Pikatwig: A Super Sentai story… what a foreign concept.

KKD: Yea… but Pika here is actually doing a Shinkenger Story. Been a while, hasn't it?

Pikatwig: Yea. Anyway, this story is actually going to focus on a new cast, akin to the amazing, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, 100 Years After.

KKD: That'd be pretty cool. Although, I imagine that this is gonna be more than the simple One Shot like that amazing work was, right?

Pikatwig: True. Anyway, shall you do the disclaimers aibou?

KKD: Sure thing.

DISCLAIMERS: We don't own anything in this story except for any OC characters we come up with along with any other ideas we'd have in store for it. The rest of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger and Super Sentai in general belong to Toei, Bandai, and their respective owners.

(Some Years Prior)

Sometime after the last battle of those known as the Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, the Lord and leader of the team, a man with black hair, black eyes, a red jacket with a black shirt, blue jeans and then blue and black shoes, was standing before one of his vassals. This vassal was a girl with wavy black hair, green eyes, a yellow top with a white jacket, white skirt and yellow high heels, and she was looking rather surprised by what was going on.

"Kotoha… I always felt something… special with you. But I never knew how happy you made me feel back when we first met… but now… I can no longer hide it," the man answered, pulling out a small black box before opening it, revealing a ring with a gold band, a white gem, and on the back was the kanji for earth encrusted on it.

"T-T-T-T-Tono-sama… he really is in love with Kotoha!" a voice muttered in shock, which came from a man with brown hair, green eyes, a blue shirt, gray jeans and blue shoes, and a really shocked expression on his face.

"That's a surprise," the woman next to him with long dark brown hair, blue eyes, wearing a pink jacket, white and yellow shirt, and short gray shorts with pink boots added.

"Well… didn't see that coming," a man with brown hair, brown eyes, wearing a green jacket, black pants and green converse shrugged in response.

"Go on Take-chan… ask her…" the man with short black hair, a white and black spotted headband, brown eyes, a loose top with navy lines in the design of some woven basket pattern, trimmed with gold, beige shorts, and sandals smiled, a tear almost falling from his eye.

The one who was the most shocked about this was the older man with balding black hair, brown eyes that were currently super wide, a beige kimono with a white top underneath, and socks under his sandals.

"Hanaori Kotoha… will you marry me?" the man in red, Takeru, asked Kotoha, causing the older man to gasp before fainting.

"He asked her…" the person in gold gawked.

"Shh.. Genta, we don't want them to know we're watching…" the girl in pink informed.

"Oh, gomen Mako," he responded.

"...yes… Yes I will, Shiba Takeru-sama!" Kotoha smiled, with Takeru putting the ring on her.

"She said yes," Mako giggled.

"What a wondrous day," the male in blue smiled.

"So Mako-chan, will you help with wedding ceremony?" Kotoha asked, making everyone but Mako gasp.

"Sure thing Kotoha… wait, you knew we were back here?" Mako asked.

"The entire time," Takeru informed.

"Oh…" the others replied before laughing nervously, which turned into a shared laughter all throughout amongst the group, even the normally stoic Takeru couldn't help but laugh.

"I love that story Okaa-san," a young girl smiled this girl having her mother's hair, Takeru's eyes, and was currently wearing yellow pajamas.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, Eri-chan," the girl's mom, Kotoha, smiled before she put her daughter in bed.

"So… that Jii person… he's the same Jii that's around helping us, right?" the young girl, Eri, inquired.

"Hai."

"Tomorrow night… can you tell me the wedding story Okaa-san?" Eri asked as her mom tucked her in.

"Sure, Eri-chan. But right now, it's time for you to shut your eyes and go to sleep." Kotoha told her daughter, who nodded and fell asleep.

Kotoha kissed her on the forehead before leaving the room with the lights off. She then walked off and saw Takeru, who sighed.

"Sometimes… it's not easy to put her to sleep," Takeru sighed.

"Ai-chan?" Kotoha checked.

"Yea," he nodded.

Kotoha just smiled at her husband, and he couldn't help but smile back. Kotoha then took out her flute and began to play a tune.

Act 1: A New Generation, New Shinkengers

"Onee-chan… are you awake?" Eri asked a door, knocking on it.

"Ugh… not now…" a voice responded from the other end.

