35. Chapter 128: UR & BM: Evox Unleashed

Last time on Beast Morphers...

Nate: "Look out!"

Evox/Venjix: "Give me the access codes!"

Sarah: "Get back here!"

Devon: "Evox hacked into our systems and stole our data, making him immune to all of our weapons safe for those belonging to Sarah and her friends."

Zoey "We faced problems before, we can fix this-"

Nate: "Not true! We've never faced something like this!"

Devon: "It's Robo-Blaze, he's been spotted heading for Tower 7."

Sarah: "Little did we know, behind our backs, Evox or Venjix, as he was originally known, was back and ready to destroy us, using the access codes he stole to take over the entire Morph-X Tower Network and use it against us..."

---

It's a nightmare come to life for all of Coral Harbor and the entire world; Venjix, the computer virus that nearly obliterated Dr. K's world, has finally resurfaced and is back at his full power now as Evox as he planned to level the entire city to begin his long-awaited pursuit for revenge and start his mission to purge humanity from the world all over again. Now having complete control over the Global Morph-X Tower Network thanks to Scrozzle, Grid Battleforce immediately went into a Code Red and issued a complete evacuation of Coral Harbor, wanting everybody to get out as soon as possible while the heroes and GB stay behind to deal with him.

With all of the Morph-X he can harness from all over the other towers, Venjix channeled all of it into Morph-X Tower 1 at the heart of the city where Grid Battleforce had been stationed. The threat he had posed was so bad that all of the citizens were forced to flee with Blaze, Roxy, and their Pokemon all assisting in the evacuation operations while doing their best to calm everybody down and not have them panic while on their way out.

"Please exit quickly and calmly," a Grid Battlefroce worker patrolling the city called via speakers to the citizens as they headed for the evacuation points closest to them.

"What's going on?!"

"I don't know!"

"What's happening?"

"Don't worry about it!"

"Let's get out of here!"

"Why are we leaving?!" asked some flustered and worried citizens although their questions remained unanswered for they had no idea of Venjix's threat to the entire world as everyone was being directed out of Coral Harbor and over to the nearest shelters where they can be safe.

"Let's go, everyone! Let's go, let's go, let's go!" Roxy urged as she and her Altaria guided a group of people with them to safety after they were informed of Evox's true self and what he planned to do.

"Stay calm, ladies and gentlemen! That's the first thing to do in this situation!" Altaria cooed to the frantic citizens.

"The roads of Coral Harbor are jam-packed, you can expect major delays on all city highways today," informed a radio news reporter as everybody traveling by road out of the city is caught in major traffic jams with other people coming in having no idea as to what was going on.

---

Meanwhile, at Grid Battleforce, Zoey and Mike's mother, Muriel, was with Commander Shaw, the Viking Teens, Mayor Daniels, and the Beast Morphers and Ultra Rescue Power Rangers teams along with the Pokemon and dragons with them as they prepared to give all of Coral Harbor an urgent update to any and all people within the city's limits to evacuate on account of Venjix enacting the final stages of his endgame to the world. When they were informed about the situation, Lusamine, Wicke, Faba, Kukui, and Burnet all made their way to Coral Harbor to help send out the message to everybody else who would also feel the brunt of his assault once he gets what he wanted from the Morph-X.

Now, all of them are in the Command Room as they prepared to send their message to Coral Harbor and the world regarding Venjix, calls for evacuation being issued, and what the heroes would do next as Muriel began, "Today, people of Coral Harbor are interrupted with an urgent announcement from Grid Battleforce."

Taking their places with the Rangers, the Viking Teens, and Sarah (unmorphed as she wanted to contribute to the message for everyone as the Sun Princess in her new royal look), Commander Shaw, Mayor Daniels, Lusamine, Burnet, Kukui, Faba, and Wicke made the call to evacuate, all of them looking grim as the heroes stood firm, ready to defend the city, their world, and everyone and everything else in it from Venjix once he strikes.

"Evox or Venjix, as he was originally known according to Power Rangers history, has now begun his final assault on all of us by first taking control of the entire Morph-X Tower Network. Towers from all around the world are sending pure morphing energy to Tower 1 in the heart of Coral Harbor," Commander Shaw informed.

"The threat that Venjx is posing after resurfacing following so many long years in the shadows will be much bigger than a full-blown Rock Slide," Kukui added grimly.

"In another world, Venjix nearly wiped out an entire world not too far off from ours to the last bit of human civilization it had as its only remaining beacon of hope," continued a grave Lusamine.

"Unless you all can escape and get to safety in time, what Venjix will unleash upon us will surpass and eclipse everything he did before as Evox," Burnet said.

"Until further notice, Coral Harbor will be shut off following complete evacuation from the city premise," Wicke called, looking grim.

"Evacuation is already underway, everyone needs to get as far from the Morph-X Towers as possible."

"All of the Morph-X being sent to Tower 1 by Venjix will ensure the destruction of our world over a 10-mile radius, please evacuate and as Mayor Daniels said, steer clear from the Morph-X Towers," Mayor Daniels and Faba put in.

"Grid Battleforce and the Aether Foundation, in our continued partnership with each other and with the support of the Alolan Royal Family's Princess Sarah Tomoe, will stay to protect both our homes and our world. You can count on us," Devon reassured.

"If any of you can't make the evacuations in time, please do whatever you can no matter what to protect yourselves or make it out of Coral Harbor in one piece. Our hope for survival not only lies in us but in all of you; if we fall, it'll be up to you to do what you must to ensure that our world, our homes, all stay alive. Never forget that our world is a beautiful one despite its troubles and together, no matter what happens, we can still make it a beautiful place. On behalf of all of us here at Grid Battleforce and the Aether Foundation as well as the Alolan Royal Family, I'd just like to say, thank you and good luck," Sarah finished.

"And, cut! It'll go out on every channel," Muriel called to her crew, confirming to Mayor Daniels, the Alola Professor, and the Aether Foundation members the message being sent to Coral Harbor throughout the city and the world's TV networks.

"Great, thank you."

"Thank you, Muriel, you'll do a great service to us all," Mayor Daniels and Lusamine thanked as everybody readied themselves for battle and to continue the evacuation process.

"Commander, can I have a word with you?" Muriel asked Commander Shaw, something bugging her that she needed to get off her chest.

"I, only have a minute," the commander replied just as Zoey was about to leave with the others.

"It's about my daughter, Zoey Reeves; she works in the laundry department," Muriel informed, stopping the Yellow Ranger in question as she turned to the pair and heard everything she said about her as her worries and motherly love for her bled out. "I know she'll want to help but, it's so dangerous for her to tackle... She means so much to me, everything... I'm going to evacuate from the city but, please, let her come with me..."

Being a mother herself to Ravi, Commander Shaw understood how terrified Muriel is for her daughter but knowing how invaluable she is as the Yellow Ranger right now, she had to tell her, "I'm sorry but your daughter is critical to our success."

"She's in Laundry, can I just see her? I want to tell her how much I love her..." Muriel begged.

Seeing how much she wanted to see Zoey badly and have her confess her love to her before she would leave, Commander Shaw turned to the Yellow Ranger before them and nodded, approving her to reveal her identity to her mother.

"You don't need to," Zoey reassured as she took off her helmet and showed herself to her. "I already know."

Muriel gasped in surprise but she soon smiled as they then hugged each other happily for what would be the last time before she would join the others for their final rumble against Venjix, "Zoey, you're...the Yellow Ranger? I'm so proud of you! I should've known..."

Zoey smiled in agreement although she had to frown, knowing that it was time for her to rejoin her friends for their ultimate battle against their greatest foe, "I can't come with you..."

Muriel understood as she gave a sad yet proud smile to her daughter and sang her praises, "I understand now, you're the girl who solves big problems. And, right now, the city needs you. I love you, Zoey..."

"I love you, too," Zoey smiled as she left to rejoin her friends with Muriel looking proudly after her before she would evacuate soon after.

While the Viking Teens and their dragons prepare themselves in another room, Nate and the others readied themselves for their final fight with Evox. After the successful test fire of the new Beast-X King Antivirus Power Bolt, he refined the one made for Sarah's Ultra Bow and created a new one for his own Ultra Bow; the current plan of action was to try and get Venjix distracted enough before he makes his way to the heart of Tower 1 where all the Morph-X is being directed and focused at and, while he's somehow down for the count, at a precise moment of vulnerability, they strike him down with the Beast-X King Antivirus Power Bolts, one shot acting as a feint and the other being the intended killing shot if it all goes without a hitch.

"You and Abomosnow load these into the Ultra Bows; carefully, though, we won't have time to make two backups," he informed Ben as he handed him the arrows.

"You got it."

"Roger, Nate," Ben and Abomosnow nodded as they set to work on loading the arrows.

"You know, distracting Venjix for long enough would help give us a fighting chance to hit him with the antivirus from either of our Ultra Bows," Ravi deducted as the group went over their plan.

"If we can keep him from getting to Tower 1's Morph-X flow, that is," Mallow reminded.

"But, his hacking our system made him immune to our weapons and only the Sun Sword, Dragon Blade, and Poke-X Fury Sabers along with the powers of their Booster Keys were able to match him and do damage. So, how can we help you guys fight him, Mallow?" Steel questioned.

