A/N: Here is Chapter 15 of the series, I hope you enjoy!


The sun was shining beautifully on the wonderful path. Rachel and the others were impressed as they were seeing the sign for Route 121. The sign was covered in layers of leaves and such. Rachel grinned as she was looking at the others. She could not believe they made it to almost the other side of the region. The trees were beautiful with its palm trees swaying back and forth. As she looked at the other rangers, they were happy as well. Urara was grinning as she turned around, looking at the beautiful Wingull that were flying.

"We are about 40 miles away…," said Zander, "It will definitely take a few days… but I am super excited."

"Don't mean to bring back flashbacks… we were there when the Safari Zone was… on fire," said Lamar.

"We saved your butt!" said Rachel, grinning as she went to trip over a boulder. As she screamed, Rachel flipped as she landed on the ground. In her hands, was a cup of coffee that flew up. Lamar looked up as the lid broke open, spilling out the contents. Immediately, coffee splattered all over Lamar. Lamar looked at Rachel as she grinned, looking at him.

"Good job," said Lamar.

Rachel sighed, "Sorry. I have been really off have I?"

"Between slapping me this morning in your sleep, stepping on Flare's tail and getting burned by Flamethrower… I would say this definitely takes the cake."

"You know what?" asked Rachel, "You could be a little considerate."

"I am stating everything you did," said Lamar.

"But, I feel more guilty now," said Rachel.

"I'm not falling for it," said Lamar.

As the two started bickering, Zander looked at Urara, Seb and Grace. They have been bickering all week since they thrawted Team Magma's plan.

"You know, I am getting tired of your bickering," said Rachel.

"Bickering? Girl, you are bickering. You argue more than I do!" shouted Lamar.

As the two raised voices, they heard the sound of their Relic Detectors in their pockets. Immediately, Lamar grabbed the Relic Detector, "WHAT?"

"No need to be rude," said Max over the intercom.

"Sorry," said Lamar, calming down, "We are having issues."

"Ah, well… you are going to have to put that aside for now. I need you all to go to Mt. Pyre. You must find the Orb of Destruction," said Max.

"Well… guess we get to subtract two days walk," said Seb. The rangers stood in a line as they pressed 71 on their Relic Detectors, "Summon, Hunter Harley!"

In a flash of white light, the five Hunter Harleys appeared on the ground. Immediately, the rangers grabbed their helmets and started driving across Route 121. Urara sighed as she pressed the button. Immediately, in a flash of white light, her car appeared. Dashing toward, the front seat, she turned on the engine and brought up the rear.

Chapter 15: Rachel's Past

Approaching Route 122 where the Safari Zone stood, the rangers arrived on the bridge. As the five of them approached the bridge, they noticed the island across. Rachel turned around as Urara arrived.

"How do we get there?" asked Rachel, turning around.

"Your Harleys have the ability to go across. If you press the green button to the side, it will transform your Harley into a wave runner," said Urara.

"Ah," said Seb, "Alrighty… let's do this!"

The five of them got on as they traveled into the ocean. Pressing the green button, there was more armor that covered the wheels and the gas tank. Propellers broke out of the back of the saddlebags. The five of them skated across Route 122. As they floated around toward the mouth of Mt. Pyre, they headed toward the entrance. Transforming their wave runners back to bikes, they noticed Draco Grunts arriving.

"Draco Grunts!" shouted Seb, "Shoot them down!"

Ranger-colored beams shot out, destroying the Draco Grunts. As they put their bikes in park, the rangers dashed toward the entrance. However, blue and golden beams struck them as they landed on the ground. Seb looked up as Darcie and Jake arrived.

"Darcie…," said Zander.

"Hello rangers!" shouted Jake, "Guess we need to stop them."

The five rangers took out their Relic Detectors.

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Transforming into their ranger suits, the rangers struck a pose. The rangers split into two groups. Jake fought Lamar and Rachel where the rest fought Darcie. Jake took out his saber. As he saber transformed into a green energy beam, he struck Rachel and Lamar. Lamar turned around as he used his Doom Hammer to block the attack. Jumping up, Rachel used her Thunder Scooper, slashing Jake. Jake rolled across as he looked up.

