Summary: Based on episode 40. Time works in a very strange way...
A/N: Trying to figure out how things work had been fun. I had always wonder what would happen to the four after all. And I wanted to write about Tatsuya. XD
------------------------
It was strange... seeing as how things had turned out for everyone. After that last time the four of them had returned to the past to save the 21st Century from being destroyed as well as helping Tatsuya to defeat Gien, he had thought that it would be the last and final time he would become a Timeranger. He had returned to the ring, as Yuri and the others also had taken their own different paths in life. And then there was that distress call from the past, asking him and the others to return to that century to aid in fighting a new enemy.
A lot of things had happened. The future was not truly set in stone. He learned that fact a long time ago.
The first time his future had changed was when they had gone to the past and became Timerangers. And while he was glad to be able again to return to the world of professional fighting, that life had been short-lived. Not because of any trivial reason but he found that he was no longer interested to continue fighting in the ring. Thus he returned to TPD, when he realised the same decision had been chosen by his fellow friends. What an ironic twist of fate, wasn't it? For the four of them to return to this place. But perhaps that was unavoidable. After all, this place was Tatsuya's legacy. Even if the five of them had been separated by many tens of years, their bonds could never be severed.
He never thought he would really be suited to work in this kinda job. That was the kind of things he could see Yuri... and Tatsuya to be doing. Not him, Ayase... and Sion. But their time as Timerangers surely affected them a lot.
He never expected there would still be things that could surprise him anymore.
That day after they lost their abilities to change into Timerangers and returned to their own time, he and Ayase had decided to look into the history records to see if anything else had been recorded after that. Sion, on the other hand, had tried to fix the TimeChangers to see if they could work again. But somehow, no matter how many times Sion and Tac tried to fix them... they don't seem to want to work. As if there was something that used to reside in the TimeChangers that had disappeared, causing them to no longer work. He wonder if that was related to that Legend war.
Not long after that, Yuri had revealed a secret project that had been kept unknown for quite a while. It seemed that sometime before they have gone to the past to fight in that legendary war, a new mech had been created. It was made using parts of the remaining G-Zord that had been collected prior, as well as V-Rex and TimeRobo's data. The new mech had also been inputed with the data of two other Super Sentai technology to improve its working.
Since there was no need for the new mech-named GouJyuDrill-to be used for combat, the machine had been kept in storage. Nothing more had been mentioned about the machine, to the point that it was almost forgotten.
Until after that time they had returned from the Legend war in the past.
Since then, Tac had detected occasional changes in the Space-Time pulses. It was thought that the changes Tac had detected was nothing important. Until one day, GouJyuDrill had disappeared in time during a test drive after its project had been revived.
Strangely, GouJyuDrill had returned after a while, as if it had been just fluke that it had gone into a time slip. But then, the frequency of that happening started to increase. Suddenly it started to become a bit familiar as to how GouJyuDrill tend to fly into the time by itself and returned. Like how Captain Ryuya had sent the Time Jets and Time Shadow into the past to aid them. But that was not possible! How could something from the past summon the machine of the future like that? It was hard to believe.
Yuri had arranged for an investigation of GouJyuDrill as well as another search through the past records to find out the reasoning for this to happen.
It was then when they learned about the Gokaigers.

Domon started looking up the records regarding the Gokaigers before he noticed something.
October the second, 2010. Negakure Shrine mysteriously blew up. He cocked his head. There was something familiar about that name, he could not place it. He immediately started to access the recorded archives regarding all of the Super Sentai teams to date before stopping at the Kakuranger records.
He let out a long sigh.
On second thought it was a bit strange that they haven't seen Ninjaman joining the fight during the Legend war. Considering that he did remember seeing some of the allies and team members of the other teams that had supposedly perished in the past somehow returning from the dead to lend their own powers to fight the Zangyacks. And Ninjaman was not even dead. He was sealed.
He never really understand how that had happened still-or how it was even possible. Since for TimeFire, it happened that Tatsuya had called upon his best man to take the V-Commander and assume TimeFire's identity and fight on behalf of Naoto.
He never really thought about that. Could the dead still be able to reach the world of the living and protected them? That might explain what actually happened to GouJyuDrill.
So, the reason Ninjaman have not appeared... was that because of this destruction of Negakure Temple? Domon started to look up for more of the data on Gokaiger as he mused to himself. Since Ninjaman had been lost and never participated in the war, that means its Ranger key would not have existed! While it might still possible for the Gokaigers to attain Kakuranger's grand powers, without Ninjaman... it would have still be lacking in something. He grinned. Aren't they lucky that he happened to stumble into this? They better thank him for this!
And then he noticed another important event on that same date. It seemed that at the same time the shrine had been destroyed, the Shinkenger and Goseigers teams had been battling Buredoran and the Gedoshu at the valley nearby. And there seemed to be no records of the remaining Gedoshu-namely Shitari of the Bones-ever appearing again. Could that be that there was a possibility that they were defeated by some other teams? He snorted. Perhaps this was meant to be. So if he should sent the Gokaigers towards that time, perhaps the identities of the ones that supposedly defeated Shitari were indeed them after all. It was like hitting two birds in one stone!
There seemed to be a good plan for now, let see if Yuri, Tac and the others agreed to this plan. It should not hurt so much to help the people of the past, if that could make the future an even better place to live in.
Domon paused as he recalled Captain Ryuya and the things he did to try change his own fate. He shook his head. No, they would not be doing the same mistake as he did. He would tell those Gokaigers to not interact with the people of from the past-he would leave out the details about the Shinken-Gosei battle, just in case. Those pirates might not be so thrilled to do anything that was not related to their treasure hunting-in order to avoid any unnecessary changes in the past.
That should do...

