Power Rangers Spirit Force

Chapter 10: The Lost Galaxy

Harry and Ginny were hanging out at the Surf Spot with the other Rangers and the Beetleborgs the day after Harry proposed to Ginny in the Command Center. Adelle was surprised at how many people were in one group but still served them their food. "So," Ron said, "are you two planning the wedding for the Burrow?"

"Possibly," Harry said shrugging as he looked at the sheafs of parchment littering the Formica-topped table and writing down guest names for the seating charts. "Ginny and I are a little anxious about it because of what happened at Bill and Fleur's wedding last time...you know, Death Eaters and Ministry people attacking the place all at one time."

"The Death Eaters are all in Azkaban, Harry, so there's no possible chance of them attacking you." Hermione reminded him. "After the fall of Voldemort, a lot of Death Eaters turned themselves in." It didn't take long for the Rangers to notice that Draco was very quiet. "You can join in on the conversation anytime, Draco. You are part of the team, you know."

"Yeah, I know, Granger," Draco said quietly. He was deep in thought, worry etched on his pale face. "I'm just thinking of all of the evil things I did to you guys, that's all; not just as Koragg but during Hogwarts." Ron shook his head with a frown. "What?"

"You really didn't do anything bad to us, actually." Ron said simply. "Besides being an annoyance, you were actually a pretty good person...aside from being in Slytherin, of course." Draco smiled and glanced at Harry's guest list.

"I'm one of your groomsmen?" he said in surprise, to which Harry nodded, his eyebrows raised slightly. "Thank you, Potter. That's very gallant of you." His steel-grey eyes looked into Harry's green ones and asked, "Would it be okay to invite my parents to your wedding? I'm pretty sure they wouldn't say no to the Boy-Who-Lived."

"It's fine with me," said Harry shrugging. "As long as they don't try and kill us." Before Draco could assure everyone nothing would happen, there was a scream and Adelle came running out from behind the juice bar with Pigwidgeon on her shoulder. "Ah, that would be from your mother, Ginny." Ginny giggled, called the minute owl over and took the letter from its beak.

Harry and Ginny,

We are very proud of you both for becoming engaged. Arthur and I were wondering when that would happen. When we heard you two got engaged, I was most ecstatic and Arthur took no time in telling everyone at the Ministry about this news.

By the way, where are you having the wedding? We were hoping, since the war is over in the Wizarding world, you could have the wedding here. There would be no need for protective enchantments this time, so your Muggle friends are most welcome here.

Also, Arthur was told by Dedalus Diggle that your relatives, the Dursleys, have been relocated to Angel Grove as well, Harry. If you see them, I hope they will be nicer to you than when you were with them at Privet Drive. Well, I better make this short because we have a lot to do now and Arthur has been given a large pay rise for being promoted to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement by recommendation from the Minister of Magic.

Good luck, all of you, and be on your best behavior.

Love,

Molly Weasley

"The Dursleys are in Angel Grove?" Harry muttered as he folded the letter and placed it in his rucksack. "I was wondering where they went after they left with Dedalus and Hestia." Adelle handed him a telephone directory, which he flipped through until he found their name. "Blimey, they live pretty close to here! I wonder if they know about our little engagement?"

"I dunno, but I reckon we should find out," Ron said smiling. "I know they hate magic, so we'll just have to act like Muggles whilst around them, won't we?" Harry nodded and wrote down the address and telephone number before pocketing the small bit of paper and standing up. "What are we going to do now, then?"

"I don't know. What do you suggest, Kimberly? Is there anything you'd like to do on our day off from..." she mouthed the words Ranger duties. Kimberly's eyes lit up like Christmas lights and a smile spread on her lips, which made Tommy groan slightly. "What's wrong?"

"She wants to go shopping," Jason supplied with a knowing look. "How about you girls go with Kimberly to the mall so she can do her shopping while we boys do our own thing?" Hermione, Ginny and Jo all nodded and went with Kimberly to the mall while the boys took their time off to talk about their lives for a while.

Underworld

While the Rangers and the Beetleborgs were enjoying their day, Ivan was watching through the white pool in the center of the stone floor, his purple eyes glinting with malice. "So the heroes are having fun while we plan, eh?" he muttered as the image vanished. "I think we should pay a visit to our friend Zordon, don't you think, Green Ranger?"

"Oh, yes, Master," Green Ranger said with an evil laugh, "I'll be more than happy to see that old oaf again." Ivan chuckled. "Should I call on the Dark Power Rangers to aid us?"

"Eh, what's a little more destruction?" Ivan shrugged. "Let's ride!" The six Dark Rangers disappeared in six columns of black smoke while Ivan raised his hands and vanished in a beam of purple light.

