Chapters The scene opens up with a book with a strange logo, including the letter V and some text in a language unknown to ponies of today. It was opened by a light blue hoof, opening up to pages detailing events years ago.
“Long ago, in a faraway land, the world was threatened by invaders who have existed since the time of the dinosaurs. However, a might stood before them, the Zyudenryu, and their partners, the People of the Strong Dragons, better known as the 37th Super Sentai team, the Zyuden Sentai Kyoryugers!” a female voice read with a lot of enthusiasm.
“With their mentor fallen, and the Red Senshi’s dad having stolen the powers of their mentor, it all looked bleak. It seemed as though the planet had turned on the mentor to the Kyoryugers. But hope was not lost, as the Kyoryugers were determined, and KyoryuRed was ready to fight. He had a face-off with his father, before recalling KyoryuPink giving him something before he left, finally showing that she indeed cares about him.” the voice continued.
When the source of the voice finished, she closed the book with her hoof, revealing herself as a pegasus mare with magenta eyes, a rainbow-colored mane and tail, as well as a mark on her flank that showed a cloud with a red, yellow, and blue colored lightning bolt coming out of it. She also happened to be reading this book to three young fillies, one being a normal earth pony with yellow fur, a red mane and tail, a large reddish-pink bow in her mane, and orange eyes, a very very light gray unicorn with a curled mane and tail colored light pink and violet and green eyes, and finally an orange pegasus filly with purple eyes, and a mane and tail colored a shade of purple.
“And that, little fillies, was the story of the Zyuden Sentai Kyoryugers,” the rainbow-maned mare finished.
“Wow… that was AWESOME!” the young pegasus filly squealed.
“I know, I was just as excited as you are when I first read this, Scoots,” the mare added.
“So… how many Sentai were there, Rainbow Dash?” the young unicorn asked the mare.
“At the moment there’s 40. But, this books is missing a lot of info on the 38th, 39th and 40th teams,” the mare, Rainbow Dash answered as she flipped to the back of the book and noticed something, “Heck, somehow it looks like a lot of the pages were torn out.”
“Well shucks. Well… which one have ya enjoyed readin’ the most?” the earth filly asked.
“Personally, I liked them all, but some notable favorites include the Jetman, Kyoryugers, and the Gokaigers.” Rainbow Dash admitted.
“Although, despite the adventure of the Kyoryugers being over… it still looks like their section is missing a little bit of info.” she added, seeing some pages ripped out in the Kyoryuger section.
“Honestly, I loved the part of the Kyoryuger story where KyoryuRed and KyoryuPink wound up a couple, it was SO~ romantic!” the unicorn filly, Sweetie Bell, stated.
“I found it awesome when KyoryuGold managed to break free of Dogold’s grasp early on! It was AWESOME!” the pegasus filly, Scootaloo, cheered.
“Well… I loved it when the new Violet took her spot on the team, even if she didn’t get her stallion,” the earth filly, Applebloom added on. “But it may change if you find those lost pages.”
“Same here,” Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement.
“Fair enough,” Rainbow Dash nodded before flying up and placing the book back on a shelf with a bunch of other books, each label “The History of Super Sentai: Vol (insert number and team name)”.
“Well, story time’s over you three. See you later,” Rainbow Dash bid, as the three walked out, the door opened by a violet colored aura.
“Hey Rainbow. You finished reading those stories to the Cutie Mark Crusaders I see,” a violet mare with a longer horn than a unicorn, longer legs than most ponies, and larger wings than a pegasus, with violet eyes, a dark blue mane and tail with violet and pink streaks in them, along with a mark on her flank that was a pink six-pointed star with white sparkles around it.
“So Twilight, what do you think of the 37th Super Sentai?” Dash asked the other mare.
“Personally, I like all of the Super Sentai, but I don’t have too much to say about Kyoryuger except it was the first team in a long line of them to have only one female,” the mare, an alicorn known as Twilight Sparkle replied walking in, “But why do you insist on telling these fictional stories like they really happened? You know those stories are just legend.”
“Oh yea? Well you said something like that about Daring Do, her being ‘fictional’, and yet we found out she was real and was in fact the same mare who wrote the books,” Rainbow Dash countered. Twilight gave an annoyed groan, and sighed.
Dash sighed as well, before landing. “I know you don’t think they’re real, but if you mind me asking, which is your favorite?”
“If I must answer that, I’d have to say my personal favorite would be the Magirangers,” Twilight answered as she began to organize some of the books that kinda fell off the shelves.
With a small smile, Dash began to fly, before taking her leave.
The scene know is at a place seemingly made entirely of crystals, specifically, it was a castle of sorts. And inside, we see two ponies in particular. The first was an alicorn, similar to Twilight, except her coat was pink, she had violet eyes, a mane with violet, magenta, and pale yellow streaks, a crystal heart mark on her flank, or a Cutie Mark as the ponies called them, a small golden crown on her head with some purple gems in them, a golden necklace, and golden horseshoes. With her was a white unicorn stallion with a white coat, blue eyes, a blue mane and tail with darker and lighter blue streaks in them, a blue shield with a pink six-pointed star Cutie Mark, black hooves, and a red, white, and gold military coat with a blue sash across his chest. These were Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, better known as Princess Cadence, and her husband and Twilight’s older brother, Shining Armor. They at the moment were eating a plate of pasta, simply enjoying their time together, when a clanking sound could be heard.
They turned to see an orange pegasus stallion with blue eyes, wearing golden armor on his hooves, body, and head, the armor covering up his Cutie Mark.
“Forgive me for intruding, but there is a matter of urgent importance!” he said.
“What is it, Flash Sentry?” Princess Cadence asked.
“At the archeological dig, we found something under a large lare of rubies, we need you to investigate it at once,” Flash Sentry informed.
This brought out some shocked looks from Cadence and Shining Armor before they nodded.
“Lead the way, soldier,” Shining Armor ordered, seeing he was the captain of the guard. They galloped to the area where there was an archeological dig, but and unknown to them, it appeared as though there were some tracks leading to the ruby where the dig was.
“What’s this about?” Cadence wondered as they followed the tracks. But they seemingly cut off, as they saw a chest buried in a thick layer of rubies.
“A chest?” Shining Armor gawked, a bit confused why it would be there of all places.
As Cadence and Shining Armor began to remove the rubies with their magic when the rubies just set themselves back up.
“Wait, your majesty? I think you should look at this,” Shining Armor responded pointing his hoof at some writing on the cave wall. Cadence and Shining Armor stopped before looking at the wall and seeing one word written there; a name much too familiar with Shining Armor.
“...’Twilight’?” he gawked.
“Maybe… Twilight has the power to open the way to the chest?” Flash shrugged.
“What makes you say that?” Cadence asked.
“I’m just guessing.” Flash informed.
“Oh… I see… we’d better write a letter to your sister, dear,” Cadence sighed, saying the last part to her husband.
“Right,” Shining Armor nodded
And so, Shining Armor pulled out a quill pen and a piece of paper before writing about what they saw in a letter to his sister.
It was late at night, and all of Ponyville was asleep. The only one up was Twilight as she felt something was off and that she couldn’t sleep. She was taking the time to read one of the books on the Super Sentai, but even then she was hardly able to keep her eyes open. She was about to try and get back to sleep when something began to stir. She looked at a small bed before seeing a small dragon with purple scales and green spines stir a little before he burped in his sleep, releasing through green fire some sort of note.
Twilight was now wide awake, and saw the letter on the ground.
“What’s this about?” she wondered, picking up the letter and seeing it was from her brother and Princess Cadence. “Armor? Let’s see… ‘Dear Twilly, we found something at the Crystal Empire that needs immediate attention. Cadence and I can’t get this thing out of it’s confines, and due to something else we found, we realized that we need your help.’ Okay… man, what time is it?” Twilight asked herself, looking at the clock, seeing it was 4:30 in the morning. “It sure is early… I’d better hurry.”
And so, Twilight began to pack some things in a small bag, write a small note for Spike so he wouldn’t worry, and then she set out for the Crystal Empire in her hot air balloon.
“I wonder what exactly they found…” she wondered to herself as she began to ponder all the various things this new discovery could possibly be. And wonder… why is it only she could get to it.
It took sometime for her to get there, but she soon arrived at the Crystal Empire, and she saw her brother and sister-in-law waiting for her before she landed her balloon.
“Twilly! Oh, are we ever glad to see you!” Shining Armor said with a huge smile when Twilight landed and exited the balloon.
“Hi Armor! Hi Cadence,” Twilight smiled, trotting over before… bumping into Flash Sentry… quite literally.
“Oh, hello Princess Twilight,” he greeted, as Twilight blushed.
“Hello…” she blushed in response, and this awkward silence lasted a while before Cadence cleared her throat.
“Anyway, as much as we’re glad to see you, and as much as I’d personally like to chat and see how you’re faring, we need you to come with us,” Cadence told Twilight.
“Uh… yea, right.” Twilight started, as she got up from Flash’s arms, and then Cadence and Shining Armor led the way, with Twilight and Flash not far behind.
They arrived back at the archeological site not that much later, and Cadence showed Twilight the tracks leading up to the chest covered in rubies.
“...Okay… so a chest was found here covered in rubies… what’s so odd about that? I mean, this is still the Crystal Empire, so gems like these are more common here than other places, right?” Twilight asked.
“We’ve tried to uncover it, but it just somehow reforms a magic barrier, and then we found your name written into the rubies, so whoever left this thing here, must’ve known who you are,” Cadence figured.
“Uh… that is weird… I guess I can try,” Twilight figured as the others stepped back just in case something crazy were to happen before Twilight stepped up to the gems and removed one to see what would happen.
The gem simply remained on the ground, and this proved only Twilight could uncover the chest. With this, Twilight continued to remove the gems to clear the way to get to the chest until finally the entire area around the chest was clear of gems. She then noticed a note by the chest, and then removed the chest and the note from the ruby chunk.
“‘To whom it may concern- They have fallen. The Neo-Zangyack was simply too much for them,’ Neo-Zangyack? Why’s that sound familiar? ‘I have been tasked to return and hide this chest with the powers of the warriors of another world. If you find this, tell Twilight… she and her friends are the only ones who can help. Twilight… I have a strong feeling the Neo-Zangyack won’t stop until they destroy what’s inside this chest, so use the powers within to stop them. Please…’ …wow. So someone we know hid this thing? And… why does this hand writing seem so… familiar…” she said to herself.
“Who’s it from?” Shining Armor asked.
“It doesn’t say. It just stopped right at that moment when the writer said please, and it almost looked like they’d write something else, but it just… just stops there,” Twilight answered.
“Well, thanks for the help Twilly, sorry if we woke you up last night,” Shining Armor apologized.
“It’s okay bro, you did what you had to,” Twilight replied before approaching the chest. “But I am curious… what’s so important in this chest?”
She couldn’t shake the feeling that the chest also looked familiar. ‘It almost looks like… no. It can’t be possible, Super Sentai is only a myth, legends...’ Twilight thought, as she looked at the chest, but she couldn’t get enough motivation or drive to open it.
“Well… if you don’t want to open it right now, you don’t have to,” Cadence told Twilight. However, Twilight didn’t seem to listen as she opened the chest, which let off a very bright light that almost blinded everypony for a second before they looked at the chest’s contents and saw… a bunch of human-shaped objects, but Twilight recognized what they were.
“No… way,” Twilight said, before she trotted a bit closer.
“What is it, Twilly?” Shining Armor asked as Twilight lifted up one of the objects with her magic to examine it.
Twilight was silent for a moment, before shaking her head, regaining her train of thought. “They’re from the legends of the Super Sentai,” she answered, really surprising the other ponies there, holding up a red key with a pirate theme.
Twilight then looked a little closer into the box, and saw what appeared to be some sort of belt buckles, and phones of sorts. The first five phones were mostly red and black, it had gold painted on one side when it was closed, but the other had a sort of screen showing two swords of sorts. The other was a gold and silver phone with the keypad having buttons with various helmets on them, the thing being thick enough to hold something inside, and the screen had a blue background with a black anchor icon.
She was silent, and simply closed the chest before putting it in the hot air balloon.
“Are you sure it’s a good idea to be taking it with you, Twilight?” Cadence asked.
“Yea… I mean, what other choice do I have?” Twilight responded.
“You could maybe give it to Princess Celestia; she’d probably know what to do…” Shining Armor guessed.
“...but, I kinda want to amount to something,” Twilight muttered.
“You already have Twilight. You and your friends saved Equestria on more than one occasion, and you even became an Alicorn yourself,” Cadence pointed out, but Twilight just sighed. “...Okay… if this is what you think is right, go for it.”
“Thanks…” Twilight smiled, before she took off.
“Good luck… Twi…”
Later, Twilight returned to Ponyville, her thoughts having gone all over the place. She landed her balloon next to the Library before taking the chest out and taking it inside, making sure nopony else saw it.
“How can these be real? ...I mean, I know multiple events happened said to be fictional ended up being real, but…” Twilight muttered to herself, staring at the chest as she put it down.
“Twilight? Is that you?” she heard a male voice speak; she knew it was Spike.
“Yea, it’s me.” Twilight said, hiding the chest underneath a table.
“What did you find?” Spike asked, coming down, his green eyes seemingly fill with excitement and curiosity.
“Huh?” Twilight responded.
“You left this note saying you found something, didn’t you?” Spike answered, showing her the note she left for him which told him not to worry.
“Yea… I’ll show you,” Twilight relented, taking out the chest.
“What’s this? And why’s it look so familiar?” Spike wondered.
“I can answer that later, right now Spike, I kinda need to get some sleep,” Twilight replied.
“Oh… okay,” Spike nodded as Twilight was about to walk upstair when Spike took a closer look at the chest. Twilight sighed, before picking up the chest with her magic, and taking it upstairs with her. “Aw, why can’t I take a look at it, Twilight?”
“I’ll let you see it later, okay?” Twilight yawned.
“Fine…”
After falling asleep, Twilight found herself on some kind of ship. She looked over the vessel seeing it was mostly painted red and saw some sort of flag that had a key and two swords which resembled the traditional pirate flag of the Skull and Crossbones known as the Jolly Roger. What else surprised her was what happened when she looked over the edge; it was flying! She looked up, and saw a smiling Princess Celestia looking at her, holding a crown with some magic, and it wasn’t just the Element of Magic, either. This crown had the same symbol on the flags she saw.
“Wow…” Twilight said.
However, it turned out to be a dream as it ended when Twilight woke up, rubbing her eyes.
“*yawn* What a dream,” she muttered.
She then saw that Spike was by the chest, again. and he seemed to be trying to open the darn thing, and failing by flopping on his back or face every time.
“Spike, I’m awake, and I’ll let you see it now, I just needed to get some sleep was all,” Twilight yawned, stretching for a bit.
“...Took you long enough. Sorry, I couldn’t wait,” Spike answered as Twilight trotted over and opened the chest, revealing the items inside.
“That’s it?” Spike asked.
“Don’t you recognize these Spike?” Twilight replied as Spike sat thinking for a moment.
“Not… that much… uh… wait a minute...” Spike pondered before looking back up at the shelf with the volumes of the History of Super Sentai.
“Bingo,” Twilight responded.
“These were in one of the Super Sentai stories?” Spike gawked before thinking again. “But which one was it again?”
“Can’t remember… but I do think I know somepony who does,” Twilight figured.
“Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! THE RANGER KEYS!” Rainbow Dash gawked as she was the one brought in to examine the keys.
“Yea… so, now what?” Twilight asked, as a knock came from the door to Twilight’s place. Spike walked over and got the door, and when he opened it, there were four other mares at the door.
One of them was a yellow pegasus with a pink mane and tail, blue-green eyes, and a Cutie Mark of three pink butterflies. Another was a white unicorn with blue eyes, a neatly curled purple mane with matching tail, and she had three blue diamonds as her Cutie Mark. The other two were Earth ponies (which looked like somewhat normal horses), the first being an orange pony with a blonde mane and tail, a brown cowboy hat, green eyes, and a trio of red apples for her Cutie Mark, and the other being a pink pony with a wildly curly mane and tail of magenta, blue eyes, and a trio of balloons as her Cutie Mark, two blue and one yellow.
“Hi,” Twilight said simply.
“Hi Twilight,” the mares replied.
“Come in,” Twilight replied as the mares did so, the pink one bouncing in.
“So what’s got Dash so… Pinkie?” the orange mare, Applejack, asked.
“... ‘So Pinkie’?” Twilight asked.
“Just means heavily excited.” Applejack replied.
“Oh… well… you’ll have to see for yourselves,” Twilight answered as she led the mares over to the chest.
“What’s that?” the yellow mare, Fluttershy asked.
“Apparently, Dash said these were the Ranger Keys used by the 35th Super Sentai… Kaizoku Sentai… Gokaiger, if I remember correctly,” Twilight answered.
“Dashie, you do remember this Sentai stuff is just myth, right?” the white mare, Rarity asked.
“Are you kidding me?! If these don’t prove their real, I don’t know WHAT does!” Dash responded, continuing to cheer and bounce off the walls.
“I love bouncing off walls for no reason!” the pink mare, Pinkie said, jumping around with Dash.
“...Okay… how these got here, I’m not sure,” Twilight sighed, as the six all walked up to the chest, Dash and Pinkie calming down, when suddenly, a flash of blinding light erupted from the chest.
“WHAT THE?!” Rarity gasped as suddenly, the six pirate-themed keys, those Dash knew as the keys for the Gokaigers, floated up into the air by themselves.
Suddenly, the devices also floated out, along with the belt buckles, which were golden and had the impression of the shape of the keys. Then, the keys hovered over to the ponies, Red to Twilight, Blue to Applejack, Yellow to Rarity, Green to Pinkie, Pink to Fluttershy, and Silver to Dash.
“What in the world?” Twilight gasped.
“This is so… AWESOME!” Dash gawked as she took the Silver key, the belt buckle suddenly wrapping the area around her neck, sorta forming like a necklace. “...But I admit… this is new.”
“I’m Green, so now you can call me ‘Greeny Pie’.” Pinkie said jokingly, taking her key.
“What’re you talking about?” Twilight gawked.
“Don’t you see, Twilight? We were chosen to become the next Gokaigers!” Dash realized.
“What?!” Twilight gawked.
“How can this be?!” Rarity added in shock.
“I don’t get it,” Fluttershy added.
“Me neither,” Applejack admitted.
All six exchanged a look of confusion, before looking at the Keys.
“Hey, it’s the best reason I’ve got,” Dash defended as Applejack shrugged and took the blue key.
That night, Celestia and Luna were exchanging their shifts as Luna raised the moon while Celestia went to bed. However, amidst her beautiful stars, she noticed something… off. She saw what appeared to be a dragon shaped ship, pulling a circular shape, that had a black castle on it.
"What in the name of my sister...?!" Luna gawked when… it simply stopped moving.
“What’s going on…?” Luna asked herself, as the station simply remained in the air.
However, she soon saw more golden ships arounds it before they began to fly down.
“Well… this could be a problem…” Luna muttered to herself.
On the ship with the castle, there stood seven individuals in the cockpit. The main one looked feminine, with a very regal dress that at the same time looked a bit stiff (like it was made of metal). The dress itself was mainly pink with white accents, having golden decorations on her chest, shoulders, and the edge of her dress, the skirt of which was split partially to show she was wearing boots of sorts in gold along with some pink pants. Her head had golden blonde hair with a large crown/headdress also gold, but with more pink in it. What skin she had exposed was actually silver, as was some more decorations on her dress, and her very humanoid face was smooth with bright pink eyes seen from under her hair. “That must be it… the planet that the Ranger Keys are on…” she said.
The first person to respond was actually a person clad in black armor on the upper torso, and brown leather pants and boots. He also had yellow lightning patterns all over his attire, golden claws on his arms, not to mention a large head of mane-like crimson hair, sharp horns protruding from said hair, and a lion-like face of gold skin. “It sure is, their energy signature is too recognizable.” he replied.
“Good. Crageson, prepare to deploy the Neo-Goumin. We must destroy those keys as soon as possible!” the female snapped.
“Of course, Jizo-sama,” he nodded, and walked off to send the troops down to the planet.
The leader was then approached by someone else entirely, his color scheme was mostly dark blue, white, and silver, but it was clear he was robotic… mostly, and he had a large shuriken on his forehead while he had armor that also resembled the suit of a ninja.
“Ma’am, I have some concerns about what we will do to that planet after we find the Ranger Keys,” this figure asked.
“As long as they don’t interfere with the search for the keys, we don’t bother them,” the leader, Jizo, informed.
“Yes ma’am,” the robotic, or cybernetic, being bowed.
The next morning, it seemed like it would be a normal day, however, many ponies gasped as they witnessed golden ships fly in from overhead, each one holding a magnet underneath them while carrying hordes of mysterious creatures. They were gray and silver, with some added white armor, while they even appeared to walk on their hind legs like dragons, but they had hands… with five fingers each… not to mention they wielded something in their hands. As the ships drew closer, these hordes of creatures dropped from the magnet, the only thing that held them to it being their helmets, and they landed just outside of Ponyville, making the ponies terrified.
Suddenly, some sort of image was projected onto a nearby large cloud that the pegasi neglected to move away; it was the face of the female leader of these grunts, surprising the ponies.
-Attention all locals of this village! I am Jizo Onichan, but you may refer to me as Jizo-sama. These creatures you see before you are my troops, the Neo-Goumin. We are currently looking for the Ranger Keys!- she spoke, confusing the ponies as most thought the keys were just a myth. -You have my word that these keys are in fact real. If you do not interfere with my troops, your fair town will be spared. If not… you all shall live to regret it!-
Still shocked by this, many of the ponies moved aside as the Neo-Goumin marched through town, the ponies in awe of both the fact that these creatures resembled the humans of myth and legend as well as how intimidating they were despite being mere troops for a higher power.
“Neo-Goumin? Sounds like the Zangyack are back in town,” Rainbow Dash muttered, as she sneakingly floated to Twilight’s home. She flew in from the window, much to Twilight’s surprise.
“Rainbow? What’s going on?” Twilight gawked.
“The Zangyack… or rather Neo-Zangyack as their new leader calls them, are back, and they’re after the Ranger Keys!” Rainbow Dash informed.
“So… what do we do…?” Twilight asked.
“If we are indeed chosen to be the new Gokaigers, we have to get out there and stop the Neo-Zangyack!” Dash answered.
Twilight gave a small look at her Ranger Key and realized: it was HER Ranger Key now. “Let’s!”
“Ah yea! That’s what I’m talking about! Let’s get the others!” Dash smirked.
Outside, the Neo-Goumin were still in there search for the Ranger Keys, and the ponies were still terrified of them, none of them noticing Twilight and Dash going off to find the rest of the Mane 6. After about an hour, the six saw the Neo-Goumin ready to begin their search at Twilight’s home, when they were blasted. The Neo-Goumin gawked before turning to see the Mane 6 walking towards them, the one responsible for blasting them being Twilight, using her left hoof to do so. The grunts were surprised by how she did it, though, holding up a black and red gun with a light blue trim around the same symbol seen on the flag Twilight saw in her dream, which she knew was the symbol of the Gokaigers.
“Gour?” one asked.
“I’ve had just about enough of this! Ponyville, and Equestria in general, has been the target of many creatures and tyrants in the past… well… this time, we’re going to stop you before you can even THINK of doing anything to our home!” Twilight responded before pulling out her Ranger Key and the red and black phone known as the Mobirates. “Ready girls?!”
“Ready!” the others nodded as they all stood on their hind legs long enough to hold the Ranger Keys and their respective Mobirates, except Dash who had the GokaiCellular. They followed this up with Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy holding the Ranger Keys in a way so they’d flip and actually turn into keys while Dash opened up her Cellular in a way to insert her GokaiSilver key the way it was before closing it, and then, all six posed with the keys.
“GOKAI CHANGE!” they shouted as the members of the Mane 6 who flipped the keys to their key mode and inserted them into their Mobirates before twisting them while Dash pressed the key on her Cellular that had the image of her Ranger Key’s helmet.
=GO~KAIGER!=
With that, the Mane 6’s bodies were covered in black bodysuits before three X’s and a V each in the color of the keys the ponies used flashed over them, forming the symbol of the Gokaigers under the belt buckles around their necks, the coats and skirts that forms more of the suits (which left room for the wings of Dash, Fluttershy, and Twilight), and finally, the Vs formed helmets for each pony, Dash’s being mostly silver with the top resembling a black bandana with an anchor design similar to the one on her Cellular with a golden yellow visor. The others’ helmets, though, looked almost the same with slight variation in the shapes of the black visors along with the Gokaiger symbol on top their heads, not to mention there were horns on the helmets for Twilight and Rarity.
“GokaiRed!” Twilight started.
“GokaiBlue!” Applejack added.
“GokaiYellow!” Rarity nodded under her helmet.
“GokaiGreen!” Pinkie smiled under hers.
“GokaiPink!” Fluttershy bowed.
“Gooookai...SILVER!” Dash proclaimed rather dramatically.
The Neo-Goumin gawked at the sight of this, and everypony, even Onichan Jizo and her crew were stunned by the sight.
“I-Impossible! Those are…!” Onichan gawked when…
“Kaizoku Sentai…” Twilight started before she and the rest of the Mane 6 posed in their new suits.
“GOKAIGER!” they all shouted, ready for battle.
“No way… the Super Sentai are myths!” one pony gawked.
“But there they are; Twilight and her friends became one right in front of us!” another pony gawked.
GokaiRed simply examined her new looks, which were quite impressive to her and the rest of the Mane 6, especially seeing as the suits were originally design for humans, but were easily modified for their pony bodies.
“This… is… so… AWESOME!” Dash/GokaiSilver cheered.
“Green is the thing, isn’t it?” Pinkie/GokaiGreen said.
“This is certainly a lot of yellow for my taste… but I guess I can’t complain with the overall design,” Rarity/GokaiYellow replied, examining her suit.
“This feels… right for some reason,” Fluttershy/GokaiPink said, simply smiling.
“Ah feel… so much stronger now,” Applejack/GokaiBlue gawked.
GokaiRed simply saw her team ready for action, but GokaiSilver, using her tail to hold a staff, which resembled a silver, gold, and blue trident, kept the team back. “Twilight, you gotta say Red’s line before we go fight,” she told GokaiRed.
“Really? I didn’t think that was really needed,” GokaiRed admitted.
“Can’t you see the villains aren’t budging? They don’t move until the Red Ranger of the team announces their line for an attack! Well… most of the time,” GokaiSilver explained.
“...Okay… do you remember GokaiRed’s?”
GokaiSilver simply trotted over, and whispered it to Red.
“Okay then… or rather… Yosh...” GokaiRed nodded before turning to the Neo-Goumin and held her GokaiGun with her magic, as well as a cutlass of similar colors with her tail. “Hade ne Ikuze!”
Now, the battle could properly begin! This was indicated when the Gokai-Ponies charged as well as the Neo-Goumin, each of the Gokai-Ponies somehow wielding their own versions of the weapons GokaiRed had, except Silver who used the trident.
From the sun, Princess Celestia was watching the battle in total awestruck, not understanding what was happening. However, this didn’t stop her from watching as she had witnessed her faithful student and her friends become warriors of legend and were easily taking on the silver and white creatures.
GokaiRed, not that used to fighting, found herself a little overwhelmed on all sides by the Neo-Goumin as they forced her to drop her weapons.
“Dang it! There’s gotta be something… wait… if Dash was right…” GokaiRed pondered before she pressed the button on her “belt” buckle and the front of it flipped around, revealing a new key, which was of a red warrior with white gloves, a design on the torso and shoulder resembling a silver dinosaur head with yellow teeth, and the helmet itself resembled a red t-rex head with green eyes and yellow teeth, the large black gap between the teeth acting like a visor and a silver section covering the mouth. The new Gokaiger pulled this key out with her hoof and saw it was a key for KyoryuRed. She dodged many attacks, and she quickly took out the Mobirate.
“Gokai Change!” she shouted, using the same method she used to transform into GokaiRed, but this time, her suit glowed red before, with a flash of the design that appeared on the key, she was now in the suit of KyoryuRed, with a red skirt of course.
=KYO~RYUGER!=
“Sugoi…” Gokai-KyoryuRed simply said in amazement.
