The night of the adventure in Vega (See Kamen Rider LL Chapter 43), Sakura was at home in her room on her computer. "NANI?!" Akari, Himawari, and Tsubaki, who were on video chat, asked in shock upon hearing what Sakura had just explained to them. "It's true! If it weren't for Cerberion, I would have been an Onee-chan by now!" Sakura said in tears before crying out loudly. "I can't believe this! As if killing Oba Sora, Oji Daigo, and Kenta wasn't bad enough! Did Cerberion even know about that?!" Akari asked. "I don't think it matters. Hell's Watchdog has never been one to care about the details, even if he knew Sakura-chan's mother was expecting, he probably wouldn't have cared." Brachios said behind Akari. That made Sakura cry even harder upon hearing that. "Oh, sorry about that." Brachios said.

This made Akari, Himawari, and Tsubaki as well as their respective boyfriends Zensuke, Battataro, and Tensaito to feel very sorry for Sakura. "It's okay Brachios-san. It's just, when you and Gracilus-san mentioned how ruthless Cerberion is, well you get the idea." Sakura admitted. "Gracilus? One of General Kabuto's cousins? You've met him?" Brachios asked in surprise. "Yeah, in fact, he and Bufoam-san are now on our side, they're both hiding out with Toadus-san, Gorf-san, Andros-kun, and Phixia-chan." Sakura explained. "Brachios-san, who exactly are Gracilus and Bufoam?" Zensuke asked in confusion. "Gracilus is a Five Horned Rhinoceros Beetle Animarius, and one of General Kabuto's cousins, Bufoam is a Cane Toad Animarius and Master Toadus' brother." Brachios explained. "Master Toadus has a brother? We never knew that!" Akari said.

"Yeah, it was a surprise to us as well." Sakura said. "Oh, and speaking of surprises, you remember my cousins Benjiro and Yui?" Himawari asked. "Yes, of course!" Sakura said. "Why do you ask?" She asked. "Well, I just found out that their family." Himawari said. "As well as my cousin Subaru and his family." Tsubaki said. "Are planning on moving to the US, specifically Great Lakes City!" Himawari explained. "Eh?! Seriously?!" Sakura asked in surprise. "Yes, Seriously! In fact, Benjiro is also bringing his girlfriend Hozumi-chan with him! Same thing with Subaru's twelve-year-old Onii-chan Katashi bringing his own girlfriend Niyuki-chan!" Tsubaki explained. "Well, I'll be sure to let Ronnie Anne-chan know about that." Sakura said before realizing something. "Wait, aren't they all on your girls' fathers' side of the families? As in the sides that are part Kitsune and Tanuki?" She asked.

"Yes, they are, though Yui and Subaru have yet to gain their own ears and tails, due them being eight and six, respectively!" Himawari explained. "But Benjiro and Katashi are different stories." Tsubaki said as her and Himawari's own ears and tails popped out. "Especially since, in addition to the ears and tail, Katashi also inherited the male Tanuki's big kintama, if you know what I mean!" She added, much to Sakura's shock. Sakura then chuckled. "Here's hoping this fact doesn't inspire Lujuria into doing any foul play, if you know what I'm saying!" She said. "Yeah, you have told us about her before during our previous chats! What a total Josei no Hentai (Female Pervert)!" Himawari said in annoyance. "Yeah, and that soldier of hers, Gremlock is even worse! I still can't believe he was the reason Nyansipo-kun's potion failed!" Aika complained from the doorway.

"NANI/WHAT?!" Himawari, Tsubaki, Battataro, Tensaito, Akari, Zensuke, and Brachios asked shock. "I know, crazy, right? But look at the bright side, Aika-chan, now you, Atea-chan, and Aoife-chan have those kawaii babies!" Sakura said. "That's the only good thing about this situation!" Aika said. "While I'm surprised to find out that you're a teen mom now, Aika-chan, I still can't believe that that you and Tomoki-kun have survived the plane crashes you and your families were in!" Akari said. "Yeah, thank goodness. Just wish our parents could have survived as well." Aika said. "Especially since I actually witnessed my own parents being killed in front of me by Nyuvwrath after they survived our plane crash!" Tomoki said in sadness as he appeared in the room. Brachios groaned at the mention of the multi headed serpent's name. "And it turns out that a different Animarius caused the plane crash that I was in, one named Akampulse!" Aika said, making Brachios groan again. "Sorry, Brachios-san, it sounds like you're not too happy about hearing their names." Sakura said.

"Yeah, I never really liked those guys! Akampulse was cocky and arrogant in addition to being murderous while Nyuvwrath was rather sadistic in making his enemies fear him a lot before he kills them!" Brachios said. "Fortunately, they've both been taken care of." Sakura said. "That's a relief!" Brachios noted. "It really is a shame your mom died pregnant, Sakura-chan, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm sure you would have made an awesome Oneechan." Akari said, Himawari and Tsubaki nodding in agreement. "Arigato, Akari-chan, Hima-chan, Tsu-chan! By the way, we had managed to get Cerberion's bandolier of orbs containing the souls of those he has killed, with one of those orbs containing my ancestor Naturia herself!" Sakura said, much to shock and surprise of those on the vid chat. "Unfortunately, as long as Cerberion exists, they're trapped in there." Sakura added, looking at the bandolier hanging on her wall.

That made everyone groan in disappointment, especially Brachios. "How do they think we feel?!" A random voice belonging to a spirit trapped in one of the orbs called. "Yeah! Some of us here aren't even human! In fact, some of us are actually fallen victims of the planets that King Draco and his Empire had conquered before coming to Earth!" Another voice called out. This made everyone cringe. "Yeah, it's that bad! By the way, Brachios-san, we also discovered a very shocking revelation regarding how Kabuto became General of the Insect Army in the first place!" Sakura said. "Really? What is it?" Brachios asked. "Apparently, General Kabuto admitted to killing his uncle, the previous Insect Army general and Gracilus' father, usurping the title!" Sakura explained.

That made Brachios gasp in shock. "Kabuto killed Chiron?! I knew something bad must have happened to Chiron when Kabuto became General, but I never figured out how or why!" Brachios said in shock. "Who's Chiron?" Zensuke asked. "He was the original leader of the Insect Army, as well as Gracilus's father and Kabuto's uncle, long before King Draco rose to power! He was a wise and just leader, not to mention that he and Master Toadus were old friends and fellow elders! When Kabuto became the Insect Army's General, I had a suspicion that something awful had happened to Chiron, though I hadn't figured out how that happened, until now!" Brachios explained. "But, why would Kabuto kill his own uncle?!" Akari asked in shock. "Apparently, from what that Kabutomushi Animarius had said, the reasons why Kabuto did that, besides lusting for power, was because he was jealous that Chiron wanted Gracilus-san to be his successor instead of him, even though he was constantly insisting on becoming Genetic himself!" Sakura said. That made Brachios rather appalled and outraged.

"Yeah, Gracilus-san didn't like that either." Sakura said. "In fact, when Kabuto admitted to killing Chiron, it made Gracilus-san so mad that he actually went fought against him with nothing but his horns and even had Kabuto sent crashing into a wall!" She added, taking Brachios by surprise. "He must have been mad, Gracilus was never the biggest fan of fighting." Brachios said. "Yeah, Gracilus-san did mention that he never really liked fighting, especially since Kabuto have always bullied him for that very reason! Anyway, the moment that Gracilus stood up against Kabuto was all that it took for Bufoam to turn against General Terriblis!" Sakura said. "Needless to say, he was not happy about it." She added. "Serves them right!" Himawari said. "Although, I can't help but wonder. With all these Animarius defecting, I wonder if there will ever be a Pecadiablo defecting?" Tsubaki said. That Sakura a bit skeptical. "That's honestly a good question, Tsu-chan." She said.

"I mean, these are demons that were never originally peaceful beings to begin with!" Sakura added. "But still though, I'll have to talk to AkaRed-san about the possibility." She said. "By the way, Hima-chan, Tsu-chan, is there anything else you want to talk about before we end this chat?" Sakura asked. "Yeah, what exactly is this Gremlock character like and how exactly is he the reason why Nyansipo-kun's potion had failed and also how Aika-chan, Atea-chan, and Aoife-chan got pregnant with their respective boyfriends babies in the first place?" Himawari asked. "Well, it turns out that Gremlock snuck into Aya-chan's village undetected and then went and sabotaged Nyansipo's potion by simply switching out the pomegranate juice that was meant to be one of the potion's ingredients with cranberry juice, which practically ruined the whole recipe and led to that whole pregnancy incident in the first place!" Sakura explained.

That made everyone groan in annoyance. "Yeah, and poor Nyansipo-kun thought it was his mistake!" Aika said. "Can't say I blame him for feeling that way!" Tensaito noted. "Man, how did this Gremlock even manage to get into Aya-chan's village undetected, considering that you told us that most of the women there have aura-reading abilities that could have easily detected him?" Tsubaki asked. "Apparently, from what Aya-chan found out from his female clone Gremelda, who was possessing Abena-chan, Gremlock not only has super speed, extreme agility, invisibility, and time freezing powers, but he also has the ability to cloak his own aura, which prevents even people with aura-reading powers from detecting his presence!" Sakura explained. That made everyone facepalm in frustration. "Yeah, he's that clever! Heck, aside from those aforementioned powers, he also has the ability to place subliminal hypnosis spells on opposite-sex couples, whether it be directly by using his eyes or by placing said spells on random objects, in order to have said couples make babies with each other without their own knowledge! Heck, Gremlock actually managed to hypnotize Azalee-chan and Aden-kun's cousin Bastion-kun and his girlfriend Genevieve-chan, along with their friends Silas-kun, his girlfriend Matilda-chan, Atticus-kun, his girlfriend Thea-chan, Cyrus-kun, his girlfriend Arabella-chan, Jude-kun, and his girlfriend Eloise-chan, into making babies with each other after he placed a hypnosis spell on a puberty education video that they were watching in their classroom! Plus, as we have recently learned earlier today before and after the wedding, it turns out that Gremlock had managed to somehow end up on Vega a couple of months ago, though we don't know how yet, and then placed a hypnosis spell on Amata-sempai and Mikono-sempai directly through his eyes, which caused Mikono-sempai to end up becoming pregnant with Amata-sempai's baby!" Sakura explained, much to everyone's shock.

