A/N: Here is the next chapter of the season!


A few Wingull were flying up in the air early in the morning, waking up the remainder of the people and anybody who was asleep. The sun was shining down on Sootopolis City, with the moonbeams hitting the Pokémon Center. Sitting out on the balcony, Rachel was reading a book as she heard the ocean waves and the Wingull that were screaming above. She was looking at her Pokémon Badge case as she had since a while ago. She never expected to finish the journey, nor did she expect to get this far. Either way, she was super excited to get this last badge. Looking at the entrance to the suite, Lamar walked over. She grinned as Lamar sat down, looking at her.

"You ready?" asked Lamar.

Rachel turned around as she looked at him, "After a week of training, I hope so."

Lamar nodded slowly as he put his arm around her, "If you weren't here, you would've never gotten to this point."

"I never thought I would even think about doing this," said Rachel, looking at Lamar, "I'm glad though that I was able to continue with you.

Lamar grinned as he kissed her forehead, "You are going to do great. I wonder if its Juan or Wallace today?"

"They alternate?" asked Rachel.

"Yeah. When Steven's out of town, Wallace is the champion and Juan runs the gym. When Steven returns, Wallace runs it. It's an interesting mix to have two champions in the same region," said Lamar.

"I see," said Rachel.

Before they were able to look at the view, Cedric peeked his head outside, "We were looking for you two."

"What's up?" asked Lamar.

"Wallace is here…," said Cedric, "He wanted to see us."

Without saying a word, both Lamar and Rachel got up as they headed inside. A few minutes later, Cedric, Rachel and Lamar headed to the main lobby where the other rangers are. There was light traffic going in and out of the Pokémon Center as other trainers were gearing up and packing. Sitting in an alcove, Seb waved his arm, communicating with others to meet with them. Urara grinned as she turned around, looking at them, "Nervous?"

"Somewhat. But, I thought we would go to the gym to see the opponent," said Rachel, grinning.

Wallace, lifting his white hat while brushing his green hair walked over toward her, "My dear, my colleague and friend, Juan will face you in a match. I would today, but… it all depends on what you guys can do for me."

"Do for you?" asked Lamar.

"Well… specifically, this is more for Seb," said Wallace.

"Me?" asked Seb.

"Well, seeing how adventurous you were in saving Sootopolis for the Scepter Dagger, I wanted to know if you can help me find a new artifact?"

"Will this new artifact be connected to the Crown?" asked Seb, raising an eyebrow, "We have been looking for certain artifacts to find the jewels before the Weather Syndicate gets it."

"I hope so! It's part of Ancient Hoenn," said Wallace.

"Ancient Hoenn?" asked Seb.

Chapter 31: The Sentinel Sword

Outside on one of the islands of Sootopolis, Team Magma was walking toward a secret path. The path was dark with a lush full of trees whistling from side to side. Maxie looked around as he noticed something interesting. He turned around as he looked at a chasm up ahead.

"Hmm…," said Maxie, looking at the map, he noticed a golden symbol that appeared on the wall. Snapping his fingers, one of the Magma Grunts walked over with a torch. The torch illuminated the same golden designs. Nodding, he withdrew his saber. As the Magma Grunt backed away, Maxie cut the symbol in those directions. Within seconds, the chasm exploded. As the smoke cleared, a golden orb was shining from the chasm. Maxie grinned as he looked at it. The golden orb had some edgy symbols on it and it was almost shaped like a flower bulb.

"Isn't it just a bulb though?" asked Courtney, "Like we came all this way for a bulb!"

"Once combined with the Sentinel Saber though, that's when everything will change. We just need to find the saber!" Maxie said.


Meanwhile…

Cedric and Seb went with Wallace on a boat trip to the island. As they parked the boat at the shoreline, Wallace, Cedric and Seb landed on the beach. Walking on the beach, they were following the map Wallace was given to find the answers they were seeking. As they got to the dirt part of the island, Seb stopped walking.

