A/N: Here is Chapter 38… I hope you enjoy it… please look at the disclaimer below.
DISCLAIMER: This chapter, as amazing as it was to write, will contain sensitive information to gun violence and more. This chapter is worth the read. However, viewer discretion is advised… technically this would have been an M Rated chapter. If you choose to ignore this statement, that's up to you but you've been warned… literally :)
"Because of Greyrock's demise…," said Quazer, turning to the nine of them, "The rangers have started a war with us. When we are asked to deliver judgment, you will carry it out on them and the planet. If we can erase the rangers, we can do our duty."
"Well…," said Ogre, "I hope it's me."
"Patience," said Groudian, turning to him, "Then again, that never was your thing to begin with."
"Why, I oughta-," Ogre started to say, until a flash of light appeared behind them.
A golden aura was shining, deep in the catacombs of the Hades Pantheon. It was the perfect time for the nine creatures to stand together. They decided to put their weapons together in the center of the field. Closing their eyes, a golden aura was shining on Steelclops. Steelclops looked up as he turned to the creatures. He put a black cartridge into his weapon as he walked toward the group.
"Do your best… Steelclops," Jirinx said.
"It will be my pleasure," said Steelclops.
Persha turned around as she looked at Lation when they broke apart, "He's so silent."
"His rifle does the talking," said Lation. As Lation went to continue, he was rudely interrupted by Ogre, turning to the group. He threw his trident to the ground as Jirinx turned around.
"What's with you?" Jirinx asked.
"Why can't I go up there and destroy them? Specifically, the Poké Rangers!" he yelled.
He turned around as Dios and Regorn went to speak with him. Dios crossed his arms as he looked at Ogre and Regorn nodded as he turned to him.
"I would go," Regorn said.
"Yeah… me first," said Dios.
"No… me!" shouted Regorn.
As the three creatures started to argue, Jirinx sighed as she took out her wand, and released a white flash of light, blinding them for a few seconds. She looked at them as she shook her head, "You impudent fools! Do you want to revive Master Hades? Then follow the rules!"
Regorn walked over as he turned to her, "Oh yeah… good idea. Let us get hunted down by those rangers when we can take them down at once! I favor we do it!"
"I veto it!"
Regorn turned around. He stood there, frozen as Quazer stood over him. Quazer pushed him against the wall as Regorn started to freak out. He then threw the creature on the floor.
"If you go out and not follow the rules, I will kill you myself," he said.
Regorn nodded rapidly as he started to walk away. Persha took a huge breath as she looked at Lation and then at the group.
Meanwhile…
"Stay still," said Urara, taking some scissors as she turned to Woodmodore. Woodmodore looked at Urara as she started trimming some leaves from his head and arms. Woodmodore looked up as the pink ranger placed a mirror in front of him, "Well?"
Woodmodore noticed the weird hairdo. His leaves were basically gelled and swirled, rather than straight. He looked at Urara, "I look hideous."
"It's a new dew!" she said, "I like it."
"Swirly… not my thing," said Woodmodore, "I guess it's the thought that counts."
Rachel walked into the Mystic Library, bringing home bags of food. As she stepped in the library, she noticed Woodmodore's new haircut. Rachel tried to take a breather as she went to walk away. However, she turned to Urara.
"Where are the others?" asked Rachel.
"Currently, they are working somewhere in Petalburg City," said Urara, "Grace is doing a DJ thing to promote money to build the city back."
Rachel nodded as he turned to Urara, "A ha…,"
"Is everything okay?" asked Urara.
Rachel grinned as she went to walk toward the door, "Everything is great."
She dashed out, leaving with the door behind her. Urara scratched her head as she looked at Woodmodore. Woodmodore looked up as he smacked her with the leaf. His face was not amused with the recent haircut talent of Urara.
As Rachel went to walk out of the trap door, she turned around, noticing Lamar and Seb working on renovating the living room of the house. As Rachel noticed they used magic to create new flooring, she walked on the floor as Lamar turned to her.
"What's up?" asked Lamar.
"Don't go into the library," said Rachel, "Urara may have given Woodmodore a haircut."
Sebastian turned around, "She did what?"
As he turned around, he stepped on a paint can and landed on the ground. His face was beige as he turned to Lamar. Lamar and Rachel laughed as he looked at him.
