The rangers morphed into action as they landed in the vicinity of Angel Grove's outskirts. There, stood another monster, or so they saw. Its name was Reflector. Reflector was a monster with likely capabilities. With its indescribable strength, it was able to use a reflection of anything and use it against anyone.
The two pink rangers stood by his side as he shot reflector beams at the five Zeo rangers. As they tried fighting the monster, Tommy and Adam attempted to take attack on the two evil rangers, whereas Jason, Tanya, and Rocky handled the cogs by the ground's peak with the Aquitian rangers.
As they all fought, back at the Youth Center, mirage like beings of Kimberly and Katherine were keeping an on their biddings as they looked on with deceit as they tried for ways to enter into the Power Chamber. The two hissed with delight as they stared at their surroundings.
Rita and Zedd watched from the palace as their plan was about to be unveiled. However, if they were to retrieve the Zeo crystal, it would only spell out trouble. In fact, with the illusions, it could only provide a plan between good and evil.
With the quick reflexes, the rangers attempted to destroy Reflector. Reflector took charge on the rangers as he continued with the several beams at them. The two evil rangers by his side triggered several of their own weapons from their arsenal. The two teams flipped backwards as they felt the three with force and strength.
"You foolish rangers can't get rid of us that quickly," Katherine scoffed as she shot several beams, with quick defense.
Katherine fired her laser beams at the two ranger teams as she fought off several rangers at once. Kimberly, on the other hand, was using her power bow at her enemies. She rapidly changed gears as she aimed several arrows.
"You'll never defeat us evil pink one," Cestro pointed out as he took out his Aqua power saber.
Kimberly into Kat's defense as she retrieved a bow, aiming towards the Zeo and Aquitian rangers as Reflector tried to replicate the two teams. His mighty beams took forth as he aimed a sudden laser at them.
The two teams collapsed as smoke covered their area. They began to fan it away as they looked up, seeing forms of themselves. The three laughed haughtily as they saw familiar rangers rising from their holding spots.
Now, there was a team at their disposal as it attacked the Zeo rangers, as well as the rangers of Aquitar. Kimberly and Katherine teleported back to the palace as Rita and Zedd continued to watch the fight that was about to ensue.
RANGERS YOU MUST BE CAREFUL. REFLECTOR IS QUITE DANGEROUS IN REPLACTING ANYTHING IT SEES OR IS CLOSE TO.
"We got you Zordon. Guys, we must be careful. Reflector has a ray of replication," Adam warned as he took his fighting stance at the monster.
The monster came forward as it began attacking the green Zeo ranger. As it came towards him, it reflected its beam at him, almost replicating the young ranger. Everyone gasped as an evil form of himself appeared.
Adam shook off the monster as the monster sent his twin after him. While taking charge of his twin, the rangers were all teleported back to the Power Chamber. In a sudden urge to fight back, Reflected retreated with his remaining replicas of the Zeo and Aquitian rangers.
"Your majesties, would you like to hear our side of things in order to get the Zeo shard," Kimberly asked in a hiss.
"What is it my children," Rita asked as she looked at the two rangers, while they were holding their helmets.
"How about taking one shard at a time from the Zeo crystal," the other pink ranger stated as she thought of a way of using their diversion on the remaining rangers.
Rita and Zedd looked at each other in a devious stare. A sudden evil laugh struck them as they looked at their two evil children in a dark, haughty haze. The Zeo crystal was a difficult task to reach, since Zordon stored it away at the holding bay of one of the Zeo zords. Now, without Katherine to pilot her own zord, they tried to spare hers and destroy the others.
Meanwhile back at the Power Chamber, the Rangers looked at their identical selves causing havoc in Angel Grove. They all sighed as Reflector managed to get at least three replications of rangers to use against evil. Other than the two pink rangers, he had his own army at his disposal.
RANGERS, REFLECTOR MUST BE STOPPED. HIS REFLECTOR BEAM INSIDE HIS CHEST MUST BE DESTROYED BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
"Ay, yi yi," the young bot said in worry frenzy, as he looked at the Viewing Globe.
