A/N: So, welcome to our next chapter! Here we go.


A few days passed since the battle between Winona and Rachel. Rachel grinned as she was throwing her Feather Badge in the air, after a close call against her Altaria. Turning around, she walked backwards as the group followed her. Walking along the path, she caught the Feather Badge, placing it in the badge case.

"Someone's pretty excited they got six badges," said Seb, looking at Rachel. The five of them were heading toward Lilycove City. It was going to be a good month trip by foot. But, for Rachel and the others, it was all good.

"Yep!" Rachel said, grinning as she walked toward the woods. It's not every day I get to -."

She turned around as she felt something bump into her. As she turned around, she noticed that it was invisible. As she went to touch, she felt something. She screamed a little as she backed away. The others rushed over as Lamar looked over.

"Invisible, eh?" asked Lamar.

As he went to touch the invisible barrier, a tongue emerged from the barrier. Heading straight to Lamar, Greninja popped out of his Poké Ball, throwing a water shuriken. As the shuriken hit, a Kecleon materialized as it landed on the ground.

"A Kecleon!" said Grace, "Wow… I have heard of them and never saw them before."

Kecleon's eyes grew with anger as its claws were sharpened. Greninja bent his knees with eyes darting directly at Kecleon. As it charged forward, Lamar clenched his fist as it went to strike.

"Greninja… Dark Pulse!"

Greninja put his hands together. A black and red beam emerged from his hands as the beam pierced Kecleon in the chest. Landing on the ground, Kecleon stood up as it screamed. The rangers turned around as six other Kecleon arrived.

"Oh boy," said Rachel, taking out her Poké Balls with Zander and Grace.

"Flare, Torch!" shouted Rachel.

"Leavanny, Garchomp!" shouted Zander.

"Jolteon, Pacharisu!" shouted Grace.

Immediately, their Pokémon emerged out of their Poké Balls.

"Pachirisu, Jolteon… Discharge!" shouted Grace.

Jolteon and Pachirisu started charging together as a field of electricity surrounded them. Immediately, a wave of electricity emerged as it hit the Kecleon. Kecleon screamed as they started shaking. Landing on the ground, the other two Kecleon went to attack. This time, using Psybeam.

"Leavanny, use Razor Leaf! Garchomp, Poison Jab!" shouted Zander.

Leavanny jumped up, releasing a bunch of green leaves at Kecleon. As the Kecleon landed on the ground, the other two were heading toward the group.

"Flare, Torch… toast em with a Flamethrower!"

The two Pokémon, Flareon and Blaziken, released a double flamethrower as the Kecleon began to crisp. As they waddled to the ground, the other Kecleon started to retreat. Looking at each other, the rangers turned to each other as they heard beeping noises. As Seb picked up the Relic Detector, he opened the device.

"Yes?" asked Seb.

"Seb, it's Jack. We need to speak to you now… immediately… actually the whole team… teleport please," he said on the intercom. Seb turned off the Relic Detector. From what he could tell, Jack wasn't pleased with what was going on.


A few minutes later…

As the teleportation system began to glow, the five rangers materialized in the HQ's transporter room. The rangers stepped off the pad as they headed toward the doors. As the doors opened, Jack and Max looked at them with a little anger inside. JT and Ray were repairing the HQ as Urara and Amy were continuing their research. Their lab also needed a touch up.

"Uh… we can explain," said Zander.

"We were gone for a few days to see this…," said Jack, shaking his head, "Anyway, we aren't here to chastise."

"What's up?" asked Lamar.

"We need you to head back to Verdanturf Town," said Max, "We were able to make an offer we couldn't refuse."

"Offer?" asked Rachel, looking at them.

"The Eon Dolls are being sold to us," said Max, "They are a key ingredient."

"Why?" asked Seb, looking at them. Jack turned to him, shrugging as Max turned to them, "They may help us find the second jewel. Plus, despite the beautiful design, when combined they bring destructive power if used correctly."

Jack nodded as he turned to the rangers, "We paid a significant amount of Pokédollars to sell them. It's up to you get them. Please proceed there now."

Seb nodded as he turned to the other rangers, "Looks like our trip to Lilycove City will have to wait team. Let's move out."


Meanwhile…

The streets of Verdanturf Town were filled with life. As people were walking across, doing their normal things, the rangers walked into town as they headed to a new address. Inputting into his PokéNav, Zander led the way as they walked up the stairs to their right. The stairs were made of stone, nothing to crumbly. They were solid as bricks. As they climbed up the mountain, the rangers were watching as they were looking at the railing that was installed. As they got to the platform, they noticed brown wooden doors with a doorbell. Seb pressed the doorbell, of course as it made a hollow ringing sound. Once the ringing sound disappeared, the doors opened. The rangers walked inside with the doors closing behind them. The rangers were amazed at the set up.

Going down the stairs, they noticed a red and golden carpet as they saw a brown table. On the walls were cave paintings and tapestry hanging on the wall. As they walked over, they noticed an old woman. She was tan skinned with red and black clothing. Grinning, she walked over. Her hair was greyish-black with golden eyes.

