Ghidorah couldn't suppress his joy! A mutant with the strength to rival the leader of the kaiju rangers was now under his command. And to top it off, the mutant was Junior's own brother AND he now had a morpher which meant Ghidorah now had his own kaiju ranger as well! All that was left was to just sit back and watch the battle, "So Xenilla challenged Junior to a duel for leadership of the kaiju rangers...interesting. I'll send one of my monsters to finish off the other rangers while they grieve for Junior after Xenilla has destroyed them! Victory is mine!"
It was the day that Junior and Xenilla had chosen to duel, it had started to rain as Junior and the other rangers headed towards the battlefield Xenilla had chose. They were in for quite the unpleasant surprise. Xenilla was there waiting for them, but he wasn't alone. Beside him was Orga, one of Ghidorah's strongest monsters. Needless to say, Junior was shocked at the sight before him, "Xen...what are you doing with this creep? Don't you know he's one of Ghidorah's goons?!" "I do brother, and I also realize who I should truly stand with! Hail King Ghidorah, and the destruction of the kaiju rangers!"
Destoroyah was heart broken. Her best friends, the guy she'd known for most of her life, had just sold them out. Grief gave way to sorrow, and sorrow gave way to rage, "How Xen? HOW COULD YOU STAB US IN THE BACK?! HOW COULD YOU JOIN THE MONSTER THAT DESTROYED BIOLLANTE?!" "Simple. It's good to be bad! But I'm not going to destroy you or the rest of your friends. I'm here for Junior. Ready your morpher brother! Our battle begins! IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"
Xenilla then morphed into his ranger form. His suit was red on the inner parts, and blue on the outer parts. On each of his shoulders was a large crystal, and a small crystal horn with two spikes on each side was on his helmet. Junior was confused, two days earlier Xenilla seemed to be the nicest guy on the planet. And now, he was acting like they were mortal enemies! 'What happened to him? This doesn't add up!' "Lea! Get in touch with Sunset at the command center! I can't quite explain it, but this isn't the same Xenilla I met two days ago. It might be some kind of mind-control magic. And if anyone can figure out how to undo it it's her!" "I'm on it Junior!". As Lea got in touch with Sunset, Junior morphed into his ranger form and called out his sword. Xenilla smiled coldly, "So, you have one of those too?", Xenilla then sneered as he summoned the aerneth saber Ghidorah had given him, "With this blade, I will put an end to you!". The two rangers clashed, each trying to strike each other with all their might until one of them gained the upper hand!
Back in the command center, Sunset had just gotten Lea's message and was watching the clash between Junior and Xenilla. She was wondering what sort of magic could turn Xenilla so easily. And then it hit her the moment Xenilla summoned that sword made of black crystals, crystals that were radiating dark magic. 'That sword's made of aerneth crystals! Aerneths can be used to magnify anger in a person, and control their minds! But mind control can only be done if someone makes contact with an object that was tainted by one. Meaning Xenilla's morpher must have been struck with that sword!' "I know how to break the spell!", Sunset then contacted Junior, "Junior, do you read me? It's the sword! You have to break Xenilla's sword! That's what's causing him to act this way! One concentrated blast from your atomic flame blaster should do the trick!" "Thanks Sunset.", Junior said. Junior then launched his counter attack, putting all his effort into disarming his brother. As soon as he saw his chance, he kicked Xenilla so hard that he lost his grip on the sword and was knocked back by the force of the blow. Junior then took aim, and fired a charged shot at the sword that destroyed it upon impact. With the aerneth saber gone, Xenilla clutched his head as the sword's taint left his morpher, causing him to power down. "No...what have I done? I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake! I should've run! I..." "Stop that!", Junior snapped, "What you did while you were manipulated wasn't your fault. Sure, it may have been your body fighting. But that wasn't your heart, it wasn't the heart of my brother. I forgive you, and my friends forgive you. Now the only question left is, can you forgive yourself? ". Xenilla's head started to lift up, and a small smile managed to crack upon his face, "Yes...yes I can." "Good. Now then, I believe we owe that ugly punk that was standing on the sidelines a grade A butt-kickin'! Family style!"
Orga was definitely in the worst possible situation. Not only had Xenilla been released from Ghidorah's control, but now there were SIX rangers ready to beat the living snot out of him! 'So much for Ghidorah's "great master plan". Now would be a good time to grow up!', Orga thought, "Master Ghidorah! Your plan backfired! Xenilla is free of your control, and I require a potion bomb to even the playing field!". Soon enough, a potion bomb was dropped and Orga grew to gigantic size! The other rangers were about to call their zords, but Xenilla stopped them. "This is my own mess, let me clean it up! Destoroyah! Let's show this creep what our zords can do!". As Destoroyah called her zord from the sky, Xenilla summoned his from the moon. Again, Xen's zord looked almost identical to Junior's zord with the exception of color, the crystal-like structures on each shoulder, and the small horn on its' head. The two zords then combined, with Xenilla's forming the main body and legs while Destoroyah's formed the arms, wings, and head to create the DestroXen megazord! The new megazord then made short work of Orga with its' sword, the crystal horn katana. And then it finished him off with the micro-oxygen-corona cannon. Orga tried to consume the energy blast, but it exploded in his stomach, causing him to blow up from the inside-out! After the battle, the rangers powered down and returned to the command center. Xenilla couldn't believe how easily everyone was able to forgive him, "I'm sorry ...", he said as tears started to from in his eyes, "...because of me, I almost got you all hurt! I...I...", Sunset walked up to him and put a hand on his shoulder, "It wasn't your fault, so don't beat yourself up so much. Trust me, I know what it's like to make a mistake so big you feel like no one will ever forgive you. But my friends forgave me, and everybody was a willing to give me another chance. Please, let your brother and his friends do the same for you.". Destoroyah then walked up to Xen, "What do you say Xen? We accept you, will you accept us?". Xenilla smiled, tears still streaming down his face, "Yes, I do.". As the rangers and Sunset and her friends welcomed the newest team member, Mothra watched with a knowing smile with only one thought on her mind, 'Friendship really is magic.'
