A/N: Here is Chapter 45 of our story! I hope you are ready…
Previously on Poké Rangers Relic Hunters…
The rangers dealt with a fossilized Cedric as they learn more about the consequences of not retrieving one of the most important artifacts. The Ranger Slayers then tricked the Weather Syndicate in stealing the artifacts to combine with the Red and Blue Orb to create an ultimate monster. The ultimate monster robot slaughtered the zords, which leads the rangers powerless. Cedric, meanwhile, is stuck in another dimension, where he must face his own inner demons…
A few hours passed since the battle occurred. The rangers were sitting down with Max, who was surprised at the power of the Hoenn Legendary Megarobo and how much damage it caused. Max froze as he turned to JT, who shrugged.
"Well… they did it again," said JT, looking at the diagrams. The rangers stood in shock as they saw every zord with a red dot, "Justen knew exactly where to hit. Here's the good news though…"
"Good news is fun," said Zander, turning to JT.
"Because of the Genesect CPU you collected earlier, we were able to accelerate the process in repairing. Three weeks of work has been condensed to 8 hours," said JT, "But, we will have to do a few tests."
"Great," said Urara, looking at the screen, "We can also find a weak spot."
"Well," said JT, "I need you, Urara… especially after what happened with the Sentinel Knight. That sword was unlocked, but only temporary… we need to find the cause to remove whatever the Slayers did."
"True," said Urara, scratching her chin, "I was able to use it… and then they cut me off at the knees. We can run tests."
JT nodded as he pressed a button on his Dino Morpher, "Hey, Ray… we are going to need you to run some tests on the Sentinel Sword."
"On my way…," said Ray, over the intercom.
Lamar turned around as he looked at Zander, "So… this is going to be interesting. Waiting here until they strike without a weapon."
Zander turned around, "And what do you think is the best option? Go in without zords and guns blazing?"
"Guys," said Grace, slamming her hands on the table, "We can't argue over something that is NOT in our control…" She turned around as she looked at the red ranger, who was scratching his chin. He stood up as he looked at the five rangers, "This was a curveball for sure."
"Alright, chief," said Lamar, looking at Seb sarcastically, "What's the plan?"
"Wait…," said Seb.
Lamar looked at him in surprise. Rachel nodded slowly as she turned around, "I agree."
"You agree?" asked Lamar, looking at Rachel, "We need to take action."
"… And what will that do?" the yellow ranger asked.
Immediately, Lamar kept his mouth shut as he looked at both rangers. Seb turned around as Urara got up from her chair, walking with JT to the elevator. Grace turned around as she looked at Seb, "I hope Cedric is okay…"
"He will get through it. We believe in him… we owe him that," said Seb, looking at the fossilized statue.
Meanwhile…
Cedric was dodging and swinging from Metallico's saber. Metallico laughed as he swung the saber. Cedric ducked as the blade dodged, busting the side of the wall. Cedric rolled under as he looked up, seeing Metallico point his saber at him.
"You're weak… just like you were when I first met you," he said, "And to think, Master Hades sold your soul to be one of us!"
Cedric laughed as he grabbed the saber with his legs and tossed the blade to the floor, "I'm a changed man now, Metallico."
Metallico went to strike again, only for Cedric to jump and flip over, landing on the side of a rock wall, bouncing to do a leap side kick to the face. Metallico stumbled as he landed on the ground. Cedric landed on the ground with his face, dripping with sweat.
"Let's go!" shouted Cedric.

Chapter 45: The End of the Slayers
Chloe and Celia walked into their Hoenn Legendary Megarobo. Sitting down in the cockpit, Celia turned around as she looked at Chloe, "Are we ready?"
Chloe nodded as she pressed a few buttons, "Let's show Slateport who's boss."
Immediately, Celia and Chloe pressed buttons as the Megarobo started moving across waters, heading toward Slateport City's proximity range. They can see buildings in front of them. Immediately, there were loud sirens as people started running away. Pressing a button, the Megarobo released Precipice Blades underground, exploding a few buildings. They then crushed another skyscraper and stomped on another building. Flames occurred as Celia and Chloe continued their onslaught.
"Burn everything to the ground!" shouted Chloe.
"You bet!" said Celia, "Us criminals will rule the world now!"
Meanwhile…
The red lights turned on in Ranger HQ as they turned around. Urara stood there in shock as the others marched forward to see the screen. Seb stood there as he looked at Urara, "Shit… that was quick."
Urara turned around, "Something caused this to happen."
