A/N: Here is Chapter 21! I hope you enjoy! And yes, I had these chapters in my OneDrive for a while... expect one more tomorrow!
It was a beautiful day as the rangers were hanging at the pier with their belongings. They were waiting to get on the next boat toward Mossdeep Island, where Rachel's seventh badge is at stake. The five rangers sat a table as they were looking at the map.
"So… we're heading to Mossdeep Island… Rachel are you sure you are ready?" asked Grace.
"I hope so," Rachel replied, "Flare and I got it."
"… it's a Psychic Type gym," said Lamar, looking at Rachel, "Did you train your Absol lately?"
"Well…," said Rachel, rubbing her chin, "With what's been going on lately, I haven't really had a chance to train."
Lamar sighed as he looked at her, "Rachel, you don't have magic to save you this time."
"I know!" said Rachel, looking at him, "But, with Seb being taken to Johto and then the Ranger Slayers, its been one heck of a time."
"True," said Zander, looking at Rachel, "A lot of sleep and a lot of training was lost."
Before Seb could say anything, they heard something beeping on their Relic Detectors. Picking up the phone, he answered, "Yes?"
"Hey guys…," said Jack over the intercom, "So… I have some good news and I have some bad news."
"Alright," said Seb, putting the phone on speaker. The rangers looked over at his Relic Detector as Jack began to speak.
"So… believe it or not with the device… its actually working on reversing the process on Cedric's Incinizard cells," said Jack, impressed on the other side of the phone.
"That's good!" said Lamar, "But…"
"But," said Jack, looking at the screen, "I spoke with JT. Apparently, it was still a prototype when created."
"It was a prototype?" asked Lamar.
"Just like the Space Rangers suits, the sixth ranger suit was a prototype. However, because Cedric will be using it constantly and its going to cause a surge with all six using the grid, all six of you are going to get an upgrade on your suits, especially with what we are dealing with," said Jack.
"That's great," said Grace, "So… what does that mean for Cedric?"
"He needs to spare using his powers right now until the upgrade is complete," said Jack, "Luckily, its for 30-minute battles and not 3 minutes."
"All aboard passengers to Mossdeep Island," a voice shouted. The rangers looked up as they saw a beautiful cruise ship docking at the Lilycove Pier. Seb nodded as he picked up his Relic Detector, "Hey, Jack. We are going to get on the ship and head to Mossdeep."
As they finished the conversation, Seb placed the Relic Detector in his pocket. As the five rangers started walking, Seb turned around as he noticed Urara running across with her luggage. The rangers looked at each other as they turned to Urara.
"Where's Cedric?" asked Rachel.
"Well, I have Cedric's backpack but I have no idea where he is," said Urara.
"Well, he should be able to teleport," sajd Seb.
"But, what if he's not there?" asked Urara.
"Well, we can't wait for him," said Seb, grabbing Cedric's backpack, "I'll call him when we get on the ship."
Chapter 21: Armed and Dangerous
Waves crushed the Aqua Hideout as the Aqua Grunts were hanging outside the cave. As they were hanging outside, the Aqua Grunts were observing three submarines as they were entering the cave. The submarines were blue with their logo, of course. As the submarines docked in one of their docking bays, there were black pipes that rose from the ceiling wall, connecting to the submarines. As a ventilation system kicked on, a loud sheering sound started sucking up material from each submarine.
The material traveled to a room separate from the submarines. As they landed on the ground, Archie watched the whole thing. The robotic claws took metallic material as it combined into a Sharpedo like arm. Archie grinned as he saw the Sharpedo component connect to a robot that was standing. Archie grinned as he looked at it.
"So," said Archie, "Nick was thoughtful to sell this to me."
The robot was a three-part robot. It had a right arm, shaped like a Sharpedo, a left arm shaped like a Tentacruel and it was connected to a Quagsire. It had also metallic legs connected to the Quagsire as it had a black and silver helmet on top of it.
"Mechanoid Obstinate is operational," said Shelly, looking over Archie's shoulder.
"Yes," said Archie, "We just need to do one final test and we can use it on the rangers for -."
Suddenly, there was a sudden yell. Archie and Shelly watched as Matt flew out of the cockpit, landing on his back. Shelly dashed over as she checked on him.
"Matt, are you okay?" she asked.
Matt looked up as he turned to Archie, "Nick's there!"
"Nick?" asked Archie.
Suddenly, the red lights turned on as the white lights appeared. Inside the cockpit, Chloe and Brent stood there as Nick appeared in the center. He grinned as he pressed the button, "Thank you, Archie."
"You sold this to me and I want to use it," said Archie.
"Sorry, the rangers burned my warehouse. I must use what we have for now… thanks for working with me," said Nick.
Grinning a blue and green aura surrounded the robot as it disappeared. Archie stood forward as he looked at the Aqua Admin.
"Go get that robot!" shouted Archie.
Meanwhile…
The rangers were cruising along on the cruise ship along with the rest of the trainers. As they were hanging out, drinking a few smoothies, Seb was looking at the television, watching the Pokémon battle on TV. The outdoor bar had a few tiki torches attached to it with palm trees. There were waiters and waitresses wearing tropical swag as they were going back and forth as Seb was glued to the television.
"Ooh, wrong move," said Seb.
Zander looked at him, "Yeah, Reflect would have been a better move."
"This trainer never teaches his Pokémon how to use those moves. There are only attacks," said Grace.
"Why?" asked Rachel.
"Because he thinks attacks is the best… no need for defense," said Lamar, sighing as he was sipping his smoothie.
Urara shook her head as she opened her mirror, "Well, at least my hair is looking nice."
The other rangers darted their eyes at her as she looked at them. Urara sighed as she looked at her, "Well, no offense, I am not really…"
"We know," the rangers said in unison.
As Urara was working on her eyeliner, she then noticed something weird. She saw a shadow like creature behind her. Urara turned around as she looked at the balcony. As she took out her pink binoculars, she raised them to her eyes as she was looking at a bigger picture. Her jaw dropped as she noticed a robotic creature, digging through an island with its claw. She then turned around as she looked at Seb, who was looking at the television. Grace, however, caught her attention. As Grace got up, Urara gave her the binoculars. Grace observed the sights of what she saw.
"What in the world is going on?" asked Grace.
"Something's up," said Urara.
