A/N: In the last update, Pidge made a new friend, a gray furred wolf she saved from some hunters who wanted to skin it and sell it's pelt, and took it back to the command center where she named him 'Rover', and patched up the wound on his leg given to him by a trap. Meanwhile, Zarkon plans on keeping the inhabitants of another dying planet trapped on there and forbidding them to leave, to have them die when the planet dies. Let's move onto part two of the 'Howl of the Wolf' chapter, shall we? Enjoy!

Inside the bathroom, Pidge had just finished giving Rover a bath, making sure every last hint of dirt from the desert was scrubbed completely out of his fur. After a fresh change of bandages, and having his fur brushed by using one of her old hairbrushes, Pidge was now proud to say that her new companion was squeaky clean.

"Alright Rover, I'd say you're clean enough" Pidge said before placing the brush back inside the drawer and reached a hand into her pocket.

"I got a present for you to. It's my way of saying 'Welcome to our family', and I hope you'll like it" Pidge said to the wolf, who sat down like a dog would. Out of her pocket, she pulled out a black leather collar with a gold buckle and a small tag on it with Rover's name on it. At the sight of the collar, Rover began running around in circles in excitement.

"You like it? Shiro bought it for you today at the pet shop in town. He thought it fit you perfectly" she told him before she gently run a hand down his back and placed the collar around his neck.

"Aw, don't you look so cute?" Pidge asked before she kissed Rover on his forehead, Rover returned the kiss with a friendly lick on her nose.

"Glad you like it, little buddy" she said. The door behind her opened to reveal Keith.

"Oh, hey Keith. Check out Rover's new collar. You like it?" she asked him.

"Uh, yeah. Listen, Carter wants to see us at the master computer room" Keith responded. All she did was get up from the floor and followed him, and so did Rover. Ever since Carter said that Pidge could keep him, Rover never left her side, he followed her almost everywhere she went. Once at the master computer room, Carter began briefing the other rangers.

"We've picked up major Galra activity a few miles away from the planet Taujeer. There's warships getting ready to surround almost the entire perimeter of the planet itself" Carter said pointing out on the computer the planet being slowly approached by massive counts of Galra ships. There were so many of them it was hard to tell how many there were.

"And there's even more bad news. The planet is starting to shed it's surface, which means it'll be an all acid planet once it sheds. The inhabitants of the planet have built their own ship to try and escape, but the Galra have set this blockade up to prevent it" Allura added.

"Why would they want to do that?" asked Shiro.

"We don't know. But any reason Zarkon has to keep a peaceful race from leaving it's dying planet is never a good one" Coran told them.

"You guys need to take down all those Galra and help the Ark escape the planet before it's too late" Carter ordered before he opened up the wormhole.

"Let's move, rangers!" Shiro commanded, everyone followed but Pidge stopped when she saw that Rover was following them too. She got down on one knee and ruffled the fur on the sides of his face.

"Sorry buddy, but you can't come with us. Rangers only" Pidge said in an apologetic tone.

"Pidge, come on. We have to go" Lance told her. She then stood back up and looked to Allura.

"Do me a favor and watch him until we get back?" Pidge asked.

"Of course. Rover will be in good hands, don't you worry about a thing, Pidge" Allura kindly assured her. Pidge nodded and ran towards the wormhole along with the others. When the wormhole was shut, Rover began whining at Pidge's absence in the room.

"Don't worry, she's coming back soon. You'll see" Allura said as she gently rubbed Rover's back.

-On Taujeer-

On the crumbling surface of Taujeer, one of the planet's residents was begging with the Galra general named Morvok to allow his people to leave. Morvok was a strong enforcer of Zarkon's will throughout the galaxy, and he believed his word was law. Taujeer's inhabitants were slightly overweight with only one mechanical eye/vocal box.

"Please, the surface has almost completely shed. We need to leave" the resident said.

"You should have no problem staying. The strongest of your species should mostly survive" Morvok pointed out cruelly.

"But we're all that's left. All of who sit on that ark are families, there are even infants and young children. Surely Zarkon could call off the blockade and allow us safe passage to a nearby moon to establish a new colony?" he begged more.

