A Godly Appearance Part 2

At Howlett Manor, Nathan and Nicole are in Nathan's office, using the two computers to try and locate Hikaru. Nicole looks over to Nathan. "Do you have any luck?" she asks. Nathan shakes his head. "No." he says. "But I have a feeling that they probably took him to wherever it is the Deus Triumvirate stays." "So maybe in the Gold Summit?" Nicole asks. Nathan nods. "We should wait to hear from Adrian and Allison." he says. Nicole nods.

As the two continue their search, Ayumi is shown watching them from outside Nathan's office. She turns away with an angry look. She flashes back to a year before.

In the flashback, Ayumi, shown at her current age, is shown walking over to Hikaru, who is leaning over his bed with his eyes closed. She sits at her side. "Are you feeling okay?" she asks. Hikaru just looks up, not even looking at Ayumi and with an angry look on his face. "Please talk to me daddy!" Ayumi says, sounding desperate and sad. Hikaru doesn't answer and walks away from Ayumi, refusing to even look at her.

Much later, Nathan and Ayumi are shown showing Hikaru the Plasma Morpher and Plasma Defender. Hikaru doesn't say anything and simply takes the two devices before walking out. Ayumi rushes after him, running out of Nathan's house. Nathan walks up behind them. Ayumi catches Hikaru and grabs him by the arm. "Daddy please stop!" she says. "You haven't said anything to me since mom died! Why won't you talk to me?!" Hikaru just ignores her and pushes her back. "No!" Ayumi says, and she runs in front of Hikaru, standing face-to-face with him. "I'm not letting you go! You're going to talk to me!" As she does, Nathan, who was standing at the door of Howlett Manor, walks over to the two. "Please say something!" Ayumi says. Hikaru growls. "Get out of my way!" he says, pushing Ayumi to the side and knocking her on her back. Nathan gasps and runs over to Ayumi, helping her up. Ayumi starts weeping and puts her head against Nathan, as he comforts her. Hikaru just keeps walking. "What are you doing Hikaru?!" Nathan asks. Hikaru stops and looks back at Nathan. "Right now, all that matters is me getting revenge for my wife!" he says. "Nothing else!" He walks off, leaving Nathan to watch after him in shock. Ayumi keeps weeping.

Ayumi flashes back, still looking angry. She walks off

At the temple, Caelumis is with Hikaru, who is still chained up. Caelumis laughs as he walks in. "What are you doing here?" Hikaru asks. "I just didn't want you to miss the show." he says. "What show?" Hikaru says. "This one." Caelumis says, snapping his fingers. As he does, a vision of the city is shown as Chimeroar walks up on a building top.

At the city, Chimeroar laughs as he holds up one of Hikaru's Millennium Discs. "This should be fun!" he says. "PlasTaurus! Arise!"

As Chimeroar says this, PlasTaurus, who is standing dormant in the forest, suddenly awakens again as his eyes light up. He bellows as he roars into life, charging toward the city.

Elsewhere, at the Gold Summit, Adrian and Allison are looking through the mountains. As they make it up to the top of a steep hill, Allison looks forward, squinting as she sees a light in the near distance. "Adrian look!" she says. Adrian walks over to her to see the same light. "Let's check it out!" he says. The two rush off in the direction of the light.

A few minutes later, the two stop. "Look!" Adrian says. The two see the temple at the very peak of the mountain, just under a large group of dark clouds. "That must be it!" Allison says. "Let's call Nathan." "Right." Adrian says, holding his Morpher up. "Nathan come in." he says.

At Howlett Manor, Nathan and Nicole speak to Adrian over Nathan's communicator on his computer. "Yes Adrian?" Nathan says. "We've located a temple in the Gold Summit." Adrian says. "We got a feeling its where the Deus Triumvirate is." Nathan and Nicole smile. "That's great Adrian!" Nicole says. "I'll call Chris and Bryan to meet up with you." Nathan says.

