Chapter 4: A Trap for Tai

Sean ran his hands through his hair as he overheard a few things over the intercom at their base. His face did not show that he was surprised. He was very calm as he was over the phone, listening into the conversation.

"So, you are trying to tell me that the Kalos Secretary of Defense has been captured by the Shadow Clan and that they have blew up the factory of where we could get spare parts to build our own defenses?" asked Sean. He then nodded as he heard people over the phone, "Okay. I'll summon the Battle Force to handle this."

He hung up the phone. He reached over to a silver box on the desk. Pressing the red button, a speaker popped out, "Battle Force, report to Headquarters at once. Priority One."

Fifteen minutes later…

The doors opened up. Tai, Cassidy, Ryan, Derek and Oliver were sitting on the couch in their headquarters as Sean walked inside to meet them. Clemont, who had the projections and equipment laid out, turned around to Sean as the rangers stood up from where they sat.

"So," said Oliver, "What seems to be the trouble?"

"Apparently, the Shadow Clan has been at it again… this time, they are after this man," said Sean, taking out his remote control. Pressing the green button, a holographic image of a man was shown. He had black hair, green eyes and wore a blue business suit. Tai's eyes almost popped out of his head as he turned his head toward Sean, "That's Joe Taylor!"

"How do you know him?" asked Sean.

"He used to be in my Pokémon Training classes in Kanto," said Tai, "He then was heard to be Secretary of Defense in Kalos. What brings him up in our meeting?"

"Apparently, a lab was shot down earlier today, destroying all of the spare parts needed to build our secret weapon. Joe Taylor, who gave me permission to create your powers is unfortunately involved with this and they found out. We must get him back before they find out about weapon," said Sean.

"Well," said Derek, raising his eyebrow, "Where is he? Or do we have a knowledge of where he is?"

Clemont reached for the remote and pressed a yellow button. Immediately, the image of Joe Taylor disappeared and a blue armored car was shown instead, "Apparently, he was kidnapped in an armored car and was last seen heading south toward Lumiose City."

"Route 13 will take forever to search… especially in those deserted fields," said Cassidy.

Ryan looked at her, "Well, what are we sitting around for? Let's go rescue him."

Clemont looked at the other rangers as he pressed another button. This time the image of Coumarine City showed up.

"Rangers," said Clemont, looking at the city, "It seems that the building blew up here."

He pointed to one of the raggedy buildings. He then dragged his finger to where Route 13 began, "Well, don't you start there first? From there, you will be able to pick up the trail."

Ryan nodded, "Understood. Come on, rangers. We don't have all day!"

"Be careful," said Sean, looking at Ryan directly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Ryan.

"Because people like you usually fall into traps," said Sean, "As you are well aware, these guys do not play along. So, take this mission seriously."

Clemont nodded as he agreed with Sean, "And seeing that they have vehicles… follow me."

The rangers, unbeknownst to what Clemont had in store for them, decide to follow him downstairs. There was a metallic door that opened up to the right. As they headed down stairs, they noticed something that was pretty amazing. One, there was a red sports car that was shaped like a Ferrari with pink mirrors and black leather seats. There were three motorcycles that were blue, green, and yellow with the faces of their respective Pokémon.

"I'm guessing these are our means of transportation?" asked Ryan, looking at the car, "Because they look pretty cool!"

"Yes," said Clemont, "This is the Battle Ferrari… manned by both you and Cassidy."

Ryan's face went from being excited to the total opposite within seconds, "I have to share?"

Cassidy looked at Ryan. She took a deep breath and looked at her calmly, "Yes, you are going to have to share."

Clemont grinned as he looked at the boys, "You guys get the Battle Harleys. These motorcycles have powerful speeds and weapons integrated with them at your disposal."

Oliver laughed as he looked at his Battle Harley, "This bike is amazing! I've always wanted to ride a motorcycle."

Tai grinned as he looked at his motorcycle, "Well, anything else you want to give us Clemont? The more artillery, the better."

