Mystic Destiny: A Power Rangers Series: Season Two

[GeddonZord]

"Times and Laws" Part One

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b395/Sword_of_Geddon/MysticDestinyLogo.jpg

As far as the eye could see was the ruined remains of scyscapers in various degrees of descruction. Dust and grit covered everything, and one thousand fires burned in every direction. One could almost say the sight was a glimpse of the end of the world. This hell was all that remained of Angel Grove, California.

The dust of the crater cleared. The Rangers expected to see, hoped to see Jeremy at the bottom of the crater. Instead…they saw only grains of sand, blackened by the explosion.

“Where is Jeremy? He should have been left behind once Dragonda was defeated.” Kevin said

“I suspect foul play.” Alex said

Meanwhile, far above the world, the conclusion to a ferocious battle was about to begin.

The Astro Megaship slowly glided threw the wreckage of the GOH fleet, and slowly, a much larger ship came into view beyond…

Inside the ship’s bridge, three of the most decorated Rangers in the galaxy were intently watching the viewscreen in front of them.

“I think we have found Nicolae’s ship.” Zhane said

Andros calmed himself and spoke

“This is it guys. Its time to take out GOH once and for all. Today Nicolae will pay for his crimes. All of the destruction and innocents slain will be avenged. Power up shields to maximum and prepare for battle.”

Silently, Karone and Zhane obeyed Andros command, and silently, the Megaship soared forward, clearing the last of wreckage.

Immediately, thousands of laser blasts streaked out of the enormious ship, attempting to swat the Megaship like a fly.

“That’s a lot of firepower.” Karone said

“Yes I know, but we’ve faced tougher challenges than this guys. If the Mystic Rangers could defeat Dragonda, one of the most powerful monsters I’ve ever seen, then the Space Rangers can defeat GOH.” Andros said

Inside the ship, an equally confident Nicolae gazed down upon the planet below, and his lips twisted into a sinister smile.

“Dragonda has been defeated, but no matter. Victory is still mine. “ Nicolae said

“But sir….our entire space fleet has been destroyed. The allied Lightspeed armada is closing on our position.” Ancient said worrily.

“They are of no concern.” Nicolae said dismissively.

“But sir!” Ancient said

“SILENCE!” Nicolae yelled, the room seeming to shake.

Ares let out a small chuckle, amused at Nicolae’s outburst.

“Can’t you sense it Ancient?” Nicolae said, pointing a lean finger towards earth

“Sense what?” Ancient asked, confused

“The Rangers…they exhausted nearly all of their power in that last battle. Thanks to Titaneron and Steela and our Asian Continental commander, we are closer to our goal than ever! Now is the perfect opertunity to finish them off for good!” Nicolae said.

“With what? Almost all of our Desparados were destroyed.” Ancient said.

“Take us down into the atmosphere. Have all of our remaining Vectors primed for launch. And have our heavy ground assault vehicles launched as well. We will spare the Rangers no quarter.” Nicolae said.

Far below, on earth, Kevin kicked a rock in frustration, then lifted his arms to the sky and yelled in anger

“That’s the last of our friends you take from us you GOH bastards! I’m going to make you all pay!” Kevin screamed

Allison broke down in tears, collapsing to the ground.

Samantha bent down and comforted her friend

Justin looked into the sky, and Jack stared ahead silently

Alex walked over to Allison and put his right hand on her shoulder.

“I promise you Allison, that they will all be avenged. But now we must put ourselves toghether. The battle is not yet over.” Alex said

“And when is it going to end? When Alex? When every city is destroyed? When everyone we love and care about is taken from us?” Allison said

Jack stared ahead and said emotionlessly:

“To walk the path of the Ranger is to walk alone. I know that all to well” Jack said

“No…we are never alone. Not as long as we have each other. Now put yourselves toghether guys. Remember all we have fought for. We cannot afford to fall to pieces now.” Justin said, turning towards his friends

“What are we fighting for?” Kevin said

Justin paused, then looked down, at a loss for words.

“I’ll tell you what we are fighting for” Alex said, stepping forward.

All five other Rangers turned towards Alex

“We are fighting for everyone on this planet, and in the world I came from, everyone who cant defend themselve. We are fighting for all that is good…for all that is right.” Alex said

“What is right? What is wrong? Does anyone even know for sure?” Jack said

“I do.” Alex said

Jack turned towards his friend, and mentor

“Then what are they?” Jack said

“Evil is more horrible than anything in existence. It is the essence of inexistence. It is the pressing of the will of the strong on the weak. It is the corruption of the minds of men from innocence into depravity. It is darkness desguised as light.” Alex said

“And good?” Jack asked

“Good is a newborn baby embraced by his mother. Good is the rainbow which shines overhead after a horrible storm. Good is the rising sun, promising a new day ahead. Good is the love which we feel for our fellow man. Good is life, and the creator of life. Good is what we fight for, and worth fighting for it is indeed.” Alex said

“I wish I knew what you knew Alex..I feel so empty. So alone. My father, who forced me to slaughter innocents, is still alive and well. Denied the justice he deserves. And yet, every battle we lose another we care about. If there is a God, I imagine he must be laughing at our misfortune.” Jack said

“There is a God, and he is not the one laughing. But you must ask yourself this Jack. Maybe you aren’t mad at your father. Maybe you are mad at yourself. Do not let your anger consume you.” Alex said

Jack looked at the ground and said nothing

“Come on guys…I think we should try and see if we can find any survivors.” Samantha said, motioning her friends to follow her.

“Wait…do you guys hear that?” Allison said, wiping away her tears

Suddenly an enormious shadow engulfed the entire area. The Rangers looked upwards to see the bottom of an enormious spacecraft slowly drifting threw the sky. Nearby, the blue and red form of the Astro Megaship continued to dodge laser blasts from the ship, while struggling to launch attacks of its own against the much larger vessel.

“That must be Nicolae’s ship, theres no other explanation for it.” Jack said, catching his balance as he nearly triped on some falling rocks set loose by the vibrations of the massive vessel overhead.

Justin stared upwards for a moment in thought

“That means that GOH’s fleet has been destroyed.” Justin said

Samantha turned towards Justin, wiping some sweat off her forhead.

“I’d imagine Nicolae’s planning one final assault in a last ditch effort to defeat us.” Samantha said

The sound of clapping could be heard nearby. The Rangers as one turned their heads in surprise to see a handsome tan-skinned man with sleek black hair and the three-piece suit staring at them some ten feet away from atop the remains of a red ford pickup truck.

“Very good Samantha. My your Rangers have been quite the entertainment, but as they say, all good things must come to an end.” The man said

“Nicolae!” Justin said in surprise, his eyes widening with relization.

(Nicolae’s themesong begins to play)

Nicolae bowed gracefully, smirking as he did so.

“Yours truly. We meet at last face to face Rangers. I would have done so sooner, had I known that you would have been this must of a nuisance.” Nicolae said with a smirk on his handsome features.

“Whatever your planning Nicolae, it won’t succeed, we will stop you.” Justin said couragiously, clutching his fist tightly with determination.

“Oh please, will you stop with the mindless heriocs? Its getting alittle cliché Red Ranger. You don’t know what kind of powers your up against. You never did. You think me or GOH actually matters in this little game of ours?” Nicolae asked, raising his right eyebrow.

That statement sent a shiver down the Ranger’s spine

“Since you are all about to die anyway, I might as well tell you. Long ago, I was a prince in France. Tell me, have you ever heard of the French revulution?” Nicolae asked, ignoring the sound of jet engines roaring in the distance..

“Yes..emboldened by the recent American revulution, the french people rose up and forced the king to concede to a constitutional government.” Samantha said

“Yes, but that was only the beginning. The King was not satisfied with having his power limited, so he fled the country. When he was caught, the populace was horrified. The King was executed, and the system of executing anyone suspected of being a royalist began.” Justin finished

“The Reign of Terror.” Alex said flatly staring ahead, his gaze never waivering.

“The poor fools took me away, and I was to be raised by a commoner. They thought they could beat the royal blood out of me.” Nicolae said in slight amusement.

“But that prince is dead. He died centuries ago.” Samantha said with some insistance.

“Yes. But not all of him. You see. I had friends in high places it seems. Desiring a champion from our world, beings visiting our time and space choose me. I was to change the past, so that they would have a future.” Nicolae said

“Then it was you who changed the future. It was you who eliminated time force, Jenn, Trip, and everyone else.” Alex said, clutching his fist in restrainted anger.

“No, that’s the best part.” Nicolae said, then began to laugh manically

“You did that all by yourself!” Nicolae said

“That’s impossible!” Alex said

“Ever hear of the grandfather paradox?” Nicolae said

“Yes, if I were to travel back in time and kill my grandfather before he had children, I would have never been born, so I would have never been able to kill him to begin with.” Alex said

“You are quite right. The Timeline you came from, had no Phantom Ranger in its past. The Turbo Rangers were destroyed by General Havoc, and Andros recruited the former Zeo Rangers to join him in space.” Nicolae said

Alex stared at Nicolae silently

“Alex, is that true? Were me and my friends supposed to die?” Justin said

“Yes..I never wanted to talk about it, but I did change the past. But I don’t understand how that could destroy the world I came from.” Alex said

“When time is altered to much, it begins to collapse. Imagine how many little alterations your precious time force alone created. It only took alittle push, that is, my rescuing, to throw things over the edge, but you my friend, are largely responsible.” Nicolae said

Alex’ eyes narrowed

“But why? Why destroy the future?” Allison said

“That’s the question isn’t it? But its one you will never know the answer to, because now is your time to die.” Nicolae said

“You and what army?” Justin said

“Me and THIS army!” Nicolae said

Suddenly hundreds of Vectors soared down from the ship overhead and landed behind Nicolae.

“Time to turn your army to scrap then.” Justin said

“Right is Might!” The Rangers said toghether, but soon their courage turned to horror as their powers failed to activate.

“Whats wrong? Why isn’t it working?” Jack asked

“We used up a lot of power in our fight with Dragonda. I should have known this was going to happen.” Alex said

“You played with fire, and now you will get burned for your carelessness.” Nicolae said

As one, the Vectors charged.

The Vectors began to circle around the Rangers, surrounding them.

“Why aren’t they attacking? They have us! They could kill us easily!” Samantha said

“What a delightfully splendid idea! But alas, I have bigger, and better plans for you Rangers. Your powers, once drained, will supply all the Neo-human embryos on earth with the energy needed to survive. Because of you, the next step towards humanity’s extinction will begin.” Nicolae said

“The Visitors…” Alex said in thought.

“Theres only one thing you forgot.” Justin said

“And what would that be?” Nicolae said

“This….Valor!” Justin said, suddenly transforming into the mighty red knight.

The other rangers likewise called upon their words of power, and as one, the Mystic Knights stood, with a beam of light from above shining upon them.

“Thou hast forgotten the courage of the knight.” Justin said

“Subdue them at all costs!” Nicolae said

“Cry havoc and let us unsleash the dogs of war!” Kevin said

The Knights summoned their weapons, and as one, advanced into the fray.

Despite their state of the art technology, the Vectors found they were no match for the Knights, as lance, sword, arrow and mace sliced, pierced, and smashed into them, one by one.

Nicolae stared at the Rangers in horror as his forces were slowly but surely being decimated.

Justin swung his sword to the left and the right, slicing threw two Vectors. Kevin ran forwards, impailing three vectors one after another with his lance.

Samantha and Allison dodged laser blasts from several Vectors, and unleashed arrows at the Vectors, causing one after another to explode.

Jack swung his mace around, smashing it into every Vector surrounding him.