"I don't like it… it's a trap," said Zander.
Grace nodded as she turned around, "Yeah, I don't like it."
Seb turned around as he started fiddling his fingers. He gulped as he looked at them. He turned around as he went to carefully get up. Sneakily, he turned to see that they were still in awe of what was going on. Walking away, he started walking toward the transporter hallway. As the door opened, Seb walked inside as he shut the door. He pressed a green button, locking the door. He turned around as he went to touch the transporter console, setting it for the zords. He pressed the button as the white lights under the transporter started kicking. He stood on the panel as a red light appeared around him, teleporting away.
The red light around him appeared inside the Metagross Zord. He looked at the cockpit as his Relic Driver appeared. Placing it in the cockpit, he sat down as he looked at the screen.
"… This is a personal matter…," said Seb, "… Thank you everyone."
Meanwhile…
The girls were laughing as they destroyed half of the piers and businesses on the southeast side. They were about to continue towards the Slateport Market.
"Burn that thing to the ground!" shouted Celia, "Let's make everyone bow!"
"Gladly," said Chloe, "Ice Beam!"
Before she went to press the button, the robot shook as they turned around, noticing the Metagross Zord throwing a Meteor Punch in the armor. Turning around the Scizor Zord and the Steelix Zord were fighting along.
"There are still more zords?" asked Celia.
"Correction, there are three left," said Seb, turning to Celia, "Celia and Chloe, seeing you helped with Nick and Justen, it looks like I will have to take you two down in order to save my cousin. Emergency Adventure Fusion!"
Meanwhile…
"What in the world?" asked Lamar, noticing the Detector Megazord facing the Megarobo, "Who's operating it from here?"
Grace turned around as she looked at the table. She turned around as she noticed the red light on the elevator door. She then turned to see there were only four other rangers, "Seb did this."
"Seb?" asked Lamar, turning to the screen, "But, why is he facing them on his own?"
Grace looked down as she was rubbing her chin. She looked up as she then turned to the screen. She turned to see Urara, who was sitting there in shock, but at the same time, saw what was going on. Urara looked at Grace, "I think we have an answer."
"Answer?" asked Grace.
"I see that Seb is fighting while modifying… modifying what is the question?" asked Urara.
Grace turned around as she reached for her Relic Detector, "JT, how long until our zords are done?"
"The zords are finished… but its going to take at least another half hour to reinstall the fusion drives," said JT.
Grace nodded as she looked at her morpher, "Okay… understood."
Back in the underworld…
Cedric kept dodging as Metallico continued to go on the offensive. Metallico lunged with his sword as Cedric was against the wall. Rolling to his right, Metallico stabbed the sword into the wall. Cringing, he tried to break free as he tried to get out. Metallico laughed as he turned around, looking at him.
"Cedric, you can still join us," he said, laughing, "There's still some power in you left."
Cedric laughed as he looked at him. Sweat was dripping from his head as he looked at Metallico. Turning to his right, he noticed a silver axe that was on the ground. Picking it up, he wielded the axe as Metallico broke free from the wall. He turned around as he looked at Cedric. His smile was creepy, making Cedric uncomfortable. But, he had to hold his composure and stay strong. He looked at Metallico as he gripped the axe, "I would prefer to fight with my friends and be free."
"Well," said Metallico, "I guess I do not have a choice… you won't leave alive."
Cedric nodded as he dashed forward with the axe…
Meanwhile…
The Hoenn Legendary Megarobo released a blast of red energy that pierced the Detector Megazord's armor. Stumbling, Seb controlled the Megazord as he pressed a few buttons. The Steelix arm began to spin as it struck the Megarobo in the arm.
"Meteor Shower!"
Stretching out both arms, silver and pink meteors shot out of the Detector Megazord, piercing the Megarobo. Celia and Chloe screamed as they tried to fight back.
"Triple Flash Cannon!" shouted Seb.
Three beams of energy were unleashed, combining into one blast of energy. As the energy combined into one burst of power, a barrier was formed as the beam pierced into the Detector Megazord. The Megazord crashed into a few buildings as it landed on the ground. Celia and Chloe laughed as they turned to each other and then at Seb.
"Seb… give it up!" shouted Celia.
"You can't beat this creature," said Chloe, "Surrender… we don't want to scrap this robot as well. The others have been fun to destroy!"
Seb laughed as he looked at them. His head lifted from the ground as he had a bloody cut on his forehead. Some blood was dripping down as he looked at the Megarobo, "Chloe and Celia… sadly, you fell right into my trap… I do have one trick left."