Clemont grinned, "I think we're good."

Ryan nodded as she opened up the car door, "Then, let's not waste anymore time!"

The red ranger decided to get into the driver's seat. She then turned around as she was looking for something. She then opened the car door and popped her head out, "Where are the keys to this thing?"

Cassidy giggled a little as Clemont smirked. Cassidy winked as she had the keys in her hand. The look on Ryan's face was atrocious.

"Aw hell no," said Ryan.

"Get in the passenger seat," said Cassidy, snapping her fingers.

The guys laughed as they got on their motorcycles. Ryan looked at her, "No, no, no. I get to drive."

"I would like to drive there in one piece," said Cassidy, grinning.

Ryan rolled her eyes as she moved over, leaving Cassidy to get into the Ferrari.

An hour later…

As the sun faced the canyons, the Battle Ferrari was driving along with the other three rangers on their Battle Bikes.

"Anything yet?" asked Ryan, looking at the radar.

Cassidy looked at her as she was watching the road, shaking her head, "No."

Ryan sighed as she looked at Cassidy. She couldn't believe it as she was watching the canyons, "This is great. I feel like we've been down this road earlier in the year."

"They tried to steal fuel rods," said Cassidy.

"Right," said Ryan, waving her finger in the air.

Cassidy grinned as she looked at her, "That moment when you almost killed Derek."

"Oh please," she said, "Derek didn't die… I was angry."

The pink ranger rolled her eyes as she turned to make a right. As she made the turn, a piece of black wire hit their car. As the other rangers came behind the Ferrari, Cassidy stopped the car. Ryan looked at Cassidy as she got out of the car. The other three rangers hopped off as they grouped together. Ryan angrily got out of the car.

"Why did we stop?" asked Ryan.

Cassidy pointed to the black wire, "Look."

The other rangers looked at the wire. The wire was going all the way down to the end. Oliver knelt down as he took out a silver scanner. As he scanned it, he then noticed something.

"Interesting, I'm detecting Shadow Clan energy over that mountain range," said Oliver.

Ryan nodded, "Well, if that's true. We better be careful. It's most likely a trap."

As the rangers headed to their vehicles, Ryan and Cassidy sat down in their seats. Before Cassidy could even start the car, the radar was making beeping noises. Ryan saw a big red beeping noise coming directly toward them.

"Uh…," said Ryan, "Do we have shields for the Ferrari?"

"Why?" asked Cassidy.

Suddenly, there was a loud roar coming from the mountain range. As they turned around, a black truck with red stripes emerged out. There were a few Shadow Ninjas in the truck. One had a big black machine gun edged on top of it.

"IT'S A TRAP!" shouted Tai.

The rangers scattered as bullets flew out. As the Battle Ferrari dodged the bullets, Ryan pressed a few buttons in the middle console, "Oh, what do we have? There are so many buttons!"

"Try one," said Cassidy.

Immediately, Ryan pressed a black spot on the ground. Immediately, a spray of oil came out from underneath the Battle Ferrari. The truck continued to shoot them down. However, there were no holes in the window.

"Bulletproof glass and exterior," said Ryan, "Not bad."

"That was oil…," said Cassidy, looking at her. She then noticed the fire button. Pressing the button, flames emerged from the car as the Ferrari took off. The truck was engulfed in flames as they continued to shoot.

"Nice!" said Tai, turning around. As the truck came toward him, he then pressed a few buttons. Green leaves emerged out of the Battle Harley. The leaves, with razor sharped edges, aimed for the tires, popping them. The truck was still sliding on the ground. The Shadow Ninja in the air continued to shoot machine gun bullets at the rangers. Oliver and Derek flew up on either side of the mountain. Derek reached for his pistol as he aimed for the Shadow Ninja. Pulling the trigger, the bullet hit the Shadow Ninja in the head. Meanwhile, the two of them released two black chains out of their bikes. As they combined, a metallic gate magically appeared. The truck crashed into the gate. The rangers got off their vehicles, looking at the wreckage.