They headed back to the group, trying not to disturb the other guests. As they huddled together, Grace reached for the Relic Detector as she pressed the button.
"Jack, this is Grace," the pink ranger started to say.
The others looked at Grace as Jack started to speak, "Yes, Grace?"
"We see a robot destroying an island behind us… what's going on?" asked Grace.
"Oh," said Jack, "Well, that's why Cedric is not here with you. I sent Cedric to retrieve the Thunder Cannon."
"The Thunder Cannon?" asked Seb.
"Yes, the Thunder Cannon is one of the three artifacts. We already got the Tornado Bow, but if you combine the Thunder Cannon, Tornado Bow and the Land Hammer… you get a massive combination," said Jack, "It seems they got there first. Why don't you go check it out?"
"We should probably head to that island," said Seb, looking at the team.
Lamar looked at Seb as he pointed to the ocean, "Well, I guess we are going to have some fun."
Zander gulped, "Well, Urara, I guess you will stay on the boat."
Urara nodded as she turned around, "I am going to take my Furfrou to get her hair done at the Poké Salon on the main floor. Have fun!"
Urara hopped off one of the chairs and started walking out toward the main floor. For the others, they hopped off the chairs and walked along the main floor. After fifteen minutes, they walked to one side of the ship. The aft side was empty. Looking around, a few sailors were heading into the opposite direction. The five rangers stood on crates as they saw the rail. Seb and the others released their Relic Detectors. Pressing a few buttons, flashes of light appeared as the Hunter Harleys appeared on the main deck.
"Let's go team," said Seb.
One at a time, each Hunter Harley flew across as they landed in the ocean. The rangers jet skied across Route 124, heading toward the island coordinates.
Twenty minutes later…
The island enlarged as they got closer. Slowing down the speed, Seb stopped as the others stopped behind him. Lamar and Rachel looked at him as Seb looked over.
"Why'd you stop?" asked Rachel.
Zander turned around as he pointed to the island, "I see why…"
Grace gulped, "Yeah… what is that?"
The five rangers looked up to see Mechanoid Obstinate digging through the island, looking for the artifact. Explosions and screams could be heard from a distance.
"It seems that they started looking for the object… by destroying the island," said Zander.
Grace turned around as she heard a few screams, "I hear wild Pokémon from a far too…"
"Well, let's get moving…," said Seb.
No sooner he went to start his engine, explosions appeared around them. As the waves exploded around them, the rangers are soaked from ocean water as they noticed the Mechanoid, now aiming at them. Looking at the robot, inside, Chloe and Brent were sitting in the cockpit.
"Well, hello!" shouted Chloe.
"Chloe!" shouted Grace, "What are you doing?"
"Finding the Thunder Cannon… duh…," said Brent, "Now…"
Pressing a few buttons, the Sharpedo arm stretched out. As the jaws opened, a blue wave of energy aimed directly at the team. The rangers dodged the attack as the explosions surrounded them. As they parked their Hunter Harleys on the beach, the explosions continued as the five rangers dodged the attack. However, as they cleared, they then noticed another monster in front of them. He was the humanoid version of Mechanoid Obstinate, as he looked at them. He then had the Aqua Grunts behind him. Turning around, Archie, Matt and Shelly arrived.
"Archie!" shouted Seb.
"Rangers," said Archie, "We know about the hammer too. Unfortunately though… we are going to seize the robot ourselves and get the artifact. Obstinate, Aqua Grunts, do it!"
Obstinate nodded as the Aqua Grunts charged forward. Seb and the others took out their Relic Hunters, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"
As they transformed into their suits, the rangers fought the Aqua Grunts. Zander, Lamar and Rachel dealt with the Aqua Grunts, using their Hunter Blades. The Aqua Grunts withdrew their sabers as they went to strike, the rangers blocked the attack and then struck across, causing the grunts to land on the ground. As a few of them were heading toward them, the rangers transformed their Hunter Blades into Relic Blasters.
"Relic Blasters, fire!"
Pulling the trigger, gold beams struck out as the Aqua Grunts landed on the ground.
Grace and Seb took out their Relic Blasters as they pulled the trigger, shooting down Obstinate. Obstinate stood up as his armor didn't take the hit.
"Huh?" asked Seb.
"How?" asked Grace.
Obstinate laughed as he released a blue beam from his Sharpedo arm, shooting the rangers down. As the two rangers landed on the ground, the other three rangers stood around them. Grace crawled up as she looked at the others.
"It seems Team Aqua has gotten stronger…," said Grace.
"We're not done yet," said Seb, "Hunter Armor, engage!"
Immediately, a red aura surrounded Seb as the armor plating arrived in his left hand. Placing the plate on his chest, Seb stretched his arms out as the plate connected to him. Silver armor connected to the back of his body. Black and white stripes surrounded his shoulder pads as black and white gloves appeared.
"Relic Crusher!" shouted Seb.
Raising her hand, a golden blaster appeared in Seb's left hand. It was a silver and black blaster with ruby stripes. It had a mixer like head on one side and a golden drill head on the other. Seb transformed the blaster to have the mixer end appear first.
"Mixer Head… activate!" shouted Seb.
As the others aimed for it, Seb pulled the trigger. A green aura surrounded the blaster as sludge emerged from the blaster, causing Obstinate to be stuck in this cement like structure. He then transformed it into drill mode.
"Bulldoze Combination Crush!"
Pressing the trigger, a red energy beam shot out, transforming the energy beam into a drill. Before the drill could pierce his armor, Obstinate broke out of the drill and released a blue energy force field, reflecting the beam. The beam went directly to the rangers as a massive explosion surrounded them. The Relic Crusher flew up in the sky as the rangers landed on the ground.
"That was awful…," said Zander.
"I see why Jack said we need that upgrade," said Grace, looking at them.
"Yeah…," said Rachel, "Where's Cedric anyway?"
As Obstinate walked forward, silver beams shot out as Obstinate was hit by the attack. Seb turned around as Cedric arrived. Cedric dashed forward as he turned to them.
"Where were you?" asked Seb.
"I sensed the hunters would be on the island and Jack told me they would be here… so I went on my own," said Cedric.
Seb was going to say something about him working together, but he shook his head as he looked at Cedric.
"You go get that artifact and stop the Mechanoid… I'll handle him," said Cedric.
"Good luck," said Seb, dashing over.
