LAST TIME ON POWER RANGERS: THE WISH TO SAVE THE WORLD...
A dark room is shown. There is nothing in the room except a single throne that sits on a pedestal. It slowly spins around and a lone dark figure is sitting in it.
"It has been a year since those, those KIDS tricked me in the desert." The figure said. "But, now! I finally have what I need to defeat them!" The figure stood up and walked out into the light to reveal Kamenwati. He walked forward and slammed his hand down onto a button which made the whole room light up. "THIS, is the dawning of a NEW era!" He laugh maniacally as hundreds of foot soldiers from all seasons of Power Rangers raised their hands and made noises of acceptance.
Chapter 7
The gang and Ms. Watkins were just finished their meal when Keith let out a loud belch. He quickly covered his mouth and everyone stared at him.
"'Scuse me." He said muffled.
After another few seconds of staring, everyone at the table started to laugh, even Ms. Watkins. She sighed. "How good it is to be back with you guys. You were probably my best class and I miss the time we spent in Egypt. I wish we could do it again."
"Maybe we can." Mike said. "I mean, we've grown up a lot in the past year and we've got money of our own instead of our parents paying for some if not all."
"Yeah!" Jessica said. "We should pool our money and go back. Maybe we can unlock more secrets on 'You-Know-Who'."
"Jess, you sound like we're from Harry Potter." Michelle joked.
"Well, it's not like we should say his name out loud. It might conjure him or something like that."
"Yeah." Ryen said. "Kinda like 'Beetlejuice'." Everyone laughed
Keith got serious for a second and leaned into the center of the table. Seeing this, everyone did the same. "By the way." He whispered as he looked around. "What did you do with the, you-know."
Jon thought for a second. "Oh. You mean the l-a-m-p?" Mike nodded. "It's at my house inside of a box in my closet. Nothing has happened to it since we got back, but I hid it just to make sure."
Everyone made a "Hmm" sound as if to say, "Really?" They all sat back in their chairs.
"I wonder if 'What's-his-name' is gonna come back." Ryen said.
"I don't think it's "IF" he comes back." Jon said. "More like "WHEN" he comes back."
"I agree." There was a pause and everyone's head turned quickly to see Ms. Watkins with a finger on her chin in deep thought.
"Have you given this thought?" Jessica asked.
"Of course I have. After that day, the thought has always been in the back of my head that one day he might come back."
"Wow." Michelle exclaimed. "I never thought, of all people, YOU would be thinking that."
"Right?" Mike said. "I figured you would think something more like, 'I hope he doesn't back. Or else he might target the kids.' Right?"
"Well, I did think that. But after I saw you guys take care of what he sent after you, I figured you could defend yourselves for a certain period of time. Not to mention, I figured you all would be thinking the same thing. So, if anything big happened, you all would some how get together and decide what to do."
"Wow." Jessica exclaimed.
"That's Ms. Watkins for ya." Ryen said. "Always thinking ahead." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Just then the waitress came to the table. "Is there anything else I can-" That's all she could get out before they all heard screams from outside. The gang looked at each other, got up and shot for the door.
They walked outside and looked around as fires had broken out in different places and people were running towards them. Jon stopped a guy. "What's going on?" He asked.
"There are these weird creatures wreaking everything." The guy said. "There are so many. They are being lead by this guy who is floating in the air." The guy took off running again as everyone's eyes opened as wide as they could.
"He's back." Jon said. There was a slight pause. Jon's face went from surprised to determined. "He wants us. We have to get to him before he hurts anyone else." Everyone nodded in agreement.
The 6 ran off as Ms. Watkins was standing still stunned at what was happening. They rounded a corner after more people ran frantically from that direction. As they did, they saw Kamenwati floating in the air as random grunts from Power Ranger seasons were running around breaking things.
"More! Break more things! Cause more chaos! Those kids will never let innocent people get hurt!" Kamenwati yelled.
"You!" Keith Yelled.
Kamenwati looked down at the group. "Ah!" He said. "It's good to see you all again. And, might I mention, for the last time!" He raised both hands in the air and all the grunts stopped. He then pointed both arms towards the group. "Get them! And tear them to shreds!" He yelled and laughed maniacally as the grunts ran towards the group.
"Looks like it's round two guys." Mike said.
"Let's make sure there is no round three. Got it?" Jon yelled. "Yokai!" The others yelled, and then they ran into battle.
The group held their own for a little while but soon they were getting tired and overwhelmed. Jon got thrown to the ground by a Putty and Quantron and Mike got thrown in the air by a Tyrannodrone and Piranhatron. Keith got drop-kicked by both a Cog and a Batling and Ryen was kicked in the stomach by a Tenga, then punched by a Triptoid. Michelle and Jessica were dragged by the arm by a couple of Grinders until they threw the girls into the already big pile that was the group.
They all huddled together and looked around as the many grunts were surrounding them.