"Uh," said Ryan, "That was pretty cool."

Oliver and Derek looked at each other and then at the wreckage.

"Honestly," said Derek, "That was pure luck. Didn't know that worked that way."

While they were talking amongst each other, Tai decided to go toward the truck. As he opened the driver's seat door, he could see the dead grunts in the seats. He then went toward the back of the truck. As he opened the truck, he noticed a few more dead ninjas and what looked like a human being.

"Joe?" asked Tai.

He walked over to pick up the body. The face was white without any expression. He dropped the body instantly.

'It's a fake. This truck has been a decoy this whole time,' thought Tai, 'Damn it!'

Hopping out of the truck, Oliver was standing outside the back of the truck, waiting for him.

"Well, did you find him?" asked Oliver.

"I wish. That was a decoy," said Tai, "Where's the real truck?"

Ryan looked at him and then at the truck, "You got to be kidding me!"

"It's true," the green ranger said, "There's a plastic dummy inside."

Meanwhile…

"Xerosic," a voice boomed out of the Shadow Clan's headquarters, "Where is this person involved with the Battle Force?"

"We have him in our headquarters right now," said Xerosic, bowing down, "Apparently, the Battle Force took the bait and now we will have him at our disposal."

"See to it that we find out their secret weapon," the figure said behind the white silhouette, "If he does not talk… or we find out, Xerosic… your head will be on a silver platter."

Xerosic shuddered in fear. He slowly nodded as he walked away from him.

An hour later…

Xerosic walked into a massive, mechanical lab. The shelves had various chemicals in beakers and other containers. He laughed as he saw a man wearing nothing but a pair of blue boxers. His head was lying on the ground. Joe Taylor was heavily breathing. A few Shadow Ninjas were dressed in lab coats as he walked by.

"Has he talked?" he asked.

The Shadow Ninja shook his head, "He said he doesn't know."

"Oh," said Xerosic, "Well, let's see if… nah, I have a better idea."

"An idea, sir?" the grunt asked.

"Trust me," said Xerosic, smiling as he walked away.

Later that day…

Ryan was sitting at their base, sipping a glass of tea as she was looking at her book. She then turned around as she saw her Pokémon playing around in the base. Her Talonflame (Phoenix) was sitting next to her as she then turned around, watching Oliver view their television.

"Oliver, what are you watching?" asked Ryan.

"Something pretty unique. He just flew in from Unova supposedly," said Oliver, looking at the television.

Ryan looked at him as she sat down. Apparently, it was man wearing a bright white genie hat with a green jewel. He also wore a blue robe with red pants.

"I am the amazing genie who can do spirit photography… I can see things beyond measure!"

"Beyond measure, eh?" asked Ryan, looking at Oliver.

"Apparently, he was able to discover the anchorman's future wife," said Oliver, smiling, "I wonder what my future will hold?"

Ryan looked at him, "Come on, those things are stupid."

"But, you don't know that for sure," said Oliver.

Suddenly, the door opened. Oliver turned around as he saw Cassidy dressed in a nice purple dress with black shoes. She had a pink flowery scarf with it. Oliver wolf-whistled as she walked down the stairs, "Damn, Cassidy."

"I haven't worn this in so long," said Cassidy, "The last time I wore this, I was undercover in Veilstone City working on a drug case."

"Well," said Oliver, "I got to admit, you look astounding."

"Thank you," said Cassidy, "I do have good taste in clothing when I'm not on the job… maybe Ryan could be taken under my wing."

"I'd hate to upset you but I would rather wear a motorcycle jacket," said Ryan.

Cassidy looked at her, "If you want to impress someone nice… you got to look good."

Immediately, she turned around as she looked at Cassidy, "Don't you even go there."

"Oh you know it's true," she said giggling.

Ryan got up and walked toward the pink ranger. Before she said any words, Derek walked inside, "Hey ladies…"

Ryan, looking at Derek, started to blush as Cassidy grinned, "Hi, Derek."