Obstinate laughed as he released another blast of energy. Cedric dodged the attack as he missed. Turning around, he then saw Shelly and Matt who arrived.
"It seems we need to be of assistance… wait where are the others?" asked Shelly.
"There is no need to find them," said Cedric, "I'll be your opponent."
Immediately, he took out his Detector Morpher, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"
In a flash of silver light, he transformed into his suit. Shelly and Matt stood in surprise as Cedric appeared in his shiny armor.
"The Dazzling Adventure, Relic Hunter Silver!"
"Relic Hunter… Silver?" asked the Aqua Admin.
Meanwhile…
Nick was sitting in the cockpit with the others. Mountains were destroyed as they were marching through the island.
"We need to find that artifact!" shouted Nick, "Burn this whole island if we have to!"
As he turned around, he started climbing the mountain. Lifting himself up on the ledge, he managed to walk on the middle layer as he walked. However, as he went to climb, an anchor was thrown at Nick's face. Nick yelled as he turned around, landing on the ledge. Rolling up, Archie stood there, swinging his anchor as he looked at him.
"So…," said Archie, "You decide to steal my robot that I bought?"
Before Nick could say anything, he looked up as Mechanoid Obstinate raised its left arm, slamming on the ledge. Nick and Archie yelled as the ground shook. Debris fell as the two of them fell to the depths of the ground. While that was going on, the other rangers were rushing toward the explosions. Seb arrived as he reached for his Relic Detector.
"JT, launch the zords!"
Within seconds, the Blaziken, Houndoom, Swampert, Manectric and Gallade Zords arrived in flashes of light. The Relic Drivers materialized on the ground as they picked them up. Immediately, the five of them headed straight to their vehicles. Seb arrived in his cockpit as he placed the Relic Driver in the center. The system started up as he looked at the viewscreen.
"Adventure Fusion!"
He pressed the first five numbers of the morpher and then spun the dial. Immediately, the systems began to haywire as he saw what was going on. The Houndoom and the Manectric got on all fours. The legs began to shrink as they turned into wheels. Leaving the heads where they were, their bodies lifted 90 degrees. The Blaziken Zord jumped up into the air as it landed on top of the zord legs. A red and golden charge surrounded the zords as they combined. The Swampert Zord divided in half. The Swampert's head and chest popped out as the body split in half, connecting to either side of Blaziken. The chest connected to the front of the Blaziken with the head covering the Blaziken. Last, the Gallade Zord flipped up as it put its legs together and spread its arms wide. Connecting to the back, Gallade Zord's arms wrapped around the chest. Golden eyes appeared on the helmet as the Megazord formed.
"Relic Hunter Megazord, assembly complete!"
The Relic Hunter Megazord threw a right punch at the Mechanoid. The Mechanoid stumbled back as it turned around. Brent and Chloe looked as they noticed the Megazord.
"Oh great… they pulled out the big guns…," said Brent.
"Well," said Chloe, "Let's give them a run for their money."
Pressing a few buttons, the Sharpedo arm stretched out. As the teeth opened up, a lime green energy beam struck out as the Megazord was hit by the attack. The rangers yelled as the cockpits sparked up. Stumbling backwards, the Megazord continued to battle.
"Adventure Saber!"
The Adventure Saber materialized in the right hand. As the saber stretched forward, the Mechanoid went to block it back as they swung with a punch. As the rangers held on, Brent laughed as he looked at him.
"Try this for size!" he said, laughing as he pressed the green button. The tentacles wrapped around the right arm of the Megazord. As the Relic Hunter Megazord tries to break free, Brent pressed the red button. A blue and green electrical surge surrounded the Relic Hunter Megazord. The rangers yelled as they were hit by the attack. The Relic Hunter Megazord crushed a rock formation, exploding as a blue aura surrounding it. Mechanoid Obstinate turned around as it noticed a sapphire cannon with white stripes. It also had a powder blue rim around the cannon.
"The Thunder Cannon!" Chloe shouted, "Do it!"
"Activating Artifact Absorption!" Brent said.
Pressing the button, the Sharpedo arm opened up as a green beam struck. The Thunder Cannon was hit as it was dragged toward the fist. As the Sharpedo arm closed, a blue aura surrounded it as the Thunder Cannon materialized on the Mechanoid.
"No way!" Seb shouted.
"You see…," said Brent, "Nah, they don't need to know. Charging power…"
A blue energy pulse surrounded the cannon as it aimed at the Relic Hunter Megazord.
"Goodbye!" he shouted.
Pressing the button, a severe electrical cobalt beam was unleashed. The Relic Hunter Megazord rolled away as the rock formation exploded. The Relic Hunter Megazord turned around as part of the island exploded.
"Look at that explosion!" shouted Lamar.
"He blew up half that island," said Grace, looking at the systems, "Scanning…"
Zander nodded, "It seems that when they absorbed the artifact, their attack rate went up by 70 percent. Which means our Megazord would have been severely damaged with what we have."
"Well," said Seb, "What about the Ultrazord?"
"It increases our firepower… but I don't know if we could hit them right in the center," said Grace.
"It's worth a try," said Rachel.
Seb turned around as he looked at his Relic Detector, "Auxiliary Zords, launch!"
Within the minute, the Beedrill, Gyarados, Heracross, Abomasnow and Aerodactyl zords arrived in flashes of light, heading toward the Mechanoid.
"Ultimate Adventure Fusion!"
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 detached as it connected to the left arm of the Megazord.
The Aerodactyl flew across as its head detached, forming the helmet of the Megazord. The body connected to the back of the Relic Hunter Megazord with the tail detached. The tail connected to the right arm of the Megazord, forming the saber. The cockpits appeared in the same location as the rangers were looking around.
"Relic Hunter Ultrazord… Assembly Complete!"
"Activate the engines!" Seb shouted.
Immediately, the Relic Hunter Ultrazord lifted off into the air, floating around as it circled around, heading toward the Mechanoid. Floating, the zords began to glow as it connected to the center of the Ultrazord. The Abomasnow Shield and the tail of the Aerodactyl combined as it turned into a crossbow. It was a white crossbow with a grey nozzle. It had a green scope attached to it.
"Hunter Crossbow! Target locked!"
Immediately, the red crosshairs aimed directly toward the Mechanoid.
"Relic Hunter Ultrazord, Sky Attack!"