"Can I get this off me?" asked Seb.
Lamar turned around, "Sure… Greninja?"
Greninja hopped over as he splashed water from his feet and pounced on Seb's face. Seb was knocked out as Rachel turned to Lamar, "Magine would've worked."
"Who needs magic when you can do things by hand?" Lamar asked, grinning, "Even though I have never renovated a house."
"Good luck," said Rachel, rolling her eyes, "I'm off to train."

Chapter 38: Brother's Keeper Part 1
Golu Rockubus
It was only a few days as the city finally started rebuilding. Memorial services were given to those lost in battle. As Zander went to work on rebuilding a house, he turned around as Leavanny and Hitmontop were working together on building the home with Marowak and Toxicroak were arguing over a wooden plank. Zander turned around as he looked at the two of them, "Hey… can we stop arguing? I need help with the roof!"
"Maro...wak," the Pokémon said, turning away. Toxicroak stood there with anger as he walked toward Zander. As Zander received the wooden plank to nail, he turned around as he heard live music. Turning around, he heard pop music in the distance. Looking around, he then noticed a DJ studio set up in front of the Pokémon Center. Grace was turning tables as people were giving money into the system.
"I don't believe this," said Zander, hopping down, "Toxicroak, Marowak… don't do anything crazy."
He stormed over as he turned around, seeing Grace turn around as she went to get the glass jar with cash that was in the jar. Zander stood there, looking at Grace as she turned around, "Hi…"
"Hi…," said Zander, "Care to tell me what you're doing?"
"Norman approved it. He said I can start a nightclub event to raise money to build Petalburg City back to life," said Grace.
"Hey… I have an idea… how about… BUILD THE DAMAGED HOMES!" Zander shouted.
Grace looked at him with an attitude, "What is your problem?"
Zander turned around as he wiped the sweat off his face, "While me and my Pokémon are building houses, you decide to do something like this! You do realize you were supposed to help me? But, no… you have to find your way out of it."
The yellow ranger turned around as she looked at him, "Seriously? Take a chill pill."
Zander stood there in anger. He was quite surprised as she walked away. Zander shook his head as he headed back to the house he was building. As Toxicroak helped lay down the roof, Zander was looking over as he noticed Toxicroak staring at him.
"Yeah, siblings… it's a horrible thing," he said.
"Croak…," said Toxicroak. He then turned around as a red beam of energy came across. As Toxicroak pushed Zander out of the way, the beam passed Toxicroak and hit a house that was in construction. The house exploded into pieces. People turned around, starting to scream. Toxicroak turned to Zander. Zander then turned to the other Pokémon as multiple red beams came across, shooting buildings down, exploding them in place. As Zander hopped off the house with Toxicroak, he looked up to notice a dark aura surrounding the city. Zander quickly gathered his Poké Balls, "You need to get into your Poké Balls now!"
As he placed his Poké Balls on the ground. He pressed the back of each one as four red lights came across, collecting his Pokémon. Picking them up, he quickly dashed over with his Mystic Morpher, "Everyone, a Judgment Game has begun!"
Back in the Mystic Library…
Urara grabbed her Mystic Morpher as she placed Woodmodore on the table. Woodmodore turned around as the mirror disappeared, revealing red beams of light. Woodmodore stood in horror.
"That could only mean one Hades God…," said Woodmodore, turning around, "Be careful."
Urara sighed as she looked at her, "I don't have a choice."
As she climbed up the stairs into the actual house, she turned around as she noticed Lamar and Sebastian working on the floor with their Pokémon. Music was blaring from Lamar's actual phone as the lights were on. Urara turned around as she pressed a few buttons on the phone to pause it. Lamar turned around, "What?"
"Did you answer your morpher lately?" asked Lamar.
"Well, we knew it got dark... ," said Lamar, turning to look at the window, "Then again… it doesn't makes sense to have a pitch black sky at 2:30pm."
Seb turned around, "Where's Zander and Grace?"
"Over there now. Rachel just left… we've got to bolt!" shouted Urara.
As the three rangers started dashing across the fields toward Petalburg City, a splash of water emerged from the right. The three rangers dodged the attack as an explosion occurred. As the rangers turned around, they noticed Ogre walking down the path with his trident, aimed at the rangers.