"Hi… you must be the rangers!" she said.

"Hello… and you are?" asked Seb.

"My name is Lorina… I am the carekeeper of the Rusturf Caverns and a member of the Whitebirch Tribe."

"Whitebirch Tribe?" asked Seb, "I've heard of that tribe."

Lorina nodded as she grinned looking at him, "You seem to be a man of information. Sebastian, correct?"

Seb froze as he turned to the other rangers. He never expected her to know his name. Seb nodded slowly as the five sat down. As the rangers went to sit down, Lorina grinned as she sat down with a brown wooden box.

"I believe this is yours…," she said, "These dolls have been passed down from the ancient tribes even during the Great War."

Opening the box, the rangers were surprised. There were two dolls. Both were female. One had a blue and red cloth with a Latios insignia and the other was the same with a Latias.

"When combined doing the sacred ritual… destruction can occur," she said, "So, it's important to take care of it."

"Lorina?"

Lorina turned around. She noticed a woman walking toward her. She wore green and gold clothing with golden heels. As she walked over, she was also wearing glass slippers. Turning around, Zander looked up, noticing her. He didn't move nor act surprised as she walked over. As her dark hair was tied in a ponytail, she looked over as she turned to her. Her sapphire blue eyes looked at the dolls.

"Could you wrap them up... Daria?" she asked.

"Sure," said Daria, looking over at Zander. Zander's eyes locked on as she turned to him. Daria grinned as she walked over toward him. Grace looked over as Daria brushed Zander's back with her. Grace carefully got up as she looked at pulled out her Relic Blaster from her morpher, "Hold it!"

"Grace…," said Seb, looking at Lorina. Lorina stood there in shock as Grace turned around, "Come on… Seb. Daria?"

Zander laughed as he looked at her. She turned around as she looked at Zander. Zander grinned as he stood up, "Daria… is that the best you can do? Or is it Darcie of Team Dracos!"

Immediately, she pushed Grace back as she twirled around. A green aura surrounded her as she revealed her true form. She revealed her golden sais, aiming at Zander.

"You've got a lot of nerve," she said, "At least these guys are mine!"

Chapter 10: The Dracos Ninja

Immediately, Darcie took out her sai and started slicing the table. The rangers duck as the saber broke the table down. Rachel grabbed Lorina and the dolls and pulled her to the side as Darcie turned around. As she headed straight toward Darcie, Lamar flipped over and kicked her in the stomach. As she stumbled, Zander headed over as Darcie went to strike. Noticing that she was near the front door, Darcie went to swipe. Zander flew back as he grabbed on to a pipe. Swinging, he kicked Darcie in the stomach. Screaming, Darcie yelled as she felt her back smash into the door. The door split in half as Darcie rolled down the stairs. As people turned around, Darcie released a green aura as beams shot from her. Everyone and their Pokémon headed for the hills as she turned around.

"Give up the dolls or I burn this whole town!" she shouted.

Seb turned around as he looked at his front porch.

"Rachel, guard the dolls…," said Seb.

Rachel nodded, "Understood."

Seb turned around as he took out his Relic Detector, "Rangers, let's go!"

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Sliding their morphers across their left arm. Seb, Zander, Lamar and Grace jumped up, doing flips as they headed toward her. In flashes of red, blue, black and pink light, the rangers surrounded Darcie with their Hunter Sabers.

"We won't let you burn this town," said Seb.

"Then… I am going to make you suffer," she hissed.

Suddenly, a black energy pulse surrounded the rangers. The four rangers landed on the ground as they looked up. A green draconic funnel arrived as someone else arrived. Slashing the four rangers with his sabers, the funnel disappeared, revealing his true form. He had his body covered in gold with emerald stripes. Attached to him, he had two emerald blades stuck out. He had golden and red claws with golden and emerald feet. His face was shaped like a Dragonite but with a metal helmet over his head. He removed his helmet. He had silverish-green hair and golden eyes as he turned to Darcie, "Darcie… you okay?"

"Yeah… we have some problems…," she said.

Jake grinned as he looked at the Eon Dolls that he grabbed, "It was all taken care of."

"How?" asked Seb, looking up. Rachel stumbled down the stairs as she landed on the ground. The rangers rushed over as she looked at him.

"He just came out of nowhere. Lorina's fine…," said Rachel, taking out her Relic Detector. Before she could morph, Jake struck his hand out, releasing green beams. Rachel screamed as she landed on the ground.

"Rachel!" shouted Lamar.

Lamar turned around as she landed on the ground, unconscious. Lamar turned around as he looked at him, "You…"

Jake stood there in silence. He looked at him as Lamar walked over. Lamar looked at him very closely. He nodded his head, "So… you are a part of them now. I thought you were dead a long time ago."

"… Hmm… Lamar Clayton. Blue Mystic Ranger, Black Relic Hunter Ranger…," he said.

A purple glow surrounded Lamar's helmet as it disappeared. Lamar looked at him angrily as he stared into his soul. Lamar's face was full of anger as he looked over. Seb walked over as he turned to him, "Lamar, what's going on?"

