{Back To The Earth by Starset starts playing}

(Music starts) Redberserker, Bluegeneral, Yellowassassin, Pinkpsycho, Greendetective, and Shin Devil Deus appear from shadows.

(And the world. Pulled me high) Adrian, Robin, Gio, Marcus, Fiona, Imp and Devel stood in a circle looking at one another. They then looked up as a red light engulfed them.

(Far above. Wicked skies) The red light was then revealed to be coming from a giant version of Tia's monster form that was towering over the city. The group scowled at the giant as she laughed evilly

(Set me free. Set alive) Devel and Fiona stood back to back looking at the gashat's Zeke gave them. Devel's face had anger and regret on it while Fiona's face had sorrow and anger on it.

(I become, satellite) Zeke walked in between the two and touched their shoulders. Devel and Fiona turned around and only saw one another before scowling at each other.

(Isolated, I succumb to the weight of the world.) The Game-man begin fighting off many monsters and grunts. Redberserker, Bluegeneral, and Yellowassassin are overpowered by the monsters and grunts.

(Separated, I fall from the sky.) Greendetective, Pinkpsycho and Shin Devil Deus were seperated from one another. Fighter Ace then appeared to begin fighting Greendetective and Pinkpsycho.

(Music plays) Shin Devel Deus continued fighting then he looked behind him as Tia's monster form sat on a throne staring at him. She then threw a energy spike at him.

(Is this death or rebirth?) Shin Devil Deus braced himself but was surprised when the spike was hit out of the air by Pinkpsycho. Pinkpsycho then stood beside Shin Devil Deus along with the other Game-man.

(Music plays) Tia's monster form stood up from her throne and readied herself. The Game-man and Shin Devil Deus readied themselves as the stared at Tia. The Game-man then charged at Tia's monster form, Redberserker leading the charge. Tia's monster form charged at the Game-man. The Game-man then attacked Tia's monster form.

(Falling back to the earth.) The attacks caused an explosion that then dissipated to show Adrian, Imp, Gio, Robin, Marcus, Fiona, and Devel were looking up at the night sky along with the spirit of Zeke. The stars in the sky then formed into multi-colored pixels which spelled out Video Sentai Game-man.


The night after last chapter, The game-man stood in a coroner's office as Zeke's sister identified his body. Adrian had his arms crossed as he stood against the wall, Robin and Gio just stayed silent and close to one another, Marcus comforted Fiona as she sniffled and tried not to cry. In the hallway, Devel was resting against the wall and looking at the Wanderer's Journey gashat then he looked up as Imp touched him on his shoulder.

The next day, the game-man were at school in the empty gym. They all sat on the stands in silence then Gio said,"Feels weird. Ya know without Zeke here." in a saddened tone.

"Yeah, we know Gio. We know.",Marcus said in a saddened tone. Gio nodded then he looked at Adrian and asked,"Where's Imp?"

"She went to check on Devel. I wanted to go with her, but she said that she needed to do it alone. Seeing as how he's her 'dad' and all.",Adrian said. Robin looked at Fiona and noticed that she was holding the Wanderer's Tale gashat tightly before said,"Zeke's gashat, did he give it to you."

"Yes. Zekey gave me this.",Fiona said in a saddened tone while staring at the gashat. Marcus sighed then said,"Speaking of Devel, what are we gonna do with him? I mean, he's still alive and Tia still wants to kill him."

"We should just give him to her.",Fiona said. The others looked at her with disbelief then Robin said,"Why would we do that Fi? If we give him to Tia, she becomes unstoppable and will kill us and do god knows what else."

"I don't care. Devel's the reason my Zekey is dead so he should be dead too. Besides, I have no reason to live without Zekey.",Fiona said, not even looking at her friends.

"What're you talking about Fiona? You've got all of us still and Zeke wouldn't want you to think like this.",Gio said with sincerity. Fiona pounced onto Gio and insanely shouted,"DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME WHAT ZEKEY WOULD'VE WANTED!"

Robin pushed Fiona back and Marcus held her back. Robin then said,"Fiona, stop acting crazy alright."

