Howdy everyone! The 3rd Dragneel, returning with another cool chapter of Power Rangers Dimension Heroes. I am so happy to announce after this chapter, we will FINALLY see who the wielder of the Green Dimension Crystal is, or at least I will leave a subtle, not so subtle hint for the title of the next chapter. It has been funny writing chapters for this story and I am happy to say after this, there WILL be a spin-off with three new Rangers. Who they are won't be announced until I finish this story, which is a LONG ASS way away.
Omni warrior: Thanks, it's confirmed to be ending, well considering they're both villains, and yes, Ironwood having alien tech is extremely bad.
Wolfman: Yup, hopefully you'll like the next Zord, and thanks for that like of Natsu x Yang. Exactly, a team up and a general having alien tech? Not a good combination.
TrexDan93: I don't know, mmmmaaayyybbbbbeeeeee~;) Hopefully you will like this chapter and the next one.
Kival737101: Who knows? We might see the fallout of what happens when you deal with Crekor technology.
25NaMi: Thank you!
DB-19: Look man, all I'm saying is keep your theories to yourself. I'm not angry, that's all I'm saying.
X: I know, but honestly, it will get annoying, but that's just me.
BanRedfox: Thanks, and I really like the idea of that monster.
To recap: As the Rangers trained to face their enemies, Yang continued to have a major grudge against Longshot due to how he was responsible for capturing her tean. As she went to get some advice for Ozpin, a new, powerful monster called Rampage attacked the harbor, stealing several crates of Dust. In order to defeat this new threat, Kaldon invented an upgrade for Yang, while said person got some training advice from Natsu. Near the end of the day, with the help of her new Bull Zord, Yang and the others were able to defeat Rampage, not knowing the capture of Adam Taurus. Now what will our heroes face today? Time to find out!
(Power Rangers Dino Charge Opening…...start!)
The scene starts with Vektor launching all ten Dimension Crystals into outerspace. It then cuts to Natsu, Ichigo, Yang, Rias and Yusei finding their Crystals.
(Power Ranger, Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers)
It then cuts to the five being sent into the Legacy and meeting Kaldon and Vektor, who show an image of Oblivion walking past a field of flames.
(In a dimension full of strife)
Natsu as the Red Dimension Ranger.
(We must fight to survive)
Rias as the Pink Dimension Ranger.
(Try to break the gates)
Yusei as the Blue Dimension Ranger.
(That dividdddddeeeeee!)
Yang as the Yellow Dimension Ranger.
(There is only one chance)
Ichigo as the Black Dimension Ranger.
(To take the right stance. Hold tight, keep out powers alllliiiivvvveeee!)
The scene then shows Ichigo fending off against Demolition, Yusei dodging laser fire, then Vektor standing up before using his staff to fight Oblivion before the five morph into their Ranger forms.
(Go go, Power Rangers. Don't you….ever stop!)
Yusei launches a blue bird of flames from his shield while Rias fires several arrows, Ichigo jumps off the wall to slash a new monster and Yang punching at a rapid pace.
(Go go, Power Rangers. You will rise up to the top!)
The Apocalypse is seen hovering over Earth as Oblivion takes a sight in his throne while his generals stand behind him. Natsu summons a large double barrel cannon before he and the others fired it.
(Rangers together, DIMENSIONS, all together!)
The five toast with smiles on their faces as their Zords, along with several other shadows behind them appeared while roaring. The next scenes include Rias flying with her devil wings, Yusei jumping high in the air in his new blue Runner, the Dimension Titan Megazord roars as it brings down its sword, Yang slamming her fists together as her Semblance kicks in, Ichigo charging black energy into his sword and Natsu engulfing his body in flames as he charging in for a punch.
(Power Rangers, Power Rangers, Power Rangers Dimension Heroes!)
The five then pose with their weapons as they are shown in Fiore, Karakura, Beacon, the Underworld and New Domino City. The opening then ends with Natsu in the middle while Rias and Yusei were on his left and Yang and Ichigo were on his right. Finally the title of the story appears with a dragon roaring in the background.
'The Legacy'
Vektor was currently meditating in his personal quarters, his legs crossed as his staff laid on his lap. He would usually do this whenever he had some free time as it helped him better his magic, plus he liked the peace and quiet. However, today was rather different as he could feel…...something radiating from his staff. "Hmmmmm…" A small hum escaped Vektor's mouth as he began to have a vision of ships in space, a large red wasteland, and a person grabbing the Dimension Crystal. However, it was rather blurry, so the only thing he could see was the person's messy hair. He opened his eyes while sighing. "What could this mean?" Shaking the thought out of his mind, Vektor stood up and made his way out of his room. It wasn't the first time he had those kind of visions, as evident when he found out how the others were able to find their Dimension Crystals. However, this felt more like a glimpse of the future rather than a clear location. Hopefully we can find the Crystal before Oblivion.
In another part of the Legacy, Kaldon and Yusei were currently working on the Dimension Weapons as recently, they've been battered and dented to the point they could be ineffective against the Crekors. Kaldon hummed a soft tune as he reattached the Tiger Bow, which he had separated in order to strengthen the wire so Rias could shoot even stronger arrows without draining too much magic. "Yusei, how's it going Ni-Ni?" Kaldon asked his bestie, who was tightening the bolts of his Duel Runner's wheels.
"I reinforced the front to handle anything they throw at us, and the wheels should be able to drive through any terrain, but I might need a hand with upgrading the blasters." Yusei said while wiping some sweat from his brow, not noticing a certain orange haired swordsman walking in.
