IT'S RAINING LIONS AND MORE LIONS
"It was scary," Michael said, starting the story of his "capture", "I remember putting that orb on the table and when it fell through the glass a creature grabbed me and pulled me into this strange world. The floor was all glass-like and the sky was dark with greens and purples. A creature, that looked like a rat came up to me and then I was standing outside near the Angel Grove park. Thank goodness for the Power Rangers, or I'd be trapped forever in that creature."
"So you didn't see my brother?" Jacob asked, sipping on some hot chocolate at the Youth Center.
"No, I'm sorry Jacob," Michael lied, "I don't remember."
"It's okay," Spencer said, sipping on hot chocolate as well, "The important thing is that you are safe."
"Yeah," Jacob said.
As the three of them were talking, Deanna and Kerri came into the Youth Center. They were drenched with rain. It had been raining for a few hours now. Lightning and thunder were occurring as well. It was a massive storm.
"I hate the rain," Kerri said, taking off her wet rain jacket.
"I just love it," Deanna said.
"How can you love it?" Kerri asked.
"Without the rain, plants can't grow and the animals can't get water," she said, "and besides you can't have a rainbow without rain, and I just love rainbows."
"Well, I hope this rain stops soon, so we can enjoy that rainbow," Kerri said.
The two girls joined the three guys and sat with them. Michael told them the story of how he was captured by Rat Face. They moved on to a better topic to talk about when Jacob's communicator went off.
"Uh..um Michael," Jacob started.
"I know you guys are the Power Rangers," Michael whispered.
Jacob, Spencer, Kerri, and Deanna were stunned and stocked. They asked him how he knew and Michael told them he knew by being inside Rat Face. This brought up a little suspicion, but they would have to deal with that later. Right now Prince Light was calling for them. They got up and went around the corner where no one was there.
"Power Rangers," Prince Light said, "teleport to the Power Chamber immediately."
The four of them did and Mason and Callum were there already looking at the screen. All six of them saw a lion-like creature at Angel Grove Park. He was looking at the sky and was waving his hands. A download came to them all:
Weather Mane is a ferocious lion creature that is very strong. His powers include:
- Dark Weather: He can control the weather.
- Warp Tornado: He can bring forth a tornado causing whoever is in it to go to a different dimension.
"All right guys," Jacob said, "we have work to do."
"Lightning Orb, Ranger Power!" they shouted.
"Red!" Jacob shouted.
"Orange!" Mason called out.
"Yellow!" Callum shouted.
"Green!" Spencer called out.
"Blue!" Kerri shouted.
"Purple!" Deanna called out.
They all were teleported to the park where Weather Mane was. He was controlling the weather. When the Power Rangers arrived he turned to greet them.
"Power Rangers," Weather Mane growled, "so nice of you to join me. Darkening Birds attack!"
All of a sudden, a flock of Darkening Birds came from no where and started attacking the Power Rangers. They were fighting with the birds, while Jacob jumped up, got his sword, and took a whack at Weather Mane. Weather Mane flew threw the sky and landed on the ground. He was very angry, got up, and charged after Jacob. Both of them were at it; fighting with each other.
As for the others, they were fighting with the Darkening Birds. For some odd reason they were a little stronger than usual. They were getting beat and all of them needed to call their weapons. Kerri, with her bracelets, blasted a few of them with a blue energy ball. Deanna used her missals on her jet pack and blasted a bunch of the Darkening Birds to the ground. Callum flung his twin axes at a dozen of the birds. Spencer used his crossbow and shot at a few Darkening Birds. Mason, finished them off, by flinging his staff, causing them all to fall to the ground. They all blew up, and when the smoke cleared, they saw a swarm of bugs.
"Bugs?" Deanna said, not believing it.
"They are living creatures," Spencer said, "I guess Prince Dark got tired of capturing humans."
"No, he didn't," Weather Mane said, punching Jacob, and sending him flying back to the others, "Animals don't have a conscience like humans. He's still using humans as hosts because they are the best to control."
