Drago was marching up and down looking at his generals, Viggo had returned to his ship upon his orders, their fight against the Rangers had exhausted their supplies as well as manpower.

"Now can any of you tell me why you keep on failing every single time?" Drago roared.

Viggo looked at Drago calmly. "My Lord, the Ranges have proven themselves to be resourceful."

"So you're saying that our forces are not able to adapt to a bunch of teenagers?" Drago glared.

"My Lord, every time we seem to gain the upper hand they somehow find the inner strength and repel our forces," Viggo explained.

"All could be just dumb luck," said Krogan.

"Have you got something to share, Krogan?" Drago asked looking down at him.

"When we tried to get our hands of the Morphers, somehow they have the right individual to access them," said Krogan.

"It is true my lord," Johann nodded. "We did some brief tests on the Red Ranger's Morpher while we had our hands on it. For some reason only those with a specific gene are able to access them."

"We can easily defeat them if it wasn't for those Morpher providing them with the power," said Krogan.

"I must disagree on that my lord," said Viggo.

Drago looked at him. "Explain."

"I believe that it is the Rangers themselves we should be more concerned about not the Morphers," said Viggo.

Krogan looked at him in outrage. "So you're suggesting that our forces can get trounced by a bunch of everyday teenagers?"

"No, I'm saying that the Rangers themselves are unique," Viggo explained. "I have managed to do some background information on them during my spare time. I would like to present it to you my lord, it is always best to know your enemy."

Drago sat on his throne. "Very well."

Viggo nodded and immediately turned to a monitor. "First let us start with our newest arrivals Rachel and Terry Thorston." Soon an image of the twins appeared. "I have very little information on them apart from the data we were able to steal from Berk, but it appears that before they became Rangers they tested the Rangers equipment. According to their site profiles they are considerably unpredictable, one moment they have a brilliant idea the next moment they are as dumb as a sack potatoes."

"So what you're saying is that their wild cards," said Johann simply.

"In my opinion wild cards are very dangerous and ones to watch out for," said Viggo. "Now since one the subject of the Rangers equipment this is Richard Keatson." The screen then turned to show Ragnar. "He's General Stoick's scientific adviser and has been the brain behind their technology, it was he that found the specific gene needed to access the Morphers."

"For a scientist he seems to be able to fight well," Ryker noted.

"I believe that he took part in self-defence classes," said Viggo. He then turned the screen and Heather appeared. "Heather Owson, she's quite the daredevil and is always the first person someone confides in if they are in trouble."

Krogan narrowed his eyes. "A sympathetic heart, one which can be easily crushed."

"Actually she's it is that sympathetic heart that gives her strength, she would do anything to protect her friends," said Viggo simply and then he produced an image of Fishlegs. "Franklin Ingerman, an archaeologist by heart and is able to read the ancient text from the Dragkons, I believe that it is he that has guided the Rangers to their destinations on other worlds and assists them in better understanding their Morphers."

"So he's the reason that the Rangers are able to find the Morphers," said Johann.

Viggo nodded. "Indeed, our technology in translating the text is rivalled to his knowledge." Then an image of Snotlout appeared on the monitor. "Scott Jorgenson is more prone to the direct approach, but no one can argue that he is indeed strong. He does contradict his leader's actions, but yet he seems to be able to pull through."

"So he's a rebel," said Ryker folding his arms. "Any chance we can use that to our advantage?"

"It is worth investigating, but I extremely doubt that anything can be accomplished from it," said Viggo shaking his head. Then an image of Astrid appeared. "Astrid Hofferson, she belongs to a long military family, well disciplined and utterly fearless. She serves as second-in-command and while she is one to criticise her Captain's decisions she will follow them through."

"No aggravation? No resentment?" said Krogan looking dubious. "I have a very hard time believing that someone like her would follow the commands of some like the Red Ranger."

Viggo looked at him. "And why is that? Do you believe that the Red Ranger is weak merely because of his physical appearance? I can assure you that he is quite dangerous." An image of hiccup then appeared on the monitor. "Harry Haddock, the son of General Stephen Haddock and Professor Violet Haddock. He has proven himself to be quite resourceful, open-minded and a strong leader. By contrast is the complete opposite of you my lord."

"What are you implying?" Drago questioned.

"I'm merely saying that his method of leadership is quite opposite to your own," Viggo explained calmly. "He leads by example, uses trust and respect to make people follow him. You on the other hand my lord use fear in order to force people into line and you don't trust or respect anyone under your command."

"I can take that into different ways, Viggo," Drago warned.

"I meant no disrespect of course. I am merely showing the differences in your personalities."

