-[yelps] -[gasps]

[grunts]

What are you… [gasps]

Why aren't we there yet? It's pissing me off.

Be patient. Just a little--

[Fighter XX screams]

Don't tell me what to do, you got that?

[groans]

-Unless you want another hole. -[gasps]

Hold on! Please listen to me!

Huh?

[Fighter D] This fighter is basically a helpless captive right now.

They may be our enemies,

but shouldn't we still treat them with respect?

[breathing heavily]

[scoffs]

[Blue Keeper laughs]

-[Blue Keeper] Our enemy? -Huh?

This thing? Don't get the wrong idea.

When the Dragon Keepers take on monsters,

we're talking about the boss monsters.

[Blue Keeper] It doesn't include weakass fighters.

[annoyed grunt]

They aren't on our level. They're beneath our notice.

Even so, I'm still warning you…

Do not underestimate her or drop your guard.

Those who are beneath you might take you out when you least expect it.

-Huh? -[Fighter XX] Please, just drop it.

It's not that much further, I promise.

[Fighter D] It was this close?

Was XX collecting the keys to keep the cadets from coming here?

Excuse me, can one of you--

[Blue Keeper] Move it.

[loud grunt]

[explosion]

[Blue Keeper] The hell is this?

[gasps]

It's been a while. Looks like you've gotten bigger.

Hit your growth spurt.

[Peltrola] My, my. If it isn't Blue Keeper.

Come to pay me a little visit?

It has been a while. I'm glad to see you.

[Fighter D] A boss monster. So they really are alive!

I'm terribly sorry, Lord Peltrola!

I really didn't want to trouble you but I…

I was unable to handle the situation on my own.

Now, my lord! Please fulfill our mission and kill the Keepers!

[Blue Keeper] Hey. You do realize I'm standing right here.

[Peltrola] Now, now, that's dangerous. You might poke an eye out with that thing.

Why don't we talk this out instead?

I'd hate for this to devolve into senseless violence.

Talking to plants isn't my thing. So shut it and die!

I prefer Plan A!

If you really are a boss monster, then I would like to speak with you.

[Peltrola] Hmm? Who are you?

Don't butt in, peon. This is between me and that thing.

[annoyed grunt]

Hey! This is it. You've crossed the line.

It's the worst crime of all. You deserve death and more.

Divine Artifact, Manifest!

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[scoffs]

[grunts]

[Peltrola groans]

[gasps] Lord Peltrola!

[thudding]

-[scoffs] -You bastard!

-How dare you-- -[Peltrola] XX! Don't be so hasty.

Foolish surface-dweller.

You must realize that I will never submit to the judgment…

-[Fighter D] Why do they sound like that? -…of an inferior creature like yourself.

[Peltrola] Don't you see? I transcend your mortal limitations.

-Huh? -[cracking]

[gasps]

[♪ dramatic music continues]

[Peltrola] I am God.

[cracking]

[Fighter D gasps]

[chuckles]

Behold! The glory of the great Lord Peltrola!

For he… he is the light who will lead us out of the darkness!

This is gonna be good.

[♪ upbeat music playing, Tatsuya Kitani "Preview of Me"]

Divine Artifact, Manifest!

[♪ tense music playing]

[grunts]

-[explosion] -[Fighter D grunts]

You're telling me even a boss monster's no match for him?

-[cracking] -Huh?

[Blue Keeper] They're popping up like bugs.

[Peltrola] This won't end until you find which one is my real body.

I wish you luck.

What a pain!

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[grunts]

[groans]

[thumps]

The clones… they're staying toe-to-toe with Blue Keeper.

No, I might even say they have the upper hand!

Well, of course.

These aren't some lowly fighters like us we're talking about over here.

The boss monsters have the power to destroy the Rangers!

[grunts] Lord Peltrola!

Hey!

[Peltrola] Ah, it's good you're here, XX.

Come. You should pay your respects.

Don't worry. He's an ally of ours. This is D, another fighter.

He once lost his way, serving as a pawn for the Rangers.

But now he's come back to our side.

What's the matter with you? Say something.

Lord Peltrola. It has been… a long time.

[Peltrola] D. You've done well fighting for your fellow monster.

You must have suffered considerably.

Thank you for protecting the fortress.

But now that I've returned, there's no need to fear.