"Even our Pokemon and the dragons were even more effective against Venjix in his Evox form compared to the Grid Battleforce arsenal. Unless we have a way to help you guys take him down a notch, you're basically sitting ducks," Kiawe sighed, wondering what they should do to help the Beast Morphers team get out of their latest jam.

"Don't worry, Kiawe, Sarah and I talked it over and we have something in mind that he will never expect inspired from our recent encounters with him," Devon reassured as he, Betty, Froslass, Incineroar, Sarah, Curly, and Blitz came out with several cases from inside the Ranger Vault that they placed onto two carts.

Soon, the alarms went off, alerting everybody that Evox has reemerged and that it was time for everybody to go into overdrive. Hearing the alarms, once they were all done, Hiccup, his friends, their Pokemon, and their dragons regrouped with their friends as Commander Shaw contacted them all with Evox's exact coordinates, also knowing that it is time for them to put their latest gamble into action.

"Rangers, Venjix has appeared near Tower 1. It's Go Time," she informed the group, wishing everyone the best of luck.

"We're on it, Commander, we'll get right on it," Sarah nodded before she turned to Betty and Froslass. "Betty, Froslass, position them for transport. We'll handle the rest when we get to him."

"Absolutely."

"**We're on our way, Devon,**" Betty and Froslass nodded determinedly and left with the carts and cases, Froslass using Psychic to push her cart along as the others noticed what they, Devon, Sarah, and their Pokemon pulled out from the vault.

"What's in those cases?" Zoey quizzed.

"I'll explain on the way," Devon replied as the heroes left to stop Venjix while Abomosnow and Ben continued to load the arrows into the Ultra Bows, prepping them for transport as well at the right time.

---

A little later, Venjix, true to the commander's words and Grid Battleforce's scanners, reemerged from the Cyber Dimension to finally wreak havoc upon the world and finish what he started in Dr. K's world. The walking computer virus may think he has the Rangers and their allies along with the creatures they viewed as friends and lovable pets he despises beaten but he didn't know that one way or another, even if he were to succeed in taking control of the Morphin Grid and ridding the world of humanity, he was on borrowed time and he could very well meet his end.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! At last, the time has come for my endgame to finally reach its end! The princess and her friends may think their world is beautiful as it is but it and the universe, I feel, will be so much better when I cleanse it of humans!" he cackled as the heroes finally caught up with him.

"It's you that the universe and our world will be better off without!"

"You have no right to take this world nor the universe as your own, Venjix! Not when this world already had those who are lucky enough to call it home, especially after meeting the right people at the right time!" Devon and Sarah spat.

"Haven't you all learned, Princess? Fighting me is futile," Venjix sneered, looking at Sarah and all her friends.

"Your plan is futile, Venjix! The world and the universe were happier and better places for everyone to be in without freakshows like you!"

"That's right!"

"You have the nerve to think that humans don't have a place in this world and the universe! What about the Pokemon, the dragons, all of the animals and creatures that share them with us, do they deserve the same fate?"

"You wouldn't know because you don't care!"

"You only thought about yourself and nobody else!" Ash, Kiawe, Pikachu, Turtonator, and Pyroar snapped back.

"They're nothing but dust in the wind but the likes of creatures such as you who interact with and associate with humans disgusts me! Why is it that you continue to side with the humans rather than show that they're nothing and just stones waiting to be crushed by something far superior to them?" Venjix demanded, wanting to know why the Pokemon and dragons with the heroes don't defy their human companions despite not understanding them fluently.

"That's because of the bonds of friendship and love we all share between us!"

"Everything we do after meeting our human friends is all down to the trust and bonds we share with each other and nobody, not even you, can break them and tear us apart! That shows how far humanity can truly go when they open their hearts to creatures such as us and the Pokemon!" Toothless and Zenna snapped.

"But, how?! Why do you continue to defend those weaklings?!"

"Because you suck and you're weak like a couple of ugly Oran Berry pies, Bad Dude!" Sandy snarled.

"What was that?!" barked Venjix, reeling from being insulted by Sandy even if he couldn't understand Pokemon Speak.

"Your heart is nothing but a digital black hole!"

"You have no compassion or love for everyone and everything around you!"

"That's why you'll lose, somehow, someway!" Primarina, Tsareena, and Snowy shot angrily, infuriating Venjix as he finally realized what the Pokemon and dragons were blabbing on about.

"SILENCE, ALL OF YOU! You'll never understand how weak being with humans let alone being one of them makes you, can you understand how better everything would be when machines rule the world and hold on to beings that only hold you back?!"

"We can understand! Being human from the strength of our friendship and our love for each other, that's what makes us stronger compared to you," Mallow retorted firmly.

"We all have something worth living and fighting for because we're human, being human is better than being a machine any day," Sophocles pointed out in agreement.

"Because we're all human in one way or another, we get to enjoy all of the things that come from being such creatures," Lillie added.

"Fighting you is not futile because we're human and we have each other," remarked Lana, glaring at Evox along with her Partner Pokemon.

"If you just open yourself to the joys being human can bring you including making mistakes and the lessons you learn from them, you'll know that human is a once-in-a-lifetime thing that can never be captured again," Race finished as he, Robbie, and Bella glared with disdain at Venjix for his unchanged hatred and low opinion of humanity as well as everything else tied to the humans.

This flew over the Beast Morphers team's heads as Nate stepped forward and he proudly declared, "I brought you into our world and made you as Evox, Venjix. But, today, on behalf of everyone you dragged and hurt in your sick games as well as Dr. K and the Power Rangers RPM, we're going to destroy you forever, as a team!"

Standing together, with the Viking Teens and their dragons standing behind them and their Pokemon, the two Power Ranger teams morphed into their superhero alter-egos for the last time against Venjix.

"It's Morphin' Time! Activate, Beast Power/Link to Morphin Grid!"

Getting back into their ranger suits, their final mission together officially began as they all stood before Venjix, "Unleash the Beast/Rangers Forever, Defenders Together!"

"Transport!" they all shouted, activating their transporters as Sarah, Race, and their friends were given their own Weapon Transporters prior to the battle, knowing that the same battle tactic of using the Sun Sword, Dragon Blade, and the Poke-X Fury Sabers won't work twice on Venjix.

After activating them, instead of bringing out their usual arsenal, what appeared in their hands were the weapons of the Legendary Rangers (Super Sentai included) including a Cloud Hatchet, a Dino Saber, a Delta Enforcer, the Ninja Super Steel Blaster, a Thermo Blaster, a Magi Staff (Sword Mode), a Deltamax Striker (Patrol Baton, Z/Yellow SPD Ranger), the Turbo Thunder Cannon, the Star Slinger, the Power Axe, Shark Sabers, the Quantum Defender, and a Drive Defender. It was all part of Devon and Sarah's new strategy for hitting Venjix with the new antivirus; it turned out that while Venjix made himself immune to the weapons Grid Battleforce made from the data he stole, he was still vulnerable to other weapons as he didn't have any data on them as well. So, when Devon saw Sarah and her friends and Race fighting against him with the enchanted Bio Lion Talon, the Sun Sword, the Dragon Blade, and the Poke-X Fury Sabers, he realized that they can use the weapons of the Legendary Rangers to damage him and help their friends fight on equal ground at last.

"Ninja Super Steel Blaster!"

"Dino Saber"

"Delta Enforcer!"

"Cloud Hatchet!"

"Thermo Blaster!"

"Magi Staff, Sword Mode!"

"Deltamax Striker, Patrol Baton!"

"Turbo Thunder Cannon!"

"Star Slinger, huh!"

"Power Axe, hah!"

"Hyah, Shark Sabers!"

"Ha! Quantum Defender!"

"Drive Defender, go!"

Evox was shocked as he was witnessing a repeat of one of his previous battle against the rangers in which the Ultra Rescue Rangers were on equal ground with him as he had no data on their weaponry, "What?! Those weapons aren't from Grid Battleforce, either!"

"Right, you missed out on learning about these Legendary Ranger weapons!" Sarah smirked.

"These are the weapons used by our predecessors and with their strength and spirits fighting alongside us this way, we'll see to it that you're finally put down for good!" Race added, readying himself with Z's Patrol Baton.

"See how you like this!" Devon snarked as he, Ravi, Zoey, Sophocles, Ash, Lillie, and Mallow fired their chosen Legendary Ranger weapons on Venjix.

This time, having no data on the Legendary Ranger weapons he's facing off against instead of the usual Grid Battleforce weaponry, Venjix was left wide open in his shock to defend himself and he was greatly damaged and thrown back from the blasts; the Beast Morphers Rangers were finally matching him just as their friends did in their third to last battle before Robo-Blaze's end.

Then, it was time for Phase 2 of Sarah and Devon's plan involving the Legendary Ranger weapons; thanks to Ash, Sophocles, Mallow, Lillie, Devon, Ravi, and Zoey blasting him back, the rangers can prepare the Ultra Bows and the Beast-X King Antivirus Power Bolts which left Sarah, Steel, Nate, Race, Lana, and Kiawe to distract him while set up. Lillie would also join them after she activated her Drive Defender's Sword Mode by holding the handle on the mid-section and pulling the handle back upward, extending a blade that latched onto the end.

As was the case with the Ultra Rescue Rangers prior, the seven rangers using their Legendary Ranger melee weapons were able to deal Venjix a ton of damage as they swung them at the walking computer virus and not stopping their merciless assault, buying Devon, Ravi, Zoey, Ash, Mallow, and Sophocles more than enough time to transport Nate and Sarah's Beast-X King Ultra Bows and prepare to take the shot.

