TRAKEENA'S REVENGE

AUTHOR'S NOTE/DISCLAIMER

This is my idea for the crossover and takes place after "The Cobra Strikes" and deals with the background I created for Mike and Leo in the fics "Bad Dream", "Protective Magna", and "Harsh Words". Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. As I said in my fic "Harsh Words", I don't really like Kai, but I'll try to keep him in character. Starts off with the Lost Galaxy cast, but will segue into Lightspeed. Some of the plot will be the same as the actual ep, but I'm going to try to make it my own as well. I'm not sure what kind of powers the Ghouls were supposed to have, so I'm making some stuff up.

Leo walked around the colony of Terra Venture.

"Hey, what's wrong? You look bummed," a voice noted. Leo turned to see Kai.

"I miss it. I miss helping people," he admitted.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. It was fun being a Ranger," the other boy agreed. Just then, darkness loomed in the sky.

"What in the galaxy?" Leo wondered.

"That can't be good," Kai stated. At the Command Post, Mike frowned.

"Corbett, what's going on?" Commander Stanton questioned.

"Uh…unclear, Sir. Hold on," Mike responded as he ran his fingers over the keyboard. Then, "Sir! It's a massive energy reading but-it's-it's impossible!"

"And why is that?"

"Because the energy matches Trakeena." The man stared at his officer.

"Trakeena?" he repeated. "Are you sure?"

"That's what the read outs are saying, but she was destroyed." Mike frowned. He didn't like this. He had to get the others. He stood up. "Excuse me, Sir. I need to go." Before Commander Stanton could respond, Mike hurried out of the room in search for the other Galaxy Rangers. Leo, Maya, Kai, Kendrix, Damon, Karone, and Mike all met up.

"What's going on?" Maya wondered.

"Our computers are saying the energy we found matches Trakeena's life-force," Mike answered.

"But she was destroyed!" Karone protested.

"I know," Mike said grimly.

"I'm not sure what's going on, but I think we should suit up," Damon suggested.

"Good idea," Leo agreed. Karone looked at Kendrix.

"Good luck," she told her.

"Karone, you're not coming?" the other girl asked.

"Only one of us can wield the power of the Pink Quasar Saber," she reminded. "And it should be you." The two girls hugged. Then, Leo, Kendrix, Damon, Maya, and Kai headed for the Astro Megaship. Mike sighed. He wished he was going with them. Almost as if he had been heard, his communicator went off.

"Yo Mike, you comin' or what?" Damon asked. Mike stared at Karone, who laughed.

"Go! Just because you don't have any powers, doesn't mean you're not one of them!" she told him.

"On my way," Mike said, and hurried off. As soon as he got on board, they took off. They went through the wormhole to Mirinoi, got the Sabers, morphed, and hurried back to the Astro Megaship. On another space ship, Trakeena smirked.

"They all thought that they got rid of me! Well, I'll make them pay for ruining my beauty! Especially that annoying Red Ranger!" Then, she gave the command to head for Earth. The creatures with her nodded and did as they were told. Once they had landed on Earth, Trakeena set up shop in a warehouse. She smirked. That didn't take long at all. Being an alien certainly has its advantages, she thought. The man she had shrunk and placed in the life-sucker shouted at her, banging on the green prison. She laughed. Suddenly, she heard approaching footsteps.

"Ghouls, get them!" Trakeena shrieked. The Ghouls ran outside.

"What are those?" the Pink Galaxy Ranger asked.

"I don't know. But I know how we're going to take care of them," the Red Galaxy Ranger replied. With that, they all began to fight the creatures. Mike groaned as he was karate chopped in the chest. Okay, take it easy, Mike. Remember, you don't have any powers, he reminded himself as he dodged another attack. He wouldn't do his brother or their friends any good if he got himself killed. He groaned again as he was hit and he fell on his knees. One of the creatures grabbed him and Mike gasped as he felt energy flow out of him. No. Gotta…gotta get free, he thought. He couldn't-he couldn't let this happen. He moaned and then struggled to stand. Come on, Mike. Get up! he coached himself. He threw the being off of him and continued to fight. The Red Galaxy Ranger struck down many of the creatures as they attacked. He turned around and-was suddenly face-to-face with an older man with dark hair and brown eyes.

