Anyway... back to the story.
"So…," said Grace, walking in the woods.
The rangers were heading straight toward Meteor Falls. They had some cuts and minor bruises as they were walking through the trees. She stopped as she looked at them, "We can't contact Seb… we can't teleport."
"Yup! Whatever they did… they did a great job!" Rachel stated.
"But, we need to get to Meteor Falls and take that transit to the HQ," Lamar said, breathing heavily, "But, its going to be a couple days walk. There's no way we are going to be getting there."
Zander sighed as he looked at the mountains off Route 116. The trees were bustling with life as he looked up. He fell to his knees as he looked at the sun, "We're doomed."
"Oh, pull yourself together!" Rachel shouted, grabbing him by the collar, "We've been through rough patches and we can do it again."
Zander grumbled, "True. But, we can't magically go anywhere."
"And you definitely need to let that go," said Lamar, "The past is the past."
Lamar turned around as he looked up at the mountains, "I wish there was a way to get to Meteor Falls."
As he walked on the grass, he turned around as he heard a voice, "Do you need a lift?"
Lamar turned around as he looked over. The rangers turned to each other as they looked at a woman who sat in a black jeep. She had pink hair that was bubbly down past her shoulders. She had pinkish eyes as she wore a black t-shirt with blue jeans. She also wore black bracelets with silver designs on the wrists. She grinned as she walked toward them. Zander looked up as he was amazed at her beauty. He walked toward her.
"Yes, please," said Zander, grinning, "The name's Zander, so much to meet you."
She giggled, "Oh Zander, it's nice to meet you. My name is Mika Alden… Jack Farrell's fiancé."
"Say what?" asked Zander.
The rangers looked at her as Grace stepped forward, "Mika, thank you so much."
"Grace, Rachel and Lamar… I heard so much about you," said Mika, grinning, "I am glad that I get to meet you. But, I was here to escort you. There's not much time."
As they were about to get into the car, they heard the sound of rustling. The rangers turned around as they noticed the Dracos Grunts. The rangers turned around as they went to fight them.
"Really… they are involved?" asked Grace.
"Hee hee…," a voice said.
Turning around, the rangers noticed Darcie arrive with her weapons, "It's about time we defeat you."
"Huh?" asked Zander.
"Archie and Maxie have the Relic Hunter Megazord… and now… wait, there's four of you. Well, still… we were told to hunt you down by foot," said Darcie.
"Well, this is going to be fun…," said Rachel, "Let's go guys!"
"Right!" said the rangers, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"
Grabbing their morphers, they went to slide across. As they did, nothing was happening. The rangers turned around as they looked at each other.
"I forgot to mention that due to what was going on, Jack shut off the morphing grid until you returned," said Mika, "But, as usual… things don't go according to plan."
Grace groaned as she placed her morpher back, "Well, I guess hand to hand combat it is."
"Not really…," said Mika, grinning, as she looked at them, "I can whip these Dracos Grunts in shape. I could use your help. But, I can be quick…"
"Who do you think you are?" asked Darcie, waving her saber, "You are just an average woman."
Mika rolled her eyes, "She doesn't know."
As the Dracos Grunt went to throw a punch, Mika looked at the grunt as she threw a punch back. As the grunt spun around, Mika used a spinning hook kick, knocking the grunt down. As she turned around, the other rangers decided to fight using hand to hand combat. Mika looked over as Darcie went to strike. Mika blocked each move as she threw a punch. Darcie went to strike her down as Mika flipped backwards. Jumping on the tree trunk, Mika flew back as she threw both fists in the air, punching Darcie in the face. Darcie screamed as she released green beams from her saber. Mika flipped forward as she landed on her feet.
"So… that's how you play," said Mika.
"You are just an average human," said Darcie.
Grace turned around as she flipped forward, kicking Darcie in the stomach. Darcie stumbled as she tried to get up.
"Darcie fights dirty, but I guess you know," she said.
Mika nodded, "I'll handle her."
She reached for her back pocket. She pulled out a silver buckler with a Poochyena coin that was connected. Grace looked at the morpher, "Wait…"
Darcie turned around as she looked, "You have to be kidding me!"
Mika stretched the morpher out in front of her and then twisted the morpher, opening the buckler.
"Poochyena!"
A black aura surrounded her as she transformed into her suit. She wore a black suit with a white diamond pattern on her chest and black diamond pattern on her white gloves and boots. She had a white belt with her morpher attached with a Blade Blaster attached to it. Her helmet was shaped like a Poochyena.
"Black Mighty Morphin' Poké Ranger!"
Darcie released green beams from her saber. Immediately, Mika flipped forward as she scratched her face with her glove. Screaming, she landed on the ground as Mika landed on her feet. Grace stood there, stunned. However, she continued to face off the grunts.
The other rangers were handling them on the other side. As Lamar blocked both of the grunts, he kicked a few of them in the stomach. Landing on the surface, he smashed one of them in the face. However, as he finished, someone kicked him in the face. Looking up, it was Jake.
"Jake!"
"Say goodbye!"
