The Origins of Metallic Grant and Lady Darcine
Grande Morevils Lair - Training Room
Metallic Grant is raged, he is angry that his apprentice Slitor failed him. But he is also mad that Telegator and Clondurk went behind his back to use Slitor without him. He slashes every single log dice to dice. His eyes are glowing red, feeling ragged with power. He is ready to knock down every swordsman he sees, including the Red Ranger and his Power Sword. Telegator watches the whole thing. He doesn't know what to do in this situation. Metallic Grant is drenched with sweat, he is panting and panting like a dog on a hot summer day. Telegator enters the room. Metallic Grant wants to strike him down, but is too exhausted to swing "You better get out of here, or else…." he says, panting really hard. Telegator throws a bucket of water at the swordsman, "you really hate that we used him? We had a reason" he says to Metallic Grant. Metallic Grant yells at the Gator "I needed him to take down Red! Red has a sword! I needed an assistant to take him down!" he plants his hands on the ground, dripping in sweat and water. Telegator goes over to him "what's the point of taking down Red? We all wanna take down the power rangers!" he says with a confused look on his face. Metallic Grant catches his breath, he says to the gator "it's not just red, it's anyone with a sword….. It is for my fallen planet!" He stares at the handle of his sword, showing a symbol looks like the tail of a scorpion but with the head of a wolf surrounded by a mane (the male lions hair), "it is for the planet…. Dusklin [Dus-KHLEN]..." he says, finishing his sentence. Telegator thinks about that planet "explain this planet. I know for a fact you and Darcy are both from there" he asks, wanting to know about the story. Metallic Grant gets up and sits down on a stool, he gets ready to explain "it all started back on planet Dusklin… we were a royal planet with a lot of background.

Leo Kingdom - Fighting Grounds
A load of henchmen clash their swords, they practice their fighting. One almost stabs the other person, but puts his sword away before he could do anything else. The Trainer says to the swordsman "that is how you do it!" he looks towards the other swordsman in training "see how your captain managed to knock off the other guys blade. That is how you knock off their weapon. Well done Sir Grant!" he says, applauding the Captain. Sir Grant takes off his helmet, he is a handsome man with long blonde hair. He smiles towards his group. "Thank you Sir Nicholas, I am very honored to help teach your new trainers about swordsplay" he says with a smile. Grant looks at a female with long blonde hair. The female smiles at him, she feels honored to have Grant as her trainer. Sir Nicholas stands to the crowd "we will continue this lesson tomorrow! Class is now dismissed!" the swordsmen in training put away their weapons and take off their armor. Sir Grant goes over to his tent, the female follows him. Sir Grant looks at the female, he says to her "It's good you have me as your trainer, but I am not giving you special treatment!" he says to her. The female laughs "you're my brother, you would've made me eat dirt just like when we were kids" she says to him. "Graseie [Gracie] I would've made you crawl on the dirt and make you sleep outside in the cold, but now you gave me the idea of making you eat dirt" he says with a snicker. Graseie put her head up, wondering why she had to open up her mouth. Sir Grant smiles at his little sister "come on, let's go get some food. I'll pay!" he says to his sister. After Sir Grant puts away his armor and sword, he takes his little sister to the mess hall.