"Is there any way we can break this perfect team of theirs?" Krogan asked.

"They all have their differences and different opinions, but that is exactly what makes them strong and make them work so well together," Viggo explained. "I'm afraid trying to wedge a wrench in their works would just be a love waste of time and resources."

Ryker looked at Drago. "Perhaps you should face them yourself my lord."

Drago looked at him. "And why should I do that?"

"To sow fear into the populace show them who they truly up against show them your power," said Ryker.

Viggo rubbed his chin. "An intriguing idea, it might give us some breathing room until we can discuss a more workable plan."

Drago leaned back. "Perhaps it is time that I join the battle." He then turned to Johann. "I trust that you could have a zoid waiting for me if need be?"

"I can easily secure you want my lord, I will even make sure it is the best one I can get my hands on," Johann nodded.

Drago then rose to his feet. "Very well, I think it's time for me to see just how powerful these Rangers truly are."

On Berk, a few of the Rangers were becoming a bit relaxed with their recent victories against Drago.

"I'm telling you were beating Drago right and left, up and down," said Snotlout as he leaned back in the recreation room.

"Any other directions you wish to add?" Heather asked.

"Come on, we have managed to repel every single attack is launched at us, not to mention humiliate his generals," said Snotlout.

"We haven't defeated him, only his lackeys," Astrid pointed out.

"Not to mention we haven't actually defeated his generals either," Ragnar added.

Snotlout scoffed. "We have a total of eight Rangers and they can beat us when there was only five of us."

"So long as I have more time to study the text I'm happy," Fishlegs shrugged.

"And we have more weapons to test," said Ruffnut.

"We want to see we can make more stuff go boom," said Tuffnut.

Hiccup looked at Astrid. "I don't like this complacency and arrogance."

"Same here," Astrid nodded. "It's only going to be a matter of time before Drago himself shows up. Maybe you should mention this to your Dad, he might have some ideas to make everyone serious."

Hiccup did just that and reported the situation to Stoick.

"I do not like the sound of this, son," said Stoick.

"I assure you that some of us don't feel the same way as they do," Hiccup assured.

"I understand that, but all you are pieces of a jigsaw and if one of you is out of shape you're not able to form the picture."

"So what you think I should do?"

"You need to show them that they need to stay vigilant, give them some extra duties and if they disobey come up with some punishment for disobeying a direct order."

Hiccup sighed. "So you're just dumping everything on me."

"I gave you a suggestion, son. Also I can't bail you out every single time you're stuck, this is your unit and you have to take responsibility for them."

Hiccup soon returned the recreation room and clapped his hands together to get everyone's attention.

"All right gang, we're going on patrol," Hiccup announced.

Snotlout looked up. "What for?"

"Just stay sharp. We will split into three different teams, Astrid, Ragnar and myself will be leading them."

"But there's nothing out there!" Snotlout yelled indignantly.

"Which is why we're going on patrol," said Hiccup folding his arms.

"That doesn't sound like fun," said Ruffnut.

"It's not supposed to be fun," said Astrid.

"It's better than sitting around doing nothing," Ragnar shrugged.

"I bake to differ," Snotlout grumbled.

"And if anyone does not go out on patrol you be scrubbing the toilets for week," Hiccup added.

"I'm in," said Snotlout quickly.

"Same!" said the twins getting to their feet.

Hiccup smiled. "I had a feeling you would."

Soon they were in their Ranger forms and riding their Dragon Cycles across the city. Hiccup's team consisted of Fishlegs and Snotlout, Astrid went with Heather, leaving Ragnar with the twins. So far they had encountered anything remotely to a threat.

"Report in," said Hiccup.

"Everything okay in alpha," Astrid reported.

"Beta is all clear," said Ragnar.

"What a surprise," Snotlout grumbled. "I told you this was a complete waste of time, we could spend all this time on patrol doing something productive."

"Going on patrol is productive," Hiccup pointed out.

"Only if we encounter something which we haven't," said Snotlout.

"I hate to agree with him, but he does have a point," said Fishlegs meekly. "I could have used all this time researching the text and find more clues to the Morphers and their secrets."

"Do you expect the police to expect a crime every single time they go on patrol?" Hiccup questioned.

"They get paid for it," Snotlout reminded.

"We get paid."

"Fighting invaders, we get nothing for going on patrol."

Hiccup sighed. "What also reassuring the people of Berk that we are here for them at any time."

Then suddenly an old lady walked in front of them waving her walking stick.

"Rangers! I need your help!" she cried.

Immediately the three of them came to a stop inches away from the old lady.

"What seemed to be the problem ma'am?" Hiccup asked.

