"You ok to fight?" Avril asked as she dropped into a fighting stance.
"Ha! With these creeps? Watch me!" Tyzonn nodded with confidence, before rushing past her, attacking the Lava Lizards. Within minutes, the ones behind him were knocked aside.
"Yeah!" Avril laughed, quickly joining him. She flipped forwards a few times, before landing a group of them. With easy she easily fought off her share of Lava Lizards. Nearby Tyzonn had been surround by more, as they moved in on him, he turned into a silver liquid and sank to the ground, moving behind them before reforming behind them.
"Huh, interesting. Nice to know not everything's changed!" Tyzonn said looking at his clawed hands.
"That was pretty amazing!" Avril smiled, having watched him. The two made quick work of the Lava Lizards, before regrouping. "So you can turn into a some kind of silver stuff?" She asked as they kept moving.
"Mercurcy." Tyzonn corrected.
"Sorry." She apologized. "So, is something that your people can do?" She asked. He nodded. "Ok, you have to tell me; What happened to you? Why did you react that way when you saw yourself in the water's reflection?" She stopped and turned to him.
"I don't even know where to start." Tyzonn admitted with a shrug, looking down at the ground to avoid Avril's gaze.
"Then let's start with this." She reached into the pocket of her blue jeans and revealed the crystal shard. Tyzonn gasped after looking up, he reached for it.
"Where did you get that?" He asked as she gave it to him.
"Found it when you, and that dragon ran off with the parchment." Avril answered.
"It's the only thing I brought with me from my home planet." Tyzonn explained as he clutched it close to him. "Thank you." He said with sincerely.
"What made you come to Earth?" Avril asked. "And I've got a feeling you're not here for the Jewels."
Tyzonn sighed heavily. "I came here in search of something far more important to me then any mystical jewel." There was pain in his voice. "But my search was cut short. Moltor knew of my people's power, and wanted me to join his army." His voice is distant as he thought back to what happened. "I refused. So, he turned me into the monster I am now, and destroyed my crystal. I once did not look so different to your kind." He explained.
"I'm searching for something too." Avril told him, pain in her own voice. "My search has brought me here to Los Angels, and I help the Rangers when I can."
"May I ask what you are looking for?" Tyzonn asked curiously.
"My boyfriend." Avril walked over to a fallen tree trunk, and sat down. "He disappeared about the same time the crown was found."
Tyzonn walked over to her, and sat down next to her.
"You mentioned him before." He said gently.
"His name's Chip." She smiled a little.
Tyzonn blinked. "Is that a common name here on Earth?" He asked, and Avril laughed.
"It's a nickname." She explained with a giggle. "His name is Charlie." She sighed, turning to look up at the sky. "I wish I knew where he is, or if he's even ok."
Tyzonn slowly reached up and gently put a claw on her shoulder as gently as he could. "I am sorry for asking."
Avril looked at him with a smile. "It's alright." She reached under her shirt and pulled out a necklace, that has a Garuda dangling from it. "Before he left for his mission last year, Chip gave me this." She let the necklace dangle.
Tyzonn turned to look away. "The one I'm searching for is named Vella."
Avril turned to him. "We will help you." She said firmly, and he turned to look at her sharply.
"How?" He gasped.
"State of the art tech." Avril smiled. "And Rose is a genius. And if the brain fails, I've got my magic."
"But your friends ... they don't trust me." Tyzonn hesitated, though the offer was very tempting. "Why would they help me?"
"Because the Red and Green Rangers are my cousins, and the Rangers' mentor is my uncle."
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Daggeron paced back and forth like a wild animal. The Rangers all watched him, Leanbow was sitting near a corner, healing Arielle's ankle, he was rubbing a cool flow of water on her bare skinned ankle in a gently and smooth touch.
"Where is she?" Daggeron huffed as he continued to pace.
"Daggeron, my friend." Leanbow paused in his work, to turn to look at him. "You are starting to over react. This is Hotaru we're talking about."
"She's supposed to be at the Tribunal Of Magic!" Daggeron rounded on him. "She is suppose to be prepairing for."-
"I am fully perpaired!" Avril announced as she walked into the Ranger base, behind her father, causing him to spin around.
"Where have you been?" Her father demanded. "Mystic Mother."-
"Mystic Mother gave me promission to help when I was needed." His daughter cut him off. "Besides." She held out the parchment. "Anyone order the full version of the parchment?" She grinned as the Rangers rushed over.