"What's the matter Alpha," Tommy said as he tried comforting his little technical friend.
"Reflector and his little army of rangers are now attacking Angel Grove's central city again. This time with stronger weapons at their disposal and will be unstoppable to beat."
"We'll destroy them Alpha," Jason stated as he looked at the Viewing Globe.
RANGERS, THERE'S ALSO TROUBLE IN THE YOUTH CENTER. THE DOUBLES OF KIMBERLY AND KATHERINE ARE THERE TOO.
"You guys go, Adam and I will try to save Kim and Kat," Rocky suggested to Tommy and the others.
"We're on it," Tanya gave a nod to her boyfriend and teammate.
"Back to action!" All of the rangers stated as they all teleported to their respective areas.
Rocky and Adam teleported back to the Youth Center in their civilian attire as they tried to look for Kimberly and Katherine. The two looked everywhere for the two as they looked for two familiar faces they remembered being one of their own. As they entered into the busy Youth Center, there was Kim and Kat. The two evil rangers were sitting down, relaxing enjoying their day.
While looking closely, Adam and Rocky looked at each other. The two girls looked familiar, but in a twinkle of their eye, something drew them into their evil gaze. As they walked up the Juice Bar's stairs, they came closer and closer as they tried figuring out who was sitting there.
Bulk and Skull were on the stairs as they saw the two young men walk up. The two looked at their two friends in wonderment as they continued looking at the table with Kim and Kat sitting at the table, sipping juice and laughing.
"Pardon me guys, we're trying to get through," Adam said politely as he tried to cut through Bulk and Skull.
"Yeah, we have to talk to those two," his blue clad friend stated as he barely made it to the table.
Rocky rubbed his eyes as he looked at the table. He looked again as he saw the two girls joking around, as he nudged his friend. Bulk and Skull raised their brows at the two as they shrugged before leaving.
"Those two need their eyes checked," the mischievous bully said as he looked at his friend.
"Yeah, there's no one there," Skull cackled a laugh as they left.
No one there, Adam said to himself as he came closer to the table.
The two came closer to the table as they saw what they saw, unless it was a trick that they would never understand. Billy watched from the Power Chamber his two friends attempted to come closer to the table that consisted of two young girls laughing and drinking juice.
The sound began again as he and Alpha heard someone breaking into the lower bay of the Chamber. He looked at Alpha in worry as they took out a flashlight and headed down to the lower bay.
"My plan is working out perfectly sire," Kimberly hissed as she saw Billy entering the lower banks of the Chamber.
"And it is," Lord Zedd revealed as he watched with Rita.
During the intervening time, the remaining rangers were trying to destroy Reflector. Reflector sent his minions as well as his army to attack the rangers as a diversion was being formed.
The evil replicas of rangers attacked the team with all their might and strength. Falling backwards, the rangers of both universes were attacking their clones. With swiftness, Tommy took out his Zeo sword as he tried to get rid of the monster for good.
He was now at the monster's grasp as he felt something. He looked over at his friends as they were grabbing their chest as sudden beams from their bodies were being removed.
"Who's there?" Billy asked from its holding bay, circling around with his flashlight.
An evil snicker was heard as he came closer. With a sudden beam of pink flashed down from its hiding place. Billy flashed the light at the ranger who was standing before him.
The young woman held the shard in her hand as his face grew pale. She was holding the first two shards as she gave a snooty look to him.
"Hey, give that back!" he hollered at her.
"And who's going to stop me? You, Daddy dearest," the young woman replied in arrogance.
Adam grasped his chest back at the Youth Center. Rocky looked at his friend as he saw his friend go down on the ground. In a scare for his life, he tried to get a hold of everyone at the Power Chamber.
"What's happening to us," he gasped softly, feeling his energy being drained.
"Adam, come on buddy. You got to get up," Rocky said as he tried helping his friend up.
"Look at them Zeddy. The rangers don't know what hit them till their powers are gone," Rita laughed as she looked at Rocky, who was trying to help Adam up.
