Chapter One: 5,000 Years Later...
Bansheera watched as Darkonda led what was left of her forces into the temple. She sighed as she heard Impus begin to cry, and Jinxer try to console him. What a disgusting thing... I hate him!
Over the years, she had Jinxer analyze Impus and try and figure out what exactly he was. Jinxer had finally discovered after extensive analysis that Impus had the DNA of both Bansheera and Maligore. The crew had asked how that was possible, and she lied to them by saying she had given Maligore the task of creating a powerful Demon and this must have been what Maligore had created, being given life by Michael's Resurrection Card. With the knowledge she had, though, that Impus was her son from a different timeline, she had come up with a little theory that made sense to her: in that timeline, Maligore had not been destroyed (for she did not know that Maligore had not been destroyed but only sealed by Gerlit) by the Gokaigers but continued on as her faithful servant. Eventually, she could imagine some sort of romance budding between them and they creating an evil union of husband and wife, spawning the hideous creature known as Impus.
Since he was not really hers, but belonging to a different version of her, Bansheera felt hate for the being. She found out that for some reason Impus would not grow without her infusing some of her special power into him to cause him to grow up. Finding that out, she decided to keep him around as a threat to Diabolico, to egg him on to keep performing well in her decrepit empire. The threat of a being with both Maligore and Bansheera's base powers was enough a threat to Diabolico that it worked, and he was a loyal servant to Bansheera. Loki(D) was naturally wrapped up in that package, being the eternal best friend to Diabolico. The main henchman often had his main duty be to carry Bansheera around. She had yet to recover from Michael's attack that deprived her of her lower body. She figured it had something to do with the White Energy the Ethereal King had in his sword that prevented a complete healing of the attack, which quite bothered her and annoyed Diabolico to no end. Many times, he felt as if he was nothing more than a glorified chauffeur.
Jinxer had grown very close to Impus through the time he had studying the anomaly that was an infant Demon. He felt a special connection to it and decided to be its "nanny", constantly taking care of the infant and acting as a surrogate parent. Outside of his "responsibilities" with Impus, Jinxer was also in charge of Bansheera's Demon Monsters. Over the years, Dark Specter had been able to all but wipe out Bansheera's empire, making Project White Genesis nothing more than a pipe dream for her. To become more stealth-like, to hide from the forces of the universe wanting to hunt her down, she had gone back to her tactics that she had while she had slowly begun her planning for the downfall of the Morphing Masters: Jinxer placed all Demons she could find into Demon Cards, and she would only release a Demon when it was absolutely necessary.
Vypra had proven herself loyal, more loyal than the other Demons outside of the three mentioned previously to this, and had been lucky enough to also not spend her life trapped in one of Jinxer's cards. She had grown more and more accustomed over the years with Ayame Ubi's constant traps and attempts to regain control of her body. For the most part, she acted normally and had stopped going catatonic during an attack, but could not quite get a handle over the body. She had considered from time to time getting a new host, then using it to squash the mortal Ayame Ubi out of spite, but every time it eventually boiled down to pride. She did not want to admit to herself, and even worse yet to Queen Bansheera, that she had let a measly Human get the best of her. She vowed to herself that she would eventually destroy the lingering will that was Ayame Ubi.
As they continued on, they found themselves in a large room with what appeared to be hieroglyphs written on the walls. Bansheera looked around, "So this is where Gosei hid the Greatest Treasure, Darkonda?"
Darkonda turned to her and bowed. "I am tired of Dark Specter and his regime. When I caught word that Gosei and the Liarians had slipped the artifact in here, I knew I could not deny you your chance to rise up and destroy him."
"So where is it, Darkonda!?" Diabolico asked the Demon turned mercenary. Darkonda had garnered a reputation over the years of being a gun for hire, and although he did not trust him, Bansheera still had some vague memories of what the Greatest Treasure was, and wanted to harness what she remembered was a vast power source.
"In that corner, oh revered Diabolico." Darkonda said, bowing and stepping to the side.
"Wait! Why are you trusting us with this and not yourself!?" Loki(D) demanded.
