11. Chapter 105: Mighty Pack Rise Part 2

Before long, the heroes have returned to Adventure City and returned to the Ultra Rescue and Titan Adventure Towers to begin their search for Sarah and Magearna as well as the Three Super Baddies, unbeknownst about Zin and his return. Of course, as they had never been exposed to so much advanced technology of modern society, naturally, the Eight Queens, Marena, and the Vikings along with their dragons couldn't help but marvel at the advanced structure of both towers. Even the Ultra Rescue Rangers' predecessors and successors had never seen such buildings so top notch in terms of technology compared to what they had at Ocean Bluff, Coral Harbor, and Pine Ridge as they made their way to the Command Center in the Ultra Rescue Tower.

By this time, Sol, Rajhu, Nuraiah, Jhyali, Ashia and Zjhiben were with them, sensing their parents successor in danger and wanting to lend their assistance once more.

Once they're all able to squeeze inside via the front entrance or the Dragon Hangers, Nate set about using the tower's supercomputer to try and hone in on Sarah's GPS signal via her Wrist Com, hoping that the Super Baddies didn't find out about it or haven't destroyed it already.

"Okay, if I just reroute the computer's homing signal and link it to her Wrist Com, we should figure out where Sarah and Magearna were taken after they were captured," Nate theorized as he typed away.

"Let's hope they haven't been taken somewhere that's too far for us to track," Hayden replied as she and Jazz assisted him.

"You think those three would be stupid enough to not pick up on her Wrist Com should we accidentally trip the signal to communcate her from here?" Toothless inquired.

"No way; now that they've joined forces and they're vying for the same thing, they'll figure out what loopholes they missed out on their plan sooner or later including her Wrist Com," Stormfly rebutted.

"Find out where they are from her Wrist Com, guys?" Skiddo asked.

"We're searching from within a 1,000 ft radius from where we stand now, Sarah and Magearna and those Super Baddies must be around here somewhere," Jazz answered before they finally locked onto them.

After some time trying to lock onto Sarah's Wrist Com and pinpointing her and Magearna's current location with the hopes of them all rescuing them in time and dealing with Harold, the Ladybird, and the Copycat accordingly, they all turned their attention to the holographic table showing the global map before it zoomed in before a blinking red blimp marker showed the location of the last place anybody should be at in Adventure City.

"No way," gasped Ryder in realization.

"After everything we've gone through last time with Dr. Cawthorn and Humdinger, I'm not surprised," Chase commented, narrowing his eyes.

"Of course, the abandoned Animal Genetics Ultima complex," Commander Ryan frowned in disgust.

"I'll say, that building's due to be torn down next week and that section of town is where the most dangerous of gangs tend to dwell at the most in order to get away from the law. Those runts are a real headache for us to put down despite our best efforts and those of our entire crew to shut them down," Angel added, sharing her superior's sentiments.

"G-G-G-Gangs...?" gulped Fishlegs nervously just as the Three Fillies and the Dragonets started whimpering worriedly for Sarah.

"Shh, shh, shh... It's okay, we'll find your mommy and your auntie," soothed Fluttershy as she gently hugged and rubbed each of them.

"I can't believe Humdinger's nephew along with the Copycat and the Ladybird are going so far as to get their revenge on us on a number of levels by kidnapping Sarah and Magearna to prove a point," Rex sighed.

"The princess and I heard about the entire incident in Adventure City that resulted in Humdinger's imprisonment and I feel like it was a bridge too far for Harold," Sweetie put in.

"And, the Copycat's got a score to settle with me," Cadence agreed.

"Even one shiny thing from Sarah's enough for the Ladybird and her revenge ploy," Ella said.

"But, what if they have something of an ulterior motive and not just plain old revenge?" Kiawe theorized.

"I guess we'll need to confirm what they really want besides revenge if they want to put us down that badly," Ash sighed, knowing what's about to come.

"But, what I don't get is why they would even want to go there after the building was closed off and earmarked for demolition," Lillie pondered.

TAP, TAP, TAP

"Hey, what's that?" asked Shade, pointing towards something that was tapping and getting everyone's attention from their right.

"Somebody's at one of the windows."

"So, go see who's out there and make sure it's not a stranger fanboying or planning to ambush us, Featherbrain," Flurry and Storm bantered before the latter shoved the former to the window where the figure is tapping.

"It's a glowing white lion with a ponytail for a mane, it looked like a female Pyroar," the female hippogriff deducted.

"The princess' Patronus! Quick, let it in!" gasped Tsukumaro urgently, prompting Flurry to open the window and it darted inside before landing in front of everyone before it spoke to them in Sarah's voice.

"Guys, I don't know if you can hear me but if my Patronus found you, you'll know that we're in big trouble. If any of you remember, Dr. Zin, he's back and this time, he's joined forces with Harold, the Ladybird, and the Copycat given that we've trashed his Storm Bird Zord and took his only Pokemon from him. He found out about me and Magearna being captured and now, he's hoping to make a bargain with you should you come for me: to surrender your powers for our freedom and use them to claim my family's throne. What's worse, he plans to extract my data from me and sell it to the highest bidder whom I'm sure would use it for his/her own needs."

"DR. ZIN/DR. ZIN/DR. ZIN?!" the heroes sans the PAW Patrol gasped in shock and horror.

"That's very bad news and since he has you in his grasp, there's no way we'll contact Dr. Quest and his family let alone Intelligence One to help us out again," Sol remarked grimly.

"Here we go again..." groaned Astrid, not liking the idea of her and her friends dealing with Dr. Zin again.

"Why do I get the feeling that this rescue mission isn't going to be easy?" Zenna added in annoyance.

"Has anything been easy for us since our escapades began, buddy?" Hiccup retorted with a knowing yet joking smile.

"...Good point," Zenna shrugged in reply just as Talon, Hikari, Frostbite, and Chomper hissed over hearing about their former tormentor again.

"Zin's going to be sorry crossing paths with us and the kid again and we'll be sure to fix him for the Quest Team if he does pull one hair or bolt out of her and Magearna with the help of those Three Super Stooges," Mischief vowed darkly, his eyes narrowed.

"Wait! If the President, Commander Harris, and the government find out that Zin is back, there's going to be trouble! We'll be dragging the world into another war again!" cried Sokka in alarm and realization.

"We can fight our way out as usual!" Brawleon insisted.

"Against those clowns and the world's greatest supermind of evil, we won't have a chance if they already have a plan in mind. It'll be useless to charge at them blindly and hope we can take them by surprise," Helioseon rebutted.

"Given Harold's Technopathy and Zin's genius, who knows what crazy ideas they have to make and get what they want?" Aurora agreed.

"There's one thing that's still bugging me, though; how were the Ladybird and Harold able to get their powers back, anyway?" Zuma cut in, answering the million-dollar question they need the answer to.

"I've little time to explain but the Ladybird and Harold have these glowing badges on their suits and the Copycat somehow charged them up. I have a feeling you'll know what it is, PAW Patrol. I'm sorry I can't be of much help but, for now, it seems... It looks like you're on your own," the Patronus answered before it soon disappeared.

"Princess!" Tsukumaro cried, reaching out to the vanishing Patronus too late.

Tsukumaro gritted his teeth in frustration as he got down on his knees and pounded the ground, letting out small anguished grunts of self-loathing. All Doug and Delilah could do to comfort him was to put a hand on his shoulders from either side and soothe him, doing their best to remind him that their daughter is now a strong girl and she and Magearna can hold their own for a while until they all rescue them.

"Glowing badges, charged up by that tabby..." Qibli pondered as he recalled the Patronus' final words before turning to the PAW Patrol. "Ryder, Sir, you and your pups mentioned that meteor that gave you these 'Mighty Pup Powers' of yours, didn't you?"

"Yeah, it was right out of the blue that night when it came to Adventure Bay and it was also the source of Harold, the Copycat, and the Ladybird's powers when they came into contact with it. Harold first got his powers when he was exposed to its power along with us and the Ladybird stole it when she saw it glowing and when she touched it, it gave her powers, too," Ryder confirmed.

"What I don't get is how they end up getting them again each time you're needed for a Mighty Mission?" Arcia quizzed.

"Usually, it's when they find another piece of the meteor that fell when it crash-landed on Adventure Bay. It landed on the beach hard and it was breaking apart slightly in some places when it was on its way down so some of them might've ended up scattered back home," Chase answered.

"You know what Sarah's Patronus could be talking about, Qibli?" Skye asked the youngest of Thorn's children.

"Think about it; the Patronus told us that the Copycat was able to charge those badges Harold made to give him and the Ladybird their powers back, right? And, he was able to retain his without warning so if I have to hazard a guess, I'd say the Copycat found a piece of the meteor and kept it for himself. He probably hid it well since he never lost them while the kid and the bird lady had no luck on that end."

"Those badges must be giving Harold and the Ladybird their powers again!" Everest blinked in surprise.

"And, the Copycat charged them up himself via his piece of the meteor!" Cadence added as she and the PP's oldest pup caught on to what Qibli said.

