Previously on Poké Rangers Relic Hunters…
To bring you up to speed, Urara becomes the Green Relic Hunter Ranger after the rangers find the Scepter Dagger, which is an Ancient Hoenn artifact. It was linked to the other artifacts in the Hoenn Region. The rangers also had the Sentinel Sword, which transforms into the Sentinel Knight and it unlocks powers beyond belief, specifically for Seb. Then, the Fire Heart has been awakened. Mewtra warned Rachel about it and due to her being the heir of the protector, she tried to keep the mission secret, well until the Ranger Slayers and Team Magma found it. Now, that they are using her life force, the Magma Bot destroyed all three Megazords. Cedric and the others were on the run for their life and headed toward the ocean, where they disappeared… and Lamar, sadly, may have been destroyed… or was he? Find out in Part 2!
Urara's eyes opened as she looked around. Soaking wet, she turned around as she saw white and black paneling with blue lights around it. She turned around as she saw Cedric, Seb, Zander and Grace, all unconscious. Urara carefully got up as she saw the black platform. Walking over, she nudged Seb, who woke up with a few cuts and bruises.
"It's me," said Urara.
Seb looked up as he smelled like the ocean, "So much for running to the sea. Where are we?"
The others also started to come around. Grace, Zander and Cedric looked up as they stepped off the platform. They saw grey and blue paneling as they saw black and gold blueprints. Turning around, the doors opened toward either side of the wall. A familiar face turned around as she walked toward them.
"Amy!" shouted Urara, walking toward her, "What is this?"
"There is much to explain… come on. Max is waiting on the bridge," said Amy.

Chapter 36: Draconian Rachel Part 2
The rangers turned around as they headed through the white and grey corridors. However, they were dimmed with red lights as the red lights were flashing back and forth. Grace looked around as she saw a window, seeing the ocean window.
"We're in a ship," said Grace, turning around.
"Nice," said Zander, "Max must've built this."
"Probably," said Cedric, looking at the corridor, "Damn, why even get a cruise ship when we can take this?"
The rangers walked up the black and grey stairs as they saw a whole command center. The rangers stood there in surprise as they saw black paneling across with electronic computer screens and chairs. In the center, there was a black and gold chair with two chairs in front with a silver control panel. Max turned around in the chair as he looked at them. The bridge also had the Relic Hunters compass logo.
"What in the world?" asked Seb, "Max?"
"Amy, thank you," he said.
"Not a problem. This is our gift to you," said Amy.
"A ship?" asked Seb.
Max grinned as he turned around, "Not just any ship. This is the Hunter Battleship. This was a project in the making, in case your zords were destroyed. Luckily, we used the Ship of Jirachi jewel to create the blueprints of the exact replica of the original ship from 10,000 years ago."
Seb turned around as he looked at it, "Well, this is pretty neat!"
Grace turned around as she looked at them, "Cool."
"Well… I can explain its functions later," said Max, "Right now, the Magma Fighters are still firing down."
Seb turned around as he looked at the team, "Well, shall we figure this out?"
As the team got on to certain stations, Max turned around as he looked at Seb, "I'll command this one, Seb. You drive."
Seb laughed as he sat down in front of him, taking the controls, "Yes, sir."
"Take us in," said Max, "Prepare to rise the ship."
A few seconds later…
"Cease fire!" Maxie shouted.
The Magma Fighters stopped firing as the waves were pummeled. Maxie laughed as he looked at the team. The Magma Bot looked forward as he turned around, noticing the smoke.
"It seems we killed them," said Tabitha.
"Cool," said Courtney, "It's about time too."
"Ha…," said Maxie, "But, we have fourteen zords we can use. Justen might be happy. Let's see if we can salvage them. Who knows what we can find!"
"Maxie!" shouted Courtney, looking at the radar, "There's a major blip on my screen… its heading straight toward us."
Maxie looked up as he saw the waves ripple. The waves went from rippling to erupt as they noticed a mega sized ship floating out of the ocean. It was a dark navy ship with pink and black stripes on the front with silver wheels in the water. On top, there was a black freighter that had silver bone like stripes that connected to a blue fighter jet with silver cannons attached to the bottom. A yellow bomber vehicle attached to the jet with black lightning stripes. On top, there was a red armored vehicle with flames on it.
"What is that thing?" asked Maxie.
Immediately, a screen popped open as Seb appeared, grinning.
"You survived!" he shouted.
"Introducing the Hunter Battleship… I hope you are ready for a battle, Max. Because I'm hungry to destroy some Team Magma for lunch," said Seb, turning off the communication signal.
"Magma Fighters, focus your attack on the ship!" shouted Maxie.
"Grace and Zander, target the Magma Fighters with the port blasters," said Max.
Immediately, turrets appeared around the Hunter Battleship. Each Magma Fighter was targeted as they were heading toward them.
"Fire!" shouted Max.
Pressing buttons, Bullet Seeds struck out as the Magma Fighters were hit by the attack. Explosions appeared, surrounding them. The Magma Fighters continued its onslaught as the rangers were hit. Max turned around as he looked at the screen.
"Seb, hard to port!" Max said, "Cedric, you should switch for aerial torpedoes."
"Torpedoes?" asked Cedric, looking over. Pressing a button, he looked on his screen as the top of the Battleship opened up, revealing a batch of 30 Sharpedo designed missiles, "Ooh…"
"They are heat seeking," said Max, "Target and fire away!"
Pressing a button, 30 Sharpedo rockets launched out as they matched the heat signatures of the Magma Fighers. Explosions surrounded them as the Magma Fighters crushed into each other. One hit the Magma Bot, causing minor damage.