"Transport: Beast-X King Ultra Bow!" Devon and Ash shouted as they and their friends with them all prepared to fire the Beast-X King Antivirus Power Bolts.

"Alright, team, one last shot to end it. You ready, Ash, guys?"

"Ready, Devon!"

"All set!"

"Let's fire while we still can!"

"Steady, wait for it..." Devon called with bated breath before seeing an opening after Sarah and Race dealt him a final double blow before they got out of the way once the arrows are ready to fly. "He's open, fire!"

Together, the six Rangers fired the Ultra Bows and the Antivirus Power Bolts shot forward, the first arrow fired by Devon, Ravi, and Zoey acting as a feint and the other from Ash, Mallow, and Sophocles being the killer arrow as the heroes all hoped. But, as was the case with the RPM Rangers and how much of a hard time he would give them, Venjix swatted away the first arrow as expected as it landed on the grass nearby and when the second arrow landed on him and caused some of his power to be shredded, with the rest of his strength, he withstood it and destroyed it before it could further weaken him.

"Oh, no!"

"He's still standing!" Zoey and Mallow gasped as they and everyone else looked on in shock.

"The old fakeout trick you humans decided to fall back on? Ha, child's play! You foolish Rangers, do you really think you can stop me with simple tricks like that?" Venjix cackled with a snarl as he revived Bulldozertron, Dumbbelltron, Infernotron, and Cycletron and brought in a fleet of Tronics to stop the heroes from coming at him again.

"Uh-oh, he's got backup!" Devon gasped as everybody got ready to fight.

"Are you kiddin' me?!"

"Will you quit cheating and fight fair already?!" the Viking Twins raged angrily at Venjix.

"In battle, according to me, my Viking friends for mutts, there are no rules; only winners and losers, and this time, I'm the winner! Robotrons, Tronics, obliterate the whole lot of them! The Morphin Grid awaits me!" Venjix laughed evilly as the heroes including the Vikings, the dragons, and the Pokemon were all forced to fight the Tronics and more of Ravi, Zoey, Devon, Steel, and Nate's previous enemies while he went off to the interior of Tower 1 and entered the central core. "I can already taste my victory, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Soon, he entered the core room where the flow of Morph-X is located and he hissed in delight at the sight of all the Morph-X he harnessed flowing through the Morphin Grid. Very soon, if the heroes don't stop him and if he succeeds in accessing the Morphin Grid from within the flow, all of humanity and the world before him will be toast and he will be free to finish what he started in Dr. K's world before he was defeated, for real, the first time.

"This is it, the energy of every tower combined at last," he hissed as he entered the flow and cackled as he absorbed the energy, restoring himself and undoing all of the damage done to him again. "With all of the Morph-X I have, I can use it to at last harness the Morphin Grid as my own! Yes, HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

Outside of Tower 1, the Rangers, the Vikings (having managed to draw and/or summon their weapons from Dragon Knight Base), their Pokemon, and the dragons were all continuing to fight the four revived Robotrons and the giant platoon of Tronics (making the whole battle akin to the final fight scene between the Time Force Rangers and Ransik's Cyclobot army). As he fought and took down Cyclotron, Steel noticed the first Beast-X King Antivirus Power Bolt lying on the ground in front of him and a light went off in his head, seeing that it was still intact and useable against Venjix despite the heroes losing the second Power Bolt.

"The antivirus, we can still use it! The first arrow's okay!" he said, grabbing the arrow and making a break for the tower before he was stopped by Dumbbelltron until Sarah stepped in and blocked him, prompting her to see the arrow in his hands.

"Steel! Are you-wait, what are you doing?! That arrow-!" she blurted in shock.

"I know, don't worry, Sarah! I'll be alright! I'm going after Venjix!" he reassured before he scrambled into Tower 1 with the Antivirus Power Bolt at hand.

"STEEL, NO!" Sarah screamed in horror, realizing that Reader's vision of him dying was about to come true.

But, before she could go after him to stop him and subvert Reader's vision pertaining to his fate, she was forced to continue fighting Dumbbelltron before she and everybody else, moments later, were able to finally put an end to Venjix's Robotrons and footsoldiers as they all exploded upon being defeated and grouped together. Of course, there was no time for them to breathe a sigh of relief because not only do the heroes still have to destroy the big daddy virus himself but they also need to save Steel before he ends up making the ultimate sacrifice after some of them noticed him going after Venjix with the Antivirus Power Bolt alone.

"Finally, that's all of them," Devon sighed.

"Sarah, where's Steel?" Astrid asked Sarah, worried for the Silver Ranger.

"He's got our remaining Antivirus Power Bolt and he's going after Venjix himself!" the princess replied, shocking everybody and Nate as he took off his helmet, knowing that they have to rescue his brother.

"We got to help him, come on!" he urged, quickly taking the lead as they all scrambled inside the tower with the Ultra Rescue Rangers still holding onto their Legendary Ranger weapons for safety against their foe.

With Steel himself, he made it inside the tower and reached its central area as well as the core, finding the open doors that showed him where Venjix went off and knowing that with the arrow at hand, he'll have to pull off a Do-or-Die maneuver if he, Nate, and all their friends were save the world from him and his diabolical plan to wipe out all of humanity.

"Here we go," he breathed, bracing himself as he went forward and found the virus in question inside the Morph-X flow from within the core, realizing that he had the whole weight of the world's salvation riding on his shoulders now. "Man, it's all on me!"

Without wasting any time, he ran over to Venjix and tried to get into the flow of Morph-X to use the antivirus on him just as the others arrived in the nick of time and saw what he was doing.

"Don't get any closer, it's too intense!" Nate warned everybody with him as they tried to shield themselves from the power of the Morph-X flowing in.

Being both human and a robot thanks to his mechanical body, his Scarab Beetle DNA, and his brother's human DNA, Steel managed to breach the energy flow and get close enough to Evox. With all of his might and knowing he had to do this for everybody, he plunged the Antivirus Power Bolt into Venjix's back, making him freeze for a moment. To his and everyone else's horror, however, they saw that while the Power Bolt did hit him and just as Reader feared, he ended up absorbing the antivirus and was not affected at all.

Seeing that his enemies' supposed last hope was futile and they had lost, he cackled again as he turned to Steel and mocked, "Foolish Robot Ranger, that merely tickled! Do you really think an amateur trick such as that antivirus can hurt me this time? Well, it's too late for that. Now, say goodbye!"

With a final blast thrown at him, Venjix forced him out of the energy flow and overpowered him despite his best attempts to resist, horrifying Nate and the Noctowl Brothers as they watched him being brutally drained of all his power.

"Steel/**Steel!**" the three of them screamed, terrified as they saw the Silver Ranger finally drained and demorphing, now on his last legs. "NO/**NO**!"

The trio tried to go after him to save him before he could be absorbed but the others held them back, all of them terrified as they watched their dear Beast Bot friend and Silver Ranger being turned into DNA and Venjix slowly absorbing him just as he absorbed the antivirus.

"I, tried my best... I'm sorry...Brother, Brain, Brawn," Steel called feebly, reaching out to the devastated Nate and their equally-heartbroken Noctowls before he shut down and was then absorbed completely by their worst enemy as he cackled.

"NOOOOOOO!" Sarah roared in total horror, seeing her seer's vision involving Steel come true.

"You...YOU MONSTER!"

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!"

"YOU'LL REGRET EVER COMING BACK AFTER ESCAPING YOUR DOOM!"

"YOU TRULY HAVE NO HEART OR SOUL BY KILLING STEEL LIKE THAT!"

"WE'LL MAKE SURE HIS DEATH IS AVENGED!"

"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!" Ash, Ravi, Kiawe, Pikachu, Turtonator, and Pyroar screeched with fury at Venjix, angry tears welling up in their eyes.

"I don't think so, Rangers! Your time is up and I'll make you and all of humanity forever extinct just as I did with the Silver Ranger and the world belonging to my creator before she and her pathetic Power Rangers defeated me for the LAST TIME!" Venjix roared back triumphantly as he fired at the heroes and blasted them all out of the tower, making them demorph on the way down while the Viking Teens and their Pokemon were saved by their dragons.

At that moment, several sedans from Grid Battleforce arrived on the scene with Cruise, Smash, Jax, Solar, Athena, Muriel, and Mayor Daniels along with Lusamine, Reader, Burnet, Kukui, and Gladion (who had been called upon to help deal with Venjix should the going get tough) rushing out to get them back to the base.

"Devon!"

"Are you guys okay?" Muriel and Mayor Daniels asked as they approached them, helping the heroes back on their feet again.

"Not even close, we got to stop Venjix!" Nate stated, still devastated as he tried to get back into the tower as an equally-tearful Sarah and Zoey quickly held him back.

"Nate! Stop, Venjix is too powerful right now! Steel gave it all he got! He'd want us to live on and continue fighting! There's nothing more we can do right now, he wouldn't want us rushing to our deaths, especially you," the little princess pleaded.

"She's right; Old Snake Head will plow through us again if we go back in there."

"We have to get back to base and regroup!" Devon and Hiccup agreed.

"Sarah! What happened to Steel, where is he?" Reader asked Sarah as she joined her, only to get a defeated shake of her head as she realized, "No..."

