Boukemerald was surrounded by Polongs. The same type of people that he met before. This time, however, there were either more of them, or since he was alone, too many of them. Boukemerald used his shield to deflect every one of their attacks, but that couldn't last long. Until somebody shot at them, causing the rest to take a few steps back.
"You needed help?" Boukenred exclaimed.
"About time you showed up." Boukemerald complained, but since he was pinned down at the time, he only then got up to see Satoru in his suit, "Finally I see Boukenred in action."
"Whoever said that 'red' means 'stop', huh?" Boukenred replied.
"Funny." another man's voice said, "I thought red meant blood, and war."
Both Boukenred and Boukemerald turned to see who spoke, as the Polongs moved themselves away to make room for the speaker. It was a man who appeared in his thirties, had a big moustache, and carried around what looked like wooden stakes.
It didn't take long before Boukemerald had an idea of who this was: "Vlad?"
The man smirked: "So you know me."
"Huh?" Boukenred was surprised, "Is that Vlad the Impaler?"
"So Schreck brought you back to life." Boukemerald said, while he noticed just how inactive the Polongs had become.
"You're going to try and convert us all?" Boukenred asked.
"Only those that my returner and me find worthy of eternal life." Vlad replied.
"You... what?" Boukemerald didn't understand.
"What does that mean?" Boukenred asked.
Again, Vlad smirked: "I was told that there may be people who'd disagree. I was also told it was just the one emerald man there, but now there's two of you."
"Actually..." Boukenred said, "There's seven of us. You can take us two down, but then you'll still have five others to deal with."
Vlad shrugged: "I seem to not have any problem with that."
"How come can you even speak Japanese?" Boukemerald asked him.
"The same way that I can do this..." Vlad answered, as he raised his arms, after which he changed into a scaly dragon-esque being, that still wore the same clothes and weapons that he was carrying in human form, "Polongs, step back!"
That's when the three of them started to fight hand-on-hand. After some time, Vlad decided to use two of his wooden stakes on the two. He stabbed them into Boukenred's shoulder and Boukemerald's arm. Though none of it was lethal, it was enough to take both of them down.
"You two are too easy." Vlad hissed, "I don't know what got Schrek to think of you so dangerously."
He turned away from the two, then commanded: "Polongs, take care of them!"
Upon hearing him, the Polongs became active again and hurt the two even more than they already were.
Suddenly, something shot at them. They all took a few steps back, after which the other Boukengers, though still unable to put on their suits, joined in on the battle. The Polongs knew then that they had lost, so they retreated. That's when the Boukengers tried to help their friends.
"Satoru! Are you alright?" Sakura asked him.
"This looks bad." Souta said.
"Who did this to you?" Eiji asked.
"Who do you think." Boukemerald replied, "We protected his dead body, and this is how he thanks us. The bastard."
"You don't mean... Vlad?" Masumi needed confirmation.
"Oh no..." Natsuki sounded in a panic.
"Never mind all that." Mr. Voice said over Boukenred and Boukemerald's radios, "Take them back to headquarters."