"This… criminal… destroyed my home many years ago… almost killed my family. He was arrested with the other members of Team Rocket… I always knew you would find a way out."

Jake looked at him as he pointed to his face. A black scar appeared along his forehead, "I will never forget what you did to me… I've waited a long time to find you… and now I get to kill you… and your friends."

"Well…," Lamar said, "I am not the same person as you saw seven years ago."

Jake laughed as he looked at Lamar. Lamar turned to him as he looked at him. As the winds picked up, Jake went to strike him in the chest. Lamar blocked it and kicked the box of Eon Dolls out of his hand. A purple glow surrounded him as helmet returned to his body. Jake looked up as Grace grabbed it with her Scope Shot. Putting his helmet back on quickly, Jake threw green ninja stars toward Lamar as Lamar ducked underneath. Withdrawing his Relic Blaster, he shot him three times in the stomach. Jake stepped back as Lamar grabbed the blaster in his hand. Jake looked up as he turned to him, "You… have gotten stronger."

He walked toward Lamar as Lamar held the blaster, shaking it in fear. Jake laughed as he looked at him, "But I sense fear in you… Draconic Doppleganger!"

Immediately, multiples of Jake surrounded him as Lamar turned around. The rangers stood there astonished as Lamar turned around. Lamar looked around as Seb and the others went to strike. Before they could, Darcie arrived to fight.

"Give me the dolls!" she shouted.

Rachel slowly opened her eyes as she got up, noticing what was going on. She quickly grabbed her Relic Detector and pressed the button. Sliding the device, she began to transform into her ranger suit. She carefully got up and released her Relic Blaster, shooting her down. Darcie turned around as Rachel arrived with her weapons.

"You okay?" asked Grace.

"Yeah… let's finish her off!" shouted Rachel.

Before they could, a loud screaming was heard. The rangers turned around as Jake arrived multiple times, slashing Lamar all over the place. Jake turned around as he raised his saber, a greenish-bluish flame surrounded it.

"Draconic Slash!"

A dragon energy blast hit Lamar as a purple glow surrounded him. Landing on the ground, Lamar was knocked down as Jake stepped his foot on his chest.

"Lamar!" shouted Seb, running over. Jake turned around as he slashed Seb across. Seb yelled as he landed on the ground. A red aura surrounded him as he fell to his knees.

"Seb!" shouted Lamar.

Jake turned around as his saber began to tilt toward Lamar. Lamar closed his eyes as he went to strike. Lamar opened his eyes as a blue aura surrounded his body. His eyes began to glow bright blue as a wave of water rose, hitting Jake in the stomach. Jake landed on the ground as he looked over. He was mesmerized as he was looking at Lamar. The rangers were in awe as they noticed this.

"No way…," said Rachel, "That's…"

As Lamar stood there with in a blue aura, a Suicune appeared closely behind him.

"Suicune?" asked the rangers.

Jake laughed as he turned around, "He can't save you… Draconic Strike!"

As he went to charge again, Lamar could feel energy surrounding him. As his eyes began to glow in a blue aura, Lamar used a crescent kick as he formed an energy ball with his hands.

"Mysto Aurorus Magika!"

A blast of blue and white energy shot out as Jake was hit hard. Sparks flew across as he landed on the ground. Jake looked up as he turned to Darcie. Darcie looked over as Jake was hit, "We must retreat!"

"No! I need to finish him!"

"No… we need to go!" shouted Darcie.

Jake turned around as he looked at her, "Fine!"

He looked at Lamar as his whole body was covered in a blue light. Jake pointed his saber at him, "This isn't over, Lamar. You are a dead man! And I plan to have your head…."

A green aura surrounded him as he disappeared. The blue aura diminished as Lamar fell to his knees. The other rangers walked over as Lamar stood there, breathing heavily.

"Rangers, let's teleport the dolls back. Lamar, I am going to have Urara do an analysis," he said.

Lamar shook his head. Seb looked up as Lamar stood up. Blood and black marks were on his face as he turned to him, "No… I need to be ready. I don't plan on losing to him."

As he said so, a white spell tag shot out from the sky. Lamar turned around as it hit the ground, right in front of him. The rangers looked over as Jake's face appeared in the sky.

"So… Lamar," he said, laughing in a holographic image, "It looks like you have gotten stronger. I don't know how you did that. But, let's see how you fare in a real duel. You have proven to me that you have become quite the opponent. I challenge you to a duel. If you can defeat me, the dolls are yours. If not, they are mine. I wish you the best! One hour, outside the Rusturf Tunnel, don't be late."

An explosion appeared on the spell tag. Lamar turned around as he looked at the rangers, "I've got to do this. Excuse me."

The rangers turned around, noticing Lamar limping as he was climbing up the stairs. Seb and the others nodded as they followed him.


Meanwhile…

Silva sighed as he was looking at Darcie. At their hideout, the Dracos Grunts were training. While they were training, Darcie was sitting down as she bowed to Silva. Darcie turned around as she looked at him, "Yeah… I apologize for that."

