Welcome To The Latest Chapter Of Lucharanger, Last Episode I Promised Would Be The Calm Before The Storm That Is The Arc This Chapter Kick Starts, Hopefully I Won't Disappoint, Enjoy, I Own Nothing!
"Storm!" Ronnie Anne called. "Sound!" Sid cried. "Metal!" Casey said. "Sand!" Sameer shouted. "Crystal!" Nikki said. "Mind!" Laird shouted. "Solar!" Carl shouted. "Lunar!" Adelaide declared. "Summon, LuchaCannon!" The eight Lucharangers shouted before firing it, and along with the Kamen Riders' Trinity Buster, hitting Kappa Zahab, causing him to explode. "What did we just see?" Orgullo asked the other Pecadiablos as he showed them footage from the previous battle. "Another failure?" Lujuria joked. "I see something! All eight of those Lucharangers are uniting their powers into that cannon!" Pereza stated, much to the other Pecadiablos' surprise. "Exactly! And that's gotten me thinking, what would happen if the seven of us were to unite our powers?" Orgullo said. That made Iracundo, Gloton, Lujuria, Envidia, Cocidia, and Pereza grin wickedly in realization. "Let's head to a nice, open clearing, just in case." Orgullo said. "Right!" The other six said.
Later...
The Pecadiablos were in their natural forms in a clearing. "Alright, so how do we do this?" Iracundo asked. "I think all the Lucharangers do is shout the names of their powers." Cocidia said. "And that's exactly what we're going to do! We'll shout out the names of the deadly sins we represent while shooting out energy beams into the ground! That would allow us to create a new Pecadiablo that will defeat the Lucharangers once and for all!" Orgullo said. "Fine by me!" Iracundo said, right before he shouted "Wrath!" as he shot out a red beam from his right hand into the ground. "Sloth!" Pereza shouted as she shot out a cyan beam from her right hand into the ground. "Greed!" Cocidia shouted as she shot out a yellow beam from her right hand into the ground. "Envy!" Envidia shouted as she shot out a green beam from her right hand into the ground. "Gluttony!" Gloton shouted as he shot out an orange beam from his right hand into the ground. "Lust!" Lujuria shouted as she shot out a blue beam from her right hand into the ground. "Pride!" Orgullo shouted as he shot out a black beam from his right hand into the ground. As the energies coalesced, in town, Jaxondor perked up. "This feeling. What's going on?" She asked as Ronnie Anne slept. "I'd better warn Magnifalcougar about this!" Jaxondor said, phasing through Ronnie Anne's door. Fortunately, Magnifalcougar, as well as Ailuxucara and Lunastura were already out there waiting for her. "You sense it too?" Jaxondor asked, to which the others nodded. "Trisaurus, Batelegong, Regaluco, and Leaquilfin are already on the roof, waiting for us." Ailuxucara said.
"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go meet up with them!" Magnifalcougar said. Up on the roof, the eight Alebrije met up. "So, what's happening right now?" Lunastura asked. "I don't know. I just got this feeling that something big is coming!" Jaxondor said. "Yeah, I'm getting an uneasy feeling, and it's honestly quite scary!" Lunastura said. "*SHUDDER!* Even I'm getting chills from that feeling!" Leaquilfin noted while shivering a little. "The Pecadiablos must be planning something big." Batelegong said. As this was going on, the Pecadiablos were continuing their little spell when several animal sounds could be heard from the spot their beams were colliding. "Yes! It's working!" Orgullo said. Suddenly, a burst of energy knocked the seven back, hard. "Wow! That energy burst certainly really packed a punch!" Said Gloton as he and the other Pecadiablos quickly got up. "But it's worth it!" Orgullo said as they all looked at what they created. "Look at it! It's glorious, it's beautiful, it's-" Orgullo started saying. "The ugliest thing I've ever seen!" Lujuria said, the others nodding in agreement.