Zoey could only agree as she tearfully told her crush, "Let's go."

Despite wanting to go back and avenge his brother, Nate knew that the others were right; as they saw before prior to being blasted out of Tower 1, with all of the Morph-X he harnessed after accessing the Morphin Grid, Venjix was too powerful for them to stop. True to form, Reader's vision about Steel making the ultimate sacrifice had come true and he realized that there was nothing else he and everybody else could've done to prevent it despite their best efforts and if he did die, Steel would've wanted him to live on and help his friends and Grid Battleforce figure out a new way to stop Venjix and destroy him. After a short moment of mental debating with himself, he relented and they all made their way back to the base, the loss of steel as Reader's vision foretold leaving everybody feeling hollow and unsure of what to do now.

---

At Grid Battleforce HQ, in the storage room, once the heroes had been brought back and taken all the time they needed to recover so they'll eventually break the bad news to the entire crew, everybody is making additional preparations in the operation to destroy Venjix with the Beast Bots pitching in to help in whatever ways they can.

"Thank you, report back when you can," Commander Shaw thanked a worker just as the heroes entered, all of them having debated and are ready to break the bad news over the loss of Steel.

"Hey, guys. Where's Steel?" Ben asked once he and Betty saw them, trying to remain optimistic.

The heroes looked at each other with broken and devasted looks, knowing that they can't hold back any longer regarding his death. Devon looked especially conflicted on how to put it gently to everybody involved until he felt a soft and reassuring hand on his right shoulder and saw Sarah, giving him a sympathetic and understanding frown. He nodded and allowed her to tell them, knowing that she'd be the one to tell everybody and not beat around the bush.

"Steel... He's dead, Venjix killed and absorbed him after he absorbed the antivirus," she replied softly and sadly, getting straight to the point as everybody within earshot stopped and looked at her and the heroes, looking shocked and devastated before she turned to Commander Shaw. "Commander, may I...?"

Commander Shaw nodded, handing her a microphone to allow her to break the bad news, a look of loss and sadness for Steel's defeat at Venjix's hands in her eyes.

"Everyone, ladies and gentlemen of Grid Battleforce, hear me now. This is Princess Sarah Tomoe of Alola, Solagleo Ranger and leader of the Power Rangers Ultra Rescue... Today, our team of thirteen Power Rangers just recently, went up against Venjix after he appeared near Tower 1. When no one else could, as he did everything in his power to try and stop us from destroying him and putting his place for humanity's end on thin ice, Steel, the Silver Ranger and Nate's Beast Bot Brother, he rose up to fight him alone but he made the ultimate sacrifice in the process. Now, he's gone; after killing and absorbing him, Venjix remains in Tower 1 gaining more strength from all of the Morph-X he's absorbing. I understand how hard you all worked, we all do, but he's put us at an impasse with Steel's death and our teams officially down one ranger. With everything he's done, it's time for Grid Battleforce to evacuate Coral Harbor. But, rest assured; the Power Rangers will stay and fight and destroy Venjix, if we can... I thank you, on behalf of my family and all of us..."

Sarah had to stop in order to hold her tears, knowing that she, her friends, Devon, Nate, Ravi, Zoey, the Viking Teens, their Pokemon, and the dragons will all have a long and hard battle to finish once they make their way out into the field again and take on Venjix again.

There was a long silence between everybody after the news of Steel's loss and the possibility of Grid Battleforce's evacuation were broken until, eventually...

"No," Gladion replied, catching everybody's attention as he gave a determined glare and spoke up. "If you, Lillie, and all our friends are planning to fight this Venjix alone, Sarah, I'll stay and fight alongside you. I can't let that monster take you all away from me, especially after I promised Father that I'd bring Lillie home safely once we heard the news of Coral Harbor's evacuation. Count me in, I'd be honored to take Steel's place until you all bring him back somehow."

"Gladion..." Sarah breathed in awe before she smiled warmly as tears of joy started welling up in her eyes.

Even Lillie couldn't help feeling the same as she went over to her brother and he gave her a determined smile and nod, allowing her to hug him and know that he and his Pokemon got her and her friends' backs as long as he can help bring everybody on his end back home safely.

"We won't evacuate."

"Us Burkes never back down," Betty and Ben added reassuringly, promising to fight as well and getting thankful smiles from the heroes.

"You know what? Us Beast Bots are staying, too," Cruise added as he, Solar, Jax, Smash, and Athena came forward.

"You think we're gonna give up after Steel died doing what he thought was right? You're wrong, Sarah."

"Yeah, not a chance we'd leave!"

"Just in case anybody needs a hug."

" It's our turn to return the favor. We won't let his sacrifice be in vain!"

"Zord Maintenance will stay," a maintenance worker replied determinedly, inspired by the rangers' drive to fight and win for everybody and their entire world as well as the universe.

"Rangers, Princess," a worker from the Command Room called via a computer monitor along with several more inspired and determined employees who want to help see the heroes' final battle with Venjix end in the salvation of the world. "The Command Room is with you and your friends."

"We're not going anywhere."

"You count on us."

"We're not leaving."

"I'm not gonna leave."

"We will stay and fight."

As they listened to all of the other Grid Battleforce employees voicing their opinions to stay and help them all fight in honor of Steel's sacrifice, his memory, and his honor in battle, Devon, Sarah, and the others couldn't help be feel happy that they got so many friends with them to help them turn the tide of war against Venjix despite the odds that are against them. Their faith, belief, and trust in them were able to pull them out of the gutter of despair they found themselves in and even the proud and approving nods of Mayor Daniels and Muriel were more than enough for them to become inspired to defeat Venjix for good.

A newfound wave of confidence, determination, and inspiration flowing through her, Sarah took a deep breath and vowed, "Thank you, everybody. Your trust, your faith, your belief in us, that's what'll keep us going and with all of you getting our backs, I'm sure we'll end Venjix, once and for all. Today, here and now, we'll crush him and take back our world before he can destroy it and all of us as well... For Steel!"

"FOR STEEL!" everybody echoed, cheering proudly and ready to continue the fight one last time before the alarm went off again.

Everybody realized what was happening as the worker from the Command Room immediately reported, "Commander, the sky's gone dark. Something's happening to Tower 1!"

She then pulled up an image feed of Tower 1 as it glowed a menacing red; as he finally absorbed all of the Morph-X he could ever want and harnessed the Morphin Grid to his deadly potential, Venjix was ready to unleash his wrath upon the world as he took Tower 1 as a new body and turned it into a Gigadrone that stood 50 times the size of all of the Gigadrones the Beast Morphers team all faced including his Omegadrone.

"What's Venjix's doing?"

"The tower, it's changing shape."

"He's turning it into a Gigadrone!"

"He's not just turned it into a Gigadrone, he is the new Gigadrone!" Zenna, Astrid, Snotlout, and Fishlegs gasped, stunned.

"He's harnessing the Grid's energy..."

"So, that beast is how he plans to eradicate all human life," Nate and Devon breathed.

"Not if we have anything to say about it!"

"He's asking for it!" Ash and Pikachu growled determinedly.

"Ash is right; Venjix may be bigger and stronger now that he's a Gigadrone himself but he's not invincible. If he thinks he can use the Morphin Grid for evil and destroy humanity a second time, he's got us to answer to," Kiawe agreed, ready to put Venjix down forever.

"Whatever weakness he has that not even the antivirus can touch, we'll find it and we'll use it to take the fight to him, big time!" added Sophocles, not backing down.

"Yeah, he's underestimating us humans and creatures again and he's going to pay for everything he did."

"He won't get very far."

"It's up to all of us and no matter what happens, we'll stand united against his power!" Mallow, Lana, and Lillie nodded determinedly.

"I'm ready to do my part as well," Gladion remarked, determined to help his family, friends, and new allies end the threat before them.

"It's time we put an end to this metal madness once and for all... You hear that, Venjix? We're all coming for you!" Sarah vowed, assuring Venjix that he'll finally be dead by the heroes' hands and that the world and the universe will be safe from his power, forever.

"Battle stations! Prep the Ultrazord!"

"Transport the Mini Zords from Adventure City to Coral Harbor! We want all hands on deck to prepare for our final battle against Venjix, stat! "Commander Shaw and Lusamine alerted everybody within the Aether Foundation and Grid Battleforce as everybody got to work as quickly as they could.

"But, wait! If you're all going into the Ultrazord and the Mini Zords, who's going to man the BioZords and King in the meantime?" Hiccup asked before Sarah looked at the Viking Teens and their dragons and smiled before pointing at them, all of them blinking in shock as they looked between her and each other.

"We don't have time to train you guys in Zord driving right now so this battle will have to be a crash course for all of you. But, since you've seen our dinosaurs in battle as well as the BioZords when they handled Robo-Roxy and the Omegadrone, it shouldn't be too hard or you to operate them. Their systems are all connected to my and Race's Dino Bracers and Dino Gadgets and they all use the same moves their real counterparts use, you'll know what to do once you're inside their cockpits."

"Commander, do you mind?" Hiccup asked Commander Shaw as she gave her approval upon the heroes' arrival at the Zord Hanger, knowing they'll need everybody's help in ending Venjix's reign of terror.

"You all, your Pokemon, and your dragons are welcome to help them out; you've been a big help to us ever since we first captured Venjix when he was still Evox. I'm sure your assistance will be invaluable on the field regarding the BioZords."

