The sky darkened as a massive rip was seen from above, from that rip, descended a mighty black and silver dragon. It was far bigger then anything anyone has ever seen. The people of Reefside had panicked. The dragon flapped it's mighty wings, as several buildings collapsed, and some of the streets exploded

It would be at that moment, that Tyrell would, wake up. Panting hard from the nightmare he had been enduring for several days. Each time the rangers lost one of their own, the nightmares...no...visions, became more and more clear.

Tyrell: Cadmus...what will it take to stop your summoning?

Tyrell sighed, as he got up. He knew today was Saturday, so thus he had less to worry about when it came to anything major. He limped a bit to the washroom, still feeling he effects of the battle from a few days back.

The details were so clear. The last three had attacked, with a giant army of Komododrones. Ryder, inspite of rampaging through them, got caught offguard by Draxis and blaze, thus his powers were drained. But they had also discovered something else.

~Flashback~

Ryder was on the ground, almost out cold. Draxis and Blaze both laughed at him, since they found it was so easy to defeat him.

Draxis: To think you call yourself a red. You were easier then I thought. Just a little bit of water, and you were down. Now I have all your power, to feed to the dragon devil!

Blaze: Yeah. We beat you boy. Now...to fry to up!

Blaze created a massive fireball, and slammed it against Ryder. Blaze kept chuckling, thinking he won. But after a minute, the fireball had shrunk down, and now, Ryder was getting up. It was slow, but he did. The flame eventually was fully absorbed by him. Blaze and Draxis were both shocked. With that, Draxis shoved a massive thunder fist, right through Blaze's gut, before he forced blaze to explode.

Draxis: That...IDIOT!

Draxis rose up, and flew away. But he had grabbed the last two of the elementals, who were both beaten down, before truly leaving.

Draxis: This is far from over rangers. We will summon Cadmus!

~End Flashback~

When Tyrell was finished thinking over what had happened, he was now showered and dressed. He knew that today, Ryder's band was having a bit of a concert at the cyber cafe.

But Tyrell knew something else was up. But he wasn't going to let it affect him to much. He was looking forward to this. His friends all attending, even the rangers who had already been defeated.

A few minutes later, Tyrell was now over at Tommy's place. Kim had let him in. she was getting pretty large now, due to her pregnancy.

Kim: Can I get you anything?

Tyrell: No thanks. I just want to check in on everyone.

Kim: Sure. Follow me.

Kim led Tyrell down to the dino lab. Though a fair bit of the equipment had been moved around. Karmyn was feeding herself taser shocks, to get her level to normal, while Raykhan and Karen were both feeding fire streams to Ryder. Jake was simply in a tank full of water, though that was also being occupied by Rachel, as she was keeping him company. Heather was playing patticakes with Ariana, who was enjoying the game, inspite of the commotion that was going on. Hanzo then rolled up to the entrance, as he was wheelchair bound, and using a resperator, to help get his energy back.

Tyrell: So it looks like everyone is up. Where's Carl though?

Kim: It was...kind of difficult for him to simply absorb something, so he's currently resting up. He has shown signs of improvement though.

Tyrell: Good. The sooner that we can defeat Draxis, the better. Problem is, he keeps escaping before we're given the chance to strike.

It was then, that Raykhan and Karen stopped channeling fire into Ryder. He smiled, now feeling better.

Ryder: We'll get him. Don't you worry.

Ryder went over to his guitar, and grabbed it. He was now on his way to the Cybercafe, where everyone else was going to meet up with.

Tyrell: I wonder where Lauren is.

Heather: She said he was going to meet us at the cyber cafe.

About one hour later, Tyrell was looking around, over his shoulder, a bit paranoid. They were at the cyber cafe, and Ryder had his band there, with everything set up. People had gathered there, to see their performance. The band adjusted their intsruments, before Ryder spoke into the microphone.

Ryder: Yo! Thank you all for coming. I know it's been a busy year, but I also know, that each and every one of you, has been looking forward to see this pre-end of the school year performance, brought you by, the Ragerz.

The entire crowd (albiet of probably 50-70) cheered loudly for that. The place was quite packed, and the Ragerz were ready.

Ryder: We're going to start off with something punkish. I hope you all enjoy.

Ryder played a few notes on his guitar to start it off. Lauren recognized that song, and cheered. Ryder smirked, just as the rest of the band began to get the rest of the song playing.

Rolling around at the speed of sound,

Got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow.

Can't stick around, have to keep moving on,

Guess what lies ahead,

only one way to find out!

Must keep on moving ahead,

No time for guessing, follow my plan instead.

Trusting in what you can't see,

Oh Yeah!

The entire cafe erupted in cheers upon the completion of the song. Tyrell, who was behind the desk with Lauren and Haley, merely chuckled.

Tyrell: Fitting, considering what could be coming soon

Lauren: I hate to agree with that one, but I do agree.