"Damn," said Courtney, "That missile shaved off our armor by 10 percent."
Maxie looked up as he turned to the group, "Fall back."
"What?" asked Tabitha.
"We need to regroup," said Maxie, "Fall back."
Immediately, the Magma Bot started retreating away from the Hunter Battleship. Urara turned around as she was looking at the radar, "Maxie's robot is walking away."
"Good," said Max, turning around as he looked at them, "Stand Down, Code Red."
Immediately, the red lights turned off as the main lights turned back on. Seb turned around as he looked at the ship, "This battleship is amazing."
"Good," said Max, "We're going to have JT and Ray bring your zords back into the bay. We are in range to do so. Seb, let's dive our submarine to avoid anyone finding it."
"Right," said Seb. Pressing the button, the lights turned purple as they heard an annoying alarm.
Diving! Diving! Diving!
"Do you really need that on here?" asked Grace, covering her ears.
The Hunter Battleship sunk into the ocean, away from detection. As the Hunter Battleship was hanging around with the wild water Pokémon, the team headed downstairs as they walked into a conference room. Looking at the conference room, the rangers were amazed to see what they saw. The room was made of mahogany tree with blue panels to hold it in place. There was a black table made of obsidian with stainless steel chairs that surrounded the table. On the wall, there were pictures of the following Megazords: The Hoenn Megazord, Evolution Megazord, Ninja Megazord, Overtech Megazord, Turbo Megazord, Astro Megazord, Bandstand Megazord, Samurai Megazord, Heaven Force Megazord, Thundersaurus Rex Megazord, Mystic Titan Megazord and the Relic Hunter Megazord all in frames. Grace sat down as she noticed a familiar person sitting across. Jack grinned as he looked at them, the ocean was behind him as the rangers sat down.
"Welcome to the Battleship," said Jack.
"This is pretty cool," said Seb, "Since when were you going to tell us about this?'
"Well, it was perfect timing," said Jack, "This was actually a ship used for any Hoenn Ranger in case there was a mega duel. This ship can hold our whole entire Hoenn Ranger team."
"That's impressive," said Grace, "But, why do we have it?"
"Well, we figured you needed this," said Jack, "Especially after the damage report."
"What happened to our zords?" asked Zander, looking at the Mystic Titan Megazord, "I miss Vizirion."
"Sadly… your zords are going to take months to repair as a whole. The Magma Bot severely damaged every component, this also includes the tie to the morphing grid," said Jack, looking at the data on his palm pilot, "You have temporary damage to your powers. The Hunter Armor can't be engaged right now. The Morphin Grid has also some severed things that JT and Ray are going to have to look into. But, once we're back at Headquarters, we will be able to expedite the process."
"So… is there anything else we need to know?" Urara asked.
"Yes, well, you will learn in due time," said Jack, "Where's Lamar?"
"Lamar was last seen fighting the Ranger Slayers," said Seb, taking out his Relic Detector, "Lamar, come in!"
Suddenly, there was static on the other side. The rangers hovered over as they saw the screen disappear into a rocky coast. Lamar's face was shown. He was beaten up as he looked at them. Seeing the cuts and bruises on his face as well as a gash to the head, "Hey… I thought you were dead, seeing the zord damage."
"You don't look good either," said Seb, "Where are you?"
"Rachel has been taken captive by that thing. I have to try to disrupt the source. But, where are you?"
"It's a surprise for now. But, let's just say we are here. Let me know if you need help," said Seb.
"Got it," said Lamar, turning off the communications. Seb turned around as he looked at Jack. Jack looked at him, "I don't know if that was good idea, Seb."
"Well, right now, we can't do much right now," said Seb, turning around, "But, I would love to see a tour."
Max grinned as he looked at them, "Well, I will show you the way."
Meanwhile…
In the temple, Rachel and the Sentinel Knight stood there as she had her fingers on the Fire Heart. Her face was glistening in a red aura as her eyes were closed. She looked at the ground, knowing what she was seeing. The Sentinel Knight sat down on the floor as he began to channel energy. Grinning, Justen watched as he saw what was going on. The smile of things that were about to happen. Channeling all of the fire energy into the artifact was the best thing they could have done. It was easy and definitely worth all the time. As she began to keep her eyes closed, Maxie walked over as he looked at Justen. Justen grinned as he turned around.
"For an ex-Team Rocket member, you did good," said Maxie, "Granted now we have an issue."
"So, I heard," said Justen, looking at Maxie, "But, with your ideas and techniques, this should be a breeze."
"We hope," said Maxie, walking over, "What will happen to her?"
"The Fire Heart is a syphon of energy. Once all of the energy is sucked out of her, she will be vulnerable. We will execute her because she will have no strength to fight," said Justen.
"But magic is infinite," said Maxie, "You forgot."
"But humans have limits," he said, "Regardless of where you're from."
Maxie nodded as he looked at her, "I hope you are right."
Meanwhile….
Lamar was crawling on the ground as he was trying to head back to the cavern. Standing up, he winced as he was drifting back and forth. Grunting, he collapsed to his knees, landing on the ground, taking a breath. He looked at his fingers, seeing the blood run down.
"I need… to… keep moving," said Lamar, breathing.
Getting up, he carefully walked toward the mouth of the cavern. He took three huge deep breaths and proceeded down into the cavern. Walking into the cavern, he looked around with his Relic Detector, aiming it as a flashlight. He looked down as he saw Maxie's footprints. He didn't say a word as he kept silent. Sneaking in without any foot taps, he turned around as he saw a few Magma Grunts walking around. As they were turning around, looking at each other. He withdrew a Pokémon from his belt. Greninja snuck up behind him.
