The search for the Wind Emerald continued into the next day for Hanzo. It certainly wasn't an easy mission. But Hanzo was worried about Tyrell's well being. It had upset him that he was told, by Tyrell, to abandon him. And even though he had huge faith in Tyrell's skills and resourcefulness, he didn't like the odds. What's more, he also knew that if Azalia got word of Tyrell being captured, she would become blind with rage, making her truly hopeless to defeat.
Using his abilities to sense though the wind (he had those abilities as a warrior of the Dragosyn before the whole ordeal began) he sensed a lot of things. First, the direction in which the energy reader was picking up was right. Two, he felt two large objects enter Mirinoi's atmosphere. One of them, he recognized as a quick travel vessel that Azalia used when she needed to get through space quickly.
Hanzo: Better find it fast.
Hanzo began to go into the direction of the energy reading. But before he got to far, he sensed two more presences. He turned around, to see the silver and pink Astro rangers. He smiled, as they looked at him.
Hanzo: Don't be alarmed. I'm not a bad guy. Though there are some on the planet now, unfrotunate as it is.
Pink Astro: How would you know?
Hanzo: Same reason I'm here. A very powerful object. One, that...you know what, i'm not going to say it, because it;s obvious.
Silver Astro: I'm not sure if we can trust you, to be fair.
That's when a beeping sound was heard. The silver Astro Ranger answered it. It was Andros.
Andros: Don't worry about him guys. He's one of the good guys.
Silver Astro: And you know this how?
Andros: I'm with his teammates.
Hanzo muttered a few cuss words. The Astro rangers nodded, trusting Andros's word on it. They both powered down, to reveal two blonds.
Hanzo: Zhane and Karone. I knew it was you two. I knew studying Tommy Oliver's video diary of the power rangers would prove useful for knowing the identities of all my allies.
Karone: good call. But...are you a ranger?
Hanzo: Afraid not. But I can tell you what you're seeking.
Hanzo began to explain the whole situation to the two rangers. Meanwhile, on the Astro Megaship, Heather was fidgeting a bit. Jake noticed this, and needed to know what was concerning his childhood friend.
Jake: Heather...what's wrong?
Heather: It's...Tyrell. I sense he's been captured.
Jake: That's not good.
Heather: You're right. And I'm not going to stand by. I'm going after him.
Jake: Wait. Whatever force that captured him must be strong. I'm not letting you go alone, or Tyrell will kill me.
Just then, a grunt sound was heard. It came from Ryder. He looked at the two. He sighed. It was a precarious situation indeed.
Ryder: I would have rather you guys told me. But yes, I agree, that Tyrell has to be rescued, if he is captured. However, finding that emerald is just as important. You guys go, but don't get yourselves captured. And show those creeps who did it, that they picked the wrong ranger team to mess with.
Heather: Thanks Ryder. I won't let you down.
Ryder: I have faith in you guys. I don;t think you could unless you caused the extinction of a species.
Andros, Karmyn and Carl all entered into the hallway as well. Andros nodded to them.
Karmyn: Let's do this guys.
Dragon Rangers: Dragon Force...DRAGON POWER!
Andros: LET'S ROCKET!
The six rangers morphed. The dragon rangers all proceeded to the cargo bay, while Andros got on his galaxy glider. He began to search for the emerald. The dragon rangers would follow. After about a hundred yards, Jake and Heather split from the group. And it wouldn't be to long until they got to where Tyrell and the Galaxy rangers were being held.
They were lucky all the guards were asleep. Heather snuck in, and freed Tyrell. He sighed, and embraced the white dragon ranger.
Tyrell: thanks. No telling what these idiots would have done.
Jake: What are they?
Tyrell: They're called Swabbies. They're apparently from a different galaxy that wound up here a few years ago.
A horn then sounded. Tyrell cursed under his breath, as he morphed into his ranger form. The Swabbies all woke up, and were ready for battle. Heather jumped up, and gathered all the light energy she could, and let it explode, blinding all the Swabbies. Meanwhile, Jake had freed the Galaxy rangers. But the Swabbies had recovered. It was then, that something unexpected happened.
The Swabbies were being attacked from somebody else. Everyone turned to see who it was. Tyrell smirked, knowing what they saw, was but an advantage, despite not their intention.
Leo: What are those creatures?
Tyrell: Komododrones. The fighting force of our enemy, the evil dragon queen. So...I guess my mother is here afterall.
Tyrell turned, to see both Lothor and Azalia, hovering over the Komododrones. Azalia pointed forward, and the Komododrones went in and attacked the Swabbies. It was then, that all the rangers made their escape, leaving the two armies to fight.
Kai: something tells me that we haven't seen the last of Scourge, or those two.
Tyrell: you let me handle those two if we see them. They're mine.
Damon: Hey, you have to let us help in defeating them, otherwise, it will be hard to.