"So, if we can take those two out, should they prove to be the weakest links in the chain between them, the Copycat, and Dr. Zin, we should have only Zin and the Copycat to deal with," Marshall deducted.

"Two would still be too many to deal with since they would prove to be a challenge as they had been beforehand and now," Rex reminded.

Before the heroes could continue to discuss their plan of attack against their foes coinciding with their rescue mission, the supercomputer alerted them about an email containing a video message, the group realizing who it would be coming from at this time.

"Dudes, it's a video message!" Zuma said.

"No way."

"You think it could come from Zin?" Ella and Tuck pondered.

"It has to, maybe he wants to have a chat given that he now has the princess and her Magearna to use as bargaining chips. Patch it through," Commander Ryan ordered, looking at Rotom-Dex, Nate, Hayden, and Jazz as the four of them nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Sir!" saluted Rotom-Dex as he went to the Supercomputer and he and the other three pulled up the video message and Zin appeared on it.

"Aha, good day, my friends!" Zin mocked.

"Dr. Zin!"

"Holy Meow-zas!"

"It's him again!"

"No way!" the Cat Pack cried in shock and alarm.

"Whoa..."

"Ay caramba..."

"Is that the famous Dr. Zin we were told about?" the main PAW Patrol Pups, Tracker, and Rex gasped.

"The very same, one we and the Quest Team all had the nasty displeasure of having a battle tango with. Am I right, Doc?" Liberty growled.

"Quite right, and speaking of your loved ones, you like my little surprise for you?" Zin smirked, showing Sarah and Magearna in their cell with the former's wrists and ankles shackled while being guarded by Meow-Meow.

"Sweetheart! Magearna!" Doug gasped in shock.

"**Mom!**"

"Princess, no!" Blitz and Tsukumaro cried in horror.

"This can't be!"

"Ponchita!" Nikki and James gawked in stunned disbelief.

"Wait a second, is that Meow-Meow with him?"

"And, how come she's in Tiger Form again?" Skye and Rocky puzzled in surprise.

"I think after Harold somehow smuggled her out of Mayor Humdinger's sight once he, the Copycat, and the Ladybird captured her and they met Dr. Zin, he made some improvements to her. Improvements that Humdinger probably never took into account to make her a threat again," Chase deducted, narrowing his eyes at the robotic cat guarding the trapped princess and Artificial Pokemon.

"What are you planning to do with our baby, you monster?" Delilah seethed with rage, glaring daggers at Dr. Zin.

"Since you all and your friends have no way of stopping me and my new crew this time without the Quest Team to bail you out unless you have a miracle, I will tell you, Your Majesties. It's the start of my new project in which your daughter will play a crucial role in my newfound path for ultimate power: Operation: DNA Streak, shall we say, involving the extraction and selling of her Lion Solgaleo DNA for riches and more to me."

"Extraction of her DNA and selling it?!" Donna (former queen) and David echoed, aghast.

"The old lab rat and black market scavenger routines," Teen Race clarified, his eyes narrowing dangerously at the mad scientist.

"Correct! I have some uses for the princess' unique DNA but unfortunately, since that amulet you've given her acted as a shield to keep anybody with a black heart from touching her, Your Highnesses, there was no way I could get even one finger or any tools I have on me to extract her DNA. But, once I somehow find a way to take even a piece of it from her, I will sell it to the highest bidder and with the riches and power I've achieved, I'll use my newfound wealth and leverage to power my way to your throne and claim it as my own."

"Very ingenious and only typical for a beast such as you, Zin. Congratulations," Commander Ryan snapped in response.

"Of course, the Twilight Amulet knows you're bound to do harm to our baby, you bastard. You and those kids with you won't find it easy to remove since we've taken extra precautions to ensure that our little girl is off and out of harm's way at any and all costs," Doug retorted.

"No, it won't be but as with all sentient beings of any and all sorts, it does have its limits and it's only a matter of time before you would do our bidding if you don't want her and her robot to suffer more than they already had. And, with the new and improved Three Super Stooges having upped their game for this occasion, nothing can stop us unless you comply with my demands for their salvation."

"You mean, have our friends surrender their powers to the likes of you? Ha, not a chance!" Stoick spat in defiance.

"You, laddie, must have mad rocks for a brain if you're looking to trade the lass' life and her robotic protector for the children and the puppies' fighting prowess and all of Alola," Gobber added in defiant agreement as both he and Stoick glared at Zin.

"I assure you, I'm being as reasonable as I can be given the situation you're in, especially given how hypocritical you and your people once were given what I've looked into once you've made household names of yourselves."

"If you're willing to play that game, you moron, we'll play. Just don't hurt them."

"Yeah, Einstein, what's the catch? We're already stuck between a rock and a hard place right now with you and the PAW Patrol's baddies, anyway," Hiccup and Astrid replied, not wanting Gobber and Stoick to get into a heated argument with Zin and make things worse than they already are.

"Just as I told you prior, my friends; all I want from you is your friends' powers and the girl's family's throne in exchange for the princess herself and her Magearna," Zin complied again, still patiently waiting for an answer.

"Guess again, Mad Brainiac. If case you didn't know, Tapu Koko and the other Island Guardians are very fond of Sarah and her family along with us and they won't let you set one foot closer to their castle or Alola itself even if you can sneak inside under our noses," Ash spat defiantly, glaring hard at Zin.

"Here, here!" Pikachu agreed firmly.

"Our family, for many generations before the Ultra Beast War abolished our monarchy, is forever entitled to the throne and you'll never claim it being the monstrous ruffian you are. If you think you can come along and take our kingdom and people by force, you'll end up suffering the same fate as our former son did! The throne in our family is reserved only for those who prove themselves to be fair, just, kind, compassionate, and humble towards other people and Pokemon and you're severely not qualified to have it. You can't take the throne from us by force, you have to earn it and be of royal blood if you want to have it!" David added.

"That will all change soon and you kids may have taken Team Eclipse and me by surprise with your little ploy last time, Ash, but I've been taking notes on my failings from that battle and I've acted upon them accordingly. My Storm Bird Zord may be gone but I can still destroy your granddaughter similarly. You all have one hour to think over the trade and comply with it before she dies and I dismantle her robot for scrap if all else fails for us; meet me and the Three Super Stooges in the park and don't be late. And, one more thing, I know now about your invisible friends so I'd advise you not to pull the same prank twice. Once smitten, twice shy, as they always say. Ta-Ta!"

With one final mocking smirk, Zin's video message ended and now, the heroes were further stuck between a rock and a hard place over his demands. "Your Majesties, we can't! Your daughter-!" Nate begged Doug and Delilah.

"Zin and our enemies know too much, Young Nate. Our daughter has to come first," Doug reassured.

"Great, now what?"

"If we just let that mad dog do his thing once he figures out how to get rid of her amulet, he'll sell her DNA to the highest bidder in the humans' black market!"

"Who can tell what monsters would be bred just by using Master's DNA if somebody buys it from those fiends?"

"We've gotta do something to help her and Magearna!" Amelia, Cyrus, Wang Lun, Terrakion, and Ollie put in.

"Sounds too complicated for our liking, who cares about that Zin guy's power trip? Let's just bomb him with fire and dynamite!"

"I'm all for that, let's blow them up!" Ruffnut and Tuffnut claimed, banging their helmets together in favor of a frontal assault.

"Hold up, you two, I'm all for giving Zin a bashing, too. But, can't you think of a better way to do it that doesn't involve impulsive beatdowns?" Hiccup sighed.

"I say we charge at those creeps and run them through while taking Sarah by force!" Snotlout replied, edging to get a few shots in on Zin and the other baddies with Hookfang giving an agreeing nod.

"You all would've been destroyed if you were going to fight him along with Harold, the Copycat, and the Ladybird head-on without thinking!" Solon reprimanded, not wanting her team and their friends to act so rashly despite wanting to save Sarah and Magearna as well. "You can't hope to defeat the most dangerous mastermind in the world of science and the PAW Patrol's old enemies without a foolproof plan!"

"But, we're all they got, Solon! If there's any way for us to take them on and keep Sarah out of their hands without having us give up our powers in exchange for her and Magearna, we have to take it!" Chase begged as the rest of the PAW Patrol nodded in agreement.

"Then, by all means, what are you lollygagging here for? Just use your brains to come up with a foolproof plan then, you dummies!" a voice rang out, surprising everybody.

"What, was, that?" Sweetie asked nervously as Queen Jewel sighed and playfully rolled her eyes, shaking her head at the voice.

"Reader, I told you many times why it's forbidden to eavesdrop like that. Come out, I know you're out there," she called with a knowing smirk as she looked around.

"Reader/Reader/Reader?" everybody echoed in confusion as they looked at each other.

Then, from above them and dropping down on the ceiling, was a young female Albinism NightWing Dragonet that was no older than seven. The Dragonet, now known as Reader by Jewel, had a gray face with light rose vale red scales and small diamonds running down her neck and tail, her wing membranes, horns, and spikes (present on her wings and back) being a brighter shade of red and a top gray half.

"Everybody, I like you to meet Reader. When my sisters and I made the announcement of the princess' decision to lead Dragonstone to our people, I specifically appointed her to be her NightWing advisor," Jewel introduced.

