Onboard the Arrowhead, Cuborg noted that Archris was looking angry. More angry than usual. "Is there something wrong, Lord Archris?"

"Ignoblia hasn't returned since the race two days ago.", Archris answered. "And with Keldor on the loose, with all of our forces depleted, I can't afford to lose anyone."

"Perhaps she's simply thrown herself entirely into the search.", Cuborg tried suggesting. But then he saw Archris fuming at the suggestion. "I'll go out and look for her. Keldor won't see it coming." He then walked to the terminal and teleported to Earth.

Now alone, Archris took out the data core that Ignoblia had removed from the DestructZord. "Keldor is proving to be more of a nuisance than I realised.", he noted. "I may be forced to use this."

Down on Earth, Ignoblia came to within a disused car park, finding Keldor and Metal Alice standing over her. "Wakey Wakey, Ignoblia.", the former of the two commented. "I wouldn't try to move or remove your DNA cloak, we've tied you down to prevent you from being able to move at all." Sure enough, Ignoblia found that she had no room to do more than breathe. "We also took the opportunity to relieve you of your weapons." Keldor then indicated that her laser nunchaku were on a glass case.

"What will you do now?", Ignoblia asked. "Scrape my brain for an army of the strongest Hunters and mount an assault on the Arrowhead?"

"Nothing so time consuming.", Alice answered her. "Yes, we did use you to create an army. But they won't be launching a suicide attack against Archris."

"No, I plan to make Archris come to us.", Keldor clarified. "Why else do you think I left you alive, besides wanting you to answer questions when this is all over?"

Ignoblia knew the answer already. "To act as bait to lure Archris in."

"And now I need to secure bait to lure in the Rangers.", Keldor said in response. "My man is closing in on him."

In the woods near Savannah City, Luke was jogging with Stevie. "What's the matter?", she teased him. "You out of shape after 10 years in the woods?"

"I'll show you my shape.", Luke called back as he sped up, managing to outpace her and make it to the end of the road. "You should never try to outpace someone who became a Power Ranger."

"My sentiments exactly." Luke and Stevie turned to see the figure of Archris, standing right there. "It's nice to see that you're still a prime specimen. It'll make turning you back into my servant much easier."

"Archris!" Luke was now appropriately cautious. "Stevie, get out of here. Warn the others. Don't ask questions, just go."

Stevie then saw Luke take his Morpher out, and start fiddling with it. "Right. I'll do that.", she nodded before turning to run towards the town, as Luke morphed into the Chimera Ranger, silently.

"Oh, no words of greeting for your former master?", Archris questioned sarcastically. "Very well, it lets us get to the main event." Luke then came running towards him, trying to swing his Reel Staff with no results. "You really think this pitiful attack can touch me?"

"If that won't, then this will.", Luke stated as he changed into his Wolf form. He fired the Reel Blaster, only for Archris to catch the shot with his bare hands. "Looks like the others weren't exaggerating when they said you were tough." He tried firing again multiple times, only for Archris to swat all of the shots aside, forcing another change in tactics. "Primal Change: Alligator!" He then ran forward with his Reel Spear.

"You're beginning to bore me.", Archris stated as he launched bolts of energy at Luke, blowing him back and reverting him to his human state, knocking him out. He then pressed a communicator hidden on his head. "Master Keldor, I've acquired the target."

"Good work, my puppet.", Keldor responded from the other side, laughing as he revelled in the irony of having Archris as he entirely willing servant. "Now then, go and deliver the news to the other Rangers."

"Yes, Master.", the clone nodded, as it teleported away.

Back in Savannah City, Trunks and Tora were discussing with Mrs. Mack the story they had prepared to explain 'Adrien's' departure. "So he had some business out of town that required him to leave suddenly?", she summarised. "And he only had time to tell you before he left?"

"That's right.", Tora nodded.

"He's sorry he didn't tell you upfront, but you know.", Trunks took over. "Small schedule and whatever."

