When we last left our heroes, they had just been located by Hyuuga, the new Kurokishi, who had recently been under attack by the Rangers, who captured his brother and his team, the Seijuu Sentai Gingaman. With two teams of Rangers, do our heroes have a chance?
Ronin Warriors: Lightspeed Galaxy
Chapter 2: Terror from Titanium.
"So let us get this straight." Ryo said. "Those guys attacked the ranch you six were living at, beat you down, captured Ryouma and the others, and left you behind?"
"Yes, that's exactly what happened. Due to an unfortunate accident when I was captured by Balban, my connection to my Earth of Fire was cut off. That is how they found us to begin with, with strange devices that allowed them to home in on our Earth powers. So I am basically invisible to them." Hyuuga explained.
"Don't worry, we'll beat those guys and free Ryouma and the others." Kento said.
Anubis stood up.
"Unfortunately we have no idea where they may have taken him. My best assumption is that they brought him to their old studios and locked them up. We will be unable to find them until they show up here again or we go looking for them."
Rowen ran into the room.
"Uh guys, I think our problem has been solved. Come look at this!"
The other eight warriors and Hyuuga rushed into the living room, where a news report spoke of the five Lightspeed Rangers wreaking havoc on the city. Several dozen Batlings had been brought along, along with Sting Wingers, and other miscellaneous minions. The Power Rangers Lost Galaxy were also on the scene, wasting stuff with their Quasar Launchers.
"We must hurry. The city may be damaged far worse if we wait any longer." Anubis said.
"Then let's put the pedal to the metal." Kento said.
"Right. Ronin Warriors to Arms!" Ryo shouted.
(Just Communication kicks up)
The nine sub-armors transformed into Gundam Wing flight suits.
"Armor of Zero Wildfire! Tao Jin!"
"Armor of Nataku Hardrock! Tao Gi!"
"Armor of Griepe Strata! Tao Inochi!"
"Armor of Zeus Halo! Tao Chi!"
"Armor of Sandrock Torrent! Tao Shin!"
"Armor of the Deathscythe! Tao Chu!"
"Armor of the Epyon! Tao Ko!"
"Armor of the Ashura! Tao Tei!"
"Armor of the Virsago! Tao Nin!"
Within a matter of moments their armors appeared behind them, and broke into energy which swirled around the heroes. They attached at their forearms, their shins, and then their chests. Their helmets appeared before them and they donned them, causing a brilliant flash of light, which faded quickly, revealing the heroes in full battle armor. Their face plates closed up and nine were ready to go.
Hyuuga drew his sword and held it up.
"Kishi Tensei!"
In a short amount of time he was transformed into Kurokishi.
"Let's go." Ryo said.
The armor clad soldiers stormed out of the house, causing quite a racket.
"Let's move out! Flight Mode!" Ryo shouted.
"Flight Mode!" Rowen shouted.
"Flight Mode!" Kale shouted.
Beams of light flew out from the heads of their armors, revealing tiny versions of themselves as their armors transformed into strange vehicles, which the three quickly landed in.
"Chariot!" Sage shouted.
A large Roman style chariot flew out of the sun and landed beside Sage. He hopped on along with Kurokishi.
"YoroiJets on!" Anubis and the others with non-variable suits shouted, rocketing into the air as Ryo, Rowen, Kale, and Sage followed them.
"Okay Rowen, let's find those guys and take them out." Ryo said from inside his Bird like vehicle.
"Okay, I've locked them down. They're downtown, and there's not going to be much left of it if we don't get there fast."
"Right, let's go for it." Ryo said.
He, Kale, and Rowen rocketed off in their respective flight modes with Sage not far behind.
"Amazing. The four of them have improved a great deal with the use of these unusual suits since we got them." Anubis commented.
"Yes. They are truly a sight to see." Dais said.
"Are you guys coming?" Ryo asked over their communications equipment.
"Yes, we're on our way. Maximum burn!" Anubis shouted.
The others did the same and rocketed after their companions. Minutes later they spotted the carnage below.
"Okay guys, let's get them. Soldier Configuration!" Ryo shouted.
Kale and Rowen did the same, causing beams of light to fly out of the vehicles which changed back into their armor forms which they then landed inside at full size. The nine flew downward, using their YoroiJets to slow their decent until they alighted.
(Come On! Kicks up)
"So you're back for more?" Carter asked.
"I think we're going to fare a little better this time." Kento shouted.
"Really? Blast them Leo!" Carter shouted.
"You got it."
The five Galaxy Rangers aimed their Quasar Launchers at the Ronin and Warlords and opened fire, causing a giant explosion to result.
"Whoohoo! We got them!" Joel shouted.
When the smoke cleared, to the Rangers' surprise, the Ronin were still standing!
"Were you trying to scratch our armor or something?" Kento asked.
"These things are made of Gundanium alloy. There's no way you're going to damage us with those pitiful things." Anubis said.