And Alex wielded Excalibur with grace and finess, slicing one Vector after another with his powerful weapon.

“As usual I have underestimated you. No matter, as I speak, my massive Doomtanks and Deathwalkers are beginning their assualt on every major city on this planet.” Nicolae said

“You fiend! Thou shall never succeed!” Samantha said

“We shall see.” Nicolae said

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Across the globe, citizens screeked in terror as they saw massive mechanical monscosities approaching their cities. They were black in color with red cockpits, and possessed two legs which uniformly marched relentlessly onward. Alongside them were even largervehicles, jet black tanks similar in design, only more than ten times the size, of ordinary modern tanks.

As one, the vehicles stopped abruptly a short distance from the city limits. Whether the icy tundras of moscow, the deserts near cairo, or the jungles of peru made no difference.

Only one thing stoped them from attacking.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Nicolae looked at the Knights defiantly fighting on despite being hopelessly outnumbered and smiled.

“You can stop now with your foolish heriocs Rangers. My army is in position. All I need to do is give the order, and every major city on the planet will be obliterated.” Nicolae said

“Thou speaks with a lying tongue.” Allison, the violet knight, said.

“Will you risk that? My forces could easily reduce all those cities to what you see around us.” Nicolae gestured around the area, pausing.

“If you wish this post apocalyse look on any more cities, I would be happy to start the urban renewal. So what will it be? Have millions of people’s blood on your hands? Or your immediate and total surrender?” Nicolae said

“Thy has bested us..we will not allow you to harm any innocients on our behalf…” Justin said, laying down his sword, which suddenly dematerialed in a flash of red light, as did Justin’s armor.

The other Rangers likewise did the same, and like Justin, their armor also disappeared.

“You wont get away with this!” Justin said

“I’m sure those triatorus Temra Rangers or Lightspeed wll try and stop me, but It is irreviant. I have won this battle Rangers.” Nicolae said, then disappeared in a collumn of white light

The Rangers also disappeared, finding themselves in hollow containment tubes.

“Where are we?” Allison asked

Looking around, the Rangers found their surroundings eeriely familiar. Outside were hundreds, no thousands, of green tubes containing what looked like human embyros. The room was completely metallic silver, with only dim lighting from the green tubes illuminating the room.

“Looks like that room in GOH’s old Montana base we destroyed last year.” Samantha said

“Are we in that place again?” Kevin asked

“No…can’t you feel the vibrations?” Jack asked

“What vibrations?” Kevin asked, confused

“I keep forgetting you don’t have a sixth sense..but whatever we are in, its not staying still.” Jack said

“Nicolae’s Ship.” Samantha said in realization.

"Those containers look eeriely familiar too." Justin said

“Yes…those are more of my clones. GOH intends to drain our powers into them. The morphing energies and power inside the morphers fuels the embryo’s developing physic abilities. The more power they drain from a morpher, the more powerful the Embryos will become.” Jack said

“You make it sound like some power was drained into you Jack.” Samantha said

“That’s because some was..” Alex said flatly

“What? How? GOH didn’t start capturing Rangers until years after Jack was born.” Kevin said

“The Green Ranger powers. Time Force always wondered what became of them. When Tommy Oliver’s clone decided to live in the past, he took the coin and the powers with him. The Green Coin dissapeared from the annals of history after that, never to be heard from again.” Alex said

“GOH found the coin in an old chest, buried near the old village of Angel Grove that existed during colonial times. Since I was GOH’s first attempt at a Neo-Human, in order for me to have any psychic abilities, I had to have powers drained into me. After all the remaining power in the Green coin was emptied into me, GOH found my physic abilities were far below what they wanted. So Gommora was created using alien dna. When that didn’t work out as planned, due to Gommora’s deformities and unloyal nature, they turned to capturing all the Rangers on the planet, not only to get them out of the way for Nicolae’s conquest, but to fuel the first generation of Neo-Humans. Since we put a stop to that plan, they were unable to awaken them. Until now.” Jack said

“Lucky us.” Kevin said, pressing his hands against the glass

“What do we do now?” Samantha asked

“We wait.” Alex said

To Be Continued…

"Times and Laws" Part Two

Down the corridor came Nicolae, Vestrogoth and Ancient, with Nicolae leading the way.

“Here comes larry, curly and moe, the three stooges of evil.” Kevin said

The threesome stopped in front of the six tubes the Rangers were imprisioned in, and Vestrogoth stepped forward.

“So how does it feel to be trapped alive, while your powers slowly are drained out of you Rangers?” Vestrogoth said, taunting the Rangers, but focusing his icy stare towards Kevin.

“What?” Allison said

“Oh, I’m sorry, Nicolae, you didn’t tell them what we were going to do to them?” Vestrogoth said, turning towards Nicolae, who shook his head.

“Oh that’s rich.” Vestrogoth said, chuckle to himself.

“Vestrogoth, I want you to guard the Rangers while I oversee the ‘battle’ going on outside.” Nicolae said

“With pleasure fuether.” Vestrogoth said, causing Nicolae to role his eyes.

Nicolae stepped forward and pressed his hands against the glass of Justin’s prison.

“My little friend, you have caused me a lot of trouble. I don’t think you realized how much.” Nicolae said, smiling at Justin in an arrogant manner.

“Thankyou, I am glad you approve.” Justin said, bowing mockingly

“Humor yourself with the thought of escape Red Ranger, but it will do you no good. These capsules are escape proof, even the great magician himself couldn’t escape even if he wanted to. You see, I planned years for this moment, the awakening of the new humanity. I nearly succeeded due to Gommora’s undying hatred of you Rangers, but then you escaped us Justin. And because of you..” Nicolae started, turning towards Alex with even more speed than he had with Justin.

“Yes. I too foresaw your actions Nicolae. Once I learned of your organization’s existence I spent years forming the resistance, right under your nose to I might add. Each and every of my inventions was created procesely to destroy your work. And soon you will regret bringing us aboard.” Alex said

“Alex, are you sure it’s a good idea to gloat now?” Kevin said

“Tough talk, but I wonder how you are going to snatch a victory out of the jaws of defeat while I am out here, and you are in there?” Nicolae said, smirking

“Where theres a will, theres a way.” Alex said

“Its going to be sweet indeed to finally be rid of you self-righteous, multi-colored worms. But for now, I bid you farwell.” Nicolae said, walking away with Ancient behind him.
Vestrogoth stole one last glance at Kevin, and then began walking back and forth in front of the Rangers.

Looking around, Justin tried to find a way out, some sort of weak point in the structure of his prison. But it was fruitless. Above was only the ceiling of his prison, and it was bland and white, lacking any defining feature. Below, the floor two was covered in the same white substance. In anger and frustration, Justin aimed his hardest punch, one that had defeated Pirahnatrons back in his days as the Mountain Blaster Turbo Ranger long ago, at the clear glasslike surface of his prison.

But rather then shattering, Justin felt a sharp throbing pain when his fist collided with the glass. To Justin’s horror, the pain spread up his fist, into his arm, and soon engulfed his entire body. Falling to the ground, Justin cursed loudly threw clenched teeth.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you Red Ranger, that’s vibroglass. Not only is it extremely hard to damage and destroy, but it likes to teach people who try a lession in the true meaning of pain. Its made from a quantum phased diamond laced titanium alloy. Sometimes our scientists elevate chemistry to a true science, but such moments are rare.” Vestrogoth said

“Quantum phasing eh?” Alex said, thinking outloud.

Vestrogoth began to pace again, but it wasn’t long before he started talking to himself.

“Why do I, Tor Von Vestrogoth, allow myself to reduced to a mere security guard? I know we are low on personel like never before, but this is ludicrious. I would be worth more leading an assualt on that pathetic Lightspeed Station.” Vestrogoth muttered.

“Whats the matter? Its not like the Third Reich is going to live again anytime while your down here with us.” Kevin joked

Vestrogoth’s eyes lite up red with rage, and he quickly turned towards Kevin and stared into him. It is said that the eyes are windows to the soul. In this case, all Kevin saw inside was an all consuming bottomless pit of burning hatred.

“I am looking forward to having the privledge of killing you when your powerless Kevin. Think about that before your sorry attempts at humor.” Vestrogoth said, turning away from Kevin.

Meanwhile, on the bridge of the ship..

Various bridge crew sat in their stations, endlessly going over their piloting duties. In appearance, they wore uniforms of darkest black, and all of them seemed to be caucasian with black or blond hair. In ways, they looked like the opposite of Lightspeed Station’s bridge crew, which were diverse and talkative, rather than uniform and silent.

In configuration, the bridge room was like any other on the ship. The floors were uniformly black as coal, and the walls white in color like newly fallen snow on a winter’s night. The various control panels were arranged symetricly on either side of a central ramp which led from the pilot’s area to what was known by the bridgecrew during off-duty hours as “Nicolae’s priviate balcony”. The balcony itself was featureless, possessing the same walls and floors as the rest of the room. However, what it had that all other rooms in the bridge lacked, was the largest viewing window on the ship. Outside the window, was clear blue sky above the horizon line. Below, was endless grey ash and dust, as well as the pieces of once pristine pieces of the Angel Grove skyline. The city proper had been destroyed earlier that same day, by the monster known as Dragonda. What had started out as a routine day in Angel Grove, had ended before it had started. The alarm that had sounded across the city at Dragonda’s initual appearance, proved to be Angel Grove’s last.

Nicolae stood surveying the destruction from his usual standing area on the bridge. His lips curled in a small smile as he witnessed the damage Dragonda had done. Nicolae cleared his throat and spoke.

“I will have a monument to our victory located on the remains of this very city. It shall be a testament to my greatest triumph. And it is here that we will build a great palace from which to rule this planet, and eventually the entire galaxy.” Nicolae said

Out of the shadows of the room, Ares emmerged. The demon hadn’t changed a bit from the moment Nicolae first met him many years ago. He was always drapped in a black cloak which covered his entire body, except for his head, which was a red mask with fiery red ruby eyes and two twisted white ram’s horns on either side. Nicolae could sense the demon’s power, and it was great indeed, but he had a feeling the creature was keeping most of it hidden. As one of Nicolae’s two contacts with the only beings in the universe he called master, Ares was an intimidating sight, even for Nicolae.

“Nicolae Amadius, do not forget your promise to us. In return for the power we gave to you, you must ensure the integrity of the new timestream. Until the Mystic Rangers are fully drained, the future is not yet clear.” Ares spoke in his ominious, dark, yet charismatic voice.

“I am aware with my contract Ares. And I assure you, time is already on our side.” Nicolae said

“Make certain that is the case Nicolae. There are others that can serve us equally as well if you should fail.” Ares said.

Nicolae fought a brief serge of fear, and then resumed looking out the window.

“The Rangers grow weaker as we speak. Already, they lack the power to assume their ultimate forms. Soon they won’t even be able to morph at all. It will only be one hour more.” Nicolae said

“An hour is along time Amadius.” Ares said

Nicolae shuddered, realizing that in all the years since he had known Ares, that was the first time he had failed to call him “Master”. And for the first time in years, the beginnings of true terror began to creep their way into Nicolae’s conscience thoughts. It was the kind of terror that even fine wine could not extinquish.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Nothing much had changed in the capsule room. Vestrogoth still paced back and forth mindlessly, and Alex still sat in deep thought in his capscule. If there was a way out, only he would be able to find it.

The other Rangers also sat silently. Each took the time to reflect on their lives up to that point. But like friendship, such things were best shared with others…

“We’ve been threw a lot so far guys. Remember how we first met?” Justin said, wiping his long black hair out of his eyes

“Yeah, we were in the Youth center, and you just came in, asked to talk with us, and then we were whisked away to the command core.” Samantha said, smiling with rememborance.

