Chapter 10: The Final Facility Part 2
The Gokaigers played two rounds of Janken. In the first round, Joe was the only loser throwing rock as the others all through paper. In the second round, Gai and Ahim through scissors losing out to Marvelous, Don and Luka who through rock. With the teams decided, the Gokaigers slit up and began to make their way to there respective targets. For the first several floors each way, the Gokaigers didn't encounter any Gormin but around the sixth/seventh floors each, the Zangyack soldiers swarmed the pirates. Unfortunately for the Gormin, the Gokaigers were ready for this and began to slash and blast their way through the Zangyack soldiers.
On the upper floors Marvelous, Don and Luka were able to advanced another three flights of stares with almost no trouble at all. That was before they ran into a squad of Sugormin. The Sugormin fired upon the pirates as soon as they were within eye sight. As the laser bolts flew passed their heads, Marvelous, Luka and Don took out their Mobirates and Gokai Changers. "Magiranger!" cried the Mobirates as the three became the Magical Brothers. After converting the MaiSticks into their respective weapons, the three engaged the Sugormin and were soon joined by the Gormin that were following them. You would think that with the Zangyack's greater numbers that Marvelous, Don and Luka would be over powered with little to no effort at all. However, be there were so many of the Gormin and Surgormin trying to fight the Gokaigers and the fact that every corridor were no bigger then a school hallway, nullified the Zangyack's numbers and made them easy pickings for the pirates. It also didn't help the Zangyack soldiers that they were starting to trip over the bodies of their fallen brethren. The only thing the Gormin and Sugormin managed to do was slow the progress of the pirates which caused forced to go all out on them. Marvelous starred this by using the Blazing Storm attack and cleared out dozens of Zangyack soldiers as he advanced further. With their pathway clear, Luka turned to Don and yelled out "Doc, come on!" Don turned to Luka and nodded, but first the two had to take care of the Gormin still coming from behind. First Luka used the MagiCrossbow to blast what was left of the Gormin and Don followed it up by casting a spell that created thousands of thick vines that served as a wall to keep any more Gormin from following them. With the way clear, Don and Lukaquickly caught up to Marvelous how was stopped by another squad of Zangyack soliders. Not having it, the three pirates unlessed the most powerful attacks of their Mahou Sentai counterparts. "Green Ground!" cried Don. "Yellow Thunder!" yelled Luka. "Red Fire!" called Marvelous as the three wiped out the Zangyack that dared to stand in their way.
Down on the lower levels of the space station, Joe, Ahim and Gai were having the same experience on their journey to the shield generator. "Goseiger!" cried Ahim and Joe's Mobirates as they became their Tensou counterparts. With Skick Shot and Seaick Bowgun in hand, the Queen and the first mate bagan gunning down the Gormin as soon as they entered their sights. In a matter of seconds, all that was left from this squad of Zangyack soldiers was the three Sugormin that accompanied them. Gai took upon himself to tkae care of these three. "Gokai Change!" cried Gai as he ran towards the three. "GoseiKnight!" cried his Cellular, turning Gai into the Groundon Knight of destiny. With the Leonlaser in sword mode, Gai made quick work of the Sugormin with a flurry of furious slashes. After the Sugormin exploded, Gai, Joe and Ahim returned to normal and continued down to the shield generator. They didn't get very far though as even more Gormin emerged and attacked the trio. But Joe, Gai and Ahim were ready for them and Gokai Changed again. "Timeranger" cried their phones as they drew the blades their Miari counterparts.
While their teammates were chopping up the Gormin blow them, Marvelous, Luka and Don had whipped out the last of the Gormin standing in their way and were now standing before a large doorway. Behind that door, was the very nerve center of the space station. Outside of the shield generator, everything in the space station was controlled directly in that room. And that is where Xeromaru is waiting for the pirates with about twenty Gormin and two Sugormin. But there is one thing standing between them.