"Get them minions!" Chad shouted.
Several Batlings charged at Anubis, who simply stood there. He did not even draw his weapon.
"Guns, command line. Maximum firepower." Anubis said calmly.
The twin machinecannons emerged from the armor's shoulders and the Vulcan cannons on his head fired up and began emptying on the Batlings, cutting them down at unbelievable speed. When a considerable amount of warriors had been riddled with bullets the machinecannons retracted, and Anubis raised his Buster Shield at one Batling, locked on with his targeting equipment, opened the blades and fired the beam cannon within, and sent the shield flying at the Batling, destroying it on contact before flying back to Anubis' arm.
"All right Anubis! Now let's see how you guys like this trick." Kento said.
The dragon on his arm locked over his left fist and flew out and latched onto a Batling, and then burned it to a crisp before retracting.
"Oh yeah, I'm the man. Let's see how you like me up close and personal." Kento said.
Brandishing his staff, he charged at the warriors, who slashed at him which he easily blocked with his shield and turned his head to spray them with Vulcan cannon fire, before latching on with the dragon fang and hurling them for a loop.
"Yo Sai! Catch!" Kento shouted.
Taking his man-catcher Sai caught the troop in midair, and the heat shorters built into the blades melted the creature to nothing. Troops surrounded him, but he called for his shield to block their attacks, but they knocked it away. Sai whipped out his beam machinecannon and proceeded to mow more minions down.
"Not bad Sai. My turn." Sage said.
Sage drew his sword, and charged at the soldiers with his YoroiJets, cutting them down to size, but more quickly overwhelmed him.
"Chariot, return!" Sage shouted.
His chariot quickly flew in, which he hopped on. He then pulled out his hammer and charged at the troops, knocking them aside as he charged through them. He then disengaged from it and switched back to his sword, only to get overwhelmed as well.
"I've got you covered." Rowen said.
Aiming his staff, the Cannon within it opened fire, mowing down several soldiers.
"Not bad Strata. Now it's time to show them what I can do!" Kale said.
Several troops tried to slash at Kale, but he knocked them to pieces with his giant sword. Several others tried to harm him, but he whipped them to death with the heat rod. But still they overwhelmed him. But they were shot away with a series of eyebeams.
"Allow me." Sekhmet said.
Taking his multiple swords, he tore into the minions, knocking them apart in a matter of moments. But then he too was knocked away.
Dais cut into several with his claw beams, then opened up his chest and wasted them with his Triple Megasonic gun.
Nearby, Ryo was getting swarmed by soldiers faster than he could blast them with his twin guns. He shot himself into the air with his thrusters and landed a good distance away from them.
"That does it." Ryo said.
Taking the twin guns, he placed them together and locked them into his shield. He then aimed it at the oncoming troops, which he quickly locked onto every single one in his line of sight.
"Okay, everyone get clear!" Anubis shouted.
The nine leapt out of the way as Ryo fired, sending an extremely long beam of energy ripping through their ranks which vaporized them on contact.
"Mission accomplished." Ryo said.
(No Control kicks up)
"Not bad Ronin. But we've got plenty more where that came from!" Carter shouted.
Yet another Pandora's Box of cannon fodder appeared on the scene. The heroes activated their cannons once more and tore into them, but they kept coming. Before long their barrels were out of ammo!
"This is not good Ryo. We can't waste them anymore!" Kento said.
"Then we're going to have to do this the hard way." Ryo said.
Ryo brandished his swords and flew into his kata motion. The others caught on and did the same. Finally they ended in the opening positions for their sure-kills.
"Flare Up...Now!"
"Iron Rock Crusher!"
"Arrow Shock...wave!"
"Thunder...Bolt...Cut!"
"Super Wave Smasher!"
"Quake With Fear!"
"Black Lightning Slash!"
"Snake...Fang...Strike!"
"Web of Deception!"
The attacks slammed into the minions, vaporizing them once again, as well as doing more damage to the already crumbling rubble.
"We can't keep this up much longer Ryo!" Sage shouted.
"Yeah, before long we'll be too weak to vaporize anything." Rowen shouted.
"We have no choice. We must contact the Forgotten Souls." Anubis said.
"All right. Rowen, patch through to the phone at the house and get the Forgotten Souls. I don't care if we've got to call collect just do it!" Ryo said.
"You got it man." Rowen said.
"Sai, I want you to see if you can take care of those jerks with those missiles of yours." Ryo said.
"I'll try."
Twin missiles fired from Sai's shoulders, slamming into more incoming minions, blowing them to kingdom come.
"Perhaps we should try another blast from hell Ryo." Anubis suggested.
Everyone got behind Ryo as he aimed his twin beam cannon, which locked onto every last minion approaching. The guns powered up and Ryo fired, sending yet another 93 mile long beam of energy tearing through downtown Toyama.
"Okay guys; let's tear these guys apart while we still can." Ryo said.