Leo Kingdom - Mess Hall
Grant and Graseie eat their meal in the mess hall. They look around at all of the other swordsmen, he looks to see some in training. "Can't believe that you are going to be a captain soon?" Grant says to his Little Sister. Graseie smiles "It is an honor to have climbed new heights. I'm thankful to have had you help me along the way" she says to her brother. Grant responds "it was all you that did the work. I just guided you" he says to his sister. There is commotion going on at the line, a hooded figure bumps into a muscular axeman, he yells "hey! Whats the big idea!" he screams at the hooded figure. The hooded figure is frightened, the axeman yells "you are not supposed to wear hoods in the mess hall!" he yells angrily. Two other trainees grab the figure. The other captain yanks the cloak off the figure, ripping the cloak off the person. The captain gasps in shock, the figure is revealed to be the princess. The captain drops to his knees. The axeman is shaking with fear "p-r-pri-princess darcy…. I-I-I didn't mean-I did-I-Did-not…" he is unable to speak to the Princess, fearing that he is going to have his head cut off. Swordsman Grant comes over with his Little Sister following behind him "stand your ground. I can take it from here!" Grant says to the four. The other captain is speechless "but I-" he tries to say a word, but Grant cuts him off "but what? You were going to sentence her! What if she didn't have anything else on underneath that cloak?" he glares at the other captain. The Princess looks down at her outfit, revealing a red shirt and purple spandex. The other captain doesn't know how to respond. Grant says to him "I'll take care of this business. You guys, go!" They all hustle away from Grant. Grant helps Princess Darcy up to her feet.
Cut back to Present Day

Telegator is in disbelief "no way? You met a princess?" he asks, feeling surprised. Metallic Grant nods, "yes. She was a very beautiful woman. Still is today" he looks at the old picture of him and the princess.
Cut to the Lab
Grande Morevils Lair - Lab
Lady Darcine stares at an old picture of Grant and that beautiful woman. Clondurk comes into the room to see that Darince is looking at an old picture, it is wrinkled, ripped, but still in shape. He goes over to her, making her startle. Lady Darcine was about to click exit, but hits the scanner button, looking for any sign. She yells "what? What are you doing here? Do you know when to knock?" Clondurk responds "we have an automatic sliding door." Lady Darcine crosses her arms, pouting. Clondurk looks at the picture and scans, it shows both names of Metallic Grant and Lady Darcine. Clondurk says "This is an old picture of you?" Lady Darcine responds "it was! Was until our planet was destroyed." Clondurk asks "letting out your feelings can help make you feel better?" Lady Darcine looks at Clondurk "you're a psychologist now?" giving it an evil stare. Clondurk responds "I have helped another culture before you guys made me your muscles" it says to her. Lady Darcine looks at it and says "Well, if you must know? I have lived on a planet called Dusklin. Clondurks scanner shows the percentage of emotions flying out of Lady Darcine, it shows about 10%. The figure ask her "what was this life like? Before you worked for Grande Morevil?" feeling curious. Lady Darcine responds "it all started back when I was princess"

Leo Kingdom - Leo Castle - Darcys Room
A young beautiful princess with brown hair looks over her balcony. She feels bored just looking down at everything on the Leo Castle Grounds. She looks over to see a bunch of swordsmen in training. They are all working to help take care of the kingdom and castle. Princess Darcy takes a spare rod (for hanging curtains) and acts like she is taking down some invaders of the kingdom. She keeps whacking until her caretaker gets whacked in the face. Princess Darcy feels bad and goes over to her caretaker "Marvo! You can't barge in like that! I could've been changing!" Marvo gets up but rubs the left side of his face "princess, you know you can't be acting like this. You're royalty." Princess Darcy helps her caretaker up "I know, but it's so boring in this castle…" she says, trying not to explode. Marvo responds "you know you can't go out there. It's dangerous. What if you get attacked?" he yells, trying to protect Princess Darcy. The Princess responds "which is why I should take self defense!" she takes her rod and twirls it around.
Later that night…
Leo Kingdom - Leo Castle
Princess Darcy sneaks out of her room. She sees two cloaked guards, she sneaks inside of the laundry room and wears it as a disguise. She sneaks out of the castle and sees the land. She sees a man throw his silk covering on the ground yelling that he quits his job. Princess Darcy takes advantage of it and changes costumes. Disguising herself again just to blend in with the crowd.
Leo Kingdom - Village
Princess Darcy explores the village, she sees so many things being sold and up for sale. She observes people walking around, shopping, hanging out, etc. Darcy is blown away by all of this. She's never been out in town in person, only by video.
