“Good morning everypony,” Spike smiled, walking into the room, seeing in the room was everypony, except Dash.  “Where’s Rainbow Dash?”

“Sleepin’,” Applejack answered.

“Why would she be sleeping in this late?” Spike wondered, checking the clock, “It’s already noon.”

“Ah have no idea,” Applejack admitted as even Scootaloo was awake at this point, eating a breakfast served up by Fluttershy.

“I heard somepony muttering about ‘somepony of my dreams’. Any idea who it was?” Spike asked, and then everypony turned to look at Rarity.

“...What?  It wasn’t me,” Rarity answered honestly. 

Everypony gave her a look, and realized it wasn’t her.

“Then who could it be?” Pinkie wondered.

“Look, it’s probably nothing. I’ll go and bring Dash her breakfast,” Twilight said, using her magic to pick up the tray with Dash’s breakfast and head for her room.

“Okay then,” the others nodded as Twilight took a tray of food before reaching Dash’s room and knocking.

“You’re my… special somepony…” Twi heard Dash’s voice mutter, before hearing some snoring.

“Oh man… how long is she gonna snooze?” Twilight wondered before opening the door, “Rainbow?   Wake up, it’s me.”

Dash had began to wake up, and saw Twilight smiling at her. “Oh…” Dash smiled, a small blush forming on her face.

“I brought you some breakfast,” Twilight informed, placing the tray on Dash’s table.

“Oh… thanks Twilight…” Dash smiled.

“You’re welcome.  When you’re ready, meet us out in the living room, okay?”

“Okay,” Dash nodded.





“Sorry for oversleeping guys,” Dash apologized, having just finished eating her breakfast.

“It’s alright, Sugarcube.  Just try and get to bed sooner so you can wake up on time,” Applejack replied.

“I set an alarm, but… I don’t know where it is…” Dash admitted.

“Right…” the others sighed.

“...So, what now, Twilight?” Scootaloo asked.

“Well, we have things to take care of. Applejack, you need to go to the farm, Fluttershy has animals to watch, Rarity has a job, and Pinkie, the Cakes need you.  Oh, and Scootaloo has school,” Twilight read a to-do list.

“So… how are we gonna go back to Ponyville without anypony finding out we’re the Gokaigers?” Pinkie wondered.

“We take a train…” Twilight said, pointing at the train outside a window.

“But where do we park the GokaiGalleon then?”

“We’re not flying… we’re behind the Crystal Palace, where we’re always at,”

“...Oh… right…” Pinkie giggled, “Oopsie.”





“Okay, Spike’s taking Scootaloo to school, so that just leaves me and you Rainbow,” Twilight said.

“Okay then,” Dash nodded, trying to stay cool.

“You know something I’ve always wanted to do, go to that fancy ice cream place, Icy Palace.” Twilight told Dash as they walked.

“Really?  Wow.  Uh… I… I could take you there if you want?” Dash offered.

“Really?! Thank you Rainbow Dash!” Twilight smiled.

“No problem, Twilight,” Dash nodded as they continued to walk, soon finding themselves at the establishment in question.

“Ah, if it isn’t Rainbow, our favorite customer,” the owner smiled.

“You know the owners?” Twilight asked.

“It’s because of me they managed to open. So, I can come in with anypony I want, whenever I wanna,” Dash explained.

“Really?  Wow,” Twilight gawked.

“An outside umbrella seat for me and my friend,” Dash requested.

“Of course, Dash.”

The two were then seated, and soon ordered, Dash getting the chocolate ice cream float, and Twilight ordered a small strawberry. 

“Wow… this place is amazing,” Twilight gleamed.

“It sure is,” Rainbow agreed.

Twilight then got a bit of an unsettled look from the looks of passersby. “Dash… some ponies are giving us funny looks,”

“...Not sure why,” Dash replied, Twilight not seeing the blush the pegasus had on her muzzle.

“Sorry Twilight… our ice cream shipment hasn’t arrived yet, so we can only give you two the float Dash ordered,” the employee apologized.

“...Oh…” Twilight sighed a little.

“Don’t worry about it.  I can share,” Dash told the employee. 

The employee simply gave the duo another straw and then took his leave. “You haven’t LIVED until you’ve tried one of their floats Twi,” Dash smiled as Twilight wasn’t sure how to respond at first before she sighed.

“Okay then, Dash,” Twilight nodded before she put in a straw and blushed after taking a sip. “Wow… it’s so good…”

“Told you so, Twilight,” Dash smirked. But she got lost in Twilight’s giddy smile, and began to smile back.

Dash took one small sip as Twilight enjoyed the float.

“Dash, are you okay?” Twilight asked.

“Huh?” Dash responded.  “Y-Yea.  I’m fine.”

“Okay. I’m really liking the float,” Twilight continued.

“Glad you do,” Dash nodded.

“Why don’t you have the rest of it, since you’re gonna pay for it, you should enjoy it,” Twilight offered.

“Oh… Really?  Um…” Dash started, not sure if she should accept. 

“I insist Dash.”

“...O-Ok.” Dash responded, as she began to sip it through the straw and during her float drinking she got a float-stache.  Seeing it made Twilight giggle a bit.

“I’m… enjoying this time Twilight…” Dash said with a blush, the float-stache covering it.

“So am I, Rainbow,” Twilight nodded.





“Sis, where have you been the past couple days… we’ve been having some trouble filling up orders,” Applebloom told Applejack at the farm.

“Sorry, Applebloom.  Ah had some business with Twi at the Crystal Empire,” Applejack told her sister.

“Well… okay. Well, me and Big Mac managed to fill up the rest of the orders we’ve fallen behind on, we just need you to do ten more baskets in ten minutes,” Applebloom explained.

“Okay.  Ah’ll git right on it,” AJ nodded, but then Applebloom gave her a small hug. 

