Chapter 29

Flashing, a New Mode?

"Yuriko, what were you doing with Lan?" Ms. Mari asked her sister.

"I was on an assignment, Mr. Famous called up Lan and Maylu and had them come to help. Lan was actually helping a ninja assassain, and it was Maylu that was helping me and the princess but I didn't think you wanted the details in class." Yuriko said as to her sister.

"Why was Lan helping an assasain?" Ms. Mari asked.

"Well, Dusk is an assasain, along with the operator of Shadowman, and a member of the Order of Cross Fusion." Yuriko said and her sister triped over her own feet upon hearing that.

"So you mean you can?"

"Yes me and Spikeman can Cross Fuse." Yuriko said as they walked by Maha Ichiban and Lan just happened to walk outside, walking right into them.

"Ms. Mari, Ms. Yuri sorry!" Lan said when he realized who he bumped into.

"Lan, I don't like being called Ms. Yuri, my name is Yuriko, and please remind Mr. Famous of that as well." Yuriko said smiling at Lan.

"You know I don't think Mr. Famous likes the Mr. part." Lan said as he waved by to his teacher and skated of towards Sci Lab. When he was suddenly teleported to the Command Comet. "Oh hi Slur, Duo." Lan said realizing where he was.

"Lan why have you and everyone else avoided comming to the Comet at all costs?" Duo asked looking at all the rangers.

"Well you see, we have had work to do for school, plus I have to do stuff as a Net Saver." Lan said scratching his head.

"That is no excuse! You have all of these new abilities, me and Slur would like to know where they came from!" Duo barked.

"Well I don't think I can tell you!" Lan shouted before teleporting himself back to earth.

"Neon Lights!" Demon Flashman shouted as he fired his attack at the Elec Tower.

"Inferno Striker!" Lan shouted as he speed towards the Demon Navi and sliced at him. However Flashman blocked the attack with his wrist guards.

"Flash Lights!" Flashman shouted as he summoned two light bulbs that started to flash.

"Battlelizer Chip In! Beat Mode!" Lan shouted as he quickly slotted in the Battlelizer chip and activated the Beat Mode. He lept in the air at the exact moment the lights would of exploded and paralyzed him. "Beat Flap!" Lan shouted as his wings started to flap, sending feathers flying at Flashman.

Flashman quickly started to dodge these feathers. "I guess I need to try Tango Mode!" Lan shouted and his Battlelizer started to glow green and it shifted to Tango Mode.

"Flash Shocker!" Flashman shouted as he slamed his fist into the ground sending electricity across the ground stunning Lan. "Neon Lights!"

After Lan was hit by the Neon Lights he fell back panting. He raised his morpher and returned to Inferno Mode, summoning his weapon as well. "Inferno Slicer!" Lan shouted fireing the blade at Flashman, breaking his guards.

"Neon Lights!" Lan again was not able to dodge the electric attack.

"Lan!" Maylu shouted as her, and the other Duo Rangers ran up to him. "Tesla and the others won't be here because Dr. Regal sent another navi for them to fight." Maylu said helping Lan up.

"Fast Forward!" Demon Videoman shouted as he started to dodge the attacks of the Duo Tech Rangers easily. "GO DUO TECH RANGERS!" Videoman suddenly shouted as he fired three projections of Duo Crimson, Duo Yellow, and Duo Purple. "Attack my rangers!"

"Not copies of us!" Tesla complained as she fired he Mag shockers at one of he copies, who did the same.

"Yeah they like to imitate us." Nenji said as he was being ganged up on by the three copies of himself.

"Malyu I have an idea!" Lan said as an image of Rush Flashed in his helmet.

"What?"

"Can I borrow Rush? I'll let you use my striker!" Lan said as he noticed that next to Rush's image was the words Rush Mode, Battlelizer.

"What do you mean?"

"Just raise your morpher and aim it at mine." Lan said as he tossed the Inferno Slicer into the air.

"Ok." Maylu said as she did as Lan said.

"Battlelizer Rush Mode!" Lan shouted as a beam of gold light shot from Maylu's morpher to Lan's. His boots were covered in red armor, as were his gloves. Then pink flames appeared so they would be visable under the red armor that had covered the original red and orange ones, above his boots and gloves. A red chest plate appeared on him with what looked like Roll's emblem but was a red heart with a black background. A pair of jetpack boosters appeared on his back, and his helmet took on a distinctly canine appearance. His helmet became covered by a smaller version of his zord's head.

