A whole day had followed from the Wild Fury Rangers' discovery of Project: Contamination's true goal, and the Arrowhead was now moving into position to prepare for the plan. "We have to move fast.", Archris stated. "The Power Rangers of Earth will be coming out in force to prevent the destruction of their precious Earth."

"Which is why I've modified the Sentinels.", Ignoblia explained. "They'll lock onto any incoming sources of positive Morphin' Grid energy entering city limits. Then they'll teleport to intercept the newcomers and eliminate them."

"Good work, Ignoblia.", Centitrax laughed. "It's nice to see that the last of Archris's lackeys still has some use."

"How dare you!", Ignoblia hissed at him. "I am more than a mere lackey."

"Thats right.", Archris stated. "You are the last member of my army, now that Centitrax here has chosen to become a freelancer. It falls to you to supervise the Sentinels in keeping every Ranger at bay, while I prepare to fire the antimatter energy into Earth's core. This is your last and most important command from me."

"Don't worry.", Ignoblia nodded. "Nothing will get in the way of your plans, Master." She then approached the teleport pads.

Down on Earth, Trunks was monitoring the Ranger network. "We're getting messages from multiple Ranger teams.", he told the others. "All saying that they've read our message and will try to get here as fast as they can."

"So what do we do now?", Tora asked. "Do we let the veterans handle this?"

"No.", Jeremy insisted. "The Legendary Rangers are only here to help lighten our load. We'll need to take the battle to Archris by destroying him and his ship."

"We can get up there easy.", Luke spoke up. "My Hunter Megazord has the ability to travel through space. And since I've been on the Arrowhead before, I can show you to the control room where Archris and co reside."

But before any further discussion or planning could be made, an alert sounded on the computer, before the screen displayed the face of Grid Battleforce's Commander Anika Shaw. "Rangers, we regret to inform you that robots have started appearing as we approach the city to aid you in your fight to save the world." She then showed video of the Beast Morphers Rangers doing battles with the robots.

"Those look like…", Marina gasped with shock. "Destructoids."

"I guess Archris isn't messing around with this plan.", Lenny commented, as the footage showed other Rangers teams battling the robots.

"Unfortunately, we cannot estimate how long it will take to get past these robots.", Shaw's message continued. "I'm afraid that you're on your own for now." The message then ended.

"Okay, new plan.", Johnny spoke up. "We can't just all go up there. If we do, it'll leave Savannah City defenceless for Archris to initiate his plan."

"You and Luke head up there.", Trunks suggested. "You're the most powerful among us, so you stand a better chance of taking down Archris and Centitrax. If he even can be taken down."

"While I lead the others in clearing the city of those robots.", Jeremy declared. But then he clutched his chest in pain.

"No, Jeremy.", Tora pleaded. You're hurt. Who knows what could happen to you if you keep fighting?"

"I'll be fine.", Jeremy insisted. "And besides, this is a very clear 'all hands on deck' scenario. You need me."

Johnny sighed. "Much as I hate to admit it, he's right. And besides, we already had Grandma and Stevie evacuated with Sir. Caesar, so we don't have much of an option left for Jeremy."

Jeremy smiled. "So let's not best around the bush. Shake a tail feather. It's Morphin' Time!"

"Okay." Everyone then took out their Morphers. "Primal Spirits, Awaken!"

Luke then did his pose separately. "Predator Spirits, Awaken!"

In a few seconds, everyone had finished morphing and Johnny then took out the Whale Morpher, powering up. "Primal Evolution!" After the transformation was complete, he turned to Luke. "Let's go."

"Right.", Luke nodded as the two headed off, while everyone else also moved out. "Cyber Cubezords, rollout!"

Outside, Luke and Johnny put together the former's Megazord. "Hunter Megazord, ready!"

The robot then set off flying into space. "Alright, they're doing their part.", Jeremy said to the others. "Now let's do ours."

"Right.", the others pumped their fists, before everyone departed.

A few minutes later, the Rangers arrived in town, where Ignoblia was waiting with an army of Sentinels. "Ah, how nice to see that you've deigned to show up.", the villainess said. "It would be disappointing if you simply rolled over and died as we destroyed this planet."

"You really think we're going to forsake the home of our ancestors?", Trunks asked. "Well then, you and your army of Destructoids have another thing coming."

"Oh, these are much better than mere Destructoids.", Ignoblia told him. "My Sentinels are the ultimate in eliminating Power Rangers. Those you sent out to for help are being held at bay as they try to enter this city. And I will eliminate you with my group."

