Inside that of their small apartment, invisible to the rest of the world, the Dreamrangers known as Syuri, Keiji, and Paige sat in front of a laptop. Their human companion and guide Aimi sitting behind them on a sofa. On the screen was the image of their technical genius from the Dreaming known as Edogawa. The four being in the middle of a video chat via the special computer they were using.

As they all sat around the computer, they listened as Edogawa explained to them that at the moment, he was attempting to get the three fighters some new weapons for their arsenal. Specifically, something he had helped create and wanted them to use. But as he went on, he stated that he was having trouble getting his superiors to allow these inventions to be sent into the realm of humans.

"Why are they holding the process up?" Keiji, known in the group as Dream Blue asked.

"Their reasoning is that it may possibly be dangerous to have our technology in the human realm. Plus there is the added problem of transporting it. With the way it would be done, anybody over there could see it." The scientist explained, pushing up his glasses to rub at his eyes.

Paige, Dream Pink and the ranger's tech member asked if there was anyway to disguise the objects during their moving of them. Edogawa answered, saying that the higher ups were under the impression that even if they were to make the objects invisible until they could be placed safely and secretly in the human world, it may very well be possible that a member of Jung Moroi's court could spot them if they were in the human realm, and thus have info which would give the queen of nightmares an advantage.

"Well damn, isn't that a drag." Dream White A.K.A. Syuri responded, she releasing a sigh of disappointment at the news. "We really could have used some new gear."

"Especially considering the wraiths we've been encountering as of late have been getting stronger." Keiji added in, making the three remember how easily they've been getting tossed around as of late.

"I'm sorry guys. I'll still try to see if I can get the gear to you, but for now...you're on your own."

Aimi, stretched her arms up into the air, she releasing a yawn before speaking some. "I'd hep you if I could guys. But what all could I do?"

"True." Syuri throws in.

"Especially since we always have to save your pathetic ass." Keiji chimed in.

Aimi shot him an expression of annoyance, following it up with a command of him shutting up. The demand raising a scoffing laugh out of him.

Edogawa laughed a little himself at the small conversation the human teenager and warrior were having. He started to speak, but the feed started to get a fuzzy snowy effect. In response, the three tilted their heads some in confusion.

"Paige, fix the computer." Syuri ordered, she slowly laying down on the floor from her sitting position.

Paige made her way over to the back of the computer to inspect the cables. As she looked, she scratched her head, looking puzzled.

"Everything's connected from the look of things." Paige reported as she made her way back to where she was sitting.

"Maybe it's something on Edogawa's side?" Aimi suggested.

Keiji explained that it's doubtful since the connections in the dream realm were rarely ever buggy, only being so under an attack.

"Then what could it be?" Aimi asked.

As the three watched on as Syuri slowly began to drift into sleep, the screen suddenly jolted to pitch black. After what seemed like minutes, a coloration of purple and green illuminated the screen some. As it did so, a soft laugh could slightly be heard. As the laugh came over the sound system of the laptop, Syuri shot up and pushed her way to be in front of the computer, her comrades to her sides with Aimi behind her.

A voice then spoke out in a thin and slow voice. "Hello there followers of Morpheus."

The faces of the three warriors in an instant turned to stone cold seriousness, Aimi's showing a bit of fear and confusion as Jung Moroi's form appeared on the screen for them to see. An icy smirk painted across her lips.

Fifth Dream: Attack of the Amazon Wraith!

The Dreamrangers looked on in contempt and seriousness at their enemy, Aimi sitting there scared.

"I i i...is that...her?" She eventually squeaked out.

"Yep. That would be her royal highness." Syuri answered coldly, she keeping her eyes locked on the image of Jung Moroi that was on the screen.

"Why Syuri, how rude of you. Aren't you going introduce me to your little friend?" Jung cooed out in a taunting fashion.

"Sure. Aimi, this is Jung Moroi. The bitch who brought us to the human realm." Syuri explained to Aimi.

Keiji soon spoke up afterwords, demanding to know what the queen wanted. After scolding him on not asking politely, Moroi spoke up.

"I suppose if you must know, I just wanted to have a nice little chat with the three of you."

"I see..." Syuri started "Then let's chat."

Jung smiled, saying good, good girl at Syuri's accepting of the invitation to talk. Paige then spoke up, asking what the nightmare queen wished to speak about, her voice surprisingly cold and emotionless, a genuine surprise and shock for Aimi.

