Here is part 2 glad to see some of you liked the first chapter. And I hope you enjoy the second one. Again I do not own anything from TLOS or The Power Rangers. I just own my OC's being used. And, JD is a friend of mine.

(End of Opening disclaimer)

The Rangers looked at themselves and each other in awe. None of them could believe what just happened. All four of them were Power Rangers and the dragons that they just met were their suits. The humans began to wonder if they really had died. But, instead of going down; they went up. And, were now very cool and awesome guardian angels. It was then they heard Zen release a groan of irritation.

"Man," He whined, "I hate pink." He finished as he looked himself over.

"Hey!" Ember said in a slightly offended tone. Zen jumped from the sudden voice he heard in his helmet, "That wasn't very nice, you know." She finished.

"Ember?!" Zen called out as he looked around, "Where are you? I don't see you." He said as he looked around for the dragoness.

"I don't see you either. But, I can hear you." Ember replied.

Zen continued to search for her until he remembered what had just happened. Slowly, he brought up one of his hands and looked at it. He felt a wave of shock and surprise come over him. Possibly from her seeing their new hand.

"Is that my paw?" Ember asked.

Zen nodded, "Yes, but its still my hand," He answered while he slowly moved their now talon fingers, "Ember, I'm wearing you?!" He finished in confusion.

Just like them the others grew confused; they had no idea that the dragons were still aware or even conscious. They all began to feel a mixture of emotions. Worry, excitement, fear, and happiness. They were feeling how the other felt. And, to all of them it felt strangely amazing. JD then turned his attention to Ignitus. Who was smiling down at them.

"Ignitus," JD began, "Why are we," He paused for a moment feeling hesitation enter him. But, it was then he felt a warming sensation coming from his shoulder. He looked and saw that one of his hands had placed itself there. But, he did not do that. He then felt a sense of emotional support; one that would be given by someone saying "It's okay. I'm here.". He figured it was Spyro which made him smile behind their mask. He then took a deep breath and finished his question, "Why are we Power Rangers?" He asked.

Ignitus was silent for a moment; his smile leaving him and being replaced with a look of seriousness. He brought his massive head down to JD. Which made him feel worried that he had just said something wrong. He looked into the glaring eyes of the dragon. Wondering what was about to happen. What happened next was not expected. For, Ignitus had suddenly smiled and gently rubbed his snout against the Ranger. He was nuzzling them.

JD then grew confused until he gasped out in shock. Yet, another warming sensation had coursed through his body. But this one was completely different. This one was more loving and welcoming. Almost like he was being hugged by a family member or a dearly close friend. It then clicked into his head; he was feeling Spyros emotions. Not only could the dragons sometimes move their now shared body. But, now he knew they could feel each others emotions.

When Ignitus broke the small embrace; both he and the Ranger were having. The glow from before had returned. The Rangers looked at themselves; each of them noticing the crystal they had before. Was now in the center of their chest. The glows then left their bodies and moved to the ceiling. The lights shined down just in front of them.

"JD, Spyro," Ignitus spoke causing The Ranger to look at him, "Please, step forward." He commanded.

JD then moved them forward into the light. Both of them feeling a strange sense of pride. As the dragon in front of them looked down at them.

"You asked me. Why you were all chosen to be a Power Rangers," He spoke in a gentle voice getting a nod from the two, "Because, each of you are more than just what you are. You're all more than just teenagers with attitude," In the back of his mind Ignitus wondered why he said that, "JD, Spyro, Both of you deep down I know hate conflict. Neither of you want to wish harm on others. But, you will fight to protect yourself and others if necessary. Purple, symbolizes protection and peace for dragons in this realm. And, together, both of you are no doubt. The true embodiment of The Purple Dragon Ranger." The moment he finished the two had split apart. The crystal had now become pendants around their necks. They looked at each other and smiled.