"What's up?" Wallace asked.

Seb turned around, noticing the footprints on the dirt. Seb turned around as he looked at Wallace, "Wallace, these are abnormal footprints and they lead straight ahead."

Wallace turned around as he looked at the map, "Almost in the same direction as the map?"

"Correct," Seb said.

As the three continued walking and following the path of the footprints, they also reached the same chasm. However, this time, the debris was destroyed. Wallace stood in shock as he looked at the pedestal, knowing that the egg was missing.

"The Sentinel Egg is gone," said Wallace, "This is bad!"

"Why?" asked Cedric.

"When the Sentinel Egg combines with the Sentinel Saber, the Sentinel Knight will be born and whoever unlocks it will tell him what to do," said Wallace.

Cedric turned around as he noticed a red scale on the ground. Kneeling to pick it up, he looked at it and turned to Seb, "Seb, this scale is fresh."

"Hmm…,"said Seb, looking at the scale, "Wallace and I are going to continue. Can you see if you can find any clues in the chasm?"

"Certainly," Cedric responded.

The two of them started to head in the same direction, following the map. Cedric turned around as he took out his Meta Tector, scanning for other debris and devices.


A few hours later…

Rachel was standing in the middle of the battlefield at Sootopolis Gym. The gym was pretty beautiful with an ice like sculpture on each corner with a pool in the center. Lamar, Zander, Grace and Urara were sitting there with bated breath, hoping for a wonderful outcome. As she stood across, a man wearing a black t-shirt with purple shorts and black socks appeared. It was covered by a blue jacket and a white tie design. He had black hair with some grey and black eyes. He also had a mustache.

"Alright, are we ready?" he asked.

"I am whenever," said Rachel.

"Great… This will be a three on three match with no time limit," said Juan.

"Agreed…," said Rachel.

"I will start off with… Poliwhirl!" he shouted, releasing a Poké Ball. As the ball opened, Poliwhirl arrived on the scene.

"Sweet," said Rachel, "I am going to bide some time. Absol, come out!"

Releasing her Poké Ball, Absol arrived on stage. Urara turned around as she looked at Grace. Grace shrugged, "Hey, she wants to bide time seeing she only has Manectric in her party… let her do it."

As they were watching the battle happening, Lamar felt a vibration from his left pocket. He reached in to find his Relic Detector glowing. Lamar opened it as he went to pick up, "Yes?"

"Hey, can you guys get here as fast as you can?" asked Max.

"Sadly, Rachel is battling Juan. What is going on?" asked Lamar.

"It looks like Seb and Cedric may into a snag with the artifact," said Max. The others huddled over as Max went to continue, "So, Cedric did some analysis at a destroyed chasm an hour ago. It looks like Team Magma may have stolen the Sentinel Egg, which is compatible with the Sentinel Saber."

"So…," said Grace, looking up to see Absol tackle Poliwhirl, "GET EM RACHEL!"

She then turned around as she looked at Max, "My bad. What does the Sentinel Saber have to do with the egg?"

"It's a Rayquazian Artifact. Both artifacts will revive the Sentinel Knight! The Sentinel Knight will listen to anybody who controls it," said Max, "That's why you all need to get going!"

"Alright," said Lamar, "Hopefully, Rachel will finish soon."

As he hung up, he noticed Absol on top of a fainted Poliwhirl. Juan stood there in surprise as Rachel crossed her arms, "Let's keep going Juan!"

Juan nodded as he grabbed Poliwhirl's Poké Ball from his belt, recalling Poliwhirl. He shook his head as he grabbed another Poké Ball from his belt, "Let's go Crawdaunt!"

Rachel grumbled as she saw Crawdaunt appear on the ground. Crawdaunt's eyes glared at Absol as it stood in its fighting form.

"Crabhammer!" shouted Juan.

"Here… we go," mumbled Rachel, continuing the battle, "Absol, dodge!"