Darcie used her sais, blocking the attacks from the other three. As she flipped backwards, she kicked Grace and Zander with her foot. She then slashed Seb across. Seb turned around as he used his Blaze Lance, striking her down. As Darcie fell backwards, she looked up as Grace spun across with her Psychic Cutters, cutting her across. Screaming, Zander released his Swamp Blaster. Shooting her down, she landed on the ground.

"Darcie!" shouted Jake. Turning around, he looked at Lamar. As he threw a right hook across Lamar's face. As Lamar landed on the ground, Jake threw green and black bolts from his hand. Lamar screamed as he was hit. He was then cut across by Jake as Lamar landed on the ground. A black aura surrounded Lamar as he transformed out of his suit. Looking up, Jake went to strike him down. A green and black aura surrounded his saber. Lamar looked up as Jake raised his saber.

"Dragon Slash!"

As the line of energy came straight for Lamar, he began to close his eyes, trying to activate his inner power. As blue energy surrounded him, he heard a scream. Lamar opened his eyes as someone in front of him took the hit. He looked up, noticing Rachel landed on the ground. He then shoved her so fast, a streak of yellow light was formed as she was thrown in the ocean.

"RACHEL!" shouted Lamar.

"Ha ha ha…," said Jake, looking at her, "That's what you get with messing with me."

"You…," said Lamar, filled with anger. Jake laughed as he turned to Darcie, "We need to find that artifact."

Green auras surrounded them as they disappeared. Lamar turned around as he looked at the others. As the three rangers demorphed, Lamar turned around as he looked at the three, "We need to find Rachel!"

"But, how Lamar? The ocean current is too strong!" shouted Grace.

"Whatever, I'm going," said Lamar.

Before Lamar could go, Seb grabbed him by the shoulder, "Let's not get reckless! We can trace her morpher and then find her."

"We better be quick though, if she landed in the ocean unconscious, she won't have that much time," said Zander.


A few minutes later…

"Rachel… Rachel.. wake up!"

Rachel's eyes opened up to see someone over her. Sitting up, she noticed that she was drenched in ocean water as she was looking up. She noticed someone who looked similar. She had brown hair with ruby red eyes. She also wore a green t-shirt with blue jeans and white shoes. She grinned as she looked at her.

"Rachel… I am so glad you are here," she said.

"… Marina!" she shouted, looking at her, "But…"

Marina grinned as she looked at her, "I am the one and only. Come on, I am your sister, remember? Remember when we would watch the Magiland Medieval Games?"

Rachel looked at her, "That's my favorite event."

She looked at her, skeptical of course. She stepped forward, "How did you escape Incinizard?"

"Simple. After he killed our parents, I went underground and found my way out… I dug a ditch after you left. I came to search for you!" she said, "I'm glad you are back! We can fight Hades!"

"Um…," said Rachel, looking at her, "The battle's over. Master Hades has been sealed."

"Who sealed them?" she asked.

"Me and my friends from the surface world," said Rachel.

"Your friends?" asked Marina.

Rachel grinned as she looked at her. She reached into her pocket. Marina watched as Rachel opened a wallet-size photo case. Opening it, Marina examined the picture. The rangers were sitting on a beach with Rachel and Seb sitting in the middle. Urara and Zander were on one side and then Grace and Lamar were in the other.

"Well… that other guy looks familiar," she said.

"Yeah, that's Lamar. My… boyfriend," said Rachel, sighing, "A stubborn one."

"Ha… well he looks like the man that killed our parents!" said Marina.

Rachel laughed, "Oh… you might want to get that story checked out. Lamar has done nothing wrong."

Marina grinned as she looked at her. As she hugged her, Rachel grinned as she was hugged. Marina winked as she placed a blue chip behind her ear. Immediately, a blue aura surrounded her as she looked at Marina. Marina grinned as she looked at her, "Lamar killed you parents… you must take revenge."

"Must… take… revenge," said Rachel. She looked at Marina as Marina gave her two golden bracelets with rubies. As she placed them on her wrists, the two of them began to head off.

As the two were walking along the beach, Silva laughed as he looked at her, looking at her from behind, "Rachel, playing with her past… once I kill the others, I can figure out a way to destroy that place she's from too with Rayquaza."


Meanwhile…

Getting on their Hunter Harleys from Mt. Pyre, the rangers arrived on Route 123. As they got off their Harleys, Grace and the others started walking on the path. Lamar pulled out his device, "Rachel's signal is not far."