This got the other Gokai-Ponies to look over for a moment, and all of them gawked at this, especially GokaiSilver.
“HOW’D YOU DO THAT?! THE GOKAIGERS DIDN’T HAVE ACCESS TO POWERS AFTER THEM!” Silver shouted.
“I dunno… I just thought I needed more power, and then I hit the button on the… buckle, and it gave me this key,” Gokai-KyoryuRed replied.
“Wow…” GokaiPink gasped, a bit louder than she normally would as Fluttershy.
Gokai-KyoryuRed then began to fight the Neo-Goumin with ease, kicking them down, and then doing some attacks from mid-air.
“So… it works like this?” Yellow said, pressing the button on the buckle, and another Ranger Key appeared. This Ranger Key was mostly yellow, except for half of the torso and the key’s left arm which were black, the torso having it split by a white line making it look like the number four, and the helmet had a large silver mouthpiece with an equally large black visor.
“Gokai Change!” Yellow shouted, after gracefully dodging some attacks from the Neo-Goumin, quickly inserting the key in her Mobirates.
=DE~KARANGER!=
With the flash of what looked like a silver badge with a dog’s profile on it, GokaiYellow became what her key looked like, white gloves adorning her front hooves similar to Gokai-KyoryuRed, but the sides of her helmet had red diamond-shaped lights, the dog badge on her forehead just under her horn along with four black lines forming a V under it.
“Try this on for size!” Gokai-DekaYellow shouted, charging forward, and attacking with some blasts from the D-Shot, which was a blaster that had an almost stick-thin barrel, but all the blasts hit the Neo-Goumin with ease, knocking them to the ground.
“That looks like a lot of fun! I’ll change to somepony else too!” GokaiGreen said, doing a hoof-stand, and using her hind hoofs in a bucking fashion to send the Neo-Goumin flying. She pressed the button and saw the key but she put it back and pressed the button again. “Oh, this one looks cooler!” she said, holding up a key which had a large four over where the heart would reside, inside a circle which resembled train tracks along with lines connecting to both sides of the torso, and the helmet had a visor which looked like it was covered by silver train tracks and the parts above it looked like a green bullet train with the number 4 in the front window.
Green giggled a bit, before she readied the Key. “Gokai Change!”
And so, she inserted the key into her Mobirates.
=TO~KKYUGER!=
With a flash of the letters ToQ, GokaiGreen transformed into the green ranger on her key, but all her hooves were covered with white boots.
“Nice!” she said, readying an axe weapon. Meanwhile GokaiBlue, GokaiPink and GokaiSilver grouped up, simply watching the others. “Alrighty, we got Kyoryuger, Dekaranger and Tokkyuger. You two wanna match up or branch out?” Silver asked.
“How would we know which would match up?” GokaiBlue asked.
“Just look and see what you want,” Silver said, as Blue gave a small shrug, simply thinking for a moment, and then pressing the button.
Yet, she both ended up with a completely different key from what was already seen. GokaiBlue’s was a blue key with white boots and gloves, the parts connecting to the shoulders almost silver, with a white band across the chest that had five colored squares in it (from left to right they were black, yellow, red, pink, and blue), the part connecting the neck to the rest of the body was a yellow triangle while the blue helmet also had a silver mouthpiece, a near rectangular black visor, and a black circle on top.
“What’s this one?” GokaiBlue asked GokaiSilver as she pulled out the key.
“That is the Blue Senshi from Denji Sentai Megaranger!” GokaiSilver answered.
“Good enough fer me,” she shrugged, pulling out her Mobirates. “Gokai Change!”
=ME~GARANGER!=
With a flash of what looked like a golden envelope, GokaiBlue was now donned in the suit of the Megaranger.
“Alrighty!” she smirked, holding a blue and silver tomahawk before charging at the Neo-Goumin.
“Alrighty, now it’s my turn!” Pink said confidently, picking out a key.
Unlike the others, this key was almost all pink, with cuff around the wrists/forearms and at the edges of her boots, with top of its torso being white with a pink heart connected up to her neck by a pink line. It had a mouth molded into the silver mouth piece, and unlike the others, the top part of the helmet was black, with the visor actually being pink.
“Time to go for it! Gokai Change!” Pink exclaimed, loading in the key.
=TI~MERANGER!=
With a flash of a blue orb inside a black and white circle, GokaiPink was now in the suit that matched her key. She was now Gokai-TimePink. She held the two sabers, and simply smirked at the Neo-Goumin that surrounded her at the moment.
“Time’s up boys,” she said in a tone that she wouldn’t use, it seemed fierce, and almost sexy like, as she jumped up and struck the troops, this change in tone was noticed by Gokai-DekaYellow and Gokai-MegaBlue.
“Think that these Keys might change our personalities at all?” Gokai-MegaBlue asked.
“Nah, I think maybe that nopony knows it’s her, Fluttershy’s kinda letting go a bit,” Gokai-DekaYellow responded.
Suddenly, they heard Fluttershy scream before turning to see Gokai-TimePink being overwhelmed by the Neo-Goumin, and just when it seemed like she’d be knocked down…
=GO~SEIKNIGHT!=
The Neo-Goumin were soon blasted by some sort of laser as a pony with jagged armor that was silver on the outside of her body, black towards the inner, the chest having a silver face like a lion with the top being gold and eyes being green, but the helmet was mostly silver with the sides looking like a gold mane (with small red eyes making them look like lion heads), the visor being red, the mouthpiece having black lines, and the forehead having a gold decoration with the top resembling bird wings, the middle showing ocean waves, and the bottom representing the earth itself while the whole thing looked like a face.
“Sorry I got a little cocky…” Gokai-TimePink said a bit nervously, as she knew that the warrior was really Dash Gokai Changed into the sixth senshi of the 34th Super Sentai, GoseiKnight of the Goseigers.
“It’s okay. Sometimes you need to let that side out now and then to truly get into the battle. ‘sides, you transformed into the leader of the Timerangers,” Gokai-GoseiKnight replied.
“I know, I love the story of the Timerangers,” Gokai-TimePink responded.
“I know. Now let’s take these freaks down!”
The six proceeded to beat most of the Neo-Goumin, and simply stood ready to continue.
“So… are we limited to our own colors? I kinda can’t remember the story of the Gokaigers that well…” Gokai-TimePink asked as they reverted to Gokaiger mode.
“Nope, we’re not color-restricted,” GokaiSilver informed as the other Gokaigers regrouped with them and reverted to Gokaiger form as well.
“Mind giving us an example color?” GokaiRed asked.
“We’ll all go red in that case,” GokaiSilver nodded as GokaiRed pulled out a key similar to Tokkyu4, except the train helmet resembled a steam engine. GokaiBlue pulled out a red key that had the golden design the looked like the top of GoseiKnight’s crest with white gloves, white pants that reached down to red boots, the same crest that was on GoseiKnight’s helmet on the forehead of this one, a black visor trimmed with gold, and a mouthpiece with a molded mouth. GokaiPink held a key like TimePink, except it was red with the hearts replaced by triangles. GokaiYellow also pulled out a red key, but it was much different from the others as the chest was white with ornate designs, white bands on both the arms and legs, white gloves and boots, with the helmet having a molded silver mouthpiece, a black visor, a silver band across the forehead that connected to silver circles over the ears, and a black square over the forehead and top of the head. GokaiGreen grabbed a key that was mostly red, with the exception of a black claw mark over the center of the chest, and the sides having tiger stripes; the helmet also had the feel of a tiger as the top of the helmet showed tiger stripes while the visor almost looked like lenses to a pair of sunglasses. Finally, GokaiSilver pulled out a key with red boots, white legs, red shorts, a mostly white torso with some designs forming a V and a bird that had wings stretching over his shoulder, red sleeves, white gloves, and a red helmet resembling a hawk with the beak being yellow.
“Ready girls?” GokaiRed asked.
“Ready,” they responded.
“Gokai Change!”
And so, various symbols flashed before them as they transformed into the forms the keys were designed after, with the added skirts and their natural pony features.
=TO~KKYUGER!=
=GO~SEIGER=
=BI~OMAN!=
=GE~KIRANGER!=
=TI~MERANGER!=
=JE~TMAN!=
The Neo-Goumin looked on in shock, seeing a barrage of red.
“Let’s give them a show they’ll never forget!” Gokai-Tokkyu1 smirked.
Gokai-GekiRed led the charge, doing a series of flips and power kicks and punches on the Neo-Goumin. She was followed up by Gokai-Red One, who pulled out a sword with a red hilt that she wielded with great ease alongside a short sword that looked like a dagger with a guard on the hilt. She was followed by Gokai-TimeRed, who dual-wielded two swords that looked like giant red clock hands.
Next in the barrage was Gokai-Red Hawk, who used her wings to go for a fury of aerial attacks, her wings acting like sharp blades slashing at the Neo-Goumin, then came Gokai-GoseiRed, wielding a red sword with a large guard, and as she slashed, one could almost see the aura of a red dragon along with her. Finally, Gokai-Tokkyu1 stood ready.
“This is your final stop!” she exclaimed, charging forward, wielding a sword tipped red at the blade and hilt while the blade looked like railroad tracks, and she slashed at a lot of the Neo-Goumin just as easily as the others. This finished the last of them, and after reverting back to Gokaiger mode, the six trotted off, hid, and then returned to normal, all simply smiling.
“That was… AWE-” Dash started, when Rarity put her hoof in Dash’s mouth.
“Not so loud dear. I think it’s safer if fewer ponies knew we actually were the Gokaigers,” Rarity whispered.
“What’s the point? Most of Ponyville saw us transform anyway,” Dash pointed out.
“Actually, they didn’t. I did some magic to make them forget just before we came over here, they didn’t see us turn into those warriors, so now we need to keep this on the QT, okay?” Twilight said.
“...Fine…” Dash groaned.
“That was so much fun! Do you think I should get some green highlights in my mane?” Pinkie asked.
“...I don’t know dear… it might not look too good on you,” Rarity answered.
“It was a joke,” Pinkie informed.
“Uh… when I said ‘Time’s up boys’ do you think I was acting… out of character?” Fluttershy asked AJ.
“...Well… Ah admit Ah didn’t see that one comin’... but… we won’t hold it against ya,” Applejack smiled.
“...Thanks,” Fluttershy smiled.
“The 40 Super Sentai teams are in our hands now girls, and it’s up to us to keep the world safe, but as your leader, I can assure you, we can do it!” Twilight stated.
“Hold up there, Twi… what makes you think you’re the leader?” AJ asked.
“Red Senshi always lead, right Dash?” Twilight responded.
“Well… most of the time, but there was Kakuranger led by NinjaWhite, Megaranger led by MegaBlue, Timeranger led by TimePink, and Gekiranger led by GekiYellow,” Dash informed, and then Twilight simply sighed a little annoyed. “...But GokaiRed was indeed the leader of the Gokaigers, so… yea…”
Author's Note
Hey guys, this is Kamen Rider SEGADash, and this is my first story up here on fimfiction, but it was originally a fiction of a friend of mine's on fanfiction. My profile there is KKD Silver, and my friend there, Pikatwig, let me post this here. I hope you all enjoy it, because it took us quite a while to work on this and the other story this is paired with. Regardless, I hope this is original enough for the site, and I hope you all enjoy it.
DISCLAIMERS: As with most, neither Kamen Rider SEGADash nor Pikatwig own any of the franchises involved, including, but not limited to, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Super Sentai, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, or anything else used here; they are owned by their respective owners such as Toei, Bandai, Shotaro Ishinomori, Hasbro, Lauren Faust, The Hub, etc.
"The... Gokaigers?! How is this possible?!?!" Crageson roared.
“Somehow those ponies got to the Ranger Keys before us, and they had the Gokaigers’ equipment with them,” Tankdom noted.
"Oi... what's with all the noise? I'm trying to do something over here!" A new voice complained as a dinosaur-themed being walked in, with blue skin while wearing a pale blue-silver armor that resembled a knight, but it almost looked tear-stained as his eyes also had a look of eternal sorrow in them.
"We've got a problem Tearsome! The Gokaigers are back!" Onichan Jizo informed.
"How sad... luckily, I know just the Action Commannder to ask to dispose of them," Tearsome informed.
“Well then… bring this Commander in,” Onichan ordered.
A door then opened up, revealing a being that was clearly themed after a pump, with the handle on his head and spouts out his chest and in place of his right hand; his primary colors were green and blue with his blue arms looking like hoses of sorts.
"I am Kamenpump," the Action Commander said, bowing.
“Kamenpump, your mission is clear. Destroy those blasted Kaizoku and bring me the Ranger Keys at once!” Onichan snapped.
He bowed, and then walked off, Tankdom seeing someone standing in a nearby room, her body covered by a black cloak, and her violet eyes visible. He said nothing to her, not noticing a Green Senshi Ranger Key in her hands.
"They're all real," Twilight said, looking at the Super Sentai books around the shelves.
“I know! Totally awesome, right?” Rainbow Dash smirked, as she was with Twilight that day.
Twilight wasn't sure how to respond, beyond looking at her GokaiRed Key.
“What’s wrong?” Rainbow asked Twilight.
“I’m just a little nervous about all of this…” Twilight admitted.
“What exactly are you nervous about?” Dash asked, still a bit confused.
“Being a Gokaiger and all that jazz,” Twilight answered.
“It’s gonna be awesome, Twi. I know it usually comes with all these responsibilities we have to worry about, but I’m sure we can handle it with no problem,” Dash assured, “Remember how we were able to take down those Neo-Goumin?”
“Yea I know…” Twilight nodded.
“Trust me, we can handle these guys.”
Twilight gave a nervous shrug, before Dash recalled something. “Oh right! Rarity wanted to meet with all of us, not sure why though…”
“Well… I guess we’d better go meet up with her then,” Twilight shrugged.
Thus, the two were off, as they walked through Ponyville, they heard various ponies talking about the Gokaigers, but they couldn’t clearly hear what it was they were saying.
“Seems news of the Gokaigers spread rather quickly,” Twilight noticed.
It wasn’t long before they met up with the others at the Carousel Boutique where Rarity worked.
“Hi girls,” Fluttershy smiled, as the two sat down in seats that had their names labeled on them.
“So what’s up?” Dash asked.
“Rarity said she has some new clothing for us… or something like that,” Fluttershy told her.
Rarity then trotted in, with a bulletin board of sorts, which had several designs on them, the first of these being an outfit for an alicorn that had a white shirt, black and red vest, a red pirate coat trimmed with gold, as well as having a black skirt. The second had an outfit for an Earth pony, consisting of a black shirt, a blue leather jacket, and some gray pants. Then, there was an outfit for a unicorn, which had a black and white striped shirt, a yellow coat of sorts with a (black leather skirt. The next outfit for an Earth pony had a sort of green plaid shirt with a green coat that had golden decorations on it, and a (insert color) skirt. The next one was designed for a pegasus, and it consisted of a white dress with pink details on it, and a pink coat with white fur underneath. Finally, the last outfit design, also designed for a pegasus, ha a grayish silver shirt with a black vest, a bandana that’ll show off some of the mane of the wearer, black pants, and a rainbow styled skirt attached to the black pants.
“I made all of these for us,” Rarity informed.
“...Uh… no offense Rarity, but may I ask why you designed these outfits?” Twilight asked.
“I’ve heard the pirate look is in because of us,” Rarity informed, as they heard ponies screaming from outside.
“...Really? Everypony is suddenly into pirate outfits? The stallions and colts I understand, but even the mares and fillies are into it?” Dash asked, “That’s a lot of hype over a new outfit style.”
“No, they’re running in panic from something!” Twilight said, seeing some sort of kaijin from behind the ponies.
“What the heck is that?” Applejack gawked.
“Any ideas Dash?” Twilight asked the rainbow mare.
“Must be enemy forces!” Dash said, as the six ran to hide, and then brought out their Ranger Keys.
“Let’s get to it girls!” Twilight announced.
“Gokai Change!”
=GO~KAIGER!=
As the monster, who happened to be Kamenpump, was attacking the town, GokaiRed jumped in and kicked him dead in the face.
“Gokai-” GokaiRed was about to start, when a can hit her helmet. “What the?”
Before the new Gokaigers could say anything, they saw a lot of the ponies in Ponyville holding various objects as if ready to throw them in one way or another. And the targets, the Gokaigers.
“What’s this for?! You should be throwing things at the bad guy!” GokaiSilver stated.
“We are throwing them at the bad guys!” Lyra shouted.
“We’re not the bad guys!” GokaiSilver snapped in response.
“Yea you are! It’s because of you, our city is being attacked!”
Kamenpump couldn’t help but laugh at this, as the Gokaigers were still being beaned by various items.
“This is just rich! I don’t even have to eliminate you fools!” Kamenpump laughed.
The six couldn’t believe that they were turned on, before GokaiRed used her magic to teleport them out of sight, and they de-henshined.
“What was that all about?” Applejack asked.
“Why did everypony think we were the bad guys? We aren’t teamed up with the monster,” Pinkie added.
“Uh girls, I think I got a reason. The new Zangyack leader said she wouldn’t attack if nopony interfered with their search for the Ranger Keys,” Dash informed.
“Why would they listened to her?” Fluttershy asked, confused.
“We were the ones who interfered, so now… they’re blaming us for them attacking…” Twilight figured.
“...Oh…” the other mares gawked, Twilight slumping her head down in shame. They were all silent, not knowing what to say or do.
Meanwhile, Onichan was watching a recording of what just happened, and was laughing like crazy.
“Oh, this is just rich!” she laughed like crazy.
“But your mission to get the Ranger Keys still stands, don’t forget that.” Crageson informed.
“I understand, and thus, I shall go back soon.” Kamenpump said, as he walked off.
Back down on Equestria, the Mane 6 weren’t doing so good, knowing all of Ponyville was now against them. Essentially branded as criminals in Ponyville, they were forced into hiding. They were still in Twilight’s house, simply trying not to cry.
“Now what do we do?” Fluttershy asked in sobs.
“I don’t know, Sugarcube. Nopony here trusts us, and it seems even our family is against us,” Applejack sighed, a knock then came from the door, and Twilight sighed.
“There’s nopony here,” Pinkie said.
“Would you guys just open the door?” Spike asked from the other end of the locked door.
“Spike?” Twilight gawked, opening the door and quickly letting him in before closing it and locking the door again.
“What is wrong with you all? You’ve been like this all day,” Spike inquired.
“...Didn’t ya hear about what happened recently?” Applejack asked.
“The new team of Gokaigers got hit by stones and such,” Spikes responded.
“Well-” Applejack was about to start when Rarity covered her mouth, and the six went into a group hudle.
“Should we tell him?” Pinkie asked.
“Pinkie, it’s Spike we’re talking here. I’m sure we can trust him with this information,” Dash told her.
“But… what if he turns on us?” Twilight asked fearfully.
“Why’re you of all ponies doubting him, Twilight? You’ve known him longer than any of us,” Dash reminded.
“I’m scared…” Twilight sighed, a few tears falling from her face.
“...Okay Twilight… let me tell him, ok?” Rarity sighed, as Twilight gave a wordless nod.
With that, the Mane 6 broke the huddle and Rarity approached Spike.
“Can you promise to keep what I’m about to tell you a secret, Spike?” Rarity asked.
“Okay,” Spike nodded, when Pinkie trotted over. “Pinkie pie promise?” she added.
Spike sighed at first before nodding and performing the actions while reciting the Pinkie Promise, “Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.”
“Okay…” Rarity nodded, taking out the GokaiYellow Ranger Key.
“Wait, isn’t that…?” Spike gawked.
“Gokai… Change,” she said weakly.
=GO~KAIGER!=
“Wait… you’re the… Gokaigers?!” Spike gasped.
“Yep,” AJ responded.
“Oh… wow… I don’t know why everypony’s all mad about you guys; you were awesome! I saw your entire fight and…” Spike started to ramble before Twilight stuck her hoof in his mouth.
“Not now Spike. As much as I’m glad you’d supportive of us, everypony else isn’t,” Twilight sighed.
The six were saddened by this. “So are you six just going to hide here the rest of your lives?” Spike asked.
“...I hope we don’t have to,” Fluttershy whimpered.
“There’s gotta be somepony in Equestria who can trust us,” Dash sighed.
Twilight then began to think of an idea until she remembered something important.
“Maybe there is. But we’ll need to go to the Crystal Empire, and we’ll need to bring the keys with us just to be safe,” Twilight told the others.
“That sounds like a good place to stay,” Dash said.
“What do the rest of you think? Think it’s a good idea?” Twilight asked the others.
The rest gave a nod in agreement, and Spike quickly sent a letter to the Crystal Empire, explaining the situation.
“Okay, with that out of the way, go home and gather what you need to get girls; we’re leaving for the Crystal Empire tonight,” Twilight instructed.
That night, the other ponies gathered up their belongings, Rarity and AJ leaving notes for their families, and they all gathered outside the library.
“Okay, is everypony ready?” Twilight asked, getting nods from everypony… well… almost everypony.
“Uh… one problem Twilight. Your balloon’s not big enough for all of us,” Dash pointed out.
“Then how are we supposed to get to the Crystal Empire in time?”
“If the Ranger Keys, Mobirates, and my Cellular are real, then odds are that the mecha for the Sentai are real too; you can summon the GokaiGalleon with your Mobirates.”
Twilight gave a shrug, as Dash showed her how to do it, and they waited about five seconds before hearing…
=GO~KAIGALLEON!=
“That… seemed a little loud, Rainbow,” Twilight pointed out before they looked up and saw a huge red ship flying in the sky as a bunch of ropes lowered down for the group.
“This is our way up. Grab a rope mares and Spike,” Dash informed as they did so and they were pulled up into the mecha ship, none of them aware of Luna observing the entire thing. After taking a few minutes to load their belongings onboard, they were off.
“This place looks amazing,” Twilight stated, walking into the main room.
“I’ll say,” AJ nodded.
“Could use a bit of paint, but it’s nice,” Rarity added, as Twilight sighed, walking over to the captain’s chair.
“Better get used to it, because until this all blows over… this is home,” Twilight informed.
“Aw YEA!” Dash cheered.
“Wait… you can’t be serious… are you, Twilight?” Rarity gawked.
“Hey, you said so yourself, pirate is coming into style, so if it works in fashion, why not go for real estate, too?”
“Twilight… can I get some sleep?” Fluttershy asked, fluffing a pillow.
“You can, Fluttershy. We’ll just wait here for now, and wait until later. It’s been rough for us all, so everypony get some rest. You’ll need it,” Twilight told the others.
“Wait… what about cover? The GokaiGalleon sticks out like a sore thumb, I mean how else do you think that the Goseigers found it to launch their attack on the Gokaigers for GoseiKnight’s Ranger Keys.” Dash inquired.
“Good point… I could use a spell to conceal it until we’re ready,” Twilight figured. Suddenly, a letter came for the group appeared in a green fire, which was caused by a burp from Spike.
“A letter? At this time?” Twilight gawked as Spike examined it.
“It’s from Princess Luna,” he noticed, surprising the Mane 6. “She said, ‘Dear Twilight and Friends, I know just what’s going on, and trust me, your secret’s safe with me. I’ll help you out by providing a cover spell to camouflage your vessel, and don’t worry, I know you are true heroes. Good luck to all of you in your new roles. Yours Truly, Princess Luna.’”
The group all simply smiled, before yawning. Each one of them got a pillow and found somewhere to lie down to sleep. Unknown to them, Princess Luna did her spell on the GokaiGalleon, and then she trotted off to allow Celestia to raise the sun.
“...I hope dear sister will understand what is happening as of late, my friends…” Luna mumbled before returning to Canterlot.
Up at the Neo-Zangyack Castle Ship, they were waiting for the right moment to strike Ponyville, when the radar showing the location of the Ranger Keys showed that the dot was moving.
“Nani?! The Ranger Keys are on the move!” Crageson informed Onichan Jizo, as he had noticed this first.
“The new Gokaigers must be retreating from the ponies they so wish to protect,” Onichan figured.
“And we can’t track how they’re moving! We destroyed that ship the original Gokaigers used, right Tearsome?” Crageson asked.
“Oh, uh, I had something to take care of, so I told Sparklefun to do it,” Tearsome informed.
“Sparklefun, get in here RIGHT NOW!” Onichan ordered.
As if on cue, a female figure rushed in, she had golden blonde hair tied into a ponytail, blue eyes on her white smiling face with pink lipstick, a pink and yellow top with puffed up shoulders shaped like hearts, a large skirt that was pink and blue, but almost had the appearance of some sort of tied up hoodie, and she had large yellow boots that almost looked like a combo of sneakers and high heels.
“You called, Onichan-sama?” this female, Sparklefun, panted.
“Tearsome said he passed the task of destroying the GokaiGalleon to you. Did you do it?!”
“Uh… here’s the thing, after we got rid of the original Gokaigers and Tearsome passed the job down to me… I found this thing called a video game, and it ate into my time… so long story short: no, no I did not.” Sparklefun informed, giggling at the end.
Onichan just growled, irritated at that.
“Those ponies must’ve found a way to summon that blasted ship!” she roared before realizing something. “Which means, it should be out in the open, easy to spot seeing the Kaizoku never bothered to add in a cloaking device of any kind.”
“Uh… it’s not showing up on any radar…” Tearsome informed.
“Grrr… In that case… Kamenpump! Get down there, track the Ranger Keys, and find out where they are!”
Kamenpump gave a bow before heading out.
At the Galleon, Dash dumped all of the Ranger Keys out onto the ground, and had various name tents with each team name and symbol on them.
“Um… Rainbow Dash?” she heard a voice ask as Dash turned to see Applejack walk in, “What in tarnation do you think you’re doing with the Ranger Keys?”
“Organizing them. I’m just going through and seeing what Ranger Keys we do have, and which ones we don’t,” Dash explained.
“What do you mean by that? How many groups do you need to organize these in?”
“Let’s see, there’s 40 Super Sentai teams, add the Go-Busters, Kyoryugers, Tokkyugers, Virtualrangers and Matarangers to the Super Sentai 199, there’s a grand total of… a rough 234 if I did my math right.” Dash informed, picking up a random Ranger Key from the pile, this was TimeRed’s Ranger Key.
“Golly! That’s a lot of keys. So… do we have to divide up the keys between us in terms of who uses what keys normally?” AJ asked.
“Nope, original Gokaigers didn’t do it. Don’t think we should,” Dash said putting TimeRed’s Key to the area with a name tent with the words “Mirai Sentai Timeranger” written on it.
“Jus’ checking,” Applejack nodded. Thus Dash continued to sort the keys, muttering the name to herself, and checking them off on a list with all 234 Super Sentai warriors on them.
“How long has she been at this?” Twilight asked a while later.
“About an hour or so, I reckon,” AJ answered, “She wants to make sure we have every single key, and she’s so dedicated, she’s counted ev’ry single Ranger Key, totaling 234.”
Dash yawned, as she was nearing the end of the pile. “Okay… next key is…” she looked at the red Ranger Key and saw it had a blue visor that almost resembled a sideways hourglass, a number 1 with wings on the forehead, the boots and gloves being white, and the chest having a single large yellow V. “Akaranger…”
She snapped wide awake, gasping at the very sight of the Ranger Key of the very first Red Senshi.
“Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! We got the first ever Super Sentai powers amongst the Ranger Keys! Those of the Himitsu Sentai Gorenger!” Dash cheered like a crazy fangirl.
Twilight and AJ rolled their eyes as Dash put the Key under the tent marked “Himitsu Sentai Gorenger”. She then saw there were only about 24 Keys left in the pile and it was the first Gorenger Key she found.
“Almost there… let’s see…” she pondered, still checking through the keys. “KyoryuPink,” she muttered, putting the Key with the other Kyoryuger Keys, simply looking at it, because KyoryuPink is her favorite Senshi. “Okay… just a few more left…” she yawned.
Later, Rainbow Dash had finally finished sorting the keys, but she noticed that they were missing 48 Ranger Keys.
"So... how many are missing Dash?" Fluttershy asked.
“We’re missing 48 keys, which include most of the Gorengers, a majority of the sixth rangers, all of the Bangai Heroes (which are essentially armored beings on a Sentai not counted as senshi but are still on the team), and 3 entire teams,” Dash answered.