Kevin balled his right fist and smacked it into the palm of his left hand.

“Our first battle was amazing. I remember how strange it felt to speak old english uncontrolably like that, but man, was that a rush!” Kevin said

“How we first formed the Destiny Cannon? We defeated so many of GOH’s monsters that way.” Jack said with a smile.

“Remember that gross aboeba monster that Dr. Quey sent at us that one time though, if it weren’t for Alex sacrificing the last of his power ruby’s energy, we would never have beaten it with the Destiny Cannon alone.” Allison added

“And I’ll never forget when we first formed the Megazord.” Jack said

“Tommy..” Justin said sadly.

“Don’t worry, he is still alive man, its us I’m worried about.” Kevin said

“Its hard to believe this is it.” Justin said

“I know, I guess what my grandfather used to say before he passed away is true, life is short, make the most of it. But honestly I didn’t think it would be this short.” Samantha said

Justin, Kevin and Allison laughed at Samantha’s morbid humor, then sat silently again.

Alex caught the other Rangers off-guard when he started to pray.

“God..I know I haven’t lived my life the best way I can, but this is one time when I cannot use my mind to figure a way out of a problem. I’m asking you..please save us, so that we can stop GOH. You once gave the ultimate sacrifice. If our lives is what is required, then so be it.” Alex said

“You think God will save us?” Jack asked

“Its up to him.” Alex said

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Andros circled the enormious GOH ship in his own vessel. Hoping, pleading, that there was a weakness. Earth was the homeworld of the human race, and he was beginning to believe it was the center of the battle of Good and Evil as well. Why was it that so many villains tried to claim it? Why did Zordon place his headquarters on Earth? There was no other explanation for it.

The bridge of the Megaship was unchanged since its last major assignment to the moon three years ago. The only thing that was missing was Alpha Five, who had tragically died during the Forever Red mission. The floors were a deep ocean blue in coloration, much like the night sky at twilight, the controls flashed in numerious colors of the rainbow, and off in one corner of the room, Deka’s round camera provided the computer with sight of the bridge.

Karone, the beautiful woman who was once known as Astronema and who was Andros only remaining blood relative, choose to speak.

“Its no use Andros. Our weapons are having no effect. This thing’s hull is even stronger than the Dark Fortress.” Karone said, her face showing a lot of frustration.

“That cant be good.” Zhane said worrily.

“Its not.” Andros said, narrowing his eyes.

Karone’s attention turned from her brother to her control panel suddenly.

“Andros, I’m picking up a signal from the fleet. Apparently GOH has sent ground vehicles around the planet in range of every major city. Krueger is spliting the fleet and sending it into the atmosphere so we will be in position to counter-attack if GOH chooses to strike.” Karone said

“This is it then, GOH is throwing everything they have got at us.” Zhane said, reminded of the UAE’s last offensive eight years ago.

“Lightspeed also sends a message, it seems all the world leaders have singled their countries, and all of their militaries are being mobilized to join us in the fight. They have authorized the use of nuclear weapons as well…” Karone said worrily.

“I hate to say it, but we may have to use them if it comes down to it.” Zhane said

“I know. If only there was a way to get inside of the ship, we could destroy it from within.” Andros said, pacing the bridge in thought.

“We could have Deka take control of the vessel, and teleport in ourselves. I’m not detecting anything that would hinder teleportation via the Morphing Grid.” Karone said

“Then lets do it. Deka, do you think you could keep the ship safe while we are gone?” Andros asked the computer.

“Affirmative Andros.” The computer responded in its emotionless feminine voice.

“Alright then guys, Lets Rocket!” Andros said, pulling out his morpher in one lightning flash motion of his arms. Zhane and Karone got to their feet, and did the same.

In three flashes of colored light, Andros, Zhane and Karone were replaced by the Red, Silver and Violet Astro Rangers.

“Teleporting now.” Deka said

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Nicolae sensed something amiss from his spot in the bridge.

Turning wildly towards Ares, Nicolae opened his mouth to speak.

“The Space Rangers are onboard the ship. If they aren’t stoped, they will ruin everything.” Nicolae said

“I will send my Sabbaticus monster to deal with them. Victory hasn’t been snatched from you yet Nicolae” Ares said confidently, easing Nicolae somewhat

“Yet.” Ares finished

"Times and Laws" Part Three

It was a dark and dimly lit hallway, somewhere in the ship’s ventilation system. Pipes were everywhere to be seen, tangling around each other and intermingled so that it was impossible to determine where one began and another ended. It was plumber’s nightmare, and it was quickly proving to be the Space Ranger’s as well.

Running forward on the flat metallic ground, Andros led the way forward, with his sister and oldest friend behind him.

Karone choose to speak, shattering the tense silence that had gripped the trio sense they entered the ship.

“The signal is getting stronger Andros. Its similar to our own, but getting weaker.” Karone said

“I think that somehow the Mystic Rangers must have been captured. There is no other explanation for the pressence of a morphing signiture here.” Andros said

“What could defeat the Mystic Rangers?” Zhane said, clearly troubled.

“We did see them confronting GOH’s leader on the ground, it must have been him, somehow.” Andros said

“Lets hope we don’t run into him then.” Zhane said

Somewhere else on the ship, a creature was slowly making its way towards the Rangers. It was a primitive creature. The only things on its mind were completing its mission and of coarse, eating. In appearance, it was clearly demonic. However, it made its way on all fours. It had two large white devilish horns atop its gigantic head, and a large jaw that could shatter titanium. Its head was a greyish color, not unlike that of an elephent. In size it was massive, and could easily devour a man in one gulp. This creature could not be simply described as a monster, no, for it also was a predator.

Pausing, the creature sniffed the air, and briefly opened its gigantic mouth, allowing its thick drool to drip down onto the ground. The creature then raised its head and roared mightily.

Sabbaticus was its name. And it was hungry.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………..

The Trio of Space Rangers entered a four way intersection in the ventilation system. Pausing to look at their surroundings, it was Karone who choose to speak first.

“The signal is coming from straight ahead Andros.”

“Then that is where we will go.” Andros replyed.

In the distance, Zhane thought he heard something, but quickly dismissed it.

The trio made their way forward, then down a step incline. It was then that Zhane heard movement from some distance behind them, and it was getting louder.

“Guys..I think something is following us.” Zhane said

“We better hurry then…Galaxy Gliders..HANG TEN!” Andros said

In a flash of red, the odd surfboard like vehicle materialed in the air. Andros raised his foot and mounted his Glider.

Zhane and Karone did likewise, and in seconds, all three of them were soaring ahead on their vehicles.

“There is a much greater chance we will be detected using these Andros, I hope you know what we are doing.” Karone said

“Don’t tell me the risks.” Andros said

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Slowly the power began to leave them. Like some bloated parasite, the machines the Rangers were trapped in were drinking their fill of the Mysic Morpher’s remaining power. And as the Rangers got weaker, hardly able to stand, the embryos in the green tubes on the other side of the room seemed to grow larger. Some had already started to make small movements. Every second that passed, the more animated the embyros became. It was a fact not lost to Vestrogoth.

Looking up at the now brilliantly glowing green tubes, Vestrogoth couldn’t help but smile beneath his maccrebre mask.

“Look at them Rangers! Soon the Master Race will finally awaken and claim their birthright. The violent reign of Humanity will end, and a new age of unity, peace and harmony will begin. My entire life I’ve waited for this moment.” Vestrogoth said, awe in his tone

Justin tried to speak, but he felt to weak to make the words, slumping back against the wall of his prison helplessly.

“Harmony…without…free will…is not harmony at all.” Kevin said

Vestrogoth turned and stared at Kevin briefly, seemingly in thought, but then began to chuckle.

“Who says they won’t have free will? They will have wills much greater than our own. They will be as gods compared to us. Who are you to question Evolution?” Vestrogoth said

“So that’s what this is all about.” Alex said

“That’s right, use the rest of your energy to talk Gold Ranger. It makes no difference to me how you choose to spend your last moments.” Vestrogoth said

“You have no understanding about the nature of life and existence Vestrogoth.” Alex said, standing.

“You should be barely conscious now, how do you stand?” Vestrogoth said

Alex ignored Vestrogoth’s question, staring at Vestrogoth without a trace of emotion on his face.

“No. I think its you who doesn’t understand. You are a member of a soon to be extinct self-righteous order. There is no such thing as Good and Evil, only truth exists, and the truth is that the nature of existence is that the weak perish and the strong survive.” Vestrogoth said

“Truth? You have no idea what truth is Vestrogoth. You claim Good and Evil do not exist. Yet you fail to realise that your statement cancels itself out.” Alex said, feeling his confidence grow despite his disappearing powers.

“How so?” Vestrogoth said, somewhat amused.

“Because if you say that Good and Evil, also known as Right and Wrong, don’t exist, the statement cannot be right, because right doesn’t exist remember? You said that only truth exists, but you don’t even know what real truth is. The truth is not that the strong shall live and the weak shall perish, but that the weak shall inherit the earth.” Alex said

Vestrogoth began to laugh.

“That was rich. I didn’t know you were a comedian. You remind me of of the Jews who thought they could fight against the Reich. Always sure of victory. You said you believe in God? Well where was God to save those that were supposedily his people? Where was he when the SS rounded every last one of them like cattle and put them in the trains? Where was God when the ovens began to burn?” Vestrogoth said

“He was watching, and weeping.” Alex said

“Your God weeps Alex, mine is above such petty sentiment.” Vestrogoth said

“And yours will soon perish by the hands of those he calls master.” Alex said

Vestrogoth narrowed his eyes at Alex, then turned and stared at the embryos.

“Only five minutes left at most, then the Mystic Rangers will be no more.” Vestrogoth said.

It was then that the the miracle arrived.

With a crash, a panel in the roof of the chamber slammed down to the ground, causing Vestrogoth to nearly jump in startlement.

Then three figures jumped down from the ceiling and landed. One Red, one Violet, and one silver.

“Whats this? A rescue party? I don’t think so!” Vestrogoth said, rushing towards the three space Rangers.

With his weapon that was more drill than sword, Andros charged forward.

“Wait…he is too strong for you, you can’t fight him like that.” Justin said, struggling to breathe.

Andros paused a few feet from Vestrogoth, a pause that Vestrogoth was all to eager to take advantage of.

Bringing his right leg forward, Vestrogoth sent it slamming into Andro’s chest. Backing away, Andros clutched his chest in pain.

“Not even the Mystic Rangers were a match for me, just imagine what I can do to you.” Vestrogoth said

“Zhane, Karone, deactivate the device, I’ll handle this guy.” Andros said, suddenly demorphing.

“Your deactivating your powers? What are you trying to pull?” Vestrogoth said

“THIS!” Andros yelled, summoning a device into his right hand that was similar to his morpher, but slightly different in color.

With a cry of desparation, Andros was suddenly covered in armor similar to his normal Ranger suit, but more muscular. On his back was a large jet pack, which Andros wasted no time in activating.

“Impressive, but it matters little.” Vestrogoth said as Andros launched several volleys of missiles at Vestrogoth.

Explosions rocked the chamber as the room was consumed in a raging inferno.

The Rangers could feel yet more of their power being drained away.

(Vestrogoth’s themesong, One Winged Angel from Final Fantasy Seven, begins to play)

“Did I get him?” Andros said

“Not quite” A familiar voice said right before a black boot slammed into Andros’ chest, sending Andros soaring backwards and slamming into the far wall.