"Anything I can do to help?" Ichigo asked with his hands in his pockets.
"Not unless you can handle the power core of the Runner so it won't blow a hole in the ship." Ichigo was about to speak up…..mostly because he had no idea what he was talking about. "Thanks Ichigo, but me and Kaldon can handle it."
"Alright…...I guess." With that, Ichigo took his leave. It wasn't that he was dumb( as evident with his As in his classes while being a Soul Reaper), but even he didn't know how to handle alien tech. The only reason he knew what to do while being a Ranger is because he was following his instincts, and he doubted they would help him fix Yusei's ride. Sighing, Ichigo walked through the halls of the Legacy, trying to find something to do.
"Okay, put the boxes right there. No, on the left!"
"Neo?" Raising a brow, Ichigo entered the cargo hold, where he saw Natsu and Yang lifting and pushing large crates while Neo, using the monitor in the room, was navigating them.
"Here?" Natsu asked with a large silver crate over his head.
"Nope. That's for medical supplies, over there." Neo said as the monitor showed a finger going to the left.
"How about this?" Yang said, holding up her own crate on her shoulder
"That goes in the weapons pile, over there." Neo 'pointed' towards the middle, making her nod as he put down the crate with a loud thud. Wiping off some sweat, Yang looked at the doorway and saw Ichigo standing there.
"Oh, hey Stra-"
"Don't. Even finish that word." Pinching the bridge of his nose, Ichigo spoke up. "You guys need any help?"
"No offense Ichigo, but I don't think you could lift these boxes." Neo showed a video of a man trying to lift a box, only to fall on his back, with all the contents spilling on top of him. "But since Natsu is a Dragon Slayer and Yang has her Semblance, they can handle it. Sorry."
"Can't be that hard." Ichigo grabbed a nearby box and attempted to lift it….only to realize Neo might have been right. "Dammit…..come on….." Taking a few quick breathes, Ichigo lifted the box, trying to keep his balance. "I….can…...aw crap." Losing his footing, Ichigo fell on his back, the large box landed on his chest.
"Hang on, I got ya." Grabbing the box, Natsu nonchalantly lifted it off Ichigo, who took in a few breathes as he was close to passing out. "We can handle it Ichigo."
"Fine." Standing up, Ichigo put his hand in his pockets before walking out rather sourly.
"See, I told you he was SOUR." Natsu and Neo didn't bother to laugh.
Dammit, what the hell? Why can't I do anything? Even with all his skills and experience, Ichigo couldn't help anyone on the ship. Hell, he didn't even know much about tools as his dad was…...let's just say his poster had more than one reason for being there. With a small sigh, Ichigo walked into the bridge of the Legacy, where Rias was currently looking over several books, wearing a pair of glasses to help her stay focused.
"Hello Ichigo." Rias said, not even looking at her comrade.
"Hey, read something interesting?"
"In a way. Vektor told us we could use his personal library to learn more about other worlds, so I thought with the peace and quiet, I might as well learn a bit."
"Need any help?"
"I haven't read from that pile, so I guess you can read from that." Rias pointed at a small pile of books on the left. Nodding, Ichigo grabbed the top book and began reading the contents….only to get instantly confused with the contents.
What the hell is this? Never had Ichigo read something so…..off putting, in his life. He tried to understand what a 'Orzin' was, but some of the words didn't even make any sense. A giggle could be heard from the side, courtesy of Rias.
"I'm sorry. Kaldon and Vektor taught me what the species in those books are, sorry."
"Would you mind telling me?"
"Sorry, but it's…...hard to explain." Letting out a heavy sigh, Ichigo put the book down and walked out of the bridge. "Hmmm, something's wrong with him."
Little did either of them know, a certain mentor was watching Ichigo with a small frown.
'The Apocalypse'
We now shift our attention to the Apocalypse, where Oblivion, Vila, Demolition and Static were observing the footage of the last few Ranger battles on the main terminal. Each one observed how they Rangers were able to defeat their monsters and how they could use what they see to their advantage. "My lord, have you noticed what the Rangers do when they see to be on the brink of defeat?" Static asked as he rewinded the clip of Natsu using his Lightning Flame Dragon Mode to defeat Overheat, piercing through the large monster's chest.
"Yes, each of them have a unique ability to add to their ranger powers." Oblivion said, watching as Rias lifted Chessmate in the air with her devil wings.
"These Rangers are getting more and more annoying by the cycle." Vila said with a loud huff, seeing how Yusei, with the Kaldon Battle Gear, annihilated Ambush in a barrage of energy blasts.
"All…..except the Black Ranger." Demolition said, focusing on his fellow swordsman, who only used his Ranger abilities to fight.
"What is your point Static?"
"Well my lord, what if we were to, say….drain their secondary abilities?" Oblivion raised a brow as the doors to the bridge opened, revealing Longshot with a large, black eel-like creature with a large mouth and tail, long eel-like arms covered in what looked like slime. "I would like to introduce you to Parasap, a creature with the DNA of a leech, eel and slug."
"Need to so sssssssssssssssssuck up some energy for you?" Hearing this, Oblivion facepalmed in irritation while Vila gave Parasap a look of disgust Even the normally calm Demolition was somewhat annoyed by this 'Parasap.'
"I know I'm going to regret this but…..what?"
