=LAST TIME!= Secchan screamed, sliding past the camera in the base before a crash went off and he tumbled over =Ohh~= he rapidly shook his head before taking flight =A World based on races outran Sonic! To get his speed back, he became a new Zenkaiger with a giant mode like the Kikainoid members of the team, tune!= he gawked =That doesn't seem like logic, tune! But then again Sentai is weird like that, tune!=
"AYANE MAELSTROM SAKURAI!"
"BWAH!" Kaito yelped, and hit Flash on the side making him falling out of bed onto Vroon.
"Snrt?!" Vroon stood up, sending Flash off and onto Juran, who yelped and waved an arm that hit Gaon in the gut, causing him to gag and kick, hitting Sonic's cot and sending him smacking face-first into the ceiling.
"Ah…What is going on?" Juran groaned.
"Why'd you hit me?" Gaon complained as Sonic grunted, trying to get his head out of the ceiling, "Ah! Sonic-kun is stuck!"
"What was that scream?" Amy asked, looking around with wide eyes as Magine hugged her while shivering like a leaf.
"Ohh…" Yatsude cringed, "That is a scream I haven't heard since Kaito, Flash and Roll were kids."
"I didn't do it!" Kaito's voice panicked.
"It's a good thing he's so good at making the impossible possible, or I would worry more," Magine muttered.
"Wait, who screamed?" Amy asked.
"That…was Skye," Yatsude replied.
"Ite-ite-ite-ite-ite…" Ayane whimpered as Skye brought her through a secret tunnel by the stairs, followed by a sleepy Haseo and a worried Roll carrying said Haseo.
"What happened!?" Kaito shouted, running down while still in his PJ's with the Geartlinger in hand.
"Did Some one attacked?!" Flash came in a smoke in his PJ's with his sword in his hand.
=Doesn't look good, tune= Secchan noted as the others came down.
"Ayane, do you have something to tell Amelia?" Skye asked.
"Who?" Kaito blinked as he was given a hoodie to put on at least.
"He means me," Amy replied, "...Wait. What did Ayane do involving me?"
"Your full name is Amelia?" Flash asked as the HedgeLynx mumbled something.
"Say it louder for her to hear," Skye ordered, giving a tug on the grasped ear.
"Ah!" Ayane yelped, "Mmmm~ I-I…" she mumbled.
"Oof…The ear pull," Kaito cringed, his hand going to his ear as a phantom pain lanced through it, "Ayane must of did a big no-no to earn that."
"Oh... Did she." Flash muttered seeing that bit his toon had disappointment init."...Amy, are you missing anything?"
"We share a room with Magine," Amy pointed out, "I think I saw my hairbrush last week." she tapped her cheek in thought, "...Did she do something with my hairbrush?"
"Ayane…" Skye warned.
"Mmm…I-I took it, b-but I was trying to make it better and…" Ayane began before Skye moved his thumb and made her body tense up in pain, "Gh!"
"Something tells me this is more than just my hairbrush?" Amy blinked.
"Considering how difficult it seems, I'll have to say it," Skye frowned at Ayane, "She blew it up."
"...Huh?"
"I-I didn't mean t-to," Ayane mumbled.
"I'm guessing she wanted to improve it and she did something that caused what she was putting into it to blow up?" Flash guessed.
"Yes," Skye confirmed before giving Amy an apologetic look, "I'll make sure to pay for a replacement, Amelia. And as for you…" he frowned at Ayane, "You are grounded, missy. No working on any Geartlashers, no EX Gears, no improving anything for three days. And your allowance is going to be used to pay for the replacement brush for her."
"Um, you don't have to do that. It was…"
"It was your property that Ayane took without permission and then destroyed," Skye stated, "I'd be more forgiving if she had simply made a 3D print of it and gave the original back the same day, but she did not." he looked at Kaito and Flash, "Kaito, Flash, I'm trusting both of you with her while I lock down everything in her room until her grounding is over with."
"Okay…" Kaito nodded.
"...You're not as excited as I imagined…"
"Well…I can't ruin the mood with my wanting to befriend her. That can still happen, but I'm not making it part of your punishment. What do you take me for?"
"...and I'm gonna see and check on her that she won't escape and run to the lab" Flash told." Also I'm not found of her taking things without permission, so I'm gonna be extra vigilant."
"Attaboys," Skye nodded, releasing Ayane's ear before quickly getting into the secret entrance and closing it behind him followed by locks clicking and an alarm being set going off on the other side.
"...Wait. I thought when someone is grounded, they're meant to stay in their room," Vroon tilted his head.
"Well obviously that wouldn't work on someone who only wants to be in their room where all their gadgets and dangerous science stuff is," Juran argued, the HedgeLynx quickly hiding behind Roll, "Sides, maybe this will help her get out of her shell a little."
"So…Ayane being grounded means she has to go outside?" Magine tilted her head.
"That seems right. But still, it's not that bad. The brush was getting old," Amy noted, "What were you even trying to put into it?"
"A small heating system to help with d-drying quills after a shower or bath," Ayane replied.
"Oh! That sounds neat!" Amy beamed, "And a lot of help with helping them dry faster, too!"
"Well gonna have to wait on that project," Sonic muttered, "'Cause she goofed up bad~" he teased.
"Mmm…" Ayane whimpered as Roll gave the hedgehog a deadpan look.
"What? She did. You act like I'm not allowed to treat her like the slightly jerky person she is," Sonic pouted.
"Well maybe if we get her to become our friend, we'll find she's really nice," Kaito offered, "She's gone through a lot of effort to help some of us, so maybe we can turn this from a punishment into a good thing."
"Hmm…I do think there is one thing we could do," Flash noted, looking at the paper.
"Eh?" everyone looked to him.
"Ah! No~! Not a museum~!" Kaito exclaimed, holding onto the frame as Juran and Sonic grunted, pulling at his feet, "Anything but that, Yachan, Flash!"
"You need more education," Yatsude argued, "And this is a brand new one that just opened recently, so it might be something you haven't seen in a museum before!"
"Yeah, Beside I love to go to museums"Flash told." I really like to learn about things. Especially history and archiology."
"It feels like Kaito-san is the one getting the punishment," Roll whispered to Haseo.
"Uhn," Haseo nodded, "Ano..Yatsude-san? Flash Onni-chan? What...kind of museum are we heading to exactly?"
"Hmm…Something about stones or gems…" she muttered.
"I think we established that the genius gene is rare in this family…" Sonic muttered.
"AH! He escaped and is climbing!" Juran panicked as Kaito climbed up a street light with little issue like some kind of monkey.
"Oh not again," Flash groaned, "Haseo-chan, get the normal."
"So is the super human body thing…normal?" Sonic asked.
"I think nothing about Kaito is normal," Amy muttered, "I don't think that even you have gotten up after the amount of punishment he's taken."
"No kidding…" Sonic muttered, "And I've gotten plenty of earfuls before from Sal…"
"What's the normal Haseo is supposed to get?" Vroon asked as Haseo dug around his white tail before pulling out a blue sniper gun, aimed it at Kaito, and pulled the trigger before a tranquilizer dart hit him in the behind.
"Gh!? Ah…" Kaito groaned before he fell off and landed in Gaon's arms.
"He'll be fine by the time we get there," Flash assured as he patted Haseo's head, "But fair warning, he gets huggy when tranqed."
"Very…" Haseo muttered.
"This is my responsibility alone to burden~" Gaon declared with rays of sunshine around him.
"I could carry…" Vroon began.
"I said this is mine to burden!" Gaon snapped at Vroon, making him jump.
"Ahh! G-gomen!"
"We need to have a talk to the kid about how he treats them like woodland critters…" Juran muttered to Magine.
"Wholeheartedly agree…" she muttered.
"Come on. Let's go to the museum," Roll smiled as she picked up Ayane, who had been trying to crawl away without notice, and walked off.
"Oh this should be fun! I can't wait to see how your sister hides in a public museum," Sonic chuckled.
"Mmm…" Ayane pouted at that.