"You are an idiot. Do you know what you have two caused? Our existence!" shouted Silva, clenching his fist. He turned around as he threw his fist toward a tower of bricks, smacking them down. The bricks crumbled to the ground as he turned to Silva. Silva turned toward Darcie, "The media knows of us now. We are Shadow Ninjas trained in the art of Dragons and this is unacceptable!"

"I am sorry…," muttered Darcie.

"Sorry is NOT going to cut it," he shouted, "You are going to fix this. Grenagoon!"

Immediately, Darcie turned around as a dark aura appeared in front of her. She looked up as she noticed the creature. She was a humanoid Greninja with Obstagoon gauntlets and boots. He also has an Ariados tentacles on either side, armed with a green and white blaster.

"Grenagoon… you are going to help retrieve the dolls. They are NOT allowed to be in the hands of the rangers. Head back there and do something!" shouted Silva, "AND WHERE IS JAKE?"

"… There's a personal vendetta going on," said Darcie, gulping.

Silva walked toward her. She stood up as Silva stared at her straight in the face. His eyes glared at her, "Darcie, if one thing I have learned about Jake is that once he starts a personal vendetta. He will go all out to kill… you need to go stop him. He can do that later. FIND HIM!"

Darcie gulped as she turned around, "Grenagoon, let's go!"


Outside… In the Rusturf Tunnel…

Jake flipped forward as he slashed a few of them to the ground. Wearing white pants and no other shoes, looking at the trees, he clenched his saber with his hand, tightening his grip with full force. He raised his saber as he cut across, slashing a few trees. Turning around, he threw green ninja bombs. Putting his hands together, his eyes glared at the green darts. Immediately, explosions sparked from the darts as he looked at him. He began to think about what happened a few years ago…

"That damn boy… he thinks he can destroy a Team Rocket member? He has another thing coming," said Jake. Rolling across, he pulled out a black pistol. Pulling the trigger, he shot a few targets. Standing up, he turned around as he noticed a green aura arriving. Turning around, he noticed Darcie and Grenagoon walking toward her.

"Of course… Silva must be angry," said Jake.

"Yeah, we made the news… thanks to you," said Darcie.

Jake turned to her and laughed, "Like I care. What do you want?"

"I am here to get you back so we can the dolls. Silva wants us to get them," said Darcie.

Jake laughed, "You can do that. I have a ranger to kill."

Darcie walked over to him as she looked at Jake, "Jake, our goal is to steal the artifacts and revive Rayquaza. Nothing more… personal vendettas will cost -."

"HE SHOT ME IN THE FACE!" shouted Jake, pointing to the scar. Darcie stumbled back from her response. She looked at Jake as he turned to her.


Seven years ago… Cerulean City…

A few Team Rocket grunts were surrounding one of the science labs in the area. Jake walked over toward the crew as Proton arrived with his map. He turned around as he looked at them.

"You are to break in and kidnap the scientists. Steal the Pokémon," he said, "If they resist… pull the trigger."

Jake nodded as he reached for his pistol. Sliding the magazine into the chamber, he cocked his weapon and pulled off the safety latch. The Team Rocket grunt broke through the door. As they walked inside, the scientists raised their hands. The grunts pulled one at a time. As they did, one of the scientists stumbled to the ground. He was a bald man with black glasses and wore a blue t-shirt with a black jeans with a white lab coat. As he was pulled to the side, Jake grabbed him by the side.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"Simple. Give me your lab Pokémon!"

As he dragged him to the hallway, the scientist went to press the button. As the door opened, he noticed a young Lamar feeding a few of the Squirtle.

"Lamar!" he shouted.

"Dad!"

Jake laughed a little as he looked at his son, "Oh, your son? Well…"

Jake turned around as he pointed his gun at Lamar, "Release the Squirtle… or he's toast."

His father turned around as he went toward the cages. As he went to open the case of Squirtle, one of the Squirtles hit Jake in the face with a Water Gun. Quickly, the dad tackled him. The gun flew out and landed on the floor. As Jake tried to reach the gun, Lamar quickly picked it up. As his father went to tackle him down, Jake withdrew a knife. As he turned to his father, he looked at him as Jake went to stab him. As Jake went to lunge, a bullet pierced the side of his face. Jake turned around as Lamar held his pistol.

"Lamar, put the gun down!" he shouted.

"Dad, he's trying to kill you!" Lamar said.

"… You little-," Jake shouted.

But, before things could happen, a Growlithe darted through the hallway, burning Jake with an ember attack. As Jake tried to crawl, Officer Jenny arrived, throwing him in handcuffs. As he was arrested, Jake turned around, looking at Lamar with a vengeance.


Present Day…

"So, you and Lamar have history," said Darcie, turning around as she looked at Jake. Jake slowly nodded as he turned to talk to her, "Yes… we do."

Darcie sighed as she looked at him, "So… what do you planning on doing? Silva asked me to grab the dolls…"

Jake grinned as he turned to her. He wiped the sweat off his brow as he finished his sword slashing, "Darcie, one thing I have learned is to not trust anybody."


