A Destructive Light!

"We've defeated the Horsemen..." Shaun sighed. Him and the Rangers decided to stay in their Ranger forms just to be safe.

"About time..." Panted Syren.

"Well, we've defeated most of them anyways." Megan pointed out, "We still haven't defeated Death."

"Who know's when he'll be here." Zan shrugged.

"We can't just sit around and wait for him to attack us. Can we?" Rory asked, "I'm all down for attacking him, instead of him attacking us."

"I am too." Zan nodded.

"But the problem is, that we don't know where he is." Shaun informed them.

"On top of that, just because we've defeated the Horsemen doesn't mean we've defeated all the Reapers." Syren pointed out, "The Horsemen consists of four powerful Reapers. If you include Wormwood, that's five. There's one more Reaper we have to fight off."

"Great, who would that be?" Megan sighed.

"That would be me, unfortunaetly."

"Huh?" Everybody turned around to see some sort of werewolf in samurai armor.

"Lycanrio?" Shaun muttered.

"You remember me Blue Ranger? Lucky me." Lycanrio smiled.

"Shaun, you know him?" Rory asked.

"Yeah, when I went to save Chase he let us escape the space base." Shaun explained.

"So he's a nice Reaper?" Zan asked.

"Nope, just a lazy one." Lycanrio informed, "I didn't feel like dealing with them there. Also I wanted to fight them at their full strength. On top of that all I really wanted to do was destroy that lame space base." Lycanrio sighed, "But now I'm done with all that. I've seen you all grown and evolve with your powers, so I'm glad you've made it this far. Normally I wouldn't fight, but with your guys new levels of strength you might excite me." Lycanrio got in a fighting stance.

"Alright guys, time to morph huh?" Shaun took Wormwood's Nightmare Crystal and prepared to use it.

"Light Beam!" Lycanrio shot the Nightmare Crystal with a beam of light.

"Whoa!" The crystal flew out of Shaun's hand and skid across the ground.

"Full Moon Howl!" Lyrcanrio howled at the top of his lungs creating a very destruction shock wave.

"Whoa!" Everybody was thrown off balance by the attack. Craters began to appear in the ground, buildings began to collapse, the sky began to split in half.

"What is this!" Zan shouted, but he was drowned out by the attack.

"What!" Shaun shouted back.

"Nevermind!" Zan shouted.

"What!" Shaun shouted again.

"Light Beam!" Lycanrio pointed his finger at the Rangers and fired multiple beams of light at them.

"Aaaahh!" They all went flying back.

"Lone Wolf!" Lycanrio reeled his body to the side and lifted his right leg. He then spun around, swinging his leg and releasing a curving beam of light towards the Rangers.

"You guys watch out!" Shaun ordered as he, and the others jumped out of the way.

"Light Beam!"

"Dark Slayer!" Rory jumped in the way of the beam of energy. Her sword was coated with a black energy. She swung her sword and clashed with the beam of light.

"Lone Wolf!" Lycanrio reeled his body back and swung his leg again releasing another curved light beam.

"Shadow Shot!" Zan leaped over Rory and shot black energized arrows towards the curved light.

"Flame Ring!" Megan slammed her staff on the ground creating a ring of fire.

"Dragon Drill!" Syren used the gauntlets on her wrist to create two dragon like drills. She then dove at Lycanrio.

"Wolf Pack!" Lycanrio jumped back and sent out a larger version of his Lone Wolf attack. Once it got close, the blade exploded into four blades of curved light. They all then smashed against Syren's body.

"Aaahh!"

"Light Show!" Megan slammed her staff in the ground again releasing various beams of light that flew towards Lycanrio.

"Crescent Kick!" Lycanrio jumped in the air as his foot was coated with a purple aura. He swung his leg in a semi-circular motion and slashed away Megan's attack, "Light Beam!" He then shot Megan in the chest with a beam of light.

"Guah!"

"Hmph, you Rangers can't stanbd up to me." Lycanrio smirked, "I honestly thought you'd guys would put more of a fight though."

"Lightning Cannon!" Shaun was in the air as he fired a bolt of lightning towards Lycanrio.

"Crescent Kick: Full Moon!" Lycanrio coated his foot in purple energy again. He swung his leg in a full circular motion and sent it towards Shaun creating a vertical ring of light.