Darkonda laughed. "Your Queen asked the same question when I first contacted her. I'm more of a 'get it done' kind of man, and not a planner. I figured I'd get myself destroyed if I tried to work for myself and get things done myself. I need direction... and I could not think of anyone better suited to lead than her."
Her pride was peaked at the compliment, some of her reasoning lost over the years being a Demon. "Yes... And I will bring forth a new age for Demons!"
Diabolico nodded slowly. "Fine, Darkonda. But I have my eye on you."
I hope so... Darkonda said. Keep your eye on me. It'll distract you from what's coming...
As they stepped into the corner, Vypra was the first to notice the irregularity. "Oh, no! My Queeeen! It's a trap! A Demon Trap!"
Diabolico spun around. "Traitor!"
Darkonda bowed. "That's what they tend to call me."
"I will destroy you once I get out of here!" Bansheera yelled in a rage.
Darkonda laughed. "I highly doubt that. You see... Like I said, I'm more of the type to take orders than to organize things."
As he said that, a beam of White Energy appeared in the room. From out of a portal, Castiel and the Sorcerer of the Sands walked out. Castiel looked to Darkonda and nodded. "You may go."
Darkonda laughed. "I appreciate doing business with you." As his vortex appeared to teleport him out of the room, he thought about how he had been caught recently by the Ethereals. He thought about how they had been ready to destroy him until he said he would, in return for his freedom, help them trap Bansheera.
As he vanished, the Sorcerer of the Sands looked at Bansheera. "You have caused a lot of pain over the years, Bansheera. We are here to make sure you will cause no more."
"People have tried to destroy me for millions of years! You will fail just like everyone else!" Bansheera threatened, still enraged about letting herself be duped by Darkonda.
Castiel nodded. "Yes, we have seen that. So, instead of risking it, we are going to send you somewhere where there is no return."
The Sorcerer of the Sands pointed at a tomb in the room. Magic shot out of his hand. It mixed with White Energy that erupted from Castiel's hand. As that occurred, Castiel recited an incantation.
"What are you doing!?" Bansheera demanded as Impus began crying.
"We are sending you to the Abyss of Evil. To the Shadow World..." Castiel answered. D had explained to him that through his research they had come to a point that they were able to identify that Monsters actually didhave an Afterlife, albeit a different one than those who were not Monsters. He had illustrated to Castiel, as the King Ethereal remembered upon mentioning the Shadow World, that so far they had found a place for Nighloks within the Afterlife, and a place that baffled D's research team that they had come to know as the Shadow World. To this realm was what Castiel decided to send Bansheera and her crew.
"Noo! We'll be back, Castiel! You'll see!" Bansheera screamed in anger.
Castiel pursed his lips. If only I had not lost the Demon Blade, I would be able to finish her here and now...He thought in agony as he remembered how he had made another trip to the Tribunal of Magic, hoping to get them to give him another. They told him they felt it would create an imbalance for the Magic Grid and told him they would not comply.
The Sorcerer of the Sands watched in satisfaction as Bansheera's crew became Demon Clouds before being sucked into the coffin. He then watched as the tomb's lid was placed atop it and a magical lock appeared on it. Turning to Castiel, the Sorcerer asked him, "What now? What if someone comes down here and opens the lid? Wouldn't that open up a gate from the Shadow World and let everything from it spill out?"
Castiel shook his head. "The way the spell works is that this tomb is linked to those spirits on whom the spell was cast, in this case Bansheera's group. "
"Why don't we just destroy the tomb, then?" The Sorcerer asked, itching to Earth Bend the tomb out of existence.
Castiel shook his head. "The tomb in and of itself is the key to the spell. If it is destroyed, there will be nothing anchoring them to the Shadow World. Unfortunately, it cannot be helped. That is the way the spell works. It needs a physical conduit to allow it to work."
The Sorcerer eyed it. "Then we must create a great shield to protect this temple from ever being found."
"Agreed." Castiel said. As they began to discuss their plans to create a spell that would deviate people from their course, to help them not run into the temple by mistake, or to stop villains from finding it and trying to excavate the tomb to release Bansheera, they walked into a portal conjured up by Castiel. Disappearing into the portal, a figure stepped out of the shadows. She was unseen and unfelt by those in the room, due to her nature. She had wandered the universe for eons, studying and learning what the new place had to offer and coming to terms with the lack of emotion she had for her past.
