p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""My name is Rothimus. Remember it, for it will be the last thing you ever think!" And with that, the creature spread its arms and transformed into a nebulous gas, floating away contrary to the wind./p

p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"The three trapped Rangers and the horde of zombies were in shock and awe over what they had just witnessed. Star was the first to snap out of it, and he shuffled over to his sword, which one of the zombies had previously taken from him. They cut his ropes easily, and he silently freed his comrades./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""Thank goodness for that," whispered Log. "My legs are killing me."/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""Ditto. You guys ready?" said Iron, holding up his morpher./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""Born ready," Star replied. The three stood in formation, before thrusting their arms out and crying, "Gamemode: Ranger!", pushing the buttons and leaping into the air./p

p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"emStar landed in an abandoned mineshaft. He ran forward, holding his sword, and leapt into a ravine. Diamond blue energy swirled around him, which transformed into a diamond suit./em/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"emHe stuck his sword into the ground as he landed and his blue gong fastened to his back. The smirk on his face was concealed by the materialization of his helmet, which resembled a diamond block, and its visor was shaped like a diamond blade./em/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""emResilience of the Diamond!" Star shouted, assuming a fighting stance with his sword. "Cyan Pixel Ranger!"/em/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"emLog landed on a mesa plateau and started legging it. She eventually front-flipped over the edge, as a lime energy accumulated around her and became a suit resembling the skin of a creeper./em/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"emShe landed gracefully, as a green gong latched onto her. She smiled as her helmet, which looked like a creeper's head, appeared around her own./em/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""emFerocity of the Creeper!" Log yelled, posing elegantly. "Green Pixel Ranger!"/em/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"emIron landed in a mushroom biome and sprinted. He eventually tumbled off the island as a red energy surrounded him and changed into a red suit that looked like a mooshroom./em/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"emHe landed in the water as his maroon gong locked onto him. His resolute face was shielded from the sea by his helmet, whose visor was shaped like a mushroom./em/p

p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""Let's do this!" Iron cried, as the three separated and fought the horde./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"Iron himself charged into the zombies, knocking many of them into the gorge. He shook his hands out of habit, and metallic mushrooms appeared. He stared at them in awe before flinging one of them into a zombie's head, piercing its helmet and its brain./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""Awesome! Mushroom shurikens!" he cried, before letting all Nether loose./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"Log's kicking was only improved by the transformation, and whilst the zombies were faster than usual, they were not nearly fast enough to take her down. She shook her hand and spawned two balls that she mistook for creeper eggs, throwing them into the horde./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"When both of them exploded on contact and took out the zombie horde, however, she realised she had access to grenades. One mini fist pump, and she went back to killing zombies./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""HIYA!"/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"Star's diamond sword seemed even sharper and lighter after he morphed, and he wielded it skilfully. A zombie lunged at him, and he only had time to block it, grabbing both ends of the sword./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"The zombie fell backwards but the sword split into two. Two diamond daggers./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""WOOHOO!" he roared at the top of his lungs before decimating the remaining zombies./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"Whilst Wild watched the others fight, the diamond zombie attempted to tackle her. Thankfully for her, this was the moment Evan landed, and he tossed the zombie away from them./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"Evan flicked his wrists and summoned his weapon, a bone bow. It was surrounded in a mystical glow, so he put an arrow into it. Said arrow flew through the air much quicker than usual and went straight through the diamond zombie's chestplate./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"Wild copied her comrade's hand movements, and felt nothing in her hands. She looked down, and there actually wasn't anything in her hands./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"On her hands – or, rather, fingers – however, were sharpened claws, similar to her ocelot's but much more menacing./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""Ominotchominotchominotch!" She ran up to the zombie and sliced his face up. "How do you like me now, rotten brains?"/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"The zombie stumbled back, and jumped at the pair, but Evan shot his hand out, and a sticky web coated the diamond-plated foe. It tumbled past the pair and landed in the gorge, amongst the other zombies, forced down there by the previously trapped Rangers./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"Log threw a grenade into the air, and Evan coated it too with a spider web. It fell for a few seconds before Iron fired a mushroom shuriken straight into it, splitting it into multiple grenades, and then, Wild and Star leapt into the air over the gorge and used the last of their strength to smash it downwards into the zombies. Evan also vaulted into the air, bringing Wild and Star to the side with Iron and Log./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""HELL YEAH!" the five Rangers cried, posing in front of the gorge as the grenades exploded and a huge fiery cloud formed behind them./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""Gamemode: Survival," said Wild, powering down, and the others followed suit. At long last, a transmission came from the morphers./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""Good job guys," said Caleb, sounding incredibly pleased with them and with himself. "I knew you wouldn't fail me."/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""You bet!" StarRod said. Log and Spiderboy smiled and high fived./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"However, the Ranger's celebrations was short-lived as the diamond zombie jumped out of the gorge and landed in front of them. Its diamond armor fell off as a veiny arch popped out of its back shoulders, and its skin rotted rapidly. It turned around, standing upright, and stared at them menacingly./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""What the Nether?" was the first thing said, by Iron of course, followed by evil laughter from the monster./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""Huehuehue... you have a lot to learn, Rangers," it said, spitting out the word "Rangers" like a sour lemon. "This was a mere warning shot, compared to what is to come for your world, and for all of Minecraft!"/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""That's what you think, you terrible brute!" Log cried, hiding behind Spiderboy, who added, "Yeah, you have no idea what we're capable of!"/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""I'm afraid it is you who cannot comprehend what I- or rather, Master Herobrine, is capable of!" the creature retorted, shocking the Rangers./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""So Herobrine is real..." Star trailed off, pondering something./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""Oh, you have no idea, foolish child," the monster mocked./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""What are you?" Wild said at last, looking it directly in the eyes. "Who are you?"/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""My name is Rothimus. Remember it, for it will be the last thing you ever think!" And with that, the creature spread its arms and transformed into a nebulous gas, floating away contrary to the wind./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;"The Rangers stood dumbfounded. Sure, they'd fought off the threat this time, but who knew what lay in store for them? After what felt like forever, Caleb broke the silence./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;""We better fix up this gorge. I feel like we'll be needing it in the future."/p
