A/N: Welcome to our next adventure! You might want to grab your popcorn. Enjoy!


It was a beautiful day off the coast of the Sky Pillar as the Hunter Battleship was parked next to it. Jack was sitting in the briefing room of the Hunter Battleship, going through the gadgets and gizmos, going through things with his clipboard. He looked up as he turned around, noticing the blueprints.

"Seb, I told you… AND I TOLD YOU," he said, "Always secure the stations before you leave the ship."

He rolled his eyes as he looked at the door's entrance, hearing someone familiar. He looked up as Ray was walking into the briefing room, "This is the briefing room!"

"Wow," another person said, "This looks brighter than the Megaship."

"You think?" another person said.

Jack stood there in shock as he saw two people standing across from him. Ray grinned as he turned around, "Look, who's here!"

There was a woman who stood right across from Jack. She wore a yellow t-shirt with blue jeans and with a white and pink vertical striped shirt. She also had black and pink heels. She had brown hair now down to her shoulders with a yellow band with dark brown eyes. The next person wore a green polo shirt, blue jeans and brown shoes. He also had brown hair that was spiked a little with blue eyes.

"Angela! Darren!" said Jack, "It's been a while!"

Hugging both, Jack grinned as he turned to them, "Why are you in the Battleship?"

"Well, Ray told me he was planning an Space Ranger get together and we were in the area," said Angela, "Tara and Felix will be about a couple of days. They are tied up with something in Unova."

"Ah, the amazing Turbo Rangers that became Space Rangers," said Jack, grinning, "I still read your articles, Darren. Guess you have been watching their adventures."

Darren nodded as he turned to Jack, "Yeah, I was impressed when learning about Team Magma, Team Aqua and Team Dracos being big villains. I actually wanted to interview with them once this whole thing was over."

"Well," said Jack, looking at Darren, "If you stay around, they might be down in a few hours."

"What are they doing right now?" asked Angela.

"Well, they were supposed to get on a cruise ship to Ever Grande, but Max called them into to do a mission…," he said.

"Mission?" asked Angela.

"Well… it's not a mission with the Weather Syndicate. Max had an idea," said Jack, "Would you like to see the bridge?"

"If it's bigger than the Kyogre Megaship," said Darren, looking at Angela, "I might freak out!"

"Well… every bridge is different, dear," Angela responded as Jack got up from his seat. The rangers headed toward the bridge as Angela grinned. She stepped down the stairs as she saw the helm, "Just like the Megaship."

"Well," said Jack, looking at Angela, "Maybe Zander will let you drive. He often drives."


Meanwhile…

The red doors opened to either side of the wall as the rangers headed to Ranger HQ after their latest adventure. Yawning, Lamar walked toward the table as he placed his backpack down. He pulled up a chair, sitting down on the chair as he went to grab a can of soda from it.

"Man, that was an interesting adventure!" said Lamar, sipping his soda, "At least that so-called 'Cosmic Plate' was taken care of."

"True," said Rachel, looking at Lamar, "But, I really liked how they were able to transform from Pokémon into robots. It's almost like our zords, but they were our size and talked!"

"I have to admit," said Zander, grinning, "Ratitrap was pretty cool. He's super funny."

"I enjoyed all of them, actually, Especially Rhynox, who knew someone so large and powerful could be so spiritual and intelligent." said Urara, looking at Zander and the others, pouring a glass of tea, "They definitely were robots in disguise."

"You wanted to pet one of them too, like that metallic Braixen and her Liepard boyfriend." said Grace, looking at her.

Urara narrowed her eyes, "That was before I knew they were a robotic alien species."

"I know," said Grace, grinning, remembering fondly one of the robots, "I thought Cotton-Buns was definitely adorable as a Buneary."

"At least Kabubot sure knows how to be honorable despite his former comrades," Seb said, sighed as he walked toward them. Yawning, he turned around as he was looking at Max. Max was sitting there as he looked over toward him, "Where were you?! It's been two days!"

The rangers froze. Max's comment caused them to process exactly what they heard. Seb turned around as he looked at them, "How long were we gone?"

"Two days… we lost contact with you in the Battleship. Never seen you since," said Max.

Seb sighed as he looked at him, "Well…"

"And what are these robots in disguise?" asked Max, looking at Seb as Cedric turned around to look at them. Cedric grinned as he walked toward Max, "Max, what would you like to drink?"

"Why?" asked Max.

"Well," said Cedric, "You are in for a long story."