Lamar kicked him in the face as he rolled backwards. Getting up, Jake went to slice with his saber. Lamar cringed as he Jake made a deep cut to his shirt. A red line appeared as Jake continued to face him. Jake jumped up to strike as Lamar rolled across. Jake turned around as he continued to strike with his saber. As he raised his saber, flames emerged from behind as he was hit. Jake landed on the ground as Lamar looked over. Jack arrived, morphed with his saber in hand.
"Jack!" shouted Lamar.
"You okay?" asked Jack.
"Yeah…," said Lamar.
Jake groaned as he went to strike, "Shadow Ninja Strike!"
As he released multiple swords, Jack stood in front of Lamar as he put his hands together. A red glow surrounded him as he duplicated.
"Red Ranger Doppleganger!"
Jake turned around as he noticed multiple red rangers surrounding him. Jake turned around, scared as he was trying to figure out the real one.
"Evolution Kiryoku! Flame Charge!"
Taking his Torch Sword and Blade Blaster, he combined them together as a red lightning bolts surrounded him, piercing Jake. Jake yelled as he landed on the ground, explosions surrounded him as he fell on the surface.
"That… was epic," Lamar said.
Mika turned around as she and Darcie were having a fight. Grace jumped over as she kicked Darcie in the face. Darcie screamed as she went to stab her. However, Grace leaned back as Darcie flipped on her foot, causing her to land on the ground. Darcie looked over as she looked at her, "You…"
"Now….," said Mika, "Evolution Kiryoku! Shadow Phantasm!"
As she stretched out her palms, a green aura surrounded her as a Mightyena emerged from her suit, charging after her. Darcie screamed as she flew to the ground. As the Dracos Grunts landed on the ground, Jack and Mika stood as the two villains looked at each other.
"No matter what happens, Seb is in danger… and by the time you figure out, it will be too late," said Darcie.
A green aura surrounded them as they disappeared. Jack and Mika took a deep breath as they turned to the other rangers. Jack and Mika removed their helmets as they looked at the group.
"I was hoping to have the grid activated before any of this happened. But, Seb transferred all the controls to me before he turned off everything," said Jack.
"So, he's alive?" asked Rachel.
"Yes," said Jack, "For now…"
Zander grinned, "I just can't believe your fiancé was able to fight with elegance."
Jack grinned as he looked at Zander, "Hands off, lover boy."
"Relax…," said Mika, laughing, "I'll take it as a compliment. He gets very feisty when people look at me… especially men."
Zander nodded, agreeing with Mika's statement, "I get it."
Jack nodded as he went to being serious, "But, we need to get back to the base. I have to explain the full disclosure of what's going on…"

Chapter 12: The Battle of Southern Island
As the doors opened in Rangers HQ, Lamar and the others stepped into the main center. Mika, who looked around, was amazed at what she saw, looking at Jack. Jack sighed as he looked at her, waiting for her to say something.
"So, this is why you have postponed the wedding," said Mika.
"Well… when you can revive a legendary dragon… you have to go full throttle!" Jack said.
"Regardless," said Grace, "What's going on?"
The doors opened as JT walked in with his flash drive. Inserting the flash drive, the rangers turned around as they saw the map.
"We were able to turn on the grid for you guys to morph…we also didn't want Archie and Maxie to learn about the secret of the grid," said Jack.
Lamar nodded slowly as JT began to speak, "The Relic Hunter Megazord is heavily damaged. Both teams disabled it successfully. It could take hours to repair, maybe days."
Grace turned around as she looked at the other zords, "And the other two?"
"Both have minor damage but can be repaired with ease. I don't know if we can repair your zords though seeing they are out of reach," said JT.
"So the only two zords operational are the Sceptile and Abomasnow Zords," said Zander, sighing, "Great."
"For now," said Jack, turning to the others, "But, we are also tracking Seb's movements."
"How?" asked Rachel.
Jack grinned as he looked at the Megazord, "I implanted a device to track him in the event the Relic Detector did not."
Mika turned around as she looked at him, noticing the direction they are going.
"It looks like they are heading… east," said Mika.
Lamar nodded as there was an image showing up. Both robots were carrying the Relic Hunter Megazord in the rough currents of Route 134, heading south toward an island. Grace turned around as she looked at them, "I need to process this. Seb burnt the doll. So, why does Archie and Maxie have the other doll? I feel like I am missing a piece of the puzzle."
"Simple… Archie had the other doll…," said Jack, "And in that doll was a map."
"And seeing that they were two…," said Zander, turning around, "Seb has the map."
"Right…," he said, "Seb and Archie have the maps. The dolls were not needed. However, there is more to it."
He walked over toward the group as he sat down. The others nodded as they followed suit. The rangers turned around as they looked at each other. Jack folded his hands as he spoke, "On Southern Island, there is a golden device that both Latios and Latias protected. It was the Eon Engine? In ancient times, it was used to power up the city. But, it was hidden from Mariah and the foes and it was locked away on Southern Island. The two dolls were then used as a way to hide it… but there's more to it. I sent Seb on a secret mission to retrieve the engine."
"Why?" asked Rachel.
"To integrate into our zord system…," said Jack.
"… Well… wait…," said Lamar, "We have nine zords… all we have to do is upgrade 2 at a time."
Zander looked at Lamar, "That's not what he's saying."