“Aww… I missed ya sis,” Applebloom smiled.

“...Ah missed ya too, Applebloom,” AJ smiled as well.





Back over with Twilight and Dash, the two were simply finished at Icy Castle, and Twilight was giggling at Dash’s float-stache.

“What?  Do I have something on my face?” Dash asked.

“You got a float-stache,” Twi informed, gigglinggiggling a bit, before whipping it off of Dash.

“Thanks Twi,” Dash smiled.

“No problem,” Twilight replied as they walked on.

“Y’know Twilight, I’m really glad you came to Ponyville, you’re a really good friend,” Dash said, a faint blush forming on her face.

“Thanks Rainbow Dash… I… I’m really glad to have come to Ponyville myself.  You’re a good friend, too,” Twilight responded, not noticing Dash’s blush this time.

Then, a few screams came, and sure enough, it was some Neo-Goumin. “And now, let’s get to work Dash, Gokai… wait… where’s my Mobirate?”

“And my Cellular… wait, we left them in the galleon… didn’t we?” Dash asked, as Twilight hoof-palmed herself.

“Of all the times for us to leave them,” Twilight groaned.

“Don’t worry. We can still take em,” Dash said, but Twi used her magic to hold Dash back until the coast was clear of them to fight.

“You crazy?  If we fight them as ourselves, we’ll be in more trouble than we were before,” Twilight reminded Dash, “Besides, we’re trying to keep our own friends and family safe.”

“Yea… and they’re getting away!” Dash groaned, before seeing there was graffiti on the statue of the mayor, in the following colors, red, blue, yellow, green, pink and silver.

“Okay, what’s the idea of this?” Twilight wondered.

“Get us in more trouble in the eyes of Equestria,” Dash informed.

“What makes you think that?”

Dash then pointed at the red paint which read “The Gokaigers did this.”

“Okay… how do you know it was them who did it, anyway?”

Dash then pointed at paint tracks leading from where the Neo-Goumin left, and when Twi heard someone approach, she teleported herself and Dash back a short distance.

“...Okay, you may have a point there, but there’s no way we can make them blow their cover without blowing our own and getting caught,” Twilight pointed out.

“Twilight, I just came up with an idea. We can just tell Princess Celestia we saw some of those guys vandalize the statue,” Dash said.

“One problem with your plan Dash. The graffiti says we did it, we’d need to catch them in the act or get a picture…”

“Well now what, it’s not like a picture’s just gonna fall outta the sky,” Dash said, and then sure enough, photographic evidence floated right into Dash’s face.

“What the?!” Twilight gawked as Dash looked at the picture and saw it showed the Neo-Goumin indeed in the process of painting the statue, and one in particular writing the message on it in paint.

“Talk about luck. Wonder who snapped this, maybe an answer will fall from the sky,” Dash said, and a scroll then landed on Twi’s horn.

“Maybe this can tell us,” Twilight figured, using her magic to get the scroll off before opening it and reading it. There were only four words: “‘You’re welcome. Princess Luna,’ Cool.”

“Okay, maybe now we can send this picture to Celestia?” Dash figured.

“Yes, yes we may. You know Dash, you’re pretty funny,” Twilight replied with a bit of a giggle.

“...Thanks,” Dash replied with a minor blush.





Back at the library, Spike was back reorganizing the books when Twilight and Dash came in.

“Hey Twilight,” Spike smiled.

“Spike, we have a letter to send to Celestia,” Twilight informed, showing him the letter.

“Okay,” Spike nodded, grabbing his quill pen & a blank scroll.  “What should it say?”

“We already wrote it. You just need to send it,” Twilight replied, holding out a finished scroll.

“Oh… ok,” Spike sighed as he breathed on it, sending the note to Celestia.

“So… now what Twi?” Dash asked.

“Man, you seem eager to hang out Dash, something up?”

“N-No!  N-Nothing at all,” Dash insisted.

“Okay…?”

Twilight shrugged, and Dash couldn’t help but smile as she saw Twilight work on looking through some books.  However, it wasn’t much longer before Spike burped up a message from Celestia.

“Wow… she’s fast with the responses,” Dash noted.

“‘Dear Princess Twilight, I have recently received your message and the photo contained within, and I confess I was quite surprised by what you sent.  However… my belief on the evidence is… iffy. Not sure why I’m like that, I simply am… thank you for the info.  I will take this into consideration along with your warning of the Neo-Zangyack’s true nature, but I may need stronger evidence in the future.  Sincerely yours, Princess Celestia.’  Well… this helped,  I guess,” Twilight sighed.

“Could’ve been better I guess,” Dash added.

“Okay, so now what Dash?” Twilight asked.

“...I wish I knew,” Dash sighed, slumping her head a bit. Then Twilight simply looked at Dash, who smiled.

“Don’t worry… I’m sure we’ll figure something out,” Twilight assured.

“Good, because I wanna hang out with you some more,” Dash admitted.

“Okay then.”





Back up in the Neo-Zangyack Base a huge sneeze echoed. Onichan Jizo was sick.

“Well, isn’t this inconvenient?” Crageson groaned.

“Go rest,” Tankdom told Onichan.

“You bakas know you need me.  No way I’d… I… I… ACHOO!” Onichan responded, sneezing, before Sparklefun came in.

“Don’t worry. I know how to make you better, your old boyfriend once had an illness like this, and then stealing love made him better… before the Gokaigers stopped him. But for us, manipulate love will make you better,”  Sparklefun told her.

“...Whatever… the sooner I’m cured of this the better.” Onichan groaned, as Tearsome led her away.

“Anyone have an Action Commander that can harvest love?” Crageson asked.

“I do indeed,” Sparklefun said, as a violet dragon walked in, this dragon was female in appearance, and having red female armor on top of the violet scales it had, and pink claws, and across it’s chest was an image of a broken heart.