Domon rechecked the records again to see if the past had changed the way it was planned to be. Just in time to see GouJyuDrill returning to its hangar after fulfilling its mission. Good, that had worked. He was a bit unconvinced when Tac said that it would be fine for him to just input the necessary navigation data into GouJyuDrill and put in his identification data. People from the 21st century would not be able to understand the technologies of the future, way after their own times, so operating GouJyuDrill to travel back in time for those Gokaigers might be tricky. He could not himself go into the past after all.
Yet, it turned out to be all right. It seemed, even when the TimeYellow powers had been released and turned into Ranger keys... it could still respond to him. So even if he was not there to move the GouJyuDrill himself, through his Ranger key; it was as if he was actually there himself.
That was a relief. Those Gokaigers might just be a band of pirates but they seemed to be trustworthy.
Even if he or his other friends were not the ones who had entrusted the TimeRanger's grand powers initially to those Gokaigers, with this... those Gokaigers could assume that they have the blessings of the rest of the Timerangers to continue using the Timeranger's power. They did not seemed to misuse those powers after all. That should be fine.
But then when he read the rest of Ikari Gai's letter... and realized the truth about Honami that he never knew, he cried. Could this be fated? He was the one who happened to notice about Negakure shrine and those mother and child happened to be around that place. That was so unexpected.
He never thought he would still be able to learn anything on how Honami-as well as Tatsuya-had fared since they last met. Aside from the fact, he might be able to meet their descendants in this current time. Captain Ryuya could not be Tatsuya's only descendant after all. And as much as he dreaded it, Honami's descendants as well. Just that he never thought that it would also be his...
Domon cried again.

Asami Tatsuya walked out of his office before leaving the Asami Group building towards home. Honami had sent a message saying that she and Mirai would come to visit him. They had returned to Japan for a brief time and he wanted to prepare something special for the kid. At least, that was what he could do for Domon... by continuing to watch over Honami and Mirai. He thought that he wanted to keep a record about those two so that Domon would somehow be able to read them later but Honami stopped him. She had said that it was fine even if Domon did not know about Mirai, so he could not argue about it. If it was meant to be known, then so be it.
He sighed as he entered his car.
It has been a while. Somehow, he did end up succeeding his father as the president of the company. This time, he did not regret his decision or blame his inescapable fate as an Asami. Since this was what he had chose to do and not because of the pressures from his father or even the things Ryuya had said about his future. He was doing this not just for his own sake, but for Naoto as well. Plus, there's still a need for him to continue doing his part in protecting everyone... as well as using his power as an Asami to help others.
He might not be as business-minded as his father but at least he had his own ways in handling things.
Sometimes it just felt good, to remain working from the background and watching the other Super Sentai team that appeared after him doing similar tasks of protecting others as he used to do. As well as occasionally helping out indirectly without anyone's notice. It might be strange for a business organization like Asami Group to suddenly change its ways after the change of leadership, but he had grown strong since and knew how to keep the company surviving.
Tatsuya sighed. Wonder how the others had fared... so far onto the future? Ayase must have continued being a racer still, Domon with his grappling sport, Sion doing the things he's good at and Yuri...
Hopefully Yuri would live well. While he have to also move on with his own life as well as settle his own marital arrangements. He chuckled to himself.
Tatsuya peered out from the car window as he spotted the ship that the Gokaigers had stayed in. Those guys seemed to be doing so good. They also seemed to be able to know how to use the other Super Sentai powers as well. He heard about what happened at the Moroboshi High School.
Well, even if he could not lend his powers to them directly... there were still other things he could still do. All of them needed to combine their strengths to protect the people around them after all. Using whatever powers that they still have.
