Welcome To The Latest Chapter Of Alebrije Sentai Lucharanger! This Chapter Will Kick Start An Arc That May Seem Odd To Be Starting This Late, Especially Since We Already Have A Combined Mecha, But Hey, What Are You Going To Do? Anyway, I Hope You Enjoy! I Own Nothing!
Out in a grassy field, we see Orgullo, Iracundo, Lujuria, Gloton, Envidia, Cocidia, and Pereza out there while waiting for someone. "Where are those people?!" Iracundo asked angrily. "More importantly, who are those people? The tip we got didn't really say much." Lujuria said. "Yeah! It's really weird and suspicious!" Envidia noted. "Thank you, we pride ourselves on our mysterious ways." A voice said as the Great Leader of Shocker, as well as his remaining Kaijin appeared from the bushes. "So, you must be the one that sent that tip!" Orgullo surmised. "Yes, I am the Great Leader of an organization called 'Shocker'." The Great Leader said. "And these, are my associates." He introduced. "I'm Deathstinger, the Deathstalker Scorpion Kaijin!" Deathstalker announced. "I'm Queen Hornet, the Asian Giant Hornet Kaijin!" Queen Hornet announced. "I'm Hirudom, the Leech Kaijin!" Hirudom announced. "I'm Scolopendron, the Amazonian Giant Centipede Kaijin!" Scolopendron announced. "I'm Nepenthesa, the Attenborough's Pitcher Plant Kaijin!" Nepenthesa announced. "I'm Saguaron, the Saguaro Cactus Kaijin!" Saguaron announced. "I'm Amanitake, the Death Cap Mushroom Kaijin!" Amanitake announced. "I'm Austrukani, the Fiddler Crab Kaijin!" Austrukani announced. "I'm Malokurage, the Irukandji Jellyfish Kaijin!" Malokurage announced. "And I'm Macrokame, the Alligator Snapping Turtle Kaijin!" Macrokame announced.
"We have come here from another world to conquer this!" The Great Leader said. "I hate to break it to you all, but we're here first and we don't need anymore competition for world domination, especially since we already got the Animarius Empire to deal with!" Orgullo informed in annoyance. "Oh, I know. Which is why I'd like to propose an alliance. If our two sides work together, we can destroy all of our enemies, and settle the rest later." The Great Leader said. "Really? How do we know if we can trust you?" Pereza asked in suspicion. "I think I'll start by lending two of my associates over to you demons! Specifically, they would be Nepenthesa and Saguaron!" The Great Leader said as he pointed at Nepenthesa and Saguaron. "Yes, Great Leader!" Nepenthesa and Saguaron declared. "Plant-themed monsters? Now that's my kind of style!" Lujuria said in delight. "Interesting. But just to be on the safe side, they will work with some of our soldiers." Orgullo said. "Fortunately, since those two over there are plant-themed monsters, I have some soldiers of my own that are also plant-themed! In their case, they are based on mythical plant-like humanoids!" Lujuria stated.
"Alraunela! Leshire! Arise!" Lujuria called out. That's when a portal made from a circular plant structure came out from the ground and allowed two humanoid plant-themed humanoids to appear out of it. The first one was a female plant-like humanoid with Mandrake leaves and flowers on top of her head instead of hair, long plant tendrils and bat-like wings sprouting from her back, a bikini top made of large leaves that covered her large chest, and vines wrapped around her humanoid arms while her lower body has eight spider leg-shaped roots instead of humanoid legs and she had large flower petals surrounding her waist to form a skirt. The second one was a male humanoid that resembled a tall muscular man with goat-like hind legs and hooves, a goat-like tail, and long goat-like horns on his head that were covered in tree branches as well having pale white skin, cheeks in the shade of blue, bird-like wings on his back with feathers made of leaves, and bright green eyes while his hair and beard were made of living grass and vines and he was wearing a red scarf around his neck and carrying a huge wooden club in his hands. "Yes, Mistress Lujuria?" The two asked.
The Next Day...
The Lucharangers and their Alebrije were at the temple, as AkaRed had called them. *Yawn* "So you guys have no idea why AkaRed had called us so early?" Ronnie Anne asked Mambana and Axolota. "Unfortunately, we don't!" Mambana answered. "Just that it has something to do with that 'special project' he's been working on. Kai is the only one that knows anything about it, and that's only because he walked in on it while AkaRed was working on it, but I guess he said he wouldn't say anything about it, because he's not talking." Axolota said. "Speaking of Kaicerapteryx, last time I saw him, he was modeling for Tia Frida's artwork and I think that she just made an Alebrije statue that looks like him!" Ronnie Anne noted. "Ah, good. You're all here." AkaRed said, walking out, carrying a large box. "Okay, AkaRed, what's the big idea about waking us up so early in the morning?!" Sid asked in irritation. "Yeah! Some of us need our beauty sleep!" Nikki complained. "Clearly not you." Sameer told his girlfriend.
"Please, Sameer. It's too early." Nikki said. "Anyway, what is it you want to tell us about?" Casey asked. "Has it something to do with that 'special project' you've been working on?" Laird asked. "Indeed it does." AkaRed said, setting the box on a table. "It has come to my attention that the Pecadiablos are getting stronger." AkaRed said. "Duh, we've been through this! That's why we have the Sacred Power!" Carl said. "Yes, but their may come a time where not even the eight of you, even with that power may not be enough." AkaRed said. That caused the Lucharangers and Alebrije to gasp in shock. "That is why, after witnessing that shockwave expose Aya to that mysterious light, as well as hearing that there are more humans who have been exposed to it, I have created, these!" AkaRed said, opening the box. It had revealed 27 Lucha Changers, with each one having a different color and a different symbol to go that color.
"Brand new Lucha Changers?!" Carl asked in astonishment. "Does that mean what I think it means?!" Adelaide asked in astonishment. "Indeed. I have figured out that, including Aya, 27 people were exposed to the light. And each of those people, along with an Alebrije have the potential to become a Lucharanger. Although these changers don't have all the powers yours give you, such as a lack of compatibility with the Sentai Keys and the Sacred Power, they should come in handy. All we need to do is find the people that were exposed to the light, and their corresponding Alebrije, and bam! A new enemy for the Pecadiablos." AkaRed said. He then pulled out one of the new Lucha Changers, which was turquoise-colored and had the symbol for friction, which was the Greek letter Mu (μ). "For example, this Lucha Changer, the which I've recently built after I built the first 26 and after when Kaicerapteryx accidentally walked in, is turquoise and corresponds with Kaicerapteryx's element, which is Friction!" AkaRed said.
"And this one, which I believe would be well suited for Aya." AkaRed said, pulling out an Amber colored Lucha Changer with a Sunsum, the Adrinka symbol for the soul or human spirit. "Represents the element of spirit." AkaRed explained. "That's Vularena's element!" Lunastura said. "Yeah, too bad she had to go to Africa for the weekend. Apparently, it's her sister's birthday, so her dad took her, Denkyem, Mpatapo, and Duafe to visit her and her mother's graves." Ronnie Anne said. "Yeah, and last time I checked, Andros and Phixia decided to come along with them in disguise, so that they be there for them and also so that they would introduce themselves to Duafe and Mpatapo's parents!" Sid noted. "And this one." AkaRed said, pulling out a Vermillion colored Lucha Changer with the Transmutation Circle from the Fullmetal Alchemist series. "Corresponds to the element of Alchemy." He explained. "Know any Alebrije with that element?" Ronnie Anne asked. "There is one." Jaxondor admitted. "Her name is Phoelacandra! She's 1/3 Fire Salamander, 1/3 Phoenix, and 1/3 Coelacanth!" Ailuxucara explained. "What's a Coelacanth?" Carl asked in confusion.
