When Daniel and Dayu arrived on the scene, the monster had just turned into a giant. The creature had a largely grey body with an elongate red upper body and head. At first glance the monsters body seemed to have been styled after some lipstick. His friends were defending the bridge across the ravine that lead into the city. If the monster got past them then, the city wouldn't stand a chance.
"Guys good timing", VK began, "looks like we get to use our new zords".
The red ranger gripped her avataro gear in her hand. She placed her zord gear into her blaster morpher and spun the gear on the side it it clicked, she then pulled the trigger. There was a large rumble of thunder and the mighty zord appeared from the sky. The other rangers watched in awe as the peach began to unfold, forming a pair of legs. Then a pair of humanoid arms. The whole structure began to twist until it took the basic shape of a human. Finally reveal a humanoid face and attached to the top of the zord, "Blimey Lauren doesn't do things by halves does she", VK whistled as he looked up at the Momotaro Battlezord.
In the cockpit of the zord Lauren was trying to work out how to control her new craft. There weren't any obvious controls, only the red orb, "Maybe if I touch this", Lauren said and lowered her hand towards the orb. She felt a small prick in the back of her mind as she linked up with her zord. Lady Rouge had run out of patience with the red ranger and began to charge towards the Battlezord. Instinctively Lauren thought about blocking the attack and the zord responded to her request. The Battlezord raised its arms, parrying the blow before countering with a punch of its own.
Lady Rouge grew more frustrated and sent an energy pulse towards the Battlezord. The zord responded by calling on a sword like Lauren's and deflected the blast. With another swing of its sword it sliced down the face of Rouge, drawing a cry of despair from the monster. "My precious face", she screamed, "you'll pay for this". The monster unleashed a volley of attacks on the Battlezord and Lauren was quickly struggling to keep up. One blow caught the zord in the chest and sent it tumbling to the ground.
Confident in her victory, Lady Rouge turned away from the Battlezord and starting moving on the school. In desperation the zord grabbed her legs to stop her from moving, "Pathetic ranger", Rouge turned around and kicked the Battlezord in the abdomen, sending it rolling through the weeds.
"Damn it", Lauren cursed as she struggled to right her zord, "I can't do this alone". A metaphorical lightblub went off in Lauren's head, she placed his hand over the control orb, "Guys I need your help", she called out over the communication system.
"One step ahead of you mate", Kong replied as he arrived in his Gorilla wild zord form , Kong rumbled across the ground, its front arms moving periodically. The gorilla wild zord used to be green and gold accents. Now he was blue with gold accents, Kong rammed into the legs of Lady Rouge, stopping her in her tracks.
"Save some for me", Dayu called out from the Oni zord, the yellow zord was a humanoid in shape but distinctly demonised, the Oni zord sped toward Lady Rouge and quickly blocked further access to the city.
"Why do I get lumbered with the dog", VK continued to grumble about his zord, thw smaller black dog Apart from the design of the zord was almost identical to the Blue world ninja Zord.
"Quit your whining", Daniel chuckled as his pheasant Zord streaked through the sky. Its dark pink wings flapped and it slowly began to turn its body into a vertical position. It began to generate a strong gust of wind that prevented Lady Rouge from advancing towards the others, "Here's your opening Shiba", the pink ranger called out.
Lauren smiled at the support from her fellow rangers and was finally able to right her zord. With Lady Rouge still distracted from the onslaught, the Battlezord was giving a clear shot of the monster. It swung its sword towards Lady Rouge, knocking the monster away from the bridge but crucially she still wasn't defeated. "Maybe I need a little more momentum", Lauren muttered to herself.
In each of the rangers cockpits, their control orb began to glow, "What's going on?" Kong asked.
"I think it wants us to combine our powers", Dayu replied over the radio.
In the Battlezord Lauren agreed with her friend, "Let's bring them together", she began, "let's see what our zords can really do". The Gorilla zord moved forward until it linked up with the Oni Zord on its left and the Dog Zord on its right. The Pheasant Zord landed across the back so its wings were touching the Oni and Dog Zords. Finally the Momotaro Battlezord stepped onto the flat floor created up the other four zords. "Mystic Chariot", Lauren called out, "take flight".
The Mystic Chariot slowly took to the air before crashing into Lady Rouge, this time she was sent tumbling down the ravine. The monster bounced off several rocks before landing in the shallow stream at the bottom. The Mystic Chariot lurched higher into the air before completing a tight loop. It was now diving down into the ravine at tremendous speed and heading straight towards Lady Rouge.
The red ranger instructed the Battlezord to step out of its bindings and place a foot on the head of Gorilla Zord in front. Just before hitting the ground, it jumped off the Chariot with its sword at the ready. With the extra momentum the sword had enough energy to cleave through the monster. Lady Rouge stumbled a couple of times before falling to the ground in a shower of sparks. The Momotaro Battlezord skidded across the ground and took a moment to pose. "Bloody show off", VK said with a small smile in the direction of his friend.
"Alright Shiba that's enough posing, we should probably get back", Dayu added over the radio.
"Can't you let me have this moment", Lauren responded with a huff but the yellow ranger was right. The zords were dismissed and the rangers returned to the mansion as the remains of Lady Rouge smouldered away underneath them.
Back in their training room the rangers were talking excitedly about their new zords and their latest victory against. Unseen by the group, Ji made his way into the room, "I see congratulations are in order", he called out from a dark corner of the room. He slowly made his way over to the rangers. Ji knew the team were only as strong as their weakest link. If Dayu was unable to get over the hate she and now VK would face it could lead to the downfall of the rangers.
