Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Fight for the Dark Red Power Morpher
Chapter 10: Double Trouble
"So what's it gonna be rangers?!" cried Goldar laughing alongside Rito, getting ready to strike at the rangers again.
"I think it's time to get rid of them! We've given them enough time!" replied Rito walking towards their miniature opponents.
"It's time to call the Zords and even the odds a bit" replied Zeo ranger three getting up from hiding, Ready to call on the Zords. Zeo ranger one immediately put a concerned hand on his shoulder.
"Are you sure, Rocky? It'll only be us fighting at half strength without the others here."
"We don't have a choice Kat. We're the only ones who can protect the power chamber until Tommy and the others are able to join us."
Zeo ranger one, realizing this as well as how dire their current situation was, nodded in agreement with what her partner said.
"You're right, let's do this!"
"Alright, we need Super Zeo Zord Power…now!"
"You fools!" laughed Goldar
Immediately after Zeo ranger three called on the Zords, the implosion devices that Rito and Goldar set up around the Zord holding bay began to beep and multiple explosions coming from that area began to occur. The impact of the explosions caused a sizable earthquake that caused the shocked rangers to stumble.
"What happened?!" asked Zeo ranger one as tried to hold her balance.
"Why are the Zord's not coming and what were those explosions?!"
"I have no idea Kat but I have an idea of who's behind it…what did you guys do?!"
"Let's just say that your little Zords aren't gonna be making it anytime soon!"
As Goldar replied, he spewed fire from his mouth and both rangers ran and jumped out of the way of attack in urgency. They were in trouble and without the Zords, they had no chance of being able to stand a chance of their grown opponents. They were out of options and they needed to think of something before they as well as the rest of the Angel grove were destroyed.
Hoping for a solution, Zeo ranger one reached for her communicator.
"Zordon come in! I and Rocky are trying to fight Goldar and Rito but they've seemed to do something to the Zord bay and the Zords aren't coming!"
"It seems as if both Rito and Goldar were able to slip by our detectors and plant implosion devices in the Zord holding bay. The explosions trapped the Zords and until we find a way to free them from the ruble, they are inoperable."
Both rangers looked at each other and then back at their two enemies, who were getting ready for another strike.
"What now?"
Red Ranger was doing a great job at holding his own against Dark Red Ranger, matching him blow for blow. After another round of battling, both rangers backed away from each other, catching a breather and glaring at each other through their visors.
"I must say, I'm impressed. I didn't expect you to last this long."
"So did I but as much as I'd love to stay here and keep doing this, I have friends who need me."
"Oh, you'll be destroyed before you can even reach them. Power Sword!"
Instantly, the familiar primary weapon that Red Ranger once used in the past was now in the hands of his opponent.
"Ring a bell?"
Red Ranger held out his hand and even though it was a long shot…
"Power Sword!"
Nothing happened…
"Ha, your powers are failing you already!"
Dark Red Ranger charged with his weapon in hand and Red Ranger, shocked, stayed put as Dark Red Ranger drew closer and closer.
"Its over!"
He swung the power sword and instantly, Red Ranger's Power Sword appeared in hand and in a last moment's action, swung his weapon and the sound of their weapons colliding caused a thunderous sound.
"You're surprising me more and more each second, rangers…oh wait, look what we have here!"
Suddenly, as Red Ranger was locked in attack with Dark Red ranger, he started to feel the power rapidly drain from him and his helmet began to fade in and out, constantly exposing his face.
"Not now...!"
"I knew it would be a matter of time!" exclaimed Dark Red ranger as he kicked Red Ranger in the chest, sending him rolling on the floor. Instantly, he jumped up and swung again and Red Ranger evaded the attack. Red Ranger stayed crouched as he struggled to try and maintain his morph which continued to drain his energy as well as the suit continuing to fade in and out.