"How did you get the whole parchment?" Tea asked, taking it. Before Tyzonn stepped out reluctantly, and the Rangers leapt back with horror.
"What's he doing here?" Will snarled, as everyone minus Hartford and Arielle dropped into a defense stance, the Rangers going for their Trackers.
Avril quickly stepped in front of Tyzonn defensively as both Daggeron, and Leanbow reached for their own morphers.
"I brought him." She said firmly.
"Hotaru." Daggeron started.
"Don't Hotaru me!" Avril yelled, stomping her foot, and folding her arms. "This is Tyzonn." She introduced, more calmly now. "He's not one of Moltor's freaky friends. Moltor turned him into a monster when he refused his army. I told him we can reverse what Motlor has done to him."
"Why should we trust him?" Arielle asked, folding her arms.
"I'm sorry about what happened before. Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt anyone." Tyzonn insisted, before the elevator dinged and the doors opened to reveal Spencer.
"Well, what are we waiting for Rangers? We've got the parchment back." Hartford said as his niece handed it over. "Let's get to work." He instructed.
And together, they all surrounded a table and tried to translate it.
"And nobody thought to tell me we were expecting a visitor?" Spencer frowned as he spotted Tyzonn.
"This is Tyzonn." Ronny pointed to the reptile creature.
"Sir." Spencer greeted him politely.
"He's cool." Will told the butler, but didn't sound to happy about it. Spencer nodded, turning on his heel and leaving.
XxXxXxXxX
For almost an hour, Rose had tried to read the parchment while everyone else had grown impatient.
"Ok, I think I translated a couple of these symbols." Rose pointed to the ones in the corner that Professor Ryan had translated. "Mountain and Diamond." She reminded.
"We already knew that we were looking for the Touru Diamond." Mack shrugged.
"Yeah, but we don't know what mountain." Will told him. "It could be anywhere on Earth."
"This is so frustrating." Avril huffed. "I'm getting a headache just looking at that thing."
"Would you care for some lemonade, sir?" Spencer arrived with a trey of drinks, offering one to Tyzonn.
"Lemonade?" He tilted his head curiously.
"It's made from lemons." Rose explained. "A citrus fruit we grow here on Earth."
Tyzonn nodded in understanding. "Citrus ... I know of this organic acid." He lifed a glass, and before any of them realized it, he turned the glass upside down, pouring the liquad all over the parchment.
"The lemons maybe a little sour." Arielle gasped. "But still good!"
"Are you crazy?" Will snarled at Tyzonn, before shoving him and making him drop the glass, which shattered on the floor. "You just cost us."- He trailed off as Rose wiped the parchment to reveal a set of numbers.
"69.35, 175.6E? Those are co-ordinates!" Tea exclaimed.
"That's the mountain we're looking for!" Will laughed.
"Nice one Ty." Ronny smiled to the alien, who shrugged.
"Ok Rangers." Hartford spoke, with a big smile. "The SHARC is fuelled up and ready to go!" He announced. The Rangers nodded and headed for the SHARC, but Tyzonn caught Mack's arm.
"Wait! Take me with you, maybe I can be of some use." He pleaded. Mack paused for a moment, before smiling and nodded.
"Sure." He led the alien out, leaving Hartford with Daggeron, Avril, Leanbow, Arielle, and Spencer.
"Will they be ok?" Arielle asked, turning to look at Leanbow, who turned to smile at her.
"Yes, they'll be just fine."
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"How are we going to get through that volcano?" Tea asked, as the Rangers and Tyzonn disembarked the SHARC at the base of the Volcano.
"We'll find a way to get the diamond out. Let's go!" Mack called, and his team nodded, but just as they started, the dragon monster from before blocked their path.
"We meet again, Tyzonn!"
"Looks like the diamond is gonna have to wait." Will sighed.
"Ready?" Mack yelled as they grabbed their Trackers.
"Ready!"
"OVERDRIVE, ACCELERATE!" They morphed.
"Kick into Overdrive, Red Ranger!"
"Kick into Overdrive, Black Ranger!"
"Kick into Overdrive, Green Ranger!"
"Kick into Overdrive, Blue Ranger!"
"Kick into Overdrive, Yellow Ranger!"
"Kick into Overdrive, Pink Ranger!"
