Chapter 4: Confrontation

"So what was Spector looking for?" Drake asked as he gave Thresh an ice pack.

"Something from both our pasts," answered Thresh.

"That doesn't really explain much to me," commented Drake.

"Well that's all you need to know," said Thresh, his voice becoming stern.

"Yeah Mum, I'm sharing the flat with a friend. What did you say? Oh her name is Alisha," Denise said into her phone.

Alisha looked at her roommate with a smile on her face before her phone started to ring.

"Hello?" she asked, "Oh hey Tim. I reckon Denise and me could make it down to that new restaurant. Yeah, see ya there in half an hour."

"What did you just agree to do?" Denise asked, "'Cause I heard my name mentioned."

"We're meeting Tim, Samuel and one of Tim's friends down at that new restaurant that just opened," answered Alisha.

"You seem quite eager to meet Tim," said Denise. "Oh my god, you like Tim don't you?"

"I don't," firmly answered Alisha. "But I must say he is quite good-looking."

"Well you can deny it if you want," said Denise in a sing-song voice.

"Shut up," huffed Alisha, throwing a pillow at her room mate.

"It's so good to have you back!" cheered Spector as he hugged one of the beings that he raised from the ground.

The being was very tall, taller than Spector, and feminine. She had a pair of translucent green wings protruding from her back and another pair as ears. Her body was made out of leaves, except for her hands and feet, which were made of wood. Her face consisted of a pair of bug eyes and a human nose and mouth.

"Thank you for freeing us Spector, " replied the bug being. " I'm sure that Opie would say the same if he was old enough to talk."

Right next to the bug being was a small pram. Inside of the pram was a small bug-like baby. The baby had green skin and a face like his mother's but his body was similar to that of a Nincada's.

"I know Ophelia," said Spector, "How are Mulch and Xynexia handling being free?"

"We're going quite fine," somebody else replied.

The speaker, Mulch, was a squat thing. He was half as tall as Ophelia and fully kitted out in black armour. His head was made entirely out of ice, and his face had two beady eyes, a long hooked nose, and a large, razor-sharp toothed mouth on it. On the icy warrior's back there was a giant hammer that was about the size of his body. Next to Mulch was Xynexia, a monster who was based on a Jynx. Her body wasn't bulky like that of a Jynx, instead her body was quite thin and buxom. Her golden hair was tied up in a bun and a pair of icy wings had grown out of her back.

"Yes darling," said Xynexia, "Being trapped in that ground had severe consequences on my beauty."

"Don't worry Xynexia, you might have been trapped by the rangers before, but I'm sure that we won't get beaten by them this time. I mean they have been rangers for only three days and we have had hundreds of years of experience," said Spector as he took the buxom monster's hand. "And Thresh is not as strong as he was before."

"Really?" Mulch asked, his eyes widening in disbelief.

"Yes, just yesterday I was nearly able to destroy him forever, and I'm not at my full power yet," replied the darkness being. "And today at noon, we shall attack!"

"Why noon?" asked Mulch.

In return Spector whacked the icy warrior.


Pummelo Island

"Hey guys," greeted Denise as she saw Tim, Samuel and Tim's friend.

Tim's friend was about as tall as Tim, and very muscular. He had short blonde hair and wore a red tee shirt and a pair of denim shorts.

"This is Wes," said Tim as he introduced his friend.

Alisha walked through the restaurant's door, walked straight up to Tim, and gave him a hug.

"Hi, Alisha," Tim greeted awkwardly. "Any particular reason that you're hugging me?"

"No reason," replied the blue ranger, quickly getting off of the black ranger. "So who's your friend?"

"This is Wes," replied Tim. "Wes, these are Alisha and Denise."

"Hey," greeted Wes, with a little wave of his hand. "How's it going?"

"Can't complain," replied Denise, "So tell us a bit out yourself."

"Well, I grew up on Pummelo Island, until I was sent to the Orange Isle Boarding School," started Wes.

"Denise and I met up at the Orange Isle Boarding School," butted in Alisha.

"Well that's where Tim and I met up too," continued Wes, "We were best of friends until we graduated two years ago. After that, Tim went back to Kumquat Island and I came back here, but we still have been in contact. However, I wasn't expecting Tim to be here. So, imagine my surprise, when I see Tim down the street, and next thing you know, here we are," finished Wes.