"Yeah! I'm seeing a quadruped beast with seven animal heads attached to seven long necks!" Envidia noted in fright. "You may see that, sisters, but I see, the Lucharangers' doom!" Orgullo said, summoning his messenger bat. "Deliver a message to one Jim Sparkletooth." Orgullo said, whispering something into the bat's ear. Afterwards, the messenger bat immediately nodded in agreement before flying off to find Jim Sparkletooth. The next day, Ronnie Anne and Sid were hanging out at Ronnie Anne's apartment, when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Rosa said, walking up to the door and opening it to find "Mama Lupe?!" Rosa said in surprise at seeing her mother and pet parrot, Paco. That caused Ronnie Anne and Sid jump up and meet up with Rosa while the rest of Ronnie Anne's family gathered over to the living room. "Rosa, mi Nina! So good to see you!" Mama Lupe said. "You too! But what are you doing here?" Rosa asked. "What, can't a woman travel all the way to Michigan from Mexico to visit her daughter and her familia?" Mama Lupe joked.
Everyone just stood there in silence. "Well, of course you can! But why didn't you call? I would have picked you up from the airport!" Rosa said. "And given your familia another chance at a 'Mexican Makeover'?" Mama Lupe asked with a chuckle as she hugged everyone inside. "Mama Lupe, this is Sid, she's my best friend." Ronnie Anne introduced. "Hello!" Said Sid. "And she's also...my girlfriend. As in the person I'm currently dating." Ronnie Anne said nervous about how her Bisabuela would react. "Oh, isn't that wonderful!" Mama Lupe said. "As long as she makes you happy, no judgment from me." She said. Then, Mama Lupe took a quick notice of Ronnie Anne and said "Either my eyes are deceiving me or something about your body has changed since my last visit!" Ronnie Anne chuckled and blushed at what she was suggesting. "Yeah, that's kind of a long story." She said.
"The short version is that a new friend of ours named Aya, who's from Africa and currently living in Royal Woods as a part of a foreign exchange student program, gave me, Ronnie Anne, and our friend Nikki a magic potion that allows our breasts to grow to their current size!" Sid explained. "Ah, I see. Well, they look great! You should have seen your Abuela when hers were starting to develop, it wasn't until she was 16 did she-" Mama Lupe said before Rosa cut her off. "Okay, that's enough of that! Why don't you sit down and I'll start making some tamales." Rosa offered. "Ah, that sounds delightful! Just don't let the kids near them with hot sauce!" Mama Lupe said, chuckling at another inside joke. That caused Sid to look at Ronnie Anne and ask "What did she mean by hot sauce?" in confusion. "It's one of those you had to be there things." Ronnie Anne said. "Oh, by the way, I brought a gift for you all." Mama Lupe said, pulling out a large box that was in the hallway. "Whoa! Must be a really big gift if it's in such a large box!" Sid noted.
Mama Lupe opened the box to reveal. "More Alebrije statues." She revealed, catching Jaxondor, Magnifalcougar, and Ailuxucara's attention. The first Alebrije to be brought out of the box was an Amber-colored Spotted Hyena with the wings, hind legs, and feathered collar of a Griffon Vulture and the tail and barbels (whiskers) of an African Sharptooth Catfish as well as spined fins on its front legs. "Cool!" Ronnie Anne said. The next Alebrije statue was a cyan-colored wolverine with the crest, wings, and hind legs of a Harpy Eagle and the tail, dorsal fin, and teeth of a Red-bellied Piranha. The third Alebrije statue resembled an orange-colored African Pangolion with the wings of a Harlequin Beetle and the antennae, pereiopods (ten walking legs used by prawns and other decapod crustaceans) in addition to the pangolion legs, and tail fan of a Giant Tiger Prawn. The fourth one resembled a magnet-colored Aurochs (an extinct relative of modern-day cattle) with the wings of a Rock Pigeon and the tail, dorsal, and head of a Sabertooth Salmon with Aurochs horns on it as well as fins on the front legs. The fifth one was a teal-colored creature that had the body, tail, and webbed feet of a Jamaican Slider (a freshwater turtle), the wings of a Jamaican Mango (a species of Hummingbird), and the head and legs of a Jamaican Coney (a species of rodent native to Jamaica).

