DISCLAIMER
Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney. Plot comes from a subplot in Arwennicole's fic "Learning To Live" and I have permission to use it. For the most part, I'm going to try to make things as different from the movie as possible, though I use some lines from the movie here and may use some of the same things later on.
Katherine and Tommy walked through Africa, tracking Lerigot's signal.
"Tommy, why did you ask me to come with you and not Kim?" Katherine wondered.
"Because I know she'd rather be closer to the action," Tommy responded.
"Of course. That makes sense," Katherine answered. They continued on their way until they found him.
"Lerigot," Katherine called.
"Alpha," the small alien murmured.
"Yes, Alpha," Tommy confirmed.
"Come on, Lerigot. We'll take you to Alpha," Katherine said. They took his hand guided him to a shady spot.
"Alpha, we're ready to teleport," Tommy reported. It was done. Once there, the small wizard was placed on the examining table.
"Is he going to be all right?" Katherine queried.
"The sun's taken its toll on him, but this should restore his life force…for now," Alpha responded. On Divatox's submarine, she primped as she outlined her plan to her minions.
"Once we get to Muiranthias, I will free Maligore and together, we will rule the universe," she said.
"But how are you going to free him?" Elgar wondered.
"Why, a sacrifice, Dear nephew. All he needs is one sacrifice of purity and strength. And once he sees the Powerlicious offering I have for him, he won't be able to resist," Divatox answered.
"You really think I'm going to let you sacrifice me to some freak?" Jason asked. Rygog shoved him.
"Rygog! Are you out your mind? We need him un-bruised for the sacrifice," Divatox scolded. "Lerigot is probably with Zordon by now. Remove the mind block! We'll use his wife Yara to contact them both." As Rygog did so, Divatox grabbed a pair of chains and forcefully put them around Jason's wrists.
"Hmm…I think I rather like you this way," she smirked, stroking his cheekbone with a well-manicured finger. Jason jerked away. The Rangers kept a concerned eye on Lerigot.
"I wonder who's chasing him," Rocky mused. Just then, the wizard began moaning in distressing.
"What's happening to him?" Adam wondered.
"He must be receiving a telepathic message that is obviously upsetting him greatly," Alpha answered.
"Alpha attach the cranial transmission scanner and connect it to the viewing globe," Zordon instructed. Alpha did so.
"Zordon, I know you can hear me, so listen well," Divatox started. "Lerigot must surrender to me. Say hello to Yara, loving wife and caring mother to little baby Bethel." Lerigot moaned in distress.
"Turn it off! Look at what it's doing to him!" Katherine cried in alarm as she and the others tried to keep him from struggling.
"Oh, and as a token of my appreciation, I'll free one of your favorite humans. I've gotten a lot of use out of him, but I understand the importance of good faith," Divatox continued, pulling someone into view. Everyone froze.
"Jason," Tommy said in trepidation.
"Rangers, don't do---" his warning was cut off as she yanked on his shackles and he fell to the floor.
"Deliver Lerigot to me or it's lights out for all of them!" she snapped, before shutting off the transmission.
"Yara!" The Rangers stared at each other, each feeling the same amount of distress.
