Though neither one of them saw his face, they were sure that he was calming down. Ranru was the first to approach him.

"It's OK." she said, "We're not your enemies. I don't know what this guy has done to you, but he will get what's coming to him. Let us help you! Please!"

The red and black guy's heavy breathing seemed to simmer down, and his Abare-mode shut itself down too. A smile crept upon on Ranru's face as she crept closer to him.

"Good. Don't be afraid!" Ranru tried to keep the tension down, "We don't want to hurt you."

She moved very close to him. The other ones were surprised to see this actually worked. What they didn't anticipate was that the dark armoured man was getting up as well. Only this time, he didn't say much. He couldn't believe what he witnessed here either. As for the red and black guy, he felt a lot going through him as Ranru approached him. In fairness, he didn't know what it was either. Fear? Anger? Grieve? Happyness? Friendlyness? Love? Anyone who looked at his hands, which were still holding his tonfas, would notice that with each step she took, his grip on his weapons got tighter. As soon as Ranru was in range, he immediately wrapped his right arm around her neck, holding her in front of him like a bankrobber would hold a hostage.

Everyone was startled at this sudden turn of events. Ryouga was the first one to talk: "What are you doing?"

"Nice work!" the dark armoured man congratulated him, "You're finaly doing what you have to!"

The red and black guy held up his left arm, pumping energy into it, until his left tonfa looked like a ray of red light, and threw it at the dark armoured man. When it hit him, it returned to the red and black man like a boomerang would.

"Can't you pick your side?" Yukito got confused of his behaviour.

The red and black guy didn't listen. He held on to Ranru very tightly, and jumped away with her, while she kept screaming for him to let her go.

"Brachio!" Asuka contacted his Blastdragon, "Find him!"

"Silently change the world back to normal." Brachio said, before releasing Tyranno, Kera and Ptera to find the red and black guy.

"Now look what you've done!" the dark armoured man stated, "You confused him! You turned him into..."

"Save you r breath!" Yukito interrupted.

"I don't know who he is to you!" Ryouga shouted, "But we won't rest until we..."

"Until you... what?!" the man interrupted him back, "He has no life out here! And there's nothing either one of you can possibly do for him!"

Having this said, the man made himself disappear.

Meanwhile, the Blastdragons looked for the guy, but didn't find him at all.

"Ranru!" Ptera called out.

"He couldn't just disappear like that!" Tyranno remarked.

"He must still be here!" Kera said.

Suddenly, a nearby building fell apart. All three of them turned around. From under the collapsed building came another Blastdragon. It too looked like Tyranno, except for the horns above it's eyes, it's black markings, and the fact that he appeared a little smaller than Tyranno. Yet, he didn't seem less dangerous because of it.

"He must be that guy's Blastdragon!" Kera decided.

"Let's get him!" Tyranno commanded.

This seemed to be easier said than done. This Blastdragon, because of it's size, it was fast enough to dodge every one of Tyranno's attacks. He was also lighter in weight, allowing him to jump away when Kera did his rhinocerous-esque attack. And Ptera, though the angriest of the three, she flew at him like a spear, but he somehow always managed to avoid every attack.

Eventually, Top Galer decided to intervene with the battle. He flew himself down to headbutt the Blastdragon, but the latter jumped up, landing on Top Galer's back, and scratching his back with it's very sharp claws.

The Abarangers, meanwhile, witnessed the whole thing happen.

"What the hell is that thing?" Asuka wondered, "I've never seen that before!"

"It looks like an Allosaurus to me." Ryouga replied.

"Meaning?" Yukito wasn't the least bit interested to know what it is.

"Is Stegoslidon here?" Nakadai asked Asuka, whom nodded, "Good! Bakuryuu change."

He turned back into Abarekiller, and merged himself with Top Galer.

Shortly after that, Stego appeared at the scene too: "So good to see you're allright!"

Top Galer grabbed Stego, after which the two merged together to form KillerOh. For what it's worth, knowing that they can't form AbarenOh without Ranru, Yukito and Ryouga changed too, merged with their Blastdragons, and together they formed AbarenOhJi. Together, they cornered the Blastdragon.

"Listen to us!" Abared started, "I don't know what that guy told you, but we..."

He didn't get a chance to finish. The Blastdragon started standing on it's tail alone, which had split itself up to become legs. Then the Blastdragon's left leg and arm merged into one arm, and it's right arm and leg merged into another. Furthermore, it's head lowered, allowing a humanoid head to show itself. And suddenly the Blastdragon had a humanoid form too.

"Doesn't look like it's listening." Abarekiller remarked.

"Then we'd have to force him to!" Abared decided.

Together they attacked, but even the powerfull KillerOh had trouble with him. Whatever it is that drove either the guy or his Blastdragon to this madness, it made them both very strong oponents. It didn't take long before either one of the Abarangers decided to use full force.

Though they knew it wouldn't be as powerfull, Abared and Abareblue decided to give it a shot anyway: "Dengeki Drill Spin!"

Abarekiller lost his patience too: "Death Stinger!"

Before either one of them could execute their attacks however, the humanoid creature opened it's Blastdragon's mouth, revealing what it was hiding in there the whole time. Once everyone saw it, they could not believe this.

"Ranru!" Abared seemed mostly shocked at this.

Indeed. Ranru lay in the Blastdragon's mouth, unconcious. How she got there, or how she could have just as easily fainted, nobody knew.

"Hiding himself behind her!" Abareblue couldn't understand how low anyone could fall.

The Blastdragon, who had changed back, couldn't care less. He saw that the Abarangers didn't want to attack, or do anything else anymore, so he took this to it's advantage, and ran away.

THE END

... or not?

Note: the new Blastdragon used here is mine.