"That's a bold statement.", Marina stated. "Why do you think that these hunks of metal will do any better?"

"Two reasons.", was Ignoblia's answer. "One, I will be controlling them directly to destroy you. And two, you are all on your own, and two members down, what chance do you have against me?"

As if on cue, another group of people teleported in, consisting of three women - one white, one Hispanic, one Asian - and three men - one Asian, one Hispanic, one black. "I guess you forgot about one thing.", the first of the three women commented. "It's Morphin' Time!"

Everyone in that group took out a glass sphere. "Cosmic Orb!" They then threw them into a wrist-mounted device shaped like a T-Rex head. "Ready!" They then flipped a cover shut. "Link to Morphin' Grid!" After a series of acrobatic manoeuvres, the 6 were now transformed into a different set of Rangers, with dinosaur themed helmets on top of what seemed to be regular superhero costumes.

"Ankylo Fury, Read Ranger!"

"Tricera Fury, Blue Ranger!"

"Raptor Fury, Green Ranger!"

"Stego Fury, Black Ranger!"

"Mosa Fury, Gold Ranger!"

"Solon Fury, Orange Ranger!"

The 6 then did a pose. "Cosmic Fury Power!"

The Wild Fury Rangers were left with a mix of awe and confusion. "Wait, so they're named Cosmic Fury, but they're themed after dinosaurs rather than anything space themed?", Trunks questioned. "Weird."

"It's sort of a holdover.", the Red among them explained. "We used to be themed purely around dinosaurs."

"You could be themed after rodents for all I care.", Ignoblia fumed, as she took out her laser nunchaku. "You'll perish all the same."

A fight then broke out, with the Rangers pairing off to do battle. Tora ended up pairing with their Red Ranger. "I'm Amelia.", the other girl introduced herself as she smashed one of the Sentinels with her hammer.

"Tora.", the Tiger Ranger responded as she leapt over her new ally's shoulder to fire on more Sentinels, sending them reeling. "I have to say, it's nice and surprising to see a female Ranger in a leadership position. Not being able to see colours, I assume you're Red."

"It's a recent promotion.", Amelia admitted as she threw her hammer to smash more of the robots. "And not one I was really hoping for."

Tora then summoned the Zebra Baton and used it to knock some Sentinels that had just teleported in apart. "I have to say, you seem to be doing a bang up job."

Nearby, Marina had teamed up with the other Blue Ranger, Ollie. He was firing on the Sentinels, but they were teleporting out of his shots. "They just won't stay still.", he fumed.

"Allow me to handle that.", Marina said as she brought out a weapon. "Penguin Blaster!" She sprayed the Sentinels that were facing the pair, turning them into a massive block of ice. She then brought out her Primal Saber. "Now we can finish them off." She then delivered a powered slash to smash a few to pieces.

"I-I would've come up with the same solution.", Ollie insisted, as he ran in to smash the rest of the frozen robots.

Jeremy had teamed with the other team's Orange, Fern. "And I thought I was unique among all the Rangers.", Fern commented as she used her scythe weapon to cut a Sentinel in three. "At least I've got a unique dinosaur."

"I admit, I'm not that original in terms of motif or colour.", Jeremy said as he threw his Chain Saber, wrapping it around the arms of one of the robots. "But I do have a unique move." He then pulled the sword back, severing the arm of the robot. He then wrapped it around the body of the same robot. "Raptor Ravaging Returns!" He pulled it back again, destroying the robot.

"Nice trick.", Fern nodded, before detaching the blades of her scythe and sending them forward attached to a pair of rope, which wrapped around a robot. "I hope I've got this down." She pulled back, but the robot was scratched all over, rather than fully broken. "Uh oh."

"Not bad.", Jeremy said as he leapt forward to slash the robot in two. "You've got some potential. I could teach you."

Trunks had teamed up with the other green, a girl named Izzy. "Hang back, rookie.", she said condescendingly. "I'll show you how it's done."

She ran forward and tried slashing at a Sentinel, only for it to teleport out of the way, and appear behind her, blasting her back. "I guess the 'it' you were showing off was how to lose badly?", Trunks asked, as he summoned the Owlerang. "Don't worry, I'll show you how to win." He threw the weapon at the Sentinel, which teleported out of the way again, before reappearing closer to him. The Owlerang then retuned and damaged the robot to the point of exploding. "And that's how it's done, Grandma. Want me to fetch your dentures and cane?"

