At the Shu Ling Shrine,
Akagi, Mitsui, and Hikari are getting prepared for the trial. They are quite ready when Long Wong Fong, the shrine monk, said that he has the Paradyze, the key to Obsardium's restoration..

Fong:"Hmm….very well….Let's see if you're the prophecy…..Li Chen! Get the Paradyze!"
Magnian:"Akagi, Mitsui, Hikari. Now's the time you fulfill my favor, after the famous celebrity hero treatment you've got from your people! Now! Help me revive my world!"

[Play Opening 2]

Li Chen:"Here's the Paradyze. You will need your item on your wrist (GodBracer) to contain the spirit of the god beast. (brings Paradyze using a trolley)"
Fong:"Seiranger, please make sure that you are prepared physically, mentally, emotionally, and the most important, spiritually. Because you will face the Universal Gods of Obsardium, who are spirits. And you can only communicate with them through your strong spirit."
Akagi:"Look, guys! (looks at Paradyze) There are four holes that look like holders for our GodBracers."
Hikari:"But we're only three! One's missing!"
Mitsui:"Maybe Magnian can fit in."
Magnian:"I wish, but I don't have the 4th GodBracer. I left it back at Obsardium."
Fong:"Oh yeah. I don't know what will happen in there, but I'm sure there will be something dangerous when there's not enough souls to take the Trial of the Paradyze."
Akagi:"How do you know?"
Fong;"Uh…..That's what I think…"
All:"Oh, man!"
Mitsui:"Don't scare us like this trial will kill us!"
Hikari:"Calm down, Mitsui!….I guess Fong has a point…"
Magnian:"I don't know the consequence of it either…I just only know what the Paradyze is for."
Akagi:"But we'll gonna find out, right here, right now!"
(screen shows individual faces nod one by one)
Fong:"Just put the crystal on the hole, and you'll face the trial of the Paradyze!"
Akagi:"Ready, guys?"
Mitsui, Hikari:"Ready!" (All three puts GodBracer on holes)

Suddenly, trembling occurs in the room. Magnian, Fong, and Li Chen run towards something to hold to. Akagi, Mitsui, and Hikari are boldly standing at the Paradyze as three lights (red, blue, and yellow) shine from it. Then, it emits a vortex from the middle and expands, absorbing Akagi, Mitsui, and Hikari into it. With a lightning strike from the ceiling and a blinding flash, the vortex shrinks back to the Paradyze, but the 3 teens are still there, standing still. Fong goes to them and taps Akagi's shoulder, but no response. Fong thinks that the Paradyze sucked their souls, and they are currently in a trance while doing the trial. Magnian and Li Chen go towards Fong, and wait for the three teens to regain consciousness.

At an empty place,
The background is pitch-black. There are no objects around the place. Until, a vortex appears out of nowhere. Through it comes out Akagi, who lands face down to the invisible ground. Akagi then stands up, looks around, and finds that Mitsui and Hikari are missing. He runs through the empty world, nothing to go to and nothing to find out. All of a sudden, a ball of light appears in front of him and explodes, sending Akagi away and falling to the ground. When the smoke gradually fades, it reveals four figures standing in front of Akagi. Their details are blurry, but looks similar to the description of the Universal Gods of Obsardium from Wong Long Tong's story (ep. 13).

Winger:"Greetings, Earthling. We are the Universal Gods of Obsardium. We will give you the trial of the Paradyze, giving proof that you have the right courage to help resurrect the planet Obsardium."
Akagi:"So you're the gods who prophesied about us becoming the Seiranger."
Bulky:"OOOOHHH…..SSSEEEEIIIIIRRAAAANNNGERRRR….."
Cat:"Seiranger…..Weird name…"
Lizard:"Not actually us, but she did most of it…We just joined to her plan."
Winger:"So Earthling, are you prepared to take the trial?"
Akagi:"Wa-wait! Where's Mitsui and Hikari? You know, my companions?"
Lizard:"You mean the other two? They are located in each separated world, taking the trial at the same time as you."
Cat:"Hey, You're lacking one more soul. This is not worth it. We need four to complete the trial."
Winger:"It's ok, three is fine. (to Akagi) Sorry, Earthling. Our fellow here is very stubborn. Don't mind him."
Bulky:"LEEETT'SSSS BBEEEEGGGIIIIIINNN THHEEEEE TTRRRRIIIIAAAAALLLLL….."
(The four gods vanish)
Akagi:"Now what? Mitsui and Hikari are someplace else. I think it's impossible to find them, unless I finish this trial."

