Power Rangers Dino Steel

Rina held her stomach as Kida helped her up, charging at Joker again and tackling him to the ground.

Joker growled, planting his feet in RIna's stomach and throwing her off of him. He watched her hit the ground and roll, flipping up and changing into Kamen Rider Cyclone. "You really did let me down, little aibo," he said, blades of wind energy coming from his hands as he rushed Rina. "Couldn't save me. Or did you not want to?"

Kida nodded, looking at JT and Aaron. "Keep them busy," she said, taking off and leaping over Cyclone, slashing him backward before kicking him in the chest. "Get away from her!" She knelt down, taking Rina's hand and helping her up. "Rina. Listen to me. They aren't Soukichi, Shotaro, or Philip. Listen to me. Who's the one Dopant that screwed with people's heads? Think, RIna."

"You expect her to think!?" Cyclone asked, laughing and flinging a ball of wind at Kida, hitting hte Red Ranger and sending her flying back into a car. "The last time she had the chance to think, she got me killed. She doesn't deserve to use those Memories or that Soul. SPD would have been better off flunking her out and sending her packing. You have to wonder why her husband isn't here. Maybe he realized waht a pathetic little bitch she was, and decided to leave before she got him killed too!"

Ridenio, seeing his opportunity, dropped down and faced off with Jaxon. "Heat things up? My pleasure, boy," he said, snapping his fingers and setting the area around Jaxon on fire before he slammed both fists into the Blue Ranger's chest, igninting him at the same time. "You shouldn't ask for something if you can't take it."

Jameson kept firing and taking down Coronites, looking around. "Fuck, do these things ever end?!" he asked. "I thought the Wraiths Amaranth used back home were bad. Are these things fucking endless?!"

Kida nodded, looking at JT and Aaron. "Keep them busy," she said, taking off and leaping over Cyclone, slashing him backward before kicking him in the chest. "Get away from her!" She knelt down, taking Rina's hand and helping her up. "Rina. Listen to me. They aren't Soukichi, Shotaro, or Philip. Listen to me. Who's the one Dopant that screwed with people's heads? Think, RIna."

"Yay..." JT sounded less than enthused about being saddled with more grunt duty. She delivered a roundhouse to one Coronite before using her saber to block an incoming attack before using her sword to slash the other Coronite away.

Jameson kept firing and taking down Coronites, looking around. "Fuck, do these things ever end?!" he asked. "I thought the Wraiths Amaranth used back home were bad. Are these things fucking endless?!"

"Still better than dozens of trained evil ninja." Aaron spun behind another Coronite and hit it in the back of the head with a simple arm thrust. "Consider it a workout to help keep you in shape."

"You think I can't take it?! I'll be proud to call your bluff." Jaxon said after fell back after Ridenio's sucker punch and flame tactics. "If it's an inferno match you want..." Jaxon said as he got back to his feet and then withdrew the DimetroHeat soul and inserted it into the mouth of his saber and open and closed it shut several times before being covered in the DimetroHeat armor. "Then, lets raise the temperature!" Jaxon said as he took after Ridenio as they clashed sword for sword before Jaxon saw and opening with a V-trigger knee to Ridenio's jaw.

Ridenio blocked Jaxon's strike, grabbing the Blue Ranger by the throat and slamming him into the ground. "YOu are not the one I seek to kill today, boy. Do yourself a favor and stay on the ground like a good dog, and maybe I'll make your death quick in time," he growled. Wings flared out from his back as he pelted Jaxon with thousands of razor sharp feathers, driving the Blue Ranger deeper into the ground. "Stay down."

Rina hit the ground again after Cyclone knocked Kida, back, struggling to get up as she looked over after the green clad Rider. Her shoulders shook lightly as she pushed herself up to her knees. “Do it then. If you think that’ll make your soul rest. You, Maya, Papa. If that’ll make you all happy then fucking do it, you coward!”

Cyclone shook his head. "Why should your death be quick?" he asked, slamming his fist into Rina's chest before grabbing her throat. "Mine wasn't. It was agonizing. Drawn out and should ahve been fast. You robbed me of my life."