"Water Shuriken," whispered Lamar.
Immediately, Greninja released a few shurikens. As the Magma Grunts winced in pain a little, Lamar slashed the Magma Grunts with his Hunter Saber. Continuing through a corridor, he looked up to see the Magma Bot. He turned around, noticing the silver pipes connected to it. The magma was filling up the robot as he looked at the creature. Lamar had a feeling this was their secret base. He turned around as he went to make a right hand turn, only to setting an alarm. As the alarm started blaring, a few Magma Grunts landed on the ground to strike. Quickly, Lamar changed his blade to the Relic Blaster and started shooting them down. Gold beams pierced each one as he hid behind a few crates. The Magma Grunts released flame like bullets as they were hitting the side. Lamar turned around as he noticed two golden canisters. Quickly, Lamar pulled the blaster and aimed for the cannister. Pulling the trigger, a golden beam shot out as the can was pierced. An explosion occurred as the Magma Grunts were hit. Greninja turned around as he released more Water Shuriken, setting the Magma Grunts back as they appeared by another canister. Lamar put his Scope Shot next to his Relic Blaster, "Relic Sniper!"
Shooting a purple beam from the blaster, it pierced the canister as another explosion occurred. Immediately, he aimed again at the pipes. Piercing the pipe, he managed to create a dent in the pipe. He turned to Greninja, "Get to the pipe and start using Hydro Pump. We got to cut the power -."
Immediately, Lamar spun as he fell on the ground. As Greninja went to strike, Maxie grabbed Greninja by the neck and threw him on the ground. Greninja spun around as he fainted. Lamar turned around as he looked at Maxie, grumbling as Maxie started laughing.
"Oh ho ho ho! Look who decided to join the party… and nice try trying to sabotage my bot…" said Maxie.
Lamar said nothing as Maxie pressed his foot on Lamar's chest. Lamar cringed as Maxie grinned laughing, "Weak as usual… sucks for your friend…"
"What do you plan on doing with her?" asked Lamar.
"Seeing that you are not going to be alive when this over, I'll just be honest and to the point: She'll die helping us with the artifact," said Maxie.
Lamar looked up as he stared at Maxie's face. His eyes were full of evil and joy as he looked at Lamar. Lamar took a deep breath, "I will not let you do any more harm!"
Immediately, he grabbed Maxie's leg. As he tried to move it, Maxie laughed as he looked at him. He laughed so hard, he turned around, seeing a blue aura around him. Maxie looked to see a Suicune around Lamar, grabbing him by the leg. His boot started to freeze as he noticed an icicle. Maxie slipped as he fell on the ground, Lamar rolled over as he grabbed his Relic Detector, "Start Up!"
A black aura surrounded him as he transformed into his ranger suit. Maxie withdrew a red and black cannon that had a Camerupt design. He powered it up as magma bullets flew out. Lamar flew up as he did a shoulder roll. Using his Relic Sniper, a purple beam shot out as Maxie's blaster was hit. Falling on the ground, Lamar pulled the trigger multiple times, shooting Maxie. Maxie stumbled as he withdrew his saber. As his saber swung across, Lamar ducked as he transformed his Relic Sniper into the Hunter Saber. The battle was sword against sword as they were either on the offense or parrying every stroke. As Maxie went to strike over head, Lamar parried above his head. The swords clashed as Maxie stepped closer.
"You can't beat me alone, Lamar… especially with the power of Rayquazians," said Maxie.
"That you duplicated for your own personal gain," said Lamar, "You know eventually that's going to cost you."
"SHUT UP!" he shouted.
Meanwhile…
Back on the Battleship, the rangers walked on to the bridge as they turned to Max. Max grinned as he walked over to the screen, "And this is it."
"This beats the cruise ship," said Seb.
"Yeah, no… you aren't using this to travel on your journey," said Jack, looking at him.
"But…," said Seb, "I don't want to pay for a cruise ship."
"Well, we don't want Team Magma and Team Aqua or even the Slayers finding it," said Max, "So, it will stay at Ranger HQ."
"Got it," said Seb.
Suddenly, a beeping sound occurred on the bridge. Looking around, they were trying to figure it out. Urara walked over as she appeared to one of the wall stations. Sitting down, she saw a blue scanner as she put her eyes in it. A black radar screen showed up as a purple blip was used.
"Lamar's ranger signature is there. He is in…," said Urara.
"Can you get a visual of the battle footage?" asked Seb.
Urara looked at it, trying to adjust the dials, "The signal's very weak…"
Seb turned around as he noticed the main screen. The other rangers stood there in response as they were looking into Lamar's visor, seeing Maxie strike. They also noticed a fainted Greninja on the ground.
"Wonderful," said Seb, turning around, "Can you find the exact location and put it into our Relic Detectors?"
"Already transferred," said Urara, grinning.
"Excellent. Rangers, to your stations," said Seb.
As the rangers sat down in any station, Jack turned around as he looked at him, "Well, I guess better let you take the conn."
"Thanks," said Seb, sitting in the chair, "Zander, hard 180 degrees… we are going back."
Zander nodded as he turned around to look at the console, "Okay… if I can… oh."
Pressing a few buttons, the Battleship began to turn around. Seb turned to Grace as she looked at him, "I am guessing battle stations?"
"Yep… I don't know what will happen when we get there. Prepare to rise when we get close," said Seb.