"Call to Adventure, Power Rangers Operation Overdrive!" The Rangers called on their swords and fought off the Lava Lizards. Nearby, Tyzonn fought off the dragon, but was quickly overwhelmed. He was blasted and thrown to the ground.
"Tyzonn!" Tea called, she quickly took out the remaining Lava Lizards that surrounded her, before the she and the other Rangers ran to help Tyzonn, only to be blasted as well.
"Stay ... out of this!" Tyzonn yelled at them.
"You're nobody!" The dragon roared at them. He started to attack again, only for Tyzonn to push himself up and blast him first.
"Tyzonn!" Mack ran up to him, and helped him up as he staggered, using his staff for support. "You ok?"
"Yes." Tyzonn nodded.
"Good. How about we finish this together?" Mack asked.
"Yes, great idea!" Tyzonn agreed.
"This isn't over!" The dragon growled as it staggered towards them. He fired more power at them, but Mack was able to deflect it with his sword.
"Together!" Tyzonn called as he held his staff to Mack's sword. Calling for more power, the two swung up, and struck the dragon, throwing him backwards.
"That got him!" Ronny smiled. Tyzonn staggered, and Mack caught him quickly.
"You ok?" He asked.
"I am." Tyzonn replied, just before they heard a screech from above. Several pyterodactyl like monsters flew towards them. They shot red lights at the Rangers and Tyzonn, blasting them and throwing them to the ground.
"Excellent! Now, go to the crater and bring back the diamond!" The dragon ordered the flying monters, and with loud screeches, they flew off.
"Dad!" Mack called into his Tracker. "Tell me it's ready?" He pleaded.
"This is no video game son, here comes the real thing." Hartford responded.
"Alright! Activate Sonic Streaker!" Mack called on his new Zord, which shot through the air above.
"Go, Mack, go!" Tea cheered as Mack leapt up to the Zord. She then turned to Tyzonn. "Come on! My brother will keep them busy!"
"Hurry!" Rose agreed. Overhead Mack made easy work of the flying monsters, leaving a clear path.
After a couple of minutess, Tea and Tyzonn reached the top, before peering down into the lava.
"There it is!" Tyzonn spotted the large Diamon, sparkling in the lava.
"We're going to get killed if we touch foot in the lava." Tea groaned.
"This monster body Moltor turned me into, I can withstand it." Tyzonn told her. "I can work with this."
Tea took a few steps back. "Calling to the beast inside!" She called, waving her arms. "Unleash the Snow Leopard!"
The spirit flew out of her, startling Tyzonn.
"We need your help." Tea told her spirit, walking over to the animal. "Please, can you take Tyzonn into the volcano to get the diamond?"
The animal turned to face Tyzonn, then turned to face it's mistress. The animal gave a growl before turning and walking over to the side of the volcano, waiting for Tyzonn.
"It won't hurt me, will it?" Tyzonn asked with worry.
"She won't." Tea shook her head. "Now, if you hurt me, that'd be a totally different story."
Tyzonn walked over to the animal and leapt onto it's back, then clung to it when the animal rushed down into the volcano.
After awhile, the animal spirit returned and disappeared, and Tyzonn fell to his knees holding the diamond.
Tea smiled as Mack combined the Sonic Streaker with the Megazord to form the DriveMax UltraZord, using its power to easily destroy the dragon monster.
XxXxXxXxXx
"For you." Tyzonn held out the Touru Diamond to Zoey. It was huge in size, but as soon as it touched Zoey's hand, it shrunk down to a much smaller size.
"Thank you Tyzonn." Zoey smiled at him.
"I was happy to help." Tyzonn replied, as Zoey placed the second Jewel into a drawer where Blackbeard's Pearl was.
"Now there are two Jewels that won't fall into the wrong hands. I'm proud of you Rangers." Hartford smiled to the team.
"And I know that together, you can find the others." Tyzonn told them with confidence. A bright golden light made them all look around to see a familiar figure.
"Sentinel Knight!" Leanbow walked over to him. "Give me a good reason, why I shouldn't knock you out." He growled dangerously.
"I am sorry Leanbow." Sentinel Knight aplogized. "This is not the time nor the place."
"NOT THE TIME!" Leanbow roared, and Arielle quickly hid behind Daggeron. "You have one of my Rangers!"
"Leanbow, my friend." Daggeron said calmly, placing a hand on his shoulder. "If anyone's going to knock him out, it's going to be me."