"Doc, what's taking so long?" asked Marvelous.
"I'm trying Marvelous." said Don. Don was trying to hardwire the doors open with his handheld devise, but he was having no luck with it.
"Forget it." said Luka now fully annoyed. "Put that down and take out your Mobirate."
"What?" asked Don.
"Take out your Mobirate." said Luka in a more demanding tone.
"Why?" asked Don.
"Just do it." ordered Luka. She couldn't see it, but Don rolled his eyes as he took out his phone and presented it to her. Luka then proceeded to open Don's Mobirate and inserted a Ranger Key in it. "Kyoryuger!" cried the phone turning Don into KyoryuGray. Don didn't understand what Luka was doing, but once she and Marvelous took hold of him it became very clear what was happening.
"Wai-wait guys! Hold on!" Don's protest were falling on deaf ears. Marvelous and Luka each took hold of an arm and a leg, lifted Don off his feet and positioned him face down. "Oh come on!" cried Don as Marvelous and Luka started using him as a battering ram. The door didn't open the first time they rammed Don's Pachycephhlosaurus protected head against it, but after the fifth time, that door busted open and Marvelous and Luka, while still carrying Don, ran right in. Once inside, Marvelous and Luka placed Don back on his feet, however, despite KyoryuGray's helmet being made to withstand blows to the head, Don was still knocked for a loop and plopped down on his butt as he returned to normal. "Was that really necessary?" asked the angered and dazed Don.
"Oh, don't be a crybaby." replied Luka. "We're in aren't we?"
"Quiet!" ordered Marvelous. Don and Luka turned their attention over to Marvelous. Marvelous was looking up and all around the control room. Luka and Don didn't notice at first but once they started to examine the control room, they saw that the ceiling was almost entirely covered in spider webs. As the three pirates were distracted by the webs, Xeromaru swooped down from behind and grabbed Don. Marvelous and Luka swung around as soon as they heard Don cry out in terror, their GokaiGuns at the ready. They weren't fast enough though, as all they could see was Xeromaru pulling Don back up into the spider webs with him. Don kicked and flailed with all his might but it was no good, Xeromaru had him in his grasp. As the Action Commander disappeared back in his webs, Marvelous and Luka began to fire desperately up at him, trying to save their green friend. "Hold on, Doc!" cried Marvelous as he and Luka did a Gokai Change. "Jetman!" cried the Mobirates, changing Marvelous and Luka into their Chojin Sentai counterparts. Once changed, Marvelous and Luka flew up to the ceiling and began slicing away at the webs with the Bringer Swords.
"You may think that you were wise to split up." said Xeromaru, his hissing voice echoing though the webs. "But your friends will soon find out that the shield generator is very well protected. And pretty soon…I'll be feasting upon all six of you." What horrors await Joe, Ahim and Gai? Let's find out.
Down at the bottom of the space station, the other Gokaigers have finally blown through all the Gormin and are now entering the control room where the shield generator is powered. But when Joe, Gai and Ahim entered the control room, they were greeted by something they didn't expect. Sitting in the middle of the room was a beautiful woman. Dressed in white kimono with a blue floral pattern, sitting on a mate, singing a low, soft melody while playing a biwa. "Welcome young warriors." said the woman. "Come, rest your wiry minds and bodies and sit with me."
The Gokaigers were in disbelief. "What is this?" asked Joe turning to Gai and Ahim.
"I don't know but this seems familiar to me for some reason." said Gai.