Immediately, the main lights turned bright red as an alarm sounded. Urara turned around as she looked at him, "Seb, I am detecting a major resurgence of magma energy coming from that exact location."
"It seems they are taking Rachel to a whole new level," said Cedric.
"And I am not going to let them lay a finger. We are going to get her back!" Seb shouted.
As the ship started to rise out of the deep ocean, the Battleship started to drive on the island. As they were heading up to the mountain, Zander turned around as he looked at Seb, "This was not part of the plan… since when does this thing drive on land?"
"Nothing surprises me anymore," said Seb.
Suddenly, there was an explosion to the side. The Battleship shook as they slowed to a complete halt. Justen, Brent, Chloe and Celia looked up as they saw the Battleship.
"So…," said Justen, "You got a new vehicle…"
Seb turned to Grace, "I think its time we torture them a little bit. Pick a TM and go for it."
Grace grinned as she laughed, "Oh… my pleasure!"
She turned around as she pressed Gen 8: TM 50 on the screen, "Bullet Seed coming up."
As the side turret appeared on the Hunter Battleship's starboard side, a flare of seeds shot out as the Ranger Slayers were dodging each of the bullets. Taking cover, the sounds of explosions appeared around them as they were taking cover fire.
"Now…," said Grace, pressing a blue button. She saw a Gen 7: TM 22 on the screen, "Solarbeam!"
Pressing the button, the starboard and port side began to charge from their turrets as a green beam formed, shooting their cover. Explosions surrounded them as the Ranger Slayers flew to the ground. Within minutes, the Ranger Slayers managed to get up as they looked at them,
"Let's get into the Magma Bot," said Justen.
Suddenly, red beams shot out as the rangers stood on top of the Battleship.
"How do you like our new power, Justen?" asked Urara, "Now, step aside!"
"No way!" shouted Justen.
"We're not here for you. We're here to get Rachel back," said Zander.
Cedric nodded as he stretched his hand, "They all said it. Move!"
"Fat chance!" said Justen, "Let's go!"
Brent, Celia and Chloe nodded as they reached for their morphers, "Slayer Power, Unleash!"
Blue, Red, Yellow and Purple auras surrounded them as they transformed into their ranger suits. Seb withdrew his Relic Detector.
"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"
Flashes of red, blue, pink, silver and green appeared as they landed on the ground.
Meanwhile…
SLASH!
Lamar was cut back and forth as he was swung around. Lamar landed on the ground in agony as Maxie stretched out black and red chains. Stretching out the chains, Lamar's hands became locked as red and black stripes surround it. Maxie turned around as he took the chain toward him. Lamar tried to break free, but red and black sparks surrounded it as Lamar was taken a back. Maxie laughed as he took out his saber. A red and black aura surrounded it as his eyes began to glow in a bright red aura.
"Magma Chain!"
Stabbing the saber on the chain, flames went straight through as explosions occurred. Quickly, Lamar's handcuffs broke open as the explosion occurred. Maxie looked ahead as Lamar went through the smoke as he grabbed his Doom Hammer. A black aura surrounded the Doom Hammer as Maxie was hit. The lights of his helmet appeared as he grabbed the Doom Hammer. Purple energy surrounded it as he raised his hammer.
"Shadow Slammer!"
Slamming the Doom Hammer, a black aura struck out as Maxie was hit by the attack with full force. Explosions surrounded him as he landed on the ground. Falling to his knees first, Maxie landed his hand on the dirt. Lamar stepped on him as Maxie winced in pain. He then turned around as he took out his Relic Blasters, looking at the pipes connecting it. Maxie looked up as he tried to get up, but Lamar pushed him down. However, Maxie threw him down as Lamar landed on the ground. Maxie laughed as he noticed the device behind him. A red dial was glowing as he saw the pipes. Quickly, Lamar took out his Scope Shot to his Relic Blaster. Pulling the trigger, three black beams shot out as the dial was damaged. Blue and yellow sparks appeared as it began to crack, an explosion occurred. A red shockwave appeared as Maxie flew to the ground.
"That's what you get…," he said.
Meanwhile…
"Let's combine!" said Justen, turning around as he looked at the others. Chloe turned around as she looked at him, "Without Nick…"
"It's fine!" shouted Justen, grabbing his Salamence weapon.
Immediately, his Salamence assault rifle appeared in the center with Chloe's bow attached to it. Brent's Garchomp Tonfas appeared on either side with the Celia's Needler weapon attached to it. Green and yellow auras surrounded them and pressed the button. A blast of energy shot across as the rangers were hit by the attack. Justen laughed as he looked at them.
"This is great…," said Seb, turning around, "Hunter Armor…"
Suddenly, explosions appeared from behind as the Ranger Slayers were hit by something else. Turning around, Seb turned around as the Hunter Battleship arrived.
"Are you kidding me?" asked Brent.
"Rangers," a voice said on the intercom of their Relic Detectors. Urara picked it up as she looked, "Yeah?"
"Lamar managed to destroy whatever it was in that cave… get in the ship and we can attack from here," said Max.
"Sounds like a plan," said Seb.
The rangers turned around, dashing toward the Hunter Battleship. Justen turned around as he tried to shoot them down with Celia and Chloe brining the blasts. Immediately, golden beams pierced the ground as the Hunter Battleship continued its onslaught.
Meanwhile…
Lamar managed to get into the center of the cave. As he arrived at the precise location, he noticed the same towers. Running to see the light, Rachel's eyes were closed as she was carrying the Fire Heart. Nick arrived as he went to strike him down with his saber. Lamar blocked it with his weapon. Swinging the Doom Hammer, Nick dodged the attack and then swung his weapon across. The two of them were sliding across their weapons as they looked at each other.