Lamar looked confused as Zander looked up at Jack, "Do you mean to tell me… that the Relic Hunter Megazord can have a nine zord combination?"
Jack slowly nodded as he looked at the rangers, "Yes. The Relic Hunter Megazord was originally designed for a nine zord combination. But, our Poké Coins could only do so much but power up five zords and extra to fill the nine. We need that engine. But, we also know what will happen if Maxie, Archie or even Silva get it."
"Well…," said Rachel, turning to the team, "Let's go get that engine!"
"There's a hiccup to the plan… but it could be to our great advantage," said Jack, "You need to go back to that house you were in. The team forgot something that we detected. If you can get it to Seb, he can unlock the engine."
"But, how can we do that with two zords damaged?" asked Grace.
Mika crossed her arms as she looked at Jack. Jack grinned as she looked at her, "Amy, Urara, JT, Max, Mika and I will work on upgrading your zords and repairing them for the transfer. Seb is already working on the repairs so he can integrate the engine."
Rachel nodded as she turned to the group, "Alright team. Let's head back to town."
Meanwhile…
The Sharpebot and the Camerbot were continuing to drag the Relic Hunter Megazord into the ocean. As the waves were getting rushed, the robots were dragging the Megazord through the waves with the bright sunlight fading west. As the sun was setting, Seb was sitting down in one of the main computers down by the main core of their Megazord. Sighing, he was working on the wires that were frayed. He took out a metal clips, trying to fix the metal wiring in the system. He knew that the Megazord needed to be repaired professionally. However, if they planned on surviving, he had to repair what he could.
Finding foil, he managed to wrap it around and clip the metal clips on the foil. The foil then sparked as the wires began to activate. He looked up as he saw the energy output monitor. Turning it on, he noticed the bar jump up a few percentages.
"Well… at least our energy is back up to 70 percent. But, it may not last," he said to himself, turning off the monitor. He turned around as he headed toward the weapons area.
In the robots, the two of them were walking step by step, communicating with each other.
"So…," said Maxie, "Are you sure this engine is on Southern Island?"
"That's were Latios and Latias were hiding anyway…," said Archie, "If we can get that engine, we will be invincible!"
"But, there's only one engine," said Maxie, "Who will get first dibs?"
"We can figure it out when we get there," said Archie, "We need to make sure we drop the scrap heap to the Southern Island, steal their precious information on the artifacts and then we can fight over the engine!"
As they continued to walk a few more steps, crunching on the waves, the moon was shining brightly as they noticed an island off the coast. Stopping, the Sharpebot scanned the area. Green and red light surrounded the eyes of the robot as it scanned the island.
"Confirmed," said Matt, "That's Southern Island."
"Well," said Archie, "Let's get on with it."
Meanwhile…
For the third time, the other rangers were climbing up the rocky mountain stairs in Verdanturf Town in the middle of the early evening. They all had flashlights as they were heading up the crushed stairs. As they got to the top of the house, the door was already broken due to the burnt damage. The house still smelled like burnt ash due to the destruction of the house earlier that day. As they searched around to see nothing but ash, the rangers were looking around the area, scanning it.
Zander walked toward the kitchen. As he did, he broke through one of the wooden tiles. He looked up as he turned to the others. Lamar looked over, noticing the broken piece on the floor.
"It's obvious that when they tried to burn us the structure of this house is not sustainable," said Lamar, looking at the wall.
"Very true," said Grace, "But, luckily for us, we are only looking for one thing."
"One thing?" asked Zander, "By the time we look for it, we could have damaged half the house…"
As he said so, he crushed into another box that was broken due to the flames, "Or destroy it."
Rachel turned around as she scanned her flashlight into one of the bedrooms. As she opened the door, she noticed the bedroom was different. The room was not burnt as badly unlike the other rooms in the house. Black ash was lathered on the walls and the windows were closed. As she got on all fours, she felt that the floor was still intact as she went to check underneath the bed. Doing so, she noticed a black metal box with a silver dial.
"Interesting," said Rachel. Rachel headed over to the head of the bed and grabbed the box that was attached to the wall. As she saw the chain connected, she noticed a red and green wire connected to it. She then saw a golden plastic explosive on the wall.
"They knew we would be here," said Rachel. She turned around as she reached for her pocket. As she picked out a mini cutter, she went toward the wires and cut both at the same time. Doing so, the plastic explosive shut off right away. Taking a breath, she grabbed the box and carried it back into the kitchen. Lamar, Grace and Zander looked over as Rachel had the box in hand.
"Where were you?" asked Zander.
"The master bedroom… where this thing was linked to a plastic explosive…," said Rachel.
Lamar turned around, "Is it-?"
"Well, I may have cut the wires, but I do not want to take any chances," said Rachel, "Let's teleport back to HQ."
As they reached for their Relic Detectors, they pressed a button and slid across their arms. Energy formed from their ranger color as they disappeared from the house.
Arriving back at Ranger HQ…
The doors opened as Jack and Max stood there in shock. Rachel looked at them as she had the black safe in her hand, "You look relieved."
"Well, no sooner you teleported, the house exploded… must've been a trap," said Jack.
Rachel turned to the others. The others turned to Rachel as they were surprised, yet relieved.
"Well, I am glad that we were able to find this. It was connected to the plastic explosive," said Rachel.