Chapter 41: Once a Ranger Part 1

Off in the eastern coast of Hoenn, a huge cave sat in between Slateport City and Pacificdalog Town known as the Sealed Chamber. Inside the Sealed Chamber, there was a secret alcove that the Team Aqua submarine parked at. For Archie, he swam out the sub with his golden case, swimming to the coast. He stepped foot on the ground as he walked toward the center of the cave. He turned around as he saw the monster. The monster was black with golden designs. He had a golden clock in the center with Deoxys like designs,

"Kreoxys… how are you?" Archie asked.

"It feels great to be resurrected from Magiland… using someone as a source," he said, "What can I do?"

"Well," said Archie, opening up the golden case. Kreoxys watched as Archie opened the case. Three black and red eggs were shown, "It's time we bring back some guests."

"Why should you bring back people from the past?" he asked.

"Because… in order for me to get the crown, the Poké Rangers need to be wiped from existence," said Archie, turning to the wall, "I am tired of fighting them. I want that crown to revive Kyogre and continue my onslaught. I need your help to do this."

Kreoxys laughed as he looked at him, "As the last warrior of Hades, it will be my pleasure to use my dark magic to revive them. But, I will need some help. Diana isn't the only catalyst…"

"I understand," said Archie, grinning. He turned around as he went for his black walkie, "Shelly… Matt… destroy Slateport Shipyard. I have an idea."


Meanwhile…

"So… let me get this straight… you were transported to another dimension of our world, became allies with these Maximals robots who are fighting a civil war with another faction of robots called Predacons to protect their world and universe. You met the Alola captains, the daughter of Lusamine, head of Aether Paradise, a boy named Ash, and his Pikachu, while trying to get an artifact that had a hazard level of infinite… with Team Magma, Aqua and Dracos also there, only they were our dimension's since in that dimension Magma and Aqua were disbanded and Dracos never existed?" asked Max, feeling a headache coming along…

"Yeah," said Zander, grinning as he went to take a sip of water, he had spoken a lot during the explanation, "It was really awesome! And there was this big robot that was also there that we had to fight, think his name was Megatron, that sneaky SOB. And at the end we had to… somewhat work together to stop this real psycho robot trying to bring back someone called Unicorn or something…"

The red ranger nodded as he continued to sip a glass of water as well, adding on to Zander's conversation, "But, it all worked out. Too bad we couldn't bring them over to fight with us, but they had their own war to fight. The Maximal leader, Optimus Primal was insistent."

"As we learned though," said Lamar, looking at him, "Unexpected things can happen."

Lamar and Seb turned around as the lights were flickering bright red. The rangers turned to see Shelly, Matt and a flock of Aqua Grunts destroying the shipyard outside Slateport City.

"Slateport Shipyard," said Seb, "Why?"

"It's not like Team Aqua just to do an all out attack," said Cedric.

Urara nodded as she turned to the team, "We need to be on our guard."

Seb nodded slowly as he turned toward the team. The rangers nodded as they dashed toward the transporter room. As the seven of them stood on the teleportation pad, Lamar adjusted his hat as he looked at Seb. Seb turned to Lamar, "What?"

"We're going to fight them looking like this," said Lamar, sighing.

"At least you aren't wearing a bright yellow jacket," said Rachel.

In flashes of energy, the rangers disappeared as they teleported to Slateport Shipyard.


A few buildings exploded along the pier as Shelly and Matt started shooting the whole place. Matt used his harpoon, setting it to full automatic as explosions arrived. Shelly used her other harpoon. Releasing the harpoon, the building exploded. Laughing, both of them continued their onslaught as the Aqua Grunts continued their destruction. Suddenly, red and blue beams shot across as some of them fell. Shelly and Matt turned around as the rangers appeared with their weapons. The Admin burst out in laughter.

"Told you," said Lamar.

"I am glad you are having fun," said Seb.

"Yep… we laughed blowing this place up," said Shelly, "But, that is so ridiculous."

Urara grumbled as she looked at Seb. Seb nodded as he turned to them, "Let's get them something to laugh about. Ready!"

The rangers withdrew their morphers, "Relic Hunters, Start Up!"

The rangers transformed into their suits, striking their poses. Shelly and Matt snapped their fingers. The Aqua Grunts started heading toward the team. Seb nodded as he snapped his fingers. The other rangers went for them.

Seb ducked as a few grunts went toward him. Performing a shoulder roll, he turned around as he grabbed his Relic Blaster. Shooting a few of them down, the Aqua Grunts landed on the pavement. He turned around as he kicked a few of them in the face and then spun around with a hook kick to knock the Aqua Grunt down. He turned around as he transformed his blaster into the Hunter Saber, slashing more of the Aqua Grunts. As they landed on the ground, Seb turned to see more come toward him. A red aura surrounded his body as he took out his Blaze Lance. A golden aura surrounded it as he dashed forward with his lance.