"My cat Tiddles is stuck on the branch of that tree!" she said pointing.

They immediately looked up and indeed saw a ginger cat stuck on a branch about 20 feet above them.

Snotlout looked at Hiccup. "You're right, the people of Berk do need our help."

Snotlout soon regretted saying that when Hiccup ordered him to get the cat down.

"Here kitty kitty kitty," he said as he reached the branch where the cat sat. "Come to uncle Snotlout."

The cat then attacked uncle Snotlout causing him to fall out of the tree with the cat wedged on his helmet.

"Thank you, young man," said the old woman as she peeled the cat off of him.

"Any time," Snotlout wheezed.

Astrid then reported in. "Have you encountered any hostiles yet?"

Hiccup just looked down at Snotlout. "Well, Snotlout has just been attacked, but we've got it well in hand."

Eventually they met up in the Plaza, after accomplishing absolutely nothing, and Snotlout was quick to express his annoyance.

"For three hours we have been on patrol and the only thing we've accomplished is rescue an old ladies cat from a tree," said Snotlout.

"Which attacked you," Astrid added.

"How could you get beaten by a cat?" Ruffnut asked.

"So uncool man," said Tuffnut shaking his head.

"The point is we have completely wasted our time! I'm telling you there's no way they will be an attack!"

Suddenly there was a powerful bolt of energy and they will knock you right off their feet.

"I can see now why you were not made the team leader," said a deep booming voice within the smoke.

Hiccup's eyes widened. "I know that voice."

Then emerging from the smoke was none other than Drago holding a billhook in his hand.

"Drago Bludvist," Astrid gasped.

"So you were the Power Rangers that have been causing me so much trouble, I am unimpressed," he said.

Hiccup immediately drew out his sword. "Attack!"

Immediately all them throughout their weapons and charged at Drago, Hiccup and Astrid swung their weapons towards Drago, but he merely used the handle of his billhook to block their attack. They try to push as hard as they could, but he was just too strong and with one good push he was able to send them back.

The twins tried to attack him from behind, but he quickly spun around and with one wave of his billhook he sent them flying. Snotlout then came charging in putting all the power into his mace as he possibly could, but Drago extended his prosthetic arm and grabbed the mace bare handed.

"Is that all you got?" said Drago looking down at him.

He then swung Snotlout over his shoulder and slammed into the ground, he then raised his billhook ready to deal the final blow, but Ragnar quickly moved in and used his shield to block the attack. The impact of the attack forced Ragnar to go down on one knee and he found himself unable to do anything else.

Heather then quickly used her whip in order to wrap it around Drago's hand and pulled with all her might in order to give Ragnar some breathing room. However, no matter how hard she pulled she couldn't budge Drago one bit and Fishlegs then came charging in and swung his hammer and it landed right in Drago's chest.

There was a huge explosion of dust that hid him from view, but when the dust dispelled Drago just stood there looking completely unfazed. He then reached down and grabbed Fishlegs' face with his hand and lifted him right off his feet.

"I'm starting to get bored," he said.

Hiccup then jumped into the air and slammed his blade right on Drago's prosthetic with all his might. It clearly had some kind of effect because Drago released Fishlegs and there was a small wince in his eye, but he quickly regained his composure and pushed Hiccup back.

Drago then swatted Ragnar side with his billhook and then advanced towards Hiccup, who had been winded by the blow.

"Without you leading, you Rangers will be in disarray," he said.

He then slammed his billhook down on top of Hiccup, who quickly raised his sword in order to block the attack. Drago struck his sword with so much force that it slammed right into Hiccup's head and knocked him out cold and reverted back to his normal form.

"Hiccup!" Astrid cried.

Then filled with rage he immediately charged in and swung her axe at Drago, but Drago unleashed a powerful burst of energy from his prosthetic which sent Astrid flying into a building and she too reverted back to normal form.

"I'll give you time to let the despair you're feeling to sinking and then I will finish you for good," he announced.

He then teleported away leaving everyone to let the defeat sinking.

Upon hearing the attack Stoick centre medical team and they quickly took them back to headquarters. Hiccup was still unconscious, but still very much alive according to the doctors.

"Captain Hiccup, is in a light coma, but we are confident that he should wake in a few hours," Ragnar informed Stoick handing him the report. "As for the others only some minor injuries, they were lucky all things considered especially Astrid."

Stoick nodded and handed the report back to him. "Keep me updated."

Stoick approached Astrid and the others. "According to your reports you encountered Drago here?"

"He showed from out of nowhere, sir," said Astrid. "I apologise that we were not able to take him down."

