Mike finally arrived at the Shiba household. He hopped off and demorphed. Mike darted inside.

"Guys!" He shouted. The first person he ran into was Mentor Ji. "Mike? Why aren't you at the shrine?" He asked.

Mike rested his hands on his knees.

"Because...Xandred is free..."

Ji's eyes widened. "That's impossible!"

"And he has his sword so he's back to full power." Mike said.

Ji placed a hand on Mike's shoulder.

"I will gather the others. I need you to head towards Xandred and do whatever you can to hold him off."

"Got it." Mike said as he ran out of the Shiba House.

Ji pulled out his Samuraizer.

"Jayden, we have a problem."

The Nova Rangers had regrouped back in their base. "That was brutal..." Roxy groaned. "Who were those guys?" Hathaway asked.

"Those were Nighlock." Wes responded.

"What's a Nighlock?" Marias asked.

"They are powerful monsters from the underworld, they attempted to flood the human world with impure water from their Sanzu River. They were lead by someone named Master Xandred." Wes answered, looking through the database that former Rangers had access to.

"The three you fought were Serrator, Deker and Dayu, but sensors indicate that Deker and Dayu may be clones as their power levels are much lower than what they are supposed to be."

"Well if those three are here that means that Master Xandred can't be too far off." Leonide said.

Just then, the sensors blared. On the large monitor was Master Xandred himself. Along with an army of moogers.

"Ugh..." Blade groaned.

"Let's go guys, we gotta take this joker down." Hathaway said. The eight rangers all stood up and ran off.

"Be careful you guys." Wes said.

*-PRNF-*

The Rangers had made their way into the city and located Master Xandred.

"This must be them" Xandred said.

"Yo!" Hathaway shouted.

"You're going down! Along with the rest of your goons!"

"I always like a challenge." Xandred said raising his arms in an all-powerful sort of way.

"Let's do it!, Nova Force! Start it Up!"

"Lunar Force! Go!"

"Blazing Flames! Red Nova Ranger!"

"Forceful Earth! Black Nova Ranger!"

"Raging Waves! Blue Nova Ranger!"

"Deadly Lightning! Yellow Nova Ranger!"

"Guiding Winds! Pink Nova Ranger!"

"The Silver Enigma! Silver Lunar Ranger!"

"The Gold Avenger! Gold Lunar Ranger!"

"The White Optimist! White Lunar Ranger!"

"With fierce determination we fight our way towards the future! Power Rangers! Nova Force!"

The eight rangers struck their signature poses.

The wanderers prepared to engage them but Xandred halted them.

"None of you move from where your standing!" He commanded. The wanderers did not move.

"Let's get this guy!" Rilan shouted.

The Rangers drew their weapons and charged at Xandred.

Xandred drew his sword and prepared for battle. Leonide went first with his Neo Trident. He lunged at Xandred who side stepped him and struck him in the gut with the hilt of his sword. "Ugh!"

Rilan and Hathaway were next. Hathaway ran at him with his Raider Sword and Orion Saber.

Rilan followed behind him with his Rave Trigger. Hathaway slashed at him with his Orion Saber then followed up with his Raider Sword. "Pathetic!" Xandred said evading the strikes with ease.

"And you dare hold swords!" He said slashing Hathaway across the chest, causing sparks to erupt from his suit.

"Aagh!" He groaned as he sank to the floor. Rilan shot his Rave Trigger at Xandred who deflected the attack.

Rilan used the butt of his rifle to hit Xandred. Xandred kicked Rilan in the gut sending him flying. He crashed into a near by dumpster. Blade, Marias and Roxy attacked him next. Blade used his Hyper Arrow and shot at him while Marias used her Raider Gun. Roxy flipped over Xandred and attacked him with the Hazard Sword. Xandred caught her attack and used her as a shield.

"Aaagh!" She groaned. After the two stopped their attacks he tossed her aside. "Is that it?" Xandred asked.