Running forward, Vestrogoth pulled back his left fist and sent it forwards. Andros managed to move enough so that only his left wing was hit, but he knew he would never fly again using the Megabattle armor.

Like a metior slamming into the earth, Vestrogoth’s first impacted the metal wing, causing it to crumple like tinfoil on impact.

Turning, Vestrogoth aimed another punch Andros’ way, one which he wasn’t able to avoid. Andros attempted to dodge Vestrogoth’s punch, but the Nazi’s fist slammed into his left arm. Andros could hear his bones breaking with a sickening crunch as Vestrogoth made impact, but the pain that consumed him afterwards made him forget that horrible sound. Like an all-consuming fire, pain existed where Andros once felt his left arm. Crying out uncontrolably in utter agony, Andros collapsed onto the ground. Never in his carreer as a Ranger, had he ever felt such pain.

Vestrogoth picked up Andros’ broken body without resistance and draged him in front of Alex’ tube.

“You monster..” Kevin said

“You see Alex, this is the true meaning of existence.” Vestrogoth said, dropping Andros’ armored body onto the ground with a loud crunch.

“I pity you Vestrogoth.” Alex said

“So I still hadn’t convinced you eh? Maybe when you see me rip those two” Vestrogoth said, pointing to Karone and Zhane.

“Apart..you will be convinced.” Vestrogoth said, then walked over slowly towards Zhane.

“NO. I won’t let you kill any more of our friends you bastard!” Kevin said, then slammed all of his weight against the side of his tube, despite knowing the pain that would result. Kevin cryed out in pain on impact with the Vibroglass, but regardless, he continued to slam into the glass. Vestrogoth turned his attention towards Kevin.

“Whats this?” Vestrogoth said

Over and over Kevin slammed into the glass. Kevin’s vision blurred, his thoughts no longer were coherant, but nevertheless he continued, until finally the Vibroglass shattered.

“IMPOSSIBLE!” Vestrogoth said with no small amount of surprise.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Karone and Zhane worked frantically to deactivate the power transfer device, but even they paused hearing the cry of pain from the other side of the room.

“Andros!” Karone yelled

“We can’t afford to help him now. Believe me Karone, I know how you feel.” Zhane said

“I know.” Karone said

“There. I managed to reverse the power transfer.” Zhane said

“We don’t have enough time to wait.” Karone said

“I know, that’s why I increased the transfer rate.” Zhane said

“You could kill them!” Karone said

“We will have to risk it..” Zhane said

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Like a wave, green energy poared out of Kevin’s now broken tube and washed over him.

“What is going on!” Vestrogoth said

Kevin’s body glowed with Green energy, and suddenly, his Ranger armor materialized. But the glow did not stop.

“He is megamorphing…the transfer has been reversed. But why only him?” Alex said weakly, as his own body began to glow.

“I won’t allow it, the master race will be born this day!” Vestrogoth screamed, rushing towards Kevin.

But the green glow intensified as Vestrogoth approached, blinding him.

“Green Mystic Ranger! Megamorph Into!" Kevin said

Kevin struck a dynamic battle pose, with the image of an ancient forest behind him as he did so. Suddenly, his form was engulfed by the plants of the forest. A new form began to take shape from the various plants of the forest.

Suddenly, a green armored fist punched its way threw the plants and earth

Kevin's new armor was gold and green. It resembled his normal Ranger armor, except a large Unicorn's horn lie on his new helmut. Kevin had golden shoulder pads instead of the normal green, and an armored green chestplate covered where once was white. Kevin also had gold kneepads. His armor also had a metallic texture to it.

"The Guardian of Honor, the Unicorn Strike Ranger!" Kevin said

“No! Theres no way you could attain that form so soon!” Vestrogoth said
The glow surrounding Kevin did not dissapear with his transformation however..if anything, his body only began to glow brighter.

“Kevin’s powers are still growing stronger. But he is at his maximum…isn’t he?” Jack said, slightly worried.

Vestrogoth charged towards Kevin and aimed a punch at his chest, but Kevin grabbed Vestrogoth’s fist and pulled him over his head, then threw the Nazi commander against the wall.

Stepping forward, Vestrogoth gazed at Kevin’s advancing form in absolute terror.

“Now you feel the terror your victims felt Vestrogoth. Helpless and alone. You have no honor, but worse still, you have no morals. You have been to Hell once Vestrogoth, but this time, I’m sending you back for good.” Kevin said

Regaining his composure, Vestrogoth got back onto his feet and let out a small chuckle.

“Another time perhaps, but not today.”

A black shimmering portal materialed behind Vestrogoth in a flash. Quickly, Vestrogoth stepped backwards into the black vortex and dissapeared.

“Coward.” Kevin said

“Kevin..whats happening to you!” Allison said

“I don’t know..” Kevin said, feeling his body somehow changing.

Kevin noticed Andros, now unmorphed on the ground by Alex’ tube. Walking over, Kevin placed his hand in front of Andros holding it out.

Andros weakly grabbed Kevin’s outstreched hand with his good arm. Kevin swiftly lifted Andros to his feet.

“We owe you our lives. That is a dept of honor we will forever owe you.” Kevin said

“Don’t mention it.” Andros said, trying his best to ignore the agony in his broken arm.

A sudden roar suddenly alerted the Rangers to a new threat on the horizon..

“Something is coming..” Zhane said

“I’ll handle it, you guys head for the bridge. Andros, Zhane, Korone, you can leave now, we will handle things from here.” Kevin said

“I think that would be best, our powers are no match for GOH.” Karone said, looking at Andros with concern.

“I learned that the hard way.” Andros said

“Right is Might!” Justin said

Behind Justin, the familiar image of his Dragon-engraved shield could be seen. Justin placed his armored arms on his chest, and suddenly his armor began to change. His knight Helmut morphed into the familiar sleek Helmut of a Power Ranger, as did the rest of his armor. His chest changed color from red to white, except for the image of a red dragon, which was identical to the Coat-of-Arms displayed on his Shield.

Behind Alex, the familiar image of his Lion engraved shield could be seen. Alex placed his arms on his chest, and suddenly his armor began to change. His face morphed into the familiar sleek helmut of a Power Ranger, as did the rest of him.

Behind Samantha, the familiar image of her Griffin Engraved shield could be seen. Sam placed her arms on her chest, and suddenly she began to change. Her face morphed into the familiar sleek helmut of a Power Ranger, as did the rest of her. Her chest-changed color from yellow to white, except for the image of a Griffin, which was identical to the Coat-of-Arms displayed on her Shield.

Behind Alison, the familiar image of her Phoenix Engraved shield could be seen. Alison placed her arms on her chest, and suddenly she began to change. Her face morphed into the familiar sleek helmut of a Power Ranger, as did the rest of her. Her chest changed color from violet to white, except for the image of a Phoenix, which was identical to the Coat-of-Arms displayed on her Shield.

Behind Jack, the familiar image of his Raven engraved shield could be seen. Jack placed his arms on his chest, and suddenly he began to change. His face morphed into the familiar sleek helmut of a Power Ranger, as did the rest of him. His chest changed color from Blue to white, except for the image of a Raven, which was identical to the Coat-of-Arms displayed on his Shield.

The Mystic Rangers each punched the Vibroglass, which shattered on impact. They then joined Kevin.

“Good luck guys.” Zhane said

“Deka, teleport us now.” Andros said

In a flash, the three space Rangers dissapeared from the room just as the ceiling caved in, crushing the green tubes on the far side of the room.

Sabbaticus growled, seeing his prey, and the Rangers, led by Kevin, each struck dynamic combat poses.

Kevin yelled as his power overflowed, and he felt his body began to change.

Green shield-like chest armor materialed over Kevin’s chest. Green metallic armor materialed on each part of his suit. The white on his suit changed to black, and finally, a shimmering emerald green cape slid down behind Kevin’s back.

“What on earth? Justin said

Unimpressed Sabbaticus charged, and Kevin readied himself for action.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Like some jungle predator, Sabbaticus ran forward.

Kevin leaped into the air.

“Lance of the Unicorn!” Kevin cried, summoning his new weapon into his right hand. In appearance, the lance was emerald green in color. At its tip, the horn of a unicorn was grafted onto the main body of the lance.

Opening its enormious jaws to swallow Kevin, Sabbaticus’s hunger only grew.

Kevin placed his spear forward, holding Sabbaticus’ jaws back with all of his newfound strength. For several seconds, the two combatants struggled, but it wasn’t long before Kevin was flung backwards.

Before he hit the wall, Kevin somehow stopped in midair, then flew forward, pointing his lance forward.

“He can fly?” Allison said in awe.

Sabbaticus moved his head downwards, parrying Kevin’s lance with his left horn. The two weapons clanged toghether like two dueling dragons locked in mortal combat.

But Sabbaticus moved his head from side to side, sending Kevin slamming to the ground.

“He needs our help.” Justin said, stepping forward, suddenly glowing red.

“I never felt this much power..I could take on ten of these guys and win.” Kevin said

“There is no I in team.” Justin said.

Red shield-like chest armor materialed over Justin’s chest. Red metallic armor materialed on each part of his suit. The white on his suit changed to black, and finally, a shimmering ruby red cape slid down behind Justin’s back.

“Dragonheart Sword!” Justin said.

In appearance, the sword’s handle resembled a red dragon with its wings outstretched to either side, and its head facing skyward, as if to breathe fire. However, the main blade of the sword, which was ruby red in color, emerged from the Dragon’s jaws instead of flame.

Justin ran forwards and slashed Sabbaticus in his left front paw, causing the demon to roar in outrage and pain. This gave Kevin time to get his feet back on the ground.

“I think Justin has the right idea guys.” Alex said walking forwards with Excalibur in his right hand.

Golden chestplate armor materialed on Alex’ chest. Gold metallic armor materialed on each part of his suit. The white on his suit changed to black, and finally, a shimmering red cape slid down behind Alex’s back.

Alex leaped into the air and jumped onto Justin’s shoulders, then jumped again and landed on Sabbaticus’ head. Sabbaticus shoke his head violently to get Alex off, but Alex maintained his ground, then he plunged his sword deep into Sabbaticus’ demonic flesh, causing the monster to scream in pain as its foul black blood flowed around the wound.

Kevin struggled against Sabbaticus’ right paw with his lance, using it as a shield. Seeing Kevin struggle, Allison ran forward, and as she did so, her formed changed. Blue shoulder guards materialed, then expanded to cover the top part of her chest armor. The violet on her suit expanded until it covered the white coat of arms completely, and her white gloves and boots changed to violet. Her gold arm and leg bands changed color to black, and the transformation was complete.

“Fire Crossbow of the Phoenix!” Allison yelled as the Crossbow of Fire she had acquired months ago in Peru materialed into her left hand.

The crossbow resembled a bird of prey such as a falcon with red, violet and orangle plumage. Its wings were outstreched to either side, and its face was forever frozen in a battle shriek.

Firing her weapon, Allison sent several fireballs erupting from the mouth of the phoenix slamming into Sabbaticus’ hide just as Alex was pulling his sword out of the demon’s flesh.

Sabbaticus grew angry and his thrashing tossed Alex off of his back.

Samantha walked forward, her form changing as she did so. Gold shoulder guards materialed, then expanded to cover the top part of her chest armor. The yellow on her suit expanded until it covered the white coat of arms completely, and her white gloves and boots changed to yellow. Her gold arm and leg bands changed color to black, and the transformation was complete.

“Griffion Longbow!”

A gleaming golden longbow materialed in Samantha’s hands. If one were to examine the bow up close, they would see many small griffion images carved onto its surface.