Oliver grinned as he continued to watch the show.

Somewhere outside Coumarine City…

"Okay," said Tai, "Scyther, give me all you got!"

Scyther flew up to the sky and went to attack Tai. Tai used a shoulder-roll and dodged the attack. As Scyther used his blade, Tai ducked and kicked Scyther in the stomach. Scyther backed up and then went to kick him in the stomach. Tai blocked his kick with his arm and punched Scyther. Scyther used his blade to block. Luckily, Tai used his cut-resistant gloves. As he stopped, he was wiping the sweat off his face as he went to check his phone. Immediately, Oliver's messages show up, seeing the psychic man.

"A psychic?" asked Tai, raising an eyebrow, "Maybe he can help me find Joe."

Later that day…

The genie walked into the lab of the Shadow Clan's headquarters.

"Master Xatusight, it's great to see you," said Xerosic.

"Being bonded with Shadow Clan DNA, it's good to be back," he said, looking at Joe on the table, "Now, to figure him out as planned."

He smiled as he looked over the body. He grinned as he waved his camera and took a snapshot of him, "Photography Future Sight!"

His photo popped out as he went to take it out of the camera. There was a blank.

"Apparently," said Xatusite, "It is evident that he is hiding something. Something very secretive."

Xerosic looked at him. He then looked at Joe. He turned to Xatusite, "Well, we are going to execute the order that the boss has given. It is obvious that we do not need him anymore."

The next day…

Tai was sitting down at a café, eating a few things as he was watching television. It has been two days since Joe Taylor has been missing and he decided to do a phone call to the psychic. As he looked up, he noticed Master Xatusite, wearing a black robe this time. Sitting down, he shook hands with Tai.

"Hello," said Tai, "My name is Tai Kwondk. I was wondering if you have heard from my good friend, Joe."

"Joe?" asked Xatusite, "Who's this Joe?"

"Well, he and I were high school classmates," he said, "He kind of helped me push people down the stairs… anyway, I was wondering if you knew where he was. Here's a photo."

Tai reached into his pocket. Immediately, a picture of Joe Taylor was shown. Xatusite picked up his camera. Taking the photo he then looked at him, "Photography Future Sight!"

He then showed the photo to Tai. Tai looked at the photo, "You can't be serious… why the hell is he at a dumpsite?"

"There's a dumpsite not far from Geosenge Town. That's where his last known location was," he said. Getting up, the genie raised his hand, "30,000 pokedollars please."

Tai slowly nodded as he reached for his wallet. A check was written out for it. As he gave it to the genie, he grinned, "It was nice doing business with you."

Later that day...

Tai managed to get on his Battle Harley. Driving through Shalour City and the Reflection Cave, he managed to get to Geosenge City within an hour and a half. Dropping off the Battle Harley, he saw the dumpsite. It was filled with tires, bones and just junk. He continued to walk toward the area. As he continued walking, he sighed as he looked at a few cars. He then noticed something… peculiar. As he walked closer, he noticed something familiar.

"I have a bad feeling about this," said Tai, taking out his Pokémon, "Scyther, come on out!"

Scyther's Poké Ball was thrown out and his Pokémon appeared.

"Scyther, carefully slice the car up with your blades… somebody's underneath that car," said Tai.

Carefully, Scyther managed to rip open the car. As Tai removed a piece or two from the car, his heart stopped. His eyes popped out as he saw blood coming from Joe's face. He was dead. His Scyther looked at Tai's face. His face was full of anger, "The Shadow Clan did this."

He reached for his Battle Brace, "Battle Force, this is Battle Kanto."

"Battle Kalos here, what's wrong Tai?" asked Ryan over the intercom.

"I found Joe Taylor. He's dead," said Tai.

"… Great. So, we don't have a lead to who did this?" asked Ryan.

"As far as I'm aware, no," said Tai.

"Well," said Ryan, "Come back to base."

