A/N: Here is the next chapter!


The alarms were going all over the place at Lilycove Museum. The alarms were flashing red lights all over the museum as Darcie and Jake slashed right through the museum. Dashing toward the main entrance, Jake and Darcie carried out a bunch of bagpipes. However, the bag was red and orange with silver pipes that struck out. Leaving the museum, golden beams struck out, causing an explosion. Jake turned around as the other rangers arrived.

"Hand over the Pipes of Heatran!" shouted Seb.

"No way," said Darcie, "That's ours!"

"Draco Grunts!" shouted Jake.

Seb and the others turned around as they surrounded the grunts.

"Well… this is easy…," said Seb, turning around. Zander gulped as he looked at Seb, "Are you sure?"

Seb turned around as he then noticed another creature. He was a robotic Exploud with silver amplifiers on its ears. As he breathed, ash came out of his mouth.

"Dracloud here!"

Seb and the others withdrew their Relic Detectors, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Chapter 13: Magical Sisters

In flashes of red, black, blue, yellow and pink light, the rangers transformed into their suits. Taking out the Hunter Blades, the rangers fought through the Draco Grunts. Seb slashed a few of them with the Hunter Blade. Lamar flipped forward as he cut across, slashing the Draco Grunts in the stomach. Landing on the ground, Lamar turned around as he kicked a few of them in the stomach. Zander removed his Relic Blaster, shooting a few Draco Grunts in the stomach. Rachel and Grace flipped forward as they slashed Darcie. Darcie screamed as the Pipes of Heatran fell out of her hands. As Grace went to grab them, Darcie kicked her in the face, causing her to stumble.

"They are mine, pink!" shouted Darcie.

"Yeah right…," said Grace, ready to strike.

Meanwhile, Seb and Rachel were hit as Dracloud smashed them with his fists. Dracloud screamed as he released blue and green energies. Seb and Rachel yelled as they landed on the ground. Jake slashed Lamar and Zander as the two of them fell backwards on the ground. The rangers fell backwards as they landed on top of Rachel and Seb. Turning around, Grace and Darcie dueled. Darcie kicked her multiple times as Grace blocked them. Darcie took out her daggers and went to strike. Grace flipped backwards as she kicked Darcie in the face.

"Psychic Cutters!"

A pink aura surrounded her fists as she twirled around, cutting across. Darcie screamed as she grabbed the Pipes of Heatran. Jake turned around as he released a blue line of energy. Grace ducked as she missed the blade. Jake, Darcie and Dracloud began to glow in bright green energy as they disappeared. Seb sighed as he stood up from the pile. Flashes of energy surrounded them as they transformed out of their suits.

"It seems that the Pipes of Heatran is a hot commodity. We were supposed to pick them up tomorrow," said Lamar.

"Now…" said Rachel, "We are going to have to take it back from Darcie."

"Exactly," said Grace, "I am going to get my hands on that artifact."

Seb, noticing Grace's anger, walked over toward her as she stood there angrily, "We almost had it."

"Well…," said Zander, "We should probably go back to base and let Jack know."

Seb nodded as he turned around. The group began to leave, heading toward the area as Grace stood there by herself. Angry, she turned around as she brought up the rear, heading toward the headquarters with her.


Later that evening…

"So…," said Zander, looking at one of the laptops, "I think I found the answer to why they wanted those pipes."

The rangers surrounded him as Zander was sitting with his laptop. He sighed as he put his hand on his jaw, scanning the project.

"The Pipes of Heatran is a key artifact from the Scorched Slab. This was from the Middle Ages… going back to 1300," said Zander.

"So, what does it do?" asked Grace.

"I am glad you asked. So, the person who originally had this artifact captured people's Pokémon if they did not pay up for their goods. The person would play the pipe and amplify it to control the minds of Pokémon. If people do not pay within two hours of capture, the Pokémon get converted into golden orbs and used as trophies," said Zander.

"Lovely," said Seb, sighing, "So… seeing Darcie has it, she could amplify it."

"True," said Grace, turning around as she looked at the screen. She turned around as her arms were folded across her chest. Seb walked over as she turned to her, "Are you okay?"

Grace raised an eyebrow, "I guess… no…"

"I can tell," said Seb, rubbing her shoulder, "It's going to be okay."

Grace turned around as she turned to Seb, "I hope you're right."

Seb turned around as he looked at her. Turning around, Max turned around as he walked into the room. Max sighed as he pressed a few buttons on the screen.