[Peltrola] We have only one desire,

and that has always been world domination.

Will you join us?

[Fighter D] World domination…

[Peltrola] Now then, shall we send the Blue Keeper and other cadets

to join their small friend?

That pathetic little lamb never stood a chance.

[inaudible chatter]

-[blasts] -[Fighter D grunts]

[effort grunt]

[Peltrola] Hmm?

-What? -[grunts]

[Peltrola] D! What is the meaning of this?

[Fighter D] Yeah, about that, um…

My hand kinda slipped and I stabbed you.

[Peltrola] A lowly fighter dares rebel against his lord?

Insolence!

-[Fighter D grunting] -[Peltrola groans]

[Fighter XX gasps] Lord Peltrola…

[Fighter XX] He was… our savior… and you just…

[panting]

Hang on… What did I just do?

[surprised grunt]

How could you betray one of the very beings that gave us life?

Our masters who we swore to obey!

[Fighter XX] You basically just butchered your parent!

I'll never forgive you for what you've done.

You know, when you rescued me from Blue Keeper…

I almost placed my trust in you again.

-So tell me why? -[grunts]

[grunts] I thought that…

that we were comrades.

My comrade?

[inaudible chatter]

[Fighter D] Damn it.

I could care less about that guy, so why… [grunts]

Answer me.

The monsters or the Rangers.

This is your last chance. Which side are you on?

-[both gasp] -[Fighter XX] Lord Peltrola!

[Peltrola] As to be expected of a Dragon Keeper, I guess.

You said this won't end until I kill your real body.

Guess I'll just sniff it out… by cutting you all down!

[grunts] Blue Keeper!

[loud grunt]

[Peltrola] You see, my dear Blue Keeper…

The me you're speaking to now,

as well as the me you're fighting are all my real bodies.

As long as one of me escapes to the surface,

then regardless of the others, I'll have survived.

You've dug your own grave.

I shall again retreat to the surface where food is abundant,

and I will regain my strength in peace.

Hmm?

[Tokita] You visit someone's house and leave without even saying hello?

That's super rude, bro.

[Hisui] Yeah, Boss Monster!

Given our history, there's no need to be shy.

We'll take good care of ya. [snickers]

[all] Divine Artifact, Manifest!

[Peltrola] You don't stand a chance.

[yells]

[exclaims]

[grunts]

Fast-Forward.

[gasps]

[♪ intense action music playing]

We have succeeded.

Look out, old man!

[shocked grunt]

[Hisui] Ugh, so nasty. But I'd know this taste anywhere.

Are you… Peltrola?

[Peltrola] Oh? Someone who's not a Dragon Keeper knows of me?

Are you from the Green Squadron?

[Hisui] You got it. Junior First Rank Kanon Hisui, Green Squadron,

covert monster elimination specialist.

And I've been searching for you a long time.

Tokita!

[yells]

[growls]

[annoyed grunt]

[Suzukiri] Mute.

[Peltrola] Hmm?

We've got you on the ropes, don't we? Are you okay?

Take out the Junior First Ranks. You are a boss monster.

[Peltrola] You're…

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Okay, what are you gonna do now?

-This is… -It can't be!

[loud grunt]

[Peltrola] It would appear I unfortunately

can no longer rely on my clones.

-In that case… -[Fighter XX] No way!

-Lord Peltrola! -[Fighter D] Wait!

[grunts] Let go! My master needs my help.

Don't you see it's over? Just give it up!

[Peltrola] There is no cause for worry.

-[Fighter XX] Lord Peltrola! -Holy crap!

[Peltrola] Allow me to show you the true power of a boss monster.

XX. It takes time to power up this attack.

Meanwhile, protect me at all costs.

[Fighter XX] Leave it to me.

[Blue Keeper] What are you mumbling about?

-Huh? -[Fighter XX grunts]

[gasps]

[both grunt]

[both grunting]

[groans]

-[Peltrola] Oh, my precious XX. -[Fighter XX groaning]

I owe you a debt of gratitude. You have served me well.

[Fighter D] The hell?

They're a boss monster, but they used XX as a shield and ran away.

[staff 1] Make way for our monster overlords!

[Fighter D] After some stuff happened,

the monsters finally achieved world domination.

-[staff 2] Welcome, Fighter-sama. -[Fighter D] Huh?