"Hi," Reader called, waving to the heroes.

"Advisor?" Tsukumaro blinked in surprise, getting an eager nod from the little dragonet.

"And, why are you even called 'Reader', anyway?" Piplup inquired, raising an eyebrow and scratching his head with his right flipper in a skeptical manner.

"You don't look like an actual reader if you don't have any books for scales," added Snom, sharing Piplip's skepticism.

Queen Sequoia chuckled in amusement as she corrected, "No, no, children. Reader, out of all our kingdom's dragonets has enhanced foresight and an enchanted mind for reading. This allows her to see a variety of different futures from different timelines based on the actions of one, our kingdom's own fortune-teller but one with the unique power of actually seeing the future."

"A real fortuneteller?!"

"Are you, serious!?"

"Man, totally trippy!" Amelia, Izzy (Green Ranger), and Liberty commented in shock and amazement which made Reader nod and puff her chest off, feeling proud of her unique abilities.

"Oh, now I get it! I remember reading something about that in the Book of the Kingdom; those abilities are unique only to NightWings when they were born under two moons - they have the power to see future events weeks or even months before they happen. Some of them only see small and minor events and others can bring about prophecies but rarer ones like Reader, those born under three moons, can see entirely different future timelines! The moons strengthen their foresight and mind reading as a result!" Fishlegs gasped in awe and realization, garnering shocked and amazed gasps from the heroes.

"Say what?!"

"You're saying this dragon could actually see into the future and do more?"

"For real, like actually see the future and not tell it?"

"No way!"

"Crazy!"

"No, more like creepy, she'll have eyes boring down on other people that way..."

"Nuts," Snotlout, Zenna, Falcon, Feathers, Thunder, Appa, and Tou-Tou remarked, stunned.

"So, that means, for your age... You're a seer akin to the ones I've met in the Wizarding World!" Tsukumaro realized with widened eyes.

"You mean like that lady from that magic school who taught Divinations you told us about once time, Professor Trelawney?" Skiddo asked, getting a confirming nod from the old advisor.

"I've known Rafkonians to specialize in mind reading including telepathy but foresight is something even I envy in other creatures," smiled an impressed Zayto.

"As much as I would like to flout my future sight, we got more pressing matters to attend to like your bargain with the devil himself due in one hour?" put in Reader knowingly.

"I'm not sure but Zin knows all our trade tricks except the pups and cats. Doesn't help that Harold, the Ladybird, and the Copycat are with him to pick us off," Steel said.

"Yeah. And, not only that, we can't have Old Man Sol and the other Spirits use the invisibility card again, he might've picked up on a new loophole for that trick," reminded Sarah's Shaymin.

"I wouldn't rule out the word 'surprise' yet, gang. Your baddies might have your girl's family heirlooms but they didn't count on hte Dragon Heart Scepter and there's one thing about it they have no clue about," Reader smirked, cheekily raising her eyebrows.

"One thing?"

"What do you mean?" Lana and Mallow quizzed in confusion.

"Oh, don't tell me, Miss Reader, you've already looked into the future for this thing about the princess' scepter," Tsukumaro frowned in realization.

"Ping-Pong, Ping-Pong!" Reader nodded as a winner's bell rang out.

"Reader is correct; the powers of the Dragon Heart Scepter far surpass anybody's expectations if they heard about it but some of them are just as easily dangerous when they're used in the princess' defense," Nuraiah put in with a knowing and thoughtful nod.

"Powers just as dangerous when used in Sarah's defense?"

"What kind of powers are we talking about?" Sophocles and Kiawe questioned.

"Are you saying that the Dragon Heart Scepter has a sort of defense mechanism built into it when its creators first made it?" Lillie deducted, getting another nod from Nuraiah until a large explosion was heard and a small but powerful shock was felt as it almost shook the entire city with some of the younger and baby Pokemon and dragons losing their balance and everyone else held their ground.

"What was that?!" Skye gasped in shock.

"An earthquake, maybe?"

"Earthquakes scare me!"

"No, earthquakes would usually have to be more powerful than this and destroy all that are in the unfortunate paths of their shockwaves below the surface and not have something blow up to coincide with it," Aku, Bambi, and Aegis bantered, the Deerling shivering with fright as she huddled close to Tsukumaro.

"The old man's right; it sounds like an explosion!" Tyson agreed, seeing Aegis' logic.

"Where did it come from?"

"Look! I see smoke coming from outside the city!" said Nyasi and Keldeo, seeing a giant smoke plume at a familiar location.

"Is it coming from the site of the old Animal Genetics Ultima building?" Lillie questioned worriedly as Nate, Jazz, and Hayden got back on the supercomputer and honed in on the source of the explosion and hooked up to the holographic table which showed the explosion having occurred within the vicinity of the shut down genetics lab.

"It's at an area a few miles from the main AGU complex and there's definitely smoke coming from there. Whatever it was that blew up, I can tell it wasn't pretty and it wasn't merely for show," Nate stated grimly.

"I'm no map expert since I don't know if it's anywhere near that place but if it was that close, we've got to get there and fast or everybody there including Sarah and Magearna are finished," Zoey suggested.

"Then, let's move! At this rate, with what just happened over there and until we deal with this unknown threat in addition to Zin, the Copycat, the Ladybird, and Harold, nobody's safe. Not even Sarah herself and her Magearna," Zayto concluded, getting knowing nods from everybody involved.

(Scene Change: Chase's Pup Tag Symbol)

The heroes raced to the scene of the disaster and just as they arrived and were about to explore the place for the source of the explosion, what they saw left them in shock and disbelief. In the midst of the chaos going on and all of the gangs in the area panicking and running for their lives, a huge roar was heard coupled with multiple gunshots and screams ringing out.

"Hey, watch it, Baldy!" Mei snapped at a gang member that knocked into her and her Pupmobile.

"Look out!"

"'Scuse us!"

"Incoming!"

"Heads up!"

"Move!"

"Have a nice day!" Aurora, Meadow, Trooper, Everest, Zuma, Harmony, and Rocky (mixed breed) peeped to other gang members bumping into them and the others in their terrified stupor.

"What's gotten a bee or two up their boxers right now?" Liberty pondered in confusion.

"What in the name of Giratina...?" Tsukumaro asked, his worries for his goddaughter growing.

The roar rang out a second time until finally, a large shape can be seen within the fire and smoke plume and it finally revealed itself to be a huge dragon standing in the middle in terms of size between the likes of Phoenix and Nova (both of whom were smaller than it) and Elder and Alder (both of which surpass it in height) with pupilless eyes, large nostrils, a huge wingspan that had very pale underparts, and powerful scales covering its body. The horns on its head were hollow while it had medium-sharp spikes running down its back all the way to its tail (which was covered in solid scales which made it look more like an axe or broadsword). To top it all off, it had long sharp claws and long sharp upper teeth protruding out of its mouth which gave it an overbite appearance.

"...Another dragon," breathed a stunned Hiccup as he and everyone else continued to look in shock and disbelief.

"Another dragon, are you serious?! What kind of dragon is that, it's totally not like the ones we have with us and we had no idea something was even here in the first place!" Rotom-Dex yelled, completely flabbergasted.

"Yeah, meet the Fault Ripper Dragon," Qibli chuckled, smirking as everyone eyed the dragon on its rampage. "Boulder Class, housing immense power and strength, able to tunnel through solid rock and crystal."

"HA! No doubt called into action by the Dragon Heart Scepter just as I saw it," Reader called with a smug smile on her face.

"The Dragon Heart Scepter?"

"Did Athi and Blizzard enchant their only heirloom with it before it was given to Sarah?" Zenna and Astrid breathed in shocked awe.

"But, how is it possible?" Amber puzzled only to hear three screams as everyone turned to find three familiar baddies being flung hard out of the burning wreckage and Zin coughing as he charged out of the flames while a little dirty.

"It's Zin!"

"The Copycat!"

"There's the Ladybird!"

"And, Harold, too!" Ash, the PAW Patrol, Tuck and Ella, and Ryder gasped in surprise.

"Ow, stupid dragon, that smarts..." Harold grumbled, rubbing his head to try to alleviate the pain.

"...That wasn't part of the plan-AH!" agreed the Copycat with an angry and pained pout, only to finally see the PAW Patrol along with their allies/friends before the pair, the Ladybird, and Zin. "PAW Patrol!"

"You again?!"

"Oh, poo! What rotten luck of ours to run into you all again!" groaned Harold and the Ladybird in annoyance.

"Well, look who we have here. Good to see you again, Dr. Zin," Nate quipped sarcastically to the mad doctor who finally took notice of the heroes.

"Well, you wasted no time getting here, I see," Dr. Zin replied, brushing himself.

"We arrived within the hour just as you said, Zin, and we've come for our daughter," Doug informed, glaring at the four baddies.

"Where is she along with her Magearna? You're gonna pay for all this," Ash warned.

