[Dragon Ball Super – Days of Battle]

Last time on A Mage's Journe, our heroes infiltrated Hekatoid's lair in pursuit of Udonna. As they were searching, Hiro and Shala felt the presence of their parents. The duo went down the paths that led to their respective dragons and freed them. Meanwhile, the Power Rangers had their powers stolen by the overweight Terror, Hekatoid. After receiving advice from Toby, the Rangers used Hekatoid's figure against him and got their powers back. After a grueling battle, Hekatoid was vanquished and our heroes were finally reunited. Now, what plan will the Terrors concoct today? Find out...now.

[Dragon Ball Super – Title Card]

[Title: Return! The Clash for the Master's Revival!]

[At the Rock Porium]

Toby brought his employees in to ask some questions. The Fairies were also present.

"So, you guys really are the Power Rangers?" Toby asked. The Rangers nodded in agreement. "Okay, uh, Nick is the Red Ranger."

"Right." Nick said.

"And Xander is Green. Madison – Blue. Chip – Yellow. And Vida is Pink."

All the other Rangers that were mentioned nodded their heads.

"Okay, so, Nick is also the son of Udonna, the White Ranger, and Leanbow, a powerful wizard who is also Koragg, the guy who's been trying to trash the city. But in reality, he's a good guy. It's just that nobody knows what happened to him."

"I'm impressed, Toby, that's quite -"

"Ah, I haven't finished." Toby said, interrupting Madison. "Now, Nick is also The Light, the power to stop evil from taking over. But the bad guys are looking for The Light so that they can destroy him and then destroy the world."

"Exactly." Chip said.

"Silence!" Toby said. "Now, Leelee's mom is the Queen of the Vampires who really did carry me off, so I guess I can stop seeking professional help now."

"Yeah, sorry about that." Leelee apologized. Toby then motioned over to the Fairies.

"Now, these guys came from an entirely different world called Earthland. They're part of this guild they call Fairy Tail. We have Natsu the Fire Dragon. Gray, the Ice-Maker. Lucy, the Spirit Wizard, Erza, master of Requip. Gajeel the Iron Dragon, Happy and Lily the Exceeds. Shala is the Water Dragon. And the main man Hiro – Plasma Dragon."

"That was downright perfect." Erza said.

"I'm not done yet. Now, the Dragon Slayers were taught their magic by live dragons, who disappeared without a trace for quite sometime. That is, until now, when these two appeared before Hiro and Shala."

"That was the greatest day of my life. For years since Vernious disappeared on me, I was worried that I would never see her again. But now, thanks to this adventure, I finally got reunited with her." Hiro said. He hugged his mom, who was getting comfortable on his lap. Natsu and Gajeel just glared at Hiro.

"Hey, uh, look at it this way. At least we know where they all are, right?" Shala asked.

"True, but I want Igneel here right now!" Natsu complained.

"You heard what Papa said, right? Igneel's soul was taken from him. If you see him now, he'll just fade away." Shala said.

"IF I may continue." Toby said, who was getting really tired of the interruptions. "Now, the 10 Terrors are here, trying to call forth the head honcho himself – You know, the master of all evil. And you know what that means?"

While Toby was talking, everyone heard screaming from outside.

"It means that you guys won't be working your regular hours for a while. Looks like it might just be me and Lee-squared for a bit."

Suddenly, Phineas walked into the music store.

"Yeesh. You think you'd never seen a Troblin before."

Leelee happily walked up to Phineas.

"Hello. I thought I'd stop by to see my girl. Here, these are for you."

Phineas then offered Leelee a bouquet of radishes. Everyone present laughed at this.

"Isn't he cute? He's my new boyfriend." Leelee said.

"You're seeing, uh, Xander's uncle from the old country?" Toby asked.

"*laughs* No, Toby. You see, Phineas lives in the forest nearby. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have rescued everyone." Hiro explained. Toby seemed to understand.

[Meanwhile, in the Underworld]

Down in the Terror's Chamber, the Master's energy that they won off Leanbow rests on a pedestal.

"Behold, the energy of the Master! He is finally with us!" Sculpin announced. "It would be an incredible honor to serve as the vessel of the Master."

"I agree." Itassis added.

"Yes, with the Master's strength and magic, there will be no stopping whichever one of us is chosen. The Light shall be shown no mercy."

Suddenly, the Selection stone began to glow.

"Before the Master chooses one of us to be his vessel, we need to perform another selection ceremony." Itassis stated. "Now, we gather."

The remaining 4 Terrors gathered their weapons together. The stone then spat out another glowing orb. The orb continued to circle the weapons until it was absorbed into Matoombo's weapon.

"I am the one." Matoombo declared.

[Meanwhile, at Root Core]

Inside of Root Core, Jenji was drying clothes with the aid of Fire Heart.

"Hit it, fire boy." Jenji commanded. Fire Heart then spewed fire out at the wet piece of clothing. Daggeron and Udonna took notice and turned to Jenji.