He turned around as he went to press a few buttons. Turning off audio communications, he pressed a red button as he looked at the Megarobo. Gulping, he swiped his keycard on the Relic Driver and pressed the button. Immediately, the engines in the Detector Megazord started to increase as Seb managed to get the Megazord back online.
Meanwhile…
"What?" asked Urara, looking at her laptop.
"What's up?" asked Grace, looking at Urara as she was on her computer. She turned around as she looked at Grace, "The engine level has increased exponentially."
The red doors opened as the rangers turned around. Ray was dashing toward the group as he looked at them. Max and Jack turned to each other as Ray was taking a huge breath. Max walked over, "What's up?"
"Seb disengaged the safety protocols in the Detector Megazord," said Ray, "He's activated the engines to overload… causing a self-destruct sequence."
"So, he's going to blow himself up?" asked Grace, looking at Ray, eyeing him. Ray nodded as he looked at Grace. Grace sighed as she tried not to panic, "Well… that's not good."
"It isn't," said Ray, looking at the engine, "The Detector Megazord has a unique engine almost similar to a nuclear bomb…"
Zander turned around as he saw the battle footage. He looked up as he saw the Detector Megazord grab the Megarobo, heading straight towards Ever Grande Island. He turned around as he looked at the others, "He's going to take the Megarobo out to sea and blow it up right there."
"But, hundreds of lives will be affected by it," said Urara, "It can't lift up from space."
"That whole southern part of the region will be a wasteland in ten minutes…" said Ray, looking at Grace, "You might want to save your boyfriend from making a reckless decision."
Grace looked at him, "Are the zords done?"
"Yep… just give me time on the fusion install drives," said Ray.
Grace turned to the others as she grabbed her Relic Detector, "Let's roll, team!"
Meanwhile…
As the Detector Megazord threw the Megarobo on the outside island of Ever Grande, Celia and Chloe hung on as they tried to manage the Detector Megazord. Red sparks surrounded the Detector Megazord as it latched on. The Megarobo tried to strike back, but it was clamped. Down below, Justen, Nick and Brent turned around to see what was going on.
"Why is that thing here?" asked Justen, "Cedric is still gone…"
"Unless, Seb is using it," said Nick, turning around.
He turned to see the Weather Syndicate, who was watching the whole battle. Archie, impressed, was looking at the battle. He grinned as he turned to them, "It looks like if Seb blows up your zords, what are you going to do?"
"Yeah," said Maxie, turning around as he marched toward them, "Maybe you should work for us…"
"No," said Silva, looking at them, "You will work for me."
Justen, Nick and Brent looked at each other. Immediately, they drew blasters as they pulled the triggers, shooting each one of them down. As they landed on the dirt, Justen laughed as he looked at them, "Sorry, but I don't listen to no one. Let's go!"
Justen and Nick laughed as they jumped down to the beach, heading down to the robot. Brent turned around as he went to walk. As he went to leave, he stood in front of Darcie. Darcie looked at him as Brent turned to him, "I gotta go…"
"Why do I have a feeling you don't want to do this?" asked Darcie, looking at him.
"Because their plan to blow up the world is not ideal?" asked Brent.
Darcie laughed as she turned to him, "I hate to say it, but it looks like you are done playing Ranger Slayer."
Brent turned around as he looked at her, "You don't know my heart."
"Your face says everything," said Darcie, grinned, "Actually, if you really want to make a fool out of them… I would sabotage that whole entire artifact that is probably implanted in your robot. But, that's just me!"
As Darcie started to walk away, Brent took a deep breath as he started jogging down the hill. As he went to walk away, he noticed Seb, who was sitting in the cockpit, fighting with the Megarobo. Standing to stare, he took a breath as he continued walking toward the robot. Pressing the red button, the door open as he got in through the foot. Just in time for the robot to move, landing on the ground, the door closed behind him. He carefully climbed up the ladder as he made the cockpit. Justen and Nick turned around as Brent arrived.
"What took you so long?" asked Justen.
"Just thinking about things," said Brent, "Shall we?"
"No way…," said Seb, on the intercom, "You break free… I press this button. This button will not also destroy your Megarobo, but it will destroy literally the whole southeast region of Hoenn. This goes out to everyone who lives in this area, you might want to vacate."
"You would destroy part of the region just to get rid of us," said Nick, looking at Seb, shaking as he turned to him, "Are you mad?"