Jack grinned as he turned to them, "Well… let's get working. Bring that to the lab and Urara can analyze. The rest of you…,"
Jack turned around as he looked at the zord bay, "Cracking the code may take some time. I need you to modify the auxiliary zords to prepare for our secret weapon."
Lamar nodded, "Just let us know what we need."
Meanwhile…
The doors opened wide as Maxie arrived, looking at the Relic Hunter Megazord's cockpit. They only arrived on Southern Island a while ago. Both robots released the Relic Hunter Megazord, which gave the two groups the perfect opportunity to go inside and seize the Megazord. However, when they walked in, they were very surprised at what they saw.
"So…," said Archie, looking at the consoles, "There isn't a single console."
Shelly and Matt turned around as they examined the cockpit with the lights on. Noticing that the walls were blank, they did notice there was a screen online. As Shelly went to press a few buttons, an alarm went on.
"Access Denied. Needs prior authorization!"
"Say what?" asked Maxie, "But…"
"I just pressed a button," said Shelly, "They must've locked everything out. Which means we won't find the location of the other artifacts."
"That angers me," said Archie.
"Yeah," said Maxie, "Me too. Let's leave. By the time we get the engine, we can use this Megazord to our advantage."
Five minutes later, both teams vacated the Relic Hunter Megazord. Walking away, Maxie turned around to Courtney and Tabitha as Team Aqua went to split.
"So…," said Tabitha, "Are we actually going to use the Relic Hunter Megazord?"
"Once we reprogram it and wipe it clean," said Maxie, "And if we use the engine, it would be perfect."
As Team Magma were conversing on one side of the area, Seb peeked his head from a rock formation, analyzing what was going on. He grinned as he had the map in his hand. He noticed the few formations in the area.
"I better get that engine and install it before they do," he said to himself.
Immediately, he placed his Relic Driver into a ditch that was next to him. He then quickly began to cover it with dirt, leaving the black handle open for him to see. He looked around as he dashed deep into the woods. As he ran up the stone steps and into a field of flowers, he accidentally stopped running as a bunch of Aqua Grunts intercepted. They stood there in surprise.
"He's alive?" one of them asked.
Seb sighed, "Great. Well, I know I can't have you let you leave alive…."
He reached for his Relic Detector, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"
Sliding the device across his left arm, a red aura surrounded him as he transformed into his suit. He kicked two of them in the stomach, rolling on a field of grass. He pulled out his Relic Blaster. Pulling the trigger, shots fired as the group landed on the ground.
He turned around as a few more showed up.
"Hunter Blade!"
Slashing a few of the creatures, the Aqua Grunts stumbled to their doom. As the last grunt was cut, he looked at the dead corpses. A red aura surrounded him as he transformed out of his suit.
"Told you I couldn't let you live," said Seb, looking at the map, "Moving on now…"
He started marching on, walking into the thickets of the woods with the map in hand.
Meanwhile…
The auxiliary zords in the Zord Bay were illuminated as the systems were online. Inside each cockpit, the four rangers were working on them using their Relic Drivers.
Rachel, who was inside the Beedrill Zord, was pressing a few buttons as she was scanning the screen. The Beedrill Zord began to power up as it filled the whole screen. As she noticed the background turning green, a screen popped up.
"Hey, how are things?" asked Rachel, "I finally finished modifying."
Grace, who was in the Gyarados Zord, was siting down as she was looking at the zord, noticing the screen and the status, she pressed the button on the Relic Driver, "I am just about to finish modifying the zord."
"Right…," said Lamar, sitting in the Heracross Zord, pressing a few buttons, "It took me a lot, but at least the whole entire modification of the zord is complete."
Zander, who in the Abomasnow Zord, was also looking at the screen, "I've been ready."
Lamar turned around as he saw the screen light up in the Heracross Zord. He then turned to Rachel, "Alright, modifications done."
"Good…," said Rachel, "Now…"
She reached into her pocket, noticing a flash drive that was in her pocket. She pressed a red button on the driver as a USB port appeared. She pressed a few buttons, "Install the Fusion System!"
"How are you doing this?" asked Grace, looking over.
"I am just reading the directions Jack gave me," said Rachel.
"Ah, I see," said Grace, looking over.
"Well… at least its progress," said Lamar, turning over to the screen. He pressed a button on the console, "Hey, Urara. We are downloading the fusion sequence now."
"Good," said Urara, as her office appeared on the screen, "That's good to know. We should have that installed in the other five zords in an hour."
Back on Southern Island…
Jumping to the other side of the cliff, Seb started walking down the path as he was looking at the mini cliffs that were knee deep. Stepping down, he rushed down the hill as he noticed a huge mountain. Running across the path, he turned around as he felt something snap from his feet. Looking across, two totems that look like Latios turned to Seb. Seb jumped up as needles popped out. He flipped forward as he landed on his feet. Turning around, two steel armored like warriors arrived with axes as they went to strike. Seb jumped over as he kicked the two of them in the stomach. Landing on the ground, he winced in pain as he fell. The two walked over with their weapons. Seb rolled across as he reached for his Relic Detector. Pressing a button, a red aura surrounded his right hand as the Relic Blaster arrived. Shooting them down, a red beam lashed out, piercing the chest armor. As they fell to the ground, Seb limped over to the center. He sighed as he looked at the center, turning around to see nothing. Behfore he could say anything, the floor opened up from underneath. Seb yelled as he landed on the ground. The door closed above him as he looked at the area.