"You know, when all this fighting is over, I may open up a laundry. With Fire Heart working with me, I could keep myself in catnip for years." Jenji said. Daggeron and Udonna ignored that comment and continued searching for Leanbow.

"There's no sign of Leanbow. We have looked for days. Perhaps it's time-"

"I'm not giving up." Udonna said, cutting off Daggeron.

"Surely the crystal ball would tell us something if he was with us."

"I'm not giving up looking. If I can't find him from the outside...I'll check on the inside. Sereum Novium."

After reciting the chant, Udonna's spirit separated from her body. Daggeron and Udonna walked up to the soulless body.

"Uh, is she okay in there? Uh, boo!" Jenji tried scaring Udonna, to no avail. "Yep. Lights on – Nobody home."

[At the Rock Porium]

The Rangers were getting Phineas outfitted with his very own uniform.

"Wow, my very own shirt. I'm telling you, I'll make a great employee. I have a way with people. I could sell tree moss to a swamp monkey." Phineas bragged.

"Well, you know what they say, Phineas, actions speak louder than words." Hiro commented.

"Okay, okay, it's 10:00. Stores open. Phineas, open the door and let the first customers in." Xander said to Phineas.

"Just remember, use your charm and your wit." Vida added.

"Uh...okay." Phineas said. He then walked over to the door. He turned the sign from closed to open.

"Turn the sign." he said. The VERY millisecond he opened that door, the customers fled in Terror. (Hehe)

"So, uh, how'd I do."

Before anyone could respond, thunder began roaring outside.

"Aw, what now?!" Natsu wondered.

"Could it be…?" Erza wondered.

"It must be a Terror." Hiro concluded.

"You heard them. Evil Calls. Let's go!" Nick said. All of the wizards ran past Phineas and out of the store. Outside was Matoombo lying in wait.

"My name is Matoombo. I am gathering all of your electricity. Once all of it has been siphoned, I will return it with a vengeance. My justice will be swift."

Matoombo then raised his staff in the air and spawned an energy ball, which began to absorb electicity from all across the city.

"To hell with your justice! We won't allow it!" a voice said. Matoombo was suddenly knocked to the ground by a swift punch from Hiro.

"Ugh, who dares?" Matoombo asked. Hiro was then joined by the Titan Megazord, the Solar Streak, and the Fairies.

"We do!" Nick said.

"There is nothing you can do. It will soon be over."

Matoombo then sent the energy ball away somewhere.

"As long as we're here, we won't let you have your way!" Lucy declared.

"You're ambitions are going to come to an end!" Erza added.

"I couldn't say it better myself. Come on guys, let's get him!"

The Titan Megazord spawned a sword in it's hand. The two Megazord tried striking Matoombo.

"Not so fast"

Matoombo protected himself with a blue barrier. The Megazords were then repelled. Matoombo then delievered a powerful slash from his staff that forced the Rangers out of their Megazords.

"Everyone!" Hiro cried out. He flew down to the Rangers to check on them. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah… We're good." Nick stated.

"How can he be this strong?" Daggeron wondered.

"Stay out of my way and I will not hurt anyone. I promise you that."

After those words, the Terror left the area.

"That's really weird. He said he won't hurt anyone." Vida mentioned.

"That's exactly what I was going to say." Shala admitted.

"Could that be true?" Hiro wondered.

"Yeah, right. He's obviously lying to get our guard down!" Natsu declared.

"Well said, Natsu. I guess we're more alike than I thought." Nick said.

"Yeah, like you're both reckless flame-brained idiots." Gray commented. The moment he said that, Natsu clashed heads with Gray.

"What are you trying to imply, ice stripper?" Natsu demanded.

"I'm saying that you're both stupid, flame-eater." Gray retorted.

"Enough, you two!"

Erza pushed the two bickering wizards away.

"Yes, ma'am..."

"We'd better split up and find him. Who knows how much trouble he'll cause."

Soon enough, every wizard went their separate ways, except for Hiro, Vida, Shala, Vernious, and Oceanus.

"Wow, they left fast..." Vernious said.

"It's best that we find him quickly." Oceanus declared.

"You're right, papa. He might actually be telling the truth!" Shala stated.

"If that's the case, then we better hurry." Hiro stated. The five ran off in search of Matoombo.

[With Matoombo]

Matoombo was overlooking the various humans going about their everyday business.

"Why do these humans resist the darkness and cherish each breath they take? Is it possible that their magic is that powerful?" Matoombo wondered.

"My ball?"

Before he could press the matter even further, Matoombo turned around and saw a ball bouncing down towards the road. As the kid went down to retrieve it, a car began to drive towards the boy.

"No!"

Before the boy met an unfortunate end, Matoombo shot electricity at the ball, stopping it in it's tracks. This enabled the boy to pick up his ball without danger. Matoombo then went over and removed the child from the street.