"That raises the question, how many worlds has he been to?" Zensuke asked. "That's honestly a good question, Zensuke-kun. If we know Gremlock has been to Vega, who's to say he hasn't been to other worlds? And we know there are various ways to travel to other worlds, Shin-kun's Aurora Curtain, however AkaRed-san does it, that Dimension Hopper thing Shockwing has, and natural rifts." Sakura noted. "My best guesses would be either through those natural rifts or from some entirely different method that we don't even know of yet!" She added, making everyone else facepalm at that. "Well, that certainly doesn't help much!" Brachios noted. "Yeah, it is a bit worrying!" Sakura said before she suddenly got a troubling thought. "Uh, Hima-chan, Tsu-chan, please tell me that your cousins Benjiro and Katashi haven't gotten their respective girlfriends pregnant, have they?" Sakura asked in worry, to which Himawari and Tsubaki, along with their respective boyfriends, gulped nervously and sweated bullets. "Uh... Actually..." The four said nervously. "They have gotten their girlfriends pregnant, haven't they?!" Sakura asked in realization after figuring out her friends facial expressions, to which Himawari, Battataro, Tsubaki, and Tensaito sighed and said "Hai!" in defeat, causing Sakura, Tomoki, and Aika to facepalm while Zensuke, Akari, and Brachios gasped in shock. "Mou! Why didn't you all tell me about this sooner? And how did this even happen to begin with?!" Sakura asked in annoyance. "Well, you see, a few months ago, when Benjiro, Hozumi-chan, Katashi, and Niyuki-chan were out on a double date at an amusement park, the weather was light cloudy, until it started pouring heavy rain, which made the four of them drenched! So, in order to find shelter from the rain and dry off while waiting for the rain to stop, the four of them ended up going into a nearby abandoned building in order to dry off and wait until the weather clears up. As soon as they got in and settled down, they all saw sort of strange shadow jump up in front of them and flashed it's eyes at them, causing Benjiro, Hozumi-chan, Katashi, and Niyuki-chan to suddenly black out!" Himawari explained. "By the time they have gotten back to their senses, they all freaked out upon seeing each other without their clothes on and realizing that they are no longer virgins, though Hozumi-chan and Niyuki-chan were bit shocked and awed when they saw their respective boyfriends Kitsune and Tanuki ears and tails for the first time! Of course, after that incident, they chose not to tell anyone about this, not even their families, especially since Hozumi-chan and Niyuki-chan figured that they would be okay and wouldn't have to worry about any accidental pregnancies due to them not having their first periods yet! Unfortunately, it wasn't until a few weeks later, when Batta-kun, Hima-chan, Ten-kun, and I had caught Hozumi-chan and Niyuki-chan throwing up uncontrollably, due to morning sickness, and confronted our cousins about the matter, that they all confessed the truth to us and then told their families, which shocked them to the core, to say the least! As for why we didn't tell anyone else about this, including you, well, it's because Benjiro, Hozumi-chan, Katashi, and Niyuki-chan were rather scared, especially considering how judgemental some people are towards underage pregnancies and such, not to mention they were worried about how people would react if they find out about Benjiro and Katashi being part-Kitsune and part-Tanuki, respectively!" Tsubaki explained, much to Sakura's shock and frustration. (Once Again Hallucigenia77's Input, I Honestly Don't Know What Goes On In Their Head)

"Mou!" She said in irritation before sighing. "Say, you said something about a shadow that flashed it's eyes at your cousins and their girlfriends, right? Amata-sempai and Mikono-sempai described such a shadow before their own accidental pregnancy, which must mean that shadow must have been Gremlock!" She said in realization. "Mou!" Aika said in frustration. "That Gremlock must be slipperier than an eel and sneakier than a weasel!" She complained. "Well when they get here, we'll make sure they're welcome. I mean, with Ciannan-kun who's literally part leprechaun, and my partial fairy DNA, there's really no room for any judgement." Sakura said with a chuckle. "That's good to know!" Himawari said in relief. "We'll let our cousins know about this as soon as we can!" Tsubaki said. "Arigato! By the way, are Hozumi-chan's family and Niyuki-chan's family coming along with their respective boyfriends' families too?" Sakura asked, causing Himawari, Tsubaki, Battataro, and Tensaito to get saddened a little bit. "Unfortunately, no! Both Hozumi-chan's parents and Niyuki-chan's parents have died in a forest fire a few days ago!" Himawari said in sadness. "The only immediate surviving family members they have left are Hozumi-chan's younger brother Yasu and Niyuki-chan's younger brother Akimitsu and younger sister Sonomi, who are also coming with Benjiro's family and Katashi's parents to America as well!" Tsubaki said in equal sadness, causing everyone to gasp in shock. "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry! I really didn't know! How could this have happened?!" Sakura asked in shock and horror. "We don't know! Hozumi-chan's parents and Niyuki-chan's parents were both firefighters and when they, along with a few other firefighters, went into the middle of the blaze to try and stop the fire from spreading, they, for whatever reason, didn't come back, and it wasn't until the fire was finally put out that the authorities found their bodies, which looked like they were all burned directly to a crisp! Needless to say, Hozumi-chan, Niyuki-chan, and their younger siblings were devastated when the news got to them!" Tensaito explained. "While they were fortunate that Benjiro's family and Katashi's were given the right by Hozumi-chan's parents and Niyuki-chan's parents as their legal guardians, it doesn't make things any better for Hozumi-chan and Niyuki-chan and their siblings, since the death of their parents still shook them to their core!" Battataro explained. "How awful!" Tomoki said in horror. "My thoughts exactly!" Brachios said. "Well, it's getting late here, so unfortunately, we'd better sign off." Sakura said. "Yeah, you're right, Sakura-chan! Sorry that you heard all of that!" Himawari said in apology.

"No, it's alright, talking to you guys has helped me get my mind off...other things." Sakura said, her friends and cousin cringing upon realizing what she was talking about. "Anyway, hope to talk to you again soon! Ja nee!" She said. "Ja nee!" They all said, signing off.

Later the next day, at the Kendall Apartment...

Shockwing was looking at the 18 unopened jars of demons that he and Iracundo had stolen from the O'Rourkes to figure which of them contains a Star of Death. "I still can't believe they sealed away Berserkergor!" Belphesnore complained irritably. "Now, not only can I no longer transform into a Death Beast, but I can't even produce my Sin Mist anymore!" He added in complaint. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, you've complained about it 1,000 times!" Shockwing complained. "Seriously, you need to take a chill pill, as the humans would often say it!" He added. "Whatever!" Belphesnore said as Shockwing selected a jar and opened it. That's when something literally jumped right out of the jar, shouted "FREE AT LAST! WHOO!", and successfully landed on his feet perfectly. The individual in question looks like a tall African male human, who looks like he's in his late teens, wearing a black-and-gold dashiki (a colorful garment for African men that covers the top half of the body, is made from African print, lace, silk, brocade, suiting or cotton fabrics, features a stunning piece of embroidery around the neck area, and can be used for both informal and formal events.) with a pair of matching trousers and loafers (slip-on shoes). But, what makes this individual stand out most was that he had the face of a Spotted Hyena on the back of his head, complete with the ears and razor-sharp teeth. "Oh crud." Shockwing muttered upon realizing what he just released. "Okay, I don't know what that is, but it's not a Star of Death!" Orgullo said. Then, the mysterious literal two-faced individual stretched his arms out. "Man, it's good to be finally out of that jar!" He said.

"Just who or what that demon is?" Iracundo asked in confusion. "That's a Kishi!" Shockwing answered in clear worry. "A what, now?" Gloton asked in confusion. "A demon of African lore, specifically Angola." Shockwing explained. "As you all can clearly see, a kishi has an attractive human man's face on the front of its body and a spotted hyena's face on the back! In fact, Kishi in general are an all-male race of demons and are said to use their human face as well as smooth talk and other charms to attract young women, who they then eat with the hyena face, which is said to have long sharp teeth and jaws so strong that they cannot be pulled off anything it bites!" He explained, much to shock and fright of Lujuria, Envidia, Cocidia, and Pereza. "*Gulp!* And how do you know what he is?" Envidia asked in fright. "My previous master Osanya, who's Akofena and Aya's mother, encountered a Kishi before she married her current husband! He tried to eat her, but he didn't count on Osanya being able to defend herself and turn into a Werehyena, so, obviously, it did not end well for that Kishi as Osanya killed him in self-defense!" Shockwing explained.

"Between you and me, that was actually one of my failed attempts at killing her before the Tsetse Fly." He admitted with a chuckle. Of course, it was long before Shockwing realized that the mysterious individual, who was now identified as a Kishi, had just heard everything as he loomed over the Rogue Prinny. "Oh, hello." Shockwing said nervously. "So, that former master of yours was real reason why my father is dead, huh?" The Kishi said in slight anger. "Oh, you're his son, huh?" Shockwing said. "Yes, and I'd like to kindly ask you to tell me where this woman is so I can get my revenge on her!" The Kishi said. "Well, unfortunately, she is no longer living, but she has a daughter!" Shockwing said. "What's her name, and how old is she?" The Kishi asked. "Her name is Aya! She's currently ten years old, but let me tell you, she's no pushover, especially since she has the ability to turn into a werehyena just like her own mother!" Shockwing said.

"She'll have to do." The Kishi said, heading to the door. "Just a minute, Mr...what's your name?" Orgullo asked. "Oh, where are my manners? You may call me Acwellen! It means "He Who Kills"!" The Kishi, now known as Acwellen, answered. "Yes, well, Mr. Acwellen, we have a bit of a pest problem, and we'd like your help in dealing with it." Orgullo said. "What's in it for me?" Acwellen asked. "All the women you could want to eat, and the fact that Aya is part of the pest problem." Orgullo offered. "Sounds alright by me!" Acwellen replied. "And to help you with your endeavor, Panopticon, arise!" Orgullo called. As that happened, a circular portal of darkness appeared, and out from it came a azure-colored, muscular, humanoid, bat-winged, lizard-tailed demon that has eyes all over his body, arms, legs, shoulders, head, tail, and wings (but not on the palms of his hands or the bottom of his feet) while having a single horn on his head with a golden eye on it and wearing a brown loincloth (kind of like that of Goliath from the Disney TV series "Gargoyles"). Plus, he was carrying a golden staff in his right hand, with the top part being covered in multicolored jewel-like eyes.

"You called, Master Orgullo?" Panopticon said. Unbeknownst to any of them, Ophanimaton (See Kamen Rider LL Chapter 43 For Details) was watching from the shadows, relaying everything to the Animarius Empire. "So these are the people you're asking me to send a message to?" Lenshi asked King Draco. "Exactly!" King Draco replied. "They think they're better than us, but we'll show them. And with your talents, we're sure to do so!" He explained. "Very well. With these fingers of God, I shall craft something suitable for your needs." Lenshi said, walking away. "Don't worry, Drako, Lenshi will make something that will make those Demons soil themselves in fear!" Futaba promised. "Hope so, Futaba!" King Draco said. "Even more that soiling themselves is the least possible thing they do!" He added, laughing maniacally.

Meanwhile...

Scolorficunice was relaxing on the couch in the Casagrandes' apartment, the side that Carlota lives in when CJ and Mephoatzel approached her. "Oh, Scolorfi!" CJ said. That caused Scolorficunice to yelp and jump up as she was startled from her nap. "Oh, CJ, Mephoatzel, it's only you." She said. "Guess who we found!" Mephoatzel said as CJ stepped to the side. That's when an Azure-colored Alebrije, who had the head and legs of a Blue Poison Dart Frog, the body, spines, and tail of a Long-Spine Porcupinefish, and the short feathered head crest and wings of a Hooded Pitohui (a species of poisonous bird) as well as having Porcupinefish pectoral fins on his shoulders, revealed himself. "*Gasp!* Diohureus?!" Scolorficunice asked in excitement and joy. "Scolorficunice!" The Azure Alebrije said in delight upon seeing the Alebrije of Venom. "We found him at the park, Mepho recognized him, so we offered to bring him to you." CJ explained. That made Scolorficunice rather happy as Carlota, Ronnie Anne, Sid, Carl, Jaxondor, Ailuxucara, and Magnifalcougar came to see what's going on. "What in the world?" Ronnie Anne asked. "That's Diohureus, an Alebrije of Poison, and Scolorficunice's boyfriend." Jaxondor explained. "That's Scolorfi's boyfriend?!" Carl asked in confusion.

"Yep, that's me! Diohureus is the name. From the land, I'm a Blue Poison Dart Frog, from the sea, a Long-Spine Porcupinefish, and from the sky, a Hooded Pitohui, pleasure to meet you." Diohureus said. "Uh, nice to see you!" Sid said nervously. "What's a Hooded Pitohui?" Carl asked in confusion. "A Poisonous Bird (Yes They Do Exist) from New Guinea." Carlos explained. "Being well recognized by their reddish-brown and black plumage and short feathered crest, this species is one of the few known poisonous birds, containing a range of batrachotoxin compounds in its skin, feathers and other tissues! These toxins are thought to be derived from their diet, which happen to be beetles from the genus Choresine, and may function both to deter predators and to protect the bird from parasites! Fun fact, the close resemblance of this species to other unrelated birds also known as pitohuis, which are also poisonous, is an example of convergent evolution and Müllerian mimicry! Plus, their appearance is also mimicked by unrelated non-poisonous species, a phenomenon known as Batesian mimicry! Another fun fact, the toxic nature of this bird is well known to local hunters, who avoid it, since it is one of the most poisonous species of pitohui, but the toxicity of individual birds can vary geographically!" He explained in detail.