"I understand.", Mrs. Mack nodded. "Until I can find a replacement, you two will have to work a little harder." She then turned and walked out the back door. "I'll also give you both a temporary raise."

No sooner had Mrs. Mack left did Stevie come bounding in through the front door. "Bad news!", she blurted out. "Archris! Fighting Luke! In the woods!"

"Whoa, calm down there.", Trunks said as he grabbed onto Stevie's back and had her breathe in and out. "Now, what was that about Archris and Luke in the woods?"

Before Stevie could answer, the figure of Archris appeared in the shop. "She was about to say that I already defeated and captured your friend the Chimera Ranger."

"You got Luke?", Tora gasped, before going forward and ineffectually hitting Archris. "Give him back, now!"

"Calm yourself.", Archris responded as he backhanded her away. "I have him at the old mansion outside of town. The 5 of you should come alone if you hope to see him again." From the window, Keldor peaked in and did a finger snap, as the Archris in front of everyone inside seemingly teleported away.

"That seemed… different from the usual teleportation.", Trunks noted.

"Never mind that.", Tora insisted. "Luke's in danger. We need to save him."

Elsewhere, Luke was escorted into Keldor's makeshift headquarters by the revived Berserker. "Keldor! So that Archris who beat me was one of your clones.", he realised.

"How astute.", Keldor said, clapping sarcastically. "And to think I avoided targeting you in your civilian life because I thought you'd recognise my voice from your time as a Hunter." He then turned to the captive Ignoblia. "Looks like your 'Dear Chimera' was more gullible than I gave him credit for."

"Ignoblia?", Luke said, this time with some shock. "What are you doing here?"

"The same as you, my Dear Chimera.", was Ignoblia's answer. "Keldor wants your team to battle and destroy Archris. We're the bait to force the situation."

"Not yet, you aren't.", Keldor stated as he took the Hunter Morpher. "After all, I don't want either the Rangers or Archris coming here to rescue you."

Then Metal Alice pushed Luke against one of the pillars, pressing buttons that caused metal clamps to manifest around his chest and ankles, while leaving his arms free. "I still don't see why we didn't give his one more effective restraints."

"Because I want him to escape.", Keldor answered her. "Eventually. Once the dust has settled. And by then, we'll be long gone from this planet." He then walked away with the Hunter Morpher. "I just need to set up the bait. You stay here and stand guard."

As Keldor left, Luke turned to whisper to Ignoblia. "So, any ideas to escape?"

"Just one.", Ignoblia answered him. "But with my arms tied, it's not really a viable option right now."

Back at the zoo house, Trunks and Tora had explained the situation to the others. "Archris said he had Luke at an old abandoned mansion.", Tora stated. "Johnny, are there any you know of?"

"Well there is the old Franklin place.", was the answer Johnny gave. "That place hasn't been used since the owners all suffered food poisoning during the war. It'd be perfect for an evil hiding place."

"Or a booby trap.", Marina pointed out. "I mean, Archris barely lost to us last time. What's to say he won't try to level the playing field now that we've grown stronger."

"Well we won't know that until we meet him.", Lenny pointed out. "But I agree, it is an obvious trap."

"Which is why sending everyone of us in would be foolhardy.", Jeremy added as he walked in. "One of us should stay behind in case the others don't come back."

"And I suppose that would be you.", Trunks pointed out. "I mean, you're already our reserve member."

Jeremy smiled at this, after sighing. "Nothing gets past you, Trunks. You can see though anyone's subterfuge."

"Anyone except Keldor's.", Trunks sighed. "Perhaps if I'd been just a little more suspicious."

"You can't keep beating yourself up over that.", Tora insisted. "Right now, we should focus on saving Luke."

Jeremy stepped away from the computer terminal. "I've input coordinates for the Franklin mansion. You can teleport there right now."

"Thanks.", Johnny nodded, before he took out his Wild Morpher. "I suggest we go all out if we want to beat Archris's possible traps." He opened it and pressed the red button. "It's Morphin' Time!"