The blonde woman, who was looking very familiar to the Future: Omega Ranger, looked at the tomb. She nodded slowly, her bright eyes hauntingly piercing. "Bansheera... You took away my life, but gave me a new one. I will rule over the universe and as a tribute to my former life, you will be the pawn I will use to make this happen. Then, I will have the Dark One for myself and create more like me. Then the universe will know me, Xelleb, as their true queen."
. . .
The Future: Omega Ranger, SPD Agent Sam, pulled a Memory Sphere out of the canvas-like bag. He sighed as he did, thinking back on everything which had happened to him up to that point. How someone had appeared in SPD HQ using his very same power set and had attacked. He had been in the Hall of Legends at the time, a pocket dimension where SPD and Time Force kept archives of events throughout history Time Force had recorded. He remembered his frustration at finding out he was locked in the Hall of Legends, unable to escape and help his friends fight against the impostor attacking his base... his home.
He had discovered through a hologram left to him by Supreme Commander Anubis Cruger that he was to be locked in the Hall of Legends until he archived all of historical data found within the confines of the Hall of Legends. He did not know why, and was growing increasingly frustrated with the things he had learned that was going on back on Earth from his only connection to the outside world: SPD agent and highly intelligent Cyborg, Sophie. The Fake Future: Omega Ranger had not only seemingly conquered Newtech City, but had also created an immensely powerful shield blocking nearly all communication with Earth to the outside universe.
Throughout the course of watching several events in history, including the fall of the Morphing Masters and the rise of prominent villains such as Lothor, Dark Specter, Rita Repulsa, and Lord Zedd, Sam had come across information leading him to the discovery of a hidden room in the Hall of Legends: the Inner Sanctum. In it lived an ancient being with a complex history known as the Alpha Ranger. With the help of this powerful being who lived in the midst of both the Morphing and Anti-Morphing Grids, Sam was shown events not previously recorded by Time Force, of his universe's first ever Morphing Masters and how they had come to be. After foiling a multiverse threatening plot by a universe hopping villain known as Lothor, the Morphing Masters had become the premier group in the universe in the fight for all things pure and good.
From there, Sam had gained an ability from the Alpha Ranger, giving him powers to perceive things in his archived footage he could not had seen earlier, such as Spirits of those who had passed and had not gone to the Afterlife. That ability was called his Third Eye. A further talent granted to Sam with the Third Eye was the capacity to read certain orbs left behind in the Hall of Legends known as Memory Spheres. The Alpha Ranger, Auron, had shown Sam where the Spheres were and told him they would show him things about history which he had never known before...
Focusing on his Third Eye ability as he held the Sphere, Sam saw the orb shoot a beam into the Chrono Work Station. Suddenly, an image appeared before him on its holographic "monitor".
"What is this?" Sophie asked, using her tech abilities to see through the cameras Time Force had installed into the Hall.
Future: Omega Ranger began typing as his visored eyes were glued to the images. "It's the Hall of Legends..." He then typed in the date his Third Eye gave him for the file:
1993 AD
. . .
Sam watched as The Guardian, demorphed but wrapped up in his special robes that protected him from the catabolizing effects of the Hall of Legends, sat on a large stone within the Inner Sanctum. Sam's Third Eye seemed to tell him the image he was seeing was eons ago, yet that made no sense... was only a half century in the past from Omega (who resided in the year 2050).
Thinking about it, Omega Ranger realized it was because although it was technically 1993, the events he was watching had occurred long ago, if one were to look at the sequence of events from a linear point of view. The Guardian was alive in the previous timeline, known simply as Timeline A, around the time of their 90s, before the horrible events Sam had learned of that had led to Timeline A being erased forever and replaced by the Timeline he had originally branched from, Timeline B.
In essence, The Guardian had lived through 1993 before he time traveled ten thousand years into the past to prevent the destruction of the entire multiverse. From the universe's perspective 1993 had never happened, but it had for The Guardian. Although, again - for the universe, it would be approximately the year 8,000 BC but for The Guardian the events of "the future", his time, was in his past and was a part of his actual existence.