"Hades God Ogre… is here," he said.
"You are behind the dark aura?" Urara asked.
"Frankly, no… but if I were you, I might want to check in before Steelclops kills everybody. You need to stop me first," he said, grinning.
Sebastian turned around as he looked at Urara and Lamar, "I'll handle him, you guys go."
"You sure?" asked Lamar.
Seb nodded as he placed his hand on Lamar, "We don't have a choice. You need to stop Steelclops… I'll handle ugly here."
Lamar and Urara nodded as they placed their morphers in their hands, pressing a few buttons, the two rangers began to glow blue and pink energy as they teleported to Petalburg City. Seb then took out his Solar Cell Morpher, "Solar Force, Mystic Force!"
Transforming into the Solaris Knight, he took out his Mystic Lamp, "Let's get this show on the road!"
Meanwhile…
The rangers dashed over as they noticed a gigantic Steelclops shooting down buildings. Grace, Zander and Rachel were evacuating people as more beams were shot. Steelclops was laughing uncontrollably as he continued to shoot more buildings.
"This is better than burning down Magiland," he said laughing, walking over. He then turned around as he saw three rangers looking down, "Oh… and you!"
"So… who are you?" asked Rachel.
"Rachel!"
Rachel turned around as Lamar and Urara arrived. The rangers looked up as Steelclops bowed, "My name is Hades God Steelclops. I have been sent to bestow divine punishment on Hoenn and the world. Don't think you can stop me!"
"I think he needs to be taught a lesson," said Grace.
Rachel turned around as she placed her Mystic Morpher in her hand. The others followed, "Magical Source, Mystic Force!"
A glow of their morphers appeared as they transformed into their suits.
"Galwit Mysto Magika!"
Transforming, the rangers turned into their Titan Zords.
"Mystic Fusion! Magi Giruma Gattai Jinga!"
Immediately, a golden aura shown above them as they floated up to the sky. Mystic Titan Suicune shrunk its head, arms and legs. The body split off as the top of its head split in half, becoming feet. The Viziron shrunk its legs into its stomach and connected on top of the Suicune with Zapdos connecting to the back of the zords. Moltres's wings broke off as it became an extension for the arms and the rest of its body connected to the head of the Megazord. Finally, the chest plate of Viziron opened as the Xerneas antlers connected on top of the Moltres head. The face of Xerneas broke off as it connected to the Moltres head while the body fit inside Virizion. A big golden M appeared on the chest plate as the rangers flew into the cockpit… which was a chess board.
"Mystic Titan Megazord, on stage!"
Grace turned around as she looked at them, "Let's finish the job! Legendary Weapon, unleash! King Excalibur!"
King Excalibur materialized as the Mystic Titan Megazord picked it up. Immediately, Steelclops charged his rifle, shooting the Mystic Titan Megazord. As the red beams were coming across, Grace and the others used their Mystic Staffs.
"Galwit Mysto Prifiore Magika!"
The Mystic Titan Megazord flew into a Magiland seal. The Mystic Titan Megazord began to charge its energy as the Legendary Pokémon appeared, channeling its energy. A golden aura surrounder King Excalibur.
"Magical Climax!"
"King Excalibur, Legendary Mystic Spell Seal!" shouted the rangers.
The Mystic Titan Megazord charged down to the sky. As it charged down, Virizion and Xerenas flew down to the sky first, followed by Suicune and Zapdos. Lastly, Moltres brought up the rear as the Magiland seal appeared.
"STRIKE!"
As the blade struck, Steelclops stabbed the Mystic Titan Megazord with his rifle and pulled the trigger. Explosions surrounded the Mystic Titan Megazord as it rolled to the ground. Getting up, Steelclops laughed as he aimed his weapon at them.
"Now… the Steelclops Special: Lock-On!"
Immediately, his eyes began to glow bright red as he saw green targets on his screen, aiming directly for the Mystic Titan Megazord. His rifle was charged as he aimed directly at them. He then pressed the red button on the side, changing it to full automatic.
"Guys…," said Rachel, "Jinga Majuna!"
As the rangers created the barrier, Steelclops laughed as he looked at them, "Steelclops Special: Superpower Bullet Spray."