"Parasap has the ability to drain the energy out of anyone she or her children come into contact with, regardless of if they're flesh or mechanical." Giving the new monster a signal, Parasap flung her arms, throwing three baby leeches at a nearby Crekor Bot, one on its chest, one on its neck, and the final on its head. The poor robot attempted to pull them off, but soon it began to lose energy before falling face first on the ground.
"And what happens if the victim attempts to remove the leech?:"
"If they do, then they lose most of their energy and can NEVER get it back. Plus if my babies drain all their energy, it automatically gets transferred to me! HAHAHA, it's gonna be so fun!" Again, Oblivion rubbed his chin in thought. While the Rangers were a threat with the Dimension Crystals, the fact they also had other abilities made his conquest much harder. But if Parasap were to take that way….a chuckle escaped his mouth as he patted the new soldier.
"Very well, you will go to one of the Ranger's home worlds and draw them out so you can drain their powers. And…..don't hold anything back. I want ALL their power to be gone."
"You got it!" Oblivion's moment was cut when he pulled his hand back….only to see it was covered in slime.
"Well, looks like we need a clean up cr-AAHHH!" Just as Longshot was about to get the clean up crew, he slipped on a trail of slime Parasap left while walking, falling on his back.
"My bad."
'Karakura Town, later that day'
Shifting our attention away from the villains, we now see Ichigo Kurosaki at a small tea stand, taking a sip from his cup. He needed some time to himself, away from the Legacy and his new team. It wasn't because he DIDN'T like being with them, especially since he could get some payback on Demolition and the Crekors. But it's just…...he couldn't help outside of a fight. He couldn't lift any heavy boxes, he couldn't help work on the weapons, hell he even couldn't help read some alien books. "So much for helping." Ichigo muttered to himself with a deep sigh, sipping more of his tea.
"It seems like you have much in your mind." Ichigo looked up, only to see a male who looked to be 5'8 with tan skin and red eyes, wearing a white business suit standing across from him with a small smile.
"Can I help you?"
"No, but maybe I can help you….Ranger." Ichigo's eyes widened as the man sat across from him. "Don't worry Ichigo, it's me, Vektor."
"Seriously?" The man gave him a wink, making him sweatdrop. "How the hell did you…..do this?"
"My staff has the ability to change my form should it be required for stealth." Vektor then turned serious as he looked straight into Ichigo's eyes. "So tell me Ichigo: have there been any…..complications on the Legacy? I've noticed how you looked on the ship." The Black Ranger just stayed silent, tapping his spoon on his cup before letting out a sigh.
"It's just…...I can't do crap outside of fighting." Vektor simply raised a brow as he listened closely. "Everyone else has skills that can help you and Kaldon while I can't do squat."
"So you feel like you can't help us?" Ichigo gave a reluctant nod. "Ichigo, each of you have something special, but it doesn't mean you need other powers. I can tell you have much potential, even after your 'other job.' That is why the Black Dimension Crystal." Vektor took a sip from his cup before smiling at Ichigo. "All you can do is do the best you can my friend, that's all we ask for."
*BOOM*
The moment was cut when a large explosion occurred nearby. The citizens of Karakura ran away in fear as a certain group of robots began marching through the streets. "That's right, run humans!" Vila said with a laugh as she shot a nearby car. Let's see if the Rangers can ignore the cries of weak humans.
"Fire Dragon Claws!" A wave of fire came from the top, destroying several Crekors. Natsu, Yusei, Rias and Yang jumped onto the scene, their weapons in hand. "Mela, stop right there!"
"It's VILA, you idiot."
"GEIA, you don't have to be MEANA." Yang joked, irritating the wife of Oblivion even more.
"You're going to pay for hurting these people." Rias said, aiming her bow at Vila.
"Oh, I bet. Crekors?" The bots aim their weapons at the Rangers, though it did nothing to frighten them.
"Guys, make sure none of them get to the people." Yusei reminded.
"I'm all fired up!" Natsu shouted before he and the others rushed in. The Red Ranger was the first to attack as he jumped in between three Crekors, spinning with his Dragon Claws in hand, destroying the bots with little ease. Yang used her Ape Gauntlets to block two Crekors from cutting her before she slammed their heads together, crushing them like cans. Yusei used his Phoenix Shield to block several shots from the Crekors before he pulls out his blaster, shooting each bot down. Rias and Vila jump towards each other, though the former was able to get the edge as she slammed her foot on the latter's stomach, pushing her back a few feet. Getting over her pain, Vila fired green energy blasts at Rias, who flew in the air with her devil wings.
"Fire!" Pulling on her bow, Rias fired three red arrows that struck Vila on the chest, causing her to scream in pain.
"Damn you!" Using her psychic powers, Vila broke apart a nearby station wagon before throwing its parts at Rias, who barely had time to dodge it.
"Guys, Double Knockout!"
"Oh, I love that one! Ready Yusei?" The Head Signer nodded before he and Yang began to run towards Vila, who kept throwing part after part of the Station Wagon. Luckily, Natsu jumped in the middle, cutting throw each part with ease. Growling in anger, Vila decided to blast Natsu with a powerful Psychic Wave, sending him flying in the air. "GOTTA YA!" However, she failed to realize Yang and Yusei running behind Natsu until he was sent flying. Yang pulled back her left fist while Yusei pulled back his right, which held his shield. Both weapons began to glow their respective colors before they landed a powerful hit on Vila's stomach. The force from the dual punches was enough to send her crashing into a nearby fruit stand. Tomatoes and watermelon were covered on her body.