"Very funny.", Izzy sighed, as she pulled herself up. "How about we see just how many of these things we can destroy." She rna in and began slashing through the Sentinels.

Trunks sighed. "I'll never understand humans." He then pulled out his Primal Blaster and started firing.

Finally, Lenny had teamed up with the remaining two, Javi and Aiyon, to battle Ignoblia directly. "I beat you once already, Jadana!", Aiyon declared. "And I'll do the same thing again." He then began to summon his weapon. "Mosa-!"

But Ignoblia ran over, using her laser nunchaku to knock his arm back, preventing him from completing the process. "Unlike my genetic doppelgänger, I wasn't bred for menial tasks." She then delivered a kick that knocked him back. "I am a warrior. One who will not stop until I get the job done." She then pointed and fired the laser part of her weapon at Lenny and Javi.

"She's tough.", Javi noted. "You could've told us that before."

"It wasn't exactly something that had time to come up." Lenny said in response.

"But regardless, I'm not gonna let her win!", Javi called out as he summoned his axe and ran forward, locking weapons with Ignoblia.

But it was then that the villainess took note of his asymmetrical right arm. "Your limb. It's… artificial."

Javi got pumped up by this, as he took her confusion as a chance to deliver some slashes to her with his axe, which she barely defended against. "Give me your compliments because I have a cool robot arm."

"No.", Ignoblia said as she finally recovered enough to shoot him back. "I'm actually… sorry. To see you in this state."

Up in space, the Hunter Megazord reached the Arrowhead. "Alright, now let's get in there.", Johnny called out, as he pumped the Whale Morpher three times. "Super Primal Blow!"

He fired a shot at the hull of the ship, creating a hole through which he and Luke were able to enter. "We have intruders.", a Centitrax reported. "Red and Chimera just infiltrated the ship."

"They're too late.", Archris declared. "In a few moments, their planet will be done for. Launch the needle."

{==Affirmative.==}, the computer announced. {==Initiating needle injection==} The actual arrow portion of the Arrowhead detached and was fired at the Earth.

Down in Savannah City, the fighting was interrupted as the needle made its impact, landing in the centre of the city and causing explosions in surrounding areas. "Only a little time remains for you to stop Archris's intentions.", Ignoblia stated.

"In that case, let's get on it.", Jeremy decided, as he took out his Neo-Wild Morpher, pressed the button and then selected all 10 numbered buttons. "Megazord override. Genesis Ultrazord, Ultimate Formation!"

The 5 Wild Fury Rangers held out their Cubezords. "Zords, combine!"

"Don't forget about us.", Amelia called out as the 6 Cosmic Fury Rangers leapt up to join them.

The 14 Cubezords had soon fully combined. "Genesis Ultrazord, ready!"

"But of a weird name for you guys.", Izzy pointed out as the Cosmic Fury Rangers also appeared in the cockpit, though they didn't get anything resembling the Primal Burst armour. "Aren't you guys all 'Primal whatever' in terms of naming?"

"Yes, but somebody had already taken the name 'Primal Ultrazord'.", Trunks muttered.

"Besides, Genesis refers to the creation of everything, and the Whale Zord is all about creation.", Ollie pointed out.

"Exactly.", Marina nodded. "Our name still fits."

As the Ultrazord moved to stop the needle, jumping up to attack the cable with the Mole Arm, Ignoblia took out several gold coin, throwing them into the remaining Sentinels. "I can't allow these efforts to be wasted." She then took one out and devoured half of it, knowing that without its full power, the coin would only make her a giant temporarily. "Attack!" She and the Sentinels then unleashed their lasers onto the Ultrazord, causing it to fall to Earth.

"Hold on everybody.", Jeremy urged as everyone was thrashing about. As the controller, he was able to steer the Ultrazord to land on its own two feet, before turning around to be greeted by a kick from Ignoblia. She then followed up with some seings from her nunchaku. "I guess she really must be desperate to grow herself."

"Not desperate.", Ignoblia said in response. "Just determined." She continued swinging her laser nunchaku into the Ultrazord, to little effect.

"But why?", Tora asked. "Surely you can see that what Archris is planning is evil. Can you really live with the deaths of all these innocent lives?"