"Well my dear Paige, I wish to talk about the situation between you three, your king, and myself. Not to mention both of our respective realms, as well as the one that your friend inhabits." Jung explained, pointing to Aimi at the part about the human realm.

"What about us and our realms?" Keiji questions.

"You know, the good old I'm going to murder you three little worms, and take over both of your realms."

Syuri scoffed and laughed. When she spoke, she mocked Jung, informing her that her plans were as dumb as ever. She informed her as most heroes do to villains that want total domination. When she was finished, she grinned at the queen, taunting her by calling her a dumb little idiot whose still mad over a trivial occurrence.

After she finished, Jung stared at the four of them. And after a minute, she burst out into a manic cackling laugh. It so loud that Aimi clutched at her ears from the pain she felt due to the volume of it, the rangers following suit. Eventually, Moroi stopped and the three removed their hands.

"Oh my oh my oh my, how you make me laugh." She slithered out.

The four sat there silent now. Watching their rival with all of their attention.

*Music Cue*

"Let me make this clear you three. I will destroy you all. I will show Morpheus that even his best of fighters can be destroyed. I'm going to prove that all of you are just little weaklings that can easily be destroyed. I am going to serve up a slaughter the likes of which not even the most deranged and sadistic human being could give.

As far as your realms go, they're going to be annihilated as well. Your little king likes to say that dreams are the gateway to everything grand and great in the world. That they can make the bad go away. He will be proven wrong. Dreams may give people joy, but I'm going to turn that joy into pain! I will corrupt all that is pure within the human realm! Dreams will die as nightmares take form! And once everybody loses their precious dreams, and get my hellish nightmares, your kingdom will fall in on itself, and Morpheus will die!

Oh, and that little occurrence you mention, there's nothing trivial about it. That bastard of a king of your's WILL pay for what he did. And there is not a damn thing that will stop me. Not him, not you, not any stupid little human, not anybody!"

The four of them sat in the room in silence. All three of the dream warriors locked on the screen, Paige holding her hand against in an "oh my" type of fashion. Aimi sitting behind them, she shaking in utter fear at this evil creature which swore to destroy everything around her. She was sure she would wet herself in the fear and coldness that had washed over her body, but the shock of it all seemed to have locked down every system in her body.

"Well then...seems you have it all planned out there Jung." Keiji responded finally.

Paige added in "But you forgot something."

"Oh?" Jung began. "What would that be?"

"That we've put down every last wraith you've thrown in front of us. We may have gotten bruised and beaten down a little, but we've continually gotten up and will continue to do so. The only slaughter that will happen will be us, destroying every last enemy you throw in front of us." Syuri said confidently. Paige nodded her head in accompany, Keiji smirking a little at his comrades as they put their opponent in her place. Clearly, they had put her in a check.

"I suppose you're right. But you forgot one thing as well."

"And that is?" Keiji asked tiredly.

Jung smirked a little as he asked. Her golden eyes gleaming with delight as she began to speak. "That to make the enemy fall, you must reach them first."

The three head's tilted a little, some of them being scratched in a state of puzzlement. What exactly do you mean Paige asked. Jung grinned one last time before the screen went black again. And as it did so, the entire ground began to shake violently.

As it did, items began to fall from within the living space. Keiji and the others stood up as the shaking began, and as they heard voices screaming from outside. They then whipped their heads around to a window, watching as a building suddenly exploded in a burst of red and black energy, causing bits of metal, concrete, and glass to fall down to the ground. All four looked at each other before quickly rushing into Aimi's room.

They bolted outside, and were met with a grim sight. Houses were crumbling, fires lit the sky, people were shrieking and running in panic and fear, some even laying on the ground, either injured or dead. Soon, more buildings exploded, and other forms of destruction occurred. The four were confused on what was happening.

That quickly changed though as they heard a guttural growl and shriek. They slowly turned around. And after doing so, they saw what they meant about having to reach the enemy first. For what they saw, while quite a few blocks away, was quite the enemy. It being that of a giant synthetic android like being combined with that of a crab.

The three then looked at each other. Slowly nodding to each other down the line order they stood. Syuri then spoke up, claiming that it's time they go. Before Aimi could even respond, her acquaintances had already vanished, they charging off to fight the creature.

