“So this part of the Lupin collection can open portals to other realms? That sounds dangerous” Umika asked as she looked at the book in the cafe as Kogure sipped his tea after explaining the newest part of the lupin collection he was sending them after. Kairi began to laugh a little bit, he seemed unfazed by the newest collection’s ability but Umika seemed rightfully concerned and Tomma frowned with annoyance at Kairi’s laughter. Umika snapped “Alright what’s so funny!?”
Kairi smiled as he stopped laughing “It’s another piece of the collection and you’re saying it sounds dangerous? News Flash they’re all dangerous” he said as the other two smiled “But regardless we’re getting it!” he pulled out his Vs Charger “We’re not giving up are we?”
“I’m in for good” Tomma growled as he then smiled too “We’re not going to let some Gangler get in our way!”
“Oh I’d be careful” Kogure said as he finished his tea “Just remember Jop Jumper is not to be underestimated and his Jump Dagger is a dangerous part of the Lupin Collection” he smiled gently and walked out.
“Let’s get going we’ve got a date with one Jop Jumper!” Kairi said as Umika and Tomma nodded and the three headed out in their disguises “Let’s hunt down this Gangler creep!”

Tsukasa sighed as she sat at her desk and looked at the monitor “It’s been a long day” she said as she checked the clock which read 4:30pm and thought about her soft toy collection at home “I can’t wait…”
“Can’t wait for what?!” Commander Hilltop asked as he walked in with Jim Carter and smiled as he held up a box of treats “Anyone up for a…” an alert suddenly went off and he turned to Jim “What is it?!”
“Gangler detected!” Jim reported as the members of Patranger rose to their feet.
“Wherever a Gangler is…those thieves won’t be too far away! Let’s move out!” Keiichiro declared as they ran out to their patrol car and their car’s sirens roared to life “This time Lupin Red you’re mine!”
However back in command Jim screamed in horror “I was wrong….It’s not one Gangler......I’m detecting seven of them!” he then focused his scan and screamed "Oh no! OH NO! OH NO! Their powers are too much! You have to call them back!"
Hilltop nodded and said into the communication system "Keiichiro, Sakuya, Tsukasa pull back!" but their message went unnoticed by the Patrangers "Oh no...they'll be killed!" he tried again "Pull back! Damn it! That's an order!" still his orders weren't noticed and he slammed his fist into the console "Damn it all! Keiichiro! The enemy is too strong! If you go there you'll die!"
Jim Carter mumbled "It's too late...isn't it?"
Hilltop had tears streaming from his eyes, the Ganglers had already taken friends of his and he mumbled "Yeah...it's too late"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Well Jop Jump…If you’re travels have been successful…I trust you found us a world we can conquer and fulfil, Dogranio Yaboon's request…we’ll run the Ganglers as the seven deadly sins!” the head Gangler said as he smirked and began laughing “What does it matter what world we conquer!? So long as we conquer one and besides we only need one gangler, me and my collection piece is unrivalled! With the rest of you...no one will stand a chance against us!”
“Be that as it may working together no ranger should be a match for us!” another of the ganglers pointed out “Lupin…Pat…who cares?! Let’s just beat them?!”
“We beat them…then there’s about a dozen other teams that could take us down…Deka Ranger, Time Ranger, Shinkenger or take your pick!” Jop Jump pointed out “But there are worlds undefended by the forces of sentai or rangers” she said as she pulled out photos each showing different worlds “There’s even worlds with more powerful defenders but the one I picked is defended by 6 or 7 ponies going on about friendship! How can Friendship stop us?!”
“You’re about to find out!” Lupin Red shouted as he jumped out “We won’t let you jump to another world!”
“What!? Stop them!” Pat Red shouted as the two ranger teams emerged “You are all under arrest”
“Lupin and Pat rangers…oh whatever shall we do?” the head Gangler said in a mocking tone “We never considered you fools a problem” he smirked and drew his sword “I suppose I should introduce myself…I’m the head of the Gangler group known as The Seven deadly sins. Jop Jumper here is the sin of greed and I’m the head sin known as Pride!” he flexed his muscles “But you can call me Prox Pride!” he slashed his sword down in a great arc of power and an energy streak coursed out…it narrowly avoided Pat Green but it hit a building behind him causing it to crumble “Now behold the power of my piece of the Lupin Collection! TIME CORRECTION!”