"You need to be more careful." Matoombo said to the child. Matoombo looked uo to the sky and saw the Pink Ranger, along with Hiro and Shala flying up with their dragons. "Now go."

"Well, there he is. We better call the others now..." Hiro said.

"No. Not just yet." Vida said.

"Okay." the child said to Matoombo. The child rubbed Matoombo's head and ran off. He entrusted the ball to Matoombo.

"Hmm. Why did he give me this…thing?" Matoombo wondered.

[With Udonna's spirit]

Udonna's spirit traveled throughout the Underworld in search of Leanbow.

"I know you're here, Leanbow… Somewhere."

Udonna kept searching until she noticed a large crevice nearby. She began her descent down the crevice.

[With Matoombo]

Matoombo was trying to figure out the meaning of the object he has received. Suddenly, Vida, Hiro, Shala, Vernious, and Oceanus approached Matoombo.

"It's called a ball." Vida said.

"It's supposed to be used for playing." Shala added on.

"Here, lemme see it."

Vida then took the ball from Matoombo.

"You can do lots of things with it. You can bounce it."

Vida began bouncing the ball around. Matoombo seemed interested at it.

"You can spin it."

Vida then spun the ball in the air.

"You can kick it."

Vida then kicked the ball, which hit Matoombo's face. Everyone present were shocked by this. They were worried that Matoombo would take that negatively. However, to their surprise, Matoombo just laughed it off. The five chuckled nervously.

"Wow, he's quite the understanding guy." Vernious said.

"He still has to catch it. You know, with his hands?" Oceanus commented. Matoombo just laughed. While he was, a question comes to Hiro's mind.

"Matoombo, was it? Be real with me for a second. You're not like the others, are you?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" Matoombo asked.

"See, unlike the other bastards we faced thus far, you don't seem to want to bring harm to anyone." Shala said.

"You are mistaken! I am Matoombo, energy warrior of the Underworld!"

"You can drop the act. I can tell you're not truly evil. And believe me, I've seen way too many evil people." Hiro said.

"Hiro's got a point. Besides, we all saw you save that child from getting hurt. You have a good heart." Vida said.

"Heart?" Matoombo asked. One by one, the five introduced themselves to Matoombo.

"My name's Vida. I'm the Pink Ranger."

"I'm Hiro, the Plasma Dragon Slayer."

"Call me Shala! I'm the Water Dragon Slayer!"

"The name's Vernious. I'm the Plasma Dragon!"

"Oceanus, the Water Dragon."

"Hello." Matoombo greeted the five. Before he could complete a handshake, Matoombo was assaulted by green lasers.

"What the hell?!"

Suddenly, three swords came flying at Matoombo, who thankfully ducked out of the way. The assaulters was none other than Xander and Erza.

"Guys, what are you doing?!" Shala asked in shock.

"What does it look like? We're trying to save the world!" Xander said. He and Erza charged at Matoombo. Before they could get even within one centimeter close to him, Hiro jumped in the way of their assault.

"That is enough!" Hiro shouted.

"Hiro, you need to get out of the way right this second." Erza demanded.

"No! I won't let you hurt him!: Hiro said, rebelling against Erza's orders.

"Are you insane?! He's trying to destroy our world!" Xander countered.

"I am Matoombo, conqueror of your world!" Matoombo randomly said.
"See?! He even admits it! So, let us pass so we can-"

"You shut up!" Hiro shouted, cutting off Xander. "You two just don't get it. Matoombo here is not like the others. He even saved a child from getting hit by a car! The other Terrors would have left that child for dead! Due to his actions there, I consider Matoombo my friend. I won't allow anyone to harm him! If you want to get to Matoombo, you gotta get through me first!"

"This is getting ridiculous! Erza, can you talk some sense into him?" Xander asked.

"… No.: Erza said.

"Say what?!"

"Once Hiro gets like this, nothing will be able to break him." Erza admitted.

[In the Depths of the Underworld]

The Master's soul began to glow bright.

"Excellent! The Master comes! The time has come for the Master to choose his vessel." Sculpin said. The Master's soul then passed through the stone.

"Now, I wonder who will be the chosen one?" Sculpin wondered.

[With Matoombo]

Xander demorphed and Erza dropped their weapons. Suddenly, the energy ball returned to Matoombo.

"The electricity I gathered has returned to destroy this world." Matoombo said.

"Matoombo, please. I beg of you, don't do this." Shala begged. Matoombo then lit up his spear. He then used it to fling the energy ball at Hiro, who promptly absorbed it.

"Yahoo! Thanks a lot, Matoombo! I knew you couldn't do it!" Vida cheered.

"Wow. I guess you five were right. There really is good in him." Erza said. Suddenly, something struck Matoombo from underground, coating him in purple energy.

"No!" everyone screamed. Matoombo kept rolling down until he landed near a street. The energy he was coated in was then absorbed into his body.

"What happened?" Matoombo wondered. He was then greeted by Itassis and Gekkor.