"I hope so," said Grace, walking over.

As the four rangers walked around the bend, Rachel stood there as she was fishing with her sister, laughing. Lamar grinned as he walked over, "Rachel!"

Rachel turned around as she looked. Her smile went to a frown in seconds. Lamar looked at her as he raised his hands, "What's wrong? Not so excited to see me?"

"… Hello. Looks like you have some secrets you need to fess up to," said Rachel.

"What are you talking about?" asked Lamar, looking at her, "And you must be…. Marina?"

"Yeah, I am alive and well… thanks for killing our parents," said Marina.

Lamar laughed as he looked at her, "No, I did no such thing."

Rachel turned around as she looked at Lamar. She charged forward as she threw a punch. Lamar ducked as he went back toward his friends. Seb turned around as he looked at Rachel. As Rachel struggled, Seb turned around to stop her, "Hey, leave him alone! He didn't do such a thing!"

"LEAVE ME ALONE! HE'S MINE!" shouted Rachel. She kicked Seb in the stomach. However, as she went to charge Grace and Zander tried to handle her. They were unsuccessful. Immediately, Rachel took out her Relic Detector.

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

A yellow aura surrounded her body as she went to strike with her Thunder Scooper. As she went to strike, Lamar went backwards as he tried to run away. He turned around as he tried to stop her. Lamar's eyes began to glow in a blue aura as Suicune surrounded him. As Lamar began to examine, Rachel blocked it as she turned around. She took out her Relic Blaster, shooting Lamar. Lamar yelled as he was hit. Landing on the ground, Lamar looked at his right arm with a burn on the side. He looked at her as she laughed, looking at him. Seb turned around as he looked at them. He turned around as he aimed his Relic Blaster at the ground. Shooting the ground multiple times, the rangers quickly dashed out of the way. Rachel and Marina stepped through the smoke to see that they've vanished.

"Darn!" shouted Rachel.


Later that evening…

The stars were looking brighter than ever as the rangers were sitting down together. The rangers plus Urara had a campfire right outside Mt. Pyre. Their sleeping bags were laid around the campfire with Rachel's stuff wrapped in a different place. While the rangers were discussing the events today, Lamar was in a separate place. Lamar was wrapping his right arm in medical bandages as he turned to Zander. Zander and the others were having a long talk about what happened today.

Sighing, Zander stood there as he looked at the others.

"I don't buy her story. Her family was dead by Incinizard… she told us everything," said Zander.

"Exactly," said Grace, "She met Lamar after her parents were killed. But, Marina looked really convincing."

"I highly doubt that story is true…," said Lamar, "If I killed her parents, I wouldn't have been the Blue Mystic Ranger!"

"True," said Urara, looking at him, "But, why you?"

Lamar shrugged as he looked at Urara, "I wish I knew. I do know one thing. Someone manipulated her. Rachel has not gotten over the death of her family, even with what we did to stop Hades."

"Really?" asked Seb.

Lamar nodded, "She has not found peace within herself. I sensed it."

Lamar stepped forward as he went to sit down on the beach. As he sunk his feet into the sand, he began to place a stick in the flames. He looked at them as he gulped, looking at the rangers like he had something hidden from the team.

"This happened three months ago… Rachel and I were hanging out alone…," said Lamar.


Three months ago…

Rachel was chasing after Lamar across the beach of Route 118 as they were looking at the waves. Rachel was in a black and red one piece swim suit, enjoying the chase while Lamar was running around wearing a blue and white trunks with a black t-shirt. As Rachel sped up, both of them landed on the shore as the waves crashed on top of each other.

A few minutes later…

Lamar's shirt was hanging along a branch as he was wiping off the droplets from the ocean. Looking at Rachel, Rachel was wearing a towel around her neck as she was looking at him. He sat down as he looked at her, leaving his hat to air dry.

"So, I had a lot of fun," said Rachel, "Probably not that much fun since I left Magiland."

"Well, I am glad to be of service," said Lamar, grinning as he looked at her. As the waves crashed the shore, she looked at him as Lamar sat next to her, looking at her, "You seem… out of place."

"I do…," said Rachel, "Lamar, can I tell you something?"