She sees a few swordsmen coming through town, they are led by a captain (a different captain, not the same captain like Grant). They are all worn out and dirty, just coming in from training. She overhears a conversation from a villager, the villager says to her son "those are swordmen in training, they serve our kingdom and help take down any threat. They are an army of warriors that will do anything to defend our kingdom, even our princess" the child gazes in astonishment. Darcy is amazed by the whole thing. She's heard of those soldiers, but never seen one in person. The only people she has seen with swords are the guards. She follows them to the camping grounds.
Leo Kingdom - Mess Hall
The Princess, still in disguise, walks into the mess hall. She observes the food being served. They all look so delicious, one of her favorites is Goulash, her childhood meal. She gazes at the soupy meal, until she hears a "can we keep it moving!" She looks to see a crabby soldier waiting for his food. Darcy slowly walks away until she bumps into a muscular axeman, he yells "hey! Whats the big idea!" he screams at the hooded figure. The hooded figure is frightened, the axeman yells "you are not supposed to wear hoods in the mess hall!" he yells angrily. Two other trainees grab the Darcy. The other captain yanks the cloak off of her, the cloak is torn, blowing Darcys secret. The captain gasps in shock, having no idea that it is Darcy under that cloak. The captain drops to his knees. The axeman is shaking with fear "p-r-pri-princess darcy…. I-I-I didn't mean-I did-I-Did-not…" he is unable to speak to the Princess, fearing that he is going to have his head cut off. Swordsman Grant comes over with his Little Sister following behind him "stand your ground. I can take it from here!" Grant says to the four. The axeman, trainees, and other captain look at him. Darcy looks over as well, she gazes at this strong muscular handsome man. Staring at his long blonde hair going down to his shoulders. She drops her jaw, staring at this man, feeling that she has been hit by cupid's arrow. The other captain is speechless "but I-" he tries to say a word, but Grant cuts him off "but what? You were going to sentence her! What if she didn't have anything else on underneath that cloak?" he glares at the other captain. The Princess looks down at her outfit, revealing a red shirt and purple spandex. The other captain doesn't know how to respond. Grant says to him "I'll take care of this business. You guys, go!" They all hustle away from Grant. Grant helps Princess Darcy up to her feet. He asks her "madam, are you okay?" Holding her hand. Darcy is speechless, she is unable to speak.
Graseie drops her jaw, "why are you out of your castle? You know how dangerous it is?" she scolds the Princess. Grant puts his hand up to Graseie, silencing her from yelling. "Sorry about her, she's still in training" Grant says to her, feeling apologetic. Darcy has no word to say, she is speechless. Graseie says "now look at her, she is so traumatized she can't even speak!" Grant looks at his Little Sister, he glares at her. He then turns to Darcy "you shouldn't be out here, this is no place for a princess" he says to her calmly. Graseies jaw drops, she has never seen her brother act so calmly towards anyone else.
