Dark Horizons
Part 1
The ocean had never been flowing so intensely. Clu's hand skimmed across the water as he whipped his blue surfboard over the waves.
"Wow, Clu is actually pretty decent." Suki said as she layed on the
beach, wearing a skimpy red bikini top with a red thong. "I guess he does have some coordination."
"Watch how you talk about my boyfriend." Letty warned as she stuck her surfboard in the sand and fixed her yellow bikini and black bikini bottoms. "You don't see me talking about Adam." She said as she looked at Carolin, sitting in a pink tanktop and very short jean shorts. "Hey, do you know what's wrong with her?"
"It's probably Coralis." Suki said as she sat up. "I wouldn't want
to enjoy a beach much if my sister had taken off without warning."
"Yeah, I guess not." Letty said as Clu came to shore. The Yellow
Ranger smiled and kissed her boyfriend. "You're were pretty fierce
out there."
"Yeah, I know." Clu said, but he seemed distraught.
"What, are you upset about Coralis too?" Letty asked. The Blue
Ranger shook his head and looked back at the beach. "Then why are you so glum?"
"Those waves...there's no major storm brewing off the coast, no
earthquakes, no nothing. I checked." Clu said. "I've just got this
eerie feeling that something is gonna happen." He said as he ran his hand through his blond hair. "It's just...a vibe. I'm sure that's
what has Carolin out of whack...well, besides finding out she's a
Dragon Blood and her sister abandoning her. It's a lot to process."
"Yeah, I guess so." Letty said. Adam walked up to them in a pair of black swim trunks and a black tanktop. "You have the same
feeling?"
"Call it Ranger's intuiton." Adam said.
"It's probably nothing." Jen said as she walked up in her purple one piece bathing suit.
"Excuse me, I don't mean to bitch, but everyone is blocking my
sunlight." Suki said. The Rangers gave her a look.
"Hey hun." Tommy puts his arms around Carolin. "You okay?"
"I'm just trying to process all this information." Carolin said with
a sigh. "And I can't shake this feeling there's something or someone powerful nearby."
"Uh, guys...what the hell is that?" Clu asked. The Rangers all
looked up as a hole opened up in the sky, like an upside down
tornado. "I think that's what our feeling was all about." Clu said.
A fiery object flew from the portal straight towards
downtown. "Shit, we can't ever have a moments rest." Suki growled as she stood up. "I wonder what Maria is up to now."
"Why would Maria open a hole in the sky?" Jen asked.
"Yeah...something doesn't feel right." Tommy said.
"You guys get downtown, I'll get to the ship and check things out." Jen said.
*********
Jamal could barely gain his bearings. His whole body ached. He
slowly stood up. "So...this is Brookstone." He said weakly.
**********
"Wow." Clu said as the huge meteorite started to glow in the center of the park. "Should we touch it?"
"No." Adam said. "Unless you want to get fried."
"Dude, I can handle myself." Clu slowly started to walk towards it.
Adam sighed and walked with him. They both reached out to touch it. The meteorite glowed in reaction, fire shooting from it. The Black and Blue Rangers flew backwards.
"ADAM!" Suki yelled as the two hit the ground with a thud. The
Rangers ran over to them.
"Dude...that was unnessascarily painful." Clu said as he slowly
stood. The meteorite slowly started to dissolve, revealing a dark
figure. Her eyes glowed a bright red, her teeth bore two fangs. Two horns sprouted from her head, her black gown blowing in the
wind. "Whoa...she's hot."
"Shut up, Clu." Suki said as the Rangers slowly backed away.
The figure smiled deviously. "Ah...finally, I'm here." She said.
"Well, I guess you are." Letty said as she stood straight. "Mind
telling us who the fuck you are?"
"It's incredible how teenagers don't lose their attitudes between
dimensions." She said.
"Dude, who are you calling teenagers?" Clu asked.
"I'm looking for the one they call Maria." She said, ignoring Clu.
"Why?" Tommy asked.
"It's none of your business." She spat.
"Who are you?" Letty asked again.
"My name is Demonica." She said. "Now where is Maria?"
"It doesn't matter, because you won't be around long enough to meet her." Tommy said.
"And whose gonna stop me?" Demonica asked.
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" Tommy called. The Rangers flicked their wrists, their Aura Morphers appearing. "AURA CHANGE!"
Demonica's eyes started to glow an even deeper red as her anger
rose. "NO!" She yelled. "NO MATTER WHERE I GO, I CAN'T GET RID OF YOU NOVA WARRIORS!"
"Power Rangers would be more accurate." AuraGold said. "And now it's time to send you back where you came from!" The Rangers charged.
Demonica shot a huge back orb at AuraPink, sending her rocketing
into a tree, cracking it and toppling it over. AuraYellow threw a
punch, but Demonica caught it and threw her to the ground, breaking her arm in the process. She sent a bolt of lightning into AuraGold, causing him to start flipping until he skidded across the ground.
"AURA CHANGE! AURA FORM 2!" AuraBlack and AuraRed started their morphing sequences into AuraFlame and AuraEarth, but Demonica sent another black orb into them both, stopping them mid-morph and sending them crashing to the ground.
"AURA SPARKS!" AuraBlue fired shots, but they all bounced off
Demonica. "Aw, come on, somethings got to hurt you." He said.
"Not much can!" Demonica hurled a lighting bolt at him, causing him to fall to the ground in agony.
"Hey, Demonica!" Suki yelled. She looked over her shoulder. "We're not going to let you win that easy."
"Oh spare me the corny catchphrases." Demonica spat.
***********
"Who the hell is that?" Maria growled.
"I don't know, but she's kind of hot!" Elgar said.
"Send down some Kelsaks, you numbskull." Maria said. "No one
trespasses on my turf."
**********
A group of Kelsaks landed in front of Demonica. "Hell's bounds what is it now?"
"Oh...great...just what we don't need." AuraBlue said as he squirmed in pain. He looked across at Suki, who looked to be in worse shape than he was. "I...have to get...to Suki." He said as he struggled to stand.
"And who are you, Missy?" Elgar asked.
"I'm tired of people asking me this question." Demonica spat.
"Well sorry, but when you step onto my queen's turf, you answer to her and only her!" Elgar growled.
"Such a mouthy little demon." Demonica growled.
"Demon? Oh no, I'm not one of those ancient turds, I'm full alien,
baby!" Elgar laughed.
Suki stood on her feet, her costume in tatters. "De...Demonica..."
