Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters.

Author's Notes: This story has been coming on slowly due to my finals, as well as a major case of writer's block, but I'll try to post more chapters this summer.

This chapter goes out to one of my most dedicated readers of this story, Sophiemacyd, who has requested a chapter to be focused on Merrick. And so, Merrick will be facing the next villain in this chapter.

Also all the rangers will continue to be separated until the last few chapters. And spoilers there are actually two different mysterious figures in this story, one good guy and the other villain.

Chapter 10: Arrival

Antonio chased the mysterious figure deeper into the cave until he reached a dead end.

"Guys, it's a dead end." Antonio called back. He then realized he had lost the others.

"All man, I lost…" Antonio started before he saw something on the wall of the cave.

"What the…" Antonio began, but the rest of his sentence was interrupted by a loud thud. He turned around and was knocked unconscious by an unseen enemy.

"One down, four to go." A voice stated.

"Antonio, wait up!" Orion shouted as he and the others continued racing deeper into the cave.

"Ryan, I think we've made contact with the enemy." Eric said into his communicator as he ran. "Antonio is chasing after the threat and we are in pursuit."

"Okay, but be careful, it could be a trap." Ryan warned.

"Roger." Eric acknowledged as he turned off the communicator.

"Eric, come on, we're going to lose them." Trent urged him.

"Sorry, I needed to warn Ryan about our situation." Eric told him.

"Let's go! Antonio might need our help." Trent pled.

The other two rangers had gotten ahead of Eric and Trent. Soon they were out of their sight.

"Hey, guys!" Eric shouted. "Come back!"

The cave was dead quiet.

"Great, now they're lost." Eric groaned. "Better report to Ryan."

"Don't worry, I'll contact them and tell them to wait for us." Trent told him.

As he was about to turn his communicator on, Trent was grabbed by the rough hand of a demon foot soldier. The two rangers were surrounded by a group of the demons.

"What the-?" Trent gasped.

"Let him go, creep!" Eric seethed as he kicked the demon away.

The demon released his hold on Trent's arm and stumbled backwards. Two others advanced forward and began to fight Eric and Trent as more joined the fight.

"Antonio!" Orion's voice echoed. "Where are you?"

"Face it, he's not here." Merrick gave up.

"Uh, wait. Where's Eric and Trent?" Orion pointed out as he realized that the two weren't behind them.

Both looked around the chamber of the cave.

"Maybe they got captured by that strange figure?" Orion suggested.

"Or maybe they're trapped somewhere." Merrick pondered.

"Or maybe someone wanted to take you rangers out one at a time." A voice chuckled wickedly.

"Who's there?" Merrick demanded as the two scanned the area.

Out of the shadows of the cave chamber a figure stepped out. "It is I, the King Org."

Orion noticed Merrick's fist clenching in anger. Merrick's teeth gritted as his eyes burned with rage toward the new enemy.

"You know this guy, Merrick?" Orion asked.

"Know me?" King Org laughed. "Why I was the one who caused him to become possessed by Zen-Aku. For it was I who placed Zen-Aku's spirit as a curse into the mask."

"He's the reason I did all those horrible things in the past." Merrick seethed. "And now he's going to pay."

Merrick stepped forward and pulled out his Growl Phone.

"Wild Access!"

He morphed into the Lunar Wolf Ranger.

"Howling Wolf!"

"Oh, so you want to fight?" King Org taunted. "Let's take it outside, then."

The Org used his staff to teleport himself and the two rangers out of the cave. They ended up in the rough terrain outside the cave.

"Lunar Cue!" Merrick shouted summoning his weapon.

"I'll help, too!" Orion said as he pulled out his ranger key. "Super Mega-"

He was interrupted by Merrick holding his hand out. "No, Orion, this guy is mine. Go find Eric and the others."

"Yes, ranger, leave us to our battle." King Org barked.

"Alright." Orion relented as he raced back to the cave.

