The Old Zord Find
It was a peaceful day in Oak Harbor, Washington. With me however, I was trying to find the source of a strange energy signature. I didn't tell anyone, because I wanted to prove myself. I was in a forest, neering a cave when I heard a strange noise behind me. I turned around to find a bunch of Arkadimon surrounding me. 'Good thing I took the Zhuqiao-sword, before I left,' I thought. I took out the sword, and slashed my way through the Arkadimon, to the cave. "Should be safe in here for the time, being," I whispered to myself, "Azulongmon, I'm in a cave surrounded by Arkadimon. I'm sending you the coordinates." "What are you doing out there by yourself?" the azer blue dragon asked, "You should've at least told us where you were going. The rangers are on their way." "Thanks, but tell them to be careful, it might be a trap," I warned, noticing the Arkadimon, facing a new comer. I found the energy readings, were strongest in the cave, when the rangers showed up. I went deeper into the cave, and found a fork in it. "This seems familiar. One way is a little misty, while the other doesn't have the energy signature. Great," I groaned. I went the way with the mist, and found myself at the Dark Ocean. "According to these readings, the energy signature, is coming from a nearby building, that oddly resembled the old Command Center. This oughta be good, 'cause I'm not wanting to come here if it's not important." I walked towards the building, not knowing the huge shadow behind me.
Back with the others, "Where'd Azulongmon say Derek was? Tommy asked, as they walked into the cave. "He said Derek was in here," Kim responded. "Let's just hurry up an find him. This cave gives me the creeps," Emily commented. "You know, that reminds me of something," Scott said. "Same here. This reminds me of that time we were in the cave of nightmares," Kimberly said. "That must've been before Jason and the others left for the peace conference," James commented. "Jason and the others left for a peace conference?" Tommy asked. "Spoilers," the three young rangers chouressed. "It's a dead end. Where could Derek have gone?" Kim asked. Before anyone could answer, their communicators went off. "Rangers, we can't get in contact with Derek," Azulongmon informed. "We ended up at a dead end. Can you guys think of any place that could block communication with each other?" Tommy asked worriedly. "The only place that comes to mind is the Dark Ocean, but no one has been able to access it, besides the digidestined when they were upset, afraid, or guilt ridden," LPV informed them. "Derek couldn't have gone there… Scott, what did you mean when you said this reminded you of something?" Tommy questioned. "In the digimon anime, before the Dark Ocean, there was a Dark Cave. It swallowed Sora and Matt, down into it. It made them focus on negative thoughts and feelings. No one has seen it since than. Though the cave that was leaking energy from the Dark Ocean, in Ken's base, was similar. The Dark Ocean might've been created from the dark energy Matt and Sora released to the cave!" Scott exclaimed out of realisation.
Meanwhile, I was looking through this dark place, and found a map of some kind. The island looked like the prison from, 'The Count Of Monte Cristo'. On the map was a code to access a Zord. "Why would there be a Zord on that island? It's just a pri-oh!" I exclaimed, "The Zord must've been a defence system they used! But why's it a phoenix?" I stashed the map away, and hurried as fast as I could, while grabbing another map, in the process. When I got to the beach, I saw the real problem with coming here. "I've been waiting a long time for you to come back to your creation, Motomiya," Dragomon said. "You've got the wrong idea. My names Derek 'Du', and your a lot bigger close up," I told him trying to see his face. Dragomon was bigger than mount everest! "I'm not going to fall for your lies! You created and trapped me in this prison! I could've ruled the digital world if it weren't for you! Now You Shall Pay!" He said, about to kill me, when I was teleported back to the 'Command Center'. "A second later and I would've been octopus food. Thanks guys," I said. "Do you have any idea how stupid that was? You could've been killed," Tommy scolded. "I almost was. I was confronted by Dragomon, after I got these from a Dark Command Center," I told them, while pulling out the two maps. "Why did he want you? No offence, but your not a digidestined," Scott replied. "He thought I created it, and sent him there. My question is, how'd Zords end up in the time of the french revolution?" I asked. "The Lion and Phoenix Zords! Those were sent to protect the next one who proved worthy of my power! Whoever lifts the V-Sabor, is the one that's truly worthy!" LPV exclaimed. "We might not even need this power. You said it yourself, you're the most powerful. We might not need that power in order to fight Daemon," I shot at him. He was silent for a while, 'til the alarms went off. "Do we ever get a break?" Derek asked. "Technically we already had our day off yesterday," Tommy added, "Back To Action!"
Etemon was attacking the city until the rangers showed up. "You rangers are going to here my new hit single. Dark Network!" Etemon called out, as he through a black and green ball toward the rangers. When it hit, the rangers were sent flying a couple of feet back. "Now for some real fun, Concert-" Etemon was cut off when I hit him with one of the blasters. "My aim's better than I thought," I said, examining the gun. "Lucky shot pipsqueak. You can't do anything else anyway, you're just a kid. You're no ranger!" Etemon spat. "Being a ranger doesn't have to do with power. It has to do with the light in our hearts, and the willingness to do whatever it takes to save people. That's something I've learned, and will never forget. I'm done running and hiding. You're going down Etemon!" I shot back. "You'll be singing a different tune after this. Concert Crush!" Etemon called out. I stood my ground, and instead of making me want to quit, it didn't affect me one bit. "Wasn't that supposed to do something?" I asked. "But how?! That attack should've left you running!" Etemon yelled. This bought the rangers enough time to get the Sovereign Cannon ready, and fire at him. Than he went to giant mode. "Tommy, the Huanglongmon Zord is finished," I told him. "Alright than, Sovereign Zords, Rise Up!" Tommy called. I went back to the 'Command Center' because I didn't want to get trampled by the Zords. "So, did you act out because you wanted to prove to me you were worthy of my power?" LPV asked. "It's because I had to prove to myself that I can help them. Power Ranger or not, I'm not letting my team fight alone," I told him truthfully.
"If you want to prove yourself, you've done the first part. Now you have the second part."
"Like I told you yesterday, we might not need that power. If we ever do, than I'll see if I can retrieve it."
'Perfect, everything's in place. My past self just has to get the sword, before Titamon shows up,' LPV/my future self thought. Just than the rangers showed up. "How'd everything go?" I asked all of them. "Monkey but, won't be showing his ugly face for a while. Unless he dose the same thing he did last time," Scott answered. We started to discuss about what might happen in the future. "So we all agree, if a mega level digimon comes, than we'll try to get the V-Saber," Tommy summed up. "Yes," we all chouressed. "'Till than, how about we look for a hang out place? All ranger teams have them. Mainly it's a restaurant,"James asked. "How about the Pizza Factory? It's right down the hill from my house, we could go there when we want to hang out," I suggested. After that, we all left our separate ways.