"Well, you won't be controlling your host for very long," Deanna said, "because we're going to destroy you."
"Ah, but you're wrong little girl," Weather Mane laughed, "I attend to keep my host forever!"
"We'll see about that!" Jacob said, gesturing everyone to charge at Weather Mane.
-
While the Power Rangers were fighting, Adam, Justin, and Alpha 6 were waiting for Andrew Hartford and his son, Mack. Adam couldn't believe he got a call from Mack, saying that him and his father wanted to see him. He just hoped that the helicopter was going to make it with this terrible weather.
"This is an awful strange kind of weather for Angel Grove," Justin said, looking out the window.
"I agree with you Justin," Adam said, "I bet you a monster is behind this."
"I'm sure the Power Rangers will take care of this monster," Alpha 6 said.
They waited for a few minutes more and then Adam turned on the TV. There was breaking news.
"We interrupt your show for breaking news," the TV news anchor said, "A terrible storm has occurred in Angel Grove. The storm is being produce by a monster. Laura Colbert is live in the park with an update. Take it away Laura."
"Well as you can see," Laura said, "The camera has zoomed in on a fight. The Power Rangers are fighting against what appears to be a lion. Earlier, we saw the lion using his powers to control the weather. I believe we are safe from harms way. We'll get back to you guys in the studio if there is new breaking development. Laura Colbert reporting live. Back to you Josh."
"Thank you Laura," Josh said, "Along with this weather, it is not safe to travel in the sky. An innocent occurred a half an hour ago when a helicopter had crashed, just outside of Angel Grove. It is said that the helicopter is owned by the millionaire explorer Andrew Hartford. No word on if anyone made it."
Adam, Justin, and Alpha 6 just gave each other blank stares. They were thinking all the same thing as if there were any survivors. Adam was starting to get mad at the monster for causing the bad weather. They both turned to the news as it went back to Laura.
-
"You'll never win Power Rangers," Weather Mame growled, "Give Prince Dark the Darkening Orb and I will stop this terrible weather."
"Never!" Jacob shouted, "We will never give you the Lightning Orb."
"Warp Tornado," Weather Mame yelled, and just then a tornado came and took the Power Rangers to a different dimension.
They were thrown to the ground and when they all got up, they noticed they were in a dark and mysterious place. The ground was full of smoke and the sky was pitch black. Their orbs started glowing the colors of their suits.
"Where are we?" Deanna asked, looking around.
"I don't know," Jacob said, "Let's try contacting Prince Light."
He talked into his communicator but no response. The Power Rangers were on their own.
-
"As you can see, Josh," Laura started to explain, "that monster had just made the Power Rangers disappear. This is Laura Colbert, signing off."
Adam turned off the TV and told Justin they need to help the Power Rangers. Justin wanted to know what they could do; their powers don't match up with the Power Rangers, not to mention the monsters.
"We have to try," Adam said, "We are their only hope."
Alpha 6 wished them good luck and they rushed into Adam's car as both Justin and Adam went to the park.
-
"Oh no, Prince Light," Prisma said, viewing the monster, "what are we going to do. The Power Rangers are trapped in a different dimension and the monster is going to destroy Angel Grove."
"Calm down, Prisma," Prince Light said, turning to Gadget, "Try and locate the Power Rangers. See what dimension they are in. Maybe if we know where they are we can bring them back. If that doesn't work, see what you can find else on Weather Mane. Maybe attacking him a certain way, we can bring back the Rangers."
"I'm right on it," Gadget said.
-
Adam's Mojo wasn't that far from the park and so Justin and him got there in a few minutes, even with the heavy rain. They got out of the car and saw the monster looking up to the sky. Adam knew he was making the weather worse and wanted him stop.
"Are you ready, Justin?" Adam asked.
"Yeah," Justin replied, "Let's do this!"
"It's morphing time!" Adam called out, raising his morpher. His black suit burst on him and his helmet appeared. The black Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger was back again.
"Shift into turbo!" Justin shouted, turning the key into the morpher. Blue electricity went through his hands as he raised them down. His blue suit slowly came on him and his helmet appeared. The blue Turbo Ranger was back as well.