Command Center

"ALPHA," Zordon said, "MY SENSORS TELL ME THAT IVAN AND THE DARK RANGERS ARE ON THEIR WAY. WE MUST ACT QUICKLY IF WE ARE TO SURVIVE."

"I understand, Zordon." Alpha replied. "I am locking down the Command Center as we speak." As he pressed a few buttons on the consoles, the lights went off and the golden robot shut down to rest while Zordon vanished from his energy tube to regenerate his power. Unbeknownst to them, the Dark Rangers were outside the Command Center holding maces, bazookas and detonators.

"What d'you guys say we bust in?" Green Ranger said to Dark Red with an evil grin under his helmet. Dark Red Ranger nodded and aimed his bazooka at the doors. "Rockets ready!" The Rangers holding bazookas aimed like Dark Red did. "Satchel chargers ready!" The Rangers with the detonators pulled out their C-4 explosives. "I'm ready!" Green Ranger held up his mace and shouted, "COMMENCE ATTACK!" Explosives stuck to the main door while rockets destroyed the exterior of the Command Center respectively.

"Green Ranger, what's the mace for?" Dark Blue asked in interest.

"The mace is to destroy that stupid robot!" Green Ranger answered savagely. "When we're done with the place, those pathetic Spirit Force Rangers and those insect cyborgs won't be able to repair anything in the place!" The Dark Rangers laughed. "Now, let's get inside and blow this place to smithereens!" Green Ranger led his team of dark warriors into the dark room that Zordon and Alpha inhabited. He raised the mace to smash Alpha but resisted for a moment. "No...Dark Yellow, blow this bucket of bolts to hell!"

"Yes, sir!" Dark Yellow said with a salute and stuck two C-4 explosives on Alpha's body. "Ready to detonate at your command." When she got the okay and hit the button, Alpha 5 exploded into bits of flaming metal and fried wires. "Let's get Zordon next!"

"NO! NOT YET!" Green Ranger shouted as the other four Dark Rangers attempted to smash Zordon's energy tube. "Ivan wants to save Zordon for Dark Specter!" Dark Blue and Dark Pink backed away from the tube until their leader said, "Take the energy tube and teleport back to the Underworld base. I'll take care of the Command Center." Once the Dark Rangers were gone with Zordon's energy tube, Green Ranger stuck several explosives around the place including the fuse box that powered the place "So long, Power Losers!" he said and teleported out of the building.

Outskirst of Angel Grove - Five Miles from Command Center

After Kimberly did some shopping with the girls, everyone decided to go talk with Zordon because they were all getting worried that Ivan had come up with a plan to destroy them once and for all. When Tommy tried and failed to contact Zordon and Alpha and teleport to the Command Center, he got worried so they decided to drive there. "Guys, something doesn't seem right," Ron said worriedly as they entered the main control room. "Where's Alpha?"

"Well, here's what's left of him," Jo said picking up a bit of Alpha's arm. "Somebody blew him up, guys!" Kimberly started to cry now and Tommy held her close to his chest so she could get it all out. "Kim, stop! Does anyone here a beeping sound?"

"EXPLOSIVES!" Harry shouted. It was total chaos now. Jo gripped Harry's arm while Drew took hold of Ron's and Roland grabbed Ginny's hand. "DISAPPARATE NOW! THE PLACE IS GOING TO BLOW!" Tommy, Kimberly and Jason teleported while Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny all twisted on the spot. Once outside, Harry watched as the evil Green Ranger held something in his hand. "NO! Stop!"

"Sorry, Power Freaks, but this time, I win!" Green Ranger sneered.

Harry and Draco both shouted, "SPIRIT FORCE, POWER UP!" and were morphed into their Ranger forms.

"Wolf attack!" Draco shouted and multiple red energy blasts shot from his shiled while Harry attempted to slash the Green Ranger with his Spirit Saber. Before either attack could hit their foe, Green Ranger's thumb hit the detonator button and the Command Center blew up before their eyes. "NOOOOOO!" Draco shouted as rubble and metal beams fell to the ground and the Green Ranger vanished in a flash of green light.

Jo watched in horror as the remaining bits of the Command Center tumbled to the ground. Her blood boiled with rage and her jaw was set as the fire reflected in her eyes. "Okay, now I'm really mad!" she growled. "If I ever see that lowlife Green Ranger, I'm going to kick him in the family jewels so hard that they'll be deep inside his inner body!"

"Jo, calm down," Harry said calmly patting her on the shoulder. "I'm angry, too, but Ivan really wants us out of the picture. Did anyone see Zordon's energy tube when we got in?"

"No," Jason said shaking his head. "It was gone, man." Tommy kicked a bit of sand angrily and wnet to kick more when his toe smashed into something hard and metal. Groaning with pain, he bent down and picked up a small remote control. "What's that, Tommy?"

