"Acceptance"

Draven, standing as the new white ranger, held up his sword and ran toward Darmach. The two took swings at each other and Darmach socred the first three hits. Draven then hit a devistating blow, and Darmach fell back suprised by the strengh of the attack. The Green Wizard the reached up and grabbed a vine out of a nearby tree. Darmcah then started to swing the vine back and forth like a whip. Draven got snapped a couple of time but on the third attack he caught the whip with his Fighting Staff and chopped if in half with the Spyrit Sword.
"If you think that stung, than this is going to blow your mind, Soul Shatter!!" Draven called out.
The Spyrit Sword glowed white and then gold. Draven then raised it high over his head and slashed strait down. Darmach was sent flying back from both shock, pain and a major concussion wave. Lily and Star-Vas were both startled. Star-Vas thought fast and summoned some magic and thew it at a piece of quartz.
"Monster made of magic raise, Distroy this warrior with your many eyes!" Star-Vas chanted over and over again. The piece of quartz started to glow and rumble. Draven looked on helpless, and waiting for an opening and knowing full well that if he attacked while the monster was forming he could become part of the creature. The little crystal became an over-sized satyr.
"I am Crissatyr. What do you ask of me, my lord?" the monster asked Star-Vas. Star-Vas pointed to the white ranger and the others.
"Distroy them and the rewards will be great," the green demon yelled at the top of his lungs. He ran over and helped his master up and looked at Lily. Star-Vas nodded toward the white ranger and teleported Darmach and himself back to the Vortex Grove.
Lily looked at the newly conjered monster and took command. She called her claw back to her hand and charged Draven, with Crissatyr just behind her. Lily quickly dropped and slashed at Draven's mid-section. Crissatyr stopped and raised his left claw to his eyes and thrust his hand foward. Out of his eyes came bolts of thunder, fire and ice. Dravne was thrown back to the bushes where his powers found him.
The shock wave was strong enough to wake the unconscience rangers. They stood up and looked around a little suprised that they were still alive. Corbin was still unconscience and laying on the ground. Eden took the lead of the time being.
"We need to ... Hey!! Where did Darmach get to?? Oh well looks like he left us his calling card and girlfriend. Four forces combine to one!" Eden instructed. The rest of the team nodded in agreement.
"Element Force, Activate Force!" they all called out. The rangers were morphed and ready to do battle once more.
"Now we have to do battle with all five of them, Crissatyr you get the green and brown rangers. I shall take on the rest of them," Lily instrusted.
"Yes mistress, anything that you command," the monstrosity uttered. He then pulled out a thin fencing reaper and went into battle, charging the two rangers.
Eden and Lore weren't taking the attack lightly, both knowing full well that that reaper could be devistating if it connected. Both pulled out their weapons and waited for the attack. Lore started to crack his Wynd Whip and yelling "Toro, toro!" at the top of his lungs. Eden lughed and took it as a cue to attack hitting Crissatyr with her Urthe Hammer. She scored five solid hits and moved out before the bohemth could get ahold of her. Then Lore snapped the monster with the whip twice, bringing it to one knee.
Meanwhile Lisa and Kendar had their hands full with Lily, who was using her katana to its fullest and deadlist advantage. Kendar was using his Fyre Claw as a sheild, blocking the lighter attacks and dodging the worst of them. Lisa was trying to hit her with her Watyr Wand, but couldnt get either the points of the trident or the blade on the end into Lily. Both of the rangers were knocked back from an enegry strike from her katana. They looked at each other and knew what had to me done.
"Fyre Split!" Kendar yelled
"Watyr Wipeout!" Lisa yelled.
Both glowed with their respective colors and attacked Lily. Lisa with a
Lily didn't really know how to deflect the enegries because of the oppisite polearities of the enegries. The attack sent her flying into Crissatyr and both fell to the ground. Lily was holding her right shoulder and her claw on her right hand was broken. She looked at Crissatyr and pointed to the unconscience Corbin.
"Distroy him and the master will grant you more power then you will ever know." Lily said. She then raised her katana, purple lightning struck her and she disappeared. The remaining four rangers where waiting for Corbin to wake up to lead the team, but Eden was acting as the second in command. Each took their favorite fighting stance holding thier weapons.
"Well, well rangers, it looks like you still need help and there is none to be found. Even your white ranger can't help you. I shall return to distroy you in due time," Crissatyr stated and then glowed white and vanished. The rangers uselessly ran after the monster. The four were standing where the monster was and started to dicuss what they should do.
"I say that we get Corbin and get back to the Temple and get some type of plan togather," Eden instructed. Lore and Kendar went over picked up Corbin and then the four rangers teleported to the Temple of Enegry to regroup.
Draven on the other hand was just regaining his composer and was ready to fight once more. He got up and charged out of the bushes to an empty battlefield. He looked around and ran down the possibilities. He saw that Corbin was missing and dicided to get back to the Temple as well.

