A/N: Here is Chapter 8! Here we go!


In the woods of the Sinnoh Region, Sebastian landed on the ground as he had his backpack. Dressed with a black sleeveless shirt and blue jeans, he carried a brown crossbow in his hand. As he walked through the woods of the Eterna Forest, he turned around as he was looking at the map. Looking at the map, he saw the red lines as he was heading toward a castle that sat deep within the woods. As he snuck into the grass, dodging the grass Pokémon that were in the wild. He walked another two miles as he approached a stone castle. He grinned as he climbed up the stairs. Looking across, he noticed the steps. The steps were old and eroding. As he continued to climb, he noticed red spears heading toward him. He then took out his whip, smacking the spears.

Climbing up the stairs, he managed to get the top. He stood there, noticing a black and white scale that had a blue flame and a blue lightning bolt. He grinned as he walked up the stairs, grabbing the scale.

He then turned around as he noticed a familiar face. She touched his shoulder, "Seb? Wake up!"

Seb's eyes opened as he noticed all of the lights were bright red. Seb turned around, noticing Rachel, who was over him. The red ranger climbed out of his chair as he looked at the book he was reading. Lamar shook his head.

"You were so engrossed in the book, you fell asleep," said Lamar, "You even slept through the alarm."

"Alarm?" asked Seb.

"Yeah, Team Magma is on the rise," said Grace, looking over.

"What?" asked Seb.

"Yep," Zander said as he took the remote control and pointed it to the screen.

Seb looked up as he noticed the Hoenn Region on the map. Zooming in, the rangers noticed that the Weather Institute was shown on the map. Lamar turned around as Seb looked at the screen, "Why would Maxie want to attack the Weather Institute?"

"I don't know. But, get down there," said Jack, walking over to Seb, "Especially, you… sleepy head."

Seb smirked as he turned to the others, "Relic Hunters, move out!"

Chapter 8: The Terablaze Scale


Rain poured once again on Route 119 as the rangers dashed toward the Weather Institute. Unlike their last visit, the rangers noticed that it was all quiet in the Weather Institute. The rangers turned to each other as they looked at the building. Grace turned around as she heard slicing and screaming. As she dashed toward the loud noises, the other rangers followed her. The rangers stood in the open field as the Magma Grunts were fighting each other. Rachel turned around, looking to find a Magma Grunt on the ground. Trying not to scream, she backed into Lamar. Lamar grabbed her as she turned to see the grunt on the ground. Lamar scanned the creature with his Relic Detector, seeing a green line straight across.

"I hate to say this…," said Lamar, "The grunt is dead."

"Great… why are they killing each other?" asked Seb. He looked at the body and then he looked around as he noticed the other Magma Grunts slaughtered by each other. As they observe, a familiar face appeared near them.

"It's the ritual… the ritual of being a monster of our army."

The rangers turned around slowly. When they realized who it was, they struck a fighting pose. Tabitha grinned as he turned around, looking at them.

"Hello, rangers," said Tabitha.

Tabitha turned around as the last Magma Grunt was destroyed. Tabitha grinned as he dashed over. The rangers watched as Tabitha released a red and yellow scale. He grinned as he stabbed the Magma Grunt. The creature screamed as flames surrounded the creature. The rangers watched as the Magma Grunt began to enhance in a new creature. The rangers noticed that the Magma Grunt was a Charizard with its wings. However, flames of a Typhlosion emerged from its back. The legs were from a Blaziken and his fists were created from a Blaziken.

"Magma Commander Charquiken…. How do you feel?" Tabitha asked.

"Filled with power!" he shouted, laughing, "I am ready to do some damage!"

"Good," Tabitha said, turning around. The rangers stepped forward as Tabitha turned around. Charquiken laughed as flame rockets emerged. Seb and the others quickly grabbed their morphers and activated them.

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

As they morphed into their suits, the flame rockets impaled their suits as they landed on the ground. As the rangers turned around as they went to strike. However, a red aura surrounds the beast. Tabitha grinned as he turned around, "He wasn't the only creature."

Snapping his fingers, flames struck out as the Relic Hunters landed on the ground. Looking up, the rangers noticed two new creatures. The first creature was a humanoid Infernape but with Emboar designs. He also wielded a white stick with a flaming torch. The creature next to him was a humanoid Incineroar with ruby armor. However, he had white and yellow ears of Cinderace with blue stripes vertically down.

"Magma Commander Incinace!"

"Magma Commander Inferoarox!"

The three creatures stood together as they released flames from their fists. As they began to charge energy, Seb turned around to the others.

"Quick! Scope Shots!"

The rangers took out their Scope Shots, attaching them to the Relic Blasters.

"Relic Blaster: Sniper Mode!"