"… You were radical enough to destroy our zords, take my cousin away from me into purgatory… it makes sense that doing this will show how evil you've become and if I have to sacrifice everything for it, I will… so surrender your robot or you can say goodbye to everything," said Seb, looking at him.
Chloe and Celia turned to Nick. Nick turned to Justen and then Justen turned to Brent. Brent was shaking in his boots as he went to gulp. He felt sick to his stomach as Justen turned around to look at Seb. He turned around as he sat down in the cockpit.
"Go ahead, Seb… make my day," said Brent.
Seb took a deep breath as he went to press the button, "Well… it was nice knowing you!"
As his finger went to push, pink beams arrived, piercing the Megarobo as the Megarobo broke free. The Detector Megazord stumbled back as it turned around. The Gallade and Manectric Zords arrived as they went to strike.
"Turn that device off!" shouted Grace.
"Grace?" asked Seb, "Rachel?"
"You honestly were going to blow up the whole portion of the region?" asked Rachel, "You are not pressing any buttons today."
Seb turned around as he looked at them. He gulped, "Okay… Well, we'll go together."
As he pressed the button, nothing happened. Seb looked around as he felt the engines starting to turn down. He looked as the Sceptile Zord arrived.
"I hacked in and cut off your plan," said Urara, looking at Seb, "Guess we'll all die together!"
"She's right, Seb," said Lamar, in the Houndoom Zord, "We aren't going down without a fight and we are going down together."
"I second that," said Zander, "Let's do it, team."
Seb grinned as he turned around, "You guys didn't have to. Sorry for being reckless."
"At least," said Nick, laughing from the other side, "We can handle you all in an instant."
Max's voice appeared as the Blaziken Zord appeared next to the Detector Megazord. Max sat down in Ranger HQ with his microphone, "All zords are ready but you will need to give us at least five minutes."
"Gladly," said Seb, turning to the rangers, "Team, take down that robot! No prisoners…"
The rangers nodded as all eleven zords plus the Detector Megazord went into attack position. Seb nodded as he pressed a button, "Attack!"
Meanwhile…
Cedric pushed Metallico down with his axe. As he tried to push him down, Metallico kicked him repeatedly. Cedric landed on the ground as Metallico went to twirl his sword. As Cedric dodged, Metallico stabbed the stone into the ground. He then turned around as he cringed, he looked to see an axe edged in his back. Cedric took a deep breath as Metallico went to fall.
"Good riddance," he said.
Suddenly, a black aura surrounded him as Metallico laughed. A red aura surrounded him as his form magically appeared. Cedric stood in aghast, noticing who it was.
"You've been fighting me this whole time," he said.
"Incinizard… this was all your doing," said Cedric.
"Let's go!" shouted Incinizard.
Back in the battlefield…
The Megarobo was attacked by all sides as each zord used its special attack. Immediately, the Megarobo turned around as he then looked at all fourteen zords.
"Blast Burn!"
"Shadow Ball!"
"Hydro Cannon!"
"Charge Beam!"
"Psycho Cut!"
"Frenzy Plant!"
The six zords released beams of flames, shadows, water, thunder, psychic and vines together as the Megarobo was hit.
"Quickly…," said Seb, turning around as he looked at the auxiliary zords, "Auxiliary Zords!"
"Beedrill, Signal Beam!" shouted Rachel.
"Gyarados, Hydro Pump!" shouted Grace.
"Heracross, Megahorn!" shouted Lamar.
"Abomasnow, Blizzard!" shouted Zander.
"Aerodactyl, Hyper Beam!" shouted Seb.
The five auxiliary zords targeted the same wounds, piercing the Megarobo. The Megarobo was exploding from the inside as the Ranger Slayers held on. Immediately, a golden flash appeared as the Sentinel Sword slashed across increasing the wounds of the Megarobo. Explosions appeared around it as the Slayers hung on.
"They are attacking us form all directions! There is no way," said Chloe.
"I won't lose…," said Nick, "Increase power!"
"They will take at least seven minutes to be back at full strength," said Urara, "Those damages are superficial if we attack repeatedly."
Suddenly, there was a signal from Jack on the intercom as Seb went over to look.
"Guys, the fusion installer is complete. Combine at any time," said Jack.
"Rangers … you know what to do!" said Seb.
"Understood!" shouted the rangers.
Back in the Underworld…
Incinizard released a black and red chain, smacking Cedric in the face. He then turned around as he grabbed him by the neck. Lifting him up, red and black energy bolts hit Cedric as he landed on the cold ground. Cedric laughed as he stomped on him. Cedric groaned as he kept stomping on him repeatedly. Cedric was then picked up and thrown to the ground. He looked up as Incinizard grabbed his head.