"So… I have some bad news…," said Max.

The rangers turned around as Max pressed a few buttons. The diagram showed Dracloud on the screen with the Pipes of Heatran. They then noticed yellow arrows connected to it. Max sighed as he turned around, "So… Dracloud has amplifiers in his body."

"But, he never used them in battle…" said Seb.

"Right… he didn't use them because he didn't connect with the pipes," said Max, "This is no ordinary Monster of the Week."

"You mean… he's a monster that needs that artifact to amplify more power," said Rachel, sighing, "Which means…"

"Yup… if altered anyone can be controlled," said Max, yawning, "But, I highly doubt they will attack tonight."

"So…," said Grace, turning around, "I guess we should wait?"

"Your best bet would be to head back to Route 120 and continue your journey. Even though you were already at Lilycove," said Max.

Seb slowly nodded as Rachel grinned slightly. As the rangers began to leave the headquarters, Grace shook her head as the door closed behind her.


Meanwhile…

The Draco Grunts were training in Team Dracos's Headquarters. As they were training and fighting, Silva was sitting with them as they were looking at the Pipes of Heatran.

"For once… we have this amazing artifact," said Silva, grinning, "Good job. For once, we did something right!"

"True," said Darcie, grinning, "So… this is supposed to control Pokémon."

Jake nodded in response as he looked at Darcie. Jake picked up the pipes as he looked at them, "Seeing that this had the ability to control Pokémon…"

He examined the pipes as he looked at the monster. He turned around as he grinned, looking at Silva and then at Darcie. Silva nodded slowly, understanding where he was coming from. Jake turned around as he looked at Dracloud. Placing the Pipes of Heatran on the back of the creature. Dracloud released a black wire from its back. Jake grinned as he looked at the device. Placing the device to the pipes, he pulled the Pipes of Heatran. Dracloud stood as Jake dragged the pipes out, with an extension connected.

"How?" asked Silva.

"Just listen…," he said, playing the pipes. Dracloud's eyes began to glow bright green as his speakers began to amplify. The Draco Grunts stopped fighting as they all faced together in lines. As they stood together in a line, Jake stopped playing as he laughed, "Excellent! With enough volume, you can control the minds of anybody…"

"Well then…," said Silva, taking a breath, "It's time we use this to our advantage. Darcie, take Dracloud. Begin Phase 1 of… whatever you plan you have. Let's take as many people and Pokémon as you can."

Back at the base…

JT was sitting down as he was looking at the horn that was on the screen. He couldn't put his finger on it as Max sat down to talk to them.

"So, about that horn…," said JT, turning around, "How are you going to decipher something that we don't have here?"

Max turned around, "JT, have you studied archaeology?"

JT laughed, "I was a computer science major fighting dinosaur like aliens."

Max shook his head, chuckling as he turned around to look at the horn, "Well, the horn can be deciphered by an image using our tech. I figured you could help us out."

"Well…" said JT, "With the right programs we can figure it out. But, the imaging is fuzzy… it could take some time."

"I hope so," said Jack, looking at the two of them. Jack sat down as he looked at the two of them. JT was installing a new program as the conversation escalated. The three of them were watching as the horn started to zoom in on the symbols engraved on each horn.

While that was going on, in the other room, Rachel was in the battle arena with her Pokémon. Her Blaziken, Flareon, Pelliper, Manectric, and Sandslash stood there as they looked at each other. Rachel looked at them as Lamar sighed looking at her team.

"You need a dark type in your party…," said Lamar.

"Why do you say that?" asked Rachel.

"You are going to be fighting a psychic gym leader," said Zander, scratching his chin as he looked at her, "Psychic attacks are weak against fighting moves. Blaziken wouldn't work."

Rachel sighed as she turned to Blaziken, "Okay…"

"Pelliper might have an advantage… but I am worried," said Lamar, "Lunatone and Solrock would knock Pelliper out."

Rachel nodded slowly as she turned around at her team, "I see…"

"The others may not do so well…," said Urara, sighing, "Unfortunately."

Rachel took a nice deep breath as she turned around to her team, "I guess we will have to do some catching. Didn't Route 120 have wild Absol?"

"Yeah," said Lamar, turning around, "An Absol would be a huge asset to your team."

Rachel grinned as she looked at the team, "I guess that would be a good idea!"

She turned around as she looked at the team. Her Pokémon nodded as they were saying their own names, responding to her. She grinned as she looked at them, "I can't wait to spend some time training with you."