She said weakly. The witch turned to the Red Ranger. "You...won't
win...you bitch." She said as blood from a cut above her eye
trickled down her cheek. She dropped into her stance.
"I'm already growing tired of this dimension." She growled. Her body started to glow with black electricity. "I'm going to kill you, and be done with it."
"Try me." Suki said as she took her Aura Blade from it's sheath on
her back.
"Goodbye, Red Ranger." Demonica pointed at her. A huge swirling orb of electricity streaked towards her. Suki's eyes widened as she realized she couldn't block the shot.
"NO!" Suki yelled...
**********
Jamal could see something off in the distance, but his view was
obscured by a building. "Man...what a trip." He said to himself as
he rubbed his neck. "Going through the dimensions took a lot out of me. It feels like I've been spinning through that vortex for hours." He said as he held his communicator to his mouth. "Aleia, come in." Jamal said, but all he could hear was static. "Lamont? Alisha? Terrence?" He said, but nothing. "Well...it looks like I'm alone." He said with a sigh. "And I'm guessing that's where all the trouble is." He said as he looked up at the sky, which was quickly turning gray.
**********
"NO!" Suki yelled as AuraBlue took the brunt of the shot.
"AHHHHH!" Clu screamed in pure agony. His costume instantly
dissolved. It felt like millions of volts of electricity were
coursing through every vein and every blood vessel in his body. He collasped on his stomach to the ground, unable to move and barely able to breathe.
"Clu!" Suki yelled as she rolled him to his back. He was completely
knocked out cold.
"Now that I'm done with that." Demonica said with a smile. "You'll
take me to Maria." She pointed at Elgar.
"And why would I do that?" Elgar asked.
"Do you want to end up like him?" Demonica asked.
"Like I said, come on, we should get going now!" Elgar said
cheerfully and put his hand on Demonica's shoulder. They both
disappeared, along with the Kelsaks.
"Clu, Clu, talk to me!" Suki said, shaking him. "Clu, don't do this
to me!" She yelled. She looked up at her other friends, who were all equally as hurt. "No...Clu, please wake up." She said. "Please!" Clu didn't respond. A lone tear slid down Suki's cheek. "Dammit...Jen!" Suki shouted into her communicator. "You have to get us all back to the ship! Now!"
*********
Demonica arrived on the bridge of the Dark Fortress. "Kindly remove your hand from my shoulder." Demonica growled.
"Oh, sorry." Elgar said with a light laugh.
"I'm actually impressed." A voice said. Demonica turned around to
see Maria sitting on her throne, eating grapes. She was wearing a
tiny corset with red velvet bikini bottoms and long black boots. "Of
course, I could've done that. But I like challenging my foes before
I kill them."
"You're the one that is supposed to help me." Demonica said, rolling her eyes. "I could've stayed in my dimension for such worthless help." Demonica said.
"Yes. Well, I noticed something about you." Maria said. "I was
planning an attack on Earth when you landed, and you weren't in this form." She said as she stood up. "You looked different."
"Ah. My human form." Demonica said. "Yes. Before I appeared, I was sure to transform so I wouldn't be open to any sort of attack."
"So do I get to see this form?" Maria asked as she circled
Demonica. "Not that this form isn't very appealing." Maria said with a smile.
"You're far too close to me. Back off." Demonica spat.
"Strictly dickly, huh?" Maria said with a smile. "You shouldn't be."
"I didn't come here to be molested, I came here for help." Demonica growled.
"What kind of help?" Maria asked as she sat back on her throne. A
Kelsak poured her a glass of Dragon's Blood.
"In my dimension, I am the surpreme evil force." Demonica
began. "But I've been eternally damned by a group of accursed good doers..."
"I know the feeling." Maria interrupted as she took a sip from the
wine glass. "But spare me the history lesson. I'm very ruthless when I make my deals. So before anything, what's in it for me?
"You and I have common goals." Demonica said. "We both seek to rule our respective dimensions. But whenever I get close, there's a force of good that stops me. The Nova Warriors..."
"I take it these Nova Warriors are the equivelent of my bothersome Power Rangers." Maria said as she crossed her legs.
"Yes. I came to this dimension seeking help, thinking you had no
foes. I should've known better." Demonica growled. "What I suggest is a truce. I easily defeated your Rangers. I take it you can just as easily defeat my Novas. Together, we will be the supreme rulers of our universes." Demonica's eyes gleefully started to glow.
"Hmm...sounds interesting enough." Maria said with a shrug. "But I'm not the type of woman who likes to share. Unless it's a little
saliva, but you've already told me your not interested." She smiled.
"Someone so immature should not be allowed to conquer a dimension." Demonica said. "But we will put or differences aside for this one common goal."
"Okay, sweetheart." Maria said as she stood up and extended a
hand. "You have a deal." Demonica smiled and returned the handshake. Maria pulled her in. "But if you screw me, bitch, I will not hesitate to kill you."
"Like you could." Demonica smiled evily.
******
Suki winced as the cold alchohol touched her cuts. "What about Clu? Is he okay? I mean, will he be okay?" She asked.
"He's uh...he's sort of weak right now. But he'll pull through." Jen
said as she started to wrap Suki's arm. "What about you?"
"I'm fine. I'm just worried about Clu." Suki sniffled. "I don't know
why, I mean it's not like we're best friends or anything."
"He took a pretty big shot." Jen said. "I'm gonna have to work on
his morpher a little, but it and he will be fine."
"Yeah...I'm not frog boy..." Clu said weakly as he stumbled into the room.
"Clu, you should be in bed." Jen said.
"I'm fine." He said, though the various bruises proved otherwise.
"Are you sure?" Suki said as she stood up. Jen walked quietely out of the room.
"Yeah. I'm in pain, I feel like a train hit me, but I'm fine." Clu
said with a weak smile.
"Why the hell did you take that shot for me?" Suki asked.
"Suki, I may act like an asshole, but your still my friend." Clu
said. "Sure, your annoying and obnixious sometimes, but a friend
none the less."
"Clu, be serious." Suki said with a smile.
"I am." Clu said as he sat down. "Ugh...it was one helluva a shot I
took, though."
"I know." Suki sat next to him. "I could've taken it."
"Yeah, and you could've been fried." Clu said. Suki smiled, and then there was an awkward silence. "Suki..." Clu started, but Suki kissed him. "Whoa, Suki!" Clu pulled away-of course, it was a while before he did, but never the less, he pulled away. "Suki..."
"That didn't just happen." Suki said as she stood up. "I...I have to
get back to Earth. I'll talk to you later." Suki left before Clu had
a chance to object.
