{Intro song is Body Bag by Beartooth}

(One life, one decision) A light glides across a dark room before stopping on YellowPhantom and PinkPhantom.

(One life, one decision) A light glides across a dark room before stopping on BluePhantom and GreenPhantom.

(One life, one decision. Make sure it ends with you still living!) A light glides across a dark room before stopping on RedPhantom. RedPhantom then looked towards the screen before slashing it with his AgniBowblade.

(Music playing) The elements of the Phantomrangers dance around the screen while the Phantom Medals fall to the ground.

(1, 2, 1, 2, 3, go) The Phantom Medals hit the ground and revealed the words Spirit Sentai Phantomranger written in the elements and colors of each Phantomranger.

(How does it feel at the bottom of the barrel) Casey is in the library of her college with many papers scattered on the table in front of her. She then sighs and leans back in annoyance.

(All your friends don't care, no your friends don't care at all) Jason is at a skatepark failing to perform a trick and hurting himself. A group of people laughed at Jason and he hit the ground in frustration.

(How does it feel at the bottom of the barrel) Axis and Kizu are at their job finishing up cleaning when someone makes a big mess. Axis pinched the bridge of his nose while Kizu frowned.

(All your friends don't care, no your friends don't care at all) Paul B walked alone on the sidewalk, no one taking notice of him or acknowledging he was there.

(Rejected, rejected. You're never gonna be the one respected) Each Phantomranger is shown looking at their Spirit Changer with either sadness or unease.

(Infected, infected. This is the way that every life has ended) Each Phantomranger looked up to see Ben standing in front of them with a smirk.

(No, no! This life will swallow you whole!) Each Phantomranger gained determined looks before they all appeared side by side looking forward at three people.

(No, no! This life will swallow you whole!) The three people were revealed to be Kou, Corvus, and Xiya. The Phantomrangers readied themselves then put their Phantom medals into their Spirit Changers.

(If I could set the clocks back, I wouldn't be heading for a body bag) BluePhantom kicked two Husks then she shot three that were charging towards her. GreenPhantom flew around on his hoverboard, hitting several husks along the way.

(One life and one decision, make sure it ends with you still living) RedPhantom slashes two husks then shoots energy arrows at three husks that were about to attack both GreenPhantom and BluePhantom.

(Feel like I'm on the fast track to laying face down from a heart attack) YellowPhantom cut down several Husks then he punched one across the face. PinkPhantom kicked two Husks then he fell down and was about to be hit by a Husks. YellowPhantom moved to help PinkPhantom but couldn't due to having to fight another Husks

(One life and one decision, make sure it ends with you still living) RedPhantom slashed the Husks then helped PinkPhantom stand up. Yellow, Green, and BluePhantom regrouped with the two then the group looked forward.

(Make sure it ends with you still living) Kou, Corvus, and Xiya stood in front of the group with an army of Husks behind them.

(Music plays) The Phantomrangers readied their weapons then charged at the army. The trio of villains charged at the Phantomrangers. RedPhantom then slashed at the trio.

(Make sure it ends with you still living!) The screen then shows the title Spirit Sentai Phantomranger in the Phantomrangers elements and colors.


Two weeks after the last chapter, Casey was at a basketball court with Paul B, Jason, Kizu, Axis and Ben. All six people wore athletic clothing. Kizu and Casey didn't have any makeup on them and only had earrings on.

"So Ben, why are we on a Basketball court?"Casey asked.

"Because, after you all successfully made PhantomKaiser it took me a bit to come up with a way for you all to become more acclimated as a team. So I thought, why not have a game of basketball to teach you guys to work as a team.",Ben explained.

"I think we've become a better team since we've started."Jason commented while raising a finger.

"While true, there's always room for improvement. Now it's gonna be two on two matches with Jason and Paul being on the first team going against Casey and Kizu."Ben said while picking up a basketball. Axis walked over to Ben and asked,"So what do I do?"

"You stay over here and look pretty. Loser gets you next game.",Ben replied. Axis shrugged then stood next to Ben, watching as his four comrades played basketball. He then looked at Ben and asked,"Is it because I'm tall?"

"Yep.",Ben immediately replied.