"Ahh…sweet Chaos I'm bored…" a Mobian lemur yawned as she rested on a bench outside a large yet decent sized museum building.
Like with any Mobian she stood a slight bit shorter than the average Humans and Kikainoids, she had white fur, with gray fur around her muzzle, ears and forming rings along her long lemur tail. Dressed in a short sleeved black bodysuit, with dark orange stripes on the side, with an amber sleeveless top, amber and black hi-tops, and her hands wrapped in black sports tape to form fingerless gloves with amber sports tape around her wrists, and dark orange padding on the back of her hands.
"Seriously…you'd think with all the Kikanoids and robot attacks, something exciting would happen..but nope…." the lemur sighed as she looked up at the sky, "Barely anything happens here…outside of finding jewels for Jewel of course…" she puffed up her cheeks as she looked at an orange phone in her tail, "And no new vids since that lynx girl's. And boy was Roll acting weird when that new ninja mech in the video before that. And Flash wasn't there but a new zenkaiger. Seriously, I…"
"I think this is the place."
"Hmm?" the lemur blinked, looking to the side to see Kaito's and Flash's group approaching the museum, her eyes widening a bit when she saw Roll, 'No way…'
"Can you put me down?" Kaito asked, being carried by Juran now over his shoulder…while tied up.
"Are you gonna try to climb the nearest post?"
"...Maybe…"
"Then no," Juran replied.
"It was my turn to carry him, you old hunk of rust…" Gaon complained.
"Mmm…" Ayane whimpered, in the same precariment as Kaito but held over Amy's shoulder.
"Are you sure we need to keep her tied up?" Amy asked.
"She tends to run away when she gets grounded, so yes," Flash replied.
"Why are you so s-s-strong…?" Ayane mumbled.
"I am a girl of many abilities," Amy smiled.
"Well least w-" Roll began.
"HEY~! ROLL~!"
"Hmm?" Roll blinked before something flew over the group, "?!"
"Hey! Long time n-" the lemur began, looking back at them to wave...before she ended up crashing into a lightpost, "Oof! I...did not…see that there…" she groaned as she slid down.
"Eh? …Tangle-chan?" Roll pondered.
"Tangle-neechan?" Haseo tilted his head.
"Hm? You know what just hit that lightpost?" Flash asked blinking twice as the lemur slowly got up and shook her head quickly to clear out the proverbial cobwebs.
"Ooh…Yeah, really be careful of lightposts here…they're not made of wood like in Spiral Hill Zone," she groaned before Roll glomped her.
"Tangle-chan!" Roll cheered, "Oh, it's been so long!"
"Huh, wh-AHH! ROLLY!" Tangle beamed as she returned the hug, "OH, IT'S BEEN SO LONG~!"
"I think they do," Magine noted to Flash as the two ended their hug.
"Minna, this is my friend Tangle," Roll introduced, "Tangle-chan, these are Vroon-san, Gaon-san, Magine-chan, Juran-san, Sonic-san, Amy-chan, Kaito and Flash onni-chan."
"Oh yeah~You were the ghost in that old guy's house, weren't you?" Tangle recalled, her tail pointing at Kaito.
"Oh they remember me, don't they?" Kaito blinked at that, "Maybe I shouldn't have done so many pranks…"
"They had a drawing of you they'd show around!" Tangle grinned, "It was so silly looking! Like a round body and noodles for limbs with a funny face!" she looked at flash then." And you would be the one who pranked roll that time." She said her tail pointing at Flash.
"Yup, and it was worth it." Flash stated proudly. Not seeing roll giving a annoying look as she muttered something quietly.
"Man, Rolly talked alot about you two especially flash since they told me you were cute that time."
she looked around the group before grinning and her tail snapped out, scooped up Haseo, and pulled him into a big hug from her, "Oh, you are just as huggable as ever, Haseo!"
"Mmm-hmm-mmh!" Haseo muffled out.
"Oh, she's a hugger!" Gaon beamed as Haseo managed to get out of the hug as she hopped over to Amy….with Ayane hiding behind her.
"Hiya! I'm Tangle!" Tangle greeted before blinking twice, "Ohh, ya got grounded again, didn't ya?"
"Mmm…Y-You jerk…"
"Hah? You're not still mad about the volcano, are you? I said I was sorry and even brought ya strawberries!"
"I don't think this one follows all the same rules." Flash muttered, pointing to Ayane.
"Oh…eh. I'm sure she'll blossom once she's gotten used to people more!"
"That seems like a far off dream…"
"Hey!" Ayane complained.
"Do you want to socialize?" Juran argued.
"No…but n-no need to be rude!"
"You have no problem being rude…" Vroon pointed out.
"And pushy…" Magine deadpanned.
"Mmm~"
"Guess she couldn't grab a mascot outfit in time before her groundin'?" Tangle asked.
"Hai/Yup" Roll, Haseo and Flash nodded.
"Ah…So whatcha up to?" Tangle asked.
"We heard about a new museum opening and aunty Yachan suggested we go to it," Flash explained.
"Mmm~" Kaito whined.
"He doesn't like learning unless it's done in an unexpected fun way," Roll whispered.
"New mu-Oh! That's Jewel's museum!" Tangle beamed.
"Wait, let me guess…another friend?" Juran asked Roll.
"I've never met her in person," Roll replied, "Just mentions from Tangle-chan." her tail wagged, "But this does mean I get to meet her now!"
"This trip is slowly becoming the best day ever~" Gaon cheered.
"On the one hand, new friends zenkai!" Kaito beamed before pouting, "But it's still a museum…"
"Just go with it cuz..." Flash deadpanned
"Think you can give us a tour, little lady?" Juran asked.
"Sure! I'm sure Jewel will be okay with it!" Tangle beamed as her tail stood up and pointed to the museum, "Everyone wanting to see the museum, follow me~!"
"That is one flexible tail," Flash noted.
"I learned how to do some things with my tail from her when we were younger," Roll giggled as she followed after the lemur.
"Huh….neat," Flash noted as he and the other began to follow.
"Mmm…I'm honestly hoping for a Tojitendo attack…" Kaito muttered.
"You fools!" Boccowaus snapped, slamming his hand and sending all his generals and officers flying up and eventually falling down, "How are you all losing to idiots, teenagers, and low class scum!?" he slammed his fist a few more making them all bounce around against their will.
"We…have…been…trying to…develop…" Ijirude tried to speak.
"A…counter…measure-!" Eggman grunted.
"But…we…we…need…time!" Ijirude finished.
"And what of the rest of you!? What feeble excuse do you have for failing to destroy the Zenkaigers!? You call yourselves amazing fighters and warriors…but so far I've seen you all fall to an idiot teenager in white…by kicking you in the lugnuts! Some even multiple times in it!"
"Those kids plays dirty…" Hood cringed.
"Very much so…" Drago muttered, his snout wrapped up in bandages.
"Didn't you pride yourselves on being the evil ones?! Why are you surprised by dirty tactics?"
"We…we don't expect them from the good guys…" Tundra muttered.
"What nonsense is that?! This is a battle! You take the advantage wherever it comes! How are these idiots doing what you're supposed to, but better?!"
"You know, he makes an oddly good point…" Eggman muttered.
"With all due respect, my lord…" Lien-Da grunted as she got up, "None of us expected them getting something new, whether it's a new member or weapon and turned things around on us."
"Plus the Worlds we've gotten were complete idiots!" Thunderbolt snapped.
"That much is true…" he sighed.
"Personally, I think you've all done a great job~" Gege chuckled, "Those gag reels of how many times Zenkaiser and Zenkai Gin had kicked you all in the lugnuts? Saved to my personal playlist."
"..." Hood and Drago shared looks of cringe, realizing that they may be in for more future pain given how Eggman and Boccowaus were contemplating with the same expression.
"Hmm…If one World ain't be enough for keehauling these Zenkaigers, perhaps we need to be deploying two and see if that be makin' the difference?" Battle Kukku suggested, rubbing the underside of his beak in thought.