"No animals are innocent!", Ignoblia yelled back. Then she was knocked back into a Sentinel by a punch. "Attack, you foolish hunk of metal." The Sentinel approached, but was destroyed in one hit by the Mole Arm. When more attacked, it split into its individual components, before reengaging and destroying the robots with a flurry of lasers. The destruction of the last Sentinel sent Ignoblia, stood right next to it, flying across the city.

"Now let's get back to trying to cut the cable.", Trunks urged as the Ultrazord once more leapt up to attack with the Mole arm, this time with the Bear and Bat Zords detaching to help in the attack.

Up in the Arrowhead's control room, Johnny and Luke burst in. "Ah, welcome to my house, Rangers.", Archris said as he stood up. "If I'd known you were coming, I'd have cleaned up the place."

"Save the small talk, Archris.", Luke snapped. "Now that I'm back here, it's time I took revenge for what you did to me!" He then transformed into Alligator Mode and ran forward to attack.

But Centitrax stepped into the way to block him. "First, you'll have to get by me." The two then engaged in battle, as Archris folded out his wings, deployed his arm blades and confronted Johnny.

"You might have a chance of ending me here and now.", Archris told Johnny, as he knocked back the latter's whip attack. "But the cable your friends seek to snap is indestructible. Your planet is doomed."

"Not yet, it isn't.", Johnny insisted as he changed into his Gorilla Mode and ran forward, beginning to throw punches at Archris, knocking him into his throne with enough force to break it. He then initiated the call function on his Morpher. "Guys, you can't break the cable. You'll have to try pulling on it." But he was prevented from saying anything more by a sudden need to dodge attacks from Archris's energy blades.

Down on Earth, the Rangers had received the message. "Does he want us to pull that metal thing out of the ground?", Aiyon asked.

"No.", Trunks said to dissuade him of the notion. "If we do that, then magma might come up from the Earth and destroy everything. Now, we've got to pull at the ship and bring it down to Earth."

"Works for me.", Lenny nodded. "Let's do it."

From the ground, Ignoblia saw the Ultrazord begin to pull on the cable, rather than smash it. "They're wising up.", she thought to herself. "But let's not make things too easy." She then leapt up to attack them again.

But Jeremy was swiftly able to turn them around, inserting his Morpher into the control weapon. "Genesis Creation Burst!"

Ignoblia was hit by a weakened version of the Ultrazord's strongest attack, falling down to Earth. "So this is the end of it all.", she said as her body was consumed by an explosion.

The Ultrazord continued to pull on the cable. "We're almost there.", Javi insisted. "Just… a little more!"

"We might need a bit more than Primal Power.", Marina pointed out.

"Then let's add in our own Cosmic Power.", Fern insisted, as she started glowing with an energy aura.

"Right.", Amelia nodded, as all 6 of her team were surrounded by similar auras. "Cosmic Power!"

The Wild Firy Rangers then began to similarly glow. "Primal Power!"

"Full Power!" The Ultrazord, now glowing, was able to pull down on the cable with ease, bringing the Arrowhead out of orbit.

And onboard said ship, its inhabitants were sent reeling. "What have you done?", Archris growled as he held onto Johnny for dear life. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

{==Warning! Warning! Orbital position compromised. Impact with planet imminent! Operation: Contamination no longer possible.==}

"What have we done?", Johnny repeated. "We've reached the top of the food chain by dethroning our predator. You."

The Arrowhead was thrown into the mountains, sending out shockwaves so powerful they destroyed the cable and the needle, putting an end to the threat of the planet's destruction. "We did it!", Lenny cried out triumphantly. "We won."

"But what about Johnny and Luke?", Marina pointed out. "What happened to them?"

Sometime later, the 11 Rangers made their way to the wreckage of the Arrowhead. "Johnny! Luke!", Jeremy started calling out.

"Are you guys alright?", Marina followed up.

"If you're not, don't answer.", Tora proceeded to announce, to everyone's annoyance. "Hey, you never know what could've happened to them."

"Don't arrange a funeral just yet." Everyone turned around to see the two missing Rangers push the rubble off of themselves and revert to their base forms. "As you can see…"

"You're alive!", Trunks cried out in glee as he and Marina ran forward to hug Luke and Johnny respectively. He then composed himself. "Sorry, I don't know what came over me."

"That's okay.", Luke assured him. "You thought I went down with the ship rather than use Centitrax as a shield."

"He's a very big guy.", Johnny added. "Protected both of us from the worst of it." He then took note of their guest stars, in particular the Red. "You must be Amelia.", he said as he went in for a handshake. "Your fisher told us a little about you during his visit."