Sarah thanked Commander Shaw before she turned to the teens and their dragons, deciding who, among them, gets to pilot which Zords she and Race have on them, "Okay, while Ravi, Devon, Nate, and Zoey handle the Ultrazord, here's what we'll do; Ruffnut, Tuffnut, you two will pilot Para and Maya. Zenna, I'll need you to pilot Kui since they'll be using the same Grass Type Moves their counterparts are capable of. But, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, I'll need you three to operate them as a fully-assembled Megazord so she'll keep an eye on you; I can't have you two fighting over Barf and Belch in the middle of our battle since they're still two dragons in one with their two heads."

"Yeah!"

"Thanks, kid! Bring it on!"

"We're with you!"

"Conssssssider it done!"

"We're ready!" nodded the twins, Barf, Belch, Ruffnut's Seviper, and Zangoose, the former two banging their helmets together eagerly.

"We're ready, Sarah!"

"I've always wanted to ride a giant robot!"

"Let's go!" Zenna, Kaulu, and Stryka nodded, eager to roll as well.

"Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs, you three man the Mezodonzord and the Triassic Runner along with Carno, and Chasa, for now."

"You got it!"

"No problem!"

"Viking's honor!" Hiccup, Astrid, and Fishlegs saluted.

"That Venjix is history!"

"He picked a fight with the wrong humans, Pokemon, and dragons today!"

"He's going down!"

"Yeah, let's go!"

"Sweet!"

"Best day ever!" Toothless, Stormfly, Meatlug, Loki, Axew, and Dratini concurred, the three younger Pokemon being more excited over the process of riding a Zord compared to the former three.

Snotlout, Hookfang, and Deino became excited as they realized that with their friends manning the BioZords, King is the only one left for them to drive and now was their chance to get to know what it's like to drive him in rah's shoes.

"Hey, Sarah, you won't mind if I take over driving King for our fight, do you?" he tried to swoon as he gave off a cheeky smirk despite King's insecurities as it narrowed its eyes at the Jorgenson-like boy, almost as if it can sense his streak of recklessness wreaking off of him.

"Uh, Snotlout, I don't think King would take too kindly about anybody else besides Sarah piloting him," Solar replied, feeling a little anxious for the Beast-X King Zord after seeing how tense it is over somebody else besides its intended pilot driving it.

"Hah, don't sweat it, Big Cat! I won't pull a plug or anything like that, he won't blow up with me behind the wheel," Snotlout said coolly as King then started to growl at him.

"Hey! Hey, King, take it easy! Calm down, will ya?" Sarah called to her Zord, getting its attention as she smiled warmly at it.

"King, I know you're scared about somebody else besides me driving you but you have to trust me; if you help us fight with a new driver apart from me, and as long as you have Solar with you, it'll prove that you're the best Zord we ever had and that'll be the best praise I can get with you. What do you say, buddy? Will you do it for me?"

King purred a robotic sigh but knowing that they have to stop Venjix and seeing that there was no other way, the Beast-X King Zord agreed, giving its reluctant approval to have Snotlout join it and Solar in its cockpit and drive it.

"Sweet! Let's rock!" Snotlout cheered as they prepared to get into the Zords.

"Rangers, children! Venjix is made out of pure data and energy and his strength comes from those two things, nothing more. However, you're strong and so are your Pokemon and the dragons...because you're all human. You fight for each other and the world," Commander Shaw informed before the heroes could begin their final assault.

"Yes, Venjix only fights for himself because he doesn't understand the human heart nor has the capacity to love and have compassion. You all have something worth fighting and living for and that will make the difference between you all and him. If you can remember that, there's a chance Venjix will be destroyed forever and never come back," agreed Reader, steeling herself as well.

"Thanks, Commander, Reader. We'll remember," Sarah nodded along with the others as they rushed into the Zords, ready to begin their final battle to ensure the safety of the world from Venjix's wrath, once and for all.

---

"It's been a long time since I've taken out a civilization, especially one where the humans continued to defy me despite their best efforts! Now, where to begin?" Venjix hissed with delight as he wondered what he should destroy first before he was halted by the Beast-X Ultrazord, the Ultra PAW Megazord, King (in Lion Mode), the Mezodonzord and the newly-named Ultra Triassic Runner, Carno, and Chasa as the latter two and King gave challenging roars towards the Gigadrone Virus.

"Not so fast, Venjix!"

"You'll have to go through all of us first!"

"It ends here, Venjix! You may have beaten us last time after you took out Steel but we're not going to take his death lying down!" Nate, Ravi, and Sarah rebutted, the heroes ready to fight again.

"Can you, after the beating I've given you? You obviously got a lot of fighting spirit still left in you if you think you can gang on me like that. If you think you can handle my power before, then feel my new and improved wrath!" Venjix laughed smugly as he then eyed the heroes (after reconfiguring his head so he'd face them and revel in seeing them being killed) before he fired several powerful laser blasts that struck everybody as they either withstood or were forced to dodge the blasts, taking damage as they did so while they all let out pained grunts and startled screams and their cockpits sparked.

"Look out!"

"He's hitting us with everything he's got!"

"He's really that powerful now?!"

"Hang on!"

"Don't give up, everybody!"

"DAGH! He's, not so tough, ugh!" Ash, Zenna, Tuffnut, Hiccup, Lillie, and Snotlout shouted as they and the others braced themselves.

"We're going down!"

"Brace yourselves!" Sarah and Race warned as they were all knocked down and Venjix laughed smugly from the hits they took from his first assault.

"That wasn't even my full power but as I unleash my full strength on all of you, I'll enjoy defeating you seamlessly just as I did with your robot friend! And, that includes you, too, my little lion, for you will finally pay for your betrayal!" he cackled, directing his next comment toward Solar as he stared at King.

"Who said Steel and Solar were all robot?!" snapped Astrid at Venjix, not the insult towards Solar and Steel lying down.

"You don't know anything about me or Steel, Venjix, 'cause us being robots is all you ever know!"

"They're right! Steel and Solar weren't all robots, they were half-human, too!"

"They became human because of us and the same can be said for Athena! They were able to last this long until you killed Steel because they were human through all of us!" Solar, Nate, and Race (with Athena joining him and the others in the Ultra PAW Megazord) defended fiercely.

"Being human makes you all weak compared to me!"

"No, but Mom and Reader said that being human makes us strong!" Ravi retorted defiantly, refuting Venjix's words.

Suddenly, a light immediately went off in Nate's head as he remembered the time when Venjix (as Evox) tried to get into Steel's body one time but failed and put two and two together regarding Commander Shaw's earlier words as well as what Reader was trying to tell everyone regarding the other way in which they can finally kill off the walking computer virus.

"Exactly, exactly! Sarah, guys, remember when we told you all about the time when Venjix tried to get inside Steel's body?" Nate called Sarah and her friends.

Zoey heard this and she also remembered clearly how weak Venjix was when touched with human DNA, "Yeah, he couldn't handle his human DNA!"

"I get it; Venjix is made out of pure energy and computer data and what he sees as inferior including our human DNA makes him weaker!" Sarah gasped in realization.

"That's right; you guys also told us this to us after the Rangers gave you an update regarding your fights against him!" Astrid added, remembering what she and her friends were all told when they heard about what happened to the Beast Morphers Rangers during their adventures.

"Plus, being in my dad's body really messed him up," Devon recalled, knowing exactly what the others are saying as he remembered the time when Venjix tried to use Mayor Daniels as a hostage to get the Morph-X before he saved him using some Dino Charge technology called Split Emitters.

"Ingenius; if he can't stand human DNA, that's our greatest weapon!"

"So, that must be his weakness! It's what Reader was trying to tell us all along!" Gladion and Ravi breathed in awe at the idea.

"That means we have to fight this big hulking computer virus with human DNA, by our human bodies, hearts, and spirits!" Hiccup nodded.

"Affirmative! If we can somehow direct the Morph-X to flow through our bodies, our attacks will all be infused with human DNA!" Nate confirmed.

"It's risky but we gotta try it!"

"Totally! Anything's worth it, Four-Eyes!" Devon and Snotlout nodded with Incineroar, Deino, and Hookfang giving knowing nods.

"Coming to your cockpit, Snotlout!" Nate informed as he and the Noctowl Brothers, Brain and Brawn, left his cockpit in the Beast-X Ultrazord and joined Snotlout, Deino, and Hookfang in King's cockpit as he set to work on tweaking and reconfiguring the Zords' systems to have the Morph-X flow through everybody's bodies. "Okay, since the Zords are all connected through the Morphin Grid thanks to Sarah's magic flowing through King after his Ultra Sunne Mode was activated and the Morph-X from it touched the other Zords, I'll have to reroute the Morph-X energy circuitry. It'll take a little time so let's hold out until I'm done."

"Hey! Watch what you're tweaking in the box, Nate! My Nebby Mode better not be scrambled with your tinkering with the wires!" Solar pouted as he watched Nate begin to reconfigure the Morph-X flow.

"Ravi, Gladion, and I will charge the main weapons on our end," Zoey informed.

"Give us the signal when you're ready and we'll attack," Gladion nodded from Steel's cockpit.

"We'll charge our main weapons, too!"

"I'll try and reroute the Morph-X energy circuitry here, too, so the Morph-X will flow through us as well!" Lana and Sophocles concurred as the latter opened the power box and started to reconfigure the Morph-X flow in their group's Megazord, too.