"You're gonna pay for that!" Blade said as he charged forward. Xandred blocked his swing and kicked Blade's legs from under him. Xandred then roundhouse kicked Blade in the head, nearly knocking him out. Marias was next. "Let's go!" She challenged. Xandred replied with a bored huff.

Marias shot at him with her Raider Gun.

He evaded the shots and walked towards her. "Hyah!" She shouted as she lunged at him. Xandred blocked her attack with his forearm, grabbed her wrist and threw her away from him.

"Who's next?" He cackled.

Megan and Zeili were the only ones still standing. The two charged at him and decided to attack as a group. Xandred pointed his sword at them then attempted to strike Megan but, Zeili blocked the strike with her Radiant Shield. Megan jumped over her with her Nitro Scythe in hand. She tried to slash Xandred but he blocked the attack. Xandred was about to attack when Zeili blocked the attack. Megan hit Xandred's abdomen with the Nitro Scythe. "Rragh! You both are really starting to annoy me!" Xandred hollered. He dragged his sword along the pavement which left a trail of debris in its wake, brought it up sending a shockwave at the two. The shockwave knocked them back and onto the ground. The other six beaten and bruised rangers regrouped around their two teammates. "Worthless excuse for Power Rangers...you've made my job too easy!" Xandred shouted.

"Gah...this guy is way stronger than anyone we've fought before..." Leonide said. "You're right..." Hathaway said.

Xandred chuckled and blasted them with an energy wave demorphing them.

Xandred cackled evily as he admired his handiwork. "This was too easy! Now, prepare to die." Xandred said as he walked closer to them. The rangers were writhing in pain, they were completely depleted.

"Ugh...looks like this is it..." Leonide groaned. Roxy coughed loudly. "What are we gonna do...dammit!" She groaned.

"Oh no" Wes said as he bolted out of their base.

Xandred stood over Hathaway.

"I'll start with you first you sorry excuse for a Red Ranger. " He said hiking Hathaway off of the floor.

"Ngh!" He grunted. "Goodbye!" Xandred said raising his sword up.

His teammates looked on in horror until they heard a voice shout,

"Forest Spear!"

Xandred dropped Hathaway who started coughing furiously. He evaded the incoming strike by jumping backwards. Mike had dropped down into the place where Xandred was previously standing. "Who's that?" Rilan asked. Mike twirled his Forest Spear around and held it up at Xandred.

"Miss me?" He asked.

"Ugh Green Ranger." Xandred said, obviously displeased.

"They can't fight anymore! Take me on instead!" Mike said.

"Very well if that is what you-!"

Xandred was cut off by a rangered up Wes yelling, "Time Strike!" The suprise attack hit Xandred and Wes dropped in next to Mike.

"You can't fight with these guys here, we have to get them away." Wes said.

Mike looked at the injured Xandred then looked back at the other Rangers.

"You're right, let's get them outta here."

Mike said. "Come on guys get up." Wes said helping Megan up.

Mike helped up Marias and then they all managed to get away.

"Dammit!" Xandred shouted.

*-PRNF-*

Dragomir watched the scene unfold with a pleased look on his face.

"This is almost too good to be true. Aquarius! You are a genius!" Dragomir said. "Thank you Commander, always glad to be of service." Aquarius said, taking the praise of his superior.

"What a kiss ass..." Omega whispered to his twin. Alpha responded with a chuckle. "Although a Samurai Ranger has shown up this won't deter my plans. As I have taken into account the Samurai Rangers appearing. It is only a matter of time before our victory is assured."

*-PRNF-*

"So you're a Samurai?" Hathaway asked. "Yep. I was on a Ranger Team a few years before you." Mike said.

"What's a samurai?" Marias asked.

Mike gave her an 'are you serious look.'

"These four are from another planet so they don't know much." Megan said pointing to the Novians.

"Oh. In that case they were just warriors." Mike said.

"Wait...where are your teammates?" Roxy asked.