"Wow... bummer for you, huh?"
“It’s not just me, but for all of us, seeing as Sentai don’t work the best when they are alone or separated; they’re meant to work together, and the same would apply to us,” Dash informed.
Fluttershy gave a nod, although she didn't comprehend all of what Dash just told her.
“Confused?” Dash asked.
"Little bit," Fluttershy admitted.
“I promise I’ll explain everything as best as I can when I can, Fluttershy,” Dash told her.
Fluttershy gave a nod before she simply sat down and began to relax a bit.
Meanwhile, Twilight was sleeping in the new captain’s quarters of the ship, seeing she was the leader of the new Gokai-Ponies. But… she was squirming in bed like she was uncomfortable about something.
(Enter Dream World)
Twilight and the other members of the Mane 6 managed to fight off some of the Mane 6 in Gokaiger mode, when they dehenshined however… a horde of ponies surrounded the six, sneering and jeering at them.
“It’s your fault we got into this mess!” one pony snapped.
“You should’ve handed them those keys when you had the chance!” another shouted.
With this, Twilight led the Mane 6, running out of town, but as they ran, more and more ponies were shouting at them, blaming them for their misfortunes, and even calling them the bad guys. Next thing Twilight knew, wanted posters of the Mane 6 were shown all over Equestria, wherever they went.
“Wanted: Princess Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash. Dead or Alive, Unlimited Reward.”
“No… no… no…” Twilight whimpered as she kept running with her friend, crying the whole way.
“Why sis? Why’d you do this?” Twilight heard Rarity’s sister, Sweetie Belle whimper.
“You shoulda known better than ta git us into dis much trouble!” an elderly female voice, Applejack’s grandma Granny Smith snapped as the rest of AJ’s family jeered at her.
“Twily? How could you do something so irresponsible?!” she heard her older brother’s voice shout.
“...What? We’re outcasts… even to our own families?” Twilight cried.
Suddenly, she stopped as a bright light shone upon her as she saw Princess Celestia looking on down at Twilight.
“Princess Celestia! You’ve gotta help us! PLEASE!” Twilight begged, but the Princess of the Sun just slumped her head down before turning away. “No! NO! Please Celestia! Please listen to me!”
Twilight just cried her heart out, feeling she brought the worst of any punishment onto her and her friends… but then, she took another look up, saw everypony else was gone before it turned to night and Twilight turned to see the Princess of the Night approach her.
“...Princess Luna?” Twilight gasped, still trying to recover from her crying.
“Are you okay Princess Twilight?” Luna asked.
“I… I don’t know, Luna…” Twilight sighed, as tears continued to drip down from her eyes. She then felt a cloth rub up to her eyes, and saw it was being held by Luna’s magic.
“You and your friends are doing a very brave thing, Twilight. I witnessed with mine own eyes the forces you have fought the night before the Neo-Zangyack sent their troops to Ponyville… and after everything you and thine friends did to assist me in my time of need, I know you are not to blame for what is happening,” Luna told Twilight.
Twilight sniffled a bit, before trying to calm down. “I… I…” Twilight tried to say something, but she couldn’t figure out what to say, before she walked over and simply fell to her knees, and Luna gave her a small hug, finally calming the young Alicorn Princess down.
“Thou hast followed what thou thought was right, Twilight. Remember that. You have such great friends to support you, including myself and know this… even if the whole world turns their back on you and your friends, always know that I will be by your side,” Luna said, as she disappeared, and a light began to envelope the dream area.
(Exit Dream World)
Twilight slowly opened her eyes, a smile on her face due to what she heard from Luna.
“Twilight, are you okay?” Dash asked as she trotted in.
“Yea… I am now,” she sighed.
“Well, I came to tell you we arrived at the Crystal Empire,” Dash informed.
“Thanks Rainbow. Let’s go and see it for ourselves.”
Later, the Mane 6 looked out at the Crystal Empire from the bow of the GokaiGalleon.
“It looks amazing even from up here,” Rarity noted.
“Yea,” Pinkie added.
“So pretty in the morning sun,” Fluttershy noticed as the sun was indeed starting to rise and the light of it reflecting through the crystals of the Crystal Empire made it look amazing.
“So Twilight, mind telling us what all that screaming was?” Dash inquired.
“Oh that? ...It was a bad dream… but… I’m okay now,” Twilight assured.
“Ah sure hope so, Twi,” Applejack sighed.
Later, the ponies lowered themselves down in front of the Crystal Palace, leaving the GokaiGalleon parked above them.
“Okay, now all we have to do is explain what happened to Princess Cadence and my brother, and hopefully things will go okay,” Twilight told the others.
“Not on my watch!” they heard a voice shout as they turned to see Kamenpump with a horde of Neo-Goumin, as well as a few beings larger than the Neo-Goumin with blue and black armor, as well as some white attachments.
“Oh great, Neo-Sugoumin, too?!” Dash groaned.
“Leave. My. Family. ALONE!!” Twilight shouted before she charged up and turning around quickly, she bucked Kamenpump hard in the chest, launching him a distance away.
“If you want us to leave you ponies alone, hand over the Ranger Keys!” Kamenpump shouted.
“Over my dead body! Everypony… IKUZE!” Twilight roared as the Mane 6 pulled out their Ranger Keys and Mobirates/Cellular.
“Gokai Change!”
=GO~KAIGER!=
“GokaiRed!”
“GokaiBlue.”
“GokaiYellow!”
“GokaiGreen!”
“GokaiPink!”
“Gooookai…SILVER!”
“Kaizoku Sentai…”
“GOKAIGER!”
With a twirl of her GokaiGun, GokaiRed stood ready with her fellow Senshi.
“Hade ne IKUZE!” she shouted, firing at Kamenpump.
The six charged, ready to get rid of the foe. Red and Yellow teamed up first, taking on a bunch of the Neo-Goumin, and yet the grunts fell rather easily.
“Rarity, help Fluttershy, I can handle this,” GokaiRed told GokaiYellow.
“Hai!” she nodded, rushing over as GokaiRed took on one of the Neo-Sugoumin, and was somehow able to knock it off its feet.
GokaiPink focused on using her GokaiGun, cleverly holding it with her wing as GokaiYellow came in to help.
“You like those guns, huh?” Yellow asked Pink before holding out her GokaiGun to her. “Care to trade?”
“Sure thing, heads up!” GokaiPink shouted, throwing her GokaiSaber to Yellow, who tossed her GokaiGun in response, both ponies catching the weapons very easily.
“Nice,” Yellow complimented, going for a real hack and slash method on the Neo-Goumin.
At the same time, GokaiBlue was holding off multiple Neo-Goumin with her sword as GokaiGreen was seemingly getting a little overrun.
“Shall we try trading weapons as well?” Green asked.
“Why not?” GokaiBlue responded before tossing her GokaiGun to Green.
At the same time, Green tossed her sword to Blue, and both ponies managed to beat the enemy troops. The six then converged around each-other, ready to fight Kamenpump.
“Okay everypony, let each go for a Dino Sentai,” Dash suggested, pulling out the key for KyoryuGold (which was Pteranodon themed with the dino-head looking like said dino and having two spiked shoulders instead of just one), but the other five exchanged a confused look about what Dino Sentai she meant. “What? I mean teams like Zyuranger, Abaranger, and Kyoryuger… teams themed after Dinosaurs… like KyoryuRed and KyoryuGold here for instance.”
“Oh!” the others nodded, GokaiBlue pulling out another Kyoryuger key (this being blue and the main theme being that of a Stegosaurus), Twilight pulled out a Ranger Key that was like KyoryuRed’s (being themed after a T-Rex), but it was different as the chest had a gold and black symbol resembling a T-Rex footprint, it had gold edges on the boots and gloves, it had white triangles all over its body, and the helmet was more like the head of the dino with the visor resembling the mouth while the mouthpiece was the same as the rest. Rarity pulled out a yellow key similar to Twilight’s, but it was themed after a Pteranodon, and Fluttershy revealed yet another Pteranodon themed Ranger Key that was colored pink, but had white diamonds going around the torso, the white gloves and boots had a similar effect with pink diamonds going around, the helmet had a smaller portion of pink for the Pteranodon itself, and it had a silver mouthpiece similar to that of the Goseigers. Finally, Green revealed she had a black key similar to Pink’s, but it had the theme of a Wooly Mammoth instead of the traditional dinosaur.
“Alrighty, let’s go Kyoryu ladies!” GokaiRed said.
“Gokai Change!”
=ZYU~R ANGER!=
=A~BARANGER!=
=KYO~RYUGER!=
With that, the Gokai-Ponies transformed into the forms of their respective keys.
“A kyoryu barrage?” Kamenpump sighed.
“Ikuze!” Gokai-AbaRed shouted.
“Hai!” the Gokai-Dino Senshi nodded before charging in.
First to attack was Gokai-AbaRed, who swung a huge T-Rex themed rod at the Neo-Goumin and Neo-Sugoumin. Next in came Gokai-Mammothranger, who jumped all over the place, swinging a huge black, yellow, and silver axe using just her tail, easily knocking over another Neo-Sugoumin. Gokai-KyoryuBlue then struck next, using her Gaburicaliber against the Neo-Goumin, as well as tripping a couple over.
Kamenpump began to walk back as the three pterodactyl senshi approached him.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Gokai-KyoryuGold asked, wielding a large blue and gold sword that resembled a Pteranodon’s head while Gokai-Pteraranger held a bow and Gokai-AbareYellow had a pair of daggers that looked like yellow Pterodactyl heads.
“Ptera… where are the tricera and tyranno?” Kamenpump wondered.
“You don’t have to worry about that for now,” Gokai-KyoryuGold smirked while the other two looked at her, confused. They all shrugged before they charged in, Gokai-Pteraranger jumping into the air before firing energy arrow at Kamenpump. This was followed by Gokai-AbareYellow attacking with the daggers before Gokai-KyoryuGold jumped up and delivered three hard slashes at the Action Commander.
“Onore…” he grumbled, as Gokai-KyoryuGold loaded three battery like devices into the sword.
“Three Zyudenshi set!” Gokai-KyoryuGold smirked before lifting the blue lever on the blade.
“Mind helping me with this, the weapon’s kinda heavy,” Gokai-KyoryuGold asked Gokai-Pteraranger and Gokai-AbareYellow.
“Sure,” they nodded, helping by gripping the blade’s handle with their tails. And then the attack flew through the air.
=ZAN~DAR~ THUNDER~!=
With that, the three swung the sword so hard and fast, it sent a huge thunderous shockwave with lightning at Kamenpump, literally shocking him and forcing him to back off.
The six then all smirked, going back to Gokaiger form.
“So, do the Gokaigers have a powerful blaster weapon?” GokaiRed asked GokaiSilver.
“Yea, the GokaiGalleon Buster,” Silver nodded as a large twin-barreled cannon themed after GokaiGalleon appeared above them before the six Gokai-Ponies caught it. “Everypony, stick your Ranger Keys into the slots in the buster.”
“Hai!” they nodded as Blue, Green, Yellow, and Pink inserted their keys into the respective slots, while Red inserted hers into the back slot before twisting it. “Ranger Key! SET!”
=RE~D CHARGE!=
“Let’s make this extremely showy!” GokaiRed shouted as the buster charged up with energy before the sail, that was a scope, targeted Kamenpump.
As the Buster was primarily held by GokaiRed, the other Gokaigers held on to help her with the recoil.
“GOKAIGALLEON BUSTER!” they shouted as Red pulled the trigger.
=RI~SING STRIKE!=
With that, two blasts came out of the barrels before they merged into an aura version of the front of GokaiGalleon before ramming straight into Kamenpump, slashing right through him.
“I hate you kyoryu… and I hate Kaizoku MORE~!” Kamenpump roared before collapsing, which created a huge explosion that somehow didn’t damage anything around the spot he fell to.
“Wow! That was huge!” GokaiPink gasped.
“Yea, they usually are,” GokaiSilver added.
“I guess we have a lot to get used to, Dash,” GokaiRed figured.
“ONORE! Nekomed!” Onichan shouted back on her vessel before another female figure walked up.
With a primary color scheme of red and purple this female had large cat paw-like feet and hands, an outfit that looked like it was sewed from various scraps of material to make a sort of nurse’s dress with an apron (a cat’s tail popping out between the seams), and on top her head of red wild hair that reached her waist was a white nurse’s hat with the red cross nestled inbetween two car ears, showing off her yellow cat-eyes and pink skin. She was also holding some sort of book in her right arm.
“You called, Onichan-sama?” the cat-girl creature asked.
“One of our monsters was destroyed by the new Gokaigers! Do your job and revive it already!” the leader of the Neo-Zangyack snapped.
She nodded, and then formed a violet orb in her right paw while chanting something in a mysterious language, then she opened the book that was now glowing silver before with a loud meow she sent the orb down to Equestria.
The orb collided with the remains of Kamenpump before they reformed and grew into a giant, which caught the attention of everypony in the Crystal Empire, including the Gokaigers.
“What in the world?!” GokaiPink gasped.
“Uh… Dash? What just happened?” GokaiRed asked.
“It turned into a kaiju!” GokaiSilver answered.
“A what?” GokaiYellow gawked.
“It means giant monster.” GokaiPink said.
“How’d you know that?” GokaiBlue asked.
“I studied Neghiponese,” GokaiPink responded.
“Which is very similar to the Japanese the original Sentai spoke,” Silver added, “But enough of that. Twi, summon GokaiGalleon, we’ll need it and our individual mechs to take down the kaiju.”
“Gotcha!” GokaiRed responded.
=GO~KAIGALLEON!=
With that, the red ship flew over before the ponies grabbed the ropes and were pulled in.
“Wait, what about you Dash?” GokaiRed asked.
“I can’t call in my mech yet. Guess I’ll handle crowd control,” GokaiSilver figured, jumping out and flying around to keep the Crystal Ponies safe as the GokaiGalleon flew closer to Kamenpump.
“Ok… uh… how do I control this thing?” Red wondered, pressing a button, which fired the portside blasters.
“That was close, but he’s on the starboard side!” GokaiGreen shouted.
GokaiRed looked at the control console, and fired a set of blasts from the starboard side.
“Okay, I think I got this. Okay, ready to deploy girls?”
“Yea!/Hai!” the four other Gokaigers nodded.
“Okay, GokaiMachines… Hasshin!” GokaiRed shouted as she pressed another button, releasing a yellow GokaiTrailer, a white & pink GokaiMarine, a green GokaiRacer, and the blue GokaiJet.
“Sugoi!” GokaiPink smiled.
“Now THIS is something!” GokaiBlue noted.
“Let’s show them the real super power of team-” GokaiGreen started.
“DON’T! EVEN!” GokaiRed shouted.
“Why’d you respond like that, Twilight?” GokaiYellow asked.
“I don’t like that line!” GokaiRed responded.
“Okay… in any case, we should fight back before this guy destroys the Crystal Empire,” GokaiBlue responded.
“Yea! Ikuze!” GokaiRed shouted.
With that, each of the mechs began firing at the Action Commander, however Kamenpump fired a blast from one pump, with GokaiJet getting GokaiMarine out of the way.
“Hey gals. I found a combination button… ya think?” GokaiBlue responded.
“Why not?”
“Let’s do this!” GokaiRed smirked.
“Kaizoku Gattai!”
With that the GokaiTrailer and GokaiMarine shifted to form legs, which connected into the silver ports in GokaiGalleon, that were the jet engines. The Galleon itself also shifted parts around before the GokaiRacer and Jet connected with fists coming out to form arms. The bladed tip of the bow came off as the bow split in half, revealing a head with black “hair”, a silver face with green eyes, and a bandana with the Gokaiger symbol on it. In the cockpit, all five Gokaigers appeared before the former wings of GokaiJet formed the hat of a Commodore, which the mech place on top its head before wielding the blades.
“Kansei, GokaiOh!”
“Huh?” Kamenpump gawked as the mecha appeared right before him.
“Wow…” GokaiBlue said in amazement.
“Why didn’t we bust these things out earlier?” GokaiGreen asked.
“It’s not a smart idea to bring them out when there’s no kaiju around!” they heard GokaiSilver shout from below.
“Okay” GokaiGreen replied.
“Well, let’s take this bloke down, girls!” GokaiBlue insisted as they controlled the mech to charge and it attacked Kamenpump with its blades, making his arm pumps get crumbled up.
“OH NO!” Kamenpump exclaimed.
“Let’s finish this now… uh Dash? How do we finish this?” GokaiRed asked.
“Insert the Gokaiger Keys into the slots in front of you; you’ll be able to do the Gokai Star Burst!” GokaiSilver shouted. “Oh, and when you turn the keys, you gotta shout out ‘Ranger Key set! Let’s Go!’ Okay?”
“Okay. Let’s do it, girls!” GokaiRed shouted, all of them pulling out their keys and inserting them in.
“Ranger Key, SET! Let’s Go!”
This caused the ports in GokaiOh to open up, the ports in the limbs revealing loading cannon balls before the chest opened to reveal a HUGE cannon.
“GOKAI STAR BURST!” they shouted before the mecha fired the cannonballs rapidly at the Action Commander, destroying Kamenpump in a HUGE explosion!
“YOSHA!” GokaiSilver cheered below.
After a little while, Twilight and the group managed to hide the GokaiGalleon, and walk in to where Princess Cadence is, all in their normal forms.
“Twilight, you’re back. Did you find anything out about the chest’s contents?” Cadence asked.
“Yes, and we’re here because of it. Uh… can your guards please leave?” Twilight asked.
“Of course,” she nodded, dismissing the guards, as Shining Armor walked in.
“What’s going on here?” Shining Armor asked.
Twilight let out a sigh, and then looked at the two. “What I’m about to tell you is secret between me, my friends, Spike and Princess Luna. Don’t tell anypony, okay?”
“Okay,” they nodded.
“Okay…” Twilight nodded before she teleported the chest in and showed the contents, holding up her Gokaiger key, specifically, “These are the legendary Ranger Keys thought to be a myth.”
“You mean they’re real?” Cadence gawked.
“Yes. And then we gained the powers of the Super Sentai teams, and now the ponies of Ponyville hate us, so we came to hide here!” Twilight explained, trying hard to keep calm.
“You mean… the pirates who attacked the invaders of Ponyville, the Neo-Zangyack, were… you girls?” Shining Armor gawked, having gotten word from some of the royal guards stationed there.
“Hai…” Twilight nodded.
“...That was a brave thing you mares did,” Shining said, surprising the Mane 6.
“You think so?” Twilight asked.
“Absolutely. I had a feeling those creatures couldn’t be trusted, but I never expected my own sister and her friends to stand up to them like that. Despite what anypony else may say… I’m proud of you sis,” Armor smiled at his little sister.
Twilight teared up and hugged her brother, who simply hugged her back.
“And you should know Twilight, if my husband trusts you with this, so do I. And if we are to assume that it was you who attacked the monster earlier, you are indeed great at protecting everypony else like you have,” Candence added.
“So… can we hide out here for a little while? Cause all of Ponyville hates us,” Dash asked.
“Yes, you can stay with us,” Cadence nodded. “Do not worry, I will attempt to clear things up in Ponyville with help of the Princesses if I am able to… not that I can share this secret.”
“Thank you so much,” Twilight said, hugging her sister-in-law.
“You’re welcome, Twilight,” Candence smiled.
Author's Note
Sorry for not posting this up yesterday, but I had some family with me yesterday. Not only that, but I was trying to work on other stories over on fanfiction, including one that I highly recommend you read over there. I'd post it here, except it has tons of references to two other stories that share its universe and I figured you wouldn't get if you didn't read them for yourselves. So again, check out my profile on fanfiction, KKD Silver, to check out these stories for yourself. So just hang tight, and I'll get MLP Gaim/MLP: Gaim Sengoku's next chapter up very soon.
DISCLAIMERS: As with most, neither Kamen Rider SEGADash nor Pikatwig own any of the franchises involved, including, but not limited to, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Super Sentai, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, or anything else used here; they are owned by their respective owners such as Toei, Bandai, Shotaro Ishinomori, Hasbro, Lauren Faust, The Hub, etc.
Back in Ponyville, the Cutie Mark Crusaders were attending school, and each member was just waiting until their teacher, Cheerilee, walked in.
“Alright everypony, settle down. Now, you all remember that today you’re to talk about the papers you wrote about a hero or group of heroes last night,” she reminded, “Okay? Who would like to present first?”
Scootaloo raised her hoof up high, a gleaming smile on her face.
“Ah yes, Scootaloo, please come on up,” Cheerilee replied as the young pegasus filly smiled and proudly walked up.
“I wrote my paper about the newest heroines to grace Equestria. The Kaizoku Sentai Gokaigers! Now before anypony starts saying they’re bad because of whatever, I think they are great heroes; when we were essentially threatened, these mysterious six ponies came and saved us from a terrible fate. I personally wonder who is underneath the suits, and I hope I can meet them one day,” Scootaloo summed up her paper. A few loose applause came from around the class, and then Scootaloo handed her paper to her teacher.
Later that day, the fillies and colts had just walked in after recess and Ms. Cheerilee sat up front with a set of the papers she graded.
“Okay everypony, I’ve graded your papers and will be handing them back to you,” Cheerilee informed, walking around and handing each one their grades, then she came across the CMC.
“Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, let me say I really enjoyed your papers; you both get As on them,” Cheerilee told the fillies, handing them their papers back.
“So… how did I do? I bet I got an A+!” Scootaloo said happily, as Cherliee sighed, and handed her the paper, “WHAT?! An F?!”
“I expect to see you after class today, young filly,” Cheerilee told Scootaloo.
“Ouch…” Applebloom and Sweetie Belle said as Cheerilee moved on and handed the rest of the papers back.
“Sorry about that Scootaloo,” Applebloom apologized.
Afterschool, most of the fillies and colts left, except for Applebloom and Sweetie Belle who were waiting outside for their friend. Inside, Scootaloo sat at her desk with Ms. Cheerilee looking down on her.
“...I… I don’t understand… why did I get an F on my paper?” Scootaloo asked, confused.
“Scootaloo… how can I put this bluntly? You know there’s a clear differences between good ponies and bad ponies, right?” Cheerilee started.
“Oh… that’s the reason? Yes, I know that, Ms. Cheerilee, but you forgot that the Gokaigers saved us from those Neo-Zangyack; they were just trouble!” Scootaloo insisted.
“Are you talking back young lady?” she inquired.
“...Sorry ma’am,” Scootaloo sighed, wanting to continue her point, but she knew it was pointless here.
“Now, I know you don’t want to keep this F. So, here’s what I’m going to do, you have all of Spring Break to write a new paper, about REAL heroes, understand?”
“...Yes ma’am…” Scootaloo nodded.
“Good. So have a good Spring Break Scootaloo,” Cheerilee smiled as Scootaloo walked out, looking a bit sad, soon meeting up with her friends.
“So, what’s the news?” Applebloom asked.
“She told me I can rewrite my paper during Spring Break… only I have to write it on ‘real’ heroes… should’ve known she still thinks that the Gokaigers are bad ponies like most everypony in Ponyville…” Scootaloo sighed.
“So… what are you going to do?” Applebloom asked.
“Guess I’ll try and find Rainbow Dash to re-write my paper,” Scootaloo figured.
Later, Scootaloo arrived at an orphanage, which was painted green on the outside. Sighing, Scootaloo walked in, ready to tell her caretaker the news.
The caretaker was a male unicorn pony with red fur, a purple mane, blue eyes, and a Cutie Mark that was actually three letters: TQG, the Q being a dark blue while the others were white.
“Raito,” Scootaloo said.
“Hi Scootaloo. What’s wrong?” Raito asked, seeing how Scootaloo looked.
“I got an F on my hero paper and I need to re-write it.”
“Why’s that? Who’d you write it on?” Raito wondered.
“The Gokaigers.” Scootaloo said honestly.
“I don’t see how you got an F,” Raito admitted with a smile, placing his hoof on Scootaloo.
“Anyway, I’m going to spend Spring Break with Rainbow Dash so I can re-write it. She told me she went to the Crystal Empire, so can I go?”
Thinking for a moment, Raito just smiled at the young filly.
“Sure, it’s alright with me, but you’ll need supervision, so Mio will have to go with you, okay?” Raito informed.
“I don’t mind, I actually like Mio,” Scootaloo smiled, before a thought came into her mind. ‘Wait… Raito, and Mio? And that symbol for his Cutie Mark… nah. I’m just over-imagining things.’
“In any case, you’d better go pack some stuff, Spring Break’s gonna last a week, and if you’re gonna spend it writing that paper, I suggest you pack enough stuff so you can enjoy the trip,” Raito informed.
Scootaloo gave a nod, before rushing to her room, and a female Unicorn walked down. This Unicorn was very similar to Raito, but her coat of fur was a bright shade of yellow, her mane was brown, her eyes were brown, and her Cutie Mark was actually the same as Raito’s.
“So full of energy and imagination,” this pony, Mio, said with a smile.
“Yea… she sure is…” Raito nodded in agreement, “Reminds me a bit of us.”
“Full of imagination, doesn’t know where she’s from, and likes trains… yea, she is like us,” Mio nodded.
“Yea… but she and the Gokaigers have a lot to learn… while you’re there, Mio, could you see if the six are ready for… it?” Raito asked.
“Hai hai, Raito-kun.”
In the Crystal Empire, many Crystal Ponies gathered around Gokai-Oh as it looked like it was about to do something. In the cockpit were all six Gokaigers, in suit.
“So you say we can summon powers of Sentai before and after us, Dash?” GokaiBlue asked GokaiSilver.
“Hai… but I don’t think it’ll work…” Silver responded, a bit hesitantly.
“We won’t know until we try. Let’s pick a Sentai and try it out,” GokaiYellow suggested.
“Let’s go with my favorite team, the Mahou Sentai Magirangers!” GokaiRed said.
“Okay!” GokaiGreen smiled as she, Red, Blue, Yellow, and Pink held up their respective keys and inserting them into the slot.
“Ranger Key, SET! LET’S GO!”
As the back twisted around, the panels opened up, the Crystal Ponies looking on with great intrigue, but when the chest opened… only smoke came out with a strange sproing sound, confusing many ponies, and making the Gokaigers sigh.
“Well… that didn’t work,” Silver said.
“Duh… okay, let’s try Timeranger! Ranger Key SET! LET’S GO!”
They did what they did before, but they only got the same results as before, and the Crystal Ponies down below were beginning to look bored.
“Girls, that wouldn’t have worked with Gokai-Oh anyways, seeing as it was a third of my mech, which I don’t have,” Silver informed.
“Grr… how about Kyoryuger? Ranger Key, SET! LET’S GO!”
And like the last two, nothing came out, and the Crystal Ponies were looking so bored they even began to leave. The Gokaigers simply sighed.
“Well, you were right Dash, the powers don’t work… for some reason,” Twilight said as they walked into the palace a bit later.
“When the original Gokaigers got the Greater Powers, as they were called, they had to be granted to them by the original Sentai,” Dash added.
“So now what do we do? Not like those Sentai guys can get to our world…” Applejack pondered as a knock came from the door.
“Hide,” Dash said, hardly above a whisper.
On cue, the Mane 6 scattered and hid in various parts of the room. The door opened revealing it was… Mio & Scootaloo.
“Hey… where is everypony?” Scootaloo wondered.
“SURPRISE!” Pinkie shouted out, tossing some confetti and jumping out from where she was hiding.
“PINKIE! We’re supposed to STAY hidden; it’s not a surprise party!” Dash hissed before she saw Scootaloo.
“Sorry, force of habit,” Pinkie responded, as Dash flew over and hugged Scootaloo.
“Heya Scoots, haven’t seen ya in a while,” Dash smiled.
“Glad to see you too, Dash,” Scootaloo smiled before something crossed Dash’s mind.
“Wait… what’re you doing here? Don’t you have school?” Dash asked.
“Spring Break. And I gotta rewrite a paper about a hero. I wrote mine about the Gokaigers and I got an F,” Scootaloo explained.
Twilight walked over, seeing Mio was there. “Who’s your friend?” Twilight asked.
“Oh this? This is one of my new caretakers, Mio,” Scootaloo answered.
“Caretakers?” Applejack asked.
“Would you mind if I explain it to them, Scoots?” Mio asked.