No sooner she finished her sentence, the battlefield began to glow in a bright red aura. She turned around as she looked at them. Flare, her Flareon nodded as she looked at Rachel. Rachel nodded as she took out her Poké Balls, "Duty calls."

She returned all five Pokémon into her Poké Balls. Placing them on her belt. She walked toward the group as they headed toward the doors. As the doors opened, Seb and Grace walked over toward them as the other rangers met in the main room. Max appeared on one of the screens in the room.

"Rangers, Team Dracos sent their monster in the Safari Zone," said Max, "You know what to do."

Seb turned around as he looked at the group. The rangers nodded as Seb and the group dashed out of the main headquarters.


The Safari Zone…

With the sun shining in the lush jungles of the Safari Zone, Dracloud and Darcie were walking around with a bunch of wild Pokémon behind them. They caught many: Psyduck, Houndour, Sudowoodo, Pikachu and more. As they continued walking north toward the Safari Zone, Darcie was playing the pipes, enjoying herself as she gathered a whole bunch.

"Yes!" she shouted, looking at the beautiful tree branches, "This is the best plan ever. Manipulating wild Pokémon… best idea ever!"

As she continued to walk toward the woods, the other rangers were sneaking up behind her, on the other side of the ridge.

"She has her own parade," said Rachel, turning around to them.

"Yep," said Seb, looking at what was going on.

Zander turned around as he looked at them, "Well… I wonder how we would break that control."

Lamar sighed, "It's almost like Team Rocket technology to be honest."

"Why would you say that?" asked Grace, turning to Lamar. Lamar raised an eyebrow as he looked at the pink ranger, "Well, let's be honest. Jake's an ex-Team Rocket member. Wouldn't be surprised if he modified the artifact to make it work on Dracloud."

"That would destroy value in the artifact," said Seb.

"Yep… but Team Dracos doesn't give a crap about value," said Lamar, "Let's be real."

Seb nodded as he took out his binoculars, spying on the group, "Fair enough."

Rachel sighed as she turned around, looking at the Safari Zone. She grinned as she turned around, looking at the woods. While doing so, she heard something wiggle from her Pokémon belt. Picking one of them up, she pressed the button to enlarge the Poké Ball. Opening it, a flash of white light shot out as Flare appeared out of her Poké Ball.

"What's up? Now's not the time," said Rachel.

"Flare…," she shouted, nodding her head.

Rachel looked her watch as she turned around to look at the team, "It's lunch time isn't it?"

Flare nodded.

"Of course…," said Rachel.

"OH LOOK! A FLAREON!"

Rachel turned around as she noticed Dracloud arriving with Darcie. The other four rangers turned around as they went to hide in the bushes. Rachel turned around as she went to return Flare. However, as she played the pipes directly at Rachel and Flare, Flare screamed as her eyes began to glow bright red, joining the group, Rachel yelled as she took out her Relic Detector.

"Start Up!"

A flash of yellow light surrounded her as she transformed into her suit, only to get attacked by the energy.

"Rachel!" shouted Lamar, getting out of the bushes.

"Wait, Lamar!" shouted Zander.

Grace and Seb tried to pull them back, but it was a little late as their cover was blown. Zander and Lamar took out their morphers.

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

A flash of black and blue light surrounded them as they took out their Relic Blasters. However, as they did so the energy wave surrounded them. The three rangers had their heads down, but they still stood up.

"We fight… for Dracos," the rangers said.

"What the-?" asked Grace.

"No way," said Seb.

Darcie laughed as she turned to the other two rangers. Darcie grinned as she looked at Rachel and the others, "Yellow, Black, Blue… shoot your friends down! Flare, burn them to a crisp!"

Flare released a massive Flamethrower. As the flames unleashed, Seb pushed Grace out of the way as the flames missed, hitting a few bushes. Lamar, Zander and Rachel took out their Relic Blasters, shooting laser blasts. Seb and Grace were dodging golden beams left and right as they hid behind a few rocks.

"Well, this is fun…," said Grace.

"Yeah…," said Seb.

As the blasts were still happening, they heard a loud beeping noise from their Relic Detectors. Pulling it out, Seb went to answer the morpher.

"Yeah?" asked Seb.

"Hey," said Jack, "We are still figuring out the horn on the bagpipe. But, we are able to help you not be controlled by that thing. Ray?"

Ray, over the intercom, cleared his throat as he spoke, "When you morph, set your helmet speaker volume to 20… it should inhibit the sound waves."

