Episode 11 – Which Side?
Hopefully you have guessed who Black Ranger is by now, I would be a little worried if you haven't yet, thanks for reading, please review…. Enjoy!
Busy City Street, Briarwood
The disturbed Alex walked down the busy street, biting his lip and in deep thought about the identity of Black Ranger. He came to a curve in the street when he saw his friends Eric and Trish, Blue and Yellow Mystical Thunder Rangers. He walked over to them continuing to think about his rivaled ranger.
"Hey man, ready to go to school" Eric said with a somewhat depression in his voice. Trish gave a small grin and padded her friend on the shoulder.
"Hey, if you don't look at he time all day, it will pass quickly and 6 hours will seem like 2" she said comforting Eric, but Alex remained in deep thought. Eric stared at his best friend for a moment until giving him a little shake to wake him up from his state of mind.
"Hello, anybody in their, time to go to school, are you okay?" asked Eric as he tried to get the Red Rangers attention, Alex suddenly shook his head and looked up at his friends with a concerned look.
The three friends walked down the busy street, as Alex told them what was on his mind.
"No way, Zack can't be Black Ranger, he just moved here, didn't he?" asked Eric, understanding why Alex was so disturbed.
Trish looked over at Alex for a minute to process what was going through her head, as she started to make sense of it.
"That would explain why he has been acting so weird lately" she commented to her friend, Eric nodded and agreed with her.
"That would explain it, it is too much of a coincidence for him to be acting so weird when Black Ranger appears and why he has the exact same injury as him, when I slashed him with my Mystic Sword Defender" explained Alex, getting his head around the whole situation.
Eric and Trish agreed with him as it all started to make sense to them as well. The three rangers walked through the school gates and into the brick colored building. They walked down the hallway and to their lockers to retrieve their books for the first class they each had.
Down the hall, Zack was walking the opposite way the rangers were walking. Alex stopped Zack for a minute, grabbing his attention.
"Zack, can we talk to you for am moment?" asked Alex, getting ready to ask him a heavy question.
The teenager's eyes glowed a bright red as the three rangers and Zack walked into a corner that was deserted by other students and teachers. Eric faced Zack and took a deep breathe.
"Zack, we know that your Black Ranger and working for Vagorous" he whispered to the black clothed teenager. Alex and Trish nodded to what the Blue Ranger had just said.
Trish cleared her throat, ready to whisper "You can break the spell that you're under; you need to fight it and break the curse". Zack started to clench his fists as something started swelling inside his body. A small indigo light started erupting from Zack; the rangers acted quickly and took him outside of the building.
Flashes of Zack's memories started to form in his mind as the four teenagers hid behind a nearby wall. Memories of Zack's father dying on his bed, flashed in his mind, along with other memories like good times with the rangers and his grandma.
Suddenly a shock came over Zack as he gave a small cry to the rangers. "Help, he has me again, I feel the evil taking over my body!!" he teenager dropped to the floor as the rangers watched on in shock. Zack's eyes switched from glowing red to their normal color, back and forth. The teenager suddenly stopped and gathered himself to his feet as he stared at the rangers.
He freed himself from the ranger's grip, when they were holding him from the shock he had. He side kicked Alex, and did a front flip over Eric and Trish knocking them down with a simultaneous punch from both fists. His eyes glowed a bright red once again as he ran out of the school. The rangers watched on as the evil Zack morphed into Black Ranger as he ran through the gates. Alex confirmed his suspicions as Eric and Trish confirmed theirs, that Zack was most definitely the evil Black Ranger.
The rangers Thunder Changers gave of a beeping noise as Alex answered his, to see what the matter was.
"Rangers, Vagorous has sent down some kind of monster that looks like a treble clef, he has a screeching yell and is causing havoc in the city" Nick said from Rootcore, watching a visual of the monster in the Magical Globe. The rangers lined up and got ready to morph.
"We will need to take care of Zack later…..Lets Thunder Up!" Alex commanded as the rangers prepared to morph.
"Ready… Magical Source, Thunderous Force!" called the rangers as they morphed into the Red, Blue and Yellow Mystical Thunder Rangers and they teleported to the Main Town of Briarwood.
Main Town, Briarwood
The rangers arrived on scene to find the treble clef monster with a small bunch of Dustbergs. Alex took on the monster as Eric and Trish fought the Dustbergs.
"Lets turn these guys into the dust they are" Eric said taking out his Thunder Hammer smashing several Dustbergs, with heavy blows.
Trish responded with a "Yea, lets do it, Thunder Bow", the Yellow Ranger summoned her mighty Thunder Bow and fired multiple lightning arrows at a group of Dustbergs.
Alex slashed the treble clef monster with his Mystic Sword Defender several times to the ribs and chest. He switched his Sword Mode to Blaster Mode and charged it up.
"Mystic Defender, Full Power" Alex cried as he shot the powerful ball of energy at the monster, the ball made impact with the monster and sent him several feet back to the ground. The other rangers gathered with their Red Ranger and got ready for the final blow.