The eighth one was a white-colored Polar Bear with the head and wings of a Snowy Owl and the tail of a Narwhal as well as two long Narwhal tusks on the sides of its upper beak. The ninth one was a black-colored Asiatic Black Bear with the head and wings of a Eurasian Eagle Owl and the tail of a Bluespine Unicornfish as well as a Unicornfish horn in the middle of its forehead. The tenth one was a magenta-colored Amazonian giant centipede with the wings and rear pincers of a Common Earwig and the head and antennae of a Bobbit Worm as well as the setae (worm bristles) of a Bobbit Worm on each side of its body and the eyes of an ear wig on its head. The eleventh one was a copper-colored Cheetah with the head, dorsal fin, and tail of a Black Marlin and the wings of a Common Swift as well as the forked tail feathers of a Common Swift attached to end of its tail and cheetah teeth in its mouth. The twelfth one was a brown-colored six-legged Indian Rhinoceros with the head and tail of a Dunkleosteus (a prehistoric carnivorous bony fish) and the wings and horns of a Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle. The thirteenth one was a lavender-colored creature that had the upper torso, head, wings, and tireless of a Wasp Mantidfly, the legs and abdomen of a Spinybacked Orbweaver Spider (scientific name: Gasteracantha cancriformis), and the antennules, antennal scales, eyes, raptorial appendages, and tail fan of a Peacock Mantis Shrimp. The fourteenth one was a lime-colored Walliserops (a trilobite species that possessed a three-pronged "trident" that protrudes from the glabella (forehead)) with the claws and stinging tail of a Pulmonoscorpius (large prehistoric scorpion) and the wings, winglets, and cerci (rear appendages) of a Mazothairos (an extinct insect from the extinct insect order known as Palaeodictyoptera, a group of insects characterized by their distinctive beak-like mouthparts, which featured elongated sharp piercing stylets and possibly had a sucking pump-like organ that they would have used to pierce plant tissues and drink their ey are also known for the pair of winglets on their prothorax in front of their first pair of wings, which gave them the epithet of "six-winged insects"). The fifteenth one was a crimson-colored Red Kangaroo with the wings and eyes of a Meganeura (an extinct relative of modern-day dragonflies), and the tail fan, antennae, and claws of an American Lobster in addition to its kangaroo front limbs. The sixteenth one was a navy-colored Dimetrodon with the head, tail, and webbed feet of a Sarcosuchus (prehistoric crocodile relative) and the wings and crest of a Tapejara (a Pterosaur species). The seventeenth one was an indigo-colored Irish Elk (scientific name: Megaloceros gigas) with the dorsal fin and tail of a Red Lionfish and the wings and crest of an Indian Peacock as well as the feather train of a peacock at the base of its tail and the pectoral fins of a Lionfish on its shoulders. The eighteenth one was a gray-colored Mountain Gorilla with the hind legs of an African Clawed Frog and the crest and wings of a Gray Crested Crane. The nineteenth one was a peach-colored Wooly Mammoth with the wings of a Teratornis (a prehistoric relative of the Turkey Vulture) and the tail of an Odobenotops (a prehistoric relative of the Narwhal) as well as two long Odobenotops tusks underneath its Mammoth tusks. The twentieth one was an apricot-colored Smilodon with the wings, crest, and hind legs of a Haast's Eagle and the tail and dorsal fin of a Megalodon as well as shark fins on its front legs. The twenty-first one was a periwinkle-colored Megatherium (Giant Ground Sloth species) with the wings and ears of an Onychonycteris (a prehistoric bat) and the head, tail and dorsal fin of a Livyatan (a prehistoric relative of the sperm whale). The twenty-third one was a platinum-colored Argentinosaurus with the wings and head of a Quetzalcoatlus (the largest Pterosaur species ever) and the teeth, dorsal fin, and tail of a Temnodontosaurus (the largest Ichthyosaur species ever) as well as Ichthyosaur flippers on its shoulders. The twenty-fourth one was a vermilion-colored Fire Salamander with the dorsal fins and tail of a Coelacanth (a rare fish that that's known as a living fossil) and the wings and crest of a Phoenix (mythical bird of fire known to resurrect itself from its own ashes after burning itself to death). The twenty-fifth one was a clear crystalline seven-headed unicorn with large bird-like wings, a long fish-like tail, and four fin-like paws instead of hooves, with each of its heads having a long snout and a colored gemstone near the front of the horn. The final one was a rainbow-colored creature that looks exactly like Charbaragon, much to Ronnie Anne and Sid's surprise.
