Zeddmare had the Folgore Rangers surrounded. Harpoon spread his lucky items all around the Folgore Zord, hoping that they'd do something.
"Luck? I spit on your luck!" Zeddmare bellowed, as he smashed his Zord into the Folgore Zord, sending it flying into space.
"We need a boost, and our forward inertia will propel us to Earth eventually!" Boron said. "But what is strong enough to get the Folgore Zord to move now that we're in space? Refa-5 can't exactly give us a push when there's nothing for him to push off of." Everyone was silent as the enemies started closing in. Impy suddenly perked up, and practically shoved Doku out of the pilot's seat.
"I have an idea! Gurren Lagann is a Shonen, right? That means we can use Spiral Energy to get us home! but the problem with that is, when I run out, I'm going to be pretty much done. You can't force Spiral Energy, or else you get really sick...But there's no time for that! We gotta go!" A core drill appeared around her neck, and a little hole for it appeared inside the Zord. She took it off of her neck and put it into the hole. "Folgore Zord, spin on!" She said, all while giving it a hard, manly twist. there was a bright flash of green light that vaporized the first wave of the enemies coming for them. The Zord then rocketed off, faster than Zeddmare or anyone else could go. "The thing is, Spiral Energy is so powerful, I think I can only use this for 10 seconds!" They kept zooming, for 10 seconds, until the engine suddenly started sputtering. Impy was fortifying herself with the Spiral Energy, but it wasn't enough to boost the time limit. Blood started to trickle out of her nose, and she looked like she was about to puke.
"Impy, that's enough! you're going to completely burn yourself out at this rate!" Doku said, trying to get ehr to give up the controls.
"But we aren't even halfway there yet!" She protested. The Spiral Energy gauge was fluctuating, quickly draining. It wasn't long until all of the Spiral Energy was gone, and the Core Drill disappeared. Impy slumped over. "I could only get you about halfway...I'm sorry guys. It feels like I'm losing consciousness too...Later, everyone." She completely blacked out.
"No!!!" Doku said, gently taking her off of the controls.
"We can't do anything about it now. Besides, it looks like Zeddmare will catch up to us in a few minutes. Looks like we don't have enough inertia to outrun them." Bonsai said. "So, what do we do now?" Doku stopped to think. He kept thinking until Zeddmare showed up, but he had nothing to show for it.
"Are you done running away?" Zeddmare asked. There was a high level of irritation in his voice. Doku turned around the Zord, so it was facing Zeddmare and his armada.
"Looks like we have no choice but to fight!" Doku said.
"Are you crazy?!" Darros protested. "There's only one of us, and there's like, a million of them! We'll get killed!"
"Correction: there's eight of us." Doku said defiantly.
"Really, with Impy out cold, that makes seven. You don't need to be a math major to know that." Bonsai chimed in. Doku rubbed his temples.
"Ok then, there's seven of us. What I'll do is I'll eject everyone's normal Zords and we'll fight that way! 13th brought up his Zord even after the engine was taken out of the Folgore Zord, I think, so we should be able to fight that way!" Doku said. He turned to Refa-5. "Refa-5, take the cookie and go in Impy's Zord, and keep her safe. Keep her away from the fight so nobody gets hurt. Especially the cookie."
"Will do." Refa-5 said, as he grabbed the cookie and sat next to Impy, so he'd appear in her Zord. Doku pressed a big red button and everyone's Zords were ejected. 13th's car appeared. Bonsai's Zord appeared as a giant copy of one of the volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica, Boron's Zord appeared as an atom, Harpoon appeared as a 4-leaf-clover, Darros appeared as a name plate that kept switching around, Impy's appeared as a giant Shonen Jump magazine, and Doku's appeared as none other than Parco Folgore, the grandfather of the Folgore Rangers.
"All right Folgore Rangers, let's boogie!" Doku said, before starting to charge into the mass of enemy battleships. Everyone started to do the same. Boron saw that she had a periodic table of elements as a part of her controls, and decided to test it out. She pressed Oxygen.
"You have released oxygen into space." a computer in her Zord said. She wondered what good that would do, but she saw it when an enemy ship opened fire on her Zord. The shots from the enemy were superheated, and as a result, ignited the oxygen field she had sprayed in front of her and blew it up.
"All right!" Boron said, releasing oxygen all over her area, creating a dangerous minefield for anyone who dared to mess with her. 13th had a different approach to taking out enemies. He was ramming his Zord into them, and hoping that they would become disabled/blow up. His tactic was working for the most part. However, they were still horribly outnumbered.