"It's no use, Lamar," said Nick, "By the time you save her, she will be dead."
Lamar pushed away as he swung his Doom Hammer around, "NOT WHILE I'M HERE!"
Before he went to strike, black ropes surrounded the center of the cave. Nick turned around as Seb and the others arrived. Immediately, Zander, Seb, Grace and Urara flipped forward as they went to strike Nick. Nick flew backwards as Urara turned around.
"I'm coming, Rachel…," said Urara.
Dashing toward her, the Sentinel Knight's saber came across. Urara grabbed the saber tightly. As the saber tried to budge, a green aura surrounded Urara as the Sentinel Knight transformed, pushing Urara down. The Sentinel Knight jumped up as he went to kick Urara. Urara dodged the attack as she rolled underneath. Urara tried to analyze but the Sentinel Knight kicked her in the face.
"Urara!" shouted Grace, jumping up as she went to protect her from the Sentinel Knight. As Grace was hit, Urara helped her up, "He's much powerful!"
"Sadly, I can't break the spell either," said Urara, looking at Grace, "The Fire Heart is linked with the Sentinel Knight to the point of where we can't even use him for battle."
"Urara, Grace! Take Nick back with you!"
Urara turned around as Nick was trying to fight them off. Grace and Urara flipped forward as Nick was grabbed by them.
"What are you going to do?" asked Nick.
"Simple… we are taking this battle outside," said Zander.
Grace nodded as she used her Psychic Cutters. Immediately, the rangers teleported. Lamar dashed forward as he was then struck by the Sentinel Knight. The Sentinel Knight then tried to attack Lamar, only to miss and hit the tomb wall. Lamar then reached forward as he grabbed on to Rachel. Holding on tight, red sparks surrounded him as he held her tightly. Rachel turned around as she looked at him face to face. Her eyes were flaring red as red sparks flew.
"Rachel… come on!" shouted Lamar, "After all, we've been through…"
Thinking about the flashbacks, Lamar and Rachel were butting heads. Sweat was pouring down Lamar's face as he was looking at Rachel. Tightening his grip, Rachel tried to fight back. A black aura surrounded him as his suit disappeared. Explosions surrounded them as the towers collapsed. Rachel screamed as she landed on the ground. A yellow and red aura surrounded her as the energy began to rise. As her head hit the tomb wall, she looked up as she began to feel exhausted. The Fire Heart landed on the ground. As her head began to glow in a yellowish red aura, her head rose from the concrete. She was still wearing her clothes, but noticed blood dripping from her forehead. Getting up, she looked as she noticed the Fire Heart.
"What have I done?" asked Rachel, looking up. She then turned around, noticing the Sentinel Knight.
"Rachel, what happened to us?" asked the Sentinel Knight.
"I wish I knew," said Rachel, "I know this…"
"Yes," he said, picking it up, "I wouldn't touch it if I were you."
"Why?" asked Rachel, about to fall to her knees, "Oh…"
"Precisely," said Sentinel Knight, turning around, "Lamar?"
Rachel looked up, as she tried to get up. As she got up from the ground, she noticed Lamar's body on the wall. His clothes were torn as his face had some cuts and bruises. He looked up as he turned to her, "Rachel…"
"Lamar," Rachel said, looking at his body. He looked up as he tried to get up. He was wincing in pain. Rachel started to sob as she fell to her knees. Lamar looked over as he placed his hand on her hair, "I'm okay… I hope."
"It's all my fault, Lamar," she said, "Because of me… you are in this condition."
Lamar shook his head as he turned to her, "Don't blame yourself. I threw myself in this to save you."
Rachel looked over as Lamar started grinning. The Sentinel Knight walked over as he went to touch him, "Rachel… his body is in critical condition. He needs to be taken back to HQ."
"Well, how do we get back?" asked Rachel.
Suddenly, a red aura of energy appeared. The Sentinel Knight stepped forward as he took the hit. The Fire Heart flew out of his hand as Maxie arrived. He was weaker than ever, with cracks around his body.
"He broke you," said Maxie, laughing, "And you are still here?"
"You did this to me… to us," said Rachel, looking over. As she went to take a step forward, Maxie threw a black and red chain across, hitting her in the face. Burn marks appeared as she landed on the ground. As the Sentinel Knight went to strike, he did the same thing, but wrapping the chain around. Stomping, explosions appeared as the Sentinel Knight flew across, turning into the Sentinel Sword.
"Thanks to you, I can unleash my ultimate beast. Thank you, Rachel and the Ranger Slayers… Hoenn just got a whole lot hotter," said Maxie, grinning as he started to run away. Rachel turned around as she reached for Lamar, "We got to get you help… now."
Lamar nodded as he tried to get up, "We can't get service… but we can get out."
Rachel looked up seeing the piles of boulders. She then took the Sentinel Sword as she went to stab a hole in the rock. Rachel looked at Lamar as she turned around, "Climb on."
"Are you sure?" asked Lamar.
"Just hold on to me… and don't let go," said Rachel.
Lamar nodded as Rachel squatted. Lamar grabbed her shoulders as he hung on. Rachel stumbled a little as she grabbed the saber. Stabbing the saber with each climb, it took them only a good ten minutes to climb. As they reached the top, Lamar fell on the ground as he took a deep breath. Immediately, noticing another Relic Detector in Lamar's pocket. It must've been pickpocketed when they were captured. Rachel grabbed it as she went to activate the button, "Ranger HQ, this is Rachel."