"Hmph, well, just so you know, you're too late. Before you came along and while we were planning out what to do with the girl, I was just giving that scepter of hers a good polish with it in my collection. But, then, that stupid dragon appeared from it and wrecked the place up before it somehow nabbed the princess and her robot and made off with them," snorted the Ladybird with an annoyed huff as the Fault Ripper flew over to the heroes and landed beside them, Sarah and Magearna safely on its back with the former coughing from the smoke and fire they were in.

"Sarah! My little baby!" Delilah cried as she, Tsukumaro, Doug, James, Nikki, and Blitz rushed to the Fault Ripper.

"Magearna! What happened to you, are you and the princess alright?" Tsukumaro shouted to the Artificial Pokemon.

"Yes, Master, it was horrible being in that prison and this ghastly building but our new friend here managed to break us out and keep us out of harm's way," Magearna replied as the Fault Ripper lowered itself to allow her and her charge to slide off its body to meet with their friends and family.

"Thank Arceus, we were so worried...!" Donna (former queen) breathed in immense relief as she held her granddaughter's face and looked her all over.

"Alright, Aurora, remove the collar from her neck," Ryder ordered, sharing Donna's relief.

"Ruff! Aurora's the name, inventing's the game!" Aurora concurred, using her Omnifabrication to create a safety drill that carefully cut off the collar around Sarah's neck and allowed it to fall off.

"Yeah!"

"Nice building and breaking, dudette!"

"Good job, Aurora!"

"Rock it, girlfriend!"

"Meow-wow!"

"Pawsome!" Marshall, Zuma, Sweetie, Liberty, Wild, and Shade cheered.

"Your turn, Rocky!" Ryder continued towards his mixed breed pup.

"Green means 'Glow'!" Rocky shouted knowingly as he created a glowing drill and undid the shackles on the little princess' wrists and ankles.

"Thanks, Rocky," Sarah thanked as she massaged her wrists, the mixed breed pup giving her a knowing wink.

"Very good, my friends, but even so, you're not out of the woods yet. And, while we're on the topic of your daughter, I suppose it's only natural that she was just as much of a nuisance as your late sister was, princess. Isn't that right given what happened to Asha, Nikki, James?" Dr. Zin snorted before he turned his attention to the princess' adoptive parents (making them turn to him in shock with widened eyes and heavy hearts as a front of dread filled them).

"That name... How'd you know that?" James replied darkly, dread gripping him and his wife on the subject of their lost first child.

"Zin, what do you know about her?" Nikki demanded with narrowed eyes, clenching her hands into fists.

Zin gave a dark chuckle before he gave a glare and a frown towards them as he turned from the pair and everyone else, "Hmph, I thought you would've figured it out by now but you never seem to put two and two together had you made additional inquiries about her condition. I'd figure as much ever since you adopted the princess all those years ago."

"Spit it out, already, damnit!"

"What did you do to her?!" James and Nikki snapped, shocking everybody gathered.

"I am a family man away from my plans, after all. And, when my wife brought us two daughters, we were lucky to have them so that I can personally train them to be professional killers so that the Zin Dynasty will reign for all time against those who dare to defy us. But, some time later, I wanted a third daughter to join them and tip whatever scales are in our family's favor so I've searched the world for a child that my family can have for ourselves and help us carry out our legacy. My search has been fruitless for years until one day, I just happened to stumble upon your precious Asha when she was only ten and at that moment, I finally found what I had been looking for..."

Nikki and James gasped in shocked horror as Zin continued, "But, after I took her into the family and started to train her for our goals, she proved to be...troublesome to tame. She was adamant on ensuring that she was not allowed to hurt or kill anybody or any other living thing for any reason and yet, for the next seventeen years despite my best efforts, my 'punishments' didn't make her change her mind. My work with her was all for naught and after failing to fulfill her duty, I...deleted her as the disgrace she is to the family Zin."

Nikki and James were left speechless as they were stricken with absolute horror over the truth of the loss of their only child with Zin's reveal. The others, however...

"...You, YOU MONSTER!" barked Trooper angrily.

"Why!?"

"How could you do that?!"

"You wanted her to be the perfect assassin for your family and help your own daughters carry out your plans and you killed her off when she failed you, just like that?!"

"You're a madman!"

"You're nothing but an animal; you killed off Nikki and James' only child, someone you wanted as your guinea pig!" Ash, Ryder, Fishlegs, Snotlout, and Lily screamed with fury.

"...What was THAAAAAATTTTTT?!" James bellowed, having finally lost himself in his rage as he snatched a Beast-X Saber from Devon with Nikki doing the same with Nate's Striker Saber, the two of them racing towards Zin as they roared with unbridled fury with the intent on avenging their true daughter.

"Nikki!"

"Wait, don't do it!"

"James, come back!"

"You can't hope to beat Zin with your rage alone!"

"Stop it!"

"You're gonna get yourselves killed!"

"Get back, you idiots!"

"Stop, you foals!"

"Be careful! Don't let your anger control you or you'll die!" Mallow, Sophocles, Ravi, Shadow, Ollie, Zoey (Yellow Ranger), Aegis, Discord, and Torch cried in alarm.

Their warnings were left unheard as Nikki and James reached Zin and tried to strike him down in their anger. Their rage over him killing their Asha had taken them over as they wanted nothing but to ensure retribution towards her murderer and that she was avenged no matter what the costs (even if they're not as proficient in combat as the rest of their family and their friends). At this point, they were beyond reasoning as they unleashed attack after attack as they tried to get at him but the mad doctor would always dodge with giving them an unimpressed frown at one point and an amused smirk the next.

Then, just as they were about to land a blow on him, Harold saved Zin as he developed a supercharged springboard that blocked their attacks and sent them back with Shadow and Winter barely managing to save them and brought them back to the rest of their party before they would continue to act so rashly again.

"Hey, Mr. Angry, Mrs. Grump, mind cooling down for a minute? Your volcano-like anger's really cramping the mad doc's style," Harold remarked.

"SHUT UP!"

"YOU'RE GONNA DIE!" James and Nikki roared, still filled with rage as they tried to attack again only to be held back by Zayto and Aiyon and Ollie and Amelia as they struggled to hold them down.

"James, wait! Don't let them get to you, they're just trying to goad you into attacking them like that again!"

"Nikki, please! Calm down!" Devon and Nate begged, joining the four as they helped to restrain them but nearly failing to do so as they continued to struggle out of their grips.

"Come on, Sis! We gotta help them, Aromatherapy time!"

"Yeah, brother!" Sarah and Mallow's Shaymin bantered before they rushed over to the mad parents and jumped onto their heads before they used Aromatherapy on them.

All the while, Sarah was left completely dumbfounded over the revelation from Zin that Asha could indeed be dead if what he said was true; she never knew that the Quest Team's greatest enemy had a hefty hand in her adoptive parents' previous suffering over the loss of their own child and someone who she would consider an older sister had she lived on and not gotten herself kidnapped by the mad doctor.

Seeing how the pair are being fueled by their rage and hatred for Zin over the loss of their daughter, Rajhu couldn't help but worry for Nikki and James as if there was something about Asha that only he knew. He was wondering whether or not he should speak to them about her but a reassuring claw on his left shoulder made him turn his attention to Sol who just gave him a comforting and knowing nod. Seeing that his leader had his support and blessings and turning to his fellow spirits as they gave him knowing and encouraging nods, Rajhu returned their nods in acceptance and he made his way to James and Nikki to tell them a truth long overdue for them about Asha.

"At ease..." he began as the pair in question turned to him, still overtaken by their lust for revenge.

"My friends, there's something you must know... I know you're heartbroken about your daughter but I know for a fact that she would be devastated to see you as you are now and kill Zin for revenge. If you let your anger control you, how different would you both be from him? How could she look at you in the eye again if you go through with it?"

"How would you know?! You don't know anything about Asha!"

"Our baby from before was torn away from us because that monster stole her from under our noses and tried to make an assassin out of her but killed her when she wouldn't live up to his expectations and he treated her like fodder! How dare you say she would be dissapointed in us for trying to avenge her the only way we know how!" Nikki and James howled furiously.

Rajhu's eyes grew soft and he gave them a sympathetic yet knowingly hurt frown as he continued, "I know that and if things had been different and if my friends and I didn't lose Athi and Blizzard in such a callous manner had the war that claimed them not take place, I wouldn't know how you feel exactly. But, your revenge is not needed, I know what happened to her because I'm the one who knows of her ultimate fate..."

Everyore except for the rest of the Six Spirits stared with James and Nikki balking in continued shock and disbelief as they rambled, "No, n-no... You, you're, you're lying! Zin killed our daughter!"

"She couldn't be alive, not after what Zin did to our baby!"

"I can assure you she's still alive and I... I think it's best if I show you," he sighed sadly and still knowingly, deciding now's the time to come clean on what he was alluding to regarding Asha as he closed his eyes and called through his telepathy to seemingly no one in particular. "Asha, the time has come, come out. I know your parents need you and you need them, they'll want to see you again after all this time... Show yourself and relieve them of their lingering pain..."