"Go my minions! Attack! Slaughter them all! HAHAHAHAHAAH!" Zeddmare was commanding. All of Zeddmare's forces were starting to open fire all at once. Harpoon created a giant horseshoe and started clubbing enemies. He then threw it like a boomerang and took out a straight line of forces. Bonsai appeared right next to him, and started reciting Juliet's most well-known soliloquy. It became a text wall that he used as a shield, as he threw text bricks at his attackers. Darros used his newfound powers to create a duplicate of him with a different name, and then they teamed up, back to back, obliterating anyone that got near. Amidst all of the explosions of all of the small enemies, Doku still hadn't found out how to use his power. He was just throwing every enemy he encountered around.
"Come on, where are my powers?" He asked, banging on the controls of his Zord. Zeddmare laughed.
"What's the matter? You don't have any powers? Aww, what a shame! I guess you'll be easy to destroy then!" Zeddmare's Zord floated over to Doku's Zord.
"Curse you, Zeddmare!" Doku cursed. Boron looked over and saw Doku engaging Zeddmare in a battle. She opened up a comminucae channel to him.
"Doku, what are you doing?! You can't take him on your own!" She shouted. She didn't notice that she was floating too close to one of her oxygen pockets, and it ignited, blowing her up. "AAARGH!" She screamed, as she was thrown backwards.
"Boron, are you all right?" Harpoon asked over communications.
"Yeah, I'm all right, just shaken. Look, Doku's in trouble! We need to go back and help him, everyone!" She replied, gunning it over to Doku. She was blocked by a squadron. "Out of my way!" She said, before firing some lightning out of her Zord, blowing them up. She was met with more. Darros had finished up with multiple enemies, and made his clone disappear. When he did, he was attacked in the back.
"YAAARGH!" He cried out. It was clear that after the first wave, the Folgore Rangers weren't in a position to keep up the offense. They were losing momentum quickly, getting beaten back. Some of the enemies saw that Impy's Zord was doing nothing, and they went to attack her, prompting the Rangers to go and defend her, where they were led into a trap. There were explosions everywhere, but admist the flames of the explosions, they were still there, heavily damaged, but still able to fight.
"You're a monster, Zeddmare!" Doku shouted.
"I know!" He replied with a maniacal laugh before ramming his Zord into Doku's. He pressed the attack, beating Folgore Red back every change he got. Refa-5 was helpless and could only watch from the window of Impy's Zord, hopeful that everyone would be ok, but he wasn't too sure. the term 'Strength in numbers' definitely applied here.
"How did we start losing?!" Bonsai shouted, still trying to brick his enemies with sonnets.
"I don't know, but we can't stop here!" Darros replied, throwing an enemy off of Bonsai. "Now we need to get stronger!"
"I don't see how!" 13th shouted while plowing through enemies. "They just keep coming! It's impossible! We're going to lose!" he added.
"Don't say that! We'll get through this, we always do!" Harpoon said, impaling an enemy with a lucky rabbit's foot. "We'll never lose, because we're the Folgore Rangers, right?" Doku heard everyone's conversation over the communications channels. He could hear the screams of his friends as they were being tossed around like ragdolls. It didn't help that he, too, was getting jostled around. Impy's comm went on. It was Refa-5.
"Everyone, you can't just give up here! We came too far to just give up! I know that I'm not in a position to talk right now, since I can't fight, but you were doing so well! I know you guys can do this, and so can you! We have a job to do and that means we have to see it through to the end! We can't just lose! that's not how the Folgore Rangers work and you know this! Get out there! Curse everything! Boogie your way to a win! There's no other path to take than the path to victory! Come on Folgore Rangers, boogie on!" He said triumphantly. Doku had enough. He threw Zeddmare off of him.
"Refa-5, you're right! We need to stop getting beaten up! We're better than this! Let's show them what the Folgore Rangers are made of! Your leader, Folgore Red, will take you into battle, and we're going to come out of it alive, you hear?!" Just then, a bright red light flashed inside his Zord. A small panel opened up and there was a big red button that said 'Activate Boogie power'. He pressed it, and Parco Folgore's boogie song started playing, filtering through the communications and actively synching up everyone's Zords.
"Folgore Rangers, attack!" Doku commanded, and everyone started fighting again. The difference was incredible. Though still fighting on their own, they were much more coordinated with their attacks, and they were doing a lot more damage. Zeddmare watched as his forces thinned out.
"No...How dare you! How dare you!!!" he bellowed, before charging Boron. He ran into an oxygen field and blew up. "ARGH! I won't stop! I took Saku's cookie from her, and I will take it back and eat it! It's mine, I tell you, mine!!!" His attacks started getting a little more frantic. He went to rush Impy's Zord, when eh was blocked by Doku. Doku grabbed Zeddmare's Zord and started dancing with him! However, this dance wasn't any kind of dance. As Doku was spinning Zeddmare around and around, he was also slamming the Zord into the other enemy ships, causing them to explode.