Everyone cringed at that. "Relax. Like me, he can choose when to use his poison, so unless you're a threat to him, you're safe." Scolorficunice said. "It's true! Of course, fair warning, because I'm 1/3 Long-Spine Porcupinefish, which so happens to be related to the Pufferfish, if I get spooked, I instinctively inflate my entire torso like a balloon and my spines straighten out, so please be careful not to scare me, unless you want to get poked by my spines by accident!" Diohureus warned. "Duly noted." Ronnie Anne said. "So, uh, do you mind if we call you Dio? Our Alebrije partners have long names that are a bit hard to pronounce, so we decided to give them shorter nicknames!" Ronnie Anne said. "Eh, works for me." Diohureus shrugged. "Thanks! So, Dio, what were you doing in the park?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"After the shockwave forced me out of the Alebrije World, I was lost in this new one." Diohureus started explaining. "Obviously, I was nervous and unsure of what to do, so I spent most of my time hiding in the bushes!" He added. "But then, while CJ and I were at the park, I sensed him." Mephoatzel explained. "And, boy, was I relieved to be found by a familiar face!" Diohureus said. "Even if it was a smelly one." He added. "I can't help it!" Mephoatzel shamefully admitted. "Well, nobody's perfect, Mepho!" CJ said. "True." Mephoatzel said.

Meanwile...

Sakura was on her back, sleeping at the temple as a Lavender colored mist poured out of her ear before solidifying into Aquene. "Well?" She asked. "Sorry, Sakura, but neither Mantha nor myself could figure out what your mom was trying to say." Aquene said. "Dang It!" Sakura complained. "The only thing we could make out was the words 'Asahi and Yuuzuuki'." Stomantha said. "Which is exactly what all I could hear." Sakura complained. "Asahi and Yuzuuki? What does that even mean, dood?" Elliot asked. "Those are Japanese names, dood! Asahi, which is a name often used for boys, means "Morning Sun" while "Yuuzuki", which is a name often used for girls, means "Evening Moon", dood!" Zoruku explained. "What he said." Sakura said. "Maybe that's what your mom was thinking of naming them, dood?" Arsene suggested.

"You know, I never even thought of that!" Sakura realized. "But there has to be more, if it were just that, Papa and Oniichan probably would have been there as well." She said before realizing something. "Hey, AkaRed-san, last night I was talking to my friends from Japan, and Tsu-chan brought up an interesting topic. Would it be possible for a Pecadiablo to decide to defect?" She asked AkaRed. "You know, there are plenty of Sentai villains that have defected from the side of evil!" AkaRed said. "Really?" Sakura asked. "Indeed, case in point Zaram, a member of the Evil Empire Shadow Line, capable of spreading darkness via sudden rainstorms. One day, he saw a Rainbow, and was inspired to protect it, so he defected to the Rainbow Line, becoming a maintenance man, eventually renaming himself Nijino Akira, and becoming ToQ6gou." AkaRed explained, providing footage of said 6th Sentai hero. "Sugoi!" Sakura said. "One of the things you learn when you take up the title of Kamen Rider or Super Sentai is to always expect the unexpected." AkaRed said.

Meanwhile...

Carlota was off playing basketball with some friends from school. "Pass the ball to me, Mia!" Carlota called out to her Middle Eastern friend and fellow member of the Cesar Chavez Academy Girl's Basketball Team. The girl did as instructed and Carlota effortlessly sunk a free throw. "Whoo! Nice one, Carlota!" Mia said. "Thanks, Mia." Carlota said as everyone took a break while Carlota went to her Gym bag and pulled out a bottle of water, starting to drink it. "I don't know much about human sports, but that was quite impressive." Scolorficunice said while hanging out in the bag. "Heh, true! Besides, before I started playing basketball, I had always thought sports we're not my thing and I didn't participate in any, until Principal Valenzuela told me that I was missing a PE, that's Physical Education by the way, credit and if I don't get that credit, I won't be able to graduate! And believe me, it was hard, especially since Ronnie Anne suggested for me to try a few sports, first with Soccer, then with Pole Vaulting, and then with fencing, with each of my attempts always ending in failure and mishaps for me and slight injuries for Laird, who, for some reason, was somehow constantly in the wrong place at the wrong time!" Carlota explained. "Poor Laird." Scolorficunice said. "Yeah, no kidding, kid's very lucky he has someone like Aquene. Speaking of which, how about your man, I mean seriously, an Alebrije made up of a poisonous frog, fish, and bird, and you fell in love with him?" Carlota asked, making Scolorficunice chuckle. "Yeah, my Venom powers tend to make me scary and unapproachable to males, but when I first met Diohuereus, who was having the same problem with females due to his poison powers, sparks flew between the two of us." Scolorficunice said. "Plus, we figured out that we're completely immune to each other's powers after we've kissed each other!" She added.

"Aw." Carlota said. "What about you, is there some High School Senior currently capturing your heart?" Scolorficunice asked. "*Chuckle!* Nope! I had a boyfriend named Diego once, but he was always so needy for my attention, which is a bit too much for even my own tastes, so I often constantly ignore him for hours on end until he would finally give up! So, now Diego is my ex-boyfriend and I'm still single and currently have no interest in any other guys at this point of time!" Carlota explained. "Too bad because you are definitely a catch, good looks, skills on the basketball field, and a bona fide superhero, boys should be lining up for the chance to go out with you!" Scolorficunice said. "Plus, there's the fact that you took this beauty enhancement potion that increased your breast size to a J-Cup, as you would often call it!" She added. This made Carlota chuckle. "Don't I know it, girl!" She said before screaming could be heard, making Carlota turn around to see Demi Diablos invading the gym where she and the rest of the team were.

"Oh, come on! Seriously?!" Carlota complained in annoyance. Before pulling her Lucha Changer out of her bag and running into the locker room. "Should we call the others?" Scolorficunice asked. "So far, it's just the foot soldiers, but if things get worse, we'll sound the alarm. Lucha Power!" Carlota said, transforming into LuchaMagenta and running back onto the court. "Hey, Uglies!" Carlota called out, gaining the Demi Diablos' attention. "It's LuchaMagenta!" Mia said in delight. The rest of the girls cheered at that. "You girls get to safety, I'll handle these cannon fodder punks!" Carlota instructed. "Will do, girl!" Mia replied as she and the other girls quickly ran off to safety. "Alright, boys." Carlota said, punching a Demi Diablo in the gut and injecting some venom into him, causing him to writhe in pain. "Let's dance!" She said. Unbeknownst to her, Panopticon was watching from the shadows with interest. "What an interesting individual!" He noted. Suddenly, Acwellan dropped down in front of Carlota. "Hello." He said sickeningly. "Uh, hello? Who exactly are you, mister?" Carlota asked in confusion. "Tell me, are you the one named Aya?" Acwellan asked. "Uh, no! Sorry, mister, but I'm not Aya, I'm LuchaMagenta!" Carlota said. "So you're not the one I'm looking for. Oh well, I'll just eat you anyway." Acwellan said, opening his Hyena mouth. He then turned around backwards and let his snarling Hyena head be revealed in full view, much to Carlota's fright. "*SHRIEK!* WHAT KIND OF CREATURE ARE YOU?!" Carlota asked in fright.

"I am Acwellan, a Kishi! Aya's mother killed my father, and since she's no longer alive, I want to kill her!" Acwellan explained, lunging forward. However, Carlota quickly counterattacked with a Venom blast, though Acwellen was to dodge out of the way. "Guys, I guess the Pecadiablos opened another jar, this time releasing some weird looking guy that apparently has a grudge against Aya's family!" Carlota called into her changer. "What?!" Ronnie Anne asked in shock. "Carlota, could you please tell me what he looks like?" Aya asked over her changer. "Well for one thing he has a big mouth." Carlota said. "A big mouth?" Aya asked in confusion. "Yeah ! One with razor-sharp teeth! It's coming from that Hyena-like face on the back of his head of all places!" Carlota said.

"Hyena-like face, back of the head." Aya thought to herself. "Sounds like a male, Hyena faced, version of a Futakuchi-Onna, or two mouthed woman, a Yokai that as the name suggests, is a woman with a second mouth in the back of her head." Sakura noted through Aquene's changer. After a minute of thinking, Aya gasped in horrible realization. "*GASP!* Oh No! That must be a Kishi!" Aya said in horror. "And they're man-or rather woman, eaters!" She said. That made the other Lucharangers, who are listening in from their Lucha Changers, to gasp in shock, especially Cianán. "Well let's see if he likes the taste of rubber!" Carlota said, tossing a basketball into Acwellan's Hyena mouth. Unfortunately, the Hyena mouth quickly spat the basketball out, much to Carlota's chagrin. "I didn't like that taste very much, thank you!" Acwellan said angrily, only for a foot to kick him in the face.

Specifically, the owner of that foot was a fairly muscular young man of Greek descent, around the same age as Carlota, who had short dark brown hair and was wearing an azure cotton T-shirt with brown shorts and tan hiking sandals. Underneath her helmet, Carlota looked at said boy with wide eyes and a blushing face. "Hey! Who are you and how dare you interfere with my meal time?!" Acwellen asked in anger. "You may call me Pantelis Olympios!" The young man, now identified as Pantelis Olympios, answered. Unbeknownst to anyone, Orgullo was watching from afar, and smirked to himself. "Clever move, Panopticon." He said with a chuckle. Needless to say, Acwellen was not very happy. "I don't normally eat males, but-" He started saying, only to get hit by a blast of lightning from Ronnie Anne.

"YEOW! Now What?!" Acwellen asked in pain and annoyance. "Back off, big guy!" Ronnie Anne said as Ciannan rushed in, carrying another Stone Jar. Acwellen, quickly took notice of the jar and realized what's going to happen. Acwellen, quickly took notice of the jar and realized what's going to happen. "Oh Ho No! I ain't going to get caught in another jar, not when I've got my revenge in mind! I'm out of here!" Acwellen said he pulled out a smoke bomb and dropped it onto the ground, causing a thick gas cloud appear while he took advantage of the confusion to escape. "Dang it!" Ronnie Anne said, snapping her fingers out of frustration. "Are you okay?" Pantellis asked Carlota as she absentmindedly ended her transformation. As she did, Carlota was blushing and swooning at the young man. "Yeah, I'm fine." Carlota said. Ronnie Anne and Cianán were quick to notice the look on Carlota's face easily put two and two together. "Oh boy, I think Carlota has fallen in love!" Ronnie Anne said. "Yeah, I know the exact feeling when I first fell in love with Aoife!" Cianán said.

"And I when I fell in love with Equuscarindrops." Jaxondor admitted bashfully. "And also when Amazquirranda and I first fell in love with each other at first sight!" Cristeroiceros admitted bashfully as well. "I'm going to have to ask Sid about that when I see her next." Ronnie Anne said. "So, what's your name?" Pantellis asked while Carlota was still blushing. "Car-car-car-" Carlota started stammering only for Ronnie Anne to help her cousin by delivering a tiny little shock. "Carlota!" She said upon feeling that. "Well, Carlota, I'm Pantellis Olympios! I've just moved in from Greece!" Pantellis said. "Oh, well it's nice to meet you." Carlota said. "Say, are you okay? You look like you're running a fever, considering that your face is nearly red!" Pantellis said upon noticing Carlota's blushing face. Carlota nervously chuckled. "Yeah, totally fine, just really worked up a sweat playing basketball and kicking those demon's butts." She said nervously, demonstrating a kick.