Immediately, Absol jumped up as Crawdaunt's claw slammed into the mat, causing a wave of hydro energy to fill. Rachel grumbled as she turned around, "Use Slash!"

As Absol went to sharpen its claws, Juan grinned as he turned around, "Go underwater!"

Immediately, Crawdaunt jumped into the water as Absol missed. As Absol landed, Absol accidentally missed and fell in the water. Sinking in the water, Juan grinned as he looked at the battlefield.

"Bubblebeam!"

A blast of bubbles shot out as Absol was hit. Absol erupted from the pool, jumping in the air.

"Absol!" shouted Rachel.

"Crabhammer!" shouted Juan.

Immediately, Crawdaunt's claw slammed into Absol's stomach. Absol screamed as it flew to the ground, landing on the mat. Absol's eyes rolled across as Rachel stood there in aghast. Juan grinned as he looked at her, "Give up?"

"Absolutely not," said Rachel, looking at Absol, "You did great!"

"Rachel!" Lamar shouted, waving his hand over. Juan turned around as Rachel looked at her, "Challenger requests 30 seconds."

"Sure," said Juan.

Rachel ran over as Lamar hopped over the wall, heading toward her, "What's up?"

"As soon as your done, we have to head over to the island that Wallace went to. Team Magma is looking for the object that Wallace is looking for," said Lamar.

Rachel groaned, "I really would like to go now but… the 8th badge is at stake."

"I know. Finish this battle. We'll wait. Besides, Cedric is there," said Lamar.

Rachel nodded as she turned around to get her Poké Ball. She stood over as Juan looked over. He seemed confused, "All good?"

"Yeah," said Rachel, "Everything is great! Let's go, Pelliper!"


Meanwhile…

Wallace and Seb stopped walking as they sat down at an open field. Seb was sitting on a log as he was looking at the book. Wallace turned around as he looked at Seb turning the pages. He grinned as he turned around, looking at Seb and then at the book, "So, you are intrigued reading about this?"

"I am," said Seb, looking at Wallace, "Why are you so curious about these artifacts?"

"Well, since 2006, I've been curious about Rayquazian Technology. You see, January 11th was a day I would never forget," he said.

"January 11th, 2006?' asked Seb.

Wallace nodded, "You see between 2003 and 2005, Hoenn was under attack by Team Aqua and Magma over the legendary beasts: Groudon and Kyogre. But, they never mentioned much about Rayquaza and the battles behind it. I got curious about Rayquaza in 2006 when Mariah's seal was broken. An earthquake broke out in the Cave of Origin and that's how the Poké Rangers came to be. So, while that was going on, I did some research and learned that Rayquaza had its own kingdom of the five tribes: Torchic, Mudkip, Poochyena, Pichu and Abra. I learned a lot, specifically when I learned about the Heaven Force Rangers, who were Rayquazian Guardians. When I learned that this artifact was a Rayquazian artifact, I wanted to make sure I claimed it before it got to the wrong hands."

Seb nodded slowly, "It seems you know a lot about Rayquazian Tech."

"I do," said Wallace, "Which reminds me, how did you become a ranger?"

"Well," Seb said, "Before I was a ranger, I was a Pokémon Historian, doing bounty hunter work on the side and then decided to learn about history. What led me to Hoenn was the Hades Underground. I wanted to know more about it so I went to learn more, that got me roped into finding a magic lamp and then I became the Solaris Knight… and then one thing led me to lead my friends to find artifacts. I've learned so much as a leader and the history of each artifact."

"Hmm…so, how did Team Magma become who they are now?" asked Wallace.

Seb took a deep breath as he went to look up, "They touched the Crown. They sold their humanity. Maxie will not stop until he gets what he wants. He's too power hungry. He, Archie… Silva… and now five Ranger Slayers. They will not stop until the crown lands somewhere," said Seb.

Wallace nodded in agreement, "Well, if you can stop a whole underground empire from creating a dark world, you can stop a band of criminals from taking over the world."

"True, very true," said Seb, grinning.