Meanwhile…

In the woods of Route 117, Lamar swung his Doom Hammer around, smashing the ground as he was looking at the grass. Turning around, he went to throw his hammer across, knocking a few branches across as it swung around like a boomerang. Catching it, he twirled around and smacked the ground again. As he did so, a blue aura surrounded his hammer.

"How?" asked Lamar, "How am I able to do this?"

"Simple…," a voice said.

Lamar turned around. Looking over, he walked over as Rachel was walking forward. She leaned on one of the trees as Lamar walked over.

"What?" asked Lamar.

"Simple… I figured it out. Suicune and you bonded. It's the only way," said Rachel.

"But our magic was gone!" Lamar said.

Rachel struck out her hand. As Lamar looked, he noticed the red ring that was on her ring finger, "You forgot you had this?"

Lamar reached into his pocket. As he grabbed the ring, it was a golden ring with a blue sapphire gem. Glowing, he placed it on his finger as he turned to Rachel, "But, how?"

"That's what I want to know… obviously our Oath Rings have something to do with it. Being able to channel the legendaries within the grid, you know?" asked Rachel, "Urara's looking into it. It could definitely help us when things get a little rough."

"Now thinking about it… we were almost legendary Pokémon when we tried our Legendary Modes," said Lamar.

"Yeah… so I wonder if we have bonded with them?" asked Rachel, "It would be a good asset."

Lamar nodded as he picked up his Doom Hammer, turning to Rachel, "It would be."

Rachel tilted her head as she looked at him. She placed her hand on his sweaty face, "What's going on?"

Lamar sighed as he went to explain what happened. As he explained the details, Rachel nodded slowly as she turned to him, "So, you actually grazed him in the forehead?"

"Yeah, I almost killed him…," said Lamar, "But, I was trying to save my dad. Seeing him with his saber and ready to kill and after seeing his face. Rachel, it's a face I don't ever want to see again."

Rachel put her hand on his shoulder, "We'll do this together. I knew you traveled all over the world but I never knew this happened. But, we've been through rough patches before."

"Honestly, I don't know if you can," Lamar responded, "This is scary enough."

Rachel placed her hand with his. She could feel the trembling from Lamar as she looked at him. Rachel slowly nodded as her eyes matched with his, "You are going to be fine. I am going to be there for you. And if Jake harms you, he's got another thing coming."

Lamar reached for his Relic Detector. Opening his device, he looked at the time, "I got to head over there."

Rachel turned around, "I am going to go."

Lamar turned around as he looked at her, "Rachel… I don't know if this would be a good idea."

"But, what if it's a trap?" asked Rachel.

Lamar turned around as he looked at Rachel. Lamar waved her over as the two of them headed toward the Rusturf Tunnel.


Meanwhile…

Seb, Grace and Zander were helping to clean up Lorina's house. As things were placed back in order and debris tossed, Grace and Zander sat down as they got a new table for Lorina. Lorina grinned as Seb walked by, placing the candles on the table. He turned to him as he looked at her, "I apologize on behalf of us. We weren't expecting this to happen."

"Oh trust me. You weren't the only ones," said Lorina, sitting down with a cup of tea, "Many people wanted these things for years. They were not for sale. I was even robbed."

Seb chuckled as he looked at her, "Well, how did Darcie get in here?"

"Well… I needed a maid," said Lorina, "Didn't know she would be part of Team Dracos. They are a new team… despicable."

"Hmm…," said Zander, sipping the tea that was given, "It's almost like another Team Magma and Team Aqua… but worse."

Grace sighed as she turned to Zander, "Well… I hope they are not as cruel as Team Rocket."

Seb sighed as he looked at his watch. He placed his Relic Detector in his pocket as he walked over toward the rangers, "Where's Rachel?"

Zander nodded as he looked at Grace. Grace smiled a little as she went to speak, "She went to go find Lamar. She is very worried after learning about what Lamar did."

"So… Rachel said it had to do something with these," said Zander, looking at his Oath Ring. The green aura surrounded it as Grace looked at hers, which was bright yellow. Seb turned around looking at his, turning gold.

"I wonder if the Legendary Pokémon we had bonded with our morphers?" asked Grace.

"Well, I guess we will have to wait and see," said Seb, turning around. He yawned as he stood up, walking outside. As he stepped out on the front porch, he noticed Lamar and Rachel walking together toward the Rusturf Tunnel. As they walked inside, Seb turned around as he looked at the rangers.

"I am going to watch the battle," said Seb. Turning around, Grace looked at Zander. Zander looked at Seb, "And what about the dolls?"

"Don't bring them… but I need you guys to protect them," said Seb.

Grace and Zander slowly nodded as he looked at the red ranger. Seb grinned as he walked down the stairs, following the stairs as he headed to the tunnel. Lorina grinned as she walked toward them, "Your friend is a strong leader."

"He tries," said Zander, "He's gotten really good."

