Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Chapter 7: Striker's Last Stand

Striker was attacking a warehouse, slashing and destroying machinery as people fled in terror. He could care less about them, however, as he was only interested in the Power Rangers. Soon enough, the 12 rangers charged onto the scene.

"Striker! Enough is enough! It's time to put an end to your reign of terror!" Troy said.

"Yeah! Time to knock some sense into ya!" Jake added.

"Please! There's no way you can stop me! You might as well surrender now and accept your fate with dignity!" Striker bellowed.

"We'll see about that. Ready guys?" Tyler said.

"Ready!" Everyone else replied, as the dino charge rangers pulled out their morphers while the Megaforce rangers pulled out their keys.

"It's Morphin Time! Unleash the Power!" Yelled the Dino Charge Rangers

"Super Mega Mode!" Cried the Megaforce rangers. In a flash, they were all morphed.

"Get them!" Striker commanded the X-borgs, who charged at the teams. Troy, Jake, and Emma shot and blasted them apart, while Noah, Gia, Orion, and the Dino Charge rangers slashed through them.

"Now it's your turn!" Orion said, running at him with his Super Silver Spear. Striker blocked his attack, but Orion kept coming. Troy, Riley, and Ivan ran in as well, slicing at him with their swords. Tyler then Rammed him with his T-Rex Smasher. Their attacks managed to hit Striker, causing him to stumble back.

"Is that all you got? Take this!" Striker roared, sending a wave of energy at them, sending them back.

"Guys, I think it's time to go legendary. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Troy asked.

"Yeah!" Replied the other Megaforce rangers as they all pulled out the Beetleborgs Keys.

"Legendary Beetleborgs Mode!" They cried out, inserting the keys. "Beetle Blast!"

In a flash of light the rangers were transformed into the Beetleborgs. Troy was the Blue Stinger, Noah the Green Hunter, Gia the Red Striker, Jake the Titanium Silver, Emma the Platinum Purple, and Orion the Chromium Gold. Troy readied his blade.

"What's show this guy what we can really do!" Troy shouted, charging in as the others followed suit.

Surprised by their sudden change, Striker was caught off guard as they charged at him, unable to keep up with their attacks. Troy was the first to hit him, slicing him with his sword several times. Noah grabbed him with his hunter claw, incapitating him long enough for Gia to blast him with her Striker Blaster. Jake and Emma then double teamed him, clobbering him with their metallix grappler and baton respectively. Finally, Orion him with his metallix lancer. Striker was battered, falling to one knee as he struggled to hold himself up.

"Let's finish this, guys!" Troy suggested as they morphed back into their Super Mega Modes.

"Right!" The others replied as they inserted their ranger keys into their swords. The Dino Charge rangers ran up to help. The main five combined theirs into the Dino Spike while Ivan readies his sword, inserting three chargers into it, charging it with electricity.

The Five main Megaforce rangers slashed their swords, releasing the pent up energy at Striker. Then, Orion, Tyler, and Ivan ran at him, brining the full blunt of their attacks down on him. After that, Striker began to spark all over. Feeling his life fading, Striker looked at them with fire in his eyes.

"Don't think you've won the war, rangers," he said, "The Armada will defeat you!"

With that, he collapsed and blew up, finally finished.

"Monster extinct!" Tyler proclaimed.

Up on his ship, Voltaire and Sledge finished watching the battle.

"You told me he was capable of finishing the rangers! But look what happened!" Sledge roared, ready to pummel Voltaire to dust.

"Now, now, no need to get angry," Voltaire replied smoothly. "We're just about ready to hit them with everything we've got. Thanks to your reanimator machine, we've managed to bring back two of our best soldiers, as well as enough foot soldiers to overwhelm them. With our combined forces, the rangers don't stand a chance."

"For your sake, they better not," Sledge growled, "Or the rangers will be the least of your worries."

A/N: Well, there goes Striker. I hope you guys liked the Beetleborgs change. I was a little unsure if it was a good idea myself, but I'm happy with the result. Let me know what you guys think. Before I go, though, I have some bad news: this story will soon be coming to a close. The next chapter will have the final battle, the one after that will be the epilogue and then maybe a bonus chapter where I give my thoughts on the story. I hope to have the next chapter up soon, so be on the lookout. Until then peace!