“...go ahead,” she nodded.
“See girls, Scootaloo is an orphan,” Mio informed, surprising the Mane 6.
“Wow.../Nani…?”
Mio nodded, and then looked at Scootaloo. “Her normal caretakers have gone on a vacation, and then me and my friend Raito came in to watch the kids.”
‘Mio? Raito? Those sound like names of the Tokkyugers? Could she…? No, it couldn’t be,’ Dash thought to herself at that point, not having seen her Cutie Mark.
“Still… to find out that Scootaloo is an orphan… that’s sad,” Fluttershy sighed.
“I’m here to watch over her.” Mio informed with a smile.
“That’s nice of you,” Twilight nodded.
Back up in that Neo-Castle, Onichan Jizo was pacing around, very irritated about her defeats at the hands of the Gokaigers.
“That last kaijin was a failure! We need something new… something we can use to make sure those blasted pirates don’t interfere!” she growled.
Then, Sparklefun skipped in with her usual smile, “I think I got just what you’re looking for,” she figured holding her hands out as a humanoid creature that resembled a tiger merged with an oni walked in; it had red and black striped fur with white in some places, and plenty of horn over its body, with a hint of some peach symbols as well.
“Momoeater, at your service!” the kaijin smirked.
“So… what’s this thing supposed to do, Sparklefun?” Onichan asked her general.
“Eat up imagination! It’ll make kids seem almost lifeless and dead, and then we can use kids to make sure those dumb kaizoku don’t mess with our plans!” Sparklefun informed.
“Interesting… well, what’re you waiting for? Get down there already, Momoeater. When you’re strong enough, destroy those blasted Gokaigers!”
“Hai Jizo-sama!” Momoeater responded, passing by the hooded figure on his way to the teleported.
Meanwhile, Scootaloo was hanging out with Rainbow Dash, the latter trying to help where she could in the Crystal Empire while the former was trying to write notes for her paper.
“Got some info about the story of your Cutie Mark, and… that’s it. What else can you tell me Dash?” Scootaloo asked.
“Well let’s see,” Dash thought, trying to think of something.
“Man… the only other thing I can think of is when you read to me and the other Cutie Mark Crusaders,” Scootaloo said.
“Oh, you mean the tales of the Super Sentai?” Dash asked, realizing what she meant.
“Yea… I love those tales. Can you read me one again? Please?” Scootaloo asked.
“Oh yea, that’ll be great. I got one, how about the time when the Tokkyugers teamed up with a hero known as Kamen Rider Gaim?” Dash offered.
“Kamen… Rider? What’s that? Wait… you mean like that ‘passing through’ guy from the Shinkenger story?”
“Similar, yes, but this Rider was someone very different,” Dash nodded. “Still wanna hear it?”
“Yes please!” Scootaloo pleaded, as Dash led her into a temporary room, and the two sat down on the bed.
“Okay, this one started when the Tokkyugers arrived in a place called Zawame City; it’s a nice city on the route of Rainbow Line, and for the Tokkyugers, no Shadow Line stop. So, the heroes decided to take a break and take in the sights before watching this small group of dancers who called themselves Team Gaim,” Dash started.
The Tokkyugers were watching the group, and admitted they were great dancers.
“Suddenly, some grunts appeared and began to terrorize the locals,” Dash continued.
“Were they the Kuros?” Scootaloo asked.
“Actually, no, they were not. Remember, I said Shadow Line didn’t have a stop in Zawame. Instead, the grunts were some sort of black and red creatures, with solid red faces. And the one leading them was some kind of giant mole man,” Dash continued.
The grunts and the mole kaijin were chasing people around, and one of Team Gaim began to run away, yet towards the Tokkyugers.
“One of Team Gaim’s members told the Tokkyugers to get out of there for their own safety as she had for the others in the area, but Raito insisted they’d be fine, showing off his TokkyuChanger, but this just confused the girl as a guy in a plaid shirt, orange vest, jeans, and sneakers ran up, holding a belt of sorts along with a lock that had an orange design on the front,” Dash continued.
=NOW COMMENCING HENSHIN! PLEASE WAIT BEHIND THE WHITE LINE!=
“Tokkyu Change!”
“As the Tokkyugers transformed, the new guy placed the belt on his waist, shouted ‘Henshin’ and opened the lock, which called out ‘Orange’ before he placed it in a slot on the belt,” Dash continued.
=SEIYA! ORANGE ARMS! HANAMICHI ON STAGE!=
“Eh?” the Tokkyugers and the new guy gawked at each other as they saw each other transform.
=TOKKYU #1!/#2!/#3!/#4!/#5!=
“Naturally… both benefactors were confused,” Dash added on.
“Wait… I saw a bunch of trains flying around…” the orange armored hero pointed out.
“An orange… on his head?” Tokkyu1 wonder, accidentally bumping into Tokkyu2, but he and the orange armored hero just stared at each other for a few moments, their fingers pointed at each other while the grunts and mole monster watched from below.
“What are you?/What are you guys?” Tokkyu1 and the orange hero, Gaim, asked each other.
“Can you picture it in your head Scoots?” Dash asked.
“Yea, completely,” Scootaloo nodded, “But it’s kinda funny thinking of a hero who transforms with a fruit landing on his head.” This got a bit of a giggle out of the filly.
“Not as odd as a group of heroes riding around on an imagination train using trains to henshin, and can switch colors?” Dash added jokingly.
“...Good point,” Scootaloo nodded. “So, what happened next?”
A ring then began to play, and Dash heard it. “Uh… excuse me for a moment…” Dash said, as she walked out of the room to answer her GokaiCellular. “It’s me, what’s up?”
-Dash, it’s Twilight. There’s some sort of kaijin running around town, and it seems to be stealing the energy from young kids. We need you over here pronto!- Twilight shouted.
“What? A kaijin stealing energy from foals? ...I’m on my way!” Dash nodded, hanging up before checking back with Scootaloo. “Uh… sorry Scoots, something came up, and I’m needed. I’ll be back though, I promise.”
Dash then flew off, and Scootaloo gave a small sigh. “Heh, a warrior with fruit on his head… that’s so silly,” she giggled.
Meanwhile, Twilight and the rest of the Mane 6, minus Dash, were hiding out, the Action Commander Momoeater attacking the young Crystal Pony foals before sucking up some sort of rainbow energy like it was juice, actually draining the color out of the young foals.
“That’s just cruel,” Pinkie whispered, remembering to stay quiet.
“That monster needs to be taught a lesson!” Fluttershy added.
“That was one tasty imagination… now let’s find some more kids!” the kaijin shouted, picking up the foal, and tossing it into a wagon filled with other foals, all drained of color.
“That beast is sucking them dry of their imagination? How’s that possible?” Rarity wondered.
“Wait a minute… if that monster is going after imagination then… wouldn’t that mean Scootaloo could be in danger?” Applejack asked.
“...Oh no… I asked Dash to hurry up… she should’ve stayed with Scootaloo,” Twilight groaned.
“What are we talking about?” Dash asked.
“Dash!” the rest of the Mane 6 gawked as they finally noticed Dash there.
“Again I ask, what are we talking about?”
“...We were talking about that monster attacking the foals,” Twilight answered, pointing to the monster sucking the foals dry.
“Yeesh… what’s it stealing from them, aside from color like Discord did to us,” Dash asked.
“He says it’s their imagination,” Rarity informed.
Dash gave a nod, before she readied her Cellular. “Gokai-”
“Shh! We can’t let the kaijin see us yet. And for all we know, Scootaloo could be in danger,” Fluttershy told Dash.
“Oh so-wait. Scoots?” Dash gawked, a bit confused.
“Man… I’d thought the Gokaigers would’ve shown up by now. Slurping imagination out of these kids like a good smoothie is getting boring. All I could ask for is a straw,” Momoeater groaned.
“That’s it, I can’t just sit here,” Dash groaned, preparing her GokaiCellular anyways. “Gokai Change!”
=GO~KAIGER!=
“Dash, WAIT!” Rarity shouted, but she was too late as GokaiSilver already rushed out and kicked Momoeater in the back.
“Eh? Oh… Gokaiger…! GOKAIGER! Finally, it’s about time you show up!”
“Shut up, will ya? I got somepony to keep from you, so I’m here to make it quick,” Silver growled.
“Oh… so you're harboring a kid with a boundless imagination? Sounds yummy~” Momoeater said, a bit of drool dripping down.
“Oh shoot… Now I’ve got more of a reason to get rid of you!” Silver growled, pulling out her Gokai Spear and charged, spinning it around and trying to attack the tiger-oni. The kaijin then picked up a foal, and GokaiSilver stopped almost instantly.
“What’s wrong there, Silver?” Momoeater taunted, as he put the kid down, and kicked GokaiSilver to the ground. “Ha ha ha! You’re completely helpless when little foals are involved, aren’t you?”
“SHUT UP! Gokai Change!”
=KYO~RYUGER!=
“I’m going to save those foals, and keep Scootaloo safe from you!” Gokai-KyoryuGold shouted. “Three Zyudenshi load- oh shoot…”
“What’s wrong? Low on power?” Momoeater scoffed, readying claws for combat.
“Oh no…” Gokai-KyoryuGold groaned before Momoeater slashed at her with his claws multiple times, forcing her out of Gokai-KyoryuGold mode, and then out of Gokaiger mode.
“Oh my… Dash is in trouble,” Fluttershy noticed as she and the rest of the Mane 6 were still hiding, “Shouldn’t we go and help her?”
“Good idea,” Twilight nodded.
“Gokai Change!”
= GO~KAIGER!=
“Dash, we’ll cover you! Go back to the Crystal Palace, get Scootaloo and run for it!” GokaiRed told Dash.
“Right… be careful, this guy is tough!” Dash told them before flying right back to the castle.
At the palace, Dash barged into her room where Scootaloo waited.
“Scoots!” Dash shouted.
“Dash? What’s going on?!” Scootaloo asked as the cyan pegasus grabbed her.
“No time to explain. We have to get you to safety, QUICK!” Dash responded before… one of her wings was slashed at, causing her to plummet to the ground, injured. “What the… OW!”
“Thought you could get away, could you?” the two heard a voice laugh maniacally before it revealed itself to be Momoeater approaching Scootaloo.
“Get your mitts off her!” Dash snapped, about to transform again, only for Momoeater to knock her GokaiCellular out of her hoof and then pick up Scootaloo and absorbing her imagination, turning the poor orange filly gray.
“SCOOTALOO!” Dash gasped.
“...Too bad for you… she had the most delicious imagination I’ve tried yet…” Momoeater smirked before holding the filly over his shoulder.
“Scootaloo, run for it!” Dash yelled, as she tried to get up, and did a move like the flying front Rider Kick.
However, Momoeater caught the mare’s hoof with ease.
“You really think that could stop me?”
Dash simply growled, before kicking Momoeater with her other back hoof. “Scootaloo, run!”
“...run…” Scootaloo responded in a monotone, almost with no emotion period, but she barely did anything, like she was completely drained of energy.
“Not like she could do that,” Momoeater scoffed, as he picked up Scootaloo, and then took off, Dash tried to fly after him, but couldn’t even lift herself off of the ground.
“I heard a commotion, what’s going on? Is Scootaloo okay Rainbow?” Mio said, rushing in.
“...No… Scoots… was captured!” Dash responded, feeling ashamed of herself.
Mio looked at Dash, helping her up, her horn glowing with yellow magic, healing Dash’s injured wing.
“Wow! That feels better, thanks. Wait, were you a nurse pony on the side?” Dash wondered.
“Yea. Anyway Dash, close your eyes for a moment.” Mio told her.
“What? Why?” Dash asked, confused.
“Just do it,” Mio insisted as Dash shrugged before doing so.
“Now imagine yourself beating that kajin for foalnapping Scootaloo,” Mio continued, as Dash nodded. “Can you picture it?”
“...I sure can,” Dash nodded with a smirk on her face, “I can totally see me… whooping that guy’s flank!”
“Good. And you have the power to do it, Silver-chan,” Mio smiled, making Dash’s eyes shoot wide open in realization.
“Wait… Silver? How’d you…?” she started before recognizing Mio’s color, recalling her name, and finally noticing the Cutie Mark, “...Mio… you mean you’re…”
“I see you figured it out. Hai, Watashi wa… Tokkyu3,” Mio nodded, a faint image of the Tokkyuger flashing in front of her body for a moment as Dash’s jaw nearly dropped.
“How’d you… get into our world?” Dash gawked, as Mio simply returned the GokaiCellular to Dash.
“That I can’t explain, Dash. But remember, Imagination is a great power. Be sure to never forget it as you save Scootaloo… Silver-chan,” Mio smiled, placing the GokaiCellular back in Dash’s hooves.
“...Hai,” Dash nodded, flying out of the palace to go after Momoeater.
Momoeater soon arrived at a lot of sorts, with the kaijin putting Scootaloo in a box with other foals, all drained of their imagination and energy. “Man… that kid was the best meal I’ve had all day!”
“Stop right there, kaijin!” he heard two voices shout at the same time, one he knew as the voice of GokaiSilver while the other was a male voice foreign to him.
However, he didn’t have time to counter before he was kicked aside by two hooves, one cyan and the other bright red. It turned out to be Rainbow Dash and… Raito?!
“Minna! C’mon, get up!” Raito responded, rushing over to the nearly exhausted foals, “You just gotta picture it, your Imagination, and reclaim it!”
“Eh? ...EH?! Raito… omae wa… Tokkyu1?!” Dash gawked, as Raito looked at the pegasus for a moment, a faint image of Tokkyu1 flashing in front of him for a moment like Tokkyu3 with Mio.
“Neo-Goumin, attack!” Momoeater roared as the grunts appeared, getting the attention of Dash and Raito.
“Raito-sempai… let me take these jerks down,” Dash insisted, pulling out her GokaiCellular and GokaiSilver key, “You help the kids reclaim their imagination.”
A few gun blasts came in, as the rest of the Mane 6 showed up.
“Minna,” Dash smiled.
“Sorry to keep you waiting Dash,” Twilight apologized.
“Let’s fight!” Dash said.
“Gokai Change!”
=GO~KAIGER!=
“GokaiRed!”
“GokaiBlue!”
“GokaiYellow!”
“GokaiGreen!”
“GokaiPink!”
“Goooookaiii...SILVER!”
“Kaizoku Sentai…”
“GOKAIGER!”
With a twirl of her GokaiGun, GokaiRed and her teammates prepared to charge.
“Hade ne ikuze!” GokaiRed shouted as she and GokaiBlue, Yellow, Green, and Pink attacked Momoeater, while Silver rushed over with Raito to help the foals.
“Imagine anything!” Raito insisted.
“Like that’ll help! I ate all of their imagination!” Momoeater scoffed while battling.
“You’re wrong! You may have sucked them dry of some energy, but imagination is boundless, eternal, and you can’t just take it away!” GokaiSilver shouted, making the foals gasp, but Scootaloo was the first to step out and she began to focus as hard as she could, trying to imagine something… then, something came to her mind.
It was one thing, seeing the Gokaigers save her. As if on cue when she began imagining, Momoeater began to glow with a rainbow aura and began to clutch his stomach.
“URK! Oh… I don’t feel too good,” Momoeater groaned before… screaming out loud, as Scootaloo’s imagination was restored, along with her color.
Suddenly, Scootaloo began imagining more simply the Gokaigers beating up the kaijin, but now she thought of them transforming into a particular sentai and doing so.
“GOKAIGERS! GOKAI CHANGE INTO THE TOKKYUGERS!” Scootaloo shouted.
GokaiRed gave a nod, as the team pulled out the Tokkyuger Keys, apart from GokaiSilver, who didn’t have hers.
“Gokai Change!” they shouted, inserting the keys.
=TO~KKYUGER!=
This time, the five Gokaigers were surrounded by a rainbow aura as the chest patterns from Tokkyu1 and Tokkyu4 appeared before all five of them, slamming into their chests and forming Tokkyuger suits. For Red and Green they were the same as before, but for Blue her number was 2, Yellow’s 3, and Pink’s 5. This was followed by miniature trains flying around them on railroad tracks, each one wrapping around the helmets of the Gokaigers the slowly changed into those of the Tokkyuger, Red and Green’s were like before, but Blue’s was a different model of bullet train while Yellow and Pink’s were more like subway trains. Finally, the transformation finished when the rails attached onto the Gokai-Tokkyugers’ helmets.
(Cue Music: Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger Opening Theme)
“Tokkyu1!”
“Tokkyu2!”
“Tokkyu3!”
“Tokkyu4!”
“Tokkyu5!” Scootaloo announced all of the Tokkyuger calls, before the Gokai-Tokkyugers could handle the rest.
“Shouri no Imagination, Ressha Sentai… TOKKYUGER!” the Gokai-Tokkyugers shouted together.
“Shipatsu Shinkou!” Gokai-Tokkyu1 finished before the five charged at the Neo-Zangyack forces.
“Victorious imagination? What’s that supposed to mean?!” Momoeater exclaimed.
“That’s none of your business!” Gokai-Tokkyu2 shouted as the five used some bulky silver blasters on the Neo-Goumin.
=BLASTING THROUGH!=
“Now this is fantastic!” Gokai-Tokkyu5 noted, easily blasting the Neo-Goumin without any troubles, as Mio arrived by Raito’s side, seeing this.
“Heh, she can hold her own easily.” Raito noted.
“They all can I see,” Mio nodded before each of the Gokai-Tokkyugers pulled out the individual Tokkyuger weapons.
“Signal Hammer!”
“Platform Trigger!”
Gokai-Tokkyu2 & 3 being the first of the five to do so, Gokai-Tokkyu2 blasted more grunts before Gokai-Tokkyu3 jumped in and pounded them with the hammer.
“Bridge Claw!”
“Tunnel Axe!”
Gokai-Tokkyu4 and 5 were up next, as they both slashed at some Neo-Goumin that got away from GokaiSilver, and both easily moped the floor with them.
“Rail Slasher!” Gokai-Tokkyu1 shouted at last, charging at Momoeater and slashing at him with ease. She then glanced over at Gokai-Tokkyu3, seeing the Signal Hammer, and then Gokai-Tokkyu1 walked over. “Hey Rarity, can I try being Yellow for a bit?”
“Eh? Well, okay…” Gokai-Tokkyu3 shrugged, about to pull out the Ranger Key she used when…
=NOW UNHENSHENING! THOSE IN A HURRY, PLEASE MAKE YOUR TRANSFERS AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE!=
“Eh? What’re you doing?” Gokai-Tokkyu3 gawked as Gokai-Tokkyu1 messed with a wrist-mounted device that had a toy train in it before 1 removed the yellow train and her red engine, swapping the positions of them.
“Just trust me Rarity,” Gokai-Tokkyu1 said, as she and Gokai-Tokkyu3 flipped the flap back down.
=TOKKYU1! RED NORIKAI TE YELLOW/TOKKYU3! YELLOW NORIKAI TE RED!=
Suddenly, the chest symbols seemed to pop out before rotating, changing the colors and helmets of the Gokai-Tokkyugers, but their numbers remained the same. Then, the chest symbols returned as Gokai-Tokkyu3 tried to figure out what happened.
“EH?! What the heck is that?! It’s imaginative, but it doesn’t make any sense!” Momoeater shouted.
“That’s the idea,” Gokai-Tokkyu1 smirked, holding up the Signal Hammer.
“Huh… she’s reminding me of you, Raito,” Mio giggled on the side.
“I can see why,” Raito agreed.
“Eh? Sugoi! Hey Fluttershy, wanna trade Ressha?” Gokai-Tokkyu4 asked Gokai-Tokkyu5.
“Eh?” the pink senshi gawked as Gokai-Tokkyu4 did what Gokai-Tokkyu1 did.
=NOW UNHENSHENING! THOSE IN A HURRY, PLEASE MAKE YOUR TRANSFERS AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE!=
=TOKKYU4! GREEN NORIKAI TE PINK/TOKKYU5! PINK NORIKAI TE GREEN!=
“Huh? What’s the point of this? It’s like some sort of silly toy gimmick.” Gokai-Tokkyu5 pondered.
“Don’t look at me; it’s fun!” Gokai-Tokkyu4 giggled as she charged around with the Bridge Claw. Meanwhile, Gokai-Tokkyu5 looked at her weapon, before lifting it with ease.
“Wow… she can lift that as easy as you and Hikari,” Mio commented.
“Yea, I noticed,” Raito nodded.
“Whoa! This seems to be getting a lil’ crazy here with the color changes girls,” Gokai-Tokkyu2 noted.
“But it’s fun! Oh, let me try that one!” Gokai-Tokkyu4 asked, trying to take the Blue Ressha, but each time she tried, Gokai-Tokkyu2 moved her hoof away.
“No way, Pinkie, you’re just going crazy now,” Gokai-Tokkyu2 responded before…
“Yoink!” Gokai-Tokkyu4 giggled, able to take the Blue Ressha and swap it with the Pink Ressha.
=TOKKYU4! PINK NORIKAI TE BLUE/TOKKYU2! BLUE NORIKAI TE PINK!=
“Here I go!” Gokai-Tokkyu4 smiled, blasting like nuts.
“Gimme that back!” Gokai-Tokkyu2 snapped, but she soon got surrounded and was forced to use the Bridge Claw to clear them out.
“Okay you little fillies, don’t keep that up for too long, you won’t hold those forms if you do,” Mio responded from the side.
“Eh?” the Gokai-Tokkyugers all looked confused, before they shrugged, but Gokai-Tokkyu1 and Gokai-Tokkyu2 walked over to Mio and Raito. “What’s that mean?” the two asked.
“You can’t just keep up the Norikai forever, even we couldn’t,” Raito informed.
“But since you’re only borrowing the forms, you’ll wear out the power a little faster and may end up reverting to Gokaiger form faster,” Mio added.
“Pinkie, I need that Ressha back!” Gokai-Tokkyu2 shouted, running after Gokai-Tokkyu4.
“Yea… we should switch back…” Gokai-Tokkyu1 added.
=NOW UNHENSHENING! THOSE IN A HURRY, PLEASE MAKE YOUR TRANSFERS AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE!=
=TOKKYU1! YELLOW NORIKAI TE RED/TOKKYU2! PINK NORIKAI TE BLUE!/TOKKYU3! RED NORIKAI TE YELLOW!/TOKKYU4! BLUE NORIKAI TE GREEN!/TOKKYU5! GREEN NORIKAI TE PINK!=
“So… shall we finish this using their bazooka?” Gokai-Tokkyu3 asked.
“Sure thing,” Gokai-Tokkyu1 nodded, the five tossing their weapons up before getting into position with the bazooka of the Tokkyugers, the Renketsu Bazooka, “And since this freak drank young foals’ imaginations like a milkshake, I say we finish him with a shake. Hissatsu: Milkshake Flood!”
After loading the silver train that acted as a bullet, it began to charge before they fired it, and a milkshake appeared from the silver train, and then it sprayed the contents from the straw from the shake.
“WAGH~! This is too much! Who came up with this, anyway?!” Momoeater gawked.
“She did,” the four Gokai-Tokkyugers said, pointing at Gokai-Tokkyu1, while Mio and Raito facehoofed.
“NO! That’s not the joke!”
(End Insert Music)
But regardless, an explosion occurred, sending the rainbow waves of imagination back to the foals, restoring their color, and this even granted Scootaloo her Cutie Mark: a rainbow colored train.
“Well, that’s just great. And a milkshake… honestly, how does that make any sense?” Onichan groaned.
“I dunno,” Sparklefun shrugged.
Back in Equestria, the Gokai-Tokkyugers returned to their normal Gokaiger forms.
“I’m… not done yet!” Momoeater roared, as sparks flew off of him.
“Okay, now for the GokaiGalleon Buster!” GokaiBlue shouted before they summoned the blaster in question.
“Okay, who should use the charge this time?” GokaiRed asked.
“I can do it. Sides, I read that GokaiYellow never fired the thing anyway,” GokaiYellow offered.
“Then you’re up,” GokaiRed nodded as she, Blue, Pink, & Green inserted their keys on the side before GokaiYellow inserted her key in the back slot.
=YE~LLOW CHARGE!=
Momoeater then looked at the Gokaigers, as he moaned a bit.
"GOKAIGALLEON BUSTER!"
=RI~SING STR~IKE!=
The group fired the blast, which turned into an aura version of GokaiGalleon like before before impacting with Momoeater, finally making him crackle with red electricity before he collapsed and exploded.
“They did it!” Raito cheered.
“ONORE! NEKOMED!” Onichan roared in anger.
“Hai hai hai…” Nekomed sighed, as she sent the purple orb down to where Momoeater was destroyed.
Once again, the purple orb hit the kaijin, causing it to turn into a kaiju.
"Again with the growing giant?" GokaiYellow groaned.
“This is a normal thing. Alrighty, you guys know what to do,” GokaiSilver said.
“Right,” GokaiRed nodded, dialing up the galleon.
=GO~KAIGALLEON!=
“Kaizoku Gattai!”
Once again, the Gokai Machines joined, and formed GokaiOh.
“Kansei Gokai-Oh!” they called out, as the mecha stared down the giant Momoeater.
“Heh, I’m so hungry, I think I can eat a Sentai mech!” the monster smirked.
“Like heck we’d let you,” GokaiRed responded as the mecha charged and slashed at Momoeater, but the kaijin actually took the swords and slurped them like spaghetti.
“You’ve gotta be kidding me,” GokaiBlue groaned.
“Oh no, this is gonna be real trouble,” GokaiSilver, standing with Raito and Mio down below groaned, as Momoeater then burped up the sabers, and actually used them against Gokai-Oh.
“Whoa!” the Gokaigers screamed as the mecha slammed hard on the ground in pain.
They were able to get up, when a shimmer came from the buckles.
“Uh, the buckles?” GokaiGreen gawked.
“Don’t worry, Green-chan,” Mio assured down below at about the same time, “You should be able to use the Tokkyugers’ Greater Power!”
With that, the Gokaigers gawked before hitting the button on the buckles, revealing the Tokkyuger keys.
“So… what do we do now?” GokaiYellow wondered.
“Maybe we can insert these into the slots like with the Gokaiger Keys,” GokaiPink figured.
“Let’s do this thing!” GokaiRed said.
“Ranger Keys, SET! LET’S GO!” they all shouted.
The flaps opened, but this time, emerging from them were what looked like bits of a red train before the chest opened up, revealing what looked like a steam engine folded up into the chest of the mecha, the colors all being those of the Gokaigers while the front of the engine also had the symbol of the Gokaigers.
“Kansei, TokkyuGokai-Oh!” the Gokaigers in TokkyuGokai-Oh shouted.
“Eh? What is this?!” Momoeater gawked before the mech charged and hit the kaiju with a hard punch.
“Wow…! The Gokaigers are indeed heroes… but I still need something new for my paper,” Scootaloo said, before she turned to see Raito and Mio, simply thinking.
At that point, TokkyuGokai-Oh grabbed back its swords that Momoeater spat at it earlier, connecting them at the hilts to form a naginata, something the original Gokai-Oh didn’t do on its own.
“Sugoi… Gokai-Oh could never do that… it must be the Tokkyuger powers turning what we imagine into reality! Imagination sure is powerful,” GokaiSilver said amazed.
“It sure is,” Raito smiled proudly.
TokkyuGokai-Oh then slashed again, not noticing a small shimmer appear, but Scootaloo noticed, as something fell to the ground, and she was amazed when she saw the shimmer die down. She approached it, seeing it looked like a mecha composed of five different trains.
“Tokkyu-Oh? A Ranger Key for the Mecha?!” she gawked.
“Well whaddya know. The Greater Powers do have more abilities than we thought,” Raito smiled.
“You should give that to the Gokaigers, who knows what it can do,” Mio suggested, as Scootaloo gave a nod.
With that, Scootaloo thought hard, imagining herself flying up to TokkyuGokai-Oh and being able to give the key to the Gokaigers. Then, she opened her eyes before making a huge jump and she found out… she actually WAS flying! She couldn’t believe it, especially when she was told she couldn’t fly due to some deformities before, but now… that was in the past. She focused on TokkyuGokai-Oh, found an opening, and flew right in, rushing towards the cockpit.
“Gokaigers!” she called out, surprising the Sentai with the fact that she got in there.