"Blaze Solar Crash!"

Flames and solar energy surrounded him as he destroyed the whole army within seconds. Explosions appeared as Seb split his stance with the Blaze Lance.

Lamar flipped forward as he kicked a few Aqua Grunts heading toward him. As one went toward him, Lamar grabbed the Aqua Grunt and threw him to the ground. Lamar turned around as he took out his Relic Blaster. Pulling the trigger, golden beams struck out as the Aqua Grunts were hit. One was standing as he went to attack. Lamar took out his Doom Hammer as a black aura surrounded him. A blue aura appeared around his weapon as he flipped forward with the hammer.

"Shadow Hydro Slammer!"

A black and blue aura surrounded the Aqua Grunt as he spun around, causing an explosion. Lamar stood up as he spun the hammer around.

Zander kicked a few Aqua Grunts in the face and then punched another one behind him. He turned around as he spun around kicking a few more. He then turned around as he took out his Swamp Blaster. Aiming for the ground, a green aura surrounded it. Pulling the trigger, vines came out as the Aqua Grunts were caught by the vine. A blue aura surrounded Zander as he aimed his weapon, "Hydro Cannon!"

A blast of water emerged as the Aqua Grunts were drenched, drowning in water as they landed on the ground. Zander turned around as explosions appeared.

Next, Rachel was fighting the grunts behind her. She did a few spinning hook kicks repeatedly as they all landed on the ground. Landing on the pavement, Rachel turned around as she jumped up, flipping over a crate. She then jumped up using her whole body, swinging her legs to kick a few of them. She then took out her Thunder Scooper. A yellow aura surrounded her scooper as lightning appeared above. The yellow bolts struck out as the cloud touched it and then red flames came down as the Aqua Grunts were hit. The Aqua Grunts screamed as they were scrambling around. A yellow aura surrounded her Thunder Scooper as she pointed her scoopers to the sky, "Charge Blast!"

A yellow blast of electricity shot out as the clouds shot down tons of yellow and red lightning bolts. Flames occurred as the Aqua Grunts scrambled. She then jumped up as she raised her Thunder Scooper. Flames emerged from her scooper as she twirled around.

"Sacred Burn!"

Slamming the scooper, flames exploded around them as the Aqua Grunts were incinerated.

Grace kicked a few of them off the building. She twirled around as she used the Psychic Cutters. With each cut, a spark of electricity emerged from each body. She turned around as yellow energy was created from her blades, creating an electrical surge. As the Aqua Grunts were stumbling, Grace charged her Psychic Cutters with psychic energy. A pink aura surrounded her as she stretched her daggers, "Psyshock Blast!"

A pinkish-yellowish orb surrounded her blades as it was unleashed, destroying the Aqua Grunts in front of her. She turned around as she looked at the sunset.

Cedric finished a few of the Aqua Grunts with his Meta Tector. Swinging across, he slashed more of them as they were coming. He took one of the crates and smashed it, sending debris at the Aqua Grunts, causing them to get hit by the wooden planks. Cedric jumped off the wall as he jumped into a shadow hole. The Aqua Grunts turned around as they were trying to find him. A silver aura appeared below them as a black hole appeared. The Aqua Grunts yelled as they were trapped in a black hole with Cedric appearing on the ground. Snapping his fingers, the Aqua Grunts disappeared.

Urara turned around, finishing the last couple of grunts. Turning around, Shelly released a harpoon, which had a detonation device. Urara quickly used her Scepter Dagger as a pink aura surrounded her. A gust of wind appeared around her as the harpoon exploded behind her. Shelly looked surprised as Urara flipped forward with her dagger. Slashing Shelly, Shelly screamed as she landed on the ground. Shelly carefully got up as a pink aura surrounded Urara with a green aura from her Scepter Dagger.

"Fairy Leaf Storm!"

A gust of pink and green light surrounded her weapon as Shelly was hit. Shelly flew back as she landed on the ground. As Shelly tried to get up, Matt turned around as he looked toward the seven rangers who showed up. The rangers stretched out their weapons as they aimed at Matt.

"It's over Matt," said Seb, "For treasure hunters, you guys are also terrorists to your own region."

"… Screw you, Seb," said Matt, taking out his harpoon, "We should've killed you when you were powerless."

Suddenly, blue and red bolts struck the ground. The rangers flew across as they landed on the ground. Landing on the pavement, Seb turned around as the smoke started to clear. Looking up, he noticed a humanoid creature that was unfamiliar. Seb turned around as he looked at Cedric. Cedric took a deep breath, "No… I thought he was dead."

"Who is he?" asked Seb.