"Wow, Mama Lupe, that's a lot of them." Ronnie Anne said, taking pictures to show the other Lucharangers and Alebrije. "Yeah, I worked really hard to create them all, especially since I had a vision that inspired me to make them in the first place!" Mama Lupe explained. "They're all beautiful! I must make an updated painting!" Frida said, rushing over to her studio. After seeing all of the Alebrije statues from a distance, Jaxondor, Magnifalcougar, and Ailuxucara decided to make their presence known, causing Mama Lupe and Paco to jolt up in surprise. "It's okay, Mama Lupe, they're friends of Sid, Carl, and I." Ronnie Anne assured. After she got back to her senses, Mama Lupe said "Wait a minute! You three look just like three of the first eight Alebrije statues that I created and gave to Rosa!" in realization. "Yes, I'm Jaxondor, this is my brother Magnifalcougar, and our friend Ailuxucara, but we've actually gotten used to the nicknames Jax, Magni, and Ailu." Jaxondor said, hopping on Ronnie Anne's shoulders. "Actual Alebrije, I can't believe my eyes!" Mama Lupe said.
"And we're not the only ones! There are five others, whose statues you've created in addition to ours! There's Trisaurus, Batelegong, Regaluco, Leaquilfin, and Ailuxucara's younger sister Lunastura!" Magnifalcougar explained. "I knew I made the right decision to send you those statues!" Mama Lupe said. "You certainly did, because the Pecadiablos have been freed and we are needed here more than anything!" Ailuxucara said, much to the shock and horror of Mama Lupe and Paco. "I think that may have been going a bit far, Ailu." Sid said. "Oops! Sorry, Sid!" Ailuxucara said in apology.
Later, at the Temple...
"Wow, your Great Grandma made a lot of Alebrije." Casey said as they all scrolled through the photos. "Hey, that's of my girlfriend!" Trisaurus said as one of the photos showed the Teal colored Alebrije. "Oh yeah! You mentioned her when Jalissa first came to our school! Conerrapingo was her name, right?" Casey asked. "Yeah, that's her. 1/3 Jamaican Slider, 1/3 Jamaican Mango, and 1/3 Jamaican Coney." Trisaurus said. "I see she also made statues of the wild bunch." Batelegong said. "Wild Bunch?" Sid asked. "Their individual names are Harpygolverine, who's 1/3 Wolverine, 1/3 Harpy Eagle, and 1/3 Red-bellied Piranha, Prawngolequin, who's 1/3 African Pangolion, 1/3 Harlequin Beetle, and 1/3 Giant Tiger Prawn, and Aurastrolumba, who's 1/3 Aurochs, 1/3 Rock Pigeon, and 1/3 Sabertooth Salmon!" Batelegong explained. "And as their nickname suggests, they are crazy wild!" Jaxondor explained. "Hey! I remember now! Jax, you and Ailu mentioned Harpygolverine when you described Becky's personality being like her, right?" Ronnie Anne asked. "Yeah, and the other two are just as bad." Jaxondor said as Axolota noticed something odd going on in the magic well. "Something wrong, Axolota?" Nikki asked in confusion. "I'm not sure." Axolota said as the water in the well exploded in a geyser like fashion.
"Holy Shamoly! What Was That?!" Ronnie Anne asked in worry and confusion. "Nothing good, that's for sure." Mambana said. The Alebrije remembered what they sensed the previous night and decided to speak up. "Um, Ronnie Anne, there's something that we need to tell you!" Jaxondor said nervously. "What is it, Jax?" Ronnie Anne asked, using her water powers to dry off the water that got on her. "We all sensed a terrible presence last night!" Jaxondor answered, much to everyone's shock. "What kind of terrible presence?" Sid asked in worry. "We don't know, but if it's linked to what just happened with Ol' Faithful over there." Ailuxucara said, pointing to the well. "It's trouble." She finished. "That's definitely not good!" Casey said. "We'd better get going." Ronnie Anne said. "Lucha Power!" They all shouted, transforming and hopping into the LuchaKarts, driving off. "What a time for AkaRed to be gone." Mambana said. "You can say that again. Just where is he?" Axolota asked.
Meanwhile, in the world of the Alebrije...