*******
"I wonder how Jamal is doing." Alisha said, a worried tone in her
voice. They all sat around the Crystal Chamber, wondering the fate of their comrade.
"Wherever he is, I'm sure he's okay." Lamont tried to sound
comforting, but his voice showed otherwise.
"Maybe he got zapped or something, and he's laying in the middle of the gateway, lost forever." Terrance said.
"TEE!" The group yelled.
"What?" Terrance asked. "Hey, at least I'm not in denile. He could
very well be..."
"Don't." Nichole said. "He's not dead."
"I don't believe this." Aleia said, a smile spreading across her
face. "Lamont, look at these power readings."
Lamont stood up and looked at the readings on the monitors. "Yeah, what about them?"
"Well, there's a couple strong powers in the other dimension, but
there's another, more faint power reading. Now, given the distance from the Crystal Chamber, and the interference from the gateway, it's safe to say..."
"That power reading...it belongs to Jamal!" Lamont said.
"Exactly!" Aleia said. The group all stood up. "The signal is very
faint, but it's there. At least we know he's still alive."
"But look at this reading." Lamont pointed to the screen. "It's
almost equal with that of Jamal when he's completely powered up...I need to do some research." He said as he prepared to teleport out of the Crystal Chamber.
"Hey, this isn't any time to worry about school, we gotta find
Jamal." Terrance said.
"Tee...just stop." Brianna said.
"What?"
*******
Jamal felt a little woozy as he walked through Brookstone
City. "Well, I'm here...so what am I looking for?" Jamal said.
"Mommy, look, Power Rangers!" He heard a little girl say. Jamal
walked over to a store front window and his eyes widened.
"Earlier today, the city was rocked by the appearance of yet another of Maria's henchmen." The reporter said. The camera panned around to Demonica.
"Oh...no..." Jamal said. "She's here..."
"This alien seemed more powerful than any the Rangers have
previously faced, and it seems that the Power Rangers were defeated at her hands."
"She crossed the dimensions." Jamal said as he started to walk
again. "That's why she needed that crystal, so she could come here. But why?" As he thought harder, he became dizzier. "That travel between dimensions...it's got me disoriented." Jamal said as he sucked in a deep breath and tried to walk it off.
********
"Ugh...I feel like a semi-truck hit me." Letty said as she stretched.
"Yeah...who was that chick." Adam said as Jen bandaged him up. "That wasn't just one of Maria's hired henchmen."
"She said something about being from another dimension." Carolin said. "Maybe that's the key to all of this."
"It's not much of a clue, but it's the only one we have." Tommy
sighed as he cracked his neck. "But I'd hate to see what happens if those two do team-up."
"Yeah...Demonica is still hot though." Clu said, trying to lighten
the mood.
"Hey, where's Suki?" Adam asked.
"Uh...she went back down to Earth. She wanted to get cleaned up." Clu said, making perhaps the best lie he had ever.
"Hey, Clu." Adam took Clu aside. "Look man, thanks for saving Suki."
"Aw, dude, it was nothing..." Clu said, looking to quickly avoid the
subject.
"No, man, I really appreciate it, I know you and Suki don't see eye-to-eye a lot of the time. It means a lot to me, bro." Adam said as he walked away.
"Well rub it in why don't you..." Clu sighed heavily.
<I find in these cases, it's best to tell the truth.> DECA said.
"DECA, if you say a word, I'll reprogram you into vending machine." Clu growled.
****
Suki roared through the streets in her Toyota Supra. "What the hell compelled me to kiss Clu." She thought to herself "I mean, I don't even like him. I mean, sometimes he's kinda funny, in the right light he's pretty attractive, and the way he wrinkles his forehead when he's concentrating is so cute..."
"Oh my...I like Clu!" Suki yelled outloud. She slammed on the brakes of her Toyota Supra as she saw someone cross into the crosswalk out of nowhere. She fully intened to chew the guy out for almost making her crash, until she saw him collapse in the street. She quickly got out of her car and rushed to him, causing traffic to beep at her. "What's your problem, what are you doing in the middle of the street?"
"I don't know...I need help." The African-American managed to say.
"Okay, let's get you somewhere safe." Suki said as she helped him into the backseat of her car.
********
Jamal slowly opened his eyes, a huge pain shooting up and down his side. Staring back at him was a red haired Asian woman, her hair pulled back in a ponytail with two diamond studs in her ears. And to top it off, she was only wearing a black bra. "Wow...heaven IS the best place anywhere."
"You're not in heaven, sweetheart." The woman said as he sat up. She pulled a red fishnet shirt over her head. Jamal could now see she was wearing a very short black skirt with Manolo Blahniks. "You're in Brookstone."
"Ugh...oh yeah..." Jamal said groggily
"Yeah." She said as she sat down next to him. "You stepped in front of my car, I almost hit you."
"Oh. So your the girl that almost killed me." Jamal said with a
smile.
"Yeah. You scared the hell outta me, stumbling into that crosswalk." She said as she exteneded a hand. "Suki Aoki."
"Jamal Ellis." They both shook hands.
"So, Jamal Ellis, where are you from?" Suki asked.
Jamal paused, thinking the question over carefully. "It's a town
called Emerald Cove." He said.
"I've never heard of Emerald Cove." Suki said, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, well...it's a real small town." Jamal said.
"So why were you staggering around." Suki asked.
"Well, I haven't eaten much today." Jamal said. "It's been a long
day."
"What, did you get plastered?" Suki asked.
"Yeah, kind of." Jamal said. <If you count being plastered to the
side of a swirling vortex of doom.>
"Well, you can chill here for the day." Suki said as she
stood. "I'll go get you a shirt? You have a color preference?"
"Red." Jamal said instictively.
"Really...I was kidding." Suki said with a shrug.
*****
"Hey guys." Clu said as he appeared on the bridge of the Silver
Space Titanus. He had a bandage wrapped around his forehead. He wasn't wearing a shirt- with all the bandages around his ribs he couldn't lift his arms to put one on.
"Damn, you look really bad." Carolin said. She didn't look great
herself, with her ankle bandaged and propped up on a console.
"Man, who is this bitch Demonica?" Letty asked.
"I feared this day would come." Maureen said as she walked onto the bridge.
"What are you talking about?" Tommy asked. "What's going on, do you know who Demonica is?"
"I know of her." Maureen said as she sat down. "In the back of my mind, I knew that someone would get their hands on the Dykorian Crystal."
"The Dy-karoke wha?" Clu asked.