"You see… Cedric… I will always be a part of you," he hissed, "You sold your soul to me. You can help rebuild Hades the way it should be."
"The hell I will…," he said.
He then turned around as he grabbed his black and red saber, "Say goodbye."
Suddenly, a blast of blue flames appeared behind him as Incinizard lost his balance. He turned around as Cedric was released. Cedric looked up as a Reshiram arrived. He looked down as Reshimé jumped down with his Shadow Saber.
"Cedric!" shouted Reshimé.
Throwing the saber, Cedric caught it. A black aura surrounded his saber as it went to charge. Incinizard went to charge after him. Cedric followed suit. As the two jumped up, Incinizard went to slice. Cedric quickly leaned backwards as he flipped away, avoiding the attack. Cedric turned around as his saber charged.
"Shadow Strike!"
Stabbing Incinizard, he slashed his whole spine down. The creature roared as flames ignited, exploding into pieces. Cedric rolled across as he landed on the ground, seeing the fire and brimstone. He looked up, taking a breath. He turned around as Reshimé arrived. Hugging him, he looked at her, "Darling, are you real?"
"Yes," she said, tears forming, "I'm glad I was able to find you."
Cedric nodded as he looked at his saber, "I feel free… free now."
Reshimé nodded slowly, "I'm glad, honey."
"How did you find me?" asked Cedric.
Reshimé sighed as she looked at him, "I felt it… something wasn't right… so, Diana and I searched for you."
Cedric hugged her as he began to start tearing. She grinned as she was holding him, "It's okay… it's all over. However, I need you to hold back the tears."
"Why?" asked Cedric.
"While you were trapped, the rangers are facing the Ranger Slayers. The Red and Blue Orbs they talked about were used to create the ultimate monster. You need to help them. They won't last together," said Reshimé.
Cedric took a deep breath as he looked at the sky, noticing the dark walls, "How do I get out of this dimension without my shadow magic?"
Meanwhile…
Explosions surrounded the Relic Hunter Megazord as it was trying to stumble from the attack. Turning around, the Detector Megazord and the Relic Seeker Megazord were having the same problem. The Megarobo released ruby and sapphire beams of energy as they were hit. The cockpits blew up in each Megazord as the rangers tried to maintain order.
"At this rate," said Grace, looking at Seb, "We won't be able to survive another hit!"
"We need to keep going," said Zander, "For Cedric!"
"I agree…," said Urara, "Let's keep pushing forward!"
"I'm not retreating," said Seb, looking at the warrior, "Keep doing your best!"
The Megarobo swung its right hand as it began to glow a blue energy aura. In the cockpit, Celia and the others sat down together as they looked at Justen.
"Time for the final blow!" said Justen, looking at them, "Once they are gone, we will have total control of the region… and the world!"
Brent nodded as he went to press buttons, following Justen's orders. Brent looked down as he began to perspire. He looked up as he turned to Celia and then at Chloe. Nick turned around, "Brent, are we ready?"
Brent froze. He turned around as he saw the blue flashing light. He knew what was going to happen when pressed. He also knew what the ramifications were. But, he couldn't shake it off. He began to think of what happened months ago.
"I want my revenge, Seb… on you!"
"I won't fight you Brent," said Seb, "I can't."
"Why?" asked Brent, "You were guilty? Guilty of leaving me behind?"
"Yes," said Proton, "Thanks to you… I am able to now create my own army and take over Johto before we have another group of Poké Rangers."
Brent laughed, "Well… you don't want to mess with them."
Proton looked at him, "Do you want to stay alive? Do you want your friends alive?"
Brent said nothing as he looked at Proton. Proton nodded as he looked at him, "You are going to use these weapons and do more than just steal."
"No way….," said Brent, "I steal Pokémon for cash. I don't intend on killing anyone."
"I'll kill you if you don't."
Brent turned around as he noticed everyone was looking at him. Brent gulped as he went to press the button. Brent gulped as he looked at them, "Well, this is a suicide mission. Sorry, guys."
Pressing the button, a blue electrical surge surrounded the cockpit. Explosions surrounded the Megarobo as wires flew. The Ranger Slayers landed on the ground as Brent held on. Immediately, explosions pierced the armor as the Hunter Battleship arrived.
"Hey," said Cedric, "I am alive!"
"Cedric!" shouted the rangers.