A barrage of orange rounds struck as he yelled. The bullets pierced through the barrier as the Mystic Titan Megazord's armor was pierced. As 50 rounds drilled into the Mystic Titan Megazord, a golden aura surrounded the Megazord as the rangers landed on the ground. Steelclops laughed as he landed on the ground, looking at them. Rachel turned around as Steelclops released another bulletspray, this time destroying a house with regular bullets. The rangers watched as he turned to them.
"You…," said Zander, turning to Steelclops. Steelclops aimed directly for Zander, "Finish your sentence and I will blow your head off."
Zander said nothing as Steelclops turned to them, "Prepare to face my Judgment Game."
"And that is?" asked Grace.
"Simple… run," said Steelclops, "If you can survive my bullets by sunset, I lose. Everything that I shot will return back to normal. If you fail and all five of you perish before sunset, this planet will turn into nothing but a crater with lead and armor bullets."
"Like we are going to allow that," said Rachel, "Mystic Staff: Sword Mode!"
The other rangers nodded as they got their weapons. Flipping forward they went to strike, Steelclops turned around as he blocked each attack. As he swung across, the rangers landed on the ground. Looking up, Steelclops took out his rifle and started shooting them down. As the rangers landed on the ground, Steelclops began to glow in a blue aura. He grinned as he disappeared.
"Let the games begin," he said.
The rangers stood in a circle as they had their Mystic Staffs.
"So… I wonder what will happen," said Rachel.
"Let's not answer that question," said Grace.
"We need to find the source of it," said Lamar.
"Or we can hide at the base," said Urara.
"And what if he follows us?" asked Zander.
Suddenly, a bullet came across. Zander blocked the bullet. The rangers were blocking bullets from all different directions. As they kept up the pace, multiple bullets were coming across. However, one went straight for Rachel's leg. Rachel screamed as she landed on the ground. Lamar turned around as Rachel screamed in pain, "I've been shot!"
As Lamar picked up Rachel, the other rangers covered as they started dashing across. The rangers were running north.
"This is worse than the time we saw the Pokémon Center get shot outside Rustboro," said Urara, "There's nowhere to take cover!"
Meanwhile…
Ogre swung his trident as Seb landed on the ground. Seb released his Mystic Lamp Blaster, piercing golden beams at Ogre's body. Seb then turned around as he took out his Solar Saber. As he struck across, Ogre turned around and slashed him across the chest. He then turned around, "Origin Pulse!"
Bule waves of water came across as Seb was hit. Seb flew and landed on the ground. Seb turned around as Ogre laughed. A blue aura surrounded him as he began to grow mega-sized.
"Let's have some fun!"
"Oh… we shall," said Seb, taking out his Solar Express Megazord card, "Sol Mysto Magika!"
"Sol Mysto Magika!"
Golden train tracks magically appeared as the Solgaleo Express magically apppeared. Sebastian quickly dashed to the front of the express. Sitting in the cockpit, Percy magically appeared behind him.
"Why the hell are we fighting him here when we should be helping the others?" said Percy.
"Unfortunately, war is war… these creatures don't play by the rules," Seb responded. He then took out a blue card and slid it across his morpher.
"Express Change: Solgaleo Express Megazord!"
Immediately, the Solgaleo Express began to rise. The back end of the train stretched and then split apart, becoming the legs and feet. The head of the Solgaleo Express detached itself as the wheels on the bottom shrunk in and arms stretched out with golden and red claws. A silver and black head appeared with green eyes as Solgaeo's face attached itself to the torso.
"Origin Pulse!"
Releasing blue bolts, the Solgaleo Express Megazord was damaged heavily. Hanging on, Seb pressed a few buttons, "Sunsteel Strike!"
A purple and blue beam emanated from the torso as it headed straight for Ogre. Ogre turned around as he twirled his trident, a dark blue aura surrounded his trident as he struck the Solar Express Megazord. He then twisted his trident as a red aura surrounded him. He raised his trident to the sky and then aimed directly at the Solar Express Megazord, "Alpha Barrage!"
Red bolts shot out of his trident, piercing the Solar Express Megazord. As bolts surrounded the Solar Express Megazord, Seb and Percy screamed as the Megazord landed on the ground. The cockpit exploded as the two of them landed on the ground. Ogre turned around as he struck his trident across. Percy turned around as Seb unmorphed automatically.