"I dunno...they should be there by now." Mike said. Just then his Samuraizer rang. "Mike, we're in Ignus City. Where are you?" His leader, Jayden asked.

"I'll come and find you guys." Mike said.

The Green Samurai stood up,

"I'll be back." He said.

Within twenty minutes Mike had returned with the other Samurai Rangers.

"Guys, This is Jayden, Kevin, Emily, Mia and, Antonio. And I'm Mike." He said.

All but Roxy were actually paying attention because she was so focused on Mike's eyes. Hathaway noticed this and it seemed to irritate him.

"Jayden, its good to see you again."

Wes said shaking his hand.

"Yeah, we haven't seen each other since the Forever Red operation." Jayden said. "Forever Red Operation?" Hathaway said.

"Oh, you'll be recruited for it soon enough." Jayden said dropping the subject leaving Hathaway lost.

"So Xandred's back huh? You guys just sit back here. We'll handle that for you."

Antonio said.

"Not by yourself your not." Blade said.

Kevin raised an eyebrow.

"You've already taken a beating from him, Just sit back and let the Samurai handle it."

"So you're saying only the Samurai can handle him?" Leonide questioned.

"Well we did defeat him." Kevin said.

"Well your not doing by yourself all eight of us have a bone to pick with those guys." Roxy said.

"But you guys are hurt." Emily protested.

"That doesn't matter to us." Blade said.

"He's right. That guy and his goons did damage so we're just returning the favor." Hathaway said.

"If that's what you want to do then I can't stop you." Jayden said.

Hathaway smiled.

"Then let's do it."

*-PRNF-*

Master Xandred, Serrator, Deker, Dayu and a turtle like monster along with many wanderers had walked into a deserted wasteland near a factory.

"Well let's see what you Samurai can do." Hathaway said getting up.

"Ditto." Jayden said.

The 14 Rangers prepared to leave.

"Take the Chrono Carrier." Wes said.

"Right-o." Megan said.

"Be careful you guys!" Tiffany said.

The rangers entered the Chrono Carrier. Leonide manned the controls with Kevin right next to him.

"What's all this?" Kevin said observing all the buttons and triggers.

"Just weapons and what not."

Leonide said smacking Kevin's hand.

"Unless you wanna blow up a third of this city, I suggest you don't touch that."

"Oops." Kevin said.

The other Rangers were conversing amongst themselves. Roxy found herself staring at Mike's eyes while he was talking to Rilan.

This act was really starting to piss Hathaway off for some reason.

"I can't wait until he leaves..." Hathaway mumbled.

"Hm? You say something?" Jayden asked. "Huh? No!" Hathaway said quickly. Jayden simply responded with a, "Oh."

"We're here!" Leonide said. He pulled out his camera and snapped a picture.

"Do you always take that with you?" Kevin asked.

"Yep." Leonide said putting the camera away.

The Chrono Carrier descended low enough for the rangers to hop out.

"Xandred!" Jayden shouted. The crowd of monsters spun around.

Master Xandred stood ahead of the others.

"So you decided to show up." He said. The 14 Rangers lined up side by side.

"You guys ready?" Hathaway said to his teammates. They all nodded.

"And you guys?" Jayden said.

They all nodded. "Let's show these rookies how its done." Antonio said pulling out his morpher.

"Nova Force! Start it Up!"

"Lunar Force! Go!"

"Samuraizer! Go Go Samurai!"

"Gold Power!"

In a flash of light all 14 of them were transformed.

"Red Samurai Ranger, Ready!"

"Blue Samurai Ranger, Ready!"

"Green Samurai Ranger, Ready!"

"Yellow Samurai Ranger, Ready,"

"Pink Samurai Ranger, Ready!"

"Gold Samurai Ranger, Ready!"

"Rangers Together, Samurai Forever!" The team called out striking their individual poses.

"Blazing Flames! Red Nova Ranger!"