Back at the Vortex Grove, Darmach was having serious problems with the way that the battle with all five ranger and then with the new white ranger. Letting both Star-Vas and Lily have it for leaving and letting the rangers get away. He was throwing lightning bolt and balls of fire at his minions. Vartoch was trying to get in contact psychicly with Crissatyr.
"How could you let them and that white ranger get away? You were supposed to wipe them out once and for all. But what do you do, you run like scalded dogs and let them get away!!!" Darmch screamed and launched another bolt at the two. Lily jumped behind Darmach's throne for protection and Star-Vas blocked with his left hand. He grabbed his head started to tug at his hair, his temper still raising. "Have you gotten a hold of Crissatyr yet, have you Vartoch? Let us hope for the sake of Lily and your counterpart that you have." Darmach snarrled.
Vartoch nodded then raised a finger so he might have a moment of silence which drove Darmach to throw another fire ball at Lily who was still behind the throne. Lily jumped and ran for the door and just bearly made it through before it hit. he started to raise his fist to throw another one, but, Vartoch interrupted once more.
"Crissatyr is teleporting here for instructions, my liege. He will be here momentarly he was struck by lightning and lost most of his powers." Vartoch informed.
Darmach nodded and looked to Star-Vas, who grimised and disappeared. Darmach rolled his eyes. Lily peeked her head in the door so see if the coast was clear. The Green Wizard guestered for her to enter. She did and walked to his side, hoping that there wouldn't be any more punishment in store. She started to speak but was interrupted by a flash of white light.
"What do you wish of me great magi?" Crissatyr emoted as he appeared.
"Now that is an enterence that i like." Darmach applauded. He then walked over to his throne and sat down and started to ponder. "You can start where you left off, and that is to say, distroying the Power Rangers." when he said this Darmach slamed his fist into the arm rest of his throne and sparks of green came flying out.
Lily jumped slightly and stepped foward, "I ask for one more chance, Darmach, to prove my worth to you and what you have taught in the last couple weeks."
The Green Wizard nodded in aggrement and waved a hand causing Star-Vas to reappear. Star-Vas was already holding his Spyked Club knowing full well that he was going to have to fight the rangers hand to hand. Vartoch raised his Twin Blades, also volentreing his strengh to the fight a head.
"The four of you better distroy the rangers or i will come up with worse fates than death for you," Darmach stated in a very flat and dark tone of voice. " Now go my pretties and rain down my wrath upon the Earth."

[Sliver Tyger]