A red and orange blast shot out of the crossbow. It shaped into a phoenix as it drilled into the Mechanoid. However, the Mechanoid released a blue force field, surrounding itself. The beam reflected, heading toward the Ultrazord.
"Quick, dodge!" shouted Seb.
As the Relic Hunter Ultrazord went to veer left, the blast hit the ride side of the Megazord. An explosion occurred in the center of the Ultrazord. The cockpit exploded with wires floating down as the Relic Hunter Ultrazord flew into a rock formation. Crushing the rock formation, the Relic Hunter Ultrazord erupted in sparks and explosions. The rangers hung on as flames erupted from the cockpit. Alarms blared as the rangers smacked their heads on the cockpit.
"What's going on?" Seb asked, yelling.
Lamar pressed a few buttons, "Weapons and armor are offline…"
"Major Damage to Relic Hunter Zords 4, 7 and 8…," said Grace, "We can't even maneuver."
"Parallel Engines are gone… unable to maneuver," said Zander.
"The attack has damaged our ejection sequence. We can't split apart and fight in the Relic Hunter Megazord," said Rachel.
Seb sighed as he clenched his fists, slamming it on the cockpit.
Turning around, he walked over as he looked at the screen. The Mechanoid stretched out his hand as the Thunder Cannon was aimed at close range. Seb turned around as he looked at Rachel. Rachel gulped as she looked at him, "Either we have evacuate… or stay."
Seb turned around as he noticed the cannon. Blue and white light surrounded the nozzle as it began to activate. Seb reached over as he went to press the red button on the right hand corner. As he went to do so, explosions sparked around the Mechanoid. As it stumbled, the Ranger Slayers hung on as they were holding on to the cockpit.
"What's going on?" asked Nick.
"The Thunder Cannon has overpowered our engines… we can't use it," said Brent.
"You told me they wouldn't be affected," said Nick, walking over.
"I guess I was wrong?" asked Brent.
"No, he's not wrong…"
Brent turned around as he looked around. Archie grinned as he walked into the cockpit. He laughed as he revealed his right fist, taking out three silver coils, "You can now repair the robot I paid for… I want it back."
"No way," said Chloe.
Archie laughed, "Well, then fine. It's yours… but…"
He walked toward the computer panel as he placed his hand on the computer panel, "Activate Program Archie 2."
Immediately, every console and computer started sparking as it exploded into pieces. Archie laughed as he looked at Nick. Nick stared at him as he watched what Archie did, "You…"
"You told us when we bought the robot what we could do. I put in an override system. If you are going to use my robot, you are going to have start from scratch. Good luck…"
He turned around as a blue aura surrounded him, teleporting to the beach…
Arriving on the beach, he turned around as Cedric was fighting the monster with Shelly and Matt.
"Shelly! Matt! Obstinate… we are leaving," said Archie.
"But, what about the robot?" asked Matt, pushing Cedric away. Archie shook his head as he turned to Matt, "They will have to figure out how to repair it themselves."
Shelly nodded as she and Obstinate headed toward Archie. As the four of them stood together, Archie pressed a blue button on his trident. Immediately, a blue aura surrounded them as they disappeared. Cedric dashed toward them as he looked at them disappear. He turned around, noticing the smoke coming from the mountain.
Within a few minutes, Cedric dashed over as he noticed that the Mechanoid was damaged. However, the Relic Hunter Ultrazord was heavily damaged. He headed straight toward the Ultrazord. As he walked into the cockpit, he noticed the flames that surrounded the zords.
"Seb, everyone!" shouted Cedric.
As he walked over, Seb was on the ground, unmorphed, sparks flying as he turned around. Cedric looked over as he reached for the green button that was flashing. Heading over, Cedric pressed the green button. Immediately, a green aura surrounded the Relic Hunter Ultrazord as it disappeared.
Meanwhile…
Slamming his trident to the ground, Archie walked over as he looked at Matt and Shelly. The two of them were terrified of Archie, knowing what he was capable of. Archie looked at them as he stabbed the trident in the ground.
"So… its nice to know that those idiots took our robot and found the Thunder Cannon," said Archie, "I don't know how we are going to get that robot back."
"Well…," said Shelly, "Maybe there is."
"What do you mean?" asked Archie, looking at her as she went to continue.
Shelly grinned, "While battling Cedric… they amplified our robot to deflect the Ultrazord. The Relic Hunter Ultrazord is severely damaged."
"Which means…," said Matt, putting his finger to his chin, "The rangers don't have a Megazord."
"Precisely," said Shelly, grinning, "What does that mean for us?"
Archie laughed as he turned to the two of them, "Hoenn is unprotected…."
The three of them turned around as they looked at Obstinate, laughing as they looked at the creature. Evil laughter filled the area, echoing around the area.
Meanwhile…
It was about an hour after the rangers were rescued by an attack that almost cost them their lives. For Seb, he slowly opened his eyes, realizing that he was in a small infirmary bed. He looked around his surroundings, noticing the other rangers were asleep. All had cuts and bruises on their faces. Seb turned around as he noticed a bruise or two on his. He looked at the door as he went to get up, only to find Amy who was sitting with a glass of water.
"Hey," said Seb, rubbing his head.
"Hello, looks like the five of you are going to be okay," she said.
"I hope… how did we end up here?" asked Seb.
"Cedric saved you," said Amy, grinning. Seb turned around as he looked at the door, "And where did he go?"
"He dropped you off and then left," said Amy.
Seb sighed as he looked at her, "I hope he's okay."
Turning around, he noticed JT and Jack, who were sitting on the other side. Jack took a deep breath as he turned to him, "I thought you were done for."
"Done for?" asked Seb, "Did you see that cannon?"
"Yep," said JT, "And it was a good thing he saved you. Here's a readout of the zords… you won't be too pleased."
As Seb noticed the palm pilot in JT's hands, JT passed over the black palm pilot. Opening the palm pilot, Seb stood there, half surprised, due to the damages, but was taken back by the readout. Seb looked at JT, "So… they are all somehow damaged."
"Yep… it seems that Ranger Slayers knew exactly where to hit you. If they would've targeted your engines, you would've been destroyed. Your ranger suits wouldn't have been able to protect you," said JT.
"How soon can we get them repaired?"
JT and Jack turned around with Seb looking toward his left, noticing Rachel. Her head was wrapped around in bandages as she turned to them.