Ignitus then focused his gaze on Zane, "Zane, Cynder, step forward please," The two did as instructed and stepped forward into the light, "Both of you have had difficult times in your past," The moment he said that; both of them had a wave of sadness shoot through them. Bringing them to the verge of tears, "But, because of that; you both have gotten stronger in your own way," Now both of them were shocked, "That strength you both have. Inspired both of you to be greater; to find a new path to go down. Rather than the one both of you had layed before you. That strength gives others the strength to over come their own fears and doubt. Both of you are without a doubt. The perfect embodiment of The Black Dragon Ranger." Like Spyro and JD the two split into two. Their crystals were also pendants. Zane smiled proudly; while Cynder had to try and keep herself from crying.

His vision then turned towards Zin and Ember, "Zen, Ember," The two stepped forward into the pink light, "Zen, Ember, both of you are the same in more ways than one. Zen, there are times you tend to act strong, to act like someone who will have no problem injuring another. But, underneath all of that is a very loving and caring person," Ember could feel an emotion of embarrassment suddenly wash over her, "Ember, you tend to show off and act like you care only about how you feel and look. But, during hard times you show great compassion and caring for others." Now it was Zen who was feeling the embarrassment from Ember, "The Pink Dragon Ranger is a symbol of love. A symbol that shows no matter what; ordinary creatures can come together. Out of mutual love for one another and overcome the darkness. That is what both of you are." Like the other when they split into two. They two also had pendants that held their crystals.

Then last but not least was Mike and Flame The Red Dragon Ranger. Slowly, they stepped into the light and stood in front of Ignitus, "Mike, Flame," He began, "Both of you have fiery attitudes and tempers. That is the destruction that your fire represents, an unmerciful, unfeeling, unforgiving destroyer." Both of them felt a sense of worry and fear shoot through them, "But, there is another thing your fire represents," They looked up at him, "Your fire represents light. A light that will always pierce through the darkest of nights. Your fire represents the light of hope. A hope that will never be extinguished. That is what The Red Dragon Ranger is." They split in two just like the others. Their red crystals were around their necks in the form of pendants.

Ignitus stared proudly down at the group of eight before him. While they smiled up at him; it was then all of them started to fade away. The humans grew both worried and confused by this. But, the dragons remained calm.

"Before all of you wake remember these words," Ignitus spoke causing all of them to look at him, "There will come a time all of you will be separated. And, the darkness will close in to over take you all. But, remember, no matter how far away. Or, how scared you are of being alone. All of you are connect not only through heart. But, also through spirit. Remember this and you will never be alone." He finished as all of them nodded just before they faded away completely.

Both groups sat up in shock; they looked around noticing they were all back in their cells. They also noticed that they still had the pendants around their necks. They looked at each other from across the hall. None of them dare try to talk out loud. The dragons watched as the humans suddenly grouped together. All of them wondered what they were doing. They then saw JD get close to the bars; he looked left and then right. When he saw the coast was clear he slid something across the floor. The dragons watched as some kind of rectangular object slid into their cell. The object made the sound of a building electrical attack; which made all of them fear that they were going to be attacked. That was until a voice came through the thing.

"Hey, can you hear us?" It was the voice of JD.

"Yes, we can!" Spyro shouted in pure amazement. He then heard a series of silencing hisses coming through the thing.

"Don't talk so loud," Mike whisper shouted through her walkie, "You're gonna make the guard notice." She finished as the humans checked to see if the guards heard. Thankfully, they did not.

"Sorry." Spyro quickly apologized.

"It's okay. You didn't know." Zen spoke.

Ember moved closer, "What is this thing?" She asked.

"It's a walkie talkie," Answered Zane, "We had to fix it; that way you can talk to us." He explained.

"It sounds like all of you are here in our cell." Cynder said in complete amazement.

"Yeah, these things are made for long-range communication." JD explained.

It was then Flame spoke up, "Although, I find this cool and all. How about all of us discuss and escape plan." He suggested.

The group agreed and began talking about plans of escape. They groups talked long into the early hours of the morning. Asking about the defenses of the prison they were kept in. how many guards were stationed. And, what exactly was going to happen to them all tomorrow. They didn't need to wait long to find out. At the first sight of dawn; both groups were violently woken from their slumber. Riptoc's had entered their cells; spears at the ready. They violently jabbed and lunged at all of them. Making them walk down the hallway. The groups were lead to a large arena; where more Riptoc's sat and cheered. It reminded the humans about the arenas gladiators would fight to the death in.