Back at the Temple of Enegry, the four rangers were trying to revive a still unconscience Corbin. Dimay-ru had already known what had happened. The drain of losing the powers had weakened his body, causing his to stay unconcscience long after the others. She sensed that Draven was teleporting back to the temple. She went to one of the computers and redirected him to another part of the temple where there were instructions not to reviel himself as the team's new leader.
"Why wont he wake up, Dimay-ru? What is worng with him?" Eden asked of the mystic.
"Things have changed dramaticly from where they were. I will be the one to tell you that Corbin is no longer the White Ranger." Dimay-ru said, she was about to say something else but the rangers interrupted
"What?!?!" all of the rangers exclamed at the same time. Lisa walked over and sat down in a chair. Lore and Kendar both looked at one another in shock. Eden was holding back tears.
"Well then who is the White Ranger now? And if there isn't another ranger where is the Morphing Gem? We need to get it back and give it to Corbin." Eden said kind of hystericly.
"Corbin is no longer the White Ranger by destinies hand. It his time to discover what he needs to do to help in defeating Darmach and his minions." Dimay-ru interrupted. "What you should be concintrating on is how to beat Crissatyr. The White Ranger's identity will remain a secret until the time is right. I have sent Draven to watch over the kids at the Angels Haven Center. He said to give you these," the mystic pointed to a group of what looked like skateboards but they were floating in the air. "These are your Hover Boards, you can call upon them when ever you need to and i would highly suggest that you use these in the battle to come."
The alarms on the computers started to go off signaling that there was trouble in Oak Grove. Eden, followed by Lore, Lisa and Kendar, walked over to the Viewing Globe. Dimay-ru followed shortly after. They all saw Lily, Vartoch, Star-Vas and Crissatyr attacking the downtown area. People were scattering from the sight of the three demons and Lily. Crissatyr was turning people into stones and different colored crystals. After every three he would glow and change apperence slightly and increacing in strengh.
"Well looks like its back to work for us," Lore said kind of sarcasticly. The rest of the rangers rolled their eyes and walked over and grabbed their helmets with Lore right behind them.
"Back to action! Hover Boards ... Glide Time," Eden said.
In a flash of light the ranger were on their Hover Boards and flying back to what would be the hardest fight of their lives. Dimay-ru watch as they left and sent Draven the singal that it was okay for him to enter the room. He teleported in and took off his helmet.
"Why did you send me into the Libary? I'm a ranger now too i should have been in on that conversation too." Draven stated, he wasn't mad only wondering. He was also slightly hurt too.
"They know Corbin as their leader and also know of your rivalry with Corbin. They would think that you stole the powers from him in a rage. For this battle you will want to keep your identity a secret. So they won't distrust you." Dimay-ru said.
"Better that know who to hate, than every one else. Back to action! Hover Board ... Glide Time!" Draven nearly yelled and flew off to join his friends.
Dimay-ru hung her head and thought to herself "Zordon were any of the rangers that you mentored like this? Because if they were i would like to know how to get this team back togather."

