//------------------------------// // Episode 19: Eternity Emerges! // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! EQG: Duelist Rangers Season 1 // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// "Hey Shadow!", Rainbow said. The rangers and their friends were hanging out at the command center when Rainbow called out to Shadow. "I just realized something!" "And that would be?", Shadow asked. "You, Ice, and Gold are the only rangers left without power ups." "What do you mean?" "Inferno has two power ups. One he got from Skull and the other was added later on. Steel got his power up from that ninja, Ace got his when he went to rescue Sonata, and Burst got his when you guys fought Gate Guardian." "Don't ya think that's the least bit inconsiderate?", Applejack asked. "Come on Aj! Shadow knows I didn't mean anything by it." "Don't worry. I'll get mine when the time comes." Soon the alarm blared and everyone rushed to see why the alarm was going off! "Looks like it's some sort of energy signature.", Ace said as he examined the readings. "It's like nothing we've seen before." "Then we'd better get to it first before Chrysalis and Sombra do. Let's go!" The rangers teleported to the location where the energy readings came from. "Let's see if we can track the energy with our morphers." They began scanning, and picked up on a certain location. It looked like a set of ruins. Ones that definitely looked like they were from the monster world. "It looks like we're getting closer." The rangers came to a halt when they reached a dragon statue. Soon they were surrounded by a whole group of dragon spirits! The leader than spoke. "One who bears the power of Dragluon, step forward." The guys looked to Shadow and he stepped forth. "We have been waiting a long time for the one Dragluon chose to wield his power. We have a gift for you. The power Dragluon left behind with we Dragon Lords. Behold! Dragluon's Eternity!" A beam of light shot into Shadow's morpher and transformed it! Shadow and the other rangers marveled at the sight. "Use this power well. May it aid you in your battles." The dragon spirits returned to the monster world, and with them the ruins faded. "Well , well. What do we have here?", Chrysalis said with a smirk. "Here Sombra and I were hoping to score that energy, and you show up. We won't bother sending minion when we can do the job ourselves!" Chrysalis and Sombra summoned their weapons! "Let's do it guys! It's morphin' time!", Burst shouted! The rangers morphed and summoned their own weapons! As they charged, Sombra fired a blast of dark magic that froze them in place! Burst found himself in a dark place and saw Celestia and Moon imprisoned! "What happened?!" Burst then saw the Megazord in ruins! "This can't be real! It can't be!" Inferno came to and found he was chained up and that Rarity was looking down on him. "R-Rarity?" "How could I love a beast like you?", she said coldly. Inferno's heart sank as she walked away. "Wait! Rarity! Don't leave me!" Meanwhile, Ace was having his own worst nightmare. He saw Sonata sitting alone. He tried to get her to hear him, but she couldn't hear! She was crying because she was alone. Ace screamed as loud as he could! "Sonata I'm right here! Why can't you hear me?" Ace's heart sank as he could just watch Sonata be alone. Gold awoke to find Sunset being hated by everyone. He wanted to run up to her! To make her remember she wasn't alone! But no matter how much he ran, he couldn't get any closer! "Sunset!", Gold kept crying out! Steel saw Rainbow Dash was basically hurling insults at him. "Why'm I dating someone lame like you?" Steel's hear felt like it was torn to pieces. Ice was probably suffering the worst. When he came to, he saw his brothers lying on the ground mortally wounded. But it was their words that horrified him. "You did this Ice...this is all your fault...", Ace strained to say. "No.,.", Ice cried out! "NOOO!" Back in the real world, Chrysalis was smiling at Sombra's work. "So what did you do to make them freeze like that?", she asked with a devious smile. "A fear spell. Even the greatest of heroes have their worst fears. Right now, the rangers are experiencing theirs." Back in his mind, Shadow could see the other rangers paralyzed by their fears! "How am I the only one who isn't having his own worst fears come to life?" "Because of the power your morpher absorbed.", Dragluon replied as he materialized. "It shields you from the fear magic, and will guide you. Use it to free the others! Make then remember their eternal courage!" Shadow saw his right hand glowing with a bright light, and raised it up! From it six beams of light shot into each of the other rangers' minds! Banishing the fear the rangers were imprisoned by! The rangers then regained their senses and faced their fears knowing they no longer held any power over them! Back in the real world, the rangers had snapped out of Sombra's fear spell! "Nice try, but you can't keep us down for long!" The rangers then noticed a pillar of light where Shadow had once stood. A pair of majestic dragon wings emerged as the light faded, and Shadow stood in new white and gold ranger armor! "Dragluon Eternity Ranger!", Shadow proudly declared. "No matter how much you try to scare us our courage is eternal! Lightning Spear!" Shadow summoned his new weapon! A large spear with a blade shaped like Dragluon's head! "Light ray!" Shadow fired a beam of light energy that struck Sombra and Chrysalis! Knocking them back! The other rangers activated their own power-ups and surrounded them! "Your move.", Burst said as he pointed his saber at them. Chrysalis nodded to Sombra and a portal opened in the sky! "Megamorph!", Chrysalis cried as she cast the spell! Great Moth and Caius the Shadow Monarch came out of the portal and grew to gigantic size! They immediately began trashing the city! "Have fun dealing with our friends rangers!", Chrysalis said as she and Sombra teleported back to their fortress! "Time to call in the zords!", Burst said as the rangers summoned their zords! "Hey Shadow! Let's see what your power-up can do!" "Right!" Shadow's zord transformed and took on a white and gold appearance! "Now let's combine all of our power ups so far!" The rangers activated their power ups and formed the Megazord! When it was completed, the Megazord had Inferno's Meteor Black Knuckle, Steel's Super Soldier Shield, Ace's Dragon Seal Sword, and Shadow's Spear! Burst's extra Blue Eyes Zords transformed into a set of twin blasters while Ice's Red Dragon Zord formed the wings and Gold's Crimson Dragon Zord formed plasma cannons that mounted on the Megazord's shoulders! "Meteor Black Impact!", Inferno cried out as the Megazord charged at Caius and sent him falling to the ground with a blazing punch! Great Moth sent a gust of poison dust flying at them! "Super Soldier Shield!", Steel said as he raised the shield to neutralize the poison dust! "My turn! Dragon Seal Slash!", Ace cried out as he summoned a seal that grounded Great Moth with the Megazord's saber! "Plasma Arc Cannon!", Gold shouted as he fired the Megazord's cannons! The blast destroyed Great Moth! "Take us up Ice!" "You got it! Hold tight!" The Megazord leaped into the air! "How about we make Caius sit still? Shadow?" "Time to see what this new weapon can do! Dragluon Spear!" The Megazord sent the spear flying as a beam of light that stuck and bound Caius with a seal! "Hey Burst! Time for the grand finale!" Burst smiled as the Megazord spun the twin Blue Eyes pistols before locking onto Caius! "Hey Gold! Wanna see what we get with our combined blasts?" "I'm way ahead of you!" "Alright guys! Let's do this!" "CRIMSON NEUTRON BLAST!", the rangers cried out as they fired a massive blast that obliterated Caius the Shadow Monarch! Back at the command center, the girls had watched everything that had happened and were in awe of the Megazord's new power! They all had smiles on their faces as the rangers returned! "You guys were awesome out there!", Rainbow cheered! "With that kind of power no monster stands a chance!", Sunset added. "I bet Chrysalis and Sombra are pretty nervous right about now.", Rarity said with a giggle. "Their days are numbered!", Nightmare boasted! "All we need to do now is take those two down!", Sonata cheered! "It looks like our battle's almost over.", Burst said with a smile. "But I can't shake the feeling that things aren't quite over yet..."