"Why did you save the humans?" Gekkor asked. Matoombo managed to get back on his feet.

"The Master has chosen you to be his vessel." Itassis explained.

"Do you even serve the Master still?" Gekkor asked.

"I…do not."

Matoombo then got his weapon ready.

[With Udonna]

Udonna continued to search through the crevice.

"Where are you?" Udonna wondeed. She then heard pained groans. She turned and saw Leanbow lying on the ground.

"Leanbow!" she said. She quickly ran over to Leanbow.

[With the Rangers]

Vida, Xander, Hiro, Shala, Vernious, Oceanus, and Erza arrived at the confrontation.

"If that's the case, then you'll perish along with the humans you intend to protect!"

Before Gekkor could deliver an attack on Matoombo, Hiro appeared before him and blocked his sword.

"Well, it appears we got a speedy human here."

Hiro and Gekkor then moved back from each other.

"Despite your impressive speed, I'll have you know that I'm the fastest Terror in the Underworld."

"Is that right? That's rather impressive for an ugly bastard such as yourself." Hiro taunted. That insult pissed off Gekkor.

"That's it! Jut so you know, only one of us will be left standing!"

After that declaration, Gekkor vanished.

"Well, I couldn't agree more!" Hiro said. He vanished as well.

[Sonic OVA – South Island]

Faster then the eye can see, Hiro and Gekkor exchanged fists with each other before vanishing again. Across the city, two green light continuously clashed with each other. After the 4th clash, Hiro and Gekkor afterimage close to each other, leading them to butt heads with each other.

"You may be the fastest Terror alive, but I'll have you know that I'm basically the fastest human alive. What a coincidence isn't it? Grr!"

The two of them ascended into the sky and continued their fight. Hiro managed to sucker punch Gekkor, only for Gekkor to get him back with a swing of his sword. The other Rangers and Fairies arrived at the scene.

"Are you guys okay?" Gray asked.

"Yes, but we gotta help Matoombo!"

As Vida said that, Gekkor tried to strike Hiro again. However, the Hiro he attacked was just an afterimage.

"What?! Where did he go?!"

As Gekkor wondered where his adversary went, Hiro transformed into Dragon Force state and flew down at top speeds.

"Plasma Dragon Iron Fist!"

Coating his fist in energy, Hiro rammed Gekkor into the ground with his attack.

"Ugh, why am I wasting time with the human, when I could be wasting time on Matoombo?" Gekkor wondered. Once he recovered, he afterimage right in front of Matoombo. "Like it or not, Matoombo, you will serve as the Master's body!"

"I'm not going to let this happen!" Vida declared. She then grabbed Daggeron's punch card and Morpher.

"Vida, no!"

"Come on, Solar Streak!"

[End Theme]

Before Gekkor could deal the finishing blow, the Solar Streak appeared behind him. He flew out of the way before he got trampled.

"All aboard!" Jenji called out. Vida then grabbed Jenji.

"Come on, Jenji!"

Vida quickly went over to Matoombo and picked him up.

"You're not going anywhere!"

Gekkor shot down towards Matoombo. Before he could get close, he was kicked far by Hiro. The Solar Streak began to take off, with Vida and Matoombo in tow.

"Vida! No!" Daggeron called out. Hiro then placed a card on his Dimension Disk.

"Activate! Light Chain!"

Hiro shot a white chain from his Disk and wrapped it on a pipe near the caboose. Hiro began elevating from the ground.

"Grab on!" Hiro called out to Shala. Shala got the message and grabbed Hiro's hand. Their dragons grabbed on to Shala's hand.

"Like hell you're leaving without me! Let's go, Happy!"

"Aye!"

Happy placed his paws on Natsu. His magic then enabled him to carry Natsu with ease. He sprout his wings via his Aera magic and flew onto the Solar Streak.

"Wait for me, Salamander!" Gajeel shouted. Panther Lily attached himself to Gajeel's back and carried him with his Aera magic. The Solar Streak then passed through a dimensional gate.

"I can't believe she did that!" Nick said in astonishment.

"At this point, nothing she does surprises me anymore." Chip commented.

"Maybe I can surprise you." Itassis spoke up. "I may hold all the answers you desire.

[On the Solar Streak]

The Solar Streak was well on it's way to it's destination.

"Oh, Daggeron is gonna put me in the cat box for doing this." Jenji, who was manning the train, said. Meanwhile, Vida managed to help Matoombo sit down in the passenger seat.

"Are you alright?" she asked.

"Yes, I'm much better now." Matoombo replied.

"Good."

Suddenly, Gekkor burst in through the back door.

"Matoombo, it's over! You can't escape me or your fate!"

Suddenly, Natsu, Gajeel, Happy, Panther Lily, Hiro, Shala, Vernious, and Oceanus dropped down from the emegency exits.

"Hey, who permitted you to be on this train?" Hiro asked.

"I don't need permission! Especially from a human!"