Everyone drew their non-long range weaponry and proceeded to hack through the minions while Rowen struggled to get in touch with the house.
Meanwhile...
In the mansion, the phone rang. The Forgotten Souls heard it and yelled for Mia to get it, under the impression that it could be someone calling who would not be too happy to learn that Mia was harboring various individuals who weren't paying rent. Inside the house though, Mia was running around the house cleaning, with headphones on, thus making it impossible for the Forgotten Souls to learn that the Ronin were basically getting their butts kicked.
"What's going on? Why can't I get through? Maybe I should try contacting Dark Inferno. Griepe Strata, patch me through to Hariel's Dark Inferno." Rowen said.
"Acknowledged. Contacting Dark Inferno." the armor said.
Back at the Mansion...
"Attention, incoming message." Dark Inferno said.
The Forgotten Souls, who were practicing, stopped as Hariel walked over to his ultimate weapon and hopped in.
"This is Hariel." he said.
"Hariel! You guys have got to come quick! We're out of ammo and getting our butts kicked by lowly minions! What a way to go! We won't be able to hold out much longer." Rowen explained.
"Okay, we're on our way." Hariel said.
"What was that about?" Saber Strike asked.
"The Ronin are in trouble." Hariel explained. "Let's get going."
Everyone but Saranbo hopped onto Dark Inferno, which roared to life and flew off towards the conflict.
Meanwhile, back at the scene...
The Ronin were knocked back by the indispensable minions faster than they could cut a swath through them.
"We should really call for some more help!" Kento shouted as he whacked another soldier upside the head with his staff.
"You're right. We have no choice." Dais said.
"We must use..." Sekhmet said.
"The cell phone." the team said.
Anubis reached for the infamous cellular device, but he was hit by an energy blast, knocking him out!
"Oh great. We're doomed now!" Kento said.
"Do not worry Hardrock! For I have a copy of the" Dais began.
(Ubiquitous fanfare)
"Anime Yellow Pages!" Dais exclaimed.
"Your guide to the wilds of Japanese cel animation." A deep voice said.
"Was that James Earl Jones?" Sage asked.
"No time to contemplate. Dais, quickly, turn to section A." Ryo said.
"Why A?"
"For Ass-kickers!" Ryo shouted.
"Oh, all right. Wait! It's sorted by race!"
"Damn! See if you can find someone who can really kick some ass!" Kento said as he knocked down another minion.
"Wait! I think I found someone! But we're going to have to call the Universe of Four Gods." Dais said.
"DO IT!" the Ronin shouted.
"Okay okay, I just don't want Anubis' phone bill to increase to unbelievable proportions."
Dais dialed a number, and told whoever was on the other end to come over immediately.
"Did you get through?" Sekhmet asked.
"Yes. They said they'd send someone to help soon no da." Dais replied.
"Oh Kami-sama. Please don't tell me Chichiri's coming." Sekhmet said.
"No. He's not. They're sending someone else though." Dais said.
As if in answer a red beam of light flashed down and a strange figure with flaming hair stepped out of it carrying a very large fan.
"What are you gonna do with that fan? Cool us off?" Carter joked.
The strange figure's hair seemed to get fierier at the comment.
"Take cover!" Dais said as the figure brandished his fan.
With the cry of "Rekka Shinen!" a hot burning blast of flame slammed into Carter's minions, burning them to a crisp. The figure turned and left.
"Great. There are still more of them!" Ryo shouted.
"How long before Hariel gets here?" Ryo asked.
"He's at the city limits now." Rowen reported.
"Then there's only one thing to do." Dais said.
He activated Anubis' speed dial and called a number. Just then Anubis woke up.
"Ow...Somebody get the number of that truck. Who did you call?" he asked Dais.
"Uh, I don't think you want to know. More Like I paged someone." he replied terrified.
"You PAGED someone? Oh no..." Anubis said.
"What?" Sai asked.
"She's coming!" Anubis shouted.
Everyone except Sai understood what Anubis meant.
"Oh no! Take cover!" Kento shouted, diving behind some rubble.
"We're doomed!" Sage said, ducking behind a damaged car.
"Women and Ronin first!" Rowen shouted, diving into a damaged building.
"Wait for me Rowen!" Ryo shouted.
"Damn. They took all the good hiding places!" Kale exclaimed.
"How much longer do we have before she gets here?" Sekhmet asked.
"Who's she?" Sai asked, still curious.
"Summoned by Heaven..." a voice said.
"We're too late." Anubis said.
"We're all gonna die!" Dais screamed.
"Hit the deck!" Sekhmet screamed.
The four Warlords dove onto to the ground while a still clueless Sai kept standing.
"Gods, Ancients, Ancestors, anyone who's listening...PLEASE KEEP US ALIVE!" Anubis prayed.
"The Earth..." the voice said again.
