DISCLAIMER
Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney. I am incorporating a relationship from Zyuranger and I only subplots. Oh, and I have to apologize, I've been calling Goldar a simian and other related terms, when in fact, the American suit for the first season was supposed to be the counterpart of Griffizor.
As "The Wedding March" played, Rita walked down the row to where Zedd was.
"Here comes the Queen, ain't that a scream? No one could ever be quite as mean," she sang. Then, she pushed her way through two of Zedd's Putties.
"She looks lovely," Bones commented. She laughed as she came to stand beside Zedd.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to join these two gargoyles in matrimony. If there's any creature present who knows why these two should not be wed, please speak now," Finster said. When no one objected, he went on. "Do you Lord Zedd, Master of all evil, take Empress Rita Repulsa to be your bride?" He looked at her and she laughed.
"I do!"
"And do you Empress Rita-"
"Yes!" Then at the surprised looks, "I mean, 'I do'."
"Uh, who has the rings?" Goldar held up his hand and gave the rings to the couple. Rita made a show of putting her ring on and then handed Zedd's ring to him.
"Here you go, Zeddikins. Put this on."
"By the powers invested in me by Empress Rita and Lord Zedd, I now pronounce you husband and fright-uh, wife." Scorpina bit back a grin at the slip. "You may kiss the bride." Rita made a face.
"Do I have to?" Her minions nodded and she quickly kissed her new husband. Rita's minions cheered. It wouldn't be long now. Back at the Command Center, Alpha walked around. Oh, it sure has been quiet around here without that jabber-jaw Zordon, he thought to himself. Just then, the lights flashed. "WHOA! Something big must be happening on the moon! I bet Empress Rita and Zedd are cooking up something really nasty!" He laughed. On the moon, there was a vast display of fireworks as Rita, Zedd, and their minions danced. Goldar watched as Scorpina danced with Dramole. I don't believe it! How can she dance with that disgusting thing! he wondered. Rita began to sing and everyone picked up the song.
"You cut a mean rug, Zeddy!"
"Thank you, my dear." Goldar walked up, pushed the Dramole aside, and then spun Scorpina around.
"What do you think you're doing!"
"Dancing with my wife as we celebrate our Empress' return." Rita laughed as she saw Scorpina glare at Goldar. That should be fun, she thought to herself. Yes, she was still angry with the griffin for turning on her, however, if he proved that his switch to her side was real and that he could be trusted, she'd spare the warrior when getting rid of Zedd and his minions.
"How is it that I never noticed your beauty before?" Rita laughed again, but didn't answer. Things were going so well, and she could hardly wait until it was time to assert her control. Meanwhile, though still angry, Scorpina hadn't really put up much of a fight when Goldar had started dancing with her. It felt good to be celebrating Empress' return with her husband. Hearing their Empress' laugh, Goldar and Scorpina turned to her, and lowered their heads respectfully, and then turned to each other and shared terrible grins. Things had worked out perfectly. The first part of Rita's plan to regain control was complete.