"DON'T CALL ME CRAZY! ONLY ZEKEY CAN CALL ME CRAZY! Only Zekey can call me crazy.",Fiona shouted, with the last sentenced being sobbed into Marcus' chest. Marcus hugged his little sister and kissed her on the top of her head while saying,"It's okay Fiona, we all miss him."

Robin, Gio, and Adrian could only watch as Fiona sobbed and Marcus comforted her. Adrian then stood up and said,"We're going after Tia."

"What?",Marcus questioned.

"You heard me. We're cutting out all this bullshit of waiting to see what she does and we're going straight to her. She has to pay for what she did.",Adrian said with determination and anger in his voice.

"I agree.",Devel said as he and Imp appeared in front of the group. The Game-man looked at the two and Fiona scowled at Devel then angrily said,"Devel."

"Fiona.",Devel said in a emotionless voice while looking at her. Adrian, Gio, and Robin got off of the bleachers and Adrian said,"Why are you here Devel?"

"Devel-sama wants to help defeat Tia and to show you all something.",Imp said. Devel then revealed the Wanderer's Journey gashat, which caused Gio to say,"Why do you have Wanderer's Journey?"

"Because Zeke gave it to me, just as he gave Fiona his first one.",Devel said.

"What do you need to show us Devel?",Adrian asked.

"A message from the dead.",Devel said before he button on the Wanderer's Journey gashat.

"Okay, have I finally got this thing to work? I think I have, ha ha! Nice one Zeke.",The gashat said in Zeke's voice. The Game-man gasped then Fiona said with a smile,"It's Zekey, he's alive."

"No, this only a recording of his voice. Now listen.",Devel said.

"Okay so first off, hey guys. If you're hearing then it means that I'm probably dead. I know it's probably hitting you all pretty hard, but I don't want you guys being too down about it. I mean, I accepted the fact I was gonna die a long time ago, I know I'm a kid but still. Anyway, the reason I'm making this recording is for it to be a last will & testament of sorts. I say of sorts because it's only for you guys. Anyway,"

"To my best friend Adrian, I'd like to ask if you could not let this moment turn you back into that rage filled guy you were when you were working for Tia. You're a good guy and shouldn't be all mopey everyday. Also keep Imp around, I can tell that you two are a perfect match for one another plus she keeps you sane." Adrian heard this and chuckled slightly before saying,"I'll do my best little buddy."

"To Robin, I'd like to ask if you could make sure to keep being the awesome friend and badass shooter you are. I mean seeing you take up the mantle of leader when Adrian was gone inspired me so much and I think you can inspire others like you did me, if that makes sense. Also try not hitting Gio so much, even if he deserves it most of the time." Robin heard then and wiped a tear from eye while smiling then she said,"I can do that."

"Speaking of which, to my weirdo of a friend Gio, I just gotta ask you to keep being you and to quit acting like you're a complete idiot. You're way smarter than you think and should use that to your advantage." Gio heard this and sniffled before wiping the tears out of his eyes and saying,"E e, ore wa sore o yarou to suru koto ga dekimasu."

"Now to Marcus, all I really want you to do is not close yourself off anymore and to let the leash off of FIona. You're a great person and a good brother, but you don't need to be so strict with her." Marcus heard then and said,"Alright twerp."

"Now I have a joint request for both Fiona and Devel. Fiona, I love you with all my heart and I know you're dealing with my death the hardest out of all but in saying that, I'd like to ask if you could look after Devel for me. As for Devel, well could you look after Fiona for me. I know you two most likely hate each other, but I feel that you two have more in common than you want to admit and need one another." Fiona sniffled then she said,"I love you too Zekey."

Devel only nodded.

"Well that's all I really had. So before I turn this off I just wanna say that you guys were the best friends, wait a sec you guys aren't just my friends. You're my family and my heroes and I wish the best for all of you, I also hope you guys stay in touch no matter what. Without further adieu, I'm Zeke Matlock and I say goodbye to the Video Sentai Game-Man."

The recording then clicked off and all of the group could do was stand in silence. Imp looked at them all and said,"It seems that Violetking, I mean Zeke cared about you all very much."

"Yeah he did. He was the best of us.",Marcus said.

"Well that's obvious, I mean he did save Devel's villainous ass.",Gio remarked causing everyone to laugh slightly. Devel smirked then said,"Yes and it for that reason, that I am going kill Tia. with or without you alls help."