"Uh Kami...I know I've been bad in the past, but can you give me this one favor?" Kale asked.
"And MY BEEPER..."
"Now why does that sound familiar?" Sai wondered.
A female warrior brandishing a wooden sword stood on a rooftop.
"The strongest warrior of the guardians and ultimate female sword saint Hazumi Jinno has arrived!"
"Dais, why didn't you call Deedlit! She could have taken care of THEM without taking care of US!" Anubis shouted.
"Who's this chick?" Joel wondered.
"My sword can cleave entire galaxies." Hazumi said.
"This really isn't good. Get her!" Carter shouted.
The Rangers fired on her, but she leaped out of the way.
"That's unforgivable." Hazumi said.
"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" The Warlords screamed in unison.
"That's my line!" Sai exclaimed.
"Shut up Sai!" The other Ronin and Warlords shouted.
"Super Technique: Blazing Tulips!" Hazumi shouted.
The Warlords closed their eyes and when they opened them they and their opponents were covered with tulips.
"That wasn't so bad." Anubis said.
"Please, please have her leave now! I'll be really good I promise!" Kale added.
"Yo! You come get me!" Joel said. "I can take it!"
"I can't look..." Sekhmet said.
Hazumi ran over and nailed Joel with the Single Stroke Giant White Radish Cut.
"Joel! Unilaser! V-Lancers!" Carter shouted.
The weapons were called upon and they fired on Hazumi.
"I'll never Forgive you." she said.
"RUN FOR IT!" Anubis shouted.
Before they could get up, Hazumi screamed,
"Unparalleled Beauty's Ultimate Sword Technique!"
A huge explosion ensued, burying the Ronin and Lightspeed Rangers under a pile of rubble. Slowly but surely the Warlords emerged one by one, followed by the Ronin.
"She's gone! We're still alive!" Anubis shouted.
"Yeah!" Kale added.
"Woohoo!" Sekhmet added.
The four Dark Warlords started to dance. The Ronin soon joined in. Then they turned over and saw Sai. His armor was charred and he was still smoking. Fortunately his armor had protected him from her onslaught.
"Sai? Are you okay?" Kento asked.
There was silence for a moment, and then Sai spoke.
"Oh her! Why didn't you guys tell me?" he asked.
Sai's response caused the other Ronin and Warlords to facefault. Just then, Hariel and the Forgotten Souls arrived on the scene.
(Depend on You kicks up)
"What happened here?" Hariel asked.
"Hazumi happened." Anubis explained. "Dais called her."
The Forgotten Souls quickly became scared.
"She's not here, is she?" Hariel asked nervously.
"No, she left." Dais said.
The group quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, where are those Rangers?" Saber Strike asked.
"Hopefully they're destroyed." Ryo said.
"Dark Inferno, scan for Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue." Hariel said.
"Acknowledged...Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue...still remain. "
Everyone groaned in disgust.
"Those bastards must have teleported away before Hazumi nailed them! DAMN!" Kento shouted.
"Calm down Hardrock. They might still be in Japan." Anubis said.
"Rangers located, 100 km North of Toyama." Dark Inferno reported.
"Let's go get them." Ryo said.
"Uh Ryo, we're out of ammo, Remember?" Rowen reminded him.
"Not to mention our energy weapons are depleted?" Sage added.
"I would have thought that your weapons were keyed to your mystic power source like Dark Inferno's is."
"It should be. We've wasted all our ammunition and missiles and the capacitors for our other weapons are going to take time to recharge." Anubis said.
"These things should have come with an owner's manual." Rowen said.
As if in answer his armor began accessing something. The other's armor did as well.
"Okay, they did come with an owner's manual." Kento said.
"It says that our weapons were keyed to the mystic energies, and all we have to do to rearm our ammo based weapons is shout reload." Ryo read.
"RELOAD!" the Ronin and Warlords with machine and Vulcan cannons shouted. Their HUD displayed that they were at full ammunition.
"Okay, now what about our beam weapons?" Sai asked.
"Unfortunately those are going to take some time. Like a few hours before the capacitors for them reach full power." Rowen reported.
"Oh this is just great. We've got to go up against those guys without Ryo's guns from hell?" Kento asked.
"I'm afraid so Kento." Ryo said.
"Maybe if we were to shed our Mecha Armor, the capacitors might charge faster." Rowen suggested.
"That might actually work!" Sekhmet exclaimed.
"It's your call Ryo." Sage said.
"What do you think Anubis?" Ryo asked.
"It might work, but these guys are pretty tough. The only reason we're still standing is because of that thick Gundanium plating." Anubis said.
"We'd be in better condition if they had fewer minions with them, or if SOMEBODY didn't call Hazumi to wreak havoc." Kale said.
"Get over it guys! I'm sorry I'm sorry!" Dais said.
