The Search for Jackpot Striker, part 2

Previously...

A train had just returned from Okazaki, and among the passengers that left the train were Kuroninja, a very skilled ninja master, and Tsukasa Myoujin, a police officer who was also Patoren3. Kuroninja and Tsukasa had just finished their date in Okazaki, and they had also failed to protect the Okazaki Strawberry, despite the fact that Kuroninja destroyed the Gangler that was going to steal it.

Now, Kuroninja and Tsukasa were sunbathing at the park. Tsukasa seemed preoccupied about something.
"You ok?" Kuroninja asked.
"No, I was just thinking about that time when we first met," Tsukasa said.
"That was when I saved you from a giant eye laser, right?" Kuroninja said.
"Yeah," Tsukasa said, "but then there was that other time when we were on the airship, and I was about to fall..."
"That was also me," Kuroninja said.
"I know," Tsukasa said, "but I'm starting to wonder whether that was really you. I think he was wearing blue instead of black."
"That happened a long time ago," Kuroninja said nervously, "so maybe your memory of that one time isn't that great..."
"I've gotta go," Tsukasa said. "The GSPO needs me."
"Ok, bye," Kuroninja said.

As soon as Tsukasa left, Kuroninja sighed with relief. What actually happened was that Kuroninja chose to save Umika from falling to her death instead of Tsukasa, and the one who saved her was actually Blueroninja, the Kuroninja of Earth-119. That was when Kuroninja saw a metallic dragon with emerald green eyes flying past the park. Kuroninja had no idea what it was doing, until he saw what looked like a red fighter jet running away from the dragon.

In the cockpit of the robotic dragon mecha, Mark Scorpio was with Anti-Kuroninja.
"What's with the dragon?" Mark Scorpio asked.
"It's not just a dragon," Anti-Kuroninja said, "it's the Cybernindragon! I made it for my master plan."
"What is it?" Scorpio asked.
"I'm planning on restoring the Lupin Collection for myself so I can get more power!" Anti-Kuroninja said. "Once I become more powerful, Kuroninja will have no choice but to accept me as his archenemy!"
"Ok, but what about the Okazaki Strawberry?" Scorpio asked.
"That's what you have to go after," Anti-Kuroninja said. "You already saw who stole it, right?"
"Of course I did!" Scorpio said. "It was the Lupinrangers, but they're not the same Lupinrangers. It's like they're Generation 2 Lupinrangers or something."
"Wait!" Scorpio said. "We're under attack!"

Kuroninja had summoned his Snakezord, and he was attacking the Cybernindragon.
"We can't fight two things at once!" Anti-Kuroninja said to Scorpio. "I'm getting out of here. You find the strawberry!"
Mark Scorpio then left as the Cybernindragon flew away. Kuroninja then decided to follow the red fighter jet, which was actually the Red Dial Fighter, which landed at an apartment. Kuroninja decided to go inside the apartment.

Inside, Kuroninja ran into the Lupinrangers again. They were observing the map being projected by the Okazaki Strawberry.
"Hey guys..." Kuroninja said. "...what is this?"
"Oh hey Kuroninja!" Shiho said. "We're looking for the Jackpot Striker."
"What do you need it for?" Kuroninja said.
Suddenly, Noel, also known as Lupin X/Patoren X, appeared behind Kuroninja. He was there the whole time, but Kuroninja didn't even bother to look behind him.
"Bonjour, Kuroninja," Noel said. Kuroninja turned around.
"Lupin X!?" Kuroninja said. "How did you get here so quickly?"
"I was there the whole time, but you didn't even look behind you," Noel said.
"What are you doing here?" Kuroninja asked.
"I'm the one training them," Noel said.
"Huh?" Kuroninja said, a little confused.

"You see," Shori Yano said, "my brother, Kairi, and the others became Lupinrangers so they could bring us back. Now we've got to return the favor."
"And there's a piece of the Lupin Collection that can help them with that," Noel said. "The Jackpot Striker."
Kuroninja didn't really know that much about the Jackpot Striker, because he hadn't watched the Lupinranger vs Patoranger movie yet.
"I found it!" Aya said.
"Ok," Shori said, "let's find the Jackpot Striker!"
"Wait!" Kuroninja said. "I want to go with you guys! I also want to bring Umika back too."
"Ok," Shiho said. "Kuroninja's coming with us."
Kuroninja and the Lupinrangers then left the apartment, ready to find the Jackpot Striker.