The five rangers stood together as they aimed their weapons at the three flaming beasts. Seb nodded as he pulled the trigger, "Fire!"

Five beams shot out from the rangers in their ranger color, combining into one golden beam. As the golden beam headed straight toward them, the three of them released a wall of fire. Pushing the wall, the flames struck across as the beam diminished. The stream of flames hit the rangers as blue sparks surrounded their suits. The rangers yelled as they landed on the ground. An aura surrounded the team as their suits disappeared. Seb looked up as Tabitha laughed.

"Good luck…," he said, "I plan on making more. Let's go, boys!"

A red aura surrounded them as they disappeared. Seb crawled up on all fours and then stood up. Grace and the others followed suit as she turned to Seb. Seb looked at the flames around the woods. The fact that the rangers have never see that much power before, that was disturbing enough. The rangers turned to each other as Lamar nodded.

"Let's put out this fire and head back to headquarters," said Lamar.

Seb nodded, "You guys can."

"Where are you going?" asked Grace.

Seb turned to the others, "That red and yellow scale… something is going on."

He reached for his Relic Detector. Pressing a red button, he slid it across his shoulder. A red aura surrounded him as he teleported, disappearing. The other rangers turned to each other. Zander sighed as he turned to the others.

"Well…" said Zander.

"Follow his orders," said Rachel, taking Pelipper's Poké Ball, "Pelipper, let's do this."


A few hours later…

Sebastian sat down in a room in the headquarters away from the main entrance. Sitting down, he was on a laptop as he sat in a black leather chair, surrounded by books and a globe that was placed to the right. As he looked at a few books, he began to type a few things up. Scratching his chin, things didn't make sense when they battled the three monsters.

"Those red-yellow scales…" said Seb, clicking a few buttons. As he did, he analyzed the scale, noticing that they came directly from an enemy. He nodded as he turned to the screen, revealing Maxie. Maxie had a few scales attached to his body. Seb slammed the book as he looked at the window, noticing the ocean.

"That's it!" he said, "Maxie turning his own men into monsters… sickening."

Suddenly, a beeping noise surrounded his Relic Detector. Seb opened it up as he went to speak.

"Sebastian, please come to the weapons training arena," said JT, "We have a surprise for you."


Meanwhile…

Rachel was sitting in a firing range next to the zords. JT, who was sitting on a stool, turned to them as he pressed a blue button with his black handheld device in hand. Immediately, a white sheet appeared with Maxie's face on it and a target in its chest. Rachel turned around as she looked at the group and then at JT, "So… what is this place?"

"Well, this is a firing range," said JT, "Guess you don't see these in Magiland?"

"No… we have magic remember?" asked Rachel. Lamar grinned as he turned to Rachel, "This is a place where we can test our accuracy. It's almost like those targets I set up for you so that way your Electrike can use its electric attacks to destroy them."

"Oh… okay," said Rachel.

JT grinned as he then noticed one person was missing, "Where's Sebastian?"

"He's somewhere in the headquarters. He'll be here soon," said Grace.

JT sighed, "Alright. Well, we figured out a way to help you destroy these flame-like creatures. We've been working on this for a while but it requires five people to use it."

JT pulled out a black briefcase as he jumped off the stool. The rangers looked as JT placed the briefcase on top of the white counter. Opening the briefcase, the rangers were in awe as they saw what was inside. It was a silver and black blaster with ruby stripes. It had a mixer like head on one side and a golden drill head on the other. JT pulled it out as he showed the group.

"This is the Relic Crusher! It has two modes… Mixer and Drill…," said JT.

"Interesting," said Rachel, "So… what does each mode do?"

"Well… the Mixer Head unleashes a sludge like beam that could stiffen the opponent from moving. The Drill Head will destroy the creature straight through…," said JT.

Rachel turned around as she grinned, looking at the weapon, "May I try?"

"That's why we're here. It would be best if you morph," said JT.

Rachel grinned, "You got it."

She took out her Relic Detector and placed it on her left shoulder, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

A blast of yellow energy surrounded her as she transformed into her suit. She walked over as she picked up the weapon. The other rangers stood back as Rachel pressed a red button, activating the Drill Head. Raising the weapon, the drill began to glow in an orange aura. Rachel started shaking as the power started to become overwhelming. Screaming, she pulled the trigger. The drill blast pierced right through the paper and she flew back toward the group. As she landed on the ground, a yellow aura surrounded her, morphing her out of her suit.

"No way," said Grace, "That had enough power to automatically morph Rachel out?"

"As I figured. It's like when a Voltorb uses Self Destruct. The power it needs to release the energy would also overwhelm the ranger suits," said JT, sighing, "However, we are working on something to make it stable for you!"

"What is that?" asked Grace, helping Rachel up.

