" Zenkai Juran paused, "I heard myself…They could fight for days on end with no food or sleep…"
"The stamina on that guy~" Cobalt chuckled.
"Hai, hai," Kurenai nodded in agreement, not one of the others bothering to hide the fact they were all staring at the speedsters of the team.
"So what do we do? Just…take off and take Kaito with us?" Zenkai Magine giggled.
"..." the others looked at one another and then back at Magine.
"...Nununu?" Magine tilted her head.
"Well…we wouldn't be interrupting the duel between rivals if we kidnap our Team Leader and escape," Topaz offered.
"If we don't…we'll never leave Japan," Onyx spoke, "And the Tojitendo are somewhat obsessed with us…At the very least, if we have them follow us across the globe, we could mitigate the damage still."
"Logically…our only option to win this day's battle, and make it out of the country in time to make it to America and find the rest of the Sakurai family…would be a drastic escape plan of cartoon proportions," Zenkai Vroon added, "Kaito will understand we did it for a good reason, so he won't be upset. The only problem is Stacy…"
"But he was gonna follow us anyway…this way he'll know where to go," Zenkai Juran added.
"Great idea, Magine-chan!" Kurenai beamed, grabbing the Pink Ranger's hands with her own.
"...Nununu?!" Magine gawked.
"I'll go get everyone on the plane!" Cobalt cheered as he vanished in a blue blur.
"Roll, warn your Papa and Mama," Zenkai Juran spoke, "I'll go make sure our luggage is loaded and we're fueled up!"
"Hai~!" Kurenai replied with a salute, following Cobalt as a crimson blur.
"This is happening…I gave an idea…" Zenkai Magine muttered as spirals of confusion could be seen in her green eyes.
"Ah, wait up! I'll help, Juran!" Zenkai Vroon called as he ran after him.
"Hey! Wait up for me! You don't touch the girl luggage, boys!" Topaz called as she picked up Onyx and ran off, the latter stiff as a board from the surprise grab.
"Ah! No! Don't look at my luggage!" Magine panicked, quickly snapping out of her daze, as she followed.
"Hah!" Zenkaiser grunted while kicking Stacaesar away; he spun around and swung his leg to kick the Geartozinger away, making its wielder shoot wildly and pepper a wall with bullet holes. He twirled his Geartlinger around before aiming and shooting just as Stacaesar took aim to fire again, their bullets hitting one another mid-air causing a wall of sparks and explosions.
"You're rather tenacious," Stacaesar noted.
"Hey! I'll have you know I've gotten my shots for that!" Zenkaiser declared.
"I said tenacious, not tinnitus!"
"To be fair, I'm a good fighter! No one ever said I had to be smart to be athletic," Zenkaiser chuckled at that as he rubbed the back of his helmet.
"I suppose natural talent does explain how you beat the Tojitendo so far…that and literal dumb luck…" Stacaesar sighed, shaking his head.
"Hehehe…see? We can talk like people!" Zenkaiser chuckled.
"Don't get it wrong. I still want to kill you…all I see when I look at you is naivete incarnate, and the way you talk just pisses me off!" Stacaesar growled as he gripped the side of his helmet in frustration,
"I get that a lot," Zenkaiser admitted, shrugging while tilting his head in a 'what can ya do' manner, "When I was still in school, Yatchan got called in a lot because of that."
"Why is it so hard for you to grasp that we are not alike…Why do you keep talking like I will befriend you?!" Stacaesar snapped.
"Heh…" Zenkaiser scratched at where his nose would be under his helmet, "I know you don't like me saying it…but I really am trying to understand you. I get your life was harder…but we both know what it's like to lose a Kaachan…" he stated, "The difference is you know what happened and all I have is faith. Sometimes that little faith is all that helps me smile, but…I guess you have it harder…harder than I can ever relate to or understand…but even still, I can understand some of you…"
"All you speak in is nothing but platitudes and nonsense…" Stacaesar shook his head.
