The Rangers desperately ducked as Rita continued to throw electricity at them via a spell. Still lying low, they pulled out their blade blasters and fired at the woman who merely dodged the fire and then laughed. Those stupid Rangers had no chance of defeating her even without her staff. The scepter had merely been a means to an end, but she still had insurmountable powers at her fingertips. She began chanting in her native tongue and the electricity and thunder filled the sky. The Rangers carefully rose to their feet, pulling out their weapons and preparing for an attack. Rita stared at them and laughed dismissively and then continued her spell as thunder and lightning crashed, and the winds picked up. The teens had put up quite a fight, but they were no match for her and her powers.
"What's she doing?"
"I don't know!" With an air of finality, she finished the spell and with a flick of her wrist, the elements flew at the Rangers. They quickly put their weapons together and summoned their energy. The two bolts of energy hit each other and the Rangers strained to keep Rita's attack at bay. The teens grunted with effort. Come on! You have to hold out! the Green and White Ranger thought to himself. Rita laughed in delight as she saw her wave of energy starting to overwhelm the Rangers' block. Soon, they would be all hers. Suddenly, a small group appeared. The newcomers pulled out their weapons, summoned their energy, and placed it with the Rangers' weapons. Rita's eyes widened as the new weapons overloaded her attack. She cried out in surprise as she was knocked back.
"Dex!" the Rangers cried out in surprise.
"Oh man, are we glad to see you," the Black Ranger stated.
"Zordon teleported us to the Command Center and told us that you could use some help," the Masked Rider replied.
"He was right," the Green and White Ranger confirmed. Aw, man. This was just what we needed, he thought in relief. They had never personally fought Rita before, and while they had been expecting the magic that she had thrown at them, they hadn't expected her fighting prowess that she had displayed before she had tried the energy blast. Rita's eyes darkened and narrowed dangerously. So, they had some back up did they? Well, no matter. They would all die. With a wave of her hand, she was in a fighter's uniform consisting of golden armor that was similar to that of Scorpina and Goldar's old uniforms and she had a sword in her hand. Then, she lunged at the Rangers, knocking them back.
"Kim, can you turn in the Pterodactyl again?" the Brown Ranger asked as they all circled around the sorceress.
"I don't even know how I did it the first time!" the Pink Ranger responded. Rita let out a yell and then lashed out at the group with a kick and an energy blast from the sword, knocking them down. Before they could even blink, she teleported from her current location to directly behind the Green and White Ranger, grabbed him by the shoulder with one hand while she placed the sword at his throat with the other. The Ranger froze. No, he thought. He didn't want to go out like this. This couldn't be how he died. He wanted to die of old age, not by the hand of the woman who still occasionally haunted his dreams.
"TOMMY!" the other Rangers shouted. Rita cackled in delight.
"Unless you wanna kiss him goodbye, back off nice and slow," she told them. The others looked at each other worriedly.
"Don't you do it! Destroy her now!" the Green and White Ranger shouted. Rita's features showed a wide grin at the fear laced in the Ranger's voice.
"Oh, they won't do that Tommy, and you know it. They care about you too much," she sneered. The Troopers, Beetleborgs, Masked Rider, and Rangers started forward, but Rita pressed the sword down, breaking the fabric that covered the Green and White Ranger's neck. The Ranger grunted and tried to free himself, but the sorceress' grip was too strong. In the Command Center, Josh watched anxiously.
"They need help! They need a distraction!" Josh exclaimed. He turned to Alpha. "Teleport me down there and I can get that witch away from the Green and White Ranger," he told the robot.
"You have no powers and would be going in alone. I cannot allow you to take such a great risk," Zordon stated.
"It's the only way! I can do this," Josh insisted. Zordon let out an inaudible sigh. It was just like when Tommy would beg to go into a fight despite his waning powers. He could never deny his Rangers a chance to help their friends, and he really had no authority over the young boy.
"All right. But as soon as the Green and White Ranger is free, Alpha will teleport you back here," Zordon told him.
"Fine," Josh agreed. Alpha pressed punched in the coordinates on the computer and seconds later, Josh once again found himself being dissipating into tiny particles. When he landed, he found himself directly behind the witch.
"Hey! Over here, you old hag!" he shouted. Surprised, Rita turned around, releasing her captive in the process. The Green and White Ranger quickly rolled away and then jumped to his feet and joined his friends. With a yell, Rita threw her sword at Josh who quickly jumped back. Then, he disappeared in a stream of particles. Rita fumed but quickly waved her sword back to her with a flick of her wrist. Then, pointing at the Green and White Ranger, she said a quick spell and then made a gesturing motion. To his surprise, he found himself flying through the air. Underneath her helmet, Kimberly's eyes flashed angrily. Who did Rita think she was, targeting Tommy? She growled angrily and sparks of Pink energy flowed from her, hitting each of the Rangers. Filled with the anger, they turned to Rita. Underneath his helmet, he Green and White Ranger's eyes shone a brilliant green. He wasn't going to cower for Rita. No way. She didn't get to have him. Each of the Rangers panted as they felt their emotions heighten. Rita cried out in surprise as various roars were heard and various shades of light filled the sky. When the lights faded, Rita, the Masked Rider, the V.R. Troopers, and the Beetleborgs could only stare in shock. Where the Rangers had once stood, were a pink Pterodactyl, a black Mastodon, a yellow Saber-toothed Tiger, a blue Triceratops, a brown Raptor, a purple Stegasaurus, a gold Brachiosaurus, a silver Dragon, and a green dragon that had the head of a white tiger. Rita's jaw dropped in surprise. This…was not going to be good….