There was a small chirp from a dragon before another new dragon came down but it wasn't alone as it had a passenger onboard its back; the girl looks to about 27-years-old and was standing at a height of 6'1" and she had almond skin, blonde hair (akin to Sarah's) that reached down to her shoulders and complemented her icy-blue eyes, an outfit consisting of a white shirt, white sneakers, a black ten-gallon cowgirl hat on her head, and simple brown jeans, a katana (specifically a ninja's katana) slung across her back to her right shoulder that was 33 inches long and had a circular guard with the symbol of a lion's head on the middle and a small pommel at the end of the handle. She even had a belt on her that housed a holster on the right side of her waist that had what looked like a Prism Shooter from Choushinsei Flashman akin to how a cowboy or cowgirl would have a pistol holstered to their belts.

The girl coolly got off her dragon companion and looked over to Nikki and James, the pair pausing in their struggle as they gasped and looked on in total shocked disbelief while everyone else gawked at her.

"No way..."

"Impossible."

"But, how...?"

"It can't be..."

"Is it really possible?"

"Is that really, Asha?" Ash, Mallow, Kiawe, Lana, Sophocles, and Lillie gaped in stunned shock as they took in the girl coming over to her parents with her dragon waddling behind her.

Also in total shock but managing to contain themselves as they held Nikki and James, Zayto, Nate, Devon, Ollie, Aiyon, and Amelia carefully let them go so they could meet with the girl. The pair remained silent as they couldn't find the words they wanted to say to her, the girl sharing her sentiments as she looked at them with widened eyes as she stared at them in stunned disbelief, almost as if the two of them had just seen a ghost when they stopped within five feet from each other.

James and Nikki blinked as Nikki breathed, "Asha? Is it really you?"

The girl simply answered, "...Yeah."

"...ASHA!" Nikki screamed in tearful delight as she and James rushed over to their daughter and ran into her arms as they all shared a long-awaited embrace while they cried while her Lucario and her husband's Dragonite could only watch on happily for their once small but happy family.

"But, how?! This is impossible! I've gotten rid of you, I made sure of that!" Zin blurted out in stunned shock and anger, ruining the moment as they broke apart and glared at him. "You couldn't be the sister assassin that I wanted for my daughters after you failed me all those years ago and killed! How are you even back?"

"What happened to Asha now is all because of me, Zin. You may have killed her, but... I brought her back from the grave," Rajhu put in, narrowing his eyes as he glared at Zin. "Have you already forgotten that amongst the Six Spirits that you've heard about prior to our first meeting, I am known as the Spirit of Life?"

"Brought her back?"

"Huh, what are you talking about, Rajhu?" Hitch and Sunny asked in bewilderment as everybody turned their attention to him.

"It's true that the dead can no longer be among the living but Asha, in particular, is a special case just as the princess' true grandparents were given the, uh, 'unique', circumstances involving her death. She died long before her time by the hands of evil, which were yours in the first place Zin, so I did the only thing I could do when I found out about her."

Ghost (Dragapult) could only utter in his total shock, "R-Rajhu, you mean... Y-Y-You, did you, just...?"

"...I've taken the liberty of bringing her back from the dead and having her reincarnated as the woman you all see before you now."

All of James and Nikki's Pokemon were stunned and even Flitter and Flutter couldn't help but squack in total disbelief as they shared everyone else's shock over the bombshell Rajhu just dropped.

Zipp didn't know what to say, calling back in rememberance, "You, you really did that...?"

"My masters have always valued the lives of everyone before they entered Bosho. Long before placing and using the enchantment possible the lengthen the lifespan of their subjects, they've greatly taught that eveybody should live their lives peacefully and end their journies in the Circle of Life as they should be. No life of any sort should end before their time on account of the greed and selfishness of someone with a black heart," Rajhu explained.

"Rajhu..." Nikki breathed weakly, realizing the lengths the Ju Wei Wu had to go through for her and James' first child.

"I'm sorry, Nikki, for not telling you and your husband sooner about Asha and making you wait for so long until this day to find out," Rajhu replied, feeling guilty for keeping Asha a secret for too long and prolonging their long-overdue reunion.

The Spirit of Life then gave the reunited trio a fatherly look and remorseful frown on his face as his guilt still remained and he continued, "In the beginning, hen I discovered that your daughter was killed by that mosnter, as the Spirit of Life, I couldn't help but tremble and quietly weep for you two and Asha for the suffering you've went through so I took the responsibility of reviving her and commencing her reincarnation while taking her under my wing. I've been watching over you ever since you were given the princess and raised her as your own as you did so with Asha and I've wanted to tell you about her but I just couldn't find it in myself to do so given your reactions to her 'passing' and by then, it was too late for me to make myself known to you and reveal the truth. It was clear to me that the loss of your child by blood caused you tremendous pain that took time and the princess to heal and I didn't want to add to it. So, I continued to look after her as my own child following her reincarnation and told her all about you so she'd remember you in hopes that I would somehow spare your feelings until this fated day..."

Nikki and James were shocked as they turned to Asha and locked eyes with her, wanting to be sure that Rajhu was telling the truth and he wasn't pulling their legs with a sick prank. All Asha could do was give her parents a knowing yet tearful nod and smile, her actions and face being the confirmation they needed to know fully well that Rajhu meant what he said and it was the truth.

They looked back towards Rajhu as he looked at them with his guilt still biting at him before he looked away in shame and self-loathing, "I realize now that waiting until now to have her reunite with you at last was the wrong thing for me to do despite my good intentions given the fact that for a time, you've somehow completely forgotten about her after the princess came into your lives and I only hope that you three can forgive me. Protecting your feelings and letting your sorrows play out until you had no more tears to shed for her is a burdern that shouldn't have been mine nor yours to bear for all these years after I saved your daughter..."

"...We're sorry, big man."

"...Rajhu, we had no idea," James and Nikki replied, stunned and yet greatly sympathetic over how much Rajhu had also suffered along with them.

Rajhu looked at Asha and she gave him a warm nod and smile, reassuring him that despite his guilt over his mistake(s), she was grateful to him for raising her as he did and reminding her that when she was ready, after keeping the memories of her parents close to her with each talk they had throughout their lives together, she would be back with her parents again. She simply didn't find it in herself to be mad at her guardian for what he percieved as a failure on his part and she owed him a lot for allowing her to finally be with them again years after her reincarnation.

Sarah saw everything as Rajhu spoke with her adoptive parents and her unknown older sister from their side of the family. Could it be that they're on the same boat as her and her real family?

Touched by the sympathy and reassuring love he was given from Asha and her parents, Rajhu smiled warmly and nodded in response before he glared at Zin and declared, "Dr. Zin, you may have succeeded in tearing Asha and her family apart after everything you did in the name of your sick little game for your Zin Dynasty's triumph over good but now that they're back together once more and I finally fulfilled my duty to them, I'll make you repent for your crimes against them right now by stomping your latest attempt to succeed in your plight for world domination through the princess and her DNA into the ground and unleash years of pain and suffering from her and her adoptive family tenfold!"

"What makes you think you can do away with my plans and those of my crew this time?" Zin scoffed as the Spirit of Life prepared to fight.

"Guess you'll need a reality check, knowing that very soon, we'll finally one-up the PAW Patrol and all of you and I, the Copycat, will stand out amongst the rest as the only Super Animal to come out on top!" the Copycat added before he turned Meow-Meow. "Meow-Meow, give Asha and her parents along with our 'distinguished guests' a demonstration of your new power and put them out of their misery!"

"Meow! Meow!" Meow-Meow complied as she prepared to fight the heroes.

"From this day forward, my Asha, I promise I will never hide anything from you and your mother and father ever again! Together, you and I can show them the true power of your family of three and with the rest of our extended family and friends, we'll overcome Zin's treachery and bring him, the Copycat, the Ladybird, and Young Harold to justice!" Rajhu finished as Harold, the Copycat, and the Ladybird took their places alongside Meow-Meow and got into battle stances as well.

"...That's right," Asha replied finally, tears starting to well up in her eyes as she knew what her guardian meant by his words and what was about to come for everyone including them, Nikki, and James.

At that moment, a familiar news truck drove into the site of the explosion of the building after making a speedy cross country trip and out came Hailey Daily and her news crew, finding what she discovers to be the next big scoop for her upcoming story and completely unaware that her pet cat was about to make his move along with those of the Ladybird, Zin, and Harold as the four of them and Meow-Meow prepared to duke it out with the heroes.

"Wow! Another clash between the forces of good and evil between four baddies including the nefarious and imfamous Dr. Zin and the Power Rangers (four teams in total) and the PAW Patrol together at once, what a story!" she said with glee, preparing to make her report.

The Copycat soon took notice of his owner and suddenly got a cheeky idea that could ultimately spark the ongoing rivalry between him, Harold, and the Ladybird, "Hailey's here! Now's my chance to finally show her that I am far better and mightier than the Power Rangers and those Mighty Pups! Hit it, Meow-Meow!"

"Meow! Meow! Meow!" Meow-Meow replied, running towards Asha and her parents to attack them first.

"Hey!" Harold cried in shocked disbelief as he glared at the Copycat for commanding Meow-Meow to make the first move instead of him.

"Headline: Boy Genius Loses Victory Against Heroes to Even More...Geniusier...Genius - The Copycat! Ha-ha!" the Copycat mocked proudly before he began to square off against the PAW Patrol while the others and Zin take on the rest of the heroes.