"The Dykorian Crystal." Maureen said and sighed deeply. "Eons ago, Zordon of Eltare came to Earth looking for me. He took me to
Lightron and we learned of a grave danger. The approach of Dark
Spectre and the United Alliance of Evil shook the forces of good. It
was agreed that we would split the universe into two dimensions-the Negasis dimension, our dimension, and the Chronasis dimension, an alternate dimension almost identical to our own. It was thought in this way, we would split the UAE appart. But that didn't happen. Instead, new forms of evil began to appear in the Chronasis, demons."
"And we got the aliens." Suki said.
"Exactly. The Elders and I each created a set of ultimate powers,
stronger than anything in their respective universes. It was
expected in this way, that we could keep the dimensions hidden from each other."
"Then Maria smashed the Orb of Time." Letty said, realizing what was going to happen. "There's another Orb, Mom. The Orb of Continium."
"Yes, there is." Maureen sighed. "If Demonica or Maria get their
hands on the Orb of Continium and destroy it along with the Dykorian Crystal, the two dimensions will merge...and there will be no way to stop either of them."
"Wait...you said there's another set of powers." Clu said. "A set
equal to the power of ours. Maybe there's a way..."
"Without the Dykorian Crystal, it would be impossible for the Nova
Warriors to get here." Maureen said.
"Nova Warriors? That's what Demonica called us." Adam
said. "Demonica must've had problems conquering the Chronasis
dimension...that's why she needed Maria's help. She came here to get some back-up..."
"To find the other Orb, no doubt." Tommy growled. "Aw man, this day just went from bad to worse."
"So what do we do? Sit here and let them destroy us?" Carolin asked.
"No. But we have to be smart about this plan." Tommy said. "DECA, can you find Suki?"
<Suki's communicator is temporarily offline.> DECA reported. <Trying emergency frequency.>
"We have to hurry...who knows what's happening now." Letty said.
******
"There's still no sign of the Novas. All signs point to them being
dead." Gon' Mai reported.
"Excellent. Soon we will be rid of those pesky AuraRangers as
well.." Demonica said as she removed her mask. She slowly reverted back to her human form. Her dark hair flowed and her dark skin lightened to a lighter tan. Her muscular build slightly disappeared to show a more shapely young woman. Maria tried to look around Charisse into her cauldron. "Do you mind!" Charisse spat.
"Okay, okay, geesh, sorry." Maria said as she hunched over the side of the cauldron. "Whose the ugly looking hairball?" She asked.
"If I were you, I'd bite my tongue." Charisse growled. "Anyway, Gon' Mai, I want you to make sure that no one tries anything.
"And you call me an amatuer." Maria said with a cocky smile.
"What do you mean?" Charisse raised and eyebrow.
"I'm just saying, you defeated those Novas relatively easily. I
wouldn't be surprised if they were still alive, or if they were
here, even." Maria said. "How about you let me go to your dimension and find out."
"I'd rather you not have the Dykorian Crystal in your possesion."
Charisse said as she held the orb tightly in her fist. "You're
actions have not proven you are exactly trustworthy."
"Honey, the only way I'll get what I want is if you hand it to me."
Maria said. "Does this thing get free porn?"
"I'm guessing immaturity is a virtue here." Charisse said, rolling
her eyes. She looked into her cauldron and something caught her
eye. "Oh...who is he?" She said, spreading the first smile Maria had seen across her face.
"Huh?" Maria looked into the cauldron. "Oh...that's Adam." She said, remembering the night they spent together. "Get that look off your face. He's off the market."
"So what has that got to do with me, huh?" Charisse smiled
devilishly.
"If you know what's good for you, you won't test me." Maria growled.
"Wow. Someone is actually serious for once." Charisse
chuckled. "Fine, I won't mess with 'your man', Maria. But I suggest
you get a little more serious."
"My queen, I found the Red Ranger!" Elgar said.
"On screen." Maria said.
The view screen showed Suki walking down the street with someone dressed in a red tanktop, red and white shorts with dirty water shoes. Charisse's eyes started to glow in anger. "NO!" She yelled.
"I take it that is one of your Novas." Maria said. "And when there's one."
"Quiet!" Charisse spat. "I have to think of a way to get rid of him
for good! I need a demon!"
"Well excuse me if we have a slight lack of them." Maria said,
rolling her eyes. "And you wouldn't want the Novas to realize that
Charisse and Demonica are both missing. I'm sure it won't take them long to put two and two together."
"Dammit." Charisse said. "There's got to be a way to be rid of them!"
"There is." Maria said. "You go after the lone Nova here and my
Rangers, and I go after your Novas on the otherside, and we won't leave one of them standing. All you have to do is hand me the Dykorian Crystal and we can end the Novas and Auras once and for all." Maria smiled evily.
"And how do you plan on beating the Novas in that?" Charisse
asked. "Do you actually think you'll win?"
"Of course not." Maria said, looking at her red halter top and black
leather skirt. She snapped her fingers and her battle armor formed- black boots with black leather pants, a black armored halter-top and a black overcoat.. "I always go into battle in style."
"I take it your a size 5, tall and slim?" Charisse asked.
"Size 4. Always go a size smaller, it makes me look bustier." Maria
said as her jewel tipped staff appeared in her hands. She extended a palm. "The Crystal."
"Don't screw me." Charisse growled as she handed Maria the crystal.
"I won't." Maria growled as she turned her back to Demonica. "Elgar, come with me. I'll send that disgusting flea bag of a general Gon' Mai back to assit you." Maria said. "Don't wait up." She said as she winked. The two of them teleported off the bridge of the ship. Charisse smiled evily. "Oh, but I just may screw you, Maria. I'm going to make sure that both the universes are mine."
*****
Maria arrived in Demonica's chambers. "Hmm...not bad. A little dark, but not bad." She said.
"Who are you?" Gon' Mai asked, grabbing his sword.
"Aw, calm down." Elgar said. "Your mistress is waiting for you on
the otherside. I suggest you get going before the portal closes.
"If I were you, I'd watch myself." Gon'Mai growled as past through
the portal.
"I'd love to see the cat that coughed him up." Elgar laughed.
"Elgar, get ready. We're heading to Earth." Maria said. "I hope you have some Dragon's Blood so we can get some Kelsaks."
"Of course." Elgar said.
"Excellent." Maria smiled. "Because we aren't just going to destroy the Novas. We're gonna destroy the Orb of Continium, and I will rule both dimensions."
