Chapter 13: Desperate Measures Part 1

The battle of New Famille is turning towards the Gokaiger's favor. Despite suffering crippling loses, the New Famille Army is bouncing back strong. Up in space, the New Famille fleet has wiped out the first wave of Zangyack ships and were now working on the second wave. Down in the skies of New Famille, General Ozi, Commander Mordo and the all of the New Famille fighter squadrons have all but eradicated the Zangyack fighters and on the ground, the Gormin and Sugormin are losing their numbers, fast.

Marvelous was leading a platoon of Kumakray in a rampage against a large number of Gormin. The Gormin tried to gang up on the Kumakray soldiers like they have been, but with the EagRiser in hand, Marvelous prevented this by whipping the Gormin off the mighty bears. "Yasei Kaiho!" cried Marvelous, spreading ZyuohEagle's wings. Marvelous took to the air, slashing and whipping Gormin as he flew by. At one point, a Zangyack star fighter got on his tail. Did Marvelous panic. Hell no. He stopped in midair and used the EagRiser to slice off one of the Zangyack fighter's wings. The Zangyack fighter crashed near Don and Luka, who, along side a group of Kappakanons were cutting down Gormin left and right with the Zyuoh Busters in sword mode. Don distracted the Gormin with his usual run away bit. This distraction allowed Luka and the Kappakanon soldiers to cut down the Zangyack soldiers. Don, of course, did cut down a few himself. Not far from Don and Luka, Ahim was busy kicking ass with a squad of soldiers from the original Famille. Needless to say, the original Famillians were enjoying the fact that they were avenging their old home while defending their new one. When the last of this batch of Gormin fell, Ahim engaged a Sugormin. However, one Gormin was not dead yet and tried to attack Ahim while her back was turned. He didn't get the chance to attack Ahim as Mai leaped in and ran the Gormin through the chest with her sword. After pulling the her sword out, Mai aided her cousin with the Sugormin. Though the Sugormin proved to be a tough opponent, the royal cousins were able to fight past his defenses and cut him down. When Ahim and Mai were finished with the Sugormin, they lead their troops to where Joe and Gai were battling a group of fifty Gormin. The two pirates were struggling a little with the Gormin, but once they got reenforced by Ahim and Mai's group, the Gormin began to drop like flies.

Once the fifty Gormin fell, Ahim and the others were confronted by a Gormin firing squad that was ready to open fire upon our heroes. They never got one shot off as Gai used the Zyuoh GunRod to whip the guns out of the Gormin's hands. When all the Gormin were unarmed, Joe, Ahim and Mai rushed the Zangyack soldiers along with their squad of Famillian soldiers. As the Gormin firing squad was getting cut up, a second firing squad readied themselves to try to shoot the Famillian warriors. Right as they were lining up though, Don and Luka's group came in from behind and wrecked them. While his comrades were cutting up Gormin, Gai took out Zyuoh The Light, Zyuoh The World's transformation devise and switched the cube to the crocodile side. "Wh~ao Crocodile!" cried Zyuoh The Light turning Gai into Zyuoh The World's Crocodile form. Gai then converted the Zyuoh The GunRod into it's Spear mode and went after a squad of Gormin by himself. Gai held the GunRod horizontally and rammed it into the stomachs of the four Gormin, carrying them along as he continued to run. The more Gai ran, the more Gormin were lifted off their feet and being pushed along by Gai. After picking up fifty or sixty Gormin, Gai used Crocodile mode's super strength and tossed all the Gormin into a another squad of Gormin, knocking all the Zankyack soldiers down. Gai then took Zyuoh TheLight out again and turned the cube to the wolf side. "Wh~ao Wolf!" cried the flashlight turning Gai into Zyuoh TheWorld's Wolf form. Using this form's super speed, Gai knocked dozens of Gormin on their asses before they even realized what happened to them. After stopping in front of another squad of Gormin, Gai converted the Zyuoh GunRod to its gun mode and unloaded a hellacious payload upon the Zangyack soldiers. When there were eight Gormin, Marvelous whooped in and took the Gormin out with Zyuoh Eagle's Riser Spinning Slash causing them to explode. As Marvelous landed next to Gai, five Sugormin appeared where the eight Gormin were, ready to take on the two pirates. "Zyuoh Sla~sh!" cried a voice coming from behind Marvelous and Gai. It was the other Gokaigers and Mai. The five lept over Marvelous and Gai and sliced the Sugormin clean in half as they came down. As the Sugormin exploded, another Gormin firing squad lined up to get the jump on the seven warriors. But the Gokaigers were ready for them. By converting the Zyuoh Busters to their gun modes, Marvelous, Joe, Ahim, Don and Luka charged the busters up for the Zyuoh Shoot while Gai charged up the Zyuoh GunRod for the Zyuoh The Burst. As the pirates were charging their weapons, several Gormin tried to sneak up and attack the six from behind. Mai however, had the Kaizoku Sentai's backs and blasted the Gormin with her own Gokai Gun. Once the Zyuohger weapons were fully charged, the Gokaigers pulled the triggers firering six cube shaped energy bullets at the Gormin. The Zangyack soldiers could do nothing but take the energy cubes and explode.