"I think you are lucky enough to survive, though from your report I'm surprised that he did such a thing," said Stoick.

"He said that he was gonna give us time for our despair to sinking before finishing us of," Ragnar informed him.

Stoick grimaced. "So we can expect him to return."

"How can anyone be that strong?" Snotlout asked. "He completely mopped the floor with us."

"Hiccup did warn you not underestimate him," Heather reminded.

"All of us did," Astrid added.

"With Hiccup down, you will be able to form the Dragon Spirit Megazoid," said Ragnar gravely.

"Do you think you attack with a zoid?" Stoick asked.

"He's already tested us on the ground, I wouldn't be surprised whether he would test our zoids."

"Surely we would have the advantage then?" Fishlegs asked hopefully.

"We weren't able to beat him eight against one, I don't like our chances now even if Hiccup wasn't in a coma."

Stoick sighed. "I best prepare the city just in case an attack does come, meanwhile you should all take some rest while you can."

They followed Stoick's advice, but unlike a few hours ago they were no longer cheery in the wake of this defeat.

"I just can't believe how easily we got trounced," said Snotlout.

"Who knew that the big boss will be that powerful," said Ruffnut.

"We do even lay a scratch on him," said Tuffnut.

"If he decides to take matters into his own hands now then we're done for," said Fishlegs.

Astrid placed a hand on her hips and looked at them. "So we got our butts handed to us, so what?"

"So there's no way we can beat him," said Snotlout.

"That sounds like defeatist talk to me," said Astrid narrowing her eyes. "So you want us to hang up our helmets just because were facing a particularly powerful opponent."

"No," said Fishlegs shaking his head. "It's just that if Drago…"

"It makes no difference," said Ragnar as he sat up. "The Dragkons were taken down before they even knew it and they're still fighting. How can we do anything less?"

"We can't," Heather nodded. "Hiccup would want us to keep fighting and if you guys aren't going to do anything then I guess it's up to us."

Snotlout, Fishlegs and the twins just remained quiet.

Toothless then rushed in. "Drago has returned and just as you predicted he's in a zoid."

Astrid looked at the four defeatist. "Are you coming?"

They just sat there in silence.

"Fine, stay here and mope I'm going out there," said Astrid.

"So are we," said Ragnar as he and Heather stood up.

Astrid nodded and immediately flung their fists forwards. "Unleashed the dragon within!"

Drago was piloting a large and very powerful zoid, it had large muscles and spikes were shooting out of its shoulders. The feet were resembled that of dragon claws as did its hands, but its face was practically human.

"Slightly disappointed, I expected the Rangers to be here," said Drago.

Then suddenly a large of spikes slammed right into him catching them completely by surprise. He then quickly looked up and saw Astrid flying overhead in her Dragon Spirit form.

"So one of you wants to play," he said as he looked up at her.

He was about to fire a laser beam from the zoids eyes, but then suddenly a white tail slammed right into him. That tail belonging to Heather who was also in her Dragon Spirit form and then she quickly fired a fire blast.

"I see you're finally putting a bit of a fight," Drago growled.

Ragnar then came charging in his own Dragon Spirit form and he was already in his fighter mode. He then slammed his club towards Drago dealing some damage and continue to push on his offensive.

"If you want to destroy this city you have to go through us first," said Ragnar.

Drago managed to regain control and then turned to face them. "You make it seem as if that is going to be difficult. I can take the three of you down without breaking a sweat."

Ragnar then swung his club once again, but this time Drago caught it with his bare hand and then with his free hand punched him across the face knocking him to the ground. Astrid and Heather then quickly fired upon Drago to provide Ragnar some cover, but he withstood the onslaught and fired a beam of lasers from his eyes blasting the two of them.

"Time to end this," he said as he stood over Ragnar.

He raised his fist ready to deal the final blow, but then suddenly he was struck by a huge explosion in the back.

"What?" Drago roared.

He turned and found that the twins had taken their Dragon Spirit form and were firing their combined gas and spark attack. Then Snotlout appeared, also in his Dragon Spirit form, and then performed a powerful wing blast that caused him to lose his footing. Fishlegs was also in his dragon spirit form and came completely out of nowhere spinning like a top, he then came spinning, he slammed Drago across the face with his tail bludgeon.

The impact was enough to knock Drago off his feet and Astrid and the others were completely astonished.

"You came?" Astrid stared.

"You didn't think you could take all the fun," said Snotlout.

"You are right, we should have given up so easily," said Fishlegs.

"Not without a fight at least," said Tuffnut.

"And not until we show our teeth," Ruffnut added.

Ragnar then rose to his feet. "Whatever the case you guys have some excellent timing."