Gekkor began charging at Hiro.

"Then, I'm afraid to say that I have to remove you from this train. Goodbye!"

With a single punch, Hiro knocked Gekkor off of the train.

"This isn't over! I will get you for this, Matoombo!"


[In the Underworld]

Gekkor walked right back to Sculpin to inform him about the situation.

"It's Matoombo! He's betrayed us all!" Gekkor complained.

"Relax, Gekkor. I've seen everything, and I know exactly where's he headed." Sculpin said. "Matoombo's going to..."

[With Itassis]

"The Sleeping Lake within the Dawn Dimension." Itassis said to the wizards.

"How do we get there?" Daggeron asked.

"I am not like the others. I only crave knowledge, not power or destruction. I'll send you there myself after you tell me what I need to know." Itassis explained.

"How do we know you'll still help us once we give you the information you want?" Chip asked.

"I figured you wouldn't trust me so easily. So, as a token of good faith, I will send two of you right now." Itassis said. "If given the answer I seek, I will send the others."

All of the wizards were saying one at a time that they want to go, except for Xander and Erza.

"I can sense your burning determination But, I have already made my choice. I will send you two."

After saying those words, Itassis warped Xander and Erza to the Dawn Dimension.

[Back in the Underworld]

"Gekkor, you must stop him before he gets to the Sleeping Lake. If Matoombo steps into the waters, he will sleep for eternity. If that should come to pass, the Master will never arise. That is why we must do everything possible to avoid that outcome." Sculpin explained.

"Understood. I won't let him reach the Lake." Gekkor said.

[In the Dawn Dimension]

The group was traveling through a forest in search of the Sleeping Lake.

"It's so beautiful here." Vida said.

"Yes, it sets the mind at ease." Matoombo said.

"So, this place will really seal the Master away?" Happy asked.

"Yes. The moment I enter the lake, I will sleep for eternity. That way, the Master can never return." Matoombo explained.

"Seems legit enough. But, fish-breath is bound to come after Matoombo." Vernious said.

"So what? We'll cobble him before he gets the chance!" Natsu declared.

"… Natsu?"

"Yeah?"

"You do mean clobber, right? To cobble means to make a shoe." Hiro explained.

"Whatever! I still mean what I say!" Natsu defended himself.

"… Eh. Say what you want."

"Guys!"

The group turned and saw Xander and Erza running up to them.

"Xander-san! Erza-chan!" Hiro called out. Suddenly, the group were assaulted by green lasers.

"Oh, what now?!" Gajeel asked.

"Surprise, bitches!" Gekkor said, descending down to the group. Vida and Xander ran up to Matoombo to help him up. "There's nowhere to run, traitor! Surrender to the Master or be eliminated!"

Gekkor prepared to launch an attack.

"Legend Warriors!"

As the Rangers transformed into Legend Warrior mode, Gekkor fired white energy needles at the group. While Vida and Xander delfected some, Hiro guarded Matoombo with a barrier.

"There's too many!" Vida stated.

"One is too many!" Xander complained. Xander was struck by a needle. Gekkor then brought a shining orb into the air. The orb rained down many blue needles at Xander. Lucky, Erza, clad in her Black Wing armor, blocked every single one.

"Thanks Erza, I owe you one."

"Anytime, Xander." Erza said.

"Why you little-!"

Before Gekkor could finish, Natsu ignited his fist.

"Sorry, but we ain't got time to fool around with you. Fire Dragon Eruption!"

Natsu punched the ground with his flaming fist, causing a plume of fire to shoot up from the ground Gekkor was standing on. When the flames subsided, Gekkor was burnt to a crisp. Also, the group was gone.

"Where the f**k did they go?!" Gekkor demanded.

[With Udonna]

Udonna ran to Leanbow's aid.

"Leanbow!"

Leanbow was laying on the ground, wounded after his earlier attack.

"I am not letting you go. Snow Staff!"

Udonna summoned her Snow Staff. She aimed her staff at Leanbow. The Staff began to glow.

[With the Wizards]

"Alright then, what do you want to know?" Gray asked.

"A simple answer to a simple question. Despite our obvious superiority towards you, time after time, you bested us. Why is that?"

"You really want to know why we always beat you? It's because we're better than you!" Nick said impatiently.

"Careful. The wrong answer will cost you everything." Itassis warned the Red Ranger.

"You want to know why we beat you? Well, here's why. It's true that you're more powerful. Yeah, you can become bigger than us."

"Yes?"

"What we have that you don't is something that no wizard or witch could ever give you." Chip began. Madison then stepped forward.

"No spell can bring it forth. You can't buy it or borrow it from someone else." Madison added.

"You can't teach it." Daggeron added.

"Everyone is born with it. They just have to step forward and claim it as theirs." Nick added.

"It can even help people fight for what is right without fear." Lucy added.

"What is it?" Itassis asked.

"Courage." all the wizards said in unison.

"What?"