"Regardless of whether or not she came or they brought a Pandora's Box of minions does not matter now. What does matter is most of our more powerful technology is in need of a severe recharge, and thanks to the circumstances we're probably too weak to call upon our sure-kills. I suggest that we try Strata's idea. We'll use our White Neo Armors. Maybe we're just hitting them too hard." Anubis suggested.
"Agreed. We go White Neo and if things get rough we call in the heavy artillery, which hopefully will be recharging faster." Ryo said.
The others agreed and they powered down their mighty Gundanium plated death suits.
"Okay. Let's get going." Ryo said.
"We'll get you there. Hop on." Hariel said.
The nine warriors climbed onto Dark Inferno and the entire group took off.
Meanwhile, 100 km north...
"Yeah! We beat those mechanized morons!" Joel shouted.
"They're not done yet. We blasted them several times and they didn't even go down. Those armors are very powerful. I'm beginning to see why the Mystic Knights failed. We can't suffer the same fate." Carter said.
A message came over their communications equipment.
"That's why I've taken precautions. We have something that will help us, and he's being forced to work with your Lightspeed Organization to develop a deterrent to get rid of those accursed super armors. However they are not complete yet, so you'll have to make do with what you have." Shuki said.
"Okay. We understand."
"Look! Here they come!" Chad shouted.
The other Rangers looked to see Dark Inferno heading their way.
"What the heck is that thing?" Damon wondered.
"Don't know. It must be some kind of primitive Zord." Karone said.
Meanwhile, up in the sky, Hariel and his nine extra passengers prepared to strike.
"Let's see how they do with this! Batlings!" Carter shouted.
"Sting Wingers!" Leo shouted.
Hundreds of cannon fodder appeared around them.
"Where do they get all these damn minions?" Kento shouted in disgust.
"Minions R' Us?" Sai joked.
Kale whacked him upside the head, almost falling off.
"Ryo, don't worry. The Forgotten Souls and I will handle the minions. You concentrate on getting whoever's in that ship." Hariel said.
"Got it Hariel. Let's get 'em guys!" Ryo shouted. "Ronin Warriors!"
"To ARMS!" the other eight shouted.
With that the nine soldiers let go and fell towards the battlefield.
(Bye! My Boy! Kicks up)
"Armor of White Neo Wildfire! Tao Jin Jin!"
"Armor of White Neo Hardrock! Tao Gi Gi!"
"Armor of White Neo Strata! Tao Inochi Inochi!"
"Armor of White Neo Halo! Tao Chi Chi!"
"Armor of White Neo Torrent! Tao Shin Shin!"
"Armor of White Neo Cruelty! Tao Chu Chu!"
"Armor of White Neo Corruption! Tao Ko Ko!"
"Armor of White Neo Venom! Tao Tei Tei!"
"Armor of White Neo Illusion! Tao Nin..."
The eight Ronin alighted gently, while Dais slammed into the ground with a thud, causing a crater.
"...Nin" He finished.
Somehow still functional, he stood up.
"I'm sorry!" he shouted at the sky.
"Get them Minions!" Leo and Carter shouted.
The minions charged, but a few dozen of them were blasted to oblivion by a missile strike.
"Thanks Hariel. Let's get these guys!" Ryo shouted.
He and the others pulled out their weapons and began charging at the Rangers while the Forgotten Souls cut a swath through the minions.
"You're mine Carter! AAAAH!" Ryo shouted.
He summoned his flame aura and sent it flying into the Red Ranger, knocking him down. He switched his weapon to Baton mode while Leo readied his own sword. The two tried to double team Ryo, but he blocked with both his swords, knocking them to the ground.
Meanwhile, Sage and Rowen had their hands full with Kai. He drew his Quasar Saber and proceeded to slash at Sage, but Sage blocked with his Sword of Halo. Kai called on his Cosma Claw and slashed at Sage, but it barely cut through his armor. As the two parried each other's blows, Rowen took to the sky and hovered above Kai.
"What's your friend gonna do? Shoot me with his bow?" Kai asked Sage.
"Hardly. Vacuum Breakthrough!" Rowen shouted, turning into a bolt of energy and slamming into Kai, knocking him several feet away. Just then, Chad ran on the scene, armed with his weapon, coming out of nowhere and going for Sage.
"Sage, Look out!" Rowen shouted, recovering from his last attack.
"Light Come Forth!" Sage shouted, enveloping his sword in light, causing it to glow. He slashed at Chad, destroying his V-Lancer before the blade powered down.
"Thunder...Bolt...Cut!" Sage shouted, blasting him away.
Elsewhere, Kento and Sai were tangoing with Damon and Joel, who had called in the V-Lancer and the Transblaster. Damon took several shots at Kento and Sai, who managed to leap out of the way.
"This isn't going to work for long!" Sai shouted as Damon let fly with another blast. Joel joined in the fun with his own V -Lancer Blaster mode by taking the Handle from his Blaster and attaching it to the lance.
"Then let's rock their world." Kento said.
