My take on the video 'The Funeral Bell' by Solarbaby614, which you can see here www. youtube .com/watch?v=4aokvcCLNAI just get rid of the spaces.


It was the second time RJ had surrendered to Dai Shi to save his friends.

Casey, Lily, Theo, and Domonic could only watch as their friend disappeared in the smoke with Dai Shi, Camille, Rammer, and Badrat.

"What do we do?" Domonic finally asked after a few moments.

They thought for a few moments.

"Master Finn!" Lily suddenly said.

"Huh?"

"Master Finn. I bet he can help us."

They all agreed and went to find Master Finn.

They found him as his house on the roof repairing a hole, with three nails in his mouth.

"Master Finn!" Casey called.

The Shark Master turned, saw them, and took the three nails from his mouth.

"Hey, guys. Where's RJ?"

"That's why we're here. RJ's in trouble," Theo said.

Master Finn put his hammer and nails down, climbed down the ladder, and went over to them.

"What do you mean 'RJ's in trouble'?" he asked, just barely keeping the fear from his voice.

They told him what happened, watching his face grow whiter and whiter. When they finished they waited for a response.

His face almost as white as Domonic's Pai Zhuq uniform, Master Finn stared at the Rangers, his heart in his throat, filled with fear for his only son.

"Master Finn? Master Finn, please say something."

He swallowed, which proved to be a harder task that he had expected, for his throat was dry. He swallowed painfully, for with his throat being as dry as it was, it felt like he was trying to swallow a rock and succeeded in making his voice work, though it was hoarse.

"You say he's done this before?"

Casey, Lily, Theo, and Domonic, who had been told, nodded.

"Right before we got the Gorilla, Penguin, and Antelope Spirits."

"Dai Shi did something to him while fighting him and made him lose control of his animal spirit," Theo said.

"As far as we know, that was the worst that had happened to him," Lily added.

There was a brief pause.

"That was when the Overlords Jellica and Carnisor were with him, right?"

The Rangers nodded.

"The Phantom Beasts are far more ruthless and vicious than the Overlords, even Grizzaka," Master Finn said.

The Rangers, unable to help themselves, gulped.

"I have no doubt they'll try to convince Dai Shi to destroy him as quickly as possible."

"What if Dai Shi decides to fight RJ?" Domonic asked, finally finding the ability and courage to speak to the legendary Shark Master, who had fought in the first Phantom Beast War and had been the one who had destroyed Dai Shi's body, he hadn't been able to destroy Dai Shi completely because Camille had stopped him.

Master Finn paused for a moment to swallow again so they would be able to hear and understand him.

"From his training with the Overlords and the power he gained at the Rhino Nexus, if RJ told me correctly, Dai Shi is far more powerful than ever before, though I would think you all know that from your encounter with him earlier."

They nodded, recalling their recent defeat from Dai Shi.

"If he was to fight RJ, even if RJ still had his morpher and morphed, he would most likely win, but I'm afraid, with the urging of the Phantom Beasts, or at least the Phantom Beast Generals, Dai Shi will most likely destroy RJ," Master Finn said, his heart leaping back up in his throat even though he was the one that had said it.

"We have to save him!" Domonic said.

Casey, Lily, and Theo agreed.

"You're right, Domonic, we do have to save him, but to merely attack Dai Shi's lair without a plan and strategy would just be walking right into a trap and most likely our deaths."

"Then what should we do?" Casey said.

Lily then spoke up.

"First, lets get back to JKP and let Fran know what's going on, and then we can figure out how to save RJ there."

They all agreed and went back to JKP, each praying that Dai Shi wouldn't destroy RJ right away, that they would have time to rescue him.