Cut to the Castle
Leo Kingdom - Leo Castle
Grant and Graseie escort Princess Darcy to the grounds. The guards are all flabbergasted, they don't know how they manage to let Darcy out of their site. Marvo, her caretaker, dashes out of the castle having a panic attack "Princess! What were you thinking?!" he yells, scolding her. Grant is looking at her caretaker like he is insane "she just wanted to get out of the castle-" he says, trying to defend her, but Marvo cuts him off, "And a good thing she's back! Who knows what things could've happened to her!" he says, standing in front of her. Darcy is feeling suffocated by the protection, she is getting ready to explode, instead she grabs one of the staffs from the guards and whacks them, knocking them down. She then points the staff at her caretaker. Grant and Graseie are thrown off by the Princess, not knowing what to say about her. Marvo has his hands up in the air, trying not to strike at Darcy, he pleads to her "Princess, please…" he says, begging for mercy. She points her spear towards her caretaker, the rest of the guards are unsure what to do, Grant and Graseie stand there, unknowingly what to do in this situation. Grant steps forward, he goes over to them. Darcy lowers her spear a bit. Grant says something to the Princess "you've got skills" he says with a smirk. Marvo is unable to speak. Grant puts his index finger on the spear, he lowers it down, Darcy lets Grant lower the spear for her. Grant comes up with an idea, "how about it, a self defense class!" he says, offering her an opportunity. Marvo is offended "excuse me? This is a Princess! She does not need-" he is about to say more, until Darcy interrupts him. "I'll do it!" Darcy says, interrupting her caretaker. Marvo drops his jaw "Princess!?" he gasps in horror. Darcy lowers her spear "And I want Grant to help me!" she says to her caretaker. Marvo is in shock, Graseie is also shocked as well. Grant looks at Darcy right in the eyes, "I, Sir Grant, will be honored to work with Princess Darcy" Grant says to the Princess with honor.

Grande Morevils Lair - Training Room
Telegator gasps, "no way? You were Lady Darcines Trainer!?" he asks in disbelief. Metallic Grant nods, "she was a natural. Learned a lot about self defense." Telegator is impressed, he never knew that Lady Darcine learned from Grant. But he did remember that Metallic Grant learned a lot about his swordsman skills when he was a human. Telegator asks "so when did you two get together?" feeling curious about Grant and Darcine. Metallic Grant thinks about this "I wanna say during training…."
FADE OUT TO WHITE
Leo Kingdom - Leo Castle - Training Room
Months and Months go by, Princess Darcy cuts and slashes through the wooden logs. The Princess feels good about taking down the dummies. Grant smiles, feeling impressed by her. Grant and Darcy battle it out in a swordfight, using Shinais.
NOTE: A Shinai is a japanese sword used for practice and competition in kendo. It is typically made of bamboo. They are also used in Martial Arts but styled differently from Kendo Shinai. The light, soft wood used in a shinai distinguishes it from other wooden swords such as a bokken, which is generally made of heavier, sturdier wood.
Princess Darcy strikes Grant, but he knocks the Shinai out of her hands, it flies towards the door. Grant is about to strike Darcy on the shoulder, he stops, and taps her right shoulder. Darcy flinches a bit. Grant puts his shinai away "you shouldn't strike, it'll cause the defender to strike back and knock the sword out of your hands" he says to the Princess. Darcy is frustrated with this, she wants to strike her victims but has the habit to strike first instead. "How am I supposed to strike if I can't strike first?" Darcy asks, feeling frustrated. Grant advises the Princess "keep your guard up, do not let yourself go first, let the swordsman wield first." Princess Darcy is confused, she doesn't understand what Grant is saying, she leaves the room to cool off. Swordsman Grant looks at his blade, he then thinks about his time when he struck first. He struck first once and almost got hit by his trainer. Grant thinks about Darcy, she has the potential to fight, but there is more of Darcy that he sees in her.