"Plat…Platypus?" Zenkaiser sheepishly tried to repeat.
"I literally grew up in hell…How am I more educated than someone who had the chance to attend school…?" Stacaesae couldn't help but ask, "Is the human education system truly so broken and failed?"
"Well, I mean, I did pass highschool…" Zenkaiser replied with a very annoyed tone at the memories.
"Ah, I guess that explains it…" Stacaesar replied with a similar tone.
=Um…Kaito? I know you're having fun and all fighting your Echo Fighter and all…= Cassia noted =But, uh…=
=Your plane's leaving without ya, tune= Secchan summed up for the younger pronghorn.
"Bwah!?" Zenkaiser shouted, turning around and looking towards the airport to see the plane starting to move down the runway, "AAAHHH!" he panicked, slapping the sides of his helmet.
=Hurry, Kaito, hurry! You're on the most stress-inducing part of any game: the time trials!= Cassia cheered.
"Gomen, Stacy! I have to go!" Zenkaiser shouted as he moved to try and run only for gunshots to cut off his path, "Bwah!"
"If you think I'm so considerate to let you leave…you are a fool," Stacaesar sighed, "I will beat you here and now. Afterwards, the others can deal with the Tojitendo's nonsense."
"No way! I'm getting on that plane! I need to find family!"
"Hmph…Why are you so dedicated to a family you share no blood with?" Stacaesar asked.
"..." Zenkaiser took a moment to process Stacaesar's words, and realized several things all at once, "Ah…I suppose to someone who only had a Kaachan he loved, and who's genetic father is Barashitara…the term 'family' must just be those you share blood with…" he spoke, "I guess you really didn't get to know the feeling of knowing you had family even if they are family in spirit. But Roll and her family…are my family, even if it's just lip service…" he looked down, "I don't share blood with them…but I love them like family…and they have a chance to all be together. I guess they don't need me there to be happy…"
"..." Stacaesar lowered his weapon.
"So even if I need to stay here and fight you…if I have to fight all of Tojitendo…that's just what I'll do for them, cause to me they are family!" Zenkaiser declared, only to flinch as Stacaesar turned and walked off.
"...My Geartozinger is low on power…I suppose I'll have to recharge and face you another time Zenkaiser…" he walked on towards a portal, "But don't think it won't be soon…the moment that plane touches down….I'll be waiting for the next battle."
"Stacy…" he spoke.
"I still think you're stupid and this by no way means I am showing you sympathy…if anything…it's a pity you're such a fool," he replied, "Try not to die before I kill you." with that, he entered the portal and vanished.
"..." Zenkaiser nodded, "I'll be ready for you, Stacey."
=Um…Kaito? The plane, tune?=
"Gah! Right!" Kaito yelped as he pulled out his EX Gear and jumped onto it, "Fun air-powered board, don't fail me now!"
"Okay, let's go over it one last time before we fully takeoff," Skye noted, sitting between Aphrodite and Haseo in one row with Roll sitting beside Sonic by the window in the row beside them, "You three took your airsickness medicine?"
"We have, dear," Aphrodite assured.
"Okay, because if you didn't, you vomit away from me," Skye advised, earning an annoyed look from Aphrodite, "Eh-heh-heh…er…oh! Sonny, ever hear about my girls and how not one of them learned to crawl right as babies?"
"Say what?" Sonic asked.
"Tou-san~" Roll whined, starting to blush.
"Oh come now, it's fun!" Skye chuckled.
"You and your sisters were all adorable in how you got to walking," Aphrodite giggled.
"My favorite bit was when you and Maymay went from rolling to the bum shuffle."
"Bum shuffle?" Sonic held back a laugh as Roll paled.
"Yep. They were shufflin' all over on their bums!" Skye snickered.
"T-Tou-san~!" Roll whined, tugging her right ear as she started blushing.
"It sounds too cute~" Gaon cooed from another row…before grumbling to himself as he looked away from Juran, whom he had been assigned to sit beside, "Unlike this spot…"
"You probably shuffled backwards," Juran noted.