"No time to explain… all out attack!" shouted Cedric.
The Megazords stood together as Urara turned around to press a button, "Boosters On!"
Engines boosted from the Aerodactyl Zord as the Megazord flew up. Floating upward, the Aerodactyl Zord wings split up as it turned into a bow. A green dagger arrived, transforming it into an arrow. Green energy surrounded the weapon.
"Relic Seeker Bow, Adventure Blast!"
The green arrow struck, heading straight for the Hoenn Megarobo. Explosions surrounded it as the Detector Megazord was next.
"Detector Megazord, Triple Flash Cannon!" shouted Seb.
Three beams of energy were unleashed, combining into one blast of energy. The Hoenn Megarobo armor exploded as the cockpit began to collapse.
"We need to evacuate!" shouted Nick.
As the team tried to get out, Celia was the last one to leave. As she went to open the door, an explosion appeared in front of her as she screamed, landing on the cockpit floor, unconscious. The Relic Hunter Megazord jumped on top of the Hunter Battleship.
"Relic Hunter Megazord, Battleship Overdrive!"
Using the Adventure Saber as shooting weapon, emerald beams shot out as the turrets were shooting out, combining as one attack. Beams pierced the Megarobo as it crumbled to the ground. Explosions surrounded them as screams appeared. The earth shook as the Megazords watched the flames erupt from the thick smoke. The Weather Syndicate stood there, outside in surprise.
"Well," said Archie, looking at them, "It was time for them to go anyway. Matt, Shelly…"
Matt and Shelly nodded as Archie started walking away. Maxie turned around as he looked at the wreckage silently. He shook his head as Courtney and Tabitha followed him. Silva turned around as he went to walk away with Jake and Darcie. Jake walked over as he looked at Silva, "Master, with that much power-."
"As you can see, Jake… they were too greedy. Let's go home. We'll talk plans later," said Silva.
Jake said nothing as he followed him back to the hideout. Darcie grinned as she turned around. She walked away, catching up to both of them.
Nick and Justen climbed out of the robot, seeing the debris explosion. Nick leaned to his left, noticing Chloe stumbling to the ground. Nick walked over as Chloe landed on the ground. Nick knelt down as Chloe looked up to see him.
"Nick…," she said, placing her hand on Nick's shoulder. Nick placed her palm as Chloe looked up. Nick turned around as he looked at her, "… Chloe."
Chloe nodded as she squirmed. Nick lifted his hands under her body. Standing up, he carried Chloe as he walked away from the wreckage. He turned around as he looked at Justen, who turned around to notice Brent and Celia on the ground. Justen shook his head as he looked at him, "Celia's dead, Brent's severely damaged."
Nick turned around as he looked over, tears pouring down as he turned to Justen. He then turned around as he looked at Chloe. Chloe's hands dropped as he turned around, "… Chloe…"
Justen turned to pick up the Deoxys Cup, containing the Red and Blue Orb, "We can bury them later. Right now, we got to release another one of these."
"I wouldn't take another step!"
Justen and Nick turned around as they looked up, seeing Seb and the others with their weapons.
"You…," he said, placing Chloe on the ground. He looked over at her as he placed his hand on her head, "I will avenge you."
Looking up, he turned around as he withdrew his saber. Brent, looked up, as he tried to get up from the ground. He then turned around as he went to take out his morpher. Justen noticed something as he saw the ripped scars. He then looked at the cup, "You did it…"
"What do you mean?" asked Brent.
"You severed the armor… you let your past get to you," said Justen, looking at him, "It makes sense how they were able to stop the ultimate robot."
Brent took a deep breath, turning to Seb. He then turned to look at Justen, "You went way too far, Justen. We wanted to use this technology… but I wasn't going to let you use this robot to destroy a whole planet, just so you can be a king."
Justen laughed as he looked at him, "Me? King?"
Brent nodded, "Yeah… Seb was right months ago… I should've listened to him."
Justen looked at Seb as he turned to him, "So… guess what I do to traitors?"
Urara turned around as she looked at him, "Justen… don't do it!"
"Urara, shut it!" shouted Justen, pulling out his red and black rifle. He placed a green shotgun shell as he turned to him. Brent reached for his pocket. As he picked up a device, Justen pulled the trigger. A green bullet shot out as Brent was hit. Brent released a black device, pushing the button. Red bolts surrounded Justen and Nick as Brent landed on the ground. Brent began to yell as green smoke surrounded him. Seb and the others hopped down as they dashed over toward Brent.