End of Dark Horizons Part 1
Dark Horizons
Part 1
The ocean had never been flowing so intensely. Clu's hand skimmed across the water as he whipped his blue surfboard over the waves.
"Wow, Clu is actually pretty decent." Suki said as she layed on the
beach, wearing a skimpy red bikini top with a red thong. "I guess he does have some coordination."
"Watch how you talk about my boyfriend." Letty warned as she stuck her surfboard in the sand and fixed her yellow bikini and black bikini bottoms. "You don't see me talking about Adam." She said as she looked at Carolin, sitting in a pink tanktop and very short jean shorts. "Hey, do you know what's wrong with her?"
"It's probably Coralis." Suki said as she sat up. "I wouldn't want
to enjoy a beach much if my sister had taken off without warning."
"Yeah, I guess not." Letty said as Clu came to shore. The Yellow
Ranger smiled and kissed her boyfriend. "You're were pretty fierce
out there."
"Yeah, I know." Clu said, but he seemed distraught.
"What, are you upset about Coralis too?" Letty asked. The Blue
Ranger shook his head and looked back at the beach. "Then why are you so glum?"
"Those waves...there's no major storm brewing off the coast, no
earthquakes, no nothing. I checked." Clu said. "I've just got this
eerie feeling that something is gonna happen." He said as he ran his hand through his blond hair. "It's just...a vibe. I'm sure that's
what has Carolin out of whack...well, besides finding out she's a
Dragon Blood and her sister abandoning her. It's a lot to process."
"Yeah, I guess so." Letty said. Adam walked up to them in a pair of black swim trunks and a black tanktop. "You have the same
feeling?"
"Call it Ranger's intuiton." Adam said.
"It's probably nothing." Jen said as she walked up in her purple one piece bathing suit.
"Excuse me, I don't mean to bitch, but everyone is blocking my
sunlight." Suki said. The Rangers gave her a look.
"Hey hun." Tommy puts his arms around Carolin. "You okay?"
"I'm just trying to process all this information." Carolin said with
a sigh. "And I can't shake this feeling there's something or someone powerful nearby."
"Uh, guys...what the hell is that?" Clu asked. The Rangers all
looked up as a hole opened up in the sky, like an upside down
tornado. "I think that's what our feeling was all about." Clu said.
A fiery object flew from the portal straight towards
downtown. "Shit, we can't ever have a moments rest." Suki growled as she stood up. "I wonder what Maria is up to now."
"Why would Maria open a hole in the sky?" Jen asked.
"Yeah...something doesn't feel right." Tommy said.
"You guys get downtown, I'll get to the ship and check things out." Jen said.
*********
Jamal could barely gain his bearings. His whole body ached. He
slowly stood up. "So...this is Brookstone." He said weakly.
**********
"Wow." Clu said as the huge meteorite started to glow in the center of the park. "Should we touch it?"
"No." Adam said. "Unless you want to get fried."
"Dude, I can handle myself." Clu slowly started to walk towards it.
Adam sighed and walked with him. They both reached out to touch it. The meteorite glowed in reaction, fire shooting from it. The Black and Blue Rangers flew backwards.
"ADAM!" Suki yelled as the two hit the ground with a thud. The
Rangers ran over to them.
"Dude...that was unnessascarily painful." Clu said as he slowly
stood. The meteorite slowly started to dissolve, revealing a dark
figure. Her eyes glowed a bright red, her teeth bore two fangs. Two horns sprouted from her head, her black gown blowing in the
wind. "Whoa...she's hot."
"Shut up, Clu." Suki said as the Rangers slowly backed away.
The figure smiled deviously. "Ah...finally, I'm here." She said.
"Well, I guess you are." Letty said as she stood straight. "Mind
telling us who the fuck you are?"
"It's incredible how teenagers don't lose their attitudes between
dimensions." She said.
"Dude, who are you calling teenagers?" Clu asked.
"I'm looking for the one they call Maria." She said, ignoring Clu.
"Why?" Tommy asked.
"It's none of your business." She spat.
"Who are you?" Letty asked again.
"My name is Demonica." She said. "Now where is Maria?"
"It doesn't matter, because you won't be around long enough to meet her." Tommy said.
"And whose gonna stop me?" Demonica asked.
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" Tommy called. The Rangers flicked their wrists, their Aura Morphers appearing. "AURA CHANGE!"
Demonica's eyes started to glow an even deeper red as her anger
rose. "NO!" She yelled. "NO MATTER WHERE I GO, I CAN'T GET RID OF YOU NOVA WARRIORS!"
"Power Rangers would be more accurate." AuraGold said. "And now it's time to send you back where you came from!" The Rangers charged.
Demonica shot a huge back orb at AuraPink, sending her rocketing
into a tree, cracking it and toppling it over. AuraYellow threw a
punch, but Demonica caught it and threw her to the ground, breaking her arm in the process. She sent a bolt of lightning into AuraGold, causing him to start flipping until he skidded across the ground.
"AURA CHANGE! AURA FORM 2!" AuraBlack and AuraRed started their morphing sequences into AuraFlame and AuraEarth, but Demonica sent another black orb into them both, stopping them mid-morph and sending them crashing to the ground.
"AURA SPARKS!" AuraBlue fired shots, but they all bounced off
Demonica. "Aw, come on, somethings got to hurt you." He said.
"Not much can!" Demonica hurled a lighting bolt at him, causing him to fall to the ground in agony.
"Hey, Demonica!" Suki yelled. She looked over her shoulder. "We're not going to let you win that easy."
"Oh spare me the corny catchphrases." Demonica spat.
***********
"Who the hell is that?" Maria growled.
"I don't know, but she's kind of hot!" Elgar said.
"Send down some Kelsaks, you numbskull." Maria said. "No one
trespasses on my turf."
**********
A group of Kelsaks landed in front of Demonica. "Hell's bounds what is it now?"
"Oh...great...just what we don't need." AuraBlue said as he squirmed in pain. He looked across at Suki, who looked to be in worse shape than he was. "I...have to get...to Suki." He said as he struggled to stand.
"And who are you, Missy?" Elgar asked.
"I'm tired of people asking me this question." Demonica spat.
"Well sorry, but when you step onto my queen's turf, you answer to her and only her!" Elgar growled.
"Such a mouthy little demon." Demonica growled.
"Demon? Oh no, I'm not one of those ancient turds, I'm full alien,
baby!" Elgar laughed.
Suki stood on her feet, her costume in tatters. "De...Demonica..."
