Hayden James stepped into the 'Royal' Chambers where Saizo sat. The rippling energy brought him to a sudden stop as Saizo's gaze moved from Mesogog, to Goldar, and then to him. Somewhere, Saizo had found a new and massive power source. The energy he contained was perhaps double, maybe even three times what it was before… So powerful was the aura, Hayden found himself shaking where he stood. These emotions pleased the Archdemon as Saizo brought his hands together.

"I have called you here my generals one reason." Saizo began as the power began to swell in the room and Hayden could feel the oxygen being pulled from his lungs. "Tomorrow… in 12 hours, we begin the invasion of Earth. We will seize control of it in one fell swoop! We will destroy the Earth's greatest heroes, and then these foolish humans will finally learn what it's like to taste true, utter fear..."

Hayden gathered what oxygen he could and grinned. Finally! No more waiting! Saizo was going to finish this... He could feel the excitement beginning to swell with each passing second and anxiously rubbed his hands together. In the back of his mind, a little piece of him was screaming and struggling to gain some kind of freedom. Then, Dragon telepathically spoke to him. "If you remain Saizo's puppet any longer, you will suffer the same fate these humans will. You must break his control…"

Hayden found himself snarling as he rubbed the morpher on his wrist in an attempt to silence the dragon, and for the moment it did as Saizo began to speak again.

"We will begin our initial assault on Reefside to stop the Power Rangers from thwarting our plans and then move outwards to the rest of the team… Surprisingly, that bumbling buffoon Lothor managed to destroy the Ninja Storm Rangers, the only likely threat to our plans. With Mystic Heaven in ruins, the Mystic Rangers have lost their power, and what Rangers who can morph… heh…" Saizo gave a little chuckle and waved them off. "They are no trouble. However, my Great Generals, each of you will need… reliable subordinates of your own." Saizo reached out black ash rose from the floor began and formed into 6 Figures.

Materializing before Goldar was the vivacious Scorpina and the repulsive Rito Revolto. Their eyes were pitch black and they immediately before Goldar. Inscribed upon their shoulders was a Mystic Seal. Even though Goldar was hardly familiar with the machinations of Mystic Heaven, or Magic itself, his time Rita had taught him one thing: the knowledge of seals. The sigil was a Binding Sigil that removed any freewill and bound their souls to Goldar and Saizo alone.

Before Mesogog stood the resurrected Zeltrax and the traitorous Vexacus. Immediately both of the warriors kneeled. Mesogog's only other minion was Elsa, but she had regained her humanity, and thus wasn't dead for Saizo to manipulate. But Vexacus would work perfectly…

"And for you Hayden, my Master General… I give you two special body guards: the worst enemies any of the Power Rangers have faced." Saizo said as the ash began to gather once more.

Hayden straightened as the figures began to take shape, and even before they gain any significant features, he already knew who they were: Megahorn the Armored Dragon and Magma the Gigas. Each of them kneeled before Hayden and lowered their heads as a sign of respect – whether it was willing or not.

As Saizo began to rise from his chair, two more ashen figures began to materialize. When he came to full height… his personal Body Guards were revealed: the Machine Demon Moritcon and the Dark Wizard Imperious. Snapping his hand out, all 11 of his generals bowed on command. "Prepare yourself for tomorrow… the world is ours!" Saizo claimed and roared with laughter.

But Hayden spoke suddenly and stood. "I see only one flaw with your plan, Master." Hayden spoke as Saizo's burning red eyes flashed to him. The frightening look caused Hayden involuntarily shrink back, but Saizo did nothing… Taking that as his cue to continue, Hayden spoke again. "We will need an army to take the Rangers down..."

But Saizo began to laugh again, and that took Hayden off guard. Had he been preparing for something like this? Saizo reached out as the wall behind them shifted and melted into the shape of a balcony. The Three Generals turned to the balcony and peered over… to see hundreds, maybe even thousands of monsters below. Each of them were rotting, dead corpses standing in a straight line. Each of them had the binding sigil on their shoulders.

"Since Hayden so graciously destroy Hades, I now have full access to the Abyss, so how about every monster any of the Ranger Teams have fought?" Saizo countered devilishly as the Generals looked out at the swaying creatures.

Now… it was only a matter of time…