"Hunter Armor," said Jack. The rangers turned around as Jack stepped down the steel steps, walking over toward them, "It is a circular plate that will transform into body armor. When you combine it with the Relic Crusher, you would be able to maintain the morph. But, there's a catch."

"A catch?" asked Zander.

"We need one scale that is hard to find," said JT, "The Terablaze Scale. Both from Reshiram and Zekrom, legendary Pokémon from Unova."

"With that, we can create a stable armor plating for you and upgrade the Morphin' Grid…," said Jack.

"Well…," said Zander, "That could have been easy for you."

"Zander's right," a voice said. The rangers turned around as Sebastian walked over toward them. The rangers turned around as Seb held a book in his hand, "Reshiram fought with us when we were Mystic Force Rangers. That's easy… now, Zekrom is going to be hard to find."

"Probably because we have not seen Zekrom since… Zeramses…," said Lamar, turning to the group, "I don't feel like returning to the Hades Underground."

"How can we even get there?" asked Grace.

"Well… that's a good place to start," Seb said, walking toward them, "I figured out the scales. It seems Maxie is using his Magma Scales to create Magma Beasts of infinite power."

"So… the Magma Grunts… he's killing them to create a whole army?" asked Grace.

"The strongest of the Magma Grunts…," said Seb, "He created three of them. Who knows how many are going to be made."

Immediately, the lights in the bay began to turn bright red. The rangers looked at each other as they dashed up the stairs and headed straight toward the red doors. As the doors opened to the main headquarters, the rangers stopped and turned to the screen, seeing Team Magma burning down Rubello Town. As the three creatures began to start setting things up in flames, they noticed someone familiar. Maxie laughed as he looked at the woman. The woman, dressed in white, with a crown on her head turned around as she had a magic wand. She had blonde hair and green eyes. The rangers turned as they looked at each other. Seb turned to the group, "We got to work to do."


Meanwhile…

The woman turned around as she had her white wand in her hand. She turned around as Charquilken hissed, turning to her. Maxie arrived as he looked at her.

"Give up the Terablaze Scale," he said.

She looked up as she turned to her, "No way! I am not handing it over!"

As he walked forward, he saw golden beams shoot out, hitting the group. Looking up, he noticed the Relic Hunter Rangers arrive in town. Rachel turned around as headed over toward the woman, "Reshimé, are you okay?"

Reshimé turned around, noticing the yellow ranger, "… You sound familiar!"

"It's me… Rachel!" she said.

"Rachel?!" Reshimé asked.

"Long story…," she said, meeting up with the group.

The rangers turned around as they went to protect her. Maxie turned around as he looked at them, "Silence! I want the Terablaze Scale!"

"How do you know about the scale?" asked Seb.

"That's not important. But, you won't get it! Go my beast, kill them!" shouted Maxie.

Charquilken jumped up and went to strike. He jumped forward, slashing each ranger at a time. As Zander landed on the ground, being the last one, Lamar and Rachel jumped up as they pressed their belt buckles.

"Doom Hammer!"

"Thunder Scooper!"

As Lamar swung the hammer down, Charquilken held on to it. Lamar looked up as Charquilken jumped up, kicking Lamar down to the ground. Sparks flew out as Lamar smacked his face to the ground. Rachel dashed over with her weapon, slicing the creature. Charquilken kicked her in the stomach repeatedly and released a flame like attack. Flames emerged as Rachel was struck heavily. The yellow ranger fell to the ground as the others stood together. Seb turned around as he noticed something different about the creature. Realizing, he dashed over, flipping underneath as he took out his Hunter Saber. The creature blocked the attack. As the creature went to kick, Seb went underneath and grabbed him by the shoulder. Turning his Hunter Saber into the Relic Blaster quickly, he pulled the trigger, shooting the creature in the back. As the creature turned around to face him, Lamar caught on quickly.

"Rangers, Relic Blasters!" shouted Lamar.

The rangers pulled out their blasters and pulled the trigger. Gold beams shot out as the creature was hit. Maxie stood there angrily as he pulled out his golden and red saber, making Seb the main target. After a few blocks and strikes, Maxie struck Sebastian down. As Seb landed on the ground, a red aura surrounded the blade as he stretched his weapon out, releasing a magma like blast. Explosions surrounded the rangers as they landed on the ground.

"We'll find the scale… retreat for now," said Maxie, looking at the creature as they dashed away. As the rangers stood up from the attack, a shiny aura surrounded them as they transformed out of their suits, turning to Reshimé.

"Reshimé," said Seb, grinning, "Hi."

Reshimé grinned as she hugged each and every one of them, "Hi guys… long time no see! It's so nice to see you. Thank you for rescuing me. What happened? Is that another Hades Beast?"