Lily and Vartoch were attacking the police force that was trying to get people to safty. Three police cars and two motercycles were vaporized. Three of the city's finest had lost their lives in the battle. The rest of the police were shoting and firing their stun guns. Star-Vas was swinging his club left and right sending anybody that would dare get in his path flying. Crissatyr was still turning people to stones and increasing his powers.
All four of them were stopped in their tracks by a barge of lazer blasts. The rangers swooped in and blocked the four demons from doing any more damage. The four rangers pulled out their weapons and were ready to fight.
"Alright, every one, this is going to be a big time fight, but we can handle it, right?" Eden said. The other rangers didn't show any type of response, getting ready for the fight. Eden and the others started to run toward the demons but a flash of stopped them in there tracks. Four lazer blasts came from the wreakage of the cop cars.
Out of the wreakage walked the white ranger, sword drawn and blaster unholstered. Draven walked over and took his lead position as the White Spyrit Ranger.
"Who are you?!?" Eden asked of the figure standing in front of her.
"It's me Draven. Don't ask me how or why. This is just what happened. I hope you will let me lead you as Corbin did." Draven said flatly.
The rest of the ranger thoutht about it for a second. Kendar was the first to answer.
"Let's just get through this one and then will talk about it later," was all Draven heard.
The rest of the team silently agreed and slowly started to walk into battle.
Lisa and Eden walked toward Lily. All three women raised their weapons.
Star-Vas was eyeing Lore. The two were going to fight Lore took out his Fighting Staff and charged.
Vartoch and Kendar were walking side by side sizing each other looking for weaknesses. Kendar readed his Fyre Claw and spun attacking first.
Draven and Crissatyr were on top of a two story building. Both were sporting their swords. They were circling one another looking for a weak spot. Crissatyr saw one and struck. He scored three lightning quick blows with his fencing reaper. Draven was knocked back, but was not out of the fight. Draven suddenly brought his sword down to his side and started to focus. Crissatyr took this as a sign of weakness and pressed his attack. Draven attacked with a speed that the monster didn't expect. Crissatyr fell back in pain from the mutiple slashes from the Spyrit Sword.
Lisa and Eden were fairing okay against Lily who was once again in her armor. The one thing that was getting on Eden's nerves was the razor edge on Lily's coat. Every time that Eden would dodge a swipe from Lily's katana the coat would come whiping around and causing damage. Lisa on the other hand hand was seriously disliking the newly aquired claw on her right hand. Lisa like to keep people at bay with her Watyr Wand, but Lily like to work close, so Lisa was having to compleatly rethink her fighting stragety.
"Ground Break!" Eden yelled and his Lily square in the stomach with the powered up blow. Lily went flying in to the next city block. Lisa and Eden both started to run and help the others.
Lore, on the other hand, wasn't doing all that well against Star-Vas. His Fighting Staff wasn't strong enough to fend off Star-Vas' Spyked Club. With one good swing Star-Vas had sent Lore flying a good twenty feet in the air. So after the thrid time, Lore kind of figured it was time for something new. He summoned his Wynd Whip and cracked it a couple of times. Star-Vas wasn't liking that at all, so he through three enegry orbs at Lore who, using the Wynd Whip, knocked them back at Star-Vas.
"Air Bust!" Lore shouted as he knocked the orbs back.
Kendar, mean while, was having some serious porblems with Vartoch. Kendar could bearly keep up with his Twin Blades. He'd just get one blocked before the other would come crashing down a couple of times. Kendar thought the best thing to do is to fight defencively for the time being, or so he was going to show Vartoch. In Kendar's left hand was his Fighting Staff, on his right was his Fyre Claw and in his right hand was his Lazer Blaser. Kendar started to block all of Vartoch's attacks and the demon started to laugh hystericly.
"Is that the best you can do little one?? You will have to better than that to beat me," Vartoch stated as he lower his sword.
"I just did," Kendar said bluntly. He then shot Vartoch five time which sent the monster rolling. Star-Vas, Lily and Crissatyr came togather to make a united stand against the rangers. But there was one flaw with that thinking, it also united the ranger too.
"It's time, let's finish this, Rolling Razor Rush!" Draven called out.
All of the ranger took out their Fighting Staffs and ran at the evil beings. The attack connected. The first to get hit with the attack was Crissatyr who fell to the grond and exploed. The other three were sent flying, but before they could hit the ground, Darmach appeared and teleported them away. The Green Wizard started to wave his hand in an erratic manner and said:
"Like tall trees in a grove
Fallen monster now grow."

[Sliver Tyger]