"Oh we're helping, Tia needs to pay for taking Zekey away from me.",Fiona said with determination.

"Not just that, she's also the reason all of the bugsters that we've faced and that have been terrorizing the city for so long.",Marcus said.

"Let's not forget that she also infected us with bugster virus'.",Gio chimed in.

"Hold on a sec guys, what about Fighter Ace and the fact that we have no idea where she is.",Robin questioned.

"She'll come to us. She still needs me dead in order to get her full power remember.",Devel said.

"As for FIghter Ace, I've been wanting to kick his ass for a bit now.",Adrian said.

"That we agree on. I hate that mysterious fucker just as much as you all.",Devel said.

"Then it's settled, this our final battle. Let's go be the heroes he knew us as.",Adrian said. Robin, Gio, Marcus, and Devel nodded. Adrian then looked at Imp and asked,"You wanna come and fight with us?"

Imp shook her head then said,"While I'd love to fight by your side, I'd only get in the way."

Adrian nodded in understanding then he looked at the others and said,"Let's go guys."

Adrian, Robin, Gio, Marcus, Fiona, and Devel began walking towards the exit. Fiona and Devel walked side by side and Fiona scowled Devel before saying,"The only reason I'm fighting beside you is because Zekey asked me to."

"Don't fret, the only reason I'm tolerating you is because of Zeke's request.",Devel said while scowling at Fiona.


On the roof of the Quantum Gaming company, Tia paced back and forth with her arms crossed then she let out a frustrated sigh before saying,"Dammit! How hard is it to kill one goddamn bugster!"

"Considering that Devel isn't like any bugster you created, quite the difficult task.",Fighter Ace said. Tia turned her head to Fighter Ace then said,"I don't want to hear any more sly remarks from you dammit."

Fighter Ace scoffed then he looked at the ground and said,"Huh, this was unexpected."

"What's unexpected Ace?",Tia questioned.

"The Game-man are on the ground level.",Fighter Ace said. Tia went to the edge of the roof and saw the Game-man walked up to the entrance. She had a wicked smirk creep onto her face then she said,"This unexpectedly, good."

On the ground, The Game-Man stopped in the middle of the courtyard as Tia and Fighter Ace appeared a few feet in front of them. Tia smiled evilly and said,"Well well well, seems you kids finally came to your senses and."

"Save it Tia. We aren't here to give you Devel, but instead to put you down once and for all.",Adrian said, interrupting Tia. Tia gritted her teeth then huffed out some air before frustratingly saying,"Alright then, straight to the point. So how do you wretched little shits plan on beating me?"

"Well we are gamers so you figure out how we would defeat a final boss like you.",Robin said. Tia laughed briefly then said,"You all plan on beating me in a fight? I haven't even shown you guys my full power yet you're that cocky?"

"Considering you're a frigid bitch that needs Devel in order to have full power, yeah we're a bit cocky."Gio said to taunt Tia.

"Plus you've underestimated us the entire time we've been Game-men yet we've come out on top no matter what.",Marcus said. Tia gritted her teeth then said,"Okay, I get it. You all are acting like this because I killed Zeke."

"Don't you dare say my Zekey's name tramp.",Fiona said.

"Enough talk, let's get to the fun part already.",Devel said. Tia scoffed then said,"Since you all insist on dying. Ace."

Tia pulled out the Giga Boss Battle gashat then Fighter Ace was absorbed into it before she pressed the button and stuck it into her heart. Tia then changed into a monstrous form.

Tia's torso was covered in black armor that had violet accents on it that formed into a dragon. Her left arm was reptilian in nature with green scales for skin and black claws at the end of her fingers as well as having arm being clothed by tattered black cloths and the head of Roganda was the shoulder pad. Her right arm was similar to her left except it was covered in navy blue and black fur along with having violet bandages covering most of the arm and having the head of Fenrir being the shoulder pad. Her lower body was covered in armor that was black with violet accents as well as having fur and scales being seen from the places armor wasn't covering. Tia's had had now changed so that her hair was now like Fighter Ace's except violet with black, green and navy blue accents, and her skin had be reptilian and grey. She also had no lips and her razor teeth could be seen and she had red eyes with black slits in them.

