Chapter 1: Pirates at the Shore

Entertainment City, Pasay – Early Afternoon

The sunlight glinted off Manila Bay, the air thick with the scent of salt and gasoline. Crowds bustled near SM Mall of Asia, unaware of the storm about to hit.

Two figures emerged from a nearby grocery store—one with sharp eyes and gold hair tied in a messy ponytail, the other carrying far too many shopping bags and wearing his heart on his sleeve.

"Oi, Luka," Gai Ikari groaned, balancing bags of rice, canned goods, and a box of snacks. "Captain Marvelous is gonna kill us if I drop any of this."

Luka Millfy shot him a look over her shoulder, swinging a bag of chips.

"Relax. You drop one thing, you're swabbing the deck for a week."

They turned toward the pier where the Gokai Galleon floated in stealth mode—but before they could take three steps, screams tore through the street.

Pedestrians fled in every direction as twisted, insectoid shadows poured out from the corners of the boulevard—Anarchids, Medusa's newest creations, chittering as they tore through cars and storefronts.

Gai's eyes widened.

"Oh no—those aren't Zangyack troops!"

Luka's gaze dropped to the spilled groceries trampled under clawed feet. Her jaw tightened.

"Tch... first they ruin my day off, now my snacks? That's it—ENOUGH!"

Without hesitation, she dropped her bag, drew her cutlass, and charged.

The nearest Anarchid screeched as her blade cleaved through its core. Sparks rained like fireworks. Gai followed close behind, flipping his Mobirate open.

"Let's make it flashy!"
"GOKAI CHANGE!"

The streets erupted with silver and gold light.

Chapter 2: Cerberus's Challenge

At Dr. Nick's mansion, alarms blared.

The Archrangers had gathered in the newly expanded training chamber—targets shifting, combat simulators flashing as they tested new techniques under Faith's quiet supervision.

Faith, clad in casual clothes and a golden data visor, watched them train. Her guidance was precise—every motion disciplined, every strike purposeful.

Then Dr. Nick burst in, panting, a tablet in hand.

"Team! Cerberus has been sighted in Pasay—he's attacking civilians!"

Yuki's eyes blazed.

"What's that mutt up to this time?!"

"No clue," Dr. Nick said, "but the readings show another general with him—Envy."

The room fell silent. Envy. One of Lucifer's original Sins. That meant trouble.

Hikari clenched his fist.

"Let's move!"

Moments later, the Archrangers were gone—vehicles roaring out of the hangar like thunder.
