As Dawn continued to cleave through the sea of enemies while dodging the attacks of one Colossus, another began to charge recklessly at her from the side with another battalion of Tentibozu beside it. Though before she even had a time to react, a line of explosions went off across the battlefield – one of which tore into the approaching wave of enemies, vaporizing the smaller Tentibozu and leaving the half vaporized remains of the Colossus tumbling to the ground.
As she turned towards the direction of the attack, there in the distance, she saw another one of those alabaster-cannons falling off the cliffside.
"Cutting it a little close there, eh Froggy Legs?" she radioed.
"YOU ARE IN NO POSITION TO TALK!!!!!" he yelled, his voice echoing across the icy wasteland so loudly that she didn't even need the intercoms. "But that's the last of the cannons."
"Nice! Almost done here myself"
Dawn slide under the Colossus's legs and cleaved the last few Tentibozu behind it in two before circling back around and decapitating the massive creature. And just as its body began to fall to the ground lifelessly, she immediately jumped on its back and drove her blades into the wriggling mass, the Zukasa that was trying to emerge and flee.
"Where's the others?" he radioed as he began to make his way down the cliff wall
"Time was of the essence, so I sent them inside while we covered their retreat! But with the crisis now averted, I guess I'll head in myself".
"SO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LEAVE ME OUT HERE" he again yelled, still a mile or two away from the vault.
"Not my fault you're so far away"
"YOU DROPPED ME OUT OF A PLANE!!!!"
"Oh yeah!" she laughed to herself as the snow around them suddenly began to blow from the opposite direction, and an ear piercing scream echoed across the wasteland.
As the two looked up, they could see a large shadow moving through the cloud cover. It flew past, circling around the vault structure and disappearing for a moment.
"What the hell was that?"
"Reinforcements I'm guessing." Dawn's grip on her blades tightened.
Moments later, the form of a massive Zukasa – at least 3 times the size of a regular one, with multiple spines running down the base of its form – emerged from the cloud cover.
It flew towards Dawn as she quickly dodged out of the way; but she wasn't its target. The creature rested atop the decapitated Colossus behind her and began to ooze into its form. At the same time, large tendrils shot out from the body in every direction, tethering themselves to the countless decomposing corpses of Tentibozu and Colossi that littered the battlefield – as if siphoning their body mass back towards itself.
"Uh, Dawn, you might want to get out of there"
"I'll be fine" she assured as the undulating mass began to take a more stable form. "Keep moving and go back up the other two! Leave this thing to me!"

As the Bewear and Infernape Ranger searched the underwater cave, all they found were seamless stone walls and an array of stalactites and stalagmites. Beside the light of the talisman, the space was completely dark. After about 20 minutes or so, their bodies freezing, they finally found an exit.
Behind one of the stalactites in the far corner was an impossible entrance. From the front, it looked to be a perfectly average rock formation; but from behind there was a small patch of dry land that moved into another long corridor.