"Forceful Earth! Black Nova Ranger!"

"Raging Waves! Blue Nova Ranger!"

"Deadly Lightning! Yellow Nova Ranger!"

"Guiding Winds! Pink Nova Ranger!"

"The Silver Enigma! Silver Lunar Ranger!"

"The Gold Avenger! Gold Lunar Ranger!"

"The White Optimist! White Lunar Ranger!"

"With fierce determination we fight our way towards the future! Power Rangers Nova Force!"

"How cute." Serrator said.

The Rangers jumped from their perch down to Master Xandred and co.

"Let's go." Jayden said resting his Spin Sword on his shoulder.

"Right!" His team said as they charged forward.

"Let's do it!" Hathaway said as he and his team were not far behind.

They ran into the crowd of wanderers and moogers.

The two teams paired off.

Jayden and Hathaway were slashing their way through the wanderers. Jayden swung his sword horizontally and knocked out four wanderers.

He ducked down and slashed three more. Hathaway hopped over the crouching Ranger and slashed at the wanderers multiple times with his Raider Sword. Jayden swept the wanderers then rolled around on the ground avoiding all the wanderers. He swung his legs around to create some room. He hopped up and slashed more.

"Give me a lift!" Hathaway said running towards him.

"Got it!" Jayden said turning around and cupping his hands. "Orion Saber!" Hathaway called out as he jumped up and into the sky.

"Orion Saber! Full Power!" He called out as his sword blazed. He slashed downward releasing flames around the wanderers surrounding Jayden. The henchmen vanished in a puff of smoke.

Hathaway landed smoothly.

"That's how Red's do it!" Hathaway said fist bumping Jayden.

*-PRNF-*

Mike was blowing through the wanderers and moogers with Rilan not far behind with his Rave Trigger and firing at them.

Mike swung on two of them then launched himself onto four of them. He rolled off, jumped up then came down crashing down into the earth making a shock wave. The shockwave also sent Rilan into the air but he managed to catch himself. He fired his Rave Trigger in every direction before landing on the ground.

"Be careful next time!" Rilan said weakly punching him on the shoulder. "Eh sorry!" Mike said. The two went back to fighting.

Rilan flipped backwards and fired his Rave Trigger. He ducked under the swing of a mooger then shot him too. He shot three more then kicked one in the mid-section. Mike ran by him with his Forest Spear and swung at the henchman, knocking them backwards.

He turned his weapon back to its basic form. "Spin Sword! Forest Vortex!"

Rilan drew his Raider Sword.

"Rave Trigger! Full Power!"

RAIDER WAVVVEE!

The two combined their attacks and blasted the moogers and wanderers.

"Alright!" Mike said.

*-PRNF-*

Leonide and Kevin fought off the wanderers that were trying to enter the factory. Leonide kicked one away from him then tucked in and rolled under another. He punched then kicked at several more.

"Neo Trident!" He shouted as his weapon materialized in his hand.

He slashed three then round-housed three more followed by bringing the trident around full force. He slashed four wanderers knocking them to the ground. Leonide kicked one into another knocking them into a pile of debris. "Oh no you don't!" Leonide taunted as he flipped over two moogers then slashed the wanderers in front of him. He spun back around and slashed the previous moogers. Leonide cartwheeled then lunged at more with his trident. He stabbed at a few more before punching a mooger in the chest.

"There we go."

Kevin swung his Spin Sword at a few wanderers. A wanderer swung at him then he backed up then slashed again. Kevin rolled away from the henchman then fired at them. Then he slashed more wanderers. A wanderer snuck up behind him then Kevin quickly reacted by flipping it over his shoulder. Kevin swung his Sword knocking down two wanderers then slashed again. He and Leonide reunited.

"Let's finish these guys, Hydro Bow!" Kevin said summoning his signature weapon.

"Right!,Neo Trident Full Power!" Leonide said.

The two blasted their opposition apart.