But, Venjix isn't going to let them off easily as he fired another round of energy blasts at the BioZords, the Ultra PAW Megazord, King, and the Beast-X Ultrazord, rocking everybody inside their cockpits as they sparked and gave off small explosions once more.

"Hey, Nate, Soph, I hope you guys are finished with the Morph-X flows right now!"

"We're not gonna last much longer!" Sarah and Devon called.

"We'll take him on!"

"Yeah, he's no match for us!"

"Let's go, everybody! Attack!" Tuffnut, Ruffnut, and Zenna cried, taking action.

Para, Maya, and Fuki threw challenging roars at Venjix as they, their drivers, Carno, Chasa, Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs, their Pokemon, the dragons, and the Mezodonzord with the Ultra Triassic Runner attached to it joined forces.

"Hmph, what can these little prehistoric bugs do to me when I have all of the power I could ever want from the Morph-X flowing through me?" Venjix scoffed.

"A lot more than you'll ever know, Venjix!" Sarah called from the Ultra PAW Megazord before she looked at the Viking Teens and their entire party. "Guys, now! Combine the BioZords!"

"You got it!" Zenna nodded.

"Right! Come on, guys!" Hiccup agreed before he called their friends with them.

"Yeah!" the other Viking Teens in the other BioZords shouted in agreement before they all yelled, "Combine powers!"

"Okay, Hiccup! You man the Mezodonzord and his Triassic Rover, use the Shield of Triumph's full power to activate his Mezodon Megazord!"

"Got it! Ready, buddy, Mezodonzord?" Hiccup nodded as he tapped into the Shield of Triump's power (having been given it so he and Toothless could pilot the Mezodonzord and the Triassic Rover) and Toothless and the Mezodonzord gave affirmative roars and warbles. "Ready! Mezodon Megazord, activate!"

Combining Para, Maya, and Fuki along with Carno and Chasa and the Mezodonzord and the Triassic Rover, the Viking Teens and their Pokemon and dragons piloting them recreated the Replicantzord (one that fights for good instead of evil) and the Mezodon Megazord while also creating a new Megazord from the first three BioZords akin to the Thundermax Megazord with Para's legs, her head, and her tail acting as the main body and left arm called the Para Drill, Maya acting as the Megazord's right arm, and Fuki clipping onto its waist like a belt while a humanoid head appeared at the top.

Sarah and Race could hardly believe it as they smiled at the sight of the three DinoThunder-inspired Megazords, "Alright, they worked! They really worked!"

"Smooth work, guys!"

"Thanks, now let's take this puppy down while you're all working on that Morph-X flow!" Zenna thanked before she and her party went first to deal the first blow to Venjix. "This is what you get for messing with us and killing off one of our friends! Ruffnut, Tuffnut, take him down!"

"Right! Ability, Activate: Emerald Green!" the twins nodded as they brought out the Emerald Green Move Cards from the Dino Gadgets on their control stations on their right and slashed them through the Dino Bracers next to them.

The new Beast-X Paramax Megazord used Emerald Green onto Venjix as it glowed green from the combined power of both Move Cards and they fired at the giant Gigadrone Virus, proceeding to drain him of his energy.

"DAGH! What are you doing, my energy! Stop that!" he howled in pain before he fired his lasers at the new Megazord but was stopped by Hiccup, Incineroar, and Toothless as they got in the way and tanked the blasts.

"Hey, over here, Computer Crasher!" Astrid mocked, getting the irked Venjix's attention as he turned to the Replicantzord and turned his laser blasts on her, Axew, Dratini, Stormfly, Fishlegs, and Meatlug, giving them a chance to defend and counter. "Okay, Fishlegs, our turn. Follow my lead. Plasma Anchor, now!"

"R-Right, you got it, Astrid! I'm ready!" Fishlegs nodded, fighting his anxiety as he steeled himself, and the Replicantzord's horns on its Chasmosaurus shield sparked with electricity before it whipped it forward, shooting a grappling hook made out of lightning to stab at Venjix.

Venjix grunted in disgust as it sparked where it had struck him but Fishlegs and Astrid were not done yet as they motioned for Chasa and Carno in their combined form to lift him up and trip him up a bit which proved painful as the motions greatly sparked the grappling hook still attached to him and shocked the virus.

"RAGH! You puny humans and your pets are really starting to annoy me! I'll make sure that every last one of you is sent to the junkyard!"

"Not on your life, Venjix! Defense Burst, activate!" Fishlegs retorted, activating a Normal Move Card as the Replicantzord halted Venjix's latest assault with its shield and used Carno's Drill Sword tail to direct the lasers back at Venjix, striking him and making him yell in pain from his own attacks being thrown back at him.

"My turn, baby! Fireball blitz, YEAH!" Snotlout roared proudly, his excitement over driving King taking him over as he pulled the right handle back via a circular rev the Beast-X King Zord fired a flurry of fireballs that struck the Gigadrone and knocked it back while Nate continued to reconfigure the Morph-X flow through the Beast Morphers Zords.

"Okay, Astrid, your turn! We'll follow through with the Mezodon Megazord!" Hiccup informed his Viking crush.

"You got it! Ability, Activate: Hurricane Beat!" Astrid nodded, activating a Wind Move Card as the Replicantzord fired a pair of cyclones running at hurricane-force winds from its Drill Zord and sent them hurtling toward Venjix, making him roar in pain again before he was lifted slightly into the air.

"RARH! What's this!? Put me down!? PUT ME DOWN!" Venjix demanded.

"Oh, is that all you want? Mezodon Megazord, Hatchet Attack!" Hiccup called as he commanded the Mezodon Megazord to use one of its finishers, Hatchet Attack, as it charged the two golden hatchets it held its hands and tossed them like two massive boomerangs into Venjix's Gigadrone chest area, making him scream in pain once more as two large scars were inflicted in the middle of his chest before he was dropped back down. "Hey, guys, are you done up there? I think it's about time we say goodbye to old Buzz Face!"

"We're all set, Hiccup! I've managed to boost the power of our weapons from the Wrecker and Jet Zords on our end. They're offline so we'll need another formation here," Nate informed.

"Alright. Snotlout, Solar, we'll need you and King to combine with us!" Devon said.

"But, what about the Racer Zord?" Solar objected.

"It's okay, we'll just need its saber when you're combined with us," Devon reassured.

"Don't worry, Solar! The Racer Zord's systems have been tweaked earlier so it can function as additional armor for you along with the Chopper and Wheeler Zords, our power levels should be sufficient enough for this combo we'll be doing even if it is out of left field! We'll only do this for our final attack against Venjix, do you trust us?" Cruise agreed reassuringly to his fellow Beast Bot, placing his full trust in the others, their entire group, Devon, and him.

"...I do," Solar nodded.

"Good boy," smirked Snotlout, giving him a pat.

"Here goes! Beast-X King Megazord, combine!" Devon shouted, commencing the transformation as the Beast-X Ultrazord separated and the Wrecker and Jet Zords were returned to base, leaving the Racer, Chopper, and Wheeler Zords to combine with King and the Racer Zord (true to his and Cruise's words to Solar) being configured to additional armor with its saber at hand in its upgraded form. "Beast-X King Megazord, unleashed!"

"Okay, guys, we're all set! Our Morph-X flow is reconfigured and we're ready for the final push!" Sophocles smirked, having finished tweaking the Ultra PAW Megazord's Morph-X circuitry to have the Morph-X flow through his and his team's bodies as well.

"Good job, Sophocles!"

"Yeah!"

"You rock!" Ash, Mallow, and Lana cheered.

"Nice work, Sophocles! Brace yourselves, everybody, the Morph-X is about to flow through us," Nate concurred as he held onto Sophocles' shoulders in King's cockpit while the Morph-X began seeping through their, Gladion (joining Devon in the Racer Zord cockpit and holding onto his shoulders), Devon, Ravi, and Zoey's bodies which looked a little painful as they strained to withstand its power.

"It's time! Attack!" Devon roared, seeing their opportunity as the Beast-X King Megazord drove through the next round of blasts Venjix unleashed before they finally struck him but...

"WHAT?!" Venjix balked.

The remaining Beast Morphers Rangers, Gladion, Solar, and Snotlout managed to strike Venjix where Hiccup, Toothless, Incineroar, and the Mezodon Megazord struck him at his chest with the Beast-X King Megazord's saber but stunningly, at first, it didn't penetrate his armor completely.

"We didn't penetrate that monster's armor!" grunted Gladion painfully as he and Devon strained to continue to withstand the Morph-X continuing to flow through their bodies.

"Then, we know what we have to do!" Ravi added, feeling the same way as he strained himself.

"Give it everything we got!" groaned Zoey, also straining to not fall to the Morph-X Power.

"This one's for our good buddy, Steel, you creep!" roared Snotlout as he and Nate braced themselves under the Morph-X's power with the Pokemon gathered (including Lycanroc and Umbreon as Silvally was too big to fit in Devon's cockpit) in the Megazord also pushing themselves to help their friends as they groaned and strained after coming into contact with their Morph-X-infused bodies.

"Let's give them a hand!" Fishlegs shouted to the others as they watched Venjix roaring and howling in pain as he tried and failed to resist Morph-X-infused human DNA flowing through their friends and into their strike.

"Yeah, let's gang up on him!"