"Yeah, he mentioned you guys too when he came back.", Amelia responded as she reciprocated the handshake. "I'm glad we were able to help you defeat Archris and save the Earth."

"Right.", Tora commented, as she realised the implications of that statement. "It's over."

"Not… Over!" Everyone was then blown backwards by an explosion, as Archris emerged from the smoke. "Never… OVER!"

"Give it up, Archris.", Johnny stated. "You don't have a ship, all your Hunters are dead and your Sentinels are lawn sculptures."

"Face it, you're finished!", Lenny pointed out.

"You're right.", Archris stated. "But that just means I need to start over. Which I'll do by eliminating you Rangers."

"Wait a minute!", Johnny blurted out, as the Rangers were all about to charge in."

"Bro, what's your problem?", Aiyon asked. "We were just about to toast this creep for good."

"My Eagle eyes.", Johnny answered. "I can see his body… Archris is… made entirely out of Bacteri."

Everyone was shocked by this. Even Archris. "What deception is this?", he demanded to know. "You won't succeed merely by lying to me."

"I-I don't think he's lying.", Amelia said as she used her mind reading abilities to see inside Johnny's mind. "Oh my… there's hundreds of Bacteri. They're all clumped together."

"How?", Archris yelled. "How could that be possible?"

"I'll tell you." Everyone turned around to see Ignoblia, still alive, limping in. "Several years ago, I discovered the Bacteri, a microscopic life form that could be converted into the form of coins that allowed them to materialise as human sized warriors. But in order to mature them for the process, they required a vessel in which to procreate. Preferably, a deceased one that they could then reanimate."

"What are you babbling about now, Ignoblia?", Archris asked. "I have lived for hundreds of years. I survived Floriana in battle…"

"Ah, that's not technically true.", Ignoblia interrupted him. "You died against Floriana. I revived you with the Bacteri as the procreation environment for the creatures. Their influence also made your violent sadism far less prominent, making you more passive. It's unfortunately come back twice, the first of which I was able to reprogram you from with the excuse of exertion from your then-recent battle with the Rangers. But I couldn't do this a second time, because Keldor was starting to get suspicious of me, and I in turn of him. Our mutual obsession made it difficult to for me to attend to the matter."

Archris had allowed the full weight of Ignoblia's words to sink in. "You treacherous hag. You used me as a puppet all along, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?" He then tried charging, but she then pulled out a remote and pressed on a button, freezing him in place. "I can't move!"

"Because I disabled your motor functions.", Ignoblia explained. "And by the way, your survival wasn't the only aspect of your battle with Floriana's outcome I lied about."

All the Rangers were confused. "What's she talking about?", Javi asked.

"No wait.", Luke spoke up. "A while ago, when Keldor took me prisoner, Ignoblia was locked away with me. But we escaped when she had me take out a DNA Cloak from her mouth and turned into some kind of plant creature."

"What are you saying?", Ollie asked.

"Think about it.", Trunks pointed out. "The name 'Floriana', as in 'flora': flowers and plants."

"It's nice to see My Dear Chimera is helping you catch on.", the creature who called herself "Ignoblia" turned to the Rangers. "I think the time for subterfuge has long passed." She removed the DNA Cloak from her mouth and dropped it to the ground, before stepping on it and breaking it. Her form then shifted, with her black leather outfit bursting off to reveal vines that coalesced into a body, a collar made of petals soon grew out of her neck, while more petals covered up her face as the silver and green features melted away. Finally, a pair of yellow eyes burst out of her face. "I am Empress Floriana."

The 5 Animen were shocked by this. "First Centitrax and now Floriana?", Jeremy commented. "Are any of Cubalia's ancient enemies actually dead?"

"I won't allow myself to die.", Floriana announced. "Not until I succeed in my objectives of a brand new universe. But since you Wild Fury Rangers are a real thorn in my side, I'm going to fulfil my goal of destroying you and claiming your Cubezords so that you can't be replaced afterwards."

Johnny had a realisation. "You wanted the Cubezords all along. You're the Avatar of the Anti-Grid."

"And I should thank you for making me aware of that purpose.", Floriana nodded. "I won't end you personally. Archris, destroy them."

She then pressed another button on the controller, that seemed to destroy Archris's mind, as he then stated with no emotion "As you command." He deployed his arm blades and faced down the Rangers.