"So, what do we do now, fearless leader?" Keith said looking at Jon.
Jon did a double take. "Me?" Keith nodded. "Well. Um. I could try wishing again."
"That was a fluke." Mike said. "I don't think that'll work again."
"Well, do you have any other ideas?" Jon responded. No one said anything. "Okay then." He stood up as all the grunts and Kamenwati watched curiously. He stood tall and proud and yelled out, "I wish we were someplace safe!"
Nothing happened. Seeing this Kamenwati laughed. "Do you think that would help you? The only one who would hear that is locked in that lamp and he can't hear you." He brought his right arm in the air and the grunts copied him. In one giant wave they all brought down their arms and lightning came out of their arms and weapons towards the group. The lightning got closer and closer. The group huddled together in terror.
"Looks like this is it!" Ryen called out.
"I'm sorry guys!" Jon yelled.
They all yelled awaiting the shock of electricity...but it never came. They slowly opened their eyes only to realize that they were no longer in the street, but inside of the parking lot where Jon's car was.
"What just happened?" Michelle asked.
"Not sure." Keith said.
"It looks like," Jon said. "We teleported somehow."
"But how?" Mike asked.
"That's how." Jessica said.
They all turned around to see what Jessica was looking at and right in front of them was a seven foot tall man with a tanned body wearing a strange outfit. They starred for a while and finally the man spoke.
"Ah! It's so good to be out of that thing." He said while stretching. "I'm not sure how but I was suddenly woken up from my sleep by someone yelling out a wish. Who might that be?"
Everyone, mouths agape still looking at the man, pointed at Jon.
"I see." The man said placing a giant hand on Jon's shoulder. "Well, I'm glad I made it in time." Everyone was still in their trances. "Oh c'mon!" The man said. "Lighten up a little."
"But," Jon said. "Who are you?"
"Did I forget to introduce myself?" Everyone nodded. "The name is Baraka."
"And, are you a genie?" Asked Keith.
"Well, I have magical powers if that's what you mean." Keith nodded.
"Well, then I guess I am a genie." He said chuckling.
By now they had stood up and the shock was wearing off.
Baraka went to each of them and nodded as he looked them up and down. "I can see why I was brought to you. You have good hearts and white souls."
"White, souls?" Mike asked.
Baraka turned to him. "Yes. White souls. It's what my people say when the person is of good blood and means good. I can sense that you will all do good things."
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here." Said a voice from behind them. They all looked to see that it was Kamenwati.
"I had a feeling you were back. There would only be one reason I was reawakened. And it looks like I was right. It's been awhile, hasn't it?"
"Yes, it has. But I have a feeling, too. A feeling that you will not be so lucky this time around."
"Oh, yeah? What makes you think that?"
"Oh, I don't know." Kamenwati said scratching his chin. "Maybe this!" He then threw both arms out to his side and dozens on grunts came out of no where.
"Wha-what are those?" Baraka asked.
"They're from a TV show we watched when we were kids." Jon said.
"What is a TV?"
"We'll let you know later. Right now we need to get out of here!"
"Right." Baraka threw his arms in the air and the seven of them disappeared.
Kamenwati scoffed. "I knew he'd pull that trick. But he'll be back. He'll be back." He then moved his right arm quickly and then vanished with the grunts.
Just as they all disappeared they reappeared in Jon's apartment. Jon slowly brought his head up and looked around. "Hey!" He exclaimed. "How did you know to go to my house? More so, how did you know where my house was?"
"It's all simple." Baraka said. "I used telepathy to go into your mind and find out where you lived."
Jon grabbed his head and looked up. "Uh, it was cool in all that you brought us here, but can you not do it again?" Baraka laughed.
"Uh, no offense Jon," Ryen interrupted. "But I think we have other problems right now." Keith had gotten up and turned on the TV to see if anyone was talking about what happened when he found breaking news about a current attack downtown.
"There has got to be something we can do!" Mike said as he slammed a fist onto the kitchen island.
"There is nothing we can do." Michelle said.
"Yeah, it's not like we have powers." Jessica added.
Suddenly, Jon stood up so fast it scared everyone. "I've got it!" Everyone looked at him in both shock and worriment.
"What have you got?" Keith said as he was startled so much that he looked away from the TV.
Jon turned quickly to Baraka. "Are you a genie that grants wishes? I mean you've granted mine twice now. Does that mean I get one more?"
Baraka just stood there thinking for a second. "You did set me free from that wretched place. I guess you do get three wishes. Though, I won't disappear as like in some of your CP shows." He said.
"Actually it's-" is all Ryen got out before Jon interrupted him.
"Then if you can grant one more wish, I may have a way to stop Kamenwati." Baraka nodded and Jon ran into a different room. He ran back out with a pad of paper and a mechanical pencil. He kicked Ryen off the couch, who was no longer watching the TV, and slammed the pad of paper on the table. He clicked the pencil twice to get some lead out and after a quick second to think he started to write.