"Hit 'im again!" Tuffnut and Ruffnut agreed as they and the others along with the BioZords they're piloting struck Venjix, dealing him more damage than ever as he struggled to withstand the onslaught of attacks adding to Devon, Gladion, Snotlout, Ravi, Nate, Zoey, and Solar's assault.

"Okay, guys, the Morph-X is flowing through us! It's time to put an end to Venjix's story, now and forevermore!" Sarah shouted to her friends and Race as the Morph-X from their Megazord flowed through their own bodies. "Now, let's put every last bit of our human emotions and our love and friendship together in our final strike against Venjix!"

"Right!" her team agreed as they all shouted, "POWER SWORD, RAGING TORRENT!"

Screaming with all their might, the Ultra Rescue Rangers operated their Megazord with one final ferocious effort as they struck Venjix with their human DNA and Morph-X-infused Power Sword as they cleaved at him, allowing the supercharged human-DNA-infused Beast-X King Megazord and its drivers to dig their saber in deeper which did even more damage to him and destroyed him faster than he can repair himself with the Morph-X he stole and harnessed.

"No! It can't be! Human DNA!" Venjix cried in alarm and pain as he couldn't take in the amount of Human DNA seeping into him and making him vulnerable to all of the attacks the Power Rangers, the Viking Teens, the dragons, and their Pokemon were throwing at him without mercy until it all became too much for him to take. "DAAAAGGGHHH! IT'S CORRUPTING MY SYSTEMS!"

"IT'S TIME FOR YOUR TERROR TO END, *MASTER VENJIX*!" Solar roared finally as everybody screamed vigorously as they put all of their combined strength into their last attacks and they all struck Venjix one final time with Devon, Sarah, Race, Mallow, Zoey, Kiawe, Lana, Ravi, Ash, Sophocles, Gladion, Nate, Lillie, Snotlout, and the Lion Beast Bot dealing the final blow as they cleaved through him and drove the Beast-X Saber deep enough to shatter his entire Gigadrone body.

"AAAAAGGGGHHHHHH! CURSE YOU, POWER RANGEEEEEEEEEEEERS!" Venjix shrieked one final time before he finally exploded and the heroes were all thrown back from the blast as they shielded themselves, officially putting an end to the lingering threat of Venjix, forever.

"I don't see him anywhere! Is he gone?" Astrid asked, finally looking around and seeing no trace of Venjix anywhere let alone his Evox form.

"Sure looks like it!"

"Wow, I can't believe it!" Zenna and Hiccup gasped in awe and amazement as everybody realized that they finally defeated him.

"We, we did it!" Nate gasped.

"...It's over," Gladion added, amazed.

"He's gone, he's finally dead!" Sarah agreed.

"...Evox/Venjix, eliminated!" Devon confirmed as the heroes, the dragons, and the Pokemon all gave hearty cheers, roars, and warbles as they finally celebrated the end of Venjix and every last one of his forces, both past and present.

Later, as the dust settled and the skies are becoming clear again, everybody went out of the Megazords as the Power Rangers demorphed. As they walked along the remains of Venjix and his Gigadrone body as they slowly walked about to soak in their victory and the revelation that the war against him is finally over, they saw traces of the Morph-X he had harnessed and stolen floating up and around them as the Morph-X returned to its rightful place: the Morphin Grid.

"Well, that's the end of Venjix or Evox."

"And, I won't miss him or his Robotrons a bit."

"There's still the matter of Scrozzle, what happened to him after he accessed the Global Tower Network?" Ravi, Mallow, and Sophocles bantered, the latter wondering what became of Venjix's mechanic.

"I'm sure he's hiding out somewhere; our finally beating Big Daddy Virus sent him running like a big baby. I doubt he'd make any more trouble for all of us after what we've done but if he does show up, we'll find him," Sarah reassured.

"What's all this, Nate?" Hiccup asked the Gold Ranger, seeing the Morph-X returning to the Morphin Grid.

"I think that's the Morph-X, returning to the Morphin Grid," he replied solemnly, remembering what became of Steel after he was absorbed by Venjix/Evox.

However, the retrieval of the Morph-X coupled with its return to the Grid the official end of Venjix wouldn't be the only rewarding thing the heroes would get out of their final battle with him because a big surprise was in store for them as the Morphin Grid had something that it felt the need to return to them but with one big difference.

"Guys... What's that?" Astrid asked, pointing everyone to a spot of blue light appearing in front of them as the last traces of Morph-X swirled around it.

Inside the ball of light, everyone was shocked and stunned to see it and the Morph-X form into what looked like Steel reappearing before their eyes.

"Wait a minute...!"

"Is that-?"

"Steel!"

"Is that you?" Ash, Fishlegs, Pikachu, and Meatlug gasped, hoping that what they were seeing is no illusion.

"That's impossible..." breathed Nate, full of shocked relief and elation as the light sphere his Beast Bot brother was in continued to glow before he was changed right before their eyes, turning into a full-blown human.

The heroes, dragons, and Pokemon were also shocked and amazed by what the Morphin Grid had done to him after bringing him back; it turned out that after recognizing the sacrifice he made to save everybody as well as his courage, strength, honor, his friendship with the others, and his family love for his human brother, when Venjix was finally destroyed and the Morph-X was back where it rightly belonged, it decided to return him to them but also grant his wish for him to become fully human (also recognizing that despite being a robot back then, he gained a human heart of gold through Nate after bonding with him in their Ranger debut).

Now fully human and no longer a Beast Bot, Steel is the same size and age as Nate with a clear skin tone but he is now wearing a black sweatshirt with silver decals including a large silver horizontal stripe in the chest area and a silver hoodie, blue jeans, white sneakers, and sleek black hair but no glasses on his head.

"Holy shields...!"

"Steel!?"

"Is it really you, man?!"

"He's back, he's really back!"

"Oh, my!"

"Unreal..."

"Thor, catch me..."

"Holy sweet Naganadel...!" Zenna, Stryka, Toothless, Blitz, Bella, Snotlout, Fishlegs, and Duke breathed, speechless.

"I can't believe it...!"

"Partner, you're really...?"

"Are you...are you really-?" Nate and the Noctowl Brothers peeped, trying to control themselves and their overwhelming joy but failing.

"Hey, guys! It's me, Steel!" Steel called happily, waving his right human hand to the others before he saw himself and felt his face in surprise, realizing that he is finally fully human and not by his DNA alone anymore. "Uh, hold on a second... I'm human!"

Now, nobody amongst the heroes gathered knew it at the time but not only did the Morphin Grid revive Steel and make him human but it was all due in part to one of the legendary Morphin Masters (the Keepers of the Morphin Grid and the creator of many of the Power Ranger teams' powers and the ones responsible for the creation of the Power Rangers Dino Fury), Master Green, who revived Steel after she recognized his sacrifice herself (someone and something that Zayto and his friends, in their own adventures beforehand, would learn until their own meeting with her sometime later).

"STEEL/STEEL/PARTNER!" Nate and the Noctowl Brothers cheered, rushing and flying over to Steel as the boy genius hugged his now-human and revived brother happily and Brain and Brawn nuzzled him happily with the latter settling atop his left shoulder (the Silver Ranger returning the hug as well, relieved to be with his family and friends again).

As the others joined them in overjoyed elation, Nate let him go and looked him over, realizing what the Morphin Grid did with him and the Morph-X as he happily deducted, "The Grid must've had enough energy to do what I couldn't! ...Phenomenal! IT MADE YOU HUMAN!"

Realizing what it and Nate meant, Steel wanted to be sure that his transformation was permanent as he asked his genius brother and held his shoulders, "Are you sure? This is, for more than just one day?"

"The Morphin Grid did it, it's forever," Devon grinned in response.

"Even I know better than to question how it did what it did. Congratulations, Steel, you're now fully human for the rest of your life i.e. your brave sacrifice is not the end of your story," Sarah praised, smiling warmly at the now-human Steel.

The news that his human transformation is forever on account of his ultimate sacrifice (and Master Green recognizing it, unbeknownst to everyone gathered and him) filled Steel with nothing but joy as he looked around the area and moved his now-human body with overwhelming happiness. Ever since he was integrated into human society following his surprise and impromptu arrival in his team's early days and his brief time in Nate's body after Venjix and his Robotron's unexpected Freaky Friday switcharoo between them, he had always dreamed of what it would be like to be fully human and enjoying all of the great things humans like Nate can do that a Beast Bot (as he originally was) wouldn't do.

It was all he ever wanted as he could only give his first-ever human smile at its brightest. "Finally... I really am human!" he exclaimed as he and everybody else gathered for a group hug,

---

All too soon, after reporting and confirming the end of Venjix/Evox and the return of Steel to all of Grid Battleforce and everybody else with them, it was time for Sarah and her entire party to leave for home. Everyone was shocked and amazed to see Steel being brought back to life and now fully human (still not knowing of Master Green's valiant and kind-hearted intervention) and a big celebration was held to celebrate not only Evox's destruction but also the Silver Ranger's return to the Grid Battleforce team and family.

Feeling like they deserve to have a celebration of their own back in Alola and wanting to break the news of Evox's end and Steel's return to their own families and friends, the Power Rangers Ultra Rescue decided to return home and to their normal lives until they are needed once again. After taking some time to join them for the party at Grid Battleforce, Devon, Steel, Ravi, Nate, Zoey, Commander Shaw, Mayor Daniels, Muriel, and everybody else in GB decided to see them off and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors and the upcoming Pokemon League.