Samantha placed her hand on the bow’s string and cocked it backwards, then released. Like a comet her arrows of light striked from the bow and slammed into Sabbaticus’ right eye, blinding him.

“Jack, what are you waiting for?” Samantha said

Jack looked at Samantha quickly then away.

“I don’t feel anything. In fact, I’d swear my powers are alittle weaker than before we were drained.” Jack said

“That’s not good. Stay back.” Samantha said, preparing to fire another arrow.

“I feel weaker…I wonder..” Jack said, looking around the chamber’s metallic walls, ignoring the sounds of battle nearby.

Sure enough, an entire wall full of the green tubes was still intact. The far end of the room opposite Jack’s former prison was covered from the floor to the ceiling with the tiny foot-sized tubes. Jack was reminded of the matrix, where all the millions of humans were grown in tiny vats and grew and lived their entire lives inside. However, the embryos inside, to Jack’s horror, were all staring at him.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………

The small undeveloped eyes all stared intently at Jack. Jack could feel his kinship to them. They were essentually his brothers and sisters, and shared his DNA. Unlike Jack however, all of the embryo’s eyes were jet black in color. Jack didn’t have to think long to know who also had eyes like that.

Bolts of energy erupted from one of the embryos to another. While alone, the Embryos were fairly weak, they still were much stronger psychics than Jack was. But they were not acting alone. Jack knew

“You guys are draining my powers somehow..I can’t let that happen.” Jack said, walking towards the twenty or so remaining Green tubes

He could hear their voices in his mind. They did not speak to him in english, but rather pure thought. It was a universal language, that anyone could understand.

“Don’t harm us brother.”, “We need your power to survive.” “We aren’t your enemy”. Those were the three main things they repeated to him.

His heart beginning to soften, Jack released that they were the only thing he could call a family. He gazed inside their young minds with his own. Not seeing the maliviolence he thought he would sense, Jack only felt trust. It seemed that these clones were not the same as their predessors.

Jack reached out with his mind again, telling them that the ones who had created them all were not to be trusted. He shared the feelings he felt towards GOH, and what they had done to him. It was as if all of the tiny embryos were living the same moments Jack had. The embryo’s response came as one studded with anger towards GOH, and Jack knew that he at last had a family.

“Take my powers…take them all, live my brothers and sisters…LIVE!” Jack said

In a blue whirlwind, Jack’s armor dissapeared, a river of blue energy streamed from his morpher and poared into the twenty remaining clones. As one, the tubes all shattered, Jack shielded his eyes from the falling shards of glass, then looked back. Hovering in front of him, were twenty infants encased in balls of energy.

The clones sent thoughts of affection towards Jack, and he returned it in kind.

“My friends need help. But I have no powers left.” Jack said

“You don’t need your Ranger powers anymore. Your powers are much stronger than you release.” The clones said as one into Jack’s mind.

Jack focused on his morpher, and sensed a tiny drop of his power left. Focusing all of his mind on that tiny drop, Jack forged a connection with the morphing grid. He felt a near infinite amount of energy from the grid, but he knew that it was impossible to take it all, or even a large amount of it. Instead, Jack took only enough to fill his morpher. Merging with the tiny amount he had left, the powers of his morpher were restored, and Jack released for the first time that he was a danger to the entire planet, maybe even the universe. Putting that disturbing thought aside, Jack mentally reconnected his medallion with his morpher. No longer did his morpher contain the mystic energy of the Knights of the Round table. Now it contained the raw power of the morphing grid.

In a flash, a new Ranger suit materialized on Jack. In appearance, it was indentical, only blue, to Justin’s and Kevin’s new suits.

“After I help my friends…what do you guys say we teach GOH the price for trying to play God.” Jack said.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

On the other side of the vast room, the other Mystic Rangers continued to do battle with Sabbaticus. The monster was badly wounded, but never for a second did it relent in its attack.

Justin slammed his sword into Sabbaticus’ side, ducking as the monster attempted to swallow him whole.

Alex slashed his sword at Sabbaticus, but his sword connected with air. Sabbiticus had jumped into the air.

Quickly, the five Rangers ran in all four directions as Sabbiticus fell towards them.

“This thing is taking everything we throw at it.” Justin said, dodging Sabbiticus back right paw when the monster crashed to the ground.

Samantha and Allison continued to pelt Sabbaticus with projectiles, but the monster seemed to be effected by the arrows less and less each time.

Kevin charged forward, aiming his lance for Sabbaticus’ throat. To his surprise though, his lance glanced off the monster’s hide.

“He is becoming immune to our attacks guys. We are only making him stronger!” Kevin said

“Sorry I’m late guys. Had to meet my family first.” Jack said, running up alongside Kevin.

“What are you talking about?” Kevin asked

“We will talk about it later, Mace of the Black Raven!” Jack said

Jack’s weapon was obsidian black in color, and its handle had a raven’s shape engraved on its surface. A long chain connected the spiked ball to the handle.

Swinging his weapon overhead, Jack floated into the air and towards Sabbaticus.

Slamming his weapon into Sabbaticus’ head, the monster was forced to the ground by the impact.

“Ready guys? If we combine our weapons, we can beat him, I know we can.” Justin said

The Rangers flew backwards and landed besides each other, forming a circle with Alex in the center.

Holding their weapons in their hands forward, the Rangers felt the unbreakable bond between them growing as their energies melded toghether.

The Mace of the Black Raven wrapped itself around Kevin’s Lance of the Unicorn, on its own accord. Samantha’s Griffion Bow separated into two parts, then connected to Kevin’s lance on either side. Allison’s Fire Crossbow of the Phoenix perched on top of the Lance, and Justin’s sword connected with the blunt end of the lance.

Finally Excalibur slid out of Alex’ hands and landed on top of Allison’s Crossbow.

The Rangers gripped the combined weapon toghether and pointed it at Sabbaticus, who began to charge forwards at them.

“Mystic Destiny, fire!” The Rangers said as one as energy gathered at the tip of the Unicron lance.

Sabbaticus was mere inches from the Rangers when a rainbow colored blast of energy erupted from the weapon and engulfed Sabbaticus, leaving nothing so much as dust behind.

Lowering the weapon, the Rangers took the time to gather their thoughts and look at each other.

“What happened to us? Our suits? Our powers?” Allison said

“I’m not sure. But I think we were capable of attaining this level all along.” Kevin said

“I think our suits represent the true power of Merlin’s Knights.” Alex said

“You mean we weren’t using our real powers all along?” Samantha said

“No. You were using the morpher’s powers I created. Somehow, when the power transfer was reversed, it must have reawakened the powers of the medallions.” Alex said

“I think I speak for all of us when I saw we go Medival on Nicolae.” Allison said

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Nicolae held his head with his hands. Sensing the Ranger’s powers suddenly spike to such an extent that he couldn’t sense the full depths of it, and received a nasty headache from trying.

“Oh no…No…this can’t be happening!” Nicolae said

“What is the matter master?” Vestrogoth said, walking down the ramp over to his troubled master.

“The Rangers…they not only didn’t lose their powers, but those powers have increased in power at least ten times.” Nicolae said

“That can’t be good.” Vestrogoth said, knowing all too well what Nicolae was talking about

“And you..Vestrogoth what are you doing here, I told you to guard the Rangers!” Nicolae yelled

“I did, but Kevin broke out and almost killed me. The Space Rangers must have done something else when they reversed the transfer.” Vestrogoth said

“I’ll kill you myself unless you stop them, they can’t be allowed to ruin my plans!” Nicolae said desparately.

“You can try Nicolae. But my encounter with the Rangers has taught me one thing.” Vestrogoth said

“And that would be?” Nicolae said, black flames beginning to form around his body.

“You aren’t the god I thought you were.” Vestrogoth said

“I won’t waste my energy on you fool, but I will remember this later Vestrogoth, after I’ve delt with the Rangers.” Nicolae said

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………..

On the bridge of an alien vessel, the an up in coming star of good was rising. The bridge was purple in coloration. Its walls and floor were as violet as amynyst. The control consules with all of their various buttons were green in color, and each had a canine-like blue alien monitoring them. However, one being stood above the others. He wore a black flowing robe, and compassion and the desire for justice to be done shown in his eyes.

Commander Krueger gazed at the large black monolith that was Nicolae’s personal ship from the viewport on the bridge of his own personal ship, the Evening Star.

“Lightspeed Station, this is Krueger. We have located Nicolae’s ship.” Krueger said

On the intercom, Captain Mitchell’s voice responded

“Krueger, we are in your dept. End this once and for all.” Captain Mitchell said

“Understood Mitchell. Remember to consider my idea while I clean things up down here.” Krueger said

“I don’t know if the Admiral will let us rename and reorganize Lightspeed, but I’ll try. Good luck.” Mitchell said

Krueger turned his attention towards Nicolae’s ship once again.

“This is it. All ships, lock weapons on that ship and give it all you got. We have a city to rebuild and that eyesore is in the way.” The canine-like alien said, walking forward.

The various pyramid shaped green vessels of the alien armada converged on Nicolae’s ship and began to open fire with various energy missiles and red laser blasts.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………..

The various bridge crew on Nicolae’s vessel ran back and forth. Some fell to the ground as the ship quaked from the impact of the alien weaponsfire.

“Our hull is on the verge of collapse!” One bridge crewmember, an asian woman with shaved black hair said

“Seems like checkmate to me.” Vestrogoth said

“This is over yet.” Nicolae said, running up the ramp in the center of the bridge.

Ares glared at Nicolae as he abandoned the bridge. Ancient gazed at the alien armada as it slowly approached, continuing to pummel the ship with everything at their disposal.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

The Rangers slowly made their way threw the black corridors of the ship. Slowly, but surely, they made their way towards the bridge. Finally, after over a year of fighting, the end of GOH was in sight.

"Times and Laws" Part 4

Sometimes it is said that life smiles upon you. In one defining moment, everything seemed to go the way it was supposed to. No mistakes, or disappointments, just pure, unabashed thrill of the moment. Such was one of the those moments for the Rangers as they made their way threw the black corridors of the depths of Nicolae’s starship.

The ship was on its last legs, that much was obvious. For over ten minutes since the Ranger’s escaped their imprisonment, the ship shook from what the Rangers could only assume was an assualt upon the ship.

Red alert lights turned the black tunnels red periodiclly. Whatever was attacking the ship, it was surely an emergency for the GOH ship and its crew.

Jack paused to catch his thoughts, causing the other Rangers to turn back at him in confusion.

“Jack why did you stop?” Justin asked

“The bridge is not far from here, comeon lets get going. The sooner GOH is gone the better.” Jack said from behind his blue ranger helmut.

The Rangers then continued running as before, their capes fluttering from the wind produced as they ran.

On the bridge, the various bridgecrew struggled to maintain their duties as all chaos broke lose. Sparks flew periodicly when the ship was struck.

Nicolae stared out the window of the bridge at the essembled alien armada. Narrowing his eyes, Nicolae’s rage grew all the hotter as a large crack began to form on the window’s clear surface.

Ancient, perhaps the only one of the staff on the bridge with a clear idea of what to do in this situation, grabbed Nicolae by the right arm, surprising the would be world dictator and interupting his thoughts of retribution against all his enemies.

“Sir, the bridge is no longer safe. We have to get to the control center.” Ancient said calmly from behind his mask.

Jerking himself away from ancient violently, Nicolae turned towards his underling as red rage enveloped his features.

“Don’t you ever touch me again or I’ll kill you where you stand!” Nicolae spat.

Ancient turned away from his master and shook his head, then walked out of the bridge.

“Trying to leave me behind Ancient? Everyone knows I evacuate the bridge first fool.” Nicolae said, running after his minion.