"It's Saturday…" Eri informed, and this made her older sister jump out of her bed and smile. She opened the door, revealing her hair to be straight like their dad's, but she had their mom's green eyes, and she was currently wearing a red shirt with a black jacket, a red skirt, and black sandals.

"It's Gold Sushi Day!" the older girl giggled with a smile, "We're gonna go see Yoko-chan!"

"Yea, Ai-nee-chan, I can't wait," Eri giggled.

"You know you two will need to get dressed first, right?" Takeru informed as the two girls saw their parents walk out to see them.

"I'm already dressed Otou-san," Ai informed.

"Uh… Okaa-san… can you help me pick out my clothes… I don't know what to pick," Eri sighed, seeing she was still in her pajamas.

"Of course, Eri-chan. Koi," Kotoha smiled, leading her back to her room.

"Otou-san, it's Saturday!" a girl giggled, going to her parent's room, this girl having blonde hair, green eyes, and currently wearing a golden dress, and she began to nudge her dad, who was asleep. "Otou-san, it's Saturday! The Shiba family's gonna be here!"

"Huh… what?" her father, Genta, groaned as he struggled to get up, "What is it Yoko?"

"It's Saturday, the Shiba family's gonna be here soon! Come on wake up!" the girl smiled.

"Yosh, yosh! I'm getting up already," Genta yawned, as Yoko smiled and rushed over to get the shop ready to open for the day.

"So Otou-san, Okaa-san, I'm curious to know why we always go to Gold Sushi on Saturdays," Eri informed as Kotoha helped her into a yellow jacket.

"The owner is an old friend of ours, Eri-chan. And the reason we go on Saturdays is because we got married on a Saturday, and Genta finally got his business to go big on the same Saturday." Kotoha informed.

"Wow… so it's something extra special for you two, hai?"

"That's right," Takeru nodded as Eri walked out, now wearing a yellow jacket, white shirt, gray shorts with yellow sneakers.

"...H-How do I look?" Eri asked.

"Really cute sis," Ai smiled.

"Thanks…" Eri blushed.

"Now let's get going," Takeru told the others as they walked outside before he and Kotoha pulled out red phones of sorts, folding it so a brush tip came out on one end and then held it up into the air.

Then, they wrote the Kanji for Horse before a swipe of the hand made the two kanji transform into the real thing, ready to be ridden.

"SUGOI!" Eri gawked, rushing over to pet the horse with a yellow reigns. "So kawaii…"

"You're always easily amazed when we do this, Eri-chan," Kotoha smiled before helping her up onto the horse as Takeru helped Ai onto the horse with the red reigns.

Thus, the family took off for Gold Sushi, while Jii watched them and simply smiled at the happy family.

Meanwhile, some miles away from the Shiba house, the man in green from before, Chiaki, was outside a small apartment with a young boy with his hair color, brown eyes, and wearing a green shirt, black pants and black shoes.

"Good morning Souji," Chiaki waved.

"Morning… Tou-san," the boy, Souji, nodded, as he smacked a training dummy with a wooden sword.

"Souji… you gotta keep it down, we're getting noise complaints from the neighbors," Chiaki pointed out.

"I have to train as best as I can to become a true Samurai like you, Tou-san," Souji answered, as he continued to smack the dummy around, when a person came out and threw a can at him, which he noticed and smacked into a recycling bin with his sword.

"KEEP IT DOWN! Some of us are trying to sleep!"

"...Gomen nasai, Hiro-san," Chiaki apologized, moving Souji away and towards the apartment complex they lived in.

In Hawaii, Mako was relaxing on the beach as a young man, who had brown hair, blue eyes, and was currently wearing blue shorts, orange and green shoes, a white jacket and a pink shirt.

"Okaa-san… the kids at school were mocking me for wearing pink… again," the male groaned.

"Sorry, Takeshi. Your grandparents don't have many other shirts to spare, and you know they have a bad habit of leaving reds or pinks with the whites," Mako replied.

"I know…" he sighed.

"Just relax, dear. There are things not worth worrying about," Mako told him.

At that moment, in Japan, Ryuunosuke was practicing his old art of Kabuki while nearby, a boy with brown hair, teal eyes, and wearing a white and blue tye-die jacket, blue shirt and blue jeans with blue shoes was playing on a silver 3DS.

"Son... Why must you slack off so much?" Ryuunosuke groaned.

"Cause you're kabuki stuff bores me to sleep. I'm just getting into the good part of Dream Team," the boy answered.

