## Plot

Thirteen years ago, the Villainous Army of Evil attempted to invade Earth, faced by the Super Sentai squadron known as the Divine Dragon Rangers (竜神戦隊ドラゴンキーパー, Ryūjin Sentai Doragon Kīpā, lit. 'Dragon God Squadron Dragon Keeper'), also known as the Dragon Keepers, and their super weapons, the Divine Tools. The evil army, however, was defeated within a year, all of its Executives wiped out, and the surviving (and almost immortal) foot soldiers have been forced ever since to reenact their defeat to the Keepers in front of a crowd of spectators every Sunday. Tired of the charade, and realizing that this amounts to little more than slavery, one of the foot soldiers rebels and decides he will defeat the Dragon Keepers by infiltrating the organization.

On the second day of the test, D finds out that Shion teamed up with four other trainees to take all the keys. D decides to team up with the remaining trainees to go after the last key held by Suzukiri. She willingly hands it over to them to further help D.

Peltrola thanks D for his continued fighting and states that together they will have their goal of world domination and death of all humanity. However, after remembering the pain he and his fellow Dusters went through for thirteen years and all the new friends he has made, D betrays and kills the Peltrola clone. Besides resenting the boss monster for his long and torturous abandonment, D realizes his ideal world will never be possible if the boss monsters are still around as they would seek to destroy everything instead of ruling it.