"Possible, yes," Ijirude spoke, "However, we would need to pick out options. The last thing we need is a World who makes it snow…paired with a World that makes it endless summer…"
"I get the weirdest feeling they'd just bicker and sing about being Mr. Snow and Mr. Sun or Mr. Ten Below and Mr. 101," Tundra muttered.
"He gets it," Ijirude sighed, "We'll need to look into that idea more. For now, it's safer for us…to send them in one at a time and plan around their ability. But we do prefer if we could get back to work on our countermeasure to beat the Zenkaigers. We have made great headway after Starline's latest suggestion."
"Yes…this will be fantastic!" Eggman added, "We can beat that annoying Zenkaiser, the stupid Zenkai Gin, Sonic, and any other pest who gets in our way!"
"As long as it brings my empire a victory!" Boccowaus snapped.
"We just need more time to finish the elements needed for powering it," Ijirude added.
"And we have a perfect design and plan for the implementation," Eggman smiled.
"Hmm…If I were to do this, then hopefully I…"
"HEY JEWEL!"
"AHH!" a diamond-colored female Mobian beetle in a pink business suit yelped in surprise, ending up dropping the paperwork in her hands, "T-Tangle!"
"Sorry!" she sheepishly called out.
"Ah…" she turned to pick up the paperwork only to blink and see it already collected into a neat stack and held out for her by Sonic.
"Here ya go," he smiled.
"Oh…th-thank you," the beetle slowly blinked a bit as she took her paperwork back.
"Whoa~! This is amazing!" Amy awed, looking around with Magine at the various gems scattered about on displays, podiums, and cases.
"Ah! T-Tangle, what's going on…?" the beetle asked.
"I brought people wanting to see the museum!" Tangle beamed as her tail grabbed Roll and pulled her over, "Oh! Jewel, this is Roll. Roll, this is my best buddy from Spiral Hill Zone, Jewel!"
"Ano…Konnichiwa?" Roll greeted.
"Um…hello?" Jewel greeted back, "Wait…You're Roll? As in the Roll who helped keep Tangle safe the times she'd go out of the town on her 'adventures'? And the one whos family introduced her to her love of strawberries?"
"Eeyup!" Tangle grinned before licking her lips, "Mmm…Your mom's strawberry chocolate chunk cookies were the best!"
"Her cooking was always amazing," Kaito added happily, "I miss those old days when we were tiny, huh Roll?"
"Same here. It was so much easier to crawl through the underside of the house when playing hide and seek," Roll sighed in remembrance.
"Yeah and the time we tricked aunty lane into giving us the cake which your dad had." Flash added.
"Wait that was mine!" Roll told flash.
"Oh... Well... It was nice." Flash told sheepishly as roll growled at him.
"Childhood best friends from across dimensions," Sonic explained, "Nothing out of the ordinary from us."
"Really?" Tangle blinked at that as Jewel gawked.
"My Tousan and Kaachan were scientists and friends of Flash parents who were also friends of Roll's Tousan," Kaito explained, "They made a lot of…complicated sciency stuff. I mean, I don't get how you make machines to explore the multiverse."
"Me either.." Flash muttered trying to remember how.
"I heard all that and I seriously don't get it…" Tangle groaned, swirls in her eyes before shaking her head.
"Your father and thereparents made something to explore different universes?" Jewel asked.
"Well, it was more of an experimental viewer made by Kaito's and Flash's parents, but it malfunctioned and Tou-san ended up on Earth and made friends with everyone thanks to Kaito and Flash being themself," Roll explained, "After that, they got a functional way to travel the multiverse. Kaa-chan refused to let Tou-san leave her side for weeks after he got home. We did lose contact for a bit until Mobians and Kikainoids began to appear on Earth."
"That was around the time Kaachan and Tousan vanished," Kaito recalled.
"And sorta long story short on my part…Eggman messed me up while I was fixing our original world, and it resulted in both Mobius, Kikaitopia, and Earth fusing into a new one," Sonic added.
"Uh…" both tried to understand.
"Blame Eggman for us showing up here," Flash summarized.
"If he wasn't evil…I'd thank him. But he seems like kind of a butt," Gaon added.
"I'd believe it," Tangle muttered.
"Agreed," Jewel shuddered, "I was really lucky that he attacked the Golden Hive Colony just a day after I left, but it was still terrifying to realize what happened."
"Golden Hive Colony?" Magine repeated.
"Two friends of ours are considered the last two members of it after what Eggman did," Amy explained, a sad look crossing her face before gasping on seeing a set of jewels shaped like honeycombs in a framed case on a wall, "Oh! That's some of the jewelry they made!"
"Oh! It almost looks like real honey!" Magine awed.
"Wow, I never realized how little I actually know about your world," Flash spoke up, "What was Mobius like before?" He turned to his Mobian friends.
"Honestly…peaceful yet…" Sonic paused as he sighed a bit.
"We were constantly at war with Eggman and his Dark Legion," Amy added.
"My mind's kinda got two different memories I'm still sorting through thanks to Eggman's mess up…" Sonic grumbled.
"He never got near Spiral Hill," Tangle noted, "We only really heard stories."
"Scary…horrifying stories," Jewel added with a shiver.
"So are things much better now? Even though you're on Earth?" Kaito asked.
"It was startling at first," Jewel admitted.
"I almost beat up a buncha Kikainoids thinking they were Eggman's robots," Tangle sheepishly rubbed the back of her head, bopping herself on the top of her nogging with her tail, "Then again, I never really saw any of his 'bots before."
"I was just glad that I had been holding the jewels I had collected when that weird light happened," Jewel sighed in relief, gesturing to the exhibits, "With a bit of help, I managed to get this finally opened. Hopefully, I can make another back home if we ever figure out a way back to Mobius, but this will do alright for now."
"This is quite amazing," Vroon noted, "What made you decide to make a museum all about jewels?"
"Well…I always wanted to open a museum, and Tangle would often find some rare looking jewels now and again," Jewel explained, "It would've been a shame if we ended up just selling them, so I decided to open up a museum to help display all the rare jewels Tangle finds, and from where I grew up."
"We often went together on expeditions to find rare gems," Tangle added with a grin.
"And oftentimes I end up having to save her now and again," Jewel rolled her eyes with a slight giggle.
"Oh I get it, you're Adventurers!" Kaito awed.
"YUP!" Tangle beamed, "Best gem finders ever!" she then sighed, "Though not a whole lotta gems at the moment to be found. Lately, it's been sooo boring~!"
"You call the city getting invaded at least once a week boring?" Flash chuckled, "You realize just last week a Giant Robot performed an elbow drop off a skyscraper onto a robot kaiju…"
"Hey, yeah! Speaking of, I'd like to ask that we not do that again," Gaon muttered.
"Yeah, but it wasn't anywhere near us," Tangle sighed, "A lot of the stuff doesn't happen near here."
"What about the mushrooms?" Gaon asked.
"Mushrooms?" Tangle tilted her head.
"She put herself into a two day food coma at an eating contest," Jewel explained.
"Lousy Walter beat me by half a bite!" Tangle complained.
"What about the boxing?" Juran asked.
"I blacked out during that," Tangle noted as Jewel cringed as she rubbed her left eye, "But when I woke up, Jewel had a black eye, some of the builders were roughed up, two of the Kikainoid guys had their necks really long like that silly boxing robot game, and it looked like a tornado went through the whole place."
"Tangle must've been infected by Boxing World and then Great Boxing World," Roll noted.
"Well, what about when everyone got frozen?" Sonic asked.
"She slipped on the ice and knocked herself out," Jewel sighed.
"What about when everything went all samurai movie?" Gaon asked.
"I think I was a kunoichi like Roll was," Tangle tried to recall.
"Well lucky you…you don't get sucked into the endless nonsense. Not us…cause it's our job…" Magine sighed.
"Wait, really!?" Tangle gasped, stars in her eyes.
"Do you not recognise us?" Flash blinked, "we transform in public like all the time. This guy has screamed off rooftops he is…Zenkaiser." he motioned to Kaito.