Vestrogoth crossed his arms and then followed after Nicolae and Ancient. Ares strangely was nowhere to be seen.

Nicolae was first to exit the bridge threw a black iron automatic door inscribed with GOH’s symbol, a hand clutched over the earth. The door was straight up from the ramp in the center of the room, a grim guardian over what for the past few decades had been the command chamber of the most powerful man in the world.

Nicolae was only a few feet on the other side of the door when six multicolored figures ran up to within twelve feet of the dictator.

“Well well well, have a look at this.” Samantha said.

“Trying to abandon ship are we?” Allison said scolding Nicolae with her right pointer finger.

“Rangers? What? What happened to you?” Nicolae said, surprise clearly evident in his features.

“Theres been a change.” Kevin said

“I can tell you this Nicolae, we are now far more powerful than we were before you captured us, and we owe it all to you.” Justin said smugly.

“Get out of my way or I won’t hestatate to kill you.” Nicolae said

“Go ahead and try.” Jack said defiantly

Black flames surrounded Nicolae’s lithe frame.

(Nicolae’s themesong, track ten of Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, begins to play)

“You have no idea what your up against.” Nicolae said

“Neither do you.” Alex said

Vestrogoth paused at the entrance to the bridge door, staring down the hall at Nicolae and the Rangers beyond. Deep in thought as he gazed at the incoming contest of power, Vestrogoth began to think to himself.

((“This should be interesting. I wonder if the Rangers can actually defeat Nicolae with their new power? GOH will likely fall apart without the fool. Everyone thinks he is some kind of god. Won’t they be surprised? The fools.”)) Vestrogoth thought.

“I was hoping you’d say that.” Nicolae said, smiling at Alex

The black flames surrounding the tyrant grew in intensity, and Nicolae’s long black hair stood up straight, rippling as if in the wind.
“Master! No! You can’t use your powers here! You’ll destroy this part of the ship and kill us all.” Ancient said

“You and everyone aboard this ship are expendable. You were only tools in the grand design. Even I am expendable. If I don’t succeed with my mission, lets just say there are fates worse than death.” Nicolae said

“What are you talking about?” Justin asked

Nicolae smiled and laughed at Justin.

“And what makes you think I’d tell you?” Nicolae spat, then extended his hands towards the Rangers, who struck combat poses in preparation for his assault.

“You cannot fight someone who commands the very powers of Hell itself!” Nicolae said, then began muttering an incantation.

“Sorcery?” Jack said in surprise

“I should have known…” Alex said thoughtfully

“Now die Rangers!” Nicolae said, muttering the last indecipherable words of his spell.

Black flames leapt from Nicolae’s outstretched hands and screamed towards the Rangers, sizzling the very ground beneath it by sear proximity to its power.

As it approached the Rangers, the wave of fire took on the shape and likeness of a dragon with flaming red eyes.

“Excalibur!” Alex said, summoning the legendary blade into his right hand.

In one lightning fast motion, Alex pointed his sword towards the incoming wave of hellfire, and at once a blinding beam of white light shot forth from its tip.

The two forces collided and an enormious explosion engulfed the entire hallway, blinding Ranger and GOH alike.

From outside the ship, Krueger and the bridge crew of the Evening Star saw an explosion from the bridge area as black flames and normal orange flames excaped threw the blown open window.

One of the bridge crew, a young blue skined alien of the same race as Krueger himself, eagerly shared his discovery with his captain.

“Sir, there was an enormious explosion from the bridge of the ship. Sensors are picking up morph signitures inside. It’s the Mystic Rangers sir!” The young alien said

“Have the Rangers teleported directly to the bridge. Then have all vessels open fire on the exposed bridge area. Thanks to the Rangers, we finally have a weakness to exploit.” Krueger said, his eyes focused on the tiny bridge with ancipipation.

“At once sir.” The young alien said eagerly.

“Good Liutenant Halloway.” Krueger said, patting the young officer on the back.

Within ten seconds and no more six flashes of colored light materialized six unmorphed and very bruised and battered Mystic Rangers on the floor of the bridge of the Evening Star.

“The Rangers are hurt, send for a med team immediately!” Krueger said rushing towards the Red Mystic Ranger and touching his chest, looking for a heartbeat.

The bridge crew busily carried out their orders as the blue bridge doors opened and two white robe wearing female cat-like aliens emerged and immediately rushed towards the Rangers.

Removing a strange glowing alien device, the two female aliens moved their hands, holding the device, up and down the Rangers one by one.

“Are they?” Krueger said gravely, his eyebrows arching with worry.

“They are alived, but whatever hit them must have been very powerful to deactivate their morphers.” One of the nurses said

“Thank goodness. These children are too young to leave this life.” Krueger said, then looked back over to the still flaming bridge of the ailing GOH flagship.

“Commence all weapons fire on the bridge.” Krueger said

“Aye Aye sir!” All the bridge crew said toghether in a chorus of voices.

As one, the various ships of the alien flotilla powered up their weapons and as one began pounding the exposed bridge with exposed weapons fire, just as a group of medics of various alien species ranging from birdlike to squidlike carried the wounded teens and Alex off the bridge.

Like a domino effect, explosions engulfed the front portion of the battleship, moving quickly backwards until the entire vessel was a smoking hulk which, no longer having engine power, began to fall towards the ruined cityscape below.

As one, the bridgecrew began to cheer victoriously, but Krueger was quick to silence the crew.

“This isn’t over yet. Status report on the Vectors which were heading for the suburbs of the city?” Krueger said

“Sir they are within a mile of the population.” Lieutenant Halloway said, worried.

“Contact Kat, tell her we are needed on the ground.” Krueger said, pulled a golden scarab beetle from a chest pocket in his uniform.

“Teleport me five yards ahead of the Vectors.” Krueger said

“Sir, will you be alright?” Halloway said

“Don’t worry about me son. Focus on your duty.” Krueger said

“Goodluck…father.” The young alien said

In a flash of golden light, Krueger dissapeared from the bridge and rematerialed on the scorched surface of the ruined city of Angel Grove, near a pile of crushed cars, bricks, and trash of various colors.

As one, the army of thousand-strong Vectors, marching single file uninterupted, paused and scanned Krueger. As the red light from their eye scanners went over him, Krueger smiled and clutched his scarab tightly.

“Unseal ancient power!” Krueger said

In an ancient egyptian burial chamber, walls covered in hieroglyphics, sand covering the floor, stood an ancient golden sarphogus bearing a black jackal motif.

Slowly the sarphogus began to open, golden light poaring out of its interior. Finally, when the lid was completely off the sarphogus, a golden armored figure was reveiled. He had a black, canine-like helmut. A golden vest covered his chest. Its arms and legs were black, and his hands were crossed in an x pattern over his chest. Golden arm and legbands covered the midpoint of the figure’s legs and arms, and black boots covered the figure’s feet.

The figure’s visor flashed, and in one lightning fast motion, the figure leapt from the coffin and landed on its feet, then quickly picked itself off the ground and struck a dynamic combat pose in a vaguely egyptian style reminscientant of the poses figures in hieroglyphics often took.

The figure stood in front of the thousands of Vectors fearlessly, motioning for the robots to come forward.

“Unknown Ranger….analyzing data…” The Vectors said as one.

“The name’s Anubis Ranger, remember it.” The figure said, striking a combat pose.

As one, the Vectors opened fire on the new arrival, sending red laser bolts screeching towards the black and gold figure.

With grace and agility, Anubis Ranger leaped over the laser blasts and the explosions they caused.

“Staff of Anubis!” Anubis Ranger said, as a black staff materialed into his right hand.

Placing his staff in the ground, Anubis Ranger stared fearlessly at the Vectors.

“Cease your aggression. It is illogical to fight when you are outnumbered to this extent. We will take you to the Commander.” The Vectors said as one.

“Who said anything about being outnumbered? Army of Anubis! I summon you!” Anubis Ranger said as golden light erupted from the ground and engulfed him.

When the light subsided, about one hundred other Anubis Rangers stood, each armed with the same staff as the orginal.

Without hesitation, the Vectors charged forward, sending red laser blasts careening towards Anubis Ranger.

Walzing threw the blasts like they were nothing, the army of Anubis Rangers strode on forward, pointed their staff weapons at the Vectors, and fired, sending small explosive blasts of golden energy streaking at the Vectors and exploding any hit or nearby.

The army of anubis continued to walk towards the Vector horde, firing blast after staff blast at the GOH robots, which fell one by one to the onslaught of plasma.

Charging threw the smoking battlefield, the Vectors plowed onwards, walking emotionlessly even over the charred and smoking bodies of their slain comrades.

Metal blades unsheathed from the arms of each of the Vectors, as they prepared to enter into melee combat.
Charging forward without fear, the army of anubis slammed into the Vector hordes, and the two opposing armies clashed, blade against staff.

On a of junk that once as the roof of a tall and pristine skyscraper, above the sounds of battle below, a somewhat feline alien gazed on the battle.

She had black hair and a human-like skin complexion, and a white spandex jumpsit that covered her entire body minus her feet, hands and head. Black boots covered her feet and helped her remain her footing on the uneven terrain. She had black hair and feline-like ears on her head.

“Krueger always loves to go at it alone when the odds are stacked against him. Must be a male thing, no matter the species.” Kat said, clutching at a golden scarab in her right hand.

“I’ll wait till his Anubis Army technique wears off, I wouldn’t want to get in his way.” Kat said, sighing.

Inside the Evening Star many feet above the battle…

The room was a sterile white in color, much like the drab hospitals around the planet. Black as pitch rectangular wall panels lined the walls. And over 30 white beds lay in perfect symetry with each other around the room.

On six of those beds, lied the Mystic Rangers…

Stirring, Justin was the first to awaken. Slowly opening his eyes, Justin gathered his strength and sat up in bed, and looked around the room.

“Where am I? He said, then slowly got out of the bed and made his way over to each of his unconscious comrades, checking them one at a time for signs of life.

“They are alive” Justin said, seeing their steady breathing.

“But how did we get here? Last thing I remember was Nicolae sending a jet of black flame towards us.” Justin said

“I see your awake.” A feminine voice said

Justin turned towards his left to see a blue-feathered bird-headed humanoid female alien in a white uniform enter the room from an archway leading to what Justin assumed was a hallway.

“Who are you?” Justin asked

“I’m Hamishoma. Head nurse of the Evening Star, the ship we are on. We teleported you out of GOH’s flagship as it was exploding.

“So we finally beat GOH..that’s great news!” Justin said smiling happily.

“I think its too premature to say that. Besides, GOH and Lightspeed forces are still battling on the ground around the planet. This war is not over yet, but almost.” Hamishoma said in a soft feminine voice.

Justin looked down and saw that he was only wearing his red boxers. Embarrassed, he quickly grabed a blanket off one of the beds and covered himself.

“Wheres my cloths?” Justin asked, his cheeks red.

“You can wear this for the moment.” Hamishoma said, reaching into her right pants pocket and pulling out a small white bag.
Reaching into the bag, she pulled out a tightly folded white cloth, which she then handed to Justin.

“Great, a johnny. So even extraterrestrial hospitals make you where these…” Justin said, sighing.

“We are still running tests on you and your friends. Until we are done we cannot allow you to leave this room. I’m sorry.” Hamishoma said, then walked out of the doorless archway.

When Justin tried to follow, yelling “Hey wait!”, he was stopped dead in his tracks by an invisible forcefield.