As Zander leaned back, he felt a raindrop hit him, not even thinking about what was going on. Looking up, he noticed a Grenagoon with a smile on his face. Jumping on Zander, Grace propped herself on the table and swung her legs to kick Grenagoon down. As the creature landed on the ground, Darcie broke through with the box in hand. As the two dashed out of the building, the rangers nodded as they turned to Lorina.

"Lorina, we'll get them back," said Zander.

Lorina grinned, looking at the two of them, "Be careful."

Grace and Zander ran down the stairs, chasing after them. Getting to the bottom of the stairs, the team chased the monsters into the Rusturf Tunnel. As they walked up the stairs to the inner caves, Grace and Zander followed suit, only to get disrupted by the Draco Grunts.

"Excellent, Draco Grunts," said Zander, turning to Grace, pulling out his morpher, "Ready?"

"Yep," said Grace.

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Flashes of blue and pink surrounded them as they transformed into their ranger suits. As the Draco Grunts charged through, Grace and Zander revealed their Hunter Sabers, cutting through the Draco Grunts as they dashed through the tunnel. As a few ambushed them from above, Zander and Grace rolled forward, changing their sabers to Relic Blasters. Pulling the trigger, gold beams emerged as the Draco Grunts were hit. Sparks flew from their bodies as they continued. Rolling across, more of them showed up.

"Lovely…," said Grace, "More grunts."


In the center of the tunnel, in the fields…

Jake, now in his armor, stared as Lamar walked over toward him. He walked over as he carried his Doom Hammer on his back with his Relic Blaster attached to his right hip. As he stopped walking, he stared at Jake. Jake laughed as he looked at Lamar, noticing Rachel walking toward the group.

"I thought this would be a battle one-on-one," he said.

Rachel shook her head, turning to Lamar. Lamar looked up as she placed her hands on his face, pressing her lips against his. As they kissed passionately in front of Jake, Rachel grinned as she walked away. Jake was somehow triggered as he watched all of that happened.

"Oh, I can't wait to break that apart," Jake muttered as he grabbed both sabers from his back.

Rachel grinned as she sat on the sidelines, "Lamar, you are the best! I love you!"

Jake narrowed his eyes as Lamar pulled out his Relic Blaster. Transforming it into his Hunter Saber, both warriors stood on either side. As the wind brushed forward, a bunch of Taillow flew across. Immediately, Jake charged forward with his saber. Swinging across, Lamar backed up as he blocked it. The blades clashed as they turned around, striking. Lamar swung his foot across, kicking Jake in the stomach. Jake landed on the ground as he dropped his saber. Lamar angled his saber as he dashed toward Jake. Swinging it diagonally, Lamar dodged each move as Jake turned around with his saber. As Jake swung around, Lamar blocked the attack. Lamar pushed the blade back as he pushed Jake backwards. Jake took out his golden and red blaster, shooting green beams. Lamar blocked them with his saber, seeing explosions on either side.

"Come on Lamar," Rachel muttered, turning around. She noticed Seb was sitting by her as she was sitting on the grass. Seb watched quietly as the battle continued to commence.

"I wonder…," said Seb. Seb turned around as he looked at Rachel, "This battle is a hot mess."

"You're telling me. Jake's a violent man," Rachel stated.

Jake began to glow in a golden aura as his saber began to shine in an emerald color, "Draconic Tornado!"

As he released a hurricane wave, Lamar ducked underneath as he pulled out his Relic Blaster. Shooting Jake, Jake screamed as he landed on the ground. Lamar grabbed his Relic Detector and pressed the button on his Relic Detector.

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Transforming into his battle suit, Jake placed his blaster in his holster and revealed his Doom Hammer. The two went at it back and forth. While that was going on, Seb and Rachel turned to their left, noticing Darcie arrived with the box of the Eon Dolls.

"I thought the Eon Dolls were at Lorina's house," said Rachel, turning to Seb.

Seb went to reveal his Relic Detector as he turned to Darcie. Darcie grinned as she looked at them, "Hey guys!"

"Don't…. ever say that again," said Seb, "How did you get the dolls?"

"Simple!"

Seb turned around, noticing Grace and Zander, morphed, fighting the last Draco Grunts. As they dashed forward toward the middle of the courtyard, Zander jumped forward as he grabbed the box. Darcie and Zander had a tug of war over the box. Immediately, Grenagoon grabbed the box. With all of the tugging back and forth, the box broke into pieces. The Eon Dolls flew out of the box. Grenagoon laughed as he jumped up grabbing the dolls. Seb and Rachel turned to each other as Zander and Grace arrived.

"She has been hiding this whole time. This duel was a set up," said Grace, "Good prediction."

"Huh?" asked Darcie, "What do you mean?"

"Simple," said Zander, grinning, "We knew that you would come for the dolls. So, Seb went to meet up with Rachel and Lamar. So… we kind of let you get away."

"What do you mean?" asked Darcie.

Grace and Zander stretched out their hands. A blue and pink aura surrounded them as the Eon Dolls arrived in their hands. Grenagoon looked at the Eon Dolls. Noticing a red and green device, he looked at them as explosions surrounded them.

"How dare you?" asked Darcie.

"I'll handle Darcie… the three of you can handle that Grenagoon guy," Zander said.