Unfortunately, she accidentally kicked the jar that Cianán was holding, causing it to instantly shatter, much to Cianán's chagrin. "I hope you know those aren't easy to make!" Ciannan said. "Oops! Sorry!" Carlota apologized sheepishly after realizing her mistake. "Well, anyway, we'd better get going! It was nice meeting you, if you want to talk more, here's Carlota's address." Ronnie Anne said, giving Pantellis a slip of paper with the address of the Apartment building and Carlota's apartment before the three of them left. "Alright, thanks!" Pantellis said after the three had left. "Thanks for the save back there, Prima, who knows what would have happened if I stayed!" Carlota said. "Yeah, I saw that look on your face when you looked at the guy! You've just fallen head-over-heels in love with him, haven't you?" Ronnie Anne said. "Oh my gosh, I think you're right!" Carlota realized.

"What do I do?" She asked in worry. "For one thing, just be yourself! And another thing, try not to demonstrate your kicking skills too much, especially around jars that can break easily!" Cianán said as he was holding the shattered remains of the jar that he had intended to recapture Acwellen with. Carlota cringed at that. "Again, Sorry!" Carlota apologized. "Let's just regroup at the temple and figure out what to do from there." Ronnnie Anne said. "Good idea! Aya needs to know something important about that Kishi anyway!" Carlota noted.

Later...

All the Lucharangers were at the temple, discussing what happened. "He said my mom killed his dad?" Aya asked. "Apparently." Carlota said. "And since your mom is dead, Acwellen, that's the Kishi's name by the way, wants to kill you in order to fulfill his revenge!" She added, much to Aya's shock and horror. "Ciannan-kun, do you know anything about this Kishi? It was captured by your family." Sakura asked. "When we first visited Africa, sometime before we arrived at my pen pal's village and captured Hodari the Popobawa, my parents, Aoife, and I have been alerted by a frightened fisherman a Kishi that was causing some serious problems at a nearby village that he was living in! And, boy, he was not kidding, as that Kishi was killing and eating the village women left and right, which is enough to make even me lose my lunch, of you know what I mean! *Shudder!*" Cianán explained with a shudder.

"He even tried going after my mom and Aoife!" He added. That made the girls in the group gasp in shock. "Tell me about it." Ciannan said in disgust. "The very sight of him attempting to kill my mom and girlfriend made me mad enough to charge and kick him very hard in the crotch, which paralyzed him long enough for my dad to grab a stone jar and seal him away within before he could do any more harm!" He added. "But now he's free." Sid said in concern. That made everyone groan in frustration. "Any ideas on how to deal with him?" Casey asked AkaRed. "Truth be told, there aren't any Sentai monsters based on a Kishi, so I don't really know!" AkaRed admitted. "Dang it." Everyone said. "Aya-chan, if this Acwellen said that your mother killed his father, does that mean that she encountered a Kishi before?" Sakura asked Aya. Aya nodded. "It was before she met my dad." She started explaining.

"One day, as she was walking along, minding her own business and collecting herbs, my mom came across a mysterious strange man wearing a kudi cap, a type of hat for African men, on the back of his head. As soon as the man got close enough, he took off the cap to reveal a Hyena's face on the back of his head, identifying himself as a Kishi that wanted to eat her! Unfortunately, for the Kishi, that is, he did not count on my mom being able to turn into a Werehyena and defend herself! Needless to say, it did not end very well for the Kishi, if you can figure out what I mean!" She added. "Of course, knowing what I now know about Shockwing, it wouldn't surprise me if that meeting was arranged by him in an effort to obtain freedom." Aya said, angrily clenching her fist. That made everyone shudder at that. "That Shockwing has got some serious issues, dood!" Derrick noted. "Tell me about it." Sakura said as Aya took notice of Carlota's aura.

"Carlota, you have fallen in love with someone today, haven't you?" Aya asked, causing Carlota to flinch out of shock. "Dang that aura ability of yours is freaky!" Carlota said. "You should see what the Maskman can do with it." AkaRed muttered with a chuckle. "Sorry!" Aya apologized. "Seriously, Carlota-neechan?! Who did you just fall in love with and what's he like?!" Sakura asked in excitement. "Uh, well, his name is Pantellis Olympios, he moved here from Greece." Carlota started saying. "He's got a fine muscle tone with broad shoulders and a handsome-looking face!" She added in romantic tone. This got the girls, human, Alebrije, even Animarius, squealing in delight. The boys, Prinnies included, on the other hand, covered their ears in pain from loud squealing. "I wonder if this is how Lincoln feels?" Bobby asked. "I would say yes on that!" Cianán said. "I'd second that one!" Casey said.

Later...

Carlota was walking through town, being on the watchout for Acwellan and the Pecadiablos. "Oh man, I really need to be careful! I seriously don't want to end up getting eaten by some literal two-faced monster!" Carlota said in worry. "Carlota!" A voice called as Carlota turned to see Pantellis. "Oh! *Chuckle!* Pantellis! What a nice surprise! What brings you here?" Carlota asked while becoming all lovey-dovey. "I was looking around the city and saw you." Pantellis said. That made Carlota giggle a lot. Scolorficunice rolled her eyes at this exchange from within Carlota's purse. 'Oh, boy!' Scolorficunice thought sarcastically. Before slithering up to Carlota's ear. "Psst, why don't you show him around?" The Alebrije of Venom suggested. That made Carlota snap out of her daze. "Good idea!" She whispered. "Hey, Pantellis, how about I show you around the city?" Carlota said.

"Oh, sure! Why not?" Pantellis replied. "Great! And maybe after that, I can introduce you to my familia!" Carlota said in delight. "That sounds like a great idea!" Pantellis said. Soon, Carlota was showing Pantellis all over the city, all the sights, with several funny moments, eventually arriving at the apartment building. "This is the Apartment Building where my family and I live. My Abuelo owns the Mercado on the ground floor." Carlota said. "Oh! Now, that's quite interesting!" Pantellis noted. Carlota chuckled. "Yeah, true. Oh, whatever you do, don't go down that alley, there's a swarm of insanely vicious alley cats that scare even Animal Control!" Carlota warned. She then pointed at said alley, where the Street Cats were taking a cat nap. Pantellis flinched. "Duly noted." He said. Then, Carlota and Pantellis entered the Mercado, where Hector and Bobby were already at the cash register. "Bobby! Abuelo!" Carlota called. "Oh! Hey, Carlota!" Bobby said. "Pantellis, this is my Abuelo and my cousin Bobby." Carlota said.

"Oh! Hello!" Pantellis said. "This is Pantellis Olympios." Carlota said. "Apparently, he's recently moved to Great Lakes City, and all the way from Greece to boot!" She added. "Oh, yeah, Carlota told us about you, nice to meet you!" Bobby said, giving Pantellis a handshake. "Likewise!" Pantellis replied. "So, what made a handsome muchacho like you decide to move here from Greece?" Hector asked. "Well, I've been planning to move to America for a while, and I chose Great Lakes City, Michigan, because of all the multicultural aspects, which is perfect for me to finish high school and then go college and then eventually get a job!" Pantellis said. "Well you couldn't have picked a better city!" Bobby said. "How very true! Though, I am a bit wary around those alley cats that Carlota just warned me about before we got here!" Pantellis said. "Yeah, I don't blame you for that! Though, as it turns out, having those cats around is actually a bit of a necessity, since they are the only things keeping the local rat population under control! Seriously, the rats are just as vicious as the cats, if not worse!" Bobby said.

This made everyone shudder. "Yeah, it's main reason why those alley cats, or Street Cats, as we often call them, are now designated as official pest control against those rats, provided that they get plenty of fish as payment for their services!" Bobby said. "Duly noted!" Pantellis said. "So, Pantellis, want to go upstairs and meet the rest of my family?" Carlota asked. "Sure." Pantellis said as Carlota lead him up the stairs, passing by Orgullo in his 'Ortego' disguise. "Hey, Ortego!" Carlota said. "Hey, Carlota!" 'Ortego' replied. Before seeing Pantellis, who looked back at him nervously as they walked to the Casagrande Apartments. As Carlota and Pantellis walked up the stairs, they also passed by Cianán and his family. "Hey, Carlota!" Ciannan said. "Hey, Cianán!" Carlota said. Pantellis took notice of Cianán's girlfriend Aoife holding Brion in her hands and got a bit curious.

"Oh, that's a cute baby." He said. "Isn't he?" Aoife said. "So, Pantellis, we haven't properly met! I'm Cianán O'Rourke!" Cianán said. "Over here are my parents!" He said while pointing as his parents. "Oh, hello, it's nice to meet you folks." Pantellis said. "Likewise!" Clancy said. "Very pleased to meet you!" Fionnaula said. "I'm Aoife Breathnach, Cianán's girlfriend! And this here is little Brion, mine and Cianán's son!" Aoife, taking Pantellis by total surprise. "Whoa! Wait a minute! How old are you two?" Pantellis asked in confusion. "Aoife and I are both twelve years old, though my girlfriend is going to turn thirteen soon!" Cianán said. "Yeah, there was a little accident involving a trip to Africa, a magic potion, and a demon with an incredibly sick sense of humor." Aoife said. "Demon? What demon?" Pantellis asked.

"Apparently a demon named Gremlock swapped the Pomegranate Juice my pen pal Nyansipo wanted to use for a potion that would give boys six pack abs with Cranberry Juice, and well." Ciannan said, looking at Brion who was babbling happily, much to his mother and Grandmother's delight. "Oh, I see!" Pantellis said before shuddering. '*SHUDDER!* I know the soldiers of Lujuria's army are perverted, but, seriously, this is too much!' He mentally noted in disgust. "Yeah, crazy, but oh so rewarding." Aoife said, kissing Brion on the forehead. "Anyway, we'd better get going, great talking to you, guys!" Carlota said. "Thanks! See you later!" Cianán said. After that, Carlota and Pantellis resumed walking up the stairs. Eventually reaching the Casagrande Apartments. "Okay, Pantellis, here we are!" Carlota said as she opened the door. "Guys, I'm home! And I've got a guest!" Carlota called.

That gained the attention of Ronnie Anne, Carl, CJ, Carlitos, Carlos, Frida, Rosa, Lalo, and Sergio. "Pantellis, these are my parents, my Abuela, my little brothers CJ, Carl, and Carlitos, my other cousin Ronnie Anne, who is also Bobby's little sister, and our family Parrot Sergio, and Dog Lalo." Carlota said. "It's very nice to meet you folks." Pantellis said. "Carlota, is he, by any chance, your new boyfriend?" Carlos asked. "DAD!" Carlota said embarrassed. CJ, Carl, Carlitos, and Sergio laughed hysterically in response to that. However, all it took was a death glare from Carlota and Scolorficunice to shut them up. This time there was no escape. "Sni!" Snivy called. "Snivy!" Stella called in worry.

"Aw, I can't believe my daughter finally got herself a new boyfriend! I'm so happy!" Friday said before crying out loudly. "MOM!" Carlota said, even more embarrassed than before. "Guys, knock it off! You're making Carlota extremely embarrassed right now!" Ronnie Anne said. "Thank you, Prima!" Carlota said, breathing a sigh of relief. "Sorry about my familia, Pantellis! As you can see, my parents can be very embarrassing and my brothers and Sergio can be quite mischievous!" Carlota said. "Oh no, it's fine." Pantellis said, although he started getting nervous at the mention of the word boyfriend. "Well, in any case, Pantellis, you should stay over for dinner, cause I'm cooking up something special!" Rosa said. "Oh no, I wouldn't want to impose!" Pantellis said, starting to back out of the room. "Nonsense!" Rosa said, pushing him back in. "Come on, Pantellis! You should really stick around! My Abuela's cooking is really great!" Carlota said. "Well, okay, if you insist." Pantellis said. "Great! I'll start cooking right away!" Rosa said as she went to the kitchen.