"In the bathroom…in the kitchen…really e-everywhere." Ayane muttered.
"Zenkaiser desu!" Kaito shouted…already flashing into Zenkaiser while striking a pose.
"He…has learned to do that really fast…" Roll muttered.
"He sped up the process into microseconds…" Ayane awed at his clear defiance of physics.
"EEEE~!" Tangle squealed, multiple stars in her eyes, "SO COOL~!"
"How did you not know it was him? Kaito threw the concept of secret identity into space and let it burn in the sun," Sonic pointed out.
"I mean…most times I am suited up," Zenkaiser muttered as he reached for his helmet…and just slid it off in a single motion, "I never have a reason to take the helmet off."
"Yours comes off?" the Kikainoids gawked.
"Wait…are you guys…not wearing helmets?" Flash asked.
"No…that's my actual face when I transform," Magine added.
"Ours are reforged," the boys added.
"Tangle stopped breathing…" Kaito muttered, putting his fingers to her neck as she just…stood there, "Nope yeah…she passed out from over excitement." he nodded as she fell over.
"Nee-chan," Roll spoke.
"Hai…" Ayane sighed, reaching into her hair and pulling out a smelling salt that she handed to Roll, who proceeded to snap it in two and put the pieces under Tangle's nose.
"GAH!" she gasped, shooting up immediately, "Phew…thanks!"
"Wait…can someone else put the helmet on?" Sonic asked, taking Kaito's helmet and tried put it on…but it wouldn't fit.
"D-Dummy, it's part of his suit. It won't reform around your b-bloated head…" Ayane sighed.
"Now you tell me," Sonic deadpanned as he took the helmet off his head.
"Wait!." Tangle yelled making them look at her." How can I forget this. Your Zenkai Gin." She pointed at Flash.
"Yup, didn't think you forget that I was even seen in the broadcast and even make them with roll...."
"Oh, how can I forget. You're first appeared as a zenkaiger when tye giant sushi World thing attacked and you can also do magic. Rolly never did that. How do you do it." Tangled asked excitedly.
*BANG!*
"?!"
"Wasn't me…" Kaito shook his head as he put his helmet back on.
"Don't move!" the group turned to see a trio of figures standing in the doorway.
The first was a purple-furred Mobian weasel with a prominent snaggletooth, a stetson covering his head, a pair of brown gloves and boots, and a belt around his waist as he held up a revolver gun that was smoking a bit.
The second of the trio was a Mobian Duck with green feathers and a red neckerchief around his neck while the third, and largest of the trio was a Mobian Polar Bear with a red beanie on his head,a pair of brown and light brown mittens with red wrist straps, a pair of brown-toed red and black boots with gray soles and yellow shoelaces, and a green scarf around his neck.
"Oh great. These guys…" Sonic muttered to himself.
"Who're they?" Zenkaiser tilted his head.
"The Hooligans."
"The wh-"
"Alright, listen up!" the weasel spoke up, a bit of an Australian accent to their voice, "As of this moment, this Museum and all in it are property of the Hool-"
"Oh~! Hey, Nack Nack! Look at all the stones!" the Duck awed as he looked around the area.
"Gh…!" the weasel grunted in annoyance, "It's Fang, Bean! FANG!"
"..."
"Oh I know. Right, Bark?" Bean nodded to the polar bear, "He really needs to decide what his name really is."
"Are…these supposed to be bad guys?" Zenkaiser blinked, "They seem too…goofy even by our standards for bad guys."
"...What…is…that?" the Weasel blinked, spotting Zenkaiser.
"I think we can relax." Juran grunted while taking a seat.
"Kaito, try not to hurt them too bad. They might just be down on their luck," Flash called out.
"Hai-hai~" Zenkaiser happily cheered.
"Hey! We are not down on our luck!" Fang snapped as Bark tried to avoid looking at the weasel.
"But didn't you say we needed some cash to fix the get-away car before we tried to go after anything like a bank or place with big money?" Bean muttered.
"Your Ducky friend seems much more honest." Zenkaiser noted.
"Hey! He's not a duck!" Fang snapped.
"I'm not?" Bean blinked.
"He's not?" Zenkaiser blinked, before his hand shot up and caught a bullet Fang shot at him, snatching the bullet out of the air before it hit anything, "Hey~ That's not safe! If you shoot me, it could ricochet off and hurt someone!"
"Wha…how…what?" Fang blinked as Zenkaiser flicked the bullet between his finger and thumb.
"Here you go." Zenkaiser flicked it back as it struck Fang's forehead and knocked him over.
"Nack, no~!" Bean screamed, "He was so youn...he was so ha…he had so much left to live for…ah…"
"Ugh…"
"Oh, goody-goody! He's still alive!" Bean cheered.
"Are we sure he's not a duck?" Juran asked.
"No, it's the shape of his beak," Roll replied, "Great-Great Uncle Woody had the same kind of beak."
"Eh? But he looks like a duck," Juran argued.
"It's kind of hard, but there is a subtle difference between species at times for certain bird Mobian species," Flash assured, "He is not a duck."
"Well if he's not a duck, then what is he?" Vroon asked.
"Hm? Who am I? Oh, I know who I is!" Bean beamed as he clapped his hands together and pulled them apart…revealing a large stick of lit TNT as big as him.
"What the heck?!" Zenkaiser gawked.
"Imma Bean the Dynamite!" Bean cheered as he threw it at Zenkaiser, "Fly, Bessy, fly!"
"Hey, that's imateable!" Zenkaiser complained, catching the stick in his hands and holding it tight till it exploded harmlessly in his gloves, "Impressionable youth can copy that stuff you know!"
"Haseo-kun is a good boy," Gaon argued.
"Oh wait. That's right. It's just Haseo. …Uh…nevermind." Zenkaiser changed his mind on that point.
"Eh?" Haseo tilted his head.
"Nothing." Flash assured patting his head
"Oh wow..he caught it…" Bean blinked..before he pulled out more sticks of lit TNT, "Lucky I have more!"
"Wait!" Zenkaiser shouted as Bean froze mid-movement, "My turn, my turn, my turn!"
"Oh! Okay~" Bean nodded.
"I…uh…Bean…what…" Fang muttered with a look of just shock, "I…that…it's…"
"You okay, Nacky?" Bean asked.
"Just…an aneurysm from sheer stupidity…"
"Wow…didn't know you were that stupid, Nacky…" Bean tsked, earning an annoyed look from the weasel as Bark shook his head.
"Sentai Gear!" Zenkaier shouted, slotting a new gear and cranking his Geartlinger.
=NI-JUU-SAN BANG~! GOGO~FIVE!=
"Go Blaster Rescue Mode!" Zenkaiser shouted as a new gun formed in his hand, he aimed an unleashed a powerful pressurized stream of fire extinguishing foam spray, completely dousing the trio of would be crooks, putting out Bean's explosives and jamming Fang's gun, preventing either's weapons from being operable, "Disaster averted!" Zenkaiser saluted.
"Wow…What was that all about?" Sonic asked.
"Kyukyu Sentai GoGoFive," Ayane explained, poking her head out from her hiding spot behind Roll, "A Sentai who are Rescue workers first. They were formed to save their world from super disasters and from evil demons seeking to end the world. They are also a Sentai formed entirely of five actual siblings."
"?" Bark raised a brow.
"Ah~! Oh…" Bean gasped, falling to his knees as he picked up one of the sticks, "Oh Bomby…You were so close to the kaboom…" he got up, "Don't ya worry, Bomby and his family! You may not be able to do the kaboom…" he clapped his hands and he pulled them apart, revealing a cartoon bomb as big as his head, "Your relatives shall make up for it! Except for Uncle Clyde. No one likes your Uncle Clyde. Aside from the floor, but the floor is evil!"
"No…" Zenkaiser sprayed him again, "No…no…No." he sprayed Bean with every time he said 'no'.
"Rrow! Hiss! Angry cat noises!" Bean snapped as he ran away from Zenkaiser as he gave chase, still spraying him until Bean ran past Bark and slapped his hand, "Tag in!"