She said weakly. The witch turned to the Red Ranger. "You...won't
win...you bitch." She said as blood from a cut above her eye
trickled down her cheek. She dropped into her stance.
"I'm already growing tired of this dimension." She growled. Her body started to glow with black electricity. "I'm going to kill you, and be done with it."
"Try me." Suki said as she took her Aura Blade from it's sheath on
her back.
"Goodbye, Red Ranger." Demonica pointed at her. A huge swirling orb of electricity streaked towards her. Suki's eyes widened as she realized she couldn't block the shot.
"NO!" Suki yelled...
**********
Jamal could see something off in the distance, but his view was
obscured by a building. "Man...what a trip." He said to himself as
he rubbed his neck. "Going through the dimensions took a lot out of me. It feels like I've been spinning through that vortex for hours." He said as he held his communicator to his mouth. "Aleia, come in." Jamal said, but all he could hear was static. "Lamont? Alisha? Terrence?" He said, but nothing. "Well...it looks like I'm alone." He said with a sigh. "And I'm guessing that's where all the trouble is." He said as he looked up at the sky, which was quickly turning gray.
**********
"NO!" Suki yelled as AuraBlue took the brunt of the shot.
"AHHHHH!" Clu screamed in pure agony. His costume instantly
dissolved. It felt like millions of volts of electricity were
coursing through every vein and every blood vessel in his body. He collasped on his stomach to the ground, unable to move and barely able to breathe.
"Clu!" Suki yelled as she rolled him to his back. He was completely
knocked out cold.
"Now that I'm done with that." Demonica said with a smile. "You'll
take me to Maria." She pointed at Elgar.
"And why would I do that?" Elgar asked.
"Do you want to end up like him?" Demonica asked.
"Like I said, come on, we should get going now!" Elgar said
cheerfully and put his hand on Demonica's shoulder. They both
disappeared, along with the Kelsaks.
"Clu, Clu, talk to me!" Suki said, shaking him. "Clu, don't do this
to me!" She yelled. She looked up at her other friends, who were all equally as hurt. "No...Clu, please wake up." She said. "Please!" Clu didn't respond. A lone tear slid down Suki's cheek. "Dammit...Jen!" Suki shouted into her communicator. "You have to get us all back to the ship! Now!"
*********
Demonica arrived on the bridge of the Dark Fortress. "Kindly remove your hand from my shoulder." Demonica growled.
"Oh, sorry." Elgar said with a light laugh.
"I'm actually impressed." A voice said. Demonica turned around to
see Maria sitting on her throne, eating grapes. She was wearing a
tiny corset with red velvet bikini bottoms and long black boots. "Of
course, I could've done that. But I like challenging my foes before
I kill them."
"You're the one that is supposed to help me." Demonica said, rolling her eyes. "I could've stayed in my dimension for such worthless help." Demonica said.
"Yes. Well, I noticed something about you." Maria said. "I was
planning an attack on Earth when you landed, and you weren't in this form." She said as she stood up. "You looked different."
"Ah. My human form." Demonica said. "Yes. Before I appeared, I was sure to transform so I wouldn't be open to any sort of attack."
"So do I get to see this form?" Maria asked as she circled
Demonica. "Not that this form isn't very appealing." Maria said with a smile.
"You're far too close to me. Back off." Demonica spat.
"Strictly dickly, huh?" Maria said with a smile. "You shouldn't be."
"I didn't come here to be molested, I came here for help." Demonica growled.
"What kind of help?" Maria asked as she sat back on her throne. A
Kelsak poured her a glass of Dragon's Blood.
"In my dimension, I am the surpreme evil force." Demonica
began. "But I've been eternally damned by a group of accursed good doers..."
"I know the feeling." Maria interrupted as she took a sip from the
wine glass. "But spare me the history lesson. I'm very ruthless when I make my deals. So before anything, what's in it for me?
"You and I have common goals." Demonica said. "We both seek to rule our respective dimensions. But whenever I get close, there's a force of good that stops me. The Nova Warriors..."
"I take it these Nova Warriors are the equivelent of my bothersome Power Rangers." Maria said as she crossed her legs.
"Yes. I came to this dimension seeking help, thinking you had no
foes. I should've known better." Demonica growled. "What I suggest is a truce. I easily defeated your Rangers. I take it you can just as easily defeat my Novas. Together, we will be the supreme rulers of our universes." Demonica's eyes gleefully started to glow.
"Hmm...sounds interesting enough." Maria said with a shrug. "But I'm not the type of woman who likes to share. Unless it's a little
saliva, but you've already told me your not interested." She smiled.
"Someone so immature should not be allowed to conquer a dimension." Demonica said. "But we will put or differences aside for this one common goal."
"Okay, sweetheart." Maria said as she stood up and extended a
hand. "You have a deal." Demonica smiled and returned the handshake. Maria pulled her in. "But if you screw me, bitch, I will not hesitate to kill you."
"Like you could." Demonica smiled evily.
******
Suki winced as the cold alchohol touched her cuts. "What about Clu? Is he okay? I mean, will he be okay?" She asked.
"He's uh...he's sort of weak right now. But he'll pull through." Jen
said as she started to wrap Suki's arm. "What about you?"
"I'm fine. I'm just worried about Clu." Suki sniffled. "I don't know
why, I mean it's not like we're best friends or anything."
"He took a pretty big shot." Jen said. "I'm gonna have to work on
his morpher a little, but it and he will be fine."
"Yeah...I'm not frog boy..." Clu said weakly as he stumbled into the room.
"Clu, you should be in bed." Jen said.
"I'm fine." He said, though the various bruises proved otherwise.
"Are you sure?" Suki said as she stood up. Jen walked quietely out of the room.
"Yeah. I'm in pain, I feel like a train hit me, but I'm fine." Clu
said with a weak smile.
"Why the hell did you take that shot for me?" Suki asked.
"Suki, I may act like an asshole, but your still my friend." Clu
said. "Sure, your annoying and obnixious sometimes, but a friend
none the less."
"Clu, be serious." Suki said with a smile.
"I am." Clu said as he sat down. "Ugh...it was one helluva a shot I
took, though."
"I know." Suki sat next to him. "I could've taken it."
"Yeah, and you could've been fried." Clu said. Suki smiled, and then there was an awkward silence. "Suki..." Clu started, but Suki kissed him. "Whoa, Suki!" Clu pulled away-of course, it was a while before he did, but never the less, he pulled away. "Suki..."
"That didn't just happen." Suki said as she stood up. "I...I have to
get back to Earth. I'll talk to you later." Suki left before Clu had
a chance to object.