"Ugh, disgusting! Do you know how long it'll take to clean all this off?!"
"It's over Vila." Rias raised her bow, giving the monster a death glare. "Stand down and we might spare you."
"You, spare me?" Vila lowered her head, slowly chuckling to herself. "You fools have no idea what you just stepped into."
"Huh, what do you-"
*Squish*
Before Yang could finish, something slippery stuck onto her neck, along with a large amount of pain. "Ahhhh….."
"Yang?!" The Yellow Ranger suddenly demorphed as she fell face first on the ground, a black leech could be seen sucking on her neck. "What the hell?!"
"Do it Parasap!"
"Yes Madam!" The three Rangers turn to see a new leech like monster stand behind them. Her long arms reaching into her mouth before she threw three more leeches. One struck Yusei's left arm while another struck over Rias' heart. Natsu was fast enough to cut the leech coming towards him, but Vila anticipated this. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out her own leech before throwing it on Natsu's right shoulder.
"AAHHH!" The Red, Blue and Pink Rangers suddenly felt excruciating pain from the leeches on their bodies.
"What's…..going…..on…." Yusei was the first to demorph, falling on one knee. The leech on his body began to glow blue.
"My…..my magic…..I feel it draining." Rias and Natsu also demorphed, the latter tried to burn away the leech, but he was already too drained to do anything.
"Now that that's taken care of, we'll be taking your Crystals. It looks like you might not need them anymore." Just as Vila was about to take Natsu's Crystal…...a series of red energy bullets were shot from the distance, causing her to fall on her back.
"Stand aside Vila." Vektor said in a serious tone, transforming back into his normal state, his staff in hand.
"Vektor."
"Guys!" Ichigo quickly ran towards his friends, who began panting heavily as the leeches kept draining their energy.
"Ichigo, protect them. I will deal with her."
"Hey, I don't know who you are, but I won't let you hurt the queen." Parasap threw one of her arms forward, wrapping it around Vektor's staff. However, he expected this and with impressive strength, he pulled Parasap close, jabbing his staff on her stomach. "Ow, that hurt you jerk!" Vektor didn't respond as he spun his staff with his wrist, striking Parasap on the chin as she fell on her back. Annoyed by his interception, Vila focused her psychic powers on Vektor, throwing him to the side.
"Unleash the Dimensions!" A black light appeared out of nowhere as a sword was swung towards Vila, who jumped back just in time. Ichigo, in his Black Ranger outfit, stood in front of her, his sword in hand. "Tell me what you did to them or else."
"Oh look, if it isn't the BLAND Ranger. Parasap?"
"You got it!" Parasap quickly threw five leeches towards Ichigo. However, thanks to his sword training with Kisuke and Yoruichi, he was able to cut apart each and every leech. Angered at what he did to her babies, Parasap swung her long arms, making Ichigo step back to dodge.
"Getsuga Tensho!" Focusing black energy into his sword, Ichigo swiped the ground in front of him, causing Parasap stumble back. He didn't let up as he slashed at Parasap five more times.
"Leech Storm!" Opening her mouth, Parasap shot a large amount of leeches at Ichigo, covering him in the annoying insects. He expected to feel some pain from them as it affected his team…..but it never came.
"The hell?" Looking down, he saw the leeches turn white before jumping off his body, whimpering towards their mother.
"Ugh, you have no flavor. How am I supposed to feed my babies with something so bland?" Even though he was glad the leeches weren't affecting him, it still annoyed him how she called him bland. Vila continued to fire green energy blasts at Vektor, who spun his staff to deflect them. Focusing white energy into his staff, Vektor returned fire, striking a part of Vila's hair.
"Dammit, STOP RUINING MY HAIR! Parasap, we're leaving."
"But-"
"Now!" Gulping loudly, The leech monster nodded as Vila threw an energy blast on the ground, causing a smokescreen that covered their escape. Ichigo quickly kneeled before Rias and raised his sword.
"No Ichigo!" Vektor quickly grabbed Ichigo's wrist with a serious expression. "We do not know what will happen if we destroy these creatures. It may harm our friends. Let's take them back to the Legacy." Ichigo gave a reluctant nod as he and Vektor quickly picked up the four Rangers, returning to the Legacy.
'The Apocalypse, sometime later'
After their little battle with Vektor and the Black Ranger, Vila and Parasap returned to the Apocalypse for some much needed hair repair. "How much longer will it take to fix my hair?" Vila said with an impatient tone as two of her personal Crekors were currently fixing her ruined hair, courtesy of her husband's rival. The Crekor simply beeped, though no one else could barely understand it.
"So you failed to get the Dimension Crystals from the other Rangers, yet you were still able to infect them with your…..children?" Oblivion asked Parasap, who was petting some of her babies gently, freaking some of the Crekors out, DESPITE being robots.
"Of course I did Master. They weren't expecting that at all. I wish I could have recorded their reactions." Parasap said with a giggle.
"And judging by the levels of energy being gathered, they should be able to lose their powers in less than three hours." Static said, examining the monitor that determined the amount of energy Parasap's babies were absorbing.
"Which means those Rangers will be way easier to fight with their special powers being taken away." Longshot added with his arms crossed.
"The only one who may pose a threat is the Black Ranger." This got a scoff from Parasap.
"PLEASE, he is so bland, my babies won't even bother draining his energy."
"I wouldn't underestimate him." Demolition said while leaning against the wall. "He may only be human, but he is still a force to be reckoned with."
"I see. Well my son, perhaps you can take the Black Rangers Crystal."