I have to hold on…
Red Ranger, despite his current state, forced himself up and charged at Dark Red Ranger. He then glared at the one spot that he knew he had to target if he wanted this fight to end and get back to his friends.
The dark red rangers power morpher.
"You don't have much time left, I suggest you leave now and forget any idea's you have of defeating me. It won't long till your powers fade out. I'm giving you one last chance before I end this for good."
"Master Gasket, we found the rangers!" Exclaimed a Cog as it and six others made their way into the abandoned warehouse, ending the rangers time of refuge. Luckily for the rangers, Tanya was able to gain consciousness and the time they had did them much good. They were still bruised and battered but they had enough energy for another round with the machines.
"Alright guys, Ready to take care of this tin cans?" asked Tommy standing in front of Adam and Tanya who were behind him, ready for action.
"It's morphin time!"
The rangers once again summoned their morphers, activated them and were now surrounded by the morphing grid.
"Zeo ranger two, yellow!"
"Zeo ranger four, green!"
"Zeo ranger five, red!"
The three Zeo rangers were now morphed and charged at the Cogs ready for the outcome of this battle to be much different than before.
Zeo ranger four pushed away a kick from a Cog and returned a one of his own to the cogs chest, sending him to the ground. He then turned around just in time to duck an attack coming towards his way and repeatedly punched the cog in the chest till it began to spark electricity.
Zeo ranger two flipped an attacking cog to the ground, and immediately caught wind of another cog who was about to blast her with their weapon. She quickly drew her Zeo laser and blasted him in the chest, disabling it.
"Oh yeah!"
"Zeo flying power kick, hyah!" cried Zeo ranger five as he landed the super charged kick to the chests of the remaining two Cogs, sending them flying out the warehouse, right in front of a shocked and disgusted Gasket and Archerina.
"You wretched Cogs, how is it that you lost to these rangers?!"
The rangers ran outside and stood across from their enemies.
"Goes to show that you can't hold us down for long, Gasket" replied Zeo ranger four holding his fist up.
"This ends now Gasket!"
"Hahahaha, that's what you think rangers!" exclaimed Gasket laughing hysterically. "This is far from over!"
Just then, Zeo ranger five's communicator went off and he responded as Gasket and Archerina continued to laugh.
"This is tommy, come in!"
"Tommy, Rito and Goldar found a way to trap the Zords in the holding bay, we're defenseless against them and we can't hold up much longer!" replied Zeo ranger one, frantically.
"No way" replied "Zeo ranger five as he began to think about a possible solution to this rapidly evolving problem. Not only did they have Gasket to deal with, they had two friends who were now pretty much at the mercy of their enemy. Time was now running out and he needed to make a choice…
"Well Zeo rangers, now that Rito and Goldar have successfully done their part in crippling you all, It's time for us to finish the job!" cried Gasket. "Rita and Zedd, its time!"
"The time has finally come my evil darling!" said Zedd, as he looked at Rita with his staff in hand. "The end of the power rangers!"
"YEAH HAHAHA, LETS DO IT!"
"MAKE GASKET GROW!"
The villain couple crossed their staffs together, sending the familiar strike of evil magic from their palace to Gasket and Archerina's location, hitting them with a powerful force.
The rangers watched as their opponent's grew supersized and were now towering over them.
"Oh man, what do we do now with no Zords?!" asked Adam as him and the others began to back away from Gasket and Archerina.
"Kat, you're gonna have to try and hold on a bit more. Things have now gotten much more serious on our end as well."
Red Rangers Power sword was knocked out of his hand and as he reached for it, it rapidly faded away. The same could be said about his overall energy and morphing powers. His suit was fading in and out at a rapid rate and against a full powered ranger; there was no way he would be able to stand against him and hope to win. However, he still had the set plan and goal to take the power morpher away from Farai. All of this would mean nothing if he didn't succeed.
"I've given you your final warning, this is it Red Ranger…" said Farai. "You've fought well but it's time for me to end this."