"So that's how you want to play it?", Johnny commented as he did his pose of brushing his hand against his face. "Bring it on!"

"Alright.", Jeremy announced as he stepped forward. "Let's-." He then collapsed barely standing up.

"We told you that you'd be pushing yourself too far.", Luke told him.

"Why don't you sit this one out.", Marina suggested. "We can take care of Archris."

"Right.", Jeremy said as he reverted to normal, collapsing dead away.

The 6 Rangers then proceeded to run into battle, while Floriana tried to walk away, only to find Amelia's hammer in her face, with the other Cosmic Fury Rangers brandishing their own weapons. "You think you can just sic your guard dog on one Ranger team and just run away?"

"Actually?", Floriana said in response, as she generated a golden blade from her arms. "Yes!" She then generated a wave of energy that the 6 Rangers ran through to charge at her.

Meanwhile, Archris did likewise with the Wild Fury Rangers. "Primal Mode, Unleash!" Everyone emerged from the explosion in their Primal Modes, with Johnny leaping in and getting swatted down by Archris, who then engaged the other Rangers in hand to hand.

"Tora, move out the way!", Lenny called as he ran in to take a hit from Archris that knocked him down.

Trunks was the next to attack. "Rock Quaker!" But Archris used his blades to stop the shockwaves of this attack and send it back at Trunks, knocking him and everyone between him and Archris down.

Marina went next. "Tidal Impact!" But she only made contact with him for a few seconds, before he slashed her back.

"You fools!", Archris stated as he was engaged by Lenny and Tora. He weathered their combined attack before knocking them attack. "None of you can challenge me."

"Maybe not, but we'll try.", Luke called out as he leapt in. His Alligator Arm made contact with one of Archris's blades, but he turned it back into an arm and grabbed the whip-like attachment.

"Creating you was one of my greatest mistakes.", Archris announced, as he threw Luke to the ground. "If it weren't for your meddling brother, you'd have been the perfect soldier." He then slashed at Johnny as he was continuing to beat down Luke. "Now I can deal with both of you." He then threw Luke at Johnny, downing the pair of brothers. The Rangers all regrouped as Archris stood opposite them. "I may be under Ignoblia's control, but that doesn't mean I've given up trying to kill you. It just gives me some enjoyment from this."

"You forget, you're using a copy of the Whale Zord's powers.", Johnny pointed out. The ground around them began to glow, with cubes of energy emerging. "I've used the real thing multiple times, made it a part of myself. And with the powers of Sky and sea within me as a result, all I need is the power of land." His body then began glowing with energy. "Super Primal Mode, Unleash!"

With the energy he now had, Johnny transformed into a fusion of his three Ranger forms, with the Eagle Ranger's helmet and legs, the Gorilla Ranger's build and the Whale Ranger's Morpher and jacket. He also bore all three emblems on his chest. "Guardian of the Earth, Wild Fury Red Ranger!"

"Oh, so that's what 'red' is.", Lenny commented as he beheld his leader's new form.

"Amazing.", Tora added.

Johnny then stepped towards Archris, who seemed terrified. "No, this can't be…!", the evil overlord gasped.

"Oh but it can.", Johnny declared as he beat his chest, before leaping into the air. Archris subsequently took the same course of action, leaping into the air to take the fight to the skies. Johnny used his Chain Saber to slash at Archris multiple times, but Archris stopped him from pulling the alien down to Earth, and blasted him with laser beams. "Time to submerge." He merged into the rock like it was water, poking his Whale Morpher outwards and firing, sending Archris reeling. "Super Final Blow!" After firing this shot, Johnny leapt out of the Earth to deliver a powerful punch to Archris, sending him crashing to the ground, where the beam hit him.

Archris recovered from the shot, as Johnny landed. "Not bad.", he wheezed. "You actually hurt me."

The other Rangers then ran to Johnny. "Alright, time for us to go full power."

"Right.", the others nodded as they assumed their Primal Modes once more, while Johnny pumped the Whale Morpher 6 times. Their energies then flowed into the Whale Morpher. "Final Primal Crash!"

The blast took the shape of a colour changing beam that collided with Archris. "No! NOOOO!", the evil alien cried out as his body was pulled apart. "This will not be the end…" But his body was torn apart by the blast, with the data core he used to power himself up likewise disintegrating, to indicate that it was.

Following the explosion, Johnny reverted to normal, as a pile of coins, both silver and gold, fell to the floor. "Is it over?"