"Very well my father, but…." The son of Oblivion looked at Parasap. "I will need her assistance to lure him out."
"Eh?"
'The Legacy, sometime later'
We now shift our attention back to the Legacy, where the four infected Rangers were currently placed in the medic bay, each slowly turning white as moans of pain escaped their lips. Kaldon was currently using his scanners to find a way to help his friends while Vektor and Ichigo were waiting outside. "Hey Kaldon, how are they?" Ichigo said while tapping his arm.
"Physically, they're okay Ni-Ni. But…..my scanners detect their energy being drained every second Ni-Ni." Kaldon said with sadness in his voice. "These creatures are literally sucking the life out of them Ni-Ni."
"And why was Ichigo not affected by these leeches?" Vektor asked.
"They said I was Bland, and when I was hit, they just jumped off."
"It's probably cause you have no power Ni-Ni. Oh, I didn't mean to sound mean Ni-Ni. But because you're a normal human who uses the Power of the Dimension Crystal rather than your own powers, these leeches won't even look at you again Ni-Ni." The former Substitute Soul Reaper bit the inside of his cheek, clearly a bit irritated with the new info. Seeing this, Vektor placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Do not take this personally Ichigo. Even without other powers, you are still a powerful Ranger." Nodding, Ichigo looked at the leeches.
"Is there a way to get these things off them?"
"Hmmmm, based on what we have seen, it seems as though this new creature is capable of communicating with these leeches through telepathy."
"Telepathy Ni-Ni?" Kaldon knocked on his head, as if trying to get an solution out of it. Well…..at least it worked as his eyes sparkled. "That's it Ni-Ni! Telepathy requires the mind to be calm and clear, but if it were hit with an electric pulse, then the brain would short circuit like water on a plug Ni-Ni!" The blue robot quickly kneeled in front of a cabinet and began throwing out different objects, stemming from a bone saw to a glass of olives to, for some reason, a Xenomorph skull, all while Ichigo and Vektor stepped aside. "No, no, not that…..FOUND IT NI-NI!" Inside the cabin, Kaldon pulled out a short metal baton with a rubber handle.
"Okay…..what is it?"
"I call it a Stun Baton Ni-Ni. It was something I've been working on this for a while and thought it would help you guys fight the Crekors Ni-Ni." He then pressed a red button near the middle of the baton, causing the top to emit short bursts of blue lightning. "This baby can fry the circuit off those bots with one hit Ni-Ni. Since you mentioned this new monster uses Telepathy, I thought it'd be a good idea to give this a test run Ni-Ni." Interested in the new weapon, Ichigo took the baton and examined it. "But make sure you hold onto the rubber part or you'll be the one frying Ni-Ni."
"Glad to know."
"Ichigo, I advise we wait for Oblivion to strike. If you go alone now, you can be ambushed."
*BEEP, BEEP*
The screen in the medbay suddenly turned on as Neo popped on the screen with a worried emoji on it. "Vektor, there's an open message being played. Check this out!" Neo said before the screen showed a video of Demolition in the Apocalypse, standing tall and proud with Parasap next to him.
"Black Ranger, if you are hearing this open message, then I have a proposal for you." Demolition said calmly. "Parasap's children are slowly draining the power out of your friends. In less than two hours, they will be shells of their former selves. However, I have something that may interest you. A duel, you and me in your homeworld. One hour from now. Come alone, or I'll have Parasap drain your friends' power even more until they become dust. If you have any feelings towards your friends, then you will come." With that, the message was cut. There were mixed reactions in the medbay: Neo and Kaldon had worried looks, Vektor stayed calm, though he was slightly squeezing his staff. But the one that was more affected by this was Ichigo, who had a deep scowl on his face.
"Vektor, what if this is a trap Ni-Ni? Then we might lose our last chance."
"I'm going." Ichigo quickly pocketed the baton and made his way out of the room. Kaldon was about to reach out to him when Vektor placed a hand on his shoulder, giving a reassuring smile.
"Do not worry my old friend. I know Ichigo will succeed. He has much more potential than you and I know."
"I hope Ni-Ni."
'Karakura Town, a little while later'
Standing in the middle of the mountain where Ichigo had his final fight with the power hungry villain Sosuke Aizen were Demolition and Parasap: the former stood in the place with his arms crossed while the latter was tapping her foot impatiently. "Seriously, why are the two of us here without any backup? It'd be a lot easier to have Longshot or even the Master here so we can box him in." Parasap said with a sour tone, though Demolition stayed calm.
"If I am to claim the Black Dimension Crystal for my father, I will do it on my terms, and I wish to battle him one on one." Demolition said, getting a scoff from the leech-like monster.
"Who cares about honor when we can have power?"
"What is power without wise usage?" Both the monster and son of Oblivion stared at each other, waiting for the other to back down. After several excruciating minutes of silence, Parasap sighed.
"Fine, do it your way. But if he tries anything on me, I'll kill him."
"Very well."
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Both creatures turned their heads to see Ichigo walking through the forest, a determined expression on his face.
"About time you got here Ranger. Taking care of your little friends? I hope my babies are treating them well." From her tone, she was being sarcastic, getting a glare from Ichigo.
"I'm glad you arrived alone Black Ranger."
"And let me guess, you brought Crekors here to make sure I don't get out?" To Ichigo's surprise, Demolition shook his head.
"I'd rather claim your Crystal through one on one combat rather than conquest. Now…" He slowly drew his sword, pointing it at the orange haired male. "Morph so we may battle."