"I don't know, Jase, but something tells me it's a good thing." Tommy replied. There was a note on the remote and he read it aloud. "'Rangers, if you are reading this, then I am gone for good. This remote control will provide you with something I've been working on for a while in case Ivan decides to give Zordon to Dark Specter, which he no doubt has already done. Good luck Rangers, and may the Power protect you.'"

"So, this thing will help us, then?" Ron said glancing at the note. "Well, press the bloody button, Tommy!" Tommy nodded and pressed a small red button on the face of the remote. The effect was instantaneous; a door buried in the sand opened and something large was being raised. It looked like something from a sci-fi movie to him. A space shuttle. "What does this mean?"

"We're taking a trip into space!" Jo's voice was barely audible, but the Rangers turned to her. "Alpha knew that Green Ranger and his Dark Ranger team were going to destroy the place and take Zordon sometime, so he built us a shuttle to get off the planet and stop Ivan from conquering the universe!"

"It makes sense, I suppose," Ginny said nodding, "but we're wizards!" She gestured to Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco and herself. "We know nothing about outer space." Harry shook his head but started walking toward the ship. "Harry, you're not seriously thinking of doing this, are you?"

Harry stopped and looked at his fiance'. "Zordon needs our help and I don't think standing here is going to help us!"

"But...what if Zordon's not exactly off the planet?" Hermione pointed out. Now it was everyone's turn to look at her. "I mean, what's the point of taking the most powerful alien wizard off the Earth when Dark Specter could easily use him for ransom?" Harry had to admit she was right, and from what happened next, all she said was true. A female voice, one that the Power Rangers remembered a few weeks back, rang out over the whole city limits.

"People of Earth, we will cease this war of good and evil if you give us the Power Rangers!" Astronema said, her voice magnified from her Dark Fortress. "I promise that if you give me the Power Rangers now, you will survive this! Do not hesitate! You have until midnight to tell us or we will obliterate your planet." With that, she cut off the transmission and the Dark Fortress hovered in the sky for a while.

"Blimey!" Ron gasped. The others watched as Velocifighters, the Quantrons' small ships they used to fire upon enemy vessels, swarmed through the skys looking for the Rangers. The Mega Winger, the Silver Ranger's Zord, swatted them as they tried firing their lasers at him, but were no match for the large robot's power. "The Space Rangers are here! Tommy, should we help them?"

"It's not up to me, Ron," Tommy said and looked at Harry. "It's up to Harry. Well, Red Stag, what do you think?"

Harry hated being asked what to do every time but knew that this was important and if they didn't play their cards right, all would be lost. "We show ourselves to the citizens of Angel Grove. We'll morph in front of Astronema to show her the Power Rangers are still around then call the Zords." The other Rangers nodded and all of them transported to Astronema right away.

Astronema stood on a platform near the Dark Fortress and saw ten people running toward her. A smile played on her lips as they formed a line in front of her. "Are you the Power Rangers?"

"Yes!" Harry shouted at her, though they were ten feet from her. "We are the Power Rangers." Astronema laughed and asked him to prove it. "Very well." The six Spirit Force Rangers raised their wands, Tommy called on his Zeonizers and the Beetleborgs held out their Data Bonders.

"SPIRIT FORCE, POWER UP!"

"ZEO RANGER, FIVE, RED!"

DATA BONDERS, INPUT CARDS! BEETLE BLAST!" There was a spectacular burst of gold light and the heroes were in costume ready to fight. Astronema smiled again.

"Good." She said and turned to Ecliptor. "Destroy them." The alien cyborg nodded once and jumped down to fight. "I'll take the Red Spirit Ranger!" Before she could get to Harry, Andros landed in front of her and took Harry to the side.

"What's wrong, Andros?" Harry asked. "What's...?"

"She's my long-lost sister, Harry," Andros said hurriedly. "I turned her good once but Darkanda, the freak who took her years ago, reprogrammed her. I need you to try and hold her off; talk to her if you can. I'm going to find Zordon." Harry nodded. "Good luck, Harry Potter." Harry smiled and went back to Astronema while Andros went to find Zordon.

"Karone, don't do this!" Harry said. Astronema scowled and got into a fighting stance. "Andros told me who you are! Just don't fight me. I'm your friend."

"Dark Specter, Ecliptor and the Quantrons are my friends!" Astronema shouted. "You are just an obstacle in Dark Specter's plans to rule the universe!"

"No, Ivan Ooze wants to rule the universe! You're just a pawn in his stupid plot to destroy us and the world! Can't you see what Darkanda did to you? Don't do this!" Astronema shrieked with anger and ran at him. Seeing this as a good time to act, Harry pointed his wand at her and shouted the spell that he hoped would work. "INCARCEROUS!" Ropes flew from the tip of his wand and bound her from head to toe. The implants on her head were visible, and he directed his wand at them. "Relashio!" The biggest implant on her head fell off and she turned into a cute, blonde woman. "Karone, are you...?"