Unbeknownst to any of them, Orgullo's Messenger Bat was hiding in the shadows, listening in.

Meanwhile, in a dark alleyway...

A random woman was wandering around, trying to find her way out after getting herself lost. Just then, she came across Acwellen, who was wearing a large purple fedora hat covering his Hyena face. "What's a beautiful woman like you doing in a place like this?" Acwellan asked. "Oh, well, apparently, for some reason, I've gotten myself lost and I have no idea how to get out of here!" The woman answered. "Oh, thank you! I really appreciate it!" The woman replied. Only for screams to fill the air moments later. Then, the screams have ceased as Acwellen can be seen having blood dripping from his Hyena face, confirming that he had killed and ate the woman. He then chuckled maliciously to himself before going out to search for his next victim.

Meanwhile, at the Animarius Empire Castle...

"How's it coming, Lenshi?" King Draco asked. "Should be ready by tomorrow afternoon." Lenshi said. "Tomorrow afternoon? Why that long?" King Draco asked. "When it comes to creating Cherubim Soldiers, even if it's only a single one, it takes a certain amount of time to make sure the process is done correctly! Trust me, rushing things and trying them out before they are properly ready can and will lead to failure and disaster!" Lensi explained. "In other words, you can't rush perfection." He said. "You're lucky Futaba speaks so highly of your talents." King Draco said. "Thank You, your Majesty!" Lensi replied. "Trust me, Drako, it will be worth the wait." Futaba said. "Fine! I hope so! I'm not always the patient type, if you must know!" King Draco replied. "I'll be sure to keep that in mind." Lenshi said.

Back with Carlota...

She, her family, and Pantellis were sitting at the table as they were eating Tamales, Enchiladas, and Chiles en nogada (a Mexican dish of poblano chiles stuffed with picadillo (a mixture usually containing shredded meat, aromatics, fruits and spices) topped with a walnut-based cream sauce called nogada, pomegranate seeds and parsley, and it is typically served at room temperature). "As amazing as usual, Abuela!" Carlota said. "Gracias, Mija!" Rosa replied. "Oh, yes, delicious." Pantellis said. "So, Pantellis, what part of Greece are you from?" Carlos asked. "Oh, that would be Athens!" Pantellis answered. "Ah, the capital city!" Carlos said. "Yet you chose this dump to move to." Carl muttered as he, CJ, Ronnie Anne, Carlota, and Bobby felt the vibrations of their Lucha Changers. "Uh Oh!" Carlota said. "Something wrong, Carlota?" Pantellis asked.

"We're just getting a call from a friend, we may have to leave for a few minutes." Carlota said. "Oh! Understood!" Pantellis said. They got out the door. "What's up?" Ronnie Anne said. "We found Acwellan!" AkaRed said. "What?! Where exactly?!" Ronnie Anne asked. "About a block from your apartment building!" Axolota said. "And I'm afraid he's already going on a literal woman-eating spree, if you can figure out what we mean! *SHUDDER!*" Mambana said with a shudder. "Dang it, we're on our way!" Ronnie Anne said. "Hey, guys, something's come up, can you keep Pantellis entertained until we get back?" Carlota asked her family. "We'll try, Mija!" Rosa replied. Pantellis got nervous as he got a headache while the others were leaving. "Are okay, Pantellis? You look like you're having a serious migraine!" Carlos asked upon noticing that. "Yeah, I'm fine. Hey, uh where's your bathroom?" Pantellis asked. "Oh, it's that way, past the kitchen!" Frida said while pointing where the bathroom is. "Thank you!" Pantellis said.

He then dashed off into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. As this was going on, Acwellan was patrolling the neighborhood, looking for more prey. "There he is!" Carlota said as Acwellan turned to see all of the Lucharangers transformed. "Oh, great! It's LuchaMagenta, again! Who are the rest of these color-coded freaks?" Acwellen asked in annoyance.

"Storm Power, LuchaPurple!"
"Sound Power, LuchaBlue!"
"Metal Power, LuchaRed!"
"Sand Power, LuchaGreen!"
"Crystal Power, LuchaPink!"
"Mind Power, LuchaYellow!"
"Solar Power, LuchaGold!"
"Lunar Power, LuchaSilver!"
"Energy Power, LuchaCyan!"
"Matter Power, LuchaOrange!"
"Magnet Power, LuchaMagnet!"
"Spirit Power, LuchaAmber!"
"Alchemy Power, LuchaVermillion!"
"Nature Power, LuchaTeal!"
"Luck Power, LuchaIndigo!"
"Dream Power, LuchaLavender!"
"Venom Power, LuchaMagenta!"
"Gas Power, LuchaBrown!"
"Strength Power, LuchaBronze!"
"Speed Power, LuchaCopper!"

"Guardian Spirits, Awaken and unite! Alebrije Sentai!" Ronnie Anne chanted. "Lucharanger!" They all called. "Lucharanger? What kind of a name is that?" Acwellen asked in confusion. "We're a team based off Mexican Masked Wrestlers called Luchadors!" Ronnie Anne explained. "Never heard of them! Seriously, I was born in Africa!" Acwellen said. "Well I've heard of you! I understand you've been looking for me!" Aya said. "And you are?" Acwellen asked. "I go by LuchaAmber in this outfit, but my real name is Aya, the second daughter of Osanya!" Aya answered as she removed her helmet to reveal her true face. "Oh, so you're the daughter of the woman who killed my father!" Acwellan said angrily. "First of all, I specifically said second daughter, since I had an older sister named Akofena, who, like my mother, was killed by that traitorous former familiar Shockwing! And second of all, how do you know that it was my mother who killed your father and not someone else?" Aya asked.

"You can thank me for that!" Shockwing said, appearing. "Yeah, I let it slip that your mom had killed a Kishi before meeting your dad, and that she was a werehyena, apparently that clicked in his head." Shockwing admitted. At that moment, Aya quickly read the auras of both Shockwing and Acwellen. "*GASP!* My mother's encounter with that Kishi was no coincidence! You lured her towards the Kishi in hopes that he would kill her, didn't you?!" Aya asked angrily. "Yeah, that didn't work out too well. I honestly don't know why I didn't think of that Tsetse Fly sooner!" Shockwing said, laughing. That made Aya growl in anger. "When I get my hands on you, Shockwing, I'm Gonna Snap Your Neck Like A Twig!" Aya angrily declared. "Good luck with that, little girl!" Shockwing said as blaster shots rang out hitting the ground by the Lucharangers' feet.

"Whoa! Where did that come from?!" Casey asked in confusion. "That would be me, Lucharangers!" Panopticon said as he made himself known. "Holy Shamoly! Who are you?" Ronnie Anne asked in confusion. "Panopticon, a soldier of Orgullo." Jaxondor said. "Seriously?! Then, what's with all the eyes all over his body?" Sid asked in confusion. "Apparently, it's because he's based on Argus Panoptes, a giant from Greek mythology that's well known for having one hundred eyes covering most of his body!" Lunastura explained. This made everyone shudder. "Reminds me of another enemy the Zyurangers faced, Dora Argus." AkaRed said over the communicator. "Although, unlike the Greek giant he's based on, Dora Argus, while appearing to have a humanoid form, was actually a mass of eyeballs consisting of one massive central eye and a number of smaller eyes that can float independently of each other and can be fired as physical projectiles! Also, while the smaller eyes typically operate in a swarm, the primary big eye can command the rest remotely and act independently of the rest of his body mass!" He added as quickly provided footage of Dora Argus in action.

Everyone shuddered again. "Yeah, Dan had a pretty difficult time dealing with him." AkaRed said, providing footage of TriceraRanger's confrontation with Dora Argus. "Even worse, in addition to firing energy blasts from his many eyes, Dora Argus can teleport individuals to a purple-hued dimension where he can create life-like illusions to haunt and torment them!" He added. "Panopticon has a similar ability." Jaxondor said. "Really? How similar?" Sid asked. "He's able to capture people in his eyes, but if his horn is hit, he forcibly ejects them." Jaxondor explained. "You mean that golden horn in the middle of his forehead that happens to have a golden eye decoration on the tip?" CJ asked while pointing at said horn. "Yeah, that's the one." Ailuxucara said. "Well, unfortunately for you all, I'm not giving any of you a chance to do so! In fact, I'll just capture most of you!" Panopticon declared as then shot out beams from his eyes that hit Sid, Casey, Sameer, Nikki, Laird, Adelaide, Becky, Dodge, Ricky, Azalee, Jalissa, Aquene, and Par, causing them all to shrink then teleported directly into his eyes.

"Hey!" Carlota said angrily, rushing over to attack Panopticon. However, Panopticon was rather quick to evade Carlota's attack. "Listen, I really don't want to have to do this, but my bosses don't exactly leave me with any choice!" Panopticon told Carlota. That made Carlota rather confused. "What are you talking about?" Carlota asked. "Listen, follow my lead, make it look good, and after a little confrontation, I'll let you hit my horn, as the Alebrije said, that will free your friends." Panopticon whispered in Carlota's ear. "What?" Carlota asked as Panopticon swung his staff. Carlota was quick block the staff with her arms crossed. "Surrender, LuchaMagenta!" Panopticon said. "Yes, just like that, now try to deliver a roundhouse, I'll block in a way that will give you a perfect shot at my horn." He whispered. Carlota then did a roundhouse kick at Panopticon.

Only for Panopticon to block, allowing Carlota a clear path to his horn. She then punched Panopticon directly at his horn. This caused him to spark as lights matching the captured Lucharangers' colors flew out of his body, freeing them. "Oh man! I heard that the eyes are considered windows to the soul, but this is ridiculous!" Cassy said. "This isn't over, Lucharangers!" Panopticon said, teleporting away, leaving Carlota confused. "What was that all about?" Carlota asked in confusion. "And more importantly, where are Acwellen and Shockwing?" She added as she had noticed that Acwellen and Shockwing are both gone. "They escaped while you were busy with Panopticon." Jaxondor said. "Dang It!" Carlota said, snapping her fingers in frustration. "We'd better get back home." Ronnie Anne said as they all left.

Later...

After dinner, Pantellis was getting ready to leave. "Thank you for the wonderful meal." He said. "Glad you like it, Pantellis! Come back anytime!" Rosa said. "Thanks." Pantellis said, leaving. "Psst! Take this chance!" Scolorficunice told Carlota as the rest of the family went back to the apartment. "Oh, right!" Carlota said as she ran up to Pantellis. "Hey, listen Pantellis, I'd just like to say that...I really like you, you know, like like you." Carlota said. "Like like? What does that mean?" Pantellis asked in confusion. "Aw, Dang It! What I mean to say is that I'm In Love With You!" Carlota clarified, much to Pantellis's shock. "So what I'm trying to say is, can we be boyfriend and girlfriend?" Carlota asked kindly. That made Pantellis rather nervous. "Uh...I need to go!" Pantellis said, running, confusing Carlota. "What the?" Carlota asked in confusion.

"Pantellis, wait!" Carlota said, following Pantellis out of the building. Once outside, Pantellis transformed into Panopticon! Once she saw that, Carlota was utterly baffled, to say the least. "Pantellis?!" Carlota asked in shock, catching Panopticon's attention. "Uh Oh!" Panopticon said in fright. Before teleporting away. Before teleporting away. "Well, I did not see this coming!" Scolorficunice said as Carlota fell to her knees in shock.

The next day at the temple...