"Ugh... No respect for the traditional arts of your home country, Sakurai," Ryuunosuke sighed, "Besides, you should be training to be a Shinkenger."

"I can, but I choose not to right now," his son responded.

"Ugh… it's almost like my son's Chiaki… Look, you don't know when you'll be called upon. It could be any day now."

"Gold Sushi… here they come," Genta muttered, as he smiled, seeing the Shiba family arrive outside.

"Konichiwa, Genta-san," Kotoha smiled at her former Shinkenger partner.

"Irashai Kotoha, Ai-chan, Eri-chan, Take-chan," Genta smiled back.

"Good day old friends!" a voice smiled, coming from an odd red paper lamp with blue metal pieces, a kanji on paper for "samurai", and a small silver, red, and gold face with green eyes.

"Hi, Daigoyo-kun," Ai smiled, "Where's Yoko?"

"Over here," Yoko waved, jumping up into view. "Uh… tou-san… little help? You know I can't be seen over this…"

"Oh... Right," Genta chuckled, as he walked behind a counter and picked his daughter up, so she was in view.

"Man, 12 years old and you're almost as tall as my seven-year old sister," Ai stated.

"Not funny, Ai-chan," Yoko groaned, walking over to them, showing true to Ai's words, she was only a little bit taller then Eri.

"But it's true."

"Ai... please stop teasing Yoko," Takeru replied.

"Sorry," she apologized as the family took a table and were given their normal sushi order by Genta and his daughter.

"So curious… are you two thinking about having any more kids?" Genta inquired.

"Maybe," they shrugged.

"It would be nice to have a little brother," Ai figured.

"You wouldn't be replacing me, right?" Eri asked.

"Of course not!"

"So... Yoko, do you think the three of us would make a good Sentai?" Eri inquired.

"What 'three'? I don't need you two, no offense but, I'd rather keep you both out of danger," Ai responded.

Takeru just groaned upon hearing his eldest daughter's cockiness.

"Ano… okaa-san, do you think I'd be able to help Onee-chan? I don't want to be a burden… am I one?" Eri asked.

"Don't be silly, Eri-chan," Kotoha replied.

"You know… you kinda remind me of someone," Genta admitted, glancing overr at Kotoha.

"Like mother, like daughter," Takeru added.

"...Yea."

"So Otou-san, I would be the first female ShinkenGold, hai?" Yoko inquired.

"Yea," Genta nodded.

"In fact, you'd be the second ShinkenGold in history," Kotoha added.

"Suge…" she giggled.

Not long after the conversation had ended, the Shiba family had finished eating, and headed back for home, with Eri and Ai waving bye to Yoko.

Later that day, the two sisters had begun to train, with Ai working with a wooden sword, while Eri worked with a boomerang of sorts.

"They're doing really well," Kotoha admitted as she and Takeru observed their training.

"I only wish that Ai would learn she's not invincible," Takeru sighed.

"...Me too..."

"Onee-chan… you're really great," Eri smiled, watching her older sister practice.

"Naturally," Ai smirked.

"I wish I could be brave like you…" Eri sighed

"You don't need to be brave… sometimes there are things we want to change about ourselves, but we can't," Ai informed.

"O-Okay..."

The two girls both just continued their training, both rather tense, but both calmed down a bit when they heard a flute being played. They turned to see their mother playing a wooden flute, very well, too.

"Okaa-san… you're amazing at the flute," both girls complimented.

Kotoha just smiled as she continued playing.

However, unknown to all of the Shinkengers, both current generation and previous generation, in what appeared to be another world, which was mostly red (from the skies, land, and even the water). Upon the water was a line boat that looked sorta like a blood red pirate ship, with tattered flags, and some damaged wood along the sides. On the ship, there was a female figure playing a shamisen (a sort of Japanese banjo), and over in a corner was a kaijin who had a sort of bowl in his hands.

"The Shinkengers thought that there was no heir… but they thought wrong," the female figure chuckled, looking like some sort of octopus mixed with a vermillion bird, a peacock to be more precise as the feathers formed much of her dress. She continued to play the shamisen a bit, and then the general put down the empty bowl of sorts.

"Send the Nanashi… I want to test the Shinkengers and see if they're worth my time," the male figure, who is a three-headed being, but they all share one mind, one side of him being blue and having a beetle motif, the other side of him being red with a sort of bat motif, and the middle head being yellow with a fox, ordered.

