"WHAT?!" Robotnik screeched.
"I-It's N-Not our fault, S-Sir!" Grounder, a green drilling machine with caterpillar tacks said nervously, hiding behind Scratch.
"Y-Yeah! Not our fault!" Scratch, the giant robot chicken said nervously.
"NOT YOUR FAULT?! I TOLD you to go and help the SWATbots, and what do you do?! RUN AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE!!!!!!!!!!!" 'Fatman' Yelled at the terrified robots.
Hirakimedes was standing not far away, clearly very amused by what was going on. He turned around and walked off.
"So, three more engines have landed on Mobius. What's more, they have new partners. And those Son-On Wings are still out there, too. Must be careful, don't want a repeat of the Go-Onger incident on earth."
The strange being walked up to one of the computers and pressed a button. A video of the Son-Ongers' first battle started playing.
"That fool! Did he really think a ROBOT could take them on? A robot has a fixed strength; it cannot grow stronger without outside assistance, so as soon as an opponent's strength goes OVER the Robot's set strength, it's as good as deactivated."
The Great Forest....
"How long have those three been here?" Bearv asked.
"'Bout 2 months. They were battling Robotnik's fleet and destroying Metal Sonic." Dylan said.
"Sonic?" Speedor asked.
"Knothole's strongest warrior, that DOESN'T have a secret identity. He can move at the speed of sound."
'So he's fast, is he? I'll show him....' Speedor thought to himself.
Knothole Village....
A bright yellow wombat with brown boots and a grey hat was standing in front of King Elias Acorn.
"So, Wombat Stu of the Downunda Freedom Fighters, you have been transferred to the Knothole Freedom Fighters."
"Yes, your majesty." Wombat Stu left the castle and walked straight into a green armadillo, knocking them both over. Stu got up and offered a hand to the armadillo, who grasped it, pulling himself to his feet.
"Thanks."
"No problem. The name's Stu. Just transferred here from the Downunda Freedom Fighters."
"Arlo. I'm one of Princess Sally's trainee Freedom Fighters." The armadillo said, shaking Stu's hand.
In Hamlin's hut....
"So you definitely picked up a Gaiark signal?" Hamlin asked.
"Yes." Bus-On said. "Well, actually the signal came from about 30 miles north of here."
"Isn't that where Robotnik's base is?" Penelope asked her comrades.
"Yep." Hamlin muttered.
"You don't think one of them teamed up with Robotnik, do you?" Dylan asked, worried.
"Well, judging that the Gaiark absolutely love pollution, and you told us that this....Ro-Butt-Nik also loves pollution and causing destruction, it wouldn't be surprising if they did." Speedor sighed.
Then the group heard a knock on the door. The three mobians quickly shoved the Go-Phones underneath the cabinet, just as Arlo entered the room.
"Hi guys, what'd I miss?"
"Nothing much, just some boring stuff." Hamlin answered him.
"We think that those Son-on Wings took all the bad guys from behind our backs." Dylan shrugged
Arlo walk around the room and set on the bed under Dylan's.
"So, have you heard about wombat stu being transferred to our group?"
"Nope." Then, as fate would have it, they heard a beeping noise come from underneath the cabinet.
"What was that?" Arlo asked.
"What was what?" Penelope asked convincingly.
"Um....never mind. Anyway, I have to go. Elias wants someone to show Stu around, and Bunnie's watching the kids, Amy can't be trusted with those sorts of things, Sonic and Sally are with Chuck, Rotor's working on a new weapon and the day Geoffrey St. John or Antoine do 'Commoner's work' is the day we find out that Shadow is Sonic's son."
(X—X)
Truth, Lies and Secret Family Sonic and Shadow: LET ME AT HIM!!!!!!!!
Pokelad: Calm down, guys!!!!!! It's a different dimension, you know!!!!!
(X—X)
"Good luck! You're going to need it if you don't want to be knocked down by a Flying Twin-Tailed or a speeding hedgefox!" Penelope laughed, as Dylan exited the room. As soon as he was out of earshot, Hamlin reached underneath the cabinet, retrieving the Go-Phones from their hiding place.
Dylan flipped open his Go-Phone.
"Speedor, why did you beep like that? We were nearly rumbled right there and then!!!"
"I found the engine souls of Engine Birca and Engine Gunpherd, but the souls and the casts seem to have been separated."
"What?!" Hamlin asked.
"Where?!" The others asked.
"The two souls are still in the forest somewhere, but...."
"But what?" Dylan asked.
".....The casts seem to be moving north."
"Damn it. That means that ol' Butnik must have gotten the casts." Hamlin muttered.
"Maybe we can still intercept them?" Penelope asked.
"It's worth a shot. Let's go!"
The three dashed out of the hut, but little did they know two pairs of eyes had seen them.
"Didn't hear an alarm, did you?" Arlo asked.
"Let's go. Maybe something we can help out." Stu answered him and the two ran off in the direction the others had gone.
Soon after...