After a few minutes, Paul B and Jason won the game and they high-fived while Kizu sat on the ground breathing heavily along with Casey. Ben and Axis walked up to the four with Ben saying,"Nice work you all. Kizu, Casey did you learn anything out there?"

"Īe.",Kizu said.

"Besides that I suck at sports? No nothing really.",Casey said while sitting down. Ben chuckled before explaining,"What you should've learned is that when on the battlefield, communication is always needed. Paul and Jason were great at doing this even if they didn't talk most of the time."

Casey and Kizu nodded then groaned when Ben told them to stand up. Jason and Paul B readied themselves while Kizu and Casey did the same with Axis. Ben was about to throw the ball in but then he and the others heard shouting coming from not too far away. The group turned to the origin of the shouting and saw Daggon looking around. Ben raised an eyebrow,"What the bloody hell?"

"That's Daggon."Jason said before he and the other Phantomrangers ran towards Daggon. Ben looked confused but followed the group. Daggon stayed where he was sniffing the air, then he sniffed the air once more and said,"Huh? Why do I smell something familiar?"

Daggon turned around and saw the Phantomrangers nearing him. He relaxed slightly and waved while saying,"Oh, it's you Brave sun kite."

The Phantomrangers stopped in front of Daggon and Jason immediately said,"My name is Jason Knight. It's not hard to say."

Daggon nodded, then he looked at the other four Phantomrangers and said,"You four are the ones who fought the monster right? The one that was that house."

"Yeah that was us. I'm Paul B, leader of the Spirit Sentai.",Paul B said with his usual smile.

"I'm Casey, the second in command and brains.",Casey said, which caused Paul B to look at her with some offense. Daggon looked at Paul B and Casey while nodding, then he suddenly said,"Okay then I can use you all."

"Wait a sec buddy. What do you mean by use us?",Axis asked, suspicious of Daggon.

"I got the smell of a monster around here and I need your help with finding it. This one smells powerful like the house one except this one will be mine to fight.",Daggon said. The Phantomrangers were slightly frightened by Daggon's tone. Ben walked up to Daggon and examined him before saying,"What's with the mask?"

Daggon looked Ben up and down and then he said,"Who are you?"

"I'm Ben, think of me as a teacher/mentor of the Phantomrangers."Ben said casually. Daggon nodded, then he jumped back before leaping towards Ben and shouting,"SHARK CHOP!"

Ben dodged Daggon's hand chop then he dodged three more before blocking a kick from the masked man. Daggon then flipped away from Ben and he chuckled before saying,"I like you! You're fit to be a teacher, Ben!"

"You get his name right but not mine?",Jason said with annoyance.

"Shut up Brain Gum. I am speaking with your elder.",Daggon said. Ben chuckled then he looked at the Phantomrangers saying,"I like this guy. Why don't you all go help him with this Specter he's looking for."

"Eh, you want us to?"Paul B questioned.

"What about the basketball game?"Jason questioned.

"We can finish those up another time. Right now, lives are at stake if that Specter is left to its own devices."Ben said. The Phantomrangers nodded, then they all jumped in surprise when Daggon yelled,"HA HA HA HA! GREAT!"

Daggon then told the Phantomrangers to follow him and he began running across the street, easily jumping over cars and people. The Phantomrangers followed, all of them having dumbfounded expressions on their faces.


At a pool hall, Xiya was playing pool by herself when Kou and Corvus entered the pool hall. Xiya groaned then she said,"Why are you guys here?"

"Anata wa mada watashitachi no mokuteki ni nani mo kōken shite imasen."Kou said while crossing her arms. (Translation: You've yet to contribute anything to our cause.)

"Huh? I've contributed okay, I just don't want to be wasting my time creating weak little Specters that'll get beaten by the Phantomrangers.",Xiya explained, focusing on the pool game and not looking at her two comrades. Corvus gained an intrigued look then said,"You sound as if you've made a Specter recently?"

Xiya looked up at Corvus and smirked,"I have and this one has already done some good."

"Well then, why don't you show us your Specter?",Corvus suggested. Xiya shrugged then she, Corvus, and Kou left the pool hall together.


Back with the Phantomrangers and Daggon, the six had walked a fair distance and had now stopped in front of a school. Daggon looked at the school and chuckled in his usual crazed laughter,"The monster is in here. Its scent is strong."