I'll take your coat, Lord XX. It's no trouble.

-Hey, do I look like XX to you? -[both whimper]

I'm Fighter D. Get it right.

[both whimper] Please accept our apology!

You're lucky I've got a big heart! I forgive you.

-[Fighter D chuckling] -[both] What a benevolent overlord!

[Fighter XX] This is the best cuisine they have on the surface?

I don't like it.

-Hey, cheffy! -[gasps]

Did you call for me?

[Fighter D] The food was good.

This means so much to me! My daughter's a huge fan.

[delighted exhale]

[Fighter D] We live in such a great world now.

-[door opens, closes] -[Yamato] Wow, this place is awesome!

Kurusu, you need to be on your best behavior.

Where's the food? Can't wait!

-[manager] What are you doing here? -[all gasp]

You're interrupting our Monster Lords while they're eating--

-No, no! You can let those guys in. -[grunts]

They're guests I invited.

Hey. It's been a long time, D.

Pardon me for asking this, my lord, but aren't they surface-dwellers?

[Fighter D] Yeah. But they're special.

Eat as much as you want and never forget this moment!

No need to be shy. I've got 10 billion to burn!

Holy cow!

Plus, they're gonna put my face on the new bill

that's getting issued next year!

Money with your face on it?

[Fighter D] You can fit 100 Tokyo Domes in my house!

Nice! I don't get it. What do you mean?

[Fighter D] And when it comes to the ladies,

I've been ranked sexiest monster alive!

I'm so jealous! Things wouldn't be this way

-if I was a Dragon Keeper! -[laughing]

Too late. He already disbanded the entire Ranger Force.

Which I think was for the best.

We had no idea the Dragon Keepers were such horrible people!

Hmm, hmm!

[Ranmaru] And surface-dwellers like us are just as guilty.

Now that we've lost the war,

I can't really say that we have the right to complain no matter how we're treated.

Yeah. That's true.

-[manager] Lord D. -Huh?

I hate to interrupt, but it appears another guest of yours has just arrived.

[Fighter D] What?

-[grunts] -[Peltrola] Oh, this is a nice restaurant.

[Fighter D] Oh, Lord Peltrola…

[Peltrola] Hmm… Call the chef over.

Y-yes, my lord! Is there something I can do for you?

[Peltrola] Did you cook these dishes?

I did.

[blasts]

[♪ tense music playing]

[body thuds]

[Peltrola] Know your place.

How dare you miserable surface-dwellers, an existence far beneath livestock,

devour other living beings? Unforgivable!

[gasps] I'm so sorry!

Guys, run for it!

D… you should calm down.

It'd be an honor to be killed by a boss monster.

We're all surface-dwellers.

And so we deserve to be punished for our sins.

But that doesn't mean…

[Peltrola] All right, this restaurant closes today!

[explosion]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

-[Sakurama] Congratulations. -Huh?

[Sakurama] You finally got what you wanted.

Looks like I lose.

[Fighter D] Sakurama…

This is what things become after the Rangers are no more.

It's the world domination that you've always dreamed of.

[Fighter D] No. You're wrong. This isn't what I wanted to do!

[Sakurama] Except it is.

You've never bothered to ask yourself the question,

just what happens after you dominate the world?

What you saw is the future. If you were to destroy all the Rangers

while the boss monster is still alive, that is.

Every human with whom you've ever shared a bond… will die.

-[gasps] -Including me, of course.

[Sakurama] A bit greedy, isn't it?

To assume you can have your cake and eat it too?

You're making a bad move here. This plan won't turn out like you want.

But it's not too late.

[shaky breathing]

[Sakurama] Not if you and I work together.

Please, give up on destroying, and let's fix things instead.

I… I…

-[Fighter XX] L-Lord Peltrola… -[groans, gasps]

[Fighter XX] Are you safe… Lord Peltrola…

[Fighter D] Stop…

[shaky breathing] I'll join you… soon…

L-Lord Peltrola…

[Fighter D] Peltrola's not here!

[grunts]

[Fighter XX] What should I do?

We fighters… are created for the sole purpose of fighting…

For the prosperity of monsters… and to eliminate the Rangers…

So tell me…

[sobs] What's left?

What am I supposed to fight for?

I get it now. I'm a monster.