His kanji of Justice appearing on his forehead, he lifted his arms to the sky, causing the earth to shake beneath the two warriors.
"What's going on here?" Joel wondered.
Seconds later the two were shot into the air by giant pillars of rock. Dark Inferno hovered nearby.
"Hi guys. Let's see how you like this attack." Hariel said, pulling the pylons into place.
"Rage of the Dark Inferno!" he shouted, nailing the two with twin blasts which knocked them back to Earth. Sai leapt up and caught them with his man-catcher, who then hurled them at Kento, who activated his super strength and let them have it with his staff, sending them flying and scrambling for cover.
Meanwhile, Anubis and Sekhmet prepared to mess with the combined efforts of Kelsey and Maya. Sekhmet had already begun to place his swords before him.
"Snake...Fang...Strike!" he shouted, nailing them with his poison.
"Quake with Fear!" Anubis shouted, trapping them in a web of chains.
"That should take care of them." Anubis said.
"Now it's our turn." Kale said.
He and Dais stood off to deal with the rest of the problem. Karone charged with her Quasar Saber, but Kale blocked it with his own while Dais whacked Dana with his Morning Star.
"Let's take this to the next level." Kale said.
"You got it. Web of Deception!" Dais shouted.
He fired his extensor blades, which captured the two girls in a web.
"Prepare for a shocking experience. Black Lightning Slash!" Kale shouted, electrifying the chains, knocking them out.
"Now let's help Ryo." Anubis said.
"Got it covered!" Ryo said.
Carter and his pal Leo slashed at Ryo just before he leapt into the air.
"Sayonara baka. Flare Up...Now!" Ryo shouted, knocking the two away with a blast of flame.
Ryo alighted, and surveyed the situation.
"Yeah, we rule. Now let's go get Ginga...AAAAH!" Ryo shouted as he got hit by an energy blast!
"Ryo!" Rowen shouted as he and the other Ronin and Warlords ran to his side.
(Cut off if not done, Ranger BGM)
Out of nowhere a hatchet thrown boomerang style cut through Dais and Anubis' chains, freeing the other Rangers.
"What's going on?" Kento said.
"Your end Ronin." a voice said.
The hatchet flew back and landed in the hand of a silvery figure.
"Who in the Nether World are you?" Anubis demanded.
"My Name is Ryan Mitchell and I am known as the Titanium Ranger. I'm looking forward to kicking your butts." he replied.
"We didn't hear anything about a Titanium Ranger." Anubis said.
"We thought you wouldn't. I would like to mention that I'm twice as strong as any of these guys." he replied.
"We'll see. Let's get him!" Kento shouted, charging at him with his Naginata ready.
"Wait Kento!"
Kento swung at Ryan with his staff, but he blocked with his hatchet. Surprisingly every blow Kento attempted to make was fended off by the supreme power. He whacked Kento several times, damaging his armor and knocking him to the ground. In anger Sai charged at the warrior and grabbed him with his Man-catcher, but Ryan managed to pry himself free and tossed Sai with his own weapon.
"This is enough. He can't take all of us on at once!" Ryo said.
"Let's take this guy down." Anubis said.
Anubis launched into the air twirling his Kasari-gama while Rowen went skyward to aim his bow. Kale and Sage charged with their swords, but he blocked them both with his hatchet and knocked them away, just as he turned to kick Sekhmet, sending him flying a good distance. He converted his weapon to blaster mode and knocked Anubis out of the sky, and then took aim at Dais who was setting up for his sure-kill.
"Arrow Shockwave!" Rowen shouted, sending the blast flying at him. An explosion resulted, but when the dust settled, he was still standing!
"Was that supposed to destroy me?" he asked.
"Yeah, but I think this is what you're looking for! Flare UP...NOW!" Ryo screamed, knocking him back with a blast of searing flame.
However, he recovered quickly and knocked the nine of them away with his blaster. The nine fell to the ground in pain.
"This guy's tough!" Kento said.
"We've got no choice. We should call on the Mecha Armor." Anubis said.
"Right." Ryo replied.
"What's the matter? You give up already?"
"Far from it." Anubis said.
The nine of them expected to have their sub-armor transform, but it did not!
"Huh? What's going on here?" Kento wondered.
"Where's Just Communication?" Sai asked.
"We can't summon our armor without it!" Rowen said.
"We thought so." Ryan said.
He motioned, and several Terra Venture soldiers emerged from the Megaship carrying two Japanese individuals.
"We captured Two-Mix! Now you can't summon your Mecha Armor!" Ryan shouted.
"Mecha Armor or not, you're still going down!" Ryo shouted. "Attack!"
The nine warriors charged once more at Ryan, but their attack was all for naught as the Titanium Ranger beat them down time and time again. The other Rangers had gathered to watch the battle, allowing a mysterious figure to sneak into the area.