"That was a depressing defeat, Auron..." The Guardian remarked.
The voice of the Alpha Ranger, Auron, rang through the room. "Yes, it was. Ultimecia is fighting back with a vengeance. There is only so much Zordon can do to stop her."
"Whoa, okay! Stop right there!" Future: Omega Ranger said in frustration, pausing the images flashing before him.
"Wait, what is it?" Sophie asked, confused. She had more and more stopped focusing on breaking the firewall trapping Sam in the Hall of Legends and more and more had become engrossed with the story of the Power Rangers' history.
"The Guardian told Zordon when they first met that in the original timeline... Zordon had fallen during the Final Siege when Master Vile had used the Orb of Doom on Onyx and had caused Master Vile to succeed. Guardian said that Zordon, Burai, Dulcea, Delphine, Orion, and Gosei had all been destroyed during the Final Siege along with Master Vile, Estro as the Fake Gold Ranger, and Rito Revolto. That's what caused Ultimecia to gain her full power."
"Maybe this happened before the Final Siege?" Sophie asked.
Omega shook his head. "No, because The Guardian was created many centuries after the Final Siege. Zordon should be dead by now... but Guardain just said that Zordon is currently fighting against Ultimecia..."
Sophie hesitated before finally suggesting, "Perhaps he lied to you?"
Future: Omega Ranger did not answer that. He could not believe that his former mentor had lied to Zordon. And although that may have been a lie to Zordon, in some way Omega felt like Guardian had lied to him.
Sighing, he resumed the footage.
As it began to play, Omega watched as The Guardian nodded. "Zordon is a good leader, but he is only mortal. The United Alliance does not have the manpower to take Ultimecia down. And I can only be out of the Hall for so long before I put myself at risk. I mean, if Ultimecia were to capture me, then all would be lost. She would have the Hall and the final Power Egg."
Alpha Ranger's voice seemed heavy. "Is there not anything else we can do? I abhor Ultimecia and her Demons."
"I know, Auron, I know. I promise you I will bring her down, Auron. I will complete your work. Somehow... I just wish I could use the remaining Power Egg." Guardian said, looking off into the distance of the Hall of Legends' Inner Sanctum.
Alpha Ranger sighed. "Then let's do it."
Guardian regretted saying it as soon as he had. He thought about how he and Alpha Ranger had been warned by the voice that had emanated from the first Power Egg that if they used the second one, that an adverse reaction would happen throughout the universe that would sever the universe from its Universal Morphing Grid. Although tempting, they decided that other evils would eventually rise even after Ultimecia's destruction. That would mean they would be taking a great force for good away from the universe, the Morphing Masters, and also spiralling Auron into the Nothingness, severing him from the universe as well.
"No, I should not have suggested it. I was wrong. We need the Morphing Grid. The Morphing Masters, Power Rangers like the Triforian Ranger, those from KO-35, the Magna Defender... they are all very much needed. I should not have been so selfish." The Guardian said.
"Yes, the Power Rangers have been a great force for good throughout the universe, but in the end your power has been the one that has seemed to give Ultimecia the most headaches." Alpha Ranger observed.
Guardian nodded. "That's why I am doing all I can to help the cause. I will ensure Ultimecia will not come to power."
As he said this, the green sky began pulsating blue.
"The alarm..." Alpha Ranger said, feeling the pulses from the Hall's Trizyrium Crystal permeate the skies of the Inner Sanctum. "It seems to be... Ultimecia. She is attacking Earth."
The Guardian nodded, standing up. "Here's to hoping we can keep the sanctity of Earth. I won't let her take it like she just took Aquitar."
"May the Power protect you." Alpha Ranger said as Guardian stepped out of the Inner Sanctum.
Guardian was on the familiar platform at the top of the Hall of Legends foyer, where the portals were. Concentrating, Guardian yelled: "Hand of Time: Advance!"