Daggon was about to walk into the school but Axis grabbed his shoulder, stopping him. Daggon looked up at Axis as Axis said,"Hold up there beast boy. You can't just walk into a school."

"School? What's that?",Daggon asked.

"It's what this building is. It is a place where children can get an education.",Kizu explained politely. Daggon turned to Kizu and grunted in confusion.

"Haven't you been to school?"Casey questioned. Daggon shook his head, then he proudly said,"I've never heard of school."

"How have you never heard of school?"Jason said.

"I was in a different country then some men found me and they forced me here. This place is still so weird to me but it's a new place for me to conquer! I welcome the challenge,"Daggon explained.

"That doesn't explain anything."Casey said.

"It does!"Daggon yelled while turning his head to Casey.

"Oi oi, calm down Daggon. We are just trying to get to know you better."Paul B said in a calming tone. Daggon looked Paul B up and down then he looked at Casey before saying,"You should be more like your mate."

"Mate?"Casey and Paul B questioned.

"It's obvious that you both are mates and wish to have children together. I can smell it."Daggon said while crossing his arms. Paul B and Casey blushed then they both began speaking in unison and denying Daggon's claims. Axis, Kizu, and Jason just watched the exchange, each having a dumbfounded expression on their face, then Axis said,"This guy definitely has a screw loose."

"Yeh/Hai."Jason and Kizu said in unison. Suddenly, the group heard screaming coming from inside the school. Daggon chuckled, then he readied himself before saying,"BEETLE RUSH!"

Daggon dashed forwards, breaking the school's front door entirely and scaring the front desk staff. He listened for the screaming and he ran further into the hallway looking up towards the second floor when he heard more screaming. The Phantomrangers caught up to Daggon and Jason said,"Daggon, you can't keep busting down doors like that."

"Shut up, grave gun.",Daggon said while listening. He then ran towards the stairs and jumped over the guard railing easily before going up the rest of them incredibly fast. The Phantomrangers followed Daggon with Casey asking,"What is this guy?"

"Don't know, didn't really ask him when we were trapped in that House Specter.",Jason said. The five youths then stopped in the hallway as they saw an entire class run out of their classroom. Paul B stopped one of the students and asked,"What's going on?"

"Our teacher just turned into a monster then some guy in a weird mask broke in and began fighting him."The student said fearfully. Paul B nodded, then he turned to Axis and Kizu,"Axis, Kizu help everyone get off this floor. Jason and Casey let's go get Daggon before he gets creamed by the Specter."

Axis, Kizu, Jason, and Casey nodded, then they, along with Paul B took out their Phantom Medals and said,"Phantomise." while putting them into their Spirit Changers.

YellowPhantom and PinkPhantom began evacuating the other classes while RedPhantom, BluePhantom, and GreenPhantom ran towards the classroom Daggon was in. Once they entered the classroom, they saw Daggon being thrown across the room into a bookshelf by a Specter that was slightly larger than the others they've previously fought. This Specter was humanoid and looked to be made out of stone but also some kind of crystal. This Specter had one large pink eye and its hands had claws at the end of each finger.

RedPhantom and GreenPhantom charged at the Specter and began to fight it while BluePhantom went over to Daggon. She knelt down saying,"You okay?"

Daggon sprung to his feet, startling BluePhantom, then he looked at her and said,"Why are you here? You should be fighting with your mate."

BluePhantom stood up and said defensively,"Paul isn't my mate! I mean we're friends and he's my roommate but we're not romantically involved."

Daggon stayed silent briefly then he said,"You use too many big words. I'll go fight the monster and save your mate for you." before he charged at the Specter. Daggon managed to tackle the Specter then he punched it twice before he was punched in the gut three times and slammed into the teacher's desk. RedPhantom grabbed the Specter and tried to move it away from Daggon but ended up being grabbed by the throat and tackled out the window.

"Paul!"BluePhantom yelled with concern. GreenPhantom summoned his Njordboard and used it to fly down to a courtyard area of the school and help RedPhantom. RedPhantom was dazed and was slashed by the Specter three times before he was kicked backwards.