End of commercial break

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As the anrodic crab rampages around Shinjuku, destroying anything it's claws can grab a hold of, and anything that comes into contact with the beam of energy it shoots out of it's mouth. While it does so, the three heroes from the Dreaming appear on top of a building, staring out at their opponent.

"That's one big wraith." Paige notes, looking on as a fierce wind that has been present since the monster's attack blows her hair into her face.

Keiji makes a hum like sound, agreeing with her. "So this is what that witch meant about reaching."

"I guess so. She must have figured that if we can't reach him due to it's height, we won't be able to beat it." Paige adds on.

"I guess she forgot who we are." Syuri chimes in, stepping towards a rail on the side of the building, preventing anybody up there from falling off without offering something to grab onto.

Keiji asks if it's time to go, Syuri answering with her usual response of of course, Paige nodding in addition. The three pull out their Dream Cellulars, proceeding to flip them open. They each then press the familiar golden circle that rests above they keypad, causing the keys to start glowing gold. Afterwards, they then punch in their henshin code of "4-18-5-1-13."

"DREAMSCAPE!" They shout through the roaring of the wind and monster, pulling their arms back into a cocked position. The screen portion of the phone jets out some, flipping onto it's side to point to the right, an antenna popping out where the screen once set.

"OPEN!" They cry out while throwing their arms forward, the phones pointing out to the monster.

Time slows down as individually colored beams shoot out of the screens of the phones. The Dream Cellulars disappear in a flash, the beams shooting backwards to slam into their bodies, forming their suits. Time then speeds back up as light explodes around their heads, forming their helmets. Fully suited up, the three Dreamrangers look at each other, nodding in unison. They turn to face their amazon like enemy, flashing away.

As the monster firs off a volley of it's red and black energy beams, the Dreamrangers appear in front of where the building that got hit once stood, each one of them brandishing their signature weapons.

"Look here crabby pants, I'm not in the mood to fight in an apocalyptic land, so just be a good little nightmare and die quickly." Syuri calls out to the creature, it shrieking violently at her.

"I think it's ignoring you Syuri." Keiji says.

"Gee, what made you think that?"

"Well then..." Paige begins "...I believe we have no choice then."

"Yep." Syuri answers, watching as the android monster crushes a skyscraper with it's claws.

The three then dash in the air, charging right at the wraith. Syuri then jumps upwards, raising her DreamBlade into the air. As she begins to fall, she swing the sword down, it slamming right into the top of the crab's head. However, her blade bounces right off immediately, seemingly causing no impact. Within her helmet, Syuri's face morphs into one of shock. But it slowly turns to one of pain, as the monster slams one of it's claw hands into her body, sending her flying past her teammates into a building a couple yards away.

"SYURI!" Keiji shouts out as he watches his comrade get blown away in one swipe. He then looks at Paige, who seems to be shaking from both the harsh winds, as well as what she just witnessed.

But the two slowly turn back towards the opponent, who has gone back to stomping it's feet against the ground, crushing roads, buildings, cars, and from sounds heard, even people. Keiji grips at the DreamTrident roughly, vanishing in a flash of blue light. When he appears again, it's at the stomach of the beast.

He brings the trident back some, pointing it right at the belly of the beast. He then unleashes it's tips in a furious barrage against the metal like flesh of the wraith. But just like with Dream White's efforts, the attacks do nothing to cause the android any harm. The creature then raises it's knee up, connecting with the stomach of Dream Blue, causing him to scream in agony. The monster then grabs him with one of it's claws, squeezing him tightly for minutes before throwing him down to the ground, Keiji slamming into a van.

This nightmarish monster then slowly turns around to face a business office building after feeling a bit of a poking sensation. On the roof of the building stands Paige, firing away rapidly with her DreamShooter at the monster. Her blasts slam into it's arms, head, and chest, but do no damage. The wraith, agitated by this let's out another shriek, it so loud that Paige slams her hands against her helmet to try and block out the noise. The shout also being loud enough to shatter every window in the area.

The beast throws it's head back, and slams it forward to look at the ground, releasing a single wide beam of it's dark energy. The beam rips into the ground, burning into the Earth itself. Paige then turns around, she beginning to run as fast as she can as the beam makes it's way to the office building where she is standing. As it collides with the building, the materials which made it begin to fly up into the air, causing Paige to stumble as the beam continues to make it's way towards her. She unfortunately trips on an uprooted pipe, and screams as she falls off the building's roof, beginning to fall to the ground.

