For obvious reasons, the Darkrangers were not intimidated by the the Magirangers' pose. As soon as they were finished, their fight started. Each one fought their respective colors, but neither one was strong enough to fight their darker versions. It didn't take long before they were all taken down.
Wolzard Fire had more luck with Wolzard, but not enough. At times, there was enough opening for one of them to start talking.
"Your children may not want to harm anyone." Wolzard hissed, "But what about you?"
"I'm no different from my kids!" Wolzard Fire persisted.
"So you say." Wolzard replied, "But remember, you were me, once."
At that point, Wolzard Fire started to hesitate on his last attack, which gave Wolzard enough opening for an attack, which striked him down.
"Remember?" Wolzard continued, "Every time you fought your own children. Every time you fought your comrades. Every time you wanted to destroy Magitopia."
"No... you're wrong!" Wolzard Fire persisted.
"Am I?" Wolzard was not convinced of that.
At that moment, some rays of light shot at every Darkranger, and Wolzard. While it took down the Darkrangers, Wolzard was the only one still standing afterwards.
"Need help?" Magishine sounded happy to join in with the fight.
"No, Sungel." Wolzard Fire got up again, "I'll deal with him myself!"
The Darkrangers were backed up, but still ready to fight.
"Thanks you, Hikaru-sensei." Magired said, "But we can take these guys ourselves."
His brothers and sisters agreed.
Meanwhile, as this fight is going on, Vancuria was floating over the remains of Zedd's lair. It was a somewhat macabre sight, but nothing that a vampire wouldn't enjoy. She landed, and split herself into Nai and Mae.
"This is so strange." Nai spoke.
"So strange." Mae repeated.
"That this whole castle was floating in the air..." Nai started.
"But we never saw it." Mae finished.
That's when Mae's foot hit something.
"What is this?" she wondered, as she bent down to pick it up.
"The dead always leave nice things behind." Nai remarked.
What Mae found was Zedd's sphere, but neither one of them knew what it held inside it.
When it was picked up, Sutokeru could feel it. Much like his earlier attempt at moving around caused the entire area to start shaking, this time he felt it shaking too. But he didn't do anything this time, so what's causing this?
"Blast it!" he could hear Zedd curse.
"Blast it?" Sutokeru laughed, "Garth was a lot more creative than you are when it comes to curses."
"I don't need to remind you that I'm not your friend!" Zedd responded.
"But you tried to be." Sutokeru kept laughing, "And you still fail miserably."
"Don't try and make me angry, Matt!" Zedd replied.
That's when things started to shake more heavily.
"What's going on?" Zedd wondered, "The fools aren't tossing it around, are they?!"
As Zedd feared, that was exactly what Nai and Mae were doing.
"This is fun." Nai remarked.
"Fun." Mae repeated.
Back inside the sphere, this gave Sutokeru some new hope, which showed on his face.
"Don't keep your hopes up." Zedd told him, "Aren't you afraid of what'll happen when this breaks, with you still inside it?"
"And with you still inside it as well." Sutokeru reminded him.
"Well then, how about I tell you who's the one tossing this around?" Zedd laughed.
Sutokeru didn't quite understand: "Meaning?"
"Those vampire friends of yours." Zedd told him, "They're too agile, to quick with their reflexes. They won't drop anything that easily. So you don't have to worry about them dropping this any time soon. If at all!"
This was followed by an evil laughter, at which Sutokeru didn't know what to say.
