Chapter 2: The Emperor arrives

Armada Mothership, control room

Damaras observed the Earth from the ship's window. He couldn't believe that such insignificant creatures could possibly defeat not only Vekar, but also Vrak.

"Vrak's power rivaled my own." Damaras thought to himself. "And those rangers still beat him. Perhaps it's hopeless…. No, I can't let my doubt sway my thoughts. Those rangers will fall soon enough once Vrak recovers."

The doors leading to the ship hallways slid open and Levira walked in. She approached Damaras, who was still lost in deep thought as he observed their target planet.

"Damaras." Levira said as she touched his shoulder.

"How is he?" Damaras asked.

"Vrak sustained multiple fatal wounds, but he'll live." Levira answered. "He just needs a bit more time to recover."

"I understand." Damaras said as he turned his face back to the window.

"So have we received any new orders yet?" Levira inquired.

"No, I haven't heard anything." Damaras answered, not turning his head away from the window.

Levira hung her head in shame. "What are we going to do?"

Suddenly, the ship began to rock violently as bright explosions erupted outside of the ship. Levira and Damaras lost their footing and grasped the consoles of the ship.

"What's happening?" Levira cried out.

"An enemy attack?" Damaras suggested as the two looked outside the window.

The two couldn't believe what they saw. Dozens of purple ships flew toward the Armada fleet. The purple ships shot down each of the Armada ships in their way, destroying the entire fleet save for the Mothership.

"They're destroying our ships!" Levira cried out.

Suddenly, Damaras and Levira heard the door behind the throne opening which revealed a hidden hallway.

"Make way for Emperor Mavro." A voice from behind the door announced.

"He's here?!" Levira gasped in shock as she and Damaras stepped forward.

"Bow down before His Royal Highness!" The voice ordered.

And sure enough, it was the Emperor: Mavro the father of Vekar and Vrak. Accompanying him were two Elite Armada soldiers and his two Generals, Redker and Yellzor.

"Your Majesty!" Damaras cried out.

Damaras and Levira immediately got down on their knees and bowed before the Emperor as he walked into the Command Center.

"As you can see, Damaras." Mavro said as he approached and sat down on the throne. "both of your fleets have just paid the ultimate price for your dismal failure to conquer this planet and to protect my son, Prince Vekar!"

"Emperor, I can explain." Damaras begged.

Mavro ignored his plea. "Take Damaras into custody!" He ordered.

"Sire…." Damaras began.

"Your incompetence will not be tolerated any longer!" Mavro growled as Yellzor and Redker approached Damaras.

"What? But your Majesty…" Damaras pleaded, standing to his feet before being seized by both Redker and Yellzor.

"Silence!" Redker barked, as he slashed Damaras with his claws. "You were supposed to protect the prince and you failed! Now you will suffer!"

"Inept fool, not only did you not protect him, you watched him get destroyed!" Yellzor added.

"Wait, Damaras warned the Prince!" Levira blurted out grasping Yellzor's arm. "He tried to stop him!"

"Quiet, you're lucky you don't get worse than this!" Yellzor roared as he fired an energy blast at Levira knocking her backwards.

"Take him away!" Mavro ordered.

Redker pushed Damaras to Elite Guards, who dragged him to the door.

"Sire, please, allow me a chance to redeem myself." Damaras begged as he was dragged away to the cells.

"Damaras failed me, but the Powers Rangers did the deed. They destroyed my sons, now I'll destroy them!" Mavro boomed.

"Well, not both of your sons, father." A voice corrected.

At that moment, Vrak had entered the room. He was completely healed from his battle with the rangers.

Levira looked up in shock. "Vrak! How did you -"

"Let's just say my Zombats do more than engrow beings." Vrak answered.

"Vrak, my son!" Mavro shouted in shock. "How can you be alive? Your brother said you were lost in battle."

"Well, father, it seems that my idiot brother forgot to give the Messenger a tracking device for me." Vrak explained. "And by the time Vekar arrived on Earth, I was in a cyborg state and he might have mistaken me for an enemy."

"I should have known better than to trust your brother's word?" Mavro sighed. "You have always survived worse, Vrak. Why, without your strategies and advisement, your brother would never have been able to destroy the planet Andresia."

"Well, I had a great teacher and someone I wanted to please, Father." Vrak admitted. "And unlike my brother, I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself and conquering planets for you on my own."

"And that is why Vrak, I have always favored you over your brother." Mavro told him.

"Unfortunately, Father, ever since I've arrived on this planet, I have done nothing that you could be proud of." Vrak confessed. "I failed to take control of Warstar."

"No matter, Vrak." Mavro assured him. "I never did trust that Malkor. Now it's time for us to work together so we can finally crush these so-called Power Rangers and avenge your fallen brother."

"Nothing would please me more." Vrak bowed humbly.

"And once this is all over, I will surrender control of the Armada to you, my son." Mavro told him.

Vrak smiled wickedly at his father's statement.

"Well, I have a plan already in motion, but it will take some time before we can enact it." Vrak disclosed. "All I need you to do is to stall the rangers while I do some research on something."

"Very well, Vrak and take Yellzor with you." Mavro agreed.

"Thank you, Father." Vrak said before he and Yellzor departed for the lab.

Mavro looked out of the window of the control room. He observed the peaceful Earth with burning hatred.

End Notes: So that's the second part of the rewrite. The next chapter will skip the fight with Damaras and lead straight into the Wrath. It will take place while the rangers fight Levira.

Please rate and review. I like hearing what you have to say.

Until Next time