"Got it," said Seb, hanging up the Detector, "Shall we?"

"Yep," said Grace.

The two rangers stood up as they faced their friends with Relic Detectors in their hands.

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Sliding the morpher across their arms, a red and pink aura surrounded them as they transformed into their suits. Pressing their helmets to the designated level, the rangers then faced the other three rangers. Seb faced Lamar and Zander as Grace fought Rachel. As Rachel used a spinning hook kick across, Grace ducked underneath as she went to grab her leg. Rachel screamed as she fell to the ground. Quickly, Grace grabbed her in a headlock. Squirming, Rachel tried to break free as Grace tightened the grip. Pressing the buttons on her helmet, a yellow surge surrounded her as Rachel's body started to calm down. Rachel looked up as Grace turned to her, "What's going on?"

"Long story. We've got to save Zander and Lamar!"

Seb yelled as he landed on the ground. Rolling across the dirt, the other rangers went to help him up. Zander and Lamar laughed as Dracloud arrived. Dracloud released green and blue energies from its speakers. The three rangers yelled as they were hit. Explosions surrounded them as they transformed out of their suits. Their Relic Detectors flew out as they were damaged.

"No way…," said Rachel, looking at their morphers, "It had enough power to damage the circuits?"

The three rangers turned to each other as they started dashing out of the woods. Lamar and Zander laughed as they aimed their Scope Shots to their Relic Blasters. The two aimed directly at the three rangers as they were running. Seb, turning around, looked at them as they went to pull the trigger.

"GET DOWN!" shouted Seb.

As they pulled the trigger, a black and blue beam shot out from their blasters, combining into a silver beam. Seb grabbed Rachel and Grace and pushed them down to the ground. The beam pierced right into Seb's back causing an explosion surrounding them. The three rangers flew across as screams could be heard, falling off a cliff into a river.

"Ha! Farewell, you three… let's go…" said Darcie, laughing.


A half hour later…

"Seb… Seb!" shouted Grace.

The three rangers were soaked from falling into the river. Unlike Rachel and Grace, who were bruised with minor cuts, Seb was coughing and wheezing. He was in awfully bad shape as he was on the ground. Looking across, Amy and Urara were dashing across as Seb was groaning in pain. Amy sighed as she took her scanner, "Oof… some bruising and damage in his back."

"How bad?" asked Grace.

"If I can't get him medical attention at my lab, he could be permanently injured," said Amy.

Grace looked down at Seb as Amy arrived with a few Chansey behind her with a medical gurney. As they placed Seb carefully on the side, Seb looked over as Grace stood there, upset.

"Don't worry about me… rescue Lamar and Zander…," said Seb.

"But, Seb…," said Grace.

"That's… an order," said Seb, "I'm asking… as your leader…"

Grace nodded as she looked at him, "You got it."

As he was carried out with Amy, Urara turned around as she looked at the others. Urara brought open a silver box as she carried the three Relic Detectors. Pulling her own silver wristwatch, she pressed the button as she went to speak, "JT, I am sending this to you and Ray to fix. They need to be fixed pronto."

"Got it," said JT, speaking through the intercom.

Immediately, a golden aura surrounded the box. As it disappeared, Urara turned around as she looked at Rachel and Grace. Grace sighed as she looked at them as she looked at the others.

"So… what's the plan?" asked Urara.

"Simple, rescue the Pokémon, Zander and Lamar… then destroy that beast," said Grace, "How are we going to do this? I don't know."

"Well," said Urara turning to the rangers, "What if I told you I brought some things?"

Grace and Rachel looked at each other as Urara brought a green bag. Unzipping the bag, the three ladies looked at the contents inside. There were three blasters. One was Jack's Blade Blaster, a red and white blaster. The other one was a blue blaster, with a silver blade on top. The third one was another blue blaster with a red circle and a jagged line down the handle.

"JT, Jack and Ray had us borrow some of their weapons," said Urara, "The Blade Blaster, Dino Blaster and the Astro Blaster. Plus…"

She also grabbed three golden sabers. On the handles, there were red, pink and yellow colors with black handles, "Jack, Amii and Jenna were generous to give us their Ninja Sabers."

"Ninja Sabers?" asked Grace, picking up the yellow one.

"Sweet," said Rachel, picking up the red one.

"Great," said Urara, taking out the pink saber.

Urara turned around as she looked at them. Grace and Rachel turned to each other and then at Urara, "Well, don't just sit there. We need to save the men!"