After that group of Gormin was delt with, the Gokaigers set their sites on another group of Zangyack soldiers. "Yasei Kaiho!" cried the Goakigers accessing full strength of the Doubutsu Sentai. Before Gai could join the rest of his team, he had to return to Zyuoh The World's normal form. Once he was back the rhino form, Gai cried out "Yasei Dai Kaioh!" and unlocked Zyuoh The World's strongest from. As for Marvelous, he flipped the eagle face mask up and transformed into Zyuoh Gorilla. Once the Zyuohger's instincts were fully awakened, the Gokaigers charged at the Gormin with Mai following close behind. Gai lead the charge, using the World The Crash finisher to bulldoze his way through the Gormin and Sugormin. While still running, Gai swipped a Sugormin with his enlarged claws and then followed up by back handing three Gormin with the crocodile tail. Ahim and Luka followed suit, slashing Gormin as they went with their claws. When they came across a Sugormin, the two Gokai ladies cris-crossed each other, slashing the Sugormin along the way. Not too far away from Ahim and Luka, Mai and Don were neck deep in Gormin. Mai took care of the Gormin with her blade while Don used Zyuoh Elephant's enlarged feet to kick the Sugormin and send them flying. At one point an entire platoon of Gormin swarmed on the two. However, before they could get their evil little hands on the two heroes, Joe came somersaulting in and cut the first wave down like a buzzsaw. When he was done, Joe dived down into the ground, which rippled like water once he touched it. With Joe out of the way, Don ducked down so that Mai could blast the second wave of Gormin with her Gokai Gun. After the second wave was gunned down, Joe emerged from the ground, picked Mai up and carried her into the air. With Joe and Mai out of the way, Don jumped up, stomped his feet to the ground and sent a shock wave through the ground which wiped out the final wave of that platoon of Gormin. A few yards away the trio, Marvelous was pummeling squad after squad of Gormin to a pulp. It didn't matter if they were Gormin or Sugormin, Marvelous smashed each and every Zangyack soldier that dared to step up to him. Two Gormin tried to attack Marvelous at once, but the captain just raised his enlarged first, bashed the two Gormin on the top of the head and drilled them into the ground like a couple of spikes. At one point a New Famille fighter zoom over Marvelous' head with a Zangyack fighter on its tail. Seeing this, Marvelous picked up a Sugormin and threw it at the Zangyack fighter. The Sugormin could do nothing but flail about as he crashed into the Zangyack fighter's jet engine. As the Zangyack fighter crashed to the ground, Marvelous summoned the Whale Change Gun, flipped it open and pulled back on the charging handle. "Wh~ao Whale!" cried the Whale Change Gun as Marvelous pulled the triggered and turned into Zyuoh Whale.