"You don't blow things up…do you?" Zenkaiser asked.
"..." Bark rolled his eyes before cracking his knuckles.
"...Oh you just punch," Zenkaiser noted before Bark punched him hard, sending him crashing through the wall of the museum, "...You just punch really hard…" he groaned.
"Ah! Kaito!" Gaon gasped.
"I'm good!" he called out, "All these papers cushioned my fall!"
"Ah! My paperwork!" Jewel exclaimed.
"Okay, what is…this!? Since when is there a superhero who can just show up?" Fang asked, looking at Sonic and Amy.
"That would be Zenkaiser, the human superhero of this world who protects it from being destroyed and overtaken by the fusion of Eggman's army and an army of sentient machines who have conquered the Multiverse," Sonic explained, "Oh…also, his super power is he never gives up."
"Shwa!" Zenkaiser shouted, jumping out and kicking Bark, sending him flying even further away.
"Oh wow! Bark can fly! Bark can fly!" Bean cheered, flapping his arms happily before spinning around to Zenkaiser with a smile while holding up another bomb, "I can make the whole building fly, too!"
"Bad ducky!" Zenkaiser lifted his fist into Bean's beak, making him groan and slowly slide down, "No more explosives! Only fists! You have challenged me! Come at me!" he shouted as he began chasing Bark.
"!" Bark grit his teeth as he narrowed his eyes before throwing a punch that countered Zenkaiser's, causing the ground to shatter around them.
"...I~te~!" Zenkaiser exclaimed, rapidly shaking his hand and blowing on it, "Ooh! That punch stung! You are one strong polar bear!"
"Hah! Of course…and Bark is also holding his fist in pain…" Fang muttered, seeing the polar bear doing the exact same thing Zenkaiser was doing.
"You realize that suit can survive a building caving down on him, right?" Flash smiled, "If anything, the reason he hasn't whooped your butts is 'cause he's just goofing around. I've seen him fight real bad guys…he goes much harder than this."
"I will…gah!" Bean coughed as he was hit again.
"I said no bombs!" Zenkaiser complained, "AH! Why did I use that hand?!" he cried in pain.
"Yep…goofing around," Those who knew Kaito sighed.
"How is he making those explosives?" Ayane muttered.
"No…" Roll ordered, pulling her back behind the Hedgefox.
"But Onee-chan~"
"You're grounded," Flash reminded, making Ayane pout.
"Don't swing important stuff around!" Zenkaier grunted, grabbing Bark in a scissorhold with his legs, while holding Bean in a headlock and grinding his knuckles on his head.
"Grr…" Fang growled out in annoyance, "Am…am I seriously being ignored?!"
"Oh sorry," Zenkaiser blinked before he twisted around and tossed Bean into Fang, before flipping Bark up…and slamming him down on both of them, "If you wanted me to treat you like serious bad guys…just had to ask."
"Ow…" Fang groaned underneath the duo.
"Hey, uh…Roll, you know his beak. What is he?" Juran asked.
"Woodpecker."
"Majide?" Juran gawked as Roll, Flash Haseo, and Ayane nodded, "Alright. Hey, little woodpecker guy!"
"Mmm?" Bean muffled out under Bark as Juran reignited the dropped cartoon bomb and rolled it over to the pile.
"Your bomb wants to go outside," Juran informed.
"Hah?!" Bean exclaimed, pulling himself out of the pile to scoop up the bomb and walked outside, "Mr. Bomberkin, I told you to go before we left the house! Oh, you are embarrassing us and…" everyone jumped on hearing the explosion outside, "YAHOOHOOHOOEY~!" a few moments of silence followed before the door opened and a Bean with his feathers, beak, and clothes all covered in soot walked in, "I apologize…Mr. Bomberkin had explosive diarrhea…" he walked back to the pile, lifted up a confused Bark, coughed out a cloud of smoke, and then dropped the polar bear back on him and Nack.
"Why~?" Nack groaned as Bark decided to just wave his scarf like a white flag, finding this more insane than his normal routine could deal with…and he was friends with Bean.
"Okay, good, you give up," Zenkaiser pulled out his Geartlinger again and began cranking another Gear.
=NI-JUU-HACHI BANG~! DEKA~RANGER!=
With that, the three found themselves cuffed in D-Wapper handcuffs which were made to restrain stronger aliens and suppress their special abilities.
"Wh…hey. Hey! What are these…?!" Fang snapped as he tried to free himself.
"D-Wappers," Zenkaiser explained, spinning an extra pair on a finger, "They are made to capture Aliens and suppress their super powers. But might work on Mobians, too." the pair slipped off him finger and cuffed Sonic, "Oop! Sorry, Sonic…"
"Hey!" Sonic called, about to run over only to fall flat on his face, "...Yep…They suppressed my speed…"
"How did you know those were a thing?" Juran asked.
"Me and Roll thought we could list what the Gears all do…but turns out they don't always do what I want, but always give me what I need," Zenkaiser explained simply.
"W-Wait…Onee-chan, you did experiments…without me?" Ayane asked, "And with h-him!?" she pointed to Zenkaiser.
"This was kinda before you finally had to be exposed," Roll explained, picking the lock on Sonic's handcuffs.
"Mmmm~!"
"Oh~, what's the matter. Jealous that roll get to experiment with kaito rather then you could with him." Flash teased making her growl at him.
"That…was so cool~!" Tangle awed, looking at Zenkaizer with stars in her eyes while moving all around him, "You totally owned those guys like they were normal grunts!"
"OI!" Fang snapped at that.
"Quiet normal grunt!" Juran called, chuckling.
"Well, I mean I've faced a lot of weirder things…" Zenkaiser muttered.
"Cause you run in headfirst and end up fighting…Everything," Juran sighed.
"To be fair…the angry ladies trying to kill me was nothing I was new to," Zenkaiser replied.
"Something tells me he really could have used you in Highschool," Flash whispered to Roll, "Something about his stories just screams he did not understand hints."
"No he d-" Roll began before the sound of something clattering caught their attention, making everyone look to see what looked like a black ball with a crude expression on it, "..."
"..." Bark inhaled deeply before clamping his mouth shut.
"...Oh n-" Haseo began with wide eyes before the ball suddenly exploded, engulfing the entire room in a thick green gas, "AHH!"
"AHH! SKUNK STINK!" Sonic panicked.
"Ack! No~! Evil! Hack! Gah! Shouldn't have taken my helmet off! Should not have taken it off!" Zenkaiser gagged.
"Argh~! What is this?!" Gaon exclaimed.
"Skunk stink!" Sonic wheezed.
"Those fuzzy black and white fluffy critters make something this foul!?"
"How are you even smelling this?"
"I asked Skye-san to make me something to let me smell! Regret! So much regret!"
"Why are we still gettin' punished?!" Fang cried, being carried out of the museum with Bean by Bark, the polar bear sporting watery eyes as he held in his breath.
=ZENKAI GIN~!=
"Hurricane Nippon!" Zenkai Gin shouted, quickly making a strong wind to blow out the cloud of nauseous fumes…to reveal the now empty museum as all the gems and jewels on display were gone, "?!"
"Ah! It's all gone!" Tangle yelped, "Ah geez…Jewel, I….Jewel?" she blinked as she looked around, "...uh….has anyone seen Jewel?"
"..."
"...oh no…it happened again!" Tangle panicked, her tail sticking straight up as she put her hands on her head, "She got kidnapped!"
"Hah?!" Both Zenkaigers gawked at that.
"Everytime she goes into a panic attack, she curls up…and she ends up looking like an actual jewel if her back is turned!"
"What kind of luck is that…?" Zenkaiser sighed.
"...Uh…Kaito, buddy?" Zenkai Gin spoke up.
"Hm?"
"Where's your Geartlinger?" Juran asked.