It was then two loud horns blew and everything went silent. Everyone's attention focused on the podium; towards the center of the stands. There inside of it stood a single Riptoc that wore a wizards cloak and carried a scepter. Which had a crystal that seemed to pulse with dark energy. It didn't go unnoticed by the humans. That the Riptoc had an insanely large head on its shoulders.

"Three bucks. Says that's the top dog." Zen whispered to Mike.

"Kinda looks like a walking bobble head." Mike replied causing the humans to snicker.

All four humans were then hit with a zap of dark lightning. Making all of them fly backwards and land on the ground hard. All of them groaned in pain; as smoke rose from their bodies. The dragons tried to go and help them. But, they were blocked by dark fire that shot up from the ground.

"I am Ripto!" He shouted in a voice that was too deep even for him, "Leader of the Riptoc's!" He continued causing all of his loyal followers to cheer; as the humans slowly got to their feet, "My subjects! Today I present to you the fight of the century!" He shouted causing all of Riptocs in the stands to cheer loudly, "Today, the dragons will fight to the death against the apes!" He finished.

JD nearly shouted that they were not apes. But, he was quickly silenced by two Riptoc's. Who had started to dress him in oversized armor. They even gave him a short sword to fight with. He looked at the others; and saw like him, they were dressed in armor that hardly fit. And, they each had their own weapons. Mike was given a longsword. Zin a spear. And, Zane was given a rather large shield. It was then Ripto raised his scepter.

"Now, Apes! Dragons! Fight!" He shouted in response Zin had thrown the spear he was give up at Ripto. It was quickly blown to pieces by another dark lightning attack.

The humans removed their armors and stared up at him. The dragons were also staring at Ripto. All eight of them shot looks of anger at him. While he smiled wickedly down at them. He figured all of them had planned to fight together to try and get out of his arena. But, they did not count on him to have a back up plan. He then tapped his scepter on the ground three times. From under the podium a large door opened. And, from it out walked five large Riptoc's. Each of them carrying a rather large crystal. He then aimed his scepter down at the Riptoc's. In a flash of light a magical beam shot out and hit all of them. A blinding light came from all five of them for a few seconds. But, when it dimmed the humans and dragons saw something horrifying.

The Riptocs had been fused with the crystals. Their claws, teeth, and bodies were all covered in crystal armor. Not only were they possibly more deadly now. But, they were also given near perfect armor. All five Riptoc's smiled before they released hideous roars.

"Kill them!" Ripto shouted.

"Get ready!" JD shouted just as one of the Riptoc's stabbed its claws into the ground.

From the ground four smaller crystals appeared. The crystals then transformed into fully crystal Riptoc's, "Man, they can make copies!" Zen shouted as the crystal Riptoc's ran towards them. While the larger ones headed for the dragons.

Both groups then entered battle. The dragons were able to hold their own against the Riptoc's. But, the humans were not so lucky. Their weapons had been shattered easily by the attacks. And, when they had tried to punch or kick the other fighters. They would only end up hurting themselves. The humans were powerless against the monsters Ripto had created. Zen is shown being punched hard into a wall. He released a cry of pain from the impact. Before he slowly slid back down to the floor.

"ZEN!" Ember shouted as she tried to get to him. But she was quickly blocked by one of the giant Riptoc's they were fighting.

Like Zen the others soon follow. Mike had received two hard punches to her stomach. And, then a damaging uppercut. She was thankful that her jaw was not dislocated or broken. JD had been picked up and slammed down hard onto the knee of the Riptoc he fought. He was in so much pain; he though for sure his spine had just been broken. Zane had received multiple punches to his face and chest area. Before being thrown violently against Zen. All of the humans groaned in pain as they tried to get up.

"Guys," JD spoke in a voice filled with pain, "I don't think I can move." He finished.