At the city, PlasTaurus walks into the city until he is in front of Chimeroar. Chimeroar laughs. "Now let's see if these Millennium Beasts are capable of destruction!" he says. PlasTaurus bellows in shock and attempts to turn away. "No you don't!" Chimeroar says and jumps forward, using the Millennium Disc to merge with PlasTaurus, who bellows in protesting displeasure as he does.

Chimeroar appears in PlasTaurus' cockpit, which looks identical to that of the other Millennium Beasts with orange lighting. Chimeroar takes to the control pod. "Destroy all PlasTaurus!" he says.

PlasTaurus bellows in protest as he tries to fight Chimeroar, but unable to as he begins charging forward.

Chris and Bryan are driving toward the Gold Summit in Bryan's Jeep. They hear screaming in the distance. "What's that?" Bryan asks. Chris looks out of Bryan's window, his eyes widening with shock. "Look!" he says. Bryan looks up to see PlasTaurus rampaging through the city, ramming buildings with his horns and summoning plasma bolts from in between his horns, shooting them at buildings.

Bryan stops his Jeep as the two get out.

At Howlett Manor, Bryan's voice comes in on Nathan's communicator. "Nate!" Bryan says. "Hikaru's Millennium Beast in on the loose!" "Yeah, its attacking the city!" Chris says. "What?!" Nathan asks in shock, looking at his laptop to see PlasTaurus continuing his rampage.

"Damn it!" Nathan says. "I was afraid of this!" Nicole watches with shock.

PlasTaurus fires another plasma bolt and both Chris and Bryan flip out of the way to avoid being hit. "Millennium Power! Total Access!" they call out, Morphing as they dodge the attack and finding cover behind a building. "We got to stop that thing!" Bryan says. "Right!" Chris says. The two take out their Millennium Discs. "Millennium Beasts!" they call out.

Gorignem and Rhypier both appear in the city. Chris and Bryan jump forward, merging with them and taking control. "Let's go!" Chris says. "Right!" Bryan says.

At the temple, Caelumis shows Hikaru PlasTaurus' rampage, watching it engage with Gorignem and Rhypier. "Isn't it beautiful?" Caelumis says. "Seeing your beast cause so much destruction?" Hikaru just glares at Caelumis. "There's no way you're going to win this." he says. "Someone will come and break me free and when they do, I'll come after you first." Caelumis laughs. "Oh really?" he says. "And who would that be? The other Rangers who didn't exactly get a good impression of you? Or that bratty daughter you drove away with your obsession with vengeance?" Hikaru looks at Caelumis in shock. "How do you know that?" he asks. "Even when I was sealed away," Caelumis says, chuckling, "I still saw quite a bit, especially of my enemies."

Hikaru looks back toward the fight, seeing PlasTaurus bellow in protest as Chimeroar forces him to continue rampaging through the city. "Must be really rough." Caelumis says tauntingly. "Seeing this. Just think. All that time you spent obsessing over revenge and it amounts to this. Seeing your friend turn on you and being used for destruction."

Unable to take the taunting, Hikaru growls and tries to launch himself at Caelumis, but groans in pain as he is still held back by the chains. Caelumis laughs. "Pathetic!" he says. Still laughing, he walks out, leaving Hikaru to watch PlasTaurus' rampage.

Chris pushes forward on his control pod. Gorignem lauches himself at PlasTaurus, grabbing him by the horns and punching it.

Chimeroar laughs. "That's pathetic!" he says, pushing forward on the control pod. PlasTaurus' horns glow with energy as they charge and he charges forward, knocking Gorignem out of his path.

Chris groans as his cockpit shutters violently.

Rhypier charges into the fight. "Take this!" Bryan says, pushing forward on his control pod.

Rhypier aims his horn forward and attempts to ram PlasTaurus with it. But PlasTaurus charges his horns again and hits Rhypier in the head, sending him flying back.