"LOOK OUT!" Asha cried in alarm, seeing Meow-Meow coming after the trio and pushing her parents out of the way before she rolled to the left and away from her before bringing out her Prism Shooter pointed it at the robotic cat. "Prism Shooter, fire!"

She fired her blaster as several small laser blasts shot out and landed on Meow-Meow, causing several small explosions to knock her down and halt her attack, prompting Harold to go after her only to be stopped by the Dragonstone Patrol.

"That's far enough!" Harmony bellowed as they prepared to duke it out against Mayor Humdinger's nephew.

When she found herself surrounded by the Power Rangers Beast Morphers and the Power Rangers Dino Fury, the Ladybird smirked before she pulled out a familiar shield that she managed to steal back after the Fault Ripper emerged from the Dragon Heart Scepter and attacked her and her fellow baddies as it rescued Sarah and Magearna.

"Hmm, I wonder what this shiny new toy of mine can do to you? What do you say, Power Rangers, want me to give it a test run for you?" she sneered after admiring herself for a moment from the buffed and polished surface before she pointed the Moon Shield at them.

"That's, the Moon Shield belonging to Queen Delilah!"

"She must've stolen it back after Sarah retrieved her dad's sword and her scepter when the Fault Ripper arrived and went awol on them," Ollie and Javi realized.

"That shield has nothing to do with you except for Princess Sarah, lady. Now, hand it over and there won't be any trouble," Zayto warned.

"Oh, but I'm just getting started with it, though. I hope the princess won't mind if I have some fun with it before I give it up, hyah!" the Ladybird replied, throwing the shield like a frisby as the two ranger teams dodged it coming their way with only a few of them being unlucky enough to get hit by the shield before the Ladybird caught it when it returned to her.

"She threw the Moon Shield like it was some kind of frisby!" Steel began as he recovered.

"The Ladybird must've figured out how to fight using it like that instead of using its normal functions like its Crossbow Mode," Nate gasped in realization. "As long as she has long-range combat such as that while the shield's in her possession and if she knows how to bash at us with it, we can't attack her."

"But, we've gotta do something! That shield has got to get back to Sarah and her family or bust!" Izzy (Green Dino Fury Ranger) reminded, preparing to go on the attack.

"Anybody got an idea on how to turn the tables on this chick?" Aiyon quizzed before he ducked as the Ladybird threw the shield at him, Ollie, and Zoey (Yellow Beast Morphers Ranger), forcing them to duck out of the way.

"Anything's worth a try whether it be a bright idea or a stupid one! Just think of something!" Zoey replied.

With Harold, he used his Technopathy to create two glowing police batons from scratch before he went at the Dragonstone Patrol and was able to match them in combat despite their superior battle tactics.

"You're pretty good for a rogue super baddie," Brooke shot at Harold as they were in a deadlock between her paws and his batons.

"You didn't think it was gonna be that easy, did you?" Harold smirked before he knocked the Security Pup back towards her friends.

"Brooke!" the Dragonstone pups cried as they regrouped.

"He's definitely not playing around this time!"

"Who would've thought he'd also be taking martial arts classes during his time off when he's not with his uncle?" Heart and Tail bantered before Harold went on the attack again.

Meanwhile, Asha continued to fight against Meow-Meow while making sure to keep her distance from her before the robotic cat could do damage to her and her parents. She managed to change her Prism Shooter from Blaster Mode to Knight Mode (the blade of the sword being in the shape of the blades from the sword components of the Change Sword from Dengeki Sentai Changeman) and was doing her best to hold off against Meow-Meow as best she could while her parents stood off to the side and watched from a safe distance. They were amazed by how much their daughter had grown and changed following her rebirth and reincarnation while living with Rajhu in Dragonstone and that only added to their pride and how proud they were of her.

"That's our real Ponchita, she really has become a fine young woman ever since Rajhu reincarnated her and raised her for us," James smiled proudly.

"I'm so proud of her," agreed Nikki.

"It's not too late to turn yourselves in while you have the chance, my friends. I knew you fools would pull something like this so I made sure to throw in a little surprise for you all to keep you busy, Zorrors!" Zin spat, snapping his fingers and some Poke-Mechas disguised as Zorrors appeared before they charged at the heroes.

"Oh, great! These clowns in disguise again, what next?" Chase groaned, using his super speed to knock some of the Zoro clones over and bash them.

"As if we already had our hands full with these three and Zin!" agreed Skye as she tried to go at the Copycat but missed as he dodged her attempt to subdue him.

"How did Zin get a hold of these Poke-Mechas, anyway?"

"I think he must've found some leftover files of them from his and Team Eclipse's old base and tweaked them to become his foot soldiers just for us, I'm guessing he and Lothor probably digitized them for security purposes and moments such as this," Sophocles deducted to Mallow as they fought the Zoros.

"And, if I had to guess, he found what would be the last form of grunts they wanted them to take on which are the Zorrors from the Reconstructive Experiment Empire Mess that tangled with one of our sentai predecessors, the Choushinsei Flashman, throughout 1986 to early 1987," Kiawe added in realization.

"We'll get a workout deleting them, anyway," Lana remarked.

"If they're the last of the grunts we'll have to fight and ensure that Zin doesn't have any more tricks to toy us around with, we'll give them a fight to remember! It's the least we can do for the world and the Flashman after they went through so much suffering through Mess' evil deeds!" Lillie put in, preparing herself along with Snowy as she readied her saber.

"Yeah, our veteran Legendary Rangers from the Flash Planet System would want us to put an end to anything that reminded them of Mess with those bugs running around. Let's get 'em!" Ash agreed with a nod.

"Right!" the others replied as they and their Pokemon attacked.

"Such strength, they're so cool!" Marshall breathed in admiration as he and the rest of the PAW Patrol watch the Power Rangers Ultra Rescue fight off the Zorrors with the Jungle Fury Rangers joining in to give them a hand.

"Eh? Marshall, don't tell me you're starting to fall for those kids related and bound to the princess already," smirked Sweetie, causing Marshall to stammer and blush nervously.

"Que super equipo! They're already fighting in top form as a team against those Zorror clones but what are we doing here?" Tracker put in.

"Those cool dudes are rockin' the place, we're gonna lose to them if they continue to make things showy!" Zuma smiled.

"We might get our chance, Zuma, 'cause here comes some along with the Copycat now!" Everest put in, seeing a couple of Zorrors and the Copycat setting their sights on the PAW Patrol and preparing to fight them as well.

"You're mine now, PAW Patrol!" the Copycat sneered.

"Not if we stop you and the rest of your team first!" barked Rocky back.

"No problem! I got these two, Rubble on the Double!" Rubble declared as he came at two Zorrors running towards him and caught them before lifting them up with his super strength and throwing them towards another group of Zorrors from the left and knocking them down.

"We're not going to lose here! Right, Chase?" Skye asked Chase.

"Right! Arf, come on, you bug-eyed space aliens! Let's get this party started! PAW Patrol, ready... GO!" Chase announced, signalling himself and his fellow pups to start fighting against the Zorrors and they started to do so with ease as each of them displayed their own unique abilities to the final group of Team Eclipse grunts they and their fellow heroes would ever have to deal with and the Copycat once he involved himself in their struggle.

But, things started to tip in the villains' favor on Asha's side; once she finally found an opening, Meow-Meow knocked Asha away and disarmed her, making her lose her Prism Shooter in the process.

"Asha!"

"Ponchita!" Nikki and James cried in horror as they saw their daughter knocked back as she rolled and stopped on her stomach.

"Damn...!" Asha growled with a slight groan as she tried to push herself up despite the hard hit she took from her mechanical feline foe, unsheathing her katana and pointing it at Meow-Meow.

This drew the attention of the Copycat as he noticed Meow-Meow finally knocking her human opponent down and cackled, "Now, you see? Meow-Meow can't be beaten now, this is the end for you, you meddling cowgirl ninja!"

"Not yet, don't you think it's a little too early to be gloating right now? You'll have to have her knock me down harder than that if you want to kill me again!" Asha spat in defiance as she held her katana at the ready despite continuing to reel from the pain of Meow-Meow's hit.

"HA! What can you do against us, you're all alone and you couldn't handle Meow-Meow on your own being a knight in name only," the Copycat sneered as he approached her from atop his whirlwind. "Besides, you and those Mighty Pups are only second-rate; anything you can do, I can do better, the princess included!"

"Looking for me, partner?" Sarah called, morphed as she flipped and tried to slice at the Copycat with her Beast-X Star Sword, getting a yelp from him as he dodged just in time before she stood in front of her sister-in-law.

"YOU!" he cried in disbelief and angered shock.

"You're right, Copycat, with your own mighty powers, you can and would do anything better compared to us Power Rangers and the Mighty Pups but we've picked up on a few things you and your fellow super stooges probably didn't do any research on such as... I summon Chomp and Munch, in Attack Mode!"

Sarah pulled out Chomp and Munch's cards before she brought out her Dino Gear and swiped their cards through the slot, summoning her chosen dinosaurs in Battle Mode as they landed on the ground and roared, both of them ready to fight for their master.