"Wow! this is spectacular!" Refa-5 exclaimed, before turning to the still unconscious Impy. "I really wish you could see this." Doku kept spinning Zeddmare around.
"Stop...I'm going to be sick if you keep this up!" Zeddmare shouted. He was sounding pretty sick. he pushed Doku off of him, and started adding the rest of the enemy ships to his Zord, making it bigger. "I refuse to lose to the likes of you!" He started firing laser beams at the Rangers.
"Folgores, let's take this down! Let's become the Folgore Zord!" the Folgores did as they were told. They weren't as big as Zeddmare's improved Zord, however.
"Bwahahahaha! Didn't you forget that we stripped your Folgore Zord of your cursing engine?! You're dead in the water like that!" Zeddmare exclaimed, going in for a kill shot, Doku, however, had another plan. The Thrusters fired and propelled the Folgore Zord straight into its attacker. "Argh-What?" Zeddmare asked, reeling back from the attack.
"Spinning around wasn't to dance with you, Zeddmare! It was to take your engine! I didn't know that you were going to merge with the others, so I guess you still have engines, but now we're on better ground!" He kept attacking. Zeddmare grabbed the Folgore Zord, smashed it with his Zord's knee, and then threw it. The impact threw Impy around, and she woke up.
"Look who finally decided to join the party." Bonsai said.
"Impy! How are you feeling?" 13th asked.
"I'm feeling fired up! Let's fight!" She replied. Zeddmare attacked them again.
"Gaining your eigth member won't help you at all! you're still going to lose!" Zeddmare said, impaling the Folgore Zord with a saber.
"That's where you're wrong, Zeddmare! Everyone, let's combine our powers and defeat Zeddmare!" Doku said. "EAT THIS! It's our super combination of everything Folgore Rangers attack! Self-proclaimed leader power!"
"Science power!" Boron added.
"Bad driving skills power!" 13th chirped.
"English major power!" Bonsai chimed in.
"Luck power!" Harpoon cheered.
"Name changing power!" Darros hollered.
"And Shonen power! Together it creates-" Impy said, before everyone finished her sentence in unison.
"THE FOLGORE RANGERS GIGA BOOGIE FINISHER!!!" Text bricks started pelting Zeddmare's Zord as the Folgore Zord split into two. The second, unmanned Zord started spewing chemicals that created explosions that would put Michael Bay to shame, as the primary one started shooting horseshoes. It then went Super Saiyan and recklessly drove into Zeddmare's Zord, then grabbed it and started to boogie, spinning it around and around and around.
"No! Stop...! I'll get sick!" Zeddmare almost pleaded. He had too much pride to do that though. He was swung and let go, and he kept spinning and spinning all the way back to the buttlair. "Mark my words, Folgore Rangers, I will return, and when I do, I will destroy you all! If you think that my rage is bad now, just wait until I retur-BLARGH!!!"
"It's finally over..." Harpoon said.
"Yay, now I can eat Saku's cookie-I mean, we will return it to her! Let's go back!" Doku said happily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the juice bar, Crash and Marth were nowhere to be seen, presumably kicked out. Saku was still there, looking around anxiously for the Rangers. When she saw them, she ran over to them.
"There you guys are! How was it? were you all successful?" She asked. Doku reluctantly handed the cookie over to her. "My cookie!" she was so happy. "thank you, all of you, for bringing it back. It's not in one piece anymore, but that's all right!"
"Are you sure? I can restore the cookie back to the way it was before Zeddmare took it." Impy chimed in, preparing her Shonen powers.
"I'm sure, because now I can share it with all of you, because I'm so happy that you got it back!" She said, reaching in the bag and handing everyone a piece. they all got a glass of milk, and enjoyed the cookie with everyone's company. Eliedon was watching them from his place in Impy's house.
"Yep, another job well done. I salute you, Folgore Rangers. You've earned this break." He said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the buttlair, Zeddmare was laying in his bed, still sore from his defeat. Camdar came in with a bowl of soup.
"Here Lord Zeddmare, I brought you some soup! I made it out of a can, and I followed the instructions, so there's no way that I could have messed it up." he put it in a tray and gave it to Zeddmare.
"Thank you Camdar, that was surprisingly...not incompetent of you." He said, hesitantly eating a spoonful. It actually tasted good.
"You're welcome Lord Zeddmare! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go take care of Horita. I tried making soup from scratch fro him, but I gave him food poisoning so he's getting sick everywhere. That's why I made you soup from a can." he went to leave, but he tripped over his untied shoelaces. He scurried out.
"Stupid Folgore Rangers, I'll be back. Mark my words..." He said menacingly.
