Grydon wasn't gonna waste the opportunity Mir'aziel had created and quickly rolled away from Uion after the Blue Ranger hit him in the chest. "Thanks!" He yelled to her as he got back up. He didn't feel like taking another boosted hit from the officer but it wasn't like he had any ranged attacks so he had to take the risk, besides it was part of his job.

Before Grydon could charge back in though an Imperial Soldier was knocked into Uion making him wonder which Ranger did that and why he hadn't thought of it. Before he could figure it out though Ven jumped back into the fray despite being possibly in worse shape than he was. "Everyone, if we focus on him, we can win this!"

Not wanting the teamleader to be the only one putting himself in danger Grydon didn't think twice and rushed Uion again, holding his axe in front of his chest to hopefully act as an shield somewhat.

Raziel felt a momentary triumphant glee when she saw her strike hit, only to then be severely dismayed as Uion grasped her arm. She'd then gasped, struggling to get herself free from Uion's arm. Then suddenly been dropped as a flying imperial trooper crashed into him then gotten back to her feet, reestablishing her grip on her weapons. Who'd thrown the trooper? Viv wasn't that strong, was he? Raziel turned and caught her rescuer standing there, dark claw visible. Her eyes then widened. Who are you?

"Everyone, if we focus on him, we can win this!"

She turned back to the fight. "On it!" Then ran and charged for Uion's back again, pistol and rapier at the ready to exploit another weaknesses in his armor.

The stunt she pulled had somehow worked. Although it had only been a momentary diversion for Uion, that was all the rangers needed to recover and regroup. But now, Sarah's cover was blown. The officer wouldn't spare her after what she'd done. She turned to run, but the other soldier from before was already attacking from behind! 'Crap, crap crap!' It was all she could do to dodge the quick slashes of his weapon. She tried hopping back, but he quickly pursued and sent her tumbling over a pile of wreckage.

"Ugh..." She had to pull herself together quickly - the soldier was right behind her and his weapon was at a lethal angle. What would her brother think if she was killed by some faceless tool like him? Sarah jumped to her feet and slapped away the trident with her claw. He went for another thrust, but this time she grabbed the weapon with her monstrous hand, catching him by surprise. Her human right hand was still free, so she threw a punch right at his helmet. Again, and again! It wasn't having the desired effect - the soldier was about to start grappling her.

"No more holding back!" she threw him off, but followed with a high leap. Before her opponent could get his footing, she was coming down on him with a full power downward kick! She struck his shoulder and smashed him into the ground. The soldier's body bounced back up from the force of the impact, but did not seem to stir again. Sarah huffed and tried to rise to her feet after another improvised landing.

Ven could see where he was could see the stranger who was fighting with the last of the imperial soldiers. He would ignore her now as the fight with Uion was more important. So along with his fellow Power Rangers, with his swords ready to go. He charged Uion and despite still being in an empowered stance. Having to defend from three sides was still a challenge for the Imperial lieutenant. While he was able to defend himself from two of them, mainly Ven and Grydon. Blocking the attack from Ven and Grydon. Seeming on the defense, he would fail to defend the angle from the Blue Ranger. Thus leaving his back open for an attack by Raziel for a limited time.

Also, all could see that the low yellow aura around Uion was starting to fade, and his speed and strength were starting to fade. But, the proud imperial tried not to show weakness despite failing empowerment.

Sarah would find that the remaining imperial troopers near her had been eliminated, none were showing signs of getting up. She was now in the clear and now had a choice. Stay, where she was either help end the battle or simply watch. But also take this time to leave and see the rangers at another time given the rangers are still distracted. Though when she will have another opportunity to see the rangers in person. So the choice is hers.

The attack Grydon expected never came, simply because he wasn't the only one rushing at Uion. Both Ven and Mir'aziel'thraw also charged him, and the officer was unable to defend against the Blue Ranger's attack from behind. A back attack might not be the noblest way to take down an enemy Uion was tough enough it a necessity. In fact while the aura faded away Uion still seemed as strong as ever.

Grinning wildly Grydon ignored the all the pain and switched to an offensive stance. He quickly looked around to make sure he wouldn't hit any of his allies and swung his ax in a circle. It was a wide swing going more for power than finesse.

Uion's aura was flickering. He couldn't defend all sides of him and focused on the two obvious warriors, leaving his back exposed.

Raziel didn't hesitate. She took her sword and plunged it through the opening Uion had left. With this, she was sure the battle was won.

Uion, when Raziel plunged her sword into his back. It was the last blow that was needed. Uion let out a pained yell and was unable to stop Grydon's axe from connecting and slashing Uion's body. Ven was about to attack with his own twin swords, but Uion fell to his knees and steadied himself with his axe. Ven stopped and waited to see if Uion would get back up.

As Uion's aura was fading fast, and he knew he was done. Did he usher out some final words to his enemies. Sounding tired yet proud, Uion spoke to the rangers. "This... means nothing, just because you bested me does not mean the invasion will fail. This is just the beginning, and I am just sorry that I have failed.... Glory to the empire, glory to the...." That was the last words he would say before his aura completely disappeared and without its strength to keep him going. Uion collapsed to the ground, and Ven, waited some moments to see if Uion would rise again. He did not, and his body was deathly still. Ven breathed an easy sigh of relief at this.

They had won, the first battle of the invasion, and they had won. Though both he and Grydon had been injured, but no one died and Ven was just glad that despite how strong Uion was. He could still be beaten, perhaps a sign of what is to come and their struggle against the Velcon Empire. A fight that Ven was eager to do, though he had questions about this first battle. He will find them after he recovers. "We did it, and I knew we could do it," Ven said congratulatory to his fellow rangers.

But, now as Ven gripped his chest as it still hurt, there was one question that he had that could be answered right now. So, without saying anything, he, with a purpose, walks over to Sarah. The unlikely ally who appeared during the fight and while she only fought against the troopers and did little. She still played her part in the fight.

Ven, no longer gripping his chest, asked her a single question. "Who are you?"
