Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. I only own the subplots.

"So, how do we battle the Vampirus monster?" Tommy asked.

"Each breed of Vampirus monster is different, which means that the way you battle them differs with each one. Fortunately, the green breed of the Vampirus monsters is only moderately difficult to defeat," Alpha said.

"Alpha, no offense, but could you cut to the chase?" Kimberly requested.

"The main way to kill any Vampirus monster is to pierce it through the heart. However, that won't be easy as they are known to be very cunning and very fast, as well as having the ability to immobilize you with merely a wave of a hand," Alpha responded.

"Yikes," Kimberly said.

"Further more, they can erase your memories," Alpha continued.

"Which means we'll have to keep our guards up," Jason stressed.

"Yeah," Tommy nodded. Then, "It's morphin' time! Tigerzord!"

"Drago!"

"Stega!"

"Brachio!"

"Mastodon!"

"Pterodactyl!"

"Triceratops!"

"Saber-toothed Tiger!"

"Tyrannosaurus!" Once the Rangers were morphed, they were in the downtown section of Angel Grove, which was where the Vampirus monster was. The Vampirus snarled in delight. He could smell the blood pumping in these teens. He just had to pick two to bite, one noticed, and one for them to discover. Seeing the glint in its eyes, the Rangers clumped together. They weren't show what this thing had planned, but they weren't about to let it put the thought into motion. The Vampirus charged at them and they pulled out their weapons and struck the monster with them. It lashed out at the Rangers, knocking them back. They tried to attack again, but were immobilized by a wave of his hand, which also summoned lightning. The lighting came again along with hard rain that that made it hard to see. In the Command Center, Alpha and Zordon watched in concern.

"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi! The Vampirus monster is able to control the elements!" the robot exclaimed. Zordon frowned.

"I had no idea that this breed of Vampirus had that power at its disposal," he stated. The Vampirus monsters grabbed one of the Rangers and nipped at the neck, breaking the cloth. The Ranger moaned as they felt the fangs sink into their neck. Vampirus placed a finger on the wound, making it disappear.

"Let's not give things away, just yet, huh?" he whispered in their ear and with a snap of his fingers, the rain and lightning disappeared.

"What the-? What'd he do?" they asked. With a laugh, the vampire lunged at them and knocked them down with lightning-fast speed. He grabbed the Gold Ranger and bit hard. He screamed.

"ROCKY!" the Silver and Purple Rangers brought out their weapons and struck the monster with it. Vampirus screamed and disappeared.

"Rangers, report to the Command Center at once," Zordon instructed, and the Rangers did as they were told.

"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi! We saw the whole thing on the globe!" Alpha cried.

"So, what exactly did he do to us?" Jason wondered.

"Yeah, there was this blinding light and-" Aisha's voice trailed off.

"I'm sorry, Rangers. Evidently this particular Vampirus monster is able to control the elements, a fact that I was not aware of," Zordon answered as Alpha tended to Rocky's wound. As he did so, Rocky's face contorted and his front teeth grew longer. He groaned and pushed the robot back.

"Get back! I don't want to hurt you!" he warned, his eyes shining a bright red.

"What's the antidote?" Adam wondered as his friend hissed and snarled.

"Yeah, we can't just leave him like this," Aisha added.

"We've already proved that we can't fight against him, so now what?" Zack wondered. Then, Rocky hissed and started for Aisha only to have Adam shove him back and Billy hurriedly put him in a transparent force field.

"Let me out of here, Rangers," Rocky snarled. No! I don't want to hurt you! he thought to himself. He groaned and grabbed his head.

"He's trying to fight it," Adam realized.

"Zordon, what do we do?" Aisha asked.

"The antidote can only be found on the creature's home planet of Gamma Tri 7 and is light years away," Zordon replied.

"So that's it? We just leave him like this?" Tommy asked.

"Guys, we can't give up. We will figure out a way to stop thing and get the antidote. We just have to have faith," Jason stated.

"Jason, I would advise you to get back to the Angel Grove Police Department before you are missed. As for the rest of you, return to the youth center. Alpha and I will see if we can't retrieve the antidote," Zordon said. Jason and the others nodded and teleported out. Alpha immediately punched the coordinates into the computer. Oh, worry, worry, worry. I hope this works, he thought to himself. Inside the force field, Rocky snarled and hissed, trying to break free to no avail.
