Chapter 2: Assemble! The Mighty Storm Sentai!

-Hagakure Village-

The tension had not been this high since the Emperor's first assault on StormBlade Isle. Just like back then he had gone into overdrive, destroying everything he could in sight. Even with all the warriors and their parents down, Kazu, Naoki, Blaze, Aqua & Yuma did not give up the fight. After some much needed prodding and soul searching, the group had finally took up there weapons and stood their ground in the clearing of Radiant Gardens. With nobody else to face the Shadiranu, it was up to them to turn the tide of the battle and save the few that remained.

"So which one of you creeps is in charge around here?" Aqua's tone as well as her tounge were sharp while addressing the so-called 'bad guys' before her.

"Who the hell are you?" Prince Satoshi wondered. He took in the sight of the five teens, unlike the others they were dressed in strange clothing reminiscent of earth realm. While they certainly weren't much to look at, his eyes became drawn to the individual StormBlades that each on carried. Once identified he looked at his father for confirmation. "Father are those-."

Kagami snorted loudly, cutting off the emperor before he could speak "Those lot have the StormBlades!"

"Count again, they only have five." Solaro corrected.

"So these are the big bads threatening humanity." Blaze scoffed. "They don't look like much, just a buncha cheap cosplayers if you ask me."

"I agree their quite feverent." Naoki added

"Bunca meanies don't you know hurting people is just wrong!" Yuma quipped

"They know they just don't care Yuma." Kazu corrected. "Good thing were here to kick their asses!"

"Why do you waste my time, pitful humans?" Emperor Taoshi stared down the five warriors, not sure of what to think of them. On one hand they had guts for standing up to him when all the others failed, on the other they were foolish for challenging him. If they knew what he was capable of they would hand over the StormBlades and beg for his favor.

Perhaps they were ignorant to what he could do?

No matter, even in ignorance he would still destroy them all.

"Father they are wasting our time, let us send them to hell!" Prince Satoshi adviced

"Excellent Idea my son!" He commented. "Remless Sukeru, teach these children the meaning of the word pain!"

"Excellent Idea my Emperor!" On his leaders command Sukeru and squadrons of Raptor Imps slowly started arching there way toward the group. The five teens stood back to back for protection as the enemies encircled all around them.

"Ok so were standing with all these freaks near us, now what?" Aqua questioned

"Madam Sora said we need to focus on each other, once we do that were home free."

"Could she be more vague!"

"Lets just do it!"

Leaning on Madam Sora's words the five warriors extended their swords in an offensive position as they're thoughts turned to one another. While they hated being back home and being forced to interact with their family, what made it better was that they were all together. Since their youth they had been together, struggling with abonnement, homelessness and where they fit in the world. If the five had not stuck together, they would have been lost forever.

This togetherness bonded them for life and in this moment it caused the StormBlades to react as each one glowed with a different color. The power of light cascaded from the tips of the swords as it brought forth five yoyo's into each of their hands. Unlike ordinary Yoyo's, these words large and heavy in weight. The Yoyo's color consisted of Red, Blue, Silver, Orange, Pink and had a large star button upon it's face.

Once the Yoyo's were saftley in their hands, the group nodded toward each other in union as they knew what they had too do. They had unlocked the powers of the Yoyo's like the Madam said, now it was time to test them.

"Everyone, lets go!" Kazu called out

"Right!" "Right!" Blaze, Naoki, Aqua, and Yuma yelled together in unification.

"Stardust Rush!"

Once they had unlocked the power of the StormBlades, it seemed like the knowledge just flowed into them. It was as if they knew how to do this their entire lives. After shouting the phrase 'Stardust Rush', each of the five warriors put a single finger in the rope of the yoyo before unleashing it. Like the swords, the yoyo's glowed with their respective colors as they began to unleash the power within them.

-Henshin Sequence-

After unleashing the Yoyo, it leaves the hand of each of the five members and begins spinning around them in a circular direction. While spinning the Yoyo works it's way from their feet all the way to the neck area coating them in their colored armor. Once half the armor is complete, the Yoyo spins above them, generating a helment which soon falls neatly on their heads.