"A large bony, marine fish with a three lobed tail fin and fleshy pectoral fins, thought to be related to the ancestors of land vertebrates, and was known only from fossils until one was found alive in 1938." Sid said, looking it up on her phone. "Because of that, the Coelacanth is considered a living fossil!" She added. "As well as the most famous example of what's known as a 'Lazarus Species'. A species of animal once thought to be extinct." She added. "Now that you've mentioned it, there were actually two Coelacanth-themed monsters fought by two different Super Sentai Teams! One was Coela Monger, who fought against the Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan, while the other was Coelacanth Mozoo, who fought against the Dai Sentai Goggle V!" AkaRed noted as he summoned up two images of the aforementioned monsters. However, when Lunastura took notice of Coela Monger's appearance, specifically his head, she became very ticked off. "Okay, aside from the sharp teeth, Coelacanth Mozoo definitely fits the Coelacanth motif! Coela Monger, on the other hand, DOESN'T LOOK LIKE AN ACTUAL COELACANTH! SERIOUSLY, HIS HEAD LOOKS MORE LIKE THAT OF A DUNKLEOSTEUS THAN AN ACTUAL COELACANTH!" Lunastura yelled in complaint.
"Hey, don't blame me, blame the Machine Empire Black Magma. Oh wait, you can't." AkaRed said. "So, we have one confirmed, but who are the others?" Ronnie Anne asked. "That's for you to figure out. I obviously know, but where's the fun in just telling you?" AkaRed said. "Speaking of Dunkleosteus, we have a friend of ours who partially has that motif! His name in Kabutocerosteus and he's 1/3 Indian Rhinoceros, 1/3 Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle, and, of course, 1/3 Dunkleosteus! Also, his color is Bronze and his element is Strength!" Batelegong informed. "Oh, I believe this one would fit him." AkaRed said, holding up a Bronze colored Lucha Changer with a fist symbol resembling the Fightinium Z symbol on it. Ronnie Anne then checked her phone. "We'd better get to school." She reminded everyone. "Yeah, good call, Ronnie Anne! We don't want to be late!" Sid added. "Thanks for this information, AkaRed!" Ronnie Anne said as they all left. "Have a nice day! And who knows, maybe you'll find someone we're looking for!" AkaRed said with a knowing smirk underneath his helmet.
Later, at Cesar Chavez...
"Maybe we'll find someone we're looking for? How are we supposed to do that?! Aya's the only person with abilities like that and she's halfway across the globe!" Sid said. "It won't be easy, Sid. That's for sure." Ronnie Anne said as Trisaurus perked up. "Something up, Trisaur?" Casey asked. "This feeling, I haven't felt it since I last saw-" Trisaurus said. "Trisaurus?" A familiar voice said as everyone turned to see Jalissa with Conerapingo on her shoulders. "Conerrapingo?!" Trisaurus asked in surprise. "Trisaurus!" Conerrapingo said in delight, jumping off Jalissa's shoulders and pouncing on him. "She's been following me for days." Jalissa explained when they looked to her. "Apparently, she said that felt that my presence somehow aligned with her and she was drawn towards me!" She added. "And I thought that shockwave was weird." She said, making the Lucharangers cast knowing looks at each other. "Trisaurus, I'm so happy to see you! I thought you were gone forever!" Conerrapingo said with tears in her eyes. "It's okay, Conerrapingo, I'm right here." Trisaurus said, wrapping his wings and tail around her.
That's when Casey remembered that he didn't tell Conerrapingo the whole truth when he first met her and realized that she must overheard the conversation the Lucharangers had with the Alebrije Tribunal. Upon realizing that, he gulped nervously. "Sorry about that, Coney." He said. "Sorry about what?" Conerrapingo asked after turning her attention to Casey. "About not telling you the truth about what actually happened to Trisaurus and the others! I only did that, because I wasn't sure how you would take it!" Casey answered. "The Wild Group and I heard everything from outside the temple." Conerrapingo said. That caused Casey and the other Lucharangers to gulp in fright. "But it's alright. I'm just glad my beloved is safe." Conerrapingo said. "*SIGH!* That's a relief! I honestly honestly thought that you would get mad at me or something!" Casey said in relief. "I was more upset than anything, really." Conerrapingo said. "So, Coney, have you seen any other Alebrije around?" Ronnie Anne asked. "I sensed Harpygolverine, Prawngolequin, and Aurastrolumba over in the place you call the 'Gym'." Conerrapingo said.
"Now, why would they be there of all places?" Adelaide asked in confusion. "Who cares?! If the Wild Group is there, I'm going!" Magnifalcougar said, flying over. "Hey! Wait for us!" Carl said as he and the others, including Jalissa and Conerrapingo, followed Magnifalcougar all the way to the gym. When they arrived at the gym, they saw Dodge throwing dodgeballs at targets with Becky cheering her on and Ricky just watching. "Okay, the only people I see here are Dodge, Becky, and Ricky!" Sameer noted. "But they're up there!" Magnifalcougar said, looking up to the rafters to see the Wild Group. That's when everyone looked up as well and finally noticed the Wild Bunch. "I'm headed up there!" Magnifalcougar said, flying up. "Yo! Harpygolverine, Prawngolequin, Aurastrolumba!" Magnifalcougar said, catching their attention. "Magnifalcougar?" The Wild Bunch asked in delightful surprise. "What are you doing up here?" Harpygolverine asked. "My friends and I heard you guys were here." Magnifalcougar said, pointing to the Lucharangers who were talking to Becky, Dodge, and Ricky.
"We've been following those three humans since we first got here." Aurastrolumba said. "Apparently, I was drawn to the blonde-haired girl while Prawngolequin was drawn to the dark-skinned girl and Aurastrolumba was drawn to the blonde-haired boy!" Harpygolverine explained. "Their names are Becky, her girlfriend Dodge, and brother Ricky." Jaxondor said as she and the others flew up. "Girlfriend?! That explains why we saw Dodge and Becky kissed each other, but why would two girls fall in love with each other in the first place?!" Prawngolequin asked in confusion. "Apparently it's commonplace. Mine and Ailuxucara's human partners, Ronnie Anne and Sid are in love." Jaxondor said. "And they are both girls!" Ailuxucara added. "Interesting." Harpygolverine said. "So, what's new with you guys?" Ronnie Anne asked Becky, Dodge, and Ricky. "You mean besides being exposed to some weird light from that shockwave that hit?" Becky asked. That took the Lucharangers by surprise. Casey noticed Jalissa was looking nervous as well. "Something wrong, Jalissa?" He asked his girlfriend. "Oh, it's nothing!" She said. "You guys were exposed to some light?" Ronnie Anne asked. "Yeah, I was exposed to some cyan colored light, Dodge orange, and Ricky, I'm not exactly sure what to call that color." Becky said. "Why do you ask?" Becky asked. "Well-" Ronnie Anne said, only to hear people screaming. "That can't be good." Sid said as everyone ran out the gym.
Meanwhile...