"Silence, you rusty bucket of bolts…" Gaon complained.
"Why was Roll-chan shuffling smelly folks?" Vroon whispered to Magine.
"Iie, iie. She scooted about on her behind as a baby," Magine corrected.
"Why would she do that?" Vroon asked.
"Eh…maji….have you never seen the adorable videos of human babies learning to move?" Magine tilted her head.
"How horrible," Amy shook her head, "We'll need to correct it once we land."
"This feels rather backwards…" Vroon blinked.
"No, that was the girls when they moved from bum shuffling," Skye snickered.
"From how you guys always talked about Kaito being some mass of pure chaos given living form, I figured Roll was a perfect little child," Sonic chuckled, Roll covering her face with her tail as a mortified Ayane was bribing Tails with mints to hide her face in his namesakes, "Now I learn she was just a normal goofy little girl once. And not this poised, refined Ninja girl we all know."
"Ha!" Aphrodite laughed, "Oh the stories my husband and I can tell you about our four adorable kittens. Like Haseo-chan when he was four and the magic feather."
"Magic feather?"
"It was an eagle feather he found, so we convinced him it was a magic feather that made things super heavy or super light when he said 'heavy' or 'light' and pointed at them," Skye chuckled, patting his son's head, "He was also the only baby of the family that learned how to crawl correctly before learning to walk."
"Correctly?" Tails repeated.
"Maymay and Ayay crawled backwards," Skye explained, "My mother-in-law told us to drip some olive oil on their knees…but that only resulted in them sliding all over, giggling and laughing like the babies they were."
"Wow…here I figured she was a ninja baby…turns out she was totally normal before the ninja training," Sonic giggled.
"Hey did Kaito get on?" Tangle asked Whisper, the latter trying to open a pack of airplane peanuts.
"Mmm…I saw him run after and beside the plane…he grabbed the landing gear and climbed in…so…"
"HAH!" Zenkaiser's hand burst through the floor and grabbed Sonic's leg, making him scream in a high pitched tone due to surprise.
"?!" Whisper ripped the bag in two, sending her peanuts into the air where her Wisps quickly caught them all…and presented them to Yacker, who adopted an annoyed look and flew over and nestled onto Haseo's head.
"That felt like karma for picking on the lady…" Juran noted as Sonic was hyperventilating from the sudden scare. Up ahead in the hall, a panel opened as Zenkaiser poked out before reverting to Kaito.
"AHA! I told you it was possible to sneak in from the landing gear!" Kaito shouted to no one in particular.
"No, yeah. Kaito was a crazier kid…" both Sakurai parents nodded.
"Plane ride Zenkai!" Kaito shouted as he walked over and took a seat, "Sa World prepare yourself. Goshikida Kaito is exploring the WORLD!" he then clapped his hands together, "This must be a Multiverse First! A Sentai actually traveling the world!"
"..." Skye wisely looked away from Kaito, whistling off-key.
"What did I miss?" Kaito asked.
"Roll bum shuffled as a baby," Tangle giggled, "I don't blame her. I shuffled on mine as a baby, too!"
"Tangle-chan, why~?"
"What? Just sharing some childhood memories," Tangle chuckled.
"Like the time you got your tail caught on that bull in the chinashop?" Roll countered.
"Gh?!" Tangle tensed at that, "...I-I thought it was a lightpost…"
'This is going to be an awesome trip ' Sonic thought.
From the very back of the plane the bathroom door opened as a pair of glimmering goggle lenses peered out. The hushed maniacal laugh of one Dr. Eggman escaped from the cracked open door. He laughed as the Zenkaigers relaxed in their seats.
"Yes…you relax, get comfortable…cause you won't escape me, Hedgehog…Zenkaiser…hahaha…I will chase you to the ends of this world~" he closed the door once more and flipped the sign to 'occupied' by locking the door.