-End of Henshin Sequence-

"The Swordsman of Mighty Telekinesis, ChimeraRed!" Kazu's Ranger armor was sparkling red and ran throughout his entire body. The armor had black boots and gloves with a circular black belt with a Sele crest on it. Attached to the belt was a long sheath for his StormBlade. Across the chest of the armor was a sash with a circular golden symbol of the StormBlade on it. The Helment of his ranger armor was like the color of the suit, it's entire frame was modeled after a Chimera.

"The Swordsman of Unyielding Frost, DragonBlue!" Aqua's Ranger armor was sparkling blue and ran throughout her entire body. Her armor had black boots and gloves with a circular black belt with a Zena crest on it. Like Kazu attached to her belt was a long sheath for her StormBlade. Across the chest of the armor, was a sash with a circular golden symbol of the StormBlade on it. The Helmet of her ranger armor was like the color of the suit, it's entire frame was modeled after a Dragon.

"The Swordsman of Shinobi Smoke, SphinxSilver!" Naoki's Ranger armor was sparkiling silver and ran throughout his entire body. His armor had black boots and gloves with a circular black belt with a Canry crest on it. Like the others he had a sheath attached to his belt. Across the chest of the armor, was a sash with a circular golden symbol of the StormBlade on it. The Helmet of her ranger armor was like the color of the suit, it's entire frame was modeled after a Dragon.

"The Swordsman of Fatal Hellfire, PhoenixOrange!" Naoki's Ranger armor was sparkling Orange and ran throughout his entire body. His armor had black boots and gloves with a circular black belt with a Pyru crest on it. Like the others he had a sheath attached to his belt. Across the chest of the armor, was a sash with a circular golden symbol of the StormBlade on it. The Helmet his ranger armor was like the color of the suit, it's entire frame was modeled after a Phoenix.

"The Swordsman of Vengeful Lightning, HarpyPink!" Yuma's Ranger armor was sparkling Pink and ran throughout her entire body. Her armor had black boots and gloves with a circular black belt with a Argus crest on it. Like the others she had a sheath attached to her belt. Across the chest of the armor, was a sash with a circular golden symbol of the StormBlade on it. The Helmet her ranger armor was like the color of the suit, it's entire frame was modeled after a Harpy.

"The Allure of Justice strikes like our blades!" The five transformed rangers announced in union before they twirled their swords in a fancy fashion. "Arashi Sentai Ikariranger!"

Even in dog form Madam Sora's face was one of joy as she watched her once students transform for the first time. Seeing them display the power of StormBlade, brought tremendous pride after everything that had happened in the last 13,000 years.

"They actually did it!" A stunned Ryuusuke murmured to nobody as he, his council members and the other villagers were mesmerized by the group. Never in anyone's lifetime did they think that Kazu and the others would be able to unlock the powers that Lord Kurama left in the blades.

"Ikarirangers!" Besides speaking the name of the group, Emperor Taoshi had nothing to say about the matter. His fists were curled into tight balls, his nostrils flailed like a mad bull and his teeth were clenched tight. How dare these interlopers claim the power that was so rightfully his. The power of those swords was supposed to inhabit his forces, and now it was in the hands of those useless children.

"Father-." Prince Satoshi tried to get his fathers attention, seeing the pissed off look on his face.

"Remless Sukeru, destroy them!" The Emperor commanded, and the Remless alongside the Raptor Imps followed suit once again charging at the Ikarirangers.

"Everyone lets take them down!"

The Ikarirangers were all set for their first battle, they followed suit in charging with their swords open and engaged the enemy head on. Each of the Ikarirangers followed a perfect battle stratergy which included sectioning off the enemy so they could pick them off easy. As they fought the Shadiranu members watched closely as did the villagers, each side eager to see the outcome of this fierce fight.