"Well…" he said, "It's pitch black."
Looking around, he noticed a loud roar. Turning around, Seb went to turn on his Relic Detector. He turned around as he looked around with his light. Turning around, he could see the light illuminate… until he found a steel warrior ready to strike. Seb quickly blocked it as he pulled out his blaster. Shooting him, the beam was deflected.
"No way!" shouted Seb.
As he went to strike, Seb transformed his blaster into a blade. Using his Relic Detector as a light, he fought the creature with his blade. Pushing the creature down with his foot, he slashed the creature across, causing him to back away. Seb turned around as he noticed an opening to the area. Looking up, he noticed some rock formations attached to the wall. Looking up, the warrior went to strike. Seb transformed the blade back into a blaster. Pulling the trigger, red beams pierced the rock formation as the creature was hit. However, due to a blind shot, the whole cave wall began to collapse. Seb turned around as he saw the opening. Jumping through, he slid down the cave wall as the rock formation covered the entrance.
As he landed on the ground, he rolled onto his back, noticing some light. Breathing heavily, with sweat down his face and all over his body, Seb looked up as he noticed a bright blue lake in front of him. Walking toward the lake, he began to examine it. Looking up, he then noticed an emerald box in the center of the lake. Seb sighed as he looked over at the area.
"Well…," he said, stripping off his shirt, knowing how fast he wanted to get to the middle of the location, "I guess I don't have a choice."
He attached the Relic Blaster to his left hip. He took a deep dive as he swam, hoping that he wasn't going to get attacked by anything suspicious. Rapidly, he started swimming as fast he could. Jumping off to the middle of the island, he was breathing heavily. He managed to get to the center of the lake unharmed. As he jumped up, he reached for the emerald box. Opening the box, he looked at it. There was a mini golden engine with Latios and Latias designs.
"Ah… the Eon Engine… excellent," said Seb.
Turning around, he swam back into the lake. Swimming with the engine in his hand, he managed to get to the end, only to have something grab him from behind. As Seb yelled, he threw the engine at his shirt. Being grabbed underneath, he landed deep in the lake. Seb turned around as he noticed a creature grab him by the tail. It was a Tentacruel-Feraligatr hybrid creature that looked at him. Seb then pulled the Relic Blaster out, shooting the creature. The creature screamed as Seb was released. Seb turned around as he started to float back, shooting the creature behind him as he jumped out. Grabbing his shirt, he looked up as the new creature screamed.
Seb looked at the creature as it released an ice beam attack. Seb rolled across as he hid behind a rock. As the creature screamed, looking around, Seb took a deep breath as he put his shirt on, looking at the cave. He placed the engine in his pocket.
"That creature is insane!" he muttered, turning around as he looked at the creature. Turning around, he noticed a few Aqua Grunts surrounding him. Seb turned around as he then noticed Archie, Matt and Shelly.
"Well…," said Archie, "Hand over the engine. It was nice to see that you injured one of my creatures."
"I guess you then were on the other side of the island," said Seb.
"Same!" shouted Maxie, looking at him with Courtney and Tabitha. The Magma Grunts arrived as they took out their weapons. Snapping his finger, a Typhlosion-Golem creature arrived. He was a made out of a Golem with Typhlosion flames popping out. He also had hands and feet with greenish red eyes. The Feraligatr-Tentacruel creature was a humanoid Feraligatr with a Tentacruel face. The creature had tentacles down with its hands.
"Tentagator…," said Archie.
"Golphlosion…," said Maxie.
"Get our engine!"
Immediately, Seb pulled out his Relic Blaster, pulling the trigger. As he shot rock formations in the corners, the cave began to shake as Seb began to climb up the stairs. The rocks began to land on a couple of Magma and Aqua Grunts. As Seb climbed up a rock formation, Shelly aimed with her harpoon. Blue beams shot as Seb was hit in the left arm. Looking up, he noticed a piercing arrow in his left arm. However, he kept going. The blood was coming out as he reached the formation before she could get another shot. As he leapt over, another harpoon shot arrived and missed. Seb looked up as he pulled the arrow out. Cringing in pain, he dashed over as he ran toward the woods.
Meanwhile back in Ranger HQ...
"Alright," said Jack, "It seems we were able to get his location…"
"Good!" said Rachel, looking over, "So, what are we seeing?"
The rangers were sitting in the main area as the rangers were looking at the robots as well as the location. A picture of the Relic Hunter Megazord was shown and in a rock formation was Seb's Relic Driver.
"So… Seb hid his Relic Driver, as if he was expecting us to come," said Lamar.
"Yep," said Jack, "And with this new combination… we can pierce the shields of both robots."
"Good!" said Rachel, turning around, looking at the other rangers. Grace, however, was sitting down at the table, sighing as she was looking at her necklace. Looking up, Grace grinned as Rachel sat down. Urara, who was also there, walked over.
"Alright, girl, speak," said Rachel.