Meanwhile…

"Crawdaunt! Use Night Slash" shouted Juan.

Crawdaunt charged purple energy and released purple energy lines. Pelipper dodged the attacks as he turned around.

"Quick, Mist!" shouted Rachel.

A white fog surrounded Pelipper and Crawdaunt as the battlefield began to cover up. Pelipper swooped around as an electric pulse surrounded it.

"Shock Wave!"

A blast of yellow lightning emerged across the pool. Crawdaunt was hit as it flew across, landing on the ground. Crawdaunt's eyes rolled across as it fell down on its legs.

"Crawdaunt!" shouted Juan.

"Ha! I win!" shouted Rachel, grinning.

"Alright," said Juan, "Now, Whiscash will continue this match!"

"WHISCASH?" asked the rangers.

While Juan was returning Crawdaunt, Rachel began to think quickly. She had no grass types on her. She knew she would have to be creative to fight Whiscash as Juan released it. She gulped as she began to think of another plan.


Meanwhile…

Team Magma reached a new area. As they walked up the hill, they noticed a fork in the road. The road was clear of dirt and debris as Maxie looked at the map. He grinned as he turned around to look at Courtney and Tabitha.

"Here's the plan. I am going to follow the map to find the saber," said Maxie, holding the egg, "Courtney and Tabitha, you will guard the egg. I think it would be easier if I went alone. If anyone unwanted comes, kill them."

"Yes sir!" said Courtney.

"Understood," said Tabitha.

Maxie nodded as he continued to walk away from the group. Maxie had his sword in his hand as he continued to walk on the left side. As he walked with the map, it took him a good half hour to go through the woods. As the woods thickened, he stopped walking, overhearing something. Maxie turned around as he went into a thicket of bushes. Maxie looked up as he split the bushes with his arms, poking his head out to see who was on the other side. He was in shock as he saw Seb and Wallace talking with a map in hand.

"So, if Maxie is looking for the sword, how can he if the language is Rayquazian?" asked Seb.

"Unless he learned to take it," said Wallace.

"But, it's ancient text. Only a select few can read it or even translate it," said Seb.

"I guess then I studied pretty hard," a voice said, popping out of the bush. Seb rolled his eyes as he turned around, seeing Maxie with his blade, "I can translate and I am so excited to grab the Sentinel Saber."

"Then, you must have the egg then," said Seb.

"Yep…," said Maxie, "Step out, Seb. That saber will belong to Team Magma."

Seb withdrew his morpher, "I will not let you use Rayquazian Technology for your own personal gain."

Maxie withdrew his blade, aiming at Seb, "Sebastian, I plan on using the Sentinel Saber to revive Groudon and continue my onslaught!"

"I will not let that happen," said Seb, turning to Wallace. Wallace nodded as he started to run. Maxie went to charge red energy and relinquished it from his blade. Seb released his Relic Detector, "Start Up!"

A red aura surrounded him as he transformed into his suit. Maxie swung his saber as Seb flipped forward, blocking the attack. Seb withdrew his Hunter Saber, cutting and blocking the attack. He then turned around as he went to slice diagonally. Maxie stumbled as he aimed his saber for a lunge. Maxie leapt forward as he cut across. Seb dodged the attack as he went to use his Relic Blaster. Blue beams shot out and then reflected at Seb. Seb yelled as he landed on the ground. Maxie turned around as Seb went to fight back. Maxie stabbed his saber into the ground, releasing an earthquake like attack. Seb yelled as explosions surrounded him. Seb landed on the dirt as a red and ruby energy surrounded Maxie's saber.

"Finale Move! Magma Impulse!"

Creating a vertical motion, flames ignited out as Seb was hit. Explosions surrounded Seb as Seb flew across, landing on the ground. A red aura surrounded Seb as he unmorphed. He had the back of his shirt burnt as red marks appeared on his face. Seb's eyes grew as Maxie went to stab him. Seb held the saber with his hand. Tightening, he noticed blood was coming from his hands. Quickly, Seb used his legs and wrapped around one of Maxie's legs, pushing him off balance. As Maxie landed on the ground, he released another explosion. As the explosion hit, Wallace watched as Seb fell off the ledge, landing on the ground.