As she marched off, Grace and Rachel looked at each other as they climbed across the river, heading toward the lush jungles of the Safari Zone.


Meanwhile…

Amy was in a white overcoat at the Ranger HQ, working with the Chansey. As Seb was put on a respirator, she took out a few medical tools as she was looking at his back. As she was scanning the device, she noticed the breaks.

"Alright… prepare for surgery," said Amy, turning around as she put on a green mask. As she went to get her materials, Seb was groaning in pain as he looked to the side.

"… Grace, everyone," he said, closing his eyes, still breathing.

Outside, Jack was pacing around as he turned around. Taking a deep breath, he was walking around, trying not to look in the room. Max, who was sitting outside, was wondering the same thing. Ray looked up as Jack's anxiety was going through the roof.

"I know… this happens all the time," said Jack, "But, this is not like other battles."

"Yeah," said Ray, sighing, "I get it though. Seb will recover. I know he will. He still has strength and will to fight."

Jack turned around, "You seem very optimistic."

"Well, you should be… I know when I was on the table as a ranger, it was because I fought Psycho Blue… due to the damage he did to me in battle, I thought I would never recover", said Ray.

"Psycho Blue?" asked Max.

"… It's a story I do not talk about often," Ray said, "These rangers were definitely labeled as 'Psycho'."

Max raised an eyebrow as he opened a book to read. He looked at the former blue ranger as he went to speak, "When this is over, I want to see battle footage."

"No….," said Ray, chuckling, "That battle footage stays in PNET…"

"I would. Never saw the Psycho Ranger battles," said Jack, grinning, looking at the window that led to the surgery room as he put his hand on the window, "But, right now… let's hope Seb will be okay."


Meanwhile…

The Draco Grunts were scrambling across the fields. As they were hissing and flying across, Rachel withdrew Jack's Ninja Saber, slashing a few of them. Flipping forward, she slashed across as a few of them fell to the ground. She then pulled out the Blade Blaster, shooting out red beams as a few of them landed on the ground.

Grace blocked a few with Jenna's Ninja Saber. As the creatures landed on the ground, Grace took out Ray's Astro Blaster, shooting a few of them in the stomach. As another wave showed, Grace stretched out Jenna's saber as a yellow aura surrounded her saber. Lightning bolts surrounded her saber.

"Thunder Strike!"

Making a yellow triangle with her saber, the triangle was tossed across with her saber, destroying the Draco Grunts.

Urara pulled out the Dino Blaster, shooting a few of the Draco Grunts. She then blocked with her saber, cutting across with her weapon. Using Amii's saber, a pink aura surrounded the blade.

"Psychic Cut!"

Creating a two-cut strike battle, Grace landed on the ground as she pulled out JT's Dino Blaster. Shooting the blaster, the Draco Grunts landed on the ground. The three of them continued to dash through the woods.

"Alright," said Rachel, "They have to be nearby…"


Meanwhile…

Lamar and Zander were tied to the wall in a cave somewhere in the fields. Dracloud was laughing as he connected the Pipes of Heatran to the wall. Lamar and Zander looked at the artifacts as they noticed the wild Pokémon caught in the cages. Struggling, Darcie was laughing away as she turned to them, noticing them struggle.

"How does it feel to be a part of my plan?" she asked, laughing as she turned to Darcie.

"I don't know," said Zander, struggling, "But this is low."

Darcie laughed non-stop as she walked toward them. She grinned as she looked at the Pipes of Heatran connected to three pipes and a golden basket. She grinned as she went to take a Rattata.

"This is only a test," she said.

"What are you planning?' asked Lamar.

"Well," said Darcie, grinning as she turned around looking at the artifact, "Seeing that you won't survive, I can just tell you. We are going to give the Pokémon an experiment they will never forget. I am going to convert Rattata into a red sphere. Once I collect all the spheres into this energy box, we will use you to kidnap people. Eventually, we will have enough energy where Dracloud can destroy the whole planet. And then I can collect all the artifacts without distractions… Team Magma and Team Aqua will also be destroyed. It's going to be fun!"

Lamar turned around as he looked at Zander. The two of them looked at each other as they turned to Darcie. Darcie grinned as she turned around, looking at the rangers. Zander and Lamar were quiet as Darcie was continuing her experiment.