"WHAT?! Pantellis is Panopticon?!" The Lucharangers asked Carlota who was on the ground crying after last night's discovery. "I know! Can you believe it?! I'm supposed to be LuchaMagenta, an awesome demon fighting warrior queen, and yet here I am falling in love with one!" Carlota said in disbelief. "I just don't know what to do!" She added before resuming her crying. Carl on the other hand, found this hilarious! Until Ronnie Anne zapped him. "AkaRed, please tell me this has happened before!" Carlota said. "Well, AbareYellow found herself the target of affection of the Trinoid Yatsudenwani, but that was a one sided romance, and ZyuohTheWorld is in a relationship with a Rhino Zyuman, but as I said, she's a Zyuman, had nothing to do with the Deathgaliens." AkaRed said. That didn't make Carlota feel any better. Suddenly, the well shot up. "Acwellan is back. No sign of Panopticon, though." Fuka said. "Should we call in the Kamen Riders and their Animarius allies for extra help, just in case, dood?" Zoruku asked.

"Already on it!" Aya said. "I'd better call my parents to let them know about Acwellen and get some jars to seal him back into!" Cianán said. "Uh, why don't we simply just kill that demon instead of sealing him away?" Azalee asked. "You know, that's a good question." Ronnie Anne said. "Yeah, come to think of it, Kishi may be demons, but they don't have the same immortality as the Pecadiablos do, since they can be killed off permanently, like how my mom killed one before she met my dad!" Aya noted. "Fair point." Ciannan said. "I mean, the main reason why my family seals away demons in jars instead of straight up killing them is because there are some demons that are considered too powerful to be easily killed off, with the most notable ones being the disease demon Poreskoro, the legendary sea devil Davy Jones, the Mesopotamian Demon of the West Wind Pazuzu, and his bitter rival Lamashtu!" He said. "But with the Alebrijes' power, you just might be able to." AkaRed said.

"I guess that's a good point!" Cianán noted. "By the way, everyone, I did take a look at Acwellen's aura during our encounter with him yesterday and, well, apparently, it turns out that the Kishi that my mom killed a long time ago really was his father!" Aya said, making everyone gasp in shock. "I know!" Aya said. "And that Acwellen guy is going after you as part of his revenge!" Aquene said. "Unfortunately." Aya said. "Well, on the bright side, I do remember one physical weakness that Acwellen has, and that would be a simple kick at the crotch!" Cianán said. "Dang It!" Cianán said in complaint. "We'd better get out there. Who knows, maybe kicking their butts will get Carlota's mind off of things." Ronnie Anne said. "I guess that's better than nothing!" Carlota said. Everyone then heard the Vectors above them. "Great timing, guys!" Ronnie Anne said as they all ran out of the temple.

Later...

The Lucharangers and Kamen Riders, as well as their allies Master Toadus, Gorf, Andros, Phixia, Mambana, Fuka, Desco, Bufoam, and Gracilus, were soon where Acwellan was. "Ah, Lucharangers! So, we meet again! Who are these people and creatures that I've never encountered before?" Acwellen asked while pointing at the Kamen Riders and their allies. "We're the Kamen Riders! The champion sworn to protect humanity at all costs, Kamen Rider LL!" Lincoln called. "The princess destined to eradicate the darkness of evil with the light of good, Kamen Rider Jewel!" Sakura called. "The Spider Warrior from Africa, chosen by Kwaku Anansi himself, Kamen Rider Anansi!" Clyde said. "Like the phoenix, I have risen from the ashes, protector of worlds, Kamen Rider Neo-Decade!" Shintomaru said. "Also reborn from death, the Core Medal user with the desire to protect everyone, Kamen Rider OOO!" Edge called. "And of course our allies, Master Toadus, Gorf, Andros, Phixia, Mambana, Fuka, Desco, Gracilus, and Bufoam." Ronnie Anne said.

"Great, more of those Animarius punks!" Orgullo said, as he and the other Pecadiablos watched from afar. "I'm afraid they're the least of your concerns." A voice said as the Pecadiablos turned to see Futaba chilling on a nearby rooftop. "Who or what the hell are you supposed to be?!" Iracundo asked in annoyance. "The name's Futaba. And we..." Futaba said as Skeletron, Stephano, and Akuji all stepped out of the shadows, with their drivers already equipped. "Are here to have some fun until Drako and Lenshi's project is complete." Futaba said, equipping the Tetra Driver to his own waist.

Tetra Driver!

Then, Ophanimaton hovered over to Futaba's side. "What the?" Orgullo asked as Shibogumon did his thing.

Armed Spider On!

"Henshin!" The Skeletron called, transforming into Kamen Rider Armadeiras. Of course, for this occasion and to prevent the Pecadiablos from learning about his allegiance to Shocker and the Animarius Empire, Armadeiras's Rider suit doesn't have the Shocker symbol or King Draco's symbol on his chest, instead having only his own personal Spider Symbol on his chest. "Kamen Rider Armadeiras." Shibogumon introduced. Then, Stephano strapped on his own Weather Driver and pulled out the Weather Memory before pressing its button.

Weather!

"Henshin!" Stephano announced as he placed the Weather Memory into the top of his Driver.

Weather!

Stephano then turned the right handle on his Driver three times as a large holographic image of his Weather Memory's symbol appeared in front of him and then dissipated into particles that merged with him to form his own Rider suit, becoming Kamen Rider Weather. "Kamen Rider Weather." Stephano introduced. Akuji then pulled out his main Eyecon and clicked the button, placing it in his driver.

Eye! Batchiri Jaaku! Batchiri Jaaku!

As the Parka Ghost came out of his driver and floated around him, Akuji announced "Henshin!" before then pulled the driver's trigger, causing its eye to blink and open up to reveal his personal Eyecon's symbol.

Kaigan! Mortem! Bad Go! Kakugo! Jaakuna (Sinister) Ghost! (~Dark Guitar Riff!~)

That caused the Parka Ghost to merge with Akuji to complete his transformation into Kamen Rider Mortem. He then pulled out his personal blood red Scythe-like weapon, the Gan Gun Reaper.

Gan Gun Reaper!

"Kamen Rider Mortem." Akuji said. "Hey, Kamen Riders!" Futaba called out, making everyone look up to him. "Futaba!" Lincoln said in realization. "Who?" Acwellen asked in confusion. "What are you doing here? And more importantly, why do you look solid now and what's that on your waist?!" Sakura asked. "To answer the first part of your question, thanks to the Animarius Empire placing my feather in one of the Tree of Life's fruits, I am now fully ressurected!" Futaba answered. "As for the second part, just watch." Futaba said as Ophanimaton appeared. "Turn into Disc Mode, Ophanimaton!" He ordered. "Yes, Master!" Ophanimaton replied as he then flattened his form into a disc-like shape. Afterwards, Futaba pressed a button on the right bottom of the Tetra Driver to open up the door at the Driver's bottom to reveal a DVD player-like disc tray that he loaded the flattened Ophanimaton onto, right before he pressed the button again and closed the loaded tray back into the Driver, causing Baroque orchestra music to play out.

"Let's see, what's the word? Oh yeah, Henshin!" Futaba called. He then slammed his right fist down onto the four-faced dial (which had an Eagle's face at the back, a male Ox's face at the left, a male Lion's face at the right, and a Knight's face at the front) on the top of his driver, causing the closed up eye-covered wings on the center of the driver to open up like a gate, similar to the Beast Driver, and reveal the Ophanimaton in the center that immediately spun around like an armillary sphere.

Knight Mode! Activate!

That also caused Futaba to be surrounded by two huge golden eye-covered rings, kind like how Geiz becomes surrounded by watch straps when he becomes Geiz Majesty, while an ethereal version of a Tetramorph a.k.a. Cherub (a type of Angel described as having four eye-covered wings, ox hooves for feet, and four different faces, specifically those of an Eagle at the back, an Ox at the left side, a Lion at the right side, and a Human at the front (in this case, the human face is covered by a medieval Knight helmet)) flew around him before wrapping its four wings around him and turned into pure that merged with him and morphed into his own Rider suit.

(*~Medeval Music!~*) Rise up! Sword out! Fight on! Kamen Rider Tetra, Knight Mode! (*Sword Swishing!*)

As soon as the eye-covered rings disappeared, Futaba was shown in a brand new form. Specifically, appearance-wise, he had on silver-and-gold chest and shoulder armor with a green undersuit, a pair of silver-and-gold gauntlets on his arms (which had four claws retracted within the top part of each one and a pair of ox hoof-shaped brass knuckles retracted underneath them), a pair of silver-and-gold leg armor with bronze ox hoof-shaped boots and Futaba's usual winged metal rings on his ankles as well as eagle talon-like structures that are folded onto the front and back of the leg armor, four large eye-covered silver-and-gold metallic bird-like wings on his back, and a helmet on his head that had four different metallic faces, with the primary front face resembling a silver Knight's helmet with a golden trim and a pair of green bug-like eyes glowing behind the grid visor while others were a golden lion-themed face on the right side with yellow eyes, visible sharp feline teeth, and a large prominent metallic mane, a black ox-themed face on the left side with red eyes, large golden ox horns, and a golden nose ring, and a white eagle-like face on the back side with blue eyes, prominent side feathers, and a sharp golden raptorial beak. Furthermore, on his chest armor as a golden symbol that resembles an Ophan (a living eye-covered wheel-within-a-wheel) with four eye-covered wings at each side of it (specifically covering the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast corners) while also having circles at the North, East, South, and West depicted with the images of the four creatures that Futaba's Rider motif's face consisted of (specifically a Lion in the East circle, an Eagle in the North circle, a Knight in the South circle, and an Ox in the West Circle). Plus, as soon as his transformation was complete, Futaba was carrying a silver-and-gold longsword in his right hand with four eye-covered bird-like wings at the hilt and reddish orange flames covering the blade.

"Kamen Rider Tetra, Advent!" Futaba declared. "Nice work, you two." King Draco told Cicadeath and Flygor impressed at Futaba's Dark Rider form. "Thank You, Your Majesty!" Cicadeath and Flygor replied in delight while bowing down. "I have to ask though, what's the significance of 'Knight Mode'?" Johannes asked. "It's meant to represent the human part of the Tetramorph, though as a specific type of human warrior!" Cicadeath explained. "We had had looked up different human warriors, most notably Samurai, Ninjas, Vikings, Gladiators, Pirates, Conquistadors, Wrestlers, and Soldiers, but we chose the Knight because of the armor and unique sword skills!" Flygor said. "Furthermore, each face on Tetra's helmet is an interchangeable mode, each with it's own strengths." Cicadeath explained excitedly. "Eagle Mode gives him a boost of speed, Ox mode a boost in endurance, Lion mode a boost in power, and Knight mode a balance of the three and impeccable sword skills!" Flygor said.

That made King Draco and Johannes rather impressed. "You humans and traitors should consider yourselves lucky I'm not here to test my new powers on you." Futaba said, pointing his sword at the Kamen Riders, Lucharangers, and allies. "Rather, at Drako's orders, Armadeiras, Weather, Mortem, and I are here to keep you seven entertained while Lenshi puts the finishing touches on a little surprise." Futaba explained, pointing his sword at the Pecadiablos. "Drako?! King Draco sent you four after us?!" Orgullo asked in anger. "Indeed he did." Futaba said. "Especially since it's fitting for a Shadow Angel like myself to fight against the demons that he calls his competition!" He added, much to the Pecadiablos' anger. "Angel? ANGEL?! IF IT'S ONE THING WE PECADIABLOS HATE MORE THAN MAGIGO AND THE ALEBRIJES, IT'S THE ANGELS!" Orgullo declared angrily. "Okay, first of all, I'm called a Shadow Angel, much different from the Angels in this universe, since I come from a much different universe than this one! And secondly, those Angels of this universe have got nothing on my kind!" Futaba clarified.