Iracundo was currently in his Erik Kendall disguise, sneakily watching as the Shocker Kaijin and Pecadiablos wreaked havoc in the school. "I still don't understand why you can't join in on this, Iracundo." Saguaron complained. "I can't break my cover, you stupid cactus!" Iracundo reminded. "If I did, then those Lucharangers will easily find out about all of our identities and everything will be ruined!" He added. "Fine, whatever." Saguaron said as a lightning bolt shot past him. "That would be my cue to leave!" Iracundo quietly said as he then quickly left the scene. The monsters turned to see the Lucharangers. "Four of you this time? Man, just how sore is Orgullo over that stupid Pecadra thing?" Carl complained. "Pecadra? I don't know what you're talking about!" Saguaron stated in confusion. "I only recognize two of them." Jaxondor said. "Really? Which ones?" Ronnie Anne asked. "The plant lady with flowers on her head, bat wings, and eight spider leg-like roots is Alraunela! The plant she's based on is a Mandragora officinarum, also known as a Mandrake root, which is known for it's roots being shaped like a human being! Though, in her case, her name is based on the German word for Mandrake, which "Alraune", which I believe is a title of a German Novel! Of course, Alraunela physically appears to be based on modern pop culture version of the Alraune, which is a Mandrake/human hybrid being, usually depicted as female, that feeds either on human blood or sometimes *SHUDDER!* on a certain substance that only male humans produce!" Lunastura answered with a shudder.
The girls all shuddered in realization. "And the other?" Ronnie Anne asked. "The one with the grassy hair and beard, leafy-feathered wings, and goat horns covered in tree branches is Leshire! He's based on a Leshy, which is a male spirit of the forests in pagan Slavic mythology! Appearance-wise, a Leshy usually appears as a tall man, but he is able to change his size from that of a blade of grass to that of a very tall tree! Plus, he has hair and a beard made from living grass and vines, and is sometimes depicted with a tail, goat's hooves, and horns, similar to Pan from Greek Mythology! He also has pale white skin that contrasts with his bright green eyes. He even has blue blood, which makes his cheeks the shade of blue! Because of his status as the Forest Lords, a Leshy carries a club to express that he is the master of the wood! Legend also describes him as having a red scarf and sometimes wearing a left shoe on his right foot! He also had no shadow and he was really big, but to hide from people in the forest he can turn into dwarf-like creatures. Strangely enough, a Leshy has a close bond with the gray wolf, and is often seen in the company of bears as well! A Leshy also likes to play mischievous pranks on humans wandering the forest where he lives, usually by imitating people's voices, leading people astray, stealing their axes, kidnapping women, and even tickling people to death! However, despite all of this, a Leshy isn't truly evil as anyone who befriends a Leshy would be taught about the secrets of magic! Heck, farmers and Shepard make pacts with a Leshy to protect their crops and sheep! Of course, if more than one Leshy inhabits a forest, they will fight for territorial rights! However, unlike his mythical counterpart, Leshire is truly evil! Not only does he like to lead people astray in forests and sometimes tickle them to death, but he also has the ability to cover entire civilizations in various types of plants and even create an army of malevolent humanoid tree-like monsters called Monstreants!" Lunastura explained. "The other two, I have no idea." Jaxondor admitted. "Hey! Their belts have the same symbols as those guys we helped Lincoln and the others against the other day!" Sid realized, catching Iracundo's attention.
"Wait, what?" Iracundo quietly asked in confusion while hiding. "We are agents of Shocker! I am Saguaron, the Saguaro Cactus Kaijin!" Saguaron said. "And I'm Nepenthesa, the Attenborough's Pitcher Plant Kaijin!" Nepenthesa said. "A cactus and a carnivorous plant? And I thought the last guys were weird!" Sid said. "Yeah, last I checked, the last two Shocker Kaijin we fought were based on a Spectral Bat and a Brazilian Wandering Spider, both of which were animals, not plants!" Sameer noted. "Hmm?" Iracundo said, interested as they hadn't mentioned either of them before. "Yeah, well, for your information, not all of us Shocker Kaijin are based on animals! Some of us, like Saguaron and I, are based on plants, while there's some, like our comrade Amanitake, that are based on fungi!" Nepenthesa stated. "Good thing Luan didn't hear that prime joke opportunity." Ronnie Anne muttered. "Jalissa, Becky, Ricky, Dodge, do you guys think you can evacuate the school?" Sid asked their friends. "We'll sure try!" Said Jalissa. "Of course, we should let Principal Valenzuela know about this as well!" She added.
"Good idea!" Ronnie Anne said as the four split off. "Let's do this! Lucha Power!" The eight said, transforming into the Lucharangers. "Storm Power! LuchaPurple!" Ronnie Anne said. "Sound Power! LuchaBlue!" Sid called. "Metal Power! LuchaRed!" Casey called. "Sand Power! LuchaGreen!" Sameer shouted. "Crystal Power! LuchaPink!" Nikki called. "Solar Power! LuchaGold!" Carl cried. "Lunar Power! LuchaSilver!" Adelaide called. "Guardian spirits awaken and unite! Alebrije Sentai!" Ronnie Anne chanted. "Lucharanger!" The eight called. "Them? Seriously?" Ricky asked in confusion as they ran. "I know, crazy right?" Becky asked. "Wait a minute, Becky! You know about this and you didn't even bother to tell me?!" Ricky asked in annoyance. "Not the part about Carl and Adelaide. That part honestly is surprising. Wait until you hear about how Dodge and I got these!" Becky said, pointing to her and Dodge's chests. "Focus! I'll get the principal, you guys start work on evacuating everybody!" Jalissa said.
"Oh! Right! Of course!" Becky replied. "Yeah, Sorry!" Dodge apologized. The four split up, with Jalissa running towards Principal Valenzuela's office. As the Lucharangers and monsters were fighting, Saguaron noticed Becky, Ricky, and Dodge running and caught Nepenthesa's attention. "What do you say we split from these losers and cause some more mayhem, starting with them?" The Saguaro Cactus Kaijin suggested. "Oh! I don't mind at all, my love!" Nepenthesa replied. "Looks like the time to act is now." AkaRed said as he, Mambana, and Axolota watched from the temple. AkaRed walked over to the briefcase carrying the new Lucha Changers and grabbed a Cyan-colored one with an symbol that's an uppercase letter E made of energy bolts (Similar to the Energy Dopant's Gaia Memory symbol, albeit with sharper ends), an orange-colored one with a symbol that's shaped like an atom (similar to Jimmy Neutron's shirt logo, albeit with the electron rings being more rounded and closer to each other), and a magnet-colored one with a symbol that's shaped like a horseshoe magnet. "Mambana, with me, Axolota, stay here and watch the fight, using this to communicate any dangers!" AkaRed said, handing Axolota a communicator. "Understood, AkaRed!" Axolota replied.
Back at the school, Becky, Ricky, and Dodge walked into a horrifying sight. Demi Diablos and Combatmen crawling all over, attacking and capturing the students. "Sweet Tea and Cookies! We got to do something!" Dodge exclaimed in shock. Becky looked into a nearby supply closet, which for some reason had an automatic pitching machine. "That will work!" Dodge said as they set it up and launched baseballs at the foot soldiers. "Yee!" The Shocker Combatmen yelped in pain as they and the Demi Diablos were pelted by rapidly fired baseballs. "Yeah, take that, weirdos!" Becky said as the students took this opportunity to vacate the premises. "These humans are insane!" Harpygolverine said as she and the rest of the Wild Group watched from the ceiling. "I like it!" She said as the three smiled in eagerness. Sudddenly, the machine ran out of baseballs. "Uh oh." Becky said, realizing they were out of ammo, and the Combatmen and Demi Diablos weren't too thrilled. "We'd better help them!" Harpygolverine said. "Good idea!" Prawngolequin and Aurastrolumba said.