Crissatyr was revived and suddenly the size of a skyscraper. All five ranger knew what to do and raised their right hand.
"We need Element Zord Power, NOW!" They all yelled.
The land around them quaked and shook. The sky went dark temperarly and was back standing just behind the ranger were the Element Zords. The ranger jump up and enter the cockpits of their zords. Draven was shaking slightly being naturely leerly of heights. Thank God, im not in the Gryphon zord, he thouth to himself.
"Spyrit Dragon, ready for a rumble."
"Mermaid, online."
"Gryphon, flying high."
"Chimera, read to errupt."
"Unicorn, ready to stampede."
The Unicorn was the fist to attack, trying to hit Crissatyr with its horn. The monster just kicked her aside. Next were the Griphon and Chimera. The Chimera was easy enough for the belothmoh to slap away but the Gryphon got one hit in and tried to get away. Crissatyr was just to fast, he grabbed the tail of the zord and flung it into the attack Mermaid, both hit the ground hard. The Dragon stepped up and started to wrestle with Crissatyr but was over powered and fell to the ground like all the others.
"Well this isn't getting us any where." Draven said into the intercom, "Get ready, Pinnnical Power Blast!" The rangers did as they were said and lined up and attacked with the blast. Crissatyr caught the attack and threw it back causing the zords some minor damage.
"Now what oh, fearless leader," Lore and Lisa both said to Draven.
"Now we use the Maga Element Zord." Draven said, ignoring the comment.
"What?!?" Kendar and Eden both yelled, thinking that he had finally off his rocker.
Draven rolled his eyes, "Look in your zord's database, under Mega Command."
"Looks like it should work, I'm in," Kendar said into his intercom.
"Let's just do this and get back to the temple." Eden said rather impatiently
"Mega Element Zord activate!" all the rangers command of their zords.
The Mermaid split into two pieces the top half floating high in the air and the bottom even higher, the zords arms folded into themsleves and became what looked like shoulders. The Unicorn was the next to change shape by turining into what looked like two arms fused togather on the back end. The horn retracted into the zord. The zord then split into two arms and attached to the shoulders of the Mermaid. The next two were the Gryphon and the Chimera who changed into feet and legs for the Mermaid and they attached themselves to the bottom half of the zord.
The Dragon's head came off and closed over the Mermaid's head. The mouth opened, revieling the Mermaid's face. It's claws attacht to the Unicorn making the hands. The Dragon's chest split in half and clamped on to the torso of the Mermaid. The forarms of the Dragon became gauntlets on the Unicorn. The legs became armor on the Chimera and Gryphon.
Five colored blots of light struck the zords and all of the rangers were in the cockpit of the zord. In the center was Draven. Just to his left was LIsa. Kendar was to his right. Eden was just back and between Draven and Kendar. Lore was just back and betweet Lisa and Kendar.
"Maga Element Zord, online." all the rangers called out. Each ranger enter a code giving them access to their console, but before they could a computerized voice rang out.
"Insert Element Gems to activate Warrior Glave." the computer requested. The rangers did as the computer asked. The sky grew dark and lightning struck the ground and suddenly the sword was where the lightning had struck. The Mega Zord walked over and picked up the blade and stood ready for instructions.
"Well here goes nuthing. Take the offencive." Draven commanded.
The Mega Zord walked over and attacked the waiting Crissatyr. The Zord swung the sword and missed by a hair. Crissatyr's reaper had turned into a deadly broadsword, which hit the zord in the stomach, errupting in sparks. The rangers weren't out of the fight yet, they shruged the blow off and continued the fight. The two giants had on hellaious sword fight, both scoring minor hits on one another till Crissatyr shot his three bolts at the Zord. The Zord fell to the ground, and started to reboot.
"Well now what? Why hasn't he finished us yet?" Eden thought out loud. The rest of the team shrugged woundering themselves.
"How long untill we are back online," Draven asked.
"A couple of minuets, it doesn't give a specific E.T.A." Kendar relayed to Draven.
"Well untill then we're sitting ducks," Lisa side not even thinking.
The screens were flickering and blinking trying to come back online. The power in the zord suddenly went off and the rangers were in the dark. They all looked around thinking that there was nothing but trouble in store.
"That can't be good," Lore said having lots of grim thoughts run through his head.
"Mega Zord reactiveated," the computerized voice called out. The screens and all the power came on and the Zord jumped up off the ground ready for round two.
Crissatyr wanted to defeat the rangers in an honorable fasion but got impatient and started to walk toward the damaged Zord, but was releive when it jumped up. Out of a speakers came Draven's voice.
"You'd better run, cause we are back and better than ever."
"Come, my enemies, to your distruction," bellowed the monster as he through another round of fire, ice and lightning bolts at the Zord.
The Zord was shaken but no where near defeated. It brushed off the blow and walked strait toward Crissatyr. The Warrior Glave appeared in it's right hand and shlashed away. The fury of the attack sent him flying back. Some of the crystals on his body were cracking and he was changing color. Crissatyr was having touble getting up. Lore was the first to notice the color changes.
"Hey! Look he changing color, he might be losing power," Lore exclaimed as he pointed out the window. "Do you think we can beat him now?"
"Let's give it a shot, Final Flash." Draven said.
The Zord raised the sword in the air and it was hit by thunder and lightning. The sword started to glow, flash and sparkle. The Zord brought the weapon strait down, slicing Crissatyr in half. The two halves fell over and broke into little pieces, which floated down to ground and turned into the people that Crissatyr had captured.
The rangers started to cheer, yell and exchange high-fives. Before they could cheer for to long the computerized voice chimed in
"Returning zords to their hidden locations for repairs."
The rangers were standing on the ground and the zords were gone.
"Let's get back to the Temple to figure all this out," Draven said. All of them agreed and teleported to the Temple of Enegry.