"Kreoxys… he controls all time in his own dimension as well as can absorb powers beyond belief. He's the ultimate Hades Warrior," said Cedric, "I thought he would've been dead when Master Hades was destroyed. I thought we wouldn't have to face him."

"Ha ha!" said Kreoxys, "I can hear that voice… Cedric… or Incinizard… it's nice to know that you have become a traitor once again. But, I'm not here to reclaim Hades… I'm here to do Archie's work."

"Archie's work?" asked Seb.

The rangers turned around as Archie arrived. He stepped down as he looked at them, "You scamps have fallen for it."

"What do you mean?" asked Rachel, she turned around as she looked at him. Her eyes began to glow as she looked at the others, "Oh no…"

Cedric nodded, "You sense it too?"

"Rachel?" asked Lamar.

"Archie knows we still have some magic left. It can absorb magic power for his own doing," said Rachel.

"Correct," said Kreoxys, "And seeing what you've done… let me demonstrate."

Archie smiled as he walked over toward Matt and Shelly. He put his hands on both his admin as he looked at them, "We should've done this when we first became mutants."

"Magi Magiro!"

Kreoxys transformed into a black and pinkish cannon. Urara stood in response, "No…"

"Hyper Cannon!"

Explosions shot out as the rangers were hit. The rangers yelled as they landed on the ground. Seb turned to Urara, "You never had that much power in your spell!"

"I never used it to obliterate!" shouted Urara.

"Now… let's see if you like this!" said Kreoxys, transforming back to his form. He released a yellow and black crossbow with an opal arrowhead. Grace stood there in response.

"No… he copied my original weapon?" asked Grace.

"Thunder Crossbow!"

As Kreoxys released a yellow bolt of energy, the arrowhead headed straight for the team. Grace quickly stood in front as she took out her Psychic Daggers, creating a barrier. As the pink aura quickly made the barrier, the arrowhead shattered the barrier as an explosion appeared. The team fell down as explosions surrounded them.

"Now… my favorite one…," he said, looking at Rachel. Kreoxys engulfed himself in flames as a Moltres appeared behind him. Rachel turned around as she looked at the others, "Everyone hit the deck!"

"SKY ATTACK!"

Flames emerged out of Kreoxys as he dove straight through. Kreoxys cut through as the rangers were hit hard by the attack. Explosions appeared as energy surrounded them. The rangers began to glow as their suits diminished, landing on the ground. Kreoxys laughed as he looked at Cedric. Cedric picked his head up as he looked at him, "Let's see how much you value your friends!"

He stretched his hand as a golden aura surrounded Seb and the others. The rangers yelled as they were captured. The golden beam took them and threw them into his own capsule. Kreoxys laughed as he turned to Cedric. Cedric stood there angrily as he looked at them.

"Now…," he said, laughing, "I can kill you personally."

As Cedric started stumbling back, he turned around as he looked in horror. Kreoxys revealed a black and red saber with silver blade along it, "Remember this move…"

Cedric gulped as he tried to get up. He tried to activate his morpher, but the morpher had wires already out. Cedric gulped as Kreoxys went for the kill. Before he could, yellow beams shot out as he stumbled back. Cedric turned around as he noticed a different ranger appear above on the crate. Archie turned around as he looked around.

"Who the heck is that?" asked Archie.

A female ranger jumped down as she appeared on the pavement. She wore a yellow suit with a golden stripe that covered her shoulder blades. She had a white stripe across her chest with blue, yellow, red, pink and black squares. She had yellow on top and yellow below the belt. She had white gloves with yellow arms and yellow bottoms with white boots. She had a white belt with a golden rectangle in the middle that had a triangle engraved. She also wore a skirt attached. She had her blue blaster on the left hand side. Her helmet was fitting to look like a Magnezone with an electric symbol that appeared on the screen. In her hands, she had what looked like black handle with a yellow base. A silver and red magnet was sticking out of it.

"You go no further," she said.

"Same!"

A green warrior stood in front of Cedric as he arrived. He wore a green racing suit uniform. He had a silver belt with a white holder that carried a red blaster. He had white boots and white gloves with black rims and there were two yellow squares above the stomach; one square around the neck and one right under it. He had two white stripes across his upper arms. He had two yellow triangles; one on each shoulder. On his left shoulder had the number 3 on it and he had a 'T' on the right shoulder. His helmet was green with a Tyranitar as the visor with headlights and a silver mouthpiece. He carried a cannon that looked like one of the F-1 turbine engines. Except that it was solar powered with black and green stripes.

"I don't know who you are," said Shelly, "But, you have some nerve to come this way! Get out of here!"