I need to make sure I hit that Leech with the baton or else the others won't make it. Reaching into his pocket, Ichigo pulled out his Dimension Crystal. "Link 1." Opening his morpher, he placed the crystal inside before pressing the number 1, aiming it in the air. "Unleash the Dimensions!" He began to glow before changing into his Black Ranger outfit. Opening his hand, Ichigo summoned his lion sword. "Let's do this." The wind calmly blew over the three, none of them making any sort of move. And then….it began. Both swordsmen moved it faster than the eye can see, clashing blades with one another. Pushing back, Demolition swung his sword sideways as Ichigo blocked it swiftly. Ichigo then slashed his sword horizontally, forcing Demolition to block it with his arm. Using his left hand, Demolition fired five dark energy bolts at Ichigo, who ran up the side of a large rock to dodge it. Reaching into his belt, Ichigo pulled out his Dimension Blaster before aiming it at Demolition.
"Fire!" He fired several black energy shots, though Demolition used his sword to deflect each shot. Demolition the began merging black energy into his sword while Ichigo did the same. "Getsuga….."
"Dark Blade…."
"Tensho!"
"Catastrophe!" Both warriors sent a wave of black energy, forcing both attacks to collide.
*BOOM*
Due to the amount of energy in each attack, a massive explosion erupted in the center, pushing both swordsmen back a few feet. "Geez, think you can finish this little fight? I got Rangers to drain her!"
"Ichigo, you must do it now." Vektor said through the comms. "Everyone's vitals are dropping and if you prolong the fight, we may lose them." Ichigo bit the inside of his cheek before glancing at Parasap.
Guess I got no choice.
"Focus on our battle Black Ranger." To get his attention, Demolition fired more dark energy, only hitting the area around him.
"I am, but I'm not a tight schedule." He looked back at Demolition while placing his left hand behind his back. "So let's keeping going."
"Very well." Taking his stance again, Demolition and Ichigo once again charged at each other. However, Ichigo pulled out the Stun Baton and just as Demolition was about to cut him…..he slid under his blade, right past him. "What?!" The Black Ranger then began to run towards Parasap, Baton in hand.
"I knew we couldn't trust him!" Parasap threw her long arms forward, making Ichigo move zig zag in order to dodge. Getting within arms length, Ichigo wrapped his right arm around Parasap.
"This is for my friends!" With that, he slammed the Baton on her head and pressed the button, allowing electricity to escape the top.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!" The pain from the Baton was so excruciating, Parasap couldn't even think straight. She swore she could hear her babies scream in pain from the inside of her stomach.
'The Legacy, at the same time'
*HISS*
In the medbat, the sounds of several creatures hissing in pain could be heard, Vektor and Kaldon watched as the leeches on Natsu, Yusei, Rias and Yang began to shiver. Before long, they jumped off their bodies, twitching a few times before they began crumpling to pieces. As soon as this happened, the other Rangers shot up, gasping for air. "They're okay, they're okay!" Kaldon said while jumping in joy.
"Kaldy?! What the hell happened?!" Yang shouted while trying to stop her heart from busting out of her chest.
"And how did we get here?" Rias said, slightly more calm, but nevertheless stressed from their encounter with that new monster.
"There will be time to explain later. Right now, Ichigo needs your help." Vektor said as the screen showed video of Ichigo being tossed by Parasap.
"Come on guys, we have to help him." Yusei said as they all stood up, getting over their facade and took out their Crystals.
"Unleash the Dimensions!"
'With Ichigo'
"Leechball Throw!"
"Dark Blade: Catastrophe!" Parasap launched a ball of leeches while Demolition sent a wave of dark energy towards Ichigo, sending him flying in the air. Ichigo groaned in pain as he pushed himself on his elbows as Demolition walked up to him. "Your tactic was noble, but in the end…..I win." He slowly raised his sword high, ready to strike him down.
"Fire!" Until several laser blasts were shot out of nowhere, striking Demolition as he stumbled back. Four figures jumped onto the scene, landing in front of Ichigo.
"Hey, you okay?" Natsu asked Ichigo, who was helped up by Yusei and Rias.
"Yeah, just a bit tired. You?"
"We handled worse, but that thing almost SUCKED us dry." Yang joked, even in a dire situation like this.
"Glad you didn't lose your jokes." Despite how annoying she could be, Ichigo was glad Yang was okay.
"Don't worry, we're here to fight with you." Yusei said, raising his shield.
"That REALLY hurt you jerk!" Parasap shouted with a hateful glare aimed at Ichigo.
"Guys…...I'll handle Demolition." The other Rangers looked at Ichigo with some confusion.
"You want to fight him alone?" Rias asked as the Black Ranger stood strong.
"This whole thing started with me and him, and it's gonna end with us. You guys handle that leech, is that alright?" The four looked at each other, then Ichigo before nodding.
"Okay, but if you get your ass kicked, we'll be there to help." Ichigo rolled his eyes at Natsu's comment, but he understood what he meant regardless. "Let's go guys!" With that, the Red, Pink, Blue and Yellow Rangers ran past Demolition, who simply ignored them while staring at Ichigo.
"You could've stopped them."
"Like you said, we must finish our fight. If it means anything, I respect you as a warrior, but do not think I won't strike you down." Nodding, both Ichigo and Demolition raised their blades to start round three.

"I'm sick of seeing you Rangers. Time to die!" Parasap launched more of her babies towards the four.