Meanwhile…

Amy was walking around the base as she had her toolbox in her right hand. As she went toward her desk, she opened the box, removing the three Relic Detectors. She was just finishing the rest of the morphers. As she placed a device to work on the Relic Detectors, blue and green lights surrounded the device as she went to fix the wiring. Opening the back of one of them, she went to repair using her other devices. Turning around, she reached for her toolkit, only to have a palm print touch her hand. Amy looked up as she noticed a familiar face.

"Seb?"

Seb looked at her as he pulled a chair, "Yeah?"

"Shouldn't you be asleep… I mean that surgery took a lot out of you."

"I am exhausted, but my friends need my help," said Seb.

"But, this is expensive technology!" said Amy.

Seb grinned as he turned around, taking one of the Relic Detectors, "I am a fast learner."

Cringing in pain, he sat down, trying not to cover that the surgery on his back was overwhelming and he continued to finish working on the Relic Detectors. Scanning through the devices, Jack stood outside as he turned around, looking at Max and the others.

"So…," said Max, looking at Jack.

"Did you Lamar and Zander's morphers?" asked Jack.

Ray turned around as he looked at Max, "Well… I do have a theory. Come with me."

The three rangers walked up the stairs, heading toward the main room. Ray pressed a few buttons on the screen as he turned to the group.

"We weren't able to find the morpher signal originally…," said Ray.

"Why?" asked Jack.

"Simple," said Ray, pressing a button. On the map, the team turned to the screen as they saw a red and blue aura around the Safari Zone. Jack turned around as he pointed to the screen. Ray slowly nodded as he turned around to the group, "When Dracloud unleashed its energy, it left wave particles that made it difficult for us to trace anything or monitor. The Pipes of Heatran created an energy pulse that could mask detection."

"How?" asked Max.

"Simple…," said Ray, "The Pipes of Heatran can control minds. When it was altered, it was altered to connect to Dracloud. Dracloud has an energy system that can not also control people, but it is able to hide the location of what is happening."

"So… Rachel, Urara and Grace are in that bubble," said Jack.

"Correct," said Ray, "Now, here's the difficult part. Whatever is happening in that center portion of the bubble, it seems we can't tell what's going on."

"So…," said Max, "I wonder what they are plotting…"

"Do we know type of energy it is?" asked Jack, looking at Ray.

"No… but whatever they are doing… it doesn't look good," said Ray.

Suddenly, there was a loud beeping noise on the screen. Ray turned around as he pressed a few buttons, "Yes?'

"Ray, this is Urara!" she shouted, "We are seeing a red and yellow aura coming out in the distance of the Safari Zone."

"Red and yellow aura?" asked Jack, "Where?"

"About 2 miles north of our location," she said, "There have been Draco Grunts everywhere."

Max looked up as he looked at the screen, "Urara, take your team and investigate. Whatever Darcie is doing, we can't actually track or trace what's going on. Destroy the source of that energy wave."

"Understood!"

As the doors opened up, Amy arrived with the Relic Detectors. Turning around, Jack and the others turned around as Seb was stumbling toward the table. Grabbing the Relic Detectors, he placed one in his pocket. Jack turned around as he looked at him, "How are you feeling?"

Seb breathed heavily, "I'll be okay. What the heck is that?"

"Rachel, Grace and Urara are currently in that blob," said Jack.

Seb sighed as he turned around, "I really need to give them their morphers."

"Not in your condition!" said Amy.

Seb turned around, "At least teleport me to the location outside the bubble. I can then figure my way there. Besides, without me, the five of us can't work together to defeat whatever it is out there."

Amy shook her head as she turned around, "Absolutely-."

Before she could finish, Jack quickly interrupted, "Go ahead."

"But…," said Amy.

"Now is not the time to argue," said Jack, he turned around, looking at that map, "That blob is making me nervous. And if we don't get to the bottom of it, we're doomed. Seb, I'll teleport you outside the barrier. After that, you are on your own."

Seb nodded as he walked slowly, following Jack toward the transporter room.


Meanwhile…

Urara and Grace flipped forward as they continued using the borrowed weapons. Rachel dashed forward as she slashed a few of the Draco Grunts. Flipping forward, continuing to strike, the three ladies headed straight toward the red and yellow light that was being unleashed from the cave. As they walked into the cave, they destroyed the Draco Grunts blocking the cave. Turning around, Darcie screamed as she turned around to notice Rachel and Grace.

"YOU!"

Rachel turned around, noticing Flare was next in line for the orbs. There was a set of red orbs in a basket connected to a device, which connected to the Pipes of Heatran and then to Dracloud. Dracloud was smiling from ear to ear.