She immediately released another harpoon from her attack. As it went towards Cedric, the green ranger aimed his weapon. A solar blast emerged as the harpoon exploded. Shelly turned around as she looked over. Kreoxys went to strike as the yellow ranger went toward him.

"Magnetic Stunner! Charge Beam!"

Yellow electric beams struck out as Kreoxys was hit by the attack. She then took out her blue blaster and combined it with her Magnetic Stunner, "Magnetic Sniper… charge!"

A yellow aura surrounded her weapon as she went to aim, "Sniper Shoot!"

Yellow beams shot out from her attack as explosions surrounded Team Aqua. The green ranger went in as his Solar Cannon began to glow in a green aura.

"Solarbeam!"

A white beam emerged as explosions surrounded them. Shelly and Matt screamed as they landed on the ground. Archie took cover as he landed on the ground with Kreoxys. Archie then turned around as he heard footsteps. Flames emerged as he noticed someone else walking toward them.

"… And you gotta be kidding me," said Archie.

He took out his anchor and swung it across. The red ranger began to glow as it split into two, dodging the attack. As the red ranger came back. His eyes began to glow red as his red saber with a golden blade appeared. An orange flame emerged as the dark clouds formed.

"Kiryoku! Flamethrower!"

Releasing flames from his sword, Archie spun around as he landed on the ground. The red ranger jumped up as he headed toward Keryoxs, who released a wave of water from his attack. The red ranger flipped forward as he struck him with his Torch Sword, "Blaze Strike!"

Keroxys yelled as he landed on the ground. Archie turned around as he picked up Keroxys and turned to Cedric, "Cedric, this isn't the last you have seen us. Retreat!"

In a flash of light, Keroxys and Team Aqua disappeared. Cedric tried to get up, but he was too banged up from the attack. Immediately, the green ranger went over to help him up. Cedric looked over as he turned to him, "I got you…"

"Who… are… you? Jack… I know that's you behind the helmet," said Cedric.

Jack nodded as a red aura surrounded from his suit, transforming out, "All can be explained back at HQ."


Twenty minutes later…

Cedric was bandaged up as he looked at Amy. Amy turned around as she looked at him, "He really beat you."

"Yes, he did," said Cedric, seeing his wrist in a cast, slamming his fist into the table, "And what's worse is he knows all of the Mystic Force spells."

As he turned around, Cedric found the door. Grabbing his grey shirt, he turned around, "Thank you."

Opening the door, he headed to the hall as he opened the elevator. As he put his shirt on, the elevator doors closed. He pressed the button, seeing the elevator lift. As the door opened, he stepped out. He looked over, noticing Jack and two rangers in suits.

"So… it's nice to see all of you again," said Cedric, stretching his hand, "Thanks for your help! I wish I could have been more of assistance. But, once I get my morpher fixed, I should be able to figure this out."

Jack looked at him, "I hate to tell you this, but… you won't be able to do this alone."

Cedric raised his eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

The yellow ranger stepped forward as yellow aura surrounded her suit, as she revealed to be Angela, she looked over as she turned to Cedric, "That monster is highly powerful. With how much energy you have, this monster will be hard to beat alone. It took three of us to make him stumble."

"She's right," the green ranger said, transforming out of his suit, revealing Darren to Cedric, "You are going to need think more strategically."

"But, you guys aren't magicians," said Cedric.

"True, but we have experience," said Angela, stretching her hand, "Angela Keeney, I am the Pink Turbo Ranger and the Yellow Space Ranger."

Cedric shook her hand as he turned to Darren, "Darren Hitchcock, I replaced Jack as the Green Turbo Ranger and I am the Black Space Ranger."

"Welcome… my name is Cedric. I was the Shadow Wizard and I am the Silver Relic Hunter Ranger."

"So… what do we know about this beast, Cedric?" asked Jack.

"It's a lost beast from Hades… it can bring back destruction, absorb magic… and possibly revive past evil if done correctly," said Cedric, looking at the three of them. He then turned around as he looked at the screens. Pressing a few buttons on the table, the rangers saw three black and red eggs.

"What are they?" asked Darren.

"Eggs… but not your typical eggs. Archie was able to clone a lot of golden eggs from when we retrieved the Sentinel Sword, hence why Team Aqua and our other adversaries have gotten powerful," said Cedric, "But, these eggs I noticed are different. When fused with dark magic… they can revive evil from the past. Keroxys is a creature that not also can absorb traits and genetics… it can revive from the past. Knowing Archie, I have a feeling he will find a way to revive certain enemies you probably don't want to see ever again."

Angela turned to Darren, "Well, looking at our track record… yeah."

"Agreed," said Jack, "I fought so many monsters and henchmen… don't want to see them again. So, our best bet is we need to go recruit."