AkaRed and Charbaragon were walking on a snowy mountain, soon reaching a large stone temple. "There! This is where the tribunal is." Charbaragon said. "Thank you, Charbaragon!" AkaRed said. AkaRed entered the temple. "Spirit of the sky, spirit of the land, and spirit of the sea, I beseech you." AkaRed said, kneeling down in front of three statues. The three statues in question were those of humanoid beings, but with different features. The first one was red with eagle-like features and large wings on its back. The second one was yellow with lion-like features and had claws on his hands and feet. Finally, the third one was blue with shark-like features and had a long shark tail. "Well, well, well, what have we here? It's been awhile since someone that's not an Alebrije has come to our temple." The spirit of the land said. "Honored Alebrije tribunal, I bring grave news. The Dark Box has been opened, and the Pecadiablos are free." AkaRed said. That caused all three members of the tribunal to gasp in shock. "I have gathered a group of humans and Alebrije to fight the Pecadiablos, but they are getting stronger. I have reason to believe a time may come where the group I have gathered will need the sacred power I understand you guard in this temple!" AkaRed said.
"Before we say anything, I just want to ask you this; How is it that that the Pecadiablos have been freed in the first place? We were told by Magigo Virtud that the Dark Box was hidden away in a secret underground temple so that nobody of pure heart would be present to touch it!" The spirit of the sky asked. "Unfortunately, powers beyond our control have set in motion the box's opening. Another evil that threatens the Earth named the Animarius Empire broke into the temple and stole the box, and during the kerfuffle involving another group of heroes that fight the Empire, the box was launched away." AkaRed explained. "About a day later, the Dark Box was found by some kids and one of them, named Laird, accidentally touched it, causing the Dark Box to open and allow the Pecadiablos to be freed!" He added, much to the horror of the Alebrije Tribunal. "The humans, including Laird, are doing well, but as I said, a time may come where they need the sacred power." AkaRed said.
Afterwards, the three members of the Alebrije Tribunal decided to discuss to each other. "We will need time to discuss this. Wait outside until we come to a decision." The Spirit of the Sea said. "Understood!" Said AkaRed. "Oh! And before you go outside, I must ask! Who are you and where did you come from? Cause you seem human and, yet, you are something more than that!" The spirit of the land asked. "Ah yes! Where are my manners! My name is AkaRed and I am actually a spirit from another universe that represents the red warriors belonging to a collective group of color-coded Japanese superhero teams known Super Sentai!" AkaRed answered, much to the Alebrije Tribunal's surprise. "Interesting." The Spirit of the sky said as AkaRed left. "You're running a fool's errand, I hope you realize." Charbaragon said, catching AkaRed by surprise. "The tribunal is extremely protective of the power. They wouldn't even let Magigo have it when he asked." Charbaragon explained. "Well I have faith in the Lucharangers that if the time comes, they will have the power." AkaRed said. "Your choice." Charbaragon said.
Back with the Lucharangers...
The heroes drove through the city, stopping their LuchaKarts in an unpopulated area. "This is the place. Just what are the Pecadiablos up to this time?" Ronnie Anne asked. "And what's Jim Sparkletooth and his crew doing here?" Laird asked, noticing the newsman and his crew nearby. That took the rest of the heroes by surprise. "Oh, great. Hey Sparkletooth! What are you doing here?" Ronnie Anne asked as the Lucharangers approached him. "If you must know, we received an anonymous tip saying that something big involving you 8 would go down in this location in about...five minutes." Jim said. "Yeah, this freaky bat flew into our van and spoke, telling us that we wouldn't want to miss what's going on!" One of Jim's cameramen said. "Dang it, Kevin, don't you know what the meaning of 'anonymous' is?" Jim asked in frustration. "Oops! Sorry!" Kevin said in apology. "Why would the Pecadiablos request you be here?" Adelaide asked in confusion. "How am I supposed to know? I hear something involving you weirdos, I snap up to get it!" Jim said, only for Ronnie Anne to grab him by the collar. "Listen here, Sparkletooth, my friends and I don't appreciate the lies you've been spreading about us!" She said. "Yeah, and we..." Sid said, pointing to Ronnie Anne and herself. "...don't appreciate all the bad talk you've been spreading about our relationship!" She declared.