"… I did it! I managed to sever our grid. They are vulnerable to you now…," he said, disappearing in the gas.
Justen and Nick looked at each other, noticing their suits are back to their regular form. Nick turned around as he tried to press something on his left wrist, "It doesn't work."
Seb laughed as he turned around, "As a last resort… in order to save Cedric, Brent severed your power. So, here are your options. You can surrender and we can throw you into solitary confinement or… well, I don't even want to bring that option up. I don't want to do that."
Nick grinned as he grabbed his Tyranitar Saber. He looked at Seb as he was angrily, looking at him. Justen turned around as his Salamence weapon turned into a saber, "We choose the second option."
"I will destroy all of you," said Nick, "And my teammates will be avenged!"
"Let's do it," said Justen, turning to Urara, "And you are the first one to go."
Urara brought out her Scepter Dagger, stretching it out. Zander walked over with Grace, Rachel and Lamar. Justen laughed as he looked at him, "You really need to bring your friends?"
"We've been waiting for the day that we would avenge the person that changed Urara's life forever," said Lamar, looking at Justen, "Now's a good a time as any to finish you off!"
"We're one big happy family," said Rachel, turning to Urara, "You mess with one, you mess with all."
Nick turned to Seb and Cedric, who had their weapons out. Cedric turned around as he looked at Nick, "Let's settle this once and for all."
The wind picked up as the rangers stood across from them. As the wind increased speed, the Wingulls flew out as the rangers turned around to battle. Justen grabbed his sword as he went to strike Urara. Urara blocked with her dagger and then punched him in the stomach. Justen stumbled as he went to swing his saber. Urara dodged each move as she then swept across, knocking Justen down. Justen went to throw his sword across, only for Rachel to block it with her Thunder Scoopers. Justen stretched his hand as the sword returned to his hand. Rolling across, he released a blue and red aura from his saber.
"Draco Matrix!"
Five lines of energy were drawn as it combined into one beam. As the beam continued to head straight for Urara, Grace blocked the attack as her Psychic Cutters. A pink aura surrounded Grace as the energy barrier was formed. The barrier broke as Grace landed on the ground. Justen charged forward as he went to strike, only for Zander and Lamar to grab him by the arms. The two of them pushed Justen to the rock wall. Justen grumbled as he was trying to break free. Urara turned around as a pink aura surrounded her Scepter Dagger.
"Fairy Storm!" shouted Urara.
A cluster of green leaves surrounded by fairy dust combined into one blast of energy. Justen landed on the ground as he tried to get up. Succeeding, he slashed Lamar and Zander and then used his sword, slashing Rachel and Grace. He then turned around as he went to strike Urara. Urara performed a shoulder roll as she turned around, slashing his back. Justen yelled as he tripped and fell on the ground. Urara raised her Scepter Dagger, "Now… let's try something a little different."
Lamar nodded as he turned around, "Are we?"
"Yep!" shouted Urara.
Zander, Urara, Lamar, and Grace placed their hands in the center. Green, pink, blue and yellow auras surrounded their palms as the Scepter Dagger began to glow. Rachel nodded as she placed her hand on it. A red aura surrounded the dagger as Urara turned around. Justen stumbled as he went to strike.
"… So long," he said, "Draco Meteor!"
Repeated blasts of meteors were heading straight toward the team. Grace, Rachel, Lamar and Zander used their personal weapons to block the attacks. As the meteors split up. The four rangers jumped up with their weapons.
"Shadow Slammer!"
"Hydro Pump!"
"Thunder Strike!"
"Psycho Cut!"
A blast of water pierced Justen as he looked up, seeing Grace, Rachel and Lamar used their weapons. Dark, psychic and electric attacks surrounded Justen as he spun around. He then turned around as Urara's Scepter Dagger began to glow in a golden aura.
"Magi Giruma Magendo!" shouted Urara, "Mystic Solar Blade!"
Raising her saber, a green aura pierced the sky. Flames, fairy dust, rain, leaves and lightning bolts pierced Justen as he was hit. He then turned around as the green aura went directly down the middle of Justen's face. Justen roared as the energy transferred to Justen's body. His body erupted as he fell to his knees, exploding into pieces. Dropping to her knees, Urara took a deep breath.
"We did it," said Urara, taking a breath.