"Recruit?" asked Cedric, "Don't you think this is enough."

Jack turned around as he looked at Cedric, "Cedric, I'm going to need all hands on deck. That means finding rangers that protected our region from before. This isn't just an artifact search. Archie just started a war. And in my time, we don't take prisoners… we fight to the death. We're going to head some place quite familiar."


Within a half hour…

The rangers got out of a white and silver car that was connected from Ranger HQ. As Jack hopped over, Cedric turned around as he noticed the rock formation. Pressing the button, the doors opened. Cedric turned around, seeing the old hideout. A mega sized plasma television screen on the wall with a console. Cedric turned to see the door close behind him. He then turned around to see eight different suits attached to the wall, one being Jack's.

"This was your old base?" asked Cedric.

"Well, partially," said Jack.

"It was ours when we were Turbo Rangers," said Angela, "And then… well, the Riders destroyed the base and we had to rebuild it."

"They didn't just destroy… they raided it," said Darren.

Cedric gulped as he turned to Jack, "So, who do we need?"

Jack pressed a few buttons as the screen turned on. He noticed a red book icon as he clicked on it, he turned around as he flipped pages, "I am going to need someone who will definitely be a powerhouse. He was in Rustboro City."

"Who?" asked Cedric.

"Eddie Barinholtz. He was the Red Johto Ranger when he was sent forward in time, but he was the Gold King Overtech Ranger," said Jack, "I was able to obtain a sample of the crystal to replicate so he can use his powers for at least ten morphs… this is it."

"Why?' asked Cedric.

"Eddie's powers actually came from another planet. He was just borrowing them," said Angela, "But, he was the powerhouse of Overtech Overdrive."


Meanwhile…

Seb opened his eyes. He turned around to notice that things were fuzzy. As he carefully came to his senses, he noticed the other rangers were on the ground. He tried to wake up Grace, Zander and Lamar. Then, he headed over to Urara and Rachel. As the rangers were starting to come around, Grace looked up as she noticed the background. It was a black background with a golden clock.

"Where are we?" asked Grace.

Rachel turned around as she looked, "I think were inside Kreoxys."

"How do you know?" asked Zander.

"I can't make contact with Ranger HQ," said Rachel.

Lamar turned around as he tried to morph, "We can't even connect to the grid."

"This is great," said Urara, turning around, "So, how do we get out?"

"That's what I was trying to figure out my dear friends!"

The rangers turned around as they noticed a shadow figure. As she stepped out into the light, the rangers were taken a back as they saw a familiar face. She wore a white dress as she had her silver tiara. She had her hair tied up in a ponytail as her eyes were gleaming, "Rangers… I wish we didn't meet in a time like this."

"Diana!" Rachel shouted, holding hands, "What's going on?"

"Have a seat rangers… it's time we talk about the ultimate Hades monster," said Diana, "Your job as magicians is not complete."


Meanwhile…

Keroxys and Archie were in a different dimension. Archie looked around as he noticed a blue colosseum as he looked at the monster, "What is this?"

"Welcome to the Duel Bond… the place where magicians and wizards fight to the death," he said, "But, I'm going to use this to power charge."

He placed a black eggs on the floor. Snapping his fingers, red wires popped up and attached the eggs. Keroxys grinned, "We will revive six generals from the past. These eggs are not just one body. It's two…"


Meanwhile…

A man with a clean cut beard was sitting on the deck of his home in Rustboro City. He looked over the city as he was reading a newspaper about what was going on in Johto. Eating his oatmeal and playing his guitar at the same time, he had his black and red sunglasses on with jet black hair. He had a black and red striped muscle shirt with blue jeans. He didn't look like he was a day over 30. He turned around as he heard the doorbell ring. He turned around as he looked at his watch, "Sabrina's not back yet."

He walked toward the living room, seeing the piano in the living room. As he opened the door, he looked to see Jack at his front doorstep.

"BUDDY!" shouted Eddie, hugging Jack.

"Hey Ed," said Jack, "I'm sure you remember these guys?"

Eddie turned around as he noticed Angela and Darren with a grin, "Of course I do… and who is he?"

Cedric walked over as he struck his hand out, "My name is Cedric. I'm the Silver Relic Hunter Ranger."

"Oh," said Eddie, grinning, "I met your friends. They were amazing people."

Cedric nodded as he looked at him, "They are amazing."

Eddie sighed as he looked at Jack, "I am assuming this is not just a normal house call."

Jack sighed as he looked at Eddie, "Yeah… my team has been captured by a mysterious beast that Team Aqua found. Cedric's the last one."