"Now… a vulnerable human will have to fight me," he said.
"Percy… get back in the lamp," said Seb.
"But… Master Seb," said Percy.
"GET IN THE LAMP!" shouted Seb.
Percy nodded slowly as he disappeared in the lamp. Ogre laughed as he stretched his trident. Seb took out his Solar Saber as they circled around. Ogre grinned, "For a human, you are lucky to be alive. Most of my opponents would have been dead by now."
"I don't plan on dying today," said Seb.
Immediately, the two of them went at it…
Meanwhile…
"OW!" shouted Rachel.
"Shh…," said Lamar, covering her mouth. The rangers were in an abandoned warehouse just northwest of Petalburg City, trying to take cover from Steelclops. Grace pulled the bullet out of Rachel's leg using golden tweezers and then pulled out an elixir. Spraying it, the wound began to heal as she wrapped medical tape around the wound. Urara turned around as she looked at Zander, who was sitting there… looking at the group.
"So… that creature brings back memories," said Urara, "Team Rocket had machine guns…"
"I'm sure they did," Zander said softly.
Grace turned around as she looked at the others, "Rachel will be fine in a few hours."
"Great," said Zander, turning away. Grace looked over as she looked at him, "What's your problem?"
Zander turned around, looking at the yellow ranger, "Reckless…"
"Excuse me?" asked Grace.
"You heard me… reckless," said Zander, "You didn't even get a chance for Rachel to give orders when we formed the Megazord. You basically took control!"
"And what would you have done?" asked Grace.
"Well, if I were the leader, I would use Legend Mode," said Zander.
Rachel turned around as she looked at Zander, "It would have been the same result."
The two rangers looked at Rachel and then at each other. Grace turned around, "And where are you going with this?"
"Simple," said Zander, "You never think things through. As usual, and as smart as you are, you always like to take the reckless route."
"I am not reckless," said Grace, turning to Zander.
"Okay… do I have to bring up the forbidden magic situation to you again… or, because I know this will get everyone on their high horse, the time you did something that almost ruined your DJ career… or worse?" asked Zander.
Grace walked over to Zander as he looked at her. He grinned as she slapped him across the face, "Don't you ever bring that up."
Lamar, Urara and Rachel looked at each other as Grace turned to the others. With Zander letting the beans spill, Grace sighed as she sat down, "While I was in Kanto, working on my DJ Career in Pewter City…"
Flashback…
Grace was working on her DJ set up in Pewter City Rockhouse. As she set her stuff up, she was brushing her hair, getting ready for the event. As she went to get her music playlist, a bunch of men were walking into the dance floor. They were a little drunk than normal as they looked at her. She turned around as she looked at him. He had black and blue spiky hair with golden eyes and wore a black vest with blue jeans. He grinned as he looked at her.
"Jake… what do you want?" Grace asked.
"You didn't help me out. You left me," said Jake.
Grace turned around as she looked at him, "Look, the club opens in an hour, I got work to do."
Mon.
As she went to walk away, she felt his hand grab her arm. He yanked her back as she squirmed, "You're hurting me."
Jake turned around, "You owe me…"
As he hissed on her neck, she began to cringe as his friends showed up, smiling. Grace screamed as she tried to break free.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!"
Grace looked up as Zander arrived with his Pokémon.
"Ah… the brother comes to save her," said Jake, "Get 'em boys."
As the four of them started dashing, Zander turned to Leavanny, "Leavanny, Sleep Powder!"
Leavanny jumped up, releasing blue powder. As the goons fell on the ground, Zander watched as Jake went to grab Grace. Jake took a breather as he looked up. Marowak jumped up and threw a Bonemerang across, smacking him in the face. Zander dashed over as Grace looked up. Zander noticed some of her hair was ripped and a tear in her shirt. Grace cried in Zander's arms as he held her.
"Why did you go out with him?" asked Zander.
"I thought I could change him," said Grace, sobbing.
"Not boys like him," said Zander, turning to Grace, "You were being reckless… and you almost got yourself killed… or worse."
"I'm glad you are here," said Grace, sobbing as she hugged Zander.