Suddenly, all the rangers had gotten a text from Tommy, at the same time. They all looked at it the fallen rangers remained calm, and continued what they were doing, while the remaining three all stepped outside.

The Message was:

I hate to break this up, but we got trouble in the chinatown district. A monster that looks like a fusion of both Snake and Velvet is attacking there. Could be a trap. But still needs to be taken care off. As much as all of you would want to go, only those with powers remaining must go. Best of luck guys.

Lauren: Damn. Okay. We got this. Guys...we have to stop this one. I'll be damned if Cadmus rises.

Heather: don'tyou think we feel the same?

Lauren: Point taken. Dragon Force. Divine Dragon Power!

Tyrell and Heather: Dragon Force. Dragon Power!

The three had transformed, summoned their G-riders, and sped towards their destination. It would only take five minutes to get there, and all three were surprised to see it was just this new warrior alone.

Monster: Greetings rangers. This will be your final fight before the rise of Cadmus. But before that, remembr thy name...Velvelt Snake.

Heather: Velvet...Snake?

Tyrell: Don't ask me, I'm not the one who comes up these names.

It was then, that a huge horde of Komododrones would jump out of the nearby buildings, literally causing a separating between Lauren and her comrades. Instantly, they all ganged up on her.

VS: Let's rock!

The rangers of light and chaois collided with their opponent. Their opponent was extremely strong, having only to suplex the both of them easily. The rangers summoned their swords, but Velvet Snake blasted them out of their hands with silver bolts.

Heather: What? This monster has our Janus combo power.

VS: Correct. After all...Lady Azalia does keep a close eye on everything when she watches. She's no fool, unlike the rest of the former villains that have tried to take over.

Velvet Snake then used a massive silver beam to blow the two back. But they got back up, and struck the monster down. They stood over Velvet Snake, swords poised to strike, but the monster shot a light and dark blast at each of them. Normally, they would simplay absoirb it, but she aimed the blasts at the opposite elements, which hurdled to two back, landing right into the nearby wall. Suddenly, many vines burst through, and wrapped themselves around Tyrell and Heather. They doid try to break free, but the more they struggled, the more vines wrapped around them. Soon, they were unable to move. Draxis appeared, and chuckled.

Draxis: I knew this plan would work.

VS: Yeah. I'm just glad Lady Azalia listened.

Draxis smirked again, and went towards Tyrell and Heather. He grabbed their throats, and began to absorb their powers. Within a minute, it was done.

Draxis: My work is done. Have some fun while you're here.

VS: With pleasure.

Draxis teleported out, just as Lauren was finished with the last of the komododrones. She saw what had happened, and collapsed to her knees. Velvet Snake began to laugh.

VS: Thinking of your fallen comrades? All seven of them? Their power has been put to better use now. As for you. Well I'm just gonna beat you around, like a broken doll!

Lauren looked up, and did a flip kick to Velvet Snake. She summoned her katana, and began to hack and slash away, like a madman (or mad woman in this case).

Lauren: I swear...I will kill you...I'll kill Draxis...Ill slaughter Lothor...I'll vaporize Azalia...I'll destroy Cadmus! If I have to do it alone...I...WILL!

VS: As if.

Velvet Snake tossed a silver coin in the air. Seeing this ritual, Lauren slashed the coin in two, negating the effects. Lauren then threw her sword in the air, and charged up a fire and thunder fist. She moved in, and rapidly punched Velvet Snake around. Lauren then glowed the various colors of the elements, before grabbing her sword, and slashing right through Velvet Snake. Velvet Snake fell backwards, and exploded.

Lauren: Guys...I'm so...so sorry.

Lauren walked over to her friends, and picked them up. Ragnarok had appeared overhead, and teleported the three up, instantly placing the two fallen rangers onto hospital beds.

About ten minutes later, Lauren had walked back into the cyber cafe, now demorphed. It looked as if everyone was leaving, as the concert was over. Ryder saw Lauren, and her expression. He put his guitar down, and embraced her, as she let a few tear go.

Lauren: I...I failed. Tyrell...Heather...fallen.

Ryder: Shhh...it's okay. It's okay.

Lauren: No. Cadmus will come.

Ryder: I know. But...You're going to be fighting it. That's all I need to know, that we will win. I love you Lauren.

Lauren: I...love you to Ryder. Thank you.

Ryder just kept holding her. He was concerned for what had happened, and what was to come, but he did have pure confidence that Lauren would succeed. For Now though, they had to wait.

A/N: Hey. Happy holidays everyone. I hope you all enjoyed the holidays. I know I enjoyed mine. And now, the new chapter of this story is up. And if you're wondering, when Velvet snake talked, I just used the initials, as you saw (so as to not be confused with it's other meaning of those two letters together lol). Oh, and the song used earlier was 'Escape From the City' by Crush 40 and Tony Harnell. You may recognize that song from Sonic 2 Battle.

And remember, as always, leave a review, will make me a very happy camper lol.