"Moving on." Sentinel Knight cleared his throat. "Power Rangers, you are proving to be a formidable team. I wish to thank you for your courage, and commend you for finding two of the Jewels."
"It wsan't just us." Tea said. "If it wasn't for our friend Tyzonn, we never would have gotten the second Jewel." She placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Ah, the young Mercurian." Sentinel Knight nodded. "I know of your most unfortunate story." Tyzonn just lowered his head.
"With all due respect, Mr ... Knight. You're all magical and mystical, can't you do something to help him?" Dax suggested. The others nodded, looking hopeful.
"I ... do not possess that kind of power." Sentinel Knight admitted. "But ... Arielle please step forward."
Everyone turned to look in her direction. "Me?" Arielle squeaked. "But I." She trailed off.
"Child of Severus from the Tribunal Of Magic." Sentinel Knight revealed, much to everyone's shock, and Arielle looked ready to faint. "You, have the power." With that he disappeared.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Ooooh boy." Arielle looked ready to faint, Daggeron placed a gently hand on her shoulder.
"Just take a deep breath." He instructed gently, and she did. "Now, just concentrate on what you need to do."
Nodding, Arielle took a few more deep breaths, before she lifted her arms and closed her eyes, she began to glow red, then a red beam of light rammed into Tyzonn. After two minutes the alien's body was engulfted by a bright light, before the light shattered to reveal a silver color, and after a minute the silver mercury faded to reveal a human like being.
Arielle staggered and fell backwards, and Daggeron who was standing next to her, was quick to catch her.
"It worked!" Mack laughed as Tyzonn looked himself over with a smile, relieved to be back to normal.
"Thank you, friends." Tyzonn smiled.
XxXxXxXxXx
"This has been an incredible experience, and I thank you all for your help, but now I musg go." Tyzonn decided as he walked through the mantion with the Rangers trailing behind him. All but Arielle, who needed to rest after what she'd learned.
"Why don't you stay?" Tea asked. "You can work with us."
"I can't. Just like you have your mission, I have my own." Tyzonn explained.
"We're here for you, if you ever need us." Mack told him warmly.
"I wish to thank your cousin before I go." Tyzonn told him. "Is she here?"
Mack shook his head. "No, sorry."
"But she'll find a way to help you." Tea grinned. "She's that good." A look of realization hit her. "Oh! Here." She quickly reached into her pocket of her jacket pocket, pulling out the crystal. "You're going to want this back." She smiled as she held it out to him.
"My crystal!" Tyzonn beamed as he took the repaired crystal, then returned it to its place on his silver wristband. "Thank you again. Good luck on your mission."
"And good luck on yours." Mack wished.
With a nod, Tyzonn turned and left.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Avril was sitting on a large rock, over looking a big beautiful lake that sparkled in the sunshine.
Chip Thorne, showed himself from a tree, behind her. "She's hurting." He turned to Sentinel Knight.
Sentinel Knight placed a hand on his shoulder. "I will give you a little time."
Chip looked hopeful. "Thank you." He turned and started to make his way to Avril slowly. "Avril."
Avril jumped startled, she turned around sharply. "Chip?" She breathed. "Chip!" She cried, quickly running to him and tackling him into a death hug. "I missed you!" She cried, as he returned the tight hug. "We all miss you." She choked.
"I know." Chip replied. "I miss you all too." He finally pulled away from her. He reached up to gently wipe her tears away.
"Then come home." She sobbed. "Please come home." She finished with a whisper.
"I want to." His own voice shook. "But I can't."
"Why!?" She sobbed. "I don't understand!"
Sentinel Knight walked over to them. "It is time."
Avril's eyes widened. "NO!" She cried, quickly grabbing Chip's arm. "Please, don't take him away again."
"I am sorry." Sentinal Knight apologized. "But he must come with me now."
Chip gently pulled away from Avril. "It'll be ok." He told her softly. "We'll see each other again, and when that happens I'll be back home in Brairwood." He promised.
Avril chewed on her lower lip, as fresh tears rolled down her cheeks. She tried to reply, but her voice wouldn't work.
Chip gently kissed her cheek. "Stay safe, my love." With that he turned to Sentinal Knight, who nodded. The Knight snapped his fingers and the two disappeared, leaving Avril once again alone.
XxXxXxXxXx
What do you think? Did you get teary eyed?