(*TRUMPET CHARGE!*) "CHARGE!" The Wild Bunch shouted as they charged towards the Demi Diablos and Shocker Combatmen. "What the?" Becky, Ricky, and Dodge asked in confusion as Harpygolverine fired an intense energy beam, obliterating several of the footsoldiers. Then, Prawngolequin curled up into a ball and then levitated a few pieces of debris before she then broke the debris down in a molecular level and reformed them into spiked spheres that hovered around her body like electrons. Afterwards, she charged towards some more footsoldiers while still curled up and knocked them down while throwing the spiked spheres at them. Aurastrolumba took notice of a locker door that had been torn off the hinges and got an idea. He then unleashed magnetic energy from his Aurochs horns to levitate the locker door and then threw at some of the footsoldiers before he molded the locker door to wrap around the footsoldiers like a metal towel. Giving Harpygolverine the perfect shot to obliterate them with an energy blast.
"Holy Shamoly!" Becky exclaimed in awe. "Who, or what are you?" Ricky asked. "I'm Harpygolverine!" Harpygolverine said. "I'm Prawngolequin!" Prawngolequin said. "And I'm Aurastrolumba!" Aurastrolumba said. "Together, we are the Alebrije known as the Wild Bunch!" Harpygolverine said. "Alebrije? You mean those weird creature things that we just saw hanging with Ronnie Anne and her friends?" Dodge asked. "Yes, we've been following you three ever since we were forced out of our doomed world." Prawngolequin said. "Apparently, each one of us are somehow drawn towards each of you three! Specifically, I'm drawn towards you, Becky, while Prawngolequin is drawn towards your girlfriend Dodge and Aurastrolumba is drawn towards your brother Ricky!" Harpygolverine explained. "And that, combined with the fact the three of you were exposed to the light from the Sacred Power, means you are perfect for what I need." A voice said as everyone turned to see AkaRed and Mambana. "Whoa! Who are they?!" Ricky asked in surprise.
"I am AkaRed, the spirit that embodies all Super Sentai warriors who wear the color red. This is Mambana, once a warrior for the Animarius Empire, she has defected. We are friends of the Lucharangers." AkaRed explained. "It's okay, Ricky! Dodge and I have met them before!" Becky assured. "But what are you doing here?" Harpygolverine asked as she and the rest of the Wild Bunch hopped on their respective humans' shoulders. "The world is in danger, and the eight Lucharangers may not be enough. Which is why I need the three of you and your Alebrije." AkaRed said. "Whoa! Seriously?!" Becky asked in surprise. "When the three of you were exposed to that light, it gave you what you needed to become Lucharangers yourselves. Radiance with the Alebrije. All you need now are their blessing and powers, and these." AkaRed said, holding out the three Lucha Changers he had brought. "But, it's your decision. I can't force you to do this if you don't want to." AkaRed said.
That's when Becky, Dodge, Ricky, Harpygolverine, Prawngolequin, and Aurastrolumba looked at each other and decided to form a huddle. They soon broke out. "All right, we're in!" Becky declared. "And not a moment too soon!" Axolota's voice called over the communicator. "Saguaron and Nepenthesa are nearing you!" She said. "Say what?!" They asked in shock before they all felt a sharp stinging pain in their butts and shouted "YEEEEEEOWWWWW!" while jumping up the air. As that happened, Saguaron and Nepenthesa was right behind the group and laughed at the pain of the three kids. "HAHAHA! Nice shooting there, my love!" Nepenthesa said as Saguaron was seen with his right arm straight forwards. "HEHEHE! Yeah! My expertise in shooting my Glochid (Cactus needle) Darts work like a charm!" Saguaron said while laughing. "Okay, these guys are so going down!" Becky said. "What do we do?" She asked AkaRed. "First, you must receive your Alebrije's blessings." AkaRed explained. "Right!" Harpygolverine said as she flew in front of Becky. "Human known as Becky. I, the Alebrije Harpygolverine, hereby give you my blessing, with it, you will have my powers over energy!" Harpygolverine said, bathing Becky in a cyan colored light. "You will be LuchaCyan!" AkaRed said, handing Becky said Lucha Changer.
"I was told by some people that was full of high energy, so this fits me!" Becky said as she took the Cyan Lucha Changer. "Human known as Dodge. I, the Alebrije Prawngolequin, hereby give you my blessing. With it, you will have my powers over matter!" Prawngolequin said, bathing Dodge in an orange colored light. "You will be LuchaOrange." AkaRed explained, handing her said Changer. (Don't Ask Me Why Dodge's Orange, It Was Hallucigenia77's Idea) "Interesting! Does that mean that I can turn debris into spiked spheres like you just did to those creeps back there?" Dodge asked. "Oh, that's just one of many things you can do with my matter powers! You can break down any object at the molecular level and then mold and reshape them into any shape and size you want!" Prawngolequin answered. "Oh, I'm going to enjoy this!" Dodge said, placing the changer on her wrist. "And human known as Ricky. I, the Alebrije Aurastralumba, hereby give you my blessing. With it, you will have my powers over magnetism!" Aurastralumba explained, bathing Ricky in a magnet colored light. "You will be LuchaMagnet." AkaRed said, handing Ricky the Magnet Lucha Changer.
"Wait a minute! That makes no sense! Becky and Dodge's Lucharanger names are color-based while mine is named after an object?" Ricky asked in confusion. "Actually, the 'Magnet' he's referring to is actually the name of a color, specifically my color! The color known as Magnet is primarily a color from the Violet color family. It is a mixture of blue and magenta colors!" Aurastrolumba explained. "Besides, it sounds cool. And I programmed that changer to give it's user magnet themed armor." AkaRed said. "I guess that's cool! At least I'll be use magnetic powers to help people instead of using them for evil, unlike Magneto from Marvel Comics!" Ricky noted. "To transform, all you have to do is shout 'Lucha Power' and ring the bell once." AkaRed instructed. "Okay! Sounds easy enough!" Said Becky. They then turned to face the Shocker Kaijin. "Lucha Power!" They all shouted.
Transformation Sequence
Becky stood in a wrestling wring, surrounded by all kinds of energy as electricity transformed her clothes into a Cyan and black colored version of the girls' uniform, with Harpygolverine growling and snarling before descending on her head, transforming into a helmet resembling her head. "Energy Power! LuchaCyan!" Becky declared.
Dodge stood in a wrestling ring, surrounded by golf ball-sized atoms with electrons orbiting around them as electricity transformed her clothes into a Orange and black colored version of the girls' uniform, with Prawngolequin snorting and chuffing before descending on her head, transforming into a helmet resembling her head. "Matter Power! LuchaOrange!" Dodge declared.
Ricky stood in a wrestling ring as magnetic fields formed around him with electricity turning his clothes into a magnet version of the boys' uniform with a Horseshoe Magnet inspired chest plate and a set of bar magnet shaped gauntlets appearing on his torso and arms before Aurastrolumba bellowed and descended on his head, forming a helmet resembling his head. "Magnet Power! LuchaMagnet!" Ricky declared. "What the?" Saguaron asked in astonishment. "There is three more of them now?!" Nepenthesa asked in shock. "And one's not even a real color!" Saguaron said. "Shut up!" Aurastrolumba said. "Doesn't matter! We'll destroy you anyway!" Nepenthesa declared as she then opened up the pitcher plants on her shoulders, which then shot out multiple seeds into the ground. "Come forth! Pitchervores" Nepenthesa announced as the seeds quickly grew into giant-sized monstrous pitcher plants that opened their mouths, which were located beneath the top leaves and above the opening of the pitchers, to reveal razor-sharp teeth while letting out monstrous roars. "This." Becky said, cracking her knuckles. "Is going to be fun." She said as they charged.