"It depends on where we can begin…," said JT, "You just need to be patient."
Rachel sighed as she turned around, "So… where's Cedric?"
"I don't know," said JT, "I have no idea where he went."
Jack turned around as he looked at them, "We will give you an update on the zords."
As the door closed behind them, Seb and Rachel looked at each other. The yellow ranger sighed as she looked at the wall. Rachel shook her head, "We were almost finished."
"Yeah," said Seb, sighing, "And we thought defeating all of those enemies in the past would give us some experience."
"True," said Rachel, "I guess with more experience comes bigger challenges."
Seb nodded slowly. He looked at the floor as he turned to Rachel, "And this time… we are zord-less."
"Yeah…," said Rachel, sighing, "It's not like our old zords where we can transform without an issue."
Meanwhile…
Cedric was walking in the middle of the woods, in the mainland of Hoenn. As the clouds began to form, he looked up as he saw a cave that was there. He sighed as he was about to walk into the cave. As he went to walk into the cave, he looked at the mouth of the cave. He sighed as he wanted to walk into the cave, looking at everything from what was there.
While that was going on, Seb and Rachel were sitting in the main console, tracking Cedric's whereabouts. As Seb turned around, he saw a blue dot appear in the region. Seb nodded as he looked at the screen. He saw that he was near Route 103 and Oldale Town.
"Rachel… he's by the Altering Cave," said Seb.
"Hm…" said Rachel, looking at the screen, "Why is he there is the question?"
"Who knows…," said Seb, looking at the screen.
"You wouldn't mind if I go there do you?" asked Rachel, "I have a hunch…"
Seb shrugged, looking at the screen, "I do not see why not."
Rachel grinned as she reached for her Relic Detector. Pressing the button, a yellow aura surrounded her as she teleported.
Meanwhile…
Off on the distant coast of Route 124, stood a little island with a city attached to it. As the people were hanging out, enjoying themselves, there was a sudden vibrant earthquake. Looking up, the people were eyeing something as they noticed a Team Aqua submarine heading toward them.
"It's Team Aqua!" shouted one of them.
Archie stood on top as he turned around, "Argh… we are just going to do a simple raid. With the rangers no longer here to protect, we can just do what we want!"
"But, why not get the Thunder Cannon back?" asked Matt, who was driving the submarine.
"Shh… stick to the plan…" said Archie, "Open fire!"
Cannons rung out as buildings exploded. People started running away as more explosions occurred. Archie laughed as he continued his battle. Smoke was filled as the boats continued to head straight toward them.
"HA HA HA HA HA! Destroy, Destroy and Destroy!" said Archie.
Back at Ranger HQ…
The lights turned red as the alarm blared. Looking across, the doors opened as Grace, Lamar and Zander walked toward them. The rangers were watching the images of Team Aqua destroying the island that was off the coast of Route 124.
"What's going on?" asked Grace, pondering what was happening.
"Team Aqua is attacking an uninhabited island," said Seb, according to what Urara said.
"They never attacked innocent people…," said Lamar, looking at the screen, shaking his head, "At least… from what we've experienced. They would rather kill innocent people with us there."
"So," said Zander, looking at Seb and the others, "I don't think this is a good idea."
Grace looked over as she walked over to Zander, "What do you mean? Innocent people are going to get hurt!"
"… I have a hunch it's a trap," said Zander, looking at them.
Seb sighed as he looked at the screen, "Well, trap or no trap, those people need our help."
"I know," said Zander, sighing, "I recommend we take caution."
"Agreed," said Lamar.
Seb nodded as he turned around. The rangers walked toward the transporter room, closing the door behind them.
"What about Rachel?" asked Zander.
"Rachel is dealing with Cedric. I'll call her when we return," said Seb, pressing a few buttons. The rangers nodded as they took out their Relic Detectors, "Let's go!"
Activating their Relic Detectors, energy beams surrounded them as they disappeared out of the headquarters.
Meanwhile…
Cedric was silently looking at the cave. As it was raining, he looked at the mouth of the cave as he sat down. He looked at his Detector Morpher, shaking his head as he was looking at the tall trees. He sighed, looking back at everything.
"Hi… do you have the merchandise?" asked the grunt.
Immediately, Cedric walked over as he removed the cage. Removing the cage, there was a ton of Slowpoke, trapped. The grunt grinned as he looked at them. Seb turned around as he looked at the grunt, "The artifact?"
"The Tyrantiar Saber... cleaned up and its all genuine," he said.
Seb nodded as he handed the exchange. Cedric pressed a remote control as the cage of Slowpoke started traveling toward the helicopter. As the cage started going up toward the lobby, he gave the control to the grunt. Seb picked up the Tyranitar Saber as the grunt went to give it to him. Smirking, the grunt took the saber and sliced his hand open. The grunt grinned as he then threw a punch at Seb and then down on the ground. Seb looked up as he was then kicked in the stomach. Seb grabbed on to his left palm, seeing the red line as he looked at the grunt.
"What the-?" asked Seb.
"Did you think I would let you just walk away?" he asked, "Proton gave me orders… to kill you."
Seb turned to Cedric as the others looked at them. Chloe laughed as she withdrew her pistol, "Yeah… and I guess as a relic hunter, I have to do my job."
"Wait! We can talk this out!" said Seb.
"Stay out of our way, rookie," said Cedric, pulling out a weapon.
As the grunt walked away, he pressed a red button on his device. The group turned around as they heard a high-wired pitch. Immediately, the five of them started diving for the edge of the water. Seb and Cedric jumped up as they flew toward the western ocean. Before Chloe, Brent and Nick could get over, the explosions emerged and gunshots rang out.
…
"Come on! We need to burn their village!"
Metallico and Zeramses laughed as they started sending Crobatulas on black Rapidash with green flames, shooting arrows at villages. Cedric turned around as he looked, noticing more Crobatulas slaughtering people.
"What the heck is this?"
He turned around as Zeramses and Metallico stood in front of him.
"Ah, a human!" Zeramses shouted.
"He doesn't look like other people. Either way, we must kill him," said Metallico, raising his saber. As Cedric went to take out a Poké Ball, a red and black aura shot out as Metallico and Zeramses landed on the ground. Cedric turned around as a Pokémon appeared.
"Darkrai," said Cedric.