As she is about to hit the ground, Aimi catches her out of nowhere, apparently she had been following her friends and heroes. As she catches Dream Pink, she falls to the ground, sliding on the road a little before stopping. When she does, Paige looks over at her.

"Aimi! What are you doing here!?" She asks somewhat angered.

"I I wanted to come to help in case you needed it." She explains softly.

"Well I'm grateful, but you shouldn't be here, it's too dan..."

Before Paige can finish her sentence, she hears one of the nightmare's growls, causing her to quickly look up, Aimi following suit. What they see is one of the android crab's feet falling down towards them, the intention being to stomp them out. Paige grabs hold of Aimi, burying her against her body to act as a shield. However the foot is soon detoured, and swings around, crushing a car instead of the two girls. Paige let's go of Aimi, who notices the flashing away of a sphere of white energy, and a beam of red energy. When they move their eyes some, they see Syuri standing in front of them, her suit ripped in several places, some blood trickling out of her side.

"This big bastard is starting to really piss me off." She says tiredly.

Paige slowly stands up, she still clutching her weapon as she walks to stand next to her commander.

"Aimi...leave this place now before you get hurt." Syuri commands Aimi, her voice filled with more cold then usual. Aimi shocked at her tone of voice finds herself unable to move. When Syuri turns her head to look some, she sighs a little before vanishing off with Paige, leaving Aimi still sitting stiff on the road.

The two Dreamrangers reappear onto of a skyscraper like building. As they watch the city getting destroyed, Keiji joins them, he bent over some and limping due to his assault.

"You still alive Keiji?" Syuri asks her comrade.

He answers back with a painful you know it. Syuri scoffs some as he works his way to stand by her.

"None of our attacks have seemed to do anything." Paige restates.

"It's like that thing was made out of fucking diamonds." Keiji replies, huffing and puffing.

"Well then, let's scratch a diamond with a diamond." Syuri suggests.

"Are you suggesting that we use the DreamCannon on it?"

"It's all we got left to try Paige."

"I say we go for it." Keiji chimes in.

After a little bit, Paige nods in agreement.

Paige then lays the DreamShooter out sideways. Keiji follows up by placing the DreamTrident on the top part of the handle. Syuri flips her weapon around to put it into it's gun blade form, placing it under the handle and DreamTrident. As she takes hold of the handle, Keiji and Paige grab onto her.

They stand there waiting. Eventually, the monster turns to look at the skyscraper where they stand. After it does so, Syuri takes in a deep breath.

"DreamCannon, blast off!" The three rangers shout, Syuri slamming her hand against the trigger on the handle of the DreamShooter.

As it's ball of multi colored energy shoots off, the wraith lets out another shrieking growl, firing off a sphere of red and black energy, it's sphere bigger then the one the rangers shot off. The two energy balls collide, struggling for a little bit as the three watch on. But then, beneath the helmets, their faces turn to pure shock and horror, as the monster's energy wins over their's. This causes the two spheres to combine and fire back at the skyscraper.

The light of combined energy fills their eyes as the energy sphere slams into the skyscraper. The building then suddenly implodes collapsing in on itself with the Dreamrangers falling down with it. Aimi, who saw this from a few blocks away cries out her friends' names in terror, and begins to run towards the once skyscraper, the monster moving on away from that block.

Within her throne room, Jung Moroi cries out in her maniacal laughter as she watches the scene unfold.

"YES! YES! DIE DREAMRANGERS! D I E! DIE!" She shouts out while continuing to cackle.

Eventually Aimi reaches the skyscraper, people around it sitting or laying injured, or trying to crawl, limp, or walk away. She runs to the rubble of the skyscraper, and begins picking at it, trying to find her friends. After digging for what seems like hours, and probably is, she falls down in horror. She has found her friends, they laying buried in debris, bloody, broken, and unconscious. Aimi begins to cry as she looks at them. She sits there forever, crying for the discovery she has made.

But after a while, she notices Keiji's hand twitching. She crawls over to the three, watching as his hand twitches. Slowly, his eyes begin to twitch as well, trying to open. Aimi smiles a little but continues to cry. The monster continuing to destroy the city, the nightmare queen's laughter continuing to ring out in her realm.