PhoenixOrange was the first one to section off his enemies from the rest of the group. Like a circe de sol acrobat he backflipped in a forward direction away from the imps , who were attempt to cut him with their dagger blades. After a solid ninth flip, PhoenixOrange jumped up high in the air and spun his body like a top with his sword extended. He called upon his powers of hellfire while lighting the steel with the element. As he came down, the fire burned fiercely as he began slashing the footsoldiers left and right with accurate precision.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" While PhoenixOrange was a natural with his sword abilities, SphinxSilver was not. Even with the ranger armor on, he didn't know how to fight back. Unlike his friends, he was not versed in the ways of fighting, instead he was more of a peacekeeper. That didn't matter to the Ratptor Imps however, they just insisted on swarming him in their fierce numbers.

"Damn Naoki, don't you know anything?" PhoenixOrange called out. He may have been cutting his way through the Imps , but that didn't stop him from seeing his friend in trouble. "Use your StormBlade man!"

"My StormBlade!" After SphinxSilver dodged the daggers of the footsoldiers once more, his brain began to react when his comrade mentioned the StormBlade. Looking down near his belt, he suddenly got an idea as he grabbed his sheath and put his Blade on the inside. Once the Blade touched the inside of the sheath, his weapon magically transformed into a long-range rifle like weapon.

"What the hell?"PhoenixOrange was buffudled by the sudden appearance of the weapon. Naoki's brain power had done it again, even though he was a horrible fighter his knowledge figured out how to turn that close range weapon into a long one.

"Storm Sniper!" SphinxSilver cried out proudly as he pointed the weapon at his enemies. Repeatedly tapping on the trigger, SphinxSilver unleashed hell as his weapon fired pointed laser shots which blasted back multiple Imps.

DragonBlue was left to defend herself as a small squadron of Imps cornered her near the broken gates of the village. As they advanced upon her, she prepared to show them why she was once named best warrior in the village. With a thrust of her StormBlade, she stabbed a single Imp in it's head killing it instantly. After that she withdrew the sword and swung it in the atmosphere like a boomerang. Her next action was to extend her hands and unleash her freezing powers upon them, turning them into complete ice sculptures. It was serendipity that her blade was still in the air, and like a boomerang it came back to her while cutting through the frozen blocks of ice in the process.

"This is soo awesome!" HarpyPink was like a child playing with a new toy. With her Blade in hand, she found herself, bouncing back and fourth delivering numerous slashes to the Imps that came near her. The soldiers couldn't keep up with her as she gracefully avoided their advances.

"Your having way to much fun with this Yuma!" DragonBlue montonly commented as she watched her hop about like a rabbit.

"I can't help it's like such a rush!" Like the young schoolgirl she was HarpyPink hopped in a springlike motion, unable to contain herself. DragonBlue tilted her head in confusion as she saw the lightning sparks illuminate from her friends body.

"Woah, calm down!"

"I can't help it, so much energy, energy, energy!" As Pink said, she couldn't contain her lighting energy and before she knew it her body morphed into a sparkling lightning ball. In this new form she sprung at the Imps like a pin ball, knocking them over and causing others to explode with her lightning power.

ChimeraRed was the last member of the group to heavily engage the footsoldiers. With their fangs bared and daggers out the Raptor Imps pounced upon him, pinning him toward a nearby tree.

"Eww dudes, ever heard of a breath mint!" He exclaimed as the Imps howled with their teeth close to his armor.

"Need some help over there Kazu?" DragonBlue wondered.

"Nah I got it!" With a sudden burst of strength, ChimeraRed thrusted his blade, knocking the Imps away from him and onto the ground. Once freed, Kazu jumped at the warriors delivering ninja like slashes which sent a good chunk of the Imps over the Islands edge and into the sea below.

He wasn't done there, however, he soon focused his attention on the remaining Imps that were still attacking his friends. Concentrating hard with his StormBlade he used his telekinetic powers to draw all of the Raptor Imps toward each over, almost like moths to a flame.

The four other rangers took notice of ChrimeraRed's plan and followed his cue. Charging at the now stuck Raptor Imps the Ikarirangers withered away at them with there Blades. The Raptor Imps made loud shrikes and noises as they were mercissly attacked by the rangers, these attacks would go on until the impact would cause the Imps to explode into nothing.