"Destroy!" Opening her palm, Rias summoned her magic circle before unleashing a stream of dark, crimson magic forward, disintegrating all of Parasap's babies.
"Watch your blind spot!" Yang jumped off Rias' shoulder, her fists raised high. "Slam dunk!" She then slammed both fists on top of Parasap's head, making her scream in pain as she held her head. "Yusei, I think she needs a hand!"
"Phoenix Blitz!" Yusei's shield was engulfed in blue flames as he slammed it on Parasap's back.
"Flame Lotus: Fire Dragon Fist!" Taking the opportunity, Natsu ran in front of Parasap, his fists ignited. "Here's some payback!" With that, he began punch Parasap as fast as gunshots. Each punch was like a mini explosion touching her body. Stomping his foot on the ground, Natsu delivered a powerful haymaker on Parasap's face, sending her flying a few feet back. "Time to finish this!" Natsu, along with his friends pulled out their Blasters and aimed them at Parasap.
"Dimension Blaster: Unity Shot!" All four Rangers pressed the triggers on their blaster, firing a beam that represented their colors before they merged into a much large beam, piercing through her body.
"Damn you, I JUST WANTED POWER!" Parasap let out a silent scream as she fell on her back, exploding into ashes.
As for Ichigo and Demolition, both swordsmen began concentrating their respective powers into their swords, ready for one final strike.
I can do this. This is for Vektor, Kaldon, Natsu, Yusei, Yang, Rias….ever one of my friends! If one were to see under Ichigo's helmet, they would see his eyes briefly glow blue as his weapon was covered in black energy.
"En Guard!" Both Ichigo and Demolition charged at each other, their blades coursing with energy. "I will win for my father!"
"This is for my friends!"
*SLASH*
Faster than anyone could see, both swordsmen appeared a few feet away from each other, their swords extended forward. They simply stayed in place, neither making a sound. Then…..Ichigo fell on one knee, using his sword for support. Demolition looked over his shoulder…...before his sword was cut in half and sparks erupted from his chest. "You….won…." With that, Demolition fell forward, an explosion occurred that sent him rolling a few feet away.
"Ichigo!" The others quickly ran to their friend, helping him stand up. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I thought I was done for." A small groan escaped Demolition as he grabbed his broken sword, looking at the damaged handle. With what little energy he had left, he sat up, getting on his knees while looking down.
"I accept defeat Black Ranger. You may strike me down if you please." Footsteps could be heard as Demolition closed his eyes, waiting for the inevitable to happen.
"No." The son of Oblivion looked up to see Ichigo place his sword on his right shoulder. "I'm not gonna kill someone who can't defend themselves." Under his helmet, Ichigo narrowed his eyes. "But I swear, I'll save my friends, and then I'm going to take down your dad." With that, Ichigo began to walk away. Demolition couldn't believe it: his enemy, The same one whose friends he took, was actually sparing him.
"Tell me…...what's your name?" The Black Ranger stopped before he looked over his shoulder.
"Ichigo….Ichigo Kurosaki."
'The Apocalypse'
"That damn Ranger. How dare he mock my son!" Oblivion said with a deep growl.
"Don't worry my love, I know a way to get revenge." Vila said before she activated the Ragna Cannon.
'Back with the Rangers'
For the uptenth time, a red beam was shot from space, hitting the ashes of Parasap before she was revived, and given a major power boost. "GUESS WHO'S BACK RANGERS!" Parasap said while laughing.
"Ichigo." The Black Ranger nodded as the others stood next to him, opening their morphers and typing in their codes.
"Zords, combined!" The five Dimension Zords appeared in Karakura before merging into the Dimension Titan Megazord.
"I won't let you win like last time. Go get him my babies!" Opening her mouth, Parsap sent a swarm of leeches towards the Megazord, covering it with the small worm-like creatures.
"Crap, this guys really like SUCKING the fun out of this, huh?" Yang joked, only to see the power of the Megazord was slowly decreasing.
"We're losing too much power." Yusei said as he and the others tried to move the Megazord, which provided to be difficult due to its slow movement. Taking the chance, Parasap whipped her arms forward, smacking the Megazord as it tried desperately to move.
"You're finished Rangers!" Just as she was about to strike them again, a bolt of lightning came out of nowhere, hitting her on the head. "OH COME ON!" Looking at their right, the Rangers saw the Scorpion Zord crawling to their aid, using its stinger to zap off the leeches and restore power.
"Thanks buddy. Wanna help us finish her off?" Natsu asked, getting a hiss from his second Zord. The orange Zord folded its claws while the Megazord detached its right arm replacing it with the Scorpion Zord. "Dimension Titan Megazord: Scorpion formation."
"I don't care if you have a million of those things, I'll still drain your power!" The Megazord swung its large wrecking ball at Parasap, who wrapped her own long arm around it. "Get over here!" Using her other arm, Parasap pulled the Megazord close, pressing her large mouth against it as she began sucking out its power.
"Ewww, get off!" The Megazord tried to push her off, but all systems were slowly shutting down. If this kept up, they would be dead in the water, figuratively of course.
"Dammit, we're not going to let this thing get away after all she did." Ichigo said while clenching his right hand. It was at that moment he began to have a vision.
Over the sea was a large fish with a long horn, jumping in the air while cutting the clouds.
Blinking a bit, Ichigo looked down and noticed his morpher glowing, mores specifically the numbers 6-6-3. Realizing what it meant, he typed in the code before pressing ENTER.