Back With The Others...
They were have some trouble against Alraunela and Leshire as the latter was quite nimble and was able to willingly shrink himself to grass size to avoid getting hit before quickly returning to his original size while delivering a hard uppercut at some of the Lucharangers ala Ant-Man. "Okay, these guys are really starting to get on my last nerves!" Ronnie Anne complained. "You and me both, Ronnie Anne!" Sid replied in agreement. Suddenly, Casey gets caught in the legs by Alraunela's tendrils and then was pulled towards her as Alraunela looked at him with lustful eyes. "Hey! What do you want with me, plant lady?!" Casey asked in annoyance. "I couldn't help but smell something rather delicious coming from you! Specifically, the one substance that only male humans produce from a certain part of their bodies!" Alraunela answered with a smack of her lips. That caused Casey to realize what Alraune. "*GASP!* You... Wouldn't... Dare!" Casey angrily stated while covering his crotch with his arms. "Oh, I will certainly dare! I'm from Lujuria's army after all!" Alraunela replied in a lustful tone. "You're going have to take my Lucha Changer before you could do that and that's never going to happen!" Casey pointed out. "Oh Yeah? Well, that's not going to be a problem for me!" Alraunela said as she then wrapped more of her tendrils around Casey's arms and then attempted to reach out to Casey's left arm and try to steal his Lucha Changer. However, before she could do so, Alraune was interrupted by a custard pie that was thrown towards her and splattered all over her face. "What the? A custard pie?" Alraune asked confusion. "GET YOUR STINKING VINES OFF OF MY BOYFRIEND, YOU PERVERTED PLANT WOMAN!" Jalissa angrily called out as Alraunela turned around and saw a very angry Jalissa along with Principal Valenzuela.
"Man, for once, I'm actually glad to see an authority figure!" Carl said as Iracundo realized his cover was in danger, and in a flash of fire ran out. "Whoever you are, release one of my students at once!" Principal Valenzuela demanded. "Oh great, just what we need, more humans!" Leshire complained. "Yeah and, hey, where are Saguaron and Nepenthesa?" Alraunela asked. "Hey, that's a good question." Nikki realized. "Maybe they have gone elsewhere in the school to cause more mayhem!" Ronnie Anne said in realization. "Not to worry, my friends. We've got it covered." AkaRed said, appearing beside Principal Valenzuela. "Oh my goodness!" Principal Valenzuela said in surprise. "Oh, yeah! Principal Valenzuela, this is AkaRed! He's the Lucharangers' mentor!" Jalissa said as she then turned her attention to AkaRed and said "By the way, I have told her everything about my boyfriend and everyone else's identities, just so that she would trust me, if you don't mind!" to him. That took AkaRed by surprise. "Yeah, she did tell me and I was rather surprised! But, don't worry, I'll keep their identities safe, especially from that Jim Sparkletooth!" Principal Valenzuela assured. "I never did like that guy, anyway. Just something about that smile that puts me off." Principal Valenzuela admitted. "Well, you're going to have to add three more to that list of students to protect, Principal Valenzuela." AkaRed said.
Back With Becky, Ricky, And Dodge...
As they were fending off against the Pitchervores, one of the monstrous pitcher plants managed to swallow up Ricky in its pitcher mouth. "Ricky!" Becky said in fright at the sight of her brother being eaten. "Hey! Let me outta here!" Ricky complained as he was punching and kicking from within the Pitchervore's pitcher. Becky growled, and soon, an energy sword appeared in her hand. "Don't worry, Ricky! You're big sister is coming!" Becky announced as she charged towards the Pitchervore with her energy sword in hand. Using her powers to make the blade grow, she cut several Pitchervores, including the one that had Ricky, in half, freeing her brother. As soon as he was freed, Ricky was covered from head to toe in sticky nectar, much to his own disgust. "Oh, these powers just keep on getting cooler!" Becky said. "Glad you're having a good time." Ricky said. "Me? I'm covered in sticky disgusting slime! YUCK!" He complained. "Technically, it's not slime! What we're covered in is actually nectar that carnivorous plants use to digest their prey!" Aurastrolumba informed.
"Thanks for the science lesson." Ricky said sarcastically before combining the magnets on his arms to fire an intense electrical blast at some more Ptichervores. "Better add some reinforcements!" Saguaron stated as he then pulled out a pouch, took out some seeds from it, and then threw them into the ground. "Come forth, Cactusaurs!" Saguaron announced as the seeds quickly grew into large theropod dinosaur-shaped cactus-like creatures that were somewhat shaped like the raptors from the "Jurassic Park" franchise, claws, teeth, and all. "Time to show these 'Little Shop Of Horrors' rejects what I can do!" Dodge declared. Dodge then slammed her hands onto the ground and molecularly rearranged the floor to produce spikes that sprang forth from the ground. The spikes slammed into the Cactusaurs, destroying them. "Nice one, babe!" Becky declared. "D'OH! Looks like we'll have to have do this ourselves!" Saguaron stated in frustration. "I'm with you on that, my love!" Nepenthesa replied as she then opened up the pitcher plants on her shoulders and rapidly fired out seeds from them like a machine gun, similar to the Pokemon move Bullet Seed, while Saguaron straightened both of his arms forward and shot out his Glochid Darts from them. Afterwards, both attacks managed hit Becky, Dodge, and Ricky at once, causing them to yell in pain.
"YEOWCH!" They all said. "Man I'm hating these guys!" Harpygolverine complained. "Same here!" Prawngolequin replied. "Let's get rid of them!" Aurastralumba declared. "I have an idea! You know that cannon thing the others use?" Becky asked. "Yeah?" Dodge and Ricky said. "Since they have one, doesn't it stand to reason we do as well?" Becky asked. "I can't say that we couldn't try!" Dodge replied. "All right, let's do this!" Ricky said. "Energy!" Becky declared. "Matter!" Dodge shouted. "Magnet!" Ricky called. "Summon, Wild Bazooka!" The three shouted, summoning what looked more like a cyan, orange, and magnet colored version of the Biomotion Buster from Liveman, combined with a bazooka. "For the finisher!" Dodge said, as she and Becky used their powers to summon several pieces of metal and a ball of energy that Ricky used his power to form an explosive salvo out of, that they loaded into the Wild Bazooka. "Uh Oh!" Nepenthesa and Saguaron said in frightful realization. "Bye bye!" Becky said, pulling the trigger, causing the Wild Bazooka to shoot it's payload at the two Shocker Kaijin.
Once the attack hit them, Nepenthesa and Saguaron shouted in pain and anguish "WE'VE BEEN WEED-WHACKED!" before they both fell down and exploded. The three laughed. "I could get used to this!" Becky said. "Should we join up with the others and tell them what happened?" Dodge asked. "Good idea!" Ricky said.
Meanwhile...
The core eight had launched Alraunela and Leshire out of the school before summoning their own finisher, the trusted LuchaCannon. "Better do something, Leshire! They are going to fire at us!" Alraunela said in fright. "On it! Monstreants, arise!" Leshire said as he swung his club around and then slammed it into the ground, causing the ground to shake and then crack open. Once that happened, an army of large humanoid tree-like monsters sprang out from the cracks and then stretched out their arms to grab the LuchaCannon and then yank it out of the Lucharangers' hands. "Ha! Take that, Lucharangers!" Leshire said. However, the Lucharangers started laughing, much to Alraunela and Leshire's confusion. "What's so funny?" Alraunela asked in confusion. "That's not our only finisher!" Ronnie Anne said. "MaxLucha Power!" They all shouted, transforming into MaxLucha Mode. "It might be a waste to do this just for this, but." Ronnie Anne said. "Lucha Sacred Bomber!" They all shouted, summoning their secondary finisher and tossing it at the Pecadiablos and Monstreants. "I did not think this through." Leshire admitted.
