//------------------------------// // Space 2: One Giant Step // Story: Shining Lucky Stars // by Axle the Cobalt Exorcist //------------------------------// "It's Eject and Rewind in the morning,"  the voice of a morning DJ said through the radio on the kitchen counter. "Today we're still talking about those warriors from the stars, the Kyurangers." It had only been two days since Jark Matter started their invasion. The school grounds were totally ransacked, causing it to shut down for a week. In addition to the news of a full on alien invasion, the heroes that stood against them were making headlines. Social media was abuzz with people talking about what they did and who they might be. Flash, however, didn't pay all of this conversation any mind. He just ate his breakfast of toast and jam with the radio talk show in the background.   "That's right Rewind. Ever since they showed up at Canterlot High, these five have been all anyone can talk about," another voice said on the program. "The big questions on everyone's minds are where these costume clad heroes came from."   "Hmm, I guess it's a good thing I'm keeping this Rebellion thing a secret," he said as he took another bite of his toast. All of the Kyurangers agreed that it would be better for everyone if they kept their identities a secret. "If everyone knew it was me under that helmet they'd all be swarming my house. Plus..." Flash leaned back in his chair as his mind went back to his first fight with Jark Matter. Specifically the moment he helped Twilight. "I'm afraid of what she'd think of me if she knew I was the one who saved her."   Flash's train of thought was soon broken when he heard the doorbell. He quickly finished his meal, jumped out of his chair, turned off the radio, and rushed to the door. When he opened it he found Bulk, Comet Tail, and Sweet Leaf waiting for him. "Come on Flash, we're going to be late. We need to get to the ORION soon," Comet said.   "Alright, alright," Flash replied as he walked out and closed the door behind him.   "Can you believe Shou Ronbou is sending us on our first mission off earth today?" Sweet Leaf said with a happy face as the four started to walk towards the school. "I also can't wait to give him this basket from my mom's garden as a welcome to Earth," she said as she held up a basket full of fruits and vegetables.   "Wow Sweet Leaf, that's actually a pretty good idea," Bulk said.     It didn't take long for the group to get to the school. However, most of the grounds were fenced off due to repairs. Typically when school was closed the students wouldn't bother coming near the building, but the school was their only way of getting to the ORION. They approached the fence with the least amount of people around it. Bulk gave the others a boost over the fence one by one. Once they managed to get Bulk over the fence they snuck through the construction equipment to the window that led to the abandoned classroom. They left the window unlocked the last time they were there, so all they had to do was open it and climb in.   "Why couldn't we use our Voyagers to get to the ORION? We wouldn't need to sneak into the school to use the Link-Tama," Comet asked. "We could..." Flash started as he opened the supply closet. "If you want everyone freaking out about spaceships flying through the sky like it was nothing."   Comet let out a sigh as the group piled into the closet. "I guess you're right, but where's the fun in using this?" he said as they entered.   Once they got to the other side of the tunnel the group entered the hallway of the ORION. The repairs on the ship were done and it looked like a proper star ship now. They walked down the hall to the bridge of the ship with Shou Ronbou standing before the console. "Ah, I'm glad you came, Kyurangers," he said.   "We wouldn't miss it," Flash said.   Sweet Leaf went up to the commander and held up her basket. "Here you go, a gift of the Earth's bounty. Just my way of saying welcome to our planet," she said.   Shou took the basket with a smile on his face. "Thank you Sweet Leaf. This will make a great hot pot for dinner tonight," he said. Sweet Leaf smiled as well at the sight of the dragon enjoying her gift. The doors to the bridge suddenly opened, causing everyone to turn to see Aria. Her hair was a mess and was dressed in a t-shirt and sweatpants. Her eyes were half asleep as she shuffled to one of the panels to the side. She pressed one of the buttons and a after a few seconds a small door opened to dispense a mug of coffee. She took a sip from the mug before turning to see the others. "Why are you guys here?" she asked.   "We're going on our first mission as Kyurangers," Comet answered.   "Cool, have fun with that," Aria replied as she shuffled back to the door. "You're coming too Aria," Shou said before Aria could leave the room.   Aria turned back with a groan. "Do I have to?"   Flash let out a snicker as he crossed his arms. "Your a Kyuranger too Aria. That's the whole reason why you’re living in here and not in some broken down shack." Aria pinched the bridge of her nose for a moment as she wasn't ready to deliver a snarky remark. "Uh fine," she said. She then chugged her coffee in one go before throwing the empty mug to the side. "At least let me get dressed first." The others nodded as Aria left.    "Alright Kyurangers, let's get down to business," Shou said as he pointed his cane at the center table. An image of appeared above the table like a hologram. The image was of a triangle diagram that was divided into four parts filled with monsters. "Our enemy is the Jark Matter Shogunate."   "That much we know," Flash said. "We also know that Earth is the last planet yet to be conquered by them. And we assume they're interested in the Equestria Magic which they don't know even exists."   "Very good Flash," Shou said as he pointed to the top of the triangle. "Their leader is the Shogun, Don Armage. Below him are the Karō who govern the star systems, like Eriedrone. The Malistrate are the ones sent to conquer and control the individual planets. Is everyone following so far?"   "Yeah," Bulk said in a quieter tone than normal.   "So wait, according to this chart we only fought the grunts of the army," Comet added. "That means we barely put a dent in their forces."   "Yes, but our mission today will hopefully aid in our efforts agents Jark Matter," Shou explained. He turned to the console of the ship. He then pulled out a pair of aviator sunglasses and put them on. "Hold on tight. I’m sure this will be a new experience for all of you."   Not knowing what will come next, everyone grabbed onto anything within arms reached and held on for dear life. The commander grabbed one of the levers and pushed it to fill throttle. The view of stars outside turned into streams of speeding light as the ORION took off at incredible speeds. Everyone was surprised as they all were pushed back from the speed. The feeling of the G-force only lasted for a moment before the ship suddenly stopped and everyone fell to the ground.   "Welcome to the industrial planet Zigama," Shou said as he turned back to the others. Many of the humans’ heads were still spinning after their trip through hyperspace.   The doors slammed open as a fully clothed and angry Aria barged in. "Somebody better explain why I was just pinned to my wall!" she yelled before she noticed the new view out the window and calmed down. Once the others recovered, they joined Aria in the surprise. The planet they saw was different from Earth and had mechanized rings around it.   "Oh my gosh, it's another planet. It's another planet!" Comet yelled in excitement.   "Kyurangers, your mission starts now," Shou said as he raised his cane. "Go down to the planet and find one of the rebellion's agents. Once you find him, you need to retrieve the package he has and bring it back here."   "Awww, it's just a retrieval mission," Comet said, disappointed. "I thought we were going to free this place."   "You need to start with the light weights before you move onto to the heavy stuff," Bulk said as he patted Comet on the shoulder.   Flash led the the others threw the double doors. "Come on guys, lets get this party started," he said. The Rangers all boarded their voyagers and made their descent to the planet surface.   Within a room filled with all manner of gold and treasure, several Indavers were walking through with serving trays. In the middle of the room was a large lizard-like creature dressed in a red coat and blue and gold accents. The lizard creature was sitting on a throne and was looking at over a wanted poster of the five Kyurangers. "My my, these Kyurangers would fetch me quite a large sum," he said with a big grin. This was the Malistrate of Zigama, Gamettsui.     