Come on," Zen said as he braced himself against a wall; trying to steady himself as he slowly got to his feet, "Everyone, on your feet!" He finished with a groan.

"We can't beat them," Mike said as she clutched her stomach. Feeling wave after wave of pain shooting from there, "We're not strong enough." She finished as she moved to help JD up off the ground.

The dragons looked at them in worry. The humans were getting beaten to death and their was nothing they could do. When they would try to move to help them. They would be blocked by the giant Riptoc's. They knew they needed help; they just couldn't get to them.

"You are all connected through heart and spirit."

The dragons pendant's started to glow; shortly followed by their bodies glowing brightly. Before they became balls of light; which shot towards the humans. Entering their pendants; Ripto was shocked by this and focused his attention on the apes. Which were now staring down at their now glowing pendants.

JD smiled, "Hey, guys, are all of you feeling the spirit?" He asked hearing all of them reply that they did, "Then, unleash the spirit!" They held their pendants up and the crystals inside glowed brightly.

Ripto watched as the glow from the pendants moved down towards them. Encasing them in large, bright glowing, crystals. From the crystal the ape reappeared again. But, this time they were wearing armor that seemed to be made out of dragon scales. But, the dragons were not slaughter and skinned? How were the apes doing this?

"Purple Dragon Ranger!" JD shouted as he took a battle stance.

"Black Dragon Ranger!" Zane shouted while taking a battle stance of his own.

"Pink Dragon Ranger!" Zen shouted as he held his scepter out; aiming it at the Riptocs.

"Red Dragon Ranger!" Mike shouted aiming her blaster at one of the crystal monsters in front of her.

JD then stood proudly, "We are something more," He began, "Something that no matter what; evil will never break it," His voice sounded more fierce, "We are The Power Rangers!" all of them are shown standing together; before they moved closer weapons at the ready, "Dragon Spirit!" The moment all of them shouted that a large amount of energy exploded behind them. It caused the Riptoc's in the arena to back away from them.

"What are you fools doing?!" Shouted Ripto in anger, "Get them!" He commanded.

The Riptoc's obeyed without hesitation and charged the Rangers. The Rangers released battlecries as they closed in on the small crystal Riptoc's. They had no problem destroying them; now that they were powered up. It was the larger ones that were going to be the real fight.

JD had his sword and shield at the ready as he charged one of the large ones. It was then the eyes on top of his helmet lit up. And, without warning his shield had suddenly flown up and back onto his back. Turning back into a pair of wings; he then felt himself lifted up off the ground.

"We can fly?!" JD shouted in confusion as the others looked at him. He smiled underneath the mask, "WE CAN FLY!" He finished in a voice filled with excitement; just before they had to dodge a swing attack from the Riptoc, "Spyro, dive bomb him!" JD said.

"On it!" Spyro replied as he flew them straight down.

JD brought his sword back and prepared to deliver a hard slash. Both of them felt a surge of energy go through them and into their weapon. Which started to glow brightly; while sparks of electricity began to shoot from the blade. The Riptoc tried to swat them away; only to miss giving the perfect opening. With a yell they slashed the Riptoc hard; landing on the ground behind it. Just before it exploded in a blast of electric energy.

Zane had locked his arm blades with the claws of one of the other Riptoc's. They were both pressing against each other. Trying to back the other off. But, neither of them were backing down. Cynder's eyes glower and a large wind attack pushed the Riptoc back. Then, with the power of the wind; Zane began to spin rapidly. Turning into a small twister which moved closer to the Riptoc. In seconds the Riptoc was torn to pieces by the destructive power of their spinning attack.

Zen is shown flying through the air. His scepter shooting magical beams down at the Riptoc below. It managed to dodge most of their beams. With a yell Zen hovered in the air; aiming the tip of his scepter down at the Riptoc. Like the other two Embers eyes glowed; along with the tip of the scepter. Then from it came a massive fireball attack; it hit the Riptoc head on. Leaving only scorched earth wear it stood.

"Aw, yeah!" Zen yelled as they landed on the ground.