"Come dear pirates. Come and rest. No more reason to fight. Rest with me. Rest with me." said the woman in a talking/singing tone as she continued to play the biwa. Ahim, Joe and Gai couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on. But suddenly, the three of them felt as if something was sneaking up from behind them. The three pirates tightened their grip on their weapons. They waited a few seconds, and when their attackers were close enough, all three pirates spun around and slashed at the attackers. Several high pitched cries came whaling out of the attackers causing the woman to break the strings on her biwa. The woman looked up, and saw in horrified dismay that Joe, Gai and Ahim had counter attacked three humanoid spider like creatures that were each holding long white strands of silk. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed the woman as she shot up to her feet. "How dare you harm my children! I will kill you for this!" The woman then began to transform. First, she appeared to be growing taller, but upon looking at her feet, the three Gokaigers could see eight long spider legs emerging from underneath her kimono. The legs were then followed by a large abdomen and once she had reached her full hight, about five dozen more of the spider creatures came crawling from out of her kimono. They started out small and then grew to adult size once they touched the floor. When all of her children had emptied out of her kimono, the woman's face morphed, becoming more spider like with eight red eyes and a mouth full of razor sharp teeth.
"J-Joromugo!" cried Gai, remembering why this whole thing seemed familiar to him.
"That's Joro to you!" hissed the monster. "And those were my children that you killed!"
"What kind of mother puts her children into harms way?" asked Ahim.
"Don't yo dare insult our mother!" cried the human-sized monsters in unison. "You murdered our siblings and now we will take our revenge!" With that, several of the little monsters leapt into the air, their claws ready to strike the three pirates down. However, little did the spider monsters realize was that once they were airborne, they were easy targets for Ahim and Joe to blast with their GokaiGuns. And blast away did the pink and blue Gokaigers. Gai even got in on the acton by converting his Gokai Spear into its Gun Mode. Soon enough, all the little monsters that sprang into the air to attack the three heroes had fallen straight down to the floor dead. This of course angered their mother and siblings and it didn't take long for them to engage Gai, Ahim and Joe in combat.
Back up at the main control room, Marvelous and Luka have been flying all over the web covered ceiling trying to find Don and Xeromaru but with no luck. They have hacked and slashed away at the webs, but the silk was as thick as a jungle brush. So thick that neither saw Xeromaru when he attacked. Xeromaru sprang from the webs, not only revealing that he had four more arms but that all six were carrying katanas. Marvelous and Luka could do nothing but take three blades each to the chest. The force of the strikes not only knocked Marvelous and Luka out of the air, but they returned to their normal ranger forms once they hit the floor. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" laughed Xeromaru. "You don't really think that I am like any of the other Action Commanders, do you? I am Xeromaru. The Terror of the Raigian galaxy. Where all other Action Commanders have failed, I and I alone have su-" Xeromaru's boasting was cut off by a flurry of gun fire. Before attack Marvelous and Luka, Xeromaru had wrapped Don up in a cocoon with plans of eating him later. But little did Xeromaru know, but Don used his Gokai Saber to cut himself loose and was now blasting away at the Action Commander. Don's bolts caused the cocky commander to lose his grip on the webs and fall to the floor. Once Xeromaru was down, Don jumped down to the floor to regroup with Marvelous and Luka. But because this is Don we're talking about, he ended up belly flopping to the floor.
"Luka!" cried Marvelous as he sprang to his feet. Luka join him and the to did a Gokai Changer. "Shinkenger!" cried the phones as they became the two ShinkenReds. They then summoned the Rekka Daizantous and lit them ablaze. They then set wave after wave of fire up to the ceiling and began to burn the webs.
"No!" cried Xeromaru. "What have you done?!"
"Made it a fair fight, idiot." said Luka.
"I hope you're ready." said Marvelous, Don rejoining his crew, clutching his ribs. "Cause we're about to turn it up a notch." The three then each drew a purple Ranger Key. "Gokai Change!" cried the three, flipping open the Ranger Keys and inserting them into their phones. "ToQger!" cried Marvelous' phone turning him into ToQ7gou. "Kyoryuger!" cried Luka's turning her into KyoryuViolet. "Gekiranger!" cried Don's turning him into GekiViolet. Once the three were changed, Xeromaru raised his six swords and charged at them. As Xeromaru engaged the three, the Gormin and Sugormin sprung from their hiding places to join the battle.