"My lord, i am sorry that we couldn't beat the rangers. But in out defence with their new leader they are more powerful than before. I had just bearly learned the other one's fighting style." Vartoch said. He, Lily and Star-Vas were cringing waiting for the punishment that they thought they were in for. But Darmach was eeriely calm while sitting on his throne.
What scared them even more was the fact that he was giggling to himself. He was also talking to himself which the three underlings had gotten used to and didnt really worry them either. Darmach was babbling something about his own rangers and another ally, one even older than him.
"What? Were you speaking to me Vartoch? That battle? Oh never mind I knew you and that sheep wanna be couldn'd beat the rangers. That is why I stayed behind and contacted a friend of a friend. She is going to a place called Mirinoi and getting me something special. I hope they are nice and shiny," Darmach ranted.
The three looked at one another worndering what her was talking about, Lily was about to ask what but was inerrupted by a flast of light and a cracking noise. A figure was standing in a door way holding a box and what looked like a boomerang. When the smoked cleared Lily could see that it was another female and got instantly jealous. She thought she was to be the only girl here.
"Speak of the devil. Or should i say speak of the scorpion. Come in my lady and do you have a preasent for the host?" Darmach rattled out in a southern actcent, which made all four of them stare.
The figure handed a box to the Green Wizard. He opened it like a kid on christmas. He was shreaking in delight and wonder and through open the lid. Inside were five different colored boxes with wires hanging out of them. Darmach started to cackle and rave in delight.
"This will be the end of the rangers for sure," Darmach said with sadistic glee.

Back at the Temple of Enegry the ranger were debating about what to do. but one thing had happened that none of them including Dimay-ru expected, Corbin had disappeared.
"So now what do we do? Corbin is gone and we don't even know he is to give him his powers back." Eden pointed out
Draven fealt a slight pain in his heart, "So you don't want me as a ranger, do you Eden?" Draven saying this only made her enraged. She hated to be put on the spot. But Draven had a way of saying what he thought which had gotten him in touble more than once before.
"In all reality, no i don't want you as a ranger. I trusted Corbin, and i don't know you enough to trust you, Draven. For all we know you took the powers from Corbin, and now we could add kidnapping to that list as far as im concserned." Eden yelled back and stromed off.

[Sliver Tyger]

"Draven couldn't have stolen the powers. They rest inside of the ranger that weilds them, the gems did carry the powers untill you took control of them. The only way that Draven could have stolen the powers is by accumulate a large source of power, larger than anything here at the temple, and much more advacned than than even what my mentor Zordon could come up with. Even he had to search out another power source like the Sword of Light to change powers from person to person. This was the way it was meant to be, but Draven was injured by Darmach and the powers went to Corbin. Corbin has the potintal to be a great ranger if not the greatest but lacks that something that defines each ranger and allows them access the power and zords." Dimay-ru told the rangers, even Eden heard her and didn't like what was said. "This is how it was supposed to be no one change that and i fear that in the trial to come you will fail and world will become Darmach's. Draven is your leader now and forever and you all need to accept that. Only a united team can defeat the forces of darkness that is the way it has always been and that is how it always will be."