“You called me, Ms. Sparklefun?” the dragon asked.

“Yes Viogron. We need your love manipulation, and to get the esense of love, our leader is sick,” Sparklefun informed.

“At once, m’lady,” the action commander, Viogron, nodded before spreading her wings for a second and then taking her leave.

---

“Dash, are you okay? You’ve wanted to help me with the reorganizing books,” Twilight asked.

“Oh, no reason in particular,” Dash replied, helping out as best as she could, not knowing she placed a book in the wrong section.

“Uh, Dash, that was a history book you put in the kids section there,” Twilight informed.

“Oops.” Dash sighed, changing the section, and then found a Super Sentai book. “I gotta thank you for getting me into the Sentai Books.”

“Oh, no problem Rainbow, at least it was more pleasant than when I got you into Daring Do,” Twilight recalled.

“Yea…” Dash giggled, as she sat down, and then they heard some screaming, “Uh oh… what now?!”

They looked out and saw a kaijin, when suddenly, the GokaiGalleon floated overhead.

“Okay, who called for the Galleon?” Dash wondered.

They then saw GokaiGreen at the crow’s nest, looking around, and then she saw Twilight and Dash. “Hey guys, heads up!”

“Pi-er… GokaiGreen?  What’re you doing?!  Why and how did you bring the Galleon back here?” Twilight asked.

“I went back after the Cakes got home, and I saw you guys forgot your gear, and thus I took off, and here I am, and then you asked me ‘Why and how did you bring the Galleo-’”

“We get it. Pinkie Sense,” Dash sighed.

“Pretty much.”

“Okay, good call Pinkie,” Twilight nodded as she and Dash were given their gear back.

“No ones looking, let’s go Twilight!” Dash smiled, but unknown to them, there was a pony watching them, a yellow Earth Pony in black and yellow, her hair tied into a ponytail style, her eyes covered by black sunglasses and then her Cutie Mark was a black and white symbol that was a sort of circle, cut by a pair of sunglasses with the letters “GB” on the side.

“The new Gokaigers… Masato… please let them have our power…” the Earth Pony whispered.

=GO~KAIGER!=

With that, Twilight and Dash quickly became GokaiRed and Silver, following Green to the sight of the monster attack.  Viogran was seen roaring, and starting to shift around violet energy around the Cakes, manipulating their love.

“What’s going on here?” Red wondered.

“Ah… Gokaigers… I got a little surprise for ya!” Viogran said, and then took out scissors

“Why does this feel familiar all of a sudden?” Silver noted before the Cakes began to… bicker?!  “Oh no… this is just like Debo Jakireen from Kyoryuger, where it ruins bonds with a snip.  Red!  Green!  We need to destroy those scissors before anyone else’s relationships are ruined!”

“Wait for us!” Applejack shouted, as she, Fluttershy and Rarity charged, and then turned into Gokaiger form, not noticing the Earth Pony snap some pictures of them as they did so.

“Well well, look who we have here?” Viogron smirked.

“Fix the Cakes bond!” Green shouted.

“No can do.  My high commander’s not feeling well, so I need to get enough manipulated love to cure her,” the dragon responded, preparing her scissors.

“Get going everypony!” Red shouted.

“Gokai Change!” Green and Pink announced.

=GOU~RAIGER!=

With that, some symbols appeared before GokaiGreen was now donned in a crimson suit that had a kabuto beetle motif, gold accenting the boots, gloves, shoulders,  helmet, belt, and even chest as the hind legs were covered in a black bodysuits and the forelegs were silver.  GokaiPink appeared now in a similar suit, except what was crimson was a navy blue, and what was resembling a kabuto beetle instead portrayed a stag beetle.

“Gokai Change!”

=KYO~RYUGER!=

With that, Blue and Yellow became two Kyoryugers, except Blue turned into a cyan-colored senshi themed after an ankylosaurus, and Yellow became a gray senshi themed after a pachycephalosaurus, yet the “teeth” of the symbol on their chests weren’t yellow like the main group’s; it was instead a dull gold.

“Okay Dash, let’s go pair style like the others.” Red said, as Silver got a tiny blush under her helmet.

“Alrighty…”

“Gokai Change!”

=GO~-ON WINGS!=

Thus, Red transformed into Go-On Gold, and Silver into Go-On Silver.

“Huh… new changes.  Let’s see if you can keep up,” Viogron smirked before using her siccors as blade weapons, and then Gokai-KabutoRaiger, charged with her weapon, the Horn Breaker, which was a Kabuto-themed blaster.

Gokai-Kuwagaraiger charged in as well, and helped Gokai-KabutoRaiger with her Stag Break, a sort of pincer-like weapon, attempting to shatter the scissors, but failed.

“No way…” Gokai-Kuwagaraiger gawked.

“Let us try! Ankydon Hammer!”

“Bunpachy Striker!”

With that, Gokai-KyoryuCyan summoned a huge hammer with a head that was yellow and having Ankydon’s symbol while Gokai-KyoryuGray now wielded a chain array, striking the enemy with powerful blows.

“Combine them now!” Gokai-KyoryuCyan commanded, connecting the Ankydon Hammer to the Bunpachy Striker’s hilt.

“Wow!” Gokai-KyoryuGray gawked.

“Now let’s see if this’ll work,” Gokai-KyoryuCyan responded hitting the ball part of the Bunpachy Striker with the Ankydon Hammer’s head, launching it at Viogron’s scissors.  It managed to crack it, and then Gokai-Go-On Gold and Gokai-Go-On Silver charged with the Jet Daggers, both managing to cause more damage with the sudden temperature increase and decrease on the blades, causing them to shatter, and the Cakes nearby suddenly stopped bickering.