"Do we look like we care?!" Orgullo asked, forming his darkness sword and attacking Futaba with it, only for him to block with his own sword. "You're going to be fun, I can already tell!" Futaba said with a chuckle. That only made Orgullo angrier. Akuji's Eyecons then surrounded him. "Let's see..." He said. He then picked one Eyecon amongst them. The Eyecon in question was reddish orange with an image of a pair of black tattered war flags resembling sinister eyes in an reddish orange background and the word "Genghis Khan" on the bottom of that symbol. Akuji then pressed the button on the side of reveal the letters "GK" in the center of the Eyecon. "Genghis Khan, conqueror of China and founder of the Mongol Empire, you'll work very nicely." He said, swapping the two Eyecons.

Eye! Batchiri Jaaku! Batchiri Jaaku!

That caused a new Parka Ghost to appear out of his Driver. That Parka Ghost was reddish orange in color and resembled Mongolian Armor with two tattered war flags on long poles attached to its back and a horsetail plume at the top of the helmet. Akuji then pushed the lever on his driver.

"Kaigan! Genghis Khan! (*War Horn Blowing!*) Chūgoku no Seifuku-sha (Conqueror of China)! Mongoru Teikoku no Sōshi-sha! (Founder of the Mongol Empire)! (*Horses neighing, followed by soldier battle cries!*)

Then, the Genghis Khan Parka Ghost merged with Akuji in place of his personal Parka Ghost and lifted up its face to reveal a new helmet with the image seen on the Genghis Khan Eyecon while maintaining Mortem's five Wisp Horns. Afterwards, the Gan Gun Reaper's blade folded downwards while a larger reddish orange modern Astrolabe (as in the round flat astronomical device, not to be confused with the Armillary Sphere!) suddenly appeared and transformed into a robotic Sea Turtle that flew over and split its head and tail from the rest of the body to attach itself to the Gan Gun Reaper to form a spear while the Sea Turtle's body folded its flippers in and formed a Round Shield that Akuji caught in his left hand.

Spear & Shield Mode!

"Let's dance." Akuji declared. He then charged towards Gloton, who in turn summoned his weapon, specifically a Warhammer made out of solid stone, and blocked Akuji's attack. "What about you two?" Lujuria asked Shibogumon and Stephano. "While I don't have the ability to take on alternate forms like Mortem, I do have abilities that are similar to those of Anansi! Plus, I have my own unique weapon, right here!" Shibogumon answered as he pulled out his signature banana-themed weapon, the Musorocaban. "*Snicker!* Seriously? A Banana-themed weapon? You realize how ridiculous that is, right?" Lujuria asked while snickering, much to Shibogumon's annoyance. "Hey! It just so happens to fit my motif of the Brazilian Wandering Spider, also known as the Armed Spider and Banana Spider, okay?" Shibogumon said in annoyance. "Still ridiculous! And you, Kamen Rider Weather? What can you do? Forecast a light drizzle?" Iracundo asked. "A drizzle? No! A heavy shower? Yes!" Stephano said as he twisted the left handle on the Weather twice.

Weather Attack! Heavy Rain!

That's when the Rain Cloud symbol on his right leg armor started glowing, allowing Stephano to summon a large cloud into the sky that poured down a heavy rain shower right on top of Iracundo. "HEY! *BLUB BLUB BLUB!*" Iracundo complained as was being drenched and almost drowning in the rain. "And to add to the fun." Stephano said as the Ghost, Unicorn, and Knight Dopants appeared. "I brought in friends." He said. "Hello! I'm the Ghost Dopant!" The Ghost Dopant said as displayed his chains in a menacing manner. "I'm the Unicorn Dopant!" The Unicorn Dopant said as he presented his Unicorn-themed left drill arm. "And I'm the Knight Dopant! Prepare yourselves, demon scum!" The Knight Dopant said as he pointed hit jagged broadsword at the Pecadiablos. "Well as long as we don't have to deal with any of those guys!" Lincoln said, as everyone turned their attention to Acwellan. "Just give up now while you can, Acwellen! You are literally outnumbered here!" Aya said. "Fat chance, humans!" Acwellan said. "You'd be wise to listen, Acwellan." A voice said as everyone looked to see Panopticon.

"Panopticon? What are you doing here?" Acwellen asked in confusion. "Carlota." Panopticon said, catching Carlota's attention. "I'm so sorry for my deception, but as I explained to you last night, I had no other choice, Master Orgullo came up with this plan, he wanted me to gain your trust, only to rip it out from you. But I couldn't do it, after everything we went through yesterday, all the kindness you and your family showed me, I've come to realize..." Panopticon said, shifting to his Pantellis form. "I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU TOO!" He said. That took Carlota by complete surprise. But not as much as the Pecadiablos! "Panopticon! What is the meaning of this?!" Orgullo asked in anger. "Oh, is someone betraying you guys for love? With a human? Boy do I know the feeling!" Futaba said with a chuckle.

That made the Pecadiablos gasp in shock, especially Orgullo. "Panopticon, you dare to betray me, your own master?!" Orgullo asked angrily. "If it means being with the one that I'm truly in love with, then, yes, I dare!" Panopticon answered defiantly, much to Orgullo's outrage. "Well I guess that answers the question Tsu-chan brought up the other day." Sakura noted. Pantellis then shifted back to his normal state and attacked Acwellan with his staff. "Ow! How Dare You?!" Acwellen shouted in anger as he then turned his fingernails into sharp claws started slashing the multi-eyed Pecadiablo. "Eye Staff!" Panopticon called, using the staff to form a circle. "Wide Eyed Break!" He called, gathering energy from his eyes into the staff and once again attacking Acwellan, this time managing to deal a lot of damage to him. "Grrrrr! If you think that I'm going to go down without fulfilling my revenge first, then you've thought wrong!" Acwellen declared as he snapped his fingers and summoned an army of Demi Diablos.

Then, using the Demi Diablos as his cover, Acwellen ran past the heroes and charged straight towards Aya. Unfortunately for him, Aya, thanks to her aura-reading powers, had already felt his presence and changed into her LuchaHyena mode before dodging his attack and pounced on him. "Hey! Get off of me! I'm warning you! I have a powerful bite and I'm not afraid to use it!" Acwellen warned as he had his Hyena face open its mouth and then tried to bite Aya. However, Aya quickly used her Spirit powers to create a barrier around her body that not only blocked Acwellen's attack, but also shattered his Hyena's face's teeth *SHATTER!*. "OWWWW! MY TEETH! MY BEAUTIFUL HYENA TEETH! YOU'VE BROKE THEM!" Acwellen yelled in pain as Aya got off of him. "Considering that you have been a cold-hearted woman-eater and practically giving Spotted Hyenas everywhere a bad name, you deserved that!" Aya said as she returned to the heroes' side, much to Acwellen's anger. "Okay, now you've made me very mad! Demi Diablos, Smash Her, Squash Her, Crush Her! Obliterate Her!" Acwellen angrily ordered as the Demi Diablos diverted their attention to Aya and charged towards her. Only for them to all be sucked up in Panopticon's eyes, just as the Kamen Riders and Lucharangers pulled out the Trinity and Super Lucha Busters. "Uh..." Acwellen said nervously. "We talked it over, and decided putting you back in a Stone Jar is too good a fate for you, so instead we're going to shoot you with these." Cianán said as Lincoln and Ronnie Anne pulled the triggers. Then, both weapons fired at Acwellen at him, causing him to yell in agony and shout out "I'VE BITTEN OFF MORE THAN I CAN CHEW!" before he finally exploded to smithereens.

"Damn it!" Orgullo said, pushing Futaba aside. "Can this day get any worse?!" He asked in frustration as Futaba noticed something and chuckled. "That depends on how you feel about giant mechanical constructs created by a Shadow Angel." Futaba said, gesturing to the nearby area. As he said that, a giant portal opened up in the sky and a Cherubim Soldier descended slowly down onto the ground feet first successfully. For fun, Lenshi added a pair of blades resembling those of axes to it's arms! Then, the Cherubim Soldier let out a deafening roar, much to the shock of the Pecadiablos. "What, The Hell, Is That?!" Iracundo asked. "That would be Drako's little surprise. An unstoppable Cherubim Soldier!" Futaba said. "Unstoppable, huh? War Diablos!" Orgullo called, summoning an army of the giant soldiers. Only for the Cherubim to cut them all down to size in seconds by spinning and slicing them to bits with it's blade arms.

"Damn It!" The seven Pecadiablos complained. "If you guys value your lives, I suggest you run away, because I just got word that this Cherubim has been programmed to kill enemies on sight! That includes your War Diablos, the Kamen Riders, the Lucharangers, and you guys!" Futaba said as the Cherubim looked at the Pecadiablos. "Uh Oh!" Gloton said in fright. The Cherubim started charging for an attack, only for the Kabutocerosteus mech to body check it, causing the Cherubim to fire it's beam attack harmlessly into the sky. Of course, the beam itself was bright enough to be seen from space. "What in the world? And I thought that shockwave was strange." An unidentified voice said. The voice belonged to a young alien, who looked like a twelve-year-old human boy with his ears, hind feet, and tail being like that of a Kangaroo and was wearing some sort of crimson-colored spacesuit as he was piloting a sort of spaceship that resembled the X-Wing Fighter from the "Star Wars" franchise, albeit with six wings instead of four, differently shaped blasters on the wings, and a kangaroo head-shaped nose tip. "Hm." He said, continuing his flight.

Back With The Heroes...

Upon getting tackled, the Cherubim Soldier switched it's attention over to the Kabutocerosteus Mech and growled at him. Soon, LuchaPrime, the other Auxiliary mechs, and Aquarion Anansi joined Bobby. "Good thinking, using your Strength powers like that, Bobby, but I think you've just made that Cherubim Soldier very angry!" Ronnie Anne said. The Cherubim roared in anger, attempting to do what it did to the War Diablos, only to be stopped by the Aquarion Shield. "Nice try, big guy, but this shield is unbreakable!" Clyde said. "Is that an Aquarion?!" Johannes recognized. "Is that an Aquarion?!" Johannes recognized. Golshi growled at the sight of this. "Skyring descend!" Ronnie Anne called, summoning the Skyring. "We'll fly up to it, teleport you guys and the Cherubim onboard, then we'll finish it with a one two punch of your burst and our blaster." She told the riders as LuchaPrime flew up to the Skyring.

Then, Aquarion Anansi and the Cherubim Soldier were instantly teleported to the Sky Ring itself. "Now!" Clyde said, pushing the 'Burst' button on his controls while LuchaPrime fired it's own finisher backed up by energy beams from the Auxiliary mechs. That was too much for the Cherubim Soldier as it exploded to smithereens upon getting hit. "I'm sorry, King Draco." Lenshi said upon seeing this. "No need, Lenshi. The Cherubim did exactly what it needed to do, instill fear in the Pecadiablos, now they know they have another reason not to trifle with me or my plans." King Draco said with a malicious smirk. "But your work is impressive, please make more." King Draco requested. "For a friend of Futaba, anything." Lenshi said walking away. "Nice work, Lucharangers! Now-" Panopticon said as Shockwing dropped down in front of him. "Sorry, Panopticon! *Chuckle!* Can't let you spoil everything, especially the Pecadiablos' secrets!" Shockwing said. "Animari Ninpo! Omoide no Tōnan (Theft of Memories)!" He announced as he struck Panopticon's forehead and pulled out an orb of light that he then put into a glass jar that he immediately sealed shut with a cork.