"Yeah! What on Earth is wrong with you?! You are basically behaving like J. Jonah Jameson trying to make Spider-Man look like a bad guy!" Casey said. "We get our powers from guardian spirits, not monsters!" Adelaide said. "Oh, boo-hoo! Do you have any idea how high my ratings have gotten since I set off on this quest to find out who you really are? In fact-" Jim said, reaching for Ronnie Anne's helmet, only for her to grip his wrist, hard. "Come any closer, and I'll put you in a headlock and won't let you go until you lose consciousness." Ronnie Anne said. "Fine." Jim said. "Weak!" A voice said as the Lucharangers turned to see the Animarius Pantheon. "King Draco? Generals Leo, Tyrannus, Kabuto, Aquilis, Megalonis, Ophiucus, and Terriblis? Why are you here?" Ronnie Anne asked. "Same reason as pretty boy over there. Orgullo sent a bat telling us that something was about to go down and we got curious." Aquilis said. "Oh, perfect! Everyone's here!" Orgullo's voice rang out as the Pecadiablos appeared in flashes of their respective elements.
"Okay, Orgullo! Just what sort of plan did you and the other Pecadiablos come up with this time?" Ronnie Anne asked in annoyance. "Straight to the point, aren't you, LuchaPurple?" Orgullo asked with a laugh. "Whatever it is, we'll just stop you like we have been!" Sid declared. "Oh, that's where you're wrong, LuchaBlue. You see, we realized something." Orgullo said as the ground started shaking, much to everyone's confusion. "We kept losing because we attacked on our own, while you keep winning because you work together." Orgullo said. "What's happening?!" Nikki asked while the ground was shaking. "I'll get to that in a minute. You see, once we realized that, a thought came to mind. 'What would happen if we were to unite our powers'?" Orgullo said. "Much like you do whenever you summon that stupid cannon of yours." Iracundo said. "HEY!" The Lucharangers and Alebrije shouted in annoyance. "The Pecadiablos we destroyed with it didn't think it was stupid!" Sid said. "And what is going on with the ground shaking?" She asked as the shaking started getting louder and more intense. "That is what we are talking about. Last night, we decided to perform a spell that would allow us to unite our powers and form the ultimate demon! Behold!" Orgullo said as everyone turned around. "The Pecadra!" Orgullo said.
Then, everyone saw a massive creature bursting out of the ground right in front of them. It was a quadruped beast that had the body, legs and tail of a Leopard, the paws and claws of a Grizzly Bear, two dragon wings on its back, and seven long serpentine necks with seven different animal heads on it. One of the animal heads in question are that of a lion in the middle while other six are those of a Grizzly Bear, a Wolf, a Leopard, a Cobra, a Wild Boar, and a Ground Sloth. Not only that, but the creature has a total of ten dragon-like horns, with the lion head having four horns while the other heads only have one each. The massive beast roared with all seven of it's heads. "Well, we're out!" One of Jim's cameramen said as he and the rest of Jim's crew piled into the van and drove away, leaving him behind. "Hey! Don't leave me!" Jim Sparkletooth shouted in complaint. The Pecadra's Cobra head approached Jim and hissed in his face. "Oh, who am I kidding? Wait for me!" Jim said, running off after the van. "Glorious, isn't it?!" Orgullo asked. "Glorious isn't really the first word that comes to my mind!" Adelaide said, hiding behind Sid in fear as the sky actually started to darken. "This power, it's without a doubt what we sensed last night!" Jaxondor realized. "That's not good!" Ronnie Anne said.
At the Casagrandes' apartment...
Ronnie Anne's family, including Mama Lupe were minding their own business, when the darkness overturned the light. "Hector! Did you forget to pay the electric bill?" Rosa asked. "No! Of course not!" Hector answered. "Uh, Abuela? You might want to take a look at this!" CJ said, directing everyone to the gathering darkness in the sky. "Ay Caramba!" Rosa said in fear.
The Temple...
Mambana and Axolota saw the darkness approaching. "This can't be good." Mambana said, Axolota nodding in agreement.
Royal Woods...
"This is foreboding." Lincoln said as he and the other Kamen Riders saw from the base.
Alebrije World...