Mike was running towards the last Riptoc; blaster aimed directly at it. It aimed its claw at her and crystals shot out from it. Thankfully, all they did was go right by her and hit the ground behind her. She shouted as she aimed her blaster and pulled the trigger. Shooting out four small fire balls; which hit the Riptoc hard. It then started to unleashed a barrage of crystal shots. All of them missed her. When she was close enough she stabbed the blade of her blaster into the abdomen of the monster. She then pulled the trigger again and shot a ball of nothing but pure energy into the creature. Shattering it to pieces in a matter of seconds.

Ripto could not believe what he had just witness. His best warrior defeated; it was not possible. There was no way; no dragon or ape had ever been this strong before. How was this happening? A blast from above brought him back to reality. The red one had apparently noticed the arena was covered with nothing but chain metal. And, had blasted an opening for all of them to escape.

"STOP THEM!" Ripto ordered causing the Riptocs in the stands to jump into the ring.

"Everyone, Fly!" JD shouted.

The wings on the arms of Zane and Mike's blaster; had returned to their backs. While Ember's wings had unfolded from her back. It didn't take them long to go air born. Well, it was for Zane since he was protesting every time Cynder would flap her wings. Before the horde of Riptoc's reached them. All of the Dragon Rangers had flown out of the arena and into the sky above. Ripto growled in anger as he shot a large magical beam into the sky.

"Keep flying east!" JD shouted as they are all shown flying through the sky, "Spyro says the temple is that way!" He finished.

Cynder felt waves and waves of fear coursing through her. Fear that she was feeling from Zane; she even felt like she was on the verge of crying, "Zane, what's wrong?" She asked but got no response, "Zane?!" She spoke in worry.

"I'm afraid of heights." Zane said in a voice laced with fear; his eyes shut tightly behind his mask.

Cynder was now confused; which Zane felt. Before she could ask a question; Ember and Zen moved closer to her.

"He's been scared of heights since he was really young," She heard Zen explain, "We'll explain more when we get to where ever were going." He finished.

The group flew in complete silence for a very long time. For three of the humans it was amazing being able to fly. While for one of them it was a complete nightmare. As they flew; all of them eventually caught sight of a large stone structure. Was that the temple they were talking about? As they flew Spyro suddenly felt a wave of pain shoot through his back. Just as JD started to groan loudly in pain.

"JD," Spyro asked in worry, "JD, What's wrong?"

JD could only reply, "Spyro." Before he fell unconscious inside the suit.

Spyro gasped in horror as his body started to glow, "No, No!" He shouted as he tried to focus on keeping them together, "Ancestors, please. Help us get there."

"Spyro!" Flame shouted, "Something's wrong with Mike!"

"What?!" Spyro shouted as he turned his head to look at him. To his horror Flame was also glowing, "No, Flame! Focus on staying together!" He shouted at his friend.

"I'm trying!" Flame shouted back before he noticed Ember had started glowing, "Ember?! You too?!" He asked.

"Yes, Zen's not talking! I think he's hurt!" She replied just as Cynder started to glow as well.

This was bad. Very, very, very, bad. All of them were threatening to break apart. But, if they did there would be no way they could save the humans. All Spyro thought was to fly faster and get to the temple. He then gasped loudly as he felt the metallic taste of blood in his mouth. JD, was bleeding.

"SPYRO!" Cynder suddenly shouted in fear; making him look at her, "Zane's hurt! He's hurt really bad! I think I can feel him bleeding!" She informed him the other two also confirmed that their humans were badly injured as well.

"Get to the temple, now!" Spyro shouted causing all of them to fly faster.

The temples entrance is then shown; its old and massive doors swinging open hard. As three large dragons are shown exiting it. One was a blue as ice. Another yellow like electricity. The third green like the earth bellow. These three were the guardians of the elements. Cyril, the guardian of ice. Volteer, the guardian of electricity. And, Terrador, the guardian of earth. All three of them were watching the four glowing lights in wonder. As they got closer and closer to the temple. Just as soon as the lights were just in front of them. They had stopped glowing; and from the lights the four dragons they were hoping to rescue fell from them. Landing on the ground hard.