"Oh, it's right here in my hand," Zenkaiser replied as he held up an onion on a stick, "..." he looked at the confused faces on everyone, "...What? …I didn't write my name on it in my sleep, did I?" he looked at the onion, "Oh, no I didn't." he chuckled, "It's just an onion on a stick. See? Nothing wrong at all, minna! It's just…just…" Zenkaiser threw it on the ground, "An onion on a stick?!"
"We worry about him," Haseo spoke up honestly.
"Eh!?" Zenkaiser gawked, "Ah…Et tu, Haseo?"
"It's True." Zenkai Gin spoke making Zenkaiser depressed even more.
"Well, at least we know you don't need to keep it on your person to stay transformed," Sonic noted, keeping his nose pinched as Amy pulled out a can of Febreeze and started spraying it about.
"Yeah…but as I know it, Kaito's is DNA locked, and without it…isn't he stuck in that suit?" Amy pointed out.
"AH!" Zenkaiser panicked, "How do I pee!?"
"Do you see what logic does around here?" Zenkai Gin sighed to Amy.
"I know it's my fault, but it had to be pointed out," Amy countered.
"Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man!" Tangle ran around in a circle, hands to the sides of her head with a panicked expression on her face, "What do I do? What do I do? What do I…" her frantically moving tail caught her legs, tripping her, "Whoa!" she tumbled along the floor, hitting Zenkaiser.
"Whoa!" Zenkaiser yelped as he fell and ended up rolling with Tangle as a gray and white ball.
"Oh Tangle-chan…" Roll sighed, facepalming.
"Heh heh…boy what a haul!" a pair of voices laughed as a group of humans, Kikanoids, and Mobians were busy tending to a pair of Skunk Mobians, a large burlap sack near them as they laughed.
"Those idiots didn't know what hit 'em!" the shorter of the two skunks laughed, tossing up a gem stone as a female Mobian cat was fanning him, "All we had to do was wait for them to deal with those Hooligans for us…"
"And we used your special stink bomb to grab everythign in site!" the larger of the two laughed as a human woman and a male Kikanoid were busy rubbing his arms, "It was brilliant, Rough!"
"Only I can come up with a plan like that, Tumble," the smaller of the two grinned, "Now then…you mentioned you found a pretty big jewel in there?"
"Oh yeah I found it on the ground near all those other guys," the big one smiled.
"Then show it!" Rough grinned as Tumble reached into the sack and pulled out a rather large jewel, "Oh look at…..uh….buddy?"
"Yeah?"
"Turn it around."
"Huh? Wha…" Tumble began as he turned it around..and saw that it was in truth a very scared Jewel, "..."
"D…don't hurt me…" Jewel whispered, looking like a deer in the headlights at the moment.
"What's the matter with you!? You kidnapped somebody!" Rough snapped.
"Well I didn't know! I thought she was a jewel!"
"...I'm a beetle," Jewel stated, an annoyed look on her face.
"So wh…wait. Rough, aren't Jewel Beetles considered really rare?" Tumble asked.
"About as rare as honey made from a bee of the Golden Hive Colony," Rough replied.
"...Think we might fetch a pretty penny if we sold her to someone?"
"What…?" Jewel whispered with wide eyes.
"Be pretty difficult, but I think we could."
"Wow…you are like…the worst possible people ever…" Sonic spoke up, appearing next to them, "Is that a 'your parents didn't love you enough' thing, or do you both have some severe brain problems?"
"?!" both jumped, "What the…?!"
"So…who're you guys supposed to be anyway?" Sonic asked before blurring out of the way of Tumble's thrown fist, "Missed me~!"
"...who are we?" Rough asked with a grin.
"You lookin' to scrap?" Tumble asked as he cracked his knuckles.
"Then get ready to crumble!" Rough added.
"You better brace yourself for…" Tumble began before the two did a pose together.
"Rough and Tumble!"
"...snkr…" Sonic began to snicker, trying his best to hold the laughter in, "Oh no….they have a cringy motto…"
"You take that back!"
"No."
"Uh…what now?"
"Wow, you guys are dumb…" Sonic rolled his eyes before looking at the other people there, "And let me guess…part of your gang, or you got a 'protection agency' going on here?"
"The latter!" one of the Kikanoids exclaimed.
"They agreed to protect our homes from Tojitendo and Eggman's forces!" A Mobian dog added.
"But in exchange, we had to be their servants or else they'll wreck our homes," a human female added.
"And th-they're planning on selling me!" Jewel added from her hiding spot.
"Well yeah, but keep in mind…they're idiots…" Sonic sighed, "Chances are they thought they could sell you to a zoo…"
"No we didn't," Tumble denied.
"And you just confirmed it," Sonic grinned.
"Oh yeah…well take this!" Rough snapped as he threw a black ball at him.
"Seriously? Y-" Sonic began as he dodged it..until it let out the same green smoke when it hit the wall, "Ack! Skunk stink again! Ugh! Ptoie! Why?!"
"We're skunks! Bein' stinkers is our craft!" Rough laughed.
"Found ya!" Zenkaiser shouted, jumping through the smoke and drop kicking the two skunks, "I followed the stink! And I fixed my helmet so now I can't smell ya!"
"Yer mad 'bout th' onion on a stick, ain't ya?" Tumble asked.
"What do you think?!" Zenkaiser snapped, holding up said onion, the stick cracked and the onion dented.
"Hey! Dat was my lunch!" Tumble complained.
"And you have my friend!"
"Wh-" Tumble began before he was slugged in the side of his face, the 'fist' belonging to a certain lemur as she stood nearby.
"Hey, what was-ACK!" Rough coughed as Zenkaiser kicked him across the face, "Cheap shot!"
"Bad Guys can't complain!" Zenkaiser, Sonic, and Tangle all spoke in unison.
'Those three are in synch!' many of those under the skunks' 'protection' thought with disbelief before one Kikainoid froze on feeling someone tap his shoulder, making him slowly turn to see Flash.
"Shh…" Flash squashed quietly, "They won't be able to do much 'protection' after they poked some very big buttons from them."
"Hai, hai. Silent party outta here if you don't wanna see the messy beatdown," Juran quietly added, pointing away from the five.
"Shwa!" Zenkaiser called out, punching Rough again.
"...Lead the way," one Mobian whispered as they began to follow the two.
"You come back here!" Tangle complained, chasing Tumble, "You need so many more punches for scaring my best friend! I'm not kidding, you stop running!"
"SHUT UP!" Tumble snapped as he ducked under a thrown fist from her tail, "And that's not fair! You got a big fluffy tail you can punch with! All I have is a stub!"
"How'd that happen anyway? Were you trying to cut down a mouse and it got you to chop yours off?" Tangle asked.
"No!"
"Is that a yes?" Zenkaiser and Sonic asked.
"It's totally a yes," Tangle smirked.
"SHUT UP!" Tumble snapped as he grabbed her tail and pulled.
"Uh-woah!" Tangle yelped as Tumble threw her around before sending her crashing into Sonic and Zenkaiser.
"I got ya!" Zenkaiser spoke, catching them and only skidding back a few meters.
"Oh thanks Kaito…you are sturdy as a rock…" Sonic muttered.
"I'm a Rock!" Zenkaiser shouted as he put them down as he rushed in and clotheslined both Skunks.
"Ack!" Rough and Tumble coughed as the former fell over while the latter staggered back.
"Oh I'm gonna break your face in with that helmet, you spandex weirdo!" Tumble snapped, cracking his knuckles as he slugged Zenkaiser across the face.
"It's not spandex," Zenkaiser replied, punching Tumble back, "Get it right sir!" he slapped him, making him blink.
"Did you just…" he was cut off by another slap, "Stop that!"
"No," Zenkaiser spoke, swinging his leg and tripping Tumble. He then stepped over and grabbed Tumble's legs and pulled them back as far as he could, making Tumble cry in pain from the hold, "Say uncle!"
"NO!"
"Say U-" Zenkaiser began before he quickly let go, ducking under a tail swipe from Rough, a nearby crate suddenly cut in half, "Eh?!"