“Great, this is getting old.” Justin said, then walked back over to his bed and sat down.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Kat strode towards the ongoing battle, impatient with the time Anubis Ranger was taking battling the Vectors one on one. The Army of Anubis had dissapeared in a flash of gold light a few seconds ago. Only 100 or so Vectors remained out of the one thousand that had existed before the battle began, but even the mighty Anubis Ranger was no match for that many Vectors without being able to use his multiply ability.

“Unseal Ancient Power!” Kat said

In an ancient egyptian burial chamber, walls covered in hieroglyphics, sand covering the floor, stood an ancient golden sarphogus bearing a black lion motif.

Slowly the sarphogus began to open, golden light poaring out of its interior. Finally, when the lid was completely off the sarphogus, a golden armored figure was reveiled. she had a black, feline-like helmut. A golden vest covered her chest. Its arms and legs were black, and her hands were crossed in an x pattern over her chest. Golden arm and legbands covered the midpoint of the figure’s legs and arms, and black boots covered the figure’s feet.

The figure’s visor flashed, and in one lightning fast motion, the figure leapt from the coffin and landed on its feet, then quickly picked itself off the ground and struck a dynamic combat pose in a vaguely egyptian style reminscientant of the poses figures in hieroglyphics often took.

“Sekhmet Ranger? What are you doing here? I can handle this by myself.” Anubis Ranger said

Sekhmet Ranger stood with her hands on her hips and her arms crossed and shook her head at Anubis Ranger.

“Not anymore you can’t. Just shut up and let me help you.” She said

Charging forward, Sekhmet Ranger held her hands out to her side as her fingers elongnated into sharp feline claws.

Sekmet Ranger was met head on by several Vectors which attempted to slash her with their arm blades, but instead, they found themselves slashed in two when Sekhmet Ranger rushed past them with a whoosh of fast moving air.

Twelve or so other Vectors then matched towards her mechanically, and fired lasers from all directions at her in an attempt to pin her down, but Sekhmet Ranger leaped into the air gracefully, causing the Vectors to shoot themselves in the process.

Anubis Ranger shook his head and walked into the fray with his staff in hand, resumbing in melee combat with the remaining Vectors.

Anubis ducked under a slash from one Vector as he approached when it attempted to strike him with its right arm blade, swung his staff around and struck the Vector in the chest. The machine didn’t stand a chance, and collapsed into various mechanical parts, which sparked and shorted out upon hitting the ground.

Back to back, the two egyptian themed Rangers stood, surrounded by the sixty remaining machines.

“I think its time to end this don’t you agree darling?” Sekhmet Ranger said

“Why not?” Anubis Ranger said, shrugging.

Sekmet Ranger then leapted onto Anubis Ranger’s shoulders and then sumersaulted into the air, but promptly fell to the ground near the feet of a Vector.

“My powers are failing again..” Sekmet Ranger said

“They are almost depleted. You better use your turbo key.” Anubis Ranger suggested

swinging her leg around and tripping the Vector onto the ground before it could strike her, Sekmet Ranger then leapt back onto her feet and summoned a white key-like object into her left hand.

“White Racer Turbo Power!” She said as white energy engulfed her.

The black portions of her armor as well as her helmut changed color to white, and Sekmet Ranger stood new and improved in front of the Vectors.

“Bombs away!” White Racer Sekhmet Ranger said, holding her arms above her head as if it surrender. Two bombs materialized in her hands. They were white in color and had gold ankhs inscribed on their surface. Sekhmet Ranger wasted no time, and throw the bombs into the crowd of Vectors quickly converged upon her to the right and to the left. With a couple of flaming explosions, the Vectors converging on her exploded. And only twenty of the robots remained, which Anubis Ranger quickly picked off at a distance with his staff weapon one at a time in quick succession.

Gazing around at the junked pieces of the Vectors, the two alien rangers couldn’t help but laugh.

“They just don’t make mechanical soldiers like they used to.” Sekhmet Ranger said

”Power Down” Anubis Ranger said, after which in a flash of golden light, Krueger stood in his place.

“Come, now that that’s been taken care of, lets get back to the ship and check on the Mystic Rangers.” Krueger said gazing upwards at the sleek starship casting its shadow on him above.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Krueger and Kat walked into the infirmary where all six Mystic Rangers, minus Justin, we laying flat on their backs, unconsious.

Justin turned to see the canine-faced commander.

“You saved our lives…thankyou.” Justin said

“Don’t mention it.” Krueger said, smiling at Justin.

“The others still haven’t woken up yet.” Justin said

“They suffered some light head trauma. Its actually odd your awake, you should be with the others.” Kat said
“Try to remain calm when the ship begins to shake momentarily. We are going to head to the front lines and engage GOH’s ground forces. As soon as you are able, we could use the assistance of the Mystic Zords.” Krueger said

“That could be a problem.” Justin said

“I ment when your friends are awake.” Krueger said

“No its not that. The Mystic Zords were very badly damaged in our fight with Dragonda. They will need some serious repairs before we can take them into battle again.” Justin said

“That’s not good..” Krueger said, frowning.

“We may have to use our Zords Doggy.” Kat said

“Doggy?” Justin said, with a half smirk.

“Its my nickname, Anubis “Doggy” Krueger.” Krueger said

“Nevermind I’m going to go to sleep.” Justin said, laying back down on his white matress.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Somewhere in the ruins of Angel Grove…..

Piles of black debris joined the ash and pieces of concrete that once made up buildings of angel grove. Some of the debris moved, and a human hand burst its way to the surface. In seconds a black haired handsome man wearing the tattered remains of a three-piece suit burst to the surface pushing away rocks and the cracked remains of bricks.

Nicolae breathed heavily, anger burning in his eyes.

“Rangers…you are dead….DO YOU HEAR ME? YOUR ALL DEAD!” Nicolae yelled at the sky.

To Be Continued…

[Zord_Crazy]

That was awesome, GZ!!! Seeing/reading Krueger & Kat in action like that as those Egyptian Rangers was a treat. And seeing glimpse of Nicholae's true power was cool too! Sound sliek there's gonna be one helluva a fight down the road.

[GeddonZord]

Glad you liked it Zordcrazy... :) Phaeton thought Nicolae reminded him of an evil super saiyan. Do you think that comparison is accurate Zordcrazy? :D

[Zord_Crazy]

Yeah, sounds like Nicholae watches himself some "DBZ", hehe!

[GeddonZord]

Wonder where Phaeton and Bushwakka are? They should have responded by now...

[bushwacka666]

Ah feareth ye not, the Wacka of Bushes still lives! Apologies for the delay, I was busy either catching up on Uni work or carrying out plans for world domination. I'll let you decide which...

Anyways, great work as ever GZ. Like Zord_Crazy, I too liked seeing Doggy and Kat in those new roles. Will you be explaining how they got those powers? (Unless of course I missed something earlier on).

This part was left on an interesting cliffhanger as well. I'm looking forward to seeing how Nicolae tries to exact his revenge. He's evil, he's heartless - and I love it! :023:

[GeddonZord]

I love the way you respond BW...

Basically...Doggy and Kat along with a few others discovered an ancient egyptian-like temple on their homeplanet, inside they found five morphers. They used those powers to battle a mysteryious alien evil that attacked their world soon after, likely seeking to claim those powers as its own. In the battle Kat's morpher was badly damaged and most of its power was lost. But she managed to discover the White Racer Turbo powers during a recent space voyage shortly before the alien fleet was gathered to help Lightspeed fight GOH.

[PHAETON]

Sorry about the Delay buddy...Kat and Doggie as the Anubis and Sekhmet/White Turbo Ranger was top notch... Ill be on the look out for the finished product...Keep It comming

[GeddonZord]

Bushwakka: What do you think of the orgin for the Egyptian Rangers?

Phae: Thanks buddy...owe it all to you too...

[GeddonZord]

I actually am working on it. I haven't had much time to write this week unfortunately, as I have been busy with other projects but I promise you within a day or two you will see the next installment. Till then check out the old Mystic Destiny thread for the two bonus episodes I did awile ago... :)

[Silver-Ranger]

actually I have read the old thread and I thought it was really good.

[GeddonZord]

Even the two bonus episodes I did on the very end? Question: Who was Led Thunda?

[Silver-Ranger]

a goh monster who was posing as a rock musician that at first jack had to take him on by himself!

[GeddonZord]

:) Good man... :)

And now I present the first half of the newest episode:

"Premonitions of Doom"

Lightspeed Station…

The round white room was abuzz with activity. People of many cultures and langauges swarmed the room. Clear windows that reveiled the blackness of space surrounded the room, reminding everyone inside that they were not on earth.

The various dignitaries from around the planet breathed a sigh of relief when Captain Mitchell arrived and delivered the news.

“The battle is over, GOH’s assualt on the earth is officially over. Our forces wiped out the last of their ground vehicles last night.”

Mitchell, wearing his finest dress uniform, was quickly greeted by the swarm of dignitaries, who had been quarantined during all the long hours the assualt went on.

“Japan owes you much.” One black haired asian man wearing a three-piece suit said.

“You owe me nothing, you should thank the brave men and women who piloted our fighters, not me.” Mitchell said

Trying his best to retain his composer when the international crowd and the world press swarmed around him, Captain Mitchell struggled to answer each and every question the crowd put to him.

Earth…

The morning mist obscured the sky, floating lazily between the various trees surrounding the small cottage. A blacked-haired young cauasian man of about 18 or 19 years of age walked out of the open red door and onto the black welcome mat, reaching his arms up and stretching.

“I see your up.” A dark skinned girl with curly dark brown hair and a yellow sweatshirt said, walking towards the young man from the green of the forest.

“Oh, good morning Sam.” Justin said, looking up at the clear blue sky.

“I still can’t believe its finally over. Nicolae is gone, and Vestrogoth too. All of GOH’s Vectors were destroyed yesterday by Krueger. Its hard to believe.” Justin said

“Theres still GOH’s fabled Antartic base. I haven’t heard much from Alex about that in awile, so I’ll assume its not much.” Samantha said

Justin walked over to Samantha and gave her a warm hug.

“Wow…Justin I didn’t think it was like that.” Samantha said, blushing.

“I’m just glad I didn’t lose you guys.” Justin said

Kevin walked out of the cottage. He wore a green bathrobe and his hair looked like he had just walked out of mental institution.

“Any of you guys seen Jack since last night?” Kevin said somewhat groggily.

“After Alex had Krueger bring us here, we all went to sleep. Jack must have left sometime during the night.” Justin said

“Why though?” Kevin asked

“Maybe he wanted to be alone. He just discovered he has a family, however weird it is. He has a lot to think about.” Samantha said

“That’s what worries me. Jack’s ‘family’ is geneticlly engineered to replace humanity remember? I find it hard to believe they somehow rebelled against their genetic programing.” Justin said

“Well theres a lot more to people than just their genetics Justin.” Samantha said

“Yeah….I guess.” Justin said

Inside the cottage, Allison sat looking out a window into the forest outside. She wore a purple nightgown and sat with her knees on a blue blanket-covered matress.

Alex walked in, wearing a white apron.

“Hey Allison, breakfast is almost done.” Alex said with a smile.

“I’m not hungry.” Allison said

“I know…I miss Jeremy too. He was my friend too. So much happened yesterday, its so hard to keep track of it all, but, you shouldn’t starve yourself either. When we get back to the station I will do all in my power to locate Jeremy, wherever he is now.” Alex said

“He just dissapeared Alex. After we defeated Dragonda, nothing was left.” Allison said

“I know. We will get to the bottom of it Allison, mark my words. Comeon, eggs are almost done.” Alex said

Somewhere else in the forest…

A blonde young boy, about 16 or 17 years of age, ran threw the forest. The only cloths on his back were a ripped t-shirt and blue boxer shorts. Fear gripped the boy’s features.