"Okaa-san… Ai hurt me…" Eri informed, walking in, tears in her eyes.

"Oh, don't cry, Eri-chan," Kotoha replied before turning to Ai, "Ai. How did you hurt her?"

"I was raising my wooden training blade up, and I had no idea she was right behind me and I accidentally hit her with it," Ai defended.

"Is that true, Eri?"

"Well… she did hit my with her training blade… I don't know if she meant to or not," Eri responded.

"Just relax, dear," Kotoha replied as a bunch of men dressed in all black, even hiding their faces, rushed over, showing some medical items, and then Eri moved part of her kimono, showing her shoulder was bleeding.

"Kurokos… please tend to her wound," Kotoha requested as they nodded, pulling out some cotton, rubbing alcohol, Neosporin, and bandages and rushed to clean the wound, which made Eri wince a bit in pain, but she was cleaned and bandaged up rather quickly.

"Okaa-san… I'll be okay, right?" she asked, a small tear running down one of her eyes.

"Of course you will," Kotoha assured, wiping the tear from her daughter's eye.

"I didn't mean to hurt her Otou-san… I didn't know she was standing behind me," Ai told her dad who came in to hear what was going on.

"I know you didn't. But that's why you always have to be careful when training and fighting," Takeru told her.

Suddenly, a sort of bell rang, and a kuroko rushed over to Takeru, holding up a map.

"Gedoshu?" Takeru gawked as the Kuroko nodded, showing him the map, and the attack was by the park. He then took out a phone, and glanced down at it. "Ai-chan… what I'm about to give you, is something to not be taken lightly,"

"Eh?" Ai gawked in confusion before her father handed her a red and black pentagon with the kanji for fire on it, as well as the phone he had used to summon the horse from earlier. "Does this mean… what I think it means?"

"Yes… you are the new ShinkenRed," Takeru informed.

"Nani?!" Eri gasped before Ai dashed out to head to the park to fight off the enemy.

"Don't worry Ai… you'll be helping her," Kotoha informed.

"No, she won't. I don't need any help," Ai insisted.

"You don't have a choice, Ai-chan," Kotoha told her, handing her phone and a yellow and black triangular object with the kanji for earth on it to Eri, "Good luck out there, and make sure your sister stays safe."

"Hai," Eri nodded, and while the Shiba Sisters headed out, Jii walked out, and took out some arrows.

"If the Gedoshu really are back, Tono-sama, we'll need to summon their fellow Shinkengers," Jii told Takeru and Kotoha.

"Hai," they nodded as Jii pulled back on the arrows, and sent them flying out.

The first of these arrows landed at Hawaii, and Mako instantly recognized it.

"Takeshi! Come here, quick!" she called out, and her son dashed over to her, and saw the note simply had the kanji for summon.

"What the… what's this mean?" Takeshi asked before Mako handed him her phone and a hockey-puck like object that was silver, pink, and black with the kanji for heaven on it. "What is this… a hockey-puck or something?"

"Oi, Souji, the day you've been waiting for has arrived," Chaiki informed, showing him the same message that Mako and her son had received.

"Yosh!" Souji nodded as Chiaki tossed him the same phone and a square object that was green and black with the kanji for wood.

"Good luck, kiddo."

"Sakurai!"

"I don't want to watch your silly kabuki show, Tou-san!" Sakurai complained, playing Pokemon X on his 3DS before getting bonked on the head by a paper fan, "ITE!"

"Here!" Ryuunosuke responded, handing him the phone, a hexagonal object that was blue and black with the kanji for water on it, and the same phone the other Shinkengers had.

"What kind of game is this?" Sakurai asked his dad, resulting in another bonk to the head.

"Remember the sushi has to be well done," Genta told his daughter as he was about to taste-test his daughter's latest creation, when the arrow came by, but it had a sticky sort of suction cup end to it, as to not break anything.

"Boss, look!" DaiGoyo informed.

This made Genta and Yoko see the same message the other Shinkengers retrieved.

"...Tou-san? What's going on?" Yoko asked.

"Remember how I've been training you in things beyond sushi. Today… the day for you to prove yourself has arrived!" Genta informed, handing her a flip phone that looked like a brick of rice, a crimson disc that somewhat resembled a piece of tuna, and he nodded at her.

"Don't forget me boss! I kinda… can't get down…" DaiGoyo informed.

"Oh, right," Genta nodded, taking Daigoyo down from his hanging place, and handing it to Yoko.