Lamar nodded as he looked at her. Rachel sighed as she turned around, "Marina and I would do this for fun in one of the places in Magiland. The beaches were open and it was just fun. It reminded me so much of my life up there."

"Your sister meant a lot to you," said Lamar.

"Well… when Incinizard destroyed my family… I didn't think I would ever be able to recover from the trauma," said Rachel, looking at Lamar with depression.

"And… what if I told you if we still defeated Master Hades?" asked Lamar.

"Even if we did, its still going to take time. I have so much to do to transition in this grieving… I don't know if I will be able to do that after he's destroyed," said Rachel.

Lamar nodded silently, "Well, I could say take one day at a time. However, I understand that losing a loved one is like losing a part of your soul."

Rachel nodded as she turned to the beach, looking at the sunset. Lamar turned around as he reached into his backpack. As he brought his necklace out, he looked over as he turned to her. Sitting down, she noticed that it was a ruby and sapphire pendant that could be split into two necklaces. As Lamar split it, he turned to Rachel as she placed it around her neck.

"What is this?" asked Rachel.

"This is a necklace I bought us when I was in Lavaridge. These necklaces are to resemble that no matter what happens, we'll be there for each other," said Lamar.

Rachel turned around as she looked at him, "Are you… sure?"

"Yes…," said Lamar, holding her close.


"I promised Rachel that I would never abandon her. So, I don't think Marina is real… at least the Marina we saw."

Seb turned around as he looked at him, "Well, it's going to suck but we are going to have to look for the Precious and then try to set Rachel straight. Who knows what Team Dracos is up to."

"Guess we need to start in the morning," said Urara, looking at her watch.

Lamar sighed as he laid down in his sleeping bag, "I guess you're right. It's going to be hard to get sleep without her."

"I think we won't be sleeping," said Grace, "We are all worried just like you are."

"I know…," said Lamar, sighing as he leaned his head back on the pillow. Closing his eyes, he tried to do whatever he can to fall asleep.


Meanwhile…

Sitting along a cave off of Route 123, Rachel yawned as she looked at Marina. Marina looked at her as she had a campfire lit. Rachel looked up as she turned to Marina, "Hey, I am going to go get some sleep."

"That's fine. I'll catch up!" she said.

Rachel grinned as she looked at her, "Night, sis."

As Rachel went to lay beside the rocks, Marina grinned as she noticed as her eyes closed. After a few minutes, Marina noticed Rachel was knocked out cold. She grinned as she turned around. Looking behind her, a gust of wind appeared behind her.

"So… Dramemer… I guess everything went according to plan," said Jake.

Marina's eyes began to glow bright pink as she transformed into a Dragonite body. However, her face and arms were shaped like a Marshama.

"Yes… leader… using Rachel was the greatest idea to split the team up while we find that orb," she said.

"Good," said Jake, raising his hand, "Go into her dreams… manipulate it. Prove to her that Lamar killed her family… and Lamar can finally admit defeat."

Dramemer turned around as she noticed Rachel sleeping peacefully. A pink aura surrounded Rachel as she was sleeping. As Rachel started sleeping, her dreams were being altered.

"Hear me… Hear me… Hear me! You and your friends will fall to me. Bow to Hades! Bow to him now!"

"Where am I?" Rachel asked.

Rachel turned around, noticing the wooden markings. She turned around as she noticed Marina and her parents washing the dishes, creating iron and more. Rachel then noticed the harp that was hanging from the ceiling. She turned around as Lamar barged in, this time wearing Incinizard's armor.

"Rachel! Marina! Run!"

As Rachel turned around, she heard a few screams as she gasped, seeing what has happened.

He snapped his fingers. Immediately, flames erupted from the ground as Rachel was surrounded through the heat waves of fire. As one of the embers hit the wooden chair, the wooden chair began to erupt on fire.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she screamed.


Meanwhile…

Lamar's eyes jolted up as he jumped up from his sleeping bag. Looking around, he noticed the flames were out from the campfire and the rest of the team was asleep. Lamar turned around as he looked at the ocean. The waves were crashing on the shore as he turned to the others. As he dashed over to the other side of the island, he looked around as he looked at the oceans. He didn't want to disturb them. It was only a few hours since they all fell asleep. Lamar turned around as he looked at his morpher, "I sense Rachel is nearby."