The rangers watched in horror as time reversed itself, the wave went back to the sword, then the energy fired back out and this time the wave hit Pat Green “ARGGGGHHH!” he screamed as he was knocked to the floor, his suit torn by the wave and the building was hit anyway “Just a glancing blow!” Green said as he struggled to his feet but it was clear he was badly hurt by the wave.
“Well glancing or not…we have to go” Prox said as the group of Ganglers disappeared into a portal.
Lupin Red called out "We can't let them get away, Lupin Rangers! Run for the portal!" all three Lupin Rangers charged forward desperate to make it to the portal.
"As much as I don't want to agree...Lupin Red is right! Pat Rangers jump for it!" the three Pat Rangers then charged forward with hands out stretched. Lupin Red and Pat Red were running side by side with their hands out stretched as the portal began to pulse with energy, indicating it was going to close but the rangers kept running. Pink and Yellow ran side by side and looked at each other as they were desperate to beat the other. Blue and Green elbowed each other but all six rangers made it to the portal.
Then out of the shadows two figures arrived on the scene "We're too late!" one declared as the portal closed "What do we do now?!"
"Pray" the second one answered as sirens could be heard in the distance.

Twilight sighed as she sat on a park bench reading a book, she could hardly believe that not two days had passed since Fluttershy had done the impossible and reformed Discord. It still amazed her that Fluttershy could do what none but Celestia considered possible. Suddenly as she looked up at the sky a bright flash filled the sky, then as the flash cleared she saw seven streaks of light fly off in different directions and she paused but then six more. Two seemed to head for the capital city of Canterlot. One she saw was heading for Sweet Apple Acres, it looked like it'd land on the outskirts at least and another two headed for the centre of Ponyville but at the last minute separated landing in different places “What the!?” she gasped as one streak headed for her. She focused her magic and raised a shield but the streak crashed in front of her. She looked down and saw a strange pony in bright red Spandex and a cape…he seemed to be disoriented “Are you okay?” she asked giving him a nervous poke with her hoof.
“Yeah….I…I have hooves?!” he said, as the pony looked at his fore hooves, he clearly seemed a bit scared and he looked at her “I…I this isn’t right?!” he then looked around, he looked up, then at the ground and asked “Umika?! Tomma!?” he seemed to be getting agitated and he turned to Twilight “Where are my friends?! Did you see where my friends landed?!” he paused as he then noticed “You’re a purple horse!”
“Pony and yes, I’am purple...thou thinking about it I suppose it's more of a violet colour!” Twilight said slightly annoyed as she tapped her hoof in annoyance as she then pointed out what seemed obvious “But then again you’re a pony too!”
“I….I’m not a pony! I’m a human!” Kairi said as he looked around again “Where are we?! Is this a park?! Why are you purple!? Wait, why do you have a horn!? And wait do I have a horn!?”
“What’s a human?!” Twilight asked lost as she hoped he’d calm down so she could answer his questions “Right first we are in Ponyville Park, second I was born purple, third I’m a unicorn and fourth no you’re a Pegasus!”
Kairi noticed the wings and smiled “Cool….so I can fly?”
“No you can crash and change your name…of course you can fly…unless you’re anything like Scootaloo” Twilight said as she helped him to the library "So what happened?! Why were you glowing and what's with the goofy spandex!?"
"Not Spandex!" Kairi pointed out
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“WOW! He fell hard” Scootaloo said as the CMC pulled the knocked out body of Pat ranger green into their tree house “Do you think he’s okay?” she asked as she poked him gently on the side but he grunted in pain “He’s hurt?!”
“I suppose a fall from orbit may do that to a pony….especially an Earth pony” Applebloom said as she gave him a poke too “Thou why he’s wearing Spandex?” she pulled out a glass of water "And a goofy helmet...it doesn't make it easy to give him water"
“Maybe he’s a daredevil?!” Sweetie Belle offered but the CMC shook their heads “What?! He's wearing a costume and it looks like it maybe fire proof...and really what kind of non Pegasus pony would be silly enough to try launching themselves into the air without wings or a means to slow their fall?"
"Us" Scootaloo offered lamely.
“Sweetie what sort of Daredevil falls from the sky and doesn’t become puree?” Applebloom pointed out as she poked his injury “This injury wasn’t caused by the fall either…it’s like he was slashed....with a blade or something” she then added “I’ve seen ma fair share of crushing injuries and this ain't one” she then saw the other CMC’s faces and said “GROAN! Big mac and Applejack kick trees for a living…do ya really think we sometimes don’t end up under the tree ourselves?!”
