Skullatin absorbed some of the power of the dimension diamonds into him. Even though Ash might have saved everyone and secured the dimension diamonds, it wasn't enough. The dimension diamonds have no power and Skullatin started an invasion. All they did was just watch as Skullatin's ship moved to the nearest city and he sent his minions to attack. People were running for their lives as Skullatin was destroying everything.
"That's right. Run and fear my power for I will be your new ruler." Skullatin claimed as there was no sign of resistance or any chance of him being defeated. All the people that Ash saved along with the rangers just watched.
"This is unbelievable." Davis said.
"He'll destroy everything and everyone will suffer." Hiccup said.
"What do we do?" Ichigo said.
"What can we do? He's too strong and we don't have our powers anymore. We're not rangers." Korra said.
"That doesn't matter. Everything will be destroyed if we don't do something." Ash said as he made a run for the city that Skullatin was attacking.
"Ash, stop!" Delia called out. "Where are you going? It's too dangerous to be going there."
"I don't care, Mom. It's my responsibility as a ranger to stop guys like that." Ash said.
"Ash, we don't have our powers anymore. The dimension diamonds are just ordinary rocks." Yusuke said.
"Yusuke has a point. How are we suppose to beat him?" Runo said.
"I'm going to have to side with everyone. Without the power of the dimension diamonds, you will surely be destroyed since Skullatin does have that power." Starosiv said.
"That doesn't matter. We never gave up before and I'm not starting now." Ash said. "We fought bad guys before when it seemed hopeless and each of us managed to pull through. That was before we became rangers. I'm going down there and I'm going to fight." Ash wasn't going to turn back as he continued to head for the city.
"He's right." Davis said as each of the rangers took what Ash said to heart.
"None of us ever gave up in any fight." Hiccup said.
"We shouldn't either. Besides, he won't last long if he fights alone." Runo said. All of them were in agreement and decided to go with Ash and fight.
"They must be nuts. They don't stand a chance against Skullatin." Nebulon said.
"No, they're not. They are heroes in their own right. They are willing to risk their lives to save everyone, even when it seems they have no chance." Starosiv said.
"But what about the dimension diamonds?" Nebulon said. "Isn't there some way that can restore their power so they all have more of a fighting chance?"
"There just might be." Starosiv said.
…
Skullatin
Skullatin watched as all of his vilicons were attacking and destroying everything as he walked through the wreckage. It wouldn't be long until he had complete control over this world.
"Skullatin!" Skullatin turned around as he saw Ash coming up to him.
"You again? What are you doing here?" Skullatin said.
"I'm stopping you." Ash said.
"You must be joking." Skullatin said. "You're not a ranger anymore and you don't have anyone to back you up. You're all alone."
"No he's not." Both of them saw the rest of the team run to Ash's side and they stood by him.
"Wow, he got a real makeover." Runo said as those who didn't see his new form were actually amazed by it.
"You're all here?" Skullatin questioned.
"That's right. We're not going to let Ash fight you alone." Atem said.
"We told you before that if you want to take over all dimensions, you'll have to get through us first." Sakura said.
"Admirable, but pathetic. None of you have the strength to even have close to my power." Skullatin said.
"We won't know that until we try." Ash said as all of them pulled out their weapons or whatever they can use to fight against him.
"Very well. I'll eliminate you pests and move on with myself." Skullatin said and the final battle begun. All of the rangers charged right in and fought with everything they got. Hiccup pulled out his fire sword and swung it down, but Skullatin blocked it easily with his. He pushed Hiccup off and grabbed his prosthetic leg and tossed him back. Runo grabbed a hold of his right arm to hold him back, but Skullatin shoved her off and she hit the ground hard.
"You jerk!" Davis said as he jumped up to try and kick him, but Skullatin blocked it and kicked Davis hard. Sakura brought back her right fist and tried her monster strength, but Skullatin grabbed her fist and blocked it.
"Good arm, but useless." Skullatin said as he swept her off her feet and had her hit the ground. Atem tried as he tried a few kicks, but Skullatin blocked them all. Skullatin shoved the sword into the ground and created a shockwave that damaged him and tossed him back.
"Heads up!" Korra said as she brought up two boulders out of the ground and tossed them, but Skullatin didn't even flinch as they hit and shattered into pieces without him getting hurt.
"Throwing rocks? Are we fighting like children?" Skullatin said. He fired an energy blast near her and it knocked her off her feet. Yusuke and Ichigo decided to combine their spiritual powers.
"Getsuga Tensho!"
"Spirit Gun!" Both of them shot their spiritual attacks and they combined into a spiritual blast. Skullatin held up his sword and was able to block it.
"Back at you." Skullatin said. He reflected the attack back at them and it blasted the both of them as they were both blown back by it.
"That's enough." Ash said as he tried to pound him, but Skullatin blocked him and drove his fist in his stomach. Ash didn't go down that easily as he tried to kick him, but Skullatin wasn't even feeling it. He gave him a power thrust with his hand and pushed him back and had Ash slide against the ground.
"Goodbye!" Skullatin said as he launched an energy blast at the rangers and an explosion went off around all of them and knocked them all down. They weren't giving up yet. They were all in some pain, but they simply refused to stay down and let this monster walk all over them. "I'm amazed you're all still willing to fight. Why won't you just give it up?"
"That's not an option." Atem said.
"For real. Who do you think we are?" Runo said.
"We told you that we aren't going to let you win." Sakura said.
"We'll keep getting up until you go down." Korra said.
"How are you going to do that? I have your powers." Skullatin said.
"We don't need them." Davis said.