"Thunder Saber! Mystic Thunder Cannon… Online!" called Alex summoning his Thunder Saber and joining it with the other two weapons, forming the Mystic Thunder Cannon.
As the rangers got ready to fire the final blow, their was a sudden explosion towards the treble clef monster. The rangers looked over to where the blast was and saw Black Ranger.
"Oh good, there is Zack, we might be able to break the spell while he is in ranger form, so we don't hurt him to bad" explained Trish, but Alex and Eric continued to stare at the Black Ranger. The rangers made a discovery as the looked at the different looking ranger.
"He looks somewhat different now, his visor isn't red, it's like ours now, and in the shape of a Stag Beetle" Alex said, as the rangers watched Zack get closer. The monster got back to its feet and growled, clenching his fists.
"See how you like this, ranger!" the monster said as he gave a loud screech. The rangers dropped to the floor holding their ears, from their helmets. Zack gave a sudden stop and turned himself into a black and purple aura as he teleported behind the screeching monster.
He then formed his Chaos Staff and gave a hard slash in the back of the monster stopping the screeching and causing the monster to explode.
The rangers watched on, in shock as Zack destroyed the treble clef monster; the rangers hoped that Zack had become good once again.
Throne Room, Darkness Realm
Lord Vagorous smashed his staff on to the ground in anger as he watched Zack destroy the latest monster. General Voltor clenched his fists joining his master in their anger and frustration.
"Voltor, it seems that evil spell you put on that teenager seems to have been broken, and now he is using the Black Ranger powers for good, go to the Surface World and destroy him, along with the other meddlesome rangers!" ordered Vagorous. The angered General charged his power as small bolts of lightning erupted from his body as he walked out of the Throne Room.
"I knew I shouldn't have trusted that kid, I never liked him anyway, and now he will pay dearly for crossing Lord Vagorous!" Voltor said, infuriated.
Main Town, Briarwood
Zack walked over to the rangers and helped them to their feet. He shook Alex's hand and padded him on the shoulder.
"Sorry I have been a nuisance to you guys, I was brainwashed by General Voltor, when I was walking home from school, he turned me evil and handed me the Black Thunder Changer, I hope you can forgive me……. Alex, Eric and Trish!" Zack spoke as he watched the three rangers nearly fall back to the ground at the shock of him knowing their identities.
"But how do you know, who we are?" asked Alex, Zack gave a small laugh as he got ready to explain.
"I saw you three morph a couple days ago as I was walking to class, that's when I knew you three were Power Rangers" Zack explained, the three rangers nodded their heads, attempting to remember which day they morphed, that exposed their identities.
There was a sudden explosion towards the four rangers, as they looked up and saw General Voltor appear from the Darkness Realm, with his swords ready for battle.
"You will pay for deceiving us, Black Ranger, all four rangers will be wiped out by me!" the infuriated Voltor yelled as he charged for the rangers. The four Mystical Thunder Rangers got ready for battle as they took out their weapons.
"Thunder Saber" called Alex, his fellow rangers, followed his command.
"Thunder Bow" called Trish, summoning her mighty Bow.
"Thunder Hammer" called Eric, smashing his hammer to the ground, ready for battle.
"Black Chaos Swords" called Zack summoning his twin, black colored swords.
Alex slashed Voltor hard with his Saber, stopping Voltor's charge. Zack followed the Red Ranger by slashing Voltor again with his twin swords several times. Eric leaped into the air, raising his hammer, before giving a hard blow, as he came back to the ground. Multiple feet away, Trish aimed her lightning arrows towards the evil General; she fired four arrows at a time, sending Voltor flying backwards.
Zack used his chaos power and teleported, behind the flying Voltor. Zack joined the pummels of his twin swords to form his Chaos Staff and waited for the General to get closer. Alex took out his Mystic Defender and fired several beams at Voltor to send him back faster towards Zack.
The Chaos Staff finished charging to its maximum power as Zack gave a hard slash to Voltor, taking a lot of energy away from the general. The rangers gathered back together with their weapons raised towards General Voltor.
"Darn you rangers, you will pay for this!" he said as he held his injured body, attempting to continue holding his twin swords.
"I don't think so, your reign of terror is over Voltor….your finished" said Alex as he, Eric and Trish formed the Mystic Thunder Cannon.
"Ready, Aim…. Fire!" called the rangers in unison, as the powerful cannon fired a huge beam of energy towards Voltor, making impact. Zack leaped into the air, ready to finish the fight off. He stretched out his hands and made a large ball of powerful chaos energy.
"Take this!" he said as he threw the massive ball of chaos energy towards General Voltor finishing him off. Sparks of lightning erupted from the General as he fell to the ground and exploded.
The rangers cheered for their victory with four rangers and made a pose.
"Power Rangers Mystical Thunder!" each ranger called, making a pose of their respective zord.
"Welcome to the team, Zack!" Alex said, shaking the Black Ranger's hand.