"Come with me if you want to live," he said.
"I finally got you where I want you," he said, "Now, the last Magiland native will be extinct."
Rachel opened her eyes as she slowly got up from the ground, "Who do you think you are to try to stop me?"
"Diana's avenger!" shouted Rachel, grabbing her saber, "Magical Source, Mystic Force!"
A red light surrounded her as she jumped up from the ground. She stretched out her Mystic Force Saber. Striking down, Incinizard blocked the attack with his shield. With every attack, Incinzard began to parry. As they clashed sabers, Incinizard pushed her away with his shield, slashing her down. Rachel broke free as Incinizard charged his saber. A black and red energy bolt was formed as he struck her down. Rachel screamed as she landed on the ground.
"You are weak… even your friends can't stop me… call them if you wish," he said.
"No way… this is personal," said Rachel, getting up, "And I don't run!"
…
"Galwit Mysto Prifiore Magika!" shouted Grace.
Raising King Excalibur, a yellow beam struck into the clouds. The Mystic Titan Megazord jumped up into the air, following the yellow beam.
Incinizard stood watching the whole process, "HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?"
He released purple beams, trying to break the spell. The spell seemed impenetrable as the Mystic Titan Megazord flew into the clouds.
The Mystic Titan Megazord flew into a Magiland seal. The Mystic Titan Megazord began to charge its energy as the Legendary Pokémon appeared, channeling its energy. A golden aura surrounder King Excalibur.
"Magical Climax!"
"King Excalibur, Legendary Mystic Spell Seal!" shouted the rangers.
The Mystic Titan Megazord charged down to the sky. As it charged down, Virizion and Xerenas flew down to the sky first, followed by Suicune and Zapods. Lastly, Moltres brought up the rear as the Magiland seal appeared.
"STRIKE!"
Incinizard screamed as a golden bolt of energy struck its body. Explosions surrounded him as he split from the Shadow Warlock Megazord. Incinizard spun around as he landed on a few buildings and the Yvetal Zord was badly damaged by the attack.
Cedric shook his head as he looked at the rain. He shook his head as he sat across, "Just because the spell is broken doesn't mean I regret what I've done."
"… And you need to understand that its okay to let things go."
Cedric looked up as he noticed Rachel, who was sitting on the rock next to the entrance. Sitting down, he looked across as Rachel landed on two feet. Rachel looked at her as she turned to him, "What do you want?"
Rachel folded her arms across her chest, "Well, to start off, thank you for saving us."
Cedric grinned, "No problem. It needed to be done."
"However…," said Rachel, "Why didn't you stick around? Is it because you still have a hard time letting go of what you did?"
Cedric looked up as he turned to him, "You can say that."
Rachel turned around as she looked at Cedric. The look on her face was stone cold as she turned to him. Cedric looked at her as she clenched her fists. Cedric could sense the fire in her eyes. Cedric looked at her as he stood up.
"What is your real intention?" asked Cedric.
Rachel looked at him, "If you are that worried about the past… then you leave me no choice."
She stretched out her hand. A yellow aura surrounded her right arm as her Hunter Blade appeared. She aimed her saber at Cedric. Cedric looked up as he looked at the blade.
"Come on, Cedric. Talking it out isn't going to do much," said Rachel. She swung the Hunter Blade as she slashed a rock in two. She turned around as she looked at him. Cedric stumbled back as he looked at her. A red aura surrounded her weapon. Flames surrounded her blade as she looked at Cedric. Cedric looked up as he withdrew his Steel Sniper. Pulling the trigger, blue beams emerged as Rachel blocked them. Cedric charged forward with his blaster. Immediately, Rachel flipped forward as she dodged the attack. Cedric transformed his weapon to the Meta Tector. Blocking each attack, Cedric swung his weapon, releasing a dark type attack. Rachel blocked with her blade, releasing a flame wall to block it. Cedric then charged as he tackled Rachel to the ground. As he went to strike, Rachel jolted her head to the left as the detector missed her face. She looked up as she noticed the detector. She then turned around as Cedric released the weapon as he dropped to his knees.
"I am worried that I would destroy all of you," said Cedric, "I still stand by it."
Rachel shook her head, "No… I don't believe it."
"How can you not believe it?" asked Cedric, "I am such a monster."
Rachel knelt down on her knees as she looked at him, "… You are not a monster. Hades made you a monster. I personally don't care who you are… Reshimé knows and I know that."
Cedric lifted his head up. Rachel stared at him, "Cedric, the past is the past and things have settled between us."
"… How do you know that?" asked Cedric.
"Because if I wanted to destroy you I would. But, deep down inside, it was out of your control. I understand now and I am not going to hold whatever you did personally. If I am the reason why you are scared of joining us, that's understandable. But, I don't have time to deal with things that happened over a year ago. I have bigger problems to fry… like stopping Team Aqua, Team Magma, Team Dracos and now your crazy acquaintances from finding the Crown. I don't want our worlds to be destroyed… and I am sure you would agree," Rachel stated.
Cedric said nothing as Rachel was looking at her morpher. Cedric looked over as they were watching Team Aqua destroy an island apart, "We don't have to worry about a dark demonic crazy creature destroying our planet. We have a mess right now. Are you with me?"
"But-," said Cedric.
"No buts! Are you with me?" asked Rachel.
Stretching her hand out, Cedric looked at her for at least five seconds. Immediately, Cedric grabbed her hand and shook it. Rachel stood up as she turned to her morpher, "We need to head over to that island…"
Immediately, the beeping sounds came from Rachel's morpher. As Rachel answered it, Jack was in the background, "Hey, Rachel… the rangers need you on that island."
"I am on my way," said Rachel, "And I am bringing Cedric along."
"Actually," said Jack, "Have Cedric come to the base. I have something for him."
Rachel turned around as she looked at Cedric. Cedric nodded as he reached for his Relic Detector, "… I am on my way."
A few minutes later…
Children and other Pokémon were tied in chains as Team Aqua surrounded the main village. Archie laughed as he was looking at them. Tears were coming down their cheeks as Archie was laughing, looking at their parents who were tied up, "Yes! Yes! Burn it down!"
"That's enough!"