Pressing 71 on the Relic Detector, the Hunter Harley magically appeared in front of him. Pushing the Hunter Harley into the water, he transformed it into a wave runner, he drove around with the wave runner, heading straight toward Route 123.

As he landed to the other side of the beach, he placed his Hunter Harley to the side. Dashing toward the mainland, he looked around as he turned to the palm trees.

"I sense something… something wrong," said Lamar to himself.


Later that morning…

As the sun was rising from the east, Urara opened her eyes as she looked at the sun. She laid down as she felt the sun on her face. Grinning, she put her arms behind her head, grinning as she was watching the sun shine down on her face. As she turned to her right, she noticed all of the others sleeping. As she reached for her laptop, she noticed that Lamar's backpack was tied up.

"Where did he go?" asked Urara, looking at the items. She then turned around as she saw a message written on the beach.

Hey,

Something is wrong with Rachel. I sensed it. I am on Route 123 to find her.

Lamar

"Oh no," said Urara, walking over to Zander and Grace, waking them up. Grace looked up as she noticed Urara's frantic excitement as she went to wake up Seb. Seb looked up as he carefully rolled out of his sleeping bed. Seb turned around as he looked at Urara, "You couldn't wait an hour?"

"Sorry Seb… but Lamar left Mt. Pyre. He's on Route 123," she said.

"Say what?" asked Seb, climbing out of his sleeping bag, "He must've went to find Rachel alone…"

"Wonderful," Grace said, looking at the rangers as she reached for her Relic Detector. As the others called on their Hunter Harleys, the rangers hopped on the wave runners. Urara quickly summoned her convertible as she sat down.

"Activate Yacht Mode!"

Pressing the button, a pink aura surrounded her car. The wheels shrunk into the body of the car with a propeller coming out of the tail pipe. The inner console flipped over as it turned into a joystick with a navigation system. Urara pressed a few buttons as she floated along the waters, the rangers were driving in front of her in their Hunter Harleys as they reached the other side of the island. As they got there, they got off their Hunter Harleys, noticing that Lamar's Hunter Harley was parked. Seb turned around as he dashed toward.

"He couldn't have gone far," said Zander, turning to Urara. Urara nodded as she took out her device. She looked at the other rangers as she pointed to that direction, "According to Rachel's signal, she's going in that direction."

"Great…," said Grace, turning to the others, "Let's head over there!"


Meanwhile…

Lamar was crawling on the ground, looking at the bushes. As he took out his binoculars, he placed the binoculars over his eyes as he went to scan. Looking over, he noticed a mountain with a cave opening. Looking at what that was, he then noticed that it was Marina and Rachel walking along. As she was walking with her, Lamar nodded slowly as he looked down, reaching for his Relic Blaster. He looked around as he crept within the bushes. As he went toward the bushes, he snuck around as he was looking at the two of them. As he looked at them, he reached for his binoculars again. As he looked at his binoculars, he noticed Jake walking toward them. Jake grinned as he looked at Rachel. Rachel looked as she watched Jake.

"So… you want to work for us?" asked Jake, crossing his arms, "We can help you…"

"Why?" asked Rachel, "I want to help my sister get back to Magiland."

"You will be able to," said Jake, looking at her as he walked toward the back of the place. He looked at her as Jake took out a silver and purple orb with red and blue lights around it, "The Orb of Destruction is ours… and we can collect so many… and here's what I need you to do."

"What do you want me to do?" asked Rachel, grinning.

"Simple. Steal the other artifacts and if you collected any jewels, bring them to me," said Jake.

Rachel nodded slowly as she turned around as she looked at him, "I'll be more than happy to."

"YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING!"

Rachel turned around with Marina. Jake laughed as he looked at Lamar, walking out of the bushes, putting the Relic Blaster at Marina.

"You would kill my own sister," said Rachel.

"Rachel, this is NOT your sister," said Lamar, looking at her, "She is manipulating you."