Seb nodded as he turned around, "Got it. Rachel?"

"Yup, let's do this!" Rachel shouted with excitement.

The two rangers pulled out their Relic Detectors, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Transforming into their suits, a red and yellow glow surrounded them as they transformed into their suits. The rangers then took out their Hunter Sabers, letting the battle begin.


On the other side of the field…

Lamar yelled as he was flipped in the air, spiraling toward the ground and landing on the grass. Getting up slowly, he groaned as Jake laughed, analyzing him as he crawled to get up.

"What's wrong?" asked Jake, "You need your comrades now?"

Lamar laughed as he looked at him, "I don't need comrades. I fought demons, beasts… you are just a thorn in my past. But, the only reason why I need my comrades… is because we do better together as a team!"

Jake laughed as he glared at him, "Now… let me show you true power! Draconic Doppleganger!"

Immediately, Jake split into multiple duplicates. As they surrounded Lamar, Lamar closed his eyes as he began to focus. As the wind began to pick up, Jake released a green and golden energy beam from his saber, "Draconic Pulse!"

Looking up, Lamar noticed the energy beams from every Jake in the field. As the beams released, a blue aura surrounded Lamar as he looked up, feeling another energy blast. Stabbing the Doom Hammer to the ground, a blue aura surrounded Lamar as the beams exploded, except for one. One beam was coming straight toward him to his right. Looking up, Jake stood there in aghast. A dark aura surrounded his hammer.

"Doom Hammer, Shadow Blizzard!"

Slamming the hammer, a shadow claw emerged out of the beam with snow coming out of the hammer. As the blizzard was formed from his hammer, releasing the shadow claw and energy. Exploding around him, Jake screamed as he landed on the ground. As he flew across, he landed on to Grenagoon and Darcie. The four rangers turned around as Lamar arrived with his Doom Hammer. He flipped forward as he kicked Grenagoon in the stomach. Grenagoon screamed as he landed on the ground. Jake turned around as he looked at Darcie.

"Hunter Armor, activate!" shouted Seb.

Immediately, a red aura surrounded Seb as the armor plating arrived in his left hand. Placing the plate on his chest, 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. As Seb grabbed it by the handle, the other rangers stood behind Seb. Grenagoon stood there with confusion as he was in the line of fire with Darcie and Jake.

"Relic Crusher, Bulldoze Combination Crush!"

Pressing the trigger, a red energy beam shot out, transforming the energy beam into a drill. The drill dug right into Grenagoon's body, causing an explosion to appear. The creature exploded into pieces. Darcie turned around as she looked at her wrist, "Silva!?"

A green aura surrounded her hand as a spell tag appeared. Placing the spell tag on the corpse, a green aura surrounded the body. A golden tornado enlarged as Grenagoon's corpse enlarged, creating a mega-sized body.

"Great…," said Grace, "Just what we need."

Suddenly, explosions surrounded them as Grace and Zander landed on the ground. The two rangers turned around as they carefully got up. As Zander reached for the Eon Doll, a blue aura surrounded it as he disappeared. As they rushed out, Darcie grinned looking at the Eon Doll that was left.

"Relic Hunter Zords, launch!" shouted Seb.

Immediately, the vibrations surrounded the ground as they looked up, noticing the Relic Hunter Zords heading toward the group. Arriving from the sky, the Relic Drivers landed in their hands. Seb and the others pressed a button as they began to materialize in light. Landing in the cockpits, Lamar placed his Relic Driver in the cockpit.

"Adventure Fusion!" shouted Lamar.

He pressed the first five numbers of the morpher and then spun the dial. Immediately, the systems began to haywire as he saw what was going on. 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!"

As the Relic Hunter Megazord threw a punch across, Grenagoon was hit. As a response, sparks flew across at the Relic Hunter Megazord.

"Ah!" shouted the rangers.

"What the-?" asked Seb.

"Ha!" shouted Darcie, "That spell tag worked!"

"Spell tag?" asked Lamar, "I thought it was a new growing mechanism."

"Nope!" shouted Darcie, "When the Spell Tag was used it linked your powers to his. Any attack you make… you get hit too!"

"Say what?" asked Zander.

Immediately, Grenagoon jumped up as he flipped repeatedly in the air. The hands formed as he slashed vertically. The Relic Hunter Megazord moved backwards. Landing on the ground, the rangers were hanging on to the consoles.

"We need to figure out a way…," said Seb, pressing buttons.

"Even if we use the auxiliary zords… they would still damage us," said Lamar.

The rangers yelled as they were hit by Grenagoon repeatedly. Sparks flew across as they held on.

"We need to figure out a way!" shouted Seb.

"… There is," a voice said.

A screen appeared in the cockpit glass with Jack's face in the camera with Urara in the background. Urara stepped forward, "We have a new zord that we just finished. It can easily solve it all."

"Seriously?" asked Lamar.

"Just press 9 and then spin…," said Urara, smiling.

"Got it! Relic Hunter Zord 9, launch!" shouted Lamar, spinning the device.