“No I suppose that does make sense” Scootaloo said as she then had a thought “We’d better get some pony….if he is as hurt as you say he is Applebloom then we should get somepony like Nurse Redheart or Zecora?!”
“That won't be necessary” a majestic voice said from the door and in walked Luna who smiled down at the ponies within the room but her look seemed less reassured, she looked a tiny bit concerned, it was like the smile was for her own benefit rather than the Cutie Mark Crusaders “The guards and I will be taking him to Canterlot to be questioned”
“But he’s hurt, Princess! He should see a doctor first!” Sweetie Belle protested however the look the filly received from the princess told her that this wasn’t up for debate “But if you think it’s for the best”
“I’m sorry girls but these ponies are intruders to our world and they could be very dangerous” Luna said with a serious expression on her face “Now I suspect the pony before us, once he wakes, will mean us, no harm but we can’t take the risk that he could be more dangerous than he appears and it clear, he controls quite a lot of power” once that was done, the guards moved in and gently removed Sakuya but the CMC seemed unhappy with the decision as all three thought a doctor or nurse was needed and not armed guards “Relax girls….we’ll ensure he is seen to but this is for your own safety”
“Yes princess” the girls said as Luna left but all three looked upset as she left and more than one was thinking of doing something reckless.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“argh my head” Tomma said as he woke up, his head was in a lot of pain, he wasn’t badly hurt but the fall had done a number on his head. He looked around as he felt someone a bit too close, he blinked as he turned and found himself staring into a pair of bright blue eyes “Aahhhhh”
“AHHHHH yourself” Pinkie said as she jumped up and down “WOW! You know how to make an entrance…I mean there I was walking to Fluttershy’s when you fell out of the sky and you were so bright! You looked like a really bright firefly and you made a big crater in front of me” she smiled as Tomma tried to comprehend, well, Pinkie and like most was failing miserably as her energy made his head spin. Pinkie was jumping up and down as she explained everything “And then I was like….wow….and then I was like oh my and then I said to myself that I should…”
“Pinkie…give him a moment” Fluttershy said walking out from her kitchen as Tomma looked at the Pegasus with confusion “I’m sorry…Pinkie can be a little much for someponies”
“Someponies?!” Tomma asked about to ask what the heck was going on but Pinkie nodded eagerly.
“Yeah! But I’m just so excited to meet glowy pony!” she said excitedly “How’d you glow!? And why are you wearing Spandex!? Are you a stuntpony!? Ooooo are you good at stunts!? I mean that stunt didn’t seem to go to plan! Are you….”
“I’m not a pony!” Tomma snapped as he tried to stand up onto his feet but he hadn’t noticed he’d been turned into a pony and thus he fell forward “Okay…I am a pony but I can’t glow, I’m not a stuntpony and this isn’t spandex!”
“Looks like Spandex” Fluttershy said gently as she dipped a ladle into a soup pot and served up some soup “I mean it’s okay if it isn’t but it does look like blue and black spandex” she offered him the soup but Tomma shook his head and she didn't offer again.
“Yeah and it looks super…neat!” Pinkie said as she jumped up and down “Where can I get not Spandex like that because it’s awesome! It's like Wonderbolt stuff! I bet Dashie would love it!” she then had an idea "And if I could get some like it...I could be like a dark avenger of the night who is like a...a..a.a...a...batmare!"
“Um thanks” Tomma said as he asked “Where the heck am I?! Why are you two talking ponies and why do you have wings?!” he looked at the two more confused than ever and then added “For that matter why am I a talking pony!?” he then looked back and felt his heart drop out of his chest "I have wings....why do I have wings?! What the heck am I doing here!?"
“That’s a good question!” Applejack said from the door followed by Rainbow Dash with a bound pony in a yellow outfit and it was Umika who seemed strangely calm with the situation “Ya fall from the sky and are wearing silly looking spandex! And for that matter how the heck did two pegasie fall from the sky! Ya have wings and unlike Scootaloo you are fully grown ponies…ya shouldn’t have fallen from the sky at all!”
"Unless you are really really weak flyers" Rainbow Dash joked.
“We’re not ponies” Umika said sounding slightly annoyed but she sighed “We’re humans and these costumes are our sentai powers. We’re part of a team known as the Lupin Rangers! Our goal is to….” She paused as Tomma shook his head and she stopped “Well we’re after parts of the Lupin Collection, which a group called the ganglers have and well…we followed 7 of them into a portal with another team of rangers called the Pat Rangers”
“So these Pat Rangers are your friends?” Rainbow asked but Tomma and Umika shook their heads slowly as Rainbow added “But you’re both rangers right?”