"Courage is when you put someone else's well-being ahead of your own."

"And why would you do such a thing?" Itassis asked.

"You just do."

[With Gekkor]

After recovering from Natsu's attack, Gekkor began searching the skies for Matoombo.

"Where the hell are they? There's no possible way they could have gone far!" Gekkor complained. Gekkor then spots the group running. "Gotcha."

"We need to keep moving!" Hiro said to the group.

"You fools can't escape me!" Gekkor stated.

"Then how did we escape the last time?" Natsu asked, angering Gekkor.

"Why, you…!"

Gekkor began raining down lasers in rage. The group either dodged or blocked them. In Hiro's case, he ate the one's that tried to strike him. The group jumped from the cliff and landed in an open area. Gekkor then made his descent.

"Now that I – What the f**k?!"

Gekkor then noticed that "Matoombo" had a pink bow around his waist.

"Are you kidding me?! I've been tailing the Pink Ranger this entire time?! Rrragh!"

Gekkor fired lightning bolts at "Matoombo". Because of the attack, the transformation expired.

"You're a 2-time loser – Ugly and gullible." Vida commented. The resulted in some 'oohs' from the group.

"Oh, get wrecked scrub!" Hiro added.

"With you chasing us, our tall, cotton-headed friend had enough time to get away to the Sleeping Lake. Take that one up to your Master." Xander taunted. This threw Gekkor over the edge.

"You humans…have made me MAD!"

With a slash from his spear, a giant explosion knocked the group back.

"I have had it up to HERE with your trickery! And now, allow me to escort you all straight to HELL!"

Gekkor then enveloped himself in red energy. He sprouted another set of arms and wings. His visor split into 2 and he gained red markings across his body. His eyes also turned blood red. The group got into fighting stances.

[With Udonna]

Udonna was continuing to heal Leanbow with her magic

"Behold the power of good magic." she said.

[With the group]

Gekkor began to attack everyone at impossible speeds. After about 20 consecutive attacks, the group was lying on the ground, exhausted from the brutal attacks.

"Had enough, humans?" Gekkor asked.

"Not on your life, fish-face!" Hiro said.

"We ain't done yet!" Shala said. Once the duo stood up, they changed into Ascendant Force state.

"Now, my orbs, scatter!"

Hiro then split two of his orbs into multiple pieces. He then barraged Gekkor with all of his mini-orbs, dealing significant damage in the process.

"Dragon Maelstrom!"

Shala slammed her palm on the ground. When she did, Gekkor was enveloped in a powerful whirlpool.

"Wh-What is this?!" Gekkor asked as he was being spun around in the whirlpool. Once the whirlpool spat him out, he was assaulted by lasers from the other Rangers. Gray and Lucy also joined the fray.

"You guys alright?" Nick asked.

"I've been better." Vida replied.

"You know what? I have had ENOUGH!"

Gekkor then delivered fast-paced attacks on the entire group. Most of the group wound up injured. When Gekkor advanced to Hiro, a flurry of punches took place that took them to the skies. Hiro then landed a dropkick on Gekor that sent him plummeting to the ground. Gekkor managed to recover from the ground.

"While that didn't do much damage, damn did it feel good to waste you." Hiro taunted.

"Oh, you think your cute?!" Gekkor shouted.

"Dude, I'm way more cute than you." Hiro retorted.

"Well, see if you think this is cute! Demon Bomb!"

Gekkor materialized a large green energy ball. He threw it at Hiro, who tried his best to block it.

"So sorry to have to say this, but our little game ends here!"

Gekkor then thrust his hand forward, causing the Demon Bomb to explode.

"It's over."

However, next thing he new, his attack was being absorbed. Not by Hiro, but someone else. He appeared to be middle age, as he had gray streaks in his hair. He even had a beard growing in. He donned a form of warrior robe.

"Leanbow!" Gekkor called out.

"Dad!" Nick called out.

"So, that's him. Nick's father that he lost all those years ago..." Hiro said.

"Good job, Rangers. Well done, son. It's a pleasure to see you once again as well, wizards from another world." Leanbow greeted his allies. "I'll take it from here."

"But, I thought you were -"

"I'm not." Leabow said. He held up a red Mystic Morpher.

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!"

After chanting those words, a magic seal appeared above him. Once it dropped to the ground, Leanbow became clad in armor similar to Koragg, but red.

"Whoa." everyone said.

"Burning heart of fire! Wolf Warrior, defender of truth!"

"How is this possible?" Gekkor asked

"Udonna's good magic saved me."

[With Udonna]

Udonna's spirit successfully returned to her body. She bore a big smile on her face.

[Back to Leanbow]

"This world has been kept whole because of these wizards."

"And now we're safe thank to you!" Hiro commented.

"And we're all gonna be safe because of Matoombo." Vida said.

"Oh, gag me right out of the door. While you continue this love-fest, I will crush you!"

"We'll see!"