"Whoa, they're back!"

"Chomp and Munch!"

"Whoo, now that's some real mystical dino fury power!"

"Dinosaurs that pop out of cards with a swipe? That's awesome, I've gotta try it someday!"

"Phenomenal, Sarah's dinosaurs are back in business!" Javi, Astrid, Zayto, Aiyon, and Nate gasped in surprise.

"Alright, Sarah! Show that super feline baddie the way to his own dinosaur litterbox!" Steel hollered victoriously, knowing that Chomp and Munch's summoning could turn the tables in the heroes' favor.

"Urgh, nice going, you fleabag! Now, she's got her dinosaurs out on the field with all of us this time!"

"You had to jinx it with your big mouth, do you?" grumbled Harold and the Ladybird with disdain towards the Copycat as they looked at the two ceratopsians.

"You dinosaurs don't scare me, I'm a super bad genius of invention! Let's see you two fossils try to break through anything I make or even Meow-Meow, good luck trying to pummel her in her supercharged state," Harold taunted, challenging the dinosaurs as they roared back in acceptance and charged towards Meow-Meow as she noticed them coming before they knocked her away (making her yeow in shocked bewilderment).

"How about a little thunderbolt to shut down your overgrown robotic pussy cat?" the princess taunted back, taking out a move card and swiping it through her Dino Gear's slot which caused Chomp and Munch to spark with electricity and rainbow lighting covered their frills as they roared. "Say goodnight before we send you back to Mayor Humdinger, Meow-Meow! Ability, activate - Lightning Spear!"

With that attack call from their master, Chomp and Munch ran towards Meow-Meow, jumped off the ground, and landed on both sides of her as the resulting shockwave of electricity came at her and she yowled in pain, her systems starting to short-circuit as she spazzed from the damage done to her.

"NOOOOO!" the Ladybird, Harold, and the Copycat screamed, Zin just giving a slight scoff of annoyance from the setback.

"Bzt-bzt-bzt-bzzzzt... I-I, o-o-obey..." Meow-Meow surrendered before she finally shut down and was returned to her normal house cat size from her fried circuits while Chomp and Munch roared in victory.

"No way! You're a Power Ranger and can control dinosaurs like them, too?!" Asha gasped in shock and surprise as she looked at the sister she didn't know about that protected her.

"I'm full of surprises, huh?" Sarah replied simply with a shrug.

"Wow! How about that, Ollie? Looks like the princess has got your dinosaur spirit within her with those two," chuckled Zayto jokingly.

"Uh, yeah, sure... Let's go with that," replied a surprised Ollie as he looked at Chomp and Munch.

"No way! I can't believe it, how did you even get that thing back after we took your stuff from you?" Harold groaned in annoyance towards Sarah.

"Oh, you wanna know? Very simple; while you had your backs turned, and since you never bothered to ask more about me earlier, I used a little touch of Hogwarts magic I've learned from my godfather. You had no idea that I was a witch under his teachings despite not going to that school he told me about," she replied, showing the three super baddies her wand they forgot about before eying her Dino Bracer and performing "Accio" to retrieve it as well.

"What?! I thought for sure I had that shiny brace thing and the gadget fixed on me tight enough!" the Ladybird gasped before she shrugged and prepared to fight with the Moon Shield again with a cocky smirk. "Oh, well, I can always get it back. Too bad I still have custody rights over your shield, princess. But, don't worry, I'll be sure to take good care of it once this whole affair of ours is over."

"Don't be so sure about that, young lady! Some weapons such as my sword and my wife's shield don't take too kindly to being taken from their chosen wielders," Doug countered as the Ladybird threw the Moon Shield at his daughter and yet it shimmered before it stopped just a mere two ft from her.

"Ah, no fair!"

"You're one to talk fair; my husband and I knew people would try to go for our weapons once they had been made so we've had them made as they were to be used only by those in the royal family such as myself, my husband, and our baby. They're smarter than they look and you give them too little credit when you tried to use my shield against my daughter," Delilah scoffed knowingly.

"How did you figure that out?!"

"*She and Doug did their homework when they commissioned their heirlooms as well as the Twilight Amulet and built Magearna, Ladybird. You should've known the Sun Sword and Moon Shield were never meant to be used for evil and would never harm their true owners if they've ever been used against them. And, you, Young Harold, and the Copycat call yourselves 'Super Baddies' when you couldn't understand this tippet about them?*" Sol replied, unimpressed.

"Whoa! So, they're, like, alive when you had them made?"

"Do they have actual sentimentality within them? Awesome," Izzy (Green Ranger) and Javi grinned.

"Not bad, so your dinosaurs took out Meow-Meow with a powerful spark or two. No big deal, did you forget I can do something like this? Why don't they try that on for size?" the Copycat snorted before he shot two fireballs at Chomp and Munch.

"I didn't forget. Defense Burst, activate!" Sarah snapped, activating another Move Card which allowed her dinos to absorb the fireballs and send them back toward the Copycat, knocking him to the ground.

"I guess Zin never told you everything about me, did he? He probably didn't have the foresight to warn you that my dinosaurs are no ordinary dinosaurs of the past but Elemental Dinosaurs. I had a feeling he would know about them including Chomper and Munch easily taking you to school like that despite your powers, thus making you scapegoats at the end of it. Tough luck, that's what I say."

"Oh, that'll change once I come up with a way to take away your powers again," Harold sniffed arrogantly.

"Sure, you would...NOT!" spat the dragon that was Asha's companion as it shot fireballs into large webs around Harold and the Ladybird that hardened on impact but missed Zin and the Copycat as they dodged the balls coming their way (one of them giving Zin a small yet harsh burn on his left arm (akin to a bullet hitting him from Season 2 of The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest) before he was forced to retreat out of sight, realizing he made a mistake and thus was on the losing end of it all).

"Gross! Let us out, you overgrown lizard!" the Ladybird shrieked in angered disgust.

"I think that'll be up to my dragon to decide given how much trouble you're all in," Asha replied simply as her dragon came up alongside her. "And, by the way, Willow is not a lizard, she's a Deadly Spinner which is why you're stuck in those webs she made."

In terms of her appearance, Willow was the size of Shadow and/or Winter but she bored a striking resemblance to Stormfly with her large horn protruding from her nose apart from her green eyes, three pairs of legs with two slim arms (each of them armed with three sharp claws on them), a light blue body coloration with purple specks on it, and an arrow-tipped tail.

"Good job, bird lady. *You* were fiddling about with the princess' possessions earlier and now, with that weird dragon that came out of that scepter of hers that broke her and her robot free from our grasps, both those pups and the Power Rangers have them back," grumbled Harold as he glared annoyingly at the Ladybird from his prison.

"Me?! You didn't notice anything suspicious about them nor helped Zin keep an eye on her with that necklace of hers playing up for him," the Ladybird spat back at Harold in annoyance. "Anyway, you won't be picking them up again to do whatever you want without your shiny-"

"...Energy Badge!" they gasped, remembering their badges before Aurora came over.

"I'll take those," she replied as she snagged the badges from them and destroyed them.

"Aww!" Harold and the Ladybird groaned, seeing Aurora destroy their badges with a laser created from her Omnifabrication and losing their powers in the progress.

"Oh, what a shame. No more superpowers for you so-called Super Baddies and no DNA moneymaker for Dr. Zin after he ran away, never to appear again," the Copycat mocked as he reappeared and Aurora looked up in shock at him. "I guess now that you three are now in a slump, the princess and her robot now belong to, ME! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

Suddenly, before anybody could react while the PAW Patrol and the Dragonstone Patrol regrouped with everyone else after taking out the last of the Poke-Mecha Zorrors, the Copycat zipped over to Sarah and Magearna and created an energy rope before he lassoed them (making them yelp in surprise and shock) and hoisted them up for everyone to see.

"*Oh! Not again!*" screeched a startled Magearna.

"Oh, come on! Why does everything like this always happen to us?!" snapped Sarah in angered annoyance.

Everybody gasped in shock over the sudden unfortunate turn of events as Marshall blurted out on behalf of everyone, "The Copycat, again?!"

"Say goodbye to your precious princess and her robotic slave, once and for all, Mighty Pups, Power Rangers! As I say goodbye to you, saying...goodbye, to me! HA-HA!" the Copycat sneered again before he went off with his prizes in tow.

"MY BABY!" Delilah cried in horror.

"Come back with our daughter, you cursed feline!" Doug bellowed in anger.

"The Copycat's got the princess and Magearna again!"

"He's making a break for it!" Sweetie and Guardeon cried.

"He's not getting away nor making off with my sister and her Pokemon while I'm here! Come on, Willow!" Asha vowed as she boarded Willow after retrieving her Prism Shooter and they made off toward the Copycat.

"Don't leave us hanging! Come on, Tuck! Time to think big!" Ella called as she and her brother activated their powers and they gave chase and followed Asha, Willow, and the Copycat.

"Unhand us, you dirty, underhanded, selfish little savage of a cat!" barked a now-outraged Magearna as she and Sarah struggled against their binds.