"Hope you like my tail, ya jumpsuit freak!" Rough grinned as he attempted to swipe again, only for Tangle's tail to wrap around him as he was tossed to the other side of the room, "Fugah!"
"Bad Skunky!" Zenkaiser shouted at Rough.
"That is one sharp tail!" Sonic gawked before doing a spin dash at Tumble…who caught him in his hands, "?!"
"Hey, guy who had my lunch!" Tumble shouted.
"Eh?" Zenkaiser looked up before Sonic slammed right into his face, knocking him over, "GUFAW!"
"These guys are actually kinda tough…" Sonic grunted as he and Zenkaiser got up.
"That guy's really strong…and the other has a really sharp tail," Zenkaiser noted, "Guess they have a right to be stupid…"
"Well you guys wanted trouble..!" Rough began as he jumped back to Tumble.
"...And we're giving you double!" Tumble added as he banged his fist together.
"You guys can't beat the combo of Rough…" the two skunks began as they posed again, "...And Tumble!"
"...Is that even allowed?" Zenkaiser asked, looking at Sonic who was giving a deadpan expression.
"It's so painful to hear," Sonic groaned, "...Think we can pull that off for the next World that shows up?"
"Oh, that'd be fun," Zenkaiser chuckled, "...But what if it's one that makes us into mimes?"
"Shoot, that's a good point," Sonic grumbled before both barely rolled out of the way of Tumble's punch slamming down at where they had been, cratering the ground, "Whoa now!"
"Yipe! Bad touch if that hits!" Zenkaiser called before grunting as sparks came off his torso from Rough's tail swipe, the impact causing his buckle to pop open and drop one of the Sentai Gears, "Guh!"
"Hm? Oh, I was watchin' ya put these into that gun o' yers earlier," Rough noted as he picked it up before reaching into his tail and pulled out the pilfered Geartlinger…covered in black and white stickers to try to imitate a skunk's colors.
"Oi! What'd you do to my gun?!"
"My gun now," Rough grinned, preparing to put the gear into the gun…only for the cover to not come off, "..." he grunted, trying to pull it off, "Come on, come on…"
"Excuse me," Tangle spoke, tapping his shoulder.
"What?" Rough demanded, turning to look at her.
"My tail is gonna hurt ya with a brick now!" Tangle stated with a big smile.
"Say wha…" Rough began before Tangle's tail, holding a brick, slammed down on his gun-holding wrist, "!?" he jumped up, dropping the Gear and Geartlinger, "EEYOW!"
"Thank you~!" Tangle thanked, her tail dropping the brick and snatched the two items mid fall, "Hey! Catch!" She called out to Zenkaiser as her tail tossed the Gear and Geartlinger to him.
"Oh no you d-!" Tumble began before a blur shot past him, making him grunt as he was suddenly swept off his feet.
"Sorry~!" Sonic laughed as he skidded to a halt, "Actually, no I'm not!"
"Yosh!" Zenkaiser shouted as he grabbed the items. He then spun around as the Geartlinger was suddenly cleaned and returned to its original condition.
"How'd he do that!?" the Skunks gawked.
"He's a Superhero…he has many hidden powers," Sonic smiled.
"Now it's my turn!" Zenkaiser flipped the Gear and inserted it.
"Wait, why did it work for him?!"
"Duh…the people who made that invention are geniuses…it's made so only he or certain Kikainoids can use it; not Mobians," Sonic explained, "So if a couple of idiots take it, they can't use its awesome power for evil."
"Awesome…power…" the two gawked.
=NI-JU-KYU BANG! MAGI~RANGER!=
"Mahou Keitai MagiPhone!" Zenkaiser held up a golden flip phone as it opened up into a wand, "Jiruma Maagi Magiiro!" he swung the wand as a magic circle flew out and then spread out, making things glow and then…vanish. Multiple things on Rough and Tumble's person vanishing into golden dust.
"Wha…What did you do!?" Tumble asked.
"All our loot, our weapons, everything! Gone!?"
"I used magic to return anything stolen back to their proper owners!" Zenkaiser explained.
"AAAHHH!-!-!" they panicked.
"Majuna Majuna!" Zenkaiser swung the wand as he vanished, followed by Sonic and Tangle.
"Where did they go!?"
"Probably ran…yeah! This is their weak way of…gah!" Tumble gasped as he was punched then kicked.
"Hahaha! I'm invisible!" Tangle cheered.
"Speed and Invisibility…oh, this is a wonder combo for the ages!" Sonic cheered.
"What…how…What is happening?!" the Skunks demanded.
"Something you've never faced before!" Zenkaiser declared, "When someone has the spirit to stand up to those who use force against others. That wonderful feeling of courage springs forth, the power of Courage can become Magic! Yuki wa Mahou!" He returned to visibility as he swung his leg and kicked both Mobian Skunks across the face, "Gi Gi Giru!" He held his hands up as red flames sparked around his fists before forming into Boxing Gloves; he bashed them together to reveal the white tops with the Magiranger's symbol formed between the two.
"Uh-oh…" the paled before a barrage of punches pummeled them.
"Shwa!" Zenkaiser shouted, unleashing an unending barrage of punches as he juggled them up in the air with his fists, "Never…bother the people of my world…" he reared his right arm back tensing it with all he had as the glove began glowing with head, "Ever AGAIN! BURNING SCREW UPPER!" He swung a mighty uppercut as his fist ignited mid-swing and the impact with both Skunks caused a massive geyser of fire to spew and launch them into the air.
The two screamed in pain before Rough yelped as he felt his tail was being pulled. He looked to see Tangle's own tail grabbing his…before he was whipped around and slammed head first into Tumble. She grunted, swinging both around in a wide arc before sending them flying off towards Sonic. Sonic yawned as he waited a bit before he curled up and began peeling out while a blue aura formed around his now spherical form. He then shot forward then up into the air to cannonball into both with the Spin Dash sending them flying once again towards Zenkaiser.
"AND NEVER COME BACK! SHWA!" he roared, swinging his flaming boxing gloves as he pummeled and blasted them at the same time.
"Magine, can you do stuff like that?" Juran and Amy awed as they watched from a distance.
"Muri-muri-muri!" she rapidly shook her head, sending her ponytail about to slap Gaon.
"This ability may have proved useful back when we faced Boxing World…" Vroon noted, writing down this Gear's power.
"Mmm…" Ayane nodded, scribbling in a notebook before Flash took it and gave it to roll who hid it in her shirt, "Ah! B-But…"
"Grounded," Roll reminded.
"Bad, Nee-chan," Haseo scolded.
"Mmm~!" Ayane whined, puffing her cheeks up a bit.
"Wait, Flash can you do that..." Juran asked
"Yeah, just never bother to. Learned that spell a whole back." Flash answered.
Wh…how…" Jewel whispered with wide eyes.
"We're kinda superheroes," Gaon grinned.
"Should we worry that an overexcited Kaito might…punish them too much?" Magine asked.
"..." everyone took a second to consider that, "Nah, this is fine."
"AND ANOTHER!"
"PLEASE STOP!/MERCY!"
"Not 'till I beat the evil out of you!" Zenkaiser shouted.
"AHH!"
"He is just…limitless stamina," Sonic chuckled.
"You have one, too?" Jewel asked.
"Huh?"
"Ooh! Pinata!" Tangle cheered, holding them up by her tail.
"Pinata!" Zenkaiser cheered, already blindfolded with a bat.
"Ah! No~!" both skunks freaked.
"...Oh my god…she's a female Kaito," Juran whispered, optics wide with oil dripping down his head.
"Mistakes have been made," Vroon gulped, optics wide and his glasses slipping in fear.
"They say everyone has their twin…best match…etc…?" Magine muttered.
"On the one hand, they're bad guys…on the other, Kaito-kun and Tangle-chan are so happy…" Gaon mumbled.
"Eh.. I can handle it." Flash simply said.
"How?!" The others asked.
"I worked with a hyper energy girl my hole life and I lived with kaito."
"Oh.."
"Hey, batter-batter-batter SWING!" Tangle shouted.
"IKUZE!" Zenkaiser cheered.