"Now to finish what I started a long time ago." King Org shouted as he charged at Merrick.

"Kiai!" Merrick shouted as he charged at his opponent.

The Lunar Cue collided with the King's staff, causing sparks to fly. Merrick deflected the King's next sword slash and tried to attack his chest, knowing that it was his weak spot. However, the Org's powers mixed with Merrick being a bit out of shape made it pretty much anyone's game.

"Alright, warrior, it looks like I'll have to play dirty with you." King Org croaked.

He launched his fur tail-like appendages and wrapped them around Merrick, binding him tightly.

"AHH!" Merrick shouted, as the bonds grew tighter. He dropped the Lunar Cue.

"Ha Ha Ha!" King Org laughed. "You're so weak just like you were 3000 years ago. Farewell, wolf."

Just as King Org was about to tighten Merrick to the point of suffocation, a random blast was fired at the evil Org, freeing Merrick.

"What the?" King Org gasped as he collected himself.

A fuzzy black figure approached Merrick and offered him his hand. Merrick nodded and took hold of it, allowing the figure to help him to his feet.

"Thanks, whoever you are." Merrick thanked.

The figure nodded in response. Merrick then turned his attention to the King Org

"This isn't over, rangers!" King Org growled. "I'm only one of the many evils that Golomois has recruited. The worst is yet to come."

The Org disappeared as Merrick de-morphed.

"Golomois is recruiting villains?" Merrick said as he ran a hand through his hair. "I got to tell Ryan. He'll want to know that…."

Merrick stopped as he noticed his savior had disappeared just as quickly as he appeared.

"Go find your friends." The figure's voice echoed. "I'll return should any of you need me."

Merrick looked around the terrain, scanning for the mysterious warrior.

"Who was that guy?" Merrick puzzled before he rushed off back into the cave.

"Cam, Zhane, anyone there?" Ryan said into his communicator as he and Dominic ran down the street.

"Where are they?" Dominic asked.

"I don't know." Ryan said. "We've got to warn them that Golomois is here."

"Guys?" A voice called. It was Zhane.

"Zhane, where have you been and where are the others?" Ryan asked he walked up to his ally.

"Those demons ambushed us." Zhane panted. "We tried to defend ourselves, but they captured Cam and Daggeron."

"This is bad." Ryan said as he placed a hand on his chin. "Golomois's troops are following us so they can steal the Dark Sword."

Meanwhile, deep in the frozen tundra, a sudden heat wave was taking effect. Penguins were scattered across the frozen ground. Suddenly a red hand pushes itself out of the ground in a weak manner, melting the ice in the process. Another hand appears and both hands push out the rest of the body of an unknown figure. It was…Moltor.

"Finally, I'm free." Moltor groaned.

The left side of his body was severely scarred from being regenerated after Flurious turned him into solid ice and shattered him. His left horn was broken off and his left cheek had what looked like frostbite on it. His left shoulder and upper arm was a purplish color due to the blue ice frozen on his arm.

"That traitorous brother of mine….!" Moltor growled. "I'll show him! I'll be the one to destroy the Power Rangers with the help of this."

He pulled out one of Flurious' remaining gyros, which could be used to resurrect and give power to deceased individuals.

"And I know just the guinea pig to use this on." Moltor laughed as he walked out the frozen tundra and back into the warmer climate, melting the ice wherever he stepped.

"Sir, behold our new allies." Cranius announced. "These three individuals have had experience in dealing with those Power Rangers."

"Bring them forth then." Golomois said.

"First, I present to you His Majesty, Prince Gasket and his lovely bride Princess Archerina." Cranius said as the mentioned entered the room. "They were once Royal members of the Machine Empire."

"Impressive." Golomois said as he put his hand across his chin.

"It will be honor to serve you, Demon." Gasket said humbly as he bowed to Golomois. "We finally have the chance to avenge our family's destruction."