Lamar marched forward as he looked straight ahead. Rachel started walking back as he continued to walk forward. As he continued to walk forward, Marina stood in front of him. Lamar looked down at her as she grinned. She placed her arm on his shoulder to back away. Immediately, Lamar pushed her away as she walked forward. Marina grinned as she revealed a golden blaster with red lines. As she aimed for Lamar, he looked over as she pulled the trigger. Golden blasts emerged from her blaster. Immediately, Lamar took the hit. As the laser hit his shoulder, he yelled as he landed on the ground. Looking up, he managed to crawl back up, covering his shoulder. Heading over toward her, Marina went to shoot again. This time, shooting in front of him. Explosions appeared in front of him as he dived backwards. As he did, he pulled the Relic Detector from his hand.

A black and purple aura surrounded Lamar as he transformed into his suit. He then turned around as he looked at Rachel.

"Come on Rachel… you know me," said Lamar, "I never killed your parents."

Rachel stumbled backwards, "It's a lie… all of it!"

As the Relic Detector was reached, she activated her morpher. A yellow aura surrounded her as she transformed into her suit. As she dived to attack, Lamar blocked the attack. Dodging the attack, Lamar kicked Rachel in the stomach. Rachel screamed as she threw a back kick at his face. Lamar dodged the attack as he swept across, causing Rachel to land on the ground. Jake laughed as he watched this.

"Perfect! Do it Rachel!"

"That's enough!"

Jake turned around as he looked at the other three rangers. Seb, Grace and Zander dashed over toward the area.

"Stay out of this, rangers!"

As a green aura emerged from his energy blade, he withdrew the blade and released a green line of energy. Quickly, the three rangers took out their Relic Detectors.

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Red, pink and blue auras surrounded them as they transformed into their suits. No sooner their suits appeared, the green light hit their suits. Explosions surrounded them as they landed on the ground. Lamar turned around as he watched, but got back kicked by Rachel. Rachel turned around as she used her Thunder Scooper.

A yellow aura surrounded her Thunder Scooper as it began to charge.

"Thunder Slash!"

As yellow lightning surrounded her Thunder Scooper, Lamar was hit. Lamar yelled as he landed on the ground. A black aura surrounded as he transformed out of his suit. Lamar looked around as he noticed Rachel ready to strike with her Hunter Blade.

"Say goodbye!" she shouted.

As she swung her blade, Lamar watched as the blade came down swinging. Lamar immediately put his palms out to block the blade. As he did, a blue aura surrounded him. Rachel watched as a blue aura surrounded her. Screaming, she turned around as the blue aura affected. Immediately, Lamar's Suicune energy began to charge up.

"Not again!" shouted Jake.

"… Rachel… remember," shouted Lamar.

Rachel screamed as she began to see all of the flashbacks from her memory.


"Mystic Staff: Trident Mode!"

Raising his trident, Lamar cut across. However, he was protected with every stroke. Meanwhile, Lamar turned around as he went to throw his trident. Using his Torchic hands, flames came out striking the trident down. He then threw across, shooting Lamar down. Lamar yelled as he landed on the ground.

"I guess you are going to have to turn me into stone," said Lamar.

"What is he doing?" asked Urara.

Kenders laughed as he aimed directly at Lamar. Lamar grinned underneath his helmet as a green aura surrounded Kenders. As the green beam shot out, Lamar took out his phone.

"Psykos Gigiru! Mirror Coat!"

Pressing a button, a pink aura emerged from his morpher as a mirror appeared. The beam reflected at the opponent, turning Kenders into stone.

"My Hades Beast," said Persha.

"And now…," said Lamar, "For the Grand Finale…"

He took out his trident as he waved it in the air, "Spirit of Suicune, engulf my body!"

A veil of water surrounded him as his trident was raised. He then charged through as a blast of water emerged from the ground, "AQUA JET!"

Piercing him across with his trident, Kenders exploded into pieces. Landing on the ground, he turned around as he saw Persha's face, which was a look of surprise.

"I am officially pissed," said Persha, "Shit…"

She immediately disappeared into the ground. The four rangers headed toward Rachel, who was released from the statue. Rachel had a sigh of relief as she got off the cart. She walked toward the group.

"Lamar, thank you," said Rachel, "And I want to say I'm sorry for calling you out."

Lamar grinned as he shook hands with her, "I think freeing you is a sign that I accepted your apology."


Sometime later…

Immediately, a blue sparkle appeared as their weapons disappeared. Rachel looked at him as she turned walked over, "WHAT THE HELL?"

"You can't fight them enraged…," said Lamar.

"Listen, Lamar," said Rachel.