"Yosha! Ikuzo Yoko-chan!" DaiGoyo shouted, as he and Yoko rushed out.

"I don't need you, go back to the house Eri!" Ai told her sister.

"I can't. We're both Shinkengers now, Ai-chan. We have to go together!" Eri insisted.

"Hey Shiba Sisters!" Yoko waved rushing over with DaiGoyo.

"Yoko-chan!" Eri smiled. "So you really are ShinkenGold, right?"

"Hai."

It was then that Takeshi showed up, arriving in a sort of mini tornado. However, Ai couldn't help but giggle at how he was wearing pink. However, Yoko ignored the fact he was in pink and smiled at him.

"Konichiwa. I'm assuming you're another Shinkenger. Which color are you, green or blue?" Yoko inquired.

"...Neither…" he sighed, showing them the round object he got.

"Oh… you're ShinkenPink," Yoko noted. "Eh, it doesn't matter."

"Doesn't matter?! This ShinkenPink is a dude!" Ai laughed out loud.

"So who are you supposed to be, Gold?" Takeshi asked.

"I'll have you know, that I'm ShinkenRed, your leader," Ai informed, making Takeshi gulp in nervousness.

"EH?! Seriously?!"

"Yea… and uh… she's… my… Onee-chan," Eri informed.

"..." Takeshi just paled at that when… he heard a horse gallop, and in entered Souji, who bowed before his team.

"Tono-sama. I am ready and willing to serve you, ore wa Tani Souji" he spoke to Takeshi.

"Uh… I'm not ShinkenRed," Takeshi informed.

"But… you're the only other boy," Souji pointed out.

"I know. But she's ShinkenRed… yea… I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that." he informed, pointing over to Ai.

"Oh… gomen nassai, I was unaware our leader was female. Please forgive me Tono-sama," Souji apologized, kneeling before Ai.

"Ease up there, Souji. You'll hurt yourself doing that," Ai replied.

"The Pink Shinkenger makes a point there Green Boy," Sakurai informed walking up to his team.

"Oi vey… why must everyone point out me wearing pink?" Takeshi groaned.

"Wait… YOU'RE ShinkenPink… but you're a boy," Sakurai gawked.

"Who were you expecting me to be. ShinkenGreen?"

"Blue actually,"

"Okay… fellow Shinkengers, I thank you for being here, and as your Tono I say… you have all wasted your time, I can handle this myself and you can all go home now," Ai informed.

"Okay," Sakurai said about to walk away.

"No you don't," Souji responded, stopping Sakurai by holding his wooden sword out to block his path, "You're our Tono-sama, we're your vassals, and it's our duty to protect you."

"...he's right…" Eri muttered, nervously as she walked behind her sister.

"As much as I don't like the color, I'm willing to help you, Tono-sama," Takeshi added as he and Souji approached Ai.

"Idaro," she sighed. "Ikuzo,"

Over at the park, people were in a panic, running away from yellow suited, brown and red fish armored goons with huge swords. Suddenly, a drum sound began to play, as the kurokos approached carrying banners with the Shiba family crest on it.

From behind the banners came some complaints from the new Shinkengers as they weren't used to what was going on. This made the grunts look on confused before the banners moved aside, showing the new Shinkengers, each wearing white kimonos with blue or yellow accents.

"Ippitsu Soujou!" the core five announced, pulling out the phones like Takeru and Kotoha, and folded them before writing their respective Kanji in the air and their respective colors.

"Sushi Disc!" Yoko started, pulling out her phone, opening it, folding the disc up and pressing a button in the middle.

=IRASHAI~!=

She then folded her phone and set the disc on the bump on the phone and posing with it. "Ikkan Kenjou!" she announced, as kanji appeared before her and all the kanji formed the suits of the Shinkengers, which were mostly sleek, having designs of kimonos with the Shiba Clan symbol over the core Shinkengers' hearts, and while the core rangers' suits were accented with white & black, Gold's was more in a navy blue (all three girls having skirts their own color). The core five then pulled out their gold, black, and silver katanas, the Shinkenmaru, and posed in their own way.

"ShinkenRed! Shiba Ai," Red announced, holding her blade over her shoulder, and giving a neutral pose.

"Onajiku Blue! Ikenami Sakurai," Blue announced, twirling his blade, before posing with it over his shoulder, but in a bit of a less neutral pose, and something more like a casual student who'd care less about school.