*******
"I wonder how Jamal is doing." Alisha said, a worried tone in her
voice. They all sat around the Crystal Chamber, wondering the fate of their comrade.
"Wherever he is, I'm sure he's okay." Lamont tried to sound
comforting, but his voice showed otherwise.
"Maybe he got zapped or something, and he's laying in the middle of the gateway, lost forever." Terrance said.
"TEE!" The group yelled.
"What?" Terrance asked. "Hey, at least I'm not in denile. He could
very well be..."
"Don't." Nichole said. "He's not dead."
"I don't believe this." Aleia said, a smile spreading across her
face. "Lamont, look at these power readings."
Lamont stood up and looked at the readings on the monitors. "Yeah, what about them?"
"Well, there's a couple strong powers in the other dimension, but
there's another, more faint power reading. Now, given the distance from the Crystal Chamber, and the interference from the gateway, it's safe to say..."
"That power reading...it belongs to Jamal!" Lamont said.
"Exactly!" Aleia said. The group all stood up. "The signal is very
faint, but it's there. At least we know he's still alive."
"But look at this reading." Lamont pointed to the screen. "It's
almost equal with that of Jamal when he's completely powered up...I need to do some research." He said as he prepared to teleport out of the Crystal Chamber.
"Hey, this isn't any time to worry about school, we gotta find
Jamal." Terrance said.
"Tee...just stop." Brianna said.
"What?"
*******
Jamal felt a little woozy as he walked through Brookstone
City. "Well, I'm here...so what am I looking for?" Jamal said.
"Mommy, look, Power Rangers!" He heard a little girl say. Jamal
walked over to a store front window and his eyes widened.
"Earlier today, the city was rocked by the appearance of yet another of Maria's henchmen." The reporter said. The camera panned around to Demonica.
"Oh...no..." Jamal said. "She's here..."
"This alien seemed more powerful than any the Rangers have
previously faced, and it seems that the Power Rangers were defeated at her hands."
"She crossed the dimensions." Jamal said as he started to walk
again. "That's why she needed that crystal, so she could come here. But why?" As he thought harder, he became dizzier. "That travel between dimensions...it's got me disoriented." Jamal said as he sucked in a deep breath and tried to walk it off.
********
"Ugh...I feel like a semi-truck hit me." Letty said as she stretched.
"Yeah...who was that chick." Adam said as Jen bandaged him up. "That wasn't just one of Maria's hired henchmen."
"She said something about being from another dimension." Carolin said. "Maybe that's the key to all of this."
"It's not much of a clue, but it's the only one we have." Tommy
sighed as he cracked his neck. "But I'd hate to see what happens if those two do team-up."
"Yeah...Demonica is still hot though." Clu said, trying to lighten
the mood.
"Hey, where's Suki?" Adam asked.
"Uh...she went back down to Earth. She wanted to get cleaned up." Clu said, making perhaps the best lie he had ever.
"Hey, Clu." Adam took Clu aside. "Look man, thanks for saving Suki."
"Aw, dude, it was nothing..." Clu said, looking to quickly avoid the
subject.
"No, man, I really appreciate it, I know you and Suki don't see eye-to-eye a lot of the time. It means a lot to me, bro." Adam said as he walked away.
"Well rub it in why don't you..." Clu sighed heavily.
<I find in these cases, it's best to tell the truth.> DECA said.
"DECA, if you say a word, I'll reprogram you into vending machine." Clu growled.
****
Suki roared through the streets in her Toyota Supra. "What the hell compelled me to kiss Clu." She thought to herself "I mean, I don't even like him. I mean, sometimes he's kinda funny, in the right light he's pretty attractive, and the way he wrinkles his forehead when he's concentrating is so cute..."
"Oh my...I like Clu!" Suki yelled outloud. She slammed on the brakes of her Toyota Supra as she saw someone cross into the crosswalk out of nowhere. She fully intened to chew the guy out for almost making her crash, until she saw him collapse in the street. She quickly got out of her car and rushed to him, causing traffic to beep at her. "What's your problem, what are you doing in the middle of the street?"
"I don't know...I need help." The African-American managed to say.
"Okay, let's get you somewhere safe." Suki said as she helped him into the backseat of her car.
********
Jamal slowly opened his eyes, a huge pain shooting up and down his side. Staring back at him was a red haired Asian woman, her hair pulled back in a ponytail with two diamond studs in her ears. And to top it off, she was only wearing a black bra. "Wow...heaven IS the best place anywhere."
"You're not in heaven, sweetheart." The woman said as he sat up. She pulled a red fishnet shirt over her head. Jamal could now see she was wearing a very short black skirt with Manolo Blahniks. "You're in Brookstone."
"Ugh...oh yeah..." Jamal said groggily
"Yeah." She said as she sat down next to him. "You stepped in front of my car, I almost hit you."
"Oh. So your the girl that almost killed me." Jamal said with a
smile.
"Yeah. You scared the hell outta me, stumbling into that crosswalk." She said as she exteneded a hand. "Suki Aoki."
"Jamal Ellis." They both shook hands.
"So, Jamal Ellis, where are you from?" Suki asked.
Jamal paused, thinking the question over carefully. "It's a town
called Emerald Cove." He said.
"I've never heard of Emerald Cove." Suki said, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, well...it's a real small town." Jamal said.
"So why were you staggering around." Suki asked.
"Well, I haven't eaten much today." Jamal said. "It's been a long
day."
"What, did you get plastered?" Suki asked.
"Yeah, kind of." Jamal said. <If you count being plastered to the
side of a swirling vortex of doom.>
"Well, you can chill here for the day." Suki said as she
stood. "I'll go get you a shirt? You have a color preference?"
"Red." Jamal said instictively.
"Really...I was kidding." Suki said with a shrug.
*****
"Hey guys." Clu said as he appeared on the bridge of the Silver
Space Titanus. He had a bandage wrapped around his forehead. He wasn't wearing a shirt- with all the bandages around his ribs he couldn't lift his arms to put one on.
"Damn, you look really bad." Carolin said. She didn't look great
herself, with her ankle bandaged and propped up on a console.
"Man, who is this bitch Demonica?" Letty asked.
"I feared this day would come." Maureen said as she walked onto the bridge.
"What are you talking about?" Tommy asked. "What's going on, do you know who Demonica is?"
"I know of her." Maureen said as she sat down. "In the back of my mind, I knew that someone would get their hands on the Dykorian Crystal."
"The Dy-karoke wha?" Clu asked.