The Kyurangers all landed near a bazaar. Unlike the people on Earth, this planet paid their voyagers no mind. In fact the whole planet looked like it was populated by all kinds of aliens. The Earthlings were speechless at the sight of all the different species they were seeing. Comet Tail especially was excited at the sight. "Wow a real alien bazaar. It’s like we really are in a sci-fi movie. Not to mention all the aliens." He said with a grin.   "Hey isn't Aria an alien?" Sweet Leaf asked. "After all she's from Equestria not Earth."   "I guess you're right Sweet Leaf," Flash answered.   "What's that suppose to mean?" Aria followed. Sweet Leaf put on an innocent face and waved her hands. "Nothing, nothing, just an observation since we're bound to find others who aren't from Earth."   "Yeah well Equestria’s not too interested in life from other planets like you guys are," Aria said. "Anyway, let's get back to looking for this agent."   The group continued through the bazaar with all manner of other worldly goods being sold. They ended up walking for hours before they agreed to take a break. "I'm starting to get hungry," Bulk said.   "Um, no offense to the planet, but I don't really trust this place for food," Flash said as he turned to a food stand that seemed to be serving plates of blue slime.   "No, no please, I need that to support my family," a new voice yelled. The Earthlings turned to see a group of Indavers walking out of a shop with large sacks in hand. Following them was a large, blue man in overalls with three horns on his head. "The taxes are bleeding us dry. Soon we won't be able to buy food or keep our home."   "Looks like Jark Matter has this planet in its clutches as well," Sweet Leaf said.   Flash nodded. "We need to help them," he said. Before anyone could stop him he ran off. The others followed, thinking Flash was going to get himself hurt. "Alright Jark Matter, leave these people alone or else."   The Indavers looked confused for a moment before pulling out their daggers. "Flash, I don’t think these guys are in the mood to act friendly," Comet said.   "I thought we were trying to keep a low profile," Sweet Leaf added.   "Sorry but I just can't help it when the helpless cry out," Flash said with a cocky grin. Ok I might be letting this Kyuranger thing go to my head, but at least I’m helping people.   The group of five held up their arms to show off the matching metal bands they all wore. In a flash of light the bands transformed into their Saiza Blasters. They all pulled out there Kyutama and spun the surface till the incomplete images were complete. "Cosmic Slide!" they all yelled as they inserted the Kyutama into the blaster before pushing the Kyutama forward and flipped out the grip.   "LEO KYUTAMA!"   "LUPUS KYUTAMA!"   "TAURUS KYUTAMA!"   "CHAMELEON KYUTAMA!"   "DORADO KYUTAMA!"   "SAI ZA CHANGE!!!"   The five swung their arms over their heads before pointing their blasters to the ground and pulled the trigger on the grip. "Star Change!" they all yelled as star shaped symbols in their respective colors appeared on the ground. Stardust filled the air and constructs of their constellations formed in front of them. The constructs then passed over their bodies and formed their battle suits, and a bright light shined forming their helmets. The soldiers were surprised by their sudden appearance and were quickly prepared to attack. "Who are these guys?" the large man asked. Leo Red struck first, punching one of the soldiers to the ground before raising his fist to the sky. "The Super Star, Leo Red!" he announced.   Lupus Blue jumped high towards a wall, kicked off the wall to gain more height and landed on one of the Indavers, forcing him to the ground. "The Beast Star, Lupus Blue!" he yelled. Once the enemy was down, Blue raised both his claws before performing rapid slashes on the Indaver’s body.   "The Ring Star!" Taurus Black yelled as he picked up one of the grunts over his head. He then spun around several times before slamming the Indaver to the ground. "Taurus Black, Oh Yeah!"   Chameleon Green kept side stepping to avoid attacks. The goons were getting more frustrated as their attacks kept missing. One last lunge allowed the girl the opening she needed to perform a kick and knock it back. "The Stealth Star, Chameleon Green."       "The Blade Star," Dorado Yellow said as she swung her leg to kick one of the Indavers in the head. She ducked to avoid an attack from another enemy. She slipped to the side of it before performing a chop to the Indaver's neck. "Dorado Yellow."   "We're the Stars of Rebellion," The Red Ranger said as he hit the soldiers back. "Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger!"   As the Rangers fought, they were being spied on by a cloaked figure. The figure held out a wanted poster to match the picture of the five Kyurangers with the five that were fighting in front of her. "Hmm, the Kyurangers. Looks like today is my lucky day."   It didn't take long for the Kyurangers to send the last of the goons running. Once the Indavers were cleared, the five Kyurangers transformed back. The Rangers then turned to see the large man along with two children who looked similar to the man. "Thank you, thank you," the man cried in happiness.   "It was nothing," Comet Tail said with a smile.   As Comet Tail and the others talked with the alien man, Flash was to the side looking up at the large tower with a ring around it in the middle of the city. "That looks like one of the Jark Matter ships. Is that what they use to destroy planets?"   As Flash observed the giant tower he didn't notice the figure running toward him. Before the two knew what was going on the cloaked figure tripped over Flash. "Oh I'm so sorry about that," the figure said. When Flash finally managed see who it was that fell on him he saw a green skinned girl with black hair.   "I-it was nothing," Flash said as he dusted himself off. "I'm kinda use to it by now."   "Well I didn't mean to get in your way," the girl said as she picked herself up. Anyway I need to get going," she said as she ran off. Flash just waved goodbye as she turned down an alley.   "Jeez, how gullible can you be?" Aria asked. Flash turned to see her with her arms crossed and an unhappy look. "What are you talking about?" Flash replied.   "You got played, lover boy," Aria said as she slowly walked towards him. "Odds are she swiped your wallet while you were down."   "And what makes you say that?" Flash asked.   Aria looked at him with an unamused face. "Do you really think a girl tripping over a boy like that is normal?"   "Well..." Flash started as he thought back to all the times he came in contact with a girl that way. After a moment he reached for his pocket to find that something was indeed missing. "Dang it, she swiped my wallet while I was down."   He then started to run after the girl. "Tell the others I needed to get something back," Flash yelled.   Aria just let out a sigh as he went back to the others. "What a dork."     The green skinned girl quickly ran down the dark alley. Once she made sure she was in the clear, she pulled out the black wallet she pick-pocketed. She dug through the main pocket to find the green paper money inside. "Dang it, why in the Libra system would those guys carry around play money. This stuff is worthless."   Flash soon came running by looking winded. "Stop... I just want... my wallet back... I won't be mad... if you just give it back," Flash said as he tried to catch his breath.   As the girl noticed the boy, her frown turned into an evil grin. She turned and ran into Flash's arms. She then looked up to him with pleading eyes. "Oh I'm so sorry for that sir," she said. Flash was very confused with the situation in front of him. "I-I had no choice. The Malistrate, Gamettsui's taxes are hurting the whole planet. I only stole from you to help my poor family."   Flash didn't know what to do. he wasn't happy that this girl was stealing from him, but it was plain to see she was in need of help. "I sorry, I just wanted my wallet back. I didn't know about your family. Are the taxes here really that bad?"   "Yes they are," the girl said with tears in her eyes. "Gamettsui loves nothing more than money, and he will bleed the planet dry to get it."   "That's terrible," Flash said as he placed his hand on her shoulder. "Is there anything I can do to help?" "Well maybe. You were one of those people that helped that old man, right?" she said as she turned to Flash. "Yes, We're the Kyurangers. Where the ones fighting against Jark Matter," Flash said.   The girl's face lit up. "Then you can help. If we can get that Needle we can save the whole planet from Gamettsui's oppression."   “Wait, what’s a Needle?” Flash asked.   The Girl pointed to the large tower Flash was looking at before. “Its Jark Matter’s base of operations.”   "I see. Well saving planets is our main mission, so I guess I will help you out, um..." Flash trailed off.   "My name is Shifty, Shifty Shadows," the girl introduced herself.   "Well Shifty, my name is Flash Sentry and I'd gladly help you out." he replied as he pointed to himself with his thumb.   "Well Flash," Shifty said as she grabbed his arm. "Let's go save this planet."     Once Aria told the group that Flash had gone, the others went on without him. The four found themselves under a bridge. "Look over there," Sweet Leaf said as she brought attention to a shady looking figure sitting on a bench. The team tried the best they could to be as discreet as possible as they approached the figure.   The figure was dressed in a pair of black pants and hoodie. His face was hard to see with the mask covering his mouth. The only detail that was visible were his eyes that were glowing a solid blue. "What do you want?" the figure asked in a digitized voice.   "Um are you the guy we're looking for?" Comet Tail asked.   "That depends," the masked fighter let on as he stood up. "What does the name  Ronbou mean to you guys?"   "He's the one that sent us," Aria said.   "Then you're the guys that get this," the figure said as he threw a small bag at the group. Bulk was the one who managed to catch it. As soon the delivery was made, several Indavers appeared on the bridge with Eriedrone joining them. "Crud, I didn't think I'd be found out so quickly," the figure said as he started to run away.   "I knew if I followed one of your spies I'd run into you pests," Eriedrone said as he pointed his halberd. "Now prepare to atone for you crimes."   "Wait haha,what are you talking about," Sweet Leaf said nervously.   "I'm talking about how that rebellion spy led me right to the Kyurangers," Eriedrone said as he held up a wanted poster with all of the Kyurangers’ helmets on it.   "It was a set up!" Bulk yelled as they were soon surrounded. "Wait, if there's a bounty on our heads, then that means," Aria whispered to herself as she had a realization. "Lover boy." Before the others could react, Aria sprinted away from the others.   "Aria," Comet yelled before his view of his friend was blocked by a wall of troops. "Alright then, we've handled these goons, no problem before," he said as he pulled out his Kyutama and spun the globe to form the wolf image. The others did the same as they prepared their transformation.   "SAY ZA CHANGE!!!"   "Star Change!"   In an instant Comet, Bulk, and Sweet Leaf were transformed into their Kyuranger forms. The Indavers charged towards the group as the Rangers pulled out there Kyuza Weapons. "KYU CLAW!"   "KYU AXE!"   "KYU RAPIER!"   A large amount of Indavers swarmed the three. The Kyurangers all managed to fight them all back. Black performed a vertical strike onto one of the soldiers to push it into another soldier. He then took the black Kyutama out of his Saiza Blaster and put it into his Axe.   "GALAXY!"   "Aldebaran Impact!" Black yelled as a dark purple energy covered his axe blade. He held the weapon back before performing a mighty swing. A slash of energy went flying and started to spin in an arc like a boomerang. The energy slash hit a large amount of enemies at once. "You guys need to train more, YEAH!" Black yelled.   Green clashed blades with the soldiers. Their overwhelming numbers forced the ranger back. The green ranger was forced to jump back onto the bridge. "This is for that family we rescued," she said as she took her Kyutama and placed it into her weapon.   "GALAXY!"   A green energy took her sword’s blade. She held her free arm behind her back as she readied her attack. "Hamillion Impact!" she yelled as she thrusted her sword forward. Her blade transformed into a whip that stung all the Indavers that stood before her. Blue used his claw to to make wide slashes as he was quickly surrounded. He jumped up high to break free from the crowd and landed just a few feet away. "Oh yeah, I've been waiting to perform my own finisher," Blue said as he did as the others and placed his Kyutama into his claw.   "GALAXY!" The claw glowed in blue energy as he performed a large horizontal slash. "Lupulus Impact!" he yelled. The large slash turned into dozens of arks of energy that flew wildly all over the area. "Now that's how a real hero finishes a hoard of enemies."   Eriedrone was not happy with the fact that even with missing rangers the Kyurangers were still beating his forces. "You Kyurangers are so annoying," he announced as he advanced towards the Rangers.   "We aren't as weak as those goons you threw at us," Black said as he pointed his axe at the general. "You'd be wise not to underestimate the power of a Karō," Eriedrone said as he pointed the head of his halberd at the rangers. The Kyurangers rushed toward Eriedrone, but each attack they threw at him was countered. "Enough of this foolishness," he yelled. The bow-shaped head of his weapon grew into a full bow made of energy. As he aimed it he pulled back the bowstring as an arrow formed. The Karō then released the arrow that instantly bursted into multiple bolts that hit the three.   The three Rangers were thrown back after the blast. Lupus Blue's Saiza Blaster made a calling tone. It was Shou Ronbou who was calling. "Did you get the package?" he asked.   "Yeah but Eriedrone attacked us," Green said as she slowly got up.   "Also Flash and Aria gone and ditched us," Black added.   "Retreat for now," Shou said. "You’re too undermanned to fight someone that strong. You have the package and that's what matters."   After the attack they just survived, they decided to follow Shou's orders and pushed their Kyutama to the left.   "SAI ZA GO!"   Their Voyagers came flying by to give the Kyurangers the escape they needed. Eriedrone clutched his hand in anger. "I will destroy those Kyurangers."     Flash and Shifty both sneaked into a large warehouse. Flash didn't really know what this had to do with saving the planet. He assumed it had to do with Jark Matter's supplies or where the Malistrate stored all of his stolen wealth. Either way he knew that Shifty had a plan. "Ok, think you can scout ahead to make sure there's no danger?" Shifty asked.   Flash readied his Saiza Blaster. He looked left and right to check if the cost was clear. Flash then ran further into the room, ready to shoot with his blaster should the need arise. "There's no one here," he yelled back at Shifty.   "Just as I hoped," Shifty said from behind. As soon as Flash turned around to see Shifty, an electric shock overtook his body. The shock caused Flash to black out. The last image he saw was Shifty holding a stun-gun. "Hehe, easiest thirty-thousand credits I've ever earned. I hope for their sake your whole planet isn't as gullible as you are."     Flash didn't know how much time had passed before he eventually woke up. When he did, he discovered that he was chained up and hanging from the ceiling. The young man tried to struggle his way out to no avail. "Just my luck," he said as he let out a sigh.   "Hahahahaha!" a menacing laughter filled the room.  Flash turned to see the laughter was coming from a large lizard-like creature accompanied by Indavers. The lizard was the Malistrate of the planet Gamettsui. "Getting you may have cost me a little bit of cash, but the huge reward will get it back and then some."   "Wait, reward. That means Shifty was never interested in saving this planet," Flash realized in shock. "Don't be surprised," Gamettsui said as he wagged his finger. "I've seen stuff like this all the time. If the price is high enough anyone will betray their planet. And just one of Jark Matter's most wanted enemies will be quite the gain. And the other four will follow," he said as he rubbed his hands together.   "You're not going to get away with this. My friends will save me," Flash said.   "Oh I'm counting on it," Gamettsui said with a large grin on his face. Flash continued to try and escape his bonds, till he heard the sound of something breaking and immediately fell down. When Flash landed, he looked up at the ceiling to see a Kyu Slash stuck up there. "What the!?" the Malistrate yelled in confusion. "Make sure he doesn't get away."   The troops followed the orders and ran to secure their prisoner. Once the Indavers got close to Flash they were hit by yellow orbs of energy. Flash turned to the side to see Dorado Yellow running towards him. "Aria, I'm really glad you found me, but how?"   "I saw one of the wanted posters," the yellow ranger said as she freed Flash. "I should have known that con artist would have tried something like this. I would have done the same thing."   "So why didn't you?" Flash asked as he was soon freed.   "Cause as mean as I am, I wouldn't do something like that. I have my integrity. I mean Adagio gave me plenty of chances to stab her in the back and I didn't," Yellow said as she stood up. "Now hurry up and get ready to bust some heads."   Flash nodded as he threw the chains to the side and pulled out his Kyutama.   "SAI ZA CHANGE!"   "Star Change!"   