The Boukengers walked further, until they reached an emty place in the mountains.
"Where to now?" Masumi asked.
"Er... this is the place." Verne replied, knowing that this didn't make much sense himself.
"It's empty!?" Souta said.
"Be that as it may..." Verne insisted, "... this here indicates this is the spot."
Somewhat annoyed Eiji turned away from them. That's when he stepped on something that felt weird to him. He looked down to see what he stepped on, the picked it up. It was a little weird shaped device which had a red lamp that kept blinking.
"Is this the transmitter?" Eiji asked.
Verne looked at what what Eiji held, after which he swore: "They were on to us!"
That was when the pale creatures they had encountered before appeared from around them. Each one was babbling something inexplicable, not that it mattered to the Boukengers if these things said anything. Among them was also the wolf that was encountered before.
"Verne?" Masumi started, "How strong are these Polongs?"
"How should I know?" Verne replied.
"Everybody, look!" Natsuki exclaimed.
As she told them, everybody looked to see what Natsuki was pointing at. The sun had already disappeared behind the horizon, allowing the moon alone to shed it's light upon the planet. Once that was seen, the wolf started to act quite strangely, as though it was either retracting some of his limbs to make room for others, or was somehow becoming bigger. It took a while before everyone realized it was changing form.
"Is..." Souta didn't know how to best put this into words, "... Is that what you were afraid of?"
Verne hesitated, but replied none the less: "Yes... a wolf by day, a vampire at night."
Suddenly the wolf had taken the shape of a man, who was somewhere around his forties, and wore wolf-skinned clothes.
"Vukodlak..." Verne whispered.
The wolf-man, or wolf-vampire, smirked at the sound of that word, at which point he too said something in his own language, to which Verne replied.
"He doesn't sound too enthusiast about meeting someone who knows his language." Souta remarked.
"That's not his language." Masumi corrected him, "It doesn't at all sound like what I heard him speak before."
"Now..." the Vukodlak said in Japanese, "... isn't that a little rude of you to speak in a language they don't know?"
"You started it!" Verne bit back.
To this, Vukodlak could not say anything, so he changed the subject: "It's too late for you to do anything anyway."
"We'll just see about that!" Masumi said, as he was about to use his Accelular.
"Masumi-chan, no!" Natsuki stopped him, "Henshin is not possible yet!"
Vukodlak could not understand: "Henshin?"
"That would be this!" Verne shouted, as he changed into Boukemerald.
"That's it?" Vukodlak was unimpressed, "Schreck taught me to do better than that."
"Schreck?" Boukemerald sounded surprised, "He's still alive?"
"Who's Schreck?" Souta asked.
Before anyone could answer, Vukodlak changed too. He kept his wolf-skinned clothes, only his head and hands changed visibly, as it took a more wolf-like shape. Upon changing, he gave the order to his foot-soldiers: "Polongs, attack!"
Since there was only one among them who could transform, the other four were more easy targets to the Polongs. Boukemerald wanted to help them, but then he remembered himself of something else, as he murmured in his own language: "Why did Makino not equip me with weapons yet?"
That's when he decided to use the following tactic: "Everyone! Drive them together!"
Everybody did as they were told and drove the Polongs together. Meanwhile, Boukemerald called upon the team's Accel-Tecter. But shortly after doing so, Vukodlak jumped at Boukemerald, causing the Tecter to fly off into the air.
Masumi could only just catch it, after which he leaned himself against a nearby tree, shouting at everyone: "Get down!"
Once everyone was down, Masumi fired the Tecter. Not only did it cause him to fly away, through the tree even, but at least the Polongs were beaten.
"Masumi-chan!" Natsuki shouted worriedly.
This infuriated Vukodlak: "What did you just do?!"
Boukemerald, who was trying to get back on his feet, as he was forced to fight this enemy alone, laughed as he remarked: "I guess that humans have evolved to be a much stronger enemy now."
Hearing this, Vukodlak only grew more angry, which caused him to change into a giant.
Boukemerald had joined the others, who were taking care of Masumi: "Is he all right?"
"He will be." Eiji replied, "But we have more pressing matters now."
"How do we fight that now?" Boukemerald wondered.
"Makino!" Souta called through his Accellular, "Can we still control DaiBouken?"
Makino sighed through the phone: "It's hard, with one of you wounded and another who isn't a Precious yet."
"But it's possible?"
"Another who... what?" Boukemerald had trouble understanding Makino's remark.
"Yes, but it won't be easy." Makino replied.
"Natsuki is not going to leave Masumi-chan." Natsuki said.
"Then it's just the three of us." Eiji decided.
"No matter." Souta said, "Gou Gou Vehicles, launch!"
The five vehicles needed to form DaiBouken arrived and combined. First thing the three Boukengers did, was to call upon the giant robot's spade and shovel, but these weapons weren't strong enough to fight off Vukodlak, nor did he give them any time to let the two weapons form one sword. In a desperate attempt to fend off another one of his attacks, DaiBouken held the two weapons in front of him. For some reason, that stopped Vukodlak from doing anything. In fact, it somehow got him to back off.
"What's he doing?" Souta wondered.
When Boukemerald looked at the way that the shovel and spade were held, he noticed how they formed something that looked like a cross: "He must be afraid of the cross we just formed."
"But I thought Christianity was a hoax?" Souta remembered.
"Maybe that Vukadlak doesn't know that." Eiji figured.
"Works enough for me." Boukemerald decided.
DaiBouken formed the one sword, and used his deadly attack to kill Vukodlak. One explosion, turning the vampire into dust, was the effect, and Vukodlak was gone.