"Yes, my sweet pet. With their Zeo powers gone, Reflectors evil ranger army, including ours will be hard to defeat," Zedd replied, giving his wife a grin.
"What's happening to us…" Tanya said as she felt her energy being drained from her powers.
"I don't know, but…" Tommy said as he clutched his chest.
Katherine watched from a bush as the Rangers and their energy drain them. She cocked up a laugh as they weakened slowly. She only hoped Kimberly was able to retrieve at least a shard or the powers.
Soon your powers will belong to my evil leaders and you all will be no more, she hissed silently.
RANGERS TELEPORT TO THE POWER CHAMBER – IT IS A VERY URGENT MATTER WITH YOUR POWERS.
Rocky wrapped Adam's arm around him as he attempted to take him and his friend back to the Chamber before it was too late. Adam looked up dizzily as he saw the man in the intergalactic tube. Tommy and Tanya began gasping for air as they removed their helmets. It was very unlikely of them to lose this much power.
"Where's Billy," Jason asked as he wondered around for his friend.
BILLY WENT TO GO CHECK ON SOMETHINGS IN THE LOWER BAY OF THE CHAMBER. HE SHOULD BE RETURNING SOON.
Billy tried grabbing the crystals before Kimberly got a hold of them. The young pink ranger managed three shards, enabling the strength of three of the rangers. She snickered as she fought Billy off of her before heading back to the palace.
Two shards remained as well as the energy from the gold ranger's staff. She waved at the former ranger as she teleported back to the palace. As she entered, she returned to her civilian form, standing next to Katherine who laughed with her partner in crime.
The Chamber's technician shortly returned to the upper level as he reported on what he saw in the lower bay. He couldn't believe someone would do something so cold and evil to their team.
"Kimberly has stolen the three Zeo shards," he blurted out as he caught his breath.
"WHAT?" all of them said in unison.
I FEARED THIS WOULD HAPPEN. WITH KIMBERLY AND KATHERINE WORKING FOR EVIL, ZEDD AND RITA WOULD WANT THE SHARDS FOR THEIR OWN EVIL DOINGS.
"Which ones did she take?" Tanya said as she managed to stand up.
"By the looks of it, she took Zeo rangers' two and four," the young man noted by his observation.
"Give those back!" Billy demanded as he saw the pink ranger, attempting to get two shards.
"Oh you're no fun. I'll be taking these, thank you," the evil pink ranger growled.
"And what do you plan to do with those?" he raised his brow at her.
"I'm going to make the best glow sticks around. What the heck do you think?" she said as she self-aggrandized as she held two shards in her hand, draining two rangers of their energy.
"And then, she was gone," he said as he paced around the Chamber.
Back at the moon, Kimberly presented the shards to the royal couple. She curtsied before them as they gave a nod before she returned to stand next to Katherine, who watched everything from the energy drain of Zeo rangers two and four.
The two young women looked at each other as they gave an evil laugh as Zedd began holding the two shards in his hand. He kissed repeatedly as it glowed in his hand. Rita gave a smug to her two little angels. She couldn't believe how their minds would work so well in diversion.
"Alas, my sweet children, we have two of the four shards, while sparing Katherine's," he snarled.
"Two down, two to go your majesty," Kimberly smirked with delight.
"Don't forget Jason's gold staff," Katherine hinted as she looked at the two glowing shards, sitting on their master's hands.
"Ahhh yes. The way to weaken the rangers is through their newest member," Rita laughed a little.
"Do you two think you're capable of the challenge of getting Tommy's shard and Jason's staff?"
"Yes, your majesties," the pink rangers said as their eyes glowed.
Zedd kissed the shards once more as victory began to grow on their side for once. With two of the Zeo rangers down, the two plotted how to destroy their enemies. It was only a chance to get rid of the rangers for good. As for the Aquitian rangers, they tried helping their friends with much power they have to strengthen both Adam and Tanya. But, there was still a monster to destroy as well as protect a universe before it was too late.