"The Ronin and Warlords will most certainly loose if I do not free those two. I have to hurry!" Hyuuga said.
Suddenly he was blasted!
"What the?" he exclaimed.
Mike walked on the scene as the Magna Defender.
"You're not going to do anything." he said.
The two drew their weapons and began going at it while every attempt by the Forgotten Souls to reach the musicians was thwarted by minions. The Ronin and their companions got weaker by the minute as the Titanium Ranger beat the living daylights out of them. Mike was doing the same to Hyuuga. The minions mirrored the problem against the Forgotten Souls. It did not look good for our heroes. Day turned into night as the two opposing forces clashed time and time again.
"I win." Mike said as he knocked Hyuuga to the ground, causing him to de-morph, and held his sword at his throat.
Hyuuga closed his eyes as Mike prepared to finish him off. He heard a faint voice and footsteps rapidly approaching. They were almost metallic.
(Slowly cue up Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu)
"Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu, KUZU RYU SEN!" Navcase shouted as he slammed into Mike with his Armor of Ryuujin. Mike swung but he parried with the Ryu Sho Sen. Navcase leapt into the air and knocked him down with a Ryu Tsui Sen, and leaped some distance away and dispelled his armor. He went to Battou-Jutsu stance as Mike charged at him. Navcase drew his sword with one quick motion leading with the right foot but Mike managed to parry it, but he was unprepared for Navcase's sheath which knocked him upside the head and unconscious.
"What are you doing here?" Hyuuga asked as he helped him up.
"I am saving the Ronin. They must survive this and every other battle they fight." Navcase explained.
"Why?" Hyuuga asked.
"All will be revealed to them in time. Until then, sore wa, himitsu desu." Navcase replied as he freed Minami and Shiina.
With that the warrior ran off into the darkness.
"You two! Quick, you must sing the theme song from Gundam Wing before my friends are destroyed!" Hyuuga said.
"All right, if you say so. I don't know what it will do but we'll try." Minami said.
Shiina began playing the opening notes, and the Ronin almost snapped to attention.
(Just Communication kicks up)
"Now that's more like it. Good work Hyuuga." Ryo said.
The nine warriors' sub-armor transformed into Gundam Wing flight suits as usual and the nine called out the names of their armors. Within a matter of moments the forearms had locked into place, as well as the forelegs, torso, and with the donning of the helmets their armor completely powered up.
"Uh oh." Ryan said.
He fired blast after blast at the Ronin, but the blasts simply were absorbed by the Gundanium plating.
"Deathscythe, Command Line. Machinecannons online." Anubis said.
His twin Machinecannons emerged from his shoulders and he began opening fire on the various minions, wiping them out. The others assisted with their own Vulcan cannons and Ryo's own machinecannons.
Ryan attempted to get away, but Kento reached out and grabbed him with his dragon fang.
"Hey Ryo, those guns ready to rock?" he asked.
"Close enough." Ryo said, checking his HUD.
Taking the twin buster rifles, locking them together and attaching them to his shield arm, he aimed the thing at Ryan.
"Locked on target. Mission...Accepted." Ryo said.
Before Ryo could fire, a flurry of energy arrows nailed him, courtesy of the Lost Galaxy Rangers Beta Bows.
"Now Carter!" Leo shouted.
"Rail Rescues!" Carter shouted.
(Lightspeed Rescue theme kicks up)
The large trains behind the Megaship opened up, and Carter and his team leapt aboard. They deployed their Lightspeed Zords and interfaced them into the Megazord.
As the Ronin were distracted, Ryan managed to break free of Kento's grip and called in the Max Solarzord and took off into space. After charging up in the sun, he flew back into Earth's atmosphere and Carter grabbed onto the Shuttle with the Lightspeed Megazord. Placing the Battle Booster into a compartment, he entered 3-5-6 and hit activate.
"Lightspeed Solarzord Sequence, engage!" he shouted.
The Max Solarzord split into several pieces and locked up around the Megazord, forming a strange looking machine with several solar panels on it. It landed on the ground and towered over the Ronin.
"Let's get this guy. Fire!" Ryo shouted.
Everyone pulled out their still depleted beam weaponry and opened fire at the Lightspeed Solarzord, but it just absorbed the shots!
"Let's try something else." Ryo said.
The nine pulled out their ancient weaponry and began their kata motions.
"Flare Up...Now!" Ryo shouted.
"Iron Rock Crusher!" Kento added.
"Arrow Shockwave!" Rowen added.
"Thunder...Bolt...Cut!"
"Super Wave Smasher!"
"Quake With Fear!"
"Black Lightning Slash!"
"Snake...Fang...Strike!"
"Web of Deception!"
The nine fired, and the Forgotten Souls joined in with their sure-kill attacks. However, every last bolt got absorbed by the Megazord's panels!
"What's going on here?" Kento wondered. "Why isn't that thing blowing up like they usually do?"
"I think we're about to find out Kento." Anubis said.