His thoughts were constantly bombarded by horrible images of death and carnage. Close behind him were three glowing balls of red light.

Jack tripped over a fallen log and landed face-first in the mud. Flipping himself over quickly, the boy gazed upwards in fear at the three maliviolet beings floating above him.

“Please…stop” The boy said, tears running down his face.

But stop the three did not, as they continued to bombard the boy’s mind with horrible imagery in ever increasing amounts, slowly erroding the boy’s sanity.

“But we won’t stop…not until you are one of us as you are ment to be Jack.” The mental voices of the three tormentors whispered into Jack’s mind.

Jack pushed himself off the ground, trying his best to ignore, with little success, the images constantly flooding his mind.

Running with all the speed he could muster, with his three tormentors close behind him, Jack went further into the forest. When a particularlly horrid image struck his mind unexpectidly, Jack lost his footing and fell.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………

Somewhere in another forgotten corner of Angel Grove, was a cave. The cave had a ominious black flag with a red symbol emblazoned on it hanging on the far wall.

In the center of the cave, a man stood cloaked in the shadows of the dimly lit room.

In a flash of orange, blue, and red, three other figures materalized in the room.

Two were clearly feminine. One had orange armor covering her entire body, except for her face, which was asian in shape. Claws grew out of the woman’s left and right hands, which were also covered in armor.

The other woman was clearly asian. She had long flowing black hair and red, samurai-style armor.

The third being, a male, had sky blue colored armor which covered his entire body. A blue mask covered his features.

“Greetings Titaneron, Steela, Namimuki. I am pleased to see that you are all still alive.” The figure in the shadows said.

The three bowed in reverance for the figure in the shadows.

“Master, we live only to bring your vision to reality.” Namimuki, the woman in red, said.

“Yes I know. Rise.” The figure in shadow said.

The three rose off the ground as one.

Another figure walked out of the shadows. He had a brown trenchcoat, brown hair, and sunglasses. The bottom of the man’s face was completely covered by a black scarf.

“Sir, our position is succure. Lightspeed’s sensors cannot detect us here.” The man said

“Agent Ancient, long time no see.” Titaneron, the man in blue armor said.

Ancient ignored Titaneron and faded again into the shadows.

“I cannot take the risk of sending any of you in harms way. With the loss of my ship and Vestrogoth’s betrayel, all of you are no longer expendable.” The figure in the shadows said

“So how will we procede?” Namimuki asked

“I sensed the Blue Ranger alone, running from something. It will be best to watch and wait. I think a wild card has entered the game.” The figure cloaked in shadows said.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Jack awakened. Opening his eyes, Jack saw only darkness all around him. In fright, he looked around for the three that had been tormenting him. With relief, he realized that they were nowhere to be seen.

Jack pushed himself off the muddy ground and looked around as his eyes ajusted to the darkness of the place he was in.

The walls were bricked, that much Jack could make out. On the sides of the room, were pipes.

Judging from his surroundings, Jack realized he had stumbled across the remains of an old sewer.

But a sewer in the middle of the woods?

Curiousity consumed him, and Jack walked slowly forward, passing threw several other mud covered rooms until finally reaching a cave. In the center of the cave, was a black orb lying silently on the ground. Jack could sense the orb was dormant, but it had incredible powers.

“I’ve got to tell the others about this…whatever it is.” Jack said, turning around.

Jack ran back where he came, and looked upwards to see a long tunnel above him.

“Only problem is how do I get out of here?” Jack said

“You don’t” Three voices said toghether.

In fright, Jack turned his head. What he saw made his heart sink.

Sure enough, three balls of red light hovered motionlessly a few feet away.

“What do you want with me! I thought you were family..but I was wrong.” Jack said in frustration

“You were naïve to think that we weren’t what GOH created us to be. Your mind will be molded. You will be one of us as you should be.” The three young, but evil minds said, not bothering to mask their true natures from Jack.

“NO! I won’t become a monster! Right is Might!” Jack said

In dispair, Jack realized his suit failed to materialize.

“Not again! Whats wrong with my powers!” Jack said backing away as the three orbs began to hover slowly towards him.

“Hope!” Jack said

Jack struck a dynamic combat pose surrounded by blackness all around. In the distance, a blue raven flew towards him. The semi-transperant bird flew towards Jack and into him in a blinding flash of blue light.

When the light dimmed, standing proudly, the Blue Mystic Ranger stood at attention.

“If you will not join us, you will die.” The three lights said, hovering closer and closer toghether until they joined toghether into one larger red ball.

The red ball sprouted arms and legs, and a feral face for a chest, forever frozen in a snarl. The monster had two yellow glowing eyes which stared directly at Jack.

“Who, what are you?” Jack said

“I am Exploda.” The monster spat in a gruff voice

“What happened to the others?” Jack said

“They are I, I am them. We are as one. This is the power of unity. Pity you will never live to see it.” Exploda said, then charged towards Jack.

In a display of agility, Jack leapt over Exploda as it charged forward, and landed gracefully behind the monster, which quickly turned around.

“Your foolish heroics will not save you.” Exploda said, then breathed a cone of fire from his mouth at Jack, who shielded himself with his arms crossed, only to be sent flying backwards as sparks erupted from his body from the impact.

Jack flipped in midair and flew forward, flipping in midair again to position his legs towards Exploda. Exploda attempted to slam Jack with another jet of flames, but this time Jack was ready for him, and spun threw them, executing a spinning tornado kick to the monster’s face.

This time Exploda was the one to go flying backwards into a cave wall.

Using that to his advantage, Jack looked upwards and saw the opening above he had fallen threw, and jumped into the air, flying up and out of the hidden tunnel into the forest above.

Jack landed on the forest floor and broke into a run. As he ran, he raised his left arm to the sky and yelled “Stead Cycle!” and his blue horse-headed motorcycle materialed alongside him already speeding forwards.

Leaping onto his ride, Jack pressed down the exceleration and sped forward.

Meanwhile back in the cave, Exploda walked towards the strange orb. Its every footstep leaving molten imprints in the ground as it walked.

“What is this..I sense great power..” Exploda said, its eyes widening.

“The master will wish to hear about this. But first I must destroy the Blue Ranger.” Exploda said, then dissapeared in a fiery tornado of ash and fire.

Jack rode onward threw the forest. He had still not found anything familiar that might lead him back to the cottage.

“How could this forest be so darn big?”

The trees also looked strange, Jack thought. Like no kind of tree Jack had ever seen. They had green leaves, but black bark.

Thinking this strange but not much else, Jack rode onwards on the dusty path.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………..

Kevin and Allison walked threw the crisp green forest. Sometimes the stirring of one of the small forest creatures made small noises amidst the wood.

The two mostly ignored everything else and focused on each other.

“I’m worried about Jack.” Allison finally said, shattering the silence.

“So am I. I think he is in trouble.” Kevin said

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Jack rode onwards, finally losing his patience.

Getting off his cycle, Jack reached his arm to the sky and shouted

“I need Raven Mystic Zord Power! Now!”

Swooping down from the sky, came the black stylized form of the giant mechanical raven that was the Raven Mystic Zord.

Cawing as Ravens and their smaller relative, the crow are long to do, the zord beat its wings above the forest, hovering above Jack. Its form was black as midnight, but somehow still had a tinge of blue to it. The raven’s chest was a metallic silver, as was its neck.

Leaping into the sky, Jack landed ontop of his zord’s head and leaped inside the cockpit.

The cockpit was blue and red in color, with various controls glowing various colors. Behind Jack’s chair, at the back of the cockpit, was the stylized image of a shield baring a raven insignia. The shield was half blue and have white, split diangnally to the left down the middle. The black styled raven lie in the shield’s center.

Sitting down in his seat, Jack took the zord high into the sky and looked downwards for signs of the cottage clearing.

To his horror however, he saw the forest stretch onwards in all directions, seemingly forever..

“Where am I?” Jack said in horror.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………..

Kevin and Samantha called out desparately, calling Jack’s name. But no matter how often or how loud they called, nobody answered them.

“All right, now I’m officially worried.” Allison said

“Come on, we better get Alex. I think Nicolae may have something to do with this.” Kevin said, turning around and running back towards the cottage.

“Wait, Kevin I see something strange ahead..” Allison said

Kevin turned to see a strange ripple in the air in the forest path ahead of them.

“What is that?” Kevin said, walking over to the ripple, which being the impulsive kid that he was, he proceded to touch, only to yank his hand back over he received a slight shock.

“Whatever it is, its electrifying.” Kevin said with a smile.

“How can you joke now of all times?” Allison asked

Kevin shrugged.

“Do you think that Jack went inside?” Allison asked

“I think he may have. I’m going inside, you get the others.” Kevin said, rushing shoulder-first into the ripple.

“Wait KEVIN!” Allison yelled, only to get no response as Kevin vanished in the portal.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

Kevin landed facefirst on the ground, and quickly picked himself up. Around him, the forest had changed somehow. The bark of the trees was black, and a perpetual gloom seemed to engulf the forest.

A moan behind him caused Kevin to turn his head.

To his surprise, a large tree with a frightening green glowing face lumbered towards him on its roots. Reaching its branches towards him, Kevin knew this tree wasn’t the kind content to sit in the sun to get its meals..

Breaking into a run, Kevin bolted in the opposite direction of the tree, only in horror, he saw several more of the living trees lumbering towards him from that direction as well.

“All right that’s it, you guys are going after the wrong guy..” Kevin said, reaching into his shirt.

Pulling out his medallion, Kevin clutched it tightly.

A green glow encircled Jack.

In fear, the tree creatures recoiled, backing away from Kevin.

“That’s weird. You guys don’t like green or something? Well whatever, just stay out of my way and nobody gets hurt ok?” Kevin said, charging into the forest, now uninterupted by the tree creatures.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………

In desparation, Jack commanded his zord to fly at ever-increasing speeds. The Raven quickly became a black streak in the blue sky.

“This forest can’t possibly go on forever!” Jack said, a cold sweat poaring down his face beneath his helmut.

After seemingly for an eternity, the forest ended, reveiling an large white expanse of clouds.

“Oh thank GOD!” Jack said in relief.

Looking around, Jack’s relief quickly turned again to fear.

The Raven soared on forwards. As the sea of clouds parted, Jack’s fear turned to awe as he beheld the sight around him.

Below, was a farm-laced countryside. A large village, no city lay at the center of the fields, and at its center was a large stone castle. In the blue sky ahead of him, was not one, but two twin suns.

“Well I’m officially not in kansas anymore…” Jack said

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………..

Exploda punched threw the bark of yet another of the black tree creatures. The entire forest seemed to be turning against him, and the inhuman monster wasn’t terribly happy with his situation at all.

“There is no way this can possibly be Earth!” Exploda yelled, his body glowing red with anger as he trudged forward threw the forest.

In surprise as Exploda ran forwards, he saw a green muscle-shirt wearing asian teenager running in his direction. The boy also seemed surprised to see Exploda.

“The Green Ranger? I was hoping to catch up with the Blue Ranger and destroy him, but you will make a good temporary substitute.” Exploda said

“You! You must have kidnapped Jack and created this place.” Kevin said, striking a combat pose.

Exploda placed his hands on his belly-face and began to laugh. It was a grating sound that made Kevin flinch.

“You think I made this place? That’s rich. No you fool. I am a creature of many talents but creating giant man-eating forests is sadly not one of them.” Exploda said

“If you didn’t make this place, than where are we?” Kevin said, somewhat worried.

“How should I