Leo Kingdom - Village
Swordsman Grant nods at the Soldiers, he walks by them seeing how much better they have gotten after he left to become the Princesses Trainer. Graseie, the new leader of the soldiers, lets her group go into the campgrounds to settle down. Graseie goes to talk to her brother. "Has the Princess been whining lately?" She asks her brother. Grant responds "Darcy has such potential, but she gets frustrated so easily" Grant sits down on the bench, he puts his hands on his head facing the floor "but she tries to strike first, every time I tell her not too, she does it anyway. I try to tell her what's right or wrong, but she keeps doing the wrong thing…." Grant sits down feeling frustrated for his student. Graseie sits down and comforts her brother "maybe you shouldn't help her, it's not like you have feelings for her or anything?" She looks at him, Grant puts his head up a slight bit, he still eyes the ground. Graseie looks at Grant suspiciously, she asks "wait a minute? You don't have feelings for her? Do you?" She tries to peak at her brother, looking for a facial expression. Grant faces the ground trying to avoid his sister from looking at him. Graseie puts two and two together, "Wait? You have feelings for the Princess?" She asks, feeling shocked. Grant turns away from her. Graseie speaks to her brothers back "Grant? She's a Princess! You can't have feelings for her?" She asks, looking at her brother like he is insane. Grant turns to face his sister "as a matter of fact, yes! Yes I do!" He says, feeling confident. Graseie wants to feel proud of her brother, but not for him falling for a princess. "Grant! You know that this is not right! Last Soldier that fell in love with royalty had his head chopped off!" Grant stands up, not wanting to hear what his little sister has to say, Graseie follows him "you could lose everything! Maybe even be banished!" She keeps following her brother through the village. Villagers look at them, but they do not care, they think this is soldier drama. "I heard one guard impregnated a Princess before the Queen took the throne and had both that guard chopped and the baby was sent away to a different planet! Do you want to end up like that guard?" She asks grabbing Grants arm. Grant turns around and faces his sister. "I will take that sacrifice! What Princess Lucie did was wrong! Darcy is different than her Grandmother! She is nothing like her ancestors! And speaking of ancestors, how would they even be able to marry if they cannot be related?" He asks his sister for royalty logic. Graseie thinks but doesn't have an answer. Grant storms off, Graseie follows. Swordsgirl Graseie loves her brother, but she does not want to see him get hurt.
Cut to the Castle
Leo Kingdom - Leo Castle - Training Room
Darcy swings her practice sword at the dummies. She stares down at every single one of them, thinking about what Grant had said. She tries to picture them like Grant, but every time she tries to strike, she is unable to touch them with her blade. Darcy is unable to picture Grant because every time she does, her heart trembles. Marvo, her caretaker, peaks inside of the room watching her. He notices how much better she has gotten with self defense, but her thoughts are scattered all over the place. Marvo notices something is wrong with Darcy. Darcy takes a gun and shoots the laser by the doorway. Marvo jumps, feeling frightened. "I can sense you Marvo, your presence does not scare me!" Marvo opens the door, he goes inside "Princess Darcy, your senses are getting better. Not even your parents could be brave like you!" Darcy points the sword towards Marvo, Marvo gets scared, he puts his hands up. Darcy looks at the dummy, she strikes it, slicing the figure in half. Marvo sweats so hard, he feels that he may faint. The caretaker stands, trying not to fall down. Darcy sets her sword down, she faces the dummy "i can picture you Marvo, but not the person that is making me mess up!" She thinks about Grant as she says this. "Why? Why can't I strike him down? I try to think about it, but my legs feel like jello…." Marvo suspects something, but he is unsure if Darcy is feeling something about her trainer. "Princess, you are exhausted. You shouldn't overdo yourself…." Marvo says this, trying to keep Darcy under control. Darcy takes her laser and fires it towards the targets. The targets up in the air break. Darcy throws the gun on the ground, she is frustrated "why can't I do this with my sword?! I can fire, but I can't swing and fire!" Darcy yells. Marvo responds "take a breather and maybe you can do better." Darcy thinks about her trainer, she is hoping to impress Grant. Darcy only chose Grant because of her interest in him. Marvo sees something up with Darcy, he asks her "it's Grant. Isn't it?" Darcy faces away from Marvo after he says this. "I can get rid of him?" Marvo suggests. Darcy shakes her head no. Marvo is confused "so you're frustrated with Marvo, but you want to keep him here to make you feel more frustrated?" He asks her, tilting his head. Darcy is silent. Marvo approaches her "you know, you shouldn't let your feelings get to you. I only hired him because you offered. A Princess should never have feelings for her trainer." Princess Darcy storms out of the room, she locks herself in the storage room. Marvo turns the knob, it is locked. Marvo yells from outside of the room, "A Princess should never catch feelings unless it is for a Prince of another royal kingdom!" Darcy goes silent. "Do not give me the silent treatment! You chose him because of your feelings towards him. You're frustrated because you want to impress him, but you feel that you are not good enough for him" Marvo says to the locked up door. Darcy responds "how do you know?" She asks, trying to deny her feelings towards Grant. Marvo responds "because I know you. I know how you are! I know you have wanted to explore the galaxy since you were seven. I remember every single step you have taken in this world!" Marvo remembers everything about Darcy. The door opens, Darcy peaks out of the storage room. She pokes her head out and looks towards her caretaker. Marvo crosses his arms, he knows about her feelings towards Grant. "I only allowed you to train with Grant for the purpose of your self defense" he says to her.