"Oh no…," said Rachel, "That's not happening!"

Flare dashed forward, releasing a Flamethrower at Darcie's face. Flare headed over, climbing on the top of her shoulder.

"You are going to pay for this…," said Rachel.

Urara turned around as she went to aim her blaster at the device. Lamar turned around, "Wait! Urara, there's Pokémon in those orbs."

"What?" asked Urara.

"Yeah," said Zander, looking at the device, "You destroy the device, you destroy the chances of returning the Pokémon to normal."

"That's right!" said Darcie, taking out her saber, "Now, you ladies have to deal with me."

Darcie laughed as Dracloud went to charge. He laughed as he began to close his eyes. The device began to glow in a green aura.

"In three minutes, Dracloud will take all the Safari Zone Pokémon thus far and channel energy into the pipes. With one blast, an energy explosion will destroy the Safari Zone and any nearby town…," said Darcie, grinning, "Can you save your friends?"

As Darcie went to strike, Rachel and Grace used the Ninja Sabers to block. As the two of them went to strike, Urara went forward toward the device to figure out how to reverse it. Dracloud turned around as he smacked her across. Urara screamed as she landed in front of Lamar and Zander. Zander turned around as he noticed the saber.

Urara looked over as Dracloud went toward her, still charging energy. Zander turned around, noticing his Relic Detector on the floor, "Urara!"

Urara turned around, noticing Zander and Lamar's Relic Detector. Rolling across, Dracloud released a blue energy blast, creating a mini explosion. Urara grabbed the Relic Detectors as she flew across. As she flipped forward, she gave both Relic Detectors to them. Zander and Lamar activated their Relic Detectors, sliding the morpher on the cave wall.

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Black and blue lights surrounded them as they transformed into their suits, breaking free. The two rangers pushed Dracloud back as Urara went to work. Darcie turned around as she released green beams. Urara screamed as she landed on the ground. Urara pulled out the Astro Blaster, shooting Darcie in the stomach. Darcie screamed as she was then shot by Rachel and Grace. Flare released another Flamethrower as well. Urara turned around as she figured out the pipes. Grinning, she pressed another switch. Immediately, the pipes began to channel as she took it off the platform. Playing a few notes, the red spheres began to glow from the basket. The red spheres floated up out of the air as they broke apart, releasing the wild Pokémon. Instantly, the wild Pokémon dashed out of the cave.

"NO!" shouted Darcie.

"Now!" shouted Urara.

Zander and Lamar pushed Dracloud out of the way and pulled out their Relic Blasters. Pulling the trigger, black and blue beams pierced the platform. Explosions surrounded the device. Dracloud screamed as he flew out of the cave. Urara grabbed the artifact as the other rangers dashed out. Dracloud looked at them as the five rangers surrounded Dracloud and Darcie.

"Give me those Pipes!" she shouted.

Suddenly, red beams struck out, piercing Darcie and Dracloud. As they fell backwards, Zander and Lamar turned around with the others as Seb arrived, hunched over, yet morphed.

"WHAT?" asked Darcie.

"SEB!" shouted the rangers.

"I can't join the party?" asked Seb. He turned to Urara as she nodded. Urara grabbed the pipes as she dashed out of the way. Before she could, Darcie went to strike. As she went to strike, Rachel and Grace flipped forward as they both kicked her in the stomach. Seb turned around as he threw the Relic Detectors. Rachel and Grace grabbed them as they turned to each other and then at Dracloud.

"Now… its personal," said Rachel, taking out her Poké Ball, "Flare, return."

As Flare returned to her Poké Ball, Rachel and Grace opened their Relic Detectors, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Yellow and pink lights surrounded their suits as they transformed into their uniforms.

"Hunter Armor, Engage!" shouted Grace.

Immediately, a pink aura surrounded Grace as the armor plating arrived in his left hand. Placing the plate on her chest, Grace stretched her arms out as the plate connected to her. Silver armor connected to the back of her body. Black and white stripes surrounded her shoulder pads as black and white gloves appeared.

"Relic Crusher!" shouted Grace.

Raising her hand, a golden blaster appeared in Grace'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 Grace grabbed it by the handle, the other rangers stood behind her. Grace aimed her weapon directly at Dracloud.

"Bulldoze Combination Crush!"

Pressing the trigger, a red energy beam shot out, transforming the energy beam into a drill. The drill exploded in front of Dracloud, creating a shockwave. Dracloud screamed as he disintegrated. Darcie looked at the corpse and turned to the sky.