"Whoa!" Bryan says as his cockpit shutters.

"Nathan we're getting killed out here!" Chris says over Nathan's communicator. "I got an idea." Nathan says. "Adrian and Allison, you guys return to the city to back up Chris and Bryan." "But who will save Hikaru then?" Allison asks. "Let me worry about that." Nathan says.

Nathan turns to Nicole. "Give me one of your Millennium Discs." he says. Nicole looks at Nathan. "Sure." she says, taking one out of her pocket and handing it to him. "But why?" "I'll send it to Adrian through the supercomputer and that way the Rangers can control Elephantis and form the Megazord without you. Four Rangers should be enough to handle the strain of the Megazord. That'll leave you free to save Hikaru. You think you can do that?"

Nicole nods. "I got you." she says, and turns around, walking out of Nathan's office.

As Nicole heads to the front door, Ayumi walks up behind her. Nicole turns around to see her. "Are you seriously going to save him?" Ayumi asks. "I have to." Nicole says. "Why?" Ayumi asks. Nicole looks at Ayumi in disbelief. "You're seriously asking that question?" she asks. "He's your father. Shouldn't you want him to be saved?" Ayumi turns away. "I really don't care." she says. "Are you serious?!" Nicole asks, sounding outraged.

Nathan walks up to the door of his office. "Nicole." he says. "Go." Nicole nods and walks out the front door, leaving Ayumi and Nathan alone.

"Ayumi. . ." Nathan says. "Don't say anything." Ayumi says, cutting Nathan off. "He hurt us both. After mom died, all he ever cared about was revenge. He never talked to me, never tried to help me deal with the pain I was feeling. It was just about him." Nathan sighs. "Yeah I know." he says. "His behavior was definitely not appropriate, but that wasn't him." "What do you mean?" Ayumi asks. "What I mean is," Nathan says, "that he wasn't in his right mind. Anyone's personality would change after losing a loved one. Even you changed quite a bit after your mother died. Sure, that doesn't excuse his behavior, but its something you should take into mind." Nathan turns around and walks away, but stops briefly. "But I'll say this." Nathan says. "If you leave your father to just rot there, I guarantee you'll never see the real him ever again. Just saying." He walks back to his office, leaving Ayumi to look at him in confusion.

In the city, PlasTaurus fires another plasma bolt from his horns, hitting both Gorignem and Rhypier and knocking them back.

Chris and Bryan both groan in pain as their cockpits shutter.

"Hold on guys!" Allison says.

Falcarai and Hydrus both charge forward as they arrive at the battle.

On Adrian's control pod, both an Earth Millennium Disc and the Megazord Millennium Disc appear on his console. Adrian holds them up. "Let's go guys!" he says. "Millennium Megazord!"

Elephantis charges into the battle and the Rangers activate the Millennium Megazord. The final shot of the Millennium Megazord Sequence and the Rangers arriving in the cockpit is shown, though Nicole's spot in the cockpit is empty. The Millennium Megazord poses at its completion.

The Millennium Megazord stands against PlasTaurus. "We have to get it under control!" Allison says.

Inside PlasTaurus, Chimeroar laughs. "Now I can use PlasTaurus to destroy all of your Millennium Beasts!" he says.

PlasTaurus bellows as he charges forward. The Millennium Megazord holds its hands up, ready to take the hit. "Brace yourselves!" Adrian says.

PlasTaurus hits the Millennium Megazord, who grabs him by his horns and tries to hold it.

Inside the cockpit, the Rangers groan. "Plant your feet!" Adrian says. "Try to hold position!" The other Rangers groan as they give all their strength.

The Millennium Megazord plants its feet down, trying to hold PlasTaurus in place. PlasTaurus bellows.

Still watching the battle, Hikaru lowers his head, sighing. "I can't believe this." he says. "All that time I spent obsessing over revenge and this is what becomes of it?" He looks down in shame.