They both ran up to the monster, and Adam, with his Power Ax jumped up and hit the monster causing some damage.
"More Power Rangers?" Weather Mane asked in shock, turning around, "Oh well, guess I'll destroy you guys."
"I don't think so," Justin said, blasting an energy at Weather Mame, using his Hand Blasters.
Weather Mane dropped to the ground.
-
"Prince Light," Gadget said, "are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
"Yes, the legendary black Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger and the mighty blue Turbo Ranger," Prince Light said, smiling.
"How is this possible?" Gadget asked, "I thought they lost their powers."
"They did," Prince Light said, "but the Sentinel Knight restored Adam's power and Storm Blaster restored Justin's power."
"Prince Light," Gadget said, after a few seconds of silence, "I have found out how to bring the Power Rangers back. Two powerful energies have to blast Weather Mane on either side to release the Power Rangers."
"I'll contact Justin and Adam," Prince Light said.
-
"Bring back the Power Rangers," Adam demanded, hitting Weather Mane with his Power Ax again.
"Never," Weather Mane growled.
Just then, both Adam and Justin saw a white light over by some trees and saw a bird-like creature standing, watching them. They both were drawn back and was ready to fight the bird-like creature as well.
"Don't be afraid, I am Prince Light," he said, "I am the keeper of the Lightning Orb and am the one who gave six teens powers to become Power Rangers. No one can see me or hear me except you. Listen carefully. In order to bring the rangers back, you'll need to blast him on both sides."
Prince Light had vanished and Adam and Justin knew what to do. Adam ran and leaped over Weather Mane. Weather Mane didn't know what was going on and was looking back and forth. Adam held his Power Ax out and Justin help out his Hand Blasters. Both Adam and Justin fired at the same time causing Weather Mane to drop to the ground. A tornado appeared and dropped back the six Power Rangers.
"What happened?" Spencer asked, looking around.
"We are back!" Mason said, looking at the black ranger and blue Turbo Ranger, "They saved us."
"Thank you," Jacob said, turning from Adam and Justin, to the monster, "Now, let's finish him."
A dark cloud rolled by and there stood Dark Orb. He was still wearing the black robe, covering his face. He started to laugh as he pulled out a mini Darkening Orb.
"Darkening Orb!" he shouted, "Make my monster grow!"
Dark Orb threw the Darkening Orb at the creature. An explosion occurred and when it was all gone; there stood a huge Weather Mane. Unfortunately, Dark Orb had vanished.
"We'll see if we can find that mysterious man," Adam said.
"Okay," Jacob said, looking to the sky, "We need the Lightning Orb Zords now!"
The abandon field opened up and all six Zords came out. Jacob, Mason, Callum, Spencer, Kerri, and Deanna went into their Zords. Jacob fired at Weather Mane causing him to fall. As soon as he got up, Mason fired the orange beam at him, which Weather Mane reflected back onto Mason's Zord, causing it to take some damage.
They decided it was time for the Lightning Orb Megazord, so they all put their orbs in the tubes and the Zords started to transform. As always the Red Dragon Zord's hands went into its body, while the shoulder blades came together. The tail came off. The Shark and Dolphin Zords became legs and feet and hooked in place with the Red Dragon Zord. The Salamander and Cheetah's tails folded up and the legs went inside the Zords. Their heads rotated and out popped hands. They snapped on to the Red Dragon Zord. The Purple Parrot Zord disconnected with itself, causing the chest to the leveled with the head and wings. The Red Dragon Zord's head went down in a secret compartment and the Purple Parrot Zord fit in its place. The chest snapped on the the Red Dragon Zord's chest, forming like a shield for the zord. The wings snapped in the back of the Red Dragon Zord's back and the Parrot's head opened up to reveal the Megazord's face.
Adam and Justin who couldn't find Dark Orb saw how bright and colorful the Lightning Orb Megazord was and was amazed.
"Okay guys," Jacob said, "Let's go get him."