Tai nodded, "Understood, Kanto out."

As he put the Battle Brace away, he then reached for his Poké Ball, "Scyther, return!"

The red beam came out of his Poké Ball as Scyther returned. He was continuing to walk toward his Battle Harley. While he hopped on, Master Xatusite was watching him. He then took out his camera and took a picture of him, "Photography Future Sight!"

In a flash, a photo of a gigantic Venusaur was shown. He then looked at Tai as he drove off, "So, that's what they are planning. He's an agent of Battle Force."

He quickly got into a blue car and started following our green friend. As Tai got on Route 11, he noticed Xatusite's car within miles. As he got into the one lane mark, he got into Reflection Cave. However, as Xatusite went to stop, an orange truck managed to pull out. Xatusite screamed as he pushed the breaks and almost crashed in. He got out of the car, "What is the meaning of this?"

A man jumped off of the orange truck. He took off his hat, revealing himself, "Hi, Kalos Department of Transportation has closed off the Reflection Cave. You need to detour it or go on foot."

Xatusite looked at him, "Kiss my psychic ass…"

"Okay," he said. Hopping back on, he put the truck in reverse and the opening appeared. Xatsuite got back in the car and continued his journey. The man jumped off the truck, revealing his identity. Derek was sitting there, eating a chocolate bar, "So, that's the guy working for the Shadow Clan?"

Later that day…

"So," said Sean, looking at the rangers, "Xatusite has something to do with Taylor's death?"

"Yeah," said Tai, "It's just figuring it out."

Oliver shook his head. He looked at Tai as he was watching the news, "So, I wonder what will happen now?"

"Well, Xatusite was spying on me," said Tai, "I saw a flash of light coming from a blue car when I was at the dumpsite… oh no."

"What?" asked Ryan, looking at Tai. Tai clenched his fist as he smacked it on the counter, "DAMN IT!"

Cassidy raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"

"I got too close and I fell for the trap," said Tai, looking at the other rangers, "Guys, he may have photographed me and my memory. He knows!"

"Knows what?" asked Derek.

"If he tapped into my memory by taking the photo that means any record of the Battle Force Zords are now in the enemy's hands. We need to stop him now!" shouted Tai.

Sean sighed as he put his hands on the table. He looked at him as the other rangers were looking at him.

"Rangers, we need to eliminate the problem. Find Xatusite and eliminate him. Clemont must finish the final touches," said Sean.

"Yes sir!" said Ryan, "Rangers, we must come up with a plan. Do you know where Xatusite might have his place?"

Tai sighed, "He was at the café outside the city."

"I see," said Ryan, looking at him, "And wasn't there a psychic demonstration today?"

Oliver nodded, snapping his fingers, "Yes, I do remember that!"

"Okay," said Cassidy, looking at them, "Then, I have an idea. Follow me."

The rangers, looking at the pink ranger, decide to follow her. As they went to leave, Sean stood up, "Tai, stay here."

The rangers walked away from Tai. The doors closed behind him. Sean walked toward him as he put his right hand on his left shoulder, "You were lucky to have Derek be there for backup. He went on his own free will. But, for you to search for your personal friend…"

"He was a friend," said Tai, "A good friend."

"It doesn't matter. You went out on your own. How did you even find him?" asked Sean.

"Oliver sent me a message," said Tai, "I looked him up online and I contacted him that way. I knew he was suspicious, but I had to find him… and now that he's dead…"

"You didn't even go without someone else…," said Sean, looking at him, "Nor did I tell you to pursue it further until I got more clues. Psychic monsters like that are the reason why we have to be careful. And now that they have our secret… we better destroy him before the Shadow Clan knows."

Tai slowly nodded as he looked at Sean, "I'll do what I can to make it right."

Sean sighed, "Well, usually I would suspend you or take you off the case but because this is crucial, you're lucky you are still here. I'm very rough on you guys because when I was a ranger, I had to make calls that were tough and I don't want you to fall into the same traps that happened to me. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir. I'll have backup on me, sir!" said Tai.