Terrador quickly approached a groaning Spyro, "Spyro, are you all alright?" He asked before Spyro shot to his feet.

"Terrador, our friends need help!" Spyro shouted.

Terrador was confused; that was until he looked behind him. His eyes went wide in shock as the others were trying to wake up. Four, unconscious and severely injured apes. He looked down at Spyro and saw a pleading look on his face. He nodded and stood up.

"Get the apes to the healing chamber now!" He shouted.

A few hours later all four dragons are shown laying outside the healing chamber. All four of them were worried for the humans. It was all a shock to them; one second the humans were alright. Then, next thing they knew, it felt like the humans were dying inside of them. Cynder shuddered at the thought. Ember was trying to keep herself from crying. Flame was growing impatient. While Spyro; he wondered if all of them were going to be okay. The moment the door opened all of them stood up and looked. Volteer slowly walked out and looked at them. There was a sad look on his face and he sighed sadly.

"Their wounds," He began his heart aching as he prepared to tell them the horrible news, "Are fatal." He finished causing all of them to gasp in horror.

None of them could believe what they had just heard. The humans; their friends, had fatal wounds. All of them had tears running down from their eyes; as they ran into the room. Allowing all of them to look at the human they had turned into a ranger with. All of them were lying down in front of a glowing green life gem. But, the gems were not working. Each of them quickly ran up to their human; looking down at their destroyed bodies. Which was slowly loosing life.

Spyro cried heavily as he layed himself down between JD and the crystal. He cried heavily into JD's chest. The others were doing the same. They held their friends close to them as they cried. Begging for the ancestors to help them. None of them noticing the glow of the life gem; slowly moving from their bodies and into the humans. It was then in a single moment Spyro heard JD take in a deep breath. Which was followed by a shout of pain.

"JD!" Spyro shouted just as JD began to thrash about, "JD, no stop!" He said as he tried to hold JD down.

The other humans had also regained consciousness. Each of them shouting and yelling out in pain as they thrashed where they lay. The dragons beside them doing their best to hold them down. JD's eyes locked with Spyro's.

"Spyro," JD began in a voice that was filled with pain, "PLEASE, HELP ME! I DONT WANT TO DIE!" He yelled.

Spyro was shocked by this; JD continued to thrash and cry out in pain. He heard him yelling, "It hurts! It hurts! Please, stop it! Stop the pain!" His shock was soon replaced with sadness; his friend was now in even more pain. And, there was nothing he could do.

He could hear the others humans crying and begging out for mercy. Each of them asking and begging for them to kill them. In one swift motion the dragons hugged the humans. In a flash of light all of them had turned into Power Rangers again. The humans immediately stopped thrashing and screaming. They only lay there panting and gasping heavily.

"JD, are you okay?" Spyro asked sensing that he had calmed down.

"The pain," JD said in a voice of relief, "It stopped." He finished.

It was then Spyro felt a familiar warming sensation course through his body. He recognized it as the energy from the life crystal. He heard JD gasp again; except this time it sounded like it was out of relief. The crystal it was healing him.

"Spyro?" The voice of Flame called out, "Is JD okay?!" He asked.

"Yes," Spyro answered, "How's Mike?" He asked.

"The crystal's healing her now," Flame answered, "What's going on?"

Cynder was the one to answer, "I think the crystal won't heal them. Unless were combined together as rangers." She said.

"I think the same thing," Ember added, "Zen's really calm right now. And, I'm feeling a sense of great relief coming from him." She finished.

Spyro thanked the ancestors as he lay their with JD. All of them were thanking them. Although, they wished they had shown them in a different way. The ancestors revealed to them how they could help their friends. They each felt their human fall asleep inside of them. Along with a strong warming sensation. Which also had a feeling of great comfort and protection. The dragons knew what it was. And, they too also felt the emotion. They knew each of them would have to explain to the guardians; what had happened, and what is to come. But, for right now they were only worried about one thing. Their friends which needed them. More than the guardians needed an explanation.

(Ending disclaimer)

Here is chapter 2 hope it's good.