“Rule 1, always carry a back-up generator!” Viogran chuckled, summoning a second one, and it caused the Cakes to go right back to bickering.

“OH!  You’ve gotta be KIDDING me!” Gokai-Go-On Silver groaned.

“Rule 2, stop heroes before problems arise,” Viogran shouted, charging up the scissors, before tossing them right at Gokai-Go-On Gold.

“Look out Twi!” Gokai-Go-On Silver shouted, knocking Gokai-Go-On Gold out of the way, and the shot forced her out of Gokai Change mode, and then out of Gokaiger mode, and thus Dash was now knocked out.

“RAINBOW DASH!” Gokai-Go-On Gold gasped.

“Man, that was fun! We should really do this again Gokai-losers!” Viogron chuckled before zooming off.

The Gokaigers changed back to normal Gokaiger mode, and tried to shake Dash awake.

“Rainbow!  RAINBOW!” GokaiRed shouted, shaking Dash the most.





“What happened to Rainbow?” Cadence asked, as the group returned to the Crystal Empire.

“Some sort of beast manipulating emotions did this. Said something about manipulating love, and since that’s your field…” Twilight informed, holding Dash with magic.

“Well… I’ll need more of a description of how this thing manipulated love and the effects,” Cadence informed, taking Dash from Twilight with her magic, placing the pegasus down next to her throne.

“It made the Cakes bicker,” Pinkie informed.

“How?  I don’t know of any creature who could do something like that aside from Changelings who devour love.”

“...It seemed to use some sort of… giant scissors somehow… and when it snipped, it looked like the love bond between Mr. and Mrs. Cake just… well… broke,” Twilight explained as best as she could.

“Hmm… well, what happened to Rainbow Dash?”

“The monster tried to attack me, but Dashie saved me taking the blow herself!” Twilight answered.

“Wait… ‘Dashie’?” Cadence asked.

“Yea, that’s my nickname for her!” Pinkie added.

“Sorry Pinkie… it just slipped out…” Twilight responded.

“...Uh huh,” AJ replied, not buying it.

“Regardless, she’s been out cold almost an hour,” Twilight continued.

“Oh… dear…” Cadence gawked.  “...I’ll do what I can.”

“Thank you,” Twilight smiled.

“You’re welcome,” Cadence nodded before turning to the rest of Twilight’s friends, “Could you please leave us for now?  I must talk to Twilight… alone.”

They all exchanged a look, before leaving the princess sisters-in-law.

“Something up?” Twilight asked.

“Mind if I ask what you think of your friend Dash?” Cadence told Twilight.

“Huh?  Why bring that up, Cadence?” Twilight asked, confused.

“Just curious,” Cadence assured as Twilight began to think.

“Well… despite the fact that she sorta annoyed me back when we first met, I… found her to be a very good friend, and… somepony… special to me,” Twilight said, a bit of a blush forming. “But don’t get any ideas that I like her, like her!”

“...Sure~ Twilight,” Cadence smirked, about to giggle at what she feels Twilight’s true feelings to Dash were.

“Ugh… it’s not funny.” Twilight groaned.

“Sorry Twilight… it’s hard to for me to think straight at the idea of you possibly falling in love with another mare,” Cadence added.

“Not like it’s illegal or anything,” Twilight added.

“True, true.  But I would’ve thought you’d have given a stallion a better chance in Ponyville.”

“Hey, you know there aren't that many who stand out in such a rural town.”

“And then there’s Flash Sentry,” Cadence added with a tiny giggle.

“For the thousandth time, I DON’T like him that way!” Twilight insisted.

“...Sorry…” Cadence sighed, “I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.”

“Why’d you even ask me what I think about Dash anyway?”

“You just seemed to worried was all,” Cadence answered, “Even more worried than you’d be for a friend.  Trust me, I know these things.  Remember?  Princess of Love?”

“Yea… you know, I really missed you when you stopped watching me…” Twilight said, a small sigh escaping from her.

“I did too, Twilight,” the elder Princess replied, wrapping her wing around Twilight.

They smiled, and outside the door, came an “awww” from the others.

“Told ya’ll it would be a good idea to watch them,” AJ replied.

“Yes… but I’m still unsure if it’s okay for us to pry on them like this,” Rarity pointed out.

“Don’t worry, they won’t know. So… what do we do now?” Pinkie asked.

“...I hope Rainbow Dash will be okay,” Fluttershy sighed.

“Yea… might as well check the shops and see what we need,” AJ figured.

The four then took their leave, and headed out into town.





“Be at ease Jizo-sama, I have the love you need to heal up,” Viogron said, handing the love in a soup form.

“...Thank you, Viogron,” Onichan groaned as she sat in bed before taking a sip. “It’s not enough…”

“I’ll be sure to get some more for you, Jizo-sama.  The question remaining though is… where to find a love more potent?”

“Dunno…”





“So girls… what do you think of Twidash?” Pinkie asked.

“Huh?” the others asked.

“It’s a pairing name, combine Twilight and Dashie’s names, and boom!  Twidash,” Pinkie explained.

“Okay… let us pretend the idea of two mares being a couple doesn’t sound… out there, and ask why in the world would you be mentally pairing them?” Rarity inquired.

“C’mon!  Don’t tell me you haven’t seen Dashie go googly-eyed when she looked at Twilight,” Pinkie responded.

“When was that?” Rarity asked.

“An example, when we went to the Grand Galloping Gala back in Season 1,” Pinkie said.

“What season?” the other three asked in confusion.

“Regardless, Dashie went all googly-eyed when she saw Twilight’s outfit,” Pinkie explained, “Didn’t you notice that?”

“Actually, now that you mention it… yea,” Fluttershy added.

“Did she really, Fluttershy?” Rarity asked, surprised.

“Yea… but I thought it was her simply admiring your hard made dresses.”