"Uh," said Grace, "No. That's Team Magma."

Zander nodded, "Yeah… things are a little adventurous now."

"… What happened to your Mystic Force powers?" asked Reshimé.

The rangers turned to each other as they turned to Seb. Seb nodded as he looked at Reshimé. She looked at Seb as he marched forward.

"We need to talk about this at our base… the Mystic Library is sealed… but I am sure we can catch up," said Seb.

Reshimé slowly nodded, following the rangers as they headed back to the base.


Back at the base...

The red doors opened as Reshimé stood there in awe. She couldn't believe what she saw as she walked toward the group. The rangers turned to her as they sat down. Urara turned around, while she was working on something, noticing her as she headed over.

"Reshimé!" shouted Urara, hugging her. Reshimé hugged back as she turned to the former ranger, "How are you?"

"I am fine!" she said with excitement, "Glad you are here."

The group sat down as Reshimé looked up, noticing Jack as he walked toward the group. Jack stretched out his hand, "I believe you are Reshimé?"

"Yes, thank you. And you are one of the first red rangers?" asked Reshimé.

"The first," said Jack, grinning as she smiled. Jack sat down as he turned to the group. Reshimé turned around as she looked at the rangers. She grinned as she folded her hands together as she put them on the table.

"I guess," said Reshimé, "We have a lot to talk about."

"Yeah…," said Seb. Rachel slowly nodded as she turned to her. She picked up her broken Mystic Morpher, placing it on the table. Reshimé looked at it, noticing the broken Mystic Morpher on the table.

"What happened to them? These were magically made for you… they weren't supposed to be destroyed," she said, noticing the damage.

"Well… Maxie and Archie found a way to break them. They wanted to cut us at our knees," said Rachel.

Reshimé froze as she turned around, "Well, that explains why there was an imbalance up in Magiland. We couldn't contact you for at least a month and that was why I came down. But, anyway, continue."

"So," said Lamar, turning to Reshimé, "Jack decided to help us. We would work for him to obtain the artifacts to find the five jewels of the Crown of Weather. If we can find all five, we can revive Rayquaza, restore balance to Hoenn and possibly get our morphers fixed."

Reshimé turned to them, "You don't need to worry about that."

"… Say what?" asked Urara, "But, once they are destroyed…"

"You forgot that the legendary Pokémon still exist. The powers are channeled through those morphers. They are still breathing," she said, "I can bring them up to Magiland upon return and Diana can fix them. It will take a long time to get them fixed."

Jack turned around as he looked at Rachel. Rachel nodded as she turned to the others, "It makes sense. We can't activate our magic right now."

"But, maybe after we're done with what needs to be complete," said Reshimé. Reshimé reached into her pocket. The rangers watched as she picked out a black and white scale. It had a blue fire emblem and a blue lightning bolt. Seb stood there as he looked at the scale, "That scale was in my dream!"

Reshimé looked over as she turned to him, "That was me trying to find you… I was trying to call you…"

"Well," said Rachel, "What do you need from us?"

"Rangers, I found the location of Zekrom and I was hoping you would still be able to help me, even now. In order for the Terablaze Scale to work, I need energy from both Pokémon. Reshiram already accepted it. But, Zekrom…"

"Zekrom is still hurt from Zeramses…," said Seb.

"Correct. It won't trust Reshiram… and it won't trust anybody. I need someone to talk with it. I figured, seeing that you were the Solaris Knight and you fought Zeramses… maybe you can help me out," she said, looking at Seb.

"Well," said Seb, "That's all fine and dandy. But, wouldn't Cedric be a better person?"

Reshimé sighed as she turned to Seb. The rangers turned as they noticed what she was going to say. Reshimé went to take a deep breath, "Cedric is missing…"

"MISSING?" asked the rangers.

Jack turned around as he looked at them, curious, "Who is this Cedric guy?"

"Cedric was the Shadow Wizard. He played a big role in sealing Master Hades. He also, unfortunately, was sucked into being an evil warrior," said Rachel, "But, he changed and saved the world."

"Yeah… he went to Hades Undeground because Persha and Jirinx felt a disturbance. From what Persha told me, he has gone MIA," said Reshimé, "And as you know, the Hades Underground is no longer a place of evil nor a threat."

"And seeing Team Magma wants this Terablaze Scale, we need to secretly find Zekrom, channel the scale energy… but what do you need it for?"

"Well… when I came down, I was looking for you so we can add more magic to your arsenal. But, seeing Team Magma is after the scale and you can no longer use magic right now, it's going to be very hard for me to upgrade your powers," said Reshimé.

Jack looked up as he turned to the scale. He slowly nodded as he looked at the scale, "Not really, we can use that to our advantage."

"What do you mean?" asked Zander.