Sean slowly nodded, "Good. Now, go help the others."

Later that evening…

The demo at Coumarine City was exhilarating. The lights were shining through the windows and the skies. There was a pink and red building as Master Xatusite was doing his psychic demonstrations. As he did his photography and magic tricks, people were getting the oohs and ahs as feedback. Cassidy, dressed in her purple dress was had her earpiece on, "Surprisingly, he is alone."

"Alone?" asked Ryan, over the speaker while sitting in a chair, "Why? Unova, theories?"

"It's a possibility that whatever information that was sent from Tai is now sent to the Shadow Clan. So, he got a night off," said Derek, dressed up as a waiter.

Oliver nodded as he was sitting in the back row, dressed as a security guard, wearing sunglasses. He noticed men dressed in trench coats carrying concealed weapons through the lenses. As they sat down, Oliver pressed a button.

"Everyone, it seems that the Shadow Ninjas are here and they are armed," muttered Oliver.

"Thank you, Johto," said Ryan, "Kanto, are you in position?"

"Yes," said Tai, dressed in a tuxedo, "I'm in the first row, ready to volunteer. Johto, make sure you get a clean shot. Unova, Kanto and Kalos, try to get the people out of here. Our goal is to get Xatusite BEFORE the Clan shoots down innocent bystanders."

Xatusite smiled as he stood on the stage. There were black spotlights on him with a red background, "Who's next?"

Tai jumped up, "ME!"

"Ah, yes! Come on up!" said Xatusite, grinning.

He walked up the stairs to the stage with the audience clapping. He then looked at Xatusite as he knelt down, "Can you see my future?"

"Your future?" he asked, taking out the camera, "I know your memory too. Allow me to take photos of your memory."

While that was going on, Derek pressed his button on his microphone, "All rangers, prepare to move in."

Immediately, photos of Tai were taken. He then smiled as he posted the photos online for everybody to see. The people were amazed at the beautiful designs of the Pokémon that were on there… and a big robot blueprint.

"Seems you have awesome memories," said Xatusite, "And I know your secret… Battle Kanto!"

"Huh?" asked Tai.

Suddenly, Derek walked up on stage. He tripped and fell with the glasses, landing on top of Master Xatusite. The glasses broke in millions of pieces. Quickly, Cassidy and Ryan got up as they opened the side doors before more things were to happen. The Shadow Ninjas revealed themselves with their concealed weapons. People began to scream and leave. Before there were bullets, Oliver threw darts at the Ninjas in the back row. People started running away from all exits. Xatusite started to run out the door.

As he ran out the door with the photos in his hand, an arrow shot the flames down. His stack of photos started to burn.

"No! Even the ones from earlier today!" he shouted.

"That's what you get," said Ryan.

Master Xatusite turned around. The rangers surrounded him from all sides. Tai walked up to him, "Master Xatusite, you will pay for what you did to Joe Taylor!"

Tai jumped up as he went to throw a punch. Master Xatusite grabbed his hand and threw him on the ground. Derek and Ryan jumped up as they went to kick him. Master Xatusite blocked their attacks. Derek was smacked in the face by a punch and Ryan was roundhouse kicked in the stomach and then on the ground. Immediately, Oliver went to grab him by the back. Cassidy went to kick him in the face, but she was being choked by Master Xatusite. Oliver chopped his neck as he landed on the ground. As he got up, he swept all five of the rangers on the ground. Laughing, he went to take out his knife to stab Tai. However, Tai kicked him in the face. The rangers all got up as he looked at the team.

"Rangers, Scramble Kick!"

Immediately, the rangers dashed in multiple places. Everyone did a roundhouse kick to the face one at a time. Finally, Tai used a flying sidekick, sending Xatusite to the ground. Xatusite grew very angry as a pink aura surrounded him. The rangers watched as a humanoid Xatu appeared with golden arms and green legs. He had Xatu wings that were shaped like daggers.