Flash quickly transformed into his Leo Red form. "Let's Rocket," the red ranger said as he started to fight off the goons. The Indavers managed to force the two rangers outside. "Eat this," Red yelled as he pulled out the pieces of his Kyuza Weapon.   "KYU SWORD!"   In one swing Leo Red managed to send all of the soldiers flying. Yellow kicked one of the soldiers to the ground before grabbing his leg and swinging him into the other goons.   "You friends came sooner then I thought, not that I'm complaining," Gamettsui said as he came into view.   "Listen chubs, if anyone is going to make a profit off any of these idiots it's me," Yellow said as she pointed her blaster at the Malistrate.   "You're a feisty one," Gamettsui said. In one motion he swung his tail that extended out to smack Yellow into a wall.   Red rushed the monster with his sword, only for the weapon to be knocked out of his hands by Gamettsui's tail. When the sword was hit, it was stuck in the wall only a few inches from Yellow.   "Hey, watch it," Yellow yelled.   "Sorry but I don't have control over that," Red said as he shot off his blaster. The Malistrate stumbled back before he readied to swing his tail again. Before the extended tail could hit the red ranger Yellow came in to kick it out of the way.   "Care to give me a lift," Yellow said as she held out a chain that was laying on the side.   Red just nodded as he crouched down with his hands out. When the Malistrate recovered he saw the Yellow ranger jump high into the air. She flew over the the monster and performed a spin mid air. The chain she was holding fell around Gamettsui. When the ranger landed, both her and Red pulled the chain tight to bind the monster. "Not so fun on the reverse of this isn't it," Red said.   "Please, please, I'll pay you anything, just don't hurt me," Gamettsui begged. "Sorry, not interested," Yellow said as she and Red pushed the Kyutamas on there Saiza Blasters back two times.   "GALAXY!"   Energy started to form large spheres at the ends of their blasters. "All-Star Crush!" The two yelled as they pulled the trigger on their blasters. Gamettsui just kept begging for his life before he was destroyed in the crossfire of their attack in an explosion.   "I really appreciate you saving me Aria," Red said as he ran up to his team mate.   "Yeah well don't get any funny ideas. I just saved you cause we need you in the rebellion," Yellow said with a sour look under her helmet.   As the Rangers talked, they didn't notice the black box with Jark Matter’s logo was still intact in the Malstrum's remains. The box bursted, releasing a mass of purple smoke. Within seconds the Malstrum Gamettsui was revived and started to grow into a giant. "I've hit the big time now," he announced.   "Great, that's just what we need. The Malstrum grow giant when we defeat them," Yellow complained. "Don't worry, we know what to do now," Red said as he held up his Saiza Blaster. "Guys we have a big problem down here."   "We're on our way Flash," Comet Tail's voice said from the communicator. After that Leo Red and Dorado Yellow pushed their Kyutama to the side to summon their ships. "SAI ZA GO!"   "LEO VOYAGER!"   "DORADO VOYAGER!" As the giant Kyutama formed around the two, their voyagers flew down from the sky along with the Chameleon, Torus, and Lupus Voyagers. Once the Kyutama were docked, the five ships flew straight for Gamettsui and the large needle in the middle of the city. "Alright guys, not only are we going to stop this guy, but also we're going to save this planet once and for all," Red said through the comm link with the other Voyagers.   "Right," the others said as they all pushed there Kyutama to activate the computation.   "SAI ZA DOCKING!"   The five voyagers took their position like last time. The Swordfish and Chameleon formed the arms, the Bull and Wolf formed the legs, and The Lion formed the head and torso. "KYURENOH!!"   "Alright, time to pay, creep," Red yelled as the giant robot swung its sword arm.   "Hehe nice quip Flash," Blue added as KyurenOh performed a punch.   "Focus boys, this guy is stronger then the guy we fought last time," Green said to the others.   "I still owe you for what you did to me," Gamettsui said as he pulled out blaster and shot bolts of energy at the robot. Each off the bolts ended up hitting the spheres on KyurenOh's body that caused the limbs to break apart.   "Dang it, this guy is smarter than he looks. He knew where to hit us so we'd fall apart," Blue said as a layout of KyurenOh appeared on his screen.   "Then we'll just have to hit harder," Red said as he pushed his Kyutama again.   "That how I roll, YEAH!" Black added.   "SAI ZA DOCKING!"   The voyagers combined again but this time Green's and Yellow's Voyagers formed the legs and Blue's and Black's formed the arms.   KYURENOH!!   Before The monster had a chance to fire again, KyurenOh punched the blaster out of his hand. The giant robot then punched the Malistrate repeatedly and forced him back. "You're going to pay for all the lives you ruined in full," Red said as he pushed his Kyutama back twice.   "SUPER GALAXY!"   Each one of the large Kyutama started to glow. After the five pulled the trigger, the Kyutama fired large blasts of colored energy at the monster, destroying it once and for all.   "We did it guys," Green said happily.   "It's not over yet," Yellow added as she pointed to the needle. "No problem," Black said. The giant robot slowly walked towards the large tower. The robot grabbed onto the Needle with both its arms before lifting it up out of the ground. The robot then turned around and threw the Needle far into the sky.   "Take it in guys, we just saved our first planet," Red said as he layed back in his chair.   "This is so awesome," Blue followed.   "Now everyone doesn't need to worry about their planet being destroyed," Green added.   "How does it feel to do some good Aria?" Black asked.   "Shut up," Yellow said.     When the battle was over the five rangers returned to the ORION. The teenagers were very tired from their off-world trip. When they got to the brigade Shou Ronbou was waiting for them. Flash was the first of the Rangers he looked at. "Flash, that was rather irresponsible of you to just go off on your own," Shou said.   "I know and I'm sorry. I let that con artist take advantage of me and got captured because of it," Flash said as he tilted his head down.   "Yes, you have a kind heart Flash but people will try to take advantage of that. I hope you learned somethings from all this." Shou said as he crossed his arms. "The good new is you not only retrieved the package but also freed this planet."   "Speaking of the package, what is this thing?" Bulk said as he threw the bag onto the center table.   "Behold," Shou said as he opened the bag and poured the contents onto the table. The bag was filled with Kyutama in all kinds of colors.   "More Kyutama!" the five said at the same time.   "Yes but these Kyutama won't transform others into Kyurangers. Using these in your Saiza Blasters will provide you with even more powers," Shou explained, holding one of the blue Kyutama up.   "Well this was a fun adventure," Aria said as she crashed on a couch. "I am so wiped from saving Flash's butt."   "Hehe yeah," Flash replied as he took a soda from a wall panel. "How long are you going to hold that over me?"   "Eh, depends," Aria said as she swiped the soda from Flash and took a sip from it.   "So are all our missions going to be like this?" Sweet Leaf asked.   "Who knows," Bulk answered as they all looked out the window into space.     It was night in the small town of Canterlot. The streets were quiet with the exception of two teenagers exiting the movie theater. The boy had navy hair, suspenders and thick glasses while the girl had a long dress with her purple hair tied in twin tails.   "That movie was great. I never thought a movie based on the Blast Master comics would be so amazing," the boy said.   "I liked it too, even though I never read any of the comics," the girl replied.   All of a sudden the pair heard a noise from the alley they were passing. The two stopped to see what it was. The boy slowly walked forward only to see a Tsuyoindaver waiting for him. "Hehehe looks like it's past your curfew," the monster said as he raised his club. Before he could do anything however a long scorpion like tail wrapped around the Tsuyoindaver and pulled him back into the darkness. The two teenagers couldn't see anything but heard fighting going on. After a few moments another figure walked out still hidden by the shadows. The only thing the two could make out was that he was wearing similar armor to the Kyurangers.   "Thanks a lot," the boy said a little nervously.The figure didn't say a word and just nodded before sliding back into the shadows.   "Oh my goodness, is that a new Kyuranger?" the girl asked.   "I don't know, but people need to know about this," the boy replied as he pulled out his phone.   To be continued