Leo Kingdom - Training Area
Grant watches the soldiers train, they do their regular exercises. They do swordplay that is similar to Kendo with a bit of Samurai skills in it. Graseie commands the group to move faster. She walks around eyeing each and every soldier. They all feel worn out. Grant looks at his sister, she goes up to him. Grant asks her "aren't you a bit harsh? They are doing their best?" feeling concerned about how she is acting like a drill sergeant. Graseie looks at her brother, she shows him a holographic article on her watch. "Grant, another planet has been blown up. Look at where it is located!" Graseie says to him. Grant looks at the article, he drops his jaw "no way? This.. this can't be?" he looks at the title and reads the article. The article says "Planet Vekar blown up by the Tenga Klan" showing the picture of a group of Beefy Tenga Warriors.
NOTE:The Tenga Klan is where the Tenga Warriors originated. They are different than the ones Rito gave to his sister Rita. Only by personality.
Grant is shocked, the planet Vekar is next door to their home planet. "That's not even far from Dusklin!" Grant says, feeling shocked "we get our shipment of gravy from there…." he says, starring up at the sky. Grant looks at his sister "when did this happen? I should've known about this?" he asks, feeling concerned for the planet next door. Graseie responds "two days ago. They might be coming to us!" Grant is shocked, he is unable to speak.
A General, dressed up like a Shogun, goes over to Swordsman Grant. The General bows to him, "Sir Grant, you must come back." Swordsman Grant is surprised, he is unable to say anything. Grant finally speaks up "G-General, General Clark…." he spits out the only words he can say. General Clark speaks to Grant "Sir Grant, your leadership and skills are what we need to defend this planet! This could be your last chance to help us! Please Grant, you're the most skilled out of all of us. We need you Grant!" The General begs Sir Grant for help. SwordsGirl Graseie looks at her brother, she is wondering how her brother is able to respond. Grant is unable to speak. He doesn't know what to do. If he should go back to help with the planet, or reveal his feelings for the Princess? Grant is in a pickle. General Clark speaks to Grant, in a demanding tone "Grant! Come to our station! We need you!" Clarks assistant speaks up "Grant, we've took care of you and Graseie since you two were children. Even after your father sacrificed himself for you two. Do not let your duties down!"
Grant walks past General Clark and his two assistants. He faces the castle ahead of him "Your right, I shouldn't let my duties down!" he looks at his sister and looks back to the castle "but my duties are with the Princess!" He grabs his heart and faces the castle. Grant dashes towards the kingdom, he runs towards the Castle. Grant runs and runs while General Clark yells "you're making a big mistake! Grant. Grant!" Swordsman Grant ignores his General, he goes to where his heart is leading him.
Leo Kingdom - Leo Castle - Darcys Room
Princess Darcy has her heart on Grant, she tries to take Marvos advice but is unable too. Dracy gazes outside of her window. She hears the sound of Grant yelling her name, thinking that her mind is playing tricks on her. The sound grows louder, she is wondering why her mind is acting this way. But it is not her mind playing tricks on her, it is actually the sound of Grant calling her name. Dracy looks out of the window to see Grant calling out her name. Dracy yells "Grant!" she is excited to hear his voice. Dracy dashes out of her room and heads downstairs.