He then jumped up to the Pecadiablos. "Let's get out of here! And don't worry, as long as this cork is in this jar, your human identities are a safe secret!" Shockwing assured the demons. "Good!" Orgullo said. They then teleported away. "We'd better get going too." Futaba told his fellow Dark Riders, who also teleported away. As this was going on, the heroes ran up to Panopticon, who was grabbing his head. "Panopticon, are you okay?" Carlota asked as he shifted back to Pantellis. "Yeah, I'm fine, that Shockwing guy just said something about 'Omoide no Tonan, thrust his wing into my head and pulled something out." He explained. "Omoide no Tōnan? Does that mean something in English?" Aurachnid asked in confusion. "Theft of Memories." Everyone who spoke Japanese translated. "It's an Animari Ninpo technique that allows the user to reach into someone's mind for a specific memory, then seal it in a glass jar. The only way for the memory to be restored being breaking the seal." Gorf explained.

"And how do you know know about this, Gorf-san?" Sakura asked. "It's actually a very common Animari Ninpo technique that we Animarius Ninjas are required to learn in Ninja School!" Gorf answered. "You're saying that Shockwing stole one of his memories?" Carlota asked. "Now that you mention it, he also said that he couldn't let me spoil anything, especially the Pecadiablos' secrets! Oh man, now I know what he took! He took my memory of their human forms!" Panopticon realized. That made everyone gasp in shock.

Later...

The Pecadiablos were walking down the hall back to their apartment. "I can't believe this! One of my own soldiers betrayed us!" Orgullo complained. "Look at the bright side, brother, at least thanks to Shockwing, our disguise remains safe for now." Lujuria said as Orgullo tried opening the door, but failed. "Huh? Hey, why is the door not opening?!" Orgullo asked in annoyance. "Maybe it's locked?" Iracundo suggested. "I'm using the key, so it can't be locked. Gloton, see if you can bust it down." Orgullo said. "Fine by me!" Gloton said as he then charged towards the door and rammed it with all of his strength. This caused to door to fall off it's hinges. "We're going to have to find a way to explain this to Senora Casagrande now." Lujuria said. "We'll take care of that later, look!" Orgullo said as they saw the apartment covered in roots! "What's with all the roots?!" Iracundo asked in confusion. They then heard muffled screaming and noticed Belphesnore hanging upside down with everything from his mouth down tied up in roots!

"Belphesnore?! What are you doing up there?!" Pereza asked in confusion as she then flew up and untied Belphesnore from the roots. *Gasp* *Cough* "I heard strange noises from Lady Lujuria's room, and when I opened the door, all of a sudden, I'm in Jumanji!" He complained. "He's not the only one!" Amanitake said in complaint as he was seen stuck to a wall while covered in roots. "Even me!" Muscalignite, also in the same predicament, said. "The only reason I haven't used my heat powers is because I didn't think about it until before you tried to open the door!" He complained. As he said that, Muscalignite used his heat powers lightly burn through the roots just enough for him to break out. He then ran back to his hideout. "Ha! Serves you right, you-wait, my room?!" Lujuria said before gasping in realization. She then ran to her room and opened the door and gasped in delight to see a young girl, around Desco's age, wearing no clothes, with a set of bat wings growing out of her back and long green hair on her head made out of Mandrake leaves. Plus, she had green skin and a pair of purple flower buds on each side of the top of her head.

"You're finally here...Alraunellie." Lujuria said, naming the girl Alraunellie. "This is what you've been watering that seed pod thing for?" Shockwing asked in confusion. "Exactly, Shockwing! This, is the daughter of my two soldiers, Alraunela and Leshire, who have been defeated and sealed away by the Lucharangers!" Lujuria explained. "Huh? What's going on?" Alraunellie, who as Lujuria was entering the room, was peacefully asleep, asked waking up. "Relax, child, we have a lot to talk about!" Lujuria said sweetly with a tinge of excitement.

Meanwhile...

"You'll be safe here, the other Pecadiablos can't find you here." AkaRed said as they were settling Panopticon/Pantellis down at the temple. "Thanks for giving me a chance, uh..?" Panopticon/Pantellis said in confusion. "Oh, where are my manners? I'm AkaRed, the spirit representing the red Super Sentai warriors, and also the Lucharangers' mentor!" AkaRed said. "With me are my assistants Mambana and Axolota, and our friends the Prinnies Arsene, Zoryoku, Derrick, and Elliot." He introduced. "Pleasure to meet you all." Panopticon/Pantellis said before walking up to Carlota. "So, I was wondering, is that offer to be boyfriend and girlfriend still on the table?" He asked. "Are you crazy!? Of course it is!" Carlota said in delight. She then dashed towards Panopticon/Pantellis and hugged him before kissing him directly on the lips. "Aw!" The girls all went before Aurachnid just had to ruin the mood. "So...we're just going to ignore the fact that he's a literal demon?" He asked, making every female in the temple glare at him for daring to ruin the mood.

"Not cool, Aurachnid!" Fuka said. "Yeah! So what if he's a demon? Desco's a demon too, well, an artificial demon, but still a demon nonetheless!" Desco reminded. "And these two are dating my best friend and cousin!" Aya pointed out, gesturing to Andros and Phixia. "Well, technically, we're Animarius, not demons, but you get the idea!" Andros said. "Yeah! At least he considerate to Carlota's feelings!" Phixia said. "Sorry! I guess I'm not used to the idea of demons, which are usually classified as evil spirits, being on the side of good and in a romantic relationship with humans! My bad!" Aurachnid apologized. "Well, truth be told, I'm not used to that idea either, especially since this is, quite literally, the first time I've ever seen a Pecadiablo actually defect to the side of good! But, then again, contrary to popular belief, not all demons are actually evil, so I am okay with this!" Diohureus said. "Question, though, Carlota, how are you going to tell the rest of your family about your boyfriend's true identity?" He asked.

Carlota cringed. "I did not think that far ahead." She admitted. "I don't mind keeping my identity a secret from them for now." Pantellis said. "Really? Are you sure about that?" Carlota asked in confusion. "For you, anything. If that means living a lie until you're ready, then so be it." Pantellis said, kissing Carlota's hand. "Awwwwww!" The girls gushed. "So, does that mean you'll be transferring over to my High School class in Cesar Chavez Academy?" Carlota asked. "Sure." Pantellis said. "Yay!" Carlota said, hugging him. "Speaking of romance, what about you two? Any boys catch your eye?" Ronnie Anne asked Fuka and Desco. "No, not really. I mean, the boys on my baseball team have tried, but I haven't really been interested in any of them, so I've politely declined them all." Fuka admitted.

"As for Desco, well, at the same that she first introduced herself in class, there's this new kid calling himself Dario Kozlov, and Desco thinks he might be having the hots for Desco after he took a look at her human form, though Desco isn't sure about she feels about him, even though he's nice to me!" Desco admitted. 'Especially since for some reason, Desco finds her eye wandering to others.' She thought to herself. "Oh, I see!" Ronnie Anne noted. "Dario Kozlov, Shin-kun, don't you have a cousin by that name?" Sakura asked Shintomaru. "Hey, you're right! He's from my mother's side of the family, more specifically from my maternal grandmother's side, since she's of Slavic origin, which is what ethnicity Dario is from!" Shintomaru realized, taking everyone else by surprise. "I wonder if it's the same person." Shintomaru said. "Oh, Desco has a picture of Dario Desco took while we were hanging out in Gym Class." Desco said, pulling out a phone and showing him a picture.

Specifically, it showed a picture of a ten-year-old Slavic boy with short light brown hair in a Mohican hairstyle that's wearing an elementary school gym uniform. "Holy cow, that is him! Man, my mom is going to be quite surprised. She was always close to my aunt, his mother growing up." Shintomaru said. "Really? I didn't know that!" Sakura said. "Yeah, I'll have to tell her when I get home." Shintomaru said. "Well speaking of cousins, I forgot to tell you, Ronnie Anne-chan, my friends Hima-chan and Tsu-chan have cousins of their own who will be moving to Great Lakes City soon." Sakura said. "Whoa! Really?" Ronnie Anne asked in surprise. "Yeah, and come to think of it, Hima-chan's cousin Yui-chan is around Carl-kun's age, while Tsu-chan's cousin Subaru-kun is around Adelaide-chan's age." Sakura noted.

"Whoa! Didn't see that coming!" Sid noted. "Are they the only cousins?" Adelaide asked. "Nope! There's also Yui-chan's older twelve-year-old brother Benjiro-kun and Subaru-kun's twelve-year-old older brother Katashi-kun! Also Benjiro-kun is bringing his girlfriend Hozumi-chan, who in turn is bringing her ten-year-old younger brother Yasu-kun, while Katashi-kun is bringing his own girlfriend Niyuki-chan, who is also bringing her ten-year-old younger brother Akimatsu-kun and his twin sister Sonomi-chan, which is sort of a good thing, because Hozumi-chan's parents and Niyuki-chan's parents, who are all firefighters, have recently died in a forest fire in an attempt to put it out!" Sakura explained, much to everyone's shock and horror. "And apparently, they've also fallen to Gremlock's power, if you get what I'm saying." Sakura said with her eye twitching.

That made everyone groan in frustration. "Looks like Gremlock had struck again!" Jaxondor said in frustration. "In all honesty, I really hate that guy! Seriously, I know for a fact that most of the soldiers of Lujuria's army are well known for being perverted, but what Gremlock is doing is just too much!" Panopticon/Pantellis said in annoyance. "Well, I'm afraid it's worse than you think, Panopticon! Gremlock is practically the only Pecadiablo that managed to avoid getting sealed away with the others 10,000 years ago! How, you ask? Apparently, from what his female clone familiar Gremelda told us after we exorcised her from our friend Abena, Gremlock froze time around himself and then created an exact duplicate of himself to act as a decoy, allowing himself to escape while the duplicate got sealed away instead! Even worse, as we recently found out during our trip to Vega when we were invited to a special wedding, Gremlock had somehow managed to find a way to travel through other universes and dimensions during the last 10,000 years, and we don't how he did it!" Aya explained.

Phixia groaned. "I really hate this guy. If, when, and how Mpatapo and I decide to have children, which will most likely be via adoption, since I highly doubt his human DNA and my Animarius DNA will be able to mix, should be up to us and us alone!" She said. "Same with me and Duafe." Andros said angrily. This caused Lincoln to back up nervously. "By any chance, are the cousins on the sides of their families that aren't entirely human?" Clyde asked. "If you're referring to Yui-chan, Benjiro-kun, Subaru-kun, and Katashi-kun, then, Yes! Yui-chan and Subaru-kun have yet to gain their Kitsune and Tanuki ears and tails, due to how young they are! Benjiro-kun and Katashi-kun, on the other hand, being already twelve years old, have already gotten their own Kitsune and Tanuki ears and tails, respectively!" Sakura explained after calming down. "Though, in Katashi's case, in addition to the Tanuki ears and tail, he also gained the male Tanuki's big kintama! *Snicker!*" She added with a snicker. "Kintama?" Ronnie Anne asked in confusion. "Oh boy, how do I say this appropriately? It's basically a Japanese slang word for what Americans call, well, "Balls", and I don't mean the sports kind!" Sakura answered.

Everyone cringed at that. "Yeah." Sakura said. "And from what Hima-chan and Tsu-chan tell me, they're nervous about being judged, not just because of what he did, but because of their non human halves." Sakura explained. "Yikes!" Lincoln said. "Well don't worry, we'll make sure that doesn't happen." Ronnie Anne said. "Yeah! My father, son, and I are part-Leprechaun, so I think we can get along with part-Kitsunes and part-Tanukis!" Cianán said. "Arigato, min'na. I'll be sure to let them know when I talk to them next." Sakura said. "Sure thing!" Ronnie Anne said. "By the way, Azalee, how is Aden doing?" Sid asked. "Oh, he's doing fine. He does keep having this strange dream about a snake, a sword, and a train, though." Azalee said. "Really? That is strange!" Sid noted. "Yeah, we don't get it either." Edge said as everyone began pondering.