[soft groan]

Oh, finally awake, I see.

What happened to me…

[Shion gasps] The keys?

Given what's going on,

I think that's the last thing we should be worried about.

A lot's up in the air, but it looks like monsters have made their way inside.

-[surprised grunt] -Hey, Shion.

Now that you're up, do you still need a shoulder to lean on?

Sorry.

[chuckles]

I'd like one. Truth is, I think I fractured a bone.

Ugh… Usukubo's pretty good.

In any case, the exam should be over by now.

I didn't hear the bell ring, did you?

Sure, it's a crisis.

But who's down for working together to get the keys back?

Does this really seem like it's the time?

'Kay, technically, you didn't say no!

No. We should still stick to the rules.

Which means we don't have any right to get those keys back.

Ugh, you're stubborn!

You're pretty serious about the weirdest things.

[sighs] That's it.

I wasn't able to become an official Ranger in the end.

Shion, Akebayashi, Yukino. I'm so sorry.

Sorry for what?

You know, you don't have to apologize.

No, it's all my fault.

[gasps] Someone's there!

-Let's talk later. -Huh?

We just need to get them to protect us now,

and we can leave the monster extermination work to the higher-ups…

[gasps]

[♪ tense music playing]

-[Akebayashi] What's wrong? -[gasps]

[panting]

[Yukino sighs] I think I've got the wrong person.

You're being kinda weird.

-[Akebayashi gasps] -[Shion] I'm borrowing this!

[Usukubo] Is that really a monster?

Let's join the fight, not sit back!

They said to evacuate!

But we need to check on Koguma and Hibiki!

Hey, over there!

-I think that was… -A monster?

-It just looked like a bird to me… -[grunts]

Kurusu!

I don't know what that is, but we can't let it get away!

[hesitant grunt] What should we do?

-[Shippou whimpers] -Do you think…

Shippou!

-[Nadeshiko yells] -[gasps]

[panting]

[gasps]

[shouts] Get back here!

[gasps]

Shion!

[Shion] A boss monster…

[Peltrola] Who are you?

Who I am doesn't matter. Just know I'll defeat you.

[Shion] I don't care if I'm an official Ranger or just a cadet.

After all, I'm human, and you're a monster,

and that's reason enough to fight!

[Peltrola] Oh, you're a cadet?

Just like that little lamb I slaughtered back there.

The sins of the Rangers are many,

but chief among them is creating rash, impulsive creatures like you.

How pitiful.

Now I shall send you all to join your friend.

[Urabe] Are you talking about Ranmaru?

-Urabe! -So you're safe!

You're the one who took out Ranmaru, huh?

[Peltrola] He was the silly lamb who pointed a blade at me,

unable to escape the Rangers' curse of being hotheaded fools.

[all gasp]

[Peltrola] To prevent further futile conflicts,

it appears that it's finally time to let the surface-dwellers know the truth

about the countless atrocities of the Rangers,

and the unstoppable might of us monsters!

This guy. He really seems to have it in for the Rangers.

Doesn't that go for all monsters?

Screw him. He killed our teammate. We're the ones owed revenge.

Why are you running away to the surface? Why not face us instead?

[Peltrola] Hmm…

-We're worthy of it, aren't we? -We sure are.

Because we're also…

[all] Members of the Rangers!

[Peltrola scoffs] And this is why you'll all die!

-[annoyed grunt] -[footsteps approaching]

Hmm?

[Fighter D] I'm a monster. I'll destroy anyone who gets in my way.

You guys are the ones who made us like this.

I won't side with anyone. The only ally I've got is me.

You may be a boss monster,

but if your ideals don't match mine, you're my enemy.

I don't care if that's selfish. Or if it's a bad move.

I'm a big, bad monster.

I won't be satisfied until everything goes my way!

[♪ upbeat music playing, NANAOAKARI "Seikai Wa Iranai"]

Let's chow down! Whoever eats the most sushi takes the gold!

-I've got this. -[Fighter D and Sakurama] Huh?

[chuckles] It's on!

I'll eat 30 plates, just like that!

Oh, yeah? 31! I'm a bottomless pit!

[Fighter D] Next time, "On the Road to My Justice!"

Well, my stomach's a black hole!

-[Fighter D] More eating, less talking. -[groans]