"Damn you Ikarirangers!" Remless Sukeru shouted

"What's that?" HarpyPink questioned as the Remless approached them.

"It appears to be a humanoid endoskeleton." SphinxSilver deduced.

"You damn interlopers, I am Remless Sukeru, nightmare servant to the great Emperor Taoshi!"

"Remless?"

"It means lack of sleep in dream terms."

"Well whatever you are, either stand aside of get dusted!"

"Very well then, If you won't submit then die!" Remless Sukeru bellowed while shooting numerous shots of dark energy balls. The Ikarirangers stood at attention, slicing the balls as they came near them rendering them harmless.

"My turn!" ChimeraRed shouted as he ran at the Remless. Once near him the ranger sent a swift but hard kick to the Remless's knee, causing him to stumble. While Sukeru was down, ChimeraRed slashed the sword out of his hand before proceeding to land choice attacks across his torso and arms.

Remless Sukeru was at ChimeraRed's mercy as he kept his assault ongoing, cutting deep into the bones on the monster. After a total of fifteen slashes were landed, he held his sword tight as he slashed Sukeru's neck and decapitating him.

"Damn you Ikarirangers!" Sukeru cursed the rangers name as his head was blow across the battlefield. Without the head attached, his torso once again separated and spread bones as far as the eye can see.

"You really should Bone-up on your swordplay Sukeru." He laughed. "Get it bone up, cause your like a skeleton."

"This isn't the time for cornball jokes Kazu!" PhoenixOrange scolded,

"Yeah lets finish him already!" Dragon Blue urged

"You fools can't finish me, I'm powered by the mighty Emperor Taoshi!" Remless Sukeru laughed from his decapitated head which was nearby.

The IkariRangers were so caught up in the battle they failed to notice that Sukeru's bones were starting to reform with his torso, within just a few seconds they would have to face him at full skeleton form again.

"He's pulling himself together!" HarpyPink exclaimed.

"We have to destroy the head, that seems to be the only way!"

"You heard him guys, lets finish this!"

The five swordsmen found themselves sheathing their blades to create their Storm Snipers. Once all five Storm Snipers were out, the IkariRangers aimed them at Sukeru's head as they each charged with their respective tribe colors and energies.

"Prism Crusher!" The Rangers called out as their weapons finished charging. After clicking the fire button, each of the Snipers unleashed powerful beams which combined to create a giant multicolored Star. The Star colided with Sukeru's head with massive impact before exploding with waves of their magical energy. Sukeru gave one last farwell scream as the attack blew his head to nothingness. Once his head was destroyed, Sukeru's bone torso exploded also but left a large pile of black sand behind.

Each of the Shadiranu members exchanged worrisome looks as the situation finally became reality, the IkariRangers had defeated the Remless. One of the most powerful creatures in existence, a being made from pure nightmares and darkness was defeated by these inferior beings. Such a defeat brought shame to the generals of Shadiranu and enraged the Emperor.

"Such absurdity!" General Kagami cried. The invasion and decimation of the StormBladers was almost complete, had it not been for these five they would have one for sure.

"Father what do we do now?" Prince Satoshi inquired as he looked to his father for guidance.

"Ashrah." He growled.

"Yes Emperor Taoshi!"

"He's your creation, do something!"

"Right away Emperor, I've got just the thing!" On the Emperor's orders Ashrah transported herself to the battlefield where the IkariRangers were at.

"Did you come to surrender?" DragonBlue asked. "It would be smart if you did."

"Unless you want to end up like mr bones over there." PhoenixOrange added.

"You insolent brats, I'll make you eat those words!"

Ashrah set her sights on the small pile of ash that was left over from the Remless's destruction. With a wave of her hand, the girl generated two small items and brought them forward so her enemies could see. In her left hand, a cyan colored stone and in her right a violin with a fiddle.

The IkariRangers prepared themselves as they thought Ashrah was going to declare some sort of attack. Ashrah did not attack, however, all the girl did was throw the cyan stone onto the ground which collided with the black sand.

"With shadow powers from Shadi Kin, let this nightmare arise by my violin!"