At the Gold Summit, Nicole manages to reach the peak as she races up to the entrance of the Triumvirate's temple. "That's it!" she says, gasping for breath. She runs forward into the temple.

Nicole sneaks into the temple, moving slowly to make sure she is not caught. She sneaks past the main hall and around the corner, where she sees the room where Hikaru is being held, Hikaru still standing there with his head down.

Nicole carefully scouts the room, seeing two Cultists guarding Hikaru, one holding both the keys to the lock to the chains and also Hikaru's Plasma Defender. She walks slowly forward.

Nicole sneaks into the corner where she is directly behind the two Cultists. She raises one hand and concentrates hard on the two.

The two Cultists gasp in shock as roots spring up from the ground, wrapping their feet and holding them in place. "Huh?" Hikaru says, and Nicole comes running from the corner, punching down the two helpless Cultists and knocking them down. She takes the keys and Plasma Defender and then walks over to Hikaru.

Nicole puts her hand on Hikaru's shoulder. "Are you okay?" she asks. Hikaru nods. "Yes." he says. Nicole starts unlocking the chains. "Why did you come here?" Hikaru asks. "After the way I treated you, you'd still help us?" Nicole chuckles a bit as she unlocks the chains, releasing Hikaru, who falls to his knees. Nicole helps him up. "Well," she says, "you may not have given the best first impression. But we can't just leave a fellow Ranger hanging." Hikaru smiles sadly. "But look at all I've done." he says. "I've obsessed so much over revenge and for what? My daughter has been driven away and PlasTaurus is going to destroy the city." "Well," Nicole says, "here's your chance to make up for your mistakes. We need your help to save PlasTaurus. Come on."

She helps Hikaru up to his feet and the two prepare to leave before they are stopped. The three Gods stand in their way, barring their path. Caelumis laughs. "Are you going somewhere Ranger?" he asks. Nicole and Hikaru both strike fighting poses. "Out of our way!" Nicole says. "We don't have time for you!"

The three Gods laugh. "This should be interesting!" Caelumis says, and the three's eyes all glow as they transform into their monster forms.

"Guess we'll have to fight our way out then!" Nicole says. She takes out her Millennium Disc. "Millennium Power!" she calls out, inserting her Millennium Disc into her Morpher and closing the slot. "Earth Charge!" the Morpher calls out. "Total Access!" Nicole calls out as she hits the activation switch.

Nicole's Morphing Sequence is shown in full as she Morphs.

Nicole immediately summons her Earthquake Hammer, while Hikaru holds up his Plasma Defender in Sword Mode. The two charge at the three Gods.

At the city, the Millennium Megazord is knocked off its feet. The Rangers all groan as the cockpit shutters. "Its too strong!" Allison says. "What can we do?" "I don't know!" Adrian says.

PlasTaurus bellows as he fires another plasma bolt from its horns, hitting the Millennium Megazord and knocking it back. Sparks fly from the shuttering cockpit and the Rangers all groan again. "We can't take this much more." Adrian says. "But we can't exactly fight back either." Bryan says. "Just hope Nicole can get Hikaru quick!"

At the temple, Telluseris slashes her daggers at Nicole at lightning-fast speed, Nicole swinging her Earthquake Hammer around in defensive moves to deflect her attacks. She retracts the chain on her weapon, and flips forward to dodge another attack, then she flings her mace at Telluseris, wrapping the chain around her hands to bind them. She then retracts the chain, attempting to punch at Telluseris as she gets closer, but thinking fast, Telluseris frees one of her hands and flings Nicole over her head, slashing her with her free hand.

Hikaru struggles against Caelumis and Aequoris, constantly forced to defend himself with his weapon. Caelumis grabs him by his chest and throws him to the side, sending Hikaru flying against the wall.

Telluseris slashes at Nicole, sending her flying back next to Hikaru.

Nicole gets to her feet, helping Hikaru up. "You okay?" she asks. Hikaru nods.