"SEB!"


Meanwhile…

The loud explosion carried over into the field where Courtney and Tabitha were. Tabitha turned around as he looked at the smoke.

"I wonder what's going on?" asked Tabitha.

"We should probably go check on that," said Courtney. As she went to march, Tabitha placed his arm out in front.

"No. Maxie asked us to stay and guard the egg," said Tabitha.

"But, what if it was Maxie?" asked Courtney.

Suddenly, sounds of Magma Grunts were crying in pain. Turning around, they noticed Cedric destroying the Magma Grunts. As they appeared in piles, Tabitha and Courtney looked up as Tabitha carried the egg.

"You…," said Tabitha.

"Hand over the egg!" shouted Cedric.

Tabitha withdrew his saber. A red energy surrounded the blade as he swung it, "How about no?"

As the flames struck, Cedric used a shoulder roll to dodge the attack. Getting up, he released his Detector Morpher.

"Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

A silver aura of energy surrounded Cedric as he transformed into his suit. Landing on the ground, Cedric took out his Steel Sniper. Pressing the button, silver beams shot out as Courtney and Tabitha stumbled. Tabitha threw the egg to Courtney as he flipped over to attack. Tabitha aimed his saber at Cedric as he went to aim for him.

"Do it!" shouted Courtney, "Kick his ass, Tabitha!"

Suddenly, a golden aura surrounded the egg as Courtney looked over. She yelped as the egg landed on the ground. Red bolts surrounded the egg as it erupted.

"What the-?" Courtney asked, "I wonder if our heat made it hatch?"

Tabitha turned around as he saw the egg break off. A red aura surrounded the egg as a three headed dragon emerged. It grew ten times bigger. The three headed dragon was a Dragonite, Salamence and Garchomp combination. It had black and red claws with blue and white stripes. Flames ignited as flames surrounded the area. Cedric took cover as he hid underneath a rock quarry, "Max! Please tell me you are seeing this!"


Back at Ranger HQ…

Max turned around as he looked at the dragon. Jack, who was sitting at the table stood there in horror as he saw the dragon.

"What is that?" asked Jack.

"Apparently, the Three Headed Dragon of Rayquaza is alive… but because no one has the saber yet and Courtney and Tabitha kept it mega warm… it hatched on its own," said Max.

"So… without the saber, it pretty much is going to do what it wants," said Cedric.

"Pretty much," said Max, "I'm sending the zords. You are going to have to slay the dragon."

"Wonderful," said Cedric, "What about the rest of the rangers?"

"I'll contact them now," said Max.

Cedric nodded as a silver aura of light appeared next to him. His Relic Driver arrived as he headed toward the three zords. Jumping into the Metagross Zord, he placed his Relic Driver in the cockpit, "Emergency Adventure Fusion!"

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!"


Meanwhile…

"Double Kick!" shouted Rachel.

As Whiscash released another Water Pulse, Torch dodged the attack. The Blaziken's fist began to glow orange as he was kicked twice. As Whiscash flew across, Torch's fists began to glow.

"Sky Uppercut!"

BOOM! Torch slammed Whiscash across with his fist. Whiscash screamed as it landed on the ground. Slamming to the ground, Torch grinned as it landed on the ground. Rachel took a deep breath as Juan grinned, even though he lost. Juan walked over to Whiscash, "Wonderful match..."

As he recalled Whiscash, he walked over toward Rachel. Rachel grinned as she met. Juan reached over as he clapped his hands. Juan's Crawdaunt popped out of his Poké Ball, walking over toward Rachel. Rachel looked over as he opened its claw, revealing the Rain Badge. Rachel got on one knee and picked the badge from the claw. Lamar, Grace, Urara and Zander headed over toward her as they looked at each other.