Outside of the Rusturf Tunnel, there was a buzzing sound. The rangers turned around as they noticed a Heracross floating toward them. The rangers noticed as Heracross's horn stabbed right into the creature. Grenagoon screamed as he landed on the ground, dropping the spell tag. Immediately, the Relic Hunter Megazord picked up the spell tag. Before Darcie and Jake could do anything, the Megazord ripped the tag. Sparks flew across as the Heracross Zord started zipping around.

"I am taking this zord out for a ride!" shouted Lamar, grabbing the Relic Driver.

As he materialized into the cockpit, the cockpit was bright purple with the same gadgets as the other eight zords. Placing the Relic Driver in the console, he drove around as Grenagoon went to release blue beams, shooting the creature.

"Heracross, let's use a Signal Beam!"

Rainbow beams emerged out of Heracross, piercing Grenagoon. Grenagoon released five ninja stars. As they hit the Heracross, explosions surrounded him. Hanging on, Lamar turned the Relic Driver hard to the right as it floated toward the creature.

"Take some Pin Missile!" he shouted.

Lime needles shot out as the creature was hit hard. Grenagoon turned around as a black mist surrounded him. As it floated behind the Heracross Zord, black and purple claws came across, slashing the zord. As the Heracross Zord landed on the ground, Grenagoon stood over as he stomped on the back of the zord. Lamar held on as he was being stomped.

"Now-," he started to say, until the Beedrill Zord drilled right through. Screaming, he landed on the ground as the Beedrill Zord arrived.

"What the… Beedrill Zord?" asked Lamar.

"I was watching you!" said Rachel, sitting in the cockpit, "Let's combine!"

"Right!" Lamar said, turning to the device, "Double Adventure Upgrade!"

Immediately, the Heracross Zord folded its arms and legs as it connected to the left side of the Relic Hunter Megazord. As it installed, the horn on Heracross stretched out. Next, the Beedrill began to fold its arms to right angles as it floated over toward the right arm of the Megazord. Wrapping around, the wings folded on top as the stingers moved down to the end, making a massive drill. A purple lime aura surrounded the Megazord as they went to battle.

"Relic Driller Crane Megazord, Assembly Complete!"

Grenagoon started to attack. As he charged forward, the Heracross horn struck out as Grenagoon was caught. Spinning around, Grenagoon screamed as he was being tossed around. Grenagoon was then thrown across as he landed on the ground. As the earth began to shake, Grenagoon stood up as the two zords began to glow.

"Now…," shouted Lamar.

"Double Twineedle!" shouted the rangers.

Immediately, lime auras surrounded the zords as the Relic Hunter Megazord went to lunge. As the two needles came across, the needles pierced the body. Grenagoon screamed as explosions surrounded him. Dropping to his knees, he landed on the ground, exploding to pieces.

"There we go!" shouted Lamar.


Later that day…

Walking across, the rangers were heading back toward the cave. Looking around, Lamar sighed as he looked at the sunset. He grinned, turning toward the other rangers. Seb grinned as he looked at Lamar, "So…."

"Yeah?" asked Lamar.

"Do you think you will finish him off?" asked Seb.

"Eventually," said Lamar, "But, right now. We have a mission, right?"

Seb grinned as he looked at Lamar, "I have to admit, tapping into the Mystic Titans without your magic was pretty awesome."

"I never knew I could do that," said Lamar, raising his hand behind his head, "I wouldn't be surprised if we all can one day."

Seb grinned, "True."

He turned around as he looked at the others. Rachel walked over as she turned to the two of them. Lamar grinned as he looked at Rachel. Rachel nodded as she put her hands with his left hand. Before he could say anything.

"Seb, everyone!"

The rangers turned around as they looked at Grace and Zander. Zander turned around as he looked at Grace. Grace nodded as she turned to Seb. Their faces were full of horror.

"What's up?" asked Seb.

Zander and Grace looked at each other as they noticed that they had ONE of the Eon Dolls.

"Where's the other doll?" asked Lamar.

"Oh boy, Jack is not going to be happy," said Grace.


Meanwhile…

Darcie was walking in the middle of the woods. As she wore a black business suit with a green dress shirt, she was carrying a brown box with one of the dolls. She grinned as she noticed someone familiar in the shadows. Stopping to meet her, he walked over as he revealed himself. He laughed a little as his bluish claws were exposed to the light.

"I see you that you found the Eon Dolls," he said.

She grinned as she looked at the mysterious figure, "Here. Silva is very happy that you and Maxie want to join us."

As she reached her arm out, he grabbed the box. Stepping into the sunlight, his face was shown. Darcie looked in shock, "A… Archie. I thought-."

Archie waved his fingers, opening the box. He looked up as he raised his claw, striking her down, "Scamp, where is the other doll?"

"I guess… the rangers may have it?" asked Darcie.

"Unbelievable. We need both dolls to execute the plan. For everyone's sake," he said, turning around, "We'll handle it."

Darcie gulped as Archie walked away. As she stood there with terror, a blue aura surrounded Archie as he disappeared…

To Be Continued…