After utter the rhyming phrase Ashrah closed her eyes slightly as she used the fiddle to aggressively strum her violin. The sound that left the instrument was screechy, like nails on a chalk board, or a opera woman singing. Needles to say the sound was horrifying to the ears of those that heard it.

"What the hell?" The Ikarirangers held their ears in dismay as the girl played the tune.

"Ugh thats so awful!" HarpyPink screamed.

"Guys look!"

The true reason to Ashrah's violin playing became clear to the IkariRangers as they watched the cyan stone next to the sand. As Ashrah played that loud nasty tune, the stone had suddenly levitated in the air while leaking drops of water. The faster she played the more water came out of the stone, this continued until water had completely soaked the area around the sand.

That wasn't the horrifying part however. The IkariRangers noticed that as the water was sprayed, the black sand started to rise in the air. When enough water was sprayed the black sand spread outward to the very sky and constructed a skyscraper sized version of Remless Sukeru.

"Thank you Ashrah!" Was the Remless's call as it suddenly came back to life in this new form.

"No way that's cheating!"

"H-h-he's a-a- g-g-giant." PhoenixOrange studered, unable to grasp how she turned that pile of ash into a new creature.

"Remless Sukeru finish the StormBladers!" Was the Emperor's final words as he and his troops withdrew from the battle, vanishing as a result.

The Remless didn't waste anytime causing as much mischevious as possible. He stomped on the earth isle causing the entire village to shake violently. The Ikarirangers hid for cover as Sukeru swung his sword throught the atmosphere, decapitating trees and kicking up dirt from the ground.

"How do we even fight that thing?" ChimeraRed wondered. Now that he wasn't normal size, they weren't even sure of how they were going to destroy him.

"Die Ikarirangers!" Sukeru opened his skull as massive dark energy balls exploded from within it.

The Ikarirangers were helpless in the situation before them now, as the energy balls came closer to them all they could do was huddle together for support. Defeating Sukeru in normal form was easy, but him in giant mode was going to prove to much for them.

As the dark energy came closer to them, the IkariRangers expected the worse, but their deaths would not come to fruition. The attacks harmlessly deflected off of them and back at Sukeru, knocking him over with a loud 'thud'. The IkariRangers were sure they were goners, but were surprised to learn that once again their StormBlades were glowing fiercely with their tribe energies.

The StormBlades were coming to their owners defense against the giant. To do so each blade began to infiltrate the minds of the IkariRangers, showing them familar images of creatures that were known to the tribes. For Kazu it was the Chimera, Naoki the Sphinx, Aqua the Dragon, Blaze the Phoenix and Yuma the Harpy.

The Spirit Beasts like the IkariRangers were now awakening in their souls, showing them the power that was needed to defeat the Remless. Without warning ChimeraRed suddenly leaped up into the sky at Sukeru with his Blade held tightly and aiming at him.

"Chimera Blade! Psychic Strike!" As ChimeraRed's body was flung at the Remless, he willed his telekentic powers to react. Remless Sukeru tried to fight against the warrior but couldn't and felt his body contort on his own. With full force of his powers ChimeraRed forced Sukeru to extend his neck out. Like a speeding torpedo he sliced through Sukeru's bones once again separating his head from his torso.

"Sphinx Blade! Dust Storm!"

"Harpy Blade! Feather Bolts!"

SphinxSilver & HarpyPink were the next ones to attack. From their swords they unleashed a tornado of smoke and bolts of lighting which mixed together in an unusual fashion. Sukeru cried out as the tornado came upon his torso and head while striking him multiple times.

"Dragon Blade! Frost Torrent!"DragonBlue was next. She aimed her Blade at Sukeru's torso and head while unleashing a blast of ice which encased his body in total frost.

"Phoenix Blade! Lava Flash!"PhoenixOrange was set to deliver the final blow against the Remless. Springing up high like a jackrabbit, he slashed downward upon Sukeru's body which soon became engulfed an a hellish lava.

"Damn you IkariRangers!" Was Remless Sukeru's final words before his body exploded from the attacks he had received.