Kida growled, forcing herself up and grabbing her DiEnd Driver. ATTACK RIDE BLAST rang out as she fired, the shots arching aorund Rina and shooting Cyclone, sending him backward as he dropped RIna. She ran over and helped RIna up, her hands shaking. "I hate doing this," she said. "Fall back! Everyone back to the Command Center! NOW!"

Jameson looked over, firing through the Coronites. "Kida, are you sure?"

"RETREAT NOW!" Kida yelled.

Ridenio blocked Jaxon's strike, grabbing the Blue Ranger by the throat and slamming him into the ground. "YOu are not the one I seek to kill today, boy. Do yourself a favor and stay on the ground like a good dog, and maybe I'll make your death quick in time," he growled. Wings flared out from his back as he pelted Jaxon with thousands of razor sharp feathers, driving the Blue Ranger deeper into the ground. "Stay down."

Kida growled, forcing herself up and grabbing her DiEnd Driver. ATTACK RIDE BLAST rang out as she fired, the shots arching aorund Rina and shooting Cyclone, sending him backward as he dropped RIna. She ran over and helped RIna up, her hands shaking. "I hate doing this," she said. "Fall back! Everyone back to the Command Center! NOW!"

Jaxon continued to get pelted by the feathers that Ridenio threw at him as the Winged Demon had Jaxon on the ropes, but Jaxon was hardheaded and never backed down from a fight. "I'm gonna barbeque your chicken looking ass!" Jaxon stated he thought quick as he opened and closed his saber "Dimetroheat! Solar Flare!" Chris exclaimed as the sword grew white hot, blinding Ridenio long enough for Jaxon to roll away to a defensive postion. Jaxon was about to go in for another attack but Kida called for a retreat. "Looks like you got lucky. Next time, I'm shish kabobing you, you feathered freak!" Jaxon stated before he ran off and regrouped with the others before he along with the group teleported back to the command center.

With the Rangers back in the Command Center, Jameson looked at Kida who was kneeling beside Rina, rubbing hte other woman's back. "Kida. what the hell was that?" he asked.

"It wasn't Kamen Rider," Kida said, wrapping her arm around Rina and rubbing her arm softly. "Not in the traditional sense. It's an old enemy of Rina's, one her father dealt with a long time ago too."

"What?" Mayumi asked, handing Kida some tissues to help with RIna.

"There's only one Dopant from Fuuto's history that can change forms that quickly and rip out your heart like that," the Red Ranger said. She put the tissues in Rina's hand, squeezing softly. "Here, sweetie. Use these." She looked up at Mayumi and the others surrounding her and Rina before she spoke again, her words cold as ice. "Dummy Dopant."

"Dummy?" Jameson asked. "SOund like you've encountered it before."

"He's a blank slate. He'll take whatever forms he has to in order to cause the most pain before finishing you off," Kida said. "That's why he used Rina's grandfather, father, and uncle against her. And the next time, I'm going to rip his fucking spine out." She looked over at Jaxon, sighing softly. "Jaxon...Ridenio's going to be gunning for you the same why he is with Rina and I. You challenged him, and that isn't something he'll let stand. He won't stop until either you or he are dead. LEave him to Rina and I. Please."

Kida looked at JT as she helped RIna into a chair. "You want to help?" she asked. "Here's what you do." SHe reached into the container that housed the Keys and pulled some of them out, setting on the console. "Take these. As soon as Ridenio shows up, armor up. All of you. Aaron, frost that bitch. JT, burn him. Jameson, lightning. Jaxon, use every goddamn Armament that you can. Speeder, Twist, Chain, Plier, Blinder, Bluff. You all keep him distracted from Rina and I while we fuck Dummy up and send him back to Hell. Got it?"

Jameson looked at the Pink and Black Rangers, nodding as he turned back to Kida. "Got it, boss." He had nver seen the Red Ranger so up in arms or so focused, even when she beat the hell out of Amaranth a few weeks before. "What about you two?"

"Did you finish PachyBoxer and the Raptors?" Kida asked.

Jameson nodded, opening a compartment on a console and tossing a forest Green Soul to Kida. "PachyBoxer. What are you thinking?" he asked.

Kida knelt down and put the PachyBoxer SOul into Rina's hand. "The only one of us that hasn't done an armor up," she said. "This is her fight."