"Silva!" shouted Darcie.

Suddenly, gusts of wind picked up as the rangers turned around. A golden tornado formed around Dracloud as Dracloud began to glow bright gold. As the aura surrounded the creature, Dracloud grew ten times bigger. Dracloud released green and blue energy beams from its speakers. The rangers yelled as major explosions surrounded the group. Flames surrounded the Safari Zone as the team landed on the dirt, rolling around. Getting up, Rachel took out her Relic Detector.

"Relic Hunter Zords, launch!"

Immediately, more rumbling occurred as the zords came charging through the area. The rangers turned around as the zords arrived to face the creature. As Dracloud turned around, blue and green beams shot out, damaging the zords. In a flash of white light, the Relic Drivers appeared in their hands. Quickly, the rangers headed into their zords.

"Adventure Fusion!" shouted Grace.

Pressing 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 on her Relic Detector, Grace 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!"

Dracloud threw a strong punch at the Relic Hunter Megazord. The Relic Hunter Megazord threw another punch at Dracloud. Dracloud stomped as it released blue and green energy blasts from its speakers. Flames exploded around the Relic Hunter Megazord. As it continued to create channels of energy, the rangers were stuck.

"The controls are jammed!" shouted Rachel.

"And the volume is cranked at max!" shouted Lamar.

"I think we need a distraction!" shouted Grace, "Auxiliary Zords!"

Pressing 6, 7, 8 and 9, Grace spun the device. As the Relic Hunter Megazord hung on to the stress of the energy levels, the Beedrill, Gyarados, Abomasnow and Heracross Zord arrived. The Gyarados Zord released an Aqua Tail, smacking Dracloud to the ground. The Beedrill released a Pin Missile attack while the Abomasnow released a Wood Hammer attack. Sparks flew around as the Heracross Zord charged in with a Megahorn attack.

"Alright…," said Seb, "Super Adventure Fusion!"

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.

"Super Relic Hunter Megazord, Assembly Complete!"

Dracloud released energy beams from his speakers again. This time, the beams struck the armor plating. There was no damage from the attack.

"Weak…," said Rachel, "Dragon Pulse!"

Using the right hand of the Relic Hunter Megazord, blue and green beams shot out of its hand, destroying one of the speakers. As flames erupted from Dracloud, Dracloud started spinning around as Grace turned to Rachel.

"Nice!" Zander exclaimed.

"Thanks," said Rachel, "Alright, let's take it to the next level."

"Right!" shouted the other rangers.

"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, a major explosion occurred.

"Yes!" shouted the rangers.

"We did it!" shouted Grace and Rachel.

"You saved the day," said Lamar, looking at Rachel, grinning. Rachel sighed as she turned to Lamar, "Well, thank you!"

"Good job, sis," said Zander, laughing.

Seb grinned, not saying a word. Grace looked down as she turned to him, "Well?"

"I am happy for you!" said Seb, "Good job!"

Turning around, they noticed there was still flames in the area. Quickly, the rangers began to start putting out the fires of the damage before the whole Safari Zone was burnt to a crisp.


Outside Route 120…

"So," said Rachel, walking toward the group. The rangers were walking toward Lilycove City as they continued their travel. With Urara leading the way, the five rangers continued their journey, specifically to head to Mossdeep Island. Rachel grinned as she turned to the other rangers. Lamar could see the smile expand on Rachel's face.

"What?" asked Lamar.

"You know those pipes were like the best artifact we've seen," said Rachel, grinning, "The fact that it had the power to manipulate and control but can play beautiful sounds."

Seb turned around as the rangers were walking toward the deep thickets of the tall grass. As he continued to walk backwards, he grinned as he turned to them, "I agree. That was an awesome artifact we recovered, despite the fact Team Dracos altered it."

Urara sighed as she turned to the group, "True. We'll be lucky if we ever see it in its original form again."

Grace grinned as she turned to them, "Well, I am sure if we find the jewels, that can be arranged."

Zander laughed, "True. But, for now… I think its safe with the others."

Seb nodded as he turned to the others, "At least that will help us on our next jewel quest."

As the six rangers continued to walk, they heard the sound of something in the bushes. As the rangers stopped, they heard something unleashed from the bushes. Landing on the ground, an Absol arrived to meet them.

"AN ABSOL!" shouted Rachel, "Yes!"

The wild Absol looked at her with dark eyes as Rachel stepped forward, "It's time!"
