2The Imperial Ranger stood in what appeared to be an old fortress like ship
"Who was the last owner of this ship?" Dark Echo Black asked
"Kageros of the Umbra Armada" Dark Echo Pink said
"And of course he was killed by the Legendary Force rangers" Dark Echo Yellow said
"But this is an opportunity for us" Dark Echo Blue said
"Why is that?" Dark Echo Red asked
"Because we can produce monsters, and foot soldiers to fight and tire out the ranger making it easier" Dark Echo Blue said
"Not a bad idea" the Imperial Ranger said "It would be nice to have some help around here" he said
"So why don't we start?" Dark Echo Pink asked
"Because we are in a new grid and we don't know anything about this place" Dark Echo Blue said
"So what is the first step of our plan my lord?" Dark Echo Red asked
"We find out what the Ranger's have planned" Imperial said
"One dark cherry ripe milkshake please" Yada said resting against the counter of the juice bar
"Not to sound rude or anything, but you look like crap, even for your extra job" the waitress Hibiki Sakura said as she fixed Yada's milkshake
"Yeah, something bad has happened" Yada said
"Bad enough for some scouts and riders to join you?" Hibiki asked handing the shake over
"Try more like other rangers" Yada said
"What, so we talking the back up team or" Hibiki said
"Classified" Kataoka said joining them before a white milkshake was slid over to her
"Your usual" Hibiki said
"Thanks" Kataoka said
"Man things are sure different then when Mr Takaoka ran the please, but Mr Saiba's good too" Yada smiled
"So who are you guys facing?" Hibiki asked
"Classified, I'm sorry Hibs but we can't tell you" Kataoka asked
"Okay, okay I get it; did you want me to inform the others though" Hibiki said
"Not if they have their own troubles" Yada said
"Okay" Hibiki said
"Let's see, this will be the perfect spot" Dark Echo Blue said as he looked around the town square before he pulled out a cube and threw it into the air "Let's see how these Shadeoids work" he said before dozens of black armoured lizard like creatures erupted from the cube making those in the square start to scream and run around until a flash of pink arrived
"Where did these guys come from" Yada asked drawing her saber and attacking the Shadeoids before she saw a weird looking blue ranger who landed in front of her
"Greeting, Pink Ranger, I am the Blue Dark Echo Ranger, I serve the Imperial Ranger as one of his generals" he said bowing, before crossing his arms over his chest before throwing them out creating four arms of astral energy
"That's not good" Yada said drawing her blaster and firing at the arms, which caught the energy before absorbing the energy into his body
"While I must admit that I am absorbing the energy; but sadly I must give it to my pink associate" he said
"Wait, you can only absorb energy of your own colour?" Yada asked
"Yes, but the Imperial Ranger can absorb all of them and still use them" Dark Echo Blue said before grabbing Yada by the helmet and throwing her into a wall knocking her around confusing her
"What is that?" Yusei asked hearing an alarm
"That's the alarm" Maehara said
"I'm scanning the area, Shadoids!" Irina shouted
'Where?" Karma asked
"Three different areas, The waterfront, the school district and the town centre" Irina said
"Well being pirates we'll take the waterfront" Karma said
"We'll handle the school district" Maehara said
"What about the town centre?" Davis asked
"I'm going to go" Yusei said
"Same here, you TK?" Matt asked
"Sure why not" TK said shrugging
"I'm in" Lena said
"I'll join in as well" Shigure said
"Don't think you're leaving me out of the fun" Milly said
"Alright team, let's head out" Yusei said
"Shame, I was hoping you would be tougher" Dark Echo Blue said
"Oh yeah, try us then!" Yusei shouted as the group calmly walked out of the shadows before glaring at the evil blue ranger
"Interesting, several rangers, but also composed of different ranger teams, I was not expecting this" Dark Cho Blue said "But it will be an interesting challenge"
"This guy reminds of the Psycho rangers"
"Guy, isn't that the pink ranger of that Legendary force?" Lena asked
"Yes it is, and it appears she's not in good shape." Shigure said before deflecting a Shadeoid away before standing his ground
"Guys, you know what to do" Yusei said
"Right, ITS MORPHING TIME!" They all shouted
"Interesting" Dark Echo Blue said
"Shift into Turbo!" Yusei shouted as he activate his morpher by inserting a key like device into a slot on his morpher "Red Lightning Turbo Power" he said crossing his arms over his chest before throwing them to the side covering himself in red energy which formed his costume before the helmet formed around his red "Red Turbo Ranger
"Let's Rocket!" Matt said flipping open his morphed and inserting the code before a bright burst of blue light surrounded him before disputing revealing his ranger suit while a symbol lit up on his helmet "Blue Space ranger"
"GO GALACTIC!" TK shout pressing the green button on his morpher making it release a surge of green energy revealing his ranger costume while he crossed his hands in front of his face to reveal his helmet "Lost Galaxy Green!"