GreenPhantom flew down and tried to hit the Specter with his board but the Specter ended up dodging it many times. It then grabbed the Njordboard, causing GreenPhantom to go sailing off of it.

The Specter tossed the Njordboard aside then moved towards RedPhantom and GreenPhantom but it was then shot in the back by a charging BluePhantom. BluePhantom shot the Specter several times then she narrowly dodged three slashes from the Specter's claws before she was kneed in the gut. The Specter began to laugh evilly as it grabbed BluePhantom by the neck then slashed her several times and tossed her towards RedPhantom and GreenPhantom.

Xiya, Corvus, and Kou walked up to the school just in time to see YellowPhantom and PinkPhantom try to fight the Specter. Xiya smirked while smugly saying,"See, my Specter is so strong it's effortlessly dealing with the Phantomrangers."

The Specter punched both PinkPhantom and YellowPhantom so hard they went backwards towards their team. The Specter then put its hands together and fired a blast of pink energy towards the Phantomrangers. Red quickly got up and took the blast to his chest, being thrown backwards and reverting into Paul B. BluePhantom immediately went to Paul B's side and placed his head in her lap while he gritted his teeth and held his chest in pain.

The Specter laughed evilly then it began charging up another energy blast when it was hit with a desk by Daggon. Daggon hit the Specter with the desk two more times then the Specter destroyed the desk. Daggon then flipped backwards, avoiding being slashed, and he chuckled.

"Oi, monster. You're going to fight me and only me. You will also die by me!",Daggon proclaimed, standing proudly with his fists on his hips.

"Daggon, this thing is pretty strong. You can't beat it just by hitting it.",GreenPhantom said while slowly getting up.

"SHUT UP MAIN PUN!",Daggon yelled, causing GreenPhantom to fall back down. Xiya, Corvus, and Kou looked at Daggon with intrigue and confusion.

"I will defeat this monster and show it my strength.",Daggon proclaimed before lifting his left arm and having his BeastCycler facing the Specter. Daggon revealed a Phantom medal that was orange, navy blue and cyan around the edge with a claws mark symbol in the middle that was colored orange, navy blue and cyan. He put the Phantom Medal into his Beast Cycler causing it to announce in an excited and alto toned male voice,"BEAST MEDAL INSERTED! READY TO RAMPAGE!"

Daggon then wound his arm back and shouted,"Beastialize!" before he punched the air, using his other hand to push the lever on his Beast Cycler down as well.

"BEASTIALIZE!"

A black undersuit appeared on Daggon's body then a navy blue aura came out of his right arm and formed into a gorilla before it collided with his right shoulder, forming into a shoulder pad that looked a navy blue helmet that was modeled after a gorilla gritting its teeth and had a cyan visor. A cyan aura came out of Daggon's left arm and formed into a shark before it collided with his left shoulder forming into a shoulder pad that looked like a cyan helmet that was modeled after a shark gritting its teeth and had an orange visor. An orange aura came out of Daggon's body and formed into a rhino beetle before colliding with his body. This formed an orange sleeveless tabard that had a navy blue right side, a cyan left side, a popped collar, and a large v neck on his torso, orange arm guards that had a navy blue stripe on the right wrist, orange boots that were navy blue on the right side of the calf and cyan on the left side, a belt around his waist which was navy blue on the right side, cyan on the left side and had an orange buckle in the middle. On Daggon's head was an orange helmet that was modeled after a rhino beetle with a horn on the forehead, a blue visor that was shaped like scowling pair goggles, and a blue mouthplate.

As Daggon gained his suit, his Beast Cycler announced,"{Tribal rock music} HERE HE IS! NOW IT'S TIME! FOR THE PHANTOMCHIMERA TO SHINE!"

Xiya, Kou, and Corvus all gained surprised expressions at the sight of Daggon's new suit. The Phantomrangers all gasped while never taking their eyes off of Daggon.

Daggon flexed his right arm while saying,"Great strength and agility of the gorilla."

Daggon did chopping motions with his left arm while saying,"The speed and cutting of the shark."

Daggon then hit his head with his fist before head banging then saying,"The armor and might of the beetle."

Daggon then beat on his chest before punching his own hand and saying,"PhantomChimera has arrived!"