Leanbow and Gekkor began a series of clashes from their weapons. However, it looked like Gekkor was getting the upper hand.

"Leanbow's in trouble… We gotta help him!" Hiro declared.

"On it! Code 1! Whirlwind!"

Vida spawned a magic sphere and unleashed a whirlwind.

"Well, it looks like you'll be done in by your own team!" Gekkor said. He jumped out of the way of the attack. The only target left was Leanbow. Luckily for him, Hiro blocked it with one of his orbs. The Whirlwind attack was absorbed into the Judgement orb.

"Ha! You need to work on your aim, missy!" Gekkor taunted.

"Shut up! You jumped out of the way! Guess you can't take a girl's attack after all." Vida retorted.

"Hey, try not to rile him up too much, Vida. I mean, more then he already is."

While Hiro was talking, the orb that absorbed the wind attack turned pink. The orb circled Hiro till it compressed to a ring of pink light. The ring entered Hiro's body, causing him to change. Hiro's cloak turned pink and his wings began to unfurl more. Natsu and Gray laughed at Hiro's appearance.

"Oh, dude! You just turned pink! This is such a riot!" Natsu laughed.

"Shut up! This coming from a guy with pink hair!"

As Hiro pointed his finger in rage, he accidentally shot an air bullet at Natsu, knocking him back. Witnessing that, Hiro looked at his hands.

"Wind… I can feel the power of wind coursing through me..."

[Dragon Ball Super – Believe in Yourself]

Hiro's aura flared to life, which consisted of two colors: pink and green. He appeared before Gekkor and landed a barrage of punches at Gekkor. While he was deteriorated, Hiro placed his hand on the ground and summoned a tornado that engulfed Gekkor. Hiro then summoned a ball of plasma. Suddenly, Vida ran up to him.

"Hiro, lemme help you out." Vida suggested.

"Sure!"

Vida placed her hands around the plasma ball. It turned pink and filled with more power.

"Go for it!"

Hiro flew up and dived right into the tornado. A few moments later, a big explosion took place that forced Gekkor back. After the attack, Hiro returned to his normal color.

"That was awesome! I wanna try another one!" Hiro said in excitement.

"I got you covered! Code 1: Rock Slide!"

Xander formed a green circle and chucked large rocks at Hiro. Hiro absorbed them all into his orb. The orb turned dark green and circled Hiro until it was absorbed into his body, changing his color to dark green.

"Here I come!"

While Gekkor's guard was down, Hiro launched a magic- enhanced punch at Gekkor, which pushed him back. He then began to gather energy into a single orb. Xander then walked up to him.

"Finish him, Hiro." Xander said. He placed his hand underneath Hiro's. This action caused the sphere to grow to massive proportions.

"Alright! We end this now!"

Leaping into the air, Hiro threw the large or at Gekkor, who tried to block it.

"Leanbow! This is it!"

"Yes! In the name of honor, Blazing Storm Slash!"

Igniting his blade in flames, Leanbow delivered a blazing slash at the orb, causing it to grow. Hiro then thrust his right arm forward, causing the orb to explode. All that remained of Gekkor was a giant crater.

"Mystic Force!" the Rangers and Leanbow chanted. Hiro and Shala turned to each other and nodded. The flew off somewhere.

"Hey, where are those two going?" Natsu asked.

"Who knows." Gajeel replied.

[With Matoombo]

Matoombo kept on trekking through the woods until he found the lake.

"I have found it. It is truly beautiful – A perfect place to spend eternity, and the Master will not bring forth his destruction."

"Yes he will." a new voice said. Sculpin walked right up to Matoombo.

"No, he won't!" another voice said. Sculpin was suddenly kicked by Shala.

"Ugh…who dares?!" Sculpin demanded.
"We do!" Hiro and Shala said in unison.

"Sorry, but we can't let you revive the Master!" Shala declared. "Hiro, let's do this."

The duo then raced towards Sculpin. Hiro and Shala then delivered multiple strikes continuously at Sculpin. The duo then jumped back and prepared their final attack. Their auras flared up in response.

"Haaah! Tidal..."

"Explosion!"

Hiro and Shala combined their Tidal Burst and Dragon Explosion attacks together. The Dragon Explosion gained rings of water surrounding it. Sculpin was enshrouded in the blast.

"This can't be the end for me!" Sculpin said. Luckily for him, someone got him out of the way before he faded into nothing. Hiro and Shala fell from exhaustion, reverting to normal state.

"It's finally over..." Shala said in satisfaction.

"No… It's not..." Hiro said.

"What do you mean?"

"If he were dead, we wouldn't be able to sense him. Which means..."
When the smoke cleared, it was revealed that it was Maya that saved Sculpin. Sculpin was then released.

"Hurry up and summon the Master. I'll take care of these two." Maya ordered Sculpin

"Don't tell me what to do, human." Sculpin said in defiance.

"Just do it! We still have to fill out another chapter after this!"