The power of the Trizyrium Crystals enveloped him, creating his powerful Ranger suit. In a similar fashion as Omega Ranger, Guardian leapt from the platform and began falling to the floor. Some differences in the room in that time from the present was that Future: Omega Ranger noticed all of the archways that served as portal entries were closed, not active. He also noticed as Guardian planted his landing that there were no wires everywhere, a sign of the lack of Time Force's presence in the Hall of Legends. Although it was 1993, it was actually not sixty years in the past but thousands of years in the past, since Omega knew at some point the Guardian had time traveled to the time when Zordon and Burai were being considered to take the place of the fallen App. Technically, it was not sixty years in the past, but approximately 10,000 years in the past.
Moving into the space that would thousands of years from that point become the house of The Power Ranger Archives, the Guardian in his uniform that curiously looked like a Time Force Ranger suit stood in the center of the room. Focusing, he opened up a blue vortex that Omega had come to learn was a time portal. He watched as the Guardian slid into it, flying through it to land on Earth, back in a realm of time.
"Nice to see you!" Meledon Ranger yelled, leaping through the air on Earth. His suit was slightly different from the one Omega was used to. The belt buckle did not have the Roman numerals for thirty, representing the thirty systems within the United Alliance. Focusing, he was able to feel that the Roman numerals he had, which counted up to be thirty five, actually signified the number of planets in the Karovan System. The badge he wore on his chest was also different than the way he received while in Team Victory, but one also signifying the thirty five planets in the Karovan System.
Guardian shot a blast of Trizyrium Energy out of a hand and nodded as something looking like a hybrid between a Batling and a Putty Patroller exploded from the blast. "Let's ensure Earth is safe."
As he ran about, battling the beasts appearing from seemingly out of nowhere, the Space Rangers flew in, all sporting their mega mode save the Silver Ranger, blasting Monsters from their Galaxy Gliders.
Magna Defender suddenly appeared beside the Guardian. He grunted and pointed up at the moon. "Look, Guardian... It's starting..."
Guardian looked up, but was already sure of what he would see based on the sudden appearances of odd monsters. He looked up at the moon as it began to glow with an odd red light. At the nucleus of the redness was an eerie blue light, almost looking like an eye. He grunted in anger as he saw a red tornado form from the moon and begin to descend to Earth. He knew Magna Defender was right. He knew that the same thing which had attacked many other planets under Ultimecia's reign was finally happening on Earth: the Lunar Cry, some sort of magical summoning that opened up a portal to an unknown realm, where Monsters seemed to come from.
Meledon Ranger breathed in deeply as he saw the vortex pierce through the atmosphere and descend past the clouds. He knew what would come next, but it was hard for him every time. As the tornado hit the ground, a beam of White Energy punctured the ground right next to it. Flying out of it was the woman he had once known as his wife, Trinity.
Thoughts of torment rushed through his head, as it was everytime he saw her. He remembered how, at one point, Ultimecia had commenced something she had called the Holy War on Earth. It culminated with the Guardian being able to drive Ultimecia away, but not before she single handedly destroyed the Alpha Demon Beelzebub and his brother, the King Ethereals Michael. In fact, Zordon had come to learn that Ultimecia had directed the entire event, helping Beelzebub and Michael unbeknownst to them from behind the scenes. In the wake of the destruction, she had taken Trinity for herself as her new herald.
White Energy pulsated throughout Ethereal Trinity's very being. Laughing, she pointed to the red tornado. "In the name of my mistress, Ultimecia, I commence this Lunar Cry!"
Hordes of Monsters, Demons, Ghouls, Zombies, Hybrids, Gargoyles, Nighloks, Ghosts, and many, many more abominable beasts flooded out of the red tornado, a red mist flowing out with them. As the mist hit the ground, all forms of vegetation began to decay upon contact with the deadly, poisonous gas. Like a harbinger of destruction, it led the way for the Monsters to attack.
Guardian yelled. "So, Ultimecia has finally gotten the courage to attack the Earth itself, huh!? We'll teach her for attacking the heart of the United Alliance! Attack!"
Kamen Rider: Decade, otherwise known as Prince Dex from the destroyed Edenoi, placed a Rider Card into his Decade Morpher. "For all those who have fallen by the hand of Ultimecia!"
Standing beside him was Count Dregon, in his Imperial Armor. "For my brother, Kamen! For my father, Lexian!" Charging, both he and his nephew rushed forward to attack the Monsters who were ready to destroy Earth.