“Scootaloo?!” GokaiRed gawked.
“How’d you get in here?” GokaiBlue added.
“How’d you know my name… and uh, I saw a gap. Here, use this!” Scootaloo responded, handing GokaiRed the Tokkyu-Oh Ranger Key.
“Eh? What’s this… eh, let’s see and find out!” GokaiRed smiled, as she readied the key.
“Ranger Key, SET! LET’S GO!”
Suddenly, the train in all of the ports of Gokai-Oh split, reverting the pirate-mecha back to its original state. Then, the train became a simple red engine before four more trains appeared beside it. Then, the trains combined and transformed into the figure on the key: Tokkyu-Oh.
=MAIDO GO JOSHA ARIGATO-GOZAIMASU. TOKKYUOH, KANSEI ITASHIMASU!=
“Wow! The train that was docked inside Gokai-Oh became Tokkyu-Oh!!” Scootaloo gawked.
“Sugoi… they summoned Tokkyu-Oh!” Mio said amazed.
“I bet even the original Gokaigers couldn’t do that,” Raito added in his amazement.
(Insert Song: Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger Theme Song)
“Hade ne ikuze!” GokaiRed shouted, slashing Momoeater with the naginata weapon, while Tokkyu-Oh punched Momoeater at the same time.
“UWAAAH! What power…” the kaiju gawked.
“How is it piloting itself?” GokaiPink wondered.
“Not sure,” GokaiBlue admitted.
“Let’s not worry about that, and finish this imagination eater already!” GokaiGreen shouted.
“Okay! Ready Tw… er… Red?” GokaiYellow asked.
“Yea,” GokaiRed nodded as the five inserted the Tokkyuger keys into the slots like they did for calling forth TokkyuGokai-Oh. Tokkyu-Oh then recombined with Gokai-Oh, and then readied the finisher, a train whistle blew out, and then TokkyuGokai-Oh held onto the naginata weapon.
“Tokkyu Gokai Densha Giri!” they shouted.
“Oi vey, really? That had a serious lack of sense,” Silver groaned to herself on the ground before a rail crossing kept Momoeater from progressing with a long train passing by before the barrier lifted, revealing TokkyuGokai-Oh charging forward with the naginata weapon before slashing right through the Action Commander.
“I’ve heard of bad imagination… but that… just lacked SENSE~!” Momoeater groaned as he blew up.
“SUGOI!” Scootaloo said with joy.
(End Insert Song)
“Well… they did it,” Mio smiled down below, walking over to GokaiSilver with Raito.
“Hey… thanks you two. We owe ya,” GokaiSilver smiled.
“No need,” Raito insisted.
“Well, we’d better get going home,” Mio said, as Scootaloo quickly rushed over.
“Wait! I know who you two actually are, and… I didn’t want you to go without letting me telling you-” Scootaloo started.
“Goodbye?” Raito asked.
“...Uh…yea…” Scootaloo said as tears began to roll down her face, as she trotted over, and Raito hugged her. Then Scootaloo looked at him with tears in her eyes. “You taught me how to truly imagine victory. Arigato Raito-kun… I’ll miss you.”
“We’re glad we can help, Scoots. But don’t forget about us; just keep that imagination ever-flowing, and we’ll meet again. I mean, it helped you get your Cutie Mark; look,” Raito replied, informing Scootaloo of the fact she didn’t notice yet.
“Huh?” she gawked, looking back at her flank and seeing her new Cutie Mark; seeing it brought a HUGE smile to her face. She then trotted over to give Mio a hug.
“I’ll miss you more Mio-chan… you’re really kind and sweet… like the mother I never knew… promise me we’ll meet again one day?” Scootaloo asked. Mio thought for a moment before smiling.
“Close your eyes for a moment Scootaloo-chan,” Mio instructed.
“Hai,” Scootaloo nodded, closing her eyes, and almost instantly she imagined meeting the two Tokkyugers in the future.
“You see it, don’t you?” Raito asked.
“Yea… we will meet again,” Scootaloo nodded, opening her eyes, “Someday… in the future.”
She simply smiled, before turning to GokaiSilver. “Hey… thanks for saving me today… Rainbow Dash.”
“Eh?!” GokaiSilver gawked, “...You know it’s me?!”
“I may not be able to fly, but I can see, I saw when that beast knocked the Cellular out of your hooves,” Scootaloo informed.
“Oh… right,” GokaiSilver chuckled nervously before reversing her henshin, confirming to Scootaloo that she was indeed Rainbow Dash, “Just promise you won’t tell anypony about this, okay?”
“I will. So… what about my hero paper? I still need something,” Scootaloo wondered.
“Well… even if Raito was there to help, you could add in me helping you get your Cutie Mark,” Dash suggested.
“Thanks Dash. Also… are you proud of me?”
“You bet I am, Squirt,” Dash smiled, hugging the little filly. Next came in the rest of the Gokai-Ponies, each a bit nervous that Dash dehenshined in front of Scootaloo. “So let me guess, Twi’s Red, AJ’s Blue, Rarity’s Yellow, Pinkie’s Green and Fluttershy’s Pink?”
“How’d you know?” GokaiRed wondered.
“Just a hunch,” Scootaloo responded.
“...Well, somehow you managed to get it all right,” GokaiRed figured, dehenshining before Scootaloo.
Twilight smiled, and then saw Scootaloo’s Cutie Mark.
“So Twilight… what does my Cutie Mark mean?” Scootaloo asked.
“I’m not too sure… it has the image of a… rainbow colored train, that’s for sure,” Twilight replied.
“I think I can help. Most likely, seeing the Tokkyugers were a team with a lot of focus on imagination, your Cutie Mark most likely refers to your boundless imagination,” Dash figured.
Scootaloo simply giggled a bit, as she was so happy to finally have her Cutie Mark as she tried to fly, only to fall back onto the ground.
“You okay?” Twilight asked.
“Yea… guess my imagination helped me fly,” Scootaloo figured.
“Yea, I’d assume that would be the case seeing how powerful imagination can be,” Twilight guessed.
Dash then helped Scootaloo up, and smiled. “You may be a cripple Scootaloo, but as long as you have that imagination, you’re always special in my book,” Dash told her, making the filly smile.
“Thanks Dash,” Scootaloo replied.
“Aww…” the rest of the group went, as Dash simply smiled at Scootaloo.
“Hey Scoots… you’ll have a big surprise for your friends after you get back from Spring Break, won’t ya?” Dash chuckled.
“Yea… they’ll sure be surprised,” Scoots nodded.
Author's Note
Now before anyone asks, I know the technical spelling is "ToQger", and in future stories with them from me, I'll be sure to spell it as such. However, we started this before we got used to the spelling, and it was known to us as "Tokkyuger". So, if you don't like it, sorry, but that's how the rest of the story will go with that term.
Regardless, you heard it here folks, in this chapter, Scootaloo got her Cutie Mark. So, what do you think of it? Does it fit her? Let me know in the comments below. As for now, I'd better hurry over to MLP Gaim Sengoku. See you in a bit.
The time for Spring Break had drawn to its close, and Scootaloo returned with her hero paper the Monday her new paper was due. Scootaloo however, was wearing a coat of sorts to cover up her Cutie Mark, wanting to surprise the class and her friends.
“Man, this is gonna be great,” Scootaloo smiled widely.
“Man, the failing-can’t-fly-orphan Blank Flank,” a new voice said.
“Oh no…” Scoots groaned, looking over and seeing two particular fillies, one of them was a pink earth pony with blue eyes and a light violet and white mane, her Cutie Mark being a tiara like the one she was wearing, the other being a purple-eyed gray filly with a light gray mane, glasses, her mane in a braid, and a silver spoon for her Cutie Mark.
“What do you two want?” Scootaloo asked, trying to ignore them.
“Oh nothing, just curious about what you did over Spring Break, Blank Flank,” the pink filly, Diamond Tiara, answered.
“I spent it with Rainbow Dash.” Scootaloo replied simply, before she felt her coat being tugged at.
“Why’re you wearing this coat, anyway?” the other filly, Silver Spoon asked, being the one tugging at Scootaloo’s coat.
“Let me guess, you’re trying to cover your Blank Flank like Applebloom did at my Cutie-ceañera,” Diamond said mockingly.
“Shut up! You’ll have to wait until I get in and present my paper for the answer,” Scootaloo responded, getting Silver Spoon off before she galloped into the classroom.
“Hey, Scootaloo!” Applebloom shouted.
“Hey Applebloom. Hi Sweetie Belle,” Scootaloo smiled.
“Why’re you wearing a jacket?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“It’s a surprise.”
Applebloom and Sweetie Belle gave a shrug, before they looked at the front of some sort of book. “Hey, we’re sorry about your bad grade,” Applebloom started.
“So… we made you something to cheer you up. Though, it did take almost all of Spring Break to do,” Sweetie Belle added, as they showed Scootaloo a little paper book of the three of them as different Sentai senshi, Applebloom was Pink Mask of Maskman, Sweetie was KyoryuPink of Kyoryuger, and Scootaloo was Tokkyu3 from Tokkyuger.
“Wow… thanks guys… but have I got something to tell you later,” Scootaloo replied, confusing Applebloom and Sweetie Belle.
“Okay Scootaloo, may you please present your hero paper?” Cheerilee asked.
“Yes Ms. Cheerilee,” Scootaloo nodded, taking her paper to the front, still wearing her jacket the entire time.
“...May I ask why you’re wearing that jacket?”
“It’s part of the presentation,” Scootaloo explained.
“Okay. You may begin whenever you’re ready,” Cheerilee nodded. Scootaloo cleared her throat, and then began.
“‘My original paper was on the 35th Super Sentai. But now, it’s on my all time favorite Super Sentai team, the 38th, Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger. The main reason why I think this Sentai is considered to be my heroes, it’s because they actually encourage imagination. They are all awesome in their own rights, and believe it or not, during my Spring Break, I actually me-...” she started before getting hit in the face by a paper ball.
“Hey!” Applebloom shouted, looking over at Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, but they shrugged.
“...Anyways, as I was saying,” Scootaloo continued, “I have actually met two of the Tokkyugers myself!”
This made everypony gasp.
“It’s true. I met Tokkyu1, Right, and Tokkyu3, Mio, both of them having taken care of me for a short time, and I didn’t even know at first until Spring Break when we visited the Crystal Empire. And then… something even more amazing occur-” Scootaloo continued, again being hit by a paper ball.
“Diamond Tiara, please stop interrupting Scootaloo,” Cheerilee responded, having seen her throw the paper ball this time.
“Fine…” Diamond groaned.
“Okay. Something even more amazing occurred. Which is why I was wearing this coat. And this truly helps solidify the Tokkyugers as my heroes…” Scootaloo smiled, taking off the coat, revealing her recently obtained Cutie Mark, making everypony in the room gasp in shock and amazement. “They helped me earn my new Cutie Mark.”
Cheerliee approached the filly, amazed by the glow of the rainbow colored train on her flank.
“Amazing,” she gawked.
“Yea. Turns out, they helped me realize my special talent involves imagination! All I have to do is imagine something hard enough, and I can make it happen. Just watch,” Scootaloo said, imagining she was able to fly again, and sure enough, with a leap into the air, she was flying like she was a normal pegasus instead of a cripple (so to speak).
“WOW!” Applebloom and Sweetie Belle gawked in amazement.
“...” Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were just slack-jawed. However, Scootaloo’s wings started to give out, and she was near the top of the room, and was finally pulled back down by gravity, so she landed.
“...Doesn’t last very long for everything though,” Scootaloo admitted.
“Are you okay?” Applebloom asked.
“Yea… yea I’m okay,” Scootaloo nodded before returning to the front of the class.
“If you’re done, Scootaloo, will you please continue with your presentation?” Cheerilee asked.
“I will. So, with the two Tokkyugers caring for me, helping me earn my Cutie Mark, and saving my life (which I’ll explain at a later date), that is why the Ressha Sentai Tokkyugers are considered my heroes,” Scootaloo finished.
The class began to clap, while Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon simply shrugged.
“Thank you Scootaloo,” Cheerilee smiled as she took the paper while Scootaloo returned to her seat with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle.
“Wow… you got a Cutie Mark,” Applebloom smiled.
“Yep; that was my surprise,” Scootaloo smiled.
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon glared at Scootaloo.
“Well now what are we gonna do? We can’t call her a Blank Flank, or flightless. Too bad we can’t just turn her against her friends,” Silver Spoon sighed, and then an idea registered in Diamond Tiara’s mind.
Up in Onichan’s ship, a sort of doberman walked in. This doberman, had a black belt around his waist, had some blue armor around his chest area, and on his left arm he had what looked like a silver radar dish attached.
“And who is this?” Onichan demanded.
“I am, Dobersecret!” the kaijin revealed as the hooded figure who was holding Dragonranger’s Ranger Key walked in.
“Onichan-sama… please allow my kaijin to attack the Gokaigers. He has the special power to make ponies reveal secrets, we can use it to make the Gokaigers reveal who they really are, and then they’d be outcasts and/or criminals,” the hooded figure explained.
“Hmm… that is a very clever plan. Okay, we’ll do this your way,” Onichan nodded as the cloaked figure bowed before her.
She then left into a darker part of the ship, and removed her hood, however, the lack of light blurred her face, with the sole exception of purple glowing eyes, looking at the Dragonranger Key.
“Okay girls… we need to practice a tiny bit,” GokaiRed said, as Dash came in with Scootaloo.
“Okay everypony, Scootaloo has made practice targets for us,” she informed, revealing a bunch of stuffed dummies that looked like Neo-Goumin and Neo-Sugoumin.
“Cheerliee gave me some odd looks when I made these in art,” Scootaloo admitted.
“I’m not surprised.” GokaiRed admitted. Scootaloo then set them up, and the core Gokaigers stood ready, each one pulling out a different Black Ranger Key.
“GOKAI CHANGE!”
=GO~SEIGER!=
=BO~UKENGER!=
=KA~KURANGER!=
=GAO~RANGER!=
=ZYU~RANGER!=
With that, GokaiRed became the black Goseiger, which had a land-themed image on the chest and a snake on the side of her helmet. GokaiBlue became a black ranger with silver edges on the boots and gloves, as well as an all silver belt, silver shoulder pads, a silver imagine with a black arrow and a red arrow forming a compass design, a white section down the middle of the body, and the helmet resembling a vehicle with the silver mouthpiece having a grill and the forehead showing off headlights. GokaiYellow transformed into a ninja-themed ranger with the visor barely visible, a golden band with a pentagon design on the forehead, a white V ending with a yellow triangle around the neck, a white outlined lightning bolt over the heart, a golden belt, and the wrist and ankle pads being black with white trim. GokaiGreen became a black bison themed Senshi with the white gloves and black boots edged with gold, a gold belt, a golden band across the chest with a black line down the middle of it, a golden bull design over the heart, and the helmet had a plain silver mouthpiece with it looking like a bison head with yellow eyes and silver horns, the mouth being the visor of the helmet. Finally, GokaiPink became Mammothranger.
“Okay everypony, ready…. go!” Scootaloo shouted.
With that, the five Gokaigers charged, Gokai-GoseiBlack, Gokai-GaoBlack, and Gokai-MammothRanger wielding their axe weapons. They slashed at the Neo-Goumin, slashing off their heads, and then joined Gokai-BoukenBlack and Gokai-NinjaBlack, the former of the two swinging a very large hammer.
When Gokai-BoukenBlack smacked the last Neo-Sugoumin, she came close to accidentally hitting Spike, who had arrived with some snacks.
“Whoops! Sorry Spike,” Gokai-BoukenBlack apologized.
“Oh… sorry, forgot you were all practicing,” Spike said, as he put the snacks down on a nearby rock, and then he spat out a letter in a green fire.
“A letter?” Gokai-GoseiBlack gawked as she returned to normal before Twilight took the scroll and looked it over.
“‘Dear Princess Twilight, I send this letter in utmost importance. The armada that now inhabits the sky above our world is known as the Neo-Zangyack, who are assumedly non-hostile. They have come in search of some sort of treasure, and have asked me to help them in the search for the group of suspicious characters called the Gokaigers. Personally, I am having some doubts considering what other dangerous beings have done in the past, but I was informed by the Neo-Zangyack that they are dangerous, and until further notice are considered to be wanted criminals as the Neo-Zangyack claim them to be. If you have any information regarding these Gokaigers that they speak of, please inform me as your earliest possible convenience. Sincerely yours, Princess Celestia.’ Oh no…” Twilight said, reading the letter, and then almost all of the color drained from her face, as she and the others all reverted to normal.
“We’re wanted criminals…?” Fluttershy said very shakily.
“I’m not too surprised; the Zangyack always had something against the Gokaigers, considering the originals criminals for various crimes, but why would these Neo-Zangyack influence the Princess in this manner?” Rainbow Dash replied, “I thought Princess Luna would’ve informed her.”
“Oh… maybe I should’ve given this one to you guys first…” Spike said, handing them another letter, this one from Princess Luna.
“Let me see that,” Twilight replied taking the letter, “‘Dear Princess Twilight and Friends, I have sorrow to inform you that I could not persuade my sister to believe you are all heroes as the Kaizoku Sentai, she is sadly convinced, like many others, that the Gokaigers were criminals to rebel against Neo-Zangyack’s wishes and that they would be in no way connected to you. I am terribly sorry. Celestia says she is meeting with the leader of this group, but we both agree that she cannot be trusted… sadly, dear sister feels she has no other choice. If you wish to get Princess Celestia’s support, I am sorry to say this is something you will have to do on your own, just do be careful, okay? I will send you updates regarding relations between Tia and the Neo-Zangyack when I can. Your Supporter always, Princess Luna.’ ...Well… so much for Celestia fully on our side.”
“Ah bet she doesn’t even know we moved to the Crystal Empire and why,” Applejack sighed.
“We did try to send a letter to her, but Princess Luna got it instead,” Twilight admitted
“How’d she get it anyway?” Rarity wondered.
“Dunno…” Twilight sighed. “I should never have involved any of you in this…”
“Don’t say that now, Twilight!” Rainbow Dash responded. “We’re friends, and we’re willing to support you to the end.”
“But… I’m putting all of you at risk… I’m a princess and I’m the one who found this chest… so it should just be my responsibility, and mine alone,” Twilight insisted when…
“Snap out of it already!” Rainbow snapped, slapping Twilight in the face, “Just because you’re a princess, doesn’t mean you should be this concerned for your friends. You helped us see that before, remember?!”
Twilight didn’t know what to say, as she looked at the rest of her friends.
“She’s got a point, Twi. Besides, we can take care of ourselves just fine. We may be lost at times without ya, but that doesn’t give ya the right to just leave us safe when we need to work as a team,” AJ added.
“I must agree with them, Darling. There’s no need to be so harsh on yourself,” Rarity nodded.
“Y-Yea. What they said,” Fluttershy agreed.
“Recall who we are Twilight! We’re your best friends, and we’re helping you whether you like it or not!” Pinkie added in as well.
Twilight was just surprised at the determination of her friends before sighing a second, then looking at them with a smile.
“Thank you… all of you…” she replied.
Scootaloo was on her way to the Cutie Mark Crusader base, when she saw some sort of doberman attacking.
“What the?!” Scootaloo gawked, seeing the creature, it then used some sort of tongue attack, and licked at Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, slobber getting on their mouths.
“UGH! GROSS!” Diamond groaned in annoyance. “...The reason I bully ponies without Cutie Marks is because I was bullied for not having mine!” she blurted out.
“Eh? Really?” Scootaloo whispered/gawked from the distance she was at, not wanting the monster to spot her.
“I’m actually afraid of Diamond and I’m only her sidekick to avoid being bullied by her!” Silver Spoon exclaimed.
“Wait what?!” the two fillies gawked, realizing what they just said.
Scootaloo then took out a silver version of the Mobirate, and then tried to contact Twilight or Rainbow Dash. However, the Doberman’s sharp hearing soon caught the sound of Scootaloo’s Mobirates ringing.
“Scoots?” Dash asked, picking up her Cellular, before hearing Scootaloo scream, and try to run. “SCOOTS!”
Scootaloo was now galloping away from Dobersecret, and lucky her having four legs compared to the monster’s two gave her an advantage as she managed to run ahead of Dobersecret.
Just then, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle arrived on the scene, gasping at what was going on.
“What the hay is going on here?!” Applebloom gawked.
“Ew… what is that?!” Sweetie Belle added, as Dobersecret looked over at them, making the two fillies nervous before… he licked them, and both felt compelled to say their biggest secret, and felt like, if they didn’t, they would explode.
However, when Dobersecret ran off, Scootaloo couldn’t help but look over at Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, who were struggling against the effects of Dobersecret’s slobber.
“Applebloom? Sweetie? Are you two okay?” Scootaloo asked when…
“...We’re jealous of you having a Cutie Mark!” they screamed against their will before covering their mouth, making Scootaloo gawk at what they said.
“...I-Is that true…?” Scootaloo gawked.
They both looked at each-other, and sighed. “Yea…”
“...I… I see…” Scootaloo sighed before she unknowingly got licked by Dobersecret, but when she felt the slobber, she gasped. She then covered her mouth, knowing what would happen from seeing what happened to Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
“Scoots? Are you okay?” Dash asked, as she was taking Scootaloo to school the next day.
Scootaloo just shook her head, struggling to hold back her spilling the beans. Dash shrugged as she put Scootaloo down, and saw the class was in the middle of a picnic of sorts. “Oh, hello Dash.” Cheerilee smiled.
Scootaloo just smiled and waved, trying not to speak.
“A picnic?” Dash asked, walking over to them.
“Oh, it’s a family sort of thing. I asked the students to let their family knows to come here,” Cheerilee nodded.
“Wow. Nice,” Dash nodded.
“Scootaloo, are you okay?” Applebloom asked, looking over at Scootaloo.
Scootaloo only shook her head saying no, not wanting to spill her secret.
“She’s been silent almost ALL morning, not sure why though,” Dash said, as she got a glass of orange juice, and began to drink it.
“Is there something you need to say?” Cheerilee asked, as Scootaloo couldn’t take it anymore.
“Doh… I KNOW WHO THE GOKAIGERS ACTUALLY ARE!” she blurted, and then quickly covered her mouth.
The entire class gasped, while Rainbow Dash only spit out her orange juice, it accidentally hitting Scootaloo. Dash simply glared at Scootaloo for saying that.
“Scootaloo? Is this true?” Cheerilee asked.
“What are we gonna do?” Applejack whispered to Rarity and Dash.
“We need to quietly get out of here,” Rainbow Dash whispered back as they slowly backed up.
Scootaloo gave a nervous look, and only one thought entered her mind: RUN! And with that, the orange filly did just that, bolting right out the door.
-Twilight, we’ve got a big problem!- Dash’s voice shouted over Twilight’s Mobirate.
“What is it, Dash?” Twilight asked.
-Scoots told somepony she knows who the Gokaigers really are. She didn’t name any of us, and right now, we need to find her before somepony else does! Get the GokaiGalleon moving, she’s heading for the Everfree Forest!-
“I’m on it!” Twilight responded, rushing to the cockpit, “Why did she have to blow that she knows who the Gokaigers are?”
“I don’t know. But maybe we can calmly ask her why she did that,” Fluttershy said.
“Are you kidding me?! We need to get rid of her before she can tell anyone!” Pinkie shouted, readying her GokaiGun.
“PINKIE!” both Twilight and Fluttershy exclaimed.
“I was kidding,” Pinkie responded.
“...Then don’t sound so serious about it,” Twilight sighed.
“They’re gonna hurt me… or worse! I gotta keep running, running!” Scootaloo said, as she ran further into the Everfree Forest, before she stopped to catch her breath. “...Did… Did I lose them?”
She then heard an odd sound, like a trumpet. She looked around for a bit, and walked over as quietly as she could, and saw the cloaked pony loading in a few Ranger Keys into some sort of trumpet with Ranger Key Ports in it.
“What the heck?” Scootaloo pondered, as the pony put the trumpet up to her mouth and began to play when suddenly… the six Ranger Keys she put in it sprung to life.
The first of these looked like a green Zyuranger with a dragon motif, except the diamonds on his boots and gloves were green triangles connecting to the gold edges, he had golden bands on his arms, and a golden torso armor. The second was a red Timeranger with a spiked triangle for the visor and chest, except the white on the chest was replaced with black, the bands on the wrists and ankles were inversed, and he had a different device on his left wrist that was red and black. The third was an Abaranger of a different kind, being white with black jagged lines on the sides of his body, golden trimming including the torso shield that was mainly white with raised black triangles, and a Tupuxuara themed helmet with a red visor. The fourth was a silver Boukenger with orange trim, black where the white normally is, the edges of his gloves, boots, and shoulder pads were a metallic blue with the shoulders having red, and the headlights on his helmet being red along with his helmet having a spike on top and the mouthpiece being metallic silver. Finally, the last two were gold and silver rangers (the gold being male and silver being female), both having a motif of pilots of aerial vehicles as seen by the “straps” on their chests held by a silver G with red wings, their suits having a lot of black, boots and gloves trimmed silver and red, wings on the gloves, and the helmets representing different vehicles with gold’s visor being like an X, and silver’s being a W.
“Find this orange filly with a purple mane. She’ll hold the answers to who those meddling kaizoku really are,” the cloaked pony ordered as the six rangers nodded before separating to locate the pony who matched her description.
“Uh oh…” Scootaloo muttered, trying to stay hidden. “Now I’m really in trouble…”
“Why we gave clearance for her to reverse engineer Basco’s tech, I will never really understand,” Tearsome noted.
“Who now?” Sparklefun asked
“That unicorn pony in the cloak,” Tearsome explained.
“No… who's this.. Bassco guy?”
“Oh, some pirate who was a former friend of the original GokaiRed who turned on him for the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, or something like that.”
“Ah… okay. Oh, and also, you guys DO know that-”
“Sparklefun… you are a diversion. We don’t expect you to bother coming up with ideas,” Tearsome started.
“But I’ve got a good one!”
“We don’t care,” Tankdom informed.
“Mou…” Sparklefun groaned.
She walked off annoyed, and then looked at a small hidden room, with all sorts of research notes, one in particular marked ‘HR-015-KRG’
“Man… Mrs. Hoodie sure has a lot of info on these guys who wear armored suits,” Sparklefun noted, reading the notes, each depicting armored warriors with fruit armor…
“Gotta… run… gotta hide from… Gokaigers… and other… senshi…” Scootaloo said, panting, trying to stay out of sight.
However, she noticed the GokaiGalleon flying above the Everfree forest, and she knew what that meant. Scootaloo continued to run, trying to find cover, but then heard a sound that was like nails on a chalkboard. It was very irritating to her before she looked over and saw Dragonranger.
“Oh… shoot!” Scootaloo said in worry, as she tried to run, but one of her legs got hit by a sort of blast, and blood began to ooze from her lower right leg, the blast came from TimeFire, “Oh man… I’m in trouble… please… somepony… help… help… HELP ME~!” Scootaloo screamed.
“GET! AWAY!” Dash’s voice shouted out, as she charged in, totally unhenshined!
“Rainbow Dash!” Scootaloo gasped as the pegasus managed to kick aside the two Senshi, leaving her to guard Scootaloo.
However, Dash was struck by the Go-On Wings, and she got a nasty mark near her right eye. Dash didn’t even bother trying to fight them, as she flew up high.
“I was hoping I wouldn’t have to do this here, but they’re leaving me no choice!” Dash growled before diving straight back down after she reached the correct height, a mach cone forming around her continuing to pick up speed until…
BOOM!
A sonic boom resounded throughout the area, leaving behind an expanding ring of visible light that looked like a circular rainbow; Dash performed the Sonic Rainboom, and she tore right through Dragonranger, TimeFire and the Go-On Wings. This attack was so strong it made the four Senshi revert into their Ranger Key forms, kinda surprising Dash.
“What the?! ...That’s impossible! Only Basco could’ve been able to do something like this!” she gawked before approaching the DragonRanger key. “In any case, it looks like we got more Ranger Keys now.”
“Don’t… hurt me!” Scootaloo said, her voice full of fear.
“What? Why would I hurt you, Scoots?” Dash asked, picking up the four keys. “Besides, you’re already hurt from what these guys did to you; I don’t want to further the injuries.”