"You better let us go, you stubby tabby cat, or you'll be sorry!" Sarah growled as the Copycat continued to fly them out of the area while he held them by his paws.

"You're part of my big success, Princess! Besides, it's too late for you losers to do anything now, no one is bigger than the CopycaAAHH!" the Copycat sneered cockily before he was startled and stopped by Tuck and Ella, reeling from Ella's size and their appearance as she smirked at him.

This gave Tuck, who's shrunk and standing on top of her head, the opportunity to jump onto his slightly bigger foe and on his paw before he gave a gentle yet powerful kick that was just enough to knock the little princess and Magearna away from the Copycat.

"THE PRINCESS!" the Copycat screamed, seeing Sarah and Magearna fall after they were kicked away from him.

"Gotcha!" Asha cried as she and Willow swooped under and over, managing to catch the pair just in time before they could hit the ground.

"They did it!"

"Tuck and Ella stopped the Copycat in his tracks!"

"And, Asha and her dragon got the princess and Magearna back!" Everest, Rubble, and Phanpy.

"Great job, Mighty Pups!" Ryder congratulated Tuck and Ella.

"That's our Ponchita! HA-HA!" James cheered, he and Nikki feeling ecstatic as they saw their real daughter and Willow save their adopted daughter and Magearna.

"You did it, guys!"

"You saved Mommy!"

"Yeah!" Blitz, Curly, and Eevee agreed happily.

"Yeah, the Copycat's plans for them along with Zin's moneymaking bargain are gone forever! BOOYAH!" Steel hollered excitedly as he shared a high-five with Aiyon.

"You haven't seen the last of the Copycat, PAW Patrol!" the Copycat seethed with fury before he retreated to Hailey's van when she drove into the area and hid back inside while she looked for him after she saw everything that went down.

"Mr. Nibbles, you have to see this! The Power Rangers and the Mighty Pups did it, they saved the princess and her Magearna!" she cried ecstatically as she went into the back and found him happily snoozing as his old self instead of his alter-ego with a "Meow".

"Well, maybe all this Power Ranger and Mighty Pup action is a little too much for you," she chuckled, leaving Mr. Nibbles to groan with a deeply-disgruntled pout over his failure to one-up the PAW Patrol again.

(Scene Change: Mighty Pups Symbol)

After the craziness of their latest adventure, everybody returned to Aulani to catch up on their downtime while taking Harold and the Ladybird with them for the authorities to deal with, also giving Asha a long-awaited chance to reconnect with her parents and get to know her extended family after so long while reintegrating herself back into society after her time at Dragonstone. When they were told everything, the Cast Members were more than happy to provide Asha and Willow with an extra room free of charge so as to congratulate Nikki and James on their reunion with someone dear to them they thought was lost.

As for the Ladybird and Harold, they were made to do community service at the Disney resort for the next five months and pay for their contribution and compensation for Sarah and Magearna's ordeal and got Mayor Humdinger to join in on their punishment since the authorities later found out that he had a part in everything that happened involving the Artificial Pokemon and her charge's capture and Dr. Zin's short-lived alliance with them and the Copycat.

"Why do I have to help with this for the next five months?" Mayor Humdinger complained as he helped to sweep the resort clean with him and Harold being put on cleaning duty and the Ladybird being forced to do laundry duty as punishment via the Cast Members' overall decision.

"Kidnapping them and having us join forces with Dr. Zin after finding him was your idea, Uncle Mayor," Harold snapped at his uncle.

"Oh, sure, now give me credit!" Mayor Humdinger shot back as they continued with cleanup duty while they were being watched by a Cast Member who's been assigned to them.

"I don't want to see a single speck of dust, trash, or leftover food anywhere around this place," he warned the pair.

During the time skip, the damage that had been done to the area housing the abandoned Animal Genetics Ultima complex from the fire to the fighting has now been repaired thanks to the Reparo spell by Tsukumaro. While the entire complex itself is still earmarked for official demolition, the alleyways have been restored and the local gangs living in them were allowed back albeit with slightly more respect for Angel and Ryan given the harsh lecture they had about ignoring whatever potential dangers the complex could've still housed and they would've left the alleyways destroyed if they didn't go easy on them.

There was some worry from the group about them noticing the Eight Queens, Cyrus, Qibli, Smolder, and Reader but thanks to a temporary Disillusionment Charm by Sarah, they were safely hidden from view until the gangs were out of sight and they could depart for home and Aulani.

This enabled everyone to finally take time off away from their adventures with Sweetie now getting the tanning session she wanted with Sarah and a chance to get to know each other better as the royal pup recounted her mischievous misadventures for her own personal interests that often got her into trouble before she turned over a new leaf and became a member of the PAW Patrol.

As for Hailey's report, thanks to some sneaky and diligent editing on her and her crew's part, she aired her story on the defeat of the Zin and the Super Baddies without revealing the group's identities nor the Eight Queens and the other dragons.

Willow settled in with her new family and friends well as she couldn't stop giving Aiyon affectionate nuzzles and she and Solon warmed up to each other quickly, much to Asha's amusement.

She could tell that her partner had taken a shine to Zayto's best friend (with the Red Dino Fury Ranger laughing at Aiyon's expense over Willow's crush on him) and more so with Solon, so much so that when the Deadly Spinner begged her owner if she can join them, she was more than happy to let them and their team borrow her for a spell, seeing that her abilities will benefit them greatly in their ongoing quest to stop the Sporix, Void Queen, and Void King back at Pine Ridge.

In addition, Sarah was more than happy to lend them the Fault Ripper Dragon (whom Ollie decided to name Flint) and have him stay with the Dino Fury Team, allowing Aurora to create a modified version of the Gift of Mystic for him (three of which she originally designed for Sapphira, Zephyr, and Drogon). They were comprised of two ruby-encrusted rings worn around their horns that were enchanted to give them Beast-X Dragon Armor and given their immense size, strength, and speed, their only other means of attack and defense were their fire breaths that can be countered with the right steps taken. Realizing this, the Inventor Pup enchanted their armor so that when activated, they'll mimic the firepower of the dragons from the Barbaric Archipelago, be given invulnerability, a Flame Jacket, Thermal Invisibility, and a Lightning Cloak ability.

With his natural balance of defense and offense, Flint had his gear enchanted by Sarah so that it'll allow him to shrink in size, enabling him to better accommodate to his new surroundings as was the case with Orchard and Orion so he'd fit in the Dino Fury Rangers' base at Dinohedge.

When the princess and her adopted sister finally got to talking and getting to know one another, Asha was shocked to discover the amount and variety of Pokemon Sarah had taken under her wing with the mythical creatures, the dinosaurs, and the dragons on top of them throughout the past two years.

She thought her head was going to explode when she was told about her and her friends and family's adventures including her, Ash, and the Pokemon School Gang's stint as the Power Rangers Ultra Rescue and the Aether Foundation's partnership with Grid Battleforce as well as Team Eclipse and their defeat. Things got crazier for her when she was told of how her extended family traveled to her dragons' former homeworld of Berk and the Barbaric Archipelago to put an end to the Dragon Wars there, her decision to become a successor to the original king and queen of Dragonstone, her secondary mission involving Necrozma, and becoming an honorary Pokemon ambassador amongst her many other escapades with everyone she knew and loved.

"No way, is that so...?" she breathed in stunned awe as she tried to wrap her head around everything she was told before she eventually grew somber as she then said, "It's been seventeen years for me since I was brought back and throughout these past two years, I've missed out on so much..."

"Yeah, it's been crazy ever since I first started attending the Pokemon School back on Melemele Island two years ago," Sarah agreed.

"And, on top of all that, you've managed to snag yourself a boyfriend at your age," Asha replied before chuckling. "Sounds like he's your type the way you've been going on about each other when I spoke to him about you."

"I'm just happy you're back and things for us and your mom and dad would get better. Hey, do you have any Pokemon on you while you were gone?"

Asha pulled out two Pokeballs she had on her and winked at her sister as she showed them the Pokemon she caught while under Rajhu's care: a fully-grown Altaria who is heroic yet timid named Zircon and a regular-colored Haxorus nicknamed Proud whose fierceness and determination caught the eye of James' Axew when he was eventually introduced to Proud, his own eyes glistening in admiration for another Dragon Type belonging to his evolved form including his father.

Even the Mane 5, the Power Rangers teams with them, and the Vikings along with their dragon partners couldn't help but feel happy for Nikki and James as they all bore witness to the two sisters getting to know each other and the pair in question finally getting to spend some much needed time together as they family they once were as Asha began to tell them everything she went through while at Dragonstone under Rajhu's wing after Sarah and her family decided to leave them alone to allow them time to catch up. It was clear to everyone that things were only going to get better for their royal friends and much livelier than before with the unexpected arrival and return of Asha and the introduction of Willow, Flint, Zircon, and Proud.

With Sarah rescued and the return of a daughter thought to be lost to them forever, the bonds between the princess and Nikki and James grew even stronger and the family that took her in was made whole again. In their hearts, with Asha's arrival and revival thanks to Rajhu, they'll go on to face numerous different challenges, together...