"Yeah, spill the tea!" Urara stated.
Grace looked up as she turned to him, "I'm glad we found him…"
"But, you wish you were there," said Urara.
Grace nodded slowly, "I didn't trust him. Now I feel like a jerk."
Rachel turned around as she looked at Urara, "Well…."
Urara turned around as she looked at her. She reached for the black box that they found from Verdanturf Town. Opening the box, the rangers looked as they noticed a golden map. Opening, the rangers noticed a whole entire map.
"So…," said Grace, "Is this?"
"The Eon Dolls had half of the map. But, the master map was in the hands of Team Aqua this whole time," said Urara, looking at the map, "But, they've had the whole map the whole time. So, they really didn't need the Relic Hunter Megazord."
"Unless…," said Rachel, "But, why would we need the Megazord… unless…"
"They will find the relics that we've already recovered," said Grace, looking up to meet Rachel's face, "You see, I wouldn't be surprised if they knew Seb was on that island."
"Which means… only one thing," said Grace.
"The grid!" shouted the ladies.
Turning around, Lamar and Zander looked at them as Jack turned around, hearing their reaction. Jack walked over as he turned to the zords, "Exactly. Seb did burn the doll… but he kept the map. But, I also told him that this was going to be a dangerous mission. Seb knew that this was going to be risky. His orders were to get the engine and return… but now that's no longer the case. Your orders are to bring him back with the engine and bring the Megazord home before they learn about us. The whole map, unlike the Eon Dolls, has coordinates that will send you straight to Southern Island."
"How was that map found?" asked Lamar, "Just asking."
"It seems that one of them must've found it where Mariah was buried…," said Jack, "Or sealed at this point."
Rachel nodded, "Either way, we won't let you down."
Urara turned around as she heard beeping noises on her phone. Immediately, JT's voice appeared on call as she pressed the green button.
"Hey, rangers. Modifications for all zords are complete. I was even able to load the information to the Relic Hunter Megazord… which I was surprised I could with Southern Island being off the grid," said JT.
"Excellent, great job!" Jack responded.
Rachel turned around, picking up her Relic Driver, "Rangers, to the zords!"
Meanwhile…
Seb jump kicked another Magma Grunt in the face as he went to slash another creature in the face. As he ran down the hill, heading to the beach. He slashed a few more of them with the Hunter Blade. Looking to his right, the Magma Grunts went to strike. Quickly, Seb turned around, seeing a vine that was hanging from the tree. Grabbing the vine, he swung across as explosions surrounded him. Jumping off the vine, he landed on the ground, rolling. As he landed on his back, he kept going.
Seb dashed down back to where he was when he first arrived. As he dashed toward the rock formation, he immediately went to pull out his Relic Driver. Pulling out the Relic Driver, he managed to dash straight toward the Megazord. As he was panting with breath, beams struck from behind as Seb was hit by explosions. Flipping forward, he landed on the ground as the door opened toward one of the entrances of the zords. Climbing into the Megazord, he started climbing up the ladders toward the engine room as quickly as possible. As he reached for the engine room, he noticed that almost everything was in place.
"They have a good five minutes," said Seb. He reached for the canister as he placed the Eon Engine in the glass canister. As wires automatically wrapped around it, he headed toward the main engine core. It was a silver core with red and golden pipes. Opening the door, he placed the Eon Engine in the core. Pressing the red button, the engines began to activate. Seb grinned as he dashed over with his Relic Driver. Suddenly, he could hear door slamming. Dashing out toward the cockpit, he started climbing more ladders.
"By the time I get up there, the engine will be high powered and ready to go," he said.
Suddenly, an explosion started shaking him as he held on. Looking up, he headed toward the main entrance. As the door opened, he turned around as he placed the Relic Driver in his cockpit. He went to sit down as he placed his Relic Detector on the side.
"Relic Hunter Megazord, main power online!" shouted Seb.
The lights turned on as he pressed a few buttons. Immediately, the shields began to rise as the chains break open. The Relic Hunter Megazord shook it off as the chains landed on the ground. Tentagator and Golphlosion looked at the Relic Hunter Megazord as the creatures turned to Maxie and Archie.
"Do it… use our robots!" said Maxie.
"Agreed…," said Archie, "Disable that Megazord and take the engine. Then, kill the red ranger!"
"You got it!" shouted Tentagator.
"Time to kill a ranger!" shouted Golphlosion.
Jumping up from the ground, they landed in the Sharpebot and the Camerbot. Tentagator laughed as he pressed a few buttons, releasing the Sharpebot. The Sharpebot started marching forward as it slashed the Relic Hunter Megazord. As sparks flew across in the cockpit, Seb held on as he went to throw a punch. The punch deflected back as the shield activated. The Camerbot turned around as it slashed the Relic Hunter Megazord.
"Take this!" shouted Golphlosion.
Grabbing the joystick, the Camerbot released flames from its fingers. Explosions surrounded the Relic Hunter Megazord. Sparks flew as Seb held on.
"I am going to have a hard time holding them off…," Seb said, pressing a few buttons, "Oh… well, it would help if the weapons were online!"
Maxie, who was sitting, watching the battle, looked at Archie as he turned to them, "So… it's going to be nice seeing him fall."