“I see…”

“Ah had a feeling that’d be the case; that silly filly’s not really one for fashion that much,” AJ admitted.

“Why in the world would Dash like Twilight that way? They’re sorta like opposites,”

“But that does explain why Dash rushed in and intercepted that attack,”

“It takes real courage to protect those you love,” a new voice added.

“Huh?!” the four mares gawked as they turned to see the yellow Earth Pony.

“Who’re you?” AJ demanded to know.

The Earth Pony simply showed them her Cutie Mark, which matched the symbol of the 36th Super Sentai team perfectly.

“Wait… that mark…” Rarity gawked, somehow recognizing the mark before pulling out one of the Go-Buster keys and seeing the symbol of it in Key form.

“Ore wa… Usami Yoko, Yellow Buster,” the Earth Pony answered as a faint image of Yellow Buster appeared over the mare’s body for a second.

“You?!” the four mares gawked.

“...What’re you doing here, anyway?” Rarity asked.

“To tell you that you will get our Grand Power, but… only your out cold team member can get it,” Yoko informed.

“Okay…?” the four Gokaigers said confused.





Later, Dash found herself in some sort of ruins, one she recognized very well.

“Wait… this place… it can’t be… the place where Gai got his powers from the original Dragonranger, TimeFire, and AbareKiller?!” she gawked.

“You’re pretty smart,” a voice added, as Dragonranger walked in.

“Oh my gosh!  The Dragonranger, Burai?!” Dash gasped with surprise before realizing something, “Wait… you’re dead… does that mean… *gasp* I’m dead?!”

“No. We just borrowed your spirit for a moment to talk. Yeesh, the Gokaiger powers landed in the hands of ponies… girl ponies,” TimeFire said, walking in.

“Hey!  What’s that supposed to mean?  Are we not good enough to use your powers?  Furthermore, you gave your powers to an OTAKU of all people!” Dash responded.

“Don’t mind him,” AbareKiller said, as he walked in next. “He’s just… surprised.”

“I see… but… may I ask why you showed up before me now of all times?” Dash asked AbareKiller.

“You were out cold, seemed like the best time,” another voice added in, the four were soon joined by the source of it, who happened to be a Go-Buster, one with a black bodysuit, tons of golden armor and a Kabuto beetle motif.

“Beet Buster… sugoi. Also, did you know that you look sorta like…” Dash started.

“MagiYellow,” TimeFire said.

“Yea, I’m aware of that,” Beet Buster nodded.

“You’re the only one without a kyoryu theme of any kind Beet Buster,” another voice added as a silver brachiosaur-themed Kyoryuger walked up.

“OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh!  THE KYORYUSILVER, TORIN!!” Dash gawked with amazement.

“Good day. You’re the current GokaiSilver,” KyoryuSilver greeted Dash.

“Yea, that’s right,” Dash nodded.

“You’re a good senshi, but know, you are not dead. But, we do have questions for you. Answer them correctly, you’ll be rewarded our Grand Powers… answer them wrong… and you’ll be staying here a while,” KyoryuSilver instructed, making Dash gulp in fear.

“Question 1, what would you do if your friends were discovered to be criminals?” Dragonranger asked.

“I would stand by their side, no matter what Celestia does to us!” Dash insisted.

“Very well spoken,” Dragonranger nodded.

“Next question, if your friends turned on you, what would you do?” TimeFire asked next.

“I would admittedly feel sad at first… but I’d remind them of the good times we had… I’d never turn on my friends… even if they turned on me,” Dash responded.

“Interesting,” TimeFire nodded.

“Question number three, if your friends died… would you still remain true in your friendship to them and carry out any last wishes they had?” AbareKiller inquired.

“My friends are the world to me… if they died, and I could fulfill any last request, I would pour every ounce of my heart into it!” Dash nodded.

“Question four, if you were the only Gokaiger with your memories of being one, what would you do with your friends?,” Beet Buster asked.

“...I would protect them no matter what!  Gokaigers or not, they are still my friends, and I won’t let them get hurt,” Dash answered sternly.

“Those friends mean a lot to you.” Beet Buster added.

“More than the world itself… Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie… Twilight,” Dash said to herself, getting KyoryuSilver’s attention.

“Okay… final question.  You mentioned your friends, but paused when you mentioned your leader. What are your thoughts and feelings about your leader, Twilight?” KyoryuSilver inquired, getting Dash’s attention, as she was quite shocked he brought that up.

“Well…” Dash started, pausing to think “...she’s… one of my closest friends aside from Fluttershy.  But… I feel… that she’s… amazing. Twilight really opened my mind to new things, kindness, and… then Twilight herself is kind, sweet, beautiful… her voice pleasing to the ear… and… I don’t think I’d ask for a better friend, or a greater leader for the Gokaigers.”

“Is there anything more…?” KyoryuSilver added, his voice reminding Dash of her missing father.

“Yes… I… never told anypony this… but… I developed a… sort of crush on Twilight during her time in Ponyville… and… I love her…” Dash admitted, and a new voice was taken back. 

It was a hiding senshi, working to make sure Dash didn’t see him.

“Well then… I don’t see much of a need for this anymore,” KyoryuSilver replied as he turned to Dragonranger, both senshi nodded before reverting into their normal forms.

“Rainbow Dash, your loyalty to your friends knows no endings, or bounds. And the love for your leader burns brightly, you are worthy of our Grand Powers,” Burai told her, much to her amazement.

She just gawked at the news before the five held out five glowing orbs, each containing the symbols that represented their respective teams.  Dash in her shock just accepted the five Greater Powers.

“Good luck out there… GokaiSilver,” Torin/KyoryuSilver told her. She then floated away, and was back in the Crystal Palace, finally waking up.

“Oh man… a dream?” Dash wondered, but then, she looked at her forelegs, in which were the orbs of the Grand Powers.  “No way… it wasn’t a dream.  ...But then… that means...”