The bomber destroyed the enemies. "Yes!" The Lucharangers shouted in victory. However, their victory was cut short as Alraunela and Leshire, along with the Monstreants, rose up in their Mega Mode. "Uh Oh!" The Lucharangers said at once. "Alright, no more fooling around! Time for me to unleash my full power!" Leshire declared as he then slammed his club into the ground and caused the ground to shake before various types of giant plants sprang up from the ground and wrap around the buildings, turning the entirety of Great Lakes City into a forest/jungle. "And I'll unleash some of my own soldiers!" Alraunela announced as she slammed her tendrils onto the ground and shouted "Mandragoons, arrise!" as army of giant Mandrake Root humanoids, with their bodies being made of roots and having leaves flowers on top of their heads, sprang up from the ground and joined up with the Monstreants. "We'd better bust out LuchaChampion for this!" Ronnie Anne said. "Good idea!" Sid said. "Alebrije Henkei! Cho Alebrije Gattai!" They all shouted, combining into their mech. "LuchaChampion, awaken!" The core eight shouted.
(Cue "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses)
"That giant-sized toy is not going to defeat us! Mandragoons, let out your loudest!" Alraunela ordered as the Mandragoons took in a deep breath and then unleashed a combined sonic sceam that knocked LuchaChampion down to the ground. "Okay, not used to being on this end of that attack!" Sid complained. "It's about to get worse for you! Now, Monstreants!" Leshire ordered as the Monstreants went and yanked the Champion Saber away from LuchaChampion and gave the weapon to Alraunela before they then grabbed the Mecha and started slamming it into the ground and beating it up left and right. As this was going on, Becky, Ricky, and Dodge exited the school, seeing what's going on. "This isn't good." Becky said. "We've got to help them!" Dodge said. "Hey! AkaRed! How do we get those robot things?" Ricky asked AkaRed. "Simply shout Alebrije Henkei." AkaRed said. "Alebrije Henkei!" The three shouted.
Transformation Sequence
Becky was back in the wrestling ring that's formed in her morphing sequence as cyan energy bolts struck around her. Then, her body became metallic, Harpy Eagle wings sprouted from her back. A Piranha tail grew, her arms and legs became metallic, with front ones resembling those of a Wolverine and her hind ones resembling those of a Harpy Eagle, as she grew and snarled as she transformed into the Harpygolverine mech.
Dodge was back in the wrestling ring that's formed in her morphing sequence as atoms spinning around in the background. Her body became metallic, Harlequin Beetle wings sprouted from her back. A Pangolin tail with a Giant Tiger Prawn tail fan on it grew, her arms and legs became metallic and resembling those of a Pangolin while several perieopods (ten walking legs used by prawns and other decapod crustaceans) grew on her sides as she then grew and snorted and chuffing as she transformed into the Prawngolequin mech.
Ricky back in the wrestling ring that's formed in his morphing sequence as magnetic fields formed around him with various types of magnets surrounding him in the background. His body became metallic, Pigeon wings sprouted from his back. A Sabertooth Salmon tail grew, his arms and legs became metallic and resembling those of an Aurochs (ancient relative of modern-day cattle), with the front legs having Sabertooth Salmon fins on them, as he grew and bellowed as he transformed into the Aurastrolumba mech. "Okay, this is awesome!" Becky said. "Yeah! I can agree with that!" Dodge replied. "Totally!" Ricky said. "Come on guys! Let's get them!" Becky declared. "Right!" Dodge and Ricky said.
Meanwhile...
Jim Sparkletooth and his crew were driving through town looking for something for the news. "Jim? Are you sure that we should be driving here right now?" One of crewmen asked in worry. "Yeah! The whole city has been turned into a literal forest/jungle area!" Another crewman added as he pointed out that the whole city was covered in various types of trees and other plants. "Exactly! Stuff like this has to mean the Lucharangers are nearby!" Jim said. Everyone else groaned as one crewman was secretly drawing fan art of the Lucharangers, primarily romance art between LuchaPurple and LuchaBlue. Just then, the crewman that was driving saw the legs of one of the Monstreants. Screaming, the crewman brought the van to a screeching halt. Unfortunately, the van didn't make it in time as the van crashed onto one of the Monstreant's legs *CRASH!* "What's the big idea, Steve?" Jim asked angrily. "Sorry, Jim! I just saw a giant walking tree and I panicked!" The crewman, now named Steve, replied in apology. "Say what?" Jim asked, looking up to see the battle. "Get the camera, get the camera, get the camera!" He eagerly said.
Everyone did so and ran out the van. "Is it just me or is that the Lucharangers' giant robot getting pummeled by more of those walking trees?!" One of the crewmen asked as pointed at where LuchaChampion was still being beaten up by the Monstreants. "Yes! It's glorious!" Jim said. Unfortunately, his joy was cut short as a beam of energy was blasted into the monsters, courtesy of Becky. "What in the world?" Jim asked in confusion. The Lucharangers looked up to see the three new team members attacking the makeshift foot soldiers. We see Becky, in her Harpygolverine mech form, extending energy claws from her front paws and using them to slice through some of the Monstreants like a knife through butter. "Just when I thought this couldn't get any better!" She declared. "Grrr! Mandragoons, stop them!" Alraunela ordered as the Mandragoons took a deep breath again and let out a combined sonic scream at Becky. However, the sonic attack was blocked as a huge wall suddenly appeared from the ground in front of Becky, courtesy of Dodge in her Prawngolequin mech form.
"Anyone up for dominoes?" Dodge asked, knocking the wall over, crushing them. "Dang It!" Alraunela shouted in frustration. Then, several more Monstreants came and charged towards Becky and Dodge, only to be stopped as Ricky, in his Aurastrolumba mech form, skewered them with his horns. "Where's the barbie I can put these shrimp on?" He joked with a laughably bad Australian accent. The Lucharangers, plus Becky and Dodge, laughed at that joke while Alraunela and Leshire groaned in annoyance. "You guys take care of those two! We've got the lackeys!" Becky said, helping LuchaChampion up. "Thanks! But, unfortunately, Alraunela has our Champion Saber!" Ronnie Anne said Alraunela was shown to still have the Champion Saber in her hands. "Oh, you mean..." Ricky said, using his powers on the metal in the saber to yank it out of Alraunela's hands and into his mouth. "This?" He asked. "Oh come on!" Alraunela complained. "Wow! Thanks!" Said Ronnie Anne as Ricky tossed the Champion Saber back to LuchaChampion's hands before he then shook off the Monstreants that were stuck to his horns into the air. Then, Becky blasted the Monstreants with a few energy bolts, causing them to explode.
"Skyring, descend!" Ronnie Anne called, summoning the skyring. "Follow us, if you dare!" Sid said as LuchaChampion flew up to the Sky Ring. "Might as well!" Said Leshire as he and Alraunela spread out their wings and flew over to the Sky Ring as well. "Now, where were we?" Becky said as she, Dodge, and Ricky stared down the remaining footsoldiers. "You have got to be kidding me! There's 11 of them now?! When are they going to run out of colors?!" Jim complained. "Beats me!" Steve replied. Then, we see several Monstreants and Mandragoons charging towards Dodge. Suddenly, she had an idea as she folded up her wings and then curled up into a ball before she then rolled towards the plant-themed footsoldiers like a bowling ball and then knocked them all down like bowling pins *BOWLING CRASH!*. "Steeeerike!" Dodge announced in victory after she undid her ball form. "Nice one, my love!" Becky called. "Thanks! I always wanted to do that!" Dodge replied. "Another same-sex couple?" Jim asked upon realizing both voices belonged to girls. "Could be!" Steve replied with a shrug.