“But… I broke your trust for… almost saying…” Scootaloo began, when Dash got hit from an attack from BoukenSilver.
“Ow!” Dash winced as she just dodged the attacks from the staff BoukenSilver was using, “We’ll talk later, Scoots! Right now, I need to make sure these Sixth Rangers stay off your tail!”
However, Scootaloo was picked up by AbareKiller, and then the senshi made a run for it.
“Where’s Rainbow?” Fluttershy asked worriedly.
“Maybe she got lost, the Everfree is much bigger than we know,” AJ pointed out.
“Maybe she encountered some Timberwolves,” Rarity guessed.
“Maybe she was attacked by some Sixth Rangers brought to life by some freaky flute and saw Scootaloo being carried away by AbareKiller?” Pinkie figured, making the others look at her, kinda stunned. “...What? What’d I say?”
-GUYS! We’ve got a problem!- Dash’s voice came yelling from their Mobirates.
“What is it, Rainbow?” Twilight asked, answering.
-Somepony brought the other Sixth Senshi to life, and Scootaloo got kidnapped by a copy of AbareKiller!-
“Told ya so,” Pinkie smiled.
-What? ...Uh, nevermind! Just give me a hand over here!-
“We’re on our way, Rainbow,” Twilight told her as they rushed off.
“Leave me alone!” Scootaloo shouted, struggling to get free of AbareKiller’s grasp.
“Sorry kid, but he only listens to me. You may put her down now,” the hooded figure said, as AbareKiller did so, the hooded figure took out a black version of the GokaiSabre, and nearby, Scootaloo could see Dobersecret with some Timberwolves!
“If you value your life… you’ll answer this question…” the hooded figure began, moving the black sword close to Scootaloo’s neck. “Who are the new Gokaigers?”
‘Oh no… what do I do? I’ve already broken the trust of the Gokaigers as it is? Do I really wanna risk blowing their cover by telling her? But then… my own life’s at stake…’ Scootaloo thought to herself.
“Even if you get away from my blade, I still have an army on my side. Both of Sentai senshi, and of the Timberwolves. You might as well just tell me kid,” the hooded figure said, slicing off a bit of Scootaloo’s mane.
“GAH!” Scootaloo gawked, gulping for a second as she struggled in her mind to figure out what she should do.
“SCOOTALOO!” GokaiRed shouted out, rushing over with the rest of the Gokaigers.
“Oh please… you’re no problem,” the hooded figure scoffed, loading in a few more Ranger Keys, and then blowing her trumpet, this time she sent out only five Senshi.
The first of these was a white senshi holding a staff, but also having triangles with the colors green, blue, red, and yellow from left to right all over his body, and even his helmet, a big red cape on his back and a big red buckle for a belt. The second was a Dekaranger, but his color scheme was white with golden trim and numbers, his left arm being blue, and his number theme being that of the roman numeral 6. The third was a white ranger with a tiger motif, the edges of his gloves and boots being golden bands with black edges, the tiger motif on his helmet with the plain silver mouthpiece being gold with black designs, and he had a torso shield that was black and gold with a tiger emblem on the chest. The fourth resembled a Magiranger, with the bodysuit being a navy blue, but the armor all over his body was gold with black accents, and he also had a red cape. Finally, the last was a Megaranger that was silver with gold on parts where white usually was and the squares on his chest being green.
“Attack,” the hooded figure said, and then something registered in GokaiRed’s mind… she knew that voice… from somewhere.
“Wait… that voice…” she gawked before she was attacked by the Megaranger, MegaSilver. “Hey! Hooves off, buddy!” she snapped, countering MegaSilver’s blade with her own.
“Kid… all it is, is a simple question. Or… do you not want to see the light of day anymore. It would be a shame, since you finally got that little Cutie Mark of yours,” the hooded figure commented.
“HOOVES OFF, MARE!” she heard a voice snap as AbareKiler was kicked into the cloaked figure, causing Scootaloo to get sent flying before being caught by Rainbow Dash.
“Ow…” Scootaloo moaned, unable to move, however in her hooves were the missing Ranger Keys from the first Super Sentai, the the Ranger Keys of the second Super Sentai.
“Wow! Good one Scoots!” Dash smiled as she counted the keys before noticing, “Hey! Where’s Big One?”
“Uh…” Scoots started before pointing over at Big One, who was attacking GokaiGreen.
“Oh. Okay, Gokai Change!”
=GO~KAIGER!=
GokaiSilver was ready to charge when she was struck by a blast of magic from the hooded figure, and then Scootaloo was dragged over via magic.
“Oh no you don’t!” GokaiRed shouted, sending a blast at the cloaked figure, making her stop her magic and drop Scootaloo, but the blast also burnt a small portion of the cloak, revealing a small bit of red and yellow hair of somepony’s mane.
“Eh?” GokaiRed gawked, as the hooded figure growled at GokaiRed, before pinning all of the Gokaigers down with powerful magic, and forcing all six to dehenshin.
“You’re pretty strong, I’ll give you that. But I’ll leave you Dobersecret here, you’ll be begging me to kill you after he’s done,” the figure responded. “Okay Dober, they’re yours.”
“Hai Shimmer-sama!” Dobersecret responded.
“Shimmer…?” Twilight pondered, as they group all turned into Gokaigers and GokaiRed continued to pondered before they were slashed at.
“Don’t speak with that tone at my sama!”
“Well, excuse us. It seems we forgot to introduce ourselves. Girls? Sound off. GokaiRed!”
“GokaiBlue!”
“GokaiYellow!”
“GokaiGreen!”
“GokaiPink!”
“Gooookaiii...SILVER!”
“Kaizoku Sentai…”
“GOKAIGER!”
“Hade ni ikuze!” GokaiRed announced, charging forward.
With that, the Gokaigers began attacking Dobersecret, managing to keep him at a distance. However, they also had to fend off the senshi that were summoned by the hooded figure at the same time.
“Okay, I’m having enough of these guys!” GokaiSilver growled angrily, as she flew up high before diving down and attacking all the summoned senshi with her wings, which became blade-like when she flew. This knocked down all five of the remaining senshi, turning Big One, Kibaranger, MagiShine, DekaBreak and MegaSilver back into Ranger Key form.
“Grab the keys before the hooded figure grabs them!” Silver shouted to the Gokaigers, who rushed over and retrieved the key before Dobersecret rushed over and swatted at the five Gokaigers still on the ground. Silver struck with her spear, and knocked him down.
“Minna, let’s take him down Sixth Senshi style!” Silver suggested, taking the Dragonranger Key.
“Okay!” the others nodded. “GOKAI CHANGE!”
=ZYU~RANGER!=
=DAI~RANGER!=
=BOU~KENGER!=
=ME~GARANGER!=
=TI~MERANGER!=
=A~BARANGER!=
With that, GokaiSilver became Dragonranger, Red became Kibaranger, Blue went BoukenSilver, Yellow transformed into MegaSilver, Green turned into TimeFire, and Pink went AbareKiller.
“Wait! Those are Shimmer-sama’s Ranger Keys! GIVE THEM BACK~!” Dobersecret shouted.
“Seriously, who’s this Shimmer you’re talking about, and why does it sound familiar?” Gokai-Kibaranger asked.
“Forget it, Twilight. We got a dog to neuter,” Gokai-Dragonranger responded.
“I don’t tend to do this to animals,” Gokai-AbareKiller began, readying her saber weapon, before charging forward. “But! You’ve! Been! A! VERY! Bad! Dog!”
This suddenly made Dobersecret whimper in fear as the Gokaigers charged and each attacked him with their respective weapons as the Sixth Rangers they picked. Soon, they reverted back to main Gokaiger mode, and Red simply got out the GokaiGalleon Buster.
“Blue, it’s your turn for the charge,” GokaiRed told Blue.
“Right,” GokaiBlue nodded, pulling out the keys for GokaiBlue, KyoryuBlue, Tokkyu2, GoseiBlue, and MagiBlue before inserting them all in.
=BLU~E CHARGE!=
Red then took the blaster, and rushed forward, aiming it at point blank range.
“Now you have one last chance. Who is this Shimmer you’re speaking of?!” GokaiRed demanded.
“To think… Shimmer-sama predicted that little Princess Twilight Sparkle would be GokaiRed,” Dobersecret taunted as... Dobersecret chuckled, “But you’re nothing but a crybaby not knowing who she even is.”
“THAT’S IT!!!” GokaiRed roared as Dobersecret just laughed.
=RI~SING STRI~KE!=
The blast came out blue, and blew up Dobersecret on contact, but also blasted GokaiRed back and forced her to dehenshin.
“That… probably wasn’t the smartest move, Twilight,” GokaiSIlver figured.
“Oh… shut up,” Twilight responded annoyed.
“Um… Twilight? Maybe you should bring in the GokaiGalleon just in case the bad doggie grows big like the other Neo-Zangyack creeps,” GokaiGreen suggested.
Twilight gave a nod, and then called in GokaiGalleon.
=GO~KAIGALLEON!=
With that, Twilight became GokaiRed again before they all boarded Gokai-Oh. They then waited… and waited… and waited for an hour.
“Um… I’m beginning to think that was pointless; I almost don’t think that thing was worthy enough to revive,” GokaiPink sighed.
“Yea I agree with you there Fluttershy,” Red nodded, obviously annoyed as well.
“...Maybe we should go back to checking on Scoots instead,” Dash sighed, the only one out of suit.
“Scoots, we know that you didn’t mean to blurt out you knew who we are,” Dash said, helping wrap Scootaloo’s leg in bandages.
“...I know… I’m just… I’m just so sorry… I broke your trust…” Scootaloo replied, tearing up both from the pain of the tightening bandages and from her emotions.
Twilight walked over to Scootaloo and gave her a hug to calm her down.
“It’s okay… you didn’t really break our trust; you never meant to blurt it out on purpose, just like Dash said,” Twilight told Scootaloo.
“So… I’m not in any trouble?” Scootaloo asked.
“Of course not.”
Dash gave Scootaloo a nice hug, calming the younger pegasus up, and then, Dash showed Scootaloo some papers.
“What’s this?” Scootaloo asked.
“Adoption papers,” Dash informed.
“Wait… are you… saying…?” Scoots started, quite surprised by what Dash was potentially implying.
“You’re my daughter now,” Dash told Scootaloo.
“...Really?!” Scootaloo gawked.
“Hai,” Dash informed.
“...Thank you… Mom!” Scoots smiled, crying tears of joy as she hugged Dash.
“Aww…” the others smiled, and so did Spike, when he burped up a letter.
“Another note?” Spike gawked handing it towards Twilight.
“What does it say?” Dash asked as Twilight read it.
“‘Dear Princess Twilight, I have been informed that the Gokaigers have stolen some items of the Neo-Zangyack. Their leader wouldn’t say what it was, but it was apparently important enough to warrant these wanted posters I sent with this letter. I am still awaiting any news you have on these criminals, and if you find them yourself, please bring them in alive… for my sake. Your ever-trusting mentor, Princess Celestia.’ Wanted… posters…” Twilight said shakily, as she took out the six wanted posters, depicting them all in Gokaiger mode.
She was stunned by the bounties on each one; 300,000 bits for Green and Silver (each), 3,000,000 bits for Yellow, 4,000,000 bits for Pink, 8,000,000 for Blue, and 10,000,000 bits for Red. And what was worse, it didn’t matter if the Gokaigers were dead or alive. This made Twilight extremely worried.
“Wow… all together you’re worth…” Scootaloo started as she began to do the math.
“The exact bounty is 25,600,000 bits, Scootaloo,” Rarity answered for Scoots.
“We’re worth millions…” Fluttershy gawked.
“Wait! Why am I worth so little?” Pinkie added, looking at her bounty price.
“To be fair, this is roughly the same amount that the original Gokaigers were in the Zangyack currency,” Dash informed. “Except Red was worth an Unlimited Reward… wonder why they dropped the price down.”
“Dunno…” Twilight responded, simply getting nervous.
“25,600,000 total?!” Luna gawked.
“Indeed, dear sister,” Celestia confirmed as she hung up the wanted posters. “Why do you sound so surprised?”
“Why is it this high?” Luna asked.
“I got the prices from the Neo-Zangyack leader,” Celestia informed.
“...I see…” Luna nodded.
Celestia then headed out, and Luna gave a nervous look. She then sighed, and then simply got to work raising the moon.

“Good morning everypony,” Spike smiled, walking into the room, seeing in the room was everypony, except Dash. “Where’s Rainbow Dash?”
“Sleepin’,” Applejack answered.
“Why would she be sleeping in this late?” Spike wondered, checking the clock, “It’s already noon.”
“Ah have no idea,” Applejack admitted as even Scootaloo was awake at this point, eating a breakfast served up by Fluttershy.
“I heard somepony muttering about ‘somepony of my dreams’. Any idea who it was?” Spike asked, and then everypony turned to look at Rarity.
“...What? It wasn’t me,” Rarity answered honestly.
Everypony gave her a look, and realized it wasn’t her.
“Then who could it be?” Pinkie wondered.
“Look, it’s probably nothing. I’ll go and bring Dash her breakfast,” Twilight said, using her magic to pick up the tray with Dash’s breakfast and head for her room.
“Okay then,” the others nodded as Twilight took a tray of food before reaching Dash’s room and knocking.
“You’re my… special somepony…” Twi heard Dash’s voice mutter, before hearing some snoring.
“Oh man… how long is she gonna snooze?” Twilight wondered before opening the door, “Rainbow? Wake up, it’s me.”
Dash had began to wake up, and saw Twilight smiling at her. “Oh…” Dash smiled, a small blush forming on her face.
“I brought you some breakfast,” Twilight informed, placing the tray on Dash’s table.
“Oh… thanks Twilight…” Dash smiled.
“You’re welcome. When you’re ready, meet us out in the living room, okay?”
“Okay,” Dash nodded.
“Sorry for oversleeping guys,” Dash apologized, having just finished eating her breakfast.
“It’s alright, Sugarcube. Just try and get to bed sooner so you can wake up on time,” Applejack replied.
“I set an alarm, but… I don’t know where it is…” Dash admitted.
“Right…” the others sighed.
“...So, what now, Twilight?” Scootaloo asked.
“Well, we have things to take care of. Applejack, you need to go to the farm, Fluttershy has animals to watch, Rarity has a job, and Pinkie, the Cakes need you. Oh, and Scootaloo has school,” Twilight read a to-do list.
“So… how are we gonna go back to Ponyville without anypony finding out we’re the Gokaigers?” Pinkie wondered.
“We take a train…” Twilight said, pointing at the train outside a window.
“But where do we park the GokaiGalleon then?”
“We’re not flying… we’re behind the Crystal Palace, where we’re always at,”
“...Oh… right…” Pinkie giggled, “Oopsie.”
“Okay, Spike’s taking Scootaloo to school, so that just leaves me and you Rainbow,” Twilight said.
“Okay then,” Dash nodded, trying to stay cool.
“You know something I’ve always wanted to do, go to that fancy ice cream place, Icy Palace.” Twilight told Dash as they walked.
“Really? Wow. Uh… I… I could take you there if you want?” Dash offered.
“Really?! Thank you Rainbow Dash!” Twilight smiled.
“No problem, Twilight,” Dash nodded as they continued to walk, soon finding themselves at the establishment in question.
“Ah, if it isn’t Rainbow, our favorite customer,” the owner smiled.
“You know the owners?” Twilight asked.
“It’s because of me they managed to open. So, I can come in with anypony I want, whenever I wanna,” Dash explained.
“Really? Wow,” Twilight gawked.
“An outside umbrella seat for me and my friend,” Dash requested.
“Of course, Dash.”
The two were then seated, and soon ordered, Dash getting the chocolate ice cream float, and Twilight ordered a small strawberry.
“Wow… this place is amazing,” Twilight gleamed.
“It sure is,” Rainbow agreed.
Twilight then got a bit of an unsettled look from the looks of passersby. “Dash… some ponies are giving us funny looks,”
“...Not sure why,” Dash replied, Twilight not seeing the blush the pegasus had on her muzzle.
“Sorry Twilight… our ice cream shipment hasn’t arrived yet, so we can only give you two the float Dash ordered,” the employee apologized.
“...Oh…” Twilight sighed a little.
“Don’t worry about it. I can share,” Dash told the employee.
The employee simply gave the duo another straw and then took his leave. “You haven’t LIVED until you’ve tried one of their floats Twi,” Dash smiled as Twilight wasn’t sure how to respond at first before she sighed.
“Okay then, Dash,” Twilight nodded before she put in a straw and blushed after taking a sip. “Wow… it’s so good…”
“Told you so, Twilight,” Dash smirked. But she got lost in Twilight’s giddy smile, and began to smile back.
Dash took one small sip as Twilight enjoyed the float.
“Dash, are you okay?” Twilight asked.
“Huh?” Dash responded. “Y-Yea. I’m fine.”
“Okay. I’m really liking the float,” Twilight continued.
“Glad you do,” Dash nodded.
“Why don’t you have the rest of it, since you’re gonna pay for it, you should enjoy it,” Twilight offered.
“Oh… Really? Um…” Dash started, not sure if she should accept.
“I insist Dash.”
“...O-Ok.” Dash responded, as she began to sip it through the straw and during her float drinking she got a float-stache. Seeing it made Twilight giggle a bit.
“I’m… enjoying this time Twilight…” Dash said with a blush, the float-stache covering it.
“So am I, Rainbow,” Twilight nodded.
“Sis, where have you been the past couple days… we’ve been having some trouble filling up orders,” Applebloom told Applejack at the farm.
“Sorry, Applebloom. Ah had some business with Twi at the Crystal Empire,” Applejack told her sister.
“Well… okay. Well, me and Big Mac managed to fill up the rest of the orders we’ve fallen behind on, we just need you to do ten more baskets in ten minutes,” Applebloom explained.
“Okay. Ah’ll git right on it,” AJ nodded, but then Applebloom gave her a small hug.
“Aww… I missed ya sis,” Applebloom smiled.
“...Ah missed ya too, Applebloom,” AJ smiled as well.
Back over with Twilight and Dash, the two were simply finished at Icy Castle, and Twilight was giggling at Dash’s float-stache.
“What? Do I have something on my face?” Dash asked.
“You got a float-stache,” Twi informed, gigglinggiggling a bit, before whipping it off of Dash.
“Thanks Twi,” Dash smiled.
“No problem,” Twilight replied as they walked on.
“Y’know Twilight, I’m really glad you came to Ponyville, you’re a really good friend,” Dash said, a faint blush forming on her face.
“Thanks Rainbow Dash… I… I’m really glad to have come to Ponyville myself. You’re a good friend, too,” Twilight responded, not noticing Dash’s blush this time.
Then, a few screams came, and sure enough, it was some Neo-Goumin. “And now, let’s get to work Dash, Gokai… wait… where’s my Mobirate?”
“And my Cellular… wait, we left them in the galleon… didn’t we?” Dash asked, as Twilight hoof-palmed herself.
“Of all the times for us to leave them,” Twilight groaned.
“Don’t worry. We can still take em,” Dash said, but Twi used her magic to hold Dash back until the coast was clear of them to fight.
“You crazy? If we fight them as ourselves, we’ll be in more trouble than we were before,” Twilight reminded Dash, “Besides, we’re trying to keep our own friends and family safe.”
“Yea… and they’re getting away!” Dash groaned, before seeing there was graffiti on the statue of the mayor, in the following colors, red, blue, yellow, green, pink and silver.
“Okay, what’s the idea of this?” Twilight wondered.
“Get us in more trouble in the eyes of Equestria,” Dash informed.
“What makes you think that?”
Dash then pointed at the red paint which read “The Gokaigers did this.”
“Okay… how do you know it was them who did it, anyway?”
Dash then pointed at paint tracks leading from where the Neo-Goumin left, and when Twi heard someone approach, she teleported herself and Dash back a short distance.
“...Okay, you may have a point there, but there’s no way we can make them blow their cover without blowing our own and getting caught,” Twilight pointed out.
“Twilight, I just came up with an idea. We can just tell Princess Celestia we saw some of those guys vandalize the statue,” Dash said.
“One problem with your plan Dash. The graffiti says we did it, we’d need to catch them in the act or get a picture…”
“Well now what, it’s not like a picture’s just gonna fall outta the sky,” Dash said, and then sure enough, photographic evidence floated right into Dash’s face.
“What the?!” Twilight gawked as Dash looked at the picture and saw it showed the Neo-Goumin indeed in the process of painting the statue, and one in particular writing the message on it in paint.
“Talk about luck. Wonder who snapped this, maybe an answer will fall from the sky,” Dash said, and a scroll then landed on Twi’s horn.
“Maybe this can tell us,” Twilight figured, using her magic to get the scroll off before opening it and reading it. There were only four words: “‘You’re welcome. Princess Luna,’ Cool.”
“Okay, maybe now we can send this picture to Celestia?” Dash figured.
“Yes, yes we may. You know Dash, you’re pretty funny,” Twilight replied with a bit of a giggle.
“...Thanks,” Dash replied with a minor blush.
Back at the library, Spike was back reorganizing the books when Twilight and Dash came in.
“Hey Twilight,” Spike smiled.
“Spike, we have a letter to send to Celestia,” Twilight informed, showing him the letter.
“Okay,” Spike nodded, grabbing his quill pen & a blank scroll. “What should it say?”
“We already wrote it. You just need to send it,” Twilight replied, holding out a finished scroll.
“Oh… ok,” Spike sighed as he breathed on it, sending the note to Celestia.
“So… now what Twi?” Dash asked.
“Man, you seem eager to hang out Dash, something up?”
“N-No! N-Nothing at all,” Dash insisted.
“Okay…?”
Twilight shrugged, and Dash couldn’t help but smile as she saw Twilight work on looking through some books. However, it wasn’t much longer before Spike burped up a message from Celestia.
“Wow… she’s fast with the responses,” Dash noted.
“‘Dear Princess Twilight, I have recently received your message and the photo contained within, and I confess I was quite surprised by what you sent. However… my belief on the evidence is… iffy. Not sure why I’m like that, I simply am… thank you for the info. I will take this into consideration along with your warning of the Neo-Zangyack’s true nature, but I may need stronger evidence in the future. Sincerely yours, Princess Celestia.’ Well… this helped, I guess,” Twilight sighed.
“Could’ve been better I guess,” Dash added.
“Okay, so now what Dash?” Twilight asked.
“...I wish I knew,” Dash sighed, slumping her head a bit. Then Twilight simply looked at Dash, who smiled.
“Don’t worry… I’m sure we’ll figure something out,” Twilight assured.
“Good, because I wanna hang out with you some more,” Dash admitted.
“Okay then.”
Back up in the Neo-Zangyack Base a huge sneeze echoed. Onichan Jizo was sick.
“Well, isn’t this inconvenient?” Crageson groaned.
“Go rest,” Tankdom told Onichan.
“You bakas know you need me. No way I’d… I… I… ACHOO!” Onichan responded, sneezing, before Sparklefun came in.
“Don’t worry. I know how to make you better, your old boyfriend once had an illness like this, and then stealing love made him better… before the Gokaigers stopped him. But for us, manipulate love will make you better,” Sparklefun told her.
“...Whatever… the sooner I’m cured of this the better.” Onichan groaned, as Tearsome led her away.
“Anyone have an Action Commander that can harvest love?” Crageson asked.
“I do indeed,” Sparklefun said, as a violet dragon walked in, this dragon was female in appearance, and having red female armor on top of the violet scales it had, and pink claws, and across it’s chest was an image of a broken heart.
“You called me, Ms. Sparklefun?” the dragon asked.
“Yes Viogron. We need your love manipulation, and to get the esense of love, our leader is sick,” Sparklefun informed.
“At once, m’lady,” the action commander, Viogron, nodded before spreading her wings for a second and then taking her leave.
“Dash, are you okay? You’ve wanted to help me with the reorganizing books,” Twilight asked.
“Oh, no reason in particular,” Dash replied, helping out as best as she could, not knowing she placed a book in the wrong section.
“Uh, Dash, that was a history book you put in the kids section there,” Twilight informed.
“Oops.” Dash sighed, changing the section, and then found a Super Sentai book. “I gotta thank you for getting me into the Sentai Books.”
“Oh, no problem Rainbow, at least it was more pleasant than when I got you into Daring Do,” Twilight recalled.
“Yea…” Dash giggled, as she sat down, and then they heard some screaming, “Uh oh… what now?!”
They looked out and saw a kaijin, when suddenly, the GokaiGalleon floated overhead.
“Okay, who called for the Galleon?” Dash wondered.
They then saw GokaiGreen at the crow’s nest, looking around, and then she saw Twilight and Dash. “Hey guys, heads up!”
“Pi-er… GokaiGreen? What’re you doing?! Why and how did you bring the Galleon back here?” Twilight asked.
“I went back after the Cakes got home, and I saw you guys forgot your gear, and thus I took off, and here I am, and then you asked me ‘Why and how did you bring the Galleo-’”
“We get it. Pinkie Sense,” Dash sighed.
“Pretty much.”
“Okay, good call Pinkie,” Twilight nodded as she and Dash were given their gear back.
“No ones looking, let’s go Twilight!” Dash smiled, but unknown to them, there was a pony watching them, a yellow Earth Pony in black and yellow, her hair tied into a ponytail style, her eyes covered by black sunglasses and then her Cutie Mark was a black and white symbol that was a sort of circle, cut by a pair of sunglasses with the letters “GB” on the side.
“The new Gokaigers… Masato… please let them have our power…” the Earth Pony whispered.
=GO~KAIGER!=
With that, Twilight and Dash quickly became GokaiRed and Silver, following Green to the sight of the monster attack. Viogran was seen roaring, and starting to shift around violet energy around the Cakes, manipulating their love.
“What’s going on here?” Red wondered.
“Ah… Gokaigers… I got a little surprise for ya!” Viogran said, and then took out scissors
“Why does this feel familiar all of a sudden?” Silver noted before the Cakes began to… bicker?! “Oh no… this is just like Debo Jakireen from Kyoryuger, where it ruins bonds with a snip. Red! Green! We need to destroy those scissors before anyone else’s relationships are ruined!”
“Wait for us!” Applejack shouted, as she, Fluttershy and Rarity charged, and then turned into Gokaiger form, not noticing the Earth Pony snap some pictures of them as they did so.
“Well well, look who we have here?” Viogron smirked.
“Fix the Cakes bond!” Green shouted.
“No can do. My high commander’s not feeling well, so I need to get enough manipulated love to cure her,” the dragon responded, preparing her scissors.
“Get going everypony!” Red shouted.
“Gokai Change!” Green and Pink announced.
=GOU~RAIGER!=
With that, some symbols appeared before GokaiGreen was now donned in a crimson suit that had a kabuto beetle motif, gold accenting the boots, gloves, shoulders, helmet, belt, and even chest as the hind legs were covered in a black bodysuits and the forelegs were silver. GokaiPink appeared now in a similar suit, except what was crimson was a navy blue, and what was resembling a kabuto beetle instead portrayed a stag beetle.
“Gokai Change!”
=KYO~RYUGER!=
With that, Blue and Yellow became two Kyoryugers, except Blue turned into a cyan-colored senshi themed after an ankylosaurus, and Yellow became a gray senshi themed after a pachycephalosaurus, yet the “teeth” of the symbol on their chests weren’t yellow like the main group’s; it was instead a dull gold.
“Okay Dash, let’s go pair style like the others.” Red said, as Silver got a tiny blush under her helmet.
“Alrighty…”
“Gokai Change!”
=GO~-ON WINGS!=
Thus, Red transformed into Go-On Gold, and Silver into Go-On Silver.
“Huh… new changes. Let’s see if you can keep up,” Viogron smirked before using her siccors as blade weapons, and then Gokai-KabutoRaiger, charged with her weapon, the Horn Breaker, which was a Kabuto-themed blaster.
Gokai-Kuwagaraiger charged in as well, and helped Gokai-KabutoRaiger with her Stag Break, a sort of pincer-like weapon, attempting to shatter the scissors, but failed.
“No way…” Gokai-Kuwagaraiger gawked.
“Let us try! Ankydon Hammer!”
“Bunpachy Striker!”
