ANGLOMAN Vs. KEIKENRANGER Part 3
Written by Scott Harris and Gerald Conde

In the Den, the unmorphed Keikenranger and Angloman stood together in the lab. Candace had a plaster over her cut cheek and Scott had to lean on Ivy slightly to stand properly. Professor Caster was standing in front of the gathered warriors, the screen behind him showing images of the battles against Raventhorn and Venomo.
"So both our teams suffered similar incidents," Alan muttered, watching the screen. "And neither of them are in full fighting condition," Caster said sternly, "So I suggest you get some rest before they strike again."

Belle strolled into the room, not really paying attention to her surroundings. "An android," said Paige. "What are you talking about that? That's a beautiful girl!" Coribun stated. "Why thank you, my name actually means beautiful. Not bad yourself," Belle said. "If you want Professor, I can upgrade it. It seems to not really take notice of where it's going," Paige said. Belle heard her and glared at the American woman, "Touch my circuits and I'll use your guts for garters!" "I could give its attitude an adjustment to," Paige smirked. "LET ME AT 'ER!" Belle charged at Paige but Caster and Alan held her arms, stopping the android. Paige's lips curled into a mocking smile. Belle glared at her. "I think she's pretty cool," Isis piped up, earning a proud grin from the android. "See, some people do appreciate mecha," Belle smirked at Paige. "Look I know mecha," Paige spoke matter-of-factly, "And believe me little one, you ain't got the bolts to be mecha!" The two were about to start fighting but they were held back. "Can you save this cat fight for later?!" Ivy snapped.


Later that evening, the two teams were still in hostilities. Isis was the only Keikenranger who wasn't shunning the Angloman. At that, she was in the living room with Scott, Ivy, Rowan and Belle.
"I don't want to offend any of you," said Isis, choosing her words carefully, "But…how did you get to be Sentai?" "It's an odd story really," Scott replied, "But the professor says we weren't intended for it. Five candidates were lined up, got vaporised and the radiation bombarding them chose us instead. But something tells me…that it's more than that." "How do you mean?" Isis raised an eyebrow. "I don't know," Scott sighed, "I just keep having this dream…that maybe what happened…wasn't as random as we think…" "I just hope our teams can stop fighting," Ivy muttered, "I'm…going out for a walk if nobody minds." She left the room.
Before she could leave, the alarms in the base all went off at once. The group stood up and ran out of the base.


Outside, Venomo and Raventhorn had returned. As the ten gathered heroes watched, the monsters stood in single file and in a bright flash, merged. The main body of the beast was Venomo apart from the long threatening beak. Emerging from the sides was a pair of massive black wings and a feathery belt around various parts of the tail. "Fusionthorn," the new creature growled, raising itself up to fight.
The Angloman readied their A-Braces and took their morph positions as the Keikenranger held out their Glorifiers and pressed the correct switch.
"Anglo Henshin! Angloman!"
"Glorification!"
In a blinding flash of multi-coloured light, the two teams appeared, their weapons in hand.
"Red London! Flame Within Me! Anglo Sword!"
"Blue Shoebury! Water Around Me! Anglo Axe!"
"Black Epping! Earth Beneath Me! Anglo Rifle!"
"Yellow Windsor! Lightning Upon Me! Anglo Bat!"
"Pink Plashet! Wind Above Me! Anglo Bow!"
"KeikenRed! Keiken Sword!"
"KeikenBlue! Keiken Boomerang!"
"KeikenBlack! Keiken Mallet!"
"KeikenYellow! Keiken Katana!"
"KeikenPink! Keiken Constrictor!"
"Rule Britannia! Seitou Sentai Angloman!"
"In the name of the Shuudan! Shindou Sentai Keikenranger!"

"Big deal," Fusionthorn yawned and the three forces went into battle. "Evolution's Final Chapter!" Keikenpink fired a blast of pink energy from her visor. Fusionthorn dodged and the blast hit a segment of pavement, reducing it to sloppy concrete. "Hailstorm Starter!" Keikenblack raised his hand and a volley of hail came down, doing no damage to Fusionthorn's thick skin. The creature whipped out his snake tail, grabbing Yellow and holding her up, her ankles and wrists bound firmly. Not caring for the safety of the young warrior, Keikenblack punched his fists together and raised them, "Black Sky Storm!" The lightning came down, going towards both Yellow and the monster. Horrified at his teammate's move, Keikenyellow leapt forward and pulled Yellow free. The girl blushed so much it was visible through her helmet. "Th…thanks," she stammered. "Weren't nothin' lil' lady," Keikenyellow set her down and slashed at the monster with his katana but was thrown back.
"Override Collapse!" Keikenred punched the ground and the terra burst up around Fusionthorn, trapping the beast in a concrete cage. "Let's finish this!" Red announced and the Angloman stood beside each other in a single line.
Their bodies glowed white and lightning charged along the ground. "Lightning Finisher!" the five charged through the cage and Fusionthorn. The monster roared and collapsed.