Kuroninja and the Lupinrangers arrived in the location of the Jackpot Striker, which turned out to be a casino. They then realized what they had to do: they had to blend in. Kuroninja decided to test his luck at the slots machine. However, when he was playing the slots, he saw what appeared to be Kuros, soldiers who worked for the Shadow Line. However, they seemed to be the staff here. Kuroninja also noticed aliens in the casino. Kuroninja then ran into Mark Scorpio.
"Mark Scorpio..." Kuroninja said. "Are you here to find the Jackpot Striker?"
"Yes," Scorpio said. "Wait, how did you-"
"I'm also looking for it," Kuroninja said.
Suddenly, one of the Kuros appeared and said that the boss wanted to see both Kuroninja and Mark Scorpio. Kuroninja and Scorpio decided to follow him.

The two of them then ended up in an office. The boss was sitting on his chair, but his face wasn't shown to Kuroninja or Scorpio.
"So..." the boss said, "you discovered my Interdimensional casino."
"I guess we weren't supposed to," Kuroninja said.
"Don't worry," the boss said, "I've got friends in many different places, and a lot of valuable artifacts, so......I was going to have my friends blow you away, but I've been observing you from my homeworld of Earth-893. I would like it if both of you joined the family!"
"No way," Kuroninja said. "Just because I don't get along with the cops doesn't mean I'll join a bunch of criminals!"
"Are you sure?" the boss asked. "Even though we're technically brothers?"
"How can we be brothers?" Kuroninja asked. "We're from two different Earths!"
The boss then turned around and revealed himself. Not only was he wearing a black pinstripe suit , and not only did he have a missing pinky finger on his right hand, but he was wearing a Kuroninja helmet. It was Don Kuroninja, a crime lord and the Kuroninja of Earth-893.

"Another Kuroninja?" Mark Scorpio said.
"Yes," Don Kuroninja said. "I also have the Jackpot Striker, Scorpio. If you want it, you have to join my criminal organization and collect stuff for me!"
"No thanks," Scorpio said, "I'm already working for Anti-Kuroninja." Mark Scorpio then left. Kuroninja, however, stayed in the room.
"Hand over the Jackpot Striker," Kuroninja said.
"No way," Don Kuroninja said.
"Ok then..." Kuroninja said, "I guess I'll have to fight you!"

Don Kuroninja then pulled out a tommy gun, while Kuroninja picked up his Blade of Kings. He then turned it on and surrounded himself with orange light. After a flash of light, Kuroninja assumed a new form, which was black with orange accents.
"Kuroninja's standing before you, and there's nothing you can do about it," Kuroninja said, in his new form.
Don Kuroninja then started shooting at Kuroninja.
"It's time to step aside," Kuroninja said, as he charged at Don Kuroninja, dodging all the bullets. This orange form was used through Kuroninja's determination to save Umika from the pocket dimension inside Dogranio's safe. Kuroninja used the power channeling through him to kick Don Kuroninja in the face and send him flying into a bookshelf. Kuroninja then grabbed Jackpot Striker.
"Hey, who are you?" Jackpot Striker asked.
"I'm Kuroninja," Kuroninja said, "and I'm here to save you."

Kuroninja then left, but then saw the Lupinrangers, who were being surrounded by the Kuros. There were so many of them.
"Hey Lupin Red!" Kuroninja said. "Use this." He gave Jackpot Striker to Lupin Red.
Lupin Red then placed the Jackpot Striker on the VS Changer, and he and the other Lupinrangers fused together into Lupin Tricolour. Lupin Tricolour then defeated all the Kuros, allowing the Lupinrangers and Kuroninja to escape.

Meanwhile, Mark Scorpio was outside Don Kuroninja's interdimensional casino. The Cybernindragon came to pick him up.

At the Lupinrangers' apartment base, Kuroninja gave Jackpot Striker to the Lupinrangers and wished them luck. He then left, excited for when the Lupinrangers would save the original Lupinrangers and bring them back to Earth-1.