"Excellent work, Rangers, all of you and your friends. Thanks to your efforts and your sacrifices, Venjix is gone for good. You've fought bravely ever since you first came to be Rangers and true heroes and now, with Venjix destroyed, Coral Harbor and the entire world and universe are all in your debt," Commander Shaw praised proudly.

"Thanks, Commander,"

"Commander Shaw, Mayor, Mr. Reeves, everybody, thank you for everything you've done. And, many humble congratulations to you all on completing your mission," Lusamine thanked gratefully.

"We'll never be able to thank you and repay all enough for not only making our team possible for our mission concerning the Ultra Beasts but also for allowing us to help you finally destroy your and everybody else's greatest enemy whenever you needed us," Kukui added in agreement as he and Lusamine and Mayor Daniels and Commander Shaw shook hands.

"We're all glad we can call upon and count on you for your help whenever we needed you just as you can do the same for us," smiled Mayor Daniels warmly. "Rest assured that should something like Evox come and threaten all of us and our fair city again, we'll have you all and the Power Rangers Beast Morphers to call upon."

"Pardon me, Commander, but now that the Morph-X Towers have all been destroyed, what's going to happen with all of the remaining Morph-X?" Lillie questioned, wanting to know what'll become of the Morph-X they still have despite the destruction of the entire Morph-X Tower System.

Commander Shaw thought for a moment along with Lusamine, Kukui, Wicke, Faba, and Burnet, and soon, they all smiled at each other and nodded as the Grid Battleforce commander made her decision and told Sarah, "Tell you what, you're currently training Hiccup and his friends to become a mini team of Power Rangers, aren't you?"

"Yes...?" Sarah nodded slowly.

"Therefore, I have a proposition: I want you all to have all the remaining Morph-X and keep your new Zords as well as your weaponry."

Sarah and her friends along with the Viking teens all gasped in shock and surprise but Muriel, Mayor Daniels, Devon, Ravi, Zoey, Nate, Steel, their Pokemon, Cruise, Jax, and Smash looked at each other and gave knowing and approving smiles to each other, nodding to their allies and friends to agree to the offer.

"You... You really mean that, all of you?"

"Us, actually keep our weaponry AND our Zords?" Sarah and Race balked in disbelief.

"Awesome!"

"That's great!" Ash and Pikachu grinned brightly.

"You all were an amazing team of Rangers in your own right ever since you came to be. You all helped us go against the greatest threat of our lives and we triumphed today all because of you standing strong with us," Devon nodded proudly for all of his and his team's Alola and Viking friends.

Ravi smiled brightly as he then said, "I don't think anybody could deny everything you did to help make our world a better place with what you all had to go through in your own adventures, both as yourselves and as Power Rangers."

"Even though many of you are only kids and teens, no different from us, you all rose up to the challenge to do what is right and learn about what we're all fighting for as Rangers. You've all got each other to lean on as well as support in the darkest of times," Zoey added proudly.

"You've learned to use your heads and follow your hearts depending on your circumstances and overcome every challenge thrown your way despite how daunting each of them turned out to be. You're grown a lot more than you think you know and everything you did allowed you to become better Rangers as well as better people and Pokemon trainers," Nate grinned happily for their fellow Power Rangers and friends.

"And, whenever you join us for our adventures since we first met Solar, you've taught us many things we never knew before and introduced us to a world that holds many wonderful things that we took for granted, whether we're human or anything else," Steel nodded.

"We all wanted to repay you for everything we've done but we didn't know how."

"So, that's why, we all agreed that should Evox/Venjix should finally be defeated, in honor of your bravery, your service, your courage, and our bonds of love and friendship with you, we'd let you keep all of your equipment and Zords. And, that also means, not only are Solar and Athena staying with you for good, King is yours, forever," Betty and Ben continued, smiling despite feeling tearful that this will be the last time they and everybody else in Grid Battleforce will see and work with their friends from Alola for a while.

"And, even if some of you are greenhorns when it comes to a few things and when everything's on the line, you didn't care. You jumped to the plate and followed your hearts, knowing that you have to do what's right."

"Your hearts and boundless compassion for everything around you and everyone you love is what allowed you all and all of us to survive and live another day."

"The city and the world may be safe now but if there's ever anybody evil wanting to threaten us all again, we know it has people and creatures like us and all of you to look after it because you love this beautiful world just as much as we do," Jax, Cruise, and Smash then said with great compassion to the Ultra Rescue Rangers.

As he was told about Gladion taking his place in the final battle against Evox until his return, Steel approached Lillie's brother before he then smiled and said, "Our friends, my brother, and your sister wouldn't be standing today and I wouldn't have been back if it weren't for you coming when you did and heard about my sacrifice to try and stop Evox. I know we only just met but I just want you to know, 'thank you' is, well, not enough for what you did."

Gladion looked at Steel blankly before he gave a soft smile and a nod before he replied while shaking hands with him, "I just, wanted to ensure that my friends and my sister, get back home to Alola safely, that's all."

"And, if it's any consolation to you all, Princess, you always seem to come up with new ideas given your plan for your Viking friends to allow them to help you in your final battle," Mayor Daniels added before he gave a cheeky grin and quipped, "If you're able to solve problems that big just as Zoey does, I hope that neither of you wouldn't have to run and compete for mayor here."

Sarah blushed with a humble yet bashful smile as she just replied, "Well..."

"And, keeping all of your weaponry and your Zords will provide them with great training for Hiccup and his friends," Devon went on, nodding to the Viking Teens as they felt a second wind of excitement from running the BioZords and King earlier as they tried to contain their emotions.

"They may be rough around the edges but even I can see that they have true potential to become Power Rangers themselves," agreed Lusamine, sharing her approval.

"I wholeheartedly agree," smiled Faba as Wicke, Burnet, and Kukui nodded in agreement.

Mayor Daniels nodded as he thought about using a new power system for Coral Harbor that Zoey had in mind now that the remaining Morph-X would be given to the Aether Foundation and Sarah and her family after it's been collected and safely stored, "Since we won't be needed the Morph-X anymore now that the towers have been destroyed, I suppose we won't mind a change of plans for our city's energy supply. I've heard from the grapevine that the best power that would be most sufficent and economical would be the latest wind and solar farms for power by a certain jackrabbit."

Everybody chuckled as Sarah and her team then wanted to know something from their Beast Morphers friends as Kiawe asked, "So, Devon, guys, what do you all plan on doing now?"

"We'll stay with Grid Battleforce, I believe Venjix wasn't wasn't the only one that would cause problems for Coral Harbor and Scrozzle is still out there. While I do that, I'm going to be working hard to become a better leader," Devon replied.

"Especially since you'll someday be chosen as the new commander behind Grid Battleforce?" smirked Lana knowingly, getting a contented nod from Devon as he and his father chuckled and shared a side-hug, knowing that he'll be following Mayor Daniels' footsteps in his own way.

"Well, since I'm the girl who solves big problems, given my idea for the wind and solar farms, I'm going to look into what's happening within our city and around us and try to come up with solutions to them as best I can."

"The best part; she won't be doing it alone," Zoey and Nate replied as they held hands with each other.

"I'm thinking of going back to painting and starting things up again with Roxy. I feel like after everything that happened between us and during our struggles with Venjix, I've come to realize that I need to be more personable with everybody, follow my heart more often whenever possible, and not always follow the rulebook on everything. I once felt lost without any true friends after I drove us apart by sticking heavily to my duties all the time, but now, I'm not taking friendship and having real friends for granted again," Ravi smiled as Commander Shaw smiled warmly at him and gave him an approving nod.

"I have no idea yet but I'm going to see what else I can do now as a human with my bro and our friends. Who knows, I might even become a movie star one day," Steel put in, deciding on what his future would be given whatever path he sees before him before he looked at Sarah. "What about you, Sarah? Your friends all have their own dreams, what do you plan on doing from now on?"

"Well, I, uh..." Sarah trailed off, realizing she didn't have a real dream to follow and didn't know what to do with her life going forward besides her royal duties.

"I know, Sarah! Why don't you finally start your dream of being a Pokemon Ambassador?" Lillie smiled at her best friend in remembrance.

"Seems fitting since you took down poaches left and right on the side," Race nodded, smirking.

"Oh, yeah... I forgot about that," Sarah admitted.

"And, while you're at it, have you and your man both made your vows yet? My bro and I will be your Best Men at the wedding," Steel smirked, making the young couple blush hard as they became flustered.

"S-Steel!"

"Not, helping..." they groaned, making the Silver Ranger laugh at his own joke and the looks on their faces with everybody else following suit, leaving Sarah and Race thoroughly embarrassed as they turned away.

The story of the Power Rangers Beast Morphers has ended with Venjix finally beaten and gone for good and yet another chapter in Sarah and her friends' lives as Power Rangers has been completed. With the end of the Big Daddy Virus once created by Dr. K and evolved into the Beast Morphers team's worst nightmare, things couldn't get any better for everyone involved including all of the now-peaceful city of Coral Harbor. It may be the end of the Beast Morphers Rangers but for the Riders of Berk and the Power Rangers Ultra Rescue, their future is even brighter than ever and the end of the Ultra Rescue Rangers' adventures with Devon and his friends is just the beginning of a new day for them all.