"I can't believe it," said Rachel.

"You earned it," said Lamar.

Rachel grinned as she turned to Juan. Juan grinned as he shook her hand, "Congratulations for making it this far!"

Rachel nodded as she grinned, looking at the badge, "Thanks for everything!"

Suddenly, a ringtone started buzzing in Juan's pocket. Juan reached for his pocket as he noticed it was from Wallace. At the same time, the Relic Detectors went off. Lamar's eyes grew as both picked up their devices, hearing the same thing.

"I guess you heard," said Juan.

"Yeah," said Lamar, turning to Rachel and then Juan, "It was a great match!"

"Good luck… make sure that sword is safe," he said.

Lamar nodded as he turned to the others, "Let's head out!"

As the team headed out of the Sootopolis Gym, the rangers noticed their Relic Drivers already on the grass. Lamar grabbed his as he noticed their zords were standing over the gym. The rangers used their Scope Shots to reach the cockpit. As Lamar got in with the Relic Driver, the others sat down in their cockpit.

"Alright team. Are we ready?" asked Lamar.

"I'm good to go," Urara responded.

"Let's do it!" Rachel said, looking at the cockpit.

"Standing by," Grace said, looking at the screen.

Zander turned around as he looked at them, "Bro, I am ready to slay some dragons."


Meanwhile…

Wallace was tied up as he was walking with Maxie. Maxie grinned as he grabbed him by the neck, "Keep moving!"

Wallace took a deep breath as he tripped and fell to the ground. Maxie knelt down and grabbed him by the arm. As he guided him, he snarled as he looked at Wallace, "I am going to make you unlock that saber."

"Ha… If you had the egg, it would've been easier. But, no… you caused a three headed dragon to hatch and now its blowing up the island," said Wallace, "You will be lucky if you make it out alive."

"Ha! Now that I don't have to worry about being a human, it won't matter… Between you, Steven and Brendan…" he said.

"Hmm… Brendan was smart to stop you," said Wallace, "He was only 12 when he stopped you."

"Did you expect that I would surrender after he did that? Archie and I did not!" shouted Maxie. He laughed as he turned around, "You see, we waited for the day. At least I did."

Wallace turned around as he looked, "What do you mean?"

"Hmmm… 15 years ago, I was in Solitary Confinement with Archie. We learned about the Poké Rangers and Mariah. We saw that with the amount of evil we saw, anything was possible to revive the Weather Trio to devastate damage. So, I did some research on Rayquazian. I met a prison inmate who taught me how to translate and I was able to connect. When Archie and I escaped prison, I used that knowledge to learn about Rayquaza and the Sky Pillar, the five Poké Coins… everything."

"So, with the Sentinel Saber, what do you plan to do?" asked Wallace.

"Simple. Destroy every Poké Ranger, resurrect Groudon and finish my goal to make the world a desert for all," said Maxie.

Wallace said nothing as they got to the center of the island. As they headed down the white stairs, Wallace noticed a white saber that was connected to a rock. Maxie grinned as he reached over to see the saber. The saber was covered in stone as he looked at it.

"Ah," said Maxie, "Now, watch as I grab it!"

As he went to reach for the saber, golden beams pierced Maxie as he was hit. Explosions surrounded him as Maxie flipped over, landing on the ground. Maxie flew to the ground as he looked at Wallace. Wallace grinned as he turned to him.

"Why…," he said.

Wallace grinned as he walked over, "Your heart is too evil for it."

Maxie turned around as he looked at him. He walked over as he untied him, "Then, you do it."

Wallace nervously walked over as he went to reach the saber. He looked over as Maxie's saber was on his back, "No funny moves."

Wallace gulped as he grabbed his hand on the saber. As he went to pull, golden bolts hit Maxie and Wallace as explosions surrounded them. As they both rolled on the ground, Wallace walked over as Maxie stepped on his foot. Wallace screamed in pain as Maxie went to swing his saber.

