CALL TO ARMS PT 2
DISCLAIMER
Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. I only own the plot, subplots, and characters you don't recognize. And I just realized that I forgot to put Curtis in with the other hostages in the last fic, but he is there.
Goldar's sword came crashing down, slicing Jason's wrist as it landed and causing the teen to cry out in pain from the hard impact as well as the pierced skin. Pain! Pain! Pain! his mind screamed as blood began to flow, joining the blood that had already poured from his right shoulder. Goldar raised his sword again and summoning his strength, Jason managed to scramble away, jumping when the sword clanged on the ground. Come on! Get up! he urged himself. He gritted his teeth, placed his hands on the floor and stood up, ignoring the pressure, he put on his arm as he stood up. Then, he hurried towards another row. Okay, okay. Think. You don't have your powers, you're hurt, how can you gain the upper hand? he thought. He looked at the mirrors. He had to find the way out. Wait a minute. Mirrors, reflections…that's it! Jason thought to himself. He peered out from the row.
"Hey Goldar! Come and get me!" he dared. With a roar, the griffin gave chase and Jason kept the creature at bay by continually disappearing on him. Goldar's eyes darkened. So the Red Ranger wanted to toy with him? Forget destroying him slow! He's dead! he decided. He charged into one of the rows. Seeing Jason, he summoned energy from his sword and thrust it at the Ranger. Jason quickly jumped out of the way. Goldar's eyes widened when his attacked bounced off of the mirrors and headed for him. The griffin tried to flee the assault, but wasn't fast enough. Jason sighed in relief when he heard Goldar's roar of pain and anguish, which was followed by a loud explosion. He took a risk and peeked around the corner. In the place Goldar had been standing was a pile of ashes and his sword. Yes! It worked! he thought in relief as he walked up to the remains, cradling his wrist. Now all he had to do was get out of this place. He picked up the sword. Now let's see…where's the exit? he wondered. Panting, he began to retrace his steps. Meanwhile, Dark Heart had found his attack unhindered as the other Rangers fought Rita's other minions. The lion laughed darkly as electricity enveloped by fire covered his sword. With a roar, he thrust the flame at the Ferris Wheel. Yes. Empress will be pleased with the amount of destruction that I'm causing, he thought to himself. And best of all, no one was able to stop him. At the park's entrance, Rita smirked at her captives. Soon the Power Rangers will fall and the world will be mine, she thought to herself. Life was grand. Justin looked at the others. They all look as freaked as I feel, he thought to himself.
"Justin, what if they didn't make it? What if that witch's minions won?" Hilary asked softly.
"Doubt it. If they had, they'd be here gloating. Jason and the others are still fighting," Justin replied in the same tone.
"They've never let us down before. We have to believe that they'll rescue us," Angela added in a murmur. Please be careful, Zack. I don't want to lose you, she thought to herself. While this was going on, Zack and Billy had made it all the way to an attraction known as The Pitch Maze. Funky title, Zack thought to himself as he and Billy went in. And yet it works, the Black Ranger's thought continued as he struggled to see through the darkness.
"You think anyone's in here?" Zack whispered to Billy who shrugged. Then, they heard muffled thumping. Without a word, the two followed the sound. As they went further into the attraction, the thumping became louder and the Black and Blue Rangers soon became aware of voices. Then, there was a sudden flash of light.
"It's Rito!" Billy gasped quietly and they hurried towards the monster. Once they were close enough, Billy let out a kick, hitting the skeleton.
"Hey! What gives!" Rito yelled in outrage. Who had snuck up behind him?
"Who's here?" Rocky wondered.
"It's me and Zack," Billy responded.
"All right," Aisha sighed in relief. Maybe now we can gain the upper hand, she thought.
"Two more of you, huh? Well, that won't save you," Rito sneered as he brandished his sword. These stupid teenagers have no clue who they're messing with, he thought to himself. He was going to destroy them all. Then, he lunged at them, resulting in pained cries as the Rangers landed against a wall.
"Guys, we gotta work together!" Tommy shouted.
"Right," the others agreed.
"Gather your Dino Energy," Tommy instructed and they all reached out towards one another. Instantly brilliant lights of green, white, black, blue, gold, purple, and silver appeared, illuminating the attraction. Seconds later, the Rangers found themselves morphed. Instantly, the all pulled out their weapons, put them together, and fired at Rito. Rito began to teleport away, but wasn't fast enough and with a terrible cry, exploded into a thousand pieces. Yes! One down! the Gold Ranger thought in relief. Now all they had to do was destroy Goldar, Scorpina, Rita, and whatever monster Rita had sent down. Then, the Rangers carefully made their way out of the maze.
"Come on, let's find the others," the Green and White Ranger declared and they all headed out.
