"Who would've thought Lucky was a prince?" Kotaro asked.
                          
"The Prince is the rightful heir to the throne of the Shishi System. Now then, retainers, lower your heads!" Gramps said.
                          
The Kyurangers bowed to Lucky to which Lucky said, "Cut that out! They're not my retainers. We're on the same team."
                          
"And I'm the first president of the Space Federation, which means I'm more important than a king," Tsurugi said.
                          
"Uh, that's not really the issue," Hammie said.
                          
"More importantly, how are we doing with the Minami Juuji System?" Shou asked Raptor. 
                          
"Oh, right," Raptor said, tapping on her tablet. "Southern Cross, the Jark Matter home-world, is protected by a powerful barrier."
                          
"So how do we bust in there?" Champ asked. 
                          
"Among the 88 warriors I fought with, four of them were sages, and I saw the method they used to break the barrier before," Tsurugi explained. 
                          
"Then we just need to recreate that method," Naga said.
                          
"Exactamundo!" Balance said. "I analyzed the deets, and with the Andromeda, Cepheus, Perseus, and Cassiopeia Kyutamas. The Kyu Energy of those four will pop that barrier open."
                          
"We've used the Andromeda Kyutama before, right?" Spada said.
                          
"Then gathering the other three of those Kyutama will be out goal for the time being. But first," Shou said.
                          
"Guys, I'm sorry I'm dragging you into something this personal," Lucky said.
                          
"Don't worry about it. Having your father conspire with Jark Matter, I really doubt any of us could focus on anything else after hearing that," Stinger said.
                          
"Thanks, but, from what I remember about my dad," Lucky trailed.

On Planet Cayenne, Lucky, Garu, Balance, Naga, Spada, Kotaro, and Tsurugi were walking through an area that contained a lot of boulders. 
                          
"This is the planet Lucky was born on?" Kotaro asked.
                          
"There's hardly any sign of any life," Naga said. 
                          
"Guys, check it out!" Balance said as he spotted a poster with the king's face scratched off. 
                          
"Looks like his approval rating is down," Tsurugi said. 
                          
"Then, is Lucky's dad really working with Jark Matter?" Spada asked.
                          
"He would never do that. Which is why, I have to see the truth myself," Lucky declared.

"The Kyurangers have touched down on this planet?" Kukuruga asked another Jark Matter solider.
                          
"It seems that Shishi Red's father is the ruler of this nation," the Jark Matter solider said.
                          
"What?!" Kukuruga questioned before laughing. "That kid's got some kind of luck."

"I heard the king's gonna give a speech over there, grr!" Garu told the Kyurangers.
                          
"Lucky," Tsurugi said.
                          
"Right, let's go," Lucky said.

"People of the Shishi System, you must bow before Jark Matter! If you do as they command, your lives will be spared!" the King said.