Back With The Others...
Leshire was using his club to block attacks by LuchaChampion's weapon while Alraunela snuck from behind and struck the Mecha's back with her tendrils and root legs. "Why couldn't one of us have been given fire powers?! That would make dealing with these two a whole lot easier!" Laird complained. But then, Carl got an idea. "We may not have fire powers, but I certainly have something that's just as effective!" Carl suggested. "Champion Saber, Solar Mode!" He called. Then, the Falcon wings detached from LuchaChampion's back and attached themselves to the crossguard, creating a blade of bright that was engulfed in solar flares. "Good thinking, Carl!" Ronnie Anne said. "Well, they say that the sun is hotter than flames, so I thought it be a good idea!" Carl replied. "Now what do you say we do some extreme pruning!" Carl said. "Solar Slash!" He announced as LuchaChampion when and spun around while creating a solar energy slash around itself that also created a barrage of solar flares at Alraunela and Leshire.
"HOT, HOT, HOT!" Alraunela and Leshire yelped in pain as the solar slash burned them alive and forced them away from LuchaChampion. "Nice one, Carl!" Ronnie Anne said. As the two plant-themed demons were writhing in pain,
Leshire said "Okay, so you all damaged us! It doesn't matter anyway! Even if you destroy us and seal us away, my forest spell will still be in affect for a very, very long time!" in a smug grin. That's when the Lucharangers took notice that the forest/jungle was still standing. "No problem! I'll just use the Solar Slash to burn all the plants away!" Carl said. "Hah! You do that and you'll end up burning your own city to the ground along with the plants!" Alraunela replied with a smirk. "Dang It! She's right, Carl! We can't use the Solar Slash! We'll just end up destroying our homes!" Ronnie Anne said in frustration. "Great! Just great! How are we supposed to get rid of that forest-jungle without turning Great Lakes City into ruins?!" Carl asked in frustration. "Perhaps, I can help!" Conerrapingo's voice rang out through the comm link in the Lucharangers' helmets. "Of course! Conerrapingo's element is nature!" Trisaurus realized. "Specifically, the ability to control and manipulate plantlife as well as the ability to communicate with various species of animals!" He added. "Do you think you can pull this off, Coney?" Ronnie Anne asked. "Of course I can! I have been using my abilities to help clear paths in the forests of the world of Alebrije without damaging the plants themselves!" Conerrapingo answered.
"Go for it, my love!" Trisaurus said. "AWWW!" The female Lucharangers went. "With pleasure, Trisaurus!" Conerrapingo replied as she then focused teal-colored energy in herself before she then unleashed teal-colored shockwave that caused all of the plants to be coated in teal-colored light. "Plants that are created by Leshire's forest spell, move out of the city!" Conerrapingo ordered, causing all of the trees and other plants to suddenly remove themselves from the buildings, uproot themselves from the ground, and then actually use their roots to literally march out of city (imagine "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" by Paul Dukas playing in the background) and head all the way across the streets for a few miles until they finally stop at an open empty field, where they would then plant themselves into the empty ground and become a new pure forest. "Whoa." Casey said. "This is just not our day." Leshire said. "I'm afraid it's about to get worse for you!" Ronnie Anne declared as LuchaChampion prepared it's finisher. "LuchaChampion, Grand Victory!" The Core Eight Shouted.
First, LuchaChampion started moving it's weapon in a circle, with a purple Storm Cloud, a blue set of soundwaves, a red Steelium-Z symbol, a green Groundium-Z symbol, a pink CARAT like Symbol, a yellow Psychium-Z symbol, a gold sun, and a silver Crescent Moon appearing. Then, LuchaChampion spread out its wings and flew up to the air while summoning astral versions of eight Alebrije mechs. Finally, the astral versions of eight Alebrije mechs charged towards Alraunela and Leshire and damaged both of them even further before LuchaChampion then charged towards the two plant-themed demons and slashed them with it's weapon. As they yell in pain, Alraune and Leshire shouted "LOOKS LIKE WE'RE BLASTED AWAY AGAIN!" before they both fell down. However, before the two exploded, Alraunela and Leshire quietly said "Go, our daughter! Save yourself!", causing a large seed pod launched out from Alraune's back and sailed off into the distance. Once that happened, Alraune and Leshire finally exploded into a large cloud. Laird then tossed the lock into the essence cloud, sealing both Pecadiablos. "Am I the only one who noticed something launch from that explosion?" Jaxondor asked.
"Not that you have mentioned, big sis, so did I! Especially, since falcon vision is eight times better than human vision!" Magnifalcougar replied. "It looked kind of like a seed pod." Jaxondor said. "I believe I heard Alraunela and Leshire call that seed pod their daughter before they exploded!" Batelegong informed. "Do you guys think that's something we should be concerned about?" Magnifalcougar asked.
Later that day...
Lujuria was in the woods looking for something. "That Great Leader guy said it should be around here somewhere." She muttered. After a few minutes of searching, Lujuria finally found the seed pod that Alraunela launched earlier in a clearing near some trees. Using her plant powers, she was able to peek inside the seed pod. "Well, well, well. You two certainly got busy. You have no idea what you're in store for, Lucharangers!" Lujuria said as she looked at what appeared to be an unborn fetus within the seed pod.
Later...
"Now there's 11 of them! 11!" Jim Sparkletooth said on the news. The Lucharangers, including Becky, Dodge, and Ricky, plus Jalissa were watching that very news on television alongside their Alebrije partners. "And it would seem that two of them are in a same sex relationship just like LuchaPurple and LuchaBlue! But don't fret my loyal viewers! I will continue my quest to expose these fakesters!" Jim Sparkletooth said. "What loyal fans? I read online that his ratings have tanked ever since those things he said about your guys' relationship." Jalissa told Ronnie Anne and Sid. This caused everyone to laugh. "Yeah, that guy really deserves that!" Becky said. "Well, I'm actually excited to have you guys on the team!" Ronnie Anne told Becky, Ricky, Dodge, and their Alebrije. "Yeah! Especially since you guys helped us get rid of those Monstreants and Mandragoons!" Sid added. "Aww, thanks!" Becky said. "Now all we have to do is find all the other people that were exposed to the Sacred Power's light, and we'll have a full team!" Ronnie Anne said. "Well, that shouldn't be too hard! I mean, how many people could have possibly been exposed to that stuff?" Ricky asked. "According to AkaRed, including you three and our friend Aya, who is currently in Africa visiting her mother and sisters' graves, 27." Ronnie Anne answered.
"27?! Dang! That's a lot of people!" Dodge noted in surprise. "Yeah! Not only that, but if you include the 8 of you to the 27 people you guys mentioned, you get a total of 35 Lucharangers!" Jalissa said as she typed the numbers down a calculator. "Beating the record the Uchuu Sentai Kyurangers previously held with 12." AkaRed said. "And coincidentally enough, that number matches with the Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, since they were the 35th Super Sentai Team to come into existence!" He added. "What does that have to do with anything?" Becky asked. "Well for one thing, Captain Marvelous, GokaiRed, was a student of mine." AkaRed explained. That took Becky, Dodge, Ricky, and the Wild Bunch by surprise. "Yeah, me, Marvelous, and a traitorous second student of mine, Basco ta Jolokia, traveled throughout the galaxy, in search of the Greatest Treasure in the Universe! Which was later destroyed by Gai Ikari, GokaiSilver, but it was a necessary destruction. Long Story." AkaRed said. "Of course, it has been a while since I have seen Captain Marvelous!" He noted.