"Whoa!" Shaun side stepped the attack, just barely dodging it.

"Wolf Colony!" Lycanrio reeled his body back and swung it forwards releasing a arched beam of light. The arched light beam was aimed right for Shaun.

"Shaun watch out!" Megan cried out as she jumped in front of Shaun, "Gravity Slam!" Megan slammed her staff on the ground increasing the gravity around them. The arched wave of light Lycanrio created exploded and bursted in to twenty diffrent beams of light.

"Scatter Shot Element: Lightning!" Zan released a large amount of arrows that turned in to lightning. They combatted the arched light beams sent out by Lycanrio.

"Crash Lightning Slash!" Rory jumped in the air above Lycanrio, she raised her blade high in to the air. Rory then swung her sword down at Lycanrio and summoned a powerful lightning bolt that slammed in to the Reaper's body.

"Nghh..." Lycanrio gritted his teeth, yet he did not take serious damage.

"Dragon Flame Driver!" Syren rushed Lycanrio with one hand out coated in flames. Syren's gauntlet hand turned into a drill covered in fire, she then drilled it right in to Lycanrio's chest.

"Grrr..." Lycanrio skidded back from the attack, "Light Beam!" Once more from Lycanrio's finger a beam of light pierced Syren's chest.

"Aaahh!"

"Lone Wolf!" Lycanrio hit Syren with a stream of light he kicked at her. Syren was sent rolling against the destroyed ground, "I thought you guys would be more of a challenge. I think it's time I end this..."

Meanwhile...

"Chase!" Cyrus shouted, "Chase!" Cyrus teleported himself right where Chase was in hopes of finding him. Cyrus was the one that sent him there, so now he just needed to bring him back.

"Uhhh...Cyrus?" Chase groaned, but he was so far away Cyrus couldn't hear him.

"Chase! Come on man, where are you? The Rangers need you!" Cyrus cried out.

"I-I'm here..." Chase groaned once more.

"Come on! They're fighting another Reaper right now! They need your help!"

"I'm here!" Chase cried out with all his might.

"Huh?" Cyrus looked down the remains of the mountain and saw Chase. He was laying on the ground, while a pool of lava slowly etched it's way towards him.

"Chase!" Cyrus quickly charged down to Chase's side, by using the remaining stone islands on the side of the volcano.

"G-great..." Chase smiled weakly.

"Are you alright?" Cyrus lifted Chase up to his feet, "Did you actually defeat Death?"

"Of course...told you I would." Smiled Chase.

"Yeah, yeah. Look the others..."

"Are fighting another Reaper I know." Chase groaned, "Take us back to base. I'll handle it."

"But you don't have the strength to take on the Reaper. Even with the power you've kidnapped from Death." Cyrus explained.

"I'll be fine..." Chase lightly pushed Cyrus away from him, "I can stand by myself as well. I need to test out Death's power. So let's get going."

"Huh...fine. I'll take us to the city." Chase placed his hand on Cyrus's shoulder. Cyrus typed in the code, and instantly the duo were tansfered back in to Rivertown.

"Alpha Wolf!" Lycanrio sent out a powerful light beam like drill that drove it's way through all of the Rangers.

"Aaaahh!" All the Rangers fell to the ground and were forced to De-morph.

"T-this guy..." Shaun muttered, "H-he's so strong." Shaun tried to stand.

"We can't defeat him...he's too strong." Zan groaned.

"I don't believe it." A voice scoffed.

"Huh?" Everybody looked to see the direction of the voice.

"You guys give up because I'm gone?" Chase smiled.

"Chase!" Everybody cried out.

"Look, I know I've been gone for a while...and that I'm not exactly the best in shape either..."

"Get to the point please." Megan asked.

"I'll handle it from here." Chase showed his Dream Diamond, "Psycho Up: Death!"

"What!" Everyone was in shock as Chase began to take a new form. A bright red flame devoured the Red Ranger. On his right arm a large red triangular gauntlet formed, on his left arm a orange metalic dragon head shaped gauntlet formed as well, his torso armor was crimson fire red, with streaks of white and silver on the side, the lower half of his armor was black jumpsuit like material, red flaming boots shaped around his feet. On Chase's back large wings of fire created two armored wings that circled together to create a shield. Finally his helmet took the shape of a phoneix's head with a horn on his head, the mouth of the phoenix was open, then on the side were eye holes as well for an unknown reason.