"You're useless and dead at this point!" shouted Maxie.

As Wallace went to reach his Pokémon, golden beams shot out from behind, piercing Maxie in the back. Maxie turned around as he noticed Seb. Wallace turned around, seeing him.

Seb had a red piece of cloth on his head with his hands covered in white medical tape. His shirt was ripped across his chest and back with his pants ripped up. His Relic Blaster was in his hand.

"Seb…," said Wallace.

"How are you alive?" asked Maxie.

Seb walked down the stairs slowly as he headed toward Maxie. Maxie grumbled as he looked at him. Seb turned around, "I am not going to let you take the sword."

Maxie looked at him, "Excuse me?"

Seb's eyes glared at Maxie, "I said… I am not going to let you take the sword."

Maxie lunged forward as he went to strike him down. Wallace cringed as he looked at the attack. Maxie was struggling as Seb tried to block the attack. As Seb grabbed the saber, he moved it away from him. Maxie cringed as he tried to fight back. Seb used his elbow and broke the saber in half. Maxie looked over as he saw his saber broken.

"How can an ordinary human…" Maxie started to say, until he noticed something. Seb's eyes began to glow bright gold as his whole body was illuminating. A Solgaleo surrounded him as he charged his Hunter Saber. Seb slashed him in the stomach as Maxie screamed. The sword flew across as he landed on the ground. Seb turned around as he went to grab the sword. Grabbing the Sentinel Sword, he held on as golden energy exploded around him. As more explosions surrounded Seb, Seb lifted the saber up out of the mound. Golden explosions surrounded Maxie and Wallace and part of the island as Seb roared. A golden aura surrounded it as it transformed into a golden blade with a white edge. It also had an emerald attached to it with dragon features.

Maxie looked at him, "You son of a-."

As Seb returned to normal, he looked at Maxie as he stretched the Sentinel Sword, "You've done enough damage."

Maxie grumbled as he looked at him, "I am not going down without a fight! Magma Saber!"

Picking up his saber. A red aura surrounded it as it got thicker. The blade was gold with a red hilt. It had a blue jagged blade around it as he looked at him. Maxie charged forward swinging the blade. Seb ducked underneath as he went to block it. Maxie went to strike. Seb jumped up as he grabbed a branch. He kicked Maxie three times as he landed on the ground. Seb jumped down as he picked up the Sentinel Sword. As Maxie swung his saber, the Sentinel Sword began to charge a golden pulse of energy, breaking the Magma Saber. Maxie turned around as he looked at Seb. Energy surrounded it as Seb raised the saber. The saber swung forward as a golden wave of energy struck down Maxie. Sparks flew as Maxie screamed. Maxie turned around as he started stumbling backwards toward a cliff. Seb walked over as he noticed the spikes on the ground. Maxie grabbed him by the ankle as Seb landed on the ground. Maxie hissed as he went to get up. Seb kicked him once.

"I… have," he said and then kicked Maxie again, "had..."

Maxie looked up as he turned around, "Enough of you!"

Kicking him one final time, Maxie screamed as he fell into the pit. Seb stood up as he looked at Maxie on the ground. Seb walked over as he stumbled to the ground. Wallace walked over as he looked at him, seeing all the wounds.

"Seb, you need medical attention… badly," said Wallace.

"I'll be fine… I got a dragon to slay," Seb responded, breathing heavily.


Meanwhile…

The Sceptile Zord was damaged by the attack as the Relic Hunter Ultrazord went to strike down the dragon. The three headed dragon released three beams of energy, hitting all of them at once. The Detector Megazord was badly damaged.

"Hey…" said Cedric, "Let's combine finishers!"

"Gladly!" shouted Lamar, "Ready when you are!"

"Detector Megazord, Triple Flash Cannon!"

"Relic Hunter Ultrazord, Sky Attack!"