"We'll still beat you without them." Ichigo said.
"No matter what happens to us, we'll fight until we can't breathe anymore." Hiccup said.
"You can knock us around all you want, but we still hold the strength to fight." Yusuke said.
"That's right." Ash said. "We might not be power rangers right now, but we're still going to fight; even if we have no power."
"Then how about we give you some of our power." They all looked around and saw all their friends and family were coming out and gathering around the rangers.
"What is this?" Skullatin said. Starosiv and Nebulon appeared in front of everyone to confront Skullatin.
"This is about to be your end." Nebulon said.
"Yes. We're about to restore the power in the dimension diamonds." Starosiv said.
"What?" Ash said.
"Impossible. I have all the power. The power of the dimension diamonds are mine." Skullatin said.
"You hold a fraction of their power, but someone as evil as you can never unleash their true power." Starosiv said as he turned to face the rangers.
"What do you mean?" Davis said.
"How can we restore their power?" Hiccup said.
"Starosiv told us everything." Delia said. "He said that all we have to do is combine our powers and give it to you rangers."
"Starosiv said that by focusing on friendship and togetherness will restore them." Astrid said.
"Togetherness and friendship?" Ash questioned.
"The power of the dimension diamonds have the power to unite all dimensions, but you are all capable of doing that on your own. The true power of the diamonds is when those who have pure hearts are united as one. With all these beings from other dimensions coming together, it should restore them."
"But will it really work? No one here really knows the people outside of their own dimensions." Ichigo said.
"It doesn't matter." Yugi said.
"We all got to know each other during our time in prison." Naruto said.
"Friendship can grow no matter where a person is form." Nebulon said. "Now we will use that power to give you the strength needed to finish Skullatin. All of us will finish him together." Everyone was saying the same thing as they all joined hands and gathered around the rangers. The joined friendships from almost a hundred people were coming together and caused light to shine with the rangers. Skullatin didn't believe it at first, but he changed his mind when he saw the light.
"No! This can't be happening." Skullatin said.
"Together!" Everyone shouted and cheered with the light glowing brighter. When it faded away, all of them backed away and saw Ash and the others had their powers restored and were in their ranger forms with each of them posing and an explosion going off.
"Silver Dimension Ranger!"
"White Dimension Ranger!"
"Gold Dimension Ranger!"
"Green Dimension Ranger!"
"Pink Dimension Ranger!"
"Yellow Dimension Ranger!"
"Black Dimension Ranger!"
"Blue Dimension Ranger!"
"Red Dimension Ranger!"
"Together our hearts are one. The power of one shall not be stopped. Power Rangers Dimensions!"
"That power is mine. Give me that power!" Skullatin demanded.
"You asked for it." Ichigo said as he was the first to attack and pulled out his blade. Skullatin swung his, but Ichigo blocked it and slashed against him. The rangers were stronger than ever before. Korra jumped up and tossed her cross. It flew around and struck against Skullatin.
"Fire!"
"Scatter Shuffle!" Yusuke and Atem charged right him as they both blasted him. Then, Sakura and Runo jumped over the boys. Both of them slashed against his side and nearly had him dropped. Hiccup came running in. He swung his axe against him. He jumped up and slashed him down. Davis took his turned as he jumped and blasted away at him.
"Ready to give up?" Ash said.
"That's my line." Skullatin said.
"You had your chance. You're end is here, Skullatin. Everyone lend me your power and I will end this." Ash said as he pulled out his sword. The rangers brought their arms together and Ash used it like a spring to have him jump into the air. All of them shot a beam from their diamonds and gave their power to Ash. "Unity Dimension Slash!"
"This can't be happening. I'm the ruler of all dimensions!" Skullatin shouted. Ash slashed down and Skullatin could feel the power of everyone coming together as one. The rangers turned from him as he fell back and Skullatin was destroyed in a massive explosion. The rangers demorphed and walked as heroes as everyone cheered for them. Everyone cheered for the rangers and they were filled with pride for beating their greatest threat.
"Excellent work. I've never been more proud of any of you." Starosiv said.
"We actually destroyed Skullatin!" Yusuke cheered.
"This is the greatest moment ever of being a ranger." Ash said.
"Yes, all of you should be proud of yourselves. Sadly, this is also your last moment as rangers." Starosiv said and that put a damper on the celebration party.
"What?" Nebulon said.
"Skullatin is gone and all dimensions are safe." Starosiv said. "There's no reason for the dimension rangers anymore. Nebulon and I shall take the dimension diamonds and keep them safe."
"So this is goodbye?" Davis said.
"It looks like it." Nebulon said.
"I'm afraid so." Starosiv said. He waved his scepter and a case for the diamonds appeared as well as eight portals. "These portals will take the rest of you back to your own dimensions no matter who crosses through. The dimension diamonds if you all please." None of them actually thought this day would come, but the truth was that they didn't want it to. All of them took off their dimension diamonds and gave them to Starosiv.
"Thank you for everything." Atem said.
"None of us will ever forget you, Starosiv and Nebulon." Runo said.
"You're the reason we all came together in the first place. We got to know each other because of you." Ash said. "I can't thank you enough for all that you've done for us."
"As long as you all remember that your hearts are one, you will always be power rangers and friends." Starosiv said. The nine of them gathered together and came in a group hug for they were more than rangers and friends. The time came for everyone to say goodbye with all of them returning to their own dimension with them continuing on with their lives and Starosiv and Nebulon continued to travel through dimensions. No matter where they went, no matter how far their dimensions were, they all continued on their own adventures and never forgot each other for their hearts were always one.