With that, Gokai-KyoryuCyan summoned a huge hammer with a head that was yellow and having Ankydon’s symbol while Gokai-KyoryuGray now wielded a chain array, striking the enemy with powerful blows.
“Combine them now!” Gokai-KyoryuCyan commanded, connecting the Ankydon Hammer to the Bunpachy Striker’s hilt.
“Wow!” Gokai-KyoryuGray gawked.
“Now let’s see if this’ll work,” Gokai-KyoryuCyan responded hitting the ball part of the Bunpachy Striker with the Ankydon Hammer’s head, launching it at Viogron’s scissors. It managed to crack it, and then Gokai-Go-On Gold and Gokai-Go-On Silver charged with the Jet Daggers, both managing to cause more damage with the sudden temperature increase and decrease on the blades, causing them to shatter, and the Cakes nearby suddenly stopped bickering.
“Rule 1, always carry a back-up generator!” Viogran chuckled, summoning a second one, and it caused the Cakes to go right back to bickering.
“OH! You’ve gotta be KIDDING me!” Gokai-Go-On Silver groaned.
“Rule 2, stop heroes before problems arise,” Viogran shouted, charging up the scissors, before tossing them right at Gokai-Go-On Gold.
“Look out Twi!” Gokai-Go-On Silver shouted, knocking Gokai-Go-On Gold out of the way, and the shot forced her out of Gokai Change mode, and then out of Gokaiger mode, and thus Dash was now knocked out.
“RAINBOW DASH!” Gokai-Go-On Gold gasped.
“Man, that was fun! We should really do this again Gokai-losers!” Viogron chuckled before zooming off.
The Gokaigers changed back to normal Gokaiger mode, and tried to shake Dash awake.
“Rainbow! RAINBOW!” GokaiRed shouted, shaking Dash the most.
“What happened to Rainbow?” Cadence asked, as the group returned to the Crystal Empire.
“Some sort of beast manipulating emotions did this. Said something about manipulating love, and since that’s your field…” Twilight informed, holding Dash with magic.
“Well… I’ll need more of a description of how this thing manipulated love and the effects,” Cadence informed, taking Dash from Twilight with her magic, placing the pegasus down next to her throne.
“It made the Cakes bicker,” Pinkie informed.
“How? I don’t know of any creature who could do something like that aside from Changelings who devour love.”
“...It seemed to use some sort of… giant scissors somehow… and when it snipped, it looked like the love bond between Mr. and Mrs. Cake just… well… broke,” Twilight explained as best as she could.
“Hmm… well, what happened to Rainbow Dash?”
“The monster tried to attack me, but Dashie saved me taking the blow herself!” Twilight answered.
“Wait… ‘Dashie’?” Cadence asked.
“Yea, that’s my nickname for her!” Pinkie added.
“Sorry Pinkie… it just slipped out…” Twilight responded.
“...Uh huh,” AJ replied, not buying it.
“Regardless, she’s been out cold almost an hour,” Twilight continued.
“Oh… dear…” Cadence gawked. “...I’ll do what I can.”
“Thank you,” Twilight smiled.
“You’re welcome,” Cadence nodded before turning to the rest of Twilight’s friends, “Could you please leave us for now? I must talk to Twilight… alone.”
They all exchanged a look, before leaving the princess sisters-in-law.
“Something up?” Twilight asked.
“Mind if I ask what you think of your friend Dash?” Cadence told Twilight.
“Huh? Why bring that up, Cadence?” Twilight asked, confused.
“Just curious,” Cadence assured as Twilight began to think.
“Well… despite the fact that she sorta annoyed me back when we first met, I… found her to be a very good friend, and… somepony… special to me,” Twilight said, a bit of a blush forming. “But don’t get any ideas that I like her, like her!”
“...Sure~ Twilight,” Cadence smirked, about to giggle at what she feels Twilight’s true feelings to Dash were.
“Ugh… it’s not funny.” Twilight groaned.
“Sorry Twilight… it’s hard to for me to think straight at the idea of you possibly falling in love with another mare,” Cadence added.
“Not like it’s illegal or anything,” Twilight added.
“True, true. But I would’ve thought you’d have given a stallion a better chance in Ponyville.”
“Hey, you know there aren't that many who stand out in such a rural town.”
“And then there’s Flash Sentry,” Cadence added with a tiny giggle.
“For the thousandth time, I DON’T like him that way!” Twilight insisted.
“...Sorry…” Cadence sighed, “I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.”
“Why’d you even ask me what I think about Dash anyway?”
“You just seemed to worried was all,” Cadence answered, “Even more worried than you’d be for a friend. Trust me, I know these things. Remember? Princess of Love?”
“Yea… you know, I really missed you when you stopped watching me…” Twilight said, a small sigh escaping from her.
“I did too, Twilight,” the elder Princess replied, wrapping her wing around Twilight.
They smiled, and outside the door, came an “awww” from the others.
“Told ya’ll it would be a good idea to watch them,” AJ replied.
“Yes… but I’m still unsure if it’s okay for us to pry on them like this,” Rarity pointed out.
“Don’t worry, they won’t know. So… what do we do now?” Pinkie asked.
“...I hope Rainbow Dash will be okay,” Fluttershy sighed.
“Yea… might as well check the shops and see what we need,” AJ figured.
The four then took their leave, and headed out into town.
“Be at ease Jizo-sama, I have the love you need to heal up,” Viogron said, handing the love in a soup form.
“...Thank you, Viogron,” Onichan groaned as she sat in bed before taking a sip. “It’s not enough…”
“I’ll be sure to get some more for you, Jizo-sama. The question remaining though is… where to find a love more potent?”
“Dunno…”
“So girls… what do you think of Twidash?” Pinkie asked.
“Huh?” the others asked.
“It’s a pairing name, combine Twilight and Dashie’s names, and boom! Twidash,” Pinkie explained.
“Okay… let us pretend the idea of two mares being a couple doesn’t sound… out there, and ask why in the world would you be mentally pairing them?” Rarity inquired.
“C’mon! Don’t tell me you haven’t seen Dashie go googly-eyed when she looked at Twilight,” Pinkie responded.
“When was that?” Rarity asked.
“An example, when we went to the Grand Galloping Gala back in Season 1,” Pinkie said.
“What season?” the other three asked in confusion.
“Regardless, Dashie went all googly-eyed when she saw Twilight’s outfit,” Pinkie explained, “Didn’t you notice that?”
“Actually, now that you mention it… yea,” Fluttershy added.
“Did she really, Fluttershy?” Rarity asked, surprised.
“Yea… but I thought it was her simply admiring your hard made dresses.”
“I see…”
“Ah had a feeling that’d be the case; that silly filly’s not really one for fashion that much,” AJ admitted.
“Why in the world would Dash like Twilight that way? They’re sorta like opposites,”
“But that does explain why Dash rushed in and intercepted that attack,”
“It takes real courage to protect those you love,” a new voice added.
“Huh?!” the four mares gawked as they turned to see the yellow Earth Pony.
“Who’re you?” AJ demanded to know.
The Earth Pony simply showed them her Cutie Mark, which matched the symbol of the 36th Super Sentai team perfectly.
“Wait… that mark…” Rarity gawked, somehow recognizing the mark before pulling out one of the Go-Buster keys and seeing the symbol of it in Key form.
“Ore wa… Usami Yoko, Yellow Buster,” the Earth Pony answered as a faint image of Yellow Buster appeared over the mare’s body for a second.
“You?!” the four mares gawked.
“...What’re you doing here, anyway?” Rarity asked.
“To tell you that you will get our Grand Power, but… only your out cold team member can get it,” Yoko informed.
“Okay…?” the four Gokaigers said confused.
Later, Dash found herself in some sort of ruins, one she recognized very well.
“Wait… this place… it can’t be… the place where Gai got his powers from the original Dragonranger, TimeFire, and AbareKiller?!” she gawked.
“You’re pretty smart,” a voice added, as Dragonranger walked in.
“Oh my gosh! The Dragonranger, Burai?!” Dash gasped with surprise before realizing something, “Wait… you’re dead… does that mean… *gasp* I’m dead?!”
“No. We just borrowed your spirit for a moment to talk. Yeesh, the Gokaiger powers landed in the hands of ponies… girl ponies,” TimeFire said, walking in.
“Hey! What’s that supposed to mean? Are we not good enough to use your powers? Furthermore, you gave your powers to an OTAKU of all people!” Dash responded.
“Don’t mind him,” AbareKiller said, as he walked in next. “He’s just… surprised.”
“I see… but… may I ask why you showed up before me now of all times?” Dash asked AbareKiller.
“You were out cold, seemed like the best time,” another voice added in, the four were soon joined by the source of it, who happened to be a Go-Buster, one with a black bodysuit, tons of golden armor and a Kabuto beetle motif.
“Beet Buster… sugoi. Also, did you know that you look sorta like…” Dash started.
“MagiYellow,” TimeFire said.
“Yea, I’m aware of that,” Beet Buster nodded.
“You’re the only one without a kyoryu theme of any kind Beet Buster,” another voice added as a silver brachiosaur-themed Kyoryuger walked up.
“OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh! THE KYORYUSILVER, TORIN!!” Dash gawked with amazement.
“Good day. You’re the current GokaiSilver,” KyoryuSilver greeted Dash.
“Yea, that’s right,” Dash nodded.
“You’re a good senshi, but know, you are not dead. But, we do have questions for you. Answer them correctly, you’ll be rewarded our Grand Powers… answer them wrong… and you’ll be staying here a while,” KyoryuSilver instructed, making Dash gulp in fear.
“Question 1, what would you do if your friends were discovered to be criminals?” Dragonranger asked.
“I would stand by their side, no matter what Celestia does to us!” Dash insisted.
“Very well spoken,” Dragonranger nodded.
“Next question, if your friends turned on you, what would you do?” TimeFire asked next.
“I would admittedly feel sad at first… but I’d remind them of the good times we had… I’d never turn on my friends… even if they turned on me,” Dash responded.
“Interesting,” TimeFire nodded.
“Question number three, if your friends died… would you still remain true in your friendship to them and carry out any last wishes they had?” AbareKiller inquired.
“My friends are the world to me… if they died, and I could fulfill any last request, I would pour every ounce of my heart into it!” Dash nodded.
“Question four, if you were the only Gokaiger with your memories of being one, what would you do with your friends?,” Beet Buster asked.
“...I would protect them no matter what! Gokaigers or not, they are still my friends, and I won’t let them get hurt,” Dash answered sternly.
“Those friends mean a lot to you.” Beet Buster added.
“More than the world itself… Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie… Twilight,” Dash said to herself, getting KyoryuSilver’s attention.
“Okay… final question. You mentioned your friends, but paused when you mentioned your leader. What are your thoughts and feelings about your leader, Twilight?” KyoryuSilver inquired, getting Dash’s attention, as she was quite shocked he brought that up.
“Well…” Dash started, pausing to think “...she’s… one of my closest friends aside from Fluttershy. But… I feel… that she’s… amazing. Twilight really opened my mind to new things, kindness, and… then Twilight herself is kind, sweet, beautiful… her voice pleasing to the ear… and… I don’t think I’d ask for a better friend, or a greater leader for the Gokaigers.”
“Is there anything more…?” KyoryuSilver added, his voice reminding Dash of her missing father.
“Yes… I… never told anypony this… but… I developed a… sort of crush on Twilight during her time in Ponyville… and… I love her…” Dash admitted, and a new voice was taken back.
It was a hiding senshi, working to make sure Dash didn’t see him.
“Well then… I don’t see much of a need for this anymore,” KyoryuSilver replied as he turned to Dragonranger, both senshi nodded before reverting into their normal forms.
“Rainbow Dash, your loyalty to your friends knows no endings, or bounds. And the love for your leader burns brightly, you are worthy of our Grand Powers,” Burai told her, much to her amazement.
She just gawked at the news before the five held out five glowing orbs, each containing the symbols that represented their respective teams. Dash in her shock just accepted the five Greater Powers.
“Good luck out there… GokaiSilver,” Torin/KyoryuSilver told her. She then floated away, and was back in the Crystal Palace, finally waking up.
“Oh man… a dream?” Dash wondered, but then, she looked at her forelegs, in which were the orbs of the Grand Powers. “No way… it wasn’t a dream. ...But then… that means...”
“Rainbow Dash?” Twilight asked, getting Dash’s attention as she looked to see both Twilight and Cadence looking at her.
“Oh… Twi… Princess Cadence… uh… hi…” Dash responded, a bit surprised and nervous. A smile formed on Twilight’s face, as she rushed over and pulled Dash into a hug. “Ugh… Uh, Twi? You okay?”
“I was worried…” Twilight responded, letting go.
“...” Dash was just so taken back by Twilight’s sudden hug, she just smiled.
“Um… Rainbow Dash? ...What are you holding?” Cadence asked, snapping Dash out of her daze.
“Five more Grand Powers,” Dash told her and Twilight.
“But… how’d you get ahold of those?” Twilight asked, surprised.
“Met with five deceased Sentai senshi. And… one of them… reminded me of my missing father.”
“Your father? ...You hardly said a word about him,” Twilight realized.
“He used to be a Wonderbolt. But one day, during my seventh birthday… he just vanished, we looked all over for him, but… he was gone. My mom raised me on her own after that,” Dash sighed.
“And… what happened to your mother? Is she still alive?” Cadence asked.
“Yea. She’s alive, but I haven’t talked with her much…” Dash sighed.
“I see…” Twilight nodded. “...I’m just glad you’re okay… I was worried that that monster killed you.”
“I’m fine… but I’m happy that you were hopeful that I was okay,” Dash smiled.
“I never said that,” Twilight responded.
“Your eyes told me,” Dash giggled, making Twilight blush a bit as Cadence noticed.
“Oh ho! I see a couple lovebirds~!” she said in a sing-song voice.
Dash was flustered, and Twilight was sorta annoyed.
“So… uh… anyway, there’s good news with us obtaining these,” Dash responded, standing up, “Now I can get access to my mech, and we can double our power in battle!”
However then… Cadence began to cough, feeling ill.
“Cadence!” Twilight gasped, “What’s wrong?!”
“Something’s… draining the love… from the Crystal Empire…” Cadence groaned in pain.
“Oh no… that creature’s back again, isn’t it?” Dash figured.
“It’s a lot worse!” Twilight said, showing that Viogran had grown.
“Already?! We haven’t even gotten the chance to destroy it at ground level, now we need Gokai-Oh?!” Dash gawked.
“Twilight!” Pinkie shouted, rushing in, as GokaiGreen.
“We already noticed Pinkie. I’ll be right there,” Twilight responded, “Gokai Change!”
=GO~KAIGER!=
=GO~KAIGALLEON!=
“Kaizoku Gattai!”
“Kansei Gokai-Oh!”
With that, Gokai-Oh stood before the Action Commander, blades at the ready.
“All the love in Equestira… is for Jizo-sama!” Viogron roared as she charged with her scissors, which Gokai-Oh attempted to stop with its own blades.
“Hang on guys! Gokai-” Dash announced, ready to henshin, when the GokaiCellular was blasted out of her hand, and she saw Tankdom with a blaster.
“I won’t let you do that, Gokaiger,” Tankdom informed.
“Dare da?” Dash demanded, saying “Who are you” in Neghiponese.
“Ore wa Tankdom, and I will not let you stop our Action Commander!” Tankdom shouted, aiming his blaster at Dash. She growled and took out the GokaiSpear.
“Like I’ll let you stop me!” Dash responded before charging at Tankdom. When Tankdom fired at Dash, she used her spear as a ricochet, knocking the blasts away, and even cutting right THROUGH a blast with ease.
“NANI?!” Tankdom gasped before Dash managed to slash right at him, damaging some of his armor somehow.
“Ha!” Dash announced, using her spear like a vault, and kicking Tankdom to the ground.
“Grrrr… ONORE!” he roared, shooting right back up, blasting at Dash again.
Dash however, avoided all of the blasts like nothing. “Okay bub, you’re going down!” Dash shouted, charging forward with her spear, only for it to be reflected, and get blasted at point blank range.
However, Dash was unharmed by the blast, and simply ready to attack.
“Is that all you got?!” Dash scoffed, as she slashed away at the commander, growling angrily. Dash then jumped up to avoid more blasts, and then tricked him into firing at the enemy kaijin, giving her a chance to retrieve her Cellular and Ranger Key. “Fooled ya! Gokai Change!”
=GO~KAIGER!=
GokaiSilver rushed forward, and slashed away at Tankdom. However, Tankdom jumped up, did three mid-air flips, and while still upside down from the third flip, began to spin in a counter-clockwise spiral, blasting away, Silver then gasped at this.
“That’s. My. Dad’s. Signature. MOVE!” Silver shouted, slashing away angrily. “How do you know that?!”
“...I never met your father, but I am good at observing,” Tankdom answered.
“How’d he know dad’s move… and why did he seem… familiar…?” she wondered when...
“DASH! We could use some help!” Pink shouted.
“Huh?” Silver gawked, snapping out of her daze.
“...I’ll leave you to live… this time,” Tankdom informed Dash before vanishing, to her surprise.
“All over it! Now with the Grand Powers of Timeranger, I can call in my mech!” Silver smiled, as she readied TimeFire’s Key.
“From beyond the future, come forth! GoZyuDrill!” Silver called out.
=GOU~ZYUDRILL!=
With that, a giant blue, gold, and silver jet-like vehicle flew in from a time portal, a large t-rex head for a cockpit, and a drill on the front. Silver then jumped up into the cockpit, ready to charge her mecha at the Action Commander.
“Alright, here I co-... ara? Wait a second…” Silver responded, soon taking notice of how the giant Viogron was moving. “What…?”
“Dash?! What’s the hold up?! Aren’t you gonna show how awesome your mech is?” GokaiRed asked.
“Uh guys… there’s two of this guy… looks like we’ve been duped! But… the big one has to be dealt with,” Silver answered.
“Right. Ikuze!”
With that, the five from Gokai-Oh jumped out of the mecha, to the ground as GouZyuDrill flew over and took the charge.
“Hey, where are you going?!” Viogron demanded.
“You’re fighting Gooookai… Silver!” shouted, ramming right into the Action Commander. Then GokaiSilver took out the Dragonranger Key.
“Now, you face the might of the first Dino Sentai’s Grand Power! GouZyuRex!”
=GOU~ZYUREX!=
Thus, the mech transformed into an old-school-style T-Rex before tackling the giant Viogron and whipping her with GouZyuRex’s tail.
Down on the ground Crystal Ponies were lying around, looking sorta sick. The Gokaigers arrived to witness this scene, and they were horrified.
“What are you doing to them?!” Red demanded, seeing Viogran roaming around, now looking at Yoko.
“Just harvesting love to help cure Jizo-sama, and these Crystal Ponies… ohhohoho they are chock-FULL of the essence, more potent than any love I have seen ever before!” Viogron announced proudly.
Yoko simply scoffed, before jumping VERY high into the air, and landing a kick right onto the kaijin.
“Nani?!” Viogron gasped, surprised a pony had such powers.
“That really is Yellow Buster. Oh! Let’s try using the Go-Buster powers!” Pink suggested, taking out a Silver key.
“Sounds good. Ikuze!” Red shouted as the other four pulled out the remaining Go-Busters keys.
“GOKAI CHANGE!”
=GO~-BUSTERS!=
A data field had begun to surround the five changing their suits into that of the Go-Busters, which all had black bodysuits, but Red, Blue, and Yellow had more of a special ops agent vibe with their main colors acting as tops, boots, and gloves while they had silver to accent them, and all the Go-Busters had sunglasses-like visors. Red had a cheetah theme, Blue a gorilla, and Yellow a rabbit. Green became Beet Buster while Pink transformed into a mostly silver warrior with some metallic blue accents that had a stag beetle motif. However, their helmets had yet to fully form when all five announced…
“Let’s Morphin’!” they all shouted, and pressed a button on the Go-Buster henshin devices, and then their helmets were completely formed.
“Red Buster!”
“Blue Buster!”
“Yellow Buster!”
“Beet Buster!”
“Stag Buster!”
“Tokumei Sentai… Go-Busters!”
“Busters! Ready~...” Gokai-Red Buster began when they all announced one word: “GO!”
They call charged forward, with Gokai-Stag Buster running in front of Gokai-Beet Buster.
“Hey, don’t hog the spotlight!” Gokai-Beet Buster responded, moving her aside.
They all knocked Viogron down, easily knocking him to the ground. They then pressed the symbol on their chests.
=TRANSPORT!=
This quickly summoned up the Go-Buster’s sword weapon, the Shogun Blade, and slashed away at Viogron.
“Heh, they’re good,” Yoko commented.
The Gokai-Go-Busters continued to attack, when Red Buster’s Key shimmered. “Hmm…”
=CALL MODE!=
“Hey Dash, Red Buster’s Key is glowing. You said you met Beet Buster?”
“Yea, I did! And got the Go-Busters’ Greater Power from him! Why’d you ask?” Silver responded, still having GouZyuRex take on the giant Viogron.
-Think you can use the Go-Buster’s Grand Power in there! Get Red Buster’s Key and see what happens.- Gokai-Red Buster told Silver, as she did so, getting Red Buster’s Ranger Key.
“Heh! Whatever you say, Red. Ranger Key, SET! LET’S GO!” she shouted, inserting the Ranger Key.
=GO~ZYUBUSTER!=
With that, GouZyuRex suddenly got into a quadrupedal position, horns grew out the top of its head, the tail split into two so it had a normal tail, but the drill-tipped parts shifted onto the back, forming wings with the drill part as the tips of the wings.
“Kansei, GoZyuBuster!” GokaiSilver shouted before basking in the glory of this mode that she had not known about prior.
“DIE GOKAIGER!” the Giant Viogron roared as it charged at GoZyuBuster.
“Onore you Gokai- er… Go-Bust-... er… what do I call you?!” the ground Viogron asked.
=TRANSPORT!=
=LIOBUSTER~!=
“Gokai-Go-Busters,” Gokai-Red Buster answered, holding a red, yellow, blue, gold, silver, and black blast of sorts, with the whole thing having the theme of a lion, and the sides resembling a lion’s face, “Let’s finish her, team!”
=IT’S TIME FOR FINAL BUSTER~!=
The energy charged red, and then they pulled the trigger, and the blast become a red aura cheetah.
“Onore… Gokai… Go… BUSTERS~!” Viogron screamed in pain after the blast hit her, then she fell and exploded in defeat, but the giant Viogron still stood tall.
“Fire!” Silver shouted, as GouZyuBuster blew out fire breath, and the Gokai-Go-Busters changed back to normal Gokaiger mode to watch.
“...Go get ‘er, Silver,” GokaiRed smiled proudly under her helmet.
“Oh I will!” Silver smirked, taking out AbareKiller’s Key. “Now, come forth, the Grand Power of the Abarangers! GouZyuZin!”
=GOU~ZYUZIN!=
And so, GouZyuBuster reverted to a bipedal stance, and then formed what GokaiSilver knew was the original third form of this mech.
“Kansei! Gou~ZyuZin!” Silver shouted before the mecha posed with it’s drill arm ready for battle.
“Nice! Four awesome henkeis!” GokaiRed said amazed, causing Silver to blush a bit under her helmet.
“Aww~” Silver smiled before the giant Viogron roared, getting her attention back. “Uh oh.”
GouZyuZin struck with the drill, knocking Viogron onto the ground, and then Silver smirked. “The finisher! Gokai~ QUADRUPLE Drill Dream!”
And so, alongside GouZyuZin, aura versions of GouZyuDrill, GouZyuRex, and even GouZyuBuster stood with it before preparing their drills. GouZyuDrill just flew forward, GouZyuRex turned and spun his tail, GouZyuBuster flew and turned his wings into a drill in a dive bomb pose, then finally GouZyuZin punched with his drill arm, the for drills connecting at one point before impacting hard onto the giant Viogron, forcing it to drop to the ground, and explode in defeat.
“Shutdown, kanryou!” GokaiSilver smirked, executing giving a thumbs up.
From nearby, Yoko watched with a smile, as she then walked off, disappearing, only noticed by Fluttershy. Then, after Dash came back down, the Gokaigers/Mane 6 looked to see the Crystal Ponies return to normal, get up to their hooves, and then approached the six.
“You… you’ve saved our lives!” one of the Crystal Ponies gawked, “Thank you!”
The entire crowd cheered for the Mane 6, happy for what they did.
“Wow… they trust us!” Fluttershy gleamed.
Later, in Cloudsdale, Rainbow Dash and Twilight were taking a mini-break from their escapades to have a nice quiet time in Dash’s old hometown, and they even arrived at her childhood home.
“Wow… your house looks amazing,” Twilight smiled, as Dash knocked on the door.
“Thanks Twilight,” Dash nodded before they stood waiting, until the door opened, revealing a somewhat older mare with the same mane and eye color as Dash, but her coat was a bright pink, and her Cutie Mark showed a rainbow colored tornado coming out of a white cloud.
“Hi Mom,” Dash smiled.
“...Dashie…” the older mare smiled before coming out and hugging Dash, “Oh… I’ve missed you my little filly…”
“Yea… I’m sorry I couldn’t visit often,” Dash apologized as they let go of the hug.
“It’s okay,” her mom smiled before she noticed Twilight, “Who’s your friend?”
“This is my best friend, Princess Twilight Sparkle,” Dash answered before her mom gasped.
“P-P-P-Princess?!” she gawked and stuttered before bowing before Twilight.
“You don’t have to bow,” Twilight said.
“Anyway, Twi, this is my mother Sora Storm,” Dash introduced.
“A pleasure to meet you, ma’am,” Twilight smiled.
“Oh right! Twilight Sparkle, in my little Dashie’s letters home, you’re the one mostly talked about.” Dash’s mother, Sora Storm, informed.
“Really?” Twilight gawked with surprise as Dash tried to hide a small blush.
“Mom…” Dash groaned.
“Sorry, sweetie. I can’t help it when I hear my lil’ filly is…” she started when Dash simply lead her inside, and was awestruck.
“Wow… it looked so much bigger…” Dash giggled.
“I decided to remodel after you left,” Sora Storm informed her daughter. Twilight walked in, and saw a picture hanging by the doorway, of a filly Rainbow Dash, a younger Sora Storm and a colt with a blue coat while his mane was sky-blue and his eyes were green, along with him having a teal lightning bolt Cutie Mark.
“Who’s this?” Twilight asked, and then both Dash and Sora looked at the picture and got a bit sad.
“That’s my husband… Firefly Spectrum,” Sora sighed, “...He went missing… years ago, when Dash was just a filly.”
“He… he never saw me… get my Cutie Mark…” Dash said, sobbing before her mom brought her closer with her wing.
“Oh… I-I’m sorry,” Twilight apologized.
She then saw another picture, one of a filly Dash, and her father in a Wonderbolt suit.
“Was he what inspired you to try and join the Wonderbolts?” Twilight asked.
“Yea…” Dash informed.
“...He must’ve been one great stallion,” Twi figured.
“He was. Firefly disappeared on Dashie’s seventh birthday,” Sora sighed.
“...I see…” Twilight nodded.
“This is why… I… don’t visit much… memories of daddy come into my mind… and I can’t help but cry…” Dash whimpered as Sora wrapped her wing around Dash to comfort her, but then, Dash felt a second larger wing wrap around her before turning to see… Twilight?
“Don’t be sad, Rainbow. Just remember the fun times you had with him,” Twilight insisted, trying to comfort Dash. She finally stopped crying, and Twilight moved a cloth up to Dash’s eyes and wiped away the tears. “And if that doesn’t help… I’ll be here to help,” Twilight added, making Dash smile.
“Thank you…” Dash smiled, and Sora smiled, and looked over at a picture of herself and Dash on her tenth birthday, both happy.
“My childhood was never a happy one…” Dash sighed. “I was bullied, teased, and made no better when my mom tried to date… the one she found… abused me…” Dash whimpered, the painful memories returning to her mind, and she tried to shove them out.
“Dashie… please don’t cry now… you’ll make me cry if you do,” Sora nearly whimpered.
“Sorry mom…” Dash sighed, as she looked, and saw the familiar stairs that would lead to her room, and she walked up, and saw some of her childhood toys around the room.
“I knew you wouldn’t have wanted me to throw them out… so I didn’t,” Sora informed. Dash giggled, seeing a rainbow colored teddy bear, and then Dash hugged it. “You’re the best, mom.”