"IT'S OVER!"
*SCREECH*
The ground suddenly began to shake as a geyser of water shot out of it, right between Parasap and the Megazord. "What the?!" Before Parasap could react, a large blade came out of the geyser, slashing at her at blinding speed. The Rangers could only widen their eyes as they saw a large, greyish robotic swordfish with yellow eyes and a white underbelly appear in front of they, hovering over the ground.
"A swordfish….." Yusei muttered before realization entered his mind. "Ichigo, this is your second Zord, isn't it?" Ichigo didn't say anything as the new Zord turned around to look at him, as if understanding what it had to do. A smirk crept on Ichigo's face as he looked back at the others.
"Why don't we try combining him with the Scorpion Zord?"
"Can that even happen?" Their morphers began to beep, signalling someone trying to call them.
"Rangers, I forgot to mention that you can use two Auxiliary Zords at the same time Ni-Ni. Try it out Ni-Ni!" Kaldon said with utmost joy.
"You heard him guys, let's do this!" The left ape arm detached as the Swordfish Zord closed its tail fin before attaching to the side of the Megazord.
"Dimension Titan Megazord: Scorpion-Swordfish formation!" The Megazord slashed its new left arm to the side while smashing its right arm on the ground, causing a tidal wave and storm to appear behind it.
(Play Power Rangers Dino Charge theme)
"Oh, you have a new pet. I'm sssssooooooo scared. Babies, get them!" More leeches were shot out Parasap's mouth, heading straight towards the Megazord.
"Not this time." Ichigo moved the controls forward, making the Megazord stick out its left arm. "Rapid Sword Slash!" Just as the leeches were inches from hitting them, the Megazord began thrusting its new sword at blinding speed, cutting leech by leech as they turned to ash.
"MY BABIES!" The Megazord didn't let up as it began to spin its wrecking ball.
"Thunderbolt Finish!" The Megazord flung its lightning-coated wrecking ball forward, striking Parasap on the head, making her scream in pain. Walking forward, the Megazord raised its left arm, charging blue energy into it. "Swordfish Zord…...Whirlpool Impact!" A cyclone of water formed around the Swordfish Zord before the Megazord ran its sword arm through Parasap, piercing through her mouth and body. The leech-like monster gagged before she fell on her back, exploding.
"That's how we do it, Rangers Style." The Megazord lowered its sword arm, looking at the distance. Little did they know, Demolition was watching the whole fight with interest.
"You have proven to be more than I expect Ichigo Kurosaki." He turned around and opened a purple portal. "We will meet again." With that, he disappeared.
'The Legacy, sometime later'
"Sorry I broke the Baton Kaldon. I didn't think it would break after using it." Ichigo said while rubbing the back of his neck. It turned out after using that many volts on Parasap was too much for the Stun Baton and now it was nothing but a broken stick.
"That's okay Ni-Ni. I'm still surprised it was able to do that much damage, even as a prototype Ni-Ni." Kaldon said while examining his broken weapon. He could always work on them in his spare time, so it was no big deal.
"But still, you were a badass out their Strawberry." Yang said while playfully punching Ichigo's shoulder.
"How many times-you know what? Nevermind."
"But still, if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be here. Thank you Ichigo." Rias said with a grateful smile.
"Thanks. Just wish I could've helped more here than out there."
"It doesn't matter to us." Yusei said, giving a very small smile. "Everyone has something they're good at, but that doesn't mean we aren't invincible. You were able to fight Demolition and that monster by yourself, and that's more than enough in my book."
"Yeah, so don't worry about it Ichigo." Natsu said with a toothy grin. Ichigo looked at each of his friends before smiling, letting out a small chuckle.
"Thanks. I thought losing my Soul Reapers would keep me from helping, but I guess I was wrong." Vektor simply watched them with a soft smile. He knew how important it was for them to bond, and to see the amount of trust they had was more than enough for him.
*Thump, thump*
However, the moment was cut when his staff suddenly began to glow, along with the Dimension Crystals. "Huh?" Natsu pulled out his Crystal and noticed how it glowed, just like when he first found it.
"Vektor, what's going on?" The blue skinned alien closed his eyes to concentrate. His eyes widened in shock as he saw something he wasn't expecting.
"It's been found."
"Huh, what's found?" A smile crept on Vektor's face as he looked at the Rangers.
"The Green Dimension Crystal….it's found its wielder."
WOW, was this a pain in the ass. Sorry, but I honestly tried to update this yesterday, but since my family was having their Easter dinner, I had to go. But at least I finished the chapter today, and that's what's important. I mean I COULD have 'posted' a new chapter, but I didn't want to be a dick to you guys.
So anyways, yeah we finally got the Ichigo chapter out of the way. I felt like this was a kinda good story arc for him since he technically had nothing special about him since he lost his Soul Reaper powers. Hell, even Yusei has the power of the Crimson Dragon, which makes him slightly stronger than Ichigo. I hope you guys were okay with his little fight with Demolition, this will not be their last one. And originally, my friend TheExcadrillComics gave me the idea of a Fox Zord for him, but then some people said Swordfish and I was like 'if I did the Fox Zord, it would remind me of Naruto vs Ichigo, then I would be depressed.' So I changed it last minute. So yeah, now I am giving you a major hint as to WHO the Green Ranger will be based on this chapter title. Ready?
Follow, Fav, Review and PM for anything.
Next time: Green Cowboy.
There, there's your hint. If you can't get it, then you'll have to wait buddy lol.