“Rainbow Dash?” Twilight asked, getting Dash’s attention as she looked to see both Twilight and Cadence looking at her.

“Oh… Twi… Princess Cadence… uh… hi…” Dash responded, a bit surprised and nervous. A smile formed on Twilight’s face, as she rushed over and pulled Dash into a hug.  “Ugh… Uh, Twi?  You okay?”

“I was worried…” Twilight responded, letting go.

“...” Dash was just so taken back by Twilight’s sudden hug, she just smiled.

“Um… Rainbow Dash?  ...What are you holding?” Cadence asked, snapping Dash out of her daze.

“Five more Grand Powers,” Dash told her and Twilight.

“But… how’d you get ahold of those?” Twilight asked, surprised.

“Met with five deceased Sentai senshi. And… one of them… reminded me of my missing father.”

“Your father?  ...You hardly said a word about him,” Twilight realized.

“He used to be a Wonderbolt. But one day, during my seventh birthday… he just vanished, we looked all over for him, but… he was gone. My mom raised me on her own after that,” Dash sighed.

“And… what happened to your mother?  Is she still alive?” Cadence asked.

“Yea. She’s alive, but I haven’t talked with her much…” Dash sighed.

“I see…” Twilight nodded.  “...I’m just glad you’re okay… I was worried that that monster killed you.”

“I’m fine… but I’m happy that you were hopeful that I was okay,” Dash smiled.

“I never said that,” Twilight responded.

“Your eyes told me,” Dash giggled, making Twilight blush a bit as Cadence noticed.

“Oh ho!  I see a couple lovebirds~!” she said in a sing-song voice.

Dash was flustered, and Twilight was sorta annoyed.

“So… uh… anyway, there’s good news with us obtaining these,” Dash responded, standing up, “Now I can get access to my mech, and we can double our power in battle!”

However then… Cadence began to cough, feeling ill.

“Cadence!” Twilight gasped, “What’s wrong?!”

“Something’s… draining the love… from the Crystal Empire…” Cadence groaned in pain.

“Oh no… that creature’s back again, isn’t it?” Dash figured.

“It’s a lot worse!” Twilight said, showing that Viogran had grown.

“Already?!  We haven’t even gotten the chance to destroy it at ground level, now we need Gokai-Oh?!” Dash gawked.

“Twilight!” Pinkie shouted, rushing in, as GokaiGreen.

“We already noticed Pinkie.  I’ll be right there,” Twilight responded, “Gokai Change!”

=GO~KAIGER!=

=GO~KAIGALLEON!=

“Kaizoku Gattai!”

“Kansei Gokai-Oh!”

With that, Gokai-Oh stood before the Action Commander, blades at the ready.

“All the love in Equestira… is for Jizo-sama!” Viogron roared as she charged with her scissors, which Gokai-Oh attempted to stop with its own blades.

“Hang on guys! Gokai-” Dash announced, ready to henshin, when the GokaiCellular was blasted out of her hand, and she saw Tankdom with a blaster.

“I won’t let you do that, Gokaiger,” Tankdom informed.

“Dare da?” Dash demanded, saying “Who are you” in Neghiponese.

“Ore wa Tankdom, and I will not let you stop our Action Commander!” Tankdom shouted, aiming his blaster at Dash. She growled and took out the GokaiSpear.

“Like I’ll let you stop me!” Dash responded before charging at Tankdom. When Tankdom fired at Dash, she used her spear as a ricochet, knocking the blasts away, and even cutting right THROUGH a blast with ease.

“NANI?!” Tankdom gasped before Dash managed to slash right at him, damaging some of his armor somehow.

“Ha!” Dash announced, using her spear like a vault, and kicking Tankdom to the ground.

“Grrrr… ONORE!” he roared, shooting right back up, blasting at Dash again.

Dash however, avoided all of the blasts like nothing. “Okay bub, you’re going down!” Dash shouted, charging forward with her spear, only for it to be reflected, and get blasted at point blank range.

However, Dash was unharmed by the blast, and simply ready to attack.

“Is that all you got?!” Dash scoffed, as she slashed away at the commander, growling angrily. Dash then jumped up to avoid more blasts, and then tricked him into firing at the enemy kaijin, giving her a chance to retrieve her Cellular and Ranger Key.  “Fooled ya!  Gokai Change!”

=GO~KAIGER!=

GokaiSilver rushed forward, and slashed away at Tankdom. However, Tankdom jumped up, did three mid-air flips, and while still upside down from the third flip, began to spin in a counter-clockwise spiral, blasting away, Silver then gasped at this.

“That’s. My. Dad’s. Signature. MOVE!” Silver shouted, slashing away angrily. “How do you know that?!”

“...I never met your father, but I am good at observing,” Tankdom answered.

“How’d he know dad’s move… and why did he seem… familiar…?” she wondered when...

“DASH! We could use some help!”  Pink shouted.

“Huh?” Silver gawked, snapping out of her daze.

“...I’ll leave you to live… this time,” Tankdom informed Dash before vanishing, to her surprise.

“All over it! Now with the Grand Powers of Timeranger, I can call in my mech!” Silver smiled, as she readied TimeFire’s Key.

“From beyond the future, come forth! GoZyuDrill!” Silver called out.

=GOU~ZYUDRILL!=

With that, a giant blue, gold, and silver jet-like vehicle flew in from a time portal, a large t-rex head for a cockpit, and a drill on the front.  Silver then jumped up into the cockpit, ready to charge her mecha at the Action Commander.

“Alright, here I co-... ara?  Wait a second…” Silver responded, soon taking notice of how the giant Viogron was moving. “What…?”

“Dash?!  What’s the hold up?!  Aren’t you gonna show how awesome your mech is?” GokaiRed asked.