"Onajiku Pink! Shiraishi Takeshi!" Pink added, as he raised his blade and rested it on left shoulder, and put his left hand on his helmet, as if moving his hair out of his face.

"Onajiku Green! Tani Souji!" Green announced, raising one hand into the air, posing somewhat neutrally like Kamen Rider Kabuto, but holding his blade in a way that showed he was set for action.

"Onajiku Yellow. Shiba Eri," Yellow added, moving her blade gracefully around her before holding the hilt in both of her hands, and posing in a near-cute fashion.

"Onajiku Gold! Umemori Yoko!" Gold declared, wielding a blade and sheath designed after a barracuda, and posing with it quite dramatically.

All but ShinkenRed kneeled down, holding their blades in their hands.

"Tenkagomen no Samurai Sentai," Red announced before all six Shinkengers stood up, their blades in the air, and they slashed down, "SHINKENGER!" they all declared before looking up and posing in their own ways with their blades in the air, "Mairu!"

"Shinkenger…" the fish grunts, the Nanashi Company, growled, recognizing the suits of the Shinkengers before ShinkenRed rushed forward and began to slash at them, knocking the Nanashi around for a moment.

"This is almost too easy," ShinkenBlue noted, slashing at the grunts like they were nothing.

ShinkenGreen also slashed them down, but took his time in doing so, making sure to attack each and every grunt that came at him, "Don't let your guard down so easily."

ShinkenPink and ShinkenGold tagged team the kaijin, Pink often taking the grunts into the air and battling them in his tornado while Gold stayed on the ground, slashing them quickly.

ShinkenYellow began to smack the Nanashi in the head, and repeatedly did it to all the Nanashi around her. However, she still seemed a bit clumsy at it, much to ShinkenRed's chargin.

"Uh… Tono-sama… you sure that's your sister?" Blue asked.

"She is… she just needs more practice," Red nodded, slashing away the Nanashi as they came at her before pulling out a red disc from her buckle and sliding it on the hilt of her sword, "But now, it's time to get serious."

"Oh, good idea Onee-chan, I'll follow suit," Yellow noted, taking out a yellow disc from her buckle and sliding it on the hilt of her sword.

The two spun the discs before swinging their blades a bit until they glowed and transformed.

"Rekka Daizantou!" ShinkenRed shouted, now wielding a red and gold sword, much larger than herself, before taking out a red disc and attaching it to the side of the blade before attacking the Nanashi.

"Land Slicer!" Yellow added as her sword turned into some sort of three-bladed giant shuriken, before attaching a yellow disc to the back, and tossing it like a boomerang, and it hit just about all of the Nanashi the Rekka Daizantou didn't hit.

"Nice work, Eri," Red smiled.

"We should probably help them out, too, guys," Pink added, following their suit, his blade transforming into a giant fan, "Heaven Fan!"

He slashed around, knocking away the Nanashi with the blade, and also doing some wind slashes at the same time. Pink then paused and sighed at his weapon for a moment. "Why did I have to be Pink…?"

"Wood Spear!" ShineknGreen shouted, having already done what the others had, and was wielding a large green and black spear, the disc having activated the silver tip, and he spun the spear around a few times before he smacked the ground with it, and it caused all the Nanashi he hit to blow up.

"I guess it's my turn," Blue sighed, finally finishing it up for the main five, summoning a blue and silver bow, "Water Arrow."

He pulled back on the arrow and sent several water shots into the air, which came raining down like a shot from a certain shiroi melon hero…

"Ano… what did Otou-san say this weapon was called… Barracuda Blade… no…" Gold muttered, trying to remember the name of her weapon, "Oh yea! Zangeki Kanjoto Sakanamaru!"

She then charged forward and slashed at the Nanashi at a high speed with the Sakanamaru.

"And… finish!" she announced, resheathing her blade, which made all of the Nanashi explode.

"And that brings this chapter to a close," Red smiled.

"What?" the others asked.

"Oh, that's just something my dad said when the last Shinkengers won a fight," Red informed.

"Okaa-san… Otou-san… we're back," Eri announced as the team returned to the Shiba Mansion.

"Thank goodness you're safe," Kotoha smiled.

"How did it go?" Takeru inquired.

"It went great," Ai smiled.

"So you're the Tono of the last generation of Shinkengers," Souji gawked before kneeling before Takeru.