"NO, YOU LISTEN!" shouted Lamar. Rachel stood there in surprise, "I am not going to let you do this alone."

"Lamar, you don't understand. You could cause all of this to happen and it's now my fault… if anything, I need to do this alone," she said.

Lamar grabbed her by the arm as he brought her closer. As she tried to break free, Lamar wouldn't let her go.

"Let me go…," said Rachel.

"No way… you can't do this in your state of mind," said Lamar.

Rachel relaxed a little. Lamar released his grip once she calmed down. Rachel turned around as she started sniffing. Lamar stood there as she dashed over, sobbing in his chest. As the sobbing continued, Rachel looked up as she turned to Lamar, "Lamar, I don't want you to go…"

"Because?" asked Lamar.

"... I care about you," said Rachel.


"Zander, let me handle this," said Lamar.

"But….," said Zander.

Lamar turned around, "I have an idea!"

Hoten released blue and yellow bolts from his saber, slashing the two rangers. Lamar flipped back as he landed on his back, cringing in pain as he sat up. Standing up, Lamar pressed his belt buckle, "Doom Hammer!"

He carried the Doom Hammer in his hands as he charged forward. Hoten released red and blue beams. Lamar kept dashing back and forth as he was heading toward him. Hoten went to strike him down, however, he deflected the blasts with his hammer. He jumped up as he raised the hammer. A black and red aura surrounded it.

"Shadow Slammer!"

A black and red aura surrounded his hammer as he crushed Hoten on the head. A red and yellow aura surrounded him as he exploded into pieces. Meeting up with Zander, the other rangers showed up. Urara grinned as she turned around.

"That was great!" Rachel shouted.

"Yeah, that was awesome, wasn't it?" Lamar asked, hugging Rachel tightly. Rachel looked at the others as she turned to him, "I was so worried."


Rachel's eyes began to glow bright reddish-orange as flames emerged from her body. As a shockwave occurred, Marina and Jake flew backwards as the rangers landed on the ground. Rachel looked down as a Moltres emerged from her. Her eyes were awakened as she looked at Lamar. Lessening the grip, she fell to her knees, dropping the Hunter Blade.

"NOOOOO!" shouted Marina.

"Darn it!" shouted Jake.

"Rachel… are you there?" asked Lamar.

Rachel looked up as she stared at Lamar. Lamar had a few burns on his face with two superficial cuts, one on each hand. He looked at Rachel as he had tears forming from his face.

"Lamar… what happened to me?" asked Rachel.

Lamar crawled over as he brought her into an embrace. Rachel looked up as Lamar hugged her tightly. Lamar gulped as he turned around, "I thought I would never see you again."

Rachel grinned as she looked at him. Hugging him, she looked at him, "I am sorry for being…"

"Don't worry about it," said Lamar, "I'm just glad you're okay."

Rachel turned around as she looked at Marina. Marina grinned as she turned to her, "You can't honestly believe he's the murderer."

"I'm sorry…," said Rachel, looking at the bracelets on her. She turned around as she snapped them in half and threw them to the ground, "But, I don't believe your story."

Marina stuttered as she turned around. Rachel grinned as she looked at Lamar, "First off, my sister died from Incinizard. Incinizard is not Lamar… and never will be. Incinizard, as far as I know, is dead! As for you… to use my past to destroy my boyfriend is not just cruel, but its an all time low, especially for you Jake!"

Jake said nothing as she stepped forward. Before Jake could do anything, Rachel took her right hand. As it was engulfed in flames, she smacked Jake across the face, pushing him to the ground. He looked up with a burn on his face. Stepping backwards, she looked at Lamar. Lamar nodded as Marina turned around. Seb and the others stepped forward, "I guess it's personal now."

"Well, I have…," said Marina, looking around.

"Looking for this?"

Marina turned around as she looked at Urara. Standing on top of the cave, she grinned as she grabbed the Orb of Destruction, "I think this is our property."

"You…," said Marina. A pink aura surrounded her as she transformed into her true form. Before she could strike, Rachel and Lamar pulled out their Relic Blasters, shooting golden beams. The creature landed on the ground. Jake turned around as he looked at them.

"Urara, get out of here," shouted Lamar, "We'll handle these two."