"What?" he gasped quietly.

"What do you think you're doing, you stupid little brat?" the man hissed. The Red Galaxy Ranger froze and his sword clattered to the ground. Hearing the sound, Mike turned around as he continued to fight.

"Leo?" he asked, seeing his brother just standing seemingly frozen. He frowned. What was wrong with him? Why would he freeze in a fight? Then, he saw a familiar face. Oh, dang, he thought. Shape-shifters. They're shape-shifters, he realized. The man threw a punch at the Red Galaxy Ranger, who just flinched in fear. Then, with a gasp, he merely deflected the oncoming blows, not bothering to lash out with any of his own attacks.

"Leo, that's not him!" he shouted. "It's not him! Fight, dang it!" Hearing the shouting, the other Rangers turned just in time to see their leader get knocked down and demorph.

"LEO!" Maya exclaimed. Mike grunted and pushed his way through the Ghouls as he saw the creature impersonating their father kick him.

"No. Please," Leo moaned. He groaned as the attacks came again. Then, his father grabbed his wrist and the boy moaned as he felt something being pulled out of him. Finally making his way through the melee, Mike jumped through the air and kicked the man back.

"Well, well, well. Mikey," he grinned.

"You're not him. He's still in jail," came the response. I don't blame Leo for being freaked though, he thought to himself. After all, he had gone from fighting strange creatures to suddenly facing their father. He probably would've reacted the same way himself.

"Now Mikey, do you really think it's that simple? I told you I'd be back," the man stated. Mike stood in front of Leo protectively as their father was led out of the courtroom.

"I'll be back, Mikey. And then we can be a family again," he said.

"You're never getting near us again. I'll see to it, old man," the boy growled. Mike shook his head to clear it. Mind readers. These things are also mind readers, he realized. That was just great. Shape-shifters who could read minds. That was just dandy. Then, he let out another yell and kicked him back. The creature posing as their father roared and produced a whip out of thin air. Oh, that's not good, Mike thought. The whip came flying through the air, causing Leo to flinch as he scrambled backwards. Mike merely caught the weapon and tossed the creature over his shoulder. Suddenly, he was grabbed from behind. As it started to drain his energy, he hit his attacker with an elbow and Leo finally seemed to wake up and he grabbed his Saber, stood up, and resumed fighting.

"Mike! Leo! Get help!" Kai shouted. The two continued to fight and then finally managed to break free from the group. Leo started to fall to the ground, but Mike quickly caught him and lifted him into his arms.

"Easy, Little Brother. I gotcha," he murmured soothingly, and then ran off. He had to-he had to get help. Leo was pretty hurt. He needed medical attention. While all of this was going on, Dana, Joel, Kelsey, Chad, and Ryan were riding in the Rescue Rover, which was being driven by Carter.

"Man, I know we have to worry about Bansheera, but I'm really glad things are quiet right now," Kelsey commented.

"Yeah, I know what you mean," Joel grinned.

"We'll be ready," Chad assured.

"Especially since we have Ryan back," Dana grinned.

"Hey, it's great to be back," Ryan stated. "I hated not being able to help," he continued.

"I don't doubt it," Joel said softly. Dana chuckled. Then, she noticed two people in the road, both appearing to be extremely beat up.

"Carter, look out!" Carter took his foot off the gas and the Rescue Rover slowed to a stop. A man with black hair and hazel eyes was in the road holding someone in his arms.

"Hey, are you all right?" Dana asked in concern as she and the others exited the vehicle.

"Help…please…my brother," the man panted. Carter took the younger boy in his arms and the man collapsed on the ground.