"Yeah, thanks," said Karone smiling. "You saved me." Harry cast the Severing Charm on the ropes and they fell off. "Where's Andros?"

"Before you tried to attack me, Andros said he was going to find Zordon. I don't know if..." Karone's eyes glistened with tears and hung her head. "Don't worry," Harry said hugging her in comfort, "I'm sure he's okay." He hoped it, and meant it.

Inside the Dark Fortress

Andros finished fighting Ecliptor and was wandering the corridors when he saw Zordon hooked up to a few thick cords. "Zordon, is that really you?" he asked.

"YES, ANDROS, IT IS REALLY ME," Zordon said. "HARRY HAS SUCCEEDED IN REVERTING YOUR SISTER TO GOOD AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, I AM NOT IN A GOOD CONDITION." Andros cocked his head in confusion, wondering what the old sage meant by this. "IT HURTS ME TO ASK SOMETHING SO HURTFUL OF YOU, ANDROS, BUT THERE IS A WAY TO STOP ALL OF THIS EVIL."

"What is it, Zordon?" Andros asked.

"SHATTER MY ENERGY TUBE." Zordon said. Andros backed away from him, muttering the word 'no' many times. "THERE IS NO OTHER WAY, ANDROS. YOU MUST DO IT NOW. MY POWERS ARE NEARLY GONE. DO IT." Andros raised his Spiral Saber, ready to strike the energy tube but stopped in mid swing. "DO IT, ANDROS!"

"Good-bye, old friend." Andros said and slashed the tube in dead center. There was a collossal explosion and a wave of pure good energy seeped from the shattered tube.

Outside the Dark Fortress

The Spirit Force Rangers, the Beetleborgs and Tommy were all fighting different villains when the gold wave of energy hit everyone. Tommy's costume vanished and a round, gold object fell into his hand. Every evil villain and monster in the universe were turned to piles of dust including the Crustaceans. Ivan Ooze turned into a puddle of ooze before the wave could hit him and only Rita, Zedd and Divatox were given human forms. Even the Space Rangers lost their powers.

"What in the name of Merlin happened?" Harry asked as Andros ran up to them, tears falling down his cheeks in floods. "Andros...what was that?"

"Zordon..." sobbed Andros. "He told me to...shatter his...energy tube! It was the...only...way...to stop...this madness!"

"It's okay," Hermione said soothingly. "You did what was best. Zordon wasn't going to last long with Dark Specter draining what power he had left." Hermione turned to the other Space Rangers and asked, "What happened to Dark Specter?"

"Oh, that big hunk of rock?" TJ said smiling. "Darkonda did a suicide attack and destroyed Dark Specter in the process. Well, I guess all is good in the univers now, right?"

"Yeah," Harry said with a grin as he draped an arm around Ginny's shoulder, "All is good in the universe." His grin turned into a smile as the Blue Turbo Ranger, Justin Stewart, ran up and congratulated them on a job well-done. "Thanks, Justin. Did you help?"

"Are you nuts?" the young boy said incredulously. "I was just walking home from school when I was attacked by Putties, Cogs, Pirahnatrons and Quantrons all at once! I morphed right off the bat and Blue Senturion, the Phantom Ranger and Lerigot helped me!" Justin opened his mouth to say more but Jo caught his eye. "Hi, I'm Justin, the Blue Turbo Ranger."

"I'm Jo McCormick, the Platinum Purple Beetleborg," Jo said smiling. When their hands made contact, they quickly snapped their arms to their sides and blushed. "So...um..."

"Yeah..." Justin said and scratched the back of his head. His eyes then turned to Draco, who was still in his Wolf Warrior armor but had taken his helmet off. "Aren't you the guy who was attacking the Rangers all the time?"

"Yes, but I changed my ways, Justin," Draco said with a small smile. "Oh, guys, I just heard from two blokes...what are they called?...Bulk and Skull? Yeah, Bulk and Skull told me that a shuttle to Terra Venture is ready to board if you want to go."

Ginny shook her head. "Malfoy, we have a bloody shuttle, remember? Alpha left us one before the Dark Rangers blew him and the Command Center up?" Draco smacked himself in the forehead for his stupidity. "Do you want to bring your parents on this Terra Venture place? I'm sending Mum a talking Patronus to see if she wants to go on our shuttle. Your mum and dad can join if they want."

"Yeah, why not?" Draco said shrugging. "I'll Apparate to the mansion and bring them back in say...an hour?" Ginny nodded. "Good. See you then." With that, he vanished.