"My name is Xatusitar, the Shadow Monster of the Clan… prepare to die!"

Ryan and the others stood together as they took out their Battle Braces. Tai stepped out in the middle.

"Rangers, Let's Poké Battle!" said Tai.

"Right!" said the rangers, "Battle Force, Battle Ready!"

The rangers immediately transformed into their suits.

"Battle Kalos! Red!"

"Battle Unova! Yellow!"

"Battle Johto! Blue!"

"Battle Kanto! Green!"

"Battle Sinnoh! Pink!"

"Poké Rangers…," said Ryan.

"Battle Force!"

As they marched forward, the Shadow Ninjas popped out in front of Xatusitar. The rangers easily dealt with them on hand to hand combat. As the grunts were destroyed, Tai headed straight toward Xatusitar. Xatusitar slashed Tai in the stomach. As he landed on the ground, the creature went to stab him in the stomach.

"Saur Whip!"

A green aura surrounded his Battle Blaster as his whip appeared. He smacked Xatusitar with the weapon. Slashing back and forth, Xatusitar landed on the ground. As he went to smack him with the weapon, Xatusitar released a psychic wave.

"I can't move!" he yelled.

"Say goodbye!"

Suddenly, flaming arrows hit Xatusitar in the chest. Looking around, it seems that Ryan had her Fox Bow in hand. Before Xatusitar could fight back, Derek came across with his Thunder Sword. As he landed on the ground, Tai broke free from his power.

"Are you okay?" asked Derek.

Tai nodded, "Never been better."

Cassidy and Oliver attacked him with their weapons. As they landed on the ground, the rangers got the blue and pink ranger up from the ground. Xatusitar released his daggers. Explosions magically occurred. Xatusitar looked around as the smoke cleared.

"Where did they go?"

"Right here!"

Xatusitar turned around, finding the rangers ready to battle. The rangers stood together in a line with their Battle Blasters in the air. They transformed them into sticks without the saber, "Penta Force Blaster!"

The sticks were flown into the air. Immediately, two sticks became the nozzle while the other three sticks held the foundation of the blaster. Landing on the ground, Cassidy and Derek were on the left side while Tai and Oliver were on the right, leaving Ryan in the back.

"Fire!" yelled Ryan.

Two red rockets came emerged out of the blaster. Immediately, Xatusitar screamed as he landed on the ground. An explosion occurred as a result of it. Tai sighed as he landed on the ground, "We're safe."

"Yes," said Derek, "We are. That was a close call."

Cassidy sighed as she looked at Tai, "Well, at least you can redeem yourself."

Ryan grinned, "Well, it wasn't that bad. As long as you didn't cross the other side… Derek."

Derek looked at her and then shook his head. Oliver reached up and grabbed Tai's hand, pulling him up to the ground, "Now, that was an impressive plan and an amazing win on our behalf."

Tai sighed as he looked up at the moon, "Well, I don't know about you guys… but a shower and a bed would be nice."

The rangers looked at each other. Yeah, they had a rough day with battling. So, they can't blame Tai for it.

"However," said Derek, "Because you didn't call me to help you… guess who's washing the Harleys?"

Tai's jaw dropped, "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!"

Next Time…

The big moment is here! The Shadow Clan release a monster who plans on stealing the Battle Force Zord plans. However, an agent working for Sean goes rogue to stop them. However, it's a showdown when both the Battle Force and the Shadow Clan use their secret weapons against each other? What could go wrong? What would happen? You don't want to miss it!

Chapter 5: The Force Awakens (no, not referencing Star Wars… haha this was before the trailer)

A/N: So, yeah. I finally finished this chapter. It's been crazy. So, I will be updating more. This was an interesting chapter to write up. I wonder what Chapter 5 will be like. Feel free to send reviews!

In about a couple of days, I will be working on Mighty Morphin' Poké Rangers: Apocalypse. The prologue is on Fanfiction now. Go check it out!