Tyrell: True, but my vendetta is kinda personal. See, they're my evil parents. They don't like the fact I'm a good guy. Much less the fact that I have a high control over the chaos element.
Maya: That's...not good.
Tyrell: I know, but something tells me we'll be just fine. The best we can do now is to-
Suddenly, a large explosion happened in the mountains. A few more happened after that. Tyrell growled. Heather looked at him with concern.
Jake: The signal...it's fading. But it was definitely in that direction.
Tyrell: Damn. Only one of two possibilities could have happened. One...the Wind emerald has been destroyed, or two, it's already been taken. We gotta punch it now!
The rangers did, and immediately flew over to the mountain. They all saw the other dragon rangers there as well. Also, they saw two monsters. A silver scorpion warrior, and a lady covered in varios vines. All the rangers landed down, ready to fight.
Vine Lady: Scorpio...I told you that blast was to powerful. You've attracted a lot of attention. Not to mention we were suppose to retrieve it...not destroy the wind emerald.
This made all the rangers tense up. Scorpio chuckled for a second.
Scorpio: Dreflora...at least we don't have to worry about the emerald being a threat to Azalia no more. Also, they shouldn't have made themselves so obvious.
Dreflora: I know. Afterall rangers...you're caught in my vines.
It was then, that many tentacles of vines quickly wrapped themselves around all the rangers. Ryder growled. He used his fire powers to free himself from his inprisonment.
Scorpio: Oooohhhh...looks like we got ourselves one with some fire. I got this one.
Dreflora: You better. Soon, they will all be rendered helpless, and the queen shall take her spoils of war.
Ryder: You'll never get your hands on the emeralds. Not to mention that I am the strongest of them all. But it's no surprise, considering that Red Rangers are known for being exceptionally strong. FIRE FURY!
Ryder transformed into his battlizer form, and dashed after two clashed, but Ryder was proving his amazing strength. He kept parrying all of Scorpio's attacks.
Ryder: This is getting boring, real quickly. Time for you to feel the heat.
Ryder crossed his blades, and a massive vortex of fire burst out,hitting Scorpio. But then, he was hit with a powerful dark blast. It floored him. More were fired from above, before Scorpio stung Ryder, paralyzing him. Scorpio looked up, to see Azalia and Lothor.
Lothor: Good work. Looks like we've won at last.
Azalia: Yup. Now, I shall take the emeralds.
Azalia approached Heather first, and raised her staff. But before she could do anything, she was knocked backwards by a really powerful wind blast. Everyone looked up, to see Hanzo, hovering above them, with his wings outstretched. He then began to land.
Azalia: I should have known that you would interfere. But you have made a grave mistake Hanzo.
Hanzo: Shut your mouth tramp. You've been fighting a war for over thirteen thousand years, and always on the losing end. Why Azalia? You don't have hope. You don't have something to truly live for. Perhaps that's why it was so easy for you to take advantage of me. But Tyrell and I, along with every single ranger, we have something worth fighting for. Peace. And you know something...it's about time I joined back into the fight. Only this time, I know what I'm fighting for.
Azalia: Touching words, but they're empty.
Hanzo: We'll see. But let me tell you another thing. About the emeralds. Like various source of power that has given rangers the tools they need to fight, the emeralds choose their wielders. If one dies or gives it up, another will take it's place.
It was then, that Hanzo revealed in his hand, the brilliantly glowing blue wind emerald. It glowed strong in his hand. Azalia growled. She didn't like what she was seeing. Hanzo then lifted his sleeve up, to reveal an open dragon morpher. He quickly placed the emerald in, and sealed the morpher closed. He smirked.
Hanzo: I've been waiting a long time for this. And for the first time in thirteen thousand years, I shall proudly fight, side by side with my mother. And you're going to pay for everything you've done. To the universe...and me.
Azalia: ATTACK!
Scorpio and Lothor both attacked. But Hanzo dodged it, and the assailants hit each other.
Lothor: Watch where you're going you idiot!
Hanzo landed and used his katana, to create a powerful wind wave to slice open all the vines. Heather went to curing Ryder of his paralysis. Hanzo landed. He then got ready to morph.
Hanzo: DRAGON FORCE! DRAGON POWER! POWER OF THE WIND!
Hanzo transformed. It was almost like Lauren's, except there was no skirt. The wind staff appeared, but glowed. The Katana glowed as well. They merged, to form the Wind Schimitar.
Hanzo: Nice. Now Azalia. The next round has begun. You ready.
Azalia growled. Her two monsters went in for the attack. But all the rangers were ready for this one. They would not lose without a fight.
A/N: Yup. I'm sure most of you figured out that Hanzo was going t be the new Wind Ranger, but now it's official. The next chapter will conclude the Lost Galaxy Arc. I hope you guys have enjoyed. And remember..review pls. They greatly help with inspiration lol.