The others except for Jeremy followed him, before pressing their respective numbers. "Primal Spirits, Awaken!" They closed the Morphers and formed the Wild Fury logo, morphing into the Rangers. They then walked through the portal that had opened.

It was then that Sir Caesar wandered in, having just woken up. "What's happening?", he asked.

"Oh nothing, just a rescue mission that might be suicidally dangerous.", Jeremy answered. "But we're holding back in case things go wrong, so you'd better wake up fast."

Elsewhere, the 5 Rangers came to an old, gothic mansion in the middle of a quarry. "This is the place.", Johnny stated. "If Archris was honest, Luke will be in here."

"He was.", Marina stated, as she put her hand to her ear. "I can hear Luke inside, crying in pain. No, he's screaming." Sure enough, she could hear Luke's voice calling out. "Johnny, help me! Johnny!" "He's in the master bedroom."

"Then let's go.", Johnny said as he ran forward, with the others struggling to keep up.

But as they went, they were observed by Keldor and a copy of Cuborg he had created. "Phase one has gone through.", Keldor noted. "The rats have run for the cheese. "Now it's your turn."

"Right.", Clone!Cuborg nodded.

Johnny ran up to the doors and after struggling with the knobs, he forced the doors open. "Hey, wait up.", Lenny called after him as he entered the building, followed by Marina, Tora and Trunks.

As everyone else went on ahead, Tora and Trunks stayed behind to see the door close behind them. "Who closed the door?", Tora asked as she went and checked them. "We're locked in."

Trunks also tried the door, but to no avail. "Seems whoever brought us here doesn't want us to leave just yet.", he noted.

Lenny ran through the catacombs beneath the house. "Luke, where are you?", he called out. "Luke!" He then saw and tried an exit door, but it too had been locked. "Oh come on."

Johnny then came bounding in, with Marina following soon afterwards. He then went for the other door. "We can't get out!", he fumed.

"You mean we're stuck in here?", Marina asked.

But then Johnny saw a set of stairs. "Maybe not. These could lead us to Luke." He then made a bound for the stairs, but was deflected by a forcefield.

"I'm guessing these also provide us with a way out.", Marina noted as Trunks and Tora came running. "Archris is taking no chances."

The door everyone had come in through then closed and locked itself. "I don't know.", Trunks noted. "This seems a bit too tactical for Archris."

Everyoen then got together in a huddle. "Well no matter who set this up, we're getting out of here.", Johnny declared. He then changed forms. "Primal Change: Gorilla!" He ran forward and began to punch at the barrier. "

"Johnny, what are you doing?", Tora asked as she went up to him.

"I've let Luke slip by me twice now.", Johnny stated as he continued punching ferociously. "And I'm not going to let him go again!"

Marina and Lenny then joined him in punching the barrier. "Neither will we!", said Marina.

Up on the Arrowhead, Cuborg came running in. "Master, I've located Ignoblia. The Power Rangers have captured her."

"What?", Archris asked, his anger beginning to build.

"They said they'd captured her at an old house near their city.", Cuborg continued. "They said that if you didn't show up to battle them, then they'd destroy her."

"So, the Rangers have grown bold enough to threaten my assistant.", Archris growled as he got up from his throne. "Then perhaps this time, I will not be lenient when I defeat them."

"Master, are you sure about this?", Cuborg asked. "Surely I should go and retrieve Ignoblia."

"No.", Archris insisted. "If the Rangers want to fight me, then fight me they shall."

Down on Earth, as the Rangers continued pushing through the forcefield, it suddenly switched off, causing all of them to fall onto the stairs. "Weird, but I'll take it.", Johnny commented as everyone moved on up the stairs.

They soon burst into the master bedroom, where Luke had been left bound and gagged on the bed. "It's okay.", Tora said as she removed the gag and cut through his bonds. "We came to save you."

"No, we're not okay.", Luke blurted out. "It's Archris. He's gonna be here any sec-."

Before he could finish the sentence, a loud explosion could be heard from outside, as everyone was shook. Marina went over to the windows, and sure enough, "Archris just appeared, guys.", she relayed. "Not good."

