A ghostly wind blew through the barren streets of Reefside, California as a lone Dragon stood amongst the fallen bodies of the S.P.D Rangers. Infershia Archdemon Saizo let out a victorious roar that soon turned into an eerie, hollow laughter. The S.P.D Rangers had fought valiantly, yes, but they, like so many others, just weren't strong enough to stop him. Saizo lifted up the still panting and gasping Jack Landors. His red and grey uniform was tarnished with gashes and dirt as Saizo raised his other hand and summoned an energy ball.
"Time for you to die…" Saizo whispered and thrust the energy ball forward... that sizzled into a nearby building and blew it sky high. Jack Landor's had just… disappeared. Saizo slowly looked right to see the Gold Ranger laying Jack carefully on the ground. "Acting on your own, Dragon?" Saizo snarled as Dragon stood up and turned to face him. "You know you can't beat me… You don't have the strength!"
"No, you're right Saizo, I don't." Dragon spoke and summoned his Naganata as it shifted into Scimitar form. "BUT I CAN AT LEAST WEAKEN YOU!" He flashed forward; dragging the scimitar through the air for a quick, fatal strike, but Saizo stopped his arm with a forearm block, grabbed his shoulder with the other and drove a vicious knee into his stomach. The blow took all the strength from Dragon as he fell to both knees, couching and sputtering as Saizo loomed over him.
"A foolish endeavor…" Saizo whispered as he lifted Dragon up by the throat, turned sharply and hurled him into and nearly through the wall of a still standing building. The shock of the impact brought the building down completely as Saizo slowly approached him. "But I must admit… I underestimated the influence you had over the good half of this body. I should have done more to snuff out the light… Oh well… I won't make the same mistake twice." Saizo finished as he lifted Dragon up by the throat again.
"You already have…" Dragon whispered as he suddenly bear hugged Saizo close. He leaped into the air as a flap of his golden wings sent them soaring skywards. Saizo could feel the energy begin to gather with Dragon as he struggled to break his grasp. Saizo knew exactly what he was going to do… "I will see you in hell, Saizo!"
However, Saizo unleashed an explosion of energy that knocked Dragon backwards and his own wings kept him flying. "You will not destroy me so easily!" Saizo hissed as he hurled an energy ball, but Dragon slapped it away and summoned his Naganata. The Gold and Black Dragon's clashed in midair as Harudaafang met the Naganata blade in a struggle for power. Despite Dragon's already immense strength, Saizo easily began to overpower and push him back. Using his agility instead, Dragon spun, letting Saizo slide by and drove an elbow into the back of the Black Dragon's neck.
Yet… it did nothing to him. Saizo easily shrugged off the blow and turned, nearly cleaving Dragon in half with one simple, clean stroke of Harudaafang. Sparks and bursts of flames popped off Dragon's suit as he spun away, clutching and clawing madly at his chest. Saizo rushed forward again with the killing strike, but Dragon quickly jetted upwards as the slash passed harmlessly below. Whirling around, he fired a beam of golden energy that took shape of a massive golden claw and wrapped around Saizo. Dragon yanked his arm back as the Golden Construct pulled Saizo into his grasp once more.
"We die together!" Dragon hissed as his wings folded around Saizo and several Golden Hands held the Black Dragon close. "Your reign of terror ends here…"
But at the last second, he noticed streaks of coloured energy beam down from the sky and reveal the Time Force and Dino Thunder Rangers. But it was too late to change his course… the ground had already met them. "No! NO!" Dragon cried and let out a sharp cry… as dome of golden energy enveloped them all. The Rangers gasped and shielded themselves as a massive explosion ripped through the streets, leveling the city blocks in one single attack. An earthquake expanded out from the epicenter of the explosion and began to shake remained of the city… to the ground.
One and for all, Reefside was finished. Tens of thousands of people were long dead, and tens of thousands having fled for their lives. Homes were reduced to cinders or piles of broken wood and debris from the earthquake and many explosions that attacked the city.
"What the hell?" Conner shouted as he looked at the smoking crater. "Was that Hayden?" He looked over at Kira who met his gaze. "But… he's dead…"
"He is now…" Everyone took stances as a figure began to stomp out of the crater. At first, it was a simple black silhouette… but it grew darker and taller with each step until… Saizo burst through the cloud, blood oozing from wounds. His body was starting to shift and change, growing bigger and stronger. His draconic wings seemed to sharpen at the tips and the once flimsy membrane thickened and became razor sharp at the tips. His body, covered in sickly blue-green blood was pulsing with dark energies as his muscles grew taught and enlarged to twice their size. True claws grew out of his hands as they twitched and curled. He had taken on much more of a Draconic appearance then before. "You know… If he hadn't been worried about protecting you… he just might've been able to destroy me…" Saizo laughed and slashed his hand out as his right wing followed the movements.
The rangers split apart as the wing slashed by and Conner found himself face to face with the Dragon. He managed to block Saizo's first punch but a brutal uppercut lifted him into the sky. Even as he arched backwards, Saizo turned and slashed Alex with his wing, spraying sparks everywhere, and batted him into the ground with a vicious overhand hammer strike.
Cassidy and Katie attacked next, ChronoSaber's drawn and striking. Even with Harudaafang gone, Saizo deflected the blows with his durable wing and blasted them away with a powerful slash of his wing. As they struggled to regain their balance, Saizo gashed them twice across the chest with his claws and wings before unleashing a powerful shockwave that hurled them away, tumbling head over heels and smashing into the ground with a sickening thud.
"Rawrgh!" Saizo gasped as he unleashed a powerful mouth cannon that struck the downed Time Rangers and blew them even further away. Ranger Energy failing them, they laid in the rubble, battered, bruised and beaten.
