Chapter 30

Return of the Dead?

"Lan wake up! Why do you always have to sleep during Ms. Mari's important lectures?" Maylu shouted into Lan's ear, waking him up.

"What? Sorry!"

"I mean normally I expect it of you but we are the ones responsible for this announcement after all." Malyu whispered.

"What?"

"We are the ones who helped destroy half of a building, that just happened to contain Ms. Mari's apartment in it with a giant robot." Maylu whispered getting a bit angry at Lan.

"Sorry." Lan said quitely.

"As I was saying, I might be late for school, every once in a while but that is only because my apartment was completely destroyed by some powerful atttack. But until it is repaired, Maylu will be responsible for roll call at the normal start of school if I am not here." Ms. Mari said to the class.

"Duo, do you have any idea where Lan gets this stuff?" Slur asked.

"Actually I do, there is only two people I can think of that would be capable of creating the gadgets of his." Duo said.

"Who?"

"Dr. Albert Wily, or Dr. Yuuichirou Hikari!" Duo said calmly. "And I have a feeling that it was Dr. Hikari that made them, after all Dr. Hikari is his dad." Duo added.

"So his dad has been helping them out?"

"I beleive so."

"Lan, I think that your Battlelizer won't be functional much longer. The navis you've been fighting with it, gave it a good beating." Yuuichirou said as he ran a diagnosis on the Battlelizer chip.

"So does that mean it will break soon?" Lan asked.

"That is exactly what it means." Yuuichirou said when the alarm sounded and Lan looked up to see some Nosey viruses, and none other than Vineman causing trouble.

"We destroyed Plantman already? What is going on?" Lan asked confused.

"No time to wonder!" Maylu shouted as she ran into the room. "We need to go imediately, the R- Speeder should get us there in time to stop him from doing to much damage!" Maylu said as she morphed.

"Duo Blue Inferno Mode!" Lan shouted as he morphed he then grabbed the vehicle chip off of the control panel and ran out side. He slotted it in and the R- Speeder apeared in front of him and Maylu.

"Pyro Blasters, Fire!" Lan shouted as he speed around the corner after slotting a fire chip into the elem blaster slot.

"We all think a like don't we Lan?" Jasmine asked as she speed around another corner firing her R-Slider's pyro blasters, and so was Ribita who can from a third direction.

"Maylu, Fire!" Lan shouted as he noticed Maylu had summoned her bow, and had some how figured out how to keep the cycle under control, and hold her bow properly. She pulled back, and fired several arrows at the Plantman. Tesla, Charlie, and Nenji had just arrived and started to take out the Nosey viruses.

"Napalm Blasters!" Nenji shouted summoning his weapon, and they attached to his arms as he fired rapidly, as a giant Nosey appeared. Tesla and Charlie were using their weapons to take out the smaller Nosey's.

"Lan, now!" Maylu shouted, Lan's cycle suddenly stopped as Lan lept up and he summoned his Inferno Striker. Lan sped straight at the giant Nosey and sliced it in half. With in minutes only Plantman was left. The rangers stood ready to battle with Plantman. They all had their weapons aimed at him, and Lan was in position to jet foward and attack.

"Yellow Flowers!" Plantman shouted as he summoned several flowers that exploded. The polen somehow luckily didn't penetrate their helmets so they weren't affected. "Thorn, shooter!" Plantman shouted as he fired his thorns from his vines at the rangers, hitting all but Lan and Maylu.

"Inferno Stiker!" Lan shouted shooting forward to slice Plantman up only to be caught by some vines and tossed across the street.

"Well if my Striker won't work than it is time for the Battlelizer!" Lan shouted as he disengaged the striker and slotted in the Battlelizer chip. "Beat Mode!" Lan shouted ingageing the first mode. He flew up and then flew straight at Plantman. " Beat Flap!" Lan shouted as he started to flap his wings causing Plantman to be blown into a wall as the metal feathers shot forward piercing his Leaf shield and removing one of his vines.

"Tango Mode!" Lan shouted switching over to the second mode. He speed toward Plantman who had regenerated his Leaf Shield and started to fire more thorns.

"Tango Slash!" Lan shouted as he jumped over the thorns smacking them away with his tail, when he was right infront of Plantman he slashed one of Plant's arms off.

"VInes!" Plantman shouted as touched the ground with his remaining vine and hand, his vines shot out of the ground and grabbed Lan, and Maylu sending them into a wall on the other side of the street.

"Maylu NOW!" Lan said as he stood up. "RUSH MODE!" Lan shouted as the gold light shot from Maylu's morpher activated Lan's final Battlelizer mode. "Rush Burner!" Lan shouted shooting forward, his jet boosters ignighted as he was surrounded with a red flame. His slammed into Vineman who screamed in pain as he exploded. But instead of dissapearing, Dubbleman stood in his place. 'What the?" Lan shouted confused.

"Bubble Drill!" Dubbleman shouted as he fired several blue drills that slammed into Lan and drilled into the armor before fireing several explosive bubbles sending Lan flying backwards. A few drills also hit the weakened Maylu sending her flying.

Suddenly a dimensional area formed and a figure in a Black Cloak leaped from the top of a building, grabbed Lan, and Maylu, then lepted over Dubbleman sliceing him several times causing him to explode and his spheres shatter. The Figure landed ontop to the building above where the navi was destroyed. "Sorry about that but I think this will cause more harm than good.." he said as he took the Battlelizer chip, and somehow reverted Lan to Infernomode. "That mode is troublesome." the figure said before jumping off the building and running off, right before the dimensional area vanished.

"Who was that?" Maylu asked sitting in Sci Lab.

"I have no clue. But somehow he took away my ability to activate Inferno mode." Lan said.

"But that doesn't make any sense. He stole the Battlelizer chip, and took away the Inferno mode. I figured that some one might try to steal the chip, but I have no clue how someone could take away Inferno Mode." Mr. Famous said.

"Plus he deleted Dubbleman by slashing the air with a sword." Lan said.

"He did more than that, he destroyed their data spheres, all three of them, Dubbleman's and Plantman's." Yuuichirou said looking at some battle footage.

"What are data spheres?" Lan asked.

"I believe it is what gives them the ability to grow, and regenerate. I think that Regal and Shademan must of captured the spheres to use when you were not expecting to fight those that you already destroyed." Mr. Famous said.

"So we have a lot of navis to fight again?" Lan asked.

"It is a possibility." Yuuichirou said.

"Was everyone on time today Maylu?" Ms. Mari asked as she walked in.

"Yes Ms. Mari, I had to drag Lan here with me so I could make sure he wouldn't be late." Malyu said pointing at Lan's red ear.

"Well I guess it is good that everyone was here on time, but I don't think you needed to literally drag Lan." Ms. Mari said laughing slightly.

"It's not funny, my ear hurts!" Lan shouted.

"So it looks like Lan no longer has two of his new toys. He is down to just using the bikes his dad made them." Slur said.

"Yes but who took them from him? That is but another puzzle for us to solve." Duo said.

"Regal has started to reuse his demons." Slur said.

"I know and this time they are alot stronger, it seems like they could of been infused with viral data, in order to take their physical shape again." Duo said staring at an image of the cloaked figure.