"Well…," he said, picking up the Relic Armor, "You know how I said we needed something to stabilize you when using the Relic Crusher?"

Seb nodded as he grinned, "Good idea."

"But, will it work?" asked Reshimé.

"We have got to try," said Jack.

Suddenly, there was a loud beeping noise on the screen. The rangers turned around as they saw a blue flash of lightning in the dark clouds. The rangers watched as Zekrom emerged out of the dark, screaming as it was charging down toward Rubello Town.

"Zekrom!" said Seb.

Looking down, the rangers then noticed Tabitha, Courtney and Maxie laughing as they had their three flame monsters.

"I don't like the looks of this," said Rachel, turning to Seb.

"Exactly," said Seb, turning to Rachel. Rachel nodded as she looked over at Reshimé. Reshimé stood there with sadness as she turned to the team. Sebastian and the others nodded as they noticed a factory. It was a red and black factory outside.

"That was not there when we were there," said Lamar.

"Exactly," said Rachel.

"Is there a way to scan what's going on?" asked Zander.

"Well, not from here. With the zords, maybe," said Urara.

Seb turned to the team, "Relic Hunters, to the zords."

Reshimé looked at Seb as she walked over. Seb nodded slowly, "I want you to come with me."

Reshimé nodded as she turned around, "Well… I can just ride on Reshiram."

"Right… but we need to distract them. If you come in with Reshiram and they know you have the scale, they are going to take full advantage of it," said Seb.

Looking at Seb, she slowly nodded as she followed him. As the rangers went through another set of red doors, they climbed down the stairs, heading toward the zord bay. Stopping, the rangers went over to the room, where the Relic Drivers are held. The rangers grabbed their Relic Drivers and dashed toward the zords. Seb climbed on top of the Blaziken Zord, grabbing Reshimé's hand. As they landed in the cockpit, Seb placed the Relic Driver in the console.

"Relic Hunter Zord 1: Ready!"

"Relic Hunter Zord 2, standing by!"

"Relic Hunter Zord 3, all systems go!"

"Relic Hunter Zord 4, logged in!"

"Relic Hunter Zord 5, ready to launch!"

Seb nodded as he turned around, "Relic Hunter Zords, launch!"


Twenty minutes later…

Zekrom started screeching as it was floating away from the city. Tabitha, Maxie and Courtney were chasing it down. Zekrom turned around as blue lightning bolts emerged. The three of them were hit as they landed on the ground.

"Get that Zekrom!" he shouted, "If we can catch it, we can lure Reshiram… then grab that scale!"

As the three continued to head toward the legendary Pokémon, the sound of Zekrom screeching was detrimental to their ears. However, on top of what was going on, they heard a loud sound of galloping and stomping. The three looked up as the zords arrived.

"Ah!" shouted Maxie, "Darn it!"

As the dark clouds formed and blue lightning continued, the rangers landed on the ground. Reshimé turned around as she looked at them. Maxie grinned as he looked at her.

"Why… hello," he said, "Give me the scale."

"I'm afraid you are going to face them if you want it so bad," she said.

The other rangers stepped in front of her. Seb stood there as he noticed Zekrom. Zekrom was in pain as he looked at Maxie, "What did you do?"

"Simple. I guess I can tell you what happened," said Maxie, laughing, "We found Zekrom floating along in an underground pit in Hoenn. How did he manage to get here? It was beyond my understanding. Because I knew about Terablaze Scale and its existence, I figured I would capture it. My Magma Grunts, my three flame creatures managed to seize him and bring him to the factory… and then he broke out… because we were not cautious. We are going need the creature to lure out Reshiram and then use the scale," he said, "We would then use the scale as a catalyst for our secret weapon."

Raising his hand, the rangers watched as they saw a massive silver laser pistol that aimed directly at a location. Maxie grinned as he turned around, "Using the Magma Hideout, we will erupt this planet and more…"

"Wait… so…" said Seb.

"Yes, Red Ranger. Its aimed at Mt. Chimney and I plan on sacrificing it all! Don't stop me now!" he shouted, laughing as the other two admin jumped in with the laughter.

"These legendary Pokémon aren't just legendaries. They are also mystical warriors. Using that idea… you would destroy everything!" shouted Reshimé.

"Anything for the Crown of Weather," said Maxie, "And I plan on taking over this planet with Groudon. I will do whatever it takes to make it work."

Reshimé turned toward Seb. Seb nodded as he turned to Maxie, "And I will take whatever action necessary to defend the legendaries."

The rangers nodded as they looked at Maxie. Seb turned around, "Reshimé, summon Reshiram! The rest of you… destroy the factory. No Magma Grunts alive."

Rachel nodded as they turned to the group. Seb stretched for his Relic Detector, "Ready!"