At another empty place,
A person seems the only one on the pitch-black surrounding. It's actually Mitsui, who is lying down sleeping because of waiting for Akagi and Hikari after he fell from the vortex. He then suddenly wakes up when an explosion happens. It's the Universal Gods of Obsardium again! And they come to Mitsui to tell about the trial of the Paradyze (like what they did to Akagi).
Mitsui:"Why did you put us in different worlds?"
Lizard:"So only you can decide for your actions. No help is coming, so you will depend on yourself and see what kind of courage you have."
Mitsui:"Heh! I still can handle my own! Even without them, I can finish the trial."
Cat:"We'll see about that…"
Bulky:"LEEETT'SSSS BBEEEEGGGIIIIIINNN THHEEEEE TTRRRRIIIIAAAAALLLLL….."
(The four gods vanish again)
Mitsui:"Now to wait for the trial…" (A shining light appears and the background turns to orange)
Mitsui:"Wha-what's happening….Gotta get ready…"

And, at another empty place,
Hikari is just sitting down on, again, a pitch-black place. She's wondering where's Akagi and Mitsui, because they went to the Paradyze together. Then, (you know what will happen, so just fast forward the explosion and the meeting of the Universal Gods of Obsardium).
Hikari:"Uh, I have a question…"
Winger:"Yes, Earthling?"
Hikari:"Will there be something bad if we're lacking one person to take the trial?"
Lizard:"That, you'll realize when you finish the trial."
Hikari (frustrated):"Oooohhh! Why can't you tell me now!"
Bulky:"SSSSPPPOOOIIIILLLEEEERRRR….."
Cat:"…..Hmf.."
Winger:"Don't worry Earthling, you'll find out.."
Bulky:"LEEETT'SSSS BBEEEEGGGIIIIIINNN THHEEEEE TTRRRRIIIIAAAAALLLLL….."
(The four gods vanish for the 3rd time)
Hikari:"What's the big deal? What will happen if they tell me? Am I gonna be-"
(Background turns to orange as a strange light shines in front of Hikari)
Hikari:"Wh-what's this…. (Touches light)"
(Back to Mitsui's place)
Mitsui:"Is this another vortex? (Touches light)"
(Back to Akagi's place)
Akagi:"Maybe this is the beginning of the trial…(Touches light)"

When the three touch the shining light, the place shines very bright, covering the entire screen. Then one by one, Akagi, Mitsui, and Hikari appears on the white area. Their eyes are closed, they seem asleep, but they are right next to each other, not noticing that they're together. Afterwards, a godly voice spoke:
Voice:"This is the trial of the Paradyze. Your actions will tell what kind of courage you have. All you have to do is focus on your motives in using this Paradyze, and tell your answer."
(Silent Moment)
Voice:"Seems that your hearts and minds are clear. Now, prepare to say your intention in the form of an answer to this question: 'Two planets are in the verge of destruction: your planet and another planet. Which will you save, and why?' Choose your answer in your mind, and I'll read it."
Akagi (in his mind):" My answer's both of the planets. I must save all of the people because it is noble and heroic! More is better than one planet, but I'll make sure I have the power to rescue them both, or else, my choice is worthless."
Mitsui (in his mind):" Man, I have to choose one….I think, I'll save the other planet. Uh, because, uh, that's what we're doing right now, so I took this trial…..and there's nothing bad happening at Earth now, so I can freely help the other planet."
Hikari (in her mind):" Hmm…..I think I can't save it alone. I must work with my friends around me, and protect the planet.. . I don't know which planet….Maybe the other planet, because I owe Mr. Magnian a favor for using the SeiGear, so I have to pay him back.."
Voice:"Now that I've read your answers, face your fate….."