"Looks like this is the final showdown with him.", Johnny stated. "Luke, are you ready?"

"I was born ready.", Luke stated as he took out his Hunter Morpher and set it to the Rhino face. "Predator Spirits, Awaken!" In a flash, he was transformed into the Chimera Ranger.

Outside the house, Archris looked on. "Power Rangers, come out to play!" He fired a beam at the house that annihilated it utterly, with the Rangers leaping out unharmed, Johnny having reverted to his Eagle form. "Good, you survived. Now I want you to release Ignoblia from your captivity, and I might spare your lives."

"What are you talking about?", Johnny asked. "We haven't seen Ignoblia since that last battle. Now why did you try to kidnap Luke?"

"Don't try to lie to me.", Archris growled. "I couldn't care less about the Chimera Ranger after his betrayal. Now tell me what I want to know or -." He soon felt Cuborg's sword pressed against his back. "I sense we've all been lured into a trap."

"Indeed.", Keldor stated as he waved his arm, summoning a group of revived and copied monsters, including Berserker, Thornhead, King Card, Techno-Wizard, Split, Gourmonster and a newcomer who appeared to have a disposable camera making up his top half, who all proceeded to surround Archris. "I used clones of Archris and Cuborg to lure you all into this scenario."

"I knew it.", Trunks said as he pumped his fist. "Kidnapping our friend and creating a trap didn't seem like Archris's style."

"You're really celebrating that now?", Marina asked. "These guys are about to kill us."

"No, I'm not going to kill any of you.", Keldor assured them. "Like I said before, I needed your help to truly defeat Archris. And since you wouldn't come willingly, I decided to force the issue. Which was only possible thanks to Mantack's generous donation." He presented the Anima Arm as he said this.

Archris was now angry. "And you used it, and I assume Ignoblia's mind to create this army of former Hunters, plus two."

"Ah, you noticed Berserker and Lense.", Keldor laughed as he went over to the camera creature. "He was just some bounty hunter Ignoblia met once, or something. I recreated him because what she remembered about him made him seem formidable."

"Why thank you.", Lense nodded. "I'm proud to help bring Archris to his photo finish, as a copy of the universe's second greatest bounty hunter."

"And the rest of you?", Archris asked the other members of the army. "What possible reason would you have to side with this treacherous whelp over me?"

"You were planning to gip us out of our payment.", Berserker growled.

"You've destroyed countless lush worlds.", Thornhead hissed.

"You treated me like a mere commoner.", King Card grumbled.

"You yawned during my performance.", Techno-Wizard declared.

"You gave me advice that ended in my death.", Split snarled.

"You never complimented my cooking.", Gourmonster said last.

"And you, Cuborg?", Archris said, seemingly genuinely hurt. "I created your original, and you still turn on me?"

"You didn't create me.", Cuborg snarled. "Keldor told me the truth. I'm just some organic whose heart you stuff in a neocadmium shell to slow down my regenerative abilities and wiped my memories to make me think I was a robot slave. Who was I before you? Did you kill me as well?"

"If anything, it's ironic.", Keldor stated. "Your end will be at the hand of those you have wronged, Archris. Including myself and the Rangers. This will be for Empress Floriana, whose empire I will resume once I'm done with you."

"What are they talking about?", Tora asked. "Does Keldor think we'll help him destroy Archris?"

"Why not?", Luke stated confidently. "Let's team up and rid the universe of his evil forever. What do you say, guys?"

"If you want it bro," Johnny answered. "Let's do it."

Trunks and the others were shocked by this. "You're really going along with Keldor's plan?", he asked, confused.

"I don't care who came up with it.", Luke fumed. "This is our perfect chance to get rid of Archris and end the conflict in the process."

"That's a good point.", Lenny decided as he pumped his fists.

"Nice to see you're all onboard.", Keldor commented. "Now present your arms." Everyone then pulled out and pointed their weapons, with Lense's being a trident.

"Primal Blasters!", the Rangers formed their weapons.

Luke changed to Wolf form. "Reel Blaster!"