"Zarkon's given me my orders, and what he says goes, got it?" Morvok snapped, having no patience whatsoever. The sentries that stood by Morvok's sides were shot in the chests with fire blasts and it caused them to explode. Morvok, in complete shock of what was happening turned to one of the hills behind him to see the Power Rangers, all suited up and aiming their element blasters at him.

"Back down, Galra! These people are leaving this planet!" Shiro ordered before jumping off the hill and kicking Morvok in the chest, sending him flying three feet away from the edge of the cracking crust which was mostly surrounded by boiling hot and steaming acid.

"Wait a minute! You're those 'Power Rangers' that Zarkon's always talking about!" Morvok shouted as he got up.

"Glad to know you've heard of us" Lance said as he and the other rangers stood by Shiro's side and aimed their blasters at him.

"I'm not afraid of you! Just until the rest of the fleet gets here! Then you're gonna be in real big trouble!" Morvok said before he hopped back onto the platform he stood on before and pressed a button which sent him flying back up towards the sky. The rangers then powered down and removed the cards from their morphers and back into their pockets. The same Taujeerian resident that was speaking to Morvok before walked up to Shiro and shook his hand.

"It is an honor to meet you at last. Many planetary systems across the galaxy, especially one of the Balmera have spoken highly of the Power Rangers" he told him.

"Well, we're here to help. How's the Ark?" asked Shiro. The Taujeerian looked back up to it and spoke again.

"Those sentries have mostly sabotaged the navigation system, as well as the ignition systems. One of them even shot one of the landing gear's legs off, causing it to almost tilt towards the acid" he explained. Pidge then walked up towards the Taujeerian.

"I can help in repairing the ignition and navigation systems" Pidge told him.

"I'll work on mounting the leg back onto the ship's side. Right now, we need you inside with the rest of your people" Keith said.

"Very well. But I kindly advise you to hurry, we don't have that much time left before the crust is completely shed" the Taujeerian said before running back on board the ship with Pidge following him. Keith then ran up towards the leg and called upon Hunk to help him lift it back up. Once red and yellow rangers got a hold of the heavy leg, they were able to lift it together and get it close to where it was placed before.

"Good job. Now go see if Pidge needs any help" Keith told him. Hunk nodded and went on board the ship. Keith then took off his gloves and started to concentrate his powers.

"Power of fire!" Keith said before he shot a stream of fire out of his palms and used it as a makeshift welding torch to seal the leg back onto the side of the ship. By the time Keith was done sealing the leg back to the ark, he noticed Hunk and Pidge were back outside.

"Alright, we were able to fix the ignition and navigation. What about the leg?" Pidge asked Keith.

"Completely sealed back up" Keith happily reported.

"Good work, now all we gotta do is worry about that incoming blockade" Shiro added in.

"How are we gonna do that? They're probably gonna be firing at us with every single gun their ships have" Lance asked.

"We'll use the Mega-Zord. We may not be able to take on large ships by ourselves, but we can with the Mega-Zord, not to mention it can withstand any kind of attack the Galra can dish out" Shiro answered. Everyone then nodded to themselves and placed their power cards into their gauntlets.

"Astro Blaster, Supercharge!" they chanted and their suits and helmets were back on their bodies. Once all morphed they began to chant a command again.

"Spirit of the lions, ascend!" and the lions flew down from the sky and landed gently on the ground so that they would not disturb the surface. The rangers then found their way to the control panels of their respective lions.

"Form Mega-Zord!" all the rangers chanted and within minutes, the black lion formed the body, red and green formed the arms, and blue and yellow formed the legs. Once Mega-Zord had properly been formed, they stood waiting for any sign of the blockade to start showing up. Suddenly, from behind the clouds, several Galra warships appeared, and started firing at the ark and the Mega-Zord.

"They're not too happy. Let's make sure they stay that way" Shiro said.

"Agreed" Keith said, sticking his hilt into the control panel's key-port and the power blade appeared inside the arm Keith operated. Using it, they started deflecting cannon blasts and sending them back towards the ships, which caused great damage, but the more focused they were on one attack, one of the other ships attacked the Mega-Zord from a different angle, and caused damage to it's body.

"Guys, we're taking heavy fire!" said Lance.