Archie laughed as he turned around, looking up as he noticed Seb, Lamar and Zander driving through the back end of the village on their Hunter Harleys, slicing the Aqua Grunts across. Grace drove across with her Hunter Blade, slicing the chains as everyone started running away. As the Aqua Grunts were coming to surround her, Grace drove around with the blade, slicing a few of the grunts as they landed on the ground.
Seb and Lamar finished a few of them with their blasters as they landed in the huts. Zander pulled the trigger as blue beams fired from his Hunter Harley, shooting down the Aqua Grunts. The rangers landed on the ground as Obstinate also arrived.
"You have some nerve destroying innocent people!" shouted Seb.
"Ha… well, I'm no longer human… they weak to begin with," said Archie.
"Those Pokémon lived in peace with humans too… you scumbag," said Lamar.
Before Archie could say anything, a flash of yellow light arrived as Rachel appeared. Seb turned around as the others looked at each other.
"It seems you don't know when to quit," said Rachel.
"Let's Poké Battle!" shouted Seb.
The other rangers withdrew their Relic Detectors. As the Relic Detectors spun in their hands, they grabbed it and pressed a button on the device.
"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"
Sliding across, the rangers transformed into their suits.
"Poké Rangers Relic Hunters!"
"Obstinate!" shouted Archie.
Obstinate struck out its tentacles, striking the rangers down. Landing on the ground, Rachel flipped backwards and then up withdrawing her Hunter Saber. Jumping up, she went to slash the creature with her blade, only to get stuck and caught by the tentacles. Immediately, blue beams shot out from Zander's Relic Blaster, breaking Rachel free. Flipping forward, she slashed Obstinate in the stomach. Landing on the ground, Rachel revealed her Thunder Scoopers. Flames surrounded her scoopers with yellow lightning bolts.
"Mystic Fusion: Thunder Scooper, Scared Spark Strike!"
Flames and lightning bolts emerged, slashing the creature. As Obstinate spun around, Seb and the others stepped forward as they looked at each other. Rachel stood in the middle as she reached for her morpher.
"Hunter Armor, engage!"
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 Obstinate.
"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 Obstinate, creating a shockwave.
"Alright!" shouted the rangers.
Suddenly, a electric blue bolt appeared above them, creating an electric wave, destroying the village. As the rangers landed on the ground, they could hear the earth move. Rachel looked up as they noticed the Obstinate Mechanoid.
"Wait…," said Seb, looking at Team Aqua. Archie grinned as he turned around, "Well, seeing that the Ranger Slayers have our Mechanoid… they knew you would come."
"It was a trap," Zander shouted.
"And I had nothing to do with it," said Archie.
"He's right!" Nick shouted from above, "And now we are going to destroy you with the Thunder Cannon. Well, what's left of you."
Archie, Matt and Shelly turned around as they were dashing toward the submarine. The rangers turned around as they noticed the mega sized creature.
"What are we going to do?" asked Grace.
Seb opened his Relic Detector, "Jack, give me some good news."
"It's JT," said JT, "Jack is indisposed. Right now, all I can give you is the auxiliary zords. Your main zords are severely damaged."
"How much power?" asked Seb.
"They can take a few hits but not a lot," said JT, over the intercom.
"Send them," said Seb.
"But…," said Grace.
"Don't 'but' me! We don't have a choice," Seb responded, closing the device.
Meanwhile…
Cedric was walking down the stairs of the zord bay, watching the Beedrill, Abomasnow, Heracross, Gyarados and Aerodactyl zords take off. As he turned to Jack, Jack sat down with him as he looked at Cedric.
"So," said Jack, "I understand that you worry about what you've done."
"Yep," said Cedric, looking at him, "That's why I was surprised I was chosen to join the group. Urara would be the better choice."
"But," said Jack, "With your experience, we can stop the crooks from taking anymore artifacts. Tell me, Cedric, when we get all the jewels for the Crown of Weather, what is your goal?"
Cedric stood there silently. He gulped as he turned around, looking at Jack, "Well, what do the jewels do?"
"They said whoever holds all five jewels of the crown can be granted any wish," said Jack, "As a team, their goal is to regain the Mystic Force powers back. My goal is to revive Rayquaza back… so what is yours?"
"… To destroy the Hades Curse," said Cedric, "The curse of Incinizard is still in me. I want it gone… and everything I destroyed… returned."
Jack nodded as he turned to him, "That's a good wish."
Pressing the green button, Cedric looked in amazement as he saw three new robotic Pokémon sitting in the rafters. A mechanical Steelix, Scizor and Metagross stood out as they were sparkling under the LED lights.
"These three zords were created based off of your Detector Morpher. These zords work well together to detect and destroy. They also combine together to the form the Detector Megazord," said Jack.
"Wow…" Cedric said, "I don't know what to say."
Jack grinned, "Cedric, sometimes a fresh start is all you need. Now, you might want to get going before our friends get sent to the junkyard."
"You got it!" said Cedric. Jack handed over a spare Relic Driver. Grabbing the Relic Driver, he headed into the Metagross Zord.
Jumping into the zord, it was similar to the other zord cockpits. As he placed the Relic Driver on the console. He detached his morpher into the device. Pressing the green button, the main lights turned on. It was a maroon cockpit on the inside with a teal background that had number 11 behind him. Cedric held on to the console.
"Metagross, Scizor… Steelix… move out!" shouted Cedric.
Immediately, the rafters retracted to the wall. The Steelix Zord rose and dove into the water, going underground, the Scizor Zord opened up its wings and shifted out of the zord bay and the Metagross Zord floated toward the exit, leaving the zord bay.
Meanwhile…
"Come on!" Seb shouted as he held on to his console. The other rangers were struggling in the other zords as they tried to fight back in the auxiliary zords, "We have to hold our ground."
The other rangers were hanging on by a thread, trying to keep it together. As sparks ignited with each zord, the Mechnanoid and its monster counterpart kicked two boulder as it knocked into the Beedrill and Aerodactyl Zords. Explosions appeared around the zords as the rangers tried to hold on.
"We need to get out of here, Seb," said Rachel, "I don't see us getting out of this."
"We need to fight back…," said Seb.
"And how do you suppose we do when all weapons are offline?" asked Zander, stuck in the Abomasnow Zord.
"Zander's right, Seb," Lamar responded, pressing buttons in the Heracross Zord, "To be honest, we need to act fast!"
