Trying to Avoid Famine?
Famine looked about as he tried to look for the Rangers to return so he could finish the job once and for all.
"Hey Famine!" Chase called out.
"There you are!" Famine smiled as he saw all five of the Psycho Rangers make their re-apperance.
"We are ready this time! We'll take you down for sure!"
"Are you positive about this?" Famine asked.
"Yeah!" Shaun yelled back.
"This might be your first day back to life..." Megan started.
"But it's also your last!" Rory finished.
"We'll see about that. You guys sure do like to talk! Oh well!" Famine then began shooting multiple arrows straight at the five rangers.
"I don't think so!" Zan jumped in the way and took out his own bow and arrow as he began shooting down the arrows Famine had shot out. All of Famine's arrows went through Zan's laser like arrows with ease.
"Whoa!" Zan jumped out of the way, but then quickly began shooting Famine non stop with his laser arrows. Famine was unphased, but continued to shoot at Zan.
"Can you keep up Famine?" Zan taunted as he had quickly transformed in his Werewolf form. The other Rangers transformed into their second forms as well.
"Can I keep up?" Famine scoffed as he appeared in front of Zan with multiple arrows at the ready, "Can you keep up is the real question!" Famine released all of his arrows. Zan jumped to the side dodging few, very few. He felt his arm pierced with one of the arrows, Famine then appeared by Zan's side and punched him in the face.
"Aaah!" Zan went flying and crashed into a building.
"Ground Shot!" Famine shot a single arrow in the ground then multiple arrows shot up from the ground and began attacking Zan. The arrows were made out of stone.
"Wind Piercer!" Famine shot an arrow in the air and it stopped, that single arrow then released multiple wind arrows.
"Whoa!" Zan jumped out of the way and quickly tried to out run each arrow as fast as he could.
"Dragon Flame!" Rory jumped down from the sky above Famine and released a powerful purple stream of fire.
"Ground Shot!" Famine jumped back and shot an arrow in to the ground below Rory. Then multiple stone arrows came out towards rory.
"I'll handle those!" Shaun cried out shooting the arrows with his blaster.
"Wind Piercer!" Famine shot out another arrow and released multiple wind arrows.
"Dino Thunder Saber!" Megan jumped to the aid of Shaun and slashed as many nearly invisible arrows as she could.
"Hey over here!" Zan cried out as he slashed Famine's back, yet Famine appeared untouched.
"Hmph!" Famine pulled his arm back and elbowed Zan in the face sending him flying through the air.
"Don't forget about me!" Chase called swinging his swok. Famine simply jumped forwards, then shot more arrows piercing Chase's body with ease. Chase skidded back. Shaun then tried to shoot down Famine with his blaster again, Famine spun around and deflected the shots. Famine vanished and appeared above Shaun, he shot Shaun in his shoulder. Famine then landed in front of Shaun and kicked him in his chest sending him flying back.
"Dragon Burst!" Rory flew towards Famine and released a ball of purple fire that exploded on contact with Famine. Famine turned towards Rory with anger before nailing her with more arrows.
"Augh!" Rory felt the arrows enter her shoulders and pin her down against a wall.
"Hope you like death!" Famine shouted as he began to pull back a single arrow, "Arrow Barrage!" Once letting go of that single arrow, it bursted into thousands and thousands of more.
"No! Rory!" Megan jumped in the way of the attack ready to take it all in.
"No! Megan!" Chase called out, "Shaun help me out!" Chase demanded.
"Right!" Both of them jumped in the way of the attack protecting both girls of their teams. Chase and Shaun felt every single arrow pierce their body and leave like a sword through water. Unnerving to them knowing that any one arrow could force them to de-morph while the rest would finish them off. Whih happened. Both of them were forced to de-morph and they both fell down to the ground.
"No! Chase! Shaun!" Megan cried out.
"Megan watch out!" Rory screamed.
"Wha-" Megan was cut off as Famine kneed her in the face sending her slightly floating upwards.
"Spiral Shot!" He cried out releasing a spinning arrow that entered and left Megan's body forcing her to de-morph. She crashed hard into the ground, left motionless.
"Next girl! You! Spiral Shot Barrage!" Famine shot off another spinning arrow, and this one bursted into many all forcing their way into Rory's body. She then de-morphed and fell to the ground lifeless.
"Grrr...guys!" Zan cried out as he walked out from the rubble, "You guys!"
"Ha! You still live? All of your friends are dead now!" Famine taunted, "Nice job in helping them!"
"No..." Zan muttered, "B-but you must be out of arrows by now right?"
"Was that your plan?" Famine scoffed, "I am a Reaper for a reason! I am a Horseman for a reason! My arrows are unlimited!"
"What!" Zan said in shock.
"Meaning my arrows are infinite! I never run out of arrows!" Famine said cockily as he pulled back another arrow.