The three Gods laugh as they corner the two. "Now to finish you!" Caelumis says.

Nicole looks around. "Uhh. . ." she says. "Wait!" Then she holds her hands out, gathering power, then she shoots both her hands forward.

Sudddenly, several massive pointed roots and vines appear from the ground, appearing between the two parties. "Huh?!" Caelumis says. The roots block off the three Gods from the two Rangers. Nicole grabs Hikaru. "Let's go! Quick!" she says and she and Hikaru both run off.

Behind the roots, the three Gods all groan. "Damn it!" Aequoris says. "We almost had them!" Caelumis laughs. "No matter!" he says. "Chimeroar will finish them for us!"

In the city, the Millennium Megazord continues to struggle as it grabs onto PlasTaurus' horns, trying to hold him back.

The four Rangers struggle inside the cockpit. "Hold on guys!" Chris says.

Inside PlasTaurus, Chimeroar laughs. "This is pathetic!" he says, pushing forward on the control pod.

PlasTaurus bellows as his horns glow with energy and he pushes forward, sending the Millennium Megazord flying back.

The Rangers all groan as their cockpit shutters, sparks flying from the roof all over.

Chimeroar laughs. "Now to finish the job!" he says. "Not so fast!" a voice calls out. "Huh?" Chimeroar says. "What?" the Rangers say.

Nicole and Hikaru both run up to the fight. "Nicole!" Allison says.

Hikaru walks up. "PlasTaurus!" he says. "Stop this!"

Chimeroar laughs. "Seriously?" he says. "You can say all you want! As long as I have your Millennium Discs, PlasTaurus is mine now! Now destroy the Rangers!" He pushes forward on his control pod.

PlasTaurus bellows in protests as he begins to move forward.

"PlasTaurus!" Hikaru says.

Suddenly PlasTaurus stops in place, trying to look down at Hikaru.

"Huh?!" Chimeroar says. "What are you doing?! You're mine! Go!"

"PlasTaurus!" Hikaru says. "You know who's partner you are! Fight it! You can do it!"

PlasTaurus keeps looking at Hikaru.

"No!" Chimeroar says. "You're mine! Destroy the Rangers!"

PlasTaurus bellows again in agony as he starts shaking his head, trying to control himself. "What?! Whoa!" Chimeroar says as his cockpit shutters.

PlasTaurus gives a massive bellow as he stops and suddenly, Chimeroar is ejected from the cockpit, flying down to the ground. "Whoa!" Adrian says as the other Rangers look on in shock. PlasTaurus falls on his stomach, bellowing in exhaustion.

Chimeroar hits the ground, Hikaru's Millennium Discs flying out of his hands and landing in front of Hikaru. Hikaru smiles as he picks them up. "I'll take these back, thank you!" he says.

Chimeroar growls as he gets to his feet. "How did you do that?!" he says. "The bond between a Millennium Beast and their partner is not so easily broken." Hikaru says. He smiles as he looks up to PlasTaurus. "And PlasTaurus and me share a strong one!"

PlasTaurus nods as he bellows.

The other Rangers eject from the Millennium Megazord and meet up with the other two. "Nicole!" Adrian says. "Guys!" Nicole says. Hikaru smiles at the other Rangers. "You did a good job keeping PlasTaurus under control." he says. "Thanks." Adrian says.

Hikaru looks toward Chimeroar. "Now let's finish this!" he says.

Hikaru takes out one of his Millennium Discs and inserts it into the slot on his Morpher. "Millennium Power!" he says. "Plasma Charge!" the Morpher calls out. "Total Access!" Hikaru calls out as he hits the activation switch.

Hikaru's Morphing Sequence is shown in full as he Morphs.

Once Hikaru has Morphed, the Rangers go into roll call.