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Transforming into their suits, the rangers struck a pose as they went to complete their mission. Reshimé nodded as she struck out her wand, "Reshiram, arise!"

Flames erupted from the ground as Team Magma landed on the ground. Dark clouds emerged as blue flames pierced the sky. A blue blaze of energy surrounded the two of them as Reshiram materialized. Team Magma turned around as Seb and Reshimé jumped on Reshiram, heading straight toward Zekrom.

"We can't let them get Zekrom!" shouted Maxie.

Courtney turned around as she looked at the zords, "Uh… what about them?"

Maxie turned around, noticing the zords heading torward the factory, "My plan to burn the whole planet is ruined!"

Rachel looked up as she sat down in the cockpit, "Adventure Fusion!"

Pressing 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 on her Relic Detector, Rachel spun the device. The Houndoom and the Manectric got on all fours. The legs began to shrink as they turned into wheels. Leaving the heads where they were, their bodies lifted 90 degrees. The Blaziken Zord jumped up into the air as it landed on top of the zord legs. A red and golden charge surrounded the zords as they combined. The Swampert Zord divided in half. The Swampert's head and chest popped out as the body split in half, connecting to either side of Blaziken. The chest connected to the front of the Blaziken with the head covering the Blaziken. Last, the Gallade Zord flipped up as it put its legs together and spread its arms wide. Connecting to the back, Gallade Zord's arms wrapped around the chest. Golden eyes appeared on the helmet as the Megazord formed.

"Relic Hunter Megazord, Assembly Complete!"

Rachel turned around, looking at Grace, "Grace… summon the Gyarados Zord!"

Rachel nodded as she turned to her morpher. She spun the device as she looked up, "Gyarados Relic Hunter Zord, launch!"

Immediately, out of the ocean, a Gyarados roared as it floated out of the waters and headed straight for their location. As the Gyarados stopped maneuvering, Grace pressed the button.

"Adventure Upgrade!"

The Gyarados split into two parts, top and bottom as it connected to one of the arms. The Gyarados connected around the left arm of the Megazord.

"Relic Anchor Megazord, Assembly Complete!"

Immediately, the Gyarados arm began to target the factory. A blue aura surrounded the weapon as a green targeting scanner found a few gas pipes.

"Take this! Draco Hurricane!" she shouted.

A draconic blast shot out of the Relic Hunter Megazord, piercing the gas pipes. As the gas pipes erupted, the factory began to explode from the inside to the exterior, causing a massive explosion. Maxie turned around as he looked at them. Immediately, a blue energy blast shot out, causing the three of them to fall to the ground. The four rangers landed on the ground as they took out their weapons.

"So…," said Maxie, annoyed, "I guess we have to do some killing of our own… Charquiken, Inferoarox, Incinace!"

A massive red explosion appeared in front of them as the flame beasts arrived. The Magma Beasts headed straight toward the rangers. Zander and the others nodded as they pressed their belt buckles.

"Relic Weapons, activate!"


Meanwhile…

Flying through the dark clouds, Reshimé and Seb held on as Reshiram charged through the sky, catching up to Zekrom. Zekrom turned around as blue lightning bolts shot back at them. Reshiram flew up, dodging the attack. As it swooped down, Reshiram was inches away from Zekrom. Flying across, Reshimé turned around as she looked at Seb, "We're almost there."

"I got an idea," said Seb.

"What?" asked Reshimé.

"If I can hop on to Zekrom, maybe I can try to help," said Seb.

"But…," said Reshimé.

"Trust me…," said Seb, turning to Reshimé.

He looked over, noticing Zekrom chasing at fast speeds. Sebastian's adrenaline was racing through his body as he gulped. Jumping over, he managed to land on Zekrom. Zekrom screamed as he tried to shake him off. Seb hugged on to the creature tightly as Zekrom began to release blue charges.

"Zekrom… please… stop this madness!" shouted Seb.

As Zekrom tried to resist, Zekrom flew across, trying to shake him off. Seb hung on as he tried to communicate. Reshimé stayed a distance but maintained pursuit as the red ranger tried to calm it down. Seb closed his eyes as he began to feel a sense of calmness. Holding on, Zekrom looked behind him. Closing his eyes, the creature began to float down toward another part of the region. Landing on the ground with his feet clenching the dirt, Seb rolled off his back. As he screamed, Zekrom's hand began to reach out for him. Seb was caught as Zekrom looked straight down at him. He looked down at him as Reshiram stopped next to him. Reshimé looked at him, "Seb…"

Seb looked up, "Zekrom, I know the pain you felt must've been dangerous. Zeramses treated you disrespectfully, making you do things you didn't want to do. I am not here to fight you!"