Urara nodded as she dashed away from the caverns. Rachel and Lamar took out their Relic Detectors, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

Transforming into their suits, the rangers struck their poses as they turned to Jake and Dramemer.

"The strong adventurer! Relic Hunter Yellow!"

"The fast adventurer! Relic Hunter Black!"

"The fiery adventure! Relic Hunter Red!"

"The deep adventurer! Relic Hunter Blue!"

"The mindful adventurer! Relic Hunter Pink!"

Rachel struck out her hand as she clenched her hand into a fist and put it toward her chest, "Let the adventure begin!'

"Poké Rangers Relic Hunters!"

"Hunter Armor, engage!" shouted Rachel.

Immediately, a yellow aura surrounded Rachel as the armor plating arrived in his left hand. Placing the plate on her chest, Rachel 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 Rachel.

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

"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 Dramemer, creating a shockwave. Dramemer screamed as she disintegrated.

Jake took a deep breath as he turned to the sky, "Silva!"

Suddenly, gusts of wind picked up as the rangers turned around. A golden tornado formed around Dramemer as her corpse began to glow bright gold. As the aura surrounded the creature, Dramemer grew ten times bigger. Rachel and Lamar nodded as they took out their Relic Detectors.

"Relic Hunter Zords, all 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. Dramemer released pink and purple beams. The Houndoom Zord and the Manectric Zord charged forward. The Manectric Zord released yellow beams from its mouth, piercing Dramemer. The Houndoom Zord released a dark energy blast, hitting the creature. As the creature yelled, the zords stood in formation.

"Super Adventure Fusion!" yelled Rachel and Lamar.

Super Adventure Fusion!

Pressing 1 through 9 on Rachel and Lamar's Relic Detector, the spinner was activated. 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.

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!"

Dramemer screamed as she took out a pink and purple grenade launcher. Shooting pink and purple bombs, explosions surrounded the Megazord, but no effect. Immediately, Dramemer got the right and left hook from the Megazord.

"Take this!" shouted Rachel.

Throwing an uppercut, Dramemer flew backwards as it landed through a pile of trees. Looking up, the Super Relic Hunter Megazord began to charge.

"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 Dramemer, 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. The beam pierced through and the Super Relic Hunter Megazord drilled straight through with the stinger. As the Super Relic Hunter Megazord landed on the ground, a shockwave of explosions occurred.

"That's what you get…," said Rachel, turning to Lamar. Lamar nodded as he tapped her on the shoulder, "I am glad that you are back to your senses."

"So… what was that all about though?" asked Rachel, "Then again…"

"Yeah, let's not bring it up," said Lamar.


A few hours later…

Rachel and the others were walking across as they were heading past the palm trees. As the trees were swaying back and forth, the rangers looked up as they noticed the beautiful summer homes and the shopping center. Rachel and the others were surprised as they were looking at the welcome sign.

"Ah… Lilycove City!" shouted Rachel, "Finally!"

"We can spend a couple of days here. I am okay with this," said Seb, laughing as he turned around.

"I could go for a shower and a nice cuisine," said Grace.

"Same," said Urara, grinning as she turned to Rachel. Rachel nodded, "Yeah…"

Lamar turned around as he looked at Rachel. Brushing up with his fingers, Rachel looked at him as he raised an eyebrow. Rachel shook her head as she looked at the others, "Last one to the Pokémon Center gets to feed my Pokémon for a week!"

"Not fair!" shouted Lamar.

Rachel grinned as she continued dashing toward the city.

Somewhere off Route 124…

Clouds were formed from the sky as lightning struck the ocean. As the waves got restless, the winds started picking up. Lightning struck down from the clouds as a red aura surrounded the ground. Immediately, a human landed in the dirt. Landing in the sand, he looked up as he noticed the waves. He turned around as he looked at the cave.

"Where am I?" he asked.

He stood up, brushing off the dirt. He had dark brown skin and black hair in a buzz cut. He wore a red t-shirt with blue jeans. Looking up, he turned around as he looked at his ruby crystal that was around his neck.

Turning around, he then noticed something emanating from his crystal.

"Flare, what's going on?"

Suddenly, flames surrounded him as Team Magma arrived. Courtney and Tabitha looked at him as Maxie arrived.

"Ah… so…. A human being… this is going to be fun," he said, grinning.