Present Day…
"So…," said Grace, turning to the rangers, "There was a dark side of me. After that, I decided to travel with Zander and take a break from being a DJ. That dark side is behind me… there were even times I backed out to work on my music and my family would be so mad. Yet, there were things so simple and I just wanted to do what I wanted to do. I was the reckless one, sometimes."
Urara looked up at Grace as she started to tear, "Wow… that's powerful."
"But," said Rachel, turning to Grace, "Zander should know this."
"Huh?" asked Zander.
"Deep down inside… you have changed from that experience. I know it's traumatizing. I am glad he was there for you… and in life, we go through trials," said Rachel, "Zander has been protective of you… because that's what family is all about."
Zander nodded silently. Lamar grinned as he turned to Grace, "We look out for each other. That's what family is all about."
Grace grinned as she hugged the four of them. As they were hugging each other, Zander turned around as he noticed something flickering. He turned around as he saw a white bullet coming toward them. He quickly pushed the rangers down to the ground as the bullet hit the ground. The rangers looked up as they saw a white flag. Zander picked it up as he saw the paper. He gave it to the other rangers. It said "No one is safe" in red letters.
"Oh my," said Grace, "He could be here."
"Let's move," said Rachel.
"And I have just the idea," said Zander, turning to everyone. He flipped open his Mystic Morpher, "Majuna Majuna!"
In a flash of green light, he quickly disappeared. The other rangers, impressed, decided to follow suit. As the rangers dashed out in a flash, they were running toward the hallways. Steelclops, who was somewhere was watching them as he aimed his rifle at the wall… "Let's see if they like this."
Releasing a spray of bullets, the rangers turned around as they dashed out of the way. Grace looked up, invisible, as she saw the word "ERASE" written in bullet holes, "What does that mean?"
Zander turned around as he looked at them, "We need to find a safe place. We need to get out of this warehouse."
Meanwhile…
The Hades Gods were watching the battle through a vision of Latian. Jirinx was pleased as she turned to the others, "It seems Steelclops is doing an amazing job."
"He will blow the whole city up at this point without even destroying the rangers," said Groudian, stretching his arms out. He then turned around as he looked at Jirinx and then at Quazer, "Speaking of Hades Gods, where is Ogre?"
"Ogre?" asked Jirinx and Quazer, noticing eight monsters including themselves. Quazer turned around as he looked at Persha, who stood there with fear.
"Do your job. Find Ogre for me," said Quazer.
Persha nodded slowly, "You don't have to tell me twice."
Meanwhile...
As the rangers hid in another section of the warehouse, the rangers stood there as Zander looked at the sunlight. He then turned around as he looked at the rangers, "It seems that Steelclops will find whatever means necessary to kill us."
"That's all fine and dandy," said Lamar, sarcastically.
"Well, Lamar," said Zander, "I think we need to lure him out."
Grace turned around, "Great, then I think will be able to do it."
Zander shook his head, "I would rather be the bait."
Grace turned around as she looked at him. Zander nodded as she walked toward him, "You can't be serious."
"... I am," said Zander, turning to the rangers.
"Zander, if you don't know where those bullets are coming from…," said Grace.
Zander turned around as he looked at Grace, "And I expect you to finish the job if I don't succeed."
Grace looked confused as the others turned to face him. Urara looked at Zander as he turned to her. She nodded as she turned away for a little and then back, "You know something…"
"I have a theory. But, in order to do that, I must be the bait for the source," said Zander.
As he went to say something else, a canister appeared through the door cracks. The canister exploded as tear gas came out of it.
Meanwhile…
Seb was being beaten up… literally. Ogre kneed him in the stomach multiple times and then threw him on the ground. As Ogre went to stab, Seb rolled away as he missed. Seb swept him, knocking Ogre off balance. He then took out his Mystic Lamp, shooting multiple rounds. Seb then rolled the side of the lamp.
"Percy Pay Day Attack!"
As he pulled the trigger, Percy flew out as he went to strike. His claw went to strike his chest as Ogre raised his trident. An ice attack appeared as Percy became an icicle. Seb stood as he raised his Solar Sword. A white aura surrounded it as he aimed at Ogre, "Steelbeam Finish!"
