A/N: HUGE THANKS to son of whitebeard and bart! Keep up the great reviews guys! Two rangers are now out of the picture and Zordon is not happy (bart's idea). Anyways, enjoy this entry.
Chapter 12:
"Z-Zordon? You're alive!" Trini's voice cracked, she was relived that her mentor survived. However, the wise sage shook his head in shame.
"I'm disappointed in all of you. Jason, I've watched the whole standoff between you and Kimberly. While it was very unranger like, that choice you've made was a last resort kind of decision. There was nothing we could've done to bring our pink ranger back and as for Tommy... he made his own choice. Rocky's in charge the last time I heard?" Zordon looked at the red ninja ranger who nodded.
"Billy's right then. There's no way to bring back Adam either, not to mention Zedd combined all the powers and underestimated the true outcome. Plus Adam killed him with only a shot streak." The new leader explained, his best friend is now the enemy and the most powerful being at the cost of Zedd's own life.
"He's right Rocky. The power rangers will face the most dangerous evil being, and it just happens to be one of us." Zordon's eyes were filled with tears, Trini and Aisha walked to up to him and gave a hug. The two yellow rangers cried while the rest only watched.
(Adam and Scorpina)
"Hm, it appears that, Zordon arrived back. The wise old sage, let's see how powerful he is." Adam made himself known. "Stay here my scorpion."
(Everyone)
"Zack behind you!" Billy alerted his friend, they all saw the now evil Adam.
"Missed me? I didn't think so, all of you will now be easily destroyed!" The dark ranger shot a black and red beam at them, the rangers and Zordon dodged the dangerous light beam.
"Zordon it's too dangerous! What should we do?!" Aisha asked. "Go rangers, I'll try to hold him off." The wise sage urged them to go run off but Jason refused.
"No Zordon! I got Kim and Tommy killed and there's no way in hell you're going to die too!" The red ranger stayed. "No Jason, listen to me. It's not your fault what happened to the pink and white rangers. I personally don't blame you. Now go!"
Zack and Rocky pushed Jason back, but he resisted. "NO! LET ME GO GUYS!" Watching as Zordon raised his staff, "Haven't used this in ages."
The rangers hopelessly watched their mentor fight their friend. Bright lights erupting everywhere as the two fought. Trini cried in Billy's shoulder with Zack partially hugging her. Aisha buried her face in Rocky's chest, the battle never ending.
Zordon grunted as he tried to defend himself. "I said stop!" Adam only laughed at him, "You are powerful. I'll give you that old man. For a wise old sage stuck in that time warp for ages, you're quite fast aren't you?"
Jason had enough. He ran to his mentor's aid, dodging every attack and tackled the dark ranger on the ground. "MURDERER!" He bellowed in his face, choking him with a morbid look on his face. "Bad mistake red ranger." He choked out putting on an evil smirk and Jason knew. He got up and ran away, before a huge explosion surrounded the small area.
"JASON!" Trini screamed out for him, trying to run to his aid but Zack and Aisha held her back. The rangers didn't notice that Rocky was missing, he was making his way towards Scorpina. She was too busy watching the fight that she failed to notice the red ninja ranger raise his weapon. "Gold scorpion extinct!"
It was too late. By the time she turned around, Rocky stabbed her screaming in pain. Everyone stopped including Zordon and Adam who now looked horrified. "SCORPINA!" He ran straight to his princess, sobbing to see that he was too late to save her. "You really mean war don't you Rocky?" Adam questioned, his voice sounded like a madman's. When he didn't answer, the dark ranger glanced around seeing Zordon first.
"How about I get rid of your mentor and see how it feels!" Adam glowed in rage, Zordon already knew and casted a shield to protect his rangers just as Adam caused an earthquake and shot at him, the power rangers powers all combined into one.
Jason wasn't in the shield and took one final look at his teammates before him and his mentor perished. 'Bye guys. Good luck.' Was the red rangers last thought.
As the lights faded, the rangers uncovered their faces. Adam was nowhere to be seen and all that remained was two lifeless bodies. Zack and Trini took a good long look at the original leader, the yellow ranger took him in her arms and cried out in emotional pain. Rocky hissed in frustration, "This can't be all happening! Tommy, Kimberly, Jason, Zordon! Who's next huh?!"
(Adam)
The evil black ninja ranger grunted with fury, 'At least Zordon's dead! But my scorpion princess is now gone.' He watched as the rangers began to walk away from the carnage. "You haven't seen the last of me!"
Coming across the remains of the lake, his arms glowed weak. The big power blast sure knocked the wind out of him, but it was worth it. He just had a few more rangers to deal with now. "Love just doesn't solve anything. I will avenge you, Scorpina." He said to his own reflection and faintly seeing hers as well.
A/N: Jason and Zordon are now out of the picture. Just a few rangers left and Adam will be done with his evil task. What does he keep hiding? Scorpina's death really affected the dark ranger lord. With only Rocky, Trini, Zack, Aisha and Billy left, what will they do now? Stay tuned and give me feedback. The big battle looms over the horizon! And once again, HUGE THANKS to bart and son of whitebeard. This story ends soon!