Even the sky above the world of the Alebrije was getting dark. "This is a bad omen." AkaRed said. "We will see you now!" The spirit of the land said. "You too, Charbaragon!" The spirit of the sky said. Afterwards, AkaRed and Charbaragon entered the temple and met with the Alebrije Tribunal. Back with the Lucharangers, they were standing in fear at the monster the Pecadiablos had created. "Now, allow us to give a demonstration of the Pecadra's powers! That's why we invited you!" Orgullo told the Animarius Empire. "We have a challenge for you. If you can defeat The Pecadra, then we will surrender to you. But if all of you fail, you will be at our mercy once the Pecadra destroys the Lucharangers!" Orgullo said. The generals looked at each other in confusion while King Draco simply pondered a little in interest. "You seem quite confident in your abilities, demon. But you underestimate us!" King Draco said as Terriblis walked up, carrying his spear. "Don't worry, guys! I've got this!" He said, coating his spear in his poison slime. Then, Terriblis went and threw his spear straight at Pecadra's chest. Only for it to bounce off without a dent.
"Huh? That's not supposed to happen!" Terriblis said in confusion. "But it matters not! Let's see how you handle this!" Terriblis said, summoning a giant wave of his acidic poison. The wave crashed into Pecadra. However, much to Terriblis' shock, the acid didn't even do as much as burn the giant beast. "Huh. Well I'm out of ideas, who's next?" Terriblis asked. "I've got this. Cicadeath, Flygor! I need 50 Giant Neo-Lizardons ASAP!" Kabuto ordered into a walkie talkie. "Coming right up, General Kabuto!" Cicadeath and Flygor answered through the walkie talkie. Suddenly, 50 Giant Neo-Lizardons appeared. "Let's see your mighty beast handle an army this size!" Kabuto said as all seven heads started charging energy beams matching the respective colors of the Pecadiablos. Orgullo simply smirked in smugness. Each head then unleashed it's energy blast, sailing through the army of Neo-Lizardons, vaporizing all 50 of them. General Kabuto looked at the sight of it all in complete shock.
"Enough of this!" King Draco said, pulling out the Shi No Gutai Ka. "Let me handle this!" He said, charging at the Pecadra. "Oh yeah! Go get it, your majesty!" Megalonis cheered in encouragement. Only for the Pecadra to smack King Draco with it's tail so hard, the Animarius King was sent flying all the way back to his throne at the castle. The sight of their king getting defeated made the generals just give up and run for the hills. "Hah! That's right! You'd better run, you cowards!" Iracundo said boastfully. "What do you think, Lucharangers? You got the guts to take on the Pecadra?" Orgullo asked as the Pecadiablos all started laughing maniacally. The Lucharangers looked at each other nervously. "We have no choice! We've never given up before, we can't now!" Ronnie Anne said. "She's right about that, you guys!" Jaxondor added. "I'm right by you, my love." Sid said. The rest of the Lucharangers then nodded their heads in agreement.
"All right, let's do this! Right now, all I can think of doing is a LuchaCannon straight at him!" Ronnie Anne said. "Sounds like a plan!" Sameer said in agreement. "Storm!" Ronnie Anne said. "Sound!" Sid shouted. "Metal!" Casey called "Sand!" Sameer shouted. "Crystal!" Nikki called out. "Mind!" Laird cried. "Solar!" Carl shouted. "Lunar!" Adelaide called. "Summon, LuchaCannon!" The eight said, summoning the LuchaCannon. Pecadra noticed the weapon and roared at it ferociously. "Please! As if that puny little party popper can stand a chance against the Pecadra!" Orgullo said. "Oh Yeah?! We'll just see about that!" Ronnie Anne declared. "Fire!" Ronnie Anne said, pulling the trigger as the Pecadra's heads once again fired their energy beams. Soon, the two different energy waves collided against each other. Unfortunately, The Pecadra's beam actually pushed the Lucharangers' beam back. "Uh Oh!" The Lucharangers and Alebrije said as the Pecadra's beam finally hit the LuchaCannon and caused it to explode, which resulted in the Lucharangers being sent flying.
This got the Pecadiablos to laugh even harder as the Lucharangers all struggled to get up, with their visors cracked and blood pouring down their foreheads. "Dang, not even that was strong enough!" Sid said. "What do we do?" Carl asked. "Here's an idea! Surrender! Because you don't really have much choice! Pecadra, grow!" Orgullo ordered as the massive beast quadrupled in size. "Aw, Tartar Sauce!" Sameer complained as he and the others saw the now kaiju-sized Pecadra, which then roared at them. "Jax, do you guys think you can handle a mecha fight?" Ronnie Anne asked. "We won't be as strong as usual, due to the amount of damage, but right now, we don't really have much choice!" Jaxondor said. "Perhaps I'll use my healing powers to make things easier!" Adelaide suggested. "Here's hoping!" Sid said as Adelaide performed the healing moon technique. "Heal yourselves all you want, Lucharangers! The Pecadra is invincible!" Orgullo said. "Yeah! You're all pretty much without any hope of winning this time!" Iracundo added. "That's never stopped us before! Alebrije Henkei!" Ronnie Anne shouted as they all transformed into their Alebrije mechs. "Alebrije Gattai!" They all shouted. "LuchaKing, awaken!" The first six shouted. "LuchaKaiser, awaken!" Carl and Adelaide said as the two mechs sized up Pecadra.