*THWACK!*
"GYAHAHAHAHA~!"
"Well, I mean they did kidnap an innocent person and consider trying to sell said person," Amy pointed out, "Along with their other illegal activities. But the 'kidnap and sell someone' part… yeah, this is earned and I don't think we should stop them anytime soon just for that alone. Or 'till the one kidnapped thinks it's enough."
"O-Oh! U-Um…" Jewel gulped.
"And switch!" Zenkaiser declared, holding the skunks up by a rope as Tangle spun around, a bat in both hands and one in her tail.
"Behold, the best idea I got from reading this awesome comic!" Tangle declared, "Three Bat Style - Lemur Edition!"
"OH NO~!" both screamed.
*THWACK-THWACK-THWACKITY-THWACK-THWACK!*
"Um…Maybe five more minutes then stop?" Jewel suggested.
"You heard her, five more minutes!" Flash smiled, taking a seat and making popcorn appear in his arm with Magic to enjoy what was to follow.
"...wha…?" Rough and Tumble paled at that.
"SWING!" Zenkaiser cheered.
*THWOCK!*
"AIIIEEEE~!"
"Oooh…" Flash, Gaon, Juran, Vroon, Sonic, and Haseo cringed.
"Our…kiwis…."
"Wow…you really don't hold back, huh?" a human police officer muttered as they came to collect Rough and Tumble, they didn't believe it at first but given the Zenkaigers called they figured it must be worth something to try.
"I mean…they are kind of garbage people," Zenkaiser replied, still transformed so as to further validate things.
"The worst," Tangle agreed.
"Oh totally," Sonic nodded.
"Absolute scum," Amy added.
"Here's their confession," Flash added, holding up one of there Camera Gears.
"We have been meaning to think of how to…collect the new wave of…I guess, Supervillains…" a human officer muttered.
"Which…most came from Mobius…" a Mobian Bulldog officer chuckled sheepishly.
"But since the notable ones always book it after the Zenkaigers beat them black and blue…we figured it'd be best to let them handle it 'till…you know laws and stuff catch up to the freaky new world."
"Politics, am I right?" Juran joked.
"I mean it always sucked…but even with how good this is going…kinda…hard to make everything work with a new world order." the police officer muttered, "It's why we are so thankful for you Zenkaigers, you make things just a little easier on us."
"And losers like this don't exactly help things," the Mobian Police officer sighed, "But maybe now we can get some stuff moving in the right direction."
"That's great to hear!" Tangle cheered, "Just, uh, ignore the squeaky voices alright. That's their natural voices."
"Dey're not…" Tumble squeaked.
"Quiet you," Zenkaiser ordered.
"You heard the superhero," The Mobian officer spoke, shoving them into the back seat.
"I really must thank you all for helping with my being kidnapped and the theft of all the stuff in my museum," Jewel noted.
"No problem, thanks to magic, it's like nothing even happened," Zenkaiser chuckled, "Sorry, the spell only works on inanimate objects though."
"It's alright," Jewel assured.
"I made sure to lock the door behind us after we left, so there's no worries about people going into the museum while you've been away," Flash assured as the police left.
"Oh! Th-Thank you," Jewel bowed with a grateful smile.
"My competent friends are getting along so well," Tangle chuckled, rubbing the underside of her nose with a finger…before her stomach and Zenkaiser's stomach rumbled at the exact same time.
"Ugh…Food~!" both whined.
"Oh right…" Zenkaiser grunted, undoing his transformation, "Gang way!" Kaito shouted, running for the nearest bathroom.
"...Was he…" Amy began…before shaking her head, "Nevermind…"
"Considering I feel that our presence is what caused all that happened to you today, I'd be more than willing to cook for you both back home as an apology," Roll offered.
"Best buddy!" Tangle beamed as she glomped the HedgeVixen.
"It's the least we can do," Flash offered, "Fixing it and getting everything back was what we would have done regardless, so consider this the method of our making it up to you. Chaos tends to follow us…and we mostly blame Sonic and Kaito for it."
"Hey…" Sonic frowned before shrugging, "Eh, that's fair. I am a pretty chaotic guy at times. Just ask the security at the needle tower place I keep freefalling off of that Kaito has failed to once get a bungee connected to, let alone jump off with said bungee."
"Ooh…I know him…" Tangle cringed, "I...tried rope jumping off the top with my tail."
"Many mistakes have been made," Vroon whispered, in a huddle with the other Kikainoids of the team.
"Oh, those poor guards if they work together," Magine groaned.
"I get the feeling we're now stuck with her," Juran noted in a deadpan tone, "Kaito has more than likely attached to her like a sibling."
"I don't get what's wrong," Gaon noted, "More fluffy friends is great!"
"We should probably warn Yachan about this," Magine gulped.
"Yosha!" the other three agreed before all four turned to the others.
"Ah, minna! We'll go on ahead and check up on what ingredients might be needed tonight," Magine offered.
"Hai, hai. Gonna be a big ol' welcoming party to two new friends after all!" Juran laughed.
"Sweet! Party!" Tangle whooped.
"I don't know…" Jewel whispered, "I need to rearrange all the jewels and crystals that were taken, then finish up the paperwork I need to do…and redo the paperwork that got ruined in the robbery…"
"Aww~ But Jewel~! It's free food!" Tangle argued, "And it's with new friends, too!"
"I'm back!" Kaito declared, making most of them jump, "What I miss?"
"Giving Tangle and Jewel a party as both a 'sorry for the museum and kidnapping' and 'hi new friends' feast," Flash replied.
"Sweet!" Kaito smiled, "Well let's go! Yatchan will love to meet you."
"Eh? B-But…" Jewel began.
"Jewel-san, think of Kaito as a male human Tangle-chan," Roll sighed.
"O-Oh dear…" Jewel squeaked, her eyes wide.
"Wait…Roll…where's your sister?" Flash blinked.
"..." Roll left in a blur before coming back, holding up the tied up Ayane, "She had a secret tunnel near here she was trying to open."
"Mmm~"
"Ahh…well let's go!" Kaito declared.
"Hai! S-" Vroon began before he took notice of something, "Hmm?"
"What's wrong, Vroon?" Flash asked.
"I don't recall this building being here before." Vroon spoke, looking at a nearby building, "If I recall, this was an empty lot soon to be built upon." he explained, "I even wrote it down on my map of the area," he pulled out a little notebook with a very detailed map of everywhere he'd been today.
"I didn't magic that…" Kaito shook his head, having full trust in Vroon's memory, "So…what happened?"
"First time I'm seeing the place," Sonic added as everyone took notice of the building Vroon was looking at, "Looks like a smoothie joint kinda."
"Smooth what?" Vroon asked.
"Hah!? You don't know what a smoothie is?!" Tangle gawked, "Uh, Rolly?"
"I have several recipes for smoothies to let him try before we waste money on going to an actual store," Roll replied, "Seriously…last time I checked one out in the shinjuku ward, that was downright highway robbery for how small those so-called 'large' cups are…"
"I still do not understand. What is being smoothed?" Vroon muttered.
"Eh. We'll show ya once we get back to our place," Flash shrugged.
"Yay! Smoothies!" Tangle and Kaito cheered.
"I still don't understand!" Vroon complained as his head spun around.
"It's a drink made with liquid, frozen ingredients, ice-but that can be ignored if you use frozen ingredients-, and mixed up in a blender," Magine explained.
"I think Magine and I went to that place you were talking about, Roll," Amy admitted, "It was delicious, but the prices were outrageous! And how was that supposed to be a large?! It was obviously a medium!"
"I'm more than happy to let you help with making them, Vroon," Roll offered.
"Oh! That sounds most educational!"
"The normal chocolate and strawberry one, Tangle-chan?" Roll asked.
"Always!" Tangle cheered.
"B-Blueberry, please!" Haseo called, his tails wagging.
"I'll take strawberry and cream, please!" Flash called out with his hand up.
"Come on! Smoothie Zenkai!" Kaito cheered.
"Yatta!"