Eddie looked up. His face went from being happy to serious within seconds, "Oh… and let me guess, you want me to help you?"

"Yes," said Jack, revealing a silver crystal. It had some golden energy as Eddie picked it up, "How many morphs is in it?"

"Ten at least…" said Jack, looking at him, "By the time we got to Druidia, Team Aqua would've burned the region down. But, desperate times go for desperate measures."

Eddie nodded as he placed his hand on the crystal. A golden energy surrounded his wrists as two bracelets appeared. One was a black brace with the Overtech Crystal on the left side and on the right was a golden bracelet. Eddie turned around as he walked toward Cedric. Cedric looked up as Eddie punched him in the shoulder, "Don't worry. We'll get your friends back. If Archie messes with one of us, he will deal with all of us."

"Well," said Jack, taking a breather, "We are going to head to Sootopolis next. There is another ranger I want to bring. He will be a great asset to our team."


Meanwhile…

"Keroxys is one of the lost terrors of Hades. He was known as the Forbidden Warrior," said Diana, "The Forbidden Warrior not also had powers of Hades, but powers of the past. He was there for as long as Queen Mariah, I believe, was. She used him to destroy Hoenn 10,000 years ago. He mysteriously disappeared into the underworld and was one of the founders of Hades with Master Hades. Magiland was hoping that he wouldn't come. But, a week ago, he showed up in Magiland and captured me. He used my magic to teleport here and he ran into Archie… he lured into this trap."

"So… why everybody but Cedric," said Seb, turning to Diana.

"Because Cedric was Incinizard and met him before. He wanted to kill him personally," said Diana.

Rachel took a deep breath, "Well, I am sure Cedric is alive and he and Jack will save us! There's how many ranger teams out there?"

"Plenty," said Lamar, "We have time."

"Not really. When someone enters Keroxys, they have a week to get out or they are stuck in this dimension forever. I have been here for almost a week. This dimension will close in six hours if we don't do something soon."

The rangers turned around as they noticed the clock. Seb took a deep breath as he looked at it, "Great."

"There is an exit," said Diana, looking at the clock, "But, it's so small, it would require someone small."

Seb nodded as he turned around. Diana picked up a blue lamp device. Seb looked at Diana as he walked over, "Wait is that…"

"Yes…," said Diana, "Percy, however, is tired… we tried."

Seb nodded as he looked at Diana, "Allow me… I'll wake him up."


Back in Sootopolis City…

"Good job, Turner!" shouted Juan.

Turner grinned as he was petting his Milotic. Turner turned around as he was dressed in a white and blue plaid shirt with khaki shorts and blue and black flip-flops. He also had blue sunglasses on his forehead with a dark skin complexion. His shoulder length black hair was tied in a ponytail.

"Yes, Milotic needed some TLC," said Turner, "He should be able to more water acts now."

"Good," said Juan, grinning.

Suddenly, both felt an earthquake. Juan turned around as he looked at Turner. Turner had no idea what was going on until he saw a flood of Aqua Grunts arrive at his gym. Matt and Shelly arrived as he looked at them, "We are here to destroy the place… and get the artifact we need for Keroxys."

"If you mean the Red Orb and the Blue Orb, you have lost your mind," said Juan, turning to Turner, "Show him, my student!"

"Student?" asked Matt.

Turner stretched out his hand. A blue aura surrounded it as a golden blade shaped like a samurai sword appeared in his hand. He placed a black disk attached to it. Shelly turned around as she released a harpoon attack. Turner sliced it down as the harpoon exploded in the pool. Milotic quickly jumped out of the pool as the earthquake appeared. Whiscash and Luvdisc appeared, angrily as Matt laughed, "Oh look a Water Pokémon party!"

"Stand back, Pokémon," said Turner. He took out a red phone, changing it into a marker he stretched it out as he created different symbols. Swiping left, a blue tidal wave emerged as Matt and Shelly were hit. Matt and Shelly were flushed out as Turner dashed over toward the exit. Matt and Shelly looked over as they went to strike.

"Who the hell are you?" he asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" asked Turner, "I defeated the Fallen… I am a Samurai you know."

"Aqua Grunts!" shouted Matt.

Before Turner could strike, a pink gusty storm appeared. Turner turned around as another warrior appeared. She turned around as she had blue sparkly hair tied in a ponytail. She wore a pink dress with white clouds and red high-heels. Her eyes were rose colored as she landed. Matt and Shelly turned around as they looked at her.

"Oh great…," said Shelly.

"You dare bring the Rayquazians into this?" she asked, "You will not survive!"

She took out a card from her pocket. In a flash of white light, a pink tornado appeared as she put it in a Golden Poké Ball, "Fairy Wind, Invoke!"