Meanwhile…
Nick swung his saber across, causing Seb to stumble as it casually missed. Flipping backwards, he spiral kicked Nick in the chest with full force. Nick landed on the ground as he dropped his sword. Looking up, Seb went to stab him with the Blaze Lance. Nick rolled away as he looked up seeing Cedric knock him down with his Meta Tector. Swinging the Meta Tector, Cedric slashed Nick across as Nick landed on the bedrock. Nick managed to land on two feet as his saber began to energize. A green aura surrounded it as he went to stab the ground. The bedrock began to shake as Cedric and Seb jumped away. Explosions erupted from the center as Cedric turned around to face Seb. Seb nodded as Nick began to release a green energy pulse. Seb spun his Blaze Lance as he reflected it. A golden aura surrounded it as Nick was hit. Nick landed on the ground, turning around to see Cedric. Nick lunged forward with his saber, causing Cedric to block it. Cedric elbow struck the saber and then punched him in the stomach. Nick landed on his knees as Cedric threw him down. Nick turned around as a green aura surrounded his body.
"He may have severed my power… but I am not done!"
He opened his mouth inside his helmet as a green electric pulse surrounded him, transforming into a Tyranitar like ranger. His claws struck out as he went toward them. He slashed Cedric and Seb simultaneously. Spinning around, Nick released a Hyper Beam. Cedric and Seb were hit, only for Seb to block it with his Blaze Lance. Closing his eyes, a golden aura surrounded him as he absorbed all of the energy. Nick stood there in surprise as Seb charged forward, wearing the Hoenn Battlizer.
"Huh?" he asked.
Cedric then arrived with the Hunter Armor and the Relic Crusher. Nick began to charge an emerald energy as he went to target Cedric. Nick looked up as Seb went to charge energy with the Sentinel Sword.
"Sentinel Sword, Delta… Draco… Strike!"
Creating a green full moon circle with the saber, Seb struck down. Draconic energy pierced through as Nick was hit. Nick stood immobilized as Cedric aimed his weapon.
"Bulldoze Combination Crush!"
A golden blast of energy pierced into Nick. Nick yelled as explosions surrounded him. Explosions flew across as Nick fell to his knees, landing on the ground. The rangers turned around as they met up, seeing the flames. Nick looked up as he went to look at the sunset.
"… All I wanted… was power… revenge," he said, looking at the sunset, "I guess… I lost."
His hands relaxed as his eyes closed. The waves crushed as the rangers were looking overhead.
"It's over," said Zander, looking at them, "Well, for them."
Later that evening…
The sun was setting off the coast of the island. The breeze was blowing back and forth outside the mouth of Victory Road. Seb turned around as he saw five graves dug deep. He turned around as Cedric finished burying Justen's body. He placed the tombstones on each of them as he looked at the others. The rangers sat there in silence as they walked over toward the graves.
"So…," said Zander, "Why did not let the police handle it?"
"It would've been… catastrophic," said Cedric, looking at him, "Besides, they had nothing to live for."
Zander nodded as he knelt down, looking at Celia's grave, "I can't believe you did this to yourself. Well, I hope you rest peacefully."
Grace nodded as she placed his hand on Zander's shoulder. The other rangers turned around as they were looking at the graves. Seb and Cedric nodded, looking at Nick and Brent's grave. Seb turned around, "Poor Brent… I could've turned him around."
"He was too consumed, Seb," said Cedric, "And sadly… as much as he wanted to say we killed humans… they would've been on the death penalty."
Seb nodded slowly as he then turned to Urara. Urara stood at the grave, looking at Justen's grave. She turned around as she took a deep breath. She then turned to Chloe's grave as she walked away, not giving or saying a word. Rachel walked over as Urara turned to her, "Are you going to be okay?"
"I can breathe now… knowing he's gone," said Urara, "I wanted him arrested, tried and punished… but I guess this is the way to go."
Rachel wrapped her arms around Urara as Urara started to sniffle a little. Rachel closed her eyes as she turned to her, "I don't understand what pain you went through and I am sure this will make you feel better… but that trauma will take time to heal… and you know that."
Urara nodded as she hugged her, "I know."
"How do you feel though?" asked Urara, looking at Cedric, "Incinizard gone… the Slayers gone…"
"I feel free," said Cedric, "No demons… no one controlling my darkness… and I can finally let the past go."
Seb nodded as he turned to them. Rachel looked at them, "Well, I am going to the Pokémon Center and rest. We have to head to Victory Road in the morning."
The rangers nodded as Rachel led the way. As the group left, Cedric looked over as he noticed the buried people. Cedric grinned as he threw a silver coin at Nick's grave. Turning around, he went to join him. The silver coin started to bury into the ground, with the sun illuminating it.
