Back at headquarters, the Truck finally arrived at the docking bay, with all the much needed materials to repair all the mecha. This was something which the Boukengers could only cheer on.

"So finally, we won't have to rely on Verne anymore to take care of those giant monsters." Sakura stated.

Satoru laughed at her remark: "Come on now, Sakura, he may have a bit of a loose tongue, but he's really not that bad a guy."

"How's your shoulder anyhow?" Masumi wondered.

"Still hurts, but not too bad anymore." Satoru said.

"On the bright side, Vlad's body is back in our possession." Souta reminded everyone.

"That's the best news Natsuki-tachi have heard today." Natsuki was overly enthousiastic about this.

"I wouldn't cheer too soon just yet." Mr. Voice reminded them, "Right now, we only know what Schreck needed Vlad for, and therefor have an idea of what he's capable of."

"Your point?" Souta asked.

"Only that Schreck may not just give up." Eiji replied, "If he'd aim as high to use Vlad, who knows what else he may try."

"Indeed, Silver." Mr. Voice confirmed.

"Cheer up." Satoru told everyone, "It's not like we haven't faced nearly indestructible people before."

"That's another thing that bothers me." Mr. Voice told them, "You may have defeated Gaia, but we don't know for sure if he's really dead."

"That's true." Masumi realized, "If he'd go as far as to bring people back to life, who knows who he'll raise next."

That's when Verne entered the room: "Well, Makino's still setting the whole thing up down there, but I'm sure it won't be long before you're all back at full power."

"That's good to hear." Satoru replied, "It looks as though we could use some good news."

"Oh really?" Verne sounded surprised.

"A day will come that you controlling your Truck isn't enough." Mr. Voice told him.

"Yes, and the day that even all of our mecha together won't be enough either will come too." Verne replied, with a sarcastic tone.

"What do you mean by that?" Masumi asked.

"Let's just say..." Verne looked at Mr. Voice's screen as he said that.

"Emerald!" Mr. Voice turned angry, "You don't want to finish that sentence."

Verne turned his face away from the screen: "Ironic."

"What is?" Souta asked him.

"Today we just helped people from becoming slaves, but here we do as we're told by some thing that only exists on the scree..."

"Emerald! You don't want to go there!" Mr. Voice sounded more furious than before.

"Maybe I do! Ever thought of that?" Verne replied.

Satoru suggested something else: "... Maybe we should just go away and let those two fight it out."

As he suggested, everyone left the room.

While they were on their way to... wherever else they would go, Souta wondered: "Whatever's bothering Verne the whole time, it seems more personal."

"This is nothing like how we fought with Mr. Voice." Masumi added.

"What do you think, Satory?" Sakura asked him.

Satoru shrugged: "I haven't seen him fight with Mr. Voice as long as the rest of you have, so I wouldn't know."

"Natsuki wonders if Verne perhaps knows Voice-sama personally." Natsuki mentioned.

Everyone froze at that idea. But they all shook it off afterwards.

THE END