"N-no...then our plan...it failed...and they all...died for nothing?" Zan fell to his knees as he quickly saddened. The world was ending, he was fighting a Reaper, Nightmare was reigning over the world, and he was the last Psycho Ranger standing. Nothing could make it worse.
"You end here Ranger!" Famine let go of the arrow. Zan saw no point in resisting the arrow. All of his friends were dead. He would die eventually as well too. Right? So why fight it? Even if he defeated Famine he would have to fight Nightmare's army all by himself now. There was nothing for him to do. It was hopeless, yet at the same time. It was worth a shot.
"Raaaaa!" Zan lunged at Famine's arrow with his Werewolf Katar's at the ready. He then slashed the arrow in half.
"What the!" Famine was surprised by this. Zan than quickly dissappeared.
"You want to play the speed game then huh?" Famine chuckled as he vanished as well. Famine stood on top of a building shooting arrows down at the city below. Zan then ran up the building where Famine was and destroyed all the arrows coming his way.
"You'll pay for killing my friends!" Zan screamed as he jumped to the top of the building and slashed Famine's chest.
"You think that will do something?" Famine mocked as he got another arrow at the ready.
"I'm sick and tired of these arrows of yours! Full Moon Claw Slash!" Zan's claws began to glow brightly, he then swung both of them and destroyed Famine's arrow.
"What the!" Famine was knocked back by the explosion and flew off the top of the building.
"I'm coming for you!" Zan yelled as he jumped over, the now broken bow, and on top of Famine. Zan drove his clawed weapons into Famine's body and drove him in to the ground. The collision from the two of them into the earth was massive. A large crater was made where they lai.
"Get off me!" Famine shouted as he punched Zan sending him skidding back. Famine jumped up and stuck a hand out.
"I don't really need a bow!" Famine shouted as he shot an arrow from his hand.
"Ha!" Zan blocked the arrow with ease.
"Since I did not train, nor was I made, to use arrows from my body they are limited and much much weaker.. If I had my bow I could end him on the spot now for even touching me." Famine thought.
"Crescent Claw!" Zan curved both of his hands as he slashed Famine, causing him to stumble back.
"That made me move? Impossible!" Famine shouted.
"Claw Shots!" Zan shot all of his claws towards Famine, piercing his body. What neither of them noticed was that Famine's body was now being chipped away at. Famine could not feel it and Zan could not see it.
"Let go of me!" Famine shouted shooting multiple arrows from his body.
"No!" Zan then quickly pulled Famine in and reeled his claws back in, "Moon Slayer!" Zan swung both of his claws as they shined brightly creating a blinding luminescent light as he slashed and stabbed Famine with such incredible speed.
"Aaaaaugh!" Famine felt each attack, then the two realized Famine was slowly starting to crumble.
"What is this?" Zan wondered aloud.
"Y-you cracked my Nightmare Crystal!" Famine shouted, "That's what gives the Reaper's power!"
"Nightmare Crystal huh? Well then what happens if something of pure evil meets something that is fighting for the greater good?" Zan asked mockingly.
"Don't do it!" Famine shouted enraged. Zan quickly thrusted his claws into Famine's chest and pulled out a black and red crystal. The crystal slowly began to burn brightly in his hand.
"Nightmare will get you for this weakling! You will surely pay!" Famine shouted, he slowly faded into some kind of green aura like color. He then entered the Nightmare Crystal Zan held. Once this happened the Nightmare Crystal gave off a powerful green aura. It went from being black and red to being transparent with a green energy like aura inside.
"That...was for my friends." Zan panted heavily as he de-morphed.
"Zan!" A voice screamed out.
"Huh?" Zan turned around to see Chase, Shaun, Megan, and Rory all battered and bruised approaching him.
"You guys!" Zan quickly ran over to his friends and hugged them.
"You did it! You defeat Famine!" Rory celebrated.
"All by yourself too!" Megan smiled.
"Look who's stepping up to the plate." Shaun joked.
"You trying to be Red Ranger now?" Chase chuckled.
"No no.." Zan laughed lightly, "I'm glad you guys are okay."
"Us too, I thought we were all dead." Chase sighed.
"Me too...look we should get back to base and show Cyrus what I found." Zan held up the newly transformed Nightmare Crystal.
"What is it?" Rory asked.
"I don't know...Famine said it's a Nightmare Crystal, or it was until I took it from him. He said all the Reapers have one." Zan explained.
"Well maybe that's their power, but what is it now? Because it looks harmless." Megan admitted looking at the crystal.
"Looks more like a diammond now." Shaun scoffed.
"Let's show it to Cyrus and get his intel on it." Chase told the group.
"Right." They all nodded, then headed back to base. Zan looked at the diammond and smiled, he had just taken down a Horseman.
Next Time: Cyrus tells the Rangers about the Nightmare Crystal and about the Dream Diammond. Syren then also puts her historical input on the Nightmare Crystals and the Dream Diammonds as well.