"How sweet," said Drago as he stood up. "All of you together. I admit you have proving yourselves more than nuisance than I could have imagined, but this is where it ends. Without your leader you are nothing."

"Then it's a good thing I am here," said another voice.

Then suddenly a plasma blast came completely out of nowhere and slammed right into Drago and he was forced to go down on one knee. Everyone looked up and saw Hiccup, in his dragon spirit form, and landed directly in front of them.

"Hiccup, you're awake," Astrid gasped.

"Just in time too," Hiccup noted.

"Now you have no more surprises for me," said Drago as he rose again.

"You've got to be kidding me," said Snotlout.

"What are going to take to keep him down?" Fishlegs asked.

Hiccup looked at the others. "What if we tried combined together?"

"I don't know that is possible," said Ragnar.

"It might be the only way," said Hiccup.

"We don't have much to lose," said Astrid.

They all looked at one another and nodded, it was now or never, they had to make one last move if they had any shot of victory.

"Dragon Spirits combined!" Hiccup yelled.

Everyone apart from Ragnar immediately flew into the air and began to transform. The first thing that happened was Ragnar's arms and legs folded in and his head sank back into his body. Hiccup and Snotlout then suddenly transformed into a pair of legs with their head acting as the feet and combined with Ragnar just below the knee. Astrid and Heather also transformed into a pair of arms and combined with Ragnar just below the elbow. Fishlegs transformed into a head, but several parts belonging to Ragnar formed a mask and they fitted in over his face and then they combined. The twins locked into Ragnar's back with their next straight pointing directly over Ragnar's shoulders.

Hiccup and the others found themselves in a cockpit side-by-side in their new Megazoid.

"Dragon Gladiator Megazoid!" they cried.

The Dragon Gladiator Megazoid was roughly half a size taller than Drago's zoid and more heavily armoured. It was now holding a new weapon which was Ragnar's club, but Heather's tail was now acting as a blade so now it was forming a very long spear.

"This is unexpected," Drago growled.

"Let's show him what we can do guys," said Hiccup.

"We're right behind you," Astrid nodded.

Up in space, Drago's generals were watching the battle unfold and they too had been taken completely by surprise by this new power the Rangers had tapped.

"This is unexpected," said Viggo.

"They've grown stronger," Ryker noted.

"We should tell teleporting back right now," said Krogan.

"And risk him bringing down his wrath on top of us?" Johann questioned.

"We shall wait," Viggo advised. "If things do not go his way we'll simply teleporting before the zoid is destroyed, until then we can only watch."

"I will not be defeated, not by the likes of you!" Drago roared.

He then immediately fired his lasers at them, but the armour was just too tough and they slowly began to advance towards him.

"Time to put an end to this," said Hiccup.

All of them then grasped their hands together as if they were holding a sword and swung it in unison.

"Gladiator Crush!" they cried.

Then they swung their mighty sword right down on top of Drago and sliced right through his zoid. In doing so the core began to overload and it was about to explode, but before it did Drago was immediately teleported to safety.

Hiccup and the others watched as Drago's zoid blew up.

Drago was back on his spaceship after his humiliating defeat by the hands of the Power Rangers.

"The Rangers are getting too strong," he growled slamming his billhook onto the ground. "The more we push, the stronger they push back. We need and this cycle before there's nothing left."

Viggo then humbly step forward. "I am working on a plan that will eliminate the Rangers without engaging."

Drago looked intrigued. "Explain."

"I'm afraid the plan is in the early stages and I would wish to bore you with something that might not happen," said Viggo. "The rest assured I will work tirelessly to make sure this plan succeeds. In the meanwhile I suggest that our other generals come up with plans of their own, ones that can be implemented relatively quickly."

"I don't care how you do it, I want the Rangers destroyed!" Drago roared.

"What do you mean that Drago wasn't destroyed?" Snotlout yelled.

Hiccup and the others were back in the briefing room and Stoick had just given them the sad news that their mortal enemy was still alive.

"It's as I said, we detected someone being teleported out of the zoid before its destruction," said Stoick regretfully.

"And I imagine that he's not too pleased," Hiccup assumed.

"Perhaps this will keep them off-balance," said Astrid hopefully.

"Drago appearance shows that he starting to take a personal interest in our conflict," said Stoick. "Until he is taken down, I'm afraid that none of you will be getting any rest."

"We won't be caught with our pants down this time," Snotlout assured.

"Good," Stoick nodded. "However, this conflict shows that you all of you can pull it together even when you face against a dangerous foe and I can't say enough that I am proud of you all."

"Thank you, sir," Hiccup smiled at his father.