Once more, Deltra appeared with her silver goblet, drank the liquid and spat it onto the monster before vanishing. "Gross," Keikenyellow winced. The fragments of Fusionthorn swirled into the air and bonded into two huge monsters: Raventhorn and Venomo. The Angloman raised their A-Braces, "Anglo Robo! Initiate!" The mighty robot landed beside them and they teleported inside. Keikenred turned to Keikenpink. "Got the mecha?" "Yeah," Keikenpink said as she pulled out a case with two capsules. Inside the capsules where the Shatter Bomber and Demozord in miniature form. Keikenred took the miniature from the case and left it on the street. "Rise! Shatter Bomber!" The others followed suit, "Arise! Demozord!" The Shatter Bomber and Demozord grew their normal gigantic size.

"Nice toy," Keikenpink sneered to the Angloman, "How much did you pay Playskool to design it?" "Feh!" Blue snorted, "At least ours doesn't look like a Takara knock-off!" "Your mecha looks like it came from a Sunday market!" Keikenred snapped. Then to the surprise of the older heroes, the Anglo Robo turned its head to them and droned, "Go soak your fat heads." Both robots were suddenly sent crashing through the air by Venomo's tail. "Demo Shooter!" the four Keikenranger in the Demozord declared. The Demozord held its right hand out as its magnum weapon appeared and a volley of coloured blasts fired out, driving Venomo back. "Missile Barrage!" Keikenred announced. The Shatter Bomber's chest opened and six black turrets emerged. A cluster of missiles fired out. "Our turn," the Angloman took positions as if holding guns, "Royal Rifles!"
The Anglo Robo knelt down one knee and drew its rifle weapons, firing off a round of blasts into the snake. Venomo screamed as the three robots fired their weapons together, destroying him. "Wait a minute…" Black looked around, "Where's Raventhorn?" "Gotcha!" a croaking voice yelled as several dozen feather darts rained from the sky and hit the mechas, knocking them over with explosions. However, some of the feathers on the Anglo Robo mutated into human-sized copies of Raventhorn and vanished.

"What was that?" Yellow muttered, rubbing her sore head. "I don't know," Red replied, "But we have to finish this thing off before it rips the others apart." The Anglo Robo stood up and its Royal Sword appeared in its hand. The Shatter Bomber and Demozord performed a simultaneous kick to Raventhorn's head and backed off, reluctantly allowing the Anglo Robo to finish the job.

"Royal Strike!" it slashed a glowing A into Raventhorn's body then with one final cut, it dealt the final blow. The Anglo Robo turned away, "Britannia Rules The World!" Raventhorn collapsed and exploded.
"You know," said Keikenyellow, "All things considered, they're not that bad." "A big robot doesn't mean nuthin'," Keikenpink muttered. There was suddenly a yell from the Anglo Robo's cockpit and the Keikenranger opened a video link. The Raventhorn copies were inside the cockpit of the English robot, attacking the Angloman. "I'm going in," said Keikenblue. She pressed a button on her Glorifier and vanished, followed by Keikenred.


His eyes began to open. His vision was blurred but he could make out a dark blue ceiling. He tried to move but couldn't. "I hate the hospital…" Scott muttered. "So you're awake," came a delicate voice. Scott blinked and saw four faces above him: Beverley, Rowan, Belle and Isis. "Where are the others?" Scott asked, still only semi-conscious. "Alan and the other Keikenranger are back at base mate," said Rowan. "And Ivy?" Scott felt dread, worried he already knew the answer. "She was…taken," Isis reluctantly answered. Scott's breath caught, "No…no I have…I have to go save her…" "You're in bad shape mate," Rowan replied sternly, which was unlike him. "The doctors say you have a twisted ankle and your left arm is dislocated," Beverley informed him with a sigh.
"No please…" Scott protested, "You have to let me go!" Beverley held him down, "Just relax okay. We will get her back but we can't do anything if you injure yourself further." "Fine…" Scott muttered and turned his head to the left.


Meanwhile, Professor Caster, Alan and the remaining Keikenranger were in the lab. "Professor," said Candace, "We've been wondering something. Why do you trust a bunch of kids to protect England?" Caster looked at them, "The reason I gathered them is purely scientific…but the reason I trust them…I guess they're like family to me, almost like the sons and daughters I never had." "Should've seen that coming," Kiro muttered. Candace jabbed him in the ribs with her elbow, "Now is not the time." She looked back to Caster, "So really, you share a bond with them?" Caster nodded, "They're really all I have to call a family. I lost my sister when I was no older than them." "That's rough," said Coribun sympathetically. "Surely you all see each other as a family," Caster looked at them, "Because when you come to think about it. Being amongst good friends is a lot like being amongst family." The Shuudan officers looked at each other then sighed in unison.

"We were kinda bastards to them," Coribun spoke with sagging shoulders. "And now one of them has been taken," Paige added. "…We should help them," Candace finished both. "Whatever," Kiro muttered, "I'm only going to go to get Giselle.
"What?!" Coribun was shocked, "You don't even care?" "Our mission is to stop whatever Giselle is up to," Kiro said. "That girl needs us," Coribun says. "Not my problem," Kiro shrugged boredly. That was the last straw. Candace stood in front of Kiro and punched him on the jaw. She smiled. He got up and smirked. Candace shook her head.

Paige stood up. She was in a way a mother and understood Candace's words. "What if it was Balthazar?" Kiro stood up, struck more by the words than the punch. He thought about it then looked at his teammates, "Alright. There's a kid up there so let's go." "Godspeed," Caster smiled as the Keikenranger left the room. Alan turned to Caster, "Who is Balthazar?"