“You’re welcome, my little Dashie,” Sora smiled. Twilight walked up and smiled, and then giggled at the mare.
“What?” Dash asked.
“You’re so cute Dashie…” Twilight admitted, before she blushed. ‘Did I really just say that?’
“...R-Really?” Dash blushed in response as her mom looked at the two mare with a smile of her own.
“I’ll leave you two alone for a bit,” Sora replied as she closed Dash’s door, leaving the two mares alone. The two friends just stared at each other for a bit, blushes still obvious on their faces.
To be continued…
Author's Note
Sorry for the long wait on this one. Anyway, that should take care of this half for today. MLP: Gaim Sengoku handled soon.
A Bad Blast from Dash's Past
“So Twilight… what do you think of my childhood house?” Dash asked.
“Very nice place,” Twilight admitted. Dash simply looked around her room, trying to keep from anything being awkward.
“So Twilight, what are your parents like? I mean, I’ve seen them… three times, and I don’t know much about them.” Dash inquired, flying onto her bed. “Still fluffy…”
“Oh… well…” Twilight started, thinking of how to respond. “They’re both kind, sweet and supportive. My mom’s name is Twilight Velvet, and my dad’s name is Night Light. They’re probably the best parents I could ever have.”
“Cool… so you’re named after your mom?”
“Yea… where’d the name Rainbow Dash come from?”
“Oh. From what I was told, it was because of my rainbow mane, and the fact I dashed out of my mom,” Dash answered.
“Wow… quite a story,” Twilight admitted.
“Oh… that kaijin was another FAILURE!” Onichan shouted, now feeling better, but angry as all heck.
“...At least she’s not sick anymore,” Sparklefun muttered.
“Ah… anger,” Crageson smiled.
“Well now what?” Nekomed inquired, as Tearsome walked in.
“Don’t worry Jizo-sama, for I have-”
“NO! All of your Action Commanders are USELESS! I’m hiring a bounty hunter to go after the Gokaigers!”
Back at the Galleon a bit later that day, Twilight was working on a letter with Spike, but not to Celestia, but rather, Twilight’s mom and dad.
“Uh, Twilight, may I ask why you want to send a letter to your parents now of all times?” Spike asked out of curiosity.
“I haven’t sent a letter to them in a long time,” Twilight told him, “I just want them to know I’m doing good… leaving out the information about me being a Gokaiger and all… you know.”
Thus, Twilight began to get to work. “‘Dear Mom and Dad, I’ve been doing great. Been spending time with my friends, doing… princess-y stuff. I’ve continued to strengthen my friendships over the time I’ve been away, and I must admit, other than being with my friends, nothing truly eventful has occurred. Just letting you know I’m doing alright and wondering how you two are doing. I hope to hear from you again. Your little filly, Princess Twilight Sparkle.’ ...Oh. ‘PS. Out of curiosity, would you be okay if I said that I liked a mare instead of a stallion?’”
“A… mare… instead of a… stail- what?” Spike said in surprise. “Where’d that come from?”
“Oh… no reason, Spike. That’s something between me and them for now, okay?” Twilight insisted. Spike sighed, finished the letter, and sent it off. But then he burped up another letter, this one from Princess Luna… seemingly.
“That was some odd timing,” Twilight admitted before reading the letter. “‘Dear GokaiRed, I have recently heard you were collecting the remaining sixth senshi Ranger Keys. I have managed to find the one who had the other keys, and take them back. Meet me in the Everfree Forest so we can make the exchange. From your Mistress of the Night, Princess Luna.’ Hmmm…”
“Something wrong Twilight?” Spike inquired.
“Something seems… off about this letter… but I can’t quite put my hoof on it,” Twilight answered.
“Wait! It mentioned the Ranger Keys I use! Oh boy!” Dash smiled, rushing to the helm. “We are now heading for the Everfree Forest!”
“Rainbow! Wait! Don’t you think we should…” Twilight started, but it was too late as Dash was already directing the galleon to the forest in question, making Twilight groan.
“Sorry Twilight… just go so excited…” Dash apologized, as the Mane 6 began their way in the Everfree Forest.
“I can see that, Rainbow, but I feel something’s wrong about all this,” Twilight told her.
“And you said you couldn’t put your hoof on what it was, exactly, right?” Fluttershy asked.
“Well… yes, but… wait, when did you hear that?” Twilight responded, a bit scared. “Were you eavesdropping?”
“No.” the others responded.
“...Okay then,” Twi nodded, sorta scared.
“Don’t worry Twilight. I’ll stay close by you, and make sure you aren’t scared,” Dash told her.
“...Thanks,” Twilight blushed a little.
“No problem,” Dash smiled.
“Hold my tail?” Twilight asked, moving her tail close to Dash’s, Dash just nodded as she did so, making the rest of the Mane 6 look at each other, giving their own opinions about this with only facial expressions. Rarity was disgusted, AJ was accepting, Fluttershy’s was confused, and Pinkie’s was happy.
Regardless, they soon arrived at their destination in the Everfree Forest, but Luna wasn’t there.
“Girls, we better go Gokaiger, just to be safe…” Twilight said, as the others nodded, and turned into Gokaiger mode, each one holding their Gokai Sabres and Gokai Guns to prepare themselves.
Then suddenly they heard somepony walk over, somepony all to familiar to Silver.
“Oh no… not him…” Silver gawked as from the shadows came a male unicorn, his fur was black, with a blood red mane, green eyes, and a whip for a Cutie Mark. He looked at a wanted poster, and chuckled, being joined by Neo-Goumin and Neo-Sugoumin.
“What’s going on here?” GokaiRed demanded to know. “Who are you?!”
“Just a lone bounty hunter looking for the Gokaigers… but I never expected all of them to be mares. I would’ve expected at least one Stallion amongst them,” the unicorn answered.
“Yea… well, there ain’t.” Silver stated, holding her GokaiSpear with her tail, shaking a bit.
“What’s wrong with shiny there? She scared or something?” the unicorn taunted.
“...I am NOT scared of you Black Bounty!” Silver shouted, making the unicorn’s eyes widen a bit.
“Well… I’m surprised. I never introduced myself yet, and yet somepony already knows me,” the unicorn, Black Bounty noted.
Silver simply charged forward, and then readied the GokaiSpear, when Black Bounty took out a mix of the Neo-Goumin spear and GokaiSaber, and slashed at GokaiSilver, forcing her out of her henshin.
“I should’ve known,” Black Bounty growled as he approached Dash, “The little filly who bothered my affairs with her mother after her father died.”
“My dad… is NOT dead!” Dash shouted, as Black Bounty smacked her wings.
“Shut up! Your father never came back for you even after all these years, did he?” Black Bounty responded.
Dash was silent, as she was smacked around some more, and then Black Bounty held Dash by her neck.
“You never could fend for yourself. What made you think a fancy silver suit would change that?” Black Bounty scoffed, getting GokaiRed’s attention. Pink charged, before slashing away the Neo-Goumin, but being attacked by something else.
“Nani?!” the other Gokaigers gawked before turning to see a green Jetman that had the theme of an eagle, a black ranger with golden accents, white gloves and boots, a kanji shaped visor, and a large golden piece of torso armor. There was also an odd warrior who looked sorta like a Turboranger, but wasn’t one as the gloves were white and trimmed with gold, he had a mostly gunmetal grey suit with golden accents such as a Y on the chest connecting to two shoulderpads, and a V shaped visor on the helmet. Next was a silver Gaoranger themed after a wolf with one arm being blue, what looked like one of the Gouraigers, but the legs were green, he had a green torso armor that resembled a vest, making the symbol on his chest look like a shuriken, along with his visor on his green and gold helmet. The next warrior was one that was mainly gold and had the vibe of a samurai, but the legs and arms were blue and his helmet resembled the sun somehow, and he wielded a fish-themed sword. Finally, there was an orange senshi that resembled a Go-Onger, but was really a Tokkyuger with the number six.
“Sixth… senshi?” Yellow gawked.
“Seems like it,” Green nodded.
“Split up, me and Pink will help Rainbow Dash! Blue, Green and Yellow, you three handle the sixth senshi!” Red shouted.
“Hai!” the others nodded before they split up. With each of the ones fighting taking out sixth senshi Ranger Keys.
“Gokai Change!”

Blue turned into AbareKiller, Yellow turned into TimeFire and Green turned into Dragonranger before they each took on some of the Sixth Senshi. Gokai-AbareKiller took on GaoSilver, KingRanger and ShinkenGold, Gokai-TimeFire handled Shurikenger and Green Eagle, and Gokai-Dragonranger handled GoTitanium and Tokkyu6.
“Hang in there, Rainbow Dash!” Pink shouted as she and Red struggled to get past the Neo-Goumin to reach their friend.
“Leave… me… alone…” Dash whimpered, as Black Bounty cracked a whip at Dash’s wings, causing some feathers to fly off, and Dash’s wings began to bleed.
“Not after what you did to stop me from marrying your mother,” Black Bounty scowled until…
“She said! Leave! Her! ALONE!” GokaiRed snapped, jumping over the Neo-Goumin and delivering a mean drop-kick styled attack onto Black Bounty, forcing him away, and making him drop his weapon. Dash couldn’t move her wings, and Red looked to make sure they were okay.
“Girls! We need to fall back,” Red ordered, taking out a ranger key resembling a ninja, this being red, with a simply rectangular visor but having a golden piece above it with a Circle emblem as well, the wrists and ankles having black bands edged with white, a golden belt, a black lightning bolt over the heart, and a triangular piece near the neck with a yellow tip, white edge, and the inside was black.
Gokai-Dragonranger, Gokai-TimeFire and Gokai-AbareKilled pooled together, and manage to beat the two unfamiliar ones, being Green Eagle and GoTitanium, changing them into Ranger Keys.
“That was easy,” Gokai-Dragonranger noted, picking up the keys in question before turning their attention to the rest of the Sixth Senshi.
“Girls, we’re leaving! Dash needs medical attention!” Red told them.
“What about the…” Gokai-AbareKiller started.
“No time! We’ll be back for them later; let’s go! NOW!” Red insisted.
Gokai-Dragonranger got the keys they managed to beat, and thus they all took out Ranger Keys similar to Red’s.
“Gokai Change!”
=KA~KURANGER!=
So, Gokai-Red transformed into the ninja senshi, NinjaRed, before throwing a smoke bomb, blinding the others to where the Gokaigers were, and when it cleared, all six were gone.
“Grr…” Black Bounty groaned.
Twilight was at the moment, wrapping up Dash’s wings, knowing Dash couldn’t move them.
“Will she be okay?” Pinkie asked, concerned for her friend, as were the others.
“Yea… her wings aren’t broken, but she won’t be able to fly for a little while,” Twilight informed.
“Oh… the poor dear. She took quite the beating,” Rarity noted.
“Uh… how did you know who that guy was Rainbow?” Fluttershy asked.
Rainbow groaned as she opened her eyes to see her friends, then turned to answer Fluttershy’s question.
“After my father disappeared, my mom dated him. And he wanted to marry her, but I knew my dad wasn’t dead, and I kept trying to tell my mom that, stopping Black Bounty from trying to marry her, but in response… he beat me up when my mom wasn’t there… he abused me, doing things around the house to make him look good, and if I didn’t do what he wanted… he would hurt me…” Dash said.
“Oh… my…” Fluttershy gawked.
“And… that wasn’t the first time he brought a whip to my wings,” Dash added, “The first time he did… was because I told my mom that he was nothing but a big stupid jerk, but when she left the room…” Dash started, tears forming in her eyes, as she entered a fetal position. “He hit me… and said I was stupid… I was worthless… a waste of existence… that even Celestia looked down on me…”
“Rainbow… I mean… Dashie…” Twilight responded, stroking Rainbow’s mane with her hoof. “Don’t worry about that now, okay? We’re all here for you.”
“Thank you…” Dash smiled.
“You’re welcome,” they all nodded and smiled.
“So that letter was a fake?” Spike said, looking at it.
“He once faked a letter that said my dad was dead. But… I saw him forge it,” Dash nodded as Twilight looked at the handwriting.
“That would explain why it was written like this; Princess Luna knows who we are, so she’d never call us by our Gokaiger names,” Twilight recalled.
“Twilight… thanks for the help, I owe ya,” Rainbow replied with a grateful smile.
“Dash…” Twilight replied with a slight smile. “Just promise me you won’t use your wings until we know for sure they’re better, okay?”
“For you… I’d promise anything,” Dash told her.
“That’s all I ask of you for now,” Twilight told Dash, giving her a little hug, trying to be gentle so as not to hurt Dash’s wings.
“Aww…” Fluttershy and Pinkie went.
However, Rarity looked disgusted at the idea of two mares falling in love, again, but AJ just blocked Rarity’s view for everypony’s sake.
“Thank you,” Rarity thanked in a whisper.
“Just keep these thoughts to yerself, Rare. No need to spoil a happy moment,” AJ told her.
“Noted,” Rarity responded.
A little bit later, Twilight was in Dash’s room on the Galleon, keeping the pegasus occupied, as they were playing a board game. Twilight rolled the dice, and got a 4.
“One, two three, four,” Twilight counted moving her game piece forward up to a star spot, she then took a chance card. “‘You get a big bonus and get to move forward ten spaces,’ Sweet!”
“Oh, lucky,” Dash muttered, as Twilight won. “Well, congrats Twi, you win.”
“Yea, I guess I did bear you, for real, this time. Unlike when you threw the game to keep reading Daring Do,” Twilight responded.
“Yea… that’s true,” Dash chuckled nervously.
“Yea… little Reading Rainbow,” Twilight chuckled.
“Reading Rainbow?” Dash asked.
“Oh. I haven’t told you. I’ve been working on a children’s book based on that. I’m gonna call it ‘Reading Rainbow’. And the idea kinda came from my nickname for you after I found out you like to read. Wanna hear what I got?” Twilight asked, taking out a small book that was hand drawn and hand written.
“...Sure,” Dash smiled as Twilight smiled as well, opening the book.
“‘Rainbow Spectrum is a performer pony. She loves to fly in the sky,’” Twilight started reading, showing the drawing of a mare that looked like Dash with magenta fur.
“Looks a bit like my mom,” Dash noticed.
“‘Rainbow flew around a lot, but got hurt. She was put in the hospital, and her friend, Dawn Sparkle gave her a book to read,’” Twilight continued, showing a pony who looked like Twilight on the next page, except she had white fur. “‘But Rainbow didn’t like to read. Thinking it was for yolkhead ponies,’” she showed a picture of Rainbow Spectrum refusing to take a book from Dawn.
“Oh yea… that was like when you introduced me to Daring Do,” Dash chuckled nervously as Twilight continued.
“‘But when nopony was looking, Rainbow started to read, enjoying the book,’” Twilight continued as the next few pages showing scenes of Rainbow’s character reading the book, and the events that happened after her hospital stay. “‘But then, she had to leave, and she didn’t know what to do. She wanted to finish her book.. So, she snuck into the hospital to continue reading it one night. However… she didn’t find the book, saddened, she left, and asked Dawn Sparkle for a copy of the book, admittedly ashamed of telling Dawn that she liked it. But Dawn just smiled as she gave Rainbow not just her copy of the first book, but every book in it’s series.’” She showed Dash pictures, one of Rainbow Spectrum sneaking around, leaving the hospital after sneaking, and then asking Dawn Sparkle for the book.
“‘Then, she fell in love with reading, and gained a nickname, Reading Rainbow. So always know, reading is a good thing. The end’” Twilight finished, closing the book.
“Wow… and… I inspired you to write that?” Dash gawked.
“You know the old saying ‘write what you know’.” Twilight replied, making both mares giggle at this before looking at each other with big smiles.
“Sorry that I knocked off reading… and called you an egghead,” Dash apologized.
“Don’t worry about it, Dashie… I forgive you,” Twilight told her.
Dash giggled a bit. “You’re sweet.”
“You may not admit it, but sometimes Dashie… so are you,” Twilight admitted as well.
Dash blushed a bit, smiling at Twilight. This caused Twilight to blush as well as they got closer to each other. They got a bit closer, when something hit the side of the GokaiGalleon.
-MINNA! We’re under attack!- Fluttershy’s voice shouted.
“Nani?!” Twilight gawked, getting right to her hooves, “Rainbow, don’t go from this spot. I’ll be right back!”
Twilight looked outside, and saw some giant Neo-Sogoumin.
“Mou! I’ll be back Dash, I promise,” Twilight replied as she ran out of the room.
“...Okay,” Dash sighed.
“Kaizoku Gattai!”
“Kansei, Gokai-Oh!”
“Twilight, I think it might be a good idea if we called in the Ressha!” Yellow suggested, taking out Tokkyu3’s Key.
“Good call, Rarity,” GokaiRed nodded as the other Gokaigers followed suit and inserted their keys.
“Ranger Key, SET! LET’S GO!”
Then they formed Tokkyu-GokaiOh.
“Kansei, Tokkyu-GokaiOh!”
And with that, they began to fight off the Neo-Sogoumin, not noticing Tokkyu6 break into Dash’s room and kidnap her.
“HELP~!” Dash managed to scream, getting Red’s attention.
“Dash! Grr… fight these guys, I gotta save Rainbow Dash!” Red told the others.
“The Neo-Zangyack told me to simply bring you guys to their leader, they never said you had to be alive!” Black Bounty said, pulling out a whip again, however… it was destroyed by some blasts, and then Twilight flew in, and she flew fast… and a mach cone began to form around her.
“What the…?!” Black Bounty gawked as both he and Dash saw this.
“...Twi…” Dash smiled as Twilight continued to pick up speed before…
“NOPONY MESSES WITH RAINBOW DASH AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!!” Twilight screamed as she did it, a Sonic Rainboom left in her wake, KingRanger, GaoSilver and Shurikenger tried to stop her, but Twilight simply charged at them, turning them back into Ranger Keys, and using her tail to send them into the Galleon, which were caught by GokaiPink, Yellow, and Green, respectively.
“...She did it…” Dash realized, recognizing what Twilight just did.
“IMPOSSIBLE!” Black Bounty shouted, as Twilight smacked him, and grabbed Dash.
“You okay?” Twilight asked.
“...I am now,” Dash nodded with a smile, hugging Twilight tightly. Twilight turned around, knocking ShinkenGold and Tokkyu6 back into Ranger Key mode, before flying back to Tokkyu-GokaiOh. “There. You should be safe now.”
“...Thanks Twi,” Dash replied before suddenly… kissing Twilight, much to her surprise. “...Sorry… I don’t know where that came from,” Dash apologized when they parted.
“We’ll talk later,” Twilight told her, transforming back into GokaiRed and rejoining the other Gokaigers in the cockpit, “Okay ladies, let’s scrap these flying tin cans!”
“Gokai Tokkyu Densha Giri!” they shouted as the mecha charged and slashed at all the Neo-Sugoumin, making them explode, but Black Bounty also began falling in the process. But he ran off, to plot and scheme again.
“Well Rainbow?” Twilight asked later, with the others watching.
“Please don’t tell me that you like her!” Rarity said.
“Rarity! Just calm down about dat, okay?!” AJ snapped at the unicorn.
“Sorry…” Rarity responded, as Spike walked over, curious about what was going on.
“Well… I honestly think you two look kinda… cute,” Fluttershy admitted with a smile, making a “squee” sound in the process.
“So, what’s the deal Dashie?” Pinkie added, jumping up and down over and over again.
“Well…” Dash started, a huge blush visible on her muzzle. She then realized there would be no more point in hiding it, and sighed. “...I confess… I love Twilight, okay?! Don’t judge me!”
“So… you really are bi-sexual?” Rarity asked.
“What’s that mean?” Fluttershy added.
“It means she likes both stallions and mares… on the deeper level,” Applejack explained with Rarity shuddering at the thought.
“Nope,” Dash said. “I only like other mares… not sure why… what would a term for that be?”
“I think the term for that would be… lesbian,” Pinkie guessed.
“Pinkie’s right,” AJ informed, as Rarity looked like she was about to get sick. “And Rarity, if you’re gonna hurl, do it in the restroom, please?!”
Rarity nodded, and then rushed off.
“Now that she’s outta the way, Dash, continue, if you please,” AJ requested.
“Why? So the rest of you could bash on me for liking other mares?!” Dash started to cry until Twilight approached her and smiled before kissing the pegasus, to her surprise.
“We’re not gonna bully you, we just wanna understand your perspective,” Fluttershy told Dash.
“...It’s just… I’ve been bullied so much as a filly, and most of those who bullied or hurt me were colts… so… I took on my tomboyish nature to hide that soft part of me… and part of that bullying made me hate colts… so I told myself back then, I would never fall for anypony who was the opposite gender of myself,” Dash confessed, tears falling from her eyes now.
“Black Bounty knew this, and he used it to keep me in line… and if I ever rebelled, he said he would tell my mom… I was so scared of what she would think…” Dash continued.
“Really? ‘Cause from what I saw in Cloudsdale, she actually looked happy for you,” Twilight pointed out.
“Well… he told her, and that’s what drove my mom to kick him out of her life. She still likes stallions…” Dash stated.
“No… no no no no!” Dash screamed rushing to the stairs, Black Bounty having told her to throw away her little teddy bear, but Dash had refused, so Black Bounty went to go and tell Sora that Dash is a lesbian.
“Sora, I’m afraid to say your filly’s been more trouble than she’s worth. She won’t listen to me, and not only that, I have some news to tell you about her. Rainbow Dash is a lesbian,” Black Bounty informed Sora Storm.
“Really…?” Sora said, a bit in disbelief, as she saw her daughter by the top of the stairs. “...Why were you prying on my daughter and her interests?!”
“I simply found out,” Black Bounty defended, as Sora sighed.
“Rainbow Dash, please come down here,” Sora told her daughter as Dash nodded and walked downstairs instead of flying down like she would’ve normally. In her hooves was her teddy bear, and the young filly was scared.
“Dashie, Black Bounty told me you’re a lesbian… is this true?”
“...Y...Y-Yes…” Dash whimpered, ashamed that her mom found out.
“Why?” Sora asked.
“...Because… the colts kept bullying me… so was Black Bounty,” Dash answered.
“What?” Sora asked, turning to her boyfriend. “Is this true?”
“...Well… no, she’s lying” he responded.
“...Black Bounty… I would think I’d know if my little filly is lying or not, and she’s telling me the truth. Right Dash?” Sora responded.
“Yea mommy,” Dash nodded, holding her teddy bear close.
“Fine! Yes, I don’t like her! She’s annoying, stupid, disobedient, pathetic, and the most idiotic filly I’ve ever met!” Black Bounty shouted, making Sora gasp in shock before that shock turned to anger.
“...Black Bounty… I never want to see you EVER AGAIN! GET OUT NOW!” Sora demanded, practically kicking him out of the house.
Dash was crying onto the couch, as Sora walked over to her. “Rainbow Dash… why didn’t you tell me?”
“Three… reasons. 1. You wouldn’t believe me normally… 2. Daddy’s not dead, but he made you think he is… 3. …” Dash paused.
“The last reason…?” Sora asked.
“*sighs* he… he threatened to reveal I’m a lesbian… and I didn’t know what you’d think of that…” Dash answered, crying her heart out. Sora however, picked her daughter up, and hugged her.
“Mom…?” Dash asked, confused.
“I’m not mad Dashie. I may like stallions still, but I want you to be happy with your own preferences,” Sora answered, wiping Dash’s tears with her wings.
“Uh… that means…?” Dash asked, a bit confused still.
“If you like fillies more than colts, that’s okay by me. I just want you to be happy,” Sora told her.
“Thank you mommy! Uh… that mean guy isn’t coming back… is he?”
“Dash… I’m going to forget that he even entered my life.” Sora informed.
“...Forget who entered your life?” Dash asked, surprising Sora before she saw Dash give her wink, seeing she was already playing along with this.
“Nopony. So Dashie… do you mind me asking why you like fillies as opposed to colts?” Sora asked.
“Well… the colts at flight school always bully me… I didn’t bring it up because I didn’t want to be a tattletale, and… they did so many mean things… I promised I wouldn’t fall for a colt ever for as long as I live,” Dash told her.
“Well Dashie, I want you to be happy, and I really hope anypony you fall for, is lucky enough to return the feelings,” Sora replied, making Dash smile and sniffle a bit.
“...Yea…”
“And that’s the case,” Dash responded, as Rarity walked in, having heard everything Dash had said.
“Rainbow Dash… I guess that’s an… okay reason,” she admitted, “...I guess if I grew up in as harsh a life as that… I might’ve felt the same way…”
“Thanks Rarity,” Dash replied.
“But… please don’t expect me to be 100% okay with this… more 85% okay.”
“...Fair enough,” Dash nodded as Twilight got closer to Dash again, making both mares blush, unashamed of their attraction this time.
“So do you remember the day you swore off colts and stallions Dash?” Twilight asked.
“Yep.”
Rainbow Dash was flying around, practicing some moves for flight school, when suddenly some clouds were dragged up above her path, and then it began to rain, snow, and thunder.
“HEY! OW! COME ON! OW! KNOCK IT OFF!” Dash screamed in response to the sudden weather being thrown at her.
“Take that Rainbow Crash!” some colts shouted as they knocked Dash out of the sky, and she fell into mud.
“Oh man… not cool…” Dash groaned as she crawled out of the mud. When she was zapped by lightning and rained on, which made it unable for her to fly. “...Those colts… so mean…”
The colts who did it to her flew off. But one stay for a moment. “Take that Blank Flank!” one shouted, before Dash was left alone.
“...That’s it… no more colts for me… Celestia hear me now. I now will never ever EVER fall for a colt ever, but I will let myself fall for fillies and mares, this I promise that I will promise to do as long as I may live!”
“So that’s that. And now, I will admit… Twilight Sparkle… I love you,” Dash smiled, hugging Twilight, and then Twilight looked at her eyes for a moment.
“...Rainbow Dash…” Twilight smiled, returning the hug as the two looked into each other’s eyes, “...I love you, too.”
“Well… the reasons I love you… your voice, your eyes, your kindness, your uniqueness, your smarts, ...pretty much everything about you,” Dash smiled.
“Aww… well, the reasons I love you… your honesty, your competitiveness, your speed, your passion, and your loyalty… you’re amazing,” Twilight smiled, as they had one look into each-others eyes… before they kissed.
“Aww~!” Pinkie, Fluttershy, AJ, and even Rarity, smiled at the sight of this blossoming romance.
Spike’s cheeks then began to puff up, and he held his stomach.
“Spike…” Rarity said.
“No… not this,” he responded, before he spat out a letter. This made Dash and Twi stop their kiss, and see that the letter was from Twi’s mom and dad.
“Oh, I was expecting this. Just… not… now,” Twilight replied, chuckling nervously before opening the letter.
She looked at it, and then squealed.
“What? What is it, Twilight?!” Dash asked.
“Listen. ‘Dear Twilight, Thank you for writing back to us. We were admittedly getting a bit worried with your silence. But we wrote to let you know we’re doing just fine ourselves. Also, we noticed your PS and we just wanted to say, yes. We are fine with you being a lesbian. In fact, as long as you’d be happy (being a lesbian being what you want to be), we are both willing to support you all the way, and wish you luck in finding the perfect mare for you to be with. Hope to see you and your marefriend soon. Your loving parents, Night Light and Twilight Velvet!’ You see, it means we get to be a couple!”
“Wait… what about your brother and sister-in-law… we should ask them too…” Dash said, “Just to be careful.”
“...Good point,” Twilight admitted, “...I’m sure we can tell them. They’ve been willing to support me all these years, why wouldn’t they now?”
“Cause I don’t want to feel the wrath of the Captain of the Royal Guards.”
“Oh… right…” Twilight sighed.
Author's Note
After such a long wait, I finally update this story here. By now, there's a lot more chapters on Fanfiction, so if you want your Gokai-Pony fix, go check that out. The reason this was held off was because of a story connecting this with MLP: Gaim Sengoku... more on that later. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this after such a long wait, and yes, this chapter confirms the TwiDash pairing, and that me and Pika are indeed TwiDash fans. Just keep in mind we own nothing here, and that Super Sentai (with two exceptions) are owned by Toei, and MLP... well, you get the idea.