Then, the place suddenly turned back to pitch-black again. Then, a flame appears, illuminating the area with red light. There appears Akagi, and the lizard god, who's holding the flame.
Lizard:"You, Earthling, are the chosen one to use my essence."
Akagi:"Wh-who are you?"
Lizard:"I,….(crushes flame in his hand to brighten the area with red background) am, Dai SeiRyuu! The Universal God of fire!"
Akagi:"Dai SeiRyuu?"
SeiRyuu:"Yes. You represent a courage of balance. You have good wisdom, accompanied with a good skill. You are worthy of accepting my essence."
Akagi:"Ok. But is that it? Is the trial finished?"
SeiRyuu:"Hmm….That you will find out by yourself."
Akagi:"Oh…brother-"
SeiRyuu:"Here goes! Blazing Inferno! (Strikes a very powerful flame attack at Akagi)"
Akagi:"AAAAHHHH! (Absorbs all the flame, including Dai SeiRyuu who turns into flame)"
Akagi:"GGGYAAAAARRRRGGHHH!"(glows with red light, then shines, covering the screen)

The brightness fades out to expose another black place. But this time, a water drop illuminates the area with blue light, revealing Mitsui lying down and the bulky god with a snake belt.
Mitsui:"Oh, my head…."
Bulky:"GRRREEETTIIIIINNGGSSSS, EEEAAAARRRRTTHHLLIIIINNGGG."
Mitsui:"What the hell?! A talking snake for a belt?!"
Bulky:"HEHH! EEENNOOUUGGGHH! III'MMM DDAAIIIII GGEEENNBBUUUU…"
Mitsui:"Dai….Gen…bu?"
Genbu:"YYEEEESSSS!(crushes water drop at his hand, making background turn into blue) YYYOUUURR COOUURRAAGEE HHAASS AAA CAARREFRREEE AATTIIITUUUDEE..YYOUU DDON"T CAARREE AABBOOUUTT EEVERYYTHIIING…YYOUUU JJUUUSSTT DDOOO WWHHHAAATT YOUU HEEAARR..".
Mitsui:"Is that so? Are you insulting me?"
Genbu:"HEHH! YYOUU'RREEE THHEE SSSAAAME WWIIIITTH THIIISSS BIIIIIGG GGUUYYY RRRIIIIGHT HEEEREEE…(snake belt points at Dai Genbu's head). HHEEE DDOOEESSS EEVVEERRYYTTHIIIINNGGG III TEEELLLL HHIIIIMMM…."
Mitsui:"'Big Guy?' Who's Dai Genbu?"
Cat (appears from the shadows):"The 'Big Guy' is Dai Genbu, not the snake. The snake belt is actually Genshi. He's like the eyes and mouth of Dai Genbu."
Genshi:"HEHH! SSSOORRYY TTOOO CCOOONNFUUUSSSEEE YYOUUU, EEEAARRTTHHLLIIINNGGG….."
Cat:"Dai Genbu, just give him your essence and end this nonsense."
Genshi:"III TTEEELLLL WHAAATTT DDAAIII GGEENNBUUU DDOOOESSS.."
Mitsui:"Man, I'm so confused right now-"
Genshi:"HHYYYDDRRROOO SSSUUUURRRRGGEEEE!(Dai Genbu strikes a blast of water from his mouth, hitting Mitsui.)
Cat:"Hmf…"(hides from the shadows)
Mitsui:"BLAAABLLLBLBLBL!"(he absorbs the water and Dai Genbu, glows with blue light, then shines brightly, covering the screen)

Again, the brightness goes away, showing Hikari and the winger god holding a sparking ball to illuminate the area with yellow light.
Winger:"Hello, chosen Earthling. I am Dai Suzaku."
Hikari:"Dai Suzaku? Nice name."
Suzaku (waves hand to make a yellow background):"Earthling, you have a courage that relies on friends to become stronger. You also have a courage that is run with emotions."
Hikari:"Thank you! Such kind words…"
Suzaku:"Um, you're welcome….Anyway, because of your courage, you are chosen to receive my essence in order to use your courage in resurrecting Obsardium."
Hikari:"Yup! And I'm ready!"
Suzaku:"(Chuckles). Funny Earthling..Ok, here goes! Roaring Shocker!" (strikes Hikari with lightning)
Hikari:"EEEEEE!"(absorbs lightning and Dai Suzaku in lightning form, making her glow with yellow light and shines brightly, covering the screen)