"So you defeated Death? By yourself?" Lycanrio asked.

"Yeah, and you're next." Chase stuck out his left arm, "Volcanic Saber!" A single sword with various heiroglyphics appeared from this dragon armored gauntlet, on the edges of the sword were red pieces of metal.

"Full Moon Howl!"

"Blaze Blast!" Chase aimed his sword right at Lycanrio, the edges of the sword raised. The heiroglyphics shone brightly, from there a bright blast of orange and red flames hit Lycanrio in the chest.

"Guah!" Lycanrio stumbled back from the attack, "That..actually hurt." Lycanrio smiled, "Guess my nap will have to wait huh?"

"Try this on! Solar Flare Gun!" Chase aimed his right gauntlet at Lycanrio. The triangular gauntlet split and revealed multiple holes that shot out various orange and red flaming bullets.

"Light Beam!" Lycanrio's beam of light was stopped by one of Chase's re flaming bullets. The rest made contact with Lycanrio and he was then pushed back and burned from Chase's attack.

"Uhhh..."

"Sorry wolfman, but looks like you've been burned." Chase's wings shot out and spread wide. Chase slowly began to take to the skies and he aimed he put away both his weapons. His helmet closed down and the eye slits on the side slid over so he could still see. Chase took the palms of his hands and faced them towards each other. Slowly a red sphere of light appeared inbetween his hands.

"Nova Bomb!" Chase released the sphere of energy as it flew towards Lycanrio's fallen body.

"This..." Lycanrio smiled, "Was exciting." And those were his final words as the sphere of burning energy caused his body to turn in to ashes. His Nightmare Crystal fell to the ground. Chase soared down and picked it up.

"Chase...you defeated Lycanrio by yourself." Shaun said in awe.

"Yeah...I guess we can thank Death for that."

"Are you saying that you went to go and fight Death by yourself?" Zan asked.

"I did, and I won." Chase informed before de-morphing.

"Idiot! What if you lost!" Megan cried.

"But I didn't." Chase responded.

"How did you know you were going to win?" Rory asked.

"I didn't." Was the Red Ranger's reply.

"So you just went in by yourself and just hoped to defeat the strongest Horsemen?" Syren asked.

"Pretty much." Chase shrugged.

"You idiot!" Megan walked over and slapped Chase, "We do this as a team! You can't just go and leave us to be all heroic!" She cried, "We were going to defeat him as a team! What if you lost? What if you died? If he killed you, what would we do? We need to work as a team! Do you plan on fighting Nightmare by yourself too!"

"Megan..." Shaun muttered.

"It's okay.." Chase smiled, "I don't plan on fighting Nightmare by myself." Chase assured as he hugged Megan, "I won't leavee you guys like that again...I'm sorry."

"Shut up..." Megan cried, "Just shut up.."

"Okay." Chase nodded, "Shaun...take this." Chase tossed Shaun Lycanrio's Nightmare Crystal and in Shaun's hands it turned in to a Dream Diammond.

"But I already have one, from Wormwood." Shaun explained.

"I know, but Lycanrio's most likely stronger than Wormwood. Besides Wormwood wasn't even a Horsemen."

"Then who gets the Dream Diammond?" Asked Syren.

"You can have it Syren." Chase told her.

"Umm..okay."

"With your new Ranger form, and that it'll be really helpful against the final battle with Nightmare." Chase explained.

"Alright...I agree." Syren picked up the Dream Diammond.

"So when do we finish off Nightmare? He's the last piece of this destructive puzzle." Zan sighed.

"Tomorrow..." Chase told everybody.

"And we'll do it as a team..right?" Megan asked looking at Chase while still hugging him.

"Yes.." Chase smiled, "As a team...because tomorrow...everything ends."

Next Time: The Rangers rest up and prepare to face off against Nightmare once and for all! Though admist all their rest a certain somebody leaves the base to handle some personal buisness. Who is this person? And what do they have to do? Will it help the rangers, or just endanger them even more?