Both Swordsman Grant and Princess Darcy embrace their feelings towards each other. "Let's runaway and never come back here!" Grant says to her. Princess Darcy responds "now?" Grant nods. They look to see a person walk out of his car. Grant and Darcy dash straight towards the car and get inside, they drive off while ignoring the man yelling "hey!"

Telegator is touched, he doesn't know if he should cry tears of joy or not. He then gets curious "wait, if that is your ending how did you two end up like this?" the gator asks, wondering about their armor.

Dusklin Desert - Secret Lair
Grant and Darcy settle into their secret lair, they are underground thinking about their future until they feel something from above. "That can't be an Dusklinquake?"
NOTE: A "Dusklinquake" in this case, is known as an Earthquake.
Grant turns on the TV, changes the channel to surveillance. Outside of the lair, shows a group of Beefy Tenga Warriors. They are battling a few soldiers from the Gopher Kingdom. The last remaining few get knocked out. The Beefy Tengas caw with victory, until the Soldiers of Leo Kingdom march over. In view it is Graseie, leading the army. Graseie yells "For Leo!" they all dash towards the Tengas, clashing their swords. Grant looks to see his sister is stronger than ever, he is however worried for her.
NOTE: The Tenga Warriors are different than the Tenga Warriors we see in MMPR Season 3. They are a lot Beefier than the ones we saw in the series.
The battle goes on, one by one each Leo Soldier and Tenga fall down. Graseie takes the upper hand, she drives through each and every one of the Tegna Warriors. Grant gets his gear on, Princess Darcy looks at her boyfriend "are you sure you wanna do this? The Leo Kingdom is still looking for us?" She asks, feeling concerned but worried for her lover. Grant looks at Darcy, he says, "Don't worry, I'll be right back. I'll be sure to get back safely" Grant gives Darcy a kiss. He heads out of the room. While heading out, Darcy sees a Lavender Cloak with the sleeves cut off and a hood that resembles a Tenga Warrior, he comes out of the dust getting ready to battle Graseie. Darcy gasps, she realizes that both Graseie and Grant are both in danger.
Dusklin Desert
Graseie slices down the Beefy Tenga, she smirks at the fallen soldiers "they're not so tough" she says, feeling proud of herself. The hooded figure takes out his sword, Graseie sees the figure and keeps her guard up. They both raise their swords. The surviving soldiers all look at Graseie, they all get ready to back her up. The hooded figure runs, he slices the remaining Leo Soldiers of the Leo Kingdom. Graseie is shocked, she has no idea what she got herself into. The hooded figure glares at her with his glowing green eyes. Graseie and the Hooded figure battle. Clashing sword by sword, the blades hit each other with full power. The Hooded Figure keeps fighting, but Graseie has the upper hand. She kicks the figure and stabs it in the leg. The figure falls down on the ground. Graseie keeps her guard up, she holds her sword getting ready to slash.
Behind a few giant rocks, a bulky hooded figure rises out from its hiding place. It takes out its gun and aims towards Graseie. It finds a clear shot, firing Graseie in the back. Graseie is caught off guard, taking the hit, she falls. She is unable to stand up, taking the pain in back. The Bulky figure fires towards Graseies right leg, then her head. Graseie is hit in the head, but only on the tip of her skull, missing her brain. The Hooded figure stands back up, limping in pain. The figure points its gun at Graseie, getting ready to fire. Graseie uses her left leg and kicks the figure in the same leg she stabbed him, the figure kneels down in pain. The other hooded figure snaps his fingers, more Beefy Tengas come out of their hiding places, they fire their machine guns towards Graseie.