"The Calming Will of the Earth!" Nicole says. "Pink Millennium Ranger! Nicole!"
"The Howling Spirit of Air!" Adrian says. "Green Millennium Ranger! Adrian!"
"The Burning Passion of Fire!" Chris says. "Red Millennium Ranger! Chris!"
"The Empowering Strength of Stone!" Bryan says. "Yellow Millennium Ranger! Bryan!"
"The Soothing Grace of Water!" Allison says. "Blue Millennium Ranger! Allison!"
"The Radiant Energy of Plasma!" Hikaru says. "Orange Millennium Ranger! Hikaru!"

Nicole holds her hand out. "The Power of the Millennium will lead us to victory!" she says. "Power Rangers. . ." All six Rangers strike the final pose as they call out "Millennium Warriors!"

Chimeroar growls. The six Rangers step forward. "Let's go guys!" Nicole says. The six Rangers take out their weapons and charge forward.

Chimeroar gasps.

Bryan and Chris both jump forward and strike Chimeroar with their weapons. Adrian and Allison then do the same. Nicole then runs forward and stops, holding her arms out. "Hikaru!" she says. Hikaru runs forward, brandishing his Plasma Defender in Sword Mode. Hikaru jumps forward, jumping off of Nicole's shoulders and bringing his Plasma Defender down in a slashing motion, striking Chimeroar down.

The monster groans as he falls on his back in pain, the six Rangers coming together.

"Let's finish this!" Nicole says. "Right!" the others respond.

The Rangers combine their weapons together, Nicole holding up the Millennium Striker, while the other Rangers line up behind her, grabbing her by the sides. "Millennium Striker!" Nicole calls out, inserting the Disc into the slot. "Elemental Strike!"

Hikaru joins in, holding up his Plasma Defender. "Plasma Defender!" he calls out, inserting his Millennium Disc into his weapon. "Plasma Slash!"

The two weapons glow with energy as they charge to full power. Both Nicole and Hikaru call out as they slash at Chimeroar, sending two energy slash attacks at the monster, which come together for one powerful attack that quickly cuts through Chimeroar. Chimeroar groans as he turns around and falls forward, vanishing in a fiery explosion, the Rangers looking one.

However, as the smoke from the explosion clears, Chimeroar gets to his feet, struggling to stand up. "I won't be beaten so easily!" he says, holding up a small flask of a blue-colored liquid. "This Divine Elixir will make me stronger!" he says, holding the flask up to his mouth and drinking it. The Rangers look on in confusion. "What is he doing?!" Allison says.

"Ah!" Chimeroar says as he finishes. "Delish!" Then suddenly, his body grows to a giant size, towering over the Rangers, who look up in shock. "Damn!" Bryan says. "These guys can grow too?!"

Chimeroar fires an energy blast at the Rangers, who are forced to flip out of the way.

At the temple, the three Gods behold the battle. "The Divine Elixir?!" Telluseris says. "Fantastic!" Caelumis smiles. "Yes!" he says. "Now let's see how the Rangers deal with this!"

PlasTaurus is still lying down, now bellowing in pain. "PlasTaurus was too badly hurt from Chimeroar's control." Hikaru says as he looks at his partner. "Its up to you guys!" Nicole nods. "We'll handle this one." she says. "Let's go guys!" "Right!" the others respond, and the five Rangers rush toward the Millennium Megazord. As they do, Hikaru looks after them. He de-morphs, having a look of admiration on his face.

The Rangers all merge back with their Millennium Beasts to take control of the Millennium Megazord. "Let's go guys!" Nicole says, and the Rangers push forward on their control pods.

The Millennium Megazord stands against Chimeroar, the two charging forward and engaging in close combat. The two exchange multiple blows with each other before Chimeroar backs away. He fires an energy blast at the Millennium Megazord.

"Whoa!" Adrian says in the cockpit.

The Millennium Megazord flips out of the way, dodging the attack.

"Fire Power!" Chris says.

The Millennium Megazord holds its arms out and releases a fire blast at Chimeroar from its chest, knocking the monster back.