Heading back down to the shield generator room, Gai, Ahim and Joe preformed their own Gokai Change. Only they turned into an all orange team. Joe became Zyuoh Bird, Ahim turned into DekaSwan and Gai became ToQ6gou. With her children falling in droves, Joro decided to engage the pirates herself. Right now, she was chasing Joe, who was flying about the room, slashing and whipping at Joro with the EagRiser. on the floor, Ahim found herself surrounded by ten of the spider monsters. Right before they could strike, Ahim used DekaSwan's Swan Illusion technique and distracted them with a flurry of swan feathers. The spider monsters were confused at first, but quickly recovered as each one had the DekaSwan Ahim in their sights. When they sprang forward to attack, Ahim sprang forward to counter attack them. However, the spider monsters weren't really attacking Ahim. They were attacking each other. Ahim used the Swan Illusion to turn the ten monsters into DekaSwans and ended up killing each other once they landed their blows. The real Ahim was at the main control panel powering down the shield. The rest of the spider monsters were fighting Gai who was cutting them down one by one with the Yudo Breaker. When the last monster fell, Joro took her attention off of Joe and screamed out in anger. "YOU LITTLE BASTARD! I'LL SKIN YOU ALIVE FOR THAT!" As Joro jumped down to the floor, Joe swooped in, swung the EagRiser around and wrapped it around Joro's neck. As Joe landed on the back of Joro's abdomen, he began to pull back hard, forcing the evil songstress on her rear four legs. As Joro struggled to free herself from the EagRiser, Gai loaded the Drill Reesha into the Yudo Breaker. Once the Breaker was charged for it's energy drill attack, Gai jumped up and stabbed Joro in the chest. As Joro screamed out in pain, Joe pulled back on the EagRiser and beheaded Joro.
As the headless Joro fell to the floor dead, Ahim had finished powering down the shield generator. After returning to her normal Ranger form, Ahim got on her Mobirate and called up Mai, informing her that the shield was down. Back on Karamindo, the Army of New Famille had all but wiped out a few squads of Gormin that had retreated behind the base shield. The New Famille Army would have followed except that the shield disintegrates anything that isn't a Zangyack. So the Gormin spent a good half hour or so taunting the Army of New Famille from the security of the shield. But once Mai had received word that the shield was down, the New Famille forces blew away taunting Gormin in a matter of seconds.
Back on the space station, Marvelous, Luka and Don had taken out the Gormin and were now focusing on destroying the Sugormin. First, Luka and Marvelous attacked each one by slashing the Sugormin with the Gaburu Cannon Bayonet and the ToQ Blaster in Kirimasu mode. With the Sugormin stunned, Don powered up and finished the two Zangyack officers with the Wolf-Wolf Bullet. As the two Sugormin exploded, Xeromaru turned to the main control panel and began to target a New Famille ship. But before he even got a chance to power up the super laser, Luka and Marvelous converted their weapons to their gun modes and blasted the control panel. Xeromaru yelled in pain as he was electrocuted as the panel exploded. "You sons of bitches! You'll pay for that!" yelled Xeromaru.
"Yeah, yeah, we'll add this to the list of things we're going to pay for." said Marvelous sarcastically. Just then, there was a sudden banging noise coming near the entrance of the room. As the four combatants looked to where the sound came from, a secret door came busting down and Gai, Joe and Ahim came walking out out of it.
"Hey," began Don as he Marvelous and Luka returned to their normal Ranger forms, "where did you guys come from?"
"We found this secret elevator in the generator room." said Joe.
"The elevator itself was going too slow for our liking so we decided to grapple up." explained Gai.
"Wait, wait, wait. The three of you got passed Joro?" said Xeromaru. "And her children?"
"Yes." said Ahim stepping toward the Action Commander. "And we powered down the shield too."
"No!" yelled Xeromaru.