Archie grinned as he looked at him, "Yes, it will."
He looked at Matt and Shelly with a grin on his face. Matt and Shelly grinned silently back, responding to Archie as Maxie turned around.
Tentagator laughed as he pressed a few buttons, "Now… let's -."
Before he could speak, green needles appeared from the east, piercing the armor. Sparks flew out as the creature started going backwards. Archie turned around as he looked at the armor, "Nothing should've penetrated that armor!"
Matt slowly turned around as he looked at the ocean. His eyes grew as he tugged on Archie, "Archie! Look!"
Archie looked over at the ocean, seeing four different robotic images appearing through the clouds. Archie rolled his eyes as he turned to Maxie. Maxie turned around as he looked at the images. Courtney and Tabitha observed the images as they appeared closer. Once they got through the thick clouds, the Auxilary Zords arrived, floating or flying through the ocean.
"Seb!" shouted Grace in the Gyarados Zord, "We made it!"
"Guys? What are you doing here?" asked Seb.
"Simple!" said Lamar, flying through on the Heracross Zord, "Did you honestly think we would let you fight alone?"
Zander, in the Abomasnow Zord, yawned as he looked at him, "We can't let you go on an adventure alone, dude. It's not our way!"
"Jack filled us in!" said Rachel, "Sorry for us being so upset about the dolls."
Seb shook his head as he grinned, "Don't mention it. By the way… my weapons are disabled."
"Yeah…," said Lamar, "You should know."
Before Seb could continue, he looked across as the robots began to release energy beams at the Auxiliary Zords.
"Pin Missile!" shouted Rachel.
"Hyper Beam!" shouted Grace.
"Signal Beam!" shouted Lamar.
"Wood Hammer!" shouted Zander.
Pressing the few buttons, lime-green needles, a golden energy blast, a rainbow energy blast and a green wooden hammer was thrown as the robots were damaged. The shield armor was being devastated as Seb stood there in the Megazord. Seb turned around as he looked at the Sharpebot. The Sharpebot released a blue energy beam, heading straight toward the Relic Hunter Megazord. Seb gulped as he pressed a random button. Immediately, a golden aura surrounded the right fist as the Adventure Saber materialized. The Adventure Saber split the energy beam in pieces.
"I'm done with this!" shouted Seb.
A Poké Ball with a compass appeared behind the Megazord as the engines began to increase.
"Adventure Saber, Hunter Overdrive!"
As the saber cut across, the blade pierced the metal, piercing the Sharpebot. As red and blue bolts surrounded it, Tentagator screamed as the Sharpebot landed on the ground. Sparks surrounded the robot as it exploded into multiple pieces. The creature screamed as more explosions surrounded it. The Camerbot released magma bombs from its fingers, hitting the Relic Hunter Megazord. Explosions surrounded the cockpit as the Relic Hunter Megazord. Landing on the ground, Seb pressed a few buttons as he tried to get the Relic Hunter Megazord online.
"I am not going to lose!" he shouted.
Before he could move, he heard a beeping noise. Pressing the blue button, JT's face popped up on the screen with Amy in the background.
"So nice to see you!" shouted Seb.
"I'm sure," said JT, "Anyway, Jack's secret weapon is ready. We just needed to modify your zords."
Seb nodded, "Are you sure we can? The Megazord still has some major damage I could not fix."
"You fixed what you could," said Amy, "It should still be fine. All zords should activate now."
Seb nodded as he turned off their communication. He then turned to the other rangers, "Rangers, begin sequence for Super Adventure Fusion…"
"Got it!" yelled the rangers.
Seb turned around as he pressed the white button on the console, "Super Adventure Fusion!"
Immediately, he pressed numbers 1 through 9 on the Relic Detector, he then swiped the spinner.
Super Adventure Formation!
The Abomasnow Zord's head projected off from its body. The Abomasnow Zord split in half as the bottom half flipped up ninety degrees. The Abomasnow Zord's body connected to the armor of the Relic Hunter Megazord's legs. The Beedrill Zord folded its arms as it connected to the right arm of the Megazord, with the stinger facing the opponent. The Gyarados Zord split in half and covered the left arm of the Megazord. The bottom half and the top half snapped together on the left arm. The Heracross Zord snapped to the back of the Megazord with the horn detached. The Abomasnow's head opened as it connected to the head of the Relic Hunter Megazord.
The doors opened from the other cockpits as the other rangers arrived with their Relic Drivers.
"This formation worked!" shouted Lamar.
"I can't wait to use this," said Rachel.
"Agreed," said Grace, "Let's kick some monster butt… literally."
"I would like to get this done and over with," said Zander.
"Super Relic Hunter Megazord, Assembly Complete!"
The Camerbot released flame like rockets. As it hit the Megazord, the armor was not damaged. The Megazord walked forward. With its left arm, the Beedrill stinger drilled into the robot. The robot sparked up as it landed on the ground. The Gyarados arm released blue and golden energy bolts, causing the Camerbot to stumble.
"I can't believe they have a nine zord combination!" shouted Maxie.
"We might as well go home," said Courtney.
Maxie turned around, "Are you mad?"
He turned around as he activated his walkie, "Unleash the ultimate move!"