"Fire!" Everyone fired their beams at Archris at once, surrounding him with flames.

But when they cleared, Archris was unharmed, and holding the data core. "You should've remembered I had this.", Archris said to Keldor. "A copy of the Whale Zord's power of creation. Enough to negate my destruction from this attack, and enough for me to restore my true self." He then inserted it into his body, causing an explosion that blew everyone back. When the light cleared, his mechanical lower half that made him seem abnormally tall was gone, replaced with a pair of regular legs. He also had a pair of large, silver and gold wings with tentacles on his back. "Now, face my true power!"

"So that's the real Archris?", Johnny asked.

"Yes, and he's nothing to trifle with.", Keldor stated, remembering how in this form, Archris had managed to challenge and eventually destroy Floriana.

"I can feel the power radiating off him.", Marina said, apprehensive.

"How can we beat something so powerful?", Tora asked, apprehensive.

"You can't.", Archris stated. "In this form, I am indestructible. Whole planets have fallen before it and will do so again."

"Y-you planned this?", Keldor realised, thinking back to the DestructZord's battle with the Whale Zord, during which the data had been gathered.

Archris laughed. "Do you really think I wasn't aware of your pitiful ambitions to overthrow me?", he asked. "I knew from the day you were forcibly recruited that you'd someday attempt to dethrone me, and made some preparations in case you seemed particularly rebellious. Like when you sent me to destroy the Rangers, or rather to be destroyed by the Rangers."

"No.", Keldor said, now terrified for his life.

"Keldor!", Johnny called out. "Let's try again. We can probably blow him away this time."

Archris then landed onto his feet for the first time in a long while. "You're welcome to try." He then turned towards Keldor and started advancing slowly. "But my treacherous subordinate can tell you all too well that it won't work."

"I-I-I'm sorry!", Keldor cried out. "I didn't know this would happen."

"Who was that addressed to, I wonder?", Archris asked. "Not that it'll matter after today." He leapt backwards into the air, generating a pair of energy blades with his hands. He then fired them at Keldor, barely missing his eyes but creating an explosion behind him, which the other Rangers recoiled from. "You get my point?", Archris asked as he extended his right arm, which now had a blade, towards Keldor. "No-one defies me and lives to tell the tale. Any last words?"

"Just one.", Keldor said as he nervously stepped back, before waving his arm. "Attack!"

Clone!Cuborg then got up and charged in, followed soon after by the other clones, to battle Archris. "We should join in.", Luke insisted as he pounded his fists together.

Trunks stopped him. "Wait a minute. We don't even know if we can win this fight."

But Luke grabbed onto him. "This is the best chance we'll get to rid the universe of Archris." He then turned and ran in. "Super Primal Mode, Unleash!"

Much to Trunks's dismay, Marina and Lenny also ran into the fray. "Primal Mode, Unleash!"

"Guess there's no choice.", Johnny decided as he summoned the Whale Morpher, changing forms. "Primal Evolution!"

Tora, now concerned, ran over to Trunks. "Everyone's just blindly running to their doom."

"All because Luke suggested it.", Trunks realised. "We'd better join them."

The two then assumed their own Primal Modes and ran into the fray. Archris used his twin arm blades to cut through his opponents, before leaping up and releasing a blast of energy that caused explosions.

Trunks then ran in to face him directly, but was knocked aside. "You don't seem to understand my message.", Archris said as he jammed a blade into Techno-Wizard. "Perhaps this will make it clearer." He then threw Techno-Wizard to one side, causing him to disintegrate. He then released slashes of energy against all opponents, with only Thornhead failing to dodge and paying the price for it. He then leapt over to nearer the cliff face, energy charging in his wings. "Thunder Strike!" He launched blasts of energy from his wings that hit everyone in the area.

Several of the combatants were hit and disintegrated into clone matter - including Luke! "How dare you!", Split growled as he ran forward. "Do we mean nothing to you?"

"Luke!", Johnny called out as he and Trunks both jumped towards the fallen Hunter Morpher. "Where'd he go?"