The moment that Sukeru went down in destruction, the IkariRangers de morphed and began celebrating amongst themselves. The entire village soon joined them and began to express their appreciation for saving the village. Madam Sora merely nodded in pleasure watching her students try to grasp the fact that they were apart of something bigger.

-Amagi Castle-

-War Room-

While the five IkariRangers were celebrating their first victory as a team, the Amagi castle was the latest hotspot for rage. Emperor Taoshi sat on his throne silently huffing to himself while the rest of his members were arguing unsensible like they usually do.

"Everyone calm down, this fighting isn't getting us anywhere." Solaro softly spoke trying to get everyone to calm down, but his words were drowned out by the shouting among his peers.

"This is all your fault Ashrah!" Kagami spat while pointing an accusatory finger at the witch, who hid behind Kintaga to escape her venom filled rant. "Your magic failed us. Sukeru should have been powerful enough in that giant form the kill them!"

"Don't blame me, Satoshi's the one who picked the Remless card!" She whined

"How dare you accuse me of faliure witch, I'm royalty here!"

"She is correct Satoshi!" Kintaga remarked. "Sukeru was so weak he couldn't handle those children!"

"Silence all of you!" Emperor Taoshi suddenly shouted in rage as he pounded his fist on his throne. Satoshi, Solaro, Kintaga , Ashrah and Kagami immediately ceased there arguments and bowed before him. They had been humiliated, and the last thing he wanted to hear was there useless prattling.

"Father." Prince Satoshi vocalised sheepishly. "What is your will of us?"

"For starters stop looking so dejected." He said as he finally calmed his anger. "This is a minor setback, nothing we need to worry about."

"But Father the Ikarirangers they-."

"The Ikarirangers are a bunch of inexperienced children, who we will destroy and rip the StormBlades from their corpses!" He beckoned with force. "They may have won today, but I guarantee you we shall be victorious, the StormBlade and the world shall be ours!" Emperor Taoshi's eyes glowed a bright blood red color as he spoke with his determined goal. So they had stopped his plans so what, they had hundreds of more warriors at their disposal alongside more force that wasn't even untapped. In Emperor Taoshi's eyes, the fun was just beginning.

-Hagakure Village-

The StormBlade Tribes had suffered much in 13,000 years and today was no exception. With the Shadiranu attacking they had sustained more damage then they ever thought they would have too. The entire village was in ruins, most of their homes and societal structure was now up in flames. There was a somber aura that coated the village as it wasn't just the buildings they lost, just like in the past many StormBladers had been slain. Villagers fished bodies out of the river while others picked up the hacked remains of their loved ones, symbolizing once again how much the Shadiranu took from them. For some the scene reminded them of the first time StormBlade Isle fell, for others is was just a constant reminder of the persecution they would receive as long Emperor Taoshi and his tribe were alive.

As the villagers were processing how they would once again rebuild, the Ikarirangers sat near Mystic Tower watching a roaring fire that Blaze lit himself.

"This has been a helluva day man, still can't believe everything that happened!" Blaze sighed as he inhaled a puff of his cigarette he secretly kept in his pants. Fighting with that armor and sword may have been adventurous but it was also exhausting. Like they had deduced before, this warrior business was going to definitely interfere with their personal lives.

"I've never felt anything like that in my life." Naoki responded. "I guess we really are the StormBlades chosen warriors!"

"Does that mean we have to face those meanies again?" Yuma implored.

"Don't be naive Yuma!" Aqua scolded with a eye roll. "Emperor Taoshi will obviously come back."

Being the ever most optimist Kazu got to his feet and began swinging his sword around wildly as if he were fighting another monster. "I hope he does come back, I'm ready to take them all down with my Chimera Blade!"

"That's the spirit Kazu!" The groups conversation was interrupted by Madam Sora. In her dog form she hobbled over toward the five while wagging her tail in an excited fashion. Being a dog had not kept her from her duties, and she did her best to still give out wisdom & hope to her brethren. " "Your Ikarirangers now, you'll need that momentum if your going to defeat the Shadiranu!"

"What about you Madam Sora, how do we turn you back to normal?"