Golphlosion nodded, "Gladly. Lava Plume Blast!"
As the Camerbot formed a red energy bolt from its fingers, a massive lava bomb was released. As it headed straight toward the Megazord, a crispy ice shield surrounded the Relic Hunter Megazord as it reflected toward the robot. The Camerbot was then hit as explosions surrounded the robot. Flames surrounded the cockpit as Golphlosion screamed.
"Now… let's finish it!" shouted Seb.
"Super Relic Hunter Megazord, Double Devastation!"
The horn of the Heracross Zord materialized into the Gyarados's mouth. The Beedrill began to glow orange as the drill began to spin. Aiming for the Camerbot, a purple aura surrounded the Heracross Zord as it was released. The horn pierced right through with blue and white energy coming out of it. As the beam pierced through, the Super Relic Hunter Megazord drilled straight through with the stinger. As the Super Relic Hunter Megazord landed on the ground, the Camerbot exploded into pieces with Golphlosion inside. Turning around, the Super Relic Hunter Megazord stared at Team Magma and Team Aqua.
"… Archie," said Maxie, "I will never follow your plans again!"
Archie laughed, "Scamp, it was a minor setback. Rangers, you may have won today but I will get every artifact that you acquire!"
In a flash of blue energy, Team Aqua materialized, disappearing from the area. Maxie said nothing as Team Magma began to materialize in red energy, disappearing.
Later that evening…
Seb, showered, and all, was wearing a red and black plaid t-shirt with a white bandage around his left arm. He also slipped into a pair of black jeans as he wore a white belt around it. As he put some bandages on his face from all the cuts and bruises, he sighed deeply. He couldn't believe he survived another adventure.
"I am so tired…," he said, yawning as the door opened. The rangers were hanging in the Ranger HQ. As he walked into the main room, he literally sat in one of the chairs, exhausted. Lamar turned around as he sat down next to him.
"How are you feelin', bro?" asked Lamar.
"I survived death," said Seb, "And nearly died… but it was worth the adventure. We have a key component to our Megazord…can't complain."
Lamar nodded as he turned around, "So, I do have a question though."
"Yeah," said Seb.
"Did you know there was another map?" asked Lamar.
Seb looked at him, "Say what?"
Lamar reached for the map on the table. As he grabbed the map, Lamar looked at Seb as he looked at the map. It was an exact match from the Eon Dolls. Seb turned around as he looked at him, "Where did you find this?"
"It was in the house at Verdanturf," said Lamar.
Seb turned around as he examined the map. As he looked at the map, he then noticed something different. There were three different coordinates on the top right hand corner. He looked at them, "Hmm… I didn't have this on the map."
"Really?" asked Lamar.
"Nope," said Seb. He flipped the back of the map, noticing ancient writing. He then looked at Lamar, "Lamar, this is ancient writing from 10,000 years ago."
Lamar looked at Seb as he turned around, "Say what?"
"Yeah," Seb responded, "… This adventure doesn't add up though."
Lamar turned around, "How so?"
Seb sighed as he looked at Lamar, "Well… Team Dracos wanted the dolls, the woman was actually Shelly. Archie and Maxie teamed up to take down the Relic Hunter Megazord. Archie had half of the map but when I was in the area, he knew exactly where to go."
"And you were under orders to just get the engine," said Lamar.
"Yep," said Seb, "So…"
Reaching for his PokéNav, he pressed the coordinates. Once inputed, he showed a map of the Hoenn Region. Looking at the map, he noticed that the golden dot appeared just north of Sootopolis City. Lamar looked up as he noticed the location.
"The Cave of Origin?" asked Lamar, "Why?"
"Mariah was sealed there before the Poké Rangers sealed her off on Dewford Island. Archie must be looking for clues… the question of how he got the full map remains a mystery. He didn't need the map to begin with. So, when you found the map, it was just a trap. In reality, he never needed it. He used Team Dracos and Team Magma… and they don't even know."
Lamar nodded, "That wouldn't surprise to say the least."
Seb nodded as he yawned, "Well, I have a theory…"
"Theory?" asked Lamar.
Seb nodded, "I wonder if Archie is going to revive the root of all evil… just to get Kyogre."
Lamar raised an eyebrow as he looked at the map. Seb nodded slowly as the others arrived. Rachel, Zander and Grace were looking at the map as Urara appeared. Seb grinned as he looked at them, "Hey."
"So… I figured we would all go out and you know… party it up?" asked Zander, grinning, "Come on."
"Thanks," said Seb, "But, I need rest…"
Grace grinned as she turned to him. Seb looked up as she walked over, massaging his shoulders. Seb sighed as he looked at Grace, "I don't know if I want to go… but I do need a break from all of this."
"Then come with us!" said Grace, "Jack showed us a great place in Slateport. We'll go there before we head to Route 120 tomorrow."
Seb sighed as he got up, looking at him, "Well… I guess it wouldn't hurt. But, I am sleeping when we get back."
"Hey, I'll buy the first round," said Lamar.
Seb turned around, "I'll buy… I'll just have water."
The other rangers laughed as they left Ranger HQ. As the doors opened, the rangers headed over to another room and closed the door. The map on the table began to glow in a blue light as a few of the characters on the map began to shimmer…