“Yeah…but Pat rangers are the police and we’re thieves” Tomma said as he looked away “But we don’t have a choice…”
“You always have a choice” Fluttershy said hopefully but then she saw the way Tomma shook in place “Unless…the choice is unthinkable?”
“Yeah...you could say that” Umika said sadly as she looked away “We wish there was a way we could do things by legal methods but if we do…then….it just isn’t possible!”
“If the ganglers have come here…they must believe this world will be easy pickings” Tomma said as he sighed and gave his new wings a light flap “Like our world is to them…you’ve got to inform your world’s greatest defenders!”
“Why?” Pinkie asked “Telling ourselves would be pretty pointless”
“Wait…so…you four are this world’s best line of defence?!” Umika gasped as she felt her hope melt away.
“Well Pinkie maybe exaggerating but we’ve stopped one Nightmare Alicorn, one chaos spirit, an army of changelings and one returning king of evil who could become smoke” Applejack said as Umika and Tomma nodded trying to understand what they’d just been told “And it’s not just 4 of us…it’s 6 of us!”
"Plus one baby dragon" Pinkie added
“No offence but 6 ponies plus one baby dragon, do not stand a chance against the Ganglers” Tomma sighed as he looked at his front hooves “And we may also be in trouble…we’re use to fighting as humans against those creeps and now we're ponies...it'll take us a long time to learn how to fight in these bodies” he paused as Umika nodded "We've got to face reality...without a plan or something we're doomed"
“Not quite doomed yet...no point giving up till the fight is over!” Twilight said as she walked in followed by Rarity, Spike and Kairi who was now demorphed “Everyone this is Kairi” Kairi’s pony form was a light red Pegasus stallion with a blonde mane and his cutie mark was a black top hat with a gold V on it “And he’s the red Lupin Ranger?”
“Kairi!?” Umika gasped “Why did you demorph!?”
“Didn’t have a choice” Kairi said as he walked to his friends “She wouldn’t stop insisting! If I hadn’t demorphed then she’d have talked me to death about all the risks of not having my injuries seen to”
“So now that we’re all together…why don’t you answer one thing?!” Rarity asked giving the three new comers a wary look as Umika and Tomma powered down. It revealed a Umika, who was a short Pegasus mare with gentle yellow coat and light reddish brown mane, her cutie mark was of a cape with the same V through it. Tomma was a gentle blue with a jet black mane a mask cutie mark snaking round the V “Why should we trust you and inform Celestia”
“Wait! Why wouldn’t we tell Celestia!?” Rainbow Dash asked as she hovered over to the three Lupinrangers “I mean even if these three are trustworthy…wouldn’t it be important to inform her!?”
“Well Twilight and I thought so too but Kairi seemed against the whole idea of telling the authorities” Rarity explained as she looked unsure of the whole thing, it seemed Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Twilight seemed unsure of this but Applejack, Pinkie and Fluttershy smiled as they seemed to believe the Lupin rangers “I mean I suppose they have the right to explain why?”
“Kairi” Tomma said sadly “Please…don’t…this is our promise!”
“I agree!” Umika added “We can’t!”
“But we have to” Kairi said sadly “We come from a place called Japan in our world…there the Ganglers have become a serious problem…we were all living our lives when it happened” he paused and gulped “Now to keep a long story short…a single Gangler killed someone we each held close. We were then told by a representative of The Lupin Estate about the Lupin Collection that could restore our loved ones to us”
There was a horrible silence that followed the story that no pony desired to break but finally Rarity said “I’m so sorry”
“The reason we don’t trust government or law enforcement is because if they had done more…maybe our loved ones wouldn’t have had to die!” Tomma said bitterly and then added “It may sound harsh but our world has had defenders called the Super Sentai for over 40 years! There are many teams and none of them did anything about the Ganglers!” he then paused "Also many of them were secret government organisations so the excuses are few and far between"
“So we’re better off dealing with this on our own” Umika said sadly.
“We can’t allow that” Twilight said as she looked at the other mane 6 and they all nodded “We’ll help you and we’re not taking no for an answer!”
Spike yelled "Yeah! Just one thing...what happened to those Pat Rangers you mentioned, Kairi?"