"The Dykorian Crystal." Maureen said and sighed deeply. "Eons ago, Zordon of Eltare came to Earth looking for me. He took me to
Lightron and we learned of a grave danger. The approach of Dark
Spectre and the United Alliance of Evil shook the forces of good. It
was agreed that we would split the universe into two dimensions-the Negasis dimension, our dimension, and the Chronasis dimension, an alternate dimension almost identical to our own. It was thought in this way, we would split the UAE appart. But that didn't happen. Instead, new forms of evil began to appear in the Chronasis, demons."
"And we got the aliens." Suki said.
"Exactly. The Elders and I each created a set of ultimate powers,
stronger than anything in their respective universes. It was
expected in this way, that we could keep the dimensions hidden from each other."
"Then Maria smashed the Orb of Time." Letty said, realizing what was going to happen. "There's another Orb, Mom. The Orb of Continium."
"Yes, there is." Maureen sighed. "If Demonica or Maria get their
hands on the Orb of Continium and destroy it along with the Dykorian Crystal, the two dimensions will merge...and there will be no way to stop either of them."
"Wait...you said there's another set of powers." Clu said. "A set
equal to the power of ours. Maybe there's a way..."
"Without the Dykorian Crystal, it would be impossible for the Nova
Warriors to get here." Maureen said.
"Nova Warriors? That's what Demonica called us." Adam
said. "Demonica must've had problems conquering the Chronasis
dimension...that's why she needed Maria's help. She came here to get some back-up..."
"To find the other Orb, no doubt." Tommy growled. "Aw man, this day just went from bad to worse."
"So what do we do? Sit here and let them destroy us?" Carolin asked.
"No. But we have to be smart about this plan." Tommy said. "DECA, can you find Suki?"
<Suki's communicator is temporarily offline.> DECA reported. <Trying emergency frequency.>
"We have to hurry...who knows what's happening now." Letty said.
******
"There's still no sign of the Novas. All signs point to them being
dead." Gon' Mai reported.
"Excellent. Soon we will be rid of those pesky AuraRangers as
well.." Demonica said as she removed her mask. She slowly reverted back to her human form. Her dark hair flowed and her dark skin lightened to a lighter tan. Her muscular build slightly disappeared to show a more shapely young woman. Maria tried to look around Charisse into her cauldron. "Do you mind!" Charisse spat.
"Okay, okay, geesh, sorry." Maria said as she hunched over the side of the cauldron. "Whose the ugly looking hairball?" She asked.
"If I were you, I'd bite my tongue." Charisse growled. "Anyway, Gon' Mai, I want you to make sure that no one tries anything.
"And you call me an amatuer." Maria said with a cocky smile.
"What do you mean?" Charisse raised and eyebrow.
"I'm just saying, you defeated those Novas relatively easily. I
wouldn't be surprised if they were still alive, or if they were
here, even." Maria said. "How about you let me go to your dimension and find out."
"I'd rather you not have the Dykorian Crystal in your possesion."
Charisse said as she held the orb tightly in her fist. "You're
actions have not proven you are exactly trustworthy."
"Honey, the only way I'll get what I want is if you hand it to me."
Maria said. "Does this thing get free porn?"
"I'm guessing immaturity is a virtue here." Charisse said, rolling
her eyes. She looked into her cauldron and something caught her
eye. "Oh...who is he?" She said, spreading the first smile Maria had seen across her face.
"Huh?" Maria looked into the cauldron. "Oh...that's Adam." She said, remembering the night they spent together. "Get that look off your face. He's off the market."
"So what has that got to do with me, huh?" Charisse smiled
devilishly.
"If you know what's good for you, you won't test me." Maria growled.
"Wow. Someone is actually serious for once." Charisse
chuckled. "Fine, I won't mess with 'your man', Maria. But I suggest
you get a little more serious."
"My queen, I found the Red Ranger!" Elgar said.
"On screen." Maria said.
The view screen showed Suki walking down the street with someone dressed in a red tanktop, red and white shorts with dirty water shoes. Charisse's eyes started to glow in anger. "NO!" She yelled.
"I take it that is one of your Novas." Maria said. "And when there's one."
"Quiet!" Charisse spat. "I have to think of a way to get rid of him
for good! I need a demon!"
"Well excuse me if we have a slight lack of them." Maria said,
rolling her eyes. "And you wouldn't want the Novas to realize that
Charisse and Demonica are both missing. I'm sure it won't take them long to put two and two together."
"Dammit." Charisse said. "There's got to be a way to be rid of them!"
"There is." Maria said. "You go after the lone Nova here and my
Rangers, and I go after your Novas on the otherside, and we won't leave one of them standing. All you have to do is hand me the Dykorian Crystal and we can end the Novas and Auras once and for all." Maria smiled evily.
"And how do you plan on beating the Novas in that?" Charisse
asked. "Do you actually think you'll win?"
"Of course not." Maria said, looking at her red halter top and black
leather skirt. She snapped her fingers and her battle armor formed- black boots with black leather pants, a black armored halter-top and a black overcoat.. "I always go into battle in style."
"I take it your a size 5, tall and slim?" Charisse asked.
"Size 4. Always go a size smaller, it makes me look bustier." Maria
said as her jewel tipped staff appeared in her hands. She extended a palm. "The Crystal."
"Don't screw me." Charisse growled as she handed Maria the crystal.
"I won't." Maria growled as she turned her back to Demonica. "Elgar, come with me. I'll send that disgusting flea bag of a general Gon' Mai back to assit you." Maria said. "Don't wait up." She said as she winked. The two of them teleported off the bridge of the ship. Charisse smiled evily. "Oh, but I just may screw you, Maria. I'm going to make sure that both the universes are mine."
*****
Maria arrived in Demonica's chambers. "Hmm...not bad. A little dark, but not bad." She said.
"Who are you?" Gon' Mai asked, grabbing his sword.
"Aw, calm down." Elgar said. "Your mistress is waiting for you on
the otherside. I suggest you get going before the portal closes.
"If I were you, I'd watch myself." Gon'Mai growled as past through
the portal.
"I'd love to see the cat that coughed him up." Elgar laughed.
"Elgar, get ready. We're heading to Earth." Maria said. "I hope you have some Dragon's Blood so we can get some Kelsaks."
"Of course." Elgar said.
"Excellent." Maria smiled. "Because we aren't just going to destroy the Novas. We're gonna destroy the Orb of Continium, and I will rule both dimensions."
End of Dark Horizons Part 1