In the Alebrije World...
"Let me make this clear. We will help these 'Lucharangers' as you call them, on one condition." The spirit of sea said. "What is it?" AkaRed asked. "If the time comes, they must first prove themselves worthy of obtaining the sacred power." The spirit of the land said. "Thank you, I will come back when the time is right and we will prove just how worthy the Lucharangers are." AkaRed said, turning to leave only for the spirit of the sky to snap their fingers, causing beams of light to surround AkaRed and Charbaragon like a cage. "I'm afraid we can't let you leave quite yet." The spirit of the sky said. "Oh dear!" AkaRed said. Back at the fight, LuchaKing and LuchaKaiser slashed the Pecadra with their swords, only for the blades to snap in half. "Dang It! Those were our tails!" Trisaurus said in complaint. The Cobra head unleashed a powerful blast of water at the two mechs, damaging them and sending them flying back. Then, the Bear head let out a fire breath while the Wolf head unleashed a lightning bolt from its mouth, causing the two mechs to get damaged even further.
The Lucharangers all screamed in pain as well. "It can use their elemental powers, too?!" Sid asked in horror. Then, the Ground Sloth blew out a strong gust of wind from its mouth, causing the two mechs to struggle against it. Afterwards, the Leopard head shot out a barrage of plant seeds from it's mouth, similar to the move Bullet Seed from the "Pokemon" franchise, while the Wild Boar head spat out a a barrage of very sharp rocks from its mouth. Finally, the Lion head let out a blast of dark energy from its mouth, causing the two mechs to be damaged to the point being unable to move. "Yes, Pecadra! End them! End the Lucharangers!" Orgullo said. "We're taking too much damage!" Adelaide said as Pecadra charged up it's energy attack. "Ronnie Anne, I'm sorry. But I don't think we can take a hit like this again!" Jaxondor said. "What? Jax, no, don't talk like that!" Ronnie Anne said as Pecadra unleashed it's attack on the heroes. "Goodbye." The Alebrije all said as the beam hit LuchaKing and LuchaKaiser, creating a huge explosion, knocking the Lucharangers out of the mechs and forcibly ending their transformations.
"Yeah! Direct Hit! Yippee Haw!" Gloton shouted in victory. "We did it." Orgullo said, unsure at first. "We actually did it!" He said as the seven started laughing in victory. "Finally! The sweet taste of victory is ours!" Envidia said as Ronnie Anne struggled to get back up, the others having the same problem. "It's...not...over...yet!" Ronnie Anne said. "Lucha Power!" She said, only for nothing to happen. "Lucha Power!" She said again, only to see something that was quite worrying. "Guys! My Lucha Changer's been turned to stone!" Ronnie Anne said in worry. "So has mine!" Sid said, looking at her wrist. "Mine too!" Casey said in equal worry. Sameer, Nikki, Laird, Carl, and Adelaide looked at their wrists to see the same thing, then Adelaide turned to see something truly horrifying. "Guys?" She said, catching everyone's attention. Everyone turned and gasped at what they saw, their Alebrije partners having been shrunk back down and turned to stone as well. "Jax!" Ronnie Anne cried. "Ailu!" Sid said. "Trisaur!" Casey cried. "Batel!" Sameer said. "Luco!" Nikki said. "Quil!" Laird said. "Magni!" Carl said. "Lulu!" Adelaide said in tears. The Pecadiablos saw that and then they all laughed hysterically. "Oh, I'm going to enjoy this! Pecadra, end them!" Orgullo ordered as Pecadra charged for it's energy attack while the Lucharangers looked on in horror, holding their Alebrije partners. "Ronnie Anne, what do we do?" Sid asked. "I don't know." Ronnie Anne said.