"I wonder what he and the other Gokaigers are up to." AkaRed said. "Oh well!" He said. "You guys keep referencing some girl named Aya. Who's she?" Ricky asked. "She's a friend of ours! She's from Africa and she, along with her boyfriend Denkyem, her cousin Mpatapo, and her best friend Duafe, are staying with Lincoln's family for a foreign student exchange program, though she, Denkyem, Mpatapo, and Duafe currently back in Africa for a visit to her mother and older sister's graves!" Ronnie Anne explained. "She is awesome! She can see people's auras, transform into a werehyena, and it's thanks to her that we have these!" Sid said as the girls all pointed to their chests. "Huh? How did she do that?" Ricky asked in confusion. "Basically, because she's from a long line of African Witchdoctors, Aya made a potion that allowed our breasts to grow to our current sizes!" Nikki answered. "And in the case of her, our friends, Sakura and Phixia, and us, our powers got a boost." Ronnie Anne said. "Huh, I wonder if I were to drink something like that, I'd get a six pack?" Ricky said, making the girls laugh. "You wish!" Sid said. "The potion only works on girls. If a boy drinks it, all they'll get is the taste of a fruit smoothie!" Nikki said. "Oh man." Ricky said. "You don't suppose that Aya has a potion that's made exclusively for boys, do ya?" He asked. "As far as we know, not really!" Casey replied, much to Ricky's chagrin. "Dang It!" Ricky complained. Everyone chuckled.
Back At The Animarius Castle...
The Great Leader lead his eight remaining Kaijin into King Draco's throne room. "Did it work?" King Draco asked. "Like a charm." The Great Leader answered. "Those silly little demons think we're on their side, but what they don't realize is that we're actually sabotaging them!" The Great Leader said. "Excellent, and I have a mission that requires your help. It seems some of the Kamen Riders' allies are headed to Africa, I figure with your group, we might be able to derail their plans." King Draco said. "Africa, huh? I have just the two Kaijin that are perfectly suited for that continent! Deathstinger and Hirudom!" The Great Leader said as he pointed at Deathstinger and Hirudom. "Yes, Great Leader!" The Deathstalker Scorpion and Leech Kaijin said. "And how's Shibogumon?" Great Leader asked. "Once Cicadeath and Flygor finish making the upgrades I've ordered, the Kamen Riders won't know what hit them!" King Draco said. "Excellent!" The Great Leader said. "Your majesty! Since those two Kaijin are going to Africa anyway, Terriblis, Leo, Megalonis, Kabuto, Ophiucus, Tyrannus and I would like your permission to include an Animarius soldier from each of our respective armies to aid them!" General Aquilis requested as she, Terriblis, Leo, Megalonis, Kabuto, Ophiucus, and Tyrannus bowed down in front of King Draco. "Hmmm! That would help make things difficult for our enemies! Permission granted!" King Draco responded. "Right away, your majesty!" The generals said at once. Just then, a loud sound of thunder was heard and everyone stopped what they were doing to see a bolt of lightning enter the throne room through a window. Once it hit the floor, the bolt of lightning transformed into a male humanoid creature that had the head and upper body of a goat with crocodilian lower arms and webbed clawed hands and the lower body, hind legs, and tail of a Nile Crocodile as well the symbol of the Mythical Army on his left shoulder. "~I'm Back!~" The goat/crocodile creature called out in a sing-song tone. "Akampulse? Is that you?" Cerberion asked in confusion. "Yep! That's right! I saw the signal and I was more than happy to answer the call!" The creature, now named Akampulse, answered. Upon hearing that, Capricornus went and saw Akampulse, to which he was more than delighted to see. "Brother! You're back!" Capricornus said in delight as he and Akampulse greeted each other with a bleat and a friendly headbutt.
"Great, just what we need." Aquilis said sarcastically. "It's good to see you too, brother! How has things been going for you since we last saw each other?" Akampulse asked. "Oh! It's been great! I've been causing mayhem with my magic and alchemy powers for the last 5,000 years! Then, I saw the signal and I immediately headed back to the castle! I was then given this book of magic spells and alchemy recipes that King Draco relinquished from a human, who he made his personal court jester!" Capricornus answered as he pointed at Morag, who was silently standing there while frowning. Akampulse laughed out loud. "A court jester! Now that's something new!" Akampulse said while laughing. "And I see that's not the only thing that's new!" He said, looking at Tytus' wings, Ophiucus' tail, and Terriblis. "Yeah, the reason for my mechanical wings is because my original ones were cut off by an enemy of the Empire after a failed infiltration!" Tytus explained. "While a traitorousssssss sssssssssssssssssoldier of mine ate my tail!" Ophiucus said with anger.
"As for me, well, after the original general Toadus and my brother Gorf went and betrayed the Empire, which caused me and everyone else in Amphibian Army to be executed and reduced to Soul Cores, I was brought back 5,000 years later to become the new general of the Amphibian Army! Though, I'm still bitter about the fact that Toadus and my brother Gorf betrayed the Empire!" Terriblis explained in bitterness. "Ah, that makes sense. Hey, I couldn't help but overhear your plans to send a small army to Africa, mind if I join? I was actually there for a while, so I might be able to help!" Akampulse suggested. "You were in Africa? That's funny, the last Animarius that came all the way from Africa was that deserter Shockwing!" Kabuto informed. "I thought I sensed someone familiar." Akampulse said. "When I was in Africa, I felt Shockwing's presence in a village somewhere! However, when I thought I found him, all I found was a hamerkop!" He added. "Guess that jerk sensed you as well and didn't want to be recognized." Tytus grumbled. "Huh, that's odd you say it like that, Tytus, last I checked, you and Shockwing-" Akampulse started saying, only for Tytus to launch a feather at the wall, cutting Akampulse's cheek.
"Ow! What was that for?!" Akampulse asked in confusion. "For your information, Akampulse, I recently learned that Shockwing drugged me with a roofie in my drink and took my innocence without my knowledge or consent, all in attempt to fertilize my eggs!" Tytus answered in cold anger. Tytus then shuddered at that memory, but Aquilis hugged her daughter in an attempt to comfort her. The other generals, plus Cerberion, Capricornus, Akampulse, and even King Draco, were rather disgusted by that. "*GROAN!* I may be evil, but even I don't like that! Seriously, drugging another Animarius and trying to mate with them without their consent is a crime in the Animarius Empire! I should know, because I made that law!" King Draco noted in disgust. "But anyway, since you volunteered, I guess you can go. But for now, get ready. And get to know our new associates as well." King Draco said, pointing to The Great Leader and his remaining Kaijin. "Greetings, Akampulse! I'm the Great Leader of Shocker, an evil organization from another universe! And these are my Shocker Kaijin; Deathstinger, Queen Hornet, Scolopendron, Hirudom, Amanitake, Malokurage, Austrukani, and Macrokame! They were originally humans before they joined Shocker and became their current forms through various biological experiments and technological enhancements!" The Great Leader said while introducing himself and his Kaijin. "Nice to meet you!" Akampulse said. "They scare me." He whispered to Capricornus. "You and me both!" He said. "Get your soldiers ready.