Lucas attacked neck, slicing Saizo twice across the back, exciting roars and snarls from him… but did little more than piss him off. Saizo whirled around and backhanded Lucas hard across the face and then slashed him with his razor sharp claws. Lucas fell to the ground and rolled away before summoning his V Weapon and fired several shots. To his horror, Saizo stomped straight through each shot, brought a hand to his mouth and fired a beam of dark energy. Lucas's cry echoed through the city as small explosions popped along his body before falling back, Ranger Energy leaving him.
"Lucas!" Trip shouted as he snarled as focused upon Saizo. The Dragon let out a deafening roar as he turned… but felt a powerful Psychokinetic Wave crash into his mind and body, driving him backwards. Trip's clawed hands clenched as blood trickled from his nose and eyes as he fired off another Wave. For poor Trip, Saizo roared again and summoned a barrier. The Wave reflected back and hit Trip with such force… several blood vessels burst his head and face as he fell backwards. Ranger Energy leaving him, Trip's face was bloody and puffy from the attack.
Saizo whirled around on the remaining Rangers with a frightening roar as energy sparked around his body. All the remained were the Dino Thunder Rangers, Andros, Ashley and Alex. Slowly, they began to spread out and drawing their respective weapons as Saizo watched them. Suddenly, he flashed towards a Ranger at Random and punched Ashley square in the chest. She went flying backwards through the air and skidding along the ground, but Andros quickly moved to avenge her. He attacked furiously with his Spiral Saber, slashing Saizo several times across the chest and face, but he caught the Spiral Saber blade, punched Andros in the stomach and unleashed a sizzling bolt of lightning into his chest at point blank range. Blasted backwards, he hit a massive chunk of cement and rolled to the ground.
Alex took Andros' place and attacked with a flurry of punches and kicks. Each fought home to Saizo's body, but he barely seemed to feel them. Saizo slashed him across the chest and blocked a counter roundhouse kick then punched him in the stomach. Alex staggered back but caught Saizo's hand before it could slash him, but the Dragon's overwhelming strength drew Alex into a bone crushing bear hug as he let out a deafening cry. Somehow, Alex managed to wiggle free, but Saizo slashed him across the back several times before he lashed out and sank his razor sharp fangs into Alex's shoulder.
"NYAAUUGGHHH!" Alex screamed, tears running down his face before Saizo began to hack and slash his body relentlessly. He put the Red Time Force Ranger down for good with a point-blank Mouth Laser Blast. He hit the ground with a painful thud as the Ranger Energy left him…
Several laser bolts splattered against Saizo's back as he finally let out a small painful grunt and turned to see Ashley and Andros standing there, blasters drawn. They rushed forward and with mirrored spinning axe kicks but Saizo caught their legs and used his mighty wings to bash out their other legs. As they dangled precariously now, Saizo turned and hurled them across the street into another pile of rubble.
"Dino Energy Orb!" Jason called, circled his staff and hurled the ball, but Saizo caught it… and tossed it right back. At the last second, Sierra leaped in the way and used her Cleaver Sword to swat it back. The Dragon let out a painful grunt as he staggered back, but unleashed another mouth beam. The explosions threw them to the ground as Kira unleashed a Ptera Scream. Saizo roared and clutched his ears before he summoned an energy ball and hurled it at Kira. She dodge rolled away and fired several shots with her Thundermax Blaster, but Saizo's wings protected his body and deflected the bolts. He suddenly surged forward and shoulder bashed her several feet away and into the ground.
"Laser Arrows!" Trent called as he slashed his DragoSword and fired them. They splashed against Saizo's body, drawing another grunt from him, but suddenly punched the ground. He split the ground open and the Earth swallowed Trent up, pinning him beneath heavy blocks of asphalt and dirt.
Saizo let out a painful roar as Conner unleashed a fireball from the mouth of his Staff. It seared away skin along Saizo's back as he whirled around hurled an energy ball. Conner batted away with an expert spin of his staff and leaped through the air at the Dragon. He caught him and turned, guiding Conner over top him and into a car before firing another energy ball. It hit the car and blew it to pieces as Conner was throwing away from the impact.
"D-Damn it…" Saizo hissed as he looked down at the blood on his hand. "D-Did that blasted Dragon d-do more damage than I thought…?"
He looked up to see Sierra leaping through the air and bringing her Cleaver Sword with her. It slashed across Saizo's body, gashing his skin open again before she clutched the sword tightly with both hands and slashed him across the chest. Slipping behind him, she turned and slashed a final time and gashing open his back again, this one deep then before. Saizo staggered forward and fell to one knee as he felt his anger beginning to swirl.
"This… cannot…will not… HAPPEN!" Saizo screamed and roared to the sky as a dome of dark energy swirled around him, repelling all those who came near. His body began to transform again, slowly starting to become that of a dragon with razor sharp spikes protruding from his body. His eyes were glowing an eerie purple as he punched a hole in the ground. "TOO ME MY GENERALS!"
All around him appeared his remaining Generals: Mesogog stood before Sierra, smashing a fist into his hand; Goldar stood in front of Jason, brandishing his Grifocaliber IV threateningly; Scorpina appeared before Kira with her bladed Boomer Rang with an evil little grin; Zeltrax stood before Conner, sharpening his Jade Sword with his own glove; Vexacus was tapping one blaster pistol against his shoulder and the other at his waist as he grinned at Ethan. And for Trent, a special General was summoned for him: The White Terrorsaurus roared angrily as its body bristled with energy.
All at once… the Generals leaped.