The Game-man gasped at Tia then Adrian said,"So that what she looks like as a bugster. Can't say I'm surprised you have scales considering." as he took out his gashat gear dual alpha. Robin, Gio, Marcus, Fiona, and Devel revealed their gashats as well and along with Adrian they all said,"Game Start!" before activating their transformations.

Redberserker, Bluegeneral, Yellowassassin, Greendetective, Pinkpsycho, and Shin Devil Deus stood side by side. The five readied themselves then charged at Tia.

Tia blocked a punch from Redberserker then she kicked him back before punching Yellowassassin in the face and sending them both back. Tia blocked a few shots Bluegeneral then dodged a slash from Pinkpsycho. Tia was then hit in the back and stumbled forward before she dodged a slash from both Greendetective and Shin Devil Deus. Tia then sent energy bursts into all six game-man before she gathered green energy around her right hand before sending it into the ground. This caused explosions to happen around the team, sending them all to the ground.

"What the hell was that?",Greendetective asked as he and the others picked themselves up off the ground.

"That was the move Roganda uses if you get caught on his level in Shadow Stalker.",Yellowassassin said while readying his sword.

"Very observant Gio. Let's see which one of you can tell where this one came from.",Tia said while gathering navy blue energy on her left arm. She then swung charged at the Game-man and swiftly slashed all of them with her energy covered claw, causing them to fly back. Redberserker and Shin Devil Deus landed next to one another and Redberserker said,"That was one of Fenrir's specials. How the hell is she using that attack?"

"It's the gashat Giga Boss Battle.",Shin Devil Deus said before he and Redberserker evaded attacks from Tia. "It houses all the data of the bosses the three idiots who I called my creators had created over the years, it's how they were able to gain the forms of Zatarn, Fenrir, and Roganda. It's not much of a surprise that she can call upon all of their powers and movesets."

"You couldn't have told us this earlier?! How do you even know that?",Yellowassassin asked as he and Greendetective fought Tia, only to be swatted away by the monstrous woman.

"Considering before an hour ago we were all enemies you shouldn't be so surprised. That gashat is what I used to send bugsters after you all.",Shin Devil Deus said as he and Redberserker charged at Tia along with Bluegeneral and Pinkpsycho. Tia chuckled then she disappeared from where she stood as she was about to be hit by the four game-man.

"Where'd she go?",Pinkpsycho asked as she an the other looked around. Suddenly, a dozen versions of Tia appeared around the group before firing missiles at them all. Greendetective and Pinkpsycho stumbled out of the fireball only to be swiftly slashed several times by two Tia's. Bluegeneral and Yellowassassin looked around before two Tia's appeared behind them and slashed them down their backs before punching the both back. Redberserker and Shin Devil Deus were the only ones standing before they were hit by Tia, who then shot bone spikes at them.

The six Game-man tumbled towards one another then they saw all the Tia's combined into one who then slammed her fists into the ground. This caused the ground in front of her to crack before a pillar of fire and lava exploded on the Game-man, and they all shouted in pain.

Adrian, Robin, Gio, Marcus, Fiona, and Devel fell to the ground with injuries prevalent on their bodies and their clothes being damaged slightly. Tia smirked then walked over to the group.

"Nitrana, Shinzo Kugara, Ryo, Bakuzone; she really does have the powers of everyone that we've fought.",Marcus said while struggling to sit up.

"If that's the case, then how are supposed to beat her?",Robin questioned while she tried to stand.

"You don't beat me. You all just sit there and watch as I become all powerful.",Tia evilly said as she got closer to the group. Once she was close enough, Tia hauled Devel to his feet and punched him several times while saying,"Now it's time for you to be a good bugster and die!"

Tia then tossed Devel to ground behind her and he tumbled on the ground. Devel gritted his teeth then he tried to stand up while growling in pain,"I won't do that for anyone, especially you."

"It wasn't a request.",Tia said as she grabbed Devel by his throat and summoned an energy spike in her hand. Adrian, Robin, Gio, Marcus, and Fiona saw this and tried to stop Tia but they were too racked with pain to even move. Tia laughed evilly as she drew her arm back, ready to kill Devel.