Release, Skyick Power!

A pink blast of wind pushed Matt and Shelly down as she turned around, "Give up?"

Immediately, Archie arrived as he pushed her to the ground. Turner turned around to pick her up as Archie landed on the ground.

"So… it looks like we have new people to deal with," he said, grinning, "But, it's too late."

He laughed as he showed the Blue Orb and Red Orb, "We're going to use for our master plan."

"Reviving Kyogre and Groudon again?" asked Turner.

"Nope… that's not our thing… that's what the Crown of Weather is for. However, we plan on doing something powerful!" Archie said.

Turner swung his saber around as the warrior stood back to back, "I'm guessing you're a Poké Ranger too?"

"Yep," she said, "The name's Aria."

"Turner, pleasure to meet you," said Turner.

Immediately, Aria pulled open the Poké Ball morpher as she released a pink card with a ranger costume, "Morph Card, Invoke!"

Turner took out his red morpher and turned it into a marker, "Let's Samuraize!"

Creating the water kanji (水)on his morpher, he swiped left as a blue aura surrounded him. Aria rotated her hands as the Poké Ball closed.

Change, Heaven Force!

Immediately, a pink aura began to surround Aria as a Rayquaza sprouted from her body. She then began to shine as her battle suit materialized. She wore a pink suit, which covered her upper body and white pants. She had black and gold wrist gauntlets. She also had black and gold boot rim-like covers. She had white gloves and pink boots. A golden belt appeared around her waist with a golden Rayquaza as the belt buckle. She also had a white skirt with pink trim. On her right side was a black blaster with a golden handle and on the left side was her morpher. The torso had a pair of golden wings with a line going down the middle. Her helmet resembled a Togekiss with a golden Rayquazian emblem on top.

A blue aura surrounded Turner as his suit appeared. He had shiny blue armor on his chest that went to his arms. He had black armor down toward his feet. The black lines with white surrounding them connected on the blue armor, to make it look like he was wearing a samurai robe. He wore a golden belt with a circle on the front. On his left was a golden samurai symbol on the chest. He had a sword in his hand. It had a golden hilt with a silver blade. On the golden hilt was a black disk attached to it. His helmet resembled a Kingdra's head.

"Blue Samurai Ranger, ready!"

"The Skyick Power of Sound, Pink Heaven Force Ranger!"

"MORE RANGERS?" she asked.

"Aria! Turner!"

The two rangers turned around as the other rangers, arrived morphed. Eddie had a golden axe that was clenched in his hand. He wore a golden shield around the back and chest. He had white gloves and boots with golden rims. He also wore a golden helmet that looked like a Groudon shape with three lines and a huge line down the middle as the visor.

"Let's get this party started," said Jack.


Meanwhile….

Back in the Duel Bond, a blue and black aura surrounded one of the eggs. As the egg began to erupt, a red and green aura shot out as they materialized. One was a human-like Mightyena appeared with Fearow beak and wings. He stretched out his biker vest and wore black leather pants. He wore nice shoes and had huge chains as his belt, and a black hat. He also had cybernetic parts as he was smoking a cigarette. The other villain was wrapped up in silver mummy tape. He had a silver head with black spiky hair. His eyes were dark blue. He wore a black cloak over himself blue lightning bolts on the back of his cape. He also wore a golden sash around his body. He also had a blue and black fan with golden and black stripes.

"Ah, it's great to be back," the mummy said, "And who are you…"

"You don't know me?" the biker asked, "I'm Cyber Mightarow… second in command of the Reckless Riders. You?"

"High Priest Zeramses of Hades… it's so nice to be back," he said, looking at him, "Apparently we have a job to do."

"I guess we do," he said, grinning.

Cyber Mightarow and Zeramses walked out of the Duel Bond, heading straight toward the exit.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Also need to make an announcement below:


Hey all,

So, with Poké Rangers Sinnoh right around the corner, I need your help. In the past, to make it fun, I asked reviewers to create ranger submissions. If I had my core team, I used the rest as guest stars. I would like to keep that tradition, so please fill out the Google Form if you want to submit a character. If you are interested, please scroll down to my profile page, copy/paste the link in the browser and fill it out. Here's what I need:

Ranger Submissions: Core Needs- Pink, Green, Red, Gold… (I only have 1 submission for Pink and Red)

We DO need Auxiliary Rangers: Aqua, Grey, Silver and Violet

We also have monster submissions that need to be done. But, that can be done overtime. I do need our core team though. If you already submitted one, you can submit as many as you like. We only have 10 responses thus far from both our discord and fanfiction. Ranger Submissions close at the end of the month… or when a team is selected.