“Uh guys… there’s two of this guy… looks like we’ve been duped! But… the big one has to be dealt with,” Silver answered.

“Right.  Ikuze!”

With that, the five from Gokai-Oh jumped out of the mecha, to the ground as GouZyuDrill flew over and took the charge.

“Hey, where are you going?!” Viogron demanded.

“You’re fighting Gooookai… Silver!” shouted, ramming right into the Action Commander. Then GokaiSilver took out the Dragonranger Key.

“Now, you face the might of the first Dino Sentai’s Grand Power! GouZyuRex!”

=GOU~ZYUREX!=

Thus, the mech transformed into an old-school-style T-Rex before tackling the giant Viogron and whipping her with GouZyuRex’s tail.

Down on the ground Crystal Ponies were lying around, looking sorta sick.  The Gokaigers arrived to witness this scene, and they were horrified.

“What are you doing to them?!” Red demanded, seeing Viogran roaming around, now looking at Yoko.

“Just harvesting love to help cure Jizo-sama, and these Crystal Ponies… ohhohoho they are chock-FULL of the essence, more potent than any love I have seen ever before!” Viogron announced proudly.

Yoko simply scoffed, before jumping VERY high into the air, and landing a kick right onto the kaijin.

“Nani?!” Viogron gasped, surprised a pony had such powers.

“That really is Yellow Buster. Oh! Let’s try using the Go-Buster powers!” Pink suggested, taking out a Silver key.

“Sounds good.  Ikuze!” Red shouted as the other four pulled out the remaining Go-Busters keys.

“GOKAI CHANGE!”

=GO~-BUSTERS!=

A data field had begun to surround the five changing their suits into that of the Go-Busters, which all had black bodysuits, but Red, Blue, and Yellow had more of a special ops agent vibe with their main colors acting as tops, boots, and gloves while they had silver to accent them, and all the Go-Busters had sunglasses-like visors.  Red had a cheetah theme, Blue a gorilla, and Yellow a rabbit.  Green became Beet Buster while Pink transformed into a mostly silver warrior with some metallic blue accents that had a stag beetle motif. However, their helmets had yet to fully form when all five announced…

“Let’s Morphin’!” they all shouted, and pressed a button on the Go-Buster henshin devices, and then their helmets were completely formed.

“Red Buster!” 

“Blue Buster!” 

“Yellow Buster!” 

“Beet Buster!” 

“Stag Buster!” 

“Tokumei Sentai… Go-Busters!”

“Busters!  Ready~...” Gokai-Red Buster began when they all announced one word: “GO!”

They call charged forward, with Gokai-Stag Buster running in front of Gokai-Beet Buster.

“Hey, don’t hog the spotlight!” Gokai-Beet Buster responded, moving her aside.

They all knocked Viogron down, easily knocking him to the ground.  They then pressed the symbol on their chests.

=TRANSPORT!=

This quickly summoned up the Go-Buster’s sword weapon, the Shogun Blade, and slashed away at Viogron.

“Heh, they’re good,” Yoko commented.

The Gokai-Go-Busters continued to attack, when Red Buster’s Key shimmered. “Hmm…”

=CALL MODE!=

“Hey Dash, Red Buster’s Key is glowing. You said you met Beet Buster?”

“Yea, I did!  And got the Go-Busters’ Greater Power from him!  Why’d you ask?” Silver responded, still having GouZyuRex take on the giant Viogron.

-Think you can use the Go-Buster’s Grand Power in there! Get Red Buster’s Key and see what happens.- Gokai-Red Buster told Silver, as she did so, getting Red Buster’s Ranger Key.

“Heh!  Whatever you say, Red.  Ranger Key, SET!  LET’S GO!” she shouted, inserting the Ranger Key.

=GO~ZYUBUSTER!=

With that, GouZyuRex suddenly got into a quadrupedal position, horns grew out the top of its head, the tail split into two so it had a normal tail, but the drill-tipped parts shifted onto the back, forming wings with the drill part as the tips of the wings.

“Kansei, GoZyuBuster!” GokaiSilver shouted before basking in the glory of this mode that she had not known about prior.

“DIE GOKAIGER!” the Giant Viogron roared as it charged at GoZyuBuster.

“Onore you Gokai- er… Go-Bust-... er… what do I call you?!” the ground Viogron asked.

=TRANSPORT!=

=LIOBUSTER~!=

“Gokai-Go-Busters,” Gokai-Red Buster answered, holding a red, yellow, blue, gold, silver, and black blast of sorts, with the whole thing having the theme of a lion, and the sides resembling a lion’s face,  “Let’s finish her, team!”

=IT’S TIME FOR FINAL BUSTER~!=

The energy charged red, and then they pulled the trigger, and the blast become a red aura cheetah.

“Onore… Gokai… Go… BUSTERS~!” Viogron screamed in pain after the blast hit her, then she fell and exploded in defeat, but the giant Viogron still stood tall.

“Fire!” Silver shouted, as GouZyuBuster blew out fire breath, and the Gokai-Go-Busters changed back to normal Gokaiger mode to watch.

“...Go get ‘er, Silver,” GokaiRed smiled proudly under her helmet.

“Oh I will!” Silver smirked, taking out AbareKiller’s Key. “Now, come forth, the Grand Power of the Abarangers! GouZyuZin!”

=GOU~ZYUZIN!=

And so, GouZyuBuster reverted to a bipedal stance, and then formed what GokaiSilver knew was the original third form of this mech.

“Kansei!  Gou~ZyuZin!” Silver shouted before the mecha posed with it’s drill arm ready for battle.

“Nice! Four awesome henkeis!” GokaiRed said amazed, causing Silver to blush a bit under her helmet.

“Aww~” Silver smiled before the giant Viogron roared, getting her attention back.  “Uh oh.”