"Rachel…," said Jack, "You're alive!"
"Yeah, but I need your help! Lamar is bleeding badly, the Sentinel Knight is knocked out due to Maxie… he'll die if we don't do something," said Rachel.
"Stay in your position," said Jack.
Rachel nodded. Lamar looked over as Rachel grabbed the Sentinel Sword. As they hugged each other, a yellow aura surrounded them as they disappeared. Rachel then turned around as she noticed the teleporter pad. Amy arrived with a few Blissey walking toward them. The Blissey arrived, grabbing Lamar and putting him on the gurney. As they wheeled him out, Rachel stepped forward as she looked at the Sentinel Knight. Shaking her head, she noticed Cedric, who was standing there.
"Why aren't you down there?" asked Rachel, "And what is this?"
"I'll explain later," said Cedric, "We got to stop the Ranger Slayers."
"Gladly," said Rachel.
Cedric turned around, "How's Lamar?"
"Bad," said Rachel, looking at Cedric, "Well, you said our friends are down there."
Meanwhile…
Seb, Zander, Grace and Urara were hit by the group as the Slayers laughed. Justen and Nick turned around as they looked at them.
"It's nice when its 5 on 4…," said Nick, laughing, "Now, for the-."
Explosions surrounded them as Chloe turned around. Rachel arrived with Cedric as she stepped forward. Nick laughed as he turned around, "I guess your boyfriend sacrificed himself to save you… what a noble gentleman."
Seb turned around as he went toward Rachel. Rachel walked as she went toward Nick. Nick was laughing as Rachel raised her hand and smacked him across the face, feeling her hand smack his helmet. Nick turned around as she then threw a punch in the stomach, causing Nick to wince in pain. She then elbowed him down as she placed her foot on his neck.
"How does it feel now, Nick?"
Nick pushed away as she fell on the ground. He went to strike her down as she took out her Relic Detector. A yellow aura surrounded her as she transformed into her suit. Nick looked down as her Thunder Scooper began to charge with electricity. Nick looked up as he was struck by her. Turning around, Justen and Brent went to strike her down. She turned around as Chloe and Celia went to strike. Rachel opened her eyes as flames surrounded her. Moltres emerged out as flames struck down, burning the four rangers to the ground. Nick spun across as he landed on the ground. He looked up as a green aura surrounded him, transforming out. Rachel placed her Hunter Blade to his neck as Nick gulped.
"How does it feel for real this time?" she asked, "You used me… you used my inner flames… and you have done enough damage…"
"Rachel, wait!" shouted Cedric.
"Shut it, Cedric! This is personal," she said.
Cedric turned around as he looked over, "Now's not the time… we can handle him later."
"But," said Rachel, "Lamar almost died because of him…"
Cedric shook his head. Rachel grumbled as she pushed Nick free. Nick turned around as he angrily looked at her, "And why didn't you finish me?"
Cedric looked at Rachel. Rachel took a deep breath as she turned to him, "Cedric's got a point. I can't defeat you when I am full of anger. But, mark my words, Nick… the next time I see you, I will make sure that you feel my pain."
Before she headed over, flames surrounded the island as the rangers ducked. Rachel turned around as the Magma Bot arrived. Red and orange flames struck out, burning the tomb down.
"Burn! Burn it all! Burn it all to the ground!"
The sound of Maxie, Courtney and Tabitha laughing in the background caused the Magma Bot to continue its onslaught. Seb turned around as he looked at the group, "Let's do it, gang!"
"But, what about our zords?" asked Rachel.
"Uh, yeah… they were destroyed," said Seb.
"WHAT?" Rachel asked.
Within a few seconds, the rangers materialized into the Hunter Battleship. As they arrived at the bridge, they noticed Lamar sitting in one of the stations, bandaged up.
"Lamar…," said Rachel, "You should be-."
"I am not going to sit here and watch," said Lamar, grinning.
Rachel nodded as she sat down next to him. Seb turned around as he sat down. The other rangers sat down at certain spots on the bridge as the red lights came on.
"Seb, I see a lot of Magma Fighters heading this way with tanks and all…," said Grace.
"Target all sides…," said Seb, "Zander, move us to…"
He turned around, looking at the map and radar, seeing the red blimps, "Take us about, 95 degrees west at 20 knots."
"Understood," said Zander.
"Shoot them down!" shouted Seb.
Immediately, rockets and cannons erupted as the Magma Fighters and tanks were hit. As the explosions occurred, the turrets aimed for the Magma Bot.
"Magma Bot targeted," said Grace.
"Give him a TM15… the Hyper Beam one," said Seb.
"Gladly… charging weapons…," said Grace, pressing a few buttons. Seb grinned as he saw the Magma Bot released rockets and explosions around them. Pressing the button, an amber gold beam shot out of the Battleship, piercing the Magma Bot, explosions appeared. Immediately, a screen popped up, showing Maxie.
"We aren't finished yet, Seb… Are you sure you want to try me?" asked Maxie.
"Maxie, you've caused enough bloodshed for one day," said Seb, "Your robot is going to the scrap heap!"
Turning off the screen, he turned around as Urara looked at him, "Seb, we have about 40 minutes until we recharge weapons. We used the Gen 1 TM… and it did pack of wallop."
Seb turned around as he looked at Cedric, "Cedric, can we transmit power to weapons?"
"You will need to give me time," said Cedric.
"Or…"
Seb turned around as he looked at Max, who stood with Jack, "You can listen to my idea."