Zekrom looked at him with his eyes piercing bright red. Seb raised his hands, touching his helmet. Unbuckling the helmet, he removed the helmet as he revealed his identity. Zekrom's eyes enlarged as he looked at Zekrom.

"Solaris… Knight?" he thought.

Seb slowly nodded as he looked at him, "Please… I am not here to fight with you. Nor is Reshimé! But, we need you!"

Reshimé nodded as Reshiram inched closer. Zekrom looked up as it looked at Reshiram. Reshimé stood in the front of the two legendary Pokémon.

"Do you want Team Magma to destroy you?" she asked, "We are here to help you! If you can help us, we can destroy Team Magma's monsters."

She took out the Terablaze Scale, placing it on the ground. Reshiram's eyes opened as a blue aura surrounded its body. Blue flames shot out as it hit the scale. As the scale began to charge, Zekrom looked at Reshiram and then at Seb.

"Please…," said Seb, looking at Zekrom, "We will make sure you won't be harmed again."

As Zekrom stared at Seb's eyes, Sebastian glared back. As their eyes met, Zekrom roared as blue electric volts surrounded the creature. Zekrom released a blue electric charge at the scale. Reshimé and Sebastian watched as the flames and the lighting bolts heated the scale. As the smoke released from the scale, Seb watched as the scale began to glow in a blue light. When the attacks were finished, Seb walked over toward the scale. Reshimé looked over as she noticed the scale. As the scale began to shine in a blue light, Seb turned around as he looked at it. Reshimé grinned as she shook hands with him.

"We got the scale back," Seb said, grinning.

"Yes…," said Reshimé, "Now… what are we going to use it for?"

Seb grinned as he grabbed his Relic Detector. He opened the Relic Detector as he put it to his ear, "Jack, this is me… send the Hunter Armor, looks like the scale is ready!"


Meanwhile…

"Blaze Kick!" Charquiken shouted, kicking down Lamar and Zander, knocking them to the ground.

"Flame Charge!" Inferoarox shouted, smacking Rachel to the ground. Rachel screamed as she fell to the ground, landing on the grass.

"Malicious Fire!" shouted Incinerace. His foot smacked Grace's chin, causing Grace to hit her neck up in the air. As she screamed, she landed on the ground with the other four rangers. As the four rangers went to get up, Tabitha and Courtney took out their weapons.

"Magma Impulse!" they shouted.

As two bombs of magma combined as one red and orange blast, a massive explosion occurred. As the rangers flew toward the ground, they landed on the ground. Blue sparks surrounded their suits as they tried to get up from the blast.

"We have to keep fighting," said Rachel.

Maxie laughed as he took out his saber, "By the time Seb reaches Zekrom, you will be corpses."

As he went to raise his blade, blue lightning bolts struck the ground as the Magma Grunts, Magma Commanders and Maxie landed on the ground. The rangers looked up into the dark clouds. Zekrom and Reshiram floated out of the clouds. Seb nodded as he jumped off Zekrom's back. Landing on the ground, Sebastian turned around as he looked at Team Magma, brushing off the dirt.

"Seb!" shouted Lamar.

"You found Zekrom!" Grace said, looking at the red ranger. Seb nodded as he grinned, "And now, we are going to have some fun!"

He took out his Relic Detector, "Hunter Armor, activate!"

A golden aura surrounded his hands. A metal plate appeared with the Poké Ball on top that had a compass over it. Inside the plate, there was a green hexagon that was left. He turned to Reshimé. Reshimé nodded as she dropped the Terablaze Scale toward Seb. Seb turned around as he took out his Scope Shot. Shooting the scale, the scale was wrapped around and brought toward him. Maxie looked at him as they turned to each other.

"The Terablaze Scale!" shouted Maxie.

"Yep… and it's ours now," said Seb, placing the Terablaze Scale in the armor. Immediately, a red aura surrounded the armor. Seb stretched his arms out as the plate connected to him. Silver armor connected to the back of his body. Black and white stripes surrounded his shoulder pads as black and white gloves appeared.

"Relic Crusher!" shouted Seb.

Raising his hand, a golden blaster appeared in Seb's left hand. It was a silver and black blaster with ruby stripes. It had a mixer like head on one side and a golden drill head on the other. He placed his weapon toward the enemies. The Magma Commanders stood there as they looked at them.

"Even with a new weapon… you can't honestly destroy us," said Incinace, "Let's do it team!"

"Right!" shouted the creatures.

As Inferoarox, Charquilken and Incinace started dashing together, they began to charge into a ball of flames. Quickly, Seb turned to the others as he pressed a red button. The mixer head appeared as the drill head appeared in the back.

"Rangers… let's do this!" shouted Seb.

Grace and Rachel placed their hands on Seb's shoulder pads. Lamar and Zander then followed, but putting their hands on Grace and Rachel. A blue aura surrounded the Relic Crusher.