"He was just another clone.", Trunks answered. "A decoy to lure us into Keldor's scheme. After all, if the real Luke had wanted to blow away Archris, wouldn't we agree with him."

"Then where"s the real Luke?", Marina asked.

"Probably at Keldor's real base.", Lenny realised. "Along with Ignoblia."

"Then where is he?", Johnny asked angrily. "Where's my brother?"

But having seen Archris execute Clone!Cuborg, Keldor was in no mood for answers. "Tell you what, I'll just go and let everyone go and you'll never hear from me again." He turned and ran off like the devil was chasing him. Which in a way, he was.

"Hold it!", Trunks called out angrily as he set off running after the villain. "You've messed with us for the last time."

"Me and Trunks particularly.", Tora growled as she joined her partner in running after Keldor.

"It doesn't matter where he runs off to.", Archris laughed as he turned to the terrified Lense, Split and Gourmonster, blasting them with a beam from his hands. "My new servants will quickly ensure that there's nowhere for him to run."

Hit by the beam, the three clones grew to giant size. "We're gonna turn this town upside down.", Split announced.

"And then gobble what's left into little itty bitty pieces.", Gourmonster added.

"It'll look to die for.", Lense laughed.

The three monsters then began marching towards the city. "We can't let them keep rampaging.", Marina realised. "The entire city will be destroyed."

"What will it be, Rangers?", Archris asked. "You can either defeat me here and now, but condemn those poor innocent humans to die, or you can save them and let me free to continue my work destroying and conquering everything in the universe."

Tora and Trunks soon came running back. "We couldn't find Keldor.", Tora explained. "What's the sitch?"

"Giant monsters, three of them.", Johnny answered. "Lenny, care to help me pilot the Whale?"

"Sure.", Lenny nodded as he gave his Lion cube to Marina. "She can handle the main Megazord."

"That's right.", Marina nodded as she took the cube, along with taking her own out.

"Cubezords, enlarge!", the 5 announced.

"I knew your conscience would be your undoing.", Archris laughed as he teleported away.

Elsewhere, the three monsters had arrived in the city, when the Cubezords began to combine right next to them. "Great, now they're on the agenda.", Split growled.

"Zords combine!"

The Eagle, Shark and Lion Zords combined under Marina's control. "Beast Force Megazord, ready!"

The the Gorilla, Tiger and Elephant Zords combined under the control of Trunks and Tora. "Jungle Megazord, ready!"

"Two against one.", Gourmonster noted. "We can easily leave you feeling stuffed."

"That's what you think!"

Finally, Johnny and Lenny converted the Whale Zord, with the latter receiving the appropriate Primal Burst armour. "Whale Zord Battle Mode, ready!"

"Whoah, there's no missing that guy.", Lense commented. "He's huge." The three monsters soon found themselves caught between three Megazords.

"Let's go, everyone.", Johnny announced.

"Right.", the others all nodded.

The fight then began in earnest, with the Whale fighting Lense, the Beast Force giving Marina a rematch with Gourmonster and the Jungle Megazord facing Split.

In the car park, Metal Alice left the room. "I'll be back in a few minutes with your dinner.", she stated. "You won't be able to escape in that time."

As she left, Luke turned to Ignoblia. "Alright, what was this plan of yours, and why can't you carry it out without me?"

Ignoblia sighed. "I need you to reach into my mouth.", she answered. "You think you're up for that?"

"S-sure.", Luke nodded. "But what do you keep in your mouth that can ensure our escape? A cutting tool of some kind?"

"You'll know it when you feel it.", Ignoblia answered. "It's shaped like a sphere."

Luke reached his arms back and entered her mouth with his fingers. "Wow, there's a lot of gunk in here.", he commented before he felt something metallic and smooth. "I think I've got it."

"Pu' i' ou'.", Ignoblia urged, as Luke did exactly that, yanking the sphere like device out of her mouth. "Why thank you. Now I can work."

Luke then looked at the device carefully. "Wait a minute." He recognised it from when the others were hanging around in their natural forms. "This is… a DNA cloak?"