A group of SWATbots were positioned around a strange car-like beast. It Petrol Tanks on its sides and a steering wheel on its back. It was Grey-Black in colour and was constantly emitting dangerous toxic fumes.
"Come on, you walking piles of trash! Robotnik wants those souls quickly!" The thing could be heard screeching. "Get a move on! Keep digging! If you don't...ARGH!"
He was hit from behind by something fast and yellow. Rubbing a now aching patch on his back, the monster turned around to notice the three Son-Ongers, already morphed. Penelope had her racing Bullet out.
"So, you're one of these 'Gaiark', eh?" Hamlin asked.
"Got that right. What's it to you, anyway?" The creature asked. Penelope flipped open her Go-Phone.
"How did you even survive?" Bearv asked. The creature laughed.
"Because one of us wasn't as dead as you thought!"
"What do you mean?"
"Would the name Hirakimedes be familiar to any of you?" The creature asked.
"Hirakimedes is ALIVE?!" Bearv's eyes widened.
"Yes...as you know, Hirakimedes was destroyed during a battle with your predecessors..."
(Flashback – Engine Sentai Go-Onger Episode 23)
Go-On Red was literally riding his Road Sabre through the air, Rocket Dagger in hand, towards the mutated Hirakimedes.
"Sabre Straight! Go-On Rendezvous!" Both his weapons started to glow, and Go-on Red delivered a powerful blow to Hirakimedes.
"It can't be! There's no way I can lose! Yogostein-Sama!" Hirakimedes yelled out, sparks flying everywhere, before falling and exploding.
(End flashback)
"And you know what happened next, Hirakimedes coming back as ghost..."
(Flashback – Engine Sentai Go-Onger Episode 24)
The 7 Go-Ongers looked through the cockpit of their Mecha and the combination of the Samurai warrior and Hirakimedes' ghost. A box of salt was teleported next to Go-On Yellow.
"We can purify it with this!"
"I get it! Salt has the power to purify spirits, right?" Red asked.
"Right! Everyone, Blaster Soul!"
They all got out their Blaster Souls and Yellow sprinkled salt over them, muttering 'Ascend to heaven' as she did so.
"The next one will be the finisher!" Hirakimedes said.
They then inserted their Blaster Souls into their Steering Handle Blasters / Rocket Boosters and pointed them forward.
"Evil Spirits Disperse Blaster Soul, SET!
"Here we go! Sending to Heaven Grand Prix! Go-On!"
Energy-Powered copies of the Go-Ongers respective engines appeared in front of the Mecha and then slammed right into the Samurai/Ghost monster. The attack forced the ghost out of the samurai's body.
"So that's as far as my revenge goes? Farewell, Go-Ongers!!!" the ghost appeared to explode.
Later on...
Hirakimedes awoke to find himself in a grassy plain.
"W-What is this? Wait...my body...its back....looks like things just got a little more interesting."
(End flashback)
Bearv's eyes were wide.
"So that attack....just teleported him here and not only that, but also gave him his body back?!"
"Yep. But now I've said too much. Prepare to die! Just for the reference, the name is Carrax!"
"Master, we have found the location of the Engine Souls!" A SWATbot said.
"Good. Now dig them up. These guys are mine!" Carrax let loose a cloud of Carbon Monoxide.
"What the..."
"Gaiark were always known for their dirty tricks!" Bearv commented.
Carrax could see perfectly well through the smog and let a bolt of electricity loose from his car battery, sending the Son-Ongers sprawling.
"That hurt! MantanRod!" Dylan moaned, pulling out his rod.
"Right!" The other two said, also pulling out their rods. The three then charged at Carrax.
Hamlin attempted to strike Carrax from the front, but his blow was parried and Hamlin was sent flying backwards by Carrax's huge fists. Dylan and Penelope double teamed Carrax from behind, but were cut off and got zapped by more electricity bolts. Hamlin then leapt back into the fray and jumped into the air, trying to hit Carrax from above, but he was only sent back again. When he landed, the others helped him out. They all switched back to gun mode.
"MantanGun! Fire!" Carrax was pelted by lasers, this time having some effect, as they sent him backwards.
"You'll pay for that! INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION!!!" Carrax grew to the size of a skyscraper.
"Whoa! Look at that!" Dylan exclaimed.
"Now's our chance to shine! Insert our Engine Souls into our casts!"
"Right! Engine Soul, SET!!!!" The three Son-Ongers watched as their engines started to grow...and...Grow...
"Look at that!" Hamlin commented. The three leapt into their cockpits.
They each pushed switches, and the three engines combined to form one, massive robot.
"Engine-Oh, Tune Up! Go On!"
At the spy bunker....
"Hhm, we'll leave them to this one, I think." Sally muttered.
"Right." Sonic agreed. Then, there was a flash of light and a new figure appeared in the bunker.
"Zonic!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Yes. Sonic, we are in need of your assistance."
"But how can I he-"
"There is no time, you must come with me!" And with that, both Sonic and Zonic vanished.
CLIFFHANGER!!!!!