"And later on Wes and I are going to have a battle for good times sake," added on Tim, "So you guys can come watch later?"

It was then that all four of the rangers' communicators went off.

"Um, us three need to go," said Alisha, motioning towards herself, Denise and Samuel, before they ran out of the restaurant.

"What about you Tim?" Wes asked, "Do you need to go as well?"

"No, I think that it can wait," hastily replied Tim as he switched his communicator off.


The Abyss

"What's wrong?" asked Samuel as he materialized.

"Yesterday when Spectre attacked Valencia Island with Goo-Gunk he did something else. I fought against him, and sadly lost, and therefore was unable to prevent what he did," replied Thresh.

"Which would be?" Alisha asked.

"He resurrected four beings that I imprisoned years ago. They wrecked havoc with Spectre until my previous group of rangers and I were able to defeat them. But instead of destroying them there and then I imprisoned them under Valencia Island, where I thought that Spectre was unable to find them."

"So who exactly are they?" Alisha asked once again.

"The strongest of the four was Ophelia, she was able to destroy entire villages with no effort. The second strongest was Mulch, who's giant hammer was able to create earthquakes. The third strongest was Xynexia, a flirtatious Jynx-woman who was able to charm anyone she wanted. The last of the four was Opie, Ophelia's son. I never actually saw him fight but my rangers had told me to never let his mother bless him with a leaf stone," replied Thresh, making a picture appear for each general.

It was then that a klaxon sounded and red lights began to flash.

"What's going on?" Samuel asked as he covered his ears.

"Spectre has sent four monsters down to Pummelo Island," replied Drake as he managed to turn the klaxon and lights off.

"Remember rangers, be careful," warned Thresh.

"Right," replied Samuel, "Orange Isles, Assemble!"

"Mikan Island!"

"Navel Island!"

"Trovita Island!"


Pummelo Island

"Hey remember that time we wanted to find out what happened during lunch?" asked Wes, as he ate his lunch.

"Yeah, I do," replied Tim, "Boy, weren't we disappointed when we found out that they didn't do anything extraordinary."

"Hey listen up," said Wes, "Do you like Alisha?"

"Why would you ask that?" Tim replied with a question of his own.

"It's kind of obvious that she has a big time crush on you," answered Wes.

"Well, I must admit that she is quite cute," said Tim. "And I could see myself with her, but I'm just not quite sure. What do you think of the others?"

"Well Denise is alright, but Samuel is a cutie," answered Wes.

"Well I don't know if he is quite into guys," said Tim, with a smile on his face.

After that the pair stopped talking, focusing more on eating their lunches, which were a Tauros Burger and a Goldeen Mornay.

The three rangers teleported to the outskirts of Pummelo Island, where they found Ophelia, Xynexia and Mulch waiting, with a pram that presumably contained Opie.

"Hey you!" called out Alisha.

The four beings turned around and saw the three rangers.

"Ah, the Poke Rangers," said Ophelia, "Zuguys, ATTACK!"

The rangers looked at Ophelia with a confused look on their masked faces before several creatures materialized. The creatures were human-sized, and humanoid. However, they had blue skin and the head of Zubats, with the wings of a Zubat coming out of their backs. The Zuguys charged at the rangers, who promptly brought out their weapons. The Zuguys swarmed the rangers, separating into three large groups.

"Get back you creeps!" yelled out Denise as she slashed with her Ton Gloves.

The Zuguys paid no attention to the yellow ranger's words, instead they repeatedly punched and kicked her, which was a big mistake.

"THUNDER!" roared Denise, as her anger flared up.

At first nothing happened, and then the Zuguys were flung back by an enormous bolt of lightning that shot down from the sky.

"My, my, she has a bit of a temper," commented Mulch as he watched as the Zuguys were destroyed. "She's mine!"

"Take that and that," said Samuel as he sliced down one Zuguy after another.

The Zuguys did not even bother to move the bodies of their dead comrades, instead they continued to swarm the pink ranger, who soon had to turn to defending himself. However, this soon turned out to be a bad idea as a Zuguy took a hold of his pitchfork.

"Give that back," grunted Samuel as he wrenched his weapon back, proceeding to spin it around. "HYPER BEAM!"

A beam of pure energy burst from the spinning pitchfork and ripped through the horde of Zuguys.