When Marvelous was fully transformed into Zyuoh Whale, three squads of Gormin tried to attack the pirate captain at once. As the Zangyack soldiers approached the captain, Marvelous pumped the charging handle three times and raised the Whale Charge Gun into the air. Marvelous pulled the trigger and a stream of laser beams spouted out of the barrel like water from a whale's blowhole. The energy beams rained down on the Gormin and all three squads went up in a fantastic blaze. With the Gormin out of the way, Marvelous pumped the charging handle in rapid succession. When he was finished, Marvelous pointed the Whale Change Gun towards the sky and pulled the triggered, releasing a powerful energy stream. The force behind the energy stream was so powerful, that the ground underneath Marvelous cracked apart. The energy stream shot straight up into space, zoomed passed the New Famille fleet and straight for the Zangyack fleet. The New Famille fleet had just wiped the last of the Zangyack fleet's second wave and the thrid wave was on its way to engage the New Famille fleet. Before they could however, the energy stream interceped the Zangyach fleet's thrid wave and began to take them out. The stream zigged and zagged, circling the entire planet at least three dozen times, taking out five, six, seven, even eight Zangyack ships at a time. Once the final Zangyack ship was destroyed, the energy stream turn towards Merina's capital ship and made a B-line for it.

"FULL POWER TO THE FORWARD SHIELDS!" screamed Merina as the energy stream approached. The Gormin on the bridge did as they were ordered and got the forward shields up right in the nick of time. When the stream hit the shield, it pushed the capital ship back, passed the rest of the Zangyack fleet. Despite having blown away a good chuck of the Zangyack fleet, the energy stream still had enough strength to start breaking through the capital ship's shield. "THRUSTERS AT MAXIMUM POWER!" cried the Grand Duchess. The Gormin pilots complied with the order and once the thrusters were at maximum power, the capital ship stopped dead in its tracks. The Zangyack capital ship was in a dead heat with the energy stream. Neither the stream or the ship was giving an inch and the shield that was separating them wasn't going to hold for much longer. AUXILIARY POWER TO THE SHIELDS!" cried Merina.

"But Grand Duchess!" cried Marces.

"DO IT!" ordered Merina. With the reinforced power, the shield was able to stabilize and hold the stream back. Eventually, the stand still came to an end when the energy stream and the shield exploded, causing the capital ship to fly backwards again. The capital ship flew back about one hundred feet before the Gormin on the bridge were able to stabilize it again. "Status report!" ordered Merina.

"The ship is damaged but we are still able to fly." said Marces.

"And our forces?" asked the Grand Duchess.

"Only one thrid of our fleet remain maidam." reported Marces. "More then half of the Gormin on the planet have been destroyed and they have lost all air cover."

"All of it!?" cried Merina.

"All of it." said Marces. To make matters worse for the Zangyack fleet, General Ozi had just converted the Gokai Galleon into Gokai-Oh and was making his way into space with Commander Mordo in GoZyuDrill and the rest of the New Famille fighter squadrons right behind him. "Is the weapon ready yet?" asked Merina.

"Yes maim." said Marces.

"Then get out of my way!" said Merina pushing Marces aside and walking to the front control panel and started flipped a few switches. A devise, similar to the one Insarn used to grow the Action Commanders, emerged from the panel. Merina then pulled a gun from the panel that was connected to the panel by a strand of wires and pointed it towards the screen. After targeting the approaching New Famille fleet, Merina then pulled the trigger, activating the weapon. This weapon was a pair of repurposed enlarging cannons that fired a pair of white lasers that are strong enough to destroy entire planets if its full power is ever unleashed. As badly as Merina wanted to completely blow away New Famille, she knew that the Zangyack need to recover their stolen treasure if they are to have any hope to rebuild the Empire, so the laser was set to about twenty percent. Despite being only at one fifth of its full power, the lasers were still powerful enough to take out dozens of star ships with one shot. And the first things Grand Duchess Merina chose to open fire on was the quickly approaching Gokai-Oh, GoZyuDrill and the large number of New Famille star fighters following them. The beams also emitted a powerful shockwave that, even if the beams didn't hit their target, could rip whatever was in their general area apart. And that is exactly what happen to Ozi and Mordo. Despite the fact that they dodged the beams, the shockwave shredded a good portion of Gokai-Oh and GoZyuJin up. Ozi was able to curl Gokai-Oh up in a short of fettle position so that the limbs took the brunt of the shockwave. Because of this, Ozi was able to protect the body and convert Gokai-Oh back into the Gokai Galleon and fly out of the line of fire. Mordo however, wasn't so lucky. The shockwave not only tore up a good chunk of GoZyuDrill, but sent GoZyuDrill spinning out of control back towards the planet. As for the star fighters following the two, most of them were destroyed. With the two mechs out of the way, Grand Duchess Merina made some adjustments to the weapon and set the scope to target New Famille.