"And now may I present our next warrior." Cranius continued. "She was in league with the very first enemy to face the Power Rangers: Scorpina."

Scorpina walked in.

"Excellent work, Cranius." Golomois commended the skeleton warrior. "These three will make great additions to our team."

Golomois turned to face Chronos. "Did you get them?"

"Yes, master, I managed to get these two imprisonment cards from SPD." Chronos nodded as he held up the two cards. "These two are known as Emperor Gruumm and Broodwing. I also manage to gather bits of scrap metal to form Venjix after I download the virus into this dimension."

"Excellent." Golomois stated.

Suddenly, loud knocking could be heard coming outside the ship.

"Who comes on my ship unannounced?" Grek growled, raising to his feet.

The demon henchmen opened the door to the outside. And in came Moltor, visibly weakened from his trip to the ship. He seemed to be dragging a corpse with him.

"Brother!" Chronos cried as he rushed to his brother side.

"Chronos, is that you?" Moltor groaned painfully.

"What happened to you?" Chronos asked as he led his brother to a seat.

"That treacherous brother tried to dispose of me when I was at my weakest so he could steal the Corona Aurora." Moltor answered as he placed a lava stone on his scars. "But he's gone now, and it's time for me to prove that I'm far superior to him. Let me join you all in your conquest."

"Off course, Moltor, you are welcome among us." Golomois bellowed. "Your fiery reputation precedes you."

"Pardon, my lord, but what is this thing?" Grek asked as he held up the corpse Moltor brought in.

"That's a Fearcat, isn't it?" Chubozu exclaimed. "I've heard rumors about them, but I thought they were extinct."

"Yes, two of them, Mig and Cheetar came to Earth to free their Fearcat brethren from a prison mirror." Moltor explained. "They were only able to free one before the rangers broke the mirror. This Fearcat here is one of those two original ones."

"Why did you bring it here then?" Grek demanded. "A dead cat is of no use to us."

"The others were also defeated by the rangers, but my brother revived them as cyborgs using one of these." Moltor continued as held up the gyro. "I managed to take the last one after I left Earth."

"Allow me, brother." Chronos requested.

Moltor nodded and handed him the gyro. Chronos approached the long dead Fearcat, and place the gyro into its chest. Electricity surged through the Fearcat's body as it rose to his feet.

Growling, Cheetar was brought back and was now covered in black armor. His visor was similar to the other Fearcats. His horn head visor was now black with white cybernetic horns. The ruby remained on his head covered by a piece glass. His shoulders were curled up in a half swirl design. The chest plate surrounding his twirling gyro was covered by a white armor.

"Finally, I'm back!" Cheetar shouted in a near growling voice.

"Now then, we must deal with these rangers and get that sword." Golomois announced. "Prepare for landing. It's time we all join in."

"Sir, I'm detecting a ship entering the Earth's atmosphere." Master Dread piped in. "And it seems to be carrying Mercurian and Triforian lifeforms.

"That has to be the Mercury Ranger." Moltor growled.

"Arggh! I'll take of those rats." Grek growled.

Lightspeed Jet

"Man this is…" Gem whined.

"Hard." Gemma finished his sentence.

The two had been working hard at trying to restore Robo Knight to his normal form, but after over two hours, they hadn't had any success.

"How are we going to help the other rangers?" Gemma groaned.

"You guys need help?" A voice behind the two said.

Both rangers turned around and could not believe their eyes.

"What? How are you here?" Gem gasped in shock.

End Notes: Longest chapter I've spent writing. The villains in this chapter are the last I'm bringing into the story. I decided to bring in these villains due to some of them never being seen defeated (Scorpina, Gasket, and Archerina), some not getting a proper kill off (Moltor and Cheetar), and others who were hinted to be still alive (Gruumm, Broodwing, and Venjix).

The next chapter will focus more on Mike, Tyzonn and Trey.

King Org is based off Lost Highness Rakushaasa from Gaoranger