"Relic Crusher, Sludge Mixer!"

Pulling the trigger, the rangers held on tight as a golden blast surrounded the weapon. It swirled around as the creatures were then caught in the sphere of flames. As the sphere landed on the ground, it was solid as a rock. Quickly, Seb pressed the button as the Drill Head appeared in the front. Immediately, the helmets of the rangers began to glow as the energy was channeled into the Hunter Armor.

"Relic Crusher, Bulldoze Combination Crush!"

Pressing the trigger, a red energy beam shot out, transforming the energy beam into a drill. The drill pierced through the cemented sphere, exploding the rock into pieces. As the earth began to shake a little, Team Magma stood there in surprise as the rangers aimed their weapon at them. Maxie looked at them as he turned to the team.

"Rangers, this isn't the end. I am going to end you when I can…," said Maxie.

Immediately, Team Magma began to glow in a red aura, disappearing. The rangers turned to each other as Reshiram and Zekrom stood over them.

"Thank you!" shouted Rachel. A yellow aura surrounded her as she morphed out. Reshiram lowered its head as it looked at her, nodding her head, "I missed you so much…"

The other rangers nodded as they turned to Reshimé. Reshimé looked at them as Reshiram backed off. Reshimé grinned as she turned to the others, "I am glad that we were able to help you."

"Believe me," said Seb, turning around, "I don't think we need Team Magma looking for that scale."

Reshimé grinned as she turned to the rangers, "Well, while you try to complete your mission, I will see what I can do about your morphers."

Rachel grinned as she hugged Reshimé, "You're the best!"

"Tell Diana that we said hello," said Zander, grinning, "And we miss her."

"And if we see Cedric, we will let him know that he is needed back," said Grace, grinning. Lamar nodded as he turned to Reshimé, "If you could also let Suicune know I miss him completely, that would be great."

Reshiram roared as it nodded its head. Lamar grinned as he turned around and turned to Rachel, "Guess, I'll take that as a yes?"

"Well… yeah," said Rachel, grinning.

Reshimé nodded as she hopped on the back of Reshiram, "See you later, rangers!"

Immediately, as the two legendary Pokémon lifted off the ground. The two Pokémon floated toward the sky, heading up into the clouds. Rachel grinned as she turned to the others. The yellow ranger turned to the others, "Well… I guess we should head back and return the zords."

"True…," said Seb, walking over.

"So… I wonder how Maxie found out about the Terablaze Scale?" asked Rachel, looking at Seb. Seb turned around as he looked at Rachel, "I wonder how he did too?"

"Especially, if it was a Magiland artifact?" asked Zander.

Lamar shrugged, "Well… at least Zekrom is saved. We may not have to worry about our magic returning when we get the crown!"

"True!" said Grace, grinning, "But, anything can happen…"

Seb laughed as he looked at Grace, "Well, even when we get our powers back, we still need to complete our mission. I don't know about you, but I enjoy wearing the red suit."

The rangers laughed as they headed back into the Relic Hunter Megazord.


Meanwhile…

The Magma Hideout was nothing but noises from Maxie. Courtney and Tabitha looked at each other as Maxie went to slice everything around him, cutting Magma Grunts as he turned to the two. Maxie's eyes began to glow in a sapphire aura as he held his saber.

"Sebastian… that imprudent fool…" he said, looking at the footage, "Learning about Magiland was how I was able to figure you out…"

Maxie turned around as he looked at the group and then up at the sky, "Alright, Seb… you've made it quite clear!"

Clenching his fist, he slammed onto a rock formation, breaking it in half.


Next Chapter…

Zander: So, this artifact is interesting

Rachel: I challenge you to a gym battle!

Grace: I had a bad feeling about this…

Seb: What do you mean?

Lamar: Why are there two Zanders?

Zander: WHAT?

Poké Rangers Relic Hunters Chapter 9: Double Trouble

Zander: Let's finish this!


A/N: So, the Relic Crusher made its first debut. Nice, right? It was also nice to see Reshime again. I wonder what happened up there? Hmm… well, I am looking forward to this next chapter. I can't wait! See you soon for another update! I am currently working on Chapter 13 right now... long story short, I am chugging away. This was suppose to air around July but with what's been going on, it had to be posted now. I will eventually try to get back on schedule, but as I've learned, things never go according to plan and you just need to ride.

I know someone mentioned about one of my stories. I don't know if I will be able to update. I may have lost my notes since I moved from my hometown, which is why a majority of my stories have not been updated.

My goal will hopefully to at least get a good chunk of the series in before 2021. I only have four weeks worth of chapters right now. But, I hope to write more before I update around Thanksgiving time.

Have a Happy Halloween!