Grant comes over, but he is too late. He watches from a far distance, his sister getting shot up. Grant yells "Nooooo!" Crying in agony. The Limping Hooded Figure turns to see Grant, he signals the other Hooded Figure and their Henchmen back. He charges, with a bad leg, towards Grant. Grant and the Limping Figure battle clashing sword to sword. The Beefy Tengas come over to back up the Limping Figure. Grant is surrounded by the Tengas. The Limping Figure slashes towards Grant. Every Tenga Warrior hits Grant with their Single Ball Flails. Grant keeps battling, but is outnumbered. He manages to hit two Tengas but it is not enough. Grant falls down. The Limping Hooded Figure snickers towards Grant. Grant tries to look through the hood, but all he can see is an emerald in his forehead. Grant passes out.
Moments Go By, Grant struggles to wake up. He hears a familiar voice say his name. He hears "Grant!" Swordsman Grant pops his eyes open.
Dusklin Desert - Secret Lair

Grant looks to see his sister, she is unable to move. Grant is unable to speak, Darcy answers his question "yes. I'm sorry" she says to her boyfriend, feeling bad. "I tried to help get her back, but I lost her," Darcy says, tearing up. Grant is sad and angry. He gets out of his bed. Darcy tries to stop him "honey, you need rest!" Grant turns towards Darcy, he has rage in his eyes "no, this is personal!" He yells, grabbing his sword. "But you can't! You don't know where they are going?" Darcy begs him not to go. Grant looks at her "they're heading towards your kingdom!" He yells at Darcy. Darcy stops, she is frozen with fear "you…. you don't know that…." She refuses to believe him. Grant stares at his girlfriend "they were protecting your kingdom. That is where they are heading. You can either come back with me or don't go at all!" Grant turns towards the exit. He says "I'll take my chances, taking down my sister is personal!" Grant leaves the cavern. Darcy stands there, trying to decide if she should go back or not.

You're safe now" he says, trying to calm her down. Darcy tries to look, but all she can see is a bright light. She asks furiously "who are you? And where am I?" struggling to get out. Grande Morevil moves the stretcher to face him. Darcy sees a gray scaly man covering a skull, his eyes glow green. "My name is Grande Morevil, I was exploring the planet until I saw the two of you barely breathing" he says, introducing himself to Darcy. Darcy's eyes open wide, she asks "Wh-who? Whoelse is breathing?!" she asks, curiously. She is wanting to storm out of the stretcher. Grande Morevil says to her "Telegator is making the final adjustments on him…" Darcy is feeling more curious "Let me out, let me out!" She struggles to get free.

Metallic Grant explains this to Telegator about his first time being who he is today "I remember waking up, I saw this lady covered in parts. She spoke to me and for an instant, I knew she sounded familiar. I knew that it was-" there is a short pause, Telegator finishes Grant's sentence "It was Lady Darcine. Or I should say, Darcy" he says, feeling a short pain in his head. "Are you alright?" Grant asks his servant. Telegator nods "I am, just having some headaches" he says, resting his head on his hand. Grant says to the gator "you better get some rest. You got to help take down the Power Rangers. I don't want you battling them in this condition" Grant says, caring for his teammate. Telegator is blown away, Grant never felt any emotion towards him, at least not in his history.
There is an announcement on the loudspeaker, it is Grande Morevil. "Where are you guys! I need you to help take down these Power Rangers, NOW!" Grande Morevil yells angrily into the microphone. Metallic Grant gets up, he adjusts himself and wipes the sweat off of him. "I better get to the boss. He didn't revive me for nothing!" He is about to head out of the door, until he stops. Grant looks at Telegator, he says "take a rest. Thank you for listening in on my story" he smiles at the Gator and leaves.

Telegator steps inside, he turns on a switch, it reveals a room with a huge cloak hanging on the wall. There are pictures of three cloaked figures just like the ones Metallic Grant and Lady Darcine told in their story. Telegator looks to see an alligator that looks similar to him, but without the old fashioned telephone on his head. Telegator is confused, his head pounds harder and harder. He lies down on the ground in massive pain!