As he came across with the saber, striking Ogre, Ogre released a wall of water. Ogre then struck Seb in the stomach. Seb's eyes popped open as he felt the trident pierce his body. Seb turned around, seeing blood on his stomach. Ogre laughed as Seb stumbled. Laughing, Seb's eyes began to glow silver as his whole body began to transform. Ogre watched as Solgaleo stretched out, slicing Ogre across. He fell to the ground! Seb lay on the ground as Solgaleo arrived. Putting his paws on him, a golden aura surrounded him. His wounds began to heal as Seb woke up. Ogre stood there in anger.
"How are you alive?" he asked, "You should have died! But, your beast revived you!"
As the battle went on, Persha watched from above as she turned away. She took out a black camera as she went to film, "Found Ogre."
Back in the warehouse…
"Tear gas!" shouted Lamar.
"It must be a trap," said Rachel, turning to Zander.
Grace turned around as she looked at Zander, "It's a trap, you know that."
Zander placed his hands on Grace's shoulders. He looked at her in the eyes as he turned to her. He stared at her for a few seconds as he went to speak, "No matter what happens to me… I know you will do your best. I am the protector… and I will fight to save you."
As he hugged her tightly, Grace stood there feeling the embrace. She turned around as Zander backed away. He released his Mystic Morpher, "Legendary Source, Mystic Force!"
A green Magiland insignia appeared above him as Virizion flew across, bonding with him, transforming into his ranger suit. A green seal appeared again as he transformed into his Legend Mode. Zander dashed out of the warehouse, running into an open courtyard in the city.
"Steelclops… you want me so badly… come get me!" he shouted.
Suddenly, a green aura surrounded his staff. He turned around as he noticed the number "1" glow. He then turned around as he pulled the number. He then heard a gunshot. Zander watched as the bullet was heading toward him, "Golu Rockubus!"
His chest armor turned into a wall of rocks as he stood with his Legend Staff. The bullets were proven ineffective. Steelclops shot from all directions as he blocked them. He then turned around as he noticed five shots going in the same direction. Zander knew what was going on. Steelclops, who was in another dimension, took out a silver piercing bullet and placed it in his rifle. Aiming at Zander, Zander aimed straight for him.
"Nope… not today," said Steelclops.
Pulling the trigger, the silver bullet shot out and drilled into Zander. Zander turned around as he was hit. His rock armor exploded as he fell backwards. Rachel, Grace, Urara and Lamar looked out as Zander went to throw his Legend Staff at the window in front of him.
"Code 1: Continental-," he started to say.
Suddenly, a red bullet pierced into his chest. Explosions surrounded him as he landed on the ground. A green aura surrounded him as his whole body landed. His whole body lay limp as his armor disappeared.
"Zander!" shouted Grace.
Grace started dashing in front of the rangers. Rachel, Lamar and Urara followed behind. Zander looked up as Grace and the others arrived. Zander looked down, noticing the bullet in his chest. Grace looked up as Zander grabbed her hand. Grinning, a red aura surrounded him as he disappeared.
"Zander…. NO!" she shouted, sobbing.

Woodmodore sighed as he looked at the library, "So… Golu Rockubus is basically Rock Armor that Zander uses it to protect himself. Unfortunately, armor piercing bullets don't work."
He then turned around as he saw Zander dying on the screen, "HE'S DEAD?"
He then noticed Seb's dying scene in another place. Woodmodore turned around as he stretched for a box of tissues, "This is upsetting."
Next Chapter:
Grace: It is all my fault!
Rachel: WILL YOU STOP BLAMING YOURSELF?
Jirinx: You really want to ruin the Judgment Prophecy…
Steelclops: I plan on killing you…
Poké Rangers Mystic Force Chapter 39: Brother's Keeper Part 2- Golu Voltako
Grace: You killed my brother… and now you will pay for all the bloodshed you caused.
A/N: So, I had to figure out a way to explain this chapter to the fullest. This chapter brought out some very dark details, but it was needed in order for the next chapter to function. Seeing that Zander and Grace always looked out for each other, they always had their moments. With Grace's dark past and Zander taking the bullet, it brings a few curveballs.
I also apologize for not being on schedule. I'm actually 13 weeks behind! Whoops. Long story short... I have been advancing in my life outside of FF. So, I am not on as much. This has been on my mind, it just never came to me until like today. So, please be patient. I only have to write 8 more chapters anyway. I'll try to finish it before New Years... but November and December are rocky months. :)
Cheers!