"Idea?" asked Seb.
Max grinned as he turned around, "Did you honestly think we would give you a battleship without a secret?"
Immediately, Jack gave each ranger a key. It was in their own ranger color and it was shaped like a card key with black and silver stripes, "This battleship can split into five different zords. When you are all together, you can use these swipe cards to combine them from the bridge. You don't even need to separate and change cockpits."
Seb turned around as he looked at them. He then turned around as he noticed the Battleship pieces.
"Let's do it," said Seb.
Turning around, he pressed a silver button. A card slot appeared to the right of the chair. Inserting the key, a red aura surrounded it as he noticed the red blip on the screen. Immediately, the others inserted their key cards, seeing the whole battleship light up.
"Insert Passcode for Voyager Fusion!"
Seb turned around as he looked at Max. Max grumbled, "Code 2011, Enable!"
"Voyager Fusion… in progress!"
The bridge started to shake as the rangers held on. The Hunter Battleship detached into five parts. The yellow bomber vehicle, which had black lightning stripes around it, extended as it became the lower torso and legs. The black freighter stayed connected as the legs lifted up into the air. The black freighter rotated 90 degrees as silver bones materialized around the freighter, becoming the upper torso. The blue fighter jet swung across as it split, becoming the shoulder blades. The front of the Battleship, which were the silver wheels with pink and black stripes connected to either side of the freighter becoming the arms, connecting to the fighter jets. The red armored vehicle then forms the head as it connected to the top of the Megazord. Dark clouds surrounded it as blue lightning bolts surround it.
"What the-?" asked Tabitha.
"That is interesting," said Courtney.
Down on the surface, Nick looked up as he saw the Megazord striking down, "So, they just keep on getting more stuff."
"Battleship Megazord, battle ready!"
Maxie groaned as he snapped his fingers. A black turret joystick appeared as he looked at the Voyager Megazord. He turned around, noticing the Fire Heart. As it started to glow he pressed a few buttons, seeing the Magma Bot's arms stretch out.
"TAKE THIS!"
Pressing the button, flames struck out as it combined as one blast of energy. Swirling around, a green aura surrounded the Battleship Megazord as the rangers held on. Maxie tried to increase power, but it stopped.
"Huh?" asked Maxie.
"That was Light Screen…," said Seb, grinning as he turned to Grace, "Do we still have some remnants of his attack?"
"Oh we absorbed it," said Grace.
"Good," said Seb, "Mirror Coat!"
Grace pressed the button. Immediately, the flames that were surrounding them transformed into a flame attack, shooting down the Magma Bot. Explosions surrounded them as holes pierced into the ground. Immediately, Seb turned around as he noticed a golden aura coming from behind. The Sentinel Knight arrived as he looked, "We need to get the Fire Heart from that robot."
"I was going to ask you… can you?" he asked.
The Sentinel Knight nodded as a green aura surrounded him. Stretching his hand, an emerald aura surrounded his hand as the Fire Heart arrived. Damage surrounded the Magma Bot as it was spinning around. Urara turned around as she looked at Seb, "Team Magma took heavy damage. Power is dropping significantly."
Seb turned around as he looked at his card key, still installed. He then noticed a red blip. He then turned around as he saw everyone had it. The red blip was a button that was next to the card, "Everyone, press the button."
Pressing the button, a golden aura surrounded the arms as they started to twirl. Maxie turned around as he saw the Battleship Megazord head toward them.
"Uh oh…," said Maxie.
"Battleship Megazord, Double Corkscrew Drill!"
The golden auras surrounded the arms as it drilled into the robot. Maxie screamed as Courtney and Tabitha tried to escape. As the Magma Bot collapsed, an explosion surrounded it. The Ranger Slayers stood there in aghast as the Battleship Megazord stood behind the sun.
"And now… that's how we do it," said Seb, looking at it.
A few minutes later…
The Hunter Battleship was on course, heading back to Ranger HQ. Rachel sighed as she looked at the Fire Heart. Placing it in a golden box, she turned around as she turned to the others. Lamar looked at her as she turned to him, "You good?"
"I will be after we destroy them," said Rachel.
Walking away, Lamar went to say something. He then froze as he looked at Seb. Lamar said nothing as he walked toward them, "So… I guess we will be hanging in here?"
"Yeah…," said Urara, looking at her handheld device, "I hate to tell you this, but it's going to be a while until all 14 Zords are repaired. We are just going to have use this for the time being."
"Wonderful and who knows what they will have up their sleeve," said Seb.
Urara turned around, "I'm just lucky we have a ship that packs a punch!"
"Yeah… it definitely saved us," said Lamar, sighing as he turned around. Urara looked at him, "Cheer up. Rachel's going to be okay."
"Just keep telling me that, Urara…," said Lamar, looking at the wall. He sighed as he turned to both of them, "I'm going to get some sleep."
Urara sighed as she turned to Seb. Seb looked at Urara as they walked together, "So… what is it?"
"There was something inside the Fire Heart after the attack. I asked Amy and Ray to look into it," said Urara.
Immediately, a door opened as the two of them turned around. Amy dashed over as she looked at Urara, "You need to be here."
Seb and Urara dashed over as they arrived to the room Amy was in. The rangers stood there in surprised as the Fire Heart began to glow. A red aura surrounded it as a jewel popped out. Urara caught as it as she was looking at it. A pink jewel was shining, shimmering an Abra presence. The rangers look up as they saw a familiar image. Max walked in randomly as he noticed them.
"What was that light?"