Releasing a blue beam from the Gyarados Zord, the Thunder Cannon aimed for the Gyarados Zord. A blue electric pulse was released from the cannon. The electric pulse hit one of the wires that popped out. As it hit a red and purple explosion surrounded the zord. Grace screamed as explosions surrounded the cockpit.
"Grace, are you okay?" asked Seb.
Grace turned around as she tried to reach for the cockpit, "My zord is disabled. I will not be able to take another hit…"
"According to the analysis… they amplified that cannon. At this rate, our zords won't stand a chance against them," said Zander, looking at Seb. Seb turned around as he looked at his weapons.
Seb looked up at the screen as the Mechanoid held the Thunder Cannon in hand. As the blue aura surrounded it, the Slayers were in the cockpit, targeting the Aerodactyl Zord.
"Say goodbye…," said Nick.
Before he could press the button, the cockpit shook. As the Mechanoid turned around, a metallic tail swung across smacking the Mechanoid to the ground. Obstinate turned around, trying to find it, only for a flash of red light to tackle the creature. As Obstinate landed on the ground, a Metagross was floating toward the creature.
"Cedric… is that you?" asked Seb, looking at the zords.
"Yep!" shouted Cedric.
"Great… he has zords now," said Chloe.
"Well, let's not let him win by any means," said Nick.
As a blue electric blast was released, the Metagross floated upward, dodging the attack. Heading down, the Metagross released a blue ball of psychic energy, piercing the Mechanoid. The Mechanoid stumbled back as the group was hanging in the cockpit. As the Mechanoid turned around, a red beam of energy struck to the left, piercing the right side of the robot. Turning around, the Scizor Zord charged forward as it swung its claw across, smacking the left shoulder of the robot. Stumbling backwards, an iron tail rose from the dirt and turned into a drill, drilling into the Mechanoid. The three hung on as sparks were flying. Looking up, Nick watched as there was a Scizor, Steelix and Metagross.
"Relic Hunter Zord 11: Metagross, Relic Hunter Zord 12: Scizor and Relic Hunter Zord 13: Steelix… meet your enemy," said Cedric.
"Lucky… he gets three zords!" said Zander, looking at the screen, "What's next? They combine into their own Megazord?"
"Emergency Adventure Fusion!" shouted Cedric.
"… Yep," said Zander, sighing.
Sitting in the Metagross cockpit, he reached for his Relic Driver, placing the Detector Morpher in place. Turning the dial, he heard three different clicks… seeing the numbers 11, 12 and 13 glowing in the center of the device. Pressing the green button, the device lit up.
The Steelix Zord split into three parts, the tail, head and body. The Scizor Zord jumped up as Steelix's head covered the Scizor Zord with the body attached to the Scizor's torso and legs, giving some height. The Metagross Zord attached to the back, with the arms coming up and over the Megazord. A blue helmet appeared on top of the Steelix's head.
"Detector Megazord, assembly complete!"
Nick grumbled as he looked at him, "Alright, Cedric… you want to fight? You got one!"
As one tentacle struck out from the robot, the Detector Megazord zipped past it at fast speeds as the claw snapped the tentacle. Explosions and sparks surrounded it as the Mechanoid stumbled back.
"Activate the Thunder Cannon!" shouted Nick.
"Thunder Cannon, charging…," said Brent.
As Brent went to press a few buttons, sparks exploded in the cockpit. Immediately, the Thunder Cannon start slipping out of the arm of the Mechanoid. As it fell to the ground, a blue aura surrounded it, shrinking the cannon.
"No, the cannon!" shouted Nick.
Before the Mechanoid could maneuver, a damaged Heracross Zord flew across, grabbing the Thunder Cannon. Flying away, Lamar grabbed the Thunder Cannon.
"I got it," said Lamar, "Cedric, finish them!"
"You got it…" Cedric replied. Pressing a few buttons, silver, red and blue energy surrounded the Detector Megazord. The blue Metagross claws clamped together as blue beams surrounded it. The Scizor claw opened up, with a red aura surrounding the inside. The Steelix drill started to spin with a silver energy forming around it.
"Detector Megazord, Triple Flash Cannon!"
Three beams of energy were unleashed, combining into one blast of energy. Piercing the Obstinate Mechanoid, the Ranger Slayers were trying to escape as flames and beams fell apart. The Mechanoid fell apart as it exploded into pieces.
"Alright, team!" shouted Seb, "That was excellent!"
"Mission accomplished," said Grace, grinning.
"Great job, Cedric!" Lamar said.
"No problem," Cedric replied.
Later in the afternoon…
The rangers were sitting on the cruise ship as the sun was setting. Bandaged up, they were sitting along the poolside as they were having a few beverages, watching the sunset. There were tiki torches placed along the side of the pool with a DJ playing a few pop hits in the background.
"So…," said Seb, looking at the group, "We have new arsenal at our disposal."
"For once," said Lamar, "Something to destroy those hunters."
Zander grinned as he looked at his blood orange mojito, "So, does that mean the Ranger Slayers are pretty much finished?"
"I hope so," said Grace, "We kind of are on fins and needles now."
Rachel grinned as she turned around, "Well, without Cedric, we probably wouldn't have been able to do anything."
Looking up, they turned around as Urara was walking by them. As she had a silver platter, she placed the platter on the table as she sat down. The rangers were amazed as they were looking at the platter. Seafood galore with lemons diced.
"That is so cool," said Rachel, "I can't wait to eat!"
"Yep!" said Urara, "Cedric paid for it."
The rangers looked up as they turned around. Cedric was walking toward them as he sat down with the group, having a glass of water, "Enjoy."
"Thanks, Cedric. I appreciate it!" said Seb.
As they sat down to eat this amazing feast, the music played louder and other people were hitting the dance floor with Pokémon playing around in the pool area.
Meanwhile, back on the island…
The flames of the zord battle ceased. As the smoke cleared, rubble was lifted as a human hand popped out. Dragging himself out, Nick looked up, turning to the sunset. Half his face was covered in blood as he looked at the sun. As he limped over, he noticed Chloe and Brent, with cuts, bruises and serious injuries. Lifting each other up, he looked at them.
"Cedric…" said Brent, "And we were so close."
"Now, we have to deal with six rangers… but… I guess we're not done yet," said Chloe, "Are we, Nick?"
"Oh no… we're not done yet," said Nick, laughing. His laugh projected loudly, echoing around the area of the wreckage.