With a shout of Victory, the ship that had once belonged to Team Victory in the timeline that Future: Omega Ranger had known called Ragnarok descended toward the tornado. From within the ship, the Alliance Rangers leapt out, shooting blast after blast at the beasts under their feet as they landed in the midst of the chaos.
"Evil makes me angry!" Ninjor cried out, leaping off a white cloud and morphing into his Ultra Ninja, or Samurai, mode. He began slashing at each of the Monsters, in the hope like all others on the scene, that they could stop the beasts from gaining much ground in their realm. As he did this, Sentinel Knight appeared wielding Excelsior. This version of Sentinel Knight did not have the full power of the Corona Aurora since Ultimecia had been able to collect its jewels many years prior and combine them with the Zeo Crystal and the Orb of Doom to make the Extreme Crystal. Although not very powerful, the man who had once been known as Tidus did all he could to defend the innocent, as was always his credo.
In the midst of the chaos, a man in a black hood walked forward with a broad sword in hand, coming from seemingly out of nowhere. As Monsters descended on him, he cut them down with ease. Taking off the hood the man known in times past as Killian, also Auric the Conqueror, slashed through the hordes of Monsters using every last ounce of power he had. With every slash, his hatred for the Demon he felt that he had helped create, Ultimecia, was on his mind.
"Good to see you, Auric." Magna Defender said as he stabbed a Rinshi/Tenga Hybrid in the chest. "Let us plunge our blades into the heart of this madness."
Killian nodded, determined. "My pleasure, mate. For Zika."
Magna Defender closed a fist. "For Zika." He thought about his son, who had just recently fallen along with the Aquitian Rangers defending Aquitar.
At that, Koragg the Knight Wolf rushed onto the scene, followed shortly behind by a golden armor clad Power Ranger called the Solaris Knight. Koragg shot a blast of Purple Morphing at a group of indescribable Monsters while Solaris Knight shot a blast from his sword that incinerated another batch of beasts.
"When will the others from your realm join us?" Koragg asked.
Solaris Knight shook his head. "They are doing all they can to keep themselves safe from Ultimecia. They will not be coming."
"Shame. We could've used the Mystic Mother, or the Gatekeeper, or the Snow Prince..." Koragg said as he chopped down a beast that looked like a mixture of Eye Guy and a Dragon.
Solaris Knight nodded. "I know! I know! Please! We need to think of our people as well!"
"Of course. I should understand cowardice, shouldn't I!?" Koragg yelled in anger as he chopped off the head of a massive spider beast.
"Father! Please!" Gosei yelled as he emerged from a portal. "We have no time for this. Now let us focus on saving Earth."
Koragg nodded. "Good to see you, my son. Are you ready?"
Gosei breathed in calmly. "I summon the powers of the Greatest Treasure in the Universe! Majestic Ranger!"
Future: Omega Ranger was very curious about the paradox he had just witnessed. From his understanding, if anyone used the Greatest Treasure they would be given great power, yet they would erase all Rangers attached to them from existence. Focusing his Third Eye, he could peer a bit into this new Ranger's thoughts. It seemed that in this timeline, Zordon and Gosei had been very diligent in their studies of the Greatest Treasure in the Universe and had discovered a specific device that would allow one to junction themselves into the force field of Greater Powers protecting the Greatest Treasure. This junction allowed Gosei to tap into the Greatest Treasure without actually using it, a sort of mathematical "loophole" was what he had called it. Gosei had been the one to use the powers since Zordon had already been picked by the Tribunal of Magic to be their Meledon Ranger.
As Majestic Ranger battled alongside his father, the Knight Wolf, more and more Monsters flooded the area. Appearing in an orb of light, a man jumped out of the light. Although he was bald, he was easily recognizable: Orion, the former Morphing Master. It appeared as if in this timeline he had not been destroyed by Novact/Darkonda.
Orion focused and yelled, "Power of Light: Activate!" The familiar armor appeared on his body, as well as the enhanced crossguard on his sword's hilt. He proceeded to rush through those who stood before him, hoping to help defend his family.
Meanwhile, Meledon Ranger fell to his knee, exhausted. As he did, he was kicked in the stomach by a beast Omega had some trouble recognizing... that was until it opened its mouth.