"Let's finish this now!" Nicole says. "Millennium Megazord Saber!"

The Millennium Saber appears as the Millennium Megazord takes it.

"Millennium Power!" the Rangers all call out. "Elemental Burst!"

The Millennium Saber glows with energy as it charges to full power, the symbols for the Rangers' elements appearing behind it. Then the Millennium Megazord slashes at Chimeroar.

Taking the hit, Chimeroar retreats back and turns around, falling forward as he vanishes in a fiery explosion.

Hikaru smiles and nods at the Rangers' victory.

At the temple, the three Gods watch as the Millennium Megazord poses at its victory. Caelumis frowns. "Well that was unexpected." he says. Aequoris growls. "Those Rangers are going to be tougher to fight than I thought." he says. Caelumis nods. "Now we know they are not to be underestimated!" he says. "Now we absolutely must find the Will of the Gods. It's the only way we can defeat them and those Millennium Beasts." The two Gods nod. Caelumis smiles. "And once we defeat them, the world will bow before us as the Gods we are!" he starts laughing.

At Howlett Manor, Hikaru is meeting with the Rangers, Nathan and Ayumi in Nathan's backyard. The eight walk out to see PlasTaurus, who is resting in the forest just beyond Nathan's backyard, a massive bandage wrapped around one of his front legs.

"It'll take a while for PlasTaurus to recover from his injuries." Hikaru says. "But I'm glad he's safe." He turns around to look at the other Rangers. "It was wrong of me to doubt you guys." he says. "You're all excellent Rangers." The Rangers all smile. "It just shames me to think all my lust for revenge caused all this." "Well," Nicole says, "at least you were able to make up for it."

Hikaru smiles. Then he looks over to Ayumi and walks over to her. He puts his hands on his daugther's shoulders. "Ayumi." he says. "I'm sorry for how I treated you. I know you were just as traumatized by your mother's death as me and I should have been there for you." Ayumi just looks away.

"Will you forgive me?" Hikaru asks. Ayumi continues to look away, but then looks at Hikaru. "Well just this once." she says jokingly. The two embrace and the Rangers and Nathan smile as they look on. "I love you." Hikaru says. "I love you too daddy." Ayumi says.

Adrian steps forward. "Well," he says, "I guess you'll be fighting with us from now on huh?" "Yeah!" Bryan says. "Six Rangers together now!"

Hikaru looks toward the Rangers, laughing sadly. "Not quite!" he says. "Huh?" Allison says.

"I have my own mission." Hikaru says. "The one Nathan and Ayumi sent me out to do originally." Nathan nods, walking over to Hikaru and Ayumi. "We sent Hikaru out to find the other Millennium Beasts." he says. "With more enemies of the Millennium appearing, we're going to need all the help we can get." Hikaru nods. "Besides," he says, smiling a bit, "I'm not exactly the young warrior I once was."

Chris and Bryan both look disappointed, but Nicole smiles. "Well I guess that makes sense." she says. "You can count on us to protect the world then!" Adrian and Allison nod. Hikaru smiles. "Yes indeed." he says. "But if you ever need my assistance, I'll be there to help you. You can count on it!" The Rangers smile as they nod.

"I'd better be off then!" Hikaru says. "Goodbye everyone!" He walks off toward Nathan's mansion, and both Ayumi and the Rangers follow him as they walk him out. Nathan, however, stays behind, looking down and thinking to himself. "First the Daemonium and now the Deus Triumvirate." Nathan says. "Why are all these old enemies of the Millennium appearing? Someone has to be behind this. But who?" He walks away to join the others.

Late at night, in the dark forest, Tobias walks up, wearing his cloak but with his hood lowered. As he nears the dark temple where Innaetoris is, he stops. "The Deus Triumvirate has now appeared." he says to himself. "But what does this have to do with me?" He thinks to himself for a brief moment, then walks toward the dark temple as we fade to black.