The rangers turned around as they saw Rachel, Zander, Grace and Cedric arrive. Lamar looked up as he then noticed the jewel in Urara's hand. A familiar face floated down as he looked at them.
"Rangers," a voice said.
"Mewtra," asked Rachel.
Mewtra nodded as he looked at them, "The Fire Heart contained one of the sacred jewels to the crown. And it will definitely help you find the next one for sure. The seven of you will have to work extremely hard to find the last jewel."
"Do you think you can give us a clue?" asked Seb.
"All I can tell you is this: when three dragons combine, a new artifact will be made and that is where the red jewel will lay," said Mewtra.
"Do you have to rhyme?" asked Zander. Lamar nudged him in the stomach with Urara backslapping him. Zander turned to both of them as Urara shook her head. Mewtra walked over toward Rachel. Rachel looked up as Mewtra put his hand on her shoulder, "Don't give up, Rachel. You will be able to stop them. But, you will have to wait for the opportunity."
Rachel said nothing as Mewtra floated, "Take care!"
A flash of pink light surrounded them as Rachel looked down. Immediately, the rangers turned around to see the Crown of Weather, which was placed in the center of the room. Urara placed the pink jewel to the crown as it started shining.
"One more jewel to go," said Seb.
"Three dragons…," said Grace, "That's our clue?"
"Yup," said Cedric, looking at the team, "We will get it."
"The sooner we get that jewel… the faster we can stop Team Magma and Aqua plus the others from turning Hoenn into a dump," said Lamar, looking at the crown. The crown was shining beautifully as the sun was hitting it from the window…
Poké Rangers: Relic Hunters
VS.
POKE WARS
{Teaser 1}
Maxie sat in his office after how today went.
That's when a voice asked, "Trouble with the whole big bad plan to conquer Hoenn and the world by reviving Groundon? Maxie boy?"
The computer screen at his side lit up as a black figure appeared on the screen with static on it. Maxie couldn't tell who it was, but they had hidden themselves quite well, the only thing that didn't seemed changed or hidden was his voice as it came out clear, "Perhaps I can be of help."
Silva was practicing in his dojo, venting his frustration at the Rangers interfering with his school as a voice spoke, "I have to say you're certainly reminding me of someone I knew,"
Silva looked around before he saw the laptop in the room turning on and saw a figure whose features are hidden by shadows, contrast to the white void, as the voice spoke from it, "He was someone who followed the way of the Sword too. And when he wants revenge."
Archie was having a fit after his loss with the Sentinel Knight, the screen in the room he was in turned on as a voice spoke to him, "You're certainly still sore after your defeat from that knight, aren't you?"
Archie looked and saw the shadow figure on the screen, even as he said, "Trust me, I know how that feels. How would you like to get even?"
"I have a proposition for you. And if you complete then you can say good-bye to those two organizations that got in your way, as well as those Poké Rangers."
Maxie, raised a brow as he did indeed want to remove the annoying interference of not only the other two Criminal organizations but also the rangers.
While Silva raised a brow curious about this, though suspicious of this individual.
Archie, though angry at being called out on, grinned at the thought of Maxie and Silva, especially Maxie, being gone for good.
Unaware that they were all being contacted by the same individual.
Next Chapter:
Zander: This is an interesting computer artifact.
Grace: Why are we dressed like this?
Zander: Go, go, go!
Rachel: Your trade ends here.
Seb: This isn't going well.
Urara: What is this?
Cedric: Zander, your plan sucks!
Poké Rangers Relic Hunters Chapter 37: The Ultimate Computer
A/N: So, this is a LONG author's note because I am sure there are going to be speculations as to what's going on! (And it's in bold intentionally)
So, I am working with twilightnite13 for this awesome crossover that we are designing together. I have known him since the first season of Poké Rangers Hoenn… which if you look back in my profile, that was published a long time ago. He is the author of POKE WARS, a combination of Beast Wars/Pokémon. If you enjoy reading something like this, you should definitely check out his story. You will be very pleased with the work he has done. You will see an update about this in the future.
Going back to the chapter now, this ends the arc of the Ancient Hoenn artifacts! There will be more coming, of course. And we got a new Megazord, which can be used any time. I look forward to writing more and posting next week. Now, note I am saying this in July when this will be up in August… oh, wait it's September.
There is also another announcement… that I have been waiting to announce for a while and we're just going to do it here because technically you would've found out on Monday (this Monday). This is the LAST season of Hoenn as you know, with only 15 chapters left. Originally, I was going to retire and do other projects, but I've had some fans that wanted me to continue. So, I will try to do what I can and we are going to CONTINUE the series… However… we are moving to a different region.
We are going to move to the Sinnoh Region. I have a brand new plot that I plan to use and I have been working with others to develop this new plot, which you will see… but I am going to need your help. Yes, you've read that correctly. Yes, I can write fanfics until the sun sets but when you have a community of writers that want to contribute, it makes things great.
If you scroll to the bottom of my profile page, you need to copy and paste the website to your browser, and that will take you to a Monster Submission Google Form. ALL SUBMISSIONS NOW WILL NOT BE IN A REVIEW, OR A PRIVATE MESSAGE… IT WILL BE ON A FORM. (I will not take character submissions in a review or private message starting today). The reason behind it is so that way I can work more organized and be able to see and look at each character when I write. The same goes for… you heard it… Ranger Submissions. The series will be announced next week, but right now, I need some monsters. Feel free to submit as many as you want from MULTIPLE series. If you are having issues, please PM me and I send you the link or ask me in a review and I can help!
More announcements coming soon! Feel free to review. See you next update.
