ShineBrown Dimmed! In the Realm of Darkness, Astraeus was going over his next plan with Chrome. ASTRAEUS: Since all your previous monsters failed to defeat the Shinerangers for good, I'm giving you one last chance to prove your worth. CHROME: What happens if I fail? Will you kill me? ASTRAEUS: Kill you? Hahaha! You're too valuable to kill! No, I will remove the rest of your humanity. That kind nature of yours is holding you back from your destructive capabilities. CHROME: If you want it so badly, I'll make you a monster that will get rid of the Shinerangers. ASTRAEUS: I didn't say your monster would fight the Shinerangers. CHROME: Huh? ASTRAEUS: I want you to create a monster that can tame another one who will destroy the Shinerangers! CHROME: I see. Well, maybe I could make one based on Bootes. HYDRUS: Hehe. Bootes. Sounds like butts. ASTRAEUS: Quiet you! Chrome then gets to work. He finishes creating a cowboy monster and infuses it with Yamium. COWBOY MONSTER: Ah

Enter: A.V. ShinePurple and A.V. ShineOrange! In the Realm of Darkness, Astraeus was figuring out his next plan. ASTRAEUS: Those Shinerangers keep being victorious over everything I send at them! This time, I plan for an all-out attack! CHROME: I assume you want me to make a monster for this. ASTRAEUS: Not this time! Your last monster was a disgrace! BLACKTAIL: You don't mind that I lead the attack, would you, Astreaus? ASTRAEUS: Fine, go ahead. It's better if you do something someplace other than here. I'm growing weary of the mess you make here! BLACKTAIL: Oh, don't get upset! I'm just having a little fun. ASTRAEUS: I will only tolerate your deviance if you exercise it against enemies. BLACKTAIL: As you wish. She teleports away. Meanwhile, in the Realm of Light, Urien and Photon were working on something. Lenny and Archie check on them. LENNY: Whatcha working on this time? URIEN: More reactors for our armor. PHOTON: Since the one made for Archie was a success, we

Battle of the Depths One day, the main Shinerangers are in the Realm of Light, bathing in the healing waters of a hot spring. ARCHIE: Ahhhhhhhh~ Nice to recover after that fight with Blacktail. Urien has a thoughtful expression. PENELOPE: What are you thinking about, Urien? URIEN: Just bathing here made me realize something. There may come a time when we have to fight underwater. PENELOPE: You don't say? URIEN: While you and Cedric don't have to worry about oxygen that much, we land-dwelling creatures do. Even with Archie's greater lung capacity, he still has limits. ARCHIE: And our suits won't save us from drowning. UREIN: I agree. Our default Shineranger armor isn't built for underwater traversal. LENNY: So, you're saying we should find a way to breathe underwater? URIEN: Yes, but I'm not exactly sure how. Shuttle Cetus' hologram appears on Urien's Shinephone. SHUTTLE CETUS: Did I hear that you need help going underwater? URIEN: I did. Do you have a solution? SHUTTLE

The Virgo Deviant In the Realm of Darkness, the lizard woman from the previous chapter is walking seductively into Astraeus’ lair. Astraeus then spots her. ASTRAEUS: Could it be?! She flashes bedroom eyes at him. LIZARD: It’s been a long time, Astraeus. HYDRUS: Don’t tell me she’s… HYDRA: Yep. ASTRAEUS: Lady Blacktail! Where have you been all this time? BLACKTAIL: Where HAVEN'T I been? ASTRAEUS: Ah, I should have known. CHROME: Another one of your servants, I presume? BLACKTAIL: Ooh~! Who's THIS tall drink of water? CHROME: Are you... flirting with me? BLACKTAIL: It’s been a while since I saw a mortal. Despite being fragile, they’re so... colorful. CHROME: Uh, thanks? BLACKTAIL: Even in grayscale! She slurps noisily. CHROME: Ugh! ASTRAEUS: Enough! Blacktail, do you have important business here or not? BLACKTAIL:

Phantom of The Realms One day, the Shinerangers were giving the Shine Wings a tour of the Realm of Light, with their Shine Beasts in the hangar. TORI: So this is the Ream of Light! It’s so bright! DIANA: I’ve heard stories of this place, but I never imagined being here! JUMBO DRACO: It’s good to be home. SEARCH LACERTA: It sure is. Clara is checking a large map she is holding. ARCHIE: Whatcha doing? CLARA: Checking the Realm Map for a Cross Realm between the Realms of Summer and Water. ARCHIE: What for? CLARA: So we can have a beach day! LENNY: Did someone say “beach day”?! CLARA: Guilty! VINCE: A beach day?! I don’t know. Is it smart for us to take the day off as Shinerangers? After all, evil doesn’t rest. CLARA: Don’t worry about it. It’s just going to be one day. LENNY: Besides, we need time to recharge. LESLIE: Yeah, that battle with Baron, er, Duke Scales really wore us down. PENELOPE: No kidding. My back’s STILL sore! VINCE: Alright, you