GouZyuZin struck with the drill, knocking Viogron onto the ground, and then Silver smirked. “The finisher! Gokai~ QUADRUPLE Drill Dream!”

And so, alongside GouZyuZin, aura versions of GouZyuDrill, GouZyuRex, and even GouZyuBuster stood with it before preparing their drills.  GouZyuDrill just flew forward, GouZyuRex turned and spun his tail, GouZyuBuster flew and turned his wings into a drill in a dive bomb pose, then finally GouZyuZin punched with his drill arm, the for drills connecting at one point before impacting hard onto the giant Viogron, forcing it to drop to the ground, and explode in defeat.

“Shutdown, kanryou!” GokaiSilver smirked, executing giving a thumbs up.

From nearby, Yoko watched with a smile, as she then walked off, disappearing, only noticed by Fluttershy.  Then, after Dash came back down, the Gokaigers/Mane 6 looked to see the Crystal Ponies return to normal, get up to their hooves, and then approached the six.

“You… you’ve saved our lives!” one of the Crystal Ponies gawked, “Thank you!”

The entire crowd cheered for the Mane 6, happy for what they did.

“Wow… they trust us!” Fluttershy gleamed.





Later, in Cloudsdale, Rainbow Dash and Twilight were taking a mini-break from their escapades to have a nice quiet time in Dash’s old hometown, and they even arrived at her childhood home.

“Wow… your house looks amazing,” Twilight smiled, as Dash knocked on the door.

“Thanks Twilight,” Dash nodded before they stood waiting, until the door opened, revealing a somewhat older mare with the same mane and eye color as Dash, but her coat was a bright pink, and her Cutie Mark showed a rainbow colored tornado coming out of a white cloud.

“Hi Mom,” Dash smiled.

“...Dashie…” the older mare smiled before coming out and hugging Dash, “Oh… I’ve missed you my little filly…”

“Yea… I’m sorry I couldn’t visit often,” Dash apologized as they let go of the hug.

“It’s okay,” her mom smiled before she noticed Twilight, “Who’s your friend?”

“This is my best friend, Princess Twilight Sparkle,” Dash answered before her mom gasped.

“P-P-P-Princess?!” she gawked and stuttered before bowing before Twilight.

“You don’t have to bow,” Twilight said.

“Anyway, Twi, this is my mother Sora Storm,” Dash introduced.

“A pleasure to meet you, ma’am,” Twilight smiled.

“Oh right! Twilight Sparkle, in my little Dashie’s letters home, you’re the one mostly talked about.” Dash’s mother, Sora Storm, informed.

“Really?” Twilight gawked with surprise as Dash tried to hide a small blush.

“Mom…” Dash groaned.

“Sorry, sweetie.  I can’t help it when I hear my lil’ filly is…” she started when Dash simply lead her inside, and was awestruck. 

“Wow… it looked so much bigger…” Dash giggled.

“I decided to remodel after you left,” Sora Storm informed her daughter. Twilight walked in, and saw a picture hanging by the doorway, of a filly Rainbow Dash, a younger Sora Storm and a colt with a blue coat while his mane was sky-blue and his eyes were green, along with him having a teal lightning bolt Cutie Mark.

“Who’s this?” Twilight asked, and then both Dash and Sora looked at the picture and got a bit sad. 

“That’s my husband… Firefly Spectrum,” Sora sighed, “...He went missing… years ago, when Dash was just a filly.”

“He… he never saw me… get my Cutie Mark…” Dash said, sobbing before her mom brought her closer with her wing.

“Oh… I-I’m sorry,” Twilight apologized.

She then saw another picture, one of a filly Dash, and her father in a Wonderbolt suit.

“Was he what inspired you to try and join the Wonderbolts?” Twilight asked. 

“Yea…” Dash informed.

“...He must’ve been one great stallion,” Twi figured.

“He was. Firefly disappeared on Dashie’s seventh birthday,” Sora sighed.

“...I see…” Twilight nodded.

“This is why… I… don’t visit much… memories of daddy come into my mind… and I can’t help but cry…” Dash whimpered as Sora wrapped her wing around Dash to comfort her, but then, Dash felt a second larger wing wrap around her before turning to see… Twilight?

“Don’t be sad, Rainbow.  Just remember the fun times you had with him,” Twilight insisted, trying to comfort Dash. She finally stopped crying, and Twilight moved a cloth up to Dash’s eyes and wiped away the tears.  “And if that doesn’t help… I’ll be here to help,” Twilight added, making Dash smile.

“Thank you…” Dash smiled, and Sora smiled, and looked over at a picture of herself and Dash on her tenth birthday, both happy.

“My childhood was never a happy one…” Dash sighed. “I was bullied, teased, and made no better when my mom tried to date… the one she found… abused me…” Dash whimpered,  the painful memories returning to her mind, and she tried to shove them out.

“Dashie… please don’t cry now… you’ll make me cry if you do,” Sora nearly whimpered.

“Sorry mom…” Dash sighed, as she looked, and saw the familiar stairs that would lead to her room, and she walked up, and saw some of her childhood toys around the room.

“I knew you wouldn’t have wanted me to throw them out… so I didn’t,” Sora informed. Dash giggled, seeing a rainbow colored teddy bear, and then Dash hugged it. “You’re the best, mom.”

“You’re welcome, my little Dashie,” Sora smiled. Twilight walked up and smiled, and then giggled at the mare.

“What?” Dash asked.

“You’re so cute Dashie…” Twilight admitted, before she blushed. ‘Did I really just say that?’

“...R-Really?” Dash blushed in response as her mom looked at the two mare with a smile of her own.

“I’ll leave you two alone for a bit,” Sora replied as she closed Dash’s door, leaving the two mares alone.  The two friends just stared at each other for a bit, blushes still obvious on their faces.

To be continued…