The Lightning Orb Megazord went after Weather Mane, but Weather Mane raised his hand to the sky calling 'Dark Weather' and a lightning bolt hit at the Megazord causing it to fall.
"Take that Rangers," Weather Mane laughed.
"Prince Light, we need help!" Jacob exclaimed, trying to get the Megazord back on it's feet."
"Call for the Lightning Sword," Prince Light said.
"I call forth the Lightning Sword," Jacob said.
Just then the tail of the Red Dragon Zord appeared and split in two to reveal a sword inside. The sword was beautiful with an orb right in it's base. The sword gave the Lightning Orb Megazord power to get back up.
"You should have been defeated," Weather Mane said, taking a step back.
"We will never be defeated," Jacob said, "but you will."
The Lightning Orb Megazord raised the Lightning Sword up with two hands. The sword, the eyes on the Megazord, and the orb on the chest started to glow. Lightning started to appear all around the sword. The Megazord made a circle using the sword. Just then, the Megazord used the sword and slashed at the circle it made, releasing a burst of energy at Weather Mane, causing him to fall and blow up. He was defeated, for now, since a dark, eerie shadow went to the sky and vanished.
The stormy sky suddenly went to sunshine and birds were chirping. A rainbow appeared in the sky. The Power Rangers came out of the Lightning Orb Megazord and ran over to this young college student who was confused as ever.
"Are you alright?" Spencer asked.
"I think so," he said, looking around at eight Power Rangers, "Wow! The Power Rangers. It is an honor to meet all of you. Thank you for saving me."
"It was our pleasure," Jacob said, patting him on the shoulder, "Hopefully Prince Dark won't use you again. I would be careful around mirrors if I were you."
"Thank you Power Rangers," the young man said, and walked away.
When the coast was cleared Jacob, Spencer, Kerri, Mason, Callum, and Deanna demorphed. Adam and Justin did the same.
"Hey, you're the guy who met with our father," Mason said.
"What did you mean about we need to keep an eye on our father?" Callum asked.
"You're father has discovered a piece of a very powerful monster, Mutitus, and is going to use it to bring back Lokar," Justin said, "I'll explain more later."
"Right now, we need to see if my friend Mack and his father are alright," Adam said.
"What happened?" Jacob asked.
"During that storm, their helicopter crashed down," Adam explained, "They found something dealing with a Lightning Sphere."
"We must go check then," Spencer said, about to lead the way, but saw three men standing in front of him.
"No need," Mack said, smiling, "We are alright."
It was true Mack, his father, Andrew, and their butler, Spencer were alright. Adam went over to give them a hug. He introduced them.
"This is my friend Mack," Adam said, "and this is his father Andrew and their butler, Spencer."
"Hello, I'm Jacob," Jacob said, "and these are my friends Spencer, Kerri, Mason, Callum, and Deanna."
"We saw you from a far," Mack said, "That's an incredible Megazord."
"Thanks," Jacob said, "and what's this about a Lightning Sphere?"
"Yes, my father and I were traveling Egypt," Mack started, "and we came across this red disk that led us to this room where we found this Red Lightning Sphere."
He held it up and showed it to the Rangers. It was glowing bright red.
"It is for you Jacob," Mack said, handing him the Lightning Sphere.
"Let's bring it to the Power Chamber," Jacob said, looking at it, "Maybe Prince Light can tell us what it is."
"The Power Chamber?" Justin asked, "It's rebuilt?"
"Yeah, amazing huh?" Spencer said, "Prince Light along with Gadget and Prisma rebuilt it."
"Also, maybe this Prince Light could help us out on who is King Chaos," Andrew said, "Along with the sphere, there was a message from him."
"I'm sure Prince Light will have the answers," Jacob said, and the six of them teleported and brought along Adam, Justin, Mack, Andrew, and Spencer.
In the distance, in the bushes, Michael Northfield was there hiding. He had a smirk on his face.
"Very soon Power Rangers," he started, "I will get the Lightning Orb for my master, Prince Dark."
(to be continued...)