"For Archris, I'd say yes.", Marina answered him. "We've done it."

"A few days ago, I'd have agreed with you.", Trunks nodded. "But we still have one threat left to deal with."

The Cosmic Fury Rangers combined their weapons. "Cosmic Blaster!" They then pointed the large Bazooka like weapon at Floriana.

"I hope you don't mind us flaming you.", Izzy commented as the weapon charged up.

"Unleash the Fury!" With this command, the Rangers unleashed a blast at their opponent.

However, Floriana merely used her sword to cut through the blast, creating two smaller explosions besides her. "Nice trick. I think I'll borrow it." She then generated a gun-like weapon from her arm, firing seed-like projectiles at the Rangers to knock them back and undo their morphs. "You'll need more power than that to vanquish me."

"Why don't you just give it up?", Ollie asked. "Archris and his ship are gone. You can't perform Operation: Contamination anymore."

"Oh, Operation: Contamiantion was never my endgame.", Floriana announced as she walked towards the edge of the quarry. "In fact, I'm about to recover the second item I need to initiate my true ultimate goal."

Javi then stood up and tried to throw a punch with his mechanical arm. "Yeah? And what's that?"

"You!" As Javi was left shocked by this response, Floriana pulled off his mechanical arm, crushing it into circuit boards between her vines. She then shot out more vines that wrapped into a cocoon around Javi's body, muffling any cries for help he could make.

"Javi, no!", Izzy cried out, before leaping up and grabbing onto Floriana's leg. "Let him go, you weed."

Floriana seemed to be exceptionally angry at this gesture. "GET YOUR FILTHY ANIMAL PAWS OFF ME!" She then backhanded Izzy to one side.

"Ignoblia!" Floriana then turned around to see the Wild Fury Rangers walking towards her. "Let's end this now.", Johnny insisted.

"Another dance, children?", Floriana asked sarcastically, before disassembling the vines making up her body, and reassembling them next to Archris's remains. "As much as I'd love to settle the matter of the Cubezords, I think I'll simply take what I need and make my exit." She removed 7 of the golden growth coins from the pile, before extending some vines to break through the rocks nearby and extracting Centitrax's Eternity Heart. "This is all you left me with to rebuild. But it's enough." She then teleported away with her acquisitions.

"No!", Luke cried out in frustration, before pounding the ground. "We were so close."

"There's few places she could be hiding.", Marina pointed out. "We'll get her eventually."

"Right.", Johnny nodded. "But right now, we should reconvene with those guys."

Sometime later, the 12 Rangers had returned to the zoo house, as had Rose, Sir Caesar and Metal Alice. Jeremy was placed on a table. "Analysis indicates that his injuries are a result of using the Whale Morpher, which depleted his body's energy.", Alice explained. "He should recover, given a day or two to rest."

"Until then, we're down one man.", Caesar summarised. "Which given the circumstances of Floriana's return, isn't the best news."

"We'll have to keep fighting with one man down.", Johnny stated. "Just as our Cosmic Fury friends will have to."

"Oh, we can handle being one man down.", Amelia assured him. "We lost our original leader while we were trying to end Bajillia's corporate goals for space. But at least we know you can get Javi back."

"Correction: We WIlL get Javi back.", Trunks insisted. "The Cubezords are the one thing that can oppose Floriana, which is why she went after them so fiercely. Which means that we can use their power to win."

"We're counting on you.", Izzy said as she and the others prepared to teleport out. "But right now, we should probably head back and mobilise for anything that might be thrown our way." With that said, the 6 Cosmic Fury Rangers teleported out.

It was at that moment that Grandma Rose returned with a tea tray, that had seven cups and a pot on it. "Oh, have they gone already?", she asked.

Elsewhere, in a secluded location, Floriana threw the Eternity Heart to the floor and held up the Cosmic Orb she had taken from Javi, using it to channel energy into the artefact and revive Centitrax. "Welcome back.", Floriana greeted him. "Looks like your Eternity Heart can absorb Grid energy. Though for how long…"

"Empress, you're still living?", Centitrax questioned. "But Archris…"

"Is no longer a concern.", Floriana informed him. "And once the man I hired arrives, we'll be able to put my true plan into full bloom. The Rangers won't be able to stop my universal harvest." She walked out to stare at the moon. "Tomorrow, a new era will dawn. One in which Floriana stands triumphant and reigns supreme."