Maylu cuaght the Inferno Slicer barely and it instantly transformed into Strikermode. She looked at the arm blades, and skates that she now had on, then stared down Flashman.

"Rush Buster!" Lan shouted as he raised his hand to try out his new buster, it was as fast as the Tango Buster, but as strong as his Duo Buster.

"Neon Lights!" Flashman shouted again, fireing lights at Maylu and Lan.

"Rush Router!" Lan shouted as he touched the ground causing the lights to fall under into one, and the shot out behind Flashman from another.

"Inferno Striker?" Maylu shouted unsure of herself, she shot forward and the Striker blades caught on fire and she slashed Flashman in half. However instead of growing larger he vanished in a puff of smoke.

The Inferno Striker returned to Slicer mode and vanished. Light shot from the chestplate of the Battlelizer and turned back into Maylu's morpher. "Maylu, Jasmine, Ribbita. Lets go help Tesla and the others."

Lan and Maylu stood atop a building watching Videoman and the others fight. Jasmine and Ribbita were standing on the building across from them. "Maylu I think I should use Rush mode once more." Lan said as he raised his morpher to accept the energy. Maylu nodded and the light shot from hers to his.

"Rush Burner!" Lan shouted as the jet pack boosters ignited and Lan shot down the side of the building with his armor building up heat. He slammed directly into Videoman crushing the projector and destroying the projections.

Maylu and the other two jumped down and landed at the base of the buildings they were on. "Roll Bow!"

"Toad Stars!"

"Medic Cannon!" They shouted summoning their weapons. Lan had reverted to Inferno Mode and summoned the Slicer.

"Maylu, Lets try a new formation!" Lan shouted.

"Right!" Maylu said as she tossed her bow into the air and the others followed. Lan tossed the slicer up and it attached to the under side of the medic cannon, and folded out to form what looked like another bow, with the rest forming as normal. The skates attached to the sides of the cannon with the wheels outward.

"Inferno Cannon!" They said in unison when they formed the weapon and fired it at Videoman. However when they pulled the trigger and the blast was fired Flashman suddenly appeared and was completely disentigrated.

"Lan, may we help?" Tesl asked holding the Duo Tech Blaster.

"Why not!" Lan shouted as he tossed the Inferno Cannon into the air. The Duo Tech Blaster split and attached to th sides of the Inferno cannon, after the skates detatched and the reattached to the top of the Cannon with the wheels pointed towards the sky, diaganally away from each other. "Inferno Max Cannon!" They all shouted as they stood behind lan and he pulled the trigger, causing the energy to build up, when it fired the blast collided with Videoman causing him to burst into flames.

"Time for them to grow as one! The supreme navi, Vashman!" Dr. Regal shouted as he hit a button on his chair. His face appeared on the battle field, then Flashman, and Videoman merged and grew.

"I am Vashman!" The merged navi shouted as he went to step on the rangers. Vashman, had Flashman's wrist guards, and boots but Videoman's color scheme. His projector had Flashman's bulb in the center of the top of the projector.

"DUO MAX MEGAZORD!" The rangers shouted as they summoned their zords and combined them.

"Lan, how about a similar stategy to last time? Tesla asked.

"Duo Max Slicer, Duo Max Fire Storm, and Inferno Power?" Lan questioned.

"Lets try to avoid you blacking out, I have a feeling you've probably reached your limits, as far as Inferno Power is concerned." Maylu said.

"Actually if we do it all at once then we can avoid that." Lan said as he put his hands on the console.

"Duo Max Slicer!"

"Duo Max Fire Storm!"

"Inferno Storm!" Charlie, Nenji, and Lan shouted respectively. The propeller started to spin at incredible speeds and then fired at Vashman, the shoulder cannons started to fire rapidly, and then everything started to glow red and lasers and flames shot forth. When the attack died down Lan was still in his ranger form, but was out of energy. When the smoke cleared there were two orbs of light that flew off. However Half a building was destroyed, but luckily no one was hurt.

"We did it, and Lan is still standing." Charlie laughed.

Yuriko and Ms. Mari walked together to Ms. Mari's apartment building which unfortunately was the one that the fight between the Duo Max, and Vashman. "Sister, I have a question, where are you going to stay if your apartment is completely destroyed." Yuriko asked.

"Do you have anywhere in mind?" Ms. Mari asked staring up at her apartment complex.

"Um, well I have a small place, not that great but until they fix your's you are more than welcome to stay." Yuriko said.

"Thanks." Ms. Mari said hugging her sister as they set off towards Yuriko's apartment.