After the blinding light, the scene goes back to the Shu Ling Shrine. The three teens regain their consciousness from the trial. Magnian, Fong, and Li Chen are glad they're safe.
Magnian:"Glad you're back! Tell me what happened!"
Fong:"This Paradyze sure is weird. But I'm glad noone happened bad from the fact that you lack one more soul."
Hikari:"It's so cool! I met the Universal Gods from the story, and I got Dai Suzaku's essence! (shows blinking GodBracer)"
Magnian:"That's great! How about you guys?"
Mitsui:"Same here. (shows blinking GodBracer) I can't believe Dai Genbu has to shoot me with water to get his essence!"
Li Chen:"Dai Suzaku…Dai Genbu…..hmmm…."
Fong:"What is it, Li Chen?"
Li Chen:"Those names are the same as the Celestial Gods in Chinese Legends!"
Hikari:"Really?! So China and Obsardium are related?!"
Magnian:"That I don't know…..Maybe a coincidence…"
Fong:"Hmmm…Maybe it's influenced by Long Wong Tong's Story and retold many times until it becomes a legend…"
Hikari:"Akagi, why the troubled face?"
Magnian:"Yeah….Seems something wrong. You did get the essence, right? Your GodBracer is blinking…"
Akagi:"Yeah…It's from Dai SeiRyuu…"
Fong:"SeiRyuu!….So that means the fourth god is…Byakko!"
Magnian:"Byakko? The White Tiger is called Dai Byakko?"
Fong;"I think so…Then you need to have Dai Byakko's container and get his essence.."
Mitsui:"But he left it at Obsardium!"
Magnian:"So, we'll go back to Obsardium! We now have the Paradyze, so we'll use it there!"
Hikari:"We'll go into space?! Weeee!"
Mitsui:"What? To another planet? Hey, this seems familiar…"
Magnian:"What is it?"
Akagi (answers Mitsui's question):"It's the trial of the Paradyze…..We just only answered a question for a trial. It's about choosing between rescuing my planet or your planet."
Fong:"That simple?"
Akagi:"Yes…..It's troubling me that the trial is very simple.."
Mitsui:"Hey! Quit the troubling! We got the essence! So that means we passed the trial!"
Hikari:"Yeah! We'll just get the last GodBracer and we'll save Obsardium!"
Li Chen:"Akagi, if you worry too much, your mind will not be peaceful.."
Fong:"That's what I'll say to him!"
Li Chen:"Sorry master…"
Akagi:"(Breathes deeply) Ok. Fine. I won't worry anymore. Let's just go back to Japan and say goodbye to our parents so we can finish this thing without me worrying too much."
Hikari:"Ok! But how do we go back?"
Li Chen:"You'll be traveling by plane again."
Fong:"Li Chen! Be careful on how to use our funds! You already spent a huge amount on the first trip and on the Rickshaw man! If you spend all our funds, we can't buy food anymore!"
Li Chen:"Sorry master! I'll promise to be careful.."
Magnian:"Ok then, let's go!"
Mitsui:"Uh, right now? Can we just rest for a while?"
Hikari:"We already know what to do! We can't miss the chance of helping Mr. Magnian!"
Magnian;"Thank you for your efforts! Let's prepare for departure!"

Afterwards, the group, accompanied by Li Chen, starts moving out of the Shrine. While walking on a woody road towards the Capital,
Hikari:"Akagi, you're still worried."
Akagi:"Sorry. Can't help it. I'm thinking of what will happen if I tell to my parents that I'll be going to another planet…"
Mitsui:"Then don't tell them! It's just that simple! Just say that we're still here in China while we're actually going to Obsardium!"
Akagi:"Hmmm…."
Magnian:"It's Ok, Akagi, you can prepare yourself before we leave…"
Akagi (Changes mind):"…But….But you're always waiting for us to help you while we do our hero stuff! I think it's now my turn to help you. Right guys?"
Mitsui, Hikari:"Yeah!"
Hikari:"Glad you're feeling's fine now, Akagi!"
Akagi:"Even though they'll miss me, I will not worry! Because I have to fulfill my part for Magnian!"
All:"Yeah!"
Li Chen:"Seems we're okay now! Let's go to the airport!"

Suddenly, a twinkling star appears on the sky. It appears as a spaceship going straight to the ground! The group sees this and runs for cover, then the spaceship comes crashing to the ground! After the dust from the impact fades off, it reveals the spaceship to the group, and they went towards it. Then surprisingly, out from the spaceship comes metallic robots! They jump to the group and surround them very quickly! After the teens, Magnian, and Li Chen are blocked, they wonder what is happening. They look up to the spaceship which seems there's someone coming out again.

It's…..a being wearing white SeiGear similar to the Seiranger!

Who is this being? Why does it wear a SeiGear? Does it have the fourth GodBracer, Dai Byakko's vessel? Find out in the next episode of Fuhen Sentai Seiranger!