"Ah, the mighty Zordon!" This beefed up version of Goldar cried out ((author's note: same design used for Neo Grifforzer from Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters)). "I will now have the pleasure of destroying you with my mighty blade! Ah-hahaha!"
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" The voice of Burai could be heard saying as a Green Morphing blast hit Neo Goldar.
Meledon Ranger lifted himself up as he saw a new version of the Green Ranger ran to his side, the Wild Sword in hand. "Thank you, Burai."
Ultra Green Ranger nodded. "Not a problem, Zordon. Now let's-oof!"
The Ultra Green Ranger fell to his back in pain as a black blast hit him hard. Spinning around, Meledon Ranger filled with rage as he saw Amaradon Ranger walk slowly toward him, Ethereal Trinity flying behind him and blasting Monsters away from his path. "Hello, Zordon. Good to see you again."
"Meledon Conversion: Speed Force!" Meledon Ranger yelled.
"Amaradon Conversion: Anti-Speed Force!" Amaradon Ranger screamed as he sprinted forward to attack his lifelong rival. A mighty shockwave erupted from their meeting. Ultra Green Ranger streaked away as the explosion occurred, but only to find Trinity on his tail, shooting blast after blast after her target.
As this occurred, a vortex opened up in front of the Mega Black Space Ranger. Turning around, he gasped as a fearful beast walked out. "It's Shadowtide!"
The former Darkonda laughed. "Yes... I thought I'd make an appearance here. Yah!" A black and purple blast erupted from his eyes. It hit the Mega Black Ranger quite hard, slamming him into a crowd of what appeared to be carnivorous plants that had planted themselves from the dimension that had been opened up by the Lunar Cry. He screamed in pain as he felt their fangs begin to puncture his suit into his flesh.
Meanwhile, the Guardian leapt over a rotting corpse like zombie of what looked like a massive dog and shot a Trizyrium Blast at Ultra Goldar, causing him to fall into a horde of Monsters that begin attack him. He was then grabbed from behind by many red colored Tenga Warriors before freeing himself and blasting them away. As he did this, a feeling of dread fell over him. It was a feeling he had only felt at certain occasions, but feeling it there, in the midst of one of the worst Lunar Cry events he had ever experienced, caused his very spirit to ache.
Looking up, Guardian trembled in fear as he saw, descending from the red colored clouds in a surreal sky was the Dark Fortress.
"Ultimecia..." Guardian said. She would seldom make personal appearances at conquests, so he knew this meant something to her.
As he staggered back, being punched by Ultimecia's premier Ranger, Amaradon, Meledon grabbed his stomach before yelling, "Ultimecia is here! Let's make sure she doesn't have anything to celebrate today! Fight with all your might, United Alliance!"
Magna Defender decapitated a large lizard before gripping his sword tightly. "Have her come down here! I will personally chop off her head and place it on my mantle! I will avenge my people..."
Suddenly, a massive beam of Black Energy shot out from the Dark Fortress. Before anyone could react, what no one thought would happen, happened. From out of the beam floated out the worst nightmare any of them could have imagined. The being who had at one point been the worst Witch from the Nathadian universe. The being who had betrayed her mentor, Lothor, and had joined up with the Alpha Demon, Beelzebub. The being who had betrayed Beelzebub to become the Queen of Demons, changing her name to Bansheera. The being who had launched a massive attack against the United Alliance, destroying the oldest organization fighting for justice the universe had ever known. The being who had succeeded in obtaining the Zeo Crystal, the jewels of the Corona Aurora, and the Orb of Doom. The being who had combined them together to create one of the most powerful artifacts in the multiverse, known as the Extreme Crystal. The being who had come to be known as Ultimecia.
Ultimecia laughed as she saw the chaos before her. She felt some sort of pleasure coming from the destruction. Almost as if the raw carnage fueled her. "Hello, United Alliance. It has been quite some time since I have been able to meet with you. I hope you'll understand. I have been very busy planning what I will do with the Greatest Treasure in the Universe. And with the hub of the United Alliance gone, I suppose I will be unopposed. Haha... Earth, this is your last stand. Prepare for your ultimate destruction!"