"WILD ACCESS!" Lena shouted into her phone like morpher, before closing it as it took on a four legged look and ran ahead giving Lena her costume before her helmet formed with a tiger's growl "Noble Tiger!" she shouted "Wild Force White Ranger!"
"SPD Emergency" Milly said shoving her morpher forward before a flash of yellow light shot out and formed her uniform before she back flipped as the light surrounded her before the red siren like lights went off "SPD Yellow!" she shouted
"Jungle Beast, Spirit Unleash" Shigure shouted opening up the wolf shaped morpher revealing a bell which he rang creating a purple aura which surrounded him while he perform a kata before the aura turned into his suit before a helmet formed on his head from the left over aura. "With the Courage of a wolf- JUNGLE FURY WOLF RANGER" Shigure said
"Interesting I was not expecting this at all" Dark Echo Blue said as he placed his hand onto his helmet before he side stepped Matt who attacked with his Astro Axe before he blocked TK's Quasar Saber and Lena's baton
"WOLF BEAM!" Shigure shouted as beams of purple light was fired out of his morpher at Dark Echo Blue who used his astral arms to block the beams giving Milly and opening from behind with Yusei using their melee weapons to score a hit on the evil blue ranger making him lose his aim, while opening him up to TK and Matt attacking at the same time.
"Nice shot" Lena said
"That doesn't mean he's about to go down" Milly said
"Anyway he's not our objective" Yusei said
"you're right, I'll go get her" Milly said
"I don't think so' Dark Echo Blue said as he was about to head for Milly when Yusei and TK jumped in the way and crossed their sword blocking him "I will finish off that Pink pest"
"We won't let you" Milly said glaring at him under her helmet.
"Like you can" Dark Echo Blue said as he conjured a blade for blue energy
"Be...careful, he can" Yada tried to stand up, only to be caught by Milly
"Easy, you're badly injured" Milly said
"I thought you were getting her out of here" TK said
"I am" Milly said teleporting away
"Great now we can deal with him easily" Shigure said as he ran up to the blue evil ranger and did a sweeping kick while Matt and TK attacked with their blade weapons as Lena used her glove's claws to slash at him, only for the astral arms to block the claws and the blade connect with her stomach sending her rolling into Yusei who quickly caught her.
"This isn't going to be an easy fight" Yusei said
"No kidding, especially with Milly tending to Yada" Lena said
"Mind if I lend a hand?" a voice said as Mirio arrived and flicked out his wrist summoning his morpher "Dino Charger; ENERGIZE! UNLEASH THE POWER!" he shouted morphing into his Gold Ranger form "GOLD PTERA RANGER!" Mirio added summoning his blade
"So there are more than six teams" Dark Echo Blue said "Intriguing, but unfortunately I'm out of time" Dark Echo Blue said suddenly disappearing
"Where did he go?" Mirio asked
"Keep you guard up" Yusei said
"Do you think he left?" Matt asked
"I'm not sure" TK said scanning the area
"Hey you guys okay?" Sugino asked as he ran up to them
"Yeah, problem is he's gone" Yusei said
"Same with us" Kataoka said
"Our targets disappeared as well" Sugino said
"Your back already?" Dark Echo Pink asked as she saw Blue arrived "What happened?"
"I discovered something interesting" Blue said "But here" he said tossing the energy he had gathered to her
"ooh yummy" Pink said
"I've discovered that they've recruited other rangers" Blue said
"Ooh where from?" Pink asked
"The other grids, ones we have yet to travel to, meaning that they have made things both easier and harder for us" Blue said
"Should we talking to our master?" Pink asked
"Not yet, I would like to see what else this Ranger Alliance has in store for us" Blue said
"How many teams?" Pink asked
"six or seven on top of the two they have here already" Blue said
"Well, this is going to be fun" Pink smirked
"My head" Yada groaned
"Hey you okay?" Nagisa asked
"I feel tired, but no surprise that he drained my energy" Yada said
"But what did he do with it?" Joe asked checking Yada's vital data
"He was going to give it to their pink ranger since they can only absorb energy their own colour" Yada said
"Which means we'll have to find out the other two colours and come up with a way to stop them" Nagisa said
"And quickly" Joe said "Otherwise its game over"
G'day Guys Grizz here, and so that was the rangers first encounter with the Dark Echo Rangers, who will have assorted abilities and they will try to take the energy of the rangers, but with some many different rangers it will be tricky, also I had to go to Youtube and check out most of the morphing sequences so I could write them easier. Now I will start to have the bad guys use monsters in future chapter, but for now it will be just them against the rangers
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