A red and orange blast shot out of the crossbow and three beams of energy were unleashed, combining into one blast of energy. As the energy beam combined, the dragon absorbed the energy.

"How?" asked Cedric.

"Good question," said Zander.

Immediately, the three headed dragon began to channel an energy beam. Red, blue and yellow beams surrounded it as a black ball of energy appeared. Relinquishing the beam, the three headed dragon screamed as the zords were damaged. All the zords split as they landed on the ground. Lamar and the others flew out of their zords, landing on the dirt.

Grace went to crawl from the dirt as she looked at the sky. Walking over to her zord, someone appeared in front of her.

"I'll handle it," he said.

"Seb?" asked Grace, noticing the wounds, "Oh no… I'll…"

Grace then noticed the Sentinel Sword in hand. Grace stopped as Seb jumped up. A golden aura surrounded the saber as Seb used his Scope Shot. The dragon looked up as the rope caught one of them. Seb lifted up as he jumped toward them. As the Garchomp opened its mouth, the blade cut straight through. The dragon screamed as he flew down with the blade. As Seb withdrew the blade, sparks flew across as the creature split in half, exploding in pieces. The other rangers rushed over toward the explosive area.

"Seb!" shouted the rangers.

As they went through the smoke, they noticed a knocked out Seb on the ground. The saber was in his hand. Grace went to grab him from the ground. Seb opened his eyes as he was being lifted, "Whoa, Grace."

"That was so reckless of you," she said.

Seb turned around as he kissed her, "I know, babe. At least Maxie's gone."

"Maxie?" asked Cedric, "Cuz, where did he go?"

"He's in the pit," Seb said, "Ask Wallace!"

The rangers turned around, noticing Wallace who was walking toward them. He had a walking stick to help him. He looked up as he noticed the team, "Yep… Seb fought Maxie for the sword."

"Maxie will hopefully no longer be a threat," said Seb, looking at Grace. Grace looked at the bandages, "Well, let's get you some hydrogen peroxide and well… you know."


Later that afternoon…

As Seb was getting bandaged up in Sootopolis Gym, the rangers were scanning the saber. Wallace and Juan were amazed at what was going on as Zander analyzed it.

"So, that saber was part of Ancient Hoenn?" asked Juan, "I never seen anything like it."

Wallace nodded as he turned around, "Yeah… it was in the history books."

"Hazard Level: 10,000," Rachel said, looking at it, "This was a hefty one."

Urara nodded as she looked at the blade. As she scanned it, she noticed something shiny. Curious, she went to press the golden circle on the sword. As she pressed a green aura surrounded it, Urara noticed her morpher started to shine in a green aura as she looked at it, "What in the world?"

Seb then noticed his Relic Detector shining in a red aura, "What did I do?"

Immediately, the saber began to lift up by itself. The saber split into legs and golden arms popped out of its hilt. A head popped out of the hilt. It's face was emerald with ruby eyes as it landed on the ground. It did a few stretches as it looked at them. It turned to Seb.

"YOU… DISTURBED MY SLUMBER!" he shouted.

Seb gulped as he turned around. Urara turned around as she looked at Seb, "The Scepter Dagger, and then the three headed dragon… and now you pulled me out! Why?"

Seb gulped, "I didn't know that you could talk. Please introduce yourself?"

"I am the Sentinel Knight, Rayquaza's strongest warrior," he said.

A/N: Well, this is the start of the new arc! I can't wait to write more! You will learn a lot about the Ancient Hoenn artifacts in the chapters to come. I am super duper excited to write more about this. What do you think will happen to Maxie? Is he actually dead? Well, you will have to keep reading. How does Urara's Scepter Dagger, the Sentinel Sword... and who knows what else? You will have to spend the rest of your Mondays this summer, figuring that out. Please review!

NOTE: I am actually a week behind but for those that don't know, I had to do some things for work. I was not available to update this. So, eventually there will be a double chapter upload, but its going to stay the course for now. Looking forward to reading some reviews... and I hope you enjoyed this part.