"Oh yeah!" Leonide said. Kevin sheathed his Sword then nodded in approval.

*-PRNF-*

Emily and Marias were fighting off more wanderers. Marias fired her Storm Bow then slashed at some other wanderers. Two wanderers came at her and she slid out of the way then fired her Raider Gun. She shot two moogers then got up. She drove her fist into the stomach of one and sent him tumbling into the others. "Hah easy!" She said.

Emily ran past her and kicked one behind Marias in the head causing the Ranger to duck. "Hey gimme a heads up before you do that!" Marias said. "Sorry!" Emily said slashing other henchmen with her Spin Sword.

Emily sliced group of mooger with her Spin Sword. She spun around and kicked a wanderer. She hopped over the one she just kicked and slashed a mooger. She ducked into a roll. "Seismic Swing!" She shouted slashing the wanderers and moogers.

She and Avery reunited.

Marias yawned.

"These guys are boring me..." She continued.

"Then let's finish em!" Emily said.

"Storm Bow! Full Power!" Marias said.

"Earth Slicer!" Emily called out. Marias fired her weapon while Emily threw her Earth Slicer. The attacks crashed into the henchman with an explosion.

"Nice one." Marias said.

"Thanks! You too!" Emily said catching her Earth Slicer.

*-PRNF-*

The two Pink Rangers had fought their way through the wanderers and moogers began fighting the Dayu copy. Mia shot at Dayu who avoided the attack. Dayu swung at Mia but Zeili blocked the attack. Dayu stepped back and strummed her Harmonium sending a burst of energy at the two.

Mia blocked the attack with her Sky Fan "Yah!" Zeili said executing a series of kicks. Dayu fell backwards but hopped back up. "Grr!" She roared.

Dayu swung wildly and Mia ducked giving Zeili the opportunity to roll over her back and hit Dayu full force with her Radiant Shield.

"You'll pay for that...!"

"Zeili give me a boost!" Mia shouted running towards her.

"Right!" Zeili said. Kristy jumped over Zeili. "Now!" Mia said as Zeili thrust her Raidant Shield forward which Mia used as a launch pad to thrust herself towards Dayu.

"Air Wave!" Mia called out just as she waved her fan. The impact of the attack let loose a super charged shock wave sending Dayu flying.

"Ugh!" The Nighlock groaned.

The two Pink Rangers reunited.

"Yes!" Mia said high-fiving Zeili.

*-PRNF-*

Antonio, Roxy, Blade and Megan were fighting Deker.

"Barracuda Blade!" Antonio called out.

He drew his signature weapon and attacked Deker with it. Deker blocked the attack. Roxy ran up behind him and kicked him in the back. Next was Megan who slashed at him with her Hazard Dagger. Deker stumbled backwards. Blade punched in the code for the Hazard Saber.

"Hazard Saber! Hyah!" He grunted. Blade swung multiple times at Deker. Deker quickly recovered from the attack. His sword shone a bright light then he slashed vertically sending a red light attack at them. Blade And Roxy were hit by the attack but Antonio and Megan jumped above it.

"Strike Crescent!" Megan shouted letting the two crescents fly. Antonio dropped down and used his Barracuda Blade to slice the nighlock hundreds of times before jumping away. "Urgh!" Deker groaned. The Strike Crescent hit him full force. "Aagh!"

Megan landed next to Antonio.

"Our turn!" Roxy said as she and Blade stepped past Antonio and Megan.

SUPER HAZARD WAAVVEE!

HAZARD WAAVVEE!

The two fired off the Hazard Wave and the Super Hazard Wave knocking Deker off his feet. "Golden!" Antonio said running over to the other two.

*-PRNF-*

The Nighlock reunited beaten and bruised.

"Had enough?" Hathaway said as all the other Rangers reunited.

"Not even close! Weaklings!" Xandred said. He observed the other beaten monsters.

"We must finish them." He commanded.

Jayden pointed his Sword at him.

"Whenever you're ready."