As if in answer several weapons came on line. Carter fired, nailing our heroes with hundreds of energy blasts, knocking the Ronin and Company out of armor. The other Rangers closed in on the warriors, with their Transblasters ready to fire.
"Let them go." Shuki said.
"What? Again?" Carter said. "We've got them right where we want them for the second time!"
"These warriors are very resourceful and there's no telling where that accursed rurouni is. Withdraw and return to base." Shuki said.
"But sir..." Carter asked.
"NOW!" Shuki shouted.
"Sorry Ronin, we've got to go. Enjoy your defeat!" Carter said.
With that the Megazord disengaged and the Solarzord flew off. The Lightspeed Zords entered their respective Rail Rescues and the Rangers hopped into the Megaship and blasted off.
"Ow...That hurt..." Kento said as he struggled to get up.
"Talk about devastation..." Rowen added.
"Everyone all right?" Ryo asked.
"I guess so. Man, that was bad." Sage said.
"No kidding. They almost had us that time!" Sai added.
"We're practically knocking on Kami's front door." Kale added.
"No kidding." Sekhmet added.
"We have no time to waste." Anubis said.
"What?" Kento asked.
"What're you talking about Anubis?" Ryo asked.
"It seems that we are not powerful enough to fight them off this time." Anubis said.
"No way! We took down the Saiyans, we took down the Mystic Knights, heck we've been the winning team in every fight we've ever gotten into." Kento said.
"To remind you Hardrock, we reached a peace agreement with the Z Fighters and the Mystic Knights were boosted by the crystals and some unknown power source. So far these fighters haven't given off any kind of enhanced powers like those we scanned from the Mystic Knights." Anubis said.
"So what do you suggest we do?" Dais asked.
"Their mecha have practically destroyed us when they bring them out. The only possible option is to get our hands on some of our own." Anubis said.
"And just how are you going to get us mecha?" Kento asked.
"Hariel, have Dark Inferno hack into all available train schedules. Find out when the next shinkansen to Capitol City departs." Anubis said.
"Okay. But why?" Hariel asked.
"I've heard reports that there is a group of siblings there which possess advanced technology which is quite similar to that of the Rangers we've been fighting." Anubis said.
Hyuuga walked up.
"You're talking about the Tatsumi's. I've worked with them before. I'm sure they'd help you out. Gingaman and I broke into Shuki's base a while back in a rescue attempt along with the other sentai teams because Shuki had captured them. When we got to their cells they weren't there." Hyuuga said.
"You mean they were destroyed?" Kale asked.
"No, someone had freed them. We managed to break out of there just before some really tough minions came after us." Hyuuga explained.
"What kind of minions?" Sekhmet asked.
"We weren't able to get a good look. They projected some sort of fear aura when they came on the scene." he explained.
"That sounds something like what Asuka described during the cruise when Zhane attacked." Dais commented.
"Do you think that could have been the connection we felt when we fought the Mystic Knights?" Kale asked.
"It might be. But we've never been able to get a lock on it before our sensors get overloaded by the powerful Kenki." Ryo said.
"Anubis! The next train to Capitol City leaves in an hour." Hariel said.
"Good. Ronin, we must hurry and get to Capitol City at once." Anubis said.
"But why can't we use our armor and fly there?" Kento asked.
"Number one, Hyuuga can't fly. Number two, someone could see us. Number three, those Rangers could be in the area and take us out. Thus we must be discreet about our methods of transportation." Anubis explained.
"Let's get going." Ryo said.
"We'll meet you there." Hariel said.
With that the nine warriors took off for the train station.
Meanwhile...
(Shadow of a Doubt kicks up)
"There had better be a good reason why you keep withdrawing. Every time your warriors fight they get very close to destroying the Ronin and their allies." the mysterious being said.
"Trust me. I'm just biding my time. When Kinjiro finishes those new weapons for the Lightspeed team victory will be ours."
"Victory will be ours. Ha! That's what you said when Navcase freed the Tatsumi's. That's what you said when those sentai teams attacked. There were so many I had to personally come close to sacrificing some of my own warriors. I already lost one soldier during the assault on the cruise ship. I am not in the mood to lose any more. I need all the soldiers I can so that I can accomplish my plans." the being said.
"Relax. The way things are going I won't need your soldiers. I have a very useful plan to use on our enemies. I have instructed the Lost Galaxy team to cast the Keonta spell and send those foolish Ronin to the Lost Galaxy. While they are occupied there we can both make plans to destroy them should they find a way out." Shuki explained.
"You'd better be telling the truth about this. Otherwise I'll destroy you now." the being said.
Shuki and his mysterious ally have a diabolical plan in store for our heroes: send them flying into the Lost Galaxy. What lurks there? Will our heroes arrive in Capitol City in time? Find out as Ronin Warriors vs. Power Rangers Lost Galaxy/Lightspeed Rescue continues.