"Yes." answered Gai. "And now it's time to finish you off." Gai then drew a silver Ranger Key from his belt. "Let's use this team guys." The other Gokaigers agreed and drew their corresponding Ranger Keys. They then lined up and cried out "Gokai Change!" in unison. "Go-Buster!" cried the phones beginning Kazoku Sentai's transformation into the Tokumei Sentai. First, the a pair of sunglasses emerged from each of the phones followed by several long data streams. The data streams engulfed the Gokaigers turning them into the Go-Busters. Marvelous, Joe and Luka were total changed into their counterparts, save for the sunglasses visors. Don and Gai were from the neck down, changed into Beet and Stag Buster and Ahim, save for the sunglasses, was as the unofficial Phantom Thief Pink Buster. Finally, after crying out, "Let's Morphin'!" the sunglasses came to their faces, completing the transformation. "Tokumei Sentai…" began Marvelous "Go-Buster!" finished all six. "Busters, ready…Go!" cried Marvelous as the six charged at Xenomaru.
Xenomaru drew and raised his six kitanas, ready to strike the pirates but they dodged the blades. While the others rolled out of the way, Ahim jumped up and landed, sitting on Xeromaru's shoulders. When Xeromaru looked up, Ahim jabbed her thumbs into two of his eyes. She rolled off of as he cried out in pain. When Ahim was out of the way, the other Gokaigers took out the Go-Busters Ichigan Busters and Morphin Blasters and fired on the Action Commander. As Xeromaru was stepping back as the laser bolts hit him, Ahim snuck up behind him, crouched down and Xeromaru tripped over Ahim. Xeromaru, now in a full rage, rolled onto his stomach, turned his abdomen to the Buster pirates and unloaded his venom at them. The Gokaigers jumped out of the way, avoiding the venom. Good thing to, cause when it hit touched the floor, it eat through it an continued down to nearly the bottom. Right as Xeromaru was getting back on his feet, Ahim latched herself onto one of his bottom arms and applied an arm-breaker to him. It didn't seemed to be working as Xeromaru got back to his feet and began to shake his arm furiously, trying to get Ahim off of him. Taking advantage of this distraction, the other five Gokaigers attacked Xeromaru with the Sougan Blades and DriBlades. Xeromaru took a few blows from each of the five but was quickly able to recover and start to hold his own against the pirates. After fighting in a stalemate for a few minutes, Marvelous, Joe and Luka activated the Go-Buster's GB Custom Visors and transformed in Red, Blue and Yellow Busters' super mode. The added power proved to be very helpful as the five Gokai Go-Busters were now overwhelming Xeromaru. As Xeromaru began to lose ground in the sword fight, Ahim pried the sword from Xeromaru's hand and ran him through with it. Keeling over in pain, Xeromaru was left defenseless for what was coming next. First Gai and Don lead the final assault on the last Action Commander with a pair of slashes with the DriBlades, followed by Joe and Luka slashing Xeromaru with their Sougan Blades. Marvelous finished this part of the attack by slashing Xeromaru three times and finally, Ahim blew away Xeromaru with the Lio Attache. Xeromaru let out on final cry of anger and pain before collapsing to the floor and exploding.
"That's it!" cried a happy Gai as the Gokaigers returned to their normal Ranger forms. "That the last of the Action Commanders!"
"Alright, it's time to blow this place into space dust." said Marvelous. "Doc, is there a quick way off of this thing?"
"Yes, there's a observatory right above us." said Don. With there business done, the Gokaigers took the elevator up to the observatory and called for their Kaizo Fighters to picked them up. Once they boarded their mechs and flew away, Ahim gave the order for the fleet to destroy the space station. With the last storage facility taken, it seems as if the Gokaigers and the Army have finally defeated the Zangyack Empire once and for all. But unfortunately for our heroes, the Zangyack had one more ace up its sleeve.
If you are wondering if this is the end of the story, the answer is no. There is still more to come. Stay tuned.
