Hunting for Death?

"Uhhh...w-where am I?" Rory groaned.

"They're waking up!" Rin called out as she ran over to Rory's side.

"About time!" Cyrus walked over to see the other Rangers slowly waking up as well. They all looked over to find themselves back in base.

"Man, you guys were out for a while." Ike told them.

"Really? How long?" Shaun asked.

"Around a week."

"A week!" Chase said in shock.

"Yeah, Death really did a number on you guys." Commented Syren.

"That's right...Death attacked us." Sighed Megan.

"Great, we've been out for a week. Bet there's been alot of destruction going on huh?" Zan asked dissapointed.

"Actually everything's been fine. Yeah, it was starting to get annoying that one of the Reapers kept checking in to see if you guys would come out to fight." Cyrus informed.

"A Reaper came to check on us?" Megan repeated.

"Yeah, he was hoping you'd guys come out to fight. You never did, so he said that once you wake up you better be ready. Or else he'll just tell Nightmare to nuke the city."

"Are you serious! He wants to nuke the whole city! Can he even do that?" Shaun asked.

"Nightmare is getting stronger by the day, he can basically nuke the state at this point with a mere thought." Syren sighed.

"Wow...what a nuisance." Chase sighed.

"You're telling us! We have to stop Nightmare and the rest of the Reapers! We've killed three out of four Horsemen, plus the one that keeps checking in on us." Zan counted.

"Let's not forget Lycanrio I think his name was." Chase looked at Shaun.

"Yeah, probably the nicest Reaper we've encountered thus far." Shaun sighed.

"Anyways...what are we supposed to do now? Just wait until the Reaper comes back to check on us?" Rory asked.

"Or you guys can go out there and try to bring him to you. Then you can fight him on your standars." Ike told them, "That's the way I see it at least."

"Like we have any other choices..." Zan sighed.

"Well..."

*Beeep* *Beeep* *Beeep*

"What's that?" Syren asked.

"He's back." Rin told them.

"Who?" Everyone asked.

"Wormwood." Rin pointed to the monitor. Shaun, Zan, Megan, Rory, and Syren all looked at the screen. It was a large block of what appeared to be stone. He had a small red dome head, he was big and bulky. On his arms were two large metorite like shields each with a crater in the middle. The monster was around six foot three. He knelt down on the ground with both shields in front of him.

"That's Wormwood?" Shaun asked.

"Yeah..."

"Well then...let's get him." Zan sighed.

"Chase?" Megan turned around to look for Chase, he was not there.

"Where's Chase?" Rory asked.

"Where's Cyrus?" Syren asked.

"Did they just leave?" Ike asked, "No way they would've just left us here guys."

"Then what? They just turned in to thin air Ike?" Megan looked at him.

"Look, we don't have time to discuss this. For all we know Cyrus pulled Chase aside for a personal talk. Who knows or cares about what." Shaun looked at his friends, "Syren...without Chase we are one man short. Would you mind joining us in this fight against Wormwood?"

"Gladly." Syren smiled, "Over the week Cyrus made me a Morpher that will help my abilites that I'd like to test out. Might be time limited, but it'll work."

"Perfect." Shaun nodded then looked back at the screen, "Well guys...it's time to get crazy!"

Meanwhile...

"Chase you sure about this?" Cyrus asked looking at a large mountain top on his computer screen.

"Oh yeah." Chase nodded, "I need to do this."

"Without the team?" Cyrus asked him.

"I need to do this alone. After what happened...I can't risk their lives. I'm the only one that can do this."

"You do know what's at risk right? If you it all goes wrong?" Cyrus was concerned for his friend's safety.

"Cyrus trust me." Chase told him, "I'll come back...I need to do this...no matter the cost. Even if it means sacraficing myself for the win."

"Huh..." Cyrus looked at the computer screen at the mountain top. Lightning began to strike in one spot non stop. What made this bad was that, not only did the lightning strike repeatedly in one area, but the mountain was a volcano!

"Alright..." Cyrus began typing in codes and such, "Good luck." Cyrus sighed as Chase's molecules slowly began to break down.

"Thanks...I'll be back...maybe." With that Chase was gone.

"Ha!" Wormwood punched Shaun sending him flying back, "You thought the five of you could pierce my ultimate shield?"

"SPD Blaster!" Shaun tried to fire more lasers, but Wormwood blocked them.

"Frost Blade Mode: Ice Sabre!" Rory swung her light blue glowing sword at Wormwood.

"That's the power of my brother War!" Wormwood lifted one shield, "Frost Beam!" From his sheild a blue beam of light shot Rory in the chest.

"Aaaahh!" Slowly her body began to freeze.

"Flame Barrage!" Zan fired multiple flaming arrows out towards the Reaper.

"Frost Beam!" Wormwood shot a blue beam once more at Zan. The beam of blue froze the arrows. The now frozen arrows dropped to the ground.

"Fissure Flail!" Megan began swinging her staff wildly towards Wormwood. Wormwood raised his shield and blocked the barrage of attacks. With each strike from Megan's staff Wormwood was pushed back. He felt each shockwave she sent through his sheilds and body.

"Flame Beam!" A red beam shot out from Wormwood's second shield and struck Megan in the chest.

"Guah!" She felt her body lit on fire as she fell to the ground.

"Hahaha! Next!"

"Dragon Drill!" Syren, who is in her Ancient Dragon Ranger Form. Syren's Ancient Dragon Ranger Form looks very similar to the Psycho Rangers Form's. In places of where a normal Psycho Ranger would have colored armor, she had Dragon Heads. Then on her wrists were also dragon heads, on her back were dragon wings, her helmet was a dragon's head who had it's mouth open revealing her visor. Using her Dragon Drill Syren lifted both of her hands to create two dragon shaped drill weapons. She dove down at Wormwood and thrusted them outwards towards him.

"Frost Flare Fusion Beam!" Lifting up both shields Wormwood combined both the blue beam and the red beam. They helixed around each other, right before crashing into Syren. She was knocked down out of the air.

"Syren!" Shaun kneeled by her.

"Frost Flare Fusion Beam!" Wormwood did the same move, and aimed it towards Shaun.

"SPD Full Charge!" Shaun took aim as hsi blaster began to charge up a light blue beam in the barrel.

"Take this!" Wormwood shouted firing out the beam with more force and power.

"SPD Blaster Fully Charged! Fire!" Shaun pulled the trigger releasing a powerful light blue beam that crashed in to Wormwood's attack.

"You have no choice!" Wormwood shouted, "You are going to die before Death even gets a rematch!"

"Grrrr..." Shaun growled angrily as he tried to hold off Wormwood's attack.

"Chase..." He thought, "Where are you?"

Meanwhile...

"So you've decided to take me head on?" Death asked.

"Yeah...I'm the only one that can take you. I know it." Chase responded.

"Are you serious? You'd rather fight me one on one than with a team? You must have a Death wish...which I'm fine with." Death glared at Chase through his hood.

"Why do you think you're the only one that can take me?" Death asked.

"I don't know...I just have a strong feeling about this...I feel like we need to fight. If we're going to stop and kill Nightmare once and for all...I'm going to need to defeat you."

"By yourself?" Death asked.

"Yeah...by myself." Chase assured.

"Well then..." Death grabbed onto his hood and tossed it off. A flash of lightning rained down between the two. Death smiled as the shadows covered his form. But as the shadows faded Chase's eyes widened.

"No way..."

"Let's do it!"

Next Time: Chase decides to take on Death all by himself! While his friends battle with Wormwood! How will the respective groups do against their respective Reapers?