"Unfortunately until I get my hands on Ashrah I'm stuck like this, I'll still be able to help you with some of my magic, though."

"What about the village?"

"Even without the magic gate, well have to rebuild and move on just like we did 13,000 years ago."

"Besides rebuilding, I guess we need to train as well." Blaze replied. "I don't know about you guys, but my back aches from all that fighting."

"We can train tomorrow." Aqua said. "For now lets get out of this village and go back to Tokyo!"

"Right Aqua lets go gang!"

"Where do you think your going? The groups moment was once again interrupted by outside forces.

Incoming toward the group was Ryuusuke followed by all the parents of the Ikarirangers and then a dozen or more tribesmen.

"Dad." Kazu called out as his father came upon him. Since the battle against the Remless, the parents of the Ikarirangers went silent. They had retreated to an unknown section of the village to discuss 'certain' matters, now that they were back however perhaps they would share what was so private, maybe even come to there senses. "What's the problem now?"

A harsh silence fell over the concil as they found themselves unable to speak. The Ikarirangers parents had emotionless expressions as they stared down their offspring. Madam Sora was even baffled about the sudden silence. Even though they had lost their village, they now had saviors to fight and win the battle. This was a joyous occasion, so why were they so quiet?

"Who died?" Blaze questioned, his thoughts bewildered toward the sudden change of emotion.

"Mom, dad." Yuma looked at her parents for answers but was still met with silence before all parties present turned their attention to Ryuusuke.

"For starters against our better judgment, we'd like to thank you for saving our village, had it not been for the five of you we would surely have died." Ryuusuke started. "While we are grateful, we ask that the five of you hand over the StormBlades immediately."

"What?"

"No way!"

The IkariRangers huddled together while exchanging confused looks. They had just defeated the Remless and saved them all, yet they still didn't think they were worthy to carry on the mantel. Their own parents were once again enforcing there beliefs as well as there outdated opinions on them

"What is the meaning of this Ryuusuke?" Madam Sora inquired angrily. "I already told you they are the chosen ones destined to stop the darkness."

"You violated village rules by bringing them here Sora, while they may have unlocked the powers they still are considered traitors in the eyes of the council."

"You can't possibly mean that?" Kazu questioned angrily. "First were brought here against our will, then we save your sorry asses and now you just expect us to give up our birthright."

"Those swords were your birthright when you obeyed StormBlade laws." He stated arrogantly. "Your mark of exile keeps you from legally becoming recognized as warriors by us."

"To hell with legality!" Aqua shot back

"This is your only warning, hand over the StormBlades and leave the village quietly!"

Kazu's fists were balled tensely as the veins in his neck throbbed. He couldn't believe that once again his father was acting like this. Was he really so prideful that he was going to keep carrying this grudge? After he put himself on the line to counter the threat, after unlocking the magic that they could not, even after all that they still wanted to treat him as a traitor.

Kazu's thoughts were soon interrupted as he felt a brush against his shoulders. On his right Naoki & Yuma, while on his left their was Aqua and Blaze. While they did fight alot as friends tend to do, this was one of those times were they were equally in union on their feelings.

"No." Kazu replied softly, his eyes full of determination as he stared down his father. "The StormBlades belong to us!"

"Don't be foolish Kazu, hand the Blades over!" His father urged.

"No!"

"Then prepare yourself for combat!" With a snap of his fingers, the tribesman and women suddenly mobilized as they surrounded the group. Each StormBlade tribe member had their own normal swords drawn out as they pointed them in a threatening manner.

The Ikarirangers stood back in the circle as the troops turned on them. This couldn't be happening, not again. They already had an enemy in the Shadiranu, but now their own people, their own parents were turning on them for the second time in there lives. They wanted the StormBlades and it seemed like they would do anything to retrieve them, even if it meant trying to slay them via battle.

As night soon fell, the Ikarangers were left to ponder a single thought.

What would they do now?

Also If you guys really wanna do me a favor, please leave a review or click on my profile and check out some of my other works. My other fanficions are in need of some love and if you guys can provide that it would make my day.

But anyway until next time

Arigato!
