"Electricity," Bukarates said.

"Ok!" Sanbashu shouted as he aimed his weapon at the door leading towards his chambers. "Doretto!" he shouted as he blasted the door open. A tall, slender centipede monster stepped out onto the deck. "Go to the city and gather electricity."

"That is what I do best, general," the monster said as a grin spread across his face.

"If you run into the Gingaman," Zaihabu commanded. "Kill them."

Hikaru walked along the busy streets of the city with Ryuuta as he ate a hotdog. "Hayate just doesn't understand," he said. "What good are these powers if we can't use them?"

Ryuuta shrugged, having little knowledge on the subject. "I'm sure the horses are grateful at least."

Hikaru stopped as he saw a strange gathering in the plaza. A crowd had gathered around several individuals strangely dressed while performing a variety of tricks.

"What are those people?" Hikaru asked.

Ryuuta's face grew bright. "They're magicians and jugglers. They're really cool."

Hikaru saw one magician trying to impress a few passersby with little success. He smiled as he turned to Ryuuta. "Watch this..."

Hikaru ran over to the man. "Let me show you how's it done." He turned to the crowd and lifted his hands into the air. "Hey! You guys want to see something really cool? I'm the amazing Hikaru, and this, is my Aasu."

He pointed his finger towards the ground, and a small yellow lightning bolt shot out, striking the pavement. The crowd opened their eyes in amazement.

Ryuuta wrinkled his brow as the people started to clap. "I don't really think he should be showing off," he said quietly.

In a downtown apartment building, a woman was vacuuming her floor when the wall was blasted in. Doretto stepped forth from the hole.

"Sorry to barge in," he said as he extended two red tentacles that wrapped around electric devices and began sucking energy from them.

The woman tried to quietly escape by crawling through the hall, but she screamed and fainted when a group of Yattatoo blocked her path.

"Something tells me this is going to be fun," the monster said.

After having used every source of electricity in the apartment complex, they moved through the streets towards their next target while passing a small grove of trees.

Moku's eyes snapped open, having seen the Balban through the eyes of the trees in Stone Canyon. "Balban!" He shouted.

The four teens and Boku turned to a view screen that rippled to life on the west wing of the chamber.

"What's it doing?" Gouki asked.

"Nothing good, Boku," the small acorn said as he hovered in the air.

"Doretto is absorbing electricity from the city and causing great damage," Moku said. "You can see now that the Balban will stop at nothing to revive their ship."

Ryouma nodded. "Where's Hikaru?"

"He's not answering my hails. I will keep trying to each him," Moku said.

The monster was leaving the city and entering a suburb when the four Galaxy Rangers arrived while running in animal-like poses.

"Balban!" Galaxy Red shouted as they came to a stop and assumed fighting stances. "You won't revive Daitanix. Not while were around."

"I'm a living power house," Doretto said as he, his soldiers, and the Rangers began to circle around each other. "What makes you think you can stop me?"

A red tendril sprang from his hand, and he used it to whip the Rangers across their chests one by one. Doretto twirled the whip around and wrapped it along Galaxy Green's throat, then tugged him off of his feet. Galaxy Green used the momentum to his advantage, flipped through the air, and double kicked the centipede creature in the face.

The four Rangers regrouped as Yattatoo circled around the monster to protect him. "Gingaman...Daitanix will be revived, and I am the key to doing so." The villains tele-skipped backward and retreated before the Rangers could stop them.

Hikaru flashed another bolt into the air as the crowd continued to applaud. The magician he had talked to earlier walked around the audience with a hat to collect donations.

Hayate walked up behind the gathered people and sighed with disappointment as he watched his friend show off his powers.

Hikaru noticed his friend and immediately felt a lump swell in his throat. He stepped aside and went to speak to Hayate. They moved over to a fountain that Ryuuta sat on the edge of. The young one was curious as to how the confrontation would progress.

"I can't believe this," Hayate said. "We were off fighting while you were here showing off for profit."

Hikaru held up his hands. "Hey, now I wasn't going to keep any of that money. The magician can have it."

"So you're letting him use you," Hayate corrected. "That's almost worse."

"Our Aasu is ours to do with as we please," Hikaru said. "It's not like I was hurting anyone, I just wanted to have a little fun."

"You can't use your Aasu for fun," Hayate said. "The power we have is to be used responsibly. Why you were here having your fun, we were out fighting, defending this city. That and..."

"And what?"

"This is part of a bigger problem. You rely too much on your Aasu."

"What?! Stop lecturing me, Hayate," Hikaru snapped.

Hayate shook his head and walked away. "Fine."

Doretto was in the Balban castle with the captain, Sherinda, Bukarates and Sanbashu. Bukarates was siphoning the energy the monster had collected into a wide array of containment spheres.

"It isn't enough," Bukarates said.

"What?" Zaihabu moved closer towards the troll while readying his claw.

"We don't have another 3,000 years," Sanbashu said.

"Wait, wait," Bukarates said as he held up his hands. "I have something that may make the process go faster."

"May make it go faster?" Sherinda asked.

"It will," Bukarates said as he looked through a variety of items on his desk. He found a gray cylinder object. "This will boost Doretto's power."

He tossed the small cylinder down the creature's throat.

Hikaru walked through the streets at night near a small amusement park as he chewed on an apple he'd bought with some money the magician had given him.

"Used...phft," Hikaru said as he took a bite of the apple. He sat on a bench and sighed. He looked up just in time to see several city lights blink out. He wrinkled his brow with confusion.

Hikaru looked around as the streets became black, and he saw Doretto sparking with energy as he drained power from the city.

"So..." Hikaru said with a cocky grin. "I rely too much on my Aasu, huh?