"There's too many of them, we can't take all of them at once" Shiro said.

"We've never faced so many at once before" Pidge added.

-Back on Earth-

Carter, Coran, and Allura watched in horror as the Mega-Zord took multiple hits to it's body, and how some of the attacks hit the surface as well, speeding up the planet's outer shell's shedding. Allura could feel her heart racing at the sight of this, and so did Carter.

"How can this be? Normally the Mega-Zord would be enough to take a Galra enforcer down" Coran commented.

"When it came to those monsters they faced before, yes. But these are powerful warships with heavy duty weapons. They've never faced anything like this before" Carter replied. Rover, who was watching the whole thing started growling at the screen and then ran up to the computer's keyboard, pressing the button which activated the wormhole.

"What the!?" Carter yelled in disbelief. Rover's eyes started glowing purple, which Carter noticed, and then began running towards the wormhole which had just been opened.

"Rover, stop!" Allura called out, but it was too late. Rover had just gone through the wormhole and it shut when he entered.

"What was that about?" Coran asked. Carter then began pulling out the same book he was reading before and began skipping through the pages, didn't even bother looking through the table of contents. All Carter did was speed read through all the pages until he could find the right one.

-Back on Taujeer-

Shiro, who was doing his best to try and keep the Mega-Zord standing, noticed something on his computer. It was a little blipping red light, as well as an alarm sound.

"Guys, another wormhole is opening" Shiro told everyone. All eyes were on the wormhole which opened close by the ark to reveal it was Rover. Pidge gasped and her eyes widened in worry.

"Carter, why's Rover here!?" Pidge asked, she felt like her heart could burst right out of her chest given how fast it was beating right now.

"He just pressed the button and ran through. I don't know why he did it" Carter answered through the headsets.

"Well whatever he's doing here, he doesn't seem to look too happy" Hunk commented, pointing at the fact that a silver aura now surrounded Rover. His eyes began glowing purple and he began growing in size.

"You guys are seeing this too, right?" Keith asked, the others responded with a 'Uh-Huh'. They all watched as Rover grew and began acting completely savage, there was now a silver glow surrounding Rover, and once it disappeared, he looked totally different. He was now covered in sleek silver metal, with glowing purple eyes, and some parts of his body was dark blue, like the middles of his forehead and muzzles, as well as his legs, and his tail.

"Woah, that's something I never expected to see" Lance said once he saw Rover, now turned into a giant robotic wolf and it howled to the sky, which emitted several sonic waves and caused three Galra ships to shut down and fall down into the acid. The wolf then looked to where Pidge was and opened it's mouth to allow a silver glowing projectile fly out and into her hand after it merged through the command center's visor. In her hand now was a silver card which looked like her power card, except it was silver and on the front was a golden wolf head.

"It's a power card. I think Rover's really a Zord" Pidge said while staring down at the silver power card.

"Fenrir" Carter said, catching everyone else's attention.

"Excuse me?" Shiro asked.

"It's name is Fenrir. It's one of the Legend-Zords, zords powered by the spirits of ancient warriors" Carter explained.

"I remember now. Fenrir, the great wolf spirit" Pidge piped in.

"Exactly. When you saved it from those hunters in the desert, Pidge, it imprinted on you. All that affection he gave you, was it's way of letting you know that he chose you to be the keeper of his card" Carter explained to her. Pidge couldn't feel more honored right now to hear that the Fenrir Zord had chosen her to be his keeper. She then looked back up to see her new zord had been hopping from ship to ship, tearing apart the command towers using it's powerful and sharp claws.

"It's taking down more of the Galra ships that were attacking us before!" Keith said happily.

"Now that is one big bad wolf" Lance added.

"Way to go, Fenrir Zord!" Pidge happily exclaimed as another Galra ship fell victim to his power.

"Glad to know he's on our side! Now let's take out the rest of this blockade!" Shiro ordered. Now the battle was truly about to begin for the rangers.

A/N: There you have it! Rover is really a powerful zord, the spirit of the mighty wolf, Fenrir. But now the real challenge begins, can they save the citizens of Taujeer before it's destruction is complete? Or will it be too late and will it all be for nothing? Find out in the next update. Please review, thanks!