Metal Alice returned, dropping the tray he was carrying. "Wh-what is that creature?"

A large vine like tendril shot out and slammed the robot into the wall. "Keldor's lack of knowledge, I can easily forgive. But as a machine, I can never forgive you for daring to keep me captive." She then pressed down to imprint Alice within the wall. Luke saw this and was so shocked, that he dropped the DNA cloak.

Ignoblia then reached out and picked it up, reinserting it into her mouth, before walking up to Luke in her regular form, and tearing off his restraints. "You helped me escape, so I'll return the favour. You'd better get out of here, before I change my mind." Luke nervously nodded, before getting up and running off.

Cuborg soon came bounding in. "Ignoblia, it took me ages to find you. Are you alright? Did Keldor harm you?"

"Yes and no to your respective questions.", Ignoblia answered. She then demonstrated the damaged frame of Metal Alice. "As you can see, I managed to escape from this predicament unharmed. "Now come, Archris will be expecting us back at his side." The two then teleported out.

Despite the damage, Alice was still functional. "M-must warn Master K-K-Keldor. Prisoners have escaped." She then limped on out of the building.

Back in the city, the three giant monsters were knocked back by the Rangers' Megazords. "We can't let them beat us.", Split growled.

"Combination Blast!" The three of them then launched combined energy beams at the Whale Zord, with the other two moving in to block him. When the smoke cleared, the two Megazords had swapped their top halves around, so that Trunks and Tora were piloting the Beast Force Megazord Jungle Formation, while Marina was in the Jungle Megazord Beast Formation, wielding the Mole Drill Blaster.

"It's time we end this.", Johnny stated.

"Right.", Lenny nodded as he inserted the Primordial Spear Key into the Whale Morpher, while Marina and Trunks inserted their Morphers into the control weapons.

"Beast Force Super Kick!"

"Mole Drill Burst!"

"Primordial Spear Hydro Thrust!"

The attacks combined to hit all three aliens at once. "I should've known working with others was a recipe for disaster.", Gourmonster bemoaned, as all three exploded.

"Top of the -.", Johnny began to say, before he noticed Trunks and Tora disappearing. "Wait, what's happening?" But then he realised. "They're more of Keldor's clones."

"But if that's the case," Marina asked, "then where are the real Trunks and Tora?"

Elsewhere, Keldor had watched the entire battle from the middle of the woods, alongside Trunks and Tora. "Ok, I fulfilled my part of the bargain with you.", Keldor said to them sarcastically.

A few minutes earlier…

As Keldor ran away, both Trunks and Tora managed to catch onto Keldor as he warped away. "Aww, can't you guys just leave me alone?", he whined.

"Oh no, you owe us for all the trouble you've caused us.", Trunks insisted. But as he raised his fist, he saw the three monsters get enlarged in size. "We can't leave you to fight, but we can't leave our friends hanging."

"I know.", Tora suggested. "Keldor can use his powers to create copies of us, and we'll give them our Zords and send them to help." She then pointed her Primal Saber at Keldor. "Right?"

"I have to say, you strike a hard bargain.", Keldor nodded nervously, before scanning both their memories and creating duplicates of them in-suit. "Be warned that these ones will only have a half-life of a few minutes. Morphin' Grid energy isn't easy to readily copy for long periods."

"That's all they need.", Trunks said as he and Tora entrusted their Zords to their doubles. "Now send them to our friends, using whatever teleport you have."

Keldor sighed and did a gesture with his hand, teleporting the two away.

Now.

"I'll keep our terms simple.", Trunks told Keldor. "A fight to the finish. If I win, then you have to surrender and turn yourself in. But if you win, then we'll let you go to keep causing mayhem and destruction throughout the universe until Archris finds you and subjects you to a horrible fate."

"Sounds like not much of a choice.", Keldor pointed out. "But since I'm short of options, so be it. A duel to the finish, where only one can walk away." He pulled out his KelSaber. "Let's do this, Trunks."