"Fine." Sculpin begrudgingly complied. Maya then approached an exhausted Shala and Hiro. When she got close, Hiro's pendant began to close. A dark aura was expelled from Maya. In addition, her clothes turned from purple to white.

"Hiro? Shala? What are you doing here?" Maya asked. When she got close, Hiro jumped up and got into a fighting stance.

"You… What do you want?" Hiro asked.

"What do you mean? I don't want to hurt you." Maya said.

"And how am I supposed to believe that?! You destroyed Salta Village and tried to kill me!"

"Salta Village?"

"Don't play dumb with me! That was my home… The place I was born and raised in!"

"… Oh god, what has he done with your memories..." Maya groaned.

"Wait, what?!"

Maya then turned and saw Sculpin about to execute Matoombo.

"Listen, we only got about 200 words before we need to go, so I'll give you the gist. Hiro, you were never born in this Salta Village you spoke of. Both of you were born in another dimension we call the Majestic Realm." Maya explained, confusing the duo.

"Majestic Realm?" the duo asked in unison.

"Yes. This realm is a special place where Divine In-Force is abundant. Literally every resident has it in their blood. Including the two of you."

"All this time, we innately had the power of Divine In-Force? That's crazy!" Shala said.

"Maybe not. If we already had the potential, that may explain a few thing about me..." Hiro said. He began to remember the times he unconsciously tapped into the power.

"Now, I've been friends with Shala's family for quite some time. Honestly, I consider them my family. And when you two were younger, you were inseparable. Just like..."

"Siblings..." Hiro said with joy.

"Aw, Hiro..."

Shala shared an embrace with Hiro.

"Now, long story short, a demonic dragon who dubbed himself the Shadow Emperor Dragon Faust terrorized our home until a good dragon used the power of the 4 Sacred cards to separate Faust and split his soul into four." Maya said. At that moment, Sculpin delivered a killing slash to Matoombo.

"Aw crap, we reached 200 words. You need to go, now!" Maya ordered.

"But, we didn't get all the details!" Hiro whined.

"I'll tell you everything while you two will be attending school in Paris!" Maya stated.

"...What?"

"Just go!"

Hiro and Shala flew away as quickly as they could. When Hiro was out of range, the shadow enveloped Maya again, changing her clothes back to purple.

[With the group]

The group got acquainted with Leanbow. While they were, Vida looked a little sad.
"What's wrong. "V"? You should be happy." Xander said to Vida.

"I am. I'm just gonna miss him."

"I'll miss him, too." Xander said.

"As will I. Matoombo has made a noble sacrifice that saved us all. He will not be forgotten." Erza said.

"Hey guys!" Hiro called out from above. He and Shala made their descent towards the group.

"What happened?" Natsu asked.

"Two things. One, Natsu, Gray, Erza, do you remember when I told you where I came from?"

"Yeah, you said you came from Salta Village? Why?" Natsu asked.

"Well, see, that wasn't the case at all. I just learned that me and Shala were truly born in the Majestic Realm." he said, shocking the Fairies, except for Erza.

"Hmm, so Master Makarov was right after all." Erza noted.

"Wait, he knew?!" Hiro asked in shock. Erza replied with a nod.

"Enough of that! What was the second thing?" Gajeel asked.

"Well..."

Suddenly, the sky turned dark. The wizards saw Matoombo's expanding body.

"Matoombo!" Vida cried out.

"That! The second thing was that!" Hiro added. Suddenly, tentacles sprouted out of Matoombo's body. Matoombo's body then morphed into something completely sinister. It was a skeletal fallen angel-like beast with a skull-like face, a black mask that hid his brain, and numerous tentacles.

"At long last, I have been reborn!" the beast stated. The beast began to laugh.

"The Master has returned." Leanbow stated.

"Remember my name well, wizards. I am Octomus. You will perish Leanbow, as will Solaris Knight. Here, take a good look into your future."

All of a sudden, Daggeron's head began to hurt. He was shown a vision of him, in Ancient Mystic Mode, falling by the hands of Octomus.

"And then, one by one, you will fall, as will your world."

Then, Maya suddenly flew up to Octomus.

"At last we meet, Octomus." Maya said evilly.

"A human dares addresses me?! What do you want?!" Octomus demanded.

"Relax, big guy, I just wanna give you a present."

Maya levitated a purple orb to Octomus.

"What is this?" Octomus asked, officially intrigued.

"Recently, I have bestowed the power of the curse onto your 10 Terrors. With the power of this Dark Energy Sphere, you can absorb that power and make it your own." Maya explained.

"Intriguing. But, that will be for another time."
At that moment, Octomus flew off to parts unknown.

"Now this… This is bad..." Nick stated.

"Couldn't agree with you more..." Hiro added.

[Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V – Vision]


Shala here! Things have really turned for the worst! Now that the Master has been revived, this world is in serious danger, yo! Huh, what's that butterfly doing? Eh?! It caused Nick to become Koragg?! What is going on…