"Ease up, man. He's not our Tono, you know," Sakurai groaned.

"You could at least show him some respect," Takeshi countered. "So… I'm gonna guess you're ShinkenBlue, and you're ShinkenGreen?"

"No, I'm ShinkenGreen, he's ShinkenBlue," Souji informed, making Takeru gasp internally.

'Seems Chiaki's and Ryuunosuke's roles have been swapped in their sons,' Takeru thought to himself.

"Yoko-chan, it's great to see you," Kotoha smiled. "So wait… if you're ShinkenGold, he's ShinkenBlue, that boy is ShinkenGreen… then… you must be Mako's son and the current ShinkenPink?"

"Yea, I know," Takeshi groaned, "Why do I have to be Pink?"

"Wow… this is a first," Jii muttered. He had kept track of all the Shinkenger history, and while Red, Blue, Yellow and Green tended to switch genders, Pink was always a girl. This would be the very first male ShinkenPink in history.

"Not a good first," Takeshi muttered.

"Anyway… so I'm assuming we're gonna be living here until further notice?" Sakurai asked.

"Hai," Takeru nodded.

"Great, now I'm alone and mocked for my color," Takeshi muttered again, falling flat onto the floor.

"How about we show you to your rooms?" Ai offered.

"And I'll start work on dinner," Yoko added.

"Sounds fair to me," Sakurai shrugged.

Thus, after the others were all ready in their rooms, Yoko finished making some sushi and everyone was enjoying it.

"So Ms. Shiba, how old are you?" Souji asked Eri.

"Seven," Eri answered.

"I guess that makes you the youngest out of all of us. I'm 12,"

"Same here," Sakurai smiled.

"I'm 11," Takeshi informed.

"I'm 12, and Ai's 11," Yoko concluded.

"I could've told them that myself, Yoko," Ai pointed out.

"Gomen Tono-chan," Yoko apologized.

"...It's okay." Ai shrugged.

"So, we know that you're the last ShinkenRed," Souji started, looking over to Takeru. "But I must ask, how'd you meet your wife, and how does Eri have the ShinkenYellow gear?"

"Interesting thing about that… Kotoha was actually one of my vassals… the previous ShinkenYellow," Takeru answered. This made Souji spit out his water in shock, and then drop the glass of water on the ground, which didn't shatter, surprisingly.

"What…?"

"Yes, I know. Jii was rather surprised when I proposed to her," Takeru informed.

"...But marrying one of your vassals? I'm pretty sure that's against some rules," Souji pointed out.

Takeru and Kotoha just shrugged this off, both happily smiling at each-other.

"You think they really care?" Ai asked.

This caused Souji to sigh a little bit, as he finished and headed for his room, soon followed by Takeshi and Sakurai.

"See ya in the morning Shiba Sisters," Yoko waved, heading to her own room.

"So… what do you think of our team?" Eri inquired.

"It's… interesting to say the least." Takeru shrugged.

Eri smiled as she let out a yawn.

"I guess it's time to hit the hay," Ai figured.

Kotoha simply walked over to help her youngest daughter to bed, while Ai simply walked off to her room and closed the door.

"The Next Generation Samurai Sentai… ganbare," Takeru smiled.

Jikai, Next Gen Shinkenger

Ai: I don't need any help, I can fight all on my own!

Souji: Tono-Sama, it's time we do that thing!

Core Shinkengers: Samurai Gattai!

Act 2: Gattai, Shinken-Oh!

Pikatwig: And that, is Act 1.

KKD: Hope you guys enjoyed this little project's first chapter.

Pikatwig: Thoughts?

KKD: Overall interesting, but I found it kinda funny how Takeshi ended up being Pink.

Pikatwig: Containing the first true Male Pink.

KKD: Yea. Also, why do I get the feeling you purposefully chose Takeshi and Yoko (even if not the same people as our OCs) to be in here and for Yoko to be the one not teasing him?

Pikatwig: *shrugs* For the names, it's more coincidental. And as for why Yoko's not teasing him, well… we'll see later. Favorite part?

KKD: Hmm… this is a bit tricky to determine. ...Maybe it's when the team decided to use their personal weapons. That, and Takeshi complaining about being Pink.

Pikatwig: I liked the scene near the start that showed Kotoha and Takeru started a family, and they're really happy.

KKD: Yea, that was nice. Anyway, I think we'd better close this one off. Jaa ne!

Pikatwig: Just Live More.