"I love a man in pink," said Xynexia, "I think I'll take him."

"Then that leaves me with little miss blue," said Ophelia.

Alisha was having trouble at first, until she discovered that by pressing a button on the side of her blasters that they converted into a pair of daggers by making blades of ice. After she discovered that Alisha was able to slash down the horde of Zuguys quiet easily. However soon she tired of that and instead decided to try something else, turning her blaster back into proper blasters.

"Hydro Pump!" she yelled out.

Twin streams of high-pressured water burst from the blasters, easily destroying the Zuguys.

"Well aren't you quite the champion," Ophelia said mockingly, moments before she grabbed Alisha's shoulder and threw her into the ground. "But you aren't that good."

Alisha picked herself up and charged towards Ophelia. Ophelia stood still until Alisha was less than five centimetres away from her. Then she straightened out her arm and coat hangered the blue ranger.

Meanwhile Xynexia and Mulch had double-teamed against Denise and Samuel. Denise tried just to fight against Mulch, but Xynexia always seemed to be in the way. Samuel was trying to protect Denise from any serious hits but Mulch was able to hit without the pink ranger noticing.

"Are you alright Denise?" Samuel asked when Denise was smashed in the back by Mulch.

"Yeah, but I think that we may need Tim," replied the yellow ranger, "These guys are just too strong."

"Hey pink boy," called out Xynexia.

Samuel turned around and then suddenly Xynexia planted a big kiss on his helmet. When she let go the pair just stood there for a moment before Samuel slammed his pitchfork into Xynexia's stomach.

"What!" screeched the Jynx monster, "All men fall victim to my kiss of love."

"Yeah, but in case you noticed I am wearing a helmet, so your kiss didn't affect me," replied Samuel.


Pummelo Island

Tim and Wes had been catching up with each other for over an hour, and Tim could honestly say that he was enjoying himself.

"So sounds like you've been living the life," commented Tim.

"Yeah, it's been pretty good for me, but I think it's time for me to get a good job and settle down," said Wes.

"But you're only twenty," said the black ranger. "You still have a long time left before you should settle down."

Wes was about to say something when Tim's communicator went off again.

"Do you have to be somewhere?" asked Wes.

"Yeah, I do," admitted Tim, "But I don't want to have to cut our meeting short because of it."

"Well, you are living here right?" asked Wes, continuing when Tim nodded his head. "Then we can meet up again."

"Thanks," said Tim before he got up and half ran/half walked away.

As soon as he had managed to fins an abandoned alley Tim teleported.


The Abyss

"What's wrong?" asked Tim as he teleported in.

Thresh explained to Tim about Spectre's four generals and how the other rangers were currently fighting them.

"I'm on my way," said Tim. "Orange Isles, Assemble!"

"Kumquat Island!"


Pummelo Island

The black ranger appeared at the outskirts of Pummelo Island to see that the other three rangers were surrounded by Zubat-like creatures and three of Spector's generals.

"Tim!" called out Alisha. "Thank God you're here!"

"Well if it isn't the big bad leader of the Poke Rangers," mocked Ophelia. "You don't look like you could even defeat a Zuguy."

"Oh yeah?" questioned Tim before his staff materialized. "Dark Pulse!"

A large ball of dark energy blasted out of the staff's Houndoom head and completely obliterated a small group of Zuguys.

"Settle down black ranger," said Ophelia. "No need to get worked up."

Tim glared at Ophelia, even though only he could tell, and swung his staff again, sending another Dark Pulse attack out. Ophelia simply put her hand out and stopped the attack, before she simply absorbed it.

"You do know that I have had centuries of experience while you are just starting out?" rhetorically asked Ophelia. "And on that note I bid you adieu."

With that Ophelia, Mulch, Xynexia and Opie disappeared.

"That was really random," stated Samuel.

"Something doesn't seem right about what just happened," said Tim before the four rangers were teleported back to the Abyss.


The Abyss

"That didn't seem right," Tim said to Thresh, "Why would they have teleported off when they looked like they had the advantage?"

"They must be planning something," replied Thresh, "Knowing Spectre like I do, then he has something up his sleeve. Rangers you are dismissed until you are required again."

"Do you know what Spectre is up to?" asked Drake as the rangers left.

"I might have an inkling," said Thresh, but that was all he would say.